Goals of the Case Study
The goals of the Inflation Case Studies are to provide teachers and students:
- access to easily understood, timely interpretations of monthly announcements of rate of change in prices in the U.S. economy;
- descriptions of major issues surrounding the data announcements;
- brief analyses of historical perspectives;
- questions and activities to use to reinforce and develop understanding of relevant concepts; and
- a list of publications and resources that may benefit classroom teachers and students interested in exploring inflation.
Information for Teachers

This lesson uses several charts and tables. You may use these files to create student reproducables or overhead transparencies for use in your classroom.
- Power Point (56 KB)
The consumer price index (CPI) during the month of April increased by .6 percent (six-tenths of one percent). The rate of increase in the consumer price index over the past twelve months has been 3.5 percent.
In April, the core consumer price index, which excludes energy and food prices, increased by .3 percent (three-tenths of one percent). The core index has increased by 2.3 percent over the last twelve months.
[Inflation during April appears to be increasing, but still inflation over the last year is still low relative to past rates.)]
A follow-up discussion question might be to ask what the relationship between the two measures has been over the last 12 months. Ask students to explain.
[CPI has increased by 3.4 percent and the core by 2.2 percent over the last 12 months. Thus, food and energy prices together must have increased by more than the prices of all other goods. Energy prices have been the cause - a very large increase of 17.1 percent over the last 12 months.]
Definitions of Inflation
Inflation is a continual increase in the overall level of prices. It is an increase in average prices that lasts at least a few months. The most widely reported measurement of inflation is the consumer price index (CPI). The CPI measures the cost of a fixed set of goods relative to the cost of those same goods in a previous month or year. Changes in the prices of those goods approximate changes in the overall level of prices paid by consumers.
The core consumer price index is the average price of the same set of goods and services, without including food and energy prices, relative to the price of the set without food and energy prices in a previous month or year.
Data Trends
In April, the consumer price index increased by .6 percent, after increasing .4 percent in March and .1 percent in February. In April, energy prices increased once again. Price indexes for transportation and apparel also rose.
The annual rate of change over the last three months was an increase of 4.1 percent and over the last 12 months, an increase of 3.5 percent. Annual inflation rates from 2002 through 2005 were 2.4, 1.9, 3.3 and 3.4 percent.
The core rate of inflation (increased by .3 percent in April) represents changes in the consumer price index without the influences of changes in the prices of food and energy, which can fluctuate widely from month to month. The increased April index compares to .1 and .3 percent increases in the core rate of inflation in each of the previous two months. Core prices increased more slowly in the last two months than the overall index due to rises in prices of energy. The annual rate of increase in prices of energy over the last three months was 16.9 percent.
Extra attention is given by forecasters to the core index as it tends to show more lasting trends in prices. This month's results provide some evidence that the increase in energy prices over the last several years has not significantly influenced rates of increases in all other prices, but may be beginning to have an upward pressure on other prices. The rapid rise in energy prices may eventually have a significant effect on all other prices in the economy.
Figure 1 shows recent inflation data reported for each month. It is obvious that the monthly inflation figures change a great deal from one month to the next. However, the trend has been an increasing one over the last several months. It is however difficult to tell what the trend over a longer period of time has been.
Figure 2 shows the changes in the core index compared to the changes in the overall CPI. Obviously the changes in prices other than energy and food have been significantly smaller than the changes in the overall index.
Figure 3 shows annual rates of inflation from the 1970s to now. Compared to the rates of inflation in the 1970s and much of the 1980s, the current rate of inflation is low. Few observers would describe the most recent rates, prior to the last few months, as high and they are not, when compared to those of the past thirty years. However, the recent rates have been increasing and that has caused some concern. See the most recent Federal Reserve case study and the exercises at the end of this case.
The Consumer Price Index
The seasonally adjusted consumer price index in April was 201. The price index was equal to 100 during the period from 1982 to 1984. The appropriate interpretation of the index is that prices in the market basket of goods and services purchased by the typical consumer increased from the 1982-1984 period to April, 2006 by 101 percent. A typical consumer good that cost one dollar in 1983 now costs $2.01.
Inflation is announced and reported in newspapers and television news as percentage changes in the CPI on a monthly basis. For example, the CPI in April was 201, compared to 199.8 in March. The increase in prices from April to March was (201 - 199.8) / 199.8 = .006. That means a monthly inflation rate of .6 percent or six-tenths of one percent.
To convert this into an approximate annual rate, you can simply multiply by 12. This provides us an annual inflation rate of (.6) (12) = 7.2 percent.
|Price Level
|Monthly Inflation Rate
How the CPI is Calculated
Assume that there are only three goods (instead of goods and services in over 200 categories in the actual calculation) included in the typical consumer's purchases and, in the base or the original year, the goods had prices of $10.00, $20.00, and $30.00. The typical consumer purchased ten of each good.
In the current year, the goods' prices are $11, $24, and $33. Consumers now purchase 12, 8, and 11 of each good.
The CPI for the current year would be the quantities purchased in the market basket in the base year (ten of each good) times their prices in the current year divided by the quantities purchased in the market basket in the base year times their prices in the base year.
Thus [(10 x $11) + (10 x $24) + (10 x $33)] / [( 10 x $10) + (10 x $20) + (10 x $30)] = $680 / $600 = 1.133. That is, prices in the current year are 1.133 times the prices in the original year. Prices have increased on average by 13.3 percent. The quantities are the base year quantities in both the numerator and the denominator.
By convention, the indexes are multiplied by 100 and reported as 113.3 instead of 1.133.
The base year index simply divides the prices in the base year (times the quantities in the base year) by the prices in base year (times the quantities in the base year). The base-year index then is 1.00; or multiplied by 100 equals 100.
How the CPI Data are Collected
The Bureau of Labor Statistics samples the purchases of households representing 87 percent of the population. The consumer price index measures prices of goods and services in a market basket of goods and services that is intended to be representative of a typical consumer's purchases. Forty-one percent of the market basket is made up of goods that consumers purchase. The other fifty-nine percent includes services.
Goods and services sampled include food, clothing, housing, gasoline, other transportation prices, medical, dental, and legal services and hundreds of other retail goods and services. Taxes associated with the purchases are included. Each item is weighted in the average according to its share of the spending of the households included in the sample. Almost 80,000 prices in 87 urban areas across the country are sampled by Bureau of Labor Statistics professionals. Visits and phone calls are made to thousands of households and thousands of retail stores and offices.

