William Tapley, the warped prophecy reader I've shown videos of before, has decided based on a commercial for the iPad that there's going to be a "false flag" event at the Super Bowl. It's a bizarre, rambling diatribe about an image he claims is a woman giving birth to the Antichrist. It's just a sunrise, actually. I think this guy is on acid.

After spending several years touring the country as a stand up comedian, Ed Brayton tired of explaining his jokes to small groups of dazed illiterates and turned to writing as the most common outlet for the voices in his head. He has appeared on the Rachel Maddow Show and the Thom Hartmann Show, and is almost certain that he is the only person ever to make fun of Chuck Norris on C-SPAN.

Actually he would be better off if he was tripping on acid. That would be something that he might recover from.

As I get older, I find that this kind of absurdity makes me less angry about the idiocy that surrounds me and more angry that I was raised to feel bad about fleecing idiots, because otherwise I would be rich.

Of course, his exposure of this dastardly plot will absolutely guarantee that it will be called off, so he'll be able to claim victory when, to nobody's surprise, nothing untoward happens.
1. Make irrational claim of unlikely, "preventable" event.
2. Nothing happens.
3. Prophet!

I am amazed at the resilience of the human specimen. Such a glaring "software malfunction" and it still manages to feed itself and procreate.

So Jamie Savage and Adam Hyneman from Mythbusters are going to drop a Star Wars nuclear bomb on the Super Bowl using a Geisha girl/Butterfly drone, to celebrate the birth of the Anti-Christ, right?
All this because this is the 4-4-4 Super Bowl and 4-4-4 is Pres Obama's magic number and we have to pray for him otherwise 11-11-11 or 2-2-2.
Naturally a super secret sophisticated plot of this magnitude, requiring critical stopwatch perfect timing, can only be communicated to the minions by code in an iPad commercial.
I plan to watch the Super Bowl this year, sorry cute puppies at the other bowl game. And I'll be waiting for Ol' Third Eagle for his Monday morning quarterbacking about how God was on the Injured/Disabled list.

Thanks a lot for posting this. I had missed my Illuminati instructions and didn't realize that they were coming by way of an iPad commercial. Now I'm all good to go.

"The warning that I've received, you may take it with however many grains of salt you wish, is that the brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically too good. It's suggested that you do stay away from that. Of course, it's your own trip, so be my guest, but please be advised that there is a warning on that one, OK"?

There have been hundreds of "false flags" in the NFL this year. But refs, linemen and judges–just like MLB umps are resistant to admitting their errors so momentum killing errors are gonna happ–, what? Billy "Tapped out" Tapley is talking about something else?

Social housing is in great demand. There are over 5000 people on the housing register in Broxtowe, Gedling and Rushcliffe, and only around 1000 properties becoming available every year. Often people can wait a long time before being allocated a social housing property.
These housing options willl give you some alternatives to social housing that may make it easier and quicker for you to move house, or to meet your needs while staying in your current home.

The past 2 months have been very eventful for me. I took many trips. I got to go on my first trip to the Mountains at Lake Tahoe. I wrode the gondola all teh way to the top of Squaw Valley and hiked around the ski slopes at 7000+Feet. There was a little bit of snow. This was my first time to ever see snow. At one point I ventured down a ski run that had a smidge of snow on it. I couldnt stop sliding and Dad had to hike down the mountain to get me!
After Tahoe I went to meet my human grandpa and great- grandma in Ashland Oregon for Thanksgiving. Ashland takes really good care of their local trails and I was able to run around off leash. I also met my human grandpas dog Sam who was really nice to me. We were all thankful that the Best Western was such a nice hotel, and was dog friendly!
For Christmas I got to go back to Tahoe! Wow, I love that place. I am mountain dog at heart. The first hike we did was on older packed snow. It didnt feel so good on my feet. I did keep warm though, as mom bought me a nice bright orange puffer vest. I am so light we were all worried I would get lost in the snow! On our 4th day in Tahoe it snowed hard. I got to go for another hike, and wow, it was so cool. I loved frolicking in the soft powder. I bounded around like a little bunny rabbit. I also saw a fire for the first time in our cabin. I was fascinated. Great Christmas all around. Happy happy dog!

"Who Do You Think You Are?" Episode 2 Recap
Posted by jamie
Spoiler Alert:
If you don't already know what happened during Tim McGraw's episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?" you are about to find out.
Country singer Tim McGraw, after looking at his birth certificate as a teenager, discovered the man he thought was his father was not his biological father. His birth certificate named baseball star Tug McGraw as his father, who he then forged a relationship with as an adult. Tug passed on without revealing much about the McGraw family tree, so Tim explored the paternal line of his ancestry on "Who Do You Think You Are?"
After gathering a few clues from his uncle, McGraw travels to Kansas City, Mo., to find out more about his great-grandparents Andrew and Ellie Mae McGraw. He views Ellie's death certificate and discovered she was a member of the Chrisman family, who settled that area of Missouri.
This led him to Virginia, researching sixth-great-grandfather Isaac Chrisman. Using surveying records and historical maps, McGraw discovers Chrisman lived on the boarder of Indian territory in colonial Virginia. Through a report made by a militiaman, McGraw discovers Chrisman was attacked by Indians and died.
Issac Chrisman's grandfather is Jost Hite, a German immigrant. He traveled to the colonies as an indentured servant with the Pressler family — ancestors of Elvis Presley. Hite quickly worked his way out of servitude and was awarded a massive land grant in Virginia. McGraw views Hite's deeds, and heads to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley to see his land.
The Hite trail then leads McGraw to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. There an archivist shows him George Washington's teenage journal, which indicates Washington lodged at the Hite family home. McGraw also reads a letter written by Washington to his ne'er-do-well neighbor, in which he praises the Hites as a prime example of how one should live his life.
While McGraw had professional researchers to help him navigate land plats and Virginia records, our Family Tree University

I have been watching WDYTYA from Day 1, and have the companion book written by masterful genealogist Megan Smolyenak Smolyenak. The Tim McGraw episode was my favorite by far, followed closely by Matthew Broderick's story last year.
Not only because both of these stories took place on American soil, but I appreciated Tim and Matt and their sincere effort without a lot of hooplah.
I also have researched for friends with slave ancestry and both of the stories last year by Emmitt Smith and Spike Lee were excellent.

