Compatibility of Silicon Mach-Zehnder Modulators for Advanced Modulation Formats
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 31, Issue 15, pp. 2550-2554 (2013)
Acrobat PDF (608 KB)
Silicon photonics which is compatible with mature complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication process has been extensively demonstrated for monolithic integration of photonic and electrical circuits. We show that an integrated silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) may be used for advanced modulation formats despite the nonlinear dependence of refractive index change with applied voltage in the free-carrier depletion modulator. We experimentally demonstrated the use of a silicon MZM for direct detection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DDO-OFDM) modulation with advanced data formats of quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), 8 phase-shift keying (8PSK) and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM). The measured bit error rate performance of the back-to-back and 50 km single mode fiber transmission of each format is well below the forward error correction limit.

Kristian Bush Reveals Cover, Track Listing + Release Date for Debut Solo Album
Sugarland singer-guitarist Kristian Bush has revealed the details for his long-awaited debut solo album.
Sugarland singer-guitarist Kristian Bush has revealed the details for his long-awaited debut solo album.
The members of Sugarland, Live Nation and other defendants have announced a settlement with the victims of a deadly stage collapse that took place at the Indiana State Fair in 2011.
Something wonderful happens to a man when he is loved by a woman. Something that can't be undone. We can't un-feel that feeling. It never goes away ... even if she does.
Kristian Bush is working on his own solo album, but his work with Jennifer Nettles as part of the award-winning duo Sugarland is never far from his mind. The singer-songwriter, who co-wrote most of the songs on their four studio albums, reveals that many of the tunes told one continuous story.
Sugarland continue to fight off rumors of a breakup, as they have been since announcing their solo ventures. Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush maintain they're not broken up as a duo, but when asked about a future tour together, they had very different answers.
At a recent stop in Buffalo, N.Y., Sugarland's Kristian Bush eagerly shared new solo material, as well as stories about writing hit songs and his very first drinking tune.
Sugarland is taking a break allowing Jennifer Nettles to release a solo album. Now it's Kristian Bush's turn.
Following a confetti-filled countdown to 2014, Kristian Bush of fan-favorite duo Sugarland will head out on the road to play a few solo tour dates.
Fear not, Sugarland fans: Even though Kristian Bush and Jennifer Nettles both have solo projects going on, the duo isn't breaking up.
While Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles tends to her newborn son -- first child Magnus Hamilton Miller -- her duet partner Kristian Bush continues to explore other sides of his sonic personality and remains increasingly busy.
A court order made public on Tuesday reveals that Marion Superior Court Judge Theodore Sosin is ordering both Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush to testify about the events leading up to last August's stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair. Previously it was believed that only Nettles would have to give a deposition.

SPRINGFIELD, Massachusetts — Police say a Springfield man was justified when he shot one of two brothers who had forced their way into his home last weekend.
The man was home with his 3-year-old daughter shortly after midnight Saturday when the East Longmeadow brothers began kicking the door.
Sgt. John Delaney says the suspects threatened to "light up the house," and apparently thought the resident was someone else.
Once inside, the suspects advanced on the homeowner, who opened fire, striking one.
The suspects fled, but were arrested nearby.
They were identified as 24-year-old Jordan Eady and 22-year-old Jovan Eady. Jordan Eady was treated for a gunshot wound. They face charges including armed burglary and threat to murder.
The resident's firearm was properly licensed and police called the incident "a justified self-defense shooting."

Mark Brady - 9/17/2008
My principal concern is that proposed government responses to the "crisis" -- credit expansion or efforts to prop up real estate prices or whatever -- will make matters worse. In other words, I want prices to clear. I suggest that many asset prices have some way to fall. The faster that prices clear, the sooner that market exchanges will increase and economic activity will expand. In that way, even investment bankers can find employment -- albeit at perhaps much lower compensation levels.
Steven Horwitz - 9/17/2008
My subject line says it all. :) The more "we" keep bailing out those who have used resources poorly, the more poor resources use we're gonna get. There's also the matter of who benefits from such bailouts. I'd like to hear more from my friends on the left decrying the implicit and explicit corporatism involved.

