Irish house prices are now rising at a faster rate than in nearly every other European Union country.
According to the latest Eurostat figures, house prices here rose by 4.1 per cent in the third quarter of last year compared with the previous quarter.
This was the second-highest rate of acceleration recorded across the EU, eclipsed only by Estonia where prices jumped by 5.3 per cent.
Compared with the second quarter of 2013, house prices rose by 0.6 per cent in the euro area and by 0.7 per cent in EU in a sign that economic recovery was slowly gathering pace.
On an annual basis, house prices fell by 1.3 per cent in the euro zone and by 0.5 per cent in the EU in the third quarter compared with the same quarter of 2012.
The quarterly gain was the strongest since a 1.1 per cent increase in the second quarter of 2011, while the annual drop was the smallest since the fourth quarter of 2011.
Among the EU member states for which data are available, the highest annual increases in house prices in the third quarter of 2013 were recorded in Estonia (+11.1 per cent), Luxembourg (+6.5 per cent) and Latvia (+6.2 per cent), with the largest falls in Croatia (-16.9 per cent), Cyprus (-8.0 per cent) and Spain (-6.4 per cent).
The highest quarterly increases in the third quarter of 2013 were recorded in Estonia (+5.3 per cent), Ireland (+4.1 per cent), and the United Kingdom (+2.5 per cent), with the largest declines recorded in Slovenia (-4.0 per cent), Denmark (-3.3 per cent) and Romania (-2.4 per cent).
Meanwhile, mortgage lenders in the UK reported that last month was their strongest December since 2007.
Some £17 billion worth of mortgages were advanced to customers last month, up 49 per cent on the same month a year ago when £11.4 billion worth of loans were issued, according to a report from the UK’s Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML).
It was also the highest total for a December month since 2007, the CML added.

The US reportedly killed an Ansar al Sharia official yesterday in a drone strike in an area of eastern Yemen that has been overrun by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). Ma’moun Abdulhamid Hatem was allegedly among four jihadists killed in the city of Mukallah in the eastern province of Hadramout.
Hatem’s purported death has not been confirmed by the group.
Hatem’s demise was first announced by jihadists on Twitter. “Urgent – the martyrdom of Ma’mun Hatim an #Ansar_al-Sharia senior official along with three others during the latest airstrike in Al Mukalla #Hadramawt,” one jihadist tweeted yesterday.
Yemeni officials later confirmed the drone strike took place just outside of the presidential palace in Mukallah. The remotely piloted Predators or Reapers fired several missiles at a vehicle outside of the palace, according to Agence France Presse (AFP). The other three jihadists said to have been killed in the attack were identified as Abu Anwar al Kutheiri, Mohammed Saleh al Gharabi, and Mabkhout Waqash al Sayeri, the Associated Press reported.
Hatem was previously targeted in a strike on March 3, 2014. Three AQAP fighters were killed in that attack, but Hatem survived.
The city of Mukallah was overrun by AQAP’s forces in early April of this year. Ansar al Sharia is AQAP’s political front group.
AQAP has taken advantage of the collapse of the Yemeni government after Iranian-backed Houthi rebels surged throughout much of northern, eastern, and central Yemen, including into the capital of Sana’a and the southeastern port city of Aden. [See LWJ report, Al Qaeda takes control of eastern Yemeni city.]
The US has launched seven drone strikes in Yemen since the beginning of 2015. In the strikes launched this year, the US has killed Hatem (assuming reports of his death are accurate) and three other senior AQAP leaders and ideologues: Harith bin Ghazi al Nadhari, Ibrahim Suleiman al Rubaish, and Nasser bin Ali al Ansi.
The last three strikes have occurred in Hadramout. Hatem, Ansi, and Rubaish were killed in those bombings, indicating that the US has access to solid intelligence on AQAP’s network in the province.
Rubaish, Nadhari and Ansi were all more senior within AQAP’s ranks than Hatem. And Hatem differed from his AQAP colleagues when it came to the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. AQAP’s most influential ideologues did not support Abu Bakr al Baghdadi’s decision to proclaim himself the caliph. But Hatem initially did.
