Critical, independent voices are seldom found within the citadels of international finance. That's what makes Nomi Prins unique. During fifteen years in the upper flights of banks like Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, and Lehman Brothers, Prins never lost her ability to see the broader picture. Furthermore, as this eye-opening book testifies, she lived to tell the tale.
The result is an insider's account of the big banks' giddy ride through the boom economy. Prins provides fascinating firsthand detail of day-to-day life in the financial leviathans, with all its rich absurdities and ceaseless power plays. Uncovering the old-boy networks and hot-money flows between Wall Street, Corporate America, and Capitol Hill, she also exposes the whitewash reforms brought in to control them.
In the first years of the Bush administration some of America's most prominent corporate executives cashed out billions of dollars in stock options before driving their companies to ruin through fraud and bankruptcy. In their wake they left a tangle of lost jobs, depleted pensions, and shattered lives. Yet, to write off this corruption as the unbridled greed of a select few is an oversimplification. As Prins shows in this devastating expos�, the much-publicized corporate malfeasance of recent years resulted from deregulation that trashed the rules of responsible corporate behavior. Faced with increasingly absent regulatory agencies, toothless legislation, and an utter lack of accountability, the stock market roared on the back of phony balance sheets while the executives made out like bandits and Congress looked the other way. Worse yet, everything remains in place for a repeat performance. [via]

Re: help me detox/chelate heavy metals and toxins from my body.
Aman, if your in the UK by chance you won't be able to get DMPS at all. I've tried myself and you cannot get it in the UK. Your best bet will be DMSA. My local G.P's don't even know what DMPS or DMSA is. DMPS has to be administered by a licensed medical doctor in both the UK & US. There are no doctors that I know of who can perscribe DMPS for oral administration in the UK. The NHS as far as I know only uses EDTA for acute mercury exposure, that's it!. C |

