The next phase of evolution for green building design
As you may know, CSA joined the USGBC in 2002 and we have been members ever since. Our staff began to become individual members of the USGBC when chapters began to be formed in Florida in 2003-2004. Currently, our entire staff are members or the USGBC Florida Chapter.
Maybe you've heard… the Florida Chapter is a new USGBC entity, and I have the skinny on why and how it formed.

Down payments at 1%: A good idea?
Question: Is a 1 percent down payment mortgage a good idea?
Phil Blair, Manpower
YES: Home buyers, especially first-time buyers, are often frustrated with saving for their down payments as the properties appreciate and the down-payment target keeps moving higher. But this new program does not discount the importance of the home buyers having the dependable resources to pay much higher monthly payments due to the loan balances being higher.
Kelly Cunningham, National University System
YES: Renters already consistently pay a monthly amount for housing, essentially paying the mortgage of invested owners. While otherwise credit worthy and capable of qualifying for a mortgage, coming up with such a massive down payment, particularly in excessively priced housing markets such as San Diego, is a monumental hurdle to overcome. So long as applicants can qualify with stable income, credit history, and not otherwise be saddled by excessive debt, lenders may profitably offer 1 percent mortgage programs.
David Ely, San Diego State University
NO: Creative mortgage products do not address the fundamental problem -- that of a shortage of affordable housing in many U.S. cities and prices out of reach for many first-time home buyers. The low down payment generally comes with a higher interest rate and the added expense of mortgage insurance. And, the slim amount of equity in the home provides almost no cushion against losses if the economy experiences a recession and home prices drop.
Gina Champion-Cain, American National Investments
NO: All tenets of financial planning strongly discourage limited equity to debt ratios. When you consider that 1 percent qualifying equity is roughly equal to a single year's property tax payment, it's clear that the prospective homeowner is precariously stretched. Loss of any income, a healthcare emergency or a housing market correction are all potential causes for a foreclosure scenario at this equity level. This is a program not to be encouraged.
Alan Gin, University of San Diego
YES: The biggest impediment to home ownership, particularly in a high cost region like San Diego, is the large down payment that needs to be made. Many potential buyers cannot save the amount required for a down payment, especially when rents are soaring as well. A 1 percent down payment would allow more people to achieve home ownership. However, to avoid the problems with trouble loans that helped trigger the Great Recession, strict requirements in terms of income and ability to pay need to be enforced.
James Hamilton, UC San Diego
NO: This kind of arrangement works out fine for everybody as long as house prices and the buyer's income keep going up. But there's never any guarantee of that, and problems for individuals and the financial system can start to snowball when losses start coming in on the downside. Buying a home is a serious commitment, and if you haven't been able to set aside any savings in preparation, you're better off renting.
Gary London, London Moeder Advisors
NO: This down payment requirement must be missing a zero! At 1 percent, this is less a borrower commitment and more like a security deposit for a rental, inviting default in the event of a valuation downturn. The lender should require high qualification standards to minimize the risk of this calamity. The better approach to encourage higher home ownership would be to loosen underwriting standards, but still require at least a 10 percent down payment.
Norm Miller, University of San Diego
NO: Except for the benefit provided for veterans and supported by the VA, low down-payment mortgages for others are very risky. Unbiased appraisals could prevent some buyers from overpaying, but appraisers are given the price targets they need to hit, which results in 93 percent of all appraisals hitting or exceeding the purchase price. This results in an overpriced comp which in turns supports the next overpriced purchase and leads to housing bubbles. Bad idea!
Jamie Moraga, IntelliSolutions
She is not participating this week.
Austin Neudecker, Rev
NO: Unless tremendous diligence is done on the borrower, these plans are new versions of the financial mechanisms that led to the last mortgage crisis. We must ensure that people who take out loans are able to pay. These instruments may sound great, but help developers continue to inflate the average price of buying a home, which is now 10 times average annual salaries vs. two to three times in the past.
Bob Rauch, R.A. Rauch & Associates
NO: Nothing-down loans were big losers for lenders and borrowers during the fairly recent housing bust. The latest version of the "near nothing down" mortgage is supposedly different but this is a bad idea. Housing values have a tendency to decline after years of positive growth. Under federal rules, applicants must demonstrate an ability to repay debt, have solid credit histories and scores and must document everything. That, however, is not a guaranteed safety net.
Lynn Reaser, Point Loma Nazarene University
NO: It risks leading people to assume greater debt than they may be able to handle over time, particularly if they lose their jobs or encounter unexpected medical or other expenses. This is a particular risk in the case of Guild Mortgage, which allows as much as 50 percent of a homebuyer's income to go for interest and principal payments on all sources of debt. Another home price downturn could quickly trigger defaults as equities turn negative.
John Sarkisian, SKLZ
NO: Giving this type of incentive to buyers in the current housing market feels like repeating the mistakes of the past. Current data has home prices in San Diego at all time highs. Should there be another correction these home buyers will have negative equity. We have seen what happens when people have no equity in there homes. They don't make payments.
Chris Van Gorder, Scripps Health
NO: Under the right circumstances, the program could benefit home buyers who have sufficient income and manage their credit wisely, but are challenged to save for a down payment in a high-cost housing market. The program has relatively conservative underwriting requirements, but with such little initial equity in their homes, buyers could find themselves upside down on mortgages in even a small housing market downturn. That could mean we see loan defaults go up again.

