In the last two months, at least nine senior care facilities in Volusia and Flagler counties have been purchased by new investors, most national in scope but also a local group.
Add senior care facilities to the list of current hot commercial investment properties locally, along with apartments, discount retail and drug stores.
In the last two months, at least nine senior care facilities in Volusia and Flagler counties have been purchased by new investors, most national in scope but also a local group.
Sale prices have ranged from a high of $17 million to nearly $4.5 million.
"There is a concentration in Florida of a senior housing audience with the large number of retirees. Many of the buildings are older and not many new ones are being built," said Christina Firth, a spokeswoman for Formation Capital, an Alpharetta, Ga.-based investment firm that specializes in health care real estate and recently purchased nursing homes in Daytona Beach and Ormond Beach. "There may have been some companies that also wanted to beat the end-of-year tax liabilities."
The recent flood gates opened in early December with Argent Properties in White Plains, N.Y. buying five senior care facilities for more than a combined $42.3 million.
The Argent facilities include Oakwood Garden of DeLand, a 122-bed nursing home purchased for $6.68 million; DeBary Manor, a 120-bed nursing home purchased for $9.6 million; and Manor on the Green, a 192-bed nursing home in Daytona Beach bought for $6.75 million. Coastal Health and Rehabilitation Center, a 120-bed center in Daytona Beach purchased for $10.25 million, and Flagler Pines, a 120-bed nursing and rehabilitation center in Bunnell bought for $9 million, were also included.
Health Care REIT of Toledo, Ohio sold the five properties. The real estate investment trust paid $35.3 million in 2004 for the facilities, making a $7 million profit in eight years with the sale.
Facility residents will not see much of a change. Gulf Coast Health Care in Pensacola will continue to manage the five facilities as it had under the previous owner, said Jamey Richardson, vice president of operations for Gulf Coast Health Care.
"There's a demand out there and it's strong, but I thought it would be the opposite with Obama care paying less," said Claude Gardner, managing director for Prudential Commercial Real Estate FL in Daytona Beach about the reduction in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. "I'm not sure why the demand (is so high). Maybe it's the guarantee that comes with it. It might be smaller, but it's a guarantee and investors are taking hard looks at their returns."
Also in December, New York City-based American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust paid $17 million to Principal Senior Living for Benton Village of Palm Coast, an 80-bed independent and assisted living facility in Palm Coast that Principal Senior Living built in 2007.
"We all know about the aging of America and as the age elongates, there will be a demand in health care, including senior housing," said Todd Jensen, chief investment officer for American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust. "In the Daytona Beach area, there was rapid growth in the boom days and the demographics show this as a good investment."
Jensen also noted that Benton Village of Palm Coast has land on which to grow and that without many new senior care facilities having been built in recent years, occupancy rates at existing facilities have improved and should continue as millions of Baby Boomers retire.
American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust bought five of Principal Senior Living properties in a package deal, including the Palm Coast center, said Kyle Diekmann, a co-founder and partner at Principal Senior Living, which is based in Alpharetta, Ga.
"The sale was a business strategy," he said. "They are popular investments, particularly because they performed so well through the recession, outperforming apartments and shopping centers."
Principal Senior Living will continue to manage the 12-acre Palm Coast center, spokesperson Jessica Miller said.
Formation Capital also entered the local market in December. The Alpharetta, Ga. investment management firm focused on senior housing and care purchased the Coquina Center in Ormond Beach for $11.65 million and the Bridgeview Center in Daytona Beach for $5.04 million.
Both are nursing homes that were sold by GE Capital in Chicago, doing business as Diamond Senior Living II LLC. GE Capital bought the two nursing centers in 2004 for a combined $5.72 million, making almost $11 million profit on the sale.
Coquina Center is licensed for 120 beds while Bridgeview Center is licensed for 139 beds.
Earlier this month, Paul Holub Jr. of Holub Development in Ormond Beach, sold Golden Abbey Ormond Beach for $4.475 million. Holub bought the 55-bed licensed independent and assisted living facility in 2008 for $2.37 million.
The new buyer, Ormond Investors Group LLC, is managed by Port Orange residents Samuel Lavarias, Imelda Lavarias and Manuel Saldon, who state licensing records list as administrator of Golden Abbey Ormond Beach.
