Well, these days, I’m on my own in the world and don’t have class after class and professor after professor to hold my hand on the path to the wealth of wisdom held within the world’s troves of literary treasures. Brigham Young goes on to say that he encouraged his own children to study music and dance, to attend the theater, and to read novels, things that he said, “expand their frames, add fire to their spirits, and improve their minds.” I was all gung-ho for about two seconds and I was a few clicks away from creating a whole new blog dedicated to my literary pursuits but I’ve drawn back and decided that this quest is as big a part of me as my trips to Disneyland, the Discovery Science Center and other far off places my travels take me wink, wink).

He gave the Porter a 90 and the IPA a 92, on the Wine Specatator/Cigar Afficiando scale, 90-95 being excellent, 95-100 superb, 85-89 very good, 80-85 good, 76-80 above average, 70-75 average, 65-69 fair, 61-65 not good, under 60 horrible…. He didn’t think there would be too much under the 80 range today… for Tim a bud might be a 72, a coors a 76, a Guinness a 92, 95 in Britain, he hoped to find some beers he would be happy to get in the 94 range, such beers were rare and wonderful.Enjoyed some Bass Ale (86), Stone Coast Knuckleball Bock (87) and Casco Bay Riptide Red (83) tonight …It was nice to meet some alums of my wife’s high school — Foxcroft Academy, in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine …And happy May Day …

Up until the 1970s, Ireland could still be considered an ‘agrarian society of small, scattered family farms’, Irish people ‘strongly attached to the Catholic Church’, and Irish society ‘isolated from Europe by an all-pervasive British influence’. The Ireland of today is a liberal, secular society, enjoying a mostly participant political culture, and with a political value system that is a far cry from the traditional values of family, church and nation. How is it that the Ireland of the 2000s cannot be described as being anywhere close to the Ireland of the 1970s? As Coakley and Gallagher stated, “the level of educational development in Ireland and the growth of literacy proceeded much more quickly than the more retarded pace of economic development would have suggested.”By the 20th Century, the educated Irish people became more urbanised. In comparison to the caste system of Agrarian Ireland, industrial people were free to choose their life, rather than have it mapped out for them.It was the Sixties which saw the most rapid change. Emigration also dropped to the lowest it has been since that time, with Irish emigrants coming back to enjoy the new prosperity of Ireland, and foreign emigrants coming in for new opportunities. By 2005, that number had dropped to 35%.Liberalisation in Irish society was largely brought about by two different sources: the European Union, of which Ireland has been a member since 1973, is a secular grouping, and it has mostly replaced the church as the dominant influence on Irish governmental policy. This show survived many threats from the church and other conservative elements to introduce new views to Irish society, and which led in part to the referenda on divorce and abortion, the legalisation of homosexuality in 1993, and the legalisation of the selling of contraceptives in the 1980s.The question one must now ask is, seeing how quickly Ireland changed since the 1970s, when the last vestiges of ‘Old Ireland’ began to finally disappear, how will Ireland further evolve in the future? Gay rights are gaining an increased importance, but most Irish people still oppose the idea of granting gay couples full marriage.It is difficult to tell how the future will be in terms of Irish society.

The second stage of a multi-faceted transit proposal is a line called The Northstar Commuter Rail, an 82 mile line set to run from St. Cloud (north and west of Minneapolis), along Highway 94 to meet with the existing Hiawatha Line. I know several people who have sat or do sit in a virtual parking lot every single day on that stretch of highway (to be honest, our entire highway system is a parking lot!) as they come into the city.I just remembered about the flap over the Hiawatha Line promotional posters (similar to the one pictured) that were eerily reminiscent of WW2 propaganda posters… And I thought the Hiawatha Line f*cked up traffic on Hiawatha Ave.!

Array-ne All of the families who live in the not knowing want the answer, the answer to the question that burns in their hearts daily: “Where is my missing loved one?”Once in a while, one of our families is given their answer. There is yet a third answer, and it is one I did not think of often.Just last month, when I attended the 5 year missing event for Gina Bos in Lincoln, I was talking with Gina’s sister, and she was telling me that one of the mothers of a missing person she gave support to had passed away. She also wondered who would pick up where the mother left off in the search for the missing family member.This morning I received an email from the family of Karen Zoltkowski. Readers who have been with me for awhile might recall the story of her son, Jeff, who has been missing for 12 long years.You may want to read it first, and then return here. She dealt with Jeff being missing for 12 years, and yet she still made efforts to find him. I was inspired by her ability to keep trying for Jeff, even though the years of dealing with his being missing surely had taken its toll on her.By the way, Cristen and Michelle said they will take up where Karen left off in the search for Jeff. I deal with it like every other parent that has a missing child - one second at a time, praying for the Grace of God.When your son is missing, he is the first thing you think of in the morning, and the last at night.

