Job loss may have led to some foreclosures
Published: Sunday, October 19, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 19, 2008 at 9:34 a.m.
The number of foreclosures in Henderson, Polk and Transylvania counties continues to rise as the effects of bad loans, job losses and a sagging housing market set in.
Ever since the housing boom began to cool in 2006, an increasing number of homeowners have fallen into foreclosure; that is, they have lost ownership of their home or been threatened with it because of a failure to keep up with their mortgage payments.
Henderson County had 201 foreclosures through the first nine months of 2007, compared to 290 through Sept. 30 of this year, according to state court records. Henderson County had a total of 262 foreclosures in 2007.
In neighboring Transylvania County, 55 people lost their homes in the first nine months of 2007 compared to 95 from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30 of this year.
There were a total of 86 foreclosures in the county in 2007.
Polk County is also on track to record a higher number of foreclosures this year. There were 61 total foreclosures in 2007, and 54 people have had their homes foreclosed on so far this year. Polk County recorded 50 foreclosures in the first nine months of 2007, according to state records.
They are worrisome numbers that have only gone up in recent memory, said Wanda Sizemore of the Henderson County Clerk of Courts office.
Where we used to have one or two a week, now we have between five and seven a week, she said. Theres definitely been a jump, similar to what happened in 2002 when it went up sharply then it went back down.
In 2002, Henderson County had 261 foreclosures, up from 179 in 2001.
Housing turmoil
Job losses that occurred during the recession of 2001 led to the sharp increase in foreclosures across the country in 2002, said Adam York, an economic analyst with Wachovia.
Much of the turmoil in the national housing market is due to the housing slump and surge in home loan defaults.
Lending companies, such as Countrywide and Chase, garnered approval from Wall Street to sell subprime loan programs, making them available to mortgage brokers, who in turn offered the loans to borrowers. Some of the subprime loan programs required no verifiable income or good credit scores, and in many cases, a credit score as low as 400 could still qualify a person for a home loan, economic analysts said.
The subprime loan market grew as lenders exploited what they saw as an untapped market of potential homeowners. Often these were buyers with shaky credit and marginal incomes.
Henderson Countys foreclosure situation is not as bad as other areas of the country, but the foreclosure problem will worsen as the housing market continues to slump, York said.
Certainly thats a national problem, with rapidly rising foreclosure rates and with the credit crunch where it is and the national economy doing what its doing, the foreclosure situation will probably continue to deteriorate, he said. But thats actually better than some places in the country. If you look at problem markets of California, Florida and Nevada, specifically Las Vegas, which is an overbuilt market, those places are doing worse. Job losses this year began about January, so the foreclosures were seeing now are more indicative of the housing problem right now, more than the fundamental macro-economic problems were seeing.
Its a problem that will likely get worse before it gets better, York added.
Were looking for negative GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in the third, fourth quarters of 2008 and the first quarter of next year, he said. I would say we would expect foreclosures to be higher than normal in 2009, certainly. Its going to be a difficult economic environment for homeowners, non-homeowners, really for the U.S. economy in general.

Kennedy, who signed a two-year deal with the Bantams in July following the expiry of his contract at Rochdale, made his competitive debut in last week's League Cup defeat at Huddersfield, but watched Saturday's 4-0 thrashing of Carlisle from the stands after making way for Ricky Ravenhill.
"I left Ricky out last weekend (at Bristol City) and I just flipped it around," Parkinson said. "I didn't need two (central) midfield players on the bench.
"Jason has been terrific for us though, he's a really good player. Not only is he unlucky not to be on the bench, he's unlucky not to be in the starting XI.
"I think he is going to be an immense player for us. The players who have come in, like Jason, have to push the lads who are in the starting XI at the moment out of the team.
"Competition within a squad is great and we know that throughout the season we are going to need everyone."

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Golden Age
Add to classics area.
This golden age feature brought to DVD is about a contest sponsored by a porno magazine between two hot porn stars to determine who can do the hottest scene. Our filming begins in a dark-paneled, shag-carpeted, plaid-furnished basement (mirrors on the ceiling are de rigeur as well) with a nicely done orgy.
The contest is still tied at this point so there's another challenge (it's sort of like Survivor in Porn World) where each team has to seduce a cop. Both teams succeed in their mission with the "judge" of the contest polishing his knob while he watches from the next room.
The final challenge is a huge poolside gangbang. All the jizz is collected in buckets to see who can collect the most. Our intrepid "judge" at the end reveals he is not a writer for a magazine and gets the jizz buckets dumped on him. A very enjoyable feature with a great quality transfer to DVD.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
I would argue that in Lehmann, Gallas, Gilberto and Kolo Toure he has that spine of experience in the side - and at this point. You have to remember too that players like Van Persie, Fabregas, Eboue, Adebeyor and Senderos have experience in Champions League (some up to the final), and have also all played at the World Cup Finals......... how many Spuds can say that, as they 'mount a challenge' to the top four in the Premier League.I'm not saying that I wouldn't like AW to go out there and pick up Sergio Ramos, Gennari Gattuso or even Lionel Messi.... I just don't think it's gonna happen, and don't believe that Lassana Diarra will give us anything that we don't have already.

