In having one of the finest single games by a quarterback in school history during Michigan's 42-17 win over Iowa, Devin Gardner lessened any fears the Wolverines' might have over life without Denard Robinson.
It was a real fear: Robinson might not be a perfect fit for what coach Brady Hoke and offensive coordinator Al Borges have in mind on offense, but his sublime athletic ability made him one of the most dangerous players in college football history.
If Saturday was any indication, the offense is in fine hands. Gardner scored six touchdowns, tying former UM quarterback Steve Smith for the most by a quarterback in school history. (According to Michigan's radio broadcast, Smith did so twice.) Robinson never accounted for more than five touchdowns in a single game.
INJURY: Fitzgerald Toussaint's ugly ankle injury against Iowa
Gardner threw for three touchdowns, tying Robinson's single-game high this season. Gardner ran for three scores, tying Robinson's single-game high for his career. Yeah, Gardner's less athletic; everyone is less athletic than Denard Robinson.
If nothing else, Michigan's offense was better with Gardner under center and Robinson in a do-everything role than it was with the roles flipped, with Robinson playing quarterback and Gardner at wide receiver.
BAD TACKLING: Let the Florida Gators show you how not to tackle
The Wolverines gained 513 yards, the team's second-highest total during Big Ten play (behind the 527 gained against Illinois), and averaged 8.3 yards per play. The 314 passing yards was a season high, and the 25 first downs were the second-most in 2012.
Is this Michigan's plan for the rest of this season? The two shared the backfield, with Gardner slinging and Robinson running for nearly 100 yards with another 24 yards as a receiver. Ohio State must be wondering: Do we prepare for the Michigan we knew (Robinson at quarterback) or the new-look Wolverines (Gardner at quarterback)?
Better yet, is this Michigan's plan for the future? With Robinson gone, you thought that Hoke and Borges would shift the offense to a more pro-style offense. Maybe that'll go well, based on how Gardner looked on Saturday.

Comments: I must agree with some of the comments below -- these feel very narrow to me. I have medium width
feet, but I did not like these shoes at all. Once I took them off and put my old pair of Cage Courts back on, it was a huge relief. So
I would not recommend unless you have narrow feet, or unless you can get these in a wide size. Even then, I found them to be
pretty heavy and clunky. I guess you get what you pay for.
From: Duke, 1/14
Comments: Love these shoes. The durability is questionable, though -- they wear out too soon. Still like the fit
and performance though.
From: Sandy, 12/13
Comments: These are not a medium fit, maybe only at the heel. At mid fot and fore foot, the fit is narrow. It is
questionable if I can brake them in enough for confort in the mid foot. The arch support is not medium, but low. That didn't
bother me as I always put my own insoles in all the shoes. I don't have enough heel hold with these, but my heels are narrow,
compared to my wider forefoot. Quality seems to be good. Traction is excellent. Bottom line: Buy them only if you have narrow
foot and low arch.
From: Boris, 11/13
Comments: These shoes are not that great for people that go and play 20 hours a week. I have gotten knee pain
after getting these shoes. I expected more from Nike. The support in the arch is poor, and the fit is quite narrow. It is awkward
running straight. But side to side is OK. Great shoes, but should be cheaper.
From: Anon, 11/13
Comments: As Brett said, "Don't waste your money on all the gimmicky Nike shoes that cost a lot and look cool."
You get the comfort in this shoe at 1/2 the price. I have 2 pairs.
From: Teetertotter, 11/13
Comments: For my feet, I am able to put these on right out of the box and hit the court. I have narrow feet and the
shoe fits nice and snug. They hold very well when I stop and change directions. This is the prime reason I prefer this shoe. The
soles hold up well enough and last about 3 months. And I play nearly 7 days a week on hard courts.
