Phoenix mortgage loan trends.

The music and film industry continues to pursue its idea of a politically "corrected" Internet - one that they imagine could protect their old business models without requiring any extra costs on their part. This time, the fix is Internet-wide filtering. In a memo to European policy-makers, the International Federation of Phonographic Industries (IFPI) has called upon ISPs in Europe to filter the content sent across their networks, block protocols used by their customers, and cut off access to persistently infringing sites from the Net.Disturbingly, European politicians seem open to the idea of ISPs policing and interfering with their customers' communications on behalf of rightsholders. Last month, the European Parliament's Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) tabled an amendment to a Parliamentary report that changed a request to "rethink the critical issue of intellectual property", into a call for "internet service providers to apply filtering measures to prevent cop

US Import Price Growth May Signal Inflation Pressures, Prevent Fed Rate CutsImport Price Index (MoM) (SEP) (12:30 GMT, 08:30 EST)Expected: 1.0%Previous: -0.3% Import Price Index (YoY) (SEP) (12:30 GMT, 08:30 EST)Expected: n/aPrevious: 1.9%How Will The Markets React? The release of the US import price growth could stir speculation that rising inflation pressures will prevent the Federal Reserve from cutting rates again on October 31st. The import price index for September is anticipated to surge 1.0 percent from the month prior after the figure dipped 0.3 percent in August. Much of the gains will likely be led by energy prices, as both oil and natural gas costs rebounded. Furthermore, with the US Dollar weakening so significantly, the price of other imports will pick up as well. Given the downside risks to growth and mounting inflation risks, the FOMC is in a very precarious position. Sho

Maybe its because everything looks more real on high definition, but Michael Bloomberg’s statement that he doesn’t plan to run certainly sounded like he meant it when he was interviewed by Dan Rather on HDNet Tuesday night. For those who do not receive HDNet, Reuters provides a summary. I always suspected Bloomberg would not run because of not wanting to spend his money on a campaign he probably could not win. Hearing Bloomberg cite his belief that “Nobody’s going to elect me president of the United States” provides a convincing argument that he does not plan to run. Ask me next January or February, after we have the nominees from the major political parties, whether Bloomberg’s decision is a good or bad thing. In 2004 there was little talk of third party candidates as most people were either determined to attempt to throw Bush out of office or to reelect the person whey were conned into thinking was keeping them safe from terrorism. At this point in

By Andrea R. Mihailescu MayTehran wants Italy`s Eni and Austria`s OMV to commit to developing parts of the giant South Pars gas field project. Iran has asked Eni to make a formal decision by July. 'Negotiations with Petropars and Eni (about developing phases 19 to 21 of South Pars) are going on,' said Akbar Torkan, managing director of Pars Oil and Gas Co. Torkan said the company gave Eni a two-month deadline, after which it would decide which one of the companies would have the right to participate in the project. Meanwhile, the U.S. ambassador to Austria warned OMV in official comments to the Austrian press that it could face possible sanctions if it committed to participating in the South Pars development. Iran is struggling to keep its falling oil and gas exports from mature and producing fields high, which involves huge investments and access to advanced technology that it hoped to acquire from international oil companies.
