With little economic news to influence trading and despite a late-Friday afternoon spike, mortgage rates edged lower last week.
Two weeks ago, when it lowered the Fed Funds Rate by a quarter-percent, the Federal Reserve noted two things:
The economy was stabilizing
High energy costs threatened inflation
In the days that followed, though, the U.S. dollar strengthened and crude oil prices fel

Mortgage markets lost ground last week on inflation concerns and a general feeling that "the worst may be over" on Wall Street.
As investors moved money into the stock market, mortgage rates ticked higher for the second straight week.
The biggest story from last week was the rising cost of gasoline.
Rising energy costs combined with rising food prices are creating worries about the American consumer's ability to spur the economy forward.
That sets up the biggest story of this week -- the Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
The FOMC starts a 2-day meeting Tuesday and is widely expected to lower the Fed Funds Rate by 0.250 percent at its adjournment.
Cuts to the Fed Funds Rate are meant to promote growth in the economy by decreasing borrowing costs for
The S&P 500 added 4.3 percent last week -- more than during all of 2007 -- in what was a good week for the economy and a bad week for mortgage rate shoppers.
After Friday's close, mortgage rates were higher by as much as 0.375% versus the Friday prior. This reversed a trend of falling rates for Americans.
In recent weeks, mortgage rates had been falling as investors fled risky stocks and parked their money in the bond markets.
A trading pattern such as this one is sometimes called "Flight to Quality" and it creates a high demand for all types of bonds. When bond demand is high, bond prices increase and that drives bonds' relative rates of return down.
Over this past week, however, the Flight to Quality unwound.
Investors saw opportunities f
Through 5 days of see-saw trading, mortgage rates ended last week relatively flat; the downward tick into Friday's close was a boon for home buyers this past weekend.
It may be short-lived, however.
Oil continues to sit near all-time highs and a slew of inflation-related data is crossing the wires this week.
When inflation pressures are high, mortgage rates rise.
The first piece of data is Retail Sales for March and it hits Monday at 8:30 A.M. ET.
Traders pay close attention to Retail Sales because consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of the economy. If sales growth is negative, it's unlikely that Americans will spend the economy out of its weakness.
That should bode well for mortgage rates because a sluggish economy can combat some forms of inflation.
Next, on
Mortgage loan rates edged lower last week, buoyed by a weak employment report for March. After shedding 80,000 jobs last month, the number of working Americans is lower by 232,000 so far this year. Many pundits are claiming these figures are proof of a U.S. economic recession but it's important to keep the data in perspective. According to the government, there are 153 million people in the workforce. The 232,000 terminated workers, therefore, represent a fractional 0.15 percent of the workforce. This is a very small percentage. This week, there isn't much new data for markets to digest but we'll want to keep an eye on some important events. The first is Monday's Consumer Credit report.

Sunday again and there was lots to do at home. Maya breathed a sigh of relief and sat down warily on the couch. Today was cleaning day and since their family was on a holiday last weekend, she would have to do loads of work today. Mumbling circumspectly to herself, Maya got to work. She started with the old cupboard which contained hoards of items and could pop up old surprises, at any moment. She saw an old radio which was in the shape of a small square box with an even smaller dial at one end which produced strange gurgling noises when turned. Lifting an eyebrow, Maya looked beyond. There was the doll that Mini, her daughter, had been given when she was nine. Now she was 15 and didn’t need it so it lay abandoned……with one eye popping out and her dresses worn and torn.
fewer and fewer evangelical Christians will be attracted to the mood of angry nostalgia for a lost golden Christian America that has so often characterized the evangelical public voice[…]. - David GusheeReligion Dispatches has posted a summary of a panel discussion with scholar David Gushee on the shifting political landscape of evangelical America.

Essentially, party loyalty is fading as people are willingly step away from the rhetoric of the power mongers and express the nuances of their own thinking.

Mortgage rates were up last week on weak housing data and a growing nervousness about mortgage bond quality.
Rates would have been up more if not for a tame inflation reading Friday.
The Personal Consumption Expenditures report fell Friday to 2.0% year-over-year, putting it back within the Federal Reserve's comfort zone of 1-2 percent.
PCE is the Fed's preferred inflation gauge and with inflation in check, Ben Bernanke & Co. can focus on other elements of the economy such as housing and employment.
Mortgage rates figure to be volatile (again) this week.
The first major event to strike markets is today's release of a 200-page, government-written plan outlining sweeping reforms for the financial industry.

