Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS)
ResidentialAvailable formats
PDF Analysis and Representation of Miscellaneous Electric Loads in NEMSReleased: January 6, 2014
Miscellaneous Electric Loads (MELs) comprise a growing portion of delivered energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings. Recently, the growth of MELs has offset some of the efficiency gains made through technology improvements and standards in major end uses such as space conditioning, lighting, and water heating. Miscellaneous end uses, including televisions, personal computers, security systems, data center servers, and many other devices, have continued to penetrate into building-related market segments. Part of this proliferation of devices and equipment can be attributed to increased service demand for entertainment, computing, and convenience appliances.
PDF Modeling Distributed Generation in the Buildings SectorsReleased: August 29, 2013
This report focuses on how EIA models residential and commercial sector distributed generation, including combined heat and power, for the Annual Energy Outlook.
State Fact Sheets on Household Energy UseReleased: August 13, 2013
The Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) gathers information through personal interviews with a nationwide sample of homes and energy suppliers. The 2009 survey was the largest RECS to date and the larger sample size allowed for the release of data for 16 individual states, in addition to national, regional, and division-level estimates.
PDF Updated Buildings Sector Appliance and Equipment Costs and EfficiencyReleased: August 7, 2013
EIA works with technology experts to project the cost and efficiency of future HVAC, lighting, and other major end-use equipment rather than developing residential and commercial technology projections in-house. These reports have always been available by request. By providing the reports online, EIA is increasing transparency for some of the most important assumptions used for our AEO projections of buildings energy demand.
PDF Distributed Generation System Characteristics and Costs in the Buildings SectorReleased: August 7, 2013
EIA works with technology experts to project the cost and performance of future residential and commercial sector photovoltaic (PV) and small wind installations rather than developing technology projections in-house. These reports have always been available by request. By providing the reports online, EIA is increasing transparency for the assumptions used for our AEO buildings sector distributed generation projections.
Where does RECS square footage data come from?Released: July 11, 2012
The size of a home is a fixed characteristic strongly associated with the amount of energy consumed within it, particularly for space heating, air conditioning, lighting, and other appliances. As a part of the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS), trained interviewers measure the square footage of each housing unit. RECS square footage data allow comparison of homes with varying characteristics. In-person measurements are vital because many alternate data sources, including property tax records, real estate listings, and, respondent estimates use varying definitions and under-estimate square footage as defined for the purposes of evaluating residential energy consumption.
RECS data show decreased energy consumption per householdReleased: June 6, 2012
Total United States energy consumption in homes has remained relatively stable for many years as increased energy efficiency has offset the increase in the number and average size of housing units, according to the newly released data from the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS). The average household consumed 90 million British thermal units (Btu) in 2009 based on RECS. This continues the downward trend in average residential energy consumption of the last 30 years. Despite increases in the number and the average size of homes plus increased use of electronics, improvements in efficiency for space heating, air conditioning, and major appliances have all led to decreased consumption per household. Newer homes also tend to feature better insulation and other characteristics, such as double-pane windows, that improve the building envelope.
The impact of increasing home size on energy demandReleased: April 19, 2012
Homes built since 1990 are on average 27% larger than homes built in earlier decades, a significant trend because most energy end-uses are correlated with the size of the home. As square footage increases, the burden on heating and cooling equipment rises, lighting requirements increase, and the likelihood that the household uses more than one refrigerator increases. Square footage typically stays fixed over the life of a home and it is a characteristic that is expensive, even impractical to alter to reduce energy consumption.
Air conditioning in nearly 100 million U.S. homesReleased: August 19, 2011
Except in the temperate climate regions along the West coast, air conditioners (AC) are now standard equipment in most U.S. homes. As recently as 1993, only 68% of all occupied housing units had AC. The latest results from the 2009 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) show that 87 percent of U.S. households are now equipped with AC. This growth occurred among all housing types and in every Census region. Wider use has coincided with much improved energy efficiency standards for AC equipment, a population shift to hotter and more humid regions, and a housing boom during which average housing sizes increased.
What's New In Our Home Energy Use?Released: March 28, 2011
The 2009 RECS collected home energy characteristics data from over 12,000 U.S. households. This report highlights findings from the survey, with details presented in the Household Energy Characteristics tables.
EIA household energy use data now includes detail on 16 StatesReleased: March 28, 2011
EIA is releasing new benchmark estimates for home energy use for the year 2009 that include detailed data for 16 States, 12 more than in past EIA residential energy surveys.
How does EIA estimate energy consumption and end uses in U.S. homes?Released: March 28, 2011
EIA administers the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) to a nationally representative sample of housing units. Specially trained interviewers collect energy characteristics on the housing unit, usage patterns, and household demographics. This information is combined with data from energy suppliers to these homes to estimate energy costs and usage for heating, cooling, appliances and other end uses information critical to meeting future energy demand and improving efficiency and building design.
Share of energy used by appliances and consumer electronics increases in U.S. homesReleased: March 28, 2011
Over the past three decades, the share of residential electricity used by appliances and electronics in U.S. homes has nearly doubled from 17 percent to 31 percent, growing from 1.77 quadrillion Btu (quads) to 3.25 quads. This rise has occurred while Federal energy efficiency standards were enacted on every major appliance, overall household energy consumption actually decreased from 10.58 quads to 10.55 quads, and energy use per household fell 31 percent.
PDF Trends in U.S. Residential Natural Gas ConsumptionReleased: June 23, 2010
This report presents an analysis of residential natural gas consumption trends in the United States through 2009 and analyzes consumption trends for the United States as a whole (1990 through 2009) and for each Census Division (1998 through 2009).
PDF Householder's Perceptions of Insulation Adequacy and Drafts in the Home in 2001Released: August 1, 2004
In order to improve the estimation of end-use heating consumption, the Energy Information Administration's (EIA), 2001 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS), for the first time, asked respondents to judge how drafty they perceived their homes to be as a measure of insulation quality.

