In leaving its cash rate unchanged at 4.75 per cent today, the Reserve Bank effectively conceded that the next move in rates will be determined by events outside its and Australia's control. The signs are however that it will cut rates if it gets the room to do so.
In its statement announcing that its key rate had been left unchanged for a ninth consecutive month, the Reserve cited a litany of worries.
These include Europe's sovereign debt crisis, signs that the US economy was stalling and perhaps even sliding back into recession, cautious behaviour by Australian households, "very subdued" lending growth, soft asset prices, including house prices, a high Australian dollar, the final fading of global crisis fiscal stimulus, and a flat jobs market.
The Reserve conceded that, like other forecasters who have lowered their expectations, it now believes that "the near-term growth outlook continues to look somewhat weaker than was expected a few months ago".
It still maintains however that Australia's economic growth "beyond the near term" is likely to at trend — say, 3.5 per cent — or higher.
But there is a caveat. The Reserve says its view that the current economic softness is a short-term phenomenon and that growth will accelerate in the medium term is subject to the fragile world economic outlook not deteriorating further.
And the same caveat qualifies its view that inflation is still a medium-term threat, despite signs that it will come in within the central bank's two to three per cent target range this year. The key question on inflation, the Reserve says, is to what extent the weaker global growth outlook works "in due course, to contain inflation".
That would happen for example if lower global growth pulls commodity prices down, triggering a slowdown in Australia's resources boom: much of the pressure for price increases is coming from the resources sector call on limited supplies of labour, materials and capital.
And if the resources sector cools and inflation expectations are lowered, there would be room for the Reserve to provide some interest rate relief for the rest of the country, where the problems it cites in its statement are being most keenly felt. But it's just a case of watching and waiting at present, beginning tonight as Europe's sovereign debt crisis enters another few days at least of fear and loathing.

Time Schedule:
Henry J. Staten
Seattle Campus
Intensive study of, and exercise in, applying important or influential interpretive practices for studying language, literature, and culture, along with consideration of their powers/limits. Focuses on developing critical writing abilities. Topics vary and may include critical and interpretive practice from scripture and myth to more contemporary approaches, including newer interdisciplinary practices. Prerequisite: minimum grade of 2.0 in ENGL 197 or ENGL 297; a minimum grade of 2.0 in ENGL 202 or ENGL 301; may not be repeated if received a grade of 2.0 or higher.
Class description
For AUTUMN 2007: Formalism and Beyond. The first part of this course will train you in formalist techniques of reading literature. Formalism is an approach that stresses the importance of "the text itself" – the words printed on the page. For this approach, the psychology of the author and the historical context of the text are irrelevant; we must interpret the words of the text and only the words of the text. After developing a grounding in this approach we will study criticisms of it and go on to other approaches that include the factors excluded by formalism. Among these other approaches are psychoanalysis, cultural materialism, and gender theory.

Lindsey Wilson College was founded in 1903 as Lindsey Wilson
Training School by the Louisville Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South. The school was named in memory of Lindsey
Wilson, the deceased nephew and stepson of Mrs. Catherine Wilson of
Louisville, Kentucky. (Today, Lindsey Wilson continues its
affiliation with the Kentucky Annual Conference of The United
Methodist Church.)
Mrs. Wilson contributed $6,000 toward the construction of one of
the school's first buildings, which now serves as the L. R.
McDonald Administration Building. Funding
also came from the citizens of Columbia and Mrs.
James Phillips of Lebanon, Ky., for whom Phillips Hall, a women's
residence hall, is named. Mrs. Kizzie Russell of Columbia also made
substantial gifts.
In its early years, Lindsey Wilson educated grades 1 through 12.
Concentration was on "normal work" to prepare students to be
teachers; many continued their education at Vanderbilt
In 1923, the school's curriculum was reorganized and a college
department offering a junior college degree was added. In 1934,
Lindsey Wilson closed its academy and the school became exclusively
a junior college. The College, however, maintained a Model Training
School from 1933 through 1979.
In 1951, the College was accredited by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, and in 1985, the
College's trustees voted to become a four-year liberal arts
college. Lindsey Wilson graduated its first baccalaureate class in
May 1988.
The College added a master's degree in Counseling and Human
Development in April 1993. The program is accredited by the Council
for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational (CACREP),
and it has been cited by CACREP as a model small-college graduate
program. Graduate programs in education and in Christian Leadership
have been added since then.
While historically the College's focus has been to serve the
citizens of South Central Kentucky, Lindsey Wilson serves a diverse
group of more than 2,600 students representing more than 110 of
Kentucky's 120 counties, 28 states and 31 foreign countries. The
College also has community campuses in the Kentucky cities of
Ashland, Cumberland, Danville, Elizabethtown, Florence, Hazard,
Henderson, Hopkinsville, Lexington, London, Louisville,
Madisonville, Maysville, Paducah, Prestonsburg, Radcliff,
Scottsville, Shelbyville, and Somerset, with other community
campuses in Virginia (Big Stone Gap, Richlands, and Wytheville),
West Virginia (Logan), Tennessee (Gallatin), and Ohio (Cincinnati
and Hillsboro). The College's 2011-2012 enrollment included 2,600
undergraduate and graduate students.
An aggressive development program initiated in 1978 has yielded
a remarkable increase in gift income and more than tripled the
number of donors to the College. This support has enabled the
College to repair and refurbish buildings, improve campus grounds,
strengthen academic programs, and dramatically expand the number of
full-time faculty.
The College completed the $53 million "Changing Lives Campaign" on
June 30, 2010. The campaign supported the construction of the Doris
and Bob Holloway Health & Wellness Center; Harold J. Smith
Hall, a 186-bed residence hall; the Jim and Helen Lee Fugitte
Science Center; the renovation of the Goodhue Building into a
multi-use classroom building; the development of 20 acres of land
along the Louie B. Nunn Parkway into the Lindsey Wilson Sports
Park; added $15 million to the Lindsey Wilson Endowment; and raised
$3.5 million for the Lindsey Wilson Fund.
Since the completion of the "Changing Lives Campaign," two more
buildings have been added to the A.P. White Campus: the Jerry and
Kendrick McCandress Hall and the Dr. Robert and Carol Goodin
Nursing & Counseling Center.
Graduate programs offered include a Master of Arts in Christian
Leadership; a Master of Education degree in Counseling and Human
Development with a specialization offered in Mental Health
Counseling and a Master of Education for Teacher as
Bachelor of Arts programs are available in the following
areas: Art, Art Education P-12, Business Administration,
Christian Ministries, Communication, Criminal Justice, Elementary
Education P-5, English, History, Human Services &
Counseling, Integrated Music Education P-12,Mathematics, Media
Studies, Middle Grades Education 5-9, Physical Education P-12,
Physical Education/Health P-12, Psychology, Recreation,
Tourism & Sport Management, Secondary Education 8-12, and
Social Science. A Contract, or individualized major is also
available but must be approved by the Academic Affairs
Bachelor of Science programs are available in the following
areas: Biology, Biology Education, Nursing, and
Pre-nursing courses are offered to first-year students, and
professional nursing courses are offered for those students
accepted into the Nursing program. A Psychophysiology degree, an
interdisciplinary program incorporating study in psychology,
biology and chemistry, began in fall 2010.
Minor areas of concentration are offered in: Accounting, Art,
Biology, Business Administration, Chemistry, Christian Ministries,
Communication, Criminal Justice, English, History, Journalism,
Mathematics, Political Science, Psychology, Spanish, Theatre, and
Women's Studies.
Associate in Arts programs are available in: Art, Business
Management, Computer Information Systems, Criminal Justice,
Engineering Mechanics, Health Science, and Religion.
Work toward the baccalaureate and associate degrees may be pursued
in the day and evening during fall, winter, spring and summer
terms. Graduate students attend evening and weekend classes which
are scheduled year-round. Online courses are also available.

