|Glad to see people climbing out here. Definitely an overlooked area. There are quite a few good boulder problems on and surrounding the mound. Check out the split boulder just to the west of the mound in the trees. There are at least 3 classic problems, with more potential test pieces. I think it is in the center here, not sure though: bit.ly/cMRx2I

|Heads up, the top anchors have been stolen from Wind and Weiners, be prepared to top out or build an anchor if you decide to climb it.

|Check every climb because several anchors have been vandalized or removed. Hangers are missing and some bolts have been chiseled out. Climbed out there today and the Wind and Weiners climb that shares anchors with the 5.10 are still gone. The 3 cracks (Modelo, Canned, and Jawbreaker) sharing an anchor also are missing anchors. Be prepared to build anchors and walk off.

Dear all, I look into mails-archive but I didn't find any hint for this question: is there a way to retrieve the timestamp of the creation/last modification of a row in a table?

Gee, how do you characterize a kick-ass concert that was a pain-in-the-ass to attend? It took us 45 minutes in rush hour to drive from Downtown Dallas to Exit 29 in Arlington… and another hour to get from the exit to our parking space. That mean we completely missed opening act Muse, and arrived too late for the up-close photos. (It didn't help that no one who worked at the stadium seemed to have a clue about anything.)
But while there are still many mega-problems involved with the stadium's logistics, the facility is marvelous (and very concert-acoustically friendly). And U2? Read about them after the jump.
U2 has always been an easy group to like but a difficult one to love … at least if your diva-detector is anywhere over the minimum range. Bono and company have been such social proselytizers, and so self-importantly so, for so many decades, that buying an album has sometimes felt like a political act more than a musical one. It's enough to put you off your feed, no matter how well-intentional or in sync they are with your views. No one wants to feel lectured at by their music.
But the music speaks volumes for itself. It is danceable as much as rockin'; fun and thoughtful. And if Bono seems needlessly into himself, well, that's the price you pay for genius.
And the concert at Cowboys Stadium, their 360 Tour, was genius.
Bono, still in good voice nearing 50, skipped about the stage energetically, even bringing a 14-year-old boy onstage near the end to share the spotlight (what a rush that must have been for the kid). There was showmanship but not of the cheesy, over-produced kind. The "spaceship" — what Bono called the portable stage with tubular projections screen — was all the special effects you needed. And while the visual were awe-striking, the music carried the day.
Carried it, even when the band didn't. On "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," Bono began the first words, then allowed the crowd, some 70,000 strong, to sing it out. And sing they did. U2, for all its pontificating, writes catchy tunes.
They perform them even better. The set was light on the newest stuff (a good thing); "Mysterious Ways" clocked in at song no. 4, followed by "Beautiful Day."
But it wasn't a greatest hits tour by any means. Only during the second encore did they get around to "With or Without You" and "Where the Streets Have No Name," but the concert would have felt complete without it. There were verses of "Major Tom," "Blackbird" and "Stand By Me" throw in for good measure.
The pretentiousness did sneak in. The end of the initial 90 minute opener included digital doves and a tribute to Aung San Suu Kyi; Desmond Tutu made a video appearance. But the group was unified, organic. It's almost impossible to believe these four men are making all this music.
Larry Mullen Jr. isn't the cute blond hunk he was two decades ago, but his drumming still rocks; The Edge has aged well into a hot daddy, and his guitar riffs can't be topped. Adam Clayton, wearing the gayest shirts this side of The Liberace Museum, kept the bass-work anchoring these force-forward songs.
And you can't underestimate how the venue and the size of the audience fed the show. U2 hard to love? Maybe. But not last night. There was a lot of love in there. On both sides of the stage.

Aurora -- It was a first round exit, but the Aurora boys basketball team demonstrated how much it improved in a 69-54 season-ending, sectional tournament loss at Cleveland Heights (15-9).
AHS finished with a 9-14 overall record after winning only one game last year.
"We were right there," said head coach Jim Wallish, noting with 3 minutes left in the third quarter, Aurora had fought back from a double-digit deficit to trail 50-48.
Dondre McDowell exploited the Greenmen for 26 points in the game, including five 3-pointers. It was a season high for him.
The loss spoiled a brilliant performance by 6-foot-2 senior forward Anthony Quaranto, who had 17 points, including a career-high three 3-pointers.
"It was very cool for Anthony to go out with one of his finest games ever," said Wallish. "Our seniors did a great job.
"Our goal at the half [AHS was down 38-27] was to win the third quarter and we did [outscoring the Tigers 17-14]. We had a shot."
Senior guard Paul Kollat had 11 points and sophomore guard Parker Blunt scored 10. Senior forward-guard Drew Daff and sophomore forward Kyle Fayne each netted 5 points, while junior post Pavel Galchenko contributed 4.
Senior forward Joe Roberto and junior Joe Dinardo each added a hoop and played solid defense.
"We were worried about when a quality team like Cleveland Heights would make a run, how would we respond," said Wallish. "The guys really stepped up to the challenge and I am proud of everyone. I think this district is one of the toughest in the area in Division I."
Cleveland Heights was upended 75-65 by 12th-seeded Euclid in the sectional finals.
The Greenmen finished a respectable 6-6 in the Chagrin Valley Conference Chagrin Division, which was won by Chagrin Falls.
AHS closed out its regular season with a 40-36 loss on Feb. 21 at Painesville Harvey.

Sergio Aguero made a mistake joining Manchester City, says Diego Maradona
Sergio Agueroâs move to Manchester City was a mistake, according to his father-in-law Diego Maradona, who has urged the forward to leave for Real Madrid.
The Argentinean legend, currently coaching UAE outfit Al Wasl, insists the 24-year-old made the wrong choice joining City from Atletico Madrid, and insists he should consider returning to Spain with Real.
Maradona told Radio de la Red: 'Kun [Aguero] has to play for Real Madrid. Even though he is flying at City, the best thing would have been to sign for Madrid. He made a mistake.
'Now, as he is doing so well, it will be difficult to get him from City. However if Madrid want someone, they get them.
âFlorentino [Perez, the club boss] has no limits. It's a question of convincing City – but not with money because they have plenty of that.â
The current La Liga leaders were linked with a move for Aguero on Tuesday morning, with Gonzalo Higuain mooted as a potential makeweight in a £8.5million deal.
However, Real coach Jose Mourinho has rubbished any suggestion of a swap, and accused the national media of trying to disrupt his sideâs title charge.
'You [the press] want to destabilise the squad,â said the former Chelsea boss.
âLast week I had signed for [Manchester] City, [Iker] Casillas was going to Schalke, Higuain to Malaga…
'The front cover of [newspaper] AS is false. If you want me to comment on false front covers then forget it.'