The WDYTYA episodes are interesting, but they don't really show us how to trace the lines that don't leave documentary evidence behind. Like my Irish Catholic ancestors with a very common name who were living on the lower east side of New York by 1832. No diaries, no land grants, no passenger lists (that I know of), just questions without answers. There are far more lines like this than there are lines that go back to Revolutionary veterans who applied for pensions, or ancestors who are buried in cemeteries that have been surveyed and recorded.

WDYTYA is such an inspiration!!! I LOVE people's life stories and those who are our ancestors have the best as we have to "work" to find them!!! I have Dutch roots and now have found someone who is willing to read and translate the documents for me!!!

This was a really fun episode for me. I learned more about why my Palatine ancestors were inspired to leave their homeland for America and what the subsistence lists were. The most fun thing I learned though, was that my Palatine family traveled on the same ship as Tim McGraw and Elvis Pressley's ancestors did. It's a small world after all!

After the Tim McGraw episode, my husband's aunt called his mom & said that during the research a Civil War soldier, Daniel Smith from Virginia(now West Virginia)was mentioned. If this is so, I totally missed it. Can you tell me if it was mentioned, & if so, what was said about Daniel?

seems I broke the FE of V7
Hello UG:
I was using my XP based V7 system just fine until an hour ago or so.
Now all notebooks are unformatted. When I give a simple string "2+2",
then Ctrl-Enter does not evaluate it. The interface and the menus look
OK, but then I noticed that Format>>Style shows no styles, only a menu
separator and then "Other".
I can guess that no cells are input cells, so they cannot be
evaluated. But how could I have blown all my styles away.
The only "suspicious" thing that happened is that I downloaded a
Demostrations source package (about Planck's constant I think). It
evaluated and ran OK. I used help and ran some simple evals after the
Any helpful thoughts? Maybe I have to go to 7.0.1 now.

Phelps's Granddaughters Leave Westboro Church
The act of leaving Westboro is as weird as the church itself. Sometimes it's described as a shunning process, but that's not entirely apt. It is, in the eyes of the remaining members, a sort of death... Phelps granddaughter Megan didn't leave alone; her sister Grace decided to go with her. They stayed just one night in Topeka. Then, after returning to their family home to retrieve some things they'd not packed the night before—"it was so weird and horrible to ring the doorbell," Meg … [Read more...]

SLIDESHOW: Opening day at K-5 STEM at Boren signifies a new direction for Seattle elementary schools
Cell phone batteries collectively drained as parents snapped photos and shot video of their children's first day at K-5 STEM on Sept. 5, documenting not only an important milestone for West Seattle families, but for Seattle Public Schools as well.
New SPS Superintendent Jose Banda started his day off at the first elementary-level STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) program for Seattle, greeting students and parents as they arrived at the Louisa Boren building on Delridge Way S.W.
"I think it is just a great addition to our schools and to our K-5 programs and the STEM program, being able to now put it into the elementary level," Banda told the Herald in between conversations with students. "This lends itself very well to creating a college-going culture with a focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Those are some of the highest need areas when you look at job opportunities or the real need for people with those skill sets. This will be a great opportunity for children to grow up in that environment and focus on those areas and hopefully they will continue their studies and interest in these areas going through junior high, middle school, high school and on into college."
Banda said he shared K-5 STEM Principal Shannon McKinney's excitement at the prospect of building a successful elementary STEM program that, one day, could be emulated across the city. He said part of his intention as superintendent is to have STEM programs available to students from kindergarten all the way to graduation day from high school.
Carmela Dellino, recently named executive director of West Seattle schools after her most recent stint as the Roxhill Elementary principal, was also in attendance.
"I think it's just exciting to have all of these parents and families be part of opening a school community from the ground up and just feeling the excitement for all grades from all around the area," Dellino said. "I'm really excited for them, this is an exciting day for West Seattle."
Andrea Leary, an educational consultant who worked on the design team to create a curriculum for K-5 STEM over the summer, is working with K-5 STEM in a pro bono capacity to secure partnerships with Puget Sound-based companies.
"Very exciting," Leary said of the opening day. "We have been working really hard all summer and just to get to this point and see so many happy faces and know that we are ready for this first day … the energy is really positive."
SPS defines the goal of K-5 STEM as "providing an engaging and challenging science- and technology-based learning environment for elementary age students. STEM subjects are a natural fit for elementary ages students who have incredible imagination and natural curiosity about the world and how it works."
Lesley Rogers, chief communications officer for SPS, wrote in a fact sheet that students are not limited to STEM subjects, and that the school aligns with Common Core State Standards in teaching all subjects – often times through the prism of science or social studies "to make reading and writing more relevant to children."
The school is piloting a new reading instructional program, Reading Wonders, from McGraw Hill and integrates FOSS (Full Option Science System) and Engineering is Elementary (developed by the Museum of Boston) programs into the curriculum.
Students will wear uniforms, according to Rogers, with the idea "if all students are dressed in a similar manner, it will elevate STEM at Boren to a focused learning environment," where students are not identified socioeconomically based on the clothing they can afford, the focus on appearance "that girls adopt at earlier and earlier ages" is removed, where "teachers … truly see the student, not what they are wearing, and, as a public safety function, to help identify intruders on campus.
K-5 STEM at Boren is an interim site for at least the next two years, and the building was updated over the summer to include removal of asbestos-containing flooring, repainting and new carpet in the classrooms.
More on that update to the building here.
The renovations were paid for by the $270 million Buildings, Technology and Academics III levy approved by Seattle voters in February of 2009.

