What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!
I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?
Thanks for all his pictures! I've always liked him, such a charming actor with great potential.
Hi everyone I'm new around.
I just watched swordsman and fell in love with Lawrence so I was looking around the web for more info on him and found this forum
I think one of the reasons he was never big was because he had too many big star rivels in his generation. If he were in his twenties or thirties now, I believe he would be BIG! But anyhow he left an unforgettable impression on me in swordsman. I watched the swordsman because of Damian but I ended up enjoying Lawrence instead, although I still do like Damian.
If anyone has more info on him please keep this thread going!! And thanks so much for starting this thread in the first place.

i really like him too!
i luv c~H~a~R~m~A~i~N~e
I love Lawrence. I love him best in The Swordsman (1997). He's very talented in playing such interchangeable roles there, really full of surprises from beginning to end. He plays the villain in the series but he really outshined the lead role for me in turns of appearance, sharp minded, and control. Found this clip from the series.
Ah finally found him. He was one of my most favorite actors from the 90's. I remember watching him in The Swordsman and he really stole the show. Damien Lau was great, but just a bit too old to play a 20 year old.
The more I read Liu Xing Hu Die Jian, I more I realize that The Swordsman was a very loosely adapted version of this novel. What a pity. The show itself had a really strong cast, but too bad the story was really whack towards the end.
I just love how you Captivate My Mind
Self reminder - Update blog more often and continue editing/writing for TOV fanfic.
Does anyone know what he is up to now? So sad he gets very small roles in TVB series.

In Michigan, residents and non-residents can apply for a marriage license in a county clerk's office if they fulfill the state's statutory requirements. If you want to change your name to your spouse's name or hyphenate your name, you must wait until the county clerk issues a marriage license.
Step 1
Request a certified copy of your marriage license from the county clerk's office in the jurisdiction where you were married. The court charges a fee for this service.
Step 2
Take the marriage license to the local branch of the Michigan Department of State to get a replacement driver's license or state ID card with your new name. If you only have a few months left before your license expires, you may renew it when you apply for the replacement. There is a fee to get a new license.
Step 3
Take your marriage license along with a government-issued photo ID such as your driver's license to the local Social Security Administration office to apply for a replacement Social Security Card. You can download the SSA name-change form online and fill it out before arriving at the SSA office. There is no fee for this service. Your new card should arrive within 10 business days.
Step 4
Contact your bank, insurance company and other businesses to find out how to get your name changed on your accounts.
Step 5
If you were previously married, you must provide the county clerk with proof of your divorce in order to apply for a marriage license.

A lot of work has been done over the years to nail down the origins of life, with much speculation given to whatever first bit of "life" appeared from what was before, nothing but non-living material. Unfortunately, evidence of such life has long vanished leaving researchers to try to piece together what might have happened afterwards by rewinding the genetic tape so to speak.

Povetkin annihilates Rahman
By Karl Freitag
Photos: Photo Wende
In a horrible mismatch, WBA "regular" heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin (25-0, 17 KOs) scored an easy second round TKO over badly faded 39-year-old mandatory challenger Hasim Rahman (50-8-2, 41 KOs) on Saturday night at the Alsterdorf Sporthalle in Hamburg, Germany. Povetkin rocked Rahman in the second then teed off at will until referee Gustavo Padilla waved it off. Time was 1:46. "The Rock" was never in the fight.
European heavyweight champion Kubrat Pulev (17-0, 9 KOs) scored an impressive eleventh round TKO over previously unbeaten 6'8 305lb Alexander Ustinov (27-1, 21 KOs). Pulev was mostly in command, but Ustinov had his moments. Pulev finally battered Ustimov to a knee for the count in the eleventh. Time was 1:28.
In a jr middleweight clash, unbeaten former amateur world champion "Golden Jack" Culcay (13-0, 9 KOs) scored an unpopular fifth round TKO over Mark Thompson (24-2, 14 KOs). Culcay ended a competitive fight by unleashing a barrage of punches that prompted referee Leszek Jankowiak to quickly wave it off even though Thompson seemed OK to continue. Time was 2:48.
Other results:
Reda Zam Zam W6 Ciro Ciano (jr middleweight)
David Graf W6 Martin Grainier (cruiserweight)
Erico Koelling W6 Pablo Sosa (light heavyweight)

