Warning - Tallahassee Real Estate

I continue to shake my head in awe at the deceptive housing report that is published each month by the marketing department of the National Association of Realtors.

If you are a long-time reader of the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, then you know that I report on NAR?s opinion reports each month. They continue to spiral down the path of marketing and promotion, rather than reporting the true state of the real estate market. And their biggest crime is not what they are saying, it is what they are implying.

In its most recent housing report, NAR wrote:

The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $187,300 in July, up 9.4 percent from a year ago. The last time there were five back-to-back monthly price increases from a year earlier was in January to May of 2006. The July gain was the strongest since January 2006 when the median price rose 10.2 percent from a year earlier.

Now, does that have you believing that homes are appreciating?

If it were me and I relied upon each NAR housing report, I would think that home values are rising, and that the recovery is well on the way.

Unfortunately, we know better.

Why Does Tallahassee Produce A Different Housing Report

In NARs defense, Tallahassee could be moving contrary to the National market. A housing report that only focuses on Tallahassee could be constrained by events that are not being observed nationally.

After all, there could be low inventory in most real estate markets (though I?m not seeing this being reported in very many locations).

And there could be no foreclosures hiding in the shadow inventory.

And maybe these other markets did not just set a record for the most lis pendens filed in a month.

But since I do not have that information, I will focus on the information that I do have.

The Truth About Home Values In A Realtor Housing Report

NAR is always quick to point out median home price movement when it is on the rise. But does the average (or median) price correlate to real estate appreciation (depreciation)? If the median price is rising, can we also say the values are rising?

No, we cannot. And it is wrong to report average price movements and imply in the message that homes are going up in value again. Because they are not.

My evidence comes from the Tallahassee MLS, and I suspect real estate professionals could find similar housing report results in their own markets. But they will not get this from NAR.

If we look at year to date, arms length home sales in Tallahassee, we find that 2012 has recorded the highest average home size in the past 11 years. This means that people are buying bigger (more house) now than ever before.

What NAR fails to reveal in their housing report is that mortgage interest rates are 22% lower this year than they were at the same time last year (based upon Freddie Mac?s report on 30 year fixed rate mortgages).

This additional buying power is allowing people to purchase ?more home? for the same monthly mortgage payment, and they are choosing bigger homes.

This is the current dynamic that is allowing the median home price to rise, even as the median home value continues to decline. In fact, home values are 1.33% lower though August than they were last year.

What do you think will happen when mortgage interest rates begin to rise after the election? That will mean buyers will have diminished buying power ?

A Call For Accurate Housing Reports

I wish more Realtors would do these types of housing reports. I suspect there are local markets well into recovery, and a housing report from each of them showing price, value, and size would be quite revealing.

Personally, I only look at the raw data in any housing report published by NAR, and I would encourage our readers to take anything opined by NAR with a grain of salt.

How gene profiling in emphysema is helping to find a cure

Saturday, September 1, 2012

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death in the United States and is thought to affect almost three million people in the UK. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Medicine has identified genes whose activity is altered with increasing lung damage and, using a database of drug effects on gene activity (the Connectivity Map), finds that the compound Gly-His-Lys (GHK) affects the activity of these genes. When tested on human cells from lungs damaged by emphysema, GHK was able to restore normal gene activity and repair cell function.

The strongest cause of COPD is smoking, and at least 25% of smokers will develop this disease. Tobacco smoke and other irritants cause oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, which over time results in emphysema, the destruction of lung alveolar cells. Without these cells, the lungs are not able to efficiently exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide, leaving the patient continuously short of breath and with low levels of oxygen in their blood.

In a ground breaking, multi-centre, study funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH), researchers used cells taken from lungs donated by patients undergoing double lung transplant, whose own lungs were irrevocably damaged by COPD. Profiling of these samples showed that 127 genes had changes in activity that was associated with worsening disease severity within the lung. As would be expected from the nature of the disease, several genes associated with inflammation, such as the genes involved in signalling to B-cells (the immune system cells which make antibodies), showed increased activity.

