A controversial new proposal for cities to seize underwater mortgages through eminent domain is unfolding into sharp clashes between mortgage investors and would-be rescuers of depressed housing markets.
At issue are hearings held by a so-called "Homeowners Protection Program Joint Powers Authority" established by California's San Bernandino County and two of the county's cities, Fontana and Ontario, which are weighing plans to ease a persistently deep housing crisis in the region, known as the Inland Empire.
Most of the attention, and controversy, surrounds a proposal by the San Francisco-based venture capital group Mortgage Resolution Partners (MRP), which purports to be a private-sector solution to the housing crisis.
MRP's plan, called CARES ("Community Action to Restore Equity and Stability"), entails the acquisition of "deeply underwater" mortgages at valuations determined by a court. MRP boasts the privately funded initiative means it would come at no cost to cities in San Bernardino or elsewhere; similarly, homeowners pay no fees or higher taxes for the CARES program. Also, by working only with current mortgages, MRP says its program avoids the moral hazard of inducing default in contrast to other loan modification programs.
To some officials in distressed housing markets like San Bernardino's Inland Empire, MRP's plan seems to offer a no-cost way to help residents weighed down by mortgage debt, thereby freeing up consumer spending that could lift the region's economy.
But SIFMA, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, representing investors in mortgage-backed securities, is having none of it. The industry association is warning that eminent domain is not a genuine solution to the Inland Empire's housing problems.
In a letter submitted Friday to San Bernardino's Joint Powers Authority (JPA), SIFMA says the MRP plan, if adopted, will drive lenders and mortgage investors away from the region, thus making it harder and costlier for residents to obtain credit.
"If performing mortgage loans are taken from their holders, this will cause significant losses to those holders, and cause those who fund mortgage loans to act very cautiously," SIFMA said.
SIFMA also cited "legal and constitutional concerns," and unsubtly suggested the county and JPA can expect to "become entangled in lengthy and expensive litigation with the holders of mortgage loans" –i.e. SIFMA.
Finally, SIFMA frontally attacked MRP, saying: "If San Bernardino were to adopt MRP's plan … it would position itself as a facilitator of a group of opportunistic investors' unjust, and likely unconstitutional, efforts to extract profits from a different group of investors."
The public discussion has become heated. MRP called an idea floated by SIFMA to prevent home loans in cities adopting its plan from being bundled with the cheapest mortgage securities "reprehensible and immoral" and "likely illegal." SIFMA, meanwhile, is saying that its asset-manager members are managing the pension funds of "teachers and state employees." Trying to present a more sympathetic face on its side, the securities association says, "When one of these asset managers suffers a loss, it is really borne by those individual investors and savers." One side offers a private-sector solution to the housing crisis. The cities that would stand to benefit from this solution say an important public purpose is served by keeping underwater homeowners in their homes and lifting a severely depressed local economy. The other side says the plan does nothing to help delinquent homeowners since the city would be seizing only performing loans while forcing losses on mortgage bond investors.
While you've got to give MRP credit for their ingenuity, I believe adopting the group's plan would be an injustice. While to most people, eminent domain may have somewhat of an abstract quality to it, allow me to share a personal experience that I think bears on this issue.
My parents had a small commercial property, their principal asset, that was located in an area that the city and a large property developer wanted to redevelop. Some twelve years ago, my recently widowed mother and I were called to a meeting in the developer's executive suites. They were all smiles, and expressed sympathy for our recent loss and effected a desire to help my mother with her financial problems by providing a ready offer of cash for her property.
The amount eventually offered (after lots of beating around the bush) was enough to guarantee a penurious retirement. It would be as if investors came to you in early 2009 to discuss a stock portfolio you acquired for, say, $1 million, which fell to $500,000 in the midst of the credit crisis, and they offered you $400,000.
You see, there is a difference between liquid securities like stocks, which if you must, you can sell for their depressed value, and illiquid assets like property. Making a property market into a redevelopment zone shuts out normal buying and selling. That's why MRP's offer to buy mortgages at "fair market value" at court-ordered values is misleading.
Once a government exercises eminent domain in a region, no reasonable person would buy, so the market is frozen at values that are lower than the depressed values current before the government's declaration. It would be as if you could only sell your $500,000 for just $400,000. And if you say no, you fight the government and just hope to be able to hold onto your property.
And therein lies the nub of this issue. Sometimes the individual good must be sacrificed to a greater "public purpose"—public transit in a dangerously congested area, for example. But it is another thing altogether when the city is taking property from Peter and giving it to Paul. That has become common in modern U.S. history, usually under the theory that economic development is an acceptable public purpose. The U.S. Supreme Court in 2005, in a 5-4 decision in Kelo v. City of New London, said this was constitutional. But Susette Kelo's life was ruined, a community was disrupted and the developers eventually abandoned the project. Many states revised their eminent domain rules as a result. So while some courts will approve this sort of thing, a finding that it is legal does not mean it is moral.
SIFMA is right. Mortgage investors, including, yes, humble government workers invested in pension plans, may lose when defaults cause losses on their mortgage securities, but it is unfair for a city to capriciously enrich MRP's investors at the expense of Joe Teacher (or even Joe Fat Cat).
My mom endured a long struggle, but we narrowly escaped the city's redevelopment scheme (others did not); as the real estate market recovered, she sold her property for four times the amount offered by the developers.
While no one wants to experience a financial loss, it is tolerable to lose wealth knowing that children will be educated in a school that could not be located anywhere else, but it is hard to tolerate seeing your wealth be handed over to fat-cat developers. Similarly, it would be unfair to hand over the wealth of mortgage-backed securities investors to the fat cats of MRP.

