Domestic Casting Co. LLC has been cited by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration for 26 reported safety violations found at its Shippensburg foundry.
The company faces $163,240 in proposed penalties for seven repeat, 16 serious, and three other-than-serious safety violations. OSHA initiated an inspection in August 2012 in response to a complaint.
Carrying a $90,860 penalty, the repeat violations included open-sided floors and platforms that were not guarded with standard railings and other safety features; permanent, durable identification was not affixed to alloy steel slings; pulleys were not properly guarded; sprocket wheels and chains were not enclosed; electrical hazards; and pull and junction boxes and fittings were not provided with approved covers.
The company was cited for similar violations in 2011 and 2013.
The serious violations, with a $72,380 penalty, include:
A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
The other-than-serious violations, with no penalty, were due to stair rails without an immediate rail and damaged equipment parts.
Domestic Casting Co. has 15 business days to comply, request an informal conference with the OSHA area director in Harrisburg, or contest the citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

Pacific North American Regional Integration and Control
Yes, everyone get ready for the big 'green jobs' boom propaganda. Problem with that idea is, money isn't a zero-sum game. You print it and give it to Samsung, or sink it in a public rail line, you may employ some people short-term but this will be at the expense of the people standing on the taxation rug you just pulled out from under them. For more, see the broken window fallacy. Now, combine this with the fact of US states and regional initiatives signing these independent contracts with Canadian provinces on any number of things – environmental projects, carbon taxes, continental IDs, running massive highways through, etc. – and you're looking at a situation where Canadian sovereignty is being leached away with zero input from you.

Dana Gabriel, BeYourOwnLeader.com
March 12, 2010
U.S.-Canadian state and provincial integration is being achieved in areas of transportation, the economy, energy and the environment. With some national, trilateral and global initiatives being discredited, stalled or ineffective, it appears as if the strategy has further shifted to a regional and local level in an effort to lay the groundwork for new agreements.
In 2008, the Pacific Coast Collaborative was established between Alaska, British Columbia, California, Oregon and Washington as, "a formal basis for cooperative action, a forum for leadership and information sharing, and a common voice on issues facing Pacific North America." Some of its key priorities include action on clean energy, regional transportation, emergency management, sustainable regional economy, ocean conservation and climate change, as well as other issues. The inaugural Leaders' Forum of the Pacific Coast Collaborative was held in Vancouver, British Colombia on February 12, 2010. It was hosted by Premier Gordon Campbell and chaired by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The meeting was also attended by Washington Governor Christine Gregoire and Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown. Although Alaska is also a member of the group, they were not able to send a representative to the meeting. It was announced that Oregon will be hosting the next forum to be held later this year.
The Pacific Coast Leaders signed two action plans. The first being- Innovation, the Environment and the Economy which, "sets out a series of co-operative initiatives to promote renewable and low-carbon energy and energy conservation, including developing Interstate 5/Highway 99 as a green transportation corridor. It also promotes development of high-speed rail from San Diego to Vancouver and the move to 'Green Ports' through co-operation to reduce local air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions." The second action plan on Ocean Conservation and Coastal Climate Change Adaptation, "focuses on co-operation on invasive species, reductions in toxins and other pollutants, promoting sustainable fisheries management and research into impacts from climate change and adaptation options." The leaders also released a document entitled Vision 2030: Positioning Pacific North America for Sustainable Prosperity which sets out a strategic outlook for regional collaboration.
One of the Pacific Coast Collaborative top priorities includes a high speed rail system. On its website it states, "For the Pacific Coastal region to remain competitive, we need transportation systems that will facilitate the movement of people and goods north to south while reducing the number of vehicles on our highways. Rail, particularly high speed rail, can deliver significant benefits to the region including advancing climate change goals, energy conservation, congestion reduction, and job creation for the citizens of the region." Cassandra Anderson's article Agenda 21 Alert: Obama Railroads Us With the Bullet Train details how in many ways a high speed rail system in the U.S. would be impractical and costly, with the majority of the trains running off of diesel fuel. President Obama has promised that such an undertaking would create many jobs, but it has been reported that much of the needed equipment and supplies would have to be outsourced. The article also lays out how future transportation systems could restrict auto and personal mobility in an effort to further control the population.
At the recent meeting, Pacific Coast Leaders urged further local action in combating environmental issues. Governor Schwarzenegger acknowledged that, "We're united, there's no two ways about it. Politically, ecologically, we speak with one voice." He also added that, "We saw at Copenhagen that national governments and the national community has not yet been able to come to an agreement to reducing green house gas emissions. The UN and the national governments have realized that the sub-national governments are really the ones in the end who can put the pressure on and engage the kind of action that is needed." In her article Agenda 21 Alert: Schwarzenegger's 'True Lies' in Copenhagen Cassandra Anderson stated that, "The globalists' battle for complete control over all populations is from 'global to local.' This is why Arnold was brought to speak at the Copenhagen Summit. He truthfully revealed the power that state and local governments have in accomplishing carbon reduction goals." Anderson went on to say that, "States can enact their own carbon emission reduction laws and Cap and Trade schemes- it is not necessary for international treaties and federal regulations to be passed."
The Western Climate Initiative (WCI) was launched in 2007 and includes some U.S. states and Canadian provinces as member partners and observers. Their website states that, "The WCI is a collaboration of independent jurisdictions working together to identify, evaluate, and implement policies to tackle climate change at a regional level." In September of 2008 the WCI unveiled the centerpiece of their strategy, a regional cap-and-trade program to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. "The first phase of the cap-and-trade program begins on January 1, 2012, covering emissions from electricity, including imported electricity, industrial combustion at large sources, and industrial process emissions for which adequate measurement methods exist. The second phase begins in 2015, when the program expands to include transportation fuels and residential, commercial and industrial fuels not otherwise covered." With an eye on the future, the WCI also admitted that their, "cap-and-trade program is designed in such a way that it can provide a model for, be integrated into, or work in conjunction with any future U.S. or Canadian emissions-reduction programs."
President Obama has been forced to delay his push for a national cap-and-trade plan as legislation has been stalled in the U.S. Senate. Many critics of the program argue that it could lead to millions of jobs being lost and the push for a green economy might further hamper economic recovery. A North American climate change strategy is moving forward which includes more emphasis being placed at a regional and local level. The threat of man-made global warming has been discredited in the eyes of many, yet the environmental agenda continues. Protecting our planet has turned increasingly more political and profitable. Under the guise of safeguarding the environment, many solutions being offered are in the form of more taxes and more control over our lives.

