Potential mortgage borrowers with debt-to-income ratios in the 45%-range and FICO scores as low as 700 can now obtain mortgage insurance through Genworth Financial (GNW). |
The insurance company is tweaking its pricing and underwriting guidelines to allow more borrowers with conventional mortgages to qualify for insurance. |
Richmond, Va.-based Genworth said the new pricing changes will take effect May 14. The changes are expected to cut monthly premium rates for borrowers and lender-paid insurance on mortgages with LTV ratios of 95% and under. |
Borrowers with credit scores under 760 will now be eligible for new, reduced mortgage insurance rates, the firm said. There will be no change in premiums on insurance for mortgages with LTVs above 95%. |
The new pricing schedule will allow the firm to accept mortgages with a minimum FICO of 700 for loans with debt-to-income levels of 41% to 45%. In addition, the plan will end distinctions between retail and third-party lender originations, while increasing cash-out refinancing eligibility for condos. |
These pricing and guideline adjustments will make it easier for our lender partners to offer affordable mortgage insurance coverage to more borrowers and position USMI to compete in our targeted market segments, while maintaining a disciplined risk management approach that ensures we still can provide a close review of... |

Jack Guiney is unlikely to feature for Wexford in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship. |
The Rathnure man has returned to his club, with Wexford coach Seoirse Bulfin saying Guiney is managing a knee injury. |
Guiney only featured off the bench in the early stages of their League campaign, but did play in the Wexford Club Championship last week. |
Wexford are believed to be partaking in a warm-weather training camp this week. |
They begin their Leinster campaign against Dublin on May 20. |
HAS former Arsenal star Lauren confirmed the signing of Petr Cech from Chelsea? |
The ex-Gooner my have slightly jumped the gun by taking to Twitter to welcome Cech to the Emirates. |
"All the best to Cech. Long time without stability in that position and another great gooner move to get the Premier League," he wrote. |
The Chelsea veteran is expected to make Arsenal history by becoming the highest paid keeper in the club's history. |
The 32-year-old is set to join Arsenal in a £10million move that will see him pocket £100,000-a-week. |
Cech had reportedly turned down a whopping £15,000-a-week move to PSG in favour to stay in London where his family are settled. |
ROAST dinner fans rejoice - you can now order your Toby Carvery online to enjoy in the comfort of your own home - but you will have to collect it yourself. |
The carvery specialist launched its takeaway service, which is available seven days a week at all its branches, this week. |
If you're happy with your meat and two veg, you'll be pleased to hear you can select up to four different meats - as you can in restaurants - plus lamb on Sundays. |
These are: roast beef with a beef dripping glaze, roast gammon with a pomegranate glaze, roast pork with an apple and sage glaze, and roast turkey. |
You can then opt for a Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes or beef dripping potatoes, and gravy or vegetarian gravy. |
But when it comes to the veg, sadly you can't pick your own. |
Toby Carvery says you'll be given four freshly steamed or roasted vegetables, which will differ depending on the season. Currently, you can get peas, carrots, sprouts and parsnips, for example. |
But customers aren't happy about this. |
One Twitter user wrote: "I don’t like the cauliflower cheese or mash, so how do you pick what vegetables to have on your on your carvery?" |
Another commented: "It’s not a detailed enough menu. You can pass on the Yorkshire and the gravy but you can’t add mash or onions in gravy which are my fave!" |
But other users are pleased about the option to tuck into a Toby from home. One Twitter user wrote: "This has made my year! Can't wait to order." |
Prices are the same for the takeaway service as if you were eating in the restaurant, which seems a bit steep given you'll have to do your own washing up. |
But there are no additional fees for using the takeaway service - just be prepared to nip down to your local restaurant to pick up your meal as Toby doesn't offer a delivery service yet. |
And don't expect to be able to pay using cash in the restaurant - you'll need to pay by card when you place your online order. |
You can also order other items on your local Toby Carvery's menu, such as "Toby Tasters" - its array of mini bites - starters, non-carvery mains, desserts and even soft drinks. |
To place an order, go to the 'Takeaway' section on the Toby Carvery website. You can then search for your nearest restaurant. |
