Along comes government, which prints another $10 bill. It looks just like yours and spends just like yours. The only difference is that government did nothing to create its $10. Remember, you had to work for yours. At first, both $10 bills buy the same amount of goods. But after awhile, merchants notice there is more money "out there" and with it, more demand for their products. So they raise their prices. Suddenly, your $10 is worth $5 less than it was before. It is not the products and services which have become worth more; the currency is worth less than it was before. Some economists say that inflation is a normal part of a healthy economy. This is false. It only exists when a monetary system has no sound base. We are also told that the boom and bust cycle is a normal part of all economic activity.

Health: Valentine's Facial
In the latest health alert there is the ultimate beauty treatment designed just for ladies.Flowers, rubies, and chocolate, imagine all those luscious Valentine's Day treats are wrapped up together. Not in a gift box but a facial. "I wanted to eat it off my face," said Melanie DiPiero, who tried the facial. She recently had a baby and decided to try the Valentine facial in hopes of rejuvenating her tired skin. It starts with a cream that contains tiny beads of crushed rubies to exfoliate and remove dry, dull, lifeless skin. The next step is the chocolate. "We like the consistency to be very similar to cake batter," said Karen Fox, owner of Ageless Skin Solutions in Marlton. The chocolate, made from a specialized cocoa powder, contains anti-oxidants, enzymes and caffeine. "Its de-puffing the skin so you're getting that tightening effect," said Karen.

Chubb's university challenge
Australia's catch-up cannot be predicated on a thinly spread distribution of any additional investment because of the scale and pace of our competitors. The hard reality is that the rest of the world is not waiting for Australia, and if we play catch-up politics internally waiting a few more decades in some vain hope that the Dawkins reforms will eventually give every university a place in the sun we may well be watching the world from the sidelines," he says. Professor Chubb nominates five prerequisites for an education revolution: substantive policy reform and tough decision-making; going beyond the "stretched" ranks of the public service to the university community for policy ideas; more public funding and greater cost-effectiveness; community support; and a clear vision. He commends Labor's pre-election commitment to mission-based funding compacts, in which universities are better able to respond flexibly to market demand and areas of strength as well as Labor's plans to link compact funding to tightened access to research funding and training on the basis of verified research quality.
Junk Science: Mayor Gloomberg
After speaking at a United Nations meeting on global warming, Bloomberg told reporters, "Terrorists kill people. Weapons of mass destruction have the potential to kill an enormous amount of people, but global warming in the long term has the potential to kill everybody." He continued, "We should go after terrorists every place in this world, find them and kill them, plain and simple. [If weapons of mass destruction] get out of the hands of the countries that have them and get into the hands of terrorists, the potential is just mind-boggling … [and while global warming] is a much longer-term thing … [it] has all of the same potentials of destroying the planet that we live on. "No scientist knows for sure what's going to happen, but you don't want to wait to find out." While we easily could write-off Bloomberg's comments as simply inane hyperbole, they're really quite irresponsible for a public official to make as they're not based on any sort of scientific reality — even in the weird reference frame of standard climate hysteria.
