Allen Park � Two months into the NFL�s offseason work, and two months before training camp starts, Wednesday seemed like a good time to ask Calvin Johnson for a systems check on Megatron�s circuitry.
�Body�s feeling good, knee�s feeling good, hand�s feeling good,� he said, working his way from head to toe. �So I can�t complain.�
Not that he ever really does, of course. But among the myriad tasks for the new Lions coaching staff is this one, too: The longer they can keep Calvin Johnson feeling good, the better off they�ll all be.
And though most of the talk about the Lions offseason moves has focused on what it means for quarterback Matthew Stafford � he quickly grew weary of questions about footwork drills � maximizing Johnson�s potential is a big part of it, too.
He�s already the biggest � and best � target in the NFL, even as he enters his eighth season. But Johnson�s also a prime target for opposing defenses. And when the All-Pro receiver is surrounded by the supporting cast he had for much of the last two seasons in Detroit, he�s a much easier target to hit � for opponents.
Which is part of the reason I was asking him about last year�s pain and suffering.
Johnson limped through the final three months of 2013 on a damaged right knee. (�It was bad enough where I had to get it drained every week,� he said.) And he played the entire season with a mangled left ring finger that was, as he politely described it, �stuck at 90 degrees.� (Ex-teammate Nate Burleson described the post-surgical photos Johnson texted him as �literally the worst thing I�ve ever seen.�)
�He would never complain about that, but certainly that was a factor, I think, in the way that he played,� general manager Martin Mayhew said this offseason..
The finger might�ve had something to do with a few uncharacteristic drops. But it was the knee that affected him the most. He�d have it drained on Monday after games to reduce the swelling and discomfort, rest it for 48 hours for precautionary reasons, then rejoin his teammates for a day or two of practice most weeks. His conditioning suffered, he admits, and so did his timing, which makes some of Johnson�s performances all the more impressive � the record-setting 329-yard day against Dallas in October, or the dominant first half at Pittsburgh in November.
�You know the plays, but I feel that you have to go out there and practice to be able to play at your best,� Johnson said. �I�m a firm believer in that.�
With the Lions eliminated from playoff contention, Johnson finally sat out in Week 17. Then he underwent surgeries to clean out the knee and repair the finger in early January.
�So it�s good to have those things freed up right now,� Johnson said.
Much needed help
As for freeing up No. 81, that�s been a familiar refrain for some time now in Detroit.
The high point probably came in 2011, when fellow receivers Burleson and Titus Young combined for 121 catches and nine touchdowns, tight ends Brandon Pettigrew and Tony Scheffler added 109 catches and 11 touchdowns, and Jahvid Best helped key a fast start as an dual-threat running back. Not surprisingly, Johnson led the league in receiving as the Lions ended their playoff drought,
He did it again in 2012, shattering Jerry Rice�s NFL season record with 1,964 receiving yards. But, Johnson wasn�t just the primary target. He was practically the only one, racking up 122 catches on a whopping 205 targets for a team that lost its final eight games. The next highest reception total among the Lions wideouts belonged to Young, the troubled talent who caught 33 balls before being deactivated for the final month of the season.
Last year, it was much the same as Burleson, who missed half the season with a broken arm, finished second among the wide receivers with 39 catches. The addition of Reggie Bush in a backfield tandem with Joique Bell helped diversify the attack somewhat, but Stafford again was forced to lean too heavily on his No. 1 receiver because of limited secondary options. (According to Pro Football Focus, Kris Durham�s 46.3 percent �catch rate� ranked among the league�s worst.)
That�s why the Lions went out and paid big money for Golden Tate in free agency. It�s also why they spent a top-10 draft pick on a pass-catching tight end in Eric Ebron.
�And that�s where we can help Calvin out,� said Bush, citing those two offseason additions in particular. �We need to be able to spread the ball around so that one guy is not getting too beat up.�
Offense looks good
Spreading the wealth is hardly a novel concept. But it�s one that new offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi has seen work to near-perfection, at times, coaching the past several years in New Orleans. The Saints had four players with 70-plus catches last season, and seven with 30 or more in years before that, including their 2009 Super Bowl run.
And while Lombardi joked Wednesday about being awestruck by Johnson�s ability � �You�ve got to be careful not to be a fan when you�re watching him because it�s really unbelievable when you see him in person,� he said � the idea is to take advantage of defenses when they do fixate on him.
