Dobbyn will perform with the Orpheus Choir at the Dreams Lie
Deeper show on May 10 at Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre.
"I am deeply honoured to be asked by the Orpheus Choir to
write a piece for the Pike River 29 and their families and
community," Dobbyn said.
"Having met some of the miners' bereaved families and their
advocates, I'm very close to the task now. Their grief is
overwhelmingly compounded by the ongoing travesty of Pike
"It's an injustice that is heart-wrenching and a story that
must be etched into the heart and mind of every New
Zealander," he said.
Twenty-nine miners lost their lives in the November 19, 2010
disaster after an explosion in the Pike River mine near
Greymouth. Their bodies have never been recovered.
Dreams Lie Deeper will be a tribute to mining communities
worldwide and a commemoration of events that have irrevocably
changed the course of their lives, focusing on the Pike River
Mine disaster.
Dobbyn has been commissioned to write lyrics and music for
the tribute, and he will be joined on stage by the the
160-strong Orpheus Choir, the award-winning Wellington Brass
Band and Wellington Young Voices.
The show has the approval of the Pike River Families Group
"The Pike River families are humbled that The Orpheus Choir
of Wellington have commissioned Dave Dobbyn to write a song
in honour of their men, who were tragically killed in the
Pike River Mine disaster," said chairman Colin Smith.
"The families wholeheartedly support the Choir's Dreams Lie
Deeper concert and have no doubt it will be a very moving
event. Those family members who are able to attend are very
much looking forward to being a part of the forthcoming
Tickets for the show go on sale from Friday, January 31
through Ticketek.

Nader Kara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nader Mohammed Kara (Arabic: نادر كارة) (born 19 January 1980) is a Libyan football attacker who, as of 2006/2007 season is playing for Al Ahly Tripoli. Having received offers to play abroad, by the Bahraini and Turkish national leagues, he decided instead to remain in Libya, instead moving to Al- Ahly Tripoli from Al Olympic Zaouia.
He was a member of the Libyan 2006 African Nations Cup team, who finished bottom of their group in the first round of competition, thus failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals, finishing with just one point from their three matches

thanks, L.
hi, i'm having problems when i click on the buynow_button: i only get an error page but no redirection page. you can reach the shop at http://www.bikeflags.de

thanks, L.
Well it looks like the item is added to the cart correctly but the redirect isn't working properly.
A few things to double-check:
1) are you using PHP5
2) have you checked whether any other plugins are causing incompatibilities
3) do you have any non-standard rewrite rules (permalinks for example) that might be causing the problem
yes, i'm usind php5 and yes, i turned the other plugins off and on one by one (no changes in the behavior of yak), but no, i'm not sure if i have any non-standard rewrite rules ...
yak is THE shop for my needs and it would be nice if it was running. :)
hello, i think i've got the solution. i've installed the wp-blog into a subdirectory called /wp, i copied the index.php to the root directory and i have adjusted the path to that directory in the wp administration as well as in the index.php. everything's fine until i click on the "add to cart" button: this button inserts an /wp that not should be there.
i've rebuilt the permalink structure - nothing happend. but when i switched back to the former settings the button worked well.
so, what can i do? i want my subdirectory as well as a short url like http://www.bikeflags.de (and not http://www.bikeflags.de/wp). is ist possible to make any adjustments on the yak files?
thank you very much for the hint with the permalink ...
That sounds pretty non-standard. Is there any reason why you've done this? Usual scenario is if you want wp served from the root, you install the entire thing in the root door. At least as far as I'm aware. Yak builds urls from base URL provided by wp - so I'm guessing that's where the wp has come from (possibly in the wp_options metadata at a guess)
ok, as i mentioned i moved the install to the root directory and the shop is running. i think it's ok that way.
i see there's an update for the yak shop – is there anything i should do before i run it?
thanks, L.
Nope. Normal upgrade.
I managed to get rid of the 404's thrown when WordPress installation url is different from the blog's home page by editing the line 488 of yak-utils.php
function yak_get_blogurl() //This originally sets
$url = get_bloginfo('wpurl'); // the installation directory
// changing it to:
$url = get_bloginfo('url'); // the Word press blog's home page
In the original form the installation url and home page of the wordpress site had to be the same for the plug-in function correctly. After editing, these URL's can be different and the plug-in hasn't broken.
Still observing though.

The steps look 100% better than any OEM running boards. However these aren't the best quality built. The packing they come in is terrible. Installation takes maybe 45 minutes per side. Instructions are decent with their description. Overall appearance is fantastic. Love the look. However customer service from this website does leave something to be desired. Had to have replacement brackets mine were bent during shipping and took well over a month to finally receive them.

Mowat–Wilson syndrome
|Mowat–Wilson syndrome
Mowat–Wilson syndrome, clinical features of Patient 2 at age: (A) 1 year and 6 months; (B–C) 3 years and 5 months; (D–E) 8 years and 1 month.
|Classification and external resources
Mowat–Wilson syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that was clinically delineated by Dr. D. R. Mowat and Dr. M. J. Wilson in 1998.[1]
This autosomal dominant disorder is characterized by a number of health defects including Hirschsprung's disease, intellectual disability, epilepsy,[2] delayed growth and motor development, congenital heart disease, genitourinary anomalies and absence of the corpus callosum. However, Hirschsprung's disease is not present in all infants with Mowat–Wilson syndrome and therefore it is not a required diagnostic criterion.[3] Distinctive physical features include microcephaly, narrow chin, cupped ears with uplifted lobes with central depression, deep and widely set eyes, open mouth, wide nasal bridge and a shortened philtrum.
The disorder is expressed in an autosomal dominant fashion and may result from a de novo (new) mutation or deletions of the ZEB2 (also known as ZFHX1B or SMADIP1) gene on chromosome 2q22.[4]
However, some of those affected by the disease do not have abnormalities of this gene that are currently detectable.[citation needed]
There is no cure for this syndrome. Treatment is supportive and symptomatic. All children with Mowat–Wilson syndrome required early intervention with speech therapy and physical therapy.[3]

