While the world continues to struggle to recover from the dark and ugly recession, China is offering a beam of light.
Premier Wen says, "Chinese economy is better than expected." These are encouraging (if not soothing) words, particularly so in this hard time of continuing global economic downturn and extreme volatility. Hopefully, the severity of unemployment could be reduced accordingly.
That said, the Chinese leaders ought to pay full attention and act quickly to arrest the fast deteriorating ecosystem and environment of the nation. With soaring number of new cars and the ensuing relentless production of green-house gases, the fragile biosphere would likely collapse in the not so distant future, creating greater havoc to the general health condition of the vast population who lack proper or adequate medical care.
Never procrastinate.

Thanks for that. You seem a rather honest and logical person which is quite rare to find in this period of time. I'd like to ask you two more questions if I may.
W.r.t. John Maynard Keynes, whom I have studied at University, I believe he would have been APPALLED at the kind of spending that the Obama Administration has embarked upon in the circumstances of such a major economic meltdown as we have and in view of the pre-existing astronomic US National Debt, and since it's all being done with PRINTED MONEY. Were he alive, I believe JMK would agree with me that this will cause a complete collapse of the US Economy. That's right! I am predicting that the Obama economic actions will cause the US Economy to go back to stagflation days of the 1970s, only TEN TIMES worse. (If I am wrong I will come back here and apologize publicly.) Do you agree?
This may appear to have nothing to do with economics but either you believe in God or you don't. There's no half-way position in this. It's like how you can't be a little bit pregnant. Either you are or you aren't. Any nation that engages in torture as a matter of official high-level policy (all the way up to the President) is an ABOMINATION in the eyes of the Lord and will follow the Roman Empire and the Third Reich into the infamy of history. And there are still high lever US officials who defend torture saying they couldn't have gotten information any other way. Fine! I would like the USA then to be open and honest and incorporate torture domestically in all Police Station interrogations and as a matter of course, just as the Gestapo did so successfully. All or nothing! Not a little bit here and there. Torture everybody daily or torture nobody. And while at it, throw all the rest of God's commandments into the nearest bin as well. One nation under Satan, we could then be openly. And for Mr. Obama to say that crimes were committed but we are not going to do anything about it is hypocrisy. Why did we hold Nuremberg Trials then? We should apologize to all those we convicted at Nuremberg (or at least to their family). No matter how I pray for America on bended knee ... if it is determined to practice such Human Rights abuses and other infamy, God will destroy its economy. This I can see ... quite clearly. On the present path one day the USA will be just a memory. How say thee? Britain knew all that was going on btw (all the way up to the delusional 'we must fight them in every corner of the planet' Tony Blair), and was part of the detestable torture of prisoners. The Iraq chapter has blotted the copybook of the forces of Her Majesty eternally. With Britain, God is also not happy. Bankrupt Basketcase Britain sinking into the Thames so muddy we shall continue to see unstoppably ... believe you me. The Universe is run on certain inalienable moral principles ordained by God and man transgresses them at his own peril. So the Gestapo and the Waffen Schutzstaffel (abbreviated to SS) discovered ... too late to retreat from all their evil.
Battle for the Soul of Capitalism rages from sea to shining sea. Only problem is that capitalism a la the USA sold its soul to the Devil a long time ago, I'm sad to say. The people running the US economy think the same as ricecake's friend. To them all that matters is the Dow, the Nasdaq and the S&P. Given the chance they will spend all the stimulus money ... trying to keep up a sinking S&P. [Even Viagra won't help actually.] They are fighting to keep the Dow up above 8,000 at all costs. This is a battle that (like the war on drugs) will eventually be lost. They don't care less about the 'Real Economy' (meaning you'n'me.). [Everybody in the country could be unemployed and starving most egregiously – they won't care less if they can 'Stimulate the Crooks' and get the Dow up with this printed stimulus (monopoly) money.] It's all going to fail and fail most disastrously. Believe me. I wish it were otherwise but so it has been written, so shall it all come to pass. Heed these warnings, and, if you can, try to save your ***.
Here's something I wrote last week when everybody was saying that the storm must be abating and the skies turning sunny and blue ('glimmers of hope' the President did tell me and you) because the Stock Market was up 25% from where it was previously [note I wouldn't call that - in early March - a 'bottom' unless we say that it is a 'bottom' for the time being (pro tempore) i.e. until a new 'Bottom' is established below that so-called 'Bottom' in the coming months and years of this 15-to-20-year-long so-called 'downturn']. Just last week, the Pollyannas were singing like a canary. In fact, they were singing like the canary in the mine. Now they are mostly silent, I think you'll find.
//Looks like another deadcat bounce going on today in the USA and across the UK. The UK and the USA transformed themselves from a manufacturing (or export-driven) economy to a service economy (with everyone serving tea, everything would be just fine and dandy, Mandy) aka the "new Economy' or the consumer-driven economy. For example, in the USA more than two thirds of GDP comes from consumer spending. No surprise therefore that GDP dropped more than 6% in the USA in Q4 2008. But the 'Glimmers of Hope' people are predicting that GDP will return to 'modest growth' (positive territory i.e.) in Q4 2009. How, when the back of the US (and his British counterpart) is broken in a dozen places and like Kenny Rogers famously said (to Lucille) "This time the hurtin' won't heal", could this be? How? In Heaven's name how? How is the USA (or the UK) going to return to 'positive territory' in Q4 2009? Remove at least half of two thirds from US GDP and HOW is GDP going to return (in a hurry) to positive territory, pray tell me?
And all that rosy stuff about 'Banks returning to profitability' is just more govt propaganda designed to mislead you'n'me. Without the consumer returning to some facsimile of solvency, there can't be too much 'E' over on Sesame Street (E's for 'Earnings', Big Bird did tell me). And without E, for Corporate America (Corporate Britain same story) there can be no return to profitability (other than the usual Enron accounting fantasy occasionally), unless the Govt is going to continue to inject tens of trillions of printed bailout money quarterly, indefinitely. Which will leave the Markets doing a Chernobyl-imitation regularly.
So, let's see. If nobody has no money honey, is the price of a house going to go up or down, irrepressibly? That one is too tough for me. OK, if you think the former it's going to be ... rush out and buy a dozen Condo, immediately, why don't thee?//
Hello ricecake,
You wrote: //My friend laughed at me and said: " What do you know about the stock market or economy? Stock market is a different animal. It has nothing to do with the real economy. You bet on buy low sell high."//
These people really make one laugh, don't they? If you go to study law, one of the first things they teach you (especially if you are training to be a Barrister) is: "Never start believing your own propaganda!" These folks started this "The Stock Market is not connected to the real economy" (also stated as "Wall Street is not connected to Main Street") propaganda nonsense to confuse the unwary ... and now they have started believing it themselves. Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! There is a God, don't you know, and he has a terrific sense of humor as this little story doth show. Where's the money going to come from then? Little aliens bring it in spaceships in the middle of the night maybe? The US transformed itself from a manufacturing-based economy to a 'Consumer Society', something I would NOT recommend for any country. Now 'Consumer Spending' accounts for more than 70% of GDP. Consumer stops spending (WON'T spend because he/she CAN'T spend) – there goes the whole economy down to the bottom of the sea baby, do you see? (I know you do see. You are one of the very very few with 'the eyes to see'; not 'blind-as-a-bat like everybody; I take my hat off to thee.).
The way your friend has brainwashed himself to think, even if every man woman and child is out of work in the USA one fine day … IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO WALL STREET which will continue to prosper even if every single city in the USA turns itself into Flint Michigan (see link). With all due respect to your friend, these people are all idiots. Did anybody see the movie 'Idiocracy'? THAT'S the world we are living in today believe me. We are idiots who elect idiots to lead us who in turn appoint idiots to high positions and the appointed idiots and the leader idiots tell us the idiots idiot nonsense each and every day which being idiots we gobble down right away. There's C21st Earth in a nutshell for you.

