A Guided Tour of Ethereal
For more information on Ethereal, start with www.ethereal.com. This page includes links to the Ethereal manual, downloads and mailing lists.
To understand better what Ethereal is showing you, you need the appropriate documentation on the network protocol. Those protocols, codified by the Internet Engineering Task Force, are available at www.rfc-editor.org.
rsync is an efficient network file transfer application originally developed by Andrew Tridgell (of Samba fame). See rsync.samba.org.
zcip is a tool for automatic assignment (zeroconf) of IPv4 addresses, without needing a DHCP server. See zeroconf.sourceforge.net.
Service Location Protocol is a way for clients to find servers in a network-efficient way. See www.srvloc.org for more details on the protocol, or refer to RFC 2608, RFC 2609, RFC 2610 and RFC 2614, available from www.rfc-editor.org. A free implementation, mainly developed by Matt Peterson, is available at www.openslp.org.
The capturing capabilities of Ethereal depend on libpcap, developed by the TCPDUMP Group. You need libpcap to build Ethereal, although most distributions ship with libpcap packages. See www.tcpdump.org.
The Windows version of libpcap is WinPcap. See winpcap.polito.it for more information and to download the installer package.
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a server-based e-mail protocol, in many ways superior to the Post Office Protocol (POP) that is widely used. For more details, get RFC 2060 from www.rfc-editor.org.
distcc is a distributed compilation application developed by Martin Pool that uses various network machines to participate in building C code. See distcc.samba.org.

application would
That application would be the ethereal GUI.
This way:
-no need for X on router
-no need to install ethereal on client
-no need to transmit all the packets over the wire, minimal network impact (packet processing would be server-side)
Re: A Guided Tour of Ethereal
Regarding the ability to capture packets remotely:
While it's true that Ethereal cannot do this dynamically, i.e.; with an agent on the remote end, Ethereal can read packet captures from command line tools such as tcpdump and snoop.
I use both of these tools to capture packets from Firewalls, Routers, servers, etc. I also use a beat-up Pentium-90 laptop as a network monitor that I can leave at a customer site. Once the data is collected I can analyse it with Ethereal. Ethereal will also read packet captures from commercial tools such as NAI's Sniffer tools.
Ethereal is a tool that just keeps getting a little better each year. I've used it to solve a variety of problems, but I've also used it to teach networking protocols. It's the best tool I know of to show students exactly how protocols are encapsulated in each other and to demonstrate exactly how data gets across the network.
On a slightly different note, it's interesting that I'm posting this comment on January 10th 2004, but the article claims to have been posted on Feburary 1st, 2004.
Thanks for the Article,
Brad Silva
I use SSH + tethereal from the command line to do remote captures
Sure that's what i do but it'
Sure that's what i do but it's so much nicer to see live rolling capture in the ethereal GUI.
Re: A Guided Tour of Ethereal
I think the date reflects the publishing date for the magazine, not for the article.
I agree with the remote capture comments, and some work on remote capture has been done, but when you are working with the Ethereal GUI, it would sometimes be nice to do "now show me what that remote machine is seeing, in real time". That needs more work.
Brad Hards
Re: A Guided Tour of Ethereal
Isn't that was remote (secure) X display is for? Which is tremendously less overhead, potentially, than sending the entire packet contents across the wire to the "local" monitoring app?
Well ideally you would naviga
Well ideally you would navigate to a webpage that would contain a java application.
That application would be the ethereal GUI.
This way:
-no need for X on router
-no need to install ethereal on client
-no need to transmit all the packets over the wire, minimal network impact (packet processing would be server-side)
Negative aspects:
-More CPU usage on router
-We need is someone to implement this!
An X display on a router is a
An X display on a router is a waste of resources, especially since you'll probably end up doing all your work in shell windows inside X!
Re: A Guided Tour of Ethereal
Actually, the RMON (and RMON2) protocol is substantially thinner than remote X. Ethereal just needs an RMON/RMON2 interface.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Used garlic naan from T.J.'s. So easy & yummy. My husband (who can barely microwave food) made these for him and our 2 year old while I went to the movies the other night. They were a hit.
Was this your recipe in Parents? Can't remember when that was — but I have been addicted to it ever since!!! Never had Naan before, but this (my) favorite — the kids ate it for the first time last night (they are super picky lately….finally willing to try the Naan, but still won't touch anything green or tomato-y) ……it so good with the pesto!!
Mmmm, I love pesto on my pizza!!
This looks awesome! They also have Naan bread at my local Kroger and Costco. Can't wait to make this
I do this all the time with homemade marinara and either pita bread or tortillas… so everyone has their own personal pizza! Will have to try naan.
whats Naan bread?

The 2010 Japanese romance Ghost is one of those unusual films.
It's not often that the Japanese remake a two-decade-old Hollywood movie.
But since the Hollywood film Ghost was one of the biggest hits of the 1990s and given the enduring resonance of young romance thwarted, perhaps the remake was justified.
Except in one crucial respect, the Japanese film Ghost hews closely to the English original.
In the Japanese version, it's the girl who dies and ends up as a ghost protecting her lover from the bad elements that are set out to kill him.
The roles are reversed in the Hollywood original starring the late Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg (Whoopi won the Best Supporting Actress for her role as the psychic).

Budget Briefs
President Signs FY 2015 Omnibus, Budget Almost CompleteBudget Brief 14-05
December 18, 2014
On December 16, 2014, the president signed the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (H.R. 83), completing the budget process for fiscal year (FY) 2015 for most federal departments. The omnibus includes all appropriations bills, except the one for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). That department is covered by a short-term continuing resolution (CR) that expires February 27, 2015. The funding levels in the 11 appropriations bills are in effect for the entire fiscal year and replace the annualized funding levels set in the previous CR. In addition, the omnibus provides emergency funding for responding to the Ebola crisis, and extends Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Internet tax moratorium through FY 2015.
