Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index shows slight gain in April
May 14, 2012
The most recent edition of the Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index (PCI) showed a 0.1 percent gain in April, marking the sixth monthly increase in the last six months.
The PCI, according to Ceridian and UCLA, is based on an analysis of real-time diesel fuel consumption data from over-the-road trucking and is tracked by Ceridian, a provider of electronic and stored value card payment services. The PCI data is accumulated by analyzing Ceridian's electronic card payment data that captures the location and volume of diesel fuel being purchased by trucking companies. It is based on real-time diesel fuel purchases using a Ceridian card by over the road truckers at more than 7,000 locations across the United States.
April's 0.1 percent increase was preceded by gains of 0.3 percent and 0.7 percent in March and February, respectively. Even though these three months show cumulative growth, it is down compared to the previous three months—December, January, and February—by 1.2 percent at an annualized rate, the report noted. And that January-March period was down 4.9 percent compared to the previous three month period of October-December at a 4.9 percent annualized rate.
"The [PCI] continues to be soft," said Ed Leamer, chief economist for the Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index and Director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast. "It suggests that the growth in the components of the economy that depends upon trucking is not strong."
Following the recessionary period of 2008-2009, Leamer said there was strong growth in trucking, which was driven by inventory rebuilding, but it then subsequently flattened out to a large degree during the summer of 2010. And since that time, he explained, trucking in general has had a difficult time regaining its previous traction.
This is exemplified to a degree with relatively flat truck tonnage volumes being reported by the American Trucking Associations and various truckload and less-than-truckload carriers in recent months.
Looking ahead to the middle of the year, Leamer said that the PCI could show more material gains should housing market activity pick up in a meaningful way.
"There is a lot of trucking activity involved in the housing industry, so there ought to be some improvements there," he said.
And the impact of higher energy costs in the form of diesel prices, while it has slowed down somewhat in recent weeks, requires truckers to use more diesel to move freight the same distance as they previously did. This, he said, reduces the amount of freight truckers can move from point A to point B, because consumers are spending less overall.
Even with decent job growth in the last year and improving retail sales, too, Leamer said these things speak directly to the point that there are several economic indices that are faring better than trucking-related ones on an annual basis, more so than annually.
"Trucking represents a very mixed group of economic activity, including housing," he said. "All the components of GDP are basically where they previously were, except for housing which is down 35 percent. If housing comes back more, more trucking activity will follow."

It's written in the Bible that God is Unfathomable, i.e., that we cannot have, by means of research, access to Him within all the size of His dimensions; even when the Planet Earth itself and all its energetical resources would be utilized as a space-ship to spend billions and billions years to search through the Universe, never we won't reach Him.
In fact, this unfathomability and this immeasurable greatness of God, have Him be, excellencilly telling, the Supreme Spiritual Being, the most "Nowhere to be found", the most Invisible in the Universe. Again, some things related to Him which knowledge is over all not useful, necessary even salvatory for us for the time being, remain as hidden like Him.
It is why, the book of Deuteronomy 29:29 mentioned that "The secret [hidden] things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children for ever (...)". The hidden things that, perhaps, could be necessary, but that have not the priority of the Salvation value, are entirely reserved for Him. He reserves for Himself the Absolute Right to be alone to possess the keys of these things as the Absolute Master and Supreme Creator of everything that exists in the Universe.
Nevertheless, Himself, although He is Unfathomable, when we search Him with a sincere heart, and that He really know it so, He can, according to His willing, let Himself found.
If willy, He sometimes has Himself found by he who searches Him sincerely with or for a pure motive; it's obvious that we can no more doubt of the firm order He gave by Himself to us in the book of Matthew 7:7 as followed: "(…) seek and you will find (…) For everyone (…) who seeks finds (…)". Obviously, we can find Him although He's an Invisible Spirit.
There's something prior to scientific research. This precondition, is that the profession or ministry of researcher supposes the existence of a "Hider", the Everlasting God Himself, for it's written that He was in the beginning "In the beginning God …"; and that His Glory resides in discretion: "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter (…)", Proverbs 25:2a. It's then in the beginning that He'd hidden these things that, most of them, represent for us mines, treasures within the whole Universe. Knowing our creatural limits, He'd known in His pre-science until to where our resources can permit us to accede. And there where can reach our space probes; He gives us permission to sound the areas out as much as possible. It's our own glory as His wise images to go through research and sound these hidden things: "to search out a matter is the glory of kings", Proverbs 25:2b.
However, He also knows that there are some places where, even with his most sophisticated machines, never human kind can reach. Human being could reach there but by another means: transcendental meditation [astral voyage], may be, through which human kind goes out of his body without God's Agreement; and accedes to these places in spirit as demons and their master Satan do. At this stage of researches, if effectively, he's a natural researcher but not an agent or instrument of Satan, human being falls in the forbidden and gives himself up to everlasting damn.
There's a researcher because there was a "Hider", the Everlasting God Himself. There's a researcher because order was given by the Creator whose Work of Creation consisted in hiding some treasures of Salvation worth (remedies, lights, energies, waves, life, "trapped" in the body, etc.) within all creatures that researcher must discover for the well-fair of everyone.
As a car, humane creature or invention, that are plenty of metal spare parts from varied sources and nature, hidden here and there; the Universe about what the Bible the book of creation talks, includes diversities and diversities per thousands. All among of them that are accessible to us, God gave His Authorization to search within and to make them useful to us for our well-being. Thus, researcher that resembles a ridiculous profession because one can easily looks like he who raves or roams over all when one found not after he searched, becomes the occupation among the noble, one of the noblest. It's what explains the fact that the most respected social class of our modern society, composed of all the Teachers and Researchers [Lecturers] of Universities, is the one to which this delicately difficult and noble task is assigned.

