@Antiviral "The banks were not greedy, just mindless. The greedy ones are the homeowners who took the ARM with a low teaser rate..."
Greed = The hope for easy money to be made
I don't blame one or the other group. It was the borrowers with the hope for ever rising house prices, the agents passing on mortgages they hardly needed to reality check, because the banks were talking them on just for a short period of time to get them AAA rated by the rating agencies and sell 'em off for investors hoping to make the easy money, too. So, a wonderful setup, in which everybody had their share in "making money being greedy". Let's not forget: It did work for years! What bank CEO could have told their shareholders, "Bank X, Y and Z are doing it, but I believe we shouln't do that because one day it will break." Can't lose your job much quicker. Charles "Chuck" Prince only in July 2007: "As long as the music plays, you gotta dance." So, it was a systemic issue. And to me, that's politics. All economic individuals were incentivized to participte. No one with political power had the guts to warn or even stop it.
@Yankee Doodle:
"At what cost will we survive? About a 4% of GDP debt load. Not good, but far from disabling."
Agreed, as long as there's financing. It needs financing, since I don't think you suggest to pay off that debt as it matures, but rather roll it over. Externally (Asia @ Europe) or internally (Savings). Only the funny 1tr on the count so far this year are 3,333bucks per capita. Babys and Grandpas alike. This is not a situation to hope for one's largest creditors to go belly up, too.
@Antiviral "The US is just not as socialist as a typical European country."
And that, exactly that, has changed Friday. With Private Consumption in freefall and Authorities taking over the Financial Falling Outs, Public Sector debt will be Top-Socialist. Check out the numbers! Bear Sterns' 29bn, AIG's 85 are peanuts and were just to warm up for the Big Bang Friday. Dividing the funny 1tr by 300mn gives 3,333USD. If ur a 4 person familiy: Say hello to 13,000bucks on your credit card bill just when you lose your job, home equity turns negative, and stocks fall. But most importantly: The US' FICO score soars, so: Who is gonna loan all the money in the first place?
@bacchusgr "What do you expect to happen when there are such few regulations."
Not sure about this. There's the SEC, the FED, FSA all of which have significant budgets and their share in regulation. To me, its the effectiveness that lacks due to political unwilligness to tell peolple "Well, the value added by your job doesn't qualify you for homeownership. You are not adding the value of a house by going to work every day. So, you will not own a house." "Little Pink Houses for You and Me" will work only under two circumstances: a) Workers have enough syvings to buy a house or b) Authorities own it "for u".
We are closer to the latter, don't you think?
Jose Carpintero "And Europe is not far behind, don't be fooled by its recent quietness..."
Europe has 2 real local reat estate markets in distress. Spain and Ireland. The UK sometimes wants to belong to Europe, sometimes not, but they're under severe stress also. All stressed markets share one feature: Prices have nothing to do with potential (rental) income. A healthy (i.e. reasonable, non-bubble) valuation for real estate multiplies rental income with some interes related factor, under normal conditions something like 15 to 20 times net rental income is a reasobable valuation. In most European markets (Germany, France, Italy to name just the largest) people pay 30 to 50% of their monthly paycheck for rents, and so real estate valuations are linked to personal income. The result is no irrational exuberance in valuations. Well, that is not true for most of US real estate.
Europe is not quiet, because it has their own bombs about to explode in their markets, but because nobody knows, what happens next in the US. And with the USD. With all the fuss about China and Japan owning US governement and Mac&Mae debt: Europe is a huge creditor also. And Europe is scared, that Hank will ask for a couple of more trillions to support the already lended money. Don't forget, it is Barclays buying significant parts of Lehman, and Allianz bidding for AIG assets, so they seem to have some more money...
"This is not the end of US for sure. But this should be the end of the conservative movement in US that raged on for the last 30 years. If it does not, THEN the end of US is pretty near."
Senator Obama took major cash in 2006 to oppose necessary reforms. Senator McCain sponsored the bill to reform what has just blown up.