From: Wolfman, 4/13
Comments: These shoes actually seem to be cambered inwards, so running a straight line was a little awkward, but
side to side motions were okay. I felt that the phylon midsole was a little thick for my liking, however I'm used to the low ride of
the Vapor Tour, and prior to that I played in running shoes (Nike Free's) which are quite low by comparison. The Free's also had
considerably less support. I also disliked how the heel was a little high compared to the forefoot. This restricted my toe on landing
motions, since during tennis I'm usually on my toes. But the lockdown felt inferior to the Vapor 9. I can't really compare this to
other tennis shoes like the Ballistec or Barricade since I've not worn those, but I can say that compared to running shoes this shoe
had very significantly improved levels of support and cushioning. Lateral movements felt very secure, although again, this felt a
little wasted considering I was accustomed to the lightness of wearing running shoes previously.
From: Liang, 3/13
Comments: It's my second time having this shoe, and I like it whenever I'm hitting on the run. They are
comfortable and fit my feet. Best buy for its price.
From: A.W.C., 1/13
Comments: Nice shoes, especially when you are running to and fro. Recommended.
From: A.W.C., 1/13
Comments: I just got this shoe recently and I went to play tennis and for the first time in all my years of playing
tennis, I totally lost my grip on the ground, totally fell to the court and nearly cracked my head open. The irony is that this is the
first day wearing the shoe. I am thinking of returning the shoe. I will not recommend to anyone.
From: A.J., 1/13
Comments: My favorite shoe, ever! However, I have taken the Nike original insole out and inserted a high arch
orthodic that in combination I have found extremely comforable at this price point. The EVA outsoles have average wear life. The
orthodic has been placed in fully three pairs I have worn over the past two years. I usually will buy several pairs on sale before
they end production.
From: Thom, 11/12
Comments: This shoe did not last long enough. Also, the shoe felt uncomfortable at times.
From: Andy, 8/12
Comments: I didn't expect this to be a very good shoe considering the price. But I was surprised to find out that it
feels nice to play with, good stability moving side to side, and I think it will have a decent durability with the outsoles. I'm not
sure since I haven't played that much with it, but so far no signs of wear and tear on the outsoles.
From: Dan, 8/12
Comments: Great shoe. It is very light if compared to the barricades. I would
prefer this shoe because I believe footwork is the most important aspect
of the tennis game, and although the barricades provide nice traction, I
was lagging around the court a bit. I am also a marathon runner, and for
all those runners out there, we like our shoes light! In addition, what's
a rally if you can't get to the ball in time. A heavy shoe will hinder
one's timing and footwork. I hope this review helps!
From: Anon, 8/12
Comments: Great shoe for the average city court. Takes a bit to break in, but never hurts. Wears fantastic.
Side to side support is firm. Not to mention, it's at a bargain price.
From: D.O.C., 8/12
Comments: Great shoe. The durability is great, and very, very good comfort.
From: Mateo, 7/12
Comments: Don't waste your money on all the gimmicky Nike shoes that cost alot and look cool. This
shoe is the best Nike has to offer for tennis players in terms of comfort for half the price. Durability wise it's just as good
as the expensive Vapors or 2k11.
From: Brett, 6/12

A better arena
November 25 2008 11:45AM
Using methods that we will chalk up to witchcraft, our very own DJ Spyn Cycle showed us all a proposed design for the arena by local architect Gene Dub early yesterday afternoon.
According to the Edmonton Journal local architect Gene Dub states that "The shape is inspired by the marigold, Edmonton's civic flower. Dub wants to build it in Edmonton Oilers copper above the street with the rink on the third level, leaving a space underneath where traffic and pedestrians can pass through and shop during the summer."
Coun. Bryan Anderson -- in a tone so dismissive he must be a civic politician -- helpfully called the plans "doodles" and went on to say "I don't think there's any council interest in getting involved, over the '09 year, in talking about an arena ... I think there's an awful lot of work for the Oiler organization to undertake before they bring it to council."