Bank and insurer
Speaking to shareholders at the Brisbane-based company's annual general meeting, chief executive
"Although Australia has passed through the global financial crisis better than most developed nations, this does not mean we can expect a rapid return to the economic growth and buoyancy that preceded the crisis," he said.
"Global and local financial markets will remain unsettled.
"This is impacting on the cost of funds for Australian banks and is influencing their response to the RBA's (Reserve Bank of Australia's) recent interest rate rise."
Mr Snowball made no mention of Suncorp's interest rates in his scripted speech.
He also mentioned the challenge corporates face in dealing with a hung federal parliament.
"It will take time for these arrangements to be clearly understood and for companies such as Suncorp to adapt to the new terms of engagement with Canberra," Mr Snowball said.
Suncorp recently proposed the adoption of a non-operating holding company (NOHC) structure.
The move would result in a new listed parent company, to be called Suncorp Group Ltd, overseeing Suncorp's three major businesses - general insurance, banking and life insurance.
The proposal will be put to shareholders in December, and Mr Snowball and chairman John Story on Thursday recommended the move to the meeting.
"Our priorities for the coming year are clear," Mr Snowball said.
"Our full attention will be on implementing our plans and achieving profitable growth and we see this as the way to begin to meet the expectations our shareholders have for our group."
Suncorp shares added 19¢, or 2.03 per cent, to $9.57.

PULLMAN, Wash. - The University of Nevada women's tennis team dropped its Saturday match against Washington State by a score of 5-2.
In the second game of its three-match road trip, the Wolf Pack (0-4) was only able to pick up three wins in the loss to the Cougars (8-2). The lone singles victory of the day came from Emma Verberne, as she powered past Ksenia Googe in straight sets 6-1, 6-3.
"The day started off close," head coach Guillaume Tonelli said. "We were right there in a lot of close matches but they just slipped away. We need to come out strong tomorrow to finish the road trip."
The Pack notched two doubles victories, one from the team of Verberne and Michelle Okhremchuk, as they defeated the pair of Liudmila Vasilieva and Elizaveta Luzina. The doubles point-securing victory came from the team of Sophie Stevens and Juliette Legendre, as they held on for the nailbiter over the team of Charlotte Koning and Andjela Kankaras by a score of 9-7.
The Wolf Pack is in action again tomorrow Montana at 9 P.M.

Jun 6, 2012 - By Martin Reed, Staff WriterFremont County Solid Waste Disposal District officials will meet with Atlantic City residents Thursday night in the South Pass community to discuss concerns about severely decreased trash transfer station hours.
In an interview Wednesday, District superintendent Andy Frey said the meeting resulted from several concerns expressed by the community's residents.
"There's been just such a tremendous amount of calls from that area, so we're just going to get up there and talk to them. In fact, they asked us to," Frey said.
The meeting at the Miner's Delight bed and breakfast in Atlantic City starts at 6:30 p.m.
The district's board last month approved changes at most trash transfer stations in the county as a financial move that resulted in limits hours at two to three days a month compared to their former 24-7 availability.
The sites with the reduced hours are Atlantic City, Jeffrey City, Hudson, Missouri Valley, Pavillion, Lysite and Shoshoni. The Dubois station is not affected, and the four sites on the Wind River Indian Reservation are part of ongoing negotiations for tribal management of them.
Frey is proposing an extra day at certain sites each month. The solid waste board will address transfer stations during its meeting that starts at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 11, at the Lander landfill offices.
The changes are not only generating complaints from residents who dispose of their trash at the sites but also from some county commissioners concerned about the new hours.
"This solid waste issue needs to be addressed," commission chairman Doug Thompson said during the board's meeting on Tuesday. "The outlying communities have been ignored."
Thompson noted the new transfer station hours will cause trash to accumulate at homes and businesses for several days at a time. He called it an "unworkable situation and a threat to the health and safety of the county."
"In this vein we need to clearly express our disappointment with the board," Thompson said.
With the limited hours, the solid waste district "might as well close the transfer stations and make everybody go to the landfills," he said.
In the former uranium boom town of Jeffrey City near where Thompson resides, he said residents told district officials they would volunteer at the transfer station to keep it open daily.
"It was pretty much totally ignored, and that is disappointing to me," he said.
The Split Rock Cafe in Jeffrey City would face significant challenges with its trash, Thompson said. "I don't think the Split Rock can have that capacity to keep that trash around," he said.
The same concerns exist for Atlantic City residents, including Marjane Ambler, who has lived in the area since 2007 but initially moved to the community for a stint in 1980.
"We think our situation is a little different since we have such a tourism economy," Ambler said, criticizing the solid waste district for limiting the hours based on monthly trash averages "instead of taking into consideration the seasonal nature of Atlantic City."
Ambler said the Miner's Grubstake restaurant in Atlantic City would face significant challenges. "Because they're probably the biggest, this affects them more than anyone else," she said.
"They're open six days a week from 12 to 14 hours a day. They serve like 60 meals a day through the summer. They generate a lot of bottles, food garbage and just quantities" that would create a severe hardship on the business due to trash disposal, Ambler said.
The town has other businesses including the Atlantic City Mercantile and the Miner's Delight bed and breakfast that would also be hit, she said. The area also offers the state rest stop nearby, two Bureau of Land Management campgrounds and the South Pass City Historic Site.

