The defense and intelligence communities are skeptical when dealing with Democratic Presidents. Democratic presidential candidates must trash both departments to win the primary votes of liberal activists. They make promises to decrease Pentagon budgets and redirect the spending to domestic programs. Obama's win over Hillary Clinton was largely due to his ability to rhetorically express anti-war sentiment.
By the time the campaign was over, it was no secret that the CIA and defense establishments were skeptics and against many of his more radical plans. Unfortunately, a byproduct of this distrust is a renewed vulnerability to foreign terrorists. Obama alienated the front line, his boots on the ground.
Obama's presidency was not helped by his decision to neglect meeting with Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the chief general in Afghanistan, until almost nine months into his term. During this extended period, Obama bothered to speak with his general only once over the phone. This lack of communication violated Obama's campaign promise to listen to America's generals. To compound this error, Obama dithered, taking months to finalize a new strategy for his Afghan offensive.
Obama also instructed Attorney General Eric Holder to pursue an irresponsible investigation of the methods used to interrogate suspected terrorists after 9/11. The interrogation probe, which is largely seen as a witch-hunt against George W. Bush's administration, is opposed by seven former CIA chiefs from both political parties. Obama brazenly ignored the warnings of these bipartisan experts and has allowed Holder a free hand.
On December 29, Obama issued Executive Order 13526 which declassifies the most sensitive of national secrets, including the daily presidential briefing. By issuing this controversial executive order, and rolling back precedents set by the Clinton and Bush administrations, Obama is further threatening his relationship with the intelligence community. By divulging sensitive documents, the methods and contacts of U.S. spies become part of the public record. His decision creates an incentive for the agencies to withhold or hide information. Naturally, spies never want to years later appear on the front page of the newspaper to have their decisions critiqued by the uninformed.

Hey all,
I have an opportunity to get dropped off at Indian Hills Camp in Jamul and ride home to Poway. The direct route (gmap ~30mi) would go up Santee Lakes and into Sycamore Canyon. I have explored SC a little from the Poway side, but not far past the ranch house, and already it seemed like there was some rocky stuff that wants some suspension.
I have two bikes I can choose from, hardtail or CrossCheck. (And for the CC I could keep my 29x2 marathon supremes on, or switch to Vee Rubber V12 for the day).
I really don't want to suffer on the MTB for the majority of the ride, especially I want to rock the downhill from Jamul. But would I survive the ~8mi on dirt? How much of it is rocky?
Also, since I've never been the whole way through, if I hit the trailhead at the top of Santee Lakes, will it be obvious how to go, or is it easy to get lost? Are there lots of trail branchings? If I keep the sun on my left (i.e. going due north in the afternoon) and try to stay in the middle of the canyon will I be OK? I don't have a GPS but I suppose I could bring a compass.

Seven in ten Canadian men are worried they will become their dad
TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2014 /CNW/ - Are you complaining about loud music, yelling at kids on your lawn, or (gasp) wearing pleated slacks? If you've answered yes to any of these, you may be suffering from BMD. BMD, or Becoming My Dad syndrome is common among Canadian men. According to research from Schick® Hydro® 5, 69% of men are worried they will become their father when they get older.
But it's not all bad news; some men want to inherit dad's traits - just not his fondness for socks and sandals. Work ethic and wisdom top the list where Canadian men think dad has got it right and these are the traits they hope they inherit. Not surprisingly, men say that dad's least desirable traits are his fashion sense (30%) and taste in music (19%).
So how do you ensure you take only the good from dad, and none of his old school habits? Schick Hydro can help identify signs if you or someone you love is suffering from BMD. Visit becomingmydad.ca and take the quiz to help ward off any unnecessary embarrassment. It is important to keep in mind that BMD is a syndrome that often goes unnoticed by the person it plagues, but it is typically glaringly obvious to others around them.
"I've seen it among my friends. Suddenly they are sporting fanny packs, or I catch them listening to soft rock. It can happen overnight if you are not careful," says Hector Padilla, Senior Brand Manager, Energizer Personal Care. "I love my dad and he' taught me a lot but that doesn't mean what was right for him 20 years ago is right for me now."
Men in Canada report they started to exhibit signs of BMD in their 20's (43%) while one in three men say it happened in their 30s. In Quebec, men seemed to follow in dad's footsteps a bit earlier with 24% saying they started seeing signs of BMD in their teens.
If you are still not sure on how to spot BMD syndrome or want to find the cure, watch the success stories at becomingmydad.ca/watchnwin and you could win up to $10,000 or follow Schick Hydro on Twitter at @SchickHydroCA and Facebook Schick Hydro Canada.
Schick® Hydro® 5 razors and refills are available at grocery, drug and mass retail outlets across Canada. The suggested retail price for the razor is $11.99 and the refills (packs of 4) are $15.99.
Survey Methodology
Schick® Hydro® 5 commissioned Environics Research Group (www.environics.ca) to conduct an online custom survey of 1,000 Canadian men aged 25-45 years. Responses were collected between June 18 and 23, 2014.

