PARIS (AP) - Sex symbol-turned-animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot is threatening to join actor Gerard Depardieu in Russian exile unless France halts the scheduled euthanasia of two sick circus elephants.
The 1960s screen diva says authorities have ignored her "numerous proposals" to save Baby and Nepal, a pair of 42-year-old elephants dying of tuberculosis at a Lyon zoo.
In a statement on her foundation's website Bardot says that if the elephants are killed she will request Russian citizenship "to flee this country that is now just a graveyard for animals."
This week France was shocked to learn Depardieu, an Academy Award-winner and pillar of French cinema, had received Russian citizenship after he was called "pathetic" by France's prime minister in a bust-up over the country's proposed 75 percent income tax for the superrich.

Course Schedules & Registration
Course Schedules & Registration
The classes you take at Candler will prepare you to make a real difference in the real world. Our faculty and staff have developed a curriculum that combines theological exploration, practical skill building and opportunities for spiritual growth.
The course schedule is updated prior to the start of each semester. You can find course descriptions in the Catalog and Handbook.
Course syllabi from previous semesters are available on Blackboard, using your OPUS username and password to log in. Once you've logged in, select "Candler Registrar" under "Organizations," then click on "Course Syllabi" from the menu on the left. Fall syllabi will be posted as they become available, or at the start of the semester.
Textbook lists are available through the Emory University Bookstore (Barnes and Noble @ Emory).
Prior to the start of the semester, the Candler Registrar will update the registration schedule, indicating enrollment appointments, during which time you can use self-service registration in OPUS. Review the instructions for registering in OPUS.
First-year students will receive registration instructions via your Emory email address, listing your enrollment appointment. Please check the Admitted Students Resources page for more information.
Registration is available to students with no outstanding financial or other obligations to the university. Current MDiv, MRL, and MTS students must consult with their faculty advisers before attempting to register. Failure to do so will result in a hold on your OPUS account that will prevent you from registering until you have met with your adviser. First-year students register in consultation with the registrar's office.
A late registration penalty of $50 will be charged to a student's record if not enrolled by the end of the registration period.
Continuous registration is required for all degree programs, either for academic credit or through payment of the non-credit administrative fee. Doctoral students that fail to maintain continuous registration will be terminated from the doctoral program. A student who is not enrolled in consecutive fall/spring or spring/fall semesters must request readmission before registering for a subsequent term.
Students wishing to withdraw their registration will receive a full refund through the end of the add/drop/swap period. After that time, students who withdraw voluntarily receive a pro-rated refund according to the schedule published in the University's Schedule of Classes each semester. Regardless of whether a student voluntarily withdraws or is dismissed, they are responsible for all financial obligations incurred through previous enrollment in the school.
Students can confirm their class schedules in OPUS once the scheduling period for the school has closed.
Be Added to a Waiting List
When a class reaches maximum enrollment it will appear as closed in OPUS. Email firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, 7-digit student i.d. and the course you're interested in and you will be added to the waiting list for the course. If an opening in the course becomes available during the drop/add/swap period, we will let you know via your Emory email account.
Click here to close
Add, Drop and Swap Classes
If you need to make changes to your schedule after you've registered you have until the last day for add/drop/swap posted on the academic calendar. Any course that you drop after the deadline is considered a withdrawal and will appear as such on your transcript.
Click here to close
Withdraw from Classes
To withdraw from a course, contact the Candler Registrar via email. In such cases, a grade of W (withdrawn) will be assigned and appear on the student's transcript as the course grade. Students with VA benefits or who are studying on a student exchange (F-1 or J-1) visa may need additional permission before requesting a withdrawal. Students may not withdraw from a course after the last day of classes for the semester in which the course is offered. To withdraw from all courses for the semester, contact the Candler Registrar to schedule an exit interview.
Click here to close
Degree-seeking students at Candler may register for courses, usually at no additional cost, at schools of the Atlanta Theological Association (ATA) or at nearby colleges and universities through the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education (ARCHE) program. Conversely, students from ATA schools may take courses at Candler, pending availability, at no additional cost.
Candler students cross registering at an ATA school
With the exception of classes taken toward the completion of a ThD degree, courses completed at non-Emory institutions, including ATA schools, are counted as transfer credit. Students cannot take courses outside Candler during their graduating semester unless the host school guarantees grade submission by Candler's due date prior to the start of the graduating term.
- An MDiv candidate may cross register for a maximum of 18 semester hours at non-Emory institutions, with no more than 12 hours taken at any one ATA institution and no more than six hours taken in any single semester. Specifically required courses, such as OT501, OT502, NT501, NT502, HC501, ST501, ES501 and P501 may not be completed at other ATA institutions.
- An MTS candidate may cross register for a maximum of nine semester hours at non-Emory institutions, with no more than six taken in any single semester, when justified by the student's area of interest and in consultation with the director of the program.
- A ThM candidate may cross register for no more than three credit hours in non-Emory institutions.
To register for a course at an ATA school, view the course schedules listed below and submit the cross registration form to the Candler Registrar. You will be notified when the Candler Registrar's office receives approval from the host institution.
- Columbia Theological Seminary (Decatur, Ga.)
- Erskine Theological Seminary (Due West, S.C.)
- Interdenominational Center (Atlanta)
- Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary (Columbia, S.C.)
- McAfee School of Theology, Mercer University (Atlanta)

The pre-filter has a little velcro attachment on it that I always use to attach a small rock and submerge the pre-filter.
As far as freezing I have read that as well but once again I haven't had a problem. I backpack starting next weekend for Bear all the way through the end of November so I've hit some pretty cold temps.
im not even going to lie to anyone. the Katadyn Base Camp Micro Filter is by far the best filter system i have used......it is a little bigger but the amount of water and how fast you get water is unbelievable. it is more of a base camp filter, but it holds a lot of water and can just be opened up to fill bottles or fill up other "holding tanks".
the way four of us used it was to pack in a "holding tank", a collapsible plastic 5 gallon h2o container, and we just kept that full of clean water. we usually filled it once a day. plenty of water for 4 of us everyday. it was quick and the filter never clogged, but we did keep it out of the moss and vegetation. i would never go into the backcountry without it.....just saves a lot of time and energy. one or two times a day filling up the bag, and you have water for days. takes a couple of minutes to filter the bag full of water (about 2.5 gallons of water), is all.
its not as small and handy on the trail, but for over a week use.....you cant beat it. it will save you time and energy and you will always have more than one bottle of h2o on hand at all times.
Has anyone ever used the MSR MIOX system? Just curious what the thoughts are.
I use the Sawyer squeeze water filter. Light weight and works great. I also carry 2 of the bags for it empty just in case one leaks or I need to pack more water for some reason.
I'd recommend using the Katadyn Micropure water tablets, they are fast, effective, and pretty affordable. Also if you want to be extremely lightweight use a "steripen". The steripen is a water purifier that uses an advanced shade of light to take out the harmful contents in water. Just be sure to bring a few extra batteries in case they run out but the steripen has great battery life and can purify liters and liters of water.
I use iodine tablets, but am seriously considering getting a steripen.

