Effective rents for new leases in the U.S. apartment sector climbed 3.0 percent during 2012, according to MPF Research, an industry-leading market intelligence division of RealPage, Inc. (NASDAQ: RP). The annual rent growth pace slowed throughout the year, after the rate of increase reached 4.8 percent in 2011. MPF Research analysts highlight the nation's latest apartment rent growth statistics as well as other key performance indicators that include a big jump in the number of units that will be delivered over the course of the near term in a discussion found at www.realpage.com/MPFQ4-2012-Report.
Rent growth over the past year remained a bit above the long-term norm of 2.5 percent recorded during the past two decades. An increase of 3.0 percent is similar to the average results posted during past periods when occupancy was sustained at strong and generally stable levels, according to MPF Research. Comparable annual price increases registered most recently from 2005 through the middle of 2008, and before that in the middle to late 1990s.
While U.S. apartment rents declined on average by a little more than 4 percent during the recession, they now have been moving upward for three full years. Late 2012 pricing topped the rates recorded in late 2009 by 10.5 percent.
"Property owners and operators generally aren't pushing rents quite as hard as they were a year or so ago," said Greg Willett, MPF Research vice president. "Many on the operations side of the apartment industry have focused on sustaining their very tight occupancy levels during a period when job growth and new household formation have been fairly sluggish at the same time that renter movement has begun to inch up from the unusually low levels experienced in the previous few years."
More renter movement in the apartment sector mainly reflects households opting for one apartment over another, according to the MPF Research analysis. Loss of renters to purchase in the now-improving for-sale housing market is having only a very small impact on apartment sector fundamentals, the firm's research shows. "While the number of apartment renters opting to buy is rising a little, it remains far below the levels apartment operators were accustomed to prior to the recession," Willett said. "Families that have been renting single-family homes, rather than apartments, comprise a big portion of the first wave of homebuyers seen in the cycle. By far the biggest component of the apartment resident base, particularly within large urban areas, consists of young singles living alone or young-couple households. Single-family homes just aren't the right housing option for many of them, regardless of shifts in the pricing relationship."
Locations experiencing the biggest jumps in the loss of apartment renters to purchase, in fact, tend to be places where the apartment sector's overall performance is running above the national norm. The MPF Research analysts cite Texas, the Carolinas, Nashville and Denver as key examples. "The most pronounced comebacks in the for-sale housing market are seen in spots where the overall economy is doing the best," according to Willett. "That means job additions and new household creation volumes are strong enough to quickly replace any apartment renters lost to purchase. The locations where people are buying homes are the same locations where recent college graduates are getting jobs and young adults who have been at home with their parents are now able to move out and live on their own."
Average occupancy of 94.9 percent registered in U.S. apartments at the end of 2012, up a tiny bit from the reading of 94.7 percent recorded at the end of 2011. End-of-year occupancy backtracked from the third quarter level of 95.4 percent, reflecting normal seasonality in the performance. When the nation's apartment occupancy rate bottomed during the recession, the late 2009 figure was 92 percent.
Demand for 112,900 apartments was posted across the country's 100 largest metros in 2012, according to the MPF Research data. That product absorption figure mildly surpassed completions totaling 91,500 units but was a little less than half of 2011's demand total and just a bit more than a third of 2010's unusually strong absorption result.
"It's not a coincidence that demand eased to levels near the delivery numbers in 2012 for the nation as a whole and across most individual metros," Willett said. "With the existing stock basically full almost everywhere, the only net absorption of units that could occur in many areas was limited to the demand that came from getting still-limited new supply through the initial lease-up process."
Among large individual metros, the three Bay Area markets of San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland ranked as the country's rent growth leaders in 2012. Effective prices for new leases jumped an even 8.0 percent in San Francisco, while upturns proved nearly as strong at 7.7 percent in San Jose and 7.1 percent in Oakland.
With pricing up 5.9 percent, the Denver-Boulder area was the nation's next-best performer, followed by Nashville and New York which each saw rents jump 5.1 percent. Rents climbed 4.8 percent in Houston, 4.6 percent in Charlotte, 4.4 percent in Portland, and 4.3 percent in Seattle-Tacoma.

