TEL AVIV, Israel —
I went to synagogue Saturday not far from the Syrian border in Antakya, Turkey. It's been on my mind ever since.
Antakya is home to a tiny Jewish community, which still gathers for holidays at the little Sephardic synagogue. It is also famous for its mosaic of mosques and Orthodox, Catholic, Armenian and Protestant churches. How could it be that I could go to synagogue in Turkey on Saturday while on Friday, just across the Orontes River in Syria, I had visited with Sunni Free Syrian Army rebels embroiled in a civil war in which Syrian Alawites and Sunnis are killing each other on the basis of their ID cards, Kurds are creating their own enclave, Christians are hiding and the Jews are long gone?
For me, it raises the question of whether there are just three governing options in the Middle East today: Iron Empires, Iron Fists or Iron Domes?
The reason that majorities and minorities co-existed relatively harmoniously for some 400 years when the Arab world was ruled by the Turkish Ottomans from Istanbul was because the Sunni Ottomans, with their Iron Empire, monopolized politics. While there were exceptions, generally speaking the Ottomans and their local representatives were in charge in cities like Damascus, Antakya and Baghdad. Minorities, like Alawites, Shiites, Christians and Jews, though second-class citizens, did not have to worry that they'd be harmed if they did not rule. The Ottomans had a live-and-let-live mentality toward their subjects.
When Britain and France carved up the Ottoman Empire in the Arab East, they forged the various Ottoman provinces into states — with names like Iraq, Jordan and Syria — that did not correspond to the ethnographic map. So Sunnis, Shiites, Alawites, Christians, Druze, Turkmen, Kurds and Jews found themselves trapped together inside national boundaries that were drawn to suit the interests of the British and French. Those colonial powers kept everyone in check. But once they withdrew, and these countries became independent, the contests for power began, and minorities were exposed. Finally, in the late 1960s and 1970s, we saw the emergence of a class of Arab dictators and monarchs who perfected Iron Fists (and multiple intelligence agencies) to decisively seize power for their sect or tribe.
In Syria, under the Assad family's iron fist, the Alawite minority came to rule over a Sunni majority, and in Iraq, under Saddam's iron fist, a Sunni minority came to rule over a Shiite majority. But these countries never tried to build real "citizens" who could share and peacefully rotate in power. So what you are seeing today in the Arab awakening countries — Syria, Iraq, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Yemen — is what happens when there is no Iron Empire and the people rise up against the iron fists.
Israelis have responded to the collapse of Arab iron fists around them — including the rise of militias with missiles in Lebanon and Gaza — with a third model. It is the wall Israel built around itself to seal off the West Bank coupled with its Iron Dome anti- missile system. The wall plus the dome are enabling Israel's leaders to abdicate their responsibility for thinking creatively about a resolution of their own majority-minority problem with the Palestinians.
I am stunned at what I see here politically. On the right, in the Likud Party, the old leadership that was at least connected with the world is being swept aside in the latest primary by a rising group of far-right settler-activists who are convinced that Palestinians are no threat anymore and that no one can roll back the 350,000 Jews living in the West Bank. The far-right group running Israel today is so arrogant, and so indifferent to U.S. concerns, that it announced plans to build a huge block of settlements in the heart of the West Bank — in retaliation for the U.N. vote giving Palestinians observer status — even though the U.S. did everything possible to block that vote and the settlements would sever any possibility of a contiguous Palestinian state.
I am glad that the wall and the Iron Dome are sheltering Israelis from enemies who wish to do them ill, but I fear the wall and the Iron Dome are also blinding them from truths they still badly need to face.

Slain N.Y. officer possibly mistaken for suspect
Ridley was not in uniform and was out of his jurisdiction
The Associated Press
Mount Vernon Officer Christopher Ridley, 23, was trying to make an arrest outside a Westchester County government complex shortly before 5 p.m. Friday when officers from a different department spotted him, and, under circumstances that remain unclear, opened fire and killed him.
Ridley was not in uniform and was out of his jurisdiction, but White Plains Public Safety Commissioner Frank Straub said yesterday that the young officer had witnessed a violent assault taking place and rushed to break up the fight.
He was struggling with the 39-year-old suspect when Westchester County police officers came upon the fray. Witnesses told reporters that the officers ordered Ridley to drop his gun, then shot him when he didn't immediately comply.
The shooting happened just as the streets began to fill with people leaving work.
Yesterday, Straub and other police officials refused to discuss the details of the shooting and wouldn't say what prompted the county officers to shoot, how many of them shot, or how many shots were fired.
The president of the police union in Mount Vernon, Kevin Mandel, said Ridley "couldn't have done anything wrong," and praised him as a hero for trying to break up the assault.
Mount Vernon Police Commissioner David E. Chong called the slain officer "a quiet and kind soul," and said he was confident the White Plains Police Department - which operates independently from the Westchester County department - would conduct an impartial investigation.