Food and wine. Vendors from both industries came together Thursday for a good cause at the Restaurant Round-Up at the Rex Baxter Building at the Tri-State Fairgrounds.
The event, formerly known as the Taste of Texas, featured 33 restaurants and six wineries. Kickshikers and Agave Posse provided live entertainment.
Melanie McGuire, a teacher with the Amarillo Independent School District's Family and Consumer Sciences Career Preparation program, said half the money raised would go to the scholarship program.
Seniors in the work program can apply for the $500 scholarship that is given once a year, McGuire said.
McGuire, who was helping take money and give out cups and wrist bands, said she didn't have an estimate of the number of people she had seen walk through the door.
"They changed it from Saturday to Thursday, and I think that helped," she said.
Betty Bara, a member of the Panhandle Restaurant Association and owner of La Fiesta Restaurants, said restaurants who are members are required to give to non-profits. This was a great opportunity for her company, she said.
"We give scholarships to kids," Bara said. "One-half goes to FCSCP an the other half to Meals on Wheels."
This event gives restaurants great exposure, Bara said.
"This is giving back to the community," Bara said. "It's a great opportunity to work with AISD and Meals on Wheels."
Claude Stephens was eating dinner and said he won four tickets to the event from a local radio station.
"I've only been about 20 percent around," Stephens said.
He liked the beef ribs and brisket from Desperado's and the beef fajitas from Rosa's.
"All the vendors are so polite to the people who come up and we're enjoying it," Stephens said.
Vicky Munoz was also tasting some of the food and was there because her daughter works at Basil Docs Pizza. She said she was there to taste all the varieties of food in Amarillo.

Barbed Labour welcome for new Welsh Secretary
New Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb has been welcomed to his post as "the third Secretary of State for Wales in the last 22 months" by his Labour shadow, Owen Smith, who says it time for the Conservatives to end what Labour call the Tories' "war on Wales".
He's called on Mr Crabb to "break free from the ceaseless negativity that has characterised his predecessors' attitude to Wales and the achievements of the Welsh Government". Mr Smith has also drawn attention to the new Secretary of State's past doubts about devolution.
I have written to the new Secretary of State today to formally offer my congratulations, but also to call on him to go into the new job with the aim of standing up for our nation, rather than indulging in politicised attacks on Wales, with the aim of winning votes in England. The Wales Office can play a vital role in being the voice of Wales at Westminster, but it has recently been reduced to a crude propaganda machine attacking the very country it is supposed to represent, as a proxy for attacking the wider Labour Party.
Speaking from the steps of 10 Downing Street Mr Crabb has this morning pledged to 'work hard for Wales'. I hope and trust that will be the case, and that the war on Wales might end on his watch. Mr Crabb shares with his predecessor a long stated scepticism about the value of devolution, calling it in the past a form of 'constitutional vandalism', and he will thus face legitimate questions about his commitment to the devolved settlement and his desire to take it forward.
He not long ago lamented that it was no longer saleable 'to call for the abolition of the devolved institutions'. Let's hope he takes a more enlightened view now he's responsible for them. A key test for Mr Crabb in this regard will be whether he supports the Silk Commission and Labour's view that our country should have the same, 'reserved' model of devolved powers as those applied in Scotland.
Budget should boost jobs in Wales, says Labour
Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith says the Chancellor must do more to get young people back into work when he announces his budget on Wednesday. Mr Smith said,
"With nearly a million young people out of work across the UK, a Labour Budget would also include a jobs guarantee, based on the success of Jobs Growth Wales, which has created 11,000 opportunities for young people in Wales.
"If George Osborne doesn't announce these measures, the next Labour Government will waste no time introducing them. They're a vital part of our plan to create an economy that puts hard-working people first and that offers good jobs with decent wages"
- Owen Smith MP, Shadow Welsh Secretary
Welsh income tax would put UK at risk says Shadow Welsh Secretary
Shadow Welsh Secretary has hit back at claims that he and fellow Labour MPs have 'torpedoed' proposals to transfer control of some taxes including income tax (following a referendum) to the Welsh Government. Owen Smith said:
Labour is the party that campaigned for devolution and delivered it for Wales and Scotland, and we support additional powers where they will help grow the Welsh economy, such as borrowing powers to invest in infrastructure. But we will not risk undermining the solidarity of the union with other parts of the UK, nor the ability to redistribute between richer and poorer areas. It is only the nationalists with their desire to break up the UK, and the Tories who want to undermine public services, that would proceed to major new powers without a full analysis and very careful consideration.
'Honest' response to 'disappointing' PISA results praised
Shadow Welsh Secretary, Owen Smith, has described the PISA results for Wales as 'disappointing' but says that 'the Welsh Labour Government has already recognised the scale of the challenge we face and has put in place the measures required to turn things around.'
He added that
The response of the Welsh Government to today's results has been honest, serious and long-sighted, in contrast to the short term, party-political points which Conservative UK Cabinet Ministers have sought to make today. Using the education of Welsh pupils, striving for attainment in some of the most challenged and deprived communities of Britain, as a means to score points off the Labour Party, is a cheap trick which will be seen for what it is by the Welsh people.
Welsh Secretary accused of £200m tax cut call
The Welsh Secretary has been accused of committing his party to a tax cut costing £200m. In the Commons, Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith seized on comments made by David Jones following the news that some control of income tax could be transferred to Wales.
Owen Smith said a cut of 1p in income tax would cost £200m and challenged the Welsh Secretary to say what services he'd cut to pay for it. In response David Jones said any future tax changes would be up to a future Welsh Government.
But he repeated his call for an early referendum on devolving income tax power to the Welsh Government and said Conservatives would campaign for lower taxes.
Swansea will go from strength to strength says Shadow Welsh Secretary
Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith says that Swansea 'remains one of our great cultural centres' despite not being chosen as City of Culture.
The disappointing news that Swansea narrowly missed out on the City of Culture award does nothing to diminish the fact that the City remains one of our great cultural centres in Wales and beyond.
The brilliant bid put forward by the City will have served to remind people of that fact right across the World and I am sure that it will have played a part in increasing visitor numbers, especially next year, during the centenary celebrations for the City's greatest literary son, Dylan Thomas.
His ugly, lovely town, crawling, sprawling by the side of a long and splendid curving shore will go from strength to strength, of that there is no doubt.
Shadow Welsh Secretary urges income tax caution
Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith has sounded a note of caution about the transfer of control over part of income tax to Wales. He told our Political Editor Adrian Masters that politicians need to be certain Wales would be better off under the change.
Energy group's 'spin' criticised
Shadow Welsh Secretary, Owen Smith, has accused Swalec owner SSE of 'spin' by claiming to have reported a £150m loss. He criticised the energy group for 'selling its own product to itself,' a reference to its wholesale and retail divisions.
No matter how hard SSE spin by highlighting a £150m loss in its retail arm, the reality is the company's overall profit came in at around £350m. The attempt to plead poverty will fall on deaf ears in Wales, where we already have the highest energy bills of anywhere in the UK.
SSE's profits of £350m have allowed it to give shareholders inflation-busting pay-outs while customers face inflation-busting price hikes. It can only do this because it operates in a flawed market. The group sells its own product to itself and hasn't got enough serious competition.
A long-term solution is to reform the energy market, which a Labour Government will tackle head on. But we also need a short-term answer to sky-high prices. That's why Labour is calling on David Cameron to freeze energy prices and address the cost of living crisis facing families across the country.
Shadow Welsh Secretary slams 'gross profiteering' energy price hike
Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith has sharply criticised the decision by SSE to increase energy prices.
Families in Wales are being particularly hard hit by this increase.
Wales – where there are more than one million SSE customers - already suffers from the highest energy bills and lowest levels of disposable income of anywhere in Britain.
This is nothing more than an act of gross profiteering. People in Wales are clearly being ripped off by this energy company and it needs to stop.
People are already suffering under David Cameron's cost of living crisis and now, thanks to his failure to stand up to the big energy companies, consumers will be hit by ever high bills, with SSE increasing prices by nearly 10%. This is a sign that David Cameron only stands up for the privileged few.
If ever there was proof that Ed Miliband was right and we need a freeze on energy prices, this is it.
Owen Smith 'delighted' to continue in post
Pontypridd MP Owen Smith has just issued his reaction to Ed Miliband's reshuffle. Mr Smith remains in the rôle of Shadow Welsh Secretary.
I'm delighted to be continuing as Shadow Secretary of State for Wales in Ed Miliband's Shadow Cabinet, and will be continuing to hold David Jones to account for his failure to stand up for Wales around the Cabinet table. People in Wales have been hit even harder than those in the rest of the UK by this Tory-led Government's failed economic strategy, with wages down £1700 on average, energy bills up £300 and 40,000 families hit by the hated bedroom tax.
In Ed Miliband we have a strong and determined leader who is taking the fight to David Cameron and his out-of-touch Government. Ed has put together a formidable team and in the remaining 20 months before the General Election we'll be relentless in our efforts to expose the failure of the Tory-led Government to tackle the cost of living crisis and to offer hope to the British people that there is an alternative.

