When it comes to the future of public transit in Atlanta, there's good news and there's bad.
The good news: After decades of bowing at the throne of road builders, the Georgia Department of Transportation says it's taking off the kneepads and getting serious about train service that would connect Atlanta to other cities in the Southeast.
The bad news: Thanks to an unexpected tiff between GDOT and city of Atlanta officials, the Beltline – the 22-mile loop of parks, trails and transit that would one day circle the city – might be in jeopardy. That's because the train service that GDOT is suddenly embracing would have to run on or near the proposed Beltline tracks.
Last week, CL first reported that GDOT – working in tandem with Amtrak – threw a wrench in Beltline officials' plans for light rail, trails and greenspace near Piedmont Park. Just as Norfolk Southern, the current owner of the tracks in question, was about to surrender them to the city, GDOT and Amtrak stepped in and halted the proceedings. The two agencies now say the tracks are vital to their own vision for commuter rail.
"Simply put, because of GDOT's boorish behavior and AMTRAK's willingness to play along, the future of the city of Atlanta is at stake," Mayor Shirley Franklin wrote in an urgent letter to U.S. Congressman John Lewis to seek his assistance.
GDOT's explanation: Those rusty rail lines must be preserved for a commuter rail line that has been planned since 1992. If Atlanta ever wants to see commuter rail inside city limits and a downtown terminal akin to Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, the trains must operate along the Decatur Belt that flanks Piedmont Park, the department claims.
Officials from Atlanta Beltline Inc. and the city say they were blindsided by the move. GDOT had been actively involved in numerous regional transportation plans, all of which included the Beltline. So why potentially derail the Beltline – and bring in Amtrak, which has the power to condemn the property – now? Why not step in earlier, before the city began securing funds for the Beltline and buying up land along its proposed route?
That's a question GDOT hasn't been able to answer. Weirdly, internal GDOT documents state that the department and the city have been communicating for quite some time – with no mention of a commuter rail line infringing on the wildly popular Beltline.
But with a transit-friendly administration now in the White House, the GDOT smells federal funding.
"We've heard clearly from the Obama administration that high-speed rail is going to be something that is on their plates," GDOT Commissioner Gena Evans says. "I'm ready to do something with commuter rail."
Evans also says her department, which supports the Beltline, hardly kept Atlanta officials in the dark about GDOT's own commuter rail aspirations.
"The city's known about it. It's not like someone didn't know this was an issue," Evans says, adding that the property's previous owner, Wayne Mason, had contacted GDOT about its commuter rail plans.
If heavy-rail trains don't run along the tracks, Evans claims, they won't run anywhere in Atlanta. Nor will it be feasible to build high-speed rail or a downtown transit terminal that's been planned for more than a decade. Plans for the terminal are sitting on a shelf collecting dust.
Last week, on the day the shit hit the fan, Evans told board members in a memo that the two projects could run side-by-side. But Beltline officials say GDOT's plans wouldn't mesh with their vision of parks, trails, mixed-use developments and pedestrian thoroughfares. A loud, lumbering commuter rail line would be an intrusion in that smart-growth utopia.
Nor are nearby residents keen about GDOT's proposed remedy to run both projects side-by-side. The most controversial aspect of that proposal would be a miles-long, 8-foot-tall barrier that would block residents' access to Piedmont Park.
"We do need high-speed rail and Georgia needs commuter rail," says Lee Biola, president of grassroots advocacy group Citizens for Progressive Transit. "But Atlanta needs the Beltline. We can have all three. We just can't have all three on these tracks."
Ryan Gravel, who conceived the project while working on his thesis at Georgia Tech, says there's an alternative to the state and Amtrak's plan, which as of now has no funding. In 2005, Gravel surveyed various rail segments that would comprise the Beltline's spine. He concluded that Amtrak's proposed commuter rail could instead run along active tracks on the west side of the city and operate out of the transit agency's current station in south Buckhead – or even a new hub near Ansley Park.
But Evans, who's seen Gravel's study, claims no other scenario will work. It's Decatur Belt or bust.
The impasse could work against Georgia – a state notorious for infighting among its transportation agencies – when it comes to the federal government's generosity with infrastructure funding. Terri Montague, who as CEO of Atlanta Beltline Inc. oversees the project, says new U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood already has been made aware of the dispute.
"Anybody looking for money for Georgia from the federal level is probably going to have to wait until there's some sense of resolution here," Montague says. "Our credibility as a state has been called into question. The discord is not looked upon favorably by the federal agencies."
On Saturday, nearly 300 Beltline supporters rallied on the overgrown and rusty rails in question. Considering that some supporters in attendance also successfully thwarted GDOT's plan in the 1980s for a controversial interstate near Candler Park, it's fair to say the battle could get ugly.
As CL went to press, all transit agencies involved in the brouhaha were scheduled to meet on Feb. 4. Evans says the GDOT board also will convene this month to discuss the matter.
Time is of the essence, Beltline officials say. Requests for federal funding are due this month. If those deadlines are missed, the project that's been touted as the most progressive in Atlanta's recent history could face its most daunting challenge yet.

