Bureau of Labor Statistics releases for August show Kansas maintaining its tie with Missouri for the second highest seasonally-adjusted private-sector job growth rate (1.1%) among regional peer states when comparing the first eight months of 2015 with the same period of time in 2014.
Kansas performs even better regionally when looking at the period starting in December 2012—when Kansas implemented tax reform—and ending with the aforementioned most recent, August 2015 numbers. As the adjacent table shows, Kansas' 3.6% growth rate over the period is second alone, trailing only Colorado's 8.1%.
Our customary shorter-term but deeper dive into the regional jobs numbers by industry sector continues to highlight our contention over the course of our last three jobs updates that industry-specific fluctuations oftentimes beyond a state's control can exert undue influences on that state's overall job growth picture relative to other peer states.
This is made particularly clear when looking at the aerospace and motor vehicle manufacturing industries. The aerospace industry is only large enough to meet minimum reporting requirements in Kansas and Oklahoma. Yet its globally-driven developments (declines in this case) temper down overall job growth numbers for Kansas and Oklahoma while not affecting reported numbers for the rest of the regional states highlighted. Similarly, the motor vehicle manufacturing industry is only large enough to be reported in Missouri. Yet, substantial growth in this industry continues to bolster Missouri's overall jobs growth picture but is essentially a non-factor elsewhere in the region.
The mining and logging industry meets reporting requirements in all of the states shown except for Nebraska. However, it includes oil and gas extraction, a sector whose growth is subject to global pricing. The transportation equipment manufacturing industry—which is large enough to be reported for all states—is similarly not confined to unique policy environments. Growth in this sector is more heavily tied to national or global demand for the particular types of equipment manufactured in each state.
Collectively, the four industries discussed account for less than 7% of each regional state's economy. Removing these sectors and looking at job growth in "all other" industries (more than 93% of each state's economy) gives a far different look to the regional job growth picture, with Kansas leading three of its four neighboring states.
This underscores the importance of understanding how single, raw, and preliminary jobs numbers do not tell the whole story in terms of a given state's economic health and outlook. One must examine many moving parts to arrive at an understanding of the greater whole. Check back for next month's update.
1). Record-setting administrative payouts continue to divert resources from Kansas classrooms and saddle Kansas taxpayers with mounting long-term pension costs.
The adjacent table highlights the payouts three school administrators received upon leaving their respective positions. These payouts are common practice across districts and can represent—among other things—prearranged deferred compensation agreements, banked sick leave that goes unused over the course of an individual's career, or buyouts of remaining balances on employment contracts. Offering these payouts is within each district's prerogative, but the practice of doing so is problematic in two primary respects.
Firstly, funds used to this end are funds that could otherwise be used in Kansas classrooms and/or in other ways that are actually student-focused and targeted toward improving educational outcomes.
Secondly, large one-time spikes in pay can inflate the average salary figures used in calculating the state-sponsored pensions to which individuals receiving payouts may also be entitled. In this sense, payouts become not just a one-time expense to school districts but also a longer-term, continued and compounded expense to all Kansas taxpayers. See an earlier blog here for more information on this concept of "pension spiking."
2). School districts continue to employ many non-Instruction workers at above-market wages and benefits, diverting resources from students and leaving state taxpayers with added pension obligations in the process.
Another prominent commonality across school districts is that they are employing individuals to perform services that could be contracted out at potentially much lower prices in the private sector. The table below provides a sampling of positions and services that could be evaluated in this vein.
Contracting these services out at lower prices would provide immediate costs savings that could be re-directed to classroom instruction and would also reduce pension liabilities.
3). Teachers of non-core subjects are some of the highest-paid across the districts we sampled.
As the adjacent table illustrates, many of the highest paid teachers in our collection of payrolls teach non-core subjects like art, drama, physical education, and music. These subjects are certainly valuable in their own right, but the illustration is indicative of the fact that teachers are paid based on seniority rather than on effectiveness and relative importance of subjects taught.
Taken together, the three overarching observations on school payrolls discussed above underscore the fact that school districts are not operating efficiently and do not always spend money in a student-focused manner.
The recently released 2015 nationwide ACT scores reveal the achievement gaps based on race and ethnicity persist. African Americans and Hispanics continue to lag behind White students, as shown on both the map and the companion chart. The data also shows a state-to-state consistency along racial and ethnic lines. In every state and D.C. White students scored highest, while Hispanics outperformed African Americans in all states but New Mexico and Rhode Island. Note: ACT does not report scores based on income level.
