Update on the Economy: End of August 2009
Since we began this column at the beginning of February 2009, we have tracked a number of different topics, all of which impact economic growth and our personal financial health: credit card debt, employment levels, the housing market, government stimulus packages, and various investment vehicles to name a few. As we approach the first anniversary of the visible signs of the recession which firmly took hold last September, its time to take a look forward and attempt to anticipate what to expect in the weeks and months ahead. As always, the comments in this article are my personal opinions, and my objective is to offer food for thought in making the important financial decisions which impact each of us and our families.
In recent weeks a few of the various economic indicators have provided some signs of progress in defeating the effects of the current recession. The stock market indicators have all been positive, housing prices have inched up compared to prices in the previous months, and retail sales have stabilized after many months of stagnation or decline. While there has been very positive financial press regarding turning the corner on the economic crisis, and the worst of the recession is over, it is very important to look for continuing signs of improvement before concluding that we have returned to business as usual. Specifically, the employment data and the Federal budget deficits continue to be of major concern.
Employment Data
The chart above tracks job losses in the 1990 recession, the 2001 recession, and the current recession. While the data in the chart shows current recession job losses heading to 4 million, we have actually exceeded 6 million job losses since December 2007 when this recession began. The next scheduled report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics is on September 4, 2009. The expectation is for job losses to continue, however hopefully at a declining rate per month. Our economy grows through the creation of new jobs, and through increased productivity. You may note in the above chart that in previous recessions job losses leveled out more quickly than they have this time, which gives me added cause for concern. We can see that there has been no new job creation for many months, and there is none anticipated in the near future.
Interestingly, in recent months productivity reports have shown month over month improvements as more and more people perhaps fear the possibility of losing their jobs and have stepped up individual efforts. While productivity levels are very important, they cannot carry the burden and we need to see job creation return before we will see lasting economic growth.
Federal Deficits
The Federal budget faces huge deficits for the 2009-2010 fiscal year as a result of the economic stimulus package, the bail out of banks and brokerage houses, and the continuing uncertainty regarding the costs of these efforts. The estimate as of this writing is for a $1.6 trillion deficit this year. Remember, the deficit is the amount by which we have increased the national debt during one fiscal period, and the national debt is the total amount we owe to creditors who have purchased the bonds we sell to raise the money we spend. Unfortunately, our total national debt has passed the $11 trillion mark. Of additional concern is the fact that nearly half of our debt, 48%, is owned by foreign entities with China alone holding 11%.
With such a large portion of our debt in foreign hands, we need to be very conscious of interest rate levels. This is because the foreigners who own the debt are also investors, seeking the greatest return on investment. Therefore, if interest rates become more attractive in other markets such as Europe or Asia, these foreign investors could decide to sell our debt and purchase investments elsewhere. This of course would mean that rates would have to rise to the level that would be attractive for investors to step in and buy our debt. Currently interest rates are very low; driven to these levels artificially by the FED to help sustain the economy during the financial crisis. My opinion is that rates cannot go much lower because we cannot risk losing the foreign investors who hold our debt.
Current Picture
Taking all of the economic indicators into consideration, we have a mixed picture going forward. Some improvement in housing prices and stock market performance; and some concern regarding unemployment and job losses, and with government spending levels that have sent our national debt to new record levels. The result in my opinion is that we need to remain cautious regarding personal finances. Much depends on our individual situations: if we are near retirement and have little flexibility we need to remain in more conservative investments which preserve capital and allow us to plan more accurately; if we have many years until retirement we can selectively choose investments with greater risk parameters (such as stocks & real estate), because we have time on our side; if we are looking to provide college savings or to secure a down payment for a home, that again calls for a more conservative approach.
There are always opportunities to invest. During the Great Depression there were stocks that actually went up in value and there was real estate that performed very well. Thorough investigation of the alternatives and defining our threshold for risk will help to choose the best alternatives.

Faculty use their disciplinary expertise as well as the mission of their program to guide development of student learning goals. These goals form the foundation of an academic program and determine which educational opportunities should be provided to students. Goals encompass the knowledge, skills, attitudes, dispositions, aspirations and behaviors that faculty expect their students to have developed upon completion of program requirements.
What, specifically, will students know or be able to do as a result of participating in learning activities? These outcomes are outlined in course objectives. Course objectives are aligned with program goals but are more specific and concrete (i.e., defined in a way that makes them measurable). Course objectives are also sometimes called outcomes, competencies, aims, learning objectives or performance objectives.
* Broad: Students will demonstrate knowledge of the history, literature and function of the theater, including works from various periods and cultures.
* More specific: Students will be able to explain the theoretical bases of various dramatic genres and illustrate them with examples from plays of different eras.
* Even more specific, specifying the conditions: During the senior dramatic literature course, the students will be able to explain the theoretical bases of various dramatic genres and illustrate them with examples from plays of different eras.
* Broad: The student will be able to discuss philosophical questions.
* More specific: The student is able to develop relevant examples and to express the significance of philosophical questions using appropriate analytical frameworks.
General Education
* Broad: Students will be able to think in an interdisciplinary manner.
* More specific: Asked to solve a problem in the student's field, the student will be able to draw from theories, principles, and/or knowledge from other disciplines to help solve the problem.
* Broad: Students will understand how to use technology effectively.
* More specific: Each student will be able to use word processing, spreadsheets, databases, and presentations graphics in preparing their final research project and report.
* Broad: Students will understand the historically important systems of psychology.
* More specific: Students will understand the psychoanalytic, Gestalt, behaviorist, humanistic, and cognitive approaches to psychology.
* Even more specific: Students will be able to recognize and articulate the foundational assumptions, central ideas, and dominant criticisms of the psychoanalytic, Gestalt, behaviorist, humanistic, and cognitive approaches to psychology.

