From The Files Of April 27, 1989 '89 Fulton County Library reached another milestone this past weekend as workers and volunteers completed their move from the
old quarters on West Market Street to their newly acquired home on North First Street. The actual move was less than a block but the journey has been long. Local library services in Fulton County began in 1955 in a small building owned by The First National Bank and located at the rear of its parking lot. Then in the early 1970s the McConnellsburg Ministerium opened a small library in the vacant Lodge's Store on Lincoln Way West. The library remained there until 1974 when the Conococheague District Library of Chambersburg was awarded a grant to establish a library in Fulton County. The small one-room building owned by the bank that had housed the library back in 1955 was again called into service and this time was moved to 129 North Third Street. The year 1981 was truly a turning point in the library's history. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Shockey purchased the Mary Jane Duffey house at 121 West Market Street and gave it to the Friends of the Library as a permanent home. In 1989 the search for a larger facility ended with the purchase of the old American Legion Home on North First Street.
The local Sheetz store was doing a "land office business" on Tuesday but probably selling more Pennsylvania lottery tickets than hot dogs as customers lined up to take their chance at the Super 7 jackpot to be drawn on Wednesday, April 26. The jackpot is estimated to be worth over $100 million when sales end at several minutes before seven on Wednesday.
At Youngblood's auction on Friday even the other dealers attending the sale were surprised at the knockdown bid of $5,000 paid by a York dealer for a grandfather clock. The 1780 clock made by George Hoff of Lancaster was expected to bring two to three thousand dollars. Other items such as oriental rugs and furniture were sold at bargain prices when judged by their quality.

This video will show you the easy way to repair and prevent punctures to your tire using the Tire Science Sealant-filled inner tube. The sealant will repair a puncture up to 1/8 of an inch wide. And remember, always be sure to wear protective eye wear when using this product.
WARNING: This sealant should not be used on tires that move at speeds higher than 45 mph/75 kph. Sealant may cause excessive vibration in tires at high speeds.
Inspect the tire and locate the leak. Remove any object that has punctured the tire. If the tire still has some air pressure in it, spraying soapy water on the tire will help you find the location of the puncture. Be sure to mark this spot.
Note: A hole in the sidewall of the tire cannot be repaired using this product. Tire Science sealant-filled inner tubes will not seal sidewall punctures of leaks around the tire bead. It should also not be used with faulty valves or damaged rims.
Remove the valve assembly cap on the tire. If the tire still has air in it, use a small screwdriver to press in on the valve core to release all of the air pressure from the tire.
Squeeze the tire in order to break the bead using vice pliers.
Using channel pliers or locking pliers, remove the entire valve assembly out of the tire. Place your hand behind the rim to grab the valve assembly when it is removed from the inside of the tire.
Take the Tire Science sealant-filled inner tube and line up the inner tube valve assembly with the hole in the rim.
Carefully, push the inner tube into the inside of the tire.
Note: You may want to use vice pliers to loosely hold the inner tube's valve assembly in place on the outside of the rim.
Once the inner tube is fully inside the tire, inflate the tire to the recommended pressure.
Don't forget to place the cap back on the valve stem. It is recommended that you mount the tire back onto your unit and spin the tire on the axle for best sealant distribution.

Yoga and Depression
Everyone feels "blue" from time to time, but when depression deepens or persists for a long time, it can suppress your energy for living and make you more vulnerable to disease by dampening the immune system. Depression is sometimes a warning that may help you to protect your mental and physical health. It can be viewed as a signpost, signaling "It's time for a change."
The first thing a depressed person stops doing is moving. Regular exercise becomes intolerable. But Yoga exercise, starting with as few as three poses a day in just a few minutes' time, coupled with correct breath patterns, can become so pleasant to you that soon you will want to do more and more. The heavy, unmoving feeling of depression will be on the run!
Yoga exercises put pressure on glands and organs, helping them to produce the soothing, healing chemical balance that is needed to feel well and be well. Yoga exercises improve circulation, sending invigorating oxygen to your brain and all your muscles. The stretching and strengthening movements flush toxins from the body as well.
Often depression sneaks in slowly, as breathing patterns change from too much sitting at a desk, stress, age, or illness. The deep, invigorating breath techniques of Yoga bring large amounts of fresh oxygen to the brain and other parts of the body. Like a spring wind, it blows through the system bringing new light and strength to the unused parts of the body and mind where depression hides.
Complete relaxation and meditation practice show you how to access the strength and power of your inner self for a support system that keeps you going through all the ups and downs of your life.
Regular practice of Yoga will protect you from depression and help you stay bright-minded, while recognizing the signals that depression is giving you. To begin with, choose three exercises that appeal to you, and do them every day. Then, as you get more comfortable, expand your routine to give yourself more of a challenge and increase the beneficial effects.
Do you suffer from depression? Take our depression assessment test and learn more.

