Freddie joins Fannie in purchasing ‘conforming jumbo’s’

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:29:13 PDT
This is a couple of days old - and I’ve received several emails as to why I haven’t blogged about it yet. The answer is that while the news of the GSE picking up jumbo conforming loans is, in fact, news, the bigger story is that there hasn’t been much of an appetite for these loans through any channel. First let’s talk about the news of Freddie Mac purchasing jumbo conforming loans (up to $729,750) as part of the Economic Stimulus Act. From CNN on Freddie Mac’s announcement: The McLean, Va.,

Parma-Napoli Game Review

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:38:18 PDT
Parma-Napoli Game Review By: fortunato | Add Comments Napoli fans have a lot to be happy about as they retire for the evening content that the club secured only their third road victory of the season (13th overall victory) in their inaugral return to Serie A. This was Napoli’s best road game since the September 2 2007 massacre in Friuli. Parma was missing both backliner Fernando Couto and striker Ferreira Reginaldo due to suspensions and Napoli would be without backliner Matteo Contini and m

Truth of Iraqi Forces vs. Mahdi Army

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:18:53 PDT
If your news on the latest hostilities in Iraq has come from ABC, CBS, NBS, MSNBC, CNN, BBC, NYT, Wash. Post, or most of the rest of the mainstream media, even on FOX, then you have been shown only the defeatist view of events. The truth is a far cry different even when including the portions reported by the mainstream media.

CBC’s oft-used source for political experts —the Huffington Post —in new hate du jour

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 02:15:20 PDT
CBC’s oft-used source for political experts —the Huffington Post —in new hate du jour Here’s a bit of a post from the infamous Huffington Post web site, the web site which the state-owned CBC seems to use as a go-to place to secure folks to act as guest political experts for their Newsworld news channel. They ask questions of the Huffington Post experts in order to fully inform Canadians, CBC-style. Canadians, bereft of news otherwise, could, the CBC may well think, benefit from this kind of

The oldest Americans are also the happiest, research finds

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 13:33:54 PDT
It turns out the golden years really are golden. Eye-opening new research finds the happiest Americans are the oldest, and older adults are more socially active than the stereotype of the lonely senior suggests. The two go hand-in-hand: Being social can help keep away the blues. "The good news is that with age comes happiness," said study....

The End of an Era, The Stinehour Press is Closing!

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 06:41:21 PDT

Where are most “fine art” books printed now?…China! That is not to say that

Heart rate and exercise

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 12:03:17 PDT
This article in the NYT talks about heart rate and exercise. The article makes it seem like you shouldn’t bother monitoring it. I just don’t agree. Seeing heart rate as the goal is a mistake. Obsessing over the number - any numbers unless you are a high-performance athlete - is ridiculous and counter-productive. Watching your heart rate should be, like anything else, just another tool you use in your fitness arsenal. It’s just one way to measure, in real time, the efficacy of what you a

Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:50:34 PDT
Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up! The state-run media in Canada (and the citizen-owned media who do their best to compete with them) all lament, daily (with intra-day lament updates, all day long), the price of a barrel of oil, and the resulting price of gas. (Of course they don’t have the foggiest clue what they’re talking about, but they pretend they do.) Even as I was writing this, the state-owned CBC did a story about the latest rise in gas prices. Apparently it’s getting h

Of Economic Woes, Fears, And Hunger

In catching up on economic news this week, I've noticed a trend toward real world reports. It's as though a few in the media have awakened to the fact that a large segment of our population is struggling to just get by -- which for regular folks isn't exactly news, but it's a welcome change from the usual indifference.

EUROPE MAY SCRAP GLOBAL WARMING TARGET - FEARS OF FOOD CRISIS MOUNT

The European Commission is backing away from its insistence on imposing a compulsory 10% quota of biofuels in all gasoline and diesel by 2020, a central plank of its program to lead the world in combating climate change. Amid a worsening global food crisis exacerbated, say experts and critics, by the race to divert food or feed crops into biomass for the manufacture of vehicle fuel, and inundated by a flood of expert advice criticizing the shift to renewable fuel, the commission appears to be
