She can't stop, won't stop
Miley Cyrus 2013 VMAs. SPIN.COM
Sometimes the mind attaches itself to an ideal to the point where nothing can discredit it. Any attempt to do so is met with scorn and harsh public vitriol. At present time, this may as well be known as the "Miley Cyrus Theory".
By now, most people have undoubtedly subjected themselves to the video of Cyrus' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, which took place on August 25, 2013 in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center. The former Disney Channel star came out for her performance of her new hit single "We Can't Stop", in a rather skimpy outfit designed to resemble a bear. The entire three-minute performance involved her dancing seductively with people costumed as bears. Look it up yourself and be the judge as to how disturbing it truly is.
Somehow, things manage to get more shocking for the average audience member. Robin Thicke trotted out to perform his summer hit, "Blurred Lines". As the camera pans back to Cyrus, still on stage, she no longer looks like an overly sensual teddy bear. She had completely stripped down to a bra and underwear, both the color of her skin, and had a foam finger extending from her right arm.
What happened next set the social media world on fire. It began with Cyrus rubbing the foam finger up against her nether regions. Quickly, that foam finger switches from the private parts of the lady to the private parts of the man, Thicke. The most egregious offence came when Cyrus decided to shake her rump all over the crotch of Thicke. Hannah Montana, she is not.
Let's get the obvious out of the way: some of this was meant to come off as a publicity stunt. Just days later, the single "Wrecking Ball" was released from her upcoming album "Bangerz", set to be released in October. The VMA performance resulted in everybody around America talking about her, so if that was her intent, it was successful. The preorder for the album is ranked #31 on iTunes' top-selling albums as of Sunday night, even though it doesn't get released for another month.
There's no doubt as to the fact she was a show stealer for the night. The VMAs were supposed to be about Justin Timberlake reuniting his 'N Sync band mates (and then breaking them apart two and a half minutes later). Instead, the news coverage the next day (and in a time when the United States was on the verge of ordering an attack in Syria) at the top of the morning show programs was the discussion of the loss of innocence of a wholesome performer.
This is an unfair reaction to the performance. Cyrus is propped upon a pedestal because of her past history as a good girl with a show on a children's television network. She's a performer headed into the prime of her career, and she wants to reform her image. There is nothing wrong with that.
She has yet to become the charity case others have developed into at her age. She's no Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes, or Justin Bieber. There's a chance she could go sour; she has admitted to experimenting with various types of drugs. At the moment, however, she just wants to bring her career in a new direction, and it's her prerogative to do so.
Some complained her performance was ill-suited for the children who idolize her as a role model. This is true, but whenever the word role model comes up, many people immediately turn to former basketball star Charles Barkley: "I am not a role model".
Miley's career is changing, and that could be for better or for worse. Enjoy the ride, and don't criticize her until she really does something wrong. It may not have been her most appropriate moment, but it shouldn't have shaken the world the way it did.

President Obama on Monday formally announced that Thomas Perez was his pick for labor secretary, setting up a potentially bruising confirmation battle. But this time the damage may spread to both sides of the aisle, hurting the GOP just as it embarks on a much-ballyhooed reboot of the Republican brand.
For the GOP, whose rebranding effort is partly aimed at winning over minority voters, the timing could not be worse. Perez is loathed by some on the right for his perceived pro-immigration positions, and his nomination could spark an ugly intra-party battle over the issue.
Even before Obama made the nomination official, some conservatives were already railing against the pick. Perez heads the Department of Justice's civil rights division, which for years was fraught with "deep ideological polarization," as a report from one watchdog group put it. His work on immigration cases — like the department's lawsuit against notorious anti-immigration enforcer Sheriff Joe Arpaio — has made him a villain on the right, with critics accusing him of being a "radical, race-bating" extremist. Michelle Malkin encapsulated that sentiment in a post knocking the nomination, calling Perez "Obama's Nominee for Secretary of (Illegal Alien) Labor."
