Jack Cardiff has captured cinema's most beautiful women and some of its most colourful moments
KIRK DOUGLAS says he possesses "the eyes of Chagall". Lauren Bacall claims he was the only cameraman who could meet the impossible demands of John Huston. Marilyn Monroe insisted that he photograph her for The Prince and the Showgirl; Sophia Loren even had a crush on him.
All this lavish praise is for Jack Cardiff, the cinematographer who made his name with such visually ground-breaking films as A Matter of Life and Death, Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes.
At 89, Cardiff is still impish, alert, restless, working, and still talking — he's a rich vein of celluloid anecdote. He

Sure, Dario bought Melanie concert tickets, but the real win was when he negotiated Mel's time off! Any guy who has the nerve to ask Maxine for a favor, and the charm to actually get that favor, deserves a gold star.
We got an interesting lesson in soap justice this week. We (okay, mainly me) have been narrow-minded in thinking that the only way for someone to pay is for them to go to jail. But, should anyone ever truly pay for something by rotting in jail, the very essence of soaps would be compromised.
Soaps are ongoing serials where the same players must continue to their stories. They aren't dramas where kids graduate and new ones come along. They aren't reality shows where people are voted off each week. So there must be some other means for getting one's due comeuppance. Sometimes it's by losing your children. Sometimes it's by watching your scheme blow up in your face. Sometimes it's by losing your fianc�. Sometimes it's by losing your life. But whatever it is, we have to look for the alternative kinds of retribution. And we got a boat full of them last week.
BO, HOPE, ARNOLD, SAMI, RAFE, E.J., and STEFANO
The initial plan was very smart. Get Arnold to believe that
Gloria Delgado-Pritchett's
daytime double would put him under the protection of her Colombian mafia family. It worked like a charm. Arnold signed the deal and was all set to give his statement.
That is, until the Salem Police Department dropped the ball and put other prisoners in the same cell with the man that looks exactly like a cop. The police officers
have recognized that danger since, deducing from the uniform and badge, they were cops too. This extremely rare blunder by the usually
competent Salem PD cost Arnold his life. Too bad they went through the trouble of grounding Stefano's plane for nothing.
The good news is that this storyline is over. In the end, Sami got full custody of her kids, Rafe is back safe and sound, and E.J. is left with nothing except his own disgrace and self-hate. Since we're moving forward to the next round of writers, allow me to express one major flaw with this whole Double Rafe storyline in attempts to avoid it happening again.
It seems that the writers intended to set this up as a Brady vs. DiMera storyline, and thus expect me to cheer when the Bradys emerged victorious. I'm happy to concede that the cumulative Bradys are definitely the good guys compared to the cumulative DiMeras. But this storyline is really about Sami vs. E.J. And in that battle, they're equally bad -- or good -- depending on how you like your martinis.
Watching Sami smile, jump into Rafe's arms, and proclaim that E.J. is finally going to get what's coming to him left me wondering what alternate reality Sami and Rafe actually live in. Same has no right to play the "you hurt the children" card on E.J. when she's done the same level of jerky things to him.
If the goal was to have E.J. continue to victimize the Bradys the way his father had before, then E.J. should have fallen in love with Carrie or Stephanie. Sami doesn't and never will possess enough purity to be considered a true victim. Truth be told, that's my favorite thing about her.
For his part, E.J. is not evil for the sake of being evil like Stefano or Andre. We've seen him show remorse numerous times before. Whether it was telling Marlena that John was locked in the basement or signing custody over to Sami, E.J. goes through these periods when he flirts with the good side. And
what keeps his character interesting.
Bottom line, Sami vs. E.J. isn't your traditional Brady vs. DiMera and should not be treated as such.
CARLY, JENNIFER, and DANIEL
Ahh, the never-ending debate: Should bros really come before hoes? (Please note, in this analogy, Daniel is the hoe. It's a stretch, I realize, but just do your best.)
If the situation is�say�I don't know�your sister's husband tells you that he's not into your sister anymore but you know that your sister is still madly in love with him, then yes. You back off because "bros" come first. It is wrong to start sleeping with him and accepting his diamond rings.
