Updated as of 3.3 PTR
(Changes in the post below: http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...965#post322965)
Testing confirmed on and updated for 3.1 PTR. Testing done using Satrina's mod. Thanks to Tony, Sat, and Kaz for putting up with my failures of math and helping me with some of the stumbling blocks and figuring some things out. If I have missed any abilities/procs/etc you would like me to test, please send me a PM on tankspot with the title of this threat and let me know. Also, sorry I do not have all the math laid out like Satrina did, it was enough to actually gather all the data and if you had seen this threat with all the math in it as well you would understand why I ommited it.
Interesting point to note:
Things I would still like to test:
- Any damage caused in bear form, regardless of the form it was applied in, will still get the bear multiplier. This means if you moonfire, root, or wrath then shift to bear while the dot is ticking/bolt is mid-air, the damage done by the dots/wrath recieves the 207.35 stance modifier. This works for cat form as well for pounce, rip, and rake.
- The mod uses 2 invisible decimals, so for example when you see:that actually means 207 threat as seen on something like Omen.Quote:
20730 threat for the full 20 rage
Druid threat values:
- Feral charge on something that is snareable but not interruptable.
- Feral charge on something that is interruptable but not snareable.
- Bash on something that is interruptable but not stunable (while casting then while not casting).
- How threat splits between targets in combat for the noted spells (if they even split but they almost certainly do).
I have addition data on balance and resto spells I can post if people are interested but it is not formatted so it is not in this release.Code:
Bear multiplier_____________________________________ 207.35
Cat form multiplier_________________________________ .71
Rage gains from Primal Fury and Natural Reaction____ 1 rage = 5 threat (not modified by stance) (assumed to split among all mobs in combat)
Rage gained from furor______________________________ 0 threat
Rage gained from enrage_____________________________ 20730 threat for the full 20 rage = 100 threat normalized * stance for all 30 rage (assumed to split among all mobs in combat)

1995 Ford Contour LX 2.5L V6 from North America
Great car with very man problems
When first got the car it was wonderful! Had no problems at all. The first to mess up was the after market alarm. It would go off at any given time and no way to cut it off without disconnecting the battery. The next thing was unknown as of right now of what is the matter. The transmission starting jerking in and out of gear rapidly while driving, then that stopped and now it will not go into overdrive. With the jerking of the transmission and the engine it caused one of the power steering lines to bust. that cost over $200. The transmission if fine its all some sort of electrical issue. Check engine light on while driving, EGR valve sensor sup post to be bad. The wiring harness is terrible, cost for just the wires is in excess of $1200. Over all love the car, but it's a piece. The worst of all is the whole engine besides the wires has been redone.
General Comments:
Fast and handles great when running. One of the most comfortable riding cars besides our cadillac.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 10th November, 2006
13th May 2007, 01:59
Hi Everyone, I also have a 95 contour that started out jerking, now it jumps out of overdrive, specially when the car has been running about 30 minutes. Almost seems like it is overheating, an the fluid is breaking down. I believe if that's so, i am replacing the radiator, plus the temp sending unit in the transmission, an the motor itself, It seems OK in the winter. If anyone can help me, please let me no, by posting a review or a comment. I believe they are a good car, but they are kinda hi maintenance, I think that just makes it that much better, because you have to continually show it no matter what your going to fix it, once again. Thanks Everyone, Jerry.

Nassau Democrats pick Gillen to face O'Connell for clerk
Nassau Democrats have selected a Rockville Centre attorney as their candidate for County Clerk.
Laura Gillen, 43, counsel to the litigation department at the Uniondale law firm of Westerman Ball Ederer Miller & Sharfstein, will challenge two-term Republican Clerk Maureen O'Connell in November.
A first-term candidate and mother of four, Gillen said she plans to "re-energize" the Clerk's Office, which maintains property records, licenses and court documents. "The Clerk's Office is a profit center for the county and I want to work to make it operate more efficiently," Gillen said.
O'Connell, 62, a former state assemblywoman who was first elected clerk in 2005, said she has modernized the office, transitioning Nassau from paper to electronic records. "I plan to run on my strong record," said the East Williston native.