Swami Epstein machines are pessimistic, coin-operated fortune-telling vending machines found in Fort Frolic and the Gift Shop of Ryan Amusements. Unfortunately, the machine has absolutely no use in the game aside from something to waste a little time, and money on, and will generally tell the player negative fortunes.
Quotes Edit
The following is a list of phrases the Swami may say. The name of the source audio file is listed when known.
- "Let me tell you this: I wouldn't bet on you."
- "So, better luck next time."
- "Eh. Perhaps in a past life you did something terrible to somebody."
- "Well, I hope you have somebody to carry on your family name."
- "So, you think you're getting out of here?"
- "Uh. It won't go well. It won't go well at all."
- "Hmmm, no, I don't think so."
- "Believe me when I tell you I wouldn't want to be in your shoes."
- "Darling, just close your eyes and hope it's over quickly."
- "Look at the bright side: maybe it'll be quick and painless."
- "So, uh, you have a plot picked out yet?"
- "Sweetheart, maybe you should ask somebody else for advice."
Video Edit
- In BioShock this fortune teller machine costs one Dollar to operate, although oddly, two dollars are taken when it is used, and the machine will function even if the player has no money at all. In BioShock 2 the machine is less devious and only takes one dollar as it says it will.
Behind the Scenes Edit
- Jean-Paul LeBreton, the Level Designer of Farmer's Market, had originally planned to add one of these machines to the level, but forgot to. To "restore his karma," he added one to Ryan Amusements' Gift Shop in BioShock 2.[1]
- Epstein the Swami is based on an automation called Zoltar.

I encourage clients to tell their stories in an environment of safety and acceptance. I use the psychosocial perspective that encompasses a broad range of relevant information to achieve a holistic understanding of the client in the full context of his or her history and present life. I encourage emotional expression, recognition and development of strengths and skills, spiritual exploration, and mindful acceptance. Mandala art therapy and assessment, Neuro-Integration, and Emotional Freedom Technique greatly facilitate the process if the client chooses.

MADE x UNBOXED
MADE.COM takes on the high street to offer great original furniture design at affordable prices. It has recently turned its customers' homes into its showrooms with the launch of its own social network. I was asked to be a part of this network and have MADE.COM photograph their gorgeous Dhurries Trek Wool Rug in my lounge and have other parts of my home featured (plus a couple of mug shots unfortunately!)
This new online community called MADE Unboxed (www.made.com/unboxed) launched last month and continues the brand's trail of innovation in the interiors market. Unboxed enables people to connect with existing MADE customers in their own neighbourhood, take a virtual house tour and even meet face to face to see how they've styled their MADE products. Visitors to Unboxed can search by area or for a specific product to see who has purchased what in their neighbourhood.
Chloe Macintosh, MADE.COM Co-Founder and Creative Director, said: "Unboxed contextualises our products without the need for costly lifestyle shoots or high street shops, which ultimately the customer would pay for. But more than that, Unboxed demonstrates 'collaborative consumption' a movement empowering consumers to take inspiration from each other.
"We tested the idea at Salone del Mobile in April, using four of our customer's Milan apartments as exhibition space to showcase our new collections and the response was overwhelming. People not only want to see products in a real life situation, but more than ever we are fascinated by how others have decorated their homes…"
This is the latest investment in innovation for the brand that was one of the first e-tailers to bridge the gap between online and offline with its showrooms in Notting Hill and Leeds; undergo a trial with digital tagging service CloudTags within its London showroom and also launch an augmented reality app enabling customers to view its products within their homes.
I've been really impressed with the quality and service of MADE.COM and awaiting the delivery of a LULU footstool in Pisa Grey over the next couple of weeks. Will be Instagramming about it's arrival… Follow my Instagram and Twitter feeds @onesugarplease.

Blog Hop
Last week I was tagged by Madeline Norris of By Meeni, to join a 'blog hop' – where another blogger tags you in a post to answer some questions and give a little insight into your world. Below are the questions Madeline asked me and my answers.
1. What have been the doings/makings/scribblings at your desk/making table in the last week?
I've been mainly working on print and graphic design jobs this week – developing branding, designing stationery and printed publicity. As it's the end of term, my recycled 'Thank You' note cards have been given a plug online too as they're lovely to give to teachers.
2. Where are you currently finding your inspiration? (influences, heroes/who, sources of inspiration, paths exploring)
I have been randomly inspired by my washi tape patterns and colours over the last few weeks – I love how simple and effective they are. Also, a renovated Norwegian church I came across in Swansea at the weekend. I loved it's leaf-like windows and monochrome look – it had be renovated into a jewellers workshop and gallery space.
3. How important is being creative to you & how do you blend this with your work/life/family balance?
Being creative is part of who I am and in all my work as a graphic designer. I'm fortunate enough to be able to run my business productively from home, so I get to spend plenty of time with my dog Bailey and find the time to cook too most days, which is another creative outlet for me.
All to discover other bloggers, artists, writers, makers and designers, I tag the ever talented Elizabeth Dunker from Fine Little Day and Francine Schokker from COW Studio to "blog hop" on their blogs and answer these questions too!
Super Green Tea Pigs Giveaway
Tea is an amazing drink. Calming, restoring, thirst-quenching and balancing, I find a lot of happiness in putting the kettle on. There's extra happiness to be found in the various green teas from Tea Pigs. Their handy cartons of Matcha Super Power Green Tea drinks in Elderflower, Grapefruit and Apple are a completely new (and convenient) way of drinking the health-boosting matcha green tea. Blended with juice and spring water, the drinks are really fresh and full of the natural flavonoid energy that matcha green tea contains.
I like to make a 'Matcha Green Tea & Manuka Latte' using the matcha green tea powder….
You only need a small amount of the powder in your glass or mug, then use a little warm water to make a smooth paste before adding hot milk and some manuka honey before whisking up using a battery powered whisk. Who needs to go to Starbucks when you can make these?
The whole leaf Mao Feng Green Tea is lovely and clean tasting infused in it's 'tea temple' for no longer than 3 minutes. I like to then add a slice of lemon for a bit of zing!
I have a super green selection to giveaway to one person which includes, 3 Matcha Super Power Green Tea drinks in Grapefruit, Elderflower and Apple, a box of Mao Feng Green Tea, a box of Super Power Green Organic Matcha Powder with a glass, measuring spoon, an AeroLatte whisk and mini badge.
To be in with a chance of winning all of this, please do all of the following if possible…