However, if you realize that your "bro" has interest in your "hoe" after you've already started seriously dating, then no. You're under no obligation to break up with your real boyfriend because your friend wants to imagine a future with him -- especially when he hasn't been interested in her in decades. (Thanks to Adrienne for pointing that one out!)
As for Daniel, I don't think he's ever given Carly mixed signals. Yes, I know he asked her out to dinner and told her how wonderful she is, but he's been doing that since the second she showed up at Salem U Hospital and he testified on her behalf to get her the job. I have yet to see a change in Daniel's behavior towards Carly that would lead her to believe that his feelings for her have evolved past friendship.
I'm hoping that it's only a matter of minutes until Daniel figures out that Jennifer's cryptic "Carly is not as strong as you think she is" and the little bag of painkillers that she had him test go hand-in-hand. As much as I adore watching Crystal Chappell work, Carly is becoming a caricature junkie. Real addiction doesn't just kick in when Daniel and Jen make out. Crystal could play the living daylights out of a storyline where Carly wrestles with addiction, but that's not what she was given. As Vivian from
Pretty Woman
would say, "
BRADY, DARIO, and MELANIE
Dario is starting to do a lot right. Sure, he bought Melanie concert tickets, but the real win was when he negotiated Mel's time off! Any guy who has the nerve to go ask Maxine for a favor -- and the charm to actually get it -- receives a gold star from me.
What doesn't get a gold star is Brady's bogus interest in Melanie. I love them both, but they're clearly being thrown together because the writers looked around the room and said, "Hey, these guys are left. Let's make them date. What can go wrong?" Plenty. It's like when I try to make a meal out of pantry leftovers. Let me save the writers some time: the ramen, ketchup, and dry vermouth soup does not turn out well.
I hope Brady's job offer backfires. It could. Dario was the one who came to town and single-handedly found a way to solve Arianna's murder. Something tells me that he may be able to handle the hardest manager Titan has to offer.
By the way, I remember Taylor and Brady having a conversation a few months ago about having to make budget cuts at Titan. I'm pretty sure the manager who approves more overtime than any other manger would be the first to go in those situations. Perhaps someone should look into this "bookkeeping" degree that Taylor supposedly has. What's that? No one thinks about Taylor enough to care? Okay. Moving on�
CHLOE and QUINN
Really? Chloe asked Quinn for the money? Not Nicole, Brady, or Maggie?
Perhaps Chloe knows something that the rest of us don't. Perhaps Chloe knows why Quinn flips back and forth between the guy who pimps out women and runs a drug ring to the guy who tells Kate to back off and actually (and believably!) threatens her if she keeps going after Chloe. Perhaps Chloe is a genius after all!
Be it her general cerebral dominance or her blissful ignorance, Chloe was happy this week. And I liked seeing that. I loved Chloe's scenes with Kinsey because it reminded me of how young Chloe was when she first came to Salem. Seeing Chloe mentor one of the younger generation and hearing Kinsey go on and on about how beautiful Chloe is made me realize that Ghoul Girl really has come full circle.
There's a terrible "go out with a bang" pun that I refuse to make here. But, wouldn't it be great to see Chloe leave as a strong woman? I don't want to see Randy blab to the social worker. I don't want to see Chloe turn another trick. I have hopes that Philip will show up at Chloe's show, realize that she's gotten herself together, and agree to let Chloe share custody of Parker. The ditzy, but never malicious, Chloemeister should leave with a fighting chance at happiness.
Sonny asked T to go to a baseball game with him. T happily accepted and then promptly flipped out about it once he learned that Sonny is gay. Consequentially, Kinsey had to run out and buy all new notebooks since her current ones are covered in "Mrs. Sonny Kiriakis" doodles. Although, I will admit still possessing notebooks that proclaim me to be "Mrs. Doogie Howser," as I refuse to let go of that dream.
Anyway, I knew that at least one character would have the unenviable job of declaring, "Ew! You've got the gay kooties!" There's no way a main character would be saddled with such a harsh task. But I'm disappointed that the job fell to T. I really hope that T gets schooled quickly so that his ignorance doesn't cause him too much damage. He's usually a fun-loving goofball, and I think it would be a shame to ruin his character.