Markets just missing the cut-off point to rank as top 10 rent growth performers were Detroit, West Palm Beach, Austin and Orange County. Pricing rose 3.7 to 4.1 percent in each of those locales.
Las Vegas was the country's sole large market that completely missed out on rent growth in 2012, as prices were cut 1.7 percent. Sizable spots with rent change barely in positive territory were Virginia Beach-Norfolk, New Orleans, Riverside-San Bernardino and Atlanta.
While apartment deliveries in 2012 remained fairly limited by past standards, construction starts did accelerate rapidly throughout the course of the year. The number of apartments under construction at the end of 2012 climbed to 224,000 units across the nation's 100 largest metros. Some 149,800 of those units are in properties where building is scheduled to wrap up in 2013. The number of units under construction now nearly matches the historical norm maintained from the mid-1990s to 2008. However, the distribution of the future supply is far different from the typical pattern, according to the MPF Research analysis.
- Markets across Florida plus Atlanta, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Riverside-San Bernardino haven't fully recovered from the downturns experienced during the recession. Thus, building remains appropriately restrained and well below historical norms in those locales. Those markets, which accounted for just over a fourth of all apartment construction that occurred in the nation's top 100 metros prior to the recession, now represent just 13 percent of ongoing building.
- It's largely business-as-usual in the nation's comparatively fast-growing economies where barriers to construction traditionally have been moderate to minimal. Building activity is very similar to pre-recession norms across most spots in Texas, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Denver.
- Very early in the cycle, developers pounced on quite a few places traditionally thought of as the nation's most difficult building environments, so near-term completions now are scheduled to come in at levels well above the historical norms in places such as New York, the Washington, D.C. area, San Francisco, San Jose, Orange County and the urban cores of Seattle, Chicago and Boston.
Looking beyond what's under construction now, the backlog of projects in the planning stages is very large, according to the MPF Research analysis. "It wouldn't be surprising to see starts come in at 250,000 or more units in the country's biggest metros during 2013," Willett said. "By the end of this year then, ongoing construction, inclusive of the 74,000 or so units now underway that won't finish until 2014, probably will be getting close to the high-water mark posted during the past couple of decades." That earlier cyclical peak was 357,000 units under construction across the nation's 100 largest markets as of late 1999.
Although MPF Research has some concerns about a brief supply-related bump in the road for the apartment market's performance during 2014 and perhaps 2015, look for 2013's performance to prove similar to the 2012 results. "Most places are starved for new product right now, so properties that will complete over the coming year appear likely to do incredibly well, generally without hurting the results for the existing stock," Willett said. Just having product moving through initial lease-up will translate to a tiny slide in overall occupancy, but the market should remain essentially full.
The firm expects rent growth to again register at about 3 percent, with the potential there that the number could prove a bit higher. "Operator attitudes will influence the final number," Willett said. "Increasing deliveries will stimulate more leasing activity, and an upturn in the number of people coming through the front door can trigger more confidence on the part of property managers, even if overall occupancy rate isn't moving in a meaningful way. Also, even the moderately stronger job growth volumes that most leading economists are anticipating during the second half of the year could help alleviate the uncertainty about future demand prospects that some apartment operators exhibited when setting prices over the past year."

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

China Combats Solar Downturn With Subsidy
The Chinese Ministry of Finance announced a new subsidy for solar installations that is expected to help the industry recover from recent price drops, according to Cleantech Group LLC.
Aimed at relatively large installations of 50 kilowatts or greater, the cash grant of RMB 20 ($2.90) per watt would apply to solar photovoltaic (PV) installations in China to encourage the adoption of solar technology in rural and urban markets. The Ministry of Finance has not yet established a limit on the total subsidy, but analysts predict it could be capped at about 180 megawatts, according to Cleantech.
Cleantech also reported that the solar installations in China must meet energy conversion efficiency guidelines: 16 percent for mono-crystalline-based PV modules, 14 percent for multi-crystalline-based PV modules, and 6 percent for amorphous silicon-based PV modules.
China had about 100 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity in solar at the end of 2007, with 47 MW added in 2008. The new subsidy represents a 48 percent decrease in the average cost for an installed watt worldwide of about $6.50, said Cleantech.
Ian Tharp, an analyst at Dundee Capital Markets, told Cleantech that Chinese-based solar companies such as LDK Solar, Renesola, Canadian Solar, Trina Solar, JA Solar Holding, China Sunergy, Suntech Power, Solarfun Power and Yingli Green Energy could be the biggest winners.
In January 2009, China Technology Development Group Corp. and Qinghai New Energy Group announced plans to build a 30-megawatt on-grid solar power station in Qaidam Basin of northwestern China. The project has a long-term target of 1 gigawatt of capacity, which could make it the biggest photovoltaic project in the world.
According to Ernst & Young's Venture Insights, China increased its cleantech venture capital investment from $30 million in 2007 to $84 million in the first half of 2008.
President Obama's stimulus proposal contained about $13.9 billion to subsidize loans for renewable energy projects, including solar.