The Mariners' ace entered Wednesday's game against the Indians with a chance to break Tom Seaver's record of 13 consecutive starts with seven or more innings pitched and two or fewer runs allowed. Before dismissing that as a factoid engineered by a stats geek, consider the sustained run of dominance the record would indicate. Starts that satisfy those parameters might not seem that different from the usual benchmark for strong pitching – the quality start, as is named an outing of six or more innings and three or fewer runs – but it turns out that they are much, much more difficult to put together. You might call them "luxury starts." Of the 3,186 starts made by major league pitchers before Wednesday, 1,688 of them – nearly 53% - qualified as quality starts. Add one inning to, and cut one run from, the definition, and just 788, or under 25%, qualified. Think about what it takes to be able to do that every time out, without fail, for two and a half months, as Hernandez had entering Wednesday night. The thing was that on Wednesday Felix actually got the record – one that is not among the game's most hallowed, but still demonstrates the kind of historically dominant pitcher that he is. He retired the Indians' first 12 hitters, and seemed so untouchable that after walking the first man he faced in the fifth, the next guy up – Lonnie Chisenhall, who is not only lefthanded but batting .309 – actually tried bunting the first pitch he saw. Chisenhall fouled it off, and that was lucky, because four pitches later he lined a double to right, sparking an inning in which the Indians scored their allotted two runs. Those were the only runs Cleveland mustered against Hernandez in his seven innings of work. He had the record. What he did not end up with was the win. That was mostly due to the efforts of the opposing starter on Wednesday, the Indians' Corey Kluber. Kluber does not have Hernandez's public profile, and there are a few reasons for that. One is that while Hernandez has been a phenom – the King – since he was a teenager, Kluber was hardly any good until last season, when he was already 27 years old. (Prior to 2013, Kluber had a big league record of 2-5, and an ERA of 5.35.) "Luxury" Starts in 2014 (7+ IP, 2 or fewer ER) Rank Player Team Luxury Starts 1 Felix Hernandez Mariners 18 2 Adam Wainwright Cardinals 16 3 Johnny Cueto Reds 13 4T Corey Kluber Indians 12 4T Tyson Ross Padres 12 4T Julio Teheran Braves 12 7T Tim Hudson Giants 11 7T Jon Lester Red Sox 11 7T David Price Rays 11 10T Bartolo Colon Mets 10 10T Yu Darvish Rangers 10 10T Cole Hamels Phillies 10 10T Garrett Richards Angels 10 10T Jeff Samardzija Cubs/A's 10 Another is that while Hernandez has a charismatic persona, both on the mound and off, Kluber is so notably undemonstrative that internet-savvy Tribe fans have begun to produce memes that reflect just how undemonstrative he is. Even so, thanks in large measure to his late mastery of three pitches – a sinker that hits 94 MPH, a cutter and a slurve – the righthanded Kluber has quietly become one of the game's aces. According to Fan Graphs, entering Wednesday he trailed only Hernandez and Jon Lester in WAR among pitchers, and he showed why on a night on which he outdueled the King. The normally lefty-heavy Mariners really tried to stack the deck against Kluber – of the 28 at-bats they took against him, 25 came from the left side of the plate – but Kluber doesn't have much of a problem against lefties (they were batting .262 against him on the season). Kluber allowed three hits, all of them singles, and no walks to go along with eight strikeouts in his complete game, 2-0 victory. He needed just 85 pitches to do it, the fewest delivered by any pitcher in a nine-inning complete game since 2012. He threw eight pitches or fewer in five of his frames. In his postgame interview, Kluber, after throwing the game of his life, displayed as much emotion as he usually does. If the corners of his mouth curled even a little bit, it was only for an instant. "They're a really aggressive lineup, so it's one of those things where I established early that I was going to be in the zone," he said. Earlier in the day, the Indians traded last year's ace, Justin Masterson, to the Cardinals, and the interviewer tried her best to get Kluber to suggest that he was now the team's No. 1 starter. She wondered if that might have given him some additional motivation. Kluber wouldn't bite. "Not really," Kluber said. "I didn't try to do anything different from what I normally do. Pitch as long as I can until Tito" – manager Terry Francona – "takes the ball from me." Tito, of course, had no reason to take the ball from Kluber on Wednesday, and he hasn't had much cause to do so for most of the season. Since May 1, Kluber has made 10 "luxury starts" of his own, and he is now sixth in the A.L.'s wins (11, against six losses), sixth in ERA (2.61), third in strikeouts (170) and third in innings pitched (158.1). Ever since the Yankees' Masahiro Tanaka hit the disabled list three weeks ago with a partially torn UCL, Hernandez has been the A.L.'s clear Cy Young favorite, and potential trades of Lester and David Price to the N.L. would only improve his chances. He would be deserving: he is 11-3 with a 2.01 ERA, and now he has a new all-time record on his résumé. Wednesday night, however, might be considered the one on which a darkhorse candidate entered the race. Compare all MLB Players | FindTheBest Promoted Stories Comments More MLB