In contrast genes involved in maintaining cellular structure and normal cellular function, along with the growth factors TGF? and VEGF, were down-regulated and showed decreased activity. This included genes which control the ability of the cells to stick together (cell adhesion), produce the protein matrix which normally surrounds the cells, and which promote the normal association between lung cells and blood vessels.

Dr Avrum Spira and Dr Marc Lenburg, who co-led this study from the Boston University School of Medicine, explained, "When we searched the Connectivity Map database, which is essentially a compendium of experiments that measure the effect of therapeutic compounds on every gene in the genome, we found that how genes were affected by the compound GHK, a drug known since the 1970s, was the complete opposite of what we had seen in the cells damaged by emphysema."

Dr Joshua Campbell explained, "What got us especially excited was that previous studies had shown that GHK could accelerate wound repair when applied to the skin. This made us think that GHK could have potential drug's as a therapy for COPD."

Prof James Hogg, from the University of British Columbia continued, "When we tested GHK on cells from the damaged lungs of smokers with COPD, we saw an improvement in the structure of their actin cytoskeleton and in cell adhesion, especially to collagen. GHK also restored the ability of cells to reorganise themselves to repair wounds and construct the contractile filaments essential for alveolar function."

GHK is a natural peptide found in human plasma, but the amount present decreases with age. While more testing needs to be done on its effects in COPD, these early results are very promising. Therapeutic studies with GHK in animal models of COPD are now underway with the ultimate goal of moving this compound into clinical trials. As more gene activity signatures are discovered, this method of matching drug to disease may provide a rapid method for discovering potential uses for existing drugs and compounds.

Fiery Obama embarks on march to the Dem convention

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) ? President Barack Obama lampooned the just-completed Republican National Convention as better-suited to an era of black-and-white TV and " trickle-down, you're on your own" economics Saturday, and declared that Mitt Romney "did not offer a single new idea" to fix the economy.

"There was a lot of talk about hard truths and bold choices, but no one actually told you what they were," Obama said, chuckling, as he set out on a three-day tour of battleground states in the run-up to his own convention.

Yet even the site of Obama's convention, Charlotte, N.C., served as an unwelcome reminder to the Democrats of an economy so weak that it threatens his chances for re-election.

The president carried North Carolina in 2008, but the state's unemployment rate is pegged at 9.6 percent, well higher than the nation's 8.3 percent and tied with next-door South Carolina for fifth from the bottom.

Obama's convention opens Tuesday at the Time Warner Cable arena with evening speeches by first lady Michelle Obama and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the keynote speaker.

The president will be nominated for a new term on Wednesday, when former President Bill Clinton also will speak. Vice President Joe Biden delivers his own acceptance speech the same evening.

Obama's prime-time acceptance speech, to be delivered at the outdoor Bank of America Stadium, caps the convention on Thursday night. Aides predict a capacity crowd will hear the speech at the site, which has a capacity of nearly 74,000 for football.

Democrats are taking their turn in the convention spotlight just days after the Republicans met in Tampa, Fla., to nominate former Massachusetts Gov. Romney for the White House and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to be vice president.

A parade of speakers in Tampa excoriated Obama's handling of the economy, which is struggling in the weakest recession recovery of the post-World War II era.

The economy has been the top-rated issue in opinion polls all year, and the president is eager to turn the focus onto Romney on that subject.

Republicans "will take us backwards," Obama said, to the age of "trickle-down, you're on your own" economics that begin with tax cuts for the rich but tax increases for the middle class.

The president made a brief detour to foreign policy in his speech.

"Gov. Romney had nothing to say about Afghanistan this week or the plans for the 33,000 troops who will have come home from the war by the end of this month," he said.

The Republican challenger "said ending the war in Iraq was tragic. I said we'd end that war and we did," Obama said.

Romney said late last year, in a veterans roundtable, "The precipitous withdrawal is unfortunate. It's more than unfortunate, I think it's tragic. It puts at risk many of the victories that were hard won by the men and women who served there."

Obama, pointing to successes, declared, "I said we'd take out bin Laden and we did."

His audience cheered the mention of the demise of the architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, who was killed in his hideout in Pakistan by U.S. Navy SEALs last year. Obama ordered the raid, and even Republicans credit him for the decision.