1. Jaybrake's forward control parts can be ordered with different options, such as brake/shift-arm and peg styles. Clockwise from top left we have the Sportster mounting kit (100-44), full rubber peg kit (6K-33), FXR forward control basic kit (100-523), and the classic solid lever kit (100K-3), all in black anodized finish.
2. Here's a shot of the aged mid-mount stock Sportster footpeg and master cylinder.
3. On the left side the badly worn peg mount and shifter arm before removal.
4. To adapt the forward controls to a Sportster, Jaybrake makes mounting arms that attach to the front lower motor mounts. The shifter and master cylinder directly attach to these arms.
5. On the shifter side the bracket was affixed to the mounting arm. The shift linkage was then attached to the boomerang arm on the shift splines.
6. All that was left to finish the left side was attach the shift peg and footpeg.
7. Moving back to the right, the master cylinder was attached to the arm with the two supplied bolts.
8. This was followed by attaching the brake arm and footpeg, and...
9. ...finally finishing the install by adding the rubber brake pedal to the arm.
10. The master cylinder outlet is on the front of the master cylinder. Due to the custom nature of this rat bike we decided to make a brake line. We chose an angled fitting from Goodrich that would clear the master cylinder.
11. After routing and measuring the length of brake line we'd need, we used a sharp hacksaw to cut each end flush. The blue tape on the end helped get cleaner results.
12. These are the fittings we used on either end of the braided brake hose. They consist of three parts: the socket, the olive, and the main fitting body.
13. After cutting both ends, the protective clear shrinktube had to be cut back to allow fitment of the socket over the cable.
14. A Goodrich mandrel tool was used to flare the end of the hose in preparation of adding the olive.
15. After flaring the end, the olive was pushed onto the end of the hose and seated in the inner part of the brake hose. The main body was then simply inserted into the hose, before...
16. ... the socket was tightened down. One end was complete.
17. Moving back to the bike, we prepared the new brake line for installation. Two brake washers were placed on either end of the main body fitting, held by the banjo bolt and tightened to the master cylinder.
18. Since the brake line routing was a tight fit from the front of the bike to the rear caliper, the second fitting had to be done on the bike. Just as before the mandrel was used to flare the end of the brake hose.
19. To aid in tightening the socket, the banjo bolt was attached to the main body and caliper.
20. The brake line was a perfect fit that literally took minutes to make. It took longer to route and measure than it did to make the line.
Here at Street Chopper we love Sportsters. It's a great chassis to build a cool scoot without a lot of cash, and they're quicker and more agile than their big brothers. One downside to the Sporty is the sometimes-cramped riding position that is somewhat caused by the midmount 'grasshopper' footpegs. Some of the factory bikes come with forward controls, but they're kind of cheesey cast metal units. There aren't a ton of aftermarket foot control options available for XLs.
When rebuilding a Sportster project in our shop, we noticed the 20-year-old peg-mounts for the shifter and brake were badly worn. The footpegs were crooked and flopping all around in the worn-out mounting bores. H-D doesn't make the peg supports anymore for the older Sportys. After a lengthy search we found that Jaybrake offers a Sportster Mounting Kit (for '86-present) that allows the use of any of its Jaybrake FXR model controls. We went with a black anodized set of the Classic Series Solid Forward Controls, complete with a 5/8-inch master cylinder. The controls are also available in polished or chromed finish. Along with different style options for the controls, there are numerous footpeg options available at the time of purchase: wide band, dovetail, full rubber, and factor.
Jaybrake controls and pegs are CNC-machined out of solid billet aluminum and assembled with stainless steel hardware. The controls also feature adjustable lever positions to create that perfect riding position. Two-inch extension plates for a roomier cockpit are available for pre-'00 XLs.
After installation we wanted to make a custom brakeline to clean up the look of the lines. Goodrich provided everything we needed to make our own brakeline. We took a ride over the Bennett's Performance in Signal Hill, California, to make sure the assembly of the brakeline went smoothly. SC