A pdf of the map and chart is available here.
Yes, Kansas students once again scored above the national average, ranked in a tie for 21st overall.
However…comparing ACT results across state lines is at best tricky business.
There are two participation realities that make it difficult to compare states' composite performances. As the above chart reports, 13 states require all students to take the ACT, regardless of post-secondary education intentions. Not surprisingly, those states have among the lowest overall composites. On the other end of the spectrum, there is a block of states, primarily on the east coast, in which a very low percentage of high school grads take the ACT. Presumably, those are states in which the SAT is the predominant test and those who choose to take the ACT are targeting particular colleges and universities. And predictably, those are the states with the highest ACT composites. Comparing Kansas to those two sets of states is not quite apples to oranges, but more like comparing a Red Delicious to a Granny Smith.
A more honest assessment of how Kansas ranks is to make a comparison to those states in which the percentage of students taking the ACT is roughly the same as Kansas (74%). There are 10 states in which the percentage of students taking the ACT is between two-thirds and four-fifths. When comparing Kansas to those states and also controlling for demographics, a different picture of achievement emerges.
When comparing the White students in those ten states, the Kansas composite score, 22.8, is virtually the same as 10-state White student average composite of 22.7 as shown in the table below.
The same is true when comparing Hispanics in the same cohort. The Kansas composite of 19.2 is the same as the 10-state composite. Kansas African American students actually fare better than their counterparts with 17.6 composite compared to 17.1 across the ten states.
In reality, Kansas doesn't perform above average when it comes to the ACT. Kansas has a demographic advantage that distorts the statewide results, since seven in ten students who take the ACT are White. Only 13% of test takers are Hispanic and just 5% are African American.
A good portion of a recent KC Star editorial appears to be a regurgitation of Duane Goossen's bogus commentary for the Kansas Center for Economic Growth, an organization that favors high spending, high taxes and is afraid to come out in public and defend their claims against those who can expose their false claims. A link to his piece is included in my blog post that shows how he tortures the truth.
The Star and Goossen (who may be the only state budget director ever involved in a Securities and Exchange Commission indictment for misrepresenting facts) both refer to "General Classroom Aid" as though it is an official form or aid, but they both know that that is not true. The Star didn't capitalize the term as did Goossen but they get no pass for that; they repeated his claim (without attribution) that GCA is down $6 million. The claim is false because there is no such thing as general classroom aid! The state provided multiple funding sources in the old formula - including some that were authorized by the state but not run through the state general fund budget - but only local school districts and superintendents decide how much money goes to Instruction....legislators and governors have no control over the amount of money allocated to Instruction.
Total funding increased nearly $2 billion over the last ten years. Instruction spending, only available through FY 2014, increased by $845 million since 2005 without counting a dollar of KPERS. That $845 million represents a 32% increase in per-pupil spending while inflation was 21%; the increase could have been even more if local school boards had chosen to direct some of their increased spending on other operating areas to Instruction, had chosen to operate other areas more efficiently and spent the savings on Instruction or used some of their unused aid from prior years instead of holding it in cash reserves.
Here's where things stand on achievement after those large spending increases:
At the regular September meeting, the State Board of Education accepted staff recommendations and approved the new state assessment cut scores with only a single dissenting member. The vote was a culmination of an intensive process that took several months and created not only the cut scores, but a new set of levels based on the new College and Career Ready standards (CCR) – the Kansas version of Common Core.
The following graphics show the statewide scores for both math and ELA (English language arts) for the tested grades based on the new cut scores and the four performance levels. (Note: KCCRA stands for Kansas College and Career Ready Assessment and is derived from Common Core Standards. This is not to be confused with Rose standards – KSDE considers CCR Standards a subset of Rose standards.)
A general description of the four levels are provided in this blog post.
If you look at these and are not sure what they mean, you're in good company. Upon seeing the same graphs at the board meeting, SBOE chairman Jim McNiece, asked staff: "How did we do?" That inquiry pretty much sums things up: after all the effort, we can't look at this data and understand what it means, leaving more questions than answers.
Aside from the obvious query from Chairman McNiece, here are several more questions to consider while digesting these results:
Do the results show that the Kansas version of Common Core Standards have made any difference in student performance?
As a companion question, are the outcomes a function of cut scores, the levels, the standards or a combination?
