Dual Boot Macbook
I bought a 13 inch Macbook that was in the local campus newspaper just before the end of the school year. The Macbook is partitioned with Windows XP Pro. I can access either OS by holding down the option key on boot.
Here is the problem though. The XP OS has only a 5g drive and I really need a larger Windows drive. I have read about Boot Camp and how to add the Windows OS but can I re-partition the drive and make it bigger now that the Macbook has the two OSs or do I need to start all over?
The other problem I have is my new Lab puppy got a hold of my Mac OS disk and has destroyed the DVD The current OS version on the Mac is, Mac OS X, 10.4.11. The Macbook is a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo.
I would really like to wipe the entire drive clean and start completely over, but this will require me buying a new OS. This brings me to ask this question, what OS should I buy and will I be able to completely wipe the drive clean? Or should I just partition the drive to a larger drive?
Personally I would like to begin anew and have a fresh new install ;D
I don't think you can increase the partition once it has been partitioned (not positive about this but am sure someone else on here knows).
You have Tiger so you cannot directly upgrade to Snow Leopard. Your best bet would be to buy the mac box set which includes Snow Leopard, iWork 09 and iLife 09. As you will probably end up wanting these programs anyway!
If you want to start fresh (which is probably a good idea) then go into boot camp assistant and unpartition the disk and then install Mac OSX fresh. If you do get Snow Leopard don't insert the disk when you are logged on as this will do an upgrade install. Switch on, hold the option key, and insert the disk.
Then, like u said you'll have to buy yourself a new Install DVD.
Just remember that if you want to dual boot, you should also own/get a microsoft licence to run windows.
The other way is to open Disk Util and make a copy of the Bootcamp partition on an ext HDD, repartition your drive in Bootcamp, and then restore the disk image into the Bootcamp partition.
Hope this helps...:)
I am a Windows guy wanting to make a move over to see the other side. I do own my own versions of Windows. If I understand correctly I can not do an upgrade of which is fine with me. I would rather do a new clean install.
So I can buy, Snow Leopard, iWork 09 and iLife 09 as a package deal and install with no problems? Will this completely wipe everything from the previous owner? Currently his name is embedded at boot, will the new install bring the computer back to like new?
Sorry for the dumb questions... Mac is entirely new to me and a different breed from Windows... :)
If you have your own windows versions, then it would be best to start over. Buy the mac box set and then do the following:
Don't forget to backup any data that you want that is on the computer, before doing this.
Doing a clean install will make the computer boot up as if it was new.
You can then go into the boot camp assistant again and partition the disk and install windows.
Hope this helps.
Good post mikey...;)
If I understand correctly I need to enter Boot Camp Assistant and delete the partition before I do a new fresh install so that the OS X recognizes the entire drive, is this correct? If so when I tried to start BCA I get a message that BCA is a beta version and the software does not work any longer.
Here is what I have
I have a new disc of Mac OS X Snow Leopard
I have Windows XP Pro SP3
I have what I think is the latest Boot Camp 2.1
I also read that not to worry about Boot Camp as it will get installed once I put the new OS, but I want to make sure I have full access to the entire hard drive. So what should I do? Do I just install the new OS and then open BCA then delete the partition and then do another new install?
Yepz, that's exactly what you should do...:)
make a fresh install, and you should be able to use bootcamp, although I'm not sure why you cannot use it now, did you download this one?
hope this helps
When I bought the Macbook Windows XP was already installed as was Boot Camp. I tried again to start BCA and I get the same message that its a beta version and is nolonger available to run...
Can I re-install BC? if so how do I run it? I download BC to a thumbdrive and have the 215MB EXE file... I am completely new to Mac's....

Circuit Skills: Surface Mount Devices
Collin shows us how to make a surface mount phototheremin.
This project by Collin uses a familiar schematic — the light-sensitive oscillator (aka "phototheremin") as originally described in Forrest Mims' book Timer, Op Amp and Optoelectronic Circuits & Projects. Once he got the hang of securing each part in place for soldering, the rest of the process was more or less straightforward, and the circuit worked the first time he tested it.

