We had our monthly society meeting today, with officer elections and member sharing (a tradition for the November meeting). This year, we asked our members to comment on their "2006 Research Successes" in 3 to 5 minute talks. We had 11 members share - all the way from long-time members down to one of our newest members (who joined in October). There was a tremendous variety of remarks - from pure research experience to vacation summaries. Here are my summary of each person: 1) Bobbie (new member in 2006) - found immigration records for her German great-grandparents, and found much French-Canadian data while searching for, and finding, a Native American link. 2) Barbara - found data on her biological grandfather in World War I draft registrations and marriage certificate. 3) Martha - found probate records in South Carolina for her RevWar ancestor. 4) Kathy (new member in 2006) - connected with cousin through Internet with 11 generations of family 5) Shirley - found 1850 to 1880 census data for a previously elusive family with four different surname spellings - added a generation of ancestors. 6) John - found land record in PA for an ancestor, then googled the surname and found cousin with two published books, which extended his line 3 more generations. 7) Randy - started a genealogy blog, organized a successful workshop, found many probate records in MA and RI, got a lead on parents of an elusive ancestor, and visited New England to visit relatives, take pictures and drive through Maine, NH, VT and MA looking at the foliage. 8) Bill - received an email from somebody who found a letter with his surname in a purchased used book. He also vacationed in NC and found connections. 9) Helen - vacationed in Philadelphia and found lots of info on her ancestor, James Wilson, a Declaration signer and Supreme Court Justice. 10) Jan - visited the National Archives, DAR, and Colonial Dames libraries in Washington DC and found RevWar connections. 11) Penny (new member in 2006) - received a letter from a distant cousin (who did not respond to her 1993 letter earlier) who provided lots of data and introduced her to cousins in CA and WA. Our members enjoy these sharing times because they reveal experiences and research tips, in addition to providing insight into their research problems. Several connections were made between members who had suggestions on further research. Yours truly was elected President of CVGS for the next two years, and very capable people were elected for the officer positions. Our challenge will be to continue the excellent programs, to find ways to help our members in their research, and to not mess up a really good thing.

GEN News Highlights : Nov 18, 2010 OSEO, the French state innovation agency, has pledged €10.4 million (about $14.3 million) to fund a six-year collaborative program led by Pharnext, focused on developing an early-stage diagnostic for Alzheimer disease (AD) and a corresponding therapeutic Pleodrug™. The funding will take the form of a €2.7 million grant and €7.7 million loan. The loan will only be repayable if the Dippal (diagnostic précoce et Pléothérapie de la maladie d’Alzheimer) project is successful. Collaborating with Pharnext will be biosystems international, the Bordeaux Center for Memory Resources and Research, the Unviersity Bordeaux Segalen, and Inserm’s epidemiology and biostatistics unit U897. The Dippal project has three main goals: To develop and validate a prototype multiparameter blood test for the early diagnosis of AD; to discover and develop a Pleodrug™ for the treatment of AD through to the end of Phase II; and to develop a companion diagnostic for monitoring Pleodrug’s effectiveness and determining whether there are subpopulations of responder patients. The prototype diagnostic, theranostic, and Pleodrug will subsequently be licensed out to relevant industry partners for further development and commercialization. Established in 2007, Pharnext is commercializing its pleotherapy platform, which is based on network pharmacology. The associated discovery engine is designed to identify rational drug combinations known as Pleodrugs, comprising cocktails of low-dose, off-patent drugs that have already been approved for other diseases. Pleodrugs are designed to target different mechanisms within the biological processes associated with a particular disease, Pharnext explains. A number of candidates are currently in development against a range of diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy, Charcot disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis and polycystic kidney disease. In June Pharnext inked an exclusive research, development, and marketing agreement with Ipsen for its lead candidate against Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Under the terms of this agreement Pharnext will carry out development of the Pleodrug to the end of Phase II clinical trials. Ipsen will then take over to further the development and commercialization of the drug in Europe, the U.S., China, and certain other territories. Pharnext retains exclusive rights in other key markets.

March 24, 2013: Study finds molecular 'signature' for rapidly increasing form of esophageal cancer From the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute: During the past 30 years, the number of patients with cancers that originate near the junction of the esophagus and stomach has increased approximately 600 percent in the United States. The first extensive probe of the DNA of these esophageal adenocarcinomas (EACs) has revealed that many share a distinctive mix-up of letters of the genetic code, and found more than 20 mutated genes that had not previously been linked to the disease. The research, led by scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the Broad Institute, and other research centers, may offer clues to why EAC rates have risen so sharply. The findings, which are being released as an advanced online publication by Nature Genetics, point to an array of abnormal genes and proteins that may be lynchpins of EAC cell growth and therefore serve as targets for new therapies, according to the study's authors.

Compression Genomics A collaborative effort between researchers at MIT and Harvard University has produced a new, high-speed genome search algorithm described in the latest issue of Nature Biotechnology. The new algorithm combines the power of data compression algorithms with genome alignment search tools. Capitalizing on the fact that most currently sequenced genomes are very similar to previously collected ones, the team exploited this redundancy to allow for computation on compressed genome data. This approach shaves off time during the analysis of highly similar genomes to that of the time it takes to operate on one genome. “You have all this data, and clearly, if you want to store it, what people would naturally do is compress it,” says Bonnie Berger, a professor.” As described in their Nature Biotechnology paper, the researchers have implemented accelerated versions of both Blast and BLAT and underscore the importance of compression as a way to cope with ever-increasing amounts of genome data. One obvious drawback of an approach like this is that, as more genomes are added to a database, the speed resulting from the analysis of compressed genomes decreases. Click here to download the source code for the prototype of their implementations.

Try it... membership not required! Go to our easy-to-use Directory for the latest products and services! Direct links to industry pros and resources to help you fine-tune your latest home project. The photos featured on Getdecorating.com represent some of the leading interior designers and architects in North America. With over 50,000 photos, Getdecorating has the largest collection of design and decorating pictures on the web. The number of photos posted next to the various subjects on the main screens is entirely accurate and is in fact a computerized count of the pictures as we enter them in the database. Please note that the screens indicate the number of photos in each category. In addition to the Photo Gallery and all its categories, there are thousands of interesting photos and comments under the Networking tab. These represent every category of home design and products associated with home construction, furnishing and home accessories and are provided by businesses, professionals and home owner members and are easily accessible by browsing or key word searches. Problems viewing the number of photos seem to occur for three main reasons: 1. Not clicking on pages. At the top of each category description i.e., Bathrooms/Powder/Master/Pool, the number of pages are shown followed by page number 1,2, 3, 4, 5, etc. It is necessary to click on these page numbers to go to the next screens. All screens contain nine "primary photos". (exception may be the last screen in the sequence). The arrow at the end of the number sequence indicates there are more pages to follow, you must click on the last page number in the sequence and you will see a "double arrow." Click on this arrow to go to the next sequence of page numbers. Continue to follow this procedure until there is no "double arrow" showing. 2. Not scrolling down. In order to see all photos it is necessary to click on each "primary image" and SCROLL DOWN to see the "associated photos". The reason we have designed the pages this way is to try and depict the greatest amount of detail associated with any given "primary photo". For example, if we had a picture of a living room as the primary photo, we may show a detail of the window covering, crown molding, ceiling, furniture etc. all used in that particular room. In this way the user can see much more than the large scene of any given room or exterior. Often what appears to be the same photo will have subtle differences to show such things as, hidden pantries in kitchens, or screens on sliding doors, or hidden cabinets in bedrooms, usually designed to accommodate television sets. The number of "associated photos" varies, with some pictures not having any and others as many as 25. All photos in the Photo Gallery are generally available in three sizes. The best detail can be seen using the largest photos. Using the thumbnails or the next smaller photo size, will allow you to browse more photos faster, rather than having to look at each one in the largest size. 3. Not deleting your Temporary Internet files. Your browser could contain a memory of the last photo pages you have been viewing and as a result your cache memory (Temporary Internet files) could be full. You can clear its memory by clearing the cache. In order to speed up web browsing, web browsers are designed to download web pages store them locally on your machine in an area called "cache". When you visit the same page for a second time or click the "back" button, the browser speeds up display time by loading the page locally from cache instead of downloading everything again, this sometimes results in less than current versions of web pages being displayed. If you believe that you have a less than current version of a page or unable to open more pages or see only the preview images, please use the following steps to clear the cache in your browser. You should clear cache at least once a week. Note: directions vary depending on whether you use the AOL, Internet Explorer or Netscape browser. However, for Internet Explorer and most browsers, go to the top of the browser, click on "tool" button and then click on "Internet options." A screen will open on the "General Tab" and show three headings. Go to "Temporary Internet files" and click on "Delete Cookies" and "Delete Files." This will clear your cache memory and overcome any problem viewing images. Please remember to click on Logout when finished browsing images, not the X on your browser. If you have not clicked on Logout you may have to re-type our URL into the address line of your browser and not use "favorites" until you have re-typed the URL. Once you have done this, then add to favorites again. You may also have a security issue, such as a firewall/spam blocker/anti-virus program that is not allowing our HTML pages through or your security settings are not allowing cookies to be enabled. Idea File You must be a member to use this function. The Idea File can be compared to tearing a page from a magazine, that is showing that perfect something you've been looking for. The next step is usually to find a retailer or service that may provide whatever it is your looking for. The Idea File, and refer to an interior designer, email to friends, print as a resource... all with a click of your mouse. To use, simply click on the words beneath each photo Idea File. You can save up to 75 in one file. When ready click on "email idea file," enter the email address and message in the "comments" box and click on "send email." The recipient will be able to see all the photos you have saved and your email message. Contains the names, addresses and web links for various companies throughout North America as well as many International countries. This selection is constantly growing. Our goal is to ultimately have the widest selection of home services on the web. Just click on Products & Services Directory at the top of main screens and select the region and business category you wish to see.

We’re chuffed to say that our revamped customers area is now live – and just in time for Christmas! This update includes a ton of improvements and we’ve also added a bunch of completely new features – including the ability to merge customers. The full list of changes include: Massive shout-out to our own Willy B. who has been labouring over this project for the last few weeks. Awesome work guys! Looks great. Just a friendly point-out that the ‘Import Customers’ tab now opens underneath the main Customer section. Keep up the good work, and Merry Christmas Thanks Andy – good spotting. We’ll get that fixed up. Merry Christmas to you and the team too! Pingback: Timely adds Facebook Appointments, Smarter SMS Messaging – BoxFreeIT : BoxFreeIT The MERGE feature is BRILLIANT ! ! ! You have saved me a lot of time on a weekly basis. I have been going in, working my way through the lists and manually merging customers for the past few months. Sometimes when customers book their own appointments online they mis-spell their name or a new customer file is created for them so I have had to change their appointments individually to the correct customer file etc. So YAY! Thanks for that! Great to hear! Warm fuzzies for us

There is nothing wrong with getting a tattoo. There is nothing wrong with asking a tattoo artist what would look good. A quality tattoo artist even if they'd never played the game or understand the reference can tell you whether the tattoo will turn out well long-term in terms of how it'll age. It's actually probably smarter to go this route because they won't be biased toward or against a character or quote. They are simply there to help you design a quality tattoo. You should come up with a short list of three or so games and look try to come up with three rough ideas per game. Take these to two or more tattoo shops and let them give you their inputs and appraisals. If that sounds like a lot of work, remember that this is your body and it's worth it. That being said, the Tatau from Far Cry 3 is a great tattoo, and furthermore, a great video game tattoo. Two birds. One Tatau. Log in to comment

ROLL OVER FOR ZOOM VIEW FULL SIZE IMAGE Medela Pump in Style Advanced On-The-Go Tote $299.00 PLEASE CHOOSE A REGISTRY LIST TO ADD YOUR GIFTS TO: Perfect for daily use, this powerful electric double pump is a favorite of moms everywhere! It simulates natural nursing patterns to help provide maximum milk flow, and comes in a stylish tote that lets you take it anywhere. Why it's a giggle pick This fully-loaded breast pump is the top-of-the-line model7.27 lbs. - AgeNewborn - 12 Months Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 26 reviewers. Rated 4 out of 5 Great, but handsfree is better You have to buy a handsfree bra in order to use this, which is ~$40, so I recommend, just buy the handsfree pump for the beginning. Being handsfree while pumping is absolutely necessary! December 12, 2012 Rated 4 out of 5 by pizzalover A must have for a working nursing mom! I used my Medela Pump in Style with both of my kids with great success. I was able to breast feed excessively through their first birthday while working full time, which was my goal. I will say that with my second child it seemed like toward the end the pump wasn't as strong. Maybe it was wearing out after being used multiple times a day through two kids? Not sure. Maybe it was just me too. But overall, it was easy to use, needed replacement parts were easy to get, and it worked well! December 11, 2012 Rated 5 out of 5 by RyansMom8 Must Have for Working Moms While it is not always ideal to have to be nursing and back at work, this pump makes the process so much easier. The cooler located in the bag is perfect, and the tote's bigger size allows you to stuff in extra parts. Three recommendations...if you need the battery pack, keep lots of extras on hand. It requires 8 but I found it drains them pretty quickly. I would also recommend buying extra Medela bottles to pump into. Even though I was using the Playtex system, I found it easier at work to use the bottles and then dump them into my own freezer system when I got home. The Medela wipes were also a must for me...as it made it easier not to run back and forth to the sink with all the parts (for work) while the steam bags were great for home. Highly recommend March 26, 2012 Rated 5 out of 5 by CoolMom A must! This pump will be your best friend. This is the pump to get. Don't question it. Just get it. Don't think about the price. Just do it. You will need this powerhorse! March 26, 2012 Rated 5 out of 5 by Chellins Great for the working mom This is great and made it possible to breast feed past the one year mark. Excellent pump, I will be using it again when my next baby arrives in a couple months. March 21, 2012 Rated 5 out of 5 by Rehanna My Medela saved me ! Out of everything we bought for the birth of our little baby I consider the breast pump the best thing we ever purchased. My baby had a very hard time latching on (in fact she never latched on!) that our lactation consultant suggested this breast pump and OMG it was such a life saver! I pumped at least 3~5 times a day for 3 months and my baby got her breast milk! I HIGHLY recommend this pump for new mother. Please it will save your life ! March 21, 2012 Rated 5 out of 5 by moonrose2715 Love this pump Although I have the backpack version (not the tote version) I love this pump. It was relatively quiet and super easy to use. I definitely recommend getting a hands-free bra to use with it, since I typically needed to do a little massage to get my best production, or needed to entertain my baby. I had severe supply issues and ended up pumping a great deal more than planned or expected. I also had a hospital grade pump for a couple of months. I found that the Pump-In-Style worked just as well as the hospital grade pump did. Also, it is very easy to take on the go. I could easily load up everything I needed in my bag, including pesonal items, and carry it as my "purse". It is worth every penny to invest in a good pump. March 20, 2012 Rated 5 out of 5 by Artmom Working Mom Must Have I am gone from the house 12 hours a day. This pump has allowed me to continue breast feeding for my son. I am so greateful for it's easy use. Gentle suction that works and it's so portable and easy to pack up. Great product March 19, 2012 (1 Question : 1 Answer) See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own. 1 answer Battery life Q:I noticed that the Medela Pump in Style requires 8 AA batteries. Generally, how long can you pump for before needing to replace them? 1 year, 9 months ago Posted by (San Francisco, CA) Answers A:Medela's Pump in Style Advanced On-the-Go pump may be operated with a battery pack that uses 8 AA alkaline batteries, or, for more consistent pump performance, use rechargeable batteries. Each set of batteries will provide approximately 2 hours of pumping time. It is recommended that batteries be replaced or recharged between the 10th and 12th pumping session. 1 year, 9 months ago Posted by 1 of 1 Product Q&A: 1 of 1

Original Penguin The amusing story behind Original Penguin begins in 1955 with Munsingwear salesman Abbot Pederson, who, during a sales trip to New York City, bought a stuffed penguin from a Manhattan taxidermist and sat with the specimen on his flight home to Minneapolis. During the trip, the penguin ended up wearing Pederson’s tie — prompting a flight attendant to remark that such a fancy penguin deserved to be embroidered on a shirt. Pederson shared the idea with his colleagues, and soon thereafter Munsingwear debuted the Original Penguin golf shirt — creating an icon of suburban leisure and a favorite among athletes. Half a century later, young urbanites began trolling thrift stores for clothing marked with Pete the Penguin.

So you’re mashing potatoes and have a mound of skins. And maybe T.G.I. Franchise has made you think that those skins are only for being covered in 2500 calories-worth of neon cheese. But—surprise!—potato peels are nutritious, tasty and useful even without bacon bits. Turn them into crusts for savory pies, crunchy snacks, and even use them in place of breadcrumbs; their sturdy, earthy flavor and ability to crisp are so intriguing when they’re unexpected. But first, we’re talking uncooked peels that look good enough to eat, so skip peels from potatoes that are shriveled, green from sunburn, or tentacled with sprouts. The best peel comes from large, starchy potatoes with thick skins, like russets, although really huge baking potatoes can be too leathery. Small, waxy, so-called new potatoes yield only flimsy tatters that cling to your fingers like damp tissue, so skip them. (Just leave their skins on whenever you’re cooking them for extra flavor and fiber.) Potato peel should taste earthy, not earthen, so start with well-scrubbed potatoes. A sharp Y-shaped peeler removes wide, even strips of peel that are easy to handle. To store the peels for up to three days, submerge them in cool water, cover, and refrigerate. A pound of potatoes yields about 1¼ cups of packed peels, and here are four commendable ways to make the most of the lowliest part of a potato. Crumbs: Bits of peel can replace the fresh bread crumbs used to bind meatballs, meatloaf, or croquettes. Chop or pulse the peels in a food processor, into pieces just small enough to look like rolled oats (excess processing will spin them into a gluey mess) and substitute them one-to-one. Crackers: Remove the peel in pieces as long and wide as possible. If they curl, snip the edges to help them lie flat on the baking sheet. Brush with oil and sprinkle with one or more of the following: coarse salt, ground pepper, finely grated Parmesan or other hard cheese, a pinch of dried herbs, and/or garlic or onion powder. Bake at 450°F until crisp and lightly puffed, about 6 minutes. Serve hot or let cool, uncovered. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Crisps: Remove the peel in long, wide strips and pat them very dry. Leave the strips whole or thinly slice them to make frizzled straws. Fill a deep, heavy skillet or pot to a depth of 1 inch with oil and heat it to 350°F. (If you don’t have a deep-fat thermometer, test the temperature by sprinkling a pinch of flour into the oil; it should immediately sizzle and begin to brown without hissing or spitting.) Adding no more pieces than can float freely, fry them until they are lightly blistered and the flesh sides are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain well and season while hot with salt, Old Bay, BBQ rub, or anything else you like. Crusts: Potato peel crust is softer and darker than pastry crust, but it delivers the hearty, satisfying flavor that one expects from well-seasoned potatoes. This versatile mixture can be formed into a pie shell or baked flat for a kind of flatbread. (When cool, it even folds like a slice of pizza.) Chop 2 cups of firmly packed peel (from about 1½ pounds of potatoes) until the pieces resemble coarse sawdust. Toss with 1 heaping teaspoon kosher salt and drain in a sieve for 15 minutes. Squeeze out every drop of moisture. Transfer to a bowl and stir in ¾ cup very finely chopped onion, 2 large beaten eggs, and ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or rice flour for a gluten-free version). If you like, add up to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano, or parsley. Press the mixture into one of the baking pans described below. Bake at 425°F until set, about 15 minutes. Brush lightly with olive oil and continue baking until the crust is very firm and lightly crisped along the edge, 6 to 8 minutes more. If the crust still isn’t as crisp as you like, stick it under a preheated broiler, but watch it carefully. - For a pie shell, press the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie tin. For mini shells, press the mixture into 12 standard or 6 jumbo muffin cups (but the baking time will be shorter). This crust is great with savory egg custard fillings, such as quiche. - For “pizza” crust, press the mixture onto an oiled 12-inch pizza pan. - For flatbread, press the mixture to a ¼-inch thickness on an oiled baking sheet. While warm, cut it into serving pieces and serve warm or at room temperature, either unadorned or topped. When cool, the pieces can be filled and then rolled or folded, like soft lavash or a tortilla. MORE EAT SHOOTS & LEAVES Orange you glad you saved the peels? Have a (celery) heart. And some leaves, too. Ginger peels the Japanese way Fennel stalks can transform your drinks and dinner

I am really nervous about going to school next fall. I mean, I went to a community college its not like I havent been in a college atmosphere, but this is a HUGE university! I know people who are going there but I dont know a single person who is in my area of intrest or in any classes with me. My best friend who is going there is no longer my friend so that kind of rules out having a good friend there. I dont know where my classes are, and I am worried that I will have one class on the west bank and 15 minutes later have another one over on the east bank or something!!! And I am worried about my classes what if they are too hard?? I am just freaking out here... What I always did was as soon as I had my schedule, I walked around and found where all my classes were located. If there are back to back classes on opposite sides of campus, you might want to switch to a different section (class time/location). If it's a big univesity, then there should be several sections of the same class to choose from. As far as not knowing anyone, the first university that I went to was 8 hours from where I grew up and I knew no one going there. I ended up making friends with my roommate and a couple of people from my classes. Study groups are also a good way to meet people. Good luck! Lisa don't freak out. go to campus a day or two early and look around and find your buildings. it makes life easier. i can help you if you want. you'll be fine! Erika, if you have the time that would be awesome! I was thinking of going a few days before school starts and finding all my classes... it would be cool if you want to come with me. i know that your school is a hundred time bigger than ours... erika can atest to my awe when i saw it... but really it was nt that huge of a transition for me going from communtiy college to university. i knew no one when i started, and it has gotten btter.. especially my second semester i started recognizing people that were in my same field and i had taken classes with. i always have nightmares that my classes with be soooo far apart. let erika help you, she is a pro at that campus!! and congrats, and good luck!!! also the student parent help center is a HUGE resource!! where is that? in johnson hall, basement i think. its got a lot of community resources. runs a parenting group. lots of neat mamas. good staff. scholarships for childcare. toys. coloring books. cool! i think i know where that is... its the place where they have the advisors and stuff right? i will have to check that out, thanks It's in Appleby Hall, actually. And Skylar, you should give me a call and we can find your classes. I have free time on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays right now.

And i'm a swimmer too! ^^ ToasterKisshuFanGirl97 on 12/30/2009 3:08:53 PM lol thnx for the laugh. ya know, ya gotta wonder y half of those things were made in the first place. Somebody must of tried doing one of those things and thats y they had to put the warning on there. I have a ton of other warnings for u if u want them! lol Hershey on 12/30/2009 2:59:06 PM ... i totally didn't fall for that one...hi!???! xoxo -C fashionista10 on 12/30/2009 1:55:54 PM Thank you. xxscarygirlxx on 12/30/2009 12:19:44 PM Oh my gosh your poems are awesome!!! I really like the first one. For, like, a chapter in my story I'm gonna focus on death. xxscarygirlxx on 12/30/2009 12:16:14 PM Yeah me too. I wanted a Reptar shirt from Hot Topic for Christmas. Maybe my birthday. What song??? xxscarygirlxx on 12/30/2009 12:10:36 PM Thanks for the comment/advice you left on my profile!(: Hey_hayy on 12/30/2009 4:35:14 AM Uh yeah! But it's been getting too Twilight-y for my taste. xxscarygirlxx on 12/29/2009 10:47:19 PM eriously?! You do not mix football and poetry. Fine I wrote this for extra credit and got 20 points... Lost at War I walk on these barren lands Watch the blood flow from my hands. The gut-retching terror in my soul I feel like I’m spiraling out of control. I watched the people I trusted die Barely having time to say good-bye. I feel the mental and physical pain This whole idea is purely insane. The bloodshed, the hatred, the ultimate fear Watching all life suddenly disappear. Why do these warriors slowly fall? Why do they take the risk of losing it all? And as I watch the horrors come to an end I realize that they may be trying to defend A country, full of lives and full of choice. A country of freedom and of every voice. Do I fight with the blood and the terror? For the country with hope that is even rarer? For the unnamed lives that will be lost I thank you, and will help you, at any cost. xxscarygirlxx on 12/29/2009 10:41:53 PM i luv haha!! PuppyLover290 on 12/29/2009 5:29:17 PM Thanks for your advice! I just fear for that to happen, but they worked things out considering they are not fighting anymore.

@izzyrose This can be very hard! But you gotta hang in there. I'm sure that everyone has told you "When one door closes, another one opens!" But it can be hard to find that door. Take a look at your new class. Be extra vigilant. Did you find someone that looks like potential friend? The shy girl in the corner? Well, don't keep quiet. Find your new acquaintance! Start out small. Offer her a piece of your dessert. Then the next day, do the same. Until you feel your strong enough, ask her if you can sit with her at lunch. She should say yes. Build on your relationship from there! hope this helps! (And if it doesn't, don't sweat! Try finding clubs or activities outside of school you'll like. You'll most likely find a friend with the same interest!) by indibrown10 on 1/14/2012 10:35:47 AM Okay so ive moved to a new school this yr and I feel like nobody want me there. Ill have to stay at this school for the rest of my elementary hood so that makes it even worse. Im depressed sometimes and sometimes cry because of it and I dont like it at home either. I feel like I belong at my other school because of like a million things. What should I do? by izzyrose on 11/9/2011 5:41:26 PM I am kind of going through the same thing when I think about it, except to not that extreme where I have no real friends and don't talk at all. But I'm trying to get over it, too by marshmelo on 11/8/2011 6:12:17 PM I think it's so amazing that you sort of healed yourself. I know that some people can't do that and I think it shows just how strong you are as a person to be able to do that. I'm so so sorry that you had to go through that though. Now that you know how it feels, help other people too! Good job getting the word out! You're very inspirational to me by reesesgal16 on 11/2/2011 10:44:49 PM Wow. That is so sad.

Former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed FC Copenhagen's Andreas Cornelius to earn a move to Old Trafford. The 19-year-old was promoted to the Copenhagen first-team squad in May and has enjoyed quite a rise since being given his senior chance, scoring ten goals in his first 11 appearances. Cornelius has already been awarded a first cap for Denmark, while he scored in first goal in European competition last week against Solskjaer's Norwegian champions Molde. Solskjaer, who scored for Manchester United in their dramatic 1999 Champions League final win, now believes the young forward can continue his rapid rise and believes his is good enough to play under Sir Alex Ferguson. “Yes, he’s definitely an option [for United],” Solskjaer said, according to Sport360. “He has the qualities to play at the top level if he continues his development. “He has speed, he has art. And I think he is very good in the air. He can go as far as he possibly wants.” Ferguson has been active in the recruitment of young strikers in recent seasons, with the acquisition of Javier Hernandez followed by the signing of Angelo Henriquez during the summer, and Cornelius could be next.

Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse is a reported target for Liverpool and Tottenham with suggestions the Senegal international is becoming frustrated with life at St James' Park. The pursuit of goalscoring reinforcements would appear to be a January transfer window priority for Liverpool, while Spurs are also light up front, and Cisse is reported to be considering his future with Newcastle. According to The Mirror, Liverpool and Spurs are both monitoring Cisse with the Newcastle star struggling to replicate his stunning form from last season. Cisse scored 13 goals in 14 games after joining Newcastle from Freiburg in January, with the 27-year-old netting the goal of the season against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in May. He has, however, scored only just once for Newcastle in the Premier League this season and his current predicament has seemingly caught the attention of both Liverpool and Spurs. Luis Suarez is the only senior striker available to Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers and bringing at least one more forward to Anfield in January is surely a must for the Reds. Tottenham, meanwhile, are slightly better stocked up front with Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor among their number, but Andre Villas-Boas is likely to further bolster his forward department, should the opportunity arise.

Glasslamʼs first new silicone spacer module arrives April 6, 2011 COMMERCIAL, RETAIL, FABRICATION Glasslam has its first fully inline silicone spacer module at its Pompano Beach, Fla., headquarters, according to an April 5 release. “We're very excited to show off this new manufacturing system to any company interested in making their own silicone spacer at a fraction of their current costs," said Steve Howes, CEO, in the release. "The payback is unbelievably quick, and the system is a game-changer in warm edge spacer.” Feedback has been amazing from many of the largest users of flexible spacer in the world, he said. Matt Hale, Air-Tight products sales manager for Glasslam, compares the impact of the new system to that of the regionalization of custom tempering over the last 20 years. “There was a time when large regional glass tempering companies shipped their products hundreds and thousands of miles," he said in the release. "Now there are state-of-the-art tempering facilities in most every metropolitan area. That's what this Glasslam invention means for the warm edge spacer business.” The new system will operate using less than 10 percent of the energy costs of current flexible spacer manufacturing processes, making it the most environmentally friendly and technologically advanced way to make warm edge spacer products, Howes said in the release.

