From Book Patrol: It started innocently enough. Over dinner a friend mentioned that he saw a used bookmobile for sale on Craigslist and wished he could by it. That was all the impetus Tom Corwin needed.
He was soon off to suburban Chicago to buy the decommissioned bookmobile. He paid $7500 for it.
Corwin has already garnered the support of the National Book Foundation, the Association of American Publishers and the American Library Association for the project and has signed a deal with Whitewater Films in Los Angeles for the documentary which will be titled "Behind the Wheel of the Bookmobile." The film will also include information on the history of bookmobiles.
Authors that have already signed up in support include Michael Chabon, Dave Eggers, Junot Diaz, Tom Robbins and Scott Turow, with many of them to take a turn at the wheel...here they are.

Hi guys...it's Will Manley here. I've had a blog at www.willmanley.com going for about 3 weeks. I would appreciate it if you could mention it. I'm a retired librarian and I write a column for American Libraries (Will's World) and Booklist (The Manley Arts). You can find an announcement of my blog at American Libraries .
Thanks for your consideration.
This will be my 3rd week into my first semester for my MLIS.
Here are some of my preconceived notions before the semester started:
The aim of the International Symposium on Emerging Trends and Technologies in Libraries and Information Services (ETTLIS-2010) is, once again, to bring researchers, academicians, business community and research scholars on a common platform to share their experiences, innovative ideas and research findings about the aspects of emerging trends and technologies in the field of knowledge resource centres and information services.

Hallmark Day
Work yesterday was rough, I don't know what brought all the patrons out but they came out in droves. I didn't have any time to check the Jets/Colts game on my phone at all, but I digress.
Introduction by Cory Doctorow: Our next guestblogger is the incomparable activist geek librarian Jessamyn West, who, along with other library-hackers like Jenny Levine are part of a movement to redefine librarianship in the information age. I've been enjoying Jessamyn's projects and thoughts for years and it's a delight to have her here. Here's her official bio:
I'm a library technologist working in rural Vermont teaching people on the back end of the digital divide how to use computers. I also help run MetaFilter.com, especially Ask MetaFilter and travel around the world talking about library technology issues. My blog, librarian.net talks a lot about the intersection of libraries, technology and politics.
I'm grumpy about the USA PATRIOT Act, threats to open access and bad laws shaping bad culture.
I like moss, snowshoeing, old books and the color orange.
Article from Publishers Weekly which mentions the ascending titles for these plus other prizes to be handed out by the ALA's ASLC and YALSA divisions next Monday.
Librarians have begun steadily posting results of mock Newbery discussions/events on the ALSC listserv. Consensus there appears to give the nod to When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead as the winner, with a variety of honors going to The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin, The Year the Swallows Came Early by Kathryn Fitzmaurice and All the Broken Pieces by Ann Burg. Calpurnia Tate and Where the Mountain Meets the Moon received a couple of first-place votes, too.

That is to say, the rookie quarterback has to have a short memory and put bad plays in the past as soon as they happen in order to move on to the next opportunity to prove himself.
The second-round quarterback threw a couple more interceptions on Saturday while taking part in his first padded NFL practice. He also had to take yet another penalty lap around the field for a botched snap.
Being a rookie at the most difficult position in the league to master as a young player, Garoppolo has dealt with early bumps this week on the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium. But he's not going to let those poor plays weigh him down mentally or cost him a chance to improve on each ensuing rep he gets.
"It's kind of that next-play mentality," Garoppolo said, parroting what he revealed is the best advice he's received so far from
"Just picking up the offense one day at a time, just bits and pieces here and there," Garoppolo said. "It's a process. There are going to be bumps along the way but you just have to learn and improve on that."
And while he may not yet nearly be ready to do as Brady does on the field, he's very capable of doing what the veteran says.
"You can't worry about the past," Garoppolo said of his various mistakes over the last three days. "You have to move on. Every play is just as important as the last play. So you kind of just have to move on."
Kelly off PUP
Veteran defensive tackleKelly took part in some drills and group work, although he obviously did not partake in any team action or contact work, other than being on the field for the field goal block unit to close out the workout.
Revis healthy, making plays
Though he played all 16 games in Tampa Bay a year ago and earned a Pro Bowl nod coming back from his 2012 torn ACL, Revis has made it clear he wasn't at his best. He expects to return to form this season for the Patriots.
"They say it takes a year and a half or two. I think I'm at a point now where I'm there," Revis said. "This offseason was a full offseason for me where I could just focus on working out instead of doing rehab as soon as you get the injury. I'm fine. I'm in the best shape of my career, and I'm looking forward to the season."
One thing that was a bit curious regarding Revis in the workout was his seemingly cutting a number of plays short. On a variety of reps he simply stopped running and turned back to the line of scrimmage while the receiver he was covering continued down or across the field.
Happy Birthday Danny Nickerson!
Saturday Kraft invited Nickerson and his family onto the practice field at the end of the workout where the entire team sang Happy Birthday to the young fan.
Nickerson made national news this week when he asked merely for cards for his birthday, which led to him receiving more than 100,000 pieces of mail in recent days.
Wilson working hard
Through the first three days of practice"I'm just trying to make progress every day and be consistent," Wilson said on a day when he hauled in a deflected interception. "I just try to take advantage of my opportunities. There are a lot of moving parts back there. You can't read into it too much."
And while some may think this is a make-or-break time for Wilson in New England, he simply ignores that noise.
"I don't really know what people say. I don't really read it too much," Wilson said. "I just try to focus on trying to become the best football player I can and being the best teammate, trying to bring everything I can to the team."
Stock Watch
Buy: Julian Edelman – Tom Brady's top target from a year ago has had a very good start to training camp catching seemingly everything thrown his way. Edelman has also held his own in battles with Revis andSell:
Play of the Day: Though the defense continues to get the better of the battle in the passing game early in camp,
One of the largest crowds ever took in the first padded workout of 2014 as 13,819 fans converged on the Gillette Stadium practice fields. … With the donning of shoulder pads, there was more work on the running game than in the first two days of practice. That included some bruising blocks by fullbackGronkowski not changing his style; Friday notebook>>

