 | 1950s TV Personal Finance Portfolio Investing Stock Advice In this episode of the Longines Chronoscope, Edward T. McCormick, President of the NY Curb Exchange, gives advice to the audience about what basic investments are the most beneficial and safe. He recommends first that everyone purchase life insurance as a protection rather than an investment, then goes on to recommend fixed income securities. Buying a home is next on his to-do list for the ordinary American and he argues that any purchase of commodities, like a home, is a good investment because he believes that inflation will continue. He recommends buying stocks from commodities companies that deal in the purchase, extraction, or development of commodities such as metal or oil. However, these stocks should be just a part of a larger diverse portfolio. He applauds government regulation of stocks, saying that this relatively new legislation has made the stock market more accessible and safe for the average American.

 | AIFL Citizenship Throgh Sports Exchange AIFL USA-Israel Citizenship Throgh Sports Exchange was introduced in 1999. Like democracy, team sports recognize individual accomplishments, yet emphasize commitment to the greater good. Both demand perseverance through adversity and reward teamwork. Invoking this useful resonance, the U.S.-Israel Citizenship Through Sports Exchange (CTSE) offers young American and Israeli student-athletes a valuable means of applying their background in sports to the art of active citizenship. Since 2000, CTSE has generated cross-cultural dialogue and democratic engagement among American and Israeli student athletes. One of our most dynamic programs, CTSE encourages students to openly and honestly address the issues affecting their lives, communities and schools. Together, our Israeli and American participants receive the training to confront problems impacting both nations, including school violence and threats to security and democracy. CTSE has directly involved hundreds of American and Israeli high school student athletes of many faiths and ethnicities, and impacted hundreds more in their schools, communities and clubs. Throughout Israel, the adaptation of AIFL's 'Citizenship Through Sports' Program has created a cadre of youth leaders prepared to direct their schools and clubs in activities designed to curb intolerance, disrespect and non-sportsmanlike behavior-necessary steps in eradicating violence in school. From Tel-Aviv to Modi'in, from Nahariya to Kibbutz Yagur student and teacher program alumni have been inspired to take action in their communities. Past participants have organized local meetings, training sessions and sports activities. Six students and a teacher from the Carmel Zevulun Regional High School in Kibbutz Yagur adopted Ivnin, a neighboring Arab village, and developed a school project to teach CTSE's lessons in teamwork, respect, fairness, leadership, and community service to the village children. |
 | Curb stomp - the exchange In the gorilla business, when someone is untrustworthy, the consequences are severe... |
 | DOW Jones close to record high of 1297 (1985) Stock close to record high of 1297 (1985) Gold only $287! The Exchange traces its roots back to colonial times when stock brokers created outdoor markets to trade new government securities. The AMEX started out in 1842 as such a market at the curbstone on Broad Street near Exchange Place. The curb brokers gathered around the lamp posts and mail boxes, resisting wind and weather, putting up lists of stocks for sale. As trading activity increased, the shouting reached such a high level that stock hand signals had to be introduced so that the brokers could continue trading. In 1921 the market was moved indoors into the building at 86 Trinity Place, Manhattan, where it still resides. The hand signals remained in place for decades even after the move. The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978. |
 | Cass Confronts Nicole About Killing Jason, Part 2 Cass and Nicole's confrontation continues. (The person Cass hangs up on at the beginning of this clip is Stacey. Derek went over to Cass's and found Stacey there and told her that he and Frankie had discovered Nicole killed Jason and told Cass. Stacey realized that Cass went to talk to Nicole and called over to Michael and Donna's, but Cass picked up the phone and hung it right back up, and the person he hung up on was Stacey.) Nicole still wants to get married. (No wonder she ended up in the psych ward two months after this.) The confrontation and the relationship end with Cass calling off the wedding, dumping Nicole, and walking out on her. Stacey arrives at the church and pulls Donna and Michael aside to talk to them, but before she can tell them what's happened, Nicole shows up looking like a drowned rat and announces to everyone that there isn't going to be a wedding today, and she's not getting married. Meanwhile, Cass is wandering the streets of Bay City in the pouring rain. He stops, takes out the wedding rings he and Nicole were supposed to exchange, throws them away, then sits down on a curb and puts his head in his hands as the rain pounds down on him. |

(July 29)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] [Notes:file of ahmedinejad]Iran's president says he sees "common ground" with the West over his country's disputed nuclear program, and "new behavior" from the United States that could merit a positive response. [Notes:Iran nuclear file] President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (ah-muh-DEE'-neh-zhahd) is quoted as saying his country doesn't "believe in a nuclear bomb," which, in his words, "belong to the 20th century."