Yep. Microsoft did some changes: http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-introduces-outlook-com-hotmails-planned-successor-7000001888/
Yesterday, I installed Windows Live Photo Gallery on my laptop running XP, IE8. I unselected ALL Live options (essentials, etc) and only chose Live Photo Gallery to install. Since then (no matter WHAT pc I log in to), My LIVE email kind of looks like email -- but functions differentl (in a bad way) and says OUTLOOK at the top instead of LIVE MAIL. I went into IE Tools, default email program and changed it to Live, rebooted, and it still gets overridden. Suggestions? Having lots and lots of troubling accessing my mail box (don't know Outlook). What's really weird is that it's EVERY PC when I login to LIVE, so although it started after I installed Photo Gallery, it's not connected to it? Thanks

Benjamin later married Josephine Adams. She was born 3 May 1871 and died 21 February 1961. Benjamin and Josephine had a son, Benjamin Franklin Vinson, Jr. (1908-1991).
Benjamin, Sr. and his family can be found in Houston County, Georgia during the years of 1850, 1860, and 1870. In 1900, they are in Bibb County, Georgia.
Benjamin's occupation was listed as farm laborer. He was a leading planter in the Rutland District; Bibb County, Georgia.
Benjamin Franklin Vinson enlisted in the War Between the States at 17 and was active in the battles of Atlanta, Griswoldville (where he was wounded in the ear), and others around Macon. He was in Company G, 8th Regiment, Georgia Militia.
Benjamin, Jane Elizabeth, and Josephine are all buried in the Liberty United Methodist Church Cemetery; Bibb County, Georgia. Benjamin's gravestone reads as follows:

Today is the last official day of the IBM Sametime 9 Beta Program. A few minutes ago the program community in Greenhouse reverted to "Restricted". Now it's only visible to the 519 community members and we are no longer accepting applications for membership.
Today IBM Sametime 9 is running in pilot mode in Greenhouse. The current build is pretty close to the GA candidate. Audio and video are enabled and so are Broadcast Communities and Persistent Chat Rooms. Meetings with audio and video support are also enabled.
The plan is to enable all features, stabilize and harden the pilot environment and then move it to production. Right now only beta testers have access to it and we expect to make it available to the greater Greenhouse population soon.
I want to thank our beta testers, especially our on-premises beta testers for their participation and their feedback. We've learned a lot from this experience and we'll make sure to use this newly acquired knowledge to do it better next time.
I also want to thank those folks who sent out late applications for membership. Unfortunately we won't be able to process them as the program is now closed. But despair not, my friends, for Sametime 9 will be available to all Greenhouse members soon. Just keep an eye on this space for the latest news.

Look Angle Calculator
for G28 and T11N
Where's the Satellite? Satellite antenna pointing can be frustrating; can your installer or service technician point the dish in alignment with pretty good precision? What kind of look angle calculator will you be using?
The best precision is obtained with the iDirect iSite Antenna Pointing tool, which your installer or service technician can download from the DishPointer website.
You can use the satellite Internet dish alignment dishpointers below to get an idea for your line of sight, but they cannot substitute for antenna pointing software.
Each look angle calculator has the following limitations:
- They are designed to be used for orienting a TV satellite dish, which requires far less precision than a satellite broadband Internet connection. (TV dishes only receive. Internet dishes need to send data to a satellite 23,000 miles away. And a one degree error translates to 457 miles off target. Your email is going to outer space, not Chicago.)
- They use True Azimuth. You want Magnetic Azimuth.
- The LNB skew (or polarization) is 90 degrees off for G28. DishPointer specifies horizontal polarization, which is acceptable for T11N, but not for G28. Skycasters uses vertical polarization for G28. To get vertical polarization, subtract 90 degrees from a positive DishPointer skew number, and add 90 degrees for a negative DishPointer skew number.
To use the DishPointer calculator, highlight "1520 S Arlington St, Akron" in the field at the top, and replace it with the site's exact address, or latitude and longitude (GPS location). Then hit enter. If you don't have a GPS device, but you do have web access, use Google maps, locate the site, right click and select "What's Here?", and the latitude and longitude will appear in the Google search string field.
The green line points from your location to the point where the geostationary satellites are above the equator. This is particularly useful for identifying potential line-of-sight issues. If the line is red, the software is saying, "You can't see the satellite from that site." Check your numbers, and try again.

One would hope that "Spider-Man" stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone have "Amazing" chemistry, considering the two started dating after meeting each other on the set of Sony's forthcoming superhero reboot. If the two are to be believed, that chemistry came to them very quickly, as early as Stone's first screen test for the role of Peter Parker's first girlfriend, Gwen Stacy.
"I went and did a screen test that was very elaborate," Stone recalled during a recent interview with MTV News. "It was full hair and makeup and with the [director of photography] and different angles, and Andrew was there. We read a couple of scenes together. We did that scene at Oscorp — 'Why are you here?' — and a sad one."
From there, the easygoing dynamic between Garfield and Stone came almost instantly, both on and off the set.
"We got on really well as people, in between [takes]," Garfield remembered. "That was the fun stuff: In between, we'd just mess around, and I felt, 'Ah, this is different.' I wasn't really aware what was happening in the screen test. She keeps you on your toes, and that wakes you up. That was the beginning.
"Obviously I was so happy that she got the role and decided to do it," he continued. "Those are the days I'd look forward to, you know? For Peter as well, because Peter goes through some horrible stuff in the movie. There's some joy to be had when experiencing his first love."
Much has been made about Garfield and Stone's relationship both in the film and outside of it, but the first MTV Trailblazer winner believes that screen tests are a crucial element not just for establishing a movie's romantic leads, but any other numbers of relationships within a given fictional universe.
"That has to do also with people playing your parents or friends, with anything," she said. "You can sense it. It's like life: You can sense if you guys have a kind of chemistry or rapport right away, no matter what the relationship is, whether it's a love interest or not."