Cat TipsLocal animal shelters often work together within a community, so don't restrict your pet search to just one type, such as a "no-kill shelter." read moreCat Health Care on a BudgetBy Elizabeth WassermanDuring the economic meltdown, families are looking to cut expenses, including their pets' health care costs. But Arden Moore, editor of Tufts University's Catnip magazine and author of Happy Cat, Happy You (Storey Press 2008), learned firsthand why it's sometimes a good idea to pay a little more up front and avoid costly veterinary bills later. Moore had purchased pet health insurance for her two dogs and her youngest cat. But when her 12-year-old cat, Callie, had to undergo radioactive iodine treatment for hyperthyroidism, it cost $1,500 from her pocket. "Because of her advanced age and preexisting condition, the insurance policy would only cover accidents -- not medical conditions," Moore says. The lesson she learned: get a health insurance policy when your cat is young, before it develops a health condition. "We love our pets," Moore says, "but medical procedures can be very expensive." Here are some other pointers on how to best maintain your cat's health during the recession, without it costing an arm and a leg: Tip No. 1: Don't Skip the Annual Checkup "When talking about pet health care on a budget, treat it like your child's health care -- it's the one thing you don't want to skimp on," says Pam Johnson-Bennett, certified animal behavior consultant and author of several books on cats, including Psycho Kitty (Ten Speed Press 2007). "Your cat should be going to the veterinarian a minimum of once a year for a checkup and whatever else the cat needs for its stage of life. The sooner you find out about something that might be wrong, the easier and cheaper it is to correct." Tip No. 2: Shop Around for Vaccines First, try your local animal shelter or humane society. They often hold walk-in clinics. It may cost you in time (there are often waiting lines), but it will save you in your pocketbook. Certain humane societies, for example, have advertised feline leukemia vaccines for $15 apiece and rabies shots for as little as $12. Fees can vary. If your local animal welfare organization doesn't offer vaccinations, ask other cat owners or inquire at your local pet shop about where an animal lover on a budget can get low-cost vaccines for kitty. Tip No. 3: Ask for Generic Medications "Veterinarians are like that, too. You can ask them if a generic is OK," Johnson-Bennett says. "If it's not, they will specifically write that on the prescription." She also suggests that if you must spring for the name brand, see if your veterinarian might let you pay in increments on a payment plan if you've lost your job or are having other money troubles. There's no harm in asking. Tip No. 4: Brush Kitty's Teeth and Hair By the same token, another regular grooming routine to get into with your cat is brushing its hair. "I have a short-haired cat, and I brush it not only to keep the coat clean, but to let me feel for any lumps and bumps that weren't there last week," says Johnson-Bennett. Another positive effect of a regular brushing is that you can possibly cut down on your cat's hairballs. The more dead hair you remove, the less the cat is ingesting. Hairballs can become costly if they cause an intestinal blockage, which may jeopardize both your cat and your pocketbook. Tip No. 5: Practice Good Nutrition and Don't Overfeed Keeping your cat at a healthy weight can also prevent future health problems. "Fat cats may look cute, but those cats can cost you because they're more prone to developing diabetes, arthritis and other conditions," Moore says. "Treat them with calorie-free hugs, rather than a bunch of extra food treats." Tip No. 6: Try Pet Health Insurance Here are some quick questions to ask when considering cat health insurance:
As Moore found out the hard way, cat health insurance "is your safety net." Elizabeth Wasserman, a Washington, D.C., area-based freelancer, has been writing about pets, among other topics, for more than 15 years. Her love of dogs, in particular, was handed down through the generations from her great-grandfather, Eric Knight, who wrote the book Lassie Come Home in the 1930s. Posted on March 10, 2009Jackie says: Marilyn wrote about losing a kitty to death because of vet costs. I am so, so sorry, Marilyn. It compounds the grief to know that our lack of funds for exorbitant vet bills contributes to the loss of our pets. My beloved Magnolia came to her end in December. I found that the Cat Care Society will discount their services on a sliding scale for those of us who are financially compromised. I found them too late. Please remember the love you & your kitties share will always stay in your heart & soul. Money cannot buy that. Posted on February 2, 2009Marilyn says: The tips are good for when one has a stable job with stable hours for an easily budgeted paycheck. But what about those that have variations in how much is received from paycheck to paycheck? I just recently lost one kitty due to high expenses and no funds to provide care outside of what I could do on my own. I'm very concerned for my other kitty that is the sibling to the one that passed a few days ago. The financial strain has not changed and while she is not ill at the moment I am concerned that I was unable to determine what caused my other kitty to become so ill so quickly due to lack of funds for tests and medicine for something she may too have contracted but is not showing symptoms of at this time. I spent days calling and e-mailing so many different groups and could find no assistance. So unfortunately I was forced to watch my beloved kitty die -- he woke me up in his last hours and said his good-byes. What's frustrated me and upset me the most is that it costs money "I don't have" to help ease the pain quicker as well as more money "I don't have" to take care of his remains properly and to allow a part of him to remain with me always. There are several groups that I will now refuse to deal with due to the fact that I was essentially told I have to watch my beloved companion die because I did not have the money in full to hand over to them. I can't afford the insurance part as I can't even afford that for my own health, but my beloved kitties will be taken care of first before me. I'm a bargain shopper by nature, but during this major crunch financially I find it difficult to make ends meet shopping at dollar stores to save funds. Posted on January 31, 2009Kathy Jones says: Great article, it really answered many questions I've been wondering about. Thanks!!! Posted on January 14, 2009Toniann says: thanks for the great tips Posted on January 29, 2009wally holeman says: Yes, WCCO did a story on cats about two ago, about low cost veterinar clinic. I'm retired & my wife is unemployed & we have a cat that has a lower urinary tract disease. The vet we take him to wants $150.00 & we just don't have it right now.

