By JAMES R. HAGERTYMay 10, 2008; Page A2Fannie Mae is preparing to introduce by midyear a program of refinancing mortgages for people who owe more than the current value of their homes, a situation known as being "underwater."The plan is the latest twist in efforts to contain the surge in foreclosures on homes in much of the U.S. It differs from a bill approved by the House on Thursday that would authorize the Federal Housing Administration to insure loans for distressed borrowers only after the lender has written down the principal -- something many lenders are reluctant to do. Fannie's refinance plan would result in new loans of equivalent size, leaving the borrower underwater but giving him or her a lower monthly payment or at least a fixed rate.

By RUTH SIMON and NICK TIMIRAOSMay 9, 2008; Page A3A major provision of the housing-market legislation passed by the House Thursday is getting a lukewarm reception from the mortgage industry.The measure, which is aimed at reducing foreclosures, would encourage mortgage companies to reduce the principal on troubled loans. In exchange, the Federal Housing Administration would pay off the current loan and issue the borrower a new FHA-backed mortgage. Struggling homeowners would get lower monthly payments to increase chances they could avoid foreclosure.
My mind—an undisciplined animal running amok---brings me little comfort. I need to lose my mind. I need to be set loose from my mind. I need to realize that I am not my mind. Not my mind? Lose my mind? Or perhaps loosen my mind?I feel sad that my mind has its way with me so much of the time. It roams freely—perhaps too freely---dragging me violently along, the way a child will pull a puppy down the sidewalk against its will.Sitting for five or ten minutes at a time is enough to give me pause, to realize the wild untamed nature of my mind.I need a retreat.

Why Obama's Fans Seemed Scarce As Things Got HotMay 5, 2008; Page A14Take it from an amateur who's been around the block a few times. The prominent Democrats deserting Barack Obama described in Daniel Henninger's "Where Were Obama's Friends?1" (Wonder Land, May 1) have one thing in common. They're all scared to death of the Clintons.When Sen. Obama looked like a winning hand, they thought they could finally escape another Clinton presidency with Bill running wild in the White House. Once the luster was off and Mr. Obama was less than a slam dunk, fear took over and the result was easy to predict.

The Clique movie has been mentioned in an article in The Providence Journal! In the fourth paragraph of the article, the Clique is summarized and it gives quotes from Steven Feinberg about the possibility of more Clique movies. Feinberg's older quotes hint at more Clique movies being made but, his newer quote "I don’t know" isn't so promising =/ Hopefully, though, The Clique will do well so that we can see all of the books in the series in movies! Anyways, you can read the full article here. It's pretty cool even though they got Lisi's name wrong and called her Isis Harrison.

Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn said he is preparing to take advantage of a "mass market" in electric vehicles he expects to emerge by 2012.Nissan, an alliance partner of Renault SA of France, will launch electric vehicles in the U.S. and Japan in 2010, and globally by 2012, Mr. Ghosn said at a Nissan event in Portugal. He said he expects the market for electric vehicles to grow strongly due to high oil prices, a new awareness of environmental issues and breakthroughs in battery technology.
By ALICIA MUNDYMay 2, 2008; Page A4WASHINGTON -- A top Food and Drug Administration official rebuffed calls by congressional Democrats to support their proposals for tougher regulations on imported drugs and new fees on drug makers, in the latest round of conflict between lawmakers and the administration over drug safety.Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, backed away from comments this week in which she seemed to acknowledge that the FDA needed an additional $225 million to beef up foreign inspections. Democrats on Thursday thanked her repeatedly for that earlier statement, which they have seized on as ammunition in support of their legislation.

Being Christian e-book publishers as well as the fact that we just celebrated the 'National Day of Prayer', we tend to get a lot of e-mail asking questions regarding prayer and the receiving of God's 'good things'. Unfortunately many people think that there must be some 'special methods' or 'tools' or even special words needed to get God's blessings! I'm saying it again here, that it just isn't so. No special words, phrases, methods or tools are needed to receive God’s blessings. One needs to understand that when they are feeling a 'bit strange' or a 'bit philosophical' even ‘serendipitous’ that it is okay and most times those feeling are to assist us in recognizing them as the 'Call To Prayer'. All one has to do is to simply answer 'The Call'. God wants us to receive all the best

Though it is a bit later in the month than I usually post these numbers, the Amusement Journal website has updated their February - March list for the top performing arcade games over the course of the last month. The survey is taken from a select group of arcades who are then polled and quizzed based on revenue earners and plays at the location.Tekken 6 sits pretty on the top of the list. I'm not expecting this to change much in either the Arcadia magazine list or future Amusement Journal reports. For all intents and purposes, the game has been performing at a level that I would assume at least meets the expectations with some sources (such as The Stinger Report) going as far as saying that it is breaking most expectations and exceeding even some previous tracking highs.