The people who created Senator Obama's financial plan for the US are about to face criminal indictments for their role in the mortgage meltdown.
How will that destroy any conservatives (except those who also took bribes)? Will this destroy Obabma?
"The States has the "too big to fail" policy but, why are corporations allowed to become so big. I thought that was the purpose for anti-trust laws."
No, these laws are to ensure competition. They have nothing to do with size.
There are no too big to fail laws, nor in a global economy, should there be.
dinastrange wrote: i think the point is not whether the US will survive or not. We survived Great Depression but at WHAT COST? That's the key word...
The Great Depression was extremely mismanaged. It did not have to last one year. Might the US regulators mess it up as badly, yes, this is possible. If they don't mismanage (and it looks like they won't), it won't bleed into 2009. The US even with new debt of 4% of gdp is FAR below the GDP debt level of 1959. If the US takes on a 4% increase in debt, it still leads the G7 in financial restraint.
Don't understimate the value of accurate information and a plan early on. Right now, the US issue will soon fade from discussion. Those hiding the facts, those unable to reach consensus, and those still without a plan need face their own possible Great Depression.
At what cost will we survive? About a 4% of GDP debt load. Not good, but far from disabling.
The antitrust laws specifically prevent and punish gangs of companies from maliciously causing public harm. It doesn't cover stupidity. You can't really punish a company for ineptness more than letting it die, so I say they it die. The problem is systemic; there are so many banks teetering on the edge. Replacing the big companies with smaller ones won't help. Of course, more regulation is a nice feel-good answer, but you can't regulate away poor management and ineptitude.
The banks were not greedy, just mindless. The greedy ones are the homeowners who took the ARM with a low teaser rate thinking they could beat the system and sell their house before the mortgage rates rose. They are paying now and they should pay. On the other hand, the banks need to face the situation of poor collateral and a glut of cheap homes on the market and renegotiate the loans. The banks need to swallow their losses, too.
Just for the record, not every American is contributing to this mortgage mess, just a few percent. For example, I am an American who took out a mortgage in 2003, at the same time as all of these financially drowning families. I did not buy a house that I could barely afford. The first loan agent tried to sell me an ARM; I laughed and left. I got a fixed-rate mortgage with the next agent. I wisely keep a safety cushion in the bank in case I lose my job. I do not borrow money against my house. I'm hardly unique in the US; there are 100 million others just like me.
Late realization that the fire extinguishers could not put down the fast spreading fire in the financial sector. The regulator has totally failed in its duty to the investors. Risk Managers demonstrated that the mathematical models are not going to be the answers for the greedy financial institutions. It is time to realize that capital adequacy ratios of financial institutions would be of no avail in the backdrop of poor regulation and a sleeping supervisor. Yerram
This patching and re-patching of leaks in the financial system reminds me of Japan in the early 90s.
Remember how we used to wonder how Japan never quite seemed to sort out its banking mess?
Well, now it is the US' turn. And Europe is not far behind, don't be fooled by its recent quietness...
I really don't know why so many people are in shock. What do you expect to happen when there are such few regulations. The States has the "too big to fail" policy but, why are corporations allowed to become so big. I thought that was the purpose for anti-trust laws. These laws and regulations are set in place to protect the public. They are set into place for the greater good. We had forgotten that and instead followed a path of greed. Now we're paying the price. Shall we now enact a "too many to fail" policy and support the thousands of families drowning in debt and foreclosure. Highly doubtful.
Antiviral// This is not the end of US for sure. But this should be the end of the conservative movement in US that raged on for the last 30 years. If it does not, THEN the end of US is pretty near.
Those of you who believe that this is the beginning of the end of the US need to wake up. What the US is doing now is exactly what typical European countries would do in a similar situation, but no one talks about the end of France or Italy when they subsidize their failing companies. The US is no paragon of capitalism; it has been socialist for a long time with its social security and medicare. The US is just not as socialist as a typical European country.