Noynoy to go on 'retreat' before baring 2010 plans
Senator Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III announced Wednesday that he will be going on a "spiritual retreat" over the weekend to finalize his decision for the 2010 elections, extinguishing expectations that he would immediately accept the offer of his "best friend" Sen. Manuel "Mar" Roxas II as the Liberal Party's standard bearer.
'Hindi ko tatalikuran ang hamong ito'
Ngayong umaatras muli ang ating bayan patungo sa bangin ng kapahamakan, panahon muli upang manindigan! Panahon ding maghanda para sa isang mas mahaba at matinding laban, kung saan walang bibitiw hanggang makamit natin ang pagbabagong ating hinahangad.
Hindi ko po tatalikuran ang hamong ito! Sana'y kasama ko kayong lahat sa Laban.
See full transcript of Noynoy's speech here
Ngayong umaatras muli ang ating bayan patungo sa bangin ng kapahamakan, panahon muli upang manindigan! Panahon ding maghanda para sa isang mas mahaba at matinding laban, kung saan walang bibitiw hanggang makamit natin ang pagbabagong ating hinahangad.
Hindi ko po tatalikuran ang hamong ito! Sana'y kasama ko kayong lahat sa Laban.
His announcement was reminiscent of the decision of his mother, former president Corazon Aquino, who went on a retreat in 1985 before giving in to the public clamor for her to run for the presidency during the snap elections in 1986. Yet it also struck many as a curious move after Roxas seemed to set the stage for the momentous start of another Aquino presidential campaign.
"Hindi po madali ang misyong ito dahil matindi ang kabulukang bumabalot sa ating lipunan. Pero hindi po imposible (This mission isn't easy especially since the corruption enveloping our society is so widespread. But this isn't impossible), " Aquino said in a press conference in Club Filipino in San Juan City.
On Tuesday, Roxas held a press conference at the same time in the same venue to announce that he was giving up his ambition of pursuing the presidency in next year's elections, and would throw his support behind Noynoy instead.
"Ang usapin pong ito ay 'di tungkol sa akin o kay Mar. Ang mahalaga pong malaman ay kung kasama namin kayo sa misyon ng tunay na pagbabago," (This is not an issue about me or Mar. The more important issue here is if all of you are with us in this mission for genuine change) Aquino said.
"Sa dakong ito, dapat pong tanungin natin ang ating mga sarili: handa rin ba akong mag-sakripisyo para sa bayan? Sa mga nalalabing araw ng aming pagluluksa at pagdadalamhati sa pagpanaw ng aming mahal na ina, sisikapin ko pong taus-pusong sagutin ang katanungang ito. Sana maunawaan po ninyo ito," Aquino added.
(At this point, we should be asking ourselves: Am I ready to sacrifice for the country? In the remaining days of our grief and mourning for the death of our beloved mother, I will strive to answer this question. I hope you understand.)
"This weekend, I will be going on a spiritual retreat. As I pray for discernment and divine guidance, I urge you to pray with me so that you too can assess your own readiness to take part in the difficult struggle ahead. We are in this together," Aquino said.
"Hindi ako aatras sa hamong ito (I won't back down from this challenge)," he added.
When asked by GMANews.TV if he had enough funds for the 2010 polls, Aquino said he would rely on people's support to fuel his possible campaign, making long-time political observers again recall the example of his mother and her "Piso para kay Cory" fund raising campaign so she could challenge the Marcos political machine in 1986.
"If this is the campaign based on what the people want, they will run the campaign… And perhaps at a certain point in time, if we are on the true course then they will provide for the things that…. politicians would have to pay for," he said.
In 2001, Noynoy's declared net worth as Tarlac representative was only P10.4 million, based on government data. After seven years, when he was already in the Senate, Aquino's declared net worth only increased by 37 percent to P13.9 million. Of the 23 senators, he was ranked 16th, with poll survey leader Sen. Manuel Villar topping the list with a declared net worth of over P1 billion.
In 2004, the declared net worth of Cory' son was P12.6 million or about one-sixth of the P74.4 million declared net worth of Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel "Mikey" Arroyo, the son of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Noynoy and Mikey both belong to haciendero families of Tarlac and Negros Occidental, respectively. [See: No money for 2010, Noynoy wants people to fuel campaign]
Among the political observers present at the press conference were Rep. Nereus Acosta, political analysts Alex Magno and Joel Rocamora, Sen. Rodolfo Biazon and son Muntinlupa Rep. Rufino Biazon, and Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo.
Popular support for Aquino to seek a higher government post has snowballed in the weeks after the death of his mother last August 1, as the multitudes at the wake and in the streets gave Aquino supporters hope that "Cory magic" could be harnessed for a run at the presidency.
A signature campaign has been launched to persuade Aquino to run for president. The group is headed by Edgardo Roces, son of newspaperman Joaquin "Chino" Roces, the same man who led the "piso-piso" fund-raising drive that convinced his mother to run for president in the 1986 snap elections against strongman Ferdinand Marcos.
Aquino is also enjoying support from various political and civil society groups like Kaya Natin movement led by presidential aspirant and Pampanga Gov. Ed Panlilio; Aksyon Demokratiko party; Heightened Ethic League of the Philippines (Help); and the Tuloy pNoy movement.
Despite the growing support for Aquino, his four sisters were apprehensive over his possible entry into the 2010 presidential race.
Aquino said his sisters, Maria Elena 'Ballsy' Cruz, Aurora Corazon Abellada, Victoria Eliza Dee and Kris Yap were worried that their lives would again be subjected to the vagaries of a family member in the Palace. With the exception of Kris, Noynoy's sisters are famously low-profile personalities who treasure their privacy.
"All are filled with anxieties of being associated again with Malacaňang. Noong panahon ng nanay ko, 28 na diyaryo ang naghahanap ng negative na balita kinabukasan. Ganoon na naman ba (ang mangyayari?) (During my mother's time, 28 newspapers searched for negative news about her to be published the following day. Do we have undergo the same ordeal again?)" he asked.
Earlier, Aquino said three factors would influence his decision on running for president: his ability to guarantee that there will really be meaningful changes for society and the country, the availability of logistics for his electoral campaign, and the sentiments of his four sisters about his presidential bid.
[See video below on Noynoy's answer to Mar Roxas' sacrifice]
'Cory Magic' won't last
Executive Secretary Ermita earlier expressed doubts if the so-called 'Cory Magic' would work wonders for Aquino until the 2010 elections.
Ermita said that while the legacy of Aquino's parents made him the flavor of the month, it was not an indication that his popularity could be translated into votes in the 2010 elections. [See: Palace concedes Liberal Party now 'formidable']
Two analysts interviewed by GMANews.TV also expressed contrasting opinions on the possibility that the popularity of former President Aquino could catapult her son to the country's top post.
Ateneo de Manila University Political Science professor Benito Lim said the "Cory magic" was nothing but "media hype."
Lim said that if Aquino really wants to lead the nation he should present concrete plans and not just bank on his parents' legacy.
"As a congressman and senator he did not even show that he is the new Ninoy Aquino," Lim said. Aquino served as the representative of Tarlac from 1998 to 2007 before he successfully ran for the Senate in the 2007 elections.
Lim described Cory's only son as "odorless, tasteless, and colorless."
But Joel Rocamora, director of the Institute for Popular Democracy said it did not make sense to remove the legacy of his parents because "that is who he is."
He also reminded Aquino's critics that Marcos used to criticize former President Aquino as somebody "na walang alam" (who didn't know anything) just because she was a mere housewife. - with Aie Balagtas See, Amita Legaspi and AR Sabangan, GMANews.TV

