ATLANTA, Ga -- The project to replace the Georgia Dome would include more than mere construction, as outlined in a new Memorandum of Understanding released Thursday.
It's well known that the construction of the structure would include 800 million dollars from the Atlanta Falcons, plus 200 million from the state hotel motel tax, collected from visitors to Atlanta hotels. But the hotel motel tax collections would likely continue, even after that 200 million is collected.
MORE | Continuing coverage of new stadium deal
In addition to that, the agreement refers to a "waterfall" of surplus hotel motel tax money that would spill into the new stadium.
The hotel motel tax waterfall would be used for maintenance, capital improvements, staging big events like political conventions or Super Bowl games-- and would potentially represent hundreds of millions of dollars in savings for the Falcons. The Georgia Dome used the same money the same way.
"The excess in the past has gone to the repairs of the Dome and the maintenance of the Dome," said Duriya Farooqui, Chief Operating Officer for the city of Atlanta. "And it is going to be no different in the future with the new stadium."
The agreement also calls for Invest Atlanta, the city-backed agency which will issue the construction bonds, to get an unspecified number of "premium" seats at the new stadium.
"The World Congress Center has certain rights and access which are very clearly defined. And we thought it was fair for Invest Atlanta, as the city's economic development agency, to have some opportunity to explore that," Farooqui said.
Farooqui said use of the seats would be "transparent" and subject to the city's ethics rules.
The project also includes
-$20 million to acquire the land needed for the new stadium-- including adjacent church property-- paid for by the Falcons.
- $50 million in infrastructure improvements paid for by the Falcons.
- $15 million for surrounding neighborhoods paid by the Arthur Blank Family foundation.
- $15 million more for surrounding neighborhoods from the Westside Tax Allocation District.

St. Peters, MO (KSDK)- An alert St. Peters Walmart clerk is being credited with uncovering what appears to be a nation-wide identity theft ring.
Police say the scheme involved thousands of dollars worth of fraudulent purchases at local stores.
Police say it all started in Miami, Florida and ended in St. Peters with the arrest of four people. Now 36-year-old Marlon Ardite, 21-yearold Dayan Rodriguez, 26-year-old Danay Gonzalez, and 42-year-old Osleyda Martinez all from Miami, are charged with forgery and identity theft.
St. Charles Prosecuting Attorney Jack Banas says they are accused of getting a hold of people's identities, manufacturing credit card devices and using them in several states. He says a lot of the victims in these cases are outside the State of Missouri. St. Peters Police are now working with federal agencies to determine if there are more victims including some in Missouri.
Police say on February 8th the four used fraudulent credit and debit cards at a Walgreens in St. Peters, then went to Walmart and used them again. Banas says an alert clerk noticed suspicious activity and called police. A St. Peters police officer spotted the four suspects about a mile from Walmart near another Walgreens on Jungerman Road. According to the probable cause statement, when they were taken into custody they had about 50 debit cards and about 40 gift cards worth about $10,000.
The investigation is ongoing and the suspects could face more charges.
Each is being held in the St. Charles county jail on $100,000 cash-only bond.

FWC officer cleared of excessive use of force
Woman hit with Taser had filed complaint
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 12:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 5:54 p.m.
The Inspector General for the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission Office has cleared an officer of using excessive force for using a Taser on a campground owner in the Ocala National Forest last year.
The Rules
From the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission General Orders concerning use of Tasers:
Section 1(C):
(c) The member's decision to apply the ECD shall involve an arrest or custodial situation during which the person who is the subject of the arrest or custody escalates resistance to the officer from passive resistance to *active resistance and the subject:
1. Has the apparent ability to physically threaten the officer or others, or
2. Is preparing to, or is attempting to, flee.
* Active resistance refers to the subject's use of physically evasive movements directed toward the officer such as bracing, tensing, pushing, or pulling to prevent the officer from establishing control over the subject.
The incident occurred on Sept. 20, when FWC officers Joseph Simpson and Washburn Wear, along with an agency biologist, went to the Lake in the Forest Campground to see if owner Deborah Anderson had acted on their warnings to make sure all food and trash receptacles that might attract bears had been secured.
When they arrived, they learned that bears still wandered into the campground and they reportedly saw that the facility did not yet have bear-proof trash containers.
While they were discussing the matter, an argument erupted, an officer jolted Anderson with a Taser, then arrested her.
The charges were later dropped by the agency, but Anderson filed a complaint against Simpson, the officer who shocked her.
In its final report, obtained Thursday by the Star-Banner, the Inspector General's office absolved the officers of wrongdoing after reviewing state statutes, department rules and regulations, and witness statements.
The report states that while Simpson, an 11-year employee, and Wear tried telling Anderson about the importance of securing the Dumpster, she repeatedly interrupted them and ignored their suggestions.
Anderson, the report states, refused to accept a citation and the decision was made to arrest her.
Officers said she twice complied with orders to put her hands behind her back but then pulled away and flailed her arms as soon as Simpson tried to handcuff her.
The Inspector General's office concluded that Simpson was permitted by FWC rules and regulations to "use his intermediate weapons to affect the arrest of Anderson."
Simpson said in his statement to investigators that he used his Taser "because it was the least amount of force necessary and the quickest way to defuse the situation."
Officials noted that Simpson is trained and certified in several areas, such as defensive tactics and first aid, and is a Taser instructor.
After she was hit with the Taser, Anderson was handcuffed, but then complained of having medical problems. EMS was called, but Anderson reportedly refused treatment.
Anderson was then taken to the Marion County Jail, where she was charged with resisting without violence and placing an attractant to create a nuisance. The charges were dropped in early December.
In interviews with investigators reviewing the incident, Anderson and bystanders characterized Officer Simpson as the aggressor, saying he was behaving like a "bully."
Anderson said she hadn't expected the officers and told them she had things to do, but Simpson began screaming at her. She said Officer Wear was able to calm the situation, but when she told them a bear had been in a Dumpster on the property the week before, Simpson stated, "Now you're going to get it."
Anderson said when she tried to explain why she didn't have a bear-proof Dumpster, Simpson told her she always had an excuse, and the discussion again escalated.
At one point, Anderson said, she was in tears because Simpson kept screaming at her.
Anderson said Simpson asked to see her identification because she was going to get a ticket. She said she threw her purse down, and the next thing she knew she was being hit with a Taser.
She said she suffered a concussion from falling after being hit with the Taser.
The Inspector General's report recommends that various divisions of the FWC review the campground files and work with Anderson to find a way to prevent bears from coming onto the property.
Anderson's husband, Jeff Anderson, said Thursday that his wife plans to sue the FWC but would not talk about the case on the advice of her attorney.
He said he was very disappointed that the FWC chose not to discipline Simpson and that the civil lawsuit will reveal whether a jury thinks the officer's actions were appropriate.