£3-4k to replace old Rotel Amps & CD player
I'm new to this forum but have been into hifi for as long as I can remember. In the past I've relied on what was available at my local dealer (I'm in Jersey so this is limited ) but have been trawling the internet recently for some inspiration for something new and am bewildered by the amount of seemingly top end equipment currently available.
I have decided to treat myself and my B&W 683s to something a bit tasty to replace my Rotel separates; currently:
RC-1580 Pre-Amp
RB-991 Power Amp (2x200w)
RCD-951 CD Player
I have set a budget of £3-4k and I am looking for pure stereo at this time and have taken a shine to the Audiolab range; specifically:
8200-MB x 2
As I won't be able to listen to these items because of where I'm based I'd be really grateful for some advice on whether this seems like an adequate replacement for the Rotel power; and in your experiences whether you could point me in a different direction to Audiolab (if necessary)? I'm also interested in your opinion as to whether I should be looking at a separate DAC and pre-amp rather than than Audiolab's "all rolled into one" offering.
Thanks a million.
I use an audiolab M-DAC straight into my power amp, saving myself £2k on a preamp. Need analogue inputs? Buy a DAC with those inputs or a preamp with built in DAC! audiolab do one as do others.
Thanks busb. I suppose that is my dilemma, do I buy a standalone DAC a standalone CD Player and a standalone Pre-Amp or go for the whole combo such as the Audiolab 8200CDQ? Does anyone have any views?

Vladimir Lenin founded the Russian Communist Party, led the Bolshevik Revolution and was the architect of the Soviet state. He was the posthumous source of "Leninism," the doctrine codified and conjoined with Marx's works by Lenin's successors to form Marxism-Leninism, which became the Communist worldview. He has been regarded as the greatest revolutionary leader and thinker since Marx.
"A lie told often enough becomes the truth."
Early Years
Widely considered one of the most influential and controversial political figures of the 20th century, Vladimir Lenin engineered the Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917 and later took over as the first leader of the newly formed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
He was born Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov on April 22, 1870, in Simbirsk, Russia, which was later renamed Ulyanovsk in his honor. In 1901, he adopted the last name Lenin while doing underground party work. His family was well-educated, and Lenin, the third of six children, was close to his parents and siblings.
School was a central part of Lenin's childhood. His parents, both educated and highly cultured, invoked a passion for learning in their children, especially Vladimir. A voracious reader, Lenin went on to finish first in his high school class, showing a particular gift for Latin and Greek.
But not all of life was easy for Lenin and his family. Two situations in particular shaped his life. The first came when Lenin was a boy and his father, an inspector of schools, was threatened with early retirement by a suspicious government nervous about the influence public school had on Russian society.
The more significant and more tragic situation came in 1887, when Lenin's older brother, Aleksandr, a university student at the time, was arrested and executed for being a part of a group planning to assassinate Emperor Alexander III. With his father already dead, Lenin now became the man of the family.
Aleksandr's involvement in oppositional politics was not an isolated incident in Lenin's family. In fact, all of Lenin's siblings would take part to some degree in revolutionary activities.
Young Revolutionary
The year of his brother's execution, Lenin enrolled at Kazan University to study law. His time there was cut short, however, when, during his first term, he was expelled for taking part in a student demonstration.
Exiled to his grandfather's estate in the village of Kokushkino, Lenin took up residence with his sister Anna, whom police had ordered to live there as a result of her own suspicious activities.
There, Lenin immersed himself in a host of radical literature, including the novel What Is To Be Done? by Nikolai Chernyshevsky, which tells the tale of a character named Rakhmetov, who carries a single-minded devotion to revolutionary politics. Lenin also soaked up the writing of Karl Marx, the German philosopher whose famous book Das Kapital would have a huge impact on Lenin's thinking. In January 1889, Lenin declared himself a Marxist.
Eventually, Lenin received his law degree, finishing his schoolwork in 1892. He moved to the city of Samara, where his client base was largely composed of Russian peasants.

