"There is definitely going to be another financial crisis around the corner," says hedge fund legend Mark Mobius, "because we haven't solved any of the things that caused the previous crisis."
We're raising our alert status for the next financial crisis. We already raised it last week after spreads on U.S. credit default swaps started blowing out. Today, we raise it again after seeing the remarks of Mr. Mobius, chief of the $50 billion emerging markets desk at Templeton Asset Management.
Speaking in Tokyo, he pointed to derivatives – the financial hairball of futures, options, and swaps in which nearly all the world's major banks are tangled up.
Estimates on the amount of derivatives out there worldwide vary. An oft-heard estimate is $600 trillion. That squares with Mobius' guess of 10 times the world's annual GDP. "Are the derivatives regulated?" asks Mobius. "No. Are you still getting growth in derivatives? Yes."
In other words, something along the lines of securitized mortgages is lurking out there, ready to trigger another crisis as in 2007-08.
What could it be? We'll offer up a good guess – one the market is discounting.
Seldom does a stock index rise so much, for so little reason, as the Dow did on the open this morning: 115 Dow points on a rumor that Greece is going to get a second bailout.
Let's step back for a moment: The Greek crisis is first and foremost about the German and French banks that were foolish enough to lend money to Greece in the first place. What sort of derivative contracts tied to Greek debt are they sitting on? What worldwide mayhem would ensue if Greece didn't pay back 100 centimes on the euro?
That's a rhetorical question, since the balance sheets of European banks are even more opaque than American ones. But whatever the actual answer, it's scary enough that the European Central Bank has refused to entertain any talk about the holders of Greek sovereign debt taking a haircut – even in the form of Greece stretching out its payments.
That was the preferred solution among German leaders. But if today's Wall Street Journal is to be believed, the ECB is about to get its way. Greece will likely get another bailout – 30 billion euros on top of the 110 billion euro bailout it got a year ago.
It will accomplish nothing. Going deeper into hock is never a good way to get out of debt. And at some point, this exercise in kicking the can has to stop. When it does, you get your next financial crisis.
And what of the derivatives sitting on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve? Here's another factor behind our heightened state of alert.
"Through quantitative easing efforts alone," says Euro Pacific Capital's Michael Pento, "Ben Bernanke has added $1.8 trillion of longer-term GSE debt and mortgage-backed securities (MBS)."
Think about that for a moment. The Fed's entire balance sheet totaled around $800 billion before the 2008 crash, nearly all of it Treasuries. Now the Fed holds more than double that amount in mortgage derivatives alone – junk that the banks needed to clear off their own balance sheets.
"As the size of the Fed's balance sheet ballooned," continues Mr. Pento, "the dollar amount of capital held at the Fed has remained fairly constant. Today, the Fed has $52.5 billion of capital backing a $2.7 trillion balance sheet.
"Prior to the bursting of the credit bubble, the public was shocked to learn that our biggest investment banks were levered 30-to-1. When asset values fell, those banks were quickly wiped out. But now the Fed is holding many of the same types of assets and is levered 51-to-1! If the value of their portfolio were to fall by just 2%, the Fed itself would be wiped out."
Mr. Pento's and Mr. Mobius' views line up with our own, which we laid out during interviews on our trip to China this month.

Just like a thief with his foot to the metal and the cops right behind him. He's caught and he knows it but he keeps on going as long as luck and gas holds out…
Addison Wiggin makes a great case for holding cash (the real thing, not an IOU from another party).
BIS indicated derivatives value was US$600 trillion before the financial crisis. Recently the same figure was quoted. I do not believe derivative value had not risen. Does BIS still publish value of derivatives nowadays. If not, I wonder if why.
Discussions like this about an eye are a good a way to promote and expand the topic. Thanks for posting about this, I would love to read more about this topic. Thank you for the article Addison.
When the crash comes do you think it will be possible to make money in a leveraged inverse ETF like TZA.
Huh? As long as the Fed can print money, it can't 'go away.' This basic misunderstanding invalidates this article.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is praising law enforcement's use of the Wisconsin Crime Alert Network, or WCAN, which continues to help investigators solve multiple crimes across jurisdictions. Since it became operational, more than 4,000 alerts have gone out, assisting law enforcement statewide in solving dozens of crimes. Officers report cases solved within hours, or in some cases within minutes, of using the WCAN.
WCAN Alert Assists Washington County Sheriff's Office with Investigation of 100 Storage Unit Burglaries
On March 28, 2014, the Washington County Sheriff's Office issued a WCAN alert regarding burglaries to nearly 100 storage units that occurred throughout the past two months. Photographs of the suspect and suspect's vehicle were included in the alert. The Washington County Sheriff's Office was contacted by investigators with the Oconto County Sheriff's Department who reviewed the WCAN alert and recognized the suspect in the photos as having been investigated by the Langlade County Sheriff's Office for a series of storage shed burglaries in 2003. Washington County deputies contacted Langlade County deputies who provided the name and further information about the suspect.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office in conjunction with the Saukville Police Department, which had sent out multiple WCAN alerts concerning storage unit burglaries in that community, focused investigative efforts on the suspect including the execution of several search warrants with the assistance of the Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office and Milwaukee Police Department -- District 2. A substantial amount of confirmed and suspected stolen items was recovered. The suspect and another individual have been charged in connection to this investigation with more possible charges pending in various jurisdictions.
Outagamie County Sheriff's Department Identifies Suspect Using the WCAN
On April 8, 2014, the Outagamie County Sheriff's Department issued an alert through the WCAN regarding a suspicious incident at a school construction site. Investigators report that in the late evening hours of April 7, 2014, a pickup truck entered a gated area of the school construction site. Apparently unknown to the driver of the truck, a construction manager was working at the site and observed the vehicle leaving and relayed a description of the truck to law enforcement.
The Town of Menasha Police Department received the Crime Alert and recognized the description of the vehicle from a case in February of this year in which the truck's owner was cited for stealing pallets. Town of Menasha police provided information about the truck's owner to the Outagamie Sheriff's Department. Sheriff's department investigators interviewed the suspect, who returned the items stolen from the construction site to investigators. Theft and other charges against the suspect are pending.
This is the second success story for Outagamie County Sheriff's Department using the Wisconsin Crime Alert Network. In both incidents, the department was able to quickly solve crimes through information gained from other law enforcement agencies responding to the Crime Alerts. Within roughly 24 hours, the cased was solved and the stolen items were returned.
To enroll or to learn more about the WCAN, visit the website below:
Crime Prevention Webinar Scheduled
The WCAN also is hosting free crime prevention webinars for subscribers. The next scheduled training is Wednesday, June 18, at 2 pm. This webinar will cover "Child Identity Theft."
Children are an especially vulnerable population to identity thieves, who consider a child's personal identifying information (PII) more valuable than that of an adult. Shawn Diaz, Agency Liaison for the Office of Privacy Protection, will explain Child Identity Theft, how it happens, and how you can use Wisconsin's Child Credit Protection Act to protect your children from this crime.