He returned for the final home-and-away game against the Rabbitohs, and played in the qualifying final defeat to the Warriors, and the semi-final win over the Broncos.
However the high ankle sprain progressively worsened and in the end the decision was made for Hoffman to have surgery.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Rookie midfielder Kelyn Rowe scored a pair of late goals and veteran goalkeeper Matt Reis kept a clean sheet in his first 90-minute performance of the preseason as the New England Revolution claimed a 2-0 win over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night at Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Rowe broke a scoreless deadlock with an opportunistic finish in the 77th minute before capping the night with a stunning strike in the 84th minute, bringing his tally to four goals and four assists in five preseason games. The U.S. Under-23 midfielder has at least one goal or one assist in each of the Revolution's preseason matches.
It was the Revolution's fifth consecutive win and the club's second straight in the Desert Diamond Cup. The Revs now have the maximum six points from two matches in the tournament, putting them on top of the pack ahead of the LA Galaxy (1-1-0, 3 pts.), Real Salt Lake (1-1-0, 3 pts.) and Red Bulls (0-2-0, 0 pts.).
The Revolution began the match with the same backline and midfield which started Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Galaxy as both Kevin Alston (calf) and A.J. Soares (knee) were once again held out for precautionary reasons. Head coach Jay Heaps did opt for a different forward pairing, however, handing starts to Colombian newcomer Fernando Cardenas and unsigned training camp participant Bjorn Runstrom.
A quiet first half saw little in the way of quality chances for either side as the teams spent much of the opening 45 minutes toiling in midfield. New York's best effort arrived in the 20th minute when Brandon Barklage sent a free header wide of the right post from Jose Angulo's corner kick, while the energetic Cardenas had the Revolution's most serious threat with a 20-yard drive which sailed over the crossbar in the 28th minute.
New England made three changes to start the second half, including switching both forwards with Saer Sène and Rick Smith replacing Cardenas and Runstrom. Unsigned training camp participant Florian Lechner replaced John Lozano, slotting into a right back role and pushing Darrius Barnes into central defense.
Rowe forced Red Bulls goalkeeper Jeremy Vuolo into his first save in the 60th minute, latching onto Chris Tierney's long ball into the box before sending a hurried effort straight at the New York netminder. Vuolo was saved by the woodwork in the 75th minute when Sène's 25-yard drive beat the 'keeper but kicked off the left post.
The Revolution's sustained pressure finally paid off with the game's opening goal in the 77th minute. Benny Feilhaber slipped Sène into the box and the French striker saw the ball tackled away before he could unleash a shot. The ball fell kindly for Rowe, however, who slipped a close-range shot into the vacant net to hand the Revs a 1-0 lead.
Feilhaber and Sène linked up again in the 81st minute and this time Sène got his shot away only to see the effort kicked away by Vuolo, but the New York goalkeeper could do nothing to stop Rowe's spectacular drive three minutes later. Sène was the setup man as he laid the ball down the right wing and into the path of Rowe, who cut inside and sent a curling left-footed shot into the far upper corner to put the result beyond doubt.
The Revs will close out group play in the Desert Diamond Cup on Wednesday, Feb. 29, when they'll take on Real Salt Lake at 8 p.m. ET.

The Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, Tom smith, a wealthy business man, stepped into the rape/abortion controversy. Smith, in commenting on U.S. Representative Todd Akin's infamous statement about rape and abortion, compared a pregnancy conceived by rape to a pregnancy conceived simply out of wedlock.
When speaking to the Pennsylvania Press Club, Smith remarked that he disapproved of the "legitimate rape" comment by Congressman Todd Akin (R-MO), but agreed with his stance on banning all abortion including in cases of rape. According to the Huffington Post, when asked how he would feel if his daughter conceived by rape Smith stated he 'lived [through] something similar to that'. 'She chose life, and I commend her for that,' he said. 'She knew my views. But, fortunately for me, I didn't have to ... she chose the way I thought. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't rape.'
When asked to clarify what he meant by a similar situation to rape, Congressman Smith said 'having a baby out of wedlock.' When asked explicitly by reporter if it is similar to rape Smith responded 'No, no, no,...But, well, put yourself in a father's position. Yes, I mean, it is similar.'
Later that evening, a representative of Smith's campaign issued a statement 'Tom was speaking to the difficult decision faced by his family, not the nature of his daughters conception.'

After reading your post I got out the eggs and started making chocolate macarons,using a recipe from the internet. Its try number 3. Although its raining hard here in Oregon,making humidity a factor we managed to get "feet" this time.Yay! I re-read your post about class at Lenotre & other links. Everything you say is helpful and the pics are great. Some cracked,some are beauties.ReplyDelete

You got me so hooked on macarons by your lovely stories that I just signed up for a macaron class in two weeks time. Alas, it's not in Paris but in Berlin, the school is not Lenotre or the Ritz but called Kochlust and the chief is not Marthe but Anna, but definitively macarons it'll be :-)ReplyDelete
What a lucky group! Next time, take some shots of French interiors!ReplyDelete
what fun!! and you're increasing the macaroon business by hundreds of euros each time you post! :-)ReplyDelete
- Maryanne (bridesmaid)7:01 AM
Thank you so much for this. I looked on your blog for a few weeks after we returned hoping to see us but had given up so I would never have found this without your direction.
Thanks again.
I still tell everybody about our amazing macaroons but havn't quite gathered the courage to try myself.
Best wishes