Martin Bryant was born on May 17, 1967, in Tasmania, Australia. He had a low I.Q. and received a disability pension after graduation. He worked as a handyman for a wealthy woman and she left him her entire estate when she died in 1993. On April 28, 1996, he shot and killed 35 people using a semi-automatic weapon. He was caught on April 29 and received 35 life sentences in prison.
Early Life
Mass murderer Martin Bryant was born on May 17, 1967, in Tasmania, Australia. Bryant killed 35 people and injured 19 others in Tasmania in 1996 in what has since been called "The Port Arthur Massacre." Even as a child, he seemed odd, often detached from the people around him. While in school, Bryant was discovered to have a substantially below average I.Q. So low in fact that he qualified for a disability pension after completing school.
Bryant did find work, however, as a handyman for Helen Harvey, a rich heiress to a lottery fortune. The two became close and there has been some speculation regarding the nature of their relationship. Whatever the case, she left Bryant her entire estate after she died in a car accident in 1993. He was a passenger in the vehicle and some reports indicate that he was investigated as to whether he played a role in the crash.
Also around this time, Bryant's father committed suicide under mysterious circumstances at the family's home. He drowned himself wearing one of Bryant's diving weight belts around his neck. Bryant reportedly showed little emotion over the loss of his father.
Odd Behavior
With the money from Harvey's estate, Bryant lived well, residing in a mansion in Hobart. Neighbors later reported that he threatened to shoot them if they trespassed on his property. He also kept a strange schedule of sleeping all day and wandering around outside at night. Several visitors to the home described it and its owner as "creepy." Bryant wasn't far from the popular destination of Port Arthur, which houses the ruins of an old prison. In 1996, he began visiting the port in the months before the attack.
Port Arthur Massacre
On the afternoon of April 28, 1996, Bryant entered a café on the historical site's grounds, carrying a large duffle bag. He sat down and ate a meal. Once he finished, Bryant took out a semi-automatic rifle and began shooting his fellow patrons. Within a matter of seconds, he had killed 20 people and left 15 wounded. He continued with his murderous spree, shooting at people in the parking lot and from his car while he drove away. He stole another car and killed the driver. He locked the passenger in the trunk of the car.
Shooting several others along the way, Bryant traveled to the Seascape Cottage, a nearby guest house. He lit the stolen car on fire and took his hostage inside. The police soon arrived and tried to negotiate with Bryant for several hours before the battery in Bryant's phone died, cutting off communication.
The next morning, Bryant set the house ablaze. He came running out with his clothing on fire.

Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability
Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability covers your legal liability for a covered accident that involves injury to another person or damage to someone's property, up to the limit of liability you select.
If your limits are 15/30/10, this means:
- No more than $15,000 would be paid per person for Bodily Injury
- No more than $10,000 would be paid per accident for Property Damage
You are at fault for an accident that injured two people and damaged another vehicle. The other driver's total medical bills were $1,000 and the other passenger's total medical bills were $1,500.
The damage to the other vehicle was $5,000. All injuries and damages would be covered because they fall within the Liability limits you selected. Each person's injuries were less than $15,000, and the amount for all injuries was less than $30,000. The other vehicle's damage also was below the $10,000 Property Damage Liability limit.
On the other hand, if you are at fault for an accident and the medical bills from the injuries or property damage that you cause exceed your limits of liability, you are responsible for the remaining damage, which might put your personal assets at risk.

