This is it,
This review is from: Mahler: Symphony No 2, 'Resurrection' (Audio CD)
There must have been some anxious moments at the British Geological Survey on the night of February 20th 1989 as this cataclysmic account of Mahler's Symphony No.2 unfolded at the Festival Hall in London. Never mind five stars; this performance should be measured on the Richter Scale.
Unlike the other reviewer, I wasn't lucky enough to be there on the night but I have been hoping and praying that a live Tennstedt Resurrection would appear soon on either the LPO's own label or BBC Legends. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would be as good as this.
I can't remember ever being so startled or moved by a performance of a work I know so well. Through his instrumental phrasing and tempos Tennstedt seems to bring out more of the tragedy, tension and nobility in this music than anyone else I've heard. The second movement Andante Moderato in particular is a real ear-opener with an extraordinary array of string tone but a slight emphasis towards the lower strings. This completely changes the mood of the music from the slightly sentimental interlude we are used to hearing to something altogether more bitter. In fact, it is not until the fourth movement Urlicht that we achieve the first sense of relief and it becomes the true turning point of the symphony that Mahler intended. It's utterly hypnotic and beautifully sung by Jard Van Nes, even if her rich, smoky voice does just run out of puff on the last word due to Tennstedt's broad and taxing tempo.
And so to the mighty finale. At 39 minutes it's even longer than Bernstein's NYPO recording on DG. In fact, timings are pretty similar throughout and this new release is one of the longest on record. The LPO (who play like gods throughout the entire work, by the way) really unleash all hell in the first part of this movement and the power and depth of their sound is both incredibly satisfying and more than a little unnerving. The brass and percussion are superbly caught in rich, weighty sound and in even more detail than EMI managed for Rattle or DG did for Abbado in Lucerne. For all the splendour of sound, however, the hushed pauses are just as rewarding as they really let you feel the tension and expectation of the capacity audience which is stunned to virtual silence throughout the concert. The choral singing on Tennstedt's EMI recording was always a bit woolly and disappointing; here it's sharp and very cleanly focussed, with Yvonne Kenny's regal soprano floating out to find a natural-sounding position just in front of the chorus with Van Nes. Their final duet is amongst the best on record and has both beauty and stature. As Tennstedt sweeps us towards the end on an enormous tidal wave of choral and orchestral sound (and with an unscored cymbal crash, to which I'll turn a deaf ear!), the RFH's organ kicks in to launch us towards heaven. The final bars are truly spectacular and the hall erupts with the kind of cheer that greets an England try at Twickenham.
This really is the best of all possible worlds. The thrill and emotional clout of Tennstedt's live LPO Mahler on a mid-priced, own-label release but with instrumental precision, A-List soloists and quality of sound that would grace a major-label studio recording. Unlike some recent Tennstedt issues on LPO or BBC Legends, this concert was deliberately recorded in digital sound by professional engineers working at the hall on the night; it's not a remastering of somebody's taped radio broadcast. The fascinating booklet insert explains all.
Having had one prayer answered, I now have another one: to see a live performance as good as this one, just once in my lifetime. I suspect I never will.