I'm starting a Save Casey Deidrick campaign as of right now. Chad's scenes with ex-dad/current asshat, D.A. Woods, were amazingly powerful. Why again are we wasting Chad on Abigail? The two have painstakingly done circles around the same issue for months, and I'm over it. I'd like to see Chad in another story.
other story. With
other character. Since he's starting fresh with a new family, why not start fresh with a new girl who can at least match his level of intensity?
Vivian offered Quinn a job with a legitimate business. Does she have any of those?
E.J. remembered seeing Melanie's face the night he was beaten. I wonder if he'll realize that she took care of him and give her back the fuels project as a thank-you.
Rafe told both Dario and Gabi the truth about the double. But, we didn't get to see those scenes. I think those could have been good material and been a nice ending to the story. But, I guess there needed to be more time for all those Victor and Maggie scenes we got instead. Wait a minute. We didn't get those either!
Nicole told Brady that she misses how happy she was when she was with him. Keep after it, sister. Don't believe that any redhead stands in your way.
Kate was thrilled that Stefano wasn't going to jail. I know he literally got away with murder, but the fact that I still get plenty of Kate and Stefano scenes makes it easier for me to handle. Although, Kate making a few cellblock visits would have been a hoot.
As I watched E.J. roll on the floor in tremendous pain, two things hit me. One, James Scott and Arianne Zucker are absolutely amazing together. I got physically uncomfortable watching James (yes, that is a compliment), which made it all the more amazing how calm and cool Arianne stayed. She managed to keep Nicole perfectly straddled between disgust and relief.
Two, I finally understood what crime E.J. committed against Nicole. The answer is quite simple: he never truly loved her back and exploited her love for him. In the history of storytelling, that's the worst kind of pain that a man can inflict. Just look what it did to
Let's review the facts: A gorgeous woman, whom Sami has never heard of, shows up, kisses Rafe and Dario, calls Rafe "baby," reminisces about the times she told him that he'd make a good husband, and Rafe does nothing but speak in fragments and pour wine for everyone. When Sami finally does learn why Sophia is in her house, it becomes clear that Rafe opted to leave Sami out of the loop on the plan to get Arnold to confess.
I realize that Rafe has a pattern of keeping things from Sami. He didn't tell her that he had a sister, or a dead fianc�e. Neither she nor I should really be surprised that he kept Sophia and their plan a secret too. But I'm tired of Sami being treated like she's not an equal in this relationship. This couple desperately needs to be more balanced.
Phelps (about Vivian):
"What's the deal here with the diva of darkness?"
I'm actually surprised that Vivian didn't take that as a compliment.
Johnny's matching slippers and dinosaur pajamas were amazing. I'm not sure why we ever grow out of that stage of life.
Thanks to Carly, I was proud to wear a headband with my bun this week.
Kate's green nail polish was full of Turtle Power.
I want to have movie and ice cream night with Maggie and Jennifer!
I did search for any minor league team called the Titans, but I came up with nada. Thus the mystery of what state Salem is in
(it's Illinois)
still remains unsolved.
Hey Dario, Tony and I will take those Green Day tickets off your hands! We'll have the time of our life!
Hearing Rafe repeat, "E.J. is giving custody to Sami
and me
" made me scratch my head because in the scene that I saw, E.J. told Sami that he was giving custody
to her
I had to laugh at the montage of all of the possible suspects who could have filled the women's shoes in E.J.'s memory. He certainly makes a habit of ticking off the ladies.
When Abe told Lexie that he thought E.J. and Stefano were going to jail, I had a brief vision of a DiMera family dinner at Lexie's house with Chad, Sonja, and Steven.
Whew! Don't look now, DAYS fans, but we're one week closer to the new writers taking over Salem! Until then, some things to consider: Is there any chance that Quinn owns the club in Brooksville and told his manager to hire Chloe no matter what? Are police badges really made of silver? Do Bo and Hope really think that "Frankenrafe" is a better option that "Rafenstein"? Who do you think should be the new bartender at the Cheatin' Heart?