South Africa - out for a little ride
With a new bike in the garage and some free time it was time to hit the road again!
If I am going to use Bush Baby (that's the new bike's nickname) to go through Africa, I decided I should do a smallish trip to see how we managed. I planned a ride down the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast as far as St Lucia before heading north to Johannesburg to visit my Mom and then back home via Lesotho – I thought I might do the Sani Pass and give Bush Baby a good workout! Mother Nature however had other plans for me! The plan was to avoid all motorways and toll roads and take the roads less traveled. Bush Baby's top speed is only 110km and who wants to travel on boring motorways in any event! Their only purpose is to get one from one point to another as quickly as possible and that is not what these trips are about. The road from Umhlanga to St Lucia via the 102 is a fairly good road (more on the roads later!) and the distance just over 200km; a nice warm up ride. As I was traveling on the back roads the trip took longer than it would have on the motorway, but these were roads I had never traveled despite having lived in the area for over 5 years. I was amazed at how quickly I was in a rural setting; barely 20km from one of the most affluent towns in SA I was driving through areas where the locals lived in typical mud huts with no running water or electricity. I wondered what they thought of the SAR3 billion (yes, that's Billion!) that the state and local authority had spent on a soccer stadium not 100km from where thy lived in poverty below the bread line; and this was only one of 4 such stadiums across the country. I couldn't help but think that the SA government and local authorities have their priorities horribly wrong. St Lucia (or more correctly, St Lucia Estuary) is in the iSimangaliso WetlandPark (previously known as the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park); the word 'iSimangaliso' being Zulu for 'a marvel'. The park is a United Nations World Heritage Site encompassing several different conservation areas centred on Lake St. Lucia, its tidal estuary, neighbouring game reserves, and the St. Lucia Marine Reserve, which extends offshore into the Mozambique Strait. The oldest of the reserves within this park, St. Lucia Game Reserve, was established in 1895. It is South Africa's third-largest protected area spanning 280 km of coastline and made up of around 3,280 square km of pristine natural ecosystems. The Budget Backpackers establishment in St Lucia was true to its name. Fortunately there were only 3 of us in the backpackers – a German couple and myself – and I had the one 8 bed dorm to myself. I am still determined to stay in backpackers or to camp and to avoid hotels; at least one gets to chat to other travelers and they invariably are international travelers and I love to hear their stories. The German couple were not the friendliest I have ever come across and we did no more than exchange pleasantries. One of the downsides to staying in budget accommodation is that the beds are normally just that, budget. On Wednesday morning I knew that I had slept on a budget bed, my poor back was unhappy and complaining loudly! It took a while to get everything moving properly but I had brought a back brace with – for those of you who follow my blog, you may remember that I had a similar incident on the ferry between the North and South Islands in New Zealand and now I never travel without the brace. On Wednesday morning I stopped at Mtubatuba to fill up with petrol and was amazed at the site that greeted me. It was still early in the morning but the little town was already buzzing; the local general dealer was playing his hi-fi at full blast hoping that this attract customers into his store, while others were already barbequing meat over open fires to sell, the sidewalk traders had stands everywhere and chickens and goats roamed freely around the town centre. A typical African town! The road from Mtubatuba to Pongola is good but this was to be expected as I was on the motorway; the alternative would have taken too much time. The road from Pongola to Piet Retief is really interesting! Apart from the motorways, which are in a fair condition, the roads in the rest of SA are appalling; I have no idea what the authorities in charge of the roads have been doing for the last 10 years, because they certainly haven't been maintaining the roads! The 2010 Soccer World Cup is a mixed blessing for SA, on the one hand the country is spending vast amounts of money they don't have on stadiums that will be white elephants after the event is finished, but on the other hand the national and local authorities have been forced to sort out the poorly neglected infrastructure – perhaps now they will realize that the infrastructure actually has to be maintained on an ongoing basis! The road from Pongola to Piet Retief must be one of the worst I have come across. We were stopped on 7 occasions as only 1 lane was open for traffic. On 4 of these occasions the single lane was understandable as they were fixing the other half of the road; the only reason for the single lane on the other 3 occasions was the poor condition of the road; it was imply not possible to ride on the closed side of the road. There is no way this road will be ready for 2010! The scene in Piet Retief was no different, the roads in the town centre had been completely dug up and had yet to be repaired and resurfaced. From Piet Retief it was on to Ermelo and Bethal and then Johannesburg. I