Rogue trader: bank admits losing billions
Thursday 24 January 2008
The second biggest bank in France today admitted it had lost 4.9 billion euros (£3.7bn) at the hands of a rogue trader in one of the biggest banking frauds in history.
Societe Generale claimed it had been the victim of an elaborate deception by an "irrational" trader, reportedly 31-year-old Frenchman Jerome Kerviel, based in the group's Paris office.
The bank, which has not confirmed the trader's identity, said he racked up hefty losses after gambling away billions of pounds on the direction of stock markets in a series of secret transactions.
The near-five billion euro fraud dwarfs the losses involved in the infamous "rogue trader" case in 1995, when Nick Leeson caused the collapse of Barings bank after costing the group around £800 million.
The scale of the loss suffered by Societe Generale appears to have been exaggerated by the extreme volatility seen in financial markets in recent weeks.
Market experts have also suggested the bank's efforts to unravel the trades could have been behind some of the unusually dramatic turbulence seen this week.
Societe Generale described its losses as "colossal", but said the fraud would not bring the bank to its knees.
The group discovered late last week that one of its traders had set up unauthorised and hidden trading positions last year and early this year.
The trader used his knowledge of the group's back office and security systems, gained while in a previous position, according to the bank.
Societe Generale said the trader had confessed to the "exceptional fraud" and was in the process of being dismissed, along with four or five managers.
However, the group said it had rejected chairman and chief executive Daniel Bouton's offer of resignation.
According to the Financial Times, Mr Kerviel was a junior on Societe Generale's futures desk, having joined the bank in 2000.
He reportedly worked for the group's back office function before being promoted two years ago to Societe Generale's Delta One trading desk.
It is understood that Societe Generale is unsure of the trader's current whereabouts and that he has yet to be formerly fired despite confessing to the fraud over the weekend.
Societe Generale said its loss - combined with £1.53 billion in relation to losses and write-downs linked to the US sub-prime mortgage market - will force it into a 5.5 billion euros (£4.1 billion) capital raising to boost its balance sheet.
But Societe Generale stressed it would still make net income for 2007 of between 600 million and 800 million euros (£448m to £597m) despite the fraud.
Societe Generale boss Mr Bouton said he believed the trader was acting alone.
He said: "I don't know the person and his motives are totally irrational.
"It doesn't seem that he was able to benefit from these colossal trades and directly he did not, that is for sure, although investigations will have to be carried out."
The group confirmed that four or five of the trader's managers had resigned after the discovery at the weekend.
Societe Generale said it was just "bad luck" that the fraud was discovered amid this week's market turbulence.
The unauthorised trades may even have returned gains if it had not been for the market losses, according to the group.
Mr Bouton said: "This is just bad luck, it's Murphy's Law. We discovered it at the same time as the markets plummeted.
"US markets went up last night and we were really unlucky, but we had to settle these positions as fast as we could and we did so during the three-day market crisis."
Mr Bouton dismissed similarities between the fall of Barings and its own fraud case.
"The future of the bank's activities has not been affected and as a result there's no macro-economic impact," he said.
The group also claimed that its compliance procedures were not at fault, adding that it had increased its back office workforce by 50% to around 2,000 staff last year.
But original rogue trader Mr Leeson said, speaking on BBC News 24, that he was surprised the banking system was still vulnerable to these scandals.
He said: "What shocked me was the size. I never for one moment thought it would get to this degree of magnitude, this degree of loss."
Investment banking audit expert Sandy Kumar, a partner at accounting giant Grant Thornton, also raised questions over the internal checks in place, which should pick up on any unauthorised trades on a daily basis.
He said: "Most banks have cases where traders have been naughty, but in the majority of cases it is managed internally and kept quiet. It is the sheer scale of this which is unusual."
"It suggested that the independent checks just weren't picking up on the trades," added Mr Kumar.
The Bank of France said there would be an inquiry by the Banking Commission, but declined to comment further.
The case comes less than six months after fellow French bank Credit Agricole unearthed unauthorised trading at its New York subsidiary, which cost the group 250 million euros (£187 million).
Societe Generale was founded more than 140 years ago and is France's second largest bank by market value behind BNP Paribas.
It has a London office employing more than 2,000 staff.
Only this month, the bank was named Equity Derivatives House of the Year by Risk magazine.
Martin Slaney, head of derivatives at GFT Global Markets, said it was "staggering" that 4.9 billion euros worth of losses could be concealed.
"I've certainly never seen anything like this scandal before.
"The market is suspicious that such big trades could be hidden and potentially that there is something more sinister at play."
Shares in Societe Generale dived 6% today on news of the fraud and sub-prime write-downs.
The stock has been under pressure in recent months and analysts are reported to believe that the fraud revelation may weaken its position further making the bank a potential takeover target.

