Super Wal*MartPosted by: | Comments
Wal-Mart Super Center
How important is the Wal*Mart Super Center?
Really, really important. Having this store locate in our Red Bluff Community is a big bonus and something we really need.
Right now, the published retail sales leakage figure is $92 million. Ninety two million dollars a year. What that means is that people from our town are leaving to go shopping somewhere else. Our residents are going to either Redding, Anderson or Chico to buy their goods. My assumption is that many of these people are traveling to the Anderson Wal*Mart Super Store or to the Redding Costco and other big-box retailers.
When this money leaves our Community, it hurts us all. When this money leaves our town, it creates jobs in other places – not here at home.
Not only should we be concerned about the money leaving, but I believe this project is good for the environment and our air quality. It's a big benefit to all of us to eliminate people making the long drive out of town to shop. It's conservation on all accounts when people can shop locally.
So, my thanks go out to the City of Red Bluff and the City Council for taking the correct stand on this issue. This is now in Judge Garaventa's hands, so let's hope this ends as it should – with folks shopping in Red Bluff.
Interesting Times – 2009Posted by: | Comments
Interesting Times – 2009
I once heard there is an old Chinese curse that says "May You Live in Interesting Times". Boy, have we experienced interesting times!!!
2009 may go down as the "Year of the Deal". According to our Tehama County Multiple Listing Service, for Tehama County, sales totaled 415 homes. That's not bad! However, the mean sales price was just $158,777 (the median sales price was $147,000). The average home sales price in 2006 was $271,000!!! . The only Buyers out there now seem to be bargain hunters and first-time home buyers.
The entire appraisal process was broken in 2009 and continues to be broken. The current system of required Appraisal Management Companies is hurting home sales, home values and the economy. Look for this system to be revised or revamped in 2010, but for now it's a big headache for home buyers, home owners, real estate agents and real estate lenders. The current system is costing everyone time and money.
But for now, it may be one of the best times in history for first-time home buyers. Interest rates are historically and unbelievably low, the market prices are low from supply and demand forces, prices are additionally low from artificial appraisal pressures and government lending programs are in full swing.
In addition, most of us believe that interest rates have nowhere to go but up. That makes it a great time to borrow now at low rates and pay back those cheap loans when inflation steps in. And, we all know that's coming.
Below is our latest graphical representation of the market. Please note that this information is primarily derived from the Tehama County Multiple Listing Service and may not reflect the activities of the entire market:

A FOUR-METRE model of the Man of Steel - the giant sculpture designed to overlook the M1 to the east of Sheffield - is to make its debut next month at the Global Manufacturing Festival.
Delegates will see the prototype before it goes on display at the Magna Science and Adventure Centre and Kelham Island Industrial Museum during the centenary of the invention of stainless steel.
The project aims to reflect the area's industrial heritage and highlight new materials technologies being developed at places such as the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre where the festival is being held from April 17 to 19.
Sculptor Steve Mehdi has seen his concept progress to a 30cm bronze maquette to the model which features a two metre high seated Man of Steel coated in stainless steel on top of a two metre column of coal.
Eventually it is intended that the 30 metre high final version - one-and-a-half times the height of the Angel of the North - will sit on a hill at Kimberworth, visible from the M1 Tinsley viaduct and Meadowhall. The coal column is designed to accommodate a visitor centre and education facilities.
The appearance at the manufacturing festival will raise the sculpture's profile and will be a launchpad for a £2.7m fundraising drive targeting businesses and sources such as the Heritage Lottery and possibly Europe.
So far the work has attracted money and expertise from across the region. After the model was machined at Sheffield University's AMRC at Catcliffe, a 'stainless' finish was applied at the Snuff Mill car body shop off Ecclesall Road.
Both Sheffield universities and Sheffield Chamber of Commerce have given their support, and Rotherham Council granted planning permission.
However, the city council has so far declined to be involved on the basis that it is a Rotherham project, said Mr Mehdi, who sees it as a regional attraction.
He hopes to persuade Sheffield to change its mind. In particular, he would like backing to release the £500,000 that power company E.ON earmarked for a replacement for the Tinsley cooling towers, which were demolished in 2008.
Mr Mehdi said: " It has cost an enormous sum to get the project to this stage and everyone has made substantial contributions with a belief that the project will ultimately benefit the community for many generations. It has personally cost me and my business partner a great deal of our own money, with one aim in mind, that the Sheffield City Region can truly have an identity it can be proud of, having waited so long since the demise of the Tinsley cooling towers."