A Market Basket of Goods and Services
The Consumer Price Index measures prices of goods and services in a market basket of goods and services that is intended to be representative of a typical consumer's purchases. The relative importance of each of the categories of goods and services that included in the market basket are as follows:
|42 %
|6 %
|17 %
|Education and communication
|6 %
|Food and beverages
|15 %
|4 %
|Medical care
|6 %
|Other goods and services
|4 %
CPI Interactive Exercise
[Teachers: The correct answer is decreased. There are two primary ways to make the calculation. Prices have doubled. Income in this case has increased by one-third. Thus, real income has decreased as prices have increased by more than nominal (using current prices) income.
A second method is that one could divide the current nominal income by 2.01 to get the current income in 1983 dollars. That is the real income. The result is that the current real income is $19,900. Thus real income has decreased from $30,000 to $19,000.]
CPI Interactive Activity
[Teachers - The correct answer is not changed. Again there are two ways to arrive at the answer. Prices increased by 10 percent. GDP increased by 10 percent. Therefore, real GDP did not change.
A more exact calculation is to calculate real GDP in both cases. In the first year, real GDP equals $10 trillion / 2.00 = $5 trillion in the base year's dollars. In the second year, real GDP equals $11 trillion / 2.20 = $5 trillion. Below another measure, the GDP price index, is discussed and it is the one that is actually used in relationship to GDP. ]
Causes of Inflation
[Possible answers:
Increases in demand will cause prices to rise at the same time quantity is increasing. If demand is rising more rapidly than supply in most markets, most prices will be rising and output will be increasing.
If the cause of inflation were decreases in supply, output would be falling.
- Decreases in supply will cause prices to rise while at the same time output is falling. If the cause of inflation is an increase in demand, then output should be increasing. ]
Over short periods of time, inflation can be caused by increases in costs or increases in spending. Inflation resulting from an increase in aggregate demand or total spending is called demand-pull inflation . Increases in demand , particularly if production in the economy is near the full-employment level of real GDP, pull up prices. It is not just rising spending. If spending is increasing more rapidly than the capacity to produce, there will be upward pressure on prices.
Inflation can also be caused by increases in costs of major inputs used throughout the economy. This type of inflation is often described as cost-push inflation . Increases in costs push prices up. The most common recent examples are inflationary periods caused largely by increases in the price of oil. Or if employers and employees begin to expect inflation, costs and prices will begin to rise as a result.
Over longer periods of time, that is, over periods of many months or years, inflation is caused by growth in the supply of money that is above and beyond the growth in the demand for money.
Inflation, in the short run and when caused by changes in demand, has an inverse relationship with unemployment. If spending is rising faster than capacity to produce, unemployment is likely to be falling and demand-pull inflation increasing. If spending is rising more slowly than capacity to produce, unemployment will be rising and there will be little demand-pull inflation.
That relationship disappears when inflation is primarily caused by increases in costs. Unemployment and inflation can then rise simultaneously.
Other Measures of Inflation
The GDP price index (sometimes referred to as the implicit price deflator). The GDP price index is an index of prices of all goods and services included in the gross domestic product. The index is a measure that is broader than the consumer price index and is more appropriate to use in calculating real GDP than the CPI, which measures changes in consumer prices alone.
The producer price index. This index measures prices at the wholesale or producer level. It can act as a leading indicator of inflation facing consumers. If the prices producers are charging are increasing, it is likely that consumers will eventually be faced with higher prices for good they buy at retail stores.
A Note on Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
"Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month. For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year--such as price movements resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data also are used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation." ( )
Costs of Inflation
Understanding the costs of inflation is not an easy task. There are a variety of myths about inflation. There are debates among economists about some of the more serious problems caused by inflation.
A number of exercises in National Council on Economic Education publications, student workbooks, and textbooks should help students think about the consequences of inflation.
- High rates of inflation mean that people and business have to take steps to protect their financial assets from inflation. The resources and time used to do so could be used to produce goods and services of value. Those goods and services given up are a true cost of inflation.
- High rates of inflation discourage businesses planning and investment as inflation increases the difficulty of forecasting of prices and costs. As prices rise, people need more dollars to carry out their transactions. When more money is demanded, interest rates increase. Higher interest rates can cause investment spending to fall, as the cost of investing increases. The unpredictability associated with fluctuating interest rates makes customers less likely to sign long-term contracts as well.
- The adage "inflation hurts lenders and helps borrowers" only applies if inflation is not expected. For example, interest rates normally increase in response to anticipated inflation. As a result, the lenders receive higher interest payments, part of which is compensation for the decrease in the value of the money lent. Borrowers have to pay higher interest rates and lose any advantage they may have from repaying loans with money that is not worth as much as it was prior to the inflation.
- Inflation does reduce the purchasing power of money.
- Inflation does redistribute income. On average, individuals' incomes do increase as inflation increases. However, some peoples' wages go up faster than inflation. Other wages are slower to adjust. People on fixed incomes such as pensions or whose salaries are slow to adjust are negatively affected by unexpected inflation.
Full employment
Economists define the approximate unemployment rate, at which there are not upward or downward pressures on wages and price, as full employment rate of unemployment. If unemployment falls to level below the full employment rate, there will be upward pressure on wages and prices. If unemployment rises to a very high rate, there will downward pressure on wages and prices or wages and prices will remain steady. In the middle is a level, or more likely a range, where there is not pressure on wages and prices to rise or fall.
Economists do not know for certain what that unemployment rate is, and even if they did, it does change over time. A current consensus estimate is that the full employment rate of unemployment is currently between 4.5 and 5.0 percent of the labor force being unemployed. That is if unemployment were to fall to 4.0 percent of the labor force, there will increased upward pressure on wages and that may cause prices to begin to increase. If unemployment were 6 percent, workers competing for jobs may cause wages to fall. Costs of producing fall and prices may fall. Or at least not increase as rapidly.