The trio also are partners in the Golden Abbey facility on Golfview Drive in Daytona Beach.
"Volusia County has a high percentage of seniors, older then 75, and it will grow with the retiring Baby Boomers," said physician Steven Katz, who leads the health care practice acquisition and advisory department at Charles Wayne Properties, a Daytona Beach-based commercial real estate firm. "Some companies are positioning themselves to take advantage of that."
One reason some investors may be selling now, despite an aging population, is the decline in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. With shrinking profit margins, smaller and less efficient companies could be selling to larger investment companies with deeper pockets who are able to trim costs, Katz said.
"The old model is changing, and with the economy having gotten tighter, people are less willing to pay the difference (between government and insurance reimbursements and costs). So that creates more moderate priced facilities and some can't make the change and are selling."

As a youth, I was involved in Boy Scouts and like many I have met, dropped out as a Life Scout and never went after Eagle. Today, I count that as one of the few big mistakes I made growing up. A few years ago, I married a woman whose son was in Cub Scouts. She was his den mother but I help out quite a bit. When he became a Webelos II, I really took notice that there was not a Boy Scout troop in our area. So many youth from the Pack either had to travel a fair distance to stay in scouting or they just dropped out. After a few telephone calls, it was decided to start a troop in our town. I decided to become the Scoutmaster and the troop was started in March of 2006. This year my stepson decided to drop out of scouting, but I continued to work with the troop. Fortunately, he is now reconsidering his choice and may come back. His decision was entirely based on the "not cool" factor of his friends. I have talked with him about my commitment to the troop, the enjoyment that I received from scouting and why I was staying. I hope that he decides to come back.

This morning I read, "The Digital Promise: Transforming Learning with Innovative Uses of Technology" by Jeanne Wellings and Michael H. Levine–a white paper that I highly recommend reading if you are looking for rationale to support the integration of technology and edtech PD within your school.
To summarize, the article points out that when technology is skillfully integrated into school curricula, the benefits are many:
- Technology supports student achievement. (ISTE 2008)
- Technology builds 21st century skills. (ISTE 2008)
- Technology engages students in learning and content creation. (America's Digital Schools, 2006)
- Technology increases access to education, virtual communities, and expertise. (ISTE 2008)
- Technology fosters inclusion. (Apple Inc. 2009)
- Technology helps prevent dropouts. (Smink & Reimer, 2005)
- Technology facilitates differentiated instruction. (Apple Inc. 2009)
- Technology empowers learning and research in critical STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields. (CEO Forum, 2001)
- Technology strengthens career and technical education. (Apple Inc. 2009)
And, if that is not enough to make you want to brush up your school technology plan, think about this and ask yourself how comfortable you are with media:
A Kaiser Family Foundation study, "Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8-18 Year Olds," confirms the immersion of American children in contemporary media. The average child spends over six and a half hours per day engaged with various types of media, television, movies, music, electronic games, and computers. Over one week this equates to a full-time job with a few hours of overtime (Rideout, Roberts, and Foehr, 2005).
Wow! To find specific examples of resources and innovative things you can do as an educator to promote student learning via creative and engaging uses of technology, check out the blue call-out boxes throughout the report!
For more practical and easy-to-read research on the impact of technology and digital media on children's learning, visit the Joan Ganz Conney Center. You won't be disappointed!

I had some parcels to pick up today. Due to rain earlier in the day, and having baskets to make, I didn't end up getting around to going out for for the parcels until it was getting a bit uncomfortably close to 5pm when the depot shuts.
The depot is just 4.5 km (3 miles) away, but I'd left myself short of time so I had to ride flat out to get there on time. I rode the Xtracycle so that I'd be able to move the weighty parcels. 90% of the distance is on the excellent four metre wide cycle path in the photo, which unlike the road offers a completely uninterrupted route on which your speed is limited by your ability, not traffic, nor the four sets of traffic lights and one roundabout I'd have had to go through if I'd ridden on the road or gone by car.
