How to Understand Algebra
People who understand algebra find it easy, believe it or not. The people who struggle and suffer with it and learn to hate it are the ones trying to skip understanding it and to just memorize rules and procedures. (Another big no, no is not showing your work even when you can do a simple problem mentally. Always skipping the steps to do problems in your head, and just writing an answer will make it impossible to do the steps for complicated problems that come later. So, understand how and why to do the steps. And do them: "Show your work"!) This has nothing to do with magic, or great talent, but everything to do with whether you understand it so you will be able to apply it in any kind of problem.
Every algebra teacher on Earth recommends understanding the steps and tries to steer you away from the agony of memorizing procedures for exams. The memorized steps can not work, because so many problems have a different order of events, parts and order of solution. Understanding the way it all works makes a way of opening and unfolding it the right way.
But how do you go about understanding algebra? It can seem daunting: all those symbols, all those letters, and (seemingly) so many rules. Read on.
1Know the meaning of every word.
- For example, understand "What does an exponent mean?" If you understand what an exponent means, not just a definition or rule, then you'll have no difficulty remembering that x²x³ = x⁵ but (x²)³ = x⁶.
- Understand: x²x³ = x⁵ means (xx)(xxx) = x⁵
- The rule, is a shortcut, is to add: x²+³ = x⁵, if you forget the rule, think about your understanding of (xx)(xxx) = xxxxx = __?
- (x²)³ = x⁶ means (xx)(xx)(xx) = x⁶
- The shortcut (the rule) is to multiply: x²*³ = x⁶, if you forget the rule, think about (xx)(xx)(xx) = __?
- Understand the real meanings of "solve for x", "simplify", and "factor". Solving for x is something you do with an equation or inequality: you figure out by a series of "undoing" of existing operations. "Undo" or reverse addition by its opposite which is subtraction. Undo multiplication by its opposite which is division, and vice versa. Working by performing opposite operations to find what numbers could be plugged in for x to make the equation true.
- Example: x + 1 = 3 shows 1 had been added, so you need to subtract: x + 1 - 1 = 3 - 1; that's x = 2.
- "Simplifying" and "factoring" are two ways of rewriting an expression: simplifying rewrites it so everything that can be combined at the most simple level will be added or subtracted. And, factoring rewrites it so everything at the final level that can be multiplied or divided to undo complications is "undone"—and these steps do not change the value of the solution, but only puts it into the simplest form, a more easily undone form.
2Know the purpose of every technique.
- For example, what purpose does factoring serve in algebra? Factoring makes multiplication and division easy (at the cost of making addition and subtraction hard). When multiplication and division are easy, you can do things like cancel in fractions and solve for x when x appears in multiple powers in one equation (like both x and x²).
- Every technique in algebra addresses some kind of difficulty that arises in solving for x—like when after you combine like terms, x still appears twice, so you can't get x alone on one side of the = sign. That's when you need to factor. Know the difficulty, know how the technique addresses it, and you will ace exams easily.
- One way to remember the purpose of every technique is to have an example. For example, if you remember a very simple example of an equation with two solutions, you'll have a really solid understanding of factoring.
3Know why each technique works.
- You should be able to explain why each technique works. If it seems like arbitrary and meaningless symbol-manipulation, then you haven't understood why it works yet. For example, you should be able to explain why cross-multiplying works.
- Every technique in algebra is simply a matter of undoing or combining the operations of arithmetic. To undo addition, you subtract; additions combine into multiplication. To undo multiplication, you divide; multiplications combine into exponentiation. To undo exponentiation, you take a root or a logarithm. Factoring is really the only hard one, because factoring undoes two things at once: multiplication combined with addition ("distribution").
- The most important thing to understand in algebra is why you can cancel the 3's in 3x/3 but you can't cancel them in (x + 3)/3. The reason is: division undoes multiplication, but division does not undo addition. If you imagine each expression as a calculation recipe, and write out the steps that you would do to calculate the result, you will see how 3x/3 has a multiplication followed by the division that reverses it, but (x + 3)/3 doesn't.
- Once you've paused to understand why each technique works, you will discover something unexpected: algebra is actually ridiculously simple, just hard to explain. There are really only a few main ideas, plus a handful of clever techniques to handle a few tricky situations that come up.
4Take a little extra time, before or after some homework, to explain to a friend the meaning of the new words in that assignment, the purpose of the techniques, and why they work. Explaining these things to someone else will lead you to understand.
Community Q&A
Why do you have to reorder some algebraic questions before you can answer them, and not others?It was discovered long ago that algebraic equations are most easily solved by following certain steps in a particular order.
I am starting college in the future. What is the easiest and fastest way to learn algebra? I have been out of high school 40 years.The easiest way is to read an algebra textbook and understand each concept as it's presented. You could also hire a tutor.
- All those homework assignments, where they have you work lots of little algebra problems, are attempts to get you to test and refine your understanding. (Too bad they never tell you that!) If you do the homework with the idea that you are trying out your understanding to see if it's right, the homework actually sticks in your brain so you can do well on exams—no suffering required!
- When you first encounter an idea in algebra, you might not know the meaning of every word, its purpose, or why it works. Here's what to do: First, try to figure it out. Then, if you don't get it after 10 honest minutes of effort, ask someone! Ask your teacher, ask a friend, ask a tutor—but get those holes in your understanding patched as soon as possible. Everything in math builds on the previous things, so until you understand, you just get more confused and discouraged.
- Understanding can't substitute for practice. Practice makes the patterns sink in so you can spot good approaches to algebra problems quickly. Understanding makes the practice effective.
- Ask questions if you need to! Parents, teachers, older siblings, and smart friends are always great resources! Just remember, if you do it with your friend, do not do it with someone you'll get distracted by. You need to be focused on algebra.
- Use the Internet! Lots of websites have helpful tutorials on explanations on how/why you do something! Just don't get off topic and start watching random videos and checking social media!

