The Atomic Grill in Morgantown held a premiere dinner featuring rabbit, courtesy of a Morgantown teenager.
Kody Fowler, 13, has been working over the last two years to develop a business plan to breed and sell California rabbits for meat production.
"This is my first night here with the rabbits," said Fowler. "I went with 4-H, and decided I wanted to do an animal project, instead of just doing one of those books. I partnered with the Atomic Grill, and decided that I wanted to sell rabbits."
The Atomic Grill featured three rabbit dinner entrees, all made from Fowler's products. The restaurant was running low on supplies within a couple hours of the dinner's 5:00 PM start.
"This is some of the best rabbit I've tasted in about 20 years," said Chef Sean Coombs. "It's like he read the rabbits a bed time story every night. The meat is so tender and fresh.
Fowler joined 4-H, a youth organization administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help kids learn how to develop interpersonal and business skills, since he was very interested in learning about entrepreneurship at an early age.
"We were able to pick a project that he was able to do in a very small setting with a little rabbit hutch," said Fowler's mother, and Mountainview Mountaineers 4-H leader, Jennifer Turner. "So, the first year, he just raised his rabbits and then he got into the meat rabbit project and we got to expand the farm and make it bigger."
Raising animals is nothing new to Fowler's family. Turner raised prize hogs growing up in western Monongalia County, and used money from competitions towards a nursing degree from Fairmont State University. Like Turner, Fowler has his own bank account, and is saving his money for college.
Fowler, a card-carrying member of The American Rabbit Breeders Association, now hopes to expand his Hasenpffefer Farm, named after part of an old Bugs Bunny cartoon.
He currently has 14 rabbits, and looks to improve his watering systems, as well as continue to find new local businesses to sell to.

No Nintendo? No Bayonetta 2.
Posted on Saturday, September 22 @ 14:50:35 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
Executive Director of Platinum Games knows the business. His company recently ended their publishing contract with Sega, of course, following the large exodus of talent from Capcom, Inaba and the rest of Platinum Games learned to hold their IPs close to the chest.
That's why Bayonetta has a new home on the Wii U as an exclusive, Nintendo-published title. Platinum struck the deal following Sega's continuous delays of Anarchy Reigns in the West. Inaba told Polygon at the Tokyo Game Show:
Despite my hopes and dreams, Inaba kept silent on new changes to Bayonetta as a character and an action game, so we'll be sure to keep you in the loop as we closer to Bayonetta 2's release.
What's more, we'll have everything on the Wii U, including hands-on previews, news, and GameRevolution's review. Nintendo's next generation console lands on November 18th while Bayonetta 2's release date remains a hair-shrouded mystery.

A physical exam is an important aspect of staying healthy. Physicals should be performed yearly and before entrance into sports. The doctor will examine the eyes, ears, nose, throat, mouth, abdomen, back, legs, arms, and thyroid gland. In addition, the doctor will complete an assessment of growth and evaluate pubertal changes. Screening for hypertension, scoliosis, and obesity may be performed.
An important part of this examination involves the examination of the genitals and scrotum. The scrotum is the bag of skin that holds and helps protect the testicles. The testicles make sperm, and to do this, the temperature of the testicles needs to be cooler than the inside of the body. This is why the scrotum is located outside of the body.
During the physical exam, the doctor will examine the genitals, including the penis and testicles. The doctor may ask the teenager to cough while examining the scrotum. Although this can be embarrassing for an adolescent male, it is necessary to help evaluate the presence of inguinal hernias or tumors.
An inguinal hernia is when part of the intestine, or bowel, pushes down inside the scrotum from the abdomen. Although rare, the bowel can become trapped inside the scrotum, causing serious problems. The doctor checks for this by having the male cough while feeling inside the scrotal sac. Hernias may be felt as the person coughs and the bowel is pushed downwards. Hernias can be corrected with surgery.
Tumors are growths that occur throughout the body, including the testicles. Testicular tumors in adolescents are rare, but the doctor may check for this during the exam. The doctor will instruct the male how to perform self-exams.
It is important to know, as an adolescent male, that although this part of the physical may be embarrassing, it is necessary to make sure there are no problems.

I have never been able to make a good potato soup. This is now my new go to recipe.Even the kids ate 2 helpings. I didn't have any dinner rolls so I made quick drop biscuits with Bisquick and they gave it a wonderful taste and texture. I do have to suggest not to use dried thyme in this recipe. I didn't have fresh, so I used what was on hand. If I had to do it again without fresh thyme, I would leave it out all together. It was just way too earthy tasting for us.

