? ? ?Eating is one of our important processes in living our life. It is the way how we provide our body with the nutrition and energy we need to do our daily activities. Even though it is an important process of our life, bad eating habits often times contribute to some big problems for our health. There are several diseases triggered by bad habit in eating. One of the bad eating habits is eating disorder which is known as inappropriate way in eating. One of the most dangerous eating disorders that need to be solved as soon as possible is bulimia or also well known as bulimia nervosa. People with this eating disorder usually consume a big amount of food in a short amount of time. After they have finished eating, they usually try to rid themselves for the food eaten by vomiting and/ or taking laxative, diuretics, or excessive exercise.

? ? Well, it is very important to understand the signs of bulimia because we do not want it happen to someone that we love. One of the best ways to understand it is by accessing internet and search for information about bulimia as much as possible so that we are able to find the best place to find the best bulimia treatment.

Developers land low rates for construction loans - Finance ...

Posted: 7:35 am Thu, March 29, 2012

Plymouth-based developer Dominium was a beneficiary of low loan rates for its redevelopment of the Buzza Building in Minneapolis. Its $15.4 million variable rate loan is currently priced at just over 3 percent. (File photo: Bill Klotz)

Competition among eager banks is ?downright fierce?

The demand for new commercial construction may still be weak ? except in the multifamily sector ? but seasoned developers are finding plenty of bank suitors ready to make loans right now.

?The competition is as high as we?ve seen in five years ? it?s gotten downright fierce out there,? says Terry Kriesel, senior vice president for commercial real estate lending at St. Paul-based Bremer Bank.

The interest rates charged by those lenders started dropping in mid-2011 and continued to fall in the first quarter of 2012.

Kriesel said the most aggressive banks have lowered spreads over indexes to just 2 percent, which would mean a total interest rate of 2.24 percent on a construction loan. (In general, banks price construction loans based on a spread above the one-month Libor rate, which was 0.24 percent on Wednesday.)

More conventional, current rates range from upper 2 percent to just more than 3 percent, but developers and lenders say rates on many loans have dropped below 3 percent.

Alex Young, a senior vice president for development at St. Paul-based MSP Commercial, said his company will start construction on a new $5 million Veterans Administration medical building in Maplewood next month with a construction loan priced at below 3 percent.

?We saw the prices coming in every month this year, and this project definitely is benefiting by that trend. This is much below the rates we were looking at last summer,? Young said.

Bremer Bank handled MSP?s loan.

Dominium, the Plymouth-based multifamily developer and investor, is also saving borrowing costs on several projects under way now, including the redevelopment of the historic Buzza Building in Minneapolis? Uptown neighborhood. That 96-year-old manufacturing building is being converted to affordable apartments using tax credit financing.

The developer obtained a bridge loan from U.S. Bank to pay construction costs, which priced at just over 3 percent, while waiting for the tax credit to take effect, said Shane LeFave, a senior development associate with Dominium. Dominium obtained a $15.4 million bridge loan for the $34.5 million project.

?We?ll do projects at that price all day long,? LeFave said. ?Historically, those are extraordinary rates.?

The lender competition driving rates down has grown largely because banks say they cannot find enough borrowers to put their deposits to work. Alternative investments in securities or Federal Reserve investment banks offer returns below 1 percent, so construction loans ? even at very narrow spreads ? are lucrative, Kriesel said. ?There aren?t enough good assets out there to feed all the banks,? he said.

But the competition is also being spurred by the growing number of banks that are lending to developers again, as the economy slowly improves and their balance sheets get stronger.

?There are more players engaged in that market now,? said Jeanne Crain, market president for M&I, a part of BMO Financial Group in the Twin Cities. Her bank is one of those newly engaged lenders.

?We weren?t actively trying to build our portfolio last year,? Crain said. ?We didn?t have the capital to do that, and we were focused on managing what we had. But we?re back and want to grow again.?

Crain said M&I is seeing banks move competition beyond pricing to the location and deal structure.

?Banks are willing to look at locations that they would have turned their back on a year ago,? she said, adding that they are also offering fixed-rate loans for up to 10 years beyond the construction loan.

