Junk Science in Spite of the Public Interest
2012-01-05 18:17:00 The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has long used hyperbole to discourage the public from consuming sugar and sugar alternatives—or really, any foods that taste good. (This is the group that deemed fettuccine alfredo a “heart attack on a plate,” after all.) Now CSPI is using the same tricks to frighten consumers away from a new no-calorie, stevia-based sweetener. The Wall Street Journal reports that CSPI is concerned that this sweetener may cause cancer, but the research CSPI cites apparently took place before the specific sweetener was even developed. But why let small details get in the way of yet another “maybe it’s carcinogenic” claim? If this refrain sounds like a familiar tune, you might recall that last year CSPI also linked 4-methylimidazole (caramel coloring used in some soft drinks) with cancer. The news media was quick to pick up the story, but often failed to notice what CSPI conveniently omitted– that researchers gave the rodents an ultr...

SEK Strengthens Despite Interest Rate Cut
2011-12-21 08:26:00 Source: ForexYard SEK Strengthens Despite Interest Rate Cut The SEK was up after the Riksbank lowered interest rates to 1.75% from 2.00%. There are two explanations for this counterintuitive move in the SEK.

We Shine the Spotlight on PERSON OF INTEREST Star Kevin Chapman
2011-12-16 16:38:00 When talking to star Kevin Chapman about his role as Detective Lionel Fusco on PERSON OF INTEREST, one thing becomes quickly clear: he loves every second working on one of primetimes’ hottest new TV shows. Sharing what drew him to the show initially, Kevin did not hesitate to mention it was the high caliber of creators, writers and co-actors that made it so appealing for him. Truth be told, it has become a dream job for him and he feels excited each time he gets a new script. In fact, each episode reads like a page-turning mystery story and he is utterly thrilled to find himself right smack in the middle of it. To work on a show where there is this nearly omnipresent machine that generates numbers corresponding to a person whose life is on the line, is like working in the Land of Oz — and our heroes take turns being the man behind the curtain to save those people’s lives that have entered the cross-hairs of fate. PERSON OF INTEREST is a wonderful twist ...

Blackberry Dominates The Online Interest In Smartphones
2011-05-30 06:38:00 A new research by ViziSense reveals that Blackberry is the most favorite smartphone for those, who search for mobile phones online. The study has been conducted based on data from different e-commerce websites between January and April, 2011. The search queries by users on these e-commerce sites were taken into account. The study shows that 35 % users searched for Nokia handsets, 30 % searched for Samsung and 29% searched for Blackberry handsets. Micromax secured the fourth position as 22% of users searched for it. A close analysis into this study focuses on the difference between smartphone and other mobile devices.

Secondly, in India, the total share of smartphone market is relatively less than that of feature phones. But even then, whopping 44 % online users showed interest in purchasing smartphones via the e-commerce portals. This finding bridges the gul...

Mortgage Interest Deduction In The Sights Of Deficit Reduction

If you look at page 26 you will see that one proposal is to eliminate the deduction for second homes, home equity loans, and mortgages over $500,000. What's not clear is do they literally mean if your mortage is over $500,000 you can't deduct any of the interest or just the portion that is attributable to the mortgage over $500,000? And if it's the latter how would you calculate that? Could get complicated. Of course, the mortgage interest...
This Month in Real Estate – Interest Rates Hit Historic Low
2010-10-27 22:31:00 The housing market continues its slow recovery without the aid of the now expired tax credit. Sales are slower but growing, and prices remain on par with last year’s levels. Interest rates also hit a new historic low, a major factor in helping keep mortgage payments low, which is expected to spur sales. The economy shone a bit brighter in September. It grew faster during the second quarter than expected, and companies continued to hire. Experts believe there is now less risk of a double-dip recession. Now, the Federal Reserve Board’s challenge is not if the economy will grow but how fast. Driven by concerns that inflation is low, the Fed began purchasing treasury securities on a small scale. It used this tactic at the height of the recession to help draw down the interest rate and boost spending. Experts anticipate both the economy and the housing market will continue their path on the way to a complete recovery. This march back up provides excellent opportunities: an ample sele...

Is The Mortgage Interest Deduction Doomed?
2010-10-26 14:07:00 I've never quite understood why home mortgage interest is tax deductible. It seems to me like the government shouldn't be in the business of subsidizing people's lifestyles - the bigger the home that you buy the bigger the subsidy you get. And this is unlike any other purchase you make. If you buy your groceries on a credit card and end up paying interest on that debt you can't deduct it. Similarly, you can't deduct the interest on a car loan. The only explanation I've ever heard is that the more people that own homes the less likely they are to riot in the streets. Oh...and I guess the banks and the National Association of Realtors are pretty powerful...

2010-09-15 14:00:00 Commandments of Men had a discussion on "Love is an Choice". I think we can agree with how some people use that phrase, and others frankly use it as a tool of manipulation and guilt. I don't deny that a part of loving is a choice, but it must be emphasized that it is indeed only a part of the larger equation. Love, itself, isn't really a choice at all. To ACT upon it, or to ACT in a loving manner even when devoid of emotion and feelings of love, is a choice - not love in and of itself. Love, in and of itself, is only a verb in a portion of it's meaning. TO love is a verb. I'm afraid the phrase "love is a choice" ultimately devalues the emotional aspect and power of love, and I don't believe for a second that this is something God wants. It also makes for the fodder of warfare for authoritarian types. My ex, for instance, was coerced into believing that she'd made a "choice" to love me, a choice which she could "correct".A Wife's Submission, Charis wrote a pi...

So get in before the competition comes.*************************-*******************************-*******************************-************The Fed's surprise move of raising the rate it charges banks for emergency loans by a quarter-percentage point to 0.75% has bond investors rattled. While this move does not directly impact 30 year fixed rates, many economists believe that this is another signal that the central bank's extremely low rates are on the way out. Couple this with the Fed's plan of scaling back the expanded mortgage-backed securities purchase program that they have pursued for the last 15 months, and it becomes quite clear that 30 year fixed rates will be rising from the 5.000%ish range that home buyers have become used to. Now is the time to act! Rates are still low, invent...

Red Sox Will Have Interest In Aroldis Chapman
2009-09-23 13:41:00 Expect the Red Sox to have interest in 21-year-old lefty Aroldis Chapman when he becomes a free agent, according to Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald and ESPN's Amy K. Nelson. The Yankees are also expected to be in the mix. Will the Sox attempt to buy up all the hotel rooms in Andorra? Chapman may be granted free agency before the playoffs. The bidding could exceed $40MM, and Chapman could potentially sign before the regular free agent signing period begins. Nelson talked to Chapman's agent Edwin Leonel Mejia, who plans to hold private workouts in Europe. Aside from the Red Sox and Yankees, Silverman names the Angels and Rangers as likely suitors. The Orioleswere connected to Chapmanin July, but the BaltimoreSun's Jeff Zrebiec didn't expect them to join a bidding war. Mejia explained Chapman's preference to Silverman: "He simply wants to go with whatever team wants him the most."
