Cord Blood Overview – Mind, Body & Baby.

(……. I personally was fortunate enough to know about cord blood banking and provided this “medical peace of mind” for my son and our family, but I have found that many parents aren’t even aware of the option. So, as a member of PEN, my goal is to raise awareness for cord blood banking and provide expectant parents with accurate, objective information so that they can make an informed decision. )

My Personal Credit Crisis – NYTimes.com

By EDMUND L. ANDREWS
Published: May 14, 2009
If there was anybody who should have avoided the mortgage catastrophe,
it was I. As an economics reporter for The New York Times, I have been
the paper’s chief eyes and ears on the Federal Reserve for the past
six years. I watched Alan Greenspan and his successor, Ben S. Bernanke,
at close range. I wrote several early-warning articles in 2004 about the
spike in go-go mortgages. Before that, I had a hand in covering the
Asian financial crisis of 1997, the Russia meltdown in 1998 and the
dot-com collapse in 2000. I know a lot about the curveballs that the
economy can throw at us. (continued on the NYTimes.com website)
