205 Facilities Pose High Risk Of Cancer To Residents, Data Say
June 9, 1989
By Douglas Jehl, Los Angeles Times Inquirer staff writer Marian Uhlman contributed to this article
Residents who live near 205 pollution-spewing industrial plants in 37 states may face more than a 1-in-1,000 chance of getting cancer from the emissions - far above the risk level regarded as acceptable by the Environmental Protection Agency, according to preliminary government data released by Rep. Henry Waxman (D., Calif.). However, EPA Administrator William K. Reilly warned that estimates for any particular plant or location might be severely flawed because the data were not intended to assess public-health risks at individual sites.
Pollutants Threaten Chester The Epa Has Found A High Risk To Residents From City Industries. It Promised Relief.
December 2, 1994
By Dan Hardy, INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT
An eight-month federal study of the danger posed by pollution in Chester has concluded that the health risks caused by environmental hazards are unacceptably high for virtually all residents. The Environmental Protection Agency study, which agency officials called the first of its kind in the United States, set about in early April to assess as many environmental risk factors to the population as possible. It was commissioned because of a clustering of environmentally hazardous industries in Chester and because of concerns that Chester's residents were the victims of "environmental racism.
Why High-risk Surgery Sometimes Makes Sense A Feisty Grandmother Looks Forward To Age 100
April 7, 1997
By Larry Atkins
My grandmother celebrated her 97th birthday this March. That's a pretty good accomplishment, but there are plenty of people who live until their 90s or even older. How many, though, have undergone and survived double-bypass heart surgery at age 95? Needless to say, she's a very strong woman. And she was fortunate to have doctors who believed in her strength and who weren't forced to assume that this high-risk operation wasn't worth doing or wasn't economically feasible merely because of her age. It's easy to talk about Medicare cuts or rationed health care when it's in the abstract.
Pa. submits plan for high-risk health insurance pool
June 3, 2010
By Stacey Burling, Inquirer Staff Writer
Pennsylvania's Insurance Department announced Wednesday that it had submitted a plan to achieve one of the provisions of the new national health-overhaul legislation: creation of a special insurance program for people who can't buy insurance because they're already sick. People with preexisting conditions such as heart disease, cancer, or major mental illness would be able to buy into the proposed high-risk insurance pool for about what healthy people would pay, up to $5,616 a year. The problem is that those payments, plus $160 million in federal funding through 2013, can provide insurance for only about 5,100 people in a state where 800,000 are uninsured.
Testing Aids Vaccine In Thailand Makes Medical And Ethical Sense A Population With A High Risk Of Aids Requires Fewer People To Be Tested In Order To Show A Preventive Effect From A Vaccine.
April 5, 1995
By Art Caplan
The United Nations World Health Organization has begun testing possible HIV vaccines, but partly because the first trials are in Thailand, the program is controversial. The need for a vaccine is especially pressing since the AIDS epidemic is exploding in many of the world's poorest nations. Yet many people say that testing vaccines in poor nations is unethical. They are wrong. Many of us still think of acquired immune deficiency syndrome as somehow peculiarly an American disease.
Stamp Out Ignorance About Aids Aids Is A Very Democratic Disease. Right Now It Affects Mostly Certain "High Risk" Groups, But Ignorance Threatens To Hasten Its Spread Throughout The Rest Of Our Society.
August 26, 1991
By ROBERT J. WEIL
The AIDS scare is back. This time it threatens to undo a decade of scientific investigation, public education, and social understanding. Recent reports of physicians with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), of potential transfer of virus to patients, and legislative fiat by the U.S. Senate to prevent and make criminal such transmission, have brought AIDS back into the public forum. These reports, however, serve less to educate than to obfuscate and tend more to promote fear than to inform.
Early Warning Test Now Offered To Check Fetuses In High-risk Pregnancies
April 19, 1987
By Shelly Phillips, Special to The Inquirer
He's just 2 1/2 inches long, with little fingers and a heartbeat that flickers on the ultrasound screen. He flip-flops around in his mother's womb, such a tiny being that she can't feel his movement. Yet, Virginia Connolly, 35, eagerly tracks her son's every turn. With the black and white pictures of the ultrasound screen, she quips, he'll have a photo album started even before birth. Through a procedure available in Chester County only at the Chester County Hospital, and performed by a team from the Pennsylvania Hospital, Connolly was reassured early in her pregnancy that her son would be born without genetic abnormalities.
Fish-oil capsules fail a test
May 10, 2013
By Marilynn Marchione, Associated Press
Eating fish is good for your heart, but taking fish-oil capsules does not help people at high risk of heart problems who are already taking medicines to prevent them, a large study in Italy found. The work makes clearer who does and does not benefit from taking supplements of the good oils found in fish such as salmon, tuna, and sardines. Previous studies have suggested that fish-oil capsules could lower heart risks in people with heart failure or who have already suffered a heart attack.
Regular Aids Blood Tests Urged
March 14, 1986
Daily News Wire Services
In a recommendation that could affect millions, the Public Health Service recommended yesterday that all people in high-risk groups undergo periodic blood tests to check for infection by the AIDS virus. While there remains no cure for AIDS, agency officials said, research over the past year shows that virtually all people in high-risk groups who repeatedly test positive to the blood test can infect others. Thus, they said, people with verified positive results can be counseled on how to avoid spreading the deadly disease to others, particularly sexual partners.
Strict N.J. vaccine law signed Doctors must refuse to give flu shots to people not in high-risk groups or risk $500 fines.
October 28, 2004
By Mitch Lipka INQUIRER TRENTON BUREAU
Health-care professionals in New Jersey could be fined $500 for giving the flu vaccine to someone not in a high-risk group, under an order expected to be issued as early as today. Gov. McGreevey yesterday signed a law directing the commissioner of the Department of Health and Senior Services to issue the order spelling out who can get the vaccine during this season's shortage. The order, which was being finalized yesterday, also would give the commissioner the power to redirect shipments of the vaccine to ensure it reaches those who need it most.

