Easy Things That You Can Do Before Buying a Condo ? Salt Lake ...

Nowadays, condos are selling like hotcakes in the market. Many people are taking advantage of buying a unit because of the practicability and accessibility. Others consider condos to be typically less expensive than similar single family homes in the market. They can either choose one or two bedroom varieties and this type of property can be easily evaluated and can be a great investment. People choose to live in a condo for a variety of reasons. The reason why it?s getting more popular these days because the comfort of living in a condo is far from owning a single family home in town. Location and time are considered by some of city goers and working people.

Here are some simple things you can do when you are looking for the right condo in the market.

Consider the location. When you are searching for the best condo in town, it is always a good start to know where it is really located. If your office of work is near your condo then that would be better because it allows you to save time and walking distance.

Know the different access to certain commercial buildings, offices, and major roads. As far as location is concerned, one thing that you could do when looking for a condo is to know the major roads for access at any time of the day. There should be a commercial building or any establishment that you can rely on whenever you need to buy something.

Your condo unit should have a good security. Remember that you will be having different neighbors for a certain area in the building. Make sure that the building has a security guard or special security features that you can count on and safety first.

Maintenance fee should be reasonable. When you are living in a condo, one advantage is that you will not be obliged to clean the hallways and other areas such as parking lot or the railing on the property since you will be paying for the maintenance fee. Just make sure it is cheaper and reasonable by any means.

The amenities should be available always. Would it be great if the building has a pool, a workout room and a clubhouse? Yes! When you pay for maintenance fee, you can use the amenities available? for a certain building. There will be no extra charges since you pay the maintenance fee and it is just part of living in a condo with luxury.

Know if the price is right. As you examine the unit, the features of the room should be reasonable enough for you to pay for it. Check if all the facilities are functioning properly. Ask for the details.

If you think these things satisfy your need then you can always buy a condo at the end of the day.

UBS may face $1 billion fine in rate-rigging case

4 hrs.

Swiss bank UBS faces a combined fine of about $1 billion to settle charges of rigging the Libor interest rate benchmark early next week, a person familiar with the situation said on Thursday.

Such a penalty would be more than double the $450 million fine levied on British bank Barclays?in June by U.S. and British regulators and would be the third massive U.S. fine to hit big European banks this week.

"The global settlement is about $1 billion. It's expected early next week, on Monday or Tuesday," the source said. UBS declined to comment.

UBS declined to comment. Britain's Financial Services Authority and the U.S. Department of Justice and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) all declined to comment.?

Too big to fail means too big for jail

Barclays was the first - and so far only - bank to settle charges of rigging the London interbank offered rate, known as Libor, a benchmark used for trillions of dollars worth of loans around the world. Tiny shifts in the rate, compiled from daily polls of bankers, could benefit dealers in complex products.

The fallout from the scandal forced Barclays' chairman and chief executive to quit and prompted a political and public backlash against standards in banking across Europe and the United States. That was partly due to details in the Barclays settlement showing how traders brazenly gamed the system.

Libor is used to price financial products worth more than$300 trillion worldwide and regulators across the world are investigating more than a dozen banks for alleged rigging of rates going back to 2005 or even earlier.

This week British police and anti-fraud officers made the first arrests in connection to the probe, detaining a former trader and two other men,sources said.

One of those arrested was former UBS and Citigroup trader Thomas Hayes, according to a source familiar with the situation. The two others worked at inter-dealer broker RP Martin, according to a separate source.

The fine will mark another blow to UBS, which has had atough 18 months after suffering a $2.3-billion loss in a rogue trading scandal,management upheaval and thousands of job cuts.

"I'm not sure how much more reputational damage can bedone to UBS," said Chris Wheeler, analyst at Mediobanca in London."They are rebuilding that slowly, but it won't help the wealth management businesswhen you see this as a headline."

Banks are keen to put such fines behind them as they attemptto rebuild credibility among politicians, the general public and investors followingthe financial crisis which forced taxpayers to bail out companies which hadgambled themselves into trouble.

