Controlling Linux with voice input
Clear Statement
Simon is a sophisticated speech recognition tool with easy access to two powerful speech recognition engines, Julius and CMU Sphinx.
On Windows and Mac OS X, users have long grown accustomed to controlling the PC not just with the keyboard and mouse, but by voice. For several years, Linux has been playing catch-up. The nonprofit association "Simon Listens", founded by Franz Stieger, is the driving force behind the Simon speech recognition software.
The application, originally developed to give people with special needs access to barrier-free PC use, has been around for several years. The association still pursues this goal, but the developers have discovered some additional uses for the software, including verbal control systems that facilitate the use of modern communication technologies by the elderly or allow humans to control robots, wheelchairs, and lifts. However, if you are looking to dictate text to Simon, you will not be happy with the results and will need to look elsewhere.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Nikkei 225 (日経平均株価 Nikkei heikin kabuka?, 日経225), more commonly called the Nikkei, the Nikkei index, or the Nikkei Stock Average[1][2] (/ˈnɪkeɪ/, /ˈniːkeɪ/, or /nɪˈkeɪ/), is a stock market index for the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). It has been calculated daily by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Nikkei) newspaper since 1950. It is a price-weighted index (the unit is yen), and the components are reviewed once a year. Currently, the Nikkei is the most widely quoted average of Japanese equities, similar to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. In fact, it was known as the "Nikkei Dow Jones Stock Average" from 1975 to 1985.[3]
The Nikkei 225 began to be calculated on September 7, 1950, retroactively calculated back to May 16, 1949. Since January 2010 the index is updated every 15 seconds during trading sessions.
The Nikkei 225 Futures, introduced at Singapore Exchange (SGX) in 1986, the Osaka Securities Exchange (OSE) in 1988, Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) in 1990, is now an internationally recognized futures index.[4]
The Nikkei average has deviated sharply from the textbook model of stock averages which grow at a steady exponential rate. The average hit its all-time high on December 29, 1989, during the peak of the Japanese asset price bubble, when it reached an intra-day high of 38,957.44 before closing at 38,915.87, having grown sixfold during the decade. Subsequently, it lost nearly all these gains, closing at 7,054.98 on March 10, 2009—81.9% below its peak twenty years earlier.
Another major index for the Tokyo Stock Exchange is the Topix.
On March 15, 2011, the second working day after the massive earthquake in the northeast part of Japan, the index dropped over 10% to finish at 8605.15, a loss of 1,015 points. The index continued to drop throughout 2011, eventually bottoming out at 8160.01 on November 25, putting it at its lowest close since March 10, 2009. The Nikkei fell over 17% in 2011, finishing the year at 8455.35, its lowest year-end closing value in nearly thirty years, when the index finished at 8016.70 in 1982.[5]
The Nikkei started 2013 near 10,600, hitting a peak of 15,942 in May. However, shortly afterward, it plunged by almost 10% before rebounding, making it the most volatile stock market index among the developed markets. In October, 2013, the UK-based hedge fund Algorates, whose strategy is based partially on high-frequency trading, a technique most successful in markets with high volatility, announced major positions in the Nikkei 225. [6]
Stocks are weighted on the Nikkei 225 by giving an equal weighting based on a par value of 50 yen per share. Events such as stock splits, removals and additions of constituents impact upon the effective weighting of individual stocks and the divisor. The Nikkei 225 is designed to reflect the overall market, so there is no specific weighting of industries.
Stocks are reviewed annually and announcements of review results are made in September. Changes, if required, are made at the beginning of October. Changes may also take place at any time if a stock is found to be ineligible (e.g., delisting). All proposed changes will be announced in Nikkei's Japanese newspapers and will appear on Nikkei.com.
After a stock has been replaced, the divisor is reviewed and modified to ensure a smooth transition of the stock index.

