The History of Homeopathy
Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) of Leipzig, Germany, created the practice of homeopathy. A medical doctor, Hahnemann did in-depth studies and wrote extensively on chemistry, pharmacology, and medicine. His study of arsenic, written in 1796, remains an authoritative text.
In 1790, Dr. Hahnemann began to question the accepted medical theories of the time. Cinchona officinalis, or Peruvian bark, had been the treatment of choice for malaria since 1700. Conventional medical thought attributed its beneficial action to its bitter and astringent properties. Hahnemann rejected this explanation. He observed that other plants and botanicals had even stronger astringency and greater bitterness, yet did nothing to relieve malaria. In an attempt to better understand how cinchona worked, he experimented by taking some himself. After taking the cinchona compound, Hahnemann promptly developed the symptoms of malaria.
This inspired him to further experimentation with many different plants, chemicals, and minerals. Hahnemann experimented first on himself, then on his family and friends. As his work continued, he noted the same remarkable effect again and again: Derivatives of certain extracts produced symptoms in the body similar to those produced by certain diseases. Pressing on with his experimentation, Hahnemann found that minute doses of extract actually produced the opposite effect. Instead of causing the symptoms of a particular disease, the well-diluted extract reversed the course of the disease. This led Hahnemann to his observation that "like cures like"-that is, a substance that causes a certain set of symptoms in a healthy person will, in minute doses, cure a sick person of those same symptoms. He called this phenomenon the Law of Similars.
Many of Hahnemann's colleagues argued against his practice of using himself as a guinea pig, prophesying dire consequences. But the doctor refused to heed their warnings, saying, "He knows with greatest certainty the things he has experienced in his own person." Through his experiments, Hahnemann learned that a minute dose of a substance would cause illness in a healthy person, but paradoxically effect a cure in a sick individual. For example, a remedy that caused fever, chills, and leg cramps in a healthy person would cure a sick person of similar fever, chills, and leg cramps when given in microdoses.
Homeopathy Today
Homeopathy is accepted as an effective form of medicine in many parts of the world today, including Great Britain, France, Germany, Greece, India, and South America. The British royal family has been under the care of homeopathic physicians since the time of Queen Victoria.
Homeopathy is a systematic and precise form of natural medicine that addresses both physical and emotional symptoms. This protocol recognizes that each person is unique and will have an individual disease pattern. The experimentation, documentation, indepth testing, and recording of the effects of homeopathic remedies did not end with Dr. Hahnemann. Diagnosis of a specific disease is not the primary concern when treating your child with homeopathics. Rather, the correct remedy is chosen according to the specific symptoms and emotions your child is experiencing.
Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body's vital force, enhancing its ability to heal itself. The "vital force" described by Hahnemann cannot be precisely identified. Even today's most technologically advanced medical detectives do not really understand the ways in which body and mind work together. A complex interrelationship between immune factors and regenerative biological systems, the essential life force locked within body and mind remains a mystery.
Homeopathic remedies work by, in effect, "turning on a switch" that affects both body and mind. Homeopathic compounds somehow send a healing and normalizing message throughout the body. They spark unbalanced internal systems so that they are better able to perform their functions.
Working with a Homeopathic Physician
Remedies that may be appropriate for a variety of common childhood health problems are recommended in Part Two of this book. However, because the deeper concepts of homeopathy and the intricacies of the remedies can be difficult to master, you may find it helpful to consult a homeopathic physician. Often, a homeopathic physician can determine a constitutional remedy for your child that will help to balance her entire system.
Homeopathy is on the upswing in the United States. Many different types of health care practitioners use homeopathy. You'll find medical doctors, naturopathic physicians, acupuncturists, herbalists, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and laypeople who are knowledgeable in the field. Homeopathic pharmacies, even major health food stores, are other resources to explore. They may be able to tell you how to find a practicing homeopath in your area.
There are national organizations throughout the United States that can provide you with a list of homeopaths as welt If you can't readily find a homeopathic physician in your area, you may wish to contact the International Foundation for Homeopathy (2366 Eastlake Avenue E, Suite 301, Seattle, WA 98102-3366; telephone 206-324-8230); the National Center of Homeopathy (1500 Massachusetts Avenue NW, #42, Washington, DC 20005; telephone 202-223-6182); or the Homeopathic Educational Service (2124 Kittredge Street, Berkeley, CA 94704; telephone 415-649-0294).
When choosing a homeopath to care for your child, it is important to select a physician with whom you feel very comfortable. This doctor will question you closely, asking you to reveal very intimate information about your child, and quite possibly about yourself as well. Much of homeopathic diagnosis and treatment depends on your ability to observe and relate specific details, some of which may even seem absurd or irrelevant to you at first.
