Crash In US Home Prices May Resume - In-Depth Look

Crash In US Home Prices May Resume

Buyers rush to meet tax deadline as US home prices edge up 0.8 per cent in April

NEW YORK, N.Y. - American home prices in April rose for the first time in seven months as government tax incentives helped to bolster the housing market.

The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index released Tuesday posted an 0.8 per cent gain. It had fallen in each of the past six months.

Eighteen of 20 cities showed price increases month over month. Only Miami and New York recorded price declines.

The gains highlight the impact of the federal tax credits for homebuyers. Buyers rushed to purchase before the tax credits expired at the end of April.

Nationally, prices have risen 3.8 per cent from their April 2009 bottom. But they remain 30 per cent below their July 2006 peak.


Interview and discussion with Laurie Goodman of the Amherst Securities, talking about the housing market.

Verizon iPhone Coming in next January? Wait a Just a Moment!

Verizon iPhone is a phrase.

The iPhone is coming to Verizon. Like, for real this time. It'll happen next January. Or maybe sometime this summer. Either way, it's practically a guarantee. Because, you know, sources with close knowledge of the situation have confirmed it.

If you find yourself shaking your head and sighing, you aren't alone. The Verizon iPhone rumors, reignited this week thanks to a new report by Bloomberg, have been floating around for years. And every time a fresh one emerges, the Internet and more than a few investors erupt in excitement.

The latest rumor, in case you haven't heard, is that Verizon will start selling Apple's iPhone in January of 2011. The info comes from -- you guessed it -- "people familiar with the plans."

Hey, it could be true. But just for some perspective, I thought I'd dig up some of the past instances where we've heard equally certain-sounding predictions about the iPhone's big future on Big Red.

Take a deep breath -- here we go.

September 2008: The iPhone Will Reach Verizon in Early 2009.

Back in the fall of 2008, Apple blog 9to5Mac.com published a report suggesting the iPhone would make its Verizon debut in 2009, possibly as early as January.

Citing a tipster who had "Verizon insider credentials," the blog said Apple was in final negotiations with Verizon and should have everything locked down by the end of the year.

April 2009: Scratch That -- The Verizon iPhone Is On for Early 2010.

After the early '09 Verizon iPhone rumor didn't pan out, it didn't take long for some new scuttlebutt to take its place. Last spring, the hot news was that 2009's iPhone would be the last one exclusive to AT&T, and the Verizon model would launch sometime in 2010.

October 2009: Oh Yeah! 70 Percent Chance of a Verizon iPhone in 2010.

The odds heated up in October when Piper analyst Chris Larsen predicted there was a 70 percent chance of Verizon getting the iPhone in 2010. In related news, your local TV weatherman predicts there's a 70 percent chance of it raining tomorrow; both numbers are equally meaningful.

October 2009: Can We Make That Late 2010?

That same month, Wall Street analyst Brian Marshall told clients Apple would bring its baby over to Verizon sometime in the second half of 2010.

Marshall, by the way, also said this past January that Apple's then-upcoming tablet -- what we now know as the iPad -- would utilize Verizon's data network. He even cited sources close to the situation.

"The tablet will be supported by multiple [mobile] carriers," Marshall said. "Definitely Verizon. I've been told that's a certainty."

January 2010: Hang On -- The Verizon iPhone Is Happening This Month!

Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek -- who may or may not now hold the title of "Canaccord Adams mail boy" -- went on the record in January as saying that Apple would be announcing a Verizon iPhone at its mysterious "latest creation" event (which, of course, turned out to be all about the iPad).

"Together with our semi-conductor partners, we have ascertained that there is a reasonable chance the Asian supply chain is prepping for mass production of a new iPhone in March, for availability in late Q2, likely June," Misek stated, as reported by the gang at All Things Digital. "The phone will be carried on Verizon and hence will operate on the CDMA network."

Whoops.

March 2010: OK, That Didn't Work. Let's Try Late 2010 Again.

Our ever-popular "people familiar with matters" piped up again in March, saying that a CDMA-ready version of the iPhone would hit assembly lines in September. Well, all righty, then. It's settled.

Unless...

May 2010: Maybe It'll Be In Early 2011?

