U.S. durable goods orders rise in Nov
WASHINGTON, Dec 24 (Reuters) - New orders for long-lasting U.S. manufactured goods rose less than expected in November, held back by a drop in civilian aircraft orders, but surged after excluding transportation, a government report showed on Thursday.
The Commerce Department said durable goods orders rose 0.2 percent after falling by an unrevised 0.6 percent in October. Analysts polled by Reuters forecast orders rising 0.5 percent last month.
Jobless claims fall in latest week
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of workers filing new applications for jobless benefits fell last week to the lowest level in more than 15 months, according to government data on Thursday.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits fell by 28,000 to a seasonally adjusted 452,000 in the week ended December 19, from 480,000 in the prior week, the Labor Department said.
That was the lowest tally since the week of September 6, 2008, which was only days before the bankruptcy of investment bank Lehman Brothers ushered in a deeper recession.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected a more modest decline from the 480,000 reported for the prior week.
The number of people still filing for benefits after an initial week of aid also fell to about a 15 month low in the week ended December 12, to 5.076 million from the previous week's 5.203 million.
US commercial paper outstanding rises in week -Fed
NEW YORK, Dec 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. commercial paper market expanded in the latest week for the first week since mid-November, after a recent contraction amid concerns about a muted economic recovery, Federal Reserve data showed on Thursday.For the week ended Dec. 23, the size of the U.S. commercial paper market, a vital source of short-term funding for companies' daily operations, rose by $9.3 billion to $1.160 trillion outstanding from $1.150 trillion the previous week.

Japan's position is also deteriorating rapidly.
This nation has the highest debt to GDP in the world at over 200%. Japan is the world's second largest economy at 5 trillion dollars of GDP.
It's debt is over 10 trillion dollars. However, please keep this in mind:
most of the debt or 95% is owed to its own citizens. There is very little foreign debt on the books of Japan. It is for this reason that Japan continues
to try and stimulate Japan's economy out of deflation. They have been unsuccessful for over 20 years. Look at what their new prime minister is attempting to do:
By Mayumi Otsuma
Dec. 24 (Bloomberg) -- The Bank of Japan said "many" of its board members expressed readiness to act against financial- market volatility last month, before officials held an emergency meeting to address a surge in the yen.
"Many" agreed "the bank would maintain its stance of responding promptly to changes in the market situation," according to minutes of the bank's Nov. 19-20 meeting released in Tokyo today. The central bank "would adopt the most effective method for money-market operations that conformed to changes in financial markets," the report said.
The central bank unveiled a 10 trillion yen ($110 billion) fixed-rate lending facility in an emergency meeting on Dec. 1 to lower borrowing costs and counter the yen's advance to a 14-year high against the dollar. GovernorMasaaki Shirakawa has said the bank is ready to do more and can extend the lending program if the demand for cash jumps.
"The central bank's next option will probably be to provide abundant funds aggressively by utilizing the latest program," said Mari Iwashita, chief market economist at Nikko Cordial Securities Inc. in Tokyo. "Expanding the program will allow the bank to enhance the effect of its accommodative monetary policy."
The emergency meeting was prompted by the yen's advance to 84.83 on Nov. 27 and escalating warnings from Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama's government about prolonged declines in consumer prices. Shirakawa in October had announced plans to end some of its emergency lending programs.
Stimulus Package
Hatoyama unveiled a 7.2 trillion-yen stimulus package, his first since coming to office in September, a week after the BOJ's emergency gathering.
Commercial banks are utilizing the central bank's program of offering them three-month loans at 0.1 percent. In a Dec. 16 auction, lenders asked to borrow 8.5 times more than the amount offered. Deputy Prime Minister Naoto Kan said this month BOJ policies have helped the yen decline.
The board kept its benchmark overnight lending rate at 0.1 percent in a unanimous vote at the November gathering. Members said the bank would maintain an "extremely accommodative financial environment," the minutes showed.
Board members also discussed how the bank should express its view on deflation, according to the minutes. One person said the bank should be careful about using the word to ensure it doesn't hurt corporate and consumer sentiment. Shirakawa on Nov. 30 said the central bank agreed with the government's view that the economy is in "mild" deflation.
Doesn't Tolerate
The bank last week said it "does not tolerate a year-on- year rate of change in the CPI equal to or below zero percent." Policy makers consider prices are stable as long as they are in a positive range equal to or below 2 percent. Analysts said the stance may signal the bank is committed to keeping interest rates at 0.1 percent until prices rise.
A Cabinet Office official attending the meeting, who wasn't identified by name, called on the bank to recognize the risks of deflation, the minutes said. Government representatives attend policy board meetings, though they don't vote on policy decisions.
A "few" members said the central bank should clearly explain that persistent price declines are being driven by weak demand and that it is "essential" for business sentiment and consumer spending to drive growth in order to overcome deflation.