"Awaiting Your Response"
by Amber "V" Moonstone 7/27/07
Anticipation and patience.
It is agony and joy at the same time.
Awaiting your response.
You keep me hanging on the edge
of reality and fantasy.
Awaiting your response.
I cannot think clearly,
I cannot sleep nor eat,
Awaiting your response.
Anticipating positive energy,
Being patient for the right moment
Awaiting your response.
Have I chosen well?
Are you clearly seeing me for me?
Awaiting your response.
Will you be positive and light?
Are you someone that is right?
Awaiting your response.
Do I trust my inner feelings?
Knowing how wrong I was before?
Awaiting your response.
All the past relationships surface,
allowing for some insecurities,
while Awaiting your response.
An alchemy card chosen,
telling me I can turn anything to gold,
while Awaiting your response.
Paralyzed with fear that you won't want me,
Dismissing this immediately,
while Awaiting your response.
Joyous jubilation,
You want me just as badly as I want you.
The waiting was worth the response!
author's notes:
patience is a virtue, faith is the key.
Peace, Love, and Light,
Amber "V" Moonstone

La Sonnambula: Wake up to a great soprano
Friday 04 November 2011
When Eglise Gutiérrez left her native Cuba to study singing in the US, her college assigned her her first role. It was Amina, heroine of Bellini's La Sonnambula (The Sleepwalker) – an enormously demanding bel canto lead. She virtually sleepwalked into it, having no idea what a challenge lay ahead. "Sometimes you are so naive and you don't realise," she laughs.
This week she is Amina again, this time at the Royal Opera House. It's an auspicious moment for a thrilling young soprano whose warm, supremely flexible voice has drawn comparisons with Joan Sutherland.
Gutiérrez started singing by accident. "I learned classical guitar as a teenager, and I liked rock and jazz, but I had no interest in opera," she says. "One day I was singing in the street, making fun of something, and my friend said to me, 'Oh my God, you've got an amazing voice – you have to sing opera'. I thought she was joking. Then, when I was about 17, I heard a CD of Maria Callas. I fell totally in love with opera because of her."
La Sonnambula remains a challenge, but is now a favourite too: "It's truly from the heart, really touching."
'La Sonnambula', Royal Opera House, London WC2 (020 7304 4000; www.roh.org.uk) to 18 November

The Black Hole Army of Sturm is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.211 billion Worms are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HQ. The average income tax rate is 28.6%.
The strong Sturmian economy, worth 439 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 60,914 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
Gun ownership is compulsory, the government seizes all major gold finds, Eagles deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Sturm's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is War.
Sturm is ranked 855th in Nugut and 108,652nd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.

Toronto Blue Jays bench coach DeMarlo Hale grabs 'good opportunity'
Veteran MLB coach was in running for managerial jobs before Blue Jays and John Gibbons came calling.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The seeds of DeMarlo Hale's decision to join the Blue Jays coaching staff were sown in 2010 when the 51-year-old Chicago native interviewed for the club's vacant managerial post.
Though he eventually lost that job to John Farrell, Hale says his meeting with GM Alex Anthopoulos, president Paul Beeston and other front-office staff left a lasting impression.
"There was a good feeling," Hale said Saturday at the Rogers Centre, where he was participating in an amateur baseball clinic as part of the Jays' Winter Tour. "I had a good feeling about where they wanted to go and the things they wanted to do."
Hale, who spent last season as the Baltimore Orioles' third-base coach, was hired as the Jays' bench coach in what was considered something of a coup for new manager John Gibbons. Not only was Hale part of the Orioles' magical playoff run under Buck Showalter last season, but he was also reported to be a candidate for several managerial posts, including the Jays.
Jays Winter Tour photo gallery
"I know my name was on some lists about potential managerial interviews and what have you . . . but there wasn't a lot of choices," Hale said. "I was on my way back to Baltimore as a third-base coach."
That was until Gibbons reached out with an offer to join his staff in late November.
Hale said he was familiar with Gibbons from their days managing against each other in the minor leagues in the mid-'90s. They also coached together in the Hawaiian winter league.
"I've always had a big respect for Gibby, and he reached out and I thought it was a good opportunity to join his staff."
Hale, who spent the past 12 seasons as a major-league coach including six as part of Terry Francona's staff in Boston, said the Jays' off-season acquisition of marquee players such as Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and Melky Cabrera did not factor into his decision to accept Gibbons' offer.
"It's good that we got those players that we got, no doubt, but we've still got some work to do," Hale said. "I've read . . . where you guys are projecting things. Well, you know what, that's good on paper, but the games are going to start and you have to perform."
Hale would not betray much in the way of baseball strategy or philosophy for the upcoming season, but he said one thing he won't have to worry about is motivating the players.
"You don't have to motivate these players when they look at that team on paper. (But) when you think about it, that's just on paper. You've got to produce between the lines and on a daily basis."