Your homeopath will want to explore both your and your child's emotional response to her condition, as well as symptomatic details. For example, if your child has a drippy nose or is coughing up phlegm, your homeopath will want to know the color, smell, and consistency of the discharge. You will probably be asked if it is heavier in the morning or evening, after eating, or before eating.
Your homeopath will also consider your child's temperament and the way she responds emotionally to illness. Does your child want hugs and cuddles, or prefer to be left alone? Does your child become whiny and demanding when ill, or quiet and passive? Does she sleep a lot, or become restless and wakeful? Does she want the window open to admit cool, fresh air, or does your child feel chilly even snuggled under a cozy comforter?
How you respond to your sick child is something else your homeopath will ask you to reveal. When a child is ill, some parents become irritated and annoyed, some nervous and anxious. The very fortunate have a deep well of calm and certainty on which to draw. Be truthful when your doctor inquires about this. Emotional responses are not something you necessarily control consciously. Faced with a hectic schedule, many parents have difficulty mustering up as much patience as they would like to comfort and nurture a sick child. All of the physical and emotional factors surrounding your child must be taken into account in determining the appropriate remedy. Because the emotional response of those around an ill child will unavoidably have an impact on her, your homeopathic physician may prescribe a helpful remedy for the primary caregiver as well.
Treating Your Child with Homeopathic Remedies
Of all the remedies commonly used in the various medical protocols, homeopathic remedies are unique in that they are symptom-specific. That is, the correct remedy is determined not by the disease, but by the specific complex of physical and emotional symptoms your child is experiencing. The choice of homeopathic remedies takes into consideration the temperament and emotional response of the patient, as well as the most minute details of her physical condition.
For example, the cold that infects your child and a neighbor's child may be caused by the same virus, but each child will exhibit a unique set of symptoms and emotions. One child may have a headache and a runny nose, feel completely exhausted, and want to eat when not napping. The other may be clogged and congested, feel restless, be unable to sleep, and refuse food. Consequently, these two children, although infected by the same virus, will require entirely different remedies.
Homeopathy respects the complexity and uniqueness of each individual. To identify the correct homeopathic remedy, you must carefully observe your child's unique-even quirky-behaviors and responses. Choosing the appropriate remedy requires a parent or homeopathic physician to match the child's symptoms, both obvious and subtle, with the remedy.
Based on your child's overall physical, emotional, and mental constitution, your homeopathic physician may prescribe a constitutional remedy. An appropriate constitutional remedy can help prevent illness, as well as maintain and support optimal health. For example, if your child is subject to recurrent ear and nose infections, colic, allergies, or digestive disorders, a constitutional homeopathic remedy may be extremely helpful.
The correct constitutional remedy will help strengthen and stimulate the vital life force. Your child's response to the remedy will be at once subtle and profound, on the physical, emotional, and mental levels. Prescribing a constitutional remedy is a complicated art, however. To discover the most helpful constitutional remedy for your child, consult a homeopathic physician.
Common Homeopathic Remedies
Homeopathic remedies are prepared according to the standards of the United States Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia. All remedies are derived from naturally occurring plant, mineral, or chemical substances. Some of the most useful homeopathic remedies and their common indications are described in the table, "Common Homeopathic Remedies" below.
Homeopathic remedies come in different potencies. Of all of the issues in homeopathy, Dr. Hahnemann's concept of potency is probably the one that has evoked the most questions, because it seems somewhat paradoxical at first. In his experiments, Hahnemann noted that symptoms continued to improve with ever-increasing dilution of a substance. In other words, as the concentration of the medicinal substance is reduced by dilution, the remedy becomes increasingly potent. As yet, there is no satisfactory scientific explanation for this phenomenon. However, the astounding effectiveness of homeopathic treatment has been empirically documented around the world.
Commonly available homeopathic remedies come in several forms: the mother tincture, x potencies, and c potencies. Homeopathic tablets are made by mixing diluted remedies with lactose (milk sugar) to make solid pellets. There are also homeopathic creams, ointments, and salves, made by mixing diluted remedies with a cream or gel base.
Mother TinctureThe mother tincture is an alcohol-based extract of a specific substance, as it comes from the original plant, animal, or mineral. Mother tinctures are generally used topically or in a fashion similar to herbal tinctures.
X Potencies
In homeopathic remedies, the x (derived from the Roman numeral decimal system) represents 10. It indicates that the mother tincture has been diluted to one part in ten. The number preceding the x indicates how many times the remedy has been diluted. Thus, a 6x potency represents six such dilutions, beginning with the mother tincture. Remember that the more diluted a homeopathic remedy is, the more potent it is. So a 6x potency remedy, which has been diluted six times, is more potent than a 3x potency compound, which has been diluted only three times.

