The global LCD substrate market hit a value of hit US$15.846 billion in 2011, and by 2012, due to the dive of LCD-TV market, the LCD substrate market saw oversupply, causing the market value to decline to US$13.533 billion as a result of the price slump of large-sized LCD substrate. It is estimated that the LCD substrate market is likely to continue to drop by less than 9% in 2013.
The LCD glass substrates industry is an important component sector of the LCD market and mirrors the main market in terms of development and technological advancements. The LCD technology has witnessed growth only since the beginning of the last decade, with increasing number of consumers opting for LCD products, primarily LCD televisions.
There is a high threshold for accession into LCD substrate industry. The combined market occupancy of the world's four leading LCD substrate tycoons surpasses 95%. As estimated, the market share of Corning will reach 21% in 2012; that of Samsung Corning, 50% stake of which is held by Corning, will realise 23%; that of AGC and NEG will be 27% and 28% respectively.
Size of the glass substrate plays an important role in determining market demand. With advancements in glass manufacturing technology over the years, substrate sheet sizes have also increased with each subsequent generation over the last 20 years.
The latest generation 10 introduced in 2010 offers atleast 55%-60% greater area compared to generation 8 substrates. About 70% of all LCD TVs are expected to be manufactured with generation 7 or higher technology.
The market is largely limited to a few Asian countries such as Korea, Taiwan and Japan, as these countries form the main manufacturing hub for high quality glass substrates, one of the core elements used in making LCD panels. However, with the entry of few domestic players in the LCD manufacturing scenario, China is rapidly emerging as a strong contender in the substrates market.
In the Chinese market, Corning contracts glass substrate business of BOE; AGC undertakes the glass substrate business under CSOT Corporation, while NEG becomes the glass substrate supplier of Shanghai-based Tianma Micro-electronics and Infovision Optoelectronics.
NEG, the sole company with the rising market occupancy, is mainly driven by its largest customer LG Display. AGC has set its footholds in South China and, is expected to outdo NEG in the future.

VSTi for dance/club music? And tools? Tips?
A friend of mine asked me to write something that would be played in a modern club, and while I generally don't like such music, I said I'd give it a try since I would want to explore into this genre, having never done this before.
I don't need any tutoring into the songwriting based behind this genre, but I do need to know which tools/VSTi are used to record this, I've only written symphonic compositions by far so I wouldn't have any idea where to start.
To give an example of what I would have to write, it's something like
He is particularly interested in what he calls "bass drop" at 1:00, any tips/headers?
Can't hear it properly on my cheap in-ear headphones but he might be referring to a sub-bass drop. They're also used in breakdowns for metalcore and such. Basically there's something being played at the lower end of human hearing around 20 - 60 hz. Those kind of frequencies are felt a lot more than they're heard, which can be pretty effective if you're planning to have your music bursting out of a club sound system, it's not such a pronounced effect listening on home speakers though unless you've got a higher end sound system. Search for sub drops or something and you'll probably find some samples.
I understand that, but I don't need just samples, I need virtual instruments that will allow me to make my own, and not just the bass, as well as synth parts and all that, I will look into it more attentively when I've the time.
there are plenty of good free ones out there, just google synth vst and there'll be hundreds of results. it's more to do with experimentation to get the results you want, and some vsti's come with preset patches anyways
I"ve got;
-Massive (basic osc with extra functions including res/cutoff, and much more!)
-a basic 3xosc
All kinds of house-oriented VST are fine.
Otherwise there are good sample packs like Vengeance.
Is there any high end leading-company that makes VSTi in this genre?
ReFx Nexus is what I use for alot of synth patches, most of the sounds are very club/trance.
Theres no magic ultimate-become-the-hippest-producer-in-all-the-clubs-instantly synth VST. You can get great sounds out the simple stuff that comes with most sequencer programs. Reason or Fruitloops have practically all you'd ever need. You can create entire songs, percussion, bass and leads using with just one type of synth with some effects if you're good at tweaking it.
Its all about how you use it and how you arrange the song.
For the bass drop sound: try a descending sinewave sweep from about 80 to 20hz over the period of a second or two. That or a way way detuned electronic tom or kick sound (like from an 808 drum machine type synth). Or just find a sample somewhere.
get FL studio
that's literally 3/4ths the battle
then google "how to dubstep"
you're done