This Budget Brief describes the funding and policy provisions in the omnibus relevant to states. Table 1 includes FY 2015 funding levels for major grant programs. Compared to FY 2014, states will see a 0.2% increase in these major discretionary programs. Mandatory programs are estimated to increase 9.3%, largely driven by projected growth in Medicaid. A few mandatory programs listed on the table are subject to FY 2015 sequestration of nonexempt mandatory programs.
Overall, the omnibus includes $1.013 trillion in discretionary funding, roughly equal to the FY 2015 discretionary spending cap specified in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (BBA; P.L. 113-67). The table on the next page compares FY 2015 funding levels provided to each appropriations subcommittee—known as 302(b) allocations—to prior years.
President Signs Short-Term CR for FY 2015Budget Brief 14-04
September 23, 2014
On September 19, 2014, the president signed a Continuing Resolution (CR, H.J. Res. 124) for fiscal year (FY) 2015 that keeps the federal government running until December 11, 2014. Discretionary spending levels in the CR are set at an annualized level of $1.012 trillion. This equals the FY 2014 discretionary spending level specified in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (BBA; P.L. 113-67), and is -$1.392 billion less than the BBA allows for FY 2015. Within the total, nondefense discretionary spending in the CR exceeds the FY 2015 cap set in the BBA by about $2 billion; lower defense discretionary spending more than offsets that amount, as shown below. To achieve the FY 2014 BBA spending level while providing new funding for targeted programs, the CR applies a -0.0554% across-the-board (ATB) rescission to most discretionary programs.
In addition to providing funding for current programs, the CR includes certain program flexibilities, as well as a few policy provisions. For example, it provides funds for responding to the Ebola crisis, allocates additional funds for the Commodity Assistance Program, and extends Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the Export-Import Bank, and the Internet Tax Freedom Act. These provisions and others are described more fully in this brief.
FY 2015 Appropriations: House Action Continues, Senate Progress StalledBudget Brief 14-03
July 11, 2014
The fiscal year (FY) 2015 appropriations process was off to an encouraging start when both the House and Senate announced a few months ago that they would abide by the FY 2015 discretionary spending caps included in the Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA, P.L. 113-67). Since that time, there has been movement on several FY 2015 spending bills as shown on the table below. Six bills have passed the House, and most have been marked up by the House Appropriations Committee, with the exceptions of Interior-Environment and Labor-Health and Human Services (HHS)-Education. The Senate Appropriations Committee has approved seven bills. However, progress stalled when the full Senate was unable to move its first three bills (Agriculture, Commerce-Justice-Science, and Transportation-Housing and Urban Development [HUD]) as part of a minibus spending package because of disagreement over the amendment process.
This Budget Brief describes the funding and policy provisions included in appropriations bills relevant to states. Table 1 provides recommended funding levels for major grant programs based on the latest House and Senate actions. Legislative text is not available for Senate bills that have been approved only at the subcommittee level.
President's FY 2015 Budget: A Recycling ProgramBudget Brief 14-02
March 13, 2014
On March 4, 2014, the president released portions of his fiscal year (FY) 2015 budget proposal, about one month after the statutory deadline; remaining documents were released on March 10. The president's budget retains the FY 2015 discretionary spending caps included in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (BBA), but it also includes a separate proposal that would increase FY 2015 spending by $56 billion. Importantly, the president's budget proposes to eliminate sequestration of mandatory programs that is part of the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA). Such sequestration would reduce affected programs by -7.3% in FY 2015.
The budget recycles themes and specific requests from earlier budget submissions, including proposals to consolidate grant programs, replace formula grant programs—or a portion thereof—with competitive grants, and implement new competitive grant programs. It also proposes to increase the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour and index it to inflation.
Overall, the FY 2015 budget would provide a 6.7% funding increase for the major discretionary programs reported by FFIS on Table 1. The mandatory programs are estimated to increase 9.1% in FY 2015. Combined funding for discretionary plus mandatory grant programs would increase 8.4% under the budget.
Significant FY 2015 budget proposals are described in the following sections.
Omnibus Bill Completes FY 2014 BudgetBudget Brief 14-01
January 24, 2014
On January 17, 2014, the president signed the fiscal year (FY) 2014 omnibus appropriations spending package (H.R. 3547), completing the budget process for FY 2014. The omnibus includes all 12 appropriations bills and sets overall discretionary spending at $1.012 trillion. The funding levels in the bill are in effect for the entire fiscal year and replace the annualized funding levels set in the previous continuing resolution (CR). Moreover, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) scored the legislation as exactly matching the defense and nondefense discretionary caps set by the Bipartisan Budget Act (H.J.Res. 59) in December 2013.
This Budget Brief describes the funding and policy provisions in the omnibus relevant to states. Table 1 includes FY 2014 funding levels for major grant programs. Compared to FY 2013, states will see a 4.5% increase in these major discretionary programs. Mandatory programs are estimated to increase 11.5%, largely driven by projected growth in Medicaid. A few mandatory programs listed on the table are subject to FY 2014 sequestration of nonexempt mandatory programs, as explained below.
FAQs: The Bipartisan Budget ActBudget Brief 13-19
December 18, 2013
Two-Year Budget Agreement Reached, Sequester Relief ProvidedBudget Brief 13-18
December 13, 2013
House and Senate budget negotiators have reached a two-year budget agreement to set overall discretionary spending levels for fiscal year (FY) 2014 and FY 2015. Establishing overall funding levels will enable appropriators to begin work on a final FY 2014 appropriations package. The current Continuing Resolution (CR) expires on January 15, 2014. Moreover, the agreement puts Congress on track for meeting FY 2015 budget deadlines since the breakdown in recent years has been a result of major differences in overall spending levels.
