Bankers may have to fess up to $250 billion more in losses
That question has rattled investors and triggered tremors throughout the world's financial system for months. Seems there won't be a definitive answer anytime soon, however.

All persons should know the meaning of the words conservatorship, conservator, and conservatee. It is vital to the protection of one's life, assets, and freedoms.
In California, a conservator of the person may be appointed for a person who is unable to provide properly for his or her personal needs for physical health, food, clothing or shelter. A conservator of the estate may be appointed for a person who is substantially unable to manage his or her own financial resources or resist fraud or undue influence. The person conserved is a conservatee. "Substantial inability may not be proved solely by isolated incidents of negligence or improvidence." CA Probate Code Sec. 1801.
Sometimes a conservatorship is necessary and beneficial; in that case, family members are favored by the law to act as conservator.
Tell us your story
The tough times finally took their toll. Danny sold the restaurant, but before we went our separate ways, he gave every employee some extra money to help out. My family lost touch with him. But if you're reading this Danny, I want you to know that your kindness will never be forgotten. Maria Chow, Toronto About twenty-five years ago my wife and I were driving from Toronto to Montreal for a friend's wedding. We stopped for breakfast in a little restaurant in Grafton. Later, around Kingston, my wife discovered she had left her purse there. We had no idea what the restaurant was called and no time to turn back. In desperation, I called the OPP detachment in Cobourg from a phone booth at the Service Centre, explained our predicament, and asked if they could find the name and number of the restaurant.
Reality lost on those who put faith in universal health care
It is no wonder that none of the candidates have sparked much interest this campaign cycle.Let's go back to basics. I did the numbers on my hospital test. I added in every cost including salaries, equipment, utilities, insurance, and then gave everyone a 100 percent profit margin. The cost of my test: well under $200.Prior to the test, I did not call the hospital and ask about the cost.Suppose that I did not have insurance and health care was sold in a free market. Here is what would have happened.I would have called the hospital. They would say the cost would be $900.I would call another. In a free market, some hospital is going to settle for only 300 percent profit and ask for $450. Sooner or later, I would find a hospital that would do the test for $150.Would I travel 200 miles for $700 in savings? Yes, I would.The people who demand "free" universal health care maintain that the medical industry is ripping us off.
Cynics and Cheerleaders
Many believe that while it remains almost impossible to find a job, the cost of living has spiraled upward since the full float of the Egyptian pound. The only changes, they claim, have served those who didnt have any problems to start with. Others cite the tax cuts (slashed by 50 percent), customs reforms (lower import duties and simplified import chapters) and the stabilization of the dollar exchange rate against the pound as being major leaps on the path to economic reform and prosperity. .
Election Madness
His letters to me have always been angry, railing against our capitalist system for its failure to assure "life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness" for working people. Just today, a letter came. To my relief it was not handwritten because he is now using e-mail: "Well, I'm writing to you today because there is a wretched situation in this country that I cannot abide and must say something about. I am so enraged about this mortgage crisis. That the majority of Americans must live their lives in perpetual debt, and so many are sinking beneath the load, has me so steamed. Damn, that makes me so mad, I can't tell you. . . . I did a security guard job today that involved watching over a house that had been foreclosed on and was up for auction. They held an open house, and I was there to watch over the place during this event.
