WONDER IF THE CHINESE OR JAPANESE WILL WANT TO BUY THE BONDS TO COVER LAST MONTH'S FEDERAL DEFICIT?

Federal budget deficit for October: $176.36 billion - largest October deficit on record.
It is the first month of fiscal 2010
The deficit news comes the same day that the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the White House is considering spending unused bailout money to pay down the deficit, in a story co-bylined by my former Post colleague, Jonathan Weisman.

But think about this for a minute:
The bailout was not a big pile of unused cash sitting around waiting to be spent. It was new money that came from bond sales, which added to the national debt. Now, the White House is thinking about using some of that money to pay down the debt -- that it created!

Or, here's another analogy: using one credit card to pay off another.

SOGGY EGGO WAFFLE NEWS

Kellogg Plant Flood Triggers Eggo Waffle Shortage to Mid-2010
Bloomberg

Nov. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Kellogg Co., the largest U.S. breakfast-cereal maker, said flooding at an Atlanta facility and repairs at a Tennessee factory will cause Eggo waffle shortages through the middle of next year.

The scarcity was triggered by September’s floods in the southeastern U.S., which temporarily closed an Atlanta waffle factory, as well as by equipment problems at the company’s largest waffle plant, in Rossville, Tennessee, spokeswoman Kris Charles said today in an e-mail.

“We are working around the clock to restore Eggo store inventories to normal levels as quickly as possible,” Charles said in the e-mail....

Forbes.com | Will China Eat Our Lunch?

11.13.09, 05:40 PM EST

Impudent criticism of the U.S. government's fiscal mess underscores the momentum of China's rise to economic ascendancy.
As President Barack Obama prepared for his first presidential visit to Asia, he was publicly hectored by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to ensure that the U.S. will "effectively discharge its responsibilities," which means, he says, "We hope the U.S. will keep its deficit at an appropriate size so that there will be basic stability in the exchange rate and that is conducive to the stability and recovery of the world economy."
Get that. China is publicly chastising the U.S. for its fiscal irresponsibility. You know what, China has a right to complain; it is the single largest creditor nation to the U.S. government, holding $797 billion--nearly a quarter--of the total $3.45 trillion owed by Uncle Sam. Thanks to the decline in the value of the U.S. dollar, the Chinese have watched the value of their investment in U.S. debt drop by $128 billion in the past year.

Thieves make off with beer truck

Published Friday November 13, 2009 - Authorities in Lincoln have tapped into the Omaha Police Department's resources in hopes of nabbing a couple of thieves who stole a refrigerated trailer truck that was hauling 244 kegs of beer.
A Lincoln business, Crete Carrier, reported one of its refrigerated semitrailers stolen Nov. 1.
The truck is white-and-blue with blue Shaffer Trucking logo decals on the side and back.
So far, the truck has eluded authorities in Nebraska's two biggest cities.

Omaha police said the truck was spotted recently near 3800 L Street. Two men were seen trying to sell kegs of beer from the trailer. The same truck was also spotted in the area of 30th and Q Streets.

Morning News Update | Friday November 13, 2009

It's Friday the 13th ...

Rate of accidents

There are conflicting studies about the risk of accidents on Friday 13th. The Dutch Centre for Insurance Statistics (CVS) on June 12, 2008, stated that "fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur when the 13th of the month falls on a Friday than on other Fridays, because people are preventatively more careful or just stay home. Statistically speaking, driving is slightly safer on Friday 13th, at least in The Netherlands; in the last two years, Dutch insurers received reports of an average 7,800 traffic accidents each Friday; but the average figure when the 13th fell on a Friday was just 7,500. However, a 1993 study in the British Medical Journal that compared the ratio of traffic accidents between Friday 6th and Friday 13th stated that there is a significant increase in traffic-related accidents on Fridays the 13th. There are indications that there are more accidents on Fridays than average weekdays (irrespective of the date) probably because of alcohol consumption. Therefore it is less relevant for this purpose to compare Friday 13th with, say, Tuesday 13th.

Widespread flooding from Hurricane Ida along East Coast --

Coastal flooding, beach erosion, high winds and rain will continue to lash the mid-Atlantic coast today through the start of the weekend before a powerful nor'easter, formerly Hurricane Ida, shifts farther out to sea.

SOLAR ACTIVITY: Friday the 13th could be a lucky day for astrophotographers. A photogenic scene is developing on the sun's northeastern limb, where a magnetic thicket of hot plasma is rising into view. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) made this movie of the action on Nov. 12th:

The swelling limb-glow heralds the approach of sunspot 1029, the biggest and most active sunspot of the year. Sunspot 1029 spent the past two weeks transiting the farside of the sun, invisible from Earth, but now it is about to reappear. Friday the 13th kicks off a 2- to 3-day photo-op as the sun's rotation slowly turns the active region back toward Earth. Readers with solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor developments.

