A data table is a range that evaluates changing variables in a single formula. In other words, it's a simple what-if analysis: how does changing an input value change the results? You can examine the possibilities with a quick glance. (A data table isn't the same thing as the new table feature on the Insert tab.)
To illustrate their use, we'll add one to the simple mortgage calculator shown below. As is, you can change any of the input values to change the results. (It's generally a good practice to separate input and result cells.) We won't spend any time on building the calculator. You can download the demo workbook or refer to Table A for the formulas. The IFERROR() function isn't necessary, but consider using it if you plan to distribute the workbook to others. This function is new to Excel 2007; Excel 2003 users can use ISERROR() to inhibit errors.
Table A: Calculator formulas
Cell |
Formula |
Format |
Currency |
General |
Percentage |

Currency |
Now, let's suppose you want to compare changing interest rates - that's where a data table comes in. First, enter the data table's labels. They should be easy to glean from the result cells in your original sheet. In addition, the data table's first column should contain your variable. In this case, that's the changing interest rate. I used AutoFill to create this list. If you use formulas in the data table's first column, be sure to paste with values - data tables can't use formulas in the first column.
Now you're ready to enter the data table's references as follows:
- Select B11, and enter =E5 (the cell that contains the monthly payment formula in the result cell section of your original sheet).
- Select C11 and enter =E6.
- Select D11 and enter =E7.
You're ready to create the data table, but there's one last step. The variable input cell - in this case, that's the interest rate value - must equal the first value in your data table. The first interest rate in the data table is 2.5%. You must change the input value in B7 to 2.5% before you generate the data table. Do not skip this step.
To generate the data table, do the following:
- Select the data table range. In this case, that's A11:D30.
- Click the Data tab. In Excel 2003, choose Table from the Data menu and skip to step 4.
- Choose Data table from the What-If Analysis option in the Data Tools group.
- In the resulting dialog box, enter the input cell, B7, in the Column Input Cell (because the interest rate values are in a column, versus a row). This is the input value Excel will change for each row in the data table.
- Click OK and format the rest of the table as necessary.
The resulting data table shows how the monthly payment and other values change as the interest rate changes. By combining the original calculator with a data table, you have the best of both worlds. You can still use the calculator portion to change all of the input values and the data table will reflect the changing values with the fixed set of interest ranges (2.5% to 12%) for each mortgage scenario.
Once the data table is in place, you can't change any of the referencing cells (columns B, C, and D in this data table). Excel protects those cells. In addition, the data table formulas are a series of =TABLE() functions - this function is just for show. You can't use it in any other context.

I've made comments before about good and great prosecutors. The bottom line is these men can withhold information and otherwise ruin the lives of honest men merely because they some how get caught in the gears. While it can happen, actions like this are grossly negligent and speak volumes to the character of the man holding the position.
But it gets better:
Sounds like a really nice guy huh? Yeah it just gets better. Flip over and read the whole steaming pile if you want to. I suggest stashing the sharp objects.
State Sponsored Criminal: Christopher Jones
Because when you're a prosecutor all you need to do to destroy someone's life is be a little unethical, then the state will destroy them for you.

This paper presents three case studies of risk-based standards from Great Britain: the pre-liberalisation generation planning standard, the present method for setting operational reserve requirements, and the transmission network planning standard. These illustrate a number of key issues in developing planning and operational standards for wind, including: the benefits of risk-based standards in adapting to new circumstances; the importance of considering model assumptions carefully when interpreting risk calculations; the difficulty in calculating the costof risk; and the need to account for uncertainty in system background.The transmission network planning standard is studiedin particular detail, especially how the present combination of deterministic and probabilistic sections might evolve for use in a future power system with a very high renewable penetration.

Tom Frutchey does not like criticism of his many failings as City Manager of Pacific Grove.
Recently, to intimidate a resident who told the City Council about her strong concerns about City staff insubordination – the City Manager hired a lawyer to write her a strong letter of reproach.
I was at that meeting – it was a wild few minutes of discourse for Council meetings around here, but it did not result in fisticuffs, and there wasn't even any name calling. The Mayor did well to allow the back and forth to occur.
(By the way, the woman Frutchey tried to intimidate is the same life-long resident that former Mayor Dan Cort wrongly called a "moron." — Wrong technically, because she's very bright, and obviously wrong morally and ethically.)
However, by the end it was clear that the City Manager had not quite followed the City Council's directions, so the concerns she raised were reasonable.
City Manager objects to a vivid Analogy !
At a recent City meeting another resident was so fed up with Frutchey's harmfully goofy acts she described the city's efforts to increase taxes as resembling the irrational desperation of a "coke whore." (Likely meaning someone so desperate for money they prostitute themselves.)
Well, even though no one ever said Frutchey was a "coke whore" apparently the City Manager took it personally anyway. So now he is spending a lot of his very expensive taxpayer paid time (salary upwards of $150,000) trying to to stop these embarrassing opinions from getting said at what he seems to regard as "his meetings."
So at the April Council meeting this Wednesday Frutchey is trying to strengthen the Council policy (which has absolutely no force of law) to cut off speakers if they offend his mercurial sensibilities.
There's just a few teensy problems with Frutchey's Censorship efforts – they are probably UnConstitutional – in two different ways, and attempt to violate our open meeting law to boot.
That's from our California Local Open Meeting Law (Ralph M. Brown Act) Section 54954.3.(c)
The key portion is —
"Shall Not Prohibit Public Criticism"
Then there's our Federal and California Constitutions that along with our Supreme Courts strongly insure we get to criticize government until we run out of words.
I am not alone in the opinion that of all the different kinds of free speech – our Political speech gets the highest form of protection from Courts. And our Political Free Speech is precisely what PG City Manager Frutchey is attacking.
If the City Manager objects to an analogy – what's next?
Will he object to Alliteration or perhaps Assonance (because it sounds kind of nasty)?
Will Frutchey hire an English teacher to referee City Council meetings – so that no metaphors, analogies, allegories or even the dreaded corollaries are ever again expressed at a Council meeting. From now on – literal expressions only.
Stay tuned for more of City Manager Tom Frutchey's non-stop madcap antics – embraced by most of the current Council — particularly Kampe, Cuneo, Fisher, Huitt and Cohen.
Oh where is Jon Stewart when we need him ?
Update: Please forgive me – I forgot we have our own local improvement on the "Daily Show" – Snick Farkas – the fabulous cartoonist and dramatist who festoons Pacific Grove City Council meetings with astute musings.
Since Frutchey's efforts might curtail Snick's appearances – you might want to tune in for Wednesday's public comments . . .

