Reports Show Strain of Health Costs
If you need any more evidence that the growth in health-care costs is unsustainable, take a look at two reports out this week.
Today, the Medicare trustees issued their annual assessment of the government insurance program's fiscal health. The prognosis: the trust fund (covering hospital stays) will be exhausted in 2024, as the WSJ reports. That's five years earlier than they predicted last year; the sluggish economy has led to lower payroll taxes, but health costs keep going up.
And even that forecast comes with an asterisk. The long-term outlook for the trust fund and the Medicare Part B program, which pays for physician' services, depends on assumptions that are "inevitably highly uncertain," the report says:
New technologies and interventions will continue to expand the capabilities of medicine and to affect the cost of health care in ways that are difficult to predict. Private stakeholders are redoubling their efforts to curb cost growth, but the extent of their success and the effects of these endeavors on Medicare's costs are yet to be determined. Also unknown is how effective the significant federal health legislation enacted in 2010 will be at moderating cost growth for Medicare. If the legislation's cost-reducing innovations in the delivery of and payment for health services were not successful, or if health care providers could not accommodate the slower growth in Medicare payment rates mandated by the new law, Medicare costs would be significantly higher than shown in the Trustees Report.
But it's not just Medicare that's going to be strained. The latest Milliman Medical Index, which measures the total cost of health care for a typical family of four covered by a preferred provider plan (PPO), rose 7.3% to $19,393 in 2011. The per-employee cost more than doubled between 2002 and 2011. And the employee's share of that cost now stands at 39.7%.
Outpatient care had the biggest cost hike, at 10%, followed by inpatient care (8.6%), pharmacy costs (8%) and physician care (4.4%).
And that health-care overhaul law? It isn't yet significantly driving or curbing costs, the Milliman report says. But as with the Medicare trustees, researchers point to certain elements of the law that have the potential to do so in the future, namely changes in minimum coverage requirements, insurance premium rate reviews, the individual mandate and expanded Medicaid coverage and health-insurance exchanges scheduled to roll out in 2014.

Delta Begins Regional Jet Service between Sun Valley
"Delta Begins Regional Jet Service between Sun Valley and Salt Lake City in January"
Sun Valley, ID……Delta Air lines (NYSE: DAL) will introduce jet service on its Sun Valley to Salt Lake City route beginning January 6, 2014. The flights will be operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest Airlines using 65-seat, two-class Bombardier CRJ-700s. Each aircraft is equipped with nine First Class seats, eight Economy Comfort seats and 48 economy seats as well as on-board Wi-Fi.
The change to a larger aircraft will add approximately 3100 additional Delta seats into SUN in 2014, with three round-trip flights per day during peak winter and summer seasons and two round-trip flights per day during the off-peak time periods.
Friedman Memorial Airport manager Rick Baird said this would be one more positive enhancement to air service for both local residents and visitors. "While the daily flight frequency will be reduced in the short term because of the increase in seat capacity of the jets versus the turboprops, we are optimistic this new aircraft, along with competitive fares and enhanced cooperative marketing between our community and Delta Air Lines, will encourage more people to fly SUN", he remarked. "And if we can fill these additional seats, we can continue to discuss additional frequency with Delta, because we know that is very important for our business and leisure travel market here," he added.
Flights can be booked at www.delta.com

Movie Nights with Jem Cohen
Wednesday, July 15 - Thursday, September 3, 2009
Resolutely independent filmmaker Jem Cohen (Chain, Benjamin Smoke, Instrument) presents three nights of sneak previews, premieres and discussion with special guests including Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto from Fugazi and filmmaker/photographer John Cohen.
"Cohen's music works are of a piece with his other movies. Fiercely intelligent independent films that mix documentary with experimental narrative techniques, they are haunting, hypnotic and utterly unique. They are filled with moments, visions, stray fragments of places and lives that directors fixated on spectacle would miss." – SF Said, London Daily Telegraph
"Cohen's freeform assemblages triumphantly assert a unique mode of viewing the world, marbled with a hypnotic, fugitive poetry of the everyday for once that overworked adjective, 'essential' is not inappropriate." – Kieron Corless, Time Out, London

Deprivation responsible for 450 breast cancer deaths each year
Published by University of Leicester Press Office for University of Leicester in Health and also in Care and Support, Education
Deprivation could be responsible for around 450 deaths from breast cancer every year in England as women in lower income groups are likely to be diagnosed when the disease is more advanced, and treatment is less effective.
Research presented today at the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) Cancer Conference in Liverpool, and funded by Cancer Research UK, examined the effect deprivation has on the stage at which women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and how many lives are lost as a result.
The researchers, based at the Universities of Leicester and Cambridge, looked at the stage of breast cancer in over 20,000 women diagnosed between 2006-2010 using data from the National Cancer Registration Service (Public Health England). They then calculated the number of lives that would be saved within 5 years of diagnosis if the stage at diagnosis for all deprivation groups matched those of the most affluent women.
The study estimates that 40 lives would be saved every year in Eastern England if these socioeconomic differences were removed, equivalent to around 450 lives saved in the whole of England every year.
Dr Mark Rutherford, of the University of Leicester Department of Health Sciences, said: "Research has shown that diagnosing breast cancer at an earlier stage has a significant impact on the chances of survival. Our study highlights that we could make major improvements in terms of the number of early deaths that are seen for women living in more deprived areas by ensuring that these women are diagnosed earlier."
Dr Gary Abel, statistician at the University of Cambridge and study author, said: "These avoidable deaths are not due to differences in the response to treatment, or the type of breast cancer. Rather these are deaths that might be avoided if cancer was caught as early in women from deprived backgrounds as those from more affluent backgrounds.
"The reason for this inequality may be a combination of these women being less aware of breast cancer symptoms and a greater reluctance to see their GP."
Dr Julie Sharp, head of health information at Cancer Research UK, said: "Other research shows that women from deprived backgrounds are more likely to feel embarrassed or worried about going to their GP – but it's important for women to take that step as going to the GP promptly could make all the difference.
"All women should be aware of how their breasts normally look and feel because we know that early diagnosis is one of the most important factors in whether breast cancer treatment is effective."
The researchers from the University of Leicester Department of Health Science are Dr Mark Rutherford, Dr Sally Hinchliffe, and Professor Paul Lambert.

