Why the Stimulus Shouldn't Stimulate You
View related content: Carpe Diem
"What makes you think that this tax rebate will put anyone to work? The idea behind the stimulus deal is to give people tax cuts so they'll feel richer and spend more. But government can't make people richer on average; all it can do is shuffle wealth around. To pay Peter, you must tax Paul (or at least promise to tax Paul in the future, when your debts come due). Peter spends more, but Paul spends less.
Moreover, even if you do somehow manage to increase spending, that doesn't mean you'll put Americans to work. More likely, you'll put Asians to work producing goods for the U.S. market.
President Bush seems to have become confused on this key point because he misunderstands supply-side economics. He has vaguely remembered that tax cuts put people to work, but he's forgotten that only marginal tax cuts put people to work. Non-marginal tax cuts — such as the ones in the stimulus package — have exactly the opposite effect, when they have any effect at all."
~Economist Steven E. Landsburg in Sunday's Washington Post

The Laffer Curve in the 1920s
View related content: Carpe Diem
During the 1920s, The Revenue Acts of 1921, 1924, and 1926 reduced the top marginal income tax rate from 73% to 25% (see top chart, blue line). Did the drastic cut in tax rates cause tax revenues to fall? No, just the opposite. Personal income tax revenues increased substantially during the 1920s, rising from $719 million in 1921 to $1.16 billion in 1928 (see top chart, red line), an increase of more than 61% (this was a period of no inflation).
The share of the tax burden borne by the rich rose dramatically. As seen in the bottom chart above, taxes paid by the rich (those making $50,000 and up in those days) climbed from 44.2% of the total tax burden in 1921 to 78.4% in 1928.
Source: Heritage Foundation, "The Historical Case for Supply-Side Economics," by Dan Mitchell
Bottom Line: The significant cuts in marginal income tax rates in the 1920s increased tax revenues collected, and the share of taxes paid by "the rich" increased.

The Laffer Curve in the 1980s
View related content: Carpe Diem
In 1980, the highest marginal tax rate was 70% and by 1988 the highest rate was cut to only 28%. The chart above shows what happened during that decade, exactly as predicted by the Laffer curve:
1. In constant dollars, the total tax revenue collected from the top 1% of taxpayers increased by 50%, from $58 billion in 1980 to to $87 billion in 1990.
2. On a per return basis, the average taxpayer in the top 1% paid 23% more taxes in 1990 compared to 1980 (inflation-adjusted real dollars).
Bottom Line: As the Laffer Curve predicts, significant cuts in the highest marginal tax rates during the 1980s caused both: a) total tax revenue collected (in real dollars) from the top 1% to increase, and b) the tax collected per return (in real dollars) for the top 1% to increase.

CEOs Rank States for Business Climate 2008
View related content: Carpe Diem
Chief Executive's fourth annual "Best & Worst States" survey recently asked 605 top executives to evaluate their states on a broad range of issues, including proximity to resources, regulation, tax policies, education, quality of living and infrastructure. CEOs were also asked to grade each state based on the following criteria: 1) Taxation & Regulation, 2) Workforce Quality, and 3) Living Environment.
"Overall, the message CEOs are sending is that over-taxed and over-regulated states are not conducive to the health of their businesses," said Ed Kopko, CEO and publisher, Chief Executive Group."This is the message they've been communicating since our poll started in 2005. However, in states like California, Michigan and New York, where we are increasingly facing a shrinking population, the message seems to have fallen on deaf ears, as CEOs continue to be extremely frustrated with the business-unfriendly practices in these states."

Vacant House Fire Under Investigation
DAYTON -- Another vacant house goes up in flames.
Investigators are working to find out what started a fire at a vacant home early Thursday morning in Dayton.
It happened around 3:30 Thursday morning on Garland Avenue in Dayton. This vacant house is in the same neighborhood of the previous three suspicious vacant house fires this week.
Firefighters have been out here for several hours trying to control the flames.
The entire roof was engulfed with flames. A ladder truck was brought in there pouring in that water to extinguish that fire.
When firefighters first arrived they went into the house to attack that fire but they had to pull out because it was just too dangerous.
The neighbors on each side of the house were evacuated. There is a concern now that the house will collapse from all the damage.
Next door neighbors say they heard a loud explosion that shook their entire house. When a man came outside he said he saw the side of the house next door was blown off and he saw the fire in the basement.
That fire quickly spread. Firefighters arrived soon after. The home has been vacant about four months, although we are told the utilities were still on.
The District Chief says the fire does look suspicious.
An arson investigator has been called out to go through the wreckage once the fire is completely out.
Once the fire is out in this house is checked to make sure it is stable neighbors will be able to go back into their homes.

