Russ Marinello, a mortgage broker for Bay Counties Financial, says 80% of the mortgages he originates are jumbos--and no, it's not his specialty. The San Francisco area is unusually pricey. But jumbo creep is a broad issue. The breakpoint adjusts annually to match the rise in the national median home price, 5% last year.

According to Sanchez's research, the 18-in.-per-bottom measurement traditionally used by seat engineers is now considered obsolete. Puget Sound ferries that once seated 250 Seattle commuters comfortably have been forced to carry fewer passengers because of what was diagnosed, after some study, as posterior creep. A seating consultant has advised a Seattle theater that's under restoration to include a few dozen 24-in. seats, and is training staff members "how to make subtle overtures to obese patrons who might not be aware of the special seating available to them at the theater...
There is a wonderful scene in the early stages of Richard III when two murderers (Clarke and Thandi Parris '02) creep into the bedchamber of the Duke of Clarence (Jeremy Bronson '02). The theatrical chemistry between Clarke and Parris first evidenced is later fully realized in their final confrontation as Richard and Richmond...

The stars shared the Best Actress prize at Cannes last year, and both are brilliant. But Bouchez's expressive face lets you speed-read each of a dozen moods in a few seconds. That's innate screen genius...
...beauty of this mechanistic vision of mathematics was that it eliminated all need for thought or judgment. As long as the axioms were true statements and as long as the rules of inference were truth preserving, mathematics could not be derailed; falsehoods simply could never creep in. Truth was an automatic hereditary property of theoremhood...