oversalted yellow rice and chicken -- help me "rescue" it
- alkapal Mar 8, 2009 11:17 PM
i salted my chicken while cooking it in water to make broth, which i would then use to make a yellow rice faux-paella. i was using mahatma yellow rice, which is *already* seasoned. doh!
now, i have salty yellow rice with chicken, smoked sausage chunks, bell peppers, olives, capers and saffron.
how would you rescue this?
a frittata where i don't add salt to the eggs?
a soup with low-sodium broth or water?
a casserole with bread crumbs, eggs?
mix with unseasoned potatoes of some sort?
i am NOT gonna give this to the raccoons. they've been eating too well around here. ;-).
Not sure if it is too oversalted for this to work, but squeezing lime juice over does help. When I have curries and the like which are oversalted, I add vinegar which neutralises the salt.
I'd try adding more rice as suggested by ipsedixit, and squeezing lime juice over and mixing it in.
Sometimes adding some cream can help to save an overly salty dish. You could try adding it to a small portion and simmering for a few minutes. If it works, bake the rest with bread crumbs on top.
I might fold in some defrosted frozen chopped spinach (or sauteed fresh spinach, chopped, but I'm not sure it would offer much besides extra cost). It should incorporate well into the mixture and add some extra vitamins. :) Good luck!
Inasmuch as the only way to "reduce" salt in a solution is to dilute it somehow, any of the ideas you listed will help. All you need to do is remember that the salt you currently have in your dish is a factor of percentage. If you have, for example, 50% salt in solution and double the amount of other ingredients without adding more salt you end up with 25% salt in solution. But the ratio of other seasonings will also be affected. Adding more rice which is cooked in water without additional salt will reduce the overall saltiness of the dish but it will also dilute the affect of the other seasonings so you may have to adjust those to maintain the overall flavor balance. But your sausage, olives, and capers all have salt in them so when you increase them you defeat a certain amount of your saltiness reduction effort. Simply adding ingredients like vinegar or cream can help to mask the saltiness but they also mask the other flavors. Once you have too much salt in a dish there is not way to remove it from solution short of drying everything out and scraping the dried salt particles off of the other dried ingredients.

The Atlanta Fed's SouthPoint offers commentary and observations on various aspects of the region's economy.
The blog's authors include staff from the Atlanta Fed's Regional Economic Information Network and Public Affairs Department.
Postings are weekly.
South Florida Maintains Momentum
In a SouthPoint post in August, I discussed improving economic conditions in South Florida. This momentum is continuing into the last quarter of 2014, with business activity generally strong and some new developments in business investment.
From mid-September to the end of October, business contacts for the Miami Branch of the Atlanta Fed continued to indicate improving business sentiment in the region. Economic activity and overall demand reflect steady growth. One exception to this steadily improving performance is the real estate market, which remains a very active sector in South Florida, with prices continuing to increase.
Employment and labor markets
Business contacts continued to report a concern with a skill-set gap between job seekers and available job opportunities. Contacts across several sectors report difficulty finding skilled labor for specialized positions in technology, mathematics, engineering, management, and lending. In a few sectors, the labor market was reported as tightening.
Contacts in the hospitality industry discussed how the tourism sector's expansion has resulted in job growth. The application of technology has reduced the need for some labor resources. However, creating "experiences" for travelers still requires a human touch, thus the need for additional workers as the sector expands and new venues come online. The part-time to full-time employee ratio has remained stable for some time in this sector, with contract workers being used for specific projects. (Speaking of tourism, industry contacts continue to report construction of new hotels, sports venues, and other attractions, in addition to the renovation of restaurants, hotels, and convention centers.)
Costs, prices, and wages
Business contacts reported some increases in costs, primarily in rent, total compensation, and commodities. Increases in construction costs were mainly associated with increasing land and labor costs. Rising commodity prices were affecting the ability to increase prices and improve profit margins. Contacts reported that—with the exception of the real estate and food services sectors—passing through price increases has met with little success, although many contacts have attempted to raise prices or are considering doing so in the near future.
The commercial real estate rental market remains quite active. Real estate professionals are reporting that as a result of a shortage of industrial space, landlords are able to increase rents, spurring an increase in average asking rents.
Contacts continue to report increasing wage pressures for specific skilled labor. Rising health care costs have been described as a significant concern that is driving total compensation costs up. The reports were mixed as to the percentage of increases, although most said increases ranged between 10 percent and 20 percent. Some contacts are absorbing these costs rather than increasing wages, and others have passed on some or all of the cost to the employee.
Availability of credit and investment
Banking sector contacts all reported being well capitalized, though small businesses noted continued credit constraint. Contacts in regional banking expect the combination of traditional and nontraditional structures (for example, supply-chain financing and accounts receivable purchases) to gain momentum through the end of the year and into 2015.
The number of reports of investments and capital expenditures increased. South Florida real estate companies indicated little slowdown in foreign capital moving into the market. The prevailing perspective is that the United States still offers a strong safe haven.
Overall, South Florida business contacts continue to report positive activity, and an optimistic outlook prevails in the near term.