It look good and the mountains look pretty realistic. You said you painted the climate or that it's just made with FT? I'm asking because I know it's possible to achieve something similar using different climate image. But I have not really tried that style yet.
I suppose than most of the arctic zone are temporary because it's unrealistic to have snow at the equator. Anyway if you want information about climates: The Climate Cookbook

Daniel was sitting in Temple Bar yesterday when he witnessed a mugging. He saw an elderly woman being approached by a couple who rifled through her pockets. He subsequently heard that this couple have been dubbed the "Bonnie & Clyde of Temple Bar". Tom's home was broken into recently when he was away. It was very upsetting. He says his PVC locks were useless. Both men tell Damien their stories.
Fred feels like he is beating his head off a brick wall. He has a buy to let property which he is trying to sell. He has a cash offer. He cannot get approval from his bank either way to proceed with the sale or not. He tells Damien how he fears that he will lose the buyer.
Bishop Kevin Farrell is giving the invocation at the 50th Anniversary of the assassination of John F Kennedy in Dealy Plaza in Dallas tomorrow. He tells Damien how a man from Drimnagh came to be in this position, and of his memories of the day.
The Local Property Tax continues to have an impact. Seans father-in-law died a year ago. He was living in a nursing home when he died. They sold his house to settle the debt to the HSE following the fair deal scheme. He was shocked to have to pay the property tax for 2013 and 2014 even though he doesn't own the house anymore.
Carmel was in Dublin city yesterday and needed to use the toilet. She went into a department store and met a very nice woman outside the toilets who told her that she would need a receipt from a purchase or the exact change for the coin machine. Carmel had neither and left very frustrated and annoyed.

Good afternoon. I want to welcome you all to this hearing of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Today's hearing is the second of three hearings the Commission is holding on the topic of energy security, an issue that spans the security, economic and environmental, and human dimensions of the Helsinki process. This hearing series is designed to give the Commission a comprehensive picture of this complex issue and highlight areas where the Commission, the U.S. Government and the OSCE can take effective action.
The first hearing took place on June 25 and focused on conflict prevention and the security of supply and transit of oil and gas. The third hearing will address the nexus of energy security and environmental security, focusing on the diversification of energy supply and sustainable technologies—namely how we can decrease dependence on foreign sources and address environmental concerns at the same time.
At today's hearing we are going to hear from our distinguished panelists about the development of democracy and civil society in countries with abundant energy resources—and why that matters to U.S. energy security. I mentioned at the last hearing the remarkable fact that only two of the world's top 10 oil exporters are established democracies—Norway and Mexico. What is wrong with this picture?
Top World Oil Net Exporters 2006
1 Saudi Arabia
2 Russia
3 Norway
4 Iran
5 United Arab Emirates
6 Venezuela
7 Kuwait
8 Nigeria
9 Algeria
10 Mexico

When we look at countries that are situated on oil and natural gas reserves, we think these countries have won the global version of the economic lottery. They have a built-in revenue stream that can fuel not only their own economy but also be an export commodity. But what economists have found by studying these resource-rich countries is that they often do worse than their resource-poor neighbors, both economically and politically. This problem is often referred to as the "resource curse."
Each of the countries we are focusing on today—Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan—face some aspect of this resource curse. And while the situation in each country is unique, we can generalize and say that the lack of transparency in politics, and in oil and gas deals, is at the root of the problem.
It's a well-known, and well-bemoaned, fact that the United States is becoming more and more reliant on imported energy to fuel our economy. We are the world's largest consumer of oil—we account for an astounding 25 percent of global daily oil demand—despite having less than 3 percent of the world's proven reserves. And we source that oil from some unstable and unfriendly places in the world such as Nigeria and Venezuela.
In the context of today's hearing some of you may wonder why the United States should care what is happening in Turkmenistan or Kazakhstan, when we actually don't rely on these countries for a significant portion of our energy supplies. Russia is only number nine on our list of oil suppliers and Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan don't event make it into the top twenty.
The answer is that unlike natural gas, oil is a commodity, so regardless of where we source our oil, what happens in other oil-rich countries impacts the stability of our price and our supply as well. As the National Petroleum Council reported last week, "There can be no U.S. energy security without global energy security."
Oil is the tie that binds us all and threatens to choke us at the same time.
So take a minute to think about how drastically different our interactions with these countries would be if we did not rely so heavily on these countries' resources. I think it goes without saying that we would have more leverage to promote democracy and civil society. Clearly oil constrains, if not drives, our foreign policy.
So while it is imperative that we work to limit our dependence on foreign oil and change the dynamic of supply and demand, it is just as important to create more stable and reliable sources of energy. One of the key ways the international community has sought to counteract the political and economic instability inherent in the resource curse is through programs that seek to instill transparency and accountability into the resource payment system.
I am pleased that we have with us today Mr. Simon Taylor, one of the founders of—and now the director of—Global Witness, an organization that has led the charge in not only exposing corruption and kleptocracy, but also finding workable solutions to these problems. Also joining us today is Mr. Roman Kupchinsky, regional analyst for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
I mentioned in the last hearing that I would like to incorporate some of the expertise and knowledge that is represented in our audience. So today we are offering you the opportunity to ask questions of today's panel. We have forms available for you to write your brief question, which you can then hand to one of our staff. Then as time permits, we will ask our panelists to answer some of those questions. I look forward to your participation.
You should all have copies of the full bios of the witnesses, so before I turn to Mr. Taylor for his testimony, I would like to recognize my Co-Chairman, the distinguished Senator from Maryland, to see if he has any opening remarks. Senator Cardin?