2011 has seen a remarkable rise in the profile and quantity of PC indie downloadable games.

Bioterrorism Emergency Preparedness for Hospitals
The following articles and supply lists are resource documents to assist you in your planning. They are not lists of equipment MDH recommends for any hospital to purchase. Selection of PPE should be initially based on local and regional needs, along with your hazard vulnerability analysis. You will need to coordinate the purchase of your PPE with your county emergency manager, fire service, other HAZMAT resources, and other hospitals in your region. Training in the use/limitations of PPE and drills are critical to assure safe and effective isolation and decontamination procedures. Physical limitations and physiologic effects of different types of PPE must be considered, along with required fit testing, maintenance, and service of PPE equipment.

The prices are excellent given the quality of the food. Bullock's has a relaxed setting on the shores of Back Bay in a Yellowkinfe Heritage Building. A must for Yellowknife residents and visitors. They have the coolest sign too !!

- Whitman Defeats Willamette
Women's Tennis | Saturday, April 7, 2012
Whitman Downs Willamette, 8-1, in Walla Walla, Wash.
WALLA WALLA, WASH. -- Whitman College defeated Willamette University, 8-1, in a Northwest Conference women's tennis match on Saturday, April 7 at the Whitman Outdoor Courts. Whitman, ranked #10 in the West Region of NCAA Division III, improved to 13-4 overall, 8-2 in the Northwest Conference. Willamette fell to 6-8 overall, 4-6 in the NWC.
Due to illness involving two of Willamette's players, the Bearcats had to default at #5 and #6 singles as well as at #3 doubles.
Willamette's lone win was at #4 singles, as Emily Funabiki (So., Pullman, WA/Pullman HS) defeated Erin Minuth of the Missionaries in a super tie-breaker played instead of a third set, 2-6, 6-2, 10-4.
The Missionaries jumped out to a 3-0 lead, including wins on the court at #1 and #2 doubles. In #1 doubles, Courtney Lawless and Morgan Lawless downed Shannon Palmer (Sr., Salem, OR/Sprague HS) and Sabrina Gutierrez (So., Newbury Park, CA/Newbury Park HS), 8-2. At #2 doubles, Hannah Palkowitz and Emily Rolston outscored Emily Bee (Sr., Portland, OR/Lincoln HS) and Funabiki, 8-4.
Two of the singles matches were decided in super tie-breakers after the first two sets were split. Funabiki's win at #4 singles was one such match. The other occurred at #2 singles, as Morgan Lawless of Whitman rallied past Gutierrez of Willamette, 4-6, 6-0, 10-5.
A close match also was played at #3 singles, where Lizzy Schiller of Whitman held off Bee by narrow margins in each set, 7-5, 6-4.
The Bearcats will take on George Fox University on Tuesday, April 10 in Newberg, Ore. Match time is set for 4 p.m. (PDT).

Lindsay Lohan Loses Lawsuit Against Pitbull
This story would be infinitely more interesting if Lindsay Lohan had literally sued a pit bull — and lost. Considering it's LiLo, it wouldn't even be a shock.
But no. In 2011, Lindsay sued rapper Pitbull for this line in his song, "Give Me Everything":
Hustlers move aside, so I'm tiptoein', to keep flowin'
I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan.
According to TMZ, in her lawsuit, Lindsay claimed "the lyrics, by virtue of its wide appeal, condemnation, excoriation, disparaging or defamatory statements by the defendants about the plaintiff are destined to do irreparable harm to the plaintiff." As "a professional actor of good repute and standing in the Screen Actors Guild" she was "suing under the New York civil rights laws, which protects people from having their name exploited for commercial purposes."
However, TMZ updated today that a NY federal judge ruled that the song is protected by the First Amendment and Lindsay is barely even mentioned in it. The judge also dismissed Lindsay's allegations of suffering emotional distress. So she's out of luck — and now this lawsuit is "locked up."

Joshua Dijksman
(Duke University)
Disordered materials such as sand, foams and emulsions display a wide variety of different forms of mechanical behavior. Currently the origin of this rich dynamics is the subject of intense study. Experimentally it has proved difficult to probe the microscopic dynamics in these systems. We present an overview of experimental investigations that have been successful in giving more insight into the microstructural dynamics of disordered systems. We focus on shear induced dilatancy and diffusion in quasi statically deformed granular materials and suspensions and contrast the behavior of low and high friction particulate materials. We shall discuss the consequences of our observations in the context of shear banding and jamming phenomena.

