Published May 28, 2010
A new species of giant flying reptile has been found in the sands of the Sahara, a new study says.
But the 95-million-year-old pterosaur likely preferred life on the ground, spending most of its time stalking prey in what was once a lush wetland.
(See picture: "Giant Flyers Hunted Dinos on Foot?")
The 95-million-year old Alanqa saharicafrom, discovered in 2008 in southeast Morocco, belonged to a pterosaur family that flourished some 70 million years ago.
Jaw and neck bones of the newfound fossil identify it as the oldest known ancestor of the azhdarchids, a type of large pterosaur, said study leader Nizar Ibrahim of Ireland's University College Dublin.
A. saharicafrom had a toothless, beak-like jaw, a long, slender neck, and an estimated wingspan of 19.5 feet (6 meters), the study said.
"That tells us that even these very early azhdarchids were already pretty big and had the same kind of body proportions [as later giant species]," Ibrahim said.
Recent research also suggests that azhdarchids such as A. saharicafrom didn't fly that much. For example A. saharicafrom may have hunted "lizards and little dinosaurs with their long, slender jaws," Ibrahim said—"a bit like a stork or a heron."
"Amazingly Productive" Green Sahara
These winged creatures' light and flimsy bones seldom survive as fossils, and examples from Africa are especially rare.
"All the pterosaur material that has ever been found in Africa could fit on a very small table," he said.
But Ibrahim and colleagues got lucky during their expedition: They found similarly aged fossil fragments that belonged to two other previously unknown and unrelated pterosaurs.
(Related: "Pterosaur 'Runway' Found; Shows Birdlike Landing Style.")
These discoveries suggest that several different pterosaur species lived side by side, eating different prey in the ancient river delta.
For instance, one of the two yet-to-be described species had long, thin teeth that may have been used for grabbing fish while gliding over water. (Read about the Sahara's evolution from delta to desert.)
Surrounded by dry land, this wet ecosystem also supported diverse forms of crocodiles and dinosaurs, Ibrahim noted.
"It was such an amazingly productive environment," he said.
The findings were published on May 26 in the journal PLoS ONE.

CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) -- It's been more than two decades since a discovery this big has been made at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in southeastern New Mexico.
Park officials announced this week that a new room has been discovered high in the ceiling of the main cavern. It was found on Halloween night by Derek Bristol, a caver and volunteer with the Cave Research Foundation, and Shawn Thomas, a cave technician at the park.
The two had climbed more than 250 feet to the "Spirit World" area to finish surveying as part of work to create a new map of the caverns. Once inside, they decided to make their way to a ledge about 15 feet away. The ledge had been observed on previous trips but never explored.
"Most of the time, obscure leads like this go nowhere," Thomas said.
To their surprise, it opened up to a long passage.
"I remember being really shocked. I couldn't believe this was happening," said Thomas, who followed Bristol through the passage and into the large room they dubbed Halloween Hall. "There hasn't been a room this big discovered in decades."
Inside the colorful room were football-size crystal formations, light-blue endellite clay, a cascade of flow stone left behind by mineral deposits and thousands of bat bones. The room is about 100 feet in diameter.
Bristol and Thomas did not have time to venture beyond the entrance of the room so more exploration and mapping is planned for early next year.
Park spokeswoman Valerie Gohlke told the Carlsbad Current-Argus (http://bit.ly/1bCuD4M) that there's more to be discovered and the recent find should spark interest in new explorations.
Halloween Hall will not be open to the public due to inaccessibility and safety issues. The climb is too difficult for the average climber, Thomas said.
More than 400,000 people visit Carlsbad Caverns each year to get a glimpse of the monumental stalagmites and stalactites, delicate soda straws, translucent draperies and reflective pools that decorate the park's main attraction, the Big Room.
Only a fraction of visitors get a chance to experience off-trail tours because of limited reservations.
Since Carlsbad Caverns' discovery around 1898 by a teenage cowhand, scientists and explorers have discovered more than 118 caves in the area.
The fascination with Carlsbad Caverns comes partly from the way the caves were formed, a process responsible for just 5 percent of the world's caves. It started some 250 million years ago with the creation of a reef formed from the remains of sea sponges and other creatures. Then came evaporation, erosion and uplift. Rainwater seeped down while hydrogen sulfide-rich water migrated upward from the vast oil and natural gas deposits below. The resulting sulfuric acid ate away the limestone, forming the massive chambers that visitors see today.

Smart light bulbs developed by Tesla alum
While Wi-Fi-enabled lighting like the Phillips Hue is nothing new, it still requires making lighting changes via a smartphone app. Stack Lighting, on the other hand, embeds the necessary smarts directly in the bulb, enabling the device to read room conditions and adjust its lighting accordingly, with little to no effort by the user.

Currently, if you want to know more about an item displayed in front of you, one of the most common methods of doing so involves scanning its QR code ... if it has one. The problem with those codes, along with things like RFID and NFC tags, is that they detract from the appearance of the item. Fujitsu Laboratories, however, has developed an alternative system. It uses the light shining on the object to convey data. Read More

Breakthrough in LED construction increases efficiency by 57 percent
With LEDs being the preferred long-lasting, low-energy method for replacing less efficient forms of lighting, their uptake has dramatically increased over the past few years.

Researchers at Princeton University claim to have come up with a way to change all that by using nanotechnology to increase the output of organic LEDs by 57 percent. Read More

