From the Fed:
Beige Book – September 3, 2014 – New York
The Second District’s economy has continued to expand at a moderate pace since the last report. Prices of finished goods and services remain generally steady, while businesses continue to report moderate upward pressure on input prices. Labor market conditions continue to improve: Overall, business contacts report some pickup in hiring, and employment agencies describe the job market as strengthening. Service sector firms report that growth has picked up slightly since the last report, while manufacturers say that growth has moderated somewhat. General merchandise retailers report that sales were mixed in July but improved in early August; auto dealers report that sales were mixed but generally steady. Tourism activity has continued to show strength since the last report. Home sales and rental markets were steady to stronger, with inventories still low but rising. Commercial real estate markets have been mixed. Finally, banks report that household loan demand has leveled off but that demand from commercial borrowers continues to grow; they also note little change in credit standards and ongoing declines in delinquency rates across the board.
…
The District’s housing markets have been mixed but a bit firmer, on balance, since the last report. New York City’s rental market has continued to strengthen, with rents rising at a moderately brisk rate, while the city’s co-op and condo market has been generally stable. Across much of the District, including New York City, home resale activity has receded somewhat, while the inventory of available homes has risen slightly but remains low; selling prices are flat to up slightly. One homebuilding contact in northern New Jersey notes that the tone of the market is fairly positive for multi-family (mostly rental) construction, and that developers are building more ahead of demand. In contrast, single-family developers are reluctant to build any significant inventories of new homes. A contact in New York City notes that there is a good deal of new development in the pipeline and expects sales and closings to pick up in the months ahead; this contact also sees a good deal of new construction in the planning stage–largely condos in Manhattan and rental apartments in Brooklyn and Queens.
…
The labor market has shown further signs of strengthening since the last report. Manufacturers continue to add workers, on balance, and considerably more plan to increase than to reduce staffing levels in the months ahead. A growing proportion of service firms say they are hiring, though there has been little change in the proportion that say they are raising wages. One major New York City employment agency reports that hiring activity has continued to improve gradually, while another reports more widespread strengthening and notes increased wage pressures across the board. A growing proportion of workers are said to be switching jobs for increased pay. One trucking industry analyst reports that the industry is doing well but cites a chronic shortage of drivers and notes that this has intensified somewhat in recent months.
Philly Beige Book
Third District homebuilders have reported little change in sales overall since the last Beige Book period, although results are mixed across the District. A New Jersey builder reported another weak month in July but noted a slight pickup in August. In Pennsylvania, a north-central builder credited shale gas money for prompting greater-than-normal numbers of contract signings in July and August. “First-time homebuyers are nonexistent,” according to a south-central homebuilder who reported that this August is worse than last year. Residential real estate brokers reported continued slight improvements in sales this period on a par with the prior Beige Book period at the beginning of this summer season. However, on a year-over-year basis, most major markets remain somewhat weaker. Central Pennsylvania is an exception with slight increases reported for existing homes sales in the Harrisburg area. Declines in the Greater Philadelphia area were smaller than during the last Beige Book period; declines in the Jersey Shore area were greater. A major Philadelphia-area broker expressed little change in activity from the last Beige Book period, reiterating that sales were definitely doing better than they were earlier in the year and that higher-priced homes were selling slowly but all other homes were moving quickly. Brokers remain optimistic for further improvement in 2015.
Rumor has it that the Taj is circling the bowl.
I’d imagine that the existing (remaining?) casinos are going to see a massive revenue boost this fall.
EU Rate cuts…Deposit rate cut further negative .2 (-0.2)
Mass approved casinos and has even awarded some licenses but there is a push on to repeal the law. AC will figure prominently in that push. I don’t expect the effort to succeed but I am sure that surrounding states are quietly supporting it. I could easily see RI and NH looking to secure that business and would love it if Mass repealed it’s casino law.
re-post from last night……signs of wage inflation? But i’m just an idiot.
“Those who say that there is no wage pressure are not looking at the data. The Fed looks at five different measures of wages: Average hourly earnings for all workers, Average hourly earnings for nonsupervisory workers, Employment Cost Index, Median usual weekly earnings, and Unit labor costs. One year ago all of these measures were flat and there was no sign anywhere of rising wage inflation. Today, 2-3 of these measures are on a clear uptrend, see charts below. This is not surprising given the labor market continues to tighten, including in the JOLTS data yesterday and NFP last week. Or put differently, if there really is so much slack in the labor market why are any of these wage measures then trending higher?”