Kwikset has taken notice of our home security blog and have asked us to join their Kwikset SmartSquad to help educate homeowners about effective and proactive steps to help maintain the safety of their home and family.
We thought we'd start with five safety tips that everyone in your family should know.
1. Lock the Doors and Windows
This seems like a no brainer but it only takes a few moments for a burglar to jump your fence and see if your window or door is unlocked. It's much easier for them to find open doors or windows than to break into homes that are locked with deadbolts. Criminals always want to find the easy way in so don't help them too much.
2. Leave a Light On
Burglars will "case" locations and if you're gone and the lights are always off you are an easy target. Using timers are a great idea and if you are concerned about wasting energy then make sure you switch to an LED or CFL bulb.
3. Don't Neglect Landscaping
Houses with great curb appeal show that someone is usually there taking care of the property. Houses that sit empty often are better targets. Keep up your yard and your neighbors will also love you.
4. Know Your Neighbors
If you have neighbors you feel you can trust then offer to keep an eye on their house when they leave town and they will almost always return the favor.
5. Don't Talk to Strangers
There is no reason you should open your door to anyone selling anything. Don't worry about being nice, just talk to them through the door and offer very little if any information. Kindly say thanks but no thanks. A common practice now are criminals going door to door and checking on who is living there and what the situation is.
Disclosure: I am a member of the Kwikset-sponsored SmartSquad and and occasionally receive incentives to discuss issues related to home safety and security.