The National Research Council in 2001, recognizing the need for multi-disciplinary research and longitudinal studies on aging, emphasized that cross-national studies can provide substantially more useful evidence for policy than can single country studies. The Council also stressed the need for harmonizing and standardizing data collection across countries. The National Institute on Aging has recently reiterated the need to understand international differences in health and longevity on older adults. A prerequisite for this is comparable measurement and data. It is with this intent that WHO's Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) has been designed using a set of methods to provide comparable cross-national data. Though SAGE is focused on Low and Middle Income (LAMI) countries, comparative analysis of data from similar studies in high income countries is likely to provide useful insights that will be mutually beneficial. The creation of a common harmonized data set where great deal of attention has been paid to ex ante and ex post harmonization strategies and the validity of the indicators from such a harmonized data set has been demonstrated for further in-depth analysis is the foundation for comparative analysis. The current proposal sets out an agenda to further align the measurement of health, quality of life and well-being in SAGE with other cross-national studies such as the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) in the US and the Study of Health And Retirement in Europe (SHARE) in 11 European countries (in its first wave and in 13 countries in the European Union in the second round), and other national studies such as the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) in the UK, the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI) and the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The proposed study aims to harmonize SAGE methods and data with HRS, SHARE, ELSA, LASI and CHARLS for self-reported health and well- being, adjusting for known biases in self-report across two waves of the surveys. Besides harmonizing measurement of self-reports it also intends to create derived variables using data from health examinations and biomarkers where available. The proposed study will prepare a combined data set for the three main outcomes (health state, quality of life and well-being) across these surveys and record the psychometric properties of the different instruments with regard to their internal consistency, factor structure, IRT properties, sensitivity to change and construct and predictive validity. Redundancies across surveys will be identified and a parsimonious set of items that measure the constructs in the most reliable and valid manner will be identified. The ability of the measures to predict future health outcomes will be compared across these surveys where longitudinal data is available from multiple waves (in SAGE, HRS, ELSA and SHARE). The study will thus provide a harmonized data set across these surveys with a methodology to measure these outcomes in a robust manner.
With the rapid demographic and epidemiological transition occurring globally, including in low and middle income countries, there is an urgent need to generate data with regard to the dynamics of health, quality of life and well-being in the older adult segment of the population that is comparable across populations and over time. Insights obtained from such studies will help shape current and future health and social policy. Important strategies to prevent the burden of ill-health and disability in older age groups, as well as to extend health care for chronic diseases, can be identified to promote well-being and improve quality of life.