TIM ETHRIDGE COLUMN: Colts look deep despite preseason lockout delay
Jim Caldwell certainly understands this is like no other NFL preseason.
Up until almost the last possible second, no one even knew if there would be a season because of the labor dispute between players and owners.
But one thing the Indianapolis Colts head coach has figured out during his 56 years on this earth and three decades in football: Expect the unexpected and don't just move on, move forward.
"One thing that I learned growing up in my household, my dad worked for General Motors for 35 years, but there weren't very many times that I can remember that he didn't have two jobs," Caldwell said this week at training camp in Anderson. "He had something going on. Either he started his own business, his own tire company, or he started this little resort up in Wisconsin.
"Here is the thing that I remember: He never complained. I never heard him complain, not one time about his status or his situation. He always found a way to work his way through it. That kind of trickled down to me as well. This is what we have to deal with. These are the parameters, this is the situation, work with it.
"The only thing that matters in this particular game is winning. What we have to do is make sure that we get ourselves in position to win, and we will adjust. Whenever we can practice, we will practice and up until that time we will keep going."
It certainly was a busy first week of preseason for the Colts as well as the rest of the NFL. While many of the parameters were in place, they had to hustle to sign veterans, free agents and rookies.
Add in that quarterback Peyton Manning cannot practice after neck surgery and there is plenty of leeway for excuses. But Caldwell, like his predecessor Tony Dungy, won't run that route. He knows that in his business — praise Vince Lombardi — winning is everything.
"We understand we have work to do, and, like always, we'll get at it and try to get it done," he said.
The Colts squeezed a lot into the long week since a labor agreement was reached between the NFL owners and players.
Along with Manning, who signed a five-year, $80 million deal that left the Colts considerable salary cap room, the team has retained running back Joseph Addai, offensive linemen Ryan Diem and Kyle DeVan, defensive linemen Antonio Johnson and Eric Foster, defensive back Melvin Bullitt and kicker Adam Vinatieri.
Throw in players returning from injuries, including Addai, tight end Dallas Clark, receivers Anthony Gonzalez and Austin Collie, running back Donald Brown and defensive back Jerraurd Powers, and the Colts' roster is looking deep.
"It's great to see those guys back with us," said Caldwell. "It's great to get the team back together. I mean that's the great part about it. I think we all coach this game and play this game because of the camaraderie, in a sense. Obviously it's our job, but we love being around one another as well."
The team also looked outside its locker room for help in its quest to become the first franchise to play a Super Bowl in its own stadium. Free-agent signees have included defensive tackle Tommie Harris, defensive end Jamaal Anderson and linebacker Ernie Sims, all former first-round draft choices.
That's a bit of a different tack for the conservative franchise, but a gamble that the team feels is well worthwhile.
"You can't argue with the success," said linebacker Gary Brackett. "If you look at the numbers, they speak for themselves. We don't have to do all the flashy things and sign the big name free agents, although I know the fans wish we would.
"You look at the history. At some point there's going to be several rookies on the field that we have never seen before helping us win games. That's the way we do things, and that's really my message to the guys."
Similar words also are coming from Caldwell, who has guided the Colts to 14-2 and 10-6 records in his first two seasons, a pair of AFC South titles, a Super Bowl berth (with the loss to New Orleans), then a playoff loss to the Jets at home to end last season.
"Every season is different, but our expectations always are the same — to win football games and to make it to the Super Bowl," he said. "We like the guys we have, and now it's all about getting ready for the season and then getting the job done."

Re: Avengers Assemble! Animated Show - Part 1
Season 1 is in the books, so let me give some quick observations.
The good:
*The animation is outstanding
*The Cabal is made up of villains new to animation, like Hyperion. Marvel didn't fall back on the usual suspects.
*Mojoworld was well done, as was Latveria. It was also nice to see the Wrecking Crew.
*The villain in the finale has possibilities.
The bad:
*The plot device of pitting the Avengers against one another has been done to death on this show.
*Neither Hulk or Thor are portrayed as particularly powerful.
*Captain America seems wary of decision-making, which is totally out of character.
*Avengers Tower gets destroyed almost every episode.
*Hulk comes off like a petulant child far too often. His EMH portrayal of the surly, reluctant hero was better.
*Hawkeye doesn't offer much other than cornball jokes, much like A-Bomb on AOS.
*Despite other heroes showing up from time to time (like the GotG), they are nowhere to be found when the Red Skull forms the Cabal and takes control of the existence-threatening Tesseract.

Pete Nelson: Moving To Paradise
I have been thinking a lot lately about Route 28. From the moment it branches off from Route 12 at Alder Creek just southwest of the Adirondack Park, until it branches again at Blue Mountain Lake, it runs sixty-one miles through the very center of my heart. It is and will always remain the fundamental representation for me of what it is to take a journey. But it is more than that: it is an emblem for the magical transition from urban and suburban America to the higher state of wilderness, to the experience of "Freedom in the Wilds," as artist and Adirondack lover Harold Weston called it. For as long as I can remember I have longed to be able to take that journey from civilization to the Adirondacks and not have to return. » Continue Reading.
Friday Declared 'French Louie' Seymour Day
The Herkimer County Legislature has named Friday "French Louie Day" in honor of the noted French-Canadian Adirondacker Louis Seymour. A celebration is planned for Saturday in the Town of Inlet.
Friday marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Seymour, who made the wilderness between Inlet and Lake Pleasant his home from the 1860s until his death in Newton's Corners (now Speculator) on February 27, 1915. Seymour's name became legend after the 1952 biography Adirondack French Louie: Life in the North Woods by Utica author Harvey Dunham, which portrayed him as a man of hard work, determination and humor. » Continue Reading.