Getting Started & Staying on Track
- Before you begin, count the costs. (Luke 14:28-33) Remember that homeschooling is a major lifestyle change that requires a great deal of commitment. It will impact every area of your life: your home environment, your church and community involvement, your leisure time, your financial condition, your social life, your children's friendships, your home-making efforts, your relationships with your spouse and your children, and on and on. Ask yourself these questions: Are you willing to accept, along with the joys and blessings, the limitations and sacrifices inherent in the homeschooling lifestyle? Are you willing to step by faith, in submission and obedience to God, into the adventure of home education, trusting in the Lord to meet all of your needs?
- Lay a good foundation. (Matthew 7:24-27) If you want your home education efforts to stand in the face of storms of adversity that are sure to come, you must build upon the solid rock foundation of God and His Word. Be certain to have a quiet time with God - reading from His Holy Word and communing with Him in prayer - every day. This is vital! Bible study is also the first subject in our homeschooling day. We've tried other times, but this arrangement seems to start us off right.
- Prioritize your time - Tackle your schedule. Reevaluate your commitments outside the home. Consider that homeschooling and homemaking are two full-time jobs
- Keep your expectations of what you can accomplish realistic. Allow the Master Gardener to prune your commitments to allow for the fruit production He wills for you. Learn to say, "I'll get back to you" or "let me talk to my husband about that," before taking on any new commitment. The Lord has given you a protective head in your husband. Allow him to advise and direct you on any additions/changes in your commitments.
- Identify and eliminate those nasty time stealers that can wreck havoc in your schooling efforts: telephone calls (use an answering machine), drop-in visitors (put a sign on the door during school time), lack of needed supplies/materials (inventory and order supplies and materials before the school year begins and periodically throughout the year). Design a storage area near where you work with your children and stock it with all the supplies and books you regularly use. If available storage space is limited, be creative with storage boxes, stackable bins, etc. Have your supplies in order and near where you'll need them. Unfinished tasks distract from your efforts, both physically and emotionally. Tidy up the house before you go to bed at night to avoid the "What A Mess- Where Do I Begin?" morning blahs. Plan for a period every morning before school of house preparation time in which each child has specific duties such as starting a load of laundry, doing the dishes, etc.
- Make this your motto: "Do the next thing next!" Don't let the next thing overwhelm you - just do the next thing that needs to be done. Another great motto: "Do it now!" Make a habit, if possible, to deal with things as they come up.
- Set a weekly time for personal planning. Use school schedules, menu plans, grocery lists, job assignments, appointments, etc. Use a master calendar to plot and coordinate your planning efforts. Try to plan as many of your activities ahead as possible - errands, appointments, phone calls, devotions, teaching times, family reading times, field trips, support group activities, vacations, etc. Make sure to plan other things around your home educating efforts, and not the other way around! You don't need to be rigid and inflexible, but try to remember that home education is a priority, not an afterthought.
- Establish routines - not as your master, but as your tools. Routines can eliminate confusion, energize your home, and teach your children to be responsible, independent individuals. Routines take time and effort to establish, but once they are in place, they can become anchors to stabilize both your day and that of your children. Any re-occurring event should be cultivated into a routine (e.g. school schedules, meal or bed times, etc.) Use trigger events or times to initiate routines: "When you are finished with breakfast, it is your responsibility to feed the pets and put a load of laundry in the washer." Use deadlines, with advance warning, if needed, to make sure the assigned jobs are completed: "All outside toys must be put away in their proper places before supper. I'll call you with a warning 15 minutes before supper is ready."
- When designing routines, consider these points: Communicate what is expected and what consequences will result if assigned responsibilities are not met. Begin at an early age to include your children in family routines. Even toddlers can do simple chores - especially those right along side Mom. Your goal should be that your children become masters of their own routines.
- Watch out for this: Mom is working and everyone else is recreating. You are only cheating your children if this is occurring. Have your children work along side of you when teaching them how to do new jobs. If you have more than one child, make sure you don't fall into the trap of training the older ones, relying too much on their proven abilities, and then neglect to pass jobs and responsibilities on to the younger ones. School routines are important to establish, too. Home educators can inadvertently foster "learned helplessness" when independent routines and learning projects are not established. Children are more confident and responsible when they have secure school routines, and there is less confusion and need for micro management. Special project days and/or field trips can be part of the school routine, and surprises and rewards can be sprinkled in if desired. Routines don't just happen - they take time and great effort to establish. If orderliness is not one of your strong points, set your goals on a small scale. Begin with a regularly scheduled Bible study time with your children, or perhaps just a regular starting time for school (!) - whatever it takes to set some order to your day.