In addition, his department came under fire for allegedly dropping a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers for political reasons. That claim was dismissed before Perez even joined the division, though he has still been faulted for his handling of the aftermath.
An extended debate over Perez's record would almost certainly result in a discussion of immigration policy as a whole, highlighting the deep divisions within the GOP on that issue. The party leadership has made it clear they are eager to craft a more centrist message, but some members remain vehemently opposed to that idea.
The Republican National Committee released a withering "autopsy" on Monday that concluded the party had to do far more to woo minority voters, particularly the nation's growing Latino population. As part of a major rebranding, the RNC nominally endorsed immigration reform and announced a $10 million minority outreach effort.
Yet that effort will be complicated if party members go rogue during the confirmation process, and insist on a long, contentious fight to block what would be Obama's only Latino cabinet member. Judging from the intense battle over Chuck Hagel's nomination to serve as defense secretary, which played well politically for Republican senators with the conservative base, it's more than likely that a fight is in store over Perez, too.
Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) has already announced that he plans to place a hold on the nomination, ensuring Perez's record will get a thorough review. And Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ariz.), a staunch opponent of amnesty and looser immigration laws, slammed the nomination as "needlessly divisive" and accused Perez of "aggressively [seeking] ways to allow the hiring of more illegal workers."
The party's rebrand has already run into opposition from prominent conservative voices, with Rush Limbaugh panning the autopsy report and urging Republicans to disregard it. An internal fight over immigration, played out publicly in the confirmation process, could further undermine the national GOP's drive to craft a more inclusive message.

Detroit Faces A Hunger Crisis Where 25% Can Afford Only One Meal A Day
Go To Original
Non-profit organizations in Detroit say they are struggling to keep a massive part of the population from starving, reports Detroit News:
By 2013, one out of four people in the region won't know where two of their daily meals will come from, according to the United Way for Southeastern Michigan. In 2009, there were 706,000 people hungry in Metro Detroit; by 2013, 952,000 people could be in need.
These are the people who will suffer most with any rise in food prices. Meanwhile, Detroit remains blighted by over 13% unemployment, which economists don't expect to drop for years. Despite GM's IPO and fancy new electric car.

But the cost of licensing movies and TV shows could produce a Q4 loss.
Revenue, the number of new subscribers and the amount of revenue from streaming digital entertainment all trended higher for Netflix Inc. in the third quarter. But Netflix is also spending heavily to grow those top-line metrics and increased profits only nominally in the third quarter. What's more, the e-retailer is already warning the company could end the year with a loss.
For the third quarter ended Sept. 30, Netflix, No. 9 in the 2012 Internet Retailer Top 500 reported:
- Revenue grew by 1.8% to $905.1 million from $889.3 million in the third quarter of 2011.
- Net income grew year over year 24.2% to $7.7 million from $6.2 million.
- Total subscribers, including domestic and international, increased 25.7% to 31.8 million from 25.3 million in the third quarter of 2011.
- Total U.S subscribers increased 15.5% to 27.5 million from 23.8 million in the third quarter of 2011.
- International subscribers grew year over year 186.7% to 4.3 million from 1.5 million.
Netflix, which continues to add new overseas markets such as Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, is spending heavily to grow its digital streaming business and its cadre of entertainment content providers, says CEO Reed Hastings. "While we are not growing membership as fast as in 2010, we think that over time nearly all U.S. households will be broadband households, nearly all video will be Internet video, and that as our content and member experience continue to improve faster than competitors, our long-term domestic market opportunity remains two to three times that of linear HBO," Hastings says.
Netflix increased its U.S. base of digital entertainment streaming customers by 17.3% to 25.1 million from 21.4 million. But the company is spending heavily and as a result posted a big a drop in profits for the first nine months of the year.
For the first three quarters:
- Revenue increased year over year 14.7% to $2.66 billion from $2.32 billion.
- Net income declined year over year 95.1% to $9.3 million from $190.9 million.
"Our movement into original programming will require more up-front cash payments than our typical content licensing agreements, beginning in Q4 and increasing in 2013," Hastings says.
