...foreclosure data shows that many high-end homeowners are running out of resources for keeping their homes. That means the portion of the home market with the most expensive houses is beginning to collapse. If it follows the pattern of the rest of the sector, prices will correct downward quickly and brutally. The housing crisis will have moved to upper tier property which will push down overall home prices even more. Banks will take back more foreclosed houses. Those that they seize this time will just be larger and more opulent...
...system similar to Nixon's - but failed to bring aboard moderate Republicans, who favored a universal system based on requiring individuals rather than employers to participate. In the 2008 campaign, Obama and Hillary Clinton proposed plans that looked very much like the 1993 Republican scheme - do you detect a pattern here? - and the congressional debate, which will take place this summer, begins there...
...custom, Belquis Roshan, a woman on Farah's provincial council, told TIME by telephone. But if the higher total is confirmed, it would amount to the deadliest single attack on civilians since the American-led invasion that ousted the Taliban in 2001.

Of that figure, pro-government forces were responsible for 828 deaths. (See how Afghanistan's travails have been interpreted by local artists...

His 2007 installation, “as = poaching the poachers” at New York’s Rivington Arms, for example, consisted of objects like the ones listed above placed next to each other without an immediately apparent pattern. It explored and challenged the binary relationship between space and object, optical and tactile perceptions. “What art is is based on each individual, how it’s understood and its day-to-day interpretations,” Bader said in an interview. “It?...
...paper in Nature, published by the same team at CHOP along with scientists at numerous other institutions, looked at a specific kind of genetic change: deletions and duplications of genes. While there are many such changes associated with autism, most are very rare. This paper, however, found an intriguing pattern among two genes already linked to autism and nine newly identified targets. Most play a role in two key systems in the brain. One is the same brain-wiring system - neural cell adhesion - implicated in the first paper. The second is a set of housekeeping proteins - the ubiquitin system - that...
