Navy jet crashes into Virginia apartments, 3 unaccounted for

VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia (Reuters) - A U.S. Navy F/A-18D fighter crashed into an apartment complex in Virginia soon after takeoff on Friday, sending fireballs into the sky, damaging six buildings and injuring at least seven people.

No deaths have been reported, but three residents of the Mayfair Mews complex for the elderly were unaccounted for, authorities said.

"We have physically been in every structure, and we have 95 percent completed the search and rescue," Virginia Beach Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Tim Riley said.

All the injuries, including those to the F/A-18 crew, have so far been described as minor, officials said. Both crew members ejected safely from the aircraft before it crashed into the buildings in Virginia Beach, and one pilot was found still strapped into his ejection seat.

Four of the injured were taken to a hospital for treatment. Authorities had said nine people were injured, but later revised the number to seven, not including the pilots.

The F/A-18D "suffered a catastrophic mechanical malfunction" during a training flight, Navy Captain Mark Weisgerber said in a statement from the Pentagon.

Thick black clouds of smoke billowed into the air as fire reduced the apartment buildings to a blackened shell. The Mayfair Mews complex was less than two miles from Naval Air Station Oceana, where the F-18D was based.

Crews searched for any injured residents in five buildings, several of which have collapsed, Riley said. Three residents in one building were unaccounted for. Investigators will remain on the scene for three or four more days after the search is complete, Riley said.

Witness Kelly McQuaid, who lives near the apartment complex, said the jet was on fire before it crashed.

"It almost looked like the nose was pointed up," she said, "like he was trying to pull back up."

McQuaid said she saw one of the pilots as he was brought out on a stretcher. "He actually looked pretty well," she said. You could tell he was pretty dazed, and there were scratches on his face."

She said people closer to the scene told her that the pilot apologized for crashing the plane into the building as he was being helped.

Vicki Hoffman, who lives in a condo next door to the Mews, said one pilot landed on her neighbor's patio.

"She said she was trying to get his head gear off and said the response was very quick," she said. "He was conscious."

The distinctive, twin-finned tail section of the F/A-18D landed in the courtyard of the complex of two-story brick buildings.

Dozens of firefighters and emergency workers converged on the scene, covering the apartment complex with foam.

The plane was part of a training squadron at Oceana, the largest Navy air facility on the East Coast. It prepares Navy and Marine aviators and weapons officers for duty. About 250 aircraft are stationed at Oceana.

Admiral John Harvey Jr, commander of the U.S. Fleet Forces, praised the "heroic response" of those at the complex and emergency personnel who took care of the air crew and others at the scene.

There are 37 tactical squadrons of F-18s operating from bases worldwide and from 10 aircraft carriers. The Navy's precision air team, the Blue Angels, flies the F-18.

Virginia Beach, with 440,000 residents, is on the Atlantic Coast about 200 miles south of Washington, D.C. Much of its economy relies on tourists who come to enjoy its miles of beaches. The city is home to a complex of military bases, including Oceana, and the home of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet is next door at Norfolk, Virginia.

Toronto's Brewers Plate Serves Seasonal Food and Drink at a ...


Jamie Kennedy's Canning at Brewers Feast 2011/ Lloyd Alter/CC BY 2.0

Back in 2005, Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon started their 100 Mile Diet, on March 21. They almost starved; as they wrote in the Tyee at the time:

Then there was a lack of variety. From March 21 until the farmers' markets started in mid-May, the only locally grown vegetables available were humble fare like kale, cabbage, turnip, rutabaga, parsnip and leeks. By late April, even these ran out.

They survived of course, and went on to write the book that was one of the inspirations for the local food movements around North America. But they also learned really fast that (most years), when it comes to local, fresh food in the northern states and Canada, April is the cruelest month.


Sorry for the shakiness, the photographer was on very tall stilts/CC BY 2.0

That's why Toronto's Brewers Plate event is so impressive. The organizers pull together some of the best chefs in Toronto to produce an incredible meal from local food. Anyone can do this in September, but April in Toronto is very hard, but that is part of the point, to prove that it can be done; from their story:

Food is the harbinger of where we all need to go now. The future lies increasingly in regional self-reliance all over the world, with local living economies trading fairly, useful, durable goods, food, and good low-carbon ideas. A shift toward regional self reliance, with food leading the way for the whole economy, is our best chance to stem the rising tides of changing weather and rivers, diminishing fossil fuels, scarcities of fresh water, fish, soil - what many are now calling 'peak everything'.

