Here's the original email, it was edited of course:

Dear Natalie,

I live in South Korea, and there's no way in hell I'll pay for streaming radio, there are so many free alternatives, for example, if I want to listen to Class Rock, I'll go to 95.5 KLOS FM (Los Angeles) or if I'm in the mood for sports, I'll go to ESPN Radio, or if I want top 40 I'll go to 92.3 NOW FM (New York), why can't businesses just follow the Johnson & Johnson business model? They buy companies that produce products they're not good at and leave them alone, if it ain't broke, don't fix it philosophy!!!

This is the reason that piracy is so rampant in Asia and other parts of the world!!! Lack of availability!!! I don't want to wait a year to so to watch this season's Heroes (OK, I hate heroes), Family Guy or the Simpsons or Crayon Shinchan (Japan), the more country ip blocking sites do, the more these companies are encouraging copyright piracy!!!

Foreclosures spur home sales in metro Detroit

Foreclosures spur home sales in metro Detroit

Median sales prices plummet

Foreclosures continued to dominate area single-family home and condominium sales in February, pushing total sales up 16.5% and crushing median sales prices, according to new figures released Monday.

It's a familiar story in the metro Detroit housing market, where median sales prices plummeted 49.4% to $43,000 in February.

Realcomp, a multiple listing service in Farmington Hills, reported that 4,182 homes and condos sold during February in metro Detroit, up from 3,591 sold in February 2008.

Of the 4,182 sales, 56%, or 2,353, were foreclosures, according to Realcomp. Realcomp compiles sales figures reported by Realtor members in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Livingston counties and parts of St. Clair County.

Median sales prices were down 42.6% in Detroit to $5,737; down 23.3% in Livingston County to $172,000; down 44.6% in Macomb County to $115,000; down 46% in Oakland County to $144,000; down 32% in St. Clair area to $97,000, and down 43.9% in Wayne County to $28,500.

The downward trajectory of prices has Reginald Perryman, president of the Detroit Association of Realtors, hoping we're at the bottom of the curve with an uptick just around the corner.

"Actually, it is at the bottom," Perryman said. "What we are seeing is multiple offers on these properties. And the days on the market for those properties are a lot shorter."

Realcomp said the average days a metro Detroit property is on the market has declined by nearly three weeks to 103 days from 121 days.

And while investors have accounted for a lot of the activity in Detroit, Perryman said more owner-occupants are buying now. "They are paying cash so they can live in a house with no debt. The low prices make it possible," he said.

Pending sales for the metro area were up 24.8% in February to 6,670 from 5,343 in February 2008. And inventory has fallen 22.3% to 52,361 houses and condos on the market from 67,405 a year ago.

Future of Capitalism: 50 people who will frame the debate

The credit crisis has placed the global financial system under almost unprecedented strain.

Tackling the many problems and charting a course through them to a new world order is a daunting challenge. It will require impressive political leadership and vision as well as concerted international cooperation.

Networks and institutions will matter as much as individuals.

In this graphic we explore the experiences and systems that connect the 50 people likely to be most influential in shaping the world debate.

The Group of Thirty for example, a nonprofit group founded in 1978 that comprises leading financiers, academics and officials and aims to “deepen understanding of international economic and financial issues”, is one interesting connection between these players.

Use the control panel to divide the leaders by age, nationality and network. Mouse over the photos for profiles.