Feb. 25 update: Ground settlement near the viaduct is safe, expected
Keeping the Alaskan Way Viaduct safely open to traffic during SR 99 tunnel construction is a top priority. It's one of the main reasons we're boring a tunnel – to minimize disruption at the surface as we replace the viaduct.
Recent media reports have stated that ground settlement due to tunnel construction could cause us to close the viaduct. These reports are inaccurate.
The viaduct is still vulnerable to earthquakes, but it remains safe for everyday use. The viaduct settled as a result of the Nisqually earthquake and we strengthened the viaduct in those areas so it remains safe for drivers.
We have no plans to close the viaduct until after the tunnel opens to traffic. Crews inspect the structure four times per year – the next inspection is scheduled for this weekend – and have taken a number of steps to protect it during construction.
We anticipated some ground settlement would occur during construction of the tunnel, which is taking place near the viaduct. That is why the viaduct has been strengthened in this area and more than 100 monitors have been installed on the viaduct to measure how much the ground beneath the structure moves.
Those monitors told us that the viaduct settled up to four-tenths of an inch at one location along the viaduct near where tunnel construction is underway. This settlement is well within the limits established by WSDOT's structural engineers.
We will continue to carefully monitor the viaduct during construction and will take additional steps to reinforce the viaduct if needed.
We'll be posting additional details soon about the work we've done to protect the viaduct. In the meantime, please feel free to contact us if you have questions or concerns.

A Changing of the Guard
As dusk gives way to darkness around 6:30, the sky comes alive with the constellations of winter and some of the brightest stars in the sky. High in the south stands Orion, facing west toward the bull Taurus. Behind the hunter come his hounds, Canis Major and Minor. Above Orion are the stick-like figures of the Gemini twins, and to their east is a loop of stars forming Auriga the charioteer. The luminaries of these constellations themselves loosely form the Great Winter Circle, in which the waxing gibbous moon sits right in the middle Wednesday the 17th.
While the winter constellations dominate the evening sky, those of spring are gathering to the east. At midnight, Leo the lion shines almost directly overhead, with Virgo and Boötes high in the east. As dawn draws near, Scorpius sprawls above the southern horizon.
The pre-dawn skies are also host to all the naked-eye planets.
Highest of the planets is Jupiter, rising around 9pm and midway between the bright star Regulus of Leo and Spica of Virgo. This is the best time of year for watching Jupiter. Even a modest telescope will reveal the gaseous giant's equatorial bands and Great Red Spot as well as the planet's four largest moons.
The next planet in line, Mars, doesn't rise until 1am, as far to the east of Spica as Jupiter is to the west. Over the next few months, the planet rises earlier and grows brighter nearing its closest approach to earth in late May.
Saturn rises around 3am and is over the south-southeast horizon near dawn. Antares, the heart of the scorpion, is less than 10 degrees to the lower right. While the planet doesn't climb especially high, its rings are tilted at a good angle for telescope viewing.
The coming sun begins to bleach the eastern sky by the time Venus crests the horizon, but she shines so bright she easily cuts through the glare. But you may have to scour the skyline to find Mercury, which is less than four degrees below the Morning Star at dawn Saturday.

