Websense Email Security
Leading email security products that embed web and data security intelligence.
Email threats evolved. Typical email security products didn't.
Phishing emails that link to infected websites cause many of today's information security breaches. Yet typical email security products use outdated methods from phishing's early days, when hackers attached viruses to emails. They can't catch blended email/web threats that can lead to malware infection. And they can't detect employee activities that can lead to data loss.
Websense® email security products provide modern defenses.
Our next-generation email security products embed our advanced web and data security technologies and are easily managed through the Websense TRITON™ Unified Security Center — whether deployed in the cloud, on an appliance or using a hybrid of both.
Email Security Gateway Anywhere
Websense Email Security Gateway Anywhere provides unmatched protection against traditional and modern threats, plus data loss prevention (DLP) and Websense TruHybrid™ dual-platform deployment.
Cloud Email Security and Content Control
Websense Cloud Email Security and Content Control is deployed in the cloud to protect against traditional and modern threats, data theft and data loss.

The First Shabbat of the Year
January 2, 2015
Every week, Jody Hirsh, the JCC's Judaic Education Director, provides a Judaic message that is featured at the top of the JCC's weekly email newsletter. Below is the Shabbat message for Friday, January 2, 2015.
The First Shabbat of the Year
Whoa! Is that right for a Jewish Shabbat blog? The first Shabbat of the Year? Isn't the first Shabbat of the year just after Rosh HaShanah... also known as Shabbat Shuvah? What's the deal?
Well... Nothing speaks about our long diasporous history more than the way we navigate through our calendars. Diaspora is a Greek word which means "dispersion." It refers to the fact that ever since the "Babylonian exile" in 586 BCE, and then the "Roman Exile" in 70 CE – Jews have been scattered all over the world. The ancient term for this dispersion was Galut (or Golus) – EXILE. But calling this condition of Jewish life "exile" is hardly a fair assessment of Jewish history. Our dispersion throughout the world has actually immeasurably enriched us, and has been the source of vast creativity. One of the outcomes of this unique Jewish existence is that we're forever following multiple calendars. The Talmud (that ancient source of Jewish laws) itself speaks of four separate Jewish new years: Nissan 1 in the spring, the month of Passover, the month used to calculate the reign of kings, and the month referred to in the Torah as the first month; Ellul 1 in the summer, the tax month responsible for the tithing of animals; Tishrei 1 in the fall, Rosh HaShanah, the anniversary of the creation of the world; and, Shevat 15 in the winter, Tu Bishvat, the New Year of the Trees, the Jewish Arbor Day. However, for those of us who live in the Diaspora, we observe other New Years as well, don't we: January 1, the Gregorian New Year's Day; The Fiscal Year beginning in July; The "School Year" beginning in September; April 15, the IRS New Year. And... ever since I lived in China, I've celebrated the Chinese Lunar New Year as do many Jews with a China history!
So... celebrating multiple New Years has always been part of the Jewish Story. And, indeed... this Shabbat is the first Shabbat of the New Year.
Shabbat Shalom

Two men and a woman whose bodies were found Friday afternoon in two locations were members of the same family, the La Plata County Sheriffs Office said Saturday.
Sheriffs deputies found William Klatt Decker, 69, hanging in a barn at a farm on Colorado Highway 140, about a half mile north of the Colorado-New Mexico border and approximately five miles south of Redmesa, the Sheriffs Office said in news releases Sunday.
Deputies were checking Deckers house after receiving a call from a separate agency about 1:40 p.m. Friday reporting suspicious activities, said La Plata County Sheriffs Office spokesman Dan Bender.
While completing a welfare check on the rest of the property, investigators found the body of 40-year-old Robert Decker (also known as Duke), in a shallow grave on the property a short time later. Robert Decker was William Deckers nephew, the release said Sunday
Robert Decker, also a resident of the farm, was found with his foot protruding from freshly dug dirt near a river bank, Bender said.
Based on information found at the farm, Sheriffs Office investigators asked the Durango Police Department to conduct a welfare check on Billie Decker, 67, at her home on Riverview Drive.
Billie Decker, who is the mother of Robert Decker and the sister of William Decker, was dead in her home when the officers arrived, Durango Police Lt. Ray Shupe said Friday.
Police are investigating her death as a homicide, Shupe said.
Because Billie Deckers death took place within city limits, the Durango Police Department and the Sheriffs Office are completing separate investigations but are working closely on the case, Bender said.
Official causes of death have not yet been released, and autopsies are scheduled to take place over the next two days, Bender said.sw
The La Plata County Sheriffs Office will not release new information in the case until Monday, when the coroners results are expected to come in, he said.
Authorities do not believe there are other victims in the case or that the person responsible for the deaths is at large, Bender said.
A previous version of this story incorrectly identified the locations where William Klatt Decker and Robert D. Deckers bodies were found. firstname.lastname@example.com

We get visitors from over 150 countries, and probably many of them are care providers. English is the international medical language, but I'm wondering if there aren't a substantial number of people who would rather have the content in French (for parts of Africa etc.) Or Urdu. Or Quechua. Not that those are necessarily easy to find translators for!
Re : language question
Well, we've certainly had Spanish speakers here, but I don't know that I've seen other languages represented on a routine basis.

If you're aware of a need for the content in this forum to be posted in a language other than English, could you let me know? (I'm about to set up a more formal survey and am trying to decide which languages to include.)

U.S. manufacturing expanded slightly in December, bouncing back from an unexpected contraction the prior month, according to an industry report released on Wednesday.
Continue Reading Below
The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said its index of national factory activity rose to 50.7 from 49.5 in November.
The reading narrowly beat 50.3, the median expectation of 55 economists polled by Reuters.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the sector.
While the index recovered from the 40-month low hit in November, it was well off the 54.1 reading seen in January 2012, suggesting manufacturing was still struggling to regain the momentum it had at the start of last year.
The employment index rose to 52.7 in December from 48.4, while the forward-looking new orders component was steady at 50.3. Prices paid jumped to 55.5 from 52.5, beating expectations of 51.5.