BARNESVILLE - The Doan Ford-Barnesville Invitational wrestling tournament could be called the Claymont Invite.
The Mustangs rang up 307.5 points to easily outdistance the 18-team field in the 43rd annual event.
Locally, a pair of grapplers stood atop the podium after securing victories in their weight divisions. They were Beallsville's Bruce Sefert (152) and St. Clairsville's Dalton Nolte (160).
Nolte, who was on St. Clairsville's state runnerup football team, didn't have nearly as much trouble as he pinned his way to the title.
The top-seed put Caldwell's Caleb VanMeter to his back in 4:59.
Four other local wrestlers finished runnerup, those being Martins Ferry's duo of Theo Zoumpoulidis (106) and Jonathan Bodkin (285); Monroe Central's Rodney Richter (113); and River's J.D. Dotson (220). Zoumpoulidis was pinned in a mere 33 seconds by Claymont freshman Tyler Warner.
Warner's younger brother D.J. made quick work of Richter in 1:56. Bodkin suffered a 3-1 setback to Tuscarawas Valley's Joe Newsome, while Dotson was a 4-2 loser to Claymont's Garrett Harding.
A total of 14 other local individuals placed either third or fourth in their weight classifications.
St. Clairsville, which placed fourth overall with 94 points, had four other placewinners in addition to Nolte. Justin Callarik (138) and Corey Ernest (285) were both third, while Seth Benge (182) and Michael Furbee (220) finished fourth.
Martins Ferry, which was right behind the Red Devils with 90 points for fifth place, also had a handful of placewinners. Damon Outward (132) and Zac Coole (220) were third, and Bryce Coleman (145) was fourth.
Bridgeport's Brad Tomolonis (171) placed third. Taking fourth-place finishes were Barnesville's Hobie Howiler (126) and Taylor Griffen (138); Beallsville's Preston Biers (195); Union Local's Tanner Strain (103) and Zac Sowers (132); and Monroe Central's Zac Potts (152).
Cody Burcher, a two-time state runnerup for the Mustangs, was voted the event's Most Outstanding Wrestler.
Also winning individual crowns were Meadowbrook's Jerad Patterson (120) and Sandy Valley's Sam Groff (195).

The town takes its name from Nuestra Señora del Refugio, the last Catholic mission established by Spanish Franciscan missionaries in 1793 to take Christ to the Karankawa Indians and bring the Karankawa to Christ.
During its first half-century of existence the mission and the town underwent constant upheaval. During this time, it went from being Spanish to Mexican to Texan and finally to American.
Through it all it remained Catholic.
After the original mission fell into disrepair and was abandoned, Irish Catholic settlers came into the area and, together with remaining Mexican Catholic families, revived the church as Our Lady of Refuge.
Later, in 1886, a second Catholic church was established in the small community and named St. James the Apostle. Today, although other Christian denominations have established churches in Refugio and an ecumenical spirit thrives, its Catholic identity remains strong.
But, Refugio's modern identity is equally tied to its school's exploits on the football field. Mention Refugio to any sports fan in Texas and immediately the comeback is "great football teams." Indeed, the Refugio Bobcats have earned accolades far and wide for their success through the years, climaxing with their second state championship last year.
Bridging the town's native and modern histories are five altar servers at Our Lady of Refuge, who also are members of the 2011 Bobcat state championship team. They are equally proud of their Catholic Christian faith and the faith they place on their fellow Bobcat team members.
"Almost all my teammates are Christians. We may not be of the same religion, but God plays a positive part in our lives and in the game," 17-year-old senior defensive back Cameron Sternadel said. "I think without our faith in God we would not be the individuals and team we are today. We try to give our best in practice, in our games and in our everyday life."
Sternadel, along with seniors John Wesley Shipp, Jack Gumm, Brett Davis and Colton Carroll, all proudly wear their state championship rings while they serve on the altar at Our Lady of Refuge on Sunday. Their pastor, Father Philip Panackal, is equally proud of them.
"These boys are loved by all and their presence at the altar makes a difference," Father Panackal said. "They help the parish in all its activities and their leadership qualities are a great reward for our parish and the community. They are role models."
Shipp, an all-state defensive lineman and altar server since the sixth grade, said he's got "Father Phillip's back no matter what." He goes to Father Panackal for advise on Sunday, just as he does to his football coach during practice. When all is said and done, however, Shipp points to God for his and his team's success.
"I wake up in the morning and I pray for giving me another day; I go to bed and I pray for giving me another safe day," Shipp said. "He is really the main coach. Thanking Him and praying for Him for allowing you to do to the best of your ability. He is the main one in all of this."
Gumm, who has been an altar server since he was six-years-old, credits his Catholic faith with helping him and his team's success.
"As Catholics we learn not to judge, to see stuff from other people's perspective. It keeps teammates together, dedicated to the team," the strong outside linebacker said.
"We put a lot of time into altar serving," said senior receiver Brett Davis who has been an altar server since he was in the fifth grade. "It is really important in our lives. It really has shaped us in a good, positive way. It has brought us closer in relationship to God as a team and as family."

The Scheitler Home: West on Highway 3
(Le Mars) -- What does 15 years of experience, hours and hours of work, 37 years of display collecting, 25 outlets, 25 timers. 55 trees and 50-60 THOUSAND lights equal? An amazing display on Highway 3. The Rob Scheitler home, located 7 miles west of Le Mars on Hwy 3, is full of all the wonder and awe that only the holidays can bring.
Rob starts working in August on getting the lights ready to go and the takes a week off of work in October to make sure he'll get the wonderland ready. He has been doing this for 15 years, but got a big boost this year to the number of lights, and I'm sure the electric bill. Scheitler said that he got a light display collection from a man in Correctionville who decided to retire from holiday yard decorating at 85 years old. He had been collecting for 37 years, and his display now doubled the light at the Scheitler's.
While Rob takes care of the outside, he says his wife and daughter completely deck the inside as well, and are more than happy to share their holiday cheer with you inside and out, if you care to stop by.
The lights and music are ready to be seen and heard now through New Years from 5pm to 10pm everynight. Again the Scheitler home is located 7 miles west of Le Mars on Highway 3, left on Imapala. Just keep an eye out for the blazing display on the left hand side of the road.