Although it's still under construction, Scottsdale, Ariz.'s Chaparral Water Treatment Plant has already garnered two awards: for design and for public art.
The 30-mgd facility, which began producing potable water in March, received a Grand Award in Engineering Excellence from the Arizona chapter of the American Council of Engineering Companies. Overland Park, Kan.-based Black & Veatch consulted on site selection, pilot testing, design, and construction; and worked with architects to ensure the plant would fit in with surrounding neighborhoods.
According to the city's water resources general manager, David Mansfield, the plant has exceeded the city's water quality goals and is a welcome addition to Scottsdale.
"Like a good neighbor, it's quiet, produces no pollution, and creates no traffic hazards," he says.
In addition, the plant received an Art in Public Places Award of Merit from the Valley Forward Association for landscape treatment and the weathered metal sculptures that span two exterior walls.

I have added a Video to my Homepage column 3 and would like to know if there is a way to make it larger??
Also, do you know of any themes that would use a video screen instead of the slideshow?
website : www.quarternotemusic.com
thanks for any help!
Could someone tell me the exact dimensions for the slideshow images?
I made the image 610×328 and the bottom part of the image is cut off.
Check out first slide on www.quarternotemusic.com
My website was moved from /public_html to a sub folder. Website works fine, but I can not edit pages in wordpress. Someone suggested I re-install the Vulcan theme. I have tried, but failed. When I activate another theme everything works.
What is the correct procedure for re-installing the Vulcan theme?
I am getting customer complaints about my menus. When they hover over "Lessons", then "Instructor Bios" move to the right to click on the instrument and the menu disappears. I can reproduce, but if I go to the far right of the instrument list it will work. Are there any adjustments I can make to the menu? website : www.quarternotemusic.com
All my files were deleted off the server. I am trying to recover the website. I re-installed Wordpress and the Vulcan theme. Then I copied photos from the uploads directory and all the .php files. Site does not update. I am missing something? Is there an easier way?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

2012 Summer Olympic Odds: Will Usain Bolt win both the Men's 100m and 200m Gold Medals?
One of the biggest events at the 2012 Summer Olympics is the 100m dash, to see who the fastest man in the world is. The fastest man in the world is currently Jamaica's Usain Bolt who will be competing in three events. The big question is. Will Usain Bolt (JAM) win both the Men's 100m and 200m Gold Medals? Olympic oddsmakers think Usain Bolt (-175) will NOT win gold in both the 100m and 200m sprint and YES as +175 underdog. Let's take a look at if he can. Be sure to make your Usain Bolt predictions before the firing of the starters pistol.
Usain Bolt will return to the Olympics once again and is expected to break records in three athletics events – men's 100m, men's 200m and men's 4 x 100m relay. Popularly known as the fastest runner in the world, Bolt broke new records in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Bolt was the first to win gold in three sprinting events in one Olympics since 1984 and the first to hold Olympics and World Championships titles in men's 100m and men's 200m.
Bolt first featured as an Olympian during the 2008 Olympics and he has captured the world's attention through his sensational sprinting achievements. He ran for 9.69s in men's 100m, 19.30s in men's 200m and 37.10s in 4 x 100m men's relay, becoming the first person to win gold and set world records in three sprinting events in one Olympics.
After the 2008 Olympics, Bolt broke new records during the 2009 World Championships – 9.58s in men's 100m and 19.19 in men's 200m, becoming the first person to hold both Olympic and world titles in men's 100m and men's 200m.
Bolt is not in a rush to break new records this coming Olympics, saying that "even if I lose every race leading up to the Olympics it won't even bother me". He stated that he has "one focus – to go to the Olympics and do great things". That incredible dedication coming from him indicates that he will amaze the world once more by winning gold medals the next time he competes as an Olympian, despite slowing down at 10.04s when he won in Golden Spike Ostrava last May 25, 2012.
Bolt enters the Games having lost a pair of races at Jamaica's Olympic trials to training partner Yohan Blake. At the June trials in Kingston, Blake set a personal best in the 100 with his finish in 9.75. In an international grand prix last year, he dropped a 19.26 — second-fastest ever to Bolt's world record 19.19.
Just four years after seemingly revolutionizing sprinting with his long legs and massive strides, Bolt looks a bit like old news.
After Bolt false-started at last year's world championships, Blake won his first world title. After Jamaica's trials, Bolt rested a hamstring that he tweaked during the 200, while Blake tuned up for London, easily winning a race in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 9.85 seconds.
The Bottom Line: Bolt will bolt to two medals, both gold! Want to dominate the books this season with some of the best Summer Olympic Picks experts in the business? Then sign up right now and get Summer Olympic Picks Free!