The automation of tasks at work and at home is just around the corner, including driving cars, piloting planes, delivering packages, and transporting weapons. Unmanned aerial vehicles are rapidly evolving to meet both society's and the military's needs in automation and better efficiency. During her time as one of the first female fighter pilots in the US Navy, Dr. Missy Cummings observed that computers could take off and land a plane more precisely than humans. Because of this breakthrough and her fascination with this growing technology, she began human–drone interaction research.

Is it too early to start thinking about brewing beers for Spring? I always feel like I am a bit behind. I started thinking about my Oktoberfest to late, and I barely got my Christmas Celebration Ale brewed in time to be ready for Christmas. I want to get a better start on brewing my seasonals next year. What are some traditional styles for Spring?
Wet and frothy.
Well, the obvious one, of course, is a spring bock. I figure most mid-level lagers would be fine as well. Can't really think of any spring ales. Maybe a mild or amber ale.
I don't think it's too early. I brewed my last ale for a while yesterday (an espresso stout), and plan to shift the chest freezer over to lagers by early January. Thinking of a maibock to start.
I just ordered a Maibock AG kit from Austin HB. Talk about late, tho, I'll be brewing my Oktoberfest next weekend!
Saison! The Saison Dupont clone recipe in Clone Brews is excellent. I brewed it in March and it was still improving last month when I drannk the last one. Great spring brew and would be drinking really well by spring if you did one now.
I'm new to this board, but I'll throw my two cents in. I think anyone can brew whatever they want whenever they want to. That said, it's a good time to brew lagers because for most of us, it's colder now. From a traditional standpoint, it's probably a little late to brew a Dopplebock. The traditional time to release/start drinking Dopplebocks is the beginning of Lent (the style originated as sustenance for fasting monks!). Since Dopplebocks can take well over a month to ferment, if you are following tradition, that doesn't leave much lagering time. Standard (Dunkel) Bocks were generally released around the start of Spring, so from a historical point of view, there's plenty of time to ferment and lager before Spring. Maibock were, naturally, released in May, so there's time to brew a Dunkel Bock and get it out of the primary fermenter before starting a Maibock.
Pretty soon would be a good time to start a pilsner. Brew the first of jan. and lager until the end of march and two weeks to carb would set you up with a good spring beer.
Rookie "We all put the yeast in", Larry, Moe & Curley.
If I can get the temperature on my fridge dialled in I'm planning to brew a Doppelbock at Christmas for Spring consumption. Maybe I'll be able to enjoy the first pint while brewing an Oktoberfest.
With temperture controlled fermentation it is possible to brew anything you like anytime you like. Hey, I do that! I love lagers and my lager fridge is always going full tilt. Ales I can brew in my basement, which keeps temps ranging from 70 in the summer to 62 in the winter.
How do you BBQ an elephant....first you get your elephant....

C&C Cycle won the Freestyle Class of the Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show in D.C. for its customized 1996 Fat Boy.
Even with two local NFL teams (the Washington Redskins and Baltimore Ravens) competing in the playoffs, motorcycle enthusiasts still showed up in force over the weekend at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show in DC. A big highlight for the crowds was the
J&P Cycles
Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show, the sixth round of competition featuring custom rides ranging from stretched-out choppers and 'Busas to rusted sleds with interesting twists.
C&C Cycle rolled three custom bikes into the DC edition of the J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show and came out big with a $2500 FreeStyle win with its entry called Drug of Choice. Owned by Conrad Filbert, the 1996 Harley Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy features a raked neck and Ness 'Massive' front fork assembly, custom fenders, and a wide tire kit. Other touches that helped it win the Freestyle class was its stretched gas tank and details like a custom made spotlight bracket and frenched-in LED tailight.