Beautiful lake and grounds but from what others said, the other lodging facilities were very basic. Lovely big lobby with rockers on the front porch where we sat overlooking the lake and watched the sun go down over the mountains the first night we were there.
Great place for a group to stay. Beautiful trail (about 2 miles) around the lake.

I have to find out the derivative of given function by using 'first principle method', but the question has eaten half of my brain, the problem is first principle method. The function is $f(x)= \tan x\sec x$.
Because they are more familiar, we express $f(x)$ in terms of sines and cosines. We get $$f(x)=\frac{\sin x}{\cos^2 x}=\frac{\sin x}{1-\sin^2 x}.$$ Thus $$f'(x)=\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{\frac{\sin(x+h)}{1-\sin^2(x+h)}-\frac{\sin x}{1-\sin^2 x}}{h}.$$ We will need to impose the condition $\sin x\ne \pm 1$. Bring the top to the common denominator $(1-\sin^2(x+h))(1-\sin^2 x)$. Some algebra shows that we want $$\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{1+\sin(x+h)\sin x}{(1-\sin^2(x+h))(1-\sin^2 x)} \frac{\sin(x+h)-\sin x}{h}.$$
Now copy the standard first principles argument that shows that $\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sin(x+h)-\sin x}{h}=\cos x$. The limits of the remaining terms are easy to compute.
Hint: I will map out the approach and see if you can follow it.
So, you have $f(x) = \tan(x) \sec(x)$
Let $u(x) = \tan(x)$ and $v(x) = sec(x)$?
Using first principles, you can derive the equation $f'(x)$ for $f(x) = u(x)v(x)$, because we have:
$$ \displaystyle \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} = \large \frac{f(a + h) - f(a)}{h} = \frac{u(a + h)v(a + h) - u(a)v(a)}{h}$$
After expanding this and taking the limit, we see that it reduces to $f'(x) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x)$.
Do you see that this is the product rule? Do you follow this? Can you actually derive it?
Now, we need $u'(x)$ and $v'(x)$ for $\tan(x)$ and $sec(x)$ and here we will make use of first principles again for those derivatives.
Find the derivative of $\tan(x)$ using first principles.
Using the identity $\sin(A)\cos(B) - \cos(A)\sin(B) = \sin(A-B)$, we find
$\tan(x+h) - \tan(x)$
$= \large \frac{\sin(x+h)}{\cos(x+h)} - \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$
$ = \large \frac{\sin(x+h)\cos(x)-\cos(x+h)\sin(x)}{\cos(x+h)\cos(x)}$
$ = \large \frac{\sin(x+h-x)}{\cos(x+h)\cos(x)}$
$ = \large \frac{\sin(h)}{\cos(x+h)\cos(x)}$
$\Rightarrow \large \frac{\tan(x+h) - \tan(x)}{h} = \frac{\sin(h)}{h}[\frac{1}{\cos(x+h)\cos(x)}]$
$\Rightarrow \large \displaystyle \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan(x+h) - \tan(x)}{h} = \frac{1}{\cos^{2}(x)} = \sec^{2}(x)$
Can you finish it off? Hint: Find the derivative of $\sec(x)$ using first principles and then use the product rule we derived above.
The final result should be: $$f'(x) = \sec(x) (\tan^{2}(x) + \sec^{2}(x))$$