Artist Martyl Langsdorf, 'Doomsday Clock' designer, dies at 96
BY MITCH DUDEK Staff firstname.lastname@example.com March 31, 2013 8:02PM
1-12-2007 Photo of Martyl Langsdorf, in her studio in Schaumburg. The artist created the look of the first Doomsday Clock in 1947. She followed up her first creation of the clock with what is now the symbol of the clock with its global background look. She is a contributor to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists magazine and was awarded a plaque Dec. 3, 2005 by the Organization for her artistic vision and longtime support of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Martyl Langsdorf helped bring the threat of nuclear war into the world's consciousness by designing the "Doomsday Clock" and its unnerving minute hand, which has become a gauge of the the world's vulnerability to atomic destruction as it nears midnight — and annhilation.
Mrs. Langsdorf was drawn into the atomic dilemma by her husband, Alexander Langsdorf Jr., a nuclear physicist who helped develop atomic weapons while working on the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago. He and several colleagues formed the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a magazine that served as a platform for scientists to warn the public of the danger of nuclear weapons. Mrs. Langsdorf, an artist, became its art editor.
"At first she thought about putting the symbol for uranium on the cover," said Kennette Benedict, executive director of the magazine. "But she was really struck with the sense of urgency of these scientists who felt it wouldn't be long before the U.S. and the Soviet Union came up with more powerful weapons. One night, she was at a concert and sketched the clock on the back of a musical score."
The magazine, and its ominous minute hand, are still around today but have come to encompass other forms of apocalypse as well, such as climate change. The minute hand is currently set at five minutes to midnight. The original image showed the clock at eight minutes to midnight, Benedict said.
Mrs. Langsdorf died Tuesday from complications associated with a lung infection. She was 96.
"She was just asked to make a design for the magazine cover. We actually don't quite know whose idea it was to move the hand . . . which first moved in 1949 when the Soviets tested their bomb," Benedict said.
Her husband didn't regret his role in developing atomic weapons, said the couple's daughter, Suzanne Langsdorf.
"He felt it was critical to world peace . . . but he wanted them tested and used as a deterrent, not dropped on a city," she said.
Mrs. Langsdorf, who created art for 80 years, was bemused that the clock, a side note in her career, took on a life of its own and defined her in the eyes of many.
"She was an artist with an incredible body of work, and yet everyone knew her as the 'Clock Lady,' as she called it," Benedict said.
Mrs. Langsdorf embraced painting, printmaking, drawing, murals and stained-glass design. She was almost drawn into music as a child after studying the piano and violin.
Those thoughts were extinguished, however, when as a teenager, she sold one of her first paintings to composer George Gershwin as he was passing through St. Louis, where Mrs. Langsford grew up and later attended college at Washington University.
Mrs. Langsdorf moved to Chicago from St. Louis with her husband in 1943. In 1953, the couple moved to a historic house designed by architect Robert Paul Schweikher in Schaumburg. There, in her home studio, she created art until she recently became ill. She had an exhibit planned for May at a gallery in Chicago.
Although traditionally known as a landscape painter, Mrs. Langsdorf began to experiment with art and science concepts after designing the Doomsday Clock, and in the 1970s, she created a series of works inspired by electric circuitry and nervous system synapses.
In the 1980s, she revitalized the tradition of archaeological site drawings in her renderings of an Egyptian excavation of the Precinct of Mut at Luxor, a project undertaken with the sponsorship of the Brooklyn Museum.
Mrs. Langsdorf's husband died in 1996. Other survivors include another daughter, Alexandra Shoemaker; four grandchildren, and two great grandchildren.
A memorial was being planned.

Charlottesville Breaking News
Not immune: VNB corporate profit falls 42 percent
Virginia National Bank, long seen as one of the bulwarks of the local financial services industry, saw its net income fall 42 percent last year, according to an earnings report released Friday.
The new report, released January 27, shows that in addition to suffering a drop in profit, VNB found itself making greater allowances for loan losses– due in no small part to one customer which cost the bank $426,000 last year. As previously reported, VNB lent over $300,000 to the father of accused murderer George W. Huguely V for an ill-fated land speculation on Morgantown Road in Ivy, but that appears not to be last year's jumbo loss.
However, President Glenn Rust says he feels good about the overall results particularly because the bank itself achieved a gain– with its profit rising from $1.94 million to $2.0 million– and saw what Rust calls a "healthy" increase in average deposits of seven percent.
The total profit downturn, from $4.03 million to $2.34 million, Rust says, stemmed primarily from lower "performance fees" at VNBTrust, t...

McGuffey Friday
It's the beginning of the month again, and that means one thing for art lovers: First Fridays. From the McGuffey Art Center, always a hub of creative energy that recently welcomed 19 new artists, to the patchwork of galleries that cover the downtown area, First Fridays is a chance to see some great art and meet fellow art lovers. McGuffey's opening reception will feature the work of Kristi Glick, who has created an installation of enameled jewelry, wall panels, and prints. Her jewelry can be worn individually or in groups, inviting the wearer to join in the creative process by choosing where and how to place each pin. There will also be enamel and watercolor works by Salena Hitzeman, a collection of UVA student art work, and an exhibit called "Behind Bars," artwork by inmates from the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.

Green monster: UVA's ped-stopping fence claims a victim
It took 12 years, but an overnight impalement indicates that the so-called "Green Monster" has claimed its first injury victim. Fire Chief Charles Werner reports that rescue workers arrived at 258 Crispell Drive at 2:58am Saturday, January 28 to rescue an individual dangling upside-down on the fence erected by UVA to keep pedestrians away from train tracks.
The patient was transported to the UVA Medical Center Emergency Room, Werner said.
In the year 2000, under an agreement with Norfolk Southern Corporation, the University of Virginia erected the $125,000, 1,200-foot long metal fence between the train tracks and the back side of the Medical Center.
With few officially-permitted pedestrian crossings in that area and with train speeds typically much slower than in rural areas, the nearly quarter-mile-long in-town structure has long provoked concern that UVA was overzealously elevating insurance concerns– in the name of safety– over connectivity.
UVA Police spokesperson Melissa Fielding tells a reporter that she can recall no prior injuries on the fence.
Charlottesville Police occasionally embark on stings to ticket people who cross train tracks, with one such sting and its $106 tickets provoking ire in 2008. One of the ironies inherent in any discussion of shortcutting or trespassing over railroad tracks is that pedestrians have the...
Prelim waived: Halfaday fraud charges go to grand jury
Making his third appearance to answer election fraud charges Thursday, former City Council candidate James Halfaday waived a preliminary hearing, so the four felony charges will go to the grand jury. The 32-year-old appeared in Charlottesville General District Court January 26 with his attorney, Scott Goodman.
After coming in seventh out of seven candidates in last August's Democratic firehouse primary, odd allegations started popping up about the man who, until that point, had been best known as both the city's first gay and Native American candidate.
A lawyer contacted the Hook to say that Halfaday was not the owner of Snap Fitness gym as he'd claimed during his campaign. And residents at the Sunset Road address Halfaday used when he filed to run for Council had never heard of him. And several people listed as having contributed $499 to his campaign adamantly denied doing so. (There was even an assertion by Halfaday that he'd been injured in the summertime earthquake.)
On October 19, Halfaday was arrested for making false statements on voter registration forms, a Class 5 felony that carries up to 10 years in prison and up to a $2,500 fine. Also appearing in co...