ELKINS - Randolph County Circuit Court Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong admitted to a two-year-long affair with North Central Community Corrections Executive Director William Travis Cater in her official response to charges issued April 17 and released to the media Monday by the West Virginia Judicial Investigation Commission.
The JIC cited Wilfong for violating four canons of the judicial code of conduct, including:
* Canon 1: A judge shall uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary.
* Canon 2: A judge shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all of the judge's activities
* Canon 3: A judge shall perform the duties of judicial office impartially and diligently.
* Canon 4: A judge shall so conduct the judge's extra-judicial activities to minimize the risk of conflict with judicial obligation.
Thirty-five separate counts are listed within the four primary charges in connection to the affair, which began in October 2011 and concluded in October 2013 when Wilfong self-reported to the JIC.
JIC documents reveal that Wilfong's law clerk, Mary Catherine Wendekier, Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Parker and attorneys Christopher Cooper, R. Mike Mullens, Heather Weese, Raymond LaMora and David Wilmoth all filed complaints in addition to the judge's self-report.

The mortgage provider at the heart of the buy-to-let boom has resumed lending for the first time in two years after securing a £200m loan that will allow it to take advantage of rising rents.
Paragon was the third largest buy-to-let lender in Britain, issuing one in 10 of all landlord mortgages, until the credit crunch forced it to freeze lending nearly three years ago.
The shares tumbled from a peak of more than £10 to less than 60p, and in January 2008 the company launched a heavily discounted rights issue.
Paragon began lending again on Tuesday after securing a £200m revolving credit facility. It is poised to refinance the mortgages through a £250m-£300m securitisation, most likely in the first half of next year.
Nigel Terrington, chief executive, said he had been encouraged by Royal Bank of Scotland's recent £4bn securitisation and by attempts by Investec to securitise a "non-standard" loan portfolio, including some subprime assets.
"What we're looking at is something modest in size and although it's non-standard, we're a cautious organisation," said Mr Terrington. "We've been talking to bond investors for months now and the demand is definitely there."
The portfolio will have a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75 per cent.
The UK buy-to-let market, which peaked at £40bn a year in 2007, is now worth barely a quarter of that. But Paragon is aiming to get back to its historic market share of about 10 per cent, which would mean it writing about £1bn of new mortgages a year.
The market is dominated by Lloyds and Nationwide, which between them account for an estimated three-quarters of new buy-to-let mortgages.
The move could signal a revival of the buy-to-let market. Rents have been rising as first-time buyers struggle with tighter mortgage conditions requiring a large deposit. A drop in the number of new homes being built has also raised demand for rental properties.
Shares in Paragon rose 6.6p to close at 169.9p.

Kermit the Frog's Conflicts of Interest
In the latest push for more reporting of possible conflicts of interest in medical research, a big group of medical journal editors is going to require more disclosures from researchers, including relevant political affiliations and financial holdings of spouses.
Here's a WSJ story on the new rules. Here's an explanation from the group, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, and here's what the new disclosure form looks like.
The editors have also provided a sample form filled out by one "Kermit The Frog." It may surprise you to learn that The Frog, who is submitting a manuscript called "The effects of Sunstop on the function of sunlight on frog skin slime," has many conflicts to declare.
Sunlight Stop Inc., which funded the trial, also paid The Frog to write the manuscript, gave him a laptop to write it and paid for him to attend an investigators' meeting. The Frog lists a bunch of other financial ties as well, including holding options on shares of Tadpole Inc., a company that also contributes to a college fund for his children and pays for a car that his wife drives.
Full Disclosure: In the spirit of transparency, we'll disclose that the Financial Times's science blog also noted The Frog's conflicts.

Dallas Commissioner John Wiley Price defends nonprofit Kwanzaa Fest event
Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price went on the offensive this morning, holding a press conference to decry a county investigation of constables that has raised questions about his free annual Kwanzaa Fest event.
County Judge Jim Foster yesterday released a report by the county's special investigator, Danny Defenbaugh, that says deputy constables received compensation from Dallas County for working security at Kwanzaa Fest.
Price accused Foster of trying to "besmirch" his annual event. He said he's never had trouble getting volunteers from law enforcement for security in the past.
Price said his nonprofit organization, Kwanzaa Fest Inc., has no money set aside for security and could not afford to pay off-duty officers or deputies to provide security like other organizations do.
Price said complaints about being coerced into working for free are coming from disgruntled employees.
The following is from a news release issued by Kwanzaa Fest's president:
"KwanzaaFest is proud of its 20 year record of bringing Emancipation, Education and Enterprise to this community and refutes the baseless and politically motivated charges that have surfaced at the hands of Dallas County Judge Jim Foster and others who seek to besmirch its reputation. KwanzaaFest is a fully compliant 501 c3 that has become one of the most successful cultural institutions in Dallas and the largest of its kind in the Southwest United States.
"Last year alone, KwanzaaFest provided more than 31,000 health screenings that included every area of health care delivery and preventive health measure from hypertension to breast cancer. As a matter of record, in 2009, some three quarters of a million dollars in health care value was administered to citizens in Dallas and throughout the metroplex area who generally find themselves uninsured or otherwise incapable of securing their basic health needs.
"KwanzaaFest, for the balance of its existence has met the security mandates of the City of Dallas and its requirements by deploying more than 80 officers at each event. Last year, the Dallas Police Department partnered with the KwanzaaFest committee and provided counsel and support to ensure that the event was safe for some 50,000 patrons who visit the two day festival annually.
"KwanzaaFest is concerned that the reports of a small group of those officers who are disgruntled or have been compromised may have stained the valiant efforts of law enforcement officers that come from a myriad of in the city and county. KwanzaaFest Inc. operates with the full trust and support if this community and more importantly adhere to every federal and local guideline as appropriate.
"We completely denounce the outrageous claims and charges made by a hand full of elected officials and their operatives who have a political ax to grind. It is unfortunate that the work of thousands of volunteers and friends of this community have been subjected to such an unscrupulous litany of lies and libel manufactured for the sole purpose and benefit of a few misplaced politicians.