Why did students in elementary score so much higher?
Given the much different results for elementary, should they have their own levels?
What is the deal with Level 4? If, as explained, these are the students who will score in the upper 1% on ACT, it begs two questions:
Why have a separate level if so few are ever expected to make it?
Why are so many elementary students in Level 4?
Since this is just statewide aggregate data, what will district and subgroup date reveal?
How are parents, the schools, and the students themselves going to react to these scores?
The Kansas Center for Economic Growth and Duane Goossen steadfastly refuse to publicly debate school finance and state budget issues with us, as their work is so easily shown to be false, misleading and otherwise distorted (see here, here, here, and here for examples). Mr. Goossen's most recent piece is another fine example of how they abuse the truth.
He has a table called State Aid and Enrollment that is sourced to page 60 of Kansas July Comparison Report, but much of the information in his table does not appear on page 60. The total amount of $4.059 billion is there and two of the smaller items but not the rest. A few items – KPERS payments, Local Option Budget Aid and Capital Outlay Aid – are close to what we found in other documents but not the $2.639 billion he calls General Classroom Aid. And you can't find that anywhere because there is no such thing as 'General Classroom Aid.'
KCEG and other 'just spend more' proponents often make reference to 'classroom aid' in ways to make it appear that the Legislature is not providing enough 'classroom aid' but here's the dirty little secret you (and especially teachers) aren't supposed to know: only local school boards and superintendents decide how much money is spent on Instruction. The Kansas Department of Education has an official definition of 'Instruction' spending which is often used interchangeably with 'classroom' but there is no official aid classification for 'classroom.' Mr. Goossen and friends are just making it up for political purposes.
Under both the old school formula and the temporary block grant system, districts get several different types of aid but they alone decide how much of the multiple discretionary amounts received are used for Instruction, Administration, Student Support, Maintenance and other cost centers. Even Capital Outlay Aid (contrary to Goossen's implication) can used for Instruction purposes (and is) as set forth in the KSDE Accounting Manual.
Here are a few more examples of the truth being tortured by Mr. Goossen:
Goossen says the block grant system is "not a recipe for creating world-class schools" as though that is some sort of revelation. The block grant system is only a temporary funding mechanism put in place to allow time to build a new student-focused funding system, replacing a dysfunctional, institution-focused system that most certainly was not a recipe for creating world-class schools.
Here's what the old system produced after the injection of nearly $2 billion over the last ten years:
It will always cost a lot of money to fund public education but it's how the money is spent that makes a difference – not how much. For example, Instruction spending accounts for just 55% of total education spending; $2 billion and ten years ago it was 54%. Here's another discouraging fact: enrollment increased by 4% over the last ten years, while classroom teacher employment increased by 5% and non-teacher employment increased by 10%.
Outcomes apparently don't really matter to KCEG and others (including many school districts and their taxpayer-paid lawyers) who continue to say there was nothing wrong with the old system…it just needed more money! Just look at what happened when more money was poured into the system.
Scores barely changed while per-pupil spending jumped from $6,985 per pupil to an estimated $13,343 last year, which is $3,223 more per-pupil than if funding had been increased for inflation since 1998. Reading Proficiency remains below 40% and Math Proficiency is still less than 50%.
This is not an indictment of the many good people working hard in schools but an indictment of the old funding system. It is no one's fault that achievement is unacceptable but it is everyone's responsibility to acknowledge that fact and work toward a funding mechanism that puts students and outcomes first and uses efficiency savings to drive more resources to Instruction and increase pay for effective teachers.
You'd never know it from media and proponents of higher taxes and spending, but according to the Division of the Budget's July Comparison Report (Schedule 2.2), General Fund spending set a new record last year at $6.251 billion. That's an increase of $268 million over the previous year, with funding for K-12 Education accounting for $163 million of the increase. The approved budgets for FY 2016 and FY 2017 will also set new records.
Spending has grown much more than most people realize (or in some cases, more than they are willing to admit) over the last twenty years. Actual spending increased by $2.941 billion since 1995, which is much greater than inflation.
The adjacent table shows what General Fund spending would have been if it was increased for inflation each year since 1995 using a fiscal year average Consumer Price Index for Midwest Urban Cities. Some people believe spending is too low but it would have been $1.174 billion less last year if it had been increased for inflation since 1995.
