Beilein encouraged in the early going
Michigan has begun practice in anticipation of an August trip to Europe in which the Wolverines will play four games in four days. Head coach John Beilein has already started to get a bit of a feel for how his team is coming together.
Only four days in, Beilein has seen several positives.
"It's been exciting just to see the development of the guys from last year and get a good look at our young guys," said Beilein. "There have been some good things, then some things where we have a lot of work to do.
"You have this rare opportunity to do this every four years, like leap year. We can see what we have, work at what we have and give these guys some great experience for basketball and a wonderful cultural experience."
Some of the early positives redshirt freshman big man Blake McLimans' and sophomore guard Matt Vogrich's conditioning, sophomore point guard Darius Morris' improved shot and leadership and freshman wing Tim Hardaway's early play.
"Tim Hardaway has come in here with a great attitude focus is the word I use," said Beilein. "It's yes sir, no sir, and he appears to be picking things up as quickly as [freshman] Evan [Smotrycz]. You can tell he's really been well coached and studied the game.
"[Vogrich's] body has changed. It looks like his shot is much more consistent from what we've seen. He's going to get a chance over there to now adjust between whether he plays small forward or off guard. He's trying to learn both. I've seen improvement, but it's three days of drills.
"Blake was 240 pounds when we weighed him the other day [up from 200 in high school]. That's been a big change for him. Because of Jordan [Morgan's shoulder] injury and Jon [Horford] is just learning, Blake is the one that knows the most about what he's doing. He went in where DeShawn was playing and he's right there, right now. I've been pleased you'll see a different body out there."
Morris has developed much better rotation on his shot, and the results have been obvious.
"Going into his senior year, he missed that whole summer I think he came out of there compensating for a bad back and we saw some things where he was not balanced," said Beilein. "He was on his toes the whole time. You do not want to shoot on your toes the whole time you want to finish off your toes, but it's like running only on your toes. We saw that, filmed it in the spring he's worked hard on it and he's shot the ball very well so far.
"I've really been pleased with number one, his leadership right now he's really put in a lot of time. If what he tells me is true, he's shot thousands and thousands of shots. I have no reason to believe he hasn't."
Other notes from Wednesday's presser and practice:
• Smotrycz broke his toe playing wiffle ball about a week before he came, and he is still not cleared to go full court and all out. He seemed tentative at times Wednesday.
"We have run options in the offense, drills, shooting I sense he is a guy that's going to pick things up very quickly," said Beilein.
Horford is working on learning the offense, while Colton Christian showed some athleticism and knocked down some jumpers Wednesday.
"Jon Horford I look at his long body that has got a ton of athleticism to it. He's long and learning the game, just wants to be coached. In a limited time you've seen some very good things.
"Colton Christian pulled his hamstring in the first few weeks and has still not been cleared. He's been limited to half court activity, but he's got great bounce. You can see already he may be a defensive not enforcer yet, but a physical defensive presence we've been missing at the 4/3 position. Zack Novak, we measured him at under 6-4. We were really undersized there, but Colton will help us there."
• Redshirt freshman big man Jordan Morgan will be cleared soon following a six-month shutdown following shoulder surgery, but he participated in every event and looked solid and healthy.
• The Wolverines didn't play much 1-3-1 defense last year and won't experiment much in Europe with such a young team, though they have the pieces to run it better. Beilein speculated on some of the possible combinations.
"What's essential to the 1-3-1 is length, which we have not had for some time," said Beilein. "Having a big center, a guy on top that can really touch the ball the percentage is only about 20 percent less, like 60-40 [that we've played it compared to man]. Last year was probably 80/20, maybe 90/10.
"We haven't even talked about it yet. The 10 days of practice with a young team we'll get into it, just so we can teach from it. The last time we did that with an experienced team we went and played the Czech Republic, guys that were all 30 years old, and they ripped it apart because we hadn't practiced it a lot. We had a pretty experienced team, but when you have smart, cerebral passers and shooters, and they really understand the angles and geometry of the game, it's tough to play."
Novak isn't the tallest, but he could see some time on the top.
"Novak isn't long but he anticipates very well. That first year he was a freshman, when we had the great win the The Garden (over UCLA) and the great win against Duke, he was on the top for that," Beilein added. "We may go back there. But he rebounds so well from the wing, he may play underneath sometimes because he's a candidate to play forward or guard now."
• Playing with a 24-second shot clock proved tough at times in Wednesday's practice. Beilein expects it will be similar overseas.
"The 24-second clock is going to have a huge effect on their ticker when they get over there. You have eight seconds to get it over, and guess what? Now you have 16 seconds to run things then still get something as the clock gets to five, four, three ," he said.
"I was watching tape from last year, and at least the tape I had we played at a speed that was a little too slow for us. We need to pop the ball more, move the ball quicker. They are going to watch that today, and then we're going to try to do that. We'll have a lot of shot clock violations over there."
• Beilein is already getting a sense of what his freshmen can do.
"I'm pretty sure where Evan will fit, Tim Hardaway, what is his best position," he said. "He is at 190 now Manny [Harris] got a lot of rebounds and did a lot of great things in the paint and never got to 190 the whole time. Tim being 190 at 18 years is pretty good for where he's going. You'll enjoy his progress over the next four years. The early indications are he is a guy that's good, that has the attitude to really improve."
• Walk-on Eso Akunne should get significant run in Europe.
"He's got some point guard vision, more of a big guard body especially over there with the 24-second clock, he's going to be playing," said Beilein. "We'll play people and see how they do. We're going to try to keep our offense very simple to the automatics that we've always run.
"I really like the way he's shooting. He used to have a little sidespin on his shot, but he's been shooting the ball well these three days. He's worked hard."

About National Microfinance BankJordan is a small country located in the heart of the Middle East's Levant region. Regional instability has caused Jordan to be excluded from global investments for decades. Additionally, a lack of natural resources—including water and energy—places tremendous strain on the Jordanian economy, over 80% of which consists of small businesses, largely in the service industry. Despite their importance in the economy, many of these businesses are excluded from the banking sector because of their size. Microfinance institutions like National Microfinance Bank offer them an opportunity to enhance and expand their businesses. NMB also offers its services to other underprivileged peoples in Jordan, providing them with loans to pursue educational goals and improve their homes and livelihoods.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

