Which Android apps are the most popular?
Facebook and Google both scored spots near the top of the list of the 15 most popular Android apps, according to new ratings by Nielsen.
Breaking down the results by age range, Nielsen found that Android Market was the top app--not surprising, since that's where most Android users go to find their favorite apps in the first place.
But in second place was Facebook, popular among 80 percent of those 18 to 24 years old, 81 percent of those in the 25-to-34 bracket, and 77 percent of those 35 to 44.
From there, the results varied based on age. … Read more

Highlights From the Archives
The Daring Attack That Blew Up in Israel's Face
Over many years, it has been an open secret in the Middle East that Israel and Jordan have quietly cooperated on a host of covert projects. And so, diplomats here say, King Hussein was not surprised on Sept. 25 when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called to ask that he immediately meet Israel's chief spymaster. Danni Yatom, the head of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, was a frequent, if unheralded, visitor to Amman, according to the diplomats. The King assumed he would be discussing a new peace overture relating to Hamas, the radical Palestinian Islamic group, which had taken responsibility for two devastating suicide-bombings in Jerusalem over the summer.

Supreme Court Rejects NOM's Maine Lawsuit, Clears Way for State Ethics Sanctions
October 1, 2012 by Darrin Hurwitz, Assistant General Counsel
This morning, the Supreme Court again declined to review NOM's challenge to Maine's campaign finance laws, dealing yet another legal setback to an organization that has grown accustomed to them in its multi-year crusade to operate secretly and evade donor disclosure.
The case, NOM v. McKee, grew out of a complaint filed by Fred Karger in 2009 and an investigation launched by the Maine Ethics Commission in response to NOM's failure to disclose donors to its Maine ballot measure efforts. NOM spent $1.9 million in 2009 to narrowly defeat Question 1 and rescind the marriage equality law that had been passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor. During that time NOM expressly solicited contributions to support the Maine campaign but refused to report these donors, as required by state law. As the Attorney General stated in its Supreme Court brief, "NOM is a sophisticated national political advocacy organization … seeking to prevent Maine citizens from learning who is trying to influence their vote on ballot questions."
Campaign disclosure laws enjoy broad public support across the spectrum and are critical in a time when spending on elections has hit record levels. For all of the criticism of Citizens United, a less recognized part of the decision upheld disclosure requirements as vital to ensuring transparency. Even Justice Scalia, in responding to another NOM-affiliated case in 2010 (Doe v. Reed), wrote that "I do not look forward to a society which … campaigns anonymously and even exercises the direct democracy of initiative and referendum hidden from public scrutiny and protected from the accountability of criticism."
The Court supported that view by rejecting once again NOM's crusade for secrecy. As a result, Maine's investigation will continue, and anti-LGBT organizations such as NOM will be required to play by the same election rules that others do.

