{summary}I’m tired of walking smelly diapers out to the garbage can outside so I’m introducing Rosco to the concept of eliminating on the potty. He did manage to get a little where it should go this evening, but the rest will probably be in his diaper in, oh, 15 minutes. I couldn’t help but to chuckle when I thought back on my instructions to him:

Surging mortgage foreclosures will probably hurt banks even after the U.S. Treasury bolsters their capital.
So does that mean the money is going down the drain?
In the depression one of the steps the govt did was buy mortgages from the banks ...lowered the interest rates...and kept people in their houses...1,000 foreclosures a day where happening ...
What is so wrong in trying this approach...

The Good the Bad and the Obvious.Many of the things that are written in this article I would have taken offense to only a few years ago as a black man living in America. I am not exactly sure when my beliefs, morals and perspective shifted but what I do know is that they did, for the better I can only hope. I am in a strange position to experience, see and judge a great deal of injustice and inequities that are being force fed onto the lower economical sectors of America. I am also in a position to hear and debate those injustices and inequities with both camps and the results are nothing less than remarkable. Black America through the eyes of a white immigrant.A white friend of the family, who has always been a good friend, once asked me a question of a long road trip. His question was
If you're a TV actor, and you're desperately trying to get people to forget how Party of Five put a bad taste in everyone's mouth, do like Matthew Fox does - don't let go of your day job ("Lost"), join an ensemble ("Vantage Point") and somehow squeeze yourself into a big summer movie produced by chair/phone thrower Joel Silver. Speed Racer opens today. For all the kids under 35 who were young enough to remember their parents who remember the t.v. show, see this over What Happens in Vegas. Ashton Kutcher and #1 movie in America sound just as good as the sound of a suicide bomber just before he detonates the bomb.

As Obama and Hillary move their campaigns into the final week before the Pennsylvania primary, it's useful to examine some past polling phenomenons. If you look at the tracking poll averages from just about every highly contested state to date, you'll notice strikingly similar trends.
Here's Iowa:
And New Hampshire:
And Texas:
And Ohio:
These graphs all show a similar pattern. While the spreads between Obama and Clinton a few weeks or months out were relatively large - 20 to 30 points in some states - as the campaigns headed into election day, the spreads universally shrank.
Now take a look at Pennsylvania's trends:
Again we see the same shape we've been seeing in state after state. So what's happening here?

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has finally dipped his toes into the waters of reality, admitting that real gross domestic product "could even contract slightly."

Bernanke warned this morning that threats to the economy are far from over, with unemployment on the rise, prices for food and fuel growing, and real incomes on the wane...The Fed chairman said he considered inflation to be a secondary threat to the economy, citing a leveling off of commodities prices in the futures markets, especially for oil.

Someone rightly said that statistics are like bikinis, what they reveal is suggestive and what they hide is vital. Now if you talk about cricket stats, you will always find players claiming saying that cricket stats is something the never excites them and that it is of very little significance to them. People say all kinds of things especially sports stars, but all of us know that anyone who has any kind of record or statistics in their name undoubtedly feels good about the whole thing. On closer examination of statistics you will find many facts being revealed to you which may not have been visible otherwise. Cricket Stats are vital for making strategies to take on any opposition on the field. In fact stats reveal such things which a person himself may not have been aware of, so imagine h
I blogged a few days ago about the BBC's new use of Flash video across the news website — my main question was to ask just why they won't allow embedding by others of their content. Or rather, why they will allow it when that content is nicked, republished on YouTube etc. (they aren't policing this with take-down notices) but won't enable it.As I commented, this makes even less sense when much of that content - yes, news content - would be of interest to exactly the audiences they are desperate to appeal to. Start with teenagers embedding news about climate change on Bebo/MySpace and think on. It's hard to see where the negatives are but presumably they think there are some.Of course, I tried to comment but actually gave up after re-hitting the button periodically over about eight hours.
There are several other assets that many people creating an estate plan fail to consider. The most commonly overlooked asset included in a person’s estate is life insurance, perhaps because the value of that insurance is not realized until after death. However, even though the death benefits are payable only upon your death, if you have life insurance, you must include its value in your estate
Is this woman citizenship worthy?It's hard to believe there needs to be a court ruling in a democratic country that says that one's religious expression should not be an obstacle to citizenship. But here we are. Give the Swiss high court credit for making the obvious ruling and overturning local authorities' decision to refuse citizenship to women wearing the veil. Sikhs wear turbans. Jews wear the Yarmulke. But, ouf! Muslim women wearing veils? We need a court ruling for that one. Swiss Court Rules Veil No Obstacle to Citizenship swissinfo.ch Switzerland's Federal Court has overturned two decisions by local assemblies to refuse citizenship on the grounds of women wearing a religious veil. Muslim organisations welcomed the rulings, which were announced on Wednesday, as a "step forward".