Kazakhs stop nuclear testing (Nevada-Semipalatinsk Antinuclear Campaign), 1989-1991
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Beginning on August 29, 1949, Soviet officials conducted aboveground nuclear tests at the Semipalatinsk facility in Kazakhstan. More than one million people resided in villages in the Semipalatinsk oblast. In the next oblast, Karaganda, there were two million residents. Until 1963, all tests were above ground and created large, radioactive clouds that engulfed villages in the area, resulting in skyrocketing rates of cancer and other diseases. After 1963, the tests were conducted below ground. However, on February 12 and 17, 1989, radioactive material leaked from the underground facility, towards the residents of neighboring areas, once again threatening their lives.
Attention was paid to this matter when, on February 26, 1989, Olzhas Suleimenov, a poet and candidate for the Congress of People's Deputies interrupted a reading of his poetry on national television to speak on the matter of nuclear testing at Semipalatinsk. He called on concerned citizens to come together and demonstrate their disapproval. Two days later, 5,000 Kazakhs from a wide variety of backgrounds gathered at the National Writer's Union's headquarters, and, under the leadership of Vladimir Yakimets and Maidan Abishv (among others), formed the first meeting of the Nevada-Semipalatinsk Antinuclear Movement. Named in solidarity with those demonstrating against the Nevada Test Site in the United States, they hoped to draw attention to the shared destiny that nuclear capacity indicated.
By the end of the meeting, they had adopted a declaration entitled "High Time," which called for: (1) the closure of the Semipalatinsk facility and a cleanup of the area; (2) the end of nuclear weapon production; (3) citizen control over nuclear waste; (4) the creation of a map showing the extent of radiation damage in the Soviet Union; and (5) the elucidation of the plight of radiological victims in the Soviet Union. They stated that their end goal was to abolish nuclear weapons worldwide. Circulated as a petition, "High Time" received over a million signatures within days.
On August 1, 1989, the Supreme Soviet adopted a resolution, authored by Suleimenov, calling for a moratorium on all nuclear testing by the United States and Soviet Union.
The Nevada-Semipalatinsk Antinuclear Movement began holding regular rallies near the test sites, but the largest documented demonstration was on August 6, 1989, the 44th anniversary of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima. Approximately 50,000 people converged at the foot of the Karaulnaya volcano beside Semipalatinsk, and threw rocks at the test site, following the Kazakh tradition of tossing stones at evil. At the August rally, a statement was adopted that read, "Our consciousness is poisoned by the fear of the future. We are afraid of drinking water, eating food, giving birth to our children."
Demonstrations continued, and on November 17, 1989, Chair of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, Nikolai Ryzhkov announced that there wouldn't be any nuclear testing for the rest of the year (1989). A week later, Deputy Prime Minister Igor Belousov announced that there wouldn't be any testing through January 1990.
Though not seen supporting the movement, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbaev was quietly supportive, hoping that they would bring about a resolution that he could usher through the legislative system. In November of 1989, the Supreme Soviet adopted a four part resolution on environmental issues, and a section of it requested that the government consider closing Semipalatinsk, and conduct more extensive studies at Novaya Zemlya, the Soviet test site in the Arctic. Though the resolution lacked the votes to pass, the antinuclear activists balked at this proposition, unwilling to pass their suffering onto another group. They formed the Novaya Zemlya-Nevada Committee with their Arctic allies, and pledged to fight until nuclear testing ended for all of the Soviet Union.
In December 1989, Suleimenov travelled to the United States, where he met with Kazakhstan's allies in the anti-nuclear movement, like American Peace Test and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW). During his trip, the Soviet Union admitted that they had cancelled eleven out of eighteen planned nuclear tests, because of the burgeoning movement. Protests and demonstrations at Semipalatinsk continued, and, with the lack of testing there, began to focus on Novaya Zemlya. In early 1990, in an effort to placate activists, the Soviet government promised a total of 27 more tests, and the closure of the site by 1993. This was rejected as insufficient.
The strengthened alliance between Kazakh and American antinuclear groups lead to a conference co-sponsored by the Nevada-Semipalatinsk Antinuclear Movement and IPPNW in May of 1990. Nearly 300 delegates from around the world gathered to discuss antinuclear strategy, and bear witness to the sickness and despair that existed in Kazakhstan as a result of nuclear testing. The delegates were greeted by 20,000 cheering demonstrators, brandishing signs and flags.
During the summer of 1990, the miners of Kazakhstan threatened to go on strike over their list of demands during contract negotiations. Their chief demand was an end to nuclear testing at Semipalatinsk.
In September 1990, Greenpeace sailed a ship into the waters of Novaya Zemlya, where they confronted Soviet guards, and tested the radioactive contamination levels of the area. Energy continued to build, and international attention continued to heighten, as the suffering of children and families was covered the media.
Despite the international outrage, the Soviet Government was able to secretly conduct a test on October 24, 1990, at Novaya Zemlya. This was the last nuclear test to take place in the Soviet Union. In December of 1990, the Kazakhstan parliament passed a bill banning nuclear weapons testing in the republic. In August 1991, the President of Kazakhstan officially closed Semipalatinsk from nuclear testing, and opened it to activists for rehabilitation. In October 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev established a yearlong moratorium on Soviet nuclear testing, and three weeks later, Boris Yeltsin banned nuclear testing in Russia for one year, and specifically stated that Novya Zemlya would never be used again.
By closing Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan and the Soviet Union became the first nation to close a nuclear test site, anywhere on earth.
Having eradicated nuclear testing within Kazakhstan, the Nevada-Semiplatinsk Antinuclear Movement continued to act in solidarity with other groups struggling against nuclear testing around the world, particularly in the United States. They continue that work to this day.