"Mmm... I surely hope so. That was the purpose of this appointment, to get me to relax right?" She said with a lazy chuckle. She began to hum a soft tune, seeminly in time with the chimes where she could get away with it. She felt her entire body loosen as the pressure started to melt away, and from the feel of it she had quite a lot of tension. It almost seemed as if she was drifting off to sleep, but she would keep humming that tune. Eventually she spoke a bit. "Wow... You are amazing... I feel so relaxed. I wonder if they use this as an interrogation method? I feel I could tell you anything in this relaxed state if you asked." She said in a happy voice, before continuing her humming.
Youay continued his work, focusing on certain parts.He stopped his chant to reply to her. "You should see what my master could do. He is leagues above me in chi technique.Though it is a nice experience, one has complete free will of what they want to do while I do this, so I find the interrogation uses limiting." He laughed slightly as he said this. "But if there is anything you want to talk about while I do this, it is quite all right. As my patient you have full rights of me never telling another soul.Keeping things locked inside you can be hard on the body."
"They do? Are you sure? I feel pretttty suggestive right now... Kinda like being drunk. Except I don't like being drunk. This feels much better. Drinking solves nothing..." She seemed to say in a dream like state. She let out another happy hum at his suggestion to talk about anything. "Hmm, indeed it can... And that is true... I never really had a doctor before. We apparently make the worst patients though." She said with a giggle. She sounded a little introspective for a bit before speaking. "Like one of my patients who I've become good friends with. What I'm about to say is ok though, it was as a social... Oh nevermind. Hmm... I'm too relaxed to really think of anything. So relaxed... But I'm sure I have something... Hmm... Oh right, my... Umm... Frustration? Haha, I'm no good at this. What problems should I have in my happy life? You ask the questions please, I'm getting lost." She said in her relaxed state.
Youay smiled as he continued. "It is true, this therapy had different affects on different people. But it's understandable." He hummed a moment before speaking up again. "So a happy life then, that's good. Its it because you have a nice boyfriend or something?"
Liana let out a relaxed giggle, though she seemed to be moving slightly causing the bra strap to move ever so slightly. "Oooh, that hit a sore point... Nope! No boyfriend at all! Sad Liana has no boyfriend to call her own... No, Lucy is whats making my life so happy right now. ANd helping people. But its better with Lucy now. She might be only my adopted child, but as far as I'm concerned she might as well of come from my own womb. Not that I have much time left. Nope, poor Liana will likely have no children of her own..." She said in her dreamy like state. "There was someone I was after, but there was... Too much in the way? Not that it matters. He's got a girlfriend now. And quite a nice woman to make him happy. Soooo jealous! Hehe, this is so relaxing..."
"Pardon me real quick." He reached down and undid the clasp of her bra right before it could interfere with one of the needles. "Sorry, that was about to knock a needle loose." He made sure everything was still in its proper place. He then looked down at her with a puzzled look. "Oh? What do you mean not much time left Liana?"
Liana giggled when Youay apologised. "Nothing to be sorry about. It was kinda cumbersome there anyway. Probably best to make sure I don't stand up before its re-clipped though." She lowers her voice to a whisper, but projects it. "I'd think I'd be somewhat embarrassed, even though its nothing you haven't seen before being a doctor and all." She gave another giggle. She let out a relaxed hum, though it was likely one of annoyance she was going for. "I'm 36 my good doctor, my eggs won't last too much longer. Likely not long enough for me to get into a good enough relationship to have children with. And they have to like Lucy. And the fact my mind has been touched by the void. Nooottt that easy is it now Youay dear. Hmm, have I taught Lucy about bra's? I think I have... Its wierd how they design some bra's to show off how much now would be with the bra strap the way it is. Funny huh?" She said in her relaxed state. She let out a hum. "So what do you think Youay? Would that cause some stress? Mmm..."
Youay shrugged. "Well, it's not like I try to catch a glimpse of the private areas of my female patients, not proper you know. But you gotta look and see where the patient has their issues. You probably think the same way about your male patients." He started tracing along her back from needle to needle working with her energy. "Your a good looking woman Liana, I am sure you will find a guy right for you. Being void touched and having someone like Lucy with you should be small beans if someone truly cares about you. Lucy is a good girl, and the void is barely noticeable. But yeah, I can see where a lot of the stress can come from. Especially when the subject of puberty pops up."
"Indeed, of course not. We're medical professionals. We're checking their health, not them out. Though sadly even being a professional its hard to say that some of the warriors look darn fine..." She hummed happily as Youay traced along, shivering slightly though it subsided quickly. "Perhaps maybe. I seem to find all the jerks and perverts, and the one guy I was interested in I couldn't even have the courage to ask directly. But the matron can be quite frightening at times. And I'm not that good looking, you're just saying that to be nice. Though it does sound nice comming from you. And I'd be nodding if I wasn't so relaxed and this would disrupt the procedure somewhat. I've even had some young girls and boys ask me if I'm alright when I have to explain it to some of them. And its the finding thats the hard part. I never seem to find the right ones. Never. How did you do it? How did you find that lovely girl of yours Youay?" She seemed to ask the question with a curious hum, still sounding very relaxed.
Youay shook his head. "I don't make it a habit to lie to make people feel better. You are a good looking woman, you would have to be blind otherwise." He looked up and and thought about it. "I met her in the med wing as a patient. She had a few problems that needed to be worked on in multiple visits. I may have made a impression on her and it we kind of hit it off after we had lunch together...I still don't know what happened to the lunch I packed that day though." He looked down at her and raised his hands as sat down near her, letting the energy flow through her on its own. "So, who was this guy you were interested in anyway?"