Hatem was the Islamic State’s most zealous supporter within AQAP. Hatem frequently used his Twitter feed, which has been suspended multiple times, to sing the Islamic State’s praises. Hatem even encouraged Baghdadi to proclaim himself the new caliph before the Islamic State’s caliphate announcement in late June 2014.
But when the Islamic State announced its expansion into several countries, including Yemen, in November 2014, Hatem did not join Baghdadi’s followers. [See LWJ report, Analysis: Islamic State snuff videos help to attract more followers.]
Indeed, Hatem refused to endorse the group of unknown “mujahideen” in Yemen who swore allegiance to Baghdadi on Nov. 10, 2014. In a series of more than 20 tweets published at the time, Hatem admitted that he tried to get AQAP to switch allegiances from al Qaeda emir Ayman al Zawahiri to Baghdadi. But Hatem explained that he failed for a number of reasons. And he said that the Islamic State’s growth in Yemen would only exacerbate the many difficulties AQAP faced inside the country. Given that AQAP is hunted by the US while also embroiled in a vicious fight against the Houthis, Hatem argued the Islamic State’s announced expansion was not helpful for the jihadists’ cause.
Hatem explained that he still wants the Islamic State to expand the territory under its control, including to parts of the Arabian Peninsula. But he didn’t want Baghdadi to do so in a way that further divides the jihadists. Hatem said the men loyal to Baghdadi inside Yemen include “students,” but offered few other details.
Hatem played other roles inside Yemen as well. In a video posted on YouTube in October 2014, he rallied his Sunni audience to fight the Houthis. “If we do not suppress them [the Houthis] at the beginning, this will be a problem,” Hatem argued, according to a translation obtained by The Long War Journal.
The Islamic State has accused AQAP of being lax in the fight against the Houthis. In reality, the two jihadist organizations have different rules of engagement. AQAP has claimed responsibility for far more attacks on Houthis in the past six months than the Islamic State has. Whereas AQAP attempts to focus its violence on Houthi military and security targets, the Islamic State is more willing to terrorize Houthi civilians. [See LWJ report, Analysis: Why AQAP quickly denied any connection to mosque attacks.]

Keep on killing, DRONES. Doesn’t matter it’s Houthis, AQAP or ISIS. They are all cockroaches need to be exterminated for the saftey of human race.
“The last three strikes have occurred in Hadramout. Hatem, Ansi, and Rubaish were killed in those bombings, indicating that the US has access to solid intelligence on AQAP’s network in the province.” This statement would indicate that the US has reestablished its intelligence capabilities, assuming they were ever lost with the overthrow of the Yemeni government as was reported at that time.
It would be interesting to see both organizations fighting each other rather than just disagree. On tactics. If “IS” were to dominate the Jihadist arena, it would not be surprising to see a shift in political structure to “aqap”. How IS sees attacking civilians as productive to their cause is beyond me. AQ learned that attacking civilians was bad for business with Zarqawi in Iraq. Overall With so many groups operating and communicating using widely available technology. Where the hell is NSA? Communication is key. Extremist Twitter feeds are made widely available online if one only looks. I am at a loss why communication between all these groups is not being more carefully exploited. If i were asked what i would want to see, it would be to see AQAP/IS reverting back to hand written notes passed along by donkey ridden by an Ass.
Does anyone know where the drones are from, since the CIA left the base in Yemen?
If someone did have that information I would ask them to refrain from answering.
@Jeff, This might help answer the question.
The ARGUS-IS, or the Autonomous Real-Time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance Imaging System, is a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) project contracted to BAE Systems.
ARGUS is an advanced camera system that uses hundreds of cellphone cameras in a mosaic to video and auto-track every moving object within a 36 square mile area.
ARGUS is a form of Wide Area Persistent Surveillance that allows for one camera to provide such detailed video that users can collect “pattern-of-life” data and track individual people inside the footage anywhere within the field of regard. This is accomplished by utilizing air assets (manned aircraft, drones, blimps, aerostats) to persistently loiter and record video of an area 36 square miles in diameter with enough detail to track individual pedestrians, vehicles or other objects of interest as long as the air asset remains circling above. Automated object-tracking software called Persistics from the Lawrence Livermore labs allows users to auto-track every moving object within the field of regard (36 sq miles) and generate geolocation chronographs of each individual vehicle and pedestrian’s movements, making them searchable via geolocation query.