Petrified Trees, Yellowstone National Park
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
A short walk near Tower junction are some petrified trees. Cool - trees that are so old they are now rocks (how many years ago were they trees I wonder?). Not insignificant sized trees either.
I did an internet search on the petrified trees of Yellowstone, and there are many discussions on the trees. Topics like how is it that they are standing upright, is it associated with the Noah's flood, etc. etc.
The petrified tree in Yellowstone is located near the Mammoth Hot Springs area. They were Petrified in the Eocene times about 50 million years ago. Volcanic eruptions in the Yellowstone Caldera created lava and ash flows which surrounded the redwood forests. The abundance of silica in the ash and lava choked the trees and as the process goes, silica basically replaced the living cells of the tree trunk. That these trees were redwoods tell researchers that the area was much wetter in the times when they were formed as the drier climate that is now experienced in Yellowstone would not likely support the needs of a redwood.
These petrified stumps are fragile and their once were 3 stumps that stood on the hillside nearby. The other two stumps were chipped away and taken as souvenirs by thoughtless park visitors who did not realize that their actions were actually destroying the irreplaceable attractions. When you visit the petrified tree today you will find a large fence around it. The fence is to prevent visitors from doing to the last stump what was done to the other 2 and chip away at its facade.
For more petrified tree viewing the hillside of Specimen Ridge contains an entire petrified forest overlooking the Lamar Valley.
This site is sort of a tease. It's on the map, just north of Tower-Roosevelt. You take a short spur road to get to the parking area, and from there, it's another short trip up a small paved trail to see what amounts to little more than a stump of a petrified tree behind a fenced in area. Sadly, the fence is necessary to protect it from collectors. Apparently there used to be other petrified trees here, but they were picked apart by park visitors who took the pieces home as souvenirs (a sad story played out to an even larger degree at Petrified Forest National Park.) If you have time, stop by, but if not, you can pass this one up.
Coming from Mammoth junction and heading towards Tower, about a km before there is a spur road south (on the right) that leads up to a short trail to this petrified tree. This is the last tree here out of a set of three, now behind a fence as thoughtless souvenir hunters have removed all that was remaining of the other two. This tree was fossilized after being smothered in volcanic ash.

Excl: British Horror Film Festival Event ReportDeth_Banger
This past Saturday (October 30th) I made my way down to Bournemouth, England to the Pier Theatre for the first ever British Horror Film Festival which is part of many festivals provided by the independently run Film Festival Guild.
With the theatre situated on the end of the pier and the waves battering beneath us and with the sky turning black, the setting was perfect for what was an awesome night of horror. Also upon arrival we was greeted with a glass of blood, well red wine. I had to have Ribena unfortunately, but I drunk it like a man!
With A Serbian Film being pulled I was disappointed not being able to pick the brains of the director Srdan Spasojevic who brought us one of the most controversial films of our time. But nevertheless the festival had a replacement being Christopher Smith's Black Death which star's Sean Bean and this was the film to kick start our afternoon/night of horror.
Unfortunately no-one from the film could make it down to the festival but the film was still screened for us all to enjoy. Now being a fan of Christopher Smith's earlier work such as Creep, Severance and Triangle I was looking forward to see what he would bring us this time.
This is a totally different setting than anything Smith has given us before as he takes us into the dark ages during the 14th century when the bubonic plague first breaks out. the film deals heavily in religion and instantly shouts out 'The Wicker Man' with scenes of paganism and characters spiralling into delusions. The film plays more to the genre of a mystery/chiller than a horror/thriller but there are some gory scenes to be had but it didn't feel like a Christopher Smith film to me, but that being said the film wasn't bad I was just left feeling I wanted more.
After a short interlude, began the screenings of short and student horror films including:
Mutantland and Poltergeist
Short Lease and Smiley
The Snatching
Waste Disposal
By a Hair
The Travelling Artist
The Necronomicon
Nursery Crimes
If you get a chance you should check out these if they become available online, unfortunately I can't find any online yet but if/when they do I'll be sure to give you guys the heads up as some of these where epic.
Such as Mutant Land which is a full CG short set in a post apocalyptic future with grasshoppers as big as you or me, I just thought it was well done and had some awesome action scenes.
Also The Snatching which is a short from some homegrown talent at Bournemouth University which is about three children that were snatched from their tents on a family camping trip in Wood Creek, but their bodies were never found. Six year's later that snatching happens again. I though it was well produced the effects could use some work but it was well put together, definitely worth a look.
There is also Poltergeist which almost plays out like a surreal music videos with some vivid and wacky images of what I can only guess was demons that was stalking a young girl, but it was really cool.
Young talent is exploding at the seems and hopefully an investor or producer will pick up some these and help further there passion, good stuff!
Then we had John V Soto's Needle play for us, which is one of the most unique horror films I've seen in recent years. Although it takes elements from films like Final Destination, Saw or even Hellraiser, it creates something original with it's main killer being an 18th century machine.
This was awesome the film looks so good, it was made for about $3million but it looks like it was made for so much more and the film plays out like a murder/mystery and has you guessing who the killer is right until the very end. Also the special f/x team did an awesome job with the gore scenes and explains why the film won Best Special F/X at the U.S. Screamfest.
Anyway after the film I had the chance to catch up with the director John V Soto and asked him what was the inspiration behind the box?
John V Soto "If you have ever watched anything like Agatha Christie or C.S.I. There is that human element, but with a machine you cannot track the killer, there is no human forensics."
"There was many variations of the machine, it actually began as a monster... No-one really uses voodoo, so we incorporated that into the machine"
He also went on to talk about the difficulties of getting distribution these days.
John V Soto "Distributors are always looking for that big name, they often ask, do you have Brad Pitt? is John Travolta in this? Well f**k no! So it can be hard finding distribution"
John V Soto went on to talk about his favorite films.
"Well I don't like romantic films, but my favorite films are, Blade Runner, The Thing, Halloween, Alien... Just sci-fi, horror/thriller"
John is a really laid back guy and I can't wait to see what future projects he has install for us, as Needle was brilliant.
After a short break we had Nick Cohen's Voodoo Lagoon screen for us all which follows a group of teens who book a dream holiday to a tropical island, unknowing to them that the have all been lured there by the island's evil owner trying to fulfill some ancient voodoo prophecy. The teens soon start seeing and hearing things and slowly turn on each other. The film uses there fears against them, but at times it seemed like a good idea but just seemed a bit poorly executed and I often found myself confused as to what was happening.
Unfortunately the director Nick Cohen couldn't make it but the producer David Cohen was on hand to talk about the film.
"The film was made for about $500,000 in Australia, and to get actors on a low budget film such as John Noble, you need to enthuse them them to come aboard. They are actors, they like making films."
"Some of the scenes was actually shot in my bathroom... And then on to Zanzibar"
"The Script could have been a bit better."
David Cohen went on to talk about the importance of a script.
"You need to get the script right, Hitchcock was the master... Getting the script right, that's 60% of the way there already."
If you are trying to break into the film making business, David Cohen would be the guy to talk to, very insightful and a fountain of knowledge.
The last film of the evening was Mark McQueen's Devil's Playground starring Danny Dyer. Devil's Playground I thought was really well done, I usually give Danny Dyer a hard time but I have to give credit where it is due, he did an awesome job.
I like the fact that Mark McQueen took inspiration from 28 Days Later and used the crazy running zombies, as they are insane. I personally prefer the George A. Romero ones but you can't deny the running runs are just mental! Anyway the film has a similar story to Resident Evil where they try out an experimental drug but it turns the patients into the crazy zombies. One of the patients seems to be unaffected by the drug and the search begins to find her as she could be the cure.
But they take that utilize it there way, I mean there isn't much left that can be done with the zombie genre and I don't mind seeing the same things again, just as long as they are as good of if not better than the original conception.
Everyone involved did an awesome job and there are some brutal scenes to be had, which is always good and everyone in attendance loved it at the screening, I was hearing good things from people who viewed it, so they did an awesome job.
After the screening the director Mark McQueen and writer Bart Ruspoli spoke about the film.
Bart Ruspoli "I'm a fan of the Dawn of the Dead remake, so we used free runners as our zombies. It is influenced by 28 Days Later but at the same time we tried to stay away from that. They introduced us to the running zombie so it's hard not to use that."
Mark McQueen "We filmed this in the city (London) at the weekend, when no-one was around. We shot it on the Sony M-35 in just over 25 days... Really tight schedule, if it rained we would just have to shoot.... Luckily it didn't."
They then went on to talk about the possibility of a sequel.
Bart Ruspoli "The sequel depends how this one does. If you want a sequel buy the DVD!"
"The sequel would involve a separate group of people during the same time period who meet up with the survivors of the first."
Mark McQueen "The sequel should be based around Sean Pertwee and his moustache... People seem to like that.."
Mark McQueen received a text message from Danny Dyer regarding the upcoming awards, as he was unable to be here at the festival due to other commitments. Mark McQueen read out the text message in his best cockney impression of Danny Dyer.
"Fingers cross son if I nick it, I'm a massive fan of horror, if I wasn't stuck in f**king Blackpool!"
It was a good impression I thought, anyway after that it was time for the awards ceremony and the winners were:
Best Short Film:
Mutant Land
Best Student Film:
Best Producer:
Bart Ruspoli (Devil's Playground)
Best Actor:
Danny Dyer (Devil's Playground)
Best Actress:
Marysia Kay (Short Lease)
Best Cinematography:
Best Special F/X:
Best Supporting Actor:
John Noble (Voodoo Lagoon)
Best Supporting Actress:
Jessica Marais (Needle)
British Horror Award:
Short Lease
Best Director:
Mark McQueen (Devil's Playground)
Best Unproduced Screening:
Best Feature Film:
Devil's Playground
So that was it, the end of an awesome festival, a great night of horror cinema and championing undiscovered and up and coming talent, a awesome night.
I need to say a big thank you to the festival director Stuart Brennan, festival manager Jacqueline Cockerill and everyone that helped put the festival together and get it run so smoothly. Let's hope this continues for many years to come and see the British Horror Film Festival grow.

BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) -- A 10-year-old girl in a Christmas parade has died after Texas police say she jumped off a float and was run over by a trailer.
Beaumont police supervisor Monica Smith says the girl had been told to stop jumping on and off the float during the popular annual parade Saturday. Smith says the girl fell and hit her head before being struck.
The girl was taken to a hospital with severe head injuries and pronounced dead.
Authorities say the accident happened toward the end of the parade.
Earlier this week, 10 members of a Cub Scout troop were injured in a Christmas parade in Overton when they were struck by a pickup truck. The 82-year-old driver was charged with reckless driving.

She guesses about one-in-five patients she sees receive help they might not otherwise have gotten thanks to the University of Nevada School of Medicine program, which pairs rural care providers with specialists in Reno through video conferencing and has potential to boost the economy.
Examples of cases where Project ECHO was instrumental for Pyles-Sweet included a woman with a severe urinary tract infection for which the normal treatments weren't working, a girl with a displaced ...

Bart Skils - Shadowprint EP - Drumcode - DC126
Bart Skils returns to Drumcode with his third solo release, 'Shadowprint'. Consisting of Bart's famous rolling drums and bass rhythms he has crafted an EP that is exceptionally functional. With each track Bart has added character by introducing vocals, interesting melodies and deep percussion to keep it interesting. The EP is made up of 3 peak time tracks that are eloquently put together. 'My Part Of Town' is a bit deeper from Bart and contrast's well to the rest of the EP with it's melodic bass line.

Piedmont Office Realty purchases Class-A office property in TX, sells AZ asset
Piedmont Office Realty Trust announced that it completed two transactions at year end. First, it purchased 161 Corporate Center, a Class-A office building in Irving, TX on December 30, 2013. On the same day, Piedmont closed on the sale of 8700 South Price Road in Tempe, AZ. The acquisition of the high quality Texas asset closely follows Piedmont's recent purchases of two other properties in the Dallas market, including 6565 MacArthur Boulevard, which is also located in Las Colinas. The sale of 8700 Price Road, a 132,070 square foot office property, was part of the company's ongoing strategy of recycling capital into its concentration and opportunistic markets. The property is 100% leased to Avnet and is located on a ground lease in the Arizona State University Research Park in Tempe, AZ. The sale price was $21.5M.

