Back on May 16 in 1960 Theodore Maiman did something special by inventing the world’s first laser, so today we celebrate its 48th birthday.

In my last post I promised to describe more of my interview with Anita Rufus of the Anita Rufus Show on KNewsRadio in Palm Springs, California. And I’ll get to that promise in a moment. First I want to share something I just learned – today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day. According to Spousebuzz, President Regan in 1984 declared the Friday before Mother’s Day as Military Spouse Appreciation Day. In a guest blog on www.Spousebuzz.com, Lieutenant General William Caldwell, Commanding General, U.S. Army Combined Arms Center and Ft. Leavenworth, said: “All military spouses know why their loved ones serve, and they share in their hardship and sacrifice and ask for little in return. It is humbling to those of us who wear the uniform to know that our best friends,
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player at a news conference on Tuesday. Bryant, in his 12th season, has long been considered the league's most talented player but finally received MVP recognition with 1,105 points, including 82 first-place votes, ahead of New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul, who finished second in the voting with 28 first-place votes and 890 points. Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett finished third with 670 points and Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James received 438 points, finishing in fourth in what was a heavily debated race for much of the season. "I really don't know what to say, it's such an honour and a blessing to be here," Bryant said. "It's a very special day for me." Labelled as a selfish player, Bryant apparent
~Robert~ A message from Move America Forward. We're pleased to present this trip down memory lane to remind you of the great work Melanie Morgan has done, working with you and thousands of other pro-troop supporters across America!

The World Wide Web is celebrating it's fifteenth birthday today. If it was a child, it would be kicking litter around the street and jumping on fences.One key feature of the growth of the World Wide Web is online journalism, an area of the media I am hoping to have a career in.Why is online journalism so important?1. Online journalism is global. As long as my erratic Digital Village internet connection is working, I can read blogs and journalism from anywhere in the world. I can watch the Daily Show online from America. Compare this with the restrictions on DVD's (including the PAL/NTSC clash) or the small number of shops stocking foreign newspapers (which are usually expensive).2. Online journalism offers more than one way to tell a story. You can embed audio or video or even both in a we

Mumbai, the financial capital of the largest democracy of the world(India) is really setting an example for other major cities in the world. Not long ago, a group of youngsters had come forward to start a "batti band" campaign as a step towards reducing the consumption of energy. They tried to spread their message of switching off the lights for two hours in the evening for one day through every medium. Their campaign received a mixed response but atleast they tried to do their bit. Now, there's a lot of talk going around Mumbai about making one of the days in the first week of April a "no-honking day", where horns would be used only if extremely necessary. This is to reduce the noise pollution as far as I know. Whether this campaign would receive a good response or not is to be seen... bu

According to a report in the Annals of Internal Medicine, yoga may relieve back pain. So there’s hope for those back sufferers! Scientists studied 101 (Dalmations?) back-pain sufferers as they participated weekly in either one 75-minute yoga class or a 75-minute strength class (both done at home). After 26 weeks, yoga students felt less pain and used few pain relievers than the exercising group. Hmm…why is that? WHY? The answer is: viniyoga. Researchers believe certain principles unique to viniyoga-the style used in the study may have made it more effective. By practicing yoga, you learn to pay attentio