If you can't buy Snapchat, be like Snapchat. Years ago, Facebook was rebuffed when it tried to purchase the popular company pioneering camera-first sharing. Since then, it has been trying hard to copy most popular features of Snapchat with varying degrees of success.
Starting Tuesday, the social media giant is rolling out a new app update, which includes more Snapchat like features. With this update, you'll be able to open phone's camera to do a photo or video post by tapping the camera icon on the top left corner of your Facebook app.
The reason behind this feature is simple. The company wants to let your phone's camera "do the talking" since people are posting photos and videos more than blocks of texts. Like Snapchat, there are some animations and other interactive filters, as well as a new twist to dressed-up photos.
Besides, there's a new "stories" feature that is already available on Messenger and Instagram. It will allow you to post photos and videos as part of a visual collection atop News Feed, which will stay live for 24 hours. No stories will appear on your News Feed or Timeline unless you post them.
If you want to share your story with specific friends, you have that option too. With the new "Direct" feature, you can share individual photos and videos with specific friends for a limited time.
The features will be available on both iOS and Android. Facebook might not be successful to acquire Snapchat, but with these features, it has successfully slowed down the app's growth rate.

Neither September nor the two months preceding were good months for the eurozone. Factories saw demand fall and countries saw unemployment rise as Markit Economics said the activity—or, rather, lack of it—indicated a "new recession."
Reuters reported Monday that according to Markit Economics' eurozone purchasing managers' index (PMI), factories in the eurozone were hard hit in the three months to September despite cutting prices. Although September's PMI actually increased to 46.1 from August's level of 45.1, it clocked its fourteenth month below 50—the level that denotes economic contraction.
"Despite seeing some easing in the rate of decline last month, manufacturers across the euro area suffered the worst quarter for three years in the three months to September," Chris Williamson said in the report. Williamson, chief economist at Markit, continued, "The sector will act as a severe drag on economic growth. It therefore seems inevitable that the region will have fallen back into a new recession in the third quarter."
Bloomberg reported that unemployment in the region was also at its highest level on record. The European Union's statistics office in Luxembourg released figures Monday indicating that the August level of joblessness was 11.4%, the highest since the data series began in 1995. Figures for June and July unemployment were revised upward, and reflected the same 11.4% rate.
"There is simply not enough growth in the euro region to create sufficient jobs and the unemployment rate still has not reached its peak," said Thomas Costerg before the report was issued. Costerg, an economist at Standard Chartered Bank in London, was quoted saying, "A worrying trend is that the number of unemployed is now also expanding in core countries like Germany, which had been rather sheltered up to now."
Although Germany's unemployment rate stayed at 5.5% for the month of August, the country's Federal Labor Agency had said last week that the number of people without jobs rose in September for the sixth straight month. Eurostat said that unemployment in France was steady for August at 10.6%, while in Spain it rose to 25.1%. That's the highest in the region.
"An end to the horror is not in sight," said Carsten Brzeski in the report. Brzeski, senior European economist at ING Group in Brussels, was quoted saying, "Unemployment rates are still increasing and look set to increase further. It is no longer an exclusive peripheral problem as labor markets in core countries are also weakening. All of this could make unemployment the next big issue of the eurozone crisis management, making calls for more eurozone solidarity louder."