The cycle path was fairly busy and I joined it a few metres ahead of an elderly gentleman on a traditional opafiets. With help from a tailwind, I soon had the Xtracycle going at 35 km/h (22 mph) and rode along for a bit before glancing behind before I overtook someone, and... there was "Grandad" ! At a guess, he was around 70 years old. He was just a few centimetres away and perfectly positioned to get maximum aerodynamic benefit from sitting in the considerable wind shadow of my cargobike.
A quick guy still, and skilled on the bike. He probably used to race. Maybe he still does. Something I noticed on moving here is that a lot of people are fast, and you can't necessarily tell from appearances who the fast ones are. Moving here, to a city with slightly over half the population of the one we came from in the UK, but at the same time a city with so many more cyclists, gave me that feeling of going from being a big fish in a small pond to a small fish in a big pond.
People in other countries, particularly the English speaking countries where there are few cyclists, often make an incorrect assumption that Dutch cyclists are slow based simply on an idea that the millions of utility bicycles here are slow bikes. While the everyday bikes may not be the fastest bikes in the world, they are efficient enough to travel at pretty good speeds given a good set of legs pedalling them.
Until you enter the realm of extreme aerodynamics, the speed of a cyclist is limited far more by muscle power than it is by the bicycle. Muscles used for cycling get stronger as a result of cycling a lot. The Dutch cycle more than people of any other nation. There is no Clif Bar 2 mile challenge here.
It's not just utility cycling, of course. Sport cycling is also much more popular here than in most countries. Many, many high specification sport bicycles are sold, and bicycle paths like that pictured go in virtually every direction. These provide a great place to train. What's more, cycle racing circuits are also common in many places, including here in Assen.
You can see the result of the popularity of sport cycling in the country's results in the Tour de France. No fewer than 61 Dutch cyclists have won stages in the Tour, vs. 10 Americans, 8 Australians and 6 Englishmen. Not a bad tally for 16M Dutch people vs. 380M from elsewhere.
There are several major sport cycling events in this area this year, including the start of the Vuelta a Espana, which starts in Assen this year and the Jeugdtour - the world's biggest youth cycle racing event, the Triathlon, the Erik Dekker Classic etc.

Racing against Grandad
3 comments:
- Nick said...
Hmm, quite so. When I first came to live in NL I used to find it really depressing whenever I was passed by some elderly lady on an omafiets, which was disconcertingly often. But after a while you get used to it (and these days I'm a bit quicker too).
- 20 January 2009 at 09:32
Worrying isn't it? I keep having to work hard to catch old guys too. Sometimes downhill.
- 20 January 2009 at 12:50
I have always contended that anyone who states flatly that "the Dutch ride more slowly than we do in this country" has never actually ridden on a Dutch cycle path outside of teh city. Unless you're Cat 1 and at the top of your game, someone's going to pass you, and even then, you may have a hard time hanging with the local race team out for a training ride. Val

New York Yankees: Jorge Posada Shares Thoughts on Shifting Role, We TranslateJanuary 31, 2011
Is anybody else convinced that Jorge Posada is so not on board with this full-time DH thing?
Po's been the Yankees' resident lovable curmudgeon for 15 years. He's not exactly the personality type that embraces change. And nothing good can come from change when you're a 39 year old catcher.
I wouldn't be surprised if Clint Eastwood modeled his character in Gran Torino after the salty Yankees veteran. Walt Kowalski was a gruff, stubborn old man who wouldn't hesitate to shoot you with a rifle if you messed with him or his car; the same probably applies to Posada and his catching position.
(That ringing you hear is Jesus Montero calling Brian Cashman to make sure he's staying in the minors in 2011.)
Posada spoke about the shift to DH for the first time on Sunday night at a Bernie Williams event, where I presume the former center fielder busted out some soccer mom-approved guitar licks.
God love him, Po tried so hard to be the good soldier during his brief media chat, but what he said definitely didn't sound like what he meant.
Luckily, River & Sunset has the gift for decoding such jock speak.
All initial quotes come via the Daily News.
What Georgie said:
"I can't complain. I always like to catch, I'm used to catching, but if they want me to DH to help out the team, you have to do that. It is what it is. I look forward to everything I do. I try to help out the team, and if that's going to help out the team and that's what they want, I'm OK with it."
