Voice: Wendy Domino, Thomas Township
In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we need to banish the use of recombinant bovine growth hormone from our dairy supply. Several other countries have outlawed this known carcinogen for causing breast and prostate cancer. But don't take my word for it; Google it for yourself. You may never consume nonorganic milk or cheese again.
Tragically, in America we allow our dairy farmers to use this poison in the name of profit and at the cost of sky-high breast and prostate cancer rates. We need to demand better choices for ourselves, whether it be more hormone-free dairy choices in the grocery store to banning this horrible chemical from our food chain altogether.

Running back claims honor after setting school and C-USA record with 303 rushing yards and five touchdowns
NEW ORLEANS, La.-Less than 24 hours after setting a boatload of records in the Green Wave's 35-27 victory over Southeastern Louisiana, Tulane University football standout Matt Forte was named Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week, the Walter Camp Football Foundation announced Sunday afternoon.
A senior running back from Slidell, La., Forte earned the national honor after setting Tulane and Conference USA records with 303 yards rushing while scoring five touchdowns on 40 carries. Forte had touchdown runs of three, four, 11, 21 and 22 yards to set a Tulane single-game touchdown record and tie a league standard.
His 303 rushing yards breaks the previous team record of 249 set by Mewelde Moore vs. Cincinnati on Oct. 6, 2001. The former C-USA rushing record was 300 yards, set by Houston's Joffrey Reynolds vs. East Carolina on Nov. 9, 2002.
Forte's five TDs eclipsed the previous mark of four set by Charles "Peggy" Flournoy vs. Louisiana Tech on Nov. 7, 1925 and tied by Tony Converse vs. Louisiana Tech on Nov. 26, 1998 and tied him with five other student-athletes for the C-USA standard.
His rushing yardage was the second-most in the nation on the ground over the last three seasons, behind only Northern Illinois' Garrett Wolfe's 353 in 2006.Forte's rushing total against the Lions was more yards than seven I-A (Bowl Subdivision) teams have all season.
The Green Wave's workhorse in the second half, Forte tallied 177 yards and three scores on 25 carries after the break. He averaged 7.6 yards per carry on the night, and his 312 all-purpose yards ranks second in Tulane single-game history.
His 40 carries ranks second in Tulane single-game history, behind Bill Banker's 43 totes vs. Ole Miss on Oct. 1, 1927. It also stands tied for fourth in C-USA history and in the history of the Louisiana Superdome.
In addition to the Walter Camp honor, Forte is also one of four nominees for the AT&T All-America Player of the Week Award. In the lone national award voted on by fans of the game, Forte joins Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell, Illinois running back Rashard Mendenhall and Syracuse wide receiver Taj Smith on the ballot, which was selected by ESPN.
Fans can determine the winner by text messaging VOTE to 87654 on their wireless telephone. Voting will take place until 10:59 p.m. (CST) on Wednesday, Sept. 26, and the winner will be announced on Sept. 27 during Thursday's ESPN College Football Primetime presented by Applebee's football game between C-USA member Southern Miss and Boise State.
There is no limit on fan voting, and each vote counts as one entry into a sweepstakes to win a trip to the 2008 BCS National Championship game in the Louisiana Superdome. The AT&T All-America Player of the Week program will continue throughout the season, with the nominees being revealed each Sunday on ESPN's SportsCenter at 8 a.m. (CST) and on the web at www.espnallamerica.com.
Forte and the Green Wave return to action on Saturday, Sept. 29, when they close out a four-game homestand to start the 2007 season against arch-rival LSU. The game is slated to kickoff at 11 a.m. and will be televised nationally on ESPN2.
Season and single-game tickets for the 2007 season remain on sale through the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. Tickets can be purchased in person, over the telephone at (504) 861-WAVE or via the internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.

GREENSBORO, N.C. - McKenna Maycock added another eye-popping entry to her voluminous personal athletic resume on Tuesday at North Carolina A&T University.
She'll be able to file it under the following heading: ''All-American.''
Article Photos
Above, McKenna Maycock is seen competing at the USA?Track & Field Region 2 Junior Olympics at Strider Field earlier this month. Below, Maycock wears her medal after capturing All-American honors at the USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships on Tuesday.
P-J photo by Scott Reagle (above), Submitted photo (below)
Sparked by personal bests in the javelin and 800 meters - the penultimate and final events - the Randolph teenager representing the Chautauqua Striders earned All-American designation for the second time since 2011 by placing sixth in the 15-16 Girls heptathlon at the USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships.
''She's a two-time All-American,'' Chautauqua Striders coach David Reinhardt said. ''She's gone to two national meets and come home with two medals. To come home with a medal is something quite special.''
And, just like she did two summers ago at the USATF Nationals in Wichita, Kan., Maycock, who arrived in Greensboro ranked 13th, saved her best for last.
Starting the day in seventh place after compiling 2,451 points in four events on Monday, the junior-to-be at Randolph Central School began the second day with a ninth-place finish in the long jump (16-4 for 557 points), followed by a 16th-place throw in the javelin (71-1). The latter event dropped her into 10th place overall, Reinhardt said, but what was significant was the toss earned her nearly twice as many points (320) as her best throw (164) did at the regional meet two weeks ago at Strider Field. Given the competitiveness of the 31-athlete field, every point was precious.
''Coach (Liz) Aldrich worked with me (last week) and she was patient, even when I couldn't get it right,'' Maycock said. ''She gave me little notes so I could remember everything.''
Maycock didn't need any assistance in the final heptathlon event - the 800 - winning her heat in 2:18.63 to finish second overall and come away with 803 points.
''The difference between fifth and 12th place was separated by only 100 points,'' Reinhardt said. ''She needed to go out and give her best. Just for her to go from 10th to sixth, she needed her best.''
Leading her heat for the first 300 meters, Maycock relinquished her advantage, but got it back with between 200-300 meters remaining
''McKenna made a move and went by the girl and pretty much held the lead with a little bit of a kick as well,'' Reinhardt said. ''We knew she had a great time, but with all the girls so close it wasn't until 20 minutes later when we got the scores that came down from USATF.''
The numbers didn't lie. Maycock had jumped from 10th to sixth in the standings, good enough for All-American honors. Her aggregate point total - 4,170 - was 274 better than what she did at regionals two weeks ago and just 16 points behind fifth-place finisher Tairyn Montgomery of the Los Angeles Jets. The winner was Emma Fitzgerald, competing unattached, with 4,698 points.
''When you look at the heptathlon,'' Reinhardt said, '' it's speed, it's strength, it's endurance, it's mental toughness and it's seven events over two days.''
And to Maycock, who was a pentathlon All-American in the 13-14 Girls in Wichita in 2011, it's simply an ''awesome feeling.''
She doesn't have much time to consider her latest accomplishment, because she's scheduled to compete in the 400-meter hurdles this morning.
''Hopefully, ''Maycock said with a laugh, ''I can do it again.''

