Get answers to your SIR-Spheres questions.
Dr. Navesh Sharma's Bio | Q&A Archive
The University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center (UMGCC) in Baltimore offers a treatment for inoperable liver cancer known as Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT).
SIRT is a non-surgical outpatient therapy that uses radioactive microspheres, called SIR-Spheres®, to deliver radiation directly to the site of the liver tumors. This unique, targeted therapy spares healthy tissue while delivering up to 40 times more radiation to the liver tumors than would be possible using conventional radiotherapy.
Our physicians are very experienced at using microscopic beads to treat inoperable liver cancer. In 2000, UMGCC was the first center in the nation to successfully perform liver-directed therapy with TheraSpheres -- which used microscopic glass beads to deliver radiation to liver tumors. SIR-Spheres, developed by the Sirtex Medical, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2002 for patients with primary colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is the latest of a wide range of liver-directed therapies we offer to best meet our patients' needs.
Our multidisciplinary team of gastrointestinal cancer specialists hold weekly conferences to review each patient's records and determine the best treatment plan. The team includes surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians and pathologists, among others.
Our Liver Directed Therapies Program includes a full array of treatment options for patients with primary and metastatic liver cancer. In addition to SIRT and traditional surgery, chemotherapy and radiation approaches, these treatment options include:
While treatment with SIR-Spheres®, is generally not regarded as a cure, it has been shown to shrink liver cancer when combined with chemotherapy, more than chemotherapy alone. This can increase patients' life expectancy and improve their quality of life.

Idenix Provides Update On IDX184 Clinical Development Program
IDX184 has been placed on partial clinical hold by FDA
Management to host a conference call webcast today at 8:30 am ET
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Idenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDIX), a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of drugs for the treatment of human viral diseases, today announced that the Company received verbal notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that a partial clinical hold has been placed on IDX184, the Company's nucleotide polymerase inhibitor under development for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV).
As a result of the recent occurrence of a serious cardiac-related adverse event encountered with a competitor's nucleotide polymerase inhibitor for the treatment of HCV, the FDA has expressed an interest in further reviewing the safety of IDX184 and has placed IDX184 on partial clinical hold. In previous clinical trials as well as the ongoing phase IIb clinical trial of IDX184 in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin (PegIFN/RBV), there has been no evidence to date of cardiotoxicity in patients dosed with IDX184 with PegIFN/RBV beyond that seen with PegIFN/RBV alone. There are currently no patients receiving IDX184 worldwide. The FDA has requested additional data on patients treated with IDX184. Patient safety is our main concern and Idenix will immediately begin work to comply with the FDA request and expects to submit these data to the FDA in the coming weeks. The Company intends to have an ongoing discussion with the FDA following the submission of this data. ABOUT IDX184 IDX184 is an unpartnered, novel, liver-targeted nucleotide prodrug of 2'-methyl guanosine, which includes Idenix's proprietary liver-targeting technology. This technology enables the delivery of nucleoside monophosphate to the liver, leading to the formation of high levels of nucleoside triphosphate, potentially maximizing drug efficacy and limiting systemic side effects with low, once-daily dosing. The Company reported interim data in June 2012 for the first cohort of 31 patients from an ongoing phase IIb clinical trial of IDX184 in combination with PegIFN/RBV. Of the patients who achieved an extended rapid virologic response (undetectable levels of virus at 4 weeks and 12 weeks) and completed an additional 12 weeks of PegIFN/RBV (n=9), 100% of patients (4/4) in the 100 mg arm and 80% of patients (4/5) in the 50 mg arm achieved a sustained virologic response four weeks after the completion of treatment (SVR4).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Update: Expedition Ship Aground in Arctic Free at Last
Update, 9:30 a.m. EDT: The Canadian Press has reported that the Clipper Adventurer, which ran aground during an Arctic expedition cruise last month, is finally afloat. The vessel was freed from a rock on Tuesday using four commercial tugs. The Coast Guard says there were no leaks due to this incident. Meanwhile, a mapping expert from the University of New Brunswick told Web site
that, despite earlier reports that the ship struck an uncharted rock, the vessel actually ran into a known hazard -- an underwater cliff.
According to a statement on Adventure Canada's
Web site
, the remainder of the ship's 2010 season has been canceled.
(August 30, 8:17 a.m. EDT) -- Passengers on an Arctic expedition cruise got more adventure then they bargained for this weekend after their ship ran aground near Kugluktuk, a small town in Northern Canada's Nunavut territory, and remained stuck there for two days awaiting Coast Guard assistance.
Nobody was injured in the incident (Canadian Coast Guard spokeswoman Theresa Nichols told
there were an estimated 128 passengers and 69 crewmembers onboard); travelers were in "good spirits," according to Adventure Canada's statement, enjoying "onboard programming and hospitality" throughout the weekend.
The Clipper Adventurer, owned by Mississauga, Ontario-based Adventure Canada, became lodged on an uncharted rock on Friday, August 27, at approximately 7:10 p.m. local time. A statement on the company's Web site says the ship was en route from Port Epworth to Kugluktuk and that, at the time, "the seas were calm, sunny conditions and good visibility with no wind or swell."
After unsuccessful attempts on Saturday to dislodge the vessel during high tide, the Canadian Coast Guard came to the rescue; according to CNN, an icebreaker arrived on the scene Sunday to transport passengers to Kugluktuk. Adventure Canada arranged to fly the stranded travelers to Edmonton last night.
Among those onboard the impacted voyage was Adventure Canada CEO Matthew Swan. "We were on a single line track here that indicated we had 68 metres of water directly under us, when we found ourselves on a rock," Swan told Canada's CBC News. "It's a part of the world where you do your best, but there are blank spots on the map."
The ship remains grounded with a slight list. Interestingly, "The Handmaid's Tale" author Margaret Atwood was supposed to sail onboard the next Northwest Passage cruise as a lecturer. She'll now have to wait. Canada's
CBC News
reports that it is up to the tour operator to pull the vessel off the rock with tugboats.
"We certainly plan to do the trip next year -- a lot of people we're with have said the same thing," she told CBC News.
Stay tuned.