For the fourth quarter Netflix projects net income could total $2 million or a loss of up to $13 million. The company didn't give guidance on total revenue but expected domestic paid streaming revenue to range from $581 million to $588 million, international streaming from $90 million to $100 million and domestic DVD subscriber revenue to range from $248 million to $255 million.
"We believe Internet TV will grow for the next few decades and that some firms will build extremely valuable businesses providing consumers an incredible, personalized Internet TV experience," Hasting says. "Internet TV is the future of television and we are leading the change."

Just a wee post to let you all know my new short story is out and available now. Here's the gist and opening chapter:
Arch Fry is not depressed; his life is just shit!
Arch, an altogether confused and angry young man, finds himself sat in "group therapy" when the arrival of the beautifully mysterious Amber Jones threatens to change everything!
Depressed: Who is, who isn't, and what's either question got to do with tatty knickers and milk? Find out all the answers in this offbeat tale that at times is more schizophrenic than a pill-popping blubber mouth called Ruth.
I am not depressed; my life is just shit. As a consequence of my not being depressed, I am not like them. You need to know this from the very off. You need to know I, Arch Fry, will not allow myself to be neatly pigeonholed, erroneously labelled or closed off in some tidy little box – one to be shelved away and conveniently forgotten about.
No, I am not depressed: NOT. DEPRESSED.
You see, I'm just not stuck in some deep unassailable chasm like all the rest, like all these other poor fuckers who've so readily accepted that noose of a word.
'Oh Ruth, perhaps you could tell us why you're so upset tonight?'
'Well Janet… I'm… I'm going to a wedding next weekend and I realised today I have absolutely nothing to wear.'
'Oh really, Ruth, nothing at all?'
'No, not one single thing.'
'Hm, there must be something? Perhaps a dress that's fallen down at the back of the wardrobe?'
'No, Janet, there really isn't and… and I really looked, but there's simply nothing; not a single stitch to wear!'
I'm sat here listening to Ruth cry her heart out, and yet crying isn't quite right. Ruth is sobbing uncontrollably. In fact watching Ruth sob away is quite a spectacle: a six-foot hunched woman who sports a bulbous broken-looking nose (a sizable conk that wouldn't appear out-of-place on a professional boxer). Actually, I reluctantly watch her big, fat and silent tears stream down her mottled cheeks; tears almost as big and fat as her plump limbs. Of course, her life is shit too, but there's no denying on top of her totally fucked-up existence, Ruth has allowed herself to become pigeonholed, labelled and marginalised; to forever more play out the role of a pill popping blubber mouth.
'Everything I have is so old and tatty and… and I realised all my knickers are so completely wrong too. There I was going through all my drawers, and it all felt… it all felt too much!'
'Oh, Ruth, you really must try not worry so much about knickers.'
I almost laugh at the mention of knickers, and yet I hold it in, remaining distant, always detached.
The "knicker" reply was Janet, though. She's the counsellor and leader of this mental menagerie: another middle-aged, lower-middle-class woman currently wearing her "I understand" face.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! I hate that face, that smarmy look of hers. I hate it because I know the subtext, how it smacks of Janet both appreciating Ruth is upset, but also she is a bit silly and daft to feel this way, you know, over something so damn trivial as twisting or tatty knickers. In fact, it's a near permanent expression which Janet adopts when talking to Ruth, or any of us mentals. A mix somewhere between smug and patronising as she placates us with her wholesome superiority.
'Well, I've decided to throw away all the knickers I hate in an act of rebellion. It's a product of my waste not want not upbringing.'
'I think that's something positive, Ruth.'
'If I hate them, they're going,' Ruth declares with a sense of desperate purpose. 'Maybe someone will have use of my knickers?'
Janet frowns, 'well I'm not sure about that, Ruth, but certainly making changes is a good thing,' Janet adds, and for good measure there's that face again.