Everyone's favorite analyst, Brian Marshall -- remember, the late-2010-for-iPhone-and-definitely-Verizon-for-iPad guy from above? -- came out of hiding last month to toss yet another bold prediction out into the world.

This time, Marshall said the Verizon iPhone would happen in the first quarter of 2011. He left out words like "certainty" and "definitely" this go-round, though.

What's next -- Marshall making predictions about when he'll next make predictions? Good grief.

Also in May: Verizon's Working on an iPhone Ad Campaign, and AT&T Actually Has the iPhone Till 2012.

Hmm. How about we just say these last two rumors cancel each other out?

In the end, at least you can take comfort in this: The Verizon iPhone, if it actually is happening, is probably still several months away. And that means you have plenty of time to master the magical four-fingered grip you'll need to get the damn thing to work.

Lance Armstrong's this year's Tour de France will be his last - posted on his Twitter page

It's been a great ride. Looking forward to 3 great weeks.
 
Lance Armstrong's official Twitter account says this year's Tour de France will be the cyclist's last.

"And yes, this will be final Tour de France. It's been a great ride. Looking forward to 3 great weeks," the post says.

In May, Armstrong shot down allegations from former teammate Floyd Landis that he used performance-enhancing drugs. Also in May, Armstrong was taken to a hospital after crashing in the Tour of California race.

Armstrong is a record-holder in the cycling world and also famous as a cancer survivor.

He won seven Tour de France titles in 1999-2005, and he beat cancer after it had spread to his lungs and brain. He launched the Livestrong Foundation in 1997. The foundation makes the popular yellow bracelet accessory and has raised more than $325 million toward fighting cancer, according to its website.

Armstrong placed third in the 2009 Tour de France after a four-year hiatus from the race.

A Tribute to one of the greatest ever cyclists, Lance Armstrong. In 1996, Armstrong was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer. Given a less than 20% chance of survival, he beat the disease and went on to win seven straight Tour de France titles.

Apple Responds to iPhone 4 'Death Grip' Reports

Reports of the demise of Apple's newest device have been greatly exaggerated
Click visit source website
The problem surfaced first in Engadget, a U.S.-based gadget site, early Thursday morning, less than an hour after Apple (AAPL) launched the iPhone 4 in North America.

By Sunday, the London Daily Mail was quoting Steve Jobs to the effect that the entire shipment might have to be recalled -- a report that was scrubbed from the paper's website when the editors discovered that its only source was a Twitter message that was clearly not written by Steve Jobs.

The issue, if there are any readers who have not yet heard, is the iPhone 4's tendency to lose signal strength when held in the so-called "Death Grip" -- with the gap between two sections of its novel external antenna array covered by the left hand.

"Non issue," the real Steve Jobs e-mailed one customer on Thursday. "Just avoid holding it that way."

By Sunday, Jobs had changed his tune:

    "There is no reception issue, " he told a second e-mail correspondent. "Stay tuned."

That's a message Apple's PR department seemed to have missed when it released its official statement on the matter:

    "Gripping any phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases."

That explanation was immediately seized upon as evidence of "discrimination" at Apple by a spokesperson for the Left-Handed Club, who suggested that Steve Jobs might begin employing more left-handers in his design and product-testing departments.

Meanwhile, several antenna experts have stepped forward -- one who warned of a potential problem weeks before the phone was released -- to offer contradictory theories about what's really going on.

How will the saga end?
 
Apple Responds to The iPhone 4's apparent reception seems to decrease when you hold the phone in your hands (around the antennas).

Jobs' second e-mail implies that something will happen soon, and that it probably won't be a recall.

Apple might solve its PR and technological problems, Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu told his clients Friday, by giving customers discounts on its $29 iPhone 4 Bumper case.

An alternative theory maintains that the issue is software-, not hardware-related. According to Roughly Drafted's Daniel Eran Dilger, who cites comments since removed from the Apple's tech support forums, the company is preparing a firmware update -- perhaps as early as Monday -- that would change the way the phone calibrates its baseband frequency and, with any luck, make the problem go away. Stay tuned.