Albury Court Hotel
We booked a 2 night stay at Albury Court which was cut short by bad weather/ferry issues.
The pros: Amazingly good staff, friendly, helpful and allowed us out of our second night at no charge well past check out time so we could get to the last ferry running ahead of a storm (the ferry ride is another story……). The Hotel is situated perfectly for anyone who likes to explore Old Town and/or the newer areas.
We walked everywhere. Planned to rent bikes but the weather precluded that. Cute rooms, average size for historic KW area. Pool is nothing to write home about, but who goes to KW for a hotel swimming pool, for Pete's sake…. It is excellent for lounging with sangria or beer, on the other hand. Only negative comment is that it was a bit pricey, but after checking around after the fact, it was very reasonable for KW at high season.
Recommended highly and 4.5 pineapples. It would get 5 but the bathroom tile needed a little maintenance work.

We love the Keys and prefer to stay at small, quaint Inns when we travel. We were greeted by two very nice, friendly gentlemen at the front desk who were very knowledgeable about the Inn and its surrounding areas, including restaurants and a place to rent a moped who had a nice service of free pick up/return. The room we had was on the second floor with a beautiful balcony. The continental breakfast was fresh and perfect for a good start to the day. The room was clean, decorated nicely and just perfect. The weather was cool when we were there and we opened the windows for a fresh breeze. My Husband and I have our own busy business and he surprised me with a nice weekend getaway for Valentine's Day. We always celebrate special occasions at La Trattoria on Duval. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is quiet and quaint. I highly recommend Albury Court if you like a special place that's in a great location but, close enough to the excitement that Key West has to offer.