text: Obama Lies While Accusing Romney Aide of Lying Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 2 Sep 2012 post a comment At a recent campaign stop Obama openly lied about what the Romney camp said just as he was claiming the GOP nominee's campaign is itself filled with lies. Obama was at a campaign stop in Charlottesville, Virginia when he unleashed an outright untruth claiming that a Romney spokesman was purposefully obviating "the truth" in the campaign. (My bold throughout) "Sometimes they just make things up," the President said on the stump. "I mean, somebody was challenging one of their ads -- they made it up -- about work and welfare. And every outlet said this is just not true. And they were asked about it and they said -- one of their campaign people said, 'We won't have the fact-checkers dictate our campaign. We will not let the truth get in the way.'" But Obama's is a claim that even The New York Times cannot allow to stand. Mr. Obama was referring, as many other critics of the Romney campaign have, to a comment that its pollster, Neil Newhouse, made to reporters at the Republican convention on Tuesday, dismissive of those faulting the campaign's television ads. What Mr. Newhouse actually said was, "These fact-checkers come to those ads with their own sets of thoughts and beliefs. We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers." Mr. Newhouse did not say, "We will not let the truth get in the way." That's right, even The New York Times had to tell the real truth. Mr. Obama lied when he said that a Romney spokesman wouldn't let truth get in the way of campaigning. It is telling, however, that the Times buried that much needed correction at the very end of its story on Obama's increase in attacks on Romney/Ryan, to be sure. If the situation were reversed, it is likely that the Times would have led with the lie if Romney had said it. President Obama's campaign has been one of the most cynical reelection campaigns in modern history. Instead of talking about his record all he and his surrogates can do is lie about the records of Romney and Ryan.

Navigate the entire rosary and rosary parts shopping catalogue by clicking on the bulleted list immediately below. Find general information on metals, bead sizes and more on the Catalogue Overview page.
6mm+ page 1
Shaded Australian Opal & Citrine
This lovely rosary is composed with double capped
Australian opal rondelles, shaded in white to pale yellow
to medium yellow hues. These are "common" opals; that
is, opals without fire, and are beautiful quality. Pretty
citrine rounds highlight the sunny colorway. Only one
rosary available-this is a rare bead. Wonderful!
Please click photo for details.
The Late Summer Garden in Faceted Mookaite
When mookaite jasper is good, it's really really good!
This high grade mookaite, with 128 faceting, has deeply
saturated hues of ochre, brick and salmon, with contrasting
off whites and dusky lavenders. Like a garden of roses,
asters, bee balm and sunflowers, these rosary beads are
a happy chorus of color. Pray joyfully! Only 1 available.
Premium Black Onyx
High quality black onyx beads are all dressed up
in Sterling silver in this elegant set of rosary beads. Black
onyx is a slightly lighter weight than many comparably-sized
8mm beads, such as quartzes, making it quite comfortable
to carry. Styled with classic openworked scroll crucifix
and center for a timeless look. Super glassy polish!
This rosary is no longer available, thank you!
This set of rosary beads has a remarkable, pristine beauty.
The high grade mother of pearl Aves are a slightly larger,
9mm round, and a wonderful winter white color. The
conch roses are expertly carved, with a sweep of natural,
blush pink color. The first rosary featuring one of our new,
exclusive reproduction crucifixes. One gorgeous rosary!
This rosary is no longer available, thank you all!
Rare Green Beryl
It's very unusual to find strands of high quality, well-matched
green beryl beads. The stone is more correctly identified as
heliodor: a variety of beryl in hues from yellow to pale lime.
The color shifts slightly toward blue-green in the beautifulOur Father beads. These shades work in harmony, suggestive
of leaves and calm water in your hands. Tranquil and exotic!
This rosary is no longer available, thank you!
Grey Crazy Lace Agate
This rosary came as something of a surprise. The beads were
very interesting on their own, but when they started to come
together with all the Sterling, there was a definite wow factor!
The monochromatic blend of the silver and grey tones is
sophisticated, restful and oddly modern. This is a heavy
rosary with an extra large crucifix, awesome for the guys!
This rosary is on hold, thank you!
Four Ladies in African Amethyst
Beautifully clean African amethyst beads are a rich
grape color, given an "instant antique" look paired
with bronze. The crucifix featured on this set of rosary
beads bears reliefs of OL of Lujan, the Stella Maris, OL
of the Rosary and OL of the Valley on the arms ends.
Durable rosary beads with excellent color and drape.
This rosary is no longer available, thank you!
Hand Carved Pink Coral
Ladies, this one's for you! Permanently dyed to resemble
angelskin coral, the palette of these rosary beads is cheerful
and uplifting. The bicone shaped Aves have been carved
with gentle furls at their centers, like petticoats, so the shape
feels soft to the touch. The Paters are beautifully rounded
and carved to resemble turbo shells. Only one available!
This rosary is no longer available, thank you!
Primavera Stone With Azurite in Chrysocolla
Primavera stone is found in the tailings of a copper/silver
mine in Arizona, and has a range of included minerals which
give the beads a refreshing blue-green palette. Chrysocolla,
here with included blue azurite, is secondary to copper ore,
so many of the minerals of these two stones overlap to a
delightful effect! Primavera is rare in this size. Rustic beauty!
This rosary isno longer available, thank you!
Phosphosiderite & Rose Quartz Roses
Ever-popular phosphosiderite is back; this time with gorgeous
carved rose quartz rose bud beads! This is a larger rosary,
with very plump, 8mm+ Aves. I get more email about the
beauty of phosphosiderite beads from buyers than any other
stone. Their orchid color is so unique! The quartz, carved in
this lovely shape, is very hard to find, and so pleasing to hold!
This rosary is no longer available, thank you!
And he said to them, "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God,
but for those outside, everything comes in parables, in order that
they may indeed look, but not perceive, and may indeed listen, but not understand,
so that they may not turn again and be forgiven.
Mark 4:11-12