Romney campaigned in Ohio during the day ? the opening of the college football season ? and proclaimed it was time the country had a winning season after years of a sluggish economy and high unemployment.

Referring to the number of jobless in the country, Romney told his own cheering crowd, "If you have a coach that's zero and 23 million, you say it's time to get a new coach."

He also pledged to cut the federal deficit and "get us on track for a balanced budget."

Yet Romney has yet to produce a budget for public inspection. Nor did he mention that, as chairman of the House Budget Committee, Ryan wrote a plan projecting the deficit would decline each year from 2013 through 2017 but then begin an inexorable rise again. Additionally, the federal debt is projected to rise each year, from a current level of nearly $16 trillion to an estimated $25 trillion at the end of 2022.

Obama made Iowa his first stop on what his campaign billed as "The Road to Charlotte." He told the crowd he did so "because it was you, Iowa, who kept us going when the pundits were writing us off."

There was another reason, as well.

Polls make the state one of eight or so battlegrounds where the election is most likely to be decided. The president carried Iowa in 2008, and in an indication of the struggle he now faces, he has been lavishing time on it in recent weeks. He spent three days in August on a bus tour that traversed the state from west to east.

He had a second Iowa stop during the day before flying to Colorado for a Sunday appearance before college students at the University of Colorado.

Obama's schedule for Monday includes an appearance in Toledo, Ohio, yet another battleground state, before a trip to Louisiana to inspect damage from Hurricane Isaac.

Romney visited Louisiana on Friday.

Television ratings for the final night of the Republican convention were lower than four years ago. The Nielsen Co. said an estimated 30.3 million viewers watched Thursday night's coverage of Romney's acceptance speech. That was down by one-fourth from 2008, when John McCain spoke on the final night of the Republican gathering in St. Paul., Minn.

Opinion: Drive stats are future of NFL analysis

Moving beyond general offensive, defensive stats will paint a more detailed picture

OPINION

By SCOTT KACSMAR

NBCSports.com contributor

updated 5:44 p.m. ET Sept. 1, 2012

For NFL fans seeking strong statistical analysis, mainstream progress has been very slow. Sports networks still rank the best offenses and defenses by total yards. Even a casual fan knows yards are not more important than points.

But general scoring stats also do not paint a detailed picture of how a team?s game or season went. A lot of the numbers in a game summary suffer the same problems. We need deeper context.

Fortunately, there is a better alternative. One that hopefully will become a permanent fixture in even the most general NFL analysis, and that is to look at the drive stats.

Football is a series of drives
At its core, football is a game primarily about offense versus defense, sprinkled in with some special teams.

Every team may play four quarters and 60 minutes, but what matters are the possessions; the drives that decide the outcome. Those are not constant. How the game was played ? different paces and tempos ? dictates the number of drives, and all of this is very important when analyzing a team?s stats.

You may have seen some drive stats recently as the networks showed how quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow have equally led the New York Jets to zero touchdowns on 15 drives each this preseason.

Last season, the worst offense in the league at scoring touchdowns ? the St. Louis Rams managed just 16 ? scored a touchdown on 8.4 percent of their drives. The Green Bay Packers led the league at 37.5 percent (63 touchdowns on 163 drives).

Interested yet? This is the kind of analysis one can learn from drive stats, which are found in the early pages of an official NFL game book (see "Ball Possession And Drive Chart").

Fortunately, a website like FootballOutsiders compiles drive data regularly, and you can view it for the 1997-2011 seasons. You can look at offense or defense, and the bottom table includes net drive statistics that take both into account.

Why drive stats work better than traditional stats
Let?s apply drive stats to the pair of 2011 games between the New England Patriots and New York Giants. First it was a 24-20 Giants? victory in New England in Week 9, and of course a 21-17 win in Super Bowl XLVI.

By traditional stats, one may say the Giants did better offensively the first time. Having 24 points is better than 21, and if you remember the Super Bowl starting with Tom Brady?s bizarre intentional grounding for a safety, then the disparity is actually 24 to 19.

But how many people remember that the Week 9 game was 0-0 at halftime? Drive stats tell a much different story of how well the Giants played offensively. In each game, the Giants had a kneel-down drive before halftime, which is excluded.

• In Week 9, New York?s offense had 13 possessions, scored 24 points (1.85 per drive), and gained 362 yards (27.8 per drive).
• In Super Bowl XLVI, New York?s offense had eight possessions, scored 19 points (2.38 per drive), and gained 397 yards (49.6 per drive).

If you take both totals and drive stats, this is where the Giants would have ranked in the 2011 regular season:

• Week 9 (totals): 24 points (10th) and 362 yards (14th).
• Week 9 (drives): 1.85 points per drive (15th) and 27.8 yards per drive (19th).
• Super Bowl XLVI (totals): 19 points (26th*) and 397 yards (5th).
• Super Bowl XLVI (drives): 2.38 points per drive (4th) and 49.6 yards per drive (1st).

*20th using the Giants? full 21 points for an apples-to-apples comparison. The NFL scoring rankings do not separate for non-offensive scoring plays. Drive stats do.

The Giants had an elite performance on offense in the Super Bowl when you look at the drive stats. On eight possessions, they scored two touchdowns and two field goals, while also moving the ball well on four drives that ended in a punt.

Yet that would never be recognized if you only looked at their below-league-average 19 points on the scoreboard. But an offense can only score when they have the ball, and on eight possessions, they produced like an elite offense.

Fewest offensive drives since 1997 Rank Team Season Drives 1 Colts 2008 144 2 Colts 2006 148 3 Colts 2005 156 4T Colts 2007 158 4T Patriots 2007 158 4T Patriots 2010 158

Sometimes you just don't get enough chances, something Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning?s brother Peyton is very familiar with. Based on the data at FootballOutsiders, the Peyton-led Indianapolis Colts have had the top four seasons with the fewest offensive possessions since 1997.

Manning?s highly efficient offense limited his opportunities, as did a Colts defense that gave up many completions and plentiful gains on the ground. It was the perfect storm for games with few possessions, and ultimately it means the Colts? offensive stats are better than they look, while the defense was actually worse.

Drive stats properly credit offenses and defenses for scoring plays they were actually on the field for, while giving us a much better indicator of efficiency and performance than the totals ever will.

Anderson: 'The Master' inspired by L. Ron Hubbard

VENICE, Italy (AP) ? Director Paul Thomas Anderson acknowledges that Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard was the inspiration for the title character in "The Master," but says the focus of the film is the relationship between a charismatic spiritual leader and his troubled follower, not the movement itself.

The movie, set in the 1950s, stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as a charismatic cult leader who captivates a tortured but sympathetic World War II veteran portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix.

"The narrative is just driven by these two guys, and their love for each other," Anderson told a news conference on Saturday ahead of the highly anticipated film's world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival.

Anderson sought to quickly dispel any speculation about the film's influence on his friendship with Tom Cruise, who starred in Anderson's 1999 film "Magnolia" and whose Scientology beliefs are well-documented.

"We are still friends. I showed him the film, and the rest is between us," Anderson said.

Anderson said the fact that Hoffman's character, Lancaster Dodd, was inspired by Hubbard "is not an elephant in the room."

"I really don't know a whole hell of a lot about Scientology, particularly now," he said. "But I do know a lot about the beginning of the movement and it inspired me to use it as a backdrop for these characters."

Phoenix's character, Freddie Quell, is completely unhinged, unable to keep a job, drinking anything that will give him a buzz, including liquid siphoned from a ship's missile, and displaying a wide range of inappropriate behaviors throughout his journey in Dodd's entourage.

Phoenix, appearing in his first movie in several years, himself displayed some mildly erratic behavior during the news conference, fidgeting, lighting up several cigarettes and leaving the dais to go back stage at one point for two minutes.

Hoffman, Phoenix's costar, on one side and Anderson on the other tried to ignore the antics.

Phoenix responded to just one question, about how he approached the character, appeared impervious to the others, and he drew boos from news photographers when he cut his photo call off after just 14 seconds.

"I'll just say, I'll say I don't think, maybe Paul gives, or gave me, the impression I had leeway. But I don't think I ever did," Phoenix said. "I don't know where it comes from and I don't care."

Whether or not the aloof demeanor was sincere or an act was impossible to tell. But Phoenix's appearance in a documentary by his brother-in-law, actor Casey Affleck, premiered in Venice in 2010, about Phoenix's seemingly downward spiral caused many to speculate whether the whole thing was a publicity stunt.

In Phoenix's return to film, the first glimpse of the depth of Quell's troubles comes on R&R in Hawaii in the waning days of the war.

He builds an erotic sand sculpture of a naked woman on a beach crowded with sailors. As they inspect his work, Quell mimics sexual acts with the sand figure that go on for just a few seconds longer than is really funny. That the antics are a cover for a painful loneliness comes through minutes later when he lays down next to a carefully sculpted figure, head nestled near the breasts, offering an unreturned embrace.

After the war, he can't keep a job and kills, or nearly kills, a migrant worker with the poisonous swill he distills. The former sailor seeks drunken refuge on a ship that is carrying Dodd, his family and followers from California to New York via the Panama Canal.

As the two grow closer, Dodd's wife, played by Amy Adams, begins to worry about Quell's true intentions and if his destructive behavior will endanger their movement. But Dodd won't give up his protege.

Hoffman said the two characters are more similar than they appear.

"They're both wild beasts I think ultimately. One of them has just tamed it somehow and he's trying to teach other people how to do that, but ultimately that's where the doubt and the whole reluctant prophet thing comes in," Hoffman said. "Ultimately he wants to be wild like Freddie is, so there's this real attraction there over that. "

Hoffman said he can relate to the desire to act without reservation, asking: "Why can't I just run naked through the streets of Venice?"

"Why can't I just do that and have it be OK, you know. Is it possible that I could just have sex with everyone I see today?' No, it can't. But I wish that was possible, so I think I'm going to go find my master and he'll teach me how not to do that."

After unusual speech, 'Eastwooding? makes the rounds on the Web

Clint Eastwood was the surprise speaker at the Republican convention. And the "Dirty Harry" actor's rambling speech didn't make everybody's day. The 82-year-old gave an ad-libbed talk to an empty chair on stage that was supposed to be President Obama?or where he was sitting?or something.

It didn't take long for Obama's furniture stand-in to take on a life of its own. Cue the "Eastwooding" Web meme.

Game of Thrones "Eastwooding" from @Column55 on twitter.Immediately, Clint Eastwood became a trending topic on Twitter as commenters poured out their thoughts?and let their imaginations run wild.

From Brent Spiner ?@BrentSpiner, "After watching Clint Eastwood's speech last night at the RNC, I'm voting for the chair. "

Chris Rock (yes, that Chris Rock) ?@chrisrockoz posted, "Clint Eastwood on the phone with Obama now: 'It all went according to plan,sir.'"

@BorowitzReport wrote, "A new poll reveals that Romney trails Clint Eastwood's empty chair after convention."

Ken Jennings ?@KenJennings added,
"An LA cop friend tells me Clint Eastwood has been driving alone in the HOV lane 'with the President' for YEARS. "

Funny Or Die jumped in with a gallery of some of the best images, noting that Eastwood gave "a stern lecture to a chair," and picking up on some of the best chair memes, many of which involved the Eastwood/Chair ticket for 2012.

A fake Simpsons cartoon image shows Grandpa Simpson in a newspaper clipping with the headline, "Old man yells at chair."

And a Shepard Fairey version of the 2008 "Hope" poster was circulating with an image of a chair instead of Obama.

Suzanne Munshower ?@expatina asked,
"I have one question: Was the mystery guest Clint Eastwood or the Invisible Obama?"

Simon Pegg ?@simonpegg posted,
"Woken up to excited chatter in the US. Apparently Clint Eastwood had an argument with an empty chair regarding its political standpoint. "

FastLaugh ?@FastLaugh tweeted,
"Give Clint Eastwood a break... The RNC asked him to speak about ObamaCare and he thought they said ObamaChair..."

Obama's Twitter feed, @BarackObama responded with the post:
