I've only been to Blue Lemon once, and I don't think I got the full experience. Your soup looks amazing. I think I need to go back!
And speed dating?? You are brave! But it always calls for some good laughs ;)
Happy New Year!

Haha, love the giggle at the end! Fabulous. And that speed dating sounds totally awesome. I mean - a clown AND a goatee guy? Man, I just don't know how you survived all the awesomeness there.
Was the clown at least funny?

My new years was boring this year because I had to work but oh well. Was speed dating as bad as pictured in the movies? I mean when you said a professional clown I just pictured someone dressed normal telling you this then when he got up to walk away you see he wore the clown shoes lol. I shouldn't laugh but that's how I pictured it.

That would be Denver (Tebow? anyone) Can't win with no QB.
Barkevious? sounds like a Madden generator name.
I suppose if we don't resign Freeney and Jerry Hughes proves to not be able to handle the 3-4 either then a pass rusher is definitely a big need.

Sanchez is the starting QB.
Never heard of Mingo? I would do anything for him to end up in NY.

I don't follow college too closely, other then Wisconsin. And even then not that close.
I did see another mock a month or so ago with the Colts taking him number 1.

If we pick top 5 I'd rather take Tyler Wilson but, If we are giving Gabbert another year I could live with Amerson. Would prefer Johnathan Banks or Xavior Rhodes though.

I really don't see the Bengals taking a safety that high.
I believe that by April Knile Davis will be a first round pick, and he's a guy I would like.

Because of this, I watched a couple of video cuts on Jarvis Jones. There was a lot to like. Excellent pick for the Browns.

Holmes is good and Center is certainly a position of need but I would love to see William Gholston here. I think he can be a top flight 5-tech and we need as many as we can get.

I like the Bills pick just fine, and trading back really worked out for them in this situation. At least, assuming there's more to the trade with Baltimore than is listed in your description. I assume Buddy Nix wouldn't swap spots with Baltimore out of the goodness of his heart.

I really don't see the Bengals taking a safety that high.
I believe that by April Knile Davis will be a first round pick, and he's a guy I would like.
Do those picks work?

I like the Jefferson pick in the second more than I do the Hunt selection in the first. The Steelers have two former first rounders at DE along with Keisel and the selection of Ta'amu in the last draft fills the need at NT for the long term. With the way your board ended up in the first I actually wouldn't mind Rhodes there even though the Steelers do have a couple of young CBs in Curtis Brown and Cortez Allen that they have high hopes for.

It Cuts Both Ways: American Majority Deems Nanotechnology Immoral

A one thousand-year-old history lesson awaits those who would deem the cutting edge wicked
Damascus steel was forged using a process of carbon doping iron in a smelting and quenching process. This steel became famous almost a thousand years ago; it was said a Damascus sword would cut through falling silk, a rock, and then another piece of silk while still keeping its razor sharp edge.
The ability to make the Damascus steel was lost with the ages. Blademasters would often take the secret of the forging process to the grave rather than reveal its mysteries. Many were persecuted as heretics, others heralded as deities.
A study by a University of Wisconsin-Madison revealed that
more than 70% of 1,015 surveyed Americans deem nanotechnology morally repulsive
. Professor Dietram Scheufele attributes this repugnance for technology to American reliance on religion.
It's easy to say that perhaps the 1,000 Americans surveyed are just not that bright. Scheufele disagrees, stating, "They are rejecting it based on religious beliefs. The issue isn't about informing these people. They are informed."
Scheufele believes that Americans who disprove of nanotechnology do not want humans "playing God." That is, man manipulating structures of one nanometer, one billionth of a meter, is akin to God manipulating the forces of the universe.
In 2006 German researcher Peter Paufler discovered (with the aid of a sub-nanotechnology, the electron microscope) that a four hundred-year-old Damascus steel sword
gained its incredible properties from carbon nanotube structures within the blade's edge
. Fifteen years earlier NEC created the world's first synthetic nanotube. One year later it was awarded the patent for one of the sharpest materials on earth,
a plasma polished carbon nanotube blade
Science has always bordered on the fence of terrifying and mysterious. Civilization lost the secrets of Damascus steel making when then modern thinkers deemed it a practice of
deus ex hominis.
Attempting to describe the morality of natural phenomena leads to an exercise in natural fallacy. Not once, in the history of mankind, has science ever been proven immoral -- and conversely -- nor has it ever been proven moral either.
Will society deitize nano-researchers as modern day Damascus blademasters, or will it learn to look beyond the meta-ethics of natural phenomena for a change?
"We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone." -- Steve Jobs

Supporting Black Male Achievement in Education and Employment: The President's 2014 Budget
Apr 12, 2013
This week, President Obama released his Fiscal Year 2014 Budget. This proposal reflects the Administration's priorities to ensure a world-class education for all students, provide opportunities for employment, and build strong communities. The budget includes several areas of investment that could provide education and employment opportunities for black boys and young men along the age continuum from cradle to career. It also expands supports to low-income communities for revitalization, poverty reduction, increased jobs, and decreased violence.
This budget still has many hurdles to cross, and the outcome is far from certain. The proposed resources, however, are an indication that the President and his Administration understand the need to invest in our youth, the workforce, families, and distressed communities-even in the face of tough choices about reducing budget deficits.
It is important to recognize that these resource allocations alone are insufficient to fully address the large gaps in academic achievement and employment for black youth, or the number of communities that need to be strengthened and rebuilt. In particular, there is a need for far greater investment in older black youth who have been disconnected from school or work. Many of the increased investments reflected in this budget are for competitive grant programs that serve a small number of states or communities. And in some cases, the mandatory or formula program allocations do not reflect the large numbers of youth and their families that we know are in need. Still, we view the resources in this budget as an opportunity to do more than was done in the past to impact outcomes for black males, particularly those in high-poverty communities.

CHICAGO -- The National Automatic Merchandising Association reports that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is in the process of launching a revision to the Energy Star specification for refrigerated beverage vending machines.
Called Version 3.0, the new specification is scheduled to take effect in August of this year, together with the new federal minimum efficiency standard established by the U.S. Department of Energy for refrigerated beverage vending machines. NAMA explained that, depending on the machine type, these standard levels are equal to or more stringent than current Energy Star Version 2.1 requirements, which have been effective since July 2007.
While the EPA's revised specification does present an opportunity for the Energy Star program to deliver additional energy savings (especially for vending machines using environmentally harmful HFC-based refrigerant), it may have the effect of excluding vending machines cooled with more environment-friendly CO2-based refrigerant, NAMA explained. Many vending machines with CO2 refrigerant are now in the early stages of development, and the necessary components to optimize those refrigeration systems are not commercially available. "Thus, manufacturers could be prevented from receiving the Energy Star designation for machines that are more environment-friendly," the association pointed out.
EPA has sought input from industry stakeholders on the new specification, and NAMA has submitted comments that describe the impact of the more stringent standards on the industry, outline manufacturing trends and offer suggestions for including CO2 refrigeration technology in the Energy Star program.
Information may be had from NAMA's regional legislative director, Sheree Edwards, at email@example.com.

season 3 episodes
The kiss Dani had with Nico has led to a wonderful night together, but the cocoon of romance is shattered when they arrive at the V3 office and the mysterious Alex Careles is there. Alex is not only a woman but also Nico's wife. Dani is floored. This is not like the other secrets Nico has been keeping from her. Nico explains that Alex was once a colleague whom he married to keep in the country and for their mutual benefit so they couldn't testify against one another. At times it was a romantic relationship but not anymore. Alex is leaving the country that night and has already handed Nico divorce papers. More confused than ever, Dani tells Nico she can't have a relationship with someone she will really never know. Can Nico finally come clean and reveal his past to Dani.
Fed up with the lack of hard evidence to build a case against V3, Nico's FBI contact, Agent Bennett, brings Dani in for questioning. She isn't about to talk, especially without any legal counsel present, so he reluctantly lets her go. That night Dani gives Nico an earful for breaking his promise about protecting her. He's just as angry since he had no idea they were going to haul her in. So Nico pays Agent Bennett a visit to "remind" him that they agreed to keep Dani out of the investigation. Bennett, however, has clearly run out of patience. It's time to get real proof or their deal is off.
After they kiss, Nico finally tells Dani about his arrangement with the FBI. They join forces to find Joseph Crabchek, each with their own agendas. They discover that Crabchek has assumed a new identity so Dani approaches him with the less antagonistic request of enlisting his help with his old teammate Hutch. The young man denies that he's Crabchek or knows what she's talking about. But when Troy and Connor confront Nico and Dani upon their return to the office with Troy claiming Crabchek threatened to sue them for harassment, it's clear that Crabchek is more than simply avoiding his past.
Darryl Hutchinson, the rising star minor league baseball rookie, is about to have his shot at the big leagues but the stress he's feeling to succeed is so great, he passes out on the mound during a crucial game. Despite the signs that something is clearly wrong with him, he refuses to let Dani help him. To escape the mounting pressure, he quits V3, packs up a van and takes off, much to Connor's chagrin. In fact, Connor is so angry that ten years of cultivating Hutch's talent has been flushed down the tubes, he won't let Dani spend one more minute on him. Tired of Connor bending the rules back and forth to suit his needs, Dani quits. Even when he tries to apologize, Dani refuses to change her mind. If Connor won't help her help Hutch, then maybe Nico will—that is, if she can finally get him to return her calls.
Dani thinks that Carl Webber is trying to send her a message—not from the Great Beyond but through the flash drive he mailed to her right before he committed suicide. The problem is that whatever is on the drive is encrypted, so Dani turns to Nico for help decoding it. Nico reluctantly agrees. He definitely wants to know exactly what Carl was up to, however he doesn't want to drag Dani any further into this mess than she already is. But she's not letting go of that drive. Carl sent it to her for a reason; she owes it to him to figure out why.
Spirits are high at V3 in anticipation of their annual V3 Foundation charity event until the FBI unexpectedly raids their offices. Connor is shocked by the sudden turn of events but immediately puts on a good face for his employees, his clients and the press. One person, however, is not surprised: Nico. However, he had no idea the raid would take place so soon. Now he has to pretend he didn't have a hand in tipping off the Feds and help Connor and his team navigate through the murky process. Thankfully, Connor is too busy suspecting that his old protégée and now competitor Abby Bruce is behind the raid, mostly because he can't fathom the idea that one of his own employees would be capable of trying to take down V3.
Paloma has been giving Dani a hard time about her empty social calendar, particularly the lack of dates on it. She manages to convince Dani to come to a V3 Girls' Night Out, where Sam Conte—a very attractive V3 agent from the west coast—hits on Dani. But Dani claims she's too busy to think about dating right now. She's trying to figure out why motivational speaker, writer and TV personality Nolan Powers has been acting so strangely, including telling Dani he's considering suicide and disappearing without telling his concerned fiancée where he is.
When the phones and Internet go down at V3, Connor suspects corporate espionage at the hands of "Bruce," his former assistant who has started a rival agency. It would make sense given that Connor is trying to use Dani as "bait" to lure Devon Langer, the New York Blizzard's star shooting guard, away from SBG Management. Connor has waived Dani's exclusivity clause so she can help a troubled Devon, whose free-throw stats have mysteriously dropped in the last couple of months. Dani agrees to take the case as long as she isn't expected to outright recruit the young player. Though she has an easy fix for his shooting involving some fancy footwork, getting to the root of his psychological problem may not be a slam dunk.
It's Dani's first official day on the job at V3 and she's already overwhelmed—not by the quantity or kind of patients she'll have to help but by the enormous office, generous expense account, luxury company car and a hyper-efficient assistant the company has presented her with. Unused to having anyone doing anything for her, Dani resists the perks. But her new boss, Connor McLane, takes her out to dinner and convinces her she deserves to be taken care of and treated well. Despite the growing tension between her and Anders and the continued strangeness with Nico, Dani gives in to the glamorous extras, including the assistance of the energetic Paloma, which come with being employed by V3.
It's six months later and Dani has been dealing with more changes than she ever could've imagined. Not only did she not reconcile with Matt, she has had to completely let him go ever since he found out Noelle was pregnant and they got married. Ray Jay has gone off to Paris with Juliette Pittman and has yet to return. Nico took a job with Mark Cuban in Dallas and has vanished into thin air as far as Dani can tell.

Happy Birthday Lady Gaga!
Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Happy Birthday to Lady Gaga! As the pop icon turns 27 today, let's take a look back at the best of Stefani Germanotta.
The song that put Lady G on the map:
The song we found out you can't read her poker face:
The song that taught us what a bad romance is:
Lady Gaga taught us that you can travel to the Grammy Awards in more than just a limo:
The song we learned that if you need to break out of jail, just call Beyonce:
When she taught us that it's possible to wear meat:
When she dressed like a man on stage:
The song we love to sing about a man named Alejandro:
The song that pointed out that our beloved Mother Monster was just born this way:
And finally, she taught us that if you ever seriously injure yourself, you can get around in a gold wheelchair!
This world would not be the same without you Lady G. Happy Birthday!!

The Vee-String FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Page
Watch this video to see how to put on a Vee String.
Q: What is your guarantee?
A: With hundreds of products sent, we've never had a product returned for poor workmanship or materials. The products are very labor intensive with a 15 step process completed before they are sent. We have a high standard of quality control in place. Because of state law, this type of product being worn as an undergarment cannot be returned. As well, each of our products are custom made and, therefore, are not returnable.
|Q: How do you care for the
A: This product is made of 100% latex rubber. After use, wash with mild soap and towel dry. The hair is a synthetic hair and excess brushing will pull the hair and straighten it, so it is better to pick (with a hair pick) the hair rather than brush it. To maintain the integrity of the product, dust with powder and store in a cool, dry area when not in use. Only a waterbase lubricant, such as K-Y is to be used with this product. Avoid use of petroleum based lubricants, solvents, vegetable oils or butter as these will soften the latex which can cause deterioration. Avoid direct sunlight which may cause tanning of the latex. If you find it necessary to trim the edges after wearing it for a period of time, you can do so with a pair of scissors.
|Q: How do you wear it?
A: Place the knotted string through the loop behind your back and pull snug. Center the appliance in the front. Adjust the knot to center in the back as close as possible. You may have to retie knot to accomplish this. "Button" the knot in the loop. Now the knot should be in the center of the back. Wrap the excess string of the buttoned end around the waist string. Pass the gaff string between your legs and up and under the waist string. Pull down snug and hold. With one hand, reach into the front of the appliance and gently lift the genitals up, placing them behind the pubic hair of the appliance. Holding the string snug in one hand, use a hand held mirror to determine the snugness desired. Secure the gaff string to the waist string with a half-hitch knot as if you were tying an apron. Wrap the excess string around the waist string on the other side. This may sound complicated, however, when you have the product in your hands or on, it will become very natural.
|Q: How do you fit your
penis into the pocket?
A: The pocket is in the shape of a funnel. The latex pocket can be folded down from the top with the excess being on the outside of the pocket. While holding the bottom of the pocket, you can push the penis down to the bottom of the pocket, placing the opening of the penis directly at the opening of the urethra. By squeezing the penis between your fingers, the pocket can be unfolded, thus, surrounding the penis. If necessary, you can trim the top of the pocket.
|Q: Can I get a skin tone
to match mine?
A: Yes. The best thing to do is to go to a craft store near you and look at the small bottles of latex paint (brand names Americana or DecoArt). There should be a wide array of colors. Choose one that would best match the skin tone just above your pubic area. Write the color and brand name down. e-mail us with your order and the color and we'll make the product for you. If there is not a craft store near you, you have two options...you can either snail mail us a color sample of the appropriate makeup foundation on a piece of paper, or send us a picture and we'll match it as closely as possible. We will match the color as closely as possible. There is an additional charge of $20 and there will be a two or three day delay on custom colors.
|>Q: What hair color can I get?
A: We have 9 different colors. Black, Brunette, Brown, Light Brown, Auburn, Red, Golden Blonde, Strawberry Blonde, and Dishwater Blonde.
|Q: Do you ship discretely?
A: Yes. United States packages are sent through regular certified mail in a brown envelope with our Post Office Box return address on the upper left corner, your address on the center and the green Domestic Return Receipt. Next day deliveries are sent in the postal Express Mail envelope. International orders are sent via US Postal Service International Express Mail. The forms for these are filled out as required by the postal service. The international orders do require a customs notice and we note that the product being sent is a costume. The only country we do not use the US Postal Service for is Germany. These packages are sent via UPS at a cost of $40. There are no markings as to what is inside the package.click here.
|Q: How long can you wear
the v-string?
A: If you wear it loosely, it is no different than wearing a pair of panties. It can be worn all day. If you wear it tight, you may perspire and the latex may cause a temporary rash if worn too long. Dusting powder, such as baby powder, can help prevent this. Clean after every use.
|Q: When I wear my vee-string
vagina, the string tugs on my tailbone and is very
irritable. How can I prevent this?
A: Lubricate the string in that area with K-Y and this will allow comfortable movement with no irritation. You may find that it is actually pulling hair causing the discomfort. You may want to trim or remove the hair.
|Q: How does one use the
bathroom while wearing the vee-string?
A: Simply disconnect the gaff string and reattach it afterwards.
|Q: Can the vagina be
A: Yes. It is modeled to the size of an adult female vagina and can be penetrated by an average adult male penis. However, there is no canal or sleeve to accommodate the penis. There is just a slit in the bottom of the vagina. The latex memory allows it to stretch and return to a normal size. Treat it as you would any female vagina...with tenderness.
|Q: Can I buy a copy of
your mailing list?
A: Absolutely not. We will not sell anyone our list...nor will we give it away. We appreciate our customers. We are in for the long haul and respect the privacy of our customers.

Kiss My Face believe that it's their job to combine these natural and organic ingredients in body care formulations that are potent and effective to make you look good and feel good. Kiss My Face strives to bring you the best nature has to offer—never at the expense of the planet, their employees or their values—but with honesty, humor and style. A retailer once told them, "Kiss My Face puts a smile in the aisle." Kiss My Face Frequently Asked Questions Do you test on animals? Since their humble beginnings on an organic farm in upstate New York, Kiss My Face has not used ingredients that were tested on animals nor tested their finished products on animals. In November 1996, Steve Byckiewicz and Bob MacLeod (the KISS founders) along with 11 other cosmetics companies participated in a press conference in New York City that launched the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals (CSCA). The standard was created by The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC) which consists of 9 animal protection associations - American Antivivisection Society, American Humane Association, Animal Protection Institute, Beauty without Cruelty, Doris Day Animal League, Humane Society of the U.S., In Defense of Animals, New England Antivivisection Society, and PETA. According to their brochure, it is the most rigorous standard for companies to pledge their commitment to no animal testing. By using time-tested ingredients (ones with an established history of safety), diligently reviewing raw material information, and utilizing human volunteers in clinical safety trials, no company need ever test on animals again! Are your products noncomedogenic? This refers to the use of ingredients that can clog pores and cause breakouts. Kiss My Face does not use ingredients that are typically comedogenic like mineral oil, petrolatum, synthetic colors etc. What does the word "fragrance" on the label mean? Fragrance can refer to essential oils, synthetic fragrances or natural fragrances. When properly listed, essential oils are called "fragrance." Kiss My Face primarily uses essential oils only. In some of their original products, they use synthetic fragrances or a combination of the two. Do your products contain synthetic colors? No, Kiss My Face does not use any synthetic colors in their products. They use only natural colors like chlorophyllin copper complex, mica and mineral oxides. Where are your products made? With the exception of Kiss My Face's toothpaste which is made in Italy and their Olive Oil Soap that comes from Greece, all of their products are made in the U.S. What does Saponification mean? "Saponification" is the term used for the actual soap-making process. Fat, which in this case is olive oil, needs a catalyst to be made into soap. Kiss My Face uses Sodium Hydroxide as the catalyst which converts the oils into soap. Kiss My Face's Product Values Kiss My Face's goals are simple—to provide you with products that: are healthy—helping you to feel and be your best. contain natural and organic ingredients—a resource for products that you can trust. are caring—for your body, and for the environment. are responsible—products with quality, purity, efficacy and responsible production methods—these products really work. provide value—with the greatest product benefit for a reasonable price.

Focus on Economic Data: Consumer Price Index and Inflation, February, 2013
Each month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases an estimate of the level of the consumer price index (CPI) and the rate of inflation in the United States for the previous month. The report provides the most recent current and seasonally adjusted consumer price indexes for all urban consumers, urban wager earners, and the chained index, plus a breakdown by major expenditure groups. The BLS also collects price level data for major metropolitan areas and regions.
This lesson focuses on the March 15, 2013, BLS press release of data on the consumer price index for the month of February, 2013. This lesson adds information about U.S. regional and international price levels.
For the latest updates on U.S. economic indicators, go to:
- ESA Economic Indicators: www.esa.doc.gov/content/indicators
- BLS Economic Indicators: www.bls.gov/bls/newsrels.htm#major
- BEA Economic Indicators: www.bea.gov/newsreleases/glance.htm
- Identify the rate and change in the consumer price index and rate of inflation in the United States in February, 2013.
- Identify factors that have influenced recent changes in the price level.
- Describe how inflation impacts different groups in the economy.
- Distinguish between the CPI-U, core rate and other measures of inflation.
In February, 2013, U.S consumer prices increased at the fastest monthly rate since July, 2008 - a monthly increase of 0.7%. Over the past three years, the monthly increases in the CPI have ranged from -0.2 percent to 0.7 percent. The pattern of month-to-month CPI changes has been, at best, erratic.
Why? For most of this period, the most important variable has been energy prices - especially gasoline. The month-to-month changes of the "core" CPI over the past three years have ranged from -0.1 to 0.4 percent. The rise in the price of gasoline accounted for almost three-fourths of the overall CPI change in February.
February was a very good example of how the volatility of energy prices can impact the overall upward or downward change in the price level. In February, the "core" CPI-U, less energy and food prices, rose only 0.2 percent, while the overall price level - the CPI-U - rose 0.7 percent.
Students: Why do you think price volatility over a short period of time is a problem? Or, it it?
Take a look at the latest BLS news release on consumer prices and inflation to better understand how these changes might affect your life and the economy.
Note: Unless otherwise cited, all quoted materials in this lesson are from the March 15, 2013, BLS announcement.
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics News Release
Consumer Price Index - February, 2013
Released March 15, 2013
"On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers increased 0.7 percent in February after being unchanged in January. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in February after rising 0.3 percent in January."
The all-items CPI-U has increased at an annual rate of 2.0 percent over the past twelve months. The "core" CPI also changed 2.0 percent over the past twelve months. Figure 1, below, shows the monthly change in the CPI-U from 2002 to February, 2013. Note the erratic pattern of monthly changes over that time period. Note the time period of the recent recession, 2008-2009. In late 2008, the price level decreased in several months.
The BLS announcement continued with reference to energy and food prices. "The gasoline index rose 9.1 percent in February to account for almost three-fourths of the seasonally adjusted all items increase. The indexes for electricity, natural gas, and fuel oil also increased, leading to a 5.4 percent rise in the energy index. The food index increased slightly in February, rising 0.1 percent. A sharp increase in the fruits and vegetables index was the major cause of the 0.1 percent increase in the food at home index, with other major grocery store food group indexes mixed."
Again, look at the history of gasoline prices to put this comment in perspective.
Over the past year, the average price of gasoline (all types) went from a high of $392 in March, 2012, lower to $3.52 in July, up again to $391 in August, and back down to $3.41 in January. In February, 2013, it popped back up to $3.75. This volatility is why some look at the "core" index as a better measurement of the real inflationary trend over a longer time period.
Figure 2, below, shows the changes in price levels for the major CPI categories for the month of February, 2013, and for the twelve month period ending in February, 2013. Notice again that the only major increases were in some energy prices, especially gasoline.
Students: Do you know the difference between the "headline" number - the CPI for all items and the "core" rate, the CPI minus food and energy prices? Which is the better measure of the price level over time?
Take a good look at the price level data for the major spending categories of the CPI market basket in Figure 2. For more detailed price level data, go to Table 1 of the March 15, 2013 BLS news release: www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/cpi_03152013.htm
Do you see any patterns?
Students: What personal consumer behaviors and wants influence how you are affected by inflation? What happened to the prices of the goods and services you purchase most often?
Students: Who is affected the most by inflation?
The Nominal Level of the CPI-U in February 2013
The nominal level of the CPI-U in February, 2013, was 232.166. That is an increase of $1.89 from the January, 2013, level. Remember, the level of the CPI-U is relative to the base year level of 100. The base year for most of the CPI categories is the period of 1982-84. That means the market basket of goods and services making up the CPI-U cost $100 in 1983-84. That same market basket (after revisions for changes in consumer behaviors) cost $232.17 in February, 2013. The price of the market basket increased $4.50 in one year - just slightly less that 20. percent.
Students: Is a $4.50 increase in the price level in one year a lot? Assuming your income remaines the same for the year, what would youhave to give-up to adjust your spending for inflation? Or, what can $4.50 buy?
How much inflation have we experienced since 1982-84? The CPI-U index has increased by 132.166 points, so the price level has slightly more than doubled in that period of time, a 132% increase in about 28 years. Simply put, it has increased by an average of about 3-4 percent per year.
Not Seasonally Adjusted CPI measures
The annual level of the CPI-U is not affected by seasonal changes that may occur from one season to another, so it is reported as "not seasonally adjusted." The adjusted level is reported as the month-to-month change and the annual level is the reported as the index number for the year.
"The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 2.0 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 232.166 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index increased 0.8 percent prior to seasonal adjustment."
"The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 1.9 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 228.677 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index increased 1.0 percent prior to seasonal adjustment."
The market basket that cost $100 (CPI-U) in 1982-84 now costs about $228.68.
Students: Does a 129% increases in prices over 30 years seem like a lot?
"The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 1.8 percent over the last 12 months. For the month, the index increased 0.7 percent on a not seasonally adjusted basis. Please note that the indexes for the post-2011 period are subject to revision."
The price level for "urban wage earners and clerical workers" (CPI-W) increased slightly less than the CPI-U in February. The "chained" index increased slightly less than the CPI-U and CPI-W. Revisit the definitions of these CPI measurements for a review of the differences. BLS FAQs www.bls.gov/cpi/cpifaq.htm#Question_2
A BLS Note about Seasonal Adjustment
"Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month. For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year--such as price movements resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales."
"The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data also are used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index before adjustment for seasonal variation."
Students Have you noticed any prices that change with the seasons or relative to events or other factors. How did the unusually warm weather in the winter of 2012 impact prices?
U.S. Regional Differences in Price Levels
The BLS also collects and reports consumer price level changes in four large regions of the United States, the states, and major metropolitan areas through its regional offices. Price levels will vary from region to region for a variety of reasons.
Figure 3, below, show some of the key regional price level data. Note some regional differences. The general price level is much higher in the Northeast than in other regions. Prices are generally lower in the Midwest, relative to the 1982-1984 base year., but in February, 2013, Midwest prices rose more than the other regions.
The BLS reports CPI data monthly for the four U.S. regions. The following are the most recent BLS press releases on the regional consumer price indexes for February, 2013, in the Northeast, Midwest, West and South regions.
Consumer Price Index, Northeast Region – February 2013
"Regional prices up 0.6 percent over the month and 2.0 percent over the year"
"The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in the Northeast region rose 0.6 percent in February—the largest one-month increase since March 2011, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Martin Kohli, the Bureau's chief regional economist, noted that the recent rise reflected one-month increases in the indexes for all items less food and energy (0.4 percent) and energy (3.0 percent), while the food index edged down 0.2 percent. (Data in this report are not seasonally adjusted. Accordingly, month-to-month changes may reflect the impact of seasonal influences.)
The CPI-U and its largest component, all items less food and energy, each posted over-the-year price advances of 2.0 percent. The indexes for energy and food also rose since February 2012, up 2.8 and 1.6 percent, respectively."
The Northeast region is comprised of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
Midwest Region Consumer Price Index – February 2013
"Prices in the Midwest up 1.1 percent in February and 2.2 percent higher over the year"
"The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in the Midwest advanced 1.1 percent in February – the largest increase since June 2009, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Regional Commissioner Charlene Peiffer noted that motor fuel prices, up 13.7 percent, also registered their largest gain since June 2009. Overall, energy costs rose 8.0 percent in February. Food prices were unchanged and the index for all items less food and energy increased 0.4 percent."
"The CPI-U for the Midwest rose 2.2 percent from February 2012 to February 2013. The energy index, which includes motor fuel and household fuels, advanced 4.4 percent and the index for food was up 1.7 percent. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U increased 2.0 percent over the year."
The Midwest region is comprised of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Consumer Price Index, South Region – February 2013
"Prices in the South up 0.9 percent over the month and 1.8 percent over the year"
"The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the South rose 0.9 percent in February, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Sheila Watkins, the Bureau's regional commissioner, noted that energy prices advanced 5.2 percent over the month and prices for food edged up 0.2 percent. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.4 percent. Within the all items less food and energy group, price increases were noted for a number of components including shelter and apparel. (Data in this report are not seasonally adjusted. Accordingly, month-to-month changes may reflect the impact of seasonal influences.)"
"Over the last 12 months, the CPI-U advanced 1.8 percent. The index for all items less food and energy increased 2.1 percent over the year."
The South region is comprised of Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Consumer Price Index, West Region — February 2013
"Area prices were up 0.8 percent over the past month, up 2.0 percent from a year ago"
"Prices in the West Region, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), increased 0.8 percent in February, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Regional Commissioner Richard J. Holden noted that the February increase was influenced by higher prices for gasoline. (Data in this report are not seasonally adjusted. Accordingly, month-to-month changes may reflect seasonal influences.)"
"Over the last 12 months, the CPI-U increased 2.0 percent, largely due to increased shelter prices. Energy prices rose 3.1 percent reflecting higher gasoline and electricity costs. The index for all items less food and energy advanced 2.0 percent since February 2012."
The West Region covered in this release is comprised of the following thirteen states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
Students: Take a look at the price level and inflation data for your region and/or your closest large metropolitan area. Go to the link to your region. You may also be able to find your state data.

Students: Examine your region's data and summarize it for the whole class. Speculate about the factors that have influenced prices in tyour area.
The BLS also publishes data for states and major metropolitan areas. If your school is in one of the metropolitan areas, look att he CPI data for your area. Select your state and then your metropolitan area. http://www.bls.gov/eag/
International Price Level Comparisons
The BLS also publishes comparisons of price level data for the major industrialized nations; the United States, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
BLS International Comparisons Link: www.bls.gov/fls/
Take a look at the most recent data for the nine industrialized nations. Figure 4, below, shows the consumer price indexes in the nine countries, by percent change from same period of previous year, for the years 1995 through 2012.
Which nations have experienced more or less inflation than the United States during this time period?
Take a look at Japan, where the price level fell (deflation) each year from 1999 to 2005, and again in 2009 and 2010. Many refer to the Japanese economy during the late 1990s and early 2000s as the "lost decade."
Note that the United Kingdom has experienced higher levels of annual price increases over the past several years than the other nations.
In a more detailed annual report, the BLS compares the consumer price indexes of 16 regions, the "International Indexes of Consumer Prices." Go to this link: www.bls.gov/ilc/intl_consumer_prices.htm#chart03 for the details.
Look at the graphs of the annual CPI changes for the nations. Do you see any patterns? Notice that all of the nations experienced a greater than normal increase in their CPIs in the year 2008.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland provides a tool to search for price level data for many nations. You can select countries and time periods. Students can use this online tool to learn about different countries or regions. Link: www.clevelandfed.org/research/data/world-inflation/index.cfm ]
Calculating the Price Index Changes
The BLS news release explains how the change in the price level index is calculated. "Movements of the indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points, because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example below illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes."
"Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates." The data in Figure 5, below, indicates what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a 12-month period. Note: This example uses seasonally adjusted CPI data.
Students: Can you use the data in the state, metro area or international data to determine the rate of inflaiton over a period of time?
BONUS ACTIVITY: How much have consumer prices changed since you were born?
Use the BLS "Inflation Calculator" to determine how much the CPI has changed since the year you were born. LINK: data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl
First, take a guess. How much do you think consumer prices have changed in your lifetime? Put your year of birth into the calculator and hit "calculate" to find out the answer.
Finding Additional Data and Details in the BLS Report
February, 2013, was a perfect example of how one data point - the price of gasoline, in this case - can impact the overall level of prices. Here, again, is what the BLS reported on March 15, 2013.
"On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers increased 0.7 percent in February after being unchanged in January. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in February after rising 0.3 percent in January."
So, if you do not drive a car, were you unaffected by inflation in February? Think about all of the ways a change in gasoline prices can impact other prices - transporting goods, production that uses a large amount of energy, air fares, etc.
If energy prices continue to increase, what will result? Keep an eye on gasoline and other energy prices this spring.
- Make a list of the goods and services you purchase regularly (gasoline, food, clothes, entertainment, etc.) - Create 6-8 categories of goods and services.
- Pick one "unit" of a product from the various categories for your "market basket."
Identify the current price of that unit of the good or service.
Examples:CategoryUnitUnit PriceBasket PriceEnergy10 gal of regular gasoline$1.99$19.90Entertainment2 "first run" move ticket$7.50$15.00Food2 #3 "Extra Value" Meals$5.75$5.75Clothing1 pair of Levis 501 jeans$35.00$35.00
- Add the total cost of the items in your "market basket." (For example, your market basket may cost $125.00 for all of the items (total number of each unit times the price.)
- Make the current price of the basket the "base" by designating it as 100.
- A month (or a year) from now, go back to the various stores and check the prices of the same items in the "market basket." Suppose the same items now cost $129.00. The price of the basket has increased by $4.00.
- Using this example, what has been your rate of inflation? A $4 increase from $125 to $129 is a 3.2% increase. (4/125 = .032) Your rate of inflation during that period was 3.2%.
- Determine the rate of inflation for your market basket. If you wait one month, you can multiply the monthly increase by 12 to determine an approximate annual increase (assuming that the prices rise at about the same rate each month).
- This will give you an idea of how a "market basket" price index works. Of course, you would normally have to measure the changes in the prices of your index items for a longer period of time to see much inflation.
What do you think has happened to the prices of the items in your "market basket" in the past year?
What do you think will happen to those prices in the coming year?
- Does taking the food and energy items out of your basket make a difference?

The Heritage Foundation, now led by Jim DeMint, put out their annual Economic Freedom Index, a list of the countries in the world they deem to be the most free. And lo and behold, nearly all of the top 9 countries (the US is 10) have some form of government-provided or mandated health care:
The report defines the concept of "economic freedom" in misleading right-wing terms, but even by those standards, it appears that universal health care systems far more expansive than Obamacare aren't "fundamentally inconsistent with liberty." In fact, the ten "freest" economies in 2013 by Heritage's lights range from mandating individuals save a certain amount of money for health care to almost the entire health care system, including hospitals, being owned and operated by the government
6 of the 9 have nationalized health care or single-payer systems. Two of them have mandates that require people to pay a certain percentage of their income to health care savings accounts. One has a system much like the US will have starting in 2014. But gee, I thought even subsidized private insurance was a "government takeover" of the health care system that would destroy freedom and lead to the Fourth Reich? Oh, wait. The individual mandate was actually the Heritage Foundation's idea, long before they suddenly discovered it's liberty-destroying properties when it was proposed by a Democrat. Funny how times change.


text: So I just set up a 8 GB flash drive with BT4. I have a linksys E2000 wireless -n, router that is hard wired to my desktop. When I run the virtual box on my desktop I can connect to the internet, but when I boot my satellite laptop, from USB I can't seem to set up a connection. When I boot from windows, I have like 6 or 7 wireless connections to choose from. I've done a lot of searching and tried turning the networking on. The thing is when I use the "lspci" command, it shows both my atheros 8152 ethernet, and my realtec nic. I'm new to linux, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Also when I went back to the Linuxliveusb creator website i noticed that they say that once you have made the BT4 usb with persistence, that you can't download new drivers. I'm kind of under the impression that I just need to set it up, but I've tried the "ifconfig", "iwconfig", and several other things I saw on other threads. No matter what I do I get no connections available. http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...milies/mad.png Thanks in advance.

The Pacific coast of Nicaragua was settled as a Spanish colony from Panama in the early 16th century. Independence from Spain was declared in 1821 and the country became an independent republic in 1838. Britain occupied the Caribbean Coast in the first half of the 19th century, but gradually ceded control of the region in subsequent decades. Violent opposition to governmental manipulation and corruption spread to all classes by 1978 and resulted in a short-lived civil war that brought the Marxist Sandinista guerrillas to power in 1979. Nicaraguan aid to leftist rebels in El Salvador caused the US to sponsor anti-Sandinista contra guerrillas through much of the 1980s. Free elections in 1990, 1996, and 2001, saw the Sandinistas defeated, but voting in 2006 announced the return of former Sandinista President Daniel ORTEGA Saavedra. The 2008 municipal elections were characterized by widespread irregularities. Nicaragua's infrastructure and economy - hard hit by the earlier civil war and by Hurricane Mitch in 1998 - are slowly being rebuilt, but democratic institutions face new challenges under the ORTEGA administration.
