People, if you are a medical employee you for sure know what's going on secretly. Currently, your mom and pop physician offices where there was a small group of docs is soon coming to an end. They almost all are grouped under the big hospital systems governed and watched by the government. You can't blame the physicians, because they no longer have to be concerned with covering their employee benefits, building expenses and they are receiving better pay and perks for themselves. No more is there that close patient/doctor relationship, it's just herd them in and get them out fast! I didn't believe it but now I see that the wording "social medicine" is in fact what's taking place. Medicaid is expanding, and Medicare for the seniors but the in between's, trying to pay for the rising and half of the time now not hardly paying much on a visit or procedure is destroying the poor middleclass. Free cell phones, free internet, the best foods approved by WIC and on and on is being drained from the now poor middle class working folks. You know, in the beginning the "Tea Party" folks were labeled as a bunch of "crazies" now I see that they started seeing this early in the game and they had the guts and still do to get out there screaming for the shame this country is in for and after our current President is out of office in 4 years these things can never be changed. A sad day for all Americans be they gay, or whatever.......
You hit the nail on the head. Good post.

Things I liked:Accurate. Very well done. Things I would have changed:Package with a laser sight and results will be impressive. Things I liked:Overall, a good fun gun for the price. 520fps on my crony, pretty good. Things I would have changed:Picatinny rails are not exactly to spec. Trigger has no noticeable break point. Sights are worthless, they should have at least put the front sight at the front of the BB hopper and narrowed the rear slot some. They need to improve BB feed from the hopper, it can sometimes take a lot of shaking to get them to feed. Batteries rattle. What others should know:A CO2 tank adapter and remote line will make this gun a lot more fun and less expensive to run. Cut a small hole in the stock for the remote line to exit. Rails are not exactly Picatinny compatible. You may need to widen a notch with a file to fit some sights. Get a cheap open reflex sight and picatinny riser or a small laser. Let your neighbors know what you're doing so that they don't call LE at the sound of full auto fire. Things I liked:when it worked it was cool but that was seldom. Things I would have changed:I would make it so that the co2 cartridges would actually engage and not leak or not even pierce. I tried twice in getting this weapon and they both had trouble with this and they both had trouble feeding ammunition from the hopper to the magazine. I give it a thumbs down. Pyarmid air did nothing to address the problem other than to sending a new one What others should know:Don't buy it, it will frustrate you to death.

Explore Western Europe France Provence |
The colours of Provence are often vivid and lush. They may be natural, artistic, or exuberantly personal. Still, artists have been aware of the brilliance of the light and the colours of Provence and have come here to enjoy their vibrancy and recreate them in their paintings. Their list is long, but I will restrain myself by mentioning only a few of them. There was, of course Cézanne, whose home town Aix was, and many others, among them: Van Gogh, Dufy, Picasso, Chagall, Matisse, Renoir and Braque.

NOVEL: Kindness
"Like a poetic power plant Eiríkur harnesses portions of reality – uses them to create something electric, has them resound through overgrown and even distorted, yet directly related, presentations which challenge the reader while simultaneously reminding him of all that which too quickly gets forgotten […] Kindness is a sermon-on-the-mount about contemporaneity, performed in nimbly encoded images, sharp and rich in content.

The MAROON Vol. 61, No. 25 Loyola University, New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 April 22, 1983 Male residents caught in LU housing squeeze By John McCusker & Tom Harmeyer "You're just going to have to get an apartment." That was the only suggestion Daryl Hancock, assistant director for Residential Development, made to the line of Biever Hall residents who were told Tuesday that there would be no rooms for them next fall. Approximately 40 male Biever residents were turned away. According to Director of Residential Life Robert Reed, there were 125 openings for returning men and all were filled. The remaining. 155 rooms available for male undergraduates were reserved for incoming freshmen, who, by university policy, get priority over returning students. According to Reed, Dr. Rebecca U. Brechtel, director of admissions, requested 15 more spaces for freshmen males than last year. Many students were angry over losing their rooms, and posters went up announcing a demonstration at 9 p.m. in the residential quad. About 60 students showed up, as did WDSU-TV and WLDC-TV. Several students burned their room registration cards and chanted "we want rooms" as the cameras rolled. One poster read, "spend fall '83 in the street, courtesy Residential Life." During the rally, students aired their gripes about the way room registration was conducted. "They never said be in line early. They never said that if you signed up for a new room you could possibly lose your old room," Dean Colson, business freshman, said. Colson was one of the displaced students. Biology freshman John Egan blames the problem on "a lack of communication. Nobody told us if you didn't sign up early you'd lose your room. 1 might have to change universities just to get housing." "Loyola feels no responsibility to you," Stan Hjartberg, history junior who lost his room, said. "I really hated Daryl Hancock's flip response when we asked him what we should do. He just said, 'get an apartment.' " The rally broke up around 9:20, and most of the students headed back to the dorm, some to walch themselves on the 10 o'clock news. Wednesday, Vincent P. Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs, said, "I'm sorry last night that they did not take a waiting list. We should have. Some people have told me that the attitude displayed Students protest housing shortage. —Photo by Hennie Truiti Broz, Beck in presidential runoff By Andrew Moreau Student Government Association Vice President Pete Broz and Maroon Business Manager Kenneth Beck will enter a runoff election Tuesday and Wednesday for SGA president. Broz, business management junior, received 490 (35 percent) of the 1,403 votes cast, far short of the 50 percent necessary to claim the presidency. Beck, political' science/philosophy senior, received 258 (18.4 percent). As for the other presidential candidates, Amy Gomez, political science junior, received 253 votes (18 percent), Paula Guibault, communications junior, received 213 votes (15 percent) and James Gordon, communications/marketing junior, received 189 votes (13 percent). Broz said, "We want to thank everyone for their support, and we encourage everyone to come out and vote in the next election." Beck said, "It was a close race and I'm very grateful to have made the runoff. 1 think that the voter turnout showed a very conscientious effort on the part of all Loyola students to decide on their SGA president. I plan to give Pete a good, clean, hard fight." In the vice presidential race, John Killilea, a communications junior, with 754 votes (55 percent) defeated Tawny Mclntyre, business sophomore, who received 614 votes (45 percent). "I think my opponent ran a good race, and 1 would like to thank all of the students who supported me. I hope all of the people that ran for SGA and lost work with us next year so that we can pull all of our resources and make a better student government," Killilea said. Politcal science junior Scott Shea defeated Derrin Jourdan, philosophy junior, for president of the College of .arts and sciences delegation. Shea received 536 votes to Jourdan's 202. Representatives in the arts & sciences delegation include: Carla Barrow, Mary Ellen Burns, Lisa Cardamane, Guyleen Castriotta, Cathy Cross, Tom Delahaye, John Guidry, Lorenzo Lorenzo and Kim Moore. Andre C. Gaudin and Kimberly Krautier will be in a runoff for the remaining spot in the arts & sciences delegation.