As ARGUS floats overhead for months at a time, it dragnet tracks every moving person and vehicle and chronographs their movements, allowing forensic investigators to rewind the footage and watch the activities of anyone they select within the footage.
In early 2014, the ARGUS-IS achieved initial operating capability (IOC) with the U.S. Air Force as part of Gorgon Stare Increment 2, giving the MQ-9 Reaper the ability to survey an area of 100 km2 (39 sq mi).——————-

PBS did a documentary called “Rise of the drones”, where this system is profiled. Id like to add that in the PBS video. It was said and shown that it can see objects as small as 6″ across. Can you imagine what the classified version does and what can be compiled after a year or two? Thats a lot of information to store and sort through. What comes after GIGAbyte?
I am unclear why you would say that about the Houthis, or why in the name of heaven you would put them in the same category as Al Qaeda or ISIS….

The Lagos State Government on Sunday said it had spent N1billion to support no fewer than 400 graduate farmers to set up their own farms.
Gbolahan Lawal, Commissioner for Agriculture and Co-operatives, said in Lagos that the beneficiaries were those trained under the state’s Agricultural Youths Empowerment Scheme(AGRIC-YES).
“The support is to give them a headstart in their farming businesses. We are currently operating a modern farm settlement scheme in Araga, Epe area of Lagos, where graduates are trained in different areas of agriculture under our AGRIC-YES programme.
“No fewer than 400 graduates, divided into four groups, are being exposed to practical and sustainable ways of practising aquaculture, poultry and crop cultivation, among others, using modern, fully automated equipment,” he said.
The commissioner said that the essence of the programme was to create a generation of modern farmers, while creating job opportunities and promoting food security.
“In the last one year, the state government has spent more than N1billion in form of inputs, tractors, cash and other essentials, to enable the graduates set up their own farms,” he said.
Lawal said that the programme was fully residential, adding that the government only recently inaugurated 200 units of two-bedroom apartments at the programme site, to improve the living standards of participants.
He said that the state government was committed to the food security of the state, saying that AGRIC YES was one of the efforts of government to demonstrate that.
Lawal noted that Lagos was a top producer of poultry and that the government was assisting farmers to boost poultry production.
“Maize is one of the major ingredients used in poultry feed mill and in order to ensure that farmers have all year supply of this ingredient for their animals, the government sells directly to them at subsidised prices.
“We have a poultry estate in Erikorodo in Ikorodu and the government is upgrading facilities and even providing more to boost production,” “he said.
Lawal said that government was also assisting fishermen in coastal communities of Ojo, Badagry and other parts, with boats and other inputs needed in their fishing business.
The Commissioner added that the state government had recently acquired land in Osun and Abuja for livestock and crop production.

Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor keep talking sh*t
63rd Jio Filmfare Awards 2018: Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Dia Mirza and Arjun Kapoor come together for an epic selfie
One of these priceless moments was that shared between Ranbir Kapoor and his co-stars Dia Mirza and Alia Bhatt. The hunk, who will be seen sharing screen-space with Dia in the Dutt biopic, came together for a selfie along with his ‘Brahmastra’ co-star and Best Actress nominee of the night, Alia. Joining the three for the picture was good friend Arjun Kapoor.
Going by this picture, the stars sure seemed to have had a wonderful time bonding with each other apart from enjoying the award show and cheering for the winners.
Apart from that, the 43-year-old is a hands-on mother too. She strikes the right balance between her social and personal life.
Karisma was recently spotted on an outing with her kids Samiera Kapoor and Kiaan Raj Kapoor. Giving them company, was Lolo's close pal Amrita Arora with her kids Rayaan Ladak, Azaan Ladak.
The yummy mummies certainly seem to be having a ball with their kids.
Bipasha, who is currently in Dubai, took to Instagram to share a picture with her "fellow Bengali" Sush and captioned it, "Celebrating with the fellow bengali @sushmitasen47 in Dubai"
The ladies, both sporting sunnies, are all smiles for the camera.