My partner Jim and I stayed in Key West at this quaint and clean guest house from February 12 – 17. We have a unique perspective because we actually stayed in two different rooms. At first, we were booked upstairs in a smallish room with no bureau. It did have a gas-fired fireplace which i found odd. I would have rather had a bureau than a fireplace because there was no place to put our smaller clothing items. There was a small closet but two people had to share it. There was also a sky-light above the queen size bed and the light of day shone in early. That's ok if you are an early riser. But Jim and I like to sleep in. There was no way to shade this skylight so it was hard to make the room dark when the sun was bright. I found this upstairs room small for two people.
I asked if I could be moved downstairs since I walk with a cane and the stairs were doable but a challenge. The staff was very accommodating and said I could indeed move to a lower level room. Room A1 was much better. No skylight to wake us (room above us) and a bureau that two people could share. It was clean, quaint and comfortable. My only complaints are that the walls are paper thin as we could here a baby crying next door and the conversation of two people. Also, the air conditioner blows directly on the bed in your face. There is really no way to adjust it to another direction. These are minor complaints that probably come with any similar accommodation and it would not stop us from staying at Albury Court again. Very professional and competent staff, great cleaning staff, comfortable restroom and beds. What more could you ask for?

My wife and I stayed in a second-floor room with a king bed and private balcony at the Albury Court Hotel on a February Wednesday to Sunday to celebrate friends' Friday night wedding in Key West. The location was perfect, with an easy walking distance to all of Old Town–from the North end of Duval Street, to the Southernmost Point, to the Westin Pier where the wedding was located. When we couldn't walk due to time constraints, being tired from all of the walking, or dressed in formal attire, a reasonably-priced cab ride was only a few minutes away with pick-up right outside the front desk office.
Our hotel room was clean, the king bed was comfortable, and the private balcony was perfect for people-watching or reading. The continental breakfast every morning was a refreshing way to the start each day and help recover from the night before.
The staff was friendly, helpful, professional, and the grounds were clean and appealing. Overall we had a great time and will strongly consider this property and any of the other properties in the company's portfolio when we stay in Key West. Thank you for the enjoyable experience and keep up the great work.

When we arrived to check in to the hotel the staff were very responsive and extremely friendly. Our room was clean and in order when we got to it, however, we were missing an iron and ironing board. We called the front desk and within a few minutes someone arrived at our door with the requested items. Everyone was very friendly and responsive – the only exception were the staff that handled the breakfast each morning. It's not that they were not helpful, their level of attention and care was not as quite as high as everyone else's appeared to be. Speaking of breakfast – it was good each morning and the area in which it was served was very well kept. We very much enjoyed our visit and look forward to another visit soon!

A black hole slingshot?
(Read article summary)Evidence for a recoiling black hole has been spotted some 4 billion light years away.
X-ray: NASA/CXC/SAO/F.Civano et al. Optical: NASA/STScI
Evidence for a recoiling black hole has been found using data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, XMM-Newton, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and several ground-based telescopes. A new paper reports that this black hole kickback was caused either by a slingshot effect produced in a triple black hole system, or from the effects of gravitational waves produced after two supermassive black holes merged a few million years earlier.
The discovery of this object, located in this composite image, comes from a large, multi-wavelength survey, known as the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS). This survey includes data from Chandra, HST, XMM-Newton, as well as ground-based observatories. Of the 2,600 X-ray sources found in COSMOS, only one -- named CID-42 and located in a galaxy about 3.9 billion light years away -- coincides with two very close, compact optical sources. In this image, the X-ray source detected by Chandra is colored blue, while the Hubble data are seen in gold. The two white sources near the center of the image are seen in the optical HST data, but they are too close for Chandra to resolve them separately.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Does anyone know what font was used in this flyer?
I don't think it's a font but lettering, unless it's an OT font with looooooooooots of alternates.
so you think someone designed it by hand?
Yup. Someone took a pen and wrote it by hand, Unbelievable, ain't it?
Reminds me of Thinaire, but they're not similar in construction — only thin, narrow and wobbly. Also in the same vein: Annike, Hannah and Strangelove.
thanks for those references. very helpful!
if anyone else has suggestions, please send my way! : )
The font is Huxley Vertical with a little distortion