Green warns Steffensen over Twitter use
After becoming a target of John Steffensen's Twitter tirade himself, Australia's Olympic team boss Nick Green has warned the outspoken athlete to tone down his public grievances.
Green says Steffensen has not yet crossed the line with his repeated accusations that Athletics Australia chief Dallas O'Brien is a liar and his claims of racism, but will closely monitor what he says.
"If he continues to snipe away, we'll have to deal with it," Green told reporters on Tuesday.
Steffensen accused Green of not knowing the facts when the chef de mission said on Monday that he was disappointed with the 400m runner's threat to boycott the Games and that racism may have been behind his non-selection for the individual event in London.
"Nick green if your so disappointed why dnt you call me to find out the problem!! U talk to the media like u no the facts!! I dnt even no u!!" Steffensen wrote on Twitter.
But Green defended his position.
"He's a member of our team. I'm entitled to make comments on members of our team," he said.
Green plans to talk to Steffensen, who is a member of the 4x400m relay team, when he checks into the village, but says his accusations against O'Brien are a matter for AA.
"If any athlete brings themselves into disrepute we have cause to look at that scenario and John Steffensen's clearly using social media to voice his frustrations," Green said.
"His comments with Dallas O'Brien, Dallas can deal with those separately, they have nothing to do with the team, they're directed at Dallas.
"We have a very strict social media policy and if any athlete crosses the line, we'll deal with it."
When asked whether Steffensen had crossed that line, Green replied: "From the postings I've seen, no."
Steffensen claims O'Brien has gagged head coach Eric Hollingsworth who he says asked the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) to go against AA's wishes and select him as a reserve for the 400m behind teenager Steve Solomon.
"Dallas u can't lie no more!I have a paper trail for days!Save your self n start telling the truth!U can't hide behind bias media!" Steffensen said.
The AOC, however, says Steffensen was named as a reserve simply as a back-up.
Steffensen's best time this year of 45.61 seconds, set in February, is the 110th fastest in the world for 2012, while Solomon recently clocked a career-best 45.52s at the world junior championships.
Green says Steffensen's situation is different to the incident involving swimmers Nick D'Arcy and Kenrick Monk who've been banned from using social media and will be sent home straight after their events for posting pictures of themselves posing with high powered guns at a US rifle range.
"We look at the details of every case, every scenario and look at the history and then make a decision accordingly," Green said.
Green says athletes are encouraged to use social media which he says will "be a wonderful insight that the athletes can provide" but must do so responsibly.

