Rates Take a Blood-Bath - Mortgage Applications Drop 9% Last Week

Follow & Review Us On: 

It can be hard to find sanity after a blood bath like yesterday, which is dog-piled on top of a tough 2 weeks for interest rates.  Especially, now that taking all the coupons into account, it is now apparent that today was the worst single intra-day for MBS’s since they’ve been tracked.

America's best high schools, 2013

U.S. News/Photo - The School for the Talented and Gifted in Dallas has again been named the best public high school in the nation by U.S. News.

Follow & Review Us On: 

The importance of a strong high school education cannot be overstated.

Good schools challenge students academically, while giving them ample opportunity to explore their interests. This combination can set teens up to succeed long after graduation. By contrast, subpar schools can leave students struggling to make the transition from high school to college or the workforce.

The 2013 Best High Schools rankings, released April 23, 2013, can help parents wade through the ever expanding options of public high schools. U.S. News collected data on more than 21,000 public high schools…