A study analyses the dietary patterns of the adult Spanish population with high cardiovascular risk. The results reveal a high consumption of both red meat and fish. However, whilst eating lots of cured meats is associated with greater weight gain and a higher obesity rate, the consumption of fish is linked to lower glucose concentrations and a smaller risk of developing diabetes. Mercedes Sotos Prieto, lead author of the study which forms part of the Predimed study (Prevention with a Mediterranean Diet) and researcher at the University of Valencia explains how "in Mediterranean countries, consumption of foods that typically form part of the diet here has decreased in recent decades. The consumption of saturated fats mainly from red meats and industrial baking has increased and this is really worrying."Conducted in the Valencian Community on 945 people (340 men and 605 women) between 55 and 80 years of age and with a high cardiovascular risk, the aim of the study was to understand dietary patterns in terms of meat and fish consumption. It also sought to understand the correlation between the Mediterranean diet and its association with cardiovascular risk factors. The results were published in the Nutrición Hospitalaria journal and show that the studied Mediterranean population eat a large amount of red meat and fish. However, the consumption of fish is associated with a decreased prevalence of diabetes and lower glucose concentrations whereas the consumption of red meat, especially cured meats is related to increased weight gain and obesity. The researcher points out that "the red meat consumption of the sample population reaches an average of once a day, which is high in comparison to dietary recommendations. This could be influenced by many weight-loss diets which recommend eating grilled veal."Eating red meat in excess is linked to higher cardiovascular risk, higher blood pressure, diabetes and a moderate decrease in life expectancy mainly due to cancer or heart disease. In contrast, fish appears in the Mediterranean diet and has health benefits for the heart. Despite being a cross-sectional study that does not determine a causal effect, its authors confirm that there are many similar studies where the consumption of fish, both white and, even more so oily fish, is associated with a lower risk of developing diabetes type 2. "Various hypotheses have been put forward that attempt to explain why the consumption of fish can be related to diabetes," they explain. "The increase of omega-3 in the cells of the skeletal muscles improves insulin sensitivity." "It is important to understand the dietary patterns of the Spanish population in order to learn whether dietary habits are changing. We should therefore strengthen dietary education," outlines Mercedes Sotos Prieto, who goes on to say that "we ought to establish dietary intervention programmes so that we do not stray from the Mediterranean diet. In other words, such a diet involves decreasing the amount of red meat that we eat and maintaining equal levels of fish consumption." Gender DifferencesThe high intake of saturated fats from red and cured meat consumption (7.4 +/- 4.7 times a week) was more frequent in men. Women proved to eat more white meat, especially chicken and turkey. As for fish consumption (4.5 +/- 2.6 times a week), no significant differences were found between men and women. In general, women scored higher for "healthy dietary patterns" or "healthy diets" compared to men.

Kids Coconut Water w/Banana
Jax Coco Kidz
BevNET Review
Last Updated: 5/15/2014 8:43 AM
Of the the three fruit flavors that make up the Jax Coco Kidz line, this one, Banana, is the only one that was successful. The other two, Calamansi and Guyabano, neither taste good nor are marketable flavors. As for this one, the blend of coconut water, banana and coconut sugar tastes surprisingly good, which certainly makes us wonder why we haven't seen the combination before. It's a satisfying flavor, although it's much bolder than the company's straight coconut water and is, therefore, slightly less thirst-quenching. Packaging is a clunky 100 mL (3.38 oz.) wedge-shaped carton with an attached straw. Aside from being small, we had difficulty with the straw and getting some of the containers to stand upright. Hopefully Jax Coco can work those kinks out. Otherwise, the branding takes a playful approach, which is fine, but the branding doesn't feel overly memorable in its current form. Overall, it's a good product, but there's definitely a lot of room for improvement.

SocGen Tries To Make Sense Of The Complete Chaos That Is Europe Ahead Of The Greek Vote Of Confidence, Fails
If anyone has a clear idea what is going in Europe, you are smarter than us, and may move on to a different post. For everyone else, here is a must read piece from SocGen that tries to make sense of what is rapidly becoming the biggest clusterfuck in modern European history, in which everyone hates the outcome that is predetermined by the bankers, yet nobody knows just how to achieve it.
Courtesy of SocGen's James Nixon.
The initiative now lies with Greece
The morning after the night before; or is anyone really sure what has been agreed so far by the Eurogroup over the last two days. How much one wonders is an agreement "in principle" actually worth? This being Europe details of the plan continue to emerge from disparate sources. It's now clear that some of the ideas discussed by in March have re-emerged. Hence the effective lending capacity of the EFSF is to be increased to its full €440bn by increasing the government guarantees from 120% to 156%. At the same time, in an attempt to make it easier for Greece, Ireland and Portugal to issue debt in their own name, the Eurogroup has agreed that ESM financing to these three countries will not be senior to existing debt. Beyond these initiatives, the two hurdles to a new Greek bailout remain agreement on the exact form of private sector involvement and getting the Greek parliamentary approval for the latest round of austerity measures.
On the former, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble has indicated that he wants to open discussions with private creditors to secure their contribution. This hints that Angela Merkel's much trumpeted compromise with Nicolas Sarkozy on Friday is less than a complete capitulation. Weekend press reports suggested that Mr Schäuble intends to pitch a "compromise" to the ECB which would see the EFSF issue debt which could be offered to the Greek banks. This would be consistent with the efforts to re-dimension the EFSF and earlier hints that the lion's share of any private sector contribution would fall to Greek banks. Of course, how the ECB views this compromise remains to be seen; certainly the idea of the Greek banks taking on new debt that they can post as collateral at the ECB smacks of monetising debt. Mr Schäuble said on Monday that no "additional incentives" are needed to get investors to contribute voluntarily to a new aid package for Greece. "The incentive lies in the fact that everybody, especially creditors, has an interest in a good, stable development," Mr Schäuble told reporters after the meeting. "And because they have an interest, they also have a joint responsibility and that does not require additional incentives."
What is so surprising is how much the Eurogroup appears to have handed the initiative to Greece itself; if the Government falls after Tuesday's vote of confidence presumably we reach the point where the crisis starts to get really sporting. And, if there weren't hurdles enough, the latest from Mr Papandreou is a referendum on the whole kit and caboodle in the autumn. The risk for the Eurogroup is that the gambit of pressuring Papandreou may now backfire with some of the Greek press seeing this as a full frontal attack on the PM. In many respects the situation in Greece very closely mirrors the political situation in Portugal. The right-wing business orientated opposition is unhappy that their spendthrift socialist government still haven't bitten the bullet and undertaken root and branch reform of the public sector. Hence Mr Papandreou continues to rely too heavily on hypothetical increases in tax revenue rather than wield the axe over his own supporters. As in Portugal, the opposition may be prepared to bring down the government over this if they can and force new elections. This would leave the Eurogroup having to negotiate with the different political parties in Greece in order to secure agreement on further austerity.
There will now be another extra-Eurogroup meeting on 3 July with the aim of finally agreeing a new Greek package conditional on Greece having finally passed its Medium Term Fiscal Strategy. Parliamentary approval of new deficit cutting measures and of the privatization plan would "pave the way" for the disbursement by mid July of the next €12bn tranche of bilateral lending to Greece. In the interim European Commission and Central bank officials alongside the IMF will be back in Athens this week to draw up a "memorandum of understanding" with
the Greek government – providing it survives the vote of confidence on Tuesday. The Greek parliament will vote though the Medium Term Fiscal Strategy based on the "memorandum of understanding" on or around June 28.