County accepts responsibility for Rubicon Trail easement
August 26, 2012
TAHOMA, Calif. and#8212; The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors voted last week to take control of and responsibility for a U.S. Forest Service easement of the Rubicon Trail, a decision that tries to balance the desires of the off-road community and environmental groups.
The four-wheel drive trail traverses the Sierra just west of the basin, winding its way from Georgetown to Lake Tahoe near Tahoma. It's 22 miles of challenging off-road terrain, and recent heavy use and lack of maintenance had put the historic trail in jeopardy.
In 2001, El Dorado County was notified of sanitation, spill, safety and sediment issues on the trail, what CAO Administrative Analyst Vickie Sanders called the and#8220;four S's.and#8221;
Toilet paper clusters, dubbed and#8220;white flowersand#8221; by Sanders, lined the route, while lack of maintenance had created serious erosion and water quality issues.
and#8220;It was horrible,and#8221; said Karen Schambach, president of the Center for Sierra Nevada Conservation.
The conservation group encouraged the county to apply for the easement.
Recommended Stories For You
In 2009, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a cleanup and abatement order to the USFS and El Dorado County. According to Sanders, the county took the opportunity to step in and take over the route.
and#8220;Instead of fighting it, our supervisor Jack Sweeney said, and#8216;We'll take it,'and#8221; Sanders said.
Since, the Rubicon has undergone something of a facelift. There are new rock barriers and a bridge for erosion control, water bars, bathrooms and spurs where recreationists can camp, and there are more projects under way. Officials will close the route if and when use would contribute to erosion, usually during heavy precipitation periods. They have already closed some user-created trails.
Today there are fewer and#8220;white flowersand#8221; along the route, and families are coming back to the trail, according to Sanders.
and#8220;The beauty of the area has been maintained. There aren't toilet paper clusters everywhere. It's great to see the Rubicon back for all forms of recreation,and#8221; she said.
John Arenz, vice president of the Rubicon Trail Foundation, a nonprofit organization that works to protect the route, said that the easement is a positive step forward that will end years of finger pointing between the county and Forest Service regarding who has responsibility for the trail.
and#8220;It means two things. For the people who don't drive off-road, other people will continue to use it and that's good for the community,and#8221; Arenz said. and#8220;For the people who do spend time on the trail, they're going to see trail improvements.and#8221;
Schambach said it's a much-needed move that has been in the works for too long.
and#8220;The outcome was good. The users should be pleased,and#8221; she said. and#8220;They're going to get the maintenance and it'll protect a recreation resource while it's protecting the environment."

Zero-based budgeting (ZBB) enables organizations to foster growth and increase competitive advantage through strategic cost reduction. By gaining forensic insights into consumption and spending activities, companies can identify opportunities for cost savings, freeing up capital that can then be reinvested. But making ZBB work requires more than analyzing spends and building a budget from zero. Companies that use the method to fuel growth must consider four critical areas, implementing key processes along the way. See if you can figure out what's needed to make zero-based budgeting a success.
As a showcase for the most innovative thinking on high-performance business, Outlook focuses on six core themes: Redefining Competitiveness, Digital Disruption, Global Operating Model, Open Innovation, Sustainability and Workforce of the Future. We feature original content devoted to these topics as well as a selection of unique insights offered by professionals throughout Accenture.

University academic to lead new centre to help dementia sufferers
9 April 2013
The University of Sydney's Associate Professor Susan Kurrle is leading a new federal government funded centre, which will deliver improved quality of care for people with dementia across Australia in hospitals, community settings and residential care facilities.
The $25 million National Health and Medical Research Council Partnership Centre for Better Health will focus on cognitive and related functional decline in older people to arm service providers and decision makers (including government, accreditors and care providers) with the best evidence and information to deliver Better Care, Better Health, Better Minds for older people with cognitive impairment and dementia.
The centre is unique in that it brings together clinicians, consumers, aged care providers and policy and decision makers to work in tandem with researchers.
Associate Professor Kurrle brings an enormous amount of experience and knowledge to this program with her appointments as the Curran Chair in Health Care of Older People at the University's Sydney Medical School and as Clinical Director and Senior Staff Specialist for Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital's Division of Rehabilitation and Aged Care.
The virtual head office for the Partnership Centre will be located at Hornsby Hospital, but the partnership involves the cooperative work of five states (excluding Tasmania), nine universities and the input of 13 different professions including clinicians, researchers, aged care consumers and service operators, lawyers and government.
Associate Professor Kurrle and her team have spent the past few months developing a five-year work plan that will respond to the needs of the health care system ensuring the programs delivered and the guidelines developed support care in the home, the community, hospitals, and long-term care facilities.
"Others are working on effective prevention or a cure for dementia. Our work is to develop better and innovative ways of caring for people with dementia, and implementing what is known to be best practice but is currently not being used," she said.
"This partnership gives us a fantastic opportunity to better apply the knowledge we have to improve the way we deliver care and support to the older people with cognitive impairment."
Some of the projects that will roll out through the program include:
- CHOPS (Confused Hospitalised Older Person Study) developed in NSW hospitals, will roll out to more hospitals in New South Wales and two other States. This focuses on improving the delivery of care for patients experiencing delirium by using delirium assessment risks and implementing decoy devices for the safety of the patient.
- Developing guidelines on the diagnosis and management of dementia for GPs to improve care in the home.
- General education in the community to remove stigma so those who believe they may be at risk of developing dementia or displaying early signs of the disease are not afraid to access services.
- Generate conversation among carers and clinicians to better understand the quality use of drugs in older people with cognitive impairment. The University of Sydney's Associate Professor Sarah Hilmer, who works in pharmacology and geriatric medicine at Royal North Shore Hospital, will lead this work.
- A Vitamin D administration program in aged care facilities will be carried out by Professor Ian Cameron, of the University of Sydney's Northern Clinical School, to improve bone density and assist with fall prevention among residents.
Associate Professor Kurrle said these were only a few of the exciting projects that will run through the life of the program to help shape future practices and ultimately deliver Better Care, Better Health, Better Minds for older people.

Sophia Bush: Brittany Snow is a Lifesaver
Sophia Bush arrives at Audi and J. Mendel's kickoff party for Golden Globe Week on Sunday (January 9) in Los Angeles.
The 28-year-old One Tree Hill actress later joined pals Zac Efron and Brittany Snow at The Abbey, a popular West Hollywood gay club.
"Needed a girls night so badly after the day I had. @Brittanysnow is a life saver. So lucky to have such great friends," Sophia tweeted.
Sophia received some devastating news recently – one of the victims of the Arizona assassination attempt of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was a second cousin of Sophia's.
FYI: Sophia is wearing an Oliver Tolentino dress and Neil Lane jewelry.
10+ pictures inside of Sophia Bush at the Audi and J. Mendel Golden Globes Party…

I don't know if there is already a thread on this but given how vastly different my opinion on this player is from what it was last year I think it deserves some mention.
I was watching the Russell Wilson ROY nomination video and noticed one WR pop out numerous times and really give meaning to the YAC stat, as I believe he was one of the best.
Golden Tate, really improved and showed some value that I did not originally think he could give the team based on prior seasons.
Think someone else deserves this? Discuss.