Illyria Pottery
On a "school trip" to Oxford yesterday to visit the Modern Art Gallery's new Barbara Kruger exhibition, I came across a beautiful shop in Jericho.
Illyria Pottery is handmade by ceramic artist, Katie Coston. The earthy toned pieces in the shop with their mixture of glazes were so tactile I couldn't resist picking them up for a closer look and feel. The shop interior itself perfectly complimented the pottery featuring raw disused spools and concrete slabs, chalkboard paint and up-cycled vintage crate shelving. Nice to see somewhere else using spools creatively like we did for the Made By pop-up shops and fair. I especially liked the tree branch mug holders which looked as if they were growing out from the wall. There was a sweet display of locally made soaps with bunting made from triangles of actual soap and unique ceramic jewellery hung from nails in vintage books. I happily left with some thyme and poppyseed soap and a glass bottomed and green glazed small pot pleased to have found a lovely shop in a lovely part of Oxford.
The Affordable Art and Design Fair
For the last few months, myself and other ladies from the Made By collective have been planning and organising an art and design fair to be held in an old light aircraft top hangar. Selecting artists from applications, arranging a pop-up tea shop, and styling the big wide space was a huge task but the day was fantastic. Around 500 people walked through the large open metal hangar doors, cakes sold out by 2pm, dogs pottered around with their owners, and the feedback we had from the sellers and visitors was amazing. Above are some of my favourite photos from the day but more can be seen here.
Earth Oven Baking
I spent last Friday helping to spruce up an old light aircraft top hangar into a creative venue for artisan craft workshops, music, and for the Made By Affordable Art & Design Fair I've been organising for the last few months. At the end of a few hours hanging banners, sweeping and painting, the reward of sampling the very first warm, freshly baked bread from the newly built earth oven on site was wonderful. The wood burning earth oven was made by artist/chef Lizzy Bean using cob – a mixture of earth, clay and straw – on top of a cut down tree trunk. Lizzy made some quick but tasty chilli, rosemary and sea salt flat breads and the oven will be used to cook fresh pizzas during events at the Top Hangar this week and on Saturday for the fair. The beautiful willow baskets and servers were made that same day on site by Lodge Wood Basket Makers.
2 weeks ago, I had an afternoon tea party to celebrate my 30th birthday at The Spark in Lichfield. I decorated the room with bright multi-coloured bunting, helium filled balloons, yellow daisies, and made mini paper bunting and washi tape flags to decorate the (already pretty) cakes with.
The Spark did such a super spread of cakes and sandwiches for us all to tuck into while we chatted and listened to mid-century jazz. Everything was delicious. Big cake favourites were huge slices of chocolate Guiness cake, courgette and lime cake, and raspberry coconut whoopie pies. A lovely afternoon with my lovely friends and family.

white oakley sunglasses he glasses excellent buy, wish the had a brown case would have bought the brwon glasses and the brown case also. It is great case and beautiful color fit my large sunglasses in them . the hard case is brilliant as it is impossible where ever you p Taipei best mattress reviews ralph lauren watches aning cloth. Quality good, price ridiculous, and convenience great, hence five stars. Very good for the price, not to dark but good anti-glare .Fits on most glasses with no problems. Case handy for car. light to wear easy to put on and take off omits the sun ideal for driving no problems best kept in box provided for max protection The polarized lenses lenses are good at their job if a little flimsy The clip that fits to yourMelbourne circle sunglasses best places to retire usa .
with reading or measuring in the workshop. I find that the magnifying part of the lens is a little low down so have to push the glasses up as high as they'll go on my nose. This may be just the shape of my face though:-)
the glasses are fine, very comfortable and effective although the magnified section of the lens could do with being a bit bigger as you really do have to look down to quite an extent to see an item in gteater detail
I bought these based on feedback but did not really expect them to be as good as the chanel espadrilles on the edges of my vision, I don't get blinded when turning.
They are decently dark, without being too distracting.
The only problem for me would be where they sit on your nose, after a couple of hours it is slightly annoying. I mean a couple of hours, though, but the sun around here hardly ever lasts for that long anyway (in the UK).
I like the design, it looks cool, and the price oakley flak jackets I bought them. Very satisfied with these sunglasses!
I love the large and dark wayfarers. They are very hard to find. I love these shades, they are nice and dark just the way I love them. Delivery was fast and free......! Which is also a plus....!
I love the glasses and they fit and look great however they didnt send the protective bag which Is a big reason I ordered a second set. 3 stars until the.

Facing elimination, the Giants narrowly defeated their in-league rival Red Sox by the score of 2-1 at McKelvey Park in Mountain View.
Trailing by 1 and down to the last six outs of their season, the Giants rallied in the top of the fifth to notch up the score on catcher Hunter Simmons' RBI single to center. They would score again in the top of the sixth on Daniel Tangi's RBI grounder to short.
The Red Sox had already beaten the Giants five times in the regular season and once more in the playoffs, making this victory a sweet one for the Giants.
"It was really fun," said Giants starter Steven Nakahama, "They play a good game." Nakahama pitched six solid innings of one-run baseball. His only blemish came from the bat of his counterpart, Red Sox pitcher Colton Bellandi, who smacked an inside-the-park home run in the bottom of the third.
Bellandi also pitched a strong six innings, and the Giants had to earn their runs off the hard-throwing right-hander.
"I've coached for a long time," said Giants coach Joe Mitchner after the game, "You don't get a game too often where two kids throw that hard."
A rematch of these two teams decided the MVLL Champion on Wednesday, June 7, after the Voice went to press. The winner of that game advances to the District 44 Tournament of Champions, beginning June 19.

Chrysler will announce today that it's paying back its government loans, the Associated Press says, based on a "person briefed on the matter."
But it's complicated. The repayment won't come because Chrysler is necessarily making loads of cash, but rather because it's borrowing from somewhere else. The terms of the government package that saved Chrysler from extinction have been a sore point with Chrysler's top bosses from Italy's Fiat. CEO Sergio Marchionne says the loans carry interest rates of up to 12% a year.
The AP says a refinancing deal would allow Chrysler to repay $5 billion that it still owes the U.S. government and $1.6 billion that is owed to Canadian government entities. Chrysler has been trying for months to refinance the loans, which have high interest rates and cost the company $1.2 billion in interest payments last year.
Getting rid of the government debt could boost the automaker in the eyes of consumers. Many resent Chrysler and General Motors having gotten government bailout.

Hayhoe was pilloried as a "climate babe" by hate-radio host Rush Limbaugh for her participation in a planned book edited by Newt Gingrich on a conservative response to the threat of manmade global warming. Climate-denier Chris Horner tried to force Texas Tech to turn over all of the "activist" Hayhoe's records related to the book. Climate-denier operative Marc Morano, a former employee of Rush Limbaugh and Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), published her email on a screed-filled website, encouraging attacks on Dr. Hayhoe...
These attacks on climate scientists have been a troubling problem for years. In 2010, ABC News reported on death threats received by scientist Michael Mann. MIT climatologist Kerry Emanuel received threats against his family for appearing at a recent forum with Republicans who want action on climate change. Morano published an attack on Emanuel's wife at his website.

Queen Elizabeth II's popularity has soared, a new poll finds, but not so high that her subjects approve of renaming the Big Ben clock tower the "Elizabeth Tower" in her honor.
In a consensus vote last month, Parliament approved renaming the tower holding the familiar clock to mark the queen's Diamond Jubilee of 60 years on the throne. According to a poll this week by Angus Reid Public Opinion, the queen's approval rating stood at 80%, up 6 percentage points since January.
The high ratings are partly the result of the big jubilee celebrations in June in London, when the queen and the royal family starred in four days of pomp and pageantry shown around the world.
STORY: Queen sails down Thames as thousands cheer in London
So it's something of a surprise that the poll also found that 54% of the 2009 people surveyed reject the idea of renaming the tower at Westminster Palace holding Big Ben.
The poll found that the queen's grandson and his wife, Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (a.k.a Kate Middleton), remain numbers one and two in royal popularity, with the queen in third place and Prince Harry in fourth. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, the wife of the queen's heir, Prince Charles, remains the most unpopular senior royal, with 44% holding a negative view of her, but even her ratings edged up a bit in the first half of the jubilee year.
But why the resistance to renaming the clock tower?
Mario Canseco, vice president of Angus Reid, told The Express newspaper that Brits don't like to mess with their important symbols.
"I think it just shows the public don't want to see any change to what they regard as an iconic building."

