Many manufacturers are passing along higher input costs to their customers, a sign that rising prices for wheat, cotton, iron, and other commodities could increasingly reach consumers in coming months, according to the Federal Reserve’s beige book survey.
The report, a summary of economic conditions across the central bank’s 12 regional districts, said manufacturers “in a number of districts reported having greater ability” to pass through higher costs. “Retailers in some districts mentioned they had implemented price increases or were anticipating such action in the next few months,” the Fed said.
It’s good to see that the Fed is at least dimly aware that price inflation is in the pipe and coming soon to a market near you. The rest of the world has had no such difficulties in detecting inflation, especially on news like this:

Note: This post deals with personal security, one of the most asked-for topics by this community. However, we realize it is a sensitive if not scary topic for some. The intent here is have an open and mature exploration of an important subject. Please respect the author's efforts to do just that.
My wife and I live in Philadelphia on the “green line” between mostly-prosperous Center City and mostly-wasteland North Philadelphia. People are very aware of crime around here, as you might imagine, and many people have taken numerous steps to avoid becoming victims. That being said, I am still surprised on a nearly daily basis how unprepared and unaware some people are. (I’m a Police Sergeant, so I see many people who have been caught off guard by criminals. And that’s a very important first tip: If the criminal cannot catch you off guard and unprepared, he’s most likely going to pick a different victim. But that doesn’t account for intoxicated/drugged criminals, very inexperienced criminals, and professional criminals.)