Turkey is a member of NATO and has been since 1952. As such it has information about NATO's military capacity, strategy etc. Turkey has also had a long-standing relationship with the Israeli military and knows a lot about Israel's weaponry. Turkey may also be party to NATO and Israeli secrets which would be of interest to its and Israel's enemies.
At the same time as Turkey is a member of NATO it is blatantly supporting the Iranian regime and Hamas (Erdogan publicly stated that Hamas is not a terrorist organisation but people fighting to defend their land!)
I believe that Turkey is now in breach of the NATO charter and should be suspended indefinitely. Surely its cosying up to regimes inimical to the other members of NATO is extremely dangerous and, of course, although Israel is not a member of NATO, the same danger applies. We do not know what Turkey knows about Israel's secrets.
We need influential organisations to put out this story. There has been absolutely no mention of the problem with Turkey's NATO membership in the press as far as I know.
With Israel under attack from every conceivable angle it is important to put pressure on the Turkish government which has got away scot free after the flotilla incident for which it was responsible. It is vital to restore a secular democracy to Turkey for Israel's sake and to thwart Islamist states like Iran. Turkey is pivotal to Europe's and Israel's interests, so why the silence?

This place is such a hidden gem and good value for money. It is a family-run business, and the owner Yannis offers FREE pick up to and from the port. When you walk in, there is a beautiful dining atmosphere facing the coastline. It is only a short-walk to town, beautiful scenic walk too, for 32Euros for a private ensuite, you can't beat that value anywhere else!

Great place to stay. You're in a private room. Close to the port. They pick you up and drop you off which is nice. Staff is family run so they try give you as much help as you need. Only disappointment really was they charged €25 per day on the quads. Which at the time I didn't realise was expensive. Here now in Santorini, they charge €15. So just a heads up on that...

From the Back Cover
unless you make your training memorable. This essential resource is your way to make your mark. Fifty ways to close your training sessions and presentations so they won?t forget you?or your training.
People forget your training faster than you think. One year after a training event, participants retain and use only 15% of what they learned! Your training might be engaging, but if participants don?t transfer their learning to the workplace, your efforts will be wasted.
Why is your training so forgettable?and what can you do to fix it? According to training master Bob Pike, two of the most important learning concepts are "primacy" and "recency." People don?t remember middles?they remember beginnings (primacy) and ends (recency). Many trainers already use primacy to their advantage. They start training sessions memorably with a rousing icebreaker, or with a spirited overview of what?s to follow.
But you?re probably letting the ends slip through your fingers. Some trainers conclude training sessions by looking at their watches and saying, "Oh, time?s up! Goodbye!" By trailing off with a whisper, you?re missing an opportunity to reinforce your training. You?re helping your participants to forget everything you?ve taught them. And you?re ensuring that your participants won?t transfer their learning to the workplace.
Stop this brain drain by ending with a bang! This invaluable book is packed with practical closers. Each activity lists the necessary time and equipment, a suggested group size, and an intended purpose, so you can choose one that?s just right for your needs. Solem and Pike show you all the essentials, and preparation is quick and easy. So little time to invest for such a HUGE payoff! This book is training dynamite: make it your secret weapon today.

So one day when Alex and I were on the way back from the shop enjoying one of our many Cadbury's Wishes. The child inside me assumed that Cadbury's Wishes are called that because you have to make a wish when you eat them. So, I wondered aloud to Alex whether you make your wish when you take your first bite or you make your wish when you take the last bite. And Alex laughed and said, "You know, you should write to Cadbury's and ask them." So, I did. I wrote a handwritten letter to Cadbury's asking them that very question; whether you make your wish when you take your first bite or when you take your last. I even put underneath my name, age 20, so they didn't think I was like a 5 year old child just not not worth the reply. When I got home this morning there sitting on the kitchen counter for me was a reply
Dear Ms. Fletcher,
We conducted a poll around the office and suggest that you make your wish with the first bite which gives a little more time for the chocolate to work its magic.
Official! Magic chocolate that is! Magic, magic chocolate! You heard it here first.

Ms. Mae and Mr. Mac
Why should you care about the fiscal health of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae?
Even after Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's announcement last night that the federal government is here to help, I still wasn't sure why, exactly, I should care. Well, these two "quasi-governmental" organizations were created by Congress to help make it easier to get home loans. They now back or insure more than five trillion dollars in mortgages. The mortgages are often bundled in mortgage-backed securities, which are sold on Wall Street. These securities are guaranteed — if a homeowner defaults on a loan, the Mac or the Mae pays it, and the investor doesn't suffer. But now, with foreclosures surging, they face the possibility of having to pay out more than they have in reserves.
So, IF Frannie&Freddie went under, it could cripple the credit markets and wreak havoc on the housing market, in which few would ever be able to get a home loan. So... If need be, the government will step in. Do you care yet? Here's another reason: This is a weird situation — if the securities are doing well, making money, investors receive dividends... but if they aren't, taxpayers make up the difference in the form of the government bailout. Huh? Exactly.

