US National Debt Clock: Only One Place Big Enough - The Internet!

		Tuesday, 25 August 09 - 05:28 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

The famous debt clock in Times Square, created by the Durst Organization, was briefly taken down this past fall because it ran out of room when the debt hit $10 trillion. It was one digit short. Durst came up with a quick fix: Turn the digital dollar sign into an extra digit and slap on a dollar-sign sticker. At the this rate, when the debt reaches $99.99 trillion, there’s only one place big enough for the national debt clock -  the Internet!

The National Debt Clock is a billboard-sized running total digital seven-segment display which constantly updates to show the current United States public debt and each American family’s share of it. It is currently installed on Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) in Manhattan, New York City.

The idea for the clock came from New York real estate developer Seymour Durst, who wanted to highlight the rising national debt. In 1989, he sponsored the installation of the first clock, which was erected on 42nd Street close to Times Square. In 2004, this clock was dismantled and replaced by the new but virtually identical current clock.

Invented and sponsored by New York real estate developer Seymour Durst, it was installed in 1989. After Seymour’s death in 1995, his son Douglas Durst became president of the Durst Organization which owns and maintains the clock. According to his son Douglas, Seymour Durst had been toying with the basic idea of drawing attention to the growing national debt since at least 1980, when during the holiday season he sent cards that said “Happy New Year. Your share of the national debt is $35,000″ to senators and congressmen In the early eighties, when Durst first developed the idea of a constantly updated clock, the technology required to implement the project was not yet available.

With the national debt at 2.7 trillion dollars, the original 11 by 26 feet (3.4 m × 7.9 m) clock was erected in 1989 at Sixth Avenue, a block from Times Square, located on the north side of 42nd Street, easily visible from Bryant Park. It was erected by the New York sign company Artkraft Strauss.

In 2004, the original clock was unmounted from its location at 42nd Street and an updated model, which could run backwards, was installed one block away on a Durst building at 1133 Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue). It is mounted on the side wall of the Building which faces W 44th street.

An overhaul or complete replacement adding two more digits to the clock’s display is currently in the planning for 2009.

Michelle Obama Shorts Light Up the Grand Canyon

		Wednesday, 19 August 09 - 09:28 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

I was quite astonished to see how on fire the search for "Michelle Obama Shorts" is. It's like a volcanic eruption taking place that doesn't show signs of abating. Seems some people are actually outraged that First Lady Michelle Obama dared to bare so much leg by wearing shorts on a recent trip to the sweltering Grand Canyon.

I particularly liked the article in the Examiner entitled Mid-week fashion: Michael Vick's Eagles fashion debut to Michelle Obama's short shorts controversy.

First Lady Michelle Obama is dominating news headlines again for her fashion.  This time, there is baffling uproar over her decision to wear short shorts on her vacation.  Some people are upset that she chooses to show her hard-earned legs (so much leg some say) in the middle of August while hiking and water rafting.  Apparently, she should hike the trails in a sheath dress, sweater, brooch and full makeup or perhaps a floor-length Oscar de la Renta evening gown. I'm sure that's how the rest of America dresses when they go hiking.  If you're into comfortable vacationing, then get your own short shorts.  Or choose to brave the rapids in your best evening gown.  Does First Lady Michelle Obama have the right to bare legs?  It's over 100 degrees in the middle of August in the grand canyon.  The first lady is comfortable in her own skin.  Get over it already!

Obama Dog in Da House: A Portuguese Water Dog

		Sunday, 12 April 09 - 07:39 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

 

The Obama family gets to know their Portuguese water dog, which daughters Sasha and Malia have named Bo. The puppy was a gift from Sen. Edward Kennedy, who has three "Porties." A few weeks ago, there was a secret get-acquainted session with Bo and the Obama family at the White House.  White House photo by Pete Souza.

Usually leaks are bad things when the subject is puppies, or the White House, but yesterday a cute leak squirted out from 1600 Pennsylvania, the news that its newest resident is a Portuguese water dog that the Obama girls have named Bo.