Sen. Rand Paul Narrowly Wins Conservative Poll [VIDEO]
Conservative activists have given Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul a narrow victory in a presidential preference poll.
Paul's victory in the unscientific yet symbolic straw poll on Saturday capped this week's Conservative Political Action Conference. Paul won with 25 percent of the vote, just ahead of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio with 23 percent. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum was third with 8 percent.
The victory offers little more than bragging rights for Paul, who is popular with the younger generation of libertarian-minded conservatives who packed the conference in suburban Washington.
Nearly 3,000 people participated in the online poll and more than half were younger than 26.
Paul's father, former Texas congressman Ron Paul, won the straw poll in 2010 and 2011.
Paul has said he's "seriously considering" a presidential run.

Black ace! We want DETAILS!
BV #9 of course played to the long 746' pin.... Marc Wisbey threw his Blizzard Boss 400' directly in to the basket of the short placement, marked out of play with a BIG yellow trash bag! He considered this a "gray" ace as it was not in play for another hole and thus accepted our cajoling, but did not pay us each $5.

Sig carry questions (first post)
Hi all, Hopefully Im posting this in the right forum. It has alot to do with two specific autos, but its more about the reasons of one or the other for "tactical" reasons.
Here's my dilemma, I have had a Sig 226 several times now, its the gun I keep going back to.... it just fits. Taxes came back and now its time for me to aquire another carry piece, as my wife has gotten her permit of lately and will be inheriting my Glock-19 (she loves it).
Iv convinced myself that I should give the 228 a try because I need this to be a CCW. I used the 226 for this before. HK , Glock, and Sig are the brands I trust to this chore, I shoot them all well so Im going with Sig based on "feel" (And the SWWEEEEEEEEEET!!!! factor )
........AAAAAANNNYYYYWAY having a hard time explaining this exactly...
I guess the question is... since the 228 is only a BIT shorter in the slide (the lesser of worries) and a VERY BIT shorter in height (the REAL concealment issue, yeah??) and slightly less in the weight department, AND since I'll probably have to dress around it much like the full size, Why shouldnt I go with the old trusty 226 again, and just keep the thing this time?? Of course that BIT Height Weight and length add up to a tad more comfortable to carry. Seems either way has sufficient reasons to go with it, and I see the viablness of each.
Seems the little extra weight, and sight radius of the 226 would pay off by being a little more accurate, and help with more rapid follow up shots.
Is there some reasons of one over the other for this? Ive been going back and forth in my head with this and I just cant think of anything to sway one way or the other and ive wore out my Wife talking about it..... Any thoughts.....??
ps Pretty long winded for a first post eh?

First, Welcome to TFL
Second. Dude, you are now starting a long, long journey. You can take one of two roads:
1. Down size the caliber and/or gun that you wish to carry because it's "too hard" to CCW (dress around it, you can't get it "just right" on the first, second, etc.. try so you give up) and then you give up without finding out what fits and what doesn't.
2. You pick the gun you wish to CCW and you find your way of carrying it. I carry a full size Kimber Pro-Carry (well, it's 4.5" barrel instead of the normal 5" but my carry rig will carry both) and I have carried a full sized USP .45. All with comfort. I couldn't find the right "rig" at first but instead of giving up on the gun and myself, I kept trying.
Many people may say for you to give up and go with something smaller, lighter, easier to carry. Yet, it's up to you to decide what YOU wish to carry and then work out how to carry it. I love my Kimber and the USP and I trust them to no end and, IMHO, I'm a dang good shot with each. I have many smaller guns that are easier to carry but I'm not as good a shot and I have practiced with them. To me, the little guns just don't give me the room for error (as in, when TSHTF and your body defenses really kick in) that I have with the full sized guns (as in, you aim COM and hit about .5" from POA).
I'm also a "shaker"(sp). I tremble (losing nerve control) and with the full size I can hit and hit well. With the smaller guns, unless the BG is right up on me, my hits are good but not what I want. You have to take in your physical factors into mind also, there is no "one size fits all" answer to your question.
Good luck to you. If you like the 226 and you shoot well with it, then learn how to make it work for you.
I will give you some (to me) very important advice:
1. Don't buy cheap belts. Buy a good stiff belt. This will take up most of the weight where even a full metal pistol that weighs +++ozs doesn't feel as if it does.
2. Buy a good holster. Uncle Mikes (even though I like that company) isn't going to cut it. I actually use a cheap holster, a Galco, and I am looking at another that is more $$ but it doesn't have the cant. You may like a cant, I don't, I do better with a straight pull, some do better with a cant or even crossdraw.
The gun may cost you $500++ but it isn't going to do you proud if your carry rig cost you $49.95 out the door. You will need to spend the money on a good rig.
Honestly (and anyone here is free to steal this idea, become rich, and then please have pity on me and give me 10% of the profit) I wished that we had a shop where the person would do a fit and then build a carry rig, like one of them Tailors(sp) or something.

The P228 is noticeably easier to carry than the P226. Save the latter for home defense (Sigarms, once again, has 20 rd. magazines). You might consider the P239. I carry one in 9mm quite often, as I do the P228.
The only problem with the P239/9mm is that the little woman will, without doubt, take a shine to it, so you might as well buy two of 'em.

This is Kinda why I lean towords the full size versions myself, USP45.
Therin lies the delimma, the 228 isnt really a "small" gun
Ive carried a glock 19 and 23 for a few years before and they dont seem too small, (though I dont think Id want to go much smaller) It seems because of the design of the guns, you dont lose much going with the compact version with the G lock line. The baby Glocks IMHO are another matter. If I didnt like the feel of the Sigs better I would stay with my 19, or eh..... Buy another one after my wife steals it. I might lean towards the 17 though much for the same reasons, Im just not to worried about concealing a full size piece, though I understand and appriciate the values of a more compact weapon.
As far as the 239 goes I reallt like that one but weight\size\capacity wize Id have to stick with the model 19 over it. Ive got the models of pistols and caliber figured out pretty good that I like, for carry purposes. I wish I had the money though, cause I WOULD have a 239 "just because" its nice! (especially the two tone!!! )

I'm in a similar position here in Fla. I'm looking at going to a smaller and lighter CCW from my P226. I love the P228 but it is still a bit heavy and not much difference. You said that the wife is getting the G19---why not get another. Other choices would be USPc, P239 or P225(single stack)---going smaller you have SA XD, CS9, Kahr for subcompact. I still haven't decided but need to try out the G19 and USPc to decide.
USPc---22.8 oz
If you trust all 3 and they all feel "right" and you don't mind the non DA/SA of your P226 then logically and moniteraly the G19 makes the most sense.