Ps. There IS life out there but they go a long way out of their way to avoid us as they know that all the folks on the Blue Planet are crazy. In fact, they call our planet 'The Asylum', and the only times they do visit is to drop off any of their own people suffering from insanity.
Ps(2). Geithner and the rest of the comedians keep calling on the Am People to resume spending. Calling on somebody with NO MONEY (and nobody will lend him/her any) to spend ... is the very height of stupidity and insanity.
@Market Matador,
"If I'm playing to an audience that's clearly delusional and I join in the delusion most happily and willingly, EITHER I too am as delusional as delusional can be, OR I'm dishonest and insincere completely. Which am I, could you please tell me?"
No arguing with that one! I would have to say, given my high regard for the intellect of President Obama, the latter. Not necessarily as a criticism mind you. The dishonesty he exhibits is a price demanded by the system of governance he represents.
But I do see where you are coming from. Irrespective of the sincerity of his public stance, once said stand is made he is trapped by it. He will have no choice but to follow up on the delusion, making him "as delusional as delusional can be".
As I said, no arguing with you on that.
"Recovery from the recession, when it comes, will be slow and painful"
Krugman said the West owe Japan an apology for their Western More-than-10 years bad mouth the Japanese because the US and the West now are doing much worse. Japan at least were still producing exporting lots of goodies. If the US will end up like Japan we should count ourselves lucky. We should expecting much worse.
(You can fast forward to the part Krugman's speaking part.)
IMF report - even Krugman's scared.
"The danger, however, is that too much emphasis on the stock cycle misses the underlying characteristics of this downturn. This is mainly a balance-sheet recession precipitated by a financial crisis. And it is a downturn that it is unusually synchronised around the globe."
For example, my friend bought many share of CIti Bank stocks few weeks ago because they are cheap. But of curse it fell after the deal(bought in $5 then down to less than $3. Now although the market up but the stocks are not up much.) I said: "See, I told you so. Don't touch those stocks. The whole economy is very very bad. That particular bank is the largest zombie. How could you do that?"
My friend laughed at me and said: " What do you know about the stock market or economy? Stock market is a different animal. It has nothing to do with the real economy. You bet on buy low sell high."
When it's the concern of money, people are not change. They always lead by Greed unrealistic expectation luck. I know many people who are playing on the stock market are totally disregard economy. They are like the voodoo mad scientists analyze researching the clue and trend or signals from the data they collected, trying to catch the best timing therefore catch their big fish of the day. They love to make quick big bucks.
The problem is when the too big to fall banks doing that, the society have pay for their gambling debts. That's the most painful thing. Not the recovery.
In Michigan unemployment has reached 12.8% and climbing. In the Great Depression, unemployment reached 25% but they did (calculated) things more simply (less dishonestly) back then. If 75% of the available workforce had jobs, then unemployment had to be 25%. Nowadays they disqualify about half those who have lost their jobs for one reason or another (not looking hard enough they figure), so the figure of 12.8% now could easily compare to 25% back then. When Michigan reaches 17% ... it will translate to about 30% unemployment, if we use the method of the 1930s (comparing apples to apples). This will far exceed anything America has ever experienced before. Geithner, Bernanke and Summers do not have a clue what they are saying and doing.
As the onslaught of bad economic data rolls on with no end in sight, we are witnessing increasing desperate attempts to demonstrate the latest trough is in fact a plateau, the Stock Research Portal says:
"It will be interesting to see if the Fed still believes U.S. unemployment will peak at 8.5% (where it is now reported to be) … One must seriously wonder what the analysts and commentators who are predicting near term U.S. economic recovery are smoking."
I'd like to start with "I don't think that the delusion is that of the President's; rather it is that of the audience he is playing to", if I may.
If I'm playing to an audience that's clearly delusional and I join in the delusion most happily and willingly, EITHER I too am as delusional as delusional can be, OR I'm dishonest and insincere completely. Which am I, could you please tell me? I have other questions to ask of thee ... but this one has really puzzled me.
God has answered my prayers. At last! A Poster with something intelligent to say and not afraid to say it clearly and eloquently.
I'll try to answer this later because I "Agree with some of what you said, but not all of it."
And I'll try to do so intelligently, if I can possibly.
@Market Matador,
Agree with some of what you said, but not all of it.
Sure, given that the roots of this crisis are in overspending and undersaving, it is a flight of fancy to beleive that we will be able to spend our way out of a recession. However, the purpose of public spending during a recession is to ensure the avoidance of a precipitous decline in output, which would make the recession deeper and longer than classical theory allows for. Wasn't the lesson of the Great Depression exactly this?
That said it is misleading for President Obama to paint the deficit spending as a sort of panacea that will stimulate the eonomy back to its good (bad?!) old days. However, I don't think that the delusion is that of the President's; rather it is that of the audience he is playing to.
Most of us do not want to hear that there is going to be a long painful adjustment in front of us. Debt is going to have to be reduced and spending curtailed, which is going to hobble growth for years to come. For us on the ground it means more sackings for those employed, fewer jobs for those entering the market and lower salaries for those who hold jobs.
And there is no solution but to buckle down and pull through for as long as it takes. The day a politician, any politician, is able to say this straight, I'll beleive that the worst is behind us!
Breaking news: • Herb Allison of Fannie Mae Nominated by Obama to Run Treasury TARP Office
See what I mean? Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.
Quote: //In a speech this week summarizing his administration's economic policies, President Obama grossly overstated the support these policies enjoy by claiming, "economists on the left and right agree that the last thing the government should do during a recession is cut back on spending." There are a great many economists who were surprised to learn that, apparently, they now agree with the President.
Reading straight from the Keynesian playbook, Obama justified the creation of multi-trillion dollar deficits by asserting that the government must fill the spending void left by the contraction of consumer and business spending. As one of those mythical economists who do not agree with the President, I argue that it is precisely this type of boneheaded thinking that got us into this mess, and it's the reason we are now headed for an inflationary depression.
We do not need, nor should we attempt, to replace lost demand. As Obama himself pointed out in the same speech, Americans have been borrowing and spending too much money. These actions created artificial demand, underpinned by the illusion of real wealth in overvalued stock and real estate markets. Given his intelligence and rhetorical training, it is hard to fathom how President Obama cannot notice the inherent contradiction in his argument.
While Obama commended millions of American families for making the hard choices to reduce spending, pay down debt and replenish savings, he later outlined the government's intention to spend every American household deeper into debt, thereby undermining all the good that personal austerity would have otherwise produced.//

