...Frederik Meijer Gardens Despite its seven-meter height, Nina Akamu's enormous bronze horse looks at home in the rolling green hills of western Michigan. Called The American Horse, it was inspired by a never-completed work of Leonardo da Vinci's and is one of over 180 pieces in the permanent collection. Works by the likes of Auguste Rodin, Edgar Degas and Andy Goldsworthy can also be found. Masterful landscaping lets you focus, for the most part, on just one work at a time. Sculptures are also complemented by variously themed gardens that are impressive in their own right...

But unlike Judd’s repeated metal rectangles, all of these bars are separate works, each a different height with a different Emily Dickinson quote embedded in the aluminum.

Recent analysis from Standard & Poor's (S&P) anticipates that a full 37.5% of such loans (dubbed option ARMs) that were written in 2007, at the height of lax lending, will eventually go bad. The kicker is that most option ARMs undergo payment spikes after five years, which means the brunt of the impact has yet to be felt. That will change in late 2010, delivering another blow to the fragile housing market just as it begins...
...ARMs, which don't hit their full reset stride until 2011. By the middle of next year, more then $10 billion worth of option ARMs will reset higher each month, according to data from mortgage tracker Loan Performance. That comes close to the figures we saw during subprime's height. (See the best business deals...