Once selected, you'll need to pick what time you want to order your Toby - first and last collection times will vary by restaurant - and then you'll be shown your local menu to pick from. |
A Toby Carvery spokesperson: “We’re very excited to have launched our new Toby takeaway option. |
Roast dinner fans can now get their hands on a Christmas dinner wrapped in a Yorkshire pudding at Morrisons. |

Mexico: AMLO government's first 100 days, where is the fourth transformation going? |
The first 100 days of Andrés Manuel López Obrador's government have passed. Although this is a relatively short space of time, it is enough to know the fundamental features of his administration. This article was originally published in Spanish on the Mexican website of the IMT, La Izquierda Socialista. |
To help control mosquitoes, the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department will conduct mosquito-spraying activities throughout the summer. Spraying will start in the evening hours when mosquitoes are most active from May 31 through June 30. |
The health department uses Duet, a spray produced by Clarke Mosquito Control. Duet features a component that stimulates resting mosquitoes in trees and foliage, causing them to fly into the air and come into contact with the spray's mosquito-killing agent, sumithrin. |
Duet has been tested for human and animal safety and is registered for outdoor residential and recreational areas, according to a release from the health department. Humans can go outside immediately after Duet is sprayed, and the product is not corrosive or staining, so there should be no damage to cars or houses. |
Dates for spraying in specific ZIP codes are: May 31: 40502; June 1: 40503, 40514; June 2: 40510, 40513, 40504; June 6: 40505; June 7: 40507, 40508; June 8: 40509; June 9: 40511; June 13: 40515, 40517; June 14: 40502; June 15: 40503, 40514; June 16: 40504, 40510, 40513; June 20: 40505; June 21: 40507, 40508; June 22: 4... |
After the game, Richt light-heartedly told WQAM’s Don Bailey Jr. that he would also play Jackson on offense (tight end) and throw Jackson two fades for touchdowns if he agrees to return to school next season. |
The Canes have been hurt by early defections the past several years, and Jackson represents the next big challenge. If Jackson returns for his senior season, he and sophomore Jon Garvin would be as talented as any starting defensive end combo in the country next year, as UM tries again to qualify for a playoff berth th... |
Without Jackson next year, Garvin would see more double teams and UM would have no other defensive end with substantial game experience beyond redshirt junior Scott Patchan. |
Greg Rousseau, whose freshman season will mostly be wiped out by injury, and freshmen Patrick Joyner Jr. would round out UM’s top four ends if Jackson turns pro. Demetrius Jackson is a senior, incidentally. |
UM also will go into December unsure if it can keep its three junior linebackers, among others. The Canes’ chances of being a top-five program next season naturally improve appreciably if all three stay. |
But all that’s a concern for another day. Jaquan Johnson and Michael Jackson did bypass the NFL to return to school this season. But Mark Richt said he gives the players the information they need to make a decision instead of pressuring them to return. |
Joe Jackson’s good work Thursday included the 42-yard interception return for a touchdown, followed soon after by a sack. |
▪ Thursday featured a drastic range of defensive plays – awesome a lot of the time, awful at other times. |
There was plenty of awesomeness, including the Jackson pick after Gerald Willis applied pressure, the Shaq Quarterman strip sack that Garvin scooped up for a 9-yard touchdown return, the Jhavonte Dean interception, the Romeo Finley interception returned 83 yards for a TD, plus 10 tackles for loss in the first half, and... |
But there were also too many long runs against a defense that had permitted opponents to average only 2.1 per carry entering the game. Pat Bethel was sealed off on one of those four runs of 15-plus yards in the first half, with Zach McCloud missing a tackle. |
Amari Carter took a bad angle on another of those chunk runs. D.J. Ivey was faked out on another run. |
On the 17-yard TD run by North Carolina quarterback Chaz Surratt, a play in which three backs lined up behind him, Garvin was hoodwinked and ran the wrong way, Quarterman was blocked and Redwine couldn’t make the tackle before Surratt got in the end zone. |
Still, there was a lot of good, even beyond the six plays that brought out the turnover chain. Mike Smith played very well in relief of Quarterman, who departed in the third quarter with an ankle injury, before Smith also left with an injury. Willis as usual, was impactful, but he also had two damaging 15-yard penaltie... |