Discussing important, pressing issues with Faiz Rehman for Voice of America – Cafe DC
The Export-Import Bank is Virginia's economic growth engine
By George Allen
The Richmond Times-Dispatch
August 17, 2014
With the Port of Virginia in Hampton Roads being the third-busiest port on the East Coast, Virginia plays an integral role in our country's exporting economy. Our Virginia ports are valuable assets that enable exporters in a variety of industries from across the commonwealth and Mid-Atlantic to ship goods to overseas buyers competing in the global marketplace. Just as our ports facilitate the physical transfer of goods from the United States abroad, the U.S. Export-Import Bank facilitates the financing necessary for domestic and Virginia firms to succeed abroad.
For our commonwealth, the Ex-Im Bank has facilitated nearly $1.4 billion in export sales since 2007, according to publicly available data from the bank; sustaining close to 8,900 jobs and bolstering Virginia's economic growth. The agency's positive effects are felt far and wide in our state. However, if Congress fails to reauthorize the bank's charter by Sept. 30, the employees of Virginia exporters who have used the Bank — like Bristol Compressors International Inc. and Orbital Sciences Corp., as well as their supply chain partners — stand to lose future opportunities in overseas markets.
As a longtime champion of Virginia's economy, I can attest to the value the Ex-Im Bank provides to our business owners and their capable working men and women. Every day, firms and suppliers — both small and large — across Virginia use the bank's financing tools to compete and thrive in the global arena and sell their products into some of the fastest-growing economies in the world.
With more than 60 other foreign Ex-Im Banks around the world supporting their own domestic industries, it's vital that our home-grown companies be able to turn to our Ex-Im Bank when they need financing support. Otherwise, they will find themselves at a disadvantage, competing in a world with one hand tied behind their back.
Exports are crucial to Virginia's economy and were a vital part of our recovery from the recent recession. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, from 2009 to 2013, manufactured exports in Virginia grew 28 percent. Why would our public servants paralyze a tool that supports exports, competitiveness and jobs?
Virginia's elected officials have a long history of working in a bipartisan manner to promote jobs and economic growth. Both U.S. Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine have shown this commitment to Virginia and both co-sponsored much-needed bipartisan legislation that would reauthorize the bank for five years before the charter's expiration.
As a society, we shouldn't let political infighting jeopardize the competitiveness of American business and our economic growth. The fact is, every Congress has supported the bank during its 80 year existence and the bank was most recently reauthorized with more than 75 percent of Congressional support in 2012.
The divisive politics surrounding the 2014 election should not be the catalyst to shuttering an agency that has withstood the test of decades of leadership changes and is supporting jobs in our neighborhoods. Indeed, last year after paying its own operating expenses, the Ex-Im Bank returned a $1 billion profit for the U.S. Treasury from fees and interest.
The future of the Export-Import Bank does not deserve to be fought along the lines of political ploys or entrenched into the political gamesmanship that accompanies the campaign seasons.
Running out the clock on the charter of the Ex-Im Bank hurts our businesses and jobs at home, and provides no benefit to the U.S. taxpayers. The stakes are too high and too serious.
If public servants truly care about American jobs and competitiveness, then stop posturing and dawdling: Reauthorize the Ex-Im Bank. It's just common sense.
George Allen served as Virginia's governor from 1994-98 and in the U.S. Senate from 2001-07. He is co-chairman of the National Association of Manufacturers' Manufacturing Competitiveness Initiative.
Allen: Reagan's Ex-Im Bank reforms still paying dividends
The lender that reaped $1 billion in 2013 deserves reauthorization
By George Allen
The Washington Times
Friday, May 23, 2014
President Reagan was one of our country's greatest leaders because he valued fair opportunities for the American people over political manipulations that waste taxpayer money.
The "Great Communicator" listened and connected with Americans and then acted in the best interest of our nation. This is why Reagan and presidents from both parties have shown strong support for the Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank. The Ex-Im Bank's charter has been reauthorized every term since its inception in 1934.
However, I won't claim that the Ex-Im Bank has always been a flawless federal agency. In fact, Reagan was a scrutinizing supporter. From the start, he called for major reforms and instilled discipline and budget transparency. Limits were imposed upon the Ex-Im Bank, and subsidies were significantly cut. Those changes have helped to make the Ex-Im Bank self-sustaining today. The Ex-Im Bank not only does not receive or need taxpayer subsidies, but it also turned a $1 billion profit in 2013.
Working with Congress, Reagan fought for structural changes that eventually made the Ex-Im Bank a stronger and more fiscally sound institution. Years later, he reaffirmed his support for its mission to help American workers and families, small businesses and manufacturers and taxpayers, while growing and strengthening the U.S. economy.
On the Ex-Im Bank's 50th anniversary in 1984, Reagan signed a letter praising the agency for its accomplishments, declaring the United States the greatest trading nation in the world owing to a combination of talented Americans and a free-enterprise economy. However, he also noted, "We must all work together to encourage a greater competitive spirit on the part of American companies as we seek to meet the challenges of exporting today and in the years ahead."