The delegates elected are: Susan Bellan, I.ynne C'arr, Shelia Earthman, Miles Faust, James Hotard and Chris Wright. Patricia Ordonez and Mary Ann Plascenia will vie for the last seat.

For representative, Aaron Ambeau and Sandra Bastone will enter a runoff. Ambeau received 29 votes while Bastone collected 21. All of the candidates in the law school election ran unopposed.

In this week's edition of Pet Talk, Dr. Jen Klabunde from Northwood Animal Hospital talks with 7&4's Brody O'Connell and Megan Moore about obesity in pets.
Dr. Klabunde said that 55% of pets are overweight and this leads to decreased life expectancy, arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer.
Dr. Klabunde said giving your dog a hot dog is the equivalent of a human eating three cheeseburgers.
She also said giving your cat an ounce of cheese is the equivalent of a human eating three and a half cheeseburgers or four Hershey's chocolate bars.

Banks are scrambling to tighten controls as US agencies step up their efforts against money laundering. The knock-on effects of new legislation could have a profound impact on the face of Latin banking
It followed a US Senate investigation which had revealed in July that the bank had transferred $7 billion from Mexican drug cartels – as well as more funds from nations penalized by US sanctions, most notably Iran – into the US. The result of the fine has been a scramble by Latin American banks to strengthen their money laundering safeguards.
"If LatAm bank controls were not up to date then, you can bet they are now," says Mireya Lozano, a Mexico-City based consultant and member of the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS). "No bank wants to see itself...