BLUEFIELD, W.Va. (WVVA) - After months of debate and controversy from concerned citizens, Bluefield's Board of Directors has banned owning new pit bulls inside the city limits.
The Bluefield Daily Telegraph reports that people attending the meeting criticized the decision.
Animal advocate Laurie Harman told the board that there are no bad dogs, only bad owners.
The state director of the Humane Society, Summer Wyatt, said the city's animal control officer hasn't enforced existing ordinances.
Keisha Davis said pit bulls are hard to adopt because of bias and the ban will hinder animal rescue efforts.
Current owners have 10 days to register their dogs with the city under the ordinance approved Tuesday.
Despite public criticism, many pit bull owners have already started to comply with current city ordinances.
City Manager Jim Ferguson says 41 pit bull owners have registered 58 dogs as of Monday. Another 45 pit bulls that weren't registered were picked up.
Ferguson says that 30 citations have been issued to date for pit bull owners who haven't complied with the ordinance.
Of the 30 citations, only two owners were involved. One of which owned 15 unregistered pit bulls and another who owned nine.

Without housing options, people often are forced to rely on culverts, public parks, streets, and abandoned buildings as places to sleep and carry out daily activities that most reserve for the privacy of their own home. As communities recognize and struggle with the fact that people without homes often live in public spaces, multiple strategies arise. Unfortunately, many of these strategies include policies that criminalize homelessness. In a new report, In the Public Eye, author Lucy Adams, of Australia's Justice Connect and guest blogger at USICH elevates the conversation.
06/23/2014 - Your Input Is Essential to the Ongoing Success of Opening Doors
by Laura Green Zeilinger, USICH Executive Director
Yesterday marked the fourth Anniversary of the launch of Opening Doors, the first-ever Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. In four years, we have changed the trajectory of homelessness in America. In just the first three years of implementation, Opening Doors led to significant reductions in homelessness, including an eight percent reduction in homelessness among families, a 16 percent reduction in chronic homelessness, and a 24 percent reduction in homelessness among Veterans. And we are hopeful that we will be able announce even greater reductions when the 2014 Point-In-Time Count data are available later this year.
The progress we are making across the nation has proven that Opening Doors is the right plan with the right set of strategies. Opening Doors also provides a foundation and scaffolding upon which we can continue to innovate and refine the solutions that will end homelessness in this country.
This year, we're considering amending the plan again to include more of what we've learned from our progress.

"The Romance of Certain Old Clothes"
Which did she really want: her sister's husband, or her sister's trousseau? Will her desires cost her her life? In this story by the American master Henry James, a woman loses her heart to a man, but then loses that man to her sister. When her sister dies, she finally marries him, and her sister's trousseau comes to her as well - along with a spirit of jealous envy, even of the dead, that leads her to a terrible confrontation. The mastery of human psychology that marked all of Henry James' work plays out in this mystery of the human heart, a mystery that even goes beyond the grave.
"Lost Hearts"
In this M. R. James story, three children learn that a classical scholar's love of the past has led him into a terrible and bloody delusion. His bloody fixation on hermetic lore, which seems to promise eternal life, leads two of them to their deaths, but not to the end of their existence. That does not come, if it comes at all, until the third child falls into the scholar's power.