What's up with little Kingston Rossdale? Our favorite rockstar celebrity kiddo looks a bit out of sorts, bordering on belligerent. Or maybe he's just getting into character with all that ominous face paint on? Can we just say how much we love parents Gavin and Gwen for letting their kids run around with gook on their faces. Little Zuma also got into the act, with what looks like a tarantula painted on his cheek. That smile just melts us! Mom Gwen's got her own version of face paint on—she stepped out in full hair and make-up!

Recipe by Kathie Boettger
"Old fashioned pork and sauerkraut that is served here on New Year's Day for luck! Serve with mashed potatoes, and apple sauce for dipping the pork in."

1 (4 pound)
pork loin roast
1 teaspoon
caraway seeds
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups
sauerkraut with liquid
Well, it only took me 30 years to find the definitive receipe for pork and sauerkraut...this recipe is great!! I followed the advice of many of the other reviewers on here by adding 2 large, sliced, granny smith apples, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 2 16-ounce jars of sauerkraut. My crock pot seems to need extra help with roasts, so I cooked mine for roughly six hours on low with an additional four hours on high. The meat was falling-apart-tender, and the kraut had just the right amount of sweet and sour to it...served this with garlic mashed potatoes. Looking forward to the leftovers tonight! Thank you for the great recipe!!
A good, basic recipe to embellish on to suit individual tastes. I used boneless, country-style ribs and, because I prefer my cabbage fresh and hubs prefers his as sauerkraut, a combination of both. Well, actually, to suit MY tastes I admit there was more fresh cabbage (Savoy, which has a milder flavor) and a lesser amount of sauerkraut. Because the slow cooker doesn't, I browned the ribs first, then set them on top the cabbage and kraut to which I added minced garlic, chopped onion and a small amount of melted butter. I omitted the caraway seed. I deglazed the pan I browned the ribs in, then poured some of that rich liquid over the ribs. This was a nice meal, which I served with boiled new potatoes. Once again, however, this proved that there are limited instances where a slow cooker does a better job than conventional cooking methods.

I went looking for a recipe for pork and sauerkraut to see if I was missing any ingrediants in my recipe that I've been making on New Years Day every year for 25 years. Well, here is my recipe! The only changes I make personally is that I start the stuff on New Years Eve before we go to bed and let it cook all night and all day before we eat it. I add brown sugar to take the bite away from the kraut (about 2 tablespoons). The longer it cooks, the better. It gets nice and browned and my family loves this once a year treat. We serve with mashed potatoes and applesauce and dinner rolls. This is THE lucky New Years Day dish to be served for good fortune. Even better reheated the next day.
Wow! This is definitely a New Year's Day tradition. Being from Pennsylvania, I had to make this. It was excellent. I took one 16 oz. bag of Boar's Head Sauerkraut and layered that on the bottom. Then sprinkled some of the caraway seeds and put the pork in with some salt, pepper, and a little brown sugar. I cut up a large granny smith apple and put that over the pork and then added the other bag of sauerkraut and sprinkled some more caraway seeds. I added just a little bit of water and set the crock pot on low for 8 hours. The pork was falling apart. It went great with Suzy's Mashed Red Potatoes and some sweet peas and for dessert Nutty Apple Crisp.
YUM! Made me feel like I was back in Pennsylvania again. My mom would would also brown the pork first and add 1/2 of an onion, thinly sliced and approx. 1 to 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce to the sauerkraut. It adds a smokey flavor and a nice color.
Yummy but the 5th star is for how easy this is. I used a whole boneless pork loin that was marinated with onion and garlic (thanks to Costco). Like others, I added 1/2 can beer, 2 tbsps brown sugar and 2 granny smith apples. Also doubled the kraut and caraway seeds(next time I'll do even more). Quartered the apples; didn't add them until 3 hours in or they cook into mush. I've made with and without apples and prefer the apples.
I felt like I was back in PA for the New Year. Thanks for the great recipe! I loved the flavor of the caraway seeds and used two Granny Smith apples and 2 T. brown sugar as previously recommended. I also added dumplings on top during the last few minutes of cooking... 1 1/3 c. flour, 1/2 t. salt (cannot omit), 2 t. baking powder, 1 egg, and 1/2 c. milk. You cannot have sauerkraut without dumplings in PA. Most tender pork roast I have ever cooked and enjoyed!
Good recipe, I added two apples to cut down on the bitterness of the kraut, and browned the pork roast before putting it in the crock pot.Try toasting the caraway seeds,and then add for the last hour, this seems to bring out more flavor.