National Curriculum Assessment by Richard Daugherty
Book DescriptionThe assessment of the National Curriculum has evolved from the first blueprint of the TGAT Report through a series of policy decisions and early experience of implementation. The pace of change, the complexity of the proposed assessment system and the political rhetoric associated with it have served to confuse and so obscure the trends in policy and practice. This book offers an account of that system and explains why it is now emerging in a substantially different form from that envisaged by its originators.

Rally Sport Halo - Great Seat!
From Bryan T of Pineville, North Carolina on 11/27/2015.
Overall, this is a very nice seat for the money. If you are considering this vs. a composite seat, I'd pick this one all day long.I previously ran a Kirkey seat modified for full containment, but wanted to swap for easy of entry and to permit the use of a HANS device. I have big shoulders, a big chest, and big hips to match, so I was worried about ordering a seat I couldn't "test drive".In terms of exterior dimensions, the Ultrashield width was within a 1/4" of the Kirkey, so the swap was almost . . .

From Matt G of Houston, Texas on 9/10/2015.
Ordered this seat for a ChumpCar / WRL build. Quality of the aluminum seat is VERY good and the welds look great. The included seat pad is easy to remove for mounting and fabrication in the car. Think it will work great for washing after some long races as well. Seat is quite comfortable as well. Overall, a great seat at a great price.

In the May 10 finale of "The Apprentice" second celebrity edition, Joan Rivers came out triumphant. The comedienne won over poker player Annie Duke who has been personally her nemesis throughout the competition, in the challenge to set up a pre-theatre VIP party experience for patrons attending Cirque du Soleil's hit show "Wintuk."
Here's what happened on the three-hour event. Donald Trump coming out of the mist at American Museum of Natural History, shaking hands with some people and announcing that the show will be back in 2010 for another season. He wished everyone a happy Mother's Day and the recap of the season was played. Annie said that in her life she has been playing game and so she can't be beaten this time. Joan said that this was good versus evil and it meant that she would win.
The show kicked off with the scene after last week's board room where Annie asked for some kind of respect for her and her friends from Joan. But Joan refused to give Annie any and then left the room. Both of them then met Mr. Trump and his children, Ivanka and Donald Jr. at Two Times Square. Mr. Trump then announced that each of them will be backed up by the fallen apprentices because it is a huge project.

They chitosan is a substance derived from the Chitina, a polysaccharide found in the exo-skeleton of different crustaceans like crabs, lobsters and prawns. They chitosan is chemically similar to the cellulose and it is not possible to be digested, therefore when it is ingested, it does not contribute calories to the diet
With its capacity to be united to fats in the gastrointestinal system of the organism, Chitosan Plus acts as an effective ?blocker of fats? or a ?fat catch-all? and avoids that the fats coming from the diet are absorbed by your body.

About Max S.Close
About Max
I currently perform over fifty concerts a year with the Asylum Quartet, an award-winning ensemble acclaimed for virtuosity, creativity, and innovation. I have also performed with the Juilliard Orchestra, the U.S. Coast Guard Band, and International Opera Theater. I hold a Master's in Music from The Hartt School and a Bachelor of Music summa cum laude from Arizona St
I have eight years of private teaching experience working with students of all ages and backgrounds. Additionally, I completed a ten-week private teaching mentorship at the Hartt Community Division with saxophone instructor Sheri Brown.
Though I specialize in saxophone, I also love teaching beginning and intermediate piano.
*** Lesson Scheduling***
I offer lessons on a monthly basis (4 lessons total) or semester basis (17 lessons total). Committing to multiple lessons encourages students' progress and dedication to the instrument, and enables me to reserve a regular time-slot in my schedule.
I do not accept students on a week-to-week basis.
***Lesson Materials***
Saxophone students must have an instrument in good repair and required accessories (reeds, mouthpiece, etc.). Piano students must have access to a tuned piano or a keyboard with touch-sensitivity. I am happy to recommend instrument and accessory brands; please check with me before a major purchase. Quality, working equipment is critical to students' success.
I periodically request that students purchase books and other lesson materials.
IMPORTANT: If you are planning to buy a saxophone or mouthpiece, please consult with me first. Having a good quality saxophone and mouthpiece is essential to your success. There are a number of cheap saxophones and mouthpieces readily available, but they are often of poor quality. I can recommend options for your first saxophone or mouthpiece purchase that may be more expensive, but will help you succeed in the long term.

The second half of the lesson is spent with the student learning their favorite songs and building a repertoire (song list) for possbile future performances.