I am sorry but most of the diet stuff that is out there is such complete garbage.
I will concede that good fruits, vegetables, and coffee are good ideas. After that, much of what comes out of the government as it pertains to dietary recommendations is BS and the direct result of lobbying.

SPARKS — The summer heat has officially settled in the region, and with it comes the perils of dehydration, sunburns and overexertion.
But while most people are just starting to get accustomed to the shift in temperature, it is important to remember our four-legged companions require adjustments to their routines as well.
Dr. Judson Pierce, who has been a veterinarian in the area since 1964, took time out of his schedule Monday at the Reno Animal Hospital to highlight the numerous hazards dogs face this time of year.
Pierce warned how short-nosed breeds are exceptionally susceptible to overheating during the summer. Because of their soft palates, pugs, Boston terriers and other dogs can get too hot and have trouble breathing during the summer. Pierce said older dogs and those with longer hair also are in danger of becoming too hot.
"When dogs get old, weather changes become difficult for them to handle," Pierce said.
Among some other concerns Pierce had were dogs who haven't exercised in a while being overworked, resulting in either heat exhaustion or the pads on the bottoms of their feet wearing off.
"When they're not used and they overdo it, dogs will be right down to the blood with their pads," said Pierce, who has already treated four dogs this season with burns on their pads from walking on hot cement.
Pierce's final warning — to be careful of foxtails — also was mentioned by veterinarian John Crumley at Baring Boulevard Veterinary Hospital. Crumley said his hospital has already seen 15 cases of animals with foxtails caught in their skin this summer.
Although he touched on problems dogs face in the heat, Crumley's recommendations were geared more toward cat owners. Before suggesting how to keep cats safe this time of year, however, Crumley noted that indoor cats on average live twice as long as cats who spend their time outdoors.
For those that do live outside, Crumley said having slip-away collars can help cats escape if they get caught on a tree or branch. Another suggestion was having a patio area wrapped in chicken wire for your cat to play, satisfying their desire to explore without them venturing too far away.
Finally, both veterinarians recommended checking your pet's water bowl frequently and making sure they have plenty of shade to retreat to when the sun's warmth becomes overwhelming.

Google Sends Street View To Post-Sandy Staten Island
By Neal Ungerleider [2]|
March 13, 2014
Google's Street View cars are photographing hurricane-hit neighborhoods in New York, drawing local ire.
Google dispatched a Street View car [3] to a hurricane-ravaged Staten Island neighborhood on Thursday, and local residents are concerned that post-hurricane Street View mapping could negatively impact property values. New York Post reporters Dana Sauchelli and Dan MacLeod found the Google car in New Dorp Beach [4], one of the hardest-hit parts of New York City. One home caught on camera is currently the subject of a high-profile lawsuit [5] after Allstate used the building in an advertisement despite denying the residents' wind damage claim.
"The Street View team is currently redriving affected areas of New York City […] We hope this accurate, updated imagery that will soon be available in Google Maps will help people around the world better understand the extent of the damage and the importance of coming together as a community to aid in the recovery efforts," a Google representative told the Post. Google has recently begun expanding Street View to indoor locations [6] and coral reefs [7].