What Georgie meant:
"I can't complain. Literally, I can't complain. I'm a 39 year old professional baseball player. Have you noticed what GMs think of guys my age now? We're dinosaurs staring down a fiery meteor. I'm used to catching, because I'm a man, and men don't DH. Jose Canseco is a DH. Jorge Posada is a man. I'm not OK with it."
What Georgie said:
"I'll catch. I'll catch. I'll catch this year. I'll DH and then they're going to want me to catch one of those days. I'm keeping an open mind. I would love to catch. I'm training like I always do, and if I have to catch, I'll catch."
What Georgie meant:
"I'll catch. I'll catch. I'll catch this year. If I have to do Girardi's laundry, cook his lunch, pay his orthodontist bill, I'll do it. I'll do anything, you hear me? I'm keeping an open mind, and by "open mind," I mean a closed mind. I'm training like I always do, but that's mostly because I have to stay cut up for Laura, my insanely hot wife. I'll catch. I'll catch. I'll catch. I'll catch. I'll catch."
What Georgie said:
"Derek's a shortstop and Derek's not going to move to another position. He hasn't even started playing this year and you're talking about four years from now. You can't see the future."
What Georgie meant:
"Have you seen Jeter's new house? They're calling it Jetropolis. Well, no they're not, but I am. The place is insane. You can mark my words: If he invites me, I'll never leave. I'll show up with Laura and the kids and we'll just bunker down like Cousin Eddie from the Vacation movies. The place is so big he won't even know we're there...but seriously, I don't want to be the DH."

Rastersoft CD-i demo video
>> Saturday, July 9, 2005
In this post I collect the videos I make of the homebrew CD-i projects. For now, we only have one homebrew project on CD-i: Frog Feast. Recently the creator of Frog Feast posted a demo of the upcoming CD-i game, our test results are posted below.
July 9th: This is a test video about the Chaos89 CD-i demo which was made in June 2007 by Rastersoft, the creators of Frog Feast. I used a CD-i 490, which you can see in the video. After starting the CD-i, the Chaos89 intro is loaded with a turning text on screen. That's the only thing available. You know what this means? New CD-i programming in 2007!
July 14th: This is the first demo fully playable: Our conclusion: It plays perfect! No slowdown, it's as fast as the other versions, the loading times are short. No complains here. Tested on a CD-i 490/00 player. Just excuse me for the terrible video quality, my camera had some troubles following the television screen ;)
rdjnl also tested the demo with the following remarks:
1 If you let the frog jump to the left, from the leaf on the left, then the frog 'moves outside the screen'. Does this have to do with differences between PAL/NTSC and/or 3:4/16:9 ?
2 It seems that it is impossible to pause/end a game, and to exit the disc.
3 The game over screen in two player mode shows a dark green computer frog.
Thanks to Charles Doty

Through Oil-fouled Water, Big Government Looks Better and Better
- May 17 2010 | 12:05 pm
By Dana Milbank
The Washington Post, May 4, 2010
There is something exquisite about the moment when a conservative decides he needs more government in his life.
About 10:30 Monday morning, Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), an ardent foe of big government, posted a blog item on his campaign Web site about the huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. "I strongly believe BP is spread too thin," he wrote.
The poor dears. He thinks it would be a better arrangement if "federal and state officials" would do the dirty work of "protecting and cleaning up the coast" instead of BP.
About an hour later came word from the Pentagon that Alabama, Florida and Mississippi -- all three governed by men who once considered themselves limited-government conservatives -- want the federal government to mobilize (at taxpayer expense, of course) more National Guard troops to aid in the cleanup.
That followed an earlier request by the small-government governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal (R), who issued a statement saying he had called the Obama administration "to outline the state's needs" and to ask "for additional resources." Said Jindal: "These resources are critical."
About the time that Alabama, Florida and Mississippi were asking for more federal help, three small-government Republican senators, Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions of Alabama and George LeMieux of Florida, were flying over the gulf on a U.S. government aircraft with small-government Republican Rep. Jeff Miller (Fla.).
"We're here to send the message that we're going to do everything we can from a federal level to mitigate this," Sessions said after the flight, "to protect the people and make sure when people are damaged that they're made whole."
Sessions, probably the Senate's most ardent supporter of tort reform, found himself extolling the virtues of litigation -- against BP. "They're not limited in liability on damage, so if you've suffered a damage, they are the responsible party," said Sessions, sounding very much like the trial lawyers he usually maligns.