The news that GameStop sold out all of its pre-order stock of Wii U Deluxe Sets has Nintendo fans rejoicing. While this is certainly good news for the big N, Wii U Only believes it's always a good idea to put things in perspective.
"Then again, GameStop reportedly had only 13 to 16 pre-order slots for Sony's console at each store"
Exactly. And I know we don't know the exact number of units Nintendo is shipping, but I'm sure after the Wii success they would ship more than JUST 13-16 units per store.
Ud be surprised, id bet they only had 5-8 units
Nintendo plans to sell 4-5 million by March of 2013. We have no idea at this point whether or not they will meet or exceed that target. That's roughly 1 million units per month.
Really? Its still up for pre order here in Canada, like everywhere...
Right now, I don't have the cash for a wiiU so this will be the first nintendo system I don't get at launch... but I will wait for a bundle that includes Smash or Zelda
id love for all the people saying nintendo is purposefully creating a shortage (despite nintendo wanting to sell 1 million a month) to increase demand
to say that when the ps4 720 start selling out
My store took 23 preorders on the 32gb system alone. Very far from 5-8.
Then again 23 slots covered in 48 hours is a lot slower than 13-16 covered in 1 hour.
Unless we get unit numbers though we can't say much.
For example:
@Shok "I'm sure after the Wii success they would ship more than JUST 13-16 units per store."
Well the PS2 was also greatly successful and yet Sony still only shipped out 13-16 units.
Like I said we can speculate but at the moment this is not hard evidence that the Wii U is selling fast.
People always seem to forget - every single console sells out for months on end when it is first released. It doesn't matter what the day 1 preorders are, or how fast they sell out on day 1. They will continously sell out day after day for months, just like they always do (unless its a dreamcast).
actually no ones knows the real number per store, but even if the numner were the two digits, well all know all know 98% of those preorders is the people who are looking to make a profit out of it.
so the question is How many of those truly nintendo gamers are buying the console.
Who cares?
There is in now way the kind of buzz for the Wii U that there was for 360 or PS3. I don't know anybody preordering a Wii U and nobody is talking about it.
Why is this even a story? They approve some questionable stuff here!
I've already pre-ordered the deluxe version (paid in full), so I ain't complaining :P.
Actually there were plenty of articles over the summer saying Nintendo was having production issues with the Wii-U, and launching Worldwide within the same year, isn't helping the number of units per store.
The fact that they're not selling individual tablet controllers due to producing more consoles, so I don't think Nintendo has as many consoles as we may think.
I have a feeling they have worked hard to iron out such issues. The "late" Japanese release and rumored later European release may be the result of workarounds meant to circumvent production shortages.
Your point can't be ignored however, as they very well could have been affected as such by these issues.
I just called 4 local gamestops and they all had plenty of basic model wii u left. Only deluxe models are sold out.
Not necessarily, it could all be deliberate. By shipping few units on launch day they create the illusion of scarcity which get's people desperate to have one, just because it's hard to get one. The masses aren't that bright, if they see people lining up to buy something then many will decide they need to have one.
Just wait and see if closer to Christmas there are suddenly plenty available, that would indicate it's all part of the marketing scheme.
It worked well for the Wii, Apple products, Furby's, and Tickle Me Elmo Dolls. Where do you think these articles every year about that years "thing to have" come from.
With the original Wii, I think Nintendo was caught off-guard with the actual demand.
Black bond was right
"White Knight Shokio doing damage control"
.......Except no damage has been done lol.
Wow you people are throwing that word around now even when it doesn't make sense to use it! LOL
a defensive comment, playing down what it stated above = damage control
if their was no damage were you just rambling or something else?
Nah, Shok wasn't really rambling. His opinions are different from yours and you're calling it "damage control."
Typical honestly.
Shok just lurks in the unapproved Nintendo threads, waiting to find one with no comments and that needs a bit of damage control. Then BAM, there he is.
and u have to think about the ps3 being 499-599 and that was in minutes not days .so if was cheaper to make they would have had more to sell.
why u got disagrees when stating the TRUTH is BEYOND me U_U ... Yes the playstation 3 was sold out everywhere for months straights, people were paying 2-3 times the retail price online. i couldnt buy play3 until a year later lol.
the question here is not the Wii-U sales, is How many of those preorders are people who are actually buying it for themselves n NOT to make a profit out of it?
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is being released for the Wii U next March, for that reason and that reason only:
It's probably a similarly small amount. It's an old PR trick. Fake extreme demand to create real demand.
why do we have to compare a 349-299 system to 599?
its 2 different systems early buyers always buy on these to sell on eBay for 2 times what it will cost at store, here is an idea why don't these publishers release 5 million system at launch? you know why because there won't be 5 million people buying.
they release limited numbers so it seems like its selling out. If there were enough to go around than you would see a lot of systems on shelf.
end of the day i want Zelda in HD the day it comes out me buying wii-u till than my ps3 and xbox360 will do me a fine job since every 3rd party game will be released on both systems
Still those 13-16 units sold out in an hour for PS3. Even if Nintendo had 100 per store its still no indication of how well the consol will end up selling considering it took them a day or so to sell out and Sonys 13 took an hour but we all know how bad the PS3s first 2 years were.
Also remember the PS2 was the biggest selling consol in history and it still ended up selling under predictions so the Wiis sucess is nothing to go by either.
1 store? Ok, now do Best Buy, Walmart, Kmart, Target, etc. that's also selling out.
There is no allocation per store. There is a universal allocation for the company. Once it's reached, the pre-orders stop to make sure we can guarantee the orders.
THe way this gamestop pre order stock works.
They take the pre orders, the head office/ distribution teams will try to fulfil each stores pre order list, so 1 store might sell 100 WII U's and another may sell 5.
The probably have a rough idea (if not an accurate idea) of the total stock they will be getting.
Now they know the pre-order figures by store they can send out the correct numbers of consoles to each store accordingly.
Its just a logistics thing
I thought pre-orders - shipped means nothing these days right?
Let's wait for launch sales of Wii U
Launch is one thing its what happens afterwards. Look at the 3DS it sold a lot day 1 then sales plummeted till price dropped and Mario came along.
I missed out on the pre orders, now I hope there is not a massive shortage:(
There most likely will. Expect Nintendo to purposely skimp on supply. People naturally want things they can't have. The fact that the Wii U will be hard to get on launch day will make consumers go even more crazy over it.
yes because making less consoles availiable will help them reach their goal of selling 1 million or more a month...
its stupid speculation
something CANT just sell out because alot of people want it
nono there HAS to be an evil scheme to fool people
there just HAS to be
funny how i see alot of people, (mostly ps360 fanboys) say oh they are selling out because nintendo is purposely making shortages
oh no but if the ps4 720 are selling out
oh wow its a great success!!111
and no one will acuse those companies of evil scemes
Evil scheme? Buddy, its called hyping up a product. The same thing was done with Kinect and the PS3.
live2play: it's precisely what happened with the wii. you are silly.
live2play: Are you having a lot of fun at the beach these days? the weather is still nice.
How do I know you've been going to the beach? because it sounds like you have sand in your vagina.
Actually live, this is exactly the way to sell 1 million a month. Expect next week the mainstream media picking this story up and there being a small steady supply leading up to the holiday buying season. Everyone will want to get one as a gift for Christmas, but the perceived supply will be limited, thus increasing demand.
Probably soon after Black Friday you'll see an increase in supply and people will feel awesome for being able to pick one up as an awesome Christmas gift and feel they are the most awesome person ever for it.
With the Wii they did the same thing, however the actual demand was huge, much bigger than most console launches, and it caught a lot of people off guard.
It's all about perception and this is a very common marketing ploy. Never forget that the average consumer (ie. the masses) tend to have a mob mentality about this kind of thing, and don't really reason out what goes on behind the scenes.
I don't doubt that GS, Best Buy, Amazon, etc are sold out of their pre-order allotment. However, allotment doesn't equal all the consoles that will be available.
I personally have my pre-order in so I don't have to worry about it either way.:)
Nintendo ADMITTED to shorting wii stock to boost sales and it worked amazingly. People get paid to come up with these marketing schemes you know? It's not about how much you can sell in a month its about how much money you can sell over its lifetime.
You can still get it at TRU.
I almost missed out. I assumed - mostly from the Nintendo negatives I find on this site - that pre-ordering wasn't going to be an issue since nobody really cared about it anyway. I ended up ordering the standard unit because all the deluxe ones were gone. Another few hours and I would have missed that too.
Shane Satterfield said the gamestop he went to was selling 30 to 40 and they sold out.
I'm anxious to try one. I'm not really a pre-order a game system kind of guy, but I'm excited to see what they're like when they hit store displays.
Gamestop isn't the only place selling out. Target, Best Buy, Toys R Us, Kmart, just about everywhere.
I already got my pre-order in. My local game store said they had a pre-order allotment of 75 per store in the area. So take it for what its worth. There were around 10 other people pre-ordering Wii U's at the same time as I was.
Keep in mind that the WiiU is releasing a week or so before Black Friday. This means that Nintendo will have enough units to meet the initial demand and to meet the Black Friday demand. This console is going to sell insanely. Also, playing the shortage angle would be a bad move because ps4/720 news is going to be coming within months of the WiiU being released. Nintendo has a short window to capitalize on sells, so I doubt we will see console shortages.
"...ps4/720 news is going to be coming within months of the WiiU being released."
Nope. E3 2013 at the earliest. With The Last of Us, God of War: Ascension, and Gears of War: Judgement all coming out next year there's no way they'd cannibalize sales of their current consoles with a next gen announcement.
The longer they wait to release their next console, the better tech they can use at lower costs.
First off, I agree with you. I would point out that E3 2013 will only be about 6 to 7 months after the WiiU is released, so my prediction isn't wrong. Also, you are correct about the longer they wait the better tech they can deliver for a cheaper price. With all that said, I don't see Sony or Microsoft allowing Nintendo to have a year lead head start on them with no announcement of their new systems.
If you recall, Microsoft had a year head start on Sony and they never recovered from it. No matter what, the other big gaming company have to do something to slow down sales and support for WiiU, unless they want to have a repeat of the current situation. A situation where the Wii is the top selling console, yes those sales have dramatically slowed down but they still have out sold the other consoles.
I get where you are coming from, but I think you are underestimating how important it is for Microsoft and Sony not to let Nintendo move unchecked. If the WiiU is truly successful, I can almost guarantee the announcement of the ps4/720 sooner than later.
I don't think Sony and Microsoft are that worried about Nintendo right now (not saying they shouldn't be). I'm guessing they're banking on Wii U popularity not exploding like it did with the Wii.
Looking at sales so far, the Wii is at 96 million while the 360 and PS3 are at 68 and 66 million. Second and third place isn't the death knell that it was last gen. I don't know where the Wii will finish, but I'm sure both the 360 and PS3 will each reach 85 million sold at least. Last gen, the Xbox and Gamecube sold about 46 million units combined.
Also, many (not all, but many) Wii sales were from people who either didn't buy a console last gen or who own a Wii and another console. This conclusion can be drawn from a console sales comparison. Last gen, the PS2/Xbox/GC sold 200 million units combined. This gen, the Wii/360/PS3 will sell at least 270 million units combined, an increase of 35%.
So while MS and Sony would like a piece of that Wii pie, they're also not hurting by any stretch. All three companies' gaming markets are in pretty good shape, which is great for all of us. I'm sure MS and Sony are focused on making the Wii U look "obsolete" while also releasing an inexpensive console. To do that, they'll have to wait as long as they can. Now the question becomes: how long can/will they wait?
The average consumer probably isn't going to know or care about the PS4/720 come Black Friday. If people go in to buy a Wii U and they aren't available, then they may go for the PS3/360, which may look like an attractive alternative gift, especially if the rumored PS3 Slim comes out cheap. It's hard to say what the masses will do though since both systems have been out for a while.
My Gamestop only got 12 of the Deluxe before we were told to stop. It was a company wide deal not per store. As of yesterday we had around 50 of the basic and still going.
How did I get 4 Disagrees, I was stating a fact.
I hate this site sometimes....
I gave ya a Disagree and a -bub
Just for fun:)
only nintendo and gamestop should care about how much there is and there isnt in stock, as gamer i only care about the price and the games.
As a gamer, you should care about the success, because lack of sales = lack of developer support. And lack of developer support = fewer games for your system.
Nintendo systems are special because Nintendo will support the Wii U, no need to buy one to play a batman or a darksiders, i think Wii U is like the Wii i need to own another console at the same time.
Mario and Zelda, this is why i will buy a Wii U and success or not those two will release one day.
and 90% of the people commenting on this are only fanboys: It sells more it's the best... I know and you know this is not true and this console war shouldn't exist at first place.
Here are some other points worth mentioning:
The PS3 was released AFTER the 360: next gen was in full swing. Gamers needed to buy a PS3, 360 or Wii in order to keep up with new releases. The wiiu isn't exactly in that situation.
The PS3 followed in the footsteps of the ps2, whos legacy can't be denied. While I disagree with the majority opinion on the wii, its legacy is less than stellar in the public eye. The wiiu has less to work off of for many people.
What will attract people to the Wii U is that it will be the cheapest option for hardcore next gen gaming alongside the most likely $399-$499 PS4/720. Thats pretty much Nintendo's plan for the future.
2 Disagrees? Huh...
My point is the wiiu has these obstacles the PS3 didn't have, and is still selling(pre selling. Whatever) quite well. So far anyway, it is quite impressive, and could be a show that the positives outweigh the obstacles.
Here's another one: the economic situation is less favorable to large purchases than it was when PS3 launched.