Treasury removes cap for Fannie and Freddie aid
By J.W. ELPHINSTONE, AP Real Estate Writer – Thu Dec 24, 5:36 pm ET
NEW YORK – The government has handed its ATM card to beleaguered mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The Treasury Department said Thursday it removed the $400 billion financial cap on the money it will provide to keep the companies afloat. Already, taxpayers have shelled out $111 billion to the pair, and a senior Treasury official said losses are not expected to exceed the government's estimate this summer of $170 billion over 10 years.
Treasury Department officials said it will now use a flexible formula to ensure the two agencies can stand behind the billions of dollars in mortgage-backed securities they sell to investors. Under the formula, financial support would increase according to how much each firm loses in a quarter. The cap in place at the end of 2012 would apply thereafter.
By making the change before year-end, Treasury sidestepped the need for an OK from a bailout-weary Congress.
While most analysts say the companies are unlikely to use the full $400 billion, Treasury officials said they decided to lift the caps to eliminate any uncertainty among investors about the government's commitments. But the timing of the announcement on a traditionally slow news day raised eyebrows.
Eric Sprott released a terrific commentary on the usa purchase of their own bonds:
the site is; http://www.sprott.com/Docs/MarketsataGlance/12_2009_MAAG.pdf
I urge you all to read this paper in its entirety.
Sprott is also going to issue a new security in competition with the GLD, with only one difference.
The gold is real and you can take it out at any time. The share issue is 650 million dollars and the shares will
be listed on the NYSE and Toronto Stock Exchange. Each share will represent 1/10 0z of gold.
The big difference will be that any shareholder can cash his shares for real gold.
The dominate position of GLD will be be jeopardy.
The gold will be housed at the Bank of Nova Scotia.
Here is another story that come my attention: it looks like there is going to be some court action against
Goldman Sachs et al for selling investors the CDO's and then betting against the securities they hyped:
Jim Sinclair's Commentary
I asked some knowledgeable people on this subject, who were the jerks that are the clients?
The answer shocked me – PENSION FUNDS.
Banks bet against clients and won.
SEC and Finra are reportedly investigating whether Wall Street investment banks deliberately sold risky securities (CDOs) to clients, and then bet on the securities failing. Probes are still in early stages, but in some cases the securities appear to have been deliberately stuffed with particularly risky mortgages in order to perform poorly if the housing market tanked. Goldman Sachs (GS), one of the firms fingered, has already responded to the NY Times report, saying, "The buyers of synthetic mortgage CDOs were large, sophisticated investors. These investors had significant in-house research staff to analyze portfolios and structures and to suggest modifications. They did not rely upon the issuing banks in making their investment decisions."
and Gretchen Morganson commented on this in the New York Times yesterday
Banks bundled bad debt, bet against it, and won