They are proving that one can be self reliant, that one can cook a great meal without having to truck and fly everything in. If they can do it in April they can do it anytime. They also make the point that at anytime, there is a real direct economic benefit to shopping local:

A great, and poorly understood, benefit of giving trade to locally-owned suppliers is that the owners and their employees spend more money and pay more tax in the local regional economy, generating the economic multiplier effect that can be as high as 3 times more than the benefit of money left in local economies by non-local corporations such as chain stores. We may enjoy the imported goods, and there is room for all kinds of imports in the local economy from coffee to computers, but we also need to be aware of how a ?buy local first? policy fuels the engine of local economic resilience as we confront this deep economic crisis and end of cheap energy.

Every business at the Brewers Plate is local and independently owned, and since they are serving local food, every dollar spent stays in the local economy.


I interviewed founder Chris Lowry last year, where he explains that the whole point is to show what can be done in April.

When all food was local, people in Ontario ate a lot of meat; it was fresh all year. It is still hard to be a vegetarian locavore. The food at the Brewers Plate reflected this, and some people must have complained, because they now have a special note on the website, "more vegetarian options this year!" It will be interesting to see what they come up with. On April 18 in Toronto, more information and tickets here. This years' proceeds to Green Thumbs Growing Kids

Paradise Uruguay Blog: The real estate buying process in Uruguay


The process of selecting a property, making an offer, and closing a sale works differently in different places.?Uruguay offers a lot of exciting real estate opportunities, but it?is almost a sure bet that the real estate buying process in Uruguay has some significant differences than where you are from. The purpose of this article is to provide you with an overview of how the real estate buying process works in Uruguay, as well as provide you with specific tips to help you along the way.

Selecting a property to buy in Uruguay? Identifying available properties and making showing appointments in Uruguay takes longer and involves more people than in places that have a multiple listing service and lockbox system. When another office?s listings are shown, the listing agent usually comes along to open the property and be present for the showing. In some cases, the seller or the building?s concierge may need to be present for the showing as well.

In most cases you will receive property information verbally. Having a notebook and camera with you on your property search will help you to keep track of what you see and learn.

Since there is usually no written listing agreement, property sellers can change their asking price or change their mind about selling their property if their circumstances change. In addition, it is not customary to have any type of preliminary title investigation to determine if a property has title concerns before it is put on the market. For these reasons it is recommended to think in terms of identifying properties that will serve your buying objectives as opposed to looking for a property to fall in love with.

However, rest assured that even though there is less surety if a specific property will work out in the early stages of a transaction, once the title has been cleared and the deed is registered the rights of real estate ownership in Uruguay are very solid and secure.

Determining a property's value

A property?s list price may or may not have a correlation with its fair market value. While some properties in Uruguay are priced fairly, many properties are priced speculatively. Some properties will even have a different list price with different real estate companies.

Since there is no complete or authoritative sales data to produce a formal market analysis, a buyer needs to develop a sense of property values by studying real estate magazines, looking at posted advertisements in real estate offices, and viewing several properties so comparisons can be made.

Your first line of protection from overpaying is to choose a Uruguay real estate agent who knows the market and is looking out for your best interest.

Cost per square meter can be a useful general comparison tool. The ranges of cost per square meter will be different for single-family homes than for apartments. There will also be differences in cost per square meter based on the age and condition of a home or building, as well as the location, view, amenities, and services.

Be aware that the floor area quoted by the listing agent may be an estimate and should be verified. Also, it is common practice for listing agents to include garages, balconies, and patios in the floor space.

If a property becomes a finalist in your investment search, and the cost per square meter is a determining factor of its value for your decision, measure the floor area to make your own comparisons.

As your search narrows to similar properties in the same area, you will soon get a sense of value by making comparisons between the properties you view. You?ll be able to tell the properties that stand out as being over- priced and properties that seem like a good value for your objectives.

If you are shopping for an investment, a property?s capitalization rate will give you a basis for comparison. ?(Be sure to verify income and expense records.)

Due Diligence

Your first visit to a property for sale will give you the opportunity to see the neighborhood, the floor plan, the property's features and finishes so you can form a general impression. Taking notes and pictures will help you remember what you saw.

Getting detailed property information is important but can be very time consuming in Uruguay. Start with general questions that will help you make comparisons with other properties. Then, after narrowing the field to properties that are of serious interest, take the time to ask more detailed and specific questions.

Determining ownership costs
Before you make your offer, it is prudent to verify the building?s floor area; find the amount of homeowner?s dues; and learn if the homeowner?s association has reserves, upcoming special assessments, and current or pending lawsuits. If you are buying an apartment, much of this information is available from the administration company that manages the building.