It's going to be historic, with the PIIGS in succession wanting to all default, there is the contagion.
ANd the US markets have completely lost the plot = major bulltrap
Sudden Debt, where are you? This is your bailiwick, dude.
Sudden Debt is from Belgium, right? Probably he had a heart stroke after reading this.
Or he is too busy selling everything he has and using the proceedings to buy PMs.
Sudden debt is from belgium but i always see him posting in late mornings in america like he is keeping an american schedule.
That boy sometimes sounds more american than my new york friends.
And EUR goes to 1.55
Euro/dollar are port and starboard of the same ship foundering in an ocean of debt. It lists one way, it lists the other, as the increasingly frantic passengers rush from one side to the other. Which side will take water & go under first no one knows, nor does it matter for the ultimate outcome: the ship sinks.
or the trilateral lean-to of the three drunkards Yen, Dollar and Euro.
The solution is to make both sides as close to even as possible. Dollar Euro parity, coming to a forex cafe near you.
The deck chair arrangement must be perfect in order to have the proper effect on the passengers. When does the band appear playing Nearer my God to thee?
That is to metaphor what haiku is to poetry. Well done.
LOL...i read it, anyway...
It's the old cliche: When you owe the bank a little bit, it's your problem. When you owe the bank a lot, it's the Bank's problem. Greece owes just about everybody a lot, and Greece will set the terms. If the Banks (ECB et al) don't like it, Greece will tell them to stand in line to receive their new Drachma's along with the rest of its creditors.
yeh, it's pretty funny really, you got all the politicians and bankers posturing and saying a bunch of nothing....painfully, slowly realizing the can to kick down the road has left town, and then you got Greece over there, the turnip, saying fuck off.
The only bloke to get anything organised in Europe was from Austria - and it ended badly.
Other than that, all other European politician lead solutions end in abject failure, so Greece is toast, the EURO is toast and Europe is toast.
Enjoy the farce while it lasts.
That's a gross overstatement.
Just because a monetary system fails, doesn't mean that everything is lost.
Or that this is the end of the world.
No one got killed.
No infrastructure destroyed.
It's just some numbers on some bank accounts, and some pricing signs.
This is not the first time we saw a currency reform in world history,
and certainly not the last.
So what.
That's not true
There was an earlier guy from Corsica. He organized perhaps a bigger portion of europe than that jewboy from Austria
And before that there was Charlemagne. And Julius Julius Caesar did a bang up job. And there were all those popes. Never worked.
The latency is terrible. Is it my ISP, or is someone messing with ZH?
>>If anyone has a clear idea what is going in Europe, you are smarter than us<<
I am not smarter than you but Bismarck is. A 150 yr ago he said:
It is easy to build a tower in air, but very difficult to tear it appart.
That is exactly what is going on in Europe
The end will come not because the people revolt against the Illuminati but because the Illuminati starts to come unglued.
Only if the people are sheeple incapable of motivating and organizing themselves; i.e. only if democracy doesn't work because people are too stupid to participate in it - well, let's see, where do people participate n democracy?
US presidential election voter participation: Ca. 40%.
EU national parliamentary elections voter participation: ca. 90%.
So where, in this world, are the passive, disengaged, led and corralled sheeple concentrated?
Like the Greeks that are out in the street some of us are past the voting scams. When the Fascist have taken over and you lose every election you stop wasting the trip to the poll .
Max Keiser giving a speech to the crowds in Greece!
Its like euro quantum physics, if you think you understand it, then you really dont understand it.
When you think about it, Europe's problems have always stemmed from some idiot trying to "unify" it. Usually, he uses lots of force and kills a lot of people in an attempt to "organize" what is inherently chaotic. Napoleon and Hitler are obvious examples. But you can go back to war after war where some idiot king thought he could conquer europe and convert it into a superior country ruled by him. And all these guys had some measure of good intentions. That this has been tried so many times and has never worked should be a clue.
It matters not that this time it's bunch of recycled hyper-socialist bureaucrats trying the same idiotic stunt The result will be the same for the exact same reasons.
Is there anything worse than provincial HomeLand US citizens feeling smug and superior to places they do not understand, have never visited and therefore can only spout mindless cliches about?
It may make you feel great to say "stupid" three times back to back, but it isn't very informative. Instead, try to make a case for the superior character of US social cohesion and democratic participation in US political and social economic processes. Your theory, should you have one or be able to manufacture one, will be swiftly tested in the next 12 months.
The United States is still one country, whereas "Europe" is not.
It would be like trying to organize all of North America and the Caribbean under one currency, and then wondering why little Haiti or Cuba is resulting in all of these problems.
I would say the US is actually multiple nations held together by a common language, currency and force. There is little common feeling and in general the regions want vastly different things out of life and government. We arent a people- its more of a very dysfunctional family made up of Billy Yank, Johnny Reb, the Marlboro Man and Suzy Moonbeam.
If and when the currency and/or economy unravels the political structure will also. I dont see the south sticking around for long, it is to the US what the Ukraine was to the USSR.
What was the UKRAINE to the USSR??? A metaphor? Seriously, if the South wants to go, I wouldn't fight and I don't know many guys up here (ND) who would either, and I hope they take Florida and Texas with them, fine with me.(Run on sentence, sorry). We'll be eating sugar beets and winter wheat but we'll have oil.
California? SELL IT TO THE CHINESE!
Resolution to the PIGS problem is very simple : example Greece.
Today, Monday, at midnight Greece officially leaves the the Euro and creates the NEW Drachma. It is devalued 40% to the EURO relative the OLD Drachma rate. On this basis the banks issue a unilateral voluntary "hair cut" signed at 10 am Tuesday morning, with a 50% write down of Greek debt. ie : The banks take a knock of around 175 Billions Euros with a new payment extended schedule offered.
On Tuesday, mid-day Greece officially re-joins the EUro group again. Its assets and liabilities are now revalued in the New Drachma rate. Greece now has less debt and is a darn side competitve.
Rinse and repeat for Portugal and Ireland. Problem solved and German and French banks are much leaner but the sovereign debt is over.
ECB issues bonds from then on based on a common fiscal policy of all EU members. No more national bond issues. Voilà my recipe made from Greek honey and rich olives.
Exactly right eureka Napoleon was the greatest champion for what we in the USA consider Freedom and Liberty in the history of the planet . Napoleon was the success of the Citizen as a share holder in their Government , while the Brits bowed to their king. Napoleon was determined to spread Liberty around the World even if he had to kill some of the ones they were trying to free.
Is there anything worse than provincial HomeLand US citizens feeling smug and superior to places they do not understand, have never visited and therefore can only spout mindless cliches about?
To answer your question, yes, the European little penis syndrom is worse.
You have it wrong; it is the guy with all the guns who has the small penis - that's why he needs all the guns. Psyc 101. Happy studying.
This may be true NOW. But 10 years ago, europe was an immature bootlicker of the USA, with an inferiority-complex. Heck, the whole EU and EMU thingy was promoted with the message of europe no longer consisting of small nations, but instead being a bid bad block, like the USA, russia, etc. Now, they may have enough confidence (and resentment towards the USA), to no longer feel inferior for such stupid reasons, but back then they did.
Fully agree. Europe consists simply of too different cultures and economies. And why should this be a problem that needs to be "fixed"? There is no need to make all europe same. All that may be useful and desireable, is to have an efficient way for those nations to discuss and cooperate on mutual interests, and with mutual consent. Perhaps also the ability to launch projects in which multiple nations (not necessarily all of them) participate. But not as a "top-down hierachy", but instead those nations cooperating with mutual consent.
We don't need europe without borders.... we just need an efficient way to cooperate and coordinate with mutual consent.
i still can't understand why greece must leave the euro if they default
will Illinois leave the dollar zone when they default
I hear the gyros in Greece are great.
i still can't understand why greece must leave the euro if they default
will Illinois leave the dollar zone when they default
Quite simple actually. Europeans are trying US recipes, they are on the same path as the US was in the 1800s, how they built their so called melting pot.
So if you understand gangs, you understand the following with ease.
The Euro currency is sold as a protection. With outside threats put in the lime light. Yet one other threat and one very actual is the Euro threat itself.
Being part of the Euro currency protects from the Euro itself.
If Greece defaults and stays in the Euro, they will keep being protected from the Euro threat.
Once out of the Euro, they will have to face the Euro threat and Europeans will use Greece as an example of what happens when you leave the Eurozone.
"If you let the gang down, the gang lets you down. Better stick with us if you dont want to fear us."
If you understand the gangs, you understand US citizenism.
Just out of curiosity, anyone know the over/under on the confidence vote? Couldn't find on in-trade
I'm still waiting for some banker to tell me how they intend to pyramid debt forever.
Maybe a small pamphlet or website would help, perhaps thats what they were discussing at the Bilderberg meeting?
We sheeple need all the help we can get, when it come to understanding the great ones....