This week Fall has arrived in full force. Last week it was warm, hot even, and shorts and flip flops were a requirement. This week, the chilly weather has arrived. We even had snow in the mountains, which I must admit I'm not too thrilled about. But like it or not, fall is here and winter is not far behind. It's best I get on board.
There is a silver lining to colder weather— the comfort food. I'm craving soups and homemade macaroni and cheese. Sipping hot apple cider while curled up under a cozy blanket suddenly sounds very appealing. Goodbye fresh summer salads, hello hot casseroles.
My baking cravings are changing too. It's time for apple pies, and desserts drenched in caramel.
These scones are perfect for a fall morning, lathered in jam or preserves from the summer's harvest. Or serve them with lunch or dinner alongside a hearty stew or soup. What sets them apart is the whole wheat flour, oats, and brown sugar they contain. They also contain a lot of butter, and when all of these ingredients bake together you get such a rich and hearty aroma and flavor.
Rich and hearty, that's what will get me through the next several chilly months. That and my well-worn wool socks.

Makes 8 scones
View printable recipe
1 3/4 all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 heaped tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes
1/3 cup buttermilk, cold
1 egg, lightly beaten, for glaze
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine, the all-purpose flour, wheat flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Use a pastry blender or fork to work the butter into the flour mixture. Add the buttermilk and mix gently with a spoon, and then your hands, to bring the mixture together into a ball. Add additional buttermilk a tablespoon at a time, if the mixture is too dry. Do not overwork the dough.
Put the ball of dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough to be about 1 inch tall. Use a 2.5 inch cutter to cut scone rounds. Place the cut scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with the beaten egg.
Bake until tops are golden, about 18-20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Scones are best enjoyed the day they are baked, but can be stored at room temperature for a couple of days.

AN independent assessment of the Gunns pulp mill could overcome lingering bitterness about its approval, forest peace talk facilitator Bill Kelty has suggested.
In his first public statement about his role Mr Kelty said it would be easy to conclude that no agreement was possible from the peace talks.
He said that any agreement would require the environmental signatories to agree to the Bell Bay pulp mill.
"There are no others [mills] planned that I know of," he said.
Mr Kelty said the trade-off would be the saving of 572,000ha of high conservation value forest.
He said he had spoken to Gunns' potential joint venture partners but not to potential financiers.
"It was clearly understood by the signatories that they would support 'a pulp mill' but there is clearly now only one proposition available at the moment," he said.
Mr Kelty said the parties had to discuss the pulp mill to be able to meet the terms of their agreement or some alternative to that agreement.
• ABC Online: Kelty in talks with potential mill partner
Tasmania's forestry peace deal broker, Billl Kelty, has revealed he has had discussions with a potential joint venture partner for Gunns' proposed Tamar Valley pulp mill.
Mr Kelty is facilitating negotiations between the forestry industry and green groups to end most logging in public native forests.
At his first media conference in the role, Mr Kelty confirmed he had met a possible joint venture partner for the $2.3 billion pulp mill, as part of his role.
"This is so significant that if people have a view, and are a substantive player, then I think it wise to talk to them," he said.
Mr Kelty refused to be drawn on the progress of the talks but says there is goodwill on all sides.
He says it is up to the State Government to decide whether to make his report public.
He would not reveal the detail but he hinted there was goodwill on all sides to reach an agreement.
"I think it's very easy to draw the conclusion that there will be no agreement, I think that's the easiest conclusion," he said.
"But because it's the easiest doesn't mean it's the right conclusion and what the signatories have said is 'let's continue the process'."
The Premier Lara Giddings says the parties to the forestry talks will have to reach agreement on Gunns Tamar Valley pulp mill for the process to work.
Ms Giddings has told ABC Local Radio it's possible the talks will fail.
• Senator Christine Milne
Tasmania sells out Tamar wineries as WA moves to protect Margaret River wine region
Just as the Tasmanian government has sold out the tourism and fine foods and wines industries in the Tamar Valley, the EPA in WA this week has rejected a coal mine 15km from Margaret River wine region to protect the area's social fabric.
"WA Premier Colin Barnett said last year that whilst his government was pro mining and predevelopment, he recognised there was a potential conflict of interest between a mine and the character of Margaret River.
"Local residents have opposed the underground mine because of concerns about ground water contamination and the loss of reputation.
"Why is it that the WA Premier can see the importance of Margaret River to WA tourism and wine industries and Tasmania's Premier Lara Giddings cannot see the same conflict of interest between a huge polluting, stinking pulp mill and the Tamar Valley wine industry?
"The Tamar Valley has thirty wineries on its wine route and many more businesses dependent on the half a million visitors who visit the Tamar Valley each year. Furthermore the Tamar Valley wineries are a critical component of Tasmania's fine wine state branding," Greens Deputy Leader, Christine Milne said today.
The WA EPA said,
"Even though some of the significant impacts, or risks, may be presented as being manageable because of their low probability of occurring, the environmental consequences of some low probability event may be so serious, widespread or irreversible that the proposal taken as a whole, on balance, presents unacceptable risks to important environmental values, and thus makes the proposal environmentally unacceptable."
"Rotten egg gas stench, organochlorines into Bass Strait, noise above the set limits, and log trucks on the roads are not manageable or of low probability, these are real impacts and high risks and make the pulp mill environmentally unacceptable by the same logic, if the planning process is not corrupted.
"Just as Western Australians think that Margaret River is worth fighting for, Tasmanians think that the Tamar Valley must be protected," Senator Milne concluded.
Download: The AFR story on the Margaret River mine rejection:
Huon Valley Environment Centre is conducting a walk in on logging operations at West Wellington.
15 Conservationists have today walked in to an old growth logging area in the West Wellington region of Tasmania's southern forests.
"These forests that are being logged every day in the West Wellington were started during the three month phase out period from December to March. If the State Government had acted to implement a progressive moratorium and no new logging roads were permitted after the 15 December, these high conservation value forests would have been saved," Huon Valley Environment Centre's Jenny Weber said.
"Conservation values of the forests that the community has walked in to today, include endangered species habitat and water catchment for the Judds Creek community. The ongoing loss of unique old growth forests is due to the State Government prioritising timber barons with wood supply security rather than rural communities who are asking for their livelihoods, health and environment are protected," Jenny Weber said.
• Matthew Denholm, The Australian: Make mill deal or lose, Bill Kelty tells greens
FORESTRY peace broker Bill Kelty has warned that green groups must strike a deal on the Gunns Tamar Valley pulp mill - or miss out on the permanent protection of 565,000 hectares of native forests.
The former union leader, appointed to "facilitate" a negotiated peace between loggers and green groups, also yesterday warned that Gunns should submit to a new, independent mill assessment.
Stepping up pressure for a compromise, Mr Kelty said there had to be agreement on a plantation-fed mill to allow Gunns to exit native-forest logging and free up enough wood to allow an industry transition out of old forests.
"That is almost the biggest game in town in terms of getting an industry settlement together with an environmental settlement," he said.
"A proposal by Gunns to have a pulp mill at Bell Bay in the Tamar Valley is the only essential proposition that is on the table."
However, he revealed all sides to the historic talks - unions, industry and green groups - now backed the appointment of an independent person to assess whether the mill met environmental guidelines.
Gunns has been strongly resisting the move, arguing it has already secured full state and federal approvals, but managing director Greg L'Estrange yesterday began a round of further talks with Mr Kelty.
Mr Kelty said it was "easy to conclude that there will be no agreement" due to ongoing differences on the $2.3 billion pulp mill.
However, his interim report, to be passed to state and federal governments by week's end, would recommend that the talks to find a solution to 30 years of conflict continue.
The two substantive issues to be decided were a logging moratorium with agreed security of wood supply - and the pulp mill.
The moratorium was agreed earlier this month, temporarily protecting 565,000ha of high conservation value forests from logging, while allowing up to 12,000ha to be harvested.
Only the mill remained unresolved, he said. However, peak group, Environment Tasmania, yesterday said that while green groups had an "open mind" about a new independent assessment, they remained opposed to the mill.
Mr Kelty expressed "uncertainty" about Gunns' "economic position" and confirmed he had held talks with potential joint venture partners for the project.