So far, Johnson says he likes what he sees from Lombardi�s hefty playbook and an up-tempo scheme that should resemble the Saints� offense, at least in theory.
�I love it because we can run one play out of so many different looks,� Johnson said. �And that goes for every play that we have. It�s so much variety.�
�It�s not the same as last year, by any means.�
And for the moment, that feels pretty good.

Type | |

Light |
Invisible, blue, or yellow |
Effect |
Unlocks doors, chests, etc. |
Creator |
Ancient African sorcerer; first brought to Britain by Eldon Elsrickle in the early 1600s |
- "There are many ways to pass through locked doors in the magical world (see the Fire-Making Spell, Gouging Spell, and the Reductor Curse) where you wish to enter or depart discreetly, however, the Unlocking Charm is your best friend."
- —The introduction to the entry on this spell in Book of Spells.[src]
The Unlocking Charm, also known as the Thief's Friend (Alohomora) is a charm that opens mechanical locks that are not protected by magic. It is also able to open doors locked by Colloportus. There is a spell called the Anti-Alohomora Charm which is used to counteract this spell.
Descriptions of this spell are written in numerous books, including the first volume of the Standard Book of Spells series, where it is described in chapter seven [1] and a spellbook that can be found in the Hogwarts Library.[2]
Although it is unknown who invented it (the spell was created in Africa) it was brought to Britain and hence to the world in the 17th century by Eldon Elsrickle. He used it to terrorise London, stealing from homes of Muggles and wizards alike, until Blagdon Blay invented an Anti-Alohomora Charm.
Known practitioners
- Eldon Elsrickle
- Hermione Granger
- Ron Weasley
- Harry Potter
- Lord Voldemort
- Miriam Strout
- Nymphadora Tonks
- Unknown Death Eater (possibly Lucius Malfoy)
Known uses
- In the early 1600s, Eldon Elsrickle was the first wizard to use it in the western world. Elsrickle had learnt the spell from an Ancient African sorcerer, and used it to ransack the houses of London, Muggle and wizarding alike.
- On 31 October 1981 Lord Voldemort used this spell to break into the Potters' house and murder James and Lily Potter.
- Hermione Granger used this spell on multiple occasions: she used it to open a forbidden entrance on the Third Floor Corridor of Hogwarts Castle in 1991, to open the window to Professor Filius Flitwick's office to rescue Sirius Black in 1994, and to open Regulus Black's bedroom in 12 Grimmauld Place in 1997.
- The Janus Thickey Ward at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries can only be entered by using this spell. Healers and visitors may enter, but patients are unable to get out.
- During the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, one of the Death Eaters used this spell to open doors shut by the D.A..
- In 1600s, after multiple robberies, Eldon Elsrickle eventually found that all wizarding households placed an Anti-Alohomora Charm on their doors, and could no longer unlock their doors.
- The door guarding the Philosopher's Stone in 1991 was protected against Alohomora; a winged key was necessary to open it. A single door in the Department of Mysteries was impervious to this spell as well. It is the door which presumably conceals the room where the Ministry of Magic studies the power of Love.
- In 1996, Harry assumed that Umbridge's office door had been bewitched so that this spell wouldn't work.
- In 1996, Harry Potter tried to use the spell on the Hogwarts gates with no effect, as Albus Dumbledore had bewitched the gates.
J. K. Rowling stated that the word was from the West African Sidiki dialect used in geomancy and has the literal meaning "Friendly to thieves". [3]
Behind the scenes
- Although Dolores Umbridge's office at Hogwarts was (assumed) impervious to this spell in the novel, Harry Potter uses this spell to open it before attempting to use the Floo Network in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
- As it was described in a textbook, this may be learned in Hogwarts Charms classes in the first year.
- This may be the spell that Remus Lupin used to open a wardrobe containing a Boggart, and the spell that Harry Potter used wandlessly to open his cupboard to retrieve his school supplies.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, instead of using Alohomora to help Sirius Black escape, Hermione used Bombarda to blast open his cell door.
- In the Chamber of Secrets video game for GameCube, Xbox and PS2 it's specified that Alohomora is for use on mechanical locks. In most other sources, it's used on magical locks and the spell colloportus as well.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Years 5-7, Reducto is used to blast open most locks, instead of Alohomora.