Located in the McCarran Plaza shopping center on the corner of McCarran Boulevard and Prater Way, Spudistro opened its doors more than a year and a half ago. Three women have partnered to keep the ideas fresh at the potato-based café.
"It's about as close to a mom and pop shop as you can get," said partner Chris Lopez. "Except pop stays at home."
Lopez, her mother, Carol, and friend Denise Helmstetler opened the café when they decided it was time for a new type of food. Lopez said they came up with the idea for Spudistro when they saw children eating large baked potatoes at the L.A. County fair and thought it was a healthy alternative to fast food.
"We said, 'I'm tired of the same old food,' " Lopez said. "Here, we don't use any frozen or canned vegetables and we don't use bagged lettuce."
Lopez explained that part of the business approach to Spudistro is the urge to limit waste, which starts with fresh veggies.
"All of our produce is Nevada-based," Lopez explained. "We get our potatoes from Winnemucca."
Lopez said that Spudistro tries to use all locally grown produce but if the café owners cannot get what they need, they will resort to using local wholesalers. She said with recent the weather crisis in the Midwest, buying local will help keep costs down since the ruined crops and limited supply caused by floods will send produce prices skyrocketing. In addition to local produce, Lopez and crew use local dairy products from Model Dairy.
"We go to the store every day and hand pick our produce," Lopez said.
She explained that buying only what will be used each day helps eliminate food waste. Predicting what customers will buy each day can be difficult, what with a diverse menu of baked potatoes, potato cheddar soup, potato nachos and a variety of desserts.
"We try and cater to a bunch of different groups," Lopez said, explaining that the menu caters to carnivores, vegetarians and vegans alike.
Lopez said that before opening the café, they had more than 50 ideas for the baked potato menu, a number that has since been whittled down to 19. She said that the Ponderosa is a hot seller. The potato is loaded with sirloin steak, sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese, but is not a wallet buster at only $7.50.
Spudistro is more than just baked potatoes. The menu includes a full selection of salads, wraps and desserts.
"Usually people can get out of here for less than $10," Lopez said. "We try to keep it reasonable."
Lopez said that Spudistro is an original concept and the three partners have no intention of franchising anytime soon, but she hopes that the future will include a few more Spudistros in the region.
"It's really not a restaurant but it's not fast food," Lopez said. "People come up and order but we clean the tables."
As part of the not-quite-fast food and not-quite-restaurant experience, Lopez encourages costumers, many of whom are familiar faces, to call orders in before getting to Spudistro.
"We try to give everyone as close of a restaurant experience that they can get," Lopez said. "They can come here, order and enjoy their meal."
It doesn't take long to make a meal and Spudistro and is a great place to grab lunch. Most people can be in and out in less than an hour.
Lopez contributes Spudistro's success to the Sparks community.
"We've had a really great response from the community," Lopez said. "Sparks is very supportive."

'This is truly an historic day. Today, the House of Representatives will consider and hopefully pass - for the first time - the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA. As someone who has looked forward to this day for the 20 years that I have served in Congress, it is a joyous occasion.
'It simply would not have been possible without the outstanding leadership and courage of Chairman Barney Frank and of Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin. Anyone who cares about a country without discrimination is deeply in debt to Tammy Baldwin and to Barney Frank for their leadership in this regard.
'While ENDA's victory will represent an historic victory, I share the disappointment of Tammy Baldwin and Barney Frank and others who support including protections for transgender individuals in ENDA. While I had hoped that we could have included gender identity, I support final passage of ENDA because its passage will build momentum for further advances on gender identity rights and the rights of all Americans.
'History teaches us that progress on civil rights is never easy. It is often marked by small and difficult steps. We must take this step today toward the ideal of equality that is both our heritage and our hope.
'I've heard the use of the word 'tolerance' today and I respect the use of that word. But if I may respectfully depart from it and say that in my community, which is blessed with a large, diverse community, our diversity is of all kinds - religion, gender identification, religious faith and the rest, and I always say that the beauty is in the mix. And it's not that we're tolerant in my district, in

A limping Chuck Wicks laughed off an injury Wednesday morning as he took a stage in the lobby of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum to sing four songs and welcome a contingent of fans to Nashville. Chuck, Chris Young, Joey + Rory and Love and Theft took part in the third annual GAC Fan Breakfast, an adjunct event to the CMA Music Festival, which officially began with a parade just a few hours later. It wasn't Chuck's first public moment of the week. He took part Monday in the City of Hope Celebrity Softball Challenge, joining Joe Nichols, David Nail, Vince Gill and others on the "After Midnite With Blair Garner" team, which defeated the Grand Ole Opry squad 15-10. Chuck unfortunately got a raspberry chasing a ball, and the wound still stung Wednesday a.m., explaining his hobbling entrance at the Hall of Fame. Read More

What you eat could be making you sick. Dr. Kathy Phan of Greene Family Medicine says she's seeing a lot of cases of food poisoning.
Symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and fever. Symptoms generally start within one week of food exposure and tend to impact people with weakened immune systems.
Dr. Phan says people are considered contagious until vomiting and diarrhea have resolved.
Food poisoning generally improves on its own with a bland diet, water hydration and rest. However, patients should seek medical attention if there is fever, severe abdominal pain, inability to eat or drink or bloody diarrhea.
Dr. Phan says there are several things you can do to prevent food poisoning. She says you shouldn't drink unpasteurized milk, always wash hands, knives and cutting boards after handling uncooked food to avoid cross contamination.
You should also refrigerate foods properly and refrain from leaving thoroughly cooked foods out on counters for more than two hours.