Specifically, the budget deal, known as the Bipartisan Budget Act (H.J.Res.59), would increase the post-sequestration Budget Control Act (BCA) caps by $44.8 billion in FY 2014 and $18.7 billion in FY 2015, with the increase in funding split equally between defense and nondefense. The agreement maintains sequestration of nonexempt mandatory programs and, in fact, extends it for an additional two years, through FY 2023. It includes a variety of other spending offsets ranging from fee increases to program changes. Offsets that affect states include: changes to the collection of unemployment insurance overpayments, strengthening Medicaid third-party liability, new requirements for reporting of prisoner data, and an extension of state administrative cost sharing to help defray the federal government's cost of managing mineral leases.
The Bipartisan Budget Act was approved by the House yesterday and now heads to the Senate for approval. The House approved an amendment to the agreement to provide a short-term extension of a number of expired/expiring health programs, delay the Medicaid Disproportionate Share (DSH) reductions included in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for two years, and prevent the scheduled 23.7% reduction in the Medicare reimbursement rate for physicians set to occur on January 1, 2014.
CBO Releases Options for Reducing the DeficitBudget Brief 13-17
November 27, 2013
On November 13, 2013, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its periodic report of options for reducing the federal budget deficit. The report outlines 103 policy options that would either reduce federal spending or increase federal revenues over the next 10 years. The options are taken from a variety of sources, such as the president's budget, proposed legislation, congressional budget resolutions, private organizations, and others. The options may have more relevance than usual this year, as Congress wrestles with an incomplete budget process and a desire to both reduce federal budget deficits while simultaneously providing additional discretionary spending in fiscal year (FY) 2014. The sections below highlight the options that would have an impact on states.
Shutdown Ends: CR Enacted, Debt Limit SuspendedBudget Brief 13-16
October 17, 2013
Early on October 17, 2013, the president signed H.R. 2775, making continuing appropriations for fiscal year (FY) 2014. The bill's notable features include:
- Ending the 16-day federal government shutdown
- Providing appropriations until January 15, 2014, at final FY 2013 levels, similar to the provisions of the initial House continuing resolution (CR) described in FFIS Budget Brief 13-12 (Sec. 101)
- Reimbursing states for costs incurred for operating federal programs during the shutdown, including reimbursement for furloughed employees (Sec. 116)
- Providing short-term extensions for several programs that expired on September 30, 2013, including the nutrition title of the farm bill and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) (Sec. 111 and 139)
- Requiring additional verification that persons seeking federal subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are eligible for such subsidies (Sec. 1001)
- Suspending the federal debt ceiling until February 7, 2014 (Sec. 1002)
While not part of the legislative text, the House and Senate also agreed to create a conference committee that would craft a broad budget agreement by December 13, 2013.
Potential Flexibility for States During ShutdownBudget Brief 13-15
October 7, 2013
Most discretionary programs (and some mandatory programs funded in appropriations acts) are affected by the government shutdown in that no new money is available during the lapse in federal budget appropriations. While Congress is considering legislation to ensure that federal workers are paid during the shutdown once appropriations are enacted, it has not addressed whether states would be reimbursed for any state funds used to run federal programs. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said it will advocate for such reimbursement, and several agencies have advised states that federal reimbursement will be allowed, unless Congress specifies otherwise.
This brief is designed to help states assess their options for funding programs during the appropriations lapse, as well as to determine how specific programs may be affected.
Effect of Shutdown on Mandatory ProgramsBudget Brief 13-14
October 3, 2013
Some mandatory programs are less affected than others by the current lapse in federal budget appropriations. Nuances in the federal budget process result in a number of mandatory programs relying on annual appropriations while others do not.
The Effect of a Federal Government Shutdown on Major State GrantsBudget Brief 13-13
September 30, 2013
With just a few hours remaining before the beginning of federal fiscal year (FY) 2014, attention has turned to the possibility that Congress will be unable to agree to a continuing resolution (CR) to maintain funding for the federal government. A CR is necessary because no appropriations bills have been enacted for FY 2014. Last week, the House passed a CR that incorporated "defunding" of the Affordable Care Act (ACA; P.L. 111-148). In response, the Senate stripped the defunding provision from the CR and sent it back to the House, where new language was added to delay implementation of the ACA, and repeal its medical device tax. The Senate rejected these provisions in its latest vote, and it is unclear how the House will proceed.
FFIS has summarized the impact of the House CR (H.J. Res. 59) in Budget Brief 13-12. This brief discusses the impact of a federal government shutdown on major grant programs, should it come to pass.
House Introduces Short-Term FY 2014 CR; Extends Funding for TANF, SNAP, Other ProgramsBudget Brief 13-12
September 12, 2013
On September 11, 2013, the House unveiled a draft Continuing Resolution (CR, H.J. Res. 59) for fiscal year (FY) 2014 that would keep the federal government running until December 15, 2013. Discretionary spending levels in the CR are set at an annualized level of $986 billion. This reflects the FY 2013 post-sequester spending level, plus additional funding for certain areas including judicial services, wildfire management, and veterans' disability claims processing. The CR also contains a few policy provisions and would extend funding for several programs that are set to expire on September 30, 2013.
FY 2014 Appropriations Process Grinds to a Halt; What Now?Budget Brief 13-11
August 22, 2013
In the days leading up to their five-week August recesses, both chambers of Congress reached an impasse on an important spending bill, which signaled a fundamental breakdown in the appropriations process for fiscal year (FY) 2014. In both chambers, it was the spending bill for Transportation-Housing and Urban Development (T-HUD) that caused problems. In the House, the bill was reportedly pulled prior to a floor vote when it became clear that there was insufficient support for the deep cuts included in it. In the Senate, the majority party was unable to invoke cloture (which requires 60 votes and is necessary to end debate), so the bill never made it to a vote. It was the first FY 2014 appropriation bill to be brought to the Senate floor.
While neither of these developments is shocking given the acrimonious environment on Capitol Hill, they do raise important issues for states. What is the outlook for the federal budget as the new fiscal year approaches on October 1, 2013? What will become of the Budget Control Act (BCA; P.L. 112-25) and sequestration? What are the implications for state grant programs?