Flyers' Timonen eyeing return
January 22, 2015
BY FRANK SERAVALLI, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
SPECULATION around the Flyers is growing that defenseman Kimmo Timonen may return to the ice, after all, this season. Timonen, 39, who has been on injured reserve this season due to blood clots, has maintained he would rather retire with his skates on than shoes. So far, after days of deliberation, doctors have not yet told him, or the Flyers, that he cannot resume his career. The Flyers have consulted with multiple doctors and experts since CT scans revealed last Friday that one of the multiple blood clots discovered in his body in August has not yet been fully reabsorbed into his system.
Successful ex-cons STARs of Holder's visit
November 7, 2013
BY STEPHANIE FARR, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com, 215-854-4225
U.S. ATTORNEY General Eric Holder, who was in town to observe Philadelphia's Supervision to Aid Re-entry (STAR) program for ex-offenders, learned two new phrases in federal court yesterday: "boo lovin' " and "hugged up. " When U.S. District Judge L. Felipe Restrepo asked STAR participant Rashaan Bates why he had missed a recent probation meeting, Bates' response was: "I was boo lovin.' " When asked to clarify, Bates said: "I was hugged up," making...
Your Money: Expert calls Phila. high-risk but no bankruptcy candidate
July 31, 2013
By Erin E. Arvedlund, Inquirer Columnist
The Philadelphia region is home to some well-respected municipal-bond-investing experts, among them David Kotok, chief investment officer of Cumberland Advisors in Vineland, N.J., and Tom Kozlik, of Janney Montgomery Scott in Center City. We checked in with them to find out the skinny on investing in munis right now, after Detroit's bankruptcy filing sounded a wake-up call across the market. In recent days, Kotok has been advancing a war of words with the Cassandra of muni bonds, Meredith Whitney, who famously appeared on 60 Minutes in 2010 predicting an avalanche of bankruptcies across American cities.
Reprieve for in-home program for high-risk seniors
June 29, 2013
By Tom Avril, Inquirer Staff Writer
Federal officials granted an 18-month extension Thursday to a Doylestown program that has earned national attention for its efforts to keep chronically ill seniors out of the hospital. Health Quality Partners, a nonprofit that arranges for nurses to make periodic visits to the homes of 560 seniors in the suburbs and beyond, had been told in December that its federal funding would run out at the end of this month. But officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have changed course, saying the program deserved more time to show whether it had nailed the central challenge of 21st-century U.S. health care: improving quality while cutting costs.
New maps reduce high-risk areas at Shore
June 19, 2013
By Jacqueline L. Urgo, Inquirer Staff Writer
Updated preliminary flood maps issued Monday by the Federal Emergency Management Agency drastically reduce the area included in high-risk flood zones in three New Jersey Shore counties and one northern county - a move that has some homeowners sighing in relief. "This is wonderful news. . . . I can breathe a little easier now," said Brigantine resident Laurel Haeser, whose property overlooking a golf course had previously been included in the so-called V zone, or High Risk Velocity.

Thousands rally for climate
February 18, 2013
By Sandy Bauers, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
More than 500 people from the region joined thousands of protesters in Washington Sunday, calling for strong action on climate change and a stop to the Keystone XL pipeline. The pipeline would transport oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast. Opponents say it would worsen climate change by encouraging further development of the Tar Sands oil resource. They spent several hours in the bitter cold and a strong wind cheering, waving signs, listening to speakers and marching around the White House, although President Obama was in Florida for a golf game.
Discovery Labs CEO resigns
January 5, 2013
By David Sell, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Discovery Laboratories Inc., of Warrington, Bucks County, said Friday that W. Thomas Amick, 70, had resigned as chief executive officer and chairman of the board. John Cooper, 54, who was executive vice president and chief financial officer, will now serve as president, CFO and join the board of directors. After years of work, Discovery Labs got FDA approval in 2012 for Surfaxin, a medication to help prevent respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants who are at high risk of developing RDS. The company will begin selling that in the second quarter of 2013.

At least 112 killed in fire at Bangladesh factory
November 26, 2012
By Julhas Alam, Associated Press
DHAKA, Bangladesh - Fire raced through a garment factory that supplies major retailers in the West, killing at least 112 people, many of whom were trapped by the flames because the eight-story building lacked emergency exits, an official said Sunday. The blaze broke out late Saturday at a factory operated just outside Bangladesh's capital of Dhaka by Tazreen Fashions Ltd., a subsidiary of the Tuba Group, which makes products for Wal-Mart and other companies in the United States and Europe.

Nathalie Quezada got her first taste of football when, as a kid, she accompanied her older brothers to training. Discovering she had a flair for the beautiful game, the striker took up futsal so as to improve her technique, and went on to play for Universidad de Chile and present side Union La Calera, where she received her first international call-up.
Now, at 19, Quezada is the stand-out forward in her country's squad for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, which will begin in her native Chile on Wednesday. "We're a little nervous, of course, but also anxious to start playing and showing the public what we've been working towards for so long," the player told FIFA.com after a training session.
"The team have had a very intense 12 months and experienced some very good times as well as difficult ones. On the whole, though, we're delighted that a World Cup is being hosted here, and our job now is to do all we can so that things go well for us."
Under the leadership of Spanish coach Marta Tejedor, Las Rojitas have suffered some recent setbacks with friendly defeats to Argentina, Brazil and France, but a win over Uruguay means they are still hopeful of a good performance at Chile 2008. "The mood in the camp is a little subdued, but what we need to do now is just keep on working. They were only friendly games so it's not a major problem. Next week we'll be giving our all out on the pitch to show everyone what we're capable of," Quezada affirmed.
Chile's first task will be to try to come out of Group A, where they have been drawn alongside England, New Zealand and Nigeria. "We've already faced New Zealand and England so we have an idea about how they play. ," insisted the striker. "There's a lot of skill in this side and we control the ball well. On top of that we have a lot of fight in us," she adds.
Winds of change
Chile's hosting of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup is helping to change attitudes in a country where, until recently, football was almost exclusively a man's game. "Before, you would rarely see women playing football, but not anymore," explained the Ronaldinho fan.
"You see young girls enjoying a kick-about a lot more and many clubs now have women's teams. All that is being boosted by the World Cup, which gives [the sport here] another dimension. What we've experienced this year has been like a dream; we never imagined how much this event would help us achieve."
With her goal of one day playing in a top league overseas, Quezada knows that Chile 2008 is the ideal stage to showcase her marksmanship to the watching world. "I've been working on my scoring instincts," he said.
"With time and practice you learn, just like everything else I just want to give everything I've got and for people to have faith in me, because I'm going to have a good World Cup."

UPDATE: Nearly 3,000 without power across Shasta County
Winter weather has left more than 3,000 Pacific Gas and Electric Co. customers without power, the company reported.
Around 1,850 customers in Shingletown are without power this evening, PG&E reported around 6:20 p.m. Another outage has left 968 customers in Lakehead without power. Around 95 customers are without power in French Gulch.
The outages come as around 1,800 were without power around noon today.
PG&E spokesman Jason King said three outages in Shingletown have left nearly 1,100 customers without power along Highway 44 from the KOA campground east to the entrance of Lassen Volcanic National Park including Starlite Pines Road, Mountain Spring Acres, Viola, the Lake McCumber Road and Brokeoff Meadows Road.
The company has no estimate on restoration, King said.
Some 553 customers in the Lakehead area have also lost power, he said. Affected areas include Lower Salt Creek Road, Gilman Road and Upper Salt Creek Road on the north side of the McCloud arm of Lake Shasta.
Also affected are areas of North Shore Road, Antlers Road and Lakeshore Drive, King said. Power in some areas should be up by 5 p.m. while others may have to wait until 7 p.m. or longer, he said.
King said some 8,700 customers across the north state are without power.
Around 805 customers are without power in Siskiyou County. The Centers for Disease Control advise wearing layers of clothing, which help to keep in body heat. It also warns to avoid using gas heaters inside the home due to the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.