While Bipasha is seen wearing a military green studded jacket, Sushmita looks cool in a jersey.
Malaika Arora recently took to her Instagram handle and shared a few pictures with her girl gang- Kareena Kapoor Khan, Karisma Kapoor and sister Amrita Arora.
The girls sure seem to be having a gala time, partying it up in style as they always do.
Bebo and Lolo chose to go black and white, with the former opting for a crop top, loose pants and a cape of sorts and the latter opting for a retro look in a black one-shoulder top and polka dot skirt.
Malaika wore a shimmery maroon dress and Amrita went all black.
Also spotted at the party was Karan Johar, who was seen posing with Malaika and Kareena.
Recently, Raveena took to Instagram to share a picture with Rani with the caption that read, “Landed in time for my baby’s baby ka happy birthday 😂😂🎂🎂#happpiestbirthdayy🍻🍰 my dear #adira! I love birthday parties! Fab host Rani!”
In the selfie, Rani and Raveena share a warm hug. Raveena is seen clad in a blue floral top and Rani sports a red top.
Rani hosted a grand party for her darling daughter Adira on her second birthday on December 9, 2017.

There’s much talk about teaching machines to write music in very human-like ways. The AI Song Contest featured teams from Europe and Australia trying to write a song that would work in a real-world Eurovision situation. The winners were from Australia who got their machine to write this.
Pleasant–for a machine. But I think that says more about the state of synth pop than the music writing abilities of AI.

LINCOLN — The attorney for condemned double-murderer Carey Dean Moore alleged Thursday that state officials were seeking to psychologically “torture” his client by pursuing a “sham” execution they could not carry out.
The allegation comes a day after state officials revealed they don't have a usable supply of a controversial lethal-injection drug, sodium thiopental.
Moore, sentenced to die for the execution-style murders of two Omaha cabdrivers in 1979, had been scheduled to be executed June 14. The execution was postponed after Moore's attorney raised legal questions about the quality of sodium thiopental the state had imported from a pharmaceutical outlet in India in January.
It was learned Wednesday that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration informed state corrections officials April 11 that Nebraska lacked authority to import controlled substances such as sodium thiopental, a powerful sedative that is the first of three drugs administered in lethal injection executions.
Despite that notice, the Nebraska Attorney General's Office sought and obtained a death warrant for Moore 10 days later.
Moore's attorney, Jerry Soucie, stated in a legal motion Thursday that seeking an execution when you know you don't have the ability to carry it out is a “sham” execution prohibited by the Eighth Amendment, which bars cruel and unusual punishment.
“It could have no other effect than to subject Moore to unnecessary uncertainty, suffering and psychological torture regarding his fate,” Soucie wrote.
He stated that the matter could provide new grounds for halting Moore's execution.
The Attorney General's Office did not respond to phone messages left Thursday. But an official said Wednesday that the office did not think it was necessary to inform the Nebraska Supreme Court about the problem.
Chief Deputy Attorney General David Cookson said the office was confident the state would either obtain a new supply of sodium thiopental or be able to rectify the problem with the drugs already purchased.
“As a result, we had nothing to inform the court,” he said. “We felt we were in a position to have the drugs.”
He said that by Wednesday, the state had determined it could not use the Indian drugs and was in the process of buying a new supply of sodium thiopental from a foreign source.
If Moore's execution is carried out, he will be the first in Nebraska to die by lethal injection.
The Legislature adopted lethal injection in 2009 following a Nebraska Supreme Court ruling that declared the electric chair unconstitutional.
Moore, 53, was sentenced to die in 1979 but has won several stays of that sentence.
A spokeswoman for the Nebraska Department of Corrections said the agency was approved for a federal drug import permit May 25.
Dawn Renee Smith, the spokeswoman, said the agency was “on track” to obtain a new supply of sodium thiopental by the scheduled June 14 execution.
After the execution was delayed, officials decided to “take additional time to carefully weigh all the options” and be “more selective” about potential suppliers.
Smith said no decision has been made about what to do with the drugs purchased in January from India. She said the DEA has said they could be destroyed by the state crime lab if necessary.
Moore's attorney, in court papers filed Thursday, indicated that the DEA had informed correction officials May 26 that it would be receiving a “letter of admonition” for failing to obtain the proper permits to import the drug from India.