When: begins July 28 and ends August 5.
Pick: Yes +125

Current Economic Conditions
Senior Vice President and Director of Research
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
Cobb County Chamber of Commerce
Atlanta, Georgia
March 6, 2001
Good afternoon. I appreciate the opportunity to chat with you today. I was asked to talk about how the Federal Reserve System works and also to comment on current economic trends. Ill focus my prepared remarks on current trends and leave questions about how the system works to the question-and-answer session afterward.
In reviewing current economic conditions, Ill make a few observations about 2000 and, in particular, what the last quarter suggested for this year, and then Ill turn to the more immediate present.
During 2000 we saw a huge swing in economic performance. Going into 2000, the economy was growing smartly, and everyone was surprised by the fact that this extremely rapid growth not only continued but also actually accelerated during the first half of 2000. Real GDP growth exceeded that of 1999, averaging nearly 6 percent during the first half of the year. During that time, policy discussions focused on the concern that the rapid pace of economic growth could not be sustained and that an outbreak of inflation was a risk. It was in the context of accelerating growth that the Fed continued the series of rate increases begun the previous year.
However, during the latter half of the year things changed dramatically. We saw an equally surprising and fairly significant loss of momentum in the economyto about a 2 percent pacewith essentially none of the advance warning signals of a slowdown usually seen. The flow of shorter-term data in December and early January began to suggest weaknesses in several areas. Consumer confidence had weakened more than had been expectedas had manufacturing production and retail sales. Moreover, there were indications that credit conditions were tightening more than was needed in some segments of the financial markets.
All of this was occurring at a time when inflation pressures seemed to be abating. Together, these developments suggested to the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) that real interest rates were higher than necessary, and that some adjustment was called for if the expansion were to be continued.
The Committees prompt response shows its flexible and eclectic approach to policy, as was seen in 199495 and again in 1998 during the Asian crisis. The FOMC has been willing to make decisive policy changes to keep the expansion on track.
Let me make a few observations about expansions in general. First, real growth over these past 10 years has been anything but regular or smooth. In this respect, the pattern of growth we observed in 2000 was not all that atypical from what we had seen earlier. Weve had seven other quarters since the expansion began in 1991 of growth below the 2.2 percent now recorded for the third quarter of 2000 and three periods with growth below the fourth quarters revised 1.1 percent. One of these quarters even recorded negative growth. In 21 of these quarters, growth was below the 3.5 percent average for the expansion.
Second, of the eight expansions we have had since World War II, none have ended due to natural causes. They have ended either as the result of a drying up of government war spending, from external shocks or from policy mistakes. The FOMC wants to avoid making policy errorswhile at the same time trying to work its way through the consequences of external shocks.
Third, it is clear that we have certainly had our share of shocks to contend with during this expansion. In 199697, for example, we had the Asian crisis. Ironically, the Asian crisis proved to have many numerous positive effects on the U.S. economy, which I will have to admit we didnt fully appreciate at the time. For example, the worldwide declines in commodity and energy prices put downward pressure on measured inflation. The crisis also resulted in a flight to quality, bringing with it a large inflow of capital, lowering the cost of capital, and enabling us to finance a growing trade deficit with an appreciating dollar. These developments helped keep our economy growing with low inflation.
We also clearly had our share of real and potential shocks during 2000 to contend with from a policy perspective. First there was the Y2K threat in January, which we feared might trigger a communications and financial meltdown, and which was behind the buildup of liquidity observed in financial markets at the turn of the year. Fortunately, this turned out to be one of the greatest non-events in history, largely, I believe, because businesses and people heard the message and fixed potential problems so that they didnt occur.
Also in January many fledgling dot-com companies attained billion-dollar market caps, but by May the party was over as investors realized that its hard to justify using invested capital to cover operating expenses forever. At some point earnings must appear. Significant retrenchment is now in progress in the technology sector.
We also had a roller coaster year as far as energy prices were concerned. The price of oil went from around $24 a barrel in January to more than $36 in September. The price then retreated to the mid-$20s again by the end of the year and has now jumped back up to the $30 range as OPEC has successfully designed strategies to keep revenues up. The run-up in energy prices has plainly diverted spending from other goods and services, is affecting production costs, and is clearly influencing the path of consumer confidence and spending on other durables and nondurables, at least on the margin.
The November election turned out to be a major source of financial uncertainty and contributed to the December decline in the stock market, although the run of reduced earnings reports clearly also was a dominant factor in the markets pullback.
By the fourth quarter, it had become more and more apparent that we might be entering a classic inventory-adjustment period. Business inventories accelerated in October and November of last year and inventory sales ratios bumped up, indicating that inventories would detract from growth in the fourth quarter, which they did. It was clear that consumers had been outspending their incomes for some time, and consumer spending dropped as consumer sentiment took a hit in the fourth quarter.
Finally, corporate investmentwhich had been a major driver in the economyactually became negative as firms struggled to cut costs in order to meet earnings forecasts.
All of these developments contributed to the malaise and, coupled with the evidence of two quarters of slower growth, have raised concerns about whether the expansion is in jeopardy.
The flow of recent data, however, gives us hope that the adjustments we are experiencing will be temporary, and we expect the data will give rise to a classic v-shaped pickup as the economy goes forward. The downward revisions in estimated real GDP growth in the fourth quarter actually suggest a less pessimistic outlook for current quarter real GDP.
Specifically, the December business inventories data, and inventory-to-sales ratios in particular, imply that more of an inventory adjustment took place in the fourth quarter than assumed by the Bureau of Economic Analysis when it put forward its first estimate of GDP. Business inventories posted their smallest gains in nearly two years in December, and the inventory-to-sales ratio was flat.
The inventory-to-sales ratio for durable goods decelerated noticeably in December after sizeable increases in previous months, reducing concerns that undesired inventories continued to build up at the end of the fourth quarter. The smaller inventory build-up in the fourth quarter creates a larger drag on fourth quarter real GDP growth; however, it also lessens the amount of inventory correction needed in the current quarter, assuming sales do not decline significantly.
A larger fourth quarter adjustment in inventories also increases the probability of a quicker upturn in industrial production as businesses respond to dwindling supplies of goods for sale. However, industrial production fell for the fourth consecutive month in January, suggesting that inventories may still be higher than desired. Looking more deeply at the data shows that the drop in production was largely centered in autos, and more specifically in domestic versus foreign auto production. For this reason, production declines in autos were felt more strongly in the Midwest than in the South. Excluding autos, manufacturing output was actually up 0.3 percent in January, and this has been followed by recent increases in both the National Association of Purchasing Managers (NAPM) and Chicago Association of Purchasing Manufacturers.
It is probably too soon to suggest that the decline in manufacturing production may be bottoming out. Data today suggested that new orders for manufactured goods fell in January; however, orders for nondefense capital goods, excluding volatile aircraft and parts segments, were up smartly in January. The NAPM data also suggest rising orders and manufacturing output outside of the motor vehicle industry, which in turn also suggests that once automotive inventories are reduced to comfortable levels, measures of overall industrial production will likely pick up.
Fortunately, inventory adjustment for autos actually seems well underway. It has been widely reported that light vehicle sales rebounded sharply in January to 17 million units, boosted in part by reintroduction of incentive programs by GM and Daimler-Chrysler. Additionally, recently reported production schedules have been revised upward.
Another important key to a rebound in production will be determined by the pace of consumer spending. Retail sales gained a higher-than-anticipated 0.7 percent in January, continuing the trend of December, and implying a stimulus to current quarter consumer spending growth. But much of the gain was due to deep discounting, and overall consumption expenditures were up a more modest .2 percent.
At the present time, it is unclear whether the strength in retail sales reflects improved consumer attitudes. The recent sharp downturn in the University of Michigan Index of Consumer Sentiment suggests otherwise, but these data are reported with a bit of a lag.
It is clear that consumer attitudes have done little to weaken the housing sector. The drop in mortgage rates in November and December of last year helped support the demand for housing. Housing starts and permits soared in January, improving the outlook for current quarter growth in residential fixed investment.
The strength in housing should also contribute to continued strength in consumer durables. When consumers buy houses, they also buy major durables. Housing activity is still at high levels despite the recent drop in existing home sales. New home sales, however, remained brisk, which is where more of the durable expenditures lie. Moreover, the recent upsurge in mortgage refinancing and reports from lenders that consumers are also taking additional equity out of their homes as part of that refinancing suggest that consumer spending for autos and retail goods will be maintained.
A second and closely related factor supporting consumer demand is the situation in labor markets. Weve learned that when people are working they will spend. Weve recently experienced increasing reports of layoffs and cutbacks. Layoff events have clearly accelerated in December and January, but there have been many other periods during the latter half of the expansion when layoff events have been significant. Additionally, while initial claims due to layoffs have increased, they still account for slightly less than 25 percent of the monthly claims for unemployment benefits. About half of the mass layoffs were in manufacturing, which accounts for only 15 percent of the economy. And the bulk of these took place in the auto industry. Finally, we note that in looking at the underlying components and reasons for the layoffs, completion of seasonal work accounted for half the events and half of all separations. Layoffs due to internal corporate restructuring accounted for 14 percent of the layoff events, and permanent closures of work sites accounted for another 12 percent of the events.
The third factor important to growth in 2001 will be investment spending. Business investment has remained very strong over the expansion as businesses have added plants and equipment, especially computers. Part of this investment, I firmly believe, was a logical response to the tightness and quality problems we have experienced in labor markets during the past three years. If businesses cant bid up wages and pass those increased costs on to their customersas has been the very strong message we have received from our business contactsthen the alternative is to substitute capital for labor. That is, give each worker more physical capital to work with so as to improve worker productivity. This so-called capital deepening has been a major source of the economys ability to grow rapidly without engendering increased inflationary pressures. In the fourth quarter of 2000, however, business investment actually became negative as firms struggled to meet earnings forecasts.
I remain optimistic, however, that the current investment pause is only a temporary adjustment and that there is no evidence that our ability to remain on a higher growth path due to increased productivity has fundamentally changed. Indeed, while there has been a fallout in the dot-com area, reports are that old-economy firms are just now beginning to adopt new technologies in their own production and distribution processes.
The fourth factor will be the conditions in credit markets and credit availability. Ive already commented on this from the consumer perspective, but it is also clear that conditions have gotten more stringent in the corporate markets as well. Clearly, the less creditworthy borrowers are being rationed. Banks and other lenders are behaving prudently and credit markets are working. While one side of me welcomes such behavior, there is another side of me that worries that lenders will overreact and inadvertently cause a credit crunch. There is clearly no danger of this happening yet, but it is a source of concern.
While reports on real economic weakness have gained the majority of attention lately, two key inflation measures garnered some commentary as well in the last week. You will recall that both the Producer Price Index and Consumer Price Index (CPI) accelerated in Januaryup to a 4.8 percent and 3.7 percent annual rate, respectively.
I would be remiss as an economist working in the central bank if I didnt say a few words about this. I believe that we can never and should never let down the guard against deteriorating inflationary conditions or increased inflation expectations. We learned the hard way during the 1970s and early 1980s that the costs to the economy of doing so are just too high. However, Januarys acceleration in overall producer and consumer prices does not necessarily signal an alarming inflationary trend for two important reasons: First, these figures represent one month of data only and clearly have some unusual seasonal components affecting them. Second, these price pickups were clearly driven by rising energy prices and were widely anticipated. In the face of dampened aggregate demand and the widely reported inability of companies to pass on higher costs, it is not likely that these increases will persist, all other things being equal.
Furthermore, core producer prices at the intermediate and crude goods levels continue their downward trajectories on a year-ago basis. In addition, year-over-year growth rates of core consumer prices have held relatively steady. For the CPI we are looking at a core rate of 2.6 percent. These are signs that underlying inflationary pressures outside of food and energy remain reasonably subdued.
Given the recent data we have seen, I dont think that inflation will be the biggest challenge facing monetary policymakers this year. Instead, the challenge will continue to be the downside risks to real growth.
Having said that, we are looking forward to another respectable but slower year from the U.S. economy with growth only slightly below trend and with continued low inflation and unemployment. Overall, the current quarter outlook for real growth is less pessimistic than it was even two weeks ago, and the data enhance the chance that the widely forecast pickup in growth in the later half of the year will be realized. Lets hope I am right. Im reminded of the saying that those of us who make our living with a crystal ball also have to learn to eat broken glass.