Gallery: Things We Like About Summer
Unlike the many complainers who constantly pollute the Internet with their anti-fun diatribes, I love summer. I love it so much, in fact, that I was only mildly peeved about living in a loft with no AC from the time I graduated college until the first of this month. (That's more than four years, for those keeping track at home.) And now that I have the ability to cool my dwelling, I love it even more wholeheartedly. Sure, it can feel like you're walking around inside someone's mouth at times, but how much better does that make the ocean breeze feel once you make it to the beach? It's with this in mind that I present you with some choice words from my colleagues and my own brain about this, the most controversial of seasons.[ITPGallery]

HILLSVILLE — Carroll County will consider trying to nip the stray animal population in the bud through the 2014 budget, supervisors discussed at their meeting Jan. 14.
Providing funds for a spay and neuter program could help save the locality money later, from the animal control officer not having to take so many animals to the shelter, Supervisor Bob Martin explained after the meeting.
Right now, Carroll spends a lot of money on animal control response, but little on prevention, he noted.

COMMERCE CITY CO (Tues. Aug. 21 2007) – The Colorado Rapids announced today that the club will make available a limited amount of standing room-only tickets for this Sunday's home match vs. the Los Angeles Galaxy at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Sunday's game marks the first time that the world's most famous athlete David Beckham is scheduled to appear on the pitch in Colorado.
Single seat tickets to Sunday's match vs. the Galaxy had originally sold out in less than 90 minutes when tickets went on sale to the public back in March.
Riding high atop a 2-game win streak after consecutive victories over both of the league's conference leaders the Colorado Rapids are scheduled to host David Beckham and the rest of the LA Galaxy this coming Sunday night August 26 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Kickoff is at 5:00pm MT and the game will be broadcast live on Altitude Sports & Entertainment.
The Rapids currently hold the #4 spot in the West on 24 points 10 points clear of the Galaxy who are holding down the #5 spot in the West on 14 points.
This will be the second of three meetings this year between the two clubs. In their last encounter the Rapids downed LA 1-0 on May 26 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. In that match the Rapids rode a Herculez Gomez goal and a Bouna Coundoul shutout to defeat the Galaxy in front of a sold-out then-record crowd of 18458 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
With their May win over LA the Rapids continued their dominance over their Western Conference rivals in the Centennial State; the Rapids are now 13-7-3 all-time vs. LA at home. They have kept the Galaxy without a regular-season win in Colorado in the last half-decade as Colorado haven't conceded a home loss to the Galaxy since 2002.

If you want some return on your investment, you shouldn't turn to Wall Street. You should buy a piece of the Bruins' free-agent defensemen. Two are headed to unrestricted free agency and one is going to be restricted.
Dennis Seidenberg, Johnny Boychuk and Mark Stuart all made strides this season and should be in line for healthy raises. Bottom line, the Bruins will be hard-pressed to keep all three, if they're so inclined. All three seem like perfect fits for head coach Claude Julien's defensive system, but that pesky salary cap always gets in the way.
As per the numbers at nhlnumbers.com, the Bruins have 12 players that spent the majority of the 2009-10 season in the NHL under contract for next season at a total of around $46 million. That leaves around $10 million to fill the roster with six forwards and two defensemen. When you add in the player Boston will draft at No. 2 (probably a forward), Boston would have around $9 million left for the seven extra players (depending on what happens with the bonus buffer that allows teams to keep players at their base salary and count bonuses toward the following season).
Here's a capsule look at the Bruins' scheduled free agents and the likelihood they'll be wearing black and gold again next winter:
Player, Pos., 2009-10 salary, Stock direction
Steve Begin, C/W, $850,000, Steady
Begin proved a prescient pickup for his toughness and penalty-killing ability. But it's not likely he'll be back because of the Bruins depth down the middle – when healty – and the need to promote from within. Boston's going to have to make way for Brad Marchand, Zach Hamill and others to ascend to the NHL. Trent Whitfield, who is under contract for next season after a cup of coffee in Boston this year, could also fill Begin's role.
Johnny Boychuk, D, $500,000, Rising
No player did more to earn himself a raise than Boychuk, who provided the Bruins with sound positional play and some game-changing open-ice hits while working next to Zdeno Chara against other teams' top lines after the Seidenberg injury. He's not going to break the bank, but he should be cracking seven figures this summer. I'd expect the Bruins wouldn't let a player they helped develop (after trading for him) to get away.
Mark Recchi, RW, $1 million, Rising
You can count on one hand the nights Recchi looked 42 on the ice, all the way until the bitter end of Boston's season. The reason his stock is rising is because teams like Pittsburgh, Washington and Philadelphia have to be looking at the future Hall-of-Famer as the type of player and leader every championship team needs. Considering even a slight raise would still make Recchi a bargain, Boston might have to do some bidding this summer. I think they'll do so, within reason, and should do all they can to make sure the de facto voice of the locker room stays in the fold.