The Pentacle, or five-pointed star, has been a symbol of power throughout human history. It generates both awe and fear within us, because of it's continuous presence in nature, and the complex beliefs surrounding its use in ritual Magick. Powerful symbols touch something deep within our psyche. They address our archetypal nature and create an emotional response that we often don't understand. This is part of what makes the Pentacle, and other symbols, so powerful. The Morningstar beautifully illustrates the pentacle at the core of nature. With the pentagram at its center, the beautifully orchestrated Arabesque design is formed. The lines gracefully extend and expand outward, creating an intricate wreath around the powerful center. Early Astronomers believed that the planet Venus traveled in the path of a pentagram. The Pentacle became a secret symbol of the Goddess Ishtar, as well as the Goddess Venus. The Greek Goddess Hygeia, goddess of healing, was also represented by the pentacle. The Morningstar truly represents the Goddess within. Throughout history, philosophers and Scientists have studied the pentagram and discovered its relationship to man and nature. The Pentacle is represented in many civilizations and cultures. As early as 3500 B.C. it symbolized imperial power in Ancient Mesopotamia. The Greek Philosopher, Pythagoras, (586B.C. - 506B.C.) believed the pentacle was the "number" of man, representing the five-fold division of the body. The image of man, within the pentacle, represents this study- the head being the upper triangle- arms within the side-pointing triangles- and feet in the lower triangles. The five points were marked with the symbols of the five visible planets. The five points also represented the five elements of earth, fire, water, air, and spirit. The Pentacle, or Pentad, is also the numerical symbol of Regeneration. This is illustrated artfully, beautifully, and continuously in Nature. One only needs to slice an apple in half to be reminded of the power and awe of this symbol. It is no wonder why The Pentacle has been adopted as a symbol of power, for so many, throughout history. The quest for power and its misuse, have created fear and misunderstanding of this ancient symbol of Truth. We must remember that the pentacle is a symbol of the power and truth in Nature- that which already is. An it harm none, do what thou will. An original design by Chris Bennett

Shane Co. has the industry's most generous and comprehensive upgrade and trade-in policy, created with your future in mind. For any Shane Co. diamond, ruby or sapphire you have mounted in a ring, as well as any stud earrings or solitaire pendants you purchase, you'll receive the full value that you paid as credit toward the purchase of any other gemstone of greater value. All that is required is a minimum one-dollar increase. To trade in any qualifying jewelry metal, simply spend double the original purchase amount.
|Original Ring
|Original Item
|Policy Requires You Spend This
|Minimal Total
|At least $1.00 greater
|At least double
|$1500 Credit
$2001 (minimum new purchase total)
- 1500 credit
|New Ring
|Minimum Cost for the New Ring and Diamond
Frequently Asked Questions
Can other Shane Co. jewelry like pearls and men's jewelry be upgraded or traded in?
Because pearls deteriorate over time and other materials such as rubber, leather, stainless steel, carbon fiber and tungsten, are either not meant to last a lifetime or are non-precious metals, we are unable to accept items with those materials for trade in or upgrade. For the same reasons, cobalt and titanium merchandise are also not eligible for trade-in or upgrade.
Can I trade in jewelry that was not purchased at Shane Co.?
Gold and some precious gemstones may have value on the wholesale market. Therefore, we may be able to offer you a trade-in allowance for your second-hand jewelry, based on the prevailing fair market value of its gemstones and metal. You may then use this allowance toward the purchase of Shane Co. jewelry, to the extent that your new purchase equals or exceeds the value or the jewelry you trade in.
How much will I receive for my Shane Co. diamond, solitaire pendant or solitaire earrings when upgrading?
You will receive the full, original amount you paid toward the purchase of the new diamond, solitaire pendant or solitaire earrings. You will never receive less than what you paid originally.
Can I apply my ring upgrade credit towards a new gemstone?
Our upgrade policy allows you to apply an upgrade towards new merchandise of the same material. For example, a credit for a ring can be applied only towards the purchase of another piece of metal jewelry (ring, bracelet etc.) In turn, a loose gemstone upgrade credit can only be applied toward the purchase of other gemstone or gemstone piece (solitaire earrings, solitaire pendants, etc).
How much will I receive for my other Shane Co. jewelry if I want to upgrade?
For any other Shane Co. merchandise made of gold, platinum, diamonds, rubies or sapphires, receive the full value as credit toward another piece of jewelry, provided your new purchase is double the value of the original purchase.