- According to Book of Spells, the spell Portaberto was the most popular unlocking spell before this, and prior to that Open Sesame was.

Stroke Symptoms and Signs
Each year about 500,000 people in the United States suffer a first stroke, and a further 200,000 people have a recurrent stroke. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., and also is a major cause of disability and loss of independence and quality of life. Up to 40% of strokes are fatal, but the risks of death from a stroke and the degree of disability can both be significantly reduced by prompt treatment.
Strokes result from impaired oxygen delivery to brain cells via the bloodstream. The oxygen-deprived brain cells die and result in various neurological impairments, depending on the area of the brain that is involved. A stroke is also referred to as a cerebrovascular accident or CVA. The blood supply to the brain can be interrupted both by a blockage in one of the arteries that supply blood to the brain, or a rupture of a blood vessel within the brain. Stroke caused by blockage of an artery is called ischemic stroke, while stroke caused by rupture of an artery is called a hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke is much more common than hemorrhagic stroke.

'Jay-Z's iPod On Shuffle'
21 November 2010
'Jay-Z's iPod On Shuffle'
Auckland. Production load in.
Jet lag is such a mad, brutal experience. I did OK but still woke up at 4am, 6am, 8am, every time being convinced that it must be nearly noon. I eventually gave in and got up, making my way down to the breakfast place on the seventh floor, where I found a couple of equally wounded comrades. Smasher went to bed at 6pm, woke up at 3am and had been awake ever since, so I€™d say the €˜four o€™clock wall€™ will hit him pretty hard this afternoon.
After a spot of brekky I thought it might be helpful to take a walk, which I did. Auckland€™s topography features some impressively steep hills so it got the blood circulating at least and I found my way to a park which was all very pleasant of a sunny Sunday morning. I also came across a little market and, of all things, bought some Christmas cards. The rationale being that, if nothing else, the pleasant activity of sitting writing Christmas cards would keep me awake until the afternoon when I went to meet Bono.
This I did and found it a pleasantly Zen pastime, until I got the call to go to the meeting. When I got to the appointed venue, it began to become apparent that this was not just a meeting (not even a meeting at all, actually) but a full on social event for our part of the touring party. Jay-Z and his manager John came along too and drinks segued into lunch. I wasn€™t drinking as I knew I€™d be asleep within minutes, but it was all very easy and pleasant as we settled in for the afternoon. Jay-Z seems very likeable, a little shy at first but clearly very smart and solid. We sat down to lunch with his iPod on shuffle which was as surprising as it was revealing. Eminem, The Temptations, The Smiths, Phil Collins, The Cardigans... an extraordinarily broad range and eclectic mix.
I had my chat with the band guys about the show and the new elements, so felt better prepared to go into the stadium that evening for a look at everything. This I did, and it transpired that the stage production had gone in and up like there€™d only been a couple of days off, rather than a seven-week break. There was the odd hitch here and there, but generally it was a good effort all round. Just as we were settling in to look at all the new video material up on the screen, something happened and a big chunk of the screen stopped working. It was a cabling thing, apparently, and a little frustrating as it made it hard to get a feeling for how the new pieces will work. By this time everyone was dog tired and lagged in extremis, so rather than stay there feeling unsure and losing confidence I decided it would be better to knock off for the night and have another go tomorrow. The band isn€™t in until Tuesday, so tomorrow night is our night to make all the fixes and get our ducks in a row. We were practically hallucinating by the time we got back to the hotel. Jet lag is a mad, brutal experience.

Travel day, Melbourne - Auckland.
Within the bands entourage (certainly by comparison to the crews clockwork scheduling) travel departure times are often a little loose. This morning was especially so, due to three contradictory memos which had been emailed out last night and this morning.

I was planning on resurrecting the tour diary today, being the day we were scheduled to fly to Auckland for the load-in tomorrow. However, its now old news that the remainder of the tour dates have been postponed, so Im not going anywhere further than the corner cafe. Its been a very weird week indeed - much akin to driving into a wall.