UFC Middleweight Chris Weidman faces the formidable Tim Boetsch at UFC 155 on December 29 in Las Vegas, Nevada but it's fair to say he's had a bigger opponent on his mind this week. Weidman's Long Island, New York home and neighborhood were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy last week.
In this video exclusive he talks to MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani about the devastation, the storm and the aftermath two days after Sandy destroyed his home and ravaged his neighborhood. Hundreds of thousands of Americans remain without power in the greater New York region following the storm, one of the worst natural disasters in American history.
Lower Manhattan flooded including the famous New York subways, many of which remain under water.

Andy Martino is a sports writer for a major NY area publication . And he -- and others -- thinks today's awesome, all home-grown Mets lineup is a testament to the legacy of Omar Minaya. See?
Been said by others, but Mets lineup today shows danger of oversimplification -- Omar Minaya didn't in fact leave farm system barren.— Andy Martino (@SurfingTheMets) April 26, 2012
I don'ti ntent to single him out. He's not alone; I'm sure a lot of other beat writers etc. think the same. (Someone else will have to tell me if Adam Rubin's in their camp.) And it's a nice idea. I love the fact that today's lineup is all homegrown, and I wish it were a testament to Omar Minaya's reign.
Really, do. But ... it's not. Because of one simple truth:
Today's lineup sucks.
Here's the thing about building baseball teams -- it's nice to have "homegrown" teams because it builds a sense of pride in the organization, and because in general, guys who come up through your minor league system are cheaper. Players with less than three years of MLB experience are effectively free, getting paid the minimum or so. Years 4, 5, and 6, they cost a fraction of what they'd get as free agents, a savings on average of about 40% per year. I think most of the reaction, though, is the first part -- pride. And I feel it too, so I don't want to discount it.
But... pride doesn't make it good.
Today's Mets lineup, Jon Niese included, costs the Mets about $20-23 million, almost all of it going to David Wright. Let's put the bench and bullpen at another $20 million, and the team -- minus the other four starting pitchers, costs about $40 million. Add in another four starters at the Dillon Gee level and we're at about $45 million, maybe even a tad less. Here's the question:
How many games will that team win in a given year?
Well, let's work backward. The Mets were roughly projected to win 75 games this year, but let's be charitable and say 79. We're replacing Pelfrey, Dickey, and Santana with three Dilion Gees, so let's knock it back down to 75, again, being charitable. We'll treat Jason Bay to Kirk Nieuwenhuis a wash (charitably, again) and Jordany Valdespin taking Andres Torres' role as another -2. That's 73 wins, which, well, sucks.
Now, the fact that it sucks isn't Omar's fault. It's no one's fault because it isn't bad. It's not good either. It's perfectly neutral. At eam of home grown guys which includes a bunch of raw callups shoved into duty due to injuries etc. isn't a good thing or bad thing -- it's just a weird little event that happens at times. And what you get is a 73 win team which costs $45 million. Nothing to really celebrate, but not really terrible -- assuming you can actually spend the remaining $40-60 million in budget space on improvements. But alas, the Mets can't really do that because of reasons we all know.
So yeah, go ahead an praise Omar for his work here; for putting together a farm system which gave us today's lineup. Just realize that you're praising him for putting together a last-place team with very little upside.