The New York Times
Thursday, December 24, 2009
In late October 2007, as the financial markets were starting to come unglued, a Goldman Sachs trader, Jonathan M. Egol, received very good news. At 37, he was named a managing director at the firm.
Mr. Egol, a Princeton graduate, had risen to prominence inside the bank by creating mortgage-related securities, named Abacus, that were at first intended to protect Goldman from investment losses if the housing market collapsed. As the market soured, Goldman created even more of these securities, enabling it to pocket huge profits.
Goldman's own clients who bought them, however, were less fortunate.
Pension funds and insurance companies lost billions of dollars on securities that they believed were solid investments, according to former Goldman employees with direct knowledge of the deals who asked not to be identified because they have confidentiality agreements with the firm.
Goldman was not the only firm that peddled these complex securities -- known as synthetic collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs -- and then made financial bets against them, called selling short in Wall Street parlance. Others that created similar securities and then bet they would fail, according to Wall Street traders, include Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley, as well as smaller firms like Tricadia Inc., an investment company whose parent firm was overseen by Lewis A. Sachs, who this year became a special counselor to Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner.
How these disastrously performing securities were devised is now the subject of scrutiny by investigators in Congress, at the Securities and Exchange Commission, and at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Wall Street's self-regulatory organization, according to people briefed on the investigations. Those involved with the inquiries declined to comment…
I want to leave you with this article by Porter Stansberry/
It originated from this major piece from the S and A Digest:
The Bankruptcy of the United States
By Porter Stansberry
From the November 23, 2009, S&A Digest
This Little-Known Rule Could Send Gold to $10,000
This Little-Known Rule Could Send Gold to $10,000
It's one of those numbers that's so unbelievable you have to actually think about it for a while...
Within the next 12 months, the U.S. Treasury will have to refinance $2 trillion in short-term debt. And that's not counting any additional deficit spending, which is estimated to be around $1.5 trillion.
Put the two numbers together. Then ask yourself, how in the world can the Treasury borrow $3.5 trillion in only one year? That's an amount equal to nearly 30% of our entire GDP. And we're the world's biggest economy. Where will the money come from?
How did we end up with so much short-term debt? Like most entities that have far too much debt – whether subprime borrowers, GM, Fannie, or GE – the U.S. Treasury has tried to minimize its interest burden by borrowing for short durations and then "rolling over" the loans when they come due. As they say on Wall Street, "a rolling debt collects no moss."
What they mean is, as long as you can extend the debt, you have no problem. Unfortunately, that leads folks to take on ever greater amounts of debt... at ever shorter durations... at ever lower interest rates. Sooner or later, the creditors wake up and ask themselves: What are the chances I will ever actually be repaid? And that's when the trouble starts. Interest rates go up dramatically. Funding costs soar. The party is over. Bankruptcy is next.
When governments go bankrupt, it's called a "default." Currency speculators figured out how to accurately predict when a country would default. Two well-known economists – Alan Greenspan and Pablo Guidotti – published the secret formula in a 1999 academic paper. The formula is called the Greenspan-Guidotti rule.
The rule states: To avoid a default, countries should maintain hard currency reserves equal to at least 100% of their short-term foreign debt maturities. The world's largest money-management firm, PIMCO, explains the rule this way: "The minimum benchmark of reserves equal to at least 100% of short-term external debt is known as the Greenspan-Guidotti rule. Greenspan-Guidotti is perhaps the single concept of reserve adequacy that has the most adherents and empirical support."
The principle behind the rule is simple. If you can't pay off all of your foreign debts in the next 12 months, you're a terrible credit risk. Speculators are going to target your bonds and your currency, making it impossible to refinance your debts. A default is assured.
So how does America rank on the Greenspan-Guidotti scale? It's a guaranteed default.
The U.S. holds gold, oil, and foreign currency in reserve. It has 8,133.5 metric tonnes of gold (it is the world's largest holder). At current dollar values, it's worth around $300 billion. The U.S. strategic petroleum reserve shows a current total position of 725 million barrels. At current dollar prices, that's roughly $58 billion worth of oil. And according to the IMF, the U.S. has $136 billion in foreign currency reserves. So altogether... that's around $500 billion of reserves. Our short-term foreign debts are far bigger.
According to the U.S. Treasury, $2 trillion worth of debt will mature in the next 12 months. So looking only at short-term debt, we know the Treasury will have to finance at least $2 trillion worth of maturing debt in the next 12 months. That might not cause a crisis if we were still funding our national debt internally. But since 1985, we've been a net debtor to the world. Today, foreigners own 44% of all our debts, which means we owe foreign creditors at least $880 billion in the next 12 months – an amount far larger than our reserves.
Keep in mind, this only covers our existing debts. The Office of Management and Budget is predicting a $1.5 trillion budget deficit over the next year. That puts our total funding requirements on the order of $3.5 trillion over the next 12 months.
So... where will the money come from? Total domestic savings in the U.S. are only around $600 billion annually. Even if we all put every penny of our savings into U.S. Treasury debt, we're still going to come up nearly $3 trillion short. That's an annual funding requirement equal to roughly 40% of GDP.
Where is the money going to come from? From our foreign creditors? Not according to Greenspan-Guidotti. And not according to the Indian or Russian central banks, which have stopped buying Treasury bills and begun to buy enormous amounts of gold. The Indians bought 200 metric tonnes this month. Sources in Russia say the central bank there will double its gold reserves.
So where will the money come from? The printing press. The Federal Reserve has already monetized nearly $2 trillion worth of Treasury debt and mortgage debt. This weakens the value of the dollar and devalues our existing Treasury bonds. Sooner or later, our creditors will face a stark choice: Hold our bonds and continue to see the value diminish slowly, or try to escape to gold and see the value of their U.S. bonds plummet.
One thing they're not going to do is buy more of our debt. Which central banks will abandon the dollar next? Brazil, Korea, and Chile. These are the three largest central banks that own the least amount of gold. None owns even 1% of its total reserves in gold.
I examined these issues in much greater detail in the most recent issue of my newsletter, Porter Stansberry's Investment Advisory. Coincidentally, the New York Times repeated my warnings – nearly word for word – a few weeks ago. They didn't mention Greenspan-Guidotti, however... It's a real secret of international speculators.
My readers know that Greenspan-Guidotti means the U.S. is likely to have a severe currency crisis within the next two years. How high will gold go during this crisis? Nobody can say for sure. We've never been in the situation we are now. The numbers have never been so large and dangerous. But I wouldn't be surprised at all to see gold at $10,000 an ounce by 2012. Make sure you own some.
Good investing,
Porter Stansberry
As I pointed out to you on many occasions, the total receipts for the usa for the 2010 fiscal year is running around 2 trillion dollars. The total expenditures for on-balance sheet entries are running at a
4 trillion clip. The deficit thus is 2 trillion dollars that must be financed. This does not include the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war and other deemed one time or temporary entires which initself is ludicrous.
This off balance sheet expenditures is around 1.5 trillion dollars. The usa will need to fund 2.0 trillion deficit plus 1.5 trillion off balance stuff or 3.5 trillion dollars. As Porter Stansberry states:
where are on earth are they going to get this money? Answer: they are printing it...all of it.
Stay with gold..you will do just fine with it.
Have a great holiday weekend