John Dowd, the lawyer who successfully defended John McCain during the Senate Ethics Committee investigation of the Keating Five scandal, spoke to reporters on a conference call earlier today. After a nearly two-year investigation, the committee exonerated McCain and Democratic senator John Glenn, who, it just so happens, spoke at an Obama rally yesterday.
Dowd emphasized that McCain fully cooperated with the investigation and went to great lengths to remain above reproach. McCain joined a meeting with regulators in order to make sure that his Arizona constituent, Charles Keating, was being treated fairly by federal regulators. McCain now says he agrees with the opinion of the ethics committee that he exercised "poor judgment" because a meeting with a group of senators could be viewed as intimidation by federal regulators.
Dowd said that when McCain "discovered that Keating was pushing too hard, he kicked him out of his office and cut off relations with him." Dowd suspects that the committee kept up its investigation for political reasons since McCain was the only Republican senator under investigation, calling it "a classic political smear job on John." A 1995 New York Times article concurs with that assessment:
During the Keating Five scandal, committee Democrats resisted dropping the case against John McCain, the Arizona Republican, because that would have left only Democrats accused of improper dealings with Charles Keating, the savings and loan executive.

At 5-9, Verrett will be a size disadvantage against many of the top receivers in the league. But he has superior technique and quickness that allows him to overcome his height deficiency. The Bengals, who seem to be constantly tweaking their secondary, will find a player like Verrett appealing. Team needs: CB; DL; OL

A resume is your chance to present all of the information that proves that you have the required skills and experience for the job. Writing an effective resume takes time - you need to ensure that you have included all the desired information clearly and concisely.
When writing your resume, remember that its purpose is to persuade an employer to consider you for the position over the other applicants. It is a compilation of your skills, achievements, employment history and personal interests, and provides the important first impression of you and your skills and experience.The difference between gaining an interview or not is approximately two minutes. That is the period of time it is estimated an employer will devote to reading a resume to decide whether to consider you further as a potential candidate. Having decided this, they will probably re-examine your resume in more detail, but it is this first impression that can make or break your initial application.
When writing your resume it is important to remember your objectives of making it clear and easy to read and understand quickly.Your prospective employer wants to read only information that is relevant to the position on offer, so think of your resume as a series of acts. Keep sentences short and list your most recent jobs first. Before you decide on the layout of your resume, do some research and prepare the content.Your resume should contain the following information about yourself:
It is essential to include contact details in your resume to enable interested employers to get in touch with you. They should include: Your full name Your residential and postal address Your contact phone Your email address
Make sure you tell employers who have filed your resume whenever your contact details change.
Make sure you include a list of your achievements – your accomplishments are an important selling point.
Your approach to supplying details of your employment history can vary depending on your situation – you could list your previous employers in chronological order, or you may choose to concentrate on job descriptions or the skills used or developed. This is the most important section of your resume, and you should focus on the following areas:
Think about your previous positions and the specific situations where your work or actions made a task simpler or easier or solved a problem. Did you save the company money, increase efficiency, identify or act quickly to deal with a problem? If you have been out of work for a longer period, you may find it difficult to think of example – if so, try talking to friends or ex-colleagues who may be able to help you. For this reason it is important to regularly update your resume so as to ensure that all details are correct and up-to-date.
You could also include details of your personal interests.When deciding what to include, try to ensure that information is relevant in some way to the position you are applying for. Do your interests exhibit an ongoing active interest in a relevant field, or demonstrate skills such as leadership, organisational ability or teamwork? Remember that an employer may be considering how you will fit into their team when reading your resume. It is inadvisable to mention your political or religious activities, and remember that a reader does not want to be overloaded with superfluous information– be selective about what you include.
Most employers will want to contact referees when they are seriously considering you for a position. If you supply the contact details of your referees in your resume, it is important to contact them to advise them that they may be contacted for references. It is also important that your referees are people who have worked with you and know your responsibilities and skill levels – a referee who can give a detailed response on your work and your abilities is better than someone very senior in the organisation who may not know you at all, or a personal referee who will be unable to make a comment on your job performance. When listing referees, you should include the following information about them: Name Job title and name of organisation Telephone number Address Email If you want this information to remain confidential, include in your resume the statement "referees will be supplied upon request".
Don't worry if you don't have information that fits all these categories – the resumes of a student, a person thinking about leaving their first job and someone who has been in the workforce for 20 years will all be very different. Your resume is a document you tailor to present yourself in the most positive light – the key is to select the relevant information and choose a layout that suits you. The layout you choose for your resume will be determined by your situation: New jobseekers and graduates: If you are a recent school leaver or about to graduate from tertiary education you may not have a job history to include. Highlight your personal skills and attributes.If education is your strongest asset, list it first, paying particular attention to courses that are relevant to the position. If you have done any part time or temporary work or work experiences list it. Stress the skills you learnt and attributes used. If your part-time job was not related to the position you are aiming for, describe the skills and attributes you gained in doing it rather than just your duties. For example, rather than "worked as a waiter", include details of how this involved developing your customer service and time management skills, working as part of a team and under pressure.

EXETER—As an incoming Town Councilman for the Town of Exeter, the last thing Dan Patterson wants to do is ruffle any feathers or stir trouble in his community … at least before he's officially sworn in anyway.
Unfortunately, that's no longer an option.
Thanks to a report on investigative journalist Jim Hummel's web site (www.hummelreport.com [3]), allegations were raised early last week that the newly-elected Patterson was unfairly bilking the town of Exeter out of nearly $1,000 annually in property tax revenue by driving a newly purchased 2009 GMC Sierra truck that was registered in Vermont, a state that has no property tax on vehicles.
While it's true that the truck in question is registered in the Green Mountain State, and therefore not bound by Rhode Island property tax rules and regulations, Patterson contends there is no controversy.
And allegations that he's not paying his fair share? He calls those ridiculous.
"At the whole outset, I was not avoiding paying property taxes," Patterson said last Thursday. "My [gripe] was over the (denial of a) farm plate. I was thoroughly disgusted at that point with the state of Rhode Island. After showing you the paperwork, you see what I went through. You try to do something the right way and you still get screwed."
Patterson's story is as simple as it is complex.
As owner of ShanBri Farms on Rt. 2, Patterson often deals with the state of Vermont in his day-to-day business operations. A good chunk of his business, he says, involves going to the state, interacting with locals and, often, transporting goods from Vermont to Rhode Island.
Because of this, Patterson was on the lookout for a reliable vehicle, both for work and personal use, back in March and, after an exhaustive search for a truck with a Duramax Diesel Engine that he felt could meet his needs, found the 2009 GMC Sierra in question in Maine.
All told, the vehicle came to roughly $42,000.
That's where the story gets interesting.
According to Patterson, when he went to register the vehicle, it was improperly registered to his business (ShanBri Farms LLC) and not to himself.
From that point, Patterson says, he went to the Division of Taxation to change the name on the registration and, after some back and forth arguing with officials over his exempt status, paid $2,943.79 in sales tax to the state of Rhode Island.
The only caveat? The DOT refused to allow him a farm plate, a plate that he says would have given him an exemption on the sales tax but not on property taxes in the town itself, taxes he would have had to pay at whole market value.
"At that point, I am thoroughly disgusted," Patterson said. "I spent a week with these people, four or five days with the registry. I said 'I'm done'."
Patterson then took the vehicle to Vermont, registered it in Vermont, and began using the truck in his day-to-day operations.
That is, until word got around that Patterson had a Vermont plate on his vehicle.
"I moved it to shut my critics up," he said. "That way I'm in conformance with Rhode Island state law. I'm not violating law. It's in a state that I own property in, that I pay taxes in. It's not here. I'm not using it in Rhode Island at this moment."
Asked if he's avoiding paying local taxes on his car, Patterson says he's not breaking any rules.
"I'm not avoiding the tax, that's the thing," he said. "It'd be the same argument of 'Gee, you've got a piece of property in Vermont, how come we can't tax it down here in Rhode Island?". I'm waiting to hear that one next."
In the time since the Hummel Report story, Patterson has produced a copy of the check he used to pay the Rhode Island Division of Taxation $2,943.79 in sales tax. This, he argues, is proof that he's paying his fair share.
"Oh, when I look at my tax bills, I know I'm paying more than the fair share," he said. "It works out to about $197 per week."
Long-term, Patterson plans on bringing the truck back to Rhode Island and registering it with the state. And those days it was registered in Rhode Island? Next year, when the tax rolls come around, he'll have to pay those taxes as well.
In essence, Patterson says, it's a non-story.
"Yes, everybody that's responded to me, they feel the same way," he said. "They're laughing at it."
Hummel, meanwhile, stands by his report.
"I will stand by the story that we posted last week," he said. "Mr. Patterson told us that he had paid the sales tax and I had no reason to disbelieve him at the time but, as any reporter would do, I wanted to see the proof. As I put in my story, I followed up with two emails and a phone call, all of which he chose to ignore, so I didn't have any substantiation on the sales tax.
Obviously you have it, but the fact remains that by being registered in Vermont, instead of Rhode Island, means that that vehicle is not being taxed, for the car tax purposes, by the town of Exeter. Let's put it this way: the town of Exeter has no means to be able to tax it because it's registered out of state and that was the original point of my story."
And as for the argument that it's not a story? Hummel disagrees.
"The whole point of my story was for every dollar that somebody is not paying toward the Exeter levy, somebody else has to pick up and clearly this was an issue," he said. "I got tips on this story going back a couple of months. Clearly it was an issue for some people who saw him driving around in the town of Exeter with out of town plates who may have just gotten tax bills from the Exeter tax assessor that were substantially more than last year …
That's the whole reason we did the story. Is everybody paying their fair share? So, at the end of the day, Mr. Patterson has his argument. I wish he had chosen to have the same dialogue with me that he's having with you, but, that's his choice."