Root Down
Online Reservations
We have been to Root Down several times and are never disappointed. We eat vegan and there are always several wonderful choices available. Had the risotto and hubby had the country fried tofu. What was great was the salads on the new menu. I had the root veggie salad and husband had the Brussels sprouts and kale. Wonderful presentation and taste.
This is one of our favorite restaurants in Colorado. They do it right.
I come to Denver for work and play, generally staying in the downtown area, and I always make time to come here. The menu items are derived from locally grown and / or organic selections. Presentation of the food is always perfect - the creator of this menu must have been a very talented and creative chef. Service has yet to be anything less than stellar. Due to these various positives, the wait can be painful without a reservation; even then it's worth it. Oh, the French Press coffee is a wonderful compliment to everything.
This was my first time to Root Down after hearing about it for so long!! You have to book weeks in advance, and we saw why when we got there. By 6:30 on a Saturday night, every table was filled. The decor is retro/chic/urban, but warm and inviting. The service was great, very helpul when making food and wine choices. We had two small plates and shared an entree - the diver scallops & Devils on Horseback were wonderful as was our chicken entree (with a grit cake that was very impressive)! As it was my birthday, they brought out two little passion fruit caramels that were so unique and amazingly good, along with a chocolate mousee dusted with pistachio crumbs..both were garnished with flowers. :) Loved it and can't wait to go back!!
You absolutely need a reservation since the Root Down food is terrific! We also enjoyed the "bottomless" Mimosas. Note that the menu is somewhat limited so check it before making reservation.
Root Down knocks it out of the park. Again. How is it that the arepas manage to get even better? The only problem is not giving into temptation and ordering the entire menu.
This was first time at Root Down and it was fantastic. A couple of my girlfriends and I went for brunch to get some wedding planning done. The place itself is a cute and trendy (but not in a pretentious way). Our server was friendly and prompt and didn't mind that we accidently lingered a little to finish planning even though they were pretty busy. We tipped her accordingly. The food was delish and I can't wait to go back to try some other dishes. The only caveat is that this place gets BUSY. It's not annoying when you are there but it took us two weeks to get a rez for Sunday brunch so you can't just walk in to this place and sit down. It's not a bad thing as I always like to see quality restaurants succeed. Just make sure you plan ahead.
I went to Root Down with friends before a night a the theatre. We selected Root Down because one of my friends is vegetarian, but we didn't all want to be locked into veggie only options. The sustainable practices and organic options appealed to us all. The table was ready for us as soon as we arrived, and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. The drinks were great and all of our dishes were fantastic. Before we left, we made plans to return. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Thanks for consistently great experience and food. Would love to see a few new items on your great menu!
Every dish has taste that changes as you eat it. Beautiful mixture of delicacies that leave you saying "WOW"
We come to Denver twice a year and always look forward to a stop at Root Down. Exceptional food and service in a casual urban setting. Fresh, local produce means the menu changes with the seasons. Foodies will love this place.
the food here has never disappointed me but prepare to wait quite a while for your food during brunch.
We took advantage of the friendly complementary valet service. The hostess took us to our table promptly at 6pm. We were then greeted by our server who was perfect. She introduced herself, asked if we had ever dined at Root Down, shared some things about the menu and then left. We selected a wine and our meals and were ready when she returned. All too often we are asked what to drink as soon as we sit down. She provided us with just the right amount of time. All throughout the dinner she had great timing, providing excellent service while not hovering at all. The food was great! Very fresh with a unique blending of flavors and textures. We will definitely be back as well as give gift certificates to friends and family.
We went on a busy Saturday night, and we quickly seated. Each and every thing we ordered off the menu was some of the best bites of food that we every had. I highly recommend the Lamb sliders, WOW so good. We can not wait to go back and try more items on the drink, food, and dessert menu. Make sure and save room for incredible desserts!
Food was good and service as best it could be, with how busy they always are for brunch. We still always had our bottomless mimosas filled. Even with the crowds. Everyone was happy with their food. Service is very accomodating. You can see why they are so popular.
We had friends from Honolulu staying with us over the long weekend, and we wanted to make their last night in town memorable. They each have some dietary restrictions and we knew that Root Down would be able to provide good dining choices. They were not disappointed. In fact, they loved the atmosphere, the food , and the staff. Our waiter was engaging which enhanced our experience. Thanks to Root Down for making their last night in Denver memorable.
Excellent menu, very "Denver". I hosted a dear friend from out-of-town (whose partner is a chef!) and he was very impressed. Root Down is now in my top 3 favorite places to take colleagues, friends, family, and guests. And this is coming from someone who's dined at over half of Denver's Restaurant Week lists eateries. Bravo! Our entire meal was vegetarian, but didn't feel like a second-class meal. Veggie sliders were outstanding, warm root salad could have been a meal on its own--very good, and the arepas were simply outstanding. Love the ambiance and service is heads-above most other places in town. Mostly, I sensed a deep sense of pride among the staff in what they have created: a food and community *experience*. Wonderful!
Had two male associates in town for a dinner meeting and I took them to Root Down. I thought they were pretty conventional in their tastes and might be put off by the creativity of the menu - but they weren't. They absolutely loved the food and the ambiance. They've talked to me about "Devils on Horseback" several times since we went. As always, dining at Root Down is always a treat!
It was a fantastic experience. The food was amazing and our waitress was great. The fall menu was delicious. Great bold, robust flavors and very allergen friendly. I am allergic to a lot of things and our waitress asked us if we had any allergies prior to ordering. I was very impressed. Can't wait to come back!
I had my best friend visiting from out of state and wanted to have a nice breakfast Saturday morning. I had to make the reservation two weeks ahead of time, but now that I've eaten there I know why. It was awesome. The only thing I didn't like was that since they had the door open to the patio I was pretty cold and couldn't take off my coat.
Good Food, Probably would skip the entrees next time as the small plates were better. Entrees are expensive for what you get but all of the food was good. 4 people for about 250 not to bad considering we had a bottle of wine and cocktails. Service was great! I liked the menu and its fun to see a place that changes depending on the time of year!
From start to finish our meal was excellent. We shared several small plates: Kale & brussel sprout salad Arepas Gnocchi I had veggie sliders with sweet potato fries and he had the short ribs that were so tender that I could not believe it! For dessert, banana creme brûlée pie and hot chocolate. The service was impeccable, thanks to Jeff. This is not or those seeking your standard meat and potatoes meal! However if you enjoy fresh ingredients with unusual combinations of flavors, Root Down is for you.