Sunnier Times in the Sunshine State
During the most recent cycle of the Federal Open Market Committee (which ran from June 19 to July 30), the Atlanta Fed's Regional Economic Information Network (REIN) team at the Jacksonville Branch talked with more than 30 Florida business leaders, including branch directors, about economic conditions. As one who has been involved with the REIN program since its inception in 2008, I can attest that, while "slow and steady" remains a theme in this economic recovery, the sentiment of our contacts over the past two months has been the most upbeat since before the recession.
General business conditions
Almost all firms reported increases in business activity. Two design/build firms indicated robust demand and reasonably strong pipelines, including a strengthening in industrial and office development. For the first time, we heard of some speculative building in the commercial sector from three different contacts. Housing continued its slow improvement, though several contacts used the word "bumpy" to describe activity. The appetite for auto purchases continued, as a recent SouthPoint post discussed, with lenders citing robust auto-lending activity. Some banks also reported that consumers are now slowly adding to outstanding credit card balances.
Employment and hiring
Labor markets tightened as the number and types of difficult-to-fill positions increased. In addition to highly skilled positions that are normally a challenge to fill (including information technology and engineering), contacts shared frustrations with filling midlevel positions such as analysts. In construction, finding subcontractors and skilled laborers was harder than normal. However, one contact saw a 20 percent annual increase in revenue as clients resumed a normal hiring pace.
Labor and input costs
Contacts reported seeing wage pressures in their organizations. For example, demand for truck drivers that one firm described as "significant" led to a 33 percent pay increase since the beginning of 2014. One retail contact reported wage increases for maintenance positions as the "construction boom in the area lures these workers away." Most contacts previously noted merit programs of between 2–3 percent. However, for the first time, several contacts discussed plans for more aggressive increases of 4–5 percent. Regarding health care, most anticipate premiums to continue growing significantly, and many have self-insured to mitigate rising costs.
Most contacts described nonlabor input cost increases as benign. Although the cost of some construction-related materials was a cause for concern earlier this year, most of this volatility has dissipated. While most contacts do not claim much pricing power, some companies are seeing improved margins as they are able to push through increases in the form of higher sales prices.
Credit and investment
Contacts at medium and large companies noted that while credit is readily available, many are still risk-averse and avoiding taking on debt, relying instead on cash flow or internal reserves to fund projects. Companies that do borrow are undergoing "rigorous but rational underwriting." One construction contact said that many of his larger clients are no longer just catching up from the recession but are now willing to take risk and invest in adding capacity. A bank also reported more risk-taking among customers, especially in commercial real estate and equipment leasing. At the consumer level, real estate agents and lenders referred to qualified mortgages as something of an impediment to mortgage loan activity, but they generally viewed the more rigorous process as worth the effort to reduce risk.
Since June, the consensus from REIN contacts at the Jacksonville Branch was largely positive. Overall demand conditions have improved, though some expressed concerns about regulatory impact. Some contacts specifically mentioned dissipating headwinds as a reason for increased investment, including one contact who sees enough improvement in the economic environment that the company has changed its strategy from diversification to more rapidly expanding its footprint with aggressive new revenue goals.
Does this jibe with what you, our readers, are seeing? As always, your thoughts are welcome.

Southeastern States Mind the (Skills) Gap
During the past few years, we have heard from a significant number of regional business contacts about the challenges they experience filling certain positions and concerns about a skills gap facing the Southeast. We heard this from various industries, most often about engineering, construction, and IT jobs. The most recent Southeastern Insights mentions this widespread issue.
This skills shortage situation is not unique to the Southeast. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation published a state-by-state analysis last month measuring performance in a number of areas that contribute to economic prosperity. Their key conclusion reiterates our contacts' concerns: that mounting skilled-labor shortages are on the horizon to such an extent that they may soon hinder economic growth. According to the study, the current skills gap dilemma is expected to grow substantially as baby boomers retire.
Fortunately, there's a bright side: many states have recognized this situation and have taken steps to address the ostensibly approaching workforce crisis. Many of our contacts from both private and public sectors pointed to joint initiatives created by states and businesses designed to confront and abate the situation; which the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation study says is essential to closing the gaps. Below is a sample, extracted from the study, of some of the efforts Sixth District states have taken:
- In 2013, the state launched a College and Career Ready Task Force charged with identifying ways to better prepare students for the workforce by training them in the skills demanded by growing industries across the state.
- New and expanding businesses can get workforce development services through the Alabama Industrial Development Training program, which offers services to businesses in need of skilled workers, including preemployment selection and training, leadership development courses, and third-party process improvement assessments.
- The Alabama Technology Network provides skills training for the manufacturing and high technology workforce. The network connects businesses to the portfolio of training resources and programs provided by the state's colleges and universities, offering services through regional centers.
- The Go Build Alabama initiative works to attract talented workers to construction and skilled trades.
- Quick Response Training enables new and expanding businesses in need of training to partner with community colleges and other educational institutions in the state to develop and deliver workforce training programs.
- The Incumbent Worker Training program supports training the existing workforce to enhance and maintain competitiveness.
- The Career and Professional Education Act guides Florida's efforts to diversify its economy and develop a more skilled workforce by encouraging collaboration among education, industry, workforce, and economic development stakeholders from across the state.
- In early 2014, the state approved a $44.7 million Science Learning Center on the University of Georgia's South Campus, providing state-of-the-art facilities aimed at expanding the pipeline for students in science, technology, engineering, and math (often referred to collectively as STEM).
- Groundbreaking also took place for the Georgia BioScience Training Center, which will support training for companies that choose to locate within the state. Georgia Quick Start, the state's job training program, will build and operate the state-of-the-art biotech training center.
- Via the Small Business Employee Training Program, employers can receive up to $3,000 to defray the costs of off-the-shelf training programs for an existing employee.
- The Louisiana Workforce Commission established Workforce Partners to recognize businesses that have committed to building a "job ready" workforce in the state through support and training.
- The Strategies to Empower People program provides access to job training, job readiness support, vocational education programs, and a variety of other skills-development services for those receiving government assistance.
- The Workforce Investment Network consists of more than 60 training and employment centers around the state where employers and job seekers can access services like training, job postings, on-the-job training programs, employment screening services, and job placement assistance.
- The Mississippi Development Authority also maintains a team of workforce specialists who work with colleges, businesses, workforce development professionals, and other stakeholders to identify resources useful to a particular business. The authority also builds partnerships to pursue needed training services.
- The University of Mississippi maintains a Professional and Workforce Development program, offering online enrichment courses, certification programs, and outreach services, bringing tailored training programs directly to the employer.
- The Tennessee Job Skills grant program offers support to technology companies that create "high-skill, high-wage" jobs, reimbursing eligible costs incurred in training development implementation.
- Entrepreneurs in need of quick turnaround in receiving support for training costs can make use of the state's Job Based Training Reimbursement program, which provides support within the first 90 days after a new job is created and training starts.
- The FastTrack Job Training Assistance Program offers employers state support to cover costs for classroom instruction, on-the-job training, training-related travel, training vendors, and development of training materials and programming.
Sixth District states appear to be on a solid track to address skills gap challenges, combining investment in training, education, and business assistance as a long-term workforce development strategy. Time will tell if the investment pays off (we should know sooner rather than later, as boomers are expected to start retiring in droves).
To learn more about states' efforts, as well as their rankings across five policy areas—talent pipeline, exports and international trade, technology and entrepreneurship, business climate, and infrastructure—check out the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's study. There's also a nifty interactive map you can use to view state rankings and data easily.