'America's Next Top Model's' Hannah on Alexandria making 'All Stars': 'I'd be scared'
It was a surprise to us when the list of models returning for the "America's Next Top Model: All Stars" cycle was released and we saw recently eliminated Alexandria on the list. We already know it pays to bring the drama, but fellow eliminated contestant, Hannah, says she thinks her cast mate is going to give those other models a run for their money.
"I think she'll do really well," Hannah tells Zap2it. "She's already gotten the Landmarks campaign and the 'Warriors in Pink' national service announcement and stuff like that. She's already pretty well established as a controversial roommate and a pretty decent model. So, I would be scared."
Hannah tells us she's actually really good friends with Alexandria, but she's not blind to her ability to create some drama.
"She loves to entertain, and she's also a little bit of - how do I say this - a feather ruffler," Hannah says. "Her personality can come across as abrasive to those who don't understand it. So, that will be really interesting to watch how the new girls have to handle it."
As far as her own Cycle's winner, the college student from Houston, Texas is rooting for Brittani.
"She's kind of the underdog, and I know that she's super passionate about fashion and modeling," she tells us. "She comes from a place that to win 'Top Model' would inspire so many girls that - I think that's a beautiful thing what Brittani is doing. She is also one of the girls that I was closest with in the house, and we were planning on being in the top two the whole entire time. So, when we were in the bottom two together it kind of sucked, but it's good that one of us is in the top two. I'm really glad about that. So, I hope she wins because I think she is the entire 'America's Next Top Model' package."
The "America's Next Top Model" Cycle 16 finale airs Wednesday, May 18 at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.
Are you rooting for Brittani too? And what do you think about Alexandria making the "All Stars" cycle?

Desert Bus is one of several mini-games included in the never-officially-released Sega CD game Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors. The Desert Bus mini-game challenges players to drive Penn and Teller's tour bus from Tuscon, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada... in real time... and at a maximum speed of 45 mph.
It's a task that takes 8 hours to complete, and earns players one point in the game. The task can be completed back and forth as many times as the players can stomach, each time earning one point. The LoadingReadyRun team has pledged that the more money they receive, the longer they will sit and endure this painful, painful game. Over $1,000 USD have already been donated, which guarantees the masochists at least 64 hours of play-time. To see just how crazy they are, check out the gameplay footage after the break.

Tenth SGI Europe Study Session Held in Milan, Italy
From July 19-22, the tenth SGI Europe Study Session was held in the suburbs of Milan, Italy, attended by 480 members from 30 countries throughout Europe. A total of 10,000 people will be attending such study sessions held in different European countries over the summer.
In his message to the opening ceremony held on July 19, SGI President Daisaku Ikeda commended SGI members who are challenging themselves to transform their own lives and take action for the well-being of others and society. Mr. Ikeda also shared a passage from The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin: "Since the Law is wonderful, the person is worthy of respect; since the person is worthy of respect, the land is sacred" (WND-1, 1097) and encouraged participants to have strong faith and contribute to the development of their communities based on the philosophy of the dignity of human life.
One young woman shared her experience of overcoming negative feelings toward her father and deepening her understanding of life and death through his passing. She quoted a passage from one of Nichiren's writings: "Therefore I should first of all learn about death, and then about other things" (WND, vol. 2, p.759).
SGI Study Department Chief Katsuji Saito lectured on passages from The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin such as "On Prolonging One's Life Span," "The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon" and "The Selection of the Time."
SGI Europe Study Department Chief Hideaki Takahashi and SGI Europe Youth Committee Chair Tae Takahashi also spoke.
On July 22, a special lecture was held for SGI-Italy members, which drew an attendance of 1,800 people. The following day, 1,000 SGI-Germany members gathered for a study session in Neu-Isenburg on the outskirts of Frankfurt. Mr. Saito lectured on "The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon" on both occasions.