3Madonna Wore a Thong For Uncle Terry
For some unknown reason, celebrities seem to think Terry Richardson is the bee's knees. I think he's a pervert and a misogynist, among other things, but to-may-toe, tom-ah-toe, I suppose. Madonna is the most recent celebrity to step in front of his lens, this time for her Harper's Bazaar cover shoot, where she donned a pleather thong and wore that hideous ass grill that just needs to go somewhere. Preferably not in her mouth.
Can't hate on Madonna's arm game, though – like, let me get a ticket to that gun show… or something. However, I do not need to see her ass in a thong. I just don't. There aren't many people's asses I need to see in a thong. In fact, there's no one's, because thongs are gross (and apparently they're destroying vaginas everywhere!) and I'm not quite sure why they're known as being "sexy". Asses are sexy, but they don't need a piece of string up the middle to make them so.
Madonna, why? Why would you do this?

I like the "ass bra". I guess at her age – that works to her advantage. Maybe she can start and "ass bra" trend. I'd like a wide one in black latex, please. lol.
but seriously, what is that thing under her butt?
She is sooooo gross !

THERE might not have been a soccer program more happy to take the field last Monday than Jefferson.
A combination of gaps in the schedule and weather cancellations pushed the Lady Dragons' season opener back nearly a month. As it stands now, Jefferson's girls have played just three times but are off to a 2-0-1 start, beating Oglethorpe 4-2 March 10 in their long-awaited opener and then rolling through Washington-Wilkes 10-0 Friday. The team tied Winder-Barrow 2-2 Tuesday night.
"It's great," Jefferson coach Todd Parker said of finally getting back on the field. "Now we can see what we have and where we have to improve."
While the game against a struggling Washington-Wilkes program wasn't competitive, Parker pointed to the victory over Oglethorpe County as a quality win.
"We love playing with them," he said. "They're right along side us as far as skill level."
The Lady Dragons find themselves in the full swing of things now, having played Tuesday against Winder-Barrow and now facing a region matchup with Social Circle this Friday at home at 5:30 p.m. This will mark a special occasion as both the Lady Dragons and Dragons will celebrate Senior Night with a game in Jefferson Memorial Stadium. The soccer program usually plays at the recreation department.
"That in our stadium and that's our senior night, so the girls are really pumped about that," Parker said.
Stephanie Lamm and Kayla Brown are off to fast offensive starts for Jefferson, which retained most all of its key players from last year's Sweet 16 team. Lamm has five goals — three of which came in the lopsided win against overmatched Washington-Wilkes. Brown has six goals, four coming against Washington-Wilkes.
"Kayla Brown and Stephanie, they work well as strikers," Parker said. "They communicate and they pass the ball."
Meanwhile, freshman Mary Ann Kilgore — who plays center midfield — is said to be the team's "horse," stepping up and feeding the ball to the team's scorers.
"She gets it up to them," Parker said. "That's what we need."
Parker said the Lady Dragons also posses a strong defense, anchored by Kylee Clay and Isabella Hisky who play stopper and sweeper.
"They have us set," he said.
He added that Sasha Parker and Anna Adams communicate very well together at left and right wing.
Jefferson's goal this spring is to win the region title, but to do that, the Lady Dragons will have to go through Union County which is off to a 5-0-2 start. The Lady Dragons face the Lady Panthers on the road March 28. "Union is going to be a hard game for us," Parker said. "it's going to be tough. Of course, we're traveling there."
The coach also points to Rabun County, who is said to have strong midfield play.
But at the end of the regular season, the Lady Dragons want to have that no. 1 seed in hand. That's their man focus now that the season has finally gotten underway.
"That's their number one goal," Parker said. "After that, we'll just do it step-by-step."