Happy holidays everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the end of the year festivities. There's a feeling in the air that everyone is maxed out. I was out in the Inland Empire this past weekend and saw very nice brand new homes going for $200,000. Prices are starting to take major downturns here in California. I've been getting a lot more e-mails from readers showing me Real Homes of Genius throughout the state. In fact, I would venture to say that this housing fiasco has enveloped the entire state of California into a Real State of Genius. We featured 10 Southern California homes back in May and people still had doubts about a housing bubble. In today's very special holiday report, we are going to show 10 homes throughout the state from Palo Alto, to Fresno, to Chula Vista that bring home this housing crisis. This should also show that this housing bubble is more than a subprime problem but a much larger and pervasive credit issue that will impact the entire economy. Liste
To some it may seem ludicrous. A German man sentenced to five months in prison for teaching his dog to raise its paw in a mock salute when the man says "Heil Hitler."A Hitler-adoring German man has been jailed for teaching his part-German shepherd mutt, Adolf, to perform a Nazi salute, London's Daily Mail reported.The dog is now in a shelter where the staff is attempting to turn the salute into a pawshake.And yet there are literally millions of reasons as to why such stiff penalties prevail in Germany over the use of symbols and gestures associated with Hitler and his Third Reich.Hitler's evil legacy still lingers; the untold suffering and mass murder of millions in the guise of Nazi supremacy. Perhaps there is the fear that history could easily once again repeat itself.Whatever the reason, the fear associated with all that belongs to Hitler and his reign of terror and mass murder is based on reality. All one has to do is walk through the camps where millions--yes, millions of men, w
Riccardo mi segnala un blog su De Mello , in lingua inglese. E' un autore che cito spesso perchè ritengo che il suo approccio alla Religione sia molto comprensibile e adatto a chi proviene da altre culture.Il sito oltre a contenere vari link interessanti per chi vuole approfondire il suo pensiero, ricorda che i testi di De Mello sono considerati pericolosi dalla Congregazione per lla Dottrina della Fede Cattolica.Ma bisognerebbe ricordare che i libri di Padre Anthony sono stati scritti in un contesto multireligioso, per aiutare seguaci di altre religioni, atei e agnostici nella loro ricerca spirituale; non sono da intendersi come un manuale di istruzione sulla dottrina cristiana o sui dogmi.Infatti i suoi libri, nonostante i divieti, continuano ad essere seguiti e letti.Sapete com'è in queste cose, magari bisogna aspettare un pochino, giusto qualche secolo e poi verrà riconosciuta la sua grandezza, anche ufficialmente.In tutta trasparenza mi sento di esprimere:Leggere Anthony de
The casualties of the housing market are hitting Southern California even in middle class neighborhoods. Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo is pushing for Fannie and Freddie to raise their caps to $625,000, in a push to socialize the housing bubble. This is on the back of a previous request of raising rates to $850,000. As you will see in today’s Real Home of Genius, we are starting to see decent homes in middle class areas reaching caps that are already in place. There is no need to push for higher caps. If you haven’t noticed unscrupulous lenders will push buyers into the maximum loan caps and buyers will not read their contract and take on whatever debt is put in front of them. The caps are there for a reason and right now isn’t exactly the best time to be asking Freddie and Fannie to take on more responsibility considering they are still trying to shore up liquidity to remain stable. Raising caps by 50 percent isn’t exactly the best thing to do. Keep in mind that a recen