FY 2014 Appropriations: July 4th Recess UpdateBudget Brief 13-10
July 9, 2013
Last month, FFIS released Budget Brief 13-09, detailing provisions of the House committee's fiscal year (FY) 2014 Homeland Security appropriations. Since that time, there has been movement on several other FY 2014 spending bills. Both the House and Senate appropriations committees have approved FY 2014 Agriculture, Energy-Water, and Transportation-Housing and Urban Development (HUD) appropriations bills. In addition, both committees have now approved their respective 302(b) allocations to the various appropriations subcommittees. This Budget Brief describes the differences in the 302(b) allocations and the provisions of the recent spending bills. Table 1 provides recommended funding levels for the discretionary and mandatory programs of most importance to states based on the latest House and Senate actions.
House FY 2014 Homeland Security Appropriations: Impact on State ProgramsBudget Brief 13-09
June 14, 2013
On June 6, 2013, the House passed H.R. 2217, a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for fiscal year (FY) 2014. The bill would provide $1.5 billion for state and local programs under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a 10.3% increase from FY 2013. Most of these funds would be distributed at the discretion of the secretary of DHS. This Budget Brief explains the proposed changes.
House 302(b) Allocations to Guide FY 2014 Appropriation ActivityBudget Brief 13-08
May 22, 2013
As part of the federal budget process, the February release of the president's budget is followed in April by congressional adoption of a concurrent budget resolution, which establishes broad spending parameters for the annual appropriations process. This process has been turned on its head in recent years, with the president's budget frequently being released after the statutory deadline and Congress seldom adopting a concurrent budget resolution. In fact, the last concurrent budget resolution adopted by Congress was in April 2009 for fiscal year (FY) 2010.
President's FY 2014 Budget: More of the Same, with a TwistBudget Brief 13-07
April 18, 2013
On April 10, 2013, the president released his fiscal year (FY) 2014 budget proposal, more than two months after the statutory deadline. The delay was reportedly precipitated by the absence of final FY 2013 appropriations and uncertainty surrounding budget sequestration mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA, P.L. 112-25). The president's budget retains the discretionary spending caps included in the BCA (and amendments to it), while eliminating the annual sequestration mandated by the failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit reduction (JSC). This is accomplished through both revenue increases and savings in mandatory programs.
The budget repeats themes from earlier budget requests, including proposals to consolidate funding into fewer grant programs, replace existing formula grant programs with competitive grants, and implement a host of new competitive grant programs.
The FY 2013 spending data included in the president's proposal do not reflect final enacted spending levels, nor do they reflect the effects of sequestration. Instead, the budget reports FY 2013 figures based on the first continuing resolution (CR) adopted last fall, which was in effect until March 27, 2013. It assumes the full annualized levels associated with that CR. In contrast, FFIS figures for FY 2013 cited here reflect final enacted spending levels and the impact of sequestration.
Overall, the FY 2014 budget would provide a 7% funding increase for the major discretionary programs reported by FFIS on Table 1. This increase is somewhat misleading, as various consolidation proposals—such as the one for homeland security grants—would replace smaller programs not listed on the table with one large program that is listed. The increase also underscores the impact of sequestration on FY 2013 program levels.
The mandatory programs included on Table 1 are estimated to increase 12% in FY 2014. The increase is driven by Vaccines for Children (+19%), Child Care Entitlements to States (+17), Medicaid vendor payments (+15%), and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP, +10%). Combined funding for discretionary plus mandatory grant programs would increase 10% under the budget.
Significant FY 2014 budget proposals are described in the following sections.
At Long Last, FY 2013 Appropriations FinalizedBudget Brief 13-06
March 27, 2013
Before adjourning for the Easter recess, Congress approved a bill (H.R. 933) to fund the federal government for the remainder of fiscal year (FY) 2013, which ends on September 30, 2013. H.R. 933 includes a combination of five new appropriations bills and a continuing resolution (CR) for the remaining program areas. The funding levels in the bill are in effect for the entire fiscal year and replace the annualized levels included in the first CR. H.R. 933 does not reverse the March 1, 2013, sequester included in the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA; P.L. 112-25). As such, final FY 2013 funding levels for programs subject to sequester are determined by subtracting sequester cuts from funding levels in the final spending bill. The final FY 2013 funding levels mitigate or worsen the effects of sequester in some instances.
This Budget Brief describes the provisions in H.R. 933 relevant to states. Table 1 includes final FY 2013 funding levels for major grant programs that reflect both the March 1 sequester and the final spending bill. Compared to FY 2012, states will see a -$4.6 billion funding reduction for the major discretionary programs on Table 1. The mandatory programs are estimated to increase 7%, in part because most of the programs are exempt from sequester and funding for the largest program, Medicaid, is projected to increase by almost $18 billion.
OMB Releases Budget Adjustments for Year-Long CR; House CR Includes SomeBudget Brief 13-05
March 5, 2013
Last week, the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a list of appropriations issues that would need to be addressed if the continuing resolution (CR) that is now in place for fiscal year (FY) 2013 is extended for the remainder of the fiscal year. The CR is set to expire on March 27, 2013. Some of the policy changes could affect funding for state grant programs.
Since the list was released, it is becoming even more likely that Congress will enact a full-year CR for most federal agencies. Today, the House released a bill that would provide new FY 2013 appropriations for Defense and Military Construction-Veterans Affairs, with the remaining appropriation bills funded through a year-long CR. The House version addresses some of OMB's recommendations.
This Budget Brief highlights OMB's provisions of note and indicates whether the recommendations are included in the House CR.
OMB Releases New Sequester Guidance to Federal AgenciesBudget Brief 13-04
March 1, 2013
This week, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued guidance to federal agencies outlining their responsibility for implementing the March 1, 2013 sequester. While the guidance does not indicate how OMB will carry out the sequester, it does provide a framework for agency actions.