A view from the clouds: Cloud computing for developers
Use Cases for WebSphere CloudBurst
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  websphere_cloudburst 2,984 Views
I've been out visiting with various user groups and customers this week to talk with them about the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance.
The concept of patterns introduced by WebSphere CloudBurst usually becomes the center of the discussion. These patterns allow users to build and save full representations of WebSphere Application Server middleware environments. WebSphere CloudBurst then allows users to deploy these patterns into a private cloud resulting in quicker, more consistent WebSphere Application server deployments. The appliance also provides facilities to quickly reclaim the resources used by such deployments.
Almost immediately the benefit of using WebSphere CloudBurst in dynamic environments (i.e. test/dev environments) becomes apparent. Users can build and save WebSphere Application Server configurations, quickly deploy those configurations, and reclaim the resources used by those configurations in a rapid manner.
One of the things I've tried to point out during our discussions is that while WebSphere CloudBurst is ideally suited for environments like test/dev, that doesn't mean it can't bring real benefits to a more static production environment.
To start with, the idea of the fidelity of a WebSphere Application Server configuration from development to test to production is compelling. By using WebSphere CloudBurst patterns, the hand-off of an application environment between different teams is expressed as a WebSphere CloudBurst pattern instead of as documents and collections of scripts. This goes a long way in ensuring a smooth production deployment once development and test are satisfied with the environment.
Another extremely powerful feature of WebSphere CloudBurst, particularly with respect to production environments, is the ability to apply both interim fixes and service level upgrades to running WebSphere Application Server environments. Using the WebSphere CloudBurst GUI, users can select virtual systems that were created by the appliance and apply either an interim fix or upgrade the service level of the system. Even better, before the fix or upgrade is applied, WebSphere CloudBurst automatically takes a snapshot of the virtual system. If there are any problems, users can rollback to the previous state of the virtual system by simply clicking a button!
There's little doubt that the most apparent, initial value of WebSphere CloudBurst is likely to be in test and development environments. However, that does not mean the appliance isn't suited for production environments. In fact, it provides many features that make WebSphere Application Server production environments more predictable and easy to maintain. Check out some of the WebSphere CloudBurst content on our community page to learn more about WebSphere CloudBurst in both test/dev and production environments.