DAYTON -- Investigators are working to find out what started a fire at a vacant home early this morning in Dayton.
The came just before 3:30 this morning on 113 North Garland Avenue. Firefighters got on the scene and saw smoke coming from the basement. Crews were eventually pulled out of the home because it appeared to be structurally unsafe. The people living on either side of the home have been evacuated because firefighters are worried the home could collapse on one of them.
This is the third fire in the same neighborhood in the past week. Firefighters say right now the cause of this fire on Garland Avenue is undetermined, but arson investigators have been called in to check it out.

Among the rumblings of a possible Presidential bid, real estate
entrepreneur Donald Trump as revealed that he's bought a Boeing
757. The tycoon-turned-TV reality show host confirmed the purchase,
which he says gives him twice the room as his previous corporate
jet ... a B727.
File Photo
The airplane is currently being re-fitted to Trumps' taste, and
he told the Palm Beach Post that he expects to have his
new jet in about a month. Trump has been dropping hints over the
past few weeks that he is considering a bid for President, and
there is speculation that the larger plane would be
needed for campaigning around the country. Trump says he'll be
making a final decision on his run in June.
Trump told the paper that his new plane is far quieter than the
older 727, which he hopes his part-time neighbors in Palm Beach, FL
appreciate. He has personally complained about noise from aircraft
from Palm Beach International Airport flying over his Mar-A-Lago
club in Palm Beach, and had filed a lawsuit to block an expansion
of KBPI. The FAA recently said based on traffic, a new runway would
not be needed for some 40 years.
While Trump would not say how much he paid for the 757, the
paper reports that he bought it from Microsoft co-founder Paul
Allen, and may have paid about $100 million. The 727,
meanwhile, has been for sale for two years, with an asking
price of about $8 million. The broker handling that deal said
recently that a replacement airplane had been purchased, and that
now "all reasonable offers" would be considered for the 43-year-old

- 2Feb 10, '13 by SoldierNurse22, BSN, RN, EMT-BIt's one thing to make sure you're protecting yourself from the goop you're around at work. Handwashing and safe laundry practices are essential.
But there are articles out there (such as the one listed below) that are starting to take notice of the consequences of these cleaning products in the home...
Antibacterial household products: cause for concern.
- 3Feb 10, '13 by FlorenceNtheMachineSome of my friends and family who are the most "germaphobic" are the sickest. Doesn't seem to help them much. I practice standard precautions and wash my hands before I eat and after the bathroom.
- 0Feb 11, '13 by AviationurseNot germaphobic at all......As for my friend who is also a nurse...she lives in her nursing scrubs and wears them after work including going to the nightclub at the casino, eating at restaurants, going to church , doing groceries, shopping in the mall, playing slots at the casino
.... she works in public hospital and sees 300 patients a day....
- 1Feb 13, '13 by jhanesDoes it seem like somehow we are to be germ phobic by design? Believe it or not, there were people who actually lived before the invention of antibiotics, Hand Sanitizer, Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare. Perhaps being fearful makes people more likely to support any/all Big Government plans concerning healthcare.
- 2Feb 13, '13 by joanna73 GuideThat's exactly it. Some of you might be shocked to work with 40 seniors and observe their table manners. Saliva, goobers, all kinds of lovely fluids and various items find their way onto the tables, floors, and into their mouths. For the most part, they're fine. I don't get sick working with them, either. I try to practise proper infection control, but I'm certainly not overly concerned, especially on days off. Somehow, we've survived as a species, germs and all.
- 0Feb 14, '13 by CountryMomma, ADNI'm not. Wasn't as a CNA either. Wash hands, wash the produce, wash clothes, but hey, dirt happens. My family generally isn't ill often.
And for those people wearing their scrubs out in public...well, perhaps they are shopping before their shift. Perhaps they didn't have direct contact with clients, or their clients generally don't have infectious diseases. I wear scrubs from time to time out and about, I'd love to know that some nurses are judging me as a horrible infection vector because I'm in public wearing my scrubs that *didn't go outside of our simulator lab*.
- 0Mar 12, '13 by amberleighQuote from AviationurseThat's just weird, germy or not. Scrubs are a uniform. My husband was a Marine and couldn't even pump gas in his BDUs. I think of scrubs like BDUs. It is not appropriate to be "in public" in uniform. It is just weird.Not germaphobic at all......As for my friend who is also a nurse...she lives in her nursing scrubs and wears them after work including going to the nightclub at the casino, eating at restaurants, going to church , doing groceries, shopping in the mall, playing slots at the casino