Miroslav Satan, RW, $700,000, Rising
While Satan was little help to the Bruins as the Flyers series was slipping away, his contributions obviously were a huge boost to Boston's playoff push and first-round upset of Buffalo. For a guy that didn't sign until January, Satan exceeded expectations. However, the Bruins can only devote so many roster spots to inconsistent veterans (see Michael Ryder and the injured Marco Sturm). You factor the inconsistency in with the raise Satan's possibly due after sitting out half of this season and you figure he's a goner.
Dennis Seidenberg, D, $2.25 million, Rising
When the Bruins acquired Seidenberg from Florida at the trade deadline, general manager Peter Chiarelli spoke at the podium and sounded more like the blueliner's agent than a member of team management. Chiarelli described all the improvements Seidenberg had made since his time as a free agent last summer and how he would be a legit No. 2 defenseman in Boston. Well, Seidenberg played up to those accolades at both ends of the ice – and now if the Bruins want to keep him their going to have to pay. Seidenberg's contract will probably fall in the $3-3.5 million area (after Ottawa's Anton Volchenkov sets the bar for this type of defenseman) and Boston would definitely have to move a body or two to keep Seidenberg in the fold.
Shawn Thornton, RW, $550,000, Steady
Thornton is what he is, and because he's just a nose-to-the-grindstone worker bee with toughness and experience, he might be expendable. But before the Bruins let Thornton walk, they'll have to think long and hard about how they're going to fill in that second layer of leadership below captain Zdeno Chara and alternate Patrice Bergeron. With two quiet captains that do their leading with their actions more than words, players like Thornton become all the more valuable. That he might be willing to return for the same money to stay in the city he has grown to love for a couple more years might give Boston a better opportunity to retain him — which would be wise
Daniel Paille, LW, $1.35 million, Steady
We now know why Paille found his way into Lindy Ruff's doghouse in Buffalo. Sometimes he could disappear in a game where special teams weren't a factor, and he could never find a finishing touch despite tons of chances. Nonetheless, he's the type of versatile, speedy, disciplined player (not to mention a key to one of the league's best PK units) Julien likes to have around and I would expect Boston could keep him around for a couple more years at a little less than he made this season.
Vladimir Sobotka, C/LW, $625,000, Steady
There are flashes of a solid third-line center that emerge some nights, and then you wonder after some games whether Sobotka was even on the ice. His obvious desire to play only center (as shown by his production, as opposed to his words) might make him tough to keep around even if he doesn't want much more in terms of compensation. Sobotka might be the perfect guy to deal for a similar-aged depth defenseman.
Mark Stuart, D, $1.5 million, Rising
When organizations draft players and draw up a development path, they expect those players to follow that course the way Stuart has. He was playing his best hockey before the freak accident that broke his finger and led to the infection that kept him out of the lineup until the second round of the playoffs. If you figure Stuart can still improve his shutdown abilities and his contributions on offense, he might be a better signing for the long term than even Seidenberg. Stuart is also another member of that second tier of leadership that Boston needs, so I would expect Chiarelli to keep him in the mix at a price tag a little north of the $2.25 million the GM gave Andrew Ference in the spring.
Blake Wheeler, LW/RW, $875,000, Falling
Depending on how much Wheeler and his rep think he's worth, this could be a dilemma for Chiarelli. His inability to hit the net with his shot, and go to the net when a linemate has the puck, far outweigh Wheeler's glimmers of scoring touch at this point in his career. That he's not a physical player at his size would be more acceptable if he could score like a poor man's Phil Kessel. While he's pretty coachable, you have to wonder if Wheeler will ever fit in under Julien's system and in front of the demanding Boston fans. Boston probably doesn't have time to wait to find out. Perhaps a trade for a future pick or prospect could help the Bruins free up some money for more immediate returns in free agency or via another trade.
It's worth also noting that defensemen Adam McQuaid and Andrew Bodnarchuk, and forward Mikko Lehtonen are also restricted free agents. I'd expect all three to re-sign for their qualifying offers. And goaltender Dany Sabourin is scheduled to be unrestricted. He might be a possibility to backup Tuukka Rask should Boston deal Tim Thomas.

An interesting test to see how many of these guys were "passports of convienience" would be to see whether they "went home" after retiring:
e.g. Tony Greig - chipped off overseas ASAP
Robin Smith - stayed with Hampshire, lives down there, helps run day to day operations, helped set up Chase cricket equipment
Chris Lewis - Firmly in Blighty at Her Majesty's Pleasure etc. etc.
How many off them return from whence they came? If they stick around in the UK, were they really playing for England out of convienience?

As Americans head into the annual holiday shopping orgy, it is a good time to explore how our excessive spending damages us. The ten busiest shopping days of the year are between the day after Thanksgiving and two days before Christmas.