More WebSphere CloudBurst demos
I just updated our YouTube channel with a few new WebSphere CloudBurst demos. There is a demo for applying interim fixes, applying service level upgrades, and utilizing cloud groups.
The capabilities for applying interim fixes and service level upgrades are also in some of the longer demos on the channel, but I thought it would be nice to break them out into more consumable chunks (~ 1 minute).
The demo highlighting the utilization of WebSphere CloudBurst cloud groups shows how they can be used to deploy application server nodes behind a firewall while deploying the web server nodes that route to those nodes to a DMZ.
You can check out the demos by going here. Let us know what you think by commenting on the videos or dropping a comment here. I hope the demos help!

REST and WebSphere CloudBurst
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  websphere_cloudburst 2,958 Views
Users of the WebSphere CloudBurst appliance have three interfaces with which to interact with the appliance: GUI console, command line, and REST APIs. The GUI console can be seen by watching our demos out on YouTube, and I recently posted a bit about the CLI.
The REST APIs were introduced with the 22.214.171.124 fixpack. The fixpack can be downloaded by going to IBM Fix Central and selecting WebSphere->WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance->18.104.22.168->Linux. Using the REST APIs users can perform some of the same actions that can be achieved through the GUI and CLI interfaces by way of HTTP requests to well-defined URLs.
For instance, consider a user wanted a list of all the cloud groups defined in a particular WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance. To do so using the REST APIs, an HTTP GET request to the https://<cloudburst_host>:443/resources/clouds URL would be sent. The returned content is represented in JSON:
"created": 1245009533964,
"defaultcloud": "T",
"description": "RM03704"
"hypervisors": [
Rest API Reference Overview 5
"id": 1,
"name": "Default ESX group",
"updated": 1245009533964,
"vendor": "ESX"
Similarly, a user may decide to create a new cloud group using the REST API. This could be accomplished by sending an HTTP POST request to the same URL. This time though, a request body of the following format is sent with the request:
"defaultcloud": "F",
"description": "a test cloud",
"name": "Test cloud",
"vendor": "ESX"
Users can also utilize the PUT and DELETE HTTP methods to update and remove resources in the WebSphere CloudBurst appliance.
If you are interested in exactly how the WebSphere CloudBurst REST API works, you can download the API's documentation here. This reference provides information on what resources are accessible via the REST API, at what URLs resources can be accessed, what operations are available on those resources, and the correct format for all HTTP requests sent to the appliance. In addition, the document provides examples of data formats in both requests and responses.
The HTTP URLs exposed by the REST interface allow users to view WebSphere CloudBurst data and manage WebSphere CloudBurst from a variety of contexts. Using the URLs, users can easily include WebSphere CloudBurst data into mashups and other web-based portals. Users can also write custom code or scripts that leverage these URLs as part of a wider reaching business processes. The REST interface, combined with the GUI and CLI interfaces, provide users with choice and flexibility in how they manage and interact with the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance.

WebSphere CloudBurst from the command line
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  websphere_cloudburst 2,770 Views
In my own opinion, the graphical console offered up by the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance is among the best I have seen in any product within the WebSphere portfolio. The graphical console is intuitive, adaptive to users, and easy on the eyes. From the console, users can create, deploy, and maintain WebSphere virtual systems in their private cloud.

