Asia stocks recover on global rate cut hopes
|
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Asian stocks outside Japan rose for the first time in four days on Tuesday while the yen and government bond prices fell after a surprisingly large interest rate cut by Australia's central bank raised hopes that other policymakers would follow suit. Major European stock markets were expected to open as much as 2.3 percent higher, according to financial bookmakers, with investors seen scooping up beaten down shares. Panic that U.S. and European governments have not yet

In Keating, Ethics Committee primarily went after Cranston
|
It’s a bit surreal to see an article from 1991 about the Keating Five scandal next to an ad for the Toyota Prius. Apparently the Chicago Tribune decided to digitally archive the now-relevant piece for old times’ sake. The Ethics Committee made clear that Alan Cranston was the senator who was most at fault, and seemed to have brought everyone else in: In a unanimous opinion, the six-member bipartisan committee said there is “substantial credible evidence” that “Cranston engaged in an impermis

Should McCain Live Down the Keating Five?
|
So Obama’s campaign went on the offensive and posted a video on McCain’s ties with Charles Keating of the infamous Savings and Loan scandals. Essentially, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board wanted to investigate Lincoln Savings and Loan Association for “unsound lending practices”. Five senators, all of whom had been given contributions by Lincoln Savings and Loans chairman Keating, intervened and prevented this investigation. One of these senators was John McCain. What preempted this? Lincoln S

FL-21: Diaz-Balart Leads Martinez by 5
|
Carlos McDonald/Telemundo51 (9/27-10/1, likely voters): Raul Martinez (D): 43 Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-inc): 48 Undecided: 9 (MoE: ?5.7%) One thing from the crosstabs doesn't jive: Diaz-Balart is leading Martinez by 48-44 among men, but apparently Martinez has a 49-43 lead among women. It makes no sense at all for Diaz-Balart to have a five point lead with a breakdown like that, so I think it's reasonable to conclude that Telemundo51 must have accidentally flipped the female numbers between t

Recent Listening: Ted Nash
|
Ted Nash, The Mancini Project (Palmetto). The multi-reed star of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra finds the jazz core of fourteen Henry Mancini songs or themes from films and television shows. There are familiar melodies here, but Nash avoids some obvious choices--the Pink Panther theme and "Moon River" for instance--to explore more obscure pieces. Among them is a gorgeous alto saxophone-piano duet with Frank Kimbrough on the ballad "Cheryl's Theme" from a movie called Sunset. Bassist Rufus Re

The story of John McCain and the Keating Five
|
This story is told in a simple, straight-forward manner by a bank regulator who wants Americans to know that John McCain has long track record for being morally obtuse and economically dangerous. This particular story is about the Keating Five, but the damage McCain has done to the American economy continues to this day. Truly, you can afford to invest 13 minutes to understand that McCain’s association with Charles Keating was not just bad judgment. Rather, it is proof that McCain is rotte

Ford to Launch New F150 Truck in November
|
Ford’s F150 truck was delayed this summer in order fo dealers to sell the remainder of the 2008 inventory. The truck was originally set to officially arrive in October and then pushed back to December. We’re in October now and it seems like Ford wants to launch the F150 earlier. We’re expecting a November launch after all. Ford’s Jim Farley said the move is caused by two main events. On one hand it looks like Ford dealers have cleared the old and are waiting for the new and on the other han

Ford’s new MyKey innovation will not be received well from future teen Mustang drivers as it will allow parents to limit speed and audio volume to encourage them to drive safer and improve fuel efficiency. The MyKey system allows the parent to program any key through the vehicle message center, which updates the SecuriLock passive anti-theft system. When the MyKey is inserted into the ignition, the system reads the transponder chip in the key and immediately identifies the MyKey code, which e