(The following press release from Moody's was received by e-mail. It was not confirmed by the sender.) Moody's assigns definitive Baa3 rating to Fresenius Medical Care's senior secured credit facilities Frankfurt am Main, November 20, 2012 -- Moody's Investors Service has today assigned a definitive Baa3 rating to USD 3.8 billion worth of bank facilities syndicated by Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA ("FME" or "the group"), following the receipt of the final documentation of the loan. This rating is in line with the previously assigned provisional rating. The financing was put in place to primarily refinance existing senior bank obligations maturing in March 2013. The FME's Ba1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and unsecured ratings remain unchanged. The outlook on the ratings is stable. RATINGS RATIONALE The Baa3 rating (LGD 2, 26%) assigned to around USD3.8 billion senior credit facilities issued at the holding level of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA reflects the instrument's priority position in the capital structure. The facilities are guaranteed on a senior basis by key intermediary holding and selected operating companies, and are secured by share pledges (65%-100%) of a significant part of the group's operating subsidiaries. Compared to the previous bank agreement the senior lenders don't benefit from a springing lien which had required security over all material assets in case of senior bank debt instrument rating downgrade to below Ba3. The removal of the springing lien in the new facility agreement weakens senior lenders' security position and makes monitoring of guarantor coverage more difficult. As a result our loss given default rate increases from 20% to 26%. However, limited debt at operating subsidiary level and extra guarantor coverage, primarily from US subsidiaries, which is not available to unsecured bond lenders justify the upward notching of secured senior lenders. FME's Ba1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) is supported by (i) its absolute scale, vertical integration and a very strong market position as a leading global provider of dialysis products and private dialysis services; (ii) continued favourable industry growth trends and the recurring non-cyclical nature of its revenues; (iii) high profitability levels; and (iv) good financial flexibility. With the extension of FME's bank lines, the group's short term liquidity also improves substantially, with barely any debt maturities in the next 12 -- 18 months. The rating is constrained by (i) FME's relatively high adjusted financial leverage, as evidenced by a debt/EBITDA ratio of 3.5x as per end of June 2012 LTM; (ii) the company's exposure to tightening healthcare budgets, potential regulatory changes, government investigations or changes in the payer mix, which could have an impact on the FME's profitability; (iii) a pure-play focus on the dialysis market, albeit operating through the whole value chain; (iv) high regional concentration on the key US market; (v) a strong appetite for acquisitions to complement organic growth, which are to a large degree debt financed resulting in continued reliance on access to capital markets which could lead to short term liquidity pressures. Assignments: .. Issuer: Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA . Senior Secured credit facilities , Assigned Baa3, LGD2, 26% Given the strategy of FME to grow the business externally an upgrade of the rating is currently unlikely. A rating upgrade would require a change in the financial policy of FME towards lower external growth and a change in the management of short term liquidity. In addition it would require enhanced regional diversification, which appears somewhat challenging in the medium term, profitability at current levels (EBIT-margin in the high teens) and the generation of positive free cash flow applied to debt reduction contributing to gradual improvements in leverage towards 3.0 times debt/EBITDA and CFO/ debt approaching 20%. In Moody's view, downward rating pressure would likely be the result of: (i) unfavourable reimbursement changes in core markets or changes in payer mix, affecting the group's profit generation; (ii) an increase in financial leverage, evidenced by a debt/EBITDA ratio sustainably above 3.5x and a CFO/debt ratio below 15%; (iii) failure to ensure adequate liquidity profile or (iv) material litigation. The principal methodology used in rating FME was the Global Healthcare Service Providers Industry Methodology published in December 2011. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009 . Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of these methodologies. FME is the world's leading provider of dialysis products and dialysis services, with LTM 2012 revenues of USD13.5 billion as of end of September 2012. The company is a vertically integrated player with operations as a dialysis service provider, a dialysis product manufacturer for its own dialysis clinics and a supplier of dialysis products to external dialysis service providers. FME is controlled by Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA (rated Ba1, stable), which owns 31% of the company but controls 100% of the general partner of FME, given FME's legal status as a Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien (KGaA; partnership limited by shares). REGULATORY DISCLOSURES For ratings issued on a program, series or category/class of debt, this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation to each rating of a subsequently issued bond or note of the same series or category/class of debt or pursuant to a program for which the ratings are derived exclusively from existing ratings in accordance with Moody's rating practices. For ratings issued on a support provider, this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation to the rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the support provider's credit rating. For provisional ratings, this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final issuance of the debt, in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed prior to the assignment of the definitive rating in a manner that would have affected the rating. For further information please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page for the respective issuer on www.moodys.com. The rating has been disclosed to the rated entity or its designated agent(s) and issued with no amendment resulting from that disclosure. Information sources used to prepare the rating are the following: parties involved in the ratings, public information, and confidential and proprietary Moody's Investors Service information. Moody's considers the quality of information available on the rated entity, obligation or credit satisfactory for the purposes of issuing a rating. Moody's adopts all necessary measures so that the information it uses in assigning a rating is of sufficient quality and from sources Moody's considers to be reliable including, when appropriate, independent third-party sources. However, Moody's is not an auditor and cannot in every instance independently verify or validate information received in the rating process. Moody's Investors Service may have provided Ancillary or Other Permissible Service(s) to the rated entity or its related third parties within the two years preceding the credit rating action.

A member of the board of directors of this rated entity may also be a member of the board of directors of a shareholder of Moody's Corporation; however, Moody's has not independently verified this matter. Please see Moody's Rating Symbols and Definitions on the Rating Process page on www.moodys.com for further information on the meaning of each rating category and the definition of default and recovery. Please see ratings tab on the issuer/entity page on www.moodys.com for the last rating action and the rating history. The date on which some ratings were first released goes back to a time before Moody's ratings were fully digitized and accurate data may not be available.