Call them the cliff jumpers.
A growing bloc of emboldened liberals say they're not afraid to watch defense spending get gouged and taxes go up on every American if a budget deal doesn't satisfy their priorities.
(PHOTOS: Fiscal cliff's key players)
Here's what these progressives fear: an agreement that keeps lower tax rates for the wealthy, hits the social safety net with unpalatable cuts and leaves Pentagon spending unscathed. In other words, they'd rather walk the country off the cliff than watch President Barack Obama cave on long-held liberal priorities.
"If the Republicans can't see their way to significant additional revenues targeted toward the people who are best off and targeted toward passive income and other things like that, then we're better off going over the cliff and readdressing this with a better Congress in January," Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) said. "And we would have plenty of time to fix it."
Bolstering the Democrats' strategy is the belief that the "fiscal cliff" is actually shaped more like a "slope" where the economic effects will be felt gradually, not immediately. That theory gives Congress some time at the beginning of 2013 to set tax rates and configure budget cuts in a different political environment and with a new class of lawmakers.
But underlying the tough talk is also a sense of liberal angst -- the left feels like it was burned by the last extension of the Bush tax rates and didn't get much of what it wanted in the 2011 debt-limit deal.
If tax rates snap back to the higher levels from the 1990s and painful budget cuts start to hit the Pentagon, these Democrats -- led by Washington Sen. Patty Murray -- believe they would wield more leverage over the GOP to enact a budget compromise on their terms. And with a January deal, Republicans would technically avoid violating the no-new-taxes pledge that most of them have signed because they would then be voting to cut taxes.
Republicans would most likely bear most of the public blame if policymakers deadlock. The Pew Research Center found that 53 percent of Americans would fault GOP lawmakers if Washington fails to avert the fiscal cliff; only 29 percent would point the finger at Obama.
"This is very, very important that we hang in there to essentially get the revenue component," said Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.). "I favor an agreement before Jan. 1, but I'm skeptical that our leadership may be able to reach one. If it's necessary to wait to get a good deal, let's do that."
Murray declared in a speech this summer that she would push budget negotiations into 2013 if Republicans don't cave on taxes for the rich. The fourth-ranking Senate Democrat repeated the threat in a Nov. 11 interview on "This Week."
"If the Republicans will not agree with that, we will reach a point at the end of this year where all the tax cuts expire, and we'll start over next year," Murray said. "And whatever we do will be a tax cut for whatever package we put together. That may be the way to get past this."
The fiscal cliff is a $503 billion mix of tax increases and spending cuts that experts predict will shock the economy in 2013 unless Washington devises a solution to avert it before the end of the year. The cliff includes not only the Bush-era tax cuts and the automatic budget cuts known as the "sequester" but also the payroll tax cut, jobless benefits and reimbursement rates for doctors who serve Medicare patients.
The White House wants to end the Bush-era tax rates on income above $250,000, but Republicans say all rates should be extended because doing otherwise would harm the economy.
The brunt of the cliff could be delayed, however.
For instance, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service could wait to adjust withholding tax tables, which determine how much money is taken out of paychecks. Tax rates could also be fixed retroactively. And the spending cuts to defense and domestic programs may be phased in over time rather than crashing down all at once at the beginning of January.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, one of the earliest espousers of the fiscal slope theory, said in April that entering 2013 without a budget deal would "not produce an economic calamity" as long as lawmakers reach an agreement within the first few weeks of the new year.
With the bad taste of recent budget deals still lingering in their mouths, liberals have particular reason to be concerned. Obama infuriated progressives in 2010 when he struck a deal with Republicans to extend all Bush-era tax rates for two more years, and last year's agreement to raise the debt ceiling contained no new revenues, angering them again.
But this time, Democrats believe voters handed them a clear directive on taxes. Obama centered his campaign on ending tax breaks for the rich and was reelected, while Democrats strengthened the party's majority in the Senate and boosted its numbers in the House.
Liberals on Capitol Hill are already drawing their line. For instance, West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin have circulated a letter urging Obama to shield entitlement programs from benefit cuts and demand $1 in revenue for every $1 in spending cuts.
"The worry is that Democrats will continue the failed strategy of the past, which is refusing to fight," said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. "To do so after the huge mandate of 2012 is absurd."
But that tough stance has led Republicans to claim Democrats are all too eager to trigger a recession. With a poster of a scene from the 1991 film "Thelma and Louise" behind him, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch said in a floor speech this summer that -- much like the movie's title characters -- Democrats were planning to drive the economy straight over the edge to get tax increases.
"Rather than stop the country from going over the fiscal cliff and preventing the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax relief, they are prepared to Thelma and Louise the American economy right over the cliff," said Hatch, the top Republican on the Finance Committee. "That is an astonishing admission."
And other Democrats aren't so keen on pushing the showdown past 2012. When asked whether he could let the year-end deadline lapse without a deal under any circumstances, Michigan Rep. Sander Levin, the House's top Democratic tax-writer, said: "It's such a bad idea that we ought to do it now."
"As long as people on the left and the right believe that there's not going to be any consequences of the intransigent positions, this is not going to be resolved," said Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), former chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.
Some Democrats off Capitol Hill are also skeptically eyeing the strategy.
"Markets are going to go into an absolute tailspin, and I don't think we want to risk that, especially with leadership right now trying to find a deal," said Gabriel Horwitz, director of the economic program for Third Way, a centrist think tank. "I think the market reaction is going to happen immediately."
Top negotiators won't explicitly endorse the tip-off-the-cliff method. The White House has repeatedly said an agreement must be reached, though it has drawn its own hard line: Obama will veto any bill that keeps the Bush-era tax rates for the highest earners. When asked about Murray's tactic in July, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters: "Patty Murray knows what she's talking about."
"I don't think it's my role to go to the table with a threat," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in an interview with ABC. "I think it's my role to go to the table with some ideas, to be receptive to what we can come to agreement on."
But rank-and-file Democrats calling for a so-called balanced deal are getting ready for that alternative.
"If there's a better opportunity to deal with that in January," said Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), "then that last option is something that Democrats need to prepare for."

Stiq Flicks – from film and video game industry freelance writer Kevin Kelly – examines video games and attempts to pair them with matching films. It's like wine and cheese, but with more aliens.
Once you've stepped into that arena, you can't go any further without discussing the films of directors Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, and John Woo (to name a few). Then of course, you have to bring in Chow Yun-fat. While there are many other fantastic Hong Kong action actors, Yun-fat rose quickly to the pinnacle, and became the actor most associated with the genre on North American shores.
It's hard to imagine Sleeping Dogs existing in a world where these filmmakers and their movies didn't exist. Where these directors pulled back the curtain on the seedy criminal element deep inside of Hong Kong, the game picks up and continues. While there are many terrific films that would go along nicely with this title, we're pegging Hard Boiled as the one to go with. In fact, without Hard Boiled, there would never have been Sleeping Dogs.

TEAMS: Baltimore Orioles
Orioles manager Buck Showalter is not ready to proclaim a change at the closers spot in the bullpen. On Wednesday the Orioles were up 4-2 and while Johnson began to stretch the Orioles never called upon him to enter the game. Instead Showalter allowed Darren O'Day, Brian Matusz and Tommy Hunter to close out the ninth. "I could have pushed it," Showalter said. "He had been up two or three days in a row and pitched last night. He's like second or third in appearances and I was trying real hard to stay away from him. Wei-Yin (Chen) went so deep in the game. Darren had two days off. Tommy was good for one up and in. The question immediately became whether or not there was a deeper issue at hand. "Oh, sure, you can read it," Showalter said, via MASN. "We've got 30-something games. We're going to put our best foot forward every night. Jimmy's our best option, one of them. I'm glad we've got more than one good option.