If you're intent on getting a SIG for CCW, then go with the P228 for sure. Smaller overall and lighter but with an identical grip to the P226. 2oz doesn't seem like alot but with the shorter length it becomes the better ccw option.

Weight wise I would definitely go with the 226, almost the same,
Youre right though, the entire Sig line is worth a look, something for everyone!!

Highlight and copy the print you want to highlite. Paste it to your post. Highlite it, and select the html box on the right (end). That places the quote tags your selected text (end box)
Good luck

As far as carry, I carry a sig 229 everyday, and in the SmartCarry holster you can't tell, and it is pretty comfortable once you figure the best position for it. That said, i really feel that size is not really a factor to consider when carrying. Go ahead and pick up that 226 if you feel comfortable shooting it.

Well, the gun show is this weekend and Im really no further figuring out which way to go. (my fault not any of youres!!)
I WANT the 226 but common sense kinda leans me towards the 228 being the one I NEED. Carry wise ya know! I guess thats what Im gonna go looking for (hopefully I can find one after all the thinkin!) Im sure I wont be to dissapointed either way I coulda went but logic says I should give the 228 a fair shake. It feels the same as the 226 just a bit smaller, and lighter so I should shoot it O.K.
Thanks to all who responded for the help!!!! Gotta love this forum
For the next discussion......when I do get a 228 what should I shoot out of it for SD.... Gold dots or Triton High-Vel's........Im leaning towards the Gold dots...... (I gues everything is complicated!)

Well I got the 228, ordered a comp tac pro under cover, in the process of dumping the trijicons for some sights that POI at combat range, and thinking of ordering some hogue grips (Rubber).
Put 200 rounds through it over last weekend but didnt do much group work cause the sights seem to be zeroed funny.
Cant wait to make the transition to the sig, and start carrying it in the new holster...(is it here yet..????) Have to post a range report once I do some accuracy work.
Whos got some good links\cool tricks\intresting mods\ammo-holster suggestions about this gun.
What king of groups do you guys get with yours????

"It seems because of the design of the guns, you dont lose much going with the compact version with the G lock line. The baby Glocks IMHO are another matter."
Have you condsidered the baby glocks (26,27)? IMO they are 10 times easier to conceal IWB than the same gun with a full grip (19,23).
I'm not into the 9mm and 40 glocks but favor the 45 and 10mm glocks. In my experience, full size and compact don't shoot that much differently.
The glock 30 seemed a little awkward when I first bought it, but after shooting 5 or 6 matches, it grew on me. I have a glock 20 also. Although I like the idea of the 15 rounds of 10mm, and shoot the 20 a little better in a match, the glock 30 with the 10 rd. mag fits my hands really well and is easy to carry. As awkward as it seemed when I first bought it, it's become an all around sweet shooting handy little gun.

It's a little late to talk up the baby Glocks since he already bought the Sig, don't you think?

Forget the P226 unless you get the stainless version. I got rid of my P245 because I got surface rusting just by leaving it in the box. This is absolutely unacceptable as sweating on the gun will cause it to rust much faster. I'm sure you have much better things to be doing than wiping down your gun constantly so it won't rust to pieces. If you want to carry a Sig, make sure it is a stainless model such as the P229. I think the P239's also have stainless slides. the alloy receivers won't give you any trouble.
I am 5'7" and 155 lbs. I can't carry a gun the size of the Sig P229 easily with clothes I can wear normally in the hot and humid Miami weather. That is why I switched to the Glock 26. With it's tenifer finish and polymer frame, it holds up to the elements very well. The small size allows me to shove it in my waist band at the 3 o clock position and pull my shirt over it. With loose fitting slacks, I can stick it in my pocket and place my wallet over the front of it to hide the outline. I hope this helps.

"We had an amazing summer," says Alicia Brent, director of Intensive and Custom Language Programs at the Monterey Institute, of the annual Summer Intensive Language Program (SILP). She adds that both "students and faculty kept the bar very high this year, giving 150% of themselves, Olympic-style! They should be very proud of their accomplishments, as I certainly am!"
SILP now includes a number of both incoming and continuing MIIS students, some of whom are adding a third or a fourth language to their resume. The classes are small and the teaching is very collegial and includes insights into popular culture and traditions.
Six languages are offered this year: Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish and Japanese. Instructors in each language program host a variety of cultural events such as film viewings, cooking, dancing, singing and field trips. Each language group publishes an active blog where you can find links, recipes, tips for travel and everything in between. For more information visit the SILP 2012 blog.
According to Alicia Brent, many instructors leave MIIS with a changed perception of both teaching and learning languages. Common feedback from instructors is that they love the camaraderie among faculty and the opportunity to share best practices in pedagogy and expand their knowledge of the field across languages. Fittingly for an institution like MIIS, which offers master's degree programs in language teaching, SILP is a challenging and rewarding program not only for the students, but for the teachers as well.

Each year the National Portrait Gallery invites a book illustrator to design a guide for families to the BP Portrait Award. I have always loved the exhibition, and was delighted to be involved this year.
As well as being a painter, I also write and illustrate children's books. The first book, Lighty Faust the Lion, is about a boy and his imaginary friend and how they magically skip through life. The second book, Wanda and Dragonfly, is about a little girl who refuses to go to bed and ends up on a night time adventure. Both books were inspired by my two young children.
The start of the project was very exciting – visiting a vast warehouse in South London to see which paintings had been chosen for the show. It was a chance to have a good look and to start to think about which ones might appeal to children. We then explored themes that would work for the guide, for example finding animals in the paintings, looking for patterns and asking the children to imagine the conversation that the two old ladies were having in the hairdressers!
I also started to think about the characters I would create for the guide. We settled on cool aunt Jude, who is taking her niece and nephew Olive and Kit to the Gallery.
I sketched the characters in different clothes, positions and expressions and worked with the Designer to layout the guide in a way that would be fun for kids exploring the exhibition. I drew the images by hand and then scanned them into the computer to add colour and tweak the facial expressions.
We also created merchandise for the show including a bird badge, magnetic bookmark and fridge magnet.
The opening night was a real highlight – to see the characters life size on the Gallery wall, the exhibition hung and the products in the Gallery shop. Now it's back to the drawing board as I'm sketching out and creating the characters for new books, here's a little peek…
Free family art activities take place every weekday during August. Anna Hymas will be signing copies of her books in the BP Portrait Award exhibition shop at 13.30 on Wednesday 7 August.