The DEA also asked the state to confirm that it had turned over its Indian sodium thiopental to the Nebraska State Patrol crime lab to be destroyed.

My 8-year-old nephew went to his first Philadelphia Eagles game on Sunday. Like me – and his two brothers – he was systematically brainwashed by a relative before he knew any better. At a certain age, he received Eagles merchandise for birthdays and Christmases. In 1995, a Randall Cunningham wrestling doll sat in my room. I threw passes to myself in the backyard, wearing my Hutch uniform set. It was because I liked the colors and because my relatives in Pennsylvania provided gifts of the kind. The pattern isn't coincidence.
On Sunday, he saw a win over the Washington football team at his first game. My experience was the same. It happened against the same team and it happened with the same result. The connection between my nephews and I will always involve the Eagles. It was my doing. There was a reason behind it.
It’s not easy to be an Eagles fan and most of the time it causes frustration. They aren’t the Steelers and they aren’t the Packers. Most other fans despise them and there is nothing since 1960 to show for their efforts. Why would I put that on my nephews? Why would I put something in family members’ lives that could bring them harm? The reason why is simple – because no matter what happened in my life, the Eagles were there. The Eagles are always there.
These three nephews – aged 8, 11 and 14 – are at the start of their lives. The eldest will start high school next year. His individuality will start to take its full form soon. Excitement and disappointment will come to him in ways that he’ll feel like no one will understand. He’ll yearn for independence amidst his confusion with life. Soon after, his brothers will do the same.
Before my high school experience, the most traumatic experience in my life had already taken place. At 11, I watched my father die suddenly before my very own eyes. Nothing would prove as difficult. Nothing ever will. High school was fine for me in some ways and awful in others. The rest of my life has been fine in some ways and awful in others. I guess that’s the way it goes. At least that experience gave me some perspective.
Through it all, I was an Eagles fan. To this day, I’m an Eagles fan. Nearly every Sunday since I was a child, I’ve watched them. I’ve seen the good and the bad. They’ve hurt me and they’ve made me feel like the richest man on earth. Some will say it’s foolish to invest that much in a football team. There were times I would agree. But when I look back and see it all in its entirety, it’s easy to appreciate what being a fan really means. The team I love is always there. They never really leave. When they go on hiatus sometime in winter, I know they’ll be back again. They always come back.
That’s why I engrained the love into my nephews’ heads as much as I could. They’ve taken to it, which makes me a very happy – and proud – man. This season, when my life wasn’t what I thought it ought to be, I went to their home and watched the games. Sometimes, my eyes welled up. Sometimes, I felt like I was looking at my young self through my own eyes.
We pass down teams because we know they instill something in us that is the very best. Our dedication is always rewarded with another game or another season. In the vacuum of sports, the teams are the constants – for the most part. Players leave, retire or get injured. Coaches succeed, retire or get fired. Stadiums are remodeled, torn down and rebuilt. But the team – whether in kelly green or midnight green – is still there.
This isn’t the case in life. Job opportunities come and go. Aside from very close friends and family, people fade away. They either die or tell you you’re not good enough or just vanish after periods of disconnect. Those boys will love and lose and there will come a time in that process when you’d hope they realize grieving is all one can do. Life is a wonderful thing filled with greatness, but there are times where you can’t help but get bleary-eyed and contemplate why you are where you are and why things transpire the way they do.
It’s complex and it’s deep. Some rely on faith. Others lean on support groups. There are those who never learn how to process emotions and lack acceptance. They are not at fault. It takes a tremendous amount of strength to navigate this sometimes-sordid universe. Men and women grow old and look back at situations that made them lose sanity, knowing there was no other way to deal with it.
The Eagles will never leave me. If they do, it will be a monumental occasion that will likely turn me to another team or another sport. They will not tell me I’m not good enough or that I’m too selfish. I can point as many fingers at the Eagles as I’d like and they will never point one back at me. It’s a one-way relationship. I can pound on them for the pain or embrace them for the happiness. On the other side, it’s also one-way because I cannot affect the outcome of their games no matter how many superstitions I create. They will make me laugh and they will make me cry. Their losses teach me acceptance and their wins teach me very little. Instead, victories remind me how happy I can be. They make me the best person I can be at a given moment.