?But banks aren?t going to get crazy again? on the terms, she said.

One sign of that post-recession prudence is the increased importance lenders are placing on debt service coverage now, Young said.

?Three or four years ago, banks didn?t emphasize those, which meant you could build projects with 20 to 30 percent pre-leasing,? Young said. ?Now we?ve got to have 70 percent, and that?s actually good for everybody.?

Cheap and cheaper

Libor 30-day rate: 0.24%

Spread range in Twin Cites: 2.00-3.50%

All-in loan construction loan rates: 2.24-3.74%

Justin Bieber Channels Justin Timberlake On 'Boyfriend'

Lead Believe single dropped at midnight on Monday.
By Jocelyn Vena

Tween dream swagger is all over <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a>'s lead Believe single, <a href="/news/articles/1681595/justin-bieber-boyfriend.jhtml">"Boyfriend."</a> Taking several cues from Justin Timberlake's early post-'NSYNC work, the track amps up Bieber's credibility as a teen idol and remixes it with the type of production work longtime pop music fans can appreciate. <center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:752329/cp~vid%3D752329%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A752329" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> Lyrically, it sounds a bit silly at times (like when Bieber proposes he and his girl eat fondue by the fire), but Bieber's delivery of the lines proves that at 18, he's willing to take the steps to progress forward in the world of pop. Sometimes it seems a little too similar to the way the other Justin delivers lines, but "Boyfriend," co-produced and co-written by Mike Posner, is light-years beyond the sugary sweet "Baby." The song opens pretty sparsely, with just a thumping beat, a "woo" noise and Bieber's sing-songy rap, before a guitar comes in as Bieber makes his plea to win a girl over. The chorus will have girls dancing around thanks to its bumping beat and chugging R&B-influenced instrumentation. He sings, "I could be a gentleman/ Everything you want/ If I was your boyfriend/ I'd never let you go/ I'd never let you go," before rapping, "Tell me what you like." Bieber uses some form of the word "swag" no fewer than four times on the track, including the somewhat perplexing line, "Swag, swag, swag on you." But regardless of what Bieber detractors might have to say, his Beliebers, who have aged right along with their idol, will appreciate his more grown-up sound on the record. The song officially dropped at midnight on Monday. <a href="/news/articles/1680373/justin-bieber-believe-album.jhtml">Believe</a> will be released later this year. As for the video, his manager, Scooter Braun, tweeted that it's already in the works.

Iraqi woman beaten in Calif.; threat note left

EL CAJON, Calif.?? A 32-year-old woman from Iraq was critically injured after being severely beaten in her Southern California home, and police said a threatening note was discovered at the scene.

The woman's 17-year-old daughter found her unconscious Wednesday morning in the dining room of the house in El Cajon, police Lt. Steve Shakowski said. Authorities identified the victim as Shaima Alawadi, a mother of five.

The daughter told KUSI-TV that her mother had been beaten on the head repeatedly with a tire iron.

Police Lt. Mark Coit said a threatening note was discovered "very close to where the victim was found," but he did not disclose other details of the note. The family said they had found a similar note earlier this month but did not report it to authorities, Coit said.

Sura Alzaidy, a family friend, told UT San Diego the note told the family to ?go back to your own country. You?re a terrorist.?

Alzaidy said the attack apparently occurred after the father took the younger children to school. Alzaidy told the newspaper the family is from Iraq, and that Alawadi is a "respectful modest muhajiba," meaning she wears the traditional hijab, a head scarf.

The family had lived in the house in San Diego County for only a few weeks, after moving from Michigan, Alzaidy said. Alzaidy told the newspaper her father and Alawadi's husband had previously worked together in San Diego as private contractors for the U.S. Army, serving as cultural advisers to train soldiers who were going to be deployed to the Middle East.

El Cajon, northeast of downtown San Diego, is home to some 40,000 Iraqi immigrants, the second largest such community in the U.S. after Detroit.

The Cat-Bird Conflict - ABA Blog

They say that fools step in where angels fear to tread. Well, here I go!