"We are very excited about our collaboration with CouponMob," said Tara Pagni, executive director of customer acquisition at CouponNetwork.com. "It was an ideal partnership as we share the same goals to help consumers find more online savings."
Evanston, IL (PRWEB) August 22, 2011
CouponMob® (http://www.CouponMob.com), a comprehensive savings portal for everyday consumer purchases, today unveiled printable grocery coupons on CouponMob.com. CouponMob partnered with CouponNetwork.com (http://www.CouponNetwork.com), powered by Catalina (http://www.CatalinaMarketing.com), to provide grocery coupons and meet demand among CouponMob members for savings opportunities at the grocery store.
"Many of our more than one million members have been emphatically asking for printable grocery coupons, and we couldn't be happier about partnering with the clear industry leader in grocery coupons to meet this demand," said Michael Cashion, CouponMob CEO. "Despite growth in other types of coupons, more demand exists for grocery coupons than any other savings vehicle, and now they're part of what makes CouponMob the Web's leading shopping and savings portal."
Consumer demand for savings opportunities began a resurgence in 2009, and several trends have emerged. Online access to savings has spurred considerable growth in paperless coupons, for example. According to research from Nielsen, the online redemption of coupons grew 263 percent in 2009 alone, and although daily deals and online shopping coupons have grown by leaps and bounds, consumers still redeem the vast majority of coupons (65 percent) at conventional grocery stores.
"We are very excited about our collaboration with CouponMob," said Tara Pagni, executive director of customer acquisition at CouponNetwork.com. "It was an ideal partnership as we share the same goals to help consumers find more online savings on the items they need and want. Our team looks forward to a long term partnership and expanding the printable grocery coupon space together."
The launch of grocery coupons expands on an already busy summer for CouponMob. In June, CouponMob announced a limited time $10 promotion for all members. This promotion remains active for all new members. In July, the savings portal launched Today Only product sales and announced it now offers Local Steals in 13 U.S. markets.
In addition to the grocery coupons, Local and National Steals, Today Only product sales, and online shopping coupons now available at CouponMob.com, the savings portal will launch a comprehensive member rewards program in the third quarter.

So, it's Good Friday, and we forgot all about making hot cross buns yesterday (again!) to have for breakfast this morning.....
When I got up this morning and decided I'd make some in time for brunch, I realised that my yeast was old and past it and wasn't going to rise anything..... Not to be defeated, I decided on the experimental option, creating a batch of soda bread style hot cross buns! Not only do these require no yeast, no kneading and no rising, they would be ready in time for breakfast! Brilliant.
So if you, like me, forgot to make any yummy buns in time for Good Friday, the good news is you still have time to make this version! From start to finish you can have these ready in about 40 minutes, leaving the rest of your day devoted to holiday festivities and relaxation!
Soda bread style Hot cross buns (makes 8-10 buns)
400g (3 cups) Whole spelt flour
100g (1 cup) rye flour
1 tsp fine sea salt
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Zest of an orange
1/4 tsp ground allspice or cloves
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
100g (1 cup) currents or raisins
400ml yoghurt (soya works well)
1-2 tbsp milk (I used oat milk)
For the cross:
25g (1/4 cup) rye flour
25g (1/4 cup) tapioca flour
4 tbsp water
1 tsp melted coconut oil
For the glaze:
1 tbsp maple syrup or refined sugar free apricot jam*
3 tbsp hot water
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
In a large bowl, sift together the flours, bicarb, spices, orange zest and salt. Add the yoghurt and 1-2 tbsp milk & combine lightly. Tip out onto a work surface and just bring the ingredients all together to form a very slightly sticky dough, you don't really want to knead the dough as the buns will become too dense.
Split the dough into 8 pieces (for generous sized buns)!
Shape each piece of dough into a ball and pop them onto a couple of lightly floured baking trays.
With a sharp knife, make a cross on the top of each bun.
Next mix up your ingredients for the crosses, and pipe the cross into the cross on each bun.
At this point you could lightly brush the tops of the buns with milk if you like for a more golden crust.
In a small bowl, dissolve the maple or jam in the hot water and set aside ready for glazing.
Take them out of the oven and glaze them with the honey mix while still piping hot. Leave for 5 minutes for the glaze to form a sticky coating and serve still warm!
These are very good eaten as they are, or spread with a little coconut oil.
Wishing you a very happy Easter!