South Fayette taking applications for school resource officer
South Fayette Township commissioners voted March 19 to authorize manager Ryan Eggleston to distribute a proposed intergovernmental agreement to the South Fayette School District for a school resource officer.
The district was awarded a grant for a resource officer, which is to be a township police officer.
The position has been posted within the police department and interviews are being conducted. It is anticipated the officer would start before the end of the current school year.
The board also voted to advertise for bids for the 2014 summer paving program. Roads included in the plan are Lawnshadow Drive, Greenwood Drive to the entrance to Fairview Park, Woodhaven Drive and Firwood Drive. Those roads will be milled and paved. Parks Road, West Bridge Drive and Bowman Road are scheduled to be tarred and chipped this summer.
In other business,
• The board approved the land development/site plan for Phase I of the Newbury Market Development.
• Commissioners approved advertising for a part-time community development director. The position was budgeted for in the township's budget at a salary of $19,000.
• Three members were appointed to the township's board of standards. They are: Mark Sipos, Richard Jones and Terry Kuhn. South Fayette is continuing to accept applications for one opening on the planning commission and an opening for an alternate member of the zoning hearing board. Applications will continue to be accepted until April 2.

Change vncserver geometry while running
Have a vncserver running at ':1' and ':3' on my box. ':1' is '1152x768' which I use when I am at work on a smaller monitor. My ':3' is '1680x1050' which is what I use when at home using my wide-screen dell laptop screen.
This works fine, except that the two sessions are independent. Basically, I was at home, started firefox and some other applications in ':3'. Now I am at work and don't want to have to scroll around to see my desktop. If I use ':1', I can't get my desktop that was setup at ':3' with all the running programs.
Is there any way to change the resolution of a vncserver on the fly? With Windows & remote desktop, I am able to have the client dictate the resolution and color depth instead of the server specifying the settings (which is much more useful IMO).

safely mv directory to another partition and replace with symlink
Hi, all.
So I'm running a little Slackware LAMP server.
I have a couple partitions:
Filesystem Size Mounted on
Currently, they're stored in /var/lib/mysql.
What I'd like to do is something like
mv /var/lib/mysql /www/mysql
and then
ln -s /www/mysql /var/lib/mysql
(I probably messed up that syntax.)
Before I do something really stupid, though, I want to filter this idea with you guys.
So, uh, do I have the right mv and ln syntax? Will mysql explode when it encounters a symlink?
Or, even better, is there an option in my.cnf or a similar file that lets me change the directory properly? I didn't see anything, but mysql has a huge man page...
(Currently, there's no data I cherish in the databases, but I figure I should probably learn to do this right before I have to move actually valuable data.)
Looks all good to me; whether or not MySQL will throw a hissy-fit (I don't think it will)
I don't know; same w/ simply changing a config-setting. But if all else fails you can
always revert back ;}
Just make sure you stop it before you move.
You'd better do:
ln -s /www/mysql /var/lib
Both ways work :)
You might want to consider the use of a hard link rather than a soft link. If you're using a Linux file system (like ext, btrfs, etc.) that uses inodes, a hard link to a file increase the "in use" number of the nodes in the file by one. If the "in use" number is greater than zero, the node is not deleted when it's change by writing to the file. Instead, a new free (i.e., node with a zero "in use" number) is used. The "in use" number will not decrease to zero until the the hard link is deleted.
Thus a hard link to a file creates, essentially, a "snapshot" of the file. This minimizes the amount of disk space used by the backup, since only the changed nodes need actual disk space. That's unlike a copy that uses a new node for every node in the base file.
This, by the way, is how it's possible to write to a file (like, e.g., a system file) that's being used by a running Linus system, since the kernel, in essence, hard links opened files, and uses the "virtual hard link" when it references the file, releasing it when the file is closed.
The OP appears to want to move to a new partition; hard links can only exist in one partition as each partition has its own inode list (ie same ids as any other partition).
IOW, you can symlink across partitions, but not hard link.
Oops! :redface: I meant to post that to a different thread where that OP was asking about writing into a file, but was afraid that he might get it "wrong." (And I found the wrong thread when I looked for it after I woke up the next day with the realization that the hard link might be a good solution for that OP.)

Furmanite Corporation (NYSE: FRM) today reported results for the year ended December 31, 2010. Revenues were $286.0 million, compared with $276.0 million for 2009. Net income increased to $9.5 million for 2010, after net-of-tax restructuring costs of $5.2 million. This compares with a net loss of $(2.8) million for 2009, which included net-of-tax restructuring costs of $0.9 million. Foreign currency fluctuations favorably impacted the company's 2010 revenues, operating income and net income by approximately $1.8 million, $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the year. Earnings per share (diluted) were $0.26 for 2010, compared with a 2009 loss per share (diluted) of $(0.08). "Our 2010 results confirm that the actions we have taken to improve our performance and return Furmanite to profitability have been effective," said Charles R. Cox, chairman and CEO of Furmanite Corporation. "The positive impact of our reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2010 – almost $13 million excluding restructuring costs – is now becoming very clear in our results, with adjusted net income of $14.7 million after deducting the $5.2 million in restructuring costs associated with the cost reductions. Without those restructuring costs, our results would show improvement in net income of more than $16.0 million. Simultaneous with this strategic cost restructuring, we have moved forward aggressively to establish our long term strategic direction, our vision for the future and a culture focused on delivering expanded service and improved responsiveness to our customers." Joseph Milliron, Furmanite President and COO, said: "In addition to our improved financial results, the other part of the story is the positive attitude of our people. We have met with our local teams around the world to roll out our mission, strategic direction and commitment to a culture that is 100% customer-focused and quality-driven. These strategies and changes to our operations and culture give us the flexibility to adapt to market conditions, identify and respond to new opportunities, expand our customer relationships and maintain the momentum of growth. I can say with confidence that, across the entire company, we share the same vision and are working toward the same goal of being the industry leader in every service we provide by 2014."