Man struck by Long Beach maintenance truck at beach
A man is in unknown condition after being struck by a maintenance truck Tuesday morning at a beach in Long Beach, city officials said.
City spokeswoman Phalla Chau said that a beach maintenance crew member struck the man in a small truck that was conducting routine trash collection on the beach between 54th Place and 55th Place on the Long Beach Peninsula around 9 a.m.
The Long Beach Fire Department responded to the scene and transported the man, who was lying on the ground, to a hospital where he is undergoing care.
The City of Long Beach is investigating the incident, and no further information was available, Chau said.
City officials could not be reached to discuss the man's condition, and the Fire Department had no further information.

At Least 40 Civilians Killed as US Strikes Afghan Wedding Party
Afghan officials and local residents say that a US air strike struck an Afghan wedding party on Monday, killing at least 40 civilians and wounding 28 others (including the bride). The strike occurred in the Shah Wali Kot district of Kandahar Province. Reporters on the scene say that villagers are still search the debris for survivors, and the toll is expected to rise even further.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai warned that bombings were not the way to win the war on terrorism, and said he hoped President-elect Obama would make it a priority to stop killing Afghan civilians. US spokesman Commander Jeff Bender said an investigation is ongoing, and "if innocent people were killed in this operation, we apologize and express our condolences."
This is the largest incident of US-inflicted civilian casualties in Afghanistan in over two months. In late August, a US air strike in Herat Province killed 90 civilians and led to an increase in tensions between the Afghan government and the international forces.
The Herat strike was based on a false tip, according to the Afghan government. This strike came after US-led troops came under fire in the hilly area, but it is not as of yet clear why the wedding party ended up being the target of the air strike.

Selena Marie Gomez (/səˈliːnə məˈriː ˈɡoʊmɛz/ sə-LEE-nə mə-REE GOH-mez;Spanish pronunciation: [seˈlena ˈɣomes]; born July 22, 1992) is an American singer and actress. Born and raised in Grand Prairie, Texas, she was first featured on the children's series Barney & Friends in the early 2000s. In 2007, Gomez came to prominence after being cast in the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place, in which she starred as the lead character, Alex Russo, until its conclusion in 2012. She formed the band Selena Gomez & the Scene after signing a recording contract with Hollywood Records in 2008; they released the studio albums Kiss & Tell (2009), A Year Without Rain (2010), and When the Sun Goes Down (2011) before beginning a hiatus in 2012.
Gomez entered the film industry with star billings in feature films including Ramona and Beezus (2010), Monte Carlo (2011), and Hotel Transylvania (2012). She embraced an increasingly mature public image with her star billing in the film Spring Breakers (2013) and her 2013 debut solo studio album, Stars Dance. The latter project debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and included the Billboard Hot 100 top-ten single "Come & Get It." Gomez was released from her recording contract with Hollywood Records following the completion of her compilation album For You (2014). She subsequently signed with Interscope Records to continue work on her sophomore studio album, Revival (2015). It debuted at number one in the US and featured the top-five singles "Good for You" and "Same Old Love" and the top-ten single "Hands to Myself."
Cameron Jibril Thomaz (born September 8, 1987), better known by his stage name Wiz Khalifa, is an American recording artist, songwriter and actor. He released his debut album, Show and Prove, in 2006, and signed to Warner Bros. Records in 2007. His Eurodance-influenced single, "Say Yeah", received urban radio airplay, charting on the Rhythmic Top 40 and Hot Rap Tracks charts in 2008.
Khalifa parted with Warner Bros. and released his second album, Deal or No Deal, in November 2009. He released the mixtape Kush and Orange Juice as a free download in April 2010; he then signed with Atlantic Records. He is also well known for his debut single for Atlantic, "Black and Yellow", which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album for the label, Rolling Papers, was released on March 29, 2011. He followed that album with O.N.I.F.C. on December 4, 2012, which was backed by the singles "Work Hard, Play Hard" and "Remember You". Wiz released his fourth album Blacc Hollywood on August 18, 2014, backed by the lead single We Dem Boyz. In March 2015, he released "See You Again" for the soundtrack of the film Furious 7 and the song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
I do not mean to
make you unhappy
listen closely to the hesitant waves rolling in
kiss me forever
raindrops get blown by the wind
into the rushing river it flows
it flows into the sea
kiss me forever
lemondrops melt into my mouth
and creeps out of my pores
it flows, it flows into the sea
I come from venus
and you come from venice
you melt my heart with your little rebel smile
kiss me forever
teardrops fall down my face
seep down into the ground it flows
it flows into the sea
kiss me forever
moondrops rain down from the clouds
they glow as they spin and fall
and it lights up the sea