If you eat Easter candy while hopping on one foot, it has no calories! ... April Fool's!
Ha! We hope you come up with some better April Fool's pranks than that one this Sunday -- but in the meantime, we have a list of the biggest weight-loss myths out there. Don't be fooled!
Jim White, registered dietician, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer and spokesman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, gave HealthySELF his top 7 weight-loss myths — and the real truth behind each of them:
1. Don't eat after 8 pm.
"There is no magic time when the carriage turns into a pumpkin — and if there was, that pumpkin can't tell time anyway!" says White. It's not about the when, he explains, it's about the what and how much. One problem is that people tend to eat too much of the wrong types of food at night (mindless munching in front of the television). Not eating enough during the day or boredom are two reasons behind the nighttime binges, says White, but if you eat the proper amount throughout the day, you will not be famished at night and take it out on the chips and ice cream.
2. You should wait until you're REALLY hungry to eat.
If you wait too long to eat, it's more than likely that you will eat too much of the wrong types of food. "The more you starve yourself, the more likely your body is to turn off the hunger mechanism altogether and begin to hold on to and store fat," says White. "Hunger is actually a good thing; it's what signals that the metabolism is working and making use of the calories you are ingesting." So don't eat if you're not hungry at all, but don't wait too long to eat, either!
3. If you don't sweat, you aren't working out hard enough.
Sweat is the body's way of cooling itself off, and every body is different, says White. Some people sweat profusely after very little activity, while others sweat very little. "Sweating doesn't correlate with fat loss, just fluid loss," he explains. "So be sure to replenish your body with liquids if you do sweat frequently."
4. Women who lift weights will get big and bulky.
"This myth has been around forever and women have yet to disavow themselves from it," says White. Genetically, he says, women are just not poised to get big and bulky; we are smaller and have less muscle tissue and testosterone. "While there is the occasional genetic exception, women will never be big like men, and never more muscular than their genetics allow," he says. So go ahead, make like Michelle O and work out those arms!
5. You can out-exercise a bad diet.
"You can't eat BBQ sandwiches and French fries and expect to elliptical through that," says White. (Darn.) Diet and exercise go together. As a matter of fact, White says, eating is a larger part of the weight-loss equation: "It's an 80-20 split with the food being the majority," he says. "If it were even possible to burn all the junky calories you ate, you would be on the treadmill all day long."
6. Carbs make you fat.
"Eating too much of anything will help you pack on the pounds," says White, adding that weight gain is caused by a simple thing: taking in more calories than you are burning. That being said, White points out that not all carbs are created equal. "Much of what passes for carbs is so processed that it lacks the fiber to keep you full for very long," he says. "Also, carbs with too much sugar will spike your glucose level and leave you hungry much sooner than carbs with less sugar and more fiber."
7. Your body has a set weight that you cannot move beyond.
"Genetics play a very important role in your physique, but just because you are naturally slim doesn't mean you can sit around and eat cheese doodles and not exercise," White says. "You still have to eat right and exercise." Conversely, even if you feel like you're "naturally" overweight or "big-boned," with the right amount of exercise and a smart diet, your healthy weight-loss goals are totally achievable!

For me, the weekend showing of Shutter Island had disaster written all over it. I missed the Friday night show due to general tardiness and one too many Double Hauls (when it comes to the local IPA, two can be one too many for motivational purposes), which probably turned out to be a good thing because based on the early sell-out of the Saturday afternoon showing, where my wife and I were denied tickets, there likely wouldn't have been a seat for me anyway.
I had brought the wife along as insurance because based on advance buzz (a different sort than the one I experienced Friday) there seemed a high probability of creepy, suspenseful, holy crap! moments—and my better half, unlike me, can watch those moments without cringing and shuttering her eyeballs behind her fingers. To compensate for my handicap, and to fulfill the obligation of the reviewer to be fully informed, I wanted her there to fill in any details my clenched fingers may have obscured.
You may be thinking about now that the reviewer also has an obligation to actually write about the movie in question, and on that count you'd be right. However, as this lengthy preamble can attest, Shutter Island is one of those movies that forces a reviewer into a precarious position—precarious enough to make it damn difficult to write about.
- Is something burning?
For if, as I did, a viewer lacks any pre-knowledge of the narrative structure and plot development of the movie's source novel, anything more than a cursory discussion of story in this review would do serious damage to that viewer's experience of the movie. Shutter Island is an exquisitely wrought head trip, and with movies in that category so few and far between, the obligation to preserve that veil of wonder for qualifying viewers would seem to supersede the obligation of the reviewer, whatever that might be, to stay on topic.
Good gravy, have I burned up enough words yet? No? All right, here's an attempt to provide a shade of context without, hopefully, revealing any significant content.
As it turns out, the wife's inability to make a later showing didn't hurt me, as Shutter Island contains surprisingly few seat-jumping moments—the sort of music-building-to-a-crescendo, hand-grasping-from-the-darkness, violence-so-sudden-and-fierce-it-freaks-you-right-the-hell-out moments employed by director Martin Scorcese to varying and successful effect in movies like Goodfellas, Cape Fear and The Departed.
What Scorcese achieves in Shutter Island is a dark and labyrinthine tale built with a narrative foundation strong enough to corral even the most skeptical viewer, yet peppered with enough subtle cracks to support the surreal twists that ultimately take this movie into rarefied air.
Leonard DiCaprio plays U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels, sent to investigate the inexplicable disappearance of a prisoner (or "patient," as Daniels is constantly corrected) from an institution for the criminally insane located on an isolated island outside of Boston Harbor. The opening scenes feature Daniels barely hanging on to his sanity as he traverses a rough sea for which he has an unexplained but immense fear, and to be honest DiCaprio's over-the-top portrayal in the early going (leaning over the boat railing he puffs madly, like an arthritic blowfish, on a cigarette poached from his new partner) had me fearing the worst.
But as the movie develops and Scorcese, working with a script adapted from the novel by Dennis Lehane, continues to build the twin walls of foundation and deception, two things happen simultaneously: The movie catches up to DiCaprio's performance, and DiCaprio's performance becomes more nuanced, as the dramatic world around his character slowly loses its shape.
DiCaprio's work here is supported by a host of fine actors—Ben Kingsley, Max von Sydow, Michelle Williams and Elias Koteas, to name a few—and each of them adds a subtle and specific shade of gray to the movie. But the real star here is the novelist Lehane, whose work has driven directors like Clint Eastwood (Mystic River) and Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Gone) into genius territory, and who can now add the venerable Scorcese to that list.
I cannot personally attest to the veracity of Lehane's written work, but it has clearly positioned the Harvard fiction teacher at the top of all contemporary film-source scribes. And the cumulative brilliance of the movies made from his books is a necessary and reassuring reminder that even in this age of CGI flash and pyrotechnic bang, story still reigns supreme.
Shutter Island is a film that burrows like a worm through your eyeballs (no finger barrier here!) and into your brain for days after you view it, in the best way possible. And if you've made it through this entire non-review, that's an experience you certainly have earned.
Shutter Island continues at the Carmike 10.