Closing Ceremonies
Our homeschool co-op had its closing ceremonies last night. This is when the different age groups of students (12 and under) get up on the stage in front of the parents, grandparents, and fellow students and perform 5-minute skits outlining one of the subjects they concentrated on through the year. The whole night was incredibly entertaining, and I found all the skits to be varied and clever and hilarious.
One group of 8-year-olds had to list to a U.S. Customs official (one of the kids' moms) which countries they'd each just visited, grouped according to world region.
Another group did a game show wherein they dressed up as different presidents and shouted out trivia questions for the audience to guess.
Another group created visual mnemonic devices to describe significant world events in the middle ages.
My older boy's group (all boys) played the Star Wars theme using tinwhistles. (It was awesome, man!)
And then there was the older girls' group. Two or three months ago, when the different classes/groups were starting to plan their end-of-year skits, the girls approached me to see if it would be okay for them to do a spoof on my cooking show.
Of course I said yes. DUH! I am a lover of skits, especially spoofy ones. I was totally in.
So every Friday, for about 20 minutes before lunchtime, I hung out with the girls as they planned, wrote, and practiced their skit, which was based on various math and science facts they'd focused on throughout the year. And last night, they nailed it!
During the brief skit, they demonstrated making a faux cake while shouting out measurement conversions, square inch calculations, the difference between volts, watts, and amperes…
And they used a large, weird stuffed Basset Hound to illustrate Newton's First Law of Motion. ("An object at rest tends to remain at rest…") Originally I had planned to bring the real Charlie to participate in the skit, but he doesn't know about town and I was afraid he'd have some kind of crisis.
Anyway, the girls were just awesome. Campy, clever, and so funny. And when it was all over, we high-fived, gave each other a group hug, and I forgot for a few minutes that I wasn't twelve.
I love skits. Always have, always will. Reminds me of the ol' church youth group days.
And on another note, I am having way too much fun with our new stuffed Basset Hound.
Charlie is extremely confused…

Are each of the girls wearing one of your tops? They look adorable!

That is the first thing I noticed as well!!! lol how adorable and that dog is awesome!!!!! I miss doing things like that with my children bitter sweet!!

Love that they are wearing your style shirts!
Darcie (My Modern Country) On Wednesday, May 14 at 8:51 am
Great ideas for the Closing Ceremonies! Would have loved to see the "spoof" of your cooking show. We had our local high school graduation on Saturday…can I brag? Our son was the Valedictorian, and gave a beautiful, wonderful, AND funny speech. He wouldn't let us read or preview it, which just made it more special.

Awwww, thanks Ree. He has accepted all of the generous scholarships from the OSU Engineering Program, and we will be heading down there for registration in a few weeks!
Tess in TN On Wednesday, May 14 at 9:37 am
Congratulations on your son's achievements, Darcie! And Ree, I second the request to see the spoof!
Darcie (My Modern Country) On Wednesday, May 14 at 9:57 am
Thank you, Tess!
Katie B. On Wednesday, May 14 at 8:52 am
You didn't even mention how they nailed your outfit choices perfectly! Floral-ish pattened flowy tops!!!
Karen On Wednesday, May 14 at 8:54 am
Great walking companion. A bit on the slow side, but nothing you couldn't get used to. Hey Ree, Maybe Charlie thinks that is his twin or other relative.
Mary Ann Potter On Wednesday, May 14 at 9:16 am
Oh, what fun!!! I am a strong proponent of home schooling; done correctly (and it's obvious that y'all have) it fosters knowledge and creativity. I'm impressed. And I trust that Charlie is accepting of his new "friend."
I think you were right to leave the real Charlie at home. The director of our kids' ministry at our church wanted to borrow one of my donkeys for the Easter play, but I declined, fully knowing that Virgil would probably snort and bray and leave "little souvenirs" in his path — and I surely didn't want him to throw off the kid who played Jesus!
dc On Wednesday, May 14 at 9:43 am
Glad they could include Charlie even if it was a doppelganger!
Sharon On Wednesday, May 14 at 9:53 am
Note the hair color and styling on all the girls! Love it. So cute. Hi, Jayda! (My niece standing to Ree's left). And my brother-in-law is the photo bomber in the back! Fun!
Lindsey F On Wednesday, May 14 at 10:10 am
Haha, oh my gosh the Basset Hound joke got me. You are always mentioning about how Charlie is a bit more, uh, "relaxed" than most. That was a clever joke on their part! Love it!
Mary K On Wednesday, May 14 at 10:10 am
Look at all those cute mini-Rees! I'm not surprised they chose to use your show (and you) for inspiration – such a lovely example!

Cooking is mathimatical and science based, especially in physics. Loved how Charlie was incorporated into Newton's law. He is a real nice dog. Glad you all had fun.
PenPen On Wednesday, May 14 at 10:25 am
What a great idea! And even better using your show. Did you record it? Will we be able to see it? Tops, science ideas and Charlie all rolled into one!
Gloria On Wednesday, May 14 at 10:28 am
Very cute!
Bonnie M On Wednesday, May 14 at 11:06 am
Sounds like a really fun night! Skits and spoofs are the best!! I agree with the other ladies. I would love to see their skit on your program! They sound very witty and clever and the fact that 'Charlie was involved' makes it even more special! It's also very cool that they dressed in tunics ala Pioneer Woman! It seems as though a lot of work was done to make it the success it obviously was!! Thanks for sharing this with us!!
In the genre of fun, learning and laughter, our Church does an absolutely amazing job every Mother's Day! Almost all of the men, young men and boys, prepare a delicious dinner, salad and dessert. They serve it, along with water, ice tea, punch, coffee or tea. Then, it's on to the sanctuary, where they put on very, very funny skits & spoofs, our Men's Quartet sings a lovely song, sometimes, as they did this year, we have a few very moving moments involving actors. Numbers are drawn for beautiful hanging plants, baskets, etc. They even do drawings for the young ladies in the audience – candy, craft kits, jump ropes/jacks, etc. It is a wonderful event that we look forward to every year.
I'm glad you get to do such interesting and fun things together as a family. Please give the real Charlie a hug and kiss for me – no matter how cute that stuffed basset may be, he doesn't even come close to the real thing!!
God Bless.
Charlotte On Wednesday, May 14 at 11:09 am
Sounds like tons of fun for the girls…..Poor Charlie, I'm afraid he may have a melt-down with the stuff "Charlie" around…..hehehe

What a fun way to wrap up the school year! What memories are made of! You can definitely see the friendship between those kids. I, too, vote for seeing a video of The Pioneer Women!!