Awareness and choices will be common themes in a special appearance in Bolingbrook by the youthful MWAH! Performing Arts Troupe. The 90-minute assembly at Brooks Middle School for all eighth-grade students will begin at 8:40 a.m. Monday, Nov. 4.
In addition to highlighting the threat posed by the recent influx of narcotics in the western suburbs, the troupe will focus on several recent cyber-bullying-related youth suicides, including a 12-year-old girl from Florida and several youth from downstate Illinois and the Chicago suburbs. And, in a positive contrast, they'll share recent success stories involving Brooks Middle School students and staff members.
Other issues in the spotlight – using various forms of the performing arts – will include the challenges of dealing with divorce and family break-ups; coping with racial and ethnic discrimination; and the appropriate handling of abusive situations, both at school and at home, including current procedures at Brooks for dealing with bullying.
The essence of the 12-member MWAH! ensemble – an acronym for Messages Which Are Hopeful – is real-life drama combined with contemporary music and lots of audience interaction.
A key objective on Monday will be to prompt Brooks eighth-graders to think about some life-and-death issues presented by peers and then relate the messages to their own lives.
In the finale, a number of Brooks students will join MWAH! troupe members in a choreographed hip-hop dance, having rehearsed together earlier that morning. The program will be held in the auditorium of the school, 350 Blair Lane.
Current troupe members range in age from 12 to 18, and attend 11 schools in seven cities and towns throughout the western suburbs, as well as Rockford.
The nonprofit troupe is affiliated with Kids Do Count, Inc. and the Chicago Area Project, a grassroots service and advocacy program based in Chicago, and part of an Illinois-wide community services network targeting at-risk youth and their families.
Arranging for the troupe's appearance at Brooks has been Loretta Furtute, assistant principal; Danielle McDermott, eighth-grade counselor; and Cheryl Jordan, administrative assistant of the Bolingbrook office of the DuPage County Area Project, sponsor of the event.
Further information about the MWAH! Performing Arts Troupe is available at www.mwah.net.

Brigadier Andrew Mackay, commander of the 52 Infantry Brigade in Edinburgh, will now head Task Force Helmand in southern Afghanistan.
The Brigadier has just joined his Scots-based staff in Lashkar Gah in Helmand Province.
The area, in the south-west of the country, is reported to be responsible for more than 40% of the world's opium.
He has taken over from Brigadier John Lorimer, commander of the outgoing 12 Mechanised Brigade.
Brigadier Mackay will command approximately 7,000 personnel from NATO's International Stability Assistance Force including British, Estonian and Danish troops.
He said "Counter insurgency operations in Afghanistan are complex, demanding and conducted at a high tempo.
"Our predecessors have achieved significant success here in Helmand. It is our job to take that work forward.
"Our training and preparation have been thorough and we are ready for the challenges ahead."
About 150 officers and soldiers serving with the Headquarters of 52 Infantry Brigade have been deploying to Lashkar Gah in Southern Helmand since August.
Most of the headquarters' staff are normally based in Edinburgh's Redford Cavalry Barracks.
The Brigade's Deputy Chief of Staff Major Nick Haston, of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, from Edinburgh, said: "We are fully prepared for the next 6 months in every way possible to support the Government of Afghanistan.
"We are a potent force within the NATO mission and everything we do will have a positive impact on the future of Afghanistan and it is our intention to make a difference, developing Afghanistan governance, economy and security in the long-term."

QUEENSLAND pensioners stand to lose about $50 million in concessions from July 1 as Campbell Newman leads the nation's premiers to war against Tony Abbott over the cuts.
The premiers have launched an all-out assault over the PM's decision to abandon funding agreements with the states.
In an extraordinary move, Mr Newman has called on Queenslanders to lobby federal MPs from his own party over the cuts.
The line up of premiers — most of them conservatives and from each state except Western Australia — also flagged they would lobby the Senate to block the cuts.
Mr Newman directly contradicted the PM, who only hours earlier had insisted there would be no immediate impact from the cuts.
Mr Newman said Queensland pensioners were in line to lose $50 million in concessions for electricity, water and public transport from July 1.
In a stinging attack, he also claimed the federal Budget cut 1200 hospital beds nationally, cut preventive health programs such as the Diabetic Association, raised rates, sliced funding for aged care and dwindling public housing stock.
The premiers are also fighting a long-term funding overhaul which has seen $80 billion cut from the states over 10 years.
Mr Newman also labelled Mr Abbott's $7 co-payment for GP services "a big deal" that would contribute to cost of living pressures.
Mr Abbott said none of the long-term funding was truly in the Budget.
"We promised that there would be no reductions over the forward estimates," he said.
"We never said that we were going to maintain Labor's pie in the sky promises in the out years."
The premiers, meeting in Sydney on Sunday, called on Mr Abbott to convene an emergency COAG meeting by July 1 and refused to accept the cuts.
Mr Abbott declined last night but a spokeswoman said he would continue to talk with premiers about their concerns.
Mr Newman urged Queenslanders to pick up the phone or send an email to their local federal member or senator and ask them to stand up for the State.
"I have been ringing and giving a few people an earful because that's how serious it is and I can tell you there are some members and senators from my state who are taking what I am saying extremely seriously," he said.
Mr Newman is expected to continue lobbying Mr Abbott personally when they share a flight to Rockhampton today for the funeral of cattle baron Graeme Acton.
He said while he had a lot of respect for Mr Abbott, he did not believe he fully understood the impact the loss of funding would have.
"I am confident that when these things are placed in front of him that he will get the message," he said. "From my own perspective, I can deal with a national partnership that is coming to its end … but I think what gets up everyone's nose here is when an agreement that was signed in good faith has been ripped up and that can't be allowed to continue."
Mr Newman ruled out agreeing to tax increases including the GST, saying there was enough pressure on cost of living for families.

