&lt;p&gt;SOUTH LYON, Mich. -- The community and family of a 5-year-old South Lyon boy with cancer are celebrating Christmas this weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Noah Biorkman has been fighting cancer since he was 3 years old. He was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in February of 2007, went into remission six months later but relapsed in September of 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Noah is currently in hospice care and after his family asked for help in making this Christmas special for him by sending cards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 5-year-old said an angel figurine ornament was his favorite because it reminded him of where he'll soon be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;In heaven, and I'm going to be an angel,&quot; Noah said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His parents, Diana and Scott, said they have come to grips that their son won't make it until Christmas Day in December.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We made sure he got to have Christmas ... my family dropped everything, they're bringing the food, everybody's coming and we're all excited to spend Christmas with him this week,&quot; Diana said. &quot;His time is very short.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Santa along with the South Lyon Fire Department visited Noah Friday at the family's home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cards can be sent to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Noah Biorkman&lt;br /&gt;1141 Fountain View Circle&lt;br /&gt;South Lyon, MI, 48178&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A Real Money making idea Make money with only $6 investment and a little time</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FAST CASH $6 PAYPAL as seen on OPRAH and 20/20&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://cdn-938.homes.com/c1/cgi-bin/readimage/351915938&quot; height=&quot;305&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am a Realtor as you may see here by my website. Since things went in the tanks i have been paying my bills with income from doing this system i am going to show you here. I am going to show it to everyone i can since it was shown to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FAST CASH $6 PAYPAL as seen on OPRAH and 20/20&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;READ THIS, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, PASS IT ON if you would like to make THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS and make your financial dreams come&lt;br /&gt;true with only a $6 investment!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no limit on how much money you can receive, and you haven't&lt;br /&gt;got anything to lose with this Business program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's safe and easy,&lt;br /&gt;It's simple and it's safe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FAST CASH $6 PAYPAL as seen on OPRAH&lt;br /&gt;!!!!!!QUICK MONEY!!!!!! -- FAST CASH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first I thought this was too good to be true...how wrong I was!! I decided to give it a go, it was only 6 dollars, so why not? Well I was astounded!! Money has been, and still is, coming to my account. **Proven by various, highly respected U.S. TV and Radio programs as being 100% legal, feasible and true. ** Oprah Winfrey and ABC's investigation team 20/20 also proved it can be done.&lt;br /&gt;IF A 15 YEAR OLD BOY COULD MAKE $71,000 IN JUST 5 WEEKS AND OTHERS $250,000 IN A FEW MORE WEEKS -- SO CAN YOU!!!&lt;br /&gt;THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW The LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE PAYPAL $6 DOLLAR MONEY-MAKING METHOD:&lt;br /&gt;This is all you need:&lt;br /&gt;1) An email address&lt;br /&gt;2) A Pay Pal account&lt;br /&gt;3) Then POST, POST, POST..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;THIS IS A 2009, CURRENT EMAIL LIST&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Ever since the internet became popular, the word &quot;scam&quot; has become a daily term. I have never once tried any moneymaking &quot;system&quot; outside of this because of that very reason. However, after reading reports on the validity and reputation of this money making system (seen on Oprah, CNN, and other media forums) I gave it a try. Only hours after implementing this exact system I just about fell out of my chair as money ACTUALLY started rolling in. I couldn't believe it and for that reason, I became a believer in this system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HERE IS HOW IT WORKS...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;There is a list of 6 email addresses (you'll see it as you read further). Each of these people has already taken part in this system. When someone new comes along (such as yourself) he/she removes #1 off of the list, moves the other five email addresses up one position (i.e. #6 goes to #5, #5 to #4, etc.), and adds their Pay Pal email address in the 6 position. This process is what develops the power of compounding. The bottom line is this... Honesty and Integrity creates Profitability. Following this EXACT process is what creates the money, and that is why this system has been raved about. Altering the system creates weak results. The legality of this system comes from the idea that you are of course creating a mailing list, and a &quot;service&quot; is being provided (more on that later.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTIONS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STEP 1:&lt;/strong&gt;The first thing to do COPY, PASTE and SAVE this entire post in word or notepad on your computer so you can come back to it later. After that, if you are not already a Pay Pal user you need to go to the Pay Pal website at https://www.paypal.com/ and SIGN UP. To receive credit card payments from other people you must sign up for a PREMIER or BUSINESS account (not just a PERSONAL account). This is highly recommended to allow others easy payment options. To place the initial $6 into your account, you will have to verify your bank account with PAYPAL (which may take a few days). PAYPAL is 100% secure and is used by millions of people worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STEP 2:&lt;/strong&gt; Here is where the action occurs. Next send a $1.00 payment to each of the 6 email addresses on the current list from your Pay Pal account. To do this quickly and successfully, follow these simple steps:&lt;br /&gt;1. Login to Pay Pal and click the &quot;Send Money&quot; tab near top of screen&lt;br /&gt;2. In the &quot;Recipient's Email&quot; field type: the email address&lt;br /&gt;3. In the &quot;Amount&quot; field type: &quot;1&quot; (your $1.00 payment)&lt;br /&gt;4. In the &quot;Category&quot; field select: &quot;Service&quot; (Keeping it legal)&lt;br /&gt;5. In the &quot;subject&quot; field type: &quot;EMAIL LIST&quot;,&lt;br /&gt;6. In the &quot;message&quot; field type: &quot;PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST&quot;. (By doing this, you are creating a service and maintaining the legality of the system by &quot;paying&quot; for the service.)&lt;br /&gt;7.