A few things spring to mind in reading the press coverage of this proposal this morning and re-watching the high speed rendering of the project over and over again. Firstly, the civic flower of Edmonton is the marigold? When the hell did that happen? Was it put to vote amongst the good citizens of E-Town or did the powerful marigold lobbyists have their way with the Brian Andersons of 100 years ago when this decision was made?
Secondly, it seems that Dub designed this building with an overall attitude of "I'm so sophisticated I'll build the most avant garde arena you have ever seen. Five hundred years from now history will be my judge, not you present day unwashed masses." It's probably very tempting for architects to try and design each and every building as though it's a legacy that will allow them to live forever. However with something that will ultimately come with as much scrutiny as the local hockey arena, it may be a better idea to play it safe. It's bound to be one of the major land marks of Edmonton. It shouldn't look as though Frank Gehry took 20 hits of acid and slapped it together in a morning's work.
There are plenty of arenas around the league that inspired very little debate during their design process. The Honda Centre in Anaheim springs to mind for one. It's just a super nice building made out of solid marble with a temperature controlled underground bunker in which Lauren Pronger lays thousands of eggs each spring. We hold out hope that Edmonton's design council won't swing for the moon with some crazy design like the one we saw yesterday. After all, these people will all be dead in thirty or forty years, whereas the good citizens of Edmonton will be forced to stare at any potential monstrosities for thousands of years to come. (*cough* WEM *cough*)
According to the same article in the Journal: "It's the first proposal for a new arena made public since Mayor Stephen Mandel began talking about the idea almost two years ago." This means that alternate proposals will be made over the coming months. We have actually been thinking about the new arena for some time and have come up with an alternative design of our own shown in the diagram above. Keep in mind that this drawing is perfectly to scale and must be built exactly as shown. RX2 (Big ups to Chris) features the following architectural features:
1. Overall pleasing structural design: As we previously mentioned, now is not the time to step wildly outside the box when designing the arena. Something that simply "looks really nice" will suffice -- it doesn't have to be featured in architectural textbooks for the next 50 years. All it takes is one commenter on a board to call the new arena "the toilet bowl" and the nickname will stick. It's sort of like naming your kid 'Lord Funky Town' – you're asking for trouble down the road.
You can see that our overall arena structure follows this idea, and that it follows a traditional arena design. As a result our version of RX2 resembles "an arena" and not any official civic flower -- no matter how surprising this flower may be.
2. Ice Size: One of the main functional components of the new arena will have to be the ice plant and the resulting quality of ice. The ice at RX1 is probably one of the most heavily scrutinized ice surfaces in North America. The arena could cost a billion dollars, feature solid-gold seats and have a beer vending machine in every aisle. If the ice isn't top quality, Gregor will face thousands of calls of "the ice was way better at Rexall One if you ask me." This is completely unacceptable to him (we asked).
Unlike the video provided by Dub, our arena design picture features actual ice -- which is prominently featured with its bright blue hue. You can see too that it is in excellent condition despite the late spring temperatures denoted with the lush green grass outside.
3. Ample parking: We work downtown and have a monthly pass behind one of our city's finest strip clubs. This is because 1) parking is hard to find in this fine city, and 2) it saves us time in going to the rippers for our weekly Monday Morning Lap Dance™. We can tell you that parking downtown is an absolute biatch and any new arena without dedicated facilities will make an existing problem worse.
We know for an actual fact that the EPCOR building being constructed has an extremely large underground parkade already under construction -- over 2000 stalls. The site proposed in the Dub's design -- near 96th Street and 103A Avenue -- is too far from this facility for it to be of any use. Unless someone is planning on building an enormous parkade as part of the arena, site selection should try and make use of existing parking facilities.
As you can see from all of the royal blue H1 Hummers parked outside, our arena design provides ample parking for all events to be held at RX2.
4. A helipad for Katz: For those of us with the means to avoid the congestion on the way to and from the games, facilities should be built to facilitate helicopter and possibly space craft landings onsite. This new arena will have to last for another 50 years. Who knows how we'll get around in the year 2060! We're betting some sort of moon car, and are designing the new arena to be flexible in the transportation one can use to attend games.