It was a rough first half of the football season for El Reno, with the Indians having lost four straight entering Friday's game against Northwest Classen. But they took the first step toward righting the ship with a workmanlike 23-7 win at Taft Stadium.
High school football: El Reno shuts down Northwest Classen
El Reno (2-4, 1-2 District 5A-2) didn't win so much with offense — the Indians managed only 182 total yards — but with defense and special teams. The Indians limited Northwest (4-2, 2-1) to 49 yards of offense and four first downs and blocked or partially blocked three punts.
El Reno's Cal Baker completed 11 of 12 passes for 99 yards and two touchdowns, both to Justin Brown, and intercepted two passes on defense.
"Overall, the kids were ready to play and focused and really did a great job of executing in the first half," El Reno coach Shawn Mason said. "It was a good night, as long as you come out with a win and keep your goals alive and keep playing and move on.
"If you want to make the playoffs, you've got to win from here on out. You've got to get four out of five games and do your thing."
Northwest was off to the program's best start since 1971, but the Knights — playing without their usual starting quarterback, Jalen Harris — struggled to find any flow offensively.

Paddled: Playing Ping Pong in China
Finding my way in Beijing was tougher than I'd ever imagined. But sharpening my skills at a local youth academy for ping-pong—a game at which I'd dominated friends back home for years—seemed like an opportunity not to suck. So what if it meant beating up on little kids at the school and old men in the park? This would be my key to assimilation. Nice plan—but then I stared down the pre-teen pong machines and got my first real taste of China's national pastime read more