Hmmmmm this one is interesting! Radar Online, reports that the Real Housewives Of Atlanta's resident silver fox Peter Thomas is eyeing a spin off show for his club Bar One in Atlanta.
According to Radar Online, Thomas is allegedly hoping to get a show that would be based along the lines of Lisa and Ken Vanderpump's show Vanderpump Rules, which is centered around the drama at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars' restaurant SUR Lounge.
According to a source,
"He has started shooting the spinoff, but it hasn't actually been picked up."
Eyewitnesses claim Thomas, along with other RHOA husbands/fiancés, including Todd Tucker and Gregg Leakes were spotted filming the potential spin-off several weeks ago. A source claimed,
"They had all the windows blocked off because it was daytime and the shoot was supposed to be at night."
We're tending to believe this is true because Thomas has been front and center for just about everything crazy that has been going on (on camera that is!) this season. He's jumped in and attempted to be the voice of reason on many occasions whereas before he wouldn't have been so vocal. He used to just talk crazy about it with his wife Cynthia Bailey and keep it pushing like most any other husband would!
This has caused him stress and strife with some of the other husbands and wives too. Last week found him and Gregg Leakes up in each other's grills so far that they should have had some burgers and steaks to show for it!
And to be honest….we sort of enjoy the fellas hanging out on the show. So, if Thomas wanted to have a spin off with he and the guys we think we'd like that! As long as it didn't get too ratchet and involve a whole new brand of kray kray…we think it might actually be entertaining. The guys on the show are pretty funny so we'd be interested to see what antics they'd bring each week.
We give this a thumbs up…we'll definitely check it out if it gets picked up!

Been so long since he played it feels like he's actually left already.Should help soften the blow when he inevitably does leave.Not too keen on seeing him play for anyone else mind.
Pretty sad that we seem to have produced the best talent of the last two generations in England and both will leave without reaching their potential.