WWOOF Host
Auteur du fil
Inscrit depuis:
May 18 2011
Interventions: 19
I have recently received a number of enquiries from people who would like to volunteer at my farm but who have acquired my contact details from friends who are WWOOFers and clearly would like to avoid paying the membership fee for WWOOF Portugal.
Two of these were unemployed people who were hoping to reduced their living costs by WWOOFing (and not paying membership).
How do other hosts react to this?
Clearly, if there are hosts who accept voluteers who by-pass WWOOF-membership, then hosts who insist on volunteers becoming members will loose opportunities that should be equally mediated to all hosts.
Clearly, by-passing membership also undermines the potential of WWOOF Portugal to improve its service, its website, its staff commiment.
I never accept WWOOFers who by-pass membership. I feel this is unethical and would feel uncomfortable receiving somebody who short-changes WWOOF.pt. There would always be the suspicion that I might be the next in line to be short-changed in the way such a person would approach tasks I delegate. Cutting corners at the outset is not a sign of quality mentality.
I do accept people I know volunteering. And I would probably accept a person who has been a legitimate WWOOFer returning the following year without being a current member.
Then there is the question of feeling secure if anything were to go awry.
What are your thoughts on this Rodrigo?

Hey Guy,
Thanks for posting your comment.
That are a handful of reasons to only accept registered volunteers:
1- Legal:
One of the conditions all the Hosts accepted when register (on the registration form) is: "I will ensure that WWOOFers are current members of a WWOOF organisation."
2- Ethic:
WWOOF Portugal is a registered Non Profit Association that lives EXCLUSIVELY from the membership fees. We don't use European funds or Advertisement!
3- Safety:
That are only two ways of payment: Bank Transfer and Credit Card (PayPal). In case that happens a serious situation we would give this information to the Police.
We keep registered all the logins, this means the Police could easily track the location and travel pattern of a person.
4- Practical Reasons:
The main problems that happened in Portugal was: A stole car (Range Rover!), a stole Mac computer, a volunteer that locked himself in the host house. This volunteers WASN'T registered!
I think this are reasons enough to only receive registered WWOOFers
It easy to check (Hosts only)! Login at www.wwoof.pt, click on the WWOOFers tab and type the volunteer name, username or email.
Best wishes,

Interesting problem.
And it will be more and more of that I think. There are very many young unemployed people in Europe and all over the world. They have very little money. This problem will grow much I belive.
I have had wwoofers here using friends membership. But as a host you will get information about it after the arrival.
And it also coming mails and had come mails people wanting to go wwoofing. But it come directly to the mail-client. People using google.
But there is a much bigger problem for the wwoof-sites. It is the bulk/spam sending requests to hosts. I take this up as a specific discussion. It is connected to this problem.

So my question is do we take the new one back to help pay for the other things we need and keep the older one or do we keep the new one?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Make sure there are no recalls on the old one. If there's not, then I'd return the new one and get something else. I'm sure you can think of something :)

Do you have a barcode app on your phone? If you do then scan the barcode on the new swing and check what places have it, if she got it at Walmart i know you can return it without a receipt and get a gift card that has the value of what the swing is worth. Or you can take one of them to a consignment shop or a used baby clothes store and have them buy it from you, o post it on craigslist.