Good that ZH finally admits that it has been spouting garbage (for more than an year). Now, STFU
have you met kito?
Thanks for contributing.
If you have known it was all junk for a year already, I am suprised you are still here. Maybe you are to dumb to find the back button on your browser, so you could head back to cnbc.com.
Ah, a Goldman employee is with us tonight - welcome to Rehab
Excuuuuuse me - PIMCO has been also talking about this GARBAGE for 1.3 years, see the famous "Ring of Fire" essay by Mr. Gross. He runs billions of yet-to-be-garbage bucks. (IO Feb 2010). Most intelligent commentators, of whom you seem to be notably excluded, see brinks-Person-ship ahead, difficulties, and much more discussion. STFU IS NOT AN OPTION. Sorry.
Personally I am Most Interested in whether the Banksters WIN, or LOSE. In your opinion, I feel only Amusement.
Mr. Troll, meet the Ring of Fire. FLAME ON!
Surprise. Look what happens when govmunts sell the power to print free paper money to a few greedy, psychopathtic, asshole billionaires in exchange for some measly campaign contributions.
Ever heard of the State Bank of North Dakota run by state employees? Might want to see where ND's state economy stands on unemployment, interest on savings, growth, etc.
IMO Greece will partial default (it has already) and then leave the EZ, but it's lose/lose, as Ireland will catch on with the default option, then Spain and Portugal. Essentially the EZ will shrink. They either roll with that, or we get a contagion of civil disputes. If the ECB/FED (USD swaps) go mad, oil inflation will take out EZ backstop - Germany.
Europe is going into a recession with regions going into a depression or a squeez between extreme stagflation.
It will be Germany asking the crap countries to leave, they do not want inflation.
The EUR will tank, maybe parity...but its going down.
Who needs Greece? Nobody, except of course the Greeks.
By appearing to give the reins and responsibility to Greece itself to negotiate the terms of any solution to its exuberant debt and insufficient productivity and revenue, the entire responsibility for any outcome rests entirely with the greeks. Rather brilliant, I would say.
Whatever the final outcome, matters little to EU. In fact, any outcome has its specific advantages;
if Greece were to leave the EUR and or even EU, it benefits the EU segment which is increasingly against Turkey's future contemplated entry into EU; if Europe-Middle East bridgehead Greece can't deliver EU standards performance on a range of issues, how could possibly Turkey?
if Greece's creditors roll over debts, take some haircuts - and both creditors and Greek debtors get some handouts in return for various conditions - everybody loses a little in the short term and wins in the long term, because presumably Greece hereafter integrates EU standards of prodcutivity, budget restraints and stringent government revenue collection regimes.
In other words - every media touted concern is vastly exagerated, and part of market manipulation schemes as much as or more than expressions of rational concern.
Watch in stead for US municipal and state budget crisis to hit the media in Q3. Perhaps then US citizens, media, observers and commentators will get their priorities straight and start sweeping the dirt out of their own "Greeces", from California To Florida, from Washington to Illinois. I assure you, everything about Greece is going to be forgotten very soon and a much bigger, much more relevant and clear and present danger will mount to the forefront of US minds.
England just said they won't bailout Greece...next will be Germany.
Of course. England is an island - and if it could, it would put an outboard motor on itself and quickly steer itself to the Caribbean and be the 51st star and state in Old Glory/US.
England IS US's "boy"(and -toy). England takes its orders from the White House.
England has helped the US oligarchs try to destroy the EUR for quite some time.
Hence, to achieve some balance of perspective, I coined the term the "USUK"s.
US+UK, The original Globa-Fi-Scum, who rigged and invented the "piigs", merely to cover up their own inadequacies. There is something ROTTEN in the Anglo-Empire - however westwardly it shifted itself, it still believes that might is right - except might has morphed into nothing but smoke & mirrors.
Well, we helped the B of E oligarchs a couple generations ago so fair is fair.
We all need to focus on our core competencies, for us it is hegemon. Not too many opportunities for the retired hegemon, or the hegemon has-been.
Is this why Tony Blair was so insistent that England join the EURO?
Do you still read newspapers or are you hanging on to some old school, coffee shop attempts at quasi-intellectual discussion?
If SocGen doesn't know by now what is going to happen, it's already too late.
Greece is in default.
They're just trying to figure out how to rearrange the deck chairs so they can avoid calling it a default, because the ECB's pile of PIIG bonds will make them insolvent. But at the end of the day it's still going to be a default and none of them are going to fool anybody and it's not going to matter how they end up trying to disguise it. (J. Turk, N. Farage)