As Andean condors decline, tradition draws critics
By Mitra Taj
LIMA (Reuters) - Strapping a giant condor to the back of a raging bull is a central part of an Andean festival celebrated in Peru but some people worried about the endangered vulture's future say it is time to ban the tradition.
A bill introduced to Congress this month aims to slow what scientists and ecologists describe as a worrisome drop-off in Peru's population of the Andean Condor, one of the world's biggest flying birds.
Condors, which use their 10-foot (3-meter) wingspan to ride rising warm air currents for hours without stopping, have been a prominent part of culture in the Andes for millennia.
The bill, presented by a legislator and backed by local officials in a province famous for its condors, would start a conservation program, declare the condor a national treasure and set jail sentences of 3-5 years for capturing or killing the birds.
It specifically targets the traditional "yawar" festival although there are no definitive statistics or scientific evidence on whether condors are hurt by the celebrations.
In an Andean twist on Spanish bull fighting, the ritual involves tying a condor, representing indigenous people, to the back of a wild bull, representing colonists.
Though it is too early to say if the measure will pass Congress, it will likely generate controversy over whether protecting the condor should trump the distinctive Peruvian tradition that supporters say pays homage to it.
At yawar festivals, held each year in an estimated two to three dozen towns in Peru's southern Andes, townspeople take turns running in front of a bull enraged by the condor clawing into its back. Continued...

London (CNSNews.com) - Britain was on alert Monday for terrorist attacks after a car bomb exploded outside BBC television studios in London Sunday.
Anti-terrorist police officers have warned that further bombings are likely. Police believe the bomb, planted in an old London taxi cab that was bought shortly beforehand, was the work of the dissident Irish republican group, the Real IRA, which rejects the Northern Ireland peace process.
Following warning calls, the area had been evacuated and police were at the scene when the bomb exploded. Only one man, a railway worker, was hurt.
Police are linking the bombing to three unsolved blasts in the capital last year, including the firing of a mortar at the headquarters of the MI6 foreign intelligence service.
One possible motive for the attack was the fact the BBC recently broadcast a documentary naming possible suspects in the Real IRA's bomb attack on the Northern Ireland town of Omagh in 1998, in which 29 people were killed.
Northern Ireland First Minister David Trimble speculated that the blast could have been carried out in London because terrorists had failed in recent attempts to perpetrate spectacular attacks in the province itself.
"It is quite clear we are dealing with terrorists prepared to use ruthless tactics without any care for the consequences," said Anti-Terrorist Branch head Alan Fry. "I fear we will see more attacks in the coming days and weeks and it is vital that the public are vigilant."
Home Secretary Jack Straw said the bomb could have resulted in serious loss of life. It was important the attack not be allowed to disrupt the Good Friday peace agreement, he said.
The peace process remains troubled, however. Pro-British unionists have just announced sanctions against the Irish republican Sinn Fein with whom they share power in a Northern Ireland Assembly, because of the Sinn Fein-affiliated IRA's failure to disarm.
UK politicians across the spectrum condemned the attack. Conservative Party spokesman on Northern Ireland, Andrew Mackay, said the blast should be a warning against a reduction of the British security presence in Northern Ireland.
He added that, with the IRA and other paramilitary groups' failure to disarm, militants like those in the Real IRA could easily get their hands on weapons and explosives.
Alex Maskey, a Sinn Fein member of the Northern Ireland Assembly, condemned the bombing, and said Sinn Fein had "consistently called on this micro-group not only to stop their activities but indeed to disband."

Panetta has no business telling freedom loving Americans what they may or mat not need for personal protection, hunting or for target shooting. Out of all the U.SConstitution Amendments it is only the 2nd Admendment that gives us the right to self preservation.
Obama wants to take our guns away even though he says he doesn`t. That is why he supports the UN`s world disarmament to ban all privately owned weapons.
Anyone who registers their weapons with the government is a fool and setting themselves up for weapon consfication as they will know where they are when it`s time to get them.
New York Democrat Gov.Cumo came out last week stating that he favors gun confiscation, some say that he`s planning a future run for President.
Keep in mind that Hitler conficated guns before world war 2 so he`d limit his opposition to taking over the world. Poland, Czeklavokia, Russia and others had gun confiscation before they were all forced to Communism.
Remember it was Russian President Gorbechov who told President Regan that we would never invade the U.S. because you will be destroyed from within. His predictions seem to be bearing fruit as the obama administration is doing it`s best to destroy over 200 years of freedom and liberty.
We are of a few nations on earth who has never been attacked by anothers military on our own soil due to the fact that we are the most armed nation in the world and others who would wish us harm are of the belief that it wouldn`t just be our military but the civilian population that they would be fighting as well. We must not allow the politicians to destroy our edge against our enemies.