Completing the Biology and Health Science major will educate students about the methods of science as a tool for understanding the natural world and prepare students for graduate education in the biological sciences or a career in the allied health field.
What is the major like?
Within our department, students may complete a Bachelor degree in Biology or a Bachelor degree in Health Science. The Biology major provides a broad foundation in the life sciences through coursework in evolution, diversity, ecology, microbiology, and genetics. The Biology major is intended for students considering graduate research programs and/or careers in industry, government, biomedical research, and field work. The Health Science undergraduate degree program is a pre-professional program that combines the foundation of the Biology major with preparation for a graduate program and/or career in a health-related field. Available tracks of study within the Health Science major include Pre-Med, Pre-Dental, Pre-Vet, Pre-Physical Therapy, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Physician's Assistant, and Pre-Nursing. Additional options include a Secondary Education Biology major (offered in collaboration with NEC's education department) and individually-designed majors to match students' interests.
What do Biology/Health Science majors do at NEC?
In addition to coursework, our students have plenty of opportunities for engaging and career-building experiences outside the classroom:
• Field work and field trips are important components of many courses.
• Most students complete one or more internships, either on or off campus.
• Students collaborate with faculty on research projects.
• Additional opportunities are sponsored by student organizations and the department.
What do Biology/Health Science graduates do after NEC?
Students who have completed the Biology or Health Science major have a strong foundation for graduate school and employment . Our alumni profiles show examples of recent alumni and their accomplishments since graduating from NEC.
Who would teach my classes?
The Biology and Health Science department has four faculty members who teach and build close mentoring relationships with students so that we can advise students on their major, requirements, schedule, and career and graduate pursuits.
• Dr. Debra Dunlop, Ph.D - Professor of Biology
• Dr. Eric Simon, Ph.D - Associate Professor of Biology
• Dr. James Newcomb, Ph.D - Associate Professor of Biology
• Dr. Lori Bergeron, Ph.D - Associate Professor of Biology
New England College is a recipient of a National Institutes of Health INBRE ( IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence) grant which supports the NEC INBRE Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP). SURP offers students research training opportunities at New England College with NEC professors/mentors in Psychology or Biology and Health Science for an 8 to 10 week period during May – August 2012. The specific time depends on the research project. The goal of the INBRE grant is to provide research opportunities that help encourage students to pursue graduate programs in biomedical research. For more information see the NEC INBRE at the NEC webpage http://www.nec.edu/inbre and NH INBRE web page http://nhinbre.org/.

Did you ever say "Gee I wonder if my table lamp will survive an explosion?" With this table lamp you will never have to ask that question again!
This lamp is constructed from a salvaged explosion proof industrial light fixture used in a shipyard around Galveston, TX. This is heavy duty industrial grade explosion resistant lighting repurposed for your home. The feet are constructed out of 3/4" galvanized pipe then plastidiped to protect the table surface and to prevent slippage.
The internal electrical is from the original light and accepts a standard household bulb. I have added a standard UL approved lamp wire with an inline switch. I can make the cord to any length you need, just let me know in the comments what cord length you want or I will include a standard 6 foot lamp cord. The gorgeous glass dome is constructed from Pyrex glass and is very thick.
The dimensions for this one of a kind table lamp are 14" tall without the cage, 15" tall with cage. 12" wide at the base, 7 " wide main body.

GCC 4.1 – Features and Benchmarks
The new version of the GNU Compiler (GCC) has a fresh crop of optimizations and support for Objective C. The Recursive Descent Parser introduced in version 4.0 is now used for the C and Objective C derivatives.
GCC 4.1 has seen the light of the world with a delay of just one week [1]. Release Manager Mark Mitchell was forced to postpone the scheduled released data slightly to accommodate 128-bit floating point support for the PowerPC, as this feature is important for the future Glibc 2.4. Manual Parser One of the major changes is that GCC now uses the parser introduced with the latest version of C++ for C and Objective C. This manually written recursive descent parser (that is, it was not written with a traditional parser generator such as Bison or Yacc) is quicker, and is expected to be easier to maintain in the long run.

(Editor's note: Dear Pedalheads is a weekly feature that will run through the summer with members of the local Team Whistler cycling crew answering your questions about all things biking. Please send your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.)
This week's question:
Dear Pedalheads,
Is it important that trails be ridden in one direction? Should it be a concern for other riders, or for erosion?
Signed, One-way rider
Dear One-way rider,
This is a tough question.
It really depends on the trail and where you are riding in North America. Most trails can be ridden in both directions with little or no adverse effect to the trail in terms of erosion.
However, a lot of trails are built so they flow better in one direction compared to the other. You will enjoy them more going with the flow, thus avoiding walking up the steeper spots that were designed to go down.
Then, of course, if you are going up a longer, steep trail, you better keep your eyes and ears alert for people coming down. This is dangerous because they will be concentrating on the trail and not expecting someone coming up.
I have seen some trails that are one-way only but they are always marked well. You would have to be blind not to see this.
Now you have the 'people factor' and by this I mean people that think something should be done a certain way. This is the person that is not giving you friendly advice but telling you, sometimes aggressively, how it is. It is best to just say: "I just want to test the trail in this direction to see how it flows," and move on.
I find it fun to change directions sometimes. It is like finding a whole new trail. You see different scenery and the terrain rides completely differently. Become a two-way rider and broaden your horizons.
Happy two-way trails,

Interaction design is not about computing technology
I just got back from Vancouver IxDA. Had a great time but seem to have kicked up a bit of a controversy by declaring that, as interaction designers, our medium is not technology – it's behavior.