Amy Adams
Amy Adams in J Brand Leather Leggings in Noir
Amy Adams posed for some photos with her Trouble with the Curve co-star Justin Timberlake at her husband, Darren LeGallo's, "Nothing You Don't Know" Exhibition in Los Angeles, California. The actress wore a pair of the J Brand Leather Leggings in Noir with a L'Agence shirt and a Helmut Lang blazer.
Like I said before, the popularity of these pants has grown exceptionally the past month. I love the way Amy styled them by keeping a monochrome color palette. Everything fits her great, especially the length of the pants. The choice of the grey suede Casadei Blade heels was also a great one to add some contrast. You can click here to purchase these pants from the J Brand website for $895.
Amy Adams in AG Adriano Goldschmied The Tomboy in 15 Years Soft
Amy Adams and her fiance stopped by the Little Door with their daughter. Over the weekend, Amy was honored with the Hollywood Supporting Actress Award at the 2012 Hollywood Film Awards Gala.
Amy wore a pair of AG Adriano Goldschmied The Tomboy jeans in 15 years soft with a white tank top and boots. She has been spotted out in these a few times, but I'm not the biggest fan of how these are styled. I'm not fond of how the jeans are cuffed over the boots, as I think it looks a bit awkward.

On The Road – Cannes x Diesel Party
Diesel hosted an after party at Cannes Film Festival in France for On The Road on the 23rd and it seemed like a great event! It was held at the Magic Garden Meets Le Baron Palais Des Festivals and had a big celeb turnout! Tom Sturridge, Sam Riley, Karolina Kurkova and Renzo Rosso and more were in attendance such as Kirsten Dunst, Kristen Stewart, Viggo Mortensen and Amy Adams.
There are some images in the gallery below from the red carpet, but a lot of the girls didn't want their photo taken at the party. On The Road is a movie based on the novel by Jack Kerouac and directed by Walter Salles. It has an all star cast and I'm glad that Diesel got to throw the after party for them! I'm sure it was such a fun event! It looks like Robert Pattinson was there to support Kristen as well!

Amy Adams in Levi's Curve ID
Amy Adams and her daughter, Aviana, did some grocery shopping over the weekend. Amy commented on her daughter's love for Amy's newest film, The Muppets, "She's a year and a half and she hasn't seen any advertising and she already is just like, Muppet mania. I really like doing films that touch children's lives and I think that the Muppets have a really positive message."
Amy wore her Levi's Curve ID skinny jeans with a pair of over-the-knee boots and a slouchy sweater. I think this is a great outfit on her! Unfortunately, Amy didn't win the Who Wore it Best poll for these jeans, but I think this outfit could've won! You can buy Levi's Curve ID jeans here.

I just downloaded some source code from a repository and I'm trying to locate a specific file in it. For simplicity, assume that the entire project has the following directory hierarchy
/ \
src docs
/ \ \
other test2.h test1.h
I navigate to the project directory and then use the following command
sudo find . -name test1.h
This works perfectly.
However, the following command doesn't work:
sudo find . -name test2.h
The find command is able to locate test1.h but not test2.h. Why could this be? Is it possible for one of the folders to be non-searchable?
Note, I'm doing all of this on a linux machine

EDF in Exclusive Talks With Dalkia to Acquire Citelum Lighting
Electricite de France SA, Europe's biggest power generator, is in exclusive talks with Dalkia France to acquire the urban lighting company Citelum SA.
Citelum, which manages traffic lights and surveillance cameras and the illumination of monuments, including the Eiffel Tower, would "enhance the services EDF offers to local authorities," the Paris-based utility said in a statement. EDF didn't give a value for the transaction.
Citelum is owned by energy-services company Dalkia, the object of a dispute between EDF and Veolia Environnement SA, Europe's biggest water company. EDF and Veolia are vying for control of Paris-based Dalkia. The international division is split equally between the two utilities and its French activities are 34 percent-owned by EDF and the rest by Veolia.
EDF sued Veolia a year ago, saying a 2000 agreement allowed for 50-50 control of Dalkia France, the domestic operation. Veolia rejected the claim.
Spokeswomen for both companies declined to comment today on whether there are talks to resolve the dispute.
Citelum, created by EDF in 1993, reported 2012 sales of 343 million euros ($465 million) last year compared with 221 million euros four years earlier.
The sale is part of Veolia's plan to sell 6 billion euros of assets in 2012 and 2013 to lower debt.
Citelum staged an LED light show at the Eiffel Tower in 2009 for the 120th anniversary, according to the website.

