Jack Del Rio press conference transcript
Good people here, a great place to live, a nice warm city and there are a lot of draws here. Then you add on top of that a good staff, a good group of guys, an unselfish environment, I think guys get excited about winning football. We've been a winning football team over the last four years. We're right up there with the top five or six teams in the league. So yeah, I think winning and doing those things and having that type of culture, I think that definitely helps you bring in people." (with your team having success, other teams may look to your coaching staff to hire for key positions. How is that different in replacing them and what philosophy will you use going forward to make those replacements when they come up?)

Hani Shukrallah, executive director of the Heikal
As soon as the foundation was registered, the board faced a choice between starting work right away and waiting until the offices were ready. “Gradually, he [Heikal] decided the syndicate would not be the most appropriate headquarters. Logistics were very difficult for builders and materials. But the main reason was that he felt this would politically taint the foundation. “He has nothing against the syndicate, and [the withdrawal] did not mean a critical position toward how the syndicate is operated. He felt that the foundation's presence inside the syndicate would impose something that is not part of its mandate or identity. This area, with its constant demonstrations, was not suitable. Whether you like it or not it would have imposed itself on you. He wrote to the syndicate council and donated his down-payment to its retirement fund," Shukrallah recounts.
Dollar Peg for Oil Countries in Danger - Dollar to Fall Further?
Existing home sales in the U.S. fell dramatically in December (-2.2% m/m), capping the biggest yearly slump (-12.8%) on record in more than a generation. 2007 also recorded the first ever annual decline (-2.8%) in the prices of existing single family homes in at least four decades. With home prices falling steadily and foreclosures likely to climb further amid rising mortgage rate resets, housing shows no sign of bottoming. The seemingly endless descent in the housing market is starting to seep into other sectors and, along with record high energy prices, is weighing on consumer sentiment. Credit conditions continue to tighten due to the massive debt write-downs at financial institutions. This, along with the recent steep slide in global equity markets early in the week, compounded the souring of sentiment.
Industrial sites in New Braunfels being transformed
Once upon a time, New Braunfels was home to some mighty industrial buildings. When it was built on the Comal River in 1926, the Comal Power Plant was the largest coal plant of its kind west of the Mississippi River. Over on the Guadalupe River, a textile mill called the Planters and Merchants Mill opened its doors in 1923, becoming New Braunfels' largest employer for several decades. Both operations vanished long ago. The power plant shut its doors in 1972, and the mill closed in 2005. The buildings seemed destined to crumble with the years as eyesores rather than the economic boon they once were. But two Texas developers saw different futures for those buildings. One helped turn the power plant into loft apartments and retail space, and the other has plans to turn the mill into a mixed-use site with office, industrial and restaurant space.