The Memoirs of Prince Metternich were published in English by Charles Scribner's Sons between 1880 and 1882. They were originally published in French and German in 1879. The memoirs take up five volumes, published in three installments. Their veracity has been questioned by historians, who note that they were edited by the prince's son Richard Metternich, which has led many to fear that they are a selective reflection of Prince Metternich's activities.
In each text, original page numbers and page breaks are recorded, and the format of the original has been respected with the exception of line breaks. The reader will notice numbers marking breaks in the documents -- these numbers were inserted by the editors of the original memoirs as an ordering mechanism, nothing more.

We have developed a kit to do sous vide cooking (but really it can do any sort of temperature control), at http://lowereastkitchen.com. It's basically a microchip with Arduino bootloader, 10 A SSR and thermocouple, with a knob and LED display for user interface. Everything is open source/hardware and available on our website.
We've had a lot of interest from people we talked to, and had a few classes at hackerspaces that were quite popular (see our blog http://qandabe.com). We even have a few dozen people who were interested in buying on an e-mail list. However, now that we have the product available, few people have bought anything.
Is there something wrong with our kit? Our website? Or is this typical for the beginning?
Thanks for your help. We are anxious about starting out. We can just keep having classes, but it would be nice to get something consistent online.

Online Courses: as far as i know its a great learning experience
Campus Resources: The network on campus works great. It is always available and quick to respond. The student network allows you to access your work anywhere on and off campus. You just save to the student portal. There are personal computers but most just use their individual I pad.
Campus Resources: This campus is set up more like a trade school than a university. It does have computer labs, campus activities, libraries, and other small student task. It does not include sports, an eating facility or a work out facility.
Online Courses: What I have done online has been great. It take a bit to understand where all the things is they want you to do.once you figure it out, it is all a matter of just completing the work and turning it in on time.
Academic Experience: The program it's self offer a lot of challenge. We must stay focused and self disciplined. In Oder to stay on task you must form study group to help with daily task as well as prepare for test. It also gives you the opportunity to try out different therapy setting to see which one appeals to you.
Academic Experience: The school offers a wide variety of academic programs. They are adding more and more each day. The process of entering the college was great. The registration process was smooth and very informative. The workload is a lot to take on, but if you,stay focused and pace yourself you will do fine.
Career Services: everybody at my school are willing to do their best whether its studying to increase their grade or to have a better understanding.
Academic Experience: I think the classes are very helpful and its very unique to be my specific major. the good thing about this college is its hands on training which other students are used to learning that way better.
Academic Experience: i tghink the academics at my school would gheklp benefit other students to come to Brown Mackie College. The registration was very simple to fill out because it felt like a breeze through the wind.
Facilities: My opinion about Brown Mackie College is it helps students paste theirselves. Everybody is very friendly and are willing to listen what you have to say. They are interested in helping us achieve our goals in life.
Student Body: Brown Mackie College is a one of a kind school that helps students achieve their long-term goals in life. I would say its a friendly environment that is willing to help people get closer to their goals in life. I think the college is very helpful in having students pick up on learning fast because you are working at your own paste.
Tuition & Financial Aid: They help you fill out financial aid forms if you need it, but they don't communicate with students as well once they are enrolled. I like taking one class a month, but the tuition is high for what you receive.
Academic Flexibility: Their credits do not transfer to other schools typically. The administration is not easy to work with, but my instructors have been great!
Online Courses: Brown Mackie in Louisville does not currently have online courses available.
Facilities: The biggest difference between Brown Mackie and other schools is the ability to focus on one subject at a time. Instead of taking 4 or 5 classes for a typical semester, you go to school year round, and take one class a month.
Career Services: I have not used Career Services yet, and I have heard mixed reviews from other students.
Academic Experience: The Occupational Therapy Assistant program is great at Brown Mackie. The instructors in this program really care about their students. They provide fieldwork opportunities for you, and give you a solid education to get ready to pass the board exams.
Academic Experience: The main problem I had at Brown Mackie is that the gen ed classes do not prepare you for the program courses. The gen ed classes are very easy, and the program courses are much more difficult. You have at least 3X more out of class work in the program courses vs. the gen ed classes.
Overall Experience: The Occupational Therapy Assistant program is excellent! It involves a lot of hard work, but the education is very thorough. If you need to concentrate on one subject at a time, Brown Mackie is the way to go.
Student Body: We have a very diverse population, with many adults returning to school.
Academic Flexibility: I did not have any credits to transfer since I am a first year student
Student Body: I am an older student and have been well received by the younger ground and especially the staff.
Career Services: I am really not sure since I am first year and have not had the chance to explore these areas.
Campus Resources: Student center is OK and the campus if fine. Since I commute I am not involved with athletic center and orther campus activities.
Campus Resources: The labs are very good and after the classtime, one can continue with study which is great for me since I commute from Bardstown.