Thanks for making every dining experience something to remember. The food is always delicious and robust with flavor. The dining staff are superb. You always try to exceed the patrons expectations and we always leave smiling. Thank you guys!!
Ive been to Root Down several times now. This time my lunch partner was a little late, but even though they were closing in a short time, they were able to serve us all the way through dessert (a beet cake that was divine). Kudos once again Root Down. The only time you disappoint is when you are so busy that we cannot get in!
Root Down staff, particularly the wait staff, we're attentive and focused on having a memorable customer experience. The food was high quality and delicious. There were many options to select from, so even the most finicky person could find a selection to their liking. The atmosphere is eclectic and makes for a fun and more unique experience.
This restaurant is AMAZING!! I made reservations 2 weeks ahead and at first I thought that was so ridiculous for brunch but I have been proved wrong. My girlfriends and I have such busy schedules that when we get together our standards are higher than they should be but Root Down definitely met and exceeded our expectations! The endless mimosas were truly endless, our server even though she was visibly busy was very attentive, the kitchen staff was very professional and I like that it's an open kitchen, always makes me feel safer. The banana french toast is to die for! Can't wait for summer so we can sit out on their awesome patio!
Looking for something out of the ordinary? This was our first time at Root Down, definitely not our last! Choice of menu items was a challenge - not the usual fare, My wife and I each chose a different item and then shared - it was all excellent and tasty. We look forward to going back soon and trying additional items, recognizing that they change the items with the availability of different foods. If you like to extend your comfort level with different foods - We highly recommend you try ROOT DOWN. Making a reservation helps get the time you desire - - -
I am new to the neighborhood and was interested in checking out the Sunday $52.80 deal. It was amazing! The atmosphere, presentation, food and service were all phenomenal. I can't wait to check out brunch!
My husband and I have many different food allergies that keep us from dining out. When we finished telling our server, Jeff the extensive list he was more than willing to make accomidations for us. Jeff was a joy and very helpful at directing us through the unique and eclectic. Jeff was top notch!
From the moment we walked in the door, the host/hostess were very helpful and pleasant. The Bar was crowded... for good reason... but the manager personally helped us get a couple drinks quickly while we waited for our table. Our waiter was attentive but not invasive. The food was excellent and creative. We will go back many times and recommend to everyone.
At the suggestion of our server two of us ordered the veggie sliders. We certainly did not regret it! They were fantastic even the leftovers the next day. The third member of our party ordered the mussels and said they were wonderful. Certainly a gem for the neighborhood and for the diners as well.
Enjoyed the beet salad, lamb sliders, and hummus. Delicious, fresh farm to table dinner. Will return again and again.
Even though we were expecting the best, we were surprised to find it even better. Their spicy hot chocolate....perfect dessert on a cold night.
I absolutely LOVE Root Down! So fresh. Farm to table. Pure ingredients that are absolutely delicious. Perfect for sharing. Get the Pepper Blossom. It is am amazingly smooth, yet spicy drink!
We love this restaurant because they use locally grown foods with healthy options.
Had such a great time this past weekend when having lunch at Root Down! It was my 21st birthday and the staff was so friendly and welcoming that I felt at home right away. The service was great overall, the wait staff was super helpful with any of our questions and always made sure my bottomless mimosas were being topped off. One of the best experiences I've ever had at a restaurant!! On top of the service, the food was divine. I loved the traditional benedict but with the sun-dried tomato hollandaise and quinoa burger. I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu!
This place is such a great place for friends and all! There is always a waiting list and I know why....The food is great. Get your reservations or be prepared to wait.
Root Down never ever disappoints. I love this place and love the food. Kashmiri Chicken all the way!
An amazing spot to be festive and celebrate. Food was beyond delicious ! My taste buds were delighted with each bite! My husband and stepdaughter were mmming and oohing so much about the food - I never had to ask them how they were enjoying the food! Our service was also amazing - knowledgable wait staff and the extra treat to have the director of wine stop by and check on our selection.
I can only rave about Root Down. I dined there recently with my brother who has extensive food allergies. The staff was extremely accommodating and professional about meeting his food preparation needs. The chef came out to meet him and our waiter made him feel very comfortable. My brother raved about his meal and told me that he had a stellar experience. My beet salad was simply outstanding and to be savored. The country fried tofu wasn't exactly my taste seasoning-wise but it was still enjoyable and the rest of the dish was delicious. The combination of healthy and tasty can't be beaten. We left feeling very satisfied about choosing Root Down as part of his Thanksgiving visit from Boston.
Possibly an exaggeration, but Chris was a phenomenal server who made our selections easy and our wine superb. Can't wait to return.
This place is amazing. I have been here about a dozen or so times and it never fails to impress me! Kale and Brussels sprout salad was to die for, the veggie burger sliders were soooo good, and the bison meatballs were delicious. Root down is by far my favorite restaurant in Denver. I live in NYC now and I still haven't found a better restaurant. As a person who eats vegetarian 90% of the time, I love how much attention they pay to vegetables. In my opinion they are the star of the show.
My girlfriend and I had a delicious brunch here while exploring Denver. The bottomless mimosas started things off right. She had the Pulled Pork Omelette, which was very savory, as long as you can handle the habanero heat. If not, eating around the habaneros was fairly easy. I loved my Boulder Chicken Confit with poached eggs. The green chili grit cakes were amazing - I'm starting to get hungry just thinking about it again. Overall, it was a great brunch, and Sarah provided great service throughout the meal - among other things, keeping those mimosas topped off.
Our server seemed less than thrilled to be there but the blood orange mimosas are a must and the fried egg sandwich was delicious.
Went here for the first time for brunch to celebrate my birthday. The food and service was excellent! Its a bit of a drive from my home but I will definitely be visiting this restaurant again soon!
I always appreciate the friendly greeting when we enter the front door at Root Down, it sets a nice tone an enjoyable evening. This past Sunday evening delightful as always. My husband tried the roasted tomato lentil soup which was marvelous and the lamb sliders were tasty as always--he couldn't pass them up. I tried the roasted root vegetable salad and beef short rib special--melted in my mouth. Our server, Chris, was great, attentive and knowledgeable but never intrusive. Thanks, again, Root DOwn,perfect way to end the week.
Rootdown's Raw Night is really a special treat, first Tuesday of every month.
Fantastic overall experience. Great cocktails, excellent service and a really creative menu that satisfies foodies, carnivores and vegetarians alike. Looking forward to my next visit.
The food is a delight. The presentation is wonderful, the ingredients very fresh and the combinations of flavors pure fun. The wait staff at Root Down are each individually outstanding.
We had a great dinner for four, some with special food needs. The server was great with letting us know what was in each dish and we all enjoyed our meals and wine! We'll be back!