I'm in awe of the crunch the leaves emit beneath the weight of my feet and how they blanket my lawn as if preparing it for a cold winter to come. I cannot bring myself to rake. I feel as if the earth needs this protective layer. Come springtime, I promise, they will be gone. But, for now, I must be grateful for their beauty and warmth. Don't get me wrong, I think it is commendable how many people diligently rid their lawn of leaves once the trees are bare. It is just a difference of opinion and another perspective of aesthetics. Neither is right or wrong. Both are beautiful.
I eagerly anticipate the inevitable colder days to come, much colder days. Yes, even the -20 days in winter are thrilling. The wind chill factor and how jeans don't protect you from it. The pain in your face from a subtle breeze in the air and how you have to wrap a scarf around everything except your eyes sometimes just to walk into the grocery store. I think growing up in Southern California made me appreciate these extreme changes in weather. But wait, I am getting ahead of myself; it's fall and this season needs the attention it deserves. We can't think of it as merely a prelude to freezing days to come.
Living most of my life in a climate where the weather remains at clear skies and 70-plus degrees gets old. I like variety. Minnesota has the most perfect seasons: each one exactly as it should be. We are very lucky indeed. As if overnight, everything went from green to red and yellow to brown. Bald eagles soar over Highway 13, deer peer out from behind garages in New Ulm, and ripples of waves caress Lake Hanska from the increasing strength of the breeze.

Simmering beef and vegetables in a bottle of burgundy wine makes a hearty stew (next photo) perfect for the colder seasons.
When the seasons turn to fall and winter, it's time for hearty, warm dishes like Beef Bourguinon.
I enjoy the misty mornings on my way to take the kids to the bus and the crackle of walking on the frosty grass. It's great to pull out your boots and sweaters, hats and scarves, and get chances to wear them. With each new season comes inspiration for meals that suit the climate. We, Minnesotans, are lucky to have so much encouragement from Mother Nature to make a variety of delectable dishes.
For fall, I think we are in need of some hearty comfort food. We should make food that will warm and nourish us from the inside out. Beef bourguignon does the trick. How could beef, garlic, spices and tons of red wine not taste delectable? It has to be fantastic. To make it even better, after you work on the initial preparation for about 20 minutes, you just leave it to work its magic for hours as you do what you want to do. Also, once you have a bit for dinner that first evening and put the rest in the fridge... it's even tastier the next day, once all of the herbs and spices have had a good chance to truly get acquainted.
Apparently, the French used to make this dish as a way to make cheap and tough cuts of meat palatable by simmering it in wine for hours. However, beef bourguignon has become a staple in haute cuisine. This is because, although it is simple and inexpensive to make (this recipe cost me about ten dollars in ingredients), it is so delicious. You can make it in a Dutch oven or stock pot and allow it to simmer for hours while your home becomes bathed in the scents of a French cafe. You can make it in a crock pot and allow it to cook longer than two hours if you will be away from home. When you return to the smells of your kitchen, you will think you hired a French chef. Either way, your home will smell amazing while this stew cooks. You and whomever you are feeding will not believe your taste buds. Bon Appetite.
Fact Box
Beef bourguignon
Time: 2 1/2 hours
Serves: 6
2 1/2 lbs. beef roast
1/4 C. olive oil
1 1/2 C. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 large potatoes, peeled and sliced thick
3 large carrots, sliced thick
6 cloves of garlic, sliced thick
2 C. button mushrooms, slice and saut in 1 tsp. butter
4 bay leaves
2 Tbsp mustard seed
1 Tbsp dry thyme
1 Tbsp dry rosemary
1 bottle burgundy wine
2 1/2 C beef broth
1/4 C. sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Cut beef into 1-1/2 inch cubes. Pat the beef dry with a paper towel. Mix flour with salt and pepper. Roll the cubes of beef into the flour.
Pour olive oil into a pot and place on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, but not smoking, place the cubes of beef into the oil. You want to brown each side of the cube. Do not let the meat touch each other. You may have to brown it in stages. Once the cubes are browned on all sides, place on a paper napkin.
Pour the rosemary, garlic, mustard seed, and thyme into the oil. Add the onion and carrots. Let these saut for about five minutes. Pour in the wine to deglaze the pot. Add the broth and the sauted mushrooms.
Sprinkle the remaining flour (about 1/2 C.) over the potatoes. Add the beef cubes and potatoes to the pot. Make sure everything is covered in liquid. If not, add more wine and broth to cover stew.
Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer with lid on for two hours. Take the lid off and skim off the oil which has accumulated on the top. Add sugar. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