2. Rats Custom – Tadpole, '73 CB 750
3. Bruce Banks – Wish, 2010 Harley Road Glide
Modified Harley
Adams Karns turned his shop-worn '01 Sportster into a primo new school board tracker that rocked the 2012 J&P Ultimate Builder, DC. Karns Kustoms' Sporty features a clean revision of the backside thanks to a Twisted Choppers rear. This is offset by a modified DNA Springer on the front and clean internally wired bars. The Harley's tidy aesthetics are completed by a custom gas tank and a black powder coated V-Twin mated to stubby Karns Kustoms exhaust.

2. GIO, Blacksmith Motoring - El Puro Vato, 2005 Deluxe
3. Earl Laurie, C&C Cycles - Baltimore Bandit, 2008 H-D FLHX
Karns Kustoms turned this 2001 Sportster into an ultra-clean 'new school' board tracker, the effort garnering enough attention to earn it Modified Harley winner at the D.C. Ultimate Builder Show.
Devon Eckert's Whiskey Tango, based on a 1982 Yamaha XS650, has plenty of unique touches, from its custom jockey shifter and gas cap to its homemade battery box and taillight.
Gio and Blacksmith Motoring Co. took the already potent mill of the Yamaha Roadliner and made it ridiculous by adding a 120 CI stroker kit, competition cams and a turbo.
Garwood Customs created this Performance Custom class winning Gixxer, stretching it out with a single-sided 300 Wide Tire Kit by C&S Custom, an Air FX Air Ride System, and a Performance Machine rear braking system.
Mike Davis of SportWorx was chosen as the Ultimate Builder 'Show Dog Winner' in D.C.
Performance Custom
Garwood Customs is the shop responsible for Alex Quinones' Old Skool, a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 that captured the Performance Custom class in DC. It features a stretched-out rear courtesy of a single-sided 300 Wide Tire Kit by C&S Custom. An Air FX Air Ride System drops it to the ground at the push of a button. The nitrous-fed Gixxer runs a CTS Race front rotor, a Performance Machine rear braking system, and custom Spike fork and yoke caps. Trick PM custom wheels, a high rolling paint job by Team Neyon and a custom leather seat add up to D.C.'s Ultimate Builder Performance Custom winner.
1. Garwood Customs - Old Skool, '06 Suzuki GSX-R 1000
2. Speedworx – Saluda, 2006 Honda CBR
3. JDA Customs - 2007 Suzuki GSXR
Retro Modified
It was time to Whiskey Tango in D.C.'s Retro Modified class as Devon Eckert's 1982 Yamaha XS650 rolled out Sunday night the winner. Eckert's ratted-out ride features a two-inch backbone drop, a kick out of five degrees on the raked and goosed neck, and its hardtail rear has been extended five inches as well to accommodate the two-inch seat drop. The front of the old XS650 Yamaha sees a XS400 front fork tree and wheel swap. Other goodies include a small plunger for the air ride seat, a custom jockey shift and gas cap, a homemade battery box, taillight, and Pamco ignition.

Modified Street
Leave it to Gio! Blacksmith Motoring Co. is making a habit of capturing the Modified Street class with their 2008 Yamaha Retroliner / Roadliner called El Vendetta. And with good reason. Their hyper-bagger features a 255 hp 120 CI stroker kit, a turbo and competition cams. Special features include a Blacksmith Retroliner front-end conversion kit, Blacksmith front and rear three-piece steel fenders and a swept-down Houdini Illusion beach bar setup. The bike sports an engraved 26-inch front wheel and race-tuned front suspension. The back features a 240mm rear and Bandito rear air ride. To compensate for the power boost, Blacksmith utilized 13-inch rotors with a six-piston caliber to quell the wrath of El Vendetta.