Still, he wouldn't trade those early experiences on the road.
"I got to do man things at an early age," he laughed.
Rawls joined Wright full-time in the 1970s and stayed with him until the elder bluesman's death in 1980. After Wright's death, the band continued for another decade. Rawls stayed with it but also began performing and recording on his own. It's been different since he began calling his own shots.
"I'm more of a songwriter and an entertainer," he explained, then added, "I play. Now, I can play, but I concentrate on giving a great song to the public. I want to be known for putting out a great song -- not 86 guitar solos."
Rawls pointed out there are plenty of other guys who do that. He joked, "Their names I won't mention, but they know who they are."
Rawls grew up with blues and soul music, nudged along the path by his grandfather and people around him. It's probably not surprising that some of his children have followed him into the genre.
"My daughter, she's Destini Rawls, the blues child. Sometimes she sings with me at some of the bigger shows and festivals."
He also has twin grandchildren. Rawls said they just started walking, and this summer, they'll make their blues festival debut on the 4th of July.
"They were born into it," he said.

HAVANA — HAVANA (AP) - Cuba lashed back Friday at what it called a campaign of distortions over the health of an imprisoned American contractor, and hinted at retaliation that could include moving the 63-year-old man out of the military hospital where he is being held and putting him in a regular prison.
The statement sent by Cuba's Foreign Ministry marked an escalation of a dispute that has been simmering for 2 1/2 years and that has torpedoed any hope of improved ties between the Cold War enemies. Maryland-native Alan Gross is serving a 15-year term for bringing satellite and other communications equipment into Cuba illegally while on a USAID-funded democracy-building program.
Cuban officials disputed recent comments by Gross's lawyer and wife that his condition is deteriorating, saying his health is in fact "normal" and he is being properly treated.
It said he is well enough, in fact, to serve his sentence in a regular jail, in what appeared to be a thinly veiled warning.
"Even though Mr. Gross could be held at any prison facility due to the fact that his situation is not incompatible with that, he is being held at a military hospital," the statement said. "This is not because his health requires it, but to ensure for him the best conditions."
The statement also implied that Cuba was holding back information that Gross and his supporters would not like to see released, though it was not clear whether it was talking about his medical history or his activities on the island.
"The Government of Cuba regrets the distortions that are being spread on the subject of Mr. Gross' health and respects his right to the privacy of doctor-patient information," the statement read. "Cuba demands that this campaign of fabrications ceases; should it continue, there will be no other alternative than to publish abundant information on the subject."
Gross's attorney, Peter J. Kahn, told The Associated Press earlier this week that his client was having difficulty walking and has developed a mass behind his right shoulder blade, and he accused the Cuban government of withholding the results of medical tests performed last month..
"They still haven't shown up, and we're not getting a straight answer as to why, which causes us even more concern because maybe there is something serious going on here," Kahn said.
Those comments were echoed by the State Department, which called for Gross's immediate release.
"We are extremely concerned about Alan Gross' health," said spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, adding that he has degenerative arthritis which has gotten worse because he is not allowed to walk in his cell.
Gross's wife, Judy, has previously said her husband's condition was worsening. Gross, who was overweight at the time of his December 2009 arrest, has lost more than 100 pounds while in jail. His family says he is also under enormous psychological stress because his elderly mother and adult daughter are both battling cancer.