"Lookback" ProgressPosted byon June 4, 2012 at 11:05 AM EST
Ed Note: This post is updated with a correction on HUD borrower savings as those figures have not yet been finalized.
President Obama is committed to a regulatory approach that protects public safety and welfare while also promoting economic growth and job creation. In January 2011, the President issued a historic Executive Order, setting forth new cost-saving, burden-reducing requirements for federal regulations, and requiring an ambitious government-wide "lookback" at existing regulations. In response to that requirement, over two dozen agencies identified more than 500 reforms. Agencies have already proposed or finalized more than 100 of them.
On May 10, we announced a series of final rules that will save nearly $6 billion over the next five years. Other rules, now proposed or finalized, will produce billions of dollars in additional savings, producing total savings in excess of $10 billion from just a small fraction of the reform initiatives.
Also on May10, the President institutionalized his regulatory lookback with an historic Executive Order requiring federal agencies to continue to scrutinize rules on the books to see if they really make sense. That Executive Order takes three new steps. To promote priority-setting, the Order requires agencies to identify reforms that will produce significant quantifiable savings, especially (but not only) for small business. To promote accountability, the Order requires agencies to report to the public regularly on their past efforts and their future plans -- with details and deadlines. To promote public participation, the Order directs agencies to obtain public comments to see which rules should be simplified, improved or repealed.Learn more about
Working Together to Achieve More Mission for the MoneyPosted byon May 31, 2012 at 5:20 PM EST
"People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses,
or the problems of modern society."
-Vince Lombardi
Today, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report on the Administration's first-ever set of Cross Agency Priority (CAP) Goals. This study is the first of many GAO is conducting on the Administration's implementation of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Modernization Act of 2010 and we greatly appreciate GAO's strong interest in this area, its recognition of our progress, and its recommendations. Cross Agency Priority Goals reflect the Administration's commitment to reduce duplication, fragmentation, and waste across agencies. They also reflect the Administration's decision to tap the power of goals, measurement, and frequent data-driven reviews as critical change-driving tools to deliver more value to the American people. These goals aim to tackle one of the most difficult challenges the Federal government faces: solving national problems for which multiple Federal departments and agencies share implementation responsibilities.
In some instances, reorganizing the structure of government offers the greatest promise for fixing duplication and fragmentation problems. That's why on February 16, 2012, the President sent to Congress the Consolidating and Reforming Government Act of 2012 to allow the President to put forward for fast Congressional action proposals to consolidate government and eliminate wasteful duplication. In other instances, and until Congress acts on the Administration's proposed legislation, smarter management approaches that bring together expertise, resources, and skills from across the Federal Government can advance opportunities and fix problems.Learn more about
On the Right Real Estate TrackPosted byon May 31, 2012 at 9:09 AM EST
In June 2010, President Obama set an ambitious goal for his Administration: to eliminate billions in real estate costs by consolidating or selling off excess Federal properties that are no longer needed. Today, OMB is proud to report that agencies have made significant strides toward meeting – and exceeding – the President's goal.
As of the end of the first quarter of FY 2012, agencies have already achieved over $5.6 billion in real estate savings and are on track to exceed the President's directive to save $8 billion by the end of this year – historic progress that will reduce costs and thereby make government more efficient and effective. The President's directive included two parts: $5 billion in savings through the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) process, as well as $3 billion in non-BRAC savings. We are currently on track to exceed both of these goals, having achieved $3.25 billion in BRAC savings and $2.4 billion in non-BRAC savings to date.
The Federal Government is the largest property owner in the United States. But over time, agencies accumulated more properties than the Government needs to effectively meet its mission. That's why from his first days in office, the President has made it a priority to eliminate wasteful spending on Federal real estate. At his direction, agencies have worked to reduce office space, encourage wider adoption of telework, provide alternate workspace configurations, reduce operating costs, and consolidate data centers. Through these efforts, agencies have generated millions of dollars in savings from selling or consolidating properties, on top of numerous examples of lease cancellations, improved space management, and reductions in operating costs that are driving greater returns for the taxpayer.Learn more about
Roadmap for a Digital GovernmentPosted byon May 23, 2012 at 9:35 AM EST
When the Internet revolution arrived in the 1990s, the U.S. Government embraced this new medium to interact with the American people. Today, what started as basic information pages has evolved into sophisticated transactional systems that allow us to pay taxes online, download medical records, and so much more.
Like the 1990s, we are now in the midst of another important shift in how people consume and deliver information and services. In 2011, global smartphone shipments exceeded personal computer shipments for the first time in history, and more Americans will soon access the Internet via mobile devices than desktop PCs. The rise of mobile further compounds the challenge of providing high-quality digital services in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
That's why President Obama issued a directive today to make important services accessible from your phone and charged me with developing a comprehensive strategy to build a 21st Century Digital Government that delivers better digital services to the American people.
Today marks the launch of that Digital Government Strategy (PDF / HTML5).
At its core, the strategy takes a coordinated, information- and customer-centric approach to changing how the government works and delivers services to the American people. Designing for openness from the start – making open data the default for government IT systems and embracing the use of web APIs – enables us to more easily deliver information and services through multiple channels, including mobile, and engage the public and America's entrepreneurs as partners in building a better government.Learn more about Innovations, Technology
Continuing to Crack Down on Government WastePosted byon May 11, 2012 at 11:47 AM EST
One of the Federal government's most fundamental responsibilities is to serve as a careful steward of taxpayer dollars – to make sure that every dollar is well-spent and directed toward areas of high return. That's a responsibility this Administration takes seriously. From his first days in office, President Obama has led a concerted and aggressive effort to streamline government and cut wasteful and inefficient spending wherever it exists so that we can focus our resources on serving the American people. From slowing the uncontrolled growth of Federal contracting to getting rid of excess real estate held by agencies and reining in spending on Federal employee travel, this Administration has already cut billions in inefficient spending across the Federal government.
Today, we're taking another important step forward in that effort. This afternoon, the Office of Management and Budget is issuing guidance to Federal agencies to take additional actions to increase efficiency and strengthen accountability in the areas of travel, conferences, real estate, and fleet management.
Introducing the IT Shared Services StrategyPosted byon May 2, 2012 at 4:10 PM EST
From the outset of this Administration, President Obama has recognized the unique power of technology to streamline government services, cut waste and duplication, save taxpayer dollars, and drive efficiency across the Federal government. Through the Campaign to Cut Waste and other efforts, we've shed light on Federal spending both in IT and across the government; unlocked valuable government data for use by researchers, companies, and the public; and turned back the dial on overspending in Federal IT, saving billions through optimizing infrastructure and tackling poorly performing projects. Now, we are going to promote responsible and business driven sharing across Federal IT to reduce spending further so that we can invest in needed innovative mission systems.
In support of these efforts, last October I launched the Shared-First initiative to root out waste and duplication across the Federal IT portfolio. Today, we're building on that important step by taking another. Today, I am releasing the Federal IT Shared Services Strategy, which will arm agencies with new tools to eliminate waste and duplication and update their services for the 21st century.
The new strategy was first outlined in the December 2010 25-Point Implementation Plan to Reform Federal IT Management. It covers the entire spectrum of IT shared service opportunities throughout the Federal Government and promotes the use of existing and new strategic sourcing methods where agencies can combine their buying power for similar IT needs and get lower prices and improved service leverage in the process.
Reducing Red Tape: Regulatory Reform Goes InternationalPosted byon May 1, 2012 at 10:09 AM EST
Over the past year, the Federal Government has been working to implement President Obama's directions for a 21st-century regulatory system, which he described in Executive Order 13563, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review." Executive Order 13563 requires U.S. regulators, to the extent permitted by law, to select approaches that maximize net benefits; choose the least burdensome alternative; increase public participation in the rulemaking process; design rules that are simpler and more flexible, and that provide freedom of choice; and base regulations on sound science. Executive Order 13563 also calls for an ambitious, government-wide "lookback" at existing rules, with the central goal of eliminating outdated requirements and unjustified costs.
Today, President Obama has built on Executive Order 13563 by signing a historic Executive Order on Promoting International Regulatory Cooperation. The new Executive Order will promote American exports, economic growth, and job creation by helping to eliminate unnecessary regulatory differences between the United States and other countries and by making sure that we do not create new ones.
As I discuss in an op-ed in today's Wall Street Journal, the order makes clear that in eliminating such differences, we will respect domestic law and will not compromise U.S. priorities and prerogatives. Even while insisting on those priorities and prerogatives, we can eliminate pointless red tape. Today's global economy relies on supply chains that cross national borders (sometimes more than once), and different regulatory requirements in different countries can significantly increase costs for companies doing business abroad. As the President's Jobs Council recently noted, international regulatory cooperation canreduce these costs and help American businesses access foreign markets. Such cooperation can also help U.S. regulators more effectively protect the environment and the health and safety of the American people.
World Intellectual Property DayPosted byon April 26, 2012 at 11:14 AM EST
Today is World Intellectual Property Day. Around the world, people will be celebrating the benefits and contributions of intellectual property to our societies. Intellectual property gives us art and entertainment. It drives the Internet and enables stunning advances in the fight against genetic and infectious disease. It stimulates our economy and creates well-paying jobs. It facilitates social networks and feeds the world.
President Obama believes that the American people deserve a smart approach to regulation that enhances economic competitiveness and public health. He knows that protecting intellectual property is critical to the United States. Our companies and workers create some of the most innovative products on the world market. Unfortunately, our consumers are also confronted with a myriad of dangerous and illegal counterfeit goods.
Our closest friends around the world share this belief in intellectual property protection, which is why I asked David Jacobson, the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, for the opportunity to reach out to the Canadian people on Embassy Ottawa's blog this morning. That post can be found here.
This World Intellectual Property Day, the American people and economy will enjoy the benefits of intellectual property across many industries and disciplines. These intellectual property-intensive industries and the innovators within them demand praise and deserve protection. By offering both, we can harness their economic clout and competitive advantages, validating President Obama's message that "if the playing field is level, I promise you – America will always win."
I wish you a very happy World Intellectual Property Day.