The guidance does not provide the final across-the-board (ATB) percentage reductions for fiscal year (FY) 2013. However, OMB indicates an effective percentage reduction of approximately 9% for nondefense programs. The effective reduction takes into account that the cuts must be absorbed over seven months of the fiscal year, rather than the entire fiscal year. However, the cuts are calculated by multiplying the annual ATB percentage reduction, which is around 5% for nondefense programs, by annualized funding levels in the current continuing resolution (CR).
Unless Congress and the president enact legislation to amend the sequester, the president must issue a sequester order by midnight tonight to cancel $85 billion in budgetary resources.
The Secret Life of the Second SequesterBudget Brief 13-03
February 27, 2013
With all the attention surrounding a scheduled sequestration of federal spending on March 1, 2013, the existence of a second sequestration provision has largely gone unnoticed. The Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA; P.L. 112-25) incorporated certain provisions of an earlier deficit-reduction law, the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA; P.L. 99-177). The BBEDCA, along with ensuing legislation, provided for sequestering discretionary funding provided in annual appropriations bills if that funding exceeded the spending caps allowed by law.
Under the current continuing resolution (CR) and subsequent fiscal year (FY) 2013 appropriations—namely those for disaster relief—current funding for FY 2013 exceeds the caps specified for FY 2013 under the BCA and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA; P.L. 112-240). As a result, if funding levels contained in the current CR are extended for the remainder of the year, a second sequestration could occur on March 27, 2013.
At Last, Emergency Relief for Hurricane SandyBudget Brief 13-02
February 1, 2013
On January 29, 2013, President Obama signed P.L. 113-2, providing supplemental appropriations primarily for Hurricane Sandy disaster assistance. The bill includes approximately $50 billion in direct government spending, aid to individuals, and grants to state-local governments and other entities. It adds to the $9.7 billion in borrowing authority for the National Flood Insurance Program that was enacted in early January (P.L. 113-1). This Budget Brief highlights the funding that will flow to states as well as other provisions of note.
President Signs Fiscal Cliff DealBudget Brief 13-01
January 4, 2013
On January 2, 2013, the president signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (H.R. 8), addressing some of the issues debated during the recent fiscal cliff negotiations. The deal includes a number of tax provisions, an extension of unemployment benefits and farm programs, and certain health extensions and offsets. The package also delays sequestration (previously scheduled to take effect January 2, 2013) for two months and pays for those two months of cuts with a combination of other spending cuts and revenue increases. This Budget Brief provides details on the agreement.

Joe Flacco decided that throwing a praying heave in bounds is much better than surrendering and throwing out of bounds. Anquan Boldin agrees.
Joe Flacco decided that throwing a praying heave in bounds is much better than surrendering and throwing out of bounds. Anquan Boldin agrees.
He's like a giant music man, conducting his own tiny band.
First, he was all like…
Then he was like…
Then he needed a minute alone…
Finally, he just said "you know what? I'm out"…
Goodnight, Tom. We'll see you again someday.
The result of this hit was a fumble, a turnover on the Patriots' 39-yard line, and a touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin a few plays later. The Ravens have now scored 21 unanswered points over just the last 10 minutes of play, with 14 of them coming on TD passes to Boldin after he didn't have a catch during the first half.
But at the time, this wasn't just your standard "WOOAAAHHHHH!" hit. No, it was downright scary, with Stevan Ridley's limbs crumbling immediately.
And so Bernard Pollard's long history of Patriot destruction continues after he was famously the guy to shelve Tom Brady for the season back in 2008.
Ridley walked off on his own after being attended to by team trainers and doctors. For what it's worth, he was seen talking to teammates on the sideline moments later. But predictably, he's been ruled out for the rest of the game.
Just a little bruise, guys. No worries.
Dennis Pitta laughed last, though, assuming his body is still capable of laughing. On the next play he caught a five-yard touchdown pass, putting the Ravens ahead 14-13.
Welp, it's been fun, guys. If anyone needs me I'll be underground somewhere.
This New England Patriots fan just wanted to share a moment with a TD celebrating Ray Rice. He figured maybe he and Ray could get together after the game, pound a few beers and compare pythons.
Ray Rice wants none of these things.

High Fidelity LyricsArtist: Elvis Costello
Album: Get Happy!!
Even though you're feeling like another man
There's nothing that he can do for you
To shut me away as you walk through
Lovers laughing in their amateur hour
Holding hands in the corridors of power
Even though I'm with somebody else right now
High fidelity
Can you hear me?
There's a new kind of dedication
Maybe you'll find it down the tunnel
Maybe I got above my station
Maybe you're only changing channel
Even though you're nowhere near me
And I know you kiss him so sincerely now
Even though the signal's indistinct
And you worry what silly people think
Who just can't wait to feel so frozen out
I bet he thinks that he was chosen out of millions
I suppose he'll never know about
All lyrics are the property of their respective authors, artists and labels.

Sunshine Heart: A Promising Treatment for Heart Failure Patients
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Heart failure is a major medical problem in this country affecting well over five million Americans. However, the development of new and effective heart-failure therapies has lagged for the past several decades.
Sunshine Heart (SSH) is developing a new heart-assist device to treat patients with later stage (class 3 and early class 4) heart failure who fall between the cracks of current therapy. These are typically patients who no longer respond to drug therapy but are too healthy to be considered for transplant or an implanted ventricular assist device i.e. "mechanical heart."
Currently, when drug therapy ceases to be effective, heart-failure patients are fitted with a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator. These devices are considered stopgap treatments because all they do is prevent arrhythmias but don't improve a patient's condition. In fact, the shocks delivered by the devices can actually cause further heart damage over the long term.
