A number of factors could be in play--more random death for women in general in the name of honor, higher illness-leading-to-death because women aren't worth wasting medical care on, women killing baby daughters either to please their male relatives' need for boys, or to spare them from the life they have in store.

Even still, 23% in Qatar seems ridiculously low. I do wonder if that's partly due to under-reporting because the women aren't considered people.

According to the Internets, it's the incoming contractors in oil and construction.

The article calls it "accidental."

Riiiight, because sometimes a stadium is just a stadium.

I can't say much about the other major cities, but yeah, Austin's stayed a high-growth area throughout the economic woes of the last decade. Even when the housing bubble burst, they kept right on building and successfully selling new homes right across the highway from me.

ooooo looks like a hump day opportunity!

btw... Texas did have a nice run from 2008 on up but you can plot other states from their individual bottoms to skew similarly.

Yeah but not every state... somebody had to go down for the overall US numbers to be at a loss. Admittedly, it could all just be Detroit.

I went looking for what the lone hit song about Thursday might be, and found it in the original article for Bruce's graphic: "Sweet Thursday," Johnny Mathis 1962.

This is an interesting document with some interesting graphs and charts if someone knows how to clip them. The bottom line is a somewhat different economy in Texas. Texas had pretty consistent higher unemployment than the country as a whole until around 2006. From then on Texas performed better than the rest of the country. Now with energy prices sinking we'll see if its a sustainable thing.

Goats everywhere, The Washington Post has an interactive map where you can check county by county.

No way. Over the years I gotten many people's goats, and never given them back.
No one knows the number or where they are now.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-28-2015, 11:14 PM

Obviously you left them, or they wandered to, Texas.

"I'll just reach up into this jointer and clear out the chips... I'll just reach under this mower and clear out the clogged grass... I'll just stick my hand into this snowblower to loosen up the packed snow... Let me look down into this barrel and see why the gun didn't go off..."

There's a youtube video of the last one. The guy won the Bronze medal in the Darwin competition.
