More than £1m for broadband in rural Worcestershire
2:43pm Monday 7th April 2014 in News
ABOUT 1,400 more homes and businesses in rural Worcestershire will be able to link up to high-speed fibre broadband thanks to more than £1 million of government cash.
Worcestershire County Council has been given a grant of £1,147,032 by the Broadband Delivery UK scheme run by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to help bring high-speed internet to rural communities.
The grant – the result of two years of work by the council along with community representatives in Ombersley, Honeybourne, Pebworth, Castlemorton, Birtsmorton and Welland as well as Doverdale and Holt, Abberley, Defford and Besford - follows £3.35 million previously invested by the government, which is already being used to make fibre broadband available to more than 90 per cent of people in the county over the next three years.
The council's cabinet member for skills, economy and infrastructure Cllr Simon Geraghty welcomed the announcement.
"I am so pleased to be able to confirm this additional funding for Worcestershire to become further connected and enable fibre-Broadband to reach additional rural areas," he said.
"The county-wide scheme is already ambitious and committed to reaching over 90 per cent of our residents and businesses and this further funding will help us to extend that reach into more rural areas where we know this will support both residents and businesses.
"I would encourage everyone to sign up via our website to receive updates about any improvements in your local area."
Communities minister Ed Vaizey described it as "excellent news for these rural communities in Worcestershire".
"The UK already does more business online than any other European country and widespread access to superfast speeds will provide a welcome boost to Worcestershire's economy," he said.
The county council will now work to explore how the funding can be best used.

Thankfully Airband provide me with 30mb+ broadband to my home and after almost 12 months of continual, un-interupted service, I don't think I would ever rely on BT to provide my service even if they could!
Note to WCC....wired is not the only choice!

Seattle's Felix Hernandez threw Major League Baseball's third perfect game of the season — a record — joining San Francisco's Matt Cain and the White Sox's Philip Humber, who also tossed his gem at Safeco Field.
That means six of the 23 perfectos in baseball history have come since 2009. Little wonder this is being called the Decade of the Pitcher.
Still not impressed? It gets better. Hernandez's gem was the sixth no-hitter this season. One more and major league pitchers will have tied the seven set in 1990 and matched a season later.
There's only been one year with eight no-hitters. Want to guess? Here's a hint: Chester Arthur was president. That season was 1884.

It included three of the four active players who've surpassed the 500 mark and was prefaced by the introduction of 10 more who have retired.
"After I saw those guys walking in front of me, I just got chills," Tejada said. "It was unbelievable. Never in my life did I think I'd have these guys say hello to me."
"But that last round, I think i just ran out of gas. It was hot. There's no excuses, obviously. Tejada set the record for the most homers in a derby. He obviously deserved to win."
Tejada, using Kansas City manager and American League All-Star coach Tony Pena as a batting practice pitcher, got into an even better groove. His longest was 497 feet disappearing into the dark Texas night.
"This is a great thing for baseball," Bonds said before the performances on the field had a chance to overshadow the memories of all those legends in attendance. "You've got to remember I've been around baseball my whole life so I know all these guys. It's like being around a great big family."
A family that included Hank Aaron (755 homers) sitting to his right and Willie Mays (660), his godfather, sitting to his left during the media conference that also included Commissioner Bud Selig.
For Berkman, a switch-hitter, it was just an evening of unexpected fun.
"It's the Wild Card," Berkman said about he and Tejada competing for rights to win the Derby. "Just like the last two years, the Wild Card (Angels and Marlins) has won the World Series."

I want wi-fi access for my 2010 2.8Ghz mac pro. Should I buy Airport Extreme base station?
I do not have the following:
1) An AirPort card fitted - really expensive call-out charge and part
2) Would rather not run a cable throughout house to the router downstairs, as it is rented accomodation.
Will the Airport Extreme base station, pick up the wi-fi from downstairs?
Or do i definately need an ethernet cable draped all over the house to the Virgin Media router for a cheaper option?
(Have tried using a usb ralink but it has stopped working and want something more substantial)
What's the best option?
Thanks for any advice! It's such a headache knowing what to do!

