 Fourth-rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some fourth rates did remain in active service even during the Napoleonic Wars, especially in the shallow North Sea, where the Royal Navy's main opponents were the Baltic powers and the Dutch, whose own fleet consisted mainly of 50 and 64 gun ships.
However, HMS Leander, 50 guns, was with Horatio Nelson at the Battle of the Nile.
As late as 1807, fourth rates were active in combat zones, illustrated by the fatal incident between HMS Leopard (50 guns), and the US frigate Chesapeake (38 guns), an incident which nearly led to war.

Low high school graduation rates, or high dropout rates, reflect potential quality problems in public school systems and, in the long term, can undermine the competitiveness of the work force and contribute to broader social ills.
In 2002, according to Morgan Quitno Press, the national graduation rate differential was 24.6 percentage points between white and African-American students and 20.9 percentage points between white and Hispanic students.
In contrast, the NC graduation rate differential was 16.5 percentage points between white and African-American students and 9.2 percentage points between white and Hispanic students.

 Iran official confident of 8% economic growth rate in 4th 5-year plan
An Iranian key economic figure solemnly believes that the country will manage to meet an economic growth rate of eight percent in the fourth five-year economic development plan (2005-10), saying it is not a dream or inaccessible goal, IRNA reported from Semnan.
The IMF said that Iran's economy had passed a desirable stage in the 2002-2003 period due to growth in its gross domestic product, falling unemployment rate in recent years, reduction in its foreign debts and growth in its international reserves.
Shirakvand also unveiled plans to lower inflation rate, pegging it at a one-digit code almost close to 10 percent as has been stipulated by the fourth plan.

 Budget growth rate 4th-highest in nation - Wednesday, 07/11/01   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
With a recent national survey showing Gov. Don Sundquist's proposed budget as the fourth-highest in the nation in its rate of growth, critics contend it is evidence of a government propelled by a drive for extravagant spending.
''I don't think Tennessee can keep growing at this rate,'' said state Rep. Mae Beavers, R-Mt. Juliet, who has frequently called for reform in the state's spending practices, trends she believes are largely driven by the escalating costs of TennCare.
The state House passed a budget yesterday that relies on stiff cuts in the governor's recommended budget additions, which would reduce Tennessee's growth to 5.2%; 13 states in the survey had higher rates.

 The New York Times > Business > Fed Raises Interest Rate a 4th Time, to 2 Percent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee raised the federal funds rate on overnight loans between banks by a quarter point, to 2 percent, a move that was widely expected.
Saying that monetary policy is still "accommodative," the central bank repeated its assertion of the last several months that it would continue to raise short-term rates at a "measured pace" from their historic lows earlier this year.
After adjusting for inflation, the "real" federal funds rate is barely equal to zero after being solidly negative for the last two years.

 Fed rate hike all but certain; what will central bank say? - Jun. 29, 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Fed has been saying since last May that it planned to keep raising rates "at a pace that is likely to be measured," which investors have bet means more quarter-point hikes, with the Fed more worried about inflation than a slowing economy.
And despite comments from renowned bond investor Bill Gross this week that the Fed may actually cut rates later this year, and news that some European banks are hinting at rate cuts, it seems unlikely that the Fed would shift course so quickly and begin to lower rates unless the economy took a nose-dive.
Greenspan has called it a "conundrum" that the long-term rates set by the market are falling while the Fed has been raising short rates.

While solid by historic standards, the pace of growth in the final three months of last year marked a sharp slowdown from the 20-year-high 8.2 percent rate logged in the third quarter.
The slower pace in the October-December period came as consumers curbed their spending after splurging in the third quarter, when pocketbooks were fattened with tax cuts.
Helped by a weaker dollar, exports also turned in a strong performance, rising at a revised 21 percent rate, a couple notches above last month's estimate and the biggest jump in seven years.
