Just when I thought we were finished with this goddam European bailout crap, here comes Cyprus with their haircut on bank deposits. Is this going to lead to a bank run in the EU? My stops are in place. All I can do is sit and watch. I hope like hell that Krugman is wrong about this.

When my mother died in 1999 she had $800 in a B of A account. They turned it over to me after a certain amount of time had passed and I filled out the requisite paperwork.

AP coverage of grieving mother: http://news.yahoo.com/mom-nyc-teen-shot-police-why-killed-183343242.html Over a thousand comments so far, nearly all of them supporting the police. Those of us who were news hounds in pre-internet days remember that there was no discussion of race allowed...

CNN is covering last nights rioting: http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/14/justice/brooklyn-police-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

It's not just SNAP. Look at disability numbers, they are exploding as well. It goes to show that an entire nation's culture can be affected by it's elected leaders. Compare now to the 80's when Reagan was in office. I was born in 1965, so I hit the workforce right about the time the Reagan...

There are several blogs commenting on it, including Slate. I'm surprised at how these left-leaning blogs aren't portraying it as a racist cop shooting (although I found one blog claiming that there was no riot).

The only news organization that I've found reporting this is the Huff Po. A search for Kimani Gray on Yahoo's news feed shows nothing. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/12/flatbush-riot-kimani-gray-vigil-killed-by-nypd-cops-violent_n_2857716.html

Stopped out this morning at 44.12. Looks like somebody is taking a huge stake in the company.

Sometimes I think this is all just a fucking crap shoot. Back in January I put FARO on my short-sale watch list. Two weeks ago it was ripe to go short, but I didn't because I'm already short one stock and that's as much as I want to short while we are in a bull market. If I had gone short I...

I didn't know that either - I was aware that part timers are eligible for a lot of government handouts, but I thought unemployment wasn't one of them.

Spent as much time outside in the fresh air as I could, I think it helped. Still feel sick though. I can tell my liver (and maybe the rest of my internal organs) are swollen because they are pressing against my stomach, allowing it to hold only a little bit of food.

Making money on my short position, but slightly underwater on my two long stocks.

Accidentally poisoned myself with insecticide. I fell asleep on the sofa after I sprayed it, and I must have inhaled a lot of fumes. The only time I've seen more mucous than this was when I was tear gassed in navy boot camp. My chest feels like its on fire and being ripped out and I can only...

Thanks! I've been avoiding the forum lately, it was a pleasant surprise to see it returned.

CBS evening news had a lot of amateur video of that thing tonight. They even had one shot of a high rise apartment where most of the windows blew out.

That was a great video! I hope it was authorized otherwise Mr. Francis is in big trouble. I couldn't help but LOL at the 29 dislikes on it. Who could have watched that and gave it a thumbs down? With record numbers of people on food stamps, disability, unemployment, on and on, it's good...

Am I the only person on the internetz who doesn't feel like my life is controlled by whomever occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?

That he gets "nothing" is not true. If he is truly destitute, he's eligible for VA benefits to treat his injuries for nearly free. Leaving with only 4 years until retirement probably wasn't very smart. He could have applied to leave SEAL duty and go to the fleet.

Why can't moderators notify thread originators when their threads are deleted or moved? It would stop these types of threads in the feedback section and it's just common courtesy.