a look at canines past…
The Alpine Mastiff is an extinct Molosser dog breed, the progenitor of the St. Bernard and a major contributor to the modern Mastiff (through such dogs as "Couchez"), as well as to other breeds that derive from these breeds or are closely related to them. The names "Alpine Mastiff" and "Saint Bernard" were used interchangeably in the early 19th century, though the variety that was kept at the hospice at the Great St. Bernard Pass was significantly altered by introducing other breeds, including Newfoundland and Great Dane, and it is this composite breed that now carries the name St. Bernard. Inevitably these dogs filtered through to the wider population, and the original variety dwindled in its pure form, though a rare breed, the "Cane Garouf" or "Patua", found in the part of the Alps formerly inhabited by the Alpine Mastiff, may also descend from the extinct breed.
No one seems to have full knowledge as to how the Blue Pauls were bred or from where they originally came. There was a story that John Paul Jones, the Scottish born American sailor, brought them from abroad and landed some when he visited his native town of Kirkcudbright about 1770. The Gypsies around the Kin Tilloch district kept Blue Pauls, which they fought for their own amusement. They were game to the death and could suffer much punishment. They were expert and tricky in their fighting tactics, which made them great favorites with those who indulged in this sport. They maintained that the breed originally came from the Galloway coast, which lends support to the Paul Jones legend. The first dogs to arrive in the United States with the English immigrants in the mid-19th century were the Blue Paul Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
The Bullenbeisser (also known as the German Bulldog) was a breed of dog known for its strength and agility. The breed was closely related to the Bärenbeisser (some believe that the two breeds were the same (the names mean "bull-biter" and "bear-biter"), and the Boxer. There were two regional varieties, the Brabanter Bullenbeisser and the Danziger Bullenbeisser. The Bullenbeisser became extinct by crossbreeding rather than by a decadence of the breed, as happened with the Old Time Bulldog, for instance. In the late 1870s, German breeders Roberth, Konig, and Hopner used the dog to create a new breed, today called the Boxer. Some 30 Bullenbeissers were already crossed by the Boxer Kennel Club of Germany at 1900 in with Bulldogs brought from the British Isles. The blood composition was 50/50 at that time, however, the German owners started crossing their dogs with all kinds of Bulldogs and Boxers, which produced an undistinguishable breed after the World War II. One reason why such quantity of German blood was used to create the Boxer dog was the wish to eliminate the excessive white color of the breed, and the necessity of producing thousands of dogs for one of the most popular breeds in the world.
The Cordoba Fighting Dog originated in Córdoba, Argentina. The breed had such strong aggression toward other dogs that the males and females would rather fight than mate. In addition, many members of this breed died in the dog fighting pits, contributing to the breed's extinction. The Cordoba was capable of hunting in a small pack of a male and female, otherwise they were more likely to turn on their packmates. The Cordoba was used as a contributing breed to create the Dogo Argentino.
Among the breed's ancestors, the most notable is the Bull Terrier, which at the time was still used in England for dog fights – at the same time Bull Terriers were being exported to the Indian subcontinent where today their lineage includes the Gull Terr.
Dogo Cubano or Cuban Mastiff or Cuban Dogo or Cuban Dogge is an extinct breed of dog from Cuba. It was of Bull Mastiff type. This breed of dog was used for dog fighting.
This breed of dog was introduced in Cuba to capture runaway slaves (cimarrones). After the abolition of slavery it became too expensive to feed and the breed ceased to exist with time.
It is thought by some that the breed originated from cross-breedings between native Tahltan dogs and dogs brought to the North American continent by Viking explorers during the Norse colonization of the Americas, as it bears strong similarities to Icelandic breeds in appearance and behavior, such as cat-like body rubbing to express affection. Though originally spread over most of the northern regions of North America, the breed fell into decline after the introduction of firearms made its hunting abilities redundant. It gradually intermingled with other breeds such as the Newfoundland dog, the Canadian Eskimo dog and Mongrels.
Kurī is the Māori language name for the Polynesian dog. It was introduced to New Zealand by Māori during their migrations from East Polynesia sometime around 1280 AD. It was used by Māori as a food source and the skin and hair was used for making dog-skin cloaks, belts, decorating weapons, and poi. The kurī became extinct in New Zealand some time after the arrival of European settlers. The last known specimens, a female and her pup, are now in the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
The Paisley Terrier was a breed of terrier type dog from Great Britain, bred primarily as a pet and showdog version of the Skye Terrier, and was the progenitor of today's Yorkshire Terrier. The Paisley Terrier was described in 1894 as "an excellent house dog, and most suitable for a lady who wishes something more substantial than a toy", but the care requirements for the coat made it less desirable than some other popular breeds as a pet.
The St. John's Water Dog, also called the St. John's Dog or the Lesser Newfoundland, was a naturally-occurring dog breed from Newfoundland. Little is known of the breeds that went into its creation, although it was likely a random-bred mix of old Irish, English, and Portuguese working breeds. This breed is the ancestor of the modern Retrievers; including the Flat Coated Retriever, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, the Golden Retriever, and the Labrador Retriever. The St. John's Dog was also the founding breed of the large and gentle Newfoundland dog, likely as a result of breeding with mastiffs brought to the island by the generations of Portuguese fishermen who had been fishing offshore since the 15th century. The St. John's dog was made extinct in its homeland by a combination of two factors. In an attempt to encourage sheep raising, heavy restrictions and taxes were placed on dog ownership during the 19th century.
Raised by the Tahltan Natives to hunt bear, the Tahltan Bear Dog was a mighty power in a small package. The Tahltan Bear Dog had the courage to face a bear, but was friendly and gentle with smaller animals and with humans. They lived in the tent with the family, sharing bed and board. Descended from pariah-type dogs that had come with prehistoric migrations, the Tahltan Dogs were centralized in the remote mountainous areas of northwestern British Columbia and the Southern Yukon. Their usual diet was small bits of birds, meat and fish, and they flourished in the bitter cold. Outside their native environment, they succumbed to distemper, heat prostration and problems due to dietary changes. As white explorers came into the territory, bringing a variety of other dogs, the Tahltan Dog became diluted.
Ancient Egyptians gave the name Tesem Tesem ( = tsm) to curly tailed dogs that resembled a sighthound such as a Greyhound. These dogs were featured on monuments, and in wall paintings that showed their tall, lean body with the noticeable prick ears. They had a greyish-yellow coat, with long legs and a broad prominent forehead. Their size exceeded the Pariah dogs of the time. Their structure of their skeleton was closer to the modern terrier than that of the modern greyhound.
The Turnspit Dog was a short-legged, long-bodied dog bred to run on a wheel, called a turnspit or dog wheel, to turn meat so it would cook evenly. It is also known as the Kitchen Dog, the Cooking Dog, the Underdog and the Vernepator. This took both courage (to stand near the fire) and loyalty (not to eat the roast). Due to the strenuous nature of the work, a pair of dogs would often be worked in shifts. This may have led to the proverb 'every dog has his day.' The dogs were also taken to church to serve as foot warmers. Just as the invention of the spinning-jenny abolished the use of distaff and wheel, which were formerly the occupants of every well-ordained English cottage, so the invention of automaton roasting-jacks has destroyed the occupation of the Turnspit Dog, and by degrees has almost annihilated its very existence.