Pope Benedict XVI appointed a new archbishop for Canada's largest English-speaking diocese. Archbishop Thomas Collins of Edmonton will succeed Aloysius Cardinal Ambrozic as the spiritual leader of Toronto's 1.6 million Catholics.
Collins served as archbishop of Edmonton for the past seven and a half years. Pope Benedict announced the appointment Dec. 16.
Ambrozic, 76, has served Toronto since 1990. He submitted his resignation to the Vatican nearly two years ago, but Pope John Paul II asked him to stay on past the 75-year retirement age for bishops.
Collins was born in Guelph, Ont., Jan. 16, 1947. He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Hamilton in 1973 and was a professor at St. Peter's Seminary, from 1978 to 1997.
He was rector of the seminary for two years before becoming coadjutor bishop of St. Paul in May 1997. Six weeks later, he became bishop of the diocese, replacing retiring Bishop Raymond Roy. In February 1999, he was appointed coadjutor archbishop of Edmonton and became archbishop by June, replacing the retiring Archbishop Joseph MacNeil.
During his term in Edmonton, he strongly promoted vocations to the priestly and consecrated life and saw the number of ordinations and seminarians climb significantly.
Collins launched numerous pastoral programs, including a training program for permanent deacons, perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, a downtown chapel in a shopping centre, an annual Corpus Christi procession, and a monthly Lectio Divina at St. Joseph's Basilica. Hundreds of people come to reflect on Scripture with the archbishop.
He led a restructuring of the archdiocesan administration, contributed numerous articles to the diocesan newspaper and brought in several priests from overseas to serve local parishes.
Collins will be installed as archbishop of Toronto at the end of January but an exact date has not yet been selected.
Toronto has 223 parishes, 833 priests, 111 permanent deacons, 715 religious brothers and sisters, and three auxiliary bishops.

It is recommended that you begin with a Private Introductory Session. In this session, an instructor will explain the basic principles of alignment and begin teaching you some fundamental movements in order to familiarize you with class repertoire. From this session you will gain insight into what particular needs your body has and how to address, modify or focus your attention on these during class. It also gives you an opportunity to understand how the Pilates Method can be personalized to your body's strengths and challenges.
Group Matwork Classes
Matwork classes are a great way to learn foundations of the Pilates Method. These classes are offered by level of understanding and experience in Pilates practice. We are committed to keeping a low client-Instructor ratio in order to maximize your understanding.
Group Equipment Classes
Equipment classes entail working in groups of 3 – 6 with a certified instructor on the specialized pilates apparatus. Participants are required to have a good basic knowledge of the Pilates Method before attending these classes. We reserve the right to oblige an individual to complete a number of private sessions with either a certified or an apprentice instructor in order to ensure safety on the equipment and your progress throughout the program.
Pilates Equipment classes offer the opportunity for clients to reap the benefits of the Pilates apparatus in a group setting and can be partnered with mat classes or private lessons to create a well rounded exercise regimen.
Born in the Navy SEALs, TRX® Suspension Training® bodyweight exercise simultaneously develops strength, power, endurance, mobility, durability, balance, flexibility, and core stability. It is a fabulous compliment to Pilates training, and a performance training tool that leverages gravity and the user's bodyweight to enable exercises that can be instantly scaled for any user to reach any fitness or training goal.
Classes include standard TRX workouts as well as TRX/Pilates combo and circuit training.
Custom Group Classes
Custom classes are an ideal option if you have a pre-organized group of friends/colleagues and are looking for a class tailored to your scheduling and programming needs. Particularly if you are a group who are dealing with injuries and chronic pain, or perhaps are considered pre/post natal, consider this route to help you reap the most benefits from Pilates classes.