Charleston, W.Va. • A chemical spill left the water for 300,000 people in and around West Virginia's capital city stained blue-green and smelling like licorice, with officials saying Friday it was unclear when it might be safe again to even take showers and do laundry.
Federal authorities began investigating how the foaming agent escaped a chemical plant and seeped into the Elk River. Just how much of the chemical leaked into the river was not yet known.

|Post a Comment
Officials are working with the company that makes the chemical to determine how much can be in the water without it posing harm to residents, said West Virginia American Water president Jeff McIntyre.
"We don't know that the water's not safe. But I can't say that it is safe," McIntyre said Friday. For now, there is no way to treat the tainted water aside from flushing the system until it's in low-enough concentrations to be safe, a process that could take days.
Officials and experts said the chemical, even in its most concentrated form, isn't deadly. However, people across nine counties were told they shouldn't even wash their clothes in affected water, as the compound can cause symptoms ranging from skin irritation and rashes to vomiting and diarrhea.
No more than six people have been brought into emergency rooms with symptoms that may stem from the chemical, and none was in serious or critical condition, said State Department of Health & Human Resources Secretary Karen L. Bowling.
The company where the leak occurred, Freedom Industries, discovered Thursday morning about 10:30 a.m. that the chemical was leaking from the bottom of a storage tank, said its president, Gary Southern. Southern said the company worked all day and through the night to remove the chemical from the site and take it elsewhere. Vacuum trucks were used to remove the chemical from the ground at the site.
"We have mitigated the risk, we believe, in terms of further material leaving this facility," he said.
Southern said he didn't think the chemical posed a public danger. He also said the company didn't know how much leaked.
He also said more than once that it had been a "long day" for him and others at the company. After six minutes, Southern attempted to leave the news conference but was asked more questions.
"Look guys. It has been an extremely long day," Southern said. "I have trouble talking at the moment. I would appreciate if we could wrap this thing up."
The news conference ended a few minutes after that.
State officials started investigating Thursday when people complained about an odor coming from near the company's river terminal. Inspectors found a leaking above-ground tank at the site just after 11 a.m. and realized that no one was trying to contain the spill, according to officials at the Department of Environmental Protection. The chemical was seeping through a containment dike, a backup intended to catch spills.
State environmental officials ordered the company late Friday to start removing chemicals from its 14 above-ground storage tanks within 24 hours. Authorities said the chemicals must be stored somewhere that has a working containment system. Within a day, the company must also submit a corrective action plan that includes steps to clean up contaminated soil and groundwater.
The spill brought West Virginia's most populous city and nearby areas to a virtual standstill, closing schools and offices and even forcing the Legislature to cancel its business for the day. Officials focused on getting water to people who needed it, particularly the elderly and disabled.
"If you are low on bottled water, don't panic because help is on the way," Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said at a news conference Friday afternoon. The governor said there was no shortage of bottled water, and that officials were working to get water to those who need it. At least one charity was collecting donations of bottled water, baby wipes, plastic utensils and other items for people unable to use tap water.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency also planned to deliver more than a million liters of water from nearby Maryland. Several companies were sending bottled water and other supplies, including Pepsi and the Coca-Cola Co., Tomblin said.
However, it appeared that some level of panic already had set in to some degree. At the Kroger grocery store in the shadow of a DuPont plant along the Kanawha River, people scrambled in the aisles to find bottled water, only to learn the store had been out since early Friday.
Robert Stiver was unable to find water at that store after trying at least a dozen others in the area and worried about how he'd make sure his cats had drinkable water. The water at his home had a blue tint and smelled like licorice, he said.
"I'm lucky. I can get out and look for water. But what about the elderly? They can't get out. They need someone to help them," he said.
That's what 59-year-old Dan Scott was doing: Taking care of his 81-year-old mother, Bonnie Wireman, and others in the area.Next Page >