had an interesting incident on the way from Ermelo to Bethal. Given Bush Baby's low top speed I was quite happy to travel in the slow lane or inside the yellow line if there was one to let the traffic past. At one point I came up behind a large tanker traveling at 80km and waited for a safe spot to pass the tanker. I pulled out to overtake and as I approached the front door of the tanker – me being on the wrong side of the road at this point – the idiotic driver decided that we should have a race; his tanker against my motorbike! Bush Baby just didn't have the speed to get past and so I had to slow down and pull in behind the tanker again. A few minutes later we approached a large hill and the tanker lost speed and I managed to get past, not without using sign language to explain what I thought of the driver! As I approached Springs I could see a very large storm brewing over Johannesburg and the air turned really cold. I seemed to be on the fringe of the storm and thought I might get away with getting caught in it. Sadly this never happened. The air kept getting colder and the sky blacker and to complicate matters I missed a turnoff and landed up in the city centre. I do not recommend that you get lost in the centre of Johannesburg on a motorcycle in the middle of a huge storm! It was about 6.30pm and the sky was really black and then the heavens opened, it just came bucketing down! I now had two choices, try and find shelter or just keep going. Not being one to back away from a challenge I decided to keep going. I wondered around lost in the centre of Johannesburg in the middle of the storm for about half an hour before finding a familiar road – Main Reef Road – which I knew would take me out west to where my Mom lives. The ride down Main Reef Road was really interesting; a 4 lane road in about 20cm of water with traffic everywhere, cars broken down all over the place, no traffic or street lights working and the taxi drivers still treating the road like a race track! I think mother nature decided if I was going to test the bike, the gear and myself she would help me do it properly! I arrived at my Mom's house at about 7.30pm very wet and bedraggled! Bush Baby had performed flawlessly and I hadn't done too badly either, over 600km and 11 hours after leaving St Lucia. The plan had been to arrive much earlier in the day, have dinner with my Mom and brother and then leave for Lesotho early on Thursday. That wasn't going to happen; Thursday was spent drying everything out. I decided to leave the Lesotho leg of the trip for another time and head back home on Friday. Friday in Johannesburg dawned warm and sunny and the ride back to Umhlanga looked promising; this looked like another of those situations where Mother Nature was trying to make amends for what she put me through on Wednesday. Little did I realize that Mother Nature wasn't quite finished with me yet! I left Johannesburg just after 6am hoping to miss the morning traffic. The motorways in Johannesburg are undergoing a major upgrade for the 2010 Soccer World Cup and I got caught in the morning rush hour; it seems the motorways are a disaster from about 5.30 in the morning. Even though I managed to ride between the traffic for a great deal of the way it still took me about an hour and a half to get out of Johannesburg. The N3 motorway from Johannesburg to Durban is a good motorway – it has to be with all the traffic it takes – but I again wanted to get off the motorway and besides the toll fees on this motorway are astronomical. Just before Heidelberg I took the alternative route which goes through Standerton and Volksrust. The condition of the road is poor but fortunately not as bad as the road from Pongola to Piet Retief. The sun was shining, the traffic light and I had a great ride to Volksrust where I had brunch. Just after Ladysmith I missed the turnoff to Greytown and landed up on the N3, probably not a bad thing with what was to come. Just after Mooi River the weather again turned nasty. The N3 motorway is a very busy motorway with a large number of heavy trucks. With my low top speed I was in the slow truck lane most of the time and this was fine until the mist rolled in. Thick pea soup mist with practically zero visibility. Now being in the slow truck lane wasn't fine, the last thing I wanted to do was go into the back of a slow moving truck! Not much later it stated to rain and then hail! Why is it you can never find a bridge when you need one? Fortunately the hail wasn't big – the size of small marbles – but it still hurt! Thick mist, hail, heavy traffic, slow hardly visible trucks – not an ideal mix for a bike trip. I again decided to push on. Fortunately the hail stopped after about 10 minutes but it rained heavily all the way home for the next three hours. Another 600km 11 hour ride. I had covered a distance of 1 599km since leaving home on Tuesday morning and Bush Baby had performed flawlessly through all that Mother Nature had thrown at us. I had initially been concerned that the bike might be a little small for the Cape Town to London trip but I think she will be just perfect. What a ride! |
Nice Ride
Hi Peter
Nice ride tale. What bike did you have? Are you planning a trip from CT to London, what route will you be taking and when. 2 Other routes here in South Africa that's also great to ride, and challenging, is Die Hell and Baviaanskloof. Great training for riding in Africa. Your side panniers looks interesting. Do you have pictures of how they look? Safe Riding. Maybe see you somewhere in Africa 2011 Cheers Rassie