Google's Original X-Man
A Conversation With Sebastian Thrun
Sebastian Thrun
- Country: Germany
- Title: First Head of Google X, Co-founder of Udacity
- Education: University of Hildesheim, University of Bonn
- Awards: CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (1999-2003), Olympus award, German Society Pattern for Recognition (2001)
- Website: Sebastian Thrun
Sebastian Thrun is one of the world's leading experts on robotics and artificial intelligence. Born in Solingen, Germany, in 1967, he received his undergraduate education at the University of Hildesheim and his graduate education at the University of Bonn. He joined the computer science department at Carnegie Mellon University in 1995 and moved to Stanford University in 2003. Thrun led the team that won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, a driverless car competition sponsored by the U.S. Defense Department, and in 2007, he joined the staff of Google, eventually becoming the first head of Google X, the company's secretive big-think research lab. He co-founded the online-education start-up Udacity in 2012. In late August, he spoke to Foreign Affairs editor Gideon Rose in the Udacity offices.
How and why did you first get into science and technology?
As a child, I spent a lot of time with things like Lego, building trains, cars, complex structures, and I really liked that. When I was about 11, I got a TI-57 programmable calculator. This let you write programs of up to 50 steps, which would be erased when you switched it off. I got very enthusiastic about seeing just what you could do with that. Could you program a game, could you program complex geometry, could you solve financial equations? (The answer for all of those is yes.) I had a little booklet in which I kept my 50-step programs, of which I was very proud. A few years later, I got a NorthStar Horizon computer, which I used to program my own video games, which was extremely fun.
As a college student, what really interested me was the human brain and human intelligence. I dabbled in philosophy and medicine and psychology and eventually found that the most constructive way to approach those problems was through computer science and artificial intelligence: you could actually build something from the ground up that would then manifest intelligence, even if only a little bit of it, and that fascinated me.
Why robotics?

Politics of Performance in Early Renaissance Drama by Greg Walker
Book DescriptionGreg Walker provides a new account of the relationship between politics and drama in the turbulent period from the accession of Henry VIII to the reign of Elizabeth I. Building upon ideas first developed in Plays of Persuasion (1991), he focuses on political drama in both England and Scotland, exploring the complex relationships between politics, court culture and dramatic composition, performance and publication. Through a detailed analysis of one central dramatic form, the interlude or great hall play, and close study of key texts, Walker examines drama produced and adapted for varying conditions of performance: indoor and outdoor, private and public. He examines what happened when the play script was printed and sold commercially as a literary commodity. This interdisciplinary analysis will find a market among Tudor historians as well as students of medieval and Renaissance drama.

Internet governance
Internet Rights and Principles Coalition publishes its Internet Bill of Rights
The Internet Rights and Principles Coalition officially published its Internet Bill of Rights on March 31st as part of their second expert meeting in Sweden.
Mapping internet public policy
The purpose of the presentation is to put forward approaches to mapping the internet public policy space, the decision-making entities and actors participating in it. These are intended to assist civil society organisations (and, potentially, other actors) in thinking through their objectives, areas of focus and actual and potential network partners. The maps presented are intended to be illustrative rather than comprehensive, though an attempt has been made to include the major issues and institutions that affect civil society activity in the internet public policy space.
Challenging pornophobia and moral beliefs of Congolese media practitioners
Today I challenged ideas around pornophobia and morality among Congolese media practitioners
I'm just back from a cyberdialogue organized in my country around ICT and violence against women. As my organization Si Jeunesse Savait is implementing a 2-year project on the topic, I felt like it was really the place to be today. I put aside planning for next year. That could wait.
CSTD Working Group IGF Questionnaire: APC response
APC's reflections on the Fifth Internet Governance Forum
On September 17 the fifth Internet Governance Forum (IGF) came to an end in Vilnius, Lithuania. The five-year UN-run annual event is a uniquely experimental and influential space on the road to guaranteeing open, universal and affordable internet and ICT access to all. However the continuity of the IGF is uncertain. Download and read our analysis of the most recent forum.

APC's submission to the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group questionnaire
The Internet Governance Forum's Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) is a group of governments, private sector and civil society representatives, among which there are APC staff and members. This is APC's submission to a questionnaire that the MAG distributed as a follow up to its May meeting.
Blogging to tell it like it is: The IGF from a personal perspective
An unlikely, but real conversation that took place between a .xxx domain representative (which is exclusively for pornographic sites) and a feminist; the consequences of having a .gay domain; and thoughts about privacy on the internet from a victim of violence. These are some of the topics you can read about in the GenderIT.org blog from the APC team, that was blogging from the fifth Internet Governance Forum, the UN international arena to debate the internet.
A code to encourage citizen participation in how the internet is run
How can we get more citizens to participate more actively in the complex process of how the internet is run? While having accessible information about it is important, it is not enough. The institutions that work in internet governance must ensure that the information is accessible in a language and format that for those who are not specialists in the subject. APC and partners are developing a code of good practice to establish minimum standards to ensure transparency and information where internet governance is concerned.

Gender in the IGF agenda
In a workshop organised by the APC's women's programme during this year's Internet Governance Forum (IGF), one of the panellists took off his tie as he began to speak. As an unmistakeable element of IGF culture, the suits worn by government and corporate representatives are a subtle reflection of scant will to discuss issues that affect women from their perspective. The presence of young women activists in this year's IGF from India, South Africa, Brazil and the Congo, tweeting and blogging with humour and enthusiasm about issues like security, freedom of speech, pornography, social rights and other IG issues presented at the forum, were a stark contrast to the presence of so many suit-clad, middle-aged men.