For events (e) and scales (s) this means the following: MCO(e) is a punctual event, MCO(s) s non-gradable scale, CO(e) a durative event and CO(s) a gradable scale. (It caused some confusion among us whether it is really possible to make this strict cut until Joost noted that this kind of distinction makes use of what is really stated rather than about the real world.) Beavers furthermore claims that there is a general isomorphism up to tripartite mereological complexity: minimally complex events require minimally complex scales (and vice versa) and complex events are only compatible with complex scales (and vice versa). We were furtheron wondering how hit might work in these examples but since we didn’t have any native speakers present we couldn’t pursue this matter any further.We came up with at least two counter-examples to Beavers’ claim that there may not be a mismatch between the kinds of structures associated with the event and the scale: First, it is possibile to say The outlaw beat the sheriff unconscious, although unconscious is not really gradable and should therefore behave like dead in invoking a bipartite instead of a tripartite structure. If we think about the whole matter in Gillian’s framework, then actually those elements that are minimally complex in Beavers’ terms (punctual events, non-gradable scales), might be structurally more complex than Beavers’ complex ones (durative events, gradable scales) in that they necessarily enforce the complete tripartite structure.

Array It was a program that poked fun at both media frenzy and the effects thereof (anybody remember the Welsh Pediatrician who was chased from her home after the News of the World’s name and shame campaign?) and media whore B-list celebs who will do anything for publicity and cash, to the extent that they don’t even listen as their spastic words tumble out of their mouths.Secondly, it very effectively embarrassed the relevant governmental spokesmen and women who rushed to condemn it before having to admit that they hadn’t actually seen it (although in fairness one could accept that David Blunkett is not really very likely to see anything…). Bearing in mind that the Treasury was probably intended to cause gasps of delight at the sheer range of artifacts and objects of unutterable beauty, a brisk walk around the room was enough to make me feel sick with anger at and loathing of the Catholic Church. There are hundreds of the damned things worldwide, and if we suppose that each one only held treasures a tenth of the value of those found in Seville then on can see that the Catholic Church must have a value running into billions, if not trillions (trillion= 1000 billion) of pounds. Shit, the stuff can be replaced with gold leaf and costume jewelry and nobody would know the difference.Of course, this will never happen, as all artifacts are needed for the greater glory of God. It was vast and gothic in it’s appearance, and at every corner there was some piece of tourist guide scribble reminding us that the building was completed in God’s name and for His glory, as if somehow it wouldn’t have been possible to build the damn thing without His blessing! Yes, it is an amazing achievement that so huge and imposing a building could have been constructed over 500 years ago but it was mankind who built it, not God (unless I’m mistaken; The fact that it was done in the name of a religion doesn’t make it any greater and to say that it does is to downgrade the importance of those two monuments I have just mentioned, the latter of which was built in the name of Freedom and the former as a monument to a great Pharaoh. Probably that the Treasury proved to me that the words of the Catholic church are hollow and meaningless when it comes to their claims that one can have a better life when one has faith. Even the ticket I had to buy to get into the Cathedral made the proud boast that 60% of the price would go on building (and presumably outfitting) new churches.