Hi Rassie
I am riding a Honda CTX200, the bike was really designed as a farm bike but it is a great dualsport bike, will go anywhere but just not very fast! I am planning to go up the east coast of Africa sometime next year. I got the panniers with the bike but I think I will change them, I quite like the Andy Strapz bags. Thanks for the info on the training rides. Hopefully we'll meet on the road somewhere. |
Love your thoughts about SA hosting the soccer and I totally agree with you. Money could be spent elsewhere. Guess you can say that about the winter olympics as well.
I was born on the south coast and spent my university years and early career in Durban and was there about a year ago. Things have sure changed. Would love to meet up with you guys in the next year when I plan on being back, this time with a bike.

Booysen Yamaha XT250 ( Chicita )
Hey Peter, enjoyed reading about your trip! I am originally from PE and have been living in On, Canada for about 22 years, I am planning a short trip in September from Milton, Ontario to Tobermory, taking the ferry across to Manatoulin island, through to Sudbury onto Parry Sound. From there to Collingwood and back to Milton. The trip is about 1000 kms long and as i am in no hurry it should take about 4 days. I have a Yamaha XT250 (Chicita) a great little bike so I have the same issue about the freeways or highways as they are called here. I will post my trip and hope i can make it sound as good as yours. Enjoy your trip I will be back in your in your part of the woods in about 3 years, its on my bucket list!

Hi Peter
Enjoyable story, nice to ride off the main routes in SA. I have just ridden from Durban to Cape Town via Baviaanskloof, The Hell (Gamkaskloof) and the Karoo and it was awesome. 2212kms So much so, that I have left my bike in Cape Town and will fly back at the end of the month to continue my trip - mostly dirt and now into the Northern Cape. Safe riding Sharon |

Six Nations 2013: Alun Wyn Jones battles Sam Warburton to lead Wales in title decider against England
Second-rower emerges as a major threat to No 7 reclaiming the armband in Cardiff
Tuesday 12 March 2013
Wales will definitely be forced into a change of captain for this weekend's title-deciding Six Nations set-to with England at the Millennium Stadium, but it is not a foregone conclusion that Sam Warburton, once the red-hot favourite to lead the British and Irish Lions in Australia this summer, will reclaim the honour. The lock Alun Wyn Jones has emerged as a serious challenger to Warburton after his outstanding performance against the Scots in Edinburgh four days ago.
Warburton, struggling for fitness at the start of the tournament, lost the captaincy to his fellow flanker Ryan Jones after the opening-round defeat by Ireland, and Jones promptly led the reigning champions to an unexpected victory in France. But the universally popular Ospreys forward broke a bone in his shoulder midway through the Murrayfield encounter and will be out of the game until May.
"The captaincy is up for discussion," Robbie McBryde, the Wales assistant coach, said. "We are not under any pressure to make decisions at the moment. We will take our time and make sure the decisions are right. We want to be spot on."
With Wales needing only an eight-point victory to retain the Six Nations title and England chasing a first Grand Slam since their World Cup-winning year of years in 2003, this is the last fixture on earth to be in need of additional frisson.
But Warburton's contest with the England captain Chris Robshaw has an obvious Lions dimension to it, and if the Cardiff Blues player regains the Wales captaincy against the new favourite to lead the British Isles squad to Wallaby country, all eyes will be on the battle of the breakaways.
Rob Howley, Wales' interim head coach, is also balancing the rival claims of two loose-head specialists: the experienced Lions Test front-rower Gethin Jenkins and the strong-scrummaging Bath prop Paul James. Jenkins started the round-three game in Italy and played an excellent hand at the set-piece before picking up a calf injury and giving way to his understudy. For his part, James was influential in wrecking the Scottish scrum last weekend. It will be the tightest of tight calls.
Meanwhile, the England camp have continuing issues in the second row department. Joe Launchbury, an engine room revelation in recent matches, picked up a nasty elbow injury during the narrow victory over Italy on Sunday and did not train today.
If he misses out – Andy Farrell, the England attack coach, tried to strike an optimistic note but could not guarantee his readiness – the red rose medical staff will find themselves working overtime on Launchbury's fellow locks Geoff Parling and Courtney Lawes, both of whom have injury problems of their own.
"We'll give Joe some time," said Farrell. "The injury is not as bad as we had first feared and he's improving. He now has a smile on his face when he's walking around the hotel corridors." Mouritz Botha of Saracens trained with the England squad and will stay in camp as cover.