The Last Place by Laura Lippman
FeaturesAudio CD
Amazon.com Baltimore PI Tess Monaghan knows what to do with a jerk who prowls the Internet looking for love in all the wrong places: pretend to be smitten, slip one of his own date-rape drugs into his drink, cover him with depilatory cream, and leave him in a public place so he'll be too ashamed to do it again. It's hard to follow an opening chapter like that, but Lippman manages it nicely, putting her smart-mouth series sleuth in court-ordered anger-management counseling. The sessions with her shrink spur a most uncharacteristic-for Tess--reflection on five cold-case homicides she's investigating for a foundation lobbying for increased funding for domestic abuse programs. They don't seem to be connected, but with the help of the retired Toll Facilities cop who discovered the head of one of the victims in the middle of his bridge, Tess discovers a serial killer no one even knew existed--until he made Tess his next target. This is the seventh outing in a lively, Hardcover edition.
Reader Reviews
Another Tess Monaghan mystery, September 13, 2003
Fred Camfield
from Vicksburg, MS USA
The novel starts out with an interesting prelude to the main story when Tess and her friend Whitney defoliate a would be rapist. From there the story progresses to the main plot about a serial killer with a strange compulsion. Tess and a new found associate link together a number of seemingly unrelated homicides, including a disappearance and an "accidental" death from the distant past. Details of her own past emerge, partly from discussions with a psychiatrist she is seeing as part of a plea bargain agreement. Tess still has her boyfriend, Crow, and her two dogs, but they play minor roles. She bumbles about a bit, and almost gets herself killed in the manner of independent investigators created by various authors. There are some side details of Baltimore, Maryland's eastern shore, etc., and a view of some of the sleazy underside of life.

Late Middle English (in grammatical use): via Old French from Latin masculinus, from masculus 'male'.
macho from [1920s]:
When Mexicans described a man as macho, it was usually to compliment him on his vigour and virility. But when English-speaking Americans adopted the word from Mexican Spanish in the 1920s it acquired overtones of 'masculine in an overly assertive or aggressive way'. The Spanish word macho derives from Latin masculus 'male', the source of masculine (Middle English). Machismo, also from Mexican Spanish and based on macho, dates from the 1940s.

New Orleans Saints safety Jairus Byrd has had back surgery and is expected to return to team activities next week, the team announced Thursday.
Head coach Sean Payton said at the Saints' first OTA open to the media that the surgery "didn't need to be done." Byrd and the team thought it best to have the surgery to get the situation cleared up.
Payton said that if Byrd had the same issues during the regular season, he would have just received treatment instead of surgery.
"He'll start up with training camp with no problem," Payton said.

As hedge fund manager William Ackman built his big stake in Allergan over the better part of two months, traders say he unavoidably left footprints for others to follow – even if they didn't know what trail they were on.
Traders using complex computer models, or simply watching for unusual trading volume changes, likely sniffed out something was going on with Allergan Inc.'s shares weeks before Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, aligned with Mr. Ackman, made public a bid Tuesday for the Botox maker, market watchers say.
Traders say the episode underscores the logistical difficulties facing investors trying to move big chunks of stock over a short time frame at a time when computerized trading has made it more difficult than ever to stay under the radar even for relatively small trades.
John Spallanzani, director of institutional sales and trading at broker GFI Group Inc., sends updates to clients throughout the day about signs of unusual trading.
"Sometimes you don't even know what the news is, but you know it's out there," he said. "It gets out there and definitely affects the way the stock starts to trade."
Mr. Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management LP built a nearly 10% stake in Allergan after agreeing to team with Valeant on a bid. Pershing Square declined to comment.
There is no indication investors were tipped off about Valeant's offer.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is examining unusual trading in Allergan shares before the bid by Mr. Ackman and Valeant was announced, according to a Wall Street Journal report, citing a person close the situation.

But it wouldn't have taken much information for traders to see that something was happening in Allergan stock, even before Mr. Ackman engaged in what he called a "rapid accumulation program" of Allergan securities between April 11 and April 21. Pershing first began building the position on Feb. 25.
That path was left in Allergan's unusually high trading volumes, higher options prices and roaring stock price in the weeks before Valeant made its proposal, though Mr. Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management LP massed his Allergan stake mostly through over-the-counter options, relatively anonymous bilateral contracts between the client and a Wall Street bank.
These differ from the puts and calls that trade on exchanges that are available for all to see.
Ripples of large OTC transactions can spill into the broader stock market and listed options. That is because trading desks at banks could look to offset their risk by buying or selling stocks or options that trade on exchange. Traders said higher options and stock-trading volumes in Allergan were hard to miss.
"OTC options eventually leak back into the listed market," said Steve Sosnick, senior trader at Timber Hill, the market-making unit of Interactive Brokers. "The trail may be subtle, but the counterparties have to hedge somewhere."
Take Allergan's so-called "implied volatility," a measure of the prices that investors are willing to pay for options. This metric for Allergan started a rocket ride higher on April 4, a day that documents filed with regulators show Pershing Square was in the OTC options market. Allergan's implied volatility shot from 20.5 on April 4 to 34.8 on April 21, just before reports of the deal, according to data provider LiveVol.
And from April 4 through April 21, Allergan's daily listed options volume tripled while its stock shot up 14.5%.
"There are times when you say, 'there was no real tell,'" Mr. Sosnick said. "That was definitely not the case here."

