GravatarBubble Done Burst

Sales of previously owned homes plummeted in July to the lowest level in 2 1/2 years while the number of unsold homes peaked to a new record high as buyers waited on the sidelines for prices to come down.

Sales of existing homes dropped 4.1 percent in July from June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.33 million, the lowest level since January 2004, according to the National Association of Realtors.

"It's worse than I thought," said David Lereah, chief economist of the Realtors' group. "The housing markets are fragile."

"These are very disappointing numbers," echoed Phillip Neuhart, economic analyst at Wachovia Corp., one of the country's largest lenders.

Gravatar UK troops to stay in Iraq 'to protect investment'

A force of around 4,000 British troops will stay behind in Iraq for an indefinite period, even after all provinces controlled by the UK are handed over to the Baghdad government in nine months' time, senior defence sources said yesterday.

The soldiers will be positioned at a base in Basra ready to act to "protect the investment" made by US and British forces in the country, it was disclosed.

A senior British commander said that it was "feasible" that the last British controlled region could be handed over to the Iraqi authorities by the middle of next year.

The province of Dhikar, run by the Italians, is also due to come under Iraqi control in the near future. The Independent has learnt that the Rome government plans to pull out the whole force of 2,700 within the next month as Italy takes the lead role in providing more than 3,000 troops for an international Lebanon force.

GravatarSales of previously owned homes plummeted in July to the lowest level in 2 1/2 years while the number of unsold homes peaked to a new record high as buyers waited on the sidelines for prices to come down.

The last significant downturn in the DC area housing market I recall was around '91... you could see the ripple effects throughout the local economy because people were carrying a lot of indebtedness based on the assumption that their house would forever and always appreciate and bail them out of whatever debt-hole they happened to be in.

We "pulled out" of that one. Not sure about this one.

Gravatar-- Dutch police said Wednesday that 12 passengers were in custody after a Northwest Airlines flight bound for Mumbai, India, returned to Amsterdam when several people on board aroused concern.

No formal charges have been laid, police said.

A U.S. government official said that some of the passengers had pulled out cell phones during the flight, and that some appeared to be trying to pass the cell phones to other passengers.

In addition, some passengers unfastened their seatbelts while the light requiring they be fastened was still illuminated, the official said.

"It was behavior that average passengers wouldn't do," the official said.

They are both being held on suspicion of murder, Detective Superintendent Martin Bottomley told a news conference this afternoon. Uzma Rahan, 32, was killed along with her sons Adam, 11, Abbas, 8, and daughter Henne, 6.

ALBANY, N.Y. - Duarnis Perez became an American citizen when he was 15, but he didn't find out until after he had been deported and then jailed for trying to get back into the country.

ADVERTISEMENT

He was facing his second deportation hearing when he learned he was already a U.S. citizen. Still, federal prosecutors fought to keep him in custody.

Last week, a federal judge scolded prosecutors for the mistake.

"In effect, the government is arguing that an innocent man who was wrongly convicted should not be released from the custody of the United States," U.S. District Judge Lawrence Kahn wrote. He ruled that Perez never should have been deported.

Is a new scheme an ambitious bid to tackle CO2 emissions or a gimmick to enhance its green credentials, asks Mark Tran


These are the best of times and the worst of times for BP. Profits have never been higher, with the UK oil giant reporting record second-quarter profits of $6.1bn (£3.3bn) last month.

At the same time, the company with a green and yellow logo to emphasise its environmentally-friendly credentials is under fire for its record in Alaska.

BP and its partners this week were served with a subpoena by the attorney general of Alaska, forcing them to "preserve" documentation connected with the corrosion of pipelines at Prudhoe Bay, where BP operates North America's largest oil field.

The move against BP and its co-owners, such as ExxonMobil, followed allegations that BP had manipulated inspection data to avoid having to replace parts of ageing pipelines.

Uh Stunt Woman, that relationship between the importance of the rules and the consequences for breaking them vary depending on time and circumstances. Current time and circumstances obviously dictate swifter and sterner consequences for the breaching of those rules. This is apparently agreed on by the governments, the airlines, and the majority of passengers (as indicated by the behavior of passengers on other flights recently). That is the simple reality of the situation.