Brazilian model Adriana Lima will be featured in the iconic Pirelli calendar which isn't the big news but rather that she is posing visibly pregnant, which is a first for the annual publication. The calendar first appeared in 1964.
The 30-year-old Victoria Secret model is expecting her second child with Marko Jaric, a Serbian professional basketball player.
This year's issue's theme is "Calendar of the Soul" featuring 11 women that are involved in charitable projects, foundations and NGOs. A sneak preview was offered by Vanity Fair Italia and does not show any of the models nude which is customary.
Calendar photographer Steve McCurry noted in Fashionista, "I want to portray women who are sexy without being naked."
Fellow Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana is also featured in the calendar.

Character Rage! · 10:05pm
Hello people of FIMfiction! So I was just reading a fanfic that recently made it to the feature box, it was crap but it got me thinking, how much do I like and dislike each of the Mane Six? Well I figured that I'd give my preferences on each character on what I hate and like about them in the show and in the fandom, though there won't any like for the first two.
Yes Rarity is my least favourite character in MLP, mostly because she's the Element of Generosity yet she comes off as the greediest out of all them, now while she did have a few good episodes about her in season 1 really showing off her generous side every episode in the later series about her was utter rubbish! Personally I think that when Discord made her greedy it had some long term effects, also another point she has been the second character to be given a Nightmare Moon form by the fans! (The first one being Celestia.) And in Defender222 'The Abundance.' Rarity was the last one to be freed of her corruption and what does she do? Not seek redemption but hide away, like a bitch. Moving on.
.....Just gonna wait a sec for all of you to stop yelling at the screen..... Right then, yes I hate Fluttershy and its mostly down to a few things, first of each of the Mane Six's personalities a based on some old stereotype hers is the shy stereotype the worst one, seeing as this basically puts women right back around 40 years which really pisses me off! I hate sexism! Now it isn't bad in a friendly little joke or if your trying to make your audience laugh but she really bugs me on this.
Next point: she is, believe it or not, a comic relief character the awkward moment kind of comic relief character the worst kind seeing as it isn't something funny they say or do but over people's WTF reactions to what they do and it rather annoys me, lastly is her over popularity seeing as out of all of the Mane Six she's the one who has the most fanart and fanfics wrote about her and, call me a hipster, I think she's too over rated, I keep hearing people calling her "the most adorable character ever." But I don't see it! Then again my definition of adorable needs to ever be a really adorable face, a.k.a Applebloom from the very first episode, or being fluffy so no Flutters is not a good character end of. The only thing that keeps her higher then Rarity is the fact that I rather envoy her "Yay!" Meme.
I will be posting these into three deprecate actions because I really want to be positive for these other characters, till then my fellow oercrastinators TARRAH!

Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Kia Forte Koup than in the Mazda Mazda2, due to the Kia Forte Koup's smaller rear head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Kia Forte Koup and the Mazda Mazda2 in the front seats.
The Kia Forte Koup will require fewer stops at the gas station than the Mazda Mazda2, making it more convenient to drive.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Kia Forte Koup is somewhat more expensive than the Mazda Mazda2.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Kia Forte Koup and the Mazda Mazda2 have similar Destination Charges.
Since the Kia Forte Koup is much wider than the Mazda Mazda2, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
If you go with the Kia Forte Koup, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mazda Mazda2.
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Kia Forte Koup does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Mazda Mazda2.
The Kia Forte Koup has a larger turning radius than the Mazda Mazda2, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia Forte Koup has a much more powerful engine than the Mazda Mazda2. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Kia Forte Koup and the Mazda Mazda2.
The Kia Forte Koup has significantly less cargo room than the Mazda Mazda2, which may be a concern if you do a lot of warehouse shopping.
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the Kia Forte Koup than that of the Mazda Mazda2.