This is the only part of the document that should be changed. **Make sure to use the email address you registered with Pay Pal**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STEP 4&lt;/strong&gt; now post new file created in STEP 3 to at least 200 newsgroups or message boards. Keep in mind that there are tens of thousands of groups online! All you need is 200, but remember the more you post the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list!&lt;br /&gt;Use Netscape, Internet Explorer, Fire fox, Safari, or whatever your internet browser is to search for various news groups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, discussions, discussion groups, on-line communities, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example? Log on to any search engine like yahoo.com or google.com and type in a subject like 'MILLIONAIRE MESSAGE BOARD', MONEY MAKING DISCUSSIONS', 'MONEY MAKING FORUMS', or 'BUSINESS MESSAGE BOARD', etc. You will find thousands and thousands of message boards. Click them one by one and you will find the option to post a new message. Fill in the subject, which will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, and post the article with the NEW list of email addresses included. THAT'S IT!!! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang of it, it will take about 60 seconds for each newsgroup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOW THE MONEY WORKS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you post 200 messages in various forums, it is estimated that at LEAST 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00 ($15.00). Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00 ($225.00), etc. through 6 levels of email addresses. For comprehension purposes, here is an easy viewing chart:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1) 15(1) = 15 people ($1) = $15&lt;br /&gt;2) 15(15) = 225 people ($1) = $225&lt;br /&gt;3) 15(225) = 3375 people ($1) = $3375&lt;br /&gt;4) 15(3375) = 50625 people ($1) = $50625&lt;br /&gt;5) 15(50625) = 759375 people ($1) = $759375&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Within a few WEEKS you begin to see results, thanks to the speed of the internet! When your name is no longer on the list, take the latest posting in the newsgroups and begin the process again. Simply amazing...Follow the system as described, and enjoy your PROFITS!!!&lt;br /&gt;REMEMBER... HONESTY AND INTEGRITY = PROFITABILITY&lt;br /&gt;YOUR NAME COULD CYCLE FOR A LONG TIME!&lt;br /&gt;THIS MAKES IT THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.&lt;br /&gt;REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! GOOD LUCK!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that most news servers will leave the posted messages on there servers for about 2 weeks. If you will post your message again, it WILL again start from the beginning. So you can repeat this over and over again. There are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try. Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users of the Internet, every day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;!!!!! REMEMBER!!!!! Follow every step, and IT WILL WORK!!! &lt;br /&gt;Make Today A Great Day &lt;a href=&quot;http://briansproperties.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Colorado Real Estate market picking up Quick Is your area doing the same?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I in the last week or 2 have been getting a lot of calls from people now looking to puirchase property and homes in and around the Pikes Peak Area of Colorado. This is just what i thought would happen but it is coming sooner than i had expected. I thought it would be coming on in the spring of 2009 but we are still in the winter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wanted to post here for the people in areas that have not started to pick up and say it's on its way to you soon, Trust me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also i was wonder how is your area doing? What area do you do business in and have you seen signs of increased buying and selling?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Colorado Real Estate investments best time to buy a property is NOW</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;People seem to be waiting for some huge downturn. Well i would like to tell you that it has already happened and it is about to head upwards again real soon in the Pikes Peak Area of Colorado anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some of the best deals i have seen in years are available and only a select few are snatching them up, i wonder why more people are not buying investment and second homes in this PERFECT time for buying? Are people that worried that the world is going to end or is it just simply because the news media is&amp;nbsp;making people paranoid, well what ever it may be people are missing the boat. It is to bad really because deals and interest rates like this only come around for most of us once in a lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People are going to be kicking themselves that they did not take advantage of these great deals when they were still around. My prediction: Summer of 2009 prices will quickly increase in this area and people will be buying investment properties to late to make the big money. I have sold homes this past year for 50% less than what they sold for just a year or two earlier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So to the people that are buying in this time i can not wait to hear your stories of how much money you have made in such a short time, Why because i am right there with you and i cant wait to tell people how i doubled my money in a year or 2. For the people thinking the world is going to end i feel bad for you and i wish you well but if you do not take a chance you will never be well off, But if you like working for other people and just pay your bills more power to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To most people this whole post may sound rude but i just wanted to make sure that i did all i can to let people know this is the time to buy investment or second properties in this area. If you are ready let me know i have tons of great deals right now just waiting for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just click on this link and have a look at some of the great properties you can make some money on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ok now is your chance voice your opion what do you think? How is your area and where are you located?