LUDOWICI, Ga. -- Prosecutors in Long County, Ga. say a former soldier at Fort Stewart and his girlfriend were killed because they were about to expose a militia group at the U.S. Army base.
Prosecutors said an investigation into the murders uncovered the anarchist group, which was made up mostly of active-duty soldiers at Fort Stewart.
Four soldiers were charged with the murders of Michael Roark and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany York. Roark was discharged from the Army a few days before he was murdered.
Pvt. Isaac Aguigui, Sgt. Anthony Peden, Pvt. Christopher Salmon and Pvt. Michael Burnett were arrested on December 12, 2011. Prosecutors said the four soldiers coerced Roark and York into a wooded area and executed them as they got out of a car.
Prosecutor Isabel Pauley said Pvt. Aguigui organized an anarchist group or militia called FEAR, short for Forever Enduring, Always Ready. "All members of the group were active duty military or former military," Pauley said. "Defendant Aguigui actively recruited new members at Fort Stewart and targeted soldiers who were in trouble or disillusioned."
Pvt. Burnett accepted a negotiated plea on Monday in return for his testimony against the three other soldiers. He will serve 10 years of a 50-year sentence, the remaining 40 years on probation.
In Superior Court he told a judge he doesn't know how the group got out of control, and he never meant for anyone to be killed. "I did think that the government needed a change, and I thought we were the people that would be able to change it," he said.
Prosecutors said the group already spent nearly $90,000 on military assault rifles and accessories to carry out plots to bomb monuments and kill public officials including the President of the United States. Pauley said the group made plans to move to Washington State where they would bomb a dam and poison the state's apple crop.
She said they also planned to take over the ammo control point at Fort Stewart, bomb the vehicles of local and state judicial and political figureheads and federal representatives to include the local Department of Homeland Security. They also planned to bomb the fountain in Forsyth Park in Savannah. "Evidence shows the group possessed the knowledge, means and motive to carry out their plans," Pauley said.
In court, Pvt. Burnett explained how Roark and his girlfriend were killed, each shot twice in the head. "Miss York was starting to get out and (Sgt.) Peden shot her," he said. "He reached in and checked her pulse, and then shot her again."
"(Pvt. Salmon) put Michael Roark on his knees and then shot him," he said. Families of the victims broke into audible sobs as he told the story.
Prosecutors said the two were killed because members of the militia believed Roark had betrayed them.

Jeff Gluck, USA TODAY Sports
Ryan Newman believes Michael Waltrip Racing orchestrated a controversial sequence of events that led to his ouster from NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver said Monday.
Newman was en route to making the 10-race playoff with a victory Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway until Clint Bowyer spun out by himself with seven laps left.
Radio chatter and in-car camera footage later revealed Bowyer may have spun out on purpose. Afterward, Bowyer lost two laps and teammate Brian Vickers mysteriously pitted, helping MWR's Martin Truex Jr. make the Chase instead of Newman (the outcome was decided on a tiebreaker).
Newman initially declined to comment on the possible funny business, but after getting more information said he believed MWR directly manipulated the outcome.
"It's pretty obvious to me the decisions that were made and the communication led up to that," he said. "What happened to me on Saturday night is the toughest thing I've ever gone through in any kind of racing in my 30 years of driving because of the way everything went down. In hindsight, it hurt that much more."
Newman suggested NASCAR's response to the situation would send a message to the garage either way. Officials are said to be reviewing the race after initially telling USA TODAY Sports there was no foul play involved.
"In the end, how NASCAR handles this situation is extremely important for all of us," Newman said. "... We spent 26 races to get to that point, and we missed it by a tie, but we also missed it by what happened. Other people can say that they were in. I mean, it's just so touchy."
Jeff Gordon also missed the Chase when MWR's tactics put Joey Logano into the top 10 and bumped Gordon out. Newman said he was "extremely disappointed" in the sequence of events and said the fallout has been difficult both emotionally and physically.
Gordon has not commented publicly except to tweet: "Was feeling pretty bad about missing the #Chase but after seeing all the details coming out now I feel even worse for @RyanNewman39."
The aftermath of Saturday night's race has left a black cloud hanging over NASCAR during a time normally reserved for discussing which drivers are the championship favorites.
Former driver and current ESPN analyst Ricky Craven appeared emotional during a SportsCenter interview on Monday, saying he was "sickened, honestly, with what appears to be a manipulation by Michael Waltrip Racing to get into the Chase."
"It leaves a bad taste in my mouth," Craven said. "... There's plenty of reason to be suspicious."
Newman suggested the controversy could have been addressed on Saturday night had officials been monitoring Bowyer's channel. And they should have, he said, because drivers were told to play "fair and square" in the pre-race drivers meeting.
"We knew there was potential for this going into this race, so I guess I would have hoped we would have been able to monitor the situation," Newman said. "This is something that's brought up every Richmond drivers meeting. It's like we saw there was a potential for fire but nobody grabbed the extinguisher."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats running for the House and Senate are pouncing on Mitt Romney's remarks that nearly half of all Americans think they are "victims" entitled to government help and that he doesn't worry about what he called "those people."
Nevada Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley says her opponent in the Senate race, Sen. Dean Heller, is reading from the same script as Romney when it comes to struggling middle-class families.
Romney sent a ripple down-ballot when a secretly recorded video surfaced Monday of his remarks at a fundraiser in Boca Raton, Fla., on May 17.
Romney has neither disavowed nor apologized for his remarks, instead casting his comments as evidence of a fundamental difference with President Barack Obama over the economy.
Democratic candidates already are using Romney's statements to raise campaign cash.

An Elkhart man has been charged with seven counts of having or producing child pornography.
An investigator from the Indiana State Police discovered through a peer-to-peer program that Jeffrey Cripe, 38, had downloaded multiple videos that were likely child pornography.
According to Mary L. Hatton from the United States Attorney's Office, the detective was able to view through screen captures that Cripe had about 41 files which had been previously identified as child pornography. In March and April, investigators sent a subpoena to the internet service provider to identify the IP address.
They executed a search warrant in July and found one laptop and two desktop computers that all had child pornography, as found by the forensic examiner.
Cripe was present at the search. He was arrested on July 24 and had an initial hearing in front of the magistrate on that same day.
He was charged with:
three counts of distribution of child pornography
two counts of enticing a minor to engage in sexually explicit activity
one count of production of child pornography
one count of possession of child pornography.
He had a detention hearing on July 27 and was remanded into custody. According to Hatton, he is still in jail.
The investigation against Cripe was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, which is a project led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section.

The beginning of 2014 begins my 35th year of world building and map making. Finding a good resource(s) for both world creation and creating maps has always been difficult. The following list has made my life easier creating worlds and creating maps.
The Library
Either your local library or via the net, finding books and examples of maps you do not have to pay for to look at will make life easier
A Used Book Store:
Anyone who is into World Building or Creating a Map should get a world atlas. They an cost a great deal of money new. Going to a Used Book Store you can purchased a 5 or 10 year old atlas for pennies on the dollar. I am still using a Wold Atlas from an encyclopedia set that is over 30 years old.
Any other suggestions?

Thrills under the Big Top

(Page 4 of 4)
The Wheel of Steel defies the forces of gravity as four daredevils including Flavia Costa, a 5'll" female acrobat, propel themselves with cat-like ease in and out the spinning double wheel. Costa demonstrates that she has no fear as she undertakes an unfathomable attempt balancing dangerously on her partner's shoulders as they spin the wheel rising 40 feet in the air.
Also, the legendary King Charles Troupe hailing from New York City – now in its third generation with Ringling Bros. – displays their NBA-worthy basketball skills while perched on unicycles, some teetering more than 10 feet in the air.
"The entire show is amazing to me," said McClain, who is eager to share that enthusiasm with his audience. "I get everybody involved, whether you are up on your feet dancing or clapping, everyone will enjoy it. "That's my goal – to have everyone be a part of the show and having fun."
He encourages families to stop by the pre-show, which begins an hour before the performance. The audience can venture down to the arena floor and meet the cast, pick up some dance moves, try on costumes, learn circus skills (like juggling) from the famous Ringling Bros. Clown Alley, and practice some tricks with the King Charles Troupe.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus
Wednesday through Sunday, March 13-17. Times vary. Tickets are $20-$80, with Circus Celebrity seats at $160.

WHEELING - Christiaan Minella's line Friday night read like this: zero goals, zero assists, a plus-1 and four shots. Nothing to write home about, but his Wheeling teammates know what he means.
''I'm not the goal scorer on the team, so what I can bring to the table I do,'' Minella said. ''That's playing physical, getting in on the forecheck and getting the puck out of our zone.
''I'm just doing that to the best of my ability and if the puck goes in for me sometimes great, but if not at least I'll keep it out of our net.''

Elmira's Artem Demkov is flanked by Wheeling's Luke Pither (21) and Andrew Hotham while trying to push the puck Friday night.
The leader of a ferocious forecheck, Minella and everyone else in a Nailers uniform was in the face of the Elmira Jackals from start to finish, leading to a shot differential of 35-10 for the home team more than halfway through the third period. Because of that, it's not hard to figure how Wheeling's fifth straight game - all victories - at WesBanco Arena ended.
Chris Barton scored a pair of goals, Daultan Leveille and Paul Crowder had a goal and an assist each and Andrew Hotham added two helpers as the Nailers (11-10-5 - 27) routed the Jackals (12-12-3 - 27) by a 5-1 count.
''He backchecks hard, he forechecks hard, he never loses a battle in the D-zone,'' Hotham said of Minella. ''Those are definitely the kind of guys you need.
''Those are the kind of guys who make everyone else work harder. Without guys like that, the puck's not staying in their zone and it's not getting out of ours.''
That wasn't much of an issue here.
Barton rang one off the crossbar and in 9:38 in on the power play for a 1-0 Nailers lead. It was the ninth consecutive time Wheeling has scored with the man advantage, coinciding with the arrival of Hotham via trade.
''That's why we went after him.'' Nailers coach Clark Donatelli said.
A little more than two minutes later, Barton struck again as Hotham found him coming off the bench. Barton skated alone down the slot and wristed his fifth past Jackals goaltender Maxime Clermont.
Elmira beat Peter Delmas (4-0-0) for the only time at 6:35 of the second when Artem Demkov wristed the puck past Delmas' shoulder for his team-leading 16th.
But the Nailers, as they have seemed to have continually done during this winning streak, counter punched. Peter Merth's shot went wide but Phillipe Lefebvre was there to bang home the rebound for his seventh.
''You're not going to score if you don't shoot the puck and that's something we've stressed,'' Hotham said. ''We've done well doing that.''
Wheeling put the finishing touches on things with a pair of goals 21 seconds apart early in the third period.
Leveille, stationed in front, deflected home a Hotham point shot for his third at 4:02, and that was immediately followed by the eighth of the season from Crowder, who whistled a one-timer into the cage as he was falling down in the slot.
''The whole face-off play worked exactly how it was planned,'' Leveille said. ''It wasn't just the tip, it was (Luke) Pither winning the draw back to the point and a good shot.''
Delmas stopped 15 of the 16 shots he faced to lower his goals-against average to 2.00. The Nailers and Jackals are back at it at 7 tonight on Wheeling ice.
''We're capitalizing on our chances and we're getting pucks to the net and the puck is going in,'' Donatelli said. ''The guys are paying attention to detail in their personal game so each guy knows what he's going to bring to the game. It's a little chip wall play, your stick is going to be in the passing lane or it's a deflection.
''That's the best thing, when they do something, have success and everyone is on the same page. They start really believing in it.''

Miami's Coles was one of a kind
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- IT WAS saddening to hear about the recent death of coach Charlie Coles, who as a basketball coach loomed just as large as any of those football coaches at Miami University of Ohio.
Coles died June 7 in Oxford, at age 71. His funeral was Thursday at the RedHawks' Millet Hall, with several former stars serving as pallbearers.
Of all the "opposing" coaches I've covered in 11 years on the Marshall beat, he was the best - the wittiest, charming, friendliest and most insightful of them all.
Remember this: For many Marshall fans, particularly the older ones, Miami is the Evil Empire. Coles knew this and he knew he was in for a hazing when he came to Cam Henderson Center.
He not only endured it, he interacted with fans in a way to diffuse it. Back in 2002, he told of dealing with a particularly salty heckler in Huntington.
"I wasn't yelling anything bad [back at him]," Coles said. "We had a grumpy guy up there and I asked his wife, 'Is he always this mean?' Normally, Marshall people are much more kind. This guy had a bad day. I don't know who he was, but he was having a bad day. He was all over me, but that didn't bother me.
"But hey, I enjoy it, and I enjoy Marshall."
Really, he did. He was one of two Mid-American Conference coaches who legitimately mourned the Thundering Herd's move to Conference USA.
(The other was Dan Dakich, then of Bowling Green. He succinctly said, "I'm going to miss Marshall. They give a s--.")
"I heard the rumor ... Marshall's leaving and I said, 'Why?'" Coles exclaimed at the 2003 basketball media day. "They're going to play in a football league with UAB? Please, please. Marshall better stay put.
"OK? Stay put, Marshall! We love you. Stay put. It doesn't seem like we love you, but we love you!"
Nobody particularly liked playing Coles' RedHawks, whether they were championship caliber or just middle-of-the-road. They were always sticky on defense and in no hurry to shoot at the other end.
After a 44-39 loss, Western Michigan coach Steve Hawkins remarked, "I just wanted off the bench." The RedHawks and Herd were tied at 42 in regulation in January 2004, a game Miami won 51-48 in overtime.
That game was so bad, it was funny. And Coles was funny, too.
And finally, a golf note: I am going to make the Tiger Woods prediction nobody else dares to utter.
With 78 PGA Tour victories, he will run down Sam Snead's record of 82. But he will not, not, not catch Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors.
In the end, we will look back on his knee injuries and the fire-hydrant-induced exile that cost him four major starts and sapped his momentum.

|First-day student count up in Holyoke School District
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
School officials are cautiously optimistic about the increased enrollment numbers for the start of the 2009-2010 school year. Enrollment increased by 32, according to first-week attendance in Holyoke School District Re-1J.
Total school enrollment was 592 as of Tuesday, the beginning of the district's second week of school. That includes 299 in grades K-5, 282 in grades 6-12 and 11 at Holyoke Alternative High School.
The first week of school one year ago, enrollment was reported at 560, including 10 in the new Alternative High School.
For state funding purposes, the actual student count is linked to the Oct. 1 enrollment, not this first-week count. The funded full-time equivalent (FTE) student count covers an average of the student numbers for five years. It also counts kindergartners and special education preschoolers as half students.
First-week counts in the district dropped steadily from 2001-2007, but stayed steady last year and increased this year.
Student count in grades 9-12 at HHS is 163 this year, down six from last year's first-week count of 169.
Last year's K-5 enrollment was turned in at 273, while this year there are 299 students, for an increase of 26.
Last year's fourth grade class was the largest in the district with 53 students, followed closely by the kindergarten and first grade classes with 52 each.
This year, three classes have 55 students enrolled to share largest-class honors. They are the kindergarten, first grade and fifth grade classes.
Smallest classes are the senior class with 32 and third grade, seventh grade and eighth grade, all with 37. Average class size is 45.
Enrollment in individual grades during the first few days of school for 2009-10 follows:
Kindergarten 55, first grade 55, second grade 53, third grade 37, fourth grade 44, fifth grade 55, sixth grade 45, seventh grade 37, eighth grade 37, freshmen 47, sophomores 40, juniors 44, seniors 32 and Alternative High School 11.
Enrollment for the first week of school in past years compares as follows to the 592 count this year: 560 in 2008, 560 in 2007, 572 in 2006, 622 in 2005, 658 in 2004, 658 in 2003, 668 in 2002, 686 in 2001 and 660 in 2000.

Phil LaMarr
Birth Name: Phil LaMarr
Born: 01/24/1967
Birth Place: Los Angeles, California, USA
If you watched cartoons starting in the late '90s, you likely heard the dulcet tones of Phil LaMarr, who took his improv background and Yale University schooling to become one of the most respected, dependable, and unique voice actors around. His first voice acting role came on the short-lived "Mister T" (NBC 1983-85) when he was just 16 years old, but that early taste of acting didn't dissuade LaMarr from attending Yale, where he became a part of the Purple Crayon improv group. Following his graduation in 1989, he picked up small roles, both live and voice, in TV shows, movies, and video games. One of his first notable roles during this era was in "Pulp Fiction" (1994), Quentin Tarantino's ...

.........I guess skulls and such is fine for some people but I don't think they have the class that a RE 500 Bullet deserves.
My dealer has offered to bring it in and address my issue, which is very nice. But, I'm looking for community input - I don't want to create bogus expenses where none are due.... but, I'm also not happy with the misalignment.
@ GlennF thanks for posting the picture of the '50~ish bullet. Notice the screws are not equal distance to the earth. However, on the current production, the screws ARE equally high up the tank wall, thus, the badge is mounted cocked upwards.
Also:What about the screw holes on the left side? That badge is perfectly aligned on my bike....
"But that's just me. I actually wouldn't mind having NOTHING on the tank."
At least if there was nothing on the tank you would be able to understand why everyone keeps asking, "Who made it?" When they are standing there looking at the gold ROYAL ENFIELD on the tank and ask that same question I want to reply, "DAH, what does it say right there?"

Goodguys 10th Annual Del Mar Nationals - Get It Into Gear!Written by Johnny Hunkins on October 1, 2010 The Goodguys 10th Annual Del Mar Nationals Near San Diego Was The Place To Be This Past April.
Word has gotten out quickly: The Goodguys Rod & Custom Association isn't just for old guys with '32 Fords and lounge chairs anymore. The world of hot rods has changed ever so perceptibly in favor of the younger (younger feeling?), more active rodder. In the past few years that Goodguys has embraced the '64-and-up muscle car audience, their ranks have swelled with street machines, Pro Touring muscle cars, and even the occasional '70s disco-bumper machine. Yeah, we even sneak our project cars into the mix, and nobody seems to mind. That's a far cry from the geriatrics of past years. Add in a Street Challenge autocross track, and the youngsters are hangin' on the fence by the hundreds.
As a coast-to-coast organization, the Goodguys people have their work cut out for them as they trek across the country, hitting all the regions on the way. Understandably, the Southwest gets the lion's share of the attention in the beginning of the year as the rest of the country emerges from its winter slumber. With much of the country socked in by inclement weather this spring, it was sunny and mild in Del Mar, California, the weekend of April 9-11. We were there to soak up the SoCal hot rod action and capture the Street Challenge Autocross, choosing to focus on our favorite muscle cars.
If you've never been to a Goodguys show, you don't have to haul all the way to Southern California. By the time you read this, the Goodguys will have their travelling road show in high gear in the Midwest and the East Coast. If you take your hot rods and muscle cars seriously, you haven't gotten the full experience until you've become a Goodguy!

Tom Fogelsong is just 23, but he's already assembled his first muscle car on his own: a 5.3L LM7-powered '67 Camaro that he autocrosses all the time. The Tempe, Arizona, resident did the LS engine swap on his own and added a liberal dose of Hotchkis suspension components. Fogelsong's grandfather was the original owner, who purchased the Camaro in February of '67. Fogelsong remembers riding in the car everywhere as a kid.We dig custom pinstriping, and Cisneros Pinstriping (www.CisnerosPinstriping.com) was on hand at Del Mar to demonstrate the finer techniques of this resurging art form. You can see that even the youngsters were spellbound by it.We'd seen Turn Key Engine Supply's '67 Nova in Super Chevy magazine, and really enjoyed seeing it in person (www.TurnKeyEngine.com). This modernized street rat features a 6.0L LS engine with a T4 Turbonetics turbo and PWR air-to-air intercooler that puts out 1,050 hp at 14 psi of boost with 116 octane, and 750 hp at 6 psi of boost with pump gas.At Del Mar, we checked out GM Performance Parts' new E-Rod engine package. The emission-compliant package features the 6.2L 430hp LS3 engine from the C6 Corvette, and includes everything needed for a smog-legal installation into any hot rod. We've picked up one for an installation story-stay tuned as we drop it into a '76 Nova!We find a lot of new products that make their debut at Goodguys, and the Select Series of shocks by Ridetech qualifies as one of the coolest things we've seen in a long time. These mono-tube construction shocks have a damping valve that can be changed with the flip of a cockpit-mounted switch. One position provides a soft ride on the open road and the other firms things up for aggressive track work. It's like having two radically different suspensions in one car. For a set of four, the price starts at $1,200.When we saw this '61 AMC Rambler owned by Jim and Marsha Hawes of Carlsbad, California, it stopped us in our tracks. We don't know much about it; we hovered over this car for half an hour to find its owner, but to no avail. All we know is that it has a 454 big-block Chevy and a six-speed transmission. What sets it apart-besides its Rambler origins-is its single-minded dedication to the Trans-Am/NASCAR ethic. Ironically, Trans Am hadn't made its appearance by 1961, so it's a bit of a heretic, and NASCAR hadn't advanced to the technology level you see here with the tube-frame chassis and big-block mill. Let your eyes pour over these photos and try to imagine what it would be like to open this baby up on a high-speed road course ...
Albert Melchior gets the long-distance award for hauling his fresh '73 Trans Am all the way from Toronto, Canada. And just as you'd suspect, he wasn't about to let it gather dust in the car show when he unloaded it in Del Mar. We can't fault him for anything, well, except maybe for letting Bill Howell of MuscleRides.com wheel this thing around the autocross.On his tech sheet, Dan Weishaar of San Diego says he's a professional idiot, and yet enigmatically he's not in upper-level management. We'd say he's pretty sharp-minded to turn the barge-like handling of a '68 Road Runner into a corner-carving machine. Weishaar relies on a complement of Hotchkis suspension goodies, Wilwood disc brakes, BFG KDW tires, a manually shifted 727 trans, and plenty of snot from a short-deck "B" engine to hustle this beast around corners. Can we get a "yee-haw!"Ralph Cimarusti of Valley Center, California, brought out this meticulously prepared street/strip '72 Nova. We're just diving into our '68 Nova project so we were all over this thing. Unfortunately, the owner failed to show, so details are limited. We think the car was built or tuned by Phil Confer of Bob's Carbs in Oceanside, California. It's got a full 'cage, and a serious big-block resides underhood. We place it conservatively in the high 10s based on what we saw.Don Prudhomme's '71 Plymouth 'Cuda Top Fuel Funny Car and matching car carrier was a big hit with young and old alike. Remember the Snake and Mongoose Hot Wheels? They're collector items now, but we had 'em when they were new!Displayed at the Meguiar's booth, this '68 Mustang by Scott and Laura Taylor (Sacramento, California) is so nice, you'd think it never got near a dyno, but the couple swears by its 950hp dyno number. The 490-cube dual-quad small-block Ford uses nitrous to make those oats. Other goodies include a five-speed Tremec, 8-quart dry sump, custom frame, and Ridetech suspension.We don't know why we don't see more cars like Richard Trujillo's '69 Mustang coupe. These things are still as inexpensive as water, and as Trujillo has proven, they can be made to look absolutely sinister in satin black. It looks so wicked, we don't even mind the poverty steelies. The powertrain is a 302 small-block feeding a C4 automatic.Mitch Allread of Lancaster, California, had his Ford freak flag flying with this Powerstroke Deisel-powered rat rod '49 truck. This thing is all homebuilt custom using parts from so many different vehicles-plus a few he made on his own-that it defies classification. And this thing is huge too; the closest thing we can compare it to is the Blastolene Special owned by Jay Leno.

Need a better view of Uncle Harry's hairy nose? Just hover over his thumbnail and you're all set! Want more info about that remote-controlled beer pager without leaving your current page? Hover, friend. Hover.
It has become common practice for many sites and web apps to display certain types of "pop-up" UI elements on hover (mouse-over). For example, banner menus, contextual help, and preview cards (e.g., person cards, movie cards, etc.) all commonly display when users hover over a link, icon, thumbnail image or other UI element.
The good and the bad…
When using a mouse (or other device that controls cursor movement & interaction), this behavior can be really useful – allowing a single UI element (e.g., a link) to provide two different capabilities for hover and click. For example, it's common that hovering over a person's name link will display a person card; whereas clicking the name navigates to the person's profile.
The biggest criticism to allowing hover to invoke pop-up UIs has been the complaint that these pop-ups can appear without user intent – for example, when the user drags their mouse across a screen and inadvertently passes a hover help icon, a link, or a banner menu. This complaint is especially strong (and valid) when the pop-up interferes with a user task or displays something that the user considers of no value (e.g., an advertisement).
Enter the sustained hover!
Sustained hover is just what it sounds like...we don't display the pop-up on simple pass-by, but require that the pointer rest over the underlying UI element for a sustained period. This allows users to request the pop-up and usually prevents inadvertent display.
So, what's the right delay?
We believe that delay times should range from 300-700 ms, depending on a number of factors including the likelihood that the user's cursor will inadvertently come to rest on a particular UI element (largely determined by placement and density of pop-up UI hover targets) and user expectations driven from common industry practice.
For example, 300 ms appears to be the appropriate delay for invoking a banner menu. We have user data indicating that immediate display annoys users who intend to simply drag the cursor past the menu. However we've also found that if we set the delay to more than 300 ms users report that the menus feel "sluggish" (this is likely largely in comparison to the common industry practice of implementing zero delay or a very small delay).
On the other hand, object preview cards and the like are often invoked from lists or grids of data and are invoked on hover over thumbnails and/or displayed names of items. These types of elements often populate a fairly substantial portion of the UI; therefore it's generally more appropriate to allow for a little longer hover. In this case, we believe it to be a best practice to also provide a subtle, but immediate visual change to the underlying element. This is a good way to tell the user that a pop-up is coming if he just holds his little horsies for a half second or so
Does sustained hovering solve everything?
Nope. Unfortunately, this technique does not prevent inadvertent display in the less-common scenario in which users rest their cursor on an active UI element. It also doesn't tackle other concerns of hover-invoked UIs like how best practices for dismissal and how to handle touch screen interaction. I'll look to blabber about those in a future blog post.