How People Watch TV in Bird City
Here are some interesting facts about Bird City, KS from CableTV.com. For example, have you heard that 1/3 of American homes have 4 televisions or more? In your city, that means 135 people have one TV for every major network. And did you know that DVR use is rapidly growing in America? DVR recordings now account for 7% of all TV viewing. But there are still 339 Bird City residents who prefer their programs regularly scheduled. It might also be interesting to know that an estimated 294 people in your city get a bundle package with TV and Internet together.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I'm a sucker for "Seen On TV" products! I usually purchase these products at Bath, Bath, & Beyond due to their return policy if I am not satisfied. The products cost a little more, for the TV advertisements usually offer "two for the price of one." After paying shipping, I believe the cost is a wash. The product I will review is the Lint Lizard. Description: The Lint Lizard is a vacuum attachment that is secured to the end of your vacuum hose to clean out the lint from deep down in your dryer. This attachment works like a magic wand that cleans out lint from the dryer trap in no time flat. Of course, how well it removes lint, depends on the suction power of your vacuum. The Lint Lizard fits on most any vacuum. There are only three pieces to the Lint Zizard: the hose, a vacuum adapter, and the Lint Lizard itself. The vacuum adapter and Lint Lizard are green in color and the hose is clear. The Lint Lizard fits into the adapter. The adapter is then securely attached to your vacuum hose. The clear hose attaches to the end of the Lint Lizard. The hose measures 30" in length and the entire product with both the adapter and Lint Lizard attached measures 43" in length. It reaches deep into the dryer lint trap and sucks up packed in dirt like magic! It removes years of lint build up which can burn out your dryer motor or even possibly cause a fire. There is a control ring on the Lint Lizard which can be adjusted from the least to the most powerful suction. I really don't know why anyone would even want the least amount of suction when cleaning the dryer vent. My Experience: It was easy to connect the three pieces to my Oreck pull along portable vacuum (you know, the one that you see advertised on TV picking up a bowling ball). The only problem I had was uncurling the clear hose from being packed tightly in the box in which it was packed. It was difficult inserting the hose deep into my dryer vent because it was curled so tightly. The directions state to keep the vacuum hose and Lint Lizard in a vertical position. This was impossible due to the curl in the hose. After working out the curl, it worked like magic. The lint was sucked up so quickly, I didn't even see the lint rushing through the clear hose. I've noticed since deep cleaning my lint trap, my clothing becomes dry faster, so my dryer isn't working as hard. My Take: Although I didn't have high hopes for yet another "Seen on TV" product, I am glad I purchased the Lint Lizard. The lint trap in my dryer has never been so clean, except for when it was brand new! Storage: It is advised not to remove the clear hose once it is attached unless there is a blockage. The product should be stored in a cool, dry place. Warnings: (According to Directions) Keep out of reach of children and pets. Use caution when using hot water to clean parts or remove kinks from clear hose. Use only as instructed. Cost: I paid $10.99 for the Lint Lizard at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. This product is made in China. Thank you for reading my review.

Jack Mullen is a driven student of the law. His brother Peter is a servant of the rich, parking the cars of the Hamptons' elite-and perhaps satisfying their more intimate needs as well. Then Peter's body is found on the beach. Jack knows the drowning was no accident, but someone's unlimited power and money have bought the cops, the judges, the system. Now Jack is learning a lesson in justice he never got in law school ... and his astonishing plan to beat the billionaires will have you reeling-and cheering-to the very last page.
James Patterson has had more New York Times bestsellers than any other writer, ever, according to Guinness World Records. Since his first novel won the Edgar Award in 1977 James Patterson's books have sold more than 240 million copies. He is the author of the Alex Cross novels, the most popular detective series of the past twenty-five years, including Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider.