The Compassionate Friends, a support group for parents and families who have lost a child, is holding its eighth annual Children's Memorial Walk on Oct. 20 in Lafreniere Park in Metairie. Registration for the walk begins at 8:30 a.m. and the walk starts at 10 a.m.
Denise St. Pierre said that, although the walk is a fundraiser, it also serves a greater purpose for parents. "We honor our child's memory by attending," she said.
Extended family members often participate in the walk, with some families demonstrating their unity through shirts bearing the child's name and image. About 250 people have attended the walk in the past.
"There are babies in strollers, people with pets," St. Pierre said. "It is quite a sight to see all of these families walking in honor of their loved one." St. Pierre is the chapter leader of the Greater New Orleans Chapter of The Compassionate Friends.
The group meets from 7 to 9 p.m. on the second Monday of every month in East Jefferson Hospital's Esplanade II room. While there are approximately 300 members in this chapter of The Compassionate Friends, only about 40 members attend each meeting. The group consists of parents, grandparents, and siblings who come together to discuss their loss.
Although the members are not professionals, they have all experienced the loss of a child. "We can listen and tell you what worked for us," St. Pierre said, "how we learned to live with our child's death." The mother of two lost her oldest child, Nicholas Joseph Pezant, in 2005. He was 20 years old. She credits The Compassionate Friends with helping her learn that "it is OK to find joy in life again."
Parents naturally face numerous struggles following their tragic loss, including feelings that they should have been able to protect their child more and that they will never truly enjoy life again. The Compassionate Friends help a member recognize the good things that are still present in his or her life and, with time, they will one day feel happiness again.
But everyone must grieve in their own way. While some people turn to their faith for support, others may turn away from religion or become angry with God. The "self-help" organization is not a religious one and they do not promote any particular faith or beliefs. "We are accepting of everyone's feelings," St. Pierre said. "We don't judge or tell people how to feel."
Perhaps one of the most difficult things a bereaved parent must face are comments that they should move on and "just accept" their child's death, often from parents who have never lost a child. St. Pierre and others know that they just do not understand the intense feelings that come with such tragedy. "We love them (our children) as long as we live," she said, "not as long as they lived."
These same people may also be uncomfortable hearing a parent discuss their lost child. Yet a grieving parent's worst fear is that others will forget their child. Attending the memorial walk and other events of The Compassionate Friends, such as the Butterfly Release in April and the World Wide Candle Lighting in December, offers families a unique opportunity. It gives them the chance to be with others who have lost a child, helping them become more comfortable talking about the child. "We love hearing their name and some memory of them." St. Pierre still maintains a friendship with some of her son's friends. They enjoy reminiscing about Pezant's ability to make everyone laugh.
In addition to programs for adults, the group offers special programs and events for siblings of children who have died. Brothers and sisters are often "forgotten mourners" as friends and family often focus on the mother and father. "Siblings hurt, too" St. Pierre said.
As the chapter leader, one of St. Pierre's responsibilities is to answer inquiries about The Compassionate Friends from families who have recently suffered a loss. "We want others to know about us and that we are here for them," she said. "We say, 'We are sorry for the reason you need us, but we are glad you found us.'"
The funds raised through the walk help to make other events possible. The registration fee is $15 per person before Oct. 10, or $20 per person after that. Participants may also sign up the day of the event. The fee includes a T-shirt, hot dog, chili, water, anddrinks. Rather than a number to be pinned to their shirt, like in other walks, participants are given a piece of paper to pin to their shirt with a space for their loved one's name.
For more information about The Compassionate Friends and the memorial walk, please contact Denise St. Pierre at 504.265.0581 or email@example.com.
For months now, volunteers have been accepting donations, sorting books and other items, and packing all of these things to be moved from the East Bank Regional Library's sorting center and storage facilities. They are doing all of this in preparation for the Friends of the Jefferson Public Library semiannual Big Book Sale. The Big Book Sale will be held at the Pontchartrain Center, located at Williams Boulevard and the Lake in Kenner. The hours for the sale are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 17 through Oct. 19 and noon to 5 p.m. on Oct. 20
Approximately 75 volunteers will be unpacking over 65,000 items just days before the doors open. The gently used items will include books, puzzles, DVDs, CDs, video and music tapes, and records. Purchases may be made with cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards. Both admission and parking for the book sale are free. All proceeds will benefit the Jefferson Parish Libraries.
For more information, please contact the Friends of Jefferson Public Library at 504.455.2665 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
'Keeping Kosher'

Interior Design and Collecting Talk at HWS
Posted on Thursday, October 30, 2003
(October 30, 2003) GENEVA, N.Y.—Interior designer Eric Cohler, a member of the Hobart Class of 1981, will present "A Passion for Collecting—Equal Parts Disease and Cure" from 6:30 until 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2, in Houghton House, room 212. Cohler will speak about his career, recent projects, and the unique design sensibility that has made him a highly demanded interior designer among his numerous well known clients—both collectors and artists. His talk will touch on well known American and European collectors, and then focus on how he integrates collections into his clients' projects.
Cohler is considered one of the country's leading interior designers. His projects have included houses, apartments, and commercial spaces across the United States, Europe and the Caribbean. Since establishing Eric Cohler Design in 1991, Cohler has earned critical praise. House Beautiful includes him annually in their "Top 100" issue and has described him as one of the 14 "best of the best" in the "next wave of designers in America." In addition, Cohler has received Traditional Home's Designer of the Year award and has been recognized by his peers as one of the 26 leading designers in the U.S.
A featured designer on the Home and Garden TV network, Cohler's work is often spotlighted on television programs including NBC's Today Show, CBS Morning News, CBS Evening News and CNN Style. In addition, he lectures frequently on design and preservation and has been a keynote speaker for Architectural Digest, the Parrish Art Museum and West Week. Most recently, Cohler was a contributing writer in House Beautiful, reflecting on the meaning of home and its place, inspired by his upbringing in homes in Chicago and New York City.
Following his undergraduate studies in art history at HWS, Eric went on to receive a master's degree in historic preservation from the Columbia University School of Architecture and a certificate in design from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
Cohler's presentation is free and the public is welcome to attend.