▪ In all three of his appearances this season, Perry has made a handful of pinpoint throws that verify the universal belief that he has a much higher ceiling than Malik Rosier. His five-yard TD throw to Darrell Langham, in the back of the end zone, was impressive because there was so little margin for error on that one... |
And let’s not make this too complicated: Perry looks every bit as mobile and elusive as Rosier, and his accuracy is significantly better. Rosier’s accuracy simply wasn’t good enough on intermediate routes. On Thursday, Perry was 4 for his first 5 on passes thrown between 12 and 30 yards. |
And he was a magician avoiding a sack on two plays, including one on a 3rd and 26 that could have been as sack but ended up being a 13-yard run. |
Perry’s interception, though a risky throw into double coverage, was more a case of a great play by North Carolina in coverage on Mike Harley Jr. than an egregious error. |
But Perry’s earlier fumble was something that can’t happen. Perry was very hard on himself on the sidelines after the interception, ESPN reported. |
Perry threw only 12 times, completing eight for 125 yards, the one touchdown and the one interception. |
▪ Credit Rosier for comporting himself well Thursday, including encouraging teammates on the sideline, as ESPN’s Laura Rutledge reported. He’s assuredly disappointed about losing his job not long after a five touchdown game against Toledo, and the media might never have a chance to talk to him again in the coming weeks... |
Though Richt spoke of wanting to get Lorenzo Lingard and Cam Davis more involved, neither had a carry – largely because Travis Homer and Dallas were running well. Dallas closed with 114 yards on 11 carries (a 10.4 average), and Homer with 14 for 88, including the 56-yard run that set up Dallas’ four-yard touchdown run ... |
▪ Defensive ruminations: The three defensive touchdowns tied the most ever in a game by the Hurricanes. Before Thursday, it last happened in a game against West Virginia in 2000… North Carolina finished with 215 yards rushing on 40 attempts (5.4 per carry). UM entered allowing just 78.8 rushing yards per game over its ... |
Finley has done a terrific job in coverage at UM’s new striker position this season. According to Herald correspondent Daniel Gould, he entered Thursday having not allowed a completion in his coverage area this season. And he had the pick six against UNC…. Jaquan Johnson could have played but was kept out to give his h... |

Grid allows business administrators to set up each team inside their organization with their own centrally managed Slack instance. Those workspaces can then be linked together using shared channels, and all of the people inside an enterprise can direct- message one another, even if they’re not part of the same workspac... |
Grid may help turn some of that tide, however. Organizations that buy into it will give IT departments the ability to deploy companywide policies over how Slack works inside a particular organization. For example, it’s possible for an organizational admin to prevent anyone from creating publicly shared links of Slack p... |
However, Grid also allows organizational admins to cede control of certain functionality to the people running each workspace. That means the marketing team can keep a lid on Giphy integration, while engineers share all the silly animated reactions that they want. |
MANCHESTER CITY go away to Cardiff in the FA Cup fourth round this Sunday - but who will start for City? |
Pep Guardiola’s side booked their place in the Carabao Cup final on Tuesday evening. |
After a 2-1 first-leg win over Bristol City at the Etihad, the Premier League leaders edged out a 3-2 win at Ashton Gate in the second to set up a Wembley date with Arsenal on February 25th. |
Next up for them is a trip to Cardiff in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup on Sunday, but who will Guardiola choose to start? |
The Spaniard will be without long-term absentee Benjamin Mendy, as well as Phil Foden and Gabriel Jesus - while Vincent Kompany is an injury doubt. |

FOR a sixth-consecutive year, the fatalities soar pass the dreaded 300 boundary set by the Ministry of Transport's Road Safety Unit (RSU). As of yesterday, the figure stood at 351. |
Kenute Hare, director of the RSU, says the agency's target of keeping the toll under 300 is realistic but hampered by irresponsible behaviour on island's roads. |
“It's tough, but while the task is arduous, we are going to meet it,” he told the Jamaica Observer's weekly Auto magazine. |
While Hare may be optimistic, his agency, using 2001 as the base year, had projected that 372 would have been killed in traffic crashes this year. Next year's projection is 325. |
So given the data and evidence, is under 300 an unattainable target? |
Last year the fatality figure was 302, while in 2016 it was 358. |