Anyone been to this place yet? How does it compare to chez nous? Not a lot of french food options in town...
I haven't been yet, but have been meaning to. Looks good– something maybe along the lines of Balthazar in NY (or maybe Schller's, it's cheaper, more pan-European sibling).
Would love to hear feedback as well. I'll post as soon as I go.
I went with 2 friends right after it opened, and we really enjoyed it. We were mostly focused on catching up, but I do remember some standouts: grilled asparagus with a perfectly fried egg atop, really nice duck confit (haven't found this classic prep elsewhere in town) served with a handful of greens, fresh fruit, and nuts. A little bowl of simple French lentils was dynamite. I was really happy with the server's wine suggestion; in fact, the service was excellent throughout.
Huge bonus was that it was quiet enough to converse, without feeling stuffy. (Went to No Va last week and quite liked our food but can't imagine returning unless they address acoustics. The server couldn't even hear us, and forget about having a good conversation over dinner.) Actually, not sure why I haven't been back to Arro yet. Will look forward to your reports!
re: storefronteats
Thanks for the info! Just as an FYI, La Traviata has duck confit. Haven't tried it in a while, but they've been doing it for a long time. Whole Foods downtown used to have a prepared version in their refrigerated section consisting of two leg quarters. It was pretty good, but I'm not sure if they still have it.
I prefer Chez Nous for the food. Arro seems to have a better "scene" although the food is not bad. Service was great, and the place was busy on a Friday night.
The seafood options on the pre fixe dinner menu were huge. The bread platter IMO was not worth the money (bread comes from Easy Tiger).
Ok..you asked and it is only my view of things...do take it for what it is worth
I find it a bit pretentous to charge for bread...it better be pretty awesome bread to charge for it and it was just well bread..kind of like the HEB artisan collection. I was hoping to see some rabbit on the menu instead of French sandwiches but was pleased to see duck confit and frogs legs. The frogs legs were rather disapointing ,very bland the confit was ok but lacked the richness I have come to expect. Dessert was completely skippable The service was pleasant enough but didnt seem very knowlegable( could be due to newness)
I finally got around to going this weekend with my parents – I thought it was pretty excellent.
I'd give the atmosphere and staff high marks. We ate outside, so it was significantly quieter than the dining room... I'd avoid the latter if you don't like the busy/noisy vibe. I enjoy it – we just sat outside because it was the quicker seating option. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, but not overbearingly so in either aspect. Nice guy.
For an appetizer, we got the charcuterie board, which came with three kinds of bread, regular and pecan butters, chicken liver mousse, duck rillette, pear preserves and a French cheese... I forget the name, but it was similar in taste, color and texture to manchego. Everything was delicious, particularly the mousse and rillette. Regarding the earlier remark about being dubious of the bread... Easy Tiger really does bake some damn fine stuff.
Entree wise, I got the moules frites. Fantastic, fennel-heavy broth, perfectly cooked mussels, good frites. My dad got the steak frites, which came sliced; it was perfectly cooked medium rare, with an impressive, very tasty char on the outside. Simple but quite good. My mom got the salad nicoise, one of my all time favorite French menu items, and it didn't disappoint. Perfectly cooked tuna, excellent vinaigrette, and the typically hard-boiled egg instead cooked to the point of a having soft, nearly runny yolk. I haven't had a lot of memorable nicoise salads in Austin (Blue Dahlia is the only really good one that comes to mind), so Arro's probably takes the top spot on my list.
Dessert was a panna cotta that was tasty, but I don't remember much about it. Maybe that's telling, but I'll also add that I'm not a huge dessert guy.
Overall I'd highly recommend this place for anyone who's into fairly classic brasserie fare. I'll definitely be going back.
re: popvulture
How does the nicoise salad compare to Hopfields? If it's better than theirs, I'm there in a heartbeat.
re: jwynne2000
Never been to Hopfields – I'll be sure to check it out!
re: popvulture
I really like their savory tarts and the mussels / frites. the vibe is chill, too.
Went a few weeks back. I really liked it. Had the moules frites and another fish dish (its been awhile I'm forgetting specifics) but I did really like it, noticed they had cassoulet on their menu and vowed to return just for that.
Easy Tiger easily (see what I did there?!) makes the best bread in town. But it does seem odd to me this resto charges for bread/butter. I also had a sneaking suspicion their fries were of the frozen variety, which is really disappointing, if they are doing 'french bistro' they really need to pull out the stops and make real fries.
I went earlier this week. We had the three course prix-fixe dinner.
I had the French onion soup to start. It was a rich broth, but I found it almost too dense with onions and could have used a bit more broth.
I had the croque-monsieur for my main and it was a very decent version of the classic bistro sandwich.
For dessert, I had a pot de creme. Again, decent version of a classic.
We also participated in the "bread program" (the server's words) and had the pecan butter and chicken liver mousse with it. Very good bread and butter, but I am not convinced of the value of paying $4-$5 for some bread and compound butter. That being said, the $25 for three courses was a great price.
The great price brings me to another point: while service was friendly and efficient, it managed to be a bit pretentious and condescending at the same time. While I think the three courses is a good option for even seasoned diners, the server spoke about it and made it seem like it was for less sophisticated diners. Even after that, when I ordered the sandwich, he suggested a fried egg and when I declined, he again made it seem like it "okay" for people not to get it because I might not know food well enough or have an adventurous palate. I don't know if others have had the same experience, or if I was just wearing my outfit that made it look like I hadn't seen civilization in a few years.

Maintaining business continuity is more important than ever. The intensity and frequency of major natural disasters has increased from 100 per year in the 1970s to more than 500 per year today, according to the Harvard School of Public Health, and small to mid-sized businesses don't have the resources on their own to recover in a timely manner from most disasters, even seemingly small ones.