Isolation of Fetal Hepatic Stem Cells for In Utero Transplantation

Public Abstract:
This research project is aimed at developing a new form of liver transplantation to treat birth defects that prevent normal liver function using liver cells isolated from discarded fetal tissues. It is now possible to detect many inherited diseases early in pregnancy. It may also be possible to treat diseases that prevent normal stem cell function by transplantation of healthy stem cells before birth. There are potential advantages to such a therapy such as early treatment of disease and a lower risk of rejection because the fetal immune system is not developed. This proposal studies a number of methods aimed at testing the effectiveness of transplanting liver stem cells into a fetus to treat liver disease. Often transplanting healthy cells offers treatment or a cure for many genetic diseases as well as other illnesses caused by viral infection or cancer. However, a lack of available or suitable donor tissue prevents such therapy in many cases. Fetal tissues are a source of stem cells available from elective abortions that are generally discarded. Harvesting liver cells from these tissues to treat patients with liver diseases offers the possibility of increasing the pool of donor cells that are available transplantation. This proposal studies the feasibility of banking fetal liver for transplantation.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Liver diseases caused by viral infection, drugs or inherited disease affect many thousands of Californians. Often, transplanting healthy cells offers treatment or a cure for many of these diseases, but a lack of available or suitable donor tissue prevents such therapy in many cases. Use of fetal stem cells offers the hope of generating a greater supply of tissues for cellular therapy. The development of prenatal liver transplantation would also offer additional means to treat birth defects that affect normal liver function. The successful outcome of this work will offer new hope to many Californians suffering from liver diseases. This will improve lives and save money on long-term health care costs associated with these diseases. Development of the technologies and expertise to bring these novel forms of therapy from the laboratory bench to hospital bedside will also keep California in the forefront of the biotechnology industry, will attract talented scientists and clinicians to California and will create high-paying jobs.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: The project focuses on developing human fetal hepatic stem cells and intrauterine transplantation as a prenatal cellular therapy to treat a wide variety of liver disorders. The project is organized into three specific aims. In the first aim, the PI will use cell surface markers and cell sorting to identify a population of hepatic stem cells in the human fetal liver.The stated hypothesis is to "test the hypothesis that human fetal hepatoblasts and hepatic stem cells can be identified by their levels of CD34, CD66a, CD203c and CD326." Using these markers to sort the cells from fetal liver, the PI proposes to test their potential for generating hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. In Aim 2 the potential of the isolated cells will be tested in an animal model with injection of the cells into fetal liver or placental vessels. The PI intends to test two strategies of in utero therapy including direct injection of fetal hepatic stem cells into the liver, and a second strategy to inoculate hematopoietic cells in utero to induce immunological tolerance followed by postnatal liver cell transplantation of liver cells from the same donor. The hosts will be allogeneic or xenogeneic (human cell transplants), and the endpoint of analysis is "efficiency of transplantation". Aim 3, which is aligned with the PI's independent blood systems research institute, is to develop clinically applicable methods for procuring, processing and banking human fetal hepatic precursors. STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE RESEARCH PLAN: This proposal will use the novel approach of in utero transplantation to assay the effectiveness of pre-natal stem cell therapy for the liver and blood systems. Inherent in this study is the identification of novel populations of hepatic precursor cells and new methods for cell isolation from the liver. If successful, these studies could encourage future clinical trials of in utero transplantation for human liver disease. The application to human disease is primarily focused on neonatal liver diseases including inborn errors of metabolism or neonatal liver failure. In general, these are relatively uncommon conditions. If human fetal hepatic stem cells would be used as a donor source for adult liver disease a significant degree of expansion would be necessary, an aspect that is not directly addressed by this proposal. The major innovation in the work is the use of fetal injection to test stem cell potential in the context of all the normal developmental cues provided by the uterine environment. The injection of cells into the liver presumes they will not migrate from there, and the injection of cells in the placenta vessels is presumably made under the assumption that the cells will migrate to an appropriate environment and stay there for differentiation. But the analysis does not account for either of these scenarios. Only liver will be examined. The idea of correcting liver diseases in utero is an interesting one, but the PI has not chosen interesting animal models, suggesting that there is not a good understanding of the clinical needs in this area. For example, hemophilia does not cause damage to the hepatocytes despite several statements in the grant to the contrary. It is true that patients with hemophilia who receive a liver transplant also have their hemophilia cured (because the donor liver hepatocytes are capable of synthesizing the missing clotting factor), but liver transplants are usually done because the patients have another disease (such as viral hepatitis) that damages their liver. In fact, it is completely conceivable that gene therapy approaches with clotting factors produced by any cell could work for this disease—no liver stem cells or hepatocytes are required. The reviewers cited concerns regarding feasibility of the project, based on concerns of limited preliminary data. This application does not articulate well the challenges that need to be overcome to develop in utero patient therapy for hepatic diseases for fetuses or infants. Aim 1 to study subpopulations of hepatic stem cells by flow cytometry appears realistic and doable. The investigators have some preliminary data to support these investigations. Multiple markers will be used which is important as one marker would probably not be sufficient. Although there is a good deal of enthusiasm for the experiments to perform clonal assays to determine the relative frequency of progenitors, it is not clear from the proposal that this will be adequately accomplished because of lack of methodological detail. For example, the preliminary data show isolation of some cell populations from human fetal flow cytometry experiments, but there are no data to show if they grow at all in culture. The timing of the flow analysis is also unclear from the presentation. The wealth of data on surface marker expression has not yet been linked to culture survival or differentiation. These would seem to be the basic data needed for this proposal to warrant support. There is significantly less enthusiasm for Aims 2 and 3 which are purely technical aims. Because of scant preliminary data and a naïve approach to the clinical issues, the work is not likely to move the field forward. Finally, the advances in tissue engineering really haven't translated into a huge repository of growing fetal liver cells, so there is a feasibility issue running throughout the proposal that requires some preliminary data. With respect to the overall research plan, there were general concerns cited by reviewers. First, one significant weakness throughout is that "efficiency of transplantation" is going to be examined by liver function tests, but these tests are never outlined. Second, in the abstract and Aims, a number of markers are discussed that will be used for sorting and analyzing different potential hepatic stem cell populations, then in the research design section, more markers are brought in, but the plan is unclear. Will the PI use various combinations of high, low, and no expression to define the optimal stem cell populations (with all the markers proposed) – a calculation of the numbers of different cell types to be analyzed would help with the feasibility of these studies. A table with the planned populations would make it easier to discuss feasibility issues in this work. Finally, a lot of literature suggests that bone marrow derived stem cells can cure animal models of inherited metabolic disease affecting the liver, but at the cost of cell fusion to hepatocytes, not really true regeneration of hepatocytes from marrow. There should be some acknowledgement of the issues inherent in these reports. Specific concerns within the Aim1 were further described. The PI will test the capacity of the different cell populations, including putative hepatic stem cells to grow and develop into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes based on their markers, using a variety of not completely specified culture methods to assess the growth and differentiation potential. It is quite clear that the basic culture requirements have not yet been worked out. Many options are hinted at—feeder layers, growth factors, seeding density. These experiments take a long time to optimize in one stem cell population let alone in the number of stem cell populations discussed in the grant. In addition, the PI proposes to perform in vitro clonal assays to determine the frequency of stem cell progenitors within the FACS sorted populations, and to definitively establish multilineage potential of putative hepatic stem cells. Functional assays, which are key to the success of such prospective isolation strategies, are also proposed, based on in vitro culture. Sufficient alternative approaches are discussed to back up these experiments; however, a better functional analysis of the differeniated cells produced (more refined than just AFP and CK19 staining) would have strengthened the proposal. Stability of the phenotype in culture may also be problematic but the PI does not propose a solution, and the ability to expand cells under certain culture conditions has also not been shown to date. The PI acknowledges that the cells may be hard to grow. However he does not outline a systematic plan of attack for making them grow. Since the animal work calls for 106 cells per pup (10 pups), the expansion of the stem cells without a change in their phenotype is a limiting factor for the rest of the proposed work. An in vivo clonogenic assay is what is really needed. Finally, although the PI is correct in saying that little is known about the difference between fetal and adult hepatic stem cells, there is quite some information about hepatic stem cells in the literature, and the PI is certainly aware of some of the groups who feel that they have defined at least one hepatic stem cell population --because their papers are