Did some GRE review today. Yesterday was temporary madness, because I worked on a paper craft model for over 3 hours, only to be stooped by the fact that I could not assemble my beagles rear feet. To compound things, I hadn't eaten anything all day except for the warm, delicious, fired glazed thing they call an APPLE FRITTER. With my stomach on empty and a 90% complete beagle, I felt delirious. Luckily A took me to taco bell and introduced me to their new volcano taco! With a stomach on full I was back on broadway baby!!

"JPMorgan Chase buys WaMu assets after FDIC seizure"

"NEW YORK (AP) — JPMorgan Chase & Co. Inc. came to the rescue of Washington Mutual Inc. Thursday, buying the thrift's banking assets after WaMu was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in the largest failure ever of a U.S. bank. This is the second time in six months that JPMorgan Chase has taken over a major financial institution crippled by bad bets in the mortgage market.

The deal will cost JPMorgan Chase $1.9 billion, and the bank said in a statement it planned to write down WaMu's loan portfolio by approximately $31 billion. JPMorgan Chase, which acquired Bear Stearns Cos. last March, also said it would sell $8 billion in common stock to raise its capital position.

The FDIC, which insures bank deposits, said it would not have to dip into the insurance fund as a result of the seizure. There had been concerns that the fund, which took a big hit after the seizure of IndyMac Bank, could be depleted by a WaMu seizure.

WaMu "was under severe liquidity pressure," FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair told reporters in a conference call.

"For all depositors and other customers of Washington Mutual Bank, this is simply a combination of two banks," Bair said in a statement. "For bank customers, it will be a seamless transition. There will be no interruption in services and bank customers should expect business as usual come Friday morning."