Clash of the Titans Review
Played on:
It's sort of a given these days that big action movies have to have their own video games. It's also a given that gamers groan at the sight of said games, knowing them to be nothing more than supporting revenue-generators, destined for blandness. Who knows what Warner Bros. Interactive had in mind when deciding to publish Clash of the Titans: The Videogame, but when you play it, it's obvious the developer, Game Republic, did its level best to exceed the limits of your average movie title. On occasion, the effort pays off; for the most part though, the game is a flat, interactive retread of a so-so film and offers few surprises.
Clash of the Titans: The Videogame is a third-person action adventure game based on the recently-released (and generally panned) remake of the 1981 cult film classic. The game follows the plot of the movie, but expands on it a little, adding more of the fiction as well as a hefty load of chore-like missions. You play mechanical owl Bubo, and spend the entire game crapping golden gears and making cute little boop-boop noises. (OK, not reallyalthough that might have made for an interesting game.) You play noble but boring fisherman-turned-hero Perseus, and as in the movie, your main goal is to save the Princess Andromeda from Hades' vengeance. You start on your home island of Paxos where you learn something about combat by fighting off the monsters that periodically invade your village. It's all fish-heads and ouzo until soldiers of the defiant King Kepheus arrive. Their blasphemous actions provoke the wrath of the Gods and after your village is decimated, you're dragged to Argos along with them.
As in the movie, King Kepheus of Argos enrages Hades, thus jeopardizing his daughter's life and you decide (for no good reason) to stick your well-tanned neck out to save her. Before you can do that however, you have to prove yourself good enough (to go on a suicide mission?) not only to the king, but to seemingly everyone else in Argos. Draco, the leader of the king's guardsand the guards themselvesset you to performing a series of arena challenges and monster-drubbing expeditions and this sets the tone for most of the game. In virtually every area, you work from a central hub where NPCs loiter, hoping somewhat optimistically to send you to your death. Most of the missions they give you entail killing things; in that sense, the game isn't particularly inventive. Every mission, you run through a city or the mountains or a swamp or the Underworld, periodically being held back by glowing barriers until you kill X number of enemies. This is a sure formula for tedium and the game tries to get around it via its unusual combat system, which is simultaneously too simple and too complex.
Part one of the combat system involves weapons. Many, many weapons. You can carry four of them at once: a main bladed weapon that you never switch out, and three changeable sub-weapons, including items that can replenish your health. There are 80 sub-weapons in the game (including swords, bows, axes, hammers and other more magical doo-dads) which you gain by beating down various enemies. When enemies take enough damage, an onscreen prompt tells you to seize their weapon. You do this by holding L1, which starts a finisher/Quick Time event that you complete by hitting the X, Square or O buttons in a timely fashion. A successful seize grants you seize points specific to the type of weapon you've taken, and these points are used for weapon upgrades. Also needed to upgrade weapons are things called gifts", (essentially materials) which are dropped by defeated enemies. To use these upgraded instruments of death, you need "soul" power, which is not a dance show from the 70's, but is instead a blue glow that you leech out of enemies using some kind of inexplicable demi-god suction.
Part two of the combat system involves the over 100 enemy types you'll face in the game. During your quest to defeat the Kraken, you'll encounter armored skeletons, succubi, centaurs, wisps and all manner of other non-friendlies, all of which are susceptible (or invulnerable) to different attacks. It's up to you to figure out which attacks work on which enemies and so much of your time will be spent swapping out sub-weapons. For instance, undead warriors are weakest against weapons made of bone while naked stone statues that suddenly come to life and try to sear your cuirass off with their eye lasersthose are best handled with a giant stone hammer. This ambitious combat design, encompassing so many weapon/enemy match-ups as well as so many weapon upgrades is occasionally entertaining, but is more often tedious. True, it's cool to have lots of weapons to choose from, and much effort was obviously made to create a wide range of weapons with different combat animations and finishers. Despite this, (and the fact that every weapon comes with its own special attacks) one weapon feels much like another and each fight becomes a test of button-mashing endurance.
Another combat-related downer has to do with the ranged weapons, namely bows. Aiming and using bows is just too cumbersome to really be of much use, especially considering how aggressive most enemies are. By the time you've pulled out your bow, recovered from the disorientation caused by the sudden camera change, and maneuvered the sluggish targeting reticule into place, you're already dead. Overall, the sub-weapon system is a nice idea, and it does mix things up having to swap them out; however, the game's pacing is often killed when a seemingly impervious enemy has you repeatedly stopping the fight to rummage through your weapon stash. And speaking of pacing...two even bigger pacing killers are the many similar style missions and the too-closely-spaced boss fights. After cramping your fingers for fifteen minutes pounding on a giant two-headed dog, you'll think you've earned a break--only to have a Cyclops lumber in, forcing you to do the same thing all over again.
Combat may be questionable but where Clash of the Titans: The Videogame does succeed is in its artwork. The amount of work it took to create the game can't be denied, encompassing as it does, all of the locations seen in the film as well as all of the film's characters. All of the main character models are very well done and the likenesses are good. All except for oddly enough, Perseus, who veers left of the handsome Sam Worthington to end up looking more like a wall-eyed jarhead. The game's voice acting is also well done, in spite of the obvious lack of original film actors, and the development team deserves credit for the amazing number of cutscenes in the game. In addition to the ones needed to move the story along, there's one to set up every single mission you undertake as well as some dramatic finishers for every boss monster, and these provide convincing evidence of the effort put into making the game.
In the end though, Clash of the Titans: The Videogame fails to captivate due to what could be called sound and fury syndromea thing many big budget game and movie productions suffer from. It's a kind of too-muchness that comes from trying to do too many things and not doing anything particularly well. The game's combat system is simply over-designed for the kind of game it is, and the kind of audience it seeks to attract. 80 weapons feel like 40 weapons too many and a glut of enemies and cookie-cutter missions sap the excitement from combat, making it a chore.
Movie games have a generally shady reputation and as a result, rarely get a fair shake with the gaming public. Sadly, Clash of the Titans: The Videogame, while much more polished and ambitious than most movie-based titles, is still unable to buck the trend. In spite of the game's indebtedness to the film, it tries to become a viable action title by expanding on the story, presenting quality artwork and creating a combat system more complex than you'd expect from a mere movie title; still, it misses the mark. Even with thirty hours of gameplay (including challenge modes and DLC) Clash of the Titans: The Videogame fails to reach the heights of Olympus and instead languishes in Limbo.