Job Training Cuts in the Republican BudgetPosted byon April 18, 2012 at 5:42 PM EST
Earlier today, President Obama visited Lorain County Community College in Elyria, Ohio to highlight how federal job training funding is helping unemployed workers get the skills they need to compete for jobs in high-demand, high-growth industries.
In communities like Elyria all across the country, federal job training programs are helping meet a critical need. As manufacturing jobs have shifted from assembly-line positions to advanced manufacturing, schools like Lorain County Community College have partnered with non-profits, business, and government to develop job training programs that help equip dislocated workers with skills that match employer needs. Many of these programs depend on federal funding through the Workforce Investment Act, which supports employment services and training programs that serve millions of workers across the country each year.
And yet just a few weeks ago, House Republicans passed a budget resolution that would cut spending for these kinds of services by over 5 percent in 2013 and 19 percent in 2014 – all while showering families making more than $250,000 per year with over $1 trillion in tax cuts. It's an approach that fails the basic test of balance, fairness, and shared responsibility, and it would be a devastating blow to struggling middle class families in communities like Elyria across the country. Check out this chart to see how your state would be affected by these cuts.

Protecting the Top, Hurting the HungryPosted byon April 18, 2012 at 10:48 AM EST
On Monday, Senate Republicans voted to block the Buffett Rule. As the President said, "The Buffett Rule is common sense. At a time when we have significant deficits to close and serious investments to make to strengthen our economy, we simply cannot afford to keep spending money on tax cuts that the wealthiest Americans don't need and didn't ask for. But it's also about basic fairness – it's just plain wrong that millions of middle-class Americans pay a higher share of their income in taxes than some millionaires and billionaires. America prospers when we're all in it together and everyone has the opportunity to succeed."
Unfortunately, this week we'll see a similar turn from common sense and fairness in another area: agriculture.
The House Agriculture Committee is marking up its fast-track budget reconciliation proposal to achieve $33 billion in savings.
According to this story, the committee's majority proposal will not reduce farm subsidies. While everybody recognizes the critical importance of a strong farm safety net, we can protect farmers while contributing to deficit reduction. That's why folks on both sides of the aisle have proposed that we end taxpayer subsidies to individuals who don't need them. The committee's fast-track bill doesn't touch these subsidies – even for individuals who make more than $1 million a year.
Instead, the committee is looking to find more than $33 billion in cuts from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—formerly known as Food Stamps—which provides support for millions of families struggling to get by.
Do Not Pay Solution Open for BusinessPosted byon April 12, 2012 at 11:32 AM EST
As Americans across the country prepare to file their taxes, the Administration today is launching a tool to help guard against wasteful and improper payments that squander taxpayer dollars. The new Do Not Pay tool will help Federal agencies avoid the types of payment errors that have plagued government for too long – including pension payments to the deceased and payments to contractors who have attempted to defraud the government.
Every year, the Federal government wastes tens of billions of dollars on payments to the wrong person, in the wrong amount, or for the wrong reason. When the President took office, the government-wide improper payment rate was on the rise, reaching an all-time high of nearly 5.5 percent in 2009. In response, he has taken swift and aggressive action to make improper payments a focus of the Administration's Campaign to Cut Waste.
As a direct result of these efforts, we have begun to see real results. Last year, we announced that the government-wide improper payment rate decreased to 4.7 percent, a sharp drop from the 2009 error rate of 5.4 percent that helped prevent $20 billion in improper payments in 2010 and 2011 combined. In addition, we are announcing today that we have already exceeded the goal the President set in 2010 to recapture $2 billion in overpayments to contractors by the end of this fiscal year. The Administration surpassed this goal nearly 6 months ahead of schedule, due in large part to hundreds of millions of dollars in recoveries from the Medicare Fee-for-Service Recovery Audit Contractor Program.
Intellectual Property and the U.S. EconomyPosted byon April 11, 2012 at 12:18 PM EST
America has always been a nation of innovators. Throughout our history, we've produced countless groundbreaking innovations, from Henry Ford's assembly line to Amazon.com's internet sales model, from Edison's light bulb to Bell Labs' transistor, from General Electric's jet engines to Google's internet tools. And to create an economy that's built to last, the President has made clear that we must continue to lead the world when it comes to innovation.
The President has also said that protecting the intellectual property underpinning that innovation is an economic imperative that his Administration takes very seriously. As he made clear in his State of the Union Address, our workers are the most productive on Earth, and if the playing field is level, America will always win.
We are a data-driven government and it's important that we understand the impact that intellectual property has on our economy. Today, I am proud to report that the U.S. Department of Commerce, working with the President's Council of Economic Advisors and the chief economists of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, Department of Labor, and other Federal agencies, is releasing an economic report identifying the full range of sectors that generate intellectual property, as well as the jobs, exports, and wage premiums those sectors support. This study is the first of its kind. Never before has the U.S. Government produced a report at this scale that details the nature and impact of intellectual property across the entire American economy. The report, Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: Industries in Focus, is available here.
The JOBS Act: Encouraging Startups, Supporting Small BusinessesPosted byon April 5, 2012 at 3:12 PM EST
Earlier this week, I was back in my home state of Iowa talking with tech entrepreneurs about the Administration's progress leveraging technology to innovate with less, improve transparency and efficiency, and better serve the American people. As fellow tech junkies, we spent plenty of time talking about Government's role in open data, application programming interfaces to Federal systems and more. But we also had a chance to talk more broadly about the vital role start-ups and small businesses play in strengthening our economy, creating jobs, and nurturing innovation.
President Obama recognizes the critical role these types of high-growth startups and innovative entrepreneurs play in creating an economy that's built to last. That's why back in the fall – and again in his State of the Union Address – the President put forward a series of specific proposals to ease regulations that prevent aspiring entrepreneurs from accessing the capital they need to grow and create jobs. Today, the President put many of those proposals to work when he signed into law the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act – a bipartisan bill that will help encourage startups and support our nation's small businesses.
As the President said at today's signing, "this bill is a potential gamechanger" for America's entrepreneurs. For the first time, Americans will be able to go online and invest in small businesses and entrepreneurs. Not only will this help small businesses and high-growth enterprises raise capital more efficiently, but it will also allow small and young firms to expand and hire faster.Learn more about Economy, Startup America, Technology
Applying Private Sector Best Practices in Information TechnologyPosted byon March 30, 2012 at 1:55 PM EST
One year ago, a group of private sector leaders sat down with Administration and agency officials to offer to help the government adopt management best practices. The group, the President's Management Advisory Board (PMAB), decided to spend the next year focusing on a variety of topics, including how the government buys information technology (IT).
And the effort has paid off. Over the past three years, the Federal Government has done much in adopting private sector practices to triage broken IT investments, reduce the IT infrastructure footprint, and innovate with less. For example, at today's PMAB meeting, the Department of the Interior showed that by modernizing IT infrastructure and aligning resources to improve customer service, they will realize $100 million in savings from 2016 to 2020, for a cumulative total of $500 million. To date, there have been $11 million in cost avoidance by updating the scope of projects and $2.2 million in redirection of funds due to IT Spending Reviews.
These agency successes are a good start, but we need to do more. We still face an unacceptable amount of duplicative and low-value IT. That is why Acting Director Jeff Zients today is signing a memorandum launching a new tool for agencies to use to assess the current maturity of their IT portfolio management process and make decisions on eliminating duplication across their organizations. This tool – which we're calling "PortfolioStat" - gives agencies tools to look into the darkest corners of the organization to find wasteful and duplicative IT investments.
Safeguarding America's Job Creating InnovationsPosted byon March 30, 2012 at 9:03 AM EST
For an economy built to last, President Obama has said that we must innovate, educate and build on our competitive strengths as a nation. Protecting innovation is fundamental to our country's competitiveness in the global economy. This is especially true at a time when job creation is among our most urgent tasks. We must stop intellectual property theft and piracy which harm our businesses and threaten American jobs.
It's been almost two years since the Administration issued the Joint Strategic Plan on Intellectual Property Enforcement which set out 33 specific actions that we committed to undertake to improve intellectual property enforcement. These important steps will help protect both U.S. rightholders and American jobs.
Today, I sent to Congress the second annual report outlining the significant progress we've made implementing the Strategy in 2011. Some of the key highlights include:
Informing Consumers through Smart DisclosurePosted byon March 30, 2012 at 7:19 AM EST
Today, the White House and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), with support from ideas42, will host a summit on Smart Disclosure – a new tool that helps provide consumers with greater access to the information they need to make informed choices.
In many contexts, the Federal government uses disclosure as a way to ensure that consumers know what they are purchasing and are able to compare alternatives. Consider nutrition facts labels, the newly designed automobile fuel economy labels, and choosemyplate.gov. Modern technologies are giving rise to a series of new possibilities for promoting informed decisions.
In September 2011, the Office of Management and Budget issued guidance to Federal agencies on Smart Disclosure. Smart disclosure refers to the timely release of complex information and data in standardized, machine readable formats in ways that enable consumers to make informed decisions.
Cuts that Gut: More Insight into the Ryan-Republican BudgetPosted byon March 28, 2012 at 9:33 AM EST
Last week, I posted about the Ryan-Republican Budget resolution and the extraordinarily harsh cuts in education, research and development, and basic government services that it would require.
To recap, in2013, it would cut on its face annual non-defense funding by 5 percent. Starting in 2014, the GOP resolution would cut this funding by 19 percent in nominal terms, and even more deeply when inflation is considered. Abandoning the bipartisan agreement signed by the President in August, it would cut more than $1 trillion in non-defense spending over the next decade on topof what was agreed to. These cuts are necessary since the GOP does not ask all Americans to do their share to get our fiscal house in order and create an economy that is built to last. Instead, the GOP plan gives those making over $1 million per year an average tax cut of at least $150,000 and preserves tax breaks for oil and gas companies and hedge fund managers.
As others have noted, these cuts would lead to unprecedented cuts in government services that would hurt the middle class and those trying to get there. Now, we've learned that these cuts in discretionary spending are even more extreme than we originally thought.
Reorganizing Government for the 21st CenturyPosted byon March 28, 2012 at 6:53 AM EST
With all the disagreement and discord that tends to dominate Washington, it's easy to lose sight of areas where Democrats and Republicans can make common cause. One important example: the need to update and reorganize the Federal government for the 21st century.
Today, I co-authored an op-ed on this topic with former Republican Governor of Michigan and current president of the Business Roundtable, John Engler. Governor Engler and I don't agree on everything, but we both recognize that we're competing in a 21st century economy with a 20th century government – a government that often suffers from overlapping and duplicative responsibilities that waste taxpayer dollars and needlessly complicate government.
In our op-ed, we echo President Obama's call for Congress to reinstate the authority that would allow him to submit to Congress proposals to streamline and reorganize the Federal government. Importantly, any such proposal would have to either reduce the size of government or cut costs and help reach our deficit reduction goals.
Every CEO has the flexibility to restructure his or her company to keep pace with the competition and meet changing customer demands. Likewise, many Governors have reorganization authority, which has allowed them to achieve remarkable efficiencies and cost savings at the state level.
As we argue in today's piece, granting this same authority to the President at the Federal level is not a partisan cause – it's just common sense and good management.
Check out the full piece here.

Cutting Red Tape to Accelerate Infrastructure ProjectsPosted byon March 22, 2012 at 4:37 PM EST
Today in Cushing, OK, President Obama signed an Executive Order that requires agencies to make faster permitting and review decisions for vital infrastructure projects while protecting the health and vitality of our communities and the environment – fulfilling a commitment he made in his State of the Union address to cut the red tape that can slow down construction, and following up on a set of recommendations made by his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. As part of this effort to develop American infrastructure, the President also issued a Memorandum directing federal agencies to expedite the Cushing Pipeline and other pipelines that relieve bottlenecks as a top priority of the new EO's permitting process. The need for pipeline infrastructure is urgent because rising American oil production is outpacing the capacity of pipelines to deliver oil to refineries.
Big infrastructure projects relating to roads and surface transportation, aviation, ports and waterways, water management, renewable energy generation, electricity transmission, broadband, and pipelines can be complex – often involving multiple Federal, State, local, and Tribal government agencies as well as the private sector companies leading the projects. As you might imagine, multiple permits and reviews from multiple agencies across multiple jurisdictions with no single organization in charge can create a situation that's ripe for confusion, duplication, and delay – particularly when many of these permitting and review processes are still done with paper and pen.
The Ryan-Republican Budget: The Consequences of ImbalancePosted byon March 21, 2012 at 12:17 PM EST
Ed note: This post is updated with a correction on the number of workplace inspections to protect worker safety.
Yesterday, House Republicans released their budget resolution for FY 2013. While many of the proposals require more analysis, one thing is absolutely clear: this budget does not ask all Americans to do their share to get our fiscal house in order and create an economy that is built to last. Instead, the GOP plan gives those making over $1 million per year an average tax cut of at least $150,000 and preserves tax breaks for oil and gas companies and hedge fund managers. These tax breaks are then paid for by ending Medicare as we know it and implementing deep cuts in what we need to grow our economy and create jobs in years to come.
Others will go into deep detail on the tax and health proposals in the budget resolution. I want to focus on funding known as "nondefense discretionary spending." It deserves a better name. This is annual funding that pays for many of the investments most critical to expanding economic growth and opportunity, including education, research and development, and clean energy.
With his strong focus on cutting waste and unneeded spending, the President has already signed into law several rounds of cuts that will bring non-security spending to its lowest level as a share of the economy since Dwight Eisenhower was President. Put another way, we are cutting this category of spending as a share of economy by 50 percent from 2010 to 2022.
But when it comes to annual, non-defense spending, the House Budget Resolution is not about cutting fat. It is cutting deep into the muscle that America needs to compete and win in the 21st century.Learn more about Economy, Debt Debate, Fiscal Responsibility