- June 18: Developers plan 300 apartments in Midtown Miami
- June 19: Lennar plans 229 apartments in Boca Raton after $7.5M purchase
- June 23: Broward commissioners to vote on 400-apartment project
Data from the real estate analytics firm REIS indicate that 2,425 new apartment units were completed in Miami in 2013. Not only is this noteworthy because this represents the most units delivered per year since 1991 but also because nearly all of the units were absorbed. More than 600 units have been delivered so far in 2014, and close to 3,000 units remain under construction. Despite this comeback in Miami apartment construction, the apartment vacancy rate ended the first quarter at 3.8 percent and is expected to remain at this low level for an extended period. Is apartment construction heating up in South Florida as a result of a change in fundamental beliefs of the rising generation?
According to an article featured in the latest issue of the Atlanta Fed's EconSouth, the generation known as the millennials is showing signs of veering from established patterns, particularly when it comes to milestones like moving out of the parents' house, getting married, and buying a home. Many experts, including Atlanta Fed economist Tim Dunne (who has written extensively on the topic, including this article), acknowledge that economic conditions are partly to blame for these delayed decisions.
But are these decisions only being delayed, or have preferences changed? Reports from some Atlanta Fed business contacts suggest that attitudes and preferences may in fact be changing. Some business contacts report that, unlike previous generations, millennial employees are often unwilling to commit long term to one organization, preferring instead nonmonetary perks such as flex time over higher pay, and they place great value on work-life balance. Moreover, real estate business contacts in South Florida have noted that millennials prefer the "experience" that often comes with high-end apartments, such as amenities including dining and shopping, rather than a traditional home in a suburban setting.
More than shifting preferences may be at work, though. According to Fannie Mae's national housing survey, conducted in May 2014, potential first-time homebuyers are facing several challenges that inhibit their ability to purchase a home. Although the survey does confirm that the number of renters has increased on a national basis, and the number of homeowners has declined, since the financial crisis, the survey's findings indicate that potential homebuyers are not renting by choice but rather by necessity. Higher credit standards and increasing home prices have hindered potential homebuyers. The survey results suggest that younger renters aspire to own but feel pessimistic about their ability to get a mortgage, perceiving down payment and credit score requirements as obstacles. The survey also reported that young renters aspire to own for financial and lifestyle reasons, although a smaller share of respondents (versus last year) reported that their primary reason for renting is to prepare them for homeownership.
For the rental market, the question remains whether that segment's growth is a permanent shift by millennials or merely a bridge until this generation is better prepared to become homeowners.