A cousin of Aaron Hernandez pleaded not guilty Monday to charges that she helped the former New England Patriot and Bristol native conceal evidence related to the death of Odin Lloyd.
Tanya Singleton, 37, pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit accessory after the fact to murder during her brief arraignment in Fall River, Mass. Superior Court. A judge ordered her held without bail until an Oct. 24 hearing, based on an agreement reached between the prosecution and the defense.
Singleton lived at 114 Lake Ave. in Bristol, and frequently opened her home to Hernandez's two alleged accomplices, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz. Both suspects returned to the residence after Lloyd's June 17 shooting death and have told authorities they discussed the shooting with Singleton. Prosecutors say she had knowledge of the murder when she drove with Wallace to Georgia the next week. From there, she purchased a Greyhound bus ticket for Hernandez's "right-hand man" to continue to Florida.
Wallace the night of Lloyd's death was using a cell phone registered in Singleton's name to communicate with Hernandez and the victim. That phone has not been recovered. Prosecutors say they believe he used a different number to communicate with Singleton while he evaded arrest before he eventually turned himself in to law enforcement.
Singleton also faces a criminal contempt charge, after she refused to testify before the grand jury probing Lloyd's death. She has been in Massachusetts custody since Aug. 1.
Wallace and Ortiz, who were seen on surveillance footage with Hernandez and the victim the night of his death, both are charged with accessory after the fact to murder. The former Patriot tight end has been held without bail since his late-June murder arrest, and is next scheduled to appear in court Oct. 9.

