Sister of slain Tecumseh man seeks answers
But those stories came to a halt in April 2008 when skeletal remains were found by a mushroom hunter in a field in Earlsboro, about 50 miles southeast of Oklahoma City. The family had a feeling the remains belonged to their Dustin.
The state medical examiner's office reported that 49 human bones were recovered, and a DNA sample from James Bench linked the bones to his son.
Jamie Bench said she received the confirmation in February 2009. She said the news was surreal, but she was glad the family was finally able to lay him to rest at a memorial in March 2009.
"It was a relief because you don't have to look at every face you passed."
Investigators said no clothing was found. The cause of death remains undetermined.
Investigators with the Pottawatomie County sheriff's office have been following up on leads in the case. Capt. J.T. Palmer said they are investigating it as a homicide because officials also uncovered what they think is a .22-caliber bullet.
Asking questions
Investigators have interviewed more than 100 people, including some residents of other states, such as Kentucky.
"Anybody at any age that is kidnapped, murdered, dumped in a field, it's a horrific crime for not only our victims but for our families," Palmer said. "The Bench family went seven, eight years without knowing.
"They got to bury him, but now they get to see who gets punishment for them. We're doing this for the Bench family," he said.
Three and one-half years since the remains were found, Palmer said he believes investigators are getting close.
"I'll never lose hope on a case," he said. "I think there's someone who knows something."
Life goes on
Jamie Bench now has her brother's cat eye ring, which was found with his remains. She keeps it with her as a reminder.
"I feel like I have a piece of him back," she said, clutching the ring in her fist.
She has also started studying forensic science in college, intending to become a pathologist. She said watching authorities work on her brother's case has inspired her to help other families someday.
"I really believe everything happens for a reason," she said.
"Knowing what they're going through, that might give me a touch of compassion."
How to help
Anyone with information about the death or disappearance of Dustin Bench should call the Pottawatomie County sheriff's office at 275-2526.

The National Highways Authority of India is likely to take up four new projects this year for four-laning of highways of a total length of 412 km in Rajasthan at an investment of Rs.3,815 crore. The proposed segments are Beawar-Pali and Pali-Pindwara sections on National Highway No.14, Reengus-Sikar section on National Highway-11 and Deoli-Kota section on National Highway-12.
According to Union Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways Mahadeo Singh Khandela, the new projects would be besides the three ongoing projects -- six-laning of Kishengarh-Beawar section of National Highway-8, four-laning of Jaipur-Reengus section of National Highway-11 and four-laning of Jaipur-Tonk Deoli section of National Highway-12.
"Once complete, these highways, altogether measuring 295 km, will be of world-class quality," Mr. Kandela asserted. The total investment on these three projects would be Rs.1,855 crore.
Mr. Khandela was here to review the progress of ongoing construction of highways in the State and to discuss their maintenance and needs of inter-State connectivity and roads joining places of economic importance.
Talking about new projects, Mr. Khandela said there was a proposal to take up three projects to convert State Highways into National Highways. They are: Jaipur-Jobner-Kuchaman-Phalodi; Bharatpur-Alwar-Kotputli-Reengus-Sikar-Salasar; and Mandalgarh-Bhilwara-Desuri-Jalore-Bamer. A consultant for the proposed ring road for Jaipur also has been appointed, he said.
Responding to a question, Mr. Khandela said work on the Kota-Udaipur section, held up after the collapse of an under-construction bridge near Kota this past December 24, would be resumed in March. The inquiry report would be ready by then and the National Highways Authority of India implementing the project would resume the work whatever the findings, he said. The accident had resulted in the death of 48 persons, mostly labourers who got trapped under steel and concrete.
The Central Roads Fund under the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has approved for the current year 679 km of roads in Rajasthan at a cost of Rs.331.72 crore. The Ministry is in the process of approving an additional 361 km at a cost of Rs.178.52 crores under CRF, Mr. Khandela informed.
Along with the projects under consideration the total roads approved under the Central Roads Fund for Rajasthan would be 1,040 km. Besides, an amount of Rs.82.47 crore has been approved for inter-State connectivity and another Rs.29.96 crore for roads connecting places of economic importance.