Program pays unemployment benefits to would-be entrepreneurs
During economic downturns people in the middle to upper wage brackets, especially college-educated older workers in diminishing professions, often have the most trouble landing a job.
Unemployment statistics show workers in higher-paying skilled positions are more likely to exhaust their unemployment benefits, and ultimately wind up in lower paying occupations.
However, a little-used Self Employment Assistance program at the Oregon Employment Department offers workers who fit that profile the chance to receive unemployment benefits while they start a business of their own."It helps unemployed workers set up a business on a full-time basis, and still receive full unemployment benefits," said Debbie Gargalis, manager of the department's Worksource Oregon centers in Baker City, La Grande and Enterprise.
"It targets what we have called dislocated workers," Gargalis said.
She said the Self Employment Assistance program is geared for workers who are at risk of exhausting their unemployment benefits without finding a job with duties and pay comparable to their old job.
"There are a lot of businesses that got started during recessionary periods," Gargalis said. "It triggers that American way, that entrepreneurial spirit."
For highly skilled people who have had good jobs with managerial or supervisory responsibilities, Gargalis said the Self Employment Assistance program may open the path to a bright future running a business of their own.
"These are the times when people say 'I've always had this dream of owning a business,' " Gargalis said. "Maybe now is the time to try it."
She said staff at Worksource Oregon offices in Baker City (1575 Dewey Ave.) and around the state see lots of clients. Some get bogged down in looking at a job loss as a crisis, while others take the bull by the horns and use it as an opportunity to change course and do what they have to do to get a better job or start a business.
Linda Noble, business employment specialist at the Worksource office in Baker City, said workers who score 44 or higher on their worker profile are eligible to sign up for the Self Employment Assistance program.
Worker profile scores are based on nine variables that take into account the field of occupation, years of education, level of employment, salary and other factors.
Often people with higher levels of education and specialized degrees end up with higher worker profile scores because there are few job openings in their field in smaller communities like Baker City, Noble said.
People in the upper income brackets who have held management positions and have years of experience with a particular company or in a particular field that may not translate easily into another position also score high in the worker profiles that assess the likelihood of their finding a similar paying job before they exhaust unemployment benefits, Noble said.
Workers who have exhausted regular unemployment benefits in the past before finding a job also receive high worker profile scores, Noble said.
"We do have all the forms and connectivity people need to get started," Noble said.
Enrolling in the Self Employment Assistance program opens the door to training and assistance in developing a business plan and other aspects of starting a business, available through Worksource Oregon, Blue Mountain Community College, the Small Business Administration, BEGIN and the Baker City/County economic development team, Noble said.
"They can get a lot of assistance through BEGIN," Noble said. "It's a wonderful program."
Classes and tutorial programs are also available at the Worksource office to help people learn computer programs such as Quick Books, Microsoft Office, Powerpoint and others that are useful in developing a business plan and running a business, Noble said.
In the past, Noble said participation in the Self Employment Assistance program has been minimal in Baker County, partly because there aren't as many management or professional specialty jobs here as in the Willamette Valley where the program has been more widely used.
However, with unemployment rates rising, she expects more people to take advantage of the program.
Noble said there are advantages and disadvantages to enrolling in the Self Employment Assistance program.
One of the advantages is the ability to collect an unemployment check each week for up to 26 weeks while working 40 hours or more a week trying to start a business. Noble said workers who are in the program do not have to deduct their self employment earnings from their weekly unemployment benefits.
Noble said one of the drawbacks is that when those initial unemployment benefits end, that's it for people enrolled in the Self Employment Assistance program. They are not eligible for extended benefits, unless they stop their self employment activities and transfer back into the regular unemployment program, where they have to meet the regular job-seeking requirements, and have to report any income and risk losing unemployment eligibility if they continue self employment activities.
Searching for a job is considered a full-time endeavor, as is working to start your own business, so the employment department rules preclude doing both at the same time. Noble said people who qualify for the Self Employment Assistance program have to choose one or the other.
Rules governing the Self Employment Assistance program limit participation to 5 percent of claimants, but due in part to limited publicity about the program, the number enrolled has never reached even 1 percent.
Noble said starting a business is hard work and takes more hours than most people want to put in.
"Most say I don't want to work 80 to 100 hours a week to start a business," Noble said.
However, in some cases, she said people who initially sign up for regular unemployment benefits change their minds after a few months of searching unsuccessfully for a new job.