“While everyone was expecting Mario Draghi to announce ABS purchases, few if any had expected the ECB to also cut rates. Which it just did whacking its corridor rates across the board by 10 bps, in the process sending the Deposit Facility rate even further into negative territory, now down at -0.2%.”

TIFU by letting my boyfriend finger me (self.tifu)
submitted 15 hours ago by uteruinestench
It was supposed to be romantic. It was our last night together before he left on a plane, not to see me for months, and we were about to get groovy.
We were under the stars, kissing and holding each other and spending a long time on the perfect foreplay. It was f@cking amazing. We were ready to f@ck like animals and to make sweet love all at once.
We were naked and touching each other to build up suspense, and he began to finger me hard, leaving me moaning, but with an… odd… sensation as well.
“There’s something inside you,” he said.
“There’s nothing, don’t stop,” I replied, uneasily.
“No, there’s something inside you. It feels plastic.”
Horror chills my veins. It had been about two weeks since my period. But I knew then that I had left my menstrual cup (basically a plastic cup for blood/period gunk not to be left in longer than 12 hours) in for the past 14 days.
IDIOTICALLY, I asked him to help me remove it so we could continue. MOTHER OF GOD… it smelled like an eviscerated decomposing body mixed with rotting broccoli, sewage, and rotting eggs ALL IN ONE. And the smell DID NOT GO AWAY. I threw out the cup and its contents, but the stench of 14 day old rotting blood and uterine gunk is not one that fades easily. I could tell my squeamish boyfriend was trying extremely hard not to lose his shi t and vomit. But it only got worse from there.
The stench would not leave, and it was coming from my vagina. To try and bring the mood back, I went to the bathroom to try and freshen up. He joined me, perhaps to make me feel less disgusting. Bad idea. With a feeling like an impending queef but somehow thicker, my vagina suddenly emptied a massive glob of this filth and it splattered a surprisingly large amount of brown rotted uterine filth all over my poor boyfriend’s leg… He practically ran home.

[20] expat,
I’ve been expecting colleges to go belly up for years. More prestigious institutions keep sucking up all of the good candidates and keep growing. The only way for the smaller, less prestigious schools to survive is to lower standards. This they have done so now schools like WNEC are regarded as the 13th grade.
Once parents wise up to the fact that spending money on these schools is like pulling the flush chain, they will start to go belly up or merge with their rivals, kind of like bank mergers in the late 80’s and we know how well that ended.

The End Is Nigh (poster – A Home Buyer Edition):
A man allegedly stabbed his roommate several times after he complained he was being too noisy while having a threesome.
Antonio Flores Narcisso, 42, of Texas, kicked down his roommate’s door after he got fed up with listening to him having s3x with two women, MySanAntonio.com reports.
Narcisso’s roommate was enjoying the company of the two women as part of his 35th birthday celebrations.
When the roommate yelled and told Narcisso to leave, he allegedly grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed the alleged victim numerous times in the head, back and hands, according to CBS Houston.
The roommate was taken to a local hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The two women in his company identified Narcisso from a police photo lineup the night he launched his attack, KENS5.com reports.
Narcisso was only charged this week with burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit felony force for the attack after the May 8 incident.
He is currently in custody at the Bexar County jail.