- Surprising comparative properties of monetary models : results from a new data base (2009)
- In this paper we investigate the comparative properties of empirically-estimated monetary models of the U.S. economy. We make use of a new data base of models designed for such investigations. We focus on three representative models: the Christiano, Eichenbaum, Evans (2005) model, the Smets and Wouters (2007) model, and the Taylor (1993a) model. Although the three models differ in terms of structure, estimation method, sample period, and data vintage, we find surprisingly similar economic impacts of unanticipated changes in the federal funds rate. However, the optimal monetary policy responses to other sources of economic fluctuations are widely different in the different models. We show that simple optimal policy rules that respond to the growth rate of output and smooth the interest rate are not robust. In contrast, policy rules with no interest rate smoothing and no response to the growth rate, as distinct from the level, of output are more robust. Robustness can be improved further by optimizing rules with respect to the average loss across the three models. JEL-Classifications: C52, E30, E52 Keywords: Monetary Models, Macroeconomic Modelling, Monetary Policy Rules, Robustness, Model Comparison, DSGE Models.
- Keynesian government spending multipliers and spillovers in the euro area (2009)
- The global financial crisis has lead to a renewed interest in discretionary fiscal stimulus. Advocates of discretionary measures emphasize that government spending can stimulate additional private spending — the so-called Keynesian multiplier effect. Thus, we investigate whether the discretionary spending announced by Euro area governments for 2009 and 2010 is likely to boost euro area GDP by more than one for one. Because of modeling uncertainty, it is essential that such policy evaluations be robust to alternative modeling assumptions and different parameterizations. Therefore, we use five different empirical macroeconomic models with Keynesian features such as price and wage rigidities to evaluate the impact of fiscal stimulus. Four of them suggest that the planned increase in government spending will reduce private spending for consumption and investment purposes significantly. If announced government expenditures are implemented with delay the initial effect on euro area GDP, when stimulus is most needed, may even be negative. Traditional Keynesian multiplier effects only arise in a model that ignores the forward-looking behavioral response of consumers and firms. Using a multi-country model, we find that spillovers between euro area countries are negligible or even negative, because direct demand effects are offset by the indirect effect of euro appreciation. JEL-Classifications: E62, E63, H31 Keywords: Fiscal Policy, Fiscal Stimulus, Government Spending Multipliers, Model Uncertainty, Crowding-out, New-Keynesian Models.
- Fiscal stimulus and the promise of future spending cuts : a comment (2009)
- Recent evaluations of the fiscal stimulus packages recently enacted in the United States and Europe such as Cogan, Cwik, Taylor and Wieland (2009) and Cwik and Wieland (2009) suggest that the GDP effects will be modest due to crowding-out of private consumption and investment. Corsetti, Meier and Mueller (2009a,b) argue that spending shocks are typically followed by consolidations with substantive spending cuts, which enhance the short-run stimulus effect. This note investigates the implications of this argument for the estimated impact of recent stimulus packages and the case for discretionary fiscal policy. JEL-Classifications: C32, G14, G17 Keywords: Fiscal Multiplier, Fiscal Stimulus, Discretionary Fiscal Policy, New Keynesian Model, Crowding-out, Government Spending, Macroeconomic Modelling.
- New Keynesian versus old Keynesian government spending multipliers (2009)
- Renewed interest in fiscal policy has increased the use of quantitative models to evaluate policy. Because of modeling uncertainty, it is essential that policy evaluations be robust to alternative assumptions. We find that models currently being used in practice to evaluate fiscal policy stimulus proposals are not robust. Government spending multipliers in an alternative empirically-estimated and widely-cited new Keynesian model are much smaller than in these old Keynesian models; the estimated stimulus is extremely small with GDP and employment effects only one-sixth as large. JEL-Classifications: C52, E62 Keywords: Fiscal Multiplier, New Keynesian Model, Fiscal Stimulus, Government Spending, Macroeconomic Modeling.
- Fiscal consolidation strategy: An update for the budget reform proposal of march 2013 (2013)
- Recently, we evaluated a fiscal consolidation strategy for the United States that would bring the government budget into balance by gradually reducing government spending relative to GDP to the ratio that prevailed prior to the crisis (Cogan et al, JEDC 2013). Specifically, we published an analysis of the macroeconomic consequences of the 2013 Budget Resolution that was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in March 2012. In this note, we provide an update of our research that evaluates this year's budget reform proposal that is to be discussed and voted on in the House of Representative in March 2013. Contrary to the views voiced by critics of fiscal consolidation, we show that such a reduction in government purchases and transfer payments can increase GDP immediately and permanently relative to a policy without spending restraint. Our research makes use of a modern structural model of the economy that incorporates the long-standing essential features of economics: opportunity costs, efficiency, foresight and incentives. GDP rises because households take into account that spending restraint helps avoid future increases in tax rates. Lower taxes imply less distorted incentives for work, investment and production relative to a scenario without fiscal consolidation and lead to higher growth.
- The new keynesian approach to dynamic general equilibrium modeling: models, methods, and macroeconomic policy evaluation (2012)
- This chapter aims to provide a hands-on approach to New Keynesian models and their uses for macroeconomic policy analysis. It starts by reviewing the origins of the New Keynesian approach, the key model ingredients and representative models. Building blocks of current-generation dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models are discussed in detail. These models address the famous Lucas critique by deriving behavioral equations systematically from the optimizing and forward-looking decision-making of households and firms subject to well-defined constraints. State-of-the-art methods for solving and estimating such models are reviewed and presented in examples. The chapter goes beyond the mere presentation of the most popular benchmark model by providing a framework for model comparison along with a database that includes a wide variety of macroeconomic models. Thus, it offers a convenient approach for comparing new models to available benchmarks and for investigating whether particular policy recommendations are robust to model uncertainty. Such robustness analysis is illustrated by evaluating the performance of simple monetary policy rules across a range of recently-estimated models including some with financial market imperfections and by reviewing recent comparative findings regarding the magnitude of government spending multipliers. The chapter concludes with a discussion of important objectives for on-going and future research using the New Keynesian framework.
- Complexity and monetary policy (2012)
- The complexity resulting from intertwined uncertainties regarding model misspecification and mismeasurement of the state of the economy defines the monetary policy landscape. Using the euro area as laboratory this paper explores the design of robust policy guides aiming to maintain stability in the economy while recognizing this complexity. We document substantial output gap mismeasurement and make use of a new model data base to capture the evolution of model specification. A simple interest rate rule is employed to interpret ECB policy since 1999. An evaluation of alternative policy rules across 11 models of the euro area confirms the fragility of policy analysis optimized for any specific model and shows the merits of model averaging in policy design. Interestingly, a simple difference rule with the same coefficients on inflation and output growth as the one used to interpret ECB policy is quite robust as long as it responds to current outcomes of these variables.
- Fiscal consolidation strategy : [Version 21 September 2012] (2012)
- In the aftermath of the global financial crisis and great recession, many countries face substantial deficits and growing debts. In the United States, federal government outlays as a ratio to GDP rose substantially from about 19.5 percent before the crisis to over 24 percent after the crisis. In this paper we consider a fiscal consolidation strategy that brings the budget to balance by gradually reducing this spending ratio over time to the level that prevailed prior to the crisis. A crucial issue is the impact of such a consolidation strategy on the economy. We use structural macroeconomic models to estimate this impact focussing primarily on a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with price and wage rigidities and adjustment costs. We separate out the impact of reductions in government purchases and transfers, and we allow for a reduction in both distortionary taxes and government debt relative to the baseline of no consolidation. According to the model simulations GDP rises in the short run upon announcement and implementation of this fiscal consolidation strategy and remains higher than the baseline in the long run. We explore the role of the mix of expenditure cuts and tax reductions as well as gradualism in achieving this policy outcome. Finally, we conduct sensitivity studies regarding the type of model used and its parameterization.
- Estimating the European Central Bank's "Extended Period of Time" (2013)
- On July 4, 2013 the ECB Governing Council provided more specific forward guidance than in the past by stating that it expects ECB interest rates to remain at present or lower levels for an extended period of time. As explained by ECB President Mario Draghi this expectation is based on the Council's medium-term outlook for inflation conditional on economic activity and money and credit. Draghi also stressed that there is no precise deadline for this extended period of time, but that a reasonable period can be estimated by extracting a reaction function. In this note, we use such a reaction function, namely the interest rate rule from Orphanides and Wieland (2013) that matches past ECB interest rate decisions quite well, to project the rate path consistent with inflation and growth forecasts from the survey of professional forecasters published by the ECB on August 8, 2013. This evaluation suggests an increase in ECB interest rates by May 2014 at the latest. We also use the Eurosystem staff projection from June 6, 2013 for comparison. While it would imply a longer period of low rates, it does not match past ECB decisions as well as the reaction function with SPF forecasts.