Glass Mall > Glass News Holmegaard glassworks declared bankrupt (1/3) > >> a40ty: On Friday Holmegaard glassworks was declared bankrupt; 150 employees have lost their jobs and 60 have been suspended. It seems that the glassworks and the activity centre have been kept separate and that the latter will continue. Pinkspoons: It's a shame, but not exactly a surprise. They've been in financial difficulty on and off since the 1970s, and haven't released any interesting new designs for about 15 years. I daresay, though, that someone will buy up the brandname and continue the outsourced production in Poland that Holmegaard have been running since the '70s. R.I.P. real Holmegaard. Pinkspoons: I think the problem with a lot of these glassworks (and most businesses in general) is that as soon as they hit trouble they streamline their output to just the very safe and very neutral designs - as well as the very cheap designs - then try to trade solely on their brandname and charge something not dissimilar to studio glass prices for bland and tired mass-production items. a40ty: Hear hear! The innovative designers have already got the boot and have left for pastures new. Pinkspoons: Just flicking through the pages of Holmegaard's 1999 catalogue and nearly all of it is identical to their current one. Very few changes indeed.

25 Years of Global Exchange In 1988, four friends co-founded Global Exchange to fight a worldview based on greed, domination, and unvarnished worship of power. Global Exchange was founded to change the hearts and minds of those lured to believe that corporate profit would trickle down to create wealth for all. We aimed to speak truth to power. We sought to create awareness of what was being called, “global warming.” We chose to stand in solidarity with South Africans seeking democracy and with peasant farmers seeking a fair economy.

The US Anti-Doping Agency has brought formal charges against Lance Armstrong, which may cause the former cyclist to lose his seven Tour de France victories, the Washington Post reported. Armstrong, who began competing in triathlons after his retirement from cycling, has been banned from the sport because of the charges. His former teammates, Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton cooperated with federal agents and accused Armstrong of doping. According to USA Today, Armstrong has strongly denied doping accusations throughout his career. He has never tested positive, Sports Illustrated reported. "I have never doped, and, unlike many of my accusers, I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one," Amstrong said in a statement he released via Twitter. He further elaborated on his website, according to the BBC: ." More on GlobalPost: LA Kings, Dustin Brown score with video hat trick (VIDEO) Earlier this year the US Attorney's office ended their investigation in Armstrong, after a two year probe into doping allegations. Armstrong said in his statement of the latest charges: "These are the very same charges and the same witnesses that the Justice Department chose not to pursue after a two-year investigation." USADA is the quasi-government agency that oversees anti-doping in Olympic sports in the United States. It does not have authority to bring criminal charges. The USADA said, "USADA only initiates matters supported by the evidence. We do not choose whether or not we do our job based on outside pressures, intimidation or for any reason other than the evidence," according to the BBC.

Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a possible mechanism to control chirality in biological molecules. Chirality, or 'handedness,' is a trait existing in the basic molecules of all living things, and controlling it has long been a goal of researchers. By changing the magnetization direction of some chiral molecules in relation to a high-intensity X-ray beam, an excess of one form of chirality was created over another. Understanding such basic occurrences in the building blocks of matter could be an important step to understanding the origin of life....") A headline with up to 8 words of text, mix upper- and lower-case type (no all caps), no company name or em-dashes 50-75 words of text, no bullets, up to 2 paragraph breaks, no bold or italicized text unless a proper name or hyperlink Researchers are looking to put micro-robots to work as internal surgeons. The hope is that some of these tablet-shaped robots could perform certain gastrointestinal operations without injuring the patient's body. The process would begin with the swallowing of individual parts of the robot, which would then self-assemble into a more powerful system to perform the task. The feasibility of such an operation is currently being tested in artificial stomachs. The design of surgical implants will soon be undergoing a revolutionary change. So says a team of researchers at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and their supportive peers. The team has succeeded in coating surgical implants with "intelligent" fibers that will facilitate bonding action to the living bone. This bonding technique, said to be the first of its kind, will last throughout the patient's lifetime, and will improve the reliability and durability of the implant. Perpetually powered data acquisition? You heard right. GE Energy has recently developed wireless sensors with an endless power supply. The sensors harvest and use vibration energy from the very machines they monitor. How? The system uses a micro-generator to transform vibrational energy into serviceable electrical energy. It also stores that energy in a super-capacitor; during peak operational phases, there will still be enough power for data measurement and transfer. How does one acquire data in temperatures that sometimes drop to -80° C? Embedded technologies are the answer, allowing researchers to gather data in extreme situations such as at the South Pole. Find out how an IceCube experiment is being developed to detect neutrinos by recording flashes of light through a telescope, or by measuring the acoustics involved in a neutrino collision. These data acquisition systems have all been designed to be rugged, stable, and cold-rated. Terra manufactures plastic and stainless steel glove boxes to isolate contamination-sensitive materials in a controlled environment or to contain biohazards. Terra's line of BioSafe™ glove boxes provide all-welded seams with coved corners to produce a completely smooth interior that's easy to sterilize. Log on at Terra Universal for more information. Measuring the presence of dark matter is a task that's, well, out of this world. A newly developed detector out of MIT can help aid in this pursuit. Existing detectors are flawed in that they continue to pick up the presence of ordinary matter. However, these detectors, when run simultaneously with the new device, can identify the presence of all ordinary neutrons, leaving the dark matter detector to locate any other signals as a strong candidate for identification as dark matter Respiratory measurement technology is being fine-tuned at a new research facility, and the hope is that researchers can use their discoveries for several applications. One such example is in the realm of breath monitoring. Breath monitoring can be a crucial tool in the diagnosis of respiratory conditions. One problem that researchers have overcome is how to collect data from a normal breath, as opposed to making the patient exhale forcefully — a task that can be impossible for seriously ill patients. (Scroll to page four) The current state of nanotechnology safety in the U.S. is woefully inadequate says a new report. The main issue appears to be a lack of research to provide the public with information that can improve acceptance and understanding of the benefits of nanotechnology. The report also calls on the Obama administration to consider a new strategy for identifying and managing potential risks. Latest word out of the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is that nanotechnology could play a big role in food safety. Specifically, ARS has developed a microscopic biological sensor that can detect the presence of salmonella bacteria. Researchers used nanotechnology principles to help develop the sensor, and include fluorescent organic dye particles that attach to the bacteria, making it easier to spot.

If you’re vertically integrated, everything is under your own control The Singapore telecoms regulator is commissioning the development of a set-top box that will allow customers to take services from different telecoms operators at the same time via the country’s next-generation national broadband network. The box — which will bring the market in telecoms right to consumers’ homes — will be connected to the national carrier-neutral fibre-to-the-home network, which is operated by a local company, Nucleus Connect. “The project is being managed by the government and the plan is to have the specification by the end of this year,” says Nucleus Connect’s CEO, David Storrie. Following that, the box.

Indexes: About this entry: At the end of the second millennium of the Third Age, the realm of Gondor came close to its destruction.. Unknown to the victorious Wainriders, their allies in the south had met with much less success. Beyond hope, the Gondorian Captain Eärnil had led Gondor's Southern Army to victory over the Haradrim, destroying their army in South Ithilien, to the north of the Poros. Then challenged her again, and the battle where Eärnil won his success was named after the Wainrider camp where it had taken place: the Battle of the Camp.

Indexes: About this entry: The third of the great battles of the Wars of Beleriand, and the most decisive victory for the Elves. Some sixty years after the Return of the Noldor to Middle-earth, Morgoth sent out armies of Orcs to test the northern defences of Beleriand. The Orcs attacked in the west through the Pass of Sirion, and in the east through Maglor's Gap. Both of these assaults were repulsed by the Noldor, and the armies of Morgoth were destroyed completely: it was said that not a single one of the thousands of Orcs ever returned to Angband. To commemorate this great victory, the Elves gave it the name Dagor Aglareb, which translates as the 'Glorious Battle'. With the Orcs defeated, the Noldor set a siege around the Dark Lord's domain - the Siege of Angband - that kept Beleriand safe from any similar invasion for nearly four hundred years.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter 'Deeply Moved' After Togo Attacks FIFA concerned by shocking events... FIFA has expressed concerns after the Togo national team bus was attacked by rebels in Cabinda en-route to the Africa Cup of Nations on Friday. Emmanuel Adebayor, the team captain, revealed that the Togo players will meet on Saturday to decide if they will still take part in the tournament after a machine gun attack on their bus - lasting 30 minutes - killed their driver and left six others injured. FIFA spokesman Nicolas Maingot told Goal.com UK: ''FIFA and its president, Joseph S. Blatter, are deeply moved by today's incidents which affected Togo's national team, to whom they express their utmost sympathy. "FIFA is in touch with the African confederation and its president, Issa Hayatou, from which it expects a full report on the situation.''

Jason O. Watson-US PRESSWIRE, US PRESSWIRE Being an avid New York Mets fan (yes, it is as painful as it sounds and some), I've run across many an interesting post from Mets beat writers, bloggers (including the guys over at Amazin' Avenue, which by the way, if you're not familiar with, is one of THE VERY BEST blogs out there in the SB Nation network, and if you're a baseball fan of any team I'd recommend it) and fans. But one of the most captivating ideas I've seen in any setting is the yearly "Take 'Em Or Trash 'Em" segment done by Adam Rubin, who covers the Mets for ESPN.com. In what has become a yearly exercise, Rubin will ask fans to vote on members of the Mets roster, giving them option of either taking them (or keeping) or trashing them (basically what it sounds like). And while he has included Manager Terry Collins, General Manager Sandy Alderson and the Wilpon Family (Majority Owners of the Mets) this year (couldn't tell/remember if he did a year ago, as the posts glitched and somehow merged), he didn't offer his opinion like he did for the players. So as this is a site for all things Virginia Tech, and colleges can't really trash players (well actually they can, and when they do it's even more disgusting, but let's just say it happens less often at Tech) and they don't actually tender the players contracts and pay them to play (yet), I thought it would be fun to do a Keep 'Em or Trash 'Em (I changed Take to Keep because I think it just makes more sense) for the entire Virginia Tech football coaching staff and similarly, let the fans decide the fate of the Hokies' coaches (well...at least on here). But before you fire from the hip and cast your vote, make sure you read the pros and cons below to see if there's anything that would change your mind or alter your opinion. If not, happy voting and have fun. So after reading the title for this article, you might be thinking, "If you're going to do a series of posts on which Virginia Tech coaches should be fired and which should keep their jobs, why in the world are you starting with Shane Beamer?" To which I would answer, I understand what a peculiar choice it seems like, but I will be doing these posts chronologically relative to when the coaches were hired. So, by virtue of being the newest hire on the staff (two days senior of Cornell Brown), Shane is up first. So let's dive right in. Reasons For Keeping Him I think this is going to be one of the quickest posts in this series, if not THE quickest. Let's start with his best asset. The younger Beamer is somewhat of a master recruiter, having made a name for himself on the recruiting trail both at Virginia Tech and his previous stops. According to Rivals.com, since 2009, (only the second year he was given a full recruiting load), Beamer has individually landed an astounding EIGHT four-star recruits, including guys like Alshon Jeffery, Connor Shaw, and for the Hokies, Joel Caleb, Holland Fisher, Drew Harris and Deon Clarke. He was also assigned as the personal recruiter for names like A.J. Green, Robert Quinn, and Trent Richardson at South Carolina, so it shows the kind of faith Steve Spurrier and his staff put in Beamer. For the Hokies, he has also been assigned as the personal recruiter for guys like Derrick Green (the nation's top running back prospect), Jarron Jones (a huge Notre Dame commit from a year ago), Tim Harris (now a UVA decommit) and Dorian Johnson (a Pitt commitment that the Hokies desperately wanted), all of whom were ranked four stars or higher by Rivals and two of whom may not have even considered Tech without Shane Beamer being their personal recruiter. It is also worth noting that for whatever reason, Rivals shows that Beamer did not have a full load in 2011 as well, so if you were to take an average of how many four star recruits Beamer raked in between the recruiting classes of 2009-13 (seasons in which he had a full recruiting load), you would come up with two per year. That's pretty terrific for an individual recruiter. Over that time period, the coach who was previously considered as Virginia Tech's best recruiter, Bryan Stinespring, has nabbed exactly five four-stars. In fact, going back all the way to 2006 to include Virginia Tech coaches' recruiting efforts (the first year Rivals began tracking recruits landed by an individual recruiter), no Hokie coach landed as many four-star or higher recruits individually in those eight classes as Beamer did in the five classes since 2009. Just in case you were interested, Coach Cavanaugh pulled in six and a half, Gray and Stinespring landed six apiece and Newsome added five and a half (the halves represent a player in which the two coaches shared the lead as a primary recruiter for Tyrod Taylor). So it's fair to say that Shane has galvanized the recruiting efforts, as in his two years at Tech, the football program has seen probably its best two recruiting years in school history (as long as the 2013 class remains intact). To that end, he is personable, relatable, charismatic, courteous and young, character traits that players and their families take note of. That's why Virginia Tech players (particularly running backs like David Wilson) have oozed about how much they've enjoyed playing for him and how much he fires them up. It's always great to have guys like that on the sideline (ahem, Stinespring, you too buddy) as a lot of the Virginia Tech coaches seem fairly vanilla in their interactions with players on the sideline. Reasons For Trashing Him So here are the knocks on Shane Beamer. He is a positional coach who has coached at least three different positions in his assistant coaching stints. There is nothing wrong with being a positional coach, but often it's hard to judge a positional coach because you don't get to see the X's and O's, and unless you know what you're looking for or the commentators point it out, a lot of what a positional coach teaches is technique. And let's be honest, if you're watching a game and the running back goes 80 yards, are you paying attention to his technique, or are you saying "Holy hell look how fast that kid is," or "Man what a great call that was" (I am aware you're not saying that for Hokie games, just giving a hypothetical). In fact, David Wilson fits the first part of that scenario to a T, and given that Beamer inherited that supernatural freak athlete at his position, coupled with the struggles of the group this year (even thought the offensive line often played horribly), it is fair to ask how much of the success Tech has had with their running backs in the last two years was David Wilson/J.C. Coleman, and how much of it was Beamer? TBD. The point is, while positional coaches are rarely the goat, you often don't know what you have in them until they take a position as a coordinator or a head coach, something Shane might be poised to do in the near future. Speaking of which, Shane's name came up as a a person of interest several times during coaching searches after the season, including reported interest by Georgia State, who ended up replacing the retiring Bill Curry with Trent Miles. To several people I have spoken with, taking a job as the head coach of another team for a few years to develop some head coaching experience wouldn't be a bad thing. I understand that logic, but what I don't understand is why he would leave a job working for his father in which he is essentially being groomed as the coach-in-waiting. As far as head coaching experience goes, I think having been around the elder Beamer in his coaching career can only help to prepare him. I know that Shane taking another job isn't necessarily trashing him, but the end result would essentially be the samd: Shane would not be at Virginia Tech under either scenario. The very last thing I think you could fault Beamer for is the sporadic and often questionable running back rotations used this season. I don't know if Shane really has full control over personnel decisions, but at any rate, some of the substitutions for certain plays/packages were so boneheaded (for instance using J.C. Coleman as a lead blocker and Martin Scales on outside runs) that even being a part of the decision-making and not objecting signals a pretty significant problem. Also, contrary to what the staff said about the running back-by-committee in the off-season, they often went away from the hot hand instead of sticking with it. So the rotations and substitutions based on play-calling/packages has to get better, no matter who's responsible for it. Final Argument Again, as I said in the beginning, this one is pretty easy. I don't see any reason to want to fire the team's youngest coach, most successful recruiter and potential head coach-in-waiting. Shane has a promising future (most likely at Virginia Tech), and despite some unknowns to this point, he has brought a lot to the program with his influence both in recruiting and on the sideline. I think he is and will continue to be a stabilizing force on the staff for years to come. Verdict: Keep 'Em Poll So what should be Shane Beamer's fate?