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>National name or local company? Which do you prefer and why?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ok These days many people are thinking...........Did i make the right decision whether they are at a local company or a national big name.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So i thought i would post this and see what agents are thinking. Small local or big national?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which one do you prefer and why what makes where you are better than the other and have you been with the other big or small i want to hear from you all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have friends and even family in national companies but if you know anything about me i am all about the local smaller company.&amp;nbsp;So let me know what you think and why, I am really hoping that this gives me some in-site on what others have experienced and the people who read this as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and as always &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.briansproperties,com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Colorado Real Estate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Colorado vacation and second home properties for sale in Pikes Peak Co Area</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;It's a great time to buy your dream vacation home&lt;/span&gt;--that retreat by the sea or in the woods where you one day might retire. Mortgage rates are low, prices are down and boomers will resume shopping for retirement retreats soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But,&amp;nbsp;only in certain areas like the Pikes Peak Area of Colorado.&amp;nbsp;Prices in certain overbuilt Sunbelt areas, such as Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale and parts of Florida, are expected to fall another 20% or more and won't begin to recover until 2011, Moody's Economy.com predicts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then there are foreclosures. Fort Myers, Fla., has one of the highest rates in the country. Prices have plunged 31% from their 2006 peak in this balmy corner of the Gulf Coast, which includes Naples and Coral Beach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forbes.com/2008/06/04/mortgage-vacation-home-pf-ii-in_do0604realestate_inl_slide_2.html?thisspeed=25000&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;In Depth: Top Tips For Vacation Home Buyers&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.forbes.com/media/2008/06/05/priceindex_264x274.gif&quot; height=&quot;274&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot;priceindex_590x405.jpg&quot; width=&quot;264&quot; /&gt;This sort of drop has brought a slew of problems. A quarter of the houses now on the market there are short sales--where, for example, a home is listed for $250,000 but the seller owes $300,000--says Connie Gustafson, an agent with Prudential Florida WCI Realty. Buyers may be getting a bargain, but short sales are notoriously difficult to close. Lenders are holding up transactions, sometimes for months, rather than committing to taking a loss on the loan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We can't get a solid number out of them until we get an offer,&quot; she says of cautious lenders. With 14,600 existing homes for sale in Fort Myers, and thousands of half-finished condos, Moody's Economy.com believes prices will continue falling for another two years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunnier Skies &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Contrast that with Napa, Calif. Prices in wine country are back to 2004 levels. Foreclosures in the newer exurbs of San Francisco mean you can buy a house for less than $500,000--something almost unheard of a few years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to live close to Napa's legendary vineyards and within driving distance to San Francisco, half a million won't buy you much, but you will be buying something unique: Land-use restrictions prevented the kind of rampant overbuilding plaguing Florida, Nevada, Arizona and Southern California and that will support a recovery in Napa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But whether Napa is a bargain depends on your budget; most second-home buyers in wine country are looking at small vineyards, gated golf-course communities or historic homes in Napa city where prices are well over a million.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Napa is too pricey, your money will go further just about anywhere else in the country. Woodland Park, Co.,&amp;nbsp;around the corner of Pikes Peak, has beautiful weather in the summer,&amp;nbsp;any pretty mild&amp;nbsp;snow fall in the winter (120 inches last year) and&amp;nbsp;mountain views&amp;nbsp;everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One California couple recently sold their vacation home in Lake Tahoe, Calif., for $670,000 and traded down to a four-bedroom vacation house in the&amp;nbsp;Pikes Peak Area&amp;nbsp;of Colorado for $250,000, says Brian Lloyd, a local Realtor in Colorado. The&amp;nbsp;Mountainus area&amp;nbsp;is a favorite getaway for residents and vacationors alike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many bargain hunters go straight to the most bottomed-out markets. But some of the best values aren't necessarily where destruction has been the greatest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;How is the weak housing market affecting your community? Weigh in. Post your thoughts in the readers comment section below.