October 11, 2012 - Tanning beds have long been linked to skin cancer, and now researchers say the earlier people use them, the greater their risk. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco analyzed tanning bed and cancer studies going back to 1977. They found people younger than 25 who used tanning salons had a significantly higher risk of developing non-melanoma skin cancer than someone who never tanned indoors. At least 170,000 cases of skin cancer each year are linked to indoor tanning, according to an analysis published online in the British medical journal.
Also, as cold season gets underway, researchers say, don't turn to vitamin D for relief. New Zealand scientists say it doesn't help fight colds. They followed 322 adults for more than a year and found no difference between the group that took vitamin D and those who didn't. The study is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

DERBY, United Kingdom - Get your resumes ready: Norton Motorcycles has purchased historic Donington Hall on 26 acres in the English countryside, inside the Donington Grand Prix Circuit, and will turn it into its corporate headquarters.
The main building was constructed in 1790; however, it features modern office and meeting facilities inside. The nearby 45,000 sq. ft. Hastings Hall (see photo below) will become Norton's production facility.
Norton purchased the estate from British Airways.
"It became clear some time ago that we had outgrown our current location. To be able to move less than a mile down the road to an outstanding facility like Donington Hall is ideal," said Stuart Garner, CEO of Norton Motorcycles. "It will allow Norton to grow our manufacturing business with focus on 'built in Britain by British hands,' export growth and job creation."
The Donington Grand Prix Circuit complex is home to the 2013 rounds of the World and British Superbike championship, along with motorcar road racing, vintage racing, rock concerts and a Formula One race car museum.
"Where else in the world can one tour an 18th century Gothic Revival mansion, view a Norton Motorcycle being built, watch a World Superbike race and attend an Iron Maiden concert all at the same place?" said Norton's Dan Van Epps.

According to PRNewswire and the PulteGroup, Millennials continue to show a strong interest in purchasing a home. For renters ages 18-34 with an income of more than $50,000, 65 percent indicated their intention to buy has significantly increased in the past year.
The catch? Most Millennials aren't moving into their first home on their own. Ideally, 76 percent said they plan to live with a spouse or significant other, and if not coupled they anticipate having a roommate, which could mean a friend, parent, in-law, grandparent or sibling living with them.
Even after witnessing the housing boom and bust, Millennials still view a home as an investment. Their number one reason for buying or the desire to buy is to build equity; the second reason is being tired of apartment living.
What do Millennials Want in a Home?
Today's buyers want a lot of value in a home and for it to make efficient use of every space. The single most important home feature to a Millennial buyer is the floor plan layout. In fact, an overwhelming 69 percent want an open/layout space in the kitchen and family rooms for entertaining family and friends.
According to PulteGroup's internal buyer surveys, Millennials found the following aspects in a new home as extremely important/very important:
The Best Way to Reach Them
The Internet is the primary source of information for home shoppers today – more than 90 percent of plugged in Millennials research their home search online. They really do their homework and use several resources to make such an important decision.
PulteGroup uses a variety of ways to reach them, from mobile apps to chat rooms to visiting model homes and designing homes online. They have successfully provided a variety of ways for Millennials to get the information they want, when they want and any way they want.

For most people, building a new home starts with a list of "must haves" and a list of luxuries that it would be nice to have.
Some new home amenities have transitioned over the years from being considered luxuries to being standard additions to today's custom home designs. One of those amenities is a home elevator. Once thought to be an item exclusively talked about by Robin Leach, home elevators are actually becoming increasingly common for both contemporary and traditional homes.
Because of multiple levels, a home elevator would obviously allow everyone in the family access to the entire house, even after their mobility may be compromised.
What about the cost of a home elevator? When you consider that a home elevator becomes one of the most-often used elements of a new home, the investment is wise, as it will also increase the resale value of your home up to 10%. A home elevator can also help to avoid injury or damage when transporting objects from one floor to the next.
Another concern may be the space it takes to incorporate a lift or elevator into either an existing home or new home plans. Some companies have released a new option: customizable cab sizes and the ability to remotely locate its control box, eliminating the need for a machine room.
What do you think about home elevators becoming the new standard? Would it be worth the investment in your new home?
"Language forces us to perceive the world as man presents it to us." ~Julia Penelope
How you choose your verbal packaging when making a presentation can make or break a sales opportunity. Below are five sets of words that repel versus engage your prospect.
Cost vs. Investment
When people hear the word "cost" they automatically associate it with loss, or money being wasted. An investment makes people feel they are certain to get a return. In both cases money is being spent; however cost feels like money that's never coming back and investment feels like money that's working for you.
Problem vs. Challenge
Never use the word problem with your prospects or sales team. It has such a negative connotation and is usually associated with pain. People will almost always choose the path of least resistance. A challenge simply seems like a bump in the road, or something that can be overcome with a little effort.
Contract vs. Agreement
Contracts sound like they are set in stone and can never be reversed. People in general do not like to have their freedom restricted. When choosing agreement, it is perceived that two parties weighed out the risks and benefits and have come to a decision that is in the best interest of both.
Expensive vs. Top of the Line
Expensive, like cost, can feel like money being wasted, or overpriced. Top of the line really helps someone feel like they are getting the best of what's available and that they are worth it.
Cheap vs. Economical
I don't know anyone that likes associating with the word cheap. Especially when it feels like the quality of a product or service is compromised – you get what you pay for. Economical empowers people, as they believe they made a smart decision or purchase.
What words really repel or engage you when making a purchase decision?
Have you been dreaming of a vacation home? Are you resigned to the idea that the current market is making your dream impossible? Think again!
Second homes/vacation/pre-retirement homes are priced right. If you were even remotely thinking of buying, there will probably never be a better time. Prices are reduced, and many distressed deals are being purchased at .30 cents on the dollar.
Conversely, beware when purchasing distressed properties because you won't know the future of the project. Is there an active HOA to manage finances and other issues? What happens if an investor buys the project? How would the future inventory be priced? Unfortunately, along with affordable pricing comes a lot of unknowns.
At Idea Associates, most second home purchases we are seeing for our clients are cash deals. Anywhere from downsizing to Intown Condos to planned retirement housing in second home neighborhoods – many are bought with cash. The price is lower so buyers can afford to pay with cash, especially since most can't get financing anyway with banks' new stringent policies.
With the future so unsure, most buyers don't' believe they are making money in investments for these second homes, so they are choosing to buy something they want for the future instead.
Have you personally considered taking advantage of the prices and buying a second home? If you're a builder, developer or agent – what are the trends you are seeing?
A wise client of mine has said many times: the government had one good finance program. Congressional wisdom said, if we have one program working well, why not three? Right! So was born Fannie and Freddie.
Although the expansion has made home ownership easier and a profit for investment institutions, insurance companies, and developers/builders, it wasn't 100% positive for America – thus the foreclosure rate and an economy that almost imploded a year ago. But we rode the tide; and it was great for a lot of people, including Idea Associates.
Regardless of the current state, I think that renting will be popular for many years due to these and other circumstances:
A series of new rules, regulations and policies have changed the landscape of first-time homebuyers, resulting in the buying experience being harder and more expensive.
First-time buyers used to account for 40% of home sales. Now they're down to 29% and falling, experts say, as first-time buyers confront a steady accumulation of rising fees, costs, and rates. Lenders are requiring larger down payments, and new proposals call for mortgages to become more expensive and limited in size.
This, of course, is in response to the devastating mortgage losses of the last several years. Banks and other lenders lost billions of dollars on subprime and other risky mortgages, and some must now buy back bad loans they sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The window of opportunity for first-time buyers may be closing. Home prices still seem to be near the bottom, mortgages are still cheap and interest rates are still low, but for those who don't want to wait, here are some new rules for first-time home buyers.
More money down
As housing prices drop, mortgage lenders are requiring larger downpayments on homes.
It's unlikely that a first-time home buyer can save so much money for a down payment, especially in high-priced markets and might need to consider alternative options to get cash. Buyers may have to be open to co-owning a home: signing up for a mortgage with a co-applicant who has extra cash to put down but wants a stake in the property.
Stay longer
Not only are the days of flip-and-move long gone, but buying a house has become truly a long-term investment. Experts predict very slow growth in home prices over the next 10 years, which means it will take a long time before sellers can make a profit.
For first-time buyers, this means sticking to a home that requires few major projects, which builds equity with the passing of time.
More competition
Over the past few months, investors, international buyers, and downsizing retirees have made a noticeable impact on the market, because they're paying with cash.
To stand out, first-time buyers may have to present an offer with few contingencies; there's little reason for a seller to work with someone who requests repairs or asks them to cover the closing costs.
How do you see these changes affecting the first-time homebuyer market?