Lost! Well, Sort Of
This blog entry is in response to this Daily Post prompt: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_assignment/writing-101-series-one/
A church potluck brings up all sorts of fond memories. Conversing with other church members, the delicious smells of all the homemade foods, the laughter of the children as they run around and play. These are all common and welcome parts of any church potluck. Rarely though have I attended one where I spent a portion of the night in total, abject fear.
Several years ago we were going to such a potluck at the church we had been attending for some time. It was typically held downstairs in the basement and this night would be no different. Our youngest daughter wasn't too old at the time, I believe she was probably six or seven. In her mind she was "all grown up" though. She had come to us that day and asked if she could go off and play with her friends. She wanted to do this without Mommy and Daddy watching over her, however.
She looked up at me with her deep, soulful eyes filled with expectant hope at the idea of playing like the big kids do and of course my heart melted. "Ok, sweetheart, you can go play but you stay downstairs. Don't go running off upstairs, understand?" She nodded and away she went.
I went back to my meal and for a time I had put her out of my mind. But it wasn't long before my wife or I thought it was time to check on her. I stood up from my chair and looked around at the various kids playing in the church but I couldn't find her.
"Do you see her, hon?" I asked my wife. She looked around but couldn't see her either.
I began to get a little annoyed. I specifically told her not to leave the downstairs area and she was nowhere to be found. I headed upstairs to find my kid, muttering under my breath as I did so.
I walked around the church and couldn't find her anywhere. She wasn't in the auditorium or any of the hallways. I stood there for a moment scratching my head. "Where could she be?" I thought to myself.
The pastor's office and various meeting rooms were on the second floor of the church. This wasn't a place where she would be used to going into but it was the only place left. I headed up there, sure I was going to find her playing some game with one of the other church kids.
But, much to my increasing frustration, I was unable to find her on this floor either. I went into every room and checked all over but she wasn't anywhere. My frustration was quickly switching to fear.
I ran back down to the first floor and outside yelling for my daughter. One of the other church members asked what was wrong. "I can't find Nora!" I told him. He came inside and began to help me look around the church again.
I headed back up to the second floor and looked around once more, my heart beating frantically in my chest. I started thinking of all the horrible things that could have befallen her. She's hurt somewhere or she stepped outside and somebody lurking around the church decided to steal her away from us. My voice was trembling as I kept yelling her name, "Nora! Where are you?"
I finally went downstairs to the basement and told my wife I couldn't find her.
"What? Have you looked up near the Pastor's office? How about outside?" she asked.
"Yes, dear, I looked everywhere." I said, exasperated.
"Did you check the rooms down here?"
"Yes, Norene of COURSE, I che…" I paused. "Down here?"
"Yeah, like the nursery over there?" she pointed in the direction of the nursery, whose door was currently closed. A bit embarrassed, I turned and headed that way.
I opened up the door to the nursery and sure enough, there was my daughter, playing a game with one of her friends from church. She looked up at me and smiled, "Hi, Daddy!"
Relief washed over me in waves. I went over to her, bent down and kissed her on the head. "Hey, kiddo. Having fun?"
"You bet! And I stayed downstairs like you told me to!" she replied.
"Yes, you did, Pipsqueak. Yes, you did." I turned, leaving her to finish her game and headed back to my bride, who was waiting for me with a knowing grin.

America at Century's End
by Alan Wolfe
Publisher: University of California Press 1992
Number of pages: 596
This volume attempts to come to terms with the myriad changes facing American society as the century draws to a close. In his concluding essay, Wolfe sums up the standpoint of the contributors by arguing that America has become "decentered." No longer are standard institutional models adequate for describing what constitutes a "normal" life.

On January 18, 2012, Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) released customs notice 12-001 announcing that it will undertake the process to eliminate the manual reporting process form (B13A) for exporters and implement mandatory electronic reporting effective April 1, 2012. This policy will affect declaration of export shipments destined to non-US destinations.
Currently, exporters may declare their non-US export shipment modes using the following options:
When CBSA mandatory electronic reporting policy is implemented, only the electronic reporting modes will be accepted.
Exemptions to the new policy will include:
CBSA Notice 12-001 specifies that the implementation date is targeted for April 1, 2012; and that a transition period will be in place before complete implementation to provide exporters with sufficient time to register for either CAED or G7-EDI.
UPS recommends that exporters targeted by this new policy start transitioning to the electronic modes available, either by downloading the latest CAED software or by registering to participate in G7-EDI. For additional information on these electronic modes, please contact CBSA at 1 800 257-2434.
Exporters of eligible bulk goods or homogeneous goods who do not currently participate in the summary reporting program may also want to review their processes to find out if summary reporting could be an alternative option. Exporters can apply for this program by contacting CBSA Program Services at their regional CBSA office.
1. Exporters are required to report the exported goods to the CBSA according to the following timeframes:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on August 1, 2011, through a Federal Register Notice, that their fiscal year 2012 fee schedule will cover 100% of the FDA's cost associated with:
On January 4, 2011 the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was signed into law by President Obama to enable FDA to better protect public health by strengthening the food safety system. FSMA specifically authorizes new fees to give FDA resource necessary to implement specific activities such as the above mentioned fees.