Figure A: How to fix broken blinds: Miniblind Anatomy
Miniblind lift cords run from the bottom bar, up through the slats, across the top bar and then become the two pull cords on the side.
You might also like: TBD
No need to go out and buy new blinds! We'll show you how to fix blinds with a few simple steps. The best time to replace the lift cord that raises and lowers a miniblind is when you first notice it's frayed—don't wait till it breaks. It's much easier to use the old blind pull cord to guide a new one (you temporarily splice them together) and pull it through the intricate pathway of ladder lines, slats and headbox hardware than to thread a new cord inch by inch by itself through the labyrinth.
Miniblind repair decisions should begin with the question, "Is it easier to fix this or buy a new one?" If you've got a cheap vinyl miniblind that's not a custom size and color, throw it out. We chose to fix our more expensive faux-wood slat blind. This fix works on pleated shades as well. Finding replacement braided nylon lift cord of the right thickness is tricky; home centers don't carry it. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Window Coverings, Repair and Cleaning." Most places carry stock cord in white, beige and brown. For pleated shades, select lift cord that's .9 mm thick; for vinyl miniblinds, 1.4 mm; for wood slat blinds, 1.8 mm. Cord is inexpensive. To figure how much blind pull cord you'll need, multiply the height of your extended blinds by 4 and add the width. (A blind 3 ft. wide and 5 ft. high would need about 23 linear feet of lift cord: 4 x 5 = 20; 20 + 3 = 23.)
Miniblind lift cords run from the bottom bar, up through the slats, across the top bar and then become the two pull cords on the side.
Open the support brackets, remove the blind and take it to a workbench for splicing the frayed section of lift cord to a new cord.
Pull on the frayed lift cord until the slats are drawn together. Cut the cord at the fray and pull the discarded piece (with the knotted end) out through the bottom bar. Splice the new cord to the old by hot-gluing the tips together and rolling them up tightly in a 3-in. long strip of plastic electrical tape.
4 Rehang the shade and draw the new lift cord through the cord pathway. With one hand guiding the cord splice through the slats and headbox hardware, pull on the old lift cord. When the splice is clear of the headbox, draw the new lift cord to the bottom bar, undo the splice and attach any plastic pulls on the end of the new cord.
While the blind is still hung (Fig. A), make the task easier by studying, sketching or shooting digital photos of your blind's lift cord pathways before you begin the repair. Then take 45 minutes and follow the steps shown in Photos 1 – 3. Since the cord splice may not pass through the small hole in the bottom bar, make it above the bar. Then drop the loose end of the new lift cord through the hole in the bottom bar and tie a new knot (Fig. B). Keep your slats aligned in a straight vertical line by weaving the lift cord alternately in and out of the ladder rungs.
Caution: Leave the ends of the two lift cords untied. Small children have accidentally hanged themselves on tied cords that formed a loop.
Feed the end of the new lift cord through the small hole in the bottom bar and tie a retaining knot. Make sure the bottom loop of the ladder goes around the bottom bar. Tuck the loose ladder blind strings and lift cord knot into the rail hole and reinstall the plastic plug.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.

In other words, our Air Purifier & Cleaning Products work as well or Better than poison products — and they are totally organic and safe. Other major manufacturers of "odor eliminators" design products that don't actually "eliminate"; they simply "mask" odors, propagating the environment with harsh chemicals and a strong "replacement" scent that is intended to only "disguise" the hydrocarbon odor. By only masking, these products infuse the environment with chemicals that can be harmful to people and pets or instigate a very strong allergic reaction.
Freshana products were designed specifically to correct this wrong, by using an ingenious and complex blend of natural ingredients and a state of the art microencapsulation process in a patented formula to eliminate the hydrocarbon odors and messes naturally and almost instantly.

A Sandwich a Day: Dijon Chicken at Halsted Street Deli
Reviews of Chicago sandwiches.
I believe the best sandwich is one that surprises you. Sure there's a greatness in knowing the exact one you want, getting it, and being completely satisfied. But the Dijon Chicken ($6.49) at Halsted Street Deli comes from a completely standard lunch menu, yet it made my day.
Two things make this sandwich: the bread and the spice. The tomato focaccia, while not made in house but sourced from Turano, is incredibly light and fluffy. It also gives the sandwich a hint of sweetness. The Dijon gives you the nice spicy flavor that lingers in your mouth after eating it, without being too strong (this sandwich has the "Hot" tag next to on the menu, but don't fear, this is manageable even for a spice weenie). All of this gives the chicken exactly what it needs to be memorable rather than boring.

Nyjer Morgan—or his alter-ego Tony Plush, depending on your take—is a tremendous weirdo. He flies kites when he gets prompted by his Twitter followers. He gives interviews in character. He might actually be a little bit insane. And to add to the tally: he appears to be a legitimate fan of the Twilight series.
Morgan made it onto the red carpet for last night's premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—the one where the vampire marries the mortal and the werewolf gets mad—and even managed to photo-bomb teen Ken doll Taylor Lautner. What a guy.
If you're curious, here's Plush's review of the film:
Great premier last nite! For those Twilight Fans you will enjoy the entire movie! If Plush had to pick Wearwolf or Vampire, I'm a Wearwolf!