Humble bug plugs gap in fossil record
An invertebrate found in Belgium is thought to be the world's oldest complete insect fossil.
Wed, Aug 01, 2012 at 01:47 PM

One day 370 million years ago, a tiny larva came to a sticky end when it plunged into a shrimp-infested swamp and drowned.
Unearthed in Belgium, the humble bug now looks set to plug a giant gap in the fossil record.
Named Strudiella devonica, the eight-millimeter invertebrate — while in far from mint condition — is thought by researchers who published their findings in Nature on Wednesday to be the world's oldest complete insect fossil.
"It has everything an insect should have: the legs, the antennae, the thorax and the abdomen," said Andre Nel of France's National History Museum, one of the authors of the study.
Scientists until now had few if any confirmed insect fossils from between 385 and 325 million years ago, a period known as the Hexapoda Gap, William A. Shear of Hampden-Sydney College wrote in a comment that accompanied the study.
Strudiella devonica could significantly narrow that gap in the fossil record.
Based on molecular DNA studies, Nel says scientists had long expected to find insect life dating that far back, but the fossil find yields insight into the evolutionary roots of the insect kingdom.
"Insects are an extremely ancient group, but we know very little about the earliest among them," he explained to AFP. "This find enables us to confirm our molecular dating, it's a palaeontological marker."
Nel said science "had a grand total of two fossilised mandibles from Scotland to account for the whole Devonian" — the geological period running from around 415 million to 360 million years ago.
From these isolated fossil fragments, some 400 million years old, fast-forward to a period known as the Carboniferous, 300 to 330 million years ago, and the fossil record teems with insects.
"In between this profusion of creatures of all kinds — cockroaches, dragonflies, grasshoppers — and the earliest specimens, we have nothing," Nel explained.
"Yet it was precisely at this time that these animals started to diversify, even started to appear since their ancestors were aquatic insects," he said.
With its six-legged thorax, long single-branched antennae, triangular jaws and 10-segmented abdomen, tiny Strudiella devonica is a strong contender for an insect ID card, Shear argues.
But he also urges a degree of caution, stressing the study is based on interpretation of a single fossil in relatively poor condition.
"What would make it more certain? A better preserved specimen, especially one that showed more clearly the appendages and mouthparts," he told AFP.
While the specimen itself does not have wings, the researchers believe that based on the shape of its mandibles — similar to those of a modern-day grasshopper — it is probably the larva of a winged animal.
If correct, that would also mean that winged insects originated much earlier than available fossils have suggested, Shear said.
The fossil was found in a rock slab in a quarry in Belgium, in a strata of very fine, slightly sandy clay — "probably a land animal that landed in a pond teeming with carnivorous shrimps, and that miraculously escaped being devoured by them," Nel said.

OK, as much as I like to make fun of the Note, it's actually a pretty awesome phone that a lot of people want, and so news that it's coming to T-Mobile is nothing to scoff at. Photos published by TmoNews all but confirm the gargantuan Galaxy is headed to America's pinkest (and leatheriest) carrier, giving credence to a UA string and some FCC filings unearthed last week.
There comes a time in every multinational electronics conglomerate's life when it tries to get into personal audio. Samsung isn't a particular stranger to the home theater side of sound, and some of its soundbar products actually review pretty decently. But a high-end headphone manufacturer, Samsung ain't. Search "samsung headphones" on Amazon, and you'll struggle to find anything costing more than $20.
The EHS71 is Samsung's first attempt to break into the premium earbud market.
A couple of weeks ago, we analyzed a crash log that referred to a mysterious Galaxy Nexus software profile called 'takju'. It was completely unknown at the time what takju was, but we know that Google has been using it to test the next version of Android, referred to as "Jelly Bean" in the crash log.
The veil of mystery has now been lifted, as we now know what this build is: it's the U.S GSM Nexus that was released this morning by Google for sale in the Play Store.
So, it looks like Google is getting back into the smartphone selling game - the GSM Galaxy Nexus just showed up on the Play Store. What's even more interesting, is the fact that it's selling for $399, unlocked and completely contract free. Three-hundred-ninety-nine dollars. That's only $99 more than many of Verizon's subsidized phones!
Since this just landed, we're not entirely sure of all the details yet, but we're going to start digging through the page and will update this post with all the info we find.
Samsung Mobile, as part of what has certainly been an epic lead-up to a new flagship so far, released an official Unpacked 2012 companion app to Google's Play Store today, bringing some awesome functionality both to those lucky enough to attend the event and everyone else.
One of the most impressive features of the app is that it allows users to watch the event in real time. This means users can watch the unveiling of the "Next Galaxy" live no matter where they are.
Yesterday, Samsung started promoting a cryptic site, tgeltaayehxnx.com, which sported nothing but a countdown due to run out about half an hour ago, at 4am Pacific time. The most observant souls quickly figured out that the domain is an anagram for thenextgalaxy.com, a site registered by the same advertising agency (The Upper Storey) and, to our disappointment, password protected.
Come 4am, and password protected it is no more, revealing [if you can get through]...
Need a new tablet? You're in luck, because the selection just got a little wider today, thanks to new offerings from ASUS and Samsung.
ASUS Transformer Pad 300
If you're in the market for a nice high-spec-low-price 10.1-inch tablet, then the ASUS Transformer Pad 300 is a hard one to beat. It's packing specs pretty close to the Transformer Prime, but thanks to a slightly lower-quality display and plastic body, comes in at around $150 less than the Prime.
While we're all waiting around for the Galaxy Note 10.1 to arrive and blow us away with its S-Pen powers on a Photoshop-equipped tablet, Samsung has set a couple new tablets loose on the market. Headlining on price, the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 competes head-to-head with the Nook Tablet and the Kindle Fire. This tablet's advantage: Android 4.0. At $250, it's the cheapest way to get the full Android experience.
When we first heard about a $250 7" Android tablet, it wasn't from Samsung, but ASUS.
The day that many Sprint customers have been waiting for is finally here: the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. That's not the only new device to hit The Now Network today, either - the LG Viper and LG Optimus Elite also join the ranks of new offerings on Sprint.
Galaxy Nexus
Although the Galaxy Nexus pre-order inventory sold out after only three days of availability, it looks like there are plenty to go around now.
It's pretty clear that many consumers are interested in the gargantuan Galaxy Note. Unfortunately, it hasn't seen the same kind of mainstream success as the Galaxy S2 because only AT&T has had access to the device. But according to FCC filings and a user agent string obtained by TmoNews, T-Mobile is preparing a device that multiple pieces of evidence point to being the Galaxy Note.
First off, we have the screen resolution: 800 x 1280.