About Steve
As a piano instructor, I believe in giving every student a foundation in classical music.. I enjoy teaching and playing Jazz and pop as well.
I've worked with
Music must be fun...always!
*** Lesson Details ***
My students see progress. I don't believe in cookie-cutter instruction. I take the time to learn a students individual comprehension of the musical language and their learning style. I also build a practice schedule that is realistic and creates growth. Music instruction should not feel like a burden, but should be joyful. It's a process I have respected. Whether you are 90 or 9, you can learn music, love music and feel its presence by playing an instrument or singing. My job is to communicate that joy and show you how you can do it for yourself.
Learning to master a musical instrument is a two way commitment and I will always give you my full effort as I love the results.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have a digital upright piano for piano and vocal instruction.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I will provide the lesson material and help students with purchasing the right method books.
*** Specialties ***
For beginning Piano-Intermediate, I have embraced the James Bastien series, as I believe it paces the young student and builds a foundation on a musical and pedagogical level.
Vocally, I follow a classical technique, but use that foundation as a basis to meet the goals of the singer for the style they want to achieve.

Ethiopia has a proud and long history extending to the known beginnings of mankind. We know and focus on both the north and south of the country - two contrasting but equally fascinating regions. The northern part of the country includes some of the great civilisations of the ancient world such as Gondar, with its medieval castles and fairy tale palaces, and Lalibela with its extraordinary rock hewn churches. The stunning landscapes of the Simien Mountains are a trekkers delight as are the beautiful Monasteries on the islands of Lake Tana and in the Tigray region. Our Southern Ethiopia tours focus on the extraordinary tribes, landscapes and wild life along the Rift Valley. Ethiopia has an unusually large endemic bird population - a paradise for birders, and the many lakes and national parks have lovely lodges to relax and enjoy the views and sample the local cuisine and delicious coffee. The Islamic city of Harar in the east makes an interesting diversion with its cobbled mazes of alleyways and markets. Ethiopia is an extraordinary diverse and unique country with something for everyone - and thirteen months of sunshine guarantee warm weather at any time of the year.
Bale Mountains Nation Park (Bale is pronounced 'bali') is often over-looked in favour of the Simien Mountains in the north, but a new lodge means this beautiful region – home to 60% of the world's rarest carnivore, the Ethiopian wolf - is now firmly on the map. Read moreAdd to Ideas+
Northern Ethiopia is a treasure trove of historical capitals where religious customs from the Middle Ages continue to thrive in the Queen of Sheba's Axum, Lalibela with its 13th century rock-hewn churches, and Gondar, capital in the 17th and 18th centuries. Read moreAdd to Ideas+

The 'nocebo effect,' statins, and Dr. Ben Goldacre
I just recently became aware of a study that came out in March of this year which concluded that statins, drugs like Lipitor (atorvastatin) and Zocor (simvastatin), which people take, increasingly, to lower their cholesterol and their risk of heart disease, have NO SIDE EFFECTS. Here is a paper which explains the study. It is not possible to link to the actual study in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology because they want me to pay for it.
The paper says that, when comparing patients who took statins to ones who took an inactive pill, the side effects of both were about the same. That is called the "nocebo effect." Many people have heard about the "placebo effect" in which a sham treatment or sugar pill has a beneficial effect due, we think, to the fact that the subjects who receive it think it will work. Placebo, in Latin, means "I will please" and nocebo means "I will harm." So the researchers who wrote the paper about statins, after reviewing the data, found that patients who believed they would have side effects on statins did have side effects, whether or not they took the real drug. This is the nocebo effect. It implies that statins have no more side effects than sugar pills.
Now this would be really interesting if it were true. But it's not, so it's just really annoying. Patients who have received these drugs and physicians who prescribe them have noticed such a marked incidence of side effects, especially muscle weakness and pain, which resolve when the medicine is stopped, that any study questioning that finding is extremely suspect. When I heard about the article, I looked a bit further to see who had written it and what data they had looked at. I suspected that the study had been funded by pharmaceutical company lackeys using faulty data. It turns out I was only half right.
One of the major authors on the paper is a British physician named Ben Goldacre who is absolutely passionate about revealing the truth in scientific research and medicine, particularly in research done by unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies. He has founded a group, AllTrials, to promote honesty in reporting the results of clinical trials of medications. He actively publishes articles aimed at lay audiences about ways in which drug companies use skewed data to mislead the public about the safety and effectiveness of their drugs. He has written a book, Bad Pharma, about how the pharmaceutical industry distorts the truth to get patients to use their products. He is passionate about it and appears to be an excellent human being.
So what happened? Why did this guy who seems to be such a voice for truth write this paper? He explains it all quite entertainingly and in much more detail than I will here in his column "Bad Science." What happened is that he used very incomplete data about side effects from studies that were mostly performed and designed with drug company support to show that statins were safe and effective. They didn't even ask about many of the side effects that patients frequently complain about and they didn't evaluate for muscle weakness in patients unless their muscle enzymes were 10 times normal or more, which is extremely rare. Dr. Goldacre attempted to write a disclaimer to the effect that he believed his data was inadequate, but the paper had gone to press. Oops. The news that statins have no side effects was on front pages of newspapers. There must have been champagne opened in the spacious offices of the companies that produce these medications.
So we still need good unbiased data on the true side effects of statins, and that will be pretty difficult to get at this date. Statins are so commonly used that finding a cohort of patients who have never used them to participate in a double blind study to evaluate their short and long term side effects will be tough. There are several statins on the market, with different incidence of side effects based on their chemistry, and each would need to be tested. Different categories of patients have different side effects, and the side effects vary based on dosage. Most patients who are willing to take statins are already on them, since physicians love to prescribe them. Patients who don't want to take them probably also don't want to take them in a double blind fashion for a long period of time. We will probably have to settle for a re-examination of data which was collected but not released, if anyone has the time or energy to find and scrutinize that.