Allen & Lincoln: Let's Not Harmfully Politicize the Success of U.S. Businesses
By Former Senators George Allen (R-VA) and Blanche Lincoln (D-AR)
The Shopfloor – A Manufacturing Blog
May 5, 2014
In recent months, the reauthorization of the Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank—a federal organization with longtime bipartisan support—has somehow found its way into the center of a politically fueled debate on international trade.
At the insistence of a few organizations that should know better, certain Republicans are digging in their heels against reauthorizing this important financial credit facility for small, medium and large U.S. businesses. For companies relying on the Ex-Im Bank, this is a very serious threat as the importance of global trade to advancing industry and job growth in the United States is becoming increasingly essential.
With improving productivity of U.S. industry and 95 percent of the world's consumers living outside the United States, exports are more important than ever to American businesses, manufacturers and the overall strength of our nation's economy, including hundreds of thousands of creative working American men and women. The ability to thrive in the global marketplace is no longer a luxury reserved for only large corporations; it is a vital operating strategy for the dedicated people who work in small and medium-sized businesses.

Allen: Reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank is a no-brainer
By George Allen
The Washington Examiner
April 25, 2014
Today, exports are more important than ever to American businesses, manufacturers, and the overall strength of our nation's economy. With 95 percent of the world's consumers living outside the United States, many companies can be more successful if they are able to expand and thrive in the global marketplace.
With that in mind, it seems like an easy call to support reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank — one of the hottest topics in Washington right now.
The Ex-Im Bank is an independent federal organization that has historically enjoyed bipartisan support, as it has been highly successful in helping American companies export goods since 1934. In fact, just last year the bank facilitated $37 billion of exports, thereby bolstering about 205,000 U.S. jobs.
However, some Republican members of Congress have expressed hesitation in supporting this proven booster for private-sector U.S. jobs. While it has become easy to make a habit of criticizing policies of the current administration, this is an organization that is to be commended, not condemned. After all, what's more Republican than an entity that spurs American business and jobs, while helping to reduce the federal deficit at no cost to taxpayers? That's exactly what the Ex-Im Bank does, and American companies rely on it to survive in hypercompetitive foreign markets in which governments unfairly prop up and heavily subsidize their own nation's companies.
I believe it's important to remember that President Ronald Reagan supported the Ex-Im Bank. When Reagan signed the reauthorization in 1986, extending the bank's charter for six years, he noted that it "sends an important signal to both our exporting community and foreign suppliers that American exporters will continue to be able to compete vigorously for business throughout the world."
Reagan's message still rings true today.

Allen: Remembering the tax-reform lessons that Reagan taught
By George Allen
The Washington Times
February 24, 2014
These days we hear gloomy statements that no significant reforms can be accomplished by a lame-duck president in his sixth year in office with a partisan, divided House and Senate, in an election year.
Fortunately, there are a few goals both sides agree upon: We need to boost our underperforming economy, thereby creating more jobs. One solution should also be crystal clear: It's time for a complete overhaul of our complicated, costly tax code.
It's instructive to reflect on the United States' last major successful tax simplification effort, the Tax Reform Act of 1986. President Reagan was in his sixth year as president, Republicans controlled the Senate and Democrats ruled the House.
It didn't seem like an ideal time, but leadership in Washington joined together to improve opportunities for Americans by creating a simpler, fairer and more competitive tax code.
The United States experienced strong economic growth and prosperity in part as a result of a lower corporate-tax rate that allowed the nation to become more economically competitive with Western Europe and Japan.
A simplified, fairer code also made it easier for taxpayers and businesses to comply, reducing administrative costs and boosting confidence in the fairness of tax laws envisioned by Reagan.
Through the past 28 years, the U.S. tax system has been made more time consuming, confusing and onerous. The need for new, pro-growth comprehensive tax reform is greater now than in 1986.