DA Won't Press Charges In Death At Indian Lake Church
A Hamilton County prosecutor will not press charges in the death of a man who died of a cardiac attack at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Indian Lake during an altercation with parishioners.
District Attorney Marsha King Purdue described the deceased—44-year-old Joseph Berg—as "a deeply troubled man" who had been drinking heavily before attending the 4 p.m. mass on June 28. She said his blood-alcohol level was about three times higher than the legal limit for drivers in New York State. » Continue Reading.
The Origins Of The Town of Inlet
On November 27, 1901, the Hamilton County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed an act that created a new town from northern Morehouse, with the South Branch of the Moose River dividing the two towns. Afterwards, Inlet held its first town meeting on January 14, 1902. Presently (2009), the Adirondack Park Agency reports that Inlet consists of 42,446 acres of which just under 4,000 acres is not state land.
But this narrative is about the over 6,000 acres in the northerly Part of Township 3 of the Moose River Tract surrounding the "Head of Fourth Lake", as Inlet was formerly known, and the connections among the speculators who owned it prior to Inlet's creation. This square tract covers the lands from Fourth Lake to Seventh Lakes down to Limekiln Lake at its southwest corner. » Continue Reading.
Adirondack Kids Day in Inlet On Saturday
Inlet's Adirondack Kids Day will be held this Saturday, October 4 from 10 am to 3 pm. Organized by the Adirondack Kids book series authors Gary and Justin VanRiper with the assistance of Kiwanis of the Central Adirondacks, Adirondack Kids Day offers a chance for families to meet children's authors and illustrators, learn new skills and enjoy a day of free activities.
The day kicks-off with a pancake breakfast at the Inlet Fire Hall benefiting the Inlet Common School Parents/Teacher Partnership. It's a delicious way to start off a day full of activities. There are only a few activities that have a fee and food is one of them. Two other activities that require admission are playing mini-golf at Putterfingers and building a stuffed animal at the Inlet Youth Animal Workshop. Both are reasonably priced, but there are also enough free activities to fill the rest of they day. » Continue Reading.
State Opens Trail To OK Slip Falls
The state has opened a three-mile hiking trail to OK Slip Falls in the recently established Hudson Gorge Wilderness.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the opening of the trail today in news release in which he also touted funding for equestrian trails in the central Adirondacks and for the repair of the Lake Abanakee Dam in Indian Lake.
The state acquired OK Slip Falls—one of the tallest cascades in the Adirondack Park—from the Nature Conservancy in 2013. Since then, people have been hiking to the falls along informal trails or bushwhacking.
The official trail starts on the north side of Route 28, at the same trailhead for a pre-existing trail that leads to Ross, Whortleberry, and Big Bad Luck ponds. The parking area is on the south side of the highway, about 7.5 miles east of the hamlet of Indian Lake and 0.2 miles west of the trailhead.
Raquette Lake in 1878
The mysterious original cabin of the Thachers on Indian Point received numerous mentions in the newspapers of the day. However, the earliest evidence of its existence comes from a single sentence in the text of Aber & King's The History of Hamilton County.
Bishop Gabriels, then a priest, celebrated Mass at the Thatcher Camp on July 11, 12, 13, and 14, 1878.
It refers to Rev. Henry Gabriels who at the time was President of the St. Joseph Seminary in Troy, NY and who later became the Bishop of the Diocese of Ogdensburg, which encompasses all of the Adirondacks. Can we simply assume that the original cabin was built in 1878, or might it have existed prior to this first reference? After all, the family purchased the land in 1876. » Continue Reading.