She is a two-time Big South Defensive Player of the Week and leads the Big South in blocks, averaging 1.28 blocks per set, having been ranked as high as second in the NCAA in blocks per set. Nyhof also earns her third All-Big South Academic Team honor. Livesay has played in 28 matches and started 27 for the Chanticleers this season. She ranks second on the team in kills, averaging 2.44 kills per set, and ranks third in digs at 2.18 digs per set. She had a career-high 18 kills against Gardner-Webb Oct. 16 and is a two-time Big South Freshman of the Week honoree. Kimes remains a lethal threat for the Chanticleers in the Big South, averaging 3.70 kills per set, leading the Chants and ranking fourth in the league. She enters the tournament sixth in the Coastal Carolina record book with 1,264 career kills and has had 25 double-digit kill matches, including 14 double-digit kill performances in a row this season. She also has had 15 double-doubles and the Chants are 11-4 when Kimes records a double-double. Kimes earns her second straight First Team All-Big South honor and was a Big South All-Freshman Team selection in 2007. Bickford has been a consistent contributor all season for the Chanticleers, starting in every match this season. She has had the top hitting percentage on the team for the past three years, and ranks fifth in the Big South in the category this year with a .322 hitting percentage. She also ranks third on the team in kills per set at 2.30 and earned Big South Player of the Week honors Oct. 19.

Updated: March 6, 2013 11:45 PM EST Mark your calendars and start planning: Spring's almost here Complaining about winter and all the hassles it brings is part of an Erieite's DNA. It's also a waste of time: The snow is bound to fall and keep falling, sometimes into April, along with the mercury every year. As of Wednesday, Erie was the second-snowiest city in the Golden Snow Globe contest for cities larger than 100,000 people. The 82.1 inches that have fallen at Erie International Airport this season put us behind only Syracuse, N.Y., with 85.6 inches. It's enough to make you want to hibernate. But rejoice! Spring arrives March 20, or at least that's what the calendar promises. Here's what I'm looking forward to: - No more shoveling. Or snowblowing. Or scraping ice off the car. Is there a worse way to start the day? - Eating ice cream at Sara's. - Birds chirping. - Packing away the sweaters, gloves, scarves and hats that threaten to bury me in a winter avalanche every time I open the living room closet. I'm ready for short sleeves and baseball games. - Turning down the heat, throwing open the windows and airing out the house. I won't cry about the cheaper gas and electric bills, either. - Walking Presque Isle without the parka. - Gardening. I don't have a green thumb, but I'm going to try to make a few well-intentioned trips to local greenhouses anyway. Nothing says spring like flowers in the window boxes. - Hitting the playground with the kiddo. We both have serious cases of cabin fever. I'm ready for the swings to reappear at Frontier Park. She's ready to run through sprinklers. - Hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. The smell of charcoal. - No more mopping puddles left by snow boots on my kitchen floor. What are you most looking forward to? ERICA ERWIN can be reached at 870-1846. Send e-mail to [email protected].

Who can I call about doing a mineral rights search? This is for LA. Views: 1006 <![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply to This There are about 5 properties that my grandmother, mineral rights rather.. The family found this out by accident. Going through her paperwork one day, we discovered that a company tried to buy her mineral rights to 5 sections of land. We figured we would do our own research. We also figured this company would not have offered her money to buy mineral rights if she didn't have them. So this is why we are trying to find this info out. <![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply As an aside... While Ken Boone's grandmother may have known what she owned, she didn't convey that info to her heirs. I have created, for my family, a "land book" that has a section devoted to every piece of land I own, no matter how tiny. In that book I note what I own (and include maps), names and contact information for any other joint owners, what (if anything) is under lease (oil, gas, lignite, pipeline ROWs), how I came to own it (purchase, inheritance), and anything that might occur in the future (prescription, expiration of leases, timber cuttings) that my heirs would need to know about. I also included copies of all past deeds, leases, contracts, division orders, etc. If everyone would create such a book and keep it up to date, it would make life easier for one's heirs. JMHO. <![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply Great post, Henry! I suggest that you make it the topic of a Main Page discussion. Everyone who owns mineral interests beyond the size of a residential lot should have a book. Agreed. <![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply I went to the Panola County deed records and researched my ownership from 1911 to current date. It took about six hours so take a snack and drink for a break. But I can tell you I found the land men and researchers there very helpful. The room was a beehive of activity. It was also very interesting looking thru the old conveyances. I would have gone to the wills but found it was not necessary. Found what I needed. I had/have an O&G attorney but by researching it myself saved hundreds of dollars. It just happened that the landman walked in as I was leaving and I told him what I had found, he called his office and within minutes the "problem" of my interests was solved. The oil companies do make mistakes. <![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply And public records are not always correct or complete. Better to discover omissions or mistakes with a chain of title and fix it before it potentially becomes a problem. In the land business they call it title curative. One common problem is that a succession or judgement of possession is recorded in the county/parish where the owner died but not in the county/parish where the mineral estate is located. Heirs should get a certified copy of that instrument and have it recorded in the additional jurisdiction. <![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply advertisements

History suggests U.S. Open is Tiger's to lose - By Doug Ferguson - Jun 16, 2012 3:53 PM ET SAN FRANCISCO – The expectations came back before Tiger Woods did. For the longest time, there was a sense of inevitability about Woods when he was in front going into the weekend at a major championship. Eight times he had the outright lead after 36 holes, and eight times he went on to win, a streak that Y.E. Yang finally ended in 2009 at the PGA Championship. The circumstances were slightly different Saturday at the U.S. Open. This was the first time Woods has shared the lead at a major going into the third round, and the other leaders have some experience. Jim Furyk won the U.S. Open nine years ago at Olympia Fields, where he had a chance to set the 72-hole scoring record until meaningless bogeys on the last two holes. David Toms is 11 years removed from his lone major at the PGA Championship, though not quickly forgotten is the resolve he showed. With the gallery one-sided in its support of Phil Mickelson, Toms laid up on the 18th hole at Atlanta Athletic Club and made a 12-foot par to win. The other difference? This is 2012. Woods removed his cap on the putting green Thursday, revealing an increasingly receding hair line. That was always going to be a losing battle, though it was a subtle reminder that Woods is not the 24-year-old who completed the career Grand Slam at St. Andrews, nor was this the 30-year-old who won consecutive majors. He is 36. He has gone through four operations on his left knee. He has gone through public scrutiny of a very private life. In some respects, this week could be the start of a new era for Woods, who will always be compared against his old era. This business of the ''new Tiger'' looking like the ''old Tiger'' needs to stop, for no other reason than the new Tiger is older. For all this talk about whether Woods is really back, he has won two times this year on the PGA Tour, and that's as many as anyone else. Woods won five times in 2003 and it used to be called a slump because it didn't include a major championship. So now Woods is among the leaders going into the third round at The Olympic Club, and the expectations are that he will win the U.S. Open for a record-tying fourth time, and finally get to his 15th major in his delayed pursuit of Jack Nicklaus. Woods' mother is at Olympic this week, and she rarely goes anywhere but the Masters and Honda Classic, her new home. Maybe she's onto something. Then again, it's hard to imagine Woods not expecting the same thing. If a 70 in the U.S. Open at Olympic is equivalent to a 66 at a regular PGA Tour event, then this would be a stretch of golf that should get some attention. He closed with a 67 to win at Memorial, then joined Furyk and Toms as the only players who have not gone over par this week. ''It's one thing to have a game plan, but you also have to execute the game plan,'' Woods said. ''And I think that's one of the reasons why I was so excited about how I hit the ball at Memorial,.'' Perhaps it helps that he has two players whose game he admires joining him as the only golfers who remain under par. Woods thinks so much of the Furyk's toughness that he finally got his wish to have Furyk as a partner in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup. A few years ago, Woods was presented one of those age-old hypothetical questions: If his life depended on someone making a 15-foot putt, and he couldn't pick himself or Nicklaus, which player would he choose? Among the names he eventually mentioned was Toms. The lesser-known players have proved far more dangerous over the years. Bob May took him to a playoff at Valhalla in the 2000 PGA Championship. Woods had to hole one of the biggest putts of his life at Torrey Pines just to get into a U.S. Open playoff with Rocco Mediate in 2008, and he still had to go 19 holes to beat him. Rich Beem didn't blink when he beat Woods in the PGA Championship at Hazeltine. Yang remains the only player to win a major when Woods had the lead going into final round. His former caddie, Steve Williams, once said that what looked like the easiest of Sundays felt like one of the hardest. He was talking about the Buick Open in 2009. Woods went into the final round with a one-shot lead over a group of players that made it look like a Nationwide Tour leaderboard. Only two of the seven guys behind him had won on Tour, and none was ranked among the top 100. The tournament, in the eyes of everyone except the players, was over. Woods is not at that stage yet, though Saturday could go a long way toward raising the expectations even higher. Woods is known for closing on Sunday, but he traditionally has set himself up for the win on Saturday.

Which pro-am is better: Alfred Dunhill or Pebble Beach? - By Randall Mell - Oct 6, 2012 9:00 AM ET With plenty of celebrity and tradition on both sides of the pond, the GolfChannel.com team debates the better pro-am: AT&T Pebble Beach or the Alfred Dunhill Championship? By RANDALL MELL Even if you don’t like golf, walking along the fairways during the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am is anything but a good walk spoiled. Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods all played at Pebble Beach, but they never made contact more spectacularly than the way the surf hits the rocks in Stillwater Cove. The old Crosby Clambake will never lose its charm because of that, no matter which stars show up. There are few vistas in the game as stunning as the tee box at Pebble Beach’s seventh hole, the shortest tough hole in golf. The views on the eighth and 18th tee boxes are not bad either. The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship also offers some special settings with St. Andrews and Carnoustie among the courses the event is played upon. There is no more sacred ground in golf than the Old Course, but Pebble Beach feels as if it takes you to heaven's doorstep. Robert Louis Stevenson didn’t call it “The most felicitous meeting of land and sea in creation” for nothing. By JASON SOBEL Athletes want to be rock stars and rock stars want to be athletes. Blondes want to be brunettes and brunettes want to be blondes. (And yes, some of us just want hair.) The point is, as Mick Jagger has been screeching for decades, you can’t always get what you want. The grass is always greener on the other side. Unless, of course, the other side happens to include a three-course rotation of St. Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns, where faded fairways and brownish greens are not only the norm, but perfectly acceptable. It only makes sense that a British golfer would long for the lush shorefront real estate of the Monterey Peninsula, just as an American secretly craves the hallowed ground of Scotland’s yards. You won’t find me bellyaching about the majestic California courses, but given my choice of whether to compete in the grandest stateside pro-am or the coolest overseas edition, I’ll take the latter and run with it – for as far as my punched 2-iron will take me on those vaunted links. Kingsbarns is the most awe-inspiring “new” course I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting; Carnoustie is a dreaded beast best left untamed and St. Andrews is, well, it’s St. Andrews – and if that simple explanation isn’t enough to get you salivating, then you clearly haven’t been paying attention these last couple of centuries. So give me that 2-iron in a romp over a hybrid. Give me another pint at The Dunvegan in a 1-up victory over a cocktail in The Tap Room. Give me the Dunhill Links by the smallest of margins over the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Maybe someday it’ll happen. After all, you can’t always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need. By REX HOGGARD With a monsoon of respect to the home of golf and Auld Grey Toon, there is only one Clambake and only one pro-am that is a must-see, or must-play if one is lucky enough to merit a tee time. What the Old Course and St. Andrews enjoy in historical significance, Pebble Beach makes up for with postcard views, an “A” list of celebrities and a rejuvenated rotation of courses that is second to none. Iconic Pebble Beach has always been the centerpiece of the annual PGA Tour stop, but in 2010 Monterey Peninsula Country Club was added to the “Crosby” rotation and may be, according to many a Tour frat brother, a better golf course. By comparison Carnoustie and Kingsbarn, the other two courses in the Dunhill Links rota, are consolation prizes. While neither event enjoys a world-class field, other than Bill Murray – whose shtick seems lost on the U.K. galleries – the Dunhill lacks the star power that Pebble Beach enjoys. And if that wasn’t enough, consider the weather. For all the annual hand-wringing over “Crosby weather,” Pebble Beach has enjoyed Chamber of Commerce-like conditions in recent years. By comparison, on Saturday at St. Andrews the morning groups will tee off in breezy conditions with temperatures in the 40s. There is no place better than St. Andrews in July, at the Open Championship, but when it comes to a pro-am, Pebble Beach is the gold standard.