Did you find the leaks?
If it is a valve issue, thermarest makes a replacement valve kit that is easy to use and works great.
I also received mine yesterday.
Does anyone know if it is still on display?
Which color did your order for that price?
I came across this today after seeing a random picture of TrailH4x's and want to thank him for a great design. I know that the OP is old, but it is new to me.
I plan to build one when I get some...
I would get a winter UQ and look at something like a DIY no sew PLUQ for summer use.
I got an email after I ordered that the hammock would be shipped direct from the warehouse, so that is probably the reason for the different shipping.
I got a tracking number yesterday and it has been processed at a USPS facility.
I took Cannibal's advice and a few other members and have double my number in a few days.:thumbup:
It says it will hold 400 pounds on Byers website
I also liked the idea of the jeep camper until I saw the price ($53,500) http://www.gizmag.com/jeep-action-camper-/21408/
That is a nice looking project.
Did you add any insulation or did you just use what came with the kit?
That is a really nice looking hammock.
Name is CamperMade.
Just checked out the order status and it still shows awaiting shipping
I sent Scott an email earlier today and got a response within a hour
I have not made it to a group hang yet, but I have gear envy after all the research I have been done on UQ and Tablecloth hammocks.
I just wanted everyone to know that Scott sent me an update on the IX material.
I just found a supplier that will have some IX this afternoon so I have to decide if I order enough for the PLUQ or IX quilt.
Any update on the IX?
I have been reading and reading all the information about the two different UQ and can not decide which one to make. Does either one have an advantage or is it just availablity of materials that...
The new deal is "Free Shipping and Fall 40% off Sale ends 10/20/12"
I just added your website to my favorites.
I got the same email with a ship date of 10/28. Then about an hour later I received another email that said my order was awaiting shipment.
I was in such a rush with the hammock that I did not even look at other gear, but I am headed back to the site to see what else I might need.
It works for the green one also.
I just ordered a GT UL for my son from greenlife outfitter for $11.99 including free shipping. :)
The deal was still working this morning, I just ordered an UL for my son.
That's a great looking quilt.
This is a great thread and I am really interested in everyones ideas.
I understand Cannibal. I do ask questions and offer my experiences when I can, but I guess I have been doing so much research on different things from insulation to how to make a tablecloth hammock...
I am 6' and 210 and I sleep just fine in mine.
They look great!! I have serious gear envy.
At the present my post count is not very high, but I think what I am learner from everyone on HF is helping. I am still too much of a noob to be able to contribute to most of the discussions.
I guess I should pay more attention and check the date on the OP because this is almost two years old.
If you use a poncho liner with a poncho it beats a wool blanket hands down.
I have spent many a night in below freezing temperatures with just a poncho and liner.
Has anyone received an email from HH about the additional products they are going to put on sale?
and another
I am new to hanging, but why would you have to modify your HH to use the Atlas straps? I thought they were just made from a different material than the HH tree straps.
I am lucky to live on a small farm off of a gravel road. It is quiet in the area except for the animals (wild and domesticated) and the occasional helicopter flights into the secret government...
Good luck with your project.
Great site and the best part is that it is not blocked at work.:lol:
I am in the same boat as you, but I decided to bite the bullet and go with a down UQ. I figure with the amount of time I spend camping with the scouts and without that it is worth the expense.
I did not get a chance to order last night but I am looking at the eggplant and my son wants one also.
If it looks good it will be a great conversation piece at the next Boy Scout campout. I may even get some of the scouts of the ground.
I guess I will be ordering a tablecloth when I get home tonight. I will attach pictures when I complete the project.
I am thinking about getting another hammock and I can't decide if I should make it or buy it. I am looking at the Byer Traveller lite ($15.93at REI) or maybe a DIY Tablecloth hammock. I do not want...
I have been looking at UQ and Underground Quilts has it as an option to add to their products.
Good luck with your surgery,
I had orthroscopic replacement of both my ACL and MCL with cadaver ligaments about 17 years ago. I have not stopped any activities and actually completed in a bicycle...

Baby won't eat food. .
Comments (7)
wait about an hr or two before I give him the cup. The dr say he can miss a meal to try to get him to eat..
I went through the exact same thing with my DD. I started her on solids at 6 months and she would take them but only in very small amounts. From about 7.5 months to 10 months she literally refused all solids and lived exclusively on BM. I still offerred her purees, table food, anything really, 3 to 4 times a day and we ended up throwing out most of it everytime. I went to 2 family doctors, a pediatric dietician and a pediatrician and they all basically told me the same things that I had already been doing since I started feeding her. Finally when she was a year old she started eating again. She still doesn't eat a lot, but it is much much better. She gets 3 meals and two snacks a day and I have weaned her off BM completely. She gets 3 glasses of whole milk with her meals and half of a sippy before bed. All the advice I got from the doctors didn't seem to make a difference and I really just think it was teething in her case. Over the span of her refusing solids she cut 7 teeth and it seemed that once they were through she began eating again. One thing that I've noticed that gets her to eat more is letting her mimic what I do. I always make sure to eat with her and if I put something on her tray I eat a few pieces of it and also let her feed me a few pieces. She also likes it when I let her eat food the way I do. For example, when I feed her banana, I don't just cut it up and put it on her tray. I will put a piece of it on the end of the whole banana and let her pretend that she taking a bite of it the way I do when I eat it. She thinks it's fun and always wants more.
I'm jumping in on this thread b/c I'm having a hard time getting LO to try new foods. @apesmac, the idea of letting her feed me some is a great idea!!

We have a scenario where we have contact roles added to an opportunity. We need to know if a contact role for a contact has changed for an opportunity. E.g John doe was an executive sponsor first for an opportunity and now John doe contact role is Influencer for the same opportunity. We need to log the old contact role and new contact roles for the contact and flag a field on the contact that the contact role changed. How can we do this and if any body can share any code snippet please? Thanks Buyan