ok, you are president for a day. What's your solution smarty pants? What would you do different than George jr? Or Barack for that-matter?Friend --
There's a lot of noise and talk and back-and-forth going on in Washington, but hardly any of it seems to be about the struggles that middle-class families face.
When I was growing up, a family like mine -- living on my hard-working father's salary at the city water plant -- could build a solid life without much debt and without relying on any form of public assistance. Today, for too many families, that American promise is no longer within reach.
Barack is working to fix that, to give all families a fair shot. And he needs solid Democrats in Congress to help him.
I'm asking you to be part of the team working to elect more Democrats in Washington and across the country. Sign up today.
It's easy to get frustrated and cynical about politics. Now that the excitement of the presidential campaign has faded, it is so tempting to wait another four years to re-engage.
But make no mistake about it -- while some are tuning out, others are tuning in. They're doing everything they can to make their voices heard. We're seeing the effects of that kind of imbalance every single day.
I know we can make our country a better place to live, for ourselves and our grandchildren, but Barack cannot do it alone. He needs people like you to get involved right now:
P.S.-- Please don't wait for the next presidential election to get involved -- we've got to get going right now. That's the only way we'll get it done.
Sounds like they need more manure spreaders.

First, a balanced budget amendment, we stop borrowing money, we spend only what we take in.
All programs cut by one percent each year for four years.
Negotiate in earnest with the opposition party, compromise on all issues and bring the country together again instead of disenfranchising half of the population every four years.
Term limits for political office, no more professional congress or senate. Serve for four years and go home. All laws apply to elected officials. Reduce the size of government by 3 percent each year for four years, across the board.
Make welfare and unemployment and all subsidy programs temporary, focus on restoring people to the dignity they deserve.
We have to restore financial stability first, the rest will follow.
There, that should give you a wealth of cannon fodder for your ad hominem assualts. Proceed counselor.

Super Slim TV measures only half an inch thick
While the main focus of Sharp's morning keynote was the new Beyond 4K Ultra HD TV, some time was also spent showing off an upcoming Super Slim 4K set. While most details are still unknown, the TV will become available towards the end of 2015 in a 70-inch model. The Super Slim model will very closely mirror the features found in the also-announced UE30 and UH30 TVs, but in a form factor that measures only half an inch thick (excluding the set mount). Beyond Sharp's own SmartCentral 4.0 platform, the Super Slim TV will also include Google's Android TV.

We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
This video shows you how to add transmission fluid to your 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Before adding transmission fluid, make sure that your engine was running when you checked the fluid level. If the transmission fluid level on your Grand Cherokee is low, you need to add fluid through the dipstick tube. Jeep has been developed sophisticated transmissions through years and it is critical that you add the exact type of transmission fluid stipulated by your owner's manual (typically in the back of the manual in a section titled Fluid Capacities.) When adding transmission fluid to your Grand Cherokee, be sure to add it slowly as the transmission fluid capacity is reached quickly and it is difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill.
If you are having problems with the transmission in your Grand Cherokee, such as clunky shifting or hesitation, check the fluid level first - it is amazing how many drivers pay thousands of dollars for transmission work when a half quart of transmission fluid would have fixed the problem.

Enjoyed hearing the Picasso information. Guide was not as interactive as I would have liked and the fact that we had three other guides shadowing her was distracting. I would definitely use this tour guide company again.