Local competitors strut stuff in cooking contest
LTN Staff
Vinegar versus tomato. Memphis versus Lexington. Red slaw versus white. Y'all know what I'm talking about. It's divisive. It's delectable. It's barbecue.
This weekend, competitors travelled to Lincolnton to participate in the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) sanctioned competition at Hog Happenin'.
According to the event's website, "the event was the first to 'combine the animal with the mechanical,'" and "the 2001 event was the winner of the North Carolina Department of Commerce's award for Best Downtown Special Event in North Carolina."
Not only could you purchase barbecue to eat at this event, you could taste from some of the best in the region, ranging from amateurs whose gear fit in a pickup bed to pros rolling in with modified trailers and crafted double-stack cookers. No matter the equipment, all teams have the same goal — to lift the ancient practice of wood-fired cooking to an art.
The KCBS sanctions hundreds of contests per year. Hog Happenin' is a KCBS Traditional Sanctioned Contest. In this type of sanctioning, competitors are required to cook four meats: chicken, pork ribs, pork butt, and brisket. The cooking source is limited to wood, wood pellets, or charcoal. In addition to the four main categories, there are optional Anything Butt and Dessert competitions, judged Friday night by local dignitaries. Teams that chose to enter this portion of the competition had the opportunity to get creative with alternate proteins like seafood, or riff on one of the four main meats outside of what KCBS considers a pure version of the four main categories.
Entries are judged on appearance, tenderness and taste. Gordon Hubbell is a KCBS Master Certified judge and writer who lives in Lincolnton. He participated in Hog Happenin' as a member of the Laughing Ladies team and didn't participate in judging.
"Guidelines are not so tight that the cooks can't be creative," he said. "I think that's one of the best things about the KCBS rules, is that they're definitional, but not constrictive. So that you have something to aim for, but you're not put in a box." When judging, Hubbell looks for balance.
"Balance is that combination of things between the meat, the sauce, your cooking method and any other spicing, like rubs and injections that add together to create something in the whole that's greater than the sum of its parts," he said.
The contestants set up downtown at 4 p.m. on Friday and immediately began preparation. The first meat to go on the cooker was brisket, which can take up to 15 hours. Later in the evening, the pork butt went on. Chicken and ribs went on Saturday morning. Sleep is not a priority. The meat required attention through the night. The temperature must be monitored — too much heat can result in tough meat. Each team has its own technique. The sauces, injections and rubs are hand-blended and vary between types of meats. As long as they stick to wood, teams can get creative with their processes. For example, Sultans of Swine, from Charlotte, soak Hickory chips in homemade brown beer to add some sweetness.
This was Charles Wilson's first time competing at Hog Happenin', but he is no stranger to Lincolnton. A 1983 graduate of Lincolnton High School, Wilson spent many years in the Pacific Northwest and is in the process of moving back here with his family, a return to his vinegar-based roots. "Out there in the Northwest its just sweet, sweet, sweet," he said. "I went out there and cooked like I normally cook and I bombed because it wasn't sweet enough. So I had to adjust to them. My wife made me adjust to them. I said 'No, barbecue is not suppose to taste like that.' I haven't gotten a Grand Champion yet, but have placed in all my categories."
Wilson has competed in around 30 competitions and has a line of rubs called C-Dub's BBQ Rub and was on the third season of the TLC show BBQ Pitmasters.
Wilson competes under the name C-Dubs Corruptions and ribs are his specialty. Friends Wayne Brown and Bill Sherwood joined him in competition.
The barbecue mantra is "low and slow." Slow cooking requires patience and practice. Patience is not one of Jason Bullard's strong points. On a cold November day, Bullard, a native of Hawaii, stopped into Race City BBQ and Grill in Denver. He had the barbecue and it tasted so distinct to him that he asked the owner, G.T. Swindell, if he had ever competed.
After Bullard's encouragement, Swindell entered Hog Happenin' as a first-time amateur. Swindell competed with Bullard and Eric Strouse under the name Race City BBQ. Their approach is to keep it simple and relaxed.
"I am chill," Swindell said. "I just know. I smell it."
"He uses The Force," Bullard says.
Competition barbecue isn't just about cooking and winning. It's about camaraderie. Bullard appreciates the culture.
"I enjoy the time it takes," he said. "You don't do this over hamburgers. Hotdogs are on the grill and off the grill. With this you're forced to take your time and I'm a very impatient, rushing person. This is forced relaxation."
Hog Happenin' is a great opportunity for local barbecue enthusiasts to try their hand at competing. The Lincolnton-based Wood-hoss BBQ team is a family affair. Patriarch Jack Woodward cooks with his daughter and son-in-law, Jenn and Paul Cendejas, and this is their first time at Hog Happenin' as professionals. In 2013, they placed fourth overall as amateurs. Even the Cendejas children get in on the action with their own mini cookers.
"It's all in the preparation of the meat," Woodward said. "You have to trim the fat off and think about injections or marinades, depending on the meat."
Over $8,350 in prize money was awarded to the winners in each of the four categories, and a Grand Champion and Reserve Grand champion were named. KCBS employs double-blind judging. Competitors are provided with a numbered, white styrofoam box. At the turn-in table, organizers cover the original number with a new one before it reaches the judges. After the results are released, the judges can only guess if any winner was their favorite.
Denver-based Bayou Pork Smokers placed fourth overall, the highest of any Lincoln County professional team. Charlie Wilson and his C-Dubs Corruption crew took seventh with their ribs. Amateur Charlie Crumb's chicken did place high, coming in at fourth, but the category was taken by another local team of amateurs, the Casual Smokers. Overall, Crumb's team placed third of the 10 amateur teams with top-four finishes in three of four categories.
The man to beat on the professional side was the returning Grand Champion, Jerry Stephenson, of Redneck Scientific from Clayton. After the meat was tasted and scores tallied, he walked away with the honor again. After winning, Stephenson complemented Scott Adams of Sauced! BBQ Team from Charlotte, pointing out that the team received a perfect score in chicken, the only perfect score in North Carolina that Stephenson can remember.
"Contests like this offer an opportunity for anyone to compete, having a back yard side and a professional side," Stephenson said. "It's a family atmosphere, a more social thing. The pressure is really not so much on competing sometimes, but just on relaxing and having a good time."
At the Race City BBQ tent, Swindell and Bullard felt good about their first time at competition. They placed sixth overall in amateur competition. They felt the best about their brisket, which took fourth place.
"Competition cooking is not restaurant cooking," Bullard said. "It isn't the same thing. We had a good time. It was cool to get sixth overall. We thought our neighbors were better than us, but we beat them by a fraction."