REO & Foreclosure Management
With moratoriums on foreclosure starting to expire in the region affected by Hurricane Katrina, lenders are preparing to move into uncharted territory. How do you respond to a catastrophe on such a broad scale that affects hundreds of thousands of homeowners?
That issue is a key one on the minds of servicers attending this year's MBA annual national mortgage servicing conference. But it's not the only reason lenders need to be mindful of default management and property disposition issues. As the regulatory environment becomes more restrictive, lenders are finding that their default management practices are under greater scrutiny. And with real estate markets starting to cool down in some areas, selling real estate-owned may become more challenging as well.
How lenders cope with what may be a rising foreclosure workload remains to be seen. But we're betting that technology will play a key role in helping lenders manage the tasks more efficiently than in the past. While default management remains a "high touch" part of the mortgage business, good systems and workflow are being employed to make this side of the business more productive than in the past, as well as to monitor results and ensure compliance.
So far, delinquency rates have remained relatively low by historical standards. But as the huge volume of loans originated in 2003 and 2004 continue to season, rates may start to rise. Add to that the impact of rising interest rates and the proliferation of new, some say "exotic" mortgage products, and you could have a recipe for higher defaults.
We hope that credit quality won't deteriorate in the mortgage sector. But any prudent lender wants to be prepared in case defaults do start to rise. And the time to start making preparations is before the you-know-what hits the fan.

Throated Laylah Diamond - Laylah the student whore
Laylah is the ultimate student and her best subjects are the ones where she gets to use her mouth. She has a great set of tits but tits aren't what we're about here. We're all about a beautiful throat! Laylah almost bottoms out on the very first stroke and that's when I knew we were dealing with a real ho-fessional. She works the pole like a stripper on payday taking his cock deep until it's knocking at her tonsils. Does she gag? A little. Does she stretch her throat like an anaconda to get all of his meat in. Most definitely!If she's got a throat we're fucking it!*Monique*

Calgary's travel demand forecasting model underwent a review by a panel of transport model experts in 2006 to answer three questions regarding: the appropriateness in of model design and functionality; application to projects; and maintenance and future model development.
The findings from the panel's review were extremely positive. The Panel members stated that Calgary has one of the most advanced trip-based models in North America. From a technical standpoint, Calgary's RTM is appropriate with respect to functionality, responsiveness to policy, number of zones, and internal consistency, and is well calibrated and validated. All of which the Panel noted should be viewed as a major success.