While retrieving a resource collection or specific resource is useful, the CLI can also be used to create, delete, and update resources. The snippet below shows how the cloudburst library can be used to create a new appliance user.

# create a new user
# create a new user
The WebSphere CloudBurst CLI can be used in one of two modes: interactive or batch. In the interactive mode, users issue commands in a shell environment managed by the CLI. In this mode, users can take advantage of interactive wizards that guide them through the creation of different resources, thus providing an easy on-ramp to learning the CLI features.
The other mode of operation is the batch mode which has two different flavors. One way to use batch mode is to invoke the CLI and pass commands inline using the –c argument.
cloudburst –h <websphere_cloudburst_host> -u <user_name> -p <password> -c "cloudburst.users"
cloudburst –h <websphere_cloudburst_host> -u <user_name> -p <password> -c "cloudburst.users"
In the above command, a connection to the appliance at the host specified by the –h argument is made under the user indicated by –u with the password indicated by the –p argument. Once the connection is made, the command specified by the –c argument is executed, thus returning all users of the appliance. In addition to supplying a single -c argument as above, multiple -c arguments can be supplied to execute a chain of logic.
The other way to use batch mode is to supply a Jython script file via the -f argument.
cloudburst –h <websphere_cloudburst_host> -u <user_name> -p <password> -f "addusers.jy"
cloudburst –h <websphere_cloudburst_host> -u <user_name> -p <password> -f "addusers.jy"
The script file should be a valid Jython 2.2.1 script file, and it can optionally use Java libraries as long as they are present on the classpath.

Jess continues this weeks Skip Town Travel Photography Guest Blog with a trip to Vietnam! During the visit Jess provides some great examples to help us brush up on the basics of using our cameras. -Jenny x
Today we're giving a quick overview of the main camera settings that you should know. You're probably already familiar with terms like 'aperture' and 'shutter speed', but hopefully this post will be a helpful brush-up.
These photos from a boat-ride in Vietnam illustrate several of the basic techniques that you can use creatively to take unique and professional looking photographs.
The term 'aperture' refers to control over how much of the photo is in focus (the 'depth of field') through the selection of an f-stop number. A low f-stop provides a shallow depth of field, which looks great for portraits or food photography where you want something to stand out against a blurry background. The beauty of a low f-stop is that more light is let into the camera, allowing you to shoot in near dark without the need for flash.
The two photographs below are good examples of aperture manipulation. The first image (high f-stop) is in focus all the way through to the distance, while the second image (low f-stop) focuses on the boat in the foreground, while the background being very blurry.
Next, as an example of shutter speed, notice that in the image below, the fisherman's net is frozen in mid-air. Generally, you'll need around 1/1000th to freeze action.
All of the images in this series were taken using a 50mm f1.4 lens on a Canon 5D MkII. This is a perfect travel lens because it is light, sharp and good in low light. Shooting a series of images with the same lens makes for a more cohesive looking collection, too.
Finally, let's talk about ISO, which affects the light sensitivity of the camera. The higher you set the ISO, the less ambient light is required for a good exposure. This is especially good for low light situations, like the beach scene below. The sun was going down and we didn't have a tripod, so our solution was to increase the ISO so that we could still use a fast enough shutter speed to hand-hold the camera (this generally requires a shutter speed of at least 1/30th of a sec).
So, next time you're in a low light situation, don't go straight for the flash – have a go at combining a high ISO with a low aperture instead. However, be aware that a high ISO can cause 'noise' which shows up as fine speckles on photos.

Staff at an Blockbuster stores in Ripley and Alfreton are likely to keep their jobs — despite the firm having gone into administration.
The firm called in administrators Deloitte last week and on Saturday it announced that 129 stores will close.
But all of its Derbyshire stores, including those on Grosvenor Road, Ripley , and High Street, Alfreton, have been spared the chop for the time being.
However the stores are still not permanently safe as Deloitte says it will continue to 'review the profitability of the store portfolio'. "Announcements of further closures may be made in coming weeks," a spokesman said.

Hillsborough -- With songs of praise and thanksgiving and an uplifting sermon, Bishop's College, Carriacou's oldest secondary institution commenced activities to commemorate its golden anniversary.
A church service was held on October 7th, 2013 at Christ the King Anglican Church.
Cannon Henderson Guy in his sermon admonished the present student body to continue the legacy of excellence that the institution is known for and asked parents to develop a closer working relationship with staff.
Opening its doors to 167 students on January 3rd, 1964, the institution revolutionized the face of education in the twin isle parish. For the first time, secondary education was available here; in the past many, travelled to Grenada.
Principal, Rholda Quamina, also a past student of the noble institution; noted that from inception the school has made its name in the area of academics; producing the first Island Scholar from Carriacou in the person of John Adams; and also making its mark in the CXC examinations with top performances by many, including Suresh Rao, who in 2000, received the L A LaGrenade Shield for excellent performance in the technical area.
She also noted that special tribute must be paid to Kenneth Nahaijhko who is the longest serving principal -- 21 years.
Other activities to celebrate this milestone include a fitness walk, open air concert and a gala and award ceremony.
The 50th anniversary of Bishop's College culminates in July 2014 and it is the hoped that past students from all around the globe will gather in Carriacou for the celebrations.