At least three brokerages downgraded Zynga's (ZNGA) stock on Wednesday after the company warned of a slowdown in bookings in their fourth quarter earnings report. It was the Farmville, Words with Friends and Cityville game owners' first quarter as a publicly traded company.
"Zynga uses bookings as a metric to measure the cash it gets upfront when people spend money on virtual items in its games such as tractors, houses or poker chips," explains Reuters. The slowdown indicated players might be paying less than expected on the gaming site.
The bookings are important for investors because Zynga does not disclose the number of its unique players on Facebook, "making it difficult to gauge any possible deceleration trends."
Analysts expect the company is entering periods of slower sequential growth, a bad sign for a new company. This can be seen, argues Business Insider, through Zynga's aggressive spending on advertising and marketing budgets that are increasing much faster than revenue.
"Sequential quarterly sales growth at the company was just 1% in Q4. Meanwhile, the sales/marketing dollars Zynga spent to get that growth went from 14% of sales to 36% of sales in a single quarter."
Most importantly, Zynga is considered a bit of a bellwether for the success of Facebook's IPO, scheduled for sometime in May. After all, Zynga gets most of its revenue from Facebook, although it is working to diversify and make more money on other media platforms like tablets and smart phones.
Still, some analysts think Zynga and Facebook have ways of continuing their momentum: "While growth has slowed for both Facebook and Zynga, long-term secular shifts in content consumption, along with significant growth opportunities on smart devices from Apple and Google are too compelling to ignore," wrote Robert W. Baird & Co when the firm downgraded the stock. (via Reuters)
Zynga's, Chief Operating Officer John Schapper also pointed out that the games are meant to be played, gain popularity, and make money over the long run. "That's why we still have the six-most played games on Facebook."

July 24, 1999
BERKELEY - Contrary to recent newspaper reports, Cal men's basketball coach Ben Braun confirmed he is not a candidate for the position at the University of Minnesota.
When reached for comment Saturday morning about his being allegedly contacted by Minnesota regarding its head men's basketball coaching position, Braun said: "I am not and have never been a candidate for the Minnesota job. I have not had any contact with officials from the University of Minnesota. Any reports to the contrary are untrue."
Braun recently completed his third season with the Golden Bears. After leading Cal to the Sweet 16 of the 1997 NCAA Tournament, he guided the team to the NIT championship this past March. During his tenure with the Bears, Braun has compiled a 57-35 record.

We have known for some time how effective internet video can be. Now, CBS is in agreement. Gone are the days where the broadcast giants feared online video, worrying that viewers would dump traditional network TV viewing in favor of the computer screen. Instead, CBS has learned that putting their videos online actually drives television consumption.
In this interview, courtesy of Beet.TV, Jim Lanzone, president of CBS Interactive, says "Internet video is finally working.â€
I can't help but think that internet video is finally working for CBS because of greater broadband availability. Think about it. Did anyone truly enjoy the quality of those early internet videos after waiting an eternity for them to download? Internet video consumers are an impatient bunch. If we don't see our video within 5 seconds (or less) of clicking 'play,' we're gone. Do you really want to see internet video succeed? Get reliable 10 Megabit or higher data service to mobile devices, then you'll see it take off.
On a related note, Cisco recently released their Visual Networking Index (VNI), an ongoing initiative to track and forecast the impact of video on the internet. Cisco says average broadband speeds, currently around 7 Megabits, will grow to an average of 28 Megabits by 2015. Data traffic in the mobile space will increase 26 times between 2010 and 2015, and what may be more relevant is that mobile data traffic will grow 3 times faster than fixed IP internet traffic in that same period.
Cisco sites four primary elements currently driving IP traffic growth: more devices; more Internet users; faster broadband speeds; and greater video consumption. By the end of the year there will be more networked devices than people on earth and by 2015, there will be twice as many networked devices than the people. Video data traffic, already the largest single component of internet traffic, will account for over 50% of total internet traffic by the end of 2012, and increase to 62% of all traffic by the end of 2015.
So, as video consumption on the internet continues to climb, the picture seems pretty clear to me: A fast and reliable broadband data connection is the new oil. Without it, video cannot grow.