The 17th modern running of Falcon Motor Club's March Hare
Trial, the only Classic Reliability Trial to be held in the
Chilterns, took place on Sunday 1st March 2015.
2008 saw a major milestone being passed as that years event marked the 50th anniversary of the very first March Hare Trial. Remarkably the 2015 event still used some of the sections from the very first event.
The organising team every year comprises of well known and experienced trials competitors, thus guaranteeing a superb event in the beautiful countryside of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
Both the start and finish were again at the friendly Chequers Inn, Redbourn, just 3 miles from the M1 junction 9. Trailer & tow car parking was available a short distance away. Breakfast, snacks and drinks were available from 7.30am, and post-event meals/refreshments were on offer at very reasonable prices [the venue is a 'Chef & Brewer' Pub/Restaurant, and booking is not necessary]. Competitors as always were strongly encouraged to patronise the venue in order to ensure the facilities remain available for future use.
The event is now "Clubman" and was open to Falcon Motor Club members and members of Stroud & District M.C., MGCC, VSCC, Eastbourne & Ram M.C., West Suffolk M.C., Farnborough & District M.C., Eastwood & District M.C. and the MCC. A further 5 invitations to other clubs were available on a first come first served basis. A competition licence was not required.

Dina Group
Photo (Left to Right): Ana Maria C. B., Patricia del Carmen C. A., Mercedes Eugenia Rostran Guzman, Candida Rosa Sanchez y Leonor del Carmen Hernandez C.
This group is from the San Francisco region of the Nindiri municipality. All five members own different businesses and they have many years of working in their community. They have been with Adim (Kiva Field Partner) for many years and have demonstrated to be very responsible individuals, always on time with their payments. They are committed to the organization.
Ana Maria C. is a young woman. She sells food from her home, mostly pork dishes such as stews. The loan will be used to purchase pork to later make broths. She is mother of an adolescent son and she dreams of providing him with an education and to give him a better way oflife. She is so happy to have received help from this organization.
Patricia del Carmen C. is a very young woman and a hard worker. She sells clothing to individuals in her community. She is mother of a little boy who she supports by herself. She is a single Mom and this fact has given her the drive to work harder and put her son ahead of everything. She is going to school in Comarca, and she hopes to attend high school in Masaya.
Mercedes Eugenia Rostran is another member. She sells vegetables door to door, as well as prepared fruits. She delivers to her more steady clients. She is well known in her community. She buys in Masaya in wholesale markets. She has three young children that are going to school near their home. She takes care of them and she wishes to see them complete their studies so that they will know things she will never know.
Candida Rosa Sanches is the coordinator of the gorup. She is very responsible and the group has placed her in charge because she knows how to read better than the other members and she knows how to sign her name. She has been working in the markets since she was very young together with her Mom, selling fruits and vegetable. She coupled her loan with her own savings and now she has her own stand where she sells oranges, lemons, tamarind, onions, garlic, etc. She buys her products in the markets and in the regions close to where she lives.
She has three school-aged children, three adolescents and a little baby. They are attending school in the community and one goes to school in Masaya. She feels that one should move out of Comarca and study other courses there. Her work day starts at 3a.m. and ends at 2p.m.. On her way home from work she picks up groceries to make supper. She says that the loans have granted her the ability to purchase fruits in larger quantities and therefore increase her profit margin. She is alwaye encouraging her colleauges to be responsible so that they will continue to benefit from small loans for continued improvements.
Leonor del Carmen Hernandez sells fruits and vegetables in the Oriental market. She has been running this business for many years. She dreams of making some improvements to her home. She has two school-aged children, and one of them helps her with the business. With the loan she will increase her inventory and buy at better prices.

Additional Information
About ADIMLocated in Central America, ADIM is a small microfinance institution with a strong social focus. In the saturated microfinance market of Nicaragua, ADIM stands out for its emphasis on the holistic development of women as well as its provision of responsible financial services. Founded in 1989 by a small group of Nicaraguan women, this institution has remained true to its initial goal of providing its clients (90% of which are women) with an opportunity for economic growth, in addition to personal and professional empowerment. Supporting an ADIM borrower means contributing not only to the continued offering of the socially conscious services it provides, but also to the sustainable growth of a truly unique microfinance institution.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

These won't work well for a variety of reasons. Mainly it puts out a tiny amount of light (relatively speaking) when used in that mode. And it might not be long enough for the Speed graphic FP shutter, even in that mode. (Talking about the Oly F280 flash here.)