I got another one of those emails where you?re asked to vote for a cause to receive a charitable donation from a major foundation. I honestly hate these things on so many levels. In the first place, it points out how many amazing causes are in desperate need of support. As a volunteer for a couple of non-profits, I really understand that. Who could imagine the lengths we are willing to go to in order to get a bit of financial support! In the second place, these votes typically push conservation efforts to the bottom of the priority list. How can you expect the general public to vote for saving a wetland (known by most as a swamp) when they are looking at pictures of hungry children, dilapidated schools, battered pets and people struggling to overcome illness or disability? And then there?s the cats and the ?trap, neuter, release? programs?

I love cats. A lot of my non-birder friends think it?s strange that someone who cares about birds and conservation could love cats. A lot of my birder friends have no problem understanding it. A recent poll on the Wild Bird magazine website showed that 58% of the respondents had at least one cat. Cat loving and wild bird loving are not mutually exclusive! Our cats and birds fill completely different needs for us. However, there?s no question that there is a conflict, and it?s outdoors.

Cat and mouse
Even well-fed cats will hunt. Their skill at killing rodents endeared them to many settlers, but they are proving to be too good at it for native birds and animals.

So how do we resolve this conflict? I will confess that I?ve been a convert since about 1990, and as any of you who have had to deal with people who have stopped smoking or quit some other habit, converts can get a little bit evangelical. I used to let my cats go outdoors. I thought it would be cruel to keep a cat indoors. I never liked them catching wild animals and birds, but my last indoor/outdoor cat was not a hunter. (Yes, I really believe that some cats do not kill birds.) I knew, and used, all of the excuses.

In fact, it wasn?t even a love of birds or nature that prompted me to keep my cats indoors. A neighbor trapped my cat! I couldn?t find Rufus for days. For more than a week, I wandered the neighborhood calling his name. I put up posters. I put ads in the paper. I even checked with highway maintenance to see if they?d found his body. I was heart-broken. For some of us, our pets really are more like furry children. After eight days, a much thinner cat with worn claws and foot pads finally came home. It was shortly after this that I found that 14 cats had gone missing in our neighborhood and that a trap had been found in a yard in the middle of the ?no cat zone?. This neighbor didn?t love birds?he loved gardening and hated cats. After, that, I still allowed Rufus outside, but only under supervision. Then I moved. Whew! What a relief it was to be away from such a dreadful neighbor.

At our new house, I kept Rufus on a leash for the first week so that he could get used to his new surroundings. When I finally let him off his leash, he made a bee-line to a neighbor?s yard. I was determined to keep a closer eye on my cat, so I followed, only to find a tin of poison laced with sardines on my new neighbor?s carport floor. Was there no safe place left for a cat? I started hearing horror stories about how people were trapping cats throughout our city and killing them. My blood pressure rose thirty points every time this made the news. The choice was clear. If I loved my cat and wanted to keep him safe, I was going to have to keep him indoors.

After Rufus came Okie and Hobbes--100% indoor cats except on leashes or on a high enough deck that they wouldn?t jump to the ground. And guess what? They were happy, healthy, energetic pets. I was a convert. The number one ?must have? for my next home purchase was a deck that the cats could use and not get to the ground. Did I mention that I love cats? Sam and Mushu followed, and have been indoor cats since I got them. They are also healthy and happy. And Mushu, if given a chance, would kill every bird in my yard. Despite my efforts, there is still about one bird a year that meets its end on my deck.

Mushu, a stray that may have become feral, found a home with an elevated deck fills his desire for trips outdoors.

Pre-conversion, I scoffed at the statistics. The numbers put out by bird protection groups like the American Bird Conservancy and their British counterpart seemed greatly inflated, extrapolated from a highly successful hunting cat. Then I heard a statistic that I didn?t have trouble believing?the population estimate of cats in North America. There are over 100 million pet cats on the continent. If they each only caught one bird a year on average, that?s 100 million birds! And that doesn?t even take into consideration the estimated 40 million feral cats which would clearly take a lot more. I had to concede that this was an issue.

