During the slow real estate market, only the strong survive. A residential real estate broker recently closed its doors in the South Bay area. Joel Forral, owner of Coldwell Banker Alliance in Chula Vista, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the federal bankruptcy court in San Diego in September.

His filing indicated that he owes personal and business taxes, as well as money to utilities linked to Coldwell Banker Alliance, franchise fees and money for advertising expenses. David Siroty, a spokesman at the Coldwell Banker corporate offices in Parsippany, N.J., says the company was told in midsummer that Forral sought legal counsel on closing his franchise.

The Next Level of Open Source
4) Norms for faculty reward, regard, and risk in developing digital courseware are still developing. Bypassing the constant teaching vs. research debate occurring at research universities (I am a 60% research appointment, Assoc Prof in water quality research), I will suggest that currently, the reward and regard for digital endeavors remains low, while the risk is high. I find that my main driver is student feedback (typically positive) and the joy of experimenting to enhance student learning. Online enrolled student comments like: “I am a graduate student with degrees from three major US universities and this is the best course I have ever taken…" give me great satisfaction and suggest we can help students achieve their academic goals while increasing accessibility. 5) I observe from my students that well-designed courseware may allow a "denser" and more satisfying learning experience.

Cricketers need more manners - GG
I'm concerned about) the reduction in the grace and the courtesies that are being shown on the cricketing fields," he said on ABC radio today.

Not only the pious are drawn to interest-free Islamic banking
Financing deals resemble lease-to-own arrangements, layaway plans, joint purchase and sale agreements, or partnerships. "This is an industry on its way from a niche industry to becoming a truly global industry," said Khawaja Mohammad Salman Younis, the managing director for operations in Malaysia for Kuwait Finance House, the world's second-largest Islamic bank after Al-Rajhi Bank. "In the next three to five years you'll see Islamic banks coming out in Australia, China, Japan and other parts of the world," he said. The stampede into Islamic finance is mostly an effort to tap an estimated US$1.5 trillion in funds sloshing around the Middle East, largely from higher oil prices. While a lot of this oil money was parked in the US, Britain and Switzerland before Sept. 11, 2001, bankers say many wealthy Arabs are investing closer to home, in part to avoid increased scrutiny.