|Como - Lyon County
|We Visited: 9/18/2004, 9/24/2006
Our Dinner: MRE's at the Stone Cabin
|Location 39° 10' 21"N, 119° 28' 36"W USGS Como Quad
Directions: 10 miles west on US 50 to the junction of US 50 and US 50A; 41.4 miles west on US 50 to the junction of US 50 and Dayton Valley Rd. in Dayton; 0.9 miles east on Dayton Valley Rd to the junction of Old Como Rd.; 10.5 rocky miles SW on Old Como Rd. to Como
From Fallon: 62.8 miles
What Was
A mining district was established in the area after gold discoveries in 1861 . A canp was born- Palmyra- and by the fall there were 100 miners in the area. By 1861 population had quadrupled and a post office was established. Eventually, discoveries a half mile to the east resulted in the camp of Como, and Palmyra suffered. In 1864 a mill was built to the southeast, and quickly shut down. The town languished as ore ran out, although there were brief revivals in 1879 and 1902 that lasted two or three years each. Another large mill was built in the 1930's- it, too, quickly shut down after they discovered there was no ore to process. Talk about the need to get a business plan.
What is
If there is a more rock-studded road in all of Nevada, you would be hard pressed to find it. Football-sized and half-buried, they litter almost every foot of the ten miles up to the site of Como. While the traction of 4WD isn't helpful, the ground clearance certainly is, and the suspension more so. Even on ATV's it's a little jarring,and you have to be on constant lookout for rocks. Luis's sprocket protector took a beating on this trip, and the welds on my auxiliary rack snapped off.
If you're looking for a lot of ruins you'll be disappointed, since Como really has the remains of only one standing building. However, upon closer inspection you can see that there are several building sites, a few of which use the same greenish stone as the the standing building; pits in the same general vicinity indicate the sites of other buildings. Most of the mines in the area are shafts that go straight down, so be careful.
There are lots of roads in the area and prospecting has been going on for quite some time. Around Palmyra is a road the goes north for a while and there is an incredible amount of trash in the form of cans, glass, and pottery. Evidently some kind of activity took place along a half mile of this road. Also, about 4 road miles to the SE there are the remains of four stone cabins. What this collection of buildings was (stage stop between Como and Fort Churchill, perhaps?) remains a mystery to us.
UPDATE: A recent fire has cleared some brush on an acre or two in the area of the townsite. Many artifacts are revealed which were once hidden, grasshopper! Rocks are still there, although a grader took a swipe at the road. We found en even rockier road- the powerline road from Como east to Churchill Canyon.
The only building still standing in Como

The volume includes 18 articles by leading university, U.S. government, and industry researchers, including three authored or co-authored by Dr. Roger Proksch of Asylum Research, the technology leader in scanning probe/atomic force microscopy (AFM/SPM). Recent research has produced remarkable progress in the development of scanning probe microscopy and this new book is expected to become a seminal work in the field.
Commented author and President of Asylum Research, Roger Proksch, "This new book includes papers on a broad range of new techniques that extend the functionality of SPMs and is an excellent overview for readers interested in quickly getting up to speed on the latest developments. I am delighted to be an author on three of the papers, which illustrate some of the exciting new capabilities we have incorporated into our MFP-3D and Cypher AFMs, including Band Excitation, Dual AC Resonance Tracking (DART), Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM), and Ztherm modulated thermal analysis."
"SPM has truly become a key characterization tool, not just for selected scientific disciplines, but for the field of nanoscience and technology in general," notes Alexei Gruverman, co-editor of the book and Associate Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. "This book presents a snapshot of the most advanced modes of this continuously evolving technique describing nanoscale studies of a variety of functional materials such as complex oxides, biopolymers, and semiconductors."
"One of the central tasks of this book is to provide an overview of recent developments in emerging fields of SPM, such as nanoscale thermal analysis, band excitation, chemical imaging using mass-spectrometric detection, as well as exotic combinations of SPM and focused X-ray methods, to name a few," added Sergei Kalinin, co-editor of the book and Senior Staff Member at Oak Ridge Center for Nanophase materials. "The unique aspect of this book is a strong representation of the leading SPM companies with their cutting-edge research and SPM developments that are now becoming available in academic, government, and industrial labs as well as techniques just emerging in leading research labs worldwide."

Vitera Healthcare Solutions announced the results of its EHR Solutions and Mobile Technologies Study. The Tampa-based Healthcare IT provider surveyed doctors, executives and practice managers to identify how they currently use mobile technologies and how they intend to use them in the future.
The study found that while 72% of surveyed healthcare professionals already use their mobile device for work purposes, only 6% are currently using their devices to connect to their electronic health records (EHR) or to e-prescribe. However, the majority of respondents are interested in a mobile EHR solution, with physicians being the most interested (91%), followed by practice administrators (66%) and billing managers (43%).
"Healthcare professionals are embracing the convenience of mobile technology to handle a number of work tasks, but want to expand this ability by having a mobile EHR solution," said Matthew Hawkins, CEO of Vitera Healthcare Solutions. "In the same manner that other professionals are able to enjoy the benefits of their mobile device as an office on-the-go, practice physicians, executives and managers are looking for the same accessibility to provide more efficient care for their patients."
Survey results showed that the key features respondents are looking for in a mobile EHR solution are the ability to review (93%) and update (87%) a patient's chart and order prescriptions (86%).
Other Key Findings:
Respondents presently use their mobile device to email, phone, text or send other communications (55%), perform medical research on the go (20%) and as a remote desktop solution (14%). The ability to document a patient's encounter (82%) and out-of-office activities (67%) are other elements surveyed professionals are looking for in a mobile EHR solution. The most popular mobile devices respondents use are iPhones (60%), iPads (45%) and Android smartphones (38%).

Correct usage
Dear David Inman: While watching the movie "The Help," I noticed that while Skeeter is typing up the newsletter and changing the words to prompt toilet donations, she uses liquid White-Out to make the corrections. Is this not an anachronism? I am only 44, but I remember using correction paper before the advent of the word processor. - Laurie, Louisville
Dear Laurie: Well, maybe your family could afford highfalutin' correction paper, but Bette Nesmith Graham invented Liquid Paper in 1951, and by 1967, only a few years after the action in "The Help" takes place, it was a million-dollar-a-year business. (Wite-Out, a different type of correction fluid, was invented in 1966 by George Kloosterhouse, an insurance-company clerk.)
And yes, ladies and gentlemen, Bette Nesmith Graham was the mother of Mike Nesmith of The Monkees!