The Battle of the Sites - Headon's History ep 3
Broadcast: 26/09/2008
Reporter: David Headon
CATHERINE GARRETT: In recent months, David Headon has discussed some of the wonderful history behind Canberra's century birthday years. Tonight he continues his coverage of the battle of the sites as a new contender enters the fray. The contender, I suspect, you'll recognise.
DAVID HEADON: You'll remember that in my last Stateline segment, I discussed the audacious bid by the small southern NSW town of Dalgety to be the nation's capital city, to be the treasure house of a nation's heart. So aggressive was that bid that in August 1904 it resulted in a fully fledged act of the Australian Parliament, a Seat of Government Act.
But there were immediate problems. As you know, the Australian constitution stated that the capital had to be in NSW. Now, what that meant was the NSW Government had first to cede the land to the Commonwealth. In other words, the NSW parliamentarians had the whip hand. The NSW Government had a right of veto.
The NSW Premier during this key period of decision-making in 1904 and beyond was a single-minded and complex individual, Joseph - later Sir Joseph - Carruthers about whom we discovered a little last program.
The ink of the Governor-General's signature to the Dalgety Seat of Government Act had hardly had time to dry on the page than Carruthers made clear to the Prime Minister of the day, George Reid and his successor soon after - affable Alfred Deakin - that he was not happy.
For Carruthers, like most of his NSW government colleagues, Dalgety, on the same latitude as Nimmitabel and Thredbo, was so close to the state of Victoria that it might as well be in that state. And, decides, Dalgety was just too bloody cold.
The Dalgety option disappeared. Now, it would reappear briefly, and potently, in the final discussions of 1908. But with the benefit of hindsight, we can say that the Dalgety bid died on the parliamentary tables of Macquarie Street, Sydney in late 1904.
The self-interested parliamentarians in the NSW Legislative Assembly were only too well aware that the nation's new capital had to be at least 100 miles from Sydney, according of the constitutional requirement, but they didn't want it to be much further away. "at least 100 miles" was soon interpreted by many of the mother colonies, the mother states, more parochial and vociferous politicians as "about 100 miles". No more.
With characteristic bluntness, Joseph Carruthers wrote to the federal minister for home affairs, Dougal Thomson, on 11 April 1905, providing him with a list of Dalgety's, as he put it, more prominent disqualifications.
The NSW Government had vetoed the Federal Government's choice. Simple as that.
But it was distant Dalgety's sudden eclipse that signalled the beginning of more accessible and amenable Canberra's rise. But why? Why the Canberra region rather than, say, appropriately frosty Armidale, or chilly Orange, or even the more southerly and snowy hamlet of Tumut?
In the coming programs, I'll look at the collectively irresistible elements that made up the successful Canberra campaign. But tonight we look at the local story, that local passion that provided the sure and steady foundation for the Canberra bid.
It was the great fortune of the Canberra-Queanbeyan area, from the 1880s, 1890, and into the new century, to have as its NSW parliamentary representative one Edward William O'Sullivan.
O'Sullivan was the member for Queanbeyan for almost 20 years, from 1885 to 1904, during which time he played a productive community role, first in helping to educate the area's citizens about the benefits of a possible federation, and, secondly, as one of the first colonial public figures to push the Canberra region's suitability as the national capital site.
O'Sullivan - and make no mistake - was a great Australian and something of a renaissance man in his broad cultural interests. One of our country's earliest Republicans, he was also a supporter of the labour cause, an outspoken advocate of women's suffrage, a keen supporter of arts, especially women in the arts, a playwright of popular plays such as "The Eureka Stockade" and "Coo-ee". He was a novelist, a theatre lover, a sport lover and, above all, a serial founder of philanthropic organisations and promoter of worthy causes.
The Bushman's Bible, Sydney's renowned "Bulletin" magazine, always keen to lop the heads off society's tall poppies, couldn't help but admire O'Sullivan's civic devotion.
As one 'Bulletin' journalist wrote, "He has helped to run more newspapers, led more political agitations and delivered more democratic exhortations than any other man who ever looked upon the Southern Cross. He is the kind of man whom one would rather be fighting with than against."
With his unmistakable look of an ageing prize fighter, O'Sullivan's Queanbeyan constituents whole-heartedly agreed for they kept returning him as their member to the NSW part time after time.
When the cagey but impatient Henry Parkes ventured to the Queanbeyan electorate in 1887 to push his own candidate George Thompson against O'Sullivan, Parkes found himself heckled and jostled by a hostile, partisan crowd outside Queanbeyan's Protestant Hall, here on Crawford Street Queanbeyan and it's now the St Illia Macedonian Orthodox Church.
O'Sullivan loved the cut and thrust of an electoral campaign, invariably stirring things up at his favourite and the district's favourite gathering place or watering hole. The Cricketers Arms Hotel, built in 1864, was a lovely pub that was built just about where I am standing now. And to get your bearings, we are halfway down the Hall Road, now Victoria Street and this is where the pub stood.
It was known then as One Tree Hill, and it was the social gathering house for Ginninderra village. During an electoral campaign, O'Sullivan tried to time it with a race meeting. The racecourse was just through that stand of gums here. It was called the One Tree Hill races and if O'Sullivan could do it, he had his election campaign come down from Sydney and he had it right here in the Cricketers Arms Hotel. All his ardent followers loved it.
After each election victory, he ritually shouted the bar and was soon encouraged to deliver a rousing rendition, not unlike the Australian cricketers today after a Test victory, of his signature poem, "Advance Australia", with its stirring opening line: "Advance, advance Australia, and take thy destined stand" and concluding, "and shout, advance Australia, our own, our native land."
At evening's end, at the very social Cricketers Arms in July 1894, according to the "Goulburn Evening Penny Post", O'Sullivan treated his audience to a couple of excellent songs, after which he took his departure amid cheers.
When O'Sullivan became the Minister for Public Works in the NSW State Government in the Federation year of 1901, he was, according to his biographer, the most dynamic force in the Government ranks.
The Queanbeyan electorate admired him, and learned much from him. He, in turn, recognised their political acumen, once memorably referring to his politically engaged constituents as the free selectors, farmers and the intelligent democracy of Queanbeyan.
The region was switched on, so much so that when the NSW colonial Premier William Lyne - the generously bearded politician who featured in our last show - when Lyne in 1899 had the reputable President of the NSW Land Appeal Court, Alexander Oliver, head up a Royal Commission to analyse the claims of the scattered Federal Capital Leagues, nearly two full years before federation, it was no surprise that the Canberra-Queanbeyan area was raring to go.