As the Thanksgiving food wears off and shoppers take a respite from hitting the malls at 2AM searching for rock bottom deals on stainless steal microwaves and diamond studded toilet plungers, we enter the last week of the month. From preliminary reports, it seems that the American Consumer™ should not be underestimated. Yet the housing market continues to trend downward with no end in sight. This year was a litmus test of sorts; in late 2006 we kept hearing that mortgage resets would have little impact on the overall housing market. With the knowledge that 2007 was going to face large resets, this theory was going to be put to the test. It did have an impact. Combined with stagnant values, increasing inventory, and debt saturation the market hit a wall. The question now shifts to what can be done for 2008, which mirrors 2007 in terms of the amount of mortgages resetting. The only problem now is financing is much tighter and the grease that was moving the housing system so qui
As the onion layers peel back and we slowly start to realize which Wall Street firms and banks gambled on the mortgage party of the century, the memo apparently hasn’t arrived here in Southern California. Prices are still so high, we may need to go to Malibu for a little weekend rehab to come out of this housing daze. There has been this massive resistance from Wall Street and asset backed note holders to unravel what lies in the dark matter of these bundled securities for fear that they may actually have to sell something (whatever it may be) at current market rates. The argument goes that psychology is holding prices and sentiment down, therefore we want people to calm down and start drinking the housing Kool Aid again. Then everyone will be dancing in the middle of a congested 405. Unfortunately this isn’t going to happen. In fact, the Fed rate cut was short lived with a tiny rally followed by the next day beat down. If you like to see how the media got this one wrong aga
AN EBBW Vale man performed a Nazi salute and racially abused two Asian restaurant owners while on bail for a metal bar attack on another man, a court heard. Christopher Phillips, 24, of Bethcar Street, Ebbw Vale, was jailed for a total of 26 months by a judge at Newport crown court. He admitted wounding Jonathan Meadows, affray, and causing racially aggravated fear of violence. advertisement Prosecutor James Evans said that on September 21 last year, Phillips had a row with Mr Meadows concerning drugs. Mr Meadows picked up a knife and with that, Phillips grabbed a metal bar in an attempt to disarm him. Mr Meadows suffered a broken right arm and had nine cuts to the top of his head which needed 70 stitches. In May this year in Church Street, Ebbw Vale, Phillips stood outside the Tara Mahal Restaurant and did a Nazi salute. Shortly after he confronted the two owners and used racially abusive language. One of them, Mohammed Taukder, was attacked and suffered a broken cheek bon
Southern California is bracing for a historical mortgage, credit, and equity downturn. As we’ve mentioned about the oncoming credit storm, the forth quarter of the year simply had too much momentum to stop this silver train from derailing. The housing atmosphere was setup for this perfect storm. Even in the face of medically precise liquidity injections by the Fed, rate cuts, banks making absurd bailout funds, and the government subsidizing bad lending we are now realizing that the scope of this problem is much more profound. Important news for the week is now every county in Southern California is negative on a year on year basis according to DataQuick. The small caveat of course is Los Angeles County, but we are only off by $6,000 which is an amount that wouldn’t even cover 1 square foot in the mind of many sellers. We will reach 100 percent negative median prices by the end of the year as predicted. Right on cue, certain counties are taking the brunt of the storm. Rive

One thing is clear. The media is no longer shy about exposing the housing boondoggle. We can easily fall into the category of looking at all the macro information and forget about one simple fact regarding the housing market, the house itself! There is talk about the subprime debacle, credit crunch, mortgage fraud, foreclosures, and banana republic financing. Like all bubbles, at a certain point prices become so disconnected from the underlying asset that it becomes a speculative shark feeding frenzy. There is a surreal feel to what is currently going on in the current market. We have Countrywide employees (at least they claim to be) posting on multiple housing bubble blogs, we have an infamous 25 year old flipper back blogging and gearing up to appear on Dr. Phil, and we have insiders dumping stocks like you wouldn’t believe. Ironically, here is the Dr. Phil episode information, Sick and Tired of Spouse Chasing Million Dollar Idea. Even last night, I was scanning the tub
You know you are living in bizarre times when Kevin Federline looks like a model parent in comparison to his ex-wife. So it may come as no surprise to most Californians that some folks are pulling out all the stops in getting their homes sold. Inventory is increasing on a daily basis. With this increase we are seeing a drastic jump in short sales and foreclosures. More and more lending institutions will be announcing layoffs in the upcoming months. In a few days, we will have the 3rd quarter NOD results and we can all guess where they will be heading. Why are people shocked? All you need to do is attend a few open houses here in Los Angeles County and the warning signs will be flashing bright red. Desperate times call for desperate measures. With today’s home, we see what must be the smallest five bedroom home in the entire Los Angeles region. Today we salute you Pico Rivera with our Real Homes of Genius Award.
What is 856 square feet, has 5 bedrooms, and cost $300,00
Vet cuts down Mexican flag flying above U.S. banner
After hearing a Reno bar was flying a Mexican flag above a U.S. flag, an angered U.S. Army veteran took matters into his own hands, drove to the site and cut down the banners in front of a stunned group of Hispanic patrons.
Reno television station KRNV, which was there to document Jim Broussard’s act of defiance, noted the U.S. code prohibits raising the flag of any other nations above Old Glory.
Broussard pulled up in his truck to the Cantina El Jaripeo near downtown Reno yesterday, cut the rope that anchored the flags and pulled them down from a makeshift flagpole. Continued
Watch the action.