Top Marlins prospect Christian Yelich quietly reached the majors last season. Usually, prospects of Yelich's quality come with much trumpeting and fanfare, but the terrible Marlins lineup had owners ignoring him as just another unknown name. Yelich didn't play enough to be included in our outfielder rankings, but his rate stats were loosely comparable to $10 Norichika Aoki. 2014 will be the lefty hitter's age 22 season, so expect some growing pains to accompany the high upside.
Over 273 plate appearances, Yelich enjoyed modest success. He posted a .341 wOBA by hitting .288/.370/.396. He settled in as the third hitter in the Marlins lineup. Usually that would be a great spot for fantasy production, but the Marlins lineup was particularly terrible. Players like Donovan Solano, Ed Lucas, and Placido Polanco typically hit ahead of Yelich. Polanco had the best on base percentage of that trio at .315 and Lucas was the best overall with a paltry .289 wOBA. Those performances aren't going to open up many RBI opportunities.
Yelich is a potential five-category contributor in his prime (and with the proper teammates), but there are some things to worry about in his profile for 2014. As you can probably tell from his .370 OBP, Yelich is willing to take a walk. That should help Giancarlo Stanton see better pitches, which is good for the Marlins lineup as a whole. Yelich's lowest walk rate in any extended sample was 10.6 percent. In the majors, he walked in 11.4 percent of his plate appearances. We should expect that rate to decline slightly, since most players walk less frequently in the majors than the minors. Yelich can still be trusted to post a solid OBP, and that should lead to runs scored.
Yelich displayed good power in the minors, including an ISO over .230 in 2013. Upon arriving in the majors, his power plummeted to a .108 ISO. This is quite clearly the result of some wonky batted ball outcomes. Yelich posted a ground ball rate of 63 percent (that's high) and a fly ball rate of just 14 percent (that's very low). So while nearly 17 percent of Yelich's fly balls left the ballpark, he didn't hit enough fly balls for his power to be noticeable.
It's unclear what we should expect of Yelich's batted ball distribution, but it seems very unlikely that he'll continue battering the ball into the ground at this rate. For one, the highest ground ball rate for any qualified hitter was 60 percent. Incidentally, that belonged to Aoki. We also know that he posted respectable ISO's in the minors, which is hard to accomplish with such a ground ball heavy profile.
Yelich also managed a 23 percent line drive rate. That coupled with his ground ball rate helps to explain his lofty .380 BABIP. Nevertheless, we should expect something much closer to a league average BABIP in 2014. Shaving away about seven percent of his hits would have left him with a .267 average and .355 OBP.
A walk through his PITCHf/x data reveals some interesting things to watch, although the sample size prevents us from drawing any conclusions. Yelich appears to have had trouble with breaking balls in 2013.
As you can see, Yelich hit non-breaking balls for unbelievably high BABIP's. Unless Yelich is one of the best hitters to ever play the game, we should expect those rates to regress.
There is less certainty that his low BABIP against breaking balls will regress. If a hitter is having difficulty picking up sliders and curve balls, then we might expect weak contact and a low BABIP against those pitches. That may be especially true when facing same-handed breaking balls. About half of the breaking balls Yelich saw came from lefties (139 out of 285). That said, with such a small sample at our disposal, the careful statistician would expect him to post a league average BABIP against breaking balls next season.
Interestingly, Yelich was most patient with breaking balls. That could be interpreted as supporting or refuting the hypothesis that he has trouble seeing break balls. He was particularly aggressive against offspeed pitches.
His spray chart is also interesting.
He sprays the ball all over the field, but the location of the dots tells me that his pulled contact is mostly on the ground while he's better at lofting balls to the opposite field. This hints at a mechanical problem that isn't letting him drive inside pitches well.
Overall, it seems like Yelich isn't quite a finished product. He has the ability to post double digit totals in home runs and stolen bases in 2014, but expect growing pains to accompany them. Hitting in front of Stanton will be nice for fantasy purposes, but the Marlins will need to bring in a couple other good hitters for Yelich to realize his full potential next season. With his upside, a low cost flier is advisable, but be wary of betting too much on him.

Why is there an ad for a "Sexy Ukraine Dating Site" on MN ? Are we supposed to believe...
(99 Posts)that this is also for women to meet "Sexy Ukraine Men" ? Or is it an ill-disguised hook-up scenario ?
Please, MN, get this fucking dodgy knocking shop off your site.
Erm, Helen. I have just seen the Single Mums Net ad. Did you happen to notice that they have copied your logo? At first glance I thought it was a MN enterprise.
Yes we know and we're sorry for the confusion. It's absolutely not an MN enterprise!
Erm, Helen. I have just seen the Single Mums Net ad. Did you happen to notice that they have copied your logo? At first glance I thought it was a MN enterprise.
Oh no I missed this. I fancy the idea of hooking up with some sexy Ukrainian men (in theory anyway, in reality I would run a mile).
Singlemums.net sounds lame.
Brian Cox has a sexy black hole waiting for him in my universe any time.
A loop hole like star trek that enables two spocks to be the at once? Cool.
Ah the sexy loopy hole . Bad time MNHQ
Helen, does that mean that sexy Ukrainians slipped through a loop hole?
That sounds rather oo er missus, Val. But yes, I believe so.
Helen, does that mean that sexy Ukrainians slipped through a loop hole?
Evening all.
Right. The Sexy Ukrainians are no more, I'm assured. shame
The SingleMums.Net ad was booked with us to run till the middle of the month, so we're going to honour that booking. But we do agree that they could be confused with a Mumsnet venture, and we do apologise to anyone who thought that SingleMums.Net was anything to do with us.
SingleMums.Net is still there, that one isn't an AdChoices one.
Season's greetings to one and all !
< scatters mince pies all around >
Oh look! Anyfucker has her Christmas moniker! Now it really is Christmas <sighs happily>
see! you suspicious lot, I have been accused of having a dodgy search history for seeing this ad
err, caja...you haven't been cruising for hot ukrainian women have you ?
I've got sofas, sofas, portraits. Boring.
I've had both Ukranian dating and singlemums.net today. Someone's having an exciting Saturday morning!
thanks, HQ !
I have a screenshot of the adchoices - seems only to be on active and threads i'm on - nothing dodgy on mine, but they change regularly - how do i get it to you?
Please don't worry. We know what you're talking about now - and we're on the case.
But please do shout if you see anything dodgy come up in the Adchoices space.
I've just got a screenshot of the ad for singlemums.net. Do you want me to email it?
No, it's fine, thank you. We know which ad you mean. Thanks for flagging - we'll look into this.
I've just got a screenshot of the ad for singlemums.net. Do you want me to email it?
I have a screenshot of the adchoices - seems only to be on active and threads i'm on - nothing dodgy on mine, but they change regularly - how do i get it to you?
To take a screenshot (if anyone else has a sighting of the sexy ukranian gentlemen):
A. On any version of Windows: hit the print screen (usually labelled PrtScrn or similar) button. On a separate keyboard this usually hangs out over on the right above the delete, home, and End buttons; on a laptop they might've hidden it somewhere odd. Then open whatever graphics program you have, Paint (as included with Windows) will do if you've got nothing else, and hit CTRL-V. That will paste the image into it and you can then save it and upload it to your MN profile in the normal manner.
B. Windows Vista and Windows 7 (possibly 8 as well but I don't have a PC with that so can't be sure) come with something called the 'snipping tool'. Find it by opening the start window and typing 'snipping tool' in the search window. This will bring up a small box with a few options, you don't need to do anything to it, just drag the mouse cursor around the bit you want to take a screenshot of. Once you've done that, again, you can save your selection and upload as usual.
Does that make sense?
Am on my phone now, so sadly the Ukrainians will have to wait until another day
He recorded a song about tearing the wall down and has since been deluded convinced that Germany listened to The Hoff and decided to reunite.
Any sign of the Ukrainians, then?
I believe so. He is somewhat of a hero in such parts, isn't he ? Did he "sing" as they took the first bricks down ?
We'd have an invasion by German Hoff fans. He is massive over there. Did you know that he was instrumental in thr fall of the Berlin wall?