Checkpoint Systems' New RFID Label for all Apparel Categories Based Upon Latest NXP Chip for Accurate Counting, Quick Encoding
Hundreds of Thousands of Checkpoint Zephyr 2 RFID Labels In Pilot Program With Large European Retailer
ORLANDO – April 8, 2014 – Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CKP), a leading global supplier of merchandise availability solutions for the retail industry, today announced here at RFID Journal Live its new Zephyr 2 RFID label which is certified by the University of Arkansas' ARC Center for item-level tagging of all apparel categories in the U.S. and Europe.
The New Zephyr 2 RFID label design has an integrated UCODE 7 chip from NXP Semiconductors, and comes with optimal read/write sensitivity for accurate counting and quicker encoding. With a wide range of apparel applications, it is ideal for retailers deploying large-scale implementations. In an early indicator of the expected demand for Zephyr 2, pre-launch orders have already been placed for hundreds of thousands of these RFID labels to be used in pilot programs with a large European retailer this year.
The Zephyr 2, offered with a label size of 54x34mm, has been optimized for performance with all of Checkpoint's RFID solutions, including its RFID EAS Overhead Solution, the EVOLVE Exclusive E10 pedestal, and other Merchandise Visibility solutions. It has received certification from the University of Arkansas' ARC Center for Categories A (denim), B (polybagged apparel), C (boxed items) and D (hanging apparel) for use in North America, and Categories I (apparel) and K (apparel) for European apparel items. This will allow our customers to use the same tag globally across many categories, streamlining their source tagging operations.
"As international item-level RFID adoption continues to grow, it is crucial for retailers and brand owners to have access to 'global' RFID tags that can perform equally well in retailers across the world in various frequency ranges. Checkpoint's U7 Zephyr 2 is one of the first generation of these new global tagging solutions approved in multiple apparel and hardline categories for the US and Europe," said Justin Patton, RFID Research Center -- Managing Director University of Arkansas.
According to Umesh Cooduvalli, Checkpoint's senior director, RFID Consumables, "Major apparel retailers have expressed a strong interest in the capabilities that the Zephyr 2 offers, particularly those with broad apparel product lines with large-scale deployment needs. We're excited that this product is already being used in RFID pilots and we look forward to scaling up supply for future deployments."

Spoiled milk, rotten vegetables and moldy bread litter America's landfills at an enormous cost to consumers, the environment and hungry people in need of nourishing meals.

Americans tossed an estimated 133 billion pounds of food in 2010, roughly between 30 and 40 percent of the entire food supply, according to data compiled by the USDA. Food is the largest ...

The price will increase 15 cents to $2.35, and the tab for breakfast will go up by 5 cents
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Jan 29, 2011
The state Department of Education says it will raise school breakfast and lunch prices March 1, despite objections from the Board of Education.
The cost of a school lunch will go up by 15 cents to $2.35.
The price of breakfast will rise 5 cents, to $1.
The board voted 8-2 in November against a proposal to raise the prices, saying a law that requires the department to set prices at no less than half the cost of preparing the meals should be repealed and that any price increase would hurt families already struggling to make ends meet.
PRICE INCREASESEffective March 1, school meal prices will go up. The new prices:
» Student lunch: $2.35 (up 15 cents)
» Second student lunch: $4.70 (up 30 cents)
» Student breakfast: $1 (up 5 cents)
» Second student breakfast: $2 (up 10 cents)
Source: Department of Education
"The department re-examined the law that was passed and wanted to make sure that it was in compliance with the law," said spokeswoman Sandy Goya. "The law clearly states that the department must ensure the meal price is no less than half" the cost of preparing the meal.
The board said that parents should not be asked to pay any more.
"We just raised the meal prices," said Chairman Garrett Toguchi after the November vote. "The fee increases are really squeezing out the middle-income families, especially those with multiple kids."
Toguchi could not be reached last yesterday for comment.
The cost of a school lunch jumped in 2010 to $2.20 from $1.25; breakfast prices went to 95 cents from 35 cents; and school bus fares rose to 75 cents each way, from 35 cents. In January the cost of the A+ after-school program also rose by $25, to $80, for a family's first child.
Glenna Owens, department food services branch director, said the meal increases are the minimum needed to comply with the law. "When you look at our full cost ... that's what's required," she said.
Prices for other meals are also going up. For second or "subsequent" lunches, students will pay $4.70, or 30 cents more. Adult lunches will also go up 30 cents, to $4.70. The price of a reduced-cost lunch for low-income students will stay the same, at 40 cents. Students from the most disadvantaged families will continue to pay nothing for meals.

I just locked my replacement HD as I was told this was the correct thing to do. I locked using configmagic and reloaded my dash. everything fine. I switched off then back on again. error code 8. Switched off & on again. Worked fine. Tried loaded something from a dvd & it froze (locking my hd was the 1st step in solving a freezing problem). I restarted and I now keep getting this error 08 code.
I have a slayer bootdisc that I thought I may get to and then unlock, my way of thinking is that if it worked unlocked and now locked, it doesn't, then the obvious solution is to unlock the drive again. But I can't because of this 08 error
Have I messed up my xbox now, or is there some way to salvage this?

error 8 means harddrive not found, make sure its getting power and the ide cable is connected right, it could just mean that ur harddrive is starting to see its last days
Posted 20 June 2005 - 06:22 PM
it has been working fine before, it just wouldn't load up chip disabled & showed an 05 error. I was told this meant I had to lock the HD, which I did and now I get this 08 error
I just threw in an evo-x boot disc and that one worked fine. I just don't want to unlock the hd if it messes everything up, well more than it is now anyway

Unlocking the hdd will have no adverse effect, other than not being able to boot the msdash using the retail bios.