A Comparison of Several Specification Error Tests for a General Alternative
This paper compares several tests for specification error in regression models when the alternative is nonspecific. The author considers the Durbin-Watson, RESET, Chow, and differencing tests. Perhaps not surprisingly, each test tends to perform well only against their "designed" alternatives. That is, with only a few exceptions, the differencing tests perform well against omitted dynamics, the Durbin-Watson test performs well when the omitted is autocorrelated, RESET performs well against incorrect functional form, and the Chow test performs well against structural shifts. These results are disappointing in that the tests have been proposed as tests against "general" or "nonconstructive" alternatives.

Latinos for Obama, Manchester Block Party
Today was a perfect fall day here in Manchester and it was a fantastic day to host our Latinos for Obama block party. There was a lot going on, but we managed to catch up with a couple of folks to talk to them about why they decided to come down today. What became apparent pretty quickly was just how many people we were talking to who were going to be voting for the first time this fall. They were pretty excited to get their chance to speak up.
Jonathan has pledged his vote for the President because he knows he has his back,
"He really is one of us, he had the same start to life as we have and he made something of his chances. I don't want a President who doesn't understand me, my culture, my community. He gets it and I respect that."
Rosa can't wait to cast her ballot, she told us:
"For the first time our future is in our hands, this isn't about our parents or our older siblings making decisions for us. It's me getting to voice my beliefs about what I want my future to look like and that's pretty exciting!"
We also checked in with Jonathan Brandan, who orgainzed the event today and who we met on Thursday, he wrapped it all up for us.
"Today was such a great chance for us all to get together, I love my community and I want everyone that I love to know just how important this election is, for all of us. This election is about making an informed choice, a choice to move forward and continue to build on the progress we have already made, or to go back, back to failed policies of the past. We just can't go back."
Today was another opportunity to see just how fired up people are here in New Hampshire. They have committed their vote to the President for another four more years of progress. Commit now and let's move forward together.

Sony are going to unveil a true challenger to the iPhone 5 and Galaxy SIII very soon according to information being reported by Crave.
The website spotted an interview given by Sony Executive Dennis van Schie with the German version of the Financial Times. In the interview Schie commented that ""We will create in the near future a flagship Sony model that can compete with Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy S3".
The new Sony Xperia flagship smartphone is expected to be unveiled in January at CES , which is taking place in Las Vegas. We don't have any details on what specification and new features Sony's new smartphone will have, but we're expecting something special.
Sony have just launched the Xperia T which is a premium Android smartphone that is featured on the new Bond film Skyfall. However, Sony obviously feel that the smartphone hasn't succeeded in challenging Samsung and Apple's flagship devices !
In the same interview Van Schie also stated that Sony would consider making Windows smartphone if the Windows Phone 8 platform proves to be a success. He also unveiled that the company is already developing a Windows smartphone to reduce the time needed to get to market should they ever wish to release a Windows mobile.
3G will keep you up to date on all the latest developments regarding Sony and will be reporting from all the breaking news from CES in January !

Professor Ventry Comments on Tax Liability for PolitiFact
Professor Dennis J. Ventry, Jr. commented on whether a decrease in tax credits amounts to a tax increase for PolitiFact, a website where journalists rank the truthfulness of statements by politicians, lobbyists, and interest groups. Professor Ventry was consulted by PolitiFact's editors as they sought to examine New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's claim that he has never raised taxes. Though Christie did not raise tax rates, he did cut funding for tax credit programs, the article notes."Tax credits reduce tax liability for eligible claimants. Thus, cutting, restricting, or repealing a tax credit for an otherwise eligible individual or business would -- absent other changes to the tax system such as a reduction in rates -- result in higher taxes owed," Ventry said.
Professor Ventry is an expert in tax policy and has written widely in the field. His research interests include family taxation, tax expenditure analysis, legal ethics and professional standards, tax and legal history, tax compliance and administration, and public finance.

Faces of the Boom: 'Black gold' boom drives demand for white trucks
MINOT -- Mike Gietzen sells so many white pickups to the oil industry, he added the word white to his email address.
North Dakota's oil boom has meant big business for auto dealers, but staying ahead of the demand can be tricky, said the commercial sales professional for Ryan Chevrolet in Minot.
"It's crazy and it's fun, but it can be maddening," Gietzen said.
Down the street at Minot's Ford dealership, Hank Ripplinger, commercial fleet manager for Westlie Motor Co., said many oil companies will buy up to 12 pickups at a time, but he's had some orders exceed 100.
"It's a fast business," Ripplinger said. "They want the unit now and preferably you have it on the ground for them."
Both auto lots have rows of their best-selling pickups: the Chevy Silverado 2500 and the F-150 or Super Duty for Ford.
But often they'll have to call on other dealerships in the region to help fill a big order.
Ninety percent of the fleet vehicles they sell to the oil industry are white because companies like to add their company logos, Ripplinger said.
Gietzen used to prefer a silver pickup as his personal vehicle, but he's switched to white.
"I've made a lot of money on white," Gietzen said.
Many sales are done online, often with a national company that manages the fleet vehicles for the oil company, Ripplinger said.
Gietzen said he drives west to deliver pickups to Stanley, Tioga and the surrounding area about once or twice a week.
Both dealerships say the fleet pickup sales have hit a plateau.
"We've seen that the last two or three years have been fast and furious, and it appears to be leveling out right now," Ripplinger said.
But the demand to maintain those vehicles won't level off anytime soon. In addition to the oil industry vehicles that need maintenance, customers will drive from as far as Montana to have vehicles serviced in Minot due to a shortage of workers in the Bakken, Ripplinger said.
"On given days, you can't get in this lot," Ripplinger said.

In its 21st Annual Report to Congress about the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Federal Trade Commission observed that debt collection continued to be a principal subject of the many consumer complaints received by the agency in 1998. This law, which was passed in 1977, is one of several credit laws enforced by the Commission, and is specifically intended to prevent abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices in the marketplace.
According to the Commission's report, "Such practices have been known to cause various forms of consumer injury, including emotional distress, invasions of privacy, payment of amounts that are not owed, and can severely hamper consumers' ability to function effectively at work." The report notes that while the agency has primary enforcement responsibility, it works with other federal agencies to enforce the Act and educate consumers. In addition to identifying practices that cause consumer concern, the report also highlighted the Commission's enforcement and consumer education efforts. Further, the report contains four recommendations for changes to the FDCPA that the Commission believes will improve the statute's clarity and its effectiveness as a law enforcement tool.
The Commission vote to approve the report was 3-0, with Commissioner Orson Swindle not participating due to illness.
Copies of the Commission's report and other information about the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act are available from the FTC's web site at http://www.ftc.gov and also from the FTC's Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580; 202-FTC-HELP (202-382-4357); TDD for the hearing impaired 1-866-653-4261.