Their president may have described it as "blatant unfair playing", but Thierry Henry will face no disciplinary action from Fifa for his blatant handball that ushered France to the World Cup finals at Ireland's expense.
Football's governing body yesterday decided that it could not punish Henry for the incident because under their disciplinary code "handling the ball cannot be regarded as a serious infringement" and they had "no legal foundation to consider the case".
Sepp Blatter, Fifa's president, had referred the matter to the disciplinary committee in the wake of the furore over Henry's actions last November. The Barcelona striker kept the ball in play with his hand before crossing for William Gallas to score the decisive goal in the second leg of the play off in Paris.
It led the Republic to complain they had been "cheated" out of a place in this summer's finals. Ireland appealed to Fifa to order the game to be replayed and, when that was rejected, then suggested they might be included as a 33rd side in South Africa. Henry later apologised, via Twitter, after facing universal condemnation for his actions and said that a replay "would be the fairest solution" – but not until after Fifa had ruled out that option.
Blatter led Fifa's response, calling an extraordinary meeting of the executive committee ahead of the draw for the finals in South Africa in December. But despite mooting the adoption of extra referees and greater use of technology, the outcome of the meeting maintained the status quo.
Yesterday's decision means that for all the sound and fury that has emanated from the upper echelons of the world governing body, Henry, who claimed he nearly quit international football as a result of the backlash, is free to play against Uruguay when France open their World Cup campaign against Uruguay on 11 June in Cape Town's Greenpoint Stadium.

Odeon Lewes
Cliffe High Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Built for and operated by Oscar Deutsch and his Odeon Theatres Ltd. chain. The Odeon Lewes was located on the fringe of the shopping centre of Lewes and was the second Odeon to be designed by architect Andrew Mather.
It opened on 2nd June 1934 with Cicely Courtneidge in "Aunt Sally". There was a 3-storey high facade, which had a central advertisement board, above which was the Odeon name sign. It was actually a false front as the foyer behind, was only 2-storeys in height. Inside the auditorium, seating was provided on a semi-stadium plan with a seperate raised circle section at the rear which did not overhang the stalls seating. there were 518 seats in the stalls and 468 in the circle. The Odeon was equipped with a cafe/restaurant and a free car park.
The Odeon was closed on 2nd October 1971 with Shirley MacLaine in "Two Mules For Sister Sarah". It was sold to a propery developer on 20th April 1972 and remained closed and unused until 1982 when it was demolished and shops and housing was built on the site.

Just smile it won't crack your face
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is
suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
"The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it..."
Has anyone contacted that woman. She has had it for a long time.
I have no enemies, but I'm intensely disliked by my friends.
Well, Ekidokai should have been on it......but, with all due respect - Do we have a tread for TB discussion and coins? Any chance to get this thread of kayakingloon's back on thread.
Has anyone been in touch with the campground - space still available for that weekend?
Di and I and the beer drinking dogs are in 15, right next to the beach. Going up Thursday.
Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.
Woot - need to call - and the beach is near the playground for kids......I am hoping to get something from Wednesday on ..........thanks Dan.
Eustis - resume the discussion about the Useless...........some nice new caches going out. Also the potential for some FTFs if folks don't go up this month.
Some of the out A stata's should come up and they would have a run up here too. A tad different than the SMR but a nice run regardless..........
Everyone has the right to be an idiot at times. Just don't abuse the privilege.
;-) oh yeah, KL has put out some great ones for sure. This is an event which hits my extended family right during hunting season which is great..........and folks - do remember - there is Native land up there when hunting is open during this event. Or that was the case last year.
Regardless - a great bunch of caches to find - and what better time and space then being over there for an event............love it!