Many of the leading voices in economic policy debates are telling us that excess government spending, like that characteristic of Western European welfare states over the past sixty years, leads ultimately to rising interest rates. This happens, it is argued, because excessive government spending is likely to crowd out private investment and consumption. This will slow growth and lead to higher inflation.
However, a cursory glance at recent data on government spending and the interest rates of government bonds reveals a different story. For 2011, we plotted government expenditure as a percentage of GDP versus the yields on ten-year government bonds for the OECD countries, and found a slight positive relationship between spending and interest rates, as is shown in the following figure.
While a small positive relationship appears to exist, as can be seen by the upward slope of the line of best fit in the chart above, regression analysis of bond yields and government expenditure showed that this relationship was not statistically significant. Any miniscule positive relationship can be attributed to a few countries with high government expenditure as share of GDP and high bond yields. These are the European economies of Greece, Portugal, and Ireland. While it is possible that government spending played a role in precipitating the current crisis in Greece, this is not the case for the other distressed economies. For instance, Ireland and Spain both ran budget surpluses in the years just before the recession. Noteworthy, also, are the many countries, such as France, Denmark, Finland, and Belgium, with high government expenditure and very low bond yields.
We already knew that unions increase wages, especially for less-educated workers. They also strongly increase the probability that a worker will have benefits like health care insurance, a pension, or paid sick days and family leave. It turns out that unions are also good for your health.
A new study by Megan Reynolds and David Brady at Duke University finds that being a union member has a large positive effect on self-rated health status. This effect is largest for less-educated workers.
Given that unions provide a much greater degree of security on the job and protection against arbitrary actions by capricious bosses, it perhaps is not surprising to see that unions are associated with better health. After all stress can be a major factor leading to bad health. Still it is nice to see that Reynolds and Brady have produced the evidence showing that this is the case.

In a recent post at The Atlantic Cities blog, sociologist Richard Florida provides an interesting analysis of some of the findings of a new study by the Pew Center on the States on economic mobility in the United States. Florida shows that, across the 50 states, there is a positive correlation between the degree of residents' upward mobility and state: median household income; high school graduation rates; public education spending per pupil; and openness to immigrant and LGBTQ communities. His results help to expand the view of the sort of institutional and cultural contexts that support --or are at least associated with-- high economic mobility.
On the other hand, Florida also demonstrates that states with a higher share of their labor force in what he defines as "working class professions" have lower rates of upward mobility. But, his analysis overlooks the role of the most important working class institution: labor unions. The figure below uses the same Pew data analyzed by Florida to compare upward mobility across states with different levels of unionization. The graph shows a strong, positive relationship between the share of a state's workforce that is unionized and the Pew measure of upward mobility. The union data in the graph refer to 2011, but this is a long-standing relationship and a similar pattern holds for 1983, too (the earliest year for which comparable data are available).
The following newsletter highlights CEPR's latest research, publications, events and much more.CEPR on Work Sharing CEPR Co-director Dean Baker teamed up with the American Enterprise Institute's Kevin Hassett to pen this Sunday op-ed on the benefits of work sharing for the New York Times. Dean appeared with Hassett on PBS' NewsHour with Jim Lehrer to discuss the issue. Dean has written extensively on work sharing as a means to address continuing long-term unemployment, most recently in this issue brief co-written with CEPR's Director of Domestic Policy Nicole Woo that looks at how work-sharing provisions signed into law by President Obama in February 2012 as part of the Middle Class Relief and Job Creation Act could help states reduce their unemployment rates and also save $1.7billion per year. Senator Herb Kohl referred to the op-ed in his opening statement at a May 15th Aging Committee hearing titled "Missed by the Recovery: Solving the Long-Term Unemployment Crisis for Older Workers": "And as a bipartisan opinion piece in the New York Times over the weekend stated, this problem "nothing short of a national emergency." Work sharing was also featured in this article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer and this one in the West Virginia Gazette. CEPR on Jamaica CEPR's recent release, "Update on the Jamaican Economy," by CEPR Research Assistants Jake Johnston and Juan Antonio Montecino, looks at Jamaica's stalled agreement with the IMF, its economic performance over the past year and examines its persistently high debt burden. The paper argues that Jamaica's economic performance and development prospects have been seriously damaged by an unsustainable debt burden, with the economy stagnating for decades. The paper updates a similar report released in May 2011.
Yesterday there was quite a bit of media coverage -- in outlets such as Marketplace and the Guardian -- about the launch of a new "national movement of underwater homeowners and their allies," the Home Defenders League (HDL).
With numbers last week showing that there are more than 15 million underwater households in the U.S., this movement seems long overdue. The HDL is pushing for a well-reasoned slate of ideas to to help those who are stuggling with foreclosures and underwater mortgages, including Right to Rent, allowing homeowners to stay in their homes, after foreclosure, paying the market rent (emphasis added below):
Here's what we stand for:
This comes just a few days after news articles from California to Pennsylvania popped up about Bank of America's Mortgage to Lease pilot program, which is essentially Right to Rent as well, as noted in this statement by CEPR's Dean Baker. As BofA executive Ron D. Sturzenegger describes it:
It's good for us, it's good for the borrower and ultimately good for the community.
The news is that this pilot has started to roll out in California, and will tested in Arizona, Nevada and New York soon. A BofA spokesman says that their program will be expanded if their pilot "works out for enough borrowers" and that they expect to get some test results in 60 days. Rest assured that CEPR will be on the lookout for that!
Dean has been advocating for his Right to Rent plan for years. It's rewarding to see entities from across the spectrum -- mega-corporate Bank of America to a league of underwater homeowners -- endorse, and indeed, start to implement his idea. We can only hope it'll continue to get picked up by more mortgage-holders, advocates, and policy makers!
Though the economy only saw a slight rise in the unemployment rate to 8.2 percent, revisions of the march and April jobs numbers showed much slower job creation than previous reported. The public sector continues to shed jobs – 657,000 have been lost over the last four years.The current pace of recovery lags behind that of any of the previous four recoveries.