This love, this wild and twisted love affair with a football team seems silly to most. Some may find it repulsive or childish. I pay that no mind. There’s nothing that comes between myself and the Eagles. For better or for worse, in sickness and in health, they are mine. They will never stand me up and they will always kickoff when their schedule tells me they will. They let me yell and scream and go crazy and they never judge me or tell me to change. Even if I am late for kickoff – and I’m never late for kickoff – they won’t hold it against me.
More than once in my life, someone close to me has told me I care too much about sports. My heart’s power rankings are clear and transparent. My mother and family are first and the Eagles are second. I once dated someone who saw the ESPN commercial with an Eagles fan. The commercial (below) showed the fan as a kid. As he grew up, he still wore his gear. He was with a different girl every time. At the end, he’s in his Eagles shirt with only his dog.
The night this person I loved ended our relationship she said, “You’re going to end up just like that guy in the commercial – alone with your dog watching sports.”
It stuck with me. It hurt, but it was fair. My dog died last year. Aside from that, she might be right. There’s no way to know if someone will end up in my life who loves me for me. I’m hopeful that happens, but there are no guarantees and no prediction will make it true. Maybe I will end up alone watching the Eagles play.
Or maybe my nephews will come over and watch the games. I’d like to envision a life where I can gather around my television with the three of them and watch the game and forget about our jobs and our love lives and the goods and the bads. I’d want to sit with them and enjoy what is ours and will always be there regardless of situation.
In the backseat of the car, my nephew recited the things I recited as a kid. He replaced the names I used with the names on the current roster. “Foles throws it to Jackson who pitches it back to McCoy who tosses it back to Celek…..and it’s a touchdown!”
According to his father, he did this all the way home. Maybe one day, his son will do the same thing. One can only hope children grow up with something to believe in, something that will teach about wins and losses and heartbreak and joy. No matter who or what disappears from our lives, the teams will go on. The fan will always have his team and his team will have their fan. It’s a marriage of passion and pride. It’s a match made in heaven.
The funny thing about the aforementioned comment is that if I’m alone watching the Eagles one day, I won’t really be alone. They might let me down, but they’ll never throw me out. We all need something to be there for us. Who’s to say it can’t be a sports team?
Who’s to say it shouldn’t be?
Sports are all I know. Writing came naturally. Sports writer by night & sports writer by night. Philosophy major who thinks the unexamined sport is not worth watching. Always for hire, never for sale. I believe that silence is the virtue of fools and I can't hear you.

there are also many theories that
attempt to relate the functioning of human consciousness to structures
at the molecular level, and even to the very strange effects of the
quantum physics of the infinitely small. As scientific methods for
investigating the infinitely small become more refined, more and more
mechanisms will likely be discovered below the neuronal level, and it
will be no surprise if some of these new mechanisms are indeed found to
have an effect on human consciousness.
One molecule that may well play a role in the mechanisms of consciousness is the NMDA receptor. This large protein molecule takes the form of a channel passing through the neuronal membrane and serves as the binding site for glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter released into the synapses of a great many neurons. Once released into the synaptic gap, glutamate binds to the postsynaptic neuron’s NMDA receptor, causing this channel to open and thus initiating a whole series of biochemical reactions that make this synapse more efficient.
NMDA receptors thus act as critical components in the mechanism by which neurons form lasting associations by strengthening their connections with one another, thus creating what are known as neuronal assemblies. These assemblies occupy a prominent place in many neurobiological models of consciousness, so it seems entirely reasonable to assign the NMDA receptor molecule a significant role in the conscious processes of the human brain.

En Banc. Dolliver, J. Callow, C.j., Utter, Brachtenbach, Andersen, Smith, and Guy, JJ., and Cunningham and Wieland, JJ. Pro Tem., concur. Dore and Durham, JJ., did not participate in the disposition of this case.
