Gas: $1.45 that's cash OR credit price

Ford Motor Company:  stocked jumped 10% Monday.....still bouncing just under $3.00 per share.  Profit before the meltdown was predicted to be $1.40 a share in 2009.  I think it was $6.50 a share then.

Unemployment:  real rate is about 10 percentage points higher if methodology used prior to Clinton Administration is used .  Figures don't lie, but Liar Figure.  The "new math" does not include those who have been unemployed for more than a year.

Conway Freight:  cut 80 jobs in Ann Arbor.   I thought they were going to be relocating the staff from Port Huron, Flint and Grand Rapids to the Ann Arbor Office.

Publishing:  Miami Herald 4-Sale along with Rocky Mountain News.  New York Times looking for a sale - lease back of their headquarters and other papers cutting press days and letting the website do the work for the other days.

Education:   NEA teacher blasts Open Source Software Co for giving software to kids.  Here is the response letter of Ken Starks of HeliOS Solutions I just became a fan and a customer.  "No Child Without Linux"