Queens Residents React to Egypt Protests
Many Egyptian-Americans in "Little Egypt" in Astoria, Queens, said that they support those currently protesting against the Egyptian president.
The uprising is a demand for President Mohamed Morsi to step down; he has been president for a year. Egypt's military announced Monday that they would step in if Morsi didn't agree to share power with the liberal party within 48 hours.
Residents and visitors interviewed in Little Egypt said that they think Morsi should resign before the situation gets worse. Samy Elsharkawi, 60, said that Egypt didn't need the military - the people would ensure that Morsi stepped down. "We don't need even our arms to support us because the whole 80 million of Egyptians, they are out," he said. "If he doesn't leave, Morsi, he's stupid because they are going to rip him apart."
Another resident, Walid Elghaish, 42, said that he was willing to give Morsi another chance - if he was elected again. But, he said, he shouldn't be forced out like former Egyptian President Hosini Mabarak was two years ago. "I really don't want him [Morsi] out like Mubarak," he said. "I want him to make an early election. I really don't want him to leave it like this."
At least 16 people died during recent protests, including 21-year-old American Andrew Pochter, who was teaching English in the country.

WSJ editorial twisted logic to blast NY Times, defend WSJ reporting on financial surveillance
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY & ROB DIETZ
A Wall Street Journal editorial twisted logic by attacking The New York Times for publishing a June 23 article on a Treasury Department program designed to monitor terrorists' international financial transactions while simultaneously defending the Journal's own contemporaneous article on the Treasury Department program. In fact, there appears to be no relevant basis for differentiating between the two reports.
In a June 30 editorial titled "Fit and Unfit to Print," The Wall Street Journal twisted logic by attacking The New York Times for publishing a June 23 article on a Treasury Department program designed to monitor terrorists' international financial transactions while simultaneously defending the Journal's own contemporaneous article (subscription only) on the Treasury Department program. In fact, there appears to be no relevant basis for differentiating between the two reports; while the Times noted quoted experts raising legal and privacy concerns that the Journal omitted, the Times and Journal articles revealed nearly identical details about how the financial surveillance program operated -- the basis critics have cited for alleging that the Times report threatens national security. Moreover, as the Journal editorial itself noted, both newspapers were pursuing the story for "some time" before their respective articles were published, refuting the suggestion that the Journal merely pursued the story because its publication by the Times was imminent.
The Times and Journal articles revealed many of the same details of the Treasury Department program, in which the Department tapped into a huge database of international financial transactions maintained by a banking consortium known as the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT):
Times article
Journal article
Describes SWIFT as a "gatekeeper," which can track "[c]ustomers' names, bank account numbers and other identifying information can be retrieved."
Describes SWIFT as a "gatekeeper," which contains "identities of sender and recipients, the amount being transferred, the account numbers use and intermediate banks."
"Treasury officials did not seek individual court-approved warrants or subpoenas to examine specific transactions, instead relying on broad administrative subpoenas for millions of records from the cooperative, known as Swift."
Headline of the Journal article: "Since 9/11, U.S. Has Used Subpoenas to Access Records From Fund-Transfer System"
Quoted Stuart Levey, an under secretary at the Treasury Department: "We are not on a fishing expedition."
Quoted Treasury Secretary John W. Snow: "It is not a fishing expedition."
"[T]he program has played a hidden role in domestic and foreign terrorism investigations since 2001 and helped in the capture of the most wanted Qaeda figure in Southeast Asia."
"U.S. officials say the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program has been highly successful both in leading to the apprehension of terrorism suspects and in thwarting terrorist operations. People familiar with the program said, for example, that it yielded useful information on the bombings last July 7 in London."
"Underlying the government's legal analysis was the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which Mr. Bush invoked after the 9/11 attacks."
"He [Levey] said the subpoenas are based on a longstanding U.S. law dealing with economic sanctions, known as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act."
Moreover, both newspapers had apparently assigned reporters to cover the story. While the Journal editorial suggested that the Journal published its report on the financial surveillance program as a result of the Bush administration's approaching the paper with information about the program after the Times had said that the story was "going to become public anyway," the editorial also mentioned that the Journal -- and not just the Times -- was looking to publish a report on the Bush administration's use of SWIFT. Writing that the Bush administration had approached Journal reporter Glenn Simpson when it became clear that Times article was about to go to print, the editorial also noted that Simpson "has been working the terror finance beat for some time, including asking questions about the operations of Swift." Thus, it appears that the Journal had been pursuing a story on the financial surveillance program well before its June 23 report appeared.
Moreover, the Journal's defense of the paper's judgment in publishing the story is largely nonsensical. The Journal editorial claimed that its paper's report was "straighter" than the Times' because the Journal, unlike the Times, did not pursue "a violation-of-privacy angle." Since the editorial also noted that the Journal had used Bush administration "talking points" in the article, it appears that the Journal editorial believes a "straighter" report is one that uncritically publishes the administration's views while not noting the fact that outside American experts had concerns about the program (although the Journal article did report that disclosure of the program "may be controversial in Europe and within the world banking system").
From the Journal editorial:
[T]he Administration decided that, in the interest of telling a more complete and accurate story, they would declassify a series of talking points about the program. They discussed those with the Times the next day, June 22.
Around the same time, Treasury contacted Journal reporter Glenn Simpson to offer him the same declassified information. Mr. Simpson has been working the terror finance beat for some time, including asking questions about the operations of Swift, and it is a common practice in Washington for government officials to disclose a story that is going to become public anyway to more than one reporter. Our guess is that Treasury also felt Mr. Simpson would write a straighter story than the Times, which was pushing a violation-of-privacy angle; on our reading of the two June 23 stories, he did.
The Journal editorial had factual problems as well. The editorial ignored the Journal's own news reporting to assert that the Times' decision to publish its story alerted terrorists of U.S. efforts to track their international financial transactions. The editorial accused the Times of "expos[ing] a major weapon in the U.S. arsenal against terror financing," and dismissed Times executive editor Bill Keller's claim that it has already "been widely reported ... that the U.S. makes every effort to track international financing of terror," claiming: "The terror financiers might have known the U.S. could track money from the U.S., but they might not have known the U.S. could follow the money from, say, Saudi Arabia." But while the editorial attempted to separate the article in the Journal from the one in the Times, it failed to note that both articles reported that administration plans to monitor financing have long been public; as Media Matters for America has noted, the Bush administration has publicly stated many times that it would track terrorists' international financial statements. From the Journal's June 23 article:
While U.S. officials had never discussed the tracking program publicly until yesterday, they have repeatedly discussed in broad terms their efforts to engage in surveillance of cross-border financial activity around the world and have widely publicized the fruits of such surveillance in efforts to blacklist corrupt financial institutions.
Furthermore, the Journal editorial claimed that Keller's "argument that the terrorists surely knew about the Swift monitoring is his own leap of faith." But it is a "leap" Keller did not make; Keller, like the Journal story reporting the SWIFT program, said the U.S. has never hidden its intentions to track financial records, and that the terrorists "know this." But Keller did not claim that the terrorists specifically knew about the government's use of SWIFT. From his June 25 letter explaining his rationale for publishing the story:
It has been widely reported -- indeed, trumpeted by the Treasury Department -- that the U.S. makes every effort to track international financing of terror. Terror financiers know this, which is why they have already moved as much as they can to cruder methods. But they also continue to use the international banking system, because it is immeasurably more efficient than toting suitcases of cash.
Additionally, the Journal editorial defended the paper against those claiming that it should have declined to publish the article. According to the editorial:
Some argue that the Journal should have still declined to run the antiterror story. However, at no point did Treasury officials tell us not to publish the information. And while Journal editors knew the Times was about to publish the story, Treasury officials did not tell our editors they had urged the Times not to publish. What Journal editors did know is that they had senior government officials providing news they didn't mind seeing in print. If this was a "leak," it was entirely authorized.
The editorial's defense of its paper's actions -- claiming that the government never told them not to publish -- rests on the unlikely scenario that the government would, in fact, approach a newspaper with information, and then urge them not to publish it.