The cinematic equivalent of a half case of Red Bull chased with donuts, Kick-Ass is a giddy, violent experience--and not your average superhero movie. Based on the comic book by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., it offers a set of heroes who are decidedly without superpowers: Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) decides he'll be just like a comic-book character, and puts on a ridiculous green suit to fight crime as the mysterious Kick-Ass. Luckily, somebody else had the same idea and comes along to rescue the incompetent crusader: Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and his daughter Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz), who also happen to be running around town wearing masks and vanquishing evil. And here we have the movie's masterstroke: Hit Girl, a pint-sized preteen who slaughters bad guys and swears like a sailor on leave (and was the focus of a measure of controversy when the movie was released). The main target of our heroes is a gangster (Mark Strong, Sherlock Holmes), whose neglected son (Christopher Mintz-Plasse, McLovin from Superbad) figures he might just pull on a costume himself and become… Red Mist! (One of the many funny things about Kick-Ass is that the superhero names are hopelessly lame.) Director Matthew Vaughn is operating at the same glib level as his Layer Cake, with cutesy song cues galore and a freewheeling appetite for cartoon violence. This means the movie's high wears off quickly, but it does get high--a crazy, hilarious (and by the way: decidedly R-rated) kick. All that, plus Nicolas Cage executes a deadly Adam West imitation when he pulls on his cape and cowl. That's entertainment. --Robert Horton

Earlier today, we looked at several Real Estate related charts.
One particular chart we looked at from Northern Trust showed the percentage of net worth
improvement Households derived from Real Estate. But it lacked historical context, and I mused that I would like to find out exactly how much these numbers
deviate from historical norms.
Amanda Mason of Northern Trust came to the rescue, and informed us of the specifics: The median from 1952 to 2005 has been 19.9%. Compare that to 2005′s 61.2%.
Wow! That is quite revealing as to how dependent Households have become on Real Estate for net increases in worth.
I updated Asha Banglore's chart with that new info from Amanda:
Reversion to the mean is cruel bitch, ain't she?
UPDATE June 13, 2006 6:41am
Interesting report from National City Mortgage on where the largest overvaluations can be found:
House Prices in America
Updated for the 1st Quarter of 2006
The short version is in a story by Marketwatch columnist Rex Nutting: More housing markets overvalued

17 Responses to "Real Estate Dependency of Households"
Thanks, Barry. what a powerful and creative chart. It would be interesting to see the pattern over a longer period with more data points to see what else we can learn about its variability over time.
That just means house prices are creating wealth. What matters is how people are changing their behavior as a result. Are people neglecting other means of building wealth because their house seems to be going up? What does the growth in net worth excluding home value and mortgage debt look like? If people were continuing to save just as much outside of housing, it would suggest that house prices dropping later would not be a big problem. Given that the savings rate has been negative for almost a year, it seems likely that people have actually been neglecting other forms of wealth building. This will make falling house prices a far bigger problem for the economy.
I know you hear these types of comments a lot but;
77.6% of 2003 household net worth was ex-RE.
54.2% 2004
38.8% 2005
Looks to me like a whole lot of household asset generation was ex-RE in a period of massive RE appreciation. More a case of massive returns masking really good returns otherwise.
I also don't see where cases of people "cashing out" of unreasonable RE appreciation and converting to other forms are considered. For every buyer there is a seller. My divestment of everything except personal use real estate over this exact period of time doesn't show up here as far as I can tell. The money was made in RE but the profits were taken and whomsoever has those assets now are leveraged as compared to my outright former ownership. Short form:
A cash neutral RE rental investment vs. $200k earning as much in conservative investments. To me they are current account equal. Future value entirely based upon home prices with a bias we all acknowledge. THere's also remodeling going on. The recent run up caused many of us to get overweighted in RE. I don't now and never wanted 61.2% of my returns from RE. I suspect as we replicate the Naz 2000 in RE 2006 your historical median will reassert itself.
Keep in mind all capital gains, RE and ex-RE are only the reflection of the enormous increase in supply of currency/debt vis a vis the supply of available investments, despite their strong growth, too.
Would you agree that as the availability of carry trade liquidity evaporated all bubble pricing will revert to the mean?
"Would you agree that as the availability of carry trade liquidity evaporated all bubble pricing will revert to the mean?"
Yes. Absolutely.
One thing that isn't talked about here is that when people realized a return on their RE (ie they sold their house), they generally bought a larger one with more debt. So on the balance sheet their assets have increased but nothing has been realized and won't be until the house is sold. So yes, Americans got balance sheet richer, but they haven't realized that income.
The same thing happened during the dot com boom. People got rich on the balance sheet, but it wasn't realized because nobody sold. And then it evaporated.
all capital gains, RE and ex-RE are only the reflection of the enormous increase in supply of currency/debt
No, not all cap gains are money supply. RE represents realization of idle assets, investments, changes in demographics & geographics & technology, inflation and trade value equivalence and internal money supply. Not just the last three.
I have no idea about "the availability of carry trade liquidity evaporat[ing] bubble pricing [reverting to] the mean." Inflation will erode dollar denominated assets. Recession will reduce sales prices. Wages will lag pressuring both. Demographics will adjust to all of the above. Markets will reflect everything eventually. Money will be made in the imperfections of all of the above. The only thing I feel is a sure thing is that owning housing as an investment in the next decade is probably a bad idea.
These charts have been great. I lived through the dot come era, being in the heart of silicon valley and having run one myself. (mine did not go bust and 5 years after selling it to a private company it still thrives. Acteva.com)
I however, was not exempt from getting sucked into much of the hype. After it was all over, I worked hard to understand how I could have been taken in. How I ended up buying stocks that intellectually I should have known were bad investments. I realized that a big part of it is that it is human nature. That a bubble is a bubble because of the human psyche and that is the very same force that will eventually deflate that bubble.
That I could talk myself into suspending the basic laws of economics, capitalism and solid core invesment principles was at first a mystery yet, I can not deny that I did it. So, I swore that I would pinch myself on a regular basis from then on and make sure that I stayed rational.
I have been paying very close attention to the housing market for over 2 years now ever since I pinched myself and realized that it had bubble characteristics.
I agree with Ritholz and think that this is about to play out. If so then my pinching has paid off :)
I am also learning how powerful these forces are. I have had discussions now with dozens of friends and peers and am amazed at how much resistance there is to even consider my points. Basic quantifiers are being dismissed with the wave a hand if they do not support the precept that real estate is the last great wealth builder.
Each person I have this discussion with will admit that there is a possibility of a slowdown coming for many parts of the nation but will defend their own locality to the death!
Of course that becomes an adsurdity when these conversations are held with people from over 20 different geographical locations all pointing at each others markets as the weak ones. I think this is more proof of concept for the bubble thoery.
Thanks to this blog for trying to post good solid data on the subject.
The internet, housing, commodities, and emerging market bubbles are all related.
These are commonly seen in the broad context of a deflationary environment, which has been in place since around 1980.
Deflationary periods share certain characteristics, especially the introduction of new labor forces, globalization, and rapid technological innovation. These were present during most of the 19th century, another deflationary period marked by a series asset class bubbles.
And the deflationary 19th century roller coaster led to the gilded age, tariff walls, and the rise of fascism.
Of course, history never repeats …
«Of course, history never repeats …»
Someone famous said that history does not repeat, but it rhymes…
"I lived through the dot come era, being in the heart of silicon valley and having run one myself."
I wasn't in the heart of Silicon Valley, but I owned a software company at the time too. It was terrible. All the dot com start ups were picking my staff off, one by one, for about $100K more than I was paying them.
By April of 2000 we were totally gutted.
I didn't get sucked in at all either. My phone would ring about twice a day and the question was always "Do you have a portal ?" "How many eyeballs does your site get ?" Totally ridiculous.
Time and time I tried to explain to these callers why we didn't have portal and why dot coms were doomed, but I doubt anyone listened.
I thought about investing in dot coms several times but it never made sense. Some of my friends thought I was nuts. In October of 1999 I had the option of making a big balloon payment ($20K) on a truck and trailer we had bought or buying stocks. I paid off the truck and trailer and we still have them. That is how much I thought of the dot com bubble at the time.
I sometimes wonder if we really learned anything from the dot com bubble. It was over so fast. People complained about losing money, but then not much else was said. The thing I always hear now is "don't ever buy an Internet stock", which isn't quite right. I guess maybe that is why RE is the new dot com bubble.
The most heartbreaking thing I saw was one of my employees being a Northern Telecom fanatic. It was at about $90 at the time. And then it started falling. Him and his father bought in all the way down. They were still buying at $42. I remember he came to work one day almost in tears. I think they sold at about $10. Actually, he had an accounting background. I always wondered how someone that was supposed to understand something about business could have been so blind.
Not that I don't make mistakes…
«The internet, housing, commodities, and emerging market bubbles are all related.
These are commonly seen in the broad context of a deflationary environment, which has been in place since around 1980.»
Uhmmm, uhmmm, as usual when I see "inflation" and also "deflation" mentioned I feel uneasy, and ask "of what?" because that matters a great deal.
My personal interpretation is that «Easy Al» for mostly political reasons (some of them patriotic) has created an environment where the price of money has gone down a lot for a long time. Too bad that manna from heaven cannot last forever…
If the price of money goes down, the price of some other things in terms of money must go up, and which ones depends on pricing power.
Pricing power has been highest for various asset categories, as they have become relatively scarcer.
Now real estate has been one of those, and it has overshot, simply because of momentum investing.
How will things adjust? Well, the big deal is that the home price/yearly wage ratio has become abnormally large, depressing fundamental demand for homes, and this can result in these outcomes:
* The ratio reverts to the mean (or rather lower) as house prices shrink. This happens if interest rates go up.
* The ratio reverts to the mean (or rather lower) as wages grow. This happens if interest rates stay low.
* First buyers etc. switch to rent, which stays cheap, and then landlords have to put up with rental income being a rather lower percentage of house value than usual. The market seizes up for a long time.
* First buyers etc. switch to rent, and rents revert to the mean by raising by the same amount as house prices, and then disposable income gets hit badly. The market seizes up for a long time.
Usually what happens is that shrinking nominal house prices are a political catastrophe, so the "inflation party" ensures that wages and other prices are allowed to grow until there is reversion to the mean in the house price/wage ratio.
My suspicion is that the fabulous "free money" era happened with the purpose of making a majority feel very happy and not worry about distasteful things like foreign wars and ballooning deficits.
If monthly payments shrink or grow slower than the value of the house ('Money for Nothing") the average middle class voter is so happy that little else matters…
«I have had discussions now with dozens of friends and peers and am amazed at how much resistance there is to even consider my points. Basic quantifiers are being dismissed with the wave a hand if they do not support the precept that real estate is the last great wealth builder.»
I remember seeing a really nice dotcom era cartoon where this guy does a presentation and the slide says:
"The market for inflated expectations will be worth *trillions*!"
«The thing I always hear now is "don't ever buy an Internet stock", which isn't quite right. I guess maybe that is why RE is the new dot com bubble.»
Well, yes indeed, because most investors first allocate their investment by asset class, and then within the asset class.
The traditional asset classes are stocks, bonds, houses, commercial property, and commodities.
Private investor normally only invest in stocks, houses or bonds; commercial property and commodities usually are more for professionals.
So the usual cycle is that investors pile into stocks because of huge "free" capital gains, and get burned, so they next pile into bricks because houses are "safe", and get burned, so they pile into bonds because at least they have a "guaranteed" income, and get burned, and the cycle repeats.
The reason why this cycle is resulting in huge bubbles, more than semi-normal peaks, is because there is so much free money sloshing around, after years of 1-2% nominal interest rates. Even now at 5% nominal the real interest rates are nugatory, or arguably negative.
If there is something I had never expected to see in my life was a 1% nominal discount rate in the USA…
The only (semi-good) reason that I can imagine for the Federal Reserve to do this is political, to keep all the voting and investing classes punch drunk happy even with a couple of (poorly run) wars going on and to keep the cost of funding the wars with t-bills as low as possible.
The statistics that Barry has shown and those I have pointed to have these two impressive : in 1994-5 something happens that causes PEs to start exploding, and in 2001-2002 the post boom collapse is halted and PEs stabilize at historically high levels.
If "Abraham" Bernanke has to offer sacrifice, as Barry seems very resignedly afraid of, bad news.
However my expectation is that instead of driving down inflated asset values via high interest rates, the politics of the situation are that adjustment will happen by driving up most prices until their historical relationships revert to mean.
The key point here is that why low wage earners have no political leverage, and thus have had to take significant compensation cuts over the years, house owners have massive political leverage, and they will not stand for falls in the value of their houses.
Also, all those foreign holders of t-bills have to be given a good cramdown, and deflation is exactly the wrong recipe for that.
«Private investor normally only invest in stocks, houses or bonds; commercial property and commodities usually are more for professionals.»
Well, I should have added: and as a special case, cash is also an "asset" of some sort that people can invest in.
Another worrying sign is that Warren Buffet and many companies have been investing in cash for years now. Evidently they expect the value of cash to go up (as expressed in other assets) or the value of other assets to go down.
Or perhaps it is just a defensive play: when the wars started, companies cut investment and costs and started accumulating cash, because war is a period of high uncertainty and peril.
Just bear in mind that houses are only worth as much as other people are willing to pay for them. The rapid acceleration of home prices may have appeared to inflate the value of real estate in most local markets. But if aspiring new homeowners can't afford to pay the new prices then the real estate market can't be sustained. Banks have supported this boom by offering more and more extravegant loan packages that took greater and greater risks. But now that they are beginning to tighten their criteria again, we may see prices fall solely because the retiring generation cannot find anyone capable of taking over their debt load.

Axelrod Won't 'Go on Tape About' Party Platform Omitting God or Jerusalem
2:35 PM, Sep 8, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
President Obama's top political adviser, David Axelrod, gave an interview to WNYC but refused to go on the record about the Democratic party plaform's omission of God and Jerusalem from this year's document. Bob Hennelly, the reporter conducting the interview, writes:
The interview is supposed to be a recap of the convention, but because of the ground rules, fails to address one of the most newsworthy aspects of the convention.
"The Charlotte airport was abuzz Friday, as David Axelrod, a senior Obama campaign advisor, was swarmed by out going Democratic delegates as they sought pictures with President Barack Obama's key strategist," WNYC writes.
"Axelrod was pleased with the convention and believed they built a case for a second term for President Obama. He sat down with WNYC's Bob Hennelly to talk about the convention and the economy, the issue that might be the biggest hurdle to re-election."

Had a great day out in trade last week. Along with Scottish salesman Les Somerville, photographer Ralph and I arrived in Edinburgh to capture some of the city's top restaurants and the people who run them for our next wine list. First stop, the legendary deli / restaurant Valvona and Crolla. Managing director Philip Contini greeted us with great warmth - saying 'feel free to arrange things as you want for pictures'. As well as an appetite-inducing selection of meats, oils and breads, V&C has one of the best wine ranges around, with a natural strength in Italy balanced by some great New World wines - especially from New Zealand. Next we drove down what Les informed us is known locally as 'the Michelin mile' - through Leith to the docks. Streets which were once the haunt of sailors (and what usually accompanies them) are now home to three Michelin starred restaurants.
The last of these is Tom's Kitchin, where the eponymous Tom and Michaela Kitchin have built up a reputation for stunning food in a funky and attractive setting. Tom has a dazzling Cv, having worked for both Pierre Kauffmann and Alain Ducasse amongst others prior to setting up the Kitchin to tremendous acclaim. Both Tom and Michaela were extremely accomodating (in fact everyone we met in Edinburgh was so helpful) and we also took some 'moody' pics of their Scottish sommelier Murray, with a glass of Lehmann's Margaret Semillon in hand. Then, from a Kitchin to a Kitching.
Paul Kitching left Juniper restaurant near Manchester 18 months ago to set up 21212 - an extraordinary 'restaurant with rooms' in a Georgian Royal Terrace with views all the way down to the Firth of Forth (where you could actually see the sunshine on Leith). Within six months of opening he had picked up a Michelin star. The decor is a magical mixture of classical, funky modern and unique - one entire wall of the drawing room is taken up by a blown up section of Carvaggio's Seven Works of Mercy. Paul is a true one-off, and taking pictures in his kitchen and dining room made us wish we had arrived nearer to dinner time! But we couldn't stay.
Next stop Divino Enoteca. Described as 'a round trip to Italy at a fraction of the price', it is an Aladdin's cave in an ancient building next to the law courts, packed with Enomatic machines, meaning that customers have a huge selection of wines to try by the glass. An adventurous listing policy also means you get to try wines you might not otherwise come across. For example Blauburgunder (Pinot Nero or Pinot Noir) from Colterenzio. You wouldn't immediately think of northern Italy when thinking Pinot Noir, but the example we tried from the machine at Divino tasted divine - especially with the dish of home-made meatballs we scoffed following the photos.
Our thanks to all the restaurateurs who gave up their time for us - we had a top day.
Ps The Enotria Roadshow tasting in Edinburgh is on Thursday 10 March.