New Nightclub Laws Make Downtown Safer Saturday, July 23, 2011 When college students all over Providence return to campus next month, they will undoubtedly kick off their years with trips to the city’s many nightclubs and bars. But they could face stricter guidelines when it comes to places they’ll have access to and they will be following a different set of rules than they’ve become accustomed to. That’s because both the city and the General Assembly passed laws this summer in an attempt to control both underage drinking and the violence that occurs when the bars close early each weekend morning. Now, bars and nightclubs that fail to prevent underage patrons from consuming alcohol can be barred from having events that cater to young people under the age of 21. In addition, the city has decided to stagger closing times for clubs in a response to a series of melees that took place in part because of the overcrowded downtown area after 2:00am on the weekend. Underage Drinking Bill The underage drinking bill in the General Assembly was sponsored by Rep. Chris Blazejewski. His legislation, which was signed into law by Governor Chafee last week, is meant to encourage establishments to comply with laws concerning alcohol and to directly prevent minors from accessing alcohol by shutting off an easy source. “If nightclubs can’t control underage drinking, it doesn’t make sense to let them admit underage people,” said Blazejewski. “The licensing board needs these tools to respond to violations both as a means of enforcement and for the safety of patrons and the public, especially in light of recent violence at or near some Providence nightclubs.” Because of the high number of college students in the area, Providence has always been known as a place where the underage crowd could find a place to acquire alcohol. With many clubs promoting 18-and-up nights and some bars failing to ask for identification at the door, students have seen the city as an easy place to drink illegally. Places Have A Reputation For Serving Underage Crowd The result, often times, has been trouble for the city at closing time. Fights break out. Intoxicated people get behind the wheel. Downtown becomes a major traffic jam. Under the new law, the places known for allowing underage drinking will likely enforce stricter guidelines so they can continue to allow young people to at least enter their place of business. “Places that have a proven reputation for serving minors become magnets for those who are underage and want to drink,” said Providence Senator Harold Metts. “That reputation is actually a competitive advantage, bringing more people to that club to drink and spend money. Not only are they violating the law, but they’re making a profit as a direct result of that illegal activity.” State Rep. Joy Hearn echoed her colleague’s thoughts. She said establishments known for serving underage drinkers should be punished. “If we are serious about preventing underage drinking, we can’t let those who repeatedly serve minors continue to invite them into their clubs,” she said. “Those establishments have already shown they are either unable or unwilling to stop them from drinking, so they shouldn’t be allowed to let them though the door.” Staggered Closing Time The new underage drinking law comes shortly after Providence decided to stagger closing times for nightclubs throughout the downtown area. The decision came after rival gangs got into a shootout shortly after the bars closed one night last month. Shots rang out and sent hundreds of clubgoers into a panic. Now, almost a dozen downtown nightclubs are permitted to stay open until 3:00am on weekend nights, with drink service still ending at 2:00am. The city hopes the changes will alleviate some of the congestion that takes place downtown and possibly, some of the crime. But will it work? “I think it will make for less of a traffic jam downtown,” said Kevin Hoffman, a Providence student from the West End. “I’m not sure about the crime. As long as there is alcohol, there will probably be crime.” If you valued this article, please LIKE GoLocalProv.com on Facebook by clicking HERE.