Only months before the Lyne initiative, Edward O'Sullivan had written a letter to the editor of the "Queanbeyan Observer", addressed to his constituents in which he declared "there is a splendid chance of having the Federal capital in Goulburn or somewhere in the Queanbeyan electorate." Such a bold pronouncement struck a responsive chord with his readers.
O'Sullivan could always rely on a cluster of influential supporters in his electorate. Significant locals such as the man they called the Wizard, James Gillespie, a local sporting columnist and something of a campaign manager for O'Sullivan; prominent businessman and the mayor of Queanbeyan, John James Wright; and this man, John Gale, a colonial politician for a few short years in the late 1880s but far better known as an author and the editor of the first "Queanbeyan Golden Age", the "Queanbeyan Age" and the "Queanbeyan Observer".
This statue of Gale stands proudly on the corner of Lowe street and Monaro Street in Queanbeyan at the front of the courthouse. It flamboyantly declares him to be the "Father of Canberra". He wasn't but he undoubtedly played a creative facilitating role. For it was Gale who first encouraged O'Sullivan to stand for election in Queanbeyan. And it was Gale who immediately followed up O'Sullivan's success in the 1899 election with a plea to his "Observer" readers to reject what he termed "stultifying provincialism" in favour of a higher platform of united Australian nationhood.
And it was Gale, who, as editor of the Queanbeyan Observer, made strategic use of his newspaper to promote the claims of the Canberra-Queanbeyan area as the very best site for the nation's capital. As his biographer Susan Mary Withycombe wrote in the 2001 book Gale Force, Gale took the capital idea and ran with it, none harder.
So when Alexander Oliver brought his travelling Royal Commission road show to Queanbeyan for a public inquiry into national capital sites on 11th June 1900, a number of citizens came forward to provide him with evidence of the area's superior claim, among them journalist Theophiluss Cox (Theo Cox), farmer Sampson Southwell and grazier Frederick Campbell.
John Gale too took the opportunity to present his case, making particular mention of the claims for an area around, as it was put, the Canberra Church, by which he meant Saint John's Church now in heart of the capital site. Ever the capable propagandist, Gale also took the public opportunity to heap praise on the merits of his own award winning grapes and award winning honey.
The Oliver inquiry session in Queanbeyan in June of 1899 proved to be a dramatic catalyst for O'Sullivan's intelligent democracy.
Within months, they had begun to shape a compelling case for the area. On 17 October 1899, an enthusiastic public meeting was held, as it was stated then, "to ventilate our claims to have having the federal capital in our neighbourhood."
The meeting elected a working committee, chaired by the town mayor, Alderman William Pike, which included both O'Sullivan and Gale.
Gale took it upon himself in the pages of the Observer to heavily promote the issue throughout October and November 1899.
Notably, in one issue he provided specific detail on the unanimously preferred site of the working committee, and I quote, "the area of 10 miles square of which the Church of St John the Baptist on Canberra Plain forms at once the centre and the most desirable site for the capital city itself."
It's a pretty accurate description, you'd have to agree, of Canberra city today.
In mid-November 1899, the Observer noted that O'Sullivan had taken it upon himself to bring "under the notice of Mr Alexander Oliver the claims of Queanbeyan as a site for the federal Capital."
This early, determined and sophisticated push by the citizens of Queanbeyan-Canberra to host the nation's capital ensured that in the years after Federation as "The Battle of the Sites" raged, the region would always be prominent in discussion.
Carruthers and his Government disqualified Dalgety at the end of 1904. In the 18 months that followed, the NSW Premier went firmly on the front foot, committing his Government to investigating quality alternative sites. And he would not brook Commonwealth interference with his task. When Prime Minister Deakin in July 1905 ventured to taunt Carruthers with the resurrected corporation of Dalgety, Carruthers sent an outraged reply, calling this gesture "a breach of the mother state's good faith, and the honourable spirit of the constitution compact."
Incredibly, in the conclusion to his letter to Deakin of August 1905, Carruthers could even resort to the barely veiled yet time-honoured threat of secession:
"Until this question can be answered in the affirmative, there will be a grievance which will sorely strain the loyalty of this state to the union."
The belligerent Carruthers ultimately got his way, as we will discover in my next Stateline segment in October, sending the cream of the NSW Department of Public Works in search of sites. This particularly talented group of individuals, men at the height of their designed professions, soon interpreted the new policy as encouragement to look south, but not too far south.
Pretty soon, everyone wanted to sneak a peak at the fine southern sites around Yass, Queanbeyan, Canberra and Lake George.
The visits of the Federal politicians to the region sharply increased. Queanbeyan's Federal Capital Site Committee, reenergised and refreshed, quickly got their orientation package together to accommodate this sudden and welcome demand.
Arguably the turning point in this process was the winter months of July and August 1906, when Prime Minister Deakin, hitherto a Dalgety man by default, finally began to take notice of the new Canberra kid on the block. And, more importantly, it was during this period that the future capital secured its most influential supporter: Labor's first prime minister, the debonair and popular Chris Watson.
Watson had every reason to stick like glue to Dalgety. After all, the 1904 Seat of Government Act was the only substantial piece of Commonwealth legislation that his beleaguered minority government was able to get passed in its few short months in office. But once Watson came to Canberra, and saw Canberra, he was conquered.
On 15th August 1906, you'll notice that he got the year wrong at the top of the letter (we're all human) Watson wrote to Carruthers, alerting the NSW Premier to what he now regarded as the best possible national capital site. Some 36 senators and MHRs accepted Carruthers' invitation to inspect a range of southern sites in mid-August, including Mahkoolma, Lake George and Canberra.
And we will hear more about that in the next segment. According to one participant on this August 1906 visit, Canberra simply dazzled.
Watson was delighted, certain that Canberra was the most beautiful site. In the forthcoming two years, a majority of his parliamentary colleagues would agree with him. Canberra's charge, fuelled and fostered by a politically literate Monaro plains citizenry, had begun in earnest.
CATHERINE GARRETT: Jan Pritchard was the editor and co-producer on that story and David Headon will return soon with another episode.
That's the program for this week and in saying goodbye we also farewell Peter Leonard, who died earlier this week. Our condolences to his wife, Gwen and to his family. We're proud to honour ourselves among his many friends. Our tribute is a blend of his favourite place, Canberra, with some of his favourite music. Goodbye.