I have been tagged by a friend of mine, Jenny. Thanks friend for sharing this with me. Now it's my turn to reminisce the day when I was I was still in high school, way back 2000. THINK BACK TO 4th year high school... Let's see how much you remember and how much you regret.. What section were you?>I am in the first section. Section Quezon.

From the Big Book of AA, Page 275: " In learning to practice these stages in my daily living, I began to acquire faith and a philosophy to live by....in time I found myself looking forward to each new day with pleasurable anticipation..... A. A. is not a plan for recovery that can be finished and done with. It is a way of life, and the challenge contained in its principles is great enough to keep any human being striving for as long as he lives.....". I was just thinking yesterday about what my life used to be like- how every challenge became a crises that threw me into a whirlwind of worry and action; how I didn't really want to get up in the mornings, and felt pretty useless, and how what I most looked forward to was acting out,and hated those who got in my way of doing so.I have gained

So how has 2007 been for Vista ? And what what should a Vista user expect in 2008 from Microsoft ? Microsoft has also promised exciting news on the horizon, for Windows Vista Ultimate users. So stay tuned!
How I am amaze by these new tech coming up in the market today. First, we have a computer at home which was requested by my children to aid with their homework. I was also the busy user of computer and because of my typing skill I easily adapted myself into it, then after a few years my eldest daughter signed up for internet connection following her going abroad. My curiosity to try everything new has paved my way through the intricacies of internet, surfing opportunities and e-mailing were for my self-exploration then soon I was into blogging. My blogging experience for the past five months was really a go-go not bad after all, considering my newbie in everything. I’m just happy to see my blog taking off , steadily gaining knowledge from other experienced bloggers and inter
I will remember 2007 as the year of food, travel and (of course) blogging! The year began at Bali, where my family and I had a truly magical time. Then came Japan which was a gourmet's delight. The vacation at the African Kingdom Lodge in Orlando Florida was another fantastic family experience. As was our vacation to Switzerland and England later in the year. In addition to all this, I made several business trips to the USA, and as you can expect, indulged in a variety of culinary delights that the Bay Area has to offer.I continue to build bonds with old blog-friends even as I make new ones. Thank you Sank, Sig, Sandeepa, Foodette, Zhu, Renny, Anil, Vishal, Bee, Hari, Backpakkar and Indicaspecies for being regular readers of my blog over these months and commenting on my posts.

Apart from the bad things, its been a good year. The powdery white rapest is still in the sky (the moon - who once saw partic moor do a shit on this salad), and I wanted to relive a few posts so today is “T’was a sad day”
“It had always made me laugh the way people would say "t'was a sad day", I never knew the reason behind missing out a I in a sentence at all, but hell that was just me.
Then the day had come, I knew that death was creeping in the shadows waiting for the right moment in time to change my life forever. T'was really a sad day, a day which shook the foundation of my very life.
But to explain this, I must go back to the start… 3 years ago… when I was young and foolish. Was the time when everything looked bright and nothing could go wrong in this wonderful world.

I can’t believe that it has already been a year already.
A year has passed from the day that my baby was born, into our hands, in a pool in the living room of our house. A birth attended only by his father and his brothers.
An experience that was not only exhilarating, empowering but also healing for myself.
My choice to have an unassisted pregnancy and an unassisted birth was first due to the lack of midwifery access. There are no birthing centres in my region and midwifes are not allowed to practise out side of them. The birthing centres that are out of region do not take women out of region because they are too much in demand. It was a decision that was first made for me since there was no way that I would ever go see a doctor for a pregnancy or a birth. The decision did not scare me…. instead I felt relief.
I knew that having a UP/UC was the best choice.
Now… I look back at the pregnancy. There was so much less stress being unassisted. No appointments, no refusi