I'm wondering what is the best way to use Foundation elements like Tabs, Slider and Accordion, ...
(See http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/elements.php and http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/tabs.php)
Are there any best practices or tipps of how you are working with these?
I'm building a Drupal master-installation to start all new projects from.
Since december i'm using this wonderfull zurb-foundation implementation as the base theme.
Thank you very much for your work so far!
After setting up the main website structure in page.tpl.php i'm creating individual (node-) panel layouts (using the foundation code) which i'm then connecting to individual nodes / or node-types with panelizer.
So i may come up to panel-layouts for home-, blog-, or product-nodes.
Each node-type has several (content) fields, e.g. content-left, content-right, image-1, teaser-1, etc. which can then be easily placed in the node or node-type specific panel-region by drag and drop. -This works like a charm and saved me hours.
While using this approach i'm looking for an easy way to put a Foundation-element, like an accordion, on a node and keep it maintainable by a "normal" user. As of today, i'm putting the markup-code inside the fields-body, which is not fail-safe for authors.
By writing this, i think a module that works kind of a foundation-field formatter is what i'm looking for:
E.g. you create a new (html-)text-field with n-instances and format this as "Zurb-Foundation Accordion" or "Zurb-Foundation Tabs".
Will this be the "right" approach? What are the alternatives?
Comment #2micheas CreditAttribution: micheas commented
Personally I use display suite http://drupal.org/project/ds and add all the foundation classes.
I have not yet re written the display suite templates into using the foundation classes, as I don't use the display suite mullti column templates that often.
I use display suite a lot anyways so this just fit in my workflow.
Comment #3chrisjlee CreditAttribution: chrisjlee commented
Just discovered this project as well. This allows you to add css to your fields:
Comment #4ishmael-sanchez CreditAttribution: ishmael-sanchez commented
|» Fixed
Zurb-Foundation specific field-formatters to ease up the use of the Foundation-elements?
Besides the great suggestions from chrisjlee and micheas you could use the Fences module or make use of preprocessing in your sub-theming. Using preprocessing I have implemented Foundation Tabs and Accordion with a couple lines in the template.php or in a node template. Also you could use a couple views templates to implement Orbit or the Accordion. I have used both approaches to get Foundation elements to work.
Will a custom, separate module be the better choice? Or can this even be implemented in the theme itself?
Some Drupal contributors have already started to do this, see http://drupal.org/project/joyride, http://drupal.org/project/field_orbit, http://drupal.org/sandbox/dchronos/1309206. However, I don't plan to put any module dependencies on this theme and things can be implemented at the theme level without having to use a module.
Comment #7ishmael-sanchez CreditAttribution: ishmael-sanchez commented
@sweenyy thanks for your note and posting the file. I guess when I said templating I assumed you knew you could use views templating. Also if you read #4
Also you could use a couple views templates to implement Orbit or the Accordion
If people interested in using clearing, check out #1902710: Clearing Gallery with Views there is a example view and template file.
Comment #8drupik CreditAttribution: drupik commented
Hi all. I made module for views integration, currently orbit slider supported. If you want, please help review :)
Comment #11drupik CreditAttribution: drupik commented
Thanks sweeneyy!
it would be great to see custom formatters.
Now views_foundation is a full project, waiting for suggestions ;)
Comment #12paskainos CreditAttribution: paskainos commented
Has anyone tried incorporating Skinr? Seems like it'd be a perfect fit for something like this. I envision Foundation 4 + Skinr being for D7+ what Fusion + Skinr was for D6 - i.e. the ultimate combo. I'm considering creating some 'skins' to incorporate the Foundation 4 elements. Has anyone else made any attempts? Any ideas / suggestions? Interested in collaborating?
Comment #13fourmi4x CreditAttribution: fourmi4x commented
@paskainos : I also thought of that combination, particularly to add custom foundation classes to blocks.
I just tested it on blocks and nodes : it works very well so far!
All you have to do is to install Skinr, and go to Structure > Skinr to create your blocks skins and add your custom foundation classes :)

Two different queens met one another alongside a throne in an elaborate hall in Belfast yesterday.
One of these monarchs has earned the popularity of her subjects through decades of service to them, a commitment which has kept her active as she approaches age 90.
The other is a more complicated, at times villainous figure, who installed her illegitimate son in power through deception.
The first of these two women is the real Queen Elizabeth II, while the latter is the make-believe Queen Cersei Lannister in the hit TV series Games of Thrones.
After the encounter between the two women, the actress Lena Headey — who plays Queen Cersei — told the News Letter of her pleasure at being introduced to the bona fide royal at the show's studios in Titanic Quarter.
"The Queen was very sweet and present and interested," Lena said.
Despite being an actress who regularly appears in front of millions of viewers, Lena admitted to anxiety before meeting the royal visitors at the Paint Hall studios.
"Yes, I was totally nervous," she said.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh talked to the cast beside the set's extravagant throne yesterday, which they viewed but in which they did not actually sit.
"I think she was happy she didn't have to sit on that throne," said Lena.
The Queen and Prince Philip chatted to other stars of the show including 27-year-old Kit Harington, who plays a lord commander named of Jon Snow in the fantasy series.
After being introduced to the royal party, Kit said: "She's been on the throne for such a long time and seen so many things that for me to meet her and her to come to the set of Thrones is remarkable."
The Queen had numerous questions for the English actor about the production. "She wanted to know where we filmed and how long I had filmed for and what I liked about filming in Northern Ireland," Kit recalled.
In a visit lasting less than half an hour, the Queen and Prince Philip were shown around the large studio site, viewing props and costumes and sets, by the show's brainchilds, the American executive producers and writers David Benioff and Dan Weiss.
"The Queen couldn't have been more interested and curious," said David.
Game of Thrones has been filmed in numerous locations in Northern Ireland since 2009, with the Paint Hall studio as its main base.