Correspondence of Isaac Newton by Sir Isaac Newton
Book DescriptionAs Newton had by now entered his eighth decade, it can be no surprise that the correspondence in this sixth volume shows a marked decline in his activity and intellectual vigour. While the number of extant letters written by him on other that Mint business is relatively small, the majority of them are devoted to his controversy with Leibniz - Newton's dominant interest during this period. The correspondence of Newton shades gradually into the correspondence of the Newtonians. Thus notably Keill, De Moivre, Chamberlayne, Brook Taylor, the Abbe Conti and Des Maizeaux interested themselves in the calculus dispute, all of them (except the first) having frequent opportunities for personal conversation with Newton.

Study: Mold Is Most Feared Risk
More than 75% of builders and real estate lenders have heard of a party backing out of a real estate transaction because of mold problems, according to a new poll conducted by the Environmental Assurance Group, West Hartford, Conn.
In addition, respondents familiar with mold-related incidents n commercial real estate transactions said it takes an average of $11 million to remediate a mold problem.
The survey of 40 real estate developers and banking executives was undertaken by EAG to assess mold's financial impact on the real estate market. As mold and related lawsuits have spread across the country, many builders and lenders are taking precautions to protect themselves from liability because of mold exclusions being written into insurance policies.
Charles Perry, principal of EAG and a member of the Mortgage Bankers Association mold task force, said the study confirms that "mold is costing big money.
"Since insurers fled the scene, liability claims have escalated and the devaluation of loan collateral has accelerated," Mr. Perry said in a press release.
He said mold could surpass asbestos and lead paint in its financial consequences for lenders and property developers.
More than half of the survey respondents said mold was the type of environmental contamination they feared the most in a real estate project.
Mr. Perry noted that mold has confounded property owners and developers because efforts at prevention have fallen short. And mold, in contrast to other hazards like asbestos and lead paint, can reappear just weeks after it has been scraped or sprayed away.
"For the lender, if a borrower defaults and you can't guarantee cleanup on the property, it greatly compromises your ability to get your money's worth out of the investment," he said.

Pam, Theresa,
This article is a must-read. I've been complaining about many of Bush's
deeds against the environment since he took office, but reading this article
gave me more background on why he is hell-bent on destroying the environment
and info on activities that weren't well reported.
I've sent thison to my niece who is a SPEA grad student. (Sch of Public &
Environmental Affairs) as well as others.
Once again, where is that emoticon for shaking your head in disgust?
Thanks for sending the URL. I will pass it on

Measurements of the crest height of raised beach ridge systems and elevated shorelines of the Ross Sea RegionEntry ID: K013_1981_1982_NZ_4
Abstract: Observations on coastal processes and geomorphic development were conducted at several beaches in the Ross Sea Region including Scott Island, Cape Adare, Possession Island, Markham Island, Inexpressible Island, Franklin Island, Beaufort Island, Cape Crozier, Cape Bird, Cape Royds, Cape Evans, New Harbour, Marble Point, Mowbray Bay, Terra Nova Bay, Granite Harbour and northwestern McMurdo Sound. At ... all beach sites (27 sites), data was collected on the height to which marine processes are currently active and where present the heights of raised beach ridges were surveyed. Heights were measured using an aneroid barometer which has a potential accuracy of plus or minus 1m. Vertical aerial photographs were obtained at the site of 6 major raised beach ridge complexes (Cape Adare, Cape Hallett, Possession Island, Foyn Island, Beaufort Island and Franklin Island) and used to make detailed landform maps and also mapping the penguin rookeries at these sites.