Want A 9-pin Adapter For Your iPhone 5? Talk To Apple
The notion of a new dock connector in the iPhone 5 isn't a new one. TechCrunch kicked off the second iPhone rumor season just after this year's WWDC by "Confirming" Apple would replace the familiar yet antiquated 30-pin connector with a newer, 19-pin variety.
Following rumors would whittle this number down to a 9-pin connector.
The reaction to this news was inevitable: iPhone users mournfully put on their favorite James Taylor album and gathered every 30-pin connector they've ever accumulated, twisting them between their fingers as they reminisced about the good times of iPhones and iPods of yesteryear.
How could Apple release a product which would render these old, dirty cords and docks unusable? If these iPhone customers were sad then, they'll likely be infuriated now.
According to sources speaking with iLounge, Apple hasn't yet shared these new dock connector plans with any third-party developers, meaning you likely won't see any crisp, new iPhone accessories under your Christmas tree this year, that is, unless they come from Apple themselves.
I know, it's tough to hear.
Last week, iLounge claimed that their sources have told them that no accessory makers have any components or engineering details about these new connectors.
Today, iLounge takes these claims one step further, saying their sources have heard Apple plans to take complete control over the new dock connectors and adapters. According to this new development, Apple plans to sell these 9-pin dock connector adapters at $10 a pop. Those value minded customers can pick up a pack of 3 for only $29, a $1 savings. New Apple branded USB cables will also sell for $19 each. These prices are consistent with Apple's MagSafe to MagSafe 2 adapter, another accessory that only Apple has the right to sell.
Sources have also told iLounge that Apple has stopped approving any third-party proposals for any accessories which utilize dock connector, be it 30- or 9-pin.
If this rumor pans out, Apple stands to make quite a bit of money. Some quick, dashboard calculator math shows Apple could earn a revenue of $100 million for every 10 million connectors they sell at $10. (By the way, Gene Munster has said today he expects Apple to sell these 10 million iPhones in the first week alone.)
I have to wonder why anyone is surprised or even upset by this?
Apple has a long track record of removing technologies or other features of their products if they feel the end result is a better experience. And yes, even if the only benefit is a thinner device, (though I'm sure there's more to look forward to) a thinner device is a huge deal to Apple.
Apple also loves control, and this move ensures they have complete and total say in what's being plugged into their latest devices. Whether or not there's a good, technological reason for limiting the amount of accessories, Apple will always prefer total control. Furthermore, they aren't the only company to insist customers buy their branded accessories for their products. Sony's Memory Sticks spring immediately to mind.
Finally, this is Apple's prerogative. They tried a similar move with the bumpers in 2010. When the iPhone 4 was first announced, Apple was ready with their own accessory, made to protect the phone without destroying the design aesthetic of the thing. They could have earned a mint on those pieces of silicon, too, if it weren't for that pesky antenna-gate.
Me? I'll probably pick up a value pack of adapters. I can think of maybe 2 accessories I use that I'll need an adapter for.
At the end of the day, we not only buy a phone, we buy into an ecosystem, and this is just one of the rules of Apple's playground.
I'll be out $30, a small price to pay to ensure that I can still use my few accessories with Apple's latest and greatest.
And honestly, any third-party accessory maker had to have seen this coming. Getting upset about this change is just like crawling into bed with a Tiger and then getting upset when it attacks you.
Besides, I suspect that, no matter how much fuss people put up in the days leading up to the 12th about this change, they'll still buy as many adapters as they need.
In other words, no one is going to decide to go Android or Windows Phone because Apple is charging $10 for an adapter.

JERUSALEM – Israel's prime minister says he will erect a fortified fence on the border with Syria to protect against radical Islamist forces that he claims have taken over the area.
Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel needs a barrier like a new Egyptian border fence that he says has stemmed the flow of African migrants. He said the Syrian regime was "unstable" and Israel was concerned about the country's chemical weapons. He told his Cabinet Sunday that across the frontier "the Syrian army has moved away, and in its place, Global Jihad forces have moved in."

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — The chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court says he's seen enough medical marijuana cases.
Robert Young Jr. tells The Grand Rapids Press (http://bit.ly/1rzVyG7 ) that the law approved by voters in 2008 is "no model of clarity." He says, "It's a mess."
Young sums it up this way: "I'm so sick of medical marijuana cases."
He spoke to the newspaper Tuesday while in Grand Rapids for a judicial conference. Young says supporters of medical marijuana took parts of laws from other states when they drafted the Michigan ballot proposal.
Since the law's passage, the Supreme Court has interpreted it many times. The court says pot shops are prohibited. It also says local governments can't stop people from properly using medical marijuana.

Herkimer Pub: Achtung, Beer Drinkers!
These are interesting times at Uptown's Herkimer brewpub. Its owner, Blake Richardson, is preparing to open a Japanese street food restaurant called Moto-i in the old Machu Picchu space on Lyndale Avenue. Meanwhile, there's beer to be brewed. That's where the pub's newly appointed brewmaster, Gustavo de Toledo Vale, comes in.
Until a few years ago, the Brazilian-born de Toledo Vale was working a steady job at the Wall Street Journal in New York, brewing beer at home whenever he got the chance. The newspaper job made him miserable.
"I'd been sitting in front of a computer for 10 years, laying out pages," de Toledo Vale says. "I just got really bored, doing financial page after financial page, and I wondered: 'When am I supposed to have fun?'"
Wanderlust and a love of good brew brought de Toledo Vale and his wife to Germany, where he took a six-month brewing course in Berlin at the VLB (Versuchs und Lehranstalt fur Brauerei). Later, a demanding apprenticeship at the famed Paulaner Brewery's Brauhaus (brewpub) in Munich prepped him for the jump to the Herkimer. Now he brews German-style beers for American drinkers.
"[Paulaner] wasn't that different from here. That's probably why they chose me for this job, because it was pretty much what I was doing in Germany," he says. "But at Paulaner, we only brewed three beers at a time. There were always two beers on tap and one special. Here I have six different beers on tap. I'm juggling three or four microorganisms to brew the beer, and in that respect it's a lot harder."
De Toledo Vale contrasts a more rigid German style of brewing with the American approach.
"The Germans are very regional about their beers," he says. "The guys at Paulaner were discussing when is beer not beer anymore. I was trying to give some smart idea and they said: 'Wrong. If it's not Bavarian, it's not beer.'"
"The tradition means something," he adds. "Before I went to Germany, I was like all the home brewers: I liked to make pale ales, and my favorite beer was an IPA [India pale ale]—really hoppy stuff. When I got there, I got a new appreciation for the white lagers and the pilsners."
De Toledo Vale is the man behind a new brew at Herkimer, the Gose Speziell Weiss. A slightly salty, semi-sour, coriander-laced wheat beer that recalls a Belgian wit, it's thirst-quenching without being dull. For the brewmaster, it's a chance to spread his wings at a job that focuses exclusively on German beers. "The Gose...is really different, and it's tricky to make. You have to add lactobacillus as well as the yeast. So, believe me, I'm not bored."
De Toledo Vale hopes to open his own brewpub one day but is characteristically modest about whether the career is a special calling.
"I'd like to tell you there was some great epiphany that I had, but...you know, I just like beer, I like brewing. And frankly," he adds, "I like to see people getting hammered on something I made. It's really entertaining."