Corporate credit yields indicate the rate at which companies can borrow money
"Corporate credit yields" is a general term for the rate at which companies can issue debt (that is, borrow money). Higher corporate credit yields mean more expensive borrowing rates for companies. So higher yields are generally negative for companies—especially those with high funding needs, including many upstream energy producers. These needs might include expensive capital expenditure (spending and investment) programs, acquisitions, and refinancing of debt coming due. Inversely, lower yields benefit companies, as they result in lower borrowing costs.
(Read more: Crack Spread 101 (Part 1: What's a crack spread?))
Yields finished slightly higher last week, negative for companies needing debt funding
For much of 2Q13, interest rates had been climbing at a rapid pace, as the market worried about the Federal Reserve curtailing stimulus measures. But through the first half of July, rates retreated somewhat, as the Fed signaled that the labor market would have to further improve before it would cut stimulus measures. Last week, however, the yield on the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Index, the benchmark corporate credit index for non–investment-grade companies (also known as high yield companies) increased from 6.11% on July 19 to 6.30% on July 26, resulting in a negative for high yield companies needing debt funding.
The Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index gauges where rates for high yield companies are trading
"High yield" is a term that classifies companies with below a BBB rating from rating agencies such as Standard and Poor's or Moody's. So high yield companies are generally companies with worse credit quality (which could be due to a number of factors, such as size, leverage, or diversification). You can monitor general corporate credit yields through an index such as the Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofAML) Index, which aggregates data from many corporate bonds. The chart above shows the yields on the BofAML U.S. High Yield Master II Index, which represents the universe of domestic high yield bonds. Recently, the yield on the BofAML HY Index touched its highest point in 2013 after nearly two months of rates increasing. However, the yield on the index has come down somewhat.
Upstream independent energy companies often spend more than internally generated cash flow and therefore must look to capital markets to raise funds
Investors should consider monitoring where corporate yields are because a material move upward in borrowing rates is negative for companies, as we saw earlier this year. This is especially true for companies that will need to raise money in the debt market and may be forced to do so at higher rates if yields move upward. Companies with planned capital spending above cash flow, for instance, will need to source the cash shortfall somewhere, and one option would be to issue bonds in the debt capital markets. Other companies that might need to access the debt markets include companies planning to make an acquisition, or companies with bond maturities coming due that need to be refinanced (and likely not enough cash on the balance sheet to simply pay the bond off). Many upstream independent energy companies spend more than internally generated cash flow—especially those in high growth mode with significant expansion and development plans.
Companies whose capex (capital expenditure, the funds a company uses to upgrade its physical assets) is likely to exceed their internally generated cash flow (as determined by consensus estimates of EBITDA and stated capex guidance) include Oasis Petroleum (OAS), Laredo Petroleum (LPI), Chesapeake Energy (CHK), and SandRidge Energy (SD).

Investors should monitor changes in high yield rates
Last week, the yield on the BofAML High Yield Master II Index inched up slightly, creating a slight negative for non–investment-grade companies intending to rely on debt financing in the near future. Prior to that, the movement higher in high yield rates over much of 2Q13 has been a medium-term negative. Given the volatility in the debt markets, companies needing funding may choose not to tap the markets for money now. But they could suffer if they wait and rates continue to move upward. Given the possibility of sudden rate movements as occurred over the two months, this is a factor that investors may wish to monitor—especially if they expect that a company will need access to the debt market in the near future. Note that many high yield energy companies are part of the Vanguard Energy ETF (VDE).

I am considering purchasing a single-owner 76 Cadillac Seville with almost 50,800 original miles. While test driving it, I hearding some noise in the rear. The mechanic selling it put it on the lift and said it needs rear wheel bearings. Is that a major job? What parts are needed? He said he would send it out for repair, because he is too busy right now and he might be spending around $500. Does that sound realistic?