 | Paulson, Bernanke and Cox to testify before Dodd Committee reasury Secretary Henry Paulson said U.S. regulators plan to alter rules for packaging loans into bonds in the aftermath of the subprime-credit collapse. Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, who testify before Congress today, first want markets to stabilize, reducing borrowing costs for companies and consumers. Policy makers are trying to revive an economy that expanded at the slowest pace since 2002 last year. Paulson, Bernanke and their counterparts at the Securities & Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission are ``carefully'' reviewing loan securitizations, the Treasury chief said yesterday. The process magnified losses on subprime mortgage-linked securities because it reduced the incentive for lenders to ensure that borrowers could repay their debts. ``You can't have gone through the process we've gone through without knowing there needs to be some changes,'' Paulson, 61, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television yesterday in Washington. ``First, we need to get through this period with as little impact as possible on our economy. And then secondly, we need a strong policy response.'' Paulson, Bernanke and SEC Chairman Christopher Cox are scheduled to testify before the Senate Banking Committee on the economy and financial markets at 10 a.m. in Washington. Dodd Measure Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd, who chairs the committee, introduced legislation in December to curb predatory- mortgage lending. His bill includes a provision to hold mortgage-bond investors responsible for loans that violate the law. |
 | MILAN PALERMO THE RETURN Turi Arcangelo Leofonte, (Giancarlo Giannini) bookkeeper to the Mafia, whose collaboration with the courts caused the arrests of almost the entire Scalia clan, has served his eleven year sentence in a maximum security prison and is preparing to leave for his final destination abroad, a free man with a new identity. Old Scalia has died in prison. His son Rocco (Enrico Lo Verso) learns of Leofonte's imminent release from a mole inside the Ministry, and puts together a plan to force him to return his father's money, scattered in tax havens across the globe. Rocco Scalia belongs to the new Mafia, the one whose assets are listed on the Stock Exchange, and he manages its numerous companies in apparently total legality. He is an educated, cultured man who loves luxury and elegance. Two members of the original squad which escorted Leofonte to Milan to testify against the Scalia mob are back: Deputy Assistant Commissioner Nino Di Venanzio (Raoul Bova) and Chief Inspector Remo Matteotti (Ricky Memphis). Good friends, they are working together again only because Turi Arcangelo Leofonte is to be released from prison. Chiara Leofonte (Turi's daughter) has married and had two children, one of them slightly autistic. Her husband was killed in a shoot out and she has lived alone in Milan for three years. Before leaving on the assignment, Remo Matteotti has to sort out his fourth child, his 'adoptive' son Libero Proietti (Libero De Rienzo). Libero is the brother of Tarcisio Proietti (Valerio Mastandrea), who was killed eleven years earlier during the first escort operation. Remo, a close friend of Tarcisio's, keeps an eye on the young man and tries to curb his exuberance. Libero joined the police force against Remo's wishes, out of a desire to emulate his brother. He is as wild and reckless as Tarciso (Valerio Mastandrea) was shy and apprehensive. Libero would give anything to be part of the squad but Remo will do all he can to thwart him. The squad has two other members, Inspector Elda Fiore (Gabriella Pession) and Inspector Giorgio Ceccarelli (Simone Corrente), a married couple with serious problems. Elda is a computer expert who surfs the net like a real hacker. Giorgio is not originally part of the team but replaces another officer at the last moment, to the surprise of all concerned, especially Elda. From here on an authentic apocalypse of interrelated events explodes, canceling the word 'predictable' from the dictionary. This saga of old and new Mafia's in the age of Internet - part road movie, part action drama - has nothing to do with politically committed cinema. This is not a film about the Mafia, but an imaginary tale focused on individuals and their stories, sentiments, loves, jealousies and fears. Ancient grudges, misunderstandings, torment and dramas from the past will all be resolved in the course of a terrifying, spectacular, heart-pounding journey. 'True' stories of men and women who never think of themselves as heroes, even when they are risking their lives.