Tatchell calls for an end to the blood ban on gay men
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
F*** off Rahman – you boring troll
Before anyone attempts to engage with 'Rahman' be aware that he is a troll who is posting with the sole intention of winding people up.
I think he used to be called Monkeychops or something.
Noted and understood. Just ignore.
When these types have their platform removed, they eventually
bu@@er off.
We've been through this debate before. It all got pretty heated, but I think the concensus was, even gay men are aware they are a high risk group. We don't *HAVE* to donate blood, and if it potentially puts others at risk, then we should gracefully decline.
As usual, Tatchell puts the whole equality issue before common sense.
However, I do think there are many other high risk groups such as sub-Saharan Africans who should also be treated the same.
The problem with blanket bans, blanket laws, etc, is that it leads easily to stereotyping and stigmatising a certain group – it fails to treat people as individuals with different histories.
In this case it is sheer laziness: gay men who feel that they are in the "at risk" category will probably not seek to donate, others who feel able to should at least be allowed to attempt it.
I've known bi and gay men who are HIV- just lie on the forms. Frankly, I'd like to see blood testing made far cheaper and more accessible – and each potential donor properly screened. I understand that on-site rapid testing for HIV gives a result in under 20 minutes. Having listened to younger friends of all orientations describing their party habits, I'm disinclined to trust forms (or even some people's ability to recall what they did, with whom, how, and when). They're bringing in blood screening for children's transfusions now; why not extend it? Investing in health services at a time of recession makes sense in terms of our physical health services, jobs, and industry.
In the United States, it has been determined by the FDA that an individual that does MSM (male who has sex with another male) is about 30 times more likely to be HIV positive than the general population. The testing for HIV isn't perfect so the risk of getting HIV from a MSM donation would be 30 times higher than that general (non-MSM) population. If the regulatory agencies were anti-gay, you would see a ban on FSF (female who has sex with another female) too, but this isn't the case, because based on risk, FSF are not higher risk and therefore can donate.
Anon: "I've known bi and gay men who are HIV- just lie on the forms."
That would just about sum up the despicably selfish nature of so many gay men. And how do they KNOW they are neg?
There is no major shortage of blood, so we are in a position to screen it as carefully as possible before even running a single test on it. No process is infallible, so screw all this equality bollocks and just cherry pick the ones that have the best chance of being safe. It may be politically incorrect, but it will almost certainly save peoples lives.

Fond farewell to the Hussey FamilySubmitted by Webmaster on June 16, 2015 - 7:16am
To our Abbott Loop Family ...
It is with great sadness, and after prayerful consideration, that our family has decided to take a position in Indianapolis, Indiana. We realize this is somewhat shocking news and we are working with Pastor Josh and the rest of the team to make this a smooth transition for everyone. We have always said that our time in Alaska would be as long as God had us here and we are confident this is our next step in our journey. Although we won't be right next door, we will be closer to our families in the lower 48. Our final weekend will be July 5, so we can enjoy one final Alaskan summer and work with the new Worship Pastor, Joel Benson, during the transition.
This journey that led us to Abbott Loop has been one of the greatest we have experienced. Abbott Loop has become our family - everyone welcomed us with open arms and loved us like we were your own. For that we are grateful.
We are very excited for the future of Abbott Loop. God has established a strong leadership and continues to grow it with new leaders and families. We look forward to seeing what all He has in the future for the family here! Thank
you, Abbott Loop, for your love, support, and friendship. You will always be in our heart and we look forward to visiting when we can and being loved on by our family in Alaska.
There will be a share-a-dish following the send-off on July 5. Please bring a dish to shar and come for a time of fellowship and honoring the Hussey family. For questions or for more information, call the church office at (907) 349-9641.

Ah, the joys of taking students on an international trip. Here are Taylor and Emma shutting down security at the Frankfurt International Airport for around ten minutes with their purple unicorn. The security guards kept scanning the unicorn, which was inside a backpack, before finally, and gingerly, pulling it out. As their teacher and chaperone I had to stand there and keep the chief of security happy, or at least mollified, which is traditionally not one of my strengths.
|To me the bigger question was not the danger posed by a purple unicorn, but why a 19 year old woman would need a purple unicorn.

Colorado Proud School Meal Day
The Colorado Departments of Agriculture and Education would like to invite Colorado schools to participate in the annual Colorado Proud School Meal Day on Wednesday, September 30, 2015. This is a day to celebrate Colorado agriculture and to educate schoolchildren about healthy eating. Colorado farmers and ranchers produce food items that provide the nutrients children and adults need to thrive. Agribusinesses contribute more than $40 billion to the state economy annually and provide more than 170,000 jobs. With more than 37,000 farms and ranches encompassing 31 million acres, it is easy to understand the value this industry adds to Colorado. Learn more about Colorado Proud School Meal Day and resources available.

According to USDA's first-ever Farm to School Census, 43% of public school districts across the country have an existing farm to school program in place, while another 13% of school districts surveyed are committed to launching a farm to school program in the near future. In school year 2011-2012, schools purchased and served over $350 million in local food, and 56% of the districts buying local foods report that they will buy even more local foods in future school years.
- Senate Bill 10-081, in recognition of the need to encourage the eating of fresh and nutritious local foods, the fostering of relationships among farmers and schools, and the promotion of the sale of agricultural products, establishes the Farm-to-School Program. This bill also allows for the creation of a Farm-to-School Coordination Task Force.
- House Bill 1307
- Under HB 1307, governmental bodies purchasing agricultural products are allowed to preference Colorado products over out of state products as long as the quality is equal, the Colorado producer is able to meet requested quantity, and price is either lower than the lowest out of state bid, or "reasonably exceeds" the lowest bid.