The market has gone completely bipolar. A few weeks ago, the market was tanking and practically every day, we were hearing about one after another lending institution collapsing. Now, we are riding the stock market to prosperity once again thanks to the Federal Reserve and easy money (you can use these interchangeably). Even though we still hear about lending institutions tanking this is already baked into the market since data doesn’t matter anymore. This past week was full of pyrotechnic housing fireworks. Let us recap the week: Fed drops funds rate to 4.75 Stock market soars like an eagle on methamphetamines Dollar index falls below key support levels Gold shining at 27 year highs Oil prices keep chugging along And guess what happened to the 10 year Treasury note?: It actually went up! I’m not sure why so many in the housing industry think that the Fed has some kind of direct impact on the direction of long-term interest rates. Do you now get that they are simpl

First, I'd like to thank Gay Bipolar Guy and Jay Pee Freely for their lovely welcome back comments. They made me feel good! Also, last night I spent a lot of time reading other people blogs and I'd like to recommend some particularly enjoyable posts.My dear friend Sydney from Bipolarity has been writing some pretty wonderful stuff. I'd recommend reading all of her new posts but I particularly liked A real-time exercise in forgiveness and What does it mean to be "black enough"?A few weeks ago, the Gay Bipolar Guy posted a very painful but beautifully honest post, What Took a Lifetime to Write, about childhood abuse in Ohio that every anti-gay politician should read. Staggo has not only survived but flourished and I salute him.Jay Pee Freely loves baseball. If any of you do too, I'm sure you'll enjoy his Timeline from the Baseball Project. If you're not a baseball fan, he does write on other topics. One of his pieces that touched me was Milestone or Millstone: Being 35 and Hati
Ha már előkerült az imént John Mayall Bare Wire című opusza, itt az idő, hogy Kisati néhány napja feltett kérdésére is sort kerítsünk. Ő ugyanis a Colosseumot hiányolta (teljes joggal) a kuckóból. Szóval az említett John Mayall album felvételekor a Bluesbreakers tagjaként zenélt Jon Hiseman dobos, Dick Heckstall-Smith szaxofonos és Tony Reeves bőgős-basszusgitáros és úgy érezték, hogy nekik együtt kell maradniuk, és valami sosemvolt zenét kell játszaniuk.Dave Greenslade billentyűs-énekessel és James Litherland gitáros-énekessel kiegészülve megalakították a Colosseum együttest. Zenéjük a jazz, a blues és a rock igen magas színvonalú szintézise, mellyel Angliában a King Crimsonnal együtt a progresszív rock űttörői voltak.Első lemezük az 1969-es Those Who Are About To Die Salute You.A számok:01. Walking in the Park (Bond) – 3:5102. Plenty Hard Luck (Greenslade/Heckstall-Smith/Hiseman/Litherland/Reeves) – 4:2303. Mandarin
What an interesting week. As Rome burns and the political syndicates offer every possible option of bailing out the rouge gamblers and maverick flippers, they fail once again to highlight the nucleus of this bubble. Forget that the Bush Administration is offering a bailout plan even after he said they would do nothing last week. Pay no attention to the Fed with their implied wink-wink posturing that they will lower rates. So what. Homes are so overpriced in nearly every metro area in the country that they can drop rates to 0 and it still won’t make sense to buy because prices are out of line with local household incomes. Would you like to buy a beat up Ford Pinto for $30,000 simply because the interest rate is 0 percent? Apparently this is happening with all these Real Homes of Genius we are seeing. You may think that we are grabbing at low hanging fruit. But these homes are priced from $300,000 to $500,000+ in lower to middle income areas. Last time I checked, $500,000 was
The kids have returned to school, which heralds my return to blogging after a fabulous summer break.