This was the perfect "hands on" way to learn about and enjoy the cheese of Paris. The shop is a two generation family affair (Father and Daughter) and the large cellar level under the store which houses the maturation room (wall to wall cheeses) is where everything takes place. Pierre, who also has a winery background, has set up the homey space with all sorts of displays that bring his story of the history of cheese to life. He is warm, extremely knowledgeable and made both the art and science of cheese making come to life in the "presentation" portion of the session. The cheese tasting part was fabulous and set up just like a great wine tasting. It included generous helpings of six very different (and fabulous) cheeses, baguette, apples (for palate cleansing) and both a red and white wine. As both a wine and cheese expert, Pierre provided great insights on the art of pairing wine and cheese, in addition to his guidance on the cheese tasting itself. It was a great way to savor one of the best Paris foods in a relaxing atmosphere, and the time of day/area made it easy to fit this activity into a packed schedule of site seeing. It is very near the Picasso and Pompidou museums in the Marais district.

The hop on hop off bus takes 2 hours and is very limited in terms of where it stops. In contrast, the hop on hop off bus was great when we took it in Dublin but it's not worth it in Paris. The 2 day metro pass was good but the steps were too difficult for my elderly parents. It's really not practical to see more than one or two museums per day and so this pass is just to expensive to be worthwhile. Note that the new Picasso museum is NOT included.
Doing what: Paris Pass
Marion, our guide, gave us many intersting stories as we trekked through Monmartre by foot. Don't do this unless you are used to walking uphill. Part of the tour included going by Dalida- an Egytian singer's home; St. Denis' statue; an ancient vineyard; and a path bordering a philosopher's home which have nothing to do with Impressionist art. We were shown a street leading to Van Gogh's home but did not go there. We sldo stopped outside the studio where Picasso worked and lived for a time. we ended at the top of the hill at Sacre Coeur. The trickets to the Musee d'Orsay was great but only had 2 hours there by the time we took the Metro there.

A great day out. For me the highlight was the canal trip. But I also found two unexpected treats - exhibitions by Picasso and others, and another one by Dali. Fabulous. I hate to be a killjoy - but you are not buying Belgian hand-made lace at such prices. The majority comes from China. It is still hand-made. And you bought it in Belgium.

Gil was great-he not only showed the historical spots where Renoir painted several of his masterpieces as well as where Braque and Picasso lived. But he also showed us examples of current street art and told us about the street art scene. Very informative.

A nice contrast to the downtown tourist areas, even if you're not interested in Picasso's misbehavior.
Doing what: Montmartre and Sacre Coeur Walking Tour in Paris
A wonderful afternoon was had on this tour of Montmartre with our wonderful tour guide. She was friendly and informative. She gave us plenty of time to climb the steep streets of Montmartre and explained so much about the culture of this area of Paris especially at the start of the 20th century. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to learn more of the cultural side of Paris and see where famous painters such as Picasso lived and worked. The tour concluded at Sacre Coeur at the top of Montmartre, where we could then choose to stay as little or as long as we liked. The guide supplied us with a map to show us how to get to where we wanted to go following Sacre Coeur. This was one of the highlights of our European trip.

Excellent, entertaining, and informative tour. The insight into the various personalities who have graced Montmartre with their presence over the years was great, particularly the artists, such as Picasso, Braque, Modigliani, and of course Toulouse-Lautrec. The duration of the course was just about right.