KEVIN McGILL
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The panel that runs Louisiana's Superdome approved spending up to $100,000 on Wednesday for a study of possible enhancements to backup power systems that run escalators, toilets and essential operations during emergencies.
Dome manager Doug Thornton says the emergency systems worked during the Super Bowl - when a problem traced to a utility company's equipment caused a partial power outage and suspension of the NFL game for 34 minutes. But he said the current backup generator system was designed to maintain generator power when the dome is being evacuated, not accommodate fans staying through a temporary outage.
In addition to emergency systems, Thornton said, the study would also include a comprehensive look at dome electrical and mechanical systems and operating and maintenance procedures.
In an interview after Wednesday's meeting of the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District, Thornton said the enhancements he envisions wouldn't avoid interruption of a game in the event of an outage. It would be aimed at improving comfort and safety during a temporary outage. "I'm talking specifically about escalators, elevators, water pumps that are required to flush toilets in the upper levels of the building, maybe a chiller for air conditioning and possibly even a video screen or a message board for messaging to the public," Thornton said.
Fans interviewed as they exited the dome on the night of the outage described it as an annoyance, reporting inconveniences such as being unable to use credit cards at some concession stands. But there were no reports of disturbances or other emergencies. NFL officials have had praise for the city's successful hosting of the game and said the outage would not affect the city's chances of hosting the 2018 Super Bowl, which it's vying for.
There have so far been no indications that equipment in the state-owned stadium was at fault. Officials with Entergy Corp., the parent company of the utility that serves the dome, have said the outage was caused by an electrical relay device it installed specially to prevent a power failure at the stadium. But it's unclear whether the device had a design flaw or a manufacturing defect or if there was a problem in the way was set to trigger a break in current in the event of a power surge or other electrical problem.
Entergy and the management company that runs the dome for the state, SMG, recently announced the hiring of Utah-based forensic engineer John Palmer to perform an independent analysis of the outage. Thornton, an SMG vice president, told the board that Entergy is bearing the full cost of that analysis. It is unclear when Palmer will report.

Spring has been a long time coming but now that it has arrived, outdoor activities will increase and so will the possibility of coming in contact with ticks.
The peak months for ticks are May and June. Anyone who gets out of manicured areas and into brush is likely to meet up with ticks.
Just off the Lemon Park walking path or the walking path by the water treatment plant are good places to find ticks.
Those who spend a lot of time in the brush, such as turkey hunters, morel mushroom pickers and some dogs are putting themselves at risk for tick exposure, said Mike Miller, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks chief of information production.
Morel hunters have to spend a lot of time walking through and reaching into the brush to find their mushroom treats.
Turkey hunters are even more exposed as they spend many hours sitting in brush areas while they wait for turkeys to come in and answer their call.
An insect repellant is a good way to prevent bugs from getting on exposed skin. Spraying ankles and legs will help keep ticks away from exposed skin.
Tucking pant legs into shoes will help keep ticks out.
Some camouflaged hunting clothing has built in insect repellent to keep the pesky critters at bay.
Ticks need a host to survive. Once they have found exposed skin they will imbed their mouthparts and start to engorge blood. Once they have drunk their fill of blood, they will drop off and start the cycle again.
Ticks are about the size of a head of a pin and can be very hard to find.
Start looking for ticks on clothing. Whether ticks are found on clothing or not, it is a good idea to check areas of exposed skin for ticks.
"Ticks like the hairline, neck and ears," Miller said. "That seems like the place they like to get on."
If a tick is found on skin, use a fine pair of tweezers and get as close to the head as possible. Be sure to not leave any mouthparts in the skin, Miller said.
Pull gently and firmly straight away then wash the area with soap. Tick bites can become infected so washing is important.
While the tick bite is not particularly painful, the diseases it can leave behind can be very serious. The two most common problems are lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
A bull's-eye rash is associated with lyme disease.
If a tick is discovered on the skin, pay attention to health changes. If a person starts to feel achy like they have the flu or the cold, they should go to a doctor immediately.
"Early diagnosis is critical," Miller said.
Miller found a tick on himself and developed flu like symptoms. He paid a visit to the doctor but it coul not be determined if it was lyme disease so he took antibiotics as a precaution.
Lyme disease is rare in Kansas with only 11 cases reported in 2012.

Garza makes Rangers debut against Yankees
The Texas Rangers may not want to fully judge Matt Garza in his first start with his new club given his career-long struggles against the New York Yankees.
Being thrust into a pennant race may give Garza a little bit of an edge on Wednesday night, when he makes his Rangers debut in the third contest of a four-game series versus the Yankees.
Three games back of Oakland for first place in the AL West, the Rangers on Monday sent a package of players -- third baseman Mike Olt, pitchers C.J. Edwards and Justin Grimm as well as a player to be named later -- to the Chicago Cubs for Garza, who was 6-1 with a 3.17 earned run average in 11 starts this year.
The 29-year-old did miss the final 69 games of last season due to a right elbow injury and had his 2013 campaign delayed due to a strained lat muscle, but looked strong as of late for the Cubs.
Garza won his final five starts in a Chicago uniform and has logged a 1.24 ERA in six outings since a loss on June 11. He extended his personal win streak on July 13 versus St. Louis, scattering two runs, a season-high 10 hits and two walks over 6 2/3 innings.
The right-hander was scheduled to pitch for the Cubs on Monday before getting dealt and should be eager to finally get back on the mound.
"I'm really excited about adding him to what's been the strength of the club -- our pitching staff," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said of Garza, who is 2-3 with a 6.04 ERA in five career starts at Rangers Ballpark.
"He's an extremely talented pitcher that has had success in the toughest of divisions and the biggest stages, who is throwing the ball as well as anybody right now," Daniels said. "It's a power repertoire, a little bit of a different look from what we've got."
Garza has faced the Yankees plenty of times in his career, which began with Minnesota and Tampa Bay before his move to Chicago. However, in 12 career meetings with New York, including 11 starts, he is just 1-4 with a 4.48 ERA.
The Yankees will counter with veteran Andy Pettitte, who was denied a third straight winning start on Friday in Boston. He suffered a 4-2 loss, giving up all four runs on six hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings.
"It's got to change," said Pettitte of the 3-0 hole he put his club in after two innings. "I can't keep going out there and giving up two, three, four runs in the first inning and second inning. I'm feeling decent, but I have to obviously try to minimize the damage here early in the game."
The 41-year-old lefty has lost four of his past six decisions over his last seven starts, with his ERA lifting from 3.82 to 4.47 over that span. He is 7-7 in 17 starts.
Pettitte lost to the Rangers on June 26 after giving up three earned runs over six innings. He is 11-10 against them in his career, logging a 5.21 ERA in 24 starts.
New York and Texas have split the first two games of this series, with the Yankees rallying to win Tuesday's encounter 5-4.
The Rangers turned to All-Star closer Joe Nathan to hold a one-run lead, but he walked Vernon Wells with one out and then slipped while delivering a pitch to Eduardo Nunez. Wells moved up to second on the wild pitch and then scored the tying run on Nunez's triple.
"The only thing I wish I could take back is that one that I slipped on," said Nathan, referring to the wild pitch. "That was a big pitch in the inning that I think if I make a better pitch I'm able to set something up."
Brent Lillibridge followed with a single to put the Yankees in front and Mariano Rivera sat the Rangers down in order to secure his 32nd save of the season.
"When you come here as the new guy you just want to make the plays and do your job," said Lillibridge. "I just didn't want to make waves until I settled in. Tonight was nice and it made me really happy to be able to contribute that way."
New York had lost five of six prior to the victory, while the Rangers, who got a two-run homer from Mitch Moreland, have lost eight of their last 10 games.
The Rangers took two of three from the Yankees in the Bronx back in June.

