North Carolina is first state to cut welfare amid federal shutdown
RALEIGH, North Carolina
RALEIGH, North Carolina (Reuters) - North Carolina has become the first state to cut off welfare benefits to poor residents in the wake of the partial federal government shutdown, ordering a halt to processing November applications until a deal is reached to end the federal standstill.
More than 20,000 people - most of them children - receive monthly benefits aimed at helping them buy food and other basic supplies through North Carolina's welfare program, called Work First, which is fully funded by the federal government. Recipients must reapply each month.
The state's Department of Health and Human Services told its local offices in a letter dated October 10 not to process applications for November benefits until the federal government reaches a deal to restore normal operations.
"We are heavily dependent on federal dollars," said Julie Henry, spokeswoman for the state HHS department. "When these kinds of things happen at the federal level, it has an immediate impact."
Other North Carolina programs funded through the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) grant also will be affected. That list includes childcare subsidies that cover more than 70,000 children and have already ceased being distributed in some parts of the state.
The federal agency that oversees TANF, the Office of the Administration for Children and Families, urged states to continue funding the program, saying in a letter that the states would be reimbursed unless Congress specifies otherwise.
Critics note that a state "rainy day fund" has $650 million for emergency use and say it's politics, not finances, that drives North Carolina's position on federal programs. The Work First program cost about $4.8 million for September in North Carolina.
"I would say this is an emergency," says Alexandra Sirota, director of the North Carolina Budget and Tax Center, which advocates for low-income citizens. "They're cutting off a lifeline for thousands of North Carolina families who have experienced significant hardships."
Last week, the same state department briefly planned to suspend WIC benefits, which supply baby formula and other staples to poor women with young children. That decision, also unique nationwide, was reversed a day later after the state budget director intervened to provide funds to keep it going.
Workers have been told to continue accepting the applications for November benefits but not to process them until the federal government shutdown ends.
The benefits are applied for and received on a rolling basis. There is no deadline for applying and no single day in which people receive the benefits. That said, anyone who applied for October before this week will receive their benefits.
The state of Arizona said earlier in October it would suspend TANF benefits, but reversed that decision. Governor Jan Brewer ordered that state funds be used to continue the program through October 31.

March until the politicians listen.
And next election remember who it was who cut you off during these difficult times.
Memorize their names. make a list and keep it on the fridge until the next elections.
Crash their fundraisers as these fat cats gather round their troughs.

Rated 5 out of 5?by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5?by Joy Eastridge Apartments review I've lived here since 2006, and plan to stay. This is an upscale property centrally located with easy access to grocery, library, public transportation and freeways (and only 15 minutes from ASU). It's a bit secluded (nice and quiet), so there is a suburban feel with the convenience of city life. The management office is always ready to handle the few issues I've had with maintenance (my bathroom fan was loud and they came out within 1 day and cleaned it). I've met and befriended a number of other residents (also long term tenants) and folks are quiet and professional; this is an in demand location and sometimes has a waiting list, but I would highly recommend this property. They have 2 swimming pools (1 of which is heated in our mild winters), 2 laundry buildings which are kept immaculately clean, a tennis court and several barbecue grills / picnic tables. There is a clubhouse available for wedding or baby shower reservations (at no charge), and computer access as well. I've never had any problems w/bugs (and I've never heard of anyone else having any, either), or ac issues, etc. and mgmt is really responsive to any questions or needs I have had over the years. The property is professionally landscaped I believe once a week and is always super clean. Overall, this is the best apartment complex in the larger Tempe area and I recommend you check it out.