Historical Traveler Reviews BEST WESTERN Dublin Skylon Hotel
Great Place, friendly Staff
My wife and I stayed at the Skylon hotel in February.We had just flown in from Australia and were very tired.Upon arriving at the hotel we were greeted by a warm welcome from the friendly reception and were in our room within 5 minutes.The room was clean and modern,well heated and spacious.The following evening we had dinner in the hotel resteraunt which was one of the nicest meals we have ever had and a great price.The staff at the hotel were fantastic and helped us with any queries we had.City was only 5 minutes away by bus and the taxi from the Airport cost us around 10 euros.I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to visit dublin.
Hated the Skylon Hotel!
We stayed in the Skylon for two nights - 5th and 6th Match 2005 and paid EUR130.80 per room per night. We booked it using their website. Don't do it! Friends of ours booked at the hotel and got a rate of EUR99 for what they maintain was a nicer room. The website reservations company charged us EUR43 for the privilege of booking with them. They say it is a deposit. Never again!
On checking in, the receptionist made an embarrassingly big deal about two men checking into a double room. Our room stank of smoke. The water in the bathroom was luke warm, even with the shower dial on maximum temperature. The bath water leaked into our bedroom. The TV was ancient. The room itself was small with very tired decor. The windows only opened about two inches. Window frames were absolutely filthy. It was disgusting. Walls are paper thin. The couple next door had a row at 5 in the morning and you could hear every word. I would not recommend that Skylon to anyone. In the same location, there is a B&B called Avoca House which is cheaper and is absolutely beautiful in very respect!
Great hotel, ideal location
The Skylon hotel is a great hotel in a great location. Only 5 min to the centre of town and 10 min from the airport. It is on all the main bus routes. The room we got was large and had great night views of the city. The staff were friendly and very helpfull and nothing was too much trouble. Great fun was had in the bar also. A hotel not to be missed if you ask me, we will definately be back
Great value, great rooms, staff a little unhelpful though
The hotel itself is superb value for money and my room was spacious, well equipped and immaculately clean. With the exception of the broken toilet seat (actually in bits placed on top of the toilet) which was fixed shortly after I reported it, the room was fantastic.
I needed some assistance from the receptionist and found her to be a little unhelpful and unfriendly and on checkout there were charges for phone calls that had been made from my room while I was out shopping in Dublin city centre. These were refunded but that's not really the point is it.
The bar food was great, bar staff and housekeeping were very pleasant and the location of the hotel is great for the airport and shopping in the city. I paid around $70 (€50) a night so for the price it represented excellent value and in general I'd recommend it. Just keep an eye on your bill when you leave!
My tv and radio were not working so they changed my room
Very friendly staff easily acess to city centre via many buses passing the hotel easy acess to airport via many buses. Restaurant above average with superb breakfast found bar food and drinks very expensive. Rooms tidy but old fashioned but noticed that as we were leaving the rooms were all getting a face lift redecoration and new fittings. This hotel is recommended mainly for the very exceptional staff.
Excellent hotel excellent staff