How to keep your Apple computer free from malicious programs and viruses
- From: news.com.au
- May 27, 2013
- Apple computers are not safe from viruses
- Fewer than half of Mac users run anti-virus software
- Mac users "will be targeted more and more easily"
APPLE users need to stop living in "fantasy land" and let go of the myth that its products are safe from malicious programs and viruses.
This is the advice of security experts at anti-virus company, Kaspersky.
Fewer than 50 per cent of Mac users run any kind of anti-virus security on their computers, even though more than 700,000 Mac computers were infected with a malicious virus called "Flashback" last year.
The infections occurred after a cyber criminal exploited a security flaw in a Java application, that tricked people into downloading a virus he had written by disguising it as an update for Adobe Flash software.
While 70 per cent of user computers have had the security flaw patched and the virus removed, about 30 per cent of users are still infected, product group manager Vartan Minasyan told news.com.au.
"If Mac users continue to be so carefree, I can really tell you that they will be targeted more and more easily."
"Five years ago part of Apple's marketing was that Macs got no viruses," Minasyan said.
"Right now they're saying the opposite. On Apple.com they have started to say it's better to have virus protection installed."
The security expert says people need to change their thinking, and says he expects it to happen naturally, but not quickly.
"It is just a part of human nature to be very slow in adapting," he said. "People should actually change their belief and change their approach".
To even further destroy the Apple safety myth, Vincente Diaz, Kaspersky's senior malware analyst said it took him just 15 minutes to create a piece of malware for a Mac.
"It took 15 minutes for the Mac to show a completely grey screen," he told journalists during a presentation in Monte Carlo. "The virus blocked every input on the computer from the keyboard to the mouse.
"You couldn't do anything. And this was using only Apple's default system functions. There was nothing extra."
Part of the problem is that users are continuing to buy into the myth that Apple devices are immune to viruses.
But Apple also needs to change its approach, Diaz says.
"Apple needs to be clear about what they are controlling and way they are not," he said.
He said Apple was not so good at disclosing when it was releasing security patches for flaws, what they do, and what they don't do.
"Apple works hard to try and make its users very secure and are doing what is best for you, but they don't explain what it is actually doing," he said.
"Apple is not very transparent about what was going on when the latch for the flashback virus was released.
"It is not being very useful to consumers about updating security. That is my opinion. It needs to increase user awareness."
How to keep your Apple computer secure
1) For goodness sake, purchase and install an anti-virus security program.
2) Ensure you keep your security software up-to-date.
3) Keychain. Use it. Keychain is an Apple program which stores all of your passwords, whether it be for your bank account or your computer. Keychain unlocks as soon as you login to your computer, meaning anyone with access to your Mac can access areas of your life that are password protected like your bank, PayPal, email or eBay accounts. Prevent this by creating a password for the program which stores all your passwords. And for the love of everything that is holy, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT MAKE THIS PASSWORD THE SAME AS ONE OF THE STORED PASSWORDS. Get original. Invent a brand new password that has never been used on any of your other accounts. Do this by going to Utilities in Applications, hit Open Keychain Access and click Edit: Change Password for Keychain [username / login]. It will ask you for the password you use to log in to your computer (leave this blank if you do not have a password. We'll get into that later), type your new password into the New Password field and Verify field. The key icon next to the New Password field will tell you how secure your password is. News.com.au recommends using a combination of random letters and numbers. Hit OK. Also, always ensure to lock your Keychain when you are not using it.
4) Always double check that the updates for security are legitimate. One way to do this is to check the URL it is directing you to. First, hover your mouse over the link it is directing you to, a URL should appear along the bottom of your web browser. If the URL is not directing you to the official websites of the various software programs you are running, DO NOT CLICK ON IT.
5) If you need to update your computer but you are concerned about clicking malicious or deceptive links, just type the official website URL in your web browser and download the updates straight from Apple's website, or the website of the software you are running.
6) Turn off your automatic login. There is no need for your computer to store your username and password. Make sure you enter them manually upon start-up to minimise the chance of your credentials being stolen.
7) Lock your computer when you are not using it. Even if you are only stepping away from your computer for a minute, prevent people from accessing your device by using a password to turn off the screen saver or to wake up your Mac from sleep mode.
8) Be cautious about what information you store in the cloud. It might be a hand backup for that manuscript you work on in your spare time. But keep any personal information relating to bank account, passports, credit cards, bills, etc out of the cloud. There is always a danger storing information in remote servers as cloud security is almost completely out of your control. Needless to say having a unique, strong password helps too.
9) Remove your payment information from iTunes. Sure, it might be handy to pay for music with a single click, but storing your credit card information in your iTunes account comes with real risk. Scammers could access your details and use it to purchase all sorts of dodgy stuff for themselves, or worse, use it to gain enough personal information to access your bank account. And then you are in real trouble.
10) Encrypt important files. An encryption is a code which basically locks your files, making them unreadable without a secret key. Needless to say, sharing the key with anyone would be an act of stupidity. There are a number of good encryption programs including AutoKrypt, TorBundle, Hotspot Shield.

I love this article, my brothers macbook had a remote control virus, and he had a total stranger in his computer moving thr mouse around and going through his files, apple devices are nowhere near safe from viruses and it's good people know this.

Does this include iThings as well? Or did Kapersky neglect to mention this factor? Most domestic Mac users don't even use a computer now.

Simple truth of sydney Posted at 8:15 AM May 28, 2013
Mac user contracts virus and no root access: turn computer off, back on, virus gone. At worst, uninstall and reinstall infected user software, but Kernel and system software is untouched. PC User: Contract virus, installs as annoying root kit that infects all system software and lasts forever and hardly any anti virus software can remove. Best solution is to reformat hard drive, reinstall windows. Oh there may be one of those annoying pop-ups asking for administrator access for installation of software that everyone chooses yes to.

Actually Macs *are* secure from viruses (which are self-installing) but not trojans (which trick the user into installing them). Nothing can be installed on a Mac without the user's permission.

A company that sells software wants Apple owners to buy their software. No bias there. If I still had a PC, I would use this software. But I own a Mac, so I don't, and never will.