Roadable Aircraft or "Flying Car" Gets FAA Approval to Move Towards Reality by Terracugia, Inc.,

Flying Car : Just like the Jetsons -- gets green light from FAA
 Developer of the Transition Roadable Aircraft, Terrafugia, Inc., or "Flying Car", has received an exemption from the FAA to allow the Transition a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 1430 pounds (650 kg). This additional weight accommodates the structure and equipment necessary for compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) which are not found in other Light Sport Aircraft. Items such as airbags, an energy absorbing crumple zone, and a protective safety cage will increase  both on the road and in the air. Exclusively applicable to the Transition ® , the FAA's grant of an additional 110 pounds will allow a competitive useful load while providing a revolutionary level of crash safety in a Light Sport Aircraft. 

 .
 
Not a flying car, but a roadable aircraft, the Terrafugia Transition took flight for the first time March 5, 2009. Visit http://www.avweb.com and search for "Terrafugia" for more..

By giving pilots a convenient ground transportation option, the Transition reduces the cost, inconvenience, and weather sensitivity of personal aviation. In addition to the enhanced protection afforded by applying automotive crash safety technology to light planes, the Transition ® reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of potentially flying into marginal conditions.

Classified as a Light Sport Aircraft, the Transition ® requires a Sport Pilot certificate to fly and is designed to drive on public roadways and park in a standard garage. Terrafugia successfully completed flight and drive testing of its Proof of Concept Transition ® in 2009. Refundable airframe reservations are being accepted with first delivery scheduled for late 2011.

Actress Megan Fox Secretly past and past part (wed) to Brian Austin Green!John Mayer tries out comedy again; Daryl Hannah slams adopting stars who hire nannies
Megan Fox's representative has confirmed the actress is now married to Brian Austin Green after the couple wed in a secret ceremony in Hawaii last week.
The "Transformers" beauty, 24, became engaged to Green, 36, for a second time in early June during a romantic beach vacation in Hawaii.
But the actors decided not to waste any time in exchanging vows - and on Tuesday morning, it was reported they had become man and wife after marrying at the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort on the paradise island.

.
Megan Fox gets hitched to Brian Austin Green in Hawaii.
 A source told Star magazine, "They had a fairly large wedding, but there were clearly more security people than guests... They had to call in local security because the hotel security alone wouldn't do. It was very hush hush. Everyone was sworn to secrecy.

"It seemed like a spur of the moment thing. I don't think it had been planned long."

And Fox's spokesperson reveals the rumors are true, telling People.com: "Yes they are married."

The on/off couple, which began dating in 2004, called off its original plans to marry in February 2009 after a two-year engagement, but reunited months later.NEWLYWEDS Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green “belong” together — their friends say.

The couple — who have dated on and off for several years — tied the knot last month in Hawaii.

And their nearest and dearest are adamant the pair’s marriage will be one of the longest-lasting in Hollywood.

“They are beyond happy, and they seem so comfortable together,” a source said.

“They decided a long time ago that they belonged with each other.”

Meanwhile, it’s claimed that Megan is keen to start breeding now that she’s a wife.

Megan loves family life and is delighted to finally have that wedding ring on her finger,” said a source close to the star.

“She loves playing step-mom to Brian’s son Kassius and says it would be a blessing if she could have a baby of her own.”

Megan, 24, has previously discussed her maternal side.

“I am a stepmother to the fullest extent,” she said earlier this year. “I have looked after Kassius since he was three and he has no memory of life without me.

“For some reason, no one wants to look at me that way, but I am responsible for him and I’ve never struggled with that, from bedtime stories to the school run.

“I’ve only been with two men my entire life. My childhood sweetheart and Brian. I can never have sex with someone that I don’t love, ever. The idea makes me sick. I’ve never even come close to having a one-night stand.”