What a lovely Hotel. From the word go the staff were friendly. I had to make a lot of changes with my booking due to flight changes,we had quite a number of rooms booked and I spoke firstly with the reservations dept who passed me on to their sales manager as we had quite a large group. The lady I delt with was a pleasure to speak with and told me everything I needed to know about the hotel. The hotel rooms were decorated lovely and I was supprised to see a flat screen tv in my room (It is not offen you see them in hotels) The room was bright and cheerful as were the staff... We will definately be back to The Skylon...
A Fine Hotel
When you first walk into this hotel the lobby is beautiful and classy. It might even be a little too classy for the average tourist dressed in jeans and t-shirts. It did not appear to be a place that would welcome children running around. We got to our room and there was nothing wrong with it. We did stay in nicer rooms on our trip, but there was nothing wrong with this room. It is a little old, but it was clean and everything worked fine. We would have liked to be a little closer to the center of the city. We took a tour bus of the city and we first had to get a cab to the main part of the city to catch the bus, and then get back at the end of the day. It was an 8 euro fare, 10 in traffic. There were many busses that passed by the hotel and I am sure we could have taken them to the city center for less, but it was raining hard and we didn't want to stand out at a bus stop. The bar downstairs was nice. There were restaurants and a little store right across the street from the hotel. This is a fine place to stay, but we would probably not stay here again, we would find something in a little better location.
An unforgettable hotel but for all the wrong reasons!
Not a hotel I would recommend in a hurry. The best thing about it is the lobby - it goes downhill from there.
Unfortunately had to stay there twice (forces beyond our control) and on each occasion were given a smoking room (they didn't have any non-smoking ones left). The whole room stank of stale cigarettes, which got worse as the night went on from cigarette smoke seaping though the very thin walls or from the corridor. The room was basic and had a view looking out onto an air-conditioning unit so we couldn't even open the windows much because of the noise it made. The bathroom was OK but mouldy around the bath area.
The food was interesting - never had steak and chips before that also included mashed potatoes and swede! Avoid the Irish breakfast, unless you like a lot of grease.
Oh, and don't expect to watch much tv when you're there - on both occasions, had a faulty tv - had to get up to physically turn the channels over - who can be bothered?
The staff were OK though - pleasant enough.
Next time we'll stay at The Towers (Jury's) - far superior.
Enjoyed our stay at the Skylon
We both really enjoyed our stay at the Skylon, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The city centre is easily accessed by many buses that pass by the hotel. Would recommend it to anyone wishing to travel to Dublin.
The Reservation Staff don't have a clue
I tried ( 3 phone calls) to get a reservation and was unsucessful. The reservation staff simply do not have a clue. I had booked a tour with a very good tour company that issues vouchers for hotel accommedatins in Ireland. The Skylon is listed in there book as accepting the vouchers.
You are simply to call the hotels and explain you have an open voucher and make a reservation. I have used the vouchers many times before with no problems. Phone call number one, the reservationist I spoke with had no idea what I was talking about and referred me back to the Tour company. Although, she assured me they had openings for the night I wanted. Phone call number, spoke with the reservation manager...he too did not know of what I was speaking of and said he would call me back...which he never did. Phone call number 3, Now they are full up, but he can take my vouchers for one night if I pay a heavy supplement.
Registered a complaint with tour company who with contact head office.
Oh well. It's not even the nicest hotel in Dublin.

