Nearly 37% of homeowners whose mortgages were modified in the first quarter of 2008 defaulted again after six months, according to a report released last month by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision.
Pay the obese to take a walk: Now the nanny state offers rewards just for losing weight in £30m health drive | Mail Online
Overweight parents will be paid to walk their children to school under plans to tackle the obesity epidemic.
Those who attend keep-fit classes, weight-loss clubs or even go for a run in the park would also be eligible for rewards.
They will collect points on supermarket-style loyalty cards which would be redeemed against healthy food, sports equipment or gym sessions.
The scheme is part of a £30million drive to improve health which will begin next year in Manchester, one of England's unhealthiest cities. If successful, it could be rolled out nationwide.
However, critics believe that the payments are tantamount to bribery - and that the scheme is open to fraud.
Under the proposals, men and women will be invited to join exercise classes or slimming clubs.
Pennsylvania law tries to cut electricity usage - Yahoo! News
To ensure that utilities take the task seriously, the new law allows up to $20 million in penalties for failure to meet the benchmarks for electricity usage cuts.
"That certainly should get the companies to look at what's been going on around the country and adopt some of the more successful programs," said Sonny Popowsky, the state's utility consumer advocate and a supporter of the new law.
Utilities will have to find ways to get people and businesses to use less electricity on the hottest summer days, when electricity is the most expensive. That could include enrolling the owners of homes and office buildings in a program to temporarily switch off hot water heaters or air conditioners.
To cut electricity usage at all other times, utilities will have to get more fluorescent lamps into light sockets to replace less efficient incandescent bulbs.
They will have to figure out how to entice people to insulate their homes to save electric heat and replace old, energy-sucking refrigerators and other appliances with newer, more efficient models.
Electricity usage in the Pennsylvania and the United States grows at a rate of about 1 percent to 2 percent annually.
Bodies of the dead not being buried in echo of Winter of Discontent as effects of credit crunch spread across Britain | Mail Online
The spectre of the Winter of Discontent threatened to return to haunt Labour last night after funeral directors revealed that the burial of 'hundreds' of bodies is being delayed for financial reasons.
In a bleak new sign of the growing economic crisis, hard-up families are having to wait more than two months before receiving Government money for funerals.
Organisations representing undertakers accused the Government of putting them in an 'impossible' position by dragging their feet over burial costs for poor families.
Previously, undertakers would pay for the cost of funerals and wait to be reimbursed by the State, but the lack of credit in the banking system means many firms can no longer afford to do so.
Stop buying those throwaway clothes, shoppers are told by Lords | Mail Online
'The attitudes of individuals and organisations must be altered so that waste is not just viewed as being costly, but as being socially unacceptable,' the report said.
'We must tackle the high rate of wasteful consumption to which our
society has become accustomed.' The committee called for a shake-up of VAT, suggesting that tax rates could be reduced on products which used sustainable materials.
I launched Childline to protect the most vulnerable - but unleashed a politically correct monster | Mail Online
-
It was a rare moment, and a shock, not just to see a British tennis player making it to the very top, but a British child being encouraged to compete - and win.
Winning is against the rules for many children these days; even competing has become a sin. I have a godson, one of three brothers who until recently attended their local state primary school in Berkshire.
Pro Libertate: The Nanny State Goes Nazi

Other stigmata of extremism listed by Nutter include expressing concern about a loss of national sovereignty, collecting gold or silver coins, or expressing contempt for the Federal Reserve and a desire to restore the gold standard. So presumably a “Ron Paul for President” yard sign would be considered a warning sign under this standard, as well. (Nutter went so far as to list The Law by Frederic Bastiat -- a tract that reflects its author's comprehensively non-violent views -- as the type of literature a potential right-wing terrorist might possess. Oh, and he listed one of my books, as well.)
Appeals court allows S.F. to enforce health care law
A federal appeals court gave San Francisco the green light Wednesday to require employers to help pay for health care for uninsured workers and residents, and it signaled that it is likely to uphold the city's groundbreaking universal coverage law.
