TEHRAN — Removing four zeroes off the national currency will not have any inflationary impact on the economy, the deputy governor of the Central Bank of Iran, Hossein Qazavi, said here on Wednesday.

Is this the vision of how it could happen here?

Old dollars to new “improved” Federal Reserve Bank Notes. They could have contest to who would appear on the bills. Big winners those who have change.

Facebook Bans Google+ Ads by samzenpus

Barbara, not Barbie writes “Not content with making it hard for people to export their Facebook contacts to Google+, Facebook has now banned all ads from app developer Michael Lee Johnson, who ran an ad saying ‘Add Michael to Google+.’ Facebook sent him the following message: ‘Your account has been disabled. All of your adverts have been stopped and should not be run again on the site under any circumstances. Generally, we disable an account if too many of its adverts violate our Terms of Use or Advertising guidelines. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with the specific violations that have been deemed abusive. Please review our Terms of Use and Advertising guidelines if you have any further questions.'”

This is an example of why you can’t depend the Cloud for “production”. It can disappear on a whim. Taking all your data with it.

ARLINGTON — The day after what club president Nolan Ryan called “one of the saddest things” he has experienced at a ballpark, the Rangers set up a memorial fund for the family of Brownwood fireman Shannon Stone.

Stone died on Thursday night as the result of injuries sustained in a 20-foot fall from the left-field seats into an area behind the out-of-town scoreboard during a game against the A’s at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Flags flew at half-staff on Friday at the Ballpark and both teams were planning to wear a black ribbon on their uniforms for the game. A moment of silence will also be observed and information on the memorial fund will be made through the Texas Rangers Foundation.

Well, I didn’t catch Jeter’s 3,000th hit.

But, I have chipped in.

It was a “dumb accident”, but I understand the joy of catching a ball. Frau Reinke caught one, (after I skillfully got out of the way), savored the moment and proceeded to quickly make a young boy’s day by giving it to him.

She had her “once in a lifetime” joy, and shared it.

That nightmare only continued at a Wednesday hearing , when she claims defense attorney Gabi Silver kept badgering her on the stand insinuating that she brought this attack on herself, causing this victim to snap in court.

“I said just get to the point bitch, it slipped out, it was inappropriate… all the bottled anger” says the alleged victim.

Without a warning, she says 36th District Judge Vanessa Bradley held her in contempt and ordered her to spend three days in jail.

Ahh, Gooferment judges, can’t even tell the good people from the bad. It’s all about the assumption of the right to initiate force.

Contempt?

The whole system deserves contempt.