The Infnity Gauntlet is based off of Four Swords(Legend of Zelda) and its single player mode is much worse than the game that it's based off's. At level two, I didn't have the right character to get to the character changer, and had to restart. During another point, I didn't know how...more

G630 too, for got to mention. deals currently Intel G 630 $55 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005LLBJ...B005 intel g530 43 on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-li...006W5KKXO/ |
Got mine in the mail yesterday. The motherboard is a little confusing. It is the same as the H67S (it even says H67S on the motherboard in one area) but it also calls it a H61SP at another spot on the board. Haven't booted it yet, so I am not sure what BIOS says it has. I am really curious as to why the company says it has a TDP of 65 watts. Even if it is indeed an H61 chipset on the H67 board, I believe the H67 power subsystem is rated at 95 watts, so you would think it would work. The power supply is a DSI-250P, and is rated for 250 watts, not sure why they say it is 200 watts. Really scratching my head @ foxconn right now as to the weird parts and mis ratings of this thing.
Best deal on 1333 memory I have seen so far:
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...682014854 |
I contacted Foxconn for information about upgrading the BIOS, and this is their reply:
Welcome to Foxconn. 1.If you want to using an Ivy Bridge processor,you need update BIOS to the latest version C33F1P01. Please download it from next link as below. http://www.foxconnchan About how to update BIOS ,you need install a Sandy bridge CPU first.Then start to flash it.Please refer to the attached SOP. Or please contact our US RMA center to get a BIOS Chip which is with the latest version BIOS. Tel: 714-626-6909 (8:30am - 5:30pm PST; excludes national holidays) 2.For the detailed information of supported Ivy Bridge CPU,please refer to CPU support list as below. http://www.foxconnsupp Any other query in the future, please contact us freely. Best Regards, Foxconn Technical Support What is interesting is that that is the BIOS for the H67S, and the link is to its webpage. I would have to conclude then that it is that board, but with the H61 chipset installed instead of the H67? I would also guess that any of the information for the H67S (max memory, TDP, etc) would also be true for the RM1-H2. Once I get a CPU for the build, I will share what i find out. |