Universal Truckload Services (NASDAQ:UACL) is currently trading around $25.30. The following analysis supports our recommendation to buy and hold UACL now through the first week of August 2014 when we believe a price target of $31 will be achieved; a 23% increase from current levels.
Business Introduction:
Universal Truckload Services is an asset-light trucking company that derives its revenues from trucking transportation, as well as intermodal and value-added services. They operate throughout the US as well as the territories of Quebec and Ontario in Canada and Mexico. Trucking accounts for 70% of all transported goods on the North American Continent, and UACL is at the forefront of the slow and steady growth being experienced within the industry. Slow and steady is a key component of this analysis, as the predictable revenue streams and the value-add from acquisitions can be confidently modeled.
Many investors look to the trucking industry to forecast future economic growth. In 2013, US durable goods orders have shown a 5.65% increase and the American Trucking Association index (in terms of tonnage) increased for the first four months of the year. There has not been a four consecutive month increase since 2011. December usually contains trucking's most robust earnings so this uncharacteristic jump in tonnage transported early in the year grabbed our attention. We actually saw indication of this on the Ford (NYSE:F) conference call on Wednesday; and Ford happens to be a client of UACL. It's interesting what investors can glean when they examine this supplier/customer relationship.
The focal point of our analysis that gives us great confidence not only in the stability of UACL earnings but it's ability to grow and adapt at a rate superior to other trucking companies, was its acquisition of LINC in October 2012. LINC has been a leading provider of custom-developed third-party logistics solutions that help reduce costs and allow global supply chains to operate in a more efficient manner. CEO H.E. Wolfe and CFO David Crittenden, were both officers at LINC corporation and have extensive understanding and experience within the logistics and trucking Industry. Both have played an integral role in UACL's most recent quarter improvements and slight shift in strategy, which has been to further integrate and utilize the higher margin intermodal and value-added services that UACL now has to offer. Let us be clear on the importance of 'value-added services.' Trucking at its purest form is a capital intensive business. Value-added is non-trucking services that contribute to the overall shipping process; i.e.. Packaging, assembly, receiving, and tracking. Take a look at the competitor profile in this industry and where each specializes regarding asset intensity and transportation intensity. Chart provided courtesy of Universal from their Investor Presentation in 2012.
Value-added services is a specialty of LINC, and the reason for the acquisition. The combined company will have lower CapEx expenditures, higher free cash flow margins, and higher return on invested capital than UACL as a standalone.
The chart above depicts the seasonality of trucking quarter by quarter. Trucking services become under-utilized through the middle of the year, which is where UACL now has the strategic advantage through its acquisition of LINC of having the ability to benefit from those higher margin intermodal and value-added services that many other trucking companies do not have access to. We project that these services will aid in smoothing earnings, adding to the stability and growth abilities of the company.
Layman's Business Summary:
As mentioned earlier, the trucking industry accounts for 70% of tonnage transported throughout the U.S. With the economy improving and economic growth starting to increase at a gradual and realistic rate, the trucking industry will be at the forefront of these benefits to be derived from increased productivity, product development, and ultimately the transfer of goods.
To capitalize on this increase in the transfer of goods, investors should be looking for companies that operate within the trucking industry that have strategic and competitive advantages such as UACL that are not only able to generate revenues from trucking during the seasons that are inherently more busy in the transfer of goods than the others, but also be able to be profitable in the seasons where this transfer of goods is not quite as strong. Once again UACL is able to accomplish this task through their acquisition of LINC, which adds to their higher margin intermodal and value-added services.
What you need to know:
We currently estimate UACL's earnings per share to be $2.05 for the fiscal year 2014. Third quarter earnings announcement is expected any day this week or early next (July 25th-30th). Due to the lack of coverage by analysts of UACL because of the small market cap ($750 million), the stock has surprised investors six out of the past 8 quarters. The opportunity for purchase is this week. If UACL management uses this announcement to warn about trouble with the acquisition integration that is an even better buying opportunity. The potential upside is $31 when investors realize the true value of the new UACL by early next year.