The thing is, I for one know Janet loves all this: EVERY FUCKING MINUTE! There she sits amongst us diagnosed 'crazies', always so safe in the knowledge that we are all here because we have to be and she, smug foie-gras eating cunt, is here as the sole representative of assumed normalcy.
I screw my hands into fists and have to tell myself to calm right down: calm down, Archie boy… just breathe, never forget to breathe!
'I went through my wardrobe and I wanted to cry. I… I just want to go to this wedding and look like I've made a real effort.'
'Perhaps a simple dress would be enough, Ruth?'
'I only have tee-shirts and nothing else.'
'Well as the poet Shelley once said if you feel depressed put on a fresh shirt.'
That's Malcolm. He has severe anger issues, or at least he had severe anger issues. Ever since they upped his medication he has lost his edge: his anger worn thin, coming out the other side as a more morose melancholy. To be honest, I preferred the damn anger. I mean, at least it was real and not so controlled, so phoney and insane.
'I just want to look nice. Just once in my life I don't want to be the fat girl everyone feels sorry for,' Ruth shares, sobbing ever harder.
'There there, Ruth, let it all out.'
Ruth takes Janet's instruction literally as she blows her big conk of a nose on a tissue – sounding like a bull elephant in the process.
'I'm having extreme nightmares too, which I think must be because I forgot to take my medicine on Tuesday, and my body is all of a sudden going arhahrhrarharhhar.'
'Ruth we've talked about this. You MUST take your medicine!' Janet says all of a sudden less sympathetic and altogether stern. 'You really must make sure you take it every single day or you know what happens.'
Ruth nods meekly and blows her nose some more.
I screw my hands into fists as Ruth continues to cry: FUCK MEDICATION, FUCK YOU, JANET! You see I know Ruth isn't crying because she is clinically depressed. Not really. No, instead she is crying because she really does have no clothes to wear, because she really is misshapen, her conk of a nose really is deformed, because… because society really can be so damn cruel and has labelled her the "fat girl" her whole damn life. Clinical depression: forget it. Ruth does not need to take their medication, Ruth needs to find a new society.
'Nightmares aren't always a bad sign though.'
It's Malcolm again.
'They're very weird and unusual nightmares, like all about pressure and in my last one my old uncle was turning into a spider.'
'Those with the greatest awareness have the greatest nightmares,' Malcolm says proffering a kind of sage wisdom.
'Who said that?'
'The great Gandhi I think… or maybe it was Noel Edmonds?'
'Yes, thank you, Malcolm,' an annoyed Janet chimes in. 'And thank you Noel Edmonds, but perhaps you could let me give the advice, after all I am paid and qualified to help you all,' Janet says sounding altogether pompous. 'And that is to say, with the best will in the world, I sincerely doubt Mr Gandhi or even Noel Edmonds have the appropriate certification!' she further admonishes, and thinking herself tremendously clever for her little joke at the end.
I kick my hells as Malcolm weakly replied: 'erm, right, of course, I was just saying…' he says so pathetically.
'Yes, thank you, Malcolm.'
I shake my head at Malcolm. I despair at the man, he really has lost his edge.
'Now, Ruth, we did agree you would be keeping a log of your dreams and nightmares, yes?'
'I did. I promise I did, but then… but then I spilt milk all over it and I got in a fuddle trying to dry it. Now it's home on top of mum's Aga.'
'I see.'
'At one point I thought it would make me cry and it just didn't make any sense because they say don't cry over spilt milk, but that's utter nonsense isn't it? I'd say of all the liquids not to cry over milk is the absolute worst…'
I notice Janet seems to be considering Ruth's ramblings.
'…water, don't cry over spilt water or even tea, which isn't an unmitigated disaster, but to clean up milk is an absolute nightmare. It goes EVERYWHERE and it pongs for days.'
Janet now shakes her head, rolling her eyes and giving into a sigh. This look suggests she should be counselling the rich and famous and not stuck in this village scout hut offering support to this small bunch of emotional derelicts.
'But, Ruth, that isn't the point of the phrase, is it?'