Florida, On Holiday
In May, the Sixth District states added just 15,000 net new payrolls. This increase follows three months where the states hit the mark of 40,000 new payrolls per month. However, last month, the District's labor market held two dubious distinctions: first, Florida shed more payrolls than any other state in the nation, and second, Georgia—despite adding 12,900 payrolls in May—had the largest statistically significant increase in its unemployment rate than any other state in the nation (up 0.3 percentage points; see the chart).
As you can see in the chart above, Florida added about 100,000 payrolls for the first four months of 2014 before hitting a snag in May. So what happened last month? Three of the state's sectors that appeared to have turned the corner following the downturn actually were hit hard in May: employment in the construction and accommodation and food services sectors both declined last month, losing 6,100 and 7,700 payrolls, respectively. Hiring in professional and business services—a sector recovering faster than most in the postrecession period—shed 9,500 payrolls. Florida's professional and business services sector added 25,500 payrolls during the first four months of 2014.
As always, a reasonable word of caution when looking at these data: one month does not a trend make. Still, you can't help but scratch your head on this one, especially with accommodation and food services, as the weather warms up after a harsh winter and people begin planning their Florida beach getaways. You can see how employment in the previously mentioned sectors is faring relative to their most recent peaks and troughs in the chart below.
On the other hand, Florida's labor market is still showing some signs of life: the trade and transportation sector added 5,300 payrolls, and retailers added 2,100 payroll jobs.
Other District states fared better in May. As previously mentioned, Georgia added 12,900 payrolls (with 5,400 of those being in professional, scientific, and technical services), and Louisiana added 8,500 payroll jobs over the month. Tennessee added 6,700 payrolls, and Mississippi—where monthly payroll growth has averaged 1,300 during the past 12 months—added 4,100 payrolls.
State unemployment rates
Despite five out of six District states adding payrolls in May, five out of six District states also saw increases in their unemployment rates. The District's aggregate unemployment rate ticked up 0.1 percentage point to reach 6.5 percent, while Mississippi's ticked up to reach 7.7 percent (the highest rate in the District). Georgia saw a 0.3 percentage point increase, reaching 7.2 percent. Louisiana's noticeably lower rate of employment increased to 4.9 percent (see the chart).
To find out how many jobs it would take to lower unemployment rates in all 50 states, check out the Atlanta Fed's Jobs Calculator.
The next national employment release will be out July 3, and the next regional employment release comes out July 18.

Is Florida Finally Beginning to Flourish Again?
In March, we shared the view of our contacts in the Regional Economic Information Network (REIN) in north and central Florida. Those contacts described modest but sustained growth in activity in the first quarter of the year. That sentiment continued as winter turned into spring, with reports of increasing activity and greater optimism for continued growth during the remainder of the year.
Since mid-March, the REIN team in the Atlanta Fed's Jacksonville Branch held 13 one-on-one interviews, one roundtable with a mix of business leaders, a Trade and Transportation Advisory Council meeting (recently summarized), as well as our branch board meeting. Although meeting participants noted acquisitions as a primary growth engine for most firms, some firms are expanding capacity to meet improving demand. Community banks are reporting increased commercial activity as bigger banks trim lines on small businesses. Though loan demand is still relatively soft, our contacts characterized clients as somewhat more confident, which bodes well for future lending activity. One banker cited noteworthy increases in credit card usage and home equity loans.
Retail contacts continue to express concerns about low-income consumers but note that the slowly improving labor market is resulting in somewhat more spending. In central Florida, contacts noted strong spending by more affluent consumers, including foreign visitors who are seeking high-end retail and dining. Robust home sales and price appreciation, accompanied by declining lender-mediated sales, were widely reported. Commercial construction is on the rise, especially in sectors such as health care, manufacturing, apartments, and higher education.
A focus on cost-cutting along with productivity-enhancing efforts continues. As one chief executive officer put it, "People are the last thing we'll invest in." Another company has committed to keeping its general and administrative expenses flat, which will result in support staff cuts to offset the increased cost of technology investments and health care. Two other large contacts noted significant reductions of full-timers to avoid having to provide health care coverage and to "be more in line with the industry." We increasingly hear more about firms restructuring employee health plans and benefits to reduce costs to the company, including shifting more cost burden to the employee, restricting eligibility for spouses who may have access to insurance elsewhere, and adding risk-based surcharges.
Education contacts noted that the ability to place graduates seeking work has improved. Stories abound regarding difficult-to-fill positions (truck drivers, IT, accounting, etc.), and reports of a willingness to increase starting salaries are mixed. Generally, there were few reports of wage pressures mounting (outside of the trucking industry). The news on input prices remains relatively quiet.
Our contacts noted that qualified mortgage rules—and regulations more generally—have the potential to affect the housing recovery. A mortgage and refinance company has cut the majority of its workforce as refinance volume diminishes but noted that current regulations are making first mortgages, especially to the self-employed, "nearly impossible" to issue. Two other small-banking contacts indicated they have discontinued providing residential mortgages. However, two residential real estate contacts did not indicate any major concern about clients' abilities to obtain mortgage loans.
At the April meeting of the board of directors of the Jacksonville Branch, we asked board members whether the current and near-term environment reflects an economy that is growing at a 2 percent rate or one that is growing at 3 percent. The majority view activity now and in the coming year to be more closely aligned with a 3 percent growth rate. The board members feel that the biggest potential impediment to growth is related to the consumer, as many people continue to struggle and consumer confidence remains lower than before the recession (see the chart).
The old proverb goes, "No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow." One could apply this adage to the Great Recession and the long recovery and ask: Has an economic "spring" finally sprung? We'll be keeping tabs as the year plays out.