It is also a good idea to check the cost of utilities and property taxes. If you cannot get the property tax information from the owner or administration company, the property?s municipal values which are used to determine tax rates are available at the local Direcci?n Nacional de Catastro.

Determining quality
Besides depending on your own observations, you may want to hire an architect to assess a structure?s quality and condition. In the case of an apartment, you may hire an architect to assess both the building and the apartment of interest.

On newly constructed apartments, the reputation of the architect and the builder are used as quality indicators. Most experienced real estate agents will know about a particular team?s reputation.

Determining the cost of refurbishing, remodeling, or construction
If the property you want to buy will need refurbishing, remodeling, or construction, it is a good idea to consult with an architect regarding the feasibility and cost of your plans. An architect cannot provide a precise cost estimate without a deep inspection and details of the work to be done, but an architect can often provide their opinion of a cost range to help provide a buyer with some perspective to help in the buying decision.

Retaining previous tenants
When you are selecting a property to purchase that you intend to use as a vacation rental, it is a good idea to find out who has been managing the property in the past. It is not uncommon for a couple, family, or group to rent the same house or apartment year after year. By keeping the same property management company, you may retain the property?s repeat tenants.

Making an Offer

Negotiations and offers to purchase are usually conducted verbally. Offers and counteroffers are passed between the buyer and seller through their respective agents or through the listing agent if he or she is handling both sides of the transaction. In resort areas, furniture and household items are frequently negotiated to be included in the sale.

When a verbal agreement is reached between the parties, it is put in writing on the Boleto de Reserva (Reservation Ticket), which is usually prepared by the buyer's escribano. The Boleto de Reserva documents the parties to the transaction, the subject property, price, terms of sale, closing date, and real estate commissions.

The Boleto de Reserva becomes binding when all parties to the transaction have signed and the buyer has put up a 10% deposit that will be held by the escribano. If the buyer does not speak Spanish, the Boleta de Reserva needs to be read to the buyer in his or her own language by a translator.

Power of Attorney

In many cases, a foreign buyer?s schedule will prevent him or her from being in Uruguay for all the steps of the transaction and will give a?Poder de Representaci?n?( a?specific power of attorney) to a friend, real estate agent, or attorney in Uruguay to act on their behalf. The power of attorney in Uruguay is a registered and taxed document that is required to be read by a translator to a non-Spanish speaker. It is prepared by the escribano and has a published fee schedule of around 250 US dollars, although prices between different escribanos often vary.

Be aware that in Uruguay, there can also be a fee to terminate the power of attorney, after it has served its purpose. Sometimes this fee is as high (or higher) than the cost of the power of attorney in the first place. To avoid this expense ask about getting a power of attorney with a built-in expiration date.


The Closing Process

In most transactions, the buyer hires and pays for the escribano?s services, which are commonly 3% of the purchase price. Many real estate agents will recommend a favorite escribano who may or may not speak English, in which case you will either need to ask your bilingual real estate agent to act as an interpreter or hire an interpreter.

A real estate agent may steer you toward a particular escribano because they are exceptionally good, or it could be that a particular escribano gives the real estate agent a hefty finder?s fee for referring business. You are the one who will pay the excribano?s fee and it is your property title that is at stake. Take time to select a good escribano who comes recommended by other English speaking expats who have used their services.

It is the seller?s responsibility to deliver a set of ownership documents showing the property?s chain of title to the escribano hired by the buyer. The documents include a set of building plans and the seller?s deed. (It is likely that the seller?s title documents will not be checked for completeness until after an offer has been accepted.)

The escribano will investigate the title going back 30 years. In addition to examining the seller?s documents, the escribano will visit several government offices to check for any liens or encumbrances against the property or the seller. Once the title is shown to be free of any encumbrances, the escribano prepares the Escritura de Compra Venta (Purchase Deed).

The closing process is normally completed in 30 days from the date of the signing of the Boleto de Reserva but may take longer if there are liens or issues to be resolved.

The next step in the process is the closing itself where the money is transferred and the Escritura de Compra Venta is signed by both parties.?It is important that the buyer has made arrangements for the purchase proceeds to be delivered in the right place, in the right currency, at the right time.

There may not be a single settlement statement with an account of all disbursements relating to the transaction. The Purchase Deed, however, contains a receipt for the value of the property itself or for the amount actually paid on closure, assuming some payments are to be paid later in quotas. However, it is prudent for a buyer to make sure they have a receipt of all monies paid before leaving the closing table.