While we all won't be landing our moon cars on the roof of the arena on opening night, the diagram clearly shows Daryl Katz landing his solid gold chopper on the roof of the arena. Until such a time when the common mode of transport changes, the helipad is reserved exclusively for Kay-Z. When plunking down a rumored $100 MM on the ultimate construction tab, we figured it's the least we could do.
5. Summertime hockey: Dub's design supposedly features outdoor restaurant terraces which he explained on the radio this morning "allow people to go outside during the game and enjoy a drink" (or something to that effect). First of all, has Gene Dub been to an Oilers game? Great Scott, one doesn't leave the arena to enjoy a drink unless one wants one's drink to freeze solid. Secondly, what possible business could you have outside during an Oilers game? It's balderdash unless you design the arena with year after year of playoff hockey in mind.
Like we did. You can tell from the joyous look on the sun's face that we are witnessing hockey in the late spring/early summer. Good arena design can up the performance of its tenants and our version of RX2 is no exception.
6. Happy players: We don't know how much arena quality actually affects the morale, attitude and ultimate performance of players. As a young minor hockey player in Edmonton we had some of our best performances at Tipton Arena. If there is a bigger crap basket within the city limits we would like to know what you think it is. Nevertheless, our RX2 has been designed with the players in mind. The wide smiles on the faces of the Oilers in our diagram displays their happiness with the new arena. This higher level of player satisfaction will ultimately result in better results on the new ice -- or so goes the idea.
7. Seating capacity of over 20,000: There are many reasons that a new arena is being proposed. Revitalizing downtown, abandoning an outdated facility or dealing a death blow to Diesel Ultra Lounge -- take your pick. The real benefit of a new arena would be a larger seating capacity, assuming Edmontonians continue to sell out the building. You can clearly see the expanded seating capacity in our proposal at number seven. The difference on the bottom line between the current capacity is significant:
- Current capacity: 16,839
- Our new capacity: 20,500
- Difference: 3,661
- Average ticket price: $61.69
- Increased revenue per game: $225,847.09
- Additional gross profit per season (41 regular season home games): $9,259,730.69
Who wants a free Marian Hossa courtesy of RX2?
8. Whyte Avenue already on fire: Armed with a new arena, sporting fantastic ice and flush with an additional $9.2 MM per season in revenue, Edmontonians have preemptively lit Whyte Avenue on fire in celebration of seasons to come. Semper fi.
November 25 2008, 12:01PM
Wayne, can you make a copy of that picture that I can use as my desktop picture? (I'm totally serious, that's freakin' awesome!)
Excellent post on the arena, by the way. Although I think mass transit should be a centrepiece of the arena (as in Boston, Montreal, Vancouver, etc., and unlike Ottawa, where no one goes to the games no matter how good the team is because it's a total pain in the ass).
November 25 2008, 12:17PM
I am the law -
It has been sent. Anyone else who wants a piece of history can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will send you an autographed and electronically framed version of my design.
You're welcome humanity.
I would like to see an integrated hotel in the arena complex. Good for "Hockey Tourism" and gives us a chance to house the opposing team right in the facility. The more pleasant you can make the stay of future UFA's the better from a recruiting standpoint.
November 25 2008, 12:41PM
Speaking of revenues.... Wanye, you ever going to give us the rest of that financial piece you were doing? sorry to pressure you.
Love the design and especially the smiley players faces. Good work.
Now if only we can get the government to get their collective heads out of their asses and pony up the dough. It will be good for the city, the province and the nation.
Besides, they bought the friggin saddledome, now it's our turn.
Firstly, the civic flower of Edmonton is the marigold? When the hell did that happen? Was it put to vote amongst the good citizens of E-Town or did the powerful marigold lobbyists have their way with the Brian Andersons of 100 years ago when this decision was made?
