We have even bigger morons in the TSA - topix.net 6-Year-Old Northeast Ohio Girl on 'No Fly' List WESTLAKE, Ohio - Alyssa Thomas, 6, is a little girl who is already under the spotlight of the federal government. Her family recently discovered that Alyssa is on the "no fly" list maintained by U.S. Homeland Security. "We were, like, puzzled," said Dr. Santhosh Thomas. "I'm like, well, she's kinda six-years-old and this is not something that should be typical." Dr. Thomas and his wife were made aware of the listing during a recent trip from Cleveland to Minneapolis. The ticket agent at the Continental counter at Hopkins Airport notified the family. "They said, well, she's on the list. We're like, okay, what's the story? What do we have to do to get off the list? This isn't exactly the list we want to be on," said Dr. Thomas. The Federal Bureau of Investigations in Cleveland will confirm that a list exists, but for national security reasons, no one will discuss who is on the list or why. ******* update - an unnamed spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security has stated that she might be on the list because of "repeated failure to eat all her vegetables".

Over the course of the 20th century, Brazil?s secular growth rate averaged 4.9%. This is why the 5.0% growth rate is such an important reference in the growth debate. Brazil sustained a secular acceleration of growth until the mid-1960s, followed by a spectacular ?take-off? period lasting one decade, until the mid-1970s. Following the two oil shocks and the LDC debt crisis of 1982, Brazil entered the ?lost decade?, marked by financial crises, hyperinflation and economic stagnation. Following the Real stabilisation plan in 1994, Brazil reorganised its finances, eradicated hyperinflation and started to grow again. But the country only managed a fraction of the growth it had achieved up until 1975. ... The main reason for Brazil?s underperformance is that, until now, the government had been in the process of implementing a stabilisation programme, with a view to achieving macroeconomic stability. This is a key precondition for growth. Thanks to these adjustment efforts, macroeconomic conditions are more favourable now than they have been for decades. www2.goldmansachs.com Now Brazil returns to its medium of growing 4 to 5% a year which is its norm.