Long winning streaks are nothing new to the Indianapolis Colts.
Their 14-0 start and NFL-record regular-season winning streak of 23 straight games are remarkable achievements. But the Colts streaks shouldn't come as a surprise when you look back on their recent history.
In 2004, the Colts started 4-3 and won their next eight games in a row. They finished the regular season with a 12-4 record. The next season, in 2005, Indianapolis marched to a 13-0 record before losing to San Diego at home, finishing the season two weeks later at 14-2.
In their Super Bowl championship season of 2006, the Colts won nine straight to begin the year and finished 12-4. They started 2007 with a 7-0 mark, ending the regular season at 13-3. And they began their current regular-season winning streak last season when they had a 3-4 record, finishing with nine consecutive victories to finish 12-4.
The only interruption in the Colts current streak was a 23-17 overtime loss to the Chargers in the AFC wild-card round of the playoffs last season. (Indianapolis' last regular-season loss came on Oct. 27, 2008 by a 31-21 score at Tennessee.)
"You try to tell these guys that when you win a couple in a row, or three or four in a row, this is not normal," Colts quarterback Peyton Manning said following a 27-17 win over Tennessee in Week 13 that gave the Colts 12 wins in a season for a record seventh consecutive year.
"It's not normal to win 10 or 11 or 12 games every year," Manning added. "But these guys that have been here five years would tell me it is normal for us. That's all they've done."
The Colts still have a chance at a perfect and abnormal, 16-0 regular season, something only the 2007 New England Patriots have achieved.
Hasn't Been Easy
Of the Colts 14 wins this season, seven have come when trailing in the fourth quarter. Indianapolis pulled off another fourth-quarter come-from-behind victory last week at Jacksonville, when Manning hit Reggie Wayne with a 65-yard touchdown pass with 5 minutes 32 seconds to play for a 35-31 lead.
Rookie cornerback Jacob Lacey secured the 35-31 win with an interception with 0:56 left. Manning, who led the Colts 70 yards in three plays and 42 seconds on the game-winning drive, now has engineered 43 career fourth-quarter comebacks.
"This is who we are," Wayne said. "We're built for 60 minutes. It won't be pretty all the time, but we're getting it done."
The Indianapolis Colts have won an NFL record 115 games in this decade, the most for any decade. The previous record before the Colts set it in Week 14 was 113 by the San Francisco 49ers in the 1990s. Here is the Colts regular-season record for this decade:
- 2000: 10-6
- 2001: 6-10
- 2002: 10-6
- 2003: 12-4
- 2004: 12-4
- 2005: 14-2
- 2006: 12-4
- 2007: 13-3
- 2008: 12-4
- 2009: 14-0*
*Two games remaining.
- Go-To Receiver: Denver wide receiver Brandon Marshall set an NFL record with 21 receptions for 200 yards and two touchdowns in a game at Indianapolis in Week 14. That broke Terrell Owens mark of 20 catches with the San Francisco 49ers nine years ago.
- Another 10-Td Season: Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson has his ninth consecutive season of at least 10 touchdowns, extending his NFL record.
Did You Know?
San Francisco's Alex Smith is the first 49ers quarterback to throw for two-plus touchdowns in four straight games since Jeff Garcia did it in 2003.
The Dallas Cowboys gave 3-D glasses to more than 90,000 fans in Week 14 to view the game on the giant video boards hanging above the field. But the experiment didn't make it past the first quarter, much to the fans delight…The Colts' Peyton Manning is the first quarterback to pass for 4,000 yards in 10 seasons. Former Miami Dolphins QB Dan Marino is second with six seasons…Jacksonville's game against Indianapolis last week was its final home game of the season, and first sellout with 63,753 fans in attendance. It also was the first Jacksonville home game this year that wasn't blacked out on local television. The Jaguars were blacked out for nine consecutive home games, including two preseason contests. There were 17,000 Jaguars season ticket holders who did not renew this season.

Lincoln Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Welcome and thanks for your question. My name isXXXXX will do whatever I can to answer your questions!
What is going on with your alight for the traction advance? The advance track works from the abs and the engine controls. Do you have any abs codes or engine codes?
i do have an engine code of p0316
That code is for a random misfire in the first two minutes of start up This will not cause the traction light to stay on. You need to check the abs for codes with a tester that can access the abs module.
Ls had a lot of concerns with there coil on plugs causing missfire codes
yes, that figures, the po316 code is vague as well, the car runs good no hesitation to speak of, is that going to be one of 15 different thing as well
how do i know which coil is missfirng
i tried unplging them 1 at a time but could not really tell a sig difference
You need to what for a specific code for a cylinder or remove the cover over the coil on plugs remove the coils and see if there is water or oil on any of them. The common concern was water leaking onto the coils and or the valve cover leaking oil on the coil on plugs.
already did they are dry and clean
Some tester have mode 6 and they will tell you which cylinder or cylinders are missfirng before it sets a code.
i have not pulled the plugs yet. if it is misfiring the plug will look different as well ?
not mine
i think we have 2 different chats going
For the most part all the coil on plugs were a bad design back then on the LS . It would not hurt replacing all of them.
Are you talking to another expert?
they are both pics of you
maybe i just have 2 windows open
i am closing this one . ok
I only have one open and I am talking to you on this chat. Is there a name for the other expert you may be talking to?
it on my end . sorry
no problem do want you want to do.

How to Hunt Whitetail Deer
>:>:> Search How to Hunt Whitetail Deer <:<:<
Click Here
As a man who is absolutely obsessed with hunting and who interprets the world through the lens of hunting, I would like to tell you that a lifetime of hunting success is available right now.
It doesn't how much you know or the experience you have.. What matters is that you have an insatiable desire to harvest the type of whitetail you dream of.
Come Share My Obsession and Passion For Hunting
My friends call me a hunting savant. Like The Rainman was good with numbers that is me with hunting.
My wife says that although I may lose the keys, forget to take out the garbage and forget to put the toilet seat down, my laser focus and obsession with hunting gives me, as my wife, family, and hunting buddies say nearly psychotic insight to the way whitetail behave.
I live and breath deer hunting. I say that really there are two types of people in the world, deer hunters and those that aren't yet deer hunters.
Sit next to me on an airplane and if you aren't a hunter before, well I guarantee you will seriously be considering it by the time we land. One cousin calls me a "deer hunting evangelist." I would say that that is actually a pretty accurate description.
If I might veer off course here a bit, hunting is a skill and within that skill is a sort of Zen like mastery that comes when sound fundamentals join with experience and guidance. I can offer you the guidance and the fundamentals. Study Deer Secrets and when you go into the field, you can begin to develop that Zen like supernatural mastery of intuition that all great hunters have.