Civil Rights for All
May Dr. King's dream come true for the unborn too
I too have a dream, the dream that one day soon every unborn child will have civil rights. They are persons with equal protection of the law as guaranteed by the 14th amendment of the United States Constitution.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
If laws are permitted to exist that do not give equal protection to all citizens, what will keep the worse kind of tyranny from trying to emerge in our country?
"The moment a positive law deprives a category of human beings of the protection which civil legislation ought to accord them, the state is denying the equality of all before the law. When the state does not place its power at the service of the rights of each citizen, and in particular of the more vulnerable, the very foundations of a state based on law are undermined. As a consequence of the respect and protection which must be ensured for the unborn child from the moment of conception, the law must provide appropriate penal sanctions for every deliberate violation of the child's rights" (Catechism of the Catholic Church #2273).
It is important that we commemorate the life, legacy and struggle of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Since the civil rights movement of the 1960's much has been accomplished in order to guarantee civil liberties for all Americans.
Nevertheless, the noble desire for true civil rights for all will never occur until we understand the fundamental right to life that all human beings have from the moment of conception until the moment of natural death.
Alveda King, Martin Luther King's niece and pro-life advocate stated in a LifeNews.com article by Andrew Bair, that her uncle was strongly pro-life. "Were he alive today, he would be working to secure peace and justice for those in the womb and healing for a nation that is still pained by over 53 million missing lives," King says. "The toll abortion has taken on the African American community is enough to shock the conscience of every American."
Bair reports that "according to the US Census Bureau, African Americans comprise 12.4% of the American population; however, over 30% of the nation's abortions are done on black women.
Data from the New York City Department of Health shows the Big Apple hitting a 40% abortion rate. As if that number wasn't appalling enough, when the data is broken down all racial lines, around 60% percent of New York City's abortions are done on black women. In other words, 1,448 African American babies are aborted for every 1,000 born. Among black teens in New York City, that number jumps to a staggering 72% abortion rate or 2,360 abortions for every 1,000 babies born."
Bair also reports that "the Department of Health has reported that in the city of Philadelphia nearly half of all black babies are aborted."
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" (The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776).
We have heard and read these famous words many times. Yet, it should be interesting for us to note that of the three fundamental rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the founding fathers of our nation recognize life as the first of these three unalienable rights.
Freedom and the pursuit of happiness are impossible without the fundamental right to life.
If anyone has the right to terminate the life of an innocent human being, not only are those who are being terminated no longer equal under the law, but proponents of abortion are laying the ground work for choices to be made about the extermination of other groups of people.
The right to life is the most fundamental of all rights. All other rights depend upon the right to life.
Man is not autonomous. He is created by God and therefore, must live in union with his creator.
James Madison, the fourth president of our nation and one of our founding fathers once said, "We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
As you walk up the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court, you can see Moses holding the Ten Commandments. As you enter into the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door. As you sit inside the courtroom, the Ten Commandments are displayed right above where the Supreme Court judges sit.
On August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King delivered one of the most famous discourses in American history. "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'"
I too have a dream, the dream that one day soon every unborn child will have civil rights. They are persons with equal protection of the law as guaranteed by the 14th amendment of the United States Constitution.
And as Dr. King cried out on that famous day in 1963, "This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, 'My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."

Let us pray that the unborn child be one day recognized as a legal person under Constitutional law. Enough of humans not recognized as persons and so denied fundamental substantive and procedural due process under the law.