Mrs. Naomi Virginia Wilson Bonds
Services for Naomi Virginia Wilson Bonds will be held Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at St. James A.M.E. Church, 3706 Davis Street, with Rev. Frederick L. Fields officiating.
Burial will be in Forest Lawn Cemetery with Berry and Gardner Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
Mrs. Bonds was educated in the Meridian Public Schools, graduating from T. J. Harris High School with honors. Her college career began at Tuskegee Institute where she sang in the choir under the direction of the renowned William. L. Dawson. She later transferred to Jackson State University where she received a B. S. degree in Language Arts. She also received her Master of Education degree with Library Science concentration from Mississippi State University.
Her lifelong ambition to become a teacher and work with young people began in 1951 in the Lauderdale County School System where she taught English and Home Economics at Tripplette Junior High School.

Honestly I expected the bottle to be bigger based on cost. Regardless of price you won't find another oil like this. After I ordered the first bottle and tried it, I went back online and ran them out of stock for very good reason - this oil is amazing. I try to use it sparingly but it always calls out "you know I am the best just use me"....when they say EVERYONE should have this in their kitchen that is not a sales pitch! It is the satisfied belly truth.

We had a really cool sounding plan in the works for an amazing opportunity and it seems we're left scrambling and in a lurch. We're back to normal, just winging-it and doing the best we can. What I really need is to get a couple horses rented in the pinedale/big piney area that won't break the bank? Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated. No matter what I'm getting a stinking elk this year! thanks all!

NAVARRE, Ohio - It certainly didn't take long to pare down the locals in the Division III field just a week after the excitement of earning a trip to the coveted regional.
Competing during the course of two days at arguably the state's toughest small-school regional at Fairless High School, only nine area thinclads are left standing with the dream of capturing the Division III state title and earning All-Ohio accolades at the State Track and Field Championship, which gets under way next Friday morning at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of The Ohio State University.
The final Division III field was set Friday under muggy conditions and three OVAC competitors became regional champions. The only area female to claim the top prize in the regional was talented St. John Central freshman Fallon Doyle.
Doyle ran the 1,600 meters exactly the way she had planned and used what's becoming her staple, a furious kick in the final 200 meters, to move from third place to the top spot with a time of 5:14.29.
''I am really excited and happy that I made it,'' Doyle said. ''I just wanted to lay back, chill out, let the race play out and then go at the end. I get to the 200-meter mark and I figure I'll just give it my all the rest of the way and see how it plays out.''
Doyle, who finished third in the state cross country meet last fall, was one of the few distance runners on the day who doubled. However, the heat and exertion of the 1,600 took its toll as she settled for seventh in the 3,200.
Martins Ferry, which has had a girls' season to remember, advanced just one competitor to the state meet. Junior middle distance Sunshine Wrenn used a strong kick in the final 200 meters to earn the fourth and final spot in the 800 with a time of 2:21.88
''I was really nervous before the race,'' Wrenn said. ''I thought I had a good chance to get fourth and I am so glad I got it. I actually expected the race to be even faster. I don't know if I'll place, but I am just glad to be going.''
Steubenville Catholic will send a pair of individuals to the state meet. Sophomore Monica Rigaud is heading to her first state meet as an individual as she finished second in the high hurdles in a time of 15.57.
On Wednesday, sophomore Moriah Vosteen advanced by virtue of a third-place finish in the high jump with a 5-foot, 4-inch leap.
Bridgeport's Cody Frey is making the trip to his first state meet and he'll do as a regional champion in the 300 intermediate hurdles. After battling several bumps and bruises during the years and coming up short each of his previous appearances in the regional, Frey used a strong race down the homestretch to not only qualify for state, but assure himself a solid lane for Friday's semifinal.
''I've been trying to get (to the state) for four years and to have done it feels great,'' Frey said. ''I know I usually have a good kick in the last 150 (meters) and the kid got out quick, so I just tried to stay close early and then turn it on.''
Frey skimmed all eight timbers in 39.23, which is a season-best time.
Shadyside's Jake Dull also qualified for his first state meet after coming up short several timesin past regionals. Dull will join Frey in the intermediate hurdle field after finishing third and posting a solid 40.22.
Bellaire's boys' program will be represented for the first time since 2006 thanks to the sprinting of senior speedster Juwaun Whetstone. Whetstone, who was seeded eighth after the semifinals Wednesday, turned it up a notch and earned the fourth and final spot in the 100 with a solid 11.14, which was two hundredths of a tick ahead of the fifth finisher.
Steubenville Catholic's Doug Maslowski continued his month-long eruption. He's a regional champion in the high hurdles after blazing through the finals with a time of 14.82.
Buckeye Trail sophomore Austin Carleton added to the regional title he won on Wednesday in the long jump with a height of 6-4 in the high jump.

Ejim to Open 2013 Iowa Special Olympics
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State hoops star Melvin Ejim will be the Honorary Games Chair at the 2013 Iowa Special Olympics, May 23-25 in Ames, Iowa.
Ejim joins a long list of Iowa State student-athletes who give back to the community and volunteer their time for public service events. It's a special honor for the All-Big 12 performer.
"I think it's a great opportunity for me to show how much respect I have for the Special Olympics," Ejim said. "The athletes work extremely hard and all of the volunteers put in so much time and effort to make this event a huge success. This is an incredible honor for me."
As the Honorary Games Chair, Ejim will officially declare the games open for competition at the conclusion of The Parade of Athletes on May 23 in Hilton Coliseum.
Ejim is the second Cyclone men's basketball player to serve as Honorary Games Chair in recent years. Former NBA player Craig Brackins was the chair in 2009.
Ejim, a senior to be for the Cyclones, was an All-Big 12 Third-Team pick in 2013 after leading the league in both rebounding (9.3) and double-doubles (15). A Capital One Academic All-District 6 selection, Ejim grabbed 326 rebounds last year, tying for the sixth-best single-season total in school history.

Should we go to jail for our evil thoughts?
(Page 3 of 3)
The jury decided that a real conspiracy existed among the emailers, and that Valle was part of it. I don't see it that way. Who knows if he is or could become a danger to society? Right now he is guilty of evil thoughts and profound stupidity. He seems flawed in a particularly disturbing, antisocial way, but he was never accused of inappropriate behavior on the job or in his community.
He is kind of a unique case. I feel as if he isn't guilty as charged, but I am not unhappy that he might be locked away forever.