Washington, We Have a Revenue Problem
This piece is the first in a six-part series on taxation and a joint project by The American Prospect and its publishing partner, Demos.
The United States has a revenue problem. Taxes at all levels of government are too low to balance budgets and, more important, to ensure America's future prosperity and cope with an aging population. While many political and policy leaders argue that future revenues should reflect "historic norms," this is a flawed assumption on which to base long-term fiscal planning.
Tax revenues have accounted for around 18 percent of GDP since World War II, and 18.3 percent over the past 30 years. The budget released by Paul Ryan and the House Budget Committee proposes average revenue levels at this same level—18.3 over the next decade. (Although an analysis by the Tax Policy Center found that the average would in fact be 15.4 percent.) The Simpson-Bowles plan, released in late 2010, proposed average revenues of 19.3 percent through 2020. Meanwhile, the Obama Administration's 2013 budget proposal sets revenues at 19.2 percent of GDP over the next decade.
All three of these proposals would provide inadequate funding to the federal government. Indeed, each creates a funding shortfall and continued deficits: Simpson-Bowles projects average deficits of 2.8 percent of GDP; the Obama budget, 3.3 percent; and the Ryan plan 1.7 percent. While deficit spending at such levels is acceptable, these numbers are testament to the simple fact that revenue levels at, or even slightly above, historical levels will lead to trillions of dollars in new debt over the next decade. By its own estimates, even the Ryan budget would add $4 trillion to the debt over the next decade—realistically, that figure would likely be much higher given the difficulty of making the deep cuts the Tea Party leader suggests.
Looking backward, we also see that "historic norms" of revenue over the past thirty years have been too low, which is why the federal government amassed $12 trillion in debt during this time. The only period, and it was fleeting, that the United States achieved a balanced budget was between 1999 and 2001, when taxes hovered around 19 to 20 percent of GDP for several years. The inability to get by on average revenues of 18.3 percent of GDP for the past 30 years is noteworthy because that period spans five different Republican and Democratic administrations and various configurations of partisan control of Congress. This period also included concerted efforts to cut or restrain federal spending, with this becoming an ostensible centerpiece agenda of the Republican Party, which controlled the White House for a majority of this time and both houses of Congress for about a third of this period.
In short, the federal government has raised too little revenue compared to the spending levels desired by both political parties. Even without the major challenges surely to come our way, the record points to an obvious need for higher revenues. An aging population and intensified global competition intensifies will only compound this need.
The Boomers Retire
There is no historical precedent for the graying of the U.S. population that will take place in coming years, which will put new strains on public finances—mainly at the federal level, but also at the state and local level. As the Boomers retire, the share of the U.S. population over 65 will increase from 13 percent today to 19.3 percent by 2030; the number of Medicare beneficiaries will rise from 47 million to 80 million.
The number of Americans receiving Social Security will rise by a similar magnitude, while the ratio of workers to each Social Security beneficiary will fall from 3.4 to 2.1. And because nearly half of all Baby Boomers have not saved enough for retirement, the pressure to maintain and expand Social Security benefits will be intense (as opposed to cutting such benefits, as some suggest.)
The aging population will also put huge strains on Medicaid, as the population of seniors living in nursing homes doubles or triples between now and 2030. A variety of smaller federal, state, and local-government programs that provide a safety net to low-income seniors will also need to be expanded. Overall, even with major reforms to control health-care spending and some reductions in current entitlement benefits, there is simply no way around the fact that the United States faces a hugely expensive demographic transition that will necessitate higher levels of public spending and revenue to match it.
Rising Global Competition
The United States is also in new terrain in terms of global economic competition. Leading rivals are making large-scale investments in human and physical capital, and failure to keep up—which has already diminished living standards for many Americans—would have profoundly negative ramifications. Reduced public investment has already put the U.S. at a disadvantage. The United States spends less on education, as a percentage of GDP, than a number of other countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which tries to promote economic growth among its 34 member countries. Not surprisingly, we are falling behind in key areas. The U.S. now ranks behind the majority of OECD countries in the percentage of young workers who have degrees in science, engineering, and math, and also lags in the proficiency of school-age students in these areas. While the United States once led the world in the number of young workers with college degrees, it now ranks 12th among OECD countries.
The story is similar on infrastructure, another crucial foundation for prosperity. While China puts in thousands of miles of high-speed rail and builds the most advanced airports in the world, and while South Korea has achieved nearly universal broadband access, the United States spends less today on infrastructure as a percentage of GDP than it did in previous eras in which it faced much less economic competition. It lags behind other advanced countries both in how much it spends on infrastructure and the sophistication of its transportation systems. According to one recent study, the U.S. needs to spend $2 trillion just to repair maintain its deteriorating infrastructure. To spent as much on infrastructure as the average among countries in the European Union would require several trillion dollars in additional spending over the next decade.
Public Expectations of Government
What's also different about today is that Americans have expansive expectations of government. Although polls show that the public distrusts government, and believes that much public spending is wasteful, Americans strongly back the most expensive programs, Social Security and Medicare. Majorities of the public oppose drastic cuts to these programs. Medicaid, commonly seen as less popular, also commands strong support when Americans understand how large a share of spending on this program goes to support seniors in nursing homes.
The public is enthusiastic about other areas of government spending as well. Large majorities support spending on education, veterans, food safety, air-traffic control, parks, and space exploration. In general, Americans also favor a strong military and national-security establishment. The areas of government that the public dislikes, most notably foreign aid, account for a very small fraction of government spending.
Higher Revenues Also Needed at the State and Local Level
It's not just the federal government that will need to raise and spend more money in coming decades; it is also state and local governments. Indeed, spending at this level is arguably more crucial to our future prosperity. In the fiscal year 2012, state and local governments spent a combined total of $3.1 trillion, an amount equal to the federal total when one takes into account the $580 billion that the federal government transferred to states and localities. A large share of state and local spending is what can be called "social capital": investments in the very things that will help fuel future growth, such as education, housing, transportation infrastructure, and parks. Seventy-five percent of all spending on transportation and water infrastructure is by state and local governments and 90 percent of K-12 education spending is by state and local governments.
What's alarming, though, is that state and local social capital spending has declined over the past 15 years, primarily because of a revenue crunch. While aggregate state and local revenue has remained largely unchanged as a percentage of GDP since the 1990s, state and local "non-social capital spending"—health care, pensions, and debt—has been increasing rapidly over the past 15 years, causing the share of spending devoted to social capital to decline. If state and local government spent the same percentage of their budgets on social capital investments in 2009 as they did in 1996, they would have spent $187.6 billion more on the building blocks for our future prosperity. The fiscal crisis that beset the states has exacerbated this situation, but this is a long-term trend.
The levels of future tax revenues envisioned by most political leaders in Washington and state capitals are certain to be inadequate given new challenges facing the United States. Much higher revenues will be needed if the nation wishes to stay economically competitive in a globalized economy and offer basic security to the largest generation of retirees in its history. Controlling health-care and pension costs and other kinds of spending—particularly defense—is imperative, but even substantial savings in these areas will not forestall the need for higher revenues levels than most political leaders now wish to contemplate.
What levels of revenue will actually be needed? Revenues would need to be 22 percent of GDP on average over the next decade just to achieve fiscal balance under either the Simpson-Bowles or Obama Administration budget plans, both of which cut spending in important areas. Avoiding deep cuts and actually increasing public investment in the foundations of prosperity would require federal tax revenues closer to 24 percent of GDP. Meanwhile, revenues at the state and local levels would also need to rise. All told, the United States may be looking at combined federal, state, and local revenue needs in the range of 40 percent of GDP during coming decades as the Boomers retire, depending upon how much debt is considered acceptable.