I’ve been writing about the possibility of hyperinflation, if there is ever a run on Treasury bonds. My argument has been, Treasuries are the New & Improved Toxic Assets, a termite-riddled house waiting to collapse. If and when there is a run on them, money will flow to a safe haven, which I am predicting will be commodities. As a byproduct of this sell off in Treasuries and buy up of commodities, consumer prices will rise catastrophically in a hyperinflationary event—and the dollar will be left dead on the highway like roadkill. This scenario got me thinking about the last time there was a panicked run-up in commodities: The stagflation of the 1970’s in the United States, specifically the period 1979–1983. Oil nearly doubled in price, gold and silver went hyperbolic. Gas shortages were rampant—the situation almost got to the point where the government considered rationing gasoline. In fact, ration cards were printed—that’s how bad things got. Because of the Oil Shock, the inflation index rose to a peak of 15%—yet unemployment also exploded, reaching almost 11%. This combination of unemployment and inflation was what gave the period its name—stagflation: “Stagnant inflation”. Because of the Oil Shock, the inflation index rose to a peak of 15%—yet unemployment also exploded, reaching almost 11%. This combination of unemployment and inflation was what gave the period its name—stagflation: “Stagnant inflation”. Thinking about this period, I asked myself a simple question: Could the ‘79 Oil Shock, and subsequent bout of stagflation, be better understood as a period of incipient hyperinflation? And if so, what lessons could it teach us about today? First, a bit of history:. This event naturally led to oil prices ballooning, from a nominal average of $15 per barrel in 1978, to $25 per barrel in 1979 (data is here). This had a profound impact on inflation throughout the American and world economies. Up to the overthrow of the Shah, the U.S. inflation index had been at a moderate-to-high plateau. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) averaged 6.5% during all of 1977 and for the first third of 1978. But in the lead-up to the Revolution and the subsequent overthrow of the Shah, inflation got in high gear: For the rest of 1978, inflation averaged 8.13%, and by March of ‘79—two months after the Iranian oil supply was disrupted—inflation was tracking at over 10% annually. By the end of 1979, average inflation for the year was 11.22%, and by March of 1980, inflation was peaking just shy of 15% (data is here.) That was also the winter when gold and silver took off in parallel speculative jags that reached all-time highs—that winter was retrospectively the peak of inflation in the United States. Keep that date in mind: March of 1980. Annualized inflation: 15%. Though the inflation index was rising, unemployment hardly budged for a full year after the Oil Shock. Unemployment was at 5.9% when the Shah was overthrown in January of ‘79. And during the rest of ‘79—even though oil prices skyrocketed and the attendant inflation swept the economy—U.S. unemployment was more or less steady at or below 6%— —until 1980: Starting that winter, unemployment bumped up to 6.9%, and it didn't look back. Unemployment would eventually reach a plateau of 10%, and stay at that plateau for a whole year (July 1982 to June 1983), peaking at 10.8% in November of ‘82. Though unemployment would slowly fall, it wouldn’t be until September of 1987—almost nine years after the start of the crisis—before it reached its pre-Oil Shock level of 5.9% (unemployment data is here). But during those years—nearly a decade, really—of staggering unemployment, what happened to inflation? Well, in a word, it got a stake driven through its black heart—but like all scary movies, it was a close call. Inflation got killed as dead as Dillinger because of the measures taken by Paul Volcker, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. As can be seen by the chart, up until Volcker was named Fed Chairman in August of ‘79, Federal Reserve interest rate policy was playing a game of catch-up with inflation—and inflation was winning. But in October of ‘79, Volcker raised the Fed funds rate to 12% in the so-called “Saturday Night Special”—and then kept on raising them. Volcker kept the Fed funds rate up above 15% for most of 1980 and ‘81, peaking at 19.1%. That’s right: 19.1%. It shocks the senses to look at that number, and then compare it to the current Fed funds rate of 0.25%. From the graphic, it’s crystal clear that unemployment jumped up as a result of the first harsh taste of Volcker rates—in January, three months after the first interest rate hit, unemployment jumped to 6.3%, held steady there through the winter, then jumped to 6.9% in April and 7.5% in May. Then it just kept on climbing after that. Essentially, Volcker induced a severe recession, in order to beat back inflation. There’s really no other way to look at it. Like a doctor administering chemotherapy, Volcker hiked interest rates high enough to kill the cancerous inflation—but he also killed business investment as well, during his reign of double-digit interest rates. But all’s well that ends well—eventually, when inflation was safely taken care of, the Fed lowered its funds rate: Investment returned, the economy picked up, unemployment went down. And inflation? It went into remission, after Dr. Paul’s tough medicine. Since the stagflation period and its successful treatment, inflation as measured by the CPI numbers has been basically a non-issue. Now, let’s double-back to take a closer look at what happened back in 1979, and how it might compare to our situation today in 2010: (A quick note on terms—by the word “inflation”, I mean two distinct things: One is the macro-economic event whereby prices rise, due to the expansion of both the economy and the credit environment, which bids up the prices of consumables. This sense is used in opposition to the other three macro-economic events, deflation, disinflation, and hyperinflation. The other meaning of the word “inflation”—or what I sometimes call the inflation index or sometimes the CPI number—is simply the actual percentage rise in prices in an economy, regardless of whether the cause is inflationary or hyperinflationary.) The cause of the rampant inflation of ‘79–‘81 was an oil shock. It wasn’t that the economy was overheating, and consumables (labor and commodities) were being bid up in a growing economy coupled with an expansionary credit environment. Rather, commodities were rising against the dollar—the market was turning on the dollar, and determining that every day, it was worth less vis-à-vis commodities. What was happening was that, in a very real sense, the dollar was going into a death spiral, when Paul Volcker implemented his psychotically aggressive interest rates. What was happening was that, in a very real sense, the dollar was going into a death spiral, when Paul Volcker implemented his psychotically aggressive interest rates. Note how money supply played no role whatsoever in the inflationary period 1978–1983. Consider the following table: Increase in the money supply was both inverse to high inflation levels some years (like Jan. ‘75) and inverse to relatively low inflation levels in other years (like Jan. ‘77). But it also tracked high inflation levels other years (Jan. ‘82) as well as low inflation levels in still other years (Jan. ‘86).. When inflation was indisputably on the rampage—1980—money supply had increased by a mere 8.34%: The low end of the curve. Yet inflation that year was over 13%—even in the teeth of Volcker’s medicine.. Had Volcker not applied his medicine, ever-spiraling commodity prices would have sent inflationary tsunamis throughout the U.S. economy—until eventually, there would have been a run on the dollar. If CPI numbers had ever crossed 20% or 25% or some other psychologically important (and so far unknown) number, then it would have been Game Over for the dollar—Zimbabwe/Weimar absurdities would not have been far behind, because there would have been a complete loss of faith in the dollar: After all, a fiat currency is only as strong as the belief it inspires in its holders. The conclusion is therefore obvious: Paul Volcker prevented hyperinflation from happening in the United States. Had inflation continued rising unabated, the dollar would have collapsed—which would have meant the collapse of the U.S. economy, much as the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. If Paul Volcker were a rock star, then I'd be a screaming 15 year-old girl—Tall Paul is my hero. One cannot overstate the political will and strength of character it must have taken for Paul Volcker to resist all the calls to cut interest rates—which were a hysterical clamor, at the time. Had he caved, the Cold War would not have been won, and so our world would be much, much different—for the worse. Those like myself who know this, know how much we owe him—which is why we respect him. As far as I am concerned, he ought to have a white marble statue thirty feet high, placed prominently on the Mall in Washington, D.C., eye to eye with the other great heroes of the Republic. He earned it. Now, let’s ask ourselves: Was this near-catastrophe Paul Volcker saved us from back in 1979 really a case of incipient hyperinflation? Many people have been using a throwaway line I wrote as a definition of hyperinflation: “Hyperinflation is the loss of faith in the currency.” If I do say so myself, it’s a nice line—but it’s inaccurate. Hyperinflation is a severe price distortion, that eventually leads to a loss of faith in the currency. In every hyperinflationary event, CPI numbers rise as the prices of consumer necessities rise. Their prices rise for different reasons—which for this discussion are myriad and irrelevant. But what is relevant is, eventually, such price rises skewer the overall economy. One of the key distortions that hyperinflation inflicts is price distortions on assets, be they equities, bonds or real-estate. By creating a run-up in consumer prices, hyperinflation imbalances the whole of the economy, making bonds, equities and real assets less valuable. This effect has been observed in every undisputed hyperinflationary episode. So apart from the severe rise in CPI numbers between ‘79 and ‘82, was there such a hyperinflationary fall in asset prices in the United States?”. (By the way, this gives lie to the notion common among money supply fetishists that “there aren’t enough dollars in the economy to ever start hyperinflation”—of course there are enough dollars: We saw it in ‘79. Money supply has got nothing to do with hyperinflation. Where there is a shortage or need for a good or commodity, the economy will rebalance itself to meet this new demand. In simple terms, people will somehow always find the cash to purchase their necessities, whatsoever price those necessities might reach. And if the market—for whatever reason—determines that a currency is worth consistently less against the same amount of commodities, then that currency is circling the hyperinflationary drain. The central bank need not inject more money to bring about this end—it can happen without recourse to money printing, or any other central bank or governmental measure.) Now all of this history is well and good—but how does it apply to the situation we find ourselves in today, in 2010? Very simple: I have been arguing that Treasury bonds are in a bubble, as they have become the New & Improved Toxic Assets. I have further argued that, at some point in the future, the markets will realize that Treasuries will never be repayed, and if they are, they will be repaid in debased dollars. Therefore, I have argued that when such a realization occurred, the markets would begin exiting Treasuries, and go to commodities as a safe haven. Contrast this with 1979: At the start of the ’79 Oil Shock, commodity prices rose because dollars were chasing commodities. These dollars weren’t fleeing from Treasury bonds—if they left Treasuries, it was simply as a byproduct of going towards commodities. As more and more dollars went towards commodities, those commodities bid themselves up, creating inflation. So in a practical sense, the period we are living in now and the period just before the Oil Shock are identical: In both cases, dollars were poised to chase after commodities, following a triggering event. In ‘79, it was the fall of the Shah. In 2010, we are waiting for our moment to exit Treasuries. Therefore, one can look at the events of ’79–’82 as a dress rehearsal for what I think will happen today, and in the immediate future, if and when the Treasury bond bubble pops: Like in ‘79, there will be a crisis that will trigger a run on commodities. Like ’79, the inflation index will start to pick up. Like ‘79, this will create hyperinflationary distortions in the American economy, which will be seen at least initially as “stagflation”. In my previous writings, I had originally thought that, when the moment arrived when markets lost faith in Treasury bonds, commodities would go hyperbolic immediately, or within a very short time frame. However, studying the events of ‘79 more closely, I realize I was wrong: I now no longer think commodity prices will spike hyperbolically and in a reduced time frame. I now think commodity prices—and CPI numbers—will rise initially at an accelerated clip, say at an annualized rate of 5–6% in the first month. But here is the tragedy: Increased inflation will not be perceived—at least not at first—as anything to get into a twist over. Each subsequent month will see an inflationary rise at a slightly faster pace, adding a percent or two a month to the annualized rate—but at least at first, not only will this not be perceived as anything worrisome, it will be considered a good thing: Because of the current deflationary recession we are in, any pick up in the inflation index will be interpreted as a pick up in the overall economy. Eventually, however, as inflation continues to rise but the jobs market doesn’t really improve, the current American economy will wake up and find it has reached the exact same point that was reached back in March of 1980—a 15% annual inflation rate. But here is the key difference: Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve cannot raise rates to reign in incipient hyperinflation, like Volcker did in ‘79.. Bernanke doesn’t realize that inflation is a symptom that can augur many things. He is convinced that inflation means growth—the opposite of deflation. So all his liquidity windows, all his cash infusions to prop up the Too Big To Fail banks and their bankster operators, QE, QE-lite, the forthcoming QE2—all of it is being carried out by Bernanke so as to cause inflation. He is convinced that inflation will signal that the economy is recovering, and that the Federal Debt will be inflated away, and therefore not break the Federal government finances. He believes that rising prices will mean that the U.S. economy is about to be saved. This is why Bernanke is set up to take a hit from hyperinflation: If and when there is a run on Treasuries, and a subsequent run up of commodities, at least initially, the Federal Reserve under Ben Bernanke will not only do nothing, they will encourage this situation. The Fed and its current leadership will interpret this rise in the CPI number as an indication that “We are on the road to recovery!” We are not: The first hint of commodity prices rising as the Treasury markets begin to fade will be an indication that hyperinflation is on its way. And by the time we get to our March 1980 moment—by the time we get to 15% annualized inflation index—it will be over. The next stop will be Zimbabwe. Well, this is a very BLEAK picture. But - if possible - the situation of Mr Bernanke is even WORSE than that described above. This is because the measures of unemployment of the present ARE NOT the same of the measures of thirty years ago ... today the unemployment is ALREADY FAR ABOVE 10% IF MEASURED WITH THE STANDARDS OF THIRTY YEARS AGO ... Gonzalo, I've really enjoyed reading your series on hyperinflation but you've lost me here on the comparison to '79. Volker is certainly hero as far as recent U.S. history is concerned (and it's a shame that he doesn't have a stronger voice in the current administration) but let's not lionize him as the savior of the free world. You haven't made a convincing case that we were on the edge of the abyss in 79-80. Why would 20% + inflation in the early 80's been the end of the world? What were the alternatives to the U.S. $ at the time? Remember winning the Cold War was an enormous objective. This objective had far more clarity than say winning the "war on terrorism" of today. My guess is prolonging inflation in the 80's would have been bad but not disasterous. We would have muddled through. Our economy at the time - even with sharply accelerating inflation - was still far more productive than the economy in the USSR. The baby boomer generation was starting to move into their working prime. Perhaps stubbornly high oil prices would have pushed us more quickly to energy alternatives. Perhaps Reagan would have been a one-termer. I don't see how basic history would have changed. Capital would have found productive inputs. That last point segways to our current problem - accumulated years (or even decades perhaps) of applying our excess capital (essentially the boomer generation savings) into unproductive inputs. The first bubble - the tech craze - was the least damaging. Author Michael Lewis has writen a pretty good case that the bubble actually boosted productivity in a number of ways - remember Global Crossing wrapping the world in fiber optic cables? Anyway, we decided to move our capital into housing. Unless you open a farm, a house provides little net value-added to the economy, no matter how many garages you have. Instead of writing that off, we passed that hot potato to the U.S. Treasury. Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury was busy collecting its own inventory of useless junk - counterproductive wars, counterproductive health plans, etc. We've "consolidated" all are credit card loans to one place. Given that capital now moves at the speed of light - literally - this is unprecedented in world history. It's certainly much different that 1979. As Spengler predicted, politics eventually destroys the money system. Well written. One thing I would add to Bernanke's psyche is that he is not only trying to cause inflation, but he is trying to induce a wealth effect by driving up equity and asset prices. Clearly this has thus far not worked, as outflows from equity mutual funds have been non-stop and housing overhang is resulting in a resumed price decline. Thanks for your clear thoughts. Great article. I have to agree with you 100%. I wrote something just the other day saying pretty much the same thing, just not as eloquently as you did. crack-up-boom.blogspot.com It is going to be very ugly when everything starts pouring into commodities. God help us all. Gonzalo, This scenario is extremely plausible. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said "Bernanke thoroughly believes that only liquidity injections and cheap money can save the economy—he is looking for inflation". As Bill Gross told us in August 2009: "Reflating nominal GDP by inflating asset prices is the fundamental, yet infrequently acknowledged, goal of policymakers. If they can do that, then employment and economic stability may ultimately follow." I emphasize that Gross used the words IF and MAY, not when and will! -Dave John Hussman's Aug. 23, 2010 commentary "Why Quantitative Easing is Likely to Trigger a Collapse of the U.S. Dollar" on this topic was excellent. Hussman: "My impression is that Ben Bernanke has little sense of the damage he is about to provoke. A central banker who talks about throwing money from helicopters is not only arrogant but foolish." Later in the commentary, Hussman: ." The emphasis in capitals is mine. -Dave Right on Gonzalo. That was a bomb of an article. Gonzalo: It's great to hear you reference this period in our history..... I was a floor broker at the CEC and a partner at a small boutique IB/TH.... I lived that period at my trading desk in lower Manhattan and in the silver, gold and sugar rings at the CEC in the WTC at the COMEX and the NYCS&C Exch. Those were truly memorable times and I reference them regularly as a parallel to this state of affairs we're in today.... In this latest post, I believe that you have articulated some adjustments in the synthesis of your theoretical forecasts, that fall much more in line with my own. Correct me if I'm wrong.... However, I see you moving more towards the hyper-inflationary scenario in the deflationary context school of thought. That is precisely what I have positioned myself for in the markets. I wholeheartedly agree with you that treasuries are bubblelicious. Gold, silver and sugar (I consider sugar to be the agricultural currency) are undervalued. And equities as a matter of fact and not perception, are well overvalued. I'm not going to touch oil for reasons that I can't go into at the moment, however, I do anticipate that the price of oil will move much higher later in the cycle. To those who have a blind spot to your measured and well thought out theories, all I can say is GOOD LUCK.... Best regards, Econolicious Well said. Even now we can watch the price of silver as reflecting exactly what you are arguing. _____________________________ Greenspan Hint: The Federal Reserve System Fraud is in fact much worse than what Ron Paul envisioned: "Most Effective Stimulus Now Would Be Rising Stocks" Is the FOMC Playing the Stock Market? _____________________________ Gonzalo, In my opinion the oil supply played a key role in helping Paul Volcker fight back inflation. I'm going out on a limb here, I don't have the numbers to back this up, but at the beginning of the 80s the world still had plenty of untapped supplies, starting with Saudi Arabia. The USA used their political pull to nudge Saudi Arabia, as well as other befriended Middle East states, to produce more, which was instrumental in diminishing the pressure on commodities and reinforcing the faith in the dollar. Later on, the North Sea discoveries were also a huge factor in helping the western world, especially the UK, fuel a new economic boom. In other words, Paul Volcker could count on the fact that the oil supply disruption were temporary and politically induced. There was no "peak" situation in any commodity like today, no peak oil, no peak gold, no peak copper or iridium... It's absolutely not the same for Bernanke now. On the contrary, the constraints on the oil supply are now almost entirely geological, and we know that in the coming years world oil production will gradually decline. It is very unlikely that new discoveries will save the Western economies at the 11th hour. Gonzalo, disappointed you didn't mention that Volcker was one of the 'advisers' that took the US off the gold standard and started the mess in the first place ! Vincent said: "...in the coming years world oil production will gradually decline. It is very unlikely that new discoveries will save the Western economies at the 11th hour." I think you're right Vincent that oil will no longer be available "cheap" - not necessarily because there couldn't be new discoveries but because $150 oil was an ominous warning that world demand is increasing faster than supply. We could avoid the disaster at that 11th hour by recognizing NOW that the price of oil will surely go up; and setting federal policy to encourage us toward alternatives (rather than waiting for the regular demand/supply forces to bring about that change). The good news is that when oil-based energy triples in price, from where it is now (ie, $10 gasoline), then virtually all alternatives will become viable. [Based on this I see a $300-$400 ceiling on oil.] The bad news is that the US is at the very bottom in creating a *stable-energy-policy* (one that isn't blocked by politics or changed every 2-4 years). I view a well-thought-out AND *stable-energy-policy* to be MORE IMPORTANT than almost all other issues facing our economy. If all US consumers of oil-based-energy knew that oil would gradually become less viable as an energy choice (perhaps every 3 months there could be a small tax-increase on each barrel of oil extracted/imported, over a 10-year period), then individuals and businesses would develop their plans accordingly. There would be no need for CAFE standards, or other heavy-handed methods. With a known energy policy, consumers would know how choose, and capitalists could do what they do best: be capitalists! [Note: I prefer government "encouragement" in the form of gradually-implemented taxes, rather than passing out subsidies chosen by bureaucrats that have no capitalist incentive (and possibly corrupt motives).] Alas, it will probably not happen that way, I expect to see a disaster (either/both of dollar-destruction and war) long before the US adopts a "stable-energy-policy". -Dave PS - my apologies for getting a bit off-subject. Two comments on currency: Consumers tend to have little plastic printing presses in their back pockets. An expectation of price hikes on commodities will probably send a lot of us to Costco, to stock up using our credit cards. The collective balance on those cards will then be an asset which the card issuers can leverage for further cash flow. This might result in some sudden inflationary events; the first crowd-sourced devaluation, if you