Lauryn Hill Is "The Act Of Going Uut" About Performing Again

Lauryn Hill Finally Come Out Of Retirement? She Addresses Concept In Rare Interview  
Lauryn Hill made a huge impact on the music scene when she broke out from the Fugees and went solo with her acclaimed 1998 debut The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Already a bona fide star with the New Jersey hip-hop trio, the husky-voiced rapper and singer launched into the pop culture stratosphere with Miseducation, which soared to the top of the charts. The album went on to score a record-setting five Grammy Awards, and Hill became one of the biggest artists in the world.
hen, she basically vanished. She released MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 in 2002, and the music world waited for Fugees reunion that never fully materialized. Aside from popping up on an occasional festival date or worrying fans with an eccentric performance, Hill was largely gone from the spotlight. The singer recently opened up to NPR about why she stopped releasing music, blaming both personal issues and her feelings about the music industry.
 The Miseducation of  Artist Lauryn Hill - Song: Everything Is Everything Albm:  
 "There were things about myself, personal-growth things, that I had to go through in order to feel like it was worth it," Hill told NPR News. "In fact, as musicians and artists, it's important we have an environment — and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the [music] industry that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society, or at least some aspect of society. And it's important that people be given the time that they need to go through, to grow, so that the consciousness level of the general public is properly affected. Oftentimes, I think people are forced to make decisions prematurely."

The star initially established herself as a lyrical powerhouse, but Hill revealed that if she were to head back in the studio, her next project would showcase her vocal chops. "I'm trying to open up my range and really sing more," she said. "With the Fugees initially, and even with Miseducation, it was very hip-hop — always a singing over beats. I don't think people have really heard me sing out. So, if I do record again, perhaps it will have an expanded context, where people can hear a bit more."

Hill, who is billed as a "very special guest" at this summer's Rock the Bells tour, told NPR that she's able to ramp up her work schedule now that her children are growing up. "I have five children. The youngest is 2 now, so she's old enough that I can leave her for a period of time and know she's going to be OK." Family obligations aside, the reclusive star also confessed that she's ready to get back in the game.
"I think it's just time," said Hill. "I'm starting to get excited again."
This report is from MTV News.

ROBIN Williams staking all on a small chance for Batman movie!

ROBIN Williams desiring very much to act as star in the next Batman  movie.
The Hollywood legends says he’d love to play the The Riddler when the caped-crusader makes another big screen outing.

“I would do Batman in a second,” said the 58-year-old.

“I’d play The Riddler in the next one, although it would be hard to top Heath Ledger as the villain and I’m a little hairy for tights.”

Williams says he’ll ask for the role in what will be director Christopher Nolan’s third Batman caper.

But the Old Dogs star is wary — he was offered The Joker and The Riddler in the past but was twice overlooked.

Robin recently revealed he feels “like a cow” following his lifesaving heart surgery a year ago.

“I have a cow heart and the best thing about being part cow is that I can crap when I walk now,” he said earlier this year.

“But I find it hard to eat beef. It’s like I’m one of them!”

Medicare Funding Cut Affects Practices And Patients

Medicare is a social insurance program administered by the United States government, providing health insurance coverage to people who are aged 65 and over, or who meet other special program.

President Barack Obama has signed a bill that temporarily spares doctors from a 21 percent cut in Medicare payments.

The measure delays cuts through the end of November while lawmakers work on a more permanent solution.

There was some urgency to approve the $6.5 billion bill. Medicare officials announced last week that the program would begin processing claims it had already received for June at the lower rate.

The money had been part of a larger bill to extend unemployment benefits for laid-off workers and provide states with billions of dollars to avert layoffs. That bill has been blocked by Senate Republicans because of the cost.

Argentina VS Mexico
(52) - 27/06/10 - 2:30pm EDT > Soccer City Johannesburg


Arguably, no team has played better in South Africa than the squad from Argentina. While scoring no goals, Lionel Messi has had a sublime string of performances, setting up virtually every goal for his side in each game. They tore through their group, getting all nine points and dispatching teams with seven goals while only allowing one on a defensive lapse.

Mexico came into this tournament as a cusp team with great offensive talent, but in a group where Uruguay and France looked better on paper. No more is Jared "The Desert Fox" Borgetti in front to head away crosses so Mexico would have to turn to its young trio of Dos Santos, Hernandez, and Carlos Vela. What this trio has lacked in experience is made up for in talent, as the Mexican counterattack has shown to be one of the best in the tournament, and more than two goals should have been scored from this Mexican side.