Australian group buys SAP support firm
Page Tools
The local branch of a German provider of SAP support has been bought out by an Australian group of investors.
REALTECH Australia is now fully locally owned by a local group whose visible face, Stephen Lloyd-Jones, will be the managing director of the Australian operation.
Lloyd-Jones, the majority owner, said REALTECH, a global support and technology partner for SAP, would continue with the same name and the same logo.
He was appointed as a consultant last September to recommend means of growth and independence from the parent body and ended up executing what he calls "an amicable management buyout.
Lloyd-Jones, who has held positions with Cincom Systems, MRO Software and Legato Systems, said REALTECH Australia, which had 35 staff in Sydney and Melbourne, would expand in Melbourne and add a new office in Queensland.
He said the company would continue to function exclusively as a reseller and technical support of SAP.
Lloyd-Jones said the buyout had nothing to do with REALTECH's New Zealand operations which would continue to be part of the German parent.
"Not at this stage," he said when asked whether he would contemplate buying out the operations in New Zealand.

Scottish comic jumps from cyberspace into TV
By Dave Graham
GLASGOW, Scotland (Reuters Life!) - If you can design a swearing internet xylophone you may end up with your own BBC comedy show one day -- just ask Brian "Limmy" Limond.
Billed variously as "Scotland's most exciting new comedy talent," "internet sensation" and "evil genius," the Glasgow comic on Monday launches his first BBC TV series after rising to fame online with a string of videos, podcasts and pranks.
"I never made my website to try and get anywhere, it was just a laugh," Limond told Reuters in an interview this week.
The journey from his own computer monitor to national television screens is a departure for a man who has not shied away from controversy, and recently posted a new tool on his website offering a unique response to networking site Facebook.
"With the internet I just love how anything goes, especially in the light of this whole Sachsgate," he said, referring to the outcry that followed prank calls by BBC star Jonathan Ross and comedian Russell Brand to "Fawlty Towers" actor Andrew Sachs.
"People are so quick to get offended. I start to feel like it won't be long before they start (censoring) the internet."
"But I accept there are certain things you can't get away with on television," Limond said, looking ahead to the six part sketch show that will air as "Limmy's Show" on BBC 2 Scotland.
After creating a website with animated shorts during the dotcom boom, Limond's expletive-ridden xylophone was spotted by a British magazine, soon followed by one of the video clips he first made as "a stupid wee idea" to entertain his girlfriend. Continued...

He makes me feel REALLY smart. Makes me uncomfortable and sad at the same time. His attitude about carrying is all wrong "I won't be the one running"... please. Sounds like he's just itching to shoot somebody. Waiting for a chance to almost drop his gun while drawing and then do a wild wild west spin flip move to intimidate the (possibly) BG.
There are guys on YouTube, who IMO are actually knowledgeable and have a good head on their shoulders. But it's sad that guys like this, and there are plenty, feel the need to get on and post a bunch of horrible videos and share their "knowledge". Sad to think some people getting into carry will take this guy seriously, thinking he is the real deal.
This guy seriously makes me sad, especially when I see comments that are genuinely trying to help him, and he snaps back with a ridiculous response
I think this guy is destined for the 10 PM TV news.
"Engage your brain before you engage your weapon" - James "Mad Dawg" Mattis
This guy really is the poster child for mandatory training, not just safety but use of force law as well.
It's one thing to make mistakes and maybe not know better, but when people out their are seriously trying to help, educate and make him safe and he just dismisses them because of his "experience" that's really disturbing.
"I got a lot of problems with you people!" - Frank Costanza
I never knew Kenny Powers had a brother. I was rolling when he did his one handed quick draw with a hand full of shirt.
"Life is tough; it's tougher when you're stupid."
I'm banned from commenting on his channel. I didn't take the "you're an incompetent" approach, but instead tried to point out gently several of the many deficiencies that he's promoting and offer advice on how to correct them. I also countered his "I have a bunch of video's and you trolls don't so I'm evidently more knowledgable than you." tactic with "A professional keeps his anonymity and doesn't distribute video's of himself incorrectly handling weapons for other less knowledgeable CCP'ers to use as fact."
This dude's ego has gotten the better of him and like other posters have stated... You can't teach stupid, this guy is definitely that. Someone needs to point out that if he keeps banning knowledgeable gun owners all he'll have left is 13 year old Call Of Duty gamers to watch him shoot himself in the leg. Seem's to me like if you are bragging on how much you practice your draw stroke and then flub it up repeatably, numerous times by getting your shirt wrapped around the firearm's grip, maybe you should practice more or at least edit your deficiencies. God help him and his neighbors who I think will be needing material to patch ND's in their stucco.
I just wasted about 10 minutes disliking every video he has uploaded
It is rare that a true idiot makes themselves this obvious for the rest of us to see. I wouldn't be surprised to see this moron on the news at some point in the form of a mug shot for impersonating a police officer.

"To believe that social reforms can eradicate evil altogether is to forget that evil is a protean creature, forever assuming a new shape when deprived of an old one." - SAT
Never argue with an idiot - they'll bring you down to their level then beat you with experience.
Yep. Banned me as well. My Youtube channel consists completely of my daughter playing in her high school band. I upload the videos and send a link to all the distant relatives so they can see them. he looked at my channel and told me my videos are all crap and that proves I don't know as much as he does about guns. Then he blocked me.
What a tool.

I knew I didn't like Glocks for a reason.
It is because guys like this own them and make videos and put them on the internet.
Sorry Glock guys, but hey he is one of you all.
Now I gotta go watch some more of his videos. I need some good laughs.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

Tori Amos on men
Tori Amos just wrote a beautiful a piece for The Guardian's Observer. She speaks, as a victim of sexual assault, how her life was shaped by the incident, the dangers of masculinity standards and the men in her life.
I think this is really worth reading. I always find it so interesting to read the stories of sexual assault/rape survivors — it's hard to even fathom the strength that such people have to have in order to continue their lives as normal, let alone the strength it would take to share that story and experience with the world. I've always loved Tori's music, such feminist strength in the lyrics. It's nice to know that from something so painful she created beauty.
I have known the violent side …