Glazed Ham in a Bag2
Many of you have commented about making a large amount of meat in the slow cooker, then using this meat for several recipes throughout the week.
We recently found a recipe that we think is great for this type of meal planning! This recipe requires very little prep, but results in a great tasting ham that which you can use in a variety of recipes. Or, you can just eat it with some of the additional juices spooned on top.
Glazed Ham in a Bag
Fix-It and Forget-It 5-ingredient Favorites, page 141
Makes 12 servings
Prep. Time: 7 minutes
Cooking Time: 6-8 hours
Ideal slow cooker size: 6- to 7- qt.
5-lb cooked ham
3 Tbsp. orange juice
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

2. Combine orange juice and mustard. Spread over ham.
3. Seal bag with a twist tie. Poke 4 holes in top of bag. Place in slow cooker.
4. Cover. Cook on Low 6-8 hours.
5. To serve, remove ham from bag, reserving juices. Slice ham and spoon juices over. Serve additional juice alongside in small bowl.

What Consumer Comeback? Personal Spending Disappoints For Two Out Of Three Months In Q2
When "justifying" the abysmal Q1 GDP print, one after another economist has scrambled to explain that this number is irrelevant, due to a spending halt during the "harsh winter", following which the US consumer has been spending like mad in Q2, and the PCE, which in Q1 was an abysmal 1.0%, and the worst since 2009, is set for a major rebound. Well, guess what: after last month's huge miss (originally -0.1% now revised to 0.0%, on expectations of a 0.2% rise), the month of May - the second month of Q2 - just showed that US consumer still refuses to spend. In fact, while personal income came in line with expectations in the month of May, rising 0.4%, same as expected, and disposable income in current dollars rising by $56 billion to $12,877 billion, it was spending which missed for the second month in a row and the 4th miss in the past 6 months rising only 0.2%, half the expected 0.4%! This was the fourth spending miss in the past six months.
In fact, what's worse is that while overall spending on PCE was a weakish $18.3 billion, the personal spending on all important services was a paltry $4.1 billion: essentially tied for the lowest since November. Hardly the stuff magic unicorn numbers such as those presented by Markit (how are those post-IPO shares trading anyway?) yesterday would like us to believe.
The breakdown of income and spending in the long-term:
It gets worse. As Bloomberg economist Joseph Brusuelas explains, while inflation-adjusted spending is increasing at 2.4% 3-month annualized pace, May run rate "likely exaggerates" consumer's true condition, direction of real spending, says Bloomberg economist Given probability of further increases in food, gasoline prices in June, spending run-rate likely to "soften noticeably." Brusuelas adds that 2Q weakness may spill into 3Q, "further damping prospects for a breakout year in growth."
Translation: it's bad.
And, of course, the reason for it all, is precisely what we said would lead to a spending halt back in April: the collapse in the savings rate to the lowest since Lehman. We warned that as consumers scramble to rebuild their savings, they will spend far less, something further driven, no pun intended, by surging energy and food costs. To wit:
"since spending was so much higher than income for one more month, at least according to the bean counters, the savings rate tumbled and at 3.8% (down from 4.2% in February), was the second lowest since before the Lehman failure with the only exception of January 2013 after the withholding tax rule changeover. So for all those sellside economists who are praying that the March spending spree, funded mostly from savings, will continue into Q2 (because remember March is in Q1, which as we already know had an abysmal 0.1% GDP growth rate), we have one question: where will the money come from to pay for this ongoing spending spree?"
Conveniently, the BEA decided to revise its personal saving rate series, but what it shows is clear - precisely as we predicted it would, the savings rate has been rising steadily since March, when it posted a tiny 4.2%, and is now back to 4.8%, which however is still unchanged from a year ago, and hardly the base that will propel US consumers into the dire spending spree the economy needs in the month of June, the last one of Q2, to hit the magical 4% GDP forecast.
Expect the downward sellside Q2 GDP forecast revisions to begin momentarily.

