The city in the western prefecture of Osaka – currently called Izumisano – owes its creditors well over 100 billion yen (£775 million), the official said, adding the presence of nearby Kansai International Airport was partly to blame.
“The city spent a lot of money building roads and other infrastructure because the airport was built in this relatively remote place,” he said on condition of anonymity.

From Businessweek:
Ask most people which city they would most want to live in and usually their answers would be shaped by such realities as proximity to their jobs and what they can afford.
But suppose you could choose to live anywhere you wanted regardless of cost? What if you could live in a city that offered a wealth of culture, entertainment, good schools, low crime, and plenty of green space? Many [...]
From The Reformed Broker:
Each week we are treated to another pontification about why Americans are dumping or avoiding stocks. Most are written by non-market participants, often with the input from Ivory Tower institutional investors or a smattering of quotes from amateur traders. The journalists are trying to wrap a story around the undeniable data, endeavoring to explain the unthinkable. Andrew Ross Sorkin came up to bat this morning. His version [...]

Mark Worsfold, 54, a former soldier and martial arts instructor, was arrested on 28 July for a breach of the peace shortly before the cyclists arrived in Redhouse Park, Leatherhead, where he had sat down on a wall [...]

Britain could become the first country to fly a tourist around the moon, after an Isle of Man-based company announced that it would be ready to take passengers on private lunar expeditions by 2015.
Excalibur Almaz will charge wannabe astronauts an average of £100m for a six-eight month journey exploring deep space.

From Eric Peters:
The police state is not only here – it is being welcomed with open arms.
Exhibit A: In Aurora, Colorado, police searching for suspected bank robbers locked down an entire intersection, dragooned 40 random motorists out of their cars at gunpoint, handcuffed them, and “asked” for permission to search their vehicles.

Hey gang –
Was at the Homestead today, helping D put some massive rafters up over this carport-like frame alongside the barn house. We’re going to enclose it and it might become the “apartment” in which Mrs. Sager & I live while we go about building a separate, proper residence up there. (We may also convert the garage/workshop into an apartment for the same purpose — and D would move his workshop into [...]

There Will Never Be a “Good” Time For Greece To Default
I have been a proponent that Greece should default sooner rather than later for a long time. At first most people argued that Greece would never have to default. Now many people argue that Greece should default, but now isn’t a good time. The argument goes that Europe needs time [...]