Singapore's Separation from Malaysia (1965)
Singapore's founding father Lee Kuan Yew tearing as he announced the separation of Singapore from Malaysia was a rare display of emotion - a stark contrast to his image as a strong leader, which made it all the more startling for viewers.
From Boys to Men (1967)
The British pull-out in 1966 spurred the Singapore government to build up its own armed forces. The first batch of Singaporean males called up for National Service numbered some 9,000 – all born in the first six months of 1949.
Hotel New World Collapse (1986)
Like a pack of cards, the six-story Lian Yak Building or Hotel New World came crashing down all of a sudden. It was one of Singapore's worst civil disasters. But it also brought out the best in its people in their camaraderie and resilience.
Riding on the MRT (1987)
Back when road travel was less of a comfort, the mass rapid transit (MRT) was an overnight sensation with its air-conditioned, quiet ride. More than 120,000 people rode the first train, from Toa Payoh to Yio Chu Kang, which lasted all of ten minutes.
First National Day Parade (1966)
For the first time, Singaporeans got a taste of the pomp and pageantry of a parade held to mark the nation's first birthday since it separated from Malaysia. Over 23,000 people took part, and thousands more joined in by watching the parade on TV.
From Kampong to Estate (1960s)
To cope with the rapidly growing post war population, the HDB had to build new flats quickly without compromising on safety. Television later helped to excite Singaporeans about the flats by promoting its advantages such as proper sanitation.
Days of Glory (1970s – 1990s)
The 70s to the early 90s were the glory days of Singapore football when fans would queue for hours just to get hold of match tickets. They would then pack the stadiums to the brim and their loud cheers later became known as the 'Kallang Roar'.
Foiling of the SIA Hijack (1991)
Minutes into the flight, four passengers onboard SQ 117 seized control of the plane bound for Singapore from Kuala Lumpur. They wanted the release of nine prisoners in Pakistan. But their plan was foiled by SAF commandoes.
SilkAir's Final Flight (1997)
When SilkAir MI 185 nosedived into the Musi river near Palembang in South Sumatra, it took with it the lives of 104 people, including crew members. The cause of the crash remains a mystery.
A Cultural Icon (2002)
What is a performing arts centre without controversy? When plans for the Esplanade were first unveiled, some called it 'fish scales', others, 'bug's eyes'. But it was 'The Durian' that endured and endeared Singaporeans to this cultural icon.
Wee Soon Hui
She's better known as Mrs Tay in the well-loved drama series Growing Up. But did you know that she was also a newscaster back in the day. Find out which news stories most inspired Ms Wee, the host of We Made the News!

SFIFF, day ten: Cachao and the wow of Still Life
By Jeffrey M. Anderson
Last night, Maria Bello accepted her Peter J. Owens award and hosted a screening of her new film Yellow Handkerchief. I haven't seen that film yet, but Bello will always have a place in my heart for her fearless performance in David Cronenberg's A History of Violence (2005).
If you saw Buena Vista Social Club at the festival in 1999 and Calle 54 at the festival in 2001, then you may be familiar with the music of Israel 'Cachao' Lopez, the great Cuban songwriter and bassist who helped bring the mambo to popularity. The new Cachao: Uno Mas arrives just in time, given that Cachao passed away two months ago at the age of 89. It would be great to report that this 68-minute documentary was a worthy farewell, but it's far too brief and it breaks the cardinal rule of music films: it interrupts the songs with talking heads.
Cachao: Uno Mas talk at SFIFF
Some years ago actor Andy Garcia discovered Cachao's music, befriended him and helped re-start his career, especially in the United States. Garcia joined Cachao's band as a drummer and helped produce this and other movies. Unfortunately, director Dikayl Rimmasch seems rather starstruck by Garcia and splits the film's scant running time equally between Garcia and Cachao. So we end up with a few remembrances (all glowing, funny and full of hero-worship), a few fragments of songs, and a few precious minutes of Cachao in action, which isn't enough for a real portrait. San Francisco State University was heavily involved in the film's production.
As a documentary, Umbrella from the Sixth Generation director Du Haibin is exactly the opposite of Cachao: Uno Mas. It doesn't include a single talking head, and employs only a handful of intertitles to remind us where we are and what's going on. The film uses the umbrella as a metaphor for the China of today and its burgeoning, but quickly-shifting economy. The first of its five segments begins in a factory full of young people hoping to make a quick buck putting umbrellas together. Next, it swings over to merchants selling umbrellas, then job hunters attending a job fair. The fourth segment focuses on the military as an option for young people. And the fifth looks at the farmers who suffer the most. For the first time in generations, young people deserted their family farms to seek their fortune in the city, and city economics began to intrude on farm life, running many farmers out of business.
Du Haibin's Umbrella is one of the stronger documentaries at this year's SFIFF
Du shows all of this without adding a single word. He just stands back and photographs. He goes for a Frederick Wiseman-like fly-on-the-wall approach that's enormously effective, if slightly devious (no film is this objective). The overall result is fascinating, if brutally depressing. It paints a decidedly different picture from the one the Chinese government would like you see.
Speaking of China, the festival's very best film, Jia Zhang-ke's Still Life, is screening at SFIFF just before a local theatrical run. I just saw Johnnie To's new film Linger as well, but it's such an unexpected departure that I'm still digesting it.
Still Life screens Tues/6, 8:45 p.m. at the Pacific Film Archive