Issues & Audibles: Ed Gillespie for Senate
Today on Issues & Audibles on Andy Parks live from the Washington Times, I was happy to announce Susan and my endorsement of Ed Gillespie to be Virginia's next United States Senator!
It is past time to unleash American ingenuity, creativity and energy. America is not reaching its full potential because of government impediments and policies that hinder growth. That is why Susan and I are glad that our longtime trusted friend and neighbor Ed Gillespie is running for the U.S. Senate.
Susan and I are confident that Ed will run a courteous, issues-oriented campaign, and as Senator he will work to improve opportunities for Virginians with tax, regulatory and energy policies that foster job growth, encourage innovation and allow hardworking people to keep more of what they earn. We know Ed will earnestly work to make sure every person has an equal opportunity to compete and succeed and help get our country confidently moving in the right direction.
Whether it is a more vibrant economy, personal control of health care, affordable energy, or national defense, Susan and I are certain Ed will vote the best way for Virginia and America. That is why we are endorsing Ed and respectfully ask our fellow Virginians to unite for Ed's campaign for a better future.

Issues & Audibles – Super Bowl Picks
On "Issues & Audibles" today, Andy and I discussed the great news for Barbara Comstock with State Senator Dick Black dropping out of the 10th District Congressional race to keep his vital seat in the evenly split State Senate. Del. Comstock will now be better able to save money and attract more voters to her unifying campaign. Meanwhile, for a change, the Democrats will have an intense 4-way intra-squad nomination contest.
In the lead by 2 over Ann, with only one more game to go, after going 6-0 over the past 2 weeks, I have 58, Ann has 56 and Andy has 46. For the Super Bowl, Andy and I preliminarily pick the Denver Broncos, and Ann is picking Seattle.

Issues & Audibles – Championship Weekend, 2014 Campaigns in Northern Virginia
On this week's edition of "Issues & Audibles", Andy and I discussed the three big Congressional races in Northern Virginia this year. There are some good potential Republican candidates in the tough, open 8th District (Jim Moran announced his retirement this week), and Barbara Comstock is picking up important endorsements in the open 10th. Also, Suzanne Scholte – a strong, recognized, energetic leader for promoting freedom abroad and here – is moving forward to serve the people in the 11th Congressional District.
We also discussed two proposals in the General Assembly: one would legalize real fireworks here in Virginia – which I favor for fun, jobs and revenues; and a nanny bill, which thankfully was defeated, would have made seatbelt enforcement a primary offense. Finally, I don't think any of Governor McAuliffe's proposed gun restrictions will get much traction in the General Assembly, but it's important that we citizens let our elected representatives know what we think about these and other issues.
Heading into Championship Weekend, having gone 4-0 last week, I'm in the lead with 56, Ann is in a close second at 54 and Andy has
48 46. Here are our picks for this weekend's great conference championship games.

Issues & Audibles – Playoffs and New Leadership
On yesterday's episode of "Issues & Audibles", Andy and I discussed the Redskin's new head coach, Jay Gruden. He will bring passion and energy to motivate and prepare his players. We also discussed Barbara Comstock's positive candidacy for the 10th District Congressional seat. With the right ideas, a strong record of leadership for her constituents, and the common sense conservative credentials to win, Susan and I fully support her! Then, we discussed the deteriorating situation in Iraq.
Finally, we ran through the upcoming General Assembly session, which will focus on ethics reform to rebuild confidence in the integrity of Virginia governance and restore the trust of Virginians. Mental health services and Medicaid reform will also likely be addressed.
Heading into the Divisional games, I'm in the lead with 52, Ann is in a close second at 51 and Andy still in range at 45. Here are our picks for this weekend's playoff games.

