Question: In the early and mid-2000s, the Bush administration called numerous times for investigation into the safety and soundness of the GSEs and their swelling portfolio of subprime mortgages. On September 10, 2003, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing at the urging of the administration to assess safety and soundness issues and to review a recent report by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) that had uncovered accounting discrepancies within the two entities. The hearings never resulted in new legislation or formal investigation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as many of the committee members refused to accept the report and instead rebuked OFHEO for their attempt at regulation. Some believe this was an early warning to the systemic risk that the growing market in subprime mortgages posed to the U.S. financial system that went unheeded.
Is there an answer to this question: What was the result of the House Financial Services Committee on September 10, 2003 regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?

Answer: The hearings never resulted in new legislation or formal investigation

Question: Unhappy with this change of policy by the Portuguese government, Napoleon sent an army to invade Portugal. On 17 October 1807, 24,000 French troops under General Junot crossed the Pyrenees with Spanish cooperation and headed towards Portugal to enforce Napoleon's orders. This attack was the first step in what would eventually become the Peninsular War, a six-year struggle that significantly sapped French strength. Throughout the winter of 1808, French agents became increasingly involved in Spanish internal affairs, attempting to incite discord between members of the Spanish royal family. On 16 February 1808, secret French machinations finally materialized when Napoleon announced that he would intervene to mediate between the rival political factions in the country. Marshal Murat led 120,000 troops into Spain and the French arrived in Madrid on 24 March, where wild riots against the occupation erupted just a few weeks later. Napoleon appointed his brother, Joseph Bonaparte, as the new King of Spain in the summer of 1808. The appointment enraged a heavily religious and conservative Spanish population. Resistance to French aggression soon spread throughout the country. The shocking French defeat at the Battle of Bailen in July gave hope to Napoleon's enemies and partly persuaded the French emperor to intervene in person.
Is there an answer to this question: The invasion of Portugal was the beginning of what six-year conflict?

Answer: the Peninsular War

Question: The province of France has produced a large number of preachers. The conferences of Notre-Dame-de-Paris were inaugurated by Pere Lacordaire. The Dominicans of the province of France furnished Lacordaire (18351836, 18431851), Jacques Monsabre (18691870, 18721890), Joseph Ollivier (1871, 1897), Thomas Etourneau (18981902).[citation needed] Since 1903 the pulpit of Notre Dame has been occupied by a succession of Dominicans. Pere Henri Didon (d. 1900) was a Dominican. The house of studies of the province of France publishes L'Annee Dominicaine (founded 1859), La Revue des Sciences Philosophiques et Theologiques (1907), and La Revue de la Jeunesse (1909). French Dominicans founded and administer the Ecole Biblique et Archeologique francaise de Jerusalem founded in 1890 by Pere Marie-Joseph Lagrange O.P. (18551938), one of the leading international centres for Biblical research. It is at the Ecole Biblique that the famed Jerusalem Bible (both editions) was prepared.
Is there an answer to this question: What is the name of another French Dominican friar during this time?

Answer: Thomas Etourneau

Question: Many of the instruments used to perform medieval music still exist, but in different forms. Medieval instruments included the wood flute (which in the 21st century is made of metal), the recorder and plucked string instruments like the lute. As well, early versions of the organ, fiddle (or vielle), and trombone (called the sackbut) existed. Medieval instruments in Europe had most commonly been used singly, often self accompanied with a drone note, or occasionally in parts. From at least as early as the 13th century through the 15th century there was a division of instruments into haut (loud, shrill, outdoor instruments) and bas (quieter, more intimate instruments).
Is there an answer to this question: Medieval instrument in Europe were commonly used how?

Answer:
singly