VERNON, NY-Another huge holiday crowd filled the grandstands this past Sunday at the Utica-Rome Speedway and they didn't leave disappointed as another they were treated to another entertaining show that saw the champions in all four of the weekly four divisions crowned on Gates-Cole Associates and Turning Stone Casino and Resort night. Larry Wight came from deep in the Modified field to guide his new Troyer to another win while Jack Miller ended a long drought to score his first Sportsman win in 14 years. Glenn Forward made a late pass in the Pro Stocks to grab the win while Russ Marsden took the Pure Stock win.
The final regular season Modified feature kicked off Dave Allen and Brad Alger on the front row, and the drop of the green flag saw Alger jump out to the lead, with Willy Decker taking second from his fourth starting position. One lap later, third place starter Mike Bowman began to challenge Decker for the runner up spot. Mike Mahaney, who had started from on the inside of the fourth row, worked his way into the top five by lap four and was looking for more.
The following circuit, Mahaney tracked the top three cars and passed them all, taking the lead away. A caution came out on lap seven, slowing the pace down. Starting from the eighth spot right outside of Mahaney, Pat Ward began to make his own charge to the front as he was second on the lap seven caution period. On the ensuing restart, Ward battled with the rest of the top five, emerging in second on lap 10. He was being chased by Stewart Friesen who had moved into third at that point after starting 11th on the grid.
Another caution came out on lap 13, bringing Mahaney back to the rest of the field. When the green flag flew, Ward took to the outside in the first turn and took the lead. It was at this point when 13th place starter Larry Wight began to make his presence felt as he cracked the top five on lap 11 and was in fourth on the lap 13 caution. The restart saw Wight jump to the outside line and complete the pass on third place running Friesen and then running down Mahaney on the next lap and completing the pass on him a lap later. Ward tried to run away with the lead, but Wight was able to catch him by using the same groove that had propelled him to second. He pulled alongside of Ward on lap 17, battling for two laps for the lead before finally putting his teammate behind him.
Ward tried to fight back, diving low into each turn, but Wight still pulled away. He would hit lapped traffic on lap 22, but he navigated the slower cars easily and drove off to his first win of the season at the Vernon oval. Ward crossed the line next, followed by Mahaney, Friesen, and Todd Burley. The rest of the top ten was filled out by Jimmy Davis, Ryan Phelps, Decker, Mike Bowman, and Marc Johnson.
With Matt Sheppard was not in attendance because he was fulfilling his Super DIRTcar Series obligation, Stewart Friesen became the track champion by starting the event, collecting his fourth consecutive Utica-Rome Speedway Modified championship and the $10,000 that goes with the title. Friesen and Sheppard entered the night tied at the top of the standings.
At the start of the Sportsman 20 lap season finale, it was a three car battle for the lead at the drop of the green between Bobby Heinz, Robert Barker, and Chad Ray with Ray gaining the initial lead. Ray would remain the leader until lap five when 10th place starter Claude Hutchings Jr. would charge by. Hutchings looked like the man to beat as he began to pull away, but as the event passed the halfway point, ninth place starter Jack Miller began to reel him in. On lap 13, Miller made his bid for the top spot stick as he slipped underneath Hutchings to become the new leader. Despite some heavy lapped traffic and some late pressure from Hutchings, Jeremy Vunk, and Matt Janczuk, Miller was able to hang on to take the popular win with Hutchngs, Vunk, Janczuk, and Tye-Scott Rood trailing. It was Miller's first win since the 1999 season. With his fourth place finish, Janczuk was the Sportsman track champion for the third consecutive season.
Chris Carr, trying to shake off some bad luck from the previous week, grabbed the early lead in the Pro Stock main event as led the first half of the 20 lap event from his outside front row starting spot. A lap 10 caution and the ensuing restart saw 10th place starter Shawn Frost take over the lead where he remained until lap 14 when Bret Belden slipped by. From that point on, it was a three car battle for the win as Glenn Forward joined the fray, moving into the runner-up spot on lap 18. A lap later, Forward was all over the leader Belden as he attempted to take the lead and as the duo entered the fourth turn to take the one to go signal, contact was made between the two with Forward coming out as the leader. Forward would hang on for the win with Belden, Frost, Carr, and Tom Denton rounding out the top five. Tom Denton earned his seventh Utica-Rome Speedway Pro Stock championship with this being his second consecutive.
Pure Stock feature action saw Frank Hyatt grab the early lead from his fourth starting spot, and he would remain there until lap eight, when 12th place starter Russ Marsden would charge by to become the new leader. Marsden would lead the remainder of the 15 lap feature to score the win with Hyatt, Bill Mason, Ricky Breed, and Ron Hawker chasing. Hawker would be named the 2013 Pure Stock champion, his third consecutive and fourth overall.

Canon General / Re: TEN YEARS FROM NOW.« on: November 25, 2013, 09:16:55 PM »
2. Mirrorless will follow point and shoot cameras into the abyss of consumer cameras being replaced by camera phones.I think it will be 100% the opposite. DSLR's or medium format(which will then be easily available in DSLR sized cameras) will still be used by most pro's but by only very serious hobbyists(think Neuro, the guys on this board, etc.)... But nearly all the rebel, 70D, 6D market will be replaced by mirrorless cameras.
Yesterday was the day I made the move. I bought the a7 and will soon sell all my DSLR gear. I cannot imagine a reason to go back to DSLR's as long as the weight is nearly double an a7 sized camera and the size is much larger
I firmly believe this trend will continue.... Just imagine how excited people on this board will be when Canon makes a FF mirroless with good AF. Everyone on here will buy one as a backup, and most wont really need their DSLR anymore.... I don't.