Two CEPR papers by John Schmitt and Janelle Jones released earlier this year on long-term unemployed were published in the spring issues of Challenge and New Labor Forum. In the newest issue of Challenge, "Down and Out: Measuring Long-Term Hardship in the Labor Market" (behind a paywall here) proposes several ways to rethink our understanding of long-term unemployment. In New Labor Forum, "America's "New Class": A Profile of the Long-Term Unemployed" (behind a paywall here) uses the framework from the Challenge piece to paint a demographic portrait of those still suffering from long-term unemployment in the labor market.
The Challenge article is based on this January 2012 CEPR briefing paper. The New Labor Forum piece is based on this March 2012 CEPR briefing paper.
Unionization rates — and the gender and racial composition of unionized workers — vary widely across the 50 states and the District of Columbia. In a newly released issue brief, based on an analysis of the Current Populations Survey, we give an overview of the size and basic demographics of the unionized workforce in each state. The brief is a partial update of some of the numbers that appeared in a 2010 release CEPR report called "Unions of the States."
Size of the States' Union Workforces
The figure below (Figure 2 in the new brief) shows the average unionization rate in each state over the years 2007-2011. We define a unionized worker as anyone who is a member of a union or represented by a collective bargaining agreement.
In 2007-2011, the 13.3 percent of the U.S. workforce was unionized. New York state had the highest unionization rate, at 26.4 percent. Alaska (24.3 percent) and Hawaii (24.0 percent) followed closely. Only one other state had a unionization rate above 20 percent and that was Washington (21.2 percent). The rest of the top ten most unionized states were Michigan (19.2 percent), New Jersey (18.8 percent), California (18.5 percent), Connecticut (17.6 percent), Oregon and Rhode Island (17.4 percent each), and Nevada (17.3 percent). Eight states had a unionization rate that was less than half of the national average: Tennessee (6.2 percent), Texas (6.1 percent), Arkansas and Louisiana (5.9 percent each), South Carolina (5.7 percent), Virginia (5.3 percent), Georgia (5.1 percent) and North Carolina (4.4 percent).

The Consumer Price Index remained flat in April as energy prices showed large declines, falling 2.6 percent, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics' reports on the consumer price, U.S. import/export price and producer price indexes. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the core index of consumer prices rose 0.2 percent in the month and at a 1.9 percent annualized rate over the last three months.
With core consumer price inflation both low and stable and with little hint of price pressures coming from earlier stages of production, there can be little reason for inflationary fears. An increase in the rate of inflation would actually be welcome economic news, since additional deflation of nominal debts and lowering of real interest rates actually would help spur demand in the economy and induce additional hiring. This would be particularly important to the United States if the deflationary crisis in Europe should cause both a fall in demand for American exports compounded by a sharp rise in the dollar.