Rather than waste resources on replacement parts, service center overhauls workflow with fast saws
December 2012 - Klein Steel Service Inc., Rochester, N.Y., decided to invest in new technology because it was using 20- to 30-year-old saws to cut mild alloy bars in various diameters. "After having some problems with our older saws where we needed to find replacement parts, we found we'd be down at least six to 12 weeks," says Dan Sile, operations manager.
In November 2011, the company purchased its first KastoTec4 KPC (Kasto power cutting) from Kasto Inc., Export, Pa. The new saw can cut diameters ranging from 4 inches through 16 inches. After using the saw, Klein purchased its second Kasto saw in August, upgrading to a fully automated version with a conveyor that cuts diameters of 5 inches through 16 inches. "The Kasto saws cut four times faster than our old saws," says Jim Sloan, director of quality and engineering at Klein. The company already had Kasto's storage retrieval system in place, as well as other saws. "We have a great ongoing working relationship with Kasto," Sloan adds.
Klein supplies OEMs and machine shops and cuts 10 different alloys of mild steel as well as stainless, tool and structural steel. In order to meet customer demand, the company needed to provide shorter lead times by pushing through more work in less time without sacrificing quality. "The majority of our customers spend a lot of time machining parts, whether for gears or drive shafts," Sile says. "By us having sawing machines that can cut more material faster, while maintaining tighter tolerances, we save customers time from their machining process."
Removing guesswork
With quicker turnover, operators contend with an array of sizes and alloys throughout the day. By using Kasto saws, operators only need to program the diameter or thickness of the material to be cut and its grade. "The machine will automatically adjust itself so operators no longer need to do that manually," Sile says. "It lowers the risk for human error and just lets the saw do what it needs to do.
"I think from an operator's point of view, we were concerned someone who was used to working on older equipment would have problems adjusting," Sile continues. "Instead, our guy wants to push through as much as he can. He's really embraced the machine and produces cuts at a high rate. It's eye-opening to watch technology work like that; the machine is his baby now."
The machine's ability to keep track of blade history particularly is helpful because operators can see how many inches of materials are cut during any length of time, as well as the blade efficiency produced by different blade models.
"Knowing so much about blade life is huge for me," Sile says. "It's important that I'm able to look at and see [cutting history] rather than manually write down figures in a sketch pad. This software tells me exactly what we've got for the history of the blade and blade life." Sile says the changes since using Kasto's machines have been significant, going from three to four days of blade life to seven to nine days for the two saws.
In addition to being an easier program to use, the added versatility of the Kasto saws allows the company to serve more industries such as the nuclear, alternative energy, oil and gas sectors, says Todd Zyra, COO at Klein.
Villainous vibrations
In order to achieve accurate cuts and maintain tight tolerances, a sawing machine needs to absorb the vibration caused by the machine when cutting through varying thicknesses of metal. "The biggest or worst enemy of every kind of cutting process is vibration that's been caused by the blade that interacts with the material being cut," says Werner Rankenhohn, president at Kasto. "Twenty or 25 years ago, the blade was the weakest link in the cutting process, and a solidly built sawing machine could easily handle the cutting process."
The reason the KastoTec4 KPC machines can withstand the vibration partially is due to the machine head that connects two band wheels filled with mineral cast to add extra mass to the overall machine. That extra weight eliminates most of the vibration transferred from the saw blade.
Kasto also redesigned the normal bend guides located in the two guide arms and added an additional two guides. Both additional guides are located between the driver and the idle band wheel, further removing the vibration caused by the blade. "That, in conjunction with a heavier duty motor and more horsepower, is the difference between the KastoTec KPC and a standard band saw," Rankenhohn says.
Unmanned machinery
Each customer cuts a different set of metals that need to meet certain tolerances and diameter thicknesses. In Klein's case, Kasto needed to ensure its saws were capable of running for long periods of time unmanned. Concerns an operator normally would be responsible for now are determined by the machine.
For example, when cutting for extensive durations, blade life must be monitored. As a blade becomes dull, it deviates from its true cut. "The machine notices this and slows down. Whether slowing down the down feed or slowing down the cutting process, the machine needs to act accordingly," Rankenhohn explains. "If you're using cutting fluids and there's no one there, the machine needs to know when it's running out of fluids by monitoring levels and telling someone so action can be taken." Kasto's machines send out emails alerting workers on-call that they need to either replenish the cutting fluid or change the blade because it's dull.
The increased blade life means less machine downtime and loss of valuable production time. Each time blades are changed, workers inspect the guides, chip wheels and interior of the machine. "They don't just take a blade out and put one on," Sile says. "It saves us about 20 to 25 minutes with each blade change, and that downtime adds up."
"We run five days a week, three shifts per day, cutting different materials for customers," Sloan says. "With the addition of these new saws, we do have increased workload demands from our customers.
"We've been able to push through our orders. We went from four saws on our floor down to two saws and we're putting more work on those two compared to four," he continues. "We can actually grow and we can easily keep up with demand." MM