2183 Tasting Notes
I had to skip a few teas in my cupboard chronology that were herbals and/or at home, so that brings us to this sample from OMGsrsly. I looked at my past note and bumped by tea amount to 1.5tsp for 12oz fo water today.
I definitely like this ratio better (who would have thought I would like it stronger?). There's no bitterness to this so I could possibly even go to my normal ratio (2tsp per 12oz); maybe I'll try it next time. But in any case this is a pretty tasty cup of tea. I think it's the (unknown) base tea that makes this tea so unique. It tastes like bergamot and vanilla, but it also has some interesting other elements. I think the bergamot and vanilla are a little more subtle in this cup than the last one… the extra leaf is bringing the base out. It's not a highly flavored tea. The base has a maltiness, and something else I can't quite put my finger on. It's a good blend, and definitely a nice change up from a typical EGC.
Another mango tea from the Happy Bag, and another I was happy to try. Whereas I am not on the lookout for a good lychee oolong, I am on the lookout for a good mango black tea. The dry leaf smells intensely mango-y, like mango candy for sure. If you like mango candy, it's mouthwatering. It also smells like the base tea, kind of malty, which also smells good.
When I first tried a sip of this tea I was like "blech! bitter assam! too robust for me!" and that's how it was when it was still really hot. But as it cooled way down, the bitterness faded away and it was a pretty tasty mango tea. I think this tea will be really delicious iced. Perhaps if I want to drink it hot I should try it steeped at a lower temp, although honestly assams never really get that palatable to me. I think if I want mango tea I will go with Lupicia's Ripe Mango Oolong, and forgo the black tea base.
So continues the list of teas from my New Years Happy Bag that I haven't gotten around to trying. This was a tea that I was interested in because I do enjoy Lupicia's flavored oolongs, but then I could tell from the photo that it is actually a roasted oolong (unusually for them) and probably an Oriental Beauty base (flavor seems to confirm that). They aren't my favorite oolongs and as a base for flavored teas they can be really boring. But! I got this in my happy bag so I got to try it anyway.
The good news is that it's a decent tea. Lychee is definitely present, although I think I get it more immediately before the sip in the scent, and then as a lasting aftertaste. I definitely get the flavor of somewhat generic Oriental Beauty oolong in the main part of the sip; not quite roasty, but not green either, a touch minerally. I would prefer more lychee in the sip itself, although more does come out as it cools. I bet this would be good cold brewed. Wish they had put this one on a pouchong base, but then again I already have my perfect lychee oolong so I'm not too sad to not be in love with this one!
I was pleased to see this tea in my Happy Bag from Lupicia this year. It's always been one that I have been curious about. I love mangos, I love oolongs, and Lupicia tends to do a good job with flavored oolongs. I think that I have actually drank this once since I got it but I never wrote a tasting note for it.
There is something about the scent of the brewed tea that is really familiar, but I can't quite place it. This seems to be more of a pouchong (long wiry leaves) than a rolled high mountain oolong like many of their other flavored ones. The flavor on this is quite good. It's a bit mango hi-chews, which are some of the best mango candy that I've ever had. That still means its a bit more candy than fresh mango, but fresh fruit is difficult to capture in a tea. Then again, maybe if I had tried a ripe mango fresh from a market in southeast Asia, maybe I would tell a different story. Still, this is very nice and the oolong does add a freshness to it. Overall I am glad I have it around.
TeaBrat: this is from the happy bag that I got back in January for New Years… Just getting around to it now for most of the teas. :P
This tea I drank just now. Yum. The base on this tea seems a bit more keemun-y than Dammann's usual blend. Not sure what it is about it, but it reminds me a touch of the keemun base on Lupicia's Earl Grey.
Love drinking my tropical mangosteen tea. This one I don't crave like some of the other DF teas, but I think that's because it's a bit simpler. It's definitely still very tasty, and it captures the mangosteen flavor well. I should probably try cold brewing this one, I bet it would be awesome.
Another tea I drank yesterday. I think I was in some kind of haze because I don't really remember my session with this tea yesterday. I mean, I remember that I found it very delicious, as expected. Fruity and delicious.
I will say that I kind of love that Dammann has so many different Noël teas based on so many different places. And I love drinking them totally not at Christmas season.
I have some block against writing tasting notes lately. I drank a cup of this tea two days ago (and then another yesterday to, uh, remind me about it) and I still haven't written a note yet. Well, here it is. I had a small order of DF teas at the beginning of this year, and this tea (along with the next two) is from that.
I did not expect to be in love with this tea when I first tried it, but it just hits all the right notes for me. Caramel, chocolate, fruity in a really good way… Just smelling it makes me happy. Bumping my rating because of that fact.
Flavors: Caramel, Cocoa, Stewed Fruits
I have been so bad about tasting notes the last two days! Just super busy I guess, and a feeling of not knowing what to write.
Continuing with the cupboard chronology, I finally picked up a few ounces of this tea last fall. I've only ever had it in my cupboard as random samples before, but I finally got to add a substantial amount. This tea is kind of amazingly expensive, but it's also kind of amazingly good. Getting it at one of ATR's many 20% off sales was key.
This is sweet and creamy, and it has a distinctly fruity character as well. It's a tieguanyin, not a jin xuan or one of those quangzhou milk oolongs, so it's really quite unlike other milk oolongs. I've never come across another oolong like it, which is kind of amazing. Happy I have some more, and I will probably hoard it a fair bit due to the price.
I drank this one yesterday but didn't log it. I still think I need to drink this one back to back with my Beijing tan yang to properly evaluate it. It's a really tasty tan yang, it hits what I normally expect from a tan yang. Wish I had some of Harney's Panyang Golden Tips to compare as well! So this is a lame placeholder tasting note to basically say that I did drink it in my chronology.
I've made my way back around to my order from JK tea shop, of which two of the teas are left. The first time I had this I wasn't super impressed. I mean, I enjoyed it but it tasted mostly like a regular Taiwanese black tea (so, fruity and honeyed) but it didn't have a lot to keep me interested and there was an edge of bitterness at the parameters I brewed it.
Today I dropped my steep temp; I seem to prefer most black teas at less than boiling anyway. And today this tea is really quite delicious. I've lost a lot of the "harsh" fruitiness, that overly fruity quality that I dislike. Instead it is sweet, honeyed, caramelly, and the grains come out way more. Last time I said it smelled like a cross between a Fujian and a Taiwanese black. At boiling, the flavor was all Taiwanese black, but at 195°F, those notes relax a bit and the Fujian makes itself known. There is still a bit of fruity Taiwanese black hanging out, though.
All in all, this is a way more interesting and way more delicious tea. Glad I made it with these parameters.