Linked: HIV-Associated Malignancies in Malawi
Contact Principal Investigator: KUMWENDA, JOHNSTONE JONNY, email@example.com
Project Title: LINKED: HIV-ASSOCIATED MALIGNANCIES IN MALAWI
Awardee Organization: UNIVERSITY OF MALAWI
Partner Organizations: Johns Hopkins University, University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill, University of Cape Town
The prevalence of HIV remains high in Malawi; the national estimate among adults is approximately 11% but the prevalence among reproductive age women is much higher- approximately 18%. The expanding antiretroviral treatment services provide an opportunity for longer survival of HIV infected individuals. In Malawi, as well as in most sub-Saharan Africa, adequate registries do not exist to document and monitor complications of HIV. An important complication is HIV-associated cancers (malignancies), which have been reported to be increasing. However, we do not know the cancer burden, and consequently are not able to assess the impact of the HIV epidemic on the rates of these cancers. The main deficiencies are weak or non-existent surveillance systems and poor classification of diseases, especially cancers (including HIV associated malignancies). Major underlying factors contributing to these limitations are inadequately trained personnel coupled with poor infrastructure. Therefore, building capacity to establish better diagnosis, of the main cancers, surveillance of all cancers and population-based research on cancers in settings such as Malawi where resources are limited is important. In this research training program, we intend to train a diverse group of Malawian scientists and establish histopathological diagnostic services at two referral hospitals in Malawi. . We will target multiple priority areas of training to improve diagnostic capabilities. We intend to train physicians, technologists, epidemiologists, basic scientists and others to acquire the needed skills. The training will be done in diverse places including Malawi, the USA, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia. , The duration of training will be variable including formal/long term (masters in public health and pathology), medium term and short term. The participating program faculty is diverse with experience in multiple disciplines. This training program is a preparatory one for possible future programmatic award to improve health care in Malawi. The training program will be highly integrated with our ongoing HIV research working in Malawi at the Blantyre and Lilongwe research sites.

In determining the probable cause of December's crash of a Continental Airlines jet at Denver International Airport, investigators are likely to inquire whether the pilots accounted for taking off in crosswind conditions in a plane with winglets on the tips of the wings, according to a leading air-safety expert.
The plane's captain said the jet suddenly veered to the left during takeoff "as if hit by a 'massive gust of wind,' or as if the tires had hit a patch of ice and lost traction," according to a report issued by the National Transportation Safety Board on Friday.
Continental Flight 1404 traveled over fields, an airport taxiway and a raised service road before coming to rest near a DIA fire station.