This matchup is extremely entertaining on paper, as both countries have reputations for being "glass cannons" (strong on attack, but very weak defensively). Every year there is one team that becomes everyone's favorite because of how they begin the tournament and then they fizzle out like a whimper in the knockout stages because they run into a team better tested. Against what may be conventional wisdom, I think Mexico have what it takes to defend against the Argentinian attack, whereas Argentina have not yet played a difficult side. Also, don't forget that it took one of the best goals in World Cup History to defeat the Mexicans in 2006 (pictured). I believe that a major revenge factor is put in play here as Mexico will work for retribution of that moment in Germany. Maradona will be wishing he brought along defenders Cambiasso and Zanetti because he will find difficulty controlling the forwards of "El Tri."

Final Result: Argentina 3 :: 1 Mexico




Germany come into this match up after showing mixed results. After a four-nil demolition of an old Australian side, Germany were outmanned by a strong Serbian defense and a referee who I'm sure won't be welcome in Berlin or Munich anytime soon. Still, thanks to a wonderful strike by rising star Mesut Ozil against Ghana, the Germans won their difficult group and now find themselves with their striker Miroslav Klose back in a matchup against their European rivals.

Unlike Germany, who have seen more successes than failures, England has certainly not had the best experience in South Africa. The parts are certainly bigger than the whole, with Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, and especially Frank Lampard showing shells of their talent. Still, in the end they progressed as imagined and would have won the group had it not been for the heroics of Landon Donovan. Furthermore, England have only conceded one goal and that was no thanks to goalkeeper Robert Green.

Germany came into this World Cup with flaws, and England did not. However, the two have virtually switched fortunes and this seems to be a German win. However, England simply has more talent, and their defense has still been stout even without Rio Ferdinand in the back line. The goalkeeper howler came early, and I think the Germans are more worried about this matchup than England is. England have the better midfield and can control this game, making this is a disappointing exit for the young German side.

Who Makes The "Elite Eight"? FIFA World Cup 2010 - Knockout Kicks

The 2010 FIFA World Cup has created many surprises in the First round of the tournament. Most notably, both finalists of 2010, Italy and France, have fallen like a house of cards in groups that were very winnable. Still, the Round of 16 is generally the moment where the "better" sides end up progressing and moving towards the point of glory. Who is in prime position to win each match up?

Uruguay vs. South Korea

Uruguay's roundingup towards the Round of 16 is of surprise to no one because of their disciplined defensive style and two superstars up front in Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez. However, few would have bet them actually winning the group including France and Mexico and setting themselves up in this prime position against a seemingly weak South Korea team.

Except that this Asian powerhouse has shown to be a tough nut to crack, defeating a Greek side and holding Nigeria to a draw to send them through to the knockout stages. Furthermore, their attacking style has arguably made them the most entertaining group to watch, as Manchester United's Park Ji-Sung has shown to be the perfect orchestrator in their side.

While the heart of a soccer fan would like South Korea to win, because they do play a very attacking-oriented style, they simply are outclassed against a tough Uruguay defense. And with the striking partnership up front, I feel that this run for South Korea is over in 2010.

Final Result: Uruguay 3 :: 1 South Korea

USA vs. Ghana

As a fan of the USA, I like the style the Americans played at. In my precursor to the World Cup I warned fans that the group was weak, because we were in it and not the other way around. Well this weak group is now won thanks in large part to the heroics of now soon-to-be rich Landon Donovan and certainly not the officiating. The talent of the United States is undeniable in the midfield with Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley, supporting Donovan, all contributing the goals for the American team.

Ghana have restored African blushes at the World Cup, being the only African team to advance to the knockout round. Certainly, the crowd will be behind the Ghanaians in hopes of a deep run into the tournament for at least one member of the Confederation. Asamoah Gyan has scored two goals from the spot, meaning this team know how to take advantage of opportunities given to them.

In the end, Ghana's lack of Michael Essien and a weakened Sulley Muntari give the United States a major edge in this game. Ghana have played bright with their attacking style, however both goals have come from penalty kicks. The United States have also played very well in this tournament so far, rebounding from early defensive lapses to put on some entertaining displays even for a neutral fan. And this all without one of their strikers actually scoring a goal. I think this streak ends this game and the United States roll on, much to the chagrin of the African continent.

Final Result: USA 2 :: 1 Ghana
