- Former California Homeowners Lash Out at Builder – NYTimes.com – [KB Homes} A state lawmaker from Southern California, where home values have plummeted and foreclosures have skyrocketed, has introduced a bill that would prohibit builders from lending money to homebuyers.
“Builder-originated loans create an inherent conflict of interest,” the lawmaker, Assemblyman V. Manuel Pérez, a Democrat, said in an e-mail message.
No state has such a law, said Sue Johnson, the executive director of the Real Estate Services Providers Council, a trade group.
“It would be disruptive to the home-building industry,” Ms. Johnson said, adding that most home builders had loan arrangements with financial institutions.
- Human Evolution and Frameshift Mutations | gmilburn.ca – How did humans evolve from early primates? How did “human like” traits such as a smaller jaw relative to apes and hairlessness pop up when they don’t appear in the wild in any real frequency? The typical explanation for why humans have smaller jaws than early primates is that our diets changed, and so we didn’t “need” bigger jaws. The only issue with this is that there is no real selection pressure for a smaller jaw – a large jaw works too! My appendix is unnecessary, and can even be a liability due to infection – but it’s still there. There are more factors in play. The old-school view of evolution as tiny little changes over a ridiculously long period of time is turning out to be not quite exactly true.
- How they make bi-metallic coins – Core77 – If you've ever wondered how they make bimetallic coins, here's the process. They start by punching a hole through a coin blank, or planchet. The core will be remelted for another batch, and the remaining part becomes the "ring," or outer, planchet.
- Time Warner rationale for bandwidth caps doesn’t add up – Ars Technica – Britt's rationale for the change—infrastructure is expensive—is tough to understand. Cable's physical plant has been in the ground for years; even hybrid fiber-coax systems have been widely deployed for some time. Internet access simply runs across the existing network, and one of cable's big advantages over DSL is that speeds can be upgraded cheaply by swapping in new DOCSIS headend gear, with DOCSIS 3.0 the current standard. Compared to what Verizon is doing with fiber and AT&T with its quasi-fiber U-Verse, cable Internet is a bargain (well, for the operators).
- Cats’ nervous systems able to repair themselves | Science Blog – Knowing that the central nervous system retains the ability to forge new myelin sheaths anywhere the nerves themselves are preserved provides strong support for the idea that if myelin can be restored in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, it may be possible for patients to regain lost or impaired functions: "The key thing is that it absolutely confirms the notion that remyelinating strategies are clinically important," Duncan says.
- Luxury resort bargain shopping | The Movable Buffet | Los Angeles Times – But consider the price difference in the basic Web rate for Mandalay Bay on a weeknight compared with a weekend. For $110 you can have a room on Thursday, April 23. But if you want the same room on Saturday, two days later, you will have to pay $350. And, that isn't the final twist. Saturday, April 25, is marked as a "No Arrival" day for Mandalay Bay. That means you would have to arrive at least a day before — that extra Friday night will cost you an additional $210.
