| | Fed's Kroszner Addresses Foreclosures And Their Impact On Communities | | 2008-05-07 09:03:43 | | Foreclosures and their impact on the surrounding community was the focus of Federal Reserve Governor Randall Kroszner Wednesday. He cautioned foreclosures "are likely to have risen further in the first quarter of 2008," and discussed what the Federal Reserve is doing to enhance community protection efforts."The mortgage market continues to face challenges, especially in the subprime segment," Kroszner told the NeighborWorks America Symposium on Stabilizing Communities in the Wake of Foreclosure in Cincinnati, Ohio. "The delinquency rate on subprime mortgages has continued to climb and has about doubled in the past year and, as of February, one in four subprime adjustable-rate mortgages was seriously delinquent, meaning the borrower was either in foreclosure or ninety days or more past due on a payment," he added.Kroszner outlined the Federal Reserveâs actions to help prevent foreclosures."The Federal Reserve is engaged in a number of efforts to encourage the use of loss-mitigation | | By: All About Investiment | | |

| | Virtual Communities and the Mental Health Profession | | 2008-04-23 08:18:47 | | This article is part three of a series of five that explores interesting, unique and noteworthy trends in the mental health profession. Examining these changes often brings about exciting opportunities if we, as clinicians, are able to look at these new service offerings and competitive influences in unique and creative ways.Virtual Communities and the Use of the Social Networking ModelThe Internet began simply as a way to display and find information. This information was presented in a static manner, meaning there was no functionality - only data. Today's Internet has evolved into a dynamic social medium where people come together to share ideas, meet one another, build relationships and offer support. The impact of social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook and LinkedIn has had a powerful effect on the World Wide Web, and this model has now made its way into the area of mental health.One example of this trend at a regional level involves a woman who started a Yahoo Group for | | By: Health Articles - Information on Health, Health Ca | | |

| | | Club Drug Addiction in the Gay or Straight Communities | | 2007-12-30 18:20:53 | | Club drug addiction can cause serious health problems and even death, especially when used in conjunction with alcohol. Though club drugs may be popular with some teen and young adults in party situations, they also pose real and life-threatening health risks. At an age when many youth may feel invincible, feeling the negative effects of club drugs may come as a shock as true human vulnerabilities to taking illicit substances are exposed and brought to light. The increase of the use of club drugs in the gay community is also on the rise, leading to a higher incidence of club drug addiction. Since so much of the club drug use is found in bars, and so many of the social activities of the gay community center around the bar scene, the consequences are obvious. Club drug addiction is treatable, so FIND TREATMENT NOW! 1-800-511-9225…..
Ecstasy, Rohypnol, Ketamine and GHB are the most common club drugs on the scene. Rohypnol is also known as the “date rape” drug and has been implicated in many sexual assaults over the past 5 years teens and young adults are attracted to the club drugs because of the euphoria one may feel when at first taking the substances. Most club drugs are also easy to obtain and cost little compared to other illegal substances, which easily leads to club drug addiction.. Ecstasy (MDMA) is perhaps the most famous of the club drugs, which is both a stimulant and a hallucinogenic. XTC, as it is often referred, is a “hug drug” that loosens inhibitions and gives a feeling of temporary wellbeing, energy, empathy and openness. Ecstasy was legal in the
United States before May 31, 1985 as it was used as a designer recreational drug and sometimes in psychotherapeutic settings. The health issues associated with the club drug XTC are primarily the body’s inability to regulate temperature. This can lead to kidney, liver and cardiovascular system failure.

| | Active Adult Communities | | 2007-10-10 15:12:00 | | They're becoming quite popular with the huge number of baby boomers!These are communities of homes that are built with a 55+ resident in mind. They usually have minimal steps, wide open spaces, a lot of recreational activities in the community and smaller yards (for less maintenance). Here is a snip from THIS ARTICLE in yesterday's Atlanta Journal & Constitution:"Two other national home builders have rolled out a strategy in metro Atlanta aimed at another group of transient buyers, retirees. Both Pulte Homes, through its Del Webb division, and Levitt Corp. brand Levitt & Sons have launched a series of communities designed to appeal to "active adults," affluent retirees over age 55 who want to live in a community designed around recreation and leisure activities.Pulte, in particular, has invested heavily in metro Atlanta with Del Webb communities at Lake Lanier and Lake Oconee and its signature Sun City design in Spalding County south of Atlanta. When first introducing Del Webb in the Atlanta market, Pulte executives predicted that Georgia will become as strong a magnet for retirees as Florida.With the looming retirement of the baby boom generation, Del Webb is positioning itself as a leader for housing designed to appeal to the healthiest, most affluent generation of home buyers in history."Cherokee County has such communities and I have seen the beauty and benefits of older adults moving into them. As the boomer generation begins to reach retirment age, the value of the homes in these active adult communities will continue to rise and the demand will be steady. If you are interested in looking at some of these communities or would like to position yourself to be ready to sell your current home in order to relocate to an active adult community, give me a call today and we'll talk strategy. 770-862-8002.Michael BradfordSouthern Prime Realty | | By: Cherokee County GA Real Estate | | |

| | WoW in Top 5 most popular game communities | | 2007-09-07 00:28:24 | | ActionTrip put together a pretty interesting list that includes World of Warcraft-- they've tried to list the top five most popular game communities.Online gaming is just a huge pasttime, obviously (thanks in large part to Blizzard's magnum online opus), and so there are quite a few communities that have built up around various games. But they've supposedly crunched the numbers, and they say they've come up with the five biggest.The Sims, Counterstrike, and Halo are all predictably on the list, as is World of Warcraft. Not too unexpected-- these aren't just the biggest communities in online gaming, they're also four of the biggest games of all time. But most surprising, RuneScape also joins the others. It's a Java-based (as in played in your browser) MMORPG that's basically an updated, graphical MUD.

| | Prison destroys communities | | 2007-06-27 09:04:52 | |
It’s not hard to figure out why Americans think sending wrong-doers to jail is such a good idea. The massive increase in the prison population from 380,000 in 1975 to 2.2 million today overlaps with an equally stunning decline in crime: during the Nineties, the homicide rate fell by an astonishing 43%. Cause and effect? Unquestionably, even if other factors, such as better policing and simple demographics (the fall in the proportion of the population made up of young men) have also played a part. But that said, the “lock then up” people should also accept that we’ve now reached the point of diminishing returns.
Today we’re putting too many people behind bars, people who pose little threat or who just shouldn’t be there. By the late Nineties, 60% of federal inmates were in for drug offences, casualties of the war on drugs. Then there’s the mentally ill, who, by even the most conservative estimate, now account for 16% of prisoners. Just | | By: Robs Place | | |
| | Events and communities: councils and permissions | | 2007-05-22 05:10:11 | | As previously analyzed, communities have a significant impact on the success of an event. Councils around the globe adopt policies toward particular kind of events that might e.g. attract large audiences or have an impact on the environment.What is councils' decision process toward events?Of course a big portion of it it's contextual and needs to be checked before the event in a feasibility study. A strict or helping council could be a threat or an opportunity of your SWOT analysis.Nevertheless it is of utmost importance to check with the local council before making any decision. It is likely that permissions will be needed and that procedures must be followedA standard procedure is summarized by Austrailia's New South WalesDepartment of Local Government:A good practice is to come up with a checklist of impact, crowd spectrum, security requirements, risk assessment before contacting any council. | | By: Event Management | | |
| | Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future | | 2007-05-19 18:00:06 | | Deep Economy is the latest book by Bill McKibben. McKibben wrote the best-selling The End of Nature. In this thought-provoking text, McKibben declares that more no longer equals better. Thus, we need to restructure our economic understandings so that our economies and environments cohere. He argues that this is possible, that we do not need to ‘give up’ products and our current lifestyles to become more eco-friendly.
McKibben’s assessment and propositions are not a doomsday manifesto, but rather a realistic, understandable and optimistic discussion about the present and the future.