Chapter Twenty One
"Long time no talk eh Carson?" Her voice burned my ears after so long.
"It wouldn't be my fault that you have no need to call me would it." I sighed looking at Nic as she rubbed the back of her neck uncomfortable. I moved my mouth away from the end of the old phone putting my hand over the receiver. "Go back to bed with Ben. I'll get you when I'm done." She nodded unsure if she should stay or go like I said. I gave her a nod before she walked back up the stairs stopping in front of Ben's door before going in.
"Now don't get snippy with me Isabelle." I put my hand to my face.
"Why do you call me Isabelle? It is not my name Mother." I heard her huff at me.
"Because Carson is a boy's name. I did not want to call you Carson. Your name is Isabelle do you understand me?"
"My name is Carson Collins, Mother. You cannot change who I am because you don't like it." I sighed rubbing my hand on my leg as a sharp pain went though it since last time I punched that kid on the beach.
"Look here Isabelle. Your name is Isabelle Wilson. Do you understand that?" I closed my eyes.
"I don't understand because my name isn't Isabelle." She huffed at me again. "Mother does this phone call have a point?" I asked her clenching my jaw tightly in annoyance.
"Oh it does. I don't waste my minutes on useless things like you." I bit my lip. "It's not like we really even need to talk. Your Sperm Donor sends you to that useless school every year for an insane cost so what? You get a useless education on war. You know if I raised you the way I wanted to we wouldn't be in this situation." I looked out the back door onto the boardwalk as the first few drops of rain fell onto the sand covered wood.
"And what situation are we in?" I asked her folding my arms across my chest.
"Well I could get started on how you act. Don't get me started about your stupid attitude. Your Sperm Donor's new girl toy stopped sending me my money. I haven't gotten it in weeks! Do you understand what I am getting at here Isabelle? I'm not getting my child support checks. I expect those checks to be on time, the amount I want. I will drag his ass to court for this. I want my damn money!"
"Mother I'm 18 now. I'm no longer a minor. Dad doesn't have to send you any money anymore. You have no control over the money as I am an adult now. No more child support."
"I get my money you silly brat. I'm smarter than you are Isabelle. I have been getting my money for years now. Your sperm Donor never sends enough money for you. It's like he expects me to live on nothing even after I married Harold. I needed more. More than I was getting from him of course. I mean I need my shoes. I need my clothes. Harold was only giving me 100,000 a month! How does he expect me to live on that?"
"Mother Dad saved the money he got from Grandmamma and Grandpa. He knew that he doesn't need it. He doesn't need 1,000 dollar shoes like you do."
"You watch that tone of voice with me. Don't you dare disrespect me! I gave you life!" She yelled at me making me clutch onto a kitchen chair as I bit my tongue to not yell back.
"I'm not disrespecting you Mother. I'm just saying he knows how to save money and not spend it right after he gets it. Just because Grandmamma and Grandpa have money and send some to Sarah, Dad, and Me."
"I said you watch your attitude with me. I can save money! I just use the money I have. Like your money. Every last cent of it." She said smugly. I bit my tongue again my hand clenching into fists.
"What do you mean you used all of my money?" I growled into the phone.
"Oh you know my name is on your college fund as well as your sperm donors. So I thought I needed a new car to drive around. I needed a vacation from everything too. I'm not enjoying Harold anymore. He barley makes me orgasm anymore. Your father was always a good lay. Why do you think I kept him around for so long?" I gagged almost throwing up in my mouth. "Well I needed away from him and his small dick, so I took my lover to Costa Rica for a week of fun. Oh it was amazing. A lovely week in the sun. The sex was amazing as well." I shuddered at the new information.
"Where the hell did you get this money?" I snapped at her dreading her answer.
"Oh I used your school fund. It paid for my whole vacation and a brand new car. It's a lovely one too."
"You used my school money for a fucking vacation!?" I screamed into the phone. "All my fucking money on yourself!?" I could feel the urge to cry coming on.
"Don't you raise your voice at me!" She snapped back at me.
"You used 450,000 dollars on your fucking vacation? How could you do this to me!? Your own daughter!?"
"I don't give 2 shits about you! That money has been going down for years now! You don't need it! You're going nowhere in your life! That moneys mine!" She screamed at me.
"I hate you!" I screamed into the phone. "I hate you so damn much. I fucking loathe you! You repulse me! I can't believe I have to be related to you! I never want to hear from you again!"
"Oh Isabelle come down. Don't be so overdramatic." I could almost hear her rolling her eyes at me.
"I hate you." I screamed into the phone before slamming it against the wall. It shattered into a million pieces one hitting me on the head with one of the pieces. The tears started to roll down my face as I fought a sob from coming out. My knees started to shake as my chest burned with the pain of fighting the sobs. Every last cent of my Dad's and Grandparents hard earned money gone.
"Carson what's wrong?" I looked over at Tucker as he stood at the top of the stair staring at the mess around me. "Baby you're bleeding." I shook my head standing up on my shaking knees. "Carson…" I slid open the back door and ran. I ran as fast as I could. I could feel my feet hitting the slippery wood of the boardwalk as I ran from the house. My heart was beating so hard I felt like it would beat out of my chest as I fought the sobs. The rain was pouring around me as I cried. It was hiding my tears so well. "Carson." I heard Tucker yell after me as I ran. I felt my foot slip on the wet sand causing me to start to fall. I put my right hand out to brake my fall. I heard a crack as my wrist was under my body. I could feel the rain hitting my back as I laid on the ground my head on the wet sand as I finally let the sobs come out of my body. "Oh Baby." Tucker said dropping to his knees lifting me into his arms holding me as I held onto my arm that was searing in pain.
"Owe." I cried as Tucker put his hand on my forehead making me flinch.
"I know Baby but your bleeding and now it's covered in sand." I sniffled as I curled in his arm. "It's alright I'm here for you baby." He whispered holding me close. I looked up at him as he lifted his hand from the cut on my head were a bandana was lying. "You're going to need some stitches for this Car." He sighed pressing his lips to my sobbing hair. "Come on Baby let's get you back to the house." He helped me stand up putting his hand on my elbow knowing my wrist hurt.
"Owe, owe, owe." I moaned as it moved when we walked.
"I'm sorry baby. Almost back. You ran a long way." I whimpered as Tucker rubbed my back. He opened the door to the house and helped me step in as Nic and Ben stood up from where they were cleaning up the pieces to my old cell phone. I bit my lip looking at the hole I made in the wall.
"I'm sorry." I sighed looking at the ground. "I'll find the money to fix it."
"Don't worry about it baby. Let me just grab my keys and I'll take you to the hospital. Nic go grab her some ice while I run upstairs." She nodded running to the kitchen as Ben put a tissue to my forehead where it was bleeding.
"Owe." I whimpered at him flinching away from him.
"I'm sorry I have to." He whispered soothingly to me as Nic gently put a bag of ice on my wrist. I bit my lip hard whimpering in pain. Tucker came down the stairs with dry clothes and the keys to the SUV in his hand.
"Come one baby. It shouldn't take too long." He took me gently by my good arm and helped me to the car and buckled me in.
"I'm sorry." I sniffled at him getting chocked up again. He took my face into his hands and kissed me.
"Don't be. I love you." He said before getting into the car and driving me to the ER….
Tucker drove me back to the house as I sat staring out the window. He pulled up to the house and shut off the car. "I'll meet you upstairs baby. We'll sleep in my bed tonight." I nodded opening my door and walking into the house right up the stairs past everyone as Tucker stopped to talk to them. I walked into my room getting right into the shower trying to avoid hitting the dressing on my head. I washed my hair quickly accidently hitting myself twice in the face with the cast on my wrist. I got out giving myself a quick pat down before pulling on a pair of underwear and my pajamas turning the TV on and curling up under the sheets on Tucker's bed. I laid there silently watching the TV as Tucker walked in. He pulled off his still damp clothes till he was naked before pulling on some boxer briefs and a pair of pajama pants. He got under the covers next to me pulling me to him kissing my neck. "How you feeling baby?" I shook my head.
"My head hurts." I sighed looking at him.
"I'm sorry baby. You did get 5 stitches in your forehead." He kissed my forehead as I turned around he gently touched my blue cast. "I can't believe you broke your thumb too."
"It hurts." I sighed looking up at him. "I'm having a utterly terrible day. I just want it to be over."
"Baby what happened?" I felt the tears start to roll down my cheeks.
"She took everything Tucker. I have no money. I'm homeless Tucker."

Evan williams BIB, not overly complex, but tasty and satisfying.
Last night, had one last big pour from this bottle of FRSmBLE2013, moved on to try the Beam with Brandy, finished with EC12. Will definitely be opening another bottle of the FR this weekend. Didn't enjoy the Beam with Brandy so much but it could be because it was right after the excellent FR pour. I'll have to give it a few more shots on another night. Enjoyed the EC12.
More KC120 in celebration of the Sox going up 3-2.
Some 4R 125 SmB for lunch
I guess you answered my question indirectly.
I've never tried GTS with any sort of soda. Maybe I'm missing out; but I'm OK with that.
Don't try this at home.
I have a cold and lost my sense of smell and taste. I thought I would try some whisky to sooth my throat and quickly discovered that all distilled spirits apparently "taste" the same under these circumstances, which surprised me, I just assumed the strength of whisky would impart at least a little character. I tested with both whisky and scotch and would've swore both were Smirnoff vodka if blindfolded. It was pretty gross, just an isopropyl alcohol nose (not really a smell, but the pungency was there) and zero flavor from Weller 12 and Highland Park 15.
Same here, my head is so stopped up I can barely tell Bourbon from Brandy.
We're Bourbon Geeks, it's who we are, it's what we do.
Just popped a bottle of 4RSmBLE125th
OGD 114. It's great to be back with an old friend!

|Mechanisms of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction late after stent implantation: the relative impact of disease progression, stent restenosis, and stent thrombosis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20211307 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: The impact of stent restenosis, stent thrombosis, or progression of disease at another site as responsible mechanisms of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after stent implantation is not clear. METHODS: By searching our catheterization laboratory database for a 4-year period, 91 cases of nonfatal AMI at least 1 month after stent implantation (32.6% drug-eluting stents) were identified. By detailed comparison of post-AMI with the initial percutaneous coronary intervention angiogram, the mechanism of AMI was analyzed. RESULTS: Acute myocardial infarction was attributed to disease progression at another site in 42 (46.2%), stent restenosis in 35 (38.4%), and stent thrombosis in 10 (11%) cases. The AMI mechanism could be either stent related or disease progression (nonidentifiable culprit lesion) in 4 cases (4.4%). The median time from percutaneous coronary intervention to AMI was 27, 19, and 9 months for disease progression at another site, restenosis, and stent thrombosis group, respectively (P = .03). ST-elevation myocardial infarction occurred in 38.1% of the disease progression, in 20% of the restenosis, and in 60% of the stent thrombosis cases (P = .046). CONCLUSIONS: In a "real world" population, late after stent implantation, a patient has an almost equal probability to have suffered a nonfatal AMI from either stent restenosis/thrombosis or disease progression at another site. Continuous research efforts are necessary to equally address both stent therapy and disease progression.

Talk:Wireless Testing
From PC-BSD Wiki
I am surprised no one has used this discussion page to talk about stuff in the wireless section. Even if you have doubts something works. Well for the first post I will confirm on x86 bwn-firmware-kmod works for bcm4311. I will try later on on amd64 arch of pcbsd when i reinstall the os for tutorial purposes (and that will be when i get a decent manual focusing camera that is good on close ups (even extreme ones)). Unless you like to share another method of doing so without rewiteing on my /dev/ada0 . Well until later!

Get to know SwingFix pro Christian Czaja
By Kiel Christianson
The SwingFix roster of instructors includes some of the most well-respected teaching professionals in the nation.
Christian Czaja, PGA instructor at Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida, is one of them. In 2011, he was named South Florida PGA Teacher of the Year.
A PGA member since 1993, Christian organizes free short game clinics and "supervised practice" sessions for students outside of lesson time. He also donates lessons to local schools and junior golf programs.
Thanks to SwingFix, you don't have to be in Boca Raton to get lessons from an award-winning instructor like Christian, who was kind enough to sit down with us for an interview:
1. First off, talk briefly about your golf instruction philosophy and how you preach it at your facility.
CZAJA: My golf instruction philosophy has been shaped over the years by a lot of different things. I feel that my strong playing background and the fact that I have given a huge amount of golf lessons to players of all skill levels and ages really sets me apart from other PGA teaching professionals. I have seen firsthand how the game should be played and feel that coaching players on the correct swing fundamentals is how great results are achieved. Having a keen 'golf intuition' as I call it, I keep my instruction simple and always provide accurate information to my students. I believe all golfers are different and should be coached as individuals. I enjoy teaching the membership and their guests. Players from all over the world come to Boca for lessons with me. Everyday is exciting. I also love to teach teachers and other professionals. Very rewarding.
2. What attracted you to the SwingFix platform and how effective can this method be for golfers?
CZAJA: I was attracted to the SwingFix platform for two main reasons. First, it is clear that the majority of golfers never go for formal instruction. There are many reasons for this. It wasn't that long ago when I played college golf for East Carolina University and taking lessons was not on my to do list mainly because of the cost. If SwingFix had been available I would have definitely checked it out. I feel that promoting the game is the goal. I feel great when I can help a golfer get elite coaching at an affordable price. The second reason I became involved was the quality of the platform. I use video with almost every lesson I give. To have access to such a state-of-the-art platform is just terrific. Awesome stuff!
3. In your opinion, what is the secret to taking the "range game" to the first tee?
CZAJA: The secret to taking the 'range game' to the first tee is two-fold. First, golfers need to practice like they play. Second, take playing lessons. On the practice range and putting green, try and simulate real situations. Practice your pre-shot routine, and always play to a target. When you go on a playing lesson, take some notes and watch your instructor play the course. I really enjoy playing and demonstrating for my students. It's a great way to learn.
4. Is there a particular training aid that you tend to use most regularly and with the most effectiveness?
CZAJA: I use video all the time. Having the IPad2 makes video so easy to use, and I now video tape players on the putting green and golf course more than ever. I also use mirrors a lot. It speeds up the learning process. Giving golfers feedback is critical for learning, sometimes positive and other times negative feedback. Players learn a lot from video analysis when it is used properly.
5. Is there a way students who have worked with you most often dramatically improve and achieve that coveted five-shot drop in scores? Power, consistency, short game, management, playing more golf, etc.?
CZAJA: In the game of golf today power is very important. Golfers who improve their swing dynamics and use fitted golf equipment lower their scores rapidly. I always evaluate the player's short game and make suggestions on how to play better from inside 100 yards. I feel that golfers who hit it longer off the tee and can play shorter clubs into the green do great with dropping their scores five-plus shots. Golf today is definitely a power game; all one has to do is watch the men and women on TV playing this great game for a living to see that.