We have the first on-set photos from filming Into the Woods yesterday, September 25th, at Dover castle in the UK. You can see Anna as Cinderella, along with Emily Blunt, Chris Pine, and Christine Baranski.
The majority of the ensemble from Disney's forthcoming big screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's celebrated family-friendly fairy tale-themed musical INTO THE WOODS convened at Dover Castle in the UK today to film scenes for the forthcoming tuner and our first look at James Corden, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Billy Magnussen, Tracey Ullman, Christine Baranski, Lucy Punch, MacKenzie Mauzy and Daniel Huttlestone in costume is now available!
BroadwayWorld reported earlier this month that a casting notice had gone out to assemble extras to take on the roles of townspeople and observers at a grand ball scene assumedly relating to Cinderella (Kendrick) and her prince (Pine) and now we can see that that has come to fruition. Check out that article here.
Additionally, peruse yesterday's extensive BroadwayWorld article all about Week 3 of filming on INTO THE WOODS here.
Also, James Corden found some time in between filming scenes to even pose for a shot with a crew member, make-up artist Beth Haggar, who posted the pic to her Instagram account with the caption, "Me and #JamesCorden today at Dover Castle, filming on location for a new film called #IntoTheWoods."
View the original post here.
Of note, the sumptuous costumes on display in these shots are designed by director Rob Marshall's longtime collaborator Colleen Atwood, who also provided designs for his movie musicals CHICAGO and NINE, as well as Tim Burton's SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET.
Filming on the Rob Marshall-directed Disney feature film is currently underway on soundstages at Shepperton Studios and on location in the UK, following soundtrack recording sessions conducted at the beginning of this month. For even more information, see BroadwayWorld's coverage of Week 1 here.
The confirmed complete cast for INTO THE WOODS is as follows: Meryl Streep as The Witch, James Corden as The Baker, Emily Blunt as The Baker's Wife, Johnny Depp as The Wolf, Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Chris Pine as Cinderella's Prince, Billy Magnussen as Rapunzel's Prince, Mackenzie Mauzy as Rapunzel, Lucy Punch as Lucinda, Tammy Blanchard as Florinda, Christine Baranski as Cinderella's Stepmother and Tracey Ullman as Jack's Mother, with Lilla Crawford as Little Red Riding Hood and Daniel Huttlestone as Jack.
INTO THE WOODS is set to be released on December 25, 2014. {broadwayworld.com}
Anna attended Temperley London at London Fashion Week SS14 on September 15th. She wore a floral dress and seemed to be having a great time cracking up with Paloma Faith, Pixie Lott, and Peaches Geldof.
Appearances in 2013 > September 15: London Fashion Week SS14 – Temperley London
Anna Kendrick is currently filming Into the Woods in London, which is great news for Julien Macdonald, Alice Temperley and Vivienne Westwood, because she's found time to attend their shows. (It's also good news for straight-talking London cabbies, who she's quoted once or twice on Twitter.) When we caught her in the front row on Sunday afternoon, she was wearing a matching Temperley embroidered blouse and skirt, and asked us to snap a picture of her with co-star Mackenzie Mauzy, who plays Rapunzel in the movie. The pair had sneaked off to the show between work commitments.
"I'm trying to work it all around my schedule, so after Julien Macdonald yesterday I went in and was recording songs," said Kendrick. "It's very, very fun because I get to be like a working woman – like, 'I work hard and play hard', kind of thing. I don't get to feel that very often, because mostly I'm at home in sweatpants."
But playing hard, it seems, just means going to shows. She's not planning to attend any fashion week parties, or anything crazy like that. "Tomorrow we may be going to a low-key dinner thing… but it all gets a bit much," she told us, scrunching up her nose. "Last night after I recorded, the princes in our film [Chris Pine and Billy Magnussen] were trying to get me to go out. I was like, I don't know how you boys get the stamina, but I can't handle it." {nymag.com}
Anna Kendrick Tells Us Why She Loves London At Fashion Week
Academy Award winner Anna Kendrick has touched down in London for her annual fashion fix. The Pitch Perfect star looked fabulous in Julien MacDonald at the designer's show on Saturday night. At MacDonald perched on the FROW next to Pixie Lott in a racey black number and then this afternoon she was back on the FROW again in a princess dress at Temperley.
Anna Kendrick looked picture-perfect on the front row but Anna revealed to us that her look was put together at the very last second. 'This was a last minute replacement but that's always the way' she said, before adding 'you love something and then they send one last thing and it fits perfectly and feels really great.' Mega kudos to Miss Kendrick for being so calm and collected amidst the chaso of fashion week. But she said to us she doesn't get flustered by a change in plan as she revealed 'My Oscars dress was a last minute change so I feel like now it's part of the course.'
When we asked her what the best thing about fashion week is she quickly replied 'being able to observe an art form that I don't know that much about, but it is such an instinctual thing or a visceral thing if you react to it or not. It's like going to a museum but getting to sit still.' Well, we've never head anyone compare the FROW with the Natural History Museum before, but we kinda get where she's coming from.
And speaking of all things cultural, we just had to ask – how do London girls compare to their New York counterparts? 'I always feel that sense of glamour and history in everything in London' Anna told us. 'That might be my American personality projecting what I want to see in London fashion. I always appreciate the care and detail that goes into London fashion. I have a certain affection for London fashion.'
Anna is currently filming in London and says although she feels like this is her temporary home, she still loves playing the tourist. 'Oh god I do the most cliché things in London,' she told us. 'I go to high tea because I think it's so darling. That's so annoying isn't it, such a typical tourist thing to do.' Anna, we'll go for high tea with you anytime.' {graziadaily.co.uk}
Anna attended the Julien Macdonald show at London Fashion Week today, September 14th, at Goldsmith's Hall. She looked flawless in a black crocheted dress and heels. Other stars that attended include Paloma Faith and Kelly Osborne. Anna has been in London for the past few weeks filming Into the Woods.

Appearances & Events > Appearances in 2013 > Sept 13: London Fashion Week SS14 – Julien Macdonald
Sitting FROW at fashion week has become a rite of passage for celebrities of every ilk. Saturday was actress Anna Kendrick's first time at London Fashion Week.
Though her characters in "Up in the Air" and "Pitch Perfect" could never be described as fashion-forward (Aca-awkward), Ms. Kendrick was looking red-carpet ready at the Julien Macdonald show at the gilded Goldsmiths' Hall.
"I'm just looking forward to the detail and the work Julien puts into his clothes," she said before the show got underway. "I mean, just this [dress] alone, I can't stop touching it. This was kind of a last-minute replacement. They sent it over and it fit like a glove. And, you know, I can't stop playing with the beading on it because it's just so elaborate and stunning — it's beautiful. And this space is so incredible, you know it's going to be something really opulent."
And that's exactly what it was. Designer Julien Macdonald, currently starring in "Strictly Come Dancing," sent down the runway a collection of glamorous beaded gowns that would be at home on any ballroom floor. Just be careful when you cha-cha-cha; there were a few near misses as the models' slinky high-heels got caught up in their dresses. {wsj.com}
I've added over 300 HD screencaps of Anna in The Company You Keep, which was released last year. The movie is about a group of radical activists from the 70's who are now grown up with families, and starting to get tracked down for the crimes they committed. Anna plays Diana, a dedicated FBI worker who helps try and track down the criminals, and is also linked to a reporter (Shia Lebeauf) on the same trail. Anna's scenes are small and mainly in the beginning, but she delivers her few lines with the wit and cynicism we've come to love.