I haven't shot my Heiland with my 4x5 and Ektar 127 yet, but I shoot M3 bulbs with my 1950s Canon IVSB rangefinder. It's for fun factor and nostolgia really. I still find them cheap. A couple weeks ago I got 6 boxes of M3 an M3B rubber banded together at a thrift store for $5. That's 14 cents a pop.

I have 4 more tupperware cases filled with bulbs.

I shoot 4x5, and use both strobe and flashbulbs.
One reason to use flashbulbs is because they result in a different look than strobe. This may have to do with how black and white film reacts to flash bulbs vs. strobe. Flash bulbs give a longer duration blast of light than strobe, and with a broader spectrum of wavelengths of light. Film reacts differently with creamier highlights and improved shadow detail compared to strobe.
Flashbulbs are also light, powerful, and highly portable. They come in different output strengths, and are especially good for bounced light lighting.
Give it a try!

Who Wore It Better? Blue and Green Balenciaga Gladiator Sandals
You know the zeitgeist is in flux when Heidi Montag wears a Balenciaga item even before Sarah Jessica Parker! The reality starlet hit up NYC with Spencer on Wednesday, and took us all by surprise when she actually wore a cool outfit, complete with blue and green Balenciaga gladiator sandals. Then, the ever-so-lovely SJP filmed a commercial on Thursday in a Carrie-inspired outfit and the same exact Balenciaga shoes. I can't believe I'm doing this, but in this case, I prefer Heidi's outfit because it's more my style. Personalities aside, who do you think wore it better?

I don't know the nodal distance of the 150/4 APO Rodagon N. However, I have the nodal distance of the 150/5.6A EL Nikkor (1.2mm). That would inflate the true negative-to-print distance by 1.2 mm compared to the calculated value for the EL Nikkor. The error is small enough that the calculation is still sufficiently accurate for a reasonable estimate.
The nodal distance of the 150/4 APO Rodgon N is likely not greatly different than that of the 150/5.6A EL Nikkor.
A greater potential calculation error is the true focal length of the lens. A good example of this is the 50/2.8N EL Nikkor. Nikon gives its true focal length as 52.0 mm—4% greater than marked. Some makers supply this information. Others simply state the nominal focal length only.

The BBC has announced they're doing
a worldwide simulcast
of the anniversary special at 7 pm GMT, 2 pm EST, some way early time in Australia. I don't know if it's going to be a single feed going out from London (so no commercials) or if separate broadcasters will have the program ahead of time so they can format it, say for commercials, as necessary.
Wow, the 50th Anniversary will be on at 11:00 AM in the morning? That's fantastic.
I may still have to DVR it though.

Don't get attached to the actors in "The Incredible Hulk." All of them are sidelined for the last half-hour of the drab, monotonous film.
That's because the climax, which is more of a yawnax, is a battle between two computer-generated creatures: the Hulk and a bulked-up military guy who drank Hulk juice in an attempt to become the ultimate weapon.
The idea, of course, is that both characters transform into he-men whenever their pulse shoots up. But the transformed versions look so little like the actors who play the unstransformed versions — Edward Norton, as nice-guy scientist Bruce Banner, and Tim Roth, as the military creepo — that, for all we care about the outcome, we might as well be watching two giant chunks of chartreuse Play-Doh wrestle.
The story begins in a shack in Rio de Janeiro, where Banner moved in an attempt to avoid stress. (Good thinking, Mr. Brilliant Scientist — if you want to stay calm, move to the world's most impoverished slum and take a job at a decrepit, dangerous factory.) After Banner returns to America, he restarts a tragic romance with a cellular biologist played by Liv Tyler, who's lovely but does not exactly scream "cellular biologist." Briefly, the movie becomes a drab romance that is even less fun than the special-effects Hulk-off (Banner may turn muscled and green when he gets stressed, but when he gets romantic, he turns squishy and pink).
Just to show how misguided "The Incredible Hulk" is, director Louis Leterrier doesn't even notice the one decent scene in his movie.
Directed by: Louis Leterrier
Starring: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler
Rated: PG-13, for language and tons of violence
Should you go? The much-written-about "Iron Man" cameo is fun, but it's not worth sitting through two hours to get to. *