I know many of you must be feeling overwhelmed with all the hard-hitting housing data from recent weeks. The sky isn’t falling, but home prices are. Foreclosures and short-sales are hitting the market daily and adding up like an abacus. I’ve decided that it was time to get our feet placed solidly back into reality with another fantastic and spectacular deal here in sunny Southern California. Today we salute Buena Park with our Real Homes of Genius Award. If you are not familiar with short-sales don’t worry, soon you’ll be reading and hearing many mainstream articles discussing this growing phenomenon. A short-sale, for the sake of simplicity, is selling a home at a loss. Typically, this happens when a seller needs to unload the home but finds that their mortgage(s) has put them underwater. Unlike the Fed, the IRS isn’t one to give bailouts so sellers still need to pony up even after a short-sale is executed. You may be wondering why you haven’t heard much about s
In the last two weeks, the market has gone bipolar because of the credit market implosion. It turns out that housing does carry a lot of influence even in the stock market. Even after the Fed injection of credit heroine, the market is still down 10 percent from its peaks last month. Most housing market pundits actually think we are turning around. Suddenly we are in a recovering market

I haven’t posted a Real Homes of Genius for sometime because the credit markets were busy being hit with the reality stick and exploding like a birthday piñata. Apparently, Wall Street got a few pictures of what was really stewing in their mortgaged backed portfolios and had a hard time justifying that a 600 square foot home was really worth $500,000 in the murder capital of the United States. Multiply this scenario thousands of times over in multiple metro areas and you have the current bubble bursting housing market. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If that is the case, today’s article is worth $1 million plus a dictionary. So today, we will look at two homes that garner the award-winning label of Real Homes of Genius.The first home is a spacious 1,045 square foot home in Arleta. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, you’ll be wondering what to do with all the extra space. Maybe you’ll rent out the extra room to cover the mortgage. As you can see from the above
With only 2 days before our first Premiership fixture of the new season there's still plenty going on in the news from the Arsenal camp. As we build up to that first match on Sunday I thought we could have a look at some fine goals from the guy who hopefuly is going to save our ass this season - Robin Van Persie.
We have picked what we think our his top 13 goals so far - have a look and let us know what you think.
We salute you RVP and wish you well for the road ahead and let's hope we see plently more of these over the next few months.
(Thanks to RonitC for the Van Persie goal compilation)
CINCINNATI (AP) — Skip Prosser always will be “Coach” to Pat Kelsey. “I believe that one of the greatest honors a player can bestow on a coach is to call him ‘Coach,’ forever,” Kelsey said Saturday while delivering the eulogy during a memorial Mass for Prosser at Xavier University. The 56-year-old Prosser, who coached at Xavier before taking the job at Wake Forest in 2001, died of an apparent heart attack in his Wake Forest office on July 26. Former players and other coaches attended his more…

The Loose Salute is a gang of friends whose members are about reporting back from the world they live in together, making records that represent something for them, and bringing out the sheer sense that creating music is a celebration, not a labor. The Loose Salute was formed by Ian McCutcheon (drummer of Mojave 3) and Lisa Billson, who met Ian after he heard her singing along to Bob Dylan songs. Tuned To Love was made anywhere that the vibe was right - living rooms, garages, even Ian's mum's kitchen. Performing on the record is the core band of Ian (Drums & Vocals), Lisa (Vocals), Pete Greenwood (Guitars), Charlotte King (Harmonies & Percussion) and Al Forrester (Piano & Organ). Paul Noble added some Bass, surf Guitar and mixing skills and Ian's school-yard buddy Pritpal Soor added some more electric Bass, Keys and a producer's ears.The Loose Salute Bio:It looked like it might be all over before it had even begun…After releasing its first single (the Suck It Up Buttercup EP