Questions answered on this page: Clarify cord configurations on central vacuum power units for all brands. What is the vert position of the cord on larger units? What is the difference between the motors in 110 and 220 units? What is the difference between 110, 120 and 220, 240? Is one better? What happens if 240 motors are plugged into 110 and the other way around?
(If under 15 amps, a regular every day 3-prong plug is used on a standard 20 amp 110 volt circuit.)
For example, this is for MD's SilentMaster S5 -
110 volt model. A 5ft cord extends from the bottom right side of the unit with this configuration.
For example, this is for MD's SilentMaster S2 and S5 240 volt models. A 5ft cord extends from the bottom right side of the unit with this configuration.
Are the motors the same in the 220 and 110 versions of central vacuums? No, the motors are wound differently, the transformer is different, the minibreakers are different, and the cord and wiring are different. Please therefore, be sure to specify with your installer exactly which power unit you desire.
What is the difference between 110/120 and 220/240 volts and is one better?
Sometimes 120 volts is referred to as 110 volts or 115 volts and 240 volts as 220 volts or 230 volts.
As a central vacuum manufacturer we use the 120 and 240 volt motors, not the 110 or 220 volt ones. The 120 and 240 motors will not be adversely affected if used with lower voltages. The 120 volt motor will be fine on a 110 volts. And a 240 volt motor will be fine on 220 or 230 volts. But not the other way around. A 220 volt motor would be "damaged" if used for long periods of time on a 240 volt circuit. And the same for a 110 volt motor running on 120 volts. The motors we use will also run fine any variation of 50-60Hz.
MD Manufacturing is one of the few manufacturers to offer all their central vacuum units in both 120 volt and 240 volts.
Is one better? For the most part, our motor manufacturer has very similar performance statistics between the voltages. Our 120 volt Silent Master S5, for instance has 139 waterlift and 191 CFM with a peak of 905 Air Watts. The 240 volt version has 136.4 waterlift and 190 CFM with a peak of 866 Air Watts. These stats are extremely close. But there is quite a difference in our Silent Master S2. The 120 volt has 85 waterlift and 183 CFM with a peak of 514 Air Watts. It's 240 volt counterpart has 95 Waterlift and 208 CFM with a peak of 722 Air Watts. That is actually a significant difference. So for the price, the 240 volt S2 is worth the extra power but the S5 is not.
Operating Cost. The cost to operate a 240 volt vacuum unit can possibly be less than its 120 volt counterpart because both phases of the power are being used simultaneously. But even the 120 volt version may not be wasting much power if the opposing circuit is being used by lights or other appliances (not large ones) at the same time. Worst case scenario, the 120 volt version might cost 12 cents per hour additional to operate.
Duration of Life. We personally feel that the 120 volt versions of the vacuum motor will last longer. They contain a higher amount of copper and thus the heat has a greater ability to dissipate. The 120 volt motors are also much easier to find replacements for as they are a common motors in the industry. The 240 volt version motors are not used very often and vacuum shops around the country do not normally stock it. They would first stock the 120 volt motors.
For some homes, they may be close on the maximum amperage for their panel and thus the 240 volt version offers the best benefits. We sell far more 120 volt units because they simply plug into any 20 amp electrical outlets and have plenty of vacuuming power.
What happens when 240 is accidently plugged into 110 and 110 into 240? If you plug a 120 volt unit into a 240 volt circuit and immediately turn the motor(s) on they will run with a tremendous amount of suction. The motors will be spinning almost 40,000 RPM ! If you run it very long the motors may disintigrate. But before that happens, the transformer will likely burn out. This will immediately shut the motor(s) off.
Normally all you need to do is replace the transformer and the system will be as good as new.
If you left the jobsite without testing the vacuum and later found that the new system did not work, then it is likely the electrician powered it up with 240 volts. Just sitting in the off position the unit will burn out the transformer in 3-5 minutes or less.
If you plug a 240 volt unit into 120 volts, it will not run correctly. Good news is the transformer or motor(s) will not be hurt. You will only be running it on half speed. In fact, this is the way you should "break-in" new motor brushes when they are changed out down the road. (Run the unit in at half speed.) Also note that the transformer will not activate the relay unless it has 240 volts.