I am beyond angry that my tax dollars are being utilized to correct other people's bad decisions. I knew it would happen, but it is still unforgivable. Let's sell some of the brokers' mansions to make up the money!!!!
You need to make it clear that the total outstanding loans equal $5 Trillion. Just because that is outstanding does not mean every single mortgage that makes up that total is going to default. Stop adding to the hysteria.
With housing prices dropping 10-30% aren't all mortgage banks technically bankrupt since the typical mortage is 20% down? With Fanny and Freddy mortgages typically 5%?
How exactly does the Government "back" Fredy Mac & Fanny Mae?
Whose budget does that money come from and will the Government have to borrow more money from China (or somewhere else) in order to pay for it?
While it is clear that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's dropping stock prices and liquidity issues are certainly concerning, to say that if the companies fail, the economy would suffer a loss of 5 trillion dollars is absurd. Yes, the real estate market in many markets around the country have seen values decline, the reality is the bulk of the country is seeing stable market values. Most of the mortgages in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae's portfolios are not going to default. This is yet another example of how irresponsible media create false crisis so that the incessant talking heads of the 24 hour news cycle have something to discuss.
When the housing industry was booming, everyone applauded the American system which has provided homeownership opportunities to millions of Americans. Homeownership for most Americans is the single greatest source of wealth. It may be several years before the issues in the real estate market work themselves out, our housing market will rebound.
I thought that the real problem here was created by those lending institutions that made "sub-prime" loans. My understanding is that Freddie and Fannie don't and can't buy sub-prime loans. Isn't the problem for Freddie and Fannie really the declining housing price market, which was more created by the sub-prime problems, than something Freddie and Fannie did?
When these programs are formed, why don't we set them up as COOPs rather than for profit organizations. That way they serve us ,the consumer, rather than executive salaries and shareholder profits.
What other efforts can the government make to stimulate the real estate market? Would the Fed lower interest rates? What about inflation?
Anyone who thinks that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be left to the wolves of the market makes about as much sense as Andrew Mellon did in 1930 saying "liquidate, liquidate, liquidate."
First off, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are regulation success stories. In exchange for an implicit government guarrantee for their debt they have to obey stricter lending standards (i.e "subprime" is by definition below what Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can underwrite).
Thus Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have weathered the housing crisis much better than the 200+ other lenders that have gone under.
So, if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac didn't make subprime loans, why are they in trouble? Because prices for all homes are falling, not just ones with subprime mortgages. This plus the recession is causing an uptick in bad loans even for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, so they need more capital to write off the bad loans. And they don't have they money (which can be blamed on lax regulations, not over-regulation).
But saying that the market will solve everything is foolhardy nonsense. Without the GSE's home lending would cease, and we'd be straight back in the Depresssion era conditions which led to the creation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the first place.
We currently hold an Option ARM on a piece of rental property. We did this knowingly. Many years ago, when we attempted to sell the house due to a required employment move, the bank refused to even talk to us about anything but "make the payments". We did so for years, absorbing losses when the rent did not meet the payments. When presented with a means to recover equity that had rebuilt over the years (the home lost over 50% of its equity in the mid 1980's), we took the loan. We will deal with the loan recast when it happens.
Secondly, if we had rented our primary residence for the last two and a half decades, we would have been penalized on our taxes (we would not have been able to itemize our deductions, etc.) Until the entire scheme of tax, real estate, and related laws and regulations are re-balanced to allow people to rent without being penalized, the housing industry will continue to be a powerful force on Capitol Hill.
How is this different from the Savings and Loan debacle of the late '80s???? This is breaking the backs of the average tax payers, once AGAIN!!
Thanks to you and your guests for covering this difficult topic, but there is one thing that I think merits consideration: That is, if there is value to either Fannie or Freddie, where are the Warren Buffets or Sovereign Wealth Funds as they were with other interventions this past year?
The discussion of FNMA and FHMC included the question from Gretchen that, "We don't know how much subprime they have." According to Paul Krugman in today's NY Times, "Also, they didn't do any subprime lending, because they can't: the definition of a subprime loan is precisely a loan that doesn't meet the requirement, imposed by law, that Tannie and Freddie buy only mortgages issued to borrowers who made substantial down payments and carefully documented their income."
Let's not lose our prospective entirely and panic needlessly. Let's get our facts straight.
Let them crash, and let the rest of it burn with them. Better than slow decay, let us instead pay for our mistakes and greed. It is inconceivable that an institution that is incapable of managing the money it already has be allowed to continue, even at the cost of those who were to foolish to buy only what they could afford. They deserve no better. What this means is that no matter what investment I take, whether fair or or poor, I will be granted the security of always seeing a profit from it? The imbecility of others is none of my business. Period.
I think that the run up in home prices in the U.S. and other stable housing markets was driven by a need by investors around the world to park money where they could see a return on investment more favorable than bond markets.The banks devised very questionable mortgages to generate a vehicle for these investors who are global(see trillions in cash that chinese investors and others held)The banks made money every time a mortgage was written.They were greedy,the appraisers and underwriters and politicians and regulators were well paid.The housing market collapsed,our houses are overvalued and the government is acting to rescue investor capital in a market which is resisting valuation or transparency.I would like to see government act to remove the housing stock from being a vehicle for profit from global investors.I would like to see transparency in the lending process on paperwork.I would like to see the government to realign itself to be a voice for the average american and become relevant again to the individual.
I have to take issue with Adam Hall's comments. To anyone that has followed the Fannie Mae story (the Wall Street Journal editorial page today has a link to all of its pieces on Mae/Mac over the past six years) for a while, this recent media coverage is a bit interesting, to say the least. The danger signs of their practice of trying to imply that their loans were backed by the federal government (when they were clearly not) have been present for 6 years or more. Rep Chuck Schumer has made the backing of Mae/Mac his personal mission. I am certainly not implying he is on the take, but it is well known that the home builders association and Mae/Mac donate rather freely to both parties campaigns. Today's guest on Talk of the Nation was certainly trying to downplay the enormity of the 5 Trillion dollars worth of debt that Mae/Mac holds. To say that "well, it is only a problem if everyone sells their house right now. If people waited and sold their house a few years from now, when the housing market has rebounded..." I think the guest is completely out of touch with what this represents. How can you possibly downplay the importance of 1/3 of our GDP? The stock price tumble of Mae/Mac is what it is. It is a measure of how its investors value Mae/Mac. The market has spoken. Now we get to watch as the politicians scramble to cover their bacon. The end result will be that the higher income taxpayers will fund this debacle. Their past implication will be today's reality-Mae/Mac will be federally backed. Wow. I wish I ran a company that I could reap the profits and get bailed out when there is a correction. My hats are off to the chiefs at Mae/Mac. What a masterstroke. It'll be interesting to hear what Schumer will be saying now. I bet the silence will be deafening.
One of your speakers mentioned that money market funds are invested heavily in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Since the stock market is not considered safe, many investors moved their money to money market funds assuming that this is fairly safe.
My questions are -- do I risk losing my money market investment as result of what is going on right now? , are institutions like vanguard facing potential problems as well?
The increase in interest rates and subsequent decline in housing prices that will occur if we allow these agencies to fail will affect everyone, not just homeowners or employees at the agencies. Our national economy is consumer-driven. Many consumers have been funding their spending with 2nd mortgages based on accrued equity as their home appreciated. If that equity continues to fall--or falls more dramatically--consumer spending will fall through the floor. Then economy will truly be in trouble--moreso than 0% growth state we are all currently bemoaning.
It appears to me that those who think letting the agencies crash will primarily hurt sub-prime mortgage writers are not aware of this. We are all in this together. These agencies are too important to our current economic structure to let fail.
I haven't heard any discussion, or read any news report, about what is happening to all those PMI premiums. Private Mortgage Insurance is paid by the borrower to insure the lender in case of default. What's happening to all that money and why have I been paying it for almost 10 years?
It is unethical for the Treasury and Paulson to bail out Fannie and Freddie when they are owned by stockholders who invested hoping to profit...they took a risk like all stockholders and if they lose, they lose. Is the Treasury going to bail out GM, the airlines, etc. at the expense of the taxpayers...let the companies correct themselves and not at the taxpayers expense...
Having read numerous articles on the losses suffered by FNMA and FHLMC, I have not seen an analysis for the reasons for the losses. The decline of property values is only one of the elements. FNMA and FHLMC's automated underwriting systems utilized by the lenders that sell to FNMA and FHLMC are a huge part of the problem. The underwriting of the loans is rarely done by experienced underwriters. The goal since underwriting departments are in 'production' departments is quantity not quality. With the drive for production and the use of inexperienced staff, it opens the door for the mortgage fraudsters that ravaged the sub-prime market. If the prime mortgage world thinks they are insulated from fraud - think again. Mortgage fraud is a cash-cow for professional fraudsters who know the system.