Today was the first weekday since we returned from vacation. While Mary went back to work, I did the things I needed to do, little of which involved making money. Picking up the car at the shop, a physical therapy session, shopping, banking, making copies, seeing a friend, walking the dog, making dinner---the day was full.Despite the fullness of the day, nagging voices in my head questioned my motives and my commitments. Why didn't I do more? Why wasn't I more productive? What more could be done?A few hours with a dear friend who lives at a Buddhist retreat center helped to quell those voices. My friend reminded me that I only stopped working full-time three months ago after twelve years of working forty hours a week. When I consider twelve years of work in one hand and three months of my

For those of you just tuning in, welcome to the Rose City Journal. For the many opinionated (and much beloved) readers of the Northern Kentucky News blog, this is where I landed: in Portland, Oregon, also known as the Rose City. I was going to go with “Rose City News” for the blog title but at the last moment I decided that “journal” better reflected the stuff I write about the most:While I write about locally-owned businesses, music, events and things to do, I also write a lot about the relationships that mean the most to us: our family, our friends and of course, our lovers. I’m a wide-eyed optimist who has a lot of innocence/angst, according to my friends, and a lot of curiosity about the many different people that I am lucky enough to meet, talk with and learn from.

Robert C. Janiszewski, the disgraced former Hudson County Executive who has spent the better part of the last three years in prison having admitted to taking $100,000 in bribes, will be released from a halfway house in Albany tomorrow, the Jersey Journal is reporting.Click here for the story.When Janiszewski was sentenced, his attorneys asked for leniency, since the former county exec turned evidence and testimony on others involved in the scandal. But the judge in the case himself turned a deaf ear, instead making his disgust of Janiszewski's actions clear while sentencing him to the maximum federal law allowed."To say that the citizens of New Jersey have become the laughingstock because of widespread corruption in politics is an understatement," federal Judge Joel Pisano said in 2005.

When we get to breakfast this morning, Neil is already at the table. I haven't had a chance to speak to him very much at school, but he is in all of Kenny's classes. We all greet each other with various levels of Spanish and Kenny and I begin to eat our fruit. Steaming Christmas mugs full of coffee show up in front of each of us. Merry Christmas! Neil tells everyone in Spanish, toasting in our general direction with a Frosty-the-Snowman mug. Chelo laughs and walks back to the kitchen. Oh Senora.....Neil calls out. I have been wanting the milk, please. Some of Neil's sentence constructions remind me of David Sedaris essays -- especially the one where he goes to the doctor in Paris. I immediately capitalize on Neil's request and pour some milk into my coffee. Chelo goes back into the

Journal writing is a powerful and useful technique... but many of us have major blocks when it comes to the thought of writing ... "I'm not a writer!"... "what would I write??"... "I don't know where to start!!"... "what do I say??"Does this sound familiar? These were a few thoughts running through my head when I first heard about the benefits of journal writing and contemplated giving it a go.Once I started my journal, it became addictive... in the very best sense!How to get started:• get yourself a large notebook, writing pad, diary, personal journal, or set yourself up with a folder on your computer, that is specifically where you will do your writing• you can hand write or use a computer. Handwriting is more flexible because you can do your journal writing wherever you want e.g. in
Kenny and I got up at about 0430 this morning in order to make a 0930 flight to Mexico City.

However, I can say things like: Please bring me a beer with some lime or I am going to start your IV now. Kenny's mastery of the language is limited to: Hello and I'm sorry.

I just discovered The Journal of Mythic Arts: News & Reviews published by the Endicott Studio, which is based out of Tucson. It's wonderful!

For any of us who grew up in Hudson County, present company included, the Jersey Journal was somewhat of a rite of passage each day. We couldn't go without reading it. Now, years and years later, what was once a reputable newspaper that covered Hudson County thoroughly is now a joke of a rag not even worthy of lining a bird cage.Whether it's Augie Torres' constant hypocritical editorials, his unwillingness to hear multiple sides of a story, his refusal to print any letters to the editor that slam him and the like, or whether it's putting the photo of a deceased baby on its cover a few years back, the Hudson County newspaper of record is now nothing short of a disgraceful bunch of crap put together, masked as "news," usually with the idea of unfairly targeting people for a laugh.Such was no

This morning's Wall Street Journal has a piece on the growth of EEOC pregnancy discrimination charges. According to the Journal:
Pregnancy-bias complaints recorded by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission surged 14% last year to 5,587, up 40% from a decade ago and the biggest annual increase in 13 years....