Sheryl Crow told federal investigators she saw Lance Armstrong doping: Report
Lance Armstrong's tell-all sit-down with Oprah Winfrey apparently hasn't dampened public interest in the cyclist's history of doping or the details surrounding it. In "Wheelmen," due out next Tuesday, Wall Street Journal reporters Reed Albergotti and Vanessa O'Connell allege that Crow witnessed her then-boyfriend Lance Armstrong getting a blood transfusion in 2004 on his private jet. "He explained that it was simply part of the sport -- that all cyclists were doing the same thing," the reporters write, adding that Armstrong didn't think Crow would ever share his secret with investigators or the press.
But when the feds came knocking on Crow's door in 2011, six years after the couple split, the singer was reportedly offered a deal to avoid criminal prosecution by cooperating and recounting what she'd seen. According to the book, quoted via the Washington Post, that's when Crow told a Food and Drug Administration criminal investigator that she'd seen her ex receiving the illegal transfusion.

Emerging-market real-estate investors from Asia are betting big
on Miami. And the potential jackpot can be huge, because they have
an opportunity to build profitable businesses (and even industries)
in a well-populated, but still surprisingly untapped market.
The city is a proxy for Latin America and its 560 million
people. And current pending development deals are clear signs that
the world recognizes Miami as a major global gateway city - one
that is key to economic growth for its southern and, now, even its
eastern neighbors.
This Company Is Set to Bet Big on Florida
In a surprise move, Malaysian gambling company Genting
(GMALY.PK) unveiled a $3 billion master plan for a huge destination
resort project right here in the United States.
Genting wants to build what could be the world's largest casino
on prime land along Miami's waterfront. The plans are in motion, as
the company has already spent about $450 million on real estate,
pledged to help rebuild part of an interstate highway and hired 23
lobbyists to press for legalizing casinos in Florida.
Genting's cash-rich status gives it an advantage over many
overburdened US casino operators, who embarked on building sprees
or leveraged buyouts just as the casino market in the US began to
sour. The company, which grew out of a single casino in Malaysia,
has holdings in a range of industries and made a reported $3.4
billion profit last year on $15 billion in revenue.
In Genting's case, the land is purchased, so plans are on track
to keep moving forward - even if the casino gambling battle doesn't
go exactly according to plan. The company bought prime downtown
real estate at a price that is attractive for a long-term investor
in this gateway city; it may simply have to adjust its timetable
for developing the property to its own specifications.
So, why Miami and not, say, destinations like Las Vegas or
Atlantic City where gambling is already legal? Well for Genting, it
also owns 50% of Norwegian Cruise Lines, which operates out of the
Port of Miami. So, it already has a vested interest in the area and
would benefit from increased tourism, particularly from
emerging-market travelers with money to spend.
Miami Market Heats Up for Another Emerging
In 2010, Greater Miami hosted a record 12.6 million overnight
visitors. And as a link between Latin America and the northeastern
US, Miami will draw 5 million more tourists a year - with windfalls
for airport concessions, local attractions, venues and hotels,
shops and tax coffers.
While this is not going to happen overnight, the key here is
that investing in the U.S real estate market is very attractive for
longer-term investors looking for solid returns.
But you don't have to buy property in Miami to make returns on a
potential real estate turnaround. All you have to do is look toward
the companies that are buying up the land at a steep discount and
watch what they're doing with it.
Another player in the recovering Miami commercial real estate
market is blue-chip conglomerate Swire Pacific Ltd. (SWRBY.PK), a
global real estate company based in Hong Kong. It unveiled plans
for Brickell CitiCentre, the $700 million retail, office, hotel and
condo tower project in the prestigious downtown area.
And this may not be the last international deal for Swire
Pacific, which sold Festival Walk, a multi-level shopping, dining
and leisure complex in Kowloon Tong, for HK$18.8 billion - the
most-expensive single retail real-estate transaction ever in Hong
In other words, they know something about successfully building
commercial real estate - and making their money back (and then
This company is one to put on your watch list, as Swire Pacific
has also applied to the Hong Kong stock exchange to list its real
estate unit Swire Properties and would distribute 18% of Swire
Properties shares to qualifying shareholders on January 18. The
long-awaited spin-off is meant to boost the profile of its property
and marine services business.
Forget "Location, Location, Location" - It's All about
"Cash, Cash and More Cash"
Since 2009, data from the Miami Association of Realtors has put
Miami at the top of the destination list for international
In the past, it was the South American developers from Venezuela
and Argentina who were normally involved in this market. Now the
shift that is taking place is that Asian investors have stepped in,
recycling US dollars and introducing larger projects to the
In fact, a prolific local condo developer named Jorge Perez has
been quoted as saying that South Americans "have effectively saved
the real estate market."
And in a recent statement to a Miami-based newspaper, Michael
Pappas, president and CEO of real-estate company The Keyes Co.,
said, "You're getting a lot of Venezuelans, Canadians, Brazilians
because they feel like there's a bargain."
Well, it looks like South America is getting a run for its money
from Asia - specifically, Hong Kong-based companies like Genting
and Swire … and, undoubtedly, many more to come from all over the
No matter where the companies are headquartered in the world,
these foreign buyers and investors are responding to Miami's
multiple draws: Location, a weakened U.S. dollar, fears of
political developments in their home countries, and real estate
that's cheap compared not only to 2005 prices, but also compared to
many other major cities both in the United States and abroad.
Is There a Good Way to Invest in These Real Estate
Before you pack up and head for Miami, even if it's just in your
portfolio, be careful about how you invest in this concept.
For example, if the ability to offer gambling comes through for
Genting, the company expects its project to come to fruition in the
next three to five years. But if not, it's more likely that the
resort (which is estimated to create 15,000 construction-related
jobs and another 30,000 additional jobs over time) will take about
15 years to build.
Remember, the company has a stake in Norwegian Cruise Lines, so
Miami real estate could be attractive to other companies operating
in the Port of Miami. Looking at those companies …
While there are some clear winners here, including the cruise
line companies that dominate the Caribbean routes, Carnival
Corporation (
) and Royal Caribbean Cruise (
), it's too early to invest in these two stocks yet.
Revenues from Mediterranean cruises have been clobbered by the
conflicts in the Middle East. And the disaster in Japan cut
bookings there, too. Higher oil prices have cut into earnings and
affluent investors are more skittish this season with higher market
volatility, passing up extra cruises and buying extra
dividend-paying stocks.
For now, it's best to watch this developing trend, and to take
note of how these emerging-market real estate deals can be a real
game-changer for US-based cities and, in turn, industries and
individual stocks.
I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to
initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