ZURICH (Jul. 13)
Neutral governments interested in saving Hungarian Jews from being deported to extermination camps are permitting their diplomatic representatives in Budapest to issue passports to a limited number of these Jews, thus accepting them as citizens and offering them their protection, it is reported in Hungarian newspapers reaching here today.
"A number of Jews," the Budapest paper Magyarsag writes, "who only recently wore a yellow Star of David, are now seen on the streets of Budapest without any such insignia. They are conspicuous by their insolent behavior. These Jews have found a back door since certain neutral countries displayed readiness to grant them citizenship.
"We cannot raise any objection to this procedure," the paper continues. "But we consider the action of the neutral governments as an unfriendly act and as sabotage of our Hungarian laws." In retaliation against the Jews who secured neutral citizenship, the paper urges the Hungarian authorities to see to it that no labor permits are granted to them, since they fall into the category of aliens. "A proper check-up should be carried out to determine the sources of income of these Jews after they have been deprived of permits to earn a livelihood in Hungary," the article suggests.
A number of leading Hungarian anti-Semites are now en route to Germany, invited to participate in a conference called by Col. Fleischauer, notorious Nazi Jew baiter and head of the anti-Semitic World Service which the German government publishes in many languages for dissemination throughout the world.
The conference, which will be held in Erfurt, will be devoted to "tasks in connection with the struggle against the Jews," the Hungarian press reports. The Hungarian delegation includes a number of members of parliament and high officials connected with the Hungarian Institute on Jewish Question.
Budapest newspapers also report the arrest of Kazmer Kallay, nephew of the former Hungarian Prime Minister. He is charged with smuggling Jews out of Hungary. Istvan Penzes, a prominent Hungarian, was also arrested on the charge that he helped Kallay. Penzes is the owner of a large estate, one part of which is on Hungarian soil and the other in Slovakia. The Jews are said to have crossed on his estate from Hungary to Slovakia.
The Budapest radio today announced that the Hungarian Minister of Interior has issued an order closing all shops of Jewish artisans who sell not only own products, but also articles produced by other artisans. The order goes into effect immediately, the broadcast said.
Addressing a public meeting, Laszlo Baky, secretary of the Ministry of Interior, warned the Hungarian people that they should not expect immediate distribution of confiscated Jewish property. "Jewish land and property." he said, "will be distributed only after the return of our fighters from the front , since they must be given preference."
The Hungarian Telegraphic Agency today reported that "political circles in Budapest" are incensed over the appeal made by the Archbishop of Canterbury in behalf of the Jews of Hungary. "The British Archbishop should first preach humanitarism in his own ranks and among the Allies rather than lament about a few hundred thousand Jews who have been interned because they are politically compromised," the Hungarian news agency adds.
The Hungarian newspaper Magyarszo reports that on July 11 tumultuous scenes took place in front of the pastoral offices in Budapest when thousands of Jews attempted to secure baptism. The rush was due to a rumor that any Jew baptised no later than July 11th would be exempt from the anti-Jewish laws.

I'm a little new to Noisebridge, and I still just don't understand how this works. Is Noisebridge organized by anyone? Who's in charge?

It seems like the place is totally open to anyone on a drop-in basis for free. But, who pays for the rent then?

I get the sense that the freeloading visitors are much more numerous than the paying members, but it's hard to tell what the ratio is.

I guess I'm just curious why people continue to put in what I would presume is a lot of money into a system that tends to benefit strangers.

Sounds like charity.

Thanks,

Cam

Last week, Pat Flynn (from Smart Passive Income) posted, in complete detail, the backlink strategy that pushed his niche site to a #1 ranking on Google. This epic post was very well received, as it immediately spread around the blogosphere and ignited a massive conversation (currently the post has more than 190 comments). It's not any kind of "magic bullet" backlink solution – it's a somewhat complex, highly effective strategy that can profoundly improve your site's search engine ranking if implemented correctly.
Although the strategy makes sense when you read it, I figured that it's probably difficult for many people to grasp the entire process as it pertains to their specific websites – in particular, I think a lot of people might struggle with finding a good way to track the process and backlinks that they create. I think I've designed a effective solution for this.
The Ultimate Backlink Tracker (v 1.0)
What I've done is taken Pat's backlinking process and converted it into a comprehensive Excel file where you can track the entire process. It's not some kind of crazy automated system – it's simply a well-organized (in my opinion) set of spreadsheets, pre-populated with each step of the process. And yes, it's free.
Here are the basic features of the backlink tracker:
1) The tracker is organized by tab, for each individual site – the entire tracking workbook currently supports 10 websites, however this will be expanded in the future (and you can certainly modify the workbook yourself if you have experience with Excel).
2) Simple navigation between sites and between the "anchor layers" of each site.
3) Support for the top article directories, Web 2.0 properties, and blogging platforms mentioned in Pat's backlink strategy. Each of these items supports 6 articles/blogs, which should be more than enough for a single website.
Key Benefits
- Allows you to correctly apply the principles of Pat's strategy by giving you a template to organize the process.
- Keeps you motivated to continue the process because you won't ever hit a point where you'll think, "I can't remember where I left off or what I still need to do!"
- The obvious benefit – helps you get to #1 on Google!
A Note About Updates
I expect to have future revisions of this tracker. As I use it more and get feedback from others, I will likely make revisions. In order to not be annoying about it, I'll try and only publish a revision when I've made significant changes (or a lot of small changes).
It will be up to you for whether you choose to use any revised versions – as of right now, the only way to switch to a revised version would be to copy and paste any data you've already input in your current copy. This probably won't be difficult, especially if you've only started recently, however I still want to point this out so that no one is angry later on.
Also, if I receive a lot of positive feedback about this tracker, I may hire an Excel programmer to build in some more advanced functionality into this Excel workbook. Hopefully I've done an adequate job as it is, but I'm not an expert programmer by any means.
Where to Download the Ultimate Backlink Tracker
I've decided that this tracker will be a "freebie" that I'll give away to those who subscribe to my free "Muse Creation" newsletter (sign up form can also be found below). If you sign up, you'll receive an e-mail with the link to download the Excel file.
Important Note: I really pride myself in having a valuable newsletter – I don't send e-mail too often (I have a handful of pre-written newsletters that go out weekly for the first month or so), and I rarely ever promote products. Much like Pat's newsletter (I highly recommend you subscribe to it if you haven't already), I'm really just looking to share valuable information.
Why create a list then if I'm hardly ever going to promote anything? I look at my list as a way to stay in touch with subscribers. Occasionally, I'll write an article here that I think you should read, and unless you check the blog regularly or subscribe to my RSS feed, you might not see it. My e-mail list is a great way to keep that line of communication open.
Also, I've had several people respond to my newsletters just to discuss a random topic mentioned in the newsletter, and it has led to other great discussions. For example, I've had the opportunity to grab a coffee and chat in person with a few different readers of My4HWW (who live around the Chicago area). Things like that really motivate me to continue writing new content and helping people whenever I can.
If you don't want to keep receiving the newsletter, you can simply unsubscribe after you receive the download link for the backlink tracker. No hard feelings here. (Just keep in mind that revisions to the tracker will most likely only be sent out to current subscribers.)
I will soon put up a dedicated page up for this tool, announcing any improvements or other developments related to it. If you decide to try it out, please give me your feedback! I want to make this tool as helpful as possible, and can only do it with your feedback!
Please share this post with others by clicking the Retweet button at the top of this post or the Facebook "Like" button at the bottom.
Also (if you haven't already), subscribe to the RSS feed so that you can have new posts delivered right to you. Thanks so much!