Jamaica Observer Reveals Law Firm Layoffs

		Sunday, 05 April 09 - 09:37 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

A Jamaica Observer story reveals the latest high-profile job layoffs to afflict the island paradise. The article says, Jamaica has given us many things to be thankful for: Bob Marley, reggae, Red Stripe beer, Olympic sprinters, and The Am Law Daily's favorite movie of all time, Cool Runnings. (Not to mention the Jamaican bobsled café in Montego Bay.)

But today, sobering news that leaves some Jamaicans not feeling quite right -- law firm layoffs.

The country's largest firm, 50-lawyer Myers, Fletcher & Gordon, confirmed on Thursday that it had reduced its staff by 15 percent. The firm, which has offices in Kingston and London, has 160 employees.

Blogger's Note: The more I look at it, the more I am convinced that the layoffs will keep coming and that it doesn't matter where you are on this planet -- even in paradise -- it will affect you too (or someone you know) soon enough.

Farrah Fawcett Hospitalized With Anal Cancer

		Sunday, 05 April 09 - 07:27 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, Farrah Fawcett-Majors -- as she was then known during her marriage to Lee Majors, star of The Six Million Dollar Man, from 1973-1982 (the two separated in 1979) -- was a noted pop culture figure whose hairstyle was emulated by millions of young women, and a sex symbol for millions of young men in the 1970s and 1980s. Farrah was my pinup girl. I was totally crazy about Farrah Fawcett. It makes me awfully sad, therefore, to hear that the former Charlie’s Angel has been battling cancer for three years. According to sources, she is however, determined to stay positive.

Fawcett, who was diagnosed with anal cancer three years ago and later pronounced cancer-free, has just recently returned from Germany, where she had experimental stem-cell treatment. Updates, according to some sources, Farrah Fawcett is hospitalized but in a stable condition in a Los Angeles-area hospital.

Fawcett was a critically accepted actress, appearing off-Broadway and in acclaimed television movies in challenging roles. Catch up on all things Farrah Fawcett here!

Live Nation Going Head-to-Head Against Ticketmaster

		Saturday, 14 March 09 - 02:13 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

When it comes to LIVE entertainment (concerts), the name Live Nation is everywhere. According to Billboard.biz, as the economy tumbles down faster than "Watchmen" at the box office, developments in the live-music ring have the potential to land a wallop on the pocketbooks of anyone who patronizes concerts.

I also picked up another article from Gainsville.com Entertainment that says, and I quote... "First, and this isn't a bad thing, the concert-promoter behemoth Live Nation is going head-to-head against Ticketmaster by selling tickets to its own concerts without the long-established (and long-derided) ticket seller doing the brokering.

On Saturday, for example, the promoter is selling its own tickets to the Dave Matthews Band's concert at the Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa, 'exclusively through Livenation.com and 877-598-8698,' as a press release succinctly puts it."

Read the full article here

Meanwhile, Mojo Concerts, the Dutch branch of Live Nation, has revealed that its new arena venue will be called the Ziggo Dome. It is named after the Dutch cable company that will be providing sponsorship.

Mojo Concerts stages major acts in the Netherlands either in the 10,000-capacity Rotterdam Ahoy or the Gelredome in Arnhem, which is double that capacity. But the lack of availability of the much in-demand Ahoy meant there was a need for a new major venue.

Blogger's Personal Diary - I seem to be spending most of my time editing and rewriting my novel, and reading books (novels). It is quite refreshing, I find, to be doing something different...other than promote promote promote all the time. I think I needed this break. It has given me time to think and to "plot" my next move.

My network marketing business needs a new push, it leaves much to be desired at this point in time, I must figure out what to do. A newspaper advertising agent in the US (I won't mention their name), didn't deliver jack...but vehemently insist my ad was run when I know it wasn't. Heavens, I track all my URLs. I'm not stupid! But anyway, you win some you lose some. If this is the new business ethic sprouting off the back of a global recession, then so be it. Ain't going to allot too much time to dwelling on this. It will only do my head in. I know better now, NEVER to use them again.