The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "Forward" — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism . . . Conservative critics of the Obama administration have noted numerous ties to radicalism and socialists throughout Mr. Obama's history, from his first political campaign being launched from the living room of two former Weather Underground members, to appointing as green jobs czar Van Jones, a self-described communist.
This is just becoming way too easy. Read the piece here.

R. Alexander Acosta became the second dean of the College of Law at Florida International University in 2009. A native of Miami and first-generation lawyer, Dean Acosta earned his undergraduate degree from Harvard College and his law degree from Harvard Law School. After serving as law clerk to Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., then a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, Dean Acosta practiced law at the firm of Kirkland & Ellis and taught law at the George Mason School of Law.
Dean Acosta has served in three presidentially-appointed, senate-confirmed positions. He was a member of the National Labor Relations Board, where he participated in or authored more than 125 opinions. He went on to be the first Hispanic to hold the rank of Assistant Attorney General. Most recently, Dean Acosta served as the U.S. Attorney for Southern District of Florida, and was the longest serving U.S. Attorney in the District since the 1970s.
While Dean Acosta served as U.S. Attorney, the Southern District prosecuted a number of high-profile defendants, including Jack Abramoff for fraud, Jose Padilla for terrorism, Charles "Chuckie" Taylor Jr. for torture, (the first torture case of its kind in the U.S.), and the Cali Cartel founders Miguel and Gilberto Rodriquez-Orejuela for the importation of 200,000 kilos of cocaine, which resulted in a $2.1 billion forfeiture. The District also targeted white collar crime, prosecuting several bank-related cases, including one against Swiss Bank UBS. The case resulted in UBS paying $780 million in fines, and for the first time in history, the bank provided the United States with the names of individuals who were using secret Swiss bank accounts to avoid U.S. taxes. Under Dean Acosta's leadership, the District also focused on health care fraud and because the top district in the nation in health care fraud prosecution, charged more than 700 individuals responsible for more than $2 billion in fraud.
Dean Acosta has twice been named one of the nation's 50 most influential Hispanics by Hispanic Business Magazine. He was named to the list of 100 most influential individuals in business ethics in 2008. He serves on the Florida Innocence Commission, on the Florida Supreme Court's Commission on Professionalism, on the American Bar Association's Commission for Hispanic Rights and Responsibilities, and on the American Bar Association's Council for Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Education Pipeline.