I am consistently confused by West Orange. Obviously the property tax situation is abysmal but I am interested in seeing the effect that is having on the market. Does anyone have stats of homes sold in WO on an annual basis?
At what point do the residents begin to take control of this situation and try to stop the blood? Example – I see numerous listings for the KHOV development in WO called the Bel Aire. There are 3BR townhomes with $22,000 plus annual tax bills. This is for a townhome with no yard? Also – WO High School is pretty terrible. Where is that money going? Are these houses sellable at any price?
WO seems to me to be the poster child for the tax state gone crazy, is there any way back?

Lambda Chi was a great frat at RU until they disappeared after a alcohol-related
fatality sometime after my time at Rutgers. They’re claim to fame was “Always on tap.” it was our go-to after hours hangout after the pub closed at 2AM. Lots of beer-pong, lots of puking. Good times, good times. Looks like they’ll be gone from MIT now too.

MIT officials have banned large parties and gatherings at university fraternities, sororities, and independent living groups, days after a woman fell from a frat house window, MIT’s newspaper The Tech reports.
The woman, who is not an MIT student, fell from a third-story window Sunday night at Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house on Bay State Road. She was taken to the hospital and survived. The case was logged by MIT Police as alcohol-related and referred to an “intoxicated person falling from window.”
In wake of the fall, Lambda Chi Alpha was suspended from meeting or participating in activities earlier this week pending an investigation, The Boston Globe reported. Both MIT and Lambda Chi Alpha’s international organization suspended the chapter.

Newton, MA used to show up on that safest towns list and was embarrassingly rated #1 safest when a love triangle murder-for-hire hit went down. Maybe 4 or 5 years ago IIRC?
(50) – Parma Ohio is kind of a ratty old town, grayish. Been there twice in the last year, to see my son and daughter in law, who lived nearby at the time. Visited Parma to say hi to priest who married me and better half 30 years ago.
(53) Expat dude – I believe that Lambda Chi case happened after I graduated. That was not the case where the black kid from the Shore college was buried alive and died in a 6 foot mock grave after the sand collapsed around him?
BTW, I was a Deke there. Yes, animal house all the way. Great stories. Crazy brothers. we were the ones that hung the effigies of the gays on the sidewalk two years in a row on Gay Day.
note to Anon; Please stay out of this I had nothing to do with it. I will forever keep the perpetrators names secrets. google DKE Effigy gay rutgers
[56] Xolepa – I think the RU Lambda Chi was just generic forcing a pledge to drink himself to death. Was DKE the frat with the big group bedroom where the windows were kept open all year long so you could sleep in the fresh air all the time if that was your thing. In hindsight, pardon the pun, maybe some Brokeback Mountain cuddling for warmth was going on in that room?
No, DKE was (and still is – we are a working Chapter there again) the big three story brick building across the street from Fords Hall. Down College Ave. Parties were great in the mid-70s. One party we went through 27 full kegs of beer until we ran out. Lines outside along the sidewalk up to corner of Mine Street for people waiting to get in.

Parma Pierogies kick a$$. Parma is safe because everyone is ancient.
1988 was the Lambda Chi incident. I lived on and off campus until ’82 and our crew was pretty much gone by ’83-’84 so that means it’s now 30 years since I lived that life. Wow.
my mistake on the kid who was buried alive. It was a ZBT kid, but from Monmouth U. That frat took a big hit afterwards. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1346&dat=19741117&id=AI4sAAAAIBAJ&sjid=APsDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7285,5311820
[58] Yep, I remember that place and there were some very expansive parties at DKE. Besides Lambda Chi I used to hang out at whatever that other frat was across the street from the River dorms. The only frat down on George Street I think. When I was a 17 year old Freshman in 1977, frat membership was pretty low then and for the next several years. With co-ed dorms, no alcohol policy (except have as much as you want!), and 18 year old drinking age, we were pretty set no matter where we lived. We used to throw 3 keg parties out of our dorm room in 1980 but we had strict dress standards; guys had to wear a tie and girls had to wear high-heeled, open-toe shoes. We used to call those parties Bushwoods, ostensibly borrowed from Caddyshack, but you can read whatever you want into the name;-)