U.S. Mortgage-Bond Sale Surge Will Prove Fleeting, Fitch Says
A surge in sales of securities backed by new U.S. home loans will probably be short-lived, according to Fitch Ratings.
Redwood Trust Inc. (RWT) sold bonds tied to $328 million of loans on March 28, while Credit Suisse Group AG (CSGN) closed a $742 million transaction on March 30 in which the bank partnered with Chimera Investment Corp., another real estate investment trust, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Last week's issuance almost doubled the total since the market seized in 2008 to $2.4 billion.
"It's still going to continue to be a slow rebuilding process that's going to take some time," Rui Pereira, a managing director in New York at Fitch, said yesterday in a telephone interview. "My expectation is we'll see another handful of transactions done this year."
Expanded limits on the sizes of loans eligible for government-supported programs and "a strong bid" by banks for mortgages to hold on their balance sheets are curbing the supply available to securitize, Pereira said. Fitch isn't seeing any additional deals that are "imminent or that I can comment on right now," he said. The firm often starts studying transactions as much as six weeks before sales and has graded four of the six deals completed since the market froze.
Issuance of so-called non-agency home-loan bonds peaked at about $1.2 trillion in each of 2005 and 2006 before collapsing as foreclosures soared, home values plunged and prices for the debt tumbled, roiling global markets. The outstanding amount contracted to $1.09 trillion on Dec. 31, from $2.3 trillion in mid-2007, according to Federal Reserve data.
Demand for Redwood
Demand for the Redwood bonds sold last week was "strong" because "there's a shortage of highly rated, high-quality assets," said Adam Yarnold, managing director of securitized products trading at Barclays Plc (BARC)'s securities arm, the underwriter. Buyers included banks, insurers and mutual funds. "Our investors want more assets like this, so we're interested in bringing more deals," he said.
Barclays has an agreement to provide Two Harbors Investment Corp. (TWO) a credit line to accumulate new loans and then plans to underwrite a deal in which that REIT would retain the lowest- ranked portions, according to securities filings. Redwood and Chimera took those slices in the transactions last week, according to Fitch.
Jumbo Mortgages Predominate
All of the deals since 2010, when the market revived, have comprised so-called jumbo mortgages, or ones larger than government-supported programs allow. That's currently as much as $729,750 for single-family properties in some areas. For Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans with the lowest costs for borrowers with 20 percent down payments, limits range from $417,000 in most places, to $625,500.
Government-backed lending accounted for 88 percent of new mortgages and home-equity loans last year, according to newsletter Inside Mortgage Finance. Other debt of more than $417,000 represented 8.7 percent of the total. That share rose to 9.3 percent in the fourth quarter as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits fell, even with their minimums remaining elevated amid falling home prices under a law passed in 2008.
"The mortgage market can't stay with 90 percent government originations and investors want high quality assets, so it's natural" that the amount of non-agency deals is poised to increase, Yarnold at Barclays said.
Banks Restrain Supply
Banks so far have ample capital and capacity to hold onto more jumbo mortgages amid generally limited loan demand, restraining supply for bond issuers, said Michael McMahon, managing director of investor relations at Redwood, which completed the first five deals after the market revived. They also have plenty of cheap deposit funding, so selling off portions of the debt they hold as a financing tool isn't attractive to them, he said.
"Banks have zero economic incentive to securitize," he said in an e-mail.
Fitch, which said in a March 30 statement that the grades its rivals assigned to the Credit Suisse bonds were too high and that it wouldn't rate the deal, still described the underlying loans as "high quality." The company in a statement yesterday said only a single borrower of the approximately 1,800 whose loans were packaged into bonds since the start of 2010 is delinquent.

Blood Test Predicts Chance Of Dementia, Flanders Institute for Biotechnology Study
Published: Mar 06, 2009
EurekAlert! -- Frontal lobe dementia (Frontotemporal Dementia, FTD) strikes people at an earlier age. After Alzheimer's disease, FTD is the form of dementia that occurs most frequently in patients younger than 65. In FTD, the disease process starts in the frontal lobe where large numbers of brain cells begin to die off. The frontal lobe is the foremost part of the brain and constitutes about 30% of the brain. Among other things, it is involved in regulating behavior, movement and mood, and it is responsible for cognitive functions such as language. So, the first clinical signs of FTD are changes in behavior and personality, and then, in a later stage of the disease, the loss of memory functions.

Does Choice for Students — the committee to pass Prop. V, the advisory measure to keep JROTC in the public schools — have a time machine? Or just too much cash?
On its most recent filings with the city's Ethics Commission, the committee reports spending $4,943.86 this month to oppose Supervisor Chris Daly's race for the Democratic County Central Committee — the seat he won. In June.
Courtesy the San Francisco Realtors Association
Johnny Wang, a political consultant working to pass Prop. V, said Daly was mentioned in a mailer blasting Eric Mar, a candidate for supervisor in the Richmond District who as a school board member voted against JROTC. Lawyers advised including Daly on campaign finance reports just to be safe.
It's one of a string of attempts to interject Daly, perhaps the city's most unpopular politician, into local races. But Wang couldn't explain how the race for the DCCC figured in.
"I know for a fact we wouldn't be spending money for Chris Daly on a race that's four months too late," he said.
Looks like somebody's going to have to correct the campaign finance filings.
"You can't campaign against somebody who's already won a position," said John St. Croix, head of the Ethics Commission. "They're going to have to file an amendment."

Black Jaguar Attack?
The cell phone pictures are blurry.. But to professional wildlife tracker and trapped Jerry Hunt it's pretty clear this is no house cat.
"I think it's a black jaguar. They are coming from Mexico. Arizona has nine of them radio collared right now." Says Jerry Hunt.
He says they are native to Texas, but the last time one was bagged here was in 1932. They are the third largest species of cat behind lion and tiger..
Hunt has spent a lifetime in the woods tracking big cats. Farmer and ranchers pay him to trap and either kill or relocate predators.. When we showed you the pictures of a horse that had been mauled two weeks ago, his Facebook page lit up with comments..
He says there has been an uptick in the number of big cat attacks on livestock for a number of reasons. "We are encroaching in their neighborhood. We've been in a drought. the deep population has gone down a little bit which is their natural prey so they're are coming after whatever they can get right now."
The big cats have big territories too. They expand them in tough times. Here's what he finds so worrisome about these pictures. That they exist at all.
"They love to be hidden.. The Native Americans called them ghost cats. And if you they want to see them they you are in their territory.
He has only seen one in all his years of being in the woods.. This is considered the first level of aggression from these animals... a warning.. a warning only fools would choose to ignore...
"Somebody's going to get hurt. I just hope it's not a child."