All 110 passengers and five crew members survived the crash, which occurred at 6:18 p.m. on Dec. 20, although 37 of the occupants were injured. The right side of the jet was consumed by a post-crash fire.
NTSB's factual report on the accident said the plane's pilots — as they taxied to the departure runway — heard air-traffic controllers tell the crew of a plane in front of them about a current weather report showing winds from the west at about 13 mph.
After Flight 1404's crew positioned the Boeing 737-500 at the threshold of Runway 34 Right, ready for takeoff, the Continental pilots got a report from controllers that winds were from the west at 27 knots — about 31 mph — according to the NTSB.
"The controller's wind report surprised the flight crew because it was higher than the wind reported" a short time earlier, the NTSB said. "The captain recalled saying something to the first officer like, 'Roger, crosswind.' The first officer recalled the captain saying, 'Winds are 270 at 27. You ready?' "
Pilots must account for crosswinds during takeoffs, and planes are rated for crosswind limits — wind conditions that, if reached, should prompt flight crews to inquire if another runway is available for takeoff.
In its report, the NTSB said that according to Boeing, "the maximum demonstrated crosswind component for takeoff and landing in the B-737-500 was 35 knots."
The safety agency said Continental's B-737 flight manual "limitations section" showed a crosswind limit of 33 knots for a dry runway.
But NTSB added that the manufacturer and installer of winglets that were on the airplane that wrecked had published "a maximum demonstrated crosswind component of 22 knots for winglet- equipped B-737-500s."
Winglets are curved, upswept structures added to the tips of wings.
Winglets save fuel, reduce drag and improve aircraft performance, according to Aviation Partners Boeing, which produced and installed the winglets on the Continental jet in November 2008, shortly before the accident.
"Did the crew know?"
Aviation safety expert Greg Feith, a former NTSB investigator, noted the contrast between Aviation Partners' published maximum demonstrated crosswind component of 22 knots for winglet-equipped 737-500s and wind information supplied by air-traffic control to the Continental flight crew.
"So now there is wind of 27 knots and a demonstrated crosswind limit of 22 knots on a winglet-equipped 737-500," Feith said. "The question is did the crew know about it, and if not, why not?"
Feith also questioned how Continental's published crosswind limitation of 33 knots for the 737 reconciled with the apparent limit of 22 knots for 737-500s with winglets.
"I'd like to see if Continental's (flight) simulators have the fidelity" of distinguishing "winglet airplanes vs. non-winglet," he said.
From normal to chaos
According to the NTSB, Capt. David Butler said the takeoff "felt at first like a 'normal crosswind takeoff,' " and then when the jet suddenly veered left, he recalled using full right rudder to correct for the deviation, but also "seeing the airplane continue to veer left."
To first officer Chad Levang, it appeared that the captain had "zero directional control," the safety agency said.
"The captain recalled using right control wheel to keep the wings level as the airplane departed the left side of the runway," the NTSB said. "He said that he did this because he thought the ground next to the runway sloped down and he feared that the aft end of the fuselage would slide down that incline and cause the airplane to 'tumble on its side.' "
On Friday, the NTSB released numerous factual documents that are part of its investigation, but the agency said it would determine a probable cause of the Continental crash at a later date.
But the documents made public Friday mention wind gusts as a possible contributing factor to the accident.
Landing gear crushed
During the plane's takeoff roll, Flight 1404 first officer Levang was monitoring engine power while Butler handled the takeoff. Levang said he saw no ice on the runway or taxiway.
"Around 90 knots I glanced outside to see if the takeoff roll was progressing normally," Levang said in his account. "I noticed a slight deviation left of centerline but we seemed to be correcting back to the right. Before I had a chance to look back at the airspeed indicator for the 100 knots call, the aircraft abruptly swung approximately 30 degrees left with the tail to the right and we were heading for the left side of the runway."
The accident caused the jet's nose landing gear and nose- wheel steering system to be crushed and folded up under the front of the fuselage.
In its investigation, NTSB found a broken nose-wheel steering cable, but the agency did not say whether the break was caused by the accident or whether it might have contributed to the captain's loss of directional control during takeoff.
"Boeing states a cable break at this location may result in the nose gear steering (rotating) left approximately seven degrees," the NTSB report said.

This House would prioritise eliminating the budget deficit over increasing domestic spending
This House would prioritise eliminating the budget deficit over increasing domestic spending
The debt of the United states at the time of writing is approaching $15 Trillion by many measures and growing quickly (8 November 2011). However, that only covers national debt – the government's debt – if all debts are included the figure increases to a massive $54 trillion. That requires a total annual interest payment of three trillion dollars.
The issue of debt is one that starkly divides decision makers between and within both major parties. National debt is a complicated issue and the United States is in an unusual, possibly unique, position in relation to its debt, as those other nations and institutions to whom the debt is owed simply cannot afford for the most powerful economy in the world to declare bankruptcy. In the case of many nations, their own currencies are pegged to the dollar, in the case of the Federal Reserve it would lose its purpose for existing and its source of revenue.
The reality is that if the US defaults on its debts then the whole world, not just the US, faces a problem. Discussions about bailing countries such as Italy pale into insignificance compared to a problem in the US. Equally from the point of view of the US taxpayer, a sizeable chunk of their taxes is simply going on paying the interest on debts. Indeed governments around the world get into trouble when they end up having to borrow simply to service the debt and thereby create new debt which will, in turn, need to be serviced.
To give this some historical background, the last time the United States was out of debt was during the presidency of Andrew Jackson in the 1830s. What the media refer to as the national debt is the government budget deficit – the national equivalent of the overdraft on a current account. The difference is thinking you're out of debt because you've paid of the overdraft but ignoring the mortgage, the credit cards, the loan on the car and student loans. Clinton paid off the overdraft, Jackson bought the house back; they're two quite different accomplishments.
Although this debate will focus on paying off the deficit (the overdraft) the other figures are given by way of context. At the time of writing the US Government deficit is running at about $1,300bn ($1.3tn) and has averaged around there in recent years and is predicted to stay at that level for the next few years. This means that, roughly, the government is spending about 10% more than it earns. It doesn't take into account, for example, that the government owes pension payments that it hasn't even started paying out but has received payments from workers who will want to collect it at some point in the future.