Day 2 of ACNP by Guest Blogger Dr. Judith Kastenberg
Note from Dinah: This looks like something Roy would draw on his iPad.
Dinah, ClinkShrink, & Roy produce Shrink Rap: a blog by Psychiatrists for Psychiatrists. A place to talk; no one has to listen. All patient vignettes are confabulated; the psychiatrists, however, are mostly real. --Topics include psychotherapy, humor, depression, bipolar, anxiety, schizophrenia, medications, ethics, psychopharmacology, forensic and correctional psychiatry, psychology, mental health, chocolate, and emotional support ducks. Don't ask. (It's not Shrink Wrap.)
This post is interesting. I learned about neurological synapses in graduate school in 1984. Has there been much progress in understanding how this process affects mental illness in the medical field since then? Where have they found the most success? Thanks
Hi Ann,
Enormous progress has been made in understanding how the brain works with associated ideas about new and different ways to ameliorate mental illness.
And active work is being done to look at drugs that mediate neurotransmitters other than serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Glutamate is just one example.
But the brain is arguably the most complex organ in our bodies. So there is always more to learn.
Now, I know that the experience I'm about to relate, may sound like I'm not "getting" this post at all. I do. What I'm doing is showing how a couple aspects of a bipolar event feel like in terms of things in my brain feeling shut down, ramped up, etc. and even if that doesn't necessarily mean that's what the brain is doing, it at least is the personal connection I can make between my behavior, feelings at the time, etc. and what it FELT like my brain was doing to me What all that means in terms of what the brain is actually doing, well it sounds like those questions are being asked and researched all over.
Anyway. A week and a half ago I was out shopping for teenage dresses for my daughter. I rapidly became quite annoyed, irritated, agitated, and then actualy ranting and raving, loudly, in several stores, about the deplorable state of modesty or availability of much decent selection at all as it relates to female teenage clothing.
During all this, I had a nagging vague sense of disconnectedness, a just not quite conscious feeling that something was off (put my finger on that when I started coming out of it), a feeling of being untethered, from something. (The specifics of these were nailed down as I came out of it, or after, since during the episode I was too "pushed" by making my views public, since the urges to be loud, outraged, and other things all out of proportion to the situation kept drowning out this vague nagging sense of something)
The episode covered two different stores, worse, louder, etc. the longer it went on. Once or twice the fact that my daughter was right there and a vague botheredness that oh, this might not be good for her to see this kind of behavior modeled as how one would act, and I mentioned once or twice to her that it wasn't the way to act, but it felt like as soon as I'd half got hold of that notion it was washed away by the urges as well as the fact it felt like it wasn't connecting to the rest of my self, the filters of good judgment usually in place were out of commission (which I didn't realize until after, of course), and so this one filter that sort of came up, never sank in because the usual behavioral filters etc. that were gone left the electrical cord, if you will, of this one nagging filter with nowhere to close the circuit.
It took me some time, and talking things out loud as we went home, and afterwards, to figure out I'd just been played like a marionette by the mania, and behaved in ways I'd NEVER have chosen.
It took, partly, realizing that others likely couldn't stand me when I was like that, and then me realizing that I couldn't stand me either nor the behavior that episode, that turned the light on for me.
So it felt like there were connections that were broken, things that were very underactive (like frustration tolerance, propriety, etc. among other things), and things that were overactive, such as my sense of indignation, my sense of importance (I just HAD to make it quite public how I was feeling, quite emphatically and loudly, etc.), and other things.
The mania was playing my brain as a marionette, and so playing ME like a marionette, and I had no choice in the matter until the marionette master started to tire of being in control.
Anyway, I'm always keenly interested in reading about stuff like this, how things can be overactive, underactive, turned off, bypassed, faulty signals or reception or both, signals getting crossed (stuff being sent to the wrong areas, maybe?) etc. because I find this kind of thing fascinating.
Much more fascinating than reading someone's story of how they went a bit unhinged at the clothing store. 8^P
Very very interesting and relevant, Sarebear. Thank you.