I miss my son not being little anymore. You need to take a picture of Charlie with the stuff dog. Lol.
IrishMum On Wednesday, May 14 at 5:03 pm
Ree, it took me a few seconds to notice you in the picture with the girls. I could say it's because you all have the same kind of tops and hair, but I would rather say, from one over 40 to another, it's because of your youthful appearance
Tissy On Wednesday, May 14 at 9:28 pm
They had FUNNNN!!! Too cute for words! Love it.
Gina J On Wednesday, May 14 at 10:05 pm
I DO hope you got the skit on video. It would be hilarious on your show to show it spoof!
Sandi W. On Wednesday, May 14 at 10:22 pm

Alice Schmid On Thursday, May 15 at 10:51 am
This whole home-schooling concept is foreign to me. But i hope you won't mind a few questions.
By the time i was 13/14 (8th grade), i had been taking piano lessons for 8 years. Won regional and state math contests. Was in and won the school and regional science fair. In 2nd grade we performed Hans' Christian Anderson's the Snow Queen and in 8th grade had a serious Talent recital. We had scouting, art lessons, field trips, bazaars.
Your home-schooling efforts don't sound like your kids are being adequately educated to be competitive with their peers. By the time I was Alex 's age, looking at colleges, i was taking AP courses, scored perfect scores on the SATs and gave a full formal piano recital. It is much harder now to get into good colleges, as the competition is global. Kids from all over the world want to come to our universities and some of them have been extraordinarily well educated. Aren't you worried that your easy-going approach to primary education will fail them when your kids go out into the world?
Tam On Thursday, May 15 at 11:37 am
Here's a question for you Alice;)! Are you worried that your promiscuous listing of achievements might be offputting thereby leaving you without friends or peers and unable to share all you've learned with the real world?

Big Cuts in Planning at Plain Dealer
The newspaper business, as readers here probably know, isn't what it used to be.
The economic crisis for newspapers now will be felt strongly in Cleveland.
Top Plain Dealer executives – Publisher Terry Egger and Editor Susan Goldberg - told worried editorial staff members yesterday that the business climate is so bad that the paper plans to cut 35 pages a week from its news pages and 20 percent of its workforce.
Egger said they were looking at "drastic changes," according to PD reporters.
That's 35 pages of less news every week or 1,820 pages a year for readers of Cleveland's only daily newspaper.
A day ago the Tribune Company announced it would chop 500 pages a week from its newspapers, which include the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Baltimore Sun, Hartford Courant and others. The New York Times reported that it could mean 82 pages a day cut from the L. A. Times.
The plan has to be approved by Advance publications, owned by the Newhouse family, Plain Dealer owners.
A newspaper price increase is also contemplated.
The paper has already lost some 17 percent of its editorial staff after a recent buyout.
The paper will reduce its op-ed pages from two to one; stock tables will be gone. There will be no business pages on Monday and special sports sections will be eliminated.
This cannot mean anything good to those who already find the newspaper lacking in its coverage.
I still bought it, despite it being so poor. Looks like those days are over
Price increase so we pay more for less? Who is the economic genius that came up with this plan? You need to give readers what the surveys you take show they want: local news. Local city hall, local crime, local trials, local courts (bankruptcy, family and divorce.). It should be back to the basics for newspapers these days, an end to the fluffy features that don't say anything, an end to trend stories that are just sham advertisements. Forget about Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan because we can get them on the Internet in much more interesting displays than you will ever publish. No more short and cute, but in depth look at Cleveland.
Mr. or Ms. Guest @2:54pm6/10 -- You are exactly right. They need to cover cops, courts, and city hall. It's a radical plan -- all newspapers used to do it, but hardly any bother to do it now. I bet you used to be in the newspaper business yourself, as did I. Don't miss working there, do miss having a decent paper to read.
You guys are jerks. Try living in Lorain where your "local" paper ownership doesn't give a crap about the community. We get better coverage from The PD at meetings and events than we do from the Journal. I give props to The PD newsroom any day.
FYI, your "local" paper ownership is the infamous Journal Register Co., one of--if not the worst newspaper groups in the industry. At its sister paper in Lake County, word is that all the delivery truck drivers were fired with the possibility of being rehired as a part-timer further hurts the "local" paper and the local economy. You wanna see what a terrible group it is, google the parent company to see what a terrible company it is.
Incidentally, Lorain's "customer service" department has been forwarded to the News-Herald's office. Their paper is being printed at the News-Herald and has been for a number of months. This shut down the Lorain Journal's press room & mail room.
Terrible company, folks, terrible....
They need MORE LOCAL content MORE editorial pages about LOCAL issues. That's the niche. Local, local, local. I don't want rehash of the national/world stuff I can get from a better source on the net.
On Sunday, I want to read magazine length articles about local issues.
With the internet, we can read online papers like the times (both NY and LA) and the Washington Post...Papers with backbone.... The PD is one step above a rag.....
I love it when editors like Susan Goldberg show off their mansions and hoard of designer shoes, then tell staffers that they're fired for economic reasons.
Susan Goldberg lives in a very ordinary house on Fairmount Boulevard, across the street from St. James Episcopal Church (and also across the street that used to be the home of Emerson Batdorff).
If you want to smear her, at least you might try sticking to the facts.
She shows off her "hoard of designer shoes." Say what??? If that post is indicative of the intelligence in today's society, then maybe we really don't need daily newspapers with real paper and real newsprint anymore. Perhaps just a simple foot fetish weekly periodical will suffice.
It' so easy to bash the paper when it's not your job on the line. Think about all the employees who are now worried about their jobs. Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to it. But, is everyone willing to lose another local operation? How many things are affected by the loss of the newspaper? We can read all we want on the internet, bottom line...the story still starts with a reporter and a pen. You get rid of all of that and your internet information becomes smaller and smaller. No one like everything they read, that's because it this great nation, we are entitled to our thoughts. Our beliefs cloud our perceptions of stories and so of course we believe something is slanted, or best said for the other side. Cutting jobs, losing businesses in this city is not a good thing for anyone. There is a bigger picture here....where is our economy headed???
... Granted, the landscape is changing with the Interent, etc. But most people who own newspapers, I have found, are absolute moons. By rule, about a decade ago, owners started deciding what should and should and be printed. That, more than anything, has led to the demise of papers.
with the increase in gas and a decrease in our earnings and very little in the way of tips.. they might end up not having anyone to deliver their papers. The paper carrier is a vital link to the subscriber so why do they not care about our expenses. They need to get rid of a lot of unneeded depot staff and cut back on the employees health benefits (carriers don't get any). They should do a lot more local news and save the world news for TV or the internet where it is more up to date. The morning paper is basically yesterdays news.
I believe that this shuts down the Lorain Journal's press room & mail room.

