Delay of Release of PPI for May 2004

The Producer Price Index (PPI) for May 2004, originally scheduled for
release on June 11, has been postponed until further notice.

BLS staff are working to resolve the unexpected difficulties in
calculating the index this month.

A revised release date has not yet been set but could be no earlier
than Tuesday, June 15. When a revised release date for the May 2004
PPI has been determined, it will be announced at least one day ahead
of time on this web page and through a news advisory.

The BLS expresses its apologies to those who experience any problems
as a result of this delay.
=========================================================

Sounds like after *they* can't fake the numbers anymore, *they* will
simply stop publishing the stats altogether. (except fer fellow
robbers, off course)

Merkans will have to use dead-reckoning, ear-to-the-ground and wet
finger tip fer direction.

How peculiar, reallly!

year Treasury index (TNX) edged up to 48.12 from 47.71. These are sure signs of
either a) a stronger dollar, b) no change in the core inflation rate of 2%/year
and/or c) the markets don't know jack about what's gonna happen.

Of course, if the bad guys nuke the G8 meeting in Atlanta, conditions could
rapidly destabilize.

Readers should consider going to cash and waiting this one out.

Sea Island isn't in Atlanta - it's way down south, off the coast. :)

Having lived in JAX for a year, I know SE Georgia geography. I thought it was in
Atlanta because a news story described State of Emergency there.

Talk about lumping us all together, when I was in Lubbock yankees would ask
whether I was familiar with so-and-so in Houston, more than 500 miles away. I
responded by asking whether they knew Washington DC. After they said no, I'd
point out it's half the distance.

Half the distance from ... yankeeland?

People do this all the time, e.g., you're from NYC - do you know my
cousin Tony? Or, you were in the Army - do you know my cousing Tony?

We still get the odd person from England visiting Halifax or Toronto
that wants to do a short side-trip to Vancouver. We point out that it
would be closer to take a side trip to London, at least from Halifax. I
think Toronto is about mid-point.

Foreign countries are always "further away". I grew up 30 miles from
Buffalo, but still considered it like the other side of the moon.
Toronto, at 90 miles, was "local".

As a New Zealander (population now just 4,000,000 and 30 years ago,
when I left these shores, around 3,000,000), I have become very used
to people all over the planet saying: "You're a Kiwi...D'you know
(substitute whatever names you like here)?"

Given our small population (we are focused on quality rather than
quantity...<G>) I guess it is a reasonable question. However, our long
skinny islands extend just on 1000 miles, so the chance of actually
living next door to any given person (or even knowing them in the same
community), cannot be expected to be high. Yet, on more than one
occasion, I actually DID know the people designated!

My standard response now is: "Probably. Us Kiwis are a tight knit
community and we believe in marrying our cousins, so I'm probably
related to the people you mentioned." This has the desired effect of
making them move on to the next party-goer, before they can find out
that I'm in the computer industry...(Once that gets out you've had
it...the rest of your evening will be spent listening to horrific
stories of how computers destroyed their lives, and requests for free
advice on how to stop Windows from hanging (as if THAT were possible
<G>)).

These days, if you meet me at a party I'm the Postman (everybody loves
the Postman...right?) from the non-existent country of Blowdonia
(people are reluctant to admit a piece missing in their knowledge of
Geography). During the evening, as I imbibe more alcohol, my
Blowdonian accent will vary from Scottish/Welsh/Irish towards
American/Australian/Kiwi until I finally collapse in the corner as an
incoherent heap (if it is a GOOD party...)

That way I get to end up in the kitchen with the real serious
drinkers...

Pete.

Help.  I remember seeing some time ago definitions of

: POSTPONE[ ... ;

and

: ]POSTPONE ... ;

and would like to borrow (SCO permitting of course) as I'm tired of
repetitive postponing. Google can't help as it insists on dropping the [
and ]. Your help for an ANS solution appreciated.