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Government Takes Over Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac good news for Real Estate Buyers mortgage rates shouild be headed down and buyers can feel more protected</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Bush administration's seizure of troubled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is potentially a $200 billion bet that it will help reverse a prolonged housing and credit crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The historic move announced Sunday won support from both presidential campaigns, but private analysts worried that it may not be enough to stabilize the slumping housing market given the glut of vacant homes for sale, rising foreclosures, rising unemployment and weak consumer confidence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Officials announced that both giant institutions were being placed in a government conservatorship, a move that could end up costing taxpayers billions of dollars. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said allowing the companies to fail would have extracted a far higher price on consumers by driving up the cost of home loans and all other types of borrowing because the failures would &quot;create great turmoil in our financial markets here at home and around the globe.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com predicted that 30-year mortgage rates, currently averaging 6.35 percent nationwide, could dip to close to 5.5 percent. That's because investors will be more willing to buy the debt issued by Fannie and Freddie _ and at lower rates _ since the federal government is now explicitly standing behind that debt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.briansproperties.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Colorado Real Estate buyers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; can now feel more protected and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Effectively, the federal government has now become the nation's mortgage lender,&quot; he said. &quot;This takes a major financial threat off the table.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Futures on all major stock indexes rose about 2 percent in electronic trading Sunday night, another sign of investor relief about the takeover plan&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The companies, which together own or guarantee about $5 trillion in home loans, about half the nation's total, have lost $14 billion in the last year and are likely to pile up billions more in losses until the housing market begins to recover.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Treasury Department said it was prepared to put up as much as $100 billion over time in each of the companies if needed to keep them from going broke, in exchange for senior preferred stock. Treasury will immediately be issued $1 billion of such stock from each company, which will pay 10 percent interest. Further purchases of preferred stock will be triggered if quarterly audits find that the companies' capital cushion is below prudent standards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The government, which will receive warrants representing ownership stakes of 79.9 percent in each company, is hoping that its moves will reassure nervous investors that they can continue to buy the debt of the two companies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a statement, President Bush said, &quot;Americans should be confident that the actions taken today will strengthen our ability to weather the housing correction and are critical to returning the economy to stronger sustained growth.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama issued a statement agreeing that some form of intervention was necessary, and promised, &quot;I will be reviewing the details of the Treasury plan and monitoring its impact to determine whether it achieves the key benchmarks I believe are necessary to address this crisis.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Republican presidential nominee John McCain also voiced support while his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, said that Fannie and Freddie &quot;have gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers. The McCain-Palin administration will make them smaller and smarter and more effective for homeowners who need help.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The conservatorship will be run by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the new agency created by Congress this summer to regulate Fannie and Freddie, a move taken at the same time that Congress greatly expanded the power of the Treasury Department to make loans to the two companies and purchase their stock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The executives and board of directors of both institutions are being replaced. Herb Allison, the former head of the TIAA-CREF retirement investment fund, was selected to head Fannie Mae, and David Moffett, a former vice chairman of US Bancorp, was picked to head Freddie Mac.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paulson was careful not to blame Daniel Mudd, the outgoing CEO of Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac's departing CEO Richard Syron for the companies' current problems. While both men are being removed as the top executives, they have been asked to remain for an unspecified period to help with the transition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fannie and Freddie both purchase home loans from banks and then repackage those loans as mortgage-backed securities which they either hold on their own books or sell to investors around the globe. This process provides banks with more money to make more home loans, greatly expanding home ownership.