Bruce Lee for the ZX Spectrum (an 8-bit personal / home computers released in the UK in 1982 by Sinclair Research Ltd, which sold in excess of 5 million units worldwide) is one of THE defining games of the 1980s.
The Bruce Lee: ZX Spectrum HD app will be offered as an in-app purchase from within the ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection HD app. (The in-app will be priced at £1.49/€1.59/US$1.99 and it may include one or more other 8-bit games).
The Bruce Lee: ZX Spectrum HD app is also available in this stand-alone form. It does not include any other ZX Spectrum games but it does include an infinite lives version.
The Bruce Lee: ZX Spectrum HD app is the near-100% original ZX Spectrum game, as designed by Ron J. Fortier, with graphics by Kelly Day and music by John A. Fitzpatrick and published by Datasoft in 1984 and is brought to you - as an officially licenced product - utilizing our ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection HD technology.
- portrait and landscape play / display modes

- 'auto save', on exiting the game
- authentic 'ZX Spectrum' sound

About Datasoft's Bruce Lee: Bruce Lee is a platform/beat 'em up hybrid, in which the player controls Bruce Lee. The plot involves the eponymous martial artist advancing from chamber to chamber in a wizard's tower, seeking to claim infinite wealth and the secret of immortality. There are twenty chambers, each represented by a single screen with platforms and ladders. To progress, the player must collect a number of lanterns suspended from various points in the chamber. Each chamber is guarded by two mobile enemies; The Ninja, who attacks with a Ninjatō sword and The Green Yamo, a sumo wrestler who attacks with punches and kicks. A multiplayer mode (not supported in this app) allowed a second player to control Yamo, or to allow two players to alternately control Bruce. The Ninja and the Yamo are also vulnerable to the screen's dangers, but have infinite lives so they always return. If the player playing the Green Yamo is inactive for a certain time, the computer takes over. Later chambers include more hazards such as mines and moving walls, as well as a "comb-like" surface that has an electric spark racing along it. Skillful walking, climbing, ducking and jumping are required to negotiate them. On the twentieth screen, Lee finally faces the evil Fire Wizard.

Dispatch: China Factors in U.S.-South Korean Relations
July 22, 2010
The key to being a great chess player is to think ahead. True grandmasters think ahead not by just one or two steps, but a full game. The key to winning is determining the most likely moves of your opponent, among what seem at first glance to be hundreds of possibilities. The same can be said of finance. Knowing what to expect from key world players is critical to investing.
STRATFOR is an intelligence agency available to the public. If you want to know what to expect from different nations and leaders around the world, you read these guys. Founder George Friedman has developed a methodology for predictive intelligence that gives his readers a clear understanding of what to expect. While at first glance there seem to be dozens of options for nations and leaders, once you evaluate each option logically, it becomes easier to predict their actions. Today I'm including a video analysis, one of STRATFOR's many daily reports, that provides insight on what's next for the players in the Far East and their relationships to the United States. Click here to watch the video, and don't forget to sign up for their free weekly email reports and special offers.
Europe: The State of the Banking System
July 8, 2010
We're bombarded with information from the minute we wake up until the second we fall asleep. I was watching a news network last night for 45 minutes and the exact stories started coming back around. Nothing new to report, but the same topics on repeat, with the rare nominal development.
When I need something different (and relevant to me), I go to STRATFOR.com. They provide deep insight and explanation of events the networks can't begin to tackle. Today I'm including an extensive article on the banking situation in Europe. Enjoy, and sign up for their free email list to receive weekly reports and special offers.
U.S.: The Afghanistan Strategy After McChrystal
June 24, 2010
While the U.S. was celebrating its World Cup victory over Algeria, another struggle was playing out in Washington that also grabbed the world's attention. In that instance, the loser was Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who was forced by the president to resign his command of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Since STRATFOR is more of an expert on geopolitics than the World Cup, I'm including an article from them on the current Gen. McChrystal shake-up. It's an example of the kind of behind-the-scenes intelligence reporting that makes them famous. Give it a read and visit their site to learn more and sign up to receive their free weekly reports.
Flotillas and the Wars of Public Opinion
June 3, 2010
This week, we've seen a barrage of news and opinion pieces on Israel's attack on the Turkish aid flotilla headed for the Gaza strip. In the midst of myriad media discussions concerning the moral and strategic angles, my friend George Friedman from STRATFOR brings up an interesting point: "[The Israelis] seem to think that the issue is whose logic is correct. But the issue actually is, whose logic will be heard?"
George puts the entire situation into the perspective of a war of public perception, which gives us a much more accurate idea of what may come of all of this. Give his article a read, and then join STRATFOR's free email list to receive more intelligence of this sort--they will keep you in the know like no one else can.
The Global Crisis of Legitimacy
May 6, 2010
From my friend George Friedman, founder & CEO of STRATFOR, here's my newest favorite quote concerning economic recessions: "Like forest fires, they are painful when they occur, yet without them, the forest could not survive. They impose discipline, punishing the reckless, rewarding the cautious." The thin line of where risky becomes reckless is something I'd like to focus us on today. No matter the risk-level of your portfolio, if you are reading this you are probably smart enough to know that when you play with fire you may get burned. You have to know how to look for smoke, or signs of a potential catastrophe, so you know not to grab the doorknob with both hands.
I'm including George's discussion of the contributing facets of a recession, its inevitability and the idea of risk. As if the title won't intrigue you to begin with, take my advice and give "The Global Crisis of Legitimacy" a read. STRATFOR uses its signature analytic approach to decipher today's issues, applying historical context ranging from Adam Smith to the Lehman Brothers. Also, join their mailing list to receive two weekly intelligence pieces, and find that fire before your next investment opportunity comes along.
The Making of a Greek Tragedy
April 26, 2010
Back and recovering from my Strategic Investment Conference this weekend (where I decided to give myself permission not to write my usual letter, but I promise I will be back at it this next Friday!) I have spent some time pondering what we learned. It was a fabulous conference. Lacy Hunt, Dr. Gary Shilling, David Rosenberg, Niall Ferguson, Paul McCulley, George Friedman, former Fed Senior Economist Jason Cummins (who is now Chief Economist for Brevan Howard, the largest European hedge fund, and who was quite impressive), Jon Sundt of Altegris, and your humble analyst were all in top form. I must admit with a little pride that I think this is the finest speaker lineup for ANY investment conference anywhere. We were given a lot to think about.
Let me give you a few key points as an intro to this week's Outside the Box. First, there is a bubble building and it is in sovereign debt. It threatens to be a worse bubble than subprime or the credit crisis. Second, at one panel where we were asked what is our main worry, Paul McCulley said "Europe," which triggered an intense discussion, both in the panel and later that night over dinner. I agreed, of course, as I have written that very thing.
Both Paul and Niall think the consequences of a euro breakup could be severe, not only for Europe but for the world. I agree. That is why I have focused so much space in my writing and in Outside the Box on the European and especially the Greek situation. Everyone is hopeful that a major breakup can be avoided, but the problems the Mediterranean countries face are serious. I got the sense that most everyone expects the euro to fall further over the coming years.
In my opinion, there is little hope that Greece can resolve its fiscal crisis in a way that is less than draconian. I see almost no way out without a default of some kind. There will be band-aids and other measures to postpone the day of reckoning, but not to avoid it. They have just gone too far down a road of bad decisions.
Today we look at two short essays on Greece, one from Stratfor (George Friedman was in rare form this weekend) and the other from my friends Eric Sprott and David Franklin of Sprott Asset Management. Sprott gives us some details on a brewing Greek banking crisis and then closes with some thoughts on sovereign debt. He throws this little bon mot at us:
" ... [the US Government Accounting Office] goes on to state, however, that using reasonable assumptions, 'roughly 93 cents of every dollar of federal revenue will be spent on the major entitlement programs and net interest costs by 2020.'"
That is an example of the economic truism that if something can't happen, then it won't. Long before we get to 2020, massive change will be forced upon the US. The question is, do we do it willingly or do we become Greece?
And before I turn you over to the capable hands of Stratfor and Sprott, I have to end with what I think was the best one-liner of the conference (and there were so many). Paul McCulley noted that the debt crisis (the shadow banking system, subprime mortgages, SIVs, etc.) was the equivalent of an under-age drinking party with the rating agencies handing out fake IDs.
Have a good week. (And a special thanks to Lee Stein and David Malcolm for being so generous with their homes and wine cellars, respectively.)