Sunshine Heart's C-Pulse Heart system assists the heart in pumping blood through the left ventricle using a proven balloon counter-pulsation technique. A cuff is placed around the outside of the aorta and is attached to a sensing lead that detects when the heart's electrical signal. When the heart is pumping blood, the cuff inflates to increase blood flow. When the cuff deflates, the pumping required by the left side of the heart is decreased. C-Pulse reduces the workload of a patient's heart and increases blood flow through the arteries.And since the cuff is placed around the outside of the aorta, the risk of infection and stroke is significantly reduced. Patients are not required to take blood-thinning drugs due to C-Pulse. In a feasibility study of 20 patients using the C-Pulse system, 50% of heart failure patients improved after 12 months, achieving an average reduction in heart-disease classification of over 1 class. The mean improvement in the six-minute walk test was over 50 meters. One patient completely disconnected from the device because he no longer had any symptoms of heart disease. Another patient died due to aortic disruption. Sunshine Heart is targeted a large commercial market with the C-Pulse system. More than 5 million patients are diagnosed with heart failure in the U.S., with 10% of these patients class III or ambulatory Class IV making them eligible for the C-Pulse.

Soda Ban Passes in NYC
Beginning in March 2013, it'll be a little hard to get your sugar fix in the Big Apple. Today, the New York City Board of Health approved Mayor Michael Bloomberg's controversial ban on the sale of sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces at restaurants, street carts, delis, and movie theaters.
"NYC's new sugary drink policy is the single biggest step any gov't has taken to curb #obesity," Bloomberg wrote on Twitter.
The ban won't extend to supermarkets, vending machines, or bodegas that don't sell enough fresh food to fall under the city's letter grading system. Starting in mid-June, violators will be slapped with a fine.
The legislation has its fair share of critics. Both Pepsi and Coca-Cola launched aggressive social media and advertising campaigns in New York City, and the American Beverage Association said restricting sales of large sodas would have a "devastating" effect on the industry. But health experts have shown overwhelming support for the plan. Tammy Lakatos Shames, RD, a New York-based nutritionist, spoke to Fitbie about the topic in July. "Our country has [a problem with] the overconsumption of sugar," she said. "People can find a way to get larger sodas if they really want them. But let's stop offering the super-size sodas and, in a month, the 16-ounce will be the new norm."

I want to address a concern about readings – that giving a poetry reading is different from a prose (fiction/nonfiction) reading. The answer is maybe. There is possibly less set up needed for a poetry reading than there is for a fiction or nonfiction reading. In my opinion, there is usually far too much set up, regardless of genre. A brief, and I mean brief, description of how the poem(s) came about is good enough. More can be given, if wanted, in the Q & A after the reading. I do need to know the basics about the characters and the relationships between them. If the section chosen for reading is clear, that is about all that is needed. In nonfiction, again, a short description of why or how the topic was of interest to the author is appropriate. In any case, speaking clearly, speaking up, slowing down, varying the voice, staying within time lines, practicing at home, and what follows here, I believe applies to any reading.
If you are reading with other writers, it is imperative that you stay within your time allotted. I've read in situations where my time was severely curtailed because someone before me took too much time. Please be fair. Keep the other readers in mind.
Similarly, keep your audience in mind. Don't read more than they can stand. Numb bum is not a pretty sight in your audience. Not to mention not nice to experience. Leave your audience wanting more! You want them to buy the book after all.
I suggest having the material you are reading on 8 ½" x 11" pages. Increase the font to 14 or 16 point and print it off. It's easier to read, maybe even readable should you forget your glasses. You can mark up the pages with underlining for emphasis or places you want to stop to breathe. If you have a book, show it at the beginning of the reading and again at the end. If it is possible, prop it up against the podium so people can see it.
If you have a podium, please don't hide behind it. Look up! Look at your audience. Find a friendly face mid-audience and read to that person. Better yet, move your gaze across the audience. If you read looking down at the page all the time, the podium will dampen the sound just like rugs, books and bodies.
When there is a microphone use it! Too many times I've heard writers say, "I never use a mic." Oh, how I wished they would have done so. If you use a mic, you don't have to strain your voice to be heard in the back row. Speak clearly, speak slowly and it will work. And, it will allow you to use dramatic devices like stage whispers and dropping your voice with wonderful success. Your host knows the room better than you do. If there is a mic there, there is a reason for it.
If you are using a lapel mic, and you are a woman wearing long necklaces or a man who likes to wear fancy chains, be careful. Jewelry can slip across your clothing and slap against the mic.
Speaking of what to wear, if you like to wear hats, especially broad-brimmed ones, be careful with them. The audience likes to see your face. The hard of hearing like to be able to see your face and lips without shadows. The brim can block your voice from reaching the audience. Wear the hat if you wish, but place it on your head so that your face can still be seen. Look up from the page.
You wouldn't think that foot wear would be something to worry about, but it can be. Women with high heels or high heeled boots can make an awful sound if you are one who shifts your weight on your heels. It can be really distracting. Similarly, for guys who wear cowboy boots or shoes with hard heels. I'm not saying don't wear them. I'm saying be aware of what you are doing with them.
Oh, and guys, be really careful about playing with the coins in your pocket while you are reading. I was giving a reading once and was a bit more nervous than usual. I wanted to look calm, cool and collected. I had my hand in my pocket and was letting the coins run through my fingers as I read. I didn't notice it, but I was told afterward that everybody could hear the clink of the coins in my pocket. The best thing is to keep your hands out of your pockets altogether.
I recommend that you don't drink alcohol before you read. I know others will tell you, it will "settle the nerves". It might. But, a little "nerves" is a good thing. I know that if I am not a little nervous, my performance lacks the energy needed. So, channel the nerves into helping rather than hindering the reading. Drinking before hand, I believe, makes it more difficult to keep track of your place in the reading, keep track of time, makes you more likely to go over time, etc. etc. Save the drinks for celebrating after the reading. A glass of water will do just fine both before and during the reading.