All About BTC, LTC, ETH mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Recently HodlCoin (HODL) has implemented a hardfork that changed the way mining works for the coin essentially driving away miners in favor of the people that already hold the coin. The change required mined coins to be help for 1 year before being released to users for use, so the existing pools kind of gave up on continuing as they usually operate on a mining fee and miners fled from the coin. The only way that was left to mine was using the in-wallet built-in miner that is slower than the already existing miners that could be used only for pool mining. The only advantage that was left was that the mined coins from 50 per block when mined would gain interest and would be much more when they were released to the user. Regardless this kind of made us loose interest in HODL for the moment as here we like coins that can be mined…
Recently there has been new somewhat positive development that may bring some miner back to mining HODL or at least trying to as the 1 year waiting time for the coins to be released is still there. Anyway, there is a new further optimized HODLminer forked by optiminer from Wolf's code that does provide significant performance improvement (source). Below you can find a 64-bit Windows binary of the miner that you can use to mine HODL on your CPU, do note however that you still need to have a more recent AMD or Intel processor with AES-NI support in order to use the miner. You should also be able to use the slower non-AES-NI capable miner that you can find here for older CPUs without the required instruction support. Do note that you should be able to use this miner for other coins that rely on the HODL algorithm as there are apparently some already available such as ERC.
Performance for Intel Core i5820K CPU:
– Old Wolf HOLD miner: 250 H/s
– Optimized Optiminer fork: 560 H/s
The new miner however would be useless without a dedicated mining pool (it does not work with solo mining using the HODL wallet), so the same author also launched Optiminer HOdlcoin Mining Pool where you can point the miner to mine HODL for you. It is a PPLNS pool with 1.0% fee and requires 25 confirmations until a pending block counts as mined. Do note that all HODL coins are still locked for one year after mining as there is currently no way to withdraw the balance for miners. Instead, once the balance reaches at least 50 HODL, it gets eligible for including in a mining block. The next block will always be mined to the address of the miner which has the highest eligible balance at which point you would still have to wait for 1 year to actually be able to use these mined coins.
– To download and try the new optimized HODLminer and the new mining pool…
We have compiled a new range of windows binaries of the hodlminer fork optimized by Wolf0 (source) with support for Intel AES New Instruction set (AES-NI). This is the faster CPU miner for mining HOdlcoin (HODL) than the standard release for processors without AES-NI support. Do note that the binaries below are available only for 64-bit Windows and will work only on compatible AMD or Intel processors with AES instruction support, for other processors you should stick with the standard hodlminer that is slower, but should work on much wider range of CPUs.
If you are not sure if your CPU does have support for AES-NI and what it the architecture it is based on you can easily check with the help of the free tool CPU-Z. Intel's CPUs with AES-NI support start from the first models based on the Westmere microarchitecture that was introduced in early 2010 while AMD's processors that do come with AES support start with the AMD Bulldozer Family 15h introduced in late 2011. This means that if you have a CPU later than that it will most likely have support AES-NI, though there is a catch, not all lower-end CPUs come with Advanced Encryption Standard Instruction Set supported. Intel has a list of all CPU's that have support for AES-NI available here, so you can also use that to see if your CPU is in the list.
In the archive below with the different binaries there are number of executable files that have the type of michroarchitecture they are compiled for, so you just need to rename them to hodlminer.exe and try to run them depending on the type of CPU you have. The binaries with bdver1, bdver2 and bdver3 are for AMD CPUs with Bulldozer or later michroarchitecture while the others are for Intel starting with Westmere, then Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge and then Haswell and Broadwell. The Silvermont michroarchitecture is for specific set of low-power Atom, Celeron and Pentium branded processors used in systems on a chip (SoCs) made by Intel that aslo have support for AES-NI. If these binaries do no work on your processor, the standard hodlminer release should still be able to provide you with the ability to mine HOdlcoin (HODL).
– To download and try the optimized hodlminer-wolf AES-Ni CPU miner for Windows…
There are not that many CPU-only mineable coins out there and our current preferred choice for dedicating some spare CPU mining power is for HOdlcoin (HODL). The coin started with solo mining only from the wallet, but has since introduced pools and separate miners, so now it it easier to get started and there is development going on on new features. The interesting part about HODL is that you get interest rate on coins that are inside your wallet and there is also an option for making deposits for even higher returns, but unlike with PoS you do not actually need to keep the wallet running to get your bonus interest. The regular interest accumulates for each block with the coins available to be spent at any moment while the deposits lock your coins for a chosen period of time, but offer significantly higher interest when compared to the regular rate of about 5% APR. So we do recommend that you check out HOdlcoin…

