The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of September 30th, 2012

By Frazier Allen | September 30, 2012 |

Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

The economic data were mixed, but mostly disappointing. Consumer confidence improved in September and the Case-Shiller Home Price Index continued to rise. Real GDP rose at a 1.3% annual rate in the 3^rd estimate for 2Q12 (vs. +1.7% in the 2^nd estimate). Personal income rose 0.1% in August (+3.5% y/y). Spending rose 0.5%, but gasoline accounted for about 80% of that. The PCE Price Index rose 0.4% (+1.5% y/y), up 0.1% ex-food & energy (+1.6% y/y) – trending below the Fed’s 2% target. Durable goods orders plunged 13.2%, partly reflecting a drop in civilian aircraft orders (which went negative due to order cancelations). «Read the rest of this article»

Natural growth is the culprit for some; poor diets and a lack of exercise are the causes for many others. «Read the rest of this article»

Austin Peay State University exploring cutting-edge friction stir welding process

September 30, 2012 |

Clarksville, TN – In 1991, The Welding Institute in England discovered a strange new method for joining two metals together without melting the two pieces in a traditional fusion welding process.

The process, known as friction stir welding, softened and deformed the metals and then forged them together as one using a rotating tool. The welding process used heat and force to join the metals, similar in nature to the way blacksmiths forged swords and armor in the Middle Ages.