PROVO, Utah — - Brandon Davies had 26 points and 10 rebounds to lead BYU to a 90-71 victory over Mercer in the second round of the NIT on Monday night.
Tyler Haws added 24 points, and Matt Carlino had 18 points and nine assists for the Cougars (23-11).
Travis Smith scored 19 points for Mercer (24-12) and Langston Hall added 15. Smith and Hall combined to hit 8 of 13 3-point attempts.
After Smith's 3-pointer to open the scoring gave the Bears their only lead of the game, the Cougars scored the next 11 points behind two 3s by Carlino. BYU went up 28-11 when Carlino hit the third of his five 3s.
"When you start a game like that it allows you to get a little more aggressive defensively," BYU coach Dave Rose said.
Mercer hit only 3 of 13 shots to open the game but then made 11 of 15. The Bears scored 10 straight to cut the margin to four but trailed 44-35 at the break when Carlino hit another 3-pointer.
"I thought he was really special," Mercer coach Bob Hoffman said of BYU's sophomore point guard. "He took the challenge and was really good. ... I thought he was as good as we've seen anywhere, any time at any place."
A 3-pointer by Hall cut BYU's lead back to four early in the second half, but the Cougars put together a 15-3 spurt to go up 80-63. Combined, Carlino and Brock Zylstra were 9 of 18 on 3s for BYU. Hoffman said BYU's long-range shooting stretched the Bears' defense.
"Our bigs were trying hard, but (Davies) is a talented guy who knows how to get where he wants to get. It's hard to get down in there to guard him when those guys are hitting 35-footers," Hoffman said.
BYU hit 22 of 29 free throws to Mercer's 8 of 14 from the line. The Cougars outrebounded the Bears 43-31.
"We gave them a couple of runs and (the Bears) came right back at us again," Rose said. "That's a sign of a championship team. They don't give up and they don't back down."
The Cougars advance to the quarterfinals to play Southern Mississippi, winners over Louisiana Tech on Monday. Davies, a senior, played his final game at home.
"We're rolling and it's a lot of fun. It's like everyone is dialed in," he said.
Mercer entered the game giving up only 58 points per game. The 90 points BYU scored are the most the Bears have allowed this season.

CASTINE, Maine – Maine Maritime Academy exploded for 34 first half points en route to a 40-7 win over Fitchburg State in the New England Football Conference (NEFC) Bogan Division opener. The Mariners (3-0, 1-0) scored on each of their first five possessions, piling up 316 yards offense in the first half to the delight of the homecoming crowd. The early run on the scoreboard left the Falcons (1-3, 0-1) in a hole they could not escape.
Maine Maritime hit paydirt on its first two possessions in an unusual fashion. Quarterback Matthew Rende (Augusta, Maine) called his own number on third and goal from the three. Jonathon Salvatore (Leominster, Mass.) put a shoulder into the ball which popped up into the air and landed in the hands of Nick Bourassa (Jay, Maine) in the end zone for the early 7-0 lead.
On the next MMA possession, Chris Rose (Gloversville, N.Y.) jarred the ball loose from Bill Wetherbee (Veazie, Maine) at the goal line. Again, the ball popped up into the air, this time finding its way into Nate Duford's (Claremont, N.H.) hands in the end zone to make it a 14-0 game.
Fitchburg State responded driving down to the Mariner's 13, where the Falcons set up for a 30-yard field goal. Wetherbee came untouched off of the edge for the block, giving Maine Maritime possession on its own 21 at the end of the first quarter. Ian Champeon (Dover-Foxcroft, Maine) took the first snap of the second quarter up the right sideline for 79-yards and a touchdown to make it 21-0. Champeon finished with a game-high 126 yards on 12 touches.
The Mariners dusted off the passing game on their next possession, moving 79 yards in four plays. Duford caught a pass from Rende for 28 yards, then on first and 10 from the 37, Rende found him wide open for a walk to the end zone. Rende completed three of his four passes in the game for 93 yards.
Fitchburg went three and out on the ensuing possession, before Michael Burgess (North Yarmouth, Maine) blocked the Falcons' punt to give the Mariners a short field. Rende called his own number four times on the six-play, 28-yard drive. He punched in on the right side from three yards out to give the Mariners a 34-0 break heading into the locker room.
Fitchburg took advantage of the extended halftime to make adjustments on defense, while the Mariners offense helped out with several turnovers in the second half. The Falcons limited Maine Maritime to just 35 yards in the second half.
The Falcons were poised to strike from the Maine Maritime five-yardline to open the second half. Chase Hutchinson (Dover-Foxcroft, Maine) nabbed a Brian McDonald (Westwood, Mass.) pass in the end zone to temporarily thwart the scoring threat. Two plays later, Rende botched a handoff exchange, which was recovered by Fitchburg's Joseph Sasso. McDonald completed a pass to Alexander Morse (Charlemont, Mass.) to set up Steph'fon Teague's (Fitchburg, Mass.) three-yard jaunt into the endzone for the Falcons only score of the game.
McDonald finished the game with 193 yards on 19 completions in 35 attempts. Jeremy Kimber (Fitchburg, Mass.) was on the receiving end of eight passes. He had 84 yards on the afternoon. McDonald was under duress throughout the game. John Regis (Old Orchard Beach, Maine) sacked him three times, while Joel Chadbourne (Westbrook, Maine) got to him once. Alex Hermes (Fallsington, Pa.) recorded eight tackles, broke up a pass, and scored on a 50-yard fumble recovery that resulted in the Mariners' only second half points. It was forced by Chris Brawn (Winslow, Maine). Wade Severance (Hollis Center, Maine) led all tacklers with nine stops. Six were solo stops.
Sean Golden (Uncasville, Conn.) recorded eight tackles, seven solo and forced a fumble for Fitchburg. Sasso had six solo stops, including two for losses, to go with his fumble recovery.
The Mariners return to action next Saturday at Worcester State. Fitchburg State heads home for the first time in three weeks to host the United State Coast Guard Academy.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Rioting between Jews and Arabs in the mixed northern Israel town of Acco lasted for nearly 24 hours, from the start of Yom Kippur until the holy day ended Thursday evening, leaving at least eight people injured and resulting in widespread property damage.
The violence began when a group of Jewish youth stoned at Arab motorist who entered a Jewish neighborhood.
According to witnesses who spoke to Israel National News, the Jewish youth feared they were being targeted by a terrorist since the Arab motorist was driving at high speeds, and had to go through a makeshift roadblock set up to prevent driving in the neighborhood on Yom Kippur in order to reach them.
After attacking the vehicle, the Jewish youth called for aid from neighbors, while the Arab man sought refuge at a relative's house. A rumor that the Arab motorist had been killed by the Jewish youth then quickly spread throughout the town, and local Arabs showed up en masse and began destroying parked cars and stores in the Jewish neighborhood.
Some 700 police officers were deployed throughout the city and eventually restored order.
But Arabs returning to their homes following the main riots reportedly attacked and verbally abused Jewish families not involved in the initial altercation as they made their way to and from synagogues.
The Knesset's Internal Affairs Committee is scheduled to hold an emergency session on Sunday to discuss the riots and how to prevent a repeat in other Israelis towns with mixed Jewish-Arab populations.
Right-wing lawmakers who toured Acco on Friday said that preventing these kinds of incidents will require the state to stop whitewashing the violent, subversive nature of much of the Israeli Arab population.
Speaking to Israel National News, National Union MK Uri Ariel noted that despite the fact that the first act of violence was committed by Jews throwing stones at an Arab motorist, the day deteriorated into widespread rioting because a locally-based Arab MK called for widespread violence in response.
"Arab MK Abbas Zakour who basically instigated the riots. He was one of the first people on the scene, and he made the call for hundreds of Arabs to come to the scene, after which they started destroying cars and stores," said Ariel, who continued that "many Arabs simply do not recognize Israeli sovereignty."
Highlighting what he said was a double standard in the government's treatment of Israel Arab troublemakers, Acco resident Ruby Luzon noted that "The Arabs rioted for hours without the police doing anything. But when the Jews demonstrated, the police used shock guns and other riot-dispersal means."
In related news, young Jewish yeshiva students in Acco and the nearby port city of Haifa repeatedly stoned Magen David Adom ambulances and stations over Yom Kippur. MDA deals with thousands of cases of people fainting, women going into labor and children injured in cycling accidents every Yom Kippur.
Further east in the Wadi Ara area of the Lower Galilee region, some 400 Israeli Arab youths stoned police who were sent to stop them from racing their cars on a local highway, which was empty due to Yom Kippur. Four police officers were wounded before local Arab leaders could be convinced to rein in the youth.

The hunt for clues continuesTwo Sundays ago, we admitted that the crews filming a reality TV show in the Great Falls area last month weren't from CBS' "The Amazing Race," as we had speculated. Beyond that, we were stumped.An unidentified local guy who worked on the project called the newsroom but he had signed some sort of "under pain of death if you talk" contract and provided little new info.Then, the same Internet explorer who set us straight the first time e-mailed to say all signs point to NBC's "Treasure Hunters." The reality show reportedly was cast in April and May, and filming began in August for a springtime premiere.According to the network's Web site, NBC was looking for "unique groups of three to compete for thrills and riches in television's first global treasure hunt" The treasure hunters "will face exciting challenges requiring brains, stamina, passion, and teamwork."The teams will be sent on a global search to solve a puzzle. The first team to uncover all the clues will be told the location of a hidden treasure.Any more clues? Call 791-1491 on Monday or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Last Frontier spent last summer scouting locations on the Matanuska and Knik glaciers and in Hatcher Pass for a new NBC reality series called "Treasure Hunters." The company ferried 150 people daily to shoots on the glaciers.
well they are talking about this article @ tarflies too ..Actually I was thinking could they be filming the NBC series 'TreasureHunters' .. who knows ?stupid reporter not doing his research before writing this </]
FlamingCactusIT 07-19-05, 00:25 AM (EST) 30. "Don't know how credible..." I read on a site, don't know where, that there was something about going to Montana for a visit to Pomp's Pillar (The place that Lewis and Clark engraved their signatures on the expedition), that's outside Billings. The C.M. Russell art museum, that's outside Great Falls, and lastly something about purple sidewalk squares. Don't know what's significant about it, or where that is in Montana.

Greater Hudson Heritage Network Funded Conservation Project
A hand-drawn map by Charles North, made from an early sketch of the frontier village of Buffalo by merchant Juba Storrs in 1813, has been conserved with grant funds from the Greater Hudson Heritage Network for the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library. The map, measuring 26 x 20 inches, shows the locations of the homes and businesses of Buffalo's earliest settlers, including Dr. Cyrenius Chapin, Ebenezer Walden and Seth Grosvenor, prominent figures in the village's later development. The map, done in black ink on paper, shows several blocks of Buffalo's original radial street plan, already initiated by Holland Land Company agent Joseph Ellicott, bordered by today's Washington and Franklin Streets to Chippewa and Exchange Streets.
"This particular map of Buffalo, in 1813 is significant to our city's history," said Library Director Mary Jean Jakubowski. "It was drawn just a few months before the complete destruction of Buffalo in late December 1813 by British troops in retaliation for the Americans' burning of Newark (now called Niagara on the Lake) across the Niagara River. The map is an important record of the frontier village which was devastated. As we know, many of the businesses and citizens returned and rebuilt the village very quickly, setting up this key waterfront community for an even greater history as the terminus of the Erie Canal."
The six-month conservation project was completed by Clarence resident Patricia Hamm of Hammarts, LLC, a nationally recognized conservator. The conserved map will be on special exhibit in the Grosvenor [pronounced "Grove-ner"] Room in commemoration of the bicentennial of the burning of Buffalo this December .
The Grosvenor Room, named in honor of Seth Grosvenor, War of 1812-era merchant and benefactor of the Library's precursor institution, the Grosvenor Library, houses the Rare Books & Special Collections department at the downtown Central branch of the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library at 1 Lafayette Square. Open during regular Library hours, the Grosvenor Room is a popular destination for the Library's outstanding collections of unique, rare and locally significant genealogy, local history, Rare Books, maps, and music materials. To learn more about the Library visit the website at www.buffalolib.org.