After I read the article, I was going to say "let all of these companies sleep in the bed they made" because Bush is doing a typical Roosevelt dance. He's doing exactly what Roosevelt accused Hoover of not doing. We'll never know what would have happened in 1929 if Hoover had started bailing out the speculators, but my personal opinion is that Roosevelt reversed most of economic retooling that happened during Hoover's term. It was only after people and companies became more fiscally conservative during the pain of the Great Depression that the economy improved. The Democrats eased the pain, and the lesson wasn't learned as fast.
I then read the hypocritical comments here by liberals. I don't play favorites; the Democrat/Republican team has brought financial ruin to the federal government with gigantic, unrealistic spending promises combined with taxes far too low to pay for the promises. Both parties raise future spending (Bush's Medicare D) and both parties lower taxes (Clinton's 1993 tax cuts), so don't pretend that your pet party has the fiscal high ground. The liberals have a special role in the fiscal problems, though. The New Deal and Great Society were 100% Democrat programs. Before the Democrats took power in 1932, it was completely inconceivable that the federal government would take part of a man's income and give it to someone else's parents so that they could stop working and not pay for their own health care. Now everyone who lives into their mid sixties has their hands out for 1/4 to 1/3 of their lives. Can you imagine how difficult the Great Depression would have been if the federal government had been used to spending 10% more than it took in each year in 1929 and the federal debt had been 500% of annual federal spending in 1929? Even though 2/3 of federal spending today is social spending (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, community development, food stamps, etc-see 2007 Form 1040i, p 86), people are still screaming about suffering like it's 1929. Obviously all this social spending didn't prevent or solve the economic problems today.
More government spending will not solve the economic problems. Borrowing money to increase social spending will not solve our economic problems. Borrowing money to prop up poorly run companies also will not solve our economic problems. These actions are band-aids. Investors in mortgage lenders must all pay for foolishly lending money to people who had little invested in a house and couldn't pay for their loans. Homeowners must pay for getting ARMs to pay for overpriced houses. Only after everyone completely pays for their own poor decisions and becomes more financially conservative will the economy improve.
Paul Krugman, Joseph Stiglitz and or Ron Paul....they'd make awesome people to be on the top, since they are honest and actually know politics/economics...not those corrupt jerks we have on now.
Guys,when you say "government" do you mean "treasure that prints money" or "taxpayer" that pays money from their hard earned check. Either way you look, it's either inflation that eats us or higher taxes that eat us. Together this constitutes US GETTING POORER and THEM getting richer.Come on, this is THEFT of unimaginable levels.

Comunism went down when the Wall of Berlin fell, Capitalism is going to go down when the Wall Street falls.
I think it was communism that fell, pity, we need it here so badly at the moment. Wall St won't fall, we will prop it up more than the Stazi ever held up the Belin Wall.
Who needs terrorists when we have such financial terrorists on wall-street who just for some bucks are ready to collapse our economy. Thank you CEO's of Lehman, AIG etc. for making America financially less safe today. You are nothing more than terrorists.
If the root cause of the current credit crisis is the collapse of the mortgage market in the US, the proposed US$700 billion plus the US$900 billion the Fed already spent should be more than enough to end the crisis once and for all. The US govenment should simply purchase all mortgages loans under delinquency or foreclosure. Given the fact that the delinquency and the foreclosure rates stood at 6.41% and 2.75% of all loans outstanding at the end of the second quarter of 2008 and the total amount of outstanding residential mortgage debt was around US$12.08 trillion, the complete cleanup of the mortgage delinquency and the foreclosure costs only around US$1.1 trillion.
Judging from what happened during the S&L crisis, the proposed clean up of the "toxic loans" is destined to be a long way larger than US$700 billion.
I don't know much about how free markets work but I am scared of anybody getting absolute power without any say of courts... last time we gave this kind power to Mr. Bush and we are paying for it with our lives.