You know what Sir Humphrey said about political bravery...
ahh, appleby. yes
MY PRINT column this week listens to a chorus of criticism about George Osborne, the chancellor of the exchequer, and considers which bits might matter.
EVER since he delivered his budget to Parliament on March 21st, troubles have rained down on George Osborne. He has U-turned and dodged, to the press's glee. The chancellor's colleagues ask whether he is steering Britain on the right course, amid the most perilous economic storms in memory.
Some on the right of the Conservative Party loudly assail the chancellor, accusing him of lacking a credible plan for growth. They roll their eyes at Mr Osborne's blame-shifting argument that a British recovery, already slowed by high oil prices and debts bequeathed by the previous Labour government, is being "killed off" by chaos in the euro zone. The euro is a menace, such right-wingers agree. That is why a proper Tory chancellor would call for its early break-up, not urge European colleagues to save it.
A second group, among them lots of Tory MPs first elected in 2010, is less critical than crestfallen after a run of missteps from a man they had thought the political genius of their generation.
A final group of worriers includes figures close to the Conservative leadership (as well as allies of Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democratic bit of the coalition). These quiet loyalists still stand by Mr Osborne's Plan A—his gamble that in a debt crisis it is worth enduring painful spending cuts to reassure the markets and preserve Britain's low borrowing costs. But they wonder whether Plan A could do more for growth.
Of these three groups, right-wingers noisily critical of Mr Osborne and new MPs disappointed by him do not matter much. The quiet angst of coalition loyalists is a bigger problem.
Start with the angry right. For all their bluster, they do not want a Plan B, they want a more flinty Plan A. Their true-blue austerity would feature faster cuts to shrink the state, lower taxes, curb welfare costs and slash the foreign aid budget. They would boost business by ditching costly environmental pledges and make it easier to sack duff employees. In short, their Plan A is full of things that the Tory right always wants.
There are some novelties. Some on the right have developed a Gaullist enthusiasm for state-backed infrastructure, while remaining flinty Thatcherites in their views of current spending. Hang around the right sort of Tory donor or disgruntled business chief, and this hybrid position soon comes up. To caricature, they want Mr Osborne to dismantle the welfare state in order to pay for a new London airport.
Osborne allies are unruffled by all this. When under fire from Labour for cutting spending too fast, they say, it is helpful to have right-wingers saying the government is cutting too slowly: it makes the chancellor sound centrist. A new airport is being studied, they add, but mega-projects do not boost growth quickly. As for the right's belief that a swift euro-zone collapse would be a mercy, contingency planning suggests otherwise. The financial, contractual and even consular consequences of a chaotic break-up chill the blood (Treasury types still cite with awe the mess caused when tiny Iceland's currency imploded in 2008). The chancellor's support for euro-zone integration is born of pragmatism, not faith in federalism. Imagine the diplomatic costs of urging EU neighbours to let their currency die, allies say. Backing euro-zone integration is the least bad alternative.
The second group—disappointed Tory backbenchers—is still less of a threat. Like markets, parties over-correct, says a Tory MP: many 2010 newbies thought Mr Osborne had the Midas touch. Now they are sunk in excessive gloom. That does not mean lessons cannot be learned from the shambolic 2012 budget, and a string of small but humiliating about-turns on tax policy. Team Osborne was overconfident, his allies concede. Because the public had tolerated austerity measures that hit everyone, such as an across-the-board VAT rise, Team Osborne underestimated the perils of raising taxes on a few things, such as Cornish pasties.
Mr Osborne needs to shake this post-budget reputation for ineptitude before it sets hard. A new poll by Ipsos MORI finds him eight points behind the Labour shadow chancellor, Ed Balls, on economic competence: a setback for Mr Osborne since March, when he was level-pegging with Mr Balls. Most Tory MPs have not lost faith. They think Plan A will work in the end. In the meantime they would settle for more competence and fewer U-turns.
What of that third group—the quiet but fretful loyalists, both Conservative and Lib Dem? They want "Plan A plus-plus," says a coalition source. That means sticking with austerity, while trying to think of ways to increase capital spending on things like social housing, schools or roads without spooking the bond markets. Various ideas are in circulation. The precise details matter less than the growing eagerness of coalition insiders to tweak Plan A.
The markets also want growth
Fretful loyalists worry that the chancellor currently prefers "clever wheezes" to nudge the private sector into spending, involving off-balance-sheet credit guarantees and the like. If the private sector is paralysed with fear, they say, such schemes amount to pushing on pieces of string.
Will he budge? Labour leaders would crow over any sign of adjustments to Plan A. Let them: Mr Balls's own ideas for boosting growth are populist and unconvincing, centred on such micro-wheezes as levies on bankers' bonuses and a temporary VAT cut to boost consumption. Mr Osborne showed boldness when drawing up Plan A. His cleverness is not in question. Enduring crowing from Mr Balls would merely require political bravery.
For all the noise and chatter about the chancellor in the press, the real story is that most Conservative and Lib Dem MPs are united behind his overall strategy. But some of the government's most thoughtful supporters are now worried about growth. They are not shouting loudly. Mr Osborne should still heed them.