The four men gathered one night last month at a restaurant in Vero Beach, Fla., over a meal of steak, pasta and red wine. They had become friends over the years, and their discussions transcended shop talk, but in this instance they knew the conversation would quickly turn to the art of pitching.
Sandy Koufax, Al Leiter, Tom Glavine and John Franco were the four who met for dinner that night, a sort of roundtable of lefties with decades of success on the mound. As the dinner wore on, it became clear to three of them what they had truly united for: to razz Leiter.
Koufax, the Hall of Famer, has long implored Leiter to pitch away from hitters, but it was not until Glavine arrived in February for his first spring training with the Mets that Leiter began trying to mimic Glavine's signature changeup. Leiter focused so much on incorporating that pitch into his repertory of cut fastballs that when Koufax later visited the Mets' camp, he chided Leiter for listening to Glavine after Koufax had been telling him the same thing for years.

China Must Reform CPI Calculation Methodology, Researcher Writes in Daily
By Bloomberg News -
China must reform the way it compiles the consumer price index as its focus on food prices doesn't tell the real tale about inflation, Yi Xianrong, a researcher at the Institute of Finance and Banking of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, wrote in a commentary in the China Daily.
The effects of excessive credit growth in the country is "inestimable," Yi wrote. Increases in asset prices over the past year will increase the cost of labor and fuel higher inflation, Yi said in the commentary.

In an attempt to weaken Afghan President Hamid Karzai's grip on power, certain powers that be from the West are creating a brand new prime minister position and planning to redirect funds from Karzai's headquarters in Kabul to the provinces.
AP photo / M. Spencer Green
The methods used to attain what we want, we are told by reality television programs, business schools and self-help gurus, are irrelevant. Success, always defined in terms of money and power, is its own justification. Our moral collapse is as terrifying, and as dangerous, as our economic collapse.
President Obama personally conducted a tour of the White House for "60 Minutes" and in the Sunday broadcast defended his embattled treasury secretary, said sending more troops to Afghanistan was his toughest decision yet, and refused to grant a look at his wife's vegetable garden. The president also took the opportunity to unload on Dick Cheney, who recently suggested we are less safe without torture.
White House / Pete Souza
The president has frustrated his anti-war base with plans to escalate the war in Afghanistan, but he told "60 Minutes" on Sunday that he's not looking to stay indefinitely: "What we can't do is think that just a military approach in Afghanistan is going to be able to solve our problems. ... So what we're looking for is a comprehensive strategy. And there's got to be an exit strategy."
NATO today, approaching its 60th birthday, faces the prospect of sending home all of its units not willing to fight in Afghanistan under the American flag. They will go home to "defend" Europe. From whom?
France's president has lived up to the stereotype that his people, fond as they are of home vacationing and generally convinced of their own superiority, not infrequently fail to know what they are talking about when dealing with foreign countries.

"Military women are more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire in Iraq," said Rep. Jane Harman in response to the news that the number of sexual assault reports in the military last year increased by about 9 percent to 2,923. The Pentagon believes the actual number of assaults is five to 10 times higher, because most go unreported.
For the crime of receiving two unrelated men in her home, a 75-year-old Saudi woman has been sentenced to 40 lashes and four months behind bars. Once again, a nation that is both one of America's closest allies and brutally oppressive of women finds itself in an awkward light.

Vice President Joe Biden held forth at a NATO meeting in Brussels on Tuesday, reinforcing President Barack Obama's message from last weekend about a slight shift in foreign policy with regard to Afghanistan and urging NATO to be vigilant about the threat of attacks from extremist groups harbored by Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The president will withdraw 12,000 troops from Iraq over the next six months, but where will he send them? Back to America? Ski trip to Aspen? Or perhaps he'll just airlift the veterans to Afghanistan, where a similar number of reinforcements has been promised over a similar period.
President Barack Obama met recently with the prime ministers of Canada and Britain, two NATO allies looking for a way out of Afghanistan even as the U.S. is talking escalation.

Combat troops are to be pulled out of Iraq by August 2010, President Obama said, but some 50,000 occupation troops will remain behind. Someone should let the Iraqis know the distinction.
The well-off will pay more in taxes. And before the howling on the right gets too loud, consider that we have just gone through a long era involving a far less frank form of redistribution—upward.