MONROE, La. (UPI) — Representative Vance McAllister (R-La.), who campaigned on his strong family values, has acknowledged an affair with a married member of his staff.
McAllister's indiscretion became public when a security video from his office in Monroe, La., was leaked to a newspaper. The footage showed a man resembling McAllister in a passionate clinch with a married staffer in his district office.
McAllister, in an interview with the (Monroe) News-Star, said he will not resign. He said he would run for a full term in November "unless there is an outcry for me not to serve."
McAllister said he has apologized to his wife and children. He responded "Absolutely" when asked if this is the first time he has cheated.
"I have fallen short as a husband and a father, and I feel more ashamed than you can imagine," the 40-year-old said. "I've asked them for forgiveness, and I'm asking forgiveness from my constituents who elected me to serve them."
Adam Terry, McAllister's chief of staff, said the staffer, Melissa Anne Hixon Peacock, 33, has stopped working for the Congressman since the video surfaced.
McAllister, who grew up in northern Louisiana, made a fortune in oilfield technology, pipeline construction, oil and gas leasing, wrestling promotion and other businesses. He became involved in politics when he entered a crowded field last year for a special election to replace Representative Rodney Alexander, who had resigned to join Governor Bobby Jindal's cabinet.
The politically unknown McAllister finished second in the primary to Republican State Senator Neil Riser and then won the runoff with 60 percent of the vote. He had support from the Robertson family of "Duck Dynasty" fame.
McAllister ran as a Washington outsider and also as a devout Christian with strong family values.