Even if Kanye behaves himself at this year's VMAs, Chelsea Handler, who just announced tonight on her E! talk show that she's hosting the Sept. 12 event, should provide plenty of morning-after quotables for the blogosphere. So why did MTV choose her? "This has been a huge year for hip-hop and rap, and it is well-known that I have the closest ties with these communities – musically and sexually," Handler explains. "I am to rap and hippity-hop, what Warren Buffet is to finance, minus the sex."
The list of stars planning to hippity-hop on down to LA's Nokia Theater for the 27th annual VMAs next month include scheduled performers Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Drake, B.o.B, and Florence + The Machine, and presenters Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, Trey Songz, Ashley Greene, Selena Gomez, and Ne-Yo.
Whaddya think, PopWatchers? Think Handler can handle the VMAs? Who is the greatest VMAs host of all time? Do you even remember who hosted last year?* What's more likely, Kanye acting the fool again, or Handler racking up a hefty tab in FCC fines during MTV's live event?

Seventy-five years ago, Oct. 28, 1938, leaders of the annual Berkeley Community Chest campaign gathered at the YWCA Cottage (near where Sather Gate is today) to assess the results of their fundraising. The goal had been $140,000 for 23 local agencies in the coming year. A total of $121,149 in pledges were reported at the event, leaving the effort 13.5 percent short, according to the Berkeley Daily Gazette.
Although the campaign officially ended Oct. 28, continued solicitation efforts unofficially added to the total. The Gazette noted in an editorial that the fundraiser volunteers had included 650 local women and 150 men. The paper chastised locals for not giving more, noting that "two women, working for three hours and making 40 calls in a section of the city where the character of the homes precluded any excuse of poverty, collected in all the sum of $8.00."
Tunnel traffic
Remember all the traffic that Berkeley noticed coming down Tunnel Road 75 years ago after the opening of what is now the Caldecott Tunnel? It gave the Claremont neighborhood second thoughts about the tunnel, and city officials obliged one of Berkeley's "high class" residential districts by seeking creation of a new road connection between the tunnel and the top of Alcatraz Avenue. This would have, Berkeley officials hoped, diverted the new tunnel traffic to north Oakland.
"The main purpose of the new highway now sought is to relieve the growing congestion and mounting noise from automobiles and trucks at all hours of the day and night," said Berkeley City Manager Hollis Thompson in the Oct. 26, 1938 Gazette.
The next day, city and neighborhood representatives went to Sacramento for a conference with the State Director of Public Works. Berkeley's city engineer had already drawn up plans for an $800,000 road that would extend from Alcatraz and College to Chabot Road and thence to the "Broadway low level tunnel."
Navy Day
On Oct. 27, 1938, 3,000 male students at UC participated in a celebration of Navy Day on the Berkeley campus. "The combined Army and Navy units of the University R.O.T.C. will present a mass formation to which the public is invited," the Gazette reported the day before.
In addition, "many service clubs and patriotic organizations have held and will be holding Navy Day programs" in Berkeley. The campus review was on the baseball field between Edwards Track and what is now Haas Pavilion; the Recreational Sports Facility now covers the south end of the field.
The Gazette noted in an Oct. 27 editorial that Navy Day marked the founding of the United States Navy by the Continental Congress in October 1775, and had been officially established in 1922. It was also, coincidently, the birth date of former President Theodore Roosevelt, who had been an ardent booster of the Navy.
Fog test
An experimental plane circled in a fog bank off San Francisco's Cliff House on Oct. 26, 1938, spraying "a new chemical compound which is being manufactured by Aircraft Safety Devices of 1976 Center Street" in Berkeley. While there was no mention of the chemical composition of the compound, it "cut a clean hole nearly 1,000 feet wide through the mist," the Gazette reported the next day. The experiment was heralded as a breakthrough in helping planes land in fog. The 1976 Center St. address appears to have been at or near the southwest corner of Center and Milvia, which would put it right about where the Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Building now stands.
Deathless record
As of Oct. 31, 1938, Berkeley had experienced 112 consecutive days "without a traffic fatality" and hoped to close in on the 1936 record of 132 "deathless days."

Decision expected Tuesday on Parise's return
Monday, 03.28.2011 / 3:11 PM ET / News
By Eric Marin
|Parise's return date still uncertain. GETTY IMAGES
Parise, who has missed 63 games, is close to returning and said Monday's practice was the best he's felt since rejoining the team last Thursday.
But Ilya Kovalchuk, Colin White and Anton Volchenkov were all absent from the ice Monday as they continue to nurse various bumps and bruises.
"I think today was the step in the right direction, for sure," a hopeful Parise said. "But I'm still not sure. Unfortunately, that's only the second team practice that I've had. It was really good, I thought, but I don't know. I guess we'll make that call [Tuesday]. I'm not sure yet."
There has been no official confirmation yet that Wednesday will indeed be the day. Parise underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in November, and has not played since Oct. 30. He resumed light skating on March 3.
"I'm excited for whenever it is, whether it's Wednesday, Friday or Saturday, I'm still not sure," he said. "I guess [Tuesday] will be a big deciding factor on how I feel. But really, I'm still not sure. I don't know yet."
Kovalchuk reported that's he's "still a little bruised" after taking a Thomas Vanek shot in the foot Saturday in Buffalo, but expects to practice Tuesday. White and Volchenkov both suffered lower body injuries Friday in Pittsburgh.
"I don't know what he tried to do: dump it in, or score from the red line," Kovalchuk said of the Vanek play, which happened during the Devils' 2-0 loss to the Sabres.
Parise traveled with the team this weekend, taking part in the morning skates. There were more signs Monday that he's closer to being ready.
"During those down-low drills, I felt like the timing is getting a lot better," Parise said. "I'm able to make decisions a little quicker, so those are the things that I'm looking for right now."
He skated with Travis Zajac and Nick Palmieri, replacing Kovalchuk on the top line. Parise and Zajac share a chemistry that has helped propel them to career seasons in the past.
"That was definitely nice getting to play with him again," Parise said. "I definitely felt like we were still able to find each other out there. That's a good sign, too, that we haven't lost that ability yet."
Lemaire sensed that Parise and Zajac were happy to be reunited after Zajac took a shot so hard that it cracked the glass. An arena crew had to replace the fractured pane while practice continued at the opposite end of the rink.
"Zach had the same sweater as Travis, Travis went on and broke the glass," Lemaire said. "He was all pumped up and said, 'I'm going to shoot now.'"
The coach doesn't plan on moving either Parise or Kovalchuk to the right side, and won't try them on the same line. Still, the coach will have decisions to make at left wing.
"Zach will probably not play with Kovy," Lemaire said. "Myself, I don't think it's a good fit. I don't like that fit."
He wouldn't get into specifics on why, at this year's training camp, he felt the pairing didn't work.
"They always can play together – anybody can play," Lemaire offered. "Now, it's what's the best for the line, for the team, for this, for that."
Kovalchuk is likely to see new linemates during the final seven games of the season.
"That's a big question," Lemaire said. "Now you've made me think. It will be an experiment to see where they're all going to fit."
The coach sounded as though he expects to tinker a bit.
"Every day," he said. "At the game, too. I think we'll try different combinations there, to see who will fit better with who."
Meanwhile, foot ailments are nothing new for Kovalchuk, who had to deal with a broken foot last season while with Atlanta.
"It just felt a little weird yesterday and it felt kind of the same, so I just wanted to make sure it's not broken," Kovalchuk said.
He joked that he was just picking up the slack with Volchenkov out of the lineup.
"So now I'm a shot blocker," Kovalchuk said. "Volchie wasn't there, so somebody had to block shots. Maybe I'm going to wear Marty's pads next game."
Kovalchuk offered his own solution for the logjam at left wing.
"I think we have not enough D, so maybe I'll play on D," he said.
He will probably go back to wearing the foot guards he used for parts of last year.
"I think I will. You never wear them before something happens. After, you always want to make sure," he said.