FIA World Rally Championship for Drivers (after 9 of 13 rounds)
FIA World Rally Championship for Manufacturers (after 9 of 13 rounds)
1 – Lewis HAMILTON (Mercedes)2 – Sebastian VETTEL (Red Bull Racing)3 – Mark WEBBER (Red Bull Racing)
Lewis, it was all about timing today and your timing was absolutely perfect.
Lewis Hamilton took pole for Mercedes in a dramatic, rain-swept qualifying session at Spa-Francorchamps.
Four drivers held pole position in the last few seconds of qualifying for tomorrow's Belgian Grand Prix. With spray flying up from the wet track, Nico Rosberg's stellar effort for Mercedes gave him a provisional pole but team-mate Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel had made it across the line just before the chequered flag appeared, giving the huge Spa-Francorchamps crowd an exciting two minutes, waiting to see if they could knock the Monaco and Silverstone winner off top spot.
Conditions possibly improved in those last two minutes, though any gain was marginal. Webber crossed the line first and took P1. He held it for seconds only, however, as Vettel blasted through and took a tenth out of his time. For the briefest instant it was the Red Bull 1-2 that practice pace had suggested – but then Hamilton arrived to take his fifth pole of the season and fourth in succession. His time of 2:01.012 was two-tenths of a second better than Vettel had managed.
"I feel I'm able to find the limits when the conditions are really on the edge," said a jubilant Hamilton. "I pushed quite a lot in the middle sector particularly as I thought I was down three seconds, so I was really caning it."
At the start of Q3, there was a degree of chaos with most of the field going out on Option tyres. With drops of rain already falling, it was a gamble – and one that failed to pay off with the slick runners all returning to the pits at the end of their out lap. "It was quite entertaining because it started to rain pretty heavily," observed Vettel.
The one exception was Paul di Resta. Starting the session on intermediates he had the track to himself and took P1 by default. With the possibility of conditions worsening, he had an excellent chance of repeating Giancarlo Fisichella's 2009 feat and taking a Force India pole at Spa – but the rain receded and he had to settle for fifth position.
Behind Di Resta, Jenson Button took sixth for McLaren, ahead of Lotus's Romain Grosjean and Kimi Räikkönen who took seventh and eighth, while row five was an all-Ferrari affair with Fernando Alonso ninth and Felipe Massa tenth.
Qualifying had taken place in mixed conditions from the start: rain began to fall a few minutes before Q1 began. It was no surprise, though, as the radar had been showing the weather on its way for some time. It meant the session began on intermediate tyres but when the rain ceased partway through the 20minutes, the track began to dry quickly. Backmarkers with nothing to lose took a risk and ventured out on dry tyres. It paid dividends for the Marussia pair of Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi who qualified for their first Q2. Caterham's Giedo van der Garde also made the cut. Eliminated were the Williams of Pastor Maldonado and Valtteri Bottas, Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniel Ricciardo from Toro Rosso, Sauber's Esteban Gutiérrez and Caterham's Charles Pic.
Q2 was dry and saw the times drop by over ten seconds. With three drivers out of position and unlikely to challenge for a place in Q3, the battle was essentially between 13 cars competing for ten places. In a hard-fought battle the drivers to drop out were Nico Hülkenberg for Sauber in 11th, Force India's Adrian Sutil in 12th and McLaren's Sergio Pérez 13th. They were joined by Van der Garde 14th, Bianchi 15th and Chilton 16th, each of the latter three enjoying a career-best qualifying position.