I too am amazed and disappointed that someone as supposedly intelligent as Obama seems to have fallen for the alchemist sophistry of the economics industry and is heading the Ship of State straight for the rocks of a coming hyperinflationary depression far worse than the 1929 to 1939 economic troubles.
Peter Schiff is one of the few economists around today who is not confuddled by the verbosity and pomposity of his own bombosity and who is still able to reason rationally consequently. In January of 2007 I predicted without equivocation that the markets would crash before the end of the year. At that time, all the people upon whom Obama seems to be relying today scoffed at and laughed out of town anyone who said this Ponzi pyramid they were constructing would collapse sooner rather than later. The MORE wrong they were about everything, the HIGHER the position they seem to have been given in the Obama White House.
America today is one in which all the dead wood seems to have floated to the top. Or put another way, the lunatics have taken over the aysylum. At least as far as economics is concerned, that seems to be the case.
The New Keynesians emphasised expectations as a fundamental force in contemporary economics but mentioned that the Government must be credible for its statements and published intentions to achieve the desired market reaction.
Neither the USA nor the UK are credible in anything, especially economics. Credibility falling to zero in one area tends to cross-contaminate credibility down to near-zero in another area, doesn't it? George Bush personally said over and over again that the USA does not torture. We now know that the USA is a country that DOES engage in torture most vile and as such is in no position to lecture any other country about human rights violations. And we know that aiding and abetting the USA in all its illegal acts was (and probably still is) its faithful acolyte the UK. So, with respect to the Anglo-Saxons, the world now knows that almost everything we (the Anglo-Saxons) say is a lie. Under these circumstances, is anyone really going to invest in us or buy our bonds or put their money in our banks or have anything to do with our financial services sector? Pretty soon, nobody will trust our Anglo-Saxon Insurance Companies either e.g. Lloyds Insurance in London. Who will buy products (banking services, insurance etc) from companies in countries like the UK or the USA who have lost all credibility with many of their own citizenry and with the international community most certainly? Trust in us is gone. The world looks down on us. Our economies face a dismal future. There is an old saying that when a man (or a country) surrenders his (its) honour, he (it) surrenders everything else of value at the very same place and time. In the boom years we acted without honour. In the bust years we have nowhere to turn. Future's looking grim. We can't even turn to Him.
Ps. Britain isn't facing a 'serious recession', as The Economist and the govt spinmeisters suggest.
It's facing the 'Mother of all Great Depressions', the likes of which it has not seen since the South Sea Bubble (dubbed the 'Enron of England') left England bankrupt. As a matter of fact, Britain is already bankrupt as-we-speak, but they are printing money (or creating it electronically) 24/7 to camouflage the fact. In fact, if they turn all those defunct Auto Manufacturing Plants into Printing Presses, Britain's economic woes will be solved in one fell swoop.
Thank you Gordon; thank you Tony; thank you Alistair Campbell (Tony's brain). Thanks for this 'Brave New World (of bankruptcy)' that you promised me.
Risk Manager is right. We (the Anglo-Saxons or UKUSA if you prefer) are in a state of denial. It's like when primitive man sat around the campfire scratching his head and asking "How can we solve the problem of too much pregnancy when we don't know what's causing it?" We (UKUSA) try to put lipstick on our pig and figure that'll make everything all right. We refuse to accept any blame. It's not like we were leading (and endlessly lecturing) the whole world and we ran the global ship right onto the rocks. Oh no! It's like, if we share the blame around like jam on a slice of toast, then we can weasel out of any and all responsibility. We can blame the French or the Germans (who compared to our economic insanity were relatively restrained and sane actually), the Chinese, the Japanese, Islamic Fundamentalism, the Nomads in the Sahara, anything and anybody will do nicely when we are lashing out indiscriminately you see. And of course the answer isn't for us to start living within our means and saving for a rainy day, and for out wild reckless out-of-control spendthrift governments to start living within THEIR means and saving instead of borrowing and printing and quantitatively easing (creating tens of trillions of money electronically out of thin air). Nooo! The answer is for all these Chinese and other people in Asia and the Orient upon whom we look down on and patronise so much endlessly (except when we want to borrow trillions of their money obviously) - the answer is for THEM to start spending like us and living the 'Champagne Dreams of the Rich and Shameless' on a soda-water income and running up millions of dollars of debt on assets worth only a couple hundred thousand at best.
Here's how the Anglo-Saxon economic model is operating right now. The Fire Ants of Consumption (aka the US Consumer) have had their backs broken in a dozen places under the weight of their staggering debt, so there's a global over-production of everything, especially cars and houses. So, should we, like, cut production? Nah. No way José. The answer is for our governments (UKUSA) to keep printing (and quantitatively easing) money by the tens of trillions indefinitely, give half to the big corrupt bankrupt banks and with the other half keep buying these products on an indefinite basis. In fact, in this utopia, nobody has to work anymore as the govt can simply print enough money to make every one of us a millionaire or more. Isn't life grand? I don't really want to mention this but we must be very shallow greedy untrustworthy kind of people because we elect very shallow greedy untrustworthy kind of people to lead us 'Time After Time'. Or if you prefer, the blind electing the blind to lead us blindly into a bind. How divine!
Or, for the UK, we can say that the longest period of uninterrupted economic expansion ever recorded has been followed by a serious recession.
I will never cease to be "amazed" ;-)
p.s. anyone else getting the sense of bereavement from those that predicted the anglo saxons model would implode and smart social europeans model would sail on? I think its palpable. Herein is the very stuff of cycles methinks. Despair, get it while you can!
For recovery to happen we need demand, to create which world has traditionally relied on the Americans. Now with them under the weight of massive debts, we need an alternative source to absorb the output produced during the recovery. As if now there is no reliable source in sight but the governments which at the expense of their fiscal healths may stimulate demand in the short term but in the long run unless a substitute for the U.S. consumer is not found the world economy will either not recover to a sustainable level or recovery would be sluggish (to be optimistic).
Hence, we maybe at the cross roads the likes of which were last seen in the early twentieth century when the worlds balance of economic power was shifting towards the U.S. from Europe, now it seems to be moving towards Asia. However, its still too early to see how legions of compulsive savers can be proselytized to consumerism. The answer maybe that these economies are still in developing stages and maybe able to absorb their surpluses among themselves in form of various investments in public and private projects focused on the local economy. Whatever happens, recovery in terms we maybe thinking i.e. status quo is not happening in the foreseeable future.