Bridgeport Fire Claims Three Lives
State Fire Marshal Expected to Investigate Scene Today
March 18, 2013
BRIDGEPORT — Investigators with the state Fire Marshal's Office are expected to be on the scene today of a blaze that killed three children in a village apartment building....

"Without the ladder truck the whole block could have been gone." "...so many walls and tight corners..." blah blah blah...Seriously? Three children died...Id much rather hear that the whole of Bridgeport burned to the ground. But no, lets be glad they saved the block. Good job. Smh...
1 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
this is very sad and i think if it was caused by bad electrical wiring that casey coyne should be held responsible,I was in them apartments last summer and the wiring was a nightmare,he was asked by all the tennants to have it looked at and fixed and he said all he was worried about was getting his rent,this was a tradgey waiting to happen and could have been prevented.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Tornado, I'd rather them save the whole*****block than have the gas stations nearby set ablaze and the perhaps have MANY more deaths.
What did you want from this article? Graphic information on the children that died in the fire?
6 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Sad; older building, difficult to know whether the units had smoke detectors installed in those apartments or whether they were working. Old buildings, repurposed for apartments or poorly maintained and probably not up to whatever code exists in a small community like Bridgeport, the loss of three very young children who probably had no hope of an escape.
6 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
According to the Times Leader, a local business owner said he heard from a friend of a friend that there was a meth lab in one of the apartments that blew up and started it. If the Times Leader is printing rumors and they turn out not to be true, then shame on them. However, if that's true, it's sad that these children suffered and perished because some adults living in that building were dirtbags.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Nice to know you would rather hear about them saving buildings than children. And no, I dont want to hear gory details about their deaths, but its sad that they are only mentioned in two sentences before the rest of the story goes on about too many corners and ladder trucks. I find that to be rather callous. No mention of how to help the family...or sympathy shown for the parents. I feel as though they made the story more about the fire than the lives it claimed.
0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Three children died, ladder and corners, water break, had to let water just run, lost a lot of water it sounds. This is going to hurt the this little city. Was it a meth lab? Was it electrical? Do they have any idea-because without, how will this be prevented. How many were rescued, did other children get out, what do the parents need right now? Too many questions-no answers. I know there are plenty of slumlords in this area. Is there a place for tennants to report potential hazards when landlords do not respond. As a homeowner, I know that I dont always like spending the buck on necessary repairs but its life. If you want to rent property-you are responsible for safety of those renting. This is tragic that these children suffered and died.