Sebastian Vettel set the fastest time of the final free practice session in Belgium, finishing just a tenth of a second clear of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso with Mark Webber third for Red Bull Racing.
Run under overcast skies the session began in traditional fashion with the field beginning with longer runs, this weekend conducted on Pirelli's hard compound tyre.
The incident-free opening 45 minutes saw Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne at the top of the timesheet with a lap of 1:49.479, almost three tenths of a second ahead of Vettel, with Kimi Raikkonen third.
Vergne has been in impressive form so far and continued the good work when the field made the switch to the quicker medium tyre in the final quarter of the one-hour session.
Adrian Sutil was the first out on the option tyre and promptly jumped to P1 with a lap 1:49.135, almost 1.6 seconds quicker than his best lap on the hard compound. His time was swiftly eclipsed by Alonso, with team-mate Felipe Massa slotting into P2. Webber then split the Ferraris. Vergne was determined not to be left out, however, and the Frenchman joined the party by taking third place from Massa.
Vettel, though, was close behind the Toro Rosso man and lapping quicker. A solid first part of the lap was followed by the morning's quickest middle sector and that gave the Red Bull Racing driver the platform to steal P1 from Alonso with just over a minute to go. The Spaniard, already out of his Ferrari and watching the action in the Ferrari garage looked on impassively.
With Massa holding on to fifth, sixth place went to McLaren's Jenson Button. Esteban Gutierrez impressed for Sauber with seventh place, ahead of Lotus's Romain Grosjean. Nico Rosberg took ninth place, with Mercedes looking less than comfortable in the conditions – team-mate Lewis Hamilton finished 12th – and Kimi Raikkonen was tenth for Lotus.

it would appear we are doomed and past the point of no return

And Surprise-Surprise!!! 7 of these States voted for Obama.
This Just Proves that The Majority of Americans have No Intentions of Making a Better Independent Life for Themselves and their Families and are content Living on The Tax Payers Dime for Eternity!

What's the single easiest way to perpetually maintain a self-serving career in politics? Keep handing out EBT, Section 8 housing, Cash Assistance, Cellphones, Health Insurance, etc like candy to the uninspired and lazy American sheep who will give you your vote so they can keep beating the system while avoiding work and any type of responsibility or accountibility. What a fine country we live in. We should be ashamed of ourselves.

It's the career parasites that are spoiling it for everyone else and being human, most people GENERALIZE the Bad & are Apathetic &/or ignorant of the Good.
Up here, it's SINGLE MOTHERS that are consuming 75% of the entire budget, this "Culture" (an over-reaction of Woman's Lib) should be discouraged. Many (most?) of them have "issues" with past relationships and are 'imprinting' this Bad KARMA onto their children with Big Pharma, Psychiatry & Insurance making 'A Killing on their Bad Living'.
Big Medicine, Legal & Enforcement are also complicit.

- Jenny Lee 2013/01/09 18:18:47Yes+1If the system pushed for more restrictions it would not be as appealing to those who choose to abuse the system. Cash should not be allowed, all money given should be on a debit card with restrictions on what can be purchased and no ATM ability. Food stamps should go back to only being used to purchase basic necessities, if you can't cook learn, don't whine about not being able to purchase microwave meals. When it comes to returns it has to go back in their account, no cash. If I had to give up being able to return an item without a receipt I would be fine, just to know welfare recipients cannot try to return items without a receipt. People abuse the system because, there is no real regulation on it. They are pretty much granted the freedom to spend as they wish and know if they do not marry the father of the baby they get more as a single mother and if they keep having up to five children they get even more benefits. In that particular case those children lose out, to parents who looked at them as a dollar sign rather than a soul that should be cared for and protected.

MERITocracy, if you only use briefly and on occasion, no problem (as most 'ables' are).
It's the career parasites that should have restrictions and be scrutinized .
It's SINGLE MOTHERS that are taking the Lion's Share & be given non-liquidable aids as well as mandatory contraception, this sounds mean, but if they persist on having more children, no increase forthcoming and have their tubes tied as a prerequisite for continuation.

I'm on Disability (autism) but do about 60 hours a month volunteering at several churches (& a mosque) around town to keep my IDLE HANDS busy. Also circulating around this many people may land me some (short or long term) work, good advertising.
Started volunteering at a food bank some years ago and that motivated me enough to land a full-time job for almost three years (had to leave due to arthritis and the shop went Union so I was in the cross-hairs already). Maybe some freelance (I DECLARE my income) or counseling work with other outcasts of society may be in my cards.

