Consumer Confidence in U.S. Dropped to 49.3 in June From 54.8Confidence among U.S. consumers slipped unexpectedly in June, reflecting a weak labor market.
The Conference Board's sentiment index decreased to 49.3 from a revised 54.8 in May, the New York-based research group said today. The figure was still above a record low of 25.3 reached in February. Another report showed home prices fell at a slower pace in April than in the previous month.
Recent jumps in the stock market, smaller job losses and government efforts to restore the flow of credit and prop up incomes are brightening some consumers' outlooks and allowing them to spend even as unemployment rises. Still, firms have been slow to start hiring again and the wealth destruction caused by the housing slump is forcing Americans to rebuild savings.
"The optimism that started to build over the last few months may be starting to fade," Michael Gregory, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets in Toronto, said before the report. "Labor markets are sort of stabilizing in terms of job losses, but the big issue is people are having a hard time finding a job."
Economists forecast confidence would rise to 55.3 from 54.9 in the prior month, according to the median of 70 forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey. Estimates ranged from 51.5 to 60.
A report from S&P/Case-Shiller earlier today showed home prices in 20 U.S. metropolitan areas fell a less-than-forecast 18.1 percent in April from the same month last year.
The Conference Board's measure of present conditions decreased to 24.8 from 29.7 the prior month. The gauge of expectations for the next six months fell to 65.5 from 71.5.
Jobs, Incomes
The share of consumers who said more jobs will be available in the next six months fell to 17.4 percent from 19.3 percent. The proportion of people who said they expect their incomes to rise over the next six months decreased to 9.8 percent from 10.8 percent.
The share of consumers who said jobs were plentiful now fell to 4.5 percent from 5.8 percent. Those saying jobs were hard to get increased to 44.8 percent from 43.9 percent.
Today's confidence figures run counter to other reports. The Reuters/University of Michigan final index of consumer sentiment for June rose to 70.8, the highest level in more than a year.
Economists say the Conference Board's index tends to be more influenced by attitudes about the labor market.
The Labor Department is scheduled to release its June payrolls report on July 2. The U.S. probably lost 363,000 jobs in June, compared with a 345,000 drop a month earlier, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The unemployment rate, already at the highest level in more than 25 years, likely increased to 9.6 percent, the survey said.
Consumer Spending
Consumer spending rose in May as benefits from the Obama administration's stimulus plan spurred a jump in American incomes, a sign that efforts to revive the economy are starting to pay off. The 0.3 percent increase in purchases was the first gain in three months, the Commerce Department said June 26 in Washington. Earnings climbed 1.4 percent, the most in a year, driving the savings rate to a 15-year high.
On a quarterly basis, consumer spending rose in the first three months of the year at a 1.4 percent rate after falling in the last half of 2008 by the most since 1980, according to revised figures from Commerce on June 25.
Recent data shows the housing market stabilizing at a low level. Sales of existing homes rose for a second straight month in May, marking the first back-to-back gain since 2005, according to the National Association of Realtors.
The Mortgage Bankers Association's index of applications to purchase homes has risen in six of the past eight weeks.
Retail Incentives
Some retailers continue to offer incentives in a bid to maintain customers. Sears Holdings Corp., the largest U.S. department-store chain, said yesterday it will let customers who lose their jobs suspend payments and keep appliances bought with store credit cards.
Customers who spend at least $399 on appliances and related merchandise between July 6 and Aug. 1 will have one-twelfth of the purchase price credited to their account for every month they're out of work, said Larry Costello, a company spokesman. Those who are jobless for more than a year will have the full debt forgiven, he said.
"We thought this would be a way to get folks to jump in where they'd been a little reluctant," Doug Moore, president of Sears's home-appliance unit, said in a telephone interview.