My God, this is absolutely horrible. The actions of the us government cannot be tolerate in which we are moving away from the principles of classical liberalism and the free market system. Hayek and Friedman are probably rolling in their graves while old Karl and John are laughing it up. Such moves by the government to "protect the economy" may sound noble; however, as Hayek stated in his novel Road to Serfdom, "We shall not grow wiser before we learn that much that we have done was very foolish"

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Defense Contracting:
Army Case Study Delineates Concerns with Use of Contractors as Contract Specialists
GAO-08-360: Published: Mar 26, 2008. Publicly Released: Mar 26, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7773
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In 2007, the Department of Defense (DOD) paid contractors $158.3 billion for a range of services, including contract specialists. To better understand the use of contractors in this role, GAO initiated a case study, under the authority of the Comptroller General, at the Army Contracting Agency's (ACA) Contracting Center of Excellence (CCE). GAO determined (1) the extent to which and why CCE relies on contractor contract specialists, (2) how risks of contractor use are mitigated, (3) how the cost of the contractors compares to that for CCE's government employees, and (4) whether the contract vehicles were appropriate. GAO reviewed a random sample of contract files to understand the contractors' duties and responsibilities, compared compensation costs, and reviewed documents from the General Services Administration (GSA), under whose contracts CCE ordered the contract specialists.
CCE has relied on contractor contract specialists since it began hiring them in 2003. In August 2007, contractors--who work side by side and perform the same functions as their government counterparts--comprised 42 percent of CCE's contract specialists. CCE officials cited difficulties hiring and retaining government personnel in light of the competition from government and the private sector for this competency. While CCE officials said that they prefer to use government employees, they have not considered the appropriate balance of contractor versus government contract specialists. Furthermore, CCE has not addressed the need for more training of its government employees to strengthen their skills in conducting CCE's increasingly more complex procurements. Methods to mitigate the risks of using contractors have been mixed in effect. First, the line separating contractor from government employee is blurry, and contractors did not always clearly identify themselves as such when dealing with the public. Second, the potential for the work being done under a personal services contract, which the Federal Acquisition Regulation generally prohibits because of the government-contractor relationship it creates, was clearly present. While contractor managers retained control over matters such as approving leave requests, CCE took steps to further strengthen the management distinction between government and contractor employees based on GAO's findings. Finally, risks of organizational and personal conflicts of interest were mitigated to some extent, but in practice the government relies on individual contractor employees to identify potential conflicts. These types of risks must be mitigated to ensure that the government does not lose accountability over policy and program decisions. CCE is paying up to almost 27 percent more for its contractor-provided contract specialists than for similarly graded government employees. This comparison took into account government salary, benefits, and overhead and the loaded hourly labor rates paid to contractors. Our review of available r?sum?s showed that six contractor employees supporting CCE in fiscal year 2007 had on average more contracting experience than CCE's five recent government hires. Despite CCE's legal counsel's concerns, CCE has been inappropriately ordering contract specialists under a GSA contract because the services were out of scope of those contracts. GAO found additional problems, such as a contractor advertising contract specialist services on GSA's Web site that it was not authorized to provide. Due to what it characterizes as the growing demand by federal agencies for contractor contract specialists, GSA recently posted a revised contract category, under which government agencies can procure contract specialists to provide acquisition management services, such as cost estimating and proposal evaluation support. In response to GAO's findings, GSA contacted each of the contractors involved in our review about their out-of-scope services and plans further follow-ups with them.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Army concurred with the recommendation and stated that an information paper re-enforces policies on contractor identification. The information paper requires contractors to identify themselves as contractors, and include the name of their firm, in all written correspondence and telephone communications. Contracting Center of Excellence (CCE) plans to review emails sent by contractor employees to ensure they are properly identified; such identification was added to CCE's contract file checklist. CCE has also re-organized the way that work is assigned, so that contractor representatives, not government contracting officers, assign work to contractor employees.
