"On Friday, June 5, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported the latest US unemployment statistics for May 2009. The U-3 definition of unemployment, the one most commonly cited, rose to 9.4% while the U-6 unemployment rate rose to 15.9%. Had unemployment rates been computed by the same methodology that the BLS previously used up into the early Clinton administration, the reported unemployment rate would have been more than 20 percent! For the 46th time of the past 48 monthly unemployment reporting dates, the price of gold was clobbered, and in no uncertain terms. The Comex closed with gold at $961.75 and silver at $15.38 that day.
On Saturday, June 6, the three-day St. Petersburg International Economic Forum concluded in Russia. Sponsored by Russia, the conference was attended by officials from China, India, Brazil, and a number of other nations, though the US was specifically excluded. During a panel discussing reserve currencies, John Lipsky, the IMF First Deputy Managing Director, dropped a bombshell when he said that it would be possible to take the "revolutionary" step of creating a new global reserve currency to replace the dollar over time.
The IMF’s Special Drawing Rights could be adapted for use as the new currency. Lipsky said, "There are many, many attractions in the long run to such an outcome … But this is not a quick, short or easy decision."
Such a currency would be issued by an international organization that would be equivalent to a global central bank.
According to the IMF, nearly 70 percent of the world’s currency reserves are now held in U.S. dollars. This leaves foreign central banks exposed to weakness in the U.S. economy and likely high inflation. Another speaker at this panel, Ousmene Mandeng, the head of Ashmore Investment Management, Ltd., stated, "The largest debtor is very unlikely to dominate any currency arrangement today."

I haven’t seen it anywhere else.
You are a little late in hearing this.
There are plans in place to make 4 separate currencies.
The Euro, The Amero, An African nations ( official name Unknown), and an Asian NAtions ( Also Unknown)
Then Shortly afterward, Combine them all into one currency.
This has been the goal of the people with power for a while. It will help ease there ability to control the masses.
Just in case you didn’t know… The FEDERAL Reserve is not a FEDERAL operation at all, but Private bankers, that govern our very lives without the check and balances of Government.
Don’t be misled
Read ( or YOUTUBE )
CFR, NWO, Amero, Federal Reserve, ZEITGEIST the MOVIE…
Do some research on these topics..
You may want to start with the ZEITGEIST Movie first… there are two versions you need to watch both. And really only part 3 of the first one. That is about the Federal Reserve.
GOOD LUCK

Should i go for an international warranty for laptop bought in US? If so, how much would it cost me?
yes.. I would suggest you do. I got a HP from the states, it cost me a little over $750, so i figured I’d skip the international warranty, 6 months after I got back to India the graphics card went kaput. Now since I dint have international warranty, It would cost me close to $100 to send to the states have it fixed and sent back.
I tried authorised services centers, It first went to cochin in Kerala, and now its been in Hyderabad for about a month and a half!
I don’t remember how much the additional costs was. anyway it would have changed now. Get it if you can!
I was just wondering how much money one is allowed to bring on an international flight. I am only planning on bringing a few hundred dollars in the local currency. Is that allowed?
If you’re departing from the US, you basically can bring as much as you want, but you will need to fill out a form and declare any amounts of $10,000 and over. As the previous answer said, all countries vary as far as the amount you can bring in without declaring the amount, a few hundred of local currency is fine and you should have no problem almost anywhere almost anywhere in the world.
I know you’re not allowed to smoke on domestic flights. But what about international flights? Does it depend on the airline or the country you’re flying to? I want to fly from Arizona to South Africa (where I have relatives). Since I’m a smoker, I don’t like the thought of going on an extremely long trip without being allowed to smoke. Does anybody know about this?
Smoking is not allowed in any flights no matter where you’re traveling to.
I will be attending a seminar in Denver this October.
I would like to ask is there any public transport that could bring me to Tech Center, precisely near Sheraton Tech Center hotel. I think I will lodge around that area.
Please offer websites or personal experiences on ‘em.
Thanks.

It seems to be questionable. From their web site, the contacts are in Minett, a cottage community in Ontario – not even a large corporate center. The web site posts an incorrect postal code for Minett. Their area code for that area is either 905 or 705, not that 206 code they list under their pictures (of the contact people in Minett). Area code 206 is actually Washington State. The "bookings" seem to be for a western Africa country’s hotel.
Visas are not required for most visitors to Canada – again falsehoods in the letter…
Way too many "ifs" on this one, I smell rat…. To boot, they have this phrase in their travel arrangements on their web page:
"The Canadian Homeland security force will be assigned to the international conference venues both in the Canada and in Cape-Verde Island."
There is no such thing as a "Homeland Security" in Canada, that’s an American thing…
I suspect they want to get your credit card numbers…
I really really want to attend this school, but….i’m concerned about what will happen as soon as i graduate from the school. for instance, will i be excepted into a hot new clothing label,can i come out with my own? where do i go when i graduate? should I go to a four year college first before i attend this school? please help…
if i was you i would go to a four year school, but if you dont have the time the IADT would do, dont expect a lot or get your hopes up too high you could start your own clothing business yes but it would be very hard, you can also work for a fashion company that is already out there but you would have a small chance of getting the job, you could get a good job at Macys at a buyer, or something like that, at a fashion company as a consultant,
Here’s a few of some of them:
1) The first female President of India is elected.

4) The NBA Championship was won by The San Antonio Spurs.
5) Tony Blair steps down as PM of the UK.
6) The Concert for Diana (Princess of Wales) was held.
7) The Canadian Grand Prix was won by Lewis Hamilton.
Stars perform at Live Earth concerts held around the world.
9) The NHL’s Championship was won by The Anaheim Ducks
10) Madeleine McCann’s disappearance received world wide coverage.
I want to know the name of editors of the proceedings? and is there a paper titled "Prediction of flow stress of az61 alloy at hot deformation" by Solhjoo S.??? If this paper is published I really need its page paper.
To look in academic papers, you need to get off google and into research databases such as "Refworks" – or into the academic journals of that science.
I might suggest hitting a library and searching by author for the above author and see if that turns up any works for you in the journals….