The city of Toronto's public works committee has approved an environmental assessment to study the feasibility of installing a bike lane along Bloor Street.
The study — which if approved would take about a year to complete — will investigate the possibility of putting a bike lane along Bloor from west of Keele Street in the city's west end to east of Sherbourne Street. The study will also examine installing a bike lane on Dupont Street.
In 2011, council voted to scrap a similar study.
CBC city hall reporter Jamie Strashin said the study will still need to be approved at council.
"It's expected to be a contentious issue, as all cycling issues are," he reported.
The study will also be complicated, due to the traffic congestion along the route.

Long walks with Olivia, my ex-racer greyhound

Loving dogs aside, back in 2002 another compelling reason for getting a dog was my fondness for long, brisk, hearty walks. Not jogging. Not bicycling or exercising or huffing and puffing. Just walking. Inhaling the fresh air, admiring the scenery and stretching my legs. With that in mind, what better companion than a dog? Better yet, an ex-racer greyhound?
Or so I thought. That's why, soon after adopting Elvis, I took him to Dr. Arnott, convinced that there was something wrong with my new boy. After all, what kind of greyhound didn't like long walks?
Uh, that would be Elvis. There wasn't anything wrong, I learned. It's just that his La-Z-Dog recliner was so much more alluring. "You've got yourself a lazy greyhound," I remember Dr. Arnott chuckling. A little-known trait that I discovered is actually quite typical of the breed.
Ah, but my new ex-racer greyhound, Olivia, is anything but typical. Just 4 years old, my little tiger, nicknamed for her striking red brindle coat, is a 70-pound mass of youthful energy. From her quivering upright ears that act as canine radar, to her Downward Dog yoga stance, with her long skinny tail slicing through the air, she's forever signaling that she's eager to play. Maybe a nice game of fetch? How about tug-of-war? Wanna chase me? Or say, here's an idea: How about another walk?

My initial clue that I'd met my match was after our first long hike, a 9-miler at Inspiration Point in Tilden Park. Three hours later, I was ready to go home, kick off my boots, pour myself a glass of wine and enjoy my DVD of "Mildred Pierce."
Not so, Olivia. "Nice warm-up, wimp," her face said. "When does the walk begin?" Seriously, dog?
Olivia never tires of walks, words I once thought myself incapable of uttering. Striding obediently by my side, she's in obvious awe of this new world she's been plunged into. The birds in the sky, the squirrels in the trees, other dogs, floating clouds, motorcycles, rain. Her curiosity about everything is apparent through her perpetually cocked head.
And so, every day after work, come rain or shine, I walk Olivia. We usually stay in the hood, but on weekends we'll hop in my CRV and explore a new park, neighborhood or trail. Sometimes I invite friends to join us, but it's usually just me and my little tiger. We walk and walk, my pedometer clocking 1 mile, 2, 4, 6.
Some days, though, I'm just not in the mood. Maybe work was crazy or my hour-long commute was more jam-packed than usual. All I want to do is take Olivia for a brief stroll, then crash on the sofa and watch "Jeopardy." "What is a couch potato, Alex?"
But then, I look at my sweet girl's eager face shining up at me, positively giddy at the prospect of - oh glory be - a walk! And I think of this bundle of energy spending the first four years of her life at a racetrack, living in a shed and crated for up to 22 hours at a time, with just enough room to stand up and turn around. No birds in the sky, squirrels in the trees, floating clouds or other breeds. No companionship, treats, attention or affection. My heart melts.
And we walk.

I hope the assoc ed will be "kinder" on an up and coming manuscript resubmission. The MR is a pretty good model for clonal degeneration in sweetpotato, but for now the concept (MR) isn't invoked. Maybe in another 50 years? Do you recall somebody named Barbara and her multi-speckled kernels? Thanks. Arthur