Similarly, I don't recommend drinking coffee or tea or milk products. These things will encourage the production of phlegm in your throat. Gross! Yes, the only "stuff" you need in your throat is your words.
Okay, you've done it all right. You've got five minutes left. And, horror of horrors you lose your place or you forget that next line. Now what? Stop. I mean it. STOP. Don't apologize. Stand still. Look at the page in front of you and find your place or find the line. Begin speaking at that place. I promise, if you do this, nobody in the audience will notice. The time (seconds) will feel like hours to you. It isn't. Practice at home. It works.
I also promise, if you start to stumble around, apologize, start jumping around, run your hand through your hair, cry or run screaming off stage, the audience will notice and remember that and not your work.
You've gotten through your reading and people are all talking at once. Book sales are looking good. Your writing hand is cramping from signing autographs. Well done! Now you can relax and have that glass of wine. Now you can say to yourself, "I did that. And, I did it well!" Was it fun? I sure hope so. It is easier when it's fun. But, this you can be sure of, it was a good time for your audience. And, that's what counts.
There are other things I can suggest. They are contained in the workshop that I teach. Giving a reading in public really can be enjoyable for both you and your audience

As part of the natural ebb and flow of the National Football League, a number of good players fall off cliffs annually, while a number of unknowns ascend to the mountaintop. We've already speculated on the former. Here are 11 candidates for the latter…
1. Cardinals cornerback A.J. Jefferson
Gagnon's take: Despite going undrafted and spending much of 2010 on the practice squad, the Cards love him. With Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie gone and Greg Toler hurt, a great preseason has sent Jefferson to the top of the cornerback depth chart in Arizona.
Tomlinson's take: My only fear with Jefferson is that once games become meaningful this week, the hype machine could make teams shy away from Peterson, leaving an undrafted rookie exposed.
2. Jaguars running back Deji Karim
Tomlinson's take: This one comes with the obvious caveat of Maurice Jones-Drew being slowed by his knee injury. Rashad Jennings was Jones-Drew's backup, a role now inherited by Karim following Jennings' own knee injury that ended his 2011 season before it began. With Luke McCown or possibly later Blaine Gabbert at quarterback in Jacksonville, the running game will be leaned on heavily. Fullback Montell Owens could also receive additional carries.
Gagnon's take: And even if MoJo doesn't suffer an injury, there have been murmurs out of Jacksonville that he'll begin to receive a lighter load this season and beyond. Karim might be a surprise candidate to emerge in a very good run game.
3. Colts running back Delone Carter
Tomlinson's take: Trying to gain some kind of insight from the Colts' running back depth chart this year will be a fruitless task. Joseph Addai will be the lead man, but both Donald Brown and Carter will be the two smaller heads this three-headed monstrosity. Brown has done little to impress, so Carter should get the call and muddle things further after Addai's inevitable injury (Addai has missed 12 games over the last three years).
Gagnon's take: And again, even if Addai stays healthy Carter is expected to become a red-zone force in 2011. The offense will be less effective through the air and might take fewer chances with Peyton Manning out, and Carter will be the big body they want near the end zone. So expect him to score a lot in his rookie campaign.
4. Patriots safety Josh Barrett
Gagnon's take: The Patriots must see something in Barrett, because his play in training camp and the preseason made New England comfortable enough to get rid of James Sanders and Brandon Meriweather while keeping just four starters. The former seventh-round pick will start with Patrick Chung. He has all of the physical attributes necessary to become a superstar safety.
Tomlinson's take: There's a lingering but mild injury concern after Barrett spent the last year on injured reserve while recovering from shoulder surgery. But he has indeed impressed in training camp, and the ability to earn Bill Belichick's trust in the secondary shouldn't be underestimated.
5. 49ers running back Kendall Hunter
Gagnon's take: The rookie beat out Anthony Dixon to earn the backup job in San Francisco, but there's a belief that Hunter could challenge an aging Frank Gore for carries. In an offense that lacks weapons, he could emerge quickly.
Tomlinson's take: Gore was mentioned as one of elite players set to spiral yesterday. Glen Coffee was once next in line before he chose religion over football, which is sacrilegious. Now Hunter will benefit from Gore's brittleness, and quickly accelerate his career.
6. Browns receiver Brian Robiskie
Tomlinson's take: Mohammad Massaquoi has been officially moved to the top of the depth chart for an unpredictable position in Cleveland. The three-year rule for wide receivers may not apply to Robiskie since he's entering a new system under Pat Shurmur, but he should still have plenty of opportunities to emerge as a prime target.
Gagnon's take: I'll give you Robiskie, who has the ability but has yet to make it happen at the professional level. But watch out for Evan Moore and Greg Little as well.
7. Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph
Tomlinson's take: Even if a 31-year-old Visanthe Shiancoe remains healthy after struggling with a groin injury throughout the preseason, Rudolph will still be utilized in two tight end sets. In a league filled with imitators, many offenses are looking to duplicate what the Patriots did in 2010 with Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski.
Gagnon's take: I'm still not comfortable with anyone but Adrian Peterson in the Minnesota offense.
8. Bears defensive tackle Henry Melton
Gagnon's take: The versatile defensive lineman out of Texas takes over for Tommie Harris. He reportedly added a bunch of weight in the offseason and could be poised to become the team's top run-stuffing presence in 2011.
Tomlinson's take: Melton will have plenty of support with Julius Peppers and Israel Idonije drawing attention on the outside.
9. Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee
Gagnon's take: Keith Brooking has no business starting alongside Bradie James, DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer. Lee, a sophomore out of Penn State, should overtake Brooking if he can stay healthy. The former second-round pick has the ability to become a star.
Tomlinson's take: Lee was used sparingly during his first season last year, but his 138 tackles for Penn State in 2008 show his potential and upside.
10. Steelers linebacker Jason Worilds
Gagnon's take: The 52nd pick of the 2010 draft might earn a lot of extra snaps with James Harrison's health a question mark headed into the season. He proved at Virginia Tech that he has the talent. In the Pittsburgh offense, he could bloom quickly.