An organized joint default is needed by Greece, Ireland and Portugal...then watch the games begin, whack a mole banker will a popular sport very soon..that sounds like a good app!
My take is:
This is an effort by the European banks and the elites, underclasses and governments of the PIIGS to foist the results of their profligacy on the middle class of Germany and its future generations.
They will partially succeed.
Going by the comments here I am beginning to think that Euroland really is going down this time. I am basing that judgment on the testiness (bitchiness) of some of the posters here who seem to have had some crazy attachment to the EU, (instead of their locality/region).
The same thing is going on in the U.S. People should have tended to business at home, close to home. That is where we all got into trouble, believing all of this transnational claptrap that was to make us all one, (and all rich).
"Weekend press reports suggested that Mr Schäuble intends to pitch a "compromise" to the ECB which would see the EFSF issue debt which could be offered to the Greek banks."
Wow! Monetize = Inflation. This is TARP over a secular default.
Does anyone know about the Zero Hedge Team....any contact number.....?
mercifully, this soon turns from a conversation about politics to a conversation about cash flow
tribal rivals for a thousand years. look, they dont like each other, never have never will.
nobody dares time it. cuz you look stupid. Fine , i will look stupid.
How about right fucking now brothers and sisters.
look at the effort it took to beat germany, the dominant tribe of europe, and the character of the people that did it.
Was it close? One tank ditch..... aka the English channel, or i would be on ZH holding an alpenstock yodelling in my lederhosen. It does not get closer than that. Ja?
Tribes are tribes. They dont mix. Empire builders are empire builders, they can suck my anaconda.
They can't have Greece leaving or defaulting, because if they do the other PIIGS will do it also. Believe it or not, Ireland is in much more trouble than Greece but they haven't been out by the thousands to protests like Greece and Spain.
It's "uncertainty" about what corporations want (tax cuts, no regulation) over here that is keeping the stock market down. It is uncertainty about Greece and the Euro, that takes our market up.
Ladies and Gentlemen, choose your weapons.

Hey, MadCow! Ya want cash flow? Just open your wallet. This is just more 1 hr trading info.
It's all the pig Markets move on anymore. Ooops, there goes EURUSD.
asia is up EUR is down, shorts on...Greece implodes, EZ smokes...
what this means is the rating agencies are now starting to smarten up. they know that a taxpayer revolt is inevitable in the EZ. banks will have to take the pain and countries will go into defaults. a flush out. problem is the CB's may not party with this and start printing...
Dream on. If you think the ratings dips don't consider themselves a part of Goobermint, just check them out. Even better, name a single member of the bathrobe brigade that knows what a rating is, and why.
To what end? That's the one thing I don't see anyone talking about, is what does all this messing about gain? The whole basis of these 'loans' is supposedly that it will tide them over until what, growth supposedly returns? Well that theory is absolutely wrong.
It's nothing more than throwing good money after bad. Really, only idiots throw good money after bad....that and banksters who smell profits from encumbering a country with more debt.
Time. All they want is time, because they believe their BS.
"Economies always grow, because they always have."
They ignore how socialism and it's ilk destroy economies.
Morons on parade. Go long a lot of popcorn.
I'm back with my two cents worth: Personally, I really don't give a flying fuck what happens to "Grease", the YewRo, or the rest of the PIIGS Sty. It's ALL been an organized clusterfuck from the beginning, and as someone stated above, YOU should be concentrating on YOUR own economic realm BY BUYING PHYSICAL GOLD AND SILVER on the "droop". Fuck Europe (although I've had many cool times there, mainly smuggling from Morrocco to Spain, but that's another story). WE have more important shit to worry about, like how do WE get this asshole for a president out of the country, and the rest of the bought off spineless minions in the legislature in a hole somewhere for starters. Then burn the Wall Street Shylocks at the stake. Maybe a bit more than two cents worth.
Market meltdown on first Molotov awaiting Greek political madness.
Market meltdown on first Molotov awaiting Greek political madness.
The journey from here will be predictably hellish for all. The outcome however, quite uncertain.
In can't find 'Netherlands' on the post. I can't find 'Finland' also. They must have a say on the bailout as EMU states, probably 'No'. It can't thus pass.

Lots for Sale: $1.00: Dirt Cheap Property
What to buy: Does the high cost of real estate cause you to despair that you will never be able to own your own home. Never fear. Just move to Fairmount, North Dakota and you can buy Lots for only $1.00. The climate may be brutally cold in winter but summers can be pleasant, and if you don't like big crowds, they will never find you here.
Because of declining populations in this part of the country some communities are going to extreme measures to attract new residents. Fairmount, North Dakota may not be everybody's ideal place to live, but for some folks it is the center of the universe.
The telephone number on the "Lots for Sale" sign is for the Fairmount City Hall.
Fairmount Local Customs
First English Lutheran Church
The very name of First English Lutheran Church is a reminder that this part of the United States was settled by pioneer immigrants from northern Europe, especially the Scandinavian countries and Germany.
No doubt the "First" Lutheran Church to be established in Fairmount, as in many other towns in Minnesota and the Dakotas, held services in some language other than English - perhaps German or Swedish.
When I was a 20-year-old youth evangelist itinerating in the Dakotas during the summer of 1964 I had to privilege to speak - through an interpreter - in churches which held their services in the German language. As the older generations have passed on, the younger population has largely forgotten the languages of their ancestors and now speak English almost exclusively. However, when driving through the streets of Fairmount I noticed a young local family that appeared to be of oriental descent, and Hispanics are also spreading into the area. It would not surprise me if at some point in the near future a church here will hold services in Korean or Spanish.