'I don't know. I really don't know, Janet.'
'When we say don't cry over spilt milk, well, we mean you shouldn't cry over everyday small concerns, as opposed to more…' Janet lifts her fingers to indicate the inverted commas, "more serious matters."
Further silence looms. I loudly sigh and shake my irritated bonce as Malcolm offers his thoughts once more.
'Well quite frankly I'd rather spill a little blood than milk,' Malcolm says with a dream-like distant look in his eyes. 'Blood smells nice, doesn't it?'
'Oh yes, sorry Janet.'
'I hardly feel talking about blood is a suitable topic of discussion, especially considering your… shall we say "history?"'
'Er, no, quite right; quite right, Janet,' Malcolm sheepishly fumbles as his corn-beef-coloured cheeks turn a deeper red purple. 'I'm very sorry, everyone!' he adds meekly, his balls so far sucked up into his gut, I half expect to see them popping out of his mouth.
'That's okay, Malcolm. And thank you for sharing your thoughts with the group, Ruth,' Janet finally says ever so measurably as she now smiles inanely to herself – checking her notes on her clipboard.
I feel irked. I kick my feet and rock on my chair some more.
'Now, Archibald, how are you this evening?'
I don't reply.
I sigh loudly, letting some of my hostility seep out with it.
'Do you have anything to share with the group?'
I shrug, not even making eye contact with Janet.
'It'd be lovely if you shared how you're feeling tonight, Archibald?'
I shake my head but turn toward Janet, 'I don't feel anything. I feel fine.'
'Please engage with the process like everyone else, Archibald.'
I sigh again, and this time I really mean it as I further snap, 'it's Arch,' I say. 'You know it's Arch. I've been coming here for six months and you still don't get my damn name right?'
'I – I beg your pardon, young man?'
'I said…'
'Yes, I'm aware what you said, but please don't swear. You may feel comfortable and at home with vulgarity, but it's important to consider the feelings of other people apart from ourselves.'
I roll my eyes.
'A lesson you would do well to learn…'
'Look, Jan,' I interrupt, 'I'm here because I have no choice. I'm here because my life is fucked up and… and I don't give a damn about your cunting bullshit process.'
Janet looks beyond shocked.
'No young man, you're here because you stole a car and tried, well, you tried to kill yourself, didn't you?'
The room falls silent, other than the thoughts shouting in my head: CUNT! THAT CUNT!THAT UTTER CUNT!
'Most times suicide is a cry for help, isn't it?' Malcolm all of a sudden suggests, framing it as a question for Janet.
'FUCK OFF, MALCOLM!' I burst, this time out loud.
'I'm just saying…'
'FUCK OFF!' I now yell. 'ALL OF YOU JUST FUCK RIGHT OFF!'
My anger has exploded like a frustrated grenade on the sticky-floored community hall. I couldn't stop it going off. I feel annoyed at myself as a further uncomfortable silence looms and Janet just smiles, scribbling down notes down on her clipboard and papers.
'I'll be informing your counsellor of both your threatening language and your shouting this evening, Archibald,' she says all matter of fact.
'I don't give a shit!'
'I'm writing it all in my report and he will be made aware of all of it.'
Janet scribbles some more, demonstrably ticking away.
'Just fuck right off, Jan!' I almost spit, my face screwed up, along with my fists, and I face the floor like a petulant school boy.
'Well group, since Archibald is behaving rather childishly, refusing to open up, perhaps you could tell us why you're here…' Janet begins to say, before consulting her clipboard for a name: 'Amber is it?'
I look toward Amber for a fleeting second before returning my gaze toward my scuffed up trainers. It's the new girl: she has a pale face, dark raven hair, slim waist and massive pushed out tits.
There's no response from Amber.
'Perhaps you have something to share with the group?'
No reply.
'Amber, it's important you share with the group and…' Janet says but the new girl suddenly interrupts, and her voice is so soft and quiet as she speaks.
'I was raped,' Amber almost whispers into the room.