From Thanksgiving to New Years many Americans binge and gorge themselves-on food, drinking, toys, gadgets, machines, and other objects. We consume precious resources like water and non-essentials as if they are infinite and there are no limits. The American Dream is excess-bigger cars, bigger houses, and bigger everything. Swimming pools, golf courses, pampered lawns and guzzling Hummers create a false illusion of prosperity beneath which a declining economy hides. But the hidden costs and limits to growth are catching up with us.
"War is too important to leave to the generals," I remember hearing as a young officer in the US Army during the l960s. "The economy is too important to leave to the economists" I have been thinking recently, as we experience the decline and possible fall of the US economy. Yet there is little analysis in the mass media about what is really happening to the US economy.
Professional economists writing in and quoted by the mainstream media tend to use mild words like "correction," "slowdown" and "troubled" to describe the increasingly volatile US economy. They often reassure us that we are just in a normal cycle. Denial persists, in spite of the gloomy outlook for the US dollar, debt, housing, banks, stocks, airlines, and other key economic indicators.
Our nation and many of its households have gross debts. People are spending beyond their means, buying on credit beyond what they can pay back, as the recent subprime mortgage fall reveals. "Pay as you go," the economist Scott Nearing used to say when I visited him at this farm in Maine during the l970s. We need to get back to this old-fashioned wisdom.
US Media Economists Conceal
US media economists are more eager to prop up a failing economy than to help us prepare for the ongoing deterioration and its multiple consequences. They seek to reduce fear so that people will continue to over-consume, buy, spend, and shop, rather than take direct actions as citizens that could address the underlying systemic problems. Our excessive spending habits are exhausting our human and environmental resources, such as fossil fuels and water. Our excesses come at high, hidden costs. Our over-consumption fuels the increasingly chaotic, extreme climate.
A good way to prepare for an uncertain economic future would be to refrain from excessive spending on holiday items. At least wait and see how things unfold in the weeks to come. Prices will drop drastically, not only for real estate. You won't read suggestions like this in the buy-now, sell-products corporate media, which makes money from advertising and hyper-consumption.
Reading the foreign press, which has fewer vested interests and can be more objective on the US, provides a wider view of the US economy. For example, an Associated Press article on Nov. 20 mentions in passing the important meeting of OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) the weekend before as follows: ""Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called for oil to be listed for sale in a currency other than the dollar." The AP assures readers that this "was widely viewed as little more than America-bashing."
In Europe this story got more attention with important details reported. London's authoritative daily Guardian noted that the call to abandon the US dollar was made in a private meeting that was not supposed to be made public. A technical mistake was made that broadcast half an hour of that meeting.
Saudia Arabia, a US ally, vetoed the proposal, warning "that even the mere mention to journalists of the fact that leaders were discussing the weak dollar would cause the US currency to plummet," reports the Nov. 18 Guardian. The US dollar has become so frail that the Guardian uses words like "battered" and "crippled" to describe it. "A further drop in the dollar is likely to be accompanied by a rise in oil prices," the Guardian concludes.
I do not mean to predict specifically what is going to happen with the US economy or when. I do want to note some of its fault lines and instability that could create a crash. Economic predictions are difficult to make with any real certainty. I do want to connect some of the dots and sound an alarm while people may still have time to make some changes in our own personal economies and make preparations to weather the fierce coming storms.
The Arlington Institute, however, specializes in predicting future events. Its CEO, John L. Petersen, sent out a report titled "Major Financial Disruption" on Nov. 14 which began, "It appears that the world in general and the United States in particular are on the edge of a major disruption in the global financial system." Consumer credit card foreclosures were up 470% in the third quarter and "will be up over 500% this coming quarter (4th)," according to the report. Since "as much as 40% of retail sales are done in the 4th quarter of the year," the predicted disruption may come soon. The Arlington Institute reports the "effort by China to convert its $1.4 trillion U.S. Treasury holdings into euros." The prediction is that "they'll dump them on the market" in February. It concludes, "March is when we realize that the dollar doesn't come back."
A Russian Compares the USA & USSR Economies
An article at www.energybulletin.net by a Russian now living in the US, recently came to my attention. In an excerpt from what has expanded into a book to be published next spring, Dmitry Orlov writes, "I watched the Soviet Union collapse, and this has given me insights to describe what the American collapse will look like." Orlov's pending book is entitled "Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Experience and American Prospects." "Collapse" seems appropriate to describe where the US economy may be headed.
Orlov reveals various ingredients in the collapse of "modern military-industrial superpowers," including a shortfall in the production of crude oil, foreign trade deficit, runaway military budget, and a ballooning foreign debt. He compares the USSR and the USA on these matters, adding the importance of "a humiliating military defeat." Iraq may be to the USA what Afghanistan was to the USSR. Even with its $1 trillion military budget--larger than those of all the rest of the world combined--the US has been unable to subdue small, weak Iraq. Imagine what might happen with the much larger and more powerful Iran.