You must mean Terry Cavanagh.
November 25 2008, 01:23PM
I believe you guys have just delivered a death blow to all proposals past and future. Good job!
Nice! You forgot the main reason for the whole thing - corporate suites. 30 new ones at say $250K each per. Now you're talkin'.
Wanye... you failed to see the underground parking in the Gene Dub design. There's no way you're building more surface parking downtown either. Check connect2edmonton or oilfans for further pictures than just the video.
Otherwise a fun read.
And oh ya, the marigold has been our flower since 1964. Something about being the gateway to the Klondike gold rush inspired that one. Maybe we can fire the marigold just like we fired Klondike Days though.
November 25 2008, 03:49PM
Do you have a link to anything about this on Oilfans? We're sure everyone would be interested in it.
November 25 2008, 03:57PM
Wanye...is parking a biatch downtown at 7:00PM? Cause I've always known the downtown core to be pretty ghost-townish on a weekday night. I don't think too many games are gonna be played 9:00-5:00.
November 25 2008, 04:53PM
Chris H -
You make a good point parking is easier to find in the evenings. Living and working downtown, I also can attest to the fact it is becoming much tougher to find parking in the evening depending on the night.
Friday and Saturday nights within a two block radius of Jasper Ave is starting to look like 2 blocks around Whyte Ave.
Note to our NYC and Vancouver readers: Please ignore our complaints. We have nothing on you folks for parking.
It shouldn't look as though Frank Gehry took 20 hits of acid and slapped it together in a morning's work.
LOL- I like the design but that is a really funny line.
November 25 2008, 08:39PM
I somewhat disagree with your number one architectural feature Wanye... while I am all for something "pleasing" I don't think it should be simply "really nice". Most of the buildings in Edmonton were all really nice for a few days...then they just ended up being really boring. Don't let it be marginal!
November 25 2008, 10:34PM
Did you at least appreciate the Frank Gehry joke? That was written with you in mind.
November 26 2008, 05:59AM
With Katz borrowing $100 million from Cit group and credit no longer existing - are the McKesson group that is Katz' master in terms of Rexall Pharmaceutical control going to loan Batman some cake - or is Uncle Daryl going to the city, province, feds and use Northlands as a conveyance for this downtown real estate debacle - I mean dream. Most parking lot owners have been approached several times by groups with similar ties back to Mandel and Katz - these worm farmers are sending them packing making a forced city sale at higher pricing the end game.
Oiler fans - be prepared for a MORE of a class system in RX2 - where your tickets are 15% more, with concessions definitely better than the Northlands horse food - with higher pricing that regular Joe Fan cannot sustain over 42 games - sorry no playoffs.
Why is Gene Dub promoting his Army and Navy land site - it is not in the 6 recommended sites from the selection committee.
Remember - if the house of cards comes down from Rexall Owner McKesson and Kat line of credit is no longer valid - we have another wanna be owner that the NHL has seen in the likes of McNall, Pocklington and so on......
This brings the PERSONAL SEAT LICENSE at $25K per seat lower bowl if the economy picks up and the oilers are better than 8th. This raises $500 million from the citizens of Edmonton and puts the cash flow back into Uncle Daryl's hands - as the other $100 million to purchase for the Oil has been speculated that McKesson coughed it up for the Rexall brand.
Check the Oiler prices in the league - they are in the top 5 for price with no perks - you can go to a game in Philly, Tampa and have unlimited drinks and buffet for $25 more - market conditions prevail when you have a monopoly in a one sports city - country.
The question is when the cards fall - who is the next Oilers owner - the past of Boots, Samueli, Rigas, is coming up to prove that Pharmecueticals companies are backing Rexall - not Batman.
The last time I checked the Glendale arena was failing and the weather there is better than here - the outdoor restuarants with the Jimmy Buffet experience with FREE Parking were not full - the last time I checked OIL was at $50 - maybe a slowdown will focus on a new iceplant rather than a new building - the line for Skyboxes could come to a standstill.....