Yes, I was sitting around waiting for that new bubbly economy with inexplicable wild profits to just fall back in my lap and realized that it was never going to happen. Everything will simply feel like it costs more from now on. So, all those shameless, untimely, and insensitive luxury sports car tests I've been putting off shall be put off no more. That goes for (maybe even) BP-refueling SUVs that go faster than most sports cars.
Witness my choice of the new "958" 493-hp Porsche Cayenne Turbo V8 and fairly-soon-to-be-replaced "W164" 503-hp Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG 4Matic V8. At least you can admit I showed some awareness in that both vehicles are extremely practical carriers of things and people, and both have a relatively stellar reliability and safety rating. And they tow pretty dang well, of course. (7,716 pounds on both the Cayenne Turbo and ML 63 AMG 4Matic, just in case you want to trailer-camp in fancy places.)
Frankly the primary reason for the comparo being between these two is logistics. Porsche and Mercedes (you could also say, these days, VW Group and Daimler, if you dare) have been nearby rivals on many fronts throughout the years. Mercedes would love to have that sort of Porsche 911 icon in its portfolio but still doesn't, while Porsche has always wanted those Mercedes-sized resources. The latter of the two may now be resolved for Porsche what with the VW takeover that shocked the world, but it's all still very tied up in courts and boardrooms. Yeah, I know-BORRRR-ingggg.
The ML 63 is honestly still the meat hammer of all high-performance Euro trucks, weighing in at at least 5,093 pounds at the curb and propelled forth by the fat-barrelled 6.2-liter naturally aspirated "M156" V8 that made AMG a real builder of its own engines in 2005. For each of the 503 horses there are 10.1 pounds to deal with in the ML. And they deal with it in just less than five seconds in getting me to 62 mph from a stop. The thing is pure momentum hurtling through space, displacing more air than some school buses. The wheels for The Last Great Oligarch.
Then we have the kinder, gentler second-generation Porsche Cayenne Turbo that follows the passionately criticized first-gen spice truck, which nonetheless has (in a depressing yet predictable turn of events) accounted for a huge portion of total company sales since its introduction. Vocal Porsche purists and "experts" hate being wrong like that. This new Cayenne peels off the weight and takes on more attractive lines on the exterior as it sits on the chassis shared with the new VW Touareg and existing Audi Q7.
This better looking Cayenne incarnation weighs in at a feathery light 4,784 pounds. Divide that fluffiness by the 493 horses of the 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and we get roughly 9.7 pounds per steed. No large surprise then that acceleration to 60 mph can conceivably happen in just 4.4 seconds, while the ML 63 lists at 4.8 seconds. And the Cayenne Turbo actually carries the more resistant drag coefficient at 0.36 versus the ML 63 at 0.34, when I was expecting quite the opposite. Shut my mouth!
From the front and rear, the ML 63 looks much more the part of the meat-fisted mayhem maker while in profile the Porsche wins the looks pageant. At 76.8 inches wide and 73.4 inches tall, the ML 63 is half an inch wider than the Cayenne Turbo and a gasping 6.3 inches taller. Then in length, the Porsche completes the good-proportions formula at 190.8 inches compared to the chunkier ML 63 at 189.8 inches. Overall, I likey the new effort made on the Porsche Cayenne and now await the next ML class design to evolve the Merc SUV DNA into less 1990s territory. I just hope the ML keeps a portion of that chunkiness that has made it so notorious.
At one point in this test, I just floored it. I had one of my many lackeys in one vehicle and me in the other. We looked at each other and decided to hammer the suckers on our handy wide-open airstrip. Granted, this was highly informal and not monitored or timed by the hundreds of sanctioning bodies that sanction these things, but the Cayenne Turbo and ML 63 stayed exactly together for at least the first ten or so seconds of tarmac despite those 0-60-mph estimates. Then the Porsche and all 516 lb-ft of its torque from 2250 to 4500 rpm pulled away bit by bit, aided by the lower weight.
Normal top speed for the ML 63 is the Daimler rule of 155 mph, while normal for the new Cayenne (bi-)Turbo hits 173 mph. Then in the curves and through the gears, it became pretty apparent that Porsche has done its homework and at least made the new Cayenne more of a Porsche-style SUV than the previous SUV-style Porsche. The AMG Speedshift 7G-Tronic with selectable Sport-Comfort-Manual knob on the console of the ML 63 is fantastic tech and Mercedes will probably only get an eight-speed to stay "with it" in marketing terms or to have better highway fuel mileage figures. In functional terms, however, seven is enough and the Speedshift box is plenty fast for this thundering hippo.
And there really is thunder going on through the ML 63's four-tip chromed exhaust barrels. Left in Sport, the automatic revs out to about 7250 rpm within the red zone and it's one helluva show. I've got to say, too, that the 15.5-inch diameter AMG steering wheel is mega-sensational for grab positions and thickness. This is one that I muscled around and she appreciates it right back at me.
Clearly the Porsche Cayenne Turbo has a few advantages here that all stem from it being the incoming new kid. Whereas the ML 63 still has the old foot-pedal parking brake and plastic pull release handle ("ka-THUNK"), a standard manual rear hatch that is really heavy, and no onboard reverse camera (at least in my tester), the Cayenne Turbo comes loaded for bear with the space-saving and simple electronic handbrake, automated rear hatch, and reverse camera with a bigger screen. The ML 63 couldn't hide those crow's feet and she became despondent.
But-and every car has a big but-why on earth the Cayenne Turbo comes standard with the old unpleasant Tiptronic S multi-dysfunction steering wheel and thumb-knuckle toggle switches is something I cannot explain. These shift switches quite frankly stink and have been stinking up the place for years. And now that the big Cayenne has the flash new 8-speed Tiptronic S tranny, I comprehend this situation even less. At this level of price ($104,800 plus all your taxes), shouldn't Porsche throw in the much better optional paddle-shifter wheel for free? C'mon. At a base pre-tax price of $91,050 on the ML 63 AMG, it makes the choice here less easy, too.
Both the ML 63 and Cayenne Turbo can be pretty serious off-roaders, but why? Porsche has picked up on this by mimicking a bit what sister vehicle VW Touareg has done, bringing the Cayenne down from the hardcore offroad aspirant and making it much more a real road-goer. The ML 63 has pretty much always been this way anyway and was just waiting for the Cayenne to come join it. The reliable 4Matic setup with 40/60 torque split on the ML63 is as fine a setup as we recall, though the 21-inch in-your-face Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires of my tester must never touch dust or bumps if you wish to stay in love with your purchase. And though the Cayenne Turbo was dressed up, too, in 20-inch Michelin Latitude Sport treads, the active Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive system is, like the 4Matic, as capable as ever. The Cayenne does benefit now from rear-axle torque vectoring Plus (consists of a large leather-covered cinder block in the cargo floor-yes, seriously, and worth every penny, she is) during dynamics testing, however, and this gives it the edge in chassis trickery.
Sitting in either contestant, I am happy. There is plenty of room for homo sapiens front and rear, and lateral seat support and overall comfort are outstanding while dicing up the aerodrome tarmac or mountain road. Cargo room at the normal setup goes to the Cayenne at 23.7 cubic feet, while seats down the ML 63 wins out at 72.4 cubed feet.
So, yes indeed, I hand it to the Porsche Cayenne Turbo this time around, but there are always a few touches where things can improve. A better sport exhaust option is needed, Sport Chrono Plus needs to be available right away, and that damned steering wheel needs to vanish from the portfolio.
The ML 63, for an aging model, still tugs the heart strings although it needs a redesign very soon, plus the all-new "M157" bi-turbo V8.
Basic message: Do not rest on your accomplishments, Porsche. AMG is charging hard in the next few years to dominate the German V8 kingdom.