Winderman: The "Take my Turkoglu, please" trade deadline
Mar 9, 2012, 7:30 PM EDT
The shame of the NBA trading deadline is that it does not follow the post-Christmas "Boxing Day" tradition of Canada and other countries, where you spend the day after sorting out the junk from the actual gifts. In the NBA, it remains an all-in-one process, which is why, in this space over the past few…

David Stern is so, so concerned about how players signing overseas might impact the players union. He is such an empathetic guy. Don't think there's anything self-centered about his comments at all.

London Calling: Nets land in England for weekend games

Feb 25, 2011, 3:58 PM EDT
There is — for the first time in recent memory — a palpable buzz about a New Jersey Nets game Friday. That's what bringing in a superstar can do. And the Nets got a superstar in Deron Williams. Knicks fans flip out at the idea, but the Nets got the better player, they bested the…

There was going to come a day when the Lakers missed Jordan Farmar, and that day has arrived. I'm serious. Hear me out. In all the talk of what is wrong with the Lakers (2-4 in their last six and the SKY IS FALLING!) has been some discussion of "are the Lakers athletic enough?" The…

Dec 1, 2010, 1:22 PM EDT

The Market Says Markit Is Full Of It: Global PMIs Are Painting An Unrealistically Rosy PictureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/23/2014 14:00 -0400
Why would one even look at a self-reported survey as an indicator of coincident activity: after all isn't it beyond obvious that every response will be full of confirmation bias and colored by the respondent's inherent optimism about the present and the future? Apparently it isn't, and neither is it obvious that for all business participants, hope dies last, something which always influences their responses. The problem is that in a world in which central banks have made a mockery of all other coincident signals, one has to dig very low. "We've used this measure less over the last couple of years as central banks have increasingly distorted the relationship between fundamentals and valuation" says Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid. And as Jim Reid shows in the table below, the various regional PMIs have so consistenly overshot in their expectations of where the manufacturing and service sector of a given country is throughout 2014, that not even the market believes, well, Markit.

What do an old German bank note, a current $100 bill, and an apple all have in common? The answer, according to ConvergEx's Nick Colas, is that these simple objects can tell us much about the current investment scene, ranging from Europe's economic challenges to the U.S. Federal Reserve's attempts to reduce unemployment. Colas takes an "object-ive" approach to analyzing the current investment landscape by describing 10 common items and how they shape our perceptions of reality. The other objects on our list: a hazmat suit, a house in Orlando, a barrel of oil, a Rolex watch, a butterfly, a heating radiator in Berlin, and a smartphone.

Somone Really Needs To Explain To Europe What "Austerity" MeansSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/23/2014 10:10 -0400
Remember Europe's "austerity", or rather,as we dubbed it, fauxterity? Of course, how could you forget: after all everything that is wrong with Europe is blamed not on government corruption and the complete lack of reform, enabled so gloriously by Goldman's custodian of Europe's money printer who would do "whatever it takes" to mask Europe's sad reality that without reform the continent is doomed, but on the intolerable, insufferbale imposition of hated, loathed austerity on Europe's insolvent nations. After all, how on earth are they all supposed to get out of their debt-induced depressions if they have to, gasp, cut their debt! So yeah, we get the propaganda. What we don't get is whether everyone in Europe is completely incapable of reading simple numbers, is atrocious at math, or simply doesn't understand the definition of austerity.

This Is How Caterpillar Just Blew Away Q3 EarningsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/23/2014 07:58 -0400
Moments ago, CAT, which is a major DJIA component, just reported blowaway EPS of $1.72, far above the $1.35 expected. How did it achieve this stunning number which has pushed DJIA futures higher by almost half a percent? Simple: first there was the usual exclusions, with "restructuring costs" adding back some $0.09 to the bottom line number. But the punchline was this: "In addition to the profit improvement, we have a strong balance sheet and through the first nine months of the year, we've had good cash flow. So far this year, we've returned value to our stockholders by repurchasing $4.2 billion of Caterpillar stock and raising our quarterly dividend by 17 percent," Oberhelman said." And here is just how the surge in buyback activity looked in comparison to Q3 2013...