cited in the proposal. Does that PI feel that these stem cells (from Fausto group and others) are not adequate for his purposes? If so, there should be some discussion convincing the reviewers that the effort needed to precisely identify a new stem cell population (and the effort in optimization is a big one) is justified. Specific concerns with Aim 2 are discussed below. Aim 2, to develop strategies of in utero therapy, is primarily a technical aim that is not hypothesis-driven. The investigator appears to be largely familiar with these models from his previous work in the Fetal Treatment Center research laboratory under the direction Dr. Harrison at UCSF. In this first strategy, an allogeneic murine model system will be used to compare the efficacy of transplanting fetal vs. adult liver cells. To assess engraftment and chimerism, flow cytometric analyses using HLA markers will determine the percentage of donor cells. These experiments will use bulk fetal liver populations, rather than the sorted populations, and will analyze engraftment only in the short term. This is a limitation of this strategy, since long-term engraftment potential will not be assessed. The comparison of fetal vs. adult hepatic populations is of interest; however it is not clear how donor cells will be distiguished from host cells in mouse-to-mouse transplants. Also, since sorted populations will not be used, the PI cannot distinguish between changes in precursor frequency and changes in precursor activity/survival after transplant. Fetal hepatic stem cells transplants (via IUT) in immunodeficient SCID mice wil be assessed. Methods to detect human cells in a mouse system are readily available and again will be based on HLA-specific antibodies and flow cytometry. The xenotransplant studies will help to define the functional properties of the sorted human cell populations defined in Aim 1, although if in vivo function does not correlate with the marker expression used for cell identification, then these studies may require a separate prospective isolation strategy. Durability of engraftment will be assessed out to 6 months. One reviewer felt that the allogeneic model makes more sense to pursue for its clinical importance (translational relevance) than the xenogeneic model. The allogeneic model could capitalize on prior transplant research in rodent models, which is not taken into account in the proposal. The idea of isolating human fetal hepatic stem cells is appealing, but the case for proceeding with xenogeneic transplants is not supported by the proposal. The second strategy to be tested is IUT of hematopoietic cells to induce immunological tolerance, followed by a postnatal liver cell transplantation. Advice from Dr. Farmer of Fetal Treatment Center at UCSF will be sought in these fetal transplantation experiments. The same allogeneic murine IUT model will be used, however, it is not clear if the animals will receive preconditioning. After IUT hematopoietic engraftment (donor cell types not specified, but may be unfractionated bone marrow) animals will be tested for chimerism at one month of age by flow cytometry. They will test transplantation of liver cells from donor strain and third party mice. It is not clear from these experiments how the proposed methods will advance the field or improve upon what has already been achieved and previously published. There were further concerns with the endpoints and analysis of the data to be obtained in Aim 2. The main endpoints of analysis are engraftment and hepatic function. Will non-hepatic organs be examined for these cells? It is certainly reasonable to assume that they will be all over the place with the intravessel injections. And since the host animals have normal liver function to start with, how will any improvement in liver function be assayed in the normal hosts? When statistical tests are cited, they are cited in isolation of the tests. Will all the end-points of analysis be suited to Student's t-testing (page 5)? This seems unlikely since there are non-parametric data sets being generated. Lower down on page 5, are all the assays that precede the listing of the Mann-Whitney testing appropriate for this kind of analysis? Specific concerns within Aim 3 are discussed below. In Aim 3, the PI intends to develop clinically applicable methods for the procurement and banking of fetal liver cells. The PI will collaborate with Drs. Read and Reed at BSRI to develop clinically applicable methods for the procurement, processing and banking of human fetal hepatic precursors. They have made an observation that a single purification step is required to greatly reduce the incidence of microbial contamination which has clinical relevance. They plan to test a number of methods of generating cell suspensions and a variety of enzyme preparations. Although they currently use Liberase, they do not seem to be aware of the recent BSE issue with Liberase enzyme. It is clear from the discussion on page 8 that the most appropriate enzyme to use for isolation is not yet clear. In general, this aim is also a technical exercise and includes testing for various methods for cryopreservation and thawing to determine the best way to store fetal liver specimens in order to establish a tissue bank, yet many techniques exist that could be readily applied to culturing and cryopreserving hepatic stem cells. One reviewer notes that each stem cell population requires special handling including freezing and thawing procedures, that are often ignored in favor of generic protocols for handling cells in the lab. However, the variables that are important in this process of optimization of long-term storage are not addressed by the PI. Furthermore, the utility of this bank has not yet been determined and depends in part on success in the first 2 aims, which would demonstrate a clinical need for fetal liver cell banking. In the absence of such data, this aim seems premature. QUALIFICATIONS AND POTENTIAL OF THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Dr. Muench received his PhD in Cell Biology and Genetics from Cornell in 1992, and worked as a postdoc in human immunology at DNAX from 1992-1995. He worked as a researcher at the Fetal Treatment Center Research Lab at UCSF from 1995-2000, and then as an Assistant Adjunct Professor from 2001-2006. Subsequently, the PI was recruited to Blood Systems Research Institute in San Francisco in 2006. It has been 15 years since completing his PhD. The PI has spent most of his career as a research scientist in the area of hematopoietic biology, and it is clear in just reading through the publications listed that he became interested also in liver stem cells a few years ago, and he started to publish in the area of liver development 3-4 years ago. He has been reasonably productive as a research scientist, and appears qualified to extend his knowledge of hematopoietic development into a new stem cell system. He lists several first and last author papers in recent years that are relevant to the in utero transplantation system he proposes to study. He began the position at BSRI in 2006, and currently has one short non peer-reviewed publication related to hepatocyte transplantation and only one published paper since 2004. Dr. Muench has extramural funding from the National Blood Foundation and the NIH to study in utero transplantation and ontogenic in erythroid gene expression. He has no extramural funding for hepatocyte transplantation. He has trained in several laboratories focused on bone marrow and fetal liver hematopoiesis. The PI's expertise and experience with working with human fetal liver cells is an advantage, and he shown extensive preliminary data cataloging gene expression in sorted hepatic subsets. Dr. Muench's effort will be 100% devoted to research and he has received a strong financial commitment from the BSRI with an initial three year startup package. Dr. Muench's career development receives a high degree of oversight, and his career development plan is primarily based on the BSRI metrics by which his advisory panel will monitor his progress and development as an independent, researcher. His performance is also evaluated once every 2 years by an external advisory committee, through written documentation and site visit. He has set several goals for himself, including publication of at least 1 high impact paper per year. He describes funding milestones as well, related to recruitment of extramural funds. Despite the emphasis on evaluation, this descriptive plan does not speak to obtaining additional experience in related fields of his active research. Dr. Muench will be an adjunct professor at UCSF and will have contacts with several laboratories as well as the UCSF Liver Center and Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research Center. INSTITUTIONAL COMMITMENT TO PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Dr. Muench has received ample laboratory space and start up funds to begin his research. The institute has taken a mentorship role in helping him to define goals and achieve milestones. In addition, they have invested in significant new equipment to support his research. He also maintains contacts with investigators at UCSF that strengthen his research program. A clear commitment from UCSF is not indicated but there appears to be some commitment from the BSRI. An adequate track record for establishing and advancing the careers of independent investigators at the BSRI is not evident. The Blood Systems Research Institute is a division of Blood Systems, Inc., and is affiliated with UCSF, with access to their core facilities, library and adminitrative oversight staff. The Institute has an overall interest in cell therapy, and interacts with UCSF GMP facilities. The Blood Systems Research Institute (by the c.v.'s enclosed) has a record of hiring scientists who develop their own programs of research within the Institute, but the company became independent only in 2004, so there is not much of a long-term history to evaluate. Blood Systems Research Institute does not yet have an animal facility and there is no approved protocol for the survival surgical procedures, which could delay the research. This work would also require IRB approval for collection of stem cells from aborted human fetuses, and no approval is enclosed with the grant. The PI proposes to devote 50% of his time to the work, which likely means he also plans to contribute in a hands on way. His employers acknowledge this percentage commitment and appear supportive. The experiments will mostly be executed by a technician and post-doc (do they have other duties at Blood Systems)? The PI has surrounded himself with a lot of senior level consultants who can give intellectual advice but will certainly not be conducting experiments. DISCUSSION: Discussion centered on some major difficulties with the research plan. Although developing a novel progenitor line would be beneficial, it is not clear what markers would be used and there is no plan for distinguishing host and donor. Banking studies are premature, since it is unclear that the cells are useful. Since there is no defect in the donor liver, it will be difficult to assess liver function. There is no clinical context to the proposal and no plan to look at what diseases damage the liver. In consideration of these major concerns, the reviewers could not entusiastically support the proposal.