sturdy shirt a great deal on clearance
Very tough fabric. Dye color is (intentionally) faded out and not consistent. Size runs on the large side, which seems normal for TA items. This is more like a camping/work shirt than a silky formal shirt; the silk in the weave is more tough than soft. I like the shirt quite a bit, and the price is good on sale.
Oakland, CA
Really like this shirt
I really like this shirt, it looks very nice but it does fit most of the reviews. The material is on the rougher side, it's raw silk and cotton. If you want a nice smooth silky shirt it is not for you. The sleeves fit about like most of the TA shirts I have, a little longer than I like but I wear an XL and a 34 inch sleeve, when I order an XL without specifying a sleeve length I expect a little longer sleeve. If you want a nice looking shirt that holds it body well after ironing, one that is not really rough, but isn't silky as most people expect when they see silk, this is a very nice looking shirt. I have two and plan on ordering a third.
Olathe, Ks
Great Shirt
I don't understand the bad reviews. I love this shirt. It lasts. It looks good out of the dryer. The silk blend is great. I hope that don't get rid of it because of all the negative reviews!
Oakland, CA
sizing problem
sizing is way off for a "classic" fit. The arm holes are HUGE, so this shirt hangs horribly. Some larges fit me perfectly, and others (slim fit styles) are too tight, but this large is made for someone who is monstrous.
great shirt, but not durable (at all...)
I have two to three dozen TA shirts, and am a big fan of the huge selection of talls with their long sleeves. I have purchased three of the Biergarten shirts, and other silk-blend items, from TA over multiple years. All of them fray along seams (cuffs, pocket, collar, shoulders) within about 10 (gentle!) machine washings. This shirt is my favorite for initial feel, but is probably the worst about fraying. I like the silk-based shirts so much that I kept ordering, in hopes the last one was an anomaly. Never again. Maybe dry cleaning would be better - who knows? If that's a fix, the shirts should definitely be labelled as such. Beware! You too will love this shirt, then it will fall apart on you....
Quality is poor
I bought one of these shirts 1-2 years ago. Love the color and material. But, it started coming apart at the seams on the sleeves. Had a seamstress repair for $25. Now the seams on shoulders are coming apart. This is not the quality I expect from TA. Do not buy this item
Silky? No way.
Rough fabric. Sleeves on tall long a bit short. Afraid further wash and dry will make worse. At almost $100 bucks........ Crazy price. Should be a VERY HIGH QUALITY. Far from it. Wasted money on shipping both ways.
Be careful
This company is going to lose a good customer if they dont get it together. I just sent back two of these because the sleeves are toooo long. Im not paying $100 to wear a shirt that makes me look like a slob. Its unfortunate i had to spend $14 to find that out. Lately your shirts sleeves have been long, and the medium is too small in the chest; so i hope you correct or im done with your company.
San Diego
Nice Quality, Bad Fit
I've been very pleased with my prior Territory Ahead purchases, but this shirt was a disappointment. The quality of the fabric and design of the shirt is good, but the fit is different from all of my other Territory Ahead shirts - the sizing runs large. I normally wear an XL in Territory Ahead, but I'm swimming in this XL. I will need to return it.
Lancaster, PA
Very Nice Shirt Doesn'last
The material is wonderful and the fit was excellent but within a year the shirt with limited wear, was already threadbare in the collar and cuffs. Disappointing longevity...
Rockville, Maryland
Not the quality I'm used too
Seems like the purchasing rep skimped to increase profits

Our Family Story
Quality is in our Root's
Root's Poultry is a special breed. The small family firm has weathered the Depression, three recessions, and other challenges. Today it thrives.
"My grandparents established the business in 1930," Mark Damschroder says. "It's a good feeling to be one of the businesses that has been around for generations."
Wayne and Grace Root began with a vending route , purchasing chickens and eggs in Sandusky County, Ohio. They sold these fresh products at the historic West 25th Street Market in Cleveland. In the early 1940's, they purchased the farm from where Root's is located today. They began to raise and dress their own poultry, selling to a local markets. Over the years, they developed value added products like shredded and cubed chicken, products that would become the bulk of their business.
In the 1960's, they stopped raising poultry to concentrate on producing their unique chicken products—"a great move", Mark now says. As a result, the business would grow. In the 1970's, Grandsons Mike and Mark Damschroder came to work at Root's. Sadly, Wayne passed away in 1984. The grandsons bought the business from Grace about a year later. Since then, the Company has continued to expand. They doubled the size of their building in 1990. Most importantly, Root's is poised to move from a state to a regional distribution level. Root's is a USDA inspected facility.

More Than a Dozen Cities, Eight in California, Have Excessive Home Prices:
The percentage above or below expected level based on such factors as
population density, incomes and historical price norms for each market.
National City (our former mortgage company) put out an interesting study today of the top 99 U.S. real estate markets. (I spotted this in the WSJ).
They concluded that while there is no major real estate bubble, there are housing "bubblettes" in one-fifth of the U.S. housing stock, "labeled as areas with home premiums in excess of 20 percent, a metric that may indicate future price corrections."
How, you may ask, did anyone determine what home prices should be, versus what they are actually trading hands for? "By controlling for differences in population density, relative income levels, interest rates, and historically observed market premiums or discounts." (Aren't you glad you asked?)
Potential "bubblettes" include cities such as Chico, Calif., where a buyer will pay the highest premium for a home at 43 percent. Premiums above 20 percent can be found in San Francisco, Miami and Los Angeles. Other key markets such as New York and Chicago came in below the 20 percent mark, at 16 and 11 percent respectively.
The study reveals overvaluation is not pervasive and that many areas are undervalued, such as Salt Lake City, Utah, the most undervalued housing market with a 23 percent discount.
I would imagine this is strictly a function of demand. Who amongst you, dear readers, wants to move to Salt Lake City? Is a 23% discount significant enough to make you become a Jazz fan? Would you rrally live there? I thought so . . . Hence, the discount to par. (Other undervalued cities include Memphis, Tenn., and Macon, Ga).
The significance of this for housing prices — as well as for equities — is that overvaluation presents a risk of future declines.