BP spent all of Tuesday cleaning up after an undetermined amount of crude oil spilled into Lake Michigan.
"We've stopped the source and we've isolated what remains of the oil in this cove," said BP Spokesman, Scott Dean.
BP believed the oil came through its refinery's cooling system and into the water around 4:30p.m. Monday.
The company said the spill is now contained to this area in between the refinery's wastewater treatment plant and a nearby steel mill.
Crews have been working since then to collect the oil with lines of boom and manpower.
"We have crews that are able to use what are called vacuum trucks and just common hand tools and their own glove hands to pick up these small congeal droplets of oil and to put them into bags for disposal," Dean added.
The U.S. Coast Guard said Tuesday the spill covered about 5,000 square feet of water.
1st Class Petty Officer Jeremy Thomas with the U.S. Coast Guard is the Federal on scene coordinator.
"Mother nature helped out in this case which is common for the Great Lakes, really," Officer Thomas said. "The winds tend to blow everything on shore so it puts it in a place where it can be collected and maintained."
The Environmental Protection Agency also remained in Whiting monitoring the situation.
"BP will work with the EPA and the Coast Guard and we'll agree upon a clean up standard...and they will continue the clean up until they reach those goals," said E.P.A. on scene coordinator, Mike Beslow.
Surfers just west of the spill didn't appear too concerned.
"It sounded like they have it all taken care of, I assume. And nothing seemed any dirtier than normal today," said David Owens.
BP hasn't released how much oil spilled into the lake, but expected to release more information as early as Wednesday.
The company said its crews will remain in Whiting until everything is cleaned up.
The Coast Guard and the EPA will be on site Wednesday morning with a shoreline cleanup assessment team to look at the impact.