California inmate charged in 1980 double slaying
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - A man imprisoned in California has confessed to the shooting deaths of two women nearly 34 years ago, Terre Haute police said Tuesday.
Harry L. Rowley, 61, was arrested on a warrant in January charging him with two counts of murder in the slayings of Lucinda Farmer, 29, and Mary Quillen, 28, police said. WTHI-TV and the Tribune-Star report their bodies, each with a single gunshot wound to the head, were found in an alley on July 4, 1980.
Investigators reopened the case four years ago and traveled last October to California State Prison-Los Angeles County, where Rowley is serving a life sentence for a separate slaying.
Documents indicate Rowley and his wife resided in the same apartment complex where Farmer and Quillen were roommates. He told investigators that when he saw the women leaning on his car parked behind his apartment, he went into the apartment to retrieve a gun and shot each of them once.
Rowley stated he then went back inside the apartment to lie down next to his wife, court documents said. A couple hours later, he moved his car so his wife would not see the bodies, and he and his wife left for Indianapolis, about 70 miles east of Terre Haute, because he knew the police would be looking for him.
A few days later, Rowley and his wife returned to their apartment, packed up and left Indiana, documents said.
Rowley told investigators he was sorry for killing the women and that he wanted to apologize to their families.
Farmer's sister, Louise Watkins, attended the police news conference, where she praised the efforts of lead investigator Lt. Edward Tompkins and others. She called Tompkins each week after she learned he had reopened the cold case.
"I thought people forgot," Watkins said.

My front lawn is turning brown. I have fertilized, used insect control and fungus control. I water once a day, for 15 min in the am, using an inground watering system that is preset. What else can I do? I live in south NJ and it is in the 90's. I have no shade and I do not cut the grass short.
That's good you're not cutting the grass short. Especially during the summer heat, turf does better when it is left a little long. It could be that despite your daily irrigation, the turf is going dormant for the summer. Cool season grasses rest during the hottest, driest weeks in the summer. Soon after the cooler fall weather comes and the turf starts to green up again, cut your watering to every other, and then every third day. Then next spring program your irrigation system to run every third or fourth day. By increasing your watering intervals, you'll encourage the turf to root more deeply. Deeper roots means your lawn will respond better to the irrigation next summer and you'll be able to avoid summer dormancy.
