Dr. Baskin works the gears of peace
19 Nov 2009 | 1:52 pmOne can exhaust the resources of the thesaurus trying to come up words to describe Dr. Gershon Baskin — determined, stubborn, resolute, resilient, indefatigable.Not to mention very, very optimistic.All such attributes are key assets to anyone interested in promoting peace, especially peace between Israelis and Palestinians, arguably the world’s thorniest and most intractable conflict.If any individual is a match for that conflict, it’s Baskin. He is one very determined peace promoter, but not of the simplistic variety. Catchy slogans like “give peace a chance” and bumper sticker… -
PA says it will declare statehood
19 Nov 2009 | 1:44 pmJERUSALEM — Frustrated by a lack of progress toward statehood, the Palestinians are considering taking their case to the UN. PA President Mahmoud Abbas had hopes a more Muslim-friendly US administration would press Israel into a peace deal on terms favorable to the Palestinians. When this failed to materialize, Abbas announced plans to resign.Now he is threatening to go to the UN Security Council to ask for recognition of a Palestinian state within the pre-1967 borders, with eastern Jerusalem as its capital.Abbas’ thinking is that such a move would resolve the core border issue in a… -
Temple denial
19 Nov 2009 | 3:47 amWhen people object to characterizations of segments of Islam as living in the Dark Ages, what can they say to this: “The Jews have no connection whatsoever with Jerusalem and have no sacraments there . . . The Temple of Solomon does not exist in Jerusalem . . . Therefore the Jews have no connection or right to have any presence in Jerusalem.”The speaker was not some far out, non-influential, Islamic crackpot. It was no less an Islamic personage than Saudi Arabia's King Faisal, speaking in 1973. Since then? Things have only gotten worse. -
Checking references
19 Nov 2009 | 3:22 amDear Tzviling,My cousin sent me a number of your columns discussing shidduchim (matchmaking). In particular, the column dated Oct. 23, 2009, raises a vital issue when researching our potential life partners. Namely, the need for accurate descriptions as we check for references. I am in the process of looking into a shidduch for my daughter and need your advice. The boy comes with glowing recommendations. How literally do I take the references?Andrew, Flatbush

NYT: McDaniels showing lack of faith in Simms?
20 Nov 2009 | 12:02 pmWhile it’s hard to take Josh McDaniels‘ claims that, if he feels up to it, QB Kyle Orton will start on Sunday against San Diego despite missing a week of practice seriously, the coach continues to insist this is the case. The New York Times’ Fifth Down Blog wonders aloud what type of message this sends Chris Simms. The Josh McDaniels dossier is still being written, so it’s hard to tell how the Broncos will react after scoring only 34 points in the past three weeks and losing their edge on defense. McDaniels must show he can lead his team through its first rash of injuries. -
Orton misses practice, questionable for Sunday
20 Nov 2009 | 10:59 amQuarterback Kyle Orton has been held out of practice for a third straight day with a severely sprained left ankle, but that hasn’t kept him and head coach Josh McDaniels from hoping Orton can play Sunday. “Absolutely,” McDaniels told reporters before practice Friday. “We’ll continue working with him and hopefully we’ll be ready to go on Sunday.” McDaniels said Orton will be listed as questionable, and the plan is to test out Orton’s ankle before the game on Sunday. If he can’t go, Chris Simms will get the start. In the Mike Shanahan days, missing… -

Buffs let 11-point lead slip away
20 Nov 2009 | 11:17 amLooking to end a two-year road losing streak, the Colorado Buffaloes football team came up just short against the No. 12 Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater, Okla. The Buffs, who led by as many as 11 points, fell 31-28 to OSU and dropped to 3-8 overall Thursday on national TV. Trailing by three points late in the game, CU (2-5 Big 12 Conference) sophomore linebacker Tyler Ahles stopped Cowboys sophomore backup quarterback Brandon Weeden for a 3-yard loss on fourth-and-1 at CU’s 39-yard line.

As well as a second credit available to current homeowners of $6,500. To be eligible, buyers must have lived in their… -
Help ~ We Can’t Find A Good House!
23 Oct 2009 | 7:59 pmI’m working with a lovely family who is relocating to Denver in a few weeks. We can’t find them the right house and their move date is looming. They want to be here and settled by December. After a 4 1/2 day marathon of 56 houses, we kind of narrowed it down to two possibilities. These buyers are looking in a fairly significant price point.

Either the homes were location compromised, floor… -
Denver Colorado Real Estate | September 2009 Market Statistics
12 Oct 2009 | 8:43 pmIn August, Denver had 20,225 active listings available on the market. In September, we were down to 19,834. With inventory naturally shrinking as we round into fourth quarter, Buyers are left with choosing a currently available home or waiting to see what might come on the market in coming months. It’s not likely that many new properties will be listed from Halloween through the new year, and many buyers are faced with choosing between buying a home they’ve seen or waiting until after the first of the year when inventory will begin to build. Prices are up slightly from August,… -
Earnest Money Requirements in Denver
4 Oct 2009 | 8:05 pmRelocating buyers often ask how much earnest money they’ll need when they make an offer on Denver real estate. My answer? “It depends.” Some brokers and sellers request 3% some request 10%. Earnest money requests/requirements are entered in the MLS, so your Buyer Agent can tell you what the sellers have requested. 3% is more the norm for mid-priced homes, 10% is extremely high. However, for high end homes, closer to 10% isn’t too unusual. What the sellers request and what the buyers provide are not always the same amount. When you prepare an offer for a property,…

The Human Hamster Hotel
20 Nov 2009 | 12:22 pmA hotel in France gives guests the chance to live like a hamster – where you can eat grain, run in a giant wheel and sleep on hay. The so-called Hamster Villa is located in the town of Nantes and is run by a company which rents out unusual and bizarre places. The rate is 99 euros a night, but is soon to go up as today’s hamsters need wi-fi and a giant tv screen, according to the owners. Via The Presurfer -