Greek withdrawal from the eurozone
|Greek debt crisis
Election articles
Greek government debt crisis articles
The Greek withdrawal from the eurozone is the potential discontinuation of the euro as the national currency of Greece and the resulting Greek exit from the eurozone monetary union. This is also known as the "Grexit", a portmanteau combining the words "Greek exit". The term was introduced by Citigroup's Chief Analysts Willem H. Buiter and Ebrahim Rahbari on 6 February 2012.[1][2]
Two days after an early election of the greek parliament, Alexis Tsipras, leader of a young party called SYRIZA, formed a new government. He appointed Yanis Varoufakis as Minister of Finance - an important post in view of the Greek government-debt crisis.
Since the beginning of March 2015, the possibility / probability of a 'Grexit' or 'Graccident' (Portmanteau of Greece, exit and/or accident) has been discussed.[3][4][5][6]

Financial dynamics[edit]
In mid-May 2012, the financial crisis in Greece and the impossibility of forming a new government after elections[7] led to strong speculation that Greece would leave the eurozone shortly.[8][9][10][11] This phenomenon had already become known as "Grexit" and started to govern international market behaviour. Economists have expressed concern that the phenomenon may well become a self-fulfilling prophecy.[12]
Economists who favour this radical approach to solve the Greek debt crisis typically argue that a default is unavoidable for Greece in the long term, and that a delay in organising an orderly default (by lending Greece more money throughout a few more years), would just wind up hurting EU lenders and neighbouring European countries even more.[13] Fiscal austerity or a euro exit is the alternative to accepting differentiated government bond yields within the Euro Area. If Greece remains in the euro while accepting higher bond yields, reflecting its high government deficit, then high interest rates would dampen demand, raise savings and slow the economy. An improved trade performance and less reliance on foreign capital would be the result.[citation needed]
The implementation of Grexit would have to occur "within days or even hours of the decision being made"[14][15] due to the high volatility that would result. It would have to be timed at one of the public holidays in Greece.[16]
International law dynamics[edit]
Some European scholars have insisted on the shaky legal grounds upon which the "troika" composed of the EU Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF has pursued the harsh macroeconomic adjustment plans imposed on Greece, claiming they infringe upon Greece's sovereignty and interfere in the internal affairs of an independent EU nation-state: "the overt infringements on Greek sovereignty we're witnessing today, with EU policy makers now double-checking all national data and carefully 'monitoring' the work of the Greek government sets a dangerous precedent."[17]
These scholars have argued that a withdrawal from the Eurozone would give the Greek government more room to maneuver to conduct economic and public policies propitious for growth and social equity.[17]
Plan Z during 2012[edit]
"Plan Z" is the name given to a 2012 plan to enable Greece to withdraw from the eurozone in the event of Greek bank collapse.[18] It was drawn up in absolute secrecy by small teams totalling approximately two dozen officials at the European Commission (Brussels), the European Central Bank (Frankfurt) and the IMF (Washington).[18] Those officials were headed by Jörg Asmussen (ECB), Thomas Wieser (Euro working group), Poul Thomsen (IMF) and Marco Buti (European Commission).[18] To prevent premature disclosure no single document was created, no emails were exchanged, and no Greek officials were informed.[18] The plan was based on the 2003 introduction of new dinars into Iraq by the Americans[18] and would have required rebuilding the Greek economy and banking system ab initio, including isolating Greek banks by disconnecting them from the TARGET2 system, closing ATMs, and imposing capital and currency controls.[18]
The prospect of Greece leaving the euro and dealing with a devalued drachma has already prompted many people to start withdrawing their euros out of the country's banks.[19] In the nine months through March 2012 deposits in Greek banks had already fallen 13% to €160 billion.[15]
A victory for anti-bailout lawmakers in the 17 June election would likely trigger an even bigger bank run, said Dimitris Mardas, associate professor of economics at the University of Thessaloniki. Greek authorities, Mardas predicts, would respond by imposing controls on the movement of money for as long as it takes for the panic to subside.[19]
A grexit needs to be prepared, for example with capacity for banknote stamping or printing a stock of new banknotes. However, information leaking out on such preparation would lead to negative dynamic effects, like bank runs.
In the event of a new currency being introduced, all banks would close for several days while old currency (Euros) were stamped to denote they were now drachmas, and/or a newly printed currency was distributed to bank branches for distribution to the public when banks reopened. The British money printing company De La Rue was according to rumours on 18 May 2012 preparing to print new drachma notes based on old moulds, which De La Rue refused to confirm.[15] The time between an order for a new currency is placed and the delivery of the paper is about six months.[20]
Wolfson Economics Prize[edit]