Yet Washington escalates its threats to expand war-making to Iran. "Any attack (on Iran) would probably double the price of oil," writes Stanford University Professor Joel Brinkley in "What If the US Bombed Iran?" in the Nov. 18 San Francisco Chronicle. This would "drive US gasoline prices well above $5 per gallon," Brinkley asserts. The de-stabilizing consequences to the US economy of just one of the many factors that threaten our oil supply could be devastating. Many military analysts think that a US attack on Iran is likely. US war-making creates an insecure and unstable economy. Arms manufacturers profit, but at the expense of the rest of us.
A series of dominos are falling and more are likely to fall. The subprime mortgage collapse, for example, has threatened some of the US's largest banks and financial entities. As our Earth's climate gets more chaotic, that will further impact many elements of the economy, including the environment on which it is dependent. Modern industrial societies are based on fossil fuels; as these supplies diminish and as the demand for them increases-especially in rapidly industrializing China and India--many aspects of contemporary life will be impacted, especially our food, which has become so dependent upon oil.
As the US economy has been declining in recent years, those of other nations have been accelerating. The European Union's strengthening of that region's economy can be seen in their currency. Whereas the euro and the dollar were on a par five years ago, today the euro is already worth about one and a half times as much as the dollar and the gap grows. The US is at risk that the countries that it owes money to, like China, will call in those debts, thus deepening our downward spiral. Even some people in the US are asking to be paid in and opening up bank accounts in euros.
So how do the mainstream newsweeklies cover the changing US economy? The U.S. News and World Report's editor-in-chief Mortimer Zuckerman wrote "The Yellow-Light Economy" on Oct. 22. "The August panic seems like ancient history," he assured us. He must be color blind, since a month later that light is now red and may cause a screeching halt.
Three weeks later, in the Nov. 12 Newsweek Robert Samuelson wrote "Our Great Recession Obsession." At least he uses the R word, which many economists have been avoiding. He details some threats-the housing "collapse" (he does use the word), oil prices, and credit problems. He leaves out a few little details, like the declining value of the US dollar.
Orlov writes about "a worthless national currency, and unhappy international creditors unwilling to extend further credit." The US economy and many households are living off credit for which they do not have the collateral. Samuelson fails to mention that the US is already the world's largest debtor nation. It's not a pretty picture for the US economy, regardless of how cheerleading economists try to spin it. How much further in debt can we go without crashing?
Samuelson assures us that "by and large, recessions are problems, but not tragedies." Tell that to older people on fixed incomes. He reassures us that "since World War II, there have been 10 of them, or one about every six years. On average, they've lasted 10 months." He even gleefully talks about the "often-overlooked benefits" of recessions. How come I am not reassured?
"We've been there before," Samuelson calmly asserts. In fact, the US and the world economies have never been to where we currently are and where the trends are leading us. We even have a US president and vice-president openly talking about World War III and the use of nuclear weapons. Talk about damage.
"The market for existing homes is 'hitting the low right now,'" a Nov. 14 Cox News article quotes the hopeful "chief economist for the National Association of Realtors as saying at the group's recent annual conference." He predicts a "modest recovery." Yet a Dow Jones News report on the same day starts as follows, "The chaos in the mortgage market is only going to get worse in 2008." Which economic forecast to believe?
"Stiff upper lip" are more words that come back from my military training, which was designed to make me obey, rather than think. We need to think outside the box these days and respond to the mass media about how it distorts reality, including that of our worsening economy, in order to cheerlead for consumption, especially during the holiday spending spree.
A house of cards appears on the cover of Richard Heinberg's new book Peak Everything: Waking Up to the Century of Decline. It is an apt image for the US economy. We may be living in what has been described as a "false economy" and as a "façade" that may soon topple. There are many blows that could cause the fragile house to fall down.

Lovie Smith has piqued the Buffalo Bills' interest, but they aren't the only NFL team hoping to speak with the coach recently fired by the Chicago Bears.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the San Diego Chargers would like to meet with Smith about replacing Norv Turner, who was fired Monday along with general manager A.J. Smith.
The Chargers on Thursday dispatched a four-man committee to the East Coast in search of their next GM, a team source told NFL.com's Albert Breer. That places the head-coaching quest on hold for now.
San Diego hopes to have a new GM in place by the middle of next week, in time to join the coaching search with chairman Dean Spanos, director of college scouting John Spanos, assistant GM Ed McGuire and consultant Ron Wolf.
Lovie to the Chargers is an interesting concept. The Bears sent Smith packing because he couldn't make it work with a franchise quarterback behind a spotty offensive line. That sounds awfully close to what drove people nuts about Turner.
Smith's future is anyone's guess, but when San Diego gets its ducks in a row, the Chargers would like to chat.