Texts in Elementary Classrooms by James V. Hoffman
Book DescriptionThis CIERA sponsored book is based on the premise that high-quality texts of all kinds are essential to good teaching in elementary classrooms. Experts on a variety of text-related topics were asked to summarize existing research and then apply it to literacy development in an "ideal" classroom. The most comprehensive and up-to-date book in its field, it moves progressively from an examination of discrete literacy processes and forms to a holistic overview and assessment of the classroom literacy environment. Content coverage in this outstanding new book includes: *Literacy Processes--Part I examines basic reading processes (instruction, comprehension, word recognition, fluency, and motivation) as they relate to text features. *Forms of Texts--Part II examines the wide variety of text types (fiction, nonfiction, leveled, local, and electronic) that comprise an effective classroom literacy program. Discussions include the nature of these texts, their qualities and quantities, how they fit into an instructional plan, and how a teacher might assess their effectiveness. *Text Selection--Part III examines special issues (linguistic diversity and teachers as censors) related to the selection of classroom texts. *Personal Applications--The final, hands-on chapter synthesizes the book's ideas and offers practical tools (checklists and inventories) whereby teachers can self-assess the literacy environment of their own classrooms. This book is suitable for anyone (graduate students, in-service reading specialists and curriculum directors, college faculty, and researchers) who deal directly with issues of classroom literacy.

How many condoms do you have stored? Whatever number you put back it it won't be enough if you have kids who will one day have kids. If your a young couple I doubt you'll have enough, and if you're a man with a woman who is pre-menopausal you probably won't have enough either.
This is not to imply that a societal collapse should stop reproduction, but it's likely you will not want to be bringing a new baby into such a chaotic situation, and to prevent that you either abstain or use birth control.
Humans have sex, make love, get laid, whatever you want to call it for a wide variety of reasons. Reproduction, lust, love, comfort and stress release are just a few of them. In a post-collapse situation, as unsavoury as it might be to consider there is also the possibility of sex being used as payment, or demanded as payment by both men and women and as you may not know the person you don't know their sexual history.
Sexually transmitted diseases will be rife, just as they have always been rife in any type of collapse, as people seek one of the few comforts left or seek to trade sex for food, shelter or whatever else it is that they require at that point. Condoms are the only thing standing between you and a STD that can rapidly turn into a debilitating infection that in the long term could affect your chance of survival.
In the case of HIV which is treatable with drugs to the point where life expectancy is not reduced if its caught early enough, we will revert to the pre-drug days when HIV turns into AIDS and at that point a minor infection or even a cold can kill as the immune system is too weak to fight back. There will also be an explosion in the number of cases as unprotected sex leads to more and more cases of infection.
For those in stable relationships the risk of infection is massively reduced, or even nullified if both partners have remained faithful but the effect of having a child in such circumstances is something not to be taken lightly when the world is falling part and medical help is most likely unavailable.
Do you have a history of difficult/premature births?
Do you have any knowledge about how to deliver a baby?
Do you have a means of feeding a baby if for some reason you can't breast feed ?
Do you have enough food in our stores to feed another mouth?
Do you have the ability to clothe that child as it grows?
Will having a baby hamper your ability to move quickly if required?
Will having a baby affect your OPSEC? (Crying)
These are just some of the questions you need to think about before conceiving a child. Your personal circumstances may well throw up many more.
Of course if you are holed up in a well protected rural retreat with a variety of companions, one or more of whom have a medical background many of the issues may well not apply. Let's face facts though, most people will not be in such a situation.
Under normal circumstances nowhere near all pregnancies are planned but for many people planning when to have a child is the first step towards parenthood. In any kind of crisis situation planning is the key to survival and pregnancy, like every other scenario is something that needs to be thought about very carefully.

The author of Ragtime, City of God, and The Book of Daniel has given us a magisterial work with an enormous cast of unforgettable characters: white and black, men, women, and children, unionists and rebels, generals and privates, freed slaves and slave owners. At the center is General Sherman himself; a beautiful freed slave girl named Pearl; a Union regimental surgeon, Colonel Sartorius; Emily Thompson, the dispossessed daughter of a Southern judge; and Arly and Will, two misfit soldiers.
Almost hypnotic in its narrative drive, The March stunningly renders the countless lives swept up in the violence of a country at war with itself. The great march in E.L. Doctorow's hands becomes something more, a floating world, a nomadic consciousness, and an unforgettable reading experience with awesome relevance to our own times.
Enjoy The March? Listen to an interview with E.L. Doctorow on The Bob Edwards Show.
©2005 E.L. Doctorow; (P)2005 Random House, Inc. Random House Audio, a division of Random House, Inc.
"In this powerful novel, Doctorow gets deep inside the pillage, cruelty and destruction, as well as the care and burgeoning love that sprung up in their wake....On reaching the novel's last pages, the reader feels wonder that this nation was ever able to heal after so brutal, and personal, a conflict." (Publishers Weekly)
"Doctorow at His Best"
I haven't enjoyed a Doctorow novel this much since I first read Ragtime. The structure is similar: the story is told from the points of view of a diverse group of characters who have one thing in common, their participation--willing or unwilling--in events surrounding Sherman's march. The characterizations were fascinating. Someone mentioned his atittude towards Sherman was hostile, but I didn't read it that way. In fact, he tempered it with Sherman's sadness about his son's death and his subsequent sympathy for other children and for parents who have also lost children. And he seems to have a moment of insight when he meets Johnston near the end of the novel. I loved Pearl and Stephen Walsh, Calvin, Sartoris, Arly--all of whose lives had been changed forever by the experience of war--some for the better, others much worse. A solid and engaging work.
"great narration"
narrator brought the book to life. excellent
Doctorow is a wonderful story teller. The paths of the characters flow, and his language is very satisfying. One of my favorite purchases so far.
This audiobook is simply amazing in its ability to bring history to vivid, compelling life. The narrators do an excellent job, and the writing is Doctorow's best since Ragtime. I highly recommend this audiobook.
I really enjoyed this book. It made me want to learn more about Sherman's March.
"The Civil War Marches On"
This is a very good book but it is long and I am exhausted after marching, burning, and plundering across the South; I am ready to end the war as soon as possible but the characters are fascinating and they are hard to let go.
"Merely a B"
I agree with another reviewer that although the book is pretty good entertainment as a listen, I could never have gotten through it as a read. I found the historical aspects interesting, but the characters and plot line were not compelling. It reminded me a little of a made-for-TV miniseries.
"Must listen for Civil War Buffs"
I scoff up every historical novel about the civil war I can get my hands on, but this is the absolute creme of the crop. It's about the civil war, but its more about the people who fought it, from the drummer boy up to the generals. Don't miss this one. It is a wonderful experience.
"Not his best"
A difficult subject to tackle because of the geographic spread of the action and the constraints of audio in following the action. Built into this genre is the uncertainty over who is an historic personage and who is a purely fictional character. I like Doctorow and thought City of God, Billy Bathgate wonderful novels. The writing in The March was not as rich as in City of God, but it was more than adequate to render the characters and the action. A problem was the absence of historic context - just what was happening elsewhere in the war, what was Grant doing, how important was Sherman's victories, etc.
One final caveat: Joe Morton's narration was not good enough. When de does the characters he's fine; but when he reads the narrator's voice it was dull and not properly inflected in too many places.
In a peaceful, verdant valley on the Equator, the sun always sets at 6, and a good audiobook is always the perfect evening companion
"Out of the Shadows of History"
Most people know, at least in a general sense, about the scorched-earth horrors of William Tecumseh Sherman's March to the Sea. But now this pivotal time toward the end of the American Civil War takes on a new and often disturbing life.
E.L. Doctorow has given it a face. Actually, many faces. Joe Morton gives it voices.
The effect is riveting.

After months of waiting and legislative negotiating, the Wisconsin Assembly and Senate are poised to approve a compromise budget bill today (Tuesday). So it was fortuitous that Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Secretary Roberta Gassman was in New Richmond Monday night as part of the New Richmond Area Chamber of Commerce's "Business After 5" event. Much of her short presentation to those who were gathered there surrounded the budget agreement reached Friday by Gov. Jim Doyle and legislative leaders. "It took a lot of compromise and it took a lot of hard work," she said.
Brenda and Terry Hanson are going back to their career roots. The couple is opening a new full-service meat market in New Richmond, named T's Meat Market. They plan to open the doors at the business, located at 110 W. North Shore Drive, by Oct. 25. The long-time Andersen Windows employees began thinking about their own business after Brenda was permanently laid off from her job last year. The couple had been involved in the local grocery business years ago.
Cheryl Arne hopes to become the next Rachael Ray, television's newest cooking show star. All Arne needs is a little break, and she might have gotten that TV career jump start last week. The part-time chef at Bellarietta Bistro in New Richmond was listening to the radio Tuesday, Oct. 9, when she heard about an open casting call being conducted by the Food Network that day. She had until 4 p.m.
Westfields Sleep Clinic helps patients cure apnea problems Kirk Lindell routinely fell asleep in front of the television watching the morning news. He usually had a cup of coffee in his hands in an unsuccessful effort to jolt himself awake. "I just thought it was part of getting older," Lindell said of his persistent sleepiness. "And I thought getting old stunk.
Developer David McNutt thought he'd worked out issues of concern among neighbors near his planned high-density housing project on Paperjack Drive. He found out last week that the apparent agreement was just the calm before the storm. McNutt, with MC2 Partners, LLC of Lakeville, Minn., met with representatives of the Paperjack Creek Twinhome Estates Homeowners Association after the New Richmond Plan Commission tabled his plans at its September meeting.
Should New Richmond pursue an innovative low-income housing program when so many existing homes are already for sale in the community? That question is at the center of an ongoing debate among City officials, homeowners and local realtors. After an initial proposal to convert City land into a low- to moderate-income housing development was nixed last month, Housing Director Jessa Nelson has been studying another new idea. She's working with local developers on a plan to have existing home lots throughout the community donated into the program.
The bids are in, and New Richmond's new elementary school that will soon be under construction is under budget. Early cost estimates predicted an overall cost for the project at $15.95 million.
The numbers are in, and enrollment in New Richmond schools didn't quite reach the level of pre-referendum predictions. The "third Friday" enrollment count is the official number sent to the state of Wisconsin to help the state determine the District's aid level. At Thursday's School Board meeting, Superintendent Morrie Veilleux reported that enrollment for kindergarten through 12th grade came in at 2,720.
Traffic was diverted for more than an hour along Highway 65 in Roberts after a passenger vehicle and truck collided at the intersection of Highway 65 and County Road TT. The truck, owned by St. Croix Insulation of Hudson, flipped over on its side. The accident scene was handled with care as firefighters were concerned about potentially hazardous materials inside the truck. Emergency crews from Roberts, Hammond, Baldwin and New Richmond responded to the scene around 1:30 p.m. The driver of the car was treated for minor injuries, but it didn't appear to be serious.
Star Prairie Township will soon become a popular destination for motorcycle and ATV racers from across the nation. The new Amsoil Sandbox Arena adjacent to Cedar Lake Speedway opened Monday, Oct. 1. "It's crunch time," said Donnie Vincent, co-owner of the motor sports arena, as workers scurried to put the finishing touches on the building. Tons of dirt have been moved inside the motocross facility, which is as big as Wal-Mart and touting 116,800 square feet of space.

Twishing is the act of sending a message to a Twitter user in an attempt to obtain his or her name and password. The message may instruct the recipient to visit a Web site where he or she is asked to log in. The Web site, however, is bogus and set up only to steal the user's information.
Twishing is Like Phishing
Twishing is a combination of the words Twitter and phishing. The idea is that bait is given out. The concept behind the term phishing to Twitter users with the hopes that while most will ignore the bait, a small percentage will be tricked into revealing their user names and passwords.

Reducing Global Poverty by Barry B. Hughes
Book DescriptionThis is the first volume in an ambitious new series-"Patterns of Potential Human Progress"-inspired by the UN Millennium Development Goals (MGDs) and other initiatives to improve the global condition. The first and most fundamental of these goals-reducing poverty worldwide-is the focus of this book. Using the large-scale computer program called International Futures (IFs) developed over three decades at the prestigious University of Denver Graduate School of International Studies, this book explores the most extensive set of forecasts of global poverty ever made-providing a wide range of scenarios based on an authoritative array of data. It transcends the "$1 a day" baseline measure of poverty and probes important concepts like income poverty gaps and relative poverty. The forecasts are long-term, looking 50 years into the future, far beyond the 2015 date set out by the MDGs. They are geographically rich, spanning the entire globe and drilling down to the country level, including one of the most important global focal points, India. The poverty forecasts in this book, and all the volumes in the series, are fully integrated in perspective across a wide range of human development arenas including demographics, economics, politics, agriculture, energy, and the environment. Full of colorful, thoughtfully designed graphs, tables, maps, and other visual presentations of data and forecasts, this large-format inaugural volume ensures that the "Patterns of Potential Human Progress" series will become an indispensable resource for every development professional, student, professor, library, and indeed, country around the world.

Researchers in the Netherlands have taken a somewhat different tack in designing a worksite wellness program that produces positive results. Instead of emphasizing lifestyle changes to reduce health risks and absenteeism, the Dutch program has focused on improving the work environment.
Implementation of the program at a Dutch company that manufactures household goods began in 1990. For the next 3 years, researchers from Leiden University tracked results from interventions that included reorganization of a production line, the addition of leadership training, and an increased team approach in the production process. Some more traditional interventions also were used: health education sessions, healthier foods served in the company cafeteria, and an on-site exercise facility. The study included 134 employees in the intervention group and 130 controls.

Liberal Democrats leader Nick Clegg is giving nothing away about which party he will support in a hung British parliament, as the opposition Conservatives win the most seats in the country's election but fall short of claiming an outright majority.
Conservative leader David Cameron says the ruling Labour party "had lost the mandate to govern", while his main rivals stress Britain's constitution gave prime minister Gordon Brown the right to try to form a government first.
Mr Clegg has warned both parties against making claims that "don't stand the test of time".
With 615 seats out of 650 reported, the Conservatives had 290 seats against Labour's 247. The Tories have picked up 91 seats but the swing is not enough to give them an overall majority.
As it stands, Mr Brown would struggle to form a government with the help of the third-placed Liberal Democrats since their combined forecast seats would still be short of a majority in parliament.
The Liberal Democrats, who had been expected to perform strongly on the back of Mr Clegg's performances in the leaders' debates, have at least 51 seats - surprisingly down six.
Mr Clegg said it had been a "disappointing" night despite increasing his own majority in the constituency of Sheffield Hallam.
"This has obviously been a disappointing night for the Liberal Democrats. We simply haven't achieved what we had hoped," he said.
"I think we conducted a positive campaign full of hope, full of optimism, which I think did engage a lot of people in the election, even if they didn't then go on to vote for the Liberal Democrats."
Mr Clegg gave nothing away about which party he would support, saying the final election result "is still a little unpredictable - people have voted but no one appears to have won emphatically".
"I don't think anyone should rush into making claims or taking decisions which don't stand the test of time," he said.
"I think it would be best if everybody were just to take a little time so that people get the good government that they deserve in these very difficult and uncertain times."
Earlier, Mr Cameron tried to grab the momentum for the Conservatives by insisting Britain was crying out for "new leadership".
"We have to wait for the full results to come out, but I believe it is already clear that the Labour government has lost its mandate to govern our country," he said after being re-elected to his seat of Witney with a 6 per cent swing.
""What is clear from these results is that the country, our country, wants change. That change is going to require new leadership."
The highest-profile loser of the election was Jacqui Smith, Britain's first female home secretary, who was forced to stand down after revelations that her husband claimed two pornographic films and a bath plug on her parliamentary expenses account.
She lost her seat to the Tories with a 9 per cent swing against her.
The far-right British National Party fought hard but its leader, Nick Griffin, came third in his constituency and the Labour candidate increased her majority.
And in an election where bellwether seats went to Labour and it was hard to make sense of it all, in the coastal constituency of Brighton Pavilion, Caroline Lucas managed to secure the first Green seat at Westminster.
"People are fed up with the tired old parties. They do want something new. They do want something different," she said.
"That's what the Greens were offering here and I really do believe it is the start of a new political force in Westminster."
For the first time the government bond markets opened at 1:00am on London's Future's Exchange.
With opinion polls pointing to the closest election race since 1992, traders were worried they would suffer big losses if prices moved against them in the middle of the night.
In 1992 government debt was mainly held by domestic pension funds and insurance companies. These days investors all over the world own $1.5 trillion worth of UK bonds.
The last time an election produced no overall government majority was in 1974 when Harold Wilson was forced to create a minority Labour government.
Mr Wilson had little choice but to go back to the country a few months later at which time he did secure a small majority.
An exit poll, which surveyed about 20,000 people out of about 45 million Britons eligible to vote, suggested the Conservatives were likely to win 305 seats and Labour 255 seats in the lower House of Commons, both short of the 326 needed for a majority.
But foreign secretary David Miliband says it is still possible for Labour to stay in power with the support of minor parties.
"If no party achieves an absolute majority then it has no moral right to an absolute monopoly of power," he said.
"Then in the situation where no party has achieved an absolute majority, the injunction from the voters is obviously to seek the next best solution, which is a government with a majority that spans more than one party."
Mr Brown's de facto deputy, Peter Mandelson, said Labour would "obviously" be prepared to consider an alliance with the Liberal Democrats, while another senior cabinet minister, Welsh secretary Peter Hain, said the prime minister was entitled to have first shot at trying to form a government.
Asked about a possible deal with the Liberal Democrats, Lord Mandelson told Sky News: "You don't have to sound quite so horrified. Obviously we would be prepared to consider that."
Mr Hain said he believed Mr Brown would try and form a "progressive majority" with the Liberal Democrats.
"As the incumbent prime minister, he's entitled to do that constitutionally. Precedent is on his side," he said.
Mr Brown himself also appeared to indicate he wanted to stay in power, raising the possibility of several uncertain days of horse-trading.
""The outcome of this country's vote is not yet known, but my duty to the country coming out of this election is to play my part in Britain having a strong, stable and principled government,"," he said.
"[A government] able to lead Britain into a sustained economic recovery and able to implement our commitments to far-reaching reform to our political system upon which there is a growing consensus in our country."
Polling problems
As voting got underway, queues started to form at polling booths all over the country. This election, more than most before it, had inspired many people to exercise their democratic right.
Turn-out is thought to be the highest for 20 years, reaching 77 per cent in some areas.
A number of polling stations were so overwhelmed they struggled to cope with the constant stream of voters.
It led to angry scenes in some constituencies where people were standing in the cold for hours only to be turned away when polls closed at 10:00pm (local time).
"It was terribly undemocratic and I think everyone's very angry," one voter said.
"We can't get into vote and we feel scandalised by this," said another.
Another voted added: "We're being disenfranchised and that's not on. This could make all the reason between somebody losing or winning."
Police were called to Mr Clegg's constituency of Sheffield Hallam.
Voters were annoyed that after accepting Mr Clegg's plea to make their voices heard, the shambolic nature of the system meant their votes could not be cast.
About 200 people went to the Clegg home to protest.
"I find it a bit ironic that it is in Nick Clegg's own constituency," one voter said.
Another said: "The irony is that we've spent, there's been British troops trying, dying in Afghanistan to get the Afghanis to vote and here, in the mother of democracies, they close the polls at 10 and lots and lots of people have been disenfranchised."
"And we didn't get an explanation why and nobody actually came out and told us that the polling station would be shut at 10," another voter said.