Rack And Pinion Steering ConversionsWritten by on October 24, 2007 Contributors: Rob Kinnan Want Tighter, More Responsive Steering On Your Old Musclecar? There Are A Ton Of Bolt-On Rack-And-Pinion Kits On The Market That Promise To Do Just That.
Nothing makes a classic car feel like an old tank more than ancient suspension and handling characteristics. Jump out of a stock '60s musclecar and into a late-model performance car, and one of the first things you notice is the steering. New cars have nice, tight, responsive steering, whereas most early cars had slow steering boxes that were anything but responsive, and the power-assisted setups were often over-boosted to the point of killing any semblance of road feel. Those docile setups just don't play well when combined with today's assortment of bolt-on handling hardware. But once again, the aftermarket has a fix.
With the rise in interest of Pro Touring-type cars, it's no surprise that several companies have developed plug-and-play rack-and-pinion conversion kits for early musclecars. Many are claimed to be direct bolt-on installations requiring no welding or excessive butchery, which is great, should you decide to change systems later, and there are kits for nearly all popular makes and models. Few people want to re-invent their front suspensions just to update the steering, so we only looked at rack-and-pinion kits that can be bolted in to otherwise stock musclecars and only mentioned companies that build their own kits.
But rather than just listen to the manufacturers tell us how easy their conversions are, we decided to see for ourselves and installed one in a mildly modified '65 Mustang. What we found out about the installation intricacies and how it actually works follows, as does a guide to the rack-and-pinion kits on the market.
Applications for multiple makes
We chose a Steeroids kit to test on our Mustang. It offers a quick 2.5 turns lock-to-lock and is claimed to have better bumpsteer adjustment capability than the other guys and to work well with the stock power-steering pump. If the full kit with the replacement column is purchased, Steeroids estimates about three to four hours of installation time with standard handtools. We'll see about that.
Bolt-in applications:
'67-'69 Camaro
'68-'72 Chevelle
'68-'74 Nova
'63-'82 Corvette
'64 1/2-'70 Mustang
Approximate cost (power kit for early Mustang, with
column): $1,500.00
Flaming River
Thanks to its wide array of steering-related parts, including the company's own columns and steering wheels, Flaming River has quickly become the most recognized name for street-rod and musclecar systems. Flaming River's stand-out benefit is that you can buy an entirely new steering system from wheel to tie-rod end built by one manufacturer.
Bolt-in applications:
'67-'69 Camaro
'68-'72 Chevelle
'62-'67 Nova
'63-'82 Corvette
'55-'57 Chevrolet
'64 1/2-'70 Mustang
'55-'57 Thunderbird
Approximate cost (power kit for early Mustang, with column): $1,890.00
Unisteer is the 800-pound gorilla you probably didn't know about. Huge in the street-rod market, Unisteer has bolt-in kits for musclecars as well, but the real benefit for those with wild plans in the future is that Unisteer also takes orders for custom rack-and-pinion kits built to your specifications. For Mopar guys, Unisteer offers the only direct bolt-in B/E-Body rack-and-pinion kit we could locate.
Bolt-in applications:
'67-'74 Camaro'62-'67 Nova
'55-'57 Chevrolet
'64 1/2-'70 Mustang
B/E-Body Mopars
'28-'34 Ford (bolt-in if currently using Vega-style box on a straight axle.)
Approximate cost (manual kit for early Mustang, no column): $875.00
Eckler's Classic ChevyParts
Eckler's says its kit was the first on the market for Tri-Five Chevys, and the company has been fine-tuning and upgrading it for the last 10 years. However, there are still a few prerequisites, such as running a short-style water pump and a harmonic balancer that accepts bolt-on pulleys. New exhaust may also be required, unless you're using Chevy manifolds with a 45-degree rear dump or Eckler's own headers.
Bolt-in applications:
'55-'57 Chevrolet
Approximate cost (power kit for '55-'57 Chevrolet, with column): $999.99
Dutchman Motorsports
Though you probably know the company for axles, Dutchman has been slowly but steadily expanding its line to include suspension and steering parts. Currently Dutchman only offers a bolt-in kit for '55-'57 Chevys. No frame or crossmember mods are required for the kits, and they use a very common '82-'92 GM midsize, rear-steer power rack. Dutchman claims its CNC-machined billet steering arms minimize bumpsteer and maintain the stock turning radius better than other Tri-Five kits on the market, and they can be used with stock A-arms, stock or dropped spindles, and shorter coils springs.
Bolt-in applications:
'55-'57 Chevrolet
Approximate cost (power kit for '55-'57 Chevrolet, no column): $925.00
Mustangs and Other Fords
Based in Australia, RRS probably has the most extensive model-specific listing of kits for the Ford family. Rather than using the same kit for similar chassis, RRS prides itself on developing a specific kit for each application on an actual vehicle. For example, the Fairlane chassis line has six different part numbers for the three chassis changes Ford made between 1962 and 1971 (three manual and three power-rack part numbers). Plus, all RRS racks have built-in bumpsteer correction that allows the tie rod to be moved into correct alignment if the ride height has been altered. Despite their exotic look, the racks themselves are not proprietary and should be rebuildable by any good steering shop.
Bolt-in applications:
'64 1/2-'70 Mustang
'62-'69 Fairlane
'60-'70 Falcon
'68-'71 Torino
'60-'71 Ranchero
'69-'77 Maverick
'67-'70 Cougar
'60-'66 Comet
'68-'71 Montego
'62-'65 Meteor
'60-87 Australian Falcon
'62-'87 Australian Fairlane
'71-'77 Comet
Approximate cost (power kit for early Mustang, no column): $2,095.00
Total Control Products
Relying on its connection with Chris Alston's Chassisworks, Total Control Products (TCP) subscribes to the philosophy that off-the-shelf parts just don't cut it and says it's quality of construction that makes its kit different. The Alston steering rack is built with three turns lock-to-lock and exactly duplicates the factory 638-inch travel. The major installation difference between TCP's kit and others is that on an early Mustang, the factory tubular crossmember is removed and the rack itself becomes a load-bearing structure.
Bolt-in applications:
'64 1/2-'70 Mustang
'60-'65 Falcon
'60-'65 Ranchero
'67-'70 Cougar
'60-'65 Comet
Approximate cost (power kit for early Mustang, with column): $2,500.00 and up
Randalls Rack
Randall's Rack kit also requires the removal of the factory tubular crossmember but replaces it with a fabricated crossmember that the rack bolts on to. The new crossmember is designed to strengthen the chassis and also protect the rack. Stock tie-rod ends and the stock steering column are retained.
Bolt-in applications:
'64 1/2-'70 Mustangs
'67-'70 Cougars
Approximate cost (power kit for early Mustang, no column): $1,395.00
Wurth-It Designs
These guys cater to all the Fords usually ignored by the major manufacturers, including '57-'64 Galaxies, Fairlanes, Customs, Rancheros, and Ranch Wagons, as well as '55-'63 T-birds and even a few Mercury applications. It's a small, family-run company that we discovered during an Internet search, but we never could get ahold of anyone. When we wrote this, the Web site said a family emergency had the company temporarily shut down and behind on orders. Since it's the only company we could locate catering to these cars, we left it in here. Maybe it'll be back open by the time this issue gets to you.
Bolt-in applications:
'57-64 fullsize and intermediate
Fords and Mercurys
'55-'63 T-birds
Real-World Install
All the companies listed above claim their kits are easy, bolt-in designs that require no significant modifications or welding and shouldn't take a great deal of time to install. We wanted to find out if that was true, so we picked one, a Steeroids power rack-and-pinion kit, and installed it in a '65 Mustang. The car is mostly stock and has all stock steering but has a Total Control Products coilover front suspension. We're not going to show a bolt-by-bolt installation, but rather highlight what you need to be aware of, at least about the Steeroids kit. One of the knocks we've heard against some of the rack-and-pinion kits is that they negatively alter bumpsteer, especially on lowered cars. So once everything was installed, we measured ours to see what we were in for.
The rack included in this kit has 2.5 turns lock-to-lock, so it should be plenty quick on the street. As advertised, it didn't require any drilling or cutting, with the exception of the steering column if you opt to use the stock one and modify it according to the included instructions. For simplicity's sake and the added benefit of tilt adjustment, we used the optional ididit column. The instructions say the whole kit should take three to four hours to install, but we spent about ten hours on it. Now that we've done it once, we could probably do it again in four hours.
What About BumpSteer?
There is a reported fly in the ointment of rack-and-pinion bliss. In discussing these conversions with a number of suspension experts, we heard a lot of grumblings that some of them alter the car's bumpsteer in a negative manner. But what is bumpsteer?
As the front suspension moves up (compresses) and down (extends), the lower control arm moves in an arc around its pivot point on the chassis. The tie rod, connected to the lower control arm through the steering arms, also moves in an arc. If these two arcs are different, the wheel will turn slightly either in or out as the suspension moves through its travel. The result is a change in toe-in, which makes the car dart one way or another with no driver input. In extreme cases, it can be very dangerous.
The two main things that affect bumpsteer are the angles and the lengths of the tie-rod ends and lower control arms. Ideally, they should be the same length and perfectly parallel to each other, but that's not always practical. Most factory suspensions are pretty good in regard to bumpsteer (since it's a safety and therefore a liability item for the OEs). Because an aftermarket rack-and-pinion swap obviously changes the location and length of the tie rods, there is a good chance that it will adversely affect bumpsteer if not adjusted properly, especially on lowered cars. We've never seen an actual test of bumpsteer on a converted car, so after the install of our Steeroids kit, we checked it.