Strange.....cause 29.5 hr/wk jobs pay so well.
I've got the new Obamacare.....but with the $4500 deductible....there's no way I can afford to go the doctor. The kicker is I didn't even bother to pay for it.
Our family deductible is $5600, and, on top of that we still pay thousands each month for "insurance". Our annual costs are over $15000 a year for NOTHING. We don't go to the doctor. Why have insurance at all. Just put all the insurance payments into a savings account, and if you get sick and die, at least the kids can have it.
bbut ... the sheep thought ObamaScare was free !
BBUT...it is free for many of the Obama supporters.
Just not the working stiff trying to pay his bills and get his kids educated. There used to be an escape velocity a person could achieve through education, hard work or just plain luck, that would allow them to escape poverty. It seems big government has also created a much higher gravity force, making that escape velocity much, much greater, such that only the top .1% even have a chance of reaching.
Why am I spending $15000 a year to buy someone else their health care?
Oh, wait, right, Lobbyists and private jets for the insurers. Well, it's money well spent, I'm sure. any spending is still spending, and that's the grease that gets the economy rolling. FORWARD!
It's less about the hours and more about making less than 26-33k/year (as well as the elimination of benefits, which eats at spending for consumers).
I thought inflation was good? LOLOLOLOL
I hope the market crashes soon and layoffs happen again. I need a vacation and look forward to laughing in the face of all of these Wall St apologists who defend the fraudsters.
I don't hope for anything and prepare for the worst. Every paycheck is a blessing at this point, clearly the deck slowly after a nine month layoff. It is a crazy environment out here.
I have no aspirations of retirement or retirement savings. Just plowing through things and being debt free.
All this enabled by the corrupt incompetent narcissistic illegal alien muslim sociopathic liar in chief so it can live its celebrity grand imperial golf style. Anyone who thinks its doing a good job is dumber than a box of dried politician turds.
sandbagging going on.....so they can ramp it up just prior to the election.
If things don't pick up, I would expect to see a tax cut just prior to the election. Maybe cut the soc sec tax in half again.
Obama raised taxes going into an election (by rolling back the payroll tax cut). Real estate taxes have also gone up across many states.
They need moar money, and it doesn't matter who the president is.
just wait....
you guys think the last downward surge directly before the election (to get the Unempl rate below 8%) was coincidence? i probably dont trust BLS etc as much as you do.
btw. i think the economy stinks, too. numbers are not good. but still, these numbers today will be ancient history to voters in November.
The FSA wsnts MOAR of your money!
........('(...´...´.... ¯~/'...')
..........''...\.......... _.·´
Spend what?
ObamacashTM silly!
What is this fascination with economic numbers we don't believe are truthful to begin with?
Our false pride and alter-egos demand means of self-justification for narcissistic self congratulations and reinforcement of the multiple illusions of individual superiority
Rather similar to the persistent illusions of past, present and future
Here we go CORE-WRECK-SHUN, CIT-EEE CORE-WRECK-SHUN! Yea team!
I did my spending by buying a Colt 6920 and a big ass safe last weekend at the gun show in Texas. Forward America!!!
If you add in all the blow and whores AND illegal immigrant spending, you get the real number. Which will be out soon! BTFD!
"We warned that as consumers scramble to rebuild their savings, they will spend far less.."
Fuck you. I can't rebuild my savings. I'm doing all I can to maintain the current savings.
What's savings?
I don't know many who save anything. I wonder if this "savings" statistic includes everyone's credit limit on their Visa card that has not been exceeded yet. I have one card with a $25k limit that I haven't even got close to yet. I be rich!
Devaluation is a bitch, isn't it?
You'll never pull ahead.
It was never intended to work that way.
So sorry.
"Harsh winter" what total bullshit! Well get ready, winter will be back in about 4-5 months.
Then what? Blame "it" on a hot summer.
F-ing morons.
in China, the country's chief auditor found $15.2 billion in loans had been backed by falsified gold transactions, the first official confirmation of illegal activity that has been suspected for years. As Heather Timmons wrote on the issue in Quartz earlier this month, the discovery of wrongdoing could "create a ripple effect of credit squeezes and defaults" in the country.
Good lord....who are they talking about."
The 1% must be cutting back or out of country
They can't track unemployment...how the hell do they track savers in any meaningful way.
Prices are up, wages are flat, most have saved nothing meaningful for retirement, and at least 20% have no one in the family working.
Anyone who does have savings is getting less than the cost of inflation and are forced to ponder putting into the casino called the free markets
Let's see those charts!
Oops sorry...just realized boobburg was combined with the word economist as the source
You mean people spend less during periods of high economic uncertainty, such as whether or not they will have a job in 6 months, and what the cost of food and utilities will be in 6 months? People start saving their money in preparation? Shocking.
personal spending is not that much different than the stock market. When facing the top and almost certain collapse, what else is there to do but run up the credit cards prior to default?
If I could time the big crash, I would go out, get as many credit cards as I can and max them out on useful shit. Fuck the bankers.
Spend more for less - new american slogan
"Expect the downward sellside Q2 GDP forecast revisions to begin momentarily."
Imagine for a moment, what would be ZHer's stance if we were absolutely sure the USA were sitting on (or close to it) a technology that would make fossil fuels obsolete as an energy source? How would that play into the export of energy vs. the USD reserve currency? With ultra cheap energy, oil and gas wouldn't even be required for petrochemical feedstocks. The "POISONOUS" CO2 contains all of the carbon needed, hide and watch graphene take off, for just one example.
I believe it's close to happening, needs a trigger to set it off, but as of now the elites are using the whole scenario to fleece the flock. Do I believe this tale enough to put money on it? No, not a lot of loot, but I do think that there are things in the works that we have no idea as to how they even work. I didn't think this 5 years ago, but I do now and it will shake the world system into a new economic dynamic. A lot of elites will have to move over for the new Big Dogs on the block. The computer age is only a microcosm of changes to come, IMO.
This forum is filled with bright souls, so let "what if" come in for a short while and expound.
Homework assignment for you: Research "The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics" and then get back to me on this wonderous and previously unimagined energy source. But, hey, why always be a skeptic. Care to expand (i.e. provide any actual details) on this new technology.
Cobalt-ferrous ceramics used to break down CO2 are being developed at Sandia National Labs. Once you have that, you need a source of energy and hydrogen and you can start manufacturing liquid fuels and other long, complex chains of hydrocarbons. We have a ton of nuclear waste that we don't know what to do with that has a lot of fissionable materials. Back in the late 60s/early 70s, the thorium fuel cycle was proven to work given fissionable material. The fact that TH232 is fissionable but not fertile means that the physics limitation is the availability of fissionable material. In other words, our nuclear waste can be used to jumpstart the process, while simultaneously burning up the trans-uranic waste that we don't know what to do with.
This can be done, but I don't see it working for 7 billion people, and even if that weren't an issue, we should have been putting our effort into developing this technology a couple of decades ago and we should have been putting in the infrastructure at least a decade ago. I still strongly suspect that, even with this, economies would have to be much more local.
Thorium fission is a viable new energy source .... but how do you overcome the "nuclear" stigma so beloved by progressives in the U.S? Barring an executive order by Obama, I don't see how you can get through the legal hurdles to actually build one.
You wait until people are worried about being able to afford to run their refrigerators and air conditioners. They will have to feel more pain before they change their minds, and then the nay-sayers will be told to fuck off. We need a complete reset in just about everything, and the problem is, that means a lot of pain, suffering and ultimately death. Like I say, I don't see this working for 7 billion people. Even developing this technology and putting it to use doesn't take into account other environment constraints, such as fresh water. We will be forced to change the way we live.
Last night, Scarface Gretta on FOX said consumer spending was strong.
Maybe in her salary range spending is very strong.
Too bad it doesn't support growth.
Could always change how GDP is calculated.
In addition to the inflation deflator.
Create an elite inflator.
Shaming the broke back into spending? That only works with the greenspan faucet wide open.
My savings plan is simple: 20% of each check goes into a savings account that I do not touch. As my pay increases, so does my savings. If I have anything extra, I'll buy a little gold here and there, fractional Eagles, mostly. Employer takes a bit out each check for 401k Tax... er... Contribution.
they are hanging onto every last thread to substantiate "nothing wrong here" and "here we grow again"
reminds me of some of the IRS investigation - IRS head Hoskinen contradicting what he said one sentence ago more than once without regard of what he did
Q1 was the 17th shittiest fucking quarter in US history. And Q2 is supposed to rebound? Brutal.