In July 2012, the Wolfson Economics Prize, a prize for the "best proposal for a country to leave the European Monetary Union," was awarded to a Capital Economics team led by Roger Bootle, for their submission titled "Leaving the Euro: A Practical Guide."[21] The winning proposal argued that a member wishing to exit should introduce a new currency and default on a large part of its debts. The net effect, the proposal claimed, would be positive for growth and prosperity. It also called for keeping the euro for small transactions and for a short period of time after the exit from the eurozone, along with a strict regime of inflation-targeting and tough fiscal rules monitored by "independent experts."
The Roger Bootle/Capital Economics plan also suggested that "key officials" should meet "in secret" one month before the exit is publicly announced, and that eurozone partners and international organisations should be informed "three days before." The judges of the Wolfson Economics Prize found that the winning plan was the "most credible solution" to the question of a member state leaving the eurozone.
Earlier exit proposals[edit]
In March 2010, other contrarian financial economists had argued in favor of such a swift exit strategy combined with a massive (but not total) cancellation of public debt: "The only sensible option at this stage is for the EU to engineer some kind of 'orderly default' on (some of) Greece's public debt which would then allow Athens to withdraw from the Eurozone and reintroduce its national currency the drachma at a debased rate.." [17]
Immediate economic fallout inside Greece[edit]
The theory behind the readoption of an independent Greek national currency is that such a currency, freely floating on the international markets, would be able to depreciate in value and thus Greek exports and shipping services would become more competitively priced on the world market. Imports would be correspondingly more expensive, encouraging domestic production in Greece. However, persuading the Greeks and their businesses to replace their euros with a currency intended to collapse in value would be more than somewhat challenging, and current Greek debts would remain denominated in euros.
On 29 May 2012 the National Bank of Greece warned that "[a]n exit from the euro would lead to a significant decline in the living standards of Greek citizens." According to the announcement, per capita income would fall by 55%, the new national currency depreciate by 65% vis-à-vis the euro, and the recession which Greece has been in for five years would deepen to 22%. Furthermore, unemployment would rise from its current 22% to 34% of the work force, and the inflation, which is currently at 2% would soar to 30%.[22]
According to the Greek think-tank Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE), a new drachma would lose half or more of its value relative to the euro.[19] This would drive up inflation, and reduce the purchasing power of the average Greek. At the same time, the country's economic output would drop, putting more people out of work where one in five is already unemployed. The prices of imported goods would skyrocket, putting them out of reach for many.[19]
Analyst Vangelis Agapitos has estimated that inflation under the new drachma would quickly reach 40 to 50 per cent to catch up with the fall in the new currency's value.[19] To stop the falling value of the drachma, interest rates would have to be increased to as high as 30 to 40 per cent, according to Agapitos.[19] People would then be unable to pay off their loans and mortgages and the country's banks would have to be nationalised to stop them from going under, he predicted.[19]
On January 3, 2015, at the American Economic Association's annual meeting, economist Barry Eichengreen warned that the move may trigger a run on Greece's banks, and also on its stock market.[23]
IOBE head of research Aggelos Tsakanikas foresees an increase in crime as people struggle to pay bills. "We won't see tanks in the streets and violence, we won't see people starving in the streets, but crime could very well rise".[19]
Political opinion[edit]
Of all the political parties which won seats in the parliamentary election in May, only the Communist KKE and the Neo-Nazi Golden Dawn have expressed support for leaving the euro, and indeed for leaving the European Union.[24]
The centre-right New Democracy party has accused the leftist SYRIZA of supporting withdrawal from the euro. However, SYRIZA's leader, Alexis Tsipras, has stated that Greece should not leave the eurozone, and return to the drachma because "...we will have poor people, who have drachmas, and rich people, who will buy everything with euros."[25]
Both the Greek government and the EU favour Greek staying within the Euro and believe this to be possible. However, some commentators believe exit is likely. In February 2015, the former head of the US Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, said "it is just a matter of time" for Greece to withdraw from the eurozone,[26] and former United Kingdom Chancellor of the Exchequer Kenneth Clarke described it as inevitable.[27]
2015 Grexit speculation[edit]
In January 2015, speculation about a Greek exit from the eurozone was revived when Michael Fuchs, who is deputy leader of the center-right CDU/CSU faction in the German Bundestag, was quoted on 31 December 2014: "The time when we had to rescue Greece is over. There is no more blackmail potential. Greece is not systemically relevant for the euro." A following article in the weekly Spiegel citing sources from Wolfgang Schäuble's ministry of finance further spurred these speculations. Both German and international media widely interpreted this as the Merkel government semi-officially warning Greek voters from voting for SYRIZA in the upcoming legislative election of 25 January 2015.[28]