At Sebastian Mariscal's age, many young architects and designers are still struggling to find their sea legs. They're chasing small remodeling jobs, hoping to build a track record of success that will bring larger commissions in the future. But while they're treading water in their fledgling practices, Mariscal is sailing full speed ahead.
A designer, builder, and developer of boutique projects and custom homes in San Diego, the 37-year-old Mariscal oversees a thriving firm with a growing body of impressive work. Instantly recognizable, his buildings stress function and simplicity while exuding an understated luxury in their stainless steel, ipe, and limestone sheathing. For his efforts, he's amassed a string of local AIA citations and garnered a 2003 Home of the Year Award from Architecture magazine.
Mariscal's success has spawned a comfortable—if hectic—life. He, his wife, Maricarmen, and their two young children live in a hillside house overlooking the Pacific Ocean in tony La Jolla, Calif. He zips around town in a Mini Cooper or on a Vespa scooter, and the commute to his office in Sorrento Valley is a mere 12-minute drive on I–5. These days, he juggles his time visiting clients in Mexico, managing his local projects and 12-person firm, and teaching a master's in development class at Woodbury University's satellite campus. Gregarious and well-mannered, Mariscal's restless ambition brims right below the surface. Despite his already notable accomplishments, he is driven to constantly reinvent himself and his work. "He has a tremendous energy and is just fearless," says Mariscal's friend and mentor, Jonathan Segal, FAIA. It's a boldness that traces back to his early years south of the border.
mexico way Born in Mexico City, Mariscal was introduced to the design profession by his father, Raúl Octavio Mariscal, a local architect and developer of affordable housing. In 1985, while his teenage chums played soccer and fretted about their social lives, he was in his father's office perfecting his AutoCAD skills and learning about the manipulation of space and light. "I always wanted to be an architect when I was a kid," he says. "I was very involved in [my father's] architecture and went to his jobsites on the weekends."
The younger Mariscal moonlighted for his father through high school and during his first semester at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, but he was anxious to forge his own path in design/build. So in 1988, at the precocious age of 18, he launched his own firm while still in architecture school. Not surprisingly, work came slowly for the new practice. But a successful ranch remodel for a neighbor launched a string of other residential and commercial projects, including several office buildings and a television transfer station. "I had a firm of six to eight people, and I was very busy and productive," Mariscal says. However, with professional success came frustration with the pace of his studies and the school's concentration on theoretical projects that would never get built, he says. So he quit school to concentrate on his practice full time. "My passion was to design and to build," he explains.
By 1995, with an impressive 17 buildings under his belt but hungering for a broader world view, Mariscal shuttered his practice and moved to Barcelona, Spain. He found work with Spanish modernist Tonet Sunyer and studied theory and construction at the School of Architecture of Barcelona. "I felt I needed to be exposed to new experiences and learning in Europe," he says. "I was starting to feel too comfortable, I guess. I was 25 years old, so the timing was perfect." After two years, he packed up again and headed west to California, where he landed a job with Segal's eponymous San Diego firm.
california dreamin' Mariscal couldn't have picked a better mentor than Segal, whom many consider the most important architect/developer in the city. From Segal, he learned the essential elements of developing—finding a partner, acquiring land, securing financing, and dealing with the powerful non-profit Centre City Development Corp., which has a say in all construction projects downtown. While working with Segal, Mariscal completed his first San Diego project—State and Date, two single-family houses that would also serve as his residence. He picked up its 1,550-square-foot corner lot for $200,000, and with little to spend on hard costs, he wrapped the 2,750-square-foot live/work units in stainless steel and redwood, establishing his trademark palette of lush materials. Because he had little time or money to spare for the project, he devised a resourceful system to speed construction. He rented an adjacent lot and then ordered precut lumber to prefabricate the walls while foundation work was under way on the building site. "We built the two units from start to finish in four months," which saved money on interest payments and labor, Mariscal says.

|Confused about get_slice SliceRange behavior with bloom filter
|Sun, 13 Feb 2011 06:37:13 GMT
I've gotten myself really confused by http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ArchitectureInternals and am hoping someone can help me understand what the io behavior of this operation would be. When I do a get_slice for a column range, will it seek to every SSTable? I had thought that it would use the bloom filter on the row key so that it would only do a seek to SSTables that have a very high probability of containing columns for that row. In the linked doc above, it seems to say that it is only used for exact column names. Am I misunderstanding this? On a related note, if instead of using a SliceRange I provide an explicit list of columns, will I have to read all SSTables that have values for the columns, or is it smart enough to stop after finding a value from the most recent SSTable? ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?