GENEVA — Ebola, the killer of more than 670 people in four countries since February, has spread beyond Africa only once. That doesn't mean it can't happen now, infectious disease experts warn.
Symptoms appear from two days to three weeks after infection, meaning an infected person who doesn't feel ill could board a plane, said Ben Neuman, a virologist at the University of Reading in Britain. Since Ebola in its earliest stages can resemble nothing more than flu, no one else would know either, he said.
"One person per plane load would have something that you would possibly call flu-like symptoms," Neuman said in a telephone interview. "Do you want to detain all those people coming into your airport? Do you have the manpower to do that, and send them all for testing? It's expensive, and difficult."
The question of trans-continent infection became more key this week after Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian government worker who flew to Lagos, Nigeria, on July 20, died from Ebola five days later. His death gave Africa's most populous nation its first case, a frightening hint at how global air travel may enable the spread of disease.
"We've known it's a risk ever since the beginning of the Ebola outbreak, and now it's finally happened," Neuman said. "He could have gone anywhere on this flight."
No special screening is being done at U.S. airports, Martin Cetron, director of global migration and quarantine at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, said Monday.
Ebolavirus first appeared in 1976 in two simultaneous outbreaks: in Nzara, Sudan, and in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo, according to the World Health Organization. The latter was in a village near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name.
There are five species of ebolavirus, three of which are associated with causing large outbreaks in Africa: Bundibugyo, Sudan and Zaire, which is responsible for the current outbreak. Tai Forest ebolavirus is known to have caused only one non- lethal human case. That was in Ivory Coast in 1994, according to a log of outbreaks by the WHO.
The fifth species, Reston ebolavirus, was first identified in 1990 in the Washington suburb of Reston, Virginia, and has been found in the Philippines and China. While it can infect humans, no illness or death in people have been reported.
People who may have been exposed to the virus are generally monitored for fever for 21 days, the CDC said. Only about 50 percent of patients show extreme symptoms that can include bleeding from the eyes, ears and nose. Others have only a fever as an early symptom.
Historically, Ebola virus disease in Africa has killed up to 90 percent of those infected. In this outbreak, the fatality rate is nearer 60 percent, said Stephen Monroe, deputy director at the CDC's National Center for Emerging & Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.
Early treatment may lead to higher survival rates, the agency said. With no cure for the disease, treatment focuses on replenishing fluids, maintaining proper blood pressure, replacing lost blood, and treating related infections.
The agency is sending out a health alert to U.S. doctors and health-care providers that will focus of the importance of asking patients about their travel history and outlining the symptoms of Ebola virus disease.
Ebolavirus isn't carried in the air like tuberculosis or flu, said David Heymann, a professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. It is spread by direct contact with an infected person's blood or other bodily secretions, including vomit, saliva or feces.
While an infected person who sneezes or coughs directly in another person's face could infect that person, Ebola primarily enters the body through tiny cuts or abrasions, or through mucus membranes of the eyes, nose, ears and mouth. The physical effect of the virus makes it less likely to spread through air travel, Neuman said.
"If you look at the numbers, there are probably about 300 people currently infected with Ebola virus, and most of those would be too ill to sit up or walk," Neuman said. "So the odds are small, but it is something that needs to be watched."