In his first speech to a joint session of Congress, President Obama acknowledged the dire state of the economy, but struck a hopeful tone as he expanded on his vision for recovery. Investments in energy, education and health care will be key, he said, as will an expanded bailout of the financial sector. (Summary, video and full text after the jump)

I have often asked for an explanation of why the United States should be at war with the Taliban. Of the several reasons given, none is satisfactory, and all fail to grasp the fundamental truth that peace is better than war.

Bibi Netanyahu's assumption of power in Israel sets the stage for a huge campaign by the Israeli government, and its well-oiled lobby groups in Washington, to push us into a war with Iran, but a stable relationship with Iran would do more to protect Israel and our interests in the Middle East.
Except for the brief NATO intervention in Kosovo and Serbia, all of the significant U.S. military expeditions since the Cold War have been fought against Asians, and we have lost nearly all of them.
We seem to have spent our way—to the tune of $864 billion—into allowing our friends the Pakistanis to enter into a peace treaty, or something that looks like it, with the Taliban.

Congressional Republicans, with the exception of that embarrassingly shrunken contingent of three moderates, will rue their legacy of deep indifference at a time of true national emergency, one that makes George W. Bush's far more costly war on terror now seem an absurdly irrelevant exercise.
Exactly what do we think we are doing in Afghanistan and Pakistan? Are we there to liberalize their forms of religious observance, or conduct a war over theology, or establish permanent NATO bases there, or are we searching for Osama bin Laden? It seems that we are doing all of these things at the same time. But why?
DoD / Sgt. Zach Otto, U.S. Army
President Obama's desire to escalate the war in Afghanistan, a sore spot for the progressives and anti-war folk who helped elect him, took a major step forward Tuesday when the White House announced plans to raise troop levels in Afghanistan by 50 percent over the next few months.

Relations with Russia haven't been this frosty since there was an East Berlin. President Obama may be distracted by other priorities, but getting reacquainted with Vladimir Putin and his nuclear arsenal should be at the top of the list.
Have we learned nothing from the Iraq war? The Obama regime is gunning for more fighting in Afghanistan at a time when the U.S. should be seeking more talk.
USAF / Tech. Sgt. Charlein Sheets
The military's spin budget—covering recruitment, advertising and public relations—has jumped 63 percent over the last five years, to $4.7 billion, according to a yearlong investigation by the Associated Press. The Pentagon pays nearly as many people to influence public opinion as the State Department has in its entire work force.
John Kenneth Galbraith once warned that U.S. foreign policy suffers from institutional rigidity with a "strong commitment to error." What better proof than the planned surge in Afghanistan?

He's back: Stuart Bowen, the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, has released a new volume in his series of blood-boiling reports. Looking back on his five years as a watchdog, Bowen laments the widespread waste of taxpayer funds in Iraq, and warns that the same mistakes are being made in Afghanistan.
The American participants in this year's World Economic Forum have been the first to confront the full international blowback to the U.S.-created world economic crisis, which has devastated the nation's reputation for competence, along with the justification for its six-decade role as world leader.

I wonder if we are "normalizing" war. It's not just that Israel has yet again gotten away with the killing of hundreds of children in Gaza.
Adding to the solemn string of record-breaking statistics, new figures show that the suicide rate among U.S. Army members has hit its highest level in three decades. Last year, over 128 soldiers took their own lives, a telling sign of our military and political climate.
Turning away from the nation-building exercises that defined Bush-era policies but maintaining the dubious "war on terror" frame, Defense Secretary Gates indicated Tuesday that he has changed his mind on the goals for Afghanistan. Gates declared that the U.S., instead of seeking democracy, should set more limited goals in the long war and occupation.
NATO has no coherent overall purpose and has not had one since the end of the Cold War. Any number of redefinitions and reorganizations have been proposed or tried and have proved unsatisfactory because no one can explain what it is that NATO really does or is for, other than to clean up behind the United States.
Truthdig columnists Chris Hedges and Robert Scheer are among the notable writers who have signed this appeal urging President Obama to rethink Afghanistan. The ad, appearing in The Nation and The New York Review of Books, warns that "a new beginning will not be possible as long as we continue to spill the blood of the men, women, and children of Afghanistan."