Kansas is now consistently spending over $1 billion more annually than the long-term inflation track. Kansas would have spent $14.4 billion less over the last twenty years and the total will hit $16.803 billion by the end of FY 2017 if the inflation assumption noted in the Table holds.
So what is the basis for claims that spending has been slashed, decimated and other forms of mutilation? In government-speak, not getting as much of an increase is portrayed as a 'cut.'
Renowned economist Thomas Sowell perfectly explains how state budgets become so bloated. "The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics."
At the September State Board of Education meeting, members are scheduled to vote on cut scores that will categorize students based on their performance on the new state assessment completed last spring. What makes this so significant is that both the test and the scoring mechanisms have changed dramatically from previously administered assessments.
Gone are the five performance categories (shown below) that were based on a pass/fail system that were used to determine if schools were meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements by the feds. (The three categories above the red line were considered passing.)

We stayed in Dar Zaman for three nights and it was a great experience. The riad itself is beautiful and really well kept. We had the Baignoire room, which was very small but this was fine as we didn't need to be in it much, however if you are staying for longer than 3 nights you might like to chose one of the slightly larger rooms. Breakfast was nice - orange juice, a pastry, pancake, yoghurt, breads and jams, and eggs if wanted. The best thing about the riad though was the incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Hassan sits down with you on arrival and goes through a map, giving advice about where to go and how to get places etc - which as it was our first in Marrakech was invaluable. Not only this but he went out of his way to help us out - for example escorting us to another riad which we could not find (as we decided to stay in Marrakech an extra night and sadly by the time we decided to there was no room left at Dar Zaman).
I would recommend getting Dar Zaman to organise your transfer. It's probably more expensive than just getting a taxi from the airport but I do not know how we would ever have found it without them personally escorting us there! I would also say it may not be the best place to stay if you are on your own and you are not entirely confident- as getting back to the riad can prove very difficult (down what seems like a maze of alleyways!) and it took us quite a few attempts before we learnt it!

Microsoft's latest Patch Tuesday releases have yet again contained broken patches, giving the company a success rate of just one month out of the last six.

Patch Tuesday isn't new - Microsoft's been storing updates for the second Tuesday of the month for years. Since 2003, in fact. If it hasn't got used to it now, a decade on, what makes you think another few years will make any difference?Originally Posted by Corky42
Best thing to do IMHO is turn off automatic updates, as since they changed to only releasing patches on the second Tuesday of every month its pointless having it check every day. Then wait to see if there are any issues before running Windows update manually, until Microsoft get there act sorted out with this new faster release cycle.

1. Release windows 8 that a lot of people felt they didn't need or want.
2. Produce two fundamentally different versions of windows 8.
3. Go with a third OS for mobile devices.
So rather than simplify things they've complicated them again. Opportunity lost.

text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 111130 AFDTOP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS 630 AM CDT SUN OCT 11 2015 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT) ISSUED AT 249 AM CDT SUN OCT 11 2015 Northeast winds high in the troposphere keeping cirrus in place over eastern Kansas, though water vapor shows winds veering to the west head of a strong upper level trough entering the Pacific Northwest. The old surface ridge was well southeast of the Central Plains with 0Z 850mb temp observations at DDC 5 C warmer and LBF 9 C warmer than TOP. Guidance very similar in the warmer air upstream reaching into the local area overnight into the afternoon hours as the upper trough quickly pushes east into the Northern Plains. With skies clearing and moderate mixing, highs remain on track to be 10-15 F warmer than Saturday, siding with some of the warmer guidance. With record highs at both TOP and CNK 94, the CNK record could fall, though expect the TOP record to remain. Slightly elevated fire danger values remain on track for mainly western areas where afternoon RH values fall into the 20s. Cold front quickly passes in the overnight hours with rather dry lower to mid troposphere keeping any precip at bay. Pacific nature of this front and strong inversion developing should keep much wind from mixing down behind the front. .LONG TERM...(Monday THROUGH Saturday) ISSUED AT 249 AM CDT SUN OCT 11 2015 Front continues to push across the forecast area on Monday. Strongest winds likely to be in the morning through the early afternoon hours, before starting to diminish into the late afternoon and evening. Behind the front surface dewpoints are in the 30s, and will drop RH values in the low to middle 20s. Fire danger will be high generally west of Topeka, with very high fire danger west of Manhattan. As winds lighten and skies remain mostly clear, overnight lows Monday night fall back into the low to mid 40s. Through Thursday, west northwesterly flow aloft keeps the forecast area on the warm side of the upper jet, with sensible weather similar through the period. Highs forecast in the middle to upper 70s and lows in the middle 40s to near 50. Left a slight chance for rain late Thursday into early Friday as front that moves southward across the Central Plains may be strong enough with enough available moisture to bring a rain chance. Strength of the front still variable between guidance with EC colder than the GFS, but the synoptic pattern is coming a bit more in line overall. Behind the front brings cooler temperatures for Friday and Saturday in the 60s, with highs forecast back into the 70s on Sunday. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z Monday MORNING) ISSUED AT 630 AM CDT SUN OCT 11 2015 VFR conditions will continue. Early sounding data supports LLWS mention with daytime mixing ending this by 15Z. Front arrives around 06Z with winds shifting sharply though no precip or cloud concerns with it. Could have a window of LLWS between 01Z and frontal passage and will late later shifts monitor. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...65 LONG TERM...67 AVIATION...65

Flying is very common, but most people don??t think about how much effort is put into preparing your flight. Everybody involved in flight preparation, from the flight crew down to the baggage handlers, needs to be very precise and thorough to make sure that every plane has a safe trip. In the winter, this means deicing is a big deal.