Recommendation: To help ensure that CCE has sufficient qualified government personnel to meet its mission, and uses contractors appropriately, the Secretary of the Army should direct ACA to work with CCE in implementing formal oversight procedures to ensure that contractors identify themselves as such in all interactions external to CCE, including telephone communications, e-mail signature lines, and documents, as required by the Federal Acquisition Register.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense: Department of the Army
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Army response stated that Contracting Center of Excellence (CCE) has implemented the recommendation, including formulation of individual development plans, a variety of training mechanisms, compliance with DOD certification requirements, and formal training at least once a quarter. In addition, during fiscal year 2009, CCE implemented once-a-month training provided by its legal office and training by the Directorate of Contracting in areas where issues have arisen on Wednesdays (when the office is closed).
Recommendation: To help ensure that CCE has sufficient qualified government personnel to meet its mission, and uses contractors appropriately, the Secretary of the Army should direct ACA to work with CCE in implementing a training program designed to ensure that CCE's permanent employees develop and maintain needed skills.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense: Department of the Army
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Agency response indicates that it agrees with the recommendation and that the long-term goal is to staff Contracting Center of Excellence (CCE) with government contract specialists. CCE has put forth an aggressive recruitment effort and states that it has decreased the number of contractor personnel from 31 in 2007 to 17 as of Feb. 2008. Further reductions in contractor personnel are anticipated. We consider this recommendation implemented, as the "appropriate mix" of the contract specialists over the long term, in the Army's view, is an all-government workforce.
Recommendation: To help ensure that CCE has sufficient qualified government personnel to meet its mission, and uses contractors appropriately, the Secretary of the Army should direct ACA to work with CCE in identifing the appropriate mix of contractor and government contract specialists over the long term and develop a plan to help fill positions to achieve the desired balance.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense: Department of the Army
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Based on our report, Congress included a provision in Section 831 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 requiring DOD to develop guidance related to personal services contracts to (1) require a clear distinction between employees of the DOD and employees of DOD contractors, (2) provide appropriate safeguards with respect to when, where, and to what extent DOD may enter into a contract for the procurement of personal services, and (3) assess and take steps to mitigate the risk that, as implemented and administered, non-personal services contracts may become personal services contracts. Pursuant to Section 831, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) was amended in May 2011 to provide the required guidance on personal services contracts. In addition to amending DFARS, DOD added a section to DOD Instruction 1100.22, revised in April 2010, that describes an inappropriate personal services contractual arrangement and provides guidance on assessing whether or not the work is personal in nature.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should issue guidance to clarify the circumstances under which contracts risk becoming improper personal services contracts and to provide direction on how the risk should be mitigated.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: GSA agreed with the recommendation. In the 60-day letter it stated that GSA will conduct a survey of contractor postings on GSA Advantage to determine the extent to which contractors are advertising products or services not awarded in their contracts. Based on the survey results, GSA said it would develop appropriate remedial actions to address the identified concerns. GSA said it would also consider the extent to which it may be necessary to conduct similar compliance surveys on a periodic and random basis going forward. On October 21, 2009, GSA informed GAO of survey and analysis completion, and the agency forwarded the results to GAO. GSA found minor discrepancies in the rates set forth in some Advantage files and planned to take immediate steps to ensure that the correct rates were posted to Advantage for the particular contracts. GSA found no instance in which a contractor advertised products or services that had not been awarded in its underlying schedule contract and, concluding that there was not a systemic problem, decided that no further action was needed.
Recommendation: The Administrator of GSA should strengthen internal controls to guard against situations where contractors advertise services on the GSA Advantage Web site that are not in their underlying GSA schedule contracts.

2cm granite: plywood underlayment or plexiglass?
I have always thought that plywood 5/8 ACX was to be used for 2cm granite plywood underlayment. I have recently learned that plexiglass can also be used. I had never heard of this method. Does anyone else know anything about the pros and cons of using plexiglass? I was told that the plexiglass come in thickness up to 2".
I have not tried Plexiglass or the bullet proof version known as Lexan -
Historically - either product has been more expensive than 5/8 inch
ACX grade plywood - and I don't know of any benefits to using Plexilass
or Lexan - but would like to hear the reasoning for either product's use..
Personally - I think that cost would be more than 5/8" ACX..........
It's pretty flexible, more so than plywood, so to have either lexan of plexi used as an underlayment, it'd have to be pretty thick. Thick stock would be more expensive than the stone topping it.