The UH-144 Falcon[5] is a troop transport tilt-and-transverse-rotor helicopter of the UNSC.[6][7][8]
Operational HistoryEdit
The Falcon first entered UNSC service in 2497. UNSC Army garrisons on inner colony worlds used it extensively as a good, economical replacement for the Pelicans.[3] From there, it has seen its fair use over the course of the Human-Covenant war as one of the UNSC Army's main air transport vehicles.[9][10] It was seen during the Battle of Fumirole, providing air support.[11] It was also commonly used by Noble Team in 2552, including their investigation of the Visegrád Relay, the First Battle of Sword Base, the Battle of Viery, the beginning of Operation: UPPER CUT, the Raid on New Alexandria, the Evacuation of New Alexandria, and the Second Battle of Sword Base[12] It was even used during the Battle of Mombasa on Earth, in the waning days of the Human-Covenant war.[13]
It is still in use by the UNSC Army in 2557.[9]
Design DetailsEdit
Two Falcons can transport a fully-equipped fireteam faster than any other previous system, and provide overwhelming fire support in most weather conditions. The aircraft's crew consists of one pilot, two crewmen who may serve as door gunners, and three passengers. However, in multiplayer, there is only room for the pilot and gunners.[14]
There are two versions of the Falcon. Both have a chin-mounted autocannon, but the UH-144A has two side-mounted grenade launchers[15] while the UH-144S instead has two side-mounted machine guns.[16]
Known FalconsEdit
- When piloting the Falcon, remember to face one side of the Falcon towards attacking Banshees, allowing an ally to open fire on them.
- Coordinate with gunners to keep the nose pointed directly at an enemy and focus each weapon's fire on a single target.
- The Falcon's side-mounted machine guns are extremely short-ranged, so keep your gunners in range of the targets.
- The Falcon can drop faster than it can strafe. When an enemy projectile such as a rocket is incoming, it is more effective to dodge it by dropping the Falcon's altitude rather than strafing.
- The Falcon used in the level Tip of the Spear is equipped with semi-automatic grenade launchers which can produce an EMP effect when the trigger is held down, then released to manually detonate the grenade. This EMP can shut down enemy vehicles.
- The Falcon in the level New Alexandria is equipped with a pilot controlled chin-mounted chaingun that has a larger field of fire, is more accurate, and is more powerful than the side-mounted machine guns.
- Keep moving to avoid being skyjacked by players with the Jetpack.
- The cockpit area is much more vulnerable to damage than the rest of the Falcon. A single sniper rifle or Plasma Launcher round is capable of destroying a Falcon.
- Players riding the Falcon have increased motion sensor range and detect all other players regardless of movement or camouflage.
- Plasma Pistol and Grenade Launcher EMP effects completely disable the Falcon's engines, leaving it vulnerable to skyjacking or fatal crashing.
- While the Falcon can be used to insert players near objectives, it cannot be used to transport players carrying objective items such as flags or bombs. However, those players can still stand on top of the Falcon and "ride" it.
- The Falcon can be used to insert snipers to otherwise inaccessible perches.
- Attempts to splatter an enemy can easily result in a skyjacking.
- In Invasion on Spire, collect the core carrier from the top of the Spire by letting them jump on top of the Falcon, then slowly descend towards the Pelican and allow the player with the core to jump off.
- If you have a Banshee, try to aim the fuel rod cannon at the Falcon's cockpit. This will kill the pilot without damaging the Falcon, sometimes allowing your team to take it over.
- In the military system of aircraft designation, the letter "U" stands for utility, and the letter "H" stands for helicopter. This would make the Falcon the Utility Helicopter Model 144.
- The Halo: Reach Limited and Legendary editions include a Falcon avatar prop.
- In Halo: Reach, if a player jumps on top of a rotor hub, he/she cannot be killed by the Falcon's rotors. However, if he/she touches the rotor hub, he/she will be killed instantly.
- In Halo: Reach, the windshield of AI-controlled Falcons is solid gray instead of glass, meaning the pilot cannot actually see through them. The same applies with the Pelican.
- In the Halo: Reach level Winter Contingency, a glitch allows Noble Team's Falcon to be piloted by Noble Six if it is shot down by a plasma pistol and flipped over.
- When firing the grenade launchers mounted on the Falcon, when using the alternate fire mode, the screen reads "ready," then changes to "linked." When the alternate fire button is released and the linked grenade is detonated, the screen readout changes to "boom!"
- Falcons appeared in pre-release campaign screenshots from Halo 4, but were cut from the final game.[17]

According to a 2007 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report, 26 percent of the 1.2 million employees who suffered workplace injuries and required time off spent 31 days or more away from work. If you are injured on the job and can't get back to work within a week or so, Workers Compensation will reimburse you for some of your lost wages. Unfortunately, those benefits do not kick in, in some states, for 2-3 weeks. Here are some things you can do to cover bills while waiting for Workers Compensation benefits to arrive.
Paying Bills When You Are Off Work for Injury
Create an emergency fund before you ever get injured. Perhaps it seems impossible, but putting $10-20 a week in a money market savings account, which pays a higher rate of interest than the standard savings account, can add up and provide enough to tide you over, even for a short period of time.
Check with your Human Resources administrator to see if you are eligible to take out a hardship loan on your retirement account (401k). Most plans will allow 401k loans for college, buying a house and medical needs. Many plans now have account access online, so the process may be as simple as filling out a request form on the website, and possibly having the funds directly deposited into your savings or checking account.
Consider purchasing accident insurance through a company such as Aflac (link in Resource section). Policies vary from state to state, but this can provide a cushion in the event that you are injured and can't return to work immediately. Aflac typically pays out on claims within 3-4 days, and can help cover the cost of rent, utilities and other necessities.
Call your creditors, mortgage and car loan lenders, as soon as possible to make payment arrangements. Explain your situation and let them know that you want to avoid late fees and penalties on your credit. Don't promise a specific date when the bills will be paid in full, since you don't know when the Workers Compensation benefits will arrive, nor how much they will be. Simply ask creditors to work with you during this rough spot. Get the name, address and department of the person you have spoken with so that you can follow up with a letter.
Seek help through programs in your area, such as Community Action. Call your local Department of Human Services to inquire about what help may be available in your area. While these programs probably can't help you pay car or mortgage payments, they can assist with paying for heat and other utilities.
Consider selling some items online, through sites such as eBay or Craigslist. The income is not necessarily instant, but it can help you to build up cash so that you can get back on track more quickly.
Tips & Warnings
- Don't be afraid to ask for help. Your lenders and creditors appreciate communication much more than unexplained late payments and ignored telephone calls.
- Avoid payday loans if at all possible. These types of loans can end up making things worse because they tend to create an unbreakable cycle.