"In 2008, the Obama campaign released a copy of the certificate"
Come on CNN. Certainly you guys know that the controversy is over the long form birth certificate not the "Certification of Live Birth" that was released. A fair and balanced report would mention that difference, don't you think?
I wonder what laws on slander have to say about this. Mr. Trump makes claim A but refuses to provide any evidence of that claim.
In the UK, this would be a slam dunk for whoever decided to sue Mr. Trump.
It is only fair to ALSO ask Trump for his birth certificate and citizenship paperworks. Just because Trump looks white doesnt mean he's legally an American.
Hawaii Dept of Health official vs unnamed source. Gotta believe the state of Hawaii over the non-state of the Trump, who is famous for making news out of nothing.
While we're at it, let's prove that John McCain was born in the United States. He wasn't, you know, yet he ran against Obama.
Im keep praying for trump that he will be more power for presdient 2012
I assume Obama will handle this like Clinton did, Democrats are a bird of a feather. how many did Clinton take out?
I think it's funny that people that you "own" your birth certificate or "certificate of live birth" as it's commonly called. You are only entitled to order a "copy" of your certificate from the State agency that handles those requests. If a State, as Hawaii has done, goes to an abstract then you are only entitled to that. Many States are going to an abstract certificate in which more and more people will only see that if they order and ever see a certified copy of the original.
I was kind of neutral on the issue of Donald Trump until he started this nonsense. Does he really have the arrogance to think he can BUY better information than the entire GOP political machine? And here's the clincher: This matter should have been resolved - and presumably was - when Obama filed for candidacy back in 2007. Everything since then is just opportunistic grandstanding, if not outright bigotry. Even if a fraud could be proven, there is little reason to think Obama could be removed from office by due process before his SECOND term ends. Then again, I think birthers would be happy to simply keep the issue alive, as an important part of the biggest, most embarrassing smear campaign ever undertaken.
If Trump has ONE qualification to be president, it is that he has personal experience with bankruptcy, which may be of use if the deficit cannot be tamed.
I can't understand why Hawaii can't make a detailed copy for every tax payer in the country. That simple excercise would resolve the question for about half the people in the country. I'd really like to see a certified copy of The Donald's Check Book. I bet it's smaller than his – we'll just say, ego.
Donald Trump's credibility for running this country is missing.
"I'd love for him to produce his birth certificate so that you can fight one-on-one," Trump said in an interview set to air Monday. "If you look at what he's doing to fuel prices, you can do a great fight one-on-one, you don't need this issue."
Yet trump continues to press the first issue as fantasy because he knows the second won't hold up.
What the hell is wrong with people? This guy, who favored Hillary Clinton for President, now blames Obama for everything? What about when gas prices went higher than they had ever berfore during Bush's term? That didn't matter? It's Obama's fault.
For a guy who seemed to favor a progressive agenda, in spite of his his wealth as well as his failure as a legitamate business man, has now taken a page out of the GOP handbook: think up a lie, tell the lie, repeat as many times as needed until half the population believes it.
I wish the democrats didn't have as much decency and morals so they could try the same thing.
Why wont Obama just go and get the damn birth certificate and show it to quiet all
The article is incorrect. It states that Obama's released a copy of his birth certificate, and that is false. What Obama produced was a certificate of live birth, which is NOT a birth certificate. In some states, a certificate of live birth is not an adequate substitute for a real birth certificate. As for me, I'm from Missouri, the Show-Me state. Show me the real birth certificate, and I'm good. I'm not buying that someone else claims to have seen it. There IS something fishy here. Obama is the President of the United States. He is one of the most powerful and influential people in the world. If his birth certificate exists, as he says it does, he certainly could get a copy of the real deal. However, he does not. Why? And is there any truth to what Trump says that Obama has spent nearly $2 million avoiding showing his birth certificate? If that's true, I would again say there is something very fishy. Maybe his birth certificate says his religion is Muslim or something. Who knows? All I know is that Obama could put it to rest, but chooses not to. Perhaps he is sucking in his opponents, and later will bury them with the birther issues, showing a copy of his birth certificate at a time of his choosing, and making the 'birthers' look like fools. We'll see...
even IF there is no birth certificate, it doesn't mean Obama was not born a citizen. There is no evidence that Obama was born in another country or claimed citizenship of another country at any time. Even IF he was born in another country he would still be born an American citizen since his mother was an American citizen, all his mother would have to do would be to claim him as an American citizen.
If a challenge actually went to a court of law in order to prove Obama was not born a citizen of the United States, it would have to be proven that Obama was born in a foreign country AND that his mother and father claimed he was a citizen of that country, two things there is zero evidence for.
A birth certificate does not make you an American citizen, your parentage and/or where you were born does, one of those things by itself can make you an American citizen by birth.
Since Obama's mother was an American citizen (something that NO ONE disputes) and there is no evidence she or his father claimed he was a citizen of a different country (why on Earth would they) it is clear that Obama was born an American citizen.
Trump is bordering on treason at this point. Why are we tolerating this? Its the President of the United States for christ sake.
Donald Trump is living proof that being rich doesn't make you smart.
Please show me Mr. Trump's birth certificate, his high school, college, and law school grades, his LSAT score, his last three tax returns, his multiple bankruptcy filings, and how much money he has taken from taxpayers. Until he stops talking and bare his life to the public, he needs to just shut up. Exactly what Ivy League college did he attend.
My "birth certificate" doesn't even show the name of the hospital. The document sent to me is certified by the city of New York, with raised seals. (to show it was certified by NY City Dept of Health), and with the signature of the City Registrar. . That is all anybody gets. Did any other candidate have to turn over an "original" birth certificate? I think not!
Are you serious? How desperate can Trump get? Like seriously? His birth certificate has been shown, his identity proven and the only person's credibility in question here is Trump's own. Give it a rest Donald Duck
i believe Obama really has something to hide. He is the PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A. I think he has an obligation to show his birth certificate. Why would he try so hard to conceil it??? I wonder??? probably because he has something to hide...
Trump is bluffing!! baloney that it is "missing". How can he prove it is "missing"? did the Hawaii Dept of Health tell his "investigators" so? BALONEY!!! I had to order my own birth certificate from New York State and they send you a "Certification of Birth, not an original document, no delivery doctor name or signature. It was accepted by Social Security when I applied for it. NO ONE gets their "original" birth certificate.....it is kept on file in any state's Dept of Health. How could it be otherwise? The "original" document does not even go to the birth parents at time of birth. Is Trump actually claiming it is not in the Dept of Health of Hawaii?
Now he is threatening the president and trying to blackmail him by saying they can "talk about the real issues', if he can not produce the certificate. Unbelievable!! The hutzpah of this man is beyond belief.
The latest in a string of publicity stunts to promote the TV show. I used to respect Trump as a business man, but I'm starting to see him for what he really is, a cheap pimp for his own wares.
I wonder if Donald Trump realizes that most people consider him to be a narcissistic baboon. He loves to pretend that he is important, and that he is seriously thinking about running for president. A friend of mine is an 'insider' at Trump's organization, and tells me that Trump not only is not rich, but is possibly once again facing bankruptcy. Whether that is true of not I don't know, but he's been there and done that, so it is definitely a real possibility. He will do anything he can to keep his name in the news, which only insecure people do. Hopefully my fellow Americans realize all of this, and ignore his diatribes.
LOSER! LOSER! LOSER! Just what the Republicans need, another fringee distracting them from the incredibly important work they have to do. I'm not sure it's good for the Dems – they need to focus on the same things the Republicans do, and this Trump nonsense will just appeal to their political sense of blood in the water, distracting them.
I feel like this constant bid for the president's birth certificate is just another trickier way of being racist. Would this be happening if the president was white?
It's ridiculous. He's an American citizen. Was born an American citizen. Get over it.
Trump knows that Obama does'nt have one, that Obama was'nt born here. He's setting him up for a trap. Hawaii will claim that they have it on file and Trump would counter by saying release it. With the birther bills being proposed around the country and soon to become law, I'm afraid this issue will probably wind up in the supreme court and would force Obama to produce one. I really hope he has one.
Wow, this is what the Republican party has become?
The rest of the world must be laughing at our stupidity.
Trump, like so many hoax emails and conspiracy blogs, uses this issue as a form of coded racism, to awaken the worst in our country to a common cause. Its the worst kind of fact-less manufacturerd controversy. CNN should see that birther stories and the latest Trump gimmicks are not news, and should refrain from giving him a soapbox to tout his latest agenda.
Could someone please very bluntly address the real issue if the "birther" movement? Specifically, think about it. Even if Obama was born in Africa, he would have been an American citizen as his mom was a citizen and lived in the US for a total period of at least five years, and at least two of those five years were after her fourteenth birthday. This is the case of my cousin, born around the same time in Africa, but a full US citizen. So the only issue centers around whether he can be President or not, right? The birthers are trying to tell us that a white woman having a black child in 1961 actually was worried about whether her black baby had a chance to become President and conspired with the State of Hawaii and the newspapers to hide the fact that he wasn't born in Hawaii? In 1961? In the middle of the Race Riots? Realistically, she likely worried about whether her baby would survive and be given opportunities. Think about it.
Trump's claims are getting crazier by the day. Notice that he never provides 'any' factual evidence to support his claims. Kinda reminds me of Joseph McCarthy saying this person and that person is a Communist, but never provides any evidence to support it. Oh well, history's take on McCarthy isn't that kind, and I doubt it'll be nice to Trump either. The whole 'birther' issue is making a mockery out of someone that has had a certain amount of success over his lifetime.
I'd like to see Trump come right out and say that Obama is a liar, and then see someone in the Obama family sue him for defamation. This birther craziness has gone on long enough. It's really just a term that bigots and racists are hiding behind.
Why doesn't he just produce the darn thing & get this settled once & for all? Not doing so just makes things look worse for him. I used to think it was just a case of political, mud-slinging, BS but the longer this goes on the more I start to question the "why" in "why doesn't he just produce it & settle this once & for all?".
I want Donald Trump t publicly display his unaltered birth certificate to the public. If he does not do this, then he needs to shut his face. What a hypocrite. Oh, don't worry about your information being stolen either Don, no one in this country would ever do that....
He gets to make this stuff up as he goes along
Never answering any questions that really do matter
And he continues to garner press attention
So looking forward to the next bombshell
Innuendo and rumors aren't useful. If the state certifies he was born there as you said, nuff said! The zinger "If you look at what he's doing to fuel prices, you can do a great fight one-on-one, you don't need this issue." is absurd. What does Obama have to do with fuel prices? I'm not crazy for the guy, but let's be reasonable. Next he'll blame Obama for Japan's quake & tsunami or the air traffic controllers' narcolepsy. We're stuck with Obama for nearly two years unless the right wing holds control of the GOP; then it's four years longer.
This is such a sleazy claim by Trump...he has no evidence that the certificate is 'missing' and will not name the source of his claim. Hawaii officials provided a copy of the certificate and followed their rules for certification. By making lies and outrageous statements Trump feeds our desire for constant entertainment. Too bad he doesn't stick to TV.
It is sad to see the US media give this loser time to spread his nonsense. As far as i am concerned, President Obama is a president of United state who is born and raised in this country and he deserve respect.
O please, why leave everyone in suspense... because it keeps the interest, almost like a tv show before saying...
"You're fired!"
Surely the Vetting community would have caught any discrepancies... regarding President Obama's birth...
and surely John Mccain would have used that as fuel for his smear campaign...
since he was born in Panama, hmm.
Trump's 5 bankruptcies definitely must mean he balance a budget and run a country...
Why do journalists continue to interview him? Anderson Cooper should be a journalist with better morals who would not stoop to this entertainment journalism to make ratings. Trump is a broke liar that only cares that his name is in the news. Treat him like you should treat Sarah Palin, ignore them and they will slowly wither away and we will forget they exist and we can go on with our lives and worry about things that are truly important to this country.
By raising this issue, Donald Trump loses all credibility. Who can take a person seriously when he brings this issue up? He portrays himself to be a savvy business person and yet sides with the extreme right who think a person who was not born in the US could get past all the security agencies/filters and get elected President? Seriously Donald? If you want to be taken seriously, then act accordingly. You are only hurting your own reputation, but then, if this is just a PR stunt, I bet you don't care.
You've got to be kidding??? I don't mind Trump playing to the cameras, his big ego has been doing this for decades, but this is outrageous. He can't say where he acquired this information but he cares so much about credibility he won't disclose the source? He blames the president for rising gas prices? It's people like Trump that are the cause of increasing gas prices; speculators and the wealthy that make fortunes preying on the little people. I don't mind people making money but there must be some fairness in the system. And maybe even a little truth. Trump you're pathetic.......
Some salesmen never give up.
Alright. Go get him Trump!!!
The birthers should at least consider that Obama's not fooling them, that they're the ones being fooled. This is a non issue.
wow.. this guy is looking more and more ridiculous every day... listen .. common sense would tell you that if there was something to this whole birther issue it woulda been unearthed by now.. are you telling me that with all the millions that campaign funds that hillary and mccain had that no one investigated this??? further its up to the congress to decide if he is qualified to be president, not just a piece of paper from some county courthouse
This is why we can't get agreement on even non-partisan issues: because one side specifically has mastered the art of somehow being able to be both credulous and incredulous at the very same time. That is to say they believe easily-dismissible absurdities with no evidence whatsoever while denying truths with incredible or overwhelming evidence.
I might have been tempted to vote for Trump, except for the following statements he has made:
1) He said WE (aka the YS) should take over the MIddle East oil in Syria for OUR use
2) He keeps harping on the Obama birth certificate.
He has somewhere between 800 million -> 4 Billion USD. If he REALLY thinks the certificate is bogus or missing, then put your money where your mouth is...fork out a few 10s of millions and you will be able to find witnesses and evidence one way or the other. If he is right, then proving that there has been a deception would put him on the same "patriotic" level as Paul Revere and George Washington. If he is wrong, then it would settle the issue. If he KNOWS he is wrong (and it is all for publicity), he will not put up a dime.
I find it unbelieveable the people of this country can't have the love and respect for our president. HELLO he has a birth certificate.... it was proven once would they question the birth certificate of Hillary Clinton if she were the president..... I bet they would...... this country is stuck in a big rut, vote for a man who had money and not much brains when it even comes to normal conversations. Trump I sure hope you give up the race before it begins.
And people actually wonder why the US has become a laughing stock around the world.
Hi, Does Donald Trump really believe that the birth certificate is missing? Is that not a document that would have been verified before Obama got to be president. I think Donald Trump is losing his mind. Give the president time it takes more that 1 term to fix what was broken. May some americans are still racist. When will they learn.