Oak Shade on the "Gatchell Road" formerly had a store and post office, and at Spring Hill, famous for its marvelous spring and a half mile west, a wheelwright shop, which later also became Oak Shade. Dr. Miller gave a site for a community chapel in 1893. Mrs. Keylor of Colerain Baptist paid the debt. It was used by the latter, as well as by Union and Little Britain Presbyterians and Quakers, but soon became Baptist exclusively. Rev. George Widdowson took a special interest in it but it finally closed.
On a frosty morning in January, 1923, Abram L. Huber of Willow Street contacted William McCardell near the chapel. He invited him to use the chapel, for the pastor had left years before, financially starved, and the flock scattered. John W. Weaver, Mission Board field worker, opened services in November. In July, 1926, Abram L. Huber opened Sunday School as superintendent; by 1925, John F. Bressler, was given ministerial oversight with the Mechanic Grove ministry. By 1930, the work was discontinued, to be opened again on May 14, 1933, with 55 pupils present. Enos B. Myer began as super- intendent under the Mechanic Grove ministry. On July 14, 1946, Ray S. Yost became the first local pastor. Monroe G. Peifer was the only deacon; for ten years he has been in the southwest Alabama mission field. At least 20 from the community have become baptized mem-bers. Harry M. Brenneman was the last to be ordained. The mem-bership is 34, the Sunday School averages 45, and Summer Bible School 100. The building was remodeled in 1962 giving desirable ac-commodations for the congregation so as to best serve the community.

1952-53 in New Zealand
South Africa's superiority was never in doubt in this series. Jackie McGlew, opening the innings, struck an unbeaten 255 - his highest Test score - which drove the tourists to a colossal 524 for 8 declared. John Watkins' medium-pace swing and Hugh Tayfield's offspin proved dangerous and the home side capitulated for 172 in both innings. The second Test was drawn, not helped by the pitch which was slow, low and "discouraging to stroke production" as Wisden recalls, allowing South Africa a series victory.
New Zealand 0 South Africa 1
1953-54 in South Africa
New Zealand toured South Africa for a five-match series. South Africa got off to a strong start at Durban, crushing New Zealand by an innings and 58 runs to record their first win at home for 23 years. Although the tourists won the series convincingly 4-0, it was remembered for a magnificent innings of 80 not out by Bert Sutcliffe in Johannesburg, in a match which spanned Christmas. The New Zealanders, devastated by news of a train crash back home which killed 151 people, went into bat. The pitch was fiery, Neil Adcock sending Lawrie Miller and Sutcliffe to hospital. Sutcliffe, who was struck on his helmet-less head, returned when his side were 81 for 6. Pale, with his head in a bandage, he batted with controlled, graceful violence, smashing seven sixes to help his side avoid the follow-on. Capitulation came, almost inevitably, in the second innings when they were bundled out for just 100 to lose by 132 runs.
South Africa 4 New Zealand 0
1961-62 in South Africa
New Zealand won their first Tests overseas, drawing the series 2-2, led by John Reid who scored 546 runs. With South Africa winning the first Test, and drawing the second, New Zealand fought back strongly to win the third at Cape Town, where Frank Cameron and Jack Alabaster, supported by some brilliant fielding, ran through the South Africans who fell short of their target of 408 runs. Eddie Barlow, who died in December 2005, made his debut in this series and was described by Wisden as "an opening bat who revealed an all-too-rare and refreshing desire to attack...[The] bespectacled lad has undoubtedly come to stay."
South Africa 2 New Zealand 2
1963-64 in New Zealand
Attempts by anti-apartheid demonstrators to damage the pitch failed to prevent the first Test from starting on time. The pitch was too low and slow for New Zealand to confidently set about their run-chase of 268 and the match ended in a draw. Bowlers dominated the second Test, with Frank Cameron and Bob Blair bowling accurately to defy the South Africans from reaching their target of 65 in 23 minutes. Eddie Barlow continued the same fine form he displayed during South Africa's tour of Australia with a pair of fifties in the third Test which ought to have set the tourists up nicely for victory. New Zealand struggled in pursuit of 309, falling to 185 for 8 before Artie Dick found a useful partner in Bob Cunis, who together staved off defeat.
New Zealand 0 South Africa 0
1994-95 in South Africa
This was New Zealand's third tour of South Africa, and first for 33 years. Although they started excellently, winning the first Test, the tour ended on a sour note with three of the squad - Matthew Hart, Dion Nash, Stephen Fleming - suspended for smoking cannabis. They also failed to win one of their six one-day internationals in the quadrangular Mandela Trophy. The first Test, at Johannesburg, was a convincing win for New Zealand who rattled up 411, which turned out to be a decisive total on a wearing pitch. Hart, the left-arm spinner, used the rough cleverly to take 5 for 77 in South Africa's second innings, as the hosts lost 7 for 39 before lunch on the final day to lose by 137 runs. The second Test highlighted the batting faults of New Zealand who, in a low-scoring game, were twice dismissed for under 200. Fanie de Villiers, with match figures of 55.2-17-120-8, was South Africa's hero but, as Wisden recalls, it was South Africa's "collective spirit and aggression [that] had been too much for New Zealand, whose decline now looked terminal". South Africa's increasingly aggressive approach proved too much for New Zealand in the third Test, too, and they won the series 2-1.
South Africa 2 New Zealand 1
1994-95 Centenary Test
South Africa spoilt New Zealand's planned celebrations for their centenary of cricket, by sneaking a victory at Auckland. Hansie Cronje's enticing declaration just before lunch on the fifth day, having made 101 himself, left New Zealand needing 275 to win in 63 overs. When Ken Rutherford fell for 56, South Africa sniffed a chance with Allan Donald and Fanie de Villiers bundling out the hosts for 181 to win by 93 runs.
1998-99 in New Zealand
Although encouraged by their win over India earlier in the year, New Zealand supporters were rightfully wary of a strong and energetic South African team. The home side weren't to be overawed, though. Despite the absence of their three key players to injury - Chris Cairns, Stephen Fleming and Craig McMillan - a 1-0 loss wasn't what South Africa deserved. New Zealand's resistance was admirable but two placid pitches - plus the weather at Christchurch - caused South Africa more trouble than the opposition. Darryl Cullinan's 152 in the final Test - to add to his 275 in the first Test - allowed South Africa to cruise past New Zealand's pithy total of 222. The home side fared slightly better in the second innings thanks to 62 from Nathan Astle, but even he couldn't resist the forever-probing lines of Shaun Pollock and, the Man of the Match, Steve Elworthy.