Ten tips for being a better consumer in the new year
AUSTIN, Texas -- The start of a new year is a great time to resolve to be a smarter, safer consumer. Better Business Bureau has 10 resolutions for 2012 that can help you fight scammers, prevent identity theft and save money:
1. Always check out a business with BBB. Nearly 9,500 local businesses meet BBB standards and are qualified to use the BBB Accredited Business seal. Check with your BBB to find Business Reviews for more than 100,000 local businesses.
2. Get everything in writing. Do not just take a company's word for it. Get every verbal agreement in writing to limit miscommunication and misunderstandings later.
3. Always read the fine print. The details are always in the fine print. Take time to read through all contracts, paperwork and documents in their entirety before signing anything. This will ensure that you know what is expected and fully agree to what you're signing.
4. Be skeptical of "job offers" that promise easy money. With a high national unemployment rate, scammers are targeting people desperate to find a job. Beware of any job offer, work-at-home scheme or business opportunity that promises big money for little work and no experience.
5. Keep your computer safe. If you have not already done so, install anti-virus software on your computer and check regularly for software and operating system updates. Do not open attachments or click on links coming from unknown senders.
6. Never wire money to someone you do not know. Tracking money sent via MoneyGram or Western Union is extremely difficult, and once the money has been wired, it is nearly impossible to get it back.
7. Fight identity theft. Shred paper documents that include sensitive financial data and dispose of computers, cell phones and digital data safely. BBB offers tips and checklists on what to shred, and hosts a bi-annual Shred Day event to help you stay safe.
8. Ask your BBB for help. File a complaint with your BBB if you have a disagreement with a business or feel you have been victimized by a scammer.
9. Give wisely. Philanthropists donate to charities all year long. Whether donating your time, treasure or talent, ask questions and do your research to ensure your money is going where you think it is going.
10. Fight fake check fraud. Thanks to technology, scammers have the ability to create professional-looking phony checks. Educate yourself on the common types of check fraud and be extremely wary of checks that come with claims that you've won the lottery, are eligible for a government grant or have landed a job as a secret shopper.
To check the reliability of a company and find trustworthy businesses, visit bbb.org.
About Better Business Bureau:
BBB's mission is to be the leader in advancing marketplace trust. BBB accomplishes this mission by creating a community of trustworthy businesses, setting standards for marketplace trust, encouraging and supporting best practices, celebrating marketplace role models and denouncing substandard marketplace behavior.
Businesses that earn BBB Accreditation contractually agree and adhere to the organization's high standards of ethical business behavior. BBB is the preeminent resource to turn to for objective, unbiased information on businesses and charities.
Contact BBB serving Central, Coastal, Southwest Texas and the Permian Basin at (512) 445-4748.

A Spartanburg man was killed in a crash along Interstate 85 in Spartanburg County on Wednesday morning.
The crash happened about 9:50 a.m. on I-85 southbound near mile marker 62.5, south of U.S. Highway 29.
Lance Cpl. Bill Rhyne of the South Carolina Highway Patrol said a pedestrian, identified by the Spartanburg County Coroner's Office as 22-year-old William "Matthew" Smith, was outside of his vehicle when he was hit and killed.
Spartanburg County Coroner's investigator Dwayne Corn said Smith was trying to secure a motorcycle on the back of a pickup truck in which he was a passenger when he was struck by a tractor trailer.

Demolition crews were clearing debris Friday after a building in downtown Columbia suddenly collapsed Thursday night.
Firefighters and police were called about 7:15 p.m. when the building, which formerly housed Champion Shoe Repair, collapsed in the 800 block of South Main Street.
And even though no one was hurt, a lot of nearby business owners aren't happy about the situation.
The owner of Royal's Hair Fashion says she's been complaining about the building for years and said it was just a matter of time before it came tumbling down.
She didn't want to talk on camera but was told by officials Friday she would have to close down for the weekend until the building is completely demolished.
That demolition is an action that people on the square say is long overdue.
"It was roped off. They didn't want anyone on that sidewalk," said Mary Jernigan, who works directly across the street from the collapsed building.
Nearby store owners say they could see the bricks caving in before they left work Thursday, and some wouldn't park near the building for fear of its imminent collapse.
"The hair salon, they've been afraid - been worried about the building," Jernigan said.
"The windows started to buckle, then they started to break. We expected something to be done," said Joel Friddell, who owns a business on the same block as the collapsed building.
Royal's says they've asked city leaders for years to have things fixed, but nothing ever happened. Channel 4 News asked the city manager why they waited so long to take action.
"We had barricaded it off and were in the process of getting it condemned and having it torn down when we found out that there was a potential for some new owners who wanted to come in and do it, so we were going to come in and give them the chance to do it before we actually stepped in," said City Manager Tony Massey.
Those answers aren't enough for shop owners who will lose business in the next couple days, but they are thankful it wasn't worse.
"Everybody's lucky that it happened at 7:30 or so last night when there was nobody in there or around," Jernigan said.