Jennifer Leavy, C '17
"The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
During this time of Lent, as we put the Lord first in our hearts through prayer and sacrifice, we should not overlook the crucial role God plays in all our lives-our "rock." When our lives are full of trouble, we should never struggle with them on our own. God will always be there for us, and we should always turn to him in our time of need. At some point in our lives we have mistaken rainfall for a hurricane, and wondered why it could ever happen to us or how we could ever survive. But we must always remember, especially in times of fear or sadness, that God is our home, our safe haven where peace and comfort awaits us. His vast love for us is the foundation, walls, and ceiling of the house that can never be destroyed or taken away from us. He is the beacon that shines through the storm and calls us towards salvation. Because of this, we can find strength and safety in God's love. But God's love isn't just a place of shelter and refuge. It is also a "shield," a "horn," something we can use to defend ourselves against sin and whatever "storms" life can throw at us. God's love isn't just a consolation, but a means of purifying oneself. It is an opportunity to grow in our love of God, not just during this time of Lent, but all throughout the year.
Father, help me to trust in Your love for me, so I may find the strength to endure life's burdens by seeking refuge with You. Amen.
Jer 20: 10-13, Ps 18: 2-7; Jn 10: 31-42

At the time of the Resident Evil 6 release, Capcom was confidently touting over-the-top action in their latest flagship survival horror installment. However, after a mixed-to-negative response from critics (read our Resident Evil 6 review) and uninspired word-of-mouth from faithful gamers, the publisher began to significantly tweak the recently released title – undoing a number of clear-cut design decisions: adding a co-op character for the "solo" Ada campaign and expanding the auto-assist QTE option to all difficulties, among other updates.
They should but they won't, Capcom are too proud, they don't want to admit that they were wrong so they will keep pushing this horrible new direction, Sqaure Enix is the same with Lightning and FF13.
If they do I'd rather they reboot it, start from the begining again, theres no way I would want them to continue in the old form after how much RE6 screwed everything up with it's terrible plot and what they did to much loved characters.
Start from the beginging, manison incident, same story, same characters, but change things around that will impact future RE games and make the story differn't.
Mansion dosen't blow up at the end of RE - Zombies/Experiments wander into Raccoon City - Outbreak starts earlier with STARS team still inside City etc ....go from there, it would change Leons story, Sherrys, Adas, Claire, Carlos and thats just by one small change in the first game.
They don't need to return to form. They just need to be fun and not broken like every main game up to and including 5.
Just be consistent and release something good. RE6 was all over the place. Leon's campaign wasn't bad....if the entire game was like that, I'm sure it would have done a better.
leon's mission was great it reminded me alot of old times. survival horror is the route they need to go. Back to the basics and what made it great.
Yes, please for the love of god yes! Go back to what made it GOOD in the first place...

Nowhere is this more apparent than with this amazing live view of the pyramids in Egypt:
Location Information:
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. It is believed the pyramid was built as a tomb for fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu and constructed over a 20-year period concluding around 2551 BC. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Originally the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been varying scientific and alternative theories about the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction hypotheses are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.

We've just got word of pricing information for the Samsung Omnia W in Italy. We previously reported a leak that saw the handset to be priced at $569. TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile) has the Omnia W up on their website for €349 ($480/£305), which isn't too bad considering the device comes packed with a 3.7" Super AMOLED screen, 1.4Ghz processor and a 5MP rear camera.
India has also launched the Omnia W at Rs 19,900, only slightly cheaper than Italy's pricing, so this could be a good indication for us Euorpeans.

I'm so glad that Second Sunday is run by the city of Charleston and not by the federal government. That means one of the best weekends of the year for strolling our city is coming up.
While not strictly an arts event, it has the makings of one when you see people dressed up, dogs in tow, street food and a general party festival atmosphere.
There are even a few art galleries that will be open that are worth checking out, including the Michael Mitchell gallery at 483 King.
The gallery started as a pop-up shop for Art for Charity, but has evolved into the place to see interesting avant-garde work for 30 artists. It always has interesting work in the window, and is certainly worth a look.
And there is the Julia Santen Gallery at 188 King that specializes in rare, unusual or vintage posters. Staffers can help you find posters worldwide from their extensive collection. So if you've been looking for that original 1977 Spoleto Festival USA poster with the monkey on it, they might be able to help.
And of course, there is the Audubon Gallery at 190 King. For those in the know, John James Audubon painted a series of bird paintings in Charleston, and various versions of his Great White Heron with the city in the background or his Carolina Parrot are still in reproduction.
Many Charleston homes have these prints from various eras proudly hanging over their fireplaces.
If you want to make it an art weekend, then plan on going to Autumn on the Ashley at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens on scenic S.C. Highway 61.
It's a crafts fair that is gaining in popularity because of the stunning location at the historic plantation and the quality of the artisans.