slice': wrong number of arguments (0 for 1..2) (ArgumentError)
from /scope.rb:2:in'
Also tried
slice[appoint.length..-4] and some other things.
From reading other questions, I gathered that this was how such a slice was done. I'm not familiar with the regex pattern. I'd actually like to be able tot return the day of the week, as well, which may mean

This is the final volume of the series dealing with the diseases, surgery and hygiene of the war as it concerned the British army. Other volumes on the organization and military phases remain to be completed. It is pointed out in the preface that many of the contributions to this volume have a more individual character than those in the preceding volumes, since they deal largely with personal researches and investigations of their respective authors into the pathology of disease. Special attention may be called in this connection to the important contribution by Prof. J. G. Adami on influenza; the article by Clifford Dobell on amebic dysentery; by Sir K. W. Goadby on latent sepsis; by Sir Arthur Keith on collection of pathologic specimens; by Sir W. B. Leishman on the enteric fevers and by Sir Almroth Wright on physiology of wounds.

Paul Simon and Edie Brickell have been married since 30th May 1992. [view couple]
Paul Frederic Simon (born October 13, 1941) is an American musician, actor and singer-songwriter. Simon's fame, influence, and commercial success began as part of the duo Simon & Garfunkel, formed in 1964 with musical partner Art Garfunkel. Simon... wrote nearly all of the pair's songs, including three that reached No. 1 on the U.S. singles charts: "The Sound of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson", and "Bridge over Troubled Water". The duo split up in 1970 at the height of their popularity, and Simon began a successful solo career as a guitarist and singer-songwriter, recording three highly acclaimed albums over the next five years. In 1986, he released Graceland, an album inspired by South African township music. Simon also wrote and starred in the film One-Trick Pony (1980) and co-wrote the Broadway musical The Capeman (1998) with the poet Derek Walcott.

ho scoperto da qualche anno la musica di poul simon: ma devo dire che se anche io sono nata nel 1959,ho saputo apprezzare la sua musicalità e le sue melodie.Mi sono profondamente e pazzamente innamorati di paul non solo come artista ma anche come uomo.Mi ha fatto letteralmente impazzire,ancora oggi come ieri.