Ecuador: Correa's Play for Greater Influence in the Oil Sector
April 22, 2010
Today I'm sending you a piece on Ecuador's recent move to change the terms of its contracts with oil investors to keep more of the returns in the state. As we watch the world's energy market, political details like this are essential to know. The article explores the geopolitical implications of the move and the how key investors are likely to react.
This is nothing short of the real world with real consequences on the amount the meter reads to fill up your gasoline tank, your investments abroad and the overall worth of those dollar bills in your wallet right now. You don't get this kind of information on your typical media news networks. The truth is, this event is one you may not have heard about - not only do you have to keep your ears to the ground, you've got to know where to look.
For all things under the radar and overly important, my source is STRATFOR. They provide in-depth intelligence for those that need to know. Read their article, and join their email list to get weekly reports and special discounts on memberships.
Mexico and the Failed State Revisited
April 8, 2010
The United States' southern neighbors have always held a special interest for explorers. In particular Sir Walter Raleigh and his ill-fated quest for El Dorado comes to mind (I'm sure we can all relate). Modern day explorers, also known as investors, are still looking for the best place to stake their resources in search of riches. Thankfully, we have considerably more information at our disposal than a treasure map. But how do we know when X marks the spot, or if it's just another faulty lead?
Intelligence, not just mass-produced information, is the key. For my global intelligence, I turn to the experts at STRATFOR. In this edition of "Outside the Box", I've included a STRATFOR analysis on the situation in Mexico. It evaluates the drug wars in terms of the U.S. and Mexican economies. Give it a read and sign up for their free reports. You'll soon understand the value in intelligence, not just news.
Brazil, Iran: A Troublesome Relationship for the U.S.
March 4, 2010
World economies I get: currency, trading, deficits, surpluses... World politics is another story. I follow what happens: summits, policy changes, elections: but what does it mean for energy markets, potential threats, actual relations between countries? These situations define our future - financial and otherwise.
Today I'm sending you a piece from STRATFOR on the relationship between Iran and Brazil - and what it means for energy, trade, U.S. sanctions, and this rising power in the South. STRATFOR is my go-to source for all things geopolitical. The great thing about it is that it's not just available to government agencies, Fortune 500 corporations and financial advisers such as myself. Rather, you too can access their content. Sign up here for STRATFOR's free weekly intelligence reports. I highly recommend it for investors at any level.
A Defensive Buildup in the Gulf
February 4, 2010
Sometimes when I read a newspaper article, it strikes me as a "He said, she said" game. If I'm going to make an informed decision, I need analysis - not opinions from two sides, each with their own motive. You can find quotes from "experts" anywhere, but they usually don't offer much insight, except into the agenda of the person quoted. For deeper insight, I turn to my friend George Friedman at STRATFOR. STRATFOR publishes intelligence, not news. No journalists, no politicians - just analysts.
I'm sending you a peek at the type of intelligence they provide for decision-makers like you and me. Enjoy the read, notice the difference and visit their site to sign up to get your own free articles.
China: Lending Restrictions and Beijing's Predicament
January 21, 2010
China has long been a mystery to foreign investors. Deeply involved in trade and commerce since the ancient days of the Silk Road, China has continued to maintain the appearance of closed economic borders and, even past these hardened gates, undeniable risk. Like any investor, you've probably been tempted to look at the prospects, and you've probably been met with a barricade of warnings about corruption and internal strife that quickly bounces you away. In the case of this sleeping dragon, knowing isn't half the battle, the battle is in knowing.
I want to share with you my source for what is really going on globally - I get it from my friends at STRATFOR. They've got a unique way of measuring past events and analyzing geopolitical foundations to project the future. It's not investment advice - it's the geopolitical information you need to understand a region before you evaluate any investment opportunities.
This week I'm including an article with STRATFOR's take on recent developments in Chinese banking restructuring. Give it a read and sign up for their free intelligence reports here.
The Year Ahead for Russia
January 7, 2010
To continue with a week of global forecasts, today I'm sending you STRATFOR's assessment of the year ahead for Russia. As I said earlier, we need to think of the world at large and how global events will affect us. Russia represents a huge piece of that puzzle.
Islamist Militants and the American Connection
December 17, 2009
Where do business and geopolitical boundaries meet? As we've seen with the recent coverage of terrorism suspect David Headley, Mumbai is one node – but the possibility for others is extensive. As investors, we take risks every day, and sometimes it's not just our bank accounts but our safety.
Today I'm including a video from my friends at the Counterterrorism and Security division of STRATFOR, a global intelligence company whose content I highly recommend. In this video, we learn the dangers of international business. Deception, when done right, is hard to spot, so we've got to stay aware of some broader trends.