Great Value
Leigh from Wisconson – Verified Buyer
I ordered 4 of these stools. My husband is not the best at putting things together, but there were no complaints from him. He said they were pretty easy to put together. The only thing that I was not 100% happy with, was the color of the cushions. On the computer they appeared to be an ivory color, and when they arrived, they are a tannish-gray color. They still look nice, but they are not the color I thought they were going to be. Another thing, these do not appear to be wood bar stools, as they are really light. I don't mind that, because they are easier for my kids to push in and out from the breakfast bar. But just know that they are not solid wood. Other than that, the value is great. I shopped around for a long time for stools that not only looked nice, but also didn't break the bank. These bars stools were just what I was looking for.
Need stools for your kitchen counter, but on a tight budget?
Marlene from Chicago, IL – Verified Buyer
This counter stools are great! They are sold in sets of two, and they fit all the way under my kitchen counter. Feels nice when you sit back in them, however, I'll be upfront, as for the comfort of sitting for long periods of time (I use my laptop at the counter) I'm going to get a seat cushions for them-just so it'll make them more cushy to sit on. Best part about Wayfair? They Deliver Fast!! I've bought many items from them, and will continue to do so. Pros: Perfect when you live in a small apartment, and only have a counter in the kitchen, they fir all the way under. Cons: The seat cushion could be more "Cushy".
Pretty Good Purchase
Shenel from Chicago, IL – Verified Buyer
Overall, the chairs are great. I wanted the color shown on the picture (light brown). I ordered the cappuccino to go with the island. It's very dark, almost black. I love them. They are quite comfortable. Assembly wasn't bad once I figured out the lower side rails. I will be ordering 4 more to go with my table.
Nice looking but...
Smart Shopper from Virginia – Verified Buyer
Some mixup as to what i purchased since I purchased them as a clearance item. It sold them in pairs, but when I didn't receive my 2 pairs of counter stools, customer service informed me that when they are priced as clearance, they are usually priced as individual items instead of being sold in a pair even though it may describe as a pair. I was told it would be ok to assemble them, as the rest of the order would be on its way, but then told I had received all of my order. Customer service did compromise, but I wish I had just not assembled them and returned the 2 I got. Beware when you purchase a clearance item sold 'in a pair'. I have purchased from Wayfair many times, and this is the only time I have had any problems. I'm usually very happy with the value and quality of items I purchase here.
The picture describes this barstool completely!!
Shi from Columbus Grove, OH – Verified Buyer
I am TOTALLY satisfied with Wayfair and have already recommended them to my friends. We received them on a late Friday afternoon and in a half hour we had them both assembled! They are very well made. Very nice finish and upholstrey. Pros: Wonderful barstools, just as pictured! Cons: none
Derby 24" Barstool
Tawnie from buckeye, AZ – Verified Buyer
I looked everywhere for these to replace my existing identical barstools. I liked them so much I didn't want to switch to a different style. I wanted new ones since I had mine so long with young kids sitting at them to eat. Wayfair shipped them to me quickly. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
Bar Stools
LYNELLE from FORT RANSOM, ND – Verified Buyer
Chairs are easy to assemble and are sturdy. They are much more comfortable than our previous chairs. They are light weight. Micro-fiber seat and back are stylish and easy to wipe off. Great buy for the money!
Hartsel Bar Stools
Renette from Chicago, IL – Verified Buyer
Excellent quality, comfortable and worth the money. Purchased a total 4 bar stools to use at the kitchen island, the are perfect high and easy to keep clean. Assembly was easy and quick. Would definitely recommend these stools.
Great product...great price!
Amy from Wilmington, DE – Verified Buyer
Never purchased bar stools and am extremely happy with this choice. Color and height work perfectly in the space. The fabric on the seats is perfect and comfortable. Highly recommend these chairs.
Elegant and look very expensive
Eva L. from Euless, TX – Verified Buyer
The chairs went together very well no problem and everyone that saw them liked them and they look very classy Pros: Great buy Cons: No problems

There's this boy in my class and we were talking and I've liked him for a while, he told me he'd date me if I got bigger boobs!! I think boys fantasize too much on appearance then they do with personality (no offense to boys)

So, I've been texting this guy who I used to go to school with and we got really close. We never really got to hang out and so he gave up on me. I still have feelings for him? What do I do?!

I love guys and are so attracted to them but their brains just work different. I think a lot of guys may even feel peer pressure to say they like a girl only with big boobs, I am no where near big and get a lot of attention, more than I need. so it isnt my chest attracting them. I dont know why they do that. When we say we like a hot guy we kind of do the same thing with their body shape and type but because our chest size is so visible I think society makes it seem important. With guys all we really see in public is their abs and we all like hot abs. But some things are attractive thats why we see so many bra ads and infomercials and all that male enhancement stuff for a guy's down there area.

Trust me girl, you do not want a large chest. I'm 34c/d and it sucks! I feel like a walking sex object and its horrible! Guys look down my shirt when I speak to them and I wear baggy shirts and shapeless and not-so-cute things to draw the attention away, but it's really traumatic. I'm only in eighth grade and its disgusting. And girls like me- it's not your fault! It's the Media's fault for creating this image of women being just beauty objects and it shouldn't be our problem at our age to try and close of our objectification. It makes me so angry! (

You were reading in my seat the first time I saw you.
When I glanced at the seating chart
After walking into first-period English
On the first day of the first year of middle school,
I realized your mistake --
The chart was upside down,
And we were next to each other
With you on my right,
Not on my left.
"Excuse me,"
I said as politely as I could,
"I think you're in my seat."
You looked up at me,
Wide-eyed underneath a pair of glasses.
Your face turned red
As you gathered your things,
Mumbled an apology,
And climbed over my chair to get to yours.
You reached for your book
To continue reading,
But I asked for your name
Before I lost my chance.
I smiled at the sound of it --
Even now, sitting at my desk,
Putting off my homework as I write this,
I smile --
And I returned the name
As you returned my smile.
It brightened your eyes,
And it brightened my day.