Compassion House Support
Compassion House is a home to shelter our American military personnel (veterans) who are struggling to survive. It is not a homeless shelter in the traditional sense, and certainly not a halfway house, but a transition home for veterans seeking to get their lives back after enduring hardships. Our goal is to help house, counsel, feed, educate, and find employment to assist our military family return to mainstream society as productive members. This includes providing support groups and counseling sessions to any military service member returning from a deployment and in need of extra assistance. Neighbors are seeking to have the shelter vacated and dissolved, ostensibly based on zoning regulations and are threatening legal action if the city of Culpeper does not meet their demands. The Culpeper zoning adminstrator has reviewed the request and petition and determined that Compassion House does not violate the Culpeper Code, however, the residents are still threatening legal action. Local neighbors were invited to an Open House at Compassion House on May 17th, but none of them showed. Considering that other activities may have precluided their attendance, another Open House will be held on June 14 (approx) in order to allow neighbors to meet the residents of Compassion House and see that they are not the \"veterans with chemical dependencies\" that threaten their safety and security as the complainants proffer. A thorough screening process is conducted for all potential Compassion House residents. First, each veteran must provide proof of military service submitting their DD Form 214 and their Veterans Affairs identification card. The Deane Outreach Ministry conducts criminal background checks on all prospective residents, checks their identity against the Virginia State Police Registry of Sex Offenders, and conducts random drug screening (urinalysis) tests before new residents are added. For current residents, background checks were requested on 8 May, and random urinalysis will begin shortly. No drugs or alcohol are permitted at Compassion House. Claims by neighbors that residents are chemically dependent are without merit, however, the Deanes understand the concern of local residents and will conduct periodic, random drug testing to protect both the veterans and the local residents. Smoking tobacco products is permitted on the back deck. Residents have house rules (including a provision that they provide 30% of their income to support house expenses) and must sign an agreement prior to admission. This petition seeks to encourage people with issues or concerns about Compassion House to get to know the residents by stopping by to visit during the local open house events that will be held quarterly (at a minimum). The petition also seeks to encourage Culpeper city officials to support the zoning administrator\'s formal determination in this matter that the Compassion House does not violate city ordinances and that local neighbors do not have \"standing\" to take legal action to vacate and dissolve Compassion House.