Obama's Plan and the Key Battleground
December 3, 2009
The hottest headline this week is President Obama's war in Afghanistan. After his speech Tuesday night, critics, pundits and beltway know-it-alls have been giving their two cents across the airways, printing presses and online. On issues such as this, I eliminate the noise and go straight to my favorite source of intelligence. In the article I'm sending, my friend, and STRATFOR CEO, George Friedman spells out the key to winning this war - and it's not a troop surge. U.S. forces and a U.S.-trained Afghan army will need solid intelligence to quash the Taliban.
We all need solid intelligence - from fighting wars to buying a house to creating an investment portfolio. Knowing what happened yesterday is useful, and you can get that information at any newsstand. Understanding what may happen tomorrow - whether it's a Taliban attack or a market crash - is priceless... and harder to find. Click here to sign up to receive STRATFOR's free weekly intelligence reports - and discover the benefits of understanding the global system of tomorrow.
Video Dispatch: Israel and Intrigue at the White House
November 12, 2009
The closed-door meeting is a prime indicator of unpredictability. It's one of the most difficult elements for even the most savvy investors to encounter and plan for - or against. Usually we know the preemptive measures we need to take in order to protect our assets, and even make a few dollars in auspicious instances. But what about the information we can't access?
Luckily, we have options. Today I'm including an excellent video from my friends at STRATFOR, a global intelligence company. They shed light on a closed-door meeting between the Obama administration and 3 top Israeli officials. When speculation is rampant, there's only one source I trust for reliable insight, and that's STRATFOR. I encourage you to watch this video. Also, sign up to get their two free weekly intelligence reports for more door-opening insights on critical issues.
A Crisis in the Kremlin
October 29, 2009
Earlier this week, I sent out a piece that talked about the dangers of ignoring the big picture - even for the "bottom up" investor. Every once in a while, we all have to step away from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, housing prices and other indicators to look at what's going to influence these factors in the long term.
Today I give you a video about Russia and how a plan to fix the economy might throw off the political balance of power. I regard Moscow's situation as a valuable lesson for our country - also in the throes of an economic crisis - and for investors affected by global markets. Click here to watch this great video by my friends at STRATFOR, a global intelligence company. You can also sign up to get free weekly intelligence from them, so you don't have to depend on my occasional mail-out.
Iran Sanctions (Special Series), Part 3
October 1, 2009
Recently I had a discussion with a colleague about university athletes. I was previously unaware that NCAA colleges set up guidance programs that develop the well-roundedness of student athletes. 'Life coaches' ensure that these individuals balance their rigorous athletic commitments with personal and academic accomplishments. I'm not judging your ability to run a mile or catch a football, but well-roundedness is an element to being successful - whatever your area may be.
To be a solid investor, it's important to consider a variety of markets, and you must be well-informed in a myriad of sectors. This is where having the best information comes in, and one of the better places for intelligence is STRATFOR. They offer a straightforward recipe of news about global affairs - causes, outcomes and what to expect next based on a rational, time-tested methodology.
I'm including a STRATFOR report that discusses the possibility of gasoline import sanctions against Iran. It's an absolute must-read for anyone interested in energy, foreign relations, Russia, the Middle East, etc. I'd encourage you to sign up for their free weekly reports here, so you aren't limited to what I send you on occasion. Begin (or continue) your journey to well-roundedness... Now, get to the line and practice your free throws.
A German Pre-Election Win and Lingering U.S. Tensions
September 17, 2009
You may not think that what happens in Kabul affects the sale of GM's Opel division -- but it's recognizing the connection between seemingly unrelated global events that puts you ahead of the game in investing. This week I'm sending you a video by my friends at STRATFOR. It links cars, jobs, German elections, and the situation in Afghanistan in a way that's truly insightful and informative.
Click here to watch this enlightening video. I've probably never mentioned it, but STRATFOR's founder George Friedman also has a free weekly intelligence report. I strongly suggest you sign up to receive it -- It's just the kind of unique global insight every 'outside the box' investor needs. Click here to get a mind-blowing Friedman analysis each week in your inbox. You'll enjoy it as much as I do.
Brazil: Reactions to a Proposed Energy Law
September 3, 2009
With the current financial crisis, we have to be even more astute in locating worthy investment opportunities. I've written lately about choices we're facing as a country – but we have choices as individuals as well: choices that demand solid insight to make well-informed decisions and recognize opportunities at a time when they're not as plentiful as they used to be. It's not enough to know what's happening on Capitol Hill or Wall Street, we must expand our investigations to a global perspective.
I'm including an article by my friends STRATFOR, a global intelligence company, about a proposed law in Brazil to regulate the country's massive deep-sea oil reserves, which could make it a major oil exporter. It's just one example of the kind of event you need to be aware of if you're at all interested in global energy and investment. I recommend that you browse through the rest of STRATFOR's material, and check out their special offer for my readers. They provide just the kind of exclusive global insight you need.
Iraq Endgame
August 20, 2009
As many of have heard, I had the pleasure of partaking in a weekend of fishing and intellectual jousting with some of today's most brilliant minds. We spoke of war, politics, and of course, the economy. Their interconnection seems somehow much clearer sitting on a Maine lake fishing for bass. This week I offer you an article that's key to understanding the U.S. role in Iraq. Futurologist and fellow aspiring fisherman George Friedman at STRATFOR lays out piece by piece U.S. options in the region. If your interests have anything to do with global energy markets -- and whose don't? -- it's enormously important that you grasp the relationships between various sectors in and around Iraq, and the possibilities moving forward.
Staying aware of geopolitical imperatives around the globe is crucial to any comprehensive investment portfolio. I encourage you to check out STRATFOR's Web site for whatever informs your investment area. Plus, my readers get a special membership rate.