- Not a Fundy 2013/01/08 20:53:42No+2I chose no, not because I don't believe it isn't a problem but because I honestly don't know how big a problem it is. Does anyone have any official stats that show for example what the percentage of federal spending is actually spent fraudulently on welfare? I don't know for sure but I would bet it's a very small portion of overall spending.
+6Unfortunately the government doesn't want to know those numbers, so we are left to figure it out ourselves. Gallup has been asking Americans this question (how much government spending is waste & fraud) since 1979. Since it is the taxpayers money, they might be the best to ask. In 1979 people thought it was 40% of every dollar, today it is 51% of every dollar. We are spending at a rate of 6.3 trillion dollars this year so almost 3.2 trillion dollars is being wasted. Some wise SOB said recently, "we don't have a spending problem". I think that might be true - we have a stupidity problem.
Again I really wouldn't know but I don't know that 50% of all spending is spent fraudulently. I don't think you are being dishonest I just am not sure if you know for sure either. You are correct that it gets even more convoluted by involving the states as well.

Gingrich Attacks Front-Runner Romney
Newt Gingrich sharpened his attacks on Republican rival Mitt Romney on Sunday. A new poll shows Romney leading the former House speaker just days ahead of Tuesday's presidential primary in Florida.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
Just a little more than a day left before voters in Florida have their say in the GOP primary. The latest polls by the Miami Herald and the Tampa Bay Times show Mitt Romney with an 11-point lead over Newt Gingrich, with Rick Santorum and Ron Paul trailing far behind. Newt Gingrich, who's had trouble getting support from establishment Republicans, picked up a nod from a decidedly non-establishment figure - one of his former rivals, Herman Cain.
HERMAN CAIN: I hereby officially and enthusiastically endorse Newt Gingrich for president of the United States.
RAZ: Gingrich has been campaigning hard this weekend, so has Romney, both men fixing the other in his sights. This morning at a news conference, Gingrich had this to say about the latest polls.
NEWT GINGRICH: The most significant thing in both the polls this morning is that when you add the two conservatives together, we clearly beat Romney. And I think Romney's got a very real challenge in trying to get a majority at the convention. We will go all the way to the convention. I believe the Republican Party will not nominate a pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-tax increase moderate from Massachusetts.
RAZ: Meanwhile, in Naples, Florida, Mitt Romney explained why he thought Gingrich was losing support.
MITT ROMNEY: So, Mr. Speaker, your trouble in Florida is not because the audience is too quiet or too loud, or because you have opponents that are tough. Your problem in Florida is that you worked for Freddie Mac at a time that Freddie Mac was not doing the right thing for the American people.
RAZ: We're joined now by our correspondent Don Gonyea. He's in The Villages. It's north of Tampa in Florida. Don, describe first of all what The Villages is.
DON GONYEA, BYLINE: We're in the central part of the state, and one of the guys who's doing security outside the Gingrich event here, he says there are 85,000 retirees who live here. He said it's the biggest such community in the world. Everything you need is here. A lot of people driving around in golf carts. There's one going past me right now. Single family homes. And you have to be 50 years old, I'm told, to move in here.
RAZ: Got to be a pretty significant, politically powerful place, right, especially at this time of year. I'm assuming all the candidates at some point have been through there.
GONYEA: This is not my first visit to The Villages, this year or in past years. I came through here with George W. Bush. I came here with John McCain. This is a place where you have this concentration of senior citizens, and, of course, that's a very important voting block in Florida. They are active, they vote. A good many of these people here I've talked to have already voted. They've already mailed in their ballots, because they have early voting here. But it's a place where a politician can get a lot of bang for their buck with an appearance.
RAZ: Don, we can hear Newt Gingrich speaking behind you. What are people there telling you about Newt Gingrich? I mean, is the momentum still there, or is it kind of dying down?
GONYEA: This is a friendly crowd here, of course. It's a rally. They've turned out to see Newt. So overwhelmingly, they're Gingrich supporters. But you can feel the momentum that he had coming out of South Carolina has really waned. It's a much different scene here than it was in South Carolina.
RAZ: OK. If Gingrich loses as badly as the polls predict he'll lose in Florida, I mean, is this going to be his waterloo? I mean, I'm not talking about Waterloo, Iowa, Don.
RAZ: We have seen him rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall again. But if he crashes in Florida, I mean, is it different than losing Iowa or New Hampshire?
GONYEA: He can say he's going to go on from here, but he does have to prove that South Carolina was not a fluke for him. And he does not have a lot of money. He does not have a lot of organization. That's been evident here in Florida. And from here, we start to move into caucuses. And we move towards Super Tuesday, where you have multiple contests scattered around the country in multiple states. And you just can't do that by turning in a winning debate performance or by holding town halls. You really have to have the money and organization to speak to people. So once we get out of Florida, it gets a lot harder to do the kind of thing he did in South Carolina.
RAZ: And, of course, the winner of Florida gets a lot of delegates, all of the delegates in Florida.
GONYEA: This is a winner-take-all state, though there is some dispute over how the delegates will be apportioned with the national party. Florida has been kind of butting heads with the national party, both in terms of the delegates and in terms of when they would go on the calendar. But, yes, this is the biggest state to go yet, the biggest prize yet, and the biggest test of an organization and the kind of cash one has on hand.
RAZ: I know that you are with the Gingrich campaign right now, Don, obviously, but you're also following the Romney people. What are they up to today?
GONYEA: Governor Romney has been in Naples and Hialeah, and he ends his day in Pompano Beach. So he's working the state hard, too, and he's being joined by surrogates. He's had John McCain with him. And what we've seen from Romney is much tougher rhetoric aimed directly at Newt Gingrich than we've seen in any of the prior states. And it seems to be paying off big-time for him in the polls, at least.
RAZ: He seems to have shaken off the South Carolina fright. He seems very confident.
GONYEA: It does feel like it is a different Mitt Romney. And again, if Mitt Romney goes on and gets the nomination, we may look back to Florida as the place where he figured out kind of what Mitt Romney the candidate has to look like, has to act like, has to talk like on the stump.
RAZ: That's NPR's national political correspondent Don Gonyea joining us from The Villages in Florida. Don, thanks so much.
GONYEA: It's my pleasure.