Windows 7 was built around your feedback, so you'll see a lot of things you've asked for. You asked us to make everyday tasks faster and easier, to make your PC work the way you want it to, and to make it possible to do new things. And that's exactly what we're doing with Windows 7 - see how it's coming to life with a host of intelligent features.
The taskbar at the bottom of your screen is what you use to launch programs and switch between them when they're open. In Windows 7 you can pin any program to the taskbar so it's always just a click away, and you can rearrange the icons on the taskbar just by clicking and dragging. We've made the icons considerably bigger, too, so they're easier to use. Hover over the icons and you'll see thumbnails of every file or window that open in that program, and if you hover over the thumbnail, you'll see a full-screen preview of that window. Move the cursor off the thumbnail and the full-screen preview disappears.
With Windows 7, we focused on keeping the things you use most right in front of you. One example: The new Jump List feature. It's a handy way to quickly reach the files you've been working with. To see the files you've used recently, just right click on the icon on your taskbar. So right-clicking on the Word icon will show your most recent Word documents. Plus, if there are other files you want to keep handy, you can just pin them to the Jump List so they'll always appear. That way, the documents you're likely to want are just a couple clicks away.
Some programs, such as Windows Media Player, can pre-populate their Jump Lists with common tasks. For example, on the Jump List for Windows Media Player, you'll see options to Play All Music or resume your last playlist. On the Jump List for Internet Explorer, you'll see frequently and recently viewed websites. With some programs, you'll even have quick access to tasks that, in the past, were only available from within the program, such as composing a new email message.
Windows 7 simplifies how you work with the windows on your desktop. You'll have more intuitive ways to open, close, resize and arrange them.
I am very pleased with the effort and don't feel like adding anything in it.

Some husbands are handy around the house, good at fixing things, perhaps knowledgeable about cars or plumbing. Some husbands are aspiring chefs, willing and able to whip up gourmet dinners after work or entertain weekend guests with their culinary creativity. My husband? He has a rare, wonderful, and simple skill that I'd never trade for anything: He's a super-human genius-level celebrity spotter. Whether it's mega-star Shania Twain hiding in a dark theater with a baseball hat pulled low, or micro-star reality TV contestant Jordis Unga walking down Melrose -- Bryan's sixth sense will activate, ensuring that the famous person is viewed, identified, and passed on to me for approach.
(I know I've written about this before in passing, but I really do think Bryan deserves a special nod for spotting a second celebrity only 2.25 months into our travels.)
It happened yesterday afternoon, in the middle of two days of Australian-style fun courtesy of our recurring travel pals Clare and Andy, with whom we were lucky enough to meet up in our third country in a row. (Clare and Andy are staying here with a great Aussie couple named James and Annie, who happen to be wine merchants who invite people like us to their homes for massive feasts of grilled seafood, and then the next night, quail and chorizo and strawberry salad and fancy ice cream desserts -- each served, of course, with an endless array of amazing reds and whites and followed by hours of card-play.)
It was Sunday, and the six of us had just arrived in famous Bondi Beach after attending an Australian-rules football game in Sydney. We were outside on the deck of a trendy little Italian restaurant, watching the enormous waves crash on the beach and the beautiful, glamourous things come and go. Of course, if it weren't for Bryan, none of us would have noticed none other than the younger sister of one Ms. Jessica Simpson enter the place: She came and went so quickly we could only assume she'd stopped in merely to use the facilities. She had a large bodyguard, a few female attendees, and a disappointingly nondescript white van. She wore a sheer, beachy white dress and a leopard-print scarf in her hair. She was small.
I will never know if, given the time, Ashlee would've bested Shania in the picture-taking category -- but we did warm to her after Andy yelled over the railing, "I PREFER YOUR SISTER!" and she merely looked up, smiled and shrugged.
Bryan, thank you for bringing this wonderful talent into our lives. I know others appreciate it as well, and your modesty and willingness to share the fruits of your gift are commendable. I am hoping we haven't exceeded our international celebrity sighting quota quite yet, so you'll have time to shine once (or twice) again during our travels.
Thanks also to James and Annie, gracious weekend hosts and wine merchants extraordinaire, and Clare and Andy, fellow travelers and good luck harbingers. We'll see you (with or without Ashlee) at the next stop. ..........