More than 35 vendors are expected for this sixth year, and they will include craft jewelry, pottery, glass bead work, woodwork and folk art.
The craft fair is my favorite price, free, and runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Demonstrators on both days will include the Lowcountry Woodcarvers, the Philip Simmons Artists Blacksmith Guild and the Charleston Artists Guild.
It's a chance to visit Magnolia in the fall, and appreciate the layout of the gardens and the lovely location along the Ashley River. Who knows — you might even spot a great blue heron or a snowy egret out there.
If you live on Kiawah or Johns islands, you know how hard it is to drive into town for the night, and get safely back home.
So here's an event to plan for at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 20. Frederick Moyer and the Jazz Arts Trio present "A Tribute to Dave Bru-beck" at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Bohicket Road.
Over the past 30 years, world class concert pianist Frederick Moyer has built an impressive reputation for being able to capture the styles and spirit of some of the all-time great contemporary jazz pianists such as Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans and Erroll Garner. Now, he plays tribute to jazz legend Dave Brubeck.
Fred and his quartet will be preforming many of Brubeck's best known compositions that have become classic jazz standards.
Brubeck's most famous quartet included the lyrical saxophonist Paul Desmond along with the highly acclaimed drummer Joe Morello with Eugene Wright on bass.
Frederick Moyer and the Jazz Arts Quartet recently performed the Brubeck tribute to a sold-out concert at the prestigious Newport Music Festival in Rhode Island.
To find out more about complimentary tickets, call the Visitors Center at Kiawah Island Town Hall at 768-9166.
The Moscow Ballet will be holding open student dancer auditions for its version of "The Nutcracker" starting at 1 p.m. Oct. 19 for ages 7-9 and 3 p.m. for ages 10-16 at the Summerville Civic Ballet, 975 Bacons Bridge Road.
Moscow Ballet's audition director Ekaterina Uksusnikova will select 60 dancers to perform as party children, mice, snowflakes, angels, and many more roles in the "Great Russian Nutcracker" in December at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center.
Applicants must have at least one year of ballet training, dress in dance attire and may bring pointe shoes.
It's a chance for your young balletomane to dance with the professionals.
Call 478-1811 for more info and register at www.nutcracker.com/youth-auditions/sign-up-to-audition.
Reach Stephanie Harvin at 937-5557.

How many times have you needed to check pasture conditions, but thanks to your busy day, you just stick your neck out of the pickup window as you are driving by to make a judgment on whether you have a few more days left in your pasture or not?
This is what I like to call a "pasture drive-by." We've all done it, especially if there's a need to cover a lot of country in a short amount of time. But, unless your mind can slow things down considerably, about all you can tell about the pasture situation is the particular shade of green (or not green) the grass is. Wait, let me rephrase that - the shade the forage is, because you can't tell for sure how much of the pasture is grass or weeds.
Another limitation to this approach is depth perception. Unless the pasture has some slope or a rolling nature, your assumptions are limited to 150 to 200 hundred yards. Of course, accuracy does increase the shorter the pasture is grazed — but that is a bad thing. Some of the things you can miss with this method include determining average stubble height, incidents of spot grazing, potential erosion development, percentage of thatch or old growth, onset of weed encroachment, etc.
If you are looking at rangeland, your perceived abilities with this method are even less, because you certainly can't tell if the best forage species are being overgrazed or not or if grazing distribution problems are developing. We all know that rangeland systems are more diverse than most introduced pasture systems, and with plant diversity comes more indicators that can be missed using the "drive-by" method.
Typically, the way most drive-bys get started is when you are out to check cattle. Once we see that all are present and accounted for and in good shape, we go to other tasks. Americans have become busier now than at any other time in history. Many livestock producers also hold down another job in town as well as having to attend kids' activities and so on.
Tools such as the pickup and the four-wheeler have helped us get more tasks done in a day's time, but does the time they save outweigh the loss in pasture or rangeland productivity if we don't pay attention to details? If we do no more than check cattle, fences and watering points, I would say "no" to that question.
You have to consider more than feeding areas and watering holes to know if your pastures are in good or bad shape. And you actually need to get down on two feet to assess the situation and determine corrective management decisions.
Usually, feeding and watering areas are the most abused by grazing. It's often the rest of the pasture that tells the story. Plant structure can also deceive the 45-mph pasture judge.
Overgrazing often leads to weed encroachment, prolonged forage recovery, and reduced livestock carrying capacity. With that in mind, you don't have to take the drive-by out of your vocabulary: you just need to practice it in the right areas on your property. This means areas other than where cattle congregate in the hot afternoon (after you get off work).
I also suggest you purchase a plant identification book — not one of the extensive keys, but a pictorial guide or one with good photographs. Once you get better at plant identification, you will find that you are more prone to get out of the pickup and take a closer look before making grazing management decisions…or at least you might slow down a little bit.