When this was brought to the attention of the U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs he basically brushed the assault aside, stating that the U.S. Congress had to take care of the matter, as he was not empowered to enforce the statute.

DeFrancisco will run on the Republican, Conservative and Independent lines; Joy has secured Democratic and Working Families lines.
To see their debate, broadcast by NewsChannel 9 on Oct. 15, click here.
Here's where the candidates stand on a variety of issues important to CNY:
DeFrancisco: Voted for a one-year moratorium. "I believe the issue came on the heels of the horrible oil spill and it just seems to be that isn't just a red light, that you better be careful and do some more review."
Joy: "I am against high-volume hydrofracking in our water sheds. We have spent too much money and there's too much invested in our community in our pristine water sources, and that's one of the assets that we have. We can't jeopardize that."
Property tax cap
DeFrancisco: Voted for three cap proposals. " The only way it works is to have reductions in state spending. There's got to be reductions in spending to go hand in hand. You have to reprioritize state spending and make sure that state spending is leaving enough money to provide that education dollar."
Joy: "There's not an absolute. The tax cap alone sounds great but there's much more to it than that. If you're going to have a property tax cap, make it for real... overall property tax caps would be advised but you have to close the loopholes."
Redistricting legislative districts
DeFrancisco: "If you redistrict and one house is controlled by upstate and one house is controlled by downstate at least there's going to be some give and take in the redistricting process. If the crew that's running the Assembly and the Senate right now are going to make that decision it doesn't bode well for any place above Poughkeepsie."
Joy: "I think the way that it needs to happen is through a non-partisan commission. I would make sure when it gets to legislature for a vote, its either a yes or no vote - no more tinkering. It should not split counties, it should not split cities or create voting blocks." Supports an independent commission that would make recommendations based on geography and demographics.

When I was out walking this morning, I came across this not far from my house. I thought it was so cute.
Beats the heck out of T.P.-ing someone's house. While I was taking the picture with my mobile phone, a car slowed down to check it out.

That is funny! But what does it mean..flocked? I can't read the sign.. |

I honestly don't know. The girl went into the house too fast for me to ask many questions. I suspect it means about the same as getting T.P.ed. It means you're being recognized as part of the In-Crowd. This was done by our town's high school band. The girl said she had friends in the band. Then she ran back into the house. |

There are companies that do this "Flocking". I imagine the lettering on the sign is a silly saying. She's just 15, LOL. Executives here, in mansions, have woke up to find 50 or more (depending on their age) in their yards. I think its a hoot. Wonder if 63 flamingos would fit in my little front yard? LOL. Oh, the company comes and retrieves them later in the day. hugs, Karen |

How fun that would have been to see! Would make you LOL for sure. Last October, my next door neighbor came outside on her birthday and found a huge banner saying "Guess who's 50 today?" and a courtyard full of balloons everywhere. She said she thought it was all fun except for the fact that her age was announced on the banner! Luvs |

After reading Karen's post I looked up Flamingo Flocking. Here's one link with additional links at the end. Turn's out it was probably some sort of high school band fundraiser. |

Amazing! I have never seen that here! I thought I saw flamingos in the dollar store..a lot cheaper than the sites on the net! Did you see you could order turkeys, bunnies etc Here they do wood signs when a new baby is born...cute ones, but expensive to rent. I told my son if I knew he was going to have 4 kids I would have made it! |
OA, what a great site you came upon. I love it. I made DH come over and take a look so he got a good laugh too. I have never heard of such a thing but what a great idea someone came up with. Here in MT it may happen in the cities more than where I live too. Punk |

I have an 8hp Troy-Bilt rear-tine tiller. The right seal on the tine assembly started leaking and I replaced both seals (the bearings and gears looked fine and I didn't remove the worm gear). I reassembled, jacked the rear of the tiller up as instructed in the manual, added the recommended amount of 140 gear oil (GL-1 was all I could find) and the dip stick read WAY overfilled, so I drained most of the gear oil out until the stick read OK. Now the gear box is getting hot although the level still reads OK. any ideas?
thanks in advance |

As I indicated earlier, Unicode is a complex standard, and it has taken some time for different languages and technologies to support it. For example, Perl 5.6.x used Unicode internally, but input and output operations couldn't easily use it, which made such support basically useless. Perl 5.8 by contrast has excellent Unicode support, allowing developers to write regular expressions that depend on Unicode properties.
There are still some problems, however. A major problem that developers have to deal with is the issue of input encoding vs. storage encoding, such as when your terminal might use Latin-1 but the back end might use UTF-8. This sort of arrangement means you can continue to use your old (non-Unicode) terminal program and fonts but connect to and use your Unicode-compliant back-end program.
Various implementations also have some holes, which might not be obvious when you first start to work on a project. For example, I recently worked on a J2EE project that used PostgreSQL on its back end and stored all of the characters in Unicode. Everything was fine until we decided to compare the user's input string with text in the database in a case-insensitive fashion. Unfortunately, the PostgreSQL function we used doesn't handle case insensitivity correctly for Unicode strings. We found a workaround in the end, but it was both embarrassing and frustrating to encounter this.
Collating, or sorting, is also a difficult issue—one that has bitten me on a number of occasions. Unicode defines a character set, but it does not indicate in which order the characters in that set should be sorted. Until recently, for example, "ch" was sorted as its own separate letter in Spanish-speaking countries; this was not true for speakers of English, German and French. The sort order thus depends not only on the character set, but on the locale in which the character set is being applied. You may need to experiment with the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables (among others) to get things to work the way you expect.
Unicode is clearly the way of the future; most operating systems now support it to a certain degree, and it is becoming an entrenched standard in the computer world. Unfortunately, Unicode requires unlearning the old practice of equating characters and bytes and handling a great deal of new complexities and problems.
If you only need to use a single language on your web site, then consider yourself lucky. But if you want to use even a single non-ASCII character, you will soon find yourself swimming in the world of Unicode. It's worth learning about this technology sooner rather than later, given that it is slowly but surely making its way into nearly every open-source system and standard.