****DISCLAIMER: if this entry is about you, I don’t mean to be mean or anything, just truthful. if you feel insulted, go ahead, stop reading my diary. whatever.****Today when I signed on, I got one of those messages that you get from MSN Messenger when someone adds you to their contact list, which gives you the option of blocking them from seeing when you’re online. I always feel kind of bad blocking people, although I pretty much always do when I have no idea who they are.Then I got a notification that this person had sent me some email. So I thought, hey, cool, maybe there’ll be some kind of note telling me who they are, how they found out about me (most likely through this diary), and maybe they’ll be a cool person and I’ll unblock them.Turns out, I was immediatly glad that I had blocked them, and I just became more and more thrilled as the minutes passed. This person (in my estimate, about 13 years old) had sent me four…count ‘em, FOUR chain e-mails (oh, and not a single personal note explaining why on earth I, someone who has never even seen her name, was receiving them from her). I promptly blocked her email address so as to not receive any more.The thing is, they were STUPID ones, like, if you send this to 6 people, the taco bell dog will run down your street, if you send it to 8, then ronald mcdonald will beat him up. anyone who believes that that would, or COULD happen AT ALL, let alone because of an email, is, I’m sorry, stupid.The others were about friendship. FRIENDSHIP. I’ve never HEARD of this person before in my life. The kicker for me was the second one, which consisted of an unspeakably stupid poem, if you can call it that, about friendship, and then this:*SEND THIS TO ALL YOURFRIENDS AND BACK TO THEPERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU…IF YOU GET IT BACK…THATPERSON IS YOUR TRUE FRIEND!!*PASS THIS ON AND YOU WILLRECEIVE ONE BIG KISS FROM YOUR CRUSH!!!SEND IT TO THIS MANY AND GET:0)NEVER GET KISSED AGAIN1)GET A PECK ON THE FORE HEAD2)GET A PECK ON THE CHEEK3)GET A PECK ON THE LIPS4)GET A KISS5)GET A LITTLE TONGUE6)GET A LOT OF TONGUE7)GET SOME TONGUE WITH A HUGNot only is this stupid (how is *a hug* suddenly THE ULTIMATE, beyond tongue????), but obviously whoever sent me this hasn’t even read my whole diary, and if they have, they don’t understand the concept of fiance, or getting married or Im twenty years old”. I dont know whether I should be laughing or puking.link

I thought for sure you would be here by your due date, and as I was encouraged by the losing of the mucus plug, I was equally discouraged at the thought of having to wait two more weeks! I told your Dad about it and he was excited! Alex, a friend of Popi’s, came over with his baby girl, and I watched and played with her while your Dad, Popi and Alex got the cobra chassis onto a truck to be taken to the shop. Afterwards your Dad and I went to the mall to walk around and try to coax you out. I had pepperoni and green peppers and your Dad had chicken. I wanted to be the only one to write in your baby book, as I wanted it to be consistent handwriting, your Dad didn’t understand. Around midnight I asked your Popi what we should do, he told me to go get some sleep, so we did. I went and woke up Popi and told him what was happening. I went downstairs and woke up your Dad. Penny (the nurse) called back and then told us to head in to the hospital. The nurse came in and checked me. Popi came in and we told him the good news! They asked me for my insurance card, I had forgotten it at home so Popi went home to get it. The nurses and your Dad helped me out of bed and onto the ball at the end of the bed. I sat on it and leaned forward resting my head on my hands as your Dad rubbed my back. The nurses were telling me that I would probably deliver around Noon. I sat up and chatted with your Dad. I rested and listened to some music, while your Dad slept a little bit in the chair next to me. Popi had left at this time to get Abuela. The nurses asked me if it was pain or pressure I was feeling, I said more like pressure. I had your Dad call Abuela and Popi, as I was now very nervous they wouldn’t make it in time for the delivery. The nurses were setting up the room and the one nurse had me start practice pushing. Dr. Jenkins had gone to another hospital so the nurses were trying to find a doctor to deliver you! I started pushing and Abuela and Popi walked in the door! Your Dad cut the cord. I missed seeing it because the nurse said you were a girl and I turned to Abuela and kept saying, “Mom, I got my girl! During that time I was getting stitched up and your Dad was with you. Once they nurses had your wrapped up, your Dad brought you over to me.

The school was just outside of Boston, Massachusettes. It took us 6 hours (283 miles) to get to our hotel in Dedham, Massachusettes. August 11, 2001We drove to Quincy, Massachusettes to see President John Adams and President John Quincy Adams graves. It took us 1 1/2 hours to get back to Dedham, Massachusettes due to the lack of traffic now.We ate dinner at Joe’s Bar & Grill. There wasn’t a pool table like in Cheers but there was a pool table, it was on the ceiling.Back at the hotel we stopped in the lobby to ask what time they thought we would have to leave in the morning in order for me to get to school. School was about 5 miles away and class started like at 8:30 AM. We know traffic is bad here in the Boston area but an hour to go 5 miles? I won’t do that again.While I was in school, Peter drove to Bryant College and the New England Patriots Training Camp. There was more rain after dinner.August 14, 200172 DegreesAgain today Peter dropped me off at school and headed for the New England Patriots Training Camp.