??Icing on an airplane does nothing good. It adds weight to the airplane, which, if an airplane gets to a certain weight, it??s not going to fly. It also reduces the lift of the wings. So you??ve got two things going against you there,?? said Dave Petrovich of the National Weather Service in Marquette.
Deicing fluid is a mixture of chemicals that is sprayed onto the plane just before takeoff. If a plane sits too long after the fluid has been sprayed, the plane may need to deice again because the fluid becomes less effective.
This was a problem in the Air Florida Flight 90 crash in 1982, although other factors, such as slush on the runway, played a role in the accident as well.
At bigger airports, such as Detroit Metro or Chicago O??Hare, workers take care of one job for the entire day. However at Sawyer, the same person that checks you in, helps load baggage onto the plane and even helps deice.
??Marquette County residents are very fortunate to have such a dedicated staff at their airport that are willing to go the extra mile,?? said Duane Duray, Manager of Sawyer International Airport.
Having a dedicated staff is only half of the battle if the staff can only work as fast as the equipment allows.
??The equipment is equally affected by the cold weather. It takes a little longer to do things; the metal is a little more brittle, you??re more likely to damage or break the equipment if you push it too hard in this weather,?? Duray said.
So the next time you fly, make sure you bring a little patience with you in the cold weather.

Seeing Red
June 2, 2015 | by Willie Osterweil
Anticommunism at the movies.
You're trying awful hard with all this patriotic eyewash.
—Skip McCoy, Pickup on South Street
If you're feeling polemical, you might argue that all Hollywood cinema is anticommunist: as the central commodity of the culture industry, big studio movies are designed for nothing so much as circulating and producing capital. But if we want to talk Communist with a capital C—you know, where the C stands for USSR—then Hollywood's anticommunist films are a special and specific genre of flops and farces, a cinematic tradition featuring such classics as I Married a Communist, The Red Menace, Assignment: Paris, and My Son John. (Spoiler: John's a goddamned Bolshie!)
The fifties saw the heyday of anticommie popcorn flicks. True, the silent era had its Bolshevism on Trial and Red Russia Revealed, and the eighties met with Soviet invasion in Red Dawn and some serious anti-Vietcong violence in the later Rambo movies. But when you wanna see a square-jawed U.S. American call a sweaty creep a commie and slug him in the mouth, it's the postwar period you turn to. Though most of the era's anticommunist films were too vulgar and outlandish to survive as anything other than hilarious artifacts—or as evidence of the ever-imperialist, state-serving agenda of the Hollywood apparatus, depending on which side of the bed you woke up on—a few, Robert Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly and Samuel Fuller's Pickup on South Street among them, are truly great works of cinema. (Granted, 1982's Rambo: First Blood—if you excise the last four minutes, when Sly gives a speech crying about how hippies, those "maggots at the airport," spit on him—is also pretty great.) Both are tense, pulpy noirs, both center around the sale of nuclear secrets, and both take anticommunism more as a genre then a narrative drive. But only one, Pickup on South Street (1953), is being revived this week at Film Forum, in New York. Read More »
4: "Here Was the Famous Voice"
March 27, 2015 | by Joshua Cohen
"A Farce Written in Human Blood," pp. 70–89
This is the fourth entry in our Mating Book Club. Read along.