Garage Mahal' exhibits deceased man's lifelong car collection
LAKE PLACID - Ernest Renzetti Jr. loved cars. He collected and restored them like some people collect buttons and stamps. And his one dream was to get all his �toys� together in one spot. Renzetti, who died last year from colon cancer, may be gone but not before leaving behind an unusual legacy he started that his wife, Lori, finished in his memory. Today, the �Garage Mahal� as it�s called, is a one-of-a-kind, two-story �car museum� that has 29 classic cars from Renzetti�s collection parked in it, all polished up, with a little history of the cars� origins.�Ernie had a history with VW(Volkswagen) and Porsche,� said Lori Renzetti, �but his love was Porsche.� Local contractor Mike Padovano remembers being surprised when Ernest Renzetti approached him about building the mega-garage that was supposed to be attached to his weekend home in Lake June Pointe. The Renzettis had bought the lot next to their in 2009. Ernest had found the �perfect venue,� Lori said. �I told him, �OK!�� Padovano remembered. �You got plans.� And he did. Since the downstairs is underground, Padovano and his workers had to dig out a lot of dirt. Seventy-five truckloads, he estimates. �You don�t know how much dirt there is on a job until you start it,� he grinned. �There were tons and tons of dirt.� A concourse from the street leads to the basement level. The second story is level with the house and is actually connected to it through a hallway. Several of Ernest Renzetti�s nick-knacks are displayed all around, including a pair of his shoes next to a blue 1961 Porsche 356 B Super 90, which was very �dear� to him. There are several limited edition Porsche GTs, 1950s-era Volkswagen Beetles and �micro-cars,� such as the 1956 Messerschmitt KR-200 Dome. Ernest Renzetti tried to keep the cars he was restoring as original as possible, said Lori Renzetti, and every single car was �dear� to him. Until his last days he was busy with the �Garage Mahal,� going online to find antique gas pumps, whose gleaming, red, refinished exteriors now accessorize the place. Lori Renzetti does not want the �Garage Mahal� to be a static showroom of classic cars but a place for car enthusiasts to gather. She is inviting car clubs to have meets there and enjoy the collection, which she said will keep changing. Last month, more than 300 people, many from the Porsche Club of America, gathered for a soft opening. Car clubs can email Lori Renzetti at email@example.com to schedule an event. Padovano, who had known Ernest Renzetti since 2000, remembered him as a man who always had a smile on his face. Today, a plaque outside the garage has an impression of him, smiling broadly. �Our gratefulness is fueled knowing that Ernie is now cruising the Ultimate Highway where there is no speed limit,� the plaque states. If her husband were still alive, Lori Renzetti knows what he�d say would echo the words on the plaque: �He�ll tell people to enjoy each day. Enjoy the ride of life.�

"This was a great addition to our baptism favors. We put them on the back of acrylic frames and they were a BIG hit with our guests."
"We loved this label. It match the party invitations we ordered and we used them to personalize our party favors. We wish they came in larger options and other shapes too!"
"This item was a fantastic addition to my nieces birthday. It received praises from everyone as it added a personal touch"
"These gift tages / labels were a perfect idea for all of our back to school labeling. My son put them on his folders, in his books, on his binder. Good quality and really cute design!"
"I have ordered this product now twice for my son's birthday parties. I have received many compliments on it. It is easy and you don't have to spend $2-3 dollars every time for a card which gets thrown away anyways."

Japan's New Korea Policy: Closer — But Not Close Enough
By Yuka Hayashi
In the latest edition of its Defense White Paper, Japan made a subtle change to the key sentence that describes its bilateral relationship with South Korea, revealing a surprising degree of affection toward its neighbor.
"South Korea shares the closest relationship with Japan historically and in various areas such as economy and culture," Tokyo said Tuesday.
At first glance, the sentence appears similar to what was in last year's white paper, a bulky document on Japan's defense strategy that gets updated every year. But the change is quite significant given the complicated feelings the people of the two countries have toward other, often a source of diplomatic friction. Last year, Korea was only "one of the closest." This year, it's the one and only. (A defense ministry spokesman wasn't immediately able to give a reason for the change).
Tokyo's friendly gesture has failed to draw any warm and fuzzy response from Seoul. Rather, it was hit immediately by a sharply-worded rebuke, as South Korea focused on another short sentence in the white paper, one that has remained the same for several years in a row.
"For our country, there exist unresolved territorial issues over the Northern Territories and Takeshima that are our nation's unique land," the white paper said, referring to islands that are also claimed by Russia and South Korea, respectively. The tiny island that Japan calls Takeshima is known as Dokdo to the Koreans, and the Liancourt Rocks to some Westerners. It lies in the waters between the two nations, known as the Sea of Japan in Japan and the East Sea in South Korea.
"The Government of the Republic of Korea once again makes clear the plain fact that Dokdo is an indigenous territory of the ROK over which it exercises full territorial sovereignty, and that it will not tolerate any unjust claim of Japan to the territory," said a spokesperson for the ministry of foreign affairs and trade.
Tuesday's rhetorical broadside underscores the difficult challenges the two nations continue to face over long-standing historical issues, even as their economic and cultural ties grow closer every year. At the same time, as the white paper points out, the needs for the two nations to coordinate their diplomatic and national security efforts are only growing. China's rapid growth creates new stress amid East Asia's geopolitical landscape. North Korea's nuclear and weapons development, Japan says, remains a huge threat for everyone in the region.

