O/T - good morning, AJ.

I have a neighbor whose orthopaedic surgeon in Bombay, India backed out on the scheduled surgery in 30 days for three separate joint repairs.

You have any ideas how we could secure contact info. for such surgeons in the Bombay vicinity?

....the airfare and other travel arrangements have already been finalized.

This patient is having difficulty finding a surgeon or someone at the hospital to actually call her back and talk about scheduling options with a new surgeon.

thanks. Googling has not worked to assist this process she reports.

ajtj: I think the selling for redemptions is basically taken care of.

I will concede some hedge funds are talking down the redemptions such as Citi. I see that as Paulson did, talking up the economy until it fell off the cliff. Then you see articles like this...

I suspect a lot of the money that gets pulled out of hedge funds will hesitate to get back in the market for a while...
