 The Agonist: Economy Grows at 4.4 Percent Rate in First Quarter
Although consumers and the federal government did their part to support the economy in the first quarter, the better reading on GDP for the period in large part reflected stronger investment by businesses to build up inventories, a good sign that companies are more confident about the economy's prospects.
Although that was lower than the 2 percent pace first estimated, it still represented a pickup from the 1.2 percent growth rate in the previous quarter.
While that was less brisk than first estimated and down from a 14.9 percent growth rate in the fourth quarter, it still represented a sizable advance.

Businesses cut spending on equipment and software in the first quarter at an annual rate of 6.3 percent, a deeper reduction than previously estimated and a reversal from the fourth quarter's 6.2 percent growth rate.

Unlike six months ago when the Fed last cut interest rates, the economic train is on track and the journey toward recovery is well under way.
Along the way, we'll pass through a town known as "rising interest rates" and all indications are that it will be more than just a whistle-stop.
Though projections of the first rate hike have been all over the map, including some that say nothing will happen until 2005, the federal funds rate futures market indicates otherwise.

 Chemical Sciences: First-Order Rate Laws
The first-order rate law is one of the most common forms of the rate law.

Rising long-term interest rates can make returns on debt look more attractive than returns on equity investments, especially if companies aren't earning enough with respect to their share prices.
The theory is widely followed among investors in financial stocks, which are generally viewed as interest plays and often move inversely to the direction of rates.

But the actions of state legislatures, in considering rate caps for the first time on dealers' auto loan markups, could usher in further dealership regulations.

After all, it certainly is a boon for consumers, as compared to the higher rates that dealers had charged in the past.

The moment came right after the New England Patriots made the 32nd pick in the 2004 NFL draft - signaling the official end of the first round.

 Should the FEC Regulate Political Blogging? | Personal Democracy Forum
So I expect that the FEC will propose only modest regulation, mostly to insure that, as under current law, campaigns and committees fully disclose amounts spent on political advertising to appear on websites.
But it is worth considering what the FEC should do, consistent with the goals of campaign finance law and the First Amendment.
With a mixture of sarcasm and anger, I would point out that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution overrules the FEC, despite what some zealous advocates of "good government," i.e.

 'Spider' weaves a first-rate web of suspense   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Hollywood is running scared these days, terrified of a growing grass-roots demand for censorship, sensitive to the charges that it deliberately markets violent junk to kids, and suddenly trying to enforce the old MPAA rating system in a kind of panic.
And Paramount is said to be particularly scared of its "Along Came a Spider," which centers on the kidnapping of a preteen girl by a psycho.
A sequel to 1997's "Kiss the Girls," but based on the first book in James Patterson's Alex Cross series, it again stars Morgan Freeman as a psychologist-detective playing a cat-and-mouse game with a enigmatic, challenging kidnapper (Michael Wincott).