A knife-wielding former employee killed 19 people and injured 25 at a care centre for the mentally disabled in Japan on Tuesday, in the country's worst mass killing in decades. Authorities identified the attacker as Satoshi Uematsu and said he had worked at the facility in Sagamihara, a city of more than 700,000 people west of Tokyo, until February. Broadcaster NTV said the man told police he had been fired and held a grudge against the care centre.
By David Milliken LONDON (Reuters) - Britain could borrow nearly 65 billion pounds more than planned in the next couple of years as new Chancellor Philip Hammond seeks to 'reset' government budget policy to ease the shock of last month's vote to leave the European Union. Ratings agencies and economists widely expect borrowing to rise materially next year for the first time since 2010, as Hammond has to call time - temporarily - on the austerity which dominated his predecessor George Osborne's six years in office. After taking office two weeks ago, Hammond said the darker post-Brexit outlook meant policies the Conservative government had pursued since 2010 needed to change - and economists are now starting to put numbers on what this might mean.
MEETEETSE, Wyo. (AP) — Long gone from these parts, black-footed ferrets still appear on Meeteetse's town logo, in a bronze sculpture downtown and even on coffee mugs from a downtown restaurant, remembered for when the nocturnal weasels made their last stand in the nearby sagebrush hills.

Just Exhale
Collects the first four short stories from the Elemental Micah Series. Available for £9.99 in shops at Orbital Comics and Mega City Comics or online! published via Orang Utan Comics!
With individual issues
Micah Sampson
Micah left school as soon as he possibly could to startwork, but has recently quit working at Dauf Supermarket. Of all thetimes to develop them, he discovers he has superpowers the night he loses his virginity. Now he has to discovers whether he's a hero, a villain or the half arsed bit in-between.
Issues 1,2,3,4,5
Dana Osbourne
Dana is a rather gifted actor and desperately wants to work with children as a school teacher. Unfortunately, she has enough problems what with an over bearing boyfriend, a criminally inclined uncle and a childhood friend who can smash through walls just by breathing heavily.
Issues 1,2,3,4,5
Simon Joseph
His world has currently been turned upside down in a foreign land and not necessarily because his one night stand has powers. When he's not taking continual retakes of his IT course, Simon is charming the customers at the local supermarket fishery.
Issues 1,2,3,4
Alfonzo is Micah's loyal three year old Rhodesian Ridgeback dog. While parks and walkies bore him, tornadoes and earthquakes make him happy as Larry.Or Alfonzo. His hobbies include barking, chasing squirrels and panting.
Issues 1,2,3,4,5
Teresa Harper
Extremely ambitious, Teresa loves all types of music and hopes to make music her career. The only thing she loves more than music is people. Teresa is often seen flitting between different social groups, much to the dismay of her closest friends.
Issues 4,5
Edmond Grimes
Edmond found a lot of solace in being a rebellious teen at school, away from a hectic and often abusive household. Now, a few years after he's finished, everything seems to be changing and he's trying to cope with living in the adult world.
Appearances so far:
Issue 2
Kevin Sampson
Dedicated family man and military expert, Kevin appears to be the perfect father. Being an orphan himself, he knows how important it is to raise a son well. Despite this, Kevin keeps a lot of secrets and they have a way of disrupting his life in quite devastating ways.
Issues 4,5
The MOMBcomics podcast did a special audio interview with the author and artist of Elemental Micah, Michael Georgiou. You can download and listen to it via this link
Interview Link
"We first meet Micah in issue one in a scene that sets character and story so perfectly that even now, a month or so after first reading, I still find myself smiling at the thought of."
Monkey on my Back Podcast Review
Issues 1, 2 ,3 and 4 by James Gillie
"The characters seem to hesitate between terror and elation, between crawling under their bed while hugging their teddy bears, to shouting from the rooftops 'I can make a tornado appear!'"
Issues 1, 2 and 3 review
"I must say I'm now even more intrigued about the world he's building with Elemental Micah."
Issue 4 review
The Gay Comics List - by François Peneaud
"Perhaps 'hero' wasn't a fully appropriate term. It's easy to see how somebody shy or lonely, somebody a little overweight and conscious of it, somebody gay, could see themselves in Micah's shoes in a way that they couldn't with Clark Kent or Jason Bourne."
Vol. 1 Just Exhale Review
A Place to Hang your Cape - by Joe Sport
"Elemental Micah blends the outlandish fantasy of superhero comics with the bittersweet existentialism of confessional autobiography to create a story that, so far, is one of the most enjoyable, touching and genuinely intriguing I've read for a long time."
Antidotes to DC Comics - by C.J. Lines Starburst Magazine
"(Usually) puberty is the catalyst for an otherwise normal appearing kid to develop mutant powers, but what if the catalyst is sex, or even the anticipation of sex with someone you desire? Georgiou answers that question, and it has both unforeseen consequences on personal and epic scales."
Gay League Review
Issues 1, 2 and 3 - by Joe Palmer
Who is Elemental Micah?
When you lost your virginity, did you feel like a God? Micah did.
For a guy who is overweight, slobby, gay with very poor eyesight, a very broken nose and a name people never seem to get right, you wonder whether the Fates were on the ale when they were choosing him.
Or did the Fates choose him?
How did he gain these powers? Did he earn them mystically, inherit them from his family or was he in contact with a radioactive animal of sorts?
And what's the purpose of having these powers? There aren't any super villains around, so who does he really have to fight? Is there actually a need for a person with such luxuries if, as it is believed, he is the only one?
Until he finds out, he'll keep having his misadventures with Dana, Simon and his dog Alfonzo and hopefully he'll discover the meaning of his existence.
Urban Legends
While Micah, Dana, Simon and Alfonzo have their own stories to tell, there are certain mysteries and fables, urban legends if you will, floating about from varying sources, such as leaked military documents, revered clairvoyants and even the odd children's author.
Whether these stories are the invention of manipulative or delusional individuals is always up for debate, but it is important to document such events as even rumours and myths stem from some truth. If nothing else, they're most certainly an intriging read.