If you've been mourning your morning fix of Twinkies, Ho-Hos and Hostess Cupcakes, there was good news on two fronts this week.
First, the Hostess company, based in Irving, TX, is looking for a buyer for its dessert recipes. It already sold its bread line, including Wonder Bread, for $399 million to Thomasville, Ga.'s Flower Foods.
Second, Safeway has been stocking its shelves with products that look and taste very similar to the original Hostess cakes. Its "Snack Artist" line features mostly healthier foods, such as chips made from vegetables.
But a look down the aisles shows boxes of Crème Cakes (with a fancy French accent, mais oui!), Swiss Rolls, continuing with the European motif and the plainly-named Chocolate Cupcake.
(Safeway in South San Francisco is located at 30 Chestnut Ave. and 170 El Camino Real.)
Calorie and sugar-wise, you are in for a blast. Each of the fake Twinkies has 15 grams of sugar, 190 milligrams of sodium, 140 calories and 45 calories from fat and 5 milligrams of wonderful cholesterol. Wonderful, that is, for heart surgeons.
The cupcakes up the ante to 200 calories each, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 310 milligrams of sodium, 60 calories from fat and 26 grams of sugar, with sugar on top.
Safeway announced its snack artist brand in 2010. Some stores sported signs announcing the dessert brands when Hostess quit selling its products in November.
Some collectors have been selling the Hostess goods, once rumored to be able to survive nuclear warfare, on eBay for $15 for a pack of three cupcakes, or $127 to $12,000 for two boxes of Twinkies. Nope, that's not a typo.
So how do the Safeway brands stand up to the taste challenge? Would they fool a fool for Twinkies?
You tell us.
For this junk food junkie, I'd say they are close, but not exact. They whet the palate with a delicate aura of the Twinkie, they have the stickiness in the texture just about right, but they lack a little firmness, a little of the hidden ingredient that makes the Twinkie twinkle.
Sort of like comparing Oreos to the sugar-free Oreos or Hydrox cookies. A whisp of memory and they are true in their presentation, but if the Twinkie is an A, the Creme Cakes are a B, almost a B+ for good effort.
If you are a diabetic, longing for the purity of the Hostess products, these ones are almost worth going into the coma for.
Is that why I'm writing this at 12:05 a.m. Hey, who took those bites out of the product?