Economists, CRE Industry Begin to Assess 'Trump Effect' on Property Markets
Like many business sectors, the U.S. real estate industry on Wednesday began to grapple with the unexpected economic and regulatory impact of an upcoming Trump presidency after the famous reality TV star and Manhattan real estate mogul defied pundits and pollsters to defeat Hillary Clinton and become president-elect of the United States. Although global stock markets girded for a Brexit-style tumult following Tuesday's election, calm prevailed as the shock of the election results wore off and was quickly replaced by the realization that the same party now controls the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives for the first time since 2005, when George W. Bush was in the White House. With the Republican control of Congress and the executive branch, brokers, economists and industry leaders weighed in on the potential effects on U.S. property and capital markets, citing potentially reduced political gridlock, significant tax reform, increased protective measures for U.S. trade policy and rollbacks in the nation's financial and business regulatory framework.

Peak Housing 2.0 Sam Zell Dumps 23,000 Apartments in 2007 Deja Vu
If you've been apartment shopping in the US lately, you might have noticed that rents are becoming more and more unaffordable seemingly by the month. We've documented the inexorable rise in the cost of renting on too many occasions to count, but for those who need a refresher, we recommend rereading one of our more lengthy treatments in "The Mystery Of The 'Missing Inflation' Solved, And Why The US Housing Crisis Is About To Get Much Worse", published late last month. In it, we explained why riotous laughter invariably ensues every time the Fed tells Americans that inflation is negligible. In short, the collapse of the housing bubble transformed America into a nation of renters as the following chart of the home ownership rate makes abundantly clear. Read More ...

A Deal to Reduce a $75 Rent Increase in L.A. just got Twisted
A sizable rent increase is probably coming your way. So is a sizable earthquake. The L.A. City Council last week approved a deal that will force landlords to upgrade earthquake prone buildings and force tenants to pay for it with rent increases as high as $75 a month. Council leaders promised that they'd get back to the table and work out an after-the-fact compromise, likely one in which landlords and tenants wuld aplit the upgrade costs. In that scenario, renters in upgraded buildings would see rent increases of $38 or less for about seven years. Read More ...

an issuer, which offers securities on the Internet or effects sales to Wisconsin residents
following such an offering from relying upon any other applicable exemption pursuant to
section 551.22 or 551.23 of the Law, nor shall this Order relieve such persons from
liability under section 551.41 of the Law.

You are feeling weighed down by a plethora of problems, both big and small. They seem to require more and more of your attention, but you must not give in to those demands. When the difficulties in your life feel as if they're closing in on you, break free by spending quality time with Me. You need to remember who I am in all My Power and Glory. Then, humbly bring Me your prayers and petitions. Your problems will pale when you view them in the Light of My Presence.

Exodus 3:14
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.