All these limited-government guys expressed their belief that the British oil company would ultimately cover all the costs of the cleanup. "They're not too big to fail," Sessions said. "If they can't pay and they've given it everything they've got, then they should cease to exist." But if you believe that the federal government won't be on the hook for a major part of the costs, perhaps you'd like to buy a leaky oil well in the Gulf of Mexico.
It may have taken an ecological disaster, but the gulf-state conservatives' newfound respect for the powers and purse of the federal government is a timely reminder for them. As conservatives in Washington complain about excessive federal spending, the ones who would suffer the most from spending cuts are their own constituents.
An analysis of data from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation by Washington Post database specialist Dan Keating found that people in states that voted Republican were by far the biggest beneficiaries of federal spending. In states that voted strongly Republican, people received an average of $1.50 back from the federal government for every dollar they paid in federal taxes. In moderately Republican states, the amount was $1.19. In moderately Democratic states, people received on average of 99 cents in federal funds for each dollar they paid in taxes. In strongly Democratic states, people got back just 86 cents on the tax dollar.
If Sessions and Shelby succeed in shrinking government, their constituents in Alabama will be some of the biggest losers: They get $1.66 in federal benefits for every $1 they pay in taxes. If Louisiana's Vitter succeeds in shrinking government, his constituents will lose some of the $1.78 in federal benefits they receive for every dollar in taxes they pay. In Mississippi, it's $2.02.
That may explain why, as the oil slick hits the Gulf Coast, lawmakers from the region are willing to swallow their limited-government principles as they dangle federal aid before their constituents. Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) said he would "make sure the federal government is poised to assist in every way necessary." His colleague Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) said he is making sure "the federal government is doing all it can" -- even as he added his hope that "industry" would pay.
President Obama tried to remind the government-is-the-enemy crowd of this situation in a speech on Saturday. "Government is the police officers who are protecting our communities, and the servicemen and -women who are defending us abroad," he said. "Government is the roads you drove in on and the speed limits that kept you safe. Government is what ensures that mines adhere to safety standards and that oil spills are cleaned up by the companies that caused them."
For the moment, some of the conservatives have new appreciation for governmental powers. "We're going to have the oil industry folks, the BP folks, in front of us on the Commerce Committee," Florida's LeMieux vowed in the news conference Monday. "We're going to talk about these drilling issues."
But not before the taxpayer sends some more big-government money down to the small-government politicians of the gulf.

It's the last day of #blogjune so I'm wrapping up with a quick review of the first week experience with My Food Bag.
The week we ate...
Day 1: Fish Sliders with apple slaw
Day 2: Jamaican jerk chicken with coconut rice and mango salsa
Day 3: Steak, chickpea and tomato salad with Harissa yoghurt dressing with garlic bread
Day 4: Jazzed up spaghetti bolognaise
Day 5: Butternut and ricotta canelloni with garden salad
All the recipes were easy to follow and mostly were completed and on the table in 30 minutes - some were a bit longer due to me mucking around doing other things at the same time or they required a bit more fiddling e.g. filling canelloni tubes.
The ingredients were fresh and sufficient quantity for our family. The only time I had leftovers was the spaghetti bolognaise and the chick pea salad.
The favourites this week were the fish sliders and the steak salad.
The meat was good quality and tasty.
Most ingredients supplied were organic or free range.
The ease of not having to think about the questions "what's for dinner" and "what do I need to shop for this week" was a big relief for me. I know that sounds pathetic but what I feed my family and being able to enjoy cooking is something that is significant for me so this option helps lower my stress levels.
Was there anything I didn't like? Not really - the only comment I would make is that the fish (gurnard) is on the Forest and Bird's fish guide "orange zone" but given the paucity of options of fish in the "green zone" there has to be some lee way given.
This is what we're having this week. It all looks pretty good to me, though the pumpkin and kumara offerings will be a challenge for Mr9 who doesn't like those vegetables much. The delivery man came in good time.