I created Lord Ashbury in January 2012 as a means of artistic expression. Little did I know, in just a few short months that expression would be singularly focused in the direction of fashion, but more specifically, that it would be about individual style. My exploration of street style in particular became a passion that has led to many unexpected and wonderful opportunities, and in the process, my insatiable desire to document its continual evolution has consumed my life. I now travel all over the world in pursuit of capturing street style with a camera, both the positivity and vulnerability of it.
Documenting the high-end trends at various Fashion Week events around the world, working with brands and creating narratives from social events are all things you'll find here in the pages of Lord Ashbury. But that's only part of it.
When I find someone that I'd like to photograph, the energy of the person is often more important to me than the clothes they are wearing. When I photograph models backstage before a show, I'm drawn to the fragility of their nature, the solitude they seek through the chaos. It's about the fact that Style is often the product of soul-searching, discovery—the clothes don't mean anything until somebody wears them. But it has to be the right somebody. This doesn't mean that they have to be so tall or have magazine-ready features; style is thoughtful, confident. It commands me to pay attention when it approaches. These are the people I'm drawn to, the ones who make fashion exciting for me.
With Lord Ashbury, I seek to create a definitive work that humanises fashion, one portrait at a time.

In his speech at the annual meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke listed his options to counter a faltering economy. One of the three items on the list was reducing the 0.25 percent interest rate that the Federal Reserve Board now pays on reserves.
It is striking that Bernanke would include this item on his list because he just instituted the policy of paying interest on reserves last year. At the time there was no discussion of the possibility that paying interest on reserves would have any significant negative impact on growth. If paying interest does not slow growth, then reducing the interest rate paid on reserves cannot raise growth.
Reporters covering Mr. Bernanke's speech should have made this point, since it suggests that he does not have any real plans to deal with a weak economy. It would have also been worth pointing out that the economy is growing much slower than the 3.0 to 3.5 percent range that the Fed had forecast earlier in the year. The second quarter data showed the economy growing just 1.6 percent, with final demand growing at a 1.0 percent rate. If Bernanke is prepared to take action in response to a weak economy, this would appear to be the time, as the unemployment rate is likely to rise through the rest of the year.
It is worth noting that at this gathering 5 years ago the participants debated whether Alan Greenspan was the greatest central banker of all time.
That's what NYT columnist Joe Nocera is apparently worried about. That doesn't quite fit the data. The Census Department data show that rental vacancy rates are at record highs.
The article also claims that many otherwise creditworthy borrowers are unable to get mortgages. This is inconsistent with the Mortgage Bankers Association data on mortgage applications. This series shows applications going through the floor since the end of the first-time buyers tax credit in May. (That is why people who follow the housing market were not surprised by the plunge in sales reported for July.)
If creditworthy borrowers were finding it difficult to get mortgages then it would be expected that the number of applications would be rising sharply relative to the number of sales, since many buyers would have to make multiple applications to get a mortgage and some would make several applications and still not get a mortgage.
The Washington Post accomplished what might have seemed impossible: it had a major front page article on the trade deficit without once mentioning the over-valued dollar. The only vague reference comes near the end in a sentence that refers to "China's currency and other policies."
Those folks who took economics would remember that the main determinants of a country's trade deficit are its GDP and the value of its currency. Other things equal, when a country's economy expands, it buys more of everything, including more imports. This means that GDP could be a culprit in the trade deficit, but there would be few people who would claim that our GDP was too high in the years 2005 and 2006 as the trade deficit was hitting record shares of GDP.
This leaves the other culprit, an over-valued currency. The value of the dollar determines how expensive imports are relative to U.S. goods. If the dollar fell in value, we would buy fewer imports. This is a point which is widely accepted outside of the confines of the Washington Post. Of course, a lower dollar will also boost U.S. exports since it will make our exports cheaper to people living in other countries. For these reasons, a discussion of currency values would be featured front and center in a serious discussion of the trade deficit.
Suppose Paul Krugman or Bob Herbert got just about everything wrong in their columns on a regular basis. Suppose that they were not just wrong on peripheral matters, but on facts that were central to their argument. What would happen?
These progressive columnists would almost certainly be sent packing. There are plenty of smart articulate progressive writers. If these two couldn't get their facts right, the NYT would have no problem finding someone to replace them who could.
Apparently, the same does not apply to conservative columnists as demonstrated by David Brooks. He gets his facts wrong on a regular basis and not just on side matters. Often the mistake is on an issue that is the central point of his column.
He gave us a beautiful example today. He told readers that the United States had decided to go the big government route to recover from the downturn whereas Germany had gone the austerity route. Brooks tells readers:
"This divergence created a natural experiment. Who was right? The early returns suggest the Germans were."
He then points to Germany's 9.0 percent growth in the second quarter compared to the near stagnation in the U.S. economy.
Brooks is good enough to note that, "results from one quarter do not settle the stimulus/austerity debate," but let's ask if they show anything.
The chart below shows the OECD's estimates of real government expenditures for Germany and the United States since the third quarter of 2008.
Yes, that's right. David Brook's austerity model has seen a sharper increase in government spending since the crisis than his stimulus model. This suggests that the Germany/U.S. comparison might be somewhat less compelling then he implies.
How long would Krugman or Herbert be working at NYT if they made mistakes like this on a regular basis?
In an article reporting on the plunge in new home sales reported for July, the NYT wrongly told readers that "July was the first month that home buyers could no longer qualify for a tax credit of as much as $8,000, which analysts said may have contributed to the decline." The end of the tax credit was a major factor in the plunge in existing home sales reported on Tuesday, but not the drop in new home sales.
The existing homes series refers to the closings on existing home sales. These sales were typically contracted 6-8 weeks earlier. While the homes that were closed in June likely qualified for the homebuyers tax credit, this would not be true of the existing homes that closed in July.
However the new home sales refer to contracts signed for selling new homes. May, not July, was the first month in which contracts would not qualify for the tax credit.
The copy editors at the NYT are apparently on vacation. The NYT told readers that: "the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported that the policies had lifted growth in the second quarter by up to 4.5 percent."
No, that's not quite right. CBO reported that the cumulative gain to GDP due to the stimulus by the second quarter of 2010 might have been as much as 4.5 percent. This does not refer to the growth rate in the second quarter itself.
The NYT has apparently decided to give up on the old-fashioned distinction between news and opinion. They recently ran a piece by Matt Bai insisting that there is no alternative to cutting Social Security to deal with the federal debt. The piece includes the bizarre assertion that Treasury bonds are "often referred to as i.o.u.'s."
This is, of course, absurd. The business pages of major newspapers are full of references to Treasury bonds all the time. The bonds are never referred to as "i.o.u.'s." The article then includes the bizarre assertion about government bonds that the only way for the government to make good on the bonds it has outstanding: "is to issue mountains of new debt or to take the money from elsewhere in the federal budget, or perhaps impose significant tax increases — none of which seem like especially practical options for the long term."
Bai's opinion is radically at odds with perceptions in financial markets. These markets view it as almost inconceivable that the government will not honor its bonds, which is why the interest rate on long-term bonds is near its lowest level in the last 60 years.
While presenting what is supposed to be a non-partisan view of Social Security, remarkably, Bai never once examines the program's finances nor the financial situation of the people who would experience the cuts that are being considered.
How else can we explain the fact that in a country suffering from the worst unemployment crisis in 70 years, CNN Money headlines a piece: "America's Debt Crisis"? CNN Money probably does not have access to financial market information. Otherwise it would know that the interest rate on U.S. government bonds are near 60-year lows.
This suggests that financial markets are not at all worried about U.S. government debt. The debt crisis exists only in the heads of people who are either unaware of financial markets or who are trying to spread fear in order to get political support for things like cutting Social Security.
The piece notes the opposition of many groups to cuts to Social Security, but then tells readers that: "nonpartisan deficit experts say the debt trajectory for the country is so worrisome that nothing in the federal budget can be off the table. That includes Social Security, which will only be able to pay out roughly three-quarters of promised benefits to future retirees by 2037."
This might be true, but nonpartisan deficit experts also point out that if the United States fixed its health care system then it would have massive budget surpluses as far as the eye can see. Nonpartisan deficit experts also point out that Social Security payments are already relatively meager compared to what most other countries pay their retirees. Nonpartisan deficit experts also point out that most retirees have very little other than Social Security to support themselves. And, they point out that Social Security's shortfall can be relatively easily made up with revenue increases that are comparable to those put in place in the decades of each the 1950s, the 1960s, the 1970s, and the 1980s.
It appears as though CNN Money only spoke to nonpartisan deficit experts who wanted to cut Social Security.
That should have been the headline of an article reporting on Representative John Boehner's call for President Obama to fire his top economic officials. The article reports that Boehner asserted: "business operators around the nation were anxious about investing in an uncertain business climate given the new policies coming out of Washington. 'The prospect of higher taxes, stricter rules and more regulation has employers sitting on their hands.'"
The data show businesses are actually increasing investment at a rapid pace. Investment in equipment and software has risen at more than an 18 percent annual rate over the last three quarters. It is newsworthy that Mr. Boehner is apparently unaware of the most basic economic data, since he is making strong assertions that are clearly at odds with reality. Mr. Boehner's ignorance of the state of the economy should have been a prominent item in the news.