Or so I thought she was.
She told me she's broken
Her white wings long gone.
I told her a demon
Would shy away from love.
She tells me
'Believe me
An angel I am not.
My wings are broken,
My father long gone."
I say she's still an angel
Who needs a bit of fixing.
She hits my heart
Calls me demon,
Calls the love unfair.
And I just smile,
Open my mouth and say
'You see,my love
Demons walk this earth.
We are dirty,unclean
Purity long gone.
But you're just an angel
Who fell because of love.
I just hope that my claws
Are enough for our love.'

No room in his mind
Its overfilled with her
His love for her is left untied
His every thought endlessly trying
To find out how she is perfect in every single way.
Her beauty is so bright
That there is no such thing as night.
She fills him with tremendous delight
She is the only one in the world for him.
He will do everything to her whim
She is the ying to his yang.
She is not his dream girl
Because his dream girl is obsolete to her
He can't stop
His brain feels as if its about to pop
Nothing else matters
As long as he can think and talk to her
Its as if she's a cancer
She's a cancer of love
If the world knew her
There would be an epidemic
She is an alcohol
Because He's drunk on love
She is the beautiful country girl

Through woven fabric
Soft skin in mine
Smile, the falling hopes of leaves
That tumble among the rush hour clouds
And I am reaching for the branches
But they can't take the weight
Of a heart that's trying not to break
Just one second, one forever more
(It's only a beginning, why now?)
And unbroken souls are laughing
Little, light, joyous sounds
Their feelings like lightning bolts
Under a calm sky
I wish that the electricity
Could kick start this heart
(I can I am I will love that laugh and it's almost right, we could be)
Your hand should be soft but it's suffocating
But the wind and the leaves whisper a promise of something
If I just jump high enough,
Try hard enough
(I can't I'm not I don't I'm wrong we won't)
So I smile like you laugh
And let the worries be swept away
With the rush hour clouds
That gather at the edges of the sky

Final night and day
... long run all the way back to Tignes and a fab last day of snowboarding.
So for the final night we took it easy and headed back to Alpaca. It's what you expect from a ski lodge, animal print throws, wooden walls and apparently there's a couple of wolfhounds in residence somewhere. Jonas brought his French friend Max who unwittingly provided our entertainment. His English was obviously better than ...
Blast from the past!
... Tom again on Thursday. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas, again. The link lifts over to Val D'Isere were closed until late in the day due to wind. I eventually ventured out and bumped into the boys who were building a kicker at the end of our road. It looked like a sure fire way to break myself, or my snowboard, so I met the girls for lunch instead and decided to spend my afternoon on ski's with them. Now I remember finding ...
Worst 1st days snowboarding - ever!
... guys I went out alone. I didn't make any friends, but I covered a lot of Tignes , La Daille, and Val D'Isere, the snow was beautiful and the sun was out. Found my favourite run, a little green/blue called Grand Pre which had easy access to some lovely off piste that I could do on my own. In fact I took that lift so many times the lifty knew me by name in the end.
Later in the afternoon I made the mistake of ignoring the 'caution, very difficult slope' sign ...

Rhode Island Rams Will Be A Tough Out in A-10 Next Year
First year head coach Dan Hurley has got some the basketball world noticing what he is doing in Kingston,Ri.
Hurley, who took over the Rams after former Head Coach Jim Baron was released, is creating excitement at the University of Rhode Island. He has the support of the athletic department and alumni to give him time to turn the program around. However, Hurley may not need as much time as the Rhode Island faithful may think.
Hurley and his staff are building a strong foundation at all levels at Rhode Island, which obviously includes recruiting. He has already brought in transfers that are practicing with the team, but are not eligible to play until next season: 6'8″ forward Gilvydas Biruta from the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, 6'3″ guard DeShon Minnis from the Texas Tech Red Raiders, 6'6″ forward Jarelle Reischel from the Rice Owls and 6'8″ forward Ifeanyi Onyakaba, who is at prep school, will all be on the Rams roster.
He also has speedy sophomore point guard, Mike Powell and freshman forward Jordan Hare, who both continue to improve on a daily basis.
Most importantly, they have the Atlantic 10's second-leading scorer, Xavier Munford, who is averaging 17.5 points per game. Munford is capable of making shots from anywhere on the and also under duress. He proved that again last night as he connected on a three-pointer with just 3.3 seconds remaining, as the Rams beat the Dayton Flyers.
It was the Rams first win in its last seven games, and only their second conference win. They also beat the St. Louis Billikens who are tied with VCU Rams for the A-10 lead.
Still, Rhode Island has been in lots of games and with some new transfers and a year under Hurley's system, the Rams will be a team to reckon with next season.