- //Tony Gilroy
TORONTO—Being on a film set, working with actors and producers, all of that was nothing new for Tony Gilroy. His father, Frank D. Gilroy, won a Tony for his 1965 play "The Subject Was Roses," turned into an Oscar-winning film. His three boys—Tony, Dan and John—grew up into the business: two screenwriters, and an editor (John).
Tony Gilroy's first produced screenplay was the 1992 tweenage ice-skating romance cult hit, "The Cutting Edge." His name is on the scripts to three Taylor Hackford titles: "Dolores Claiborne," "The Devil's Advocate" and "Proof of Life."
More significant, all three entries in the humongo "Bourne" franchise—"The Bourne Identity," "The Bourne Supremacy" and this summer's "Bourne Ultimatum"—were scripted by Tony Gilroy.
So, when it came time for his directing debut - with "Michael Clayton"—forgive the guy if he wasn't quaking with fear and uncertainty.
"The great advantage of not being 28 when you make your first movie is that you've seen a lot of movies made," says Gilroy, who just turned 51. "You know that if your script is OK, and you hire really good department heads, and you cast really well, and the one thing you communicate as you do that is that everybody's making the same movie - well, you're so far along.
"As for the acting part: Of all the directors that I've worked with, it's such a small fraction that really understand what actors do, anyway.
"It's a mystery. And if you understand what one actor does, it's useless with another actor. ... I bet if I made 20 movies, I would never be able to take a performance apart and put it back together, and I don't think most directors can do that."
But if acting remains some alchemical puzzle, Gilroy knew that having talented practitioners on board was key. He had pitched "Michael Clayton" around the same time he started work on the first "Bourne," but always with the caveat that he had to direct.
"All the way through trying to get the movie made, George was at the top of the list," he says, speaking of the guy in the title role, Clooney, who eventually came in as a producer, too.
"I seem to want to write hero parts, so that list is a pretty short list of guys, and I couldn't get George," Gilroy recalls. "I couldn't get to him in the beginning, and when I finally did get to him, he read it and said he might be interested in directing it, loved it, wanted to do it, but he didn't want to work with a first-time director. So, it was two years later before I even got to meet him."
Gilroy, who lives in Manhattan with his wife and kids—and shot some key sequences of "Michael Clayton" not 500 yards from the Washingtonville, N.Y., house where he grew up—says that there were "real serious reasons" Clooney was his first choice and that they weren't all about the star's incredible box-office clout.
"I loved the idea of him ruined," Gilroy explains, "all that squandered promise. ... I don't think that there's anything sadder, dramatically - and probably in life, but certainly dramatically. You can kill the family dog, you can have the kid dying of cancer, but I don't think there's anything sadder than `too late ... Sorry, it's too late, you missed it.'
"And there's a tradition, you can navigate the movies every couple of years that really go after that idea - `The Verdict' is there, and `Save the Tiger,' `The Entertainer' - a whole tradition of that kind of film, somebody who has squandered something really valuable.
"It's a great motor."

This barrage of texts from the clingiest girl ever may make you never date again
There's nothing that anyone, male or female, hates more than a clinger. The good news? No clingy person in your life will EVER match the level of insanity this girl is throwing out there.
This 67 (!!!) image opus with a guy named Kevin and a girl simply known as "JJ" went live on Imgur this afternoon and oh boy is it an amazingly cringe-inducing read:
Say what you will about the lack of stability here but this girl's got some balls trying every gambit possible. A brief list:
-"Oh, I meant to text someone else. Here are all my unfiltered thoughts about the situation as I pretend my texts are going to the wrong people."
-Blame the guy for having sex with you.
-"Let's be friends."
-"I'm depressed and have no one to talk to so if you don't talk to me, you're responsible for whatever bad things may happen."
-"Goodbye forever."
-*12 hours later "Let's hang out as friends."
-Showing up at the guy's house???
-"I'm amazing, your loss."
-"I'm pregnant and it's yours."
All I can say is:

By JUSTIN FERGUSON
Manchester City's chances at defending the Premier League title took a devastating blow on Saturday as the club fell 2-0 to a determined Everton side.
The host Toffees rebounded from last weekend's 3-0 FA Cup quarterfinal loss to relegation-threatened Wigan Athletic with a hard-fought victory over second-place City. After Kevin Mirallas's early goal was incorrectly ruled offside, Leon Osman put Everton out in front with a swerving long-range effort. The hosts controlled the rest of the first half but were unable to add to their slim lead.
The match swung in Manchester City's favor just after the hour mark when Steven Pienaar was sent off after receiving his second yellow card. But Everton goalkeeper Jan Mucha, who continues to fill in for the injured Tim Howard, held off the surging City offense with eight crucial saves. The visitors thought they were going to be awarded a penalty kick towards the end of the 90 minutes, but referee Lee Probert thought that an earlier handball had occurred outside the box.
Everton sealed the win in stoppage time with a quick counter attack that was spearheaded by Marouane Fellaini. The Belgian midfielder drove down the middle of the field, absorbing defenders before playing the ball out wide to Nikica Jelavic. The forward's shot was deflected past Joe Hart, putting a cap on Everton's sixth win in its last eight matches against Man City.
The win propels Everton into sixth place and past rival Liverpool, who fell 3-1 to Southampton on Saturday. The Toffees are now two points back from Arsenal for the fifth-place Europa League spot. Manchester City, on the other hand, now finds itself 15 points back from league-leading Manchester United, who defeated lowly Reading 1-0 in Saturday's late match.
Here are some more stories to wrap up Saturday's Premier League action:
Although it took them 74 minutes to get on the scoreboard Saturday, the Gunners of Arsenal cruised past Swansea City 2-0 to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
The visitors created several chances on Michel Vorm's goal in a scoreless first half, but they were denied by either the Dutch goalkeeper or the goal itself—Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hit the woodwork twice in the opening frame.
Swansea generated very little offense in the match as none of the club's nine shots were put on Lukasz Fabianski's goal. Key playmaker Michu, who scored both goals in the Swans' 2-0 win at the Emirates Stadium earlier this season, was held in check by the Arsenal defense on Saturday.
Arsenal finally broke through with 16 minutes left. Nacho Monreal registered his first goal as a Gunner after his shot took a deflection off Ashley Williams and past Vorm. Gervinho would later secure the three points for the club in stoppage time, scoring off of a great pass from Aaron Ramsey.
Aston Villa moved six points clear of the dreaded drop zone on Saturday with a dramatic 3-2 win over last-place Queens Park Rangers.
The visiting Rangers were in complete control of the match's first half, inching out in front off of a Jermaine Jenas goal in the 23rd minute. Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan kept QPR from extending the lead with some fine saves and a few deflections off of the woodwork. The Villans were able to snatch an equalizer against the run of play in first half stoppage time when Gabriel Agbonlahor latched onto a Matthew Lowton cross.
The goal sparked some more offense from Villa in the second half. Andreas Weimann slotted home his 11th goal of the campaign just before the hour mark to give Villa a 2-1 lead. After Lowton missed a chance to make it 3-1 for Villa, QPR's Andros Townsend equalized with 17 minutes left.
Weimann turned from goal scoring to assist making with nine minutes left in the match, delivering a low cross to Christian Benteke. The Belgian would knock the cross in for his seventh goal in his last eight league matches, bringing his goal tally to 17 on the season.
QPR, who entered Saturday's match on the heels of back-to-back league wins, now sits seven points back from the safety mark with only eight matches left in the campaign. The club will face four bottom-half sides in its next five league fixtures.
Everton 2, Manchester City 0
Aston Villa 3, QPR 2
Southampton 3, Liverpool 1
Stoke City 0, West Bromwich Albion 0
Arsenal 2, Swansea City 0
Manchester United 1, Reading 0
What do you think of these results? Where do you see Everton finishing at season's end? Think Arsenal is going to finish in the top four? What do you make of QPR's chances at avoiding relegation after Saturday's loss?