will. It's also interesting to consider USPS "forever" stamps as portable, exchangeable, commodity-backed currency. Their nominal price hasn't gone up much, recently, but I could imagine people using them to store some small amount of value. It's probably of academic interest that postage stamps are backed by a commodity service rather than a commodity good, and a service tied so closely to transportation fuel prices. It's very interesting that the USPS chose to de-couple from the US dollar when they did. Where's Mish...? :-) I like the poster above who suggested the imperative and 'clarity' we had in 'winning' the Cold War... We spent a lot of money, that's for certain. But in the context of of the old Soviet Union, vs. the New & improved FSB, what did we win? In terms of their still-existing partnerships with 'terrorists' (like Iran & Syria), and fellow travelers (like Red China), what have we 'won'? The Russians still have nuclear weapons - and other armaments that are equal or superior to ours. And they're building... We didn't 'win' anything. And the Russians are still 'Soviets' in many aspects. And Putin still runs the country. Another piece of re-written history that needs to be un-re-written and put back in its proper context... I disagree with you not one iota. "Tall Paul" deserved a tremendous amount of credit. However, you failed to mention the name of Ronald Reagan once much less B. H. Obama. President Reagan backed Volker throughout this entire period and took the political heat. On t he other hand you have the "annointed one". David St. Louis Comparing the remains of the US today to the 1970s may be optimistic. Problem with this analysis is that there was no oil supply shock. The dollar price of oil increased but the gold/oil ratio (the real price of oil) was fairly steady at between 1/13 and 1/15. So the reason the oil price doubled is because the gold price doubled. The price of gold pulled the price of oil up with it. The exact same thing is going on today. Gonzalo, your thesis that a selloff of US Treasuries will lead to a commodity bubble should be tested against the more recent history in 2007 and 2008. At that time, we had a commodity bubble with oil prices approaching $150 per barrel. There are people who believe that the following collapse of commodity prices (oil prices fell all the way down to $40 per barrel) was initiated by Paulson and Bernanke in order to prevent a Dollar hyperinflation. Regardless whether true or not, the fact is, that oil prices did collapse (even gold fell 20%) and money started to flow into US Treasuries. The Treasury bubble is still going on with no end in sight. The question therefore is: If Treasuries sellout and money flows again into commodities, why can the trick of 2008 not be repeated and a huge sellout of commodities be forced upon the market? It would be enough to convince a few large hedge funds to sell out their commodity positions. That is was happened in 2008. I don't think that commodities would have gone any further than they did and it is not clear to me that Volcker's actions were completely necessary. Gold price rose, reflecting a loss of faith in the dollar--this much is true. However, the gold price hit its (up to that time) all-time intraday high of $875/oz at which point the US treasury obligations were fully backed by the bullion that the US held. At that point, the US was solvent again, and with short rates at 19% it was extremely tempting to leave gold and move back into treasuries, which is what happened. If interest rates had been somewhat lower, the situation would have been the same. The key event was the pricing of gold at a level sufficient to back US obligations. Of course, now those obligations are so large compared to the gold held by the US (which is unknown without an audit) so the same fix will occur at a presently unknown gold price. While I think you've made an admirable attempt here, it seems to me that you're taking the relevant context too narrowly to get a full picture. It seems to me that, while the oil may have been a catalyst, there were far more basic reasons for the occurrence of stagflation in the '70s and '80s, namely the fact that this was the start of the period in which American manufacturing could no longer compete with Asian companies, where the US capitalist class was taking its investment capital. This could not be fixed, however, because of the - at the time - counterproductive labor unions, which prevented wage adjustments and other changes that might've made american businesses more competitive, and because of US subsidization of the car industry through gas price subsidies etc., which allowed US auto makers to ignore the fact that their cars were obsolete. In this and similar ways, protectionism and unions caused the stagflation.. But while the problem today is still the fact that US manufacturing cannot compete, this is no longer because of labor, as we know that the US worker has not had an inflation-adjusted wage increase since the mid-70s.. The problem lies entirely with the capitalists who are no longer interested in making sure their consumers earn wages which they can then use to buy goods with, and in stead asked Greenspan to make it happen that US consumers could borrow and fund their consumption that way, which he promptly did. Anyway, parts (higher-educated workers) of the US workforce are still competitive, and other parts have become more or less competitive by now, so I don't think hyperinflation would've been a very likely outcome, but it seems to me that the stagflation From The Perspective of the (lower) Middle Class has never really abated, but it is only in the last few years or so that people have started noticing this - a fact that is absolutely pathetic. As for now, I doubt that inflation will really happen, as all the QE has not led to a marked increase in M1/M2, and it is disadvantageous in the extreme for the rich to own a devaluating currency. Huh? what gold, backing what dollar? have you not learned that Nixon got mad at France in 71 and abandoned the gold standard, refusing to honor the pledge to exchange gold for dollars at the rate of $35 per once. Best I know, that policy is still in effect. if the truth is your best friend, why did'nt you post my comments on the federal reserve? are you in denial? its ok, you figure you will be squashed if you naysay the fed. but just for youself - try to identify the shareholders of the fed. It's the best kept secret since dealy plaza. Don't forget that some of the PM leaps up were connected to the Hunt's efforts at cornering the silver market. They might have made it and the price of silver hit the moon but the exchange rules were changed which shot down both silver and gold. If that large-economy cheating didn't happen, it's interesting to speculate what might have happened. "In simple terms, people will somehow always find the cash to purchase their necessities, whatsoever price those necessities might reach." Can you please explain your rationale for this statement? Exactly what is the "somehow" people use to find cash to buy necessities when they are unemployed and their bennies have run out. Inflation can only persist if the consumer has money to spend. Reality check Gonzalo, the consumer is ALREADY BK. Prices go up any more, people will not buy at those prices, necessity or not. They will steal it, they won;t be ABLE to buy it. Deflation all the way my friend. RE Deflation all the way to where? The problem with the deflationists' argument for me is that I have never heard a convincing outcome to the deflationary period. Please, could a deflationista describe what they see is the endgame to the deflationary period, if it isn't hyper-intflation/currency death? Thankyou in advance In the late 1970's Gold nearly doubled from around $400.00 after the Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan. Also, one of the largest mines and source for Gold in the late 1970s went on strike in South Africa. Important to note that gold ownership by citizens had been restricted or outlawed by the government until the mid 1970s. This means the rise in gold was in part due to the US government leagalization of gold ownership in the 1970s. Mr. Volker was indeed lucky to be in the right place at the right time to receive credit for the Gold and Silver commodity bubble burst. The true market value of Gold at the 1980 peak was about $80-125.00 based on the government deficit figures. The government deficit caught up and surpassed gold in the late 1990s. Except for extreme events or supply disruption that occurred during the late 1970s, add about $100 to the price of Gold for every 1 trillion dollars added to the government deficit based on the governments current high credit rating. As stated in another post above, the Hunt Brothers helped Silver rise to about $50.00 before it collapsed. Anonymous said: "Please, could a deflationista describe what they see is the endgame to the deflationary period..." I don't consider myself a "deflationist", nor am I sure what it means, but I'll try answering the question "How can a nation escape a deflationary spiral?" If a nation has little or no debt, then it is much easier to end deflation, but in that case it is unlikely that such a nation would ever fall into the deflationary pit. The nation could borrow and use that to pay down private debt. If a nation owns some particular natural resource (gold, oil, timber, etc), then that wealth could be used to pay down private debt. War may be the most common endgame for those nations that can actually pull off a "win" of such war. War works because the government can successfully pull-off things like wage-price freezes, rationing, ceasing private wealth/property, restricting flow of money, and dozens of other things that seem anathema to today's citizenry. -Dave My take away; get out of I bonds. Thanks! You can't think of any other outcome to credit collapse than hyper-inflation? Was the outcome of the Great Depression a hyperinflation in Amerika? Hyperinflation is the anomaly rather than the norm. Generally in deflationary depressions goods simply disappear from the marketplace as the money supply disappears. Anyhow, hyperinflation may occur once Da Goobermint starts passing out free money to J6P as they do for the banksters, but until then if prices go up to the moon, people will simply stop buying, necessity or not. They don't have the MONEY. That is the simple truth. RE Hyperinflation is economically defined as a minimum monthly inflation rate of 50%. In the world's greatest hyperinflationary event - post-WWII Hungary - prices doubled every 13 1/2 hours. Even the recent Zimbabwean hyperinflation 'only' experienced price doubling every five days. Hyperinflation is not a relative thing. It either is, or it isn't. Using the strictest of definitions, 1979 was no more hyperinflationary than was 1937. That said, there's no reason to believe that hyperinflation will by-pass the U.S. under current monetary and socio-political conditions. Thank you so much for these recent articles, they have given me great insight into things I have come to only recently. In response to RE, during the Great Depression the U.S. dollar was a gold backed currency. Today, it is a pure fiat currency, meaning that it requires the public's faith in order to have any value. That's why we didn't have hyperinflation then. Hyperinflation will happen here because it's impossible for the government to pay off its debts. This is not widely recognized yet. Once it is recognized, the flight out of bonds will begin, and that money will go straight into commodities. Deflationists believe this money will go straight into the U.S. dollar, which makes absolutely no sense to me. And quite frankly, I don't see how anyone who follows the economy, and the philosophy of the Federal Reserve Bank, could possibly believe such a thing. After all, bonds are just promises to pay dollars. The Fed is not going to default on its debt. No way in hell. They will print. You explain hyperinflation better than anyone else I've read, and I've read a lot of people's work on the subject. Excellent! The US dollar may be the beneficiary of large capital flow. Most debt in the US and on other balance sheets is denominated in US dollars. This moutain of debt could act as a huge synthetic short against certain tangible items leading to a rush to dollars to service public and private debt. The massive wave of US dollar creation may be partly a final step to dollarize the world or leave the world few alternatives due to US dollar related debt. Gonzalo, I hope you read the comments on your blog. I'm posting this comment instead of sending you an email. I've read your posts the past few weeks about hyperinflation, the treasury bubble, and now stagflation, and I think you are dead on target. I agree with everything you have said -- except your assessment of Glenn Beck. :) Ironically, I think you and he would agree with each other on many, if not most, things. Having lived also in S America during highly inflationary times, having seen the consequences of both military and socialist governments, and knowing the resulting civil unrest, I share many of your perspectives. I am beginning to wonder if we are now seeing the early stages of commodity hyperinflation. I am a commodities trader, and despite that with every tick higher I make money, I am genuinely alarmed that commodities are back in bubble territory very much like 2008 again. Just look at the weekly charts for corn, soybeans, sugar, coffee, and cotton. They are going parabolic! I expect each day to see these commodity bubbles collapse and prices crash back to earth, but each day, they move higher and higher. Instead of prices reaching a zenith and tumbling back to earth, they are ACCELERATING higher, not lower! Other commodities, especially agricultural commodities, are rocketing higher almost every day. So are commodities not traded in the futures exchanges. Even commodities that were trending downward (lumber, cocoa, natural gas) have now reversed and are trending higher again. I don't know of any commodity futures that are trending lower except for crude oil, which is only down 3 days. Corn, sugar, cotton, coffee, orange juice, soybeans, soybean oil, soybean meal, live cattle, milk, lean hog, oats, gold, silver, palladium, platinum, copper, and rice are all trending higher. Many are rising at parabolic rates. Just look at the charts! Why not post those weekly charts here? They would help to make your case! I find it hard to believe that ALL these commodities are all facing strong demand with limited supplies simultaneously. I can't help but wonder if some of the QE money being funneled through the primary dealers is also finding its way into commodities. This is likely to accelerate even faster when the bond/treasury bubble(s) pops. It makes me very nervous to see where this is headed. When I read your articles a few weeks ago on ZH and here, something clicked in my head and I had an "aha" moment. I think you are absolutely correct and with the very rapid rise in commodity prices over these past few months, I am beginning to wonder if we're seeing it in its early stages right now. I also remember reading some months back an article suggesting that we could see hyperinflation in some assets while we are simultaneously seeing debt-based deflation of other assets (eg., real estate) and paper assets (bonds, stocks). Sound familiar? Commodity inflation (bad enough) or hyperinflation (much worse), the author suggested, would kill pricing power of businesses, thus plunging many into insolvency, while consequently leading to even higher unemployment. (By the way, the effect on employment would be a subject that I would like to know more about in the Allende government. What was the impact of hyperinflation on unemployment?) Keep up the insightful writing! Thanks for having the courage to share it with the rest of us! Hasta entonces, amigo! To RE.... Why the hell does the price of gold keep going up if people have no money? Food aint gotten any cheaper either... Lol who the hell is this Anon who states the price of gold went up in 1971 because the Feds allowed gold ownership again... That has to be the single stupidest thing I ever read. Hello! The price of gold went up because we went to a fiat currency and Nixon turned down France's request to turn in their dollars for gold. We renigged on the Bretton Woods agreement! Ya think... Maybe... Just maybe that had a bit to do with it? Wow! S Benard said it...commodities are already going up and have been since May or June of this year. Meanwhile the long end of the curve is beginning to steepen with the /ZB futures down 3 of the last 4 weeks. food for thought. @Neil That the Fed will continue to print, of this I have no doubt. They have been doing it for well onto 2 years now, with no hyperinflation. What the Fed will NOT do is distribute free money to anyone but the PDs, who will not hand out the money to anybody else. So unless and until Da Goobermint pulls a China and FORCES the banks to lend and FORCES biznesses to take the loans, the notional currency simply never goes into circulation. When one of these factors changes you can get your hyperinflation, but at the moment its not politically possible to do that here inthe FSofA. Anyhow, I wrote a longer explanation of this over on Reverse Engineering. The article is too long to fit in this response field. RE Very good article, Thanks. My comment is that faith in the dollar and thus price of commodity could rise very quickly instead of gradually 1. at that time the Feb kept rasing interest rate to chase after inflation rate. Today it's likely the Feb will keep it low even if CPI starts to go up 2. at that time dollar = oil. Today countires starts to sell their oil in other currencies. 3. Today we have China Having lived through that period running a family petroleum distributor biz (and saddled with an MBA), there is a need for clarification on what was what back then. Note the following differences: 1. When people saw that they could get a 2 year CD at 18%, they believed like he** in the $. This is the MOST important point. Wouldn't you like that now from a stable bank? 2. The US had a manufacturing base. In NC/SC, most county seats had their traffic jams at 3:30 when the 1st shift got off. 3. Moral Malaise Carter got run out of town by Reagan. 4. Remember that price controls existed on oil and gasoline. Reagan dumped them and gasoline/ heating oil doubled in price in a year, going from 60 cents to $1.20. 4. Derivatives? We don't need no stinking derivatives. Yes, there was some CBOE hedging. How gauche and unsophisticated. 5. The mainstream press was nothing like what it is now. They WANT us to suffer now. 6. FICA was 1% when JC got elected - Democrat legislation in the late 70s ramped it to the 15.3% level. 7. There were local businesses and full service gas stations. Now we have WalMart and pump your own, bitchez. 8. Prez Ford actually had red/white buttons printed saying "WIN" - Whip Inflation Now". It was around 5% then. The Man From Plains got it to 15% or so. Ho hum. The bottom line was that no one felt that the US was going down the tubes. Well, just my thoughts, I don't think the commodity prices have been rising during the last several months from people slowly and surely running from dollar, but mostly from equity linked trades(stocks are to go up, they also trade to bet commodity go up) or actual belivers of V shaped economy. I believe the event in Iran back in 1979 was a surprise to everyone, it was really a shock. On the other hand, US treasury, Fed, and banks throwing around US debt is not a secret and it has been going around for many months. Even governments around the world are worried about defending dollar. I am afraid that once we see the possibility of an auction failure, the run will be a sudden and large one. And I wonder whether everyone will run to commodities. There are good currencies out there with a lot of trade vol, these just have to be "safer" than the previously so called safest US assets. NZ, AU, NOK, and a few others might qualify, even Yen. Ag commodities continue to go parabolic Sunday evening. I remembered whose article I read about some assets were inflating while others were deflating. It was Gordon Long, who also has posted to ZH. You guys on on the same page! ...and from what I'm seeing of real estate and ag commodities, the markets are too! CFTC COT report from Friday indicates that USD shorts are increasing their bets. No small wonder! Hey S Benard— Busy arguing abortion. As I've said, e-mail me any time. GL I have a question: is there a measure people can look at to see how many dollars have been created by the Federal Reserve? Would that be MB, as explained on Wikipedia? It seems to me that the effects of fractional-reserve banking should not affect our faith in the value of a dollar, so measures of the money supply that include those effects (M2 among others) don't tell us whether the dollar is being debased or not. I understand that a panic can occur based on a widely-held belief that the Fed will debase the currency in the future, even if the Fed hasn't actually done so at all yet, but I'd like to be able to watch what the Fed actually does, if that's possible. Karen, The Fed has been sneaky about debasing the dollar—I'll have a post in a couple of days. Meanwhile, the best way to figure out how the Fed is debasing the dollar is to look at its balance sheet. In the "Termite-Riddled House" post, I linked to a very good interactive graph the shows the composition of the Fed's balance sheet through time. Hope this helps. Specific questions, do feel free to e-mail me. GL It should be noted that inflation was a windfall to homeowners in the 1970's as the value of their homes soared and the dollar value of their mortgages remained unchanged. Business who invested in capital goods to grow businesses in this period also benefited. We have been brainwashed to believe that inflation is a wholly negative phenomenon,rather than a phenomenon that has winners and losers. Volker's fight against inflation help set the stage for the debt laden strait jacket the US and the rest of the world is now facing. The fight against inflation was won at the cost of high unemployment which undermined the bargaining power of labour to demand fair wages. The nail in the coffin of inflation was augmented by the outsourcing of american jobs and the importation of cheap foreign goods. The engine of growth for the American and world economies for the past several years has been debt, both private and public. This debt will only be repaid if economies create jobs to repay this debt. Inflation ensures that those holding cash put the money to work either by buying assets or investing in businesses. trishflanagan - I think it is impossible to say that true hyperinflation is anything but awful. It leads very quickly to a barter economy, and one in which some people (farmers) can do OK but others (government employees) have to come to the black market with nothing but their (nearly worthless) stuff to trade. I read a book about inflation (The Economics of High Inflation, by Paul Beckerman, 1992) that did a bad job of explaining its causes but a good job explaining why it is bad. Mr. Beckerman certainly convinced me. His points: (1) People avoid holding money. Many buy hard assets like gold, silver, foreign currencies, and artworks. That money is totally nonproductive. Others buy stocks, which is not as bad, but when people do this they spend a lot more time juggling their accounts and investments, because they have to buy and sell stocks all the time to pay the bills. They also experience a lot more anxiety, especially if stock prices are volatile. (2) High inflation tends to be unpredictable. The higher the average value, the higher is the variability. That leads to difficulty in planning, which leads to avoidance of long-term loans, which makes financing big projects very difficult. Big projects are therefore postponed or abandoned, which shrinks economic activity. (3) High inflation affects different goods and services differently, distorting relative prices and leading to the misallocation of resources. So lenders and borrowers cannot escape uncertainty by agreeing to "real value" inflation-adjusted repayment terms, because if the borrowing business doesn't have enough pricing power it won't be able to repay the loan. (4) High inflation increases conflict and reduces trust, damaging social cohesion. Loans tend to end up being unfair in one direction or the other, causing resentment in the loser. Different interest groups (business, labor) also try to protect themselves by lobbying government for special treatment, which when granted always hurts the other parties. Sorry for the long post! GL - Thanks, I'll look forward to that post! I hope you will clarify whether everything is reflected in that balance sheet, including currency. If so, that seems kind of scary. Reverse Engineer's Deflation all the way is nonsense. If Americans won't have the cash to buy things which are dirt cheap in the stores you think the Chinese will not either? Neil:"In response to RE, during the Great Depression the U.S. dollar was a gold backed currency.": Uhh, no it wasn't, after 1933, when FDR took the US off the gold standard. It's the end of 2012, and it isn't happening. I don't doubt the fact that hyperinflation is likely, but it seems like the status quo can be maintained for a long time. Kicking the can down the road seems to be the policy of the government for now..