Ponzi Scheme Extraordinaire Bernard Madoff Ordered to Jail

		Thursday, 12 March 09 - 10:42 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

A Ponzi scheme (which takes its name from Charles Ponzi, an Italian immigrant who by the time of his arrest in 1920 had become the best-known and most successful practitioner of the pyramid scheme in the United States), also known as a pyramid scheme, is the name given to a fraudulent investment gambit that, unbeknown to investors, pays them returns with subsequent investors' money, rather than from profits from the investments. The swindler's success depends on paying investors big short-term returns, which then attract more investors with more money. The scheme collapses when enough investors demand payment at once that the swindler running the scheme can't pay them off -- or legal authorities step in and shut down the operation.

According to Bloomberg, Bernard Madoff was jailed after admitting he masterminded the largest Ponzi scheme in history, an epic swindle that may have reached $65 billion and made him the symbol of investor distrust in a global recession.

Madoff, 70, entered his guilty plea in Manhattan federal court three months after confessing to relatives that his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, was “one big lie.” U.S. District Judge Denny Chin ordered that Madoff, who has been free on $10 million bond, should be jailed while awaiting sentencing, scheduled for June 16. He faces as much as 150 years in prison.

Indianapolis Fire Guts $28 Million Condominium Complex

		Thursday, 12 March 09 - 05:59 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

I just received this news with shock. A city I have visited on many occasions (I have very fond memories of Indy) is under siege with fire gutting a $28 Million condominium complex. Fortunately, the building was still under construction and unoccupied.  

No injuries are being reported. About 125 firefighters are on the scene working to bring the fire under control Thursday morning.

Indianapolis Fire Department spokeswoman Rita Reith (RIGHT) says three unoccupied buildings burned and all are considered a total loss. She says the buildings are valued at $28 million.

The fire broke out about 3:30 a.m and sent smoke billowing across the Indianapolis skyline. Firefighters were working to keep the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings.

I will be contacting a friend who lives there to find out more about what's going on.

Daylight Savings Time - When the Clocks Go Forward

		Saturday, 07 March 09 - 03:20 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

I now live in the tropics (thank goodness) where there has never been Daylight Saving Time (DST). But for those of you living in the northern hemisphere (not to mention some of you in the cold South), yet again, the clocks go forward this time of year. In 2009 Daylight Saving Time begins on March 8 at 2 AM and ends on November 1. Generally speaking, Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. Note that although commonly referred to as Daylight Savings Time, there is "officially" no "s."

Apparently, in China, there are no time zones. Whatever time it is in Beijing, that’s what time it is across the entire country (which I can't quite comprehend). According to Wikipedia, the two political entities currently using "China" as part of their official name, the People's Republic of China (PRC) (mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau) and the Republic of China (ROC) (Taiwan) are in the same time zone which is eight hours ahead of the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+8). In the past, this region had been divided into five time zones.

And whilst browsing through Wikipedia I read that DST's occasional clock shifts present other challenges. They complicate timekeeping and can disrupt meetings, travel, billing, record-keeping, medical devices, and heavy equipment. Many computer-based systems can adjust their clocks automatically, but this can be limited and error-prone, particularly when DST rules change.

Grim Sleeper Killer: LA Detectives Hit Brick Wall

		Thursday, 26 February 09 - 11:09 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

Quite unimaginable this, but a serial killer known as the Grim Sleeper because he takes long breaks between murders, has evaded arrest for 24 years. LA police on the hunt for the killer, sadly, have hit a brick wall. They have a sample of his DNA, a description from a survivor and a $500,000 reward. Let's hope this, and the release of a recording of a 1987 emergency call helps to jog somebody's memory and leads to the tracking down of the man dubbed the "Grim Sleeper," who has killed at least 11 times in nearly a quarter century.