Bayern beat Raja to win Club World Cup
MARRAKECH, Morocco (AP) Bayern Munich capped the greatest year in club history by beating Raja Casablanca 2-0 to win its third Club World Cup on Saturday.
The European champions added a record fifth title to their trophy cabinet at the tournament of continental champions to go with the Champions League, Bundesliga, German Cup, and European Super Cup triumphs in 2013.
Dante scored early to deflate the Moroccan hosts at Marrakech Stadium, and Thiago Alcantara put the Bavarian side in command with his 22nd-minute goal.

India Srilanka Cricket at Brisbane
India plummeted to their second successive defeat in the Commonwealth Bank ODI series Down Under as Nuwan Kulasekara celebrates taking the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar casual effort saw them lose to Sri Lanka by 51 runs in Brisbane. The result means India must not only win both their remaining matches, but they will also be dependent on the other results to secure their spot in the best-of-three final. The loss seemed inevitable after India lost their top three batsmen with just 54 runs on the board while chasing a target of 290 set by the Sri Lankans. Two of those wickets went to man-of-the-match Nuwan Kulasekara who benefitted from sticking to the basics of good line and length. Captain Virender Sehwag was out for a duck to an extremely poor shot off just the second ball of the chase. Tendulkar looked good to start off with but merely flattered to deceive as he clipped the ball onto his stumps when on 22. Gautam Gambhir, who despite having two scores in the 90s this series while opening the batting, was dropped down to number 3 and once again looked in form before he guided a ball from Kulasekera to Thisara Perera in the gully. Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina did stage a comeback and stitched together a 92-run partnership that was aided by some sloppy catching from the Lankans. Raina got a lucky let off when on four as Dilshan failed to hold on to a chance off Angelo Mathews. Virat Kohli had two escapes himself both courtesy Dinesh Chandimal at deep mid-wicket.