So here he is, after all this setup: Denoon—the anthropologist beyond anthropology, the man who until this chapter had been kept behind the margins as if in the wings, behind a curtain. Because his entrance here, now, is a stage entrance—he's going to give us a performance.
Here we have a party whose entertainment consists of an anthropologist's lecture costumed as an anthropologist's debate—with politicians, about politics—in the thickly caked makeup of a play: "A Farce Written in Human Blood: THE DESTRUCTION OF AFRICA ACCELERATED BY HER BENEFACTORS, PRESENT COMPANY NOT EXCEPTED." The caps are Rush's. Then there's this heading: Act II. But where was Act I? Did we miss it? We did. Our unnamed narrator gives us access to Denoon only after he's finished (verbally) demolishing capitalism (rather, "excoriating the capitalist development mode for Africa")—socialism is next.
But before we get into Denoon's "objections to the socialist remedy for Africa," let's ask a question: Why did Rush write this section as a drama? Why not as a thoroughgoing narrated scene? Read More »
"A Noisy Cavalcade of Fraud," and Other News
February 5, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- A reminder from literature: capitalism was always a disaster, even in the days when virtue and commerce were thought to go hand in hand. "The gentlemanly capitalism we were brought up to believe in was, if not wholly mythical, a sideshow in a noisy cavalcade of fraud, theft, and what Walter Bagehot called 'ingenious mendacity' on all sides … We should return to the pages of Dickens and Trollope to remind ourselves that there were wrong 'uns at every level and turn of nineteenth-century commerce, from crooked agents, clerks, brokers, and jobbers to 'lords on the take, knights on the make'—and that 'the thieves were often difficult to distinguish from the legitimate,' to the cost of the ill-informed and gullible investor and customer."
- In Donetsk, Ukraine, as artillery continues to barrage the city, the show must go on. "The persistent shelling was barely audible through the thick stone walls of the Donetsk National Academic Opera … The highly regarded opera continues a regular schedule of weekend performances, as does the neighboring dramatic theater. Performers at the popular Donetsk circus, having finished their New Year's routines, are planning a new round of shows in February. The planetarium open every weekend. Many cinemas are operating."
- Akhil Sharma on Chekhov the journalist: "Sakhalin Island is the greatest work of journalism from the nineteenth century … It has the pleasure of moving through a physical, distinct world and the keenness of documentary analysis."
- Van Gogh, method actor: He began his professional life "in the Borinage, the former industrial and mining region to the southwest of Mons … He originally intended to be a pastor, but the sickly, impoverished mining communities were often baffled by his attempts at asceticism and his clumsy efforts to fit in by wearing rags, blackening his face and sleeping on the ground."
- "Many of us have at least one thing we have put our name to that we have later regretted and desperately hoped might never again resurface to embarrass us, something that is far from guaranteed in an age of social-media outrage cycles … Pat Conroy's novel The Great Santini was such a thinly-veiled portrayal of his tyrannical military father that Conroy's mother presented it to the judge at her divorce proceedings, saying, 'everything you need is in there.' "
Planned Obsolescence
October 7, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
Is Byron in for a rude awakening! There is already an organization, a human one, known as "Phoebus," the international light-bulb cartel, headquartered in Switzerland. Run pretty much by International GE, Osram, and Associated Electrical Industries of Britain, which are in turn owned 100%, 29% and 46%, respectively, by the General Electric Company in America. Phoebus fixes the prices and determines the operational lives of all the bulbs in the world, from Brazil to Japan to Holland (although Philips in Holland is the mad dog of the cartel, apt at any time to cut loose and sow disaster throughout the great Combi-nation). Given this state of general repression, there seems no place for a newborn Baby Bulb to start but at the bottom.
But Phoebus doesn't know yet that Byron is immortal …
—Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow
I can remember reading Gravity's Rainbow and marveling at the imagination on display in the famous "Byron the Bulb" section, in which a very chipper, eternally burning lightbulb (yes, that's our Byron) finds himself in the crosshairs of Phoebus, a nefarious lightbulb cartel intent on controlling the life span of every bulb in the world.
At the time, I assumed without a second thought that Phoebus was a work of fiction—and why wouldn't it be? The cartel was mentioned, after all, in basically the same breath as an all-girl opium den, "dildos rigged to pump floods of paregoric orgasm to the cap-illaries [sic] of the womb," and, yes, a talking lightbulb.