Unpacking the bags is quite exciting :-)

Systemic Approach In Teaching and Learning Chemistry (SATLC)Idea by M. Akhyar Farrukh | added on Dec 01, 2009 07:34AM Suggestion
Systemic approach is the arrangement and recognition of concepts i.e. how one concept or issue is related and linked with other concepts or issues in a system while teaching and learning chemistry. Systemic approach is a structured way while linear approach is un-structured way for delivering knowledge.
There are two ways for delivering knowledge 1. Linear approach and 2. Systemic approach. Systemic approach is the arrangement and recognition of concepts i.e. how one concept is related and linked with other in a system while teaching chemistry. There is no such relation in linear approach so it makes difficulty for students in understanding Chemistry. In other words systemic approach is a structured way of teaching and learning while linear approach is un-structured way for delivering knowledge. Most of the teachers around the globe follow the linear approach because of having less or no information about the advanced teaching methods (systemic approach).
The purpose of this idea is to introduce this teaching method around the globe, provide teaching models to teachers in all major field of chemistry, attracting students towards Chemistry, build relationship between all fields, solve problems systemically not only in Chemistry but also in daily life, produce research oriented scholars. Some times it is very hard to teach "Physical Chemistry" and students feel it is a boring subject but by using SATLC we can attract students towards this field, which is mother of all other fields of Chemistry.
There is need to formulate SATL models in all fields of Chemistry but initially in the major fields; Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry. The idea can be extended through out the globe by small lectures, conferences, workshops and training etc. This is particularly needed for developing countries where is less concentration on Chemistry.
|hands-on activities, training, workshops, conferences, classrooms
|students, educators, teachers, professional chemists, universities, general public
Apr 16, 2010 08:25AM
i think it is impossible to learn chemistry by linear aproach, isnt it?
Apr 16, 2010 08:30AM
Yes, so more focus should be on SATLC, new approach for bettre learning.
Apr 03, 2011 05:51PM
me is of the same veiw but here in our thirld world peoples pushing students and teachers to stuck to get only grad not to learn by thinking here it be coming the cash buisness plz plane for here with aditional reqvirments

These are the 14 semi-finalists for Miss Earth 2010:
Twenty year old Miss India, Nicole Faria, was crowned as Miss Earth 2010 Saturday, December 4 at the 10th Miss Earth Pageant held in Vinpearl Land, Nha Trang, Vietnam.
Faria beat 83 other contestants from around the world to become the second Asian to win the title. Faria was crowned by outgoing titleholder Miss Earth 2009, Larissa Ramos of Brazil.
Faria also won the Miss Talent, the first special award in the 10th Miss Earth pageant. She performed a graceful belly dance that combined Oriental and Middle Eastern style in an event that raised VND100 million, which was donated to the HCM City Red Cross, to support flood victims in the central region of Vietnam. She wore a shimmering white and gold outfit and defeated 17 other finalists.
The stunning Indian model, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto, bowled over the judges with her beauty, grace and intelligence.
Given a tough question on whether she would save the air or the water first during the Q&A session, the 20-year-old undergraduate thoughtfully said, "Both elements are important to us. But given the choice, I would save water from being polluted for the children."
First runner-up, Jennifer Pazmino of Ecuador, won the subsidiary title as Miss Earth Air.
Thailand's Watsaporn Wattanakoon and Puerto Rico's Yeidy Bosques made it to the Top 4 and were crowned as Miss Earth Water and Miss Earth Fire respectively.
Other finalists included Venezuela, Japan and South Africa.
In the earlier part of the pageant, Miss Guatemala took home the Miss Friendship Award while Miss Photogenic went to Miss Thailand. Miss Japan Marina Kishira won the Miss Earth Best in National Costume award while Miss Guatemala won the Miss Friendship award.
The new Miss Earth will also become a spokesperson for the Miss Earth Foundation, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and other environmental organizations.
The pageant was hosted by Marie Digby, Jennifer Pham and AXN's Sony Style host Oli Pettigrew. Guest performances were rendered by Ronan Keating and Vietnamese diva My Linh.
Miss Earth is an annual international beauty pageant promoting environmental awareness. Along with Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss International contests, Miss Earth is one of the four largest beauty pageants in the world in terms of the number of national-level competitions to participate in the world finals and is one of the most publicized beauty contests in the world. The reigning titleholders dedicate their year to promote environmental projects and to address issues concerning the environment.
