The nearly three dozen subprime lenders across the nation who failed have garnered the least sympathy. Put simply, they gambled and lost. But some borrowers fall in that category as well because they were looking to profit from house-price appreciation. Instead, they are facing foreclosure. Investors in securities issued against pools of subprime mortgages have also felt pain, as the market value of these securities has declined. Lehman Brothers estimates the decline at $19 billion. Most of it is concentrated among the riskiest of the securities, which promised the highest yields. (No collection plates are being passed for them, either.)

Given the minimal news coverage it's received, you might think that a $7 million donation is an everyday occurrence, something so common it hardly merits comment.

There's no question that most Americans suffer from obesity. Face it, we're fat. And so are our homes, at least when measured by the number of bedrooms.
According to the latest data from the Census Bureau, one in five occupied houses in 2005 had at least four bedrooms.
Utah, Census says, has more four-or-more bedroom houses that any other state. Nearly four out of every 10 houses in Utah has at least four sleeping rooms. Maryland ranks second at just under three out of every 10, followed by Virginia at 26.5 percent, Minnesota at 26.2 percent, and North Dakota at 26.1 percent.