 | Make It Work [[Episode 37: Custody]] Part Four {ANNOUNCEMENT: 12:03 am. You better love me forever. If you could see how I look right now, you'd pee your pants. I'm hideous, all because I wanted to get this one out. I'm posting it now, this is Monday's episode. *Falls asleep*} RECAP: Rachel was about to question Cheryl, the CPS worker... Rachel: Thank you your honor. Cheryl, what is your relation with Child Protective Services? Cheryl: I work for them. I'm a social worker. Rachel: Do you know my client, if so, how? Cheryl: Yes. I was ordered to take his fairly newborn twins into CPS custody. He was there when I took them. Rachel: I see. How did Mr. Jonas react? Cheryl: Well, at first he was refusing to let me take them. He closed the door on me when I told him I worked for CPS. I asked him, ever so nicely, to cooperate so the authorities wouldn't have to intervene. He opened the door and led me to their nursery. He looked very stressed and helpless. I took the kids to the car and he followed me, reassuring the twins that everything would be okay the entire way. It hurt me so much to do take them, but I had to, just incase it wasn't safe for them. He kept telling me to treat them right, and told them to behave and that he and their mother loves them. It was heart breaking. (The audience makes sounds of sympathy, imagining the sight for themselves. Rachel coyly looks around and knows she has them all on her side) Rachel: Mrs. Williams, what did my client look like that day? What did you see? Cheryl: (Shifted in her seat) He looked very worried, like he was at the end of his rope. I know his wife or girlfriend, whatever she is to him, was arrested the night before. He was covered in blood and so was the front room. He just seemed like his life was falling apart right in front of his eyes. I wanted to leave Nicole and Adam with him, to give him a break, but I had to think about the purpose of my job. Rachel: How would you describe Mr. Jonas, from what you've seen. Cheryl: He's the sweetest guy, and the most loving father. I can honestly say that I have never encountered a situation where a father was that distraught over having his kids taken from him. Most of them are too absorbed in themselves to care, but not him. As I drove off, I saw him in my rear view mirror. He just fell apart, right there on the curb. He broke down in tears, like he didn't know what else to do. I felt guilty of causing that pain that radiated across the world. I'm sure you can feel it now, just like I can see it in his eyes at this very moment. (Joe and Cheryl made eye contact. He was trying to keep it together, but she obviously saw thru is lame attempt. He broke down again, Kevin there to comfort him. He could only hope that everyone would trust him to be the father that he truly is) Rachel: (Almost in tears herself) Is there anything else you'd like to say before you're dismissed from the stand? Cheryl: (Smiles while crying) Yes. That man, right there (Points to Joe), deserves his kids back. If you can't see how miserable he is without them, then you're blind, deaf, and dumb. You have to be. I am fully authorized to say that he is the best father I have ever seen. (To Joe) Good luck to you Mr. Jonas. Joe: (Crying) (Mouths) Thank you. Kevin: (Patting his back, holding back tears as well) It's gonna be okay man. Hang in there. (Cheryl was excused from the stand. She squeezes Joe's hand on her way back to her seat, wishing him the best. John was slightly moved, but lost all sympathy when remembered a vital piece of evidence) Judge Judy: John, do you have anyone you'd like to question? John: Yes your honor. I'd like to call Mr. Joseph Jonas to the stand. (The crowd gasps as Joe takes the stand and is sworn in. Rachel and Kevin exchange puzzled expressions, as to why John was questioning Joe) ~~WHOA! What vital information does John have? Why is he questioning Joe? Read Part Five...yes there's a part five!~~ |