Just before closing, the escribano has the Real Estate Property Registry (Registro de la Propiedad Inmueble) block the property from the registration of any liens or encumbrances for 30 days. During this time, the escribano pays all the taxes and registers the deed.

The original purchase deed is held by the escribano in his Protocol and he files a certified copy with the Property Register. The buyer can ask the escribano for a photocopy of the signed deed at closing. If for some reason the buyer needs an official copy, he will need to ask the escribano for a certified copy (testimonio). Registration of the purchase deed is normally completed within 20 days.

(AP) ? Smiling passengers voiced relief and gratitude after safely leaving a fire-damaged luxury cruise ship that was stranded at sea for 24 hours and limped without air-conditioning into a Malaysian port Sunday.

The Azamara Quest drifted off the southern Philippines with 1,000 people aboard after flames engulfed one of its engine rooms Friday, injuring five crew members. It restored propulsion the next night and reached the harbor of Sandakan city in Malaysia's eastern state of Sabah on Borneo island late Sunday.

Two ambulances came out of the port shortly after the ship docked, followed more than two hours later around midnight by a fleet of buses taking passengers to hotels. Inside the buses, several people appeared tired, but many others smiled and one man waved to reporters waiting outside the port.

Malaysian police and consular officials from countries including the U.S., Britain and Canada were also present.

"I'm glad I'm safe," ship passenger Dorothy Irvine, a retired school principal from Toronto, told reporters at a Sandakan hotel. "The Azamara crew kept us informed all the time and went beyond the call of duty. The captain was phenomenal."

Margaret Whawell, of Melbourne, Australia, said there had been "no panic, no chaos, everything was under control."

It was the latest in a series of accidents hitting luxury cruise liners since January, when the Costa Concordia capsized off the coast of Italy, killing 32 people.

Port officials stopped journalists from approaching the Azamara Quest on Sunday because of what a Malaysian agent for the ship's operator said was part of the company's instructions.

"Everything is normal except that it's very hot there because there is no air conditioning," New Zealand Deputy High Commissioner Brian Smythe told reporters before the passengers disembarked. "The New Zealanders I spoke to are fine. They were well taken care of."

The fire on the Azamara Quest had been extinguished immediately, but five crew members suffered smoke inhalation, including one who was seriously injured and needed hospital care, the ship's operator has said.

A Sandakan hospital staff member said a Guatemalan man was being treated, but could not give other details.

The 11-deck vessel, which features a casino, spa and shopping boutiques, was carrying 590 passengers and 411 crew members. Over one-third, or 201, of the passengers were American, according to lists of passenger and crew nationalities provided by the ship captain to the Philippine coast guard.

The passengers from 25 countries also included 98 from Britain, 89 from Australia, 45 from Canada, 39 from Germany, 32 from Austria, 16 from Belgium, 14 from New Zealand and 14 from Switzerland.

Azamara Club Cruises, the ship's Miami, Florida-based operator, said in a statement earlier Sunday that the ship was sailing at a top speed of only 6 knots (11 kilometers or 6.9 miles per hour) to reach Sandakan.

Company president Larry Pimentel is expected to meet with the passengers and crew in Sandakan by Monday.

Engineers on Saturday morning restored electricity in the ship to re-establish essentials including running water, plumbing, refrigeration and food preparation, the company said.

The company said the rest of the cruise would be canceled. It said it would fully refund the passengers and provide each guest with a future cruise certificate for the amount paid for the aborted voyage. Azamara Club Cruises is part of Miami-based Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.

Passengers have been given several options for what to do in the next few days, such as fly home through Singapore, said Smythe, the New Zealand diplomat.

The crew includes 119 Filipinos, 58 Indians and 50 Indonesians. The vessel left Hong Kong on Monday for what was supposed to be a 17-day Southeast Asian cruise. It made a port call in Manila and left for Sandakan on Thursday. It had been scheduled to make several stops in Indonesia before arriving in Singapore on April 12.

Instead, the Philippine coast guard said it drifted Saturday in the Sulu Sea about 130 kilometers (70 nautical miles) south of the Philippines' Tubbataha Reef. The area lies between the Philippines and the island of Borneo, which is divided between Malaysia and Indonesia.

A month after 32 people died when the Costa Concordia ran aground and capsized off the western coast of Italy in January, a fire on the Costa Allegra left that ship without power and adrift in waters known to be prowled by pirates in the Indian Ocean for three days.

Both Costa ships are part of Costa Crociere, SpA, a subsidiary of Carnival Corp., the world's largest cruise operator.