Is the Southeast Poised for Tourism Growth?
The Atlanta Fed's Travel and Tourism Advisory Council met at the Miami Branch for the first time this year on April 17. Overall, council members were enthusiastic about economic activity, and its benefits for the tourism sector, in the Southeast.
Georgia and Alabama bounced back from harsh weather conditions in January and February. The outlook for the next three months is positive, with contacts reporting a strong number of bookings and ticket sales. Florida's tourism benefited from the winter weather with travelers seeking warm weather or extending stays as a result of cancelled flights. Fort Lauderdale, in particular, indicated record numbers in February and March.
The Southeast experienced an increase in international tourist activity in 2013, primarily from Latin America and Europe. Participants noted domestic travelers were travel fatigued and are staying closer to home. Consumer spending increased from a year ago, not only in hotel and food expenditures but in retail stores as well. The increase in spending came primarily from luxury restaurants and hotels.
On the horizon for regional travel and tourism
The council discussed the increase in capital expenditures across the region, reporting heavy construction activity in new hotels, sports venues, and other attractions in addition to renovations of restaurants, hotels, and convention centers.
Technology enhancements continue to significantly affect the industry and are being implemented across many segments of the industry. For example, customers can now complete ticket sales for theme parks, sporting events, and other entertainment events as well as reservations for dinner or special services such as spa treatments prior to traveling. Travelers can electronically handle requests for food orders, hotel check-in, beach chair reservations, and maintenance requests once they have reached their destination. (Don't be surprised to find yourself handed an iPad upon arrival at your hotel to facilitate check-ins and any other needs during your stay.)
Tourism markets expand
Interestingly, the council indicated that families are using children's sporting events—like traveling little leagues—as their family vacation. In response to this growing market, the industry is developing special venues and events for these groups to include family- and sports-oriented activities.
The state of Florida is promoting itself as a destination for medical treatment as a way to expand its customer travel industry. The state is proposing legislation to require VISIT FLORIDA, the State's official marketing corporation, to market Florida as a medical destination. Business contacts in the health care field are also heavily marketing health care in the state to countries with an underdeveloped health care sector.
All that said, the travel and tourism sector looks promising in the near term, and new industry developments should enhance the vacation experience for those about to visit the Southeast.By Marycela Diaz-Unzalu, an economic and financial education specialist in the Miami Branch of the Atlanta Fed

Regional Payroll Growth Rebounds in March
According to last week's regional and state employment report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Sixth District states added 41,500 payrolls on net in March, and the unemployment rate rose slightly from 6.4 percent to 6.5 percent. This month's release also came with an upward revision to February data that indicated the District added 40,500 jobs that month, about 6,100 payrolls higher than the original February estimate. The table gives a state-by-state breakdown of payroll revisions:
The new March data and revised February data appear to be another step in the right direction and perhaps give a somewhat stronger signal that the region's labor markets are gaining some traction after experiencing a few months of slower job growth earlier in the year, a pattern not uncommon over the last few years. Not surprisingly, we've seen a similar pattern in the national data as well (see the chart).
Payroll survey
Once again, Florida was the primary driver of Sixth District payroll growth in March, adding 22,900 payrolls, with Georgia seeing a nice rebound (up 14,600) from February's negative payroll growth (when it was down 5,800). The only state to lose jobs from February to March was Mississippi, which shed 1,400 payrolls. This was the fourth straight month of net payroll losses in that state.
Florida's net payroll gain was the largest one-month addition of any state in the nation, according to the BLS report, and was driven by the leisure and hospitality sector (up 9,500), health care (up 3,300), construction (up 1,900) and manufacturing (up 1,500), and Georgia's net payroll gain—the third-largest of any U.S. state—was driven by retail (up 3,800), the professional and business services sector (up 3,300), and health care (up 3,200).
As for other District states, Tennessee experienced a modest gain in payrolls in March, adding 4,200 jobs. With the largest revision of any Sixth District state, Tennessee's February net payrolls were revised up 3,400 payrolls for a total of 10,300 payrolls. Tennessee's payroll growth over the two-month period of February and March was primarily concentrated in professional and business services (up 6,800 payrolls). Louisiana and Alabama respectively added 900 and 300 jobs in March (see the chart).
Household survey
The aggregate unemployment rate for the Sixth District rose from 6.4 percent to 6.5 percent in March. Half of the six District states experienced an increase in their unemployment rates (Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi), and Louisiana's rate remained unchanged, Georgia's fell from 7.1 percent to 7.0 percent, and Tennessee's fell from 6.9 percent to 6.7 percent (see the table).

The BLS's next regional and state employment report, which will reflect April data, will be released May 16.