Council is now considering every properly made submission and is revising the draft planning scheme based on this feedback. After the draft planning scheme is finalised, it will be sent to the Queensland Government for final state approval. Once the state government has approved the planning scheme, Council will adopt the final plan and set a date for commencement.
Public consultation summary
Public consultation took place for 60 business days, from 3 February until 30 April 2014. During this time, the planning team spoke to around 2,600 residents about the draft planning scheme at meetings, on the phone and at face-to-face events across the city, including:
- 'Talk to a planner' events, held at the Logan Hyperdome, the Beenleigh Events Centre, and the Jimboomba Community Centre
- Staffed kiosks at 13 different shopping centres around the City, and
- Council Customer Service Centres.
There were over 26,000 visits to the draft planning scheme webpage, 12,658 visits to the online interactive mapping tool and almost 75,000 Facebook views during the consultation period. There were also 719 submissions received during the consultation period.

As Aledo coach Tim Buchanan tells it, when Ernie McQuade found out his family was moving to the Fort Worth area this year, he wasn't certain he was going to be in the family caravan from Georgia to Texas.After all, McQuade was entering his senior season as the starting center at North Cobb, Ga. High School and wasn't in the mood to start all over this late in his career. Saturday, when McQuade leads his Bearcats teammates onto the AT&T Stadium field for the Class 4A state title game, he'll do so as a 2013 Associated Press all-state selection. McQuade joins Birdville's Xavier Turner as first-team selections to The Associated Press Sports Editors 2013 Class 4A All-State team. Aledo also landed seven other players on the second team or the honorable mention list."He had to sacrifice a lot of things to make that move," Buchanan said. "He didn't get the jersey number he's had for his high school career, he got moved to left tackle, and there were some tough decisions he had to make."For Aledo, adding McQuade gave the Bearcats a new dynamic. It allowed Cory Stitle to go from the offensive line to defensive end. Stitle made that adjustment with ease, earning a spot on the AP second team.For Buchanan, he said he knew what kind of player McQuade could be almost right from the start. "He's always smiling and always having a good time," Buchanan said. "I knew he had the chance to really be a special player when, in one of the first couple of games, he made a secondary block on a busted play. It just showed how smart of a football player he was."As a student, McQuade scored 1,900 on the SAT and has a 100 grade average.Turner's inclusion wasn't a surprise to Birdville coach Jim Skinner. The senior rushed for 2,113 yards and 41 touchdowns this season as the Hawks reached the Class 4A Region I final. "There was one play this season where Saginaw swarmed almost every defensive player to the ball and rather than go down for a 5-yard carry, Xavier carried the pile about 10 more yards," Skinner said. "He's a leader and not just on the football field. He's a leader within the school and is a young man with great character." Fort Worth Dunbar defensive back Stepfawn Hughes leads three other area players on the second team. "When you put in the kind of hard work he has, it's something that he really deserves," Dunbar coach Todd Lawson said. "He's really a throwback kind of player, a real football player. Most games we really only played 28 kids, and if we needed him to play safety or corner or on the kickoff team, he was the kind of player that went down and made plays."Ten other area players made honorable mention.

