The number of transactions last month, 88, also picked up in April when compared to March, which saw a relatively anemic 48 transactions, according to a report Land Title Guarantee Company issued this week.

All Business: Government-backed housing bailout badly needed

by Rachel Beck, Mountain Business Journal Columnist
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
NEW YORK — A government-backed mortgage bailout is needed, and it must be done right away.

Before shouting about all the reasons why taxpayers shouldn’t rescue the profligate who took on more debt than they could handle, think about this: New research estimates one in 33 subprime borrowers will foreclose on their homes in the next two years.

Digital Slob: Space invaders will be green with envy over earth gear

Aspen Daily News Staff Report
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
When aliens from planet Zarkon attack Earth, instantly grinding our military industrial complex into a fine powder before methodically converting humanity into a highly viscous, slightly spicy aquamarine condiment, will you be ready?

I don’t mean ready to fight back -- let Tom Cruise, Will Smith and Sigourney Weaver earn their Oscar gift bags as usual -- but rather, are you ready to keep your Digital Slob lifestyle on life support after common necessities like McDonald’s, fuel and the Dish Network’s “America’s Everything Pak” go on an extended national-emergency hiatus?

Horoscopes

  • Aries
    • Working with others always takes talent, no matter how good you are at it. You might want to mobilize another's support. You discover that you cannot do a project or event alone. Welcome changes. Tonight: Say yes.

  • Taurus
    • Others dominate, and you feel that is OK. Knowing when to put a halt to a problem could be important. You might not be able to stop the project, but you can extricate yourself from the process. Someone might let you know how angry he or she is. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

  • Gemini
    • You make a point of doing something in a particular manner. Your ability to move a project forward or do something differently might be important to a partner. Right now, let this person ask. You will be happier. Tonight: Easy works.

  • Cancer
    • Your creativity flourishes under pressure. You enjoy what many cannot. Let humor, fun and happiness punctuate your day. A relationship warms up because of your enthusiasm and understanding. Tonight: Let the fun continue.

  • Leo
    • You want to understand what motivates others. Primary to this process is understanding what makes you tick. You could become argumentative out of the blue. Be smart: Walk away from a hot problem. Tonight: Easy does it.

  • Virgo
    • If you're wise, you will notice your building anger and decide to express it not as rage or frustration but as hurt. The sooner you express these fragile feelings, the better off you (and others) will be. Let your creativity sleuth through a problem. Tonight: Share your thoughts.

  • Libra
    • Take your time making a money decision. Someone might be pushing you very hard. You can take charge of a situation only after you understand the different options. Stay focused on the long-term goal. Tonight: Your treat.

  • Scorpio
    • You might be all smiles while handling an aggravating individual. You also might move away from this person. A discussion is animated and important. A positive approach goes far. Try it. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

  • Sagittarius
    • Slow down. You might need some private time to deal with a child or loved one. Others demand your presence, whether you are ready or not. Be willing to act on a problem rather than ignore it. Take an overview. Tonight: Vanish quickly.

  • Capricorn
    • You might be more serious than your norm. Relax and join a friend or two who extend an invitation. You can't say no any longer. Deal with someone directly on a one-on-one level to achieve the results you desire. Tonight: Where the party is.

  • Aquarius
    • Look toward a public appearance. If someone you care about is contentious, know that it is for a good reason. Work with a partner if he or she is open enough. You are vested in a certain outcome. This attitude could be a problem. Know when to let go. Tonight: A must appearance.

  • Pisces
    • Hop in the car and take a day off to relax. Where you explore, of course, is your decision. Refresh your energy and recharge your mind in a different environment. Understanding grows between you and a key person. Tonight: Let your imagination make the