The Graying of the Sunshine State's Labor Force
Business contacts throughout the region have expressed, through the Atlanta Fed's Regional Economic Information Network (REIN), a growing concern with an aging population and a shortage of qualified and interested younger candidates to fill positions vacated by retirees. A recent presentation spotlighted this trend in Florida. The report "Florida's Economic Future & the Impact of Aging" by Florida's Office of Economic and Demographic Research (EDR) notes that "population growth is the state's primary engine of economic growth, fueling both employment and income growth." The presentation reports two main concerns for the state: one is an aging population and a shrinking pool of workers, and the other is a growing need for services, natural resources, and infrastructure as the state's overall population increases.
Florida's population has grown from 15.9 million in 2000 to 18.8 million in 2010, a nearly 18 percent increase, and it is forecast to grow to 23.6 million by 2030. The population growth adds concerns for not only current older Floridians but also for future older residents, who will help further the demographic trend of an aging population and a labor force whose growth is slowing.
In 2010, Florida was one of seven states whose median age was over 40; at 17.3 percent, it is the state with the largest percentage of population age 65 or older. Of the nation's top ten cities with the highest percentage of population age 65 or older, four are in Florida: Clearwater at 19.8 percent, Hialeah at 19.1 percent, Cape Coral at 17.0 percent, and Miami at 16.0 percent. Two years later, in 2012, the median age in Florida rose to 41, with six counties reporting a median age of 50 and older. Demographers expect Florida's older population to nearly double between 2010 and 2040 (see the chart).
Supporting concerns expressed by REIN contacts, the EDR research reports that as approximately 4.8 million baby boomers are set to retire between 2011 and 2029, the share of workers to retirees will shrink. The chart below depicts the growth in population in the group ages 45 to 64 years (roughly speaking, the baby boomer cohort) since 2000, but it also shows a decline in residents ages 44 and younger, one reason for a declining potential labor force. This change in the composition of the population will cause the current ratio of three taxpaying workers to each retiree to decline to two to one by 2030.
The EDR also expects additional ramifications including weaker economic growth rates, potential upward pressure on wages to attract and retain skilled workers, and a growing retirement-age population, which could lead to a decline in consumer spending and changes in investment patterns. The EDR is also concerned about problems filling labor-intensive jobs such as firefighters, police officers, and construction workers. In addition, jobs will likely require increasingly specialized skill sets as technology advances.

An Economic Perspective from North and Central Florida
Over the course of the six weeks between the January and March Federal Open Market Committee meetings, my colleague Chris Oakley, the regional executive of the Atlanta Fed's Jacksonville Branch, and I met with 17 business leaders from across north and central Florida, as well as with members of our branch board of directors, to gain a broad perspective on current economic conditions.
Overall, most contacts indicated that that the stronger pace of activity experienced in the latter part of last year either has been sustained or should resume as the weather improves. (Unlike the rest of the country, Florida has been relatively untouched by the adverse winter weather. However, our contacts with a national footprint or those who experienced delayed parts deliveries, like manufacturing, construction, and food services, have noted disruptions in activity as a result of bad weather in certain markets.)
Designers and builders of both large and small enterprises noted a pick-up, especially in manufacturing, health care, and financial services, with one firm reporting a record backlog of projects due to organic growth and acquisitions. Other areas of strength for the state included tourism, housing construction, port activity, and an increasing number of retirees choosing Florida as their new home. On the flip side, banker contacts continued to be disappointed with a lack of loan demand among small business clients, but "tire kicking" appeared to have increased along with expectations for a higher level of activity this year. Restaurant contacts indicated worries about middle- and low-income consumers, whose disposable incomes are challenged with low wage growth and adjusting to increased health care premiums.
Florida has experienced a stronger rebound in new home permits than the nation since the beginning of 2014 (see the chart). Conversations with business contacts reflect this trend. Some residential home builders indicated that they are building spec homes with confidence that the properties will sell; one custom builder reported that his spec homes have been selling at 98 percent of the asking price. Banker contacts noted price increases as a result of both reduced real estate owned inventories on their books and a shortage of developed lots for new home construction. On the credit side, bankers reported that available credit now appears to have achieved some equilibrium with real estate demand. It was also noted that demand for rental property remains robust as some previous homeowners who lost their homes during the downturn have indicated no interest in owning another home and will continue to rent, at least in the near term.
Feedback regarding the labor market was mixed. We heard several stories about the inability to fill construction jobs, especially high-skilled positions. One contact speculated that this lack of talent could eventually result in a greater proportion of construction taking place in factory-like settings with only assembly occurring in the field, allowing for the use of greater automation in manufacturing components. Staffing contacts noted postrecession high levels of openings, and those workers with unique skills (often I.T. or accounting-related) were in the driver's seat and were able to dictate working conditions and have some leverage in compensation negotiations. A large manufacturer found success in partnering with Florida's universities and military veteran placement services to ensure an adequate supply of engineers and other high-skilled workers.
A good amount of discussion about increased labor costs focused on health care benefits, with sources sharing anecdotes about annual increases as high as 20 percent. A majority of contacts indicated they are passing along or sharing premium increases with employees. We also heard stories of companies reducing or discontinuing benefits for family members who might otherwise qualify for benefits elsewhere. Further, it was emphasized, especially among lower-wage, service-oriented companies, that the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act is resulting in a larger number of eligible employees electing coverage, which is also driving up costs for the employer. A large design-build firm noted increased labor costs among its subcontractors, and a real estate rental firm indicated a "fair amount of wage pressure" for higher-level employees, such as property managers. In the government sector, both at the county and municipal levels, contacts commented on a resumption of wage increases among their constituents, the first for most since the recession.
With regard to nonlabor costs, developed land and construction material costs were both noted as concerns among construction contractors. Restaurant contacts expect food costs to rise about 4 percent this year, consistent with what they experienced in 2013, with increasing meat prices driving the rise. Banker contacts continued to point to rising regulatory and compliance costs. Overall, there appears to be more of an appetite for attempting to push through input cost increases through pricing, though the consensus is that any increase would be conservative.
So, overall, the takeaway from all of these anecdotes is that it's more of the same. While uncertainties are fewer and farther between than in the past couple of years, the outlook in the northern half of Florida appears a little less cloudy and even laced with cautious optimism. For a wider viewpoint on the economy across the Southeast, see the Atlanta Fed's latest Southeastern Insights.