Tomlinson's take: Harrison was fatigued and sluggish throughout the preseason despite never playing in more than one half of any game. After back surgery he still has a lockout hangover, and Worilds should get plenty of opportunities.
11. Cardinals receiver Andre Roberts
Tomlinson's take: This Kevin Kolb character sounds like he knows how to throw a football, and Steve Breaton is gone. Todd Heap will draw some looks, but we're only about five games away from his first injury of 2011. Roberts beat out Early Doucet for the No. 2 receiver spot in the desert, and will now benefit from the double coverages drawn by Larry Fitzgerald.
Gagnon's take: If he can do the kind of things he did against Dallas in Week 16 last year, he'll become an ideal complement to Fitzgerald. The Cards could have kept Breaston — I think they let him walk because they're confident that Roberts can become a legit starter.

Press Release of U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer
|For Immediate Release:
July 21, 2009
Washington D.C. Office (202) 224-3553
Washington, D.C.– U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) today made the following statement after voting against halting production of the F-22 "Raptor."
"I voted to support continued production of the F-22 Raptor because we are still hearing strong indications from top military leaders that we need additional aircraft.
Last month, General Corley, the Commander of the Air Force Air Combat Command, wrote that ending procurement of the F-22 would put our ability to execute our nation's military strategy at 'high risk' over the 'near to mid-term.'
In addition, Lieutenant General Harry M. Wyatt III, the Director of the Air National Guard, has stated that these aircraft are particularly important for homeland defense missions, including addressing potential threats from cruise missiles.
General Merrill McPeak (Ret), the former Chief of Staff of the Air Force, also recently added that ending F-22 procurement 'is a real mistake,' and that 'we certainly need some figure well above 200.'
The United States has made a significant investment in the F-22 program. Before terminating it, I believe we must see in unequivocal terms how the defense planning process has determined that requirements and threats have changed to stop production at 187.
The next Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR)—which outlines our national security strategy—is scheduled for submission by the Department of Defense in early 2010. This important document shapes how our military will respond to threats to our national security. The timing of today's vote ignored this review.
While I realize that there are compelling arguments on both sides of this issue, I do not believe we have enough information at this time to shut down the F-22 line and terminate the program at 187 aircraft."
The amendment to strip funding for the F-22 passed by a vote of 58-40.

Pennsylvania Governor Corbett's Budget Encourages Job Growth
By reducing taxes, lowering government barriers to job creation and supporting job placement and training for Pennsylvania's work force, Governor Corbett's proposed budget encourages businesses to move here, grow here and hire here in Pennsylvania.
"It simply makes sense that the less we tax, the more a business can re-invest. They can re-invest in new equipment and most of all new employees," Corbett said.
In addition to business tax reform, this year's proposed budget aims to add to the over 100,000 new private sector jobs created since Governor Corbett took office by:
- Implementing PA BIZ Online, an upgrade of the Open for Business website, to guide potential entrepreneurs in establishing new business in Pennsylvania.
- Expanding the Children's Specialized Services program to assist children who are blind or visually impaired, and their families, with federal vocational rehabilitation funding.
- Continuing the Project SEARCH program for young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities so they can transition from school to work.
- Implementing the comprehensive job matching system, providing employment data, including current and projected job openings, and eventually help employers find qualified candidates for their open positions.
- Creating recruitment hubs to help businesses find the skilled workers they need.
- Continuing to combine PA CareerLink and the Employment Advancement and Retention Network, eliminating duplication of services and better deliver employment and training services.
- Streamlining the workers' compensation system by improving care for injured workers and reducing medical costs for employers.
- Continuing support of Keystone Works, encouraging businesses to provide on-the-job training for new workers, while allowing workers to continue receiving benefits as they learn a new skill.
"We didn't create our success by raising taxes. We created it by expanding opportunities,'' Corbett said.C3 Controls is a Pennsylvania based company that manufactures a broad range of standard industrial control products. Launching 35 years ago from inside a Beaver County home, C3 Controls has expanded its product portfolio to now include over twenty lines of electrical controls products.

Stevens tells politicians to get on with reformPUBLISHED: 18 Dec 2013 13:01:00 | UPDATED: 19 Dec 2013 02:59:39PRINT EDITION: 18 Dec 2013
The Reserve Bank governor Glenn Stevens appeared before a parliamentary committee on Wednesday. Photo: Alex Ellinghausen
Comment Alan Mitchell
While the politicians obsess about the government's $8.8 billion cash injection to strengthen the Reserve Bank of Australia's balance sheet, the governor, Glenn Stevens, was more interested in using his appearance before Parliament's economics committee to push for faster economic reform.
Stevens was right. The decline in the terms of trade exposes Australia's weakened productivity growth which, in turn, is the result of more than a decade of minimal economic reform. The economic, fiscal and political consequences of that dwarf any legitimate concerns about the RBA money.
In fact, the story behind the RBA cash injection is no mystery at all. The incoming Abbott government decided to make the injection now so that it could load the cost on to the final budget of the outgoing Labor government.
This is how Australian governments historically have recapitalised their business enterprises. Government enterprises such as Telstra and Qantas would have to wait for a change in government for their injections of new capital, because that was the only time that the government could borrow the money without affecting its own budget.
As for the question of whether the RBA actually needed the money, that goes to the deeper issue of why a central bank, which creates money, should need money from the government.
Stevens summed it up neatly. There are insolvent central banks functioning effectively, but it is a "bad look", and potentially a cause for damaging, if ill-informed, comment. That could be a complicating factor in times of financial stress.
So governments of all political persuasions have taken the RBA's balance sheet quite seriously.
The pity is that our politicians have been less concerned about the need to maintain the momentum on economic reform.
The Productivity Commission's long to-do list of potential reforms is an indictment of both sides of the political divide.
