    Erickson Retirement Communities files for Chapter 11

    This is an opening shot in America's retirement of the 21st century. I have a parent in a newish (2-3 yo) upscale assisted living in a formerly low cost area. Labor rates, costs are going up. The crash is straining new applications, the home is cutting corners, mostly through less staff and...

    Chinese company selling counterfeit gold

    They did this with silver dollars too. Again the drop test will pick these up. Many vending machines even long ago used a combination of drop, as bounce, and electrical conductivity that would nail most fakes. That is why the post 1964 US coins used the copper sandwich when the Treasury...

    Chinese company selling counterfeit gold

    You are buying bullion coins aren't you? Drop the coin a few inches on a hard suface, it will ring with sweet notes like your other real coins do. If it thunks, you have a tungsten or depleted uranium slug. Just be careful what you say or do the next instant, you may be dealing with a real...

    The real Health Care solution:

    I've gone mostly orthomolecular with good, often biochemically measurable results. I have a strong research background. The largest one has tried to hire me, and some of my kids before. LDL, fibrin high or HDL low? Niacin is $3 per month. Fish oil has better stats than any CVD drug. High...

    Three Government Reports Point to Fiscal Doomsday

    If they continue to inflate the market, the Fed will be out of a job sooner - when people only accept dollars by threat of force instead of harder stuff, whether Asian currency, gold, silver, some kind of commodities account or other real asset sliced electronically.

    Global Chip Sales Increase 5.3 Percent Month-on-Month

    So will they as breathlessly report if September sales stagnate tightly following the stock market, and if October plunges?

    U.S. Aug. retail sales up 2.7% vs. 2.3% expected

    Clunkers and bear mkt rally related surge of sales. US spent, or promised, $3b in 1 month instead of $1b in 5 months. After the sugar shot and coke party, economy may crash and need detox. Consumer will be crunched as M3 contracts (M3 contraction note is in WSJ).

    failing to test swine flu vaccine

    Still an important page as flu season in the US begins, with all the domestic "news" and advert terrorism from the media shills. I used to get respiratory illness all the time living in the far north, now I don't as I moved to 1200 iu, then better, 2000 iu vitamin D. I take 100mcg - 250 mg...

    46.3 million Americans without health insurance

    A lot of medical insurance and medicare goes for treatments that don't work for known groups of people, don't correspond well with medical science, or, are flat dangerous. Taking care of a parent I now realize just how dangerous medicine under Obama's Medicare will get with fewer choices...

    Numbers Banks Are Reporting Are A Literal "Fraud": Investors At Risk

    A loss should be recorded when a buyer defaults. There are a lot readers discussing that foreclosures are being gamed 6 to 12 months by banks to avoid recording losses. This clearly fraudulent behavior, apparently spreading. Substantial writedowns should occur at 90 to 120 days of...

    Unemployment down 28% in philippines

    In May things were booming construction wise but the upper end real estate sales appeared to be weakening through June going into July. Hard to believe that there was massive job creation in June-July-August.

    46.3 million Americans without health insurance

    We need routine, expanded cheaper diagnostic tests. Perhaps like "lab-on-a-chip" or even expanded fluids test panels (blood and "other") on a routine basis to detect warning signs and guide health. Diagnostics and monitoring can be key to finding and treating many chronic illnesses in real...

    I think the shorts are (more) screwed here

    Crisis is a driver of "Change". Looks like BB+TG+BHO may be loading the US economy into the atom smasher of systemic (hyper?) monetary inflation and crony capitalism.

    46.3 million Americans without health insurance

    I am moving to Asia with a disabled parent. I may be uninsurable based on full history, but not interested in insurance after years of experience, necessity and ultimately, self reliance. I am digusted with what passes for US conventional medicine now, at least locally. Parent had decades of...

    China Says First jet to Cost Less Than Boeing, Airbus

    Of course the Chinese population will be the guinea pig, low monetary cost partly paid with lives that will provide foreign customers with the data to assess the Chinese airplanes safety (of lack thereof).

    Bernanke; Bald Faced Liar: Claims Recession Is Ending, So it Must Be True, Right?

    Not to defend BB but economists do define "recovery" differently than our "reality", including faked and misinterpreted stats. However BB needs to avoid looking down while chasing Roadrunner over the cliff, lest cartoon reality suddenly catch up...

    $73,000 for a 1 night stay in hospital because of a snake bite

    With ascorbate, those with enough technical background to run their own therapeutic trial, or, simply enough common sense to give it a try, seem to get very, very "lucky". Those who aren't capable of recognizing opportunity at extremely low risk for the prospect of identified great benefits...