The Steeroids kit replaces the entire stock steering setup, including the hydraulic ram, valve, hoses, drag link, idler arm, and tie rods. The stock pump remains. We ordered the optional ididit steering column to add a tilt feature, so we had to remove the steering box and column as well. Everything but the steering box will come out as an assembly.The Mustang steering-column shaft is part of the steering box and runs all the way up to the steering wheel. To remove it, first remove the stock column, which is really nothing more than a cover over the shaft, then remove the box and shaft as a unit. The instructions say that if you remove the driver-side motor mountand lift the engine a few inches, you can get the steering box and shaft out. That must be on a car with stock exhaust manifolds because there was no way our box was coming out with the engine in the car. The answer was to cut the steering shaft a few inches outside the box using our favorite tool, the Sawzall.This rack bracket replaces the factory driver-side mounting bracket (arrow) for the factory power-steering ram and uses the original bolt holes. Our bracket was close, but we had to drill the horizontal hole a little oversize to line up with the hole in the frame.To get the toe-in close, measure the overall width of the stock steering parts, measuring from the center line of both outer tie-rod ends. Then duplicate that measurement when you install the tie rods on the rack.The biggest drawback we can see with this kit is that the starter is never going to come out of the car. If it fails, you either have to drop the rack or raise the engine several inches.The rubber bushing on the rack presses over the bracket, and it's an excruciatingly tight fit. You'll need big channel locks and some muscle to get it over the bracket and get the clamp lined up to start both bolts.The kit comes with aluminum tie-rod sleeves and spherical rod ends. Here's how they mate the rack to the spindle.Once installed with the billet levers and flasher button from ididit, the column with a fresh coat of rattle-can, semiflat black looks right at home in the interior. The Grant steering wheel has been on the car for 10 years, but we needed a Grant GM-spline adapter hub to make it fit the new column. It was $20 at the local AutoZone.
The ididit column that came with the kit had a GM wiring harness, requiring some rewiring to work on our Ford. Rather than suffer the redundancy of two connectors in the column harness, we opted to clip the GM harness on the ididit column and wire-in the Ford harness from the original column. The relay is for the horn circuit and is supplied with the ididit kit.This is how the rack is oriented under the car without the tie rods installed. The two frame brackets locate the rack, and the black bracket bolted to the center of the rack locates the inner tie-rod ends. We had to bend the power lines a little so they'd clear the headers on the passenger side. Before bolting the rack in place, turn the input shaft lock-to-lock and count the number of rotations, then turn it halfway back to center it. Once the rack is in place, you can install the supplied hoses to the rack and the power-steering pump.To minimize bumpsteer, the tie rods need to be level with the lower control arms. The Steeroids kit has three differently sized spacers for the outer rod end to alter this angle and get it as close as possible. We installed it according to the instructions, with the two thin spacers between the rod end and spindle and the wide spacer below it. Moving all the spacers up lowers the angle of the tie rod, and moving them all below the rod end raises the angle.This universal-jointed shaft connects the column to the rack, secured with two Allen-head set screws. On the column end, one extra-long set screw is intended to screw straight through the tip of the column. Once you've set the location of the column and ensured there's no binding in the joints, mark the location for the hole and remove the column to drill the hole.With everything in place and adjusted according to Steeroids' recommended starting points, we put the Mustang on the ground to check the difference between the angles of the lower control arm and the tie-rod end. Not bad, but we wondered if getting the angle closer to that of our TCP control arms would reduce bumpsteer.With all the spacers moved to the bottom of the ball joint, we get an angle that's not too far off from the lower control arm. Theoretically, this should give us the least amount of bumpstop possible. However, in actuality, after testing multiple combinations, we found Steeroids' recommended settings recorded the least amount of bumpsteer.

Reclusive rocker Phil Collins is planning a return to the spotlight to raise funds for a charity he founded with his ex-wife 14 years ago.
The former Genesis frontman, who was mulling retirement just three years ago, has accepted an invitation to headline a charity concert for the Little Dreams Foundation in Florida on Dec. 6.
He will be joined by singers Laura Pausini and Alejandra Guzman at the Dreaming on the Beach concert.
Collins appeared on stage for the first time in three years back in May when he performed "In the Air Tonight" and "Land of Confusion" with students at Miami Country Day School's spring concert.

GAINESVILLE, Ga. -- On Wednesday, the mother of a murdered teen broke her silence, hoping to finally learn to the truth about her daughter's death.
Mona Harris says ever since Aug. 23, 2012, the day her 16-year old daughter Hannah Truelove disappeared, her family has suffered.
"I would like to send a message to anyone who may have information about Hannah's death to please come forward and help me end this nightmare," Harris said, fighting back the tears with each word.
Harris spoke at the Hall County Sheriff's Office after the announcement that Governor Nathan Deal had signed an executive order offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in Truelove's death.
Truelove's body was found Aug. 24 near the Lake Lanier Club Apartments in Gainesville, where she lived with Harris. Investigators say she had been stabbed multiple times, likely betrayed by someone she knew and followed willingly into the woods.
RELATED | Hannah Truelove 'violently killed'
"We can't go back and save Hannah but we can honor her memory and bring closure to her tragic death," Harris said.
Investigators hesitate to call the teen's murder a cold case, but the reality is, nearly six months into the investigation, they're out of leads.
"We're very hopeful that, not just the reward money but the personal appeal from the victim's family will spur someone who knows something," said Hall County Sgt. Stephen Wilbanks.
RELATED | Truelove murder investigation stalled?
On Twitter, Truelove had mentioned a stalker, and in the days before her death even wrote, "I'm so scared right now." But investigators don't believe they're connected.
"None of those leads were really substantiated," Wilbanks said.
Instead, deputies believe the key is a car -- or at least the passengers in it. A late 1990's to early 2000 four door Chevy or Dodge, that at the time had substantial front end damage, was seen around the complex the day she disappeared. It's described as light silver with a lighter colored driver's side door.
"I pray to God almighty you will do this for Hannah, even though you may not have known her. Please help my family by coming forward with your information, even if that information is about your son or daughter," Harris said.
Anyone with information in Truelove's death is asked to call Hall County investigators at 770-503-3232 or the GBI tip line at 800-597-8477.

But who's counting? We are very excited!
We're excited for you guys to be here. Clone Nation!
Have a great time here in Ames and at ISU!
You'll love Ames in the fall! ISU has a great campus and everyone is expecting great things from the basketball program (something we hope that Mr. Niang can help with).