The Street Sweeperby Elliot Perlman
From the civil rights struggle in the United States to the crematoria of Auschwitz-Birkenau, there are momentous stories everywhere. But only some survive to become history. Lamont Williams is a black man from the Bronx trying to return to a normal life after serving a six-year prison term for a crime for which he was wrongly convicted. Historian Adam Zignelik is an untenured Columbia professor whose career and long-term relationship are falling apart. When Lamont Williams strikes up an unlikely friendship with a patient at the hospital where he works as a janitor, he learns about the Sonderkommando--prisoners forced to work in the gas chambers and crematoria of the Nazi extermination camps. Meanwhile, Adam pursues a promising research topic suggested by a World War II veteran, a topic that might just save him professionally and even personally. When the lives of these two men intersect, history comes to life in ways neither of them could have foreseen. The Street Sweeper is an astonishing feat of storytelling that addresses the personal and the political as it sweeps across the globe, through the seminal events of the twentieth century to the present. Honest, hypnotic and redemptive, this is a novel that explores the responsibility of the historian, the weight of history on all of us, and the crucial role that bearing witness plays in breaking the cycle of human cataclysm.From the Hardcover edition.

Streetfighting Years: An Autobiography of the Sixtiesby Tariq Ali

Strength for the Broken Placesby James A. Harnish

The critical question is, how do we find strength to put broken things back together again? This book is an invitation to touch the scars that mark the broken places in our lives, in the same way the risen Christ invited a doubting disciple to touch the nail scars in his hands. It is a challenge to explore some of the dark places in our human experience, to uncover the sinister power of sin, and to experience the way the grace of God meets us in our broken places to bring new life."

Strengthening Couple Relationships for Optimal Child Development: Lessons From Research And Interventionby Marc S. Schulz
This volume bears witness to two important transitions. First, it emphasizes the dynamic importance of family transitions, particularly for the growth and development of relationships and each of their component individuals. It captures the processes by which the components of this complex social system change during the course of the transition and how changes in one component are linked to changes in the others. Second, and more broadly, this volume captures a critical transition in the larger research community. The contributors display a clear and equal partnership between intervention researchers and longitudinal observers of family systems that has developed over the past few decades. We understand, as family transitions unfold, that intervention is a critical strategy for understanding the links among family systems observed over time. We also understand that the outcomes of interventions are best followed as further development of the family system, not just successes or failures. Thus, intervention studies are enhanced by understanding the intervention as a major developmental transition, often superimposed on other family transitions.

Stress Testby Timothy F. Geithner
Stress Test is the story of Tim Geithner's education in financial crises. As president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and then as President Barack Obama's secretary of the Treasury, Timothy F. Geithner helped the United States navigate the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, from boom to bust to rescue to recovery. In a candid, riveting, and historically illuminating memoir, he takes readers behind the scenes of the crisis, explaining the hard choices and politically unpalatable decisions he made to repair a broken financial system and prevent the collapse of the Main Street economy. This is the inside story of how a small group of policy makers--in a thick fog of uncertainty, with unimaginably high stakes--helped avoid a second depression but lost the American people doing it. Stress Test is also a valuable guide to how governments can better manage financial crises, because this one won't be the last. Stress Test reveals a side of Secretary Geithner the public has never seen, starting with his childhood as an American abroad. He recounts his early days as a young Treasury official helping to fight the international financial crises of the 1990s, then describes what he saw, what he did, and what he missed at the New York Fed before the Wall Street boom went bust. He takes readers inside the room as the crisis began, intensified, and burned out of control, discussing the most controversial episodes of his tenures at the New York Fed and the Treasury, including the rescue of Bear Stearns; the harrowing weekend when Lehman Brothers failed; the searing crucible of the AIG rescue as well as the furor over the firm's lavish bonuses; the battles inside the Obama administration over his widely criticized but ultimately successful plan to end the crisis; and the bracing fight for the most sweeping financial reforms in more than seventy years. Secretary Geithner also describes the aftershocks of the crisis, including the administration's efforts to address high unemployment, a series of brutal political battles over deficits and debt, and the drama over Europe's repeated flirtations with the economic abyss. Secretary Geithner is not a politician, but he has things to say about politics--the silliness, the nastiness, the toll it took on his family. But in the end, Stress Test is a hopeful story about public service. In this revealing memoir, Tim Geithner explains how America withstood the ultimate stress test of its political and financial systems.From the Hardcover edition.
Stress Testby Richard Mabry
THEY MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO CONVICT HIM, BUT THEY HAVE ENOUGH TO RUIN HIS LIFE. Dr. Matt Newman thought he was leaving his life as a surgeon in private practice for a better one in academic medicine. But the kidnappers who attacked him as he left the hospital at 2 a.m. have no such plans--they just want him dead. Bound and in the trunk of his car, Matt's only thought is fleeing with his life. He does escape, but at a price: a head injury that lands him in the ICU . . . where he awakens to discover he's being charged with murder. Sandra Murray is a fiery, redheaded lawyer who swore she was done with doctors after her last relationship. But when Matt calls, she knows she can't walk away from defending someone who is truly innocent. Matt's career is going down the drain. His freedom and perhaps his life may be next. But with the police convinced he's a killer and the kidnappers still trying to finish what they started, finding the truth--and the faith to keep going--will be the toughest stress test Matt has ever endured. "This is a terrific read, by a surgeon who clearly knows his stuff as a doctor and his craft as a writer." --MICHAEL PALMER, New York Times best-selling author of Oath of Office
Stressed is Desserts Spelled Backwards: Rising Above Life's Challenges with Humor, Hope and Courageby Brian Luke Seaward
Seaward says: "One of the most important lessons I've learned is that it's not what happens to us, but our reaction to what happens to us that causes us stress." He shows us how to learn this lesson, too. Then he continues: "And that means we have the power to control our level of stress. We, in fact, have the power to choose not to react at all to that which happens around us. It is not what life brings to us that determines our level of happiness and self-fulfillment. It is the attitude we bring to life. The most important decision we can make each day is our choice of attitude. It is what will spur us on or stand in our way." Since we are in charge of our attitude, we are the architects of our lives."

