I thought monetarists had gone extinct, certainly don't hear anything of money supply targets these days.... a grand right-wing social experiment that destroyed industry, jobs and not a few lives along the way.
Rob - yes the long term issues are important. Hitting 1.4000 (or even 1.0000 in today's other news story) has no more significance than the Da Vinci Code or the Bible Code.

Hey 33k, next time you're in Brooklyn or South Philly, or Detroit, make your opinions known at the local union hall. We'll send you back home with a new found religion to go along with your Christo-Capital one. You'll also be glad you have socialized medicine where you live - you'll need it.
Go on then, just shoot the messenger.
btw, exchange rates has nothing to do with an employer squeezing the workforce or you or anyone.
Your socialist comrades around the western world have often devalued their currencies in order to help employment, prosperity and growth. But do please go ahead and continue on the side of the capitalists.
Treating the greenback as a national virility symbol will only leave you and your colleagues impotent.
On a positive note .... at least it makes subscribing to sermonaudio cheaper for everyone outside of the USA.
More seriously, the article doesn't focus on the shift in currency markets to the currencies of the extractors of natural resources. The US is seen primarily as a producer of manufactured goods and of services. Accordingly the USD has been in decline since long before the sub-prime mortgage market got rattled.
Of course, the fall in the value of a currency can actually be a very good thing for an economy, so don't be disheartened. Also, in one sense it will be good for the US labour market as less jobs will be 'exported' to low cost countries as the cost savings are now proportionately lower.
Regardless of the age of the boy, this should not come as too much of a surprise.
'A' levels were always regarded as a very stringent set of exams, among the toughest in the world.
When going for visits to prospective universities it was routine to be told by the students there that if you could pass 'A' levels you would have little difficulty at university. The emphasis however in the comments was always on the rigour of the 'A' levels.
.... of course 'A' levels are reputed to be easier these days, particularly for prodigies....
"Many students .... know firsthand about forced termination of church staff, conflict within congregations and a perceived lack of respect for church leaders"
Could it be that it is the conduct of some pastors gives biblical grounds for the erosion of respect once given, causes conflict in the church and gives biblical grounds for dismissal?
"Let's keep things in perspective. For so many to smell something rotten, something must be rotten."
Whilst agreeing with this comment, surely we can't just simply blame the congregations? Congregations need to be pastored biblically and taught to think and very importantly act and vote biblically. If the congregation do not act biblically we still have to examine the responsibility of the pastors who have sinfully omitted to pursue and instill conduct that in their congregation.
If a pastor, having done all things well, is still dismissed from a church, he should count that a blessing of providence from God's hand. And yes, he should have a trade or skill to take to the marketplace.
Lying under oath you say? No great surprise either in politics or law these days. Still, at least he has now resigned. Perhaps this is an area where pastors should show more leadership?
I don't agree that the content disputes the headline. Consider the cumulative effect of 196,000 British citizens emigrating each year.
Previous studies have shown the cumulative effect of all this emigration are that 5.5 million British citizens, or 1 in 10 of all British born people, now live abroad.
That's not just an ex-pat community in Australia, Spain, USA, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand ... it's a Diaspora.

Please don't downplay the great truth set forth by Christ.
"Troy Lyndon, the producer of the game, said the game's "warfare" is not violent, and that it emphasizes "spiritual battles" over fighting with guns. The game gives incentives to recruit believers instead of KILLING the forces of the Antichrist, according to Lyndon.
Lyndon added, "There is no forcible conversion to Christianity, and killing is never an objective in any of the 40 missions in the game." "
With such a man-centred religion it is no wonder that you failed.
"We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon...the CAPACITY of each and all of US to govern OURSELVES, to control OURSELVES, to sustain OURSELVES….."
Given the way the loonie is soaring against the greenback (up 53% in 5.5 years) we can also expect to see all the hardworking, diligent and industrious also heading north as well as the freeloaders.
As is often said on these forums:- "follow the money!"