Mon-Sat 11pm-10pm
Sun 3pm-10pm
Great Sushi – We have been eating here for years. They have an awesome selection of fish, their Uni is matched by none, We like to sit at the Sushi bar for the extra treats.
Ordering a beer, saki or anything else off the menu can take forever and it seems like that portion of the order is wrong.
If you are looking for great sushi though, it is the place to go.
Great Japanese food almost authentic – I have been going to Akasaka since the early '90s and it is still my Japanese restaurant of choice. I have been to Japan over 3 times and Akasaka has one of the closest to Authentic tastes. The donkatsu (pork cutlet) with sauce is very filling and satisfying to the palate. The sushi of any kinds, especially rolls are not filled with junk, but good quality fish and vegetables. If ordering the Korean food, the free appetizers/side dishes are the best of any Korean restaurant statewide. The Japanese appetizers, on the other hand, are not as authentic as hoped for. They are relatively okay, but very pricey. Overall, I would say stop by about 3 times a month and you'll be happy.
Awesome sushi and great Korean BBQ – The food was really good. I had both the Korean and Japanese. The Korean was a little more expensive that what I'm used to, but nonetheless it was still great. Sushi was decently priced and was very fresh. Definitely recommend you to try it :)
Very Slow Service – I went here for the first time on my birthday. Me and some of my friends went there this past Saturday. We waited for about 20 minutes just order some drinks and appetizers. Infact, I had to go out and ask that a waitress be sent to our section. Then we waited about another 15 minutes before the drinks even came out to us. The dinner took about 30 minutes or more to come out after the already long wait on the drinks appetizers. One of my friends only order was California Rolls. Her's was the last thing to come of the kitchen. Everyone elses dinners was coming out here and there. Finally almost an hour later, then her California rolls comes out. Thats just way to long of a wait for California Rolls. The food was alright, it definitely was not good enough to make me forget about the LONG wait. I would not recommend going there unless you have a lot of time and don't mind being forgotten.
Yuummmm – I have driven by this place a couple of times and curiosity finally won me over.
The service - we were seated promptly and our waitress was pleasant and helpful. The people are friendly and willing to assist you questions.
The food - the sushi is fresh and delightful. The food portions for their entrees are big enough to be shared between two people or take home for later. I had the seafood Yaki Soba and I couldn't finish it all. There is even a large fish tank with a variety of shellfishes and eels in the middle of the restaurant.
The atmosphere - calm and relaxing (since we came before the dinner rush). The tatami rooms are very nice and great for large parties.
been going here for years – always good, fresh and a good value... We have been going since it opened years ago across the street (80's!!). We used to live in Tacoma and would make the drive for the sushi. Now we live in Seattle but go whenever the opportunity arises. Lee still remembers us after all these years....
One of Puget Sound's best Japanese/Korean Restaurants – I have to take some exception with one of the earlier reviews - I've been going to Akasaka for years and have had more than my share of sake there - I've never had a watered-down sake nor have I been charged $17 unless it was premium sake (which is special order not the house sake) a large sake here is the same as any place I've been. Chalk it up to confusion I guess.
This is one of the best Sushi restaraunts in Puget Sound and you will have a very tough time finding the quality and variety of fish for the price anywhere. Lee and his wife do a fantastic job and having lived and dined in Puget sound for 20 years (and been to most of the Japanese Restaurants in the region) this is THE best kept secret in the region.
Whether you are there for traditional Japanese or Korean fare; dining at the (typically crowded) sushi bar or in one of the intimate tatami rooms Akasaka will quickly become a favorite - just ask some of the regulars at the sushi bar how far they travelled to get there.
we won't go back – inconsistancy in prices , watch out for your prices please, you do the math youself , don't order until you know the price. Inconsistancy with servings sizes shushi / sashimi meat slices were so paper thin that we had to stop going there. There are many other Sushi restaurants that give better quanity for your dollar. my famly and friends noticed the difference and we have all stopped going their. Seeing the difference at other Sushi Restaurants ; for the money makes me want to kick myself for going there for years and being too lazy for find other up standing Sushi Restaurants. We have gone to several other restaurants mainly in or near downtown Seattle and haven't had any regrets. Staff usally friendly, expecially if your asian person.
Editorial Review – Federal Way Japanese and Korean restaurant specializes in sushi; sit at the bar or in a private Japanese-inspired tatami room.
unique restaurant with Korean and Japanese style~ – We dined there on Wed. night, it wasn't crowded, but the selelction was interesting. The restuarnt offers japanese sushi sashimi, and Korean style tofu soup. Both sushi, sahimi and korean BBQ and tofu soup was very nice. It wasn't pricy; and you can get so full just by having their varieties of appetizer. Their appetizer was very nice too, and you can refill it for more.