Maybe I had unrealistic expectations. I wanted clean floors, without streaks, that felt and smelt clean. While I know they are clean and they feel clean. The smell is a bit off putting, and well the streaks...I guess I will learn to live with them. Once I got the hang of using it, I am really coming to like it. I feel confident that my infant child can crawl on the floors without the need for chemicals to clean the floors. When our young puppy doesn't quite make it outside every time, that can be a huge relief as a mom to know the floors are super clean for the kiddos. If you want something simple to use that even a 5 year old can use (yes my 5 year helps clean the house) then you will love this.
We bought this after trying a friend's newer model. The newer model is $55 more expensive and has three settings, which this one does not. Hwoever, this one does come with multiple attachments and does an equally good job. It does require a little bit more effort than the newer model, but you are mopping the floor, it should take a little bit of effort. We are happy with the product/purchase.
used it once so far did a good job..
Unfortunately, someone cracked the handle off my old shark steamer and I couldn't do without another. It takes care of dust and smudges on my hardwood floors, gets into all the nooks and crannies on the tile in the bathroom. It handles laminate very well.
I returned this product a week after I received it. This product did not work at all. I honestly don't think they even tested this mop before it was sent to me. I know itwas refurbished but usually it should still work. I even bought the 2 year replacement warrenty but didn't even receive the info of it. Teaches me to never buy something refurbished. You can get this same product brand new for not to much more money. Do not get this refurbished. Also it took 2 weeks to even get to. Very slow shipping. Never even got a proper iinstruction manuel. Not happy. Hopefully I get a full refund not only for the mop but also for the warrenty.