I am humbled by Allyson's praise of my "gift", and it was pretty awesome seeing Ashlee (especially her reaction to "I prefer your sister" ... she seemed a bit offended/embarassed) and watching the 23ft. surf at Bondi Beach (the biggest in 30 years ... according to one paper). Our friends and hosts were truly amazing all weekend, and we had a great two days with the four of them.
Now, I just hope to see either Elle McPherson or Russell Crowe before leaving Oz. That would definitely make my day (and Allyson's too!).

Really, you are the perfect couple - an amazing combination of observing and recounting.

Ahhh, I just read this morning that Ashlee was there to host the MTV Australian Music Video Awards. Go Bryan!

it must be so difficult, to be so far away and out of your element, both of you. :)
let it now be known across the world, amongst all celebrities of Earth: you can run, but you cannot hide. the B&A team *will* find you.


text: Saints quarterback Drew Brees returned to practice in pads today after a week and a half of being sidelined with an abdominal injury. WWL Saints Sideline Reporter Kristian Garic says it is a great sight for Who Dat eyes to see #9 back in pads. "Whenever you see progress, it's another positive step in the right direction that points to him potentially playing in the preseason," Garic said. "I still don't expect him to play Friday night in the second preseason game." Garic says it is more likely Brees will see his first preseason action August 23rd in Indianapolis. Brees has been out since August first when he suffered an injury to his oblique muscle.

My dear Violet,
Your account of The Dell was very interesting and I quite understand all about it. No doubt Mr. Hughes put up that grand vinery as a business matter because he could so easily sell the grapes at all his London & Country wine shops. I think I mentioned to him what a splendid wall it would be for a vinery. The Pulham rocks, & dripping well must be great improvements. I do not remember Mrs. Hughes having written to me. If I had received her letter I should certainly have replied to it, & I hope you told her so.
I finished my Ex.[aminatio]n papers (1120) last Tuesday. They were rather stiff and no real good ones from our point of view! The following are samples of a few I have kept.
Q.8. What is sideral and what is mean
Ans.w[er] Mean time is that time when all the years have elapsed we count up all the numbers of days and divide by the number of weeks.
Q.3 The cause of the glow seen
above volcanoes during an eruption at night.
Ans. The glow seen about it at night is the moon shining on the particles of snow and making them glow.
I hope your biology and botany answers were more brilliant than these, even if less amusing. How do you think you got on? With such an excellent teacher as you have had you ought to have got 80 or 90 marks - and 65 is enough to get a first class. If All the questions are correctly answered you get 100.
Aunt Bessie is coming tomorrow & I suppose we shall then go [on] a few excursions, - but the heat has knocked Ma up. The Land Nat.[ionalisatio]n Meeting is on the 23rd. and I have now to write my Address which is going to be on Herbert Spencer's new book "Justice" - in which he gives up L.[and] Nat[ionalisatio]n. - and the german book "Freeland". The garden looks very nice now, as all the Irises are out& the roses coming. Mr. Marshall tells me you had Nutwood gooseberry tart, & I suppose you took home lots of flowers.
Give my kind remembrances to Miss Macdonald, & believe
Your affectionate Papa

Nightmare over, Lord Hanningfield dreams of prison reform
Posted: August 02, 2012|
LORD Hanningfield is hiring a parliamentary researcher and judging by this photograph – he needs it.
The former leader of Essex County Council was snapped by a fellow passenger at 3pm last Tuesday, grabbing forty winks on the train from London.
The 71-year-old returned to the House of Lords in April after his suspension and is now on the lookout for an assistant.
According to the advert, posted on political jobs website w4mpjobs.org, the 71-year-old peer is on the hunt for an "exceptional individual" to help him in his quest to highlight the need for prison reform and change attitudes to mental health.
Related content
The advert read: "Lord Hanningfield is a non-aligned member of the House of Lords.
"In 2011, he was convicted around his parliamentary expenses and sentenced to nine months imprisonment, serving just over two.
"Previously he was leader of Essex County Council and a front bench spokesman for the Conservative Party.
"Lord Hanningfield is keen to use his recent experiences and position in the House of Lords to highlight the need for penal reform and a greater understanding and acceptance of mental health issues. To do this he is looking for an exceptional individual to assist him."
The peer had previously told the Chronicle that he was eager to get back to work after a "nightmare" two years and that prison reform and mental health issues would be his main focus.
The position, the advertisement continues, needs someone with astute political, diplomatic and communication skills. with experience of working in a political environment.
Salary is dependent on experience and the position starts in October.
Lord Hanningfield, real name Paul White, was found guilty in May of falsely claiming nearly £14,000 in overnight accommodation and fraudulent travel expenses from the House of Lords when, in fact, he had returned to Essex by train or car.
He was banned from the second chamber in November and was forbidden to return until he repaid £28,000 to the House.
He told the Chronicle: "I'm trying to carve out a new future for myself.
"I'm getting back into the swing of things and I'm really trying to get organised for the autumn.
"I want to get back to being a full time peer – I've been in public service for 40 years, had a blip, and now I'm desperate to get back to work."

