H/T to Newshounds for the video grab:
So let's examine what a 'great' economic state we are in.
As I've said before, I'm not an economist, but I know when I'm being fed a load of horse excrament. So, here are some facts for this chap that thinks the American economy is just spot-on fantastic as droves of people from the UK and Europe 'flee' to America to take a bite out of what we've got.
1- Unemployment:
The unemployment rate rose from 5.0 to 5.5 percent in May, and nonfarm
payroll employment continued to trend down (-49,000), the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. In May, employ-
ment continued to fall in construction, manufacturing, retail trade, and
temporary help services, while health care continued to add jobs. Average
hourly earnings rose by 5 cents, or 0.3 percent, over the month.
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
The number of unemployed persons increased by 861,000 to 8.5 million in
May, after seasonal adjustment, and the unemployment rate rose by 0.5 per-
centage point to 5.5 percent. A year earlier, the number of unemployed per-
sons was 6.9 million, and the jobless rate was 4.5 percent. (See table A-1.)
The unemployment rates for adult men (4.9 percent), adult women (4.8 per-
cent), teenagers (18.7 percent), whites (4.9 percent), and blacks (9.7 per-
cent) rose in May. The jobless rate for Hispanics (6.9 percent) was unchanged.
The unemployment rate for Asians was 3.8 percent, not seasonally adjusted.
(See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
2 - An Economic Recession Started in March 2001
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The world's largest economy sank into a recession in March, ending 10 years of growth that was the longest expansion on record in the United States, a group of economists that dates U.S. business cycles said Monday.
The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), composed of academic economists from Harvard, Stanford and other universities, joined a chorus of economists and investors who were saying that a recession had already begun. The group posted its decision on its Web site.
It ruled that the long expansion ended in March and the nation's tenth recession since the end of World War II began at the same time. The declaration means the longest expansion lasted exactly 10 years. The previous record for uninterrupted economic growth was set in the 1960s, a period of eight years and 10 months lasting from February 1961 to December 1969.
3 - Bush's Tax Cuts Benefit A Small Percentage Of Americans
...Economists and tax analysts have long known that the biggest dollar value of Mr. Bush's tax cuts goes to people at the very top income levels. One reason is that two of his signature measures, tax cuts on investment income and a steady reduction of estate taxes, overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest households.
But the Congressional study offers additional insight because it incorporates information about what people paid in 2004, the first year in which taxpayers could take full advantage of the cuts on stock dividends and capital gains.
The study estimates that the effective federal income tax rate, which excludes payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, declined modestly for people in the middle- and lower-income categories.
Families in the middle fifth of annual earnings, who had average incomes of $56,200 in 2004, saw their average effective tax rate edge down to 2.9 percent in 2004 from 5 percent in 2000. That translated to an average tax cut of $1,180 per household, but the tax rate actually increased slightly from 2003....
4 - The Dollar is the New Peso
It's no secret that the dollar is on a downward spiral. Its value is dropping, and the Fed isn't doing a whole lot to change that. As a result, a number of countries are considering a shift away from the dollar to preserve their assets. These are seven of the countries currently considering a move from the dollar, and how they'll have an effect on its value and the US economy....
Countries are growing weary of losing money on the falling dollar. Many of them want to protect their financial interests, and a number of them want to end the US oversight that comes with using the dollar. Although it's not clear how many of these countries will actually follow through on an abandonment of the dollar, it is clear that its status as a world currency is in trouble.
Obviously, an abandonment of the dollar is bad news for the currency. Simply put, as demand lessens, its value drops. Additionally, the revenue generated from the use of the dollar will be sorely missed if it's lost. The dollar's status as a cheaply-produced US export is a vital part of our economy. Losing this status could rock the financial lives of both Americans and the worldwide economy.
In the interest of fairness, it should be noted that the above statement appeared in November of last year.
And as far as the statement of people fleeing to come to America because of the economy.....
With a wheezing economy that's struggling with housing and credit problems - as well as a weak dollar - it's clear the United States won't be in the investment spotlight this year.
But don't despair. Because a trend that has long been talked about - economic decoupling - is finally starting to manifest itself as other world economies, particularly the so-called "BRIC" markets of Brazil, Russia, China and India, have continued to grow even as the U.S. economy has slowed. That means profit opportunities abound for U.S. investors, despite myriad messes on the home front that include a collapsed housing market, a mortgage crisis that turned into a five-alarm credit conflagration, and a plunging greenback that seems to have left its parachute on the airplane that it jumped from.
Some of the profit pathways to play:
- Investors can eschew the U.S. market completely, and pursue profits abroad.
- They can latch onto the U.S.-based members of the "Global Titans" club, companies with their headquarters in America that derive a hefty chunk of their profits from overseas markets.
- Or investors can ferret out U.S. investments that are either immune to some of this country's current economic afflictions, or that are problem-plagued now, but a good bet for a turnaround later.
You're more often to hear that a fair tax system only "punishes" the successful. Well, that's a nice talking-point to stir-up your base with, but it's really nothing more than that. Sure, people that have worked hard their lives to get where they are deserve to have nice things. But, who's doing the talking here? Who(m) is truly afraid of being 'punished'? Are they talking about the man that struggled as a child in a poor neighborhood in Detroit, managed to go to a great college, became an award-winning chemist, and is now working on a cure for AIDs? Or, are they talking about a man who dropped-out of college, made sure they didn't have to be drafted to fight in Vietnam, and ended up hosting talk-radio show where they continually tell their audience that a fair tax punishes the successful?

Australia is undoubtedly the greatest place on Earth. Despite this, it is not without its areas for improvement and after visiting a few different places this year, I have some suggestions. Here is my list of things that I would bring back to Australia from overseas and implement for the greater good...
1. Turn right on red (or left for Australia). Ever come to a set of traffic lights and want to turn left but then the lights go red? You have to just sit there and wait, even if there is no traffic coming. Imagine if you could turn left on a red light if there are no cars coming!
In America, unless it is otherwise signed, you can turn right on a red light. Traffic moves faster and there is no sitting and waiting for nothing. Australia needs this rule.
2. Aperitivo. In Italy, 'apertiivo' is literally a pre-meal drink that is supposed to stimulate the appetite. During aperitivo time (usually 6-9pm), bars will put on a spread on snacks such as crisps, olives, cheese, nuts, dips and sandwiches and if you purchase an aperitivo drink, you can partake in the snacks. It is a brilliant idea and Australia could use it. Maybe it could prevent the binge drinking rages that Aussies are becoming known for?
3. Free soft drink re-fills. At pretty much any restaurant in the States, if you order a soft drink, it is a bottomless cup. (Unlike Australia where you pay $5 for a cup of ice with some soft drink in it.) One particular drink machine in America is called the Coca Cola Freestyle 127. It has 127 different flavors of soft drink, including many diabetic friendly 'zero' options. If you buy a single soft drink cup, you can spend the rest of the day trying every flavor for free!
4. Free breakfast in hotels. In Australia, you pay a small fortune in most hotels to have breakfast in the morning. At almost every hotel I stayed at in Europe and America, rooms came with a free breakfast. Head down to the dining room in the morning and there is a spread of food including coffee, bacon, eggs and a pancake machine. Everybody needs a pancake machine.
5. Tipping wait staff. There is nothing worse than getting poor service when you are dining out. In Australia, there is no incentive for staff to provide good service nor is there a way to let the staff know that you are not impressed with them or that you thought they were great. In America, tipping wait staff ensures that you will get the best possible service and if you don't, there is a means to show your distaste. I can think of several restaurants in Australia that could benefit from this.
6. Free Wi-Fi. It is almost impossible to find free Wi-Fi in Australia. Unless you go to a McDonalds or a State Library, it is extremely difficult to get the internet without paying. In the States, free Wi-Fi is everywhere. You can get around quite easily on free Wi-Fi and it is pretty much the norm for restaurants to have it available.
7. Shark Week. The Urban Dictionary description of Shark Week pretty much sums it up... 'A week in the summer when Discovery Channel broadcasts all its shows in the shark theme. The best week to watch TV.' It is the longest-running cable television programming event in history. Everybody should see Shark Week.

Its finally Wednesday (yeaayyyy!), almost Thursday (even better!!), and so far... WE'RE ALL ALIVE AND WELL!
I got to talk to Tyson at almost 10pm his first day. He said it was everything he expected it to be (long, overwhelming, exhausting, intimidating) but no worse than he dared to imagine, so Im counting it as a success!
The kids and I have been keeping busy during the days as usual... we all came down with colds the first of the week (of course!), so Dawson stayed home from school today and we watched high speed police chases on YouTube all morning long. He thought that was SOOOO cool (so did I, I'll admit it...). We scored a couple pocket size freebie CHP calendars at the orientation meeting, so the kids have been marking an X in the box each morning when they wake up to count the days until the weekend when Dad will be home for a 'visit.'
Tyson called tonight just briefly with a 'supply' list, and said again how insane the workload is. He wasn't complaining as much as I know it was his way of subtly preparing us for the new version of Daddy who always has a flash card in his hand and an icepack on his shoulder. I know he will be spending a majority of his 'family time' during the weekends studying, ironing, polishing, memorizing, starching, and studying some more, so if you don't see much of us in daylight outside of blog world these next few months, you'll know why!
One of the CHP recruiters mentioned this video before the boys left for boot camp. I think it helped for a little comic relief... I'm sure it will be even more funny down the road when it doesn't actually apply to them directly anymore.

After a recent, rather unpleasant run-in with vampires and angsty teenage girls I greeted the opportunity to attend a Great Magic School with a cringe. Was I now to be subjected to a half-baked, paper-thin "Harry Potter" rip-off as well? Fortunately, I was not; Mysteries of Magic Island isn't great but it's pretty good, and there's no connection to Mr. Potter and the gang anywhere to be found."

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- DeAndrew White raved about Amari Cooper's work ethic after Wednesday's practice and ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. took it one step further on Thursday's "SportsCenter."
The NFL Draft expert likened Cooper's work ethic to NFL legend Jerry Rice, the league's all-time leader in receptions (1,549), touchdown receptions (197) and receiving yards (22,895). Rice was known as one of the NFL's hardest workers during the offseason and Cooper has quickly established that sort of reputation with his teammates.
"Jerry Rice had that great work ethic. Amari Cooper, same thing type of thing," Kiper Jr. said. "Spends tons of time after practice, always working on route-running, his stats are incredible and he's a guy who consistently week after week puts up big numbers."
Cooper, who is second in the nation in receiving yards (1,132) and fourth in receptions (71), is Kiper Jr.'s top-ranked, 2015 draft-eligible wide receiver and third overall on his latest Big Board. Kiper Jr.'s Big Board is based exclusively on a player's ability and does not factor the needs of teams that likely will make the draft's top selections.
"Amari is very talented," White said. "He's self-motivated, he doesn't need anything to motivate him. He works hard so that alone gets him a long way."
Former Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones went sixth overall in the 2011 NFL Draft.
Fellow ESPN NFL Draft expert Todd McShay ranks Cooper fifth overall in his latest rankings.
Alabama junior safety Landon Collins is another draft-eligible player high on both Kiper Jr.'s and McShay's rankings. Collins is 11th overall in McShay's rankings and 13th in Kiper Jr.'s.
Alabama's had at least two players selected in the first round of the past five NFL Drafts. At this point of the season, neither Cooper nor Collins have fielded questions about their future decisions.

Singer/songwriters Kenny Loggins, Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr have created the new band Blue Sky Riders, and were profiled by Huff/Post50 in February. The band will release their debut self-titled album Blue Sky Riders on January 22, 2013 and are chronicling their experiences as a band in this blog.
I spent most of my life living hand to mouth when it came to money. Pursuing this dream of music required my taking the kinds of jobs that would allow me to take gigs at night and co-writing appointments during the day. That meant having NO job security. There were bouts in my life when I said SCREW THAT and took a job with benefits but I only gained weight and felt very unhappy because it locked me into a schedule that made me too tired to spend the time necessary to be a good songwriter. Those jobs never lasted long. Since I never married or had children, I figured if I wanted to live life the hard way, that was my prerogative.
I was an accounts receivable clerk, substitute teacher, data-entry clerk, secretary, waitress, you name it. And while some of those could have turned into full-time jobs, like the Steve Earle song says "I Ain't Ever Satisfied"...so I chose the road less traveled, the one I'd hoped would bring me the aforementioned SATISFACTION.
When I finally got the call from a music publishing company officially offering to sign me as a staff writer, I was 29 years old and waiting tables at a restaurant in Nashville called The Green Hills Grill. I couldn't believe it. I had worked so hard and getting this news was everything I had wanted coming true right then and there. My new songwriting job wouldn't come with benefits but it would guarantee me two full years of a monthly paycheck while I worked my way up the ladder of the music business. While it was wonderful to be under contract, you only STAY under contract if you deliver hit songs or at least songs that go on albums that bring in some dough to the company. Like any other business, if your work isn't adding to the bottom line, you're not needed there. So my job was to figure out how to make myself indispensable.
I remember the day I quit waitressing. I loved that restaurant because it was run by management who cared about their employees. They didn't manage by fear but by empowerment. For example, if I screwed up, they didn't make me pay for my mistake. They just said "Go make it right. Tell the table you'll buy their dinner and give them a coupon for a free dinner next time they come back." And people always came back. It was the kind of place where people knew that they mattered.
So the day I quit, I told Steven, my boss, "I'm really excited about being a professional songwriter but I want you to know that I'm holding on to my waitress uniform, just in case things don't work out."
And what he said, I'll never forget:
"Burn it."
It's hard living a life with no safety net. But if the risk pays off, it could be everything you've ever wanted.
Blue Sky Riders used to be a terrifying prospect for me... as amazing as it was to be in a band with Kenny Loggins and Gary Burr, we decided we would be equal partners from the start. That meant that whatever it cost to get this project off the ground would have to come out of all three of our pockets. Just like any new business, it costs quite a bit of money to get a new venture going. I used to panic when we would pay for some kind of marketing we thought we needed and then it didn't work out. I once told our manager, "I can't afford to make these kinds of mistakes!" To which he replied, "Then you shouldn't be starting your own business. You're gonna HAVE to."
At the time we started this band, I had just scored my first big hit song. Which meant for the first time in my life, I finally had some money in the bank. Seeing the potential to lose everything I had been working for my whole life, Kenny found the perfect solution: "We'll work for it. From every Blue Sky Riders show we do, we'll put every dollar we earn into this project. That way, it doesn't come directly out of our pockets... kind of like we'll never see it. Okay?"
Okay. I could live with that.
So we have. We've worked our rear-ends off and for the last two years, we have been supporting this project with our very own Blue Sky Riders money. Because of that, we now have a team of incredibly talented people we have assembled who are working just as hard as we are. Sometimes our expenses exceed our income, but just like my whole life before this band, every time I was at the point when I didn't know where the next dollar was going to come from, suddenly a new opportunity appeared. I guess that has to do with having faith.
Faith has kept me going my whole life... no reason to give up on it now.

I have tried to comfort him by suggesting we could shift Earth's orbit by hurling asteroids towards the planet on trajectories that will gradually move it away from the sun. Instead, they hang on until spring when other plants are putting out their new leaves.How do these trees benefit from this different approach to deciduousness?Area excavation involves the opening up of large horizontal areas for excavation, used especially where single period deposits lie close to the surface.It is the excavation of as large an area as possible without the intervention of balks and a grid system.
My 8-year-old son is very worried about Earth being destroyed by the sun when it becomes a red giant billions of years from now. They are deciduous and their leaves turn bronze in the autumn, but they don't fall off the tree.

View from the Dugout: Texas State-ex starting to find hitting stroke
Shortstop Tommy Field, a Texas State notable, had hit .310 in a 10-game stretch through Thursday that included three doubles and a triple to lift his average to .254 on the season with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox.
In his first 90 games with the Triple-A Pacific Coast League ballclub this season, Field had seven home runs and 35 RBIs for the Rockies' affiliate.
Honored: Former Reagan star Jeff Manship of the Triple-A Rochester (N.Y.) Red Wings was named the International League's Player of the Week and Pitcher of the Week for the period of July 16-22.
Manship, 27, won twice as a starter that week with six-inning outings, lowering his ERA on the season to 2.29. The effort lifted the one-time Notre Dame standout's overall record at Rochester to 6-1, including 4-1 as a starter.
On the move: Ex-Churchill pitcher Randy Choate, who had rejuvenated his career with the Miami Marlins, was dealt along with infielder Hanley Ramirez to the Dodgers last week.

The left-handed Choate, a free agent at the end of this season, hurled a scoreless inning in his L.A. debut Wednesday.
Choate landed in Los Angeles with a 2.49 ERA and a 0.99 average of walks and hits per innings pitched in 44 previous appearances this season.
Solid enough: Yankees reliever Boone Logan, an O'Connor graduate, continues to perform well as a midgame reliever.
He's 4-0 this season with a 3.55 ERA, including 17 walks and 42 strikeouts in 33 innings pitched. The 6-foot-5, 215-pounder is in his seventh major-league season after being drafted out of Temple Junior College in 2002 by the Chicago White Sox.
Slumping: New Braunfels native J.P. Ramirez, who starred at Canyon High School, is enduring a skid at the plate with the Class A Advanced Potomac (Md.) Nationals.
Over a 10-game span entering weekend action, he hit only .156 in 32 at-bats, knocking in one run.
For the season, Ramirez is at .283 overall in stints with two Class A franchises, including a .282 average with the Washington Nationals' Potomac stop. The left fielder has five extra-base hits and 11 RBIs in 48 games with that affiliate.
Hurting: Former Mission Sharyland standout Ismael Tijerina remains on the disabled list for an undisclosed injury with the Class A Savannah (Ga.) Sand Gnats of the South Atlantic League.
Tijerina, in nine games before his late-June injury, was hitting .040. The shortstop, a Mexican native, is in his fifth pro season.

Update on establishment clause lawsuit against UC-Berkeley website
In view of the above holding, the court need not, and does not, reach the parties' arguments on the merits of the Establishment Clause claim. This conclusion is further buttressed by the fact that the court, as described above, is currently unable to take judicial notice of defendants' website. As such, the court does not have access to what defendants argue is the necessary and relevant context in which to evaluate plaintiff's claim.
Accordingly, consideration on the merits is premature at this juncture, and is better suited for resolution if and when the case is again before this court.(page 13)
So there is no decision on the merits for the appeals court to review, no decision on the merits to affirm or reverse. So why is the appeals court listening to arguments on the merits of the lawsuit? And why is the dismissal not mentioned in the EN&V report?

"There will be big screen TVs tuned to the Thunder game," said
Debra East, captain of the Miami Blue Thunder chapter. "There will be lots of other Thunder fans and Thunder door prizes should make these two events great fun."
She said attendees do not have to be a Blue Alliance member to participate.
Another watch party is planned for April 4, when the Thunder plays the Miami Heat.