Italy Travel guide
Italy : Michelin's recommendations
'The problem with Italy is that it's too beautiful,' remarked Pierre-Auguste Renoir. 'Why paint when you can get so much pleasure out of just looking?' And yet, rarely has any country produced so many artists and masterpieces! From the high Apennines, the balcony of the Mediterranean plunging down to the sea, you can't help being struck by the contrasting beauty of this land bathed by an intense light and four inland seas over its nearly 7,500 km -long coastline.
This boot-shaped peninsula is crisscrossed by roads with antique names: Appia, Aurelia, Emilia and Flaminia. It's up to you to find out if the old saying is true about them all leading to Rome! The incomparable Eternal City will take you on a journey through time from ancient Rome to Fellini's Dolce Vita, including the treasures of the Renaissance and Baroque eras, with amazing archaeological and aesthetic discoveries on every street corner.
Dining is another exciting side of the Bel paese to explore: every region has its secret technique for raising pizza to the level of a gastronomic dish. Caffè stretto, lungo, macchiato, latte: Italy's most famous drink comes in as many shades as the palette of a painter like Veronese.
The many celebrations held throughout the year may help you to choose a destination, from the Venice Carnival in late winter to the edifying processions during Holy Week in Sicily. But, as the writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez remarked facetiously, don't forget that in Italy 'even God goes on holiday in August'!

Have a question and looking for feedback from industry peers? This month KBDN listens in on dialogue between industry professionals as excerpted from the KitchenBathPros.com online Design Discussion Forum.
I am a kitchen/bath designer for a firm that caters to retail and commercial clients. Currently, I am working with large-scale projects and working under extremely strict deadlines. The problem I'm having is that a lot of clients think they can come in unannounced and without an appointment and, in effect, monopolize my time.
Since we have a showroom, I understand that people will want to come and check us out and look around. However, I need a tactful way to convey to these clients that I cannot spend a large amount of time with them without an appointment, and that it is not okay to just show up without an appointment and expect to receive excellent customer service.
Unfortunately, we do not have a sign on our door that states "By Appointment Only." I feel this would be a good solution, however my boss does not agree. Any ideas?
Limit yourself to five minutes and when time is up, say, "I'm sorry I can't answer all your questions, but I'm on a deadline this morning. Is there another time that we can sit down and discuss your project?"
I agree, but I'd also tell them right up front how much time you have, that you can speak with them for five, 10, 15 minutes, whatever, and then stick to that time, unless the person turns out to be clearly someone who would not be your client, then cut it shorter in a pleasant way. If, on the other hand, they represent a huge job, extend the time as desired.
But, I think it changes how they will discuss their needs with you if they know how much time they have. I'd absolutely stick to your watch on that and then end it when you said you would, at which point they can make an appointment if they are interested.
Some of my customers use two-sided business cards. The front has all the usual stuff, while the back side is for appointment details. This makes it clear what the expectations are.
You could add a tag line that your clients should feel free to call ahead to schedule time whenever they feel the need. Be clear when you hand your card out that a call is vital to ensure that you are in the showroom and the time will be convenient for both parties.
I'm just wondering what others' opinions are about doing discounts and promotions.
Things are getting quiet around here, but I've certainly never had any luck with promos in the past. That, plus perceived bargains for better quality kitchen design, just seem to be counter-productive. Better yet – does anyone have any fresh ideas about generating valuable leads?
I agree, sales and promotions do not work, and they give quality dealers a bad image. In my opinion, nothing works right now. I have used television with no results, so I am going to try newspaper inserts, and I'm also going to try a local Women's Expo.
Things are very quiet for me lately as well. I sent out a bunch of e-mails to AIA members and didn't get a single bite, but...in placing one random call last week, the architect talked quite a bit and was enthusiastic about working together.
I gave him incentive, telling him that if a project is published, he'd be listed as a resource. First comes writing the letters, then is the follow up. I've had some success with that tactic, especially since architects usually have the big-ticket kitchens. They're worth contacting.
We've never used any means of advertisement, but this was due to the large grouping of builders, architects and cabinet dealers we had [on our client roster].
We still find that word-of-mouth is the better advertisement. It comes off as more sincere if it's from a past client or builder.
Contacting everyone on our dealer list always seems to stir up new work and gives us advance notice for scheduling.
Does anyone use any glass mosaic for backsplashes in kitchens, or maybe as border/trim pieces in bathrooms (and kitchens)?
We had this stuff last year but we had absolutely no bites, so we gave our display to a local dealer.