Yesterday I wrote my 100th post through PayPerPost. I was hoping to save it for the announced name change to Izea, but apparently they weren’t excited enough about that change to offer a posting opportunity for it.
My first PPP opportunity was Trickle Down Poverty? written on July 16, 2007, though I couldn’t actually get it submitted to their system until July 31st as I was still going through the acceptance process. 100 posts in 104 days, not a bad average. My total earnings thus far are $977.27 or $9.77 per post on average. With each opportunity taking me 15 to 30 minutes to write that’s not bad money at all. And how many online earning opportunities allow you to make $9.40 per day without referrals and doing essentially what you’d be doing anyway? (That’s a serious question! If you know of any please contact me!)
The top earner at PPP has earned $17,898.82 as of this writing, and the 10th highest earner has made $10,903.01. Both of these people
Throughout the off-season, I'm going to take a look at what I have said during the course of season and some predictions I made before play started in 2007.Today, it's the AL East's Turn as I did the AL West several weeks ago...Boston Red Sox (96-66), World Champions: This is what I said: After a season of spending a few bucks to strengthen the team, New England and Red Sox Nation will be waiting for the 2007 season with great anxiety and anticipation. It’s a forgone conclusion with the additions and the mainstays that the team will be competitive and Fenway will be rocking for Ortiz’s exploits and dancing when “Sweet Caroline” blazes.Will this season get them into the playoffs and more importantly, dethrone the hated New York Yankees from supremacy in the American League East? Will the disappointment of 2006 end up in 2007 to be another 2004?Only time will tell. My Take Now: As we all know, the Red Sox took it at all in 2007 and it was no surprise; however, I did not have t

I was going to do a general roundup of what I said about the AL East before the season today, but with the Orioles' organization being in so much flux, I am going to look back only on what I predicted about the Birds of Baltimore.Here's what I said:In the end, the Orioles need to decide whether they want to compete or rebuild. On paper, they look slightly better than what their 70-92 record indicates, but in my eyes, it looked like a lot of the players were not trying and accepted the way things were.However, I think we are quite a bit away from contending, but if all goes well a .500 record is attainable. There needs to be a plan with the organization, whether to rebuild around Tejada, and get the bats we need, or perhaps consider trading our strongest chips, outside Bedard, Cabrera, Markakis and Loewen and see if we can get young talent under our control to compete perhaps in ’09 or ’10. The team looks to be greatly improved on paper, but as of now, we are nowhere near the Yank
Throughout the off-season, I'm going to take a look at what I have said during the course of season and some predictions I made before play started in 2007.Well, I am going to start off with the American League West.First, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim:What I said: "If the Angels pitching and their offense come together, then they could possibly win the AL West and find themselves in the playoffs. Southern California has two potential playoff contenders in the Angels and the Dodgers, and in the end, the Halos led by Guerrero, Lackey, Weaver, and company could make 2007 a year to remember in that part of the region."Prediction: Dead On.***Second, the Seattle Mariners:What I said: "The Mariners play in a competitive American League West and it may be hard for the team to move up in 2007 in light of the additions made. The team has made a number of changes to attempt to get more competitive, but it looks like the Mariners may remain where they are unless the pitching rotation steps u

The blessed month of Ramadan, the month of fasting is winding to a close while we enter the final ten days of the holy month. As its about to finish, lets look back at the whole purpose of this practice of month long fasting. Its a good time to ponder on the very divine revelations concerning Ramadan. Perhaps God willing whatever time left we can be mindful and work towards its purpose.Since the Quran prescribed fasting specifically in the month of Ramadan, it is important to know the significance of this special time. A special feature of the Quran is that whenever it gives a command for action, it also provides the wisdom behind it. It tells what the final result of that action will be in this world, if it is successfully carried out. In this way the Quran provides a pragmatic test for people to see whether or not they are moving toward that desired result. (credit)Regarding fasting, the Quran says: "O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before

Only Apple II makes it that easy. It’s a complete, ready to use computer—not a kit. At $1298, it includes features you won’t find on other personal computers costing twice as much.
Features such as video graphics in 15 colors. And a built-in memory capacity of 8K bytes ROM and 4K bytes RAM —with room for lots more. But you don’t even need to know a RAM from a ROM to use and enjoy Apple II. It’s the first personal computer with a fast version of BASIC—the English-like programming language—permanently built in. That means you can begin running your Apple II the first evening, entering your own instructions and watching them work, even if you’ve had no previous computer experience.The familiar t

