COLD FUSION RUMBLINGS

Color me skeptical.

PORTLAND, Ore. — U.S. Navy researchers claimed to have experimentally confirmed cold fusion in a presentation at the American Chemical Society's annual meeting.

"We have compelling evidence that fusion reactions are occurring" at room temperature, said Pamela Mosier-Boss, a scientist with the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (San Diego). The results are "the first scientific report of highly energetic neutrons from low-energy nuclear reactions," she added.

Cold fusion was first reported in 1989 by researchers Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, then with the University of Utah, prompting a global effort to develop the technology. Normal fusion reactions, where hydrogen is fused into helium, occur at millions of degrees inside the Sun. If room temperature fusion reactions could be realized commercially, as Fleishchmann and Pons claimed to have achieved inside an electrolytic cell, it promised to produce abundant nuclear energy from deuterium--heavy hydrogen--extracted from seawater.

March 25 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co., the biggest U.S. home lenders, were downgraded by Moody’s Investors Service on concern that they’ll need another round of government aid.

The senior-debt rating for Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America was reduced to A2 from A1, according to a statement today by Moody’s. San Francisco-based Wells Fargo had its senior-debt rating cut to A1 from Aa3.

I've been screaming about off-balance sheet vehicles since our first day.


At the end of 2008, for example, off-balance-sheet assets at just the four biggest U.S. banks -- Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. -- were about $5.2 trillion, according to their 2008 annual filings.

RIP, MBA

The economic crisis has exposed the myth of business-school expertise.

Funny ads. Seeing these "out of context" ie out of the bubble is also a bit disturbing. Communicating - hey we're cool, it's easy, you'll get the loan, no hassles, no worries. I guess we know their marketing campaigns worked....

This is great job DailyBail! You are the best! Thanks for digging up these commercials and lets bring back heat for the criminals that started Countrywide and World Savings. these crooks created subprime and they should not be able to get away. I WANT TO SEE MOZILO IN HANDCUFFS NOW!! He is a criminal and should not get away from his crimes!

Nice commercials and lets bring back the blame to the man that created this mess: Angelo Mozilo. He got away from selling millions of his shares at the top of the bubble before the company collapsed few years ago. Plus he got a huge severence. He should be catching his tans in jail.

These commercials were really targeted towards hispanic and low income families that couldnt really afford traditional 20% down with proof of income. The bubble blame goes for these groups that were misled by banks like Countrywide, GreenPoint, Ameriquest, New Century Mortgage, World Savings and bunch of other guilty organizations. The management for these organizations should be held accountable.

Yes No ONE was thought to do what Countrywide could do. That is, to tear the whole f-cking house down with EVERYONE WATCHING in plain sight!
