TECHNOLOGY TO PLAY MAJOR ROLE IN TACKLING GLOBAL DISEASE AND BATTLING CLIMATE CHANGE
Stressing that “ideas, flexibility and entrepreneurship” are even more important than donating money, Larry Brilliant, Executive Director of Google.org, the philanthropic wing of the highly successful and famous search engine, said that their charitable arm has donated about $150MM to charitable organizations since 2004 and allotted about $350MM in online ad space to not-for-profit organizations. Google Maps and News technology are used to track disease outbreaks globally to help avoid epidemics. He also told about Google.org’s tackling climate change, and said, “Global warming is something that happens to all of us. We are in this together. It’s critically important for corporations to step up. Organizations, he said, such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Carter Center and Rockefeller Foundation have the potential to do even more.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES - LACK OF FINANCING AND BUDGET CUT PROBLEMS
DAYJET CEASES SERVICE to 60 regional destinations. Lack of growth capital was the reason for shutting down, according to the President of the firm. The company was unable to arrange financing. PALM TRAN HAS REDUCED its schedule and trimmed some routes in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Boynton Beach. THE BOCA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL HAS PUT A HOLD ON plans to build a new facility on the FAU campus.

FLAGER'S PERSONAL RAIL CAR ON DISPLAY IN PALM BEACH
Henry Morrison Flagler’s personal rail car, built in 1886, is now on view, and you can walk through the new 8100 sq ft Pavilion at the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach to see it. The railway car has been restored to its original appearance, using records from the National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian, the Delaware State Archives and the Hagley Museum and Library in Delaware. See the salon, master bedroom and bath, guest quarters and kitchen. The car is called “A Palace on Wheels.” See the fine appointments, including the oak paneling and desk. Flagler traveled by this railcar in 1912 along the Overseas Railway to Key West to celebrate completion of the FEC Railway, a phenomenal engineering feat. This is the first public Beaux-Arts style building built in the US in 60 years. Its design is consistent with Whitehall, which was completed in 1902. The Museum’s Pavilion Café is also in the building. Flagler owned much of the land along both sides of the hundreds of miles of track, and has been called “Florida’s Godfather.” For more information, go to http://www.flaglermuseum.us/ or call 561-655-2833.

PENINSULA BOYNTON BEACH DEVELOPER IN BANKRUPTCY
Waterbrook Peninsula LLC has filed for bankruptcy. Your editor recently visited the project and took these photos. The property is on a small peninsula with water on three sides, on Federal Highway and the intracoastal waterway. It was planned to have 40 luxury condos, 20 town homes and 10 large single family homes. Construction is almost complete on the condos and single family homes but town homes have been delayed. This bankruptcy, where National City Bank foreclosed on a $26-MM mortgage, highlights the down market conditions.

KEEP IN MIND WHEN GETTING A MORTGAGE, THAT YOU GET MORE PROPERTY FOR THE MONEY WITH A LOWER RATE.
Rates on 30-Year Mortgages Jump
Freddie Mac, the mortgage company, reported Thursday that 30-year fixed-rate mortgages averaged 6.32 percent this week. That was sharply up from 6.09 percent last week.
It was the highest level for 30-year mortgages since they averaged 6.33 percent for the week of Oct. 25.
Analysts attributed the big jump to increased concerns in financial markets that the Federal Reserve might be preparing to start raising interest rates in order to make sure that inflation does not get out of control.
MORTGAGE RATE TREND INDEX
Most experts (71 percent) polled by Bankrate.com generally expect mortgage rates to continue rising over the next 30 to 45 days. However, 21 percent expect rates to go down while only 8 percent predict no change over the same time span.
Perhaps NOW is the time to buy… more and more listings are showing price RISES, not DROPS. These are indications that there is an uptrend RIGHT NOW.