U.S. house prices jump 12.2% in seven year high, but home ownership slumps to 18-year low
- Prices in Dallas and Denver reached the highest level on records dating back to 2000
- The smallest yearly gains were in New York, at 3.3%
- Home prices are still about 25% below the peaks they reached in July 2006
U.S. home prices jumped 12.2 per cent in May compared with a year ago, the biggest annual gain since March 2006.
The increase shows the housing recovery is strengthening, despite home ownership slipping to an 18 year low.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index released today also surged 2.4 per cent in May from April.
Cities included: Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Las Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Pehoenix, Denver, Dallas, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta, Tampa, Miami, Charlotte, Washington D.C. New York, Boston
San Francisco, Ca - 24.4%
Las Vegas, NV - 23.3%
Phoenix, AZ - 20.6%
Atlanta, GA - 20.1%
Los Angeles, CA - 19.2%
Detroit, MI - 19.1%
San Diego, Ca - 17.3%
Miami, FL - 14.2%
Minneapolis, MN - 14.1%
Portland, OR - 12.5%
Seattle, WA - 11.9%
Tampa, FL - 10.9%
Denver, CO - 9.7%
Chicago, IL - 8.5%
Dallas, TX - 7.6%
Boston, MA - 7.5%
Charlotte, NC - 7.0%
Washington D.C - 6.5%
Cleveland, OH - 3.4%
New York, NY - 3.3%
The month-over-month gain nearly matched the 2.6 per cent increase in April from March - the highest on record.
The price increases were widespread. All 20 cities showed gains in May from April and compared with a year ago.
Prices in Dallas and Denver reached the highest level on records dating back to 2000. That marks the first time since the housing bust that any city has reached an all-time high.
Home values are rising as more people are bidding on a scarce supply of houses for sale.
However, figures released today showed that home ownership is at its lowest since 1995.
The seasonally adjusted home ownership rate, the share of households owning a home, slipped to 65.1 per cent, the lowest since the fourth quarter of 1995, the Commerce Department said on today.
The rate, which peaked at 69.4 per cent in 2004, was 65.2 per cent in the first quarter.
Americans are still locked in a rental market, one of the lingering legacies of the recession.
High unemployment, a shortage of homes for sale and stringent lending practices made renting more appealing, economists said, warning that the share of Americans owning a home would continue to drift lower.
'There is a big shortage of homes and the amount of households and people that need to live somewhere is increasing,' said Guy Berger, an economist at RBS in Stamford, Connecticut.
'It's difficult to buy a home, they have to look somewhere, so they are renting.'
Ownership among people between 55 and 64 fell 0.3 percentage point in the second quarter. But there were small gains in the 35-44 age range.
Another concern is that higher mortgage rates could also slow home sales. But many economists say rates remain low by historical standards and would need to rise much faster to halt the momentum.
Svenja Gudell, senior economist at Zillow, a home price data provider, said a big reason for the recent price gains is that foreclosed homes make up a smaller proportion of overall sales.
Foreclosed homes are usually sold by banks at fire-sale prices.
'Typical home values have appreciated
at roughly half this pace for the past several months, which is still
very robust,' Gudell said.
said higher mortgage rates and a likely increase in the number of homes
for sale in the coming months should slow the pace of price gains and
stabilize the housing market.
index covers roughly half of U.S. homes. It measures prices compared
with those in January 2000 and creates a three-month moving average.
May figures are the latest available. They are not adjusted for
seasonal variations, so the monthly gains reflect more buying activity
over the summer.
Despite the recent gains, home prices are still about 25 per cent below the peaks they reached in July 2006.
That's a key reason the supply of homes for sale remains low, as many homeowners are waiting to recoup their losses before putting their houses on the market.
Dallas and Denver, the two cities
that reached record highs, were not hit hard by the housing bust and
therefore didn't experience the sharp price swings like cities in
Nevada, Arizona, California and Florida.
In Dallas, prices fell only 11.2 per cent from their previous peak in June 2007 through February 2009.
far less than Las Vegas, where prices plummeted by more than half.
Since bottoming out, home prices in Dallas have increased nearly 14 per
Denver, prices dropped 14.3 per cent from August 2006 until they also
hit bottom in February 2009. Since then, they have risen 17.3 percent.
U.S. home prices are still about 25 per cent below the peaks they reached in July 2006
The biggest price gains are occurring in many of the states that experienced the worst housing bust.
Prices jumped 24.5 per cent in San Francisco in May from a year earlier, the largest increase.
Las Vegas reported the next biggest gain at 23.3 per cent, followed by Phoenix at 20.6 per cent.
All three remain well below their peak prices.
The smallest yearly gains were in New York, at 3.3 per cent, followed by Cleveland with 3.4 percent and Washington, D.C. at 6.5 per cent.
Higher home prices help the economy in several ways. They encourage more sellers to put their homes on the market, boosting supply and sustaining the housing recovery.
And they make homeowners feel wealthier, encouraging consumers to spend more. Banks are also more willing to provide mortgage loans when homes are appreciating in value.
Mortgage rates have surged since early May, though the increase would have had little impact on the current report.
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has jumped a full percentage point since early May and reached a two-year high of 4.51 percent in late June.
Mortgage rates jumped after Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Federal Reserve could slow its bond-buying program later this year if the economy continues to improve.
The Fed's bond purchases have kept long-term interest rates low, encouraging more borrowing and spending.
In recent weeks, Bernanke and other Fed members have stressed that any change in the bond-buying program will depend on the economy's health, not a set calendar date.
Since those comments, interest rates have declined. The average on the 30-year mortgage was 4.31 percent last week.
The Fed begins a two-day policy meeting today and could clarify its remarks further when the meeting concludes on Wednesday.

I love the core too, i think it's a waste to throw it out.
Now for the mango cutting.
-Slice the mango lengthwise next to the seed.
-Turn mango over and repeat on the other side.
-slice out the pulp by cutting between the mango pulp and the skin.
-Cut remaining pulp from the outer edge of the mango seed.
-Slice the pulp between the mango and the skin.
Cut it up in cubes and enjoy.
i learned how to cut a pineapple loooooong ago... fresh pineapple is the best...
geez, now i am craving the pineapple softserve at the dole plantation in hawaii!
oh, thanks for the tips- shoneyjoe! It sounds like you have been doing this for a while :)
I have never looked closely at a pineapple and they are somewhat intimidating- so I buy the cut up stuff.
The container waste is an important issue, and I can probably save some cash by purchasing the whole thing. thanks :)
I try to get one that's heavy for its size, with firm skin (no soft spots) and bright lively leaves. Try smelling the bottom of it - if it's too sweet, generally it's already starting to ferment, but it should definitely smell pineappley. And of course, there's the old trick of getting them home, ripping off the crown of leaves, and flipping the guy upside-down to let the sugars redistribute before cutting and serving. Otherwise, the bottom sometimes tends to taste sweeter than the top.
Yum, how do you pick a pineapple? How do you tell if it's good or not, i never know how to choose one.
Stacey Cakes
Yum, could you please do one of these how-to's with a mango. I love them, but i find them super difficult to cut up?