Gator, thanks for the heads up.
Do they change their formula every time they calculate these? Seems so.
Poor McNair Academic – fell from #2 to #62. Perhaps because despite high test scores, 0nly 76% end up enrolled in college?
My town Bridgewater moved up to 76 from 113. It’s a big school in a big area, and not every single neighborhood is “exclusive” enough to prevent some dilution.
Summit and Madison fell pretty far down.
In many respects, the statistics being used is judging neighborhoods and social demographics more than the school’s contribution. If your town’s population demographics only has 1% of people at risk for graduating, versus another town with 10% at risk for graduating, the school with minimal at risk population scores much better. If your kid is in AP classes at either school, they probably never share a class with and their education is essentially unaffected by the existence of those at risk kids.
On the other hand, if your kid isn’t very smart in the first place, its probably better to send them to the top schools, so they can take classes with druggies and other slow students rather than disadvantaged minorities. Unless you want to boost their relative status by making them the star scholar in East Orange or Malcom X Shabazz high schools.
Some of the school stats are funny. Look at Pleasantville high school with a 4.6 student faculty ratio, yet the kids appear pretty dumb. Maybe too many administrators and featherbed jobs?
Ranked 4th from the bottom, maybe The Paterson School of Information Technology should change it’s name to The Paterson School of Misinformation Technology ?
So what’s the highest ranking Abbot district?
My brother was president of ZBT at RU for a couple of years. Until the house was condemned. I remember the steps to the third floor were so worn that you had to waddle up the steps as they were so deeply bent in the middle. I used to DJ at the beautiful white house with the giant columns across the street from ZBT too.
The problem with those lists, besides the demographic issues, is that the results will always be bumpy. One need not worry about the exact number. Figure, top 50 or so and the schools are excellent. 50-150, probably ok. Below that, uh oh. Results vary incredibly from year to year. It certain doesn’t help that they keep changing the methodology used. Though ultimately, parenting is really what matters the most.
Maybe the Patterson School of IT provided key programmers for the bommacare website, helped calculate FNMA’s mortgage default rates, CITI’s VaR, and help forecast global warming. Because employment and compensation should be based on need, not merit.
NJ Monthly jumped the shark, they are going to lose all credibility with the updated rankings, the volatility is absurd.
Ragnar 63 – My old HS Marlboro moves up from #123 to #9!
The lists are crap, but the city people love to use them when looking to move to the burbs.
The reaction in Montklair every time this is released never ceases to amuse me. They have been consistently dropping the last few releases. All the hipsters and hippy dippy flakes moving in from Park Slope love to say how they picked Montklair because it is “diverse”, “unique” and “special”….and then they get their panties in a bunch when some formulaic, cookie cutter ranking doesn’t validate their selection of their land of unicorns.
As for GR, when we dropped from 4-12 in the last rankings, the Superintendent actually had to make a presentation at a BOE meeting studying the results and the reason for our “precipitous decline in the rankings”. I can only imagine what dropping out of the Top 20 is going to mean :)
Not that they had any real “credibility”, it was more “cachet”, but anyway.
Going from 123rd to 9th is completely believable.
As it going from 21st to 100th.
The fact that there are numerous near 100 point moves makes absolutely no sense. If the methodology changed that dramatically, start a new ranking and don’t bother attempting to compare.
That said, like always, go long top 25.
And 10 of the Top 25 weren’t in the Top 25 last time.
Abe Vigoda > Joan Rivers
A big item is percentage of class taking AP courses. west Essex and Verona let all students take AP regardless of grades, etc. They show about 50% in AP classes while Cedar Grove is restrictive based on academic performance and gets dinged…not that WE and Verona aren’t better districts regardless…
Montclair also lets anyone and everyone take AP exams. GR, doesn’t.
Condo – I know last time around that GR got “dinged” because of the amount of AP classes offered. I know they made a big push to expand that with additional offerings – both virtual and onsite.