Myanmar mending ties with USLast May, to mark its 100th birthday, the University of Hong Kong held a centenary dialogue via a video link with Myanmar's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, barely six months after her release from prolonged years of house arrest. As the only outside panelist invited by the university to take part, I was concerned that our questions ― or her answers ― might cause her to be incarcerated again. In the event, any concern was unwarranted. The lady ― as she is called by her supporters ― responded to questions in measured tones, showing a good grasp of geopolitical issues, never departing from her democratic principles and, at the same time, refusing to be goaded to take provocative positions vis-a-vis China. Six months later, Myanmar (Burma) is very much in the news again, with the country hosting Hillary Clinton, the first U.S. secretary of state to visit in over half a century. Now, Daw Suu is playing a key role as Washington looks to her for guidance as to whether President Thein Sein is sincere about economic and political reforms. While Myanmar, the second-largest country in Southeast Asia, is important in its own right, many analysts are observing the latest developments through the lens of Sino-American competition for influence in the region. Asked whether China's influence might suffer as a result of enhanced contact between the United States and Myanmar, a Chinese government spokesman responded that Beijing was "willing to see Myanmar strengthening contact and improving relations with Western countries so as to promote its stability and development." Similarly, Clinton asserted that the United States has "no concerns about Myanmar having good relations with China." In fact, she said, China is "a big neighbor that you have to figure out how to get along with." It is good that neither China nor the U.S. is opposed to Myanmar developing its relationship with the other because Myanmar should do what is in its own best interests rather than what other countries want. And Myanmar's leadership is evidently doing just that. The decision in September to cancel the $3.6 billion Chinese-backed Myitsone Dam, which came as a surprise to Beijing, was a sign that Naypyidaw ― the country's new capital ― was acting in Myanmar's, not China's, interests since 90 percent of the electricity to be generated was to be exported to China. Since the military junta handed power last March to an ostensibly civilian government under Thein Sein, a former general, the new government has instituted economic and political reforms, which have led to a thaw in relations with the United States. Myanmar is working to improve relations with its Southeast Asian neighbors as well. In fact, the country is now slated to chair the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2014. It is too early to talk of lifting American sanctions. As Clinton said, while "President Thein Sein has taken the first steps toward a long-awaited opening," much more needs to be done, including the release of political prisoners, an end to conflict with various ethnic groups, and the severance of military ties with North Korea. Myanmar's president has indicated his intention to continue with reforms, which have included allowing Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) to participate in parliamentary elections next year in which the lady herself will be a candidate. The day after Clinton's departure, he signed a law to allow peaceful demonstrations. Ironically, Western sanctions, imposed in the aftermath of the crushing of the pro-democracy movement in 1988, have had the effect of turning China into Myanmar's most important economic partner. The two countries have signed agreements for the construction of pipelines to bring crude oil and natural gas from southern Myanmar to China. In fact, Myanmar's recent actions indicate a desire to end its too-dependent relationship with China. However, Myanmar is also aware that China is its biggest neighbor with whom it shares a long border and so it is not about to provoke Beijing unnecessarily. At the recent East Asia Summit in Bali, Indonesia, Myanmar and Cambodia stood out as the only countries not to defy China, which had requested that the issue of the South China Sea not be raised at the meeting. Myanmar's understanding of practical realities is reflected in Suu Kyi's remarks last May. While the country's relations with Western countries will be a friendship based on shared values, she said, "our relationship with China will be the special one of neighbors."