Ex-Satanist Details Illuminati Spiritual Plan
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
No secret society is more controversial than the Illuminati, yet almost nothing of the truth of this mysterious ancient Order is available in the public record. Propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, paranoia and downright fantasy are rife. Some have even described the Illuminati as pan-dimensional, shape-shifting Reptilians from another world!
The Illuminati have become the peg upon which anyone can hang their favorite and most outlandish conspiracy theories. They are the "men behind the curtain", the "ultimate puppetmasters", fascists, communists, bankers, Jews, monarchists, anti-monarchists, lizards, you name it. They support "big" government, high taxes and the sinister New World Order, based on a single global currency. They want to build death camps and reduce the world's population to one billion souls.
So much for the penny-dreadful nonsense churned out by the simple minded pied pipers of Conspiracy World.
The truth of the real Illuminati is enormously more fascinating. The present Grand Master of the Illuminati has authorized the release into the public arena, for the very first time, of the facts concerning the ancient Order.
Now you can discover for yourself the extraordinary nature of this secret society, its esoteric Gnostic and Hermetic religion known as Illumination, and how it represents the greatest hope for humanity in overthrowing the Devil-worshiping Abrahamic religions and the Old World Order of elite, dynastic families of privilege that run the planet, such as the Bush family, the Rothschilds and the British Royal Family.
It's time to build a meritocratic world, a world free of privilege and religious brainwashing, a world where the super rich are brought down to earth. It's time for a New World Order where humanity can devote itself to its true purpose: creating a Community of Gods, a Society of the Divine. Don't you want to join the greatest adventure in human history? The Illuminati offer nothing less than ultimate transformation, and the truth concerning the supreme object of humanity's spiritual quest - the Holy Grail itself.

She called me Jeff during sex, I just kept going like nothing happened. To think, if I was a woman that would be a problem.
My flask crushed my baggie full of aderall in my backpack, why can't my demons just live together in peace
so when he was about to cum, he screamed his mother's name and continued to pray for forgiveness. wtf
My mom woke me up in a bubble bath this morning.
U should just post that picture of u two on facebook with the caption, does anyone know this girl? If so please tell her to take plan b, thanks
my drunken justification for peeing in her closet was that her shoes were ugly
Disregard the shoes in the freezer.
He told me he doesn't want to fuck anymore because he needs to focus on school. Either he grew a vagina or he's secretly gay, it has to be one of the two.
Cutting up lines with the edge of my birth control packet. Just reminding you this is the person you've CHOSEN to be monogamous with.
i'm teaching a bunch of people how to grow weed over snapchat. no shame.

I just watched Dave Chappelle quit stand up. Out in the Comcast Theater in Hartford, Connecticut, shivering in the open air, I can't think that this is anything else. I felt this coming just five minutes after the silver curtain had dropped dramatically, by which point the former Comedy Central star had barely gotten any jokes out. We all knew it was five minutes because, with an edge in his voice, Chappelle had ticked off the time.

Bless David Sedaris' heart. These are the kind of things you notice as a waitress. I've also found that many straight men will create what we like to refer to as a "gay buffer." When a group of 2 or more (presumably straight) guys are required to sit at a place like the bar of a diner or restaurant, they will inevitably leave at least one seat between themselves and the next man in line. Because god forbid if their elbows touch while eating that might mean they're boning each other.
Or if you are taking public transit with your bros, you can't possibly sit next to each other, no, everyone needs his own pair of seats, even if that means other people traveling with each other can't sit together and get talked over by the bros who won't just sit with each other.

I saw this at the science centre and they had little testimonials that had people talking about how generally the view on prosthetics is "if it's functional it's fine" but having something that is functional, and sometimes obvious and embarrassing turn into art is something a really appreciate.