If taxes would solve problems, then all the world's problems would have been solved long ago.
You need to think further outside the box, rather than reapplying the same failures as a new solution.

Taxes are fairly irrelevant considering how fast the national debt is being increased. In any event, if taxes on the rich are increased, they do not really pay them. They do not change their standard of living in any way. The only thing that will happen is that the cost of whatever they get their money from will increase by the amount of the increase in their taxes, and we will pay it when we buy their product or service. People who work for a living pay all taxes. But an economy based on borrowing trillions of dollars every year makes any arguments over taxes not even worth discussing. What Americans are going to have to do is start paying the debt directly, completely bypassing party politicians, who have no motivation to do anything except increase the debt. What Americans need to do instead of sending money to party politicians is to send the money to
Bureau of the Public Debt
P.O. Box 2188
Parkersburg, West Virginia
Last year more than three million dollars were donated to this worthy cause. This is certainly significant. If the people donating were contributing fifty dollars each, as many as 60,000 Americans are trying to pay the debt instead of increasing it. The only question remaining is what attitude the parties will take. Since both major parties enrich their privileged classes through money borrowed on national credit, what remains to be seen is whether the parties will take the position that trying to pay the debt is a form of disloyalty or treason. Well, we will just have to see what direction party leadership takes. My personal opinion is that they will not because they need that $3,000,000 of real money in order to keep running their scam.

Taxes are not irrelevant-The National Archives has just released a once-secret report that helps us understand how incredibly much we today coddle the wealthiest among us.
he newly released 1943 data make for absolutely stunning reading. We have simply never had clearer evidence of just how much America used to expect out of individual wealthy Americans — and just how little, by comparison, we expect out of our wealthy today.
We learn, for instance, that 1941's top executive at IBM, Thomas Watson, collected $517,221 in compensation that year, about $7.7 million in current dollars. Watson paid 69 percent of his total 1941 income in federal income tax.
Last year, today's chief exec at IBM, Sam Palmisano, took home $24.3 million for his executive labors. We don't know how much income above that sum Palmisano reported in 2009, or exactly how much of that total he paid in taxes.
But we do know that the 13,374 Americans who reported incomes over $10 million in 2008, the latest year with IRS stats available, paid an average 24.1 percent of their taxable incomes in federal income tax.
In other words, IBM CEO Palmisano last year took home, after adjusting for inflation, over three times more than his predecessor Thomas Watson took home in 1941. Yet Watson in 1941 paid almost three times more of his income in federal income taxes than Palmisano likely paid in 2009.
Or consider the IRS report data on Carl Swebilius, the 1941 top gun at High Standard Manufacturing, a corporation flush with war-time defense contracts. Swebilius that year made the contemporary equivalent of $9.4 million from High Standard. He paid 73 percent of his total overall income in federal taxes.
The closest counterpart to Swebilius in Corporate America today? That might be Robert Stevens, the CEO at defense contractor Lockheed Martin. Stevens made $21.6 million last year. Over the last three years, he has annually averaged $30.5 million, over triple the 1941 inflation-adjusted Swebilius take-home.
Again, we don't know exactly how much in federal taxes Stevens paid last year. He most likely, given the IRS figures for his income cohort, paid a bit over 20 percent of his total income in federal income taxes, less than one-third the 73 percent of income that Swebilius paid out in federal taxes in 1941.
In that year of world war, America's wealthy faced an 81 percent tax rate on income in the highest tax bracket. That top rate would move to 88 percent on income over $200,000 in 1942 and 94 percent in 1944 and 1945.
Today, by contrast, the top marginal rate in the U.S. tax code sits at just 35 percent, inspite of an ongoing war in two arenas. If Congress lets the Bush tax cuts for income over $250,000 expire the end of this month, the top rate would move to 39.6 percent in 2011, still less than half the top rate in effect 70 years ago at the start of World War II.
Democracy cannot be safe, President Franklin Roosevelt warned Congress in 1938, "if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself."
The richest 1.5 percent of Americans, FDR would go on to note in that 1938 message, were raking in as much income as everyone in America's bottom 47 percent combined.
Our contemporary super rich, research from Berkeley economist Emmanuel Saez documents, are actually taking home a substantially higher share of America's income than their counterparts back in FDR's time.
Americans of FDR's time worried deeply about the concentration of economic power. Today, 70 years later, we have cause for concern even greater.