Markus Krajewski, a media studies professor, was less skeptical: "I knew that Pynchon's prose style mixes fact and fiction, and so I wondered: Could this be true?"
It was, his research revealed. Well, it kind of was—the Phoebus cartel really did exist, and it perpetrated what can only be called the "Great Lightbulb Conspiracy." Appropriately enough, IEEE Spectrum—a trade magazine edited by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers—has Krajewki's story: Read More »
This Machine Will Self-Destruct, and Other News
June 19, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- New additions to the list of things the pen is mightier than: the mouth, the camera. "As soon as kids acquire a basic understanding of letters and reading … they exhibit a greater trust in printed textual information than in oral or visual information … something about the act of learning to read causes children to 'rapidly come to regard the written word as a particularly authoritative source of information about how to act in the world.'" And it is. Trust me.
- Clancy Martin and Amie Barrodale on the Chateau Marmont: "To the left is a room with a lot of nice old mismatched couches and armchairs. Not blocking the chairs, so you might not notice it, just against the far wall, is a podium. An attractive person is always standing there, and if you try to sit in the lobby, he or she says, 'Are you staying here?' If you are, then you can sit."
- On DIS magazine and accelerationism: "'Do they really just worship consumerism?' … As curator Agatha Wara, a DIS associate, once explained it to me, accelerationists believe that 'the only way to get over capital is through capital'—that is, by accelerating capitalism's own tendency toward self-destruction."
- Speaking of that very tendency, Amazon is making a smartphone.
- Did you know? It's not easy to translate Proust: "There is always a tension in translation between the spirit and the letter, between conveying things we might call tone, mood, feel, or music, and being as literally faithful to the original as possible. Moncrieff excelled at both."
- How an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation describes the outermost limits of our capacity to communicate: "Tamarian verbalisms depict the world through images and figures, which distort their 'real' referents. Troi and Picard can't help but interpret Tamarian through their (and our) cultural obsession with mimicry: Metaphorical language operates not by signification, but as poetry, by transforming the real in a symbolic mirror. But for the Tamarians, something far weirder is going on …"

When B.A.S.S. Nation member Paul Mueller requalified for the Classic, a historic comparison rang out.
With one Classic experience under his belt, Mueller says he knows what to expect in his second Classic appearance.
Mike Iaconelli will host John Crews and Paul Mueller on Ike Live!, Sunday, Nov. 23, at 8 p.m. ET, live-streaming from www.mikeiaconelli.com.
The GEICO Bassmaster Classic — the Super Bowl of Bass Fishing — is not only a must-attend festival for fishing fans, but it is also the crown jewel in a professional angler's career.
When it counts, Paul Mueller knows how to catch a big limit of fish.
The Connecticut B.A.S.S. Nation hosted an event April 10 at Griffin Hospital as part of Autism Awareness Month.
This may be sacrilegious for a writer to declare but this year I'm working diligently to remove certain words from my vocabulary. Specifically, I'm trying to limit the use of "lost," "loser" and "losing" from my articles.
It was March 10, 2004, when the first ChatterBaits went on sale. Ronny Davis had been tinkering for years with the unusual-looking fishing lure featuring a hexagonal-shaped metal blade on a lead-head jig.
BassGold.com's Jay Kumar digs in on the patterns of the Top 25 finishers in the GEICO Bassmaster Classic on Lake Guntersville.
The tournament hype before the 2014 GEICO Bassmaster Classic predicted loads of big bass and plenty of heavy limits. It was a lot to live up to. Despite the coldest winter in decades and frigid water temperatures, Guntersville put on a show.