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The impact of the government takeover on existing common and preferred shares, which have slumped in value in the last year, will depend on how investors react to Paulson's assertion that they must absorb the cost of further losses first. Under the plan, dividends on both common and preferred stock would be eliminated, saving about $2 billion a year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the Treasury Department's announcement, credit rating agency Standard &amp;amp; Poor's downgraded Fannie and Freddie's preferred stock to junk-bond status, but reaffirmed the U.S. government's triple-A rating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Federal Reserve and other federal banking regulators said in a joint statement Sunday that &quot;a limited number of smaller institutions&quot; have significant holdings of common or preferred stock shares in Fannie and Freddie, and that regulators were &quot;prepared to work with these institutions to develop capital-restoration plans.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Fed released a letter from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to James Lockhart, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, in which the Fed chief said he concurred in Lockhart's decision to take control of Fannie and Freddie saying the action &quot;will help ensure the safe and sound operation of the enterprises.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Analysts were split on how much the takeover could eventually cost taxpayers although they all agreed the up-front costs will be substantial, possibly hitting $100 billion as the Treasury is called upon to bolster the capital cushions at both institutions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, if the plan does the trick of stabilizing the housing market and home prices stop falling and rebound, then the assets of both Fannie and Freddie should rise in value and the government should be able to sell off the companies and recoup its investments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But it could take a long time to work through that process given all the headwinds facing housing at the moment from the plunge in home prices to soaring defaults on mortgages which are dumping more homes on an already glutted market. The weak economy has pushed unemployment to a five-year high of 6.1 percent, further reducing demand for homes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;I think the government will end up having to put in far more money then they are planning right now (given all the problems facing housing) but the important thing is the agencies have been taken over by the government,&quot; said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University Channel Islands. &quot;That means there will be less panic in financial markets.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under government control, the companies will be allowed to expand their support for the mortgage market over the next year by boosting their holdings of mortgage securities they hold on their books from a combined $1.5 trillion to $1.7 trillion. Starting in 2010, though, they are required to drop their holdings by 10 percent annually until they reach a combined $500 billion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, officials said the Treasury Department plans to purchase $5 billion in mortgage-backed securities issued by the two companies later this month, the first of a series of purchases planned by the government in an effort to bolster for these securities, which was badly shaken a year ago when the credit crisis first erupted with soaring defaults on subprime mortgages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paulson said that it would be up to Congress and the next president to figure out the two companies' ultimate structure and the conflicting goals they operated under _ maximizing returns for shareholders while also being required to facilitate home buying for low- and moderate-income Americans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;There is a consensus today ... that they cannot continue in their current form,&quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Members of Congress will be watching in the coming months to see how the takeover works, but more housing legislation appears unlikely until next year given the few weeks remaining both Congress quits to hit the campaign trail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. said the intervention was sparked by worries within the Bush administration that foreign governments would stop holding Fannie and Freddie's debt. &quot;This was the prudent course to take,&quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn., announced his committee would hold hearings on the takeover to address a number of unanswered questions so that the American people will know &quot;if this unprecedented proposal will help keep mortgages affordable, stabilize the markets and protect taxpayer interests.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lockhart said that all lobbying activities of both companies would stop immediately. Both companies over the years made extensive efforts to lobby members of Congress in an effort to keep the benefits they enjoyed as government-sponsored enterprises.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sunday's actions followed a series of meetings Paulson had with Bush and other top administration economic officials with Bush relying heavily on the judgment of Paulson, who was the head of investment giant Goldman Sachs before he joined the Cabinet in 2006.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;It is really an assent to Hank's direction, guidance and judgment,&quot; said a senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss behind-the-scenes deliberations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Associated Press Writer Ben Feller in Washington contributed to this report.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is great news for buyers in Colorado and around the entire united satets of america, So call me today and lets find you the Colorado home of your dreams. 