All looks greats, I'm impressed.
This place has become my new daily drop-in!
I can't say I have really used envato before this redesign, but the new changes have really impressed me, and provided me with much enthusiasm and motivation for designing again.
I'll be dropping in here everyday with my morning coffee for a little daily inspiration.
Well done to all of you, great job!
Hey guys, i was wondering if there is a old version of the design lying around on the web anywhere, so i can compare them?
So there is no live preview anywhere?
So there is no live preview anywhere? Thankyou.
No. When the new design was activated I asked if the envato staff made some pictures from the old version just for memories… Well, I think they have their old design somewhere… maybe you should contact a staff member and ask nicely


text: Throughout this period, Morgan also did aerial work on numerous projects and shot a variety of commercials, pilots and features, including the kickboxing drama Excessive Force, the comedy Born to be Wild, and the drama The Rage: Carrie 2. Asked what pitfalls he has dodged over the years, Morgan replies, "Being typecast as a specific kind of cinematographer is the worst thing that can happen to you. After I got out of aerial work and started lighting sets, people joked for years that there was no way I could fit my helicopter into the soundstage. To others it was more serious: how could I know anything about lighting? To them I was just an aerial cameraman. Later, after I went from features to TV work, I had to re-prove myself to some people because now I was a 'TV guy.' It hasn't always been easy." Reflecting on his winding path to the pinnacle of his profession, Morgan is wistful about the past and excited about the future. "I'm very lucky to have had the success I've enjoyed, but I feel now that I'm at a new level in how I think about my work. I hope people don't take this honor as some indication that I'm retiring, because nothing could be further from the truth."

2010 will likely be remembered as a year of the melt up recovery and as a return to all things financially sanguine, but for commodity traders and chartists who keep watchful eyes on the commodities market, 2010 could arguably be considered a year where inflation (perhaps even hyperinflation) took home the blue ribbon.
The only winners, from a consumer-centric food inflation viewpoint, is if you're a chocolate lover or heat your home with natural gas. For most everything else, you'll be paying a little extra for the basics since modus operandi #1 is to "pass on" rising commodities costs to consumers.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain
Congrats! Nice choice.
You must be in GTA or Vancouver since condos are not doing well here in Alberta.
A little further investigation indicates that this guy is all into I.C.E. (what they used to call car stereo douche-baggery in the early 2000's, when it was popular). He has posts on sound-deadening material, etc.
So, let's get this straight. The guy who owns the absolute lowest of the low end 2006 Mercedes models (in the U.S.A.), who wants to invest in car stereo equipment (probably the worst investment known to man), is criticising the guy who is living within his means and enjoying a nice, new car before he is saddled down with kids, etc.?
The Car Lounge. I love it.

Also, to the OP, great choice
I don't see the coupe even listed on the M-B website yet. Looks like you will be one of the first with it in North America.
I would (personally) have opted for a 335is or an M3 with a 6-speed, but I definitely see the draw of that beast. Plus, the C-Class looks phenominal. I drove a co-worker's C350, and even that was fairly impressive. I have a feeling that the C63 is redonk.
The C230 thread
2006/2007 Jetta threadShot in the dark, but the NW Mercedes community is lacking. Does anyone know an installer familiar with Mercedes stereo installs? This particular one doesn't have COMAND (aka their fiber optic system). Trying to help a friend find someone who can do an install. Any suggestions? I told him to get an Audi already but not an option right now.
One of the big failings of the Gen iV car is the interior noise. On the highway, it's just horribly loud and that leads to a lot of driver fatigue.
InsideLine is one great site for listing car noise. When they first tested the 2005 model, they listed it as having 65 DB interior noise. That's BMW/Mercedes territory and beyond. The few other tests I've used to measure this are higher. Does anyone have any good reference for how loud these cars are? Has anyone done any actual tests?
Either way, comes off sounding like a jealous loser.

This thread gives me a big grin, nice pick on the car.
The C63 engine sounds amazing. Congrats on the purchase, and I hope it gives you many good years.
As you say, plenty of time for a Porsche later
Great choice. This car is actually a good deal in Canada when you compare its price to a Boxster S, a GTR or an M3.
Enjoy it in good health.
Hubba hubba! LOVE the color combo.
Are these available with a manual? Just out of curiosity.
Back on topic, congrats on the AMG! Love those things.
wow, congrats. glad to see someone purchasing their dream car with their own cash and really earning it.
twitter x PSN:zerosaint x MUFC x FS: 18" 4x100 TRD Wheels
wow thanks guys. As for financial situation. I've maxed out my rrsp's this year, but in the stock market. Just did it to pay less income tax. My condo's are in Montreal, but I have a 440 unit project going up in Ontario within 18 months. Might head over there for a few months and help my brother sell them. I should be good. Anything goes wrong, my condo (where i live) is payed for, so I will manage well. It's a car afterall, it can be sold if needed.
I have a property for sale that I will make about 80% of this car's value in that transaction alone, which will then go toward buying a piece of land I have my eye on, then build 8 townhomes on that etc etc, keep it rolling. Make money fast, don't wait. And as my step dad told me once "don't work to save more money, just make more money however you can"
why do people say brand new cars are their dream cars?
dream cars to me are cars ive wanted half my life. Not something that came out six months ago.
I don't know.. I'm just sayin.

