When individual borrowers began to suffer, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson didn’t seem overly concerned. The market would clear out the problem through the foreclosure process. Loans would get written off; properties would change hands and be resold. When upstart subprime mortgage lenders ran into trouble, Bernanke and Paulson shrugged again. The market would clear out the problem through the bankruptcy process. Subprime companies like New Century Financial filed for Chapter 11, others liquidated or restructured, and loans made to the lenders were written down....

Pochettino took over in 2014 and has led the London side to a top-three finish in two of the last three seasons but has yet to win a trophy. They finished the 2016/17 Premier League campaign seven points behind champions Chelsea. “After three seasons where we work a lot and set the bases it will be important in the next few seasons to try to win trophies,” Pochettino told Sky Sports after Sunday’s 7-1 win over Hull City....

The dozen Jewish House members asked Omar to “clarify her words.” Instead, the Minnesota Democrat responded on Thursday by tweeting that the “constant harassment & silencing from the signers of this letter is unbearable.” The dispute began on Monday night after Omar posted a video conversation she had with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Twitter. In the video, Omar talked with Blinken about wanting an investigation of human rights abuses by both Hamas and Israel....

Intriguingly, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 fan base has fallen in love with antagonists like the cartel leader Valeria and the turncoat Phillip Graves. Graves and Shadow Company turning on Task Force 141 is not necessarily surprising for those that played the 2009 Modern Warfare 2, even though the villain turn is sudden. However, it is even less of a shock for those that played Uncharted 4: Among Thieves....

In recent times, several attractions have been built in the GBR, including underwater statues—some of which measure up to 20 feet high—ABC News reported. Meanwhile, a hotel constructed on a pontoon near an island in the southern portion of the reef, which features underwater suites, is set to open in November. “In the past, it was simply the beauty of the reef, the diverse corals and amount of fish life, and things like sharks and manta rays and whales,” Tony Fontes, a dive operator in the Whitsunday Islands—which lie off Australia’s northeast coast—told ABC....

‘Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.’ - Bill Shankly This is undoubtedly the most iconic of all football coach quotes which should come as no shock as it was uttered by Liverpool’s legendary manager Bill Shankly who is one of the greatest managers to ever grace the game....

Our own year-end winners (and losers) defined many of the ground-breaking titles that gamers had a pleasure to play. Skyrim gave players a massive world to explore and get lost in. The Old Republic became the fastest growing MMO in the history. Batman: Arkham City redefined the action/adventure genre with its incredible depth and strong story, and lest players forget about Game Rant’s Game of the Year, Portal 2. So many other games deserving of praise, all who had their own part in creating an incredible library for players to choose from....

RELATED: The Best Science-Fiction Shows On HBO Max Just like with every other TV producer, HBO has canceled shows prematurely over the years. Sometimes it was for the best since the shows failed to captivate the audience. Other times, though, HBO canceled great shows after just one season, causing an outcry among the shows’ fans. 5 Minx There are never enough great retro shows. Minx was one of them, and it has a complicated story....

RELATED: Best Games Set In The American Wild West, According To Metacritic Either way, some of the greatest movies ever made have been westerns. Tales of marshals, gamblers, and bounty hunters trying to make it on the American frontier have provided the groundwork for a handful of cinema’s finest western movies. Updated on April 12, 2022, by Jason Van Duine: The western is a staple of both cinema and western culture....

The Packers split their first two games, but losing Week 1 just seems to be a trend for Aaron Rodgers. They demolished the Chicago Bears in Week 2, as Rodgers always does. Now, in Week 3, bettors will find out if the Packers are the team to beat in the NFC. Tom Brady hasn’t looked great this year. However, all of his usual weapons are on the injury list. Tampa’s defense has been unbelievable, and they are the reason the Buccaneers are 2 - 0....

Jackson, the Bengals’ offensive coordinator, went on SiriusXM radio last week and, after prompting from the show’s hosts, anointed his own duo, Andy Dalton and A.J. Green, No. 1. “I think they’re the best in the game, in my opinion,’’ Jackson said. Call Jackson crazy if you like, but Green alone makes the argument for best combo in the league strong enough. So strong that Jackson himself could be his quarterback, and they would be the best....

On March 7, French research organization, the Association for the Study and Conservation of the Selachians, tweeted there had been a sighting of a Greenland shark off the coast of French island of Ushant. It said the animal was “stuck in very little water,” but eventually returned back to sea. A few days later on March 13, Rosie Woodroffe—a biologist at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) Institute of Zoology—found an example of the same species dead on Newlyn beach in Cornwall....

Abbott has refused calls to reimpose coronavirus restrictions, including mask mandates, as cases driven by the highly contagious Delta variant continue to soar across the state. The Texas Supreme Court on Friday rejected the Republican governor’s ban on mask mandates, allowing schools to continue requiring masks in classrooms while the legal battle continues. Abbott has been isolating in the governor’s mansion in Austin since testing positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, a day after he didn’t wear a mask while speaking to a crowded room of GOP supporters....

Abbott was scheduled to throw out the first pitch of the Texas Rangers’ home opener Monday, but Abbott pulled away just a few hours before the game started. The governor said it was because Major League Baseball (MLB) last week pulled its annual All-Star Game from Atlanta because of voting laws it deemed racist and oppressive. Many other companies like Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, ViacomCBS, JPMorgan Chase, UPS and others were among those sharing discontent with Georgia’s new laws....

But now what seemed unbelievable is happening. Ives is the crew chief for Earnhardt, and he will be in control of the Earnhardt crew Tuesday and Wednesday at a Goodyear tire test at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Ives, who won the Nationwide Series title with rookie driver Chase Elliott in 2014, replaces Steve Letarte, who announced in January he would leave after the season to work for NBC and then promptly won the Daytona 500 and three other races in 2014....

Before San Antonio’s preseason game against the Heat on Tuesday, Popovich offered praise for commissioner Adam Silver for how he’s handled the firestorm that followed a tweet from Rockets general manager Daryl Morey. “Adam is a very progressive leader,” Popovich said (via MySanAntonio.com). “We all remember how he handled the situation with the former owner of the Clippers (Donald Sterling, who Silver banned for life for racist remarks). It made everybody proud because it was the right thing to do....