The Daily 10: What Every Parent Can Do to Enhance Baby's First Year
Have a little baby? Thinking about infant IQ already? I know I was when my kids were tiny. Check out this fascinating advice from expert Deborah White (at left), founder of Innovate Your Baby and author of a new parenting book called Time You Can't Get Back. She believes you can make your child smarter for the long term–starting now!
"Parents spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on their children to help them learn. They pay for prestige pre-schools, the latest apps, tutors, study guides, private schools and the latest technology to help give their children the best odds of success. However, research proves that those same parents can give their kids an academic advantage and a boost in IQ simply by practicing The Daily 10 during the first 12 months of their life.
A baby's brain is developing huge numbers of neurological connections which lay the groundwork for the rest of her life. A surprising number of parents (many well-educated) believe that babies mainly eat, sleep, poop and cry during their first 12 months. Parents who believe this are missing critical opportunities to help their babies develop and build lasting bonds with their children.
Classic research on babies and young toddlers shows that stimulating interactions increase IQ and lack of interaction decreases IQ (Skeels & Dye, 1939). Another key research study (Hart & Risley, 1995) shows that kids whose parents talked to them a lot, in adult language, using all types of words, had better developed vocabularies, better academic success at age 9, and even higher IQ. Here are their findings:
1. The variation in children's IQs and language abilities is relative to the amount parents speak to their children.
2. Children's academic successes at ages 9 and 10 are attributable to the amount of talk they hear from birth to age 3.
3. Parents of advanced children talk significantly more to their children than parents of children who are not as advanced.
The experts agree, and their research backs it up, that parents can significantly influence their children's intelligence. Most importantly, parents don't need to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars to accomplish this.
Incorporating my The Daily 10 from my book into your routine is a simple modification to the time you already spend with your baby. Adding these activities will pay dividends for your baby's brain development as well as increase the closeness you and your baby experience together. Keep reading…
The Daily 10 for the First Years of a Baby's Life
1. Look your baby in the eyes all of the time, especially when you are talking to him.
2. Talk to your baby in his language and yours. Baby talk is fine but be sure to talk to him like an adult too.
3. Show her how you are doing things. Hold thing up or get down at her level.
4. Let her do what you are doing. Give her a similar item to hold, like a clean diaper or wooden
5. Make diapering special. Sing. Talk to you baby.
6. Smile at your baby. Smiling sends a signal to your baby that the environment is presently safe and free of harm. This relaxes the brain and puts it into learning mode.
7. Sing to your baby regardless if you are an American Idol® contestant or not.
8. Read every day with enthusiasm. There are so many wonderful children's books. Look for big, bright pictures.
9. Eliminate or minimize electronic media. Don't park you baby in front of the TV for hours. If you do, watch it together and talk to your baby about what he is seeing on the screen.
10. Go outside as much as possible. Let your baby touch different textures, smell flowers, play with water. Be sure to tell her what she is touching and use descriptive words to describe it.
Enlist the whole family. Share The Daily 10 with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, baby's older siblings, caregivers, anyone who spends time with your baby. With everyone involved and participating, innovation becomes a routine part of your baby's life. The benefits compound as more and more people are helping him develop and build his brain each day. Your child will only be an infant once.
Innovate Your Baby, founded by parenting expert, author and keynote speaker, Deborah White, is the new initiative aimed at helping all babies get the best brain development start in life. In her book Time You Can't Get Back, Deborah shows parents how to modify the time they already spend with their baby using her 101 fun, easy activities that support each of The Daily 10. Innovate Your Baby's goal is to raise the level of early brain development in all babies. Check out the website and email Deborah if you have questions."Add a Comment

A drum beat is the most important part of nearly every song. The drums set the pace for the other players in the group and help to keep everyone in time. Because drums are so crucial, the question has to be asked, what do you do if you don't have a drummer? The answer is actually quite simple; you invest in a drum machine. With a drum machine you can easily build your own beat to play over and listeners will be none the wiser. Check out a track like 1999 by Prince and you'll hear that drum machines can be seamlessly integrated into your style. Whether you're recording demos at home, hits in the studio, or performing live for thousands of fans, there is a drum machine here that is perfect for you.
If you're not entirely sure where to begin your search, you should probably take a look at some of our best sellers. An option such as the ALESIS SR-16 Drum Machine, for example, offers 233 built in drum and rhythm samples that can be mixed and matched at will, as well as 50 pre-set patterns that were actually played by top studio drummers. It also features MIDI implementation, a footswitch input, editing capabilities and velocity-sensitive pad buttons. Incredibly popular among song writers, live performers, and remixers, this is a great all-around drum machine.

Below is the poem entitled My mother which was written by poet
Harman. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Michael Harman
she was an angry woman
not much love,
she wouldnt put up with a man
abusing her,
the mistake women made then,
prostitution for security,
selling your heart for money,
she regretted having me,
lost freedom,
tied down,
single mom, poor,
abused by the culture,
her love was shown
in that she didnt abandon us,
even though she was tempted,
her mother wasnt that strong,
my heart didnt value that,
i wanted to be wanted, loved.
I saw the other children,
wanted, loved, rich,
my blinders on,
rose coloured glasses,
envy, despair, no self esteem,
worthlessness, less than human,
not expensive enough clothes,
not nice enough car,
"drop me off a block from school"
"I am not shopping at wal-mart"
something i didnt notice then
i have always been blessed with beauty
i never even saw the girls that adored me
too afraid, to poor, to stupid,
If my mother didnt love me, how could another?
greedy, selfish women, angry,
years of oppression, and taking it out on me,
the male, the enemy, "no love from mommy".
Now i pay the price for my fathers oppression.
the gay guys arent as wierd as i thought,
at least they are getting laid.
The women i meet now,
if i love them
i am not good enough for them
if i use them or tell them how pathetic they are,
they love me, addicted, cant leave.
On occassion i love a weaker girl,
i see their potential,
usually sexually abused as a child,
they will leave, hate me,
for my honesty,
too afraid of love, of closeness,
get pregnant and leave or kill themself,
one or the other, such drama,
If a child wont end their suffering
then death will.
What did i do to deserve this?