According to the company its robotic offerings will in time extend to a "broad array of markets such as law enforcement, homeland security, commercial cleaning, elderly care, oil services, home automation, landsc
Quantity versus quality – that’s always a business thought. In a business environment you sometimes have to choose one over the other. But when it comes to blogging and visitors, which one would make more sense? Is it that obvious?When it comes to the content within blogs, quality almost always beats quantity. Personally, I would rather read one great post than three average ones. Of course, there are rare exceptions to this but for the most part, people continue to come back if the content is good.When it comes to visitors, is quantity really better than quality? Would you rather have 10,000 visitors come in one day that would stay on your site for .0314 seconds then leave, but have the possibility of catching a percentage of that group to stick around, or have 1,000 visitors that will read your content, comment, possibly subscribe to your RSS Feeds and spread the word on how great your content is within your blog?I’ve been thinking about this a lot, especially using socia

We met one of the owners, a nice old lady, but when we asked her which dog was hers, she unknowingly made herself the topic of tonight's post when she responded, "Oh, he's the one with the tail."

7 Not So Obvious Signs They'reInterested In Youby Jennifer Good Have you ever met someone and then had the nagging suspicion that they might have more than "friends" in mind? There aren't always clear cut signs, but there are some not so obvious clues that people give…even when they aren't aware of it. The next time you need help determining a potential partner's interest level, use these seven tips as your guide. 1. Their pupils are enlarged when talking with you.The human pupil dilates when someone is excited or is having strong feelings about something. You can gauge a lot about their interest by paying attention to their eye contact. We often reveal far more than we desire through our eyes. 2. They seem to share a lot of common interests.If someone is engaging in activities that you like to do, or making an extra effort to be a part of them, chances are they're doing it just to spend more time with you. Take notice of how often they are asking or desiring to do things wi

A controversial plan to conduct virginity tests on female high school students in the West Java regency of Indramayu has been dropped following strong objections from students, parents and activists, as reported by The Jakarta Post on Monday, Aug. 20, 2007.The idea of the test came from Regent Irianto MS Syafiudin after a 16-year-old girl and her 17-year-old boyfriend, both students of state senior high schools in the regency, were caught having sex on video.The proposal has been turned down, but the regent's initiative reminds me of a test once in place in our educational system. It was in the early 1980s when I had just graduated from junior high school (SMP) and was busy preparing for an entrance test to high school (SMA), when a friend told me she had to undergo a virginity test as part of the requirements to study at a vocational school (SMK) specializing in nursing.

When you meet a family of, let's say...eight, doesn't it seem a little obvious to say, "wow, you have a big family!!"? I'm sure most people say it out of intrigued admiration, but mom and dad must hear that ALL the time. So, when meeting my largest family clients Saturday morning, I tried my very best not to utter those words. Instead, I did what must happen almost as often. I screwed up on all the names--over and over and over again. To save my life, I could not get them straight. I have to admit, for the first time in a long time I was nervous going into the session. What if there was so much going on I couldn't capture the little "moments" I love so much? What if they gang up on me (this I found to be way too far fetched because they were all so sweet and well behaved)? What if I didn't get one frame worthy picture of each child? To get over all my doubts I had to loosen up so I could be ready for the little moments when they happen, and they always happen eventually
We forget sometimes that for some people, politics isn't just an enjoyable topic of conversation -- it's also a job. When you get laid off from your campaign, you need work. When a newcomer to the race has passed by the opportunity to hire the best people, it leaves that newcomer at a distinct disadvantage. The resulting confluence of these needs is obvious enough, and it strengthens Fred Thompson's campaign significantly. This only puts McCain further in the hole than he would otherwise have been.