FHA Seeks Wider Authority to Push Bad Mortgages Back to Lenders
Congress should give the Federal Housing Administration more power to adjust fees and recoup losses on bad loans, Commissioner David Stevens said.
In testimony prepared for a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee today, Stevens said the FHA currently has authority to go after some large-volume lenders to recoup losses on loans that were fraudulently or improperly originated. That power should be extended to all mortgages the agency insures, Stevens said.
The FHA, which now insures more than a third of new mortgages, won congressional approval last year to raise premiums as its mortgage insurance reserves fell to their lowest level on record. The agency said Feb. 14 that it would increase annual premiums by 25 basis points beginning April 18.
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan "and I remain committed to comprehensive FHA reform legislation that enhances FHA's lender enforcement capabilities and risk management efforts," Stevens said. "And we hope Congress will pass comprehensive FHA legislation as quickly as possible."
Loans the agency insured before 2009 account for 70 percent of its projected losses on single-family mortgages. The quality of loans the FHA is now insuring has improved, Stevens said. FHA's seasonally adjusted 90-day delinquency rate was 5.8 percent in December, compared with 7.45 percent a year earlier, he said.
To reduce its footprint in the mortgage market, FHA may consider increasing the size of the down payments it requires on all the loans it insures, Stevens said. The agency in October raised the size of down payments it requires for borrowers with weak credit.
"In considering how to apply such options, FHA will continue to balance the need to prudently manage the risk to FHA and the borrower with its efforts to ensure access to affordable loans for lower and middle income Americans," he said.

Doug Casey has been helping individual investors make smart moves with their money for more than 40 years.
Doug is a multimillionaire businessman and bestselling author who has visited more than 145 countries, invested in hundreds of business deals, and today owns more than 100,000 acres of land on three continents.
Along the way, Doug has analyzed and owned nearly every type of investment you can think of: real estate, bonds, currencies, commodities, stocks, and gold are just a few of the vehicles Doug has used to increase his wealth.
But of all the strategies Doug Casey has used, one stands head and shoulders above the rest for making huge returns in the market. It's a strategy that helped him become very rich. Best of all, you can put it to work soon for your personal benefit.
After learning about this strategy, it's likely that "conventional" investing will no longer hold any interest for you.
You'll see why you don't have to wait a decade to make huge, 100%+ returns in stocks...when you can make those gains in just a year.
Here's how the strategy works…and how you can start using it immediately.
Most investors know the formula for market success is to "buy low and sell high."
However, most people struggle in the market. They go years without making money for a simple reason: they don't follow a systematic, proven strategy.
For more than 40 years, Doug Casey has followed such a strategy… and it has made him one of America's richest people. It has earned him a wide following in the investment community.
Doug's strategy is simple: Only buy assets during times of crisis… when you can get them for incredible discounts to their intrinsic values.
When you buy an asset at a 75% discount to its real worth, it can triple in value and still be down 25% from its high!
Doug even wrote a book about his approach: Crisis Investing. It was a runaway hit that spent weeks at #1 on the New York Times Best Sellers list.
For these reasons, many people see Doug as the "king" of crisis investing.
And it's why the groundbreaking work of an independent researcher has made big waves among the world's top investors…
Meb Faber is a friend of Casey Research. He's a brilliant researcher and one of the few truly original thinkers in finance.
Recently, Meb published a study about one of the most valuable ideas in finance – reversion to the mean.
Most every investor knows that nothing goes up forever.
Sooner or later, even the mightiest bull markets get old and overvalued. Eventually, "gravity" causes the market's momentum to slow, and then to reverse.
And when the market "reverts to the mean," stocks plummet.
Every investor who lived through the 1987 market crash, Russia's 1998 default, the Nasdaq decline of 2000-2002, or the mortgage meltdown of 2008 knows that every five to 10 years, something goes horribly wrong in the market.
It's common sense.
Trees don't grow to the sky. Sooner or later, every market "reverts to the mean."
Meb's idea is based on this.
Just like stocks don't go up forever, they don't go down forever, either.
Sooner or later, every bear market forms a bottom. Sooner or later, the last person left to sell actually sells. A market sinks to such an amazing level of value that investors pile in and send share prices higher.
With this in mind, Meb studied both whole countries (with an investable stock market) and asset classes (types of investments) to determine if they showed any patterns.
What he found is amazing…and proof that
crisis investing can make you rich.
Meb studied five major stock markets' data from 1903 until 2007.
He wanted to know what stock prices did on average in these markets after falling for three consecutive years.
Meb discovered that major stock markets rarely fall three years in a row. Three consecutive years of lower prices almost never happened – those instances occurred less than 3% of the time.
But when markets did fall three years in a row, the following bull market was extremely powerful.
The average return in stocks during the fourth year was more than 30%.
That's an incredible result, something that wouldn't happen by chance. This big move higher is caused by reversion to the mean, not chance.
When Meb studied asset classes, he found similar numbers.
After three years in a row of falling stock prices, the average return in the fourth year was 34%, almost three times higher than the average return of all the years in the study.
Again, statistical analysis tells us these are significant results, not just chance.
They're proof of mean reversion in stock prices. Buying assets that are down three years in a row is a powerful market strategy.
And Meb found a way to make the results even better…
Meb also researched the idea that mean reversion would lead to even more powerful stock rallies when the previous destruction of value was the greatest.
He studied countries with stock markets that declined by 80% or more.
On average, these countries saw their indexes rebound by nearly 120% in the three years that followed.
And that's not all...
Meb found the same type of huge rebounds in different industry groups, too.
He studied U.S. industry groups going back to the 1920s.
When a U.S. industry group fell by 80% or more from a peak, the average return three years later was more than 170%.
These statistics are amazing…and proof that investing in depressed markets leads to gigantic returns.
It's common sense really.
When investors get extremely frustrated with an asset class, they abandon it. Prices decline to absurdly cheap levels. And just like the cycle of day and night, extreme bear market turns into extreme bull market.
Hundreds of percent gains follow.