Lincoln, Nebraska: People's City Mission Over Capacity, Allowing Tents Outside

Lincoln

As the weather gets colder, more and more homeless are turning to the People's City Mission for help. But the Lincoln shelter is already bursting at the seams.

As the weather gets colder, more and more homeless are turning to the People's City Mission for help.

But the Lincoln shelter is already bursting at the seams.

It's a problem mission officials have been anticipating for a while.

Too many people and not enough room.

As winter approaches, that problem is now very real.

Pastor Tom Barber, Executive Director of the Mission, says, "The big issue we have right now is we are being overrun and the weather still hasn't really turned. We had last night over 370 people at the mission, we're set up for about 300."

And Pastor Tom only expects the problem to get worse. "The worry we have is if the weather gets really cold this winter and people keep coming in, at some point we're in serious trouble."

But some of Lincoln's homeless are using a little innovation to make it through the tough times.

Ron, tenant of the Mission, says, "We made a deal that we stay in the fence line, because the police keep moving our camps and chasing us out."

Ron and some of his buddies have formed the beginnings of a tent city on the People's City Mission property.

They're using blankets and sleeping bags from the Mission to furnish their tents for the winter.

Pastor Tom says, "These are guys that either can't or won't come in because of the crowded conditions and so we're hoping to help some more folks and then have the guys sleep at night out in tents."

A situation Ron and his fellow tent mates seem to be OK with. He adds, "Most of the men have slept in the bush before so we'll be OK as long as we have tents and blankets."

And the will to survive...

Pastor Tom says the cost of feeding and taking care of people at the Mission is always going up.

He says the People's City Mission is losing a lot of money but they're hoping for the best.

America's shameful neglect of homeless --

"More Americans should travel to Washington DC and see the many homeless US military veterans living on the streets of our capital in plain sight of the callous nitwits on Capitol Hill and the arrogant thugs at the White House. I have seen the lobbyists and power brokers pretend they are not even there but they are everywhere. As if they were leading the world and cannot even lead the District of Columbia out of a basic human need problem."

WATCH OUT IF YOU BUY GOLD BARS!

Market Oracle | Gld ETF Warning, Tungsten Filled Fake Gold Bars

“Gold Finger - A New Take On Operation Grand Slam With A Tungsten Twist”

I’ve already reported on irregular physical gold settlements which occurred in London, England back in the first week of October, 2009. Specifically, these settlements involved the intermediation of at least one Central Bank [The Bank of England] to resolve allocated settlements on behalf of J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank – who DID NOT have the gold bullion that they had sold short and were contracted to deliver. At the same time I reported on two other unusual occurrences:

1] - irregularities in the publication of the gold ETF - GLD’s bar list from Sept. 25 – Oct.14 where the length of the bar list went from 1,381 pages to under 200 pages and then back up to 800 or so pages.

2] - reports of 400 oz. “good delivery” bricks of gold found gutted and filled with tungsten within the confines of LBMA approved vaults in Hong Kong.

Why Tungsten?

If anyone were contemplating creating “fake” gold bars, tungsten [at roughly $10 per pound] would be the metal of choice since it has the exact same density as gold making a fake bar salted with tungsten indistinguishable from a solid gold bar by simply weighing it.

Unfortunately, there are now more sordid details to report.

When the news of tungsten “salted” gold bars in Hong Kong first surfaced, many people

who I am acquainted with automatically assumed that these bars were manufactured in

China – because China is generally viewed as “the knock-off capital of the world”.

Here’s what I now understand really happened:

The amount of “salted tungsten” gold bars in question was allegedly between 5,600 and 5,700 – 400 oz – good delivery bars [roughly 60 metric tonnes].

This was apparently all highly orchestrated by an extremely well financed criminal operation.

Within mere hours of this scam being identified – Chinese officials had many of the perpetrators in custody.

And here’s what the Chinese allegedly uncovered:

Roughly 15 years ago – during the Clinton Administration [think Robert Rubin, Sir Alan Greenspan and Lawrence Summers] – between 1.3 and 1.5 million 400 oz tungsten blanks were allegedly manufactured by a very high-end, sophisticated refiner in the USA [more than 16 Thousand metric tonnes]. Subsequently, 640,000 of these tungsten blanks received their gold plating and WERE shipped to Ft. Knox and remain there to this day. I know folks who have copies of the original shipping docs with dates and exact weights of “tungsten” bars shipped to Ft. Knox.
