"As I hold the golf ball, I feel a calm energy," Silbert says. "I let go of the conscious riffraff, I'm reprogramming the unconscious mind. The verbiage in my mind is affirming...
...Saif is Libya's future, then he might just trigger a transformation every bit as far-reaching as his father's socialist coup.

...option ARMs, as well as certain alt-A mortgages, to reset over the next 12 to 15 months. At least $60 billion in option ARMs will reset in 2010, and an additional $64 billion will do so in 2011, according to First American CoreLogic.