1. please look up the definition of computer virus and then malware respectively. You will note they are different. 2. Name 3 viruses that are currently 'in the wild' and infecting Macs. Tip - you can't.

Steve of Internet Posted at 7:52 PM May 27, 2013
While some of this is good advice, It's not like Kaspersky don't have a vested interest in drumming up business for their security software or anything. :) Turn on the OS X firewall. Make sure your Wifi is secure, use strong passwords, be aware of where you go online and what you download. If you can help it, don't install Java or Flash. If you NEED Flash, then Chrome for OS X is an excellent browser that has a Flash plug-in. There are no 'traditional' computer viruses currently affecting OS X, but there is mal-ware out there. Apple do a reasonable job of silently protecting your system.

Ahhh the FUD (Fear Uncertainity and Doubt) approach of Kaspersky. If you get everyone worried they buy more anti virus products.

Kaspersky are going to say this every day of the week. They are trying to sell you a product that would have over 200% markup in it!!! I have recently worked for a large computer store and we would sell Kaspersky products for $100+ and It would cost us less then $20.... Do not pay for anti-virus software!!! There are so many free products that do a better job and do not annoy you as much!!

It was a trojan, not a virus and requires the user to accept an incoming file. It's user education and not anti-virus software that's needed.

The blame lays firmly at Apple's feet with their old "Mac has no viruses" naivety. Yes, they have changed their tune but it's a bit late now given they've brainwashed their flock.

Newly christened Nobel Laureate Günter Grass grabbed the world's attention in 1958 with a debut novel, The Tin Drum, that examined Germany's recent past from the viewpoint of a boy who stopped growing at the age of three. This enabled little Oskar to witness history from a unique and unnoticed perspective. The Nobel Committee surely chose Grass in part for his astonishing capacity to render the larger scope of humanity and history through the smaller lens of the individual. In his latest offering, My Century, Grass confirms his virtuosity as he chronicles his, and Germany's, century through the eyes of nearly a hundred different observerssome very ordinary, others extraordinary. In doing so, Grass simultaneously meditates on a tumultuous century and guides his readers from everyday reality to a higher realm of symbolism and allegory.
The form of the book allows Grass to exploit his considerable talents to their utmost. The book's first chapter, entitled "1900," begins with this sentence: "Me, trading places with myself, I was in the thick of things, year in and year out." Although we soon learn that this is a soldier speaking, it may as well be Grass himself, because he goes on to live up to the soldier's promise, offering a different chapter and narrator for every year of the century. We pass from year to year through the eyes of, among others, an antique collector, an incontinent child ("And so it happened that in the year 1907 I pissed not only my pants but also my father's neck"), a senator, a radio broadcaster, a schoolteacher, a painter's assistant, and a sports fanatic. The two world wars are each told by a single narrator, providing Grass the opportunity to delve somewhat deeper into these crucial periods.
Grass's conceit is, suffice to say, somewhat disjointed: Each narrator is only with us for a couple of pages. But it is not long before the choppiness of his fractured narrative recedes, and a larger and more fluid structure begins to assert itself; Günter Grass is one of the rare authors who can address the forces of history explicitly without getting lost in cliché and abstraction. By the chapters of the century's teens, as we see the seeds of the Third Reich, small events and details begin to assume a subtle but forceful symbolic weight. By World War II, as a war correspondent who "rarely has anything sensational to report" stares out into the ocean, first singing "Hurrah for the storm and the thundering waves" and then, finally, "just star[ing] mutely out at the sea," the everyday has become allegorical. The reader can sense an overarching, intelligent creative entity"Me, trading places with myself"that seemingly could turn its attention toward any given person and tell us something important about history and humanity through his or her eyes.
Tolstoy argued that wars are won and history is made by the foot soldiers, Hegel that certain crucial individuals shape it to their ends. Grass boldly picks both sides of the argument, sometimes giving us a privileged glance at the actions of the century's leaders and artists through the eyes of their attendants, other times zeroing in on an anonymous participant in a watershed event. In a few cases, such as a narrative of a large woman named Bertha who had a certain gun named after her, Grass suggests that the line between the somebodies and the nobodiesusing any of the limitless definitions of these termsis blurrier than we might think.
Many of the themes of My Century mirror those of Germany's tortured 20th century. But beyond war and peace, love and hate, remembrance, forgiveness, and forgetting, Grass's narrators focus on topics that might be ignored by a more traditional historical survey. New technologies and fashions come up again and again. Radios, motor cars, and even straw hats play their part: "There was much that was new at the time," says a civil servant who, in 1902, has succumbed to the latest fad and bought a "flat-topped, buttercup-yellow, vainglorious straw hat." He goes on to enumerate a theme that Grass revisits through many different voices: "And since progress was the keynote of the day, many straw hatters were curious about times to come." Grass doesn't let us forget that history is at its most exciting not after the fact, but in the moment of its inception. Sometimes, as in a gripping description of a Nazi mob seen from the rooftop of a Jewish artist, we see an event through the wise eyes of an observer who understands what must follow; other times, such as a chapter by a Nazi who is being transferred from a camp after botching the murder of a Jew that was meant to look like suicide, we vicariously experience the blinding power of propaganda and distortion.
Another recurring theme in My Century is that of play, and specifically sports. Is the history of the 20th century best told through the history of its sporting events? Probably not, but in choosing to focus on so many different sports narratives, Grass tells us something about his own project. One hundred brief chapters surely cannot "do justice" to the complexity of Germany's 20th century. But by calling forth images of boxing rings, racing tracks, and soccer fields, Grass suggests that with a certain arbitrary setting of limitsthe lines of the soccer pitch or the sampling of individual voices for his narrativewe can make a leap that helps us grasp something that is otherwise too grand and elusive to comprehend. This is the power of symbol and parable, and, as Grass's supporters on the Nobel Committee no doubt understood, he is perhaps our greatest living mythmaker.