719-243-4057&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Woodland Park Colorado Real Estate and homes for sale People are missing out on great deals</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;People are so wrapped up in what the news has to say about our economy that they are missing out on some of the best deals on Real Estate in the Pikes Peak Colorado Area in years, Also the very low interest rates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been working with lots of people this year and they are picking up some of the best deals there has been in this area in years and years. While other people are missing the boat, That is really to bad to see so many people missing out on this great time to buy a property in this part of Colorado just because they watch the news and think everything is going to fall apart. But i guess this is why the people that i am working with this year are very well off they take advantage of these times when the middle class people miss out and i guess that is why they will always be middle class. It is to bad to see this happen to the people who really could use a great deal and they think it is the worst time to buy when ultimately it is one of the best times to buy any type of real estate in years at-least in this area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;People buying homes and property in this area of Colorado are likely to see a return on their investment of 30%-40% within only 1-3 years where else can you get a return on your money like that?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;So if you are looking to buy or invest in property or homes in this area of Colorado Call me today i have got some great deals to show you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brian Lloyd &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;719-243-4057&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://briansproperties.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colorado Real Estate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Pikes Peak ski area coming soon Pikes Peak Colorado area ski resort news</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Big news today for a ski area to open on the west side of pikes peak just south of divide, Co&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We all know what happens to property values when things like this come to a new area so if you want to get in now before it's to late and prices increase in this area Call&#160;&lt;strong&gt;Brian Lloyd&lt;/strong&gt;&#160;today at &lt;strong&gt;719-243-4057&lt;/strong&gt; and lets get you into something today. &lt;a href=&quot;http://briansproperties.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pikes Peak Colorado Area Real Estate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ski area planned for Pikes Peak&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;350 condos, 300-room hotel may be included&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By DAVE PHILIPPS 2008-02-21 12:30:00 am THE GAZETTE A local investor Wednesday said he plans to open a small ski resort on the west side of Pikes Peak - possibly by 2011. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been 17 years since the last local ski area closed, and many have predicted ski lifts would never return to the region. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Ball, former CEO of Eller Industries, a Boulderbased broadband company, has a contract with local climbing legend Harvey Carter to buy 320 acres south of The Crags. He plans to build The Resort at Pikes Peak, a renewable-energy-powered ski area with slopeside condos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ball envisions a community hill used mainly by residents of El Paso and Teller counties. It could eventually include five chairlifts, 33 ski trails, three restaurants, a 300-room hotel and 350 condos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be part of a trend in niche family hills that survive in the shadows of corporate giants like Vail Resorts by being closer to cities and therefore more convenient for skiers and snowboarders. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;It would be like Eldora, just above Boulder,&quot; Ball said Wednesday. &quot;People don't necessarily come from out of state to ski it, but the community loves it because it's so close. My kids can take the bus up to Eldora in 30 minutes.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height=&quot;355&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/Pe-1Lirgd4E&amp;rel=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/Pe-1Lirgd4E&amp;rel=1&quot; height=&quot;355&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;div id=&quot;blip_movie_content_695996&quot;&gt;					&lt;a href=&quot;http://blip.tv/file/get/Colorado-PikesPeakColoradoSkiResort453.wmv&quot; rel=&quot;enclosure&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Click To Play&quot; src=&quot;http://blip.tv/file/get/Colorado-PikesPeakColoradoSkiResort453.wmv.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;Video thumbnail.

It has private land right where it would need to be at the base. And it's high enough.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carter has measured snowfall on the property at 10,500 feet and says it gets an average of 12 feet a year - almost twice that of other Pikes Peak slopes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ball has 30 days to put down $1 million in earnest money on the $4 million parcel. If he doesn't, Carter said he has an unidentified real estate broker from Manitou Springs who is ready to put down the money to start the community ski area. Ball says if all goes according to plan, he could break ground by 2010. Build-out wouldn't be for several more years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1970, when Colorado Springs had half its current population, the region had three small ski areas: Ski Broadmoor, Pikes Peak Ski Area and Holiday Hills. But poor management, unpredictable snowpack and industry consolidation shut them down. The last, Ski Broadmoor, closed in 1991. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ski industry may be changing, however. Echo Mountain Park, formerly Squaw Pass, reopened in 2006. Eclipse Snowpark, formerly St. Mary's Ski Area, could open next winter. Both are near Denver and are geared toward niche markets instead of the general snow-riding population. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So if you want to get in now before it's to late and prices increase in this area Call&#160;&lt;strong&gt;Brian Lloyd&lt;/strong&gt;&#160;today at 719-243-4057 and lets get you into something today. &lt;a href=&quot;http://briansproperties.