Benjamin L. Cardin has been a national leader on health care, retirement security, the environment and fiscal issues since coming to Congress in 1987. In 2006, he was elected to the U.S. Senate where he currently serves on the Environment and Public Works (EPW), Finance, Foreign Relations, Budget and Small Business & Entrepreneurship committees. In the 112th Congress, he chairs the Water and Wildlife Subcommittee of EPW and he chairs the International Development and Foreign Assistance, Economic Affairs and International Environmental Protection Subcommittee of the Foreign Relations Committee.
The Washington Post has called Ben "a legislator's legislator," and that he "is sensible, tough-minded and independent." The Baltimore Sun has said, "He has been able to work both sides of the aisle" to help workers save for retirement and to champion the expansion of Medicare benefits.
In 2001, he was named by Worth Magazine as among the top "100 people who have influenced the way Americans think about money." In 2004, he was named to Treasury and Risk Management's list of "100 Most Influential People in Finance." In the 110th Congress, he received a grade of "A" from the NAACP and a score of 100 from the Human Rights Campaign. In the 111th Congress, Ben received a 100% rating from the League of Conservation Voters.
In the 111th Congress, Ben was successful in getting a guaranteed dental benefit included in the reauthorization of the Children's Health Insurance Program. The America Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) included his amendments to provide first-time homebuyers with an $8,000 tax credit, which was later extended through April 2010. Also included in ARRA was his amendment to raise the cap on surety bonds for small businesses from $2 million to $5 million.
Support for the Chesapeake Bay has been one of Ben's signature issues. In the 111th Congress, he authored the Chesapeake Clean Water and Ecosystem Restoration Act to reduce pollution and improve the health of the Chesapeake Bay through strong new enforcement tools and new grant authority. He also is a strong advocate for strengthening clean water protections, supporting increased funding for both traditional and innovative water infrastructure that can protect water quality.
As a member of the Senate Finance Committee in the 112th Congress, Ben brings with him the expertise he developed in dealing with many of the same issues while serving on the Ways & Means Committee for 17 years in the U.S. House of Representatives. During that time, many of his financial proposals were enacted into law, including those dealing with retirement security, health care and job training.
From 1987-2006, Ben represented Maryland's Third Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. In addition to serving on the on the House Ways & Means Committee, he also served on the Budget Committee, Public Works & Transportation Committee, Judiciary Committee, Ethics Committee, House Administration and the Select Committee on Homeland Security. In the House, he also served as the senior Democrat on the Trade Subcommittee and Human Resources Subcommittee of the Ways & Means Committee.
Ben also has a long-standing interest in foreign affairs and human rights. He has been a Commissioner on the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (the U.S. Helsinki Commission) since 1993, serving as Chairman in the 111th Congress and Co-Chairman in the 112th Congress. He also serves as Vice President of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Parliamentary Assembly. In the 111th Congress, he also is a member of the National Security Working Group monitoring arms control issues.
As a member of the House, Ben's legislation to increase the amount Americans can save for retirement was enacted into law. His proposal to expand Medicare to include preventive benefits such as colorectal, prostate, mammogram, and osteoporosis screening was also enacted into law. He also authored legislation to fund graduate medical education, guarantee coverage for emergency health services, and improve the Medicare drug benefit for seniors.
In the House, he often was a voice for our most vulnerable citizens. Ben introduced legislation to help those leaving public assistance get the job training, education and childcare they need to work their way out of poverty. In 1999, his bill to increase education and support services for foster care children between ages 18 and 21 was signed into law. He also authored bills to expand child support, hold fathers accountable, improve the welfare-to-work program and increase the childcare tax credit.
In 1998, Ben was appointed Chairman of the Special Study Commission on Maryland Public Ethics Law by the Maryland General Assembly. In 1997, he co-chaired the Bipartisan Ethics Task Force in an effort to reform ethics procedures in the U.S. House of Representatives.
As a Maryland legislator, Ben served in the Maryland House of Delegates from 1967 1986. He was Speaker from 1979 1986 and prior to that served as chairman of the Ways & Means Committee from 1974 1979. As Speaker, he reformed Maryland's property tax system, the school financing formula and the ethical standards for elected officials.
A 1967 graduate of the University of Maryland School of Law (1st in his class), he earned his B.A. degree in 1964 from the University of Pittsburgh (cum laude). He also holds honorary degrees from the University of Baltimore School of Law (1990); University of Maryland at Baltimore (1993); Baltimore Hebrew University (1994); Goucher College (1996); and Stevenson (formerly Villa Julie College), (2007).
Committed to ensuring that all Americans have legal representation, Ben served as chairman of the Maryland Legal Services Corp. from 1988-1995. He was appointed as a member of the Board of Trustees of The James Madison Fellowship Foundation in 2010. From 1988-1999, he served on the St. Mary's College Board of Trustees, and in 2002 he was appointed to St. Mary's Advisory Board, Center for Study of Democracy. He has been a Trustee of the Baltimore Council on Foreign Affairs since 1999, and in 2003 joined the Johns Hopkins University's Institute for Policy Studies' National Advisory Board.
He served on the Goucher College Board of Trustees from 1999 to 2008. In 1991, he was appointed to the University of Maryland School of Law Board of Visitors, and in 1998, he was appointed to the UMBC President's Board of Visitors. In 2007, he was appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy's Board of Visitors.
Ben is married to Myrna Edelman Cardin and his daughter Deborah and son-in-law Jonathan Willis have two daughters, Madeline and Julia.

May 31, 2016
Mississippi's unemployment rate dipped in March, as more people found jobs and fewer people were job hunting.
The decrease, reported Friday by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, lined up with a separate survey showing employer payrolls continue to creep up in Mississippi.
The jobless rate fell to 9.4 percent from 9.6 percent in February, thought it remained above the 9 percent rate of March 2012.
The main factor driving down the jobless rate was a 7,000-person decrease in the labor force, as some people stopped looking for work.
Unemployed Mississippians fell to 125,000. That's down from 128,000 in February, but up from 120,000 from March 2012.
The separate BLS survey of payrolls shows non-farm employees rose by fewer than 1,000 from February, but remained 15,000 above year-ago levels.

Interview on The Village Voice
No one sounds like French metal band Gojira--or, rather, they sound like no one else. They bear the European death metal hallmarks of speed and rhythmic trickiness, but instead of reveling in the blood, guts, nihilism, etc., that characterize the lyrics of their peers, Gojira concern themselves with saving the whales. (Yes, literally.) In the brootalworld of heavy metal, it's, well, weird.
Anchored by brothers Joe and Mario Duplantier (on guitar and drums, respectively), the four-piece band retain their original lineup now 11 years since their debut. (No drama? Also kind of weird.) We spoke to Joe about the odd upbringing that continues to influence his music--and about how to explain metal to your grandmother.