Shorts could pick almost any stock in this market and make money, except KKD. And any short who has been lucky enough to a time a dip of KKD right certainly could have made much more shorting something else.
I'm gonna let everyone in on a little secret. I knew KKD was going to beat estimates last quarter because the analysts hadn't figured in the savings from the refinancing they did early this year. Guess what, analysts still haven't raised their EPS estimates for the 2nd quarter, meaning it would be amazing if they didn't beat again. Now consider that the headline number is going to be absolutely huge because of the sale of equity in the Brazilian stores. Yes, they will report an ex-items number too, but does anyone remember what happened when they missed by alot on the headline number in Q4? The stock dropped 2 bucks and everyone panicked.
Current estimate is .06, add .02 from the interest savings and add .06 from the Brazilian sale and you have a .14 EPS headline and .08 ex-items minimum. A beat like this, or possibly even more from positive business momentum, will set off a positive news cycle that will have people scrambling to buy in.
These estimates don't even factor in things like a buyout offer or their coffee initiative, which to be honest could be their biggest growth driver in 2012.
As someone who has owned this stock for a good while now, I'm doing my best to stay level headed and remain calm about the potential here. I think a pullback is possible, but I don't see it going below 8 with the strength it has shown in the face of the recent market swoon. My year end target is 14 based on the direction the company is headed, and higher than that isn't out of the question.
I agree and have been using that fact to make some dough (pun intended) over the past 2 years or so.
There's also a motivation among analysts to not rain on a turnaround parade when they pick up new coverage. .... So, they -in aggregate- maintain "conservative forecasts". Expect the analysts to "get better" in the next 18-24 months or so at the latest.
If I misunderstood I apologize!
No negative intent..there's not even a KKD in Brazil so there's no way that both Mexicans AND Brazilians could be buying KKD donuts in both countries..just stating that KKD is touting it's rosy expansion hopes with the assumptions that any and all people of any country they mention are just dying to do whatever it takes to give KKD all of their money to consume as much KKD donuts as possible...KKD donuts are definitely not the cheapest donuts available, and donuts in general are not the cheapest food available by any means...if everyone could afford KKD the way KKD assumes, KKD would almost have a decent future if they could eliminate all competitors and competing products in every country.
Roger, it was Mexico not Brazil but your point is still right on the money. Brazil is one of the many countries ready to be developed.
Any Mexican or Brazilian will definitely spend their entire paychecks at KKD. They can't go on without their KKD donuts. It is a huge part of their cultures. Any human alive will soon do the same everywhere on Earth...this is not news, KKD is the future of humanity.
Well Said Sir
No need to write an essay or waste time speculating on "numbers"....KKD sells DONUTS...when a small cap has a pump campaign w/ media, obvious technical pumps, articles and calls to local media and tv stations w/ pumping news stories appealing to emotional speculation, nothing else matters...the KKD pump will continue as long as the pump campaign can afford it..they sell DONUTS...and pumping is far more profitable

This series has followed the wife and daughters of the one and only Clint Eastwood as well as the all-male singing group from South Africa that Dina (Mrs. Eastwood, if your nasty) manages. What can we expect from tonight's finale then? Well, let me suggest that she's going to break out a .44 Magnum and right all the wrongs that need righting, asking punks if they feel lucky and that sort of thing. As for Francesca and Morgan (the little Eastwoods), maybe they'll fight for their independence and find themselves turning every which way but loose. Yeah, none of that will happen, but does it matter? We promise you that the finale will attempt to go bigger and better than every prior episode.

Last month, Waterfront Toronto came under fire for spending almost $1-million on umbrellas and rocks at Sugar Beach, now more of their expenses are raising eyebrows.
City councillor and Chair of the Public Works Committee, Denzil Minnan-Wong is piping mad about how much was spent on a new washroom facility at the Cherry Beach Sports field.
He says $600-thousand was spent on the men's and women's washroom and $175-thousand of that, was only for design work.
Minnan Wong told the Toronto Sun on Wednesday, he toured the men's side, and was shocked that the dryers were already rusted.
"People will not come from around the world to sit on our cans," he said. "It is just a bathroom. It serves an important function and purpose, it has to be safe and it has to be clean and it has to flush properly. We don't need a fancy designer to build skylights in these bathrooms."
Waterfront Toronto defended the project saying that the cost of the design also included an environmental and architectural evaluation of the area. Councillor Paula Fletcher also defended it saying there were a few problems to get around, like a lack of a sewer line and that the sports complex is on remediated land.
Toronto mayor Rob Ford released a statement early this morning, BLASTING Waterfront Toronto. He says taxpayers can't trust their leadership, and it's a blatant disregard for taxpayers' money.
Mayor Rob Ford is also fuming about these latest expenses. He tweeted out a statement early Thursday morning:
"Since 2011, the Ford Administration has repeatedly expressed serious concerns over an apparent lack of accountability at Waterfront Toronto. Newest reports suggest that Waterfront Toronto wasted $600,000 of hard earned taxpayers' money on a single public washroom facility, including over $175,000 on design work alone. That is roughly the cost of an average home in Toronto. This is simply the latest example in a pattern of blatant disregard for taxpayers' money at Waterfront Toronto. We recently learned that $1,000,000 was squandered on 2 rocks and 36 umbrellas at Sugar Beach. This is not how taxpayers want their hard earned money spent. Although Waterfront Toronto does not report directly to the Mayor, or to Toronto City Council, all government bodies are responsible to the taxpayer. Since 2001, we haven't seen value for money at Waterfront Toronto. If taxpayers cannot trust the leadership of Waterfront Toronto to build a washroom, how can we trust them with billions of dollars to revitalize one of Toronto's most important assets?"