The Football Association's strategy for securing the 2018 World Cup was undermined yesterday by Fifa's president, Sepp Blatter, who cast doubt on England's prospects within hours of his re-election.
With a decision on how future tournaments are awarded due in November, the FA's strategy is to lobby for an end to the current rotation system, under which the World Cup would not come back to Europe until 2026, in favour of a system that ensures every third tournament is staged in Europe. The strategy has considerable support from leading figures including Danny Jordaan, the chairman of the South Africa 2010 organising committee, not least because the majority of the game's revenue is generated in Europe.
Blatter rejected the idea. "My opinion is that there should be a rotation of the World Cup," he said. "If there is rotation it should be a total rotation and not go back to Europe every third time. Why should it? Our partners do not care where the tournament is held . . . and with all respect to Europe, which is a powerful football continent, I am not sure they are as powerful as all regions."
His stance poses the first test of Geoff Thompson's new role as a Fifa vice-president. The position potentially gives the FA chairman great influence and England an advantage, but overturning the will of a president emboldened by re-election will not be easy. Fifa's executive committee will vote on the issue in November.
Exorcism on cards
Blatter's unopposed re-election concluded a Fifa congress which more closely resembled a rally than a forum for debate. There was little significant business on the agenda and not a single question came from the 204 national associations in attendance, allowing Blatter to cast the victory as a personal triumph over persistent allegations of corruption. He pledged to fight "the four devils" of corruption, doping, gambling and racism but brushed aside concern about the current federal court case in the US, brought by Mastercard against Fifa for breaching an exclusive-renegotiation period to open sponsorship talks with Visa. "It will cost us a pretty penny but don't worry, you'll get the money back somehow," he told delegates. "Some people say that to win without danger is to triumph without glory, but I don't necessarily agree with that."
Outsized blazer of glory
Thompson's elevation to the Fifa vice-presidency was secured only after the Welsh FA brokered a deal between the FA chairman and Jim Boyce, his Northern Irish counterpart. Both men were desperate to succeed John McBeth, the Scot who was withdrawn after making racist comments about Caribbean and African football, but even after being left alone in a hotel room to settle their differences neither would agree to step aside for the other. It took an intervention from the FAW's president, Peter Rees, who proposed that Boyce succeed Thompson, to break the deadlock. The haste with which the deal was done was demonstrated by the borrowed Fifa blazer Thompson was wearing when he was formally inducted into the post yesterday. The jacket was at least two sizes too big, having been dug out in a hurry by Fifa staff on Wednesday night.
Agents under fire
Perhaps the most significant issue approved by Fifa's congress was a tightening of existing regulations on agents that would see commissions capped below 10%. Proposals passed to the executive committee suggest limiting agents' fees to as little as 3% and regularly reviewing their licences.
All aboard gravy plane
Flights from Zurich to London today will be full of Fifa delegates taking up the FA's invitation to watch England take on Brazil at Wembley this evening. As well as guests from as far afield as the Cayman Islands, 12 members of the executive committee, including Uefa's president, Michel Platini, are going to the game, a clear indication that the new stadium will be an important asset in the FA's lobbying for the 2018 World Cup.

Hey guys! Could you give me some good advices on how to practice and learn the pen tool? Maybe some good course or something? How did u learn it?
I hate to say it, but the only way to learn it, is to do it. It is clunky and a little counter-intuitive at first. but just keep at it. Practice, practice, practice. There are hundreds of online tutorials. Use the google machine.

ST will b my weekend home so peak hours jam will nt affect/bother me at all. Moreover I prefer using 1st link rather than 2nd link. So far, when I use the 1st link back to spore, kenna jam at most 1 to 1 1/2 hour. Using 2nd link, I ever kenna stuck in the jam for 3hours plus!
If u live in tampines/pasir ris/Punggol, will u prefer to use 1st or 2nd link?
Hmm is this a new development?
i am going down to their sale office to know more about the resort, the twin villa 40X85ft.
It has got high ceiling and i like it. Price from 1.6m but i think got discount of 200K like move in bonus like that.
What do you guys think? Good bor?