Best of Reno 2007 votes
- SteveTimko Jul 12, 2007 08:56 AM
Best Sandwich: Port of Subs
Best Mexican restaurant: Micasa Too
Best Italian restaurant: Olive Garden
Best new restaurant:
1. B.J.'s Brewery
2. Johnny Carino's Italian Grill
All solid arguments that democracy sucks.
For those out of the area, Micasa Too is as authentic of a Mexican restaurant as Wienerschnitzel is authentic German food. Killer margaritas, though.
I'm right with you on those.
Another one I'd disagree with is
BEST THAI RESTAURANT: Bangkok Cuisine
Only been once, but I found it pretty bland and unsatisfying. Very overrated IMHO.
One you can't argue with too much with
BEST VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT: Pho 777
Haven't been to the new location, but I assume it's the same food as before. I personally prefer Saigon Pearl (which a lot of people seem to be scared of because it's in the El Cortez Hotel)--good quality food and less crowded; but I've never been disappointed by Pho 777, so I have to give it to "the people" on that one.
I noticed that Sezmu came in at #3 for best new restaurant. It's like Albert Einstein coming in third in a poll for "most intelligent" behind Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
re: clarence6ybr
I love Bangkok Cuisine. I think it's the best Thai restaurant in town, although it's slightly Americanized.
Sezmu and Ciao Reno should be 1 and 2 for best new restaurant.
re: SteveTimko
I also like Bangkok Cuisine. I eat there at least once a month.
BJ's Brewery for best new restaurant?? give me a break......
re: SteveTimko
Have you tried Thai Royal House? I like them a lot better than Bangkok (although as I mentioned I've only tried Bangkok once). For the huge number of Thai places we have in Reno per capita, I don't think we have a truly outstanding one, though.
re: clarence6ybr
For the record, my favorite Thai is Thai Chile on Virgina. I prefer them over Bangkok, as well.
re: nancyhudson
I like Thai Chile as well. Just about all the Thai restaurants in Reno and Sparks are pretty good. A much better success rate than the Chinese restaurants.
re: SteveTimko
Hey Steve, if you had to pick between Jazmine and Peony for Chinese food, which would it be? What do you think Johnathan thinks? I like Jazmine so far, but have not tried Peony. Wasn't there a chowdown recently?
re: MofCarson
Just noticed this post. I would say Peony, definitely.
Hmm...I was looking at the list "best restaurants" in the original posting and--for a minute there--I thought we were talking about Fresno!
(Wasn't the Olive Garden in Fresno voted as the best Italian restaurant? Or am I thinking of Denny's being voted the best breakfast?)
re: nancyhudson
Wow. Even though it disappoints me to know that Sezmu turned in third place for best new restaurant, when the first place went to a place that still serves its Atlantic salmon and New York steak " blackened or flame broiled", I try to look on the bright side- The real chowhounds will still be able to get a reservation on Friday & Saturday nights! If Sezmu received the 1st place it deserves, a bunch of people, used to going to a brew house & chain Italian restaurant, would be filling the place up every weekend for the next month or so. Can you imagine how frustrating it would be for the talented chef & crew from Sezmu to get numerous special request to "Blacken the salmon, with sauce on the side", then getting said dish returned because "the customers claimed that the fish is undercooked" when it was sent out a perfect medium? Or families showing up Saturday nights, taking up 6 top tables, with two parents & 4 kids, not only not ordering appetizers, salads or wine, but asking "Can our kids just get spaghetti with marinara and some garlic bread?" and "How come you guys don't have video games for the children? At least give them place settings with puzzles or something to keep them busy!" Those who seek a good meal will realize right away that this says more about the taste of the average diner in Reno then it does about the qualities of the few good restaurants in Reno. In what other city would Olive Garden win best Italian, or Round Table best pizza? At least Peg's Glorified Ham & Eggs didn't get beat by Denny's for best breakfast. I don't think they take reservations for breakfast, so I should still be able to pop in there anytime I want for a great breakfast.
Next time I try to make, and still receive, reservations at Sezmu on a Saturday night, I plan on buying the kitchen a round of drinks to celebrate a fine job on remaining a hidden gem. I don't think you can change the entire dining scene with one (or two, counting LuLou's), great restaurants, but if you please those with discriminating tastes, and they tell their friends, you can still remain profitable, pleasurable, and accessible, which for us is a good thing.
re: nancyhudson
It's how the people vote, Nancy. This ain't Florida.
re: SteveTimko
But unfortunately, I didn't vote either. And I read the paper every day....but don't remember seeing the ballot.
Speaking of new restaurants, ate tonight at the new Sushi Pier II (It was son's birthday, and he wanted sushi). The sushi tastes the same (good but not great) but the atmosphere is much improved: very spacious with lots of bar space. We enjoyed it. (Its in the same strip mall as India Garden, on the north side, right across the street from Bangkok Cuisine). Also, noted that the Chinese restaurant that was there and had dim sum for awhile is gone....its going to be a branch of one of the local Italian places....I forget which one, sorry....
My favorites are somewhat different from the "Most Popular", er, "Best of" list:
Top of the Line: White Orchid in the Peppermill
Thai: Thai Chili on Virginia, though Bangkok is also good
Mexican: Rosita's Cocina and Lupita's
Italian: Luciano's or La Vecchia
Vietnamese: Depends on what I'm ordering; Pho 777, Golden Flower and Asian Noodle House (near Costco) are all good
Greek: Nick's Greek Deli (a hole-in-the-wall - try the Royal Plate)
Chinese: Fortune Palace (Sparks), Palais de Jade, Jazmine
Indian: India Kabab and Curry
Steak: Peppermill Steak House or Harrah's Steak House
Neighborhood lunch: Stonehouse (French onion soup, slider, and fries)
Persian: Parisa's Cuisine (huge Saturday Persian buffet)
French: Beaujolais Bistro
Sinful Burger with grease: Nugget Diner's "AwfulAwful"
Pizza: Blue Moon
Breakfast: Legends
re: bill2975
Where is Fortune Palace? Never heard of it...
Is Nick's the place just off Virginia near Cheney? If so, hubby likes it a lot too. I have to agree with a number of your other favorites: India Kabab and Curry (well, my house is better, but technically that's not a restaurant :-), Lupita's, and Beaujolais Bistro are all favorites of mine.....
re: janetofreno
Fortune Palace is at 1282 Disc Drive, Sparks - 626-9888 - www.fortune-palace.com, off Vista, in Sparks. We've had three very good meals there. It's not Hunans' Home in San Francisco, but what is?
Nick's is just off Virginia on Moran. Across the street from "Wild Orchid".
Much better than the one time we tried the Blue Plate on Greek night, but that was a few years ago, so maybe that's improved.
Speaking of Greek, how about a chowhound outing to the Greek Festival on Lakeside next month? Anyone ever been?
re: bill2975
What are you ordering at Fortune Palace? I was there as recently as two Fridays ago and I still haven't found much I like. It's not bad. Just nothing distinctive.
re: SteveTimko
It's been about six weeks (wrong side of town for us), but I remember having hot and sour soup, the house special fried rice, and some braised eggplant. We also had a shrimp dish, kung pao style, I think, and they were perfectly cooked. Again, it's not SF Chinatown, but it was good.
Anyplace here do scallion cakes (green onion pie)?
re: bill2975
Yes, Nick's is the same one my husband really likes.
Is Fortune Palace the one in the shopping center across the street from Reed High School, that used to be called something else?
Every year DH says he wants to go to the Greek Festival, and every year we're on vacation that week...maybe this is the year to go.......
re: janetofreno
No, Fortune Palace is in a strip mall west of Scolari's on Disc Drive. Fortune Palace is closer to Sparks Boulevard than to Vista Boulevard. It's near the restaurant that used to be the RoadHouse Grille that was operated by the people who own Rapscallions. Now it's something different.