As the city prepares to commemorate the ninth anniversary of the September 11th attacks, tensions remain high near the site of a proposed Islamic cultural center and mosque -- prompting calls for peace and unity by some of the city and nation's biggest leaders.
More than 2,000 people were on hand Friday night for a candlelight vigil to show their support for the controversial project, also known as Park51.
T-shirts were sold to help cover the costs of setting up the event, which was organized by New York Neighbors for American Values -- a coalition of more than 100 civic and religious organizations.
"I love this shirt and I am not very religious. To me this says I love New York because it is diverse, because we have the whole world in New York and we treat everybody equally," said vigil organizer Peter Hogness.
Participants say they're troubled over the surge of anti-Islamic sentiment around the country, and wanted to stand up for freedom in a clear and respectful way.
"I am an American Muslim. I have been here for a long time and I have children and grandchildren and I want to forward peace and harmony. And help America stand for the values that make us special," said one participant.
"We stand together for peace, for justice, for equality, for harmony, for tolerance, for understanding, and for unity and that is what America is all about," said City Councilwoman Margaret Chin.
The vigil came just hours after President Barack Obama addressed the controversy during a press conference at the White House.
While speaking to reporters, Obama said he understood the concerns of opponents of the Park51 Islamic community center, which would be two blocks from the World Trade Center site, but that there is no reason to prevent the building of a mosque in the United States.
"This country stands for the proposition that all men and women are created equal; that they have certain inalienable rights. One of those inalienable rights is to practice their religion freely," said the president. "And what that means, is that if you could build a church on a site, if you could build a synagogue on a site, if you could build a Hindu temple on a site, then you should be able to build a mosque on the site."
Obama said that Americans should not treat Islam differently from other religions, and that U.S. Muslim soldiers are currently fighting in Afghanistan.
"We are not at war against Islam. We are at war against terrorist organizations that have distorted Islam or falsely used the banner of Islam to engage in their destructive acts," said the president.
Meanwhile, the Florida pastor who was planning to burn copies of the Koran to mark the anniversary is now in the city -- in hopes of meeting with the Imam of the proposed center, the Associated Press is reporting.
According to the AP, Terry Jones flew into New York just after 10 p.m. Friday.
Jones claims he was lied to when he was told by a Florida imam that there was an agreement to move the project and is hopeful he will meet with Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. However, Park51 developer Sharif El-Gamal and Rauf both deny they have ever spoken to Jones and say a meeting is not planned. They also maintain that they have no plans to move the center.
Imam Rauf says he has no plans to meet with Jones, but is willing to see anyone who is"seriously committed to pursuing peace."
Jones has not clarified whether he plans to hold the protest at a later date. His threat has already sparked protests in the streets of Afghanistan.
Obama also said Friday that a high-profile burning of Korans in the United States would incite overseas Muslims to harm U.S. troops.
Meanwhile, one of the oldest Christian institutions in the United States joined the conversation about the Islamic community center by calling for civility and reconciliation.
Leaders of the Collegiate Churches of New York, which was established in 1628, said that much of the anger and frustration in the debate stems from misunderstanding and a drive to push personal agendas.
The group took out a full-page ad in Friday's New York Times calling for a respectful dialogue between all the religious communities concerned with the project.
"So that we can work together towards a peaceful resolution to these issues and so we can tone down the volume in terms of the debate," said the Reverend Robert Chase of the Collegiate Churches. "And then we can come to understand and know one another as individual human beings, who are faithful and creative, productive citizens, whether we be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, non-believer, Hindu, Buddhists, whatever."
The minsters said no successful resolution is possible without communication and mutual trust between all the parties involved.
Here in the city, the head of the New York Archdiocese also stressed peace, echoing President Obama's calls for religious tolerance.
In a statement issued Friday, Archbishop Timothy Dolan called the anniversary a holy day, saying, in part, "We must never allow September 11th to become a time for protest and division. Instead, this day must remain a time for promoting peace and mutual respect."
As Lower Manhattan holds memorial services on Saturday to mark the anniversary of the World Trade Center attack, both supporters and protestors of the proposed mosque intend to hold demonstrations nearby.
The New York City Police Department will have extra officers in Lower Manhattan to make sure the protestors do not clash.
Other groups say they are not planning to protest Saturday, saying the anniversary is a time for mourning and reflection.
Locals by the World Trade Center also told NY1 that they did not feel rallies should be held during the September 11th memorial services.
"I don't think it's necessarily inappropriate. Probably not the best thing to do," said a New Yorker. "Inappropriate from a legal perspective, no. From a sentimental perspective, probably yes."
"I don't think they should, because the day should be very low key and that's it," said another. "It should be for the families, not about this."
Preparations and protests are underway as the city and the nation prepare to mark nine years since the September 11th attacks.
The names of the victims who died will be read Saturday morning in Downtown Manhattan. Bells will also be tolled at the times that the airplanes hit and when the towers fell.
Vice President Joe Biden is set to attend the ceremony by the World Trade Center site. Obama is scheduled to attend a memorial ceremony at the Pentagon.
At the White House Friday, he reminded Americans that tomorrow is a national day of service and remembrance.
"I hope each of us finds a way to serve our fellow citizens. Not only to reaffirm our deepest values as Americans, but to rekindle that spirit of unity and common purpose that we felt in the days that followed that September morning," said the president.
First Lady Michelle Obama will join former First Lady Laura Bush in Pennsylvania for a ceremony at Shanksville, Pa., the future site of the United Flight 93 memorial.
Due to the memorial ceremonies being held near the World Trade Center site on Saturday in remembrance of the September 11th terrorist attacks, there will be many street closures and changes to parking regulations in effect. See the complete list.

Hello. I have learned so much from reading the threads on this site but I have run into a slight problem with a tub install. I have searched and found several topics with the same issue.
I have a Bootz porcelain over steel tub from HD. The tub has a stryofoam base. When the tub rest on it's base it is stable but is no where near level. Bathroom floor is solid concrete and level. When leveled with a stringer the stryofoam base on the srtinger side is about a 1/2" off the ground but does touch on the apron side. This creates lots of flex and squeaks.
Should I just scrape off the stryofoam and motar bed it? When I shimmed it it seems like the stryofoam just compressed around the shims.
Thank you.

During the 20th century, Ohio has contributed significantly to the energy and industrial requirements of the United States through its coal production. Over this same time span, the Ohio Geological Survey contributed significantly to the coal industry by gathering and publishing a large body of information on Ohio coals, including measured stratigraphic sections, core descriptions, physical and chemical properties, structure, isopach and geologic bedrock maps, and coal resource and reserve estimates. Today, Ohio remains one of the leading producers of coal, although, since the early 1970's, production has been declining. In 1999 Ohio produced 22.5 million tons of coal from 22 counties, and for many years has consistently ranked as one of the top coal-producing states.
In accordance with the National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS) goals, the Survey, since 1989, has encoded into the NCRDS over 16,000 measured-section and drill-hole stratigraphic descriptions. In addition, coal croplines and strip- and underground-mine areas have been digitized for selected quadrangles.
The Ohio Geological Survey has on file approximately 21,000 measured-section and 4,000 drill-hole descriptions from the coal-bearing region of Ohio. In addition, geologic maps, abandoned-underground-coal-mine maps, and maps showing strip-mined areas are available for many regions in eastern Ohio. The goal of the NCRDS cooperative agreement with the USGS is to, each year, encode a portion of this information into a computer format so that it can be stored in the NCRDS. Here it can be made available via computer to the public, government officials, scientists, and industry. In recent years, the encoded data have become increasingly important because of their use in USGS-sponsored Coal Availability studies and the National Coal Assessment Program (NCAP).