PUB Redesign
FAQs | Goals | Vision | Why? | Benefits | Scope
In 2014, ASEWU and university leaders developed a proposal to redesign the Pence Union Building (PUB) to make it more usable and responsive to the needs of today's students. On February 24, 2015, the Associated Student of Eastern Washington University held a special election. EWU Students voted in favor of supporting a fee for the remodel of the Pence Union Building.
Over the next year, Eastern Washington University will be working with Perkins+Will to develop the design, construction and phasing plan.
Eastern Washington University has hired Perkins+Will (P+W) to provide architectural/engineering pre-design services for the renovation and upgrade of the Pence Union Building (PUB). The goal of the pre-design is to establish a facility that will house programs which meets the expectations of EWU students as they relate to today's modern student union building. P+W have the expertise to engage stakeholders and assist EWU in establishing the best balance of infrastructure and aesthetic improvements with appropriate building program elements.
Does this project take resources away from other campus building projects?
- Not at all. Funding the PUB redesign does not impact the Science Building or other university/academic construction projects. Academic buildings are supported by completly different funding sources.
What will the redesigned PUB look like?
- New renderings showing retail dining, student clubs and orgs space, and more can be found here.
Will there be new dining options in the redesigned PUB?
- Yes! We are excited to offer a larger, student-friendly dining area with enough space to bring in national food retail chains.
How much will students have to pay for the redesign project?
- There will be a stepped fee for current vs. future students
• $65-69 per quarter starting in 2015
• $80-85 per quarter starting in 2018
- Improve dining options
- Significantly increase student lounge and "hangout" spaces, especially for commuter students
- Develop additional collaborative workspace for student clubs and organizations
- Improve Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) and student event spaces
- Create a campus information desk
- Improve bus access and waiting area
- Update building design to be open and light-filled
- Address safety concerns
- Make building more environmentally friendly and sustainable
Foster a vibrant and welcoming campus culture through an exceptional Student Union facility and associated programs, drawing on national best practices and focused on student development and success.
The Pence Union Building (PUB) was built in 1970. It was based on the architectural trends and prevailing union models of the time, with cast concrete and brick walls, small windows, and discrete, private areas to accommodate small groups of students. Food service was unavailable initially, with residential students eating in Tawanka. In 1995, an addition to the union nearly doubled the size adding more open space and making possible the addition of dining, as well as computer labs and more meeting space. The two phases were joined and the entrance reconfigured. However, no significant renovations were made to the original facility.
While the current PUB has the appropriate square footage to accommodate the EWU student population (based on national standards*), it has a number of design deficiencies that limit student use and enjoyment, and more than $10 million of repair issues (roof and mechanicals) that put the integrity of the facility at risk. Furthermore, the PUB is situated at the crossroads of significant pedestrian and vehicular traffic, with students traversing a busy parking lot, main street, and bus station in order to gain access to the academic core of campus and the union. This renovation seeks to address all these issues.
(*10 square feet per student. At just over 100,000 square feet, the present Union is sized appropriately for the Cheney campus population, which is approximately 9,800.)
- Update design to be fresh and open
- Improve interior traffic flow and reduced wasted space
- Enhance safety
- Increase storage for students and tenants
- Enhance revenue generating operations
- Address infrastructure deficiencies, such as mechanical systems, roof, skylights
- Create space conducive to integrating social and academic environments (meeting rooms, dining options, social spaces, lounges)
- Create central information hub for students
- Allow for highlight of key departments (as identified in focus groups)
- Unify disparate services in one location
- Improve energy utilization and sustainability
- Increase social and recreational offerings for students (as identified in focus groups)
- Improve pedestrian/vehicular traffic pattern, parking and bus access (exterior)
- $35 million
- Financing support by student fee

Archived Story
Madison City Farmers Market yields multiple benefits for shoppersPublished 10:02pm Thursday, May 16, 2013
MADISON – Buying and eating local produce from the Madison City Farmers Market has numerous benefits, in addition to the good tastes.
"Locally grown produce is fresher," Mary Stallings said. Stallings serves as board of directors chairperson for the market. Produce from a supermarket or big-box store has been transported or stored for days, possibly weeks.
"Produce that you purchase at your local farmer's market has often been picked within 24 hours of your purchase," Stallings said. "This freshness not only affects the taste of your food, but the nutritional value, which declines with time."
Madison City Farmers Market is open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon at 1282 Hughes Road.
Outside their typical menus, shoppers can experience new tastes with different fruits and vegetables. "Interest in trying new foods means you eat more fruits and veggies," Stallings said.
When a person eats 'local,' he or she will consume fewer processed foods and thus less salt and fewer preservatives and refined carbohydrates. "Local food has more vitamins and minerals to boost the immune system and help prevent and fight cancer," she said.
Pasture-raised eggs, like those at the Madison market, are healthier than factory-farmed eggs. These eggs have as much as 13 times more Omega-3 fatty acids, 50 percent more folic acid, 70 percent more B12, higher levels of vitamin E, 40 percent more vitamin A, along with less bad cholesterol, Stallings said.
"Eating local means more for the local economy. According to a study by the New Economics Foundation in London, a dollar spent locally generates twice as much income for the local economy," Stallings said.
Supporting local providers supports responsible land development. "When you buy local, you give those with local open space — farms and pastures — an economic reason to stay open and undeveloped," she said.
For more information, email to email@example.com or visit madisoncityfarmersmarket.com, Facebook/madisoncityfarmersmarket and Twitter/madisonalmarket.

This comes from the MindBodyGreen blog by BY MAUREEN GILBERT where she says that she used to pray for things to be better, to heal and control, but a friend came up with:
He said he wakes up, and then out of habit looks to the sky and just says "Whatever." In other words, whatever this day brings — be it good, bad or indifferent — I will trust that things are unfolding just as they should, whether I get what I want or not. I was floored! It was so simple and profound and absolutely terrifying. Did I really have the spiritual stamina to be OK with anything and everything that life might throw my way?
I realized to be truly effective, I would add to this "Whatever" prayer to my spiritual repertoire. I also incorporate Tosha Silver's "Change Me Prayers," which give me courage, clarity, patience and forgiveness — whatever I need to internally deal with whatever I am going through now.
So why not give it a try? Your life might not turn out exactly how you thought it would, but you just might receive the serenity to accept all the "whatevers" in your life; the courage to change what you can and the wisdom to know the difference!
WHATEVER has been my call sign for many years – but my practice has been looking for things to turn out right. Another friend who knows me well brought back a gift from Guatemala – it was a T- shirt that says: Guatever. Another sign to continue my practice correctly.
SO WHATEVER WITH COURAGE, CLARITY, PATIENCE AND FORGIVENESS seems to cover everything.
Lets see what the KIN 26 day bring us without expecting super abundance from the number, it shows that our challenge is to be a light worker, deep down we have to see and that our strong point today is Silence and our guide is Compassion – so lets balance the spiritual and material today as the bridger takes effect.