Yes - JFK was shot by his own rogue government.
Deep Oil
November 26 2008, 06:05AM
Here is the Forbes article that provides information that Katz is partnering with MCKESSON for the Rexall brand -
A team with the max amount loan allowed by the league - from an alleged billionaire brings into question what the end game here is - FANS pay for the team via a seat license - make tons of coin for Katz, Mandel and friends via land development and Northlands acquiring government money via the community angle - the city citizens are too stupid to figure it out.

The son of a pharmacist cobbled together 2,000 pharmacies to create one of the biggest pharmacy chains in North America. The Edmonton, Alta.-based Katz (pronounced "Cates") Group is also one of Canada's largest private companies. Starting in the 1990s Katz bought up distressed pharmacy chains with the help of drug distributor McKesson, then hired capable execs to turn the chains around. Katz is now using the Rexall name to rebrand his stores; plans to open 100 new ones in Canada using existing cash flow to fund them.

Springfield police are investigating a growing telephone scam targeting city residents. In the calls, the scammers claim a family member is being held for a cash ransom, or has been involved in an accident and money needs to be wired right away.
Police spokesman John Delaney says during the past several weeks, his department has been inundated by victims who have been contacted by unknown callers on their cell phones.
"On one occasion, I was walking down the hallway when I was approached by a woman and her family," Delaney says. "They were in tears, actually. They thought their dad and her husband was being held captive somewhere, and [the caller] wanted $10,000 brought to their abductors before the person was released."
Delaney says the claims so far have been false. The callers initially targeted Spanish-speaking residents, but now target the entire community. And he says the callers are using personal information about their victims to sound believable.
"There's a lot of information out there that people aren't careful with, through social media pages and things of that nature. We believe that's how they're getting information about their victims," Delaney says.
Delaney says he's heard from other western Massachusetts police departments who have received similar complaints.
He says anybody receiving such a call should tell the scammer they're contacting police immediately, then hang up and call authorities.

Canada vs. Netherlands International Women's Volleyball Series: August 16-21
WATERLOO, Ont. Volleyball Canada is excited to announce that the National Women's Volleyball Team will be hosting the Netherlands for a four game series in Ontario this August. The four matches are scheduled to take place as follows:
Tuesday, August 16th: Oshawa, ON General Motors Centre - 7:30pm
Thursday, August 18th: Hamilton, ON McMaster University Burridge Gymnasium - 7:30pm
Saturday, August 20th: Waterloo, ON University of Waterloo Physical Activities Complex - 7:30pm
Sunday, August 21st: Waterloo, ON University of Waterloo Physical Activities Complex - 3:00pm
This series will offer fans in Ontario an opportunity to see Team Canada's top line up face the Netherlands as both teams prepare for the Olympic Qualification process that will begin the following month. Both the Canadian (ranked 20th in the world) and Netherlands (ranked 12th) national teams will be showing off their A-squads as these matches will be instrumental in their preparations and lead up to their respective zone championships the following month.
"We had a great experience last year at the world championship in Japan, we learned a lot at that event, and we noticed that we are not that far away from the top teams in the world," stated the Canadian Women's Head Coach Arnd Ludwig. "But to close the gap we need to play more matches against the top teams in the world, and these matches against the Netherlands, currently ranked 12th in the world and the 2009 European silver medallists, will offer us that opportunity. Another positive aspect of this series is that we will play against a team from Europe. Last year at the world championship a lot of our players played for the first time in their career against teams that were not from the American continent."
"This is a huge year for Team Canada and to take the next step we need to play as many games against good teams as possible," echoed Canada's world class offensive weapon and Ontario and Kitchener-Waterloo's own Sarah Pavan. "The Netherlands will bring the competitive environment that we need to experience. This is a great opportunity for Ontario's volleyball community to see the game played at it's highest level and I am excited to wear our country's uniform in my home province for the first time."