Plaintiffs Clifford, Dorothy, and Edwin Davidson seek direct review of the trial court's decision rejecting their challenge to the location of the inner harbor line defining the waterward boundary of their shorelands. Plaintiffs assert the inner harbor line was improperly drawn in 1913 so as to deprive them of access to navigable water. Defendant State of Washington cross-appeals the trial court's declaration of a navigational easement across the State-owned harbor area in favor of plaintiffs. We hold for the State.
Plaintiffs own and operate a marina in the Kenmore area of Lake Washington. When plaintiffs purchased their property in 1961, they believed they were purchasing all of the uplands (dry land bordering the lake) and abutting shorelands (submerged land out to the State-owned harbor area) encompassing the marina improvements. However, in the mid-1960's, the Port of Seattle informed plaintiffs their docks extended beyond the inner harbor line into the State-owned harbor area and that consequently a lease from the State was required. Plaintiffs challenged the location of the inner harbor line and refused to enter a lease. In 1982, the Port of Seattle announced its intention to lease the disputed harbor area to the neighboring marina. In February 1983, plaintiffs commenced this quiet title action.
In the Washington State Constitution, adopted in 1889, the State claimed ownership over all submerged lands in navigable waters up to and including the line of ordinary high water. Const. art. 17, § 1. The declaration of State ownership divested upland owners of all riparian rights, including the right of access to deep water. Eisenbach v. Hatfield, 2 Wash. 236, 26 P. 539 (1891). The constitution did not, however, prohibit the State from subsequently selling such submerged lands and rights. The first Legislature authorized the sale of tideland and shoreland and provided a purchase preference to the abutting upland owners. Laws of 1889-90, ch. 14, p. 431.
Under the constitutional scheme, three distinct zones were to be created in navigable waters. Article 15 directed the Legislature to appoint a Harbor Line Commission which would, at its discretion, establish two harbor lines in navigable waters. The Commission was empowered to establish an "outer harbor line" beyond which the State would be forever prohibited from granting private rights. Within the outer harbor line the Commission was to designate an "inner harbor line". The area between these two lines was designated as the "harbor area" and was originally required to be between 50 and 600 feet in width. Ownership of the harbor area was also reserved for the State and "forever reserved for landings, wharves, streets, and other conveniences of navigation and commerce." Const. art. 15, § 1. Although prohibited from permanently granting rights in the harbor area, the State was empowered to lease the harbor area to private persons for periods up to 30 years. Finally, the area inside the inner harbor line was designated as either shorelands (water not subject to tidal flow) or tidelands (water subject to tidal flow) and was the area subject to sale to private parties. Shorelands and tidelands are designated as first or second class with first class properties originally being those located within the corporate limits of any city or 1 mile thereof. See Const. arts. 15, 17; RCW 79.90.030-.050; RCW 79.90.090; Johnson & Cooney, Harbor Lines and the Public Trust Doctrine in
Washington Navigable Waters, 54 Wash. L. Rev. 275, 290 (1979).
In 1905, the State sold the shorelands here in question to plaintiffs' remote predecessor in interest. The deed described the conveyed property simply as "[a]ll shore lands of the second class . . . in front of, [or] adjacent to" lots 1 and 2 of section 11. As with most second class shorelands sold during that time, the deed left the waterward boundary of the shorelands undefined.
In 1911, construction began on a set of locks (the Chittenden Locks) and a canal to connect Puget Sound to Lake Washington. As a result, the water level in Lake Washington was to be lowered approximately 8 feet. Before the lake was lowered, the State brought suit to determine ownership of the new shorelands to be created. State v. Sturtevant, 76 Wash. 158, 135 P. 1035 (1913). After trial, but before the appeal was decided by the Supreme Court, the Legislature passed a statute establishing the waterward boundary for previously sold second class shorelands in Lake Washington at the line of navigability "as the same shall be found in such waters after such lowering". However, the act was expressly inapplicable to portions of second class shorelands subsequently selected by the Commissioner of Public Lands for harbor areas, docks, wharves, or other public purposes. Laws of 1913, ch. 183, § 1, p. 667.