10 Ergonomic Products for Your Office
Like most people who sit at a desk with a computer all day, you've probably got a sore back, throbbing knees, aching wrists, and eyestrain. Sound about right? Then you need to familiarize yourself with ergonomics.
Usernomics.com defines ergonomics as the act of "designing work environments for maximizing safety and efficiency." Ergonomics is about transforming your lifestyle and workspace into a more natural and comfortable one; in so doing, you'll achieve greater efficiency and productivity at your job.OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) at the United States Department of Labor, you should first set up your computer workstation in "neutral body positioning." That involves ensuring that your joints are naturally aligned with your workstation to reduce stress and strain on the muscles. Next, you'll want to invest in some ergonomically friendly products. They don't always come cheap, but in the long run you'll notice and appreciate the difference in comfort level. Don't know where to start looking? We've narrowed the ergonomic field down to footrests, backrests, keyboards, mice, and screen stands that will help bring comfort to your work day.
Here are some of the products featured in our "10 Ergonomic Products for Your Office" slideshow:
Kinesis Freestyle Solo Keyboard
When it comes to keyboards, you never want to use those plastic lifts underneath, which cause your hands to type in an unnatural fashion and reduce blood circulation through your wrist and hands. Rather, your hands and wrists should remain in a straight line with your forearms while typing. This can be achieved easily with the Kinesis Freestyle Solo Keyboard ($99 to $139 direct), which was designed specifically for the Mac. You can remove the Pivot Tether from the keyboard so that the left- and right-hand sides can be separated, offering more comfort. It has a zero-degree slope, which minimizes the height of the keyboard and reduces wrist extension. Double-wide delete and escape keys are easier for your fingers to press.
Contour Design Roller Mouse Free
Here's an interesting new way to mouse. The Roller Mouse Free, from Contour Design, is a narrow bar in which you roll your fingertips up and down and from side to side simultaneously to navigate the cursor on your screen. Contour Design says that using a traditional mouse with one hand causes your muscle groups to compensate for the weight of one arm, leading to tightness and pain in the shoulder, neck, and elbow. But there's no need to clutch or hold the Roller Mouse, or flex your fingers; you can use both hands to mouse, keeping your hands within the keyboard area. It's compatible with both Windows and Mac systems, and sells for $219.95 direct.
Now check out the rest of the products in our "10 Ergonomic Products for Your Office" slideshow, including the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 7000, Adesso Tru-Form Pro Contoured Ergonomic Keyboard, Humanscale Switch Mouse, Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 Wireless, Targus Ergonomic Single LCD Display Arm, Ergotron Neo-Flex Notebook Lift Stand, Kensington SoleSaver Footrest, and Kensington Memory Foam Back Rest.

Sounds tasty! To lower the cal count & keep the flavor try to add PB2 next time – IT is so good!
Believe me when I say that I haven't met a carb I didn't like. Plump, chewy bagels hot out of the oven slathered with butter, flaky almond croissants, oatmeal piled high with fresh fruit, rye toast — I can rhapsodize on the glories of the carb for days. However, after I had a lengthy discussion with my doctor about my diet, which boiled down to excuses (mine), dismay + shock (his), I need to cut down on my consumption of carbs, considerably. Add brutal workouts and a need to move about the city without feeling sluggish, I started blitzing morning protein-packed smoothies.
Many of you are probably thinking, Oh, please. you're probably sneaking in an almond butter-smeared rice cake (or croissant) come 10AM. Those who know me well know that I'm always hungry, so if a shake can keep me sane until noon you know it's the business.
Enter the peanut butter banana smoothie. Rich in protein, potassium and calcium, this thick shake is satisfying and delicious. There are days when I'm still astonished over the fact that I don't need a mid-morning meal, and I've noticed a marked improvement in my endurance during spin + weight training.
Plus, I feel like I'm drinking dessert for breakfast, which isn't a far cry from my beloved almond croissant.
1 banana (medium or large)
1 heaping tbsp of creamy peanut butter
2 heaping tbsp of protein powder (I bought an organic hemp variety, flavored with vanilla spice, which adds a nice kick to the smoothie)
1/2 cup almond milk
4-6 ice cubes
Add to the blender + blitz until completely combined. Drink immediately.
I saw this while I was on vacation and knew I wanted to try it when I got home. I had to substitute French Vanilla coconut milk when I made it this morning & it is amazing!!!! Definitely filling and scrumptious!! :D
Instead of peanut butter, I used almond, I didn't have hemp but I had some chocolate protein powder!! So so good

Juodvalkis takes Picardie opener
Young Lithuanian Egidijus Juodvalkis (Agricole) has won the opening stage of the Tour de Picardie in Northern France.

The previous biggest win of the 22-year-old's career was the Lithuanian national championship, but this victory is likely to surpass that.
A group of 39 contested the final sprint with Juodvalkis finishing ahead of Kenny de Haes (Omega Pharma - Lotto) and Martin Elmiger (AG2R La Mondiale).
The second group were led in by Edvald Boasson Hagen (Team Sky) - 12 seconds behind the leading group.
The Tour de Picardie was won last year by Britain's Ben Swift and has had some high profile winners in the past such as Tom Boonen, Alexandre Vinokourov, Miguel Indurain and Bernard Hinault.

He presented it to a local prostitute, the story goes. In a majestic amphitheater the Romans built, Les Arenes Romaines, gladiators whacked each other to eternity and Christians were fed to lions and other beasts.