These are the 14 semi-finalists for Miss Earth 2010:

Mississippi producers are showing that working for peanuts is not a bad thing.
The state produced the second-highest per acre peanut yield in the country in 2005 with between 1.7 and 1.8 tons grown per acre. Since 2001, Mississippi jumped from obscurity in peanut circles to No. 9 in the nation on the strength of about 17,000 acres of the crop. Peanut acreage is expected to increase about 10 percent this year.
Mike Howell, Mississippi State University Extension Service southeast district area agronomist, said the 2002 farm bill opened the door for the crop in Mississippi.
"When the quota system was eliminated, it became possible for a lot more farmers to grow peanuts," Howell said. "The interest really sparked in the southeast corner of the state where a few farmers had already been growing peanuts for several years. Peanuts now are grown there, throughout the Delta and in the northeast part of the state."
Diseases can transfer between peanuts and soybeans, but peanuts make a good rotation crop for corn or cotton. Peanuts can be grown on any soil type, although they perform best on sandy soils. Heavy soils make harvest difficult for this below-ground crop.
"We can find sandy spots in most counties in Mississippi," Howell said. "The southeast part of the state will probably remain the best part of the state for peanuts, but peanuts can be grown anywhere there is sandy soil, such as along rivers and creek bottoms."
Howell said the state has high yields because it has low disease pressure. "You have to rotate peanuts because of disease pressure," Howell said. "We're on new soils, so we don't have the disease pressure now that other states face, but we probably will in five or six years."
Peanut harvest equipment is significantly less expensive than harvest equipment for corn or cotton, and peanut inputs match cotton's input cost of $500 to $600 an acre. With good per acre yields and a minimum price of $355 per ton, Howell said peanuts are as economically attractive as cotton grown on good land.
George County in southeast Mississippi leads the state in peanut acreage with more than 2,000 acres in 2005 and 2006. Mike Steede, George County Extension director, said he expects no real change in peanut acreage in his county until a new farm bill changes farm policy again.
"Peanuts perform well in this area, and do fairly well in a drought situation compared to other crops," Steede said.
Ken Hood, Extension agricultural economist, said peanuts' estimated value of production in Mississippi was $7.83 million in 2006.
"I expect this to increase in 2007 if weather during the growing season is normal," Hood said. "Prices have held steady, but if speculation is correct about large tracts of Georgia peanut acreage moving to corn this year, we may benefit as buyers offer premiums over the loan rate."
Hood said total peanut acreage nationwide has steadily declined since 2002. Peanut stocks are down from 2006, and it appears that national peanut production will decline again in 2007.
"Buyers may try to lock in supply with spring contract prices above the loan rate," Hood said.
A bill is pending in the Mississippi Senate to impose a $2.50 per ton checkoff on peanuts. Howell said the state's peanut growers association is trying to establish the program to fund research and promotion of the crop in Mississippi.
Howell said peanuts grown in the southeastern United States are of the highest quality in the world, and most Mississippi peanuts end up in candy, peanut butter or packaged as snacks.
In 2006, MSU entered the peanut retail market with 18-ounce cans of crunchy and smooth peanut butter, and 1-ounce foil packages and 12- and 60-ounce cans of roasted peanuts. The products are available for purchase on campus in the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station Sales Store, also known as the MSU Cheese Store.

The Underhyped Enterprise Market and Consumerization of Enterprise
Summary: There remains a lot of potential in applying consumer product thinking and culture to enterprise problems. It will continue to change how we work in dramatic ways.
At TechCrunch Disrupt, Jim Goetz of Sequoia said:
"It's shocking we don't see more engineers and entrepreneurs interested in enterprise" the Sequoia Capital partner said earlier this week at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco.
Twice as many enterprise startups have become billion-dollar companies compared to consumer startups, he says.
"At Sequoia, upwards of a hundred entrepreneurs a week present and if we're lucky, maybe a dozen of them are focusing on the enterprise," he told Disrupt attendees. "In the last 10 years, there have been 56 IPOs in the enterprise space that have gotten north of a billion [dollars in market capitalization] and just 23 in consumer." …
Goetz said the enterprise IPO market will stay hot for at least a couple more years.