re: bill2975
Splurged on dinner tonight at the White Orchid in the Peppermill Casino with two other couples for a special occasion. As usual, a wonderful meal, though not cheap.
I had a tomato and onion salad, followed by a peppercorn-crusted New York steak that was superb. Spouse had a nice salad followed by prawns stuffed with crabmeat and a glass of wine. Later we shared a chocolate dessert.
The food, the service, and the ambience were superb, as has been the case each time we have been here - all with Entertainment card, which takes $30 off the total bill. Total for us tonight, with side salads, entrees, glass of wine, and dessert, was an even $100, tax and tip included after deducting the Entertainment card discount.
All in all, an extremely pleasant evening with four friends and great food. I've spent more for a show at John Ascuaga's Nugget, and enjoyed it far less.
Though we only do this once a year, it's been great for special occasions. I'd also suggest the Peppermill steakhouse, which also takes the Entertainment card, and has had excellent steaks and fish whenever we've visited.
re: bill2975
you were able to get seperate checks for each couple? $100 not too bad inc. wine and dessert. I have the discount card too. I have yet to go. Has anybody else gone, or have thoughts?
re: MofCarson
Separate checks were no problem at all, and because there were six of us we were seated in a private room.
All in all, a very pleasant evening in good company, with very good food, exceptional service, and a quiet ambience conducive to conversation.
Anyone have any suggestions for other restaurants where you can actually carry on a conversation without the music(?) blasting you out?
re: RevrendAndy
If only Costco offered wine with it's small plates.
Thanks to this board, I have been going to Taste of India, so I was pleased to see their #1 ranking. ITA that the Italian rankings were just so wrong, as well as the Mexican. Even the national chains were not the best of the best, although I admit to the fact that I have never eaten at an Outback. I do like Changs, but don't consider it a Chinese retaurant. But Olive Garden? (shudder) Carinos was disappointing, we did like Cortina (also at the Summit).
There are still so many places that we have not been to in Reno, once we find a few that we like we tend to go back there, like Rosita's for lunch or dinner, or Legends for breakfast as Bill listed. For comfort foods, we like Austins.
Can I ask this learned group, where is the best place for sandwiches? Never been to Port of Subs. Any recommendations for bakeries?
re: nevada cat
Munchies on Lakeside, south of McCarran has good, reasonably priced sandwiches. I would also recommend Paisan's, now in two locations - one on Longley, one next to the Nevada Art Museum. Deli Towne in the Shell station on Lakeside, near Moana, has very good sandwiches, though not as inexpensive as Munchies. Blue Bounty will also make sandwiches, though I haven't tried them.
I've had Butcher Boy 's sandwiches, but don't care for the really, really thick bread they use.
re: nevada cat
For your good ole sub, my favorite is the shop inside the gas station on the corner of Moana and Lakeside - Deli Towne - I think it made the list. Great dutch crunch, too!
re: nancyhudson
Best sandwich place I know of is Rose's on Center Street a block or two south of Liberty Street. It's in a converted house. They name the sandwiches after artists. Although the Homer is a peanut butter sandwich. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be the artist or the cartoon character.
They also have a killer homemade salad dressing for the salads. The sandwiches are big. Not quite New York deli style, but pretty big.
I've been meaning to write them up on Chowhound, but I keep forgetting.
re: SteveTimko
I like Rose's, too. They're a sit-down, dine in type of place, tho - a lot of the sandwiches are served warm. The salad dressing IS awesome. Deli Towne is your typical sub shop, they have seating, too, but it's also the place I'll grab sandwiches before heading to a game or the lake.
re: nancyhudson
It is fun to follow this discussion. I must add that I like India Garden more than India Kabob. And my favorite fine restaurant is 4th Street Bistro. I don't think that there are any good sandwiches in this town! To me, Roses is good but a bit fussy.
Olive Garden is "Italian"? What an insult to the Italians who make fabulous food with four or five simple and incredibly fresh ingredients.
"Chain food" is not Italian. Get a clue, Reno.
Can we say that "Olive Garden" is as authentic of an Italian restaurant as Micaso Too is authentic Mexican?
Did I mention "barf"? And "shudder"?
Ok, RGJ didn't break the chinese food into seperate foods, Soooo... I ask here. Where would I find the best roast duck around Reno- Carson -Tahoe? Pacifica seafood buffet at Harvey's South Lake Tahoe was great, but alsa no more, its closed for good. They had really good roast duck and all you can eat too...that's my fantasy come true..well except for all you an eat rack of lamb!
re: MofCarson
Oh Oh. Pick me! Pick me! I know.
Reno Asian Supermarket, 803 W 5th St Reno, just off Keystone Avenue.
They'll even cut it for you. $11.50. They usually have them in stock.
Very good duck. Try one. You'll see.
re: SteveTimko
I think I have been there before, the place thats an old Safeway cut in half? Are the ducks cooked there and hanging like in the Bay Area? I'll look again...
re: MofCarson
I don't think it was a Safeway. It was some other store, yes, and the other half is an auto parts store.
The duck isn't hanging up. It's in the back.
Peony has a good roast duck, if you're looking for it in a restaurant. I actually thought the Peking duck was better.
re: SteveTimko
Peony was next on my list to try. Just went to Jazmine Sat. The halibut cheeks special was killer, except I told the chef not to do it the way it was normally being served that night (sweet and sour sauce over baby bok choy), that sounded really weird, told him to steam then chinese style. Should of taken a pic to post.... Which place do you like better?
re: MofCarson
Peony. Jazmine seems average. Maybe I haven't been ordering the right dishes.
re: SteveTimko
Look forward to Peony this week....guess I better get off this board and get back to work before the boss gets back....
re: MofCarson
Doesn't look like anyone's mentioned Chinese Duck House yet. Had very good roast duck there a few weeks ago, but the other dishes we had were nothing special. I haven't tried Reno Asian Supermarkets, so I can't offer a comparison, but I'll have to try that soon, as it's quite near home.
re: RevrendAndy
No clue. I've never even heard of it.
re: SteveTimko
Steve, next time you're there, ask for it. They may not carry it but maybe it can be ordered. I've never seen it in Reno but have purchased it at an Asian market in Sacramento. I used to eat it often in Chicago. The chicken is baked in a salt crust, chopped up like a roast duck, and is incredibly moist and flavorful.
re: RevrendAndy
I called and asked today. No salt baked chicken, they said.
re: SteveTimko
I live in SF and the only salt-baked chicken (and it isn't really--like many names lost in translation) I've ever had was at Hakka restaurants.
Having given this poll some thought, it seems to me that the poll should be renamed from the "Best of " to the "most Popular". It stands to reason that a chain, maybe with multiple outlets or a very high volume place will get more votes then a mom and pop that may actually be a "better" place in terms of food and service. Maybe it goes to show the culinary awareness of our general population. I doubt that in San Francisco the chain places would as well.....Olive garden? I've never even been to one in my life!
re: MofCarson
How can someone actually have an opinion on a place yet have never been to one in their life?
Sure, it is very disappointing seeing chain Restaurants find their way onto a "Best of" list, but the derision that is being sent into this thread is a bit extreme.
The one glaring omission from this thread AND from the Best of List is the Dynasty China Bistro. Very good and affordable Chinese Food.