A State educational agency (SEA) and its participating local educational agencies (LEAs), once approved to participate in the pilot, must meet the following conditions:
The SEA must take actions to help ensure that more students participate in SES and public school choice as demonstrated by a substantial increase in the combined participation in public school choice and SES in the pilot LEAs between 2005-06 and 2006-07.
The SEA must provide the Department with information on the academic achievement of students receiving SES by school within the participating LEAs within one month of the date that each of the LEAs receives its 2006-07 assessment results.
The SEA must ensure that parents in pilot LEAs have access to a variety of SES providers, as demonstrated by the following:
- Maintaining a comprehensive list of SES providers (e.g. nonprofit, for-profit, faith- and community-based, online).
- Ensuring that at least two providers from which parents may choose are available in each pilot LEA.
- Ensuring that parents in pilot LEAs receive timely information on school performance and student eligibility for, and enrollment in, public school choice and SES that is clear, accurate, and easily accessible, in languages parents can understand. The SEA may want to develop model parental notification letters and standard forms for enrolling students in choice and SES.
- Ensuring that pilot LEAs provide fair and equitable treatment of non-LEA providers by giving providers access to school facilities at a reasonable price and dividing space among providers in a fair manner.
- Ensuring that pilot LEAs allow providers to market their services to parents and work with community and business partners to reach out to parents and provide them with information on their options.
The SEA must require pilot LEAs to notify eligible parents about SES prior to the start of the school year, or within the first few weeks of the school year, and provide SES shortly thereafter.
The SEA must require pilot LEAs to offer continuous enrollment in SES or multiple SES enrollment periods throughout the 2006-07 school year until each pilot LEA spends the 20 percent required by NCLB or all students eligible for SES and choice are served.
The SEA must submit complete and accurate public school choice and SES data to the Department via the Educational Data Exchange Network (EDEN) for the 2005-06 school year by the end of October 2006, and for the 2006-07 school year by the end of October 2007.
The SEA must submit to the Department a report on how it met the terms of its flexibility agreement under this pilot by June 30, 2007.

Texas Hall of Fame Inducting 4 of Racing's Renowned
By GREG MELIKOV
Bill Allen was asked a quarter-century ago why he was putting up 12 percent of the $3 million purse to supplement his Wild Again in the inaugural Breeders' Cup Classic at Hollywood Park when the thoroughbred had no chance.
Allen, who organized and led Black Chip Stables, promptly predicted his horse was going to win and he was betting on it, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Wild Again went off at more than 31-1. The son of Icecapade led from the half-mile marker and won by a head in a rough-and-tumble race that prompted a stewards' inquiry. Runner-up Gate Dancer was disqualified to third for interferring with favored Slew O' Gold during the final furlong while the latter was advanced to second.
Allen, from Clarendon, TX, has been involved in horse racing for four decades. He is among four Texas Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductees that will be enshrined on Oct. 4.
Joe Straus Jr., a co-founder of Retama, follows his father into the Hall of Fame seven years later. Both were instrumental in bringing pari-mutuel racing to Texas in 1987 after a half-century absence.
"We have a great group of honorees this year," Straus said. "I feel very humbled to be included."
They include:
The late Dorothy Scharbauer Jr. – She owned and raced '87 Kentucky Derby-Preakness champ Alysheba, winner of the '88 BC Classic.
The Midland, TX, resident, who passed away three years ago, and her husband, Clarence, owned 400-acre Valor Farms in Pilot Point, TX, where they bred thoroughbreds and quarter horses.
Clarence Scharbauer became a member of the Hall of Fame in '01. His wife's father was Fred Turner Jr., who owned '59 Derby winner Tomy Lee.
Bobby Cox – He made a name for himself breeding and racing quarter horses. He won the All American Derby at Ruidoso Downs with Brimmerton in '04, when he was the American Quarter Horse Association Owner of the Year, and with Don't Let Down in '07. The Fort Worth area resident also is a member of the AQHA Hall of Fame.
Allen Moehrig will receive the Texas Heritage Award for achievements in the industry presented by the Hall of Fame's Board of Directors.
He co-bred quarter horse racing's only Triple Crown winner, Special Effort, who swept the three Grade 1s at Ruidosa in '81.
"Allen Moehrig has been making quarter horse history for over 40 years in Texas," Straus said. "What he and his wife, Jeanette, have done with a small breeding farm near Seguin is truly remarkable."
This year's JoAnn Weber Distinguished Service Award, named for the first Hall of Fame executive director, goes to Mary Ruyle.
She began as a bookkeeper in '88 for the Texas Thoroughbred Association and rose through the ranks to business manager. Known as the ultimate team player, Ruyle earlier this year was presented the Allen Bogan Memorial Award as TTA Member of the Year.
Veteran racing announcer Frank Mirahmadi will emcee the 10th Hall of Fame ceremony, which begins late that Saturday afternoon before a night of racing featuring six stakes races with purses totaling $500,000.
The analyst for the TVG interactive racing network, who emceed the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association awards in 2003 and 2007, is a master impressionist of fellow announcers as well as celebrities calling races.
Mirahmadi has a Retama connection. He sent out tapes after "calling my first two races at Hollywood Park in 1992. One of the people I sent a tape to was (Retama President) Bob Quigley, who was very supportive. He did say, however, that he needed to hear what my voice sounded like calling a race, not impressions."
So in '94, Mirahmadi found Michael Wrona, who announced a short meeting at Player's Bluegrass Downs in Paducah, KY. He was invited that fall to call three races on a Saturday and three more the following Sunday.
"I was able to get two decent calls out of that visit," Mirahmadi recalled, "included it on the tape I sent to Retama. Ironically, Wrona was hired at Retama. But that tape got me a four-day fill-in gig at Hialeah in 1995, which led to my appointment there in 1996."
The 40-year-old native of Los Angeles, who also was track announcer at Fair Grounds and Louisiana Downs as well as at various race meetings on the California Fair Circuit, is the new race caller at Turf Paradise this fall.