This is the agenda of many Republicans as we start to get closer to the date where the sequestration rules from a 2011 budget agreement will actually bite. The deal was structured so that the immediate budget cuts were limited. The big hit was scheduled to take place in January 2013. At that point, spending on both the military and discretionary portion of the federal budget were scheduled to fall by roughly 10 percent.
There are good economic reasons for questioning the wisdom of cutting the federal budget while the economy is still saddled with high rates of unemployment and large amounts of excess capacity. While it would be great if the private sector would fill the gap, hiring the government workers who lose their jobs, there is no reason to think this would be the case.
Businesses hire people when they see more demand for their products, not because the government is laying off workers. It is more likely that these cutbacks will slow the rate of private sector hiring by pulling money out of the economy. The government workers who lose their jobs will not be spending as much money at restaurants, malls, and other places where their spending creates jobs. In a weak economy, this is likely to mean less hiring in the private sector.
Apart from the size of overall spending, there is also the division of the spending. Many Republicans are now upset about the deal they agreed to back in 2011 that provided for roughly equal cuts for the defense and nondefense portions of the budget. They would rather see more money come out of areas like government support for college and preschool education, the national parks, and even cancer research rather than allow the cuts to the military budget to go through as specified.
While the proponents of cuts to cancer research are trying to scare people into believing that the sequestration of the military budget will leave the country defenseless, this is not based on an analysis of the numbers. Even if the cuts go into effect, after adjusting for inflation, military spending will still be more than 20 percent higher in 2013 than it was back in 2000. This should leave us plenty secure assuming the budget is properly managed.
Of course the Defense Department has a long history of getting ripped off by private contractors who charge high prices for complex weapon systems of questionable value. When funding for these weapon systems is threatened with cuts, the contractors run to their friends in Congress for protection.
This is likely what we are seeing now. The issue is not defending the country, it is about defending defense contractors' profits.
This post originally appeared on U.S. News & World Report's Debate Club.
In Sunday's New York Times Magazine, Adam Davidson writes about Ed Conard, a friend of Mitt Romney's and a defender of extremely wealthy investors. Conard argues that investors contribute far more to society than their own bank accounts. In a guest post on NPR's Planet Money blog, Dean Baker disagrees.
In his new book, Unintended Consequences: Why Everything You've Been Told About the Economy Is Wrong, Mitt Romney's former business partner Ed Conard claims that for each dollar of wealth pulled in by investors, society gets up to $20. I took issue with this claim, saying that the ratio is closer to 5 to 1. However even this lower number caught many by surprise, thinking it to be an endorsement of Conard's view of the economy, albeit in a bit toned down form. It's worth clarifying what is at issue.
First, the 5 to 1 number is simply a reference to the ratio of labor income to capital income (after taxes). For example, in 2011 after-tax corporate profits were just under $1.1 trillion, while labor compensation was over $5 trillion. If we add the corporate tax revenue to the labor income side, the total is more than $5.5 trillion. The take-away from this is that when companies have productive investment and it actually leads to economic growth, then everyone can benefit.
Even when we talk about productive investment, much of the individual investors' gain is at the expense of other investors. For example in the case of Apple, perhaps the country's most innovative company, we would still have smart phones, tablet computers, and downloadable music if Apple never existed. The products just would not be quite as good. Much of Apple's profit would simply show up elsewhere in the tech sector if the company did not exist. While Apple's innovations have clearly benefited society it would be inaccurate to say that the benefit is five times Apple's profits.

The economy added 115,000 jobs in April, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics' employment report. While the March number was revised up to 154,000, the 135,000 two-month average is well below the 252,000 average for the prior three months. The economy needs 100,000 jobs a month to keep pace with labor force growth.
In spite of the slower job growth, the unemployment rate edged down again to 8.1 percent. However, this is not a case of the household survey showing a different picture than the establishment survey. As was the case last month, the drop in unemployment was entirely attributable to people leaving the labor force.
For a more in-depth analysis, check out the latest Jobs Byte.
Most of the country is well aware of the fact that the United States is still suffering from the effects of the recession. The 8.2 percent unemployment rate is extraordinarily high. More importantly, the employment-to-population ratio, the percentage of people who hold jobs, is still almost 5 percentage points below its pre-recession level.
The fact that the country is still suffering from the recession is essential in assessing Andrew Bigg's dismissal of the idea that public pensions can provide stimulus to the economy. Biggs is a prominent conservative economist who served in the Bush administration and is now at the American Enterprise Institute.
Biggs ridicules the idea that public pensions can provide stimulus, deriding it as the "broken window" fallacy in economics. This is the idea that economic growth could be increased by breaking windows, because we would then have to spend money to repair the windows.
In fact, because the economy is still suffering from recession -- it has large amounts of unemployed workers and idle capacity -- breaking windows would in fact generate demand and employment right now. The main problem facing the U.S. economy at the moment is a lack of demand and anything that creates demand would in fact increase growth and jobs.