She doesn't mean cats, themselves, necessarily, though we are wrestling with end-of-life, quality-of-life issues (his and ours) for dear old Tonapaw, who is at least 17 human years old: skinny, stiff, irascible—prone to what the vet calls "inappropriate vocalization." He yells a lot. It's apparently a sign of kitty dementia.
No, Ellen means write about what's in your lap. Right now. Where do your thoughts go when you're not monitoring them, when you're not on guard, at work, or in public?
Right now, it's snow. We woke up this morning and we couldn't see the car. We know it's there inside that lump, we just can't see it. It's like an Iditarod sled dog asleep, curled up inside a snow dome of the night's making.
Finally, yes, a Colona storm to match the big ones that have swept across to our south. Or the ones lately riding the split jet to the north and gracing Steamboat and Powderhorn.
The irony of this is we're leaving tomorrow for Utah. Where it hasn't been snowing so much.
This reminds me of the cardinal rule when I was growing up on the coast of southern California: Never leave good waves to go looking for good waves. Never leave good snow in search of good snow.
We're going anyway. Jimmy and Gina already have their plane tickets from Florida. The cousins in Salt Lake City have already set out the guest mattress in the living room. Ellen's already shopped for the cheeses and crackers and nuts and pomegranate juice that we're contributing to the communal larder. I've already waxed the skis.
We haven't seen these guys in a long time. We're going to have fun no matter what the snow is like. And chances are the snow at Alta will be stellar. Alta is like Trestles. Trestles has all the gifts: a stable rock reef created and maintained by the outflow from San Mateo Creek; a subtle, sandy point to the north around which the waves wrap (President's Point we called it during the years Nixon occupied a cliff-top mansion); and direct exposure to storm swells from many directions.
Alta is similarly blessed. It sits at the top of the Wasatch Range, on the wet western side. Little Cottonwood Canyon funnels moisture up to Alta's sudden, closed end, where the clouds linger, and linger. Productive storms can come from both the northwest and the southwest, and some of them pick up added moisture from the Great Salt Lake.
I think it's easier these days to predict where and when good surf will hit. Especially now with satellite pictures and real-time information from deep-ocean buoys on wave height, period and direction. The ocean, for all its vastness, is a comparatively smooth pond across which energy travels in predictable ways. The pros can punch up their laptops and buy their airplane tickets to meet a swell the very next day in northern California or Tahiti.
Snow in the mountains is less predictable. It's the vertical thing. Winds to 40,000 feet. The volatile 3-D mix of moisture and temperature and terrain. I joked with Jimmy on the phone this morning about changing their reservations and coming here instead, here where the snow is happening deep and now. "Aw," Jimmy said wistfully, "if we were 25 again and flexible enough to follow the snow."
But we're geezers. This will be the first time we've skied together since I've had both my hips replaced. It'll be Jimmy's first turns on his new knee. We're nervous as cats. Excited to all be together again and go sliding down one of our favorite hills.
We are stiffer than we used to be, skinny and irascible, and when we get up on that mountain, we are going to yell. A lot.

10 Things That Every American Should Know About The Federal Reserve0
Source: http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com
What would happen if the Federal Reserve was shut down permanently? That is a question that CNBC asked recently, but unfortunately most Americans don't really think about the Fed much. Most Americans are content with believing that the Federal Reserve is just another stuffy government agency that sets our interest rates and that is watching out for the best interests of the American people. But that is not the case at all. The truth is that the Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel that has been designed to systematically destroy the value of our currency, drain the wealth of the American public and enslave the federal government to perpetually expanding debt. During this election year, the economy is the number one issue that voters are concerned about. But instead of endlessly blaming both political parties, the truth is that most of the blame should be placed at the feet of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has more power over the performance of the U.S. economy than anyone else does. The Federal Reserve controls the money supply, the Federal Reserve sets the interest rates and the Federal Reserve hands out bailouts to the big banks that absolutely dwarf anything that Congress ever did. If the American people are ever going to learn what is really going on with our economy, then it is absolutely imperative that they get educated about the Federal Reserve.
The following are 10 things that every American should know about the Federal Reserve….
#1 The Federal Reserve System Is A Privately Owned Banking Cartel
The Federal Reserve is not a government agency.
The truth is that it is a privately owned central bank. It is owned by the banks that are members of the Federal Reserve system. We do not know how much of the system each bank owns, because that has never been disclosed to the American people.
The Federal Reserve openly admits that it is privately owned. When it was defending itself against a Bloomberg request for information under the Freedom of Information Act, the Federal Reserve stated unequivocally in court that it was "not an agency" of the federal government and therefore not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
In fact, if you want to find out that the Federal Reserve system is owned by the member banks, all you have to do is go to the Federal Reserve website….
The twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks, which were established by Congress as the operating arms of the nation's central banking system, are organized much like private corporations–possibly leading to some confusion about "ownership." For example, the Reserve Banks issue shares of stock to member banks. However, owning Reserve Bank stock is quite different from owning stock in a private company. The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. The stock may not be sold, traded, or pledged as security for a loan; dividends are, by law, 6 percent per year.
Foreign governments and foreign banks do own significant ownership interests in the member banks that own the Federal Reserve system. So it would be accurate to say that the Federal Reserve is partially foreign-owned.
But until the exact ownership shares of the Federal Reserve are revealed, we will never know to what extent the Fed is foreign-owned.