I thought some semi-retro glamour, in Bollywood terms, was in order and thought I'd do a breakdown of Madhuri Dixit. This clean and dramatic look is so soft and feminine to me.Prep:This look requires you skin to look flawless (don't they all), and properly moisturized skin forms a great base for foundation. If necessary, use a gentle scrub to exfoliate before moisturizing or applying make-up.Brows:Eyebrows play a prominent role in this look. Pluck any stray hairs so that your eyebrows are neat and if necessary groom them with a spoolie brush.Face:With a make-up sponge or foundation brush, apply a satin finish foundation with the coverage you desire. You can sheer out your foundation by using a wet sponge to apply it. If necessary, cover up any problematic areas with concealer. The final step is to blend the foundation and concealer together and into the jawline, sides of your face, neck etc.Eyes:Although this look doesn't require intricate shading, a primer will help make the eyesha
You remember about 20 years ago when virtually the only company that wrote operating systems was the once huge, and now tiny, Microsoft.
They used to release versions of an operating system that they called Windows every 3 or 4 years and everybody waited for something called SP1. What the heck was that. Special Pack, no Service Pack 1. It was taken as read that any new version of this Windows thing would be so lousy that it wasn’t worth using. Then this SP1 thing would come along and make it usable.
Then you’d get all of the problems with the drivers written by third party companies for their hardware and what’s funniest is that the drivers had access to the kernel and Microsoft had to beg them not to mash it up and make windows even more unusable. Who designed that mess anyway.
Also any software anybody used was never licensed or even independently tested by anyone so nobody had any idea if it worked OK. They were true pioneers. Not like us schmucks with our constan

I had promised to break down and comment further on Dow Chemical's (DOW) CEO Andrew Liveris's letter to shareholders a week ago and now that the Altria spin is over and I have been able to clear out my inbox with Altria (MO) related emails, it's time to comment. These letters are very important if for no other reason it allows us to discern what is important to the person at the top and, are they managing the company in a way that directs it towards them. I read these for the same reason I read the Earning Call Transcripts on Seeking Alpha, numbers only tell you so much. Because of this, I will dispense with most of the sales and revenue numbers and deal with what is important to us. This is a great letter because he first reviews the goals he set in 2006, updates his progress towards them and then after proving that he is good to his word, lays out the future for Dow.
When I bought and recommended Dow I did so because they were doing 3 key (among other) very shareholder friendl
Last month was not super and it was not bad.I ended up with a 11 eurocent profit. Better than a loss I guess.50% of my combinations were correct and 60% of my single bets.The best markets were:Tennis -> 13 bets -> 13 correctThe Premier League -> 5 bets -> 4 correctThe Jupiler league -> 6 bets -> 5 correctBut still there is lots of space for improvements. I wasn't capable of prediction a correct match for the Eredivisie and la Ligue 1.Also for the first time I made a profit in the tipster competition in which I participate. I made a profit of £1,147.So for this month the goal is to get 5€ profit and qualify for one of the prices in the tipster competition.Good Luck,DremeberI cannot be held responsible for any loss of money based on my predictions!

WHEN rabid feminists call for a revision of history into "herstory," I wince, not because of gender, but rather for the fact that women are almost invisible in history.
History is...

Happy New Year to all! Time really does fly fast and I can't believe it's already 2007! Anyway, I was cleaning my room a few days ago and I got to look at some albums from previous trips when film cameras were still in style.After my voyage on the Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program in 2002, I tried my best to visit my friends in the various ASEAN countries every year. I remember in 2003, my trip was postponed several times due to SARS. It finally pushed through in September and it was a blessing in disguise since it coincided with the docking of the M/S Nippon Maru in Singapore and Malaysia. In 2004, I went to Hue, Vietnam but wasn't able to meet up with anyone. My mistake was I sent the e-mail message too close to the trip and my SG-mate (the 340 participants are divided into 11 Solidarity Groups or SGs) only found out we were in the same city, attending the same festival when we got back.My blog was born during my trip in 2005 to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia and Brunei. The very fi
I'm not talking about Nostalgia, although that too wouldn't be all that bad either. This is about the human urge to be in the Past. The wish to be back in your childhood, reliving those wonderful times with your pals or that precious moment which you might just have missed, wishing you could go back and change things. We all wish to go back in Time.

THE RINGSIn the fall before her tragic death, Anna Nicole Smith, 38, and lawyer Howard K. Stern, 37, boarded the 41-ft. catamaran Margaritaville in the early morning hours of Sept. 28 and set sail off the coast of the Bahamas' Paradise Island - and then pledged their love in a commitment ceremony.MAKING A VOWDuring the simple ceremony, Smith and Stern exchanged vows and temporary rings before a Baptist minister and some of the couple's close friends. Although the high-seas ceremony was not legally binding (and no marriage certificate was issued), a source close to the couple told PEOPLE, the pair "made a commitment before God to be there for one another, to be each other's strength during this difficult time."MIXED EMOTIONS"Howard and Anna were both crying and kissing and holding hands. It was kind of sad and happy at the same time," friend and former Dynasty actor John James told PEOPLE. The bittersweet ceremony came, after all, on the heels of the still-unexplained death of Smit