Pennsylvania Dutch Potato Filling
(Shared recipe submitted by Curt Hartman.)
Curt writes: "As a child I had to help my mother cook and probably my favorite was the potato filling. We never had a big meal without it. My mother never measured anything but was well known for her cooking, so this is my best attempt to pass along her recipe for PA Dutch potato filling."
- 5 pounds Idaho potatoes
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1-1/2 cups diced onions
- Salt and pepper
- 2 sticks (1 cup) butter or margarine, divided
- 3/4 cup fresh parsley (or dried parsley flakes)
- 1-1/4 teaspoons celery salt, or to taste
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups dry cubed bread
- 1/2 to 1 cup milk, or enough to moisten bread cubes
Cook potatoes with salt until tender. Sauté celery and onions with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in 2 tablespoons oil until tender and slightly browned. Push to one side of the pan; add 1/2 stick of the butter and soak parsley in butter, then mix with celery and onions.
Drain potatoes; put in large enough container to hold all ingredients. Add the remaining 1-1/2 sticks butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1-1/4 teaspoons celery salt. Mix with electric beater. Add eggs and mix thoroughly. Add celery and onion mixture and mix. In the same pan used for the celery and onion mixture, soak bread cubes in 1/2 cup milk to just to moisten, adding more if needed, and heat. Add to potatoes and mix. (If mixture is too thick, add more milk. Add dry bread cubes if too thin. Also use more or less of seasoning to taste.)
Put in greased baking dish (or dishes), dot top with butter, and bake at 400° for 1 hour until golden brown.
About Curt: Curt is one of my favorite people. He calls himself the "Old Dumb Dutchman". That is an example of the Pennsylvania Dutch sense of humor. I remember my grandparents always calling themselves dumb Dutchmen. I always enjoy Curt's e-mails and he has helped me on several occasions with PA Dutch translations. If you have questions about the PA Dutch, I am certain he would be happy to help you out. His e-mail address is email@example.com.