On October 7th, 2009 the New York Mets traded Billy Wagner to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for outfielder Chris Carter and first baseman Eddie Lora.
At the time of the trade it was clear the Mets were mostly making a salary dump for Wagner, but things turned out even worse than expected for the Mets. Chris Carter looked like he would turn into a solid bench player and Eddie Lora at least looked like a first baseman with some power potential, but less than two years later both players acquired are no longer part of the organization.
In 100 games with the Mets in 2010 Carter was okay and hit .263/.317/.389 with four home runs and 24 RBIs. In the off-season the Mets decided to non-tender Carter in order to avoid paying him $200,000 plus his minor league salary and Carter decided to sign a minor league deal with the Rays, where he is thriving this year. Carter was exciting to watch in his limited time with the Mets, but didn't produce enough to make the trade worth it.
To turn this trade into a complete bust, the Mets released Eddie Lora from the organization earlier this week after he hit .088 in 34 at-bats in rookie ball last year.
Onto what the Red Sox got out of the deal that makes the deal really sting.
Wagner was great down the stretch for the Red Sox in 2009 going 1-1 with a 1.98 ERA and striking out 22 men in 13.2 innings. Wagner wasn't as sensational in the Angels sweep of the Red Sox in the ALDS, but he wasn't terrible either, as it was two inherited runners Jonathan Papelbon allowed to score that inflated Wagner's ERA.
But that is not all.
The Red Sox offered Wagner salary arbitration after the season and when he signed with the Atlanta Braves received the 20th and 39th overall picks in the 2010 MLB First-Year Player Draft. With those picks the Red Sox selected Kolbrin Vitek and Anthony Ranaudo.
Vitek has looked like nothing special early on, but Ranaudo ranks as the Red Sox No. 2 prospect according to SoxProspects.com, is one of the top pitching prospects in all of the minor leagues, and is one of the few prospects with legitimate "ace" starting pitching potential.
Had the Mets held onto Wagner they most likely would not have even offered Wagner arbitration and cited Billy's request not to offer him arbitration so he is more attractive to a potential suitor as the reason, when it was pretty clear they did not want to have to pay more first round draft picks, already holding the No. 7 overall pick in the draft who was due for big payday. And on the off chance they did offer Wagner the arbitration and received the compensation picks I highly doubt they would have drafted Ranaudo because of his high price tag.
Nonetheless, it was money saving moves like this from Omar and the Wilpons that have prevented the Mets farm system from flourishing and becoming top notch. If the Mets could have paired up Ranaudo and Harvey from the 2010 draft they would have two starters in the minors right now with top of the rotation potential who were breezing through the minors.
It sucks to look back and imagine "what could have been".

Although it is brand new, the design and atmosphere of the West Wing Cottage is reminiscent of the gorgeously decadent 1920s.

In the winter months the sun rises low over to the south-east producing some of the most beautiful sunrises with the colours in the sky reflected on the water.
The living area has a huge and incredibly comfortable 3 seater sofa, plus matching armchair. Flooring is burnished wide plank American oak. If you decide to eat in then choose from breakfast or a light lunch at the breakfast bar or sitting down at the large dining table to enjoy a leisurely dinner. Alternatively eat al fresco on the patio, picnic on the seas edge under the pergola or on your lawn. Back in the cottage after a busy day at the beach or sightseeing sit back and relax while watch a movie on the 52' large flat screen TV/DVD or listen to some music on the stereo. You will find leaflets and information on the beaches and local attractions, board games, cards, DVDs and books to entertain you: plus a ping pong table and laundry with large American style washing machine and dryer in the utility room. High speed internet access is provided via Wi-fi broadband so you can keep in touch by email with business or friends & family.

Imagine yourself sitting by a glass lookout at sunset gazing out over the azure waters of Torbay. It really does not get any better than this! Your private garden also includes a long shady pergola, glass sunroom with conservatory furniture and a large lawn. If the strawberries, raspberries or blackcurrants, apples or pears are in season just help yourselves during your stay.

Stunning holiday cottage for four adults with a wonderful large garden.
Astounding views from several vantage points around the garden taking in all of Torbay.
Private off street parking, walking distance to hotel restaurants as well as Torquay and Paignton.
Will return in the future.
Highly recommended.
Had a great week at the superb property, and a great location.
We had a lovely week in the cottage this week. The bedrooms are amazing as are the bathrooms. It's great to have a powerful shower! Our dogs had an even better time than us as the garden is great and very safe. I enjoyed breakfast in the glass enclosed area at the end of the garden every day looking at the wonderful sea view. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area. The photos are an accurate reflection of the property (which is always a plus!).
The weather was perfect so we were able to enjoy the garden, first thing in the morning and later in the day after full days out.
Besides the kitchen, the property is pleasingly spacious. The stairs are tricky but manageable, even for this 80 yearold.
We would prefer less heavy furnishing with less angular corners on chair legs. My wife seriously injured the particularly thin skin on one of her shins.
Property was well maintained would book again on our next return to Torquay
All comms were clear and timely, great facilities (the table tennis table was very well used!), beautiful location & the views are stunning.
A return visit is highly likely!
Please see our main website link at the bottom of this page.
Torquay is enjoying something of a renaissance with British visitors and the same things which have always attracted travellers still hold true: sun,sand and a sense of fun. At the turn of the century grand villas and mansion houses were built to welcome visitors and they still grace much of this elegant seaside town. Today, Torquay remains very much a seaside resort and its heartbeat is the picturesque harbour. Lined with a good mix of cafes, bars, top-class restaurants and great shopping. Around Torbay 20 beaches and coves are doted along 22 miles of coastline including Torre Abbey Sands and around the Bay to the sheltered coves of Meadfoot and the rock pools at Corbyn Head. Walkers can follow the south west coastal path and discover deserted coves and amazing vistas out across the sea. Nearby attractions include Brixham fishing harbour, the spectacular cliff top nature reserve of Berry Head, Dartmouth and delightful Cockington village with its thatched cottages and tea rooms.