One of the first things you have to realize about zombies is that they drool blood, which must be hell on the dry cleaning. Never date a zombie, not even over a cup of coffee, unless you're one of those women with a bad boy/blood complex, in which case there's probably no helping you.
That's just one of the takeaways from attending Halloween Horror Nights, currently playing at Universal Studios. Widely regarded as the best Halloween attraction in the area, Horror Nights features a half-dozen haunted house mazes. In case life isn't frightening enough already, I completely recommend it. As with all near-death experiences, I also recommend comfy walking shoes.
Manly as I am, there were still a few actual frightening moments. About 40 minutes in, my brain went from analog to digital, pulsing for the first time in patterns of 0s and 1s.
Then, just so we could sit down for a few minutes, my daughter and I hopped on the Simpsons Ride, one of the regular theme park attractions that remains open during Horror Nights. No breather, this thing. I kinda coughed up my kidneys. As Bart Simpson himself once said: "I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it and I don't know why I'll do it again!"
"This is the sort of thing," my lovely and patient older daughter says at the front entrance, "where you want to have a couple of shots first."
Now she tells me? Neither of us has been here before. And just from the crush of people — even Sunday night is sold out — I wouldn't have minded a little attitude enhancement.
No worries, because squeals and laughter are the recurring soundtrack at Horror Nights — not just ours, but the thousands of fellow patrons. It's a genial crowd, if not a particularly attractive one. I should talk, right? But it looks like every tattoo artist and fender shop tech in the world is here.
"There is nobody here I would ever date," my daughter says while studying the crowd.
"Should we leave?" I ask.
"Let's do one more maze," she says.
So that's what we do. There are six movie-quality mazes and the hugely popular Terror Tram, which zips you past the Bates Motel and the "Psycho" mansion to a hillside dotted with zombie camps. From a production standpoint, it's like producing six movies at once, says creative director John Murdy.
His tricks include scent cannons and moves as subtle as black industrial thread that caresses your cheek like a spider web.
But probably the most off-putting moment is when I got peed upon by a zombie, though I consoled myself that it might've been embalming fluid. It's not the first time. In several of the mazes, I get squirted as well.
"They always take out the alpha dog first," I explain. "Zombies are surprisingly smart."
But that doesn't make them good company. My goal tonight is to get one of them to respond to my jokes, such that they are. When one ghoul jumps out, intestines braided around his neck like Christmas pearls, I say, "You really oughta have a doctor look at that."
When a zombie nurse attacks me with an ax, I say: "So this is Obamacare?"
Nothing. Just like at home.
If you go, here's another tip: React to the zombies and they will leave you alone. If you ignore them, that messes with their zombie pride and they harass you till you respond.
On the other hand, if you react too much, the zombies feed on this and they will hound you as you flee. I was grabbed by several strangers, just clinging to someone out of reflex.
Nice to meet you, lady. Will you explain these nail digs to my wife?
Lines are long, waits range from 10 minutes to almost an hour. We zip through with what they call a Front of the Line priority pass, which is $109, compared with the usual $66 (online discounts apply on some days). It was the only way I could get my daughter to accompany me.
Thank gawd. Listen, sell your blood, mortgage your house, whatever it takes, but a Front of the Line pass is worth whatever sacrifice you make.
Because if the ghouls here don't get you, the waits probably will.

Treasurer Wayne Swan says he expects the next set of economic growth figures to show a slight moderation.
But that doesn't mean the economy won't be resilient in the face of global volatility.
"We've got the national accounts out tomorrow and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw, you know, a slight moderation in growth," Mr Swan told reporters in Canberra on Tuesday.
The treasurer noted the economy had seen above trend growth in the first half of 2012 and cited central bank statement saying growth was running close to trend.
As well, low unemployment, contained inflation, a strong investments pipeline and strong public finances meant "the glass is more than half full".

Robert Francis's wife Jennifer described him as a �big teddy bear.�
Francis met his wife while they were both at Crest High School and the two married in 2001.
In February 2010, Robert found a mole on his arm that was growing.
�It was just an ordinary mole but it started looking bad,� Jennifer said. �He was hard headed and wouldn�t go to the doctor.�
He finally went to the dermatologist. Doctors said it was melanoma.
�In March, he had a baseball sized area removed down to the muscle on his arm,� she said.
More tumors appeared and some went to his abdomen. The cancer spread to his bones.
�During this time we got pregnant with our third son, Jacob. We call him God�s gift,� Jennifer said. �Robert would ask why He sent us a baby. It was because God knew we needed that sunshine to get us through the day.�
In September 2012, the cancer had spread to his spine and he was confined to a wheelchair. But through it all, Robert stayed positive.
�He always kept his head held high and had a smile,� Jennifer said. �He had visitors every day and he was comforting them and counseling them. Not the other way around.�
Eventually, tumors developed on Robert�s brain.
After learning the cancer couldn't be cured Robert decided to go home and be with his family in October 2012.
Jennifer took care of him: feeding him, changing him and bathing him.
�He never came right out and said he was going to die,� she said. �But he said, �I�m ready when He�s ready to bring me home.'�
When Jennifer would cry, Robert would comfort her and tell her to make peace so that she could move on.
In February 2012, after fighting melanoma for two years, Robert decided he wanted to start a Relay for Life team. His goal was to make it for the survivors lap at the event.
The night of May 18, 2012, an ambulance picked up Robert for his survivor lap during Relay for Life. Since he could no longer walk, he made the lap on a stretcher.
�He was very proud and everyone said he was an inspiration,� Jennifer said. �He said, �If that�s all I can do, I�m glad I can be that for someone else.��
That night, after two and a half years of fighting, Robert said for the first time that he was ready to give up.
�My mind keeps saying fight, but my body keeps telling me no,� Robert told Jennifer.
Two days later, Robert passed away at the age of 32.
In his memory, Jennifer is continuing the RWF Relay for Life team.
Since Robert passed away, Jennifer said, every aspect of life has changed for her family. But they try to keep them in their lives by sharing stories and memories.
Now, because of Robert, Jennifer is going to nursing school.
�While I was taking care of him, he told me I would be a great nurse," she said. �We had so many wonderful nurses help him that I wanted to be that for someone else.�

Sugai Baikan (Japanese, 1784 - 1844)
Landscapes in the Styles of Chinese Masters, Edo period, ca. 1838
Pair of six-panel folding screens, ink and color on paper
Each: 57 3/8 x 124 3/8 in. (146 x 316.2 cm)
Friends of Art Fund, 1988
Baikan was among the most talented later artists of the Nanga school, those Japanese painters who identified themselves with, and worked in the styles of, Chinese literati painting masters. The skill and visual power of these screens demonstrate that Nanga remained a vibrant and creative painting tradition well into the nineteenth century.
According to their inscriptions, each of these screens is painted in the style of a different Ming dynasty (1368-1644) Chinese master. The screen on the top, entitled Mountain Retreat in Clear Summer, is after the style of Tang Yin (1470-1523), while the screen on the bottom, entitled Wintry Groves and Distant Ranges, is after the style of Lan Ying (1585-1664). Although it was common for Nanga painters to copy the styles of past Chinese masters, Baikan's screens are not merely exercises in stylistic imitation. Instead, Baikan has deliberately chosen styles whose characteristics have affinities with the seasons he has depicted.
In the top screen, for example, the short, angular brushstrokes recall the style of Tang Yin, yet also convincingly evoke the vibrant vitality of a summer landscape. In the bottom screen, on the other hand, the long, ropy strokes that describe the mountains and the sharper, darker drawing of the trees not only approximate Lan Ying's style, they also effectively convey the visual contrast between bare trees and a snow-softened winter landscape. The harmony between subject and style in these images is also enhanced by the use of colors and ink washes that further contribute to the seasonal moods these landscapes are intended to evoke.
These folding screens are of a type called byobu (literally, "protection against the wind"). Originating in China, such screens may initially have been used (as the name indicates) as temporary windbreaks at outdoor gatherings. However, they were probably used more frequently as moveable partitions indoors, where traditional Chinese and Japanese architecture provided large open spaces with relatively few permanent walls. Thus, screens of this variety, which were often created in pairs, could be used as needed to subdivide a room for greater privacy, for convenience, or for aesthetic effect. Because they were quite lightweight and portable, they were easy to rearrange, and because of their flexible hinges, they were easy to store, either folded up or flattened against the wall as decoration.
Each of the screens is signed "Baikan Gaku" (Gaku was the artist's given name; Baikan, his sobriquet), and bears two seals of the artist. One of the screens is dated with an unconventional combination of cyclical characters that has not yet been deciphered.
C. Mason
Sugai Baikan, a native of Sendai, first studied Nanga painting in his hometown under an obscure artist named Nemoto Jônan (dates unknown). He later moved to Edo, where he became a pupil of Tani Bunchô (1763-1840). After studying with Bunchô for some years, Baikan moved to Nagasaki, where he became the student of a Chinese Orthodox-school painter named Jiang Dalai (1744-ca. 1839). He is said to have adopted the sobriquet Baikan (literally, "plum blossom gate") during this period, after Jiang honored him with a request for a painting of that flowering tree. After leaving Jiang, Baikan lived briefly in Kyôto, where he became a familiar of the poet Rai Sanyo (1781-1832). Sometime after 1824, Baikan returned to Sendai and lived out the remainder of his years as a painter for one of the lords of the Date clan.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Bookings for U.S. durable goods skyrocketed by a record 22.6% in July because of a surge in contracts for Boeing aircraft, but most businesses trimmed spending after splurging in the prior month.
The latest figures on durable goods — a monthly report often hard to interpret— were generally seen in a positive light by Wall Street economists. Despite the pullback in July, they point out that new orders and business investment have risen sharply since an early-year lull and could accelerate in the final months of 2014
"We suspect that business investment will prove to be one of the economy's bright spots in the second half of this year," said senior U.S. economist Paul Dales of Capital Economics.
Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected durable-goods orders to surge by 12.6% after Boeing signed a record number of contracts for new jetliners in July, mostly for its upcoming 777X line. The spike in orders shattered the previous record of a 16.6% increase set in June 2000.
Along with Boeing, automakers also turned in a strong performance. Demand for cars and small trucks climbed by 10.2%, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday.
Orders excluding the transportation sector, however, fell 0.8% amid widespread weakness. Orders for primary metals, machinery, computers and defense goods all declined.
"Business are clearly still hesitant" to invest in new equipment and structures, asserted Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at Sterne Agee, one of Wall Street's small coterie of bearish forecasters.
Easing the blow of a generally soft July was a upward revision in orders for June . They rose 2.7% gain instead of 1.7% as previously reported. Most industries posted a strong increase in orders in June.
Orders for durable goods can gyrate from month to month, though bookings so far in 2014 show that businesses continue to spend at a moderate pace. Many analysts believe companies are ready to become more aggressive amid an upsurge in hiring and faster economic growth, but previous spikes in spending have often been followed by letdowns since the U.S. exited recession in mid-2009.
The record orders for Boeing jets, for its part, won't help the economy much in the short run. Most of the planes ordered last month could take up to seven years to assemble and ship to customers.
Another key measurement of business investment, a category known core capital goods, dropped 0.5% in July. While business investment has fallen in three of the past four months, it's increased by an annual pace of 9% so far this year. That's almost twice and fast as in 2013 and would be a good sign if companies continue to invest at that rate.
Note that core #durablegoods orders have fallen in the 1st month of the quarter for 14 out of the last 19 quarters-possibly a seasonal issue— Joseph A. LaVorgna (@Lavorgnanomics) August 26, 2014
Shipments of core capital goods, a category used to help determine quarterly economic growth, rose 1.5% in July and have climbed for three straight months. Shipments are rising at a healthy 5.7% annual pace in 2014.
