Chinese buying ?unprecedented? Sydney property

From Bloomie:

Home prices in Sydney could rise by as much as 10 per cent over the next 12 months, driven in part by unprecedented levels of Chinese demand, according to McGrath Estate Agents.

As much as 80 per cent of homes in parts of Sydney are being sold to Chinese buyers, John McGrath, chief executive officer of the company that recorded $7 billion of property sales in the year to June 30, said in an interview in Sydney. Record-low interest rates and the biggest influx of investors in almost a decade are also fuelling prices.

?The Chinese market is extremely strong, the strongest I?ve seen a new entrant into the market,? McGrath said. ?Record low interest rates, the ability to fix such rates for a long period of time is very attractive.?

?Chinese are buying in Australia on expectations of capital growth, to provide a home for their children attending university in the country or simply to live outside China, McGrath said. At a recent property auction in Eastwood, all 38 of the registered bidders were Asian, McGrath said. The three-bedroom house with a double lock-up garage and two sun rooms opening on to the back yard, sold for $2.39 million, more than $1 million over the reserve price, after 62 bids by eight hopeful buyers, according to the agent.

?I haven?t seen a trend like this in 30 years, in terms of a brand new demographic group entering the Australian market with so much impact as I?ve seen in the last 12 months,? McGrath said in a separate interview with Bloomberg Television.

While Sydney has been a ?stellar performer? over the past six months, the city?s house price growth rate is unsustainable, he said.

?There are long-term growth prospects but the current growth rates probably need to slow at some point soon,? McGrath, who forecasts prices could rise by between five and 10 per cent in Sydney in the next year, told Bloomberg Television.

I will remind everyone at this point of two things. First, it was Chinese money (among others) that played a major role in blowing up US housing via purchases of Treasury and GSE bonds. This held down interest rates and stoked a local investor blowoff.?So think carefully before you conclude it is a good idea to have a wave of foreign capital distort your asset markets.

Likewise, if you think it?s bad idea, take a deep breath and keep your comments civil.

NH hospital calls 8 over brain disease chances

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) ? Eight patients who may have been exposed to a fatal brain disease at a New Hampshire hospital have been contacted by the hospital's president, who said Thursday the patients aren't panicking.

Dr. Joseph Pepe called the Catholic Medical Center patients a day after health officials announced that they may have been exposed to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease ? a brain disease characterized by rapidly progressive dementia which can cause death within months after symptoms first appearing. It has no treatment or cure.

Officials believe the extremely rare disease caused the August death of a patient who had brain surgery at the hospital in May, although the cause of death won't be certain until more tests are completed. If that patient had Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, there's a remote chance it was transmitted to other brain surgery patients because the abnormal proteins that cause the disease can survive standard sterilization practices.

In addition to the eight Catholic Medical Center patients, health officials in Massachusetts said five patients there may have also been exposed because a specialized instrument used on the New Hampshire patient had been rented and reused at Cape Cod Hospital.

The Massachusetts patients have also been notified but are believed to be at low risk because they had spinal procedures, not brain surgery, the state health department said.

About 200 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are recorded annually in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health, with the vast majority occurring spontaneously. In fewer than 1 percent of cases, the disease is transmitted by exposure to brain or nervous system tissue, and there have been only four reported cases of transmission via surgical instruments. None of those were in the United States, and the most recent case was in 1976, Pepe said.

Some hospitals might opt not to tell patients because of the low risk involved and the anxiety it could create for them, Pepe said, but it was important to keep them informed.

"We felt the risk of that anxiety did not outweigh the ethical principle of letting them know and also preventing them from possibly contaminating or exposing others should they have another brain operation," Pepe said.

The only definitive way to diagnose the disease is through a brain biopsy or autopsy. There are no screening tests, and tests that would point toward a diagnosis of the disease are only effective once symptoms such as memory loss and impaired coordination appear, Pepe said.

But he said the patients he spoke to are responding to their predicament calmly. One expressed more concern the hospital or its surgeons would be harmed by the publicity over the incident, Pepe said.

"They are all fine at this point, but I let them know that they can not only call my chief medical officer and the patient advocate ... but also myself, and we will stay with them as long as they need us," he said, adding that he apologized for causing them any anxiety.

The hospital will arrange counseling sessions if any of the patients request them, he said.

"Some may get angry later on, they may have anxiety, and then there are others who do not think anything of it," he said. "One person said, 'You know, I have really many other things more concerning than this.'"

Corn maze cutter designs fall fun across country, Canada

By Allen G. Breed
The Associated Press

FUQUAY-VARINA, N.C. ? Timothy Day isn't exactly sick of corn by the end of the summer but, "If I had a penny every time I've heard, 'This is a-MAZE-ing,' I'd certainly be rich by now," he says with a chuckle.

Over the past couple of months, Day has cut more than 50 corn mazes. Someone else does the designs, but there's definitely artistry in the way he spins that steering knob.

"My paintbrush is a rototiller," Day says. "And a tractor hooked to it."

Most people associate corn mazes with Halloween, but the work starts long before October.

Day's season began the last week in June. Since then, he and his partner have been as far north as Ontario, Canada, as far south as Florida, and to "almost every state between

here and there."

"It's not out of the ordinary for us to drive 3,000 or 4,000 miles in five days and cut out 10 or 12 corn mazes in that amount of time," says Day, who lives in Edinburg, Va., and who has been doing this since 2005. "Our truck is our hotel. We actually sleep in the truck most of the time. We keep either the tractor driving or the truck driving, one or the other. One of us is driving something almost 24 hours a day."

Day cuts for Maize Quest out of New Park, Pa. Company owner Hugh McPherson says this season has been a logistical nightmare. "The rain has been sending us to scheduling haywire for the cutting crew," he says.

He and Day have to stagger the cutting schedule to catch the corn at just the right growth stage. If it's too mature, the plants will grow back in the paths he has cut.

Day likes to cut the corn when it's about waist- or chest-high, but that's not just for practical reasons. He's allergic to the corn tassels.

"Basically, anywhere that the pollen touches me, I just get a really itchy rash," says Day, who ran into that problem this year outside Memphis, Tenn. "It gets to where the pollen is so thick in your eyes ... you can feel the grit on your eyeballs and, literally, for three days my eyes will run yellow."

Once he gets to a farm, it's all fairly routine. First, he drives around the field's perimeter to establish the boundaries for the GPS system. Then he fits the design into that shape, and the computer does the rest.

"There's very little room for error in our corn mazes," he says. "They're tight-packed. The trails are close to together. So a little mistake breaks through a whole wall and changes the whole maze."

With some designs, Day ? who runs a landscaping business the rest of the year ? has to go in with a lawnmower. And occasionally he'll arrive to find that the field's not quite big enough to accommodate the artist's vision.

"And then I get to play a little bit of designer on the fly," he says. "It's kind of fun when that happens, too."

Most of the work takes place between sunup and sundown. But Day has been known to cut in the dark. "You've got to trust this more," he says, hoisting the little black box in his right hand.

Day isn't just a Maize Quest employee. He's also a client. His brother, Jonathan, runs Bridgemont Farm, a 500-acre spread in Virginia's picturesque Shenandoah Valley, where the family raises corn, soybeans and beef cattle. Day cut their design in July.

The 12-acre field is divided into two interconnected mazes ? "The Great Train Adventure," with a giant steam locomotive, and "The Dinosaur Adventure," featuring a Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex.
