I'm shocked that the DN would print something this biased.
HUD enforces any discrimination in housing laws, and they don't just go after banks. Conventional loans died as a result of come-on rates from Fannie and Freddie.
The taxpayer was bearing the risk and Countrywide simply did the deals and bundled the bad loans.
Regardless of the institution it is obvious that they were writing bad loans for people who had no business taking out those loans.
The refi scam (which is back again, by the way) allowed people to take out cash for whatever they wanted (cars, vacations, theater rooms, hot tubs...) over and over again.
The author conveniently ignores all the facts.

Having a fixed payment year after year has some security in knowing that rent isn't going up year after year. Knowing that there is an end in sight the incentive and gratification of owning a home out weighs not. sure you will replace all the appliances before it's payed for and you'll have to put a new roof on. you even have to mow the lawn and pull some weeds, spray for bugs. But ya can listen to your music doing it, not the apartment next door.

UCLA beats San Diego St. 33-14
PASADENA, Calif. Quarterback Kevin Prince got off to a successful start at UCLA despite some second-half difficulties in his debut. Those difficulties seemed to leave him excited rather than discouraged about his future.
"It's great to start with a win," the redshirt freshman said after passing for 176 yards and a touchdown in the Bruins' 33-14 victory over San Diego State on Saturday. "There's a lot to correct, and that's exciting."
There was very little to correct in the first half, when Prince completed 12 of 16 passes for 140 yards and a TD without being intercepted. He was just 6 of 13 for 36 yards with two interceptions after that.
"He showed that he could play at this level and then he showed he's a freshman," second-year Bruins coach Rick Neuheisel said. "I thought he played really well in the first half, I was elated with the way he played. He said at halftime how much fun he was having. All of a sudden, there was a notch of a letdown in his concentration. Both of his interceptions were easily avoidable. We are lucky to get that lesson without costing us a game."
Prince, who became just the second freshman to start a season opener for UCLA, also lost a fumble. He beat out Kevin Craft, last year's starter, in spring practice.
The Aztecs got off to a fast start, scoring touchdowns on their first two possessions and getting seven first downs and 161 yards of total offense in the first quarter. They managed only four first downs and 116 yards after that.
"They hit us hard early," Bruins linebacker Reggie Carter said. "I told the defense we were not being ourselves. I told them to calm down and focus. Then we did. We stopped the run and got a lot of three-and-outs."
And that meant a continuation of UCLA's domination of its in-state rival. The Bruins have a 21-0-1 record against the Aztecs and are 15-0 since the schools renewed their rivalry in 1984 after a 50-year hiatus.
"We are excited to be 1-0," said Neuheisel, whose team also won its season-opener last year but finished 4-8. "(But) we've got a lot of work to do. We should improve a great deal between week one and week two."
The game was played despite a wildfire that has burned in the nearby Angeles National Forest for nearly two weeks. Officials decided Thursday to play the game based on information from local air-quality officials and Pasadena city fire and health authorities.
San Diego State's Ryan Lindley passed for 142 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter, but wound up 18 of 45 for 238 yards and three interceptions – all by sophomore safety Rahim Moore.
"UCLA made adjustments, we did not execute," Lindley said. "We were not surprised by them. We were well-prepared, but we got sidetracked and did not execute. We had them, but we did not bounce back from adversity. We got thrown for a loop."
Both teams scored on their first two possessions to leave San Diego State with a 14-10 lead – a rather surprising development considering UCLA ranked 116th out of the 119 major college teams in total offense last year while San Diego State was 117th.

ASHLAND. Ore.- Some drivers on I-5 at Siskiyou Summit drove on the shoulder today to pass backed-up traffic, while others who had planned on delays, took it slow.
Some semi trucks this morning took the shoulder lane on the Siskiyou Pass.
Senior Trooper, Bill Matson, with Oregon State Police says, though this is common practice for truckers in an attempt to not slow other drivers behind them down, it is against the law.
Big rigs were not the only ones breaking this law on the summit today.
Interstate 5 was backed up just before noon today and some drivers decided to take the shoulder, creating a third lane.
A family driving south from Woodburn to Salinas, was trying to do the complete opposite.
The Nava family, keeping up daily with weather and road conditions online, over the phone and from friends who drove down Friday, postponed its trip until early Saturday morning to avoid bad weather.
Joshua Nava says, so far, he only saw bad winter conditions on the road this morning around 10 a.m. just before Grants Pass.
Joshua Nava says he made sure to plan ahead to assure his family would be ready for anything it may face, like having to chain up.
"Before, I just made sure that one of the guys showed me again and checked it out and then of course, my wife YouTubed the way to put 'em on, so we got a lot of practice, a little bit of you know, understanding how to put them on," says Nava.
He adds, "We have a safety kit that we actually had gotten some time ago. It has your basic jumper cables, flash light, flares and other tools. I actually added a few other tools to it."
Nava says, weather was not really an issue for them.
The family did have some car travels, but Nava says he is not worried about not making it to Salinas in time for Christmas, because the Navas left with plenty of time.
When their car began to give them trouble, they took the next exit of I-5, exit six, and were pleasantly surprised when they ran into Callahan's Lodge.
They waited at the lodge for a mechanic, and depending on the news, they may be on their way today, or spend the night at the lodge and head out again tomorrow.

Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.
Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering, and agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry.

By Eleanor Revelle (LWVIL and LWVUS Climate Change Task Force Member)
Water is an increasingly scarce resource. Many parts of the United States already face serious water shortages and even drought. Population growth and the changing climate are putting additional stresses on water supplies. Even in areas where water seems to be abundant, careful management of this precious resource is essential if we are to ensure a reliable supply for future generations.
Eleanor Revelle, LWVUS CCTF, June 23, 2009
The climate of the Midwestern states is already changing. Annual average temperatures have risen in recent decades, with the largest increases in the winter months. Extreme heat events are occurring more frequently, and heavy downpours are becoming much more common as well. The duration of lake ice, including on the Great Lakes, is decreasing, and the growing season is starting earlier and lasting longer.
The impacts of global warming on human and natural systems are now being observed nearly everywhere. In 2007, the Nobel Prize-winning U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted serious risks and damages to livelihoods, human infrastructure, societies, species, and ecosystems unless future warming is reduced. So far this decade, emissions, warming, and impacts, such as ice melt and sea level rise, have all been at the upper end of IPCC projections.
Evidence includes disappearing glaciers, increasingly severe heat waves and droughts in some areas, intensifying hurricanes and floods in others, and more wildfires. If left unchecked, the effects could be catastrophic: millions of people displaced as rising sea levels flood coastal areas; many regions devastated by reduced crop yields and shortages of drinking water; human health threatened by the spread of malaria and other vector-borne diseases; many plant and animal species at risk of extinction.
Statement from Elisabeth MacNamara, President of the League of Women Voters
Washington, DC – "Today's step by the Obama Administration to deny the Keystone XL Pipeline was the right decision. It is a decision that puts the health and safety of Americans ahead of blind reliance on fossil fuels. The route of the Keystone XL Pipeline was a threat to the drinking water of millions of Americans. The pipeline was just too big a risk to allow it to go forward.
Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development, "Rio+20," will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from June 20-22, 2012. The conference will be preceded by the third Preparatory Committee meeeting of the Conference from June 13-15. Registration is now open and will close on May 20. All attendees must be registered by the UN Observers, Rosalee Keech (firstname.lastname@example.com). For information on the conference, please link to http://www.uncsd2012.org/registration.
The League and coalition partners sent a letter to Senate and House leadership, opposing the attachment of any anti-environmental riders to the spending and tax bills that Congress is trying to get done before the end of the year.
League President Elisabeth MacNamara sent a letter to President Obama expressing opposition to the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline and urging him to deny the permit for the pipeline's construction.

Constant exposure to the bounties of nature, gourmet food, spa services, and other pampering are what you get at this all-inclusive luxury eco-lodge on the Islas Secas. To limit environmental impact, accommodations are in seven spacious yurts (round tents of Mongolian origin), with a hot-water bath, minibar, and other amenities that run on solar power and propane. Walking paths, made from washed-up coral and seashells, wind past lush jungle and towering palms to
the dining area where meals are served in an open-air restaurant overlooking a cove. Snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, whale watching, use of catamarans and kayaks, and light-tackle fishing are included, as are meals and drinks; deep-sea fishing and spa services are extra. Popular with honeymooners is the casita that can be reached only by kayak during high tide. Typically there are no more than 14 guests and 14 staff members on the island at any given time. The downside is rates are more than double those of any other hotel in Panama. To reach this island paradise, you can either fly directly from Panama City to the resort's landing strip, which takes one hour, or you can take a commercial flight to David and travel two hours by boat. Since the resort's owner purchased the entire 16-isle archipelago, there are no plans to develop the pristine islands that surround Isla Secas. New owners are considering converting the yurts to more permanent units at this writing, but the resort will still remain eco-sensitive.