Red-Hot Nats Next
Doc struggled but the offense, led by Chooch, came up big, giving the Phillies a series win against San Diego last night. The Phillies finished the season 17-16 against the NL West.
Throughout his career, Doc has had trouble in the first inning. He gave up a lead-off homer to start last night's game, the 16th earned run he's allowed in the opening inning this season. He then settled down and was coasting until he lost the strike zone in the fifth, walking four consecutive batters for the first time in his career (2,743 innings). He finished with five walks for the second straight game. Doc last did that in 1999 when he did it twice. This month, he has 10 walks, 11 strikeouts in 10.1 innings.
Five relievers closed the door on the Padres after Doc left. Three, Ethan, B.J. and Jake, continued their impressive work. Ethan, in his second relief appearance, threw 16 pitches, nine for strikes in a 1-2-3 inning. B.J. extended his scoreless streak to 11.1 innings during with the enemy is hitting .108. Of the last 38 outs Jake has recorded, he has 20 strikeouts (12.2 innings) while walking two. All three are attacking the strike zone and show promise for the future. Upgrading the bullpen is on Ruben's bucket list. That upgrade may be here.
Chooch, heading into free agency, is on fire. In last 20 games, .389 with 16 RBI.
Remember when he finally started playing in late April, he went 2-20.
After the game, the Phillies took an AMTRAK charter train to Washington for a weekend series against the red-hot Nationals, winners of six in a row. They're fresh from a sweep of the Mets during which they out-homered them, 13-0. Washington has crept to within 5.5 games of the second wildcard berth.
Ten days ago, the Nats took two of three from the Phillies in Philly. They started their three aces in that series and that's what the Phillies are facing again. Phillies are winless in their last four games at Nationals Park.
Final six CBP games start on Monday against the Marlins with the Mets to follow for the final three games.
Nearing an Elite Class
J-Roll's next home run will be #200. He will then become the 11th player ever to have 200 homers and steal 400 bases.
This Date
September 13, 1974—St. Louis downs Phillies, 7-3, in 17 innings at the Vet. Phillies used 27 players, St. Louis 24. 51 players is a major league record for an extra inning game. Eight Phillies pitchers walk
September 14, 1984
LHP Steve Carlton wins his 235th game, 9-5 over Montreal at the Vet, to break the club record held by Robin Roberts.
September 15, 1984
2B Juan Samuel breaks the club record with his 18th triple in a 4-3 loss to Montreal at the Vet. RF Elmer Flick set the record in 1901. Samuel finishes the season with 19 triples, a club rookie record.

We begin in the McKinley High locker room, where Finn is relaxing in a hot tub. Next to him, Sam settles into a bath full of ice. Finn asks him how the hell he can stand the cold, and Sam says he's used to it since he started dating Quinn. We get a flashback of Sam and Quinn making out. Sam wants to go further, but Quinn tells him no, and Sam is obviously frustrated. Finn commiserates, and wonders how he and Sam managed to start dating the only girls in school who won't put out. Sam asks what they can do, and Finn suggests thinking about the opposite of making out. We get another flashback to Finn and Rachel making out. Finn remembers the mailman incident, which greatly aids the situation. Back to the locker room. Sam says that he's never actually almost killed a civil servant before, and Finn tells him that he just needs to think of something completely unappealing. Cue Beiste. Sam and Finn both agree that (s)he makes an excellent buzzkill. Kurt and Tina walk along a hallway to class when Karofsky walks past them and slams Kurt into a locker without looking back. In Glee class, Mr Schue welcomes back Puck, who's out of juvie. Schue briefly hopes that Puck's actually learnt his lesson and become a better person, but Puck shoots him down. Schue announces that they have two new opponents for Sectionals: the Warblers, a choir from an all-boys school called Dalton Academy in Westerville, and a senior citizens' choir called the Hipsters. He also announces the second Boys vs Girls tournament. Kurt wants to join the girls, but Schue makes him join the guys, which he really isn't pleased about. Puck approaches Artie at his locker. The subsequent conversation reveals that to get out of juvie early, Puck sold his probation officer a story that he knew a cripple who needed help, so he wouldn't have to pick up trash from the roadside. Artie isn't too pleased. Karofsky throws Kurt into the lockers again. They have a screaming match in which Karofsky tries entirely too hard to be butch and Kurt throws insults at him. It ends with Karofsky shoving Kurt into the lockers, right in Schue's view. Schue talks to Kurt and asks if Kurt needs help. Kurt tells him that he needs to do it alone, and Schue says that he's noticed that Kurt's mood has taken a turn for the worse lately. No shit. Kurt says that Schue is too quick to let homophobia slide, but he then starts going on about Schue's lesson plans, so back in Glee class, Schue changes the tournament so that the girls are now singing songs usually sung by boys, and vice versa. Kurt is delighted. Kurt attempts to orchestrate the boys into singing a Diana Ross number with him as lead. The boys shoot him down, and Puck says that if he wants to be useful, he should go spy on the Warblers. Kurt walks out. Sam and Quinn are making out. Sam summons up the image of Beiste in a black negligee. It works beautifully as a buzzkill, but when Quinn tells him to say her name, Sam says Beiste instead. Whoops. Quinn instantly runs to Sue, asking for help as she thinks Sam wants Beiste. Sue tells her to go public, confront Sam, and they'll try turning Beiste into Mary Kay Letourneau. Puck and Artie busk, performing 'One Love/People Get Ready' at lunchtime at school, and make a fair amount. They decide to spend it on a double date with Santana and Brittany at Breadstix. At Dalton Academy, Kurt's attempting to spy. He's surrounded by frantically rushing Dalton boys, and stops one of them to ask what's going on, offering a cover story that he's a new kid. The boy he stopped introduces himself as Blaine and explains that the Warblers sometimes perform in the senior common room, and everyone goes to watch when they do. Kurt is stunned by the concept of a school where the Glee club isn't alienated. Blaine grabs Kurt's hand and tows him along to the common room. When they get there, they find that the place is being adjusted so the Warblers have more room to sing. Kurt sighs that he sticks out like a sore thumb, and given that everyone in Dalton is wearing a uniform while Kurt's wearing clothes that are a fairly good imitation but don't actually pass, no shit. Blaine tells him not to forget his jacket next time. The Warblers start to perform and Blaine propels himself into their midst, revealing himself to be their lead singer. They perform Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream', and Kurt is overwhelmed at the sight of his future husband. Back at McKinley, Mike tells Tina about Sam's buzzkill strategy. Tina thinks it's hilarious and drags Mike into a classroom to make out. Everything goes well until Tina whispers 'Beiste' and Mike hears her. He, naturally, is not amused. Tina tries to pretend she didn't say it, but she's not fooling anyone. Quinn publicly confronts Sam, and everything turns into one huge mess as Mike, Beiste and Schue get involved. Schue drags Mike and Sam into his office and berates them for insulting Beiste so cruelly- after all, (s)he's an outsider who people see as different. He points out how upset Beiste would be if (s)he knew, and tells them that being so cruel to an outsider is what the Glee club is trying to prevent. He tells them that they need to tell everyone else in the club to stop it, and that Beiste can never find out. At Dalton, Blaine and two other Warblers, David and Wes, have confronted Kurt over his spying, since he showed up again the day after he first went there. Kurt asks if they're all gay. Blaine says that he is, but David and Wes both have girlfriends. David and Wes explain that while Dalton isn't a gay school, what they have is a zero-tolerance harassment policy. Poor Kurt is almost crying at this point, so Blaine asks David and Wes to give them some privacy. Kurt tells Blaine about Karofsky and how horrible his life has become, and that nobody seems to give a damn. Blaine admits that he was also bullied, and he also went to the faculty, but nothing resulted, so he went to Dalton. He tells Kurt that he has two options: transfer to Dalton, which may not be feasible as it's an expensive school, or refuse to be the victim and confront Karofsky. Back at McKinley, Puck and Artie ask Brittany and Santana out. Beiste asks Will why his kids are mouthing off to hir, and says that if the students don't respect hir, she can't do her job. Will admits that his students are using her as an anti-fantasy, and Beiste becomes upset and leaves. At Breadstix, Puck brags about how awesome he was in juvie before deciding that the four of them are going to leave without paying. Artie, who isn't a dick, hangs back to pay and give the waitress a tip. Puck gets angry at Artie and tells him that he won't help him anymore. In the music room, the Glee girls perform a mash-up of 'Start Me Up' and 'Livin' On A Prayer'. Kurt gets a text from Blaine that says 'Courage'. At the end of it, Becky gives Will a note from Sue telling him to go to the auditorium. In the auditorium, Sue gleefully announces, with the aid of confetti cannons, that they got Beiste fired (well, (s)he quit) and now they can rejoice, for they have their budgets restored. In the hallway, Kurt is rereading his text from Blaine when Karofsky knocks the phone out of his hand and shoves him into the lockers. Kurt, now fuelled by Blaine's text, chases after him and follows him into the locker room, where they throw insults at each other until Karofsky grabs Kurt's face and kisses him. He releases Kurt and tries for another kiss, but Kurt shoves him away and Karofsky punches the locker in frustration and storms out, leaving Kurt standing there with an expression of absolute horror, and the audience staring at the screen with identical expressions. In the Glee room, Will angrily screams at the club for driving Beiste to quit. Rachel is understandably confused, so Finn admits that they were using hir as an anti-fantasy. Figgins storms in and drags Will and Puck to his office, where Puck's probation officer is waiting. The probation officer is angry that Puck lied to her, and hanging out with Artie doesn't count as community service. Unless Puck actually starts serving the community, he's going back to juvie. Puck throws a fit and runs out. In one of McKinley's external stairwells, Kurt and Blaine confront Karofsky, trying to help him understand that he's not alone so he doesn't need to push around gay kids and pretend that he's straight. Karofsky refuses to admit that he's gay, shoves Blaine into the barrier and runs off. Kurt tells Blaine that things are even worse because his first real kiss- i.e., with a guy- was in fact sexual assault. In the locker room, Will tries to convince Beiste not to quit. (S)he admits that the whole thing has destroyed hir self-esteem as (s)he's forty and (s)he's never been kissed. Will gives hir a chaste kiss. In the hallway, Puck admits to Artie that everything he said about juvie was a lie, he got shoved around, and he's terrified of going back. Artie cuts him a deal: Puck will be picking up trash, and in return Artie will tutor him in Geometry. Kurt stands at his locker, revealing that he's set up a Stalker Shrine to Blaine, complete with a huge photo and the word 'Courage'. Karofsky shoves him into the locker and Kurt falls to the floor, staring at the wall sadly. The Glee guys apologise to Beiste and perform a mash-up of 'Stop! In the Name of Love' and 'Free Your Mind' as a tribute to hir. Beiste admits that it was good, and they have a group hug.