BYU basketball notebook: Matt Carlino playing his best basketball coming off the bench
Matt Gade, Deseret News
PROVO — During BYU's current five-game winning streak, guard Matt Carlino has been coming off the bench.
Carlino has embraced his role, and he's playing his best basketball of the season.
In the last three games, Carlino is averaging 16.5 points and nearly five assists per game. He had just two turnovers in 51 minutes in victories at San Francisco and Santa Clara last weekend.
And during that stretch, he's knocked down 9 of 16 3-pointers.
"Matt's been playing awesome," said guard Tyler Haws. "I feel like he's making everyone around him better. He's making good decisions in transition. He's getting us into our offense and shooting the ball well. When he's playing well, everyone else plays well."
NO HIGH SCHOOL REUNION: BYU guard Anson Winder was looking forward to facing Santa Clara's Evan Roquemore last Saturday.
"I actually grew up with Evan. We played on the same AAU team in fifth through sixth grade," Winder said. "I know him really well. I know his family really well."
However, Santa Clara announced just before tipoff that Roquemore, and another starter, John McArthur, would not play "for failure to uphold academic responsibilities."
Roquemore, who averages 11.6 points per game, did not attend the game "due to a violation of team rules."
"We went in expecting all of those guys to play," Winder said. "When I heard (Roquemore) wasn't going to play, I was a little disappointed because I love playing against him. But at the same time, I knew it would help us because he's such a great player."
LESSON LEARNED?: Haws drew two personal fouls in the first minute against Santa Clara, forcing him to the bench for the rest of the half.
It's something Haws said he'll learn from moving forward.
"It's hard to get a feel for the way the refs are calling the game," Haws said. "Each crew calls a game so differently, especially in league. I definitely have to be smarter and kind of get a feel for it in the first couple of minutes."
NOTES: Haws eclipsed Lee Cummard Saturday for 12th in career scoring and Mark Bigelow for 10th in career free throws made. Haws also scored in double figures for the 33rd straight game, which is tied for the eighth longest streak in BYU history with John Fairchild. Freshman forward Eric Mika scored in double figures for the 17th straight game. That streak is the second longest by a freshman.

On Dec. 23, a friend shared news of a Christmas miracle, of sorts. She had just cancelled nonrefundable Delta airline tickets from Minneapolis to New York City because her daughter had a sudden, raging fever. The person at Delta who accepted the cancellation waived the usual $150-per-ticket change fee, saving her family of three $450. Delta's contract of carriage is silent on the issue of sick passengers who want to delay a flight, so perhaps my friend benefited from a random act of holiday cheer. A cynic might say that during this busy flying season, Delta could easily fill those seats and probably had oversold the flight in the first place. But to my friend, the gesture felt like the best kind of present: unexpected and wonderful.

Arduino TRE Beta program opens fo 50 developers
Arduino launches an amazing beta program for Arduino TRE developers. Giving the novelty of the board and of the approach I think it's a great opportunity for you to experiment and give feedback!
We are excited to announce that starting today a limited batch of 50 Arduino TRE Developer Edition boards is available in the Arduino Store.
The Arduino TRE Developer Edition (see other pics) is a pre-production board. Its release kicks off our redesigned Beta Testing Program: anyone in the community who purchases the board will be able to give us feedback and suggestions in a new, direct way.
After buying the board you'll receive an invitation to join the beta-testing program, as a beta-tester you will be able to contribute to the development of the board by signing up for tasks and projects. You'll be working alongside the Arduino and BeagleBoard.org teams on tasks such as writing examples, testing libraries and external hardware, and making projects. Completed tasks will be rewarded with a special program of benefits, including the possibility of featuring your project on the Arduino blog and receiving a coupon for the same value of the TRE Developer Edition you purchased. We will be beta-testing the board for about three months.

Gunman takes $1.3M in Campbellville post office robbery
An armed man managed to escape with roughly $1.3 million in cash after robbing the Campbellville Post Office yesterday morning.
According to the police, at approximately 8:35 am, the robber, who was armed with a handgun, entered the Campbellville Post Office, where he held up the Postmaster and staff, stole the cash, and escaped on a waiting motorbike.
Public Relations Officer of Guyana Post Office Corporation Telesha Whyte subsequently told Stabroek News that details of the robbery are still sketchy. While noting that the police are currently investigating, she said that sum of money reported to have been taken by the robber is only the initial finding and explained that the office is being audited to discover if there are additional losses.
As a result of the robbery, the post office was closed for the day.