Learn Because Reading Is Magic: Take a Child to a Bookstore on Dec. 1st In 2010 I brought my two young children ran—a more avid group of readers you couldn't hope to find. When I floated the idea for Take Your Child to a Bookstore Day, bloggers on the listserv spread the word. My husband designed a poster, a website, and bookmarks, and we marked the first Saturday in December on our calendars.. The goal was to raise awareness that kids + bookstores = magic. And maybe something critical to building strong citizens as well as strong readers. You know that old ad campaign, "Orange juice isn’t just for breakfast anymore?" I hear that now as, "Bookstores aren’t just for reading anymore." They're more than that because you can also buy toys, cards, gifts, or have your butterscotch latte there. Bookstores are places where people can come together over ideas and engage in a cultural conversation. That concept is so important I have to say it again. They are places where people come together. Booksellers are a group who know how to zig while others are zagging, so impassioned are they by their life's pursuit, and 1, 2012 is the third annual Take Your Child to a Bookstore Day. Whether you take your own child—or that of someone else in your life—together let's build literacy, support community, and make magic happen. Click here to add participating in Take Your Child to a Bookstore Day to your GOOD "to-do" list.

Burn, Baby, Burn Ever wonder what to do with your old computers? Here?s a hint: do not just simply put them out on the curb for pick up.

Real name: Birthdate: N/A Status: Single Partner: Kym Gail Ryder (née Marsh) (born in Whiston, Knowsley, Merseyside, England, on 13 June 1976) is an English Actress and Singer. Marsh grew up in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Greater Manchester. Ryder first arose to fame when the reality TV show Popstars emerged. She is presently most recognisable from her role as Michelle Connor on the long-running ITV soap opera Coronation Street which she has played since 2006. In 2001 ITV's talent show Popstars was on the lookout for five girls, or boys, to be part of a group, that would go on to try and make it big in the charts. Kym was one of the lucky one's who impressed judges with her vocal talent. After becoming one of the chosen five for the group now called Hear'Say, she and fellow group mates were moved into a mansion, in preparation for the single and album launch. Whilst auditioning for the group, she kept it a secret that she had two children, David and Emily, who were then aged 5 and 3. She became particularly noticeable when she became angry and emotional when one judge, Nigel Lythgoe, advised her to lose weight. Cursing and crying, Marsh refused to be judged, but became popular with the public. Hear'Say hit the #1 spot with debut single Pure & Simple and also with their debut album Popstars. 37 date sell-out arena tour and performed numerous television guest appearances. However, the media were quick to savage the group, and scrutinise their every move. The band enjoyed one more single before tensions started to emerge. In July of 2003 Kym released her debut solo album which contained her three solo singles and twelve other tracks. Kym's 'make-or-break' 3rd single, Sentimental, stalled at #35 resulting in her being dropped by her record label. Kym has since expressed her unhappiness whilst she was in the music industry. In a surprise move in early 2006, she entered Making Your Mind Up, the UK show to pick a singer and song for the Eurovision Song Contest with a song called "Whisper To Me". Kym came fourth in the contest, losing out to the winner Daz Sampson. From July 2004 to February 2005, Marsh played "Annette" in the hit West End musical Saturday Night Fever at the Apollo Victoria Theatre to much critical acclaim, The Guardian calling her 'sparkling'. In November 2005, Ryder re-joined the musical during it's UK tour with a short run of performances at the Edinburgh Playhouse. Awards WON 'Best Newcomer' (Michelle Connor, Coronation St) at the September 2007 TV Quick and TV Choice Awards 2007. 'Best Newcomer' (Michelle Connor, Coronation St) at the May 2007 British Soap Awards. 'Most Popular Newcomer' (Michelle Connor, Coronation St) at the 2007 2nd TVNow Awards. Kym is also nominated for the 'Best Newcomer' award at the National Television Awards to be screened on ITV1 on the 31st of October 2007. After settling in St Albans with husband Jack Ryder, the couple had early difficulties and a split for a short while. In light of her regular roles in north-west-produced dramas, while Jack generally tours in theatre, the couple moved to Manchester and closer to Kym's family in 2005. © 2007 Gossip Rocks : This site best viewed in Firefox.

: 6. Increased penalties for attacking and/or injuring Auxiliary Police Officers. By granting Auxiliary Officers the status of PEACE OFFICER WHILE ON DUTY, Auxiliary Members will be re-qualified as "NYC SPECIAL PATROLMEN." a status that exists in the NYC Administrative Code and the NYS Criminal Procedure Law. The change in status will automatically bring with it an increased range of penalties for injury to an Auxiliary Officer. 7. Appropriate benefits for disabled Auxiliary Officers and their families. 8. Mandated regular reporting by NYPD to City Council on Auxiliary Program statistics such as equipment, vehicles, training, hours, and number of personnel. 9. Improved and increased training and self defense classes for Auxiliary Officers to be administered by Police Academy Instructors. 10. Full Restoration of Auxiliary Emergency Service Unit (AESU) name and function in order to allow Auxiliary Officers to properly serve as the auxiliary arm/adjunct of the NYPD Emergencies Services Unit as was originally mandated upon its creation in 1950.

Breigha Wilder-Cochran Joining Women's Basketball in 2013 Tigers Comeback Falls Short at Arkansas, 67-57 Ticket Information Elma Roane Fieldhouse Tiger Women's Hoops on Facebook Tiger Women's Hoops on Twitter Dec. 31, 2012 MEMPHIS - - Senior forward Nicole Dickson was named the Conference USA Player of the Week and freshman guard Ariel Hearn was named C-USA Freshman of the Week Monday. Dickson scored 28 points in the Tigers' win over Missouri on Saturday, her sixth 20-plus point effort in the first 12 games of the season. Dickson opened the game with a three-point field goal and never looked back, shooting 56.3 percent from the field and knocking down a total of four three-point field goals to improve to sixth in school history in career threes. With the scored tied at 69 with less than 30 seconds to play, Dickson got the ball and knocked down a six-foot jumper with 0.4 seconds left on the clock to break the tie and put Memphis up 71-69. She knocked down the and-one for the old-fashioned three-point play to give the Tigers the final 72-69 edge on the scoreboard. This is her second C-USA weekly honor this season and the second of her career. Hearn earned her first career weekly honor from C-USA after scoring 17 points, including 12 in the second half, in the win over Missouri. Three times, Missouri hit a bucket, including two threes, to cut into Memphis' lead in the waning minutes of the second half on Saturday. Each time, Hearn answered on the Memphis end of the floor, knocking down a layup and converting the jumper and one to help Memphis hang on to the lead. She finished with four assists and was the team's second-leading rebounder with six boards in the win. The win over Missouri was Memphis' first win over an SEC school since 2003 and snapped a 13-game losing streak to SEC opponents for the Tigers. Memphis is hosting Tennessee Tech beginning at 12:05 p.m. in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse on Monday. Memphis wraps up non-conference play Saturday with a 1 p.m. contest against Wright State in the Fieldhouse.

Verizon quietly confirmed that it will be releasing a BlackBerry 10 smartphone when RIM’s new mobile operating system launches in the early part of 2013. The carrier confirmed the news to CNET yesterday in addition to confirming plans to release multiple Windows Phone 8 powered smartphones in the fourth quarter of this year. Verizon Chief Marketing Officer Tami Erwin stated that the carrier will be carrying a BlackBerry 10 device at launch though Erwin remained silent about what device it would offer, if it would offer multiple devices or when the launch might take place. Read: RIM to Debut 6 New BlackBerry Devices With BlackBerry 10 in Early 2013. Thus far, all RIM has said is that the software will launch in Q1 of next year. Originally, the software was going to debut this year but RIM delayed the launch beyond this year’s holiday season. The company is said to be releasing a grand total of six BlackBerry 10 devices to go along with the launch in Q1 2013 though the company remains mum on the specifics of those devices. We do have bits and pieces of information though. We know that one will be a touchscreen-only slate-style device with an HD display clocking in with 1280 X 720 pixels. And we know that another will come with a candybar form factor, full QWERTY hardware keyboard, and a 720 X 720 display. The other four BlackBerry 10 devices remain in the shadows at this point. We expect the two aforementioned devices to be the flagship devices though, meaning they will get the most promotion and likely, the most sales. Read: Early Review of QWERTY BlackBerry 10 Device is Positive. It’s unclear what other carriers, if any, will be on board when BlackBerry 10 devices do arrive. The new software represents a major overhaul for the BlackBerry operating system, the current generation of which is Blackberry 7. BlackBerry 10 will feature a new UI, improved virtual keyboard, a new Music player and a whole lot more. RIM also says that BlackBerry 10 will have a thriving app marketplace at launch and it expects to launch with more applications than any first-generation operating system. It has not said how many apps it plans to have available at launch.

Energy Projects The Isle of Man, and Isle of Man Government use a lot of energy every year. Within Government, we are committed to improving our energy efficiency and reducing our overall energy use To assist in this the Energy Initiatives Capital Fund was established in Budget 2008 with £3m. This Fund is to finance spend-to-save energy projects if Departments aren’t able to finance these projects themselves. The Fund has also been used for other energy and sustainability projects, such as the Renewable Energy Study from AEA which you can download below. The AEA report reviewed which Renewable Energy technologies may be most suitable for the Isle of Man, how much energy they could supply and at what cost. A selection of already implemented projects can also be found below. The AEA Report confirmed that the first priority is always energy efficiency. Biomass (woodchip) was highlighted as a very attractive option for the Isle of Man to supply renewable heat. The graph on the right shows the relative prices of Isle of Man fuels, as at April 2011. Wood Heating is a very cost-effective source of energy. The first building to install a wood chip boiler was DEFA HQ in St Johns. Future buildings suitable for wood chip boilers include Sheltered Housing schemes, swimming pools, large schools and offices. Heat from wood fuel, burned in special biomass boilers, is environmentally friendly and carbon neutral because the plantations are managed and replanted, so there are always more trees to replace those harvested.

I've heard that the coyotes found here are as big as wolves, or a German shepherd? The average Eastern coyote in Nova Scotia is about 15 kg (34 lbs) with some males reaching 23 kg (50 lbs.). This is about twice the size of coyotes found in southwestern USA. This larger size has been attributed to past interbreeding with wolves, as coyotes spread northward and eastward across the continent. Today, the coyotes found here are considerably smaller than wolves. In terms of dogs, they're about the size of a border collie or approximately 61 cm (24 in.) at the shoulder. See visually the size of coyotes. Weren't coyotes brought into Nova Scotia by people? No. Their arrival here was part of a natural range expansion that began in the southwestern United States in the late 1800's due to pressures on their traditional habitat caused by land clearing and development. The first coyotes in Maritimes travelled here from Ontario, Quebec, New England. They eventually reached Cape Breton by crossing the ice-covered Canso Strait. Are there wolf/coyote crossbreeds in Nova Scotia? It is highly unlikely. It appears that interbreeding with wolves was in the past and that the Eastern coyote is now genetically distinct. What about coyote/dog crosses, or coydogs? There were reports of coyote/dog crosses during the initial stages of range expansion across the continent. Today the likelihood of successful coyote/dog crosses is remote. As young would be born mid-winter, their likelihood of survival would be low, and unlike wild dogs, male domestic dogs do not help provide food for the young. How can I tell if what I'm seeing is a coyote. See visually the size of coyotes. Is it more common to see coyotes during. Don't coyotes hunt in large packs? Coyotes may hunt alone, in pairs, or family units. Family units often occur in the fall or early winter as an adult pair teaches their young to hunt. Is it true that female coyotes can have super-sized litters to compensate for population losses due to hunting and trapping? In Nova Scotia the average litter is five to seven pups. Our records show a low of two, and a high of ten, pups per litter. If the coyote population goes down there will be less competition for food and as a result females will be in better condition and the litter survival rate may increase, but there is no evidence that a female can somehow control the size of her litters. Why is the population of coyotes in Nova Scotia increasing? The population of coyotes in the province is actually fairly stable. There are slight variations often dependent on the amount of trapping activity as well as availability of traditional food sources. Why are coyotes also found in urban areas? Have we invaded their home? As coyotes are a relatively new species to Nova Scotia, we have not invaded their traditional home. Coyotes are very adaptable opportunists and will live in and near human settlements, and take advantage of any food sources found there. Does the provincial government trap nuisance coyotes when people lose pets? No, but your local Department of Natural Resources office can provide a list of nuisance wildlife operators who are available for hire to capture animals that come into conflict with humans. Why do we have a pelt-incentive program instead of a bounty? The pelt-incentive program was put in place to increase trapper participation and thus have more coyotes harvested. Increased trapping can also affect coyote behaviour causing animals to fear and avoid humans. This is different from a bounty, which is a broad-scale price put on the target species to promote killing by anyone at anytime. Isn't there some way to get rid of coyotes once and for all? No. The Eastern coyote is a permanent year-round resident in Nova Scotia. Even a full scale bounty would have only a temporary effect on reducing coyote numbers. The best measure we can take is to Keep Coyotes Wild by not willingly or inadvertently providing food sources for them. This will help preserve their normal behaviour of avoiding people and places of human settlement.

By Elahe Izadi October 24, 2012 Show me the cuts! That's the message coming from 50 pro-clean energy House Democrats, who are growing concerned over the lack of details on possible sequestration cuts to energy and environment programs. My colleague Amy Harder reports for National Journal Daily on the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition, chaired by Reps. Steve Israel and Gerry Connolly. From Harder's story: For example, it's assumed that some national parks would be closed, but the Obama administration is not being specific about which ones. "The lack of specifics is troubling: We don't know what this will mean for our ability to provide clean drinking water, protect people from hazardous air pollutants, and continue creating good-paying American jobs in the renewable-energy industry," said Kara Allen, executive director of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition... "SEEC members are ready to work with members on both sides of the aisle to find a solution to these indiscriminate across-the-board cuts," Allen added. But the White House isn't budging. The administration isn't doling out any more details than what's already in a lengthy Office of Management and Budget report. While that document does have dollars and percentages on broad cuts to programs, it doesn't really lay out what specific things will be cut from programs. And when you're dealing with a budget of, say, $2.2 billion, like that of the National Park Service, a 8.2 percent cut could get implemented in lots of different ways. By Elahe Izadi October 24, 2012