Principles of Cash Flow Valuation
An Integrated Market-Based Approach
- Joseph Tham, Visiting Assistant Professor, Duke Center for International Development(DCID), Sanford Institute of Public Policy, Duke University
- Ignacio Velez-Pareja, Politécnico Grancolombiano, Bogotá, Colombia
Finance professionals; MBA and other graduate students in finance
Book information
- Published: February 2004
- Imprint: ACADEMIC PRESS
"The book goes a long way towards bridging the gap between the application of cost benefit analysis and the theory of capital budgeting. The authors have distilled the essence of years of gathering academic wisdom in the study of cash flow analysis and the cost of capital and presented it in a manner that is of immediate benefit both to the student and the practitioner in the field." --Savvakis C. Savvides, Cyprus Development Bank. "The book by Tham and Velez-Pareja is a very modern approach to valuation theory. The author's focus is not the pure theory of valuation but rather they present a book full of useful hints and tips that will please the practician. Tham and Velez-Pareja in particular stress the importance of financial statements and their use in valuation. Many detailed examples make it easy not only to understand but also to apply valuation theory." -- Professor Dr. Dr. Andreas Löffler, Lehrstuhl für Banken und Finanzierung, Universität Hannover "This is an elegant and insightful exposition of the principles and techniques involved in valuation of cash flows. The issues related to construction of cash flows and estimation of cost of capital under different scenarios that are vital to the valuation of firms and investments, are dealt with in a careful and straightforward fashion. The arguments are made in a clear and animated fashion and the presentation style is an interesting blend of rigorous analysis and simple illustrations. An essential reading for any one interested in understanding the issues associated with cash flow valuation and it should prove equally valuable to both scholars and practitioners." -- Gangadhar P Shukla, Professor of Public Policy, Duke University One of the Top Ten financial engineering titles published in 2003-2004 - Richard Norgate, Ph.D., Financial Engineering News

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Knees2 Comfortable and easy care These Wrancher dress jeans are so comfortable, they are practically the only kind I wear. They have big front pockets and the stitching is really nice. Also, they are easy wash and no iron. They go to the cleaners once or twice a year for a nice pressed crease in the pant legs which lasts thru many washings. Highly recommend them. August 23, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5Â by CaptainMacG Sizing is the issue if ordering on line I was looking for dresser pants to wear with my boots. I ordered these like I order my jeans and found the waist, seat and thighs much smaller then the jeans. Had to send them back and ordered a waist size two sizes bigger then I normally wear. The return policy was excellent and I had no problems making an exchange. August 13, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by RegM Good for dress or casual wear. I find Wrangler products to run different in different styles. These dress jeans run quite small as compared to denim jeans. I have to buy them at least 2 inches larger around the waist to fit as well as denim. They should standardize the sizing. August 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 7upbob dressy The quality and look of the jeans is excellent. They are comfortable, dressy and fit well. June 14, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Nick1 I bought 6 different colors I wear Wrangler jeans sized 35x36. In the Wrangler dress jeans, I wear a 36x34. My advice is that the waist runs small and the length runs long. I have the correct size now with 6 colors that are all attractive. I really do like them. June 4, 2015

Stock split keeps Google's destiny in hands of co-founders
Since Google went public in 2004, co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have been wedded to the idea that management ought to be able to decide what's right for the company without needing to sacrifice future opportunities to satisfy near-term demands from Wall Street.
That philosophy was on display as Google disclosed plans for a 2 for 1 split, which would still preserve their control over the company with the issuance of a new class of non-voting capital stock.
In a note published along with the company's Q2 earnings,Page and Brin returned to that theme, cautioning that … Read more

I spend over 8 hours last night to check all the documentations, browsing various post etc and I almost fixed my problem, yet there is stil something missing that I can't understand.
I have a table which stores various user submissions with a unix timestamp (e.g. 1351867293). I am extracting this information and counting it in order to get a total number for submissions "today", "yesterday", "this week" and so on.
The code I was using (for "today submissions") was:
WHERE DATE(from_unixtime(comment_date)) = CURRENT_DATE";
So far so good, but there was a time offset and the data wasn't displayed correctly. A user here on stackoverflow suggested to use CONVERT_TZ in order to get the offset fixed.
And here is the point where I am stuck. I am located in the CST timezone and my server seems to be located in the EST timezone. So I used this code
WHERE DATE(CONVERT_TZ(from_unixtime(comment_date), 'EST', 'CST')) = CURRENT_DATE";
...but it shows me only "0" as a result, though I have submissions for today. I tried different timezones but they all give me "0" as a result. When I replace EST and CST with numbers, for example:
WHERE DATE(CONVERT_TZ(from_unixtime(comment_date), '+00:00', '+07:00')) = CURRENT_DATE";
... I get a numeric output, but the number is not right. I tried a lot of combinations, including +08:00, -05:00, but nothing seems to work.
Basically what I am asking is what values to I have to place as those two numbers, in order to get correct results? Everything else on my website works and displays correctly in my timezone (CST), I am having only problems with this query.
The IP of my server is 220.127.116.11 if that helps.
