[Zillow Blog - Real Estate Analysis, Celebrity Real Estate, and Mortgages] Case-Shiller: Is it Really THAT Bad? | Zillow Blog - Real Estate ...: Case-Shiller is not an appraisal method for a specific house in a particular market any more than zillow is, but with todays technology it is nice to be really accurate. In 2005 and 2006 I read several articles written by economists from the federal reserve(these are the best and brightest) explaining why real estate would not see the bust being predicted, it would just go flat for a few years.

[DealBook] Where’s the Plan, Wall Street? - DealBook Blog - NYTimes.com: “The crisis was the coup de grâce: Given virtually free rein over the economy, these same insiders first wrecked the financial world, then cunningly granted themselves nearly unlimited emergency powers to clean up their own mess.

[Economist's View] Economist's View: Paul Krugman: Thinking About November: For virtually all of American political history, the strong female contestant has been cast not as the player but the rules keeper, the purse-lipped killjoy who passes strait-laced judgment on feral boy fun. The animosity toward the rules keeper is fueled by the suspicion that she (and in American life, the regulator is inevitably coded feminine, whatever his or her sex) is the agent of people so privileged that they don’t need to fight, people who can dominate more decisively when the rules are decorous.

[Pierre Ford Blog] Pierre Ford Blog » Blog Archive » Medium-Duty Chassis & Suspension ...: If the truck will pull a trailer, verify the GCWR is sufficient to meet both payload and trailer needs. Gross combination weight rating (GCWR) is the maximum allowable weight (as determined by the manufacturer) of chassis, fluids, occupants, body (including equipment and payload) combined with the weight of the trailer at maximum load.

[The Housing Bubble Blog] The Housing Bubble Blog » Bits Bucket For March 20, 2009: I’m in Herndon, the residential price declines are nothing compared to the freakishness of all of the empty CRE. Truly breathtaking how much new office space is completely empty.

[Wired: Autopia] The Car of the Future Promised for October | Autopia from Wired.com: And changing this calculation would take multiple breakthroughs--which study after study has predicted will take decades, if they arrive at all. In fact, the Hydrogen 7 and its hydrogen-fuel-cell cousins are, in many ways, simply flashy distractions produced by automakers who should be taking stronger immediate action to reduce the greenhouse-gas emissions of their cars"