Remember to choose a winning argument!
Governments need to live within their means
Ultimately the US Government has to pay its bill just like everyone else. Ultimately maintaining a permanent deficit harms the economy creating both inflationary pressures and effecting interest rates.
However, these pressures are not the main source of concern. Although deficits in times of plenty are a grave concern, during a recession most economist agree that deficits may be necessary. However, the US is no longer 'mostly in debt to itself' as has been the case in the past.[i]
Increasingly, its debt is owned by the major Asian economies; especially China. The implications should conflict arise between the two are severe as China, effectively has the capacity to bankrupt the US and the dollar at a time of its own choosing.
Improve this
It is incredibly unlikely that China would ever call in its debts as any damage done to the dollar would be fairly insignificant compared to the impact on China's own economy and currency.
America can afford to service its debts and doing so is a major stimulus to the global economy. Nobody has an interest in breaking the dollar, as doing so would cause a run on every bank in the world – including the Bank of China. China holds reserves roughly equivalent to M1 – cash in circulation in the US (although it's worth nothing this represents about four percent of the actual dollars in the world) and so a massive release of dollar-denominated assets would hurt the dollar greatly. The results would see the price of oil, and most other commodities, skyrocket as they are priced in dollars and would bring the entire global financial system to a halt. China has no interest in either of these things happening.Improve this
Paying off national debt via austerity measures would free-up money used for interest payments
The first of the baby boomers start retiring in 2011 and, as a result, qualify for Medicare. There are 78 million people in this generation and all of the statistics suggest that they are likely to live significantly longer than previous retiring generations[i]. As a result the US has some very big bills coming in the next few years and a decreasing base of those working and paying tax revenue to pay them.
This is really not the time to be wasting money on interest for deficits built up to support programmes that are unnecessary. Paying down the debt frees up tax revenue for much needed support, both financial and medical, for seniors as they retire.
Improve this
The single biggest impact the US government, or any government, can have on the economy is what it does with its own money. By creating jobs through public expenditure it stimulates local economies and creates growth.
Proponents of the baby boomer crisis theory also ignore one very significant fact – these people did not cause a financial crisis before they started working in the late sixties. It also seems unlikely that all of them will stop work as life expectancies are now much longer than in the middle of the last century and a majority can be expected to remain economically active.Improve this
Many of the reasons for operating a debt have now been eliminated
At the end of the Clinton presidency the government was running at a healthy surplus following the longest sustained period of growth in US history. Bush Chose to spend that on tax cuts and two extremely expensive wars (the War in Iraq was the mostly costly war, in relative terms, in US history except for WWII). Obama was landed with the problems that Bush created, but has chosen to extend spending rather than control the deficit.As The country is no longer at war, there is no real reason to be running at a deficit.
Alan Greenspan, and many others, have pointed out that the impact of continued deficits is likely to be higher interest rates – at a time when the country can ill afford them – which will hurt the economy.[i]
Improve this
The only ways to control the deficit, other than stimulating growth and the tax revenues it produces, would be either to cut services or to increase taxes. Both actions would harm the longer term objective of stimulating growth as they both take cash out of the real economy.
By contrast, focusing on domestic spending to restart the economy will produce long term stability; whether through stimulus packages or other methods.
The idea that there is no need to run at a deficit during a time of recession is absurd. In the light of the financial challenges currently faced by the US, but also in the longer term, it is vital that the government has the ability to run its expenses at a deficit to act as a stimulus.
The reality is that it is in the interests of everyone, not just Americans, for the US government to be able to spend relatively freely. Surpluses are nice but they are a luxury the world's financial engine can rarely afford.Improve this
Nobody is going to risk financial instability in the US by calling in the principle sum on the loans that it has taken out
There really is no problem with the Federal Government running at a deficit virtually permanently – as it has for most of its history. There is no threat of a default as this would require any lender to commit financial suicide as a result.
The deficit allows the most powerful economic actor on earth to act as a stimulus to those in smaller roles. Paying down the debt reduces money supply and, ultimately, contracts the economy. By relying on the savings of nations like China, through bonds and other instruments, the US is furthering its traditional role of being the primary engine of global economic growth.[i]