factor earnings abroad of domestic residents, which is included in national product. Inclusion of net factor earnings abroad is desirable if output is designed to measure the sustainable consumption of the nation. The recent switch in emphasis from national to domestic product occurred because domestic product is more closely related to domestic output and employment. While the emphasis on GDP rather than net national product is understandable, the panel emphasizes that the latter is conceptually preferable as a measure of sustainable income.
Economic accounting—whether it be business accounting or the accounting of a nation's economic activity—traditionally serves two major functions: it offers a way to track the economic performance of a business or a nation, and it provides an organized body of economic data that enhances the ability of an organization or a nation to manage its economic affairs. The principal reason for growing interest in natural-resource and environmental accounting is the belief that improved accounting for the contribution of natural capital will enhance the ability of the conventional accounts to serve both of these functions.
The NIPA are the major way nations keep score on overall, regional, or sectoral economic performance, past and present. The core accounts include production measures such as gross national product (GNP) and GDP, along with data measuring market incomes and a broad array of sectoral data. These core accounts are widely used to gauge a nation's economic performance over time and to compare economic performance among nations; they are an essential tool for assessing the state of the economy and formulating macroeconomic stabilization policy. For example, economic research has shown a close link between movements in GDP and changes in the unemployment rate, changes in tax revenues, and the federal budget deficit. Understanding the economy requires comparing current trends and movements in national output with those of various historical periods in order to forecast the future. This scorekeeping function of the national accounts is widely accepted in spite of many deficiencies in the measures of prices and outputs and the numerous interpretative problems introduced because the core accounts are limited to market transactions (see Hicks, 1940; see also Kuznets, 1948a, 1948b).
As discussed above, measures of augmented national income and product endeavor to extend the purview of the economic accounts by including a broader set of consumption, investment, and income measures. These augmented accounts give a more balanced view of the trends

About Hunger
Nearly 1.2 billion people in developing countries live in extreme poverty, living on less than $1.25 a day.
Around the world, 805 million people suffer from hunger.
The vast majority of the world's hungry peoplelive in developing countries, where 13.5 percent of the population is undernourished.
Asia is the continent with the hightest number of hungry people – two-thirds of the total. Sub-Saharan Africa is the region with the highest percentage of hungry people: one in four people.
Each year, 2.6 million children die as a result of hunger-related causes.
We live in the world's wealthiest nation. Yet 14.3 percent of U.S. households—a total of 49.1 million Americans, including 15.8 million children—struggle to put food on the table.
More than one in five American children are at risk of hunger.
We can end hunger in our time. Everyone, including the government, must do their part.
More people escaped poverty during the 2000s than any other decade in history.
By making our voices heard in Congress, we help to ensure laws which are fair and compassionate towards people in need.

Adventure Island waterpark has been found negligent in connection with the 2011 lightning strike death of a lifeguard, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Local media reports that an OSHA investigation has determined that the Tampa, Fla., waterpark failed to follow procedures and shut down rides as it responded to a thunderstorm. As a result, Justin Savers Inversso, a 21-year-old lifeguard was struck while working to evacuate guests from a slide. He died later at a hospital.
Adventure Island should "re-evaluate time required to evacuate guests from rides, especially when employees are the last to evacuate and seek shelter," according to the OSHA report.
The agency has fined the waterpark $7,000, but according to a report in The Tampa Tribune, management is challenging the findings.
"Our deepest sympathies remain with the family and friends of our team member," park spokeswoman Jill Revelle told The Tribune. Read more..