text: Jun 25, 8:55 AM EDT Applications for US jobless aid rise to still-low 271,000 By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer Multimedia A district summary of the Beige Book Measuring economic stress by county nationwide Mall malaise: shoppers browse, but don't buy Unemployment by the numbers Family struggles with father's unemployment Saying an affordable goodbye Hard times hit small car dealer Latest Economic News UK first quarter economic growth was greater than estimated Eurozone inflation rate dips but still remains positive Swedish woman gets $18M in sex harassment suit against boss Puerto Rico wants bondholders to postpone debt payments White House: No federal bailout for Puerto Rico German budget foresees 3.4 percent spending rise next year Japan inflation ebbs in May, jobless rate flat South Korea cuts growth forecast as MERS saps spending US economy not as bad in 1st quarter, paving way for rebound Spain says economy growing at fastest rate since 2008 Buy AP Photo Reprints WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment aid rose slightly last week, but remained at a historically low level that signals an improving job market. The Labor Department says applications rose 3,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 271,000. That's not far from the 15-year low reached in April of 262,000. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, declined to 273,750. Applications are a proxy for layoffs, so the very low levels suggest that businesses are confident enough in the economy to hold onto their workers. The data also show that employers refrained from layoffs even as the economy contracted in the first three months of the year, a sign they saw the slowdown as temporary. Nearly 2.25 million people received benefits, up 22,000 from the previous week. Still, the total number of beneficiaries has fallen 13 percent in the past year. Only about a quarter of the unemployed receive unemployment aid. Some have exhausted all the aid available, which is capped at 26 weeks in most states. Others don't qualify for benefits, such as college graduates looking for work. The economy shrank 0.2 percent in the first quarter, but analysts expect growth will return and reach about 2.5 percent at an annual pace in the current April-June quarter. Steady hiring in the past year and gas prices that are still cheaper than a year ago have encouraged Americans to spend more, fueling growth. Consumers ramped up their spending 0.9 percent in May, the biggest gain in nearly six years, according to a separate report Thursday from the Commerce Department. In addition to a low level of layoffs, employers are also hiring at a robust pace. They added 280,000 jobs in May, above last month's monthly average of 264,000, which was the most in 15 years. The unemployment rate rose to 5.5 percent from 5.4 percent, but even that contained some good news: more Americans, encouraged by their prospects, started looking for work last month. Not all immediately found jobs, lifting the unemployment rate. Other data also suggests that the economy is picking up after faltering at the start of the year. Consumers ramped up their car purchases in May to the fastest sales pace since July 2005. And the housing market is hot again: Sales of existing homes are on track for their best year since 2007. New home sales last month reached their highest level since February 2008. © 2015 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