The assault on Gaza exposed not only Israel's callous disregard for international law but the gutlessness of the American press. Nearly all reporters were, as during the buildup to the Iraq war, pliant stenographers and echo chambers.
How did the changing of the U.S. presidential guard register throughout the Middle East? Will Barack Obama deliver on his inaugural promise to usher in a new era of respect and consideration for mutual interests of the U.S. and the Mideast? This week's "Mosaic Intelligence Report" offers some answers.

The United States needs to contract the services of a U.S. special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan who is capable of visionary thinking, one who possesses the political courage to stand up to a president and a secretary of state and argue against bad policy. I do not believe Richard Holbrooke is such a man.
At least 20 people were killed in Pakistan on Friday in two missile attacks that are being attributed to unmanned U.S. drones near the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. It was the first such strike since Barack Obama took office as president.

Tuesday was welcome theater, as profound as it gets—but today, as Obama has declared, begins a new era of responsibility and accountability.

I do not like Hamas. I detest religious fundamentalism and the use of suicide bombers. I find the group's anti-Semitism and ruthless silencing of internal Palestinian opponents repugnant. The rocket attacks on Israeli civilians are a war crime. But this does not negate the legitimacy of Palestinian resistance to the long Israeli siege and occupation of Gaza.
George W. Bush gave his last presidential speech to the American public in a farewell address Thursday night that offered him a platform to have the (first) last word on his time in office. True to form, Bush stayed the course, giving little if any ground when it came to defending even the most contested aspects of his legacy.
AP photo / Mary Altaffer
It is unsurprising that a group like Human Rights Watch has condemned the Bush government for jettisoning the U.S. role as a defender of global human rights: Numerous examples—Guantanamo, gay marriage, Iraq, etc.—accentuate this failure.
The vision of a reconstructed, peaceful, stable, democratically governed Afghanistan faded fast after the U.S.-led invasion. Most Afghans now believe that it was nothing but a cover story for the Bush administration's real goal—to set up permanent bases in Afghanistan and occupy the country forever.
Hilda Solis does not have star power. What the nominee for labor secretary does have is a record of loyalty to those who work and want to work, and who wish to receive in exchange a decent wage and a measure of dignity.

Israel will, from now on, speak to the Palestinians in the language of death. And the language of death is all the Palestinians will be able to speak back. The slaughter—let's stop pretending this is a war—is empowering an array of radical Islamists inside and outside of Gaza.
Peace is not at hand, at least not as Americans define it. Yet peace has been breaking out all over.

In a rebuke to U.S. interests in the region and amid growing tensions between two nuclear powers, Pakistan is moving its forces from its border with Afghanistan—where Pakistani troops are fighting against the Taliban—and restricting soldiers from going on leave, as fears of conflict with India continue to grow.

Looking at business news and consumer issues from every angle
The Columbus Dispatch - September 24, 2012 11:55 AM
Here's a question most of who live here probably can't answer, since we live here: What's the best hotel in Columbus?
Fortunately, TripAdvisor - and its customers who stay here - can provide the answer.
And the winner is...
The Blackwell on the OSU campus.
Some of the 115 guests who rated it raved about the service, the quality of the coffee makers in the room, the comfort of the beds ... and the proximity to OSU.
The second highest-rated hotel is the Embassy Suites at the airport, followed by the Hampton Inn & Suites at Polaris.
OK, now I know where to put up my mother in law the next time she visits.
Here are the rest of the top 10 (from No. 4 to No. 10):
Hyatt Place OSU
Comfort Suites (E. Broad and 270)
Hilton Polaris
Holiday Inn Express Polaris
Courtyard Easton
Drury Inn Convention Center
Residence Inn Downtown
The number of taxpayers who still reach for a pen to fill out a tax form continues to shrink.
New Internal Revenue Service numbers show that 91 percent of individual tax returns filed this year by taxpayers doing their own work or using a preparer were filed electronically. That's 122.5 million returns.
Ford couldn't have asked for a better debut for its newly designed Mustang, with the top-rated morning news show in the country, ABC's Good Morning America, broadcasting the event live.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan gave a shout out to Ohio State's Scarlet and Gray Financial Coaching program to a group of about 7,000 financial-aid professional at conference in Las Vegas yesterday.
Duncan said he was excited to be at the conference because he wanted both to celebrate the "critical but unrecognized work that financial aid officers to every day throughout" and to encourage them to take an even larger role in creating a better financial-aid system for students across the country.
In August, President Barack Obama unveiled a set of new federal education initiatives that will help the nation with its college affordability and student debt problem.