Congrats on the car, that's a fantastic purchase. Though with how big you say you are, how do you find the seat bolsters? Every C63 I've ever sat in has what I consider to be pretty tight bolsters--great for back road fun, but I question how comfortable they would be on a regular basis. I'm 6'0 and 200 lbs, so I'm not huge, but I'm also not small. Either way though, a big nasty NA V8 should be experienced at least once in every gear head's life---and you certainly chose an excellent example.
Any car costing over 25k brings out the idiots that have to know how much you make for a living before they can bless your "overspending" on a nice car. All the while, they drive VWs from the 80s that they have sunk 35k into over the last 2 years - fixing it up so its in nice condition...
gotta love TCL.
I do know a couple young men that got out of college and at the age of 25 or 26 bought cars that made them stretch on a monthly basis to find the payments... that is sad to see. But I would never tell someone they paid too much for a car.. or that the car wasn't worth it. That **** is just rude.. and I leave that to the petty haters.
I am with other people that have said "what no manual?" :-)
Nice car OP. One of the nicest Benzos on the road is now yours. Those that die having enjoyed life are the winners. Congrats to the OP.

Here's what happened on Central "Avenue" near Fell Street in the Western Addition NoPA all the way back in 2010.
And here's the same block today, below.
So, somebody painted these parking T's where there were none before and then somebody else came along three months later to blank them out with black paint and then, over the years, the black paint wore out leaving the still-visible, commercial-grade white T's.

Why would the DPW / SFMTA do this?
To see how parkers would react?
To put in meters?
I don't know.

Imagine, if you will, the world twenty years ago. Friendly families on friendly blocks went to their local shopping centres when they wanted to buy something or just to stroll a Saturday afternoon. Retailers built storied sanctuaries for shoppers to visit where they could be entertained - where they could be enchanted to buy products they loved, and experience this elusive thing called brand. Great businessmen spent lifetimes perfecting the craft of retail, and built teams around them to buy, merchandise, store and sell products through experiences that created brand love.
Then, the internet happened. The depth of expertise built on fixtures and furniture, lighting and music was out of place in a world of conversion, cookies, and A/B testing. As these businesses worked to adapt the old business to the new one, the economy twisted downward, and price pressures on consumers drove even more of them to the web. Early adopting customers wanted fast, easy, searchable experiences with inexpensive product. Or so we thought.
Today, as I browse the web, so many experiences look the same. I see tiles and tiles of anonymous product, each one with an identical product page that certainly has been designed-by-metrics to turn me from a casual shopper into a conversion. The same shopper who was once the muse for a palace is reduced to a blip on a spreadsheet.
Is this the future we want to build?
I don't think so. Smart retailers know that the future holds a ton of promise. Personally, I love the magic of a great experience and think we can have much more of it.
1. Personalise - The shop assistant is the core of a brickspace retail experience. They talk to the shopper, understand them, and share their love for the brand. Every strong brand relationship I have was started by a passionate store associate. On the web, not only can we personalise an experience, we can mix human and technological components to create experiences that are impossible in real life. Using shopping history, preferences, and other data, the retailer can be smarter than ever about showing the best products and informing customer service reps about the best ways to help the shopper. (Full disclosure: My company, Clothes Horse, is a technology that helps retailers to help shoppers select clothes that fit)
2. Rich Merchandise - In a store, our first impressions of the product are guided by the way its folded, where its sitting, design elements around it, lighting, etc. We don't get to see what our friends think until we try it on or until we wear it the next day. On the web, product can be tied to scores of shopper reviews, videos, blog posts, news articles, and my social network. I can pin, post, tweet or share it to get feedback. Using the richness and interconnectedness of the web, retailers can take command of the conversation in a way that is impossible in-store.
3. Promote - Price reductions are a dominant form of promotion in-store. How else can a retailer catch a break? In e-commerce, promotion can hit several other value pillars for the shopper. Pricing is easily cross compared, so once the price of a product is at the right level, further promotion can have diminishing returns. Instead, I can be rewarded in many other ways: I can be entertained with great content, I can be inspired to share products and can be seduced by limited time or limited inventory, and I can be charmed by influentials. While all of that is possible offline – online it can be tracked, measured, and weighed against its impact.
I imagine a world where every product I see is relevant to my tastes and delightfully presented. I want to use my personal data to empower the web around me, and in the process, be carried by the richness of the experience to relevant content that reinforce my desire to buy beautiful things. And while I certainly want a fair deal, I also want to be satisfied personally, socially, and aspirationally.
That's a magic experience – and it is only possible through e-commerce.

Bella with her first sea ducks.
I hunted in northern Washington with a couple DHC members this weekend. We saw all three types of Scoters that winter in our area. We also saw Old Squaw, and Harlequin, along with about 2 thousand Buffies. I managed to get my first Harli and first Surf Scoter in a two hour afternoon hunt.
The three of us have a couple days of layout hunts planned for the last week of season. I want to see if we can can harvest all three species of Scoter and Old Squaw, along with Barrows and Common GE' in one day.

Reyes, I heard, didn't look exceptional at Binghamton. I guess they felt obligated to promote him after signing him in mid-August. source Daily News
Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Why haven't we seen Al Reyes....
Al Reyes has the most saves of any active player on the Mets roster, just last year he saved 26 of 30 opportunities. I expected the Mets to see what Reyes could provide down the stretch, whether it was as a set-up man or closer. It's true that he posted an ERA of 4.37 which resulted in his release from the Rays but if you asked Reyes he would say that he had an elbow injury early in the season and then never got the opportunity to get in a rhythm. Reyes was signed and placed in AA where he pitched five scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out three. But while Jerry Manuel has gone through multiple relievers each night Reyes hasn't thrown a single official pitch. Adam Rubin may shed some light as to why that maybe the case.....

Dark cabin gets a DIY transformation
Design ideas from an inspiring remodel
When part-time design consultants Jon Leaver and Tyke O'Brien bought their 1,500-square-foot Topanga Canyon house in 2007, it was a dark hillside cabin. DIYing whenever possible, they spent more than a year transforming the space into a light-filled and spacious home.
"For us, every house has potential," Tyke says. "We thought like we always think: Never look at the big picture, just take the project bit by bit."
Click ahead to see what they did, mixing some old with the new along the way.