After months of criticism about poor standards and a cultureof immorality, incompetence or both across the banking industry, banks' profitsand capital are also taking heavy hits and more fines for past malpracticeappear likely.

"The trend is this is now an ongoing cost of doingbusiness," said Wheeler at Mediobanca. "It looks like it's going tobe a drain on the banks for some time."

HSBC on Tuesday reached a $1.92 billion settlement with U.S.authorities over money laundering, the highest ever fine on a bank, a day after another London-based bank, Standard Chartered, agreed to pay $327 million for violating U.S. sanctions against Iran, Sudan and other states, adding to an earlier $340 million for similar breaches of regulations.

Deutsche Bank, Germany's flagship lender, was raided on Wednesday by about 500 German tax inspectors and police, who arrested five staff in a probe linked to a tax scam involving the trading of carbon permits.

Britain's Royal Bank of Scotland is also expected to reach a settlement on Libor manipulation shortly.

Investigators are assessing whether banks used responses to the daily survey of the rates they would offer to other banks to try to nudge Libor,perhaps by only a few hundredths of a percentage point. Such a move could still benefit their own trades in bonds or more complex deals linked to that rate.

Banks found guilty also face civil lawsuits from those they traded with. Some borrowers complain they paid more interest than they should have,although others may have paid less.

Reuters' parent company Thomson Reuters collects information from banks and uses it to calculate Libor rates according to specifications drawn up by the British Bankers Association.

'Liquid that thinks:' Swarm of ping-pong-ball-sized robots created

Dec. 14, 2012 ? University of Colorado Boulder Assistant Professor Nikolaus Correll likes to think in multiples. If one robot can accomplish a singular task, think how much more could be accomplished if you had hundreds of them.

Correll and his computer science research team, including research associate Dustin Reishus and professional research assistant Nick Farrow, have developed a basic robotic building block, which he hopes to reproduce in large quantities to develop increasingly complex systems.

Recently the team created a swarm of 20 robots, each the size of a Ping Pong ball, which they call "droplets." When the droplets swarm together, Correll said, they form a "liquid that thinks."

To accelerate the pace of innovation, he has created a lab where students can explore and develop new applications of robotics with basic, inexpensive tools.

Similar to the fictional "nanomorphs" depicted in the "Terminator" films, large swarms of intelligent robotic devices could be used for a range of tasks. Swarms of robots could be unleashed to contain an oil spill or to self-assemble into a piece of hardware after being launched separately into space, Correll said.

Correll plans to use the droplets to demonstrate self-assembly and swarm-intelligent behaviors such as pattern recognition, sensor-based motion and adaptive shape change. These behaviors could then be transferred to large swarms for water- or air-based tasks.

Correll hopes to create a design methodology for aggregating the droplets into more complex behaviors such as assembling parts of a large space telescope or an aircraft.

In the fall, Correll received the National Science Foundation's Faculty Early Career Development award known as "CAREER." In addition, he has received support from NSF's Early Concept Grants for Exploratory Research program, as well as NASA and the U.S. Air Force.

He also is continuing work on robotic garden technology he developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2009. Correll has been working with Joseph Tanner in CU-Boulder's aerospace engineering sciences department to further develop the technology, involving autonomous sensors and robots that can tend gardens, in conjunction with a model of a long-term space habitat being built by students.

Correll says there is virtually no limit to what might be created through distributed intelligence systems.

"Every living organism is made from a swarm of collaborating cells," he said. "Perhaps some day, our swarms will colonize space where they will assemble habitats and lush gardens for future space explorers."

Syria state media: Blast near Damascus kills 16

BEIRUT (AP) ? Syria's state news agency says a bomb blast near the capital, Damascus, has killed 16 people. It says at least half of those killed are women and children.

The SANA news agency says a car packed with explosives blew up on Thursday near a school in a residential part of the southwestern suburb of Qatana.