Credits Obama administration for regulatory reform
Credits Obama administration for regulatory reform
Steve Bergsman
Inman News®
Early in 2007, I had traveled to Tucson, Ariz., to interview the CEO of a high-flying mortgage company, First Magnus Financial Corp., which had completed more than $30 billion worth of originations in 2006.
"We expect to do $36 billion in 2007," the CEO boasted to me.
By the time my story went to press, the company was out of business. It blew up quite suddenly during the subprime mortgage crisis that hit the country that summer. Many independent mortgage companies followed First Magnus down.
One that didn't was Mortgage Master Inc. of Walpole, Mass., which not only survived but has expanded its regional presence to the District of Columbia and 22 states in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic part of the country. This year, the company expects to do about $7 billion in loan volume.
I thought I would check in with Paul Anastos, president of Mortgage Master, to talk about survival and what he calls "the best home market in the last 10 years."
First a little background: The company was founded in 1988 by Leif Thomsen, in the basement of his Walpole home. In 2011, total loan production reached $5.3 billion making it one of the largest, nonbank lenders in the country.
Statistics of interest: Mortgage Master's average loan amount is $320,000 with an average loan-to-value of 65 percent. The average loan officer at Mortgage Master closed more than $2 million per month in 2011 and 15 percent of its loan officers closed more than $50 million in volume.
In 2003, Anastos, a mergers and acquisitions specialist at accounting firm Ernst & Young, joined the company. Since then, Mortgage Master grew from two offices to 40 and from 145 employees to about 600.
My first question, of course, was how did Mortgage Master survive the Great Recession?
"During the boom years, lenders were doing a lot of exotic mortgage products," Anastos said. "And a lot of these products didn't make sense to us. We didn't get into these funky things -- we just didn't believe in them. At the time people thought we were crazy, but sound lending principles made good sense for the company and the consumer. We ended up thriving when a lot of companies around us were failing. We survived because we stayed conservative and disciplined."
I push back. "So, there were no subprime loans in your quiver of arrows?"
As it turned out, there wasn't.
"We really have never done subprime," Anastos said matter-of-factly. "Less than 1 percent of our volume was ever subprime. I was uncomfortable when the industry was extending loans and offering exotic products. The negative amortization programs were so dangerous to the consumer, and few consumers understood them. We were fortunate enough that we didn't do those."
One result is that Mortgage Master has never had to buy back a loan it originated, which is almost unheard of for an originator doing its kind of volume.
"Very few of our borrowers are in default or late on payments," Anastos said. "The number of foreclosures we do on our loans is minute."
I decided to change the subject. "I've heard you say that this is the best home purchase market in the past 10 years. Why?" Of course, I was thinking the boom years from 2001 through 2006 weren't too bad.
"What defines the best? For me, it is willing buyers and willing sellers," he said. "We had a period of time where prices were too high. Homes were selling at high value but it was much more of a good market for people who were selling. I don't think it created a good situation for buyers."