Tickets to all matches in the series will be on sale by the end of this week.

23 December 2006 – 6 May 2007
Grace Crowley was a leading figure in the development of modernism in Australia. Born in rural New South Wales in 1890, Crowley's life and art intersected with some of the major movements in 20th-century art.
Crowley's long artistic journey over five decades from painter of traditional landscapes to avant-garde abstracts was extraordinary. While Crowley is still best known for her cubist paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, Grace Crowley: being modern includes works that have never before been exhibited and reveals the full extent of Crowley's contribution to Australian art.

WE'RE HEARING the unlikely duo of counseling and technology may be useful in reducing lender costs in the light of the qualified mortgage.
Last week, I began sharing my ideas with you about the long-awaited QM rule issued by the CFPB a week or so ago. The rule, as you may recall, focused on the consumer's "ability to repay" and how that would impact the underwriting standards for the industry.
So, how could the residential mortgage industry leverage budgeting as part of the review of a consumer's ability to pay? Is it practical to do such an analysis and would the cost exceed the benefits of this approach?
At Stratmor, we spend a lot of time with lenders trying to reduce their costs, and we know that any approach that increases costs or decreases productivity is going to face a challenge being adopted.
Here are a couple of ideas that may be worth exploring. First, I am not advocating eliminating gross income DTI analysis. I am rather saying that innovative lenders should pursue options.
In fact, the QM rule seems to have good options for conforming mortgages through leveraging agency underwriting engines (DU and LP). But the opportunity for cash flow analysis may be appropriate for nonconforming borrowers who need the more robust review of their financials. But how could the process work?
I think the answer may be in a combination of counseling and technology.
The counseling approach involves having experts on family budgeting review the personal expenses and income of a borrower and create a personal budget. There are nonprofit agencies that perform this function for those that get into debt trouble, and they do this for a fairly low cost, far below the typically cost of a loan officer.
It involves training, and could leverage statistical models that have the borrower answer a series of questions about their expenditures or household situation, e.g., marital status, children, ages, other dependents, etc., which could guide the budget process.
This past week, I received emails and blog responses about how QM could kill the broker business. Perhaps a broker budget tool could be a great way for brokers to demonstrate their value proposition and ability to work through this cash-flow analysis to qualify potential borrowers.
And technology may offer an even slicker option in the form of online tools to automatically create a budget based on real time analysis of a borrower's existing accounts.
In fact, if you are an experienced user of online banking, there is a good chance that you may already have access to some of this technology. Many banks leverage tools for account aggregation, where an account holder can view his bank accounts, and bank accounts from other institutions with a single login.
Well, that same technology could be leveraged to aggregate the accounts into a view that shows how much a potential borrower could afford. In fact, an example of such a technology from PowerWallet was discussed late last year at the SourceMedia Mortgage Technology Conference in Florida.
DTI is an important metric and it will likely always be in our industry. It's easy to calculate which is a good thing. But it's really a calculation that can be defined as "divide some of your expenses into an income that is more than you receive…"
When phrased that way, it may not truly reflect a borrower's ability to pay, and there should be room in our industry to determine an alternative method based on cash flow, by analyzing the true net income and the true expenses of a borrower. The lenders that come up with such approaches may see significant opportunity in gaining market share and profits over time.

|In response to Re: New home....concrete floor or crawl for plumbing repair ease ???
: In Arizona, I don't think they would even consider a crawl space no matter how much you wanted to spend. The water piping is all under the slab and there are relatively few problems. The majority of the underfloor leaks are caused by the plumber kinking the tubing when he comes up in the wall and the hot water flexes the kink. Over time the constant hot/cold cycles cause the kink to develop a crack. If this were to occur, you homeowner's insurance normally covers the cost of the repairs, minus your deductible and the cost of actually repairing the pipe.If the water piping, particularly the hot water, is enclosed in a foam insulation, which you should do anyway for energy savings, you shold have no problems.