Also with test scores, as a smaller district (we have under 150 in a graduating class), one of our more colorful BOE members said it only takes one or two dullards or kids who had a bad day to throw off your testing numbers.
#76….agreed..CG only has 93 in graduating class…but a bubble is moving up. Of course I send my kids to over priced Catholic schools..I’m talking about you MSDA!
If schools are anything like any of the other large public sector organizations I’ve worked with, absolutely nothing of any material value can change in a two year period.
The culture of an organization can’t change in two years, god knows that tenure doesn’t allow the quality of the staff to change dramatically either. Parents in the town haven’t changed that much, nor have the student demographics or aptitude.
The districts are “teaching to the test”!!
So putting on the Realtor hat, this is great news, a whole new crop of towns I can sell into, shake it up a bit. Shake up means sales. It’s still early too, better buy now before everyone else learns that XX is the place to be.
Districts that “did well” will have meetings explaining how they were responsible for the success, etc. Those that did not will point out the issues with the reporting methodology, etc.
70. For some reason I can’t find it in my heart to give a shit. I know one thing that I won’t move to Chatham just because it is now the “hot district”. I’d rather live in a place based on the ability of it’s residents to hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
Where’s Dickinson H.S. ranked? :)
Basically the entire school experience boils down to one thing and one thing only: How is your child doing. Are they happy and productive? Are they well adjusted? Do they have a couple of friends to spend their time with. OK, that was four things, but you get the idea. Everything is quantitative horseshit. You could live in the best school district and if YOUR kid isn’t successful then your opinion of that district is going to decline.
80. The trend is that schools want to show growth and develop in every kid in the room. That means whatever you think it means.
My wife has a class that has 40% of kids with IEPs/401(k)s….woops, I mean 504’s
Horray for Hoboken! All the way up to 274. Now if we could just get a BOE budget that increased per student spending to $30k per kid, we could easily crack the top 250.
Related – my oldest started pre-k today in Hoboken. I am determined to be out of here in a year.
My friend’s kid just started school in Montklair today and his teacher didn’t even know he had a 504.
#89…they should have had that list a week or so ago…
My amazement is Manhasset and Garden City where parents must live there and pay sky high taxes due to the Amazing Public Schools.
Then they send their kids to Catholic Schools anyhow. And they vote yes on school budget.
I was coerced by wife to vote yes on last school budget and I live in the town and have three kids in school district and by having a small house any raise hits the bigger houses harder. If I was paying 20K property taxes and catholic school tuition I would go bizerk.
Ayn Rand’s heir’s daughter is moving to Montclair. I warned her about the soc1al1sts there.
They should hire pedophiles and felons to teach in schools in high tax towns. All the parents would pull their kids from the schools and taxes would plumment. Problem solved. We dont need no stinkin schools

“Even though productivity is called the productivity of labor, the amount of capital per worker is the main determinant of the productivity of labor. Productivity usually has more to do with those evil capitalists than those virtuous workers. In this context, today’s GDP weakness is telling. GDP growth didn’t fall because of consumer spending, but because of a chronic lack of business fixed investment (non-residential) spending.
In any case, a rise in wages would be a healthy development, not one to be dreaded. Higher wages would reflect higher productivity relative to the supply of labor and would only be inflationary generally if it triggers massive monetary expansion. But massive monetary expansion would be inflationary no matter what happens to wages.
Forget about wage inflation!”

What you composed was very logical. But, think about this, suppose you added a little information? I am not suggesting your content is not solid., however what if you added a post title to possibly get a person\”s attention? I mean is kinda plain. You ought to look at Yahoo\”s front page and note how they write post headlines to get viewers to open the links. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about everything\”ve got to say. Just my opinion, it would make your website a little livelier. sejwy.pl