2000-01 in South Africa
South Africa swept to a 2-0 series victory against a weak New Zealand, and a threadbare bowling attack. Shayne O'Connor, Daryl Tuffey and debutant Chris Martin totalled just 15 Tests between them, and of those only O'Connor had any wickets to his name. Contrast this with two of South Africa's golden boys, Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock who went into the first Test with 483 between them. South Africa powered their way to 471 for 9 declared. Inevitably, Pollock and Donald starred with the ball, restricting New Zealand to 229 and causing them to follow on; the home side knocked off the required 101 runs, although not without alarm, losing five wickets in the process. The visitors threatened a stronger performance in the second Test, thanks largely to an innings of 150 from Matt Sinclair - but they crumbled in their second innings losing their last three wickets in under four overs.

2003-04 in New Zealand
A jaded South Africa failed to live up to their billing as the second-best one-day and Test side during the 2003-04 tour; New Zealand, however, proved to be a competent and tough team to beat. It also saw the coming of age of two players: Jacob Oram for New Zealand, and Jaques Rudolph for South Africa. Heavy rain caused the first Test pitch to play low and slow. Having bowled excellently in South Africa's first innings, Oram then proceeded to caress his first Test hundred, an unbeaten 119, but the match petered out into a draw. The second Test at Auckland was won by New Zealand - their first victory in 13 home Tests against South Africa. Having watched Graeme Smith and Herschelle Gibbs put on 177 for the first wicket, New Zealand fought back through Chris Martin (6 for 76), and their batsmen: Scott Styris (170) and Chris Cairns (158) gave the home side a huge, matchwinning first-innings lead of 299. Martin, though expensive in the second innings, took another five-wicket haul to give New Zealand victory by nine wickets. In a relatively low-scoring final match at Wellington, South Africa bounced back superbly to level the series. Martin again bowled well, picking up another five wickets, but Nicky Boje's eight wickets in the match, and a classy, unbeaten 125 from Smith, enabled South Africa to remain undefeated against New Zealand in a Test series.

2005-06 in South Africa
Coming off the back of a 3-0 home whitewash against Australia, South African spirits were low when New Zealand arrived. But a 4-0 victory in the one-day series, with Andre Nel (7 wickets at 23.85) and Makhaya Ntini (8 at 16.75) proving an irresistible combination, put them back on track against less demanding opponents. However, New Zealand responded to the drubbing with a strong start to the first Test, largely thanks to an extraordinary hundred from Jacob Oram to hand them a first-innings lead, in spite of 5 for 94 from Ntini who was brimming with verve and confidence. But New Zealand's tail-end heroics in the first innings amounted to little come the second. Chasing 249 they were shot out for 120, again falling to Ntini who took ten in the match. The second Test dribbled into a dull draw owing to weather (and a pitch which fooled everyone) before Ntini tore into New Zealand in the third Test with another five-for. A cultured 60 from Daniel Vettori in the second innings set South Africa a tricky 217 to win and, in spite of threatening to make a mess of it, Ashwell Prince saw them home with a patient 43.

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
March 28, 2003Lee County-- There is a new television show in Southwest Georgia. The stars are children whose parents are serving in the military, both at home and in Iraq.
Meet Hannah and her dad Joel.
"Gunnery Sgt. Helm is going to tell us what he does."
"Thanks Hannah. Hello boys and girls."
Gunnery Sgt. Joel Helm and his daughter Hannah are taping a segment of "KPS Pride." It's a two-minute closed circuit television show that airs each morning at Kinchafoonee Primary School.
"I hope it gives them pride in military, that is what I would like to instill, is pride." Media Specialist Debbie Dorminy runs the show, inviting each student with a parent in the military to tape a segment.
"Continuing with our KPS Pride series you are going to meet another man in the military"
That marine is Major Phil Millerd--and today, his children, Sebastian and Anastasia, are telling their school mates all about their dad. Sebastian says, "His job is to coordinate the movement of equipment for the Marines to use."
Major Millerd was called to active duty in January--and his children say there is one thing they miss most, "How he use to give me piggy back rides before I went to bed."
While Sebastian and Anastasia's dad is not at home, Hannah's dad is--and she is very happy about that. Hannah tells the school, "I am Hannah Helm and this is my dad", then gives him a big hug.
Kinchafoonee Primary School has a ten minute newscast in the morning. "KPS Pride" airs for two minutes during the news.