I thought that article was so compelling that I copied it to my document file and forgot to name the writer.......however, every word rings true. When you have two wars and CUT taxes rather than raise them, you end up with a deficit. Intelligent leaders in the past knew that. They also knew that it is not unusual for the wealthier income bracket to make money during war time while the middle and lower income brackets fight those wars, incur the hardships, physical and mental, along with their families. To stiff those who fought with higher taxes rather than the group that usually Makes money from wars doesn't seem 'cricket' somehow, now does it? Plus, it hurts the economy. People who live pretty much paycheck to paycheck (with some fortunate few who can save a few dollars) those are the ones who are likely spending in the USA for the everyday things they need to exist...that makes stores stay open and keeps jobs in the workforce. Cut that money, reduce the middle class and the economy slows down. Look at the years and the taxation, and then really think about how the average Joe and family were doing during those tax years and it will all come clear. Taxes DO matter. And so does who is taxed what!

We had a short journey today of 45 miles to permit the group to visit Mammoth Caves. Some of us just enjoyed a slow ride through the country in fine weather and used the day to rest for the three longer days to follow.

The asphalt can be laid without heating and does not buckle in heat or ...
Mammoth Caves for a not so mammoth price
Stopped at Mammoth Cave National Park on our way out of Kentucky. Its the largest cave system in the world and so amazing. Our tour was 2 hours long and only cost us $12 a piece. Some places were so tight you had to squat to get through and others were so wide open it was like being in a cathedral.
Author's note: Sorry the pictures are so fuzzy. There was very little light (naturally) and so the photos came out blurry.
Farm Life
We arrived in Edmonton, KY Friday afternoon. Did a little harvesting of cukes, maters, and blueberries with Mike's host family. We met their mob of sheep and had many conversations about shopping. (Apparently whenever the sheep are moved to a new location the host yelled out something in german that sounded like shopping. So whenever we would yell 'shopping' at the sheep they would bleat back.)

Otaku chefs compete to cook up Mobile Suit Gundam Meccha Tofu NabeWritten by: William on December 7, 2012 at 7:17 pm | In COOL PRODUCTS, CULTURE | No Comments
Gundam nabe, anyone?
In these colder months locals in Japan tend to indulge in some nicely warming nabe hot pots.
But perhaps just plain ol' regular ingredients like onions, mushrooms and so on aren't exciting enough anymore. You can have food-shaped like characters out of anime if you are so inclined.
Following the million-selling success of the previous Zaku Tofu, you can now get your hands on yet another molded tofu, this time in the form of the Z'GOK (Zugokku), one of the mobile suits that feature in the anime franchise Gundam, all courtesy of food-maker Sagamiya. The idea is that you then plonk this oddity in your nabe hot pot to show how your otaku hobbies define your culinary tastes.
Not just nabe, there's nothing to stop you customizing other dishes or making toppings for just about anything really if you are desperate to turn your meal into scenes from the meccha series. If you are fast enough, you can also get your hungry hands on dessert tofus too.
And until January 11th you can even upload your own pictures of your Gundam nabe concoctions to a special Z'GOK nabe website and then prizes will be given for the most original entries. Take a look at some of the entries so far.
So, get your chef's cap on and start cooking up that anime tofu masterpiece!