December 18, 2012 - CISAC In the News
Former fellow launches innovation project for refugees
"We believe that there are alternative, neglected ways to address the humanitarian challenges of refugee protection and assistance, which are not only more effective but can move from dependency to sustainability and from a perception of refugees as an burden to recognizing how their presence may benefit host societies and governments."
-- Alexander Betts, Director, Humanitarian Innovation Project
and former CISAC postdoctoral fellow
Alexander Betts, a former postdoctoral fellow at CISAC, recently launched the Humanitarian Innovation Project (HIP) at the University of Oxford. The private sector project aims to develop new methodology to solve problems and identify solutions for refugees and other humanitarian situations. HIP takes a new approach to humanitarianism: tapping into the skills and talents of refugees and their communities in an effort to build sustainable livelihoods.
CISAC and students at Stanford are also developing new ways to improve the lives of refugees, working with the UNHCR on a project to rethink camps. See an interactive social media piece about the project online at Storify.com.

After seeing how well WVU linebacker Najee Goode could do with a microphone in hand, we decided to give his fellow senior defender Keith Tandy a try as well.
Tandy and the Mountaineers had a beach party on Saturday that had many of the players standing at the water's edge sporting life vests while they waited for their turn to hop aboard a jet ski and experience something completely new to them.
With his reporter hat on, Tandy introduces himself to the fans back at home before essentially grabbing whoever he can find along the beach and doing a brief interview with each. The discussions range from biting sharks to migrating whales and the state of Kentucky.
Come along with the Mountaineer senior cornerback as he guides you through a day on the beach with the WVU football team and tell us -- Do you think he's got a future in broadcast when his playing days come to an end? And who's more of a natural, Goode or Tandy?

The performance is really low..any suggestion?
How you feel that performance is poor.
See this two links:
Best regards,
I developed a plane shooting game with only using hitTestObject method for collision detection, but the FPS only got 5 around while I can get maximum FPS to 30 on my PC.
Are there some optimization tips for Flash Lite 4? I only found tips for Flash Lite 3 or older.
Hi, yeggo
See here for the collision Detection : http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph..._in_Flash_Lite
The Flash related documents are available here : http://www.forum.nokia.com/Develop/W...on/Flash.xhtml
Best regards,
Thank you for your sharing.
I also found it very low, testing quickbox2d with just two boxes got around 3 PFS
is there anyway of having physics in Flash Lite 4 ?
sorry for incomplete info... teste on a Nokia E7... fruit ninja runs amazing, a simple SWF using quickbox2d with 2 boxes almost froze the machine
Hi Guyz,
Well! The simple reason which i can tell in one go is that the Fruit Ninja uses GPU of N8 via OpenGL ES which is also known as hardware acceleration but Flash Lite 4 doesn't provide any hardware acceleration in Symbian^3 and thus Box2D works slow at Flash Lite 4. One more thing which i observed in FL 4 (and previous versions) is that if you want to play a sound each time u hit an object or a background music then FPS go down. My best advice in this case is that constantly test your content in phone and do optimization by looking at the results.
Best Regards,
The N8 3D hardware graphics acceleration (via OpenGL ES) is probably not that useful for 2D vector graphics like what Flash does. There would have to be 2D hardware acceleration (OpenVG) + a Flash implementation that knows how to use it.
Yes! a good point raised by Sir Petrib. Thanks for the info.
Best Regards,
So in conclusion we still can't make Flash games for the N8 right now. except for boring games I guess old C++ and Java are still the way to go for gaming in Symbian^3. It's a pity since Flash is so much evolved right now (think Molehill for example - uses GPU) and the developer community is so huge. thank you
for those who don't know, with Flash Molehill API one can easily make a game like Fruit Ninja, 3D hardware acceleration and all that. Need for Speed? No problem
imagine the whole Flash community making such glorious games for Symbian^3..... The development time is much quicker than C++
Molehill APIs are great but currently, they are not available for any smartphone out there and there plan is :
Source: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/f...ehill.html#faqWill 3D be supported in mobile versions of Flash Player too? When?
Yes, we expect the 3D APIs to be available on mobile platforms, such as Android and Linux Mobile. We expect to work with partners through the Open Screen Project to enable 3D in Flash Player and AIR on devices.
So, it would be great if we have hardware acceleration out there for Flash Lite 4 on Symbian^3 devices prior to the molehill 3D APIs.
Best Regards,

What Will the U.S. Economy Look Like During the Next Bull Market?
Posted November 2, 2009
16 Comments
You said in your last Foxhall Global Outlook that this economic recovery would be different than previous bull markets. Why is that and which investments will do well and which investments should we avoid? As I have said before, this is going to be a unique and uneven recovery. Last week we saw days when the stock market went up in triple digits and then the next day dropped in triple digits. This is not uncommon during the transition from a recession to a new long-term bull market.

What Will The Market Do From Now Until The End Of The Year?
Posted October 3, 2007
0 Comments
You were right about the stock market going through a typical summer pull-back, since it has now bounced back to its recent record highs in July. What will the stock market do from now until the end of the year? PATIENCE IS ALWAYS A VIRTUE One of the behavioral characteristics of professional investors is an ability to resist getting caught-up in the emotions of the stock market as it reacts to the most current daily drama being spotlighted in the news! Professionals keep their concentration focused like a laser on those specific indicators that actually drive the fundamentals of the stock market over time.