But we are looking to make a push for it again, this time specifically with trim and accent pieces. We are in a very traditional market and mosaic scared everyone before – it was too modern.
We like it for two reasons: it looks fantastic and can be bold or subtle, and the margins are great. Does anyone else share this market and sell mosaic? Is it worth trying?
I'm working for a company that does high-end design work, and every kitchen and bath uses tile work, including mosaics.
The key is to design the kitchen or bath showing the mosaic or tile pattern, and get the homeowners excited about the look they will achieve.
It takes more time to design with these tile patterns, but it will increase your profit margin.
Likewise, if you only show the tile in the showroom, without specifying and designing a layout, the interest will not be as great in your tile product.
That gives me some hope. If we decide to go forward, we're going to design a couple backsplashes in our showroom to show what a finished product looks like. And yes, the profit margin is part of the reason why we are taking a second look. Every little bit helps. Plus, I think it looks cool mixed with natural stone-type colors.
What does everyone think about the value of attending local home & garden shows?
I worked the PA Builder's show for a countertop company. He brought in a new product that no one else could get for the show.
The booth expense was large, and without the new product to show, I don't think he would have had as many leads as we generated. The new product was exciting and brought people into the booth. That generated the leads for other products he sold.
Years ago, another company had quartz countertops at the show. Those tops easily generated a year's worth of leads for them.
Across from our booth, they were selling wood-burning stoves, and the business in that booth was phenomenal! The company I worked for even mentioned that they should have opened a wood-burning stove account, and had the stoves at the show.
Basically, it's hard to generate leads in home shows when all of the kitchen companies are showing the same products – granite, quartz, Formica, and cabinets with the same stains and glazes.
So, what sets you apart from the other companies at the show?
Unless you have something unique to show, I think it would be hard to generate business. There has to be something different that will get them to walk into your space. Then, you have a chance of talking with them, bonding and setting up future appointments that will be profitable.
We just wrapped up our local home show. I attend these in part because I feel the need to stay "top-of-the-mind" with my community. Last year we "met" a client at the show who has since spent over $250K in our showroom.
Like anything, you'll get out of it what you put into it.
I agree that you need something different to draw people in and get them interested in your company and what they have to offer. I think my company is going to start doing one or two shows a year now. I agree that keeping your name out there is the best advertising, because even if the people who see you there don't contact you immediately, they might remember you down the road.
I am renewing my liability insurance with a different company than the one I currently use. I am told I should have an Errors & Omissions policy. This has never been recommended in the past, and I'm wondering what everyone here is doing in this regard.
My liability policy has it. The way it was explained to me is that you should really have it if you are a contractor; and it becomes less necessary if you are simply supplying cabinetry. Of course, like any other insurance, it all seems unnecessary until the time you actually need it.
Thanks for the reply. We actually have two companies here. One is strictly install; the other is design and supply. The policy in question is with the latter.
My agent informed me that the GL company won't even write me without the E&O policy (by another insurance company company). I'm told it pertains to the design aspect of the business. The premium for the E&O policy is twice as much as the GL!
Something doesn't seem right, so I am going to investigate more.
The following was recently published by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). Perhaps this will help clarify any confusion about E&O insurance policies and business.
Do You Need Errors and Omissions (E & O) Insurance?
by Jeffrey Moses
Also called "professional liability" or "malpractice" insurance, errors and omissions (E & O) insurance should be considered by companies and individuals who work with clients in the areas of consultation, service provision, design or sales.
In essence, E & O insurance protects you against claims that you did something incorrectly for a client or did not do something that you normally would be expected to do in the course of business events.
E & O coverage provides protection for claims or lawsuits for mistakes or omissions that result in financial losses for a client. This insurance is different from all types of coverage protecting against damage to property, physical injury and so on.
E & O insurance helps protect you in two vital areas:
- Attorney fees, which in many instances can be as costly or more costly than settlements that might result. Even if you are hit with a most unreasonable lawsuit, you still might have to pay for your legal defense.
- The amount of any settlement you would pay if found at fault.Businesses that should consider E & O insurance include, among others:
- Real estate companies
- Consultants
- Advertising specialists of all types, including web and graphic designers
- Appraisers
- Service providers such as ISPs, home inspection, janitorial, building contractors, etc.