For our prepared foods menu we are continuing with Chicken Bone Broth this week and adding fresh ginger to it. Bone broth is basically a stock that is simmered for at least 24 hours so that the bones start to disintegrate and release nutrients, proteins and valuable minerals in a form your body can easily absorb. We will continue making it for at least a few more weeks.
Bone broth is known to have many health benefits, including boosting the immune system and fighting inflammation, courtesy of anti-inflammatory amino acids. There is a wealth of information on bone broths. Here are just a couple of articles:
The broth is available for Tuesday pick up, and amounts are somewhat limited.
We are making our Moussaka again, which was a big hit last time, both vegetarian and with ground turkey. A Baked Falafal is a nice way to enjoy this dish without the deep frying, and Crab Cakes round out the menu. These are loaded with crab meat, with a minimum of gluten-free bread crumbs and vegan mayonnaise to hold them together and keep them gluten and dairy free.
To order and have your food all packaged up for you, please see the "Order Meals for Pick Up" link. Or if you are in the neighborhood, stop in to raid our fridge!

Read More Unable to get an album released between 1995 and 1999, Aimee Mann suddenly had three on the market within 12 months, including this September 2000 compilation. There is, of course, a certain irony that the current configuration of a record company that gave her so much trouble (demanding changes to her third album, refusing to release it, dropping her, and then forcing her to buy back the album's master tapes) is now attempting to cash in on the exposure she received due to her 1999 Academy Award nomination for "Save Me" from Magnolia. Mann's music is catchy, guitar-based pop/rock, which sounds like it should be at the top of the charts. But since Mann has reached the Top 40 only twice in 15 years, she has largely been subject to standard operating procedure in the major-label record business. Journalists have howled largely on critical grounds, and Ultimate Collection should give them more ammunition despite its limits. One of her two hits, "What About Love," is not included, and only three tracks have been licensed from her most popular period. Two regular albums doesn't seem like much material to choose from for a best-of, so to make up for the limited choice of material, compilation producer Rhonda Shields has pulled a variety of stray tracks, turning this into a virtual rarities album. Several songs were contributed to movie soundtracks, and five tracks are drawn from the non-LP B-sides of singles. Thus, even those who have copies of Whatever and I'm With Stupid will need this album, and they will find that the rarities are some of her better performances. Aimee Mann is unquestionably one of the most impressive singer/songwriters of her time, but her lyrics of bitter romantic complaint may destine her to a limited audience. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Read Less