National Register Properties in South Carolina Singleton's Graveyard, Sumter County (off S.C. Hwy. 261, Wedgefield vicinity) |
Singleton's Graveyard was the family cemetery of one of the most prominent families in the Sumter area during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Many of the 43 known graves are of Matthew Singleton's descendants, dating from 1796 to 1944. The Singleton family amasses fortunes in land and built large neighboring plantations. As these plantations were self-contained entities, a family graveyard was established at Melrose. This plantation has long disappeared. Singleton's Graveyard remains not only as they physical evidence of a prosperous and influential family in the Sumter area, but as evidence of a cultural pattern practiced on plantations throughout the South. Statesman George McDuffie (1790-1851) is also buried in the graveyard. Listed in the National Register May 13, 1976.

What Is Happiness?
Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord.
- Psalm 144:15
A distraught, miserable man was looking for help and sought the counsel of a liberal minister. Looking at the unhappy condition of the man, the minister said, "Just forget about those things. Why don't you go see that famous comedian who's appearing at a local comedy club? I hear that he's keeping everyone in stitches. Go listen to him, and you'll forget how miserable you feel."
After a moment of silence, the man said, "I am that comedian."
What is happiness? I think the world's version of it is quite different than the Bible's version. The happiness of this world depends on circumstances. If you are in good health, the bills are paid, and things are going well, then according to the world's philosophy, you are happy. But if someone cuts you off on the freeway, or if something else goes wrong, then suddenly you are unhappy. Your happiness hinges on what is happening at a given moment.
The Bible gives us a completely different view of this thing called happiness. According to Scripture, true happiness is never something that should be sought directly; it always results from seeking something else. When we are trying to be happy, when we are trying to be fulfilled, we rarely are. But when we forget about those things and get back to the very purpose for which God put us on earth, suddenly we find the wonderful byproduct of happiness popping up in our lives.
When we seek holiness, we will find happiness. When we seek righteousness, we will become happy people because our will is aligned with the will of God as we walk in harmony with Him. The rest of life will then find the proper balance.