Exclusive Character Poster For Stephen Fung's TAI CHI HERO
With Stephen Fung's Tai Chi Hero hitting US screens April 26th a series of character posters has been popping up online and here at Twitch we have an exclusive one to share as well.
Check the US trailer below.Lu Chan (Jayden Yuan) is still trying to find his place in Chen Village, the legendary town where everyone is a martial arts master...and Chen-style Tai Chi is forbidden to outsiders. But since he helped save the town from a frightening steam-powered machine, Yuniang (Angelababy), beautiful daughter of Grandmaster Chen (Tony Leung Ka-Fai), agrees to marry Lu Chan and bring him into the family. It's only a formality, though - she is the teacher, and he is the student - and that suits Lu Chan just fine, as the mutant horn on his head gives him incredible kung-fu power, but leaves him dumber each time, and closer to death.
Chen Village still stands in the shadow of danger. A prodigal brother returns, Lu Chan's presence invokes a curse on the town, and Yuniang's scorned fiancée has an appetite for revenge, as well as some new partners in crime.
The second in a trilogy from the creators of IP MAN and DETECTIVE DEE, and featuring action directed by the legendary Sammo Hung, TAI CHI HERO is a full-on, steampunk-infused, video game-influenced kung fu throwdown that will knock you out of your seat.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
In 2005 I went to Mexico for the first time. Hiking in the Forests for Monarchs with Jose Luis, of LCHPP, gave me a tangible sense of how responsible we are for the life cycle and survival of the monarch butterfly.
It was alarming to see the remains of felled old growth trees, shelter and sustenance for the monarch, strewn about, in these beautiful mountains.
The rewards of so many young trees being planted by the local population, with an understanding that their futures are significant deserves support.
I hope to be able to return to the forests and help plant trees some time.

support as is. Is an excellent organization.
This charity does a number of wonderful things. It helps replant forests in Mexico where monarch butterflies spend the winter in order to help keep these beautiful creatures alive and flourishing. It also teaches sustainable forestry to the local people. They are able to develop the forests while still having wood for buidling and cooking and trade. So, it supports the people, the environment, and all creatures who rely on the forests to live.

Expand it to cover more areas of the world.
I had the opportunity to visit La Cruz Habitat in 2007 for 4 days. I am an elementary teacher from the United States and had been given a grant to follow the Monarch butterfly from Indiana to Mexican mountain. Our tour guide, Maraleen Manos-Jones made arrangements for us to stay at the "habitat". We were shown the operation they have developed for reforestation in the mountains around the Monarch sanctuaries. Reforestation mostly consisted of replanting areas where the local populace had used the lumber for sustanance both cooking and making wooden items. We learned about their green approach to raising the seedlings, using compost for planting instead of taking soil from surrounding areas, fertilizing the seedlings with earthworm tailings, making their own equipment for watering and caring for the seedlings, engaging the local population in reforestation, asking school children to participate in owning the process by planting seedlings, and finally to educating farmers to give up part of their lands to plant the pine seedlings. The experience was life changing for me, and the more populace on this earth that hear about their efforts, the better our planet will be.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Mexico, as I have been there and observed them in operation. I have seen the areas that they have reforested, and have seen how they raise the seedlings. They try to plant up to 2 million trees per year to reforest the areas that have been depleted by the indigenous people.