| 7.6°C Belfast
This is the space where we hoped to give you a full analysis of Northern Ireland's election results.
Some general trends are apparent. For instance, a consolidation of the position of the two bigger parties, but the detail is missing because of the failure of the electoral office to make progress on the count. At close of polling last night only 35 out of 108 seats were filled.
As yesterday evening wore on a variety of excuses came, some of them sounding like a bad Irish joke or a scene from Father Ted.
Ballots in Fermanagh and South Tyrone had been soaked by rain on the way to the count centre and manually restored to legibility using hairdryers. Then a table had collapsed spilling votes on the floor.
In Foyle postal votes had been lost and then found again. Northern Ireland was made a laughing stock of across the UK, where the Scottish and Welsh Assembly counts were finished hours earlier.
Through it all Graham Shields, the chief electoral officer, batted off criticism.
"Everyone knows usually an Assembly count can last for two days. This is no different. We are still in the first day of a two-day count," Mr Shields said last night with only a handful of results in, implying that everything was going more or less to plan.
Yet just a day earlier he had been confidently predicting that most first counts would be in by early evening, and that some counts like West Belfast might well be completed.
Yesterday, though, he presented this as an impossible task.
"I had 55 full-time staff for all of the election across the constituencies in Northern Ireland. Most of the staff who are engaged here today are members of the public who came in to help us in the interests of democracy in Northern Ireland," he said.
However, the staff he referred to were paid for their services, and had been on training courses.
The electoral office had decided not to count overnight and, to make matters worse, some counts like Strangford and South Down were ended around 9pm instead of continuing until 11pm as planned.
"People who are being critical of the amount of time taken here today would, I dare say, be much more critical if the results that were coming out were inaccurate or were not right," he said.
"This exercise is about accuracy, it is not about speed, it is about getting the thing right."
Yet last night's fiasco cannot be described as a quality operation.
To put it at its most basic, there is room for doubt about the security of ballots that had been exposed to the elements, tossed to the ground by collapsing furniture or, lost and then found again.
"I do what I am required to do by law and the law has stated that there would be three elections. I am administering them and adhering to my responsibilities under the law, but this is a complicated process and people just have to accept that. That is just how it is. We will take as long as it takes to get the thing right and that is what we are doing," he stated, excusing the leisurely pace.
Despite this explanation, his office's performance elicited a vote of no confidence from victorious candidates.
Willie Hay, the speaker of the last Assembly who was elected on the first count in Foyle, described it as "a disgrace".
John O'Dowd, who himself topped the poll for Sinn Fein in Upper Bann, said that the story of the election so far was the failure of the electoral office to organise the poll properly.

In honor of Valentine's Day, I want to share with you the story behind the best pick-up line ever.
"Give me a kiss and make it worth your while."
Spoken by my second husband. Way before I ever thought I would have him as my second husband much less even have a second husband.
I had been divorced from the father of my children for a year or two. And I had met my not-too-soon-to-be second husband in his restaurant one morning. He was very friendly. To the kids. He kind of ignored me. Which was okay. I wasn't there for flirting. Just for some chicken, pasta and bread to go.
As often happens, once I knew who he was, I began seeing him all over our small-ish town. In the grocery store. On the road. And in the local bar that we both frequented. (Of course, I only went on the nights that I did not have parent duty. Duh.)
We became friendly, chatting it up when we ran in to each other.
Then, one Thursday night at the bar, he won my heart. Or at least made me laugh. Which is the way to my heart. Well, that and food.
I was there with this guy that I had been dating for a few months. He was kind of possessive. And I knew it wasn't long-term. He was nice enough but I was getting a little tired of his desire to spend more time together. When I had my kids, I just wanted to be with my kids. I didn't want to do the whole boyfriend and his kids extended family kind of thing.
This night, my not-too-soon-to-be second husband was flirting with me. And I was flirting back. My ball and chain boyfriend was not very happy. I think he knew that his days with me were numbered and he was trying to hold on to our relationship as best he could.
I got up from our table outside to go to the bathroom. And before I made it to the back of the bar, there was not-too-soon-to-be second husband. He had gone around to the side entrance to "bump" in to me.
We stood there for a few moments laughing about something, talking closely because the band was loud. And in a flash, a third person was there. It was the soon-to-be ex-boyfriend.
He was not too happy. A little sweaty and flustered. And he asked, "Is there something going on here that I should know about?"
Not-too-soon-to-be second husband and I looked at each other. And we both shook our heads no. Soon-to-be ex-boyfriend continued on his way to the bathroom.
And then the best pick-up line ever came out of my not-too-soon-to-be second husband's mouth.
"You're already in trouble here. So you might as well give me a kiss and make it worth your while."
Oh, how I wanted to. I almost did. But I hate confrontation. Plus soon-to-be ex-boyfriend was my ride home.
But a few days later, soon-to-be ex-boyfriend became just ex-boyfriend. The final straw was him wanting to hire a clown to take my kids to dinner while he hosted a dinner party for me, my friends and my parents in honor of my birthday.
A few months later, not-too-soon-to-be second husband became my boyfriend. In a shot heard 'round the world. Or at least in our town.
And three years later, my boyfriend became my second husband. Now more commonly known as my husband, the one for me and the love of my life.
So Happy Valentine's Day babe. I love you.
The last 10 years have definitely been worth my while.