Susan Boyle is to be given an honorary doctorate for her contribution to the creative industries.
She will be honoured by Edinburgh's Queen Margaret University where she studied for a certificate in caring.
Susan Boyle is to be honoured by her former university
The degree is for work in society at large, which the university says reflects its commitment to the communities it serves.
Brought up in Blackburn, West Lothian, where the singer still lives today, Boyle achieved international fame with her television debut in 2009 when she sang I Dreamed A Dream - from the musical Les Miserables - on ITV's Britain's Got Talent. One YouTube clip of the performance has 21.5m hits.
Her first album in 2009, I Dreamed A Dream, was at the time the fastest-selling debut album ever. With the release of two further albums, Boyle has since sold around 18m albums worldwide and has 120 platinum and gold albums across 38 countries.
She has sung on TV in the UK, the US, Australia, Ireland and Japan, and performed for Pope Benedict XVI and the Queen. She sang live to half a billion people on the TV show China's Got Talent.
Also honoured in the university ceremony on 6 July will be psychologist Professor Colwyn Trevarthen, accountant Professor Ian Percy CBE and hotelier Norman Springford.

"With other accreditors, we never felt like they were 100% there for us; some of them had their own agendas. With ACHC, we really felt that their services added value to our organization and we felt that their approach was both educational and supportive. We felt that it really did make a difference for us. I have recommended ACHC to many of my contacts because I felt that ACHC set itself apart from
standard accrediting bodies out there."
Health & Homecare of Erwin, Inc.
Erwin, TN
"I've had experiences with other accreditation bodies and this was much better and much more comfortable for companies like ours. It was done in a very friendly professional, easy-going manner. ACHC sends people who are ready to help us and willing to listen to us. The goal is to make us better and that's what we walked away with. We recommend ACHC to many others."
Resilience Home Health Corp.
Elgin, IL
"This accreditation process was very smooth and educational. Our surveyor was wonderful. She was very kind and the staff felt very comfortable with her. She had some good insights which she shared with us during the entire survey. We could not have been more pleased."
Amedisys, Inc.
Baton Rouge, LA
"Having been through numerous accreditations with various agencies, I can state without reservation, ACHC has been the most beneficial. Their surveyors have always been cordial and respectful of my staff, going out of their way to assure them ACHC was there to educate and guide us, not reprimand us. All of my expectations of a quality accrediting agency have been exceeded by ACHC, and I look forward to working with them in the future."
Marc Leonard
RCP Arcadia Healthcare
"I've been through accreditation before with other accreditors many times. And ACHC is an educational process versus an adversarial approach. I think this is what defines and separates ACHC from the others--this unique way of providing accreditation services. ACHC approaches this as a "real world" situation and that shows. ACHC is truly different from what's out there and I appreciated that."

"Oh no! What have I done? I smashed open my little boy's piggy bank, and for what? A few measly cents, not even enough to buy one beer. Wait a minute, lemme count and make sure... not even close."

W. C. Fields
"It was all grassroots, people's piggy banks and everything else."
Eido Frances Carney
"Piggy is certainly hard, but that's just part of the job. I don't even think about it. She's also hard because I have to reach down into the feminine part of myself and bring that up. It's not just the surface with her. There are a lot of neuroses in her. So I have to come from a different place with Piggy."
Frank Oz
"I had a little 6-year-old girl come up and dump her piggy bank in my boot so I was, I had tears in my eyes."
Steve Surace

Troy Miller
"When we're bored, we give each other piggy back rides."
Halley Clay
"I recall fondly, as a kid, ... when my dad would hyperextend my big toe playing the 'This Little Piggy Went to Market' game. I don't recall it hurting, and I'm pretty sure I didn't miss a football game, or a game of 'Kick the Can,' for that matter, because of it."
Jeff Fisher
"Some of these companies are like piggy banks."

Anybody have any bitme torrent invites for a poor engineering student?
I'm doing some independent research over the summer relating to an engineering problem. A lot of the eBooks I'm interested in (upper level physics, fluid mechanics) aren't available on demonoid or my universities sharing network. Does anybody happen to have an extra bitme invite for a poor engineering student?

Let me add that you should ONLY do this if it is legal in your country or planet. Or you are merely evaluating books before ordering paper copies from Amazon.

What is wrong with the (technical) library? Most universities have proper libraries, in some cases you also have electronic access to a lot of scientific journals or electronic reference works (you can legally download a copy of the article/book from the CAMPUS). If your university has access to http://www.isiwebofknowledge.com/ (you have to have an authorized IP) you can perform citation searches, such that people who referred to a publication you already have can also be found. Instead of looking back in time you are looking ahead in time.
Learn to research before you start researching yourself, it prevents you from these illegal activities and avoidable questions of your supervisors (questions like: why didn't you use this theory of X found in publication Y). |