Improve this
This may well have been the case when a AAA credit rating could simply be taken for granted but it is no longer the case. Standard and Poor has down-graded America's credit rating[i] and China looks set to follow suit[ii].
A lower rating means paying higher interest on government borrowing. This is new territory for the US; an economy that has no experience of anything other than top ratings. Suddenly all that money from China doesn't look so cheap and the engine of the world economy is running in to trouble. It's time to stop being reliant on other people's money.
[i] Robert Peston. "US Loses AAA Credit Rating After S&P Downgrade". BBC. 6 August 2011.
Improve this
A recession is not the point at whcih debts should be paid back. The state should focus on job creation strategies
It would be the height of irresponsibility for the US government to even think about giving anything a higher economic priority than the creation of jobs at a time when unemployment is running at 9.1%.
It is essential that the federal government uses its economic muscle to get Americans working again rather than settling fairly obscure points of economic theory.
Taking money out of the system will cost jobs and hurt business, it will also lead to redundancies in the public sector. Ultimately it would be self-defeating. Admittedly, the Bush regime should have been running the economy at a surplus but it didn't and that is the reality that the current government needs to deal with.Improve this
At some point the US needs to come to terms with its debts and a gradual collapse of confidence in the US's ability to pay its debts will not help the American economy or anyone else's. With a declining tax base – both as a result of unemployment and an increasing burden of economic inactivity through retirement, the government will increasingly have to demonstrate that it is 'good for the money' rather than just assuming that something will turn up.
Despite hundreds of billions poured into the economy since the start of Obama's time in office, the economy remains stagnant. As a result it's time for the government to demonstrate that it can use austerity as well as largesse to solve the problem.Improve this
The US should focus on divising ways in which to pay the medicare and medicaid bills faced by its population
The realities facing the US government are that it has two separate sets of bills to pay. On one hand there are those to central banks and overseas investors. The others are to its own citizens who have been giving the government their tax dollars over the course of a working lifetime on the understanding that they would recoup that money in healthcare and other benefits at a later stage.
The priority has to be domestic expenditure.Improve this
If China moves to recall the trillion dollars or so that they are owed because they no longer trust US debt, or even just to offload it, the effect on the average American would be devastating. The benefits in increased exports would be more than compromised by increased costs for basic goods and services. Inflationary pressures would become severe and interest rates – one of the Fed's primary tools in fighting the recession – would be forced to rise to combat it.
It simply makes no sense to run the risk of the sort of collapse that would ensue if the government loses the ability to borrow because of a lack of confidence.Improve this

The Dar es Salaam Merchants Chamber has proposed that the new constitution should state the government should provide secondary school education for free.
Secretary Shaukat Jaffer told The Guardian yesterday that this was among proposals given to the Constitutional Review Commission (CRC) when the chamber gave the members' views.
"For many valid reasons, the government should be obliged to provide free education up to secondary level which is now the basic education," said Jaffer.
"The Chamber has given twelve proposals to CRC but strongly recommended the right to free education in the country… the present constitution has failed the people on this," said the secretary.
He stated that the new constitution must state that education up to secondary school level is available even to those coming from poor families.
"It is through this provision that we will also determine what type of nation we want to raise as education is very important to all Tanzanians in this current world" he said.
Jaffer disclosed that children who are denied the right to education are many because poor families are many compared to those who can afford education up to secondary level.
Jaffer cited this as something that creates two distinct classes of people in the country, comprising those who cannot afford education and another who can afford it.

Friday showers will clear for