A dead bird on the doorstep is usually an indication of a kill by a well-fed cat.?

While some folks still don?t agree that this is a problem, there are lots of people trying to address this issue, in very different ways. Pet owners are becoming more responsible. More and more of us are keeping our cats indoors, or outside in enclosures or on leads. Some cities are implementing bylaws to license and/or neuter cats and generally make owners more responsible. There are bibs that some owners put on their cats which apparently do prevent them from catching birds, but I suspect the cats wearing them are so humiliated that they probably don?t even want to venture out where anyone can see them. I actively encourage outdoor cat owners who won?t keep their pets indoors to at least keep them in until a couple of hours after sunrise and during the twilight hours when birds are most active. I also remind them that when a cat kills a bird in the spring, there?s probably a nest of babies left starving somewhere out in their neighborhood. You?d be surprised how many people hadn?t considered that.

The feral cat population is a whole other matter. The feral cat protectors (who, for the most part, also like birds), killing the free-roaming cats is not an option. I honestly don?t want the cats killed either. Let?s face it, the problem is the people that let the cats go, not with the cats themselves. They are doing what comes naturally, but unfortunately, they are doing it in a part of the world where the resident species can?t naturally expect them. That?s the crux of the issue. An introduced, very efficient predator is going to wipe out a lot of na?ve natives.

The cat advocates are not happy that these descendents of pets released by irresponsible owners have to forage in the alleys of the city or in the wild just to survive. Enter trap, neuter, release or TNR. The TNR programs are intended to gradually reduce the feral cat population through natural attrition as the reproductive abilities of the cats are limited by neutering. I can find statistics that shows that these programs are working in some locations and not working in others. The ?carrying capacity? of an area (i.e. the number of animals that can survive on the available food resources) is increased by the cat feeding programs that invariably go along with TNR. One un-neutered female can easily make up for any natural attrition in fairly short order. Whatever the success or numbers, cats in the wild will continue to take a toll on birds and small mammals.

Trapped, neutered and not released, Boodah, his mother and one other feral cat are now much loved and happy indoor cats sharing a house with two cat and bird loving humans.

For the most part, I believe that the TNR and cat advocacy groups truly hope that every cat will be a wanted pet. The bird advocates want every cat to be a wanted pet and kept under control. There are more shared objectives here than differences, yet we seem to often find ourselves in heated battles. Trap, neuter, release doesn?t protect the birds, but it?s undoubtedly better than not neutering the cats. It may not be reversing the number of feral cats, but it certainly must be slowing the growth of the feral population.

There?s no doubt that people are a major part of the problem when it comes to bird population issues. We?ve found so many highly efficient ways to kill birds?windows, habitat destruction, pesticides, transmission towers, cars, and cats just to name a few. Of all of these, we may have our greatest opportunity to limit the damage by being responsible for our cats.

So I?m throwing it out there. What can we do as bird advocates to work with the cat advocates to achieve our common objectives? Encourage cat licensing/neutering bylaws? Help cat protection agencies find homes for abandoned pets? Take in a feral cat or two?? Support TNR until we find a better solution? Come on, cat/bird lovers! Let?s figure this one out.

Huawei Fusion hits AT&T's GoPhone lineup, prepaid Gingerbread for $125 (update)

Hey, not everyone needs a bunch-of-core superphone tied down to a two-year contract, so it's always nice to have some solid prepaid options, right? If you shook your head yes to that, you'll be pleased to know ~~that AT&T's just added the Android Gingerbread-loaded Huawei Fusion to its GoPhone lineup.~~ The device features a 3.5-inch (320 x 480) display up front, while on back there's a 3.2-megapixel shooter. Other goodies include Bluetooth 2.1, FM radio functionality and support for up to 32GB of storage via MicroSD. If you're still nodding your noggin, the Fusion and its (essentially) utilitarian specs can be yours for the keeping, sans contractual commitment, for just $125. You'll find more info at the links below.

Update: Well, our mistake folks. It turns out this phone has been available on AT&T for quite some time now. Thanks to everyone in the comments for pointing this out.