German largest selling tabloid, the right-wing populist Bild raised further anger when it compared Greece to an unfair footballer: "What happens to a footballer who breaks the rules and does a crude foul? – He leaves the pitch. He is sent off as a punishment. No question."[29]
The German government's interference in the upcoming elections in Greece was strongly criticized by leaders of European Parliament groups including Socialists & Democrats (S&D), the liberal ALDE and the Greens/EFA group, when S&D president Gianni Pittella said, "German right-wing forces trying to act like a sheriff in Greece or any other member states is not only unacceptable but above all wrong."[30] It has also been criticized by German oppositional parties with the German Greens' speaker Simone Peter calling the debate over a Grexit "highly irresponsible".[29]
Economists of German Commerzbank said that preventing a Greek exit was still desirable for Germany, since a Greek exit would wipe out billions of euros in European taxpayer money, and "it would be much easier politically to renegotiate a compromise with Greece, albeit a lame one, and thus maintain the fiction that Greece will pay back its loans at some point in time."[31]
FTSE "considers Grexit following the election to be highly unlikely...".[32]
On February 9, UK Prime Minister David Cameron, chaired a meeting to discuss any possible ramifications in the event of an exit.[33] According to a Bloomberg report George Osborne said at the meeting of the G-20 finance ministers in Istanbul: "A Greek exit from the euro would be very difficult for the world economy and potentially very damaging for the European economy."[34]
In February 2015 the Russian government stated that it would offer Greece aid but would only provide it in rubles.[35]
Kathimerini reported that after the 16th February Eurogroup talks Commerzbank AG increased the risk of Greece exiting the euro to 50%.[36] The expression used by TIME for these talks is "Greece and the Euro Zone dance on the precipice".[37]
After an emergency meeting of eurozone finance ministers (20 February 2015), European leaders agreed to extend Greece's bailout for further four months.[38]
International financial shockwaves[edit]
Effect upon the European economy[edit]
Claudia Panseri, head of equity strategy at Société Générale, speculated in late May 2012 that eurozone stocks could plummet up to 50 percent in value if Greece makes a disorderly exit from the eurozone.[39] Bond yields in other European nations could widen 100 basis points to 200 basis points, negatively affecting their ability to service their own sovereign debts.[39]
But, as early as March 2010, other European financial economists had supported the notion a swift Greek withdrawal from the Eurozone and the simultaneous reintroduction of its former national currency the drachma at a debased rate, arguing that the European economy as a whole would eventually benefit from such a policy change : "Such an abrupt readjustment might be painful at first, but it will ultimately strengthen the Greek economy and make the Eurozone more cohesive, and thus better at confronting the difficult economic circumstances and dealing with them." [17]
Effect upon the world economy[edit]
Europe in 2010 accounted for 25 percent of world trade, according to Deutsche Bank.[39] Economic depression within the European economy would ripple worldwide and slow global growth.[39]
A working paper published by the European Central Bank concluded:[40]
… that negotiated withdrawal from the EU would not be legally impossible even prior to the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, and that unilateral withdrawal would undoubtedly be legally controversial; that, while permissible, a recently enacted exit clause is, prima facie, not in harmony with the rationale of the European unification project and is otherwise problematic, mainly from a legal perspective; that a Member State's exit from EMU, without a parallel withdrawal from the EU, would be legally inconceivable; and that, while perhaps feasible through indirect means, a Member State's expulsion from the EU or EMU, would be legally next to impossible. … with a reminder that while, institutionally, a Member State's membership of the euro area would not survive the discontinuation of its membership of the EU, the same need not be true of the former Member State's use of the euro.
In the legal literature, the question of whether a country can unilaterally leave the Eurozone without leaving the EU is controversial. Jens Dammann has taken the view that under certain conditions, it is possible for a Member State to end its membership in the Eurozone without leaving the European Union.[41]

Preview: Long Beach State
The conference favorite, 49ers need to keep defensive intensity up
Long Beach State 49ers
2012-13: 19-14 (14-4)
In-conference offense: 1.08 points per possession (2nd)
In-conference defense: 1.01 points per possession (3rd)
There's no doubt Dan Monson had a talented group to work with at Long Beach State last year. The winner of a third straight Big West Coach of the Year Award didn't have the path completely laid out from the start, but he coached a roster with plenty of moving parts to its third consecutive regular-season championship. Another league title could win Monson more hardware because Long Beach State enters this season short three starters from last year, including conference player of the year James Ennis, who was drafted in the second round by the Miami Heat. Monson will again be charged with restructuring his rotation after losing the majority of his starting lineup for a second straight year.

06/06/12 – Thankful For DeeJune 6th, 2012 | by christopher