Smart Investor: how has Whitbread performed?
Almost a year ago Smart Investor gave a cautious nod to Whitbread (chief executive Andy Harrison is pictured). How has it fared since then?
Among all the business chatter that is banded about, there is probably only one maxim that I like to apply to investing: under promise and over deliver. Over the years it has served me well as I have rarely expected too much from my investments.
This not only means I am pleasantly surprised at least some of the time, but also that I am forced to be extremely patient when portfolio profits are sluggish, which helps me to keep animal emotions at bay.
This has proved to be extremely useful over the past year or so, as the stock market has struggled to tread water.
Looking back on Whitbread's performance
Looking back on an article I wrote on 22 July provides evidence of the above. The article was on FTSE 100-listed Whitbread (WTB.L), and I stated that the company 'should be viewed as a relatively attractive investment'. However, I ended by saying 'just don't expect too much'. So, how has it performed over the past year or so? Was I being too cautious?
The simple answer to the first question is 'very well'. The answer to the second question is 'yes'!
When the article was written, Whitbread was trading at £15.74, with the FTSE 100 at the heady heights of 5,935. Since then, Whitbread has performed extremely well, and is now selling for £19.96 per share. This is a gain of 26.8% and, when dividends of 51.25p per share are added to this capital gain, the total return from Whitbread is 30%.
This compares very favourably to the FTSE 100, which has fallen to its current level of 5,475. This is a fall of 7.75%, but when a yield of 3.5% is added, this improves to a loss of 4.25%. Clearly, Whitbread has hugely outperformed its index.
Buy, sell or hold?
In terms of performance, Whitbread had a successful year to 1 March 2012. Net profit increased from £222 million in 2011 to £266 million in 2012. This gives a return on equity of 20.7% and, as I stated in the previous article, this is made all the more impressive when the company's low level of financial gearing is taken into account. The company's debt-to-equity ratio remains at just 42%, with interest cover still very strong.
As for an economic moat, this remains largely intact, with free cash flow and a dividend yield of 2.6% being a tad disappointing. As with last year, operating cash flow is ravaged by huge capital expenditure and, although dividends were increased by 15.1% versus last year, this still equates to a payout ratio of just 34%.
Moving on to value, this is where Whitbread again entices but does not prove to be exceptionally attractive: it does not scream value. A price-to-earnings ratio of 13.2 is not expensive (especially when the company's viability and performance are taken into account), and a price-to-book ratio of 2.98 is higher than last year's 2.38.
Therefore, I must come to a similar conclusion to last year. Whitbread should be viewed as a relatively attractive investment; just don't expect too much. Of course under promising is easy – let's hope it continues to over deliver.
1 comment so far. Why not have your say?
Jun 29, 2012 at 09:26
Fair do's. The shares have performed well during the past year, and would have provided an even better investment if held for three years, but if you look at the chart for five years it tells a different story. In fact the share price is only back to where it was in 2007 before the credit crunch, which leads me to the conclusion that the shares were oversold and are now back to fair value.
Whitbread is heavily dependent on business travellers; if the economic forecast is anything to go by this customer sector is not likely to grow significantly during the next twelve months, although falling fuel costs will be an ameliorating factor.
I rate the shares a "hold" but are sensitive to price swings in the FTSE 100
The outlook for stockmarkets in general is too uncertain for me to take the plunge at the moment, but I will add the stock to my watch list along with the likes of Associated British Food.report this

I know this is not the typical post on these boards, but I have learned today about the mass shooting at an elementary school where several deaths have been reported. I pray that all of you are holding your children tight tonight and have not been affected by the disgusting act carried out early this morning. My prayers go out to those parents and families that have lost their precious little ones.... Anyway i just wanted to touch the subject and send out some much needed love and prayers for those affected.
Yes Brinny, you are absolutely right. As mothers, we are all touched by such horrific incidents across the country. I wept yesterday when I heard the news, as did many of you I am sure. I will keep the children and their families in my prayers--they have a difficult road ahead of them as they try to piece together their lives and try to make sense of something so horrible. If anyone here on the message boards is struggling or affected by the Connecticut tragedy, please reach out to us---we are all here to support you.
Well said ladies. Hard to make sense of this tragedy... I got home Friday as my oldest was coming home from kindergarten and I squeezed her tight then had to go to another room to break down for a few minutes. Always remember the best things in life aren't things.
Brinny, thank you for bringing this to the boards, as I don't think it is far from any of our minds. As MommyRN and Answerdad reflected we are all here to support one another. Sending out gentle hugs to all who need one tonight.