As the Cobb County police investigation continues in last week's shooting death of rapper Yung Teddy, authorities have charged a woman with sending him death threats.
Authorities are still seeking the two shooting suspects.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Yachari Kiyana Miller allegedly sent death threats to the rapper via text message saying, "You a dead man walking" and "This your year to die" just 24 hours before he was killed.
The rapper, whose real name is Justin Mitchell, was found dead in his Austell home Wednesday night after tweeting about the death threats.
Published reports show that Miller has been charged with one count of felony terroristic threats and acts, and has been in Cobb County Detention Center since Friday.
Cobb County police say they are still looking for two black male suspects between the ages of 20 and 23.
The first suspect is described as a being between 5'6″ and 5'9″ with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a gray sweater, dark pants and a black beanie hat. He had a handgun.
The second suspect is described as a black man between 5'4″ and 5'6″. He had a navy blue bandana covering his face and was wearing a multicolored beanie hat.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to call Cobb County police at (770) 499-3945.

"Madness is rare in individuals, but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Environmental Banking
Exclusive to STR
December 5, 2008
When someone runs for office under a promise of fiscal reform, the office seeker may try to grab some press by throwing out big budget cut numbers.
Once the numbers make a big splash, the cuts may turn out to be in the category of 'waste, fraud, and abuse,' whereupon everybody rolls their eyes. We've heard this one before.
No doubt there's plenty of waste, fraud and abuse, but is this genius who's just discovered the concept of cutting it from government budgets really going to outdo the hundreds of predecessor geniuses who said the same thing, and then watched it all grow again while nurturing their own pet budget items? It's not that easy.
As a matter of fact, it is that easy. There's a simple, structural way to cut waste, fraud and abuse, not just at every level of government, but in every corporation, big or small, in every industry, politically connected or otherwise, and indeed, in the budget of every individual person, rich or poor.
The magic bullet is bank reform, and the beast to be slain is artificial credit creation (artificial in that it's created wholly from bookkeeping entries of central banks and commercial banks, not from real savings).
Take a look at a couple of modern day financial bubbles--always credit fueled-- Japanese real estate, the Internet bubble, the U.S. housing bubble. We're clearly talking about trillions of dollars of wasted resources (with plentiful enablement of fraud and abuse built in).
If this credit had never been born, we could almost picture the environmental backwards film: Strip mines filling themselves in, forests jumping back to life, smokestacks sucking back pollutants.
Think of the fuel that was used for billions of trips and commutes, the electricity, office supplies, computers, communication equipment, new construction, building customizations, and trash haul aways, the unneeded businesses, to support other businesses that support businesses, and all, in the iconic Internet bubble example of Pets.com, amounting only to the fruitless, temporary support of a sock puppet.
To all the above, staggering as it is, we need to add another layer from decades of excessive consumer credit, and the consequent misjudgment of the level of consumerism that society can currently support--again an illusion that would not have been possible without artificially created credit.
I was struck by this vignette of excess from Satyajit Das's Traders, Guns, and Money: 'A colleague ' Chris, the head of hedge fund sales ' was recently divorced. He began to travel frequently to Paris for business meetings. It turned out he travelled to have his laundry done. He did not know how to use the washing machine and liked the way the H'tel Plaza Ath'n'e in Paris did his shirts.'
Any society with division of labor will have parallel stories of excess, but usually limited to a handful of those directly in the ruling class, or perhaps in the actual owners of large businesses, not in the upper echelons of the 'laborers,' as in this story. (It seems telling that in contemporary America we get stories like this exactly where the credit creation rubber meets the economic road.)
And of course, there really is such a thing as trickle down. If you've taken a recent look (like I have), at your personal budget and purchasing patterns in light of the seemingly unstoppable march of economic uncertainty, you may be wishing (as I do), that you could have back some of the purchasing power you took for granted in past years--money used to replace a cool item with a slightly cooler item, an extra purchase of this or that because the price seemed right, the little luxuries that you deserved, because you work hard.
A healthy society probably has no way to avoid some small percent of conspicuous consumers, and perhaps a little envy and modest emulation from many of those quite humanly wishing to join the fortunate few. If this 'waste' comes from real savings, then any harm will be less than what society would get from a habit of trying to make subjective, top-down judgments to force people away from their personal assessments of what is or is not an acceptable level of profligacy.
However, we've had very significant waste that's risen above the level of any possible subjectivity, and with a clear first cause of artificial credit 'created out of thin air.'
The efforts of policymakers, and particularly of the Federal Reserve, to give businesses and consumers a positive economic outlook and keep them borrowing and spending have, in the past, worked, but only as the confidence game that they always were--ultimately these careless policies had to get to where they were always headed, to the destruction, not the creation, of wealth.
Corporations spent their potential, not on creating real efficiencies and innovations, but on frantically buying each other up and financial engineering-- neglecting core business in favor of debt enabled breadth and mass in preparation for imaginary future growth.
And at least some of us who've been buying a new luxury car every other year, should (in the absence of excessive credit), have been duct taping patches on the tail lights of our ten year old sub-compacts instead.
All of this may sound like just a little too much dismalness from the dismal science, but if we could decide to refrain from ramping the leverage back up again, I think that most of us would handle it with a sense of relief.
Leverage is a giant fog. Who knows what we actually have or can actually do with this kind of borrowing? It makes it impossible for us to talk to each other about anything--certainly not subjects like entitlements or sustainability or taxes.
If we decide to get rid of central banking altogether, and replace it with a simple system of 100% bank reserving, where every loan must come from the use of someone's real savings, then the 'small footprints' that environmentalists have vainly exhorted us toward could get a second channel of support.
And who knows? Maybe if we can clear away the fog of debt to sensibly concentrate on real business and science, we'll find that we can sustainably afford medium size footprints after all.