My first delivery included major damage (from factory, not shipping) to the laminate surface. I wish I had returned the whole set then. Waited another month for overstock to get replacements sent to me. They were not in perfect condition, but I was in desperate need of desk by then. I will be making do with this for the time being. Pros: desk set is very large and very sturdy two file cabinets included have three drawers each so you get very good storage while it took a long time to put together, the instructions were good and thorough .Cons: the quality of the laminate finish is poor, lots of sloppy corners, glue residue, rough edges The laminate is easity "etched" and scratched. If you slide a magazine across surface and it has even a tiny piece of grit on it, you will get marks in the surface. Pretty much everything, including items with felt protectors will leave a mark the return that connects the desk and credenza is very narrow, barely room to move back and forth (although I guess it could be a pro for some people as you can sit in your chair, spin in a circle and reach everything the keyboard drawer attached within a couple of inches of the return so you have to sit with your chair flush up against the return to type on your keyboard...miserable for your back. BAD design
The surface finish and quality were generally poor. When I asked the manufacturer for a 'touch-up kit' they sent me a piece of crayon. It would have been more trouble to return it, than to keep it after assembly. My recommendation, is DO NOT BUY IT!

sounds cool...and its also nice to see people supporting peace...
Why must we fight, its just not right.
Two countries at war, one rich one poor.
Why can't we make amends, why can't we be friends?
The pain and the terror both countries go through
Just isen't enough to prove whos who.
One must win, in this horrible tradgedy, why can't anyone see what's reality?
Family's torn apart...
Together they'll mourn
Through feelings and heart.
No one understands the pain thats here with me
They can't understand what they cant see.
When the twin towers went down
Loved ones were lost
And still not found
Some buried alive
Buried deep in the debris
This could have been anyone
This could have been me!
But everyday i pray and keep them in my thoughts
For this could have been prevented this could have been fought.
It's to late now; out reaction was not in time
For this is our country land of the free
It's not turning out how i thought it would be.
Our counrty is dying the red, white and blue
This isn't a dream it's incredibly true.
As our country goes to war
We'll proudly stand
And give a helping hand.
One country must win whether it be of heart or of sin.
In god we trust
And if this is true
War is definitly not a must!
If we belive in faith
True miracles can come true
Though an act of war is something we shouldent do.
So take your time and think this through...
There could be another way
Although i will pray and pray
For those who have lost friends and family along the way
For those who have been injured
And those who cant be cured
For this i give my word!
Tanks zyta
sounds cool...and its also nice to see people supporting peace...
I love your poem Hiei it touches my heart. If only everyone would think this way. Our world would be alot better off if there was no more war.
™Mommy To Micah And Shawn!™
Thanks For The Amazing Tag Pyro!
Correct punctuation and proper spacing would do this poem jutice.

Color-coding wooden cutting boards and utensils can do more than help prevent cross-contamination while cooking. Because wood is porous, it often absorbs the odors of strong-smelling foods -- meaning last night's garlic could rub off on this morning's apple slices. You can sprinkle the cut side of a lemon with salt and then rub over the cutting board to deodorize it, but painting the ends of utensils and cutting boards lets you designate their use -- vegetable, meat, or fruit. Tape around the area you'll be painting (avoid surfaces that will touch food), and apply one or two coats of acrylic paint.

Crash of the Titans
Australia, 1991 (MIFF 1992, Science Film Programme)
Director: Richard Smith
Africa is the continent that saw the birth of humanity. It has also been ruled in equal measure by an animal of gargantuan proportions. An animal that is now losing the battle to live in the very land it helped create. And if the elephant goes, Africa will never be the same again. A resident of Africa for at least 750,000 years, the elephant is a survivor of the Age of the Megafauna, when similar giants fought and trumpeted across nearly every continent on Earth. But now the elephant is in real danger of becoming extinct in the wild.

About Jeff Johnson
I started my roofing company, Jeff's Roofing, here in Truckee the Spring of 1998, spending my first nights at the Prosser Lake campground, moved my way up , rented a room, then a house, got married, had a daughter and then eventually bought this home in 2006. Although we love the area, my wife, being in the medical field and looking for more career opportunities than a small town could provide, we eventually moved to Folsom CA where I am expanding my roofing business into Sacramento as well as continuing to operate Jeff's Roofing in Truckee and where she found a great job.
Jeff Johnson purchased this house in 2006
Why Jeff Johnson chose Truckee
Near to town, gets great light with views of pine trees through high windows. Nice wood floor in living area.