Perhaps the most interesting question from late yesterday is just how did the Chinese PMI rebound from 50.4 to 50.2, when the bulk of its most important forward-looking components, New Orders, Output, New Export Orders, posted a material deterioration? When asked, not even Markit could provide an explanation that seemed remotely reasonable so we can only assume the headline was goalseeked purely for the kneejerk reaction benefit of various algos that only focus on the headline and nothing else. Luckily, we didn't have much time to ponder this quandary as a few hours later we got the latest batch of Eurozone PMI numbers.

Why It Better Not Snow This Winter, In One ChartSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/22/2014 08:05 -0400
It will be the plotline of scary stories parents tell their children for decades to come: in Q1 2014, the US economy was supposed to grow 3%... and then it snowed. This led to a -2% collapse in the world's largest economy. Yes, inconceivably heavy snowfall (in the winter), and frigid temperatures (in the winter), were the reason for a $100+ billion swing in US GDP. Well, as the following chart from DB's Torsten Slok shows, of the roughly $2 trillion in GDP the global economy is expected to grow in 2015, about 90% of that is expected to come from China and the US!

Subprime Bubble Pop 2.0? Department Of Financial Services Slams America's Largest Subprime ServicerSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/21/2014 13:57 -0400
In what may be a resounding echo of March 2006, moments ago the New York Superintendent of Financial Services said that Ocwen had engaged in abuses that could potentially harm hundreds of thousands of borrowers. As AP reports, the state regulator issued a letter Tuesday to Ocwen Financial Corp., documenting the same kinds of suspicious actions that worsened the housing crisis and the Great Recession.

A Closer Look Why Futures Bounced 30 Points Off The Lows On Today's ECB BTFD BailoutSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/21/2014 07:33 -0400
As commented previously, the reason for today's 30 point rip in emini futures from the lows hit just 4 hours ago, was a test of the ECB emergency BTFD service, today provided courtesy of Reuters which, just after the European close, gave what is ever more incorrectly called the "market" its dose of upward momentum ignition, when it reported that, in addition to the previously announced "private QE" which includes ABS and covered bond purchases, that Goldman's head of the European central bank would also go ahead and monetize corporate bonds, taking a step even further than the Fed, which at least is confined to public securities, and directly influencing private asset prices.

Latest Central Bank Sticksave Halts Futures Slide, Sends E-Mini Soaring After ECB Said "Looking To Buy Bonds"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/21/2014 06:41 -0400
To summarize: the S&P 500 is now almost 100 points higher from last Tuesday as the global central bank plunge protection team of first Williams and Bullard hinting at QE4, then ECB's Coeure "ECB buying to start in a few days", then China's latest $30 billion "targeted stimulus", then the Japanese GPIF hinting at a 25% stock rebalancing in the pension fund, and finally again the ECB, this time "buying of corporate bonds on secondary markets", rolls on and manages to send stocks into overdrive. Even as absolutely nothing has been fixed, as Europe is still tumbling into a triple-drip recession, as Emerging Markets are being slammed by a global growth slowdown and the US corporate earnings picture is as bleak as it gets. Because "fundamentals."

"It's Not Abenomics, It's The Weather" Japanese Econ Minister Admits Growth Is WeakSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/20/2014 20:21 -0400
Amid two (notably female) resignations this weekend (Justice Minister Matushima and Trade Minister Obuchi for alleged misuse of political funds), Abenomics tilt towards women as a pillar of the Japanese recovery is taking yet another blow, removing "one of his ways of distracting people from his less popular policies." However,it is Japan's Economy Minister, Akira Amari, that went full economic retard this weekend - having learned well from his wise American central-planning brethren. Rather than face reality that Abenomics currency devaluation printfest has crushed the consumer beyond all expectations (as we noted since the start and Goldman just admitted), he blames the weather for economic weakness: "including the effects of large typhoons and heavy rains in July and August, Japan's 3Q economic situation is probably not a strong recovery."

"Either You're The Butcher... Or The Cattle"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/20/2014 19:44 -0400
The common people are the cattle being led to slaughter. We are kept docile with incessant propaganda from the mainstream media; marketing messages to consume from Madison Avenue; filtered, adjusted, manipulated economic data fed to us by government agencies; an endless supply of iGadgets and other electronic distractions; government education designed to keep us ignorant; 24/7 reality TV on six hundred stations to keep us entertained; corporate toxic processed food to keep us obese and tame; and an endless supply of Wall Street supplied debt to keep us caged in our pens with no hope of escape. The butchers of the deep state have maintained control for decades, but we're entering a new era.
