SWINE FLU CASES ARE RISING

SWINE FLU CASES ARE RISING Cases of Swine flu are on the rise. What I don’t understand is I see people on the news still traveling to Mexico. Don’t they realize that this is not something to mess with? I understand they made there plans before the out break was serious who knows how long the Swine Flu was going around in Mexico. This Swine Flu is going to turn into a Pandemic if people don’t take this more serious and stop traveling to Mexico. That is why you are supposed to get travel insurance. Come on people this is serious. LM

Debt settlement: A precious way to financial freedom

Do you think that negotiating away your bills is the best solution? But I think that hiring an expert to help you is sometimes as good as doing it yourself.

If you are thinking to pay your due bills and looking for a great solution, there are so many you have to come across such as some professional offers from debt settlement companies who would offer you debt solutions for a fee. This might be sounding like a scam to you or probably, you would be thinking whether this is the breakthrough you were looking for or not.



To tell you the facts, opting for debt settlement is indeed, a greater option than at least filing a bankruptcy and is very much a legal solution. However, the catch is that debt settlement companies are not trustworthy; besides, their fees are overemphasized, generally. You need be on your guard.

Cell Phone Madness

One short story.....I was waiting to turn right onto South Bascom Avenue, in San Jose the other day when I actually counted SEVEN of the nine cars I had to wait for...all with the drivers clearly on the cell phone. Several times this past week I've noticed this..;.one or two drivers at a time..both gabbing on the cell or texting while driving. If I were a COP my ticket book would be filled up.

Obama's mortgage plan - A hope for US real estate market

In United States of America, the ratio of owned property has always outweighed rented property. Prior to subprime mortgage crisis, the real estate market in USA favored investments. Therefore, buying a property was a good investment. The prevailing condition in the real estate market depends greatly on housing demand. A mild fluctuation can affect the housing market to a great extent.



Not only did the mortgage defaults attribute to the economic slowdown but credit card defaults added to the credit crunch too. Recent reports suggest that many consumers wanted to refinance their existing mortgage loans as the interest rates were low. The trend however subsided and the number of refinance application greatly reduced.

President Obama recently announced a new mortgage plan which hopefully will help the real estate market in United States of America to recover. Many have pinned their hopes on the new mortgage program. Under the new mortgage plan, it will be possible for homeowners to refinance their existing mortgage loans at a lower rate of interest, one of the key aspects included in the mortgage plan.

PIRATES ARE MAD

PIRATES ARE MAD Somali pirates are mad, because three of their men were killed Sunday after the rescue of American ship captain Richard Phillips of the Maersk Alabama. These pirates are targeting American Ships and they want to kill everyone they can capture. I don’t think is going to happen. America and other countries should be monitoring the pirates and capturing them. I can’t believe the gall of these pirates, they have lost their mind if they think the world is going take their craziness anymore. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090415/ap_on_re_af/piracy LM

Real estate in USA before subprime mortgage crisis

The economy of United States has always been very buoyant due to a very high employment rate and low interest rates. A housing bubble was developing over the years, which ultimately burst giving rise to the subprime mortgage crisis.

Since getting credit and mortgage loan had become easier, the market condition was very ripe for buying a property. There were subprime lenders who gave loan to consumers who did not deserve to get one. Many real estate operators had left no stones unturned to manipulate eligibility documents for a mortgage loan.



People thought that they could refinance their mortgage in the event of default. As long as the interest rates were down, buying a property still seemed feasible. Instances of loan defaults increased and number of foreclosures escalated in an alarming rate.

Many companies had to close down their shutters due to bad lending practices. For e.g, BNC Mortgage LLC, a subprime lending unit of Lehman Brothers had to close down due to the economic slowdown.

CYBERSPIES THREATEN OUR U.S. POWER GRID

CYBERSPIES THREATEN OUR U.S. POWER GRID


What is China, Russia and other countries mission navigating the U.S.
electrical power grid? If the U.S. knows about this why aren’t they doing
anything to prevent this from happening? I feel that with our technology
this should not be happening. The U.S. better get on the ball and put some
safe guards in place before something major happens. To think that if
other countries have the power to turn off our power anytime they feel
like it is crazy. Here is a prime example on 4-9-09 in Northern California
in three counties someone deliberately cut the fiber optics phone lines.
Land lines, Internet, Wireless Phones, Banks, Stores, Hospitals, and 911
they were all affected. It was like going back to when there were no
phones. Business lost a lot of money on that day.