Inspired by the renowned network of hiking trails along the rugged hills of Los Angeles' renowned Griffith Park, this minimalist design is fashion-forward yet classic in its simplicity. Griffith Park is Thom Filicia's modern approach to the iconic chevron motif, and perhaps a nod to a zebra's stripes. This abstract pattern is masterfully hand-tufted with high-quality New Zealand wool. A rug pad is recommended to keep this foundation securely in place.

Advice from a Surrogate to Intended Parents
By SmartOneKym on November 12, 2012
BlogHer Original Post
I am a former gestational carrier. In 2006, I delivered a healthy baby boy to his parents. Unlike most other surrogates, I have also experienced a personal battle with infertility. Due to a diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), I needed fertility treatments to achieve each of my pregnancies.
Which means that while I have the perspective of a gestational carrier, I also have been an expectant mother after infertility. Being an expectant mother after infertility is an emotional blend of excitement and worry. Being an expectant mother via surrogacy adds in a unique layer of feelings and concerns.
Though using surrogacy as a pathway to parenthood is on a rise, there still aren't many readily-available resources to help guide expectant intended mothers through their joint pregnancy experience. Many surrogates and intended mothers have asked me for guidance throughout their surrogacy journeys.
This printable crib sheet answers some of the questions that I am most frequently asked by expectant intended mothers:
- How communication with your surrogate might change during pregnancy.
- Making heads or tails of your concerns and worries.
- Keeping lines of communication open without being overbearing.
- Developing a joint birth plan with your surrogate.
- Baby feeding options available to you as an intended mother.
- Adapting to new motherhood!
Download the whole crib sheet for expectant intended mothers via surrogacy.

Another venue realizes that music and art drive an economic engine in Livonia
hursday nights have been transformed for this typewriter and hopefully for all of Livonia.
It is jazz night at O'Malley's every Thursday starting at 7:00.
It is a place to go with music to enjoy, food to eat and company to meet.
This week is one that the typewriter has been waiting for with Bobby Streng Quintet, Featuring Beth Stalker.
Frank and Janice Grisa are working on a remodel with new entrance. But let's face it--that is cosmetic. The real change is in offering customers the opportunity to enjoy some soulful jazz, toe tapping blues, or some great saxophone.
This just shows me that music and art can drive an economic engine. See you tonight at O'Malley's. This is a long time coming and we need to take full advantage of it.
From a need to an idea to a solution to funding. Livonia Kids and Family.
Volunteerism makes it happen.
It started with a need at Emerson Jr. High School. It will never will never be a middle school to me.
Principal Ann Owen cared. Students had a need.
Chuck Dardas, Dennis Wright, Eric Ladwig responded. Livonia Rotary AM stood up to be counted.
By opening lines of communication between a neighborhood and the community a food bank was started. A Foundation,
Livonia Kids and Family
was created.
How simple is that. Hunger. Food. Support.
And out of all this the element of fun was added and the creation of the
Annual Kids and Family Golf Outing
moved from an idea stage to the implementation stage.
Eric Ladwig, Dennis Wright and Chuck Dardas
Last Sunday the links were filled with golfers having fun, raising money for the Kids and Family Fund, and reaching out letting the students at Emerson, along with the faculty and staff know that their hometown cared.
Sunday. The day of the 50th Anniversary of the Livonia Civic Chorus and the day of the 1st Livonia Kids and Family Golf Outing.
Livonia. 97,000 people with room to celebrate our successes while starting new traditions. You gotta love Livonia.
For the sake of excellence we must keep Perrinville Center open
The Joy of parents at the success of the
Early Childhood Center
The Concern of the parents as they join together to convince the school board to keep Perrinville open
The banking tour of Mike Babcock is over. He is packing his bags and leaving town.
The job search tour for Randy Liepa is underway. First the application to the State Board of Education and now the interview to serve as Superintendent of Wayne County RESA.
How are these similar?
Simple, both worked hard and left a legacy that will be debated and in some cases appreciated for years to come.
But the issue that should be addressed now is what happens when the architect of an existing system leaves before the job is done?
The Red Wings will hire a new coach and provide all the money necessary to refill the roster.
Livonia schools will hire a new coach only to find the money
necessary to refill the image is gone. The state of Michigan in taking over the schools now realizes that it has nearly $300 million more in tax revenue and will use it all for roads without looking at the needs of our schools.
Short term gain with continued long term pain.
As families look to move to Livonia our education system that values the diversity of our student population with a strong program at Perrinville enhances the marketability of Livonia.
But because of the refusal of the state to deal with the economic decline of our schools we are forced to take steps that can only decimate our hometown.
Our Board of Education should take back our school funding fight, refuse to close Perrinville, join with parents and sue the state until people wake up and demand that we want a return to local control.
Our City Council should unite with our school board and take the
position that the corridor between Middlebelt and Inkster is vital to the community, that the closing of a school will distract from the revitalization of a neighborhood in which candidates talk about assisting but turn their backs after the election.
Let's put the real dollar savings on the table from the closing of Perrinville and sit down to create a funding mechanism right here in Livonia. Show the state that when we have a need we can respond.
But we cannot support the architect of this plan moving on and leaving us with the implementation. I wish the superintendent well but finish the job first. Help us stand up and fight for what is right.
Keeping Perrinville open.
The typewriter talks with Livonia neighbors every day who know that we live in an amazing hometown. In part because of our commitment to the students attending Perrinville and the parents who have made it their extended family.
Candidate corner
Candidates have the opportunity to share information about their campaign, positions, policies, etc. Musings will run the information and share it with our readers, making no endorsements just providing an opportunity to let our readers know who you are and what you stand for.
Your vote is up to you. I'm not prepared to tell you how to vote. But I will suggest that this video from Scott Bahr is the type of messaging that is good for Livonia underscoring the positive campaigning we need.
Watch this and let me know what you think.