Asperger Syndrome Through the Lifespan
In his original 1944 paper describing the children who later came to be described under his name, Hans Asperger recognized that although the symptoms and problems change over time, the overall problem is seldom outgrown. He wrote that "in the course of development, certain features predominate or recede, so that the problems presented change considerably. Nevertheless, the essential aspects of the problem remain unchanged. In early childhood there are the difficulties in learning simple practical skills and in social adaptation. These difficulties arise out of the same disturbance which at school age cause learning and conduct problems, in adolescence job and performance problems, and in adulthood social and marital conflicts." On the other hand, there is no question that children with AS have generally milder problems at every age compared to those with other forms of Autism or PDD, and their ultimate prognosis is certainly better. In fact, one of the more important reasons to distinguish AS from other forms of Autism is its considerably milder natural history.
The Preschool Child
As has been noted, there is no single, uniform presenting picture of Asperger syndrome in the first 3-4 years. The early picture may be difficult to distinguish from more typical Autism, suggesting that when evaluating any young child with Autism and apparently normal intelligence, the possibility should be entertained that he/she may eventually have a picture more compatible with an Asperger diagnosis. Other children may have early language delays with rapid "catch-up" between the ages of three and five years. Finally, some of these children, particularly the brightest ones, may have no evidence of early developmental delay except, perhaps, some motor clumsiness. In almost all cases, however, if one looks closely at the child between the age of about three and five years, clues to the diagnosis can be found, and in most cases a comprehensive evaluation at that age can at least point to a diagnosis along the PDD/Autism spectrum. Although these children may relate quite normally with the family setting, problems are often seen when they enter a preschool setting. These may include: a tendency to avoid spontaneous social interactions or to show very weak skills in interactions, problems sustaining simple conversations or a tendency to be perseverative or repetitive when conversing, odd verbal responses, preference for a set routine and difficulty with transitions, difficulty regulating social/emotional responses involving anger, aggression, or excessive anxiety, hyperactivity, appearing to be "in one's own world," and the tendency to overfocus on particular objects or subjects. Certainly, this list is much like the early symptom list in Autism or PDD. Compared to those children, however, the child with AS is more likely to show some social interest in adults and other children, will have less abnormal language and conversational speech, and may not be as obviously "different" from other children. Areas of particularly strong skills may be presen t, such as letter or number recognition, rote memorization of various facts, etc.
Elementary School
The child with AS will frequently enter kindergarten without having been adequately diagnosed. In some cases, there will have been behavioral concerns (hyperactivity, inattention, aggression, outbursts) in the preschool years. There may be concern over "immature" social skills and peer interactions, and the child may already be viewed as being somewhat unusual. If these problems are more severe, special education may be suggested, but probably most children with AS enter a more mainstream setting. Often, academic progress in the early grades is an area of relative strength; for example, rote reading is usually good, and calculation skills may be similarly strong, although pencil skills are often considerably weaker. The teacher will probably be struck by the child's "obsessive" areas of interest, which often intrude in the classroom setting. Most AS children will show some social interest in other children, although it may be reduced, but they are likely to show weak friend-making and friend-keeping skills. They may show particular interest in one or a few children around them, but usually the depth of their interactions will be relatively superficial. On the other hand, quite a number of children with AS present as pleasant and "nice," particularly when interacting with adults. The social deficit, when less severe, may be under appreciated by many observers.
The course through elementary school can vary considerably from child to child, and overall problems can range from mild and easily managed to severe and intractable, depending upon factors such as the child's intelligence level, appropriateness of management at school and parenting at home, temperamental style of the child, and the presence or absence of complicating factors such as hyperactivity/attentional problems, anxiety, learning problems, etc.