Obama Budget: Spending Plans Would Bring Deficit to $1.75 Trillion

		Thursday, 26 February 09 - 08:53 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

The hottest search on Google Hot Trends this hour is the Obama Budget, believe it or not, a whopping $3.55 trillion budget proposal has just been unveiled by President Obama today for the coming fiscal year that he said discards "dishonest" accounting practices of the past and makes "a historic commitment to comprehensive health care reform." 

The plan would raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and trim Medicare to help pay for what the administration calls a $634 billion "down payment" on a universal health care program. $250 billion will be used to bail out struggling banks, and $410 billion... approved be the House this week, will fund major government agencies through the remainder of the fiscal year.

Obama's spending plans would push the 2009 budget deficit to a massive $1.75 trillion, officials said this morning. The government's yearly shortfall would equal 12.3 percent of the nation's annual economic output. Such a percentage has not been seen since the end of World War II, when the deficit came to 21.5 percent of GDP.

All of this is quite staggering to say the least, but I just want to stay on top of these developments for obvious reason, economies around the world are in the thick of it too, we all want to know what the future holds. In addition to the loss of more than 3.5 million jobs in the past 13 months, Obama said, another 8.8 million Americans are underemployed, manufacturing employment has hit a 60-year low, capital markets are "virtually frozen," and "trillions of dollars of wealth have been wiped out" in the stock markets.

"This crisis is neither the result of a normal turn of the business cycle nor an accident of history," Obama said. "We arrived at this point as a result of an era of profound irresponsibility that engulfed both private and public institutions from some of our largest companies' executive suites to the seats of power in Washington, D.C. . . . This irresponsibility precipitated the interlocking housing and financial crises that triggered this recession."

Saying that government has repeatedly failed to confront systemic problems as policymakers have chosen "temporary fixes," Obama declared: "The time has come to usher in . . . a new era of responsibility. . . . This budget is a first step in that journey."

The Washington Post goes into further detail with an article aptly entitled Obama's Budget Proposal Would Push Deficit to $1.75T

Growing Financial Markets Volatility - Nervous Investors Keeping Their Money in Cash

		Sunday, 22 February 09 - 10:27 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

Honest to God, I never thought it would come to this. Whilst researching hot topics on the the Internet today (I make it my business), I came across several articles on what was going down with the economic meltdown at the minute, and an article on Forbes, for me, really painted a pretty grim picture of what's happening...and the likelihood, that this may well become a long drawn out economic slowdown contrary to earlier predictions. The bottom line, according to the Associate Press, is the shock that accompanied the market meltdown last fall has been replaced by something else: a resignation that it may take months or even years for the stock market to recover.

The worst week for stocks since early October underscored a loss of hope that government actions to stabilize the economy and the markets will pay off any time soon. Closing at 7,366 Friday, the Dow Jones industrial average is now down 48 percent from its peak just 16 months ago.

Investors are showing their strong disappointment with federal rescue efforts after putting their faith in it for months, according to Art Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co. in Boston.

"The fiscal stimulus is now being looked at through the clear eyes that it's a longer-term, back end-loaded plan that will take years, not months, to start affecting the real economy," he said.

Financial advisers and planners are trying to stay in closer touch with nervous clients and revisiting whether their advice from last fall still holds true.

Beverly Eckert, 9-11 Widow and Activist, Dies in Buffalo Plane Crash

		Friday, 13 February 09 - 06:34 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

Investigators on Friday began to search for the cause of a commuter plane crash that killed 50 people outside Buffalo, New York, leaving a fiery scene of destruction. It's remarkable that Continental Airlines Flight 3407 only took one house, given that it was carrying 5,800 pounds of jet fuel and turned into a fireball on impact. It could have easily wiped out that entire neighborhood! It is utterly incredible that nearby homes suffered only minimal damage.

FBI agent Laurie Bennett said evidence could not be collected until the scene was deemed safe, which could be several hours.

The Buffalo News reported that one of the victims was Beverly Eckert, whose husband was killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.