We Bought a Zoo
Opens December 23
It's a plot worthy of a John Irving novel: In 2006, English newspaper columnist Benjamin Mee decided, in partnership with his aged mother and four siblings, to buy a dilapidated 30-acre zoo and its 200 animals. Mayhem followed, and then tragedy, as Ben's wife suffered a recurrence of brain cancer. Matt Damon stars in this adaptation of Mee's memoir from Jerry Maguire director Cameron Crowe. Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church, Elle Fanning, and Patrick Fugit (the young reporter in Crowe's Almost Famous) costar. There's no word yet on whether Crowe will keep the book's English setting — the accent police are on alert.

Optimum block adaptive filtering algorithms using the preconditioning technique
Dept. of Comput. Sci., Korea Adv. Inst. of Sci. & Technol., SeoulIEEE Transactions on Signal Processing (Impact Factor: 2.81). 04/1997; DOI: 10.1109/78.558502

ABSTRACT We propose three block adaptive algorithms using the
preconditioning technique. The Toeplitz-preconditioned optimum block
adaptive (TOBA) algorithm employs a preconditioner assumed to be
Toeplitz, the symmetric successive overrelaxation (SSOR)-preconditioned
optimum block adaptive (SOBA) algorithm uses a product of triangular
matrices as a preconditioner, and the circulant-preconditioned OBA
(COBA) algorithm is based on a circulant preconditioner. It is also
shown that their tracking properties and convergence rates are superior
to those of the OBA algorithm, the self-orthogonizing block adaptive
filter (SOBAF), and the normalized frequency-domain OBA (NFOBA)

ABSTRACT: A unified view of algorithms for adaptive transversal FIR filtering and system identification has been presented. Wiener filtering and stochastic approximation are the origins from which all the algorithms have been derived, via a suitable choice of iterative optimization schemes and appropriate design parameters. Following this philosophy, the LMS algorithm and its offspring have been presented and interpreted as stochastic approximations of iterative deterministic steepest descent optimization schemes. On the other hand, the RLS and the quasi-RLS algorithms, like the quasi-Newton, the FNTN, and the affine projection algorithm, have been derived as stochastic approximations of iterative deterministic Newton and quasi-Newton methods. Fast implementations of these methods have been discussed. Block-adaptive, and block-exact adaptive filtering have also been considered. The performance of the adaptive algorithms has been demonstrated by computer simulationsIEEE Signal Processing Magazine 08/1999; · 3.37 Impact Factor

Hello All,
I've been reading this Forum for nearly a year now and thought it was about time I join. Lots of great information here. I got into Home Brewing last year when my sister gave me a Mr. Beer kit for my birthday. I brewed the two included kits(Grand Bohemian Czech Pilsner and Aztec Cerveza) and have since moved on to custom recipes using DME and LME, Specialty Grains, and Hops. Still using the LBK(2.13 gallons fermenter) from the Mr Beer kit at the moment, but I'm hoping to upgrade to a 6 gallons kit soon.
I made an extract Honey Ale that came out good, but I confess I drank it too soon. This one could have used another 4-6 weeks in the bottle. Maybe longer.
Yesterday I made an extract Belgian Wit. Really looking forward to this one.
Anyway, glad to be on board. See you all around the forums.
Welcome! Many, many brewers started just the same way. I know I did. I still occasionally use the MrBeer or BrewDemon fermenters. I also use an Ale Pail and a couple of 12qt steel pots. Anything that will keep light and dirt out.

Commissioner for Kangaroo Island proposed
A Bill was introduced in May 2014 by Deputy Premier John Rau to establish a Parliamentary Act for a 'Commissioner for Kangaroo Island' to deliver improvements for the management, coordination and delivery of services provided by Government agencies to Kangaroo Island.
The Commissioner for Kangaroo Island Bill 2014 has been passed by both Houses of Parliament, and will be prepared for sign off by the Governor, finalizing it as an Act of Parliament.
Download the Fact Sheet and Commissioner for Kangaroo Island Bill here.
The Kangaroo Island Futures Authority (KIFA) has made outstanding progress over the past 2.5 years towards addressing the Island's key issues and creating opportunities. Click here to download the KIFA Achievements to May 2014 fact sheet.
The role of the Kangaroo Island Futures Authority (KIFA) is to:
The Kangaroo Island Futures Authority was formed by the South Australian Government in 2011 on the recommendation of the State Economic Development Board's Paradise Girt by Sea report.
KIFA is overseen by an advisory board led by the Chair of the Economic Development Board and provides advice to the Deputy Premier.