hi reuven, thanks a lot for a comprehensive article. i've always stabbed in the dark regarding charsets and encoding, but now am on the right path (regarding this at least).
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Report: Teens Brendan Johnson and Cassie Rieb burned, tried to dismember his grandma's body
Update: Our original post about the arrest of Sterling teens Brendan Johnson and Cassandra Rieb for allegedly murdering his grandparents, Charles and Shirley Severance, contained plenty of unsettling information; see our previous coverage below. But claims from a newly released arrest affidavit in the case are infinitely more shocking.Cassandra Rieb in a Facebook photo. More photos and a video below.
Among the assertions: Shirley begged for her life while being repeatedly stabbed, and after she was killed, Johnson and Rieb tried but failed to chop up her body while she was being incinerated. Moreover, the murders were committed nine days before they were reported. Additional photos and details below.
A warning before we go on: Information from the arrest affidavit, shared by both 9News and 7News, may disturb some readers.
As we reported, Johnson called police on May 29 on a supposed medical call for his grandfather. Charles was dead upon the cops' arrival, and the fact that he had been killed a week-plus earlier goes a long way toward explaining why an autopsy didn't find immediate signs of trauma to his body.Brendan Johnson, in a now-deleted photo from his Facebook page.
In a subsequent interview, Johnson reportedly maintained that Charles had given him a couple of checks adding up to $4,500, as well as permission to use his 2009 Chevy truck. He's said to have used the money and vehicle to attend a concert in Denver during the days leading up to the body's discovery.
Shirley, for her part, was missing, and in a separate interview with investigators, Rieb allegedly denied knowledge of her whereabouts -- although the report quotes her as admitting that Johnson actually wrote and signed the checks supposedly given to him by Charles.
Armed with this information, the cops went back to Johnson. The affidavit says he and Reib subsequently confessed to killing the Severances, and their explanations about the botched process are chilling.
The murder plot reportedly came together in early May, with the goal focusing on Johnson collecting his inheritance early.Another meme from Johnson's Facebook page.
On May 20, the affidavit says, Johnson and Rieb entered the Severances' place, with him assigned to smother Charles and her tasked with doing the same to Shirley. But things didn't go as planned.
The document says Charles struggled so much that Johnson eventually had to choke him to death -- although the seventy-year-old may have suffered a fatal heart attack while fighting for his life. And Shirley was even less cooperative. She apparently tried to run away, and when she couldn't escape, she pleaded with the teens not to kill her and even offered them money to go away.
They didn't. Johnson reportedly allowed her to get some water -- but while she was drinking, he tried to cut her throat. Instead, he slashed her jaw, prompting Shirley to try fleeing again. She failed to get free, however, and Johnson is accused of repeatedly stabbing her as she pleaded for her life.
Finally, Johnson strangled Shirley with a string, the affidavit says. Investigators believe that's what finally killed her.
The teens took the couple's bodies to a bedroom and left them there until the next day, police say. After the cleanup at the murder site was complete, they used the truck to drive Shirley's body to Prewitt Reservoir, a short drive from Sterling. There, they're accused of dousing it with gas and setting it ablaze -- and while it burned, they tried to hack off an arm and a leg.Another photo of Rieb from Facebook.
The body was initially buried in a reservoir fire pit. But they apparently didn't feel it was secure enough there, so they returned on May 28, dug it up and took it to a remote location in Nebraska before returning home. Johnson alerted the cops to Charles's death the next day.
Johnson and Rieb made their first court appearance yesterday, where they were formally charged with two counts apiece of first-degree murder, aggravated robbery and theft. On top of that, Johnson faces two forgery charges.
Look below to see a brief 7News update on the case, followed by our original post.

The landscape in FjordKysten is characterised by hundreds of unspoilt islands with tranquil coastal paths, deep fjords and mountain tops that rise straight out of the sea.
A popular trend is to join so called "mountain runs". There are several available in FjordKysten, for example the Vetenløpet Race that takes place in Bremanger every year in July.
All year.
With over 200 hiking trails, there are plenty of options for all ages and abilities, from short walks along the coast with sandy beaches to adventurous excursions on the Ålfoten glacier.
The 15 North Sea Trails are family friendly, easy hikes to peaks with endless views of the coast. More challenging hikes include Hornelen (850 metres above sea level), Lihesten (714 metres) and Blegja (1,305 metres). The highest peak is the Ålfoten glacier in Bremanger at 1,385 metres above sea level.
Another option is the Sail Trail, which combines sailing and hiking to up to five of the most significant peaks in the area in two to five days.
The multi-day Pilgrim Route hike also passes through the region.
Maps are available at local tourist offices and hotels.
Hornelen Store Batalden Alden Blegja Lihesten
Norway Adventures in Bremanger offers guided hikes in the region.
Bute Sail organises the above mentioned Sail Trail.
In FjordKysten there are many self catered cabins and small hotels of average to high standard. The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) has cabins throughout the area.
Read more about accommodation in FjordKysten.
FjordKysten is easily accessible from Oslo and Bergen. Widerøe has several flights from Oslo to Florø every day. From Bergen the Norled coastal express boat runs twice a day (once on Saturdays and Sundays). You can also reach the region on a Hurtigruten cruise, by car, bus or your own boat.