The federal agency that's under fire for an expensive Las Vegas conference gathering is moving to rein in other spending on the taxpayer dime, shuttering a worker rewards program that handed out electronic gear like Ipods and digital cameras to employees at the General Services Administration.
"Operations have been suspended pending a continuing top down review of all spending," said Acting GSA chief Dan Tangherlini in a video message to GSA employees, where he left no doubt where GSA officials stand on the over $800,000 spent on a 2010 conference in Nevada.
"What took place was completely unacceptable," said Tangherlini, who raised the specter of additional action being taken against certain officials and GSA employees.
"There were violations of travels rules, acquisition rules and good conduct," he added.
You can watch Tangherlini's message below, which includes some no holds-barred language.
"We are shocked and deeply disappointed by these indefensible actions," he said in the video.
Meanwhile, the Congress moved on several fronts to set up hearings next week on the GSA affair, which is quickly growing into a political issue for Republicans, who maintain the federal government is too big for its own good.
"There must be accountability for the Vegas vacations, free iPods, and this blatant abuse of taxpayer dollars," said House Transportation Committee Chairman Rep. John Mica (R-FL).
One of Mica's subcommittees will hold a hearing next Tuesday on the GSA situation, a day after the House Oversight Committee opens its own review.
"More and more information is coming out about the total lack of accountability and outrageous spending habits of the General Services Administration," said Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA), who will lead the Tuesday hearing.
The former head of the GSA, Martha Johnson, has been invited to hearings both on Monday and Tuesday; it's not clear if she and other officials who have been forced out or put on leave will actually show up for testimony.
Johnson did not attend the Vegas conference that has caused so much controversy - she was supposed to be there - but instead went to the West Coast for other meetings.
What were those meetings about? Solyndra.
You just can't make this stuff up.

It's all about the Benjamins. Contrary to popular opinion, large-scale development projects on Long Island haven't been victimized as much by community opposition and governmental morass as they have by a lack of money to fund them. To borrow an oft-used political phrase: It's the economy, stupid, and some predict it's not about to get [...]

The purpose of the amended ordinance, to promote the public health by preventing people from becoming addicted to tobacco and by helping those already addicted to stop smoking, is legitimate and even compelling. In prohibiting the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies, the amended ordinance accomplishes its purpose by ending any inference that tobacco products may not be harmful because they are sold by a major participant in the health care delivery system.
Cigarettes and other tobacco products have been subject to strict marketing regulations on both the federal and state levels. Earlier this year, two tobacco companies filed a lawsuit [JURIST report] in the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [official website] to enjoin a recent opinion by the agency's advisory committee due to conflicts of interest. Last year, the FDA announced a final rule [text] restricting tobacco sales and promotions [JURIST report] directed at youth. The Regulations Restricting the Sale and Distribution of Cigarettes and Smokeless Tobacco to Protect Children and Adolescents are a set of broad regulations "designed to significantly curb access to and the appeal of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products to children and adolescents in the United States." In 2009, US President Barack Obama [official website] signed into law [JURIST report] the Family Smoking and Tobacco Prevention Act [HR 1256 text], which grants the FDA certain authority to regulate tobacco products. The legislation heightens warning-label requirements, prohibits marketing "light cigarettes" as a healthier alternative and allows for the regulation of cigarette ingredients. The bill gives the FDA authority to regulate tobacco products but does not permit the agency to regulate tobacco leaf that is not in the hands of tobacco product manufacturers or producers of tobacco leaf, including tobacco growers, tobacco warehouses and tobacco grower cooperatives.

All the Tsar's Men: Russia's General Staff and the Fate of the Empire, 1898–1914
Related Topics: Russia and Eurasia
All the Tsar's Men examines how institutional reforms designed to prepare the Imperial Russian Army for the modern battlefield failed to prevent devastating defeats in both the 1905 Russo-Japanese War and World War I. John W. Steinberg argues that the General Staff officers who devised new educational and doctrinal reforms had the experience, dedication, and leadership skills to defend the empire in the new age of warfare but were continually impeded by institutionalized inefficiency and rigid control from their superiors. These officers, he explains, were operating within a command structure unwilling to grant them the autonomy necessary to effect significant reform, which proved disastrous for the army and—ultimately— the empire.
What People are Saying
"With its deft handling of the army's campaigns in the Far East, as well as its larger focus on the General Staff, All the Tsar's Men offers a highly original and well-substantiated answer to a series of questions too often overlooked in the English-language historiography of the Russian empire. Steinberg has made use of an impressive array of primary sources and succeeds admirably in illustrating the tension that eventually undermined the entire imperial order."—-David McDonald, University of Wisconsin–Madison
"This is the first book in any language to move beyond anecdote-based assertions about the social and service composition of the General Staff Corps. Steinberg makes a significant contribution to the literature on late Imperial Russian military history, adding considerably to our understanding of the evolution of the General Staff during its last decades."—David Alan Rich, author of The Tsar's Colonels: Professionalism, Strategy, and Subversion in Late Imperial Russia