- "One Love/People Get Ready" by Bob Marley, performed by Puck and Artie

"When she saw me gazing at the table with obvious lust, she told me that everything on the table had been made by Milwaukie Popcorn and Candyland," she said. "The next morning I was at their doorstep."
Wellman, author of the eat.shop guides, which got their start in Portland, gave a tour of the city at a recent Society of Travel Writers Conference. There, she was introduced to a reporter from USA Today who was compiling a candy store top ten list, in commemoration of June's national candy month. After consulting with Wellman, 7 out of the 10 featured candy shops for the paper's "10 great places to savor the sweet life" were culled from eat.shop guides. Notable among the ranks: Milwaukie's Enchanté, which changed its name last year from Milwaukie Popcorn and Candyland.
"I traditionally only feature businesses that are in the urban core of a city," Wellman said. "[Enchanté] was the essence of the type of place I feature in the eat.shop guides: establishments I would happily drive across town in rush hour traffic to get to."
Kim Keehner and her mother Pat Keehner, who passed away the winter of 2008, purchased Milwaukie Popcorn and Candyland fifteen years ago to reinvigorate a local business that has bragged of over 80 years of name recognition in Milwaukie. The name change last year came in honor of Pat, who was equally as smitten with Paris as Kim
Keehner has expanded from a no-frills popcorn joint to a boutique candy retailer, styling French-themed treats from chocolate, licorice and other artfully composed luscious textures.
Keehner said the French theme was a slow transition.
"You can't just change the whole storefront overnight. We started by changing our candy jars to French candy jars, and eventually came to where we are now with French malt balls, gummy candies and chocolates topped with fleur de sel," Keehner said, who doesn't speak French, but takes frequent trips to Paris to add authentic flare to her business.
"We wanted to do something fun and add some culture to Milwaukie," said Keehner. "We have patrons from France that aren't snooty and stuffy about it. They get excited about us, and share connections they have to candy stores in France."
Wellman, who has published eat.shop guides for Paris, New York and London said the USA Today list had to include Enchanté, as any responsible candy store list should.
"Walking in makes you want to clap your hands and squeal like a three-year-old," she said. "It's one of the best I've ever seen -- anywhere."