Anobody's who actually had a chance to read the fineprint, would agree that its sketchy at best. Infact I feel there isn't anything like a "plan" in it. To start with, there isnt any specific mention of how the money is going to be used. Is it going to be used to buy mortgages from institutions? Is it going to be given to the banks as capital or as a bridge loan? Does the money go directly to the US taxpayer as a grant? What happens if $700 billion does not work?
Any proposal to get the economy out of the logjam has to answer two critical questions – what is the amount of capital needed and most importantly, how is the capital going to be allocated? The plan just answers the first one, and I must add partly. The second, to everybody's dismay, one remains completely unanswered.
The least the plan could've done was to set an arbitrary level of loss (depreciation in value of a house on which a mortgage has been taken) after which the Fed may take over an asset or provide a security cover, whichever way you please. That would've atleast set a realistic expectation for the financial institutions on how much their assets are worth in the worst case scenario and whether they need assistance or not. That also would've sent signals to the global investors indicating that yes, there are going to be losses, but "quantifiable" losses. Having seen big institutions go down, the crisis now is not only of capital adequacy, it is also one of credibility – how much everybody's actually worth.
One may add a few concessions to tax payers here and a few hundred million for social security there, but what the congress has essentially done by passing this plan is to kiss the Secretary of the Treasury on the forehead, arm him with 700 billion dollars and having put all their remaining hopes on him, sent him on a war to save to global economy.
More intimidating is the feeling that Bush might sacntion invasion of another oil-rich "rogue" state to partially finance this foray onto taxpayers' reserves in the long run. Nigeria may well be next.
Let's do a true or false quiz:The loan originators, who, if they made 3% off each loan are sought for some of the $2.1 B of hypothetical money made to help resolve the crisis? (T/F)The people who received subprime loans all stopped paying on the same day? (T/F)If the people didn't all stop paying at the same time, but the banks wrote off all of the loans at the same time, on the heels of record profits stated to ensure further growth, a concern of gross negligence regarding the banks fiduciary responsibilities should be examined? (T/F)Corporation is a noun for an ingenious device to pursue individual profit without individual risk? (T/F)Individuals who benefited from the creation of CDO's feel sorry for their actions and have helped commit a portion of their benefits to strengthen the liquidity situation? (T/F)There are no conservative healthy banks left in the country who would stand to benefit from having their risk discounting peers go bust? (T/F)With treasuries in such demand, the government could consider moving SS monies (well, you know what I mean) to the Corporate bond markets for strong companies, and have the SBA increase funding with above said banks or move into direct loans. (T/F)If a 20% down payment standard again became the norm, housing prices may fall to a level where building McMansions would become unprofitable. (T/F)It is proven as a matter of fact that humans cannot live in smaller homes that require less maintenance, utilities and generate fewer property taxes. (T/F)The percentage of profits of financial institutions compared to all industries has been at an acceptable rate for the past few years. (T/F)Finally, the Bush administration and his cronies put into various positions have often displayed the wisdom to solve problems, economic ingenuity, integrity from special interests and a willingness to be open with details that merit him blind faith to be charged with such an endeavor. (T/F)As my own little litmus test this weekend, I received a home loan approval yesterday for /> 4x my gross salary at < 6% interest that I applied for on Friday over the internet. (T/T)
Capitulation describes the recent major market sell off, and the feeling that the American people have towards their government about to sell them out. Inflationary cash creation to create liquidity is that boil on America's neck, eventually it will pop.
Congress's proposed market bailout, at the dismay of the American people, is akin the illegal tax that Edmund Burke once railed about 'Would twenty shillings have ruined Mr Hampden's fortune? No! but the payment of half twenty shillings, on the principle it was demanded, would have made him a slave'.
Taxpayers cannot afford to be mulcted at will especially when 1 dollar of new equity may only support 10 in assets. Even if this were true it's only some relief to that nasty debt boil.
It will take Trillions, and not millions—inflation will be the new tax that will enslave Americans for the benefit of a few.
If the issues is liquidity for the banking system why not use the 700 billion to start an IRA form every citizen/legal resident age 30 and under which is locked in the account until they reach age 59 and 1/2 or die. If the person dies before say age 20 half the account goes back to the government and the half goes to survivors.
Banks can loan money where loans are judged worthy!
Wall Street does not get their mess paid.
Banks giving bad loans write off debt and go out of business if they are not judge worthy by the "Market".
The young will eventually have to pay the debt in taxes so they might get a tax credit for adding to the IRA and earn interest.
This is a way to teach saving to our children.
We are helping our children (future American children) not "Fat Cats". Let them borrow their way out of debt or go belly up.
The "public" won't be angry about cleaning up "Wall Street's mess" that will destroy us all if left unattended.
Economies of scale. I always thought that the fed should raise rates as it would force businesses to liquidate their inventories raise cash and pay down debt. But low interest rates are the quid pro quo to an expanding economy so the problem can not be found in monetary policy. It can be more likely found in the way the consumer who is also the taxpayer has been encouraged to borrow as a way to stimulate economic growth. In my short life I have seen more credit offered than gainful employment, more price inflation and higher taxes than wage increases and finding work has been growing ever more difficult, now I hear that the bankers who where encouraged to lend are going to be bailed out. Where is the logic? Is the banker than going to raise my credit limit so i can buy some more? As a student of history I heard faint arguments that the civil war was fought to promote a wage labor economy as opposed to a slave labor one. That we fought communism to promote a capitalist democracy were people have the vote and a free market economy where consumerism is the path to an improved standard of living . So why are we now promoting a society managed by debt? Why is the government trying to save a system that works for big business networks and leaves the individual hanging? Like NAFTA in Canada the politicians argued that trade would be tariff and duty free as well as easier to cross the border. Yet Canada adopted a value added tax which is collected at the border making cross border trade for the individual more expensive and time consuming. Yet for big business, they can slip a semi trailer across the border faster than you can get a car with one individual across. It is almost as if the individuals have become a problem for the economy. One could argue that politicians, businessmen and economists have theoretically engineered economic growth in such a way that in their models the individual economic unit is risk which can not be predicted and therefore must be by passed. Now that this society has been created how is the wage issue going to be resolved? And for those of you who don't know what a wage is; it is something which ordinary people earn to pay their way through life. This idea of promoting housing inflation to keep credit lines fluid is like an adrenaline boost but for the long run a steady wage .....