I go first to the counter and quickly finish, but linger around after to make sure Jenn has no problems.Again, as we come into view of the baggage section, I see the gigantic suitcases. But this time they are all strewn about, because here, there is no luggage carousel except for a small chute that spits out the luggage onto a small conveyor belt and since the baggage are so many, passengers end up grabbing and removing the clogged belt so more can come out of the chute. We are conscious of the baggage boys attempting to handle our baggage for a fee, so we politely say no to them as we get to the arrival crowd.I still remember waiting in the arrival crowd as a kid, and the shear excitement generated just to see people arrive. the excitement created by arriving passengers.In planning this trip, Dennis and Denise, our family friends insist we stay with them, so we are now looking for Dennis or maybe Mike his business partner, in the crowd. It’s very dark on the roads, so I have to look closely for landmarks by memory. Ricks&Sari sign is still located at the first ninety-degree bend in the road after we leave the airport, and later I see the T-intersection where the public road and the Sosedyk/Linden Highway meet. To my left, as I pass the intersection, are the stalls used by fruit vendors to sell pineapple, bananas, papaya, mangoes and other fruits to the heavy passenger traffic that uses the road to and from both destinations.The public road is twistier than I recall and is more pronounced as Mike makes sudden swerves to avoid dogs and other animals coming out onto the road. It is not uncommon to see cows wandering onto the road either, and in extreme cases, the animals would actually lie on the road. At this time of day in the week, the entertainment part of this street is simply hopping with people, and the road is congested with parked cars. Socializing does not get any better.Just as I think Mike is turning on to Ogle airstrip road, he makes a U-turn at the intersection, and heads back again in the city direction, then makes a left into Oleander Gardens and within one hundred yards we are at the Dias’s.

There are two products that we hope to produce as a part of our project, a magazine and a weekend club alternative which would also link to a program that would be implemented in churches. The weekend club alternative would give teenagers a weekend outlet that would not only keep them from taking part in worldly activities, but also enrich them while helping them build a closer relationship with God. It would resemble a Christian club but also include forums and discussions. there are lots of resources for you there in your own city.There are at least 5 Christian clubs in DFW – Out of these 3, Club 412 in Forth Worth would be the best one to contact, since they have told me that they want to help others get similar ministries going. There are more resource connections on http://www.kingdomspace.com Let me know if I can help further Andrew Jones Club Scenes and Church. Churches looking like clubs. The new service had the look and feel of a club, although more like a Comedy Club/Cafe than a music club. Club God Squad happened on San Francisco’s Haight Street every Friday night. which meant that at 2 or 3 am there would be a tidal wave of people coming out of nowhere to sample our club scene, and then they would be gone. The club never became a church. These days I prefer the house party over the club scene. I like living rooms better than dance floors, and many cool clubs are putting couches in their spaces to look and feel more like living rooms anyway.

But after that, we set afoot in this strange land of corruption and bribery!The boatride to Stung Treng was without further incidents - it would be about the only boattrip without incidents - and we arrived after 2 hours at about noon, with one thing in mind: to search for a boat towards the next town in line, which was Kratie (4 hours further down the Mekong). Economic rules were a bit more in our favour here as we managed to make two guys lower their prices against each other and found a french couple to be more numerous to bargain.So we were on the Mekong again in a small (too small?) boat - the Sampan type as always - , six fat Westerners ,their luggage and two Cambodians almost on top of each other. Problem was tik-tak time, it was already after 3 P.M., Kratie was 1h30 away with speedboat (2h30 with the boats we had had until then) and sunset here is just before 6, and I can assure you nights on the Mekong can be pretty dark !Once again no reaction until finally, one of the two (no, we didn’t allow the second one to go along !) returned with the submarine boat back to Stung Treng to get another boat.At 16u10, two speedboats arrived, one to look at the mess, the other one to get us to Kratie that same day, after we agreed to pay 80$ instead of 70$ (as the normal price for the speedboat was 200$, this was acceptable). And so we continued after all - incredible but true - in the direction of Kratie, not at all at ease because those turbo-boosted boats are the kind that you see flipping over on those T.V. We managed to pass the public boat 10 minutes before arriving at Kratie, after a crazy ride I wouldn’t want to revive even if paid a small fortune for it.But when entering Kratie port, those slimy Cambodian bastards had one more trick up their sleeves: our little boat stopped 250m from the big pier where the public boat would halt for 5 minutes a couple of moments later, and a hawker was already indicating that we would miss the public boat, that we could continue to charter this speedboat for a greaaaat price, and before we could react, our captain reversed the engine and left the shore !!! Untying the ropes that held the backpacks, crawling on yet another shore through the mud, sprinting fully loaded the 250m towards the main pier - the captain running after us for his money - ignoring ticket booth, check point and other annoyances, we made a final jump to the boat …