Prosecutors said Monday they have launched an investigation into documents purportedly written by the previous Park Geun-hye government regarding the leadership succession of Samsung in connection with the bribery scandal that removed Park from office.
On Friday, the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae, led by the liberal Moon Jae-in administration, revealed what it claimed to be a lengthy paper trail from its predecessor that possibly suggests backdoor support for a controversial merger of two Samsung affiliates in 2015 deemed vital to a smooth leadership transfer to Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong.
The discovery of the documents immediately drew spotlight as both Park and Lee are detained and standing trial on bribery charges in relation to the merger approval. The prosecution has accused Park of lending support to the deal in exchange for money from Lee.
The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said it received part of the documents from the independent counsel team in charge of the high-profile scandal and that it is planning to carry out a detailed analysis to verify the documents. The presidential office said earlier that they handed over copies of the documents to the special probe team.
Following the authentication process, the prosecution is expected to decide whether they will submit any of them to the court as evidence against the former president and the Samsung scion.
There is also a possibility that the prosecution may use the documents as probable cause to further tie Woo Byung-woo, then presidential secretary for civil affairs who is at the center of the scandal, to the case. Woo is being investigated without detention over a string of charges including dereliction of duty in connection with the scandal. (Yonhap)

"You are looking at what we believe are all the volcanic eruptions that have occurred on our planet in the last 50-plus years, and all the earthquakes," Cottrell says. "And starting in 1978 with the launch of UV active satellites, you are seeing all the sulfur dioxide emissions from the volcanoes."
The data for the animation comes from Cottrell's program and the U.S. Geological Survey, as well as remote sensing satellites operated by NASA. According to Cottrell, the "E3 App" (three "E"s for eruptions, earthquakes and emissions) is the first visualization to consolidate all three data sets.
"That's where the scientific power of a database like this comes in," she said. "Because you can start to look at the correlations."
For example, researchers who attempt to develop methods for forecasting quakes and volcanic eruptions might look at the app and find patterns that are difficult to recognize when looking at plain old numbers on a page. Forms of tectonic activity are almost always linked — earthquakes can trigger eruptions; movement of magma to the surface will send tremors through the Earth; some erupting volcanoes spew out huge plumes of sulfur and carbon, while others quietly belch gases all the time. The visualization aims to highlight links between the different phenomena that could prompt research on earthquake intervals, eruption size, tsunami probabilities and other characteristics of these events.
Findings from the Deep Carbon Observatory, a global research program aimed at understanding the way carbon cycles through the Earth, suggest that measuring the ratio of gas to carbon around volcanoes could help predict when they will erupt.
"Potentially, we can now see an eruption coming just by looking at gas emissions," geochemist J. Maarten de Moor, the lead author of a new study in the Journal of Geophysical Research, said in a statement.
Not shown on the app are years of data on quakes and eruptions before 1960, which the Global Volcanism Program has been collecting for almost 50 years. Using scientific observations, witness testimony, historical accounts and information from the geologic record, they are trying build a database of the planet's volcanic and earthquake activity since the beginning of the Holocene Epoch some 10,000 years ago.
It's a no simple task. Volcanic eruptions spew lava everywhere, creating a telltale rock signature that makes it easy for researchers to figure out when and where the outburst happened, even millennia after the fact. But earthquakes may shudder through the ground without leaving a lasting mark, and gas emissions can be as ephemeral as a cloud.
Identifying the links between the three E's could help Cottrell and her colleagues reconstruct what may have been happening in the ground and the atmosphere as prehistoric volcanoes erupted.
But beyond all the scientific applications, "It's just so cool," Cottrell gushed.
From the ground, it's easy to think of earthquakes and eruptions as dangerous, destructive and inimical to life. And it's true that these phenomena can be disastrous for the people who live through them. But tectonic activity is also part of what makes our planet habitable, according to Cottrell. It's a sign of the internal dynamo that produces Earth's protective magnetic field. It created the continents on which we now live. It may have supplied the fuel that gave rise to the very first organisms.
When earthlings go out in search of other habitable planets, we will measure the abundance of various elements to determine if they could house life. Oxygen is a sign of photosynthesis. Carbon could keep a planet warm. And something like sulfur could indicate volcanic activity and an internal dynamo that's still spinning.
If an alien spacecraft ever turned its spectrometers toward Earth, Cottrell said, its engineers may measure the emissions from volcanoes and think, "That's the atmosphere of a planet that is still alive."