Hmm. I see it's been two weeks since I last posted a "done" post. I've been mostly stressed and depressed, though today has been pretty good for some reason.
I've been doing quite a lot of puttering and other housework. It probably helps my mood -- at least in the short term: it's clearly a distraction from the really nasty problems. Most of which involve money, and are going to get worse until we can sell the Starport. Offer me 800K and it's yours.
Two weeks is too much to summarize. Looking back over it, I've actually done a fair amount. Just... not so much in comparison to what still needs doing. And not enough to make me feel good about myself.
{Stop it, Bear. You're not helping.}
Don't know which of my inner voices that was, but it's right.

agree with this, we need to start playing like we are always playing catch up, especially if the run game just isnt working. Go 5 wide and stretch the field, what we are doing now isnt working so we might as well try something different. BUT kubiak wont.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has described as "fruitful" US
State Secretary Hillary Clinton's visit to Ukraine. He said in his
opening remarks at a joint news conference with Clinton in Kiev that the
USA supported political stability and "the creation of a system of
reforms" in Ukraine. Yanukovych also stressed that, as a "non-bloc
state", Ukraine welcomed the USA's pledge to ensure its independence and
territorial integrity. The following is the text of Yanukovych's opening
remarks at the news conference broadcast live by the private news-based
5 Kanal TV channel on 2 July:
Esteemed Madame State Secretary, ladies and gentlemen!
I am pleased to welcome the head of the US State Department in Ukraine.
I want to thank you, Madame State Secretary, and President Obama for all
the kind words you have just said on the occasion of my jubilee
[Yanukovych turns 60 on 9 July].
My today's meeting with the state secretary has confirmed the two
countries' readiness to further deepen bilateral relations in line with
provisions of the Ukraine-USA Strategic Partnership Charter. Today we
had a wonderful opportunity to discuss the most pressing matters in
Ukrainian-US relations and identify sectors for our cooperation: in
particular, deeper cooperation in the sector of trade and investment, as
well as in the energy sector.
We also discussed practical aspects of the implementation of agreements
which were reached during my meeting with President Obama [at the
nuclear summit] in Washington in April this year.
The state secretary and I welcomed fruitful results of the second
meeting of the Ukraine-USA strategic partnership commission which took
place in Kiev today. During our meeting we also exchanged views on a
number of important international issues and noted our shared vision of
ways to resolve them.
Our agenda today also included matters relating to Ukraine's domestic
We are pleased to see that the USA positively assesses political
stabilization in our country, enhanced effectiveness of the governance
of Ukraine and first basic steps towards the creation of a system of
For us it is very important that the USA supports the anti-crisis
programme which is being implemented in Ukraine by the president and the
cabinet. We appreciate the USA's readiness to support Ukraine in all
sectors that are of great importance to our state: the resumption of
cooperation with the International Monetary Fund, the overcoming of
consequences of the financial and economic crises and the implementation
of systemic reforms in our country.
We value the United States' consistent stance on guarantees of Ukraine's
sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and the inviolability
of its borders, which was reiterated today. This is extremely important
to Ukraine as a European non-bloc state.
I would like to stress that the USA is our reliable strategic partner.
For our part, we are ready to take all the necessary steps to further
consolidate our partnership.
I want to thank you, Madame State Secretary, for our fruitful work

Security System Installation
University Police must approve the purchase and installation of security systems for all campus buildings. A "security system" is defined as any device, system, or subsystem of another system designed to detect and/or report the presence of a criminal act or violation of a security practice or policy occurring within a specific space or area. The term applies to, but is not be limited to, systems or devices:
- Intended to report criminal intrusion into a protected space;
- Intended to permit or deny access to a building or space;
- Intended to report security violation events such as alarmed exits, delayed egress locks, or systems and door prop alarms;
- Intended to be activated by a victim of a crime during a duress condition or hold-up event. This includes emergency telephones or intercoms or call boxes, duress alarms and hold-up alarms;
- Intended to record by any means, the activity of persons or places before, during and/or after a criminal event and includes both video and audio recording systems or devices.
Units or departments interested in acquiring a security system must first submit the Security System Request Form. Upon receipt of the request, the Physical Security Coordinator will consult with the unit/department regarding their security needs.
This process is meant to ensure that all security equipment is centrally managed and monitored by University Police in accordance with the Facilities Design Standardization Policy.
If you have any questions, please contact the Physical Security Coordinator at 502-852-7241.

