今日の出来事から 7月9日(木） 亡霊との戦い？
![In this June 30, 2015 file photo, a Confederate flag flies at the base of Stone Mountain in Stone Mountain, Ga. Mainstream country music has been quietly distancing itself from the Confederate flag for years, but as the debate reignites following a massacre at a black church in South Carolina on June 17, country artists still struggle to articulate their feelings about the flag’s history and symbolism.]({"default":{"load":"default","w":"73","h":"57","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAcKnKy.img?h=574&w=728&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f"},"size3column":{"load":"default","w":"62","h":"49","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAcKnKy.img?h=492&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f"},"size2column":{"load":"default","w":"62","h":"49","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAcKnKy.img?h=492&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f"}})
私が言いたいのは、これで。南北戦争、英語では市民戦争ですが、米国を北と南に分けて国が２分された戦いの南軍の国旗、それがこの旗なのですが、その亡霊と戦っているということです。
たまに、旭日旗を見て、かつての戦争を懐かしいと思うのと似ています。あの旗を朝鮮や中国は戦争の象徴だとも言っていますからね。
まあ、ＳＣ州でいまだにこんな旗が掲げられていたというのもおかしな話です。ＧＡ州ではかなり前から州旗から外されていますからね。
これが現在この旗は比較的新しく2003年から使われています。
かつての旗この旗は１９５６年から2001年まで使われていました。
これが現在のＳｃ州の旗です。つまらない？「月の砂漠」みたいなイメージ？と思いませんか？
これが現在のＮＣ州の旗です。1885年からこのままです。
これがアラバマです。1895年からこのままです。
そしてテネシーです。不細工？1905年からです。今日にもＳＣ州は州知事がサインして、南軍旗は降ろされるようです。
地震の情報です。

福島県は、福島市の兼業農家が2014年に生産したコメから国の基準値を超える放射性物質が検出されたと発表。自家用で市場には流通していません。14年産米での基準値超えは初めてですが、同農家では、東京電力福島第1原発事故後、最初の作付けで、放射性物質の吸収抑制などの対策を講じていなかったそうです。まあ、基準超えて当たり前でしょう。
中国のバブル崩壊はまだ序章に過ぎないとメガバンクの専門家が語っています。ほれみてみい、でしょう？ 私は先週くらいから「ギリシアではないですよ、本丸は中国ですよ」と書いてきたわけです。隠して何ぼの国、これからジワジワ変な数字が出てきて市場を脅かしますよ。
あんな、無茶苦茶なことして普通になるわけない。株価が1年で2.5倍に上がったんですよ、調整あって当たり前です。不動産もそう、景気のために当局が金突っ込んで無理やり建てたみたいなのが山ほどあって、それがゴーストになっている。実際に見たわけではありませんがね、そんな感じでしょうよ、きっと。

![2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack<br>An electronically-controlled exhaust system provides the deep, throaty burble emanating from the dual exhaust pipes. In addition to the engine upgrade, Dodge decks out the Scat Pack with Brembo 4-piston brakes, performance suspension, high-performance tires and 20-inch polished aluminum wheels. Able to reach 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds, the Challenger R/T Scat Pack will certainly fill that need in your life for some good old American muscle.]({"default":{"load":"wait","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAbJ96v.img?h=373&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=1203&y=824"}} "2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat PackAn electronically-controlled exhaust system provides the deep, th... - FCA US")

Full throttle not only pushes you back into the seat, full stomp releases a fantastic roar from the big rear pipes. With extra-long suspension travel, aggressive off-road tires, skidplates, a Torsen limited-slip differential and shift-on-the-fly 4WD, the Raptor is designed for ultimate off-road performance. Stay tuned for more details about the 2017 Raptor —based on the all-new F-150 — to be announced soon.]({"default":{"load":"wait","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAbJJXZ.img?h=373&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f"}} "Ford F-150 SVT RaptorRaptor is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine putting out 411 horsepower.

![2016 Shelby GT350 Mustang<br>It’s not enough to simply have gobs of power — it has to be controllable, so the GT350 features advanced suspension tuning as well as MagneRide dampers. The chassis has also been stiffened, and the GT350 wears the most powerful brakes ever installed on a production Mustang. The 19-inch extra-stiff cast aluminum-alloy wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires add to the overall handling. “When we started working on this car, we wanted to build the best possible Mustang for the places we most love to drive — challenging back roads with a variety of corners and elevation changes — and the track on weekends,” said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president of global product development. At a price around $50,000, the Shelby GT350 seems like a good value.]({"default":{"load":"wait","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAbJ3U4.img?h=373&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f"}} "2016 Shelby GT350 MustangIt’s not enough to simply have gobs of power — it has to be controllable, s... - Ford Motor Company")

A number of unique aero features including a front splitter, rocker panels, belly pans and a rear spoiler create 65 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. Clearly these improvements have been effective — the Camaro ZL1 lapped the famed Nurburgring in just 7:41.27 — faster than the Audi R8 V10.]({"default":{"load":"wait","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAbJMlE.img?h=373&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f"}} "2015 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1With an advanced chassis and suspension system as well as GM’s Magnetic Rid... - General Motors")

![2015 SRT Viper<br>Price: $84,995<br>A true American supercar, the Viper has always been for the pure enthusiast willing to sacrifice some utility and comfort for superior performance. Although early Viper adopters had to give up more than those buying the 2015 version — the current model has comfortable leather-trimmed racing seats, premium materials throughout and (for those who are not professional race drivers) stability and traction control. A customizable instrument cluster displays statistics including zero to 60 mph time, zero to 100 mph time, braking distance and top-speed performance. In no way are we implying that the Viper has gone soft — far from it, dude.]({"default":{"load":"wait","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAbJP0q.img?h=373&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=1438&y=800"}} "2015 SRT ViperPrice: $84,995A true American supercar, the Viper has always been for the pure enthusi... - FCA US")

Built in very small number by Shelby Super Cars (SSC), the Ultimate Aero XT is the final edition of this incredible supercar built in eastern Washington state. Founded by Jerod Shelby (no known relation to Carroll Shelby), SSC started building the Ultimate Aero in 2007. Within a few months, the car earned the title as the world’s fastest production car, hitting 256.14 mph as confirmed by the folks at Guinness World Records.

マイクロソフトは、世界で最大７８００人の人員を削減すると発表しました。大半はスマートフォンのハードウエア部門の従業員です。
同社の従業員は３月末時点で計１１万８６００人。今回の削減数は全従業員のおよそ７％に相当します。
昨年、同社は１万８０００人の人員削減を行っていますが、その大半は、買収して間もないフィンランドの通信機器大手ノキアの携帯端末部門の従業員でした。今回のリストラの費用は７６億ドルです。
天気は暑いのに売り上げは低温注意報です。あー、この大きな違いは何なのか？ 唯一、お客さんが改装した店内を「いいね」と言ってくれていることですかね。
まあ、この地道な努力がやがて実を結ぶことを祈りませう。