- Financial services, ranging from mortgage brokering to financial consulting
- Professional services, including attorneys, dentists, doctors and chiropractors
The cost of E & O insurance varies widely according to geographic location and industry. There is great competition between providers, however, so it's easy to receive cost comparisons and detailed policy information.
E & O insurance contracts contain specific information that protects you. Included should be:
- Dollar amount per occurrence of liability (limits of liability).
- Statement of deductible amount per occurrence for liability (dollar amount of claims) and deductible amount for defense costs.
- A section stating something to the effect of: "This policy applies to errors, omissions or negligent acts in the course of providing or failing to provide professional services."
- A section stating the services you provide.
- The retroactive date for claims.
Most attorneys would agree that one of the best ways to limit the amount of claims – and your liability in general – is to design a contract along with your client that expressly defines each of your specific, individual responsibilities [in the matter]. [It is also strongly suggested that you] consult with your attorney and insurance agent in this regard.
I am working with a client and her designer. The designer recently mentioned a trend toward using taller islands, or European height-islands at 39" or so.
Has anyone heard of this trend? I had not heard of this trend before. If anyone has done this, how do you find stools that allow for this height? I know stools come in standard 24" and 30" heights, but what about 27"?
I have worked with a couple of customers who have had me raise their island to 42" high and they love it. I believe that the allure of this height is that it is a more comfortable height for people – especially taller people.
Susan, it could be because one of the European trends is to have a thick, square-edged countertop – 3" or larger – which makes for the overall height difference.
I've done some counters from 39"-42", depending on the client's height, but had to watch how to handle the treatment, especially for the appliances.
Holland Barstool does custom heights in wood and metal barstools. I have used them in my personal kitchen and it has worked out well.
We have at least of dozen of those in our showroom and they are built like tanks. It's a very durable stool.

Gothenburg is an attractive green city, with a large number of sights, restaurants and cafés. The best time to visit is during spring.
Gothenburg, which is Sweden's most European city, was founded in 1621 by European immigrants. Just like Venice, Bruges and St Petersburg, Gothenburg was built on a network of canals. The large number of canals have been left over from the time of Dutch rule. Water is important for the city, since Gothenburg's harbour is the biggest in Sweden.
The view is magnificent from Alsvborgsbron Bridge, which links the city centre with Hisingen, one of Sweden's biggest islands. Liseberg amusement park is worth a visit, especially with children. Other sights include the Gothia Towers and the statue of Karl IV Gustav, the founder of Gothenburg.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Construction spending rose 1.4 percent to an annual rate of $872.1 billion in the most recent report released on December 3rd. Private residential spending rose by 3 percent in October. Home building is expected to add to economic growth this year for the first time since 2005, though it is not nearly as strong as it was before the recession of 2007-2009.We are still getting some mixed messages from the home-building sector; new home sales fell in October by 0.3 percent to a 368,000 annual rate while the numbers for September were revised downward from 389,000 to 369,000.Small investors can participate in a housing rebound even if they already own a home or are not in a position to purchase one. There is an exchange traded fund that represents the homebuilder's index. This year it has already had a gain of more than 50 percent. The homebuilder's index consists of stocks from across the industry. Some of them are in the new home construction business and others in businesses that support homebuilding. Whirlpool is a component and they are in the business of making and installing appliances like dishwashers and washing machines. Lowe's is another well known name that is in the retail hardware and construction supply business.Another way to invest in real estate is through the real estate index exchange traded fund. The real estate index fund is broadly diversified across the real estate sector and includes exposure to international real estate. The index consists of companies that own office space, shopping malls, senior housing and even towers for cellular communication.Many of these stocks are set up as real estate investment trusts, known as REITs which have some tax advantages over common stocks. The current dividend yield of the real estate index ETF is 3.43 percent, which is respectable in today's record low interest rate environment. Year to date the real estate index is up over 15 percent.There are forecasters who are saying that the housing rebound could already be peaking because the gains were due to pent up demand that has already been filled. However, most economists see the housing rebound as continuing for several reasons including record low interest rates. Fed chairman Ben Bernanke has stated that the central bank will take action to speed growth, including the loosening of tight lending rules. In spite of the recent bubble, over the long term real estate is still one investment that has kept pace with inflation.Kenneth Roberts is a Truckee based Registered Investment Advisor.
