The International Energy Agency's monthly Oil Market Report came out negative today for crude oil prices. The IEA cut its 2006 global crude oil demand growth forecast by 220,000 barrels per day, or 15 percent, as a result of lower first-quarter consumption and indications high crude oil prices are slowing demand.
We had been expecting such a revision as the agency's prior 1.47- million bpd growth forecast was well above last year's 1-million- bpd demand increase, said analysts at Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Company Inc. of Arlington, Va. Our 2006 crude oil price forecast is $59 a barrel. However, this may prove to be too low given that prices have averaged $65 a barrel year to date and are now $73 a barrel.

After a bit of a nomadic existence, the Charlie West Blues Fest has found a home for its fourth year right downtown at Haddad Riverfront Park. Jack Rice hopes its there to stay. As president of the West Virginia Blues Society, which produces the event, Rice believes Riverfront Park is perfectly situated for the two-day event. We had it at Coonskin Park our first year, and we got hit by a really bad storm, he said. Thank God for good sponsors we were still able to pull it out in the black by $400, $500. The second year we held it at Oakes Field in South Charleston, and we got hit with a major storm again. Last year we held it at the ballpark (Appalachian Power Park), and thats when we really started to get our legs underneath us. The blues fest now is free, thanks to a growing list of ...

an early spring The world's most famous groundhog predicted an early spring this morning. Punxsutawney Phil emerged just after dawn on Groundhog Day to make his 125th annual weather forecast in front of a smaller-than-usual crowd who braved muddy, icy conditions to hear his handlers reveal that he had not seen his shadow. Including today's forecast, Phil has seen his shadow 98 times and hasn't seen it just 16 times since 1887, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle, which runs the event. There are no records for the remaining years, though the group has never failed to issue a forecast.

State and federal revenues fell well short of projections in 2002. While revenues normally turn down in a recession, those revenue shortfalls were much greater than would have been expected given how mild the 2001 recession turned out to be. This paper examines some of the reasons for the large forecast variances observed in recent years using specific examples from forecasts made for the state of Minnesota. Key factors identified include inaccurate forecast for U.S. economic growth; inadequate, untimely and inaccurate data; imperfect models; and unrecognized changes in the structure of the economy. These factors came together and reinforced each other, ultimately producing a larger reduction in state revenues than could have been anticipated in advance.