Nationwide Air Sampling Confirms 'Methane Emissions Across Large Parts Of The U.S. Are Higher Than Currently Known'
Real-world observations have repeatedly made clear that industrial methane emissions are larger than we think. See "Bridge To Nowhere? NOAA Confirms High Methane Leakage Rate Up To 9% From Gas Fields, Gutting Climate Benefit." Here's yet another study.
Methane data collected from Florida to California in 2010. Both the spatial average and the raw data show the highest levels were in the East Texas area, decreasing westward and eastward.
UC Santa Barbara news release
After taking a rented camper outfitted with special equipment to measure methane on a cross-continent drive, a UC Santa Barbara scientist has found that methane emissions across large parts of the U.S. are higher than currently known, confirming what other more local studies have found. Their research is published in the journal Atmospheric Environment.
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas,
stronger than carbon dioxide on a 20-year timescale, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, though on a century timescale, carbon dioxide is far stronger. "This research suggests significant benefits to slowing climate change could result from reducing industrial methane emissions in parallel with efforts on carbon dioxide," said Ira Leifer, a researcher with UCSB's Marine Science Institute.
Leifer was joined by two UCSB undergraduate students on the road trip from Los Angeles to Florida, taking a primarily southern route through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, and along the Gulf of Mexico. They used specialized instrumentation, a gas chromatograph, to measure methane. The device was mounted in the RV, with an air ram on the roof that collected air samples from in front of the vehicle.
"We tried to pass through urban areas during nighttime hours, to avoid being stuck in traffic and sampling mostly exhaust fumes," Leifer said. "Someone was always monitoring the chromatograph, and when we would see a strong signal, we would look to see what potential sources were in the area, and modify the survey to investigate and, if possible, circumnavigate potential sources."
The researchers meandered slowly through areas of fossil fuel activity, such as petroleum and natural gas production, refining, and distribution areas, and other areas of interest. The wide range of sources studied included a coal-loading terminal, a wildfire, and wetlands.
The team analyzed the data in conjunction with researchers at the University of Bremen, Germany, who analyzed inventories and satellite data from the Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography (SCIAMACHY) instrument onboard the European Space Agency's (ESA) ENVISAT satellite to confirm the finding of strong methane sources in regions of fossil fuel activity. The surface measurements found methane levels increased as the researchers moved toward Houston, and then decreased as they continued westward –– the same trend observed in satellite data spanning the continent.
Previous methane studies have focused primarily on large-scale airborne data, which were challenging to separate from local sources, according to Leifer. In fact, clear identification of individual sources often could not be conducted, requiring computer models and other surface measurements.
The team compared maps of estimated methane emissions based on data from the International Energy Agency of the U.S. Department of Energy with satellite methane maps. They found that, in some cases, to explain observed higher methane concentrations required higher emissions than current emission maps present, particularly in large regions of fossil fuel industrial activity. In other cases, though, they could rule out that wetlands such as swamps may have been important. In such cases, separating wetland methane contributions from fossil fuel industrial contributions was not possible with their approach, Leifer said, "This is a topic we are investigating further through new research," he added.
"Methane is the strongest human greenhouse gas on a political or short timescale, and also has more bang for the buck in terms of addressing climate change," said Leifer. "This research supports other recent findings suggesting that fugitive emissions from fossil fuel industrial activity actually are the largest methane source. This clearly indicates a need for efforts to focus on reducing these methane emissions."
The researchers found the highest methane concentrations in areas with significant refinery activity, and in California in a Central Valley region of oil and gas production. Methane levels near refineries were not uniform, varying greatly from spot to spot and at different times. Nighttime concentrations were dramatically enhanced when the winds died down, forming a calm, shallow atmospheric layer near the surface, according to Leifer.
Perhaps the most surprising discovery was made in the Los Angeles area, where the study highlighted the importance of geologic methane emissions in the North Los Angeles Basin, centered on the La Brea Tar Pits. Rough estimation of emissions from the data suggests 10-20 percent of the methane emissions from Los Angeles could be natural geologic, influenced by the vast number of abandoned wells throughout the area.