Of course, the ensuing silence is deafening – almost as if all the noise in the world has suddenly been muted. I mean, if my earlier tantrum was a grenade, those three words are a full-on nuclear strike.
'Oh I'm… I'm so very sorry to hear that, Amber. Perhaps that's something you'd prefer to discuss in private, was it your doctor who suggested you come or…'
'I was raped,' Amber interrupts, ignoring Janet's sympathy and questions. 'He raped me twice and left me crying on the floor of my kitchen.'
I stare at Amber; her eyes are full of steel as she delivers such powerful words, almost thrown down amongst us like a heavy chainmail gauntlet.
'I know him. I know where he works. I know where he lives, and I'm going to kill him.'
The words are razor-sharp in their honesty. This is my truth. This is what I'm going to do. Fuck you if I care what you think.

A Very Average Rose Champagne
Bollinger Rose is a rather disappointing Champagne. Although some might consider its pink colour pleasing to the eye due to the high percentage of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in the blend, it lacks the subtlety & complex flavours of many other Champagnes below £60. Moreover, Bollinger Rose also has an astringent and not entirely pleasant after taste due to the adjunction of red wine. Thus, I cannot recommend this wine and would say there are other Champagnes at Ocado that represent far better value for money.

LEBANON — City and state officials gathered Tuesday at Lebanon High School's Herman B Wells community center to look into the city's opportunities to be more welcoming to walkers, runners and bicyclists.
The Active Living Workshop, held by the Indiana State Department of Health and Health by Design, is aimed at educating and motivating city leaders to open the door to active transportation opportunities around the city. The city was able to hold the workshop after receiving a $6,500 grant from the ISDH.
The workshop began with three presenters by the state health department and Health by Design, a coalition that works to create environments that foster healthy living. Lebanon's Planning Director Charlie Campbell brought the grant and workshop to the city, and he said Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 4, that the workshop was going well.
Presenters spoke on several topics like education, and what the city will need to learn before going further into the process of creating healthy living environments, Campbell said. They spoke on simple actions, like re-striping streets to add a bike lane, that can make a big difference.
About 25 people involved in the workshop then took a walking audit, walking city streets and sidewalks to get a feel for where Lebanon currently ranks. The group walked from the high school to Lebanon Memorial Park, walking around the park, and then returning via Meridian Street and Essex Drive. Campbell said the park was rated highly, but the group had to walk on city streets outside the park due to the snow.
In the last eight years, Campbell said every single plan study the city has had done included something about pedestrian activity and including a trail system."We've tried over and over again to implement a sidewalk replacement program or something similar, and it's been nearly impossible," he said. "I hope eyes are now being opened to possibilities."Kelly Cook of the Lebanon Department of Parks said she hopes to see a bike lane included on city streets in the future, going from Abner Longley Park to Lebanon Memorial Park. Especially with the new city pool, she said, that would be a great addition for older children.

Hotel Ibis in Southampton was evacuated after a fire alarm
8:30pm Wednesday 18th June 2014 in News By Joe Curtis, Health Reporter
MORE than a hundred people were evacuated from a Southampton hotel this evening over a fire scare.
Seven appliances from across the city raced to Hotel Ibis off West Quay Road at around 7 after fire alarms went off throughout the building.
But after a 30-minute inspection of the building no fire was found and guests were allowed to return.
A spokesman for the fire service said: "In the end we put it down to a problem with the alarm system as they went off again when we were resetting them. It came through to us as a fire because a member of staff said they saw smoke but we did not find anything."
Hotel staff confirmed the alarm and that guests were evacuated as a safety procedure but declined to comment further.
Three appliances attended from St Mary's Fire Station and one each from Hightown and Redbridge, with the special equipment unit and elevated platform also on the scene.

Narrow your search
The Sony Alpha SLT-A99V is a generally great camera that's equally adept at both stills and video, but with a few caveats.
Pricing not available
In the battle for your full-frame SLR dollar, Sony brings out the A99 with some big perks for video fans and stills photographers alike.