The report quotes medics from a nearby hospital as saying 16 people were killed, including seven children and "a number" of women. It says nearly two dozen people were wounded.

Anti-regime activists say more than 40,000 people have been killed since the start of the uprising against President Bashar Assad's regime in March 2011.

Cheese: Not as newfangled as we thought

Researchers have linked ancient milk residue (thousands of years-old) to early forms of cheese-making. The scientists say this research provides new insights into the human diet and food production technologies.?

By Staff,?Reuters / December 14, 2012

This is a file photo of a street vendor selling regional smoked cheese 'oscypek ' in Zakopane, Poland. Little Miss Muffet could have been separating her curds and whey from the sixth millennium B.C., according to a new study that finds the earliest solid evidence of cheese-making.

Scientists have found the earliest evidence of prehistoric?cheese-making from a study of 7,500-year-old pottery fragments that are perforated just like modern cheese?strainers.

Milk production and dairy processing allowed early farmers to produce food without slaughtering precious livestock, and making cheese?turned milk into a less perishable food that was more digestible for a population who at the time would have been intolerant to the lactose contained in milk.

Researchers from the?University of Bristol in Britain, with colleagues in the?United States?and?Poland, analyzed fatty acids embedded in prehistoric pottery from the Polish region of Kuyavia, and found they had been used to separate milk into fat-rich curds for?cheese and lactose-containing whey.

"The presence of milk residues in sieves ... constitutes the earliest direct evidence for?cheese-making," said M?lanie Salque from?Bristol, one of the authors of the research, which was published in?the journal Nature.

Peter Bogucki, another researcher involved in the work, said: "Making cheese?allowed them to reduce the lactose content of milk, and we know that, at that time, most of the humans were not tolerant to lactose."

Milk residues have been found at ancient sites up to 8,000 years old in?Turkey?and?Libya, but there was no evidence that the milk had been processed into cheese.

Until now, the earliest evidence of?cheese-making came from depictions of milk processing in murals several thousand years younger than the pottery fragments.

The researchers believe other vessels found in the same region were used for other specific purposes. Jars lined with beeswax were probably for storing water, and pottery containing the remnants of carcass fats was probably used for cooking meat.

"It is truly remarkable, the depth of insights into ancient human diet and?food processing technologies?these ancient fats preserved in archaeological ceramics are now providing us with," said?Richard Evershed, who heads the?Bristol?team.

City's Hottest Startups To Compete At The TechCrunch Barcelona ...

Tomorrow we?ll throw a TechCrunch Mini Meetup in Barcelona, one of the most internationally-minded cities in Europe. Below you?ll find out schedule, agenda and here you can grab a free ticket to the party] as the main free event is now full. It?s because of its diversity that the city has managed to attract a burgeoning number of startup entrepreneurs wooed by the ability of the city to attract talent, in part because of the climate and lifestyle. When you can live just about anywhere and create an Internet company, you may as well do it in a fun place to live. It?s a trend we?ve seen even San Francisco succumb to, as startups move back form the rather bland campuses of the Valley to the vibrancy of the SF?s city living. And Europe?s flexible corporate laws now allow startups to be based almost anywhere.

The #TCBarcelona Meetup is now sold out (tickets were free and were widely previewed such as here) and we will be assessing 15 pre-selected startups that submitted] their credentials first in a session involving investors, and finally in an open pitching competition for the finalists. We?ll also have panels discussing how Barcelona can capitalise on its position. If London, Stockholm and Berlin are hot right now, how does Barcelona ? which really is ?hot? ? join the party?

And it?s already got the building blocks. Initiatives like District 22@, the Barcelona Tech Bridges to Silicon Valley networking events, and Barcelona.IO, have been creating a booming networking scene. That?s why we are putting together a TechCrunch Mini Meetup there. Here?s our schedule for the day:

LOCATION:
Barcelona Activa, Carrer Llacuna, 162, Barcelona [Google Map]
Please bring your ticket and photo id. The main event is completely sold out. We?re not able to let anyone in without a valid ticket (which were free).
