	Third-rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This is one of six ratings (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th) in the rating system of the Royal Navy.
		When the rating system was first established, in the 1670s, the third rate was defined as 70 guns, with second-rates having 90 guns, and fourth-rates 54-60 guns.
		By the end of the 18th century, the rating system had mostly fallen out of common use, ships of the line usually being characterized directly by their number of guns, the numbers even being used as the name of the type, as in "a squadron of three 74s".

	The Daily, Friday, December 10, 2004. Industrial capacity utilization rates
		Industries increased their rate of capacity utilization for the fifth consecutive quarter between July and September, thanks mainly to the strength of the manufacturing sector.
		Rates have been revised retroactively to the first quarter of 1998 to reflect the revised source data.
		The increase in the rate was largely due to higher capacity utilization in 17 of 21 groups in the manufacturing sector.

	Seattle City Light - Notices, Accouncements & Information
		It is clear now that the third tier is causing bill impacts far beyond what the City Council intended when they adopted this rate as an incentive for reducing consumption by the utility's largest residential consumers.
		The rates that were established were evaluated as being roughly consistent with the energy prices we were seeing in the Energy Crisis, roughly $200 MWH in the first half of 2001.
		While most customers who have seen third tier bills saw bi-monthly increases in the hundreds of dollars, there have been cases (beyond the billing errors cases) where the amounts are over $1,000 for the billing cycle.

	Boston.com / Business / Fed boosts rate for third time in 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Yet, some economists said that by raising rates, the Fed could be viewed as appearing comfortable about the pace of the economy's expansion, which could be seen as good for the Bush campaign.
		Private economists believe the economy, which grew at a 2.8 percent annual rate in the second quarter of this year, expanded at a 3 percent to 4 percent pace in the July-to-September quarter.
		A series of 13 rate reductions from January 2001 to June 2003 left the funds rate at 1 percent as the Fed battled to help an economy staggered by a series of blows: a plunging stock market, the 2001 recession, terror attacks and two wars.

	Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Permits were issued in the third quarter at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 1,581,000 units, 4 percent ahead of the second quarter's rate and 9 percent ahead of the rate of the third quarter of 1997.
		Because sales rates during every month in 1998 were at a greater seasonally adjusted annual rate than the annual 1997 rate, it is safe to predict that 1998 will be the best year on record for existing home sales.
		The third-quarter rental vacancy rate was 8.2 percent, an increase of 0.2 percentage point from the second quarter and an increase of 0.3 percentage point from the third quarter of 1997.

		In the third quarter, consumers ratcheted up spending at a 5.1 percent rate, the fastest pace since the end of 2001.

	Terps Suffering From Third-Rate Efficiency
		And the struggles have come in every possible scenario: in Maryland's own territory and at the opposing team's goal line, on third and short and on third and long, in the first quarter and with the game on the line, on running plays and on passing plays, on the field and in the huddle.
		But on third downs he has completed just 12 of 33 throws and his efficiency rating dips to 75.7, which would leave him out of the NCAA's top 100 passers.
		The Terps have also made several of their most gnawing mistakes on third downs: two delay of game penalties, a broken protection that led to a sack and a fumble, two interceptions and a poorly thrown deep ball last Saturday that missed an open Danny Melendez.

	Seattle City Council News Release: Councilmember Wills Preserves Third Tier Rate
		Over the last year, the third tier has affected the number of customers it expected to: it was charged to the top 1-3% of the highest electricity users.
		The new changes to the third tier would affect 30 known low-income customers in the winter and 9 would have consumption levels in the third tier during the summer.
		The Committee gave City Light clear direction that identified third tier customers should be called and notified about their energy consumption and given every opportunity to utilize assistance programming in the form of rates and energy efficiency measures.

	ABC News: Economy Grows at 3.7 Percent Annual Rate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The 3.7 percent GDP growth rate in the third quarter is likely to be followed by a similar growth rate in the final three months of this year, analysts said.
		The increase in wages and salaries in the third quarter was 0.7 percent, the fastest rate in a year, while the costs of health insurance and other benefits, which have been soaring, rose by just 1.1 percent, the slowest increase in more than two years.
		The Fed is expected to raise interest rates for a fourth time this year when policy-makers next meet on Nov. 10, but some analysts believe, given the lackluster GDP and job growth, the Fed may skip a rate increase at its December meeting.

	What a Week: Third Rate Hike Is Not a Charm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Probably, but the confluence of events generated discussion about the old adage "three steps and a stumble," which refers to the notion that a third-successive rate hike is not charming for stocks.
		On Tuesday, the Fed tightened for the third time this summer, and major averages closed lower for the week: The Dow lost 2.3% while the SandP 500 fell 1.6% and the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.5%.
		Arguably, it might take at least three rate hikes for some traders to believe the Fed really is going to take away the proverbial punch bowl, and history has shown Gould's rule is worth heeding.

		Before that, the most spectacular third rate cut was in August 1982.
		But if he takes his usual gradualist path, and this third rate cut is just third-rate, expect a lot more bears on a lot more magazine covers.

	A third bank rate cut is required
		By cutting the bank rate by a one-half percentage point to 7 per cent, 24 hours after the Union Budget, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Bimal Jalan has surprised everyone, as he did a fortnight earlier when the bank rate was cut to 7.5 per cent from 8 per cent.
		Had he announced this on the Budget day itself, not only would the surprise element have gone, he would have also drawn flak from the public, as his move would have confirmed that the RBI is nothing but an arm of the government, and its autonomy is but a myth.
		The bank rate cut to 7.5 per cent, coming as it did a fortnight before the Budget, was dramatic.

		The University ranked third in lowest crime rates for the most populated U.S. four--year universities, while Texas A&M was ranked first.
		Van Slyke attributed the University's low violent crime rate to its close proximity to the Capitol, with numerous state troopers, Austin police officers and UTPD officers patrolling the area.

		The revised rate structure significantly reduced the number of customers that are affected by the third tier, as well as the size of the difference between the second and third tiers.
		The motive for adopting a third tier rate was very much in tune with Seattle's environmental values and the principles of public power.
		Having a third tier rate certainly would not cause any of them financial hardship, but appears to have gotten their attention and stimulated conservation actions that ultimately benefit all ratepayers and the environment.

		NEW YORK CITY - Third class bulk mail ranks last in importance of the four United States Postal Service (USPS) subclasses, according to a recent survey that was initiated by the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) and conducted by The Gallup Organization.
		In the DMA poll, many respondents expressed a feeling that third class mail is delivered late and that its sheer volume helps delay delivery of other classes of mail.
		A rate increase in second class mail, for example, would have to be quadrupled if the USPS wanted to produce the revenue of a third class increase.

	Titanic Disaster: Official Casualty Figures and Commentary
		Because the survival rate for women was far greater than the survival rate for men, we would thus expect a much higher survival rate for first class passengers as a whole than for third class passengers as a whole.
		This method shows that the expected overall survival rate for first class passengers was 44.68%, for second class 40.46%, for third class 36.32%, and for crew 21.38%.
		The more primitive approach -- taken by most writers on this subject -- is to divide the first-class overall survival rate (62.46%) by the overall average survival rate (31.97%), conclude that first-class passengers were twice as likely to survive as the average passenger, and attribute all this variance to class.
