Bernardo and Homolka are good for headlines in the Sun everytime Homolka gets a change of prison uniform or make a request to the warden. Funny they don't blow about Bernardo at all and he was the one who was supposed to have done all the killing. Just goes to show behind every great man there is a women who made him what he is. She is getting out of prison soon, ans said she wants to look for a boyfriend. She used to be in my group therapy circle and maybe I can arrange a date for you. They never lived out west, but they often said they planned to. Does that count? Worst worst worst serial murderers are in England. (I said almost never in Europe, but I mean continental Europe.) A kind old doctor I think named Shipley(sp?) mercifully put away over 150 old people who were next to dying and they gratefully allowed him to falsify their wills, and take out gobs of insurance on them with him as sole beneficiary. Nice guy. He even gave them medication to make them go quicker and made it untraceable so that it did not upset the relatives. Government allowed him a life pension, free cigarettes and hostelry. I would say any physician that works with old people or seeks out patients of substance and age should bear a little bit of investigation. I can think of a few on this side of the pond who have that habit. It is not rare that people end up leaving lots in their wills to doctors who take care of them in their dotage. It is often these wills are changed in later life. hmmmmmm.. EC<:-}

Moneynews.com Forget Deflation: Inflation Next Enemy Despite the joyous eight-week rally in the stock market and some improving economic data, observers say the specter of deflation continues to hover above Wall Street and one economic strategy out of deflation may be inflation. Aaron Task of TheStreet.com says Fed officials have strained to show they understand the threat of deflation and that they will take whatever steps necessary to combat its onset. Whether it's printing new money or using other deflation fighting tools, the Fed will not allow the U.S. economy to deflate as long as Greenspan's Fed is in power. And that could mean inflation. Portfolio managers tell Task that the U.S. has already seen inflation hit bottom and thorugh 2003 it should be upticking. They attribute their outlook to the growth in the monetary base, which is a more primitive measure of the money supply, than the much-observed money supply figure, known as M2. The intense concern about deflation stems from Wall Street and investors' overemphasis on the tech sector. Task notes deflation fears subsided once the Nasdaq Composite rallied more than 30 percent and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index leapt more than 70 percent from their October lows. Still, noted economists are concerned about the possible threat of inflation as a tactic - or result - of the Fed's efforts in fighting deflation. Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman foresees an inflationary uptick if the degree of monetary growth continues, and suggests that inflation is a much more serious problem. These outlooks have spawned portfolio managers to express their concerns over investing in bonds, and quip, "the bond market's salad days are over."