You gotta spend money to make money. Economics 101 right?? Wrong.....
Why spend 700 billion dollars to get us out of debt? Wouldn't that just put us 700 billion dollars more in debt? Then when you go to pay back the debt, just pretty much pay back the 700 billion dollars that you just spent? Defeating the whole purpose of what you were trying to do? Say you spend 700 billion dollars to bail out wall street. In general when you give them 700 billion dollars there going to use that to pay you back. You might not even see all of it in return. But with this, WE ALL WOULD SEE SOMETHING IN RETURN!!!
For everyone out there this this is a solid investment, one in which you really cant turn down. You invest absolutely nothing. I mean nothing! and you become rich. In fact everyone gets rich. Needless to say this could be;
100% profit for the government. This idea takes the opposite of what everyone does, like tax us which in turn pinch's our pockets. This time instead of raising taxes and inflating prices to help pay off everything. Or just spend money that will pretty much pay back what we just spent, defeating the purpose of what you were trying to do. I think we take money and lower its value on the economy to half or more causing all of us TO HAVE MORE MONEY IN OUR POCKETS!
Which will make us spend more, which gives you more. All of which will be profit for guys to spend on whatever. If we can lower everything, then producers can buy and make more goods cheaper. Which means more product and more demand. With more money in our pockets and more money to spend, means the more product we buy. Which if cut in half could be double of what we would have brought before.
Its simple if you make money not on issue, then money is indeed not an issue. So in return we spend on everything mostly because with money staying the same for us, but prices going down means more money to be spent on whatever. If we spend then you guys get more of what you would have before. So for you guys the investors the bankers and congress whoever..
Buy cutting prices in half or more gives you more money to spend on whatever. Plus if prices are cheaper, then you have to spend less to buy things and make things like roads and bridges and everything that needs to be done. Pretty much by doing that you would see double that maybe more money in your pockets. With all that money coming in, maybe being invested, getting paid off, and the fact that its cheaper means you can buy more for less. Get more for less. Pay less for more. You get the deal of the century here. All for absolutely nothing. In Fact We All DO!!
It would make us all overnight millionaires. For the Millionaires maybe billionaires. Just because we have more bang for are buck. In general the rich are rich, because they can buy more then everyone else and not care. Well why not do that for everyone? If everyone is seeing this, then that's more money then you would be getting now. Money is going to stay the same and prices are going down, so the gains would get bigger if not a lot bigger. You would see what you get now in return, and then a lot more. Plus you can buy more goods for cheap, so you can fix more and do more for the country for less. How can anyone turn this deal down???
I'm just having a hard time trying to fit every possible thing down this will do. I guess its like the stimulus checks without the checks. Thats what they were trying to do the first time, well this could do it just as good, for FREE.
One of the best things is that, we can spend tons of money without wasting it. It would be more economically sensible the way things would work. Know what I mean? The way people say that's the smartest way to spend money. Like walking into a grocery store with 2 dollars and coming out with four or more things. Well it would be like that everywhere everyday.
No money, to get money!!! seems unbelieveable.
Plus if things did get worse it wouldn't ever be like the great depression again. We would still be able to buy things because we can still afford to buy and make things. So not having to invest anything or spend anything, turns into more money in your pockets that would be spent more economically. Even if you did spend 700 billion dollars It would be spent a lot better then it would have before.
I personally feel that taxpayers in the US should not bail out the bankers.
If a few bankers go under, it will teach them a lesson not to do sloppy business of giving credit without regarding risk and responsibility and waiting to be bailed out upon threat of a global crisis. This is just like blackmail and ransome. What the US government needs is to give business a lesson in ethics and governance and the only lesson they understand is one where money is involved. Its not legislations like SOX which are going to make a difference to governance.
There is nothing stopping banks from issuing new shares at realisitically low market prices reflecting their current management skills. At low enough issue prices, they will get enough liquidity. Also, this way the risk is borne by those who know that risk means upswings AND downswings: the players in the financial markets.
The new shareholders can then find better managers and share prices will go back after the losses have been absorbed.
Arvind Ashta
"... one crucial point is that Japanese and Koreans along with most Asians are naturally conservative and they will be reluctant to spend after getting hit by a major disaster.
Americans on the other hand are natural optimists and will forget the crisis soon, and will get back to their spending ways. This crucial psychological difference must be taken into account during the bailout."
Could you please drive this point a bit further. Would you think Asian Countries WISH that the American consumer re-starts consuming for more indebtedness? I think its clear by and large Asian countries would like to continue to export goods to the US, but would they wish to do so and see their pile of USD denominated currency reserves rise even more? Or would they prefer to get goods and services back in return, i.e. get closer to balance of payments equilibrium?
Honest US tax payers will shoulder the burden of this recovery and these same taxpayers should be the primary and direct beneficiaries of any relief effort.