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pikes Peak Colorado Area Real Estate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Colorado's widlife donations need help keep colorado wild, deer, elk, antelope need your help Emergency Feeding Operation 2008</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I am posting this because i have recieved an e-mail today that was asking for help for our Colorado wildlife and i am trying to do my part. So if you live visit or even just simply like seeing wildlife in Colorado Please take action Today. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Big game animals are battling severe winter weather conditions in the Gunnison area. The DOW is concerned that mortality among deer could be catastrophic unless they get some help. The DOW is starting to give deer a specially formulated feed to help them survive the winter. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More than 60 inches of deep, crusted snow coupled with extreme cold have begun to take a toll on deer and other wildlife populations in the Gunnison Valley. At this time, DOW biologists believe that if we do not aid these populations through a temporary feeding program, the extreme conditions may lead to excessive winter losses in these populations. The loss of wildlife in this part of our state has the potential to negatively impact the local economy which depends on out-of-town visitors coming to enjoy wildlife. Conserving wildlife and supporting the people who depend on wildlife for their livelihood is part of the DOW mission. By donating to the Division of Wildlife today, you will be participating in a valiant effort to help save some of Colorado&amp;#39;s wildlife. Each donation will be used to buy and distribute specially formulated feed to animals in need. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/1/6/2/9/ar120284126092617.jpg&quot; height=&quot;102&quot; alt=&quot;emergency feeding 2008 Colorado&quot; width=&quot;259&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The feeding operation will be expensive and those who wish can donate to the effort.

      <description>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;h1 align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Local Colorado REALTOR e-PRO&lt;sup&gt;&#174; &lt;/sup&gt;Agent Utilizing Technology &lt;h1 align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;To Provide Consumers With&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;h1 align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&#160;State-of-the-Art Services&#160; &lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2/12/2008&#160;&lt;/strong&gt;-&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;As more and more consumers begin their search for real estate on the Internet, it is critical that real estate professionals are well educated in the use of technology to the benefit of both the consumer and the agent and/or broker.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Realizing the importance of technology training, the National Association of REALTORS&lt;sup&gt;&#174;&lt;/sup&gt; (NAR) now offers its members the e-PRO certification course -- the only technology certification program offered by NAR. The program is designed to prepare real estate professionals to make the most of Internet technology and to identify, evaluate, and implement new Internet business models. The elite group of course graduates represents &lt;strong&gt;only 1% of all REALTORS in the country&lt;/strong&gt; including&#160;&lt;strong&gt;Brian Lloyd&#160;&lt;/strong&gt;of &lt;strong&gt;Wegwood Properties.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;The real estate industry has undergone a fundamental change over the past five years,&quot;&#160;&lt;strong&gt;Brian&lt;/strong&gt; said. &quot;Today, more than 80% of all buyers and sellers begin their search online. As an e-PRO certified agent, I have knowledge and tools needed to provide my clients with the information they need and the customer service they demand. It's both hi-tech and hi-touch.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The REALTOR e-PRO&lt;sup&gt;&#174;&lt;/sup&gt;certification course is an educational program unlike any other professional certification or designation course available, comprehensive and interactive. It is specifically designed to provide real estate professionals with the technology tools needed to assist consumers in the purchase or sale of a home. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The exclusive REALTOR e-PRO&lt;sup&gt;&#174;&lt;/sup&gt; certification course is presented entirely online and certifies real estate agents and brokers as Internet professionals. The course is designed to help REALTORS&lt;sup&gt;&#210;&lt;/sup&gt; stay at the leading edge of technology and identify, evaluate and implement new Internet business models.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once completed, the e-PRO certified real estate professional joins the ranks of a special community of highly skilled and continuously trained professionals who provide high quality and innovative online-based real estate services.&#160; Consumers can identify the e-PRO through the exclusive e-PRO Internet Professional logo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both the content and the delivery platform were created by San Diego-based technology company InternetCrusade&lt;sup&gt;&#174;. &lt;/sup&gt;Graduates use the skills they've acquired to provide clients information on properties for sale, local communities, and the local real estate market.&lt;/p&gt;For more information, on&#160;how an e-pro Realtor like myself can offer you&#160;services other agents only dream about visit my website or feel free to contact me today&#160;&#160;&lt;strong&gt;Brian Lloyd&lt;/strong&gt;&#160;at&#160;&lt;strong&gt;719-243-4057&lt;/strong&gt; or visit my website at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.briansproperties.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Colorado Real Estate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