Get a Heads Up on Concussion in Sports Policies
Information for Parents, Coaches, and School & Sports Professionals
Implementing Return to Play:
Learning from the Experiences of Early Implementers
Check out a CDC report that includes lessons learned from Washington and Massachusetts on implementing their states' concussion in sports laws.
Download Get a Heads Up on Concussion in Sports Policies PDF [590KB]
Recently many states, schools, and sports leagues and organizations have created policies or action plans on concussion in youth and high school sports. While these policy efforts show some promise, more research is needed to learn if these strategies can help educate coaches and parents about this issue and help protect children and teens from concussion and other serious brain injuries.2,3
State Laws
Beginning in 2009, the state of Washington passed the first concussion in sports law, called the Zackery Lystedt Law.4 One month later, Max's law5 passed in Oregon. Between 2009 and 2013, all 50 states, and the District of Columbia, passed laws on concussions in sports for youth and/or high school athletes (often called Return to Play laws).6
Most concussion in sports laws include three action steps:
- Educate Coaches, Parents, and Athletes: Inform and educate coaches, athletes, and their parents and guardians about concussion through training and/or a concussion information sheet.
- Remove Athlete from Play: An athlete who is believed to have a concussion is to be removed from play right away.
- Obtain Permission to Return to Play: An athlete can only return to play or practice after at least 24 hours and with permission from a health care professional.
These action steps are based on recommendations presented in the International Concussion Consensus Statement.7 First created in 2002 and most recently updated in 2008, the Consensus Statement was developed by experts in the field and includes the latest science available on concussion in sports.
Local Policies and Action Plans
Along with the three action steps listed above, some school and league concussion policies include additional action steps in their policies or implementation plans. Research is needed to learn if these additional action steps can help protect children and teens from concussion and other serious brain injuries. Based on interviews by CDC with nine states, below is a list of some examples of additional action steps.
Free Training
CDC Heads Up educational materials (available at no cost) can help state and local organizations meet many of the requirements in concussion in sports policies, including online courses for:
Be Ready for an Emergency by:
- Limiting contact during sports practices (when appropriate for the sport).
- Putting in place rule changes and/or banning or limiting the use of certain drills or techniques to help reduce the chances of injury.
- Checking sports equipment often. This includes making sure the equipment fits the athletes well, is in good condition, stored properly, and is repaired and replaced based on instructions from the equipment companies.
Build the Science by:
- Collecting data from schools on the number of concussions reported by athletes during the season.
- Studying changes in concussion knowledge and awareness among coaches and parents before and after the policy is put in place.
Focus on Education by:
- Posting information for parents, coaches, and athletes at schools and on the field or sidelines. Posted information often includes concussion signs and symptoms, as well as what to do if a concussion occurs.
- Hosting or requiring regular trainings for athletes, parents, coaches, and school and health care professionals about concussion.
Manage Return to School by:
- Providing information on returning to school. This includes creating:
- A concussion management team to check on students with a concussion for any changes in behavior or increased problems with school work.
- A plan that includes special support or help for students during the school day to help with their recovery.

reviews & comments (6)
I didn't measure and made some changes to this recipe, but the idea of nectarine salsa, especially on top of grilled meat, is great. I've had watermelon and mango salsas like this before, but I think I like nectarine the best.
Yum! If your mouth doesn't tolerate spicy things well, I'd suggest either halving the serrano chile or omitting it completely. Other than that, this recipe is an easy and decicious one! I served it on some sourdough bread and everybody loved it!
Superb as is, but on a second go-round, I added a twist. On a toasted slice of bruschetta, I added a thin slice of fried halloumi cheese. Heaven on earth!
This was pretty tasty. I doubled the recipe but only used one pepper because I was worried about the spice. Turns out I should have added the second pepper. It was better the second day after the flavours blended although it got a bit liquidy. Served it on baguette with goat cheese as suggested and it was very nice. Next time I will add some sweet onion and maybe use cilantro instead of the arugula.

February's Monthly Challenge Results
Wed 27 Feb 2013Story by Sarah Curl
Every month we ask our global team of Ambassadors to complete three Monthly Challenges. Each challenge is designed to inspire Food Revolutionaries to engage with their community and make deeper connections with the thought leaders in the real food industry. Here is what they accomplished this month!
February's Challenge #1:
We asked our community to try out this month's recipe Everyday Green Chopped Salad. We wanted to see what different combinations everyone could come up with. Here's a few of our Ambassadors trying out their own versions of this versatile salad.
Stacy Whitman (Ketchum, Idaho) - Got started on my February Monthly Challenges tonight by making a chopped green salad. I had my 4-year-old twins "chop" the greens with kitchen shears, thinking that they would be more enthused to eat it. They were very excited to participate but, alas, only nibbled one leaf each. (I, on the other hand, very much enjoyed my delicious salad.). Sigh...better luck next time!
Amy Wambold (Scottsdale, Arizona) I like to add thinly sliced and chopped turkey, crumbled feta and chopped almonds. So fun to make!
Rebecca Bourhill (Rustenberg, South Africa) - I started giving monthly demos to teachers at my old school! They are great fun to do! This month I showed 4 dishes and everyone enjoyed it so I will continue for the rest of the year hopefully! This month I focused on Salads so I did a Chicken Caesar salad, Asian chicken salad, Tomato, olive, mozzarella and basil bruschetta with chicken and Onion and Camembert tart.
Lindsey Shifley (Mundelein, Illinois) - A few of our in-town & out-of-town family stepped up to the cutting boards to show off their serious, mad veggie-chopping skills.
February's Challenge #2:
Recruiting volunteers is a great way to get out in your community and meet new people. On top of that, volunteers are essential in helping your everyday real food initiatives.
Marci Senise (Turin, Italy) - Getting loads of volunteers and events ready for the next month by the way! You guys will be proud of Turin! :))
Joelle Gillooly (Cary, North Carolina) - I sent an email out to recruit volunteers so far we have 10 and 4 kids! I hope you get more than 20 this year for Food Revolution Day.
February's Challenge #3:
Ambassadors understand the power of social media and use it to increase their outreach. We wanted to bring you some of the amazing Food Revolution accounts that are run by our wonderful team of volunteers. We listed some of our biggest cities so if you are interested in getting involved, feel free to reach out and click on any one of these great accounts.