Rather than showering money onto the financially foolish homeowners and financial corporations while hoping that it drips back to taxpayers, the majority of credit should be provided to responsible private citizens. They are in the best position to directly revitalize the real estate market and our economy with the least cost and risk.
Long-term, low interest, no-fee real estate loans should be directly available (through the newly acquired GSEs) to QUALIFIED taxpayers. These loans should be below US Treasury rates (the 10y note is 3.85%) and up to the level of the applicant's stringently determined credit capacity. Responsible borrowers could then purchase and re-invest in property and immediately reverse declining real estate valuations.
Providing more money to those who have already proven they can't handle it is insane. The real solution is to increase real estate buying power for those who can responsibly manage debt.
makes my head spin to go through all the complexities of how we are screw'd
US already has bailout programs for those in financial distress: Food Stamps, Medicaid, Housing Assistance and such. Paulson's program of bailing out Wall Street should refer the victims to the appropriate state and federal agencies that run the named programs. In other words, the cries of bailout issued under "to-big-to fail," and "perception is reality" doctrines is nothing but an attempt to legitimize the protection of the rich investors.Now, more seriously, The Economist quotes official federal numbers about GDP, unemployment - "unemployment is just over 6%" - etc; those numbers are not reflective of economic reality but are crunched up to give the illusion of a somewhat solid economy - cf. "perception is reality" mantra. Depending on how one wants to define and calculate unemployment, the numbers are around 10-14% unemployment rate. Real GDP is anyone's guess.Total US households worth is estimated at $57. Trillions (cf.http://henryckliu.com/page169.html - Too Big to Fail versus Moral Hazard)while total public and private debt is estimated at $50Trillions. Americans will not die in the streets tomorrow without bailout. On the other hand, though, this enormous debt severely constraints the purchasing ability of the majority of the population; since the buyers cannot vote with their (non-existent) dollars, the resources are no longer allocated via free markets to the most efficient producers. More and more Americans buy whatever Wall Mart (lowest wages strategist) offers them; thus, incentives to enter innovative, higher quality products to the market are reduced, economic opportunities are lost, monopolistic inefficiency is disguised in "always low prices."Instead, an oligarchy of banks CEO's, rich investors, and politicians make the economical decisions that matter - with the obvious result that the richer get more powerful and the poor poorer.The Economist article's main idea of the conclusions paragraph "[y]et predictions of a sea change towards more invasive government are premature" is correct. The 'to-big-to-fail' and 'perception is reality' doctrines will dictate US economical and political decisions as long as the two-parties-only system and the Wall Street access to them will last - that is, till the oil wells (and the petrodollar) will have dried off.
Peter,An honest banking system need little regulation because the banks are then SOLVENT with 100% reserves.The US has a government backed banking cartel which allows the banks to practice fractional reserve banking. The banks can and do create money (credit) out of nothing.The solution is "free" banking with 100% reserve requirements. The "reserves" can be anything but no more issuance of fraudulent claims to those reserves as is the case today.
It should be clear to everybody what the cause for the financial crises is: Overspending by the USA on every level: Federal and state governments, individuals (negative savings rates for decades) as well as the nation ($800 Billions of trade deficit for years). Now this debt can not get financed any longer. I do not see how Paulson's $700 Billion will change any of that, other than further indepting all US Taxpayers as well, and get them on Wall Streets's hooks as well. I am amazed and astonished that noone even talks about this fundamental root cause of the problem, and all follow the leading camels into the abyss....
See the movie http://www.iousathemovie.com, where the bi-partisan law makers and bankers have given the prognosis if not the diagnosis of things to come. Wait till 2040, when the social security and medicare goes bust. The financial crisis of today,in USA,is just the TIP of the iceberg. It is an irony, that the family unit (in USA) over the last three decade has gone SMALLER and the houses have gone BIGGER. Something to think about...
Balaji-Vish there is another crucial difference between what happened in Sweden Japan and the US. The US has enjoyed the advantage of having its currency as the default world currency.and since oil is traded in US dollars and Nixon removed the gold backing of the dollar - any devaluation of the dollar is passed on to the rest of the world.its also not a question of optimism on the part of US citizens, rather entitlement - everyone has to have huge homes, big screen tvs, big suvs etc.. Remember when families had one vehicle - kids had to share bedrooms? and they are also saving less and are further in debt, at some point the debt has to be paid. HOw long will the international community put up with fake US dollars.
I agree with a lot of what Ron Paul has to say,however I dont see your point Stevestip about Hayek - Hayeks whole philosophy was based on de-regulation which caused this whole mess.
A lot of people compare the current crisis with those of Japan, Korea and Sweden. But, one crucial point is that Japanese and Koreans along with most Asians are naturally conservative and they will be reluctant to spend after getting hit by a major disaster.Americans on the other hand are natural optimists and will forget the crisis soon, and will get back to their spending ways. This crucial psychological difference must be taken into account during the bailout. If the basic banking structures are prevented from collapse, this natural optimism will bring the economy out of crisis. I know of so many my friends who are trying to get into housing market now and get bargains. And so many people are trying to repay their loans fast and also get back into equity markets because they are not getting enough interest rates in money market. Without this crucial force Japanese had to languish in their crisis for a long time.
Fractional Reserve Banking:How strange that a banking system based on Fraud and Theft (via inflation) should cause financial disaster. All this was predicted by Ludvig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, and Murray N. Rothbard. What will it be this time, more fascism or more socialism? ANYTHING but an honest banking systemseems to be the rule.Vote Ron Paul in 2012 unless you enjoy long depressions.
If possible to find out, Mssrs FDWilliams, your comments suggest that you have a background as an economist and one with direct knowledge of the Great Depression. Your comments on this and other articles related to this current crisis are insightful. Thank you.