Eckert was traveling to Buffalo to mark what would have been her husband, Sean Rooney's, 58th birthday.

"We know she was on that plane," her sister Sue Bourque told the paper, "and now she's with him."

MIA - 9 Months Pregnant Performs At Grammy Awards

		Tuesday, 10 February 09 - 09:15 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

I don't understand how a heavily pregnant woman would stand up on stage and perform at the Grammy Awards. I cannot comprehend what she was thinking but what she did did grab her the headlines! Publicity stunts are sure getting BIGGER and LOUDER by the day, or so it seems.

M.I.A. is a name and a group of initials that have become very big in the music and movie business this past year. But all of that may have been overshadowed by M.I.A's performance at the Grammy Award M.I.A. Pregnant Performance Still Talk of Grammy Awards s on Sunday. Not necessarily because of what M.I.A. performed, but because she performed it on the night she was projected to give birth. The nine-months pregnant M.I.A. still went on with the show, making even more headlines in an already star-making year for her.

Read the full article M.I.A would have her hit song be a big part of not one, but two movies - in a way. Pineapple Express, Judd Apatow and Seth Rogan's action-stoner comedy, used M.I.A's newest hit "Paper Planes" as the song for its debut trailer. The song did wonders for the trailer, making Pineapple Express even more heavily anticipated.

When Pineapple Express was finally released, many critics expressed disappointment that "Paper Planes" was not actually in the movie itself, after it played such a part in the movie's ads and trailers.

But M.I.A. and "Paper Planes" would return to movies in the biggest way possible just a few months later. "Paper Planes" actually appeared in the soundtrack for a little movie called Slumdog Millionaire.

Set in India, where M.I.A. lived for a time after moving from Sri Lanka, Slumdog Millionaire won the hearts of audiences and critics in part because of its stirring soundtrack of both original and pop songs.

With "Paper Planes" as a part of that soundtrack, M.I.A. won even more fame in 2008 from both music and movie fans. "Paper Planes" got another big showcase as part of the song "Swagga Like Us" which was performed at the Grammys.

Alex Rodriguez Tested Positive for Anabolic Steroids

		Saturday, 07 February 09 - 10:54 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

Baseball's drug policy prohibited the use of steroids without a valid prescription since 1991, but there were no penalties for a positive test in 2003. Sports Illustrated reports this morning that Alex Rodriguez tested positive for Anabolic Steroids in 2003, the year in which baseball players were tested anonymously and without penalty to assess the level of steroid use in the game.

Rodriguez declined to discuss the tests when approached by SI on Thursday at a gym in Miami, where he lives in the offseason. "You'll have to talk to the union," he told a reporter.

Calls from SI to union head Donald Fehr were not returned. Although, in a December 2007 interview with "60 Minutes," three days after George Mitchell's report on drugs in the sport was released, Rodriguez denied using performance-enhancing drugs. According to the Huffington Post the New York Yankees star failed a drug test for two anabolic steroids, four sources told the magazine in a story posted Saturday on its website.

Released alongside the preview is a featurette "Lost Untangled" which provides as a guide for viewers who have gotten lost in "Lost" complicated storyline. Presented in a comical narration, the featurette tells about the show from the beginning when the plane crashes to the current season where there are lots of flashbacks going on.

Home Buyer Tax Credit Added to $900 Billion Stimulus Package

		Thursday, 05 February 09 - 02:07 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends

Until now, little attention had been given to solving the devastating impact of the housing downturn, which is the root cause of the financial crisis that continues to escalate at an alarming rate. It is, however, the collapse of the housing market that eventually resulted in the financial meltdown and credit crunch we saw last fall, which, as it happens, has now spilled over into the general economy with devastating results.

As history shows, housing is the sector that leads the economy out of recession, hence, as reported by the The New York Times, it is such a relief to learn that GOP Senators introduced a proposal today that would allow a tax credit of 10% of the value of homes purchased by first-time home buyers, up to a $15,000 limit. This doubles the current tax credit, which is $7,500.
