This and That

Here are some miscellaneous links of interest from the weekend:

• More talk of a peak in housing

• Capacity constraints push oil prices up 50% ytd to $67

• Oil does not seem to be denting consumer spending yet

• Another step in the evolution of downloadable television programming

• Flat-panel prices are coming down (should help spur holiday sales)

• Ouch. Bad news for the Bears (and I'm not talking about the market)

• Will Mickelson hang on to the lead?

• Weekend box office tallies

• What's with the Sopranos schedule? I'd boycott that show if I didn't like it so much