GBMC has contacted patients by letter who received injectable hormones and injectable drugs used in eye surgery, Haile said.
Mercy Medical Center also said drug shortages played a role in its use of compounding pharmacies. The hospital said it is contacting patients who have received injectable medications produced by New England Compounding.
The FDA had released a list of medical facilities earlier this week, but took it down for accuracy reasons. The corrected list was released late Tuesday night. The regulatory agency said the list was taken from New England Compounding, so it might not be complete.
The list comes as regulators and investigators have raised more questions about issues at New England Compounding.
Massachusetts officials released a report this week that found the company released drugs before sterility tests came back, issued drugs without a prescription and, in general, did not follow proper sterilization guidelines.
A New England Compounding attorney said in a statement this week that it had a long-standing practice of working closely and cooperatively with the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
"Based on that history, it is hard to imagine that the Board has not been fully apprised of both the manner and scale of the company's operations," the statement read. "NECC's transparency in dealing with the Board since inception in 1998 demonstrates its good-faith intention to operate in compliance with the requirements of its license. Furthermore, the company's intention and best efforts at compliance are equally applicable in every other state in which it has been licensed."
Maryland facilities that received drugs from New England Compounding Center:
•Annapolis Surgery Center, 2629 Riva Road, Suite 106, Annapolis
•Anne Arundel Medical Center, 2001 Medical Parkway, Annapolis
•Atlantic General Hospital, 9733 Healthway Dr., Berlin
•Atlantic Plastic Surgery, 106 Milford St., Suite 305, Salisbury
•Baltimore Eye Surgical Center, 6231 N. Charles St., Baltimore
•Baltimore Pain Management, 9110 Philadelphia Road, Baltimore

SOMERTON, AZ - The only charter school in Somerton had something very special to celebrate this afternoon.
Somerton school and city officials held a ribbon cutting ceremony at their new facility.
The PPEP-TEC High School moved to a brand new location just across the street from their former location on the 200 block of Bingham Avenue.
"The biggest change is that more kids are coming in and its more packed so here is like bigger and we have more time," said one student.
The new school is just across the street from the old location but it's double the size.
"We were all tight and squeezed and now we feel like we can spread our wings and education is a little bit better because they have more time," said Gloria Rodriguez, lead teacher at PPEP-TEC.
School officials say it's quite an upgrade that will allow them to teach their students on a more intimate environment.
The old location did not have individual rooms but rather one huge room sectioned off.
"Over there they didn't have rooms separated so you can hear the other teachers teaching while you were doing something else," said another student.
But now, there are seven classrooms through out the facility.
And in addition to celebrating their new location, staff and faculty are happy to announce they are now providing a free lunch to their 130 as of two weeks ago.
"Back then we either buy something or we didn't eat."

Anybody have a spare radio shack voice Amp they want to part with. If not can you suggest another brand or suggestion to use with my hyperdyne board? I thought there was another smaller brand? AkerAiker?
Anybody have a spare radio shack voice Amp they want to part with. If not can you suggest another brand or suggestion to use with my hyperdyne board? I thought there was another smaller brand? AkerAiker?
I just ordered one form tk6294
Have not recived it yet but have heard good things about him and his stuff. He was very helpful to.
- - - Updated - - -
And it was a aker
I had never heard of them. Ok. Which one did you order? Also thanks to Calvincarter who PM'd me as well. I'll have to check these guys out. Anybody else deal with them? When did you order your amp?
Aker is the best ive used. There are some on e-bay now (direct sales from china) for cheaper than Jim from the Star garrison sells them.
Do a search on e-bay:
"10W Aker MR1506 Portable Loud Voice Booster Amplifier AMP Speaker for Coachers "
I got the 1505. 12w. I wanted the 16w but Jim said it might be to big to fit my costume . I found him on eBay and had pm'd him asking if he was 501st. He pm'd back saying he was and sent me his site. Again I've never used one so I'm hoping its good. I started a thread asking who had a good one and aker is the only responce I got. He shipped fri and tracking has it here in town today. I can let u know more about it tonight if u wish order from the site and if your 501st u get a little discount.
I was looking at the 1700 only because it has an MP3 player and I could also use this for Ackbar as well. It seems the same as the 1505 except for that.
I don't know much on it but the 1505 has 2 inputs. One for the mic and one for a mp3. Both can go through the speaker at the same time. Email Jim and he will tell u if /what will work with your hyperdime board. He responded quick to all my email questions.
I know a friend who pm'd me yesterday looking to sell an extra aker he has. I sent him a message. He may be getting in touch with you. I will find out what his tdh user name is so you can pm him.
He's DJM0072 on TDH....great guy, should give you a great price if he still has it.
I love it eyesonly . Little feedback with no lid on with volume all the way up. no feed back with lid on. Real clear to. Any bigger and it would have not fit in a pouch. So good call on Jim's part
Been driving the wife crazy using it here. Lol.
Only 4 days shipping time
I'll troop it Saturday . Will let u know if there's any problems with it.