In 2018, Austin was voted the No. 1 place to live in America for the third year in a row and it remains a top location in the nation.

First Published in The International – Vol XI, Issue 11
In a dim grotto of the wood, they said,
Great Pan lies dead;
And then they flew
Laughing across the sand, but paused anew,
Clad in white chastity, upon the brink —
Shy fawns at drink,
Half-frightened by
The murmuring treetops and the water's sigh —
Viewing the wood with half-alarmed grimace
For a strange face.
The goat-eared Pan,
They said in bravado, is not a man
But a dead god; an antique legend sung
To charm the young.
And then the sea
Robed them in living jewels lavishly;
Clasped his wet arms about them — ah, so slim! —
Drew them to him.
Beware, old sea!
Dost thou not fear Pan's maddened jealousy?
Dost thou think, too, that Pan is dead and cold,
Deep in the gold
Dead leaves of fall,
Leaving all this to thee as seneschal?
Long since thou heard the cloven hoof resound
Upon the ground;
Since thy pale glass
Gave back his image. Ah, the years may pass
But Pan lives yet, for love is more than death.
Hear'st thou a breath
Hot in the wood,
Where in thy youth the shaggy lover stood.
The rules of the field, the pasture and the prairie, the laws of the deep wood, have been usurped by the civilizing forces of human law. Gentle pastoral moments of reflection, the raw release of energy between predator and prey, the procreative force, all fit poorly in a society organized for commerce and progress. Pan, god of panic, nature unbound, seems to have no place in our new world.
Our visions of life's potential, filtered through the lens of law, fail to capture the living mythology the surrounds us, the truths that lie undying in the depths of our stories.
There are some, however, who sense the faint stirring of rebirth, a green face in the field, a word in the wind. Divine madness stirs the leaves where it will.
"Hear'st thou a breath hot in the wood…."