Health workers are more at risk than fellow travelers, doctors say, along with family members who touch or kiss the body of a victim during burial rites.
Two U.S. citizens have been infected: Kent Brantly, medical director of the Ebola center run by Samaritan's Purse in Liberia's capital of Monrovia, and Nancy Writebol, a worker at the center, the Boone, North Carolina-based charity said in a statement.
Both are both being treated at the center in Monrovia, and Brantly's family, now in the states, is under fever watch there in an "overabundance of caution," the CDC's Monroe during the briefing.
The U.S. is well prepared to handle infected patients with 20 CDC quarantine stations at U.S. airports that are designed to deal with anyone with symptoms of a wide range of infectious illnesses, including Ebola, the agency has said.
The State Department is closely tracking Ebola, is aware of reports about the two U.S. infected citizens and is updating travel warnings as information becomes available, said Jennifer Psaki, a department spokeswoman.
"In terms of what we're considering, I don't have anything to predict," Psaki said. "We're taking every precaution."
Lagos-based airline Arik Air said Monday it has temporarily suspended all flights to Liberia's capital, Monrovia, and Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown. Togo-based Asky Airlines, the carrier Sawyer took, said Tuesday it also suspended flights to the two cities.
Other airlines may take similar measures, said John Rose, chief operating officer at iJET International, which advises businesses on risk management in Africa.
"Airlines are asking the questions, 'At what point do we consider not flying to those countries? What happens if European countries shut off air space?' " Rose said by phone. "Those are realistic scenarios."
Government-level restrictions may also increase, including more detailed screening of arriving flight passengers and closing of borders and air space, he said.
Among global security situations iJET is monitoring, including Gaza and Ukraine, Ebola is at the forefront of the company's concerns as "Ebola is the one we have the least control over," Rose said.
The current outbreak has killed 672 people of 1,201 reported infections in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, the WHO said in a statement. Sawyer's death hasn't been officially confirmed as an Ebola case by the Geneva-based agency but is being regarded as probable.
Most of the cases have been reported in the region where the three countries' porous borders meet and people frequently cross without border checks by foot, vehicle or bicycle.
Fruit bats are thought to be Ebola's natural host, according to the WHO. Monkeys, chimpanzees, gorillas, porcupines and forest antelope can also be infected, and human outbreaks can begin when people eat the meat of infected animals.
The only case in which an Ebola victim was known to be taken out of Africa by aircraft came in 1994, when a 34-year-old Swiss zoologist became infected while performing an autopsy on a chimpanzee in Ivory Coast.
Eight days later, she developed chills, then diarrhea, an all-body rash and temporary memory loss. She was flown to Switzerland by air ambulance for treatment, accompanied by health workers wearing masks, gloves and gowns. She recovered without infecting anyone else.
The Ebola outbreak will be difficult to stop as it can easily "re-ignite" from even one case, the CDC's Monroe said. Even with no new cases, it would take 42 days for health workers to be sure the outbreak was over.
"The response to these outbreaks will be more of a marathon than a sprint," Monroe said.

Les Bleus, who needed to win by a 17-point margin or by 16 points with two tries to finish ahead of Ireland, were scoreless at halftime but tries to Wesley Fofana and Maxime Medard helped them end a seven-match winless streak in the championship.
Controversial flyhalf Frederic Michalak, who was replaced because of a shoulder injury 10 minutes from time to a standing ovation, kicked 11 points.
Winger Tim Visser scored a late try for Scotland, who finished third in the table behind champions Wales and runners-up England.
