[Editor's Note: As you know, from time to time we like to divert our attention away from coverage of specific sports events and fantasy sports to provide useful health and fitness information for the sportsman (or woman).

Ellen Brown: Out of the Ashes of GM: The Phoenix of Renewable Energy
It may be prophetic that among the brands GM chose to kill was the Pontiac Firebird, a classic hot car of the 1960s sporting the fabled Phoenix on its hood. In Egyptian mythology, the Phoenix was a colorful bird that incinerated itself in its nest, then rose from the ashes as its own offspring.

Not Color Blind – seablogger.com 07/11/2009 Jeffery Miron attempts a color-blind analysis of the housing debacle that led to bailout mania. It won’t wash. Yes, the government wanted to “promote home ownership” in general, and it has a history of foolish meddling with the market for this purpose. But the specific policies that embedded risk in the financial system arose from the rage against “red-lining.” “Red-lining” was never about race. [more...]