You've said you and Mario grew up in an old house that was considered kind of strange in your town. Could you talk about that a little more?
It's pretty striking when you go in this family house where we grew up. It's not like normal houses. It's very raw. It's open to the wind. There's dust and leaves everywhere, but it doesn't matter. It's an old house...It was very free. That was a big influence on us, I think.
Our parents were artists, and my mother was born in the states, so she had a different attitude and way of expressing herself. She was...louder than other moms. [Laughs] You know how in France, people talk super quiet. So, we had this American mom, and our dad is a painter, and they're not the kind that teach you how to be polite and to live properly. Our house was a happy mess, without heat. Just with fire in the winter. It was tough, but a very happy childhood. I couldn't understand sometimes other kids because they were very different. They would play rugby and do stuff that was really common in our area when we were doing theatre, music, and stuff like that in the house. The house was also far away from the village, and it was surrounded by trees, with forest animals. For me, it's kind of normal to be not like everybody else.
It's interesting that you grew up feeling different from others, like an outsider, because your music is so unique among heavy music. People call it death metal, but you don't sing about gory, bloody things. You have a more uplifting message. How would you classify your own music? What kind of metal would you call it?
It's hard for me to classify. I like to say it's music. I know it sounds cliché, but I like to say we're just playing music. But of course it's metal. It comes from the gut, really. We don't have so many influences from other bands. For example, growing up, we were not part of a larger group of several bands. There wasn't really a scene. So, I think that's helped us to be more ourselves, and we were not in competition with another band, for example, trying to go faster than them or heavier. We were really on our own, and I'm really glad because we didn't have too many influences. And concerning the lyrics and the theme, we don't need to exaggerate the difficulties of life and how "gore" it is already. It's enough to talk about your emotions, and it's gore enough. You don't need to add all these clichés, you know, bloody images and stuff like that... READ THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW

Montanans have been asked to weigh in on a number of ballot issues ranging from the health care laws to illegal immigrants but one of the most heated issues is Montana's medical marijuana regulations.
A "yes" vote for this measure supported tougher regulations passed by the legislature and a vote "no" supported repealing the stiffer regulations and reverting to more open medical marijuana rules passed by voters in 2004.
With about 91 percent of Montana's precincts reporting, the initiative is passing with about 57 percent of the vote.
The new medical marijuana law restricts the number of patients each caregiver can supply to three and caregivers are not allowed to be compensated for providing patients with medical marijuana.
Patients are only allowed to reimburse their caregiver for the state application fee, and if patients choose not to name a caregiver they are allowed to possess 12 seedlings, four mature flowering plants and one ounce of usable marijuana.
If patients do choose to have a caregiver they give up their right to grow their own plants.
We spoke to state Representative Champ Edmunds who said he thinks Montana's new medical marijuana program will work much better than the old program, I-148.
"We passed a law last session that was what we think the people were asking for," said Edmunds. "I think the vote tonight showed we were right. That is what the people wanted because that's why they voted to approve what we passed last session."
Edmunds says even with the new initiative, medical marijuana is still illegal on a Federal level but he says as far as Montana's new medical marijuana program goes, people will agree this time around there is much less of a grey area.

"Australia's economy grew a moderate 0.5 per cent last quarter thanks to a fresh burst of business investment, but lower export revenues, government cutbacks and a cresting mining boom mean tougher times may lie ahead."
Yikes! What will that do to house prices?
"In September, the extent of Arctic sea ice declined to its lowest level since reliable records began. Just last week, an Alaskan study found new evidence that the Arctic permafrost is releasing huge quantities of methane, a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. These trends are what the science has warned about for 25 years: positive feedback effects that are hastening the rate of climate change."
And much of this is caused by coal exported from Australia. So while many Australians glessfully celebrated the resources boom it was at great expense to the environment. Idiots.
"Economic growth is set for a fall, business investment will hit wall and the government is heading for a deficit this financial year rather than a surplus.
Those are chief findings of a dismal set of forecasts assembled by Australia's leading business economists for their annual forecasting conference."
How did Julia and Swanny manage to sqander the benefits of the mining boom? Oh that's right they rolled a first tem prime minister and scuttled the MSPT. The electorat are not going to be in a forgiving mood when the country is in recession come elections time.
This made me laugh:
"Real GDP per capita flat in the quarter
Disposable income down 1.1 per cent in quarter
Household saving at 10.6 per cent in Q3
GDP deflator down 2 per cent over the year
Terms of trade down 4 per cent in the quarter"
Laugh until you cry will be the norm for the future numbers.
That is why my savings rate is 25% minimum, no new debt and all investment (incl super) is preservation of capital only - in AUD backed by government guarantee.
When Glenn Stevens prints about 270 billion and hands this to foreign markets or other central banks then I may adjust strategy.
GO the ASX! Banks all rising strongly on already predicted record profits after rates skimming announcements which kicked off today. Go figure. Ailing economy and indicators all point to a crash landing. The banks will scam what they can while they can.
Repeat after me: There is no housing shortage.
"As an example, Sydney's current population of 4.6 million occupies 1.6 million dwellings, resulting in an occupancy rate around 2.8 persons per household. Theoretically, if the occupancy rate rose to 2.9 persons per household then more than 50,000 dwellings would no longer be required. Sydney's current population growth rate demands roughly 20,000 new dwellings per year, so one impact of a theoretical increase of just 0.1 in Sydney's occupancy rate would be that no additional dwellings would need to be constructed for two and a half years."
i'm no property bull but don't think we need to worry about that, for example I don't think anyone would move in with you, or your parent or your kid, So population per house hold would stay the same. what they are saying is if seriously gonna move in with another grump, optimist gonna move in with pest from the west or if half the population move to Mars that would create a housing problem, besides 1 person is born every minute therefore they will eventually need their own house to live in unless they house share for the rest of their lives.
Umm.. yeah and people die too. Doh!
I wonder if the guy that baught ANZ at 27.63 on 18th October still has a job.
"Australia's economy grew a moderate 0.5 per cent last quarter thanks to a fresh burst of business investment, but lower export revenues, government cutbacks and a cresting mining boom mean tougher times may lie ahead."
Yikes! What will that do to house prices?
Wasn't so sure about the new format but hey if you're giving me the featured comment I like it!
Be interesting to see won't it but cheap money is likely to lend support if anything. Time will tell despite all of your hopes and continuous calls for major falls. Time will tell and if there are not major falls "Al" virtually everybody who reads this Blog will know that your were wrong but being impervious to comments as you are don't worry it will just bounce off you.
I'm going to have to start putting a little effort into mine from now on.
reply to econorat's reply. i forgot to add that i am an old age pensioner. so us minority must suffer? i guess that you are financially secure?
TEN just went to the market. How many millions have they paid out to Murdoch and his buddies and now they have the hide to stick their hand out again?
Avoid like the plague.
I stand by my earlier call of waiting till it goes to / below 10 cents then buy all you can...
By then all tv will be via tcpip from the US. You will be able to subscribe to the Australia channel where they will show Home and Away, Neighbours and Prisoner. How wonderful.