I cannot think of anything that needs to be changed.

Join 4-H
What is 4-H?
4-H does have traditional 4-H clubs for children who want to raise cows or ride horses, but 4-H'ers can also learn to cook, create clothing, learn how to fish, train a dog, conserve wildlife habitats, and much, much more! Our 4-H clubs are led by talented and dedicated community volunteers.
4-H is also a major presence in Berks County's public and private schools. Thousands of young people complete 4-H projects as a part of their studies each year. They participate in the 4-H Embryology and 4-H Meet the Plants Projects.
A final place you can find 4-H is in collaborations with other youth serving agencies and schools. For instance, youth enrolled in the PA Migrant Education Summer School or Easter Seals Camp Lily are also completing 4-H projects. There are lots of possibilities for starting 4-H clubs as part of after school programs as well. For a complete listing of the 200+ possible projects available to 4-H'ers, checkout the Pennsylvania 4-H website.
Who is a 4-H Club for?
Young people between the ages of 8 and 18 may join any one of Berks County's volunteer-led 4-H clubs. Volunteer leaders are always welcome too—so if you're an adult with an interest in just about any hobby or skill, there's a spot in the 4-H program for you! 4-H is open to all children and volunteers—the program does not discriminate based on age, ancestry, color, disability or handicap, national origin, race, religious creed, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status. Everyone is welcome! Contact the Penn State Extension, Berks County 4-H Office (610-378-1327) for information about volunteering.
What does belonging to a 4-H Club involve?
4-H clubs typically meet once or twice per month, although some clubs get together more or less often. A club may be small enough to meet in a leader's living room or large enough to reserve a meeting hall each month—each club is unique. Clubs usually charge a small fee for annual dues, in addition to the $10 Pennsylvania State 4-H Educational Materials Fee. Project materials or project animals are usually bought by each 4-H'er's family. All of our clubs are organized around one particular project area—like the 4-H Outdoor Adventurers Club, for example, whose members work strictly on the 4-H Sportfishing Project each year. Talk to the 4-H leaders listed on the following page to find out which 4-H club is right for you or your child. Or contact the Penn State Extension, Berks County 4-H Office (610-378-1327) for information about starting a new 4-H club.

Investigators found "serious health and safety deficiencies" at the compound pharmaceutical lab tied to the fungal meningitis outbreak, according to a preliminary report released Oct. 22.
Tacky mats used to trap dirt and other contaminants from workers' shoes prior to entering a clean room "were visibly soiled with assorted debris," according to the report from Massachusetts' Executive Office of Health and Human Services.
Investigators from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health also found a leaky boiler adjacent to the clean room with a pool of water creating unsanitary conditions inside the Framingham, Massachusetts-based New England Compounding Center. Culture results from that potential contaminant are still pending, the report states.
Investigators also reported the compounding center distributed large batches of products in bulk, which was not allowed under the terms of its pharmacy license.
"If NEC was appropriately licensed as a manufacturer with the (Food and Drug Administration) the company would have been subject to additional levels of scrutiny," the report states.
As of Oct. 23, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 317 meningitis cases across several states, including 24 deaths.
Investigators who inspected the NECC facility found several other problematic conditions.
"Powder hoods, intended to protect pharmacists from inhaling substances during medication preparation, within the sterile compounding area were not thoroughly cleaned," the report states. Residual powder observed within the hood may also have led to contamination of compounded medications, the report says.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

ARLINGTON, VA (March 3, 2010) – The American Chemistry Council today released the 2008 report on the collection and recycling of post-consumer non-bottle rigid plastics across the United States. The report, prepared by Moore Recycling Associates, Inc., found that in 2008, over 361 million pounds of post-consumer rigid plastics were collected for recycling nationwide, an increase of nearly 11 percent from 2007. The report also found that in North American markets, much of the recycled material was used to manufacture new products, such as pallets, crates, composite lumber, and gardening items.
The category "non-bottle rigid plastics" includes nondurable items (or packaging), such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) tubs, polypropylene (PP) cups and similar food containers, and durable items, such as pallets, crates, carts, 5-gallon buckets and electronic housings.
According to the report the number of communities collecting mixed rigid plastics also has grown in response to demand from domestic and export buyers.
In 2008, twenty-eight of the one-hundred largest U.S. cities collected non-bottle rigid plastics through curbside programs, and a growing number of communities throughout the United States are recovering and recycling this material. Additionally, plastic scrap prices were strong the first 3 quarters of 2008.
"Plastics are too valuable to waste. They should be recycled. It's encouraging to see that communities, recyclers and consumers are increasingly recognizing the value of post-consumer non-bottle rigid plastics, and working together to provide recycling opportunities" said Steve Russell, vice president of plastics for the American Chemistry Council.
"ACC continues to promote recycling by providing technical support, increasing access to collection programs, and promoting greater consumer awareness," Russell said. "This is the second year we've conducted this research and we're pleased to see a significant increase as we track recycling progress of non-bottle rigid plastics."
The report is based on data supplied by 47 post-consumer plastic processors, end-users and exporters across the United States.