The 1913 statute directed the Commissioner of Public Lands to survey Lake Washington and designate suitable areas for harbor areas, slips, wharves, warehouses, and other public purposes. Laws of 1913, ch. 183, § 2, p. 668. In 1914, the Harbor Line Commission approved the harbor areas and harbor lines selected by the Commissioner. The 1914 plat established only a "pier head line" in front of plaintiffs' property. However, the 1914 plat was immediately challenged, and this court voided all reservations within previously sold shorelands as an impermissible intrusion into the owners' fee simple title and voided all pierhead lines as being without authority. Puget Mill Co. v.
State, 93 Wash. 128, 160 P. 310 (1916). See also Puget Mill Co. v. State, supra at 141-42 (Chadwick, J., concurring).
The Legislature responded in 1917 by directing the Commissioner of Public Lands to prepare two new plats of Lake Washington. The first plat was to establish harbor lines in front of such previously sold second class shorelands as deemed necessary for the use of the public as harbor areas. Laws of 1917, ch. 150, § 1, p. 612. The harbor lines in question here were established pursuant to section 1 of the 1917 statute and adopted by the Public Lands Commission in 1921.
Kenmore is located at the extreme northeast end of Lake Washington on a generally shallow portion of the lake. Plaintiffs' property is located adjacent to the mouth of the Sammamish River. The inner harbor line segment bordering this section of the lake ranges from a depth of 10 feet at its western edge and 6 feet at its eastern edge to a minimum of 2 1/2 feet near a bulge in the shoreline. Where the line fronts plaintiffs' property, the depth ranges from approximately 4 to 6 feet. As drawn, the harbor lines help preserve access to the mouth of the Sammamish River.
Following initiation of this quiet title action, both parties sought partial summary judgment. The State's motion was granted. The court held plaintiffs' predecessor in interest took subject to the power of the State to set harbor lines in front of their shorelands. The court further held that the State is not required to establish the inner harbor line coincident with the line of navigability, and the standard of review for Harbor Line Commission action is arbitrary or fraudulent. At trial, the court determined that the Harbor Line Commission had not acted arbitrarily or fraudulently in establishing the inner harbor line. The trial court further held that plaintiffs' challenge was barred by the doctrine of laches. Finally, the trial court declared a navigational easement benefiting plaintiffs for access to deep water across the State-owned harbor area. This appeal followed.
The primary issue before us is whether the Harbor Line Commission was required to establish the inner harbor line coincident with an objectively defined line of navigability. Plaintiffs characterize the case as one of contractual intent. They contend the overwhelming evidence shows the parties intended the shorelands' waterward boundary to be the line of navigability, which would be determined objectively based on the depth practicably necessary to reach deep water. The State responds by arguing the controlling legislative intent was to convey shorelands with a presently undefined boundary subject to the State's power subsequently to establish an inner harbor line as the boundary.
Plaintiffs' interpretation of contractual intent relies primarily on excerpts from this court's decision in State v. Sturtevant, 76 Wash. 158, 135 P. 1035 (1913). In quieting title to shorelands created by the lowering of Lake Washington, the court found "[t]he value of shore lands in most instances lies in the fact that ownership gives access to deep or navigable water. The state has sold, and the purchaser has bought, believing this to be true." Sturtevant, 76 Wash. at 165. Accordingly, the court confirmed the existing shoreland owners' title to the uncovered shorelands as well as their right to improve and build docks up to the line of navigation as it would exist in the lowered lake. Although the court recognized shorelands were subject, under the 1913 statute, to the right of the State to establish a harbor line fixing the waterward boundary, the court viewed the shoreland owners' rights as remaining relatively unaffected. The court explained,
Now, theoretically, that [boundary] line is already fixed. It is the line of navigability. Although not surveyed and put on paper, the officers of the state are presumed to find that line and define it when establishing the inner harbor line.
Sturtevant, 76 Wash. at 166. Plaintiffs interpret the court's language in Sturtevant to establish a mutual intent recognizing an objectively determinable waterward boundary providing access to deep water.
 Unfortunately, plaintiffs' interpretation of contractual intent relies on only a few isolated excerpts from the Sturtevant opinion. It fails to take into account the Sturtevant opinion as a whole, subsequent cases, and the statutes. Furthermore, ordinary rules of contract interpretation do not apply here. Where a deed or grant from the State fails to define or limit the boundary of the grant, the boundary will be interpreted most strongly ...