Hi guys, anyone can shed some light on whatever is happening with QBE this morning? Why the sudden drop?
Hmmm, bit odd.On fair volume as well so I would be looking for an announcement tomorrow. This looks like insiders knowing something we dont.
Nothing will be done about climate change. QBE will be squeezed by rising claims and the the inability to extract higher premiums in an increasingly chaotic global economy.
Could they be revising their exposure to the US hurricane? Just guessing...
Other possibilities incl a selldown from insto investors on the back of recent climate change warnings or a selldown ahead of the coming market correction as insurers tend to have considerable exposure to stock markets via their stat funds... Perhaps they just need to write off something from a recent acquisition... who knows...
Allan, nothing CAN be done about climate change it is a natural phenomenon. I know Gillard sees herself as on an equal of God but she is in for a shock. However your point is relevant because people do respond to both real and imagined climate change, however i would have thought that the down turn in price would be a slower longer term trend. This is so steep it looks dodgy.
The overwhelming consenus is that the sudden temperature increase, rise in the oceans and melting of the polar caps is caused by anthropomorphic effects ir carbon dioxide and other green gasses emitted by human activity.
But you are right it is not in human nature to cooperate until an absoulute crisis causes (in this case) billions to die.
Avoid insurance companies.
Going down again.. 4.81% so far at $10.09 around 14:30 aest.
On Swan's budget stupidity:
While Swan is claiming to have a budget with a slight surplus, we all know it is a deficit save for a few accounting tricks that Joe Hockey probably wishes he had thought of during the last election campaign.
As a result we have a deficit without the PR benefits of a deficit which include the government rabitting on about the stimulus affects of the carbon tax compensation which were designed to stimulate consumer spending on the QT. As there remain (so I'm told) many people who actually listen when Swan talks, Swan has given away his chance to show that he is trying to stimulate the economy and lift consumer spending to support the stimulus from the RBA's rate cuts.
Instead we are caught in a pretend surplus existing only to defend the government's non existent economic credentials without the psychological benefits of the stimulus components of the deficit we really have.
Have to disagree with you Seriously. Though I despise Canberra, the whole shebang, with a passion, and I make very little if any distinction between the two sides of politics - they've both got their own minuses and minuses,- Swanny has done a tremenduous job bringing the post GFC budget back towards surplus. Sure, the last couple of billion has been a shifty to beat a tough deadline, but so what, when at its peak it was running, at over 40 billion in the red. And to do it while not getting a cent of that so called mining super profits tax. Pretty impressive. Question is, now the mining construction boom is peaking and the Ozzie dollar has been grinding down traditional employment in manufacturing and other sectors, how are we're are we going to get employment growth. . I'm with Allan that housing is a bubble, though I don't expect a spectacular implosion. Anyway, I think the dollar is a bit to strong going into next year.
but tax receipts are much higher than under Howard/Costello... so my question where has it all been going? We shouldn't have running primary deficits (year-on-year deficits) in 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 let alone still have a total fiscal deficit.
Re the post at 10.38... The local economy now appears to be in considerably worse shape than in 2008-2009 when the issues then were almost entirely international. The Govt bank debt guarantee fixed any threat to the local banks... (the short selling ban helped consumer sentiment too) and there wasn't really any other significant threats to the local economy during the GFC apart from that.
These days mining investment is slowing and the construction and manufacturing industries are in trouble... also hardly a week passes without a mid-tier construction, manufacturing or retail firm going bust.
This is not 2008-2009. This time we have real problems in the local economy and a local recession remains a real possibility for mid to late 2013.
I have some money in Term Deposits and can honestly say I am not worried about low & declining interest rates at all. Why? First & foremost my capital is safe, second, I make up the diffierence in the rate cut by adding from other incomes; the more they cut, the more I add...I guess, my little bank. RBA can cut as much as they like, I still won't buy large parcels of stocks or real estate as yet. I decide when to move into stocks and take up more risk or take up a big loan, certainly not the RBA.
I am using a similar logic. Based on cash is king I have money in cash deposits and gradually moving back into shares when high yielding bargains reach realistic values. My reaction to RBA cuts is I only buy basics that I require when needed which essentially means I don't spend unless I have too.
How come these overpaid clowns who run the 4 shaky pillars can't plan for any scenario on interest rates?Once again Blind Freddy and his seeing eye dog knew the cut would be 1/4% ,but 75% of these genii haven't brought down a reply. If Swan and his menicant master are so good for the country pass a law that part of their banking licence include a clause whereby any increase/decrease MUST be made within 3 hours of any Reserve Bank announcement.
No-one falls for that garbage any longer that cost of money counts in their decisions.
Waiting for the cut to come through must be costing you, what, $2 a day? $3?
Tough out there on struggle street. It's really not worth getting a bulging vein in your forehead over this.
Dear poor gummi feller. Please note that I am one of the pink eyes.Yes that's right a multi. I play this game as a diversion.
I just cannot stomach those polly [ANNA ]
ticians who sit around for about 7 weeks a year yelling at each other, then say what a wonderful job they are doing for the country.
I hope you have a great xmas.
Hi ED. In your post at 9.35 you say iron ore lost 1.80 to finish at 117.10... you mean it gained 1.80 right?
Ed: Indeed. It should say 'added'. Thanks. Amending now.
there are many of us small traders who mainly rely on income from fixed deposits. how about helping us and put inerest rates UP !
You're in the minority.
Must agree with ERat on this one. Private Debt v Savings in AUS - debt out weighs savings enormously (super.ann aside).
About 1 in 3 Australians have a mortgage. That sounds like a minority.
Based on your assumption. That is roughly 7.5M people with a mortgage. That is 7 in 11 working people have mortgage. So... more than 50%. Then we have credit cards, car loans, business loans etc. So... you are the minority.
Ah yes, debt = growth = prosperity for all. We must protect those who take on too much debt, at any cost.
I like the way you framed your argument. Aren't statistics fun? They can prove any point.
As usual conflicting reports of the world economy...for the coming weeks..As the Japanese continue to live in some kind economic dream..or let's say spend money like water..Money they have borrowed to finance their misconceptions ..the instructions that go along with this are now defunct...To be sure the world economy is not nearly as bad as these defunct instructions say..Times are changing...
I saw on telly this morn that the Nipponese have cakes for dogs that sell for $ 69.00 a slice.
Priorities would be a fine things.
Fantastic news about the rate cut yesterday. The economy must be in excellent shape.
Here, here. Mr Swans " Xmas present to hard working Australians with a mortgage !!! ". What a joke. What about a Chrissy present for the majority without a mortgage and savings Swanny ?
4500... perhaps you should try the foreign bank... sometimes we just have to be cheeky.
It has nothing to do with Swan. He is a floater. Going whichever way the currents and wind take him. Well soon we will fix that, we can flush him away with his crooked mates.
