| Explosive Money Supply Fuels Global Inflation
The problems in the financial sector remain with us," said Bank of England chief Mervyn King on Nov 19th. "A painful adjustment faces the global banking sector over the next few months as losses are revealed and new capital is raised to repair bank balance sheets," he said. To defuse the crisis, the Fed, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England are pumping enormous sums of money into the banking system, at below market interest rates, to prevent a "credit crunch" from triggering a global stock market meltdown. "Central banks are working together to forestall any sharp tightening in credit conditions that might lead to a downturn around the world," King declared. Big banks are reluctant to lend money to each other in the LIBOR market, because of suspicions that borrowers might be holding big undisclosed losses in toxic sub-prime mortgages.

Vicki as a birth mother has the "get over it, it's not that bad" attitude and others have similar type attitudes as they slam each other on a who's better basis. One would think that with an issue that really hits home with women more so than men, people would be banding together and demanding fairness. Particularly if it is truly about the kids. To stir up more controversy...If it were truly about children's needs, one parent, be they mother or father, would be staying home with the kids until they are well into their school years. .

TheStreet.com on Path to More Ads, Less Subs
TheStreet.com is carrying through with its mission to extend coverage beyond dry investment-related content to attract broader audiences and more non-financial ad dollars. The company reported a 134 percent jump in full year 2007 revenue from non-financial advertising over 2006. And a recent acquisition of Promotions.com, in addition to the launch of a new mainstream consumer-aimed site, Mainstreet.com, promises to spur more of the same. Ad dollars from non-financial advertisers made up 44 percent of the publisher's ad revenue in '07, up from 27 percent in '06. "I expect that non-financial advertising will comprise 50 percent of total advertising revenue in 2008," said Tom Clarke, CEO and Chairman of TheStreet.com during today's earnings call with investors. Clarke later mentioned that the firm's ability to attract advertisers outside of the endemic financial vertical has been a concern of company observers in the past.
