Freddie joins Fannie in purchasing ‘conforming jumbo’s’

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:29:13 PDT
This is a couple of days old - and I’ve received several emails as to why I haven’t blogged about it yet. The answer is that while the news of the GSE picking up jumbo conforming loans is, in fact, news, the bigger story is that there hasn’t been much of an appetite for these loans through any channel. First let’s talk about the news of Freddie Mac purchasing jumbo conforming loans (up to $729,750) as part of the Economic Stimulus Act. From CNN on Freddie Mac’s announcement: The McLean, Va.,

What Would Success Look Like in Iraq?

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:31:52 PDT
How about an end to private militias? That’s pretty important to the kind of success in Iraq that lets most American troops leave knowing that they’ve helped make the world a safer place. How about a Shiite-led government cracking down on Shiite militias while Sunni tribes turn on Sunni al Qaeda? That would be pretty good. And how about an Iraqi army that quickly corrects its mistakes, flushes out its non-performers, tries again and succeeds? An Iraqi army that can provide security for Ira

Mostly (But Not All) Katie: Combined Big 3 Evening Newscasts' Decline Continues

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 16:13:48 PDT
Interest in the presidential election should be driving up ratings for the Big Three networks' evening news shows, right? Wrong. Here is how evening news viewership at ABC, NBC, and CBS for the two most recent available weeks compares to the analogous weeks of 2007 (From Media Bistro's TV Newser: April 7, 2008; March 31, 2008; April 9, 2007; April 2, 2007): Total viewership continues to slip. The year-over-year downward change is over 1.7 million viewers (850,000 per week). Even though CBS

Differentiation of Instruction in the Classroom

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:54:08 PDT
This is an editorial exploration into the birth of the theory and practice of differentiated instuction. I opine that what is claimed to be addressed by this allegedly "new" thinking and pedagogical approach, is neither adequately addressed in most cases, nor new. What would be new is a long-term commitment to it, unswayed by trend, fed by data.

Reflections on the Pope’s Visit

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 11:48:46 PDT
As we draw near to the end of the first visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the United States, we can begin to reflect on the themes he addressed. My reflections are rooted in my own perspective as a Seventh-day Adventist pastor who, nonetheless, spent many years as a member and a lay leader within the Catholic Church. As I reflect on the pope’s remarks, I see much that is positive, from which we can learn, as well as areas for caution and concern. Throughout his visit, starting with his remarks at

Jack Cafferty, for once, is right

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:46:30 PDT
By Mark Rhoads Southern Illinois politicians used to be very fond of the sage axiom "Even a busted clock is right twice a day." I am not normally a fan of Jack Cafferty at CNN who is often a tiresome windbag. But when he is right, he's right. Supposedly ethnic Chinese in Los Angeles demostrating support for the current Beijing party line in demanding that Cafferty and CNN apologize for Cafferty's recent characterization of Chinese political leaders as the same old gang of "thugs and goons"

Heart rate and exercise

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 12:03:17 PDT
This article in the NYT talks about heart rate and exercise. The article makes it seem like you shouldn’t bother monitoring it. I just don’t agree. Seeing heart rate as the goal is a mistake. Obsessing over the number - any numbers unless you are a high-performance athlete - is ridiculous and counter-productive. Watching your heart rate should be, like anything else, just another tool you use in your fitness arsenal. It’s just one way to measure, in real time, the efficacy of what you a

They had preview copies for sale at the Sequart booth, although no information is available online yet. KC’s already enjoyed diving into the volume. I didn’t pos

A news junkie’s dream …. or nightmare

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:46:47 PDT
I am a news junkie and admittedly if I had cable plus the extra TV I would probably have either CNN or CBC Newsworld on the whole time I’m in my room I jokingly call my office. So when I saw Brian Solis’ post about local broadcast news going social I was at first rather skeptical of the the idea; after all everything these days is having the social sticker slapped on its ass like it is going to be the road to instant riches or something. But when I clicked on the LiveNewsComeras.com link (go

Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:50:34 PDT
Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up! The state-run media in Canada (and the citizen-owned media who do their best to compete with them) all lament, daily (with intra-day lament updates, all day long), the price of a barrel of oil, and the resulting price of gas. (Of course they don’t have the foggiest clue what they’re talking about, but they pretend they do.) Even as I was writing this, the state-owned CBC did a story about the latest rise in gas prices. Apparently it’s getting h