Typical price: $2,999.00
The full-frame RX1 compact camera is official, plus the wraps come off the NEX-6 and A99 SLR.
A new Sony camera is incoming, and it looks like the follow-up to the A77.
Nikon offers a little bit of everything in this update to its pro full-frame camera series.
Pricing not available
It's kind of an oddball -- a full-frame camcorder that requires an adapter for full-frame lenses -- but it's sure to garner some attention.
The company pulls out all the stops with its fall camera and camcorder announcements.
Sony has posted the first official photos taken with its full-frame compact camera, the RX1.
The most interesting thing about the new model is its ability to work with the new power zoom lenses.
Pricing not available
The Sony RX1 full-frame compact camera may be out of the reach of mere mortals, but we still have the opportunity to see how it gets put together.

Old Dominion University Releases Ninth Annual State of the Region Report
Old Dominion University's ninth annual State of the Region report examines a wide array of Hampton Roads issues, ranging from the economy to care for the mentally ill.
Published by ODU's Regional Studies Institute, the report also looks at how local television stations cover crime and violence, and offers a review of the region's housing markets.
In addition, the 114-page report considers why women earn less than men in Hampton Roads; highlights the economic contributions of German firms in the area; and analyzes the methodologies of the two most respected guides of metropolitan livability, paying particular attention to how Hampton Roads fares and compares in their latest rankings.
James V. Koch, Board of Visitors Professor of Economics and President Emeritus, serves as editor of the report, which received financial support from Old Dominion and a number of local organizations and individuals. Koch notes that the report does not constitute an official viewpoint of the university.
"The State of the Region reports maintain the goal of stimulating thought and discussion that ultimately will make Hampton Roads an even better place to live," he said. "We are proud of our region's many successes, but realize it is possible to improve our performance. In order to do so, we must have accurate information about 'where we are' and a sound understanding of the policy options available to us."
The 2008 report is divided into seven parts. Among its findings are:
The spectacular first half of this decade is fading into the background as the regional economic growth rate has fallen back to the commonwealth and national averages. Defense spending continues to rise in importance and now is responsible for more than 40 percent of the regional income generation.
Hampton Roads has not been immune to national housing problems, but its mortgage defaults and foreclosures have been well below the national average. Housing prices here have not yet declined significantly, except for new residential housing. The "bottom" may be a year or more away.
Only one of every six television evening news stories relates to crime or violence, but almost 33 percent of the stories that lead broadcasts focus on crime and violence, while 45 percent focus on some type of crime. African Americans are frequently featured as alleged perpetrators, while Caucasians usually are the reported victims.
As is true nationally, women in Hampton Roads earn less than men. Gender earnings differentials are particularly large in occupations characterized by "crowding" - where women constitute a sizable proportion of those employed. Economically speaking, women may be better off in the Richmond metro area than in Hampton Roads.
According to the U.S. Center for Mental Health Services, an estimated 64,972 people (5.4 percent) suffer from serious mental illness in Hampton Roads. Beginning in the 1970s, these individuals largely have been deinstitutionalized and now live within the region's communities, where they are served primarily by nine community services boards.
The region is home to 31 companies hailing from the Federal Republic of Germany and they represent the largest contingent (19 percent) of the area's international firms. These firms "insource" rather than "outsource" jobs and pay above-average compensation to their workers.
The two most respected rankings of the livability of metropolitan areas are David Savigeau's Placed Rated Almanac (PRA) and Bert Sperling and Peter Sander's Cities Ranked and Rated (CRR). In their most recent editions, PRA ranked Hampton Roads 20th in the nation among 370-plus metro areas, while CRR ranked the region 137th. The State of the Region report analyzes where these ratings come from and how Hampton Roads compares to other areas.
The 2008 State of the Region report, as well as the reports from 2000 through 2007, can be found on the Web at www.odu.edu/forecasting. In addition, PDF copies of the report can be downloaded at www.jamesvkoch.com.
