Firefighters testify at Sotomayor hearing
2009-07-16 22:28:00 It has been compelling to watch two of the firefighters from Connecticut testify at the Senate hearings for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.I was especially moved to hear the story of the Latino firefighter Lt. Ben Vargas (recently featured on the New York Times) who testified he passed the firefighter test and missed out on an opportunity to be promoted to captain.I understand what he is saying and the sacrifices he made to pass the test and how he was inspired to do that for his children. The city of New Haven threw out the results of the test because not enough minorities passed."I was shocked when I was not rewarded for this hard work and sacrifice," he said.But let's...

She is smart, strong and has so far has answered the questions clearly and directly emphasizing her commitment to following the law. The Republicans, especially Sen. Jeff Sessions, a Republican from Alabama, tried to shake her but she is solid. Come on. She's a Puerto Rican woman from New York and has tried murder cases and even settled the baseball strike. The Republicans haven't made her crack yet and I don't think that they will.Here's a highlight of what she has said so far this morning.How did she respond to the criticism of the "wise Latina woman" quote?"I want to state upfront,...

The Reason You’re Not Hearing Much From Davos…
2009-01-30 20:40:00 The reason you’re not hearing much from Davos is that the building consensus among western political and business leaders makes Barack Obama look like a fool. Financial experts from all over the globe are standing up at the Davos economic summit and stating flatly that Obama’s plan, bill passed by Congress and now waiting approval from the Senate, won’t solve the issue. Example, Bloomberg: It’s “delusional” to expect the U.S. fiscal stimulus plan crafted by President Barack Obama to “jump start” the economy, Stephen Roach, Morgan Stanley Asia’s chairman, told a panel in Davos today. The executives polled by PricewaterhouseCoopers survey don’t see a turnaround soon. OK, granted that it’s also turned into a “See I told you so” session for Crazy Uncle Hugo, and his ilk… but that kind of nonsense is to be expected. they’re socialists, for Pete’s sake… they don’t understand anything else.

Tuesday Hearing on DPA Bill
2008-09-14 03:00:00 In a last ditch effort to save the important Down Payment Assistance program within FHA, there is a hearing Tuesday in Washington. What really surprised me in this article is that NAR still hasn't signalled it's support. If you're a REALTOR call your local and your state to tell them you want them to support DPA reinstatement. The most important thing for our industry is increasing demand, why would we be against any program that would increase demand?

Hearing loss is common in people with diabetes
2008-07-15 05:46:00 Hearing loss is about twice as common in adults with diabetes in comparison to those who do not have the disease, as per a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). "Hearing loss may be an under-recognized complication of diabetes. As diabetes becomes more common, the disease may become a more significant contributor to hearing loss," said senior author Catherine Cowie, Ph.D., of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), who suggested that people with diabetes should consider having their hearing tested. "Our study found a strong and consistent link between hearing impairment and diabetes using many different outcomes.".......

FCC to Hold Early Termination Fee Hearing Today
2008-06-12 21:04:00 U.S. Customers Could Look Forward To Nicer FeesThe FCC will hold an open meeting today (PDF) on the topic of Early Termination Fees, bringing in a variety of panelists to discuss the future of a thorny practice that, while rankling consumers, is claimed as necessary by the cellular service industry.Central to the discussion will be an industry-sponsored proposal that seeks to make massive changes in the way providers handle termination fees: under the proposed changes, customers would receive a 30-day grace period to cancel a contract after they sign it, and in the event of a terminated contract after that time, the applicable fees would be prorated down based on the contract's time remaining.Traditionally, cell phone companies charge the same termination fee regardless of where a customer is in their contract -- fees stay the same regardless of whether they are 60 days in, or only have 60 days left. This policy, combined with an increasingly skyward rise in the fees themselves, re...