-ne An HSP Virtual Friend recently asked me if I had much experience with major relocations, and with choosing a place by intuitive feel, just because it seemed right. My overall account name here on Blogger was established under the moniker GlobalNomad, which should tell you a thing or two.If there is any wisdom I have gathered from this nomadic lifestyle, it is that there is a huge difference between going to a place because you want to, purely for the sake of the place itself, and going to a place for the sake of another person, or because you have to (i.e. It is still scary (especially for an HSP) to consider a major move across the country– but if you’re unencumbered (so to speak) you have eliminated a great deal of the inner turmoil and stress that often goes with leaving a place behind.The task, then, becomes the challenge of taking inventory of yourself in terms of what makes you like (and DISlike) any specific geographic location. Does the place feel right, to you?Listening to your inner wisdom is also important when it comes to your overall decision for moving– at least in terms of trying to figure out the true nature of your restlessness.

Array For example, alcoholics often get hooked on spirituality and donuts at AA meetings (I am not in any way belittling either, as you’ll see below).Likewise, drug addicts might become hooked on exercise and gamblers could get obsessed with work.In all of these cases, the addict is able to focus on an alternative habit which is also pleasurable but less destructive, which makes it much easier to kick the old habit.Instead of going cold turkey, which many people do not have the willpower to do, they can reach for something else which ALSO gives them pleasure. For example, gambling is a recognized addiction, which is strictly behavioral).So talking to someone with one or more of these addictions about 9/11 without offering them a substitute pleasure is like trying to get a drug addict to quit cold turkey: some can do it, but most can’t.We need to offer these emotional and mental addicts something else to reach for, a more healthy and sustainable pleasure.Like What?That’s up to you to figure out. Indeed, instead of the traditional concept of individual religious salvation or spiritual enlightenment, 9/11 may be an issue which helps us to create a group worship, a shared sprituality, the ability to walk our talk and act on our prayers within a group context more than just once-a-week in church, temple or mosque.And what could be more sustainable than the development and growth of our souls?There are undoubtedly other healthy addictions which people can substitute as they wake up to 9/11 truth, so they don’t have to try to quit the official story cold turkey.Postscript: Intervention is another method for treating addiction.

-ne Upon hearing that Matthew Barney created a new movie, and this time with his wife/partner Bjork, I had to see it. Hence, last Thursday I went to Landmark on Clark to see Growing Restraint 9.Bjork created the soundtrack to the movie, while Barney was responsible for the story and visual presentation. Overall, the movie was a scrumptious, elating adventure, and the soundtrack fit the film extremely well. there are children dancing in a procession, several females swimming, and more.I believe the movie is about creativity, restraint and love, but I might be off. I suggest for everyone to see this movie, if not to see what Barney is about, then to get full enjoyment of Bjork’s latest album.Growing Restraint WebsiteMovie Reviews:NYTimesNYSunBBCNewsReutersBloomberg

-ne Our Global Network web site has had well over 5,000 hits today as people learn about our opposition to the launch of the controversial New Horizons mission to Pluto that will carry 24 pounds of plutonium onboard.The media has begun to cover the danger of the plutonium launch in the last couple of days. CBS evening news last night made mention of the opposition to launching nuclear power into space and today CNN TV news ran a nice interview with Karl Grossman who gave some background and context to our concerns. They ask why so few were there after we had 1,000 people at the space center in 1997 protesting the Cassini launch that carried 72 pounds of plutonium onboard?I also organized large protests at the space center in 1989 against the nuclear Galileo mission and then again in 1990 when Ulysses lifted off with plutonium onboard. The media and NASA would like the public to believe that there is not much opposition to the New Horizons plutonium launch just because we did not organize a big rally at the space center. The public says, “Yes these pictures from space are nice but I’d rather have my tax dollars spent on health care, education, child care, or cleaning up our planet Earth.” In the end we can say that people around the world are learning that the New Horizons space probe is another controversial space shot with deadly plutonium onboard.