Enterprise remains an "enormous opportunity" because companies are spending about $500 billion a year with legacy enterprise companies and those budgets are ripe for the plucking.
"We believe most will be disrupted in the next decade," he says…
"The business model, thanks to Marc Benioff, is now a weapon for all of you," he said, referring to cloud software and subscription billing.
And an earlier TechCrunch story on Peter Fenton of Benchmark pointed out just how fundamental a shift is happening around the consumerization of enterprise:
Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz have made it clear that software has begun to eat the world, a belief that is reflected in their own investment thesis, which focuses almost exclusively on promising software startups.
But it's not the old software model that is consuming the planet. When we talk about this not-to-be-underestimated change in software companies, we're talking about the consumerization of enterprise…
The truth is that we're seeing a fundamental shift from sales-driven companies to product-driven companies. The companies that are leading the way there (Fenton cites Dropbox and, of course, portfolio companies Zendesk and New Relic) let this consumer and product focus permeate (read: define) the culture of their companies.
"It's a fundamentally different value system," he says. "These companies don't try to sell to non-users."…
The cloud has lowered the barriers to scale, making enterprise solutions instantly horizontal and global, providing an increasing number of access points to much larger markets. Fenton says that he's been keen on finding smart, product-focused entrepreneurs and either turning them on to enterprise opportunities or backing those already beginning to focus there. There's a much greater opportunity for those companies to reach scale than it is for their sales-driven counterparts.
On a similar theme, Doug Pepper of Interwest highlighted earlier this year the attractiveness of solid SaaS business models:
So, why are SaaS companies so attractive to public market investors and trading up in the aftermarket? I asked that question of a friend at a hedge fund that invests in IPOs. Here is his response (I bolded what I believe are his key points):
- SaaS companies are driven less by media hype and more by the investor appetite for attractive recurring revenue business models offered by the SaaS platform.
- These companies are growing rapidly as a result of customers shifting functions away from in-house solutions to more flexible and enhanced platforms that help increase revenues, improve productivity and reduce costs.
- Investors are not concerned by the lack of GAAP earnings, because there is a comfort driven by the 90-95% customer retention rates and an understanding that investing capital back in the business makes sense during the early phase of adoption.
- These factors lead to more defensible businesses that make for attractive takeout candidates.
In a nutshell, he is reiterating what Bill Gurley noted in his excellent post about what constitutes high quality revenue. In this case, SaaS companies solve critical problems for enterprises and generate sustainable and predictable recurring revenue with rapid growth.

"Heal Yourself with QiGong" by Sifu George Picard PublishedPosted on Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 6:34 pm
by The IDMA Team
A new book has been published in St.Catharines by local QiGong and Tai Chi Master George Picard. Sifu Picard has students throughout North America who are teaching an ancient healing modality called QiGong. Many of these students, including Medical Doctors and other health care professionals, have experienced firsthand the healing power of "QiGong" as taught by Sifu Picard. His new book "Heal Yourself with QiGong" has simplified Chinese Medicine concepts so that anyone can understand why QiGong is so effective in healing illness. The first printing was sold out to Qigong instructors and schools in Canada and the United States. It is currently in its second printing.
As a fifty-seven-year-old marathon runner, I needed massage or chiropractic adjustments frequently...not anymore since I started doing QiGong. I have also been a practitioner of yoga for thirty years, and find QiGong more practical, safe and effective in maintaining a healthy spine.
"Over the past year, we have been having a national debate in the United States about universal health care and the economic impact such a program could have on our economy. It's becoming obvious that we as individuals are going to have to take more personal responsibility for our overall health and wellbeing in order to protect ourselves and keep costs down…This book describes a method of maintaining health, reducing stress, and decreasing our dependence on drugs, which is both effective and economical and has withstood the test of time. I highly recommend QiGong to all of my patients and to everyone who reads this book."
"QiGong holds the key to healthful living. George Picard has true passion for this art and its potential to improve lives. His written words convey a wealth of knowledge and experience offered in plain language that demystifies 4000 years of wisdom. There is a message here for everyone from the elite athlete to those living with chronic illness. Reading this book should make you want to make daily practice of QiGong as much a part of your life as eating well, exercising and brushing your teeth."
Paul Bonner