Will Gas And Oil Prices Keep Rising?
Posted December 31, 2007
0 Comments
My clients keep asking me if oil and gasoline prices are going to continue to rise. Will they ever go back down? In the long run, oil and gas prices will continue to go up and Americans must prepare themselves to spend a higher percentage of their household budgets in the future on gasoline, heating oil and food (more about food in another issue of this newsletter). Oil and gas prices are being driven by two LONG-TERM INVESTING TRENDS.

Anything Is Possible
Posted November 16, 2009

A number of commentators on television keep saying the economy may go up for a while but then could slip into a new recession early next year. Do you think that is possible? Anything is possible, but it would be historically contrary to almost every recovery since 1950.

When Will The Recession End?
Posted April 30, 2009
0 Comments
The stock market has rallied over the past 5 weeks. Is this the beginning of the new bull market or is this a bear market rally that will be followed by new stock market lows? When do you think this bear market recession will end? Economists often say that the stock market always starts to go up before the real economy recovers and often goes up before a recession ends. That is only partially true.

2008 Was Not A Great Year. Few tears will be shed at 2008s passingat least from an investment perspective. 2008 began with a business slowdown and is ending with the world caught in the grip of the most severe economic recession since the Great Depression. All this is happening in the context of a world in the throes of extraordinary change, and a planet that is morphing into one economy.

The Start Of A New Bull Market Can Be Choppy
Posted September 8, 2009

Almost all economists now agree that the recession is probably over and the consensus is that the U.S. Economy will grow at least 2% in the second half of this year. Home sales have started to inch up from a very low base, even though foreclosures continue to increase each month and home prices nationwide have a bit further to fall.

How Does Foxhall Consider Investments?
Posted April 22, 2008
0 Comments
One of the ways we consider investments at FOXHALL CAPITAL is by trying to find and invest in long-term trends in the global marketplace. I often call these long-term trends, GLOBAL SUPERCYCLES. Recently, at the WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM in Davos, Switzerland, Herb Meyer gave an important lecture to a very select group of invited global CEOs of major international corporations on some of the KEY GLOBAL TRENDS, unfortunately not often covered in the mainstream media.

Why Is Global Investing Important?
Posted May 5, 2008
0 Comments
One of my clients asked me why global investing was important. Are there any studies that definitively explain the importance of global diversification in a clients investment portfolio? YESGLOBAL DIVERSIFICATION IS A MUST! After your grandmother told you as a child to always buy low and sell high, she also probably reminded you not to put all of your eggs in one basketat least thats what my grandmother used to tell me! That is the underlying timeless wisdom of global diversification.

Business Week Article Supports Foxhall's Strategy
Posted July 2, 2007
0 Comments
BUSINESS WEEK ARTICLE REINFORCES FOXHALLS GLOBAL STRATEGY This week BUSINESS WEEK(1) published an article about the well known Princeton University professor and economist, Burton Malkiel. The article reinforces the underlying foundation of FOXHALL CAPITALs global investing strategy. Burton Malkiel is most famous for his classic finance book, A RANDOM WALK DOWN WALL STREET. In the past, he has been a leading proponent of the EFFICIENT MARKET HYPOTHESIS, which contends that prices of publicly traded assets reflect all publicly available information. FROM WALL STREET TO THE GREAT WALL But now in his new book, FROM WALL STREET TO THE GREAT WALL: HOW INVESTORS CAN PROFIT FROM CHINAS BOOMING ECONOMY. (W.W. Norton, December 2007) he now sees Asia and specifically China as the greatest investment opportunity in the world today. He says investors are getting a bargain for the most undervalued currency in the world.

The Economy Is Doing Well
Posted June 12, 2007
0 Comments
Although it has taken over seven years, the S&P 500 INDEX recently broke through and surpassed its high from the year 2000. However, U.S. stocks took a beating this past week, because-well,-THE ECONOMY IS DOING TOO WELL. Why would there be a sell-off in the stock market if the economy is doing well? I know that doesnt make any sense to most investors, but this is the reasoning. Most economists and Wall Street insiders thought that slowing corporate earnings, the sub-prime mortgage debt crisis, and slowing real estate and new housing markets would force the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. And lower interest rates are usually good for the stock market.

What Is Happening To The Housing Market?
Posted April 10, 2008

Several weeks ago, another FEDERAL RESERVE report stated that the most serious lending abuses in ADJUSTABLE RATES MORTGAGES (ARMs) took place within the last 18 months. Most of those ARMs have not yet triggered their higher rates. The report stated that the worst of the housing foreclosures was still to come and that most of these foreclosures would reach a peak in the second half of 2009 and the first half of 2010.

We are now living through the most serious economic crisis since the Great Depression. Warren Buffett has called this crisis the economic equivalent to Pearl Harbor. The economy clearly affected the presidential race. But how will the election results affect the stock market? It is true that past performance is no indication of future performance, but its hard to resist looking back at how the markets have responded to presidential politics.