Not.But that is what we need,if the rest of the world is to livelike our part of the world.Worldwatch has issued its annual State of the Worldand that is its conclusion.Here is the story.’Find a couple of spare planets or face global oil war’Times OnlineBy Richard Beeston, Diplomatic EditorTHE world faces the real threat of a new conflict over oil as China competes with existing world powers for scarce resources to feed its growing economy, according to a report published today.The State of the World 2006, released by the Worldwatch Institute, says that last year China became the second- largest importer of oil, after the US, while consuming26 per cent of the world’s steel,32 per cent of rice production,37 per cent of cotton and47 per cent of cement.China is set to become the world’s largest carmaker in the coming decade.While environmentalists are concerned about the impact on the world’s climate and the drain on its resources, strategists fear that the competition for energy, particularly oil, could destabilise the planet.According to the report, China was nearly self-sufficient in oil in the mid-1990s. But over the past decade its consumption has doubled and it has now overtaken Japan as the second-largest importer of oil, with 3.2 million barrels a day in 2004.It predicts that if the economies of China and India continue to grow at their current rate, the world will not be able to produce enough oil to meet demand by 2050, when consumption will have grown from the current 85 million barrels a day to 200 million barrels. “Few geologists believe that output will reach even half those levels before beginning to decline,” the report says.As a result China is already looking for new oil suppliers from Siberia to Sudan, often dealing with notorious regimes, such as the junta in Burma. Of even greater concern is the possibility that open conflict could break out between nations competing for resources or trying to protect their supply lines, such as key trade routes, currently patrolled by the US Navy.The report draws the parallel between Japan in the 1930s and China today. It recalls that it was Japan’s inability to secure its oil supplies from South-East Asia that prompted its entry into the Second World War.Today Beijing is strengthening its Navy to protect its energy supplies, shipped at great distances from the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.“The prospect of countries ranging from the United States and China to Japan and Saudi Arabia — together with the world’s terrorists — vying for physical control of the world’s oil does not sound like a prescription for global security,” the Worldwatch report says.Christopher Flavin, the Worldwatch president, says in a preface to the report,“Unless we find a couple of spare planets in the next few decades, neither of these projections will come to pass . . .We therefore face a choice:Rethink almost everything, or risk a downward spiral of political competition and economic collapse,” he says.

Gary Williams said he was hoping that the Hampton game would be a teaching tool for this young Maryland team but it turned out that the malaise that had them playing so poorly against the Pirates continued on to their game against Northeastern last night. The Terps were unable to get many points in transition which is normally how they get themselves through shooting droughts.The defense was solid, until late in the game, and probably kept Northeastern from getting a bigger lead. In its first three games Maryland has averaged 21.7 turnovers a game. Much will be made of Maryland’s free throw advantage but Northeastern shot an astounding 30 more field goals (77-47).The free throw shooting looked like it might also sink Maryland as they shot only 55% in the 1st half hitting 11 out of 20. That turned around in the second half and Maryland, lead by Boom Osby, hit 12/16 and 8/10 in the overtime period to win the game. Gist was sensational in the 1st half with 14 points but was able to carry that momentum into the 2nd half to finish with a career high 27 for the game. Through two games he is averaging 21.5 points and 8.5 rebounds while shooting 57% from the floor and 40% from 3-point range. In a reverse of the Hampton game Boom hit eight straight free throws in the final 8 minutes to help regain the lead for Maryland. In the 1st half he had almost as many points (5), rebounds (4) as turnovers (3) but then exploded for 11 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks in the 2nd half and overtime. He only shot 2/10 from the floor and totaled only 9 points while on the defensive end his assignment was to guard Matt Janning who poured in 26 points and kept Northeastern in the game almost by himself. He needs to be more consistent for Maryland to contend for the post season this year but he wasn’t that bad last night, with the exception of the dreadful shooting foul on Janning that resulted in three free throws (his missed two).Eric Hayes on the other hand did have a terrible game. He had a decent, if unspectacular, five points and seven rebounds for the game but it was his team leading six turnovers that nearly sank Maryland. The soft part of the schedule doesn’t come until after the BC game on December 9th.There are things to be concerned about but these next few games will give a good indication of the progress of this young group.

Doug Duncan, chief economist for the Mortgage Bankers Association, commented in September on the state of the mortage market and dropped some interesting observations that have yet to show up in the mainstream media:Thirty-five percent of the homes in the U.S. do NOT have a mortgage.Some 94.88 percent of the loans ARE performing.The foreclosure problem in this country is really a story about seven states.The biggest foreclosure problems are in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Twenty-five percent of the foreclosures in these states are on properties that are held by investors who were speculating.Only 25 percent of all mortgages are subprime, and of these, 75 percent are performing.In the other 43 states, foreclosures have fallen in 2007 from 2006 (data from Michael Clawson, vice president, Central Texas Mortgage).- Inman News, 9.16.07So what does this mean for you?