Inside a playful Kane County Cougars clubhouse Wednesday, the clock near center fielder Albert Almora's locker remained moving forward — not counting down.
The calendar on the wall indeed said 2013 though everybody else around Almora keeps mentioning 2015.
While Cubs fans anxiously await the development of the first draft pick of the Theo Epstein era, the sense of anticipation Almora expressed most on this stifling day surrounded Cougar manager Mark Johnson's 9-year-old son, Will.
Remember that Almora is much closer to Will's age than Alfonso Soriano's.
"It's about to go down!'' Almora warned teammate Dan Vogelbach as Will carried a giant squirt gun to a water fight with the grounds crew.
If Almora feels burdened by being as vital to the Cubs' rebuilding project as the giant video board is to Wrigley Field renovation, he hid it well in a lengthy interview that revealed a grounded 19-year-old from Hialeah, Fla., embracing his importance.
Eschewing special treatment, Almora smirked at a message teammates scribbled on the bulletin board: "Almora, You Suck.'' Comfortably, he kidded with Vogelbach, his roommate and Fox River fishing buddy. Idealistically, he vowed to spend his career as a Cub and marveled at fans committed enough to tattoo the red "C" on their skin.
"Die-hards,'' Almora said, smiling.
Maturely, Almora acknowledged pressing at the plate lately before sending a line drive up the middle in his first at-bat with the smooth swing that made him the sixth overall selection of the 2012 amateur draft.
"I haven't felt pressure,'' said Almora, who's fully recovered from a broken hamate bone and entered Wednesday's game hitting .333 in 44 games. "It's a responsibility and I've always been good with responsibility since I was a little kid. I love this game. To have that mark of being Theo's first draft pick, I take (it) to heart because I don't want to let anybody down. And I won't.''
In terms of interest and emphasis, baseball in southeastern Kane County this summer rivals any played on the North Side of Chicago — and not just for fans who take advantage of $8 tickets and $5 parking.
Cubs officials routinely make the short trip to Fifth Third Bank Ballpark to monitor their first-year Midwest League affiliate and check on prized prospects Almora and Vogelbach, among others savvy Cubs fans already know. That familiarity was obvious opening day when Vogelbach, a 6-foot, 250-pounder with a bat as lively as his personality, received a roar from a crowd curious about the kid worth a $1.6 million signing bonus.
"You feel like you're in Chicago,'' said Johnson, a White Sox catcher from 1998-2002 managing his third year in the Cubs' system. "In the other affiliates, you feel like you're in minor league baseball. Here it's a bigger microscope and that's good. They feel it.''
They savor it.
"It makes you realize you're not just doing it for yourself, you're doing it for everybody in Chicago waiting for the day the Cubs win the World Series,'' Vogelbach said.
Nancy Faust plays the organ on Sundays. About 100 dogs paraded around Wednesday night for a promotion that drew fewer than the average attendance of 5,677. The franchise will welcome its 10 millionth fan Saturday. But nothing creates a buzz quite like when Epstein or general manager Jed Hoyer enter the ballpark.
"They know when Theo or Jed are around,'' Johnson said of his players.
The player everybody knows they come to see most claims it affects him least.
"I don't want to sound cheesy but to me it's a big family so I just play no matter who's here,'' Almora said. "I can't control what people say about when I'll be ready (for the majors) because nobody knows. The Cubs will know. Until then, I'll play hard and wait for my name to be called.''
Everybody recommends patience, but Almora's family history suggests the wait might not last long. The Orioles drafted cousin Manny Machado third overall in 2010 and Tuesday night — three years later — the third baseman played in the All-Star Game.
"Happy to say the best 3B in the league is my cousin,'' @AlbertAlmora tweeted.
To stay on a similarly fast track, Almora meticulously addresses little things he considers weaknesses — bunting, seeing more pitches, "growing as a man,'' he said — while Johnson accentuates his strengths. A Class A manager worries more about psyches than sabermetrics.
"Albert's aptitude separates him,'' Johnson said. "He does emotional things that remind you he's 19 because it's the first time he has struggled. But his baseball IQ is off the charts — but off the charts for 19, not a 24-year-old big leaguer. Tell him something once and he has it.''
Unless it involves directions to Wrigley Field from Geneva. Almora looks intent on charting his own course, quickly.

Three courses in rapidly growing areas will be offered for the first time through the business division at Essex County College (ECC) during the spring 2014 semester, with the goal of creating a trio of new Business Associate degree majors.
Collectively dubbed "Taking a New Route," the courses are defined as experimental and a prelude to being developed into formal degree programs, said Carlos Rivera, acting dean of Business, Industry & Government. He projects the new majors, pending formal state approval, will be fully developed by the end of the fall 2014 semester.
The new courses and majors include Introduction to Entrepreneurship (Entrepreneurship Option); Introduction to Hip Hop Business (Hip Hop Business Studies Option); and Introduction to Public Administration (Public Administrative Option).
"Entrepreneurs create 80 percent of all new jobs in this country and small businesses (less than 100 employees) account for 50 percent of the nation's Gross Domestic Product," said Rivera. "Small business is the economy's engine and in Newark we have both the infrastructure and the need for job creation. ECC sees this as a great growth opportunity to prepare our students to effectively compete as business owners and/or executives who truly understand how the private sector works."
Hip Hop is a $20 billion global industry and growing, said Dr. Augustine A. Boayke, chair of the Division of Business. "The course, and eventually the Associate Degree major, will help interested students formalize their talents and understand the economic conditions necessary to help them grow in this practically recession-proof industry."
Rivera said the proposed Hip Hop major will go beyond the music and offer a heavy concentration on how to launch, plan, organize and control a startup business in an Industry that was actually born in the inner cities of America.
Additional information on these courses is available by contacting ECC's Division of Business at 973-877-3222.