Future Exhibitions
Brian Wall: Squaring the CircleApril 10 - June 14, 2015Guest curated by Dr. Peter Selz and Sue Kubly, Squaring the Circle investigates the recent work of British-born Bay Area sculptor Brian Wall. For more than sixty years Wall has worked with steel to build compelling, abstract, large-scale sculptures. Though created from simple forms, his works are far from simplistic. Composed of multiple parts welded together—some cantilevered, others balancing precariously on a single point—his pieces appear at risk of launching into motion at any moment. MORE » |

FISCAL CLIFF Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner engaged in high-stakes negotiations over a deal to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff" that would trigger automatic tax hikes and spending cuts. The leaders narrowed some differences on Social Security and tax rates for the wealthy, but faced intense pressure from their bases to resist certain compromises.WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 07: Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) talks with reporters outside his office in the U.S. Capitol December 7, 2012 in Washington, DC. Boehner said he could not report on progress in the negotiations between Congress and the White House on budget negotiations because there has not been any progress. Boehner called President Barack Obama's remarks about the possibility of going over the so-called fiscal cliff 'reckless.' (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

Pokemon HeartGold Version

Think there will be a Crystal Remake?

I'm just asking because I always wait for the third version I waited for Emerald and Platinum, and I always seem more pleased and save myself from buying multiple versions. Then again the whole online trading has defeated the purpose of buying multiple versions. Which is a good thing. So I'm just curious what you guys think. --- "Nobody is perfect...That is of course until you fall in love with them..." - Cloud Strife Playing: ToL, TotW:RM, FFXIIIDemo ~ Watching: FMA, DBK | |
No. --- I said I wouldn't go back on GameFAQS unless a G/S remake was announced. Sooooo welcome back GameFAQS! | |
I've questioned that myself. Will yellow, crystal, etc, ever get remade? I'm thinking there's a small chance that they remake these "Perfect Versions" on a console. --- Yes, I am that perfect... Pokemon Platinum FC: 3394 9814 2815 | |
omg.. there are so many of such topic. Why would crystal wants to be remade when the remade of gold/silver would surely include updated version of a crystal.. rather than remaking 'gold/silver' they actually remade the whole 2nd gen. That's why they doesnt need a yellow for remade. And 2 times remakes of the 2nd gen seems pointless to me when guys, look, ITS TIME FOR NEW THINGS. --- PLATINUM FC: 3996 2840 0783 | |
If they sell enough, I can guarantee you there will be a Crystal remake. These games really aren't going by trends anymore, if GS sell well enough I'm sure Nintendo will remake Crystal as well. Not to sound like a GS fanboy but there is just too much potential with these remakes. Say what you want, but the majority loved this generation the best out of the GB/GBC games and if Nintendo is smart and incorporates most of the features D/P/P have and expand/rework on things that made G/S standout, G/S will kill. With that said, if the sales and acclaim is there (which I believe will be the case) I get they will remake Crystal as well. The only reason they won't is if they take their time with HG/SS and add everything they would have put on hold for a Crystal remake. Personally, I don't care if Crystal gets remade, as long as its big as Platinum (in terms of stuff to do and areas to explore) that's all that matters to me. --- If you wanted to be in the lead you'd get in front of me... A#1 Roller Rager - CKY | |
I doubt Crystal will be remade because if it were to be we would have a Yellow remake by now... --- Diamond ENG FC: 5197 8921 8168 Name: C.J | |
I don't really want to repeat but... the ds card has more memory space and capable of letting the gamefreak pull out their fullest potential making these remakes. By making another 2nd gen remake (crystal) is like telling people that they don't put effort for the gold/silver remake. And then how long it would take crystal to be remake again? --- PLATINUM FC: 3996 2840 0783 | |
Navex | Posted 5/9/2009 2:55:44 AM | message detail If they sell enough, I can guarantee you there will be a Crystal remake. Really? Thanks for your inside information... --- CAPO Who dares wins. | |
I don't think crystal will be remade. from what I can tell the remakes will stay duos where as the new games will be trios. originals: Red-Blue-Yellow Gold-Ssilver-Crystal Ruby-Sapphire-Emerald Diamond-Pearl-Platinum remakes: Fire Red-Leaf Green New Gold-New SIlver | |
No. After all LF and FR didn't get the perfect version remake either. And honestly they could just remake Crystal and drop Gold and Silver for that matter if they would go down that road. |