NH Sen. Ayotte calls for full-scale Benghazi investigation
In congressional testimony last week, Eric Nordstrom, who served as a State Department regional security officer in Libya at the time of the attack, said all legally-mandated protective measures for the Benghazi complex were not in place at the time of the attack. Nordstrom said that under federal law, exceptions to the security requirements can only be made with the approval of the Secretary of State.
Ayotte said further investigation of Clinton's role is appropriate, denying that the questions being raised are grounded in partisan politics.
"The person representing the State Department happened to be Victoria Nuland, who has worked for Democrats and Republicans alike, at one time worked for Vice President Cheney," Durbin said. "She's certainly not a partisan in this exchange."

|Tampa Bay Rays have internal discussions about Barry Bonds
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 25 February 2008 09:31
Manager Joe Maddon said Monday he knew ``little'' about what was going on, but acknowledged some thought has been given to the career home-run leader.
``A minor discussion was thrown out there a little bit, and it's really not gone any further than that,'' Maddon said after Monday's workout at the team's spring training facility. ``That's all it is right now.''
The St. Petersburg Times reported in Monday's editions that team officials have conferred among themselves about Bonds and other veteran unsigned free agents, such as Kenny Lofton and Mike Piazza. Andrew Friedman, Rays vice president of baseball operations, called the report a ``non-story.''
Bonds, who broke Henry Aaron's career home run record last summer, has pleaded not guilty to perjury and obstruction of justice charges stemming from testimony to a federal grand jury in 2003 in which he said he never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs.
Maddon shrugged off a question about how Bonds might fit in with the Rays if the team decided to pursue him and ultimately added him to the roster.
``It's hard to conjecture. ... I don't know this man. I only know what I read, and I'm very much open to meeting people and drawing my own conclusions about people. I don't necessarily believe everything that I read,'' Maddon said.
``For me to create conjecture of what it's going to be like, I really don't want to go there right now. ... So many things are going good right now. If I have to face those moments, I'll do it at the appropriate time. But for right now, it's really about nothing.''

LONDON — Britain's Prince William has described his joy at introducing his newborn son to the world on the steps of a London hospital last month — and about his nerves about fitting the car seat securely into the Land Rover before driving off.
William told CNN in his first interview since Prince George's birth that both he and the Duchess of Cambridge couldn't wait to show off their child to the world.
"I'm just glad he wasn't screaming his head off the whole way through," he said of Prince George in an interview broadcast Monday.
William says he practiced making sure the car seat fit securely before driving off.
"Driving your son and your wife away from hospital was really important to me," he said.