Following series of mortgage-related settlements with too-big-to-fail banks, some less substantial lenders may soon find they are not too small to scrutinize. [more]
Posts Tagged 'FHA'
From the December issue: Owning a co-op or condominium unit sometimes carries a caveat: You might not be able to sell it. A building sponsor's refusal to sell units can make it difficult, or even impossible, for residents to unload — or even refinance — their homes at market rates. [more]
Policy changes by two of the biggest players in the mortgage market could open doors to home purchases this fall by thousands of people who were hard hit by the housing bust and who thought they'd have to wait for years before owning again. [more]
Pressured by consumer protection regulators, the Federal Housing Administration is expected to end one of its most controversial practices: charging borrowers interest on their home mortgages for weeks after they've paid off the entire principal balance. [more]
The Federal Housing Administration's projected losses over 30 years could hit $115 billion, according to a Congressional committee's documents reported by the Wall Street Journal. [more]
Who says lenders need to charge you a cash down payment when you take out a mortgage in this era of hyper-strict underwriting? Just about everybody. But hold on. Two prominent federally chartered credit unions beg to differ with this consensus opinion. [more]
From the March issue: For homebuyers hoping to use minimal cash by getting an FHA-insured mortgage, here's some sobering news: Thanks to an ongoing series of fee increases and underwriting tweaks — the most recent of which were announced Jan. 31 — FHA is getting steadily more expensive. FHA is the Federal Housing Administration, the largest source of low down-payment mortgage money in the country. Its minimum down is just 3.5 percent, compared with anywhere from 5 to 20 [more]
A federally backed lending program may help buyers tap into run-down homes for a quick return on investment, the New York Times reported. The Federal Housing Administration's 203(k) program allows buyers to incorporate the cost of necessary repairs into their mortgage, on both single-family homes and multifamily homes with up to four units. The loan—which requires a low down-payment of 3.5 percent– covers purchase and repair costs and is determined using the property's post-restoration value. Originations of 203(k) loans have increased to more than 25,000 in 2012, up from 3,400 in 2007. This opens the door for investors to quickly turn around a home for a profit, experts say. … [more]
Despite the Federal Housing Administration's growing losses stemming from troubled loans and talk of a taxpayer bailout, the U.S. Senate confirmed Sunday that Carol Galante would continue to be in charge of the agency. Galante, who had been running the FHA in an acting capacity since July 2011, was confirmed as an assistant secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, in a 69-24 Senate vote. The FHA backs a total of $1.1 trillion in U.S. home mortgages. Last month, due to troubled loans issued during the housing market downturn, it reported a projected deficit of $16.3 billion. … [more]
Federal legislation giving the Federal Housing Administration increased power to recoup losses on bad loans is not likely to pass in the Senate by the end of the year because of Republican opposition, according to the Wall Street Journal. The bill would give the FHA the power to force lenders to cover the cost of a defaulting loan, if the agency discovers a serious violation of federal lending standards, raising much needed cash. The bill "is a necessary and responsible step to protect taxpayers given the short amount of time left in the legislative session," Sen. Tim Johnson, the Senate Banking Committee's chairman, wrote in a letter last week. … [more]
With the Federal Housing Administration losing ever more money, the agency announced that it would tighten mortgage standards for certain homeowners and scale back the scope of its reverse-mortgage program for seniors, the Wall Street Journal reported. The changes, effective Jan. 31, will include the suspension of a popular reverse-mortgage option that allows Americans 62 or older to take cash out of their homes and receive a large, upfront payment. Carol Galante, the FHA's acting commissioner, called the move "an immediate stopgap measure." … [more]
Rehabbers and real estate investors rejoice: You'll still be able to sell houses to first-time buyers using low-down payment FHA-insured mortgages next year, even if you've owned the fixed-up property for less than 90 days. The Federal Housing Administration has decided to extend its rule permitting loans on quick "flips" of renovated houses beyond the scheduled Dec. 31 expiration deadline. … [more]
The National Association of Home Builders has called for "policymakers to proceed cautiously" when considering a restructuring of the Federal Housing Administration, which for decades has played a key role in stabilizing the housing market. The FHA ended September with a $16.3 billion in losses.
With rising mortgage delinquencies could exhaust the agency's reserves, the FHA is expected to announce that it will rely on funding from taxpayers for the first time ever. The decision on taking a taxpayer bailout won't come until 2013. [more]
The Federal Housing Administration is expected to announce that rising mortgage delinquencies could exhaust its reserves, potentially leading the agency to rely on taxpayer funding for the first time ever, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Last year, the FHA accounted for one third of home-purchasing loans among owner occupants, the Journal said. By backing mortgages with down payments as low as 3.5 percent, the agency plays a crucial role in supporting the housing market. Private lenders are loath to issue such loans without a government guarantee. [more]
Here's some encouraging news for condominium unit owners, sellers and buyers: The biggest source of funding for low down payment condo mortgages, the Federal Housing Administration, has revamped controversial rules that caused thousands of buildings across the country to lose their eligibility for FHA financing. The revised guidelines, which were issued Sept. 13 and took effect immediately, should make it easier for large numbers of condo associations to seek certification by FHA. [more]
Queens led the city in residential foreclosures during the economic downturn, and once again lenders are having trouble in the borough that saw an uptick in foreclosure filings in the first quarter of the year.
A survey by The Real Deal of Queens' most active lenders of loans insured by the U.S. Federal Housing Administration, a division of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, found several with delinquency rates above the norm; but one lender stood out for having far more defaults than the others. [more]
In a policy switch that could be important to thousands of applicants seeking low-down-payment home mortgages, the Federal Housing Administration has rescinded tough new credit restrictions that had been scheduled to take effect July 1.
The policy change would have affected borrowers who have one or more collections or disputed-bill accounts on their national credit bureau files, where the aggregate amounts were $1,000 or greater. Some mortgage industry experts estimate that if the now-rescinded rules had gone into effect, as many as one in three FHA loan applicants would have had difficulty being approved. [more]
From the June issue: Thousands of condo unit owners and buyers around the country could soon be in line for some welcome news on mortgage financing: Though officials are mum on specifics, the Federal Housing Administration is readying changes to its controversial condominium rules that have rendered large numbers of units ineligible for low-down-payment-insured mortgages.
The revisions could remove at least some of the obstacles that have dissuaded condominium homeowner association boards from seeking FHA approvals or recertifications of their buildings for FHA loans during the past 18 months. Under the agency's regulations, individual condo units in a building cannot be sold to buyers using FHA insured mortgages unless the property as a whole has been approved for financing. [more]
The Federal Housing Administration and President Barack Obama's plan to jump-start the housing market has led to historically low interest rates of 3.75 percent on 30-year mortgages, but critics of the policy warn that the FHA's easy lending may lead to a second housing-bubble, the Fiscal Times reported. [more]
Shaun Donovan, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is pushing for mortgage refinancing reform and supporting a proposed bill to eliminate certain refinancing barriers, according to DS News. The Federal Housing Administration convened with the Senate Banking Committee yesterday where Donovan made his case that lower fees, simpler underwriting guidelines and manual appraisals for borrowers would increase refinance opportunities for homeowners.