PPP: Creating Unique Art With Commercial Glazes
"Commercial glazes are somewhat expensive, and if you're only using two or three glazes and you know the recipes, you might as well make them yourself. But if you are interested in using a wide selection of colors, and if those colors contain lead, barium or cadmium—elements that you don't want in your studio in a powder form—you should consider using commercial glazes. Many of them are so much better than anything you could make," Causey said.
Causey should know. The 34-year-old artist has worked with clays and glazes since he was a teenager. In fact, he first began selling unglazed animal sculptures when he was in fifth grade. Causey spent the next couple of decades perfecting his craft, discovering commercial glazes along the way. His experiences and influences have led to a unique form of art—art that capitalizes on the effects that can be achieved with various glazes.
From Homemade to Commercial GlazesCausey began throwing pieces on an electric wheel when he was 13 years old, and it was then that he started making his own glazes. At the age of 16, he began an apprenticeship with Rob Reedy, an instructor at Itawamba College in Fulton, Miss., who also used his own glazes and who taught Causey a great deal about the glaze making process.
"The way I was taught about glazes at the beginning was that it was basically like baking a cake—you take so much of this and so much of that and mix it together," Causey said. "Rob knew all the properties of making glazes. He knew what frits and fluxes and all the suspending agents did, and what different metals could do, and he explained all that to me a little at a time along the way. I never did have an in-depth glaze class, but I slowly learned glaze chemistry."
When Reedy became an instructor at The Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Fla., Causey accompanied him and completed his bachelor of fine arts degree. For Causey, making his own glazes became a necessary task to achieve the desired results on his pottery. But then one day, while still in school, he participated in a workshop in which artists Steven and Susan Keminify talked about how they used commercial underglazes to produce their unique Raku work. Causey was overwhelmed by the possibilities.
"I had been mixing glazes forever, and all of the sudden they had these glazes in these jars. I was amazed by the colors. 'I can use these!' I thought. It wasn't something I had considered before," Causey said.
Perfecting the ProcessCausey began to experiment with this newfound medium. He bought a number of different colors and brands, and tested them on his pottery.
"I used them on everything in every way—and often in unorthodox ways," Causey said. "For instance, I would do things like lay down a layer of glaze and then put an underglaze on top of it, creating some really neat 'dry' effects with glass underneath crackle. I did tons of trial and error testing."
But while Causey was able to find the glaze colors and consistencies he was looking for, mixing different glazes on the same piece of ware proved frustrating.
"There was a lot of glaze incompatibility, where a certain glaze didn't work next to another glaze or in a certain atmosphere," said Causey. "I wanted to use complementary colors next to each other, but unusual interactions sometimes occurred. For instance, when red and green were applied next to each other and fired normally, the green would turn black and the red would fade away altogether."
Rather than accept that he couldn't use different glazes next to each other on the same piece, Causey developed a different approach. He began breaking his pottery into different pieces, glazing and firing those pieces separately, and then reassembling them into the original design. Causey had found his niche.
"This process works well and allows me to use lustres and overglazes in a more selective manner," Causey said.
To break his pieces, Causey first bisque fires them to the right temperature—Cone 05-1⁄2—so that they are neither too hard, which would cause the piece to shatter, nor too soft, which would create holes in the pottery. He then takes the bisque-fired pottery and breaks it into anywhere from 10 to 40 different pieces, depending on the design. Next, he uses masking tape to reassemble the broken ware, and using a pencil, writes in which colors he wants to use on which pieces. His experience with glazes allows him to "see" what the final piece will look like before the glazes are ever applied.
"When you're doing composition for a piece of artwork, you don't need the color itself—you just need to know the color. You need to know the glaze weight, and how it's going to affect the color next to it," Causey said. "Mozart was able to play music even after he went deaf—it's the same thing with color. You get to a point where you don't have to see it to know what it is. You've worked with it for so long, that you know what the result is going to be."
Once the final color scheme has been determined, Causey painstakingly brushes the various glazes on each separate piece, taking care to keep the edges completely clean. "I can't dip or spray, because glaze will get into the cracks. If that happens, then the pieces won't fit back together," Causey said.
Each glazed piece is carefully fired to prevent warping, and the finished pieces are then reassembled into the final design using epoxy. The entire process is difficult and time-consuming, requiring at least a full week to break, glaze and reconstruct.
"The type of work I do would never really work for production because you end up with a problem every single time you fire," Causey said. "There's always going to be something. It's the exception when I can go out there and make a piece and it all goes perfectly the first time around. Let's say I'm working on a frog composed of 13 separate parts. For every single piece, the glaze has to turn out right, and then the luster firing has to turn out right. Every single time, I have to get not just a single piece to work, but a whole group of pieces to work so that I can successfully achieve the final design."
While Causey originally began this technique with platters and vessels, he was eager to get away from the potter's wheel, so he returned to what he had done as a child—sculpting animals. Because of increasing demand as well as time constraints, he recently began having his original animals cast. He can now produce a series of each animal, allowing him to try limitless combinations of colors and designs. "Because of the way each piece is broken and glazed, no two pieces ever look the same," Causey said.
Partnering with SuppliersAnyone who has seen a recent brochure from Duncan Enterprises has probably noticed that it is replete with photographs of Causey's artwork. Over the past several years, Causey and Duncan have formed a strategic partnership that has turned out to be beneficial to both parties. While Causey benefits from Duncan's technical expertise and the quality of its glazes, Duncan gains from Causey's popularity as an artist and his knowledge of the industry.
"I've used a number of different glazes throughout my career, and many of them work well in a number of applications. But for consistency, especially in the reds and oranges, Duncan just had it," Causey said. "I started noticing that my studio over the years just became filled with Duncan glazes, and I had very few other types. Duncan has also helped me with a number of technical issues."
When Causey showed Duncan how he was using its glazes, the company asked him to attend the NCECA 2001 (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) conference with the company in March, and Causey agreed.
"I stayed at Duncan's booth and I talked to all the students and teachers and artists that were walking around. And the people from Duncan said, 'Scott, not only do you do great stuff with our glazes—you know our glazes, and you know how to talk to these people.' And it's because I'm one of them," Causey said. "For me, it's fun, because I see Duncan's market, and I know where it's moving. So I can help them in that way."
Causey is also working closely with other suppliers, such as Skutt and Paragon, both to refine his own pieces and to help them enhance their reputations among artists and small potters.
"I enjoy working with these companies because I think that they're often underappreciated by consumers," Causey said. "But these companies spend all of their time trying to make something good, and I think I can help get that message out there."
Achieving FameCausey's work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. and is included in a number of major collections. His work was recently purchased for the permanent collection of the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, Fla. He sells about five to six pieces per month to galleries and through trade shows, and there is a high demand for his work. According to Causey, commercial glazes have contributed a great deal to his success.
"There are a lot of ceramic artists out there doing some really great things, and they're doing them with commercial glazes," he said.

text: Area livestock producers have an opportunity to become certified to compost livestock mortalities Nov. 27. The session will start 7 p.m. The program will be at Loudonville Public Library, 122 E. Main St. (Ohios 3/39), Loudonville. The program will cost $5 for materials. Contact the Extension Office at 419-281-8242 to register.Animal agriculture is faced with discovering innovative and economical ways to dispose of dead stock. This need has been brought on by the disappearance of rendering plants, concerns over potential ground water pollution from burial, and the economic and environmental issues with incineration. Composting of dead animals has been an option for swine producers for several years and was made a legal alternative for all other classes of livestock in Ohio. Composting offers an economical and environmentally friendly way to utilize livestock mortalities, and recycle the nutrients contained in the animal carcass. Composting is a natural process in which the carcass is decomposed by bacteria to avoid pollution of air and water. The process of composting dead animals allows bacteria and fungi to decompose the animal carcasses in an aerobic environment. Providing oxygen to this environment allows microbes to decompose the animal carcass without the production of objectionable odors and gasses. When done properly, composting destroys disease causing bacteria and viruses, and prevents the problems associated with flies, vermin and scavenging animals at the composting site.

Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie married Michael Feldman over the weekend and surprised guests with special news. According to People, there were 80 to 90 people who witnessed the couple say their "I do's" in a secret ceremony in Tucson, Arizona. Among the invited were Jon and Dorothea Bon Jovi, Matt Lauer, Al Roker, Hoda Kotb and Willie Geist. After a DJ played NBC News "Special Report" music – the 42-year-old announced their baby news.
A source said, "Savannah looked at Mike, and said, 'So, should we break some news? Okay. I – we – are four months pregnant!' It was an explosive moment. Everyone was on their feet, cheering."
The couple met in 2008 when she tagged along with a mutual friend to his 40th birthday party.
Guthrie said last year to Elle, "I would love to have kids. I hope so, if we're lucky and blessed, but who knows what life holds, you know? I'm 41 years old."
Guthrie tweeted a photo on Monday (March 17) and wrote: "We did."