The city of Tacoma has been ordered to pay $242,000 to a bicyclist who smashed his face into the asphalt after hitting a crack in a city-maintained bike lane three years ago.
Pierce County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Arend issued her ruling this week in the case of Eugene Smith v. City of Tacoma.
Smith, an avid cyclist, was hurt Nov. 10, 2010, while pedaling on the bike lane adjacent to South Alaska Street, court records state. He was headed to church choir practice when his bike's front tire wedged into a longitudinal crack in the asphalt, records show.
"These defects grabbed his front wheel, causing him to go over the bike, hitting his head and face hard on the asphalt, requiring him to be hospitalized for three days with a fractured eye bone, separated shoulder, chipped teeth and a bruised body," his attorney, Richard Levandowski, wrote in pleadings.
Levandowski argued the city was negligent for several reasons:
• It ignored design advice that called for lateral supports to be built into the bike lane to help prevent heavy traffic from damaging the lane's subsurface.
• It put a temporary patch on the lane instead of replacing the damaged asphalt.
• It removed cones and barricades it had used to mark the damage because they were blocking a nearby bus stop.
"The city engaged in gross negligence with respect to the hazardous cracks and depressions in the dedicated bike lanes," Levandowski wrote.
The wreck cost Smith more than $60,000 in medical expenses, lost wages and other costs, his attorney said.
The city admitted it messed up and was liable for Smith's injuries but, in arguing over damages, said Smith was partly at fault.
"Mr. Smith knew that that particular crack existed because he had seen it before," assistant city attorney Jean Homan wrote in pleadings. "He had traveled the Alaska Street bike route at least 30 to 40 times since it had been constructed. However, on this night, Mr. Smith failed to pay attention to the crack, and he fell."
Levandowski countered that the law doesn't require people to "keep eyes glued to the ground immediately in front at all times."
"It is reasonable that a person will pay less attention to a surface condition on a public way when dedicated for that particular use," the attorney wrote.
Homan further argued that Smith's injuries were not long-lasting.
"While the city acknowledges the difficulties of Mr. Smith's injuries and in no way attempts to minimize them, it is true that Mr. Smith did not need long-term treatment and has made an excellent recovery," Homan wrote.
The city fixed the damaged bike lane in June 2011, about five months after Smith complained about his wreck, court records show.
It also has satisfied the judgment, the records show.

Fruitvale Station
Coming Soon
1hr 25mins // directed by:Ryan Coogler // featuring:Michael B. Jordan, Octavia Spencer, Melonie Diaz
This is the true story of Oscar, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of December 31, 2008 and feels something in the air.
Not sure what it is, he takes it as a sign to get a head start on his resolutions: being a better son to his mother, whose birthday falls on New Year's Eve, being a better partner to his girlfriend, who he hasn't been completely honest with as of late, and being a better father to T, their beautiful 4 year old daughter. He starts out well, but as the day goes on, he realizes that change is not going to come easy. He crosses paths with friends, family, and strangers, each exchange showing us that there is much more to Oscar than meets the eye. But it would be his final encounter of the day, with police officers at the Fruitvale BART station that would shake the Bay Area to its very core, and cause the entire nation to be witnesses to the story of Oscar Grant.

Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco was born on May 10, 1992 in San Pedro, Laguna, Philippines. Before she discovered the joy of singing, Pempengco lived in an abusive household. When she was three, Pempengco witnessed her father choke and point a gun at her mother in a fit of rage. With the help of their neighbors, Pempengco and her mother fled, and she never saw her father again. Pempengco started singing at age four and by the time she was seven, she was competing in local talent shows. After entering more than 80 contests, Pempengco used her prize money to help her mother, who worked at a garment factory at the time, support their family. The youngster was even able to afford an apartment where she learned how to play the guitar and sing in English. In 2007, a fan posted Pempengco's appearances on various Asian variety shows and the Filipino talent show "Little Big Star" (ABS-CBN, 2005- ). Her soul-stirring rendition of Jennifer Hudson's 2006 version of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" received millions of hits on multiple video sharing sites and also caught the eye of talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who immediately invited Pempengco to appear on her show. With her big, soulful voice, she belted out Whitney Houston's 1992 power ballad "I Will Always Love You" and "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" (NBC, 2003- ). With this one performance, Pempengco's life changed overnight.
Continuing to make the talk show circuit, Pempengco stunned audiences with a jaw-dropping rendition of "I Have Nothing" (1993) on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (syndicated, 1986- ) in 2008. Winfrey, a serious star maker, called on Grammy-winning producer and friend David Foster to help boost Pempengco's career. Shortly after, the talented teen joined him in Las Vegas for a PBS concert special called "Hit Man: David Foster & Friends" (2008), featuring a star-studded line-up that included Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban and Michael Bublé. With all these stars in attendance, it was the tiny teen who brought a crowd of 10,000 to its feet with a medley of songs from the film "The Bodyguard" (1992), impressing fellow performer Bocelli, who handpicked Pempengco to sing with him at his birthday concert in Italy. Later that same year, she sang Bocelli's 1999 song "The Prayer" with him in front of more than 8,000 people in the Tuscan countryside near the famous tenor's hometown. Pempengco's quick rise to the top made her the biggest star in her native country, where she performed for former president Glora Macapagal-Arroyo at the Malacañang Palace. So appealing was her voice and her inspirational story, her self-titled debut album (2008) reached platinum status by 2009.
During a 2009 appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" where she sang Dion's 1997 hit "My Heart Will Go On," the young star received the surprise of a lifetime when her personal idol, Dion, appeared via satellite and asked Pempengco to sing with her at New York City's Madison Square Garden during her "Taking Chances Tour." The two vocal powerhouses blew the roof off the fabled venue with a duet of Dion's hit "Because You Loved Me," which Pempengco dedicated to her mother in the audience. She kept the momentum going with the song "Note to God" written by Grammy-winning songwriter Diane Warren and produced by mentor David Foster. The song landed on iTunes Top 10 list shortly after. That same year, she had a featured role in "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" as a talented high school singer.
The year 2010 was a banner year for Pempengco, who released her self-titled international debut album that featured the hit song "Pyramid" featuring rapper Iyaz, as well as a number of slow jams and dance-pop tunes aimed mostly at teen girls. That same year, Pempengco raised some eyebrows when she revealed that she had Botox and other skin-tightening treatments "to look fresh on camera." The not-so-media-savvy teen told reporters that she had the procedures in preparation for her upcoming role as a transfer student on "Glee," a bitingly funny series about a group of talented musical misfits who are members of a struggling glee club. According to reports, a celebrity dermatologist in the Philippines treated the 18-year-old Pempengco to alter the shape of the singer's "naturally round face." In spite of Pempengco and the doctor's admissions that the procedures were purely for cosmetic reasons, the singer's rep claimed they were done to relieve jaw pain.

In July 2010, Charice reportedly underwent Botox injections from a prominent Filipino doctor in preparation for her guest stint on Fox's "Glee." The singer's rep clarified Charice's decision to get Botox was for medical purposes, not cosmetic. |

My research and teaching interests focus on European history in the modern period, especially social and cultural developments in Eastern Europe, with a special interest in Romania (geographically) and gender (thematically). I began my intellectual journey by investigating the ways in which cultural producers and social policy makers tried to engineer the future during the first half of the twentieth century. This led to the publication of my first book, Eugenics and Modernization in Interwar Romania. Subsequently I moved on to examine how various local communities and official state institutions in Eastern Europe tried to engineer the past, by constructing representations of wartime violence through monuments and commemorative processes, which has resulted in my newest book, Heroes and Victims. Remembering War in Twentieth Century Romania. In addition to these books, I've also published a number of essays on eugenics, philanthropy, the cultural history of the Great War, commemorations of World War II, and gender and war. I am currently working on a project entitled "Everyday Citizenship and Gender. A Transnational Study," which compares 2 case studies from Romania and the United States. My teaching combines these specific research interests with broader pedagogical ones. I've taught courses on the idea of Europe, film and history, memory and war, gender in Modern Europe, as well as communism in Europe. I am also the President of the Association for Women in Slavic Studies (2009-2011).

Australian Red Cross aid workers are ordinary Australians with extraordinary qualities. Posted to the world's most vulnerable regions, often in the midst of conflict or in the aftermath of disaster, they land on their feet and work to assist those in need.
Their commitment and dedication are well known and greatly respected, not only by those within the Red Cross Movement, but by the thousands of people around the world who benefit from their activities. Aid workers bring with them technical excellence and solid experience in their field, which enables them to contribute effectively in often demanding environments.

Subsidies for families to put their children in school readiness programs face cuts that could put access out of reach for 1,600 Florida youth, with the effects possibly felt locally.
Local officials have been told by the state to expect an 8.8 percent cut in the subsidy, said Susan Block, CEO of the Early Learning Coalition of Southwest Florida.
Still, Block remains optimistic that local children won't be disenrolled from programs, in large part due to savings from a new subcontractor and a recent bump in state funding. The coalition has trimmed its waiting list for service in half, from about 6,000 to 3,000, and hopes not to find itself going in reverse.
"We absolutely do not want to be responsible for putting children and families out of their improvement plan," Block said.
The subsidies help parents hold down jobs, boosting local economies, advocates say.

Today on Your Call: Why are Americans still gaining weight?
On today's Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Dr. John McDougall about his new book, "The Starch Solution." According to Center for Disease Control, more than one-third of U.S. adults and approximately 12.5 million of children and adolescents are obese. We've heard about proper nutrition, so why don't we practice it? Dr. McDougal says eat your carbs--starch is the solution to the obesity crisis plaguing this nation. Can starch help heal the health crisis? Join us live at 10 or send an email to email@example.com. It's Your Call with Holly Kernan, and you.