Mister Cee gives an emotional interview to Hot 97′s Ebro after being caught – again – with a transgender prostitute. In this emotional, teary interview, Cee admits to having "fellatio" from a transexual, however insists he is "not gay". Cee resigned from the station for about 24 hours, but was "back on the box" later in the day, with a new mix.
Man, at the beginning I thought it was funny, but then you realize dude is going through some shit. I still don't think dude is being honest though, a man don't cry that much and get that emotional just for getting sexual with transvestites. Dude is bisexual. He can't say it. I still don't think he's fully honest, because that is what he is if he's willing to participate in sexual acts with people he knows are dudes. Respect to Mr. Cee for coming out, but he still hasn't fully admitted it, but I guess that's something in hip hop. I remember Fatlip from the Pharcyde said he got his dick sucked by a chick that turned out to be a dude. He thought it was funny, laughed about it, and even made a verse about it. Mister Cee needs to lighten up and come clean. Frank Ocean did that shit too.
LMAO. NOw that I heard the video the hooker recorded. Shit is made creepy and gross. HAHAHAHA but to each their own I suppose.
actually bro interviewing him, gets respect for being a cool dude.
Why can't he just admit that he's gay? It's just stupid trying to deny it.

Beach House Reviewed by Dunamis
Set 4996
522 Pieces
$29.95 from Target
Build time 90 minutes
Yet another interesting Creator theme house. This one comes fresh of the 2008 line of sets and promises 3 different models. Packing 522 pieces (albeit a lot of 1x1 plates) for only $29.95 it was hard to pass this one by as I was foraging for the new 2008 Star Wars sets at the local Target. Plus, I was itching to do another review since I had finally fully recovered from my marathon UCS Falcon review which took the better part a month to complete.
The Box:
The box is pretty standard Creator type box which shows off the three models (beach house, Caf� and �towering� apartment building.)
The back of the box shows some of the features of the three models.
Interesting features of the three models prominently displayed on the back include:
- Food counter complete with coffee (espresso) maker and food warmer (with chicken leg!)
- Home office complete with laptop (and the ubiquitous coffee cup.)
- Flip up roof granting access inside of beach house. Note the satellite TV dish and even rain gutters along the roofline!
Opening the box is a matter of breaking two seals. We�re back to the reusable cereal box type tab system that we saw so often in 2007 sets. Note the parts inventory is on the side of the box as well. This is a nice feature.
Once inside the box, we are greeted by eight sealed bags plus two yellow 16x2 plates and a green 32x16 baseplate.
Thank goodness there is no DSS (dreaded sticker sheet) but alas there are no minifigs. In addition, there are the three manuals (one for each model) and they were stuffed into my box with the care of kid trying to put 10 gallons (or liters if you prefer) of candy in a 5 gallon bucket. But hey, we�re not collecting manuals here so who cares if the manuals are all bent and warped?
The Manuals:
The three manuals are 74, 72 and 48 pages in length. They are laid out well and are pretty standard with all the usual trimmings:
- Piece call outs for each step

Color separation in these manuals were fine for me.
Plus, we get the usual verbose LEGO instructions on not dumping all your pieces outside in the grass and not to dump all your pieces into a single pile. Thanks for the tip, TLG!
Parts list
The Pieces:
Pretty standard stuff here and as I mentioned, lots of 1x1 plates and tiles (at least 100.) However, we do get quite a few windows and a couple of doors. A majority of the color is black and yellow. I did see a few pieces that I was not familiar with so I�m going to show them below. Keep in mind I�m not a parts jockey so bear with me if I think a part is brand new for 2008 and it was actually released with the classic space line.
2x2 Window (fixed) and 4x3 window that opens:
The follow photo shows the window glass (same as in Corner Caf�), door glass and new black parts. Turns out these black parts are used as wheels. I showed the window glass because it still contains the molding circle just like they did before. It is hard to see from the photo, but it is there. The door glass I think might be new:
I don�t recall seeing these 2x2 round plates with clips before and I thought I would show the mail only because it is printed and not a sticker:
I know these are common, but didn�t they have four studs on top? These only have two:
How about this sloped 4x3 window that opens:
Overall a nice assortment of parts with nothing juniorized.
The Build:
The build was fun and was fairly straightforward. Once you figure out which of the three models to build, it goes pretty quick. Here are a few shots:
See how the inside is made:
Look at the detail with the flowers and even the outside water faucet!
Outdoor seating area:
Upstairs being built:
Upstairs with opening roof (notice the satellite TV dish):
Check out the patio on the upstairs complete with outdoor light and rain gutters!
Here�s my favorite, the BBQ grill. At least we know where those new parts go:
Finally, check out the tree. No juniorization here!
Here is what is left over:
So far, I have only built the primary model. The others look interesting, especially the caf�.
The Design:
The design was well done. Very rich in detail. I love how there are no juniorized parts. The house is accessible by taking off the top floor (like Caf� Corner and Market Street). There is an internal staircase as well. There is no interior to speak of in the beach house, but there is in the other two models.
The only real negative is that it is kind of small when you get it done. It would be nice if it was about 50% bigger.
Here are a few views of the beach house with a few minifigs thrown in:
Check out the close-up of the caf� which I think looks great:
Also, here is a photo of the interior of the apartment building where you can see the office and computer:
Overall Thoughts:
It is a really nice set. A tad on the small side but it has some great detail and lots of features. Quick enough to build all three models and would fit real nice into an existing town plan. Is minifig scale, but does not come with any. Lots of window parts and black slopes. Is a nice diversion from the onslaught of Clone Wars ships that we can�t remember seeing from the movies.
Final Rating: 84%
Build 9/10 (Pretty quick and fun.)
Functionality 9/10 (It is a Creator set so you have multiple varied builds. Diverse enough to keep the kids entertained.)
Design 10/10 (Excellent and well thought out. Outstanding detail for such a small model.)
Parts 6/10 (Fair, nothing earth-shattering but lots of slopes and windows.)
Price 8/10 (Price ratio is good but you get a lot of little parts. Would be better with minifigs.)