GravatarYesterday's Froomkin

Michael Herman e-mails from Walla-Walla, Wash.: "Hi Dan. I did a little research on the books from Bush's reading list. Of the twelve books listed, I come up with a total page count of 5,356 pages, including 1,585 pages not available until at least 4/2006 of this year. That is an average page count of 450 pages per book. Multiply by his 60 books so far this year for a total page count of 27,000. 27,000 pages means the President would have to average a little over 115 pages per day. Reading a quick pace of a little over a minute per page, that is two hours a day of reading, and let's be honest, longer if you want to retain information in these types of books. And this from a man who prides himself in not reading the paper. I don't buy it."

GravatarGovernment warns of another winter of gas shortages

· Supplies limited by lack of storage capacity
· Big six have already raised prices at least 35% this year


The government gave a warning yesterday that Britain was heading into another winter of potential power shortages as one household gas supplier announced a record 30% increase in prices.

The energy minister, Malcolm Wicks, said rising demand and plunging output from North Sea fields cancelled out the benefits of new gas pipelines from Norway and the Netherlands.

"It's not going to be the easiest of winters and we need to manage this with care and make sure we get it right," said Mr Wicks from the sidelines of an energy industry conference in Norway. "It's looking the same as the last two or three years."

Dwindling output from the North Sea has turned the UK into a net importer after decades as an exporter of surplus gas. New pipelines were meant to relieve the pressure this year.

it may be the 'reality,' but it's hardly 'simple.'

there is one and only one purpose to the infliction of such indignities on airline passengers as have followed from the wholly imaginary threat from the alleged bombers caught in Britain:

to inure passengers--customers, CITIZENS--to further and further, more and more intrusive infringements upon their rights, mainly to privacy...

privacy is anathema in a totalitarian, even in an authoritarian, state...privacy means people can think unapproved, disloyal, seditious thoughts, which they might have the temerity to share with others, which would undermine the security of the State (regime)...

GravatarI'm going to be Pip from Great Expectations for Halloween.

Which of you wants to play my benefactor?


GravatarVictory in Iraq was supposed to be a pro-U.S., pro-Israel, representative democracy that would add its manpower and expertise in pursuit of the interests of the kindly and benevolent nation that had rescued it from the nightmare that was Baathism. Baathism would, of course, be exposed for the complete fraud it was since it would have failed to militarily resist the might of the United States armed forces. These Iraqis, who understand and respect only force, (it was argued) would thus reject, out of hand, the governing philosophy and all of its practitioners which had defined Iraq for the last thirty-some-odd years. The Shia, grateful for their deliverance, would welcome the once ruling Sunni back into the fold of Iraq as some sort of leaders emeriti and bygones would be bygones.

Now, how much of that does anyone think is still achievable? I submit that there is no victory as such in Iraq for the U.S. I doubt, however, that any of the national Democrats will feel they will be allowed to even suggest this. All this talk of re-deploying is a way to avoid admitting failure. In politics, you can accuse an opponent of failing, but one can never admit that soldiers die for nothing.


GravatarWeird. The crazy fundies got started crusading against textbooks and stuff mostly about the time I was finishing high school. At one time there was a much publicized case in nearby Kingsport. I wonder whatever happened to those loons.

That part is inarguably true. But I think you are reading a little too much in the over all motivation of the latest actions. Remember, these actions were instigated by the other passengers...not the airlines or authorities. They chipped in after the fact, and obviously had to put on a show of doing something. While I think some of the incidents in question are definately regrettable, I just don't think there is a realistic sinister agenda motivating them.

GravatarContrary to the movies, real pirates avoided fights whenever possible. Engaging the Royal Navy didn't pay, but did get you killed. They would use trickery and bribes to take prizes non-violently whenever possible, and try to scare the shit out of everybody to get them to give up without fighting, hence the jolly rogers, fearsome behavior, costumes, and reputation building. Sort of public relations. Blackbeard was the best at that, and basically scared the shit out of everybody.

Half right. The risk is negligible and the PASSENGERS are overreacting. But once they have overreacted the airlines and authority are pretty much stuck into following through with it because they can't take the chance of there being more to it than just hysterics, somebody getting killed, and then everybody coming down on them like a ton of bricks demanding "why didn't they do something when those brave passengers pointed out those terrorists before". That is their nightmare scenario. It's politics. While stupid, shortsighted, and often counterproductive...it isn't a cunning, cleverly realized, sinister plan. It's just what it is.

