Emerging filmmakers of all ages are working more prevalently than ever in the nonfiction arena. The reasons are varied but certainly there is a larger market, more opportunities for distribution and a greater willingness on the part of the public to seek out new life, new civilizations and to boldly go where no filmmaker has gone before. Or, at least, that’s the impression.Where is this new breed of rabble-rouser coming from?The Master of Fine Arts Graduate Program at the University of North Texas for one.Levin has been a frequent visitor to Taos with his wife, Melinda, who also is its department chairwoman. Levin said he has always admired the creative community here and vowed that someday he’d like to share with it the work his students have been producing. That time has come.He said he’s particularly proud that two films by UNT students were among the eight finalists competing for the top documentary prize at NextFrame last August.

Will Fed rate cuts restore confidence in markets?

But following the Fed's move, U.S. and European trading seemed to have stabilized some.After plunging nearly 500 points at the open Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at 128. European stocks also seemed to regain some ground after swooning along with Asian markets on Monday.A number of factors were attributed for the slide Monday, including disappointment over the Bush administration's stimulus proposal for the U.S. economy and concerns that U.S. bond insurers Ambac Financial Group and MBIA Inc. might default on their obligations.Answers to economy questionsBy McClatchy NewspapersWASHINGTON With the market dropping, the economy softening and prices spiking, it's an unsettling time for most Americans.

Government wasting money

But with all the budget cuts, checking out possible drug houses has lost some of its priority. It has nothing to do with who owns the property. It just takes longer now than it did before to get something done. And believe it or not, it is harder to evict people without concrete evidence than you think. Even when people are on a month-to-month basis, they can take you to court. Plenty of lawyers to take that one on, especially if they say it is racially motivated.

Lending oversight overdue for reform

To give a $16 haircut in Maryland, one must take a year or more of classes and pass a rigorous test on the theory and practice of barbering. To originate a $500,000 mortgage, you take a class for a week or two.

Now that toxic mortgages have helped push nearly 16,000 Maryland homes into foreclosure proceedings over the past 12 months, the Maryland legislature has to know that things must radically change. Even mortgage lenders are embarrassed by what has happened and mortgage brokers - middlemen for third-party lenders - talk about reform.

But some are fighting proposed standards ensuring mortgage agents exhibit the highest level of care. Given the abuses of the past three years and the way housing finance has changed, let's make sure the General Assembly insists on the jumbo, non-adjustable, strictest mortgage reform plan.

Knack for knickknacks

You could call Daniel Weaver a committed entrepreneur. Or you could say he should have been committed for trying to stay an entrepreneur.

Until the Internet rescued him from near ruin, helping him resurrect his troubled company, Airtime Corp., Weaver's business life could best have been described as disastrous.

Now the company is the corporate parent of Bandana.com and WholesaleForEveryone.com, an amalgam that sells, via the Internet, 10,000 bandanas a week, laser pointers, cell-phone batteries and NFL lunchboxes, among other products.

Dulles Rail Eminent Failure - Both Unexpected and Not

The apparent collapse of Federal funding for the Dulles Rail Project is both unexpected and not, in my view.On the one hand, it's easy to understand the Fed's concerns about the $900 Million funding they're being asked to contribute. Their concern about the lack of MWAA's experience, technical ability, and longer-term financial stability in managing the program is probably accurate, as such a large program is best managed by those with fairly current experience in related and current contexts and very deep pockets - that's not the local or Federal government, in my opinion, but is best found in private industry. Additionally, the $900M contribution estimates are probably segnificantly lacking in factual bases or precedent - the recent $300 million estimate cut to me is a simple evidence of typically unfounded, politically-driven and hyper-optimistic Budgeting processes rampant across the Federal Government.