Snipes 2002 | Movie Watchlist
Though hardly Antonioni and entirely too long, this hip-hop driven reworking of BLOW-UP, written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Rich Murray, boasts spunk, imagination and a strong performance from Smallville's very talented Sam Jones III. Seventeen-year-old Erik Triggs (Jones) is what's known in the record business as a "sniper," a foot soldier in the industry's guerrilla marketing army, drafted to surreptitiously plaster promotional posters for upcoming releases all over the city. Erik works at Ill Wax, the hip-hop label owned and operated by the shady Bobby Starr (Dean Winters), and he's one of the most audacious snipers in Philadelphia; Erik even "sniped" the city's hallowed Museum of Art. He's also a huge fan of Ill Wax's rising star, Prolifik (Nelly), a former drug dealer who currently holds the number one slot on the rap chart with his single "Mind Games." But there are problems with the rapper's eagerly anticipated debut album, which Erik has been hyping all over town but Prolifik seems unable to finish, and Starr is beginning to feel the heat from local wiseguy Jonnie Marandino (Frank Vincent), who put up a cool million to fund the studio and is getting a little antsy about his investment. Hoping to swipe a little free studio time for his friend Malik (Mpho Kaoho), an aspiring rapper, Erik swipes the keys to the Ill Wax recording facility from Cheryl (Zoe Saldana), the label's marketing director. But once inside the studio, they're in for a nasty surprise: Not only has someone stolen the master tapes to Prolifik's album, they've snatched Prolifik himself, leaving two dead bodies in his place. The kids panic and run, but Malik leaves his bag behind; the next morning, a very pissed-off Starr pays Malik a visit and demands he hand over the tapes to what will surely be a massive hit record. Erik, meanwhile, realizes that he inadvertently captured the faces of the fleeing killers on his digital camera when he snapped a shot of Malik outside the studio. Knowing that it's only a matter of time before Starr tracks him down, Erik takes his camera to Cheryl for help in finding the killers and hopefully getting the tapes back. The whole snipes subculture is really more interesting than the standard wrong-man scenario that eventually takes precedence, and the longer the film runs and it runs about 20 minutes too long the more convoluted the plotting becomes. A little judicious editing would have helped a lot, but the talented cast matches the film's ambitions and compensates for its modest budget.