What killed the UK recovery?
It is now fairly widely acknowledged that the British recovery has stalled in 2011. Whilst Britain may yet avoid a double dip recession growth looks set to be sluggish.
Given the more pessimistic outlook it is important that policy makers are clear about the reasons for this slow down, otherwise we risk a misguided policy response.
George Osborne is relatively clear that the slower growth profile of theUKeconomy, and the reasons that 2011 growth may well miss the OBR forecasts, is because of a more troubled global outlook – the debt standoff in the United Statesand the ongoing Eurocrisis in particular.
The left meanwhile are mainly focussed on the impact of austerity.
Both answers risk missing the point – what is killing the UK recovery is actually falling real wages.
Each month he Treasury publishes a compilation of independent forecasters views on the UK economy. The table below shows the median forecast from back in January (when optimistic observers expected growth of 2.0%) and the most recent forecasts from July, when the estimate had fallen to just 1.3%.
For completeness sake I have also included the OBR's own numbers.
Whilst there has been a lot of attention (rightly) paid to the falling headline number, I have seen less comment on the make up of that falling growth forecast.
The first thing to notice is that since January independent forecasters have revised up their export growth forecast and revised down their import forecast (as a result of domestic weakness meaning less imports). The end result is that the contribution of net trade to GDP growth was expected to be 0.5% in January but is now expected to be 1.3%. In other words – for all George Osborne's talk of global headwinds hitting growth independent forecasters now expect Britain's export performance to be better than they did in January. A questionable assumption maybe – but weaker external is not a fact explaining the downgrades to the growth forecast.
What has caused growth to be revised down is dramatic collapse in domestic demand forecasts from an expected 1.5% contribution to growth in January to just 0.1% now.
The chart below demonstrates this:
What has caused this collapse in domestic demand? A huge fall in private consumption forecasts from expected growth of 1.2% in January to an expected contraction of 0.3% in July.
Whilst the government has talked up exports and investment for the past year and the opposition has focused on spending cuts, the consumer outlook has become dire.
Why has consumer spending been revised down so heavily?
A substantial part of the answer can be found in falling real wages. Back in January independent forecasters expected RPI inflation to be 4.0% in 2011 and average earnings to grow 2.6%, implying real wages would fall by 1.4%. They now forecast RPI of 5.3% and average earnings growth of 2.5%. Real wages are now expected to fall by 2.8% – double the estimate of January.
Because of this consumption estimates have been radically revised down and GDP with it.
If one wants an answer to why the recovery is faltering, one would do well to start looking at real wages – an area policy makers haven't spent anywhere near enough time talking about.
17 Responses
So, remind me, when does expansionary fiscal contraction kick in?
Oh, yeah, it was, er, here a minute ago but, er, you were looking the other way, so, er, you missed it, sort of…
maybe we need some more QE..
The article reinforces Duncans's assertions that real wages have fallen, that "trickle down" is a myth and that the profits from economic growth go to the wealthy only as owners and shareholders. In other words, that our current situation (of high public and household debt, private sector awash with money and no idea as to what to do with it) is the logical conclusion of neo-liberal capitalism.
(As I recall, quantitative easing was Bank of England policy. Tories again, tsk tsk. Labour advocated VAT cuts and capital expenditure.)
I obviously forgot the sarkmark.
"Why has consumer spending been revised down so heavily?"
Why this convoluted argument about real wages? The deflator has been revised up, and hence real-terms spending has been revised down, as have real-terms earnings.
So again: the proximate cause for downgrades to both real spending and real earnings are higher than expected inflation. Not a "collapse in spending" caused by "fiscal austerity".
The 'convulted argument' is for two reasons. (i) If average earnings had kept up with inflation consumer spending would not be as hard hit. (ii) Policies designed to raise earnings are unlikely to hit growth whilst policies designed to lower inflation probabaly would.
I never claimed this was due to 'fiscal austerity'. Although ther is an effect (public sector pay freeze, VAT rise being two obvious one plus (all things being equal) austerity does lower real wages).
Well, that is saying the same thing. Have the forecasts for nominal household consumption or nominal household income changed, or not?
It not, then yes, "convoluted" is understating it: is simply not true that "real consumption has been revised down BECAUSE real incomes have changed". Both have changed BECAUSE inflation has changed.
Treasury doesn't publish the nominal forecasts of independent forecasters.
What we can say is that in the March Forecasts the OBR revised CPI and RPI up (and the GDP deflator up in 2011/12 and 2012/13) but revised nominal GDP down.
(Table 4.4)
That is misleading; they moved down the forecasts for the *level* of NGDP, which looks to be due to a loss of c£10bn from the 2010-11 FY – snowpocalypse?
In the spreadsheets for the November 2010 outlook they were expecting 4.8% NGDP growth in calendar 2011, and that is the exactly the same in the spreadsheet for March 2011. By contrast they were forecasting 4.2% NGDP growth for the same year back in the June 2010 PBR.
I don't think that is misleading when I say 'revised down nominal GDP' I mean the level. If I me and the growth rate I'll say 'revised down the growth rate of nominal GDP' – may just be me though so sorry if it's unclear.
Table 4.4 is very interesting though – look at the change in the real GDP growth forecast and the change in the GDP deflator.
E.g. 2011/12 real GDP growth revised down -0.2%, GDP deflator increased by 0.5%, 2012/13 real GDP growth revised down -0.1%, GDP deflator 0.3%.
I don't accept that the revising down of 2011 forecasts is simply a nominal/real issue entirely down to inflation.
We'll have a better idea in the Autumn when the next OBR forecast (which will be revised down) also gives us new nominal forecasts.
Guess we'll have to disagree until then.
I found this graph showing how the forecast for nominal/real/deflator has changed for 2011:
it looks pretty compelling, though I haven't checked the numbers.
[…] higher than expected inflation figures will place an even greater strain on squeezed living standards. With neither domestic nor international sources offering much hope for growth, the pressure is […]
[…] to do? Almost certainly cause a fall in effective demand. Which as Duncan Weldon points out, is exactly the problem with the economy at the moment. And of course, unless demand were to pick up, firms are unlikely to start investing that cash […]
[…] to do? Almost certainly cause a fall in effective demand. Which as Duncan Weldon points out, is exactly the problem with the economy at the moment. And of course, unless demand were to pick up, firms are unlikely to start investing […]
[…] US are turning Japanese (as does Channel 4's Faisal Islam). Duncan Weldon tries to identify what killed the UK's economic recovery, as John Redwood muses on why governments find controlling spending so difficult. Matthew Barrett […]
Unfortunately the rise in prices has not coincided with a rise in wages, so households are having to keep a tighter grip on their outgoings and income. It would appear that without wages going up (or back up) there will be no confidence from the consumer to begin spending as they did before. This, in turn, has once again slowed down the UK economic recovery.

Syria Crisis Fair Share Analysis 2016
The number of people in need as a result of the conflict in Syria continues to rise, but the international aid response has failed to keep up. The donor conference in London on February 4, 2016, is another opportunity to reverse that trend and put Syrian civilians first. Oxfam is calling for rich states to commit to fully funding this year's Syria crisis response appeal and to resettle 10 percent of all registered Syrian refugees by the end of 2016.

Solidarity with Syrians
The arrival of tens of thousands of Syrians to Europe's borders and the shocking deaths of women, children and men on their perilous journey has been a sharp reminder to the international community of the tragedy engulfing the people of Syria.

Planned Parenthood march against Obamacare repeal
"With this disaster of a bill dead and buried, I hope that we can get to work."
Dave Rice 6:30 p.m., March 24
In an election year, each candidate argues that his or her vision of America is the real one and that the other candidate's is not. But there are 300 million of us, and there are 300 million ways to be an American.
Consider three very different bands whose names stake a claim to representing our country. Formed at UCLA in 1967, the United States of America was one of the first rock bands to make electronics a big part of its sound. Formed in Seattle in 1993, the Presidents of the United States of America are an alternative rock band known for goofy songs like the hit "Lump." Formed in Brooklyn by songwriter Jesse Elliott, These United States plays a country-inflected form of indie rock.
Elliott claims to be a descendant of Johnny Appleseed, so he knows a thing or two about symbolic claims to America. Not only is the band named These United States, but its new fifth album is also named These United States.
These United States is closely associated with bands such as Deer Tick and the Mynabirds, whose music draws from folk and country traditions. And, as with those bands, Elliott's music is probably too eccentric for a more traditional audience. His songs are decorated with folky harmonies and country steel guitar, and his lyrics are full of references to the road and wide-open spaces. But his voice is creaky and he's fond of tempo changes and psychedelic instrumental passages. Onstage, these are a big part of the show. On record, they're as weird and unpredictable as any of the other bands named after our country. Almost as weird as us.
THESE UNITED STATES: Casbah, Thursday, August 30, 8:30 p.m. 619-232-4355. $10 advance/$12 door.