This issue of leakage needs a lot more attention.
Are we worsening our precarious situation by punching more and more holes in our planet?
In pa, there are already thousands of old, unmapped and unregulated holes for the stuffntonescape thru when released by nearby FRACKING!
UCTv Prime focuses on Scripps Institute of Oceanography and even a speach by Sec. Of State Clinton showing the effects of short lived emmissions such as methane, black carbon, and HFC's.
Above it reads: "Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, stronger than carbon dioxide on a 20-year timescale, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, though on a century timescale, carbon dioxide is far stronger". To my knowledge is not like this. According to IPPC Methane is 72 times stronger than CO2 at 20-year timescale; 25 times stronger at 100-year; and 7 times stronger at 500 years. These are the so-called Global Warming Potentials, and they have to do with radiative forcing. In the report Physical Basics (IPCC) is explained in details and a table for several gases depicted.
"Rough estimation of emissions from the data suggests 10-20 percent of the methane emissions from Los Angeles could be natural geologic, influenced by the vast number of abandoned wells throughout the area." Why are abandoned wells called 'natural'? Drillers years ago created the channel for the methane to escape. And then left. When drillers abandon fracked wells in the future, the methane (and toxic chemical leaks) should not be considered natural.
And how many fracking shafts will there be, with the rapid depletion rate involved? Sounds like the USA might simply 'fray at the edges'.
A stolen quote "only you can stop faucet fires Stop fracking now"
I wonder how long it will be before we get reports of this in Oz. Probably before the scientific study is completed, ME
Agree with Gonzalez above:
"Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, stronger than carbon dioxide on a 20-year timescale, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, though on a century timescale, carbon dioxide is far stronger."
is a completely incorrect statement. Methane is far more potent than CO2 at both time scales.
This is the second time I have seen this and it appears that writers are copying from an illiterate source.
I am a colleague of Howarth and Ingraffea and this powerful and fairly long lasting effect of leaked methane is a key objection of ours to extreme shale gas extraction.
Stanley R Scobie, PH.D., Senior Fellow. PSE Healthy Energy http://psehealthyenergy.org)
Too bad they didn't wander across Pennsylvania.
We keep punching holes in the earth, keep drilling for gas, keep feeding cattle improperly, keep warming the planet; so what is so surprising when methane is released? I would not be surprised if methane became the number one cause of global warming in the near future. Of course we all know that methane becomes CO2 after a time, so it's effects are for thousands of years. When the hydrates kick in further, we no longer have control.
If we wait long enough we can shut off man-made production of CO2 and have very little effect on the outcome. I wonder when the lines cross.
Good catch.
I'll vote too. We need about 100 times as much methane sampling, both in the USA and worldwide. We need to zero in on the worst regions, then the worst point-source offenders. Would some foundation please chip in for the sampling equipment and the gas/electric/biodiesel money?
The USA has frayed at the edges. And that was before fracking.
A world controlled by mega corporations. Remember last year's big flat about the the fracking study at the University of Texas that was run by a guy who who also worked for gas companies but conveniently forgot to disclose that fact? A lot — actually way too much research in this country is funded by corporations.
You guys are amateurs. Our late, unlamented, PM, John Howard, appointed a pro-coal 'scientist' to the position of 'Chief Scientist' while still working, and continuing to do so, for Rio Tinto, the big carbon miner. Accusations of 'conflicts of interest', or the weasel expression 'perceived conflicts of interest' were furiously denied. In the interests of avoiding any defamation, the truth being rather unforgiving, if interested just look up Mr Batterham. He's still pushing coal-mining, as if there were no tomorrow-which thanks to his like, there probably isn't.
Looks like it's time to bring up, yet again, something I started talking about some time back: Forget the Anthropocene, a period when human activities modify the climate, and acknowledge that we're beyond that and now find ourselves in the Metricene (my term), a period when we have no choice but to explicitly control the environment.
I summarize this as a time when we'll have to "live measured lives on a managed planet". The ongoing methane issue, whether the gas is from agriculture, well and coal mine leaks, melting permafrost, or whatever, is a perfect example. We can no longer sit back and say, "Don't worry about it — it will take care of itself." We have so filled the world with people and the impacts of how we do everything that we no longer have any spare room for most of our waste and byproducts. Every unsustainable action matters, and in particular, every emission that accelerates climate change matters.
I detest this situation, but it's irrelevant how I or anyone else feels about it; the universe is stunningly, infinitely indifferent to human affairs. It is up to us to find the maturity and develop the capability to manage the mess we've created, or pay a horrific price.
Philip, you remind me that my dad, a wise old bushie, never been out of the country before, did a 3 month tour of the USA in 1983 after he and mum retired, to see the miracle country that was the USA. He wrote pages of observations everyday. When I asked him for a summary, he just shook his head and said 'darling, that country is on the skids'. As I know now, freedom is not every individual for themself, 'doing their own thing': it is the opportunity for everybody to grow together as they work together, which I think was originally the ethic of the US but which has been lost in the rush to privatization, ME
Keith Shine at U of Reading, UK, one of the originators of the GWP concept says the work of Drew Shindell of NASA GISS "does change the picture" presented by the IPCC AR4 of the GWP of methane "quite significantly", i.e. Shindell says the impact of methane is about 30% greater than what the AR4 states, and, Shindell says, his new numbers "may still be too low". I wrote about Shindell in an article on the Howarth study some years ago, here.
Those who need to dump on the Howarth study which concluded that leaking methane associated with production transport and distribution makes a mockery of the belief that US GHG emissions are declining as the country switches out a lot of coal burning in favor of the use of gas should consider what it means when they admit that the data available on methane leakage is not that good. Everyone agrees more study is needed, yet far too many assume we can now say the increased use of gas in the US is doing something about US GHG emissions.
I expect Leifer and students shouldn't have much trouble categorising fossil methane from wetland and other current biogenic sources, as the latter should contain detectable carbon-14. Their present instrument may well be sensitive enough to detect it; if not there are GC-MS alternatives. The team is likely spending time researching just what various C-14/C-12 ratios mean in terms of possible combinations of age and mixtures of source. Cool chemistry.