Google+ fervor may be making Facebook nervous
Google+ may be getting enough attention to make Facebook, Twitter anxious
Computerworld - Just two weeks old, Google's social network is generating a tidal wave of curiosity and excitement. And that level of interest may have social networking giants like Facebook and Twitter getting a little anxious.
"Google+ is getting a lot of attention, particularly in techie circles," said Dan Olds, an analyst at Gabriel Consulting Group. "Since these are the circles that Facebook and Twitter employees circulate in, all of this attention must be causing them at least a little bit of anxiety."
He added that no one at the other social networks should be in a panic, but they should be paying close attention to the momentum that Google+ seems to be building.
"We're not talking 'waking up in the middle of the night screaming' anxiety," said Olds, "It's more of the 'tossing and turning before falling asleep' variety at this point."
After launching as an invitation-only field trial, Google has left its Invite mechanism open for a few more days. Users are finding slews of notices that new people have joined the site and have added them to their circles. Headlines are popping up proclaiming on both tech and mainstream news sites that Google has overcome its social networking slump, while other sites focus on Google+ taking on Facebook, or Google+ taking on Twitter.
Google+ is filled with posts from users commenting on the new service, offering tips to other users and making suggestions to Google. Some comments include tips on how to organize contacts or how to scroll to the next post in a user's stream. Users are also posting funny videos and cartoons about Google+ taking down Facebook and Twitter.
A Computerworld reporter has been receiving requests from colleagues and total strangers who want an invitation to join the new social network.
"I think Google is playing the 'exclusive club' card very well with Google+," Olds said. "It's really helped them create some buzz around it."
More buzz went up this week when an unofficial study was posted claiming that Google+ has already grabbed 10 million users.
Google has not released any statistics about the number of people who have joined Google+. The company has remained tight-lipped about everything from the number of users to bugs that Google engineers might be finding in the system, or about any upcoming changes.
But that hasn't stopped people from making educated guesses about the number of users. In fact, at least one person has spent quite a bit of time trying to calculate the number. Paul Allen, the founder of Ancestry.com (not the Microsoft co-founder), has been receiving a lot of attention on Google+ for his estimate that Google's social network already has about 10 million users.
According to Allen, who based his numbers on a complex calculation of U.S. census data and the 100 to 200 most popular surnames, the number of Google+ users worldwide hit 7.3 million on Sunday. That's up from 1.7 million users on July 4, which would represent a 350% increase in just six days, Allen wrote.
"I project that Google will easily pass 10 million users [Tuesday] and could reach 20 million users by this coming weekend if they keep the Invite button available," Allen wrote on Google+. "As one G+ user put it, it is easy to underestimate the power of exponential growth."
In an email to Computerworld, Google would not say if Allen's numbers are accurate or even in the ballpark. A spokeswoman simply said the company has not disclosed any numbers.
But Ezra Gottheil, an analyst at Technology Business Research, noted that it's a testament to how interested people are in Google+ that someone would go to such lengths to come up with a user estimate.
The people who use Google+ are giving that estimate a lot of attention. As of 11 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, Allen's post had 109 comments, and it had been shared 1,000 times.
Ten million users is a mere drop in the bucket compared with social networking giant Facebook, which confirmed last week that it has surpassed 750 million users.
However, if Allen's figures are close to accurate, it means that Google+ is seeing some very strong growth. And that bodes well for a social network that must wage a decidedly uphill battle in taking on Facebook.
"I don't think it's impossible for Google+ to have hit those numbers," said Gottheil. "Given its high profile and the now open invitations, it could well be true."
Bill Gross, the founder and CEO of IdeaLab, a business incubator based in Pasadena, Calif., also got attention on Google+ when he predicted this week that the social network will go from zero to 100 million users faster than any other service in history.
"People are engaging with it like crazy," said Gross in a wall post. "Now it's not completely fair, since when Facebook started, and when Twitter started, etc. those were tiny companies, and Google is huge. However, the product is extremely well executed, and a lot of people are smitten."
While Gross doesn't say his prediction is based on any statistics, his post received more than 120 comments and was shared by 431 people.
Gottheil noted that just because Google+ is getting a lot of attention, it doesn't mean that people are dropping Facebook or Twitter by the wayside.
"These are tire-kickers," said Gottheil. "There's no reason to believe these people have stopped using Facebook.... People aren't switching, and I don't think they're committing. It makes sense. Right now, Google+ is just a collection of possibilities."