Call 702-432-1000
Heshmati & Associates Law Offices (H.A.L.O.) is a Las Vegas law firm that represents victims of police brutality, jail and prison neglect, police misconduct, and excessive force in Nevada.
If you think you have fallen victim to police brutality contact attorneys at Heshmati & Associates at 702-432-1000 right away to discuss your case.
We take all police brutality cases on a contingency basis which means to you - you only pay if we collect the settlement for you.
Every time a victim steps forward about their experience the community and the METRO police department move closer to forcing a change.
Lawsuits by victims have helped to stop police brutality in a number of other cities including, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
Our police force in Las Vegas, Nevada can also change.
At Heshamti and Associates Law Offices in Las Vegas, Nevada we believe that the time to change Las Vegas METRO is now.
Learn what legal options are available for you. After all, knowledge is power.
When the police cross the line between adequate force and excessive force their victims often pay the price.
The public's only safeguard against excessive force by police is enforcing proper training and hiring procedures.
When the police department fails to uphold these safeguards excessive force by the police can become widespread.
The number of excessive force complaints is disproportionately high in Las Vegas.
Cities like New York and Los Angles have far lower complaints for their population than Las Vegas, Nevada. In fact, the number of excessive force claims in Las Vegas is so high that the Federal Justice Department has investigated METRO's hiring and training procedures.
Excessive force can include:
Deadly force is the worst outcome of any police incident. When deadly force is used unlawfully or without good cause the victims' families are destroyed and their community are left torn.
But unnecessary deadly force in Las Vegas can be stopped.
When the victim's family decides to fight for justice the METRO police department is forced to answer for what happened.
The Las Vegas METRO police have many options besides resorting deadly force.
In other jurisdictions, de-escalation training prevents many deadly force incidents.
However, this training is lacking in Las Vegas.
The knee-jerk reaction by some METRO officers to use deadly force as a first result will only change when METRO starts facing million dollar lawsuits for their actions.
Whenever the police abuse their power against you they have committed police misconduct.
Whether it's sexual innuendos or unnecessary force, anyone can be a victim of police misconduct.
And the damage can last a lifetime.
There are a number of reasons for police misconduct, but ultimately, the police officer should always be held responsible.
Victims of police misconduct are often entitled to monetary compensation for their physical and emotional injuries. This includes:
No person deserves to be neglected or abused when they are in prison or in Clark County Detention Center.
The government has an obligation to make sure a prisoner is safe. This legal obligation also covers adequate healthcare and suicide watch. When the government fails to uphold its obligation the government is responsible.
Monetary settlements can be available when the following are present:
If you has fallen victim to police brutality in Las Vegas, Nevada, you already know of the traumatizing affect police brutality can have.
The Law Offices of Heshmati & Associates has the expertise and resources to access tough, complex civil cases.

An ugly spat between local developers and government officials in Phuket, one of Thailand's and Asia's most luxurious resort property markets (pictured on right) threatens to derail the country's stellar rise to real-estate supremacy evident in the last few years. A series of government-sponsored investigations over encroachment onto public land and allegations of corruption and illegal titles – involving national and intentional major players such as TCC, Minor Hotel Group, Kajima Overseas and award winning projects such as Trisara and Malaiwana – have swept across Thai media channels.
Government officials were quoted threatening the destruction of resorts and villas and revocation of land titles if illegal activities were proven, with 12 properties listed in the investigation and an alleged team of 366 investigators targeting nearly 600 hectares of island land. Thailand's property sector, in recent weeks hailed by RREEF, of the Deustche Bank Group, as a highly recommended destination for international funds seeking high return, and with world-leading luxury market positioning, may suffer greatly from the ensuing collateral publicity damage and loss of foreign investor confidence, should these issues remain unsettled or unclear in coming months.
Thailand's property market will benefit from the Asean Economic Community (AEC) when it comes into effect in 2015, property experts said. Meanwhile, Thailand's property developers could face labour shortage if foreign labour from Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos move out from Thailand to their own countries, possibly following the casino and gaming resort infrastructure boom sweeping the south-east asian regions. At present, Thailand's property and construction business faces labour shortage amid rising demand for residential and infrastructure projects since 2010.
* Myanmar's far-too-swiftly-heating property market – a result of the country's sudden sharp influx of foreign interest and a pool of local funds with nowhere else to go until recently, as a result of its decades-long isolated military and foreign relations philosophy – is still struggling. Frontier market venturists "Capital Exploits" , as mentioned in last week's post, have forsaken their interest in the fledgling economy, setting their sights on the opportunity they see these days in Fiji's sustainable community initiatives, in an event which they hope may be the harbinger of a flagship development spear-heading Asia's green revolution. From a traditional property investors perspective, however, Fiji unfortunately remains a less-than-regulated environment, internationally infamous for coups, land grabs, corruption and other causes for concern for the remote investor.
Big Asian Money Finds Solace in Real-Estate
A report profiling ultra affluent real estate investors in six Asian prominent markets and detailing the common characteristics of over 11,730 Asian Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) real estate investors has been released this week – profiling a highly sought after investor base worth more than 1.9 trillion USD. Real estate remains an asset class of choice for Asian UHNW investors, the report reveals – an added 70 billion USD of investment flows into real estate in 2011 were directly attributable to ultra wealthy investors, who are estimated to be reverting to their original modus operandi after the losses they incurred on more complex instruments, with a return to more tangible assets such as bricks and mortar.
In the Middle East, where many Asian investors have traditionally fueled the world's most expensive luxury markets of Singapore and Hong-Kong, that money has been turning west, increasingly buying into NYC, London, and other formerly sky-high markets, as covered previously, seeking security. Qatar, which now plans to turn some of its prime real estate assets into hotels, capitalising on the Harrods brand to build a chain of international resorts, is a prime example of how real-estate has offered the gulf funds the freedom to seize opportunities as they arise.
Kuwait and abu-Dhabi, similarly, have had some high profile fund deals publicized as well. Despite a swiftly heating up semi-recovery market in the west, driven mainly by competition between Asian and other foreign funds, all vying for the same limited pool of trophy assets, these buyers continue to grab for more western commercial real estate because of the demand for both yield and security.
Global Gossip
* The Imperial Mansion, Beijing is the name of the new Marriott Executive Apartments Resort, a 220-unit apartment block and its fifth extended stay property in China. The Mansion, is located within the capital city's busy central business and leisure district, next door to the Forbidden City, the world's largest imperial palace (pictured below). The company claims it's a "five-star, full-service hotel with the space, ambience and privacy of residential living". The property offers studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 64 to 228 square meters. Each apartment features a professional workspace and full kitchen, and all are equipped with state-of-the-art entertainment systems. A gourmet breakfast is served daily and guests have 24-hour access to the fitness center, complete with a spacious playroom for children and heated 25-meter pool, overseeing the imperial landscape of the Forbidden City.
* The Wall-Street Journal, traditionally a "pure business" publication, is finally recognizing the relevance of the new era of cross-border property investments to a large proportion of its affluent readers. The paper said its new weekly section covering the global luxury real-estate marke, debuting this week, will be called Mansion, and is one of several investments the newspaper is considering at a time when its parent company, News Corp. (NWSA, NWS.AU), is preparing to spin off Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal as well as Dow Jones Newswires, along with other publishing assets from its entertainment businesses. The new section's stories will include property coverage with industry statistics and a focus on high-end financing, luxury real-estate topics, distinctive neighborhoods and properties around the world.