Commodities and the Stock Market Have Been Declining for 10 Days. Is This a New Bear Market or Just a Correction?
Posted May 18, 2011
109 Comments
One of the main reasons for the steep correction is that commodity exchanges around the world raised margin requirements four times in 10 days to discourage speculators investing with borrowed money on margin. This forced many leveraged investors out of the market.

Should The Big Drop In The Dow Be Of Concern?
Posted November 4, 2007
0 Comments
Last Thursday the DOW JONES INDEX dropped more than 362 points or 2.6%, its fourth-worst trading day of the year. Should this be a cause of concern? No, this drop was largely the reaction of big institutional investors to the financial services sector, which makes up a large percentage of the DOW. As the WALL STREET JOURNAL said, they were punishing big banks and brokerage firms like Citigroup, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney and Bear Stearns. These big banks and brokerage firms have been widely criticized in the press for lending billions of dollars to hedge funds on margin who were relending money to mortgage companies who were pushing loans to some people who had no jobs, no credit and no prospect of every paying them back.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Established in 1856, Burberry is one of the oldest fashion labels in existence, one with a history of innovation. Thomas Burberry, the founder, invented gabardine in 1880, offering England a comfortable yet waterproof fabric for riding, shooting, and other soggy country pursuits. The company became famous for outfitting explorers, including Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole in 1911. In 1914 Burberry invented the trenchcoat when it was asked to adapt a design for practical wear by World War I officers in the trenches. But while Burberry's stock only rose and rose in the twentieth century, as its hardworking wares crossed over and became fashionable—with style icons from Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca to Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's making the trench look unforgettably chic—it wasn't until the late 1990's that the house became known for much beyond mackintoshes and that famous beige check.
Rose Marie Bravo came on board as chief executive in 1997, leading the company as it began to mine its potential as a luxury brand. The Burberry Prorsum ready-to-wear collection was launched by Roberto Menichetti after he was hired in 1998 as creative director. An ad campaign shot by Mario Testino and starring Kate Moss and Stella Tennant followed, recasting Burberry's conservative, rather fusty image as youthful and sexy while still emphasizing its quintessential Britishness. In 2001 the house appointed Christopher Bailey, formerly a Gucci womenswear designer under Tom Ford, as creative director. The introduction of fragrance, menswear, and accessories has boosted the company's bottom line. And Bailey's designs have managed to balance Burberry's venerable heritage with a hip and contemporary aesthetic. When you think of Burberry today you still think of the trench—but redone, for instance, in python.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) - Rutgers officials say a record-setting crowd has turned out to get an up-close look at the university and its many offerings.
An estimated at 83,000 people came out Saturday for the annual "Rutgers Day" festival, an annual outdoor event highlighted by the Scarlet-White intrasquad spring football game.
But there also were hundreds of events and programs sponsored by schools, departments, institutes, centers and student organizations on the university's campuses in New Brunswick and Piscataway.
Each campus focused on specific topics to showcase student talents and program offerings.
Among the featured events was the New Jersey Folk Festival. This year, that event featured the music and culture of Garifuna, a Central American community that has survived wars, exile and deprivation.

I am requesting signatures to this petition to keep Edward Earl Williams incarcerated for life for murdering my cousin Perry Lynn White in April 1968. Perry Lynn was 6 years old and full of life. Edward Earl Williams stabbed Perry Lynn 12 times in the chest, hit him on the head and cut his throat. Perry Lynn was found pushed up under a brick veneer house through a small square opening while still under construction after an all night search. This animal was sentenced to life in prison but has been granted parole and will be released if we don't do something. He will also be residing in Johnston County. He has an 8th grade education with nothing to offer to our society and has never showed any remorse to my family for the crime he has committed. I am asking for everyones help in this matter...please show your support by helping me keep Edward Earl Williams in jail for life. Thank you Jill Schaut

However, after about 1 year of average desert trail riding and dunes, the bike started puffing white smoke and coolant kept mysteriously disappearing. Pulled the top end apart and discovered the head gasket failed, allowing coolant to flow directly from the water jacket into the cylinder. Just to save myself future headache, I will spend the extra cash on a different brand.

Comments On Apr 10, 2014:I am a huge fan of tusk parts but this was an epic fail. After about 15 hrs of ride time the head gasket failed and I got water in the engine. When I took it apart I found that the head gasket has a coating on it which had separated from the metal deteriated over time and failed under pressure from the cylinder. Buy oem or a higher grade gasket especially for the head. the honda oem gasket is excellent.

Comments On Mar 27, 2014:I bought these gaskets for my 400ex and also my 85 atc 250r, I torqued them both to spec and both bikes blew head gaskets in less than 4 hours! not impressed.

Comments On Apr 27, 2014:I have not had any problems with TUSK products and I have bought a lot of TUSK parts . Gaskets are all good except, both head gaskets leaked. I had heads cked by machine shop for warpage and i cked them. No need to be decked. Both head gaskets failed within hours. This won't be my last TUSK purchase but my last Tusk gasket set with head gaskets.

Comments On Apr 28, 2014:I put this top end gasket kit in when i rebuilt my top end. I torqued my head to OEM specifications and when i filled it with antifreeze the gasket was wet. I figured that maybe it was maybe because i got assembly lube on it. i was wrong. the head gasket didn't seal. I wouldn't recommend this to my worse enemy. Spend the extra 25 bucks and buy a better gasket kit. You'll thank me when you don't have to tear your bike back apart