Since her fairly instantaneous entrée into the fashion world, the voice-of-our-generation, aka Girls star Lena Dunham, has been making stylish friends in high places. Case in point: that custom made Prada gown at last month's Emmy Awards. And the FROW appearance alongside Michelle Dockery at Miu Miu's show in Paris. And dinner the night before with Hamish Bowles, Giambattista Valli, Miroslava Duma and Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis. And her Interview mag cover.
Lena's front row companions at Miu Miu S/S'14 L-R: Rashida Jones, Gabrielle Union, Michelle Dockery, Imogen Poots, Dianna Agron and Lupita Nyong'o [Getty]
She's an anti-fashion refresher the industry can't resist, but we couldn't help noticing that in the process Miss Dunham is in not only channelling herself – or Twiggy who she once impersonated in Entertainment Weekly - but a young and angelic-looking Liza Minnelli.
Upon spying the combination of green Cabaret-ready eye makeup and a choppy pixie crop at the aforementioned Emmys, Liza instantly came to mind. Mais non, we thought. Fiercely individual Lena D is seeking style counsel from another? Further investigations into her instagram account and we found THIS:
@LenaDunham: Liza [Instagram]
Dun dun DUUUUN….. See? The Dunham has indeed found some fashion companionship in one of Hollywood's most talented performers of all time. The more you look, the more you'll see the similarities – those big, slightly fearful eyes, neat mouth and pointed chin? Doppelgänger alert. And we admire her choice of inspo: no obvious Jane Birkins or Brigitte Bardots for this lady.
Face off! Liza vs. Lena [Rex]
Although Lena has not yet gone the whole hog on the wardrobe front, with fur stoles, turbans and evening gowns for day, could Lena soon be suspender-clad and performing a Fosse routine on a chair soon? Or start off the first of four high profile marriages? Both of those options sound like potential script lines for series three...
[Instagram, Rex]
What do YOU think of Lena's Liza-look?