In 2013, the Lady Cardinals swept Houston Baptist with three straight walk-off wins at Ford Park to get into the Southland Conference Tournament as the No. 5 seed in Lamar's first season of softball since 1987. Now, Lamar faces the daunting task of needing at least one win at conference-leading McNeese State to have a chance at heading to the tournament next weekend in Hammond, La.
There is a scenario where Lamar (20-27 overall, 12-11 Southland) could get in despite being swept, and there is a scenario that would leave the Lady Cardinals out of the postseason even if they win one game this weekend. However, Lamar controls its own destiny, as the Lady Cardinals would be assured of a tournament berth by winning at least two games this weekend.
Lamar would get into the tournament without a win this weekend if Nicholls gets at least two wins at Central Arkansas, Northwestern State wins at least one game against Southeastern Louisiana and the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at Houston Baptist series ends up with any result other than Houston Baptist winning just one of the three meetings.
With one win this weekend, Lamar would get in unless Central Arkansas sweeps Nicholls and Houston Baptist either wins the series against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi or is swept by the Islanders. Lamar, Central Arkansas and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi could end in a three-way tie for fifth place at 13-13. In that case, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Lamar would get the two spots based on head-to-head competition.
A win would also be the 100th victory in program history, when counting the wins compiled from 1983-87 into the mix.
"We put ourselves in this situation," Lamar coach Holly Bruder said of her team's six-game conference losing streak. "We have been swept two weeks in a row. Now we have to regroup and play every inning like it's the championship game."
McNeese State (35-15, 17-6) is already guaranteed to be the top seed in the conference tournament. The Cowgirls are 12-2 at home this season.
Both teams come into the weekend having suffered no-hit losses on Wednesday. Lamar was no-hit in the first game of a doubleheader loss at No. 24 Texas A&M, while McNeese State was no-hit in a loss at No. 17 Baylor.
Alanna DiVitorio leads the McNeese State offense with a .385 batting average. Ashley Modzelewski has team highs of 11 home runs and 42 RBIs. As a team, the Cowgirls are hitting .283.
Jamie Allred is the workhorse of the McNeese State pitching staff, posting a 23-7 record with a 1.45 ERA and two saves. Rachel Smith is 7-4 with a 1.65 ERA.
Beverly Corry, who had her streak of reaching base safely snapped at 20 games in the first contest at Texas A&M, leads Lamar with a .315 batting average and eight home runs.
Tina Schulz (9-13, 3.93) needs just three strikeouts to become just the third pitcher in Lamar history to fan 100 batters. Left-hander Shannon Millman (8-12, 4.91) holds the record with 224 strikeouts.

CLOSING roads cuts traffic, according to a report due out next month. The study, commissioned by London Transport and the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions, suggests that the computer models used by urban transport planners produce the wrong answers.
The report is also bound to lead to calls for the British government's White Paper on transport, due later this year, to include a radical programme of pedestrianisation and expanded public transport.
Computer models used by transport planners effectively assume that closing one road moves traffic elsewhere, causing congestion. But researchers led by Phil Goodwin of University College London, the government's adviser on transport policy, found that this is not what happens. The team analysed 60 cases worldwide where roads had been closed-or their ability to carry traffic significantly reduced.
Goodwin's draft report shows that on average 20 per cent of the traffic that used a road seems ...

MANY deaths in custody that are blamed on the police using excessive force in restraining "difficult" prisoners may in fact be the result of the prisoners' cocaine abuse. This provocative suggestion, from a leading forensic toxicologist, is sure to inflame controversy over one of the most contentious issues in policing.
Steven Karch, assistant medical examiner of the City and County of San Francisco, is convinced that many people who die in custody are suffering from excited delirium (ED). This condition can be caused by the long-term use of stimulants such as cocaine. Sufferers experience a dangerous rise in body temperature, act strangely, appear terrified, yet can show surprising strength. Unless treated quickly, usually by packing them in ice to reduce their body temperature, patients often die from cardiac arrest.
Many deaths from ED in custody are recognised as such. Last year, Canadian researchers found that 18 out of 21 people ...

You spend 23 days a year on your phone, survey says
You spend more than three weeks a year looking at your phone, according to new figures that illustrate just how central to our lives the mobile phone has become.
How long do you spend looking at your phone? More than three weeks a year, according to new figures that indicate how amazing it is you haven't permanently cricked your neck.
Mobile-phone insurance Web site MobileInsurance.co.uk asked 2,314 phone owners how much time they spent each day sending texts, making calls, using apps and games, or doing anything else on their phones. The average answer is 90 minutes per day spent poking and prodding their blower.
That's 32,850 minutes a year, or 22.8 days. Over the course of the average person's life, that's 1,414 days -- 3.9 years -- spent squinting at a little piece of glass and plastic.

Obama announces $5 B in medical research funding
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Scientists will receive $5 billion in government funds for research grants into cures for cancer, heart disease, autism, and other diseases. President Barack Obama made the announcement this morning at the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, in Maryland.
Obama also touted investments in research on the treatment and prevention of heart disease, which he calls âthe leading cause of death in the United States.â
The funding, from the $787 billion economic stimulus package known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, represents the âlargest ever infusion of funding into autism research,â according to the President.
Besides the research and health benefits of the stimulus infusion, Obama says the investments are also good for the economy.
Obama also used his appearance at the NIH to continue the push for reform of the health insurance system. âThatâs why weâre working so hard to pass long-overdue reforms.âcomments powered by Disqus

Existing customers can also get the six-months free by signing up to either of these higher-tier contracts.
Since Netflix is watched streaming over the internet this is ideal for Virgin customers who can get up to 120MB broadband, meaning Full HD with 5.1 surround streamed seamlessly. After the initial free time Netflix will cost £6 a month.
So if you're a Virgin Media user and already have Netflix this will offer you a new way to watch. It will most likely be a straight forward option and, if nothing else, will give your console a well-deserved rest.

text: Seabirds have been shown to transport nutrients from the ocean to the land by nesting in colonies where they defecate and bring food for their offspring. Lead author Neal Michelutti, PI John Smol and others report that common eiders (molluscivores) and arctic terns (piscivores) both transport significant amounts of metal contaminants to their breeding colonies but that the signatures of these differ because of their diets. The work is reported in a recent paper in PNAS.