May 16, 2011
In this week's edition of the Political Checklist, Gwen Ifill and David Chalian examine why, if the nation has hit its limit for borrowing, has there been no outcry from the markets or the political system? Gwen suggests that Wall Street is well-aware that Congress is known for making politics out of the debt ceiling increase, but always raises the limit before it is too late. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said he can take extra measures and ensure that the government can borrow until August 2.

"It's really important to me. It's all I care about, if they still have it. No questions asked."
Memories of her son's birth and childhood, stolen, as thieves make off with some irreplaceable family memories.
Amber Aldeguer and her family just moved to the valley -- and this is the welcome they get.
She and her husband recently moved to the valley from Anchorage, Alaska. Everything they owned was in storage. Thousands of dollars' worth of things were stolen, but it's only her son's baby book that she desperately wants back.
"What makes me emotional is things that aren't replaceable, his hospital bracelet, ultrasound pictures," she says.
In a quest for change, Amber Aldeguer and her family packed up and moved to the valley all the way from Anchorage, Alaska.
For a $3,000 fee, their belongings were shipped to Phoenix. All was put in storage at a Cube Smart off 43rd Avenue and McDowell.
"Shipped 60 boxes, less than 20 remain. I don't care about any of that stuff," she says.
Wednesday night, her husband realized most of their things are gone.
"Stuff rifled through, the packaging splattered around, he called me and told me storage unit was broken into. Heart stops, that's your whole life... first thing I asked him was, is Ky's baby book there?" she says.
Some $40,000 worth of things stolen -- but it's the memories taken that make her feel violated.
"My son's shadow box, the outfit he wore in the hospital, I had that hanging on the wall in Alaska," she says. "That meant nothing to them, it means the world to me."
Aldeguer thinks the lock on her storage unit was picked.
"Keep everything else, I just want my son's baby book back."
I called Cube Smart and was told the district manager would call me back. We're still waiting on a call.
Aldeguer says the storage company checks the locks twice a week and if anything is wrong, they call the renter. She never got a call.

What are other ways we can take an astonishing solution (livestock) to reverse climate change (once caused by that very solution)?
Allan Savory took the unthinkable idea of using the "problem" to solve the problem, using livestock to reverse the desertification once caused by the livestock itself. Is it possible to use fossil fuels to reverse greenhouse gasses? How about fertilizers to reduce water nitrification? Do you think these solutions are possible?

Mar 5 2013: Let's be clear on the difference between charcoal and coal.
If it's purification you're looking for.....
Take a looksee at what was accomplished with biochar on slag a few years ago. Turn slag into soil.
We have a lot of beetle kill and we need to capture that carbon before it goes back into the atmosphere with a big forest fire. A 5% biochar addition to mulch yielded exceptional results at the Hope mine (the youtube link). There was also an impressive study done for the Biosphere project where the air was purified using a "filter" of 3 cubic meters of dirt.
Mar 5 2013: I had never heard of biochar before, but it seems like a sustainable solution, tackling both soil fertility and carbon pollution. Is this a realistic solution to implement on a larger scale? The few research plots they are testing seem pretty small. Also, is this product available for homeowners to improve their lawn/garden fertility, while knowingly or unknowingly improving the environment at the same time?