You know what Sir Humphrey said about political bravery...
ahh, appleby. yes
The EU has become a scapegoat for the British governement to tame the euroscpetic rage and justify its own incapacity to fix the British economy. If thacherite austerity, deregulation and massive privitatization are THE solution, then I guess Cameron and Osborne should say thank you to the EZ for applying their beloved doctine at a large scale.
The British governement is in its right to believe this is the right path to get out of the woods, but it is just pure hypocrisy to blame the EZ for doing the same. It's just too easy.
The EZ is like the gold standard, and as just like the gold standard it either needs to go abruptly or integrate more.
The second problem is that for the last 20 years governments have coerced British businesses to do more trade with the continent, had they left alone, then Britain would not be so hit from the foul winds abroad.
"...had they left alone, then Britain would not be so hit from the foul winds abroad"
Oh, please...this is always the same old argument and you know as well as I do that it is totally biased. Even with the current downturn Britain could doble its trade with China and still don't match its volume of trade with a country like Belgium. By the way, why would Britain turn its back to the EU and reduce its trade? Weither you like it or not, the EU is by far the largest free trade area in the world. I'm not saying that Britain shouldn' increase its trade with emerging powers (everybody does), I'm just saying your vision of the continent being the cause of Britain's problems is pure delusion. And your vision of a Britain better off leaving the rotten continent , standing alone as the last fee-trade stronghold, sailing away in the wide-open sea is just ridiculous, RI-DI-CU-LOUS. This is the typical dreamt world of the British right-wing euroscpetics who are still stuck in their 19th century nostalgia.
As per the EZ, you're right, it will either integrate or slide down to irrelevance. The same goes for Britain I'm afraid.
No that is your opinion, yet there is nothing to back it up. Britain was part of a free trade area much bigger than the European project could ever be, and gave it up for political, not economic reasons.
There was no need to push businesses to do more trade with the continent, that again was political ambition.
The BCC did a report not long back, and found that even the majority of its members cannot see any benefit to the status quo. Source:http://www.britishchambers.org.uk/press-office/press-releases/uk-businesses-want-more-free-trade-in-europe,-but-less-integration.html
Commenting on the findings, John Longworth, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:
"It is not surprising that businesses want to see more free trade, but less integration across Europe. Companies tell us that the burden of European regulation and legislation is in danger of making them less competitive in the global market."
"Our results show that politicians must not be entranced by the siren songs of either the pro- or anti-European camps. Less than one in every twenty companies responding to our survey holds either extremely positive or extremely negative views about Britain's relationship with Europe. It is also staggering to see just how many businesspeople are unsure or unaware of whether links to the rest of Europe benefit them."
"Companies in the real economy want the UK government's European agenda to be practical and pragmatic. They also need better information about what Europe means for them. So ministers must push hard to remove barriers to free trade among European countries, and make the single market a reality for all businesses. For example, the single market for services, where the UK is the second-biggest exporter in the world, hasn't even really got started. Companies we surveyed indicated that they found it as easy to increase their trade with some non-EU countries, as it was to increase their trade with other EU countries. Since the single market is the only real source of sustainable growth for the EU, leaders must focus on how to make it work better.
"At the same time, our representatives in Brussels must continue to fight all proposals that would slap additional costs or regulatory burdens on British businesses"
So it seems the majority favour EFTA rather than the failing project.
Mr Osborne's problem is that he doesn't have a clue when it comes to the economy, finance and money. I'm not making a political point. He's simply the wrong man for the job. Especially in times like these you do need a Finance Minister with some technocratic competence.
I guess Osborne got the job because he is David Cameron's right hand man and no other post was of sufficient status. It's a shame for all of us that no-one stopped to consider whether he was capable of the job before shoeing him in.
Unsurprisingly, I disagree. Economies that have less debt than the UK are doing worse, and Osborne has at least managed to keep the markets on side, something even the US managed to fail at doing.
The last time the world economy was in this kind of mess, the Tories did the same kind of thing they are doing now. As with the case then, once the economy is back on the mend, he should look at slashing taxes to drive things forward at a faster pace.
Given the low state of the yields on US treasuries and the relative economic performances, I'm a little curious as to how someone could say that the US has not got 'markets' on side in some way that the UK has.
As for cutting taxes when the economy is back on its feet... I must admit I've never heard anyone actually place a vote in favor of pro-cyclical economics before. Most people try to pretend they are not doing that. Largely because it is so economically indefensible.
The US is AA the UK is AAA, ok so some of it was down to politics... but that is where all parties in the UK have worked quite well. If you hadn't noticed Sterling is back on the rise as well.
It depends on the measures first put in place. Going by the info I have, the austerity of the 30's was brutal, but short lived lasting only a few years. Once the government had things back under control, it slashed taxes and the economy boomed without the need of more government debt. To put it in to context, it would have been like this government looking to bring the deficit down by 2013, rather than 2015.