WASHINGTON — As its last major act before leaving Washington for the fall campaign, the House is voting to put the government on autopilot for six months.
The temporary spending bill is needed to avert a government shutdown when the current budget year expires Sept. 30. At issue are the day-to-day operating budgets of Cabinet agencies that are funded annually by Congress through 12 appropriations bills.
Thursday's vote represents a retreat by tea party House Republicans, since the stopgap measure permits spending at a pace that's $19 billion above the stringent budget plan authored by GOP vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
Instead, the measure permits spending at the higher budget "caps" permitted under last summer's hard-fought budget and debt deal between President Barack Obama and Capitol Hill Republicans. Typically, short-term spending bills freeze agency budgets at existing levels, but Thursday's measure actually would permit an across-the-board 0.6 percent increase, in keeping with the budget deal. It also maintains spending on domestic programs rather than shifting $8 billion from domestic programs to the Pentagon.
Ryan was scheduled Thursday to make his first appearance at the Capitol since being named to the GOP ticket. He'll vote in favor of the measure.
Even though it abandons the GOP budget, the six-month spending measure has backing from conservatives who want to avoid the prospect of an omnibus spending bill in the postelection lame duck session and who hope to have greater leverage next year.
"If you anticipate being in a better bargaining position in January," said Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J., "why go to the bargaining table in December?"
The Senate is expected to easily pass the bill next week and then is likely to exit Washington for the campaign.
The spending measure is the last major piece of pre-election legislation likely to be enacted into law from a Congress that's been mostly gridlocked from the moment it took the oath of office.
The measure would replenish disaster aid coffers, finance the food stamp program after it lapses on Sept. 30 and reauthorize for six months federal grants to states to run their welfare programs.
Just a handful of high-priority programs would be awarded larger increases, including a government cybersecurity initiative, wildfire suppression efforts, a drive to modernize the U.S. nuclear arsenal and processing of veteran disability claims. A popular initiative to repair the dome of the Capitol was left unfunded, however, despite a high-profile push by Senate Democrats.
Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky., had preferred to do a shorter-term temporary spending bill in hopes of completing the appropriations bills in December as part of a catchall omnibus measure. Instead, the six-month measure means giving up months of work by the Appropriations committees.
"I think it's too bad because that's an awful lot of work that kind of went down the drain," said Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho.
Also Thursday comes a House vote on a curiously-drafted bill that aims to turn off an upcoming round of automatic spending cuts of more than $100 billion set to slam the economy in January as punishment for the failure of last year's deficit "supercommittee" to strike a bargain.
But the measure, the ambitiously titled "National Security and Job Protection Act," would only turn off the automatic cuts if Congress were to enact a separate package of big spending cuts. If Congress were to pass such a bill, of course, lawmakers would use that legislation to block the across-the-board cuts.

Customer King of Tuzla - Arnold Jansen op de Haar Reviews (1)
by - written on 24/11/10 (Very useful, 61 readings)
Arnold Jansen op de Haar's "The King of Tuzla" shows signs of great promise but poor editing and a shoddy translation do much to overshadow the Dutchman's debut novel. Fascinated by the events over the last few decades in Yugoslavia, I had expected to be enthralled by this novel; clearly based on the author's own experiences as a United Nations peacekeeper in Bosnia, "The King of Tuzla" is the story of Tijman, an officer who commands respect from his men and makes a success of his mission but, at the same time, struggles to make sense of a growing feeling that this is no longer what he wants to do. I loved the character of Tijman; hardly a ... Read the complete review