3 Responses to "The Growing Risk of Housing 'Bubblettes'"
What does a housing crash look like, anyway?
We sold most of our multi-family holdings in Calif late last year (for 20% over appraised value by the way). We've had these properties for 40 years. Seen many real estate frenzies in Calif since the '70s. This one makes the others (77-82, 86-90) look like pikers. Don't know how or when it ends, but it won't be pretty. We decided to leave the party before the punch bowl is full of ciggie butts.
Have to giggle when I hear real estate bulls (and we've been long and strong here for decades) say that prices won't fall, but may only rise at the rate of inflation for a while. Do they truly believe that property valued 30-40-50% above trend can remain there forever?
How will it end? Don't have a clue. But we are so far into the stratosphere here in Calif that a 20-30-40% fall over 5-10 years wouldn't be out of the question. Don't see how the U.S. can afford to let mortgage rates rise much without true carnage in high-priced markets. They will fall anyway, with or without rate rises.
And forget the supply/demand nonsense. San Francisco homes have doubled in price since 1999, despite a loss in population and jobs. And San Diego homes rose 28% YOY b/w 03-04 despite a net outmigration of population.
Just read an article that quoted a broker in Walnut Creek attributing that town's price rise to supply/demand. Yet rental apts/townhomes are at 20-year vacancy highs. No shortage of places to live there, yet folks are lining up to buy $1 million tract homes that they could have bought for $400K five years ago. Go figure.
A housing bubblette
Earlier in the year Barry Ritholtz over at The Big Picture had a series of articles looking at housing and the case, or lack thereof, for housing bubbles – The Growing Risk of Housing 'Bubblettes' started it off. Barry's attention

Right now, as I write, it is very peacefully snowing. I've been here 13 years now, and I still absolutely adore to watch the snow fall.
Well, happy New Year, dear people.
Right now, as I write, it is very peacefully snowing. I've been here 13 years now, and I still absolutely adore to watch the snow fall.
I must confess I'm not too crash hot on driving in it, or walking through it, but to sit and look at a soft snow fall has to be one of the most peaceful enterprises in the world. It's simply so quiet and gentle – it just has to give you a warm fuzzy feeling.
Way over the other side of the world, my darling daughter and her gorgeous husband have awoken to a new year already, and have no doubt planned their New Year's Day with thoughts of the beach and of lunch on the promenade.
Despite having been here all this time, that is the one thing I can't – or more to the point, won't – get used to.
All my life my new year has always revolved around a beach. As we speak, I should be sitting out on the deck, listening to the roar of the surf, eating Queensland mangoes with the juice gushing up to my armpits, and thinking ahead to chilled wine and prawns for dinner.
I should be hot footing it across the sand, accompanied by the odd "ooh" and "ouch" on my way to the surf, so that I can swim out through the breakers, feeling like I'm wallowing in warm champagne, feeling the tingle of the salt on my skin as I swim up the wave to be deposited in bubbles on the other side.
I should be coming in off the sand, luxuriating in the shower as my skin gives a brief shriek at the slight shiver of sunburn. I should be planning my deep sea fishing expedition for later in the week, and I should be attempting to battle on with the 2,000-piece jigsaw puzzle set up on the coffee table.
I should be cutting up the meat to feed the kookaburras, and mixing nectar for the lorikeets and parrots, and I should probably by now be starting my fourth or fifth book.
But you can't go back, now can you? So instead I sit looking out into the garden to see the whisper soft snow fall, and watch the antics of the odd intrepid squirrel – an exotic vacation it's not, but – it's home.
And after all, home is where the heart is.
Happy New Year everyone. May 2013 bring you every joy and piece of good fortune you could possibly want, and may your year be the best ever.

New House Rises In Sandy Hook, Replacing Blighted StructureMonday, October 13, 2014
Local electrician Ken Burns has fond memories of his youth living with his family at a compact ranch-style house at 82 Berkshire Road (Route 34) in Sandy Hook.
He recalls days of playing in the spacious backyard amid fields and trees which lead to the rustic, winding Sugarloaf Road.
In the past, the area was generally agricultural, he noted. A large working farm stood across Sugarloaf Road in the area now proposed for the 42-lot Sherman Woods cluster-style residential subdivision.

Emo Rugs
* Custom Size Rugs
* Plush Emo Area Rugs
* Emo Floor Mats
When your teens are having one of those days that leave them feeling as if they could collapse to the floor with grief, our emo rugs will be there to cheer them up. Let your kids express their melancholy, joy, quirkiness and anger with carpet rugs that show emo style graffiti, bittersweet portrayals of love pictured in hot pink and black, a ton of clever takes on the skull and crossbones trend, and cute cartoon Gothic girls and boys.
One of our popular floor mat patterns shows how emo kids find
love in each others' sadness. A slender, fair-skinned boy and girl are gazing at one another with big, mournful eyes from beneath their long black bangs on these emo rugs. The adorable couple is holding hands as they stand in front of a violet heart, gray rain pouring down onto their all-black clothes. For an even more solemn and solitary floor mat, go with this same emo girl seen alone, her black mascara dripping with tears and raindrops.
Skulls are a quintessential motif of emo fashion. So make sure your teenager's custom bedroom décor includes an area rug that features one or many of these gruesome yet fun figures. How about a black skull with hot pink crossbones set on a grungy pattern of radiating black and white stripes for your girl? The background of this carpet rug is splattered with paint and concentric circles of varying shades of pink and purple.
Give your son his own emo rug that incorporates the skull theme. One of these includes rows of Jolly Rogers with the face made from not only skulls but hearts, flames, rabbits or bears. The characters on this area rug are illustrated in black and dark gray on a pale gray background. Our emo themed window curtains and pillows will make the perfect complement to the new rugs in your kids' bedrooms.

Is there a way to improve JUnit performance? I have a test where I call a method and when I put a timer inside the Junit test around the method the method takes 15msec to execute and the entire test time takes 2-3seconds. The more tests I add into JUnit the longer the overall time takes.
It is getting to the point where JUnit may take an hour or so to run but if I put the test in a stand-alone client it takes less than a minute.
Any ideas or thoughts?

It would seem to me that the Drupal guys doesn't overly care about security, if they instruct users to apply the insecure FollowSymlinks everywhere.
They should be made aware of this potentially serious issue and make their software work with SymlinksIfOwnerMatch.
It would be nice if some kind of consensus over this controversial "SymLinksIfOwnerMatch" security thing would be arrived to.

Hatch says Obama meeting was 'constructive'
Washington • Sen. Orrin Hatch said he and fellow Senate Republicans had a constructive meeting Friday with President Barack Obama, and while there's no solution yet to the government shutdown at least the two sides are talking.
"The government shutdown is unfair to the millions of Utahns who rightly expect Washington to solve problems not make problems," the Utah Republican said. "But what's also not right is that up to now the president has simply refused to negotiate."
Call it a negotiation, or a conversation, Obama has now met with Republicans and Democrats from the House and Senate in hopes of ending the logjam over the federal budget.
Hatch and the other 45 Republicans from the upper chamber sat down for more than an hour on Friday.
"While we may disagree on many things, there is unanimous agreement that we need to open the federal government and prevent a default," Hatch said, referring to the deadline next week for Congress to raise the nation's borrowing limit or face a default on its bills.
Sen. Mike Lee's spokesman Brian Phillips said his boss simply heard the same speech from Obama that he's been giving publicly about how Republicans need to just vote for a budget without conditions. Phillips said the senator was encouraged that Obama invited the senators to meet with him.