Excellent. Enjoy your visit to Ames and ISU.
Also, don't mistake low volumes of responses in this thread to show lack of interest or excitement for Georges, Friday before a football game weekend tends to have everyone with a one track mind when basketball tip is still a month away.
Hope you enjoy what you see. Last weekend when I was on campus it was beautiful, hopefully there's still plenty of leaves in the trees.
"Blamo"! The new CF approved swear word.
Enjoy Ames! Looking forward to watching him play. Following all the updates on twitter it seems he is not only a rising star and a solid young man.
Have a great time. Can't wait to see Georges in a Cyclone uniform. Will he be bringing anyone along?
***OP of the Largest Thread on CF***
Have a great weekend! I hope you love Iowa State and Ames as much as we do.
Georges seems to be a hell of a player! I have never seen anyone finish so well with both hands! There's no doubt in my mind he will be a fan favorite by the time its said and done!
You live in Kansas City. Think you dumb ape.
Hope that the weather is great.
You (I'm sure) are so proud of your son & he stands out. Not only a great baller with a hard work ethic but a leader of his school. He's as impressive off the court as on.
As an alum who has 2 kids @ ISU right now & my 3rd to start next year. Welcome to #CyclONEnation...
Best of luck to your son. You have picked a great college and we sure love our teams. Playing for Coach Hoiberg is an honor & Georges is deserving.
Safe travels to you
Niang = Production
Production = Winning
Have fun, it should be a great day. Will Georges be working out with the team that weekend?
We LOVE hard working athletes here. There's no doubt Georges would be a cherished player at Iowa State.
Welcome to a great family! We love to watch our BB team. Mayor/Coach Hoiberg will provide your son a great environment for learning/playing the game and getting a great education.
Hilton Magic ... it's brewing.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA9) -- Only on 9, we have disturbing allegations about a mentally ill Maryland man locked up in a maximum security prison in Pennsylvania.
His mother alleges he has the IQ of a child, and is being grossly mistreated behind bars.
A lawsuit recently filed on behalf of mentally ill inmates indicates he's not alone.
"Chris is a kid. He's a 40 year-old little kid. He still colors. He does puzzle books. He watches cartoons. He's a 40 year-old little child," said Kim Wallace, Christopher's aunt.
Christopher Harper is also a convicted felon, locked up in a maximum-security prison in Pennsylvania serving a 10-year sentence for burglary-a crime his mother insists he did not commit.
"They called Christopher a mastermind in the courtroom and Chris looks at the judge and says 'What's a mastermind?' It's killing me. It literally is killing me," said Cheryl Bair, Christopher's mother. She surrounds herself with his letters.
"Mommy, please come get me," she read. "Please Mommy, come get me. This is every letter and I've got hundreds of letters. It breaks my heart and I cry every time I get a letter."
It's especially gut-wrenching because Christopher has the mental capacity of an 11 year-old.
"It's not hi Mom, how ya doing, Mom? It's Mommy, please get me out of here," said Cheryl. "Mommy, when are you coming to get me? Mommy, can you just call up here and tell them you're taking me home?"
Diagnosed with mental illness at the age of 5, Chris later suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed. According to his mother, he battles severe depression, among other illnesses.
"Two of the guards, at separate times, told him you're nothing but white trailer trash," said Cheryl. "You're nothing but white trailer trash, you might as well go kill yourself because you're never going to get out of here. You're too stupid to get out of here. You don't tell a mentally ill person this!"
And she says, he's been in solitary confinement since he entered Greene three years ago. His inability to conform to prison rules led to harsher punishment: he's not allowed phone calls or visits, even from family.
"He's up there with the lifers. People that have committed rape, murder, murdering police officers," she said. "They all sit there and laugh about it. They think it's funny. They say you're here for what?! Why are you still here? And Chris is like, they won't let me go."
Christopher's case is not unique. The Disability Rights Network of Pennsylvania has filed this lawsuit in federal court on behalf of Christopher and 800 mentally ill inmates like him, all of whom are in solitary confinement.
"Despite their loss of a great many of their civil rights, they do not lose the right to live without torture or under cruel and unusual punishment conditions," said Robert Meek, of the Disability Rights Network of Pennsylvania.
The suit filed by Meek's group alleges the state's failure to provide adequate treatment to its mentally ill prisoners violates the Constitution. As does their ongoing punishment, allegedly done without consideration of an inmate's mental health.
"Inmates are written up for things like suicidal gestures, for making nooses out of bed sheets. Refusal to obey an order, refusal to stop banging their head against a window screen," said Meek.
In the meantime, a Maryland family waits for Christopher to come home and struggles with how the most powerful country in the world is treating him.
"It breaks my heart and it tears me up inside," said Cheryl.
"My husband served, our brothers, all three of them served, our Dad served, our step-Dad served and this is what they do to Christopher? I mean, c'mon," said Christopher's Aunt Kim.
"I just want my son home," said Cheryl. "I want to take care of my son the way I've taken care of him for 40 years."
Despite sending the prison 65 pages of medical records documenting her son's mental illness, Cheryl says the prison refuses to acknowledge it.
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections couldn't talk about his case specifically, but did say all inmates and their families have use of a grievance system, including a hotline number, if they feel an inmate is being mistreated.

So the "mood of the country" can be firmly placed on a number of factors:1) Fear mongering by certain TV personalities who seemingly have little social responsibility .2) Gross exaggerations by the media (eg., one million demonstrators vs. a more realistic 70 to 80K)3) Gross exaggerations by bloggers on the internet including overemphasis of Obama's African parentage and his father's Muslim beliefs.4) Intrinsic racism in America which causes a festering of dissatisfaction with a fine President whose skin happens to be dark.5) Vast discontentment with the economy, including massive layoffs and losses in jobs, now being laid at the feet of present government desperately trying to turn things around.6) Increasing discontent with Afghan war and America's participation in it.7) Discontentment with movement of jobs and manufacturing overseas.Pretty potent mix, isn't it?
And in the UK the whole of our dubious, over geared, financial apparatus looked like it was about to blow apart 18 months ago - which may have had a good side as well as a bad side. Then the Government stepped in and "rescued" the whole rotten mess. It has settled back to pretty much what it was before and the bad guys have mostly kept their comfy jobs - except loans are only available to ordinary people at rip-off interest rates, despite near zero base rates.I am starting to think that it would have been better if the whole thing had collapsed. The alternative is like somebody avoiding being sick after they have eaten a bad meat pie. Getting it all up might have been better than that unending queasy feeling.I am betting on a double dip recession.
In the UK the politicians are being pushed towards the edge of a cliff. Pretty soon the mega-money that was paid out in order to keep the greedy incompetents who wrecked the economy comfortable is going to have to be recovered from public expenditure budgets.I think they have basically smashed up the toy box; now nobody can play.