Israeli Man Accused of Killing and Dismembering Partner and Child
The remains of Denise Rodov and her daughter Beatrice were found in separate locations last week.
An Israeli man is accused of murdering and dismembering the bodies of his girlfriend and their daughter, according to details of an investigation revealed Thursday.
The remains of Denise Rodov and her daughter Beatrice were found in separate locations last week, and the case was subject to a gag order until Thursday.
One of the bodies was found in the Alexander River, north of Netanya, last Friday, while earlier last week the torso of the other victim was found in a burning trash can on a residential street in Ramat Gan.
Police suspect that Eli Fahima, Denise Rodov's partner, murdered the two in Rodov's Ramat Gan apartment and dismembered their bodies. Fahima was arrested several days ago but continues to deny any connection to the murders.
The lifting of the gag order is expected to put an end to the persistent rumors that a particularly violent serial killer was on the run in Israel.
Last week a Ramle District Court judge allowed details of the murders to be published, but the gag order was then extended following an appeal by the police.
Police claimed in the last few days that although they have a lot of evidence, they are still a long way from cracking the case. One of the main problems they faced was identifying the bodies of the victims, because of the serious damage done to them.
Fahima has four children from a marriage that ended around two years ago.

Inflation is not slowing as quickly as the Reserve Bank of Australia had hoped, raising the risk of an interest rate rise as early as next week.
While underlying inflation eased in the first three months of the year, it remains above the central bank's 2 to 3 per cent target band, raising doubts it will drop to a forecast low of 2.5 per cent in the June quarter.
The headline consumer price index jumped by 0.9 per cent in the March quarter to be 2.9 per cent higher than a year earlier, driven up by rising fuel, medicine, electricity and education costs. The RBA's preferred measure of underlying inflation lifted by an unexpectedly firm 0.8 per cent, limiting the slide in the annual rate from 3.4 per cent down to 3.05 per cent.
The CPI was overshadowed by concerns about the ramifications of Greece's sovereign debt travails, and financial markets barely lifted the odds of an interest rate rise next week of 0.25 of a percentage point from 28 to 32 per cent.
But concerns that Australia is entering a commodity-fuelled upswing, with underlying inflation that is yet to fall within the target band, has convinced economists that the RBA board will have to lift the official cash rate to 4.5 per cent when it meets next Tuesday and will need to continue tightening monetary policy as the economy gains momentum.
Federal Treasurer
"For families it has an impact, it's tough," he said. "[But] measures of underlying inflation continue to ease through the year, and that is encouraging. Inflation has moderated substantially due to the dampening impact and effect of the global recession."
Although Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) figures confirm underlying inflation has fallen back after reaching a high of almost 5 per cent just before the global financial crisis struck in October 2008, they do not appear to be receding as quickly as the RBA expected when it released updated inflation and growth forecasts in early February.
In its quarterly Statement on Monetary Policy, the central bank predicted underlying inflation would slow from 3.25 per cent late last year to 2.5 per cent in the June quarter.
But with yesterday's official figures showing it was still above 3 per cent in the March quarter, economists warned it would have to grow no more than a meek 0.3 per cent in the three months to June to meet the RBA's forecast.
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group's senior economist, Shane Lee, said yesterday's results cast doubt on the central bank's outlook.
"[The] outcome means that [the RBA] would need a 0.3 per cent rise in the June quarter to achieve this," Mr Lee said.
"Given that this is extremely unlikely, the bank will need to revise up its inflation forecasts. Furthermore, it appears that underlying inflation will probably trough around 2.7 per cent this year, and this provides very little room for growth to be above potential as the expansion continues."
UBS chief economist Scott Haslem was similarly sceptical that inflation would moderate by as much as the central bank expected.
"After [the March-quarter rise], the RBA needs a 0.3 or 0.4 per cent rise in underlying inflation in the June quarter to meet its forecast," he said. "As such, it's hard to view [the] result as in line with the RBA's forecasts."
The central bank might draw some comfort from the fact that several of the factors that forced headline inflation higher in the March quarter were seasonal. A regular revision of eligibility for subsidies under the pharmaceutical benefits scheme accounted for much of the 13.3 per cent surge in the cost of medicines, while a 5.6 per cent lift in education expenses coincided with the start of the school year.
But even abstracting volatile items such as fuel prices, which climbed by 4.2 per cent, and food, which rose by 1.1 per cent, price pressures are building.
The strength of the dollar has helped contain the cost of imports and import-competing goods, which climbed just 0.2 per cent in the March quarter, with clothes and footwear 4.3 per cent cheaper and computers and stereos down almost 6 per cent.
But there is evidence that domestic demand is forcing costs higher.
According to the ABS, the 58 per cent of goods and services whose prices are largely determined by domestic pressures jumped by 1.5 per cent last quarter to be 4.2 per cent higher than a year earlier.
The rise was underpinned by higher utility, health, housing and education costs, with the biggest offsets coming from cheaper milk and poultry.
Even if underlying inflation eases broadly in line with central bank forecasts, the RBA might have to continue tightening monetary policy through the year, with official figures earlier this week showing producer prices surged 1 per cent higher in the March quarter – the largest increase in more than a year – and could add to consumer prices in the next six to nine months. But international developments are expected by some to loom just as large as yesterday's inflation figures when the RBA board meets next week.
The uncertainty surrounding the resolution of Greek sovereign debt has rattled global markets in the past 48 hours and several economists suggest it could convince the central bank to delay any rate rise.
However, RBA assistant governor
RBC Capital Markets senior economist Su-Lin Ong said although a rate rise next week was "a very close call", such a move would be prudent.
"The recent changes to non-resident purchases of housing, the Henry [tax] review and developments in Greece and Europe could all be used as excuses for a pause after two back-to-back hikes," Ms Ong said.
"However, we think the fundamentals will prevail, with commodity prices continuing to rise, confidence remaining strong, further jobs created and inflation pressures rising. Another hike next week looks prudent."
Bankwest chief economist Alan Langford warned that even if the RBA left rates on hold next week the pause was likely to be short.
"If doubts about Greece's capacity to finance its deficit causes the RBA to hold fire next week, it will only be a brief reprieve for mortgage holders," he said. "Unless a steep pull-back in share prices triggers a significant erosion in household wealth, the RBA is likely to continue raising the cash rate towards 5 per cent by the end of this year and probably beyond that next year."

My name is Lee Probert and I'm passionate about Creative Technology. There are many opinions regarding what makes a great Creative Technologist and for me the role draws comparison with that of an Architect. An Architect is not expected to be an expert in construction, but they need to know enough about the processes at a high level so that they can make confident, informed decisions. This is why, before the role Creative Technologist was defined, I used to call myself an Interactive Media Architect. I still think this title is an accurate definition of what it is I do.
The role of Creative Technologist is something I have naturally fallen into over many years of working in various Digital Production, Marketing and Advertising agencies.
Please download my CV to view my work history. There's also a bunch of links at the bottom of the page for getting in touch and browsing my social media presence.