NEW 2009/10 3rd Kit?? & 20 years on – another trophy at Anfield 26 May, 2009Posted by lasagnechef in Arsenal News.
I came across this image today of what could possibly be next season's 3rd/European Kit. I just assumed the current yellow shirt would become the 3rd shirt but apparently it's strictly one season only and we're getting another shirt for just one season – a bit like that navy and redcurrant hooped shirt we had. The yellow shirt has now been renamed the 'Sale Shirt' on the online store as opposed to a '3rd Shirt' so I guess we might be getting another kit then.
This photo of the white shirt looks pretty real to me, the badge is always the telling point and it is an official quality version even with the new (incredibly shit) ® logo. However It could be a Photoshop of the new navy away kit. I'm a bit worried that this is the real deal though, because it's awful. Not only is it ugly and boring but take away the logos and it looks like a crappy polo shirt. Not only that but add a cock on a basketball and a Mansion.com logo and you have a fucking Spurs shirt.
It's awful – I hate it. Remember the green kit we thought could be next season's away kit? Well I'm
hoping praying that will be our 3rd shirt next season if we do bring one out. I wasn't a fan of the last white shirt but it sold really well so another one isn't going to be far off I'm afraid. If I hear any more news regarding a new kit I'll keep you updated.
Twenty years ago tonight many of us were partying in the streets after winning the title in extraordinary fashion up an Anfield. There's a load of stuff on the official site to celebrate the St. Michael Thomas Day including a couple of excellent photo galleries. We all remember where we were 20 years ago tonight – I was crying my eyes out as a young boy as my Dad went mental jumping around in the living room after Thomas scored, good times.
Well by coincidence Steve Bould, now manager of the youth team took his side up to Liverpool tonight in the second leg of the FA Youth Cup. They won 2-1 winning the most prestigious youth trophy 6-2 on aggregate. It's a great triumph by the kids and they should be congratulated for it. So congratulations, kids.
They didn't have quite as big a task as when we won the league up there 20 years ago it has to be said but it's still a great win. Our youth academy is just getting better and better, this current group of players is probably the best we've ever had coming through and I'm sure a decent number will make it through to the first team, if not they all have great careers ahead of them.
And finally, a bit of old news regarding Walcott but it's something I have covered on here yet. Wenger is concerned about Walcott possibly playing for both the full England side and the U21's this summer. It would mean hardly any break from football for Theo all summer long when we really need our players to get a rest ahead of an important season. Here's what Wenger said:
"My feeling is that I am against it. I have let the FA know that he should not play in both national teams during the holiday period. First there is an international on June 2 and June 5, then he joins up with the Under-21s.
It is not logical that he plays for the first team and the Under-21s. They finish on June 28 and we start training on July 6. It is difficult for us to accept that, but the rules are on the side of the federation and we cannot do anything about it."
I think it's ridiculous that he might play in both. England should pick him for one or the other – either include him in the squad for the full side or save him for the U21 championships later this summer. It's a joke. This has never been done before, a player has always been one or the other, never both. Wayne Rooney at one point was eligible for both whilst being a top player but he never played full and U21 level at the same time so why would they do it now?
Cesc Fabregas is another one who might not get much of a rest this summer, Spain are playing in the FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa. I am a bit worried about Cesc and Theo being tired for pre-season but there's nothing in our power we can do about it. In a strange way I'm kind of glad now that both players had a bit of a rest this season due to injuries. I know they'll be ok but it's a bit annoying that they wont be 100% fresh for August.
Oh and I almost forgot, before I go I just thought I'd show you this hilarious story. The Rome authorities have banned the sale of alcohol for the entire day tomorrow for the Champions League final. HAHA! Nice way to spoil United's little trip. Right I really better go now, Thanks for reading.
- 1. Wrighty - 26 May, 2009
According to this link – http://tinyurl.com/psll9s – the club have announced that we're releasing a third shirt on the 23rd of July. I really hope that this is just a photoshop job, not just because of how shite it looks, but because of how similar it is to the away shirt.
- 2. Alcovinco - 26 May, 2009
It's already been made in Indonesia🙂
- 3. Duckster - 27 May, 2009
Theo is the goose pushing the issue- There is no way Rooney would even think about declaring availibility for both national teams.
For me this totally sums up the different approach & influence of both managers.
Anyway I'm really excited about the possibilities this Summer- really hoping Wenger goes for it in the transfer market.
- 4. iceman - 27 May, 2009
What is the point of a 3rd shirt anyway.
We hardly used the on we had 2 seasons ago.
But gotta disagree, I'd take this over the green one anytime.
- 5. Emz - 27 May, 2009
OH MY GOD – I hope this is a joke.
To be honest, i'd rather see the green one than this old fashon looking piece of shit!!!!!
- 6. Doughnut - 27 May, 2009
Henry is gonna prove people need to leave to win shit unless man U win, cheer for man u or our two good players will leave
ps – that shirt is a fucking eye sore
- 7. damiern - 27 May, 2009
What an ugly piece of shit that jersey is….
the sleeves are tooo short to be a real jersey
- 8. Gunner - 27 May, 2009
WE ARE HAVING A NEW 3RD KIT, AND IT WILL BE WHITE (WITH GREY SHORTS), i dont know whether this is it but what a said is true. My girlfriend works in the arsenal shop and her manager has seen it.
- 9. Kids Football Shirt - 6 September, 2009
I liked the whole stuff and also my boy get crazy about these things. The most i liked the jersey and the logo really match the jersey.