Beautiful colour! Keep staring at my nails when wearing this! Easy to apply, and longlasting!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Gorgeous color. I love the glitter. :)
It can be a bit difficult to remove, but what do you expect of a glitter nail polish?
Like a lot of previous reviewers have stated, Ruby Pumps is indeed a very beautiful nail polish. It really does look like Dorothy's sparkly shoes! I am usually not fond of red nail polishes but this one is an exception. It's this rich crimson sparkling red color that's just so elegant.
This color is gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! A red based polish with red glitter. For starters, I am not much of a glitter wearing lady, (I prefer cremes), but this polish is one of my top 10 favorite polishes. I always get compliments when I wear this shade. Photos never do this shade any justice, it's so much prettier in person. I'm medium skin tone, so some reds could make me look orange, which I hate. But this red shade doesn't do that.
Since it is a glitter shade, the best way to remove this is by using 100 percent acetone. I hate using 100 percent acetone as it dries the skin. After I remove the polish I immediately apply a cuticle cream and hand cream as well. It's probably why I don't wear glitter shades as often. Since I don't, I don't mind the removal process.
I LOVE China Glaze's formula. Three coats of this gorgeous color over Seche Ridge Filling bast coat and topped off with Seche Vite. All together last about a week before it begins to chip. It never gets thick in the bottle after so many uses. It has nail hardening properties. I love the brush. I will definitely be purchasing this again!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is the red i have been looking for. wow. looks so good on my toes and hands. and the formula lasted a full week without chipping. MUST HAVE! love it
This was my favorite red before i tried out the new big hair... big nails nail polish from the opi texas collection.
Its a deep red with red glitter. It's so glamorous. I feel very sophisticated when I have this color on.
It's very dupable though. Ive seen brands from nyc to orly makes a color just like this.
It's a very nice glittery red polish however it's nothing "omg I need this". Just imagine a red glittery polish and this is it. Nothing too special. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful color, just it's nothing to die for. Plus I hate China Glaze brushes! They're way too small and thin!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Awesome color... don't have much more to add than all that has been said, but just needed to share my love for this delicious, wonderfully sparkly polish!
This has got to be my favorite nail polish EVVEERRR. It takes a bit to get a good shade but after three coats, you get this stunning red colour. And it dries super fast unlike most other nail polishes I've tried. I'm always getting compliments when I wear this and I've lent my bottle to pretty much every Makeup-junkie friend I have. I definitely recommend this nail polish (:

Please understand that our technological policies are evolving and there will undoubtedly be changes to this Policy as we move forward.
You may expect that the content of e-mail messages you exchange with others is confidential because the College does not inspect e-mail content unless an investigative process is taking place. You should be aware, however, that e-mail messages are records that are subject to review with sufficient justification; they may be subject to legal investigation requests placed through proper channels.
Courts have ruled that e-mail records can be subpoenaed in some cases and the College's judicial system may determine that e-mail or other files are evidence that may be reviewed as part of the process. Under these circumstances, the privacy of your e-mail is not guaranteed. E-mail messages may be preserved as computer files on centrally-administered disks, so it is possible for people other than you to see them. In this sense, they are not private.
Faculty and staff can expect that e-mail messages are treated confidentially because the College does not monitor employees' e-mail transactions. However, e-mail messages are written records that could be subject to inspection. Courts have also ruled that e-mail records and information in electronic form can be subpoenaed in some cases. The College does not guarantee the privacy of e-mail.
When system problems occur, such as hardware or software failure or attacks by malicious users, the IT staff, who maintain the e-mail servers, are authorized to look at any information and any files on College computers that are necessary to solve the problems and to protect the systems and the information they contain. It is part of the system administrator's job to do this and to treat any information on the systems as confidential.
In addition to the authorized actions of the College's system administrator, e-mail can end up in the hands of computing staff if it was inaccurately addressed and if it could not be delivered. People also make small mistakes in addressing their e-mail so that private messages appear in the e-mailbox of someone other than the intended recipient.

|Taj Williams reflects on high school career
| More
Taj Williams' senior season didn't end in a state title, but he still says it was his best season yet. The 2013 wide receiver and his Lincoln (Tallahassee, FL) team fell to St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, FL) 41-25 in the 7A state title game, but Williams had 75 yards receiving and one touchdown on four receptions. He's been mysterious in his recruitment, but he's been talking to four lately.
Taj Williams says he'll take his first official visit to Louisville in January. He says he's also been talking to Florida State, Washington State, and Alabama. He talks about his high school career and the latest in his recruitment in the video below.

Via NESN:
Maria Sharapova has about a bajillion dollars in tennis tournament earnings and endorsement deals, but that hasn't stopped her from earning even more money in the always lucrative candy business.
Sharapova's candy line, the aptly named "Sugarpova," was released in August. She celebrated that release by playing beer pong with Jimmy Fallon, and her next celebration may need to include some champagne.
Bloomberg reports that the Sugarpova line has been wildly successful, despite investing little in advertising and despite a somewhat steep price tag on each bag of candy.
Bloomberg reports that the candy line is expected to sell 1 million bags in a year, with Sharapova earning up to $1.10 per bag, with the candy flying off the shelf at $5.99 per bag.
"We don't really have a big budget for marketing and advertisement," Sharapova said, according to Bloomberg. "So it's pretty incredible that the awareness that it has so far is where it is."
It's a savvy business move tapping into the gummy candy market, which is apparently worth $28 billion per year.
