Keeping track of online passwords is wise to do
Dear Abby: Allow me to draw your readers' attention to the importance of keeping track of their online log-in information. We all know it's smart to keep photocopies of our driver's license, credit cards, etc. With as much time as some of us spend online, in addition to the billions of dollars we spend there as a nation, it's wise to keep track of sundry log-in details as well. I keep track of the various Web sites from which I make purchases -- the Web site name, user name and my password -- because various Web sites require different information. Please suggest that your readers compile this information in a single document and print it out from time to time. Keep a hard copy in a safe place with other important papers. That way, if anything should happen to them, family members will be able to access these Web sites, delete saved credit card information and close the accounts.

Yoga helps young offenders deal with stress
CIRCUMSTANCES landed them in Juvenile Hall and many are angry. Some have been traumatized by violence. Some are coming off addictions. Just about all worry about what is next in their lives. These extreme stresses experienced by incarcerated youth are why county health officials thought yoga would help. So, each morning, 20 teenagers in the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center, Unit 6, participate in hour-long yoga classes. The classes are taught by Niroga Institute, an Oakland-based nonprofit whose purpose is to bring yoga to at-risk youth and other groups that might benefit from the discipline but are unlikely to seek it out, such as senior citizens and cancer patients. The teenagers in the program are in a unit for recently detained teens awaiting hearings. They also are youth who have been identified as needing assistance with mental health issues.
Jeff Thelen's Blog
Do you have any ideas to save money? We ran a couple of stories this week talking about the tough economic times that could lie ahead. And we heard some great advice from experts and the people putting them into action. They say you need to write down a budget and stick with it. Save money and take advantage of your 401k plan as much as possible. Other advice is find hobbies that don't cost as much money (play basketball instead of buying video games) cut down on your number of stops per week at your favorite high end coffee shop and read stuff off the internet instead of subscribing to a magazine. So, do you have any ideas? Feel free to share them. You know what to do. J Respond to Jeff's blog here: Jeff, I saw the clip on "Hunters Coalition Against Earn-A-Buck" and am looking for contact info.
Tight "Money"
Credit markets are trading at levels which imply that investors assume that the US is heading for a recession, bank analysts and economists have warned. 'Recession is getting priced in,' said Jan Loeys, economist at JPMorgan, adding that markets went into 'virtual panic mode' last week. 'Pressure is building for central banks to become a lot more active and vocal [this] week if they want to avert a collapse in credit markets.'... Peter Sutherland, chairman of both Goldman Sachs International and BP, joined those voicing concern. 'The US economy is in a mess... There is a whole big issue...which has not fully played out in regard to providing credit and liquidity to institutions, so I think it is a dangerous period for the world. I think we are going to go through next year, certainly the first half of next year, with considerable traumas.'" November 28 - Financial Times (Michael Mackenzie and Saskia Scholtes): "Investor flight from anything bearing the taint of the US subprime mortgage crisis has pushed financial companies debt to its weakest versus US Treasuries in more than five years.