As for the order of the pages being included with title and description, there seems to be no rhyme (sp) or reason. Some of my pages that date back over a year still have no title or description, some new pages get picked up in a matter of days. I have pounded my head against the wall trying to figure this one out.
Go Figure...
I have pages that took months to show the title and description ... pages seem to get their title and description at a rate of one to three pages per week ... I have pounded my head against the wall trying to figure this one out.
The tentative upshot is that a specific URL needs to be crawled 3 times before it will change from URL-only + no cache to Title + Description. The waters of this are muddied, however, by the existence of a sleuth-bot (identified in the referer string by
"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)") which operates under HTTP/1.1 and does not seem to count towards the total of hits, whereas the common police-bots (IDed by
"Googlebot/2.1; (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)and HTTP/1.0) *do* count towards the 3-hits-and-you-are-in.
If accurate, this explanation would account for the apparent G bias towards long-established sites, the so-called "Sandbox", and the URL-only issue.
I have piqued mine own interest. The original research was possible because my former hosts had, by their behaviour, driven my site into the hands of a former colleague. I had the time whilst my server was uprooted to gather the info. That server + site transfer has literally just been completed, but I shall take a couple of hours to update the previous info from the logs, and report back.
But as mentioned above, the more likely story is that these are new pages that have been added that in time will appear with descriptions et al....
I shall take a couple of hours to update the previous info from the logs
The PRE code does not work properly on this forum, so the following is not so easy to read, but here is a synopsis of the results:
Site-Hits by the GBot, 17/Jun/2005:07:00 - 30/Jan/2005:04:02:26.
(for 1st 20 results on site:my-site.com SERPs, May 17)
[no available logs between 03/Mar/2005:09:25:10 and 17/Apr/2005:04:03:48]
**** = Title + desc May 17, now URL only
*** = Title + desc May 17 + Jun 17
** = Title + desc Jun 17, prev url-only
x = not in first 100 results
all others are still url-onl
G = 1 x visit from standard GBot: HTTP/1.0 Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)
M = 1 x visit from Mozilla GBot: HTTP/1.1 "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1
URLs lost on hits #4, 10 + 18.
Currently, 16 of 1st 20 and 83% of 1st 100 SERPs are url-only.
On 17 May, 17 of 1st 20 and 87% of 1st 100 SERPs were url-only.
It only takes one hit from a standard GBot for the title + snippet to appear. However, that ignores the effects of the Mozilla GBot, the snippet-eater, the 3-times-a-second-roast-my-site GBot.
I now need to get back to my normal work.
As for the order of the pages being included with title and description, there seems to be no rhyme (sp) or reason. Some of my pages that date back over a year still have no title or description, some new pages get picked up in a matter of days. I have pounded my head against the wall trying to figure this one out.
I'm right there with you webdude. I think I dented the wall the other day.
The Google SiteMap so far has not shown much improvement for my site in our test. I put up a SiteMap with 1500 URLS, 500 each of: unindexed, partial indexed (URL only), and fully indexed pages. So far the main bot activity (98%) is on pages already fully indexed.
Regarless of this test, we will be rolling out a full SiteMap for our full site. Hopefully it will help since our main problem seems to be Google not crawling deep enough to find all of our forum style content.
The url appeared in the SERPS, but that was all, as Google had no other information than just the url.
Once the bot(s) were allowed back in, the placement appeared, along with the coresponding decription and title.
I can't say that this would be your case, but, it was ours.
Hope this helped.
I find that very interesting. I am going to give it a wack. While I have lost nothing in Bourbon, I have many pages that are URL only, about 50%. I would really like to get them listed with title and description. The bot is taking forever to include these pages in the index. It seems that Google SiteMap is taking the load off of the first googlebot that lists URLS. Could be that Google SiteMap is telling the second bot to crawl the links provided (the bot that usually adds title and desc.).
from where is this report (u post on previous page).
It is (1) grepping the apache access-logs and (2) manual hard work.
Have a look at msg #:59+60 [webmasterworld.com] - I give actual examples of the commands used.
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
A semi colon character was expected. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/sitemap.xml'. Line 142, Position 99
There seems to be a problem at the = sign in "_uid1=454"
I have looked at this entry and I don't get it.
Needless to say, this is bobmging the G sitemaps. I would really like to figure it out. Any clues?
That was supposed to be bombing.
Any way, a word of caution on some of the on-line, auto generating programs for use in the G SiteMaps. It appears that XML cannot use the & in the <loc>. After much digging, I found that all & characters must be changed to &, otherwise it will error out the xml file. In other words, the URL must conform to RFC 2396 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt).
It seems some of the on-line programs are not replacing these characters.
More Info....
Note: All data values, including URLs, in your Sitemap files must be XML-encoded. The chart below provides a list of characters with their corresponding encoded values. You can use either the entity or the character code to XML encode a character. Please see the FAQ for more information about XML encoding.
Entity Character Code
Ampersand & & &
Single Quote ' ' '
Double Quote " " "
Greater Than > > >
Less Than < < <
Anyway, I learned the hard way. We'll see if the new xml file works.
Sorry to disagree just a a tad with you here. I have pages that are generated from a forum. There are hundreds of these pages, some listed with full title and description, some as just URL. In both cases, at least in my case, age of the page seems to have nothing to do with whether or not the title/description gets displayed. I have pages that have been URL only for the past 6 months. Every once in a while, one of those will go to title/description in the SERPs. Some pages get picked up right away and display title/description. Some go URL only for a couple of days then go to title/description. Some it takes weeks -- some it takes months.
What I am seeing on this particular site is that there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the way/how/why some pages get picked up with title/description while some don't. Nor does it make sense to me the time frame it takes to get these listed correctly.
Now I know some of you are going to say that this is the dupe content filter/penalty/yada yada that is causing this, and that may be true, but I am still confused as to the way/how/why. These pages all have different titles, descriptions, text and links on them. Of course they are templated, but why some and not others? There is a lot of valuable info there for the bot to see.
Anyway... I have successfully had the XML file downloaded and acknowledged by G yesterday and will see what happens. There seems to be more bot activity on the site right now. I'll wait a few days and see how it goes.
I have had many pages re-indexed since submitting a sitemap, however their position in the SERPs is way down. Several remain URL only.
All pages dropped a point in Page Rank over the period as well, the site now has no "similar pages" shown in the SERP listings, backlinks are way down. Hurt, hurt! But not a simple diagnosis.

I tends to believe that this symptom is due to "inadequate PR or inbound links". Googlebot may appear to crawl every URL, but it indexes some portions with title/description. In my case of URL only, this happens when pages are too many level deep from Googlebot's entry points OR there are too many links on the hub page.
That's an interesting thought and correct too. The pages I am referring to do get updated a lot. Some are old pages that haven't seen updates in months though. That is the "no rhyme or reason" of my previous post. Others are very recent that show the title and description and are still being updated -- go figure.
As for SiteMaps, I did get a complete crawl and now this is very interesting. It picked up almost all of the pages with the title and description -- Yippie Skippie! -- but now, the other url-only pages are still there too. So now I have 2 links to every page for about half of my forum.
mmmmm, I wonder if this is going to trip a duplicate content penalty?
..SiteMaps, I did get a complete crawl ... picked up almost all of the pages with the title and description
This is an edited sample from a recent access log of the 2 different beasts:
# fgrep 'GET /robots.txt' /var/log/httpd/access_log* � less(the first is the 'good' bot, whilst the second is the HTTP/1.1 snippet-eater.)
184.108.40.206 "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)"
184.108.40.206 "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"
A very quick sampling shows accesses from this latter on:

Jane McManus Storms: Letters from
the Mexican War, 1846-1848
under way, Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft received a long,
outspoken letter, pointedly telling him how to reform the U.S. navy
and fight the war. The signature at the end of the letter read, simply,
"Storms." "Who is Storms?" the perplexed secretary of the navy asked
in a note to Secretary of War William L. Marcy. In reply Marcy ex-
plained, "She is an outrageously smooth and keen writer for the news-
papers in [New York]."'
George Bancroft was not the first political figure to feel the sting of
Storms's writing. Jane McManus Storms was a well known, if some-
what politically controversial, Washington letter-writer during the
1840s and 1850s.2 The Baltimore Sun's Washington correspondent
described her as "a very able writer."3 But Missouri's powerful sena-
tor, Thomas Hart Benton, complained of her "masculine stomach for
war and politics."4 The influential Louisville Courier-Journal editor,
*Tom Reilly is professor of journalism at California State University, Northridge, and
editor of Journalism History. Research for this study was supported in part by an insti-
tutional grant from his university.

that Benton replace Scott as head of the army in Mexico and that he seek a peace settle-
ment there, Storms wrote, "If I can rely on the full and well supported opinions of my
friends at [Mexico City], the appointment of Mr. Benton to a special money-distributing
mission to this distracted country will not prove a judicious one .... The announcement