For our first non-administrative post, we're going to highlight some of the community's reactions to Dead Space 3. In the Community Podcast Unlocked Facebook group, we've begun to select one title each month to be our "Game of the Month", and encourage people to play and talk about the different aspects of the game in-depth. February's Game of the Month was Dead Space 3, and we've collected a number of reactions posts to the group people had to different aspects of the game below.
SPOILER WARNER: These comments are unfiltered for spoilers, if you have not completed the game yet, read at your own risk.
The Beard-In-Chief enjoyed Dead Space 3
In regards to Dead Space 3 proper:
Posted by Anthony (BiggTonyStyle): "Only played a couple hours so far, so far so good. Still feels like classic dead space, the weapon crafting is a fresh new change." Posted by Kyle: "I'm almost done the campaign, definitely the weakest of the dead space games, but that doesn't mean its bad IMO, just a lot different. Seems very much like the route RE5 took the RE franchise in. More action oriented, so you lose the scare factor. But its fun in its own regards. Story is pretty lackluster though. I personally felt the whole love triangle fell flat, felt shoehorned into the story."
Posted by Tim: "Man I think the story is cool! The whole finding the origin, the tension between Isaac and Norton, and Carvers demons make such good additions."
Posted by Mitch (Mitchy_D): "Danick is, more than Tiedmann, Kendra, or any other DS villain, a cheesier sort of action movie bad guy. He's scarily motivated but rarely around enough to show substance beyond his drive to kill."
Posted by Gary: "So I beat DS2 and its great and I love it. But DS3 man, I'm about halfway through I think. I'm collecting uh...parts. And I found the game really boring until I got to the snow. It wasn't bad by any means, but it was just boring. AND I DON'T LIKE ALL THE BACKTRACKING. I DO NOT ENJOY IT."
Dead Space 3 features some fun zero-g sequences
In regards to the Story/ Drama:
Posted by Tim: "[On the love triangle in the game] I thought that it was kind of weird that and stupid at the same time. I understand Isaac is hurting but god damn it Clarke there are a shitload of monsters everywhere and the impending doom of the universe worry about the girl later. Also how predictable was the fact everyone was going to die."
Posted by Darien: "Though [the story was] poorly done, I'm glad it kinda went there and fleshed out these characters a little more. The one thing I really noticed and loved was that they used mocap for the cutscenes, so it all looked pretty natural."
In regards to the Co-op:
Posted by Jimmy (Seppala): "I played it co-op. Both me and my friend didn't enjoy it that much. Some co-op stuff they did was cool but I think the game would have benefited if it really was built around it instead of it being optional. Having crazy stuff happen to both players where one or the other can't see what's going on for each other instead of just the co-op missions."
Posted by Nick (NickisNixed): "I really enjoyed playing through on co-op on hard. I think hard is the best balanced difficulty, which is a mistake as it should be normal. Also I think the game greatly benefited from co-op and would have been much less enjoyable alone."
Posted by Matthew: "I've a great time being surprised by necros and then yelling at my friend. It's a really fun coop experience, but not good at survival horror. Single player is good, but not much tension there."
Posted by Max: "A big problem with the co-op is that the series has always focused on immersion via unbroken perspective (your camera is basically always behind Isaac, with very little cuts in the entire game). The way they implemented co-op causes constant jump cuts and perspective changes, because whenever one of you triggers a scripted event, their perspective overrides both players; it's pretty jarring and goofy. On top of that some cutscenes don't even make sense anymore: the end of the prologue, what happens to player 2? Jumping from the train to the ship in chapter 1, how did Carver get up there to rescue you? Etc."
The cooperative play adds something new.
In regards to Microtransactions:
Posted by John: "As long as they're unobtrusive and unnecessary, I'm perfectly fine with the microtransactions. The microtransactions in DS3 and ME3 are basically just weapon packs, so I don't really see everyone's problem with it."
Posted by Max: "The dead space 3 microtransactions are so unobtrusive I don't see how anyone would have a problem. theres even an abundant in-game currency (ration seals) SPECIFICALLY used for acquiring the DLC resource packs without spending money. comparing it to F2P games like tribes and blacklight is a bit unfair and odd, in Dead Space 3 its really used more as a last ditch fail safe (which isn't even really relevant as the game floods you with resources and checkpoints)."
Posted by Joseph (JangoFett25): "Whether you like it or not, micro transactions are here to stay. It depends on us, as gamers, to shape how we want them to be implemented in the games we play. I for one like how EA has handled them in the two games I've played where they've been offered: Mass Effect 3 and Dead Space 3. Therefore, I will continue to support this method in hopes that other developers, who want to offer micro transactions, follow suit. I'm completely fine with people not liking it, and bringing up valid arguments as to how/why it could be/become bad. What distresses me are people who rush to judgment before knowing how something is implemented. Talking about the said "idea" is perfectly valid, but I don't see how one can negatively judge the particular execution of said idea without having tried it out, or perhaps watching it in action."
The game relies on set-pieces more than ever.
Well that's what we had to say about the game, what about you? Feel free to leave any reactions you had in the comments below, and keep an eye out for when we announce March's Game of the Month.
Shout-out to B for being a badass dude and doing most of the legwork for this post.

No Place Like HomeStreet
HomeStreet (HMST), a regional bank in the Pacific Northwest, was one of the best-performing small-cap stocks in 2012. This bank had benefitted from the refinance boom brought on by low interest rates and government programs allowing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-backed mortgage holders to refinance, even if they had little to no home equity.
As you might guess, HomeStreet has been punished by rising interest rates and the subsequent decline in refinancing volume over the last few months. Since March of this year, HomeStreet has fallen to $19.30 from around $25 per share -- a drop of almost 23%....407 more words left in this article.