Qurans Burned in Afghanistan Reportedly Contained Extremist Messages
Update: A military official says Muslim holy books that were burned in a pile of garbage at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan had been removed from a library at a nearby detention center because they contained extremist messages or inscriptions. A military official with knowledge of the incident told The Associated Press on Tuesday that it appeared the Qurans and other Islamic readings were being used to fuel extremism, and that detainees apparently were leaving notes for one another inside them. The official, who did not want his nationality disclosed, spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the incident. The top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan says the books were inadvertently given to troops for burning.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - More than 2,000 angry Afghans, some firing guns in the air, protested on Tuesday against the improper disposal and burning of Qurans and other Islamic religious materials at an American air base.
Gen. John Allen, the U.S. commander of international troops in Afghanistan, has ordered an investigation into the incident.
The demonstrators -- shouting "Die, die, foreigners!" -- started gathering in the morning after learning of the incident at the sprawling Bagram Air Field in Parwan province. As the crowd grew, so did the outrage.
Ahmad Zaki Zahed, chief of the provincial council, said U.S. military officials gave him about 30 Qurans and other religious books that were recovered before they were destroyed.
"Some are burned. Some are not burned," Zahed said, adding that the books were used by detainees once incarcerated at the base.
The materials were in trash that two soldiers with the U.S.-led coalition transported in a truck late Monday night to a pit where garbage is burned on the base, according to Zahed, who spoke with five Afghans working at the pit. He said that when the workers noticed the religious books in the trash, they stopped the disposal process.
Allen said he received a report overnight that "a large number of Islamic religious materials, which included Qurans," had been improperly disposed of at the base.
"We are thoroughly investigating the incident and are taking steps to ensure this does not ever happen again," Allen said in a statement. "I assure you, I promise you, this was not intentional in any way."
He offered his apologies to the president and people of Afghanistan and thanked the local Afghans "who helped us identify the error, and who worked with us to immediately take corrective action."
Zia Ul Rahman, deputy provincial police chief, said between 2,000 and 2,500 protesters were demonstrating at the base.
"The people are very angry. The mood is very negative," Rahman said. "Some are firing hunting guns in the air, but there have been no casualties."
Police said a similar protest on Tuesday just east of Kabul ended peacefully.
In April 2011, Afghans protesting the burning of a Quran by a Florida pastor turned deadly when gunmen in the crowd stormed a U.N. compound in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif and killed three staffers and four Nepalese guards.

OK... there's an easy fix for every complicated problem, and Jared Kidd showed me :) But (there's always a but) this leads me to another problem. When starting Quake 3, I get this: ------- sound initialization ------- ------------------------------------ Received signal 11, exiting... as the last 3 lines of output. I thought this problem was related with my previous one, but it isn't :(. I am in the lucky posession of 2 sound cards, one onboard (Via 686B southbridge) and one card (Aureal Vortex 2). The drivers for the Aureal Vortex 2 are not reliable enough yet, so I use the card only for music etc, and the onboard card for stuff like games and normal sounds. The onboard sound is normally /dev/dsp, the vortex 2 is /dev/dsp1. When I rename /dev/dsp to something else, and then rename dsp1 to dsp, the game works and I get sound! Whoohoo! But there's something wrong with the VIA 686B drivers apperantly. My friend (yes, again my friend ;) has only a sb live! (no onboard sound) that's configured as /dev/dsp as well. He gets exactly the same error as above. Could this be a kernel-sound-driver problem? (The au8830 driver I use is only available as an external module.. and it still sucks, then) So let me rephrase the question. Is anybody running Q3A with kernel 2.4.5+ (2.4.5 is the latest kernel that worked here) and kernel sound drivers who has no problems or whatsoever? TIA -- There is no programming language, no matter how structured, that will prevent programmers from writing bad programs. - L.

Why Synovus Financial (SNV) Stock Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Synovus Financial (SNV - Get Report) was gaining 1.9% to $3.23 Monday on news that Citadel Advisors has taken a stake in the company.
Citadel Advisors announced Monday that it has taken a 5.2% passive stake in Synovus Financial.
The news comes shortly before a planned 1:7 reverse stock split that will take place on May 16. Post-split shares of Synovus will begin trading on May 19.
Must read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates SYNOVUS FINANCIAL CORP as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate SYNOVUS FINANCIAL CORP (SNV) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, expanding profit margins and increase in stock price during the past year. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company's return on equity has been disappointing." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Commercial Banks industry. The net income increased by 63.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $29.57 million to $48.42 million.
- The gross profit margin for SYNOVUS FINANCIAL CORP is currently very high, coming in at 87.23%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 16.53% is above that of the industry average.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. We feel that the combination of its price rise over the last year and its current price-to-earnings ratio relative to its industry tend to reduce its upside potential.
- Regardless of the drop in revenue, the company managed to outperform against the industry average of 9.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 0.8%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. When compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market, SYNOVUS FINANCIAL CORP's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Police are considering toughening Thai law against child pornography, which many observers agree is too weak.
The move was unveiled on Tuesday at a meeting between Thai and international police in Bangkok.
Thai police are seen as lacking in enthusiasm to tackle this type of crime.

Yum! Brands has announced that it is directing $1.5 million from its World Hunger Relief global effort to provide food to families affected by the recent typhoon in the Philippines. The funds will help the United Nations World Food Programme feed those in urgent need of food assistance.
According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, 9.6 million people are affected across 41 provinces, with more than 615,000 people displaced. These preliminary figures will likely increase as more information becomes available.
"The situation in the Philippines is devastating, and our sympathies go out to everyone impacted by the typhoon," David Novak, chairman and CEO of Yum! Brands, said in the announcement. "The $1.5 million that we are sending will provide more than 6 million meals to those in need."
With more than 385 restaurants in the Philippines, Yum! is also providing up to $50,000 through its Yum! Family Fund to help employees and their families affected by the storm get assistance.