GravatarHaving had enough of Blackbeard, the Royal Navy sent a Lt. Robert Maynard after him with a task force of warships. They caught Blackbeard's ship on a shoal, killed him, and brought back his severed head hanging from the bowsprit of Maynard's boat. So who were the murderous killers? Depends on who you ask, I guess.

GravatarAfternoon, kiddos.

Beware of Republicans bearing voter registration forms!

Newcomer fears voter registration was scam


Having just moved from Franklin to the La Vergne area, William Beasley thought changing his voter registration was a good idea. So when a stranger in a store parking lot invited him to do so, the newcomer took advantage of the opportunity Wednesday.

"I had just moved and wanted to change my voter registration," Beasley said. "Here was a guy at Sam's; I thought he was legitimate." The man gave Beasley a voter registration form to fill out. After he completed it, the man informed him that he also had to sign a white piece of paper as well.

"I didn't look at what the paper said, but the guy with me read it, and it was a petition for the war and George Bush. I was mad because I wasn't signing what I thought I was signing. I was paranoid because I gave him my Social Security number and everything," he said.

Beasley then contacted a manger at Sam's, who directed the man to leave the premises.

GravatarCaesar largely stayed in the background during the ongoing rivarly between Crassus and Pompey. Crassus was jealous of Pompey's military glory, despite his enourmous wealth and political influence, the victor of Colline gate and the hero who crushed Spartacus's slave rebellion was being overshaowded by Pompey's militry triumps in the east, he took advantage of Pompey's absence from Rome to build up his own political power based, Caesar lent him his support for his intrigues but was more friendly to Pompey but he saw Crassus as a key stepping stone to political advancement, the Optimates (led by men such as Catalus, the Metelli, the two Luculli and Hortensius) were wary of Pompey's return however they did not make any overtures to Crassus or Caesar.


GravatarDoug, Cholla-ed,
The Crassus execution story certainly has an apocryphal odor about it: a half-case of Hormel chili probably would have done him in as well.

GravatarYeah, well, guzzling molten metal sounds like a pretty bad way to go. Just sayin'. They probably actually crucified him. That particular fun was apparently invented by the Persians, so the Parthians would have done it, too. As we all know, it was enthusiastically adopted by the Romans, who never missed a trick when it came to finding ways to brutally kill people.


Gravatarpiracy became a major problem after the Rhodes was defeated.

to deal with this problem Pompey was given the whole of the Med. Basin plus 50 miles inland.


GravatarWe were both wrong.


GravatarWoodyGuthrie'sGitarron i don't know


GravatarActually Crassus was killed in battle. He was already dead when they poured the gold down his mouth.


GravatarActually Crassus was killed in battle. He was already dead when they poured the gold down his mouth.


GravatarYeah, well, guzzling molten metal sounds like a pretty bad way to go.

Let's make dith drink a cup.


Gravatarthe Mediterrean pirates had bases on the inaccesaible and rocky coasts of Cilicia and Crete.

by the 70s and 60s (BC) pirates were not just a nuisance they could seriously affect food supplies and other comodies and virtually strangle trade.


Gravatarthe pirates were often backed by Mithridates, one of Rome's opponents.

Rome's earliest attempts to deal with the problem in 102 and again in 74 had achieved little; nor had the most recent effort from 68-67 by Quintus Metellus (Creticus) who formally added Crete as a province to the empire.


GravatarHey dith I saw two goats going at it for the last scrap of tin can to grind up their teeth and the insides of their mouths and I could tell they were Repukes because they were so ignorant and blockheaded that neither noticed that they already each had a lifetime supply of tin cans to eat just behind them but they just went at that last tin can sitting there because they just wanted to keep the other from having it and everyone stood around them and laughed because that's what we do with piss-stained, frightened, goatheaded, greedy, self centered,
Repukes.

Your time is coming, can't you feel it? More and more come to laugh at you, dith. It must really be painful to be shot down and laughed at in public so often that you have to anonymously post here your inane Red State bullshit. Dem
Red State's is a turning Blue come November