I can see zero benefit to using plexi or lexan and only more expense. I'd rather have 3 cm granite than 2 cm with 1" plexi underneath. It'd be stronger and far far cheaper.
azstonecothensulting and live wire oak, thank you both for your opnions. Kevin, I did call the two names you sent me, it seems like the job site is too far for both. They referred me to a third place and they said they use plexiglass, they glue it to the granite and bring the whole thing to the jobsite and glue it to the cabinets. Is it possible to call you for consulting? I am out of ideas! It is the underlayment that has the fabricators here baffled, they can do the lamination and fabrication of the 2cm, just the underlayment they have no experience doing.
Sheila - you know how to et a hold of me...HA!
Poppy09 - do NOT use 2CM without a subtop - if you do - I'll hunt you down
and give you proper batch of NOOGIES!!! (ala Bill Murray) ..HA
Your "fabricator" is a pretender... ALL - I SAY AGAIN - ALL 2CM stone
that is used as a countertop on cabinets - MUST - I SAY AGAIN - MUST HAVE SUBTOPS
of 5/8 inch ACX plywood.....THIS is NOT NEGOTIABLE!!!!
If you do things the way he's telling you - the job WILL FAIL!!!
I get called to look at failures all the time - I have nothing to gain here by
telling you the truth.. the job should NOT be done the way the guy there is
telling you he does all the rest of 'em.... I can pretty much assure you that
the guy you're talking to has not been in business very long, and won't be
for long either if this is the way he does his installs......
It's just that simple.... any person that is calling themselves a Fabricator
(with a capital "F") should know that - otherwise - they're just a pretender...
I make no apologies when it comes to this kind of scenario - there's the right
way to do things or not at all - Mercedes Benz says it this way:
"Das Beste Oder Nichts" (The BEST or NOTHING)
Poppy09 - where are you located? I could refer you to some "more qualified" personnel that
do things the way they're supposed to be done - the right way...
First: sheila99: Again, I'm sorry for hijacking. I'm happy you had this question so I can learn.
Kevin: I'm in ATL, GA. I was told by a 'local' fabricator that installing 2 cm stone (any stone: granite, marble, quartz) was totally okay without a subtop--as long as the cabinet had supports (braces added to the frame). I specifically asked about this because I like the look of 2 cm (w/o a laminated edge), I'm shorter and like the countertop lower, and because I wanted to know if it was possible to put a subtop within the cabinet frame instead of using a plywood subtop on top of the cabinet frame that would have to be covered with a laminated edge.
(The fabricator I spoke with came highly recommended, and says he has been in the business for more than 20 years.) However, I wanted to take this opportunity to ask, because one never knows. So ist das leben, nicht var?

Banksy's Bristol
Home Sweet Home : the Unofficial Guide
The witty and subversive style of graffiti artist Banksy appeals equally to street art fans and the rich and famous. This book is a celebration of Banksy's street art in his home city of Bristol. Banksy's Bristol is the most revealing account of Banksy's formative years and contains more than one hundred images of his art, as well as pictures of Banksy at work, many of which have never been published before. This book places Banksy in the context of 3D (Massive Attack), Inkie, Nick Walker and the other artists and musicians who were instrumental in linking Bristol to the original New York hip hop scene. Steve Wright, Venue magazine's Art Editor, traces Banksy's roots back to the rave culture of the Nineties and draws a rounded picture of an artist who is most famous for being anonymous.

How to fit and repair taps
New basin taps are a great way to upgrade your bathroom. Look out for versions with an eco click mechanism, as they'll help you and your family control how much water you use. If one of your taps is dripping, try to fix it promptly - otherwise it'll stain your bath or sink and cause erosion inside the mechanism of the tap.
Practical planning - Bathrooms
Whilst planning your bathroom it can be easy to forget those little practical details. Think about the kind of look you want to achieve but also the space you are buying it for; a family bathroom will have different needs to a downstairs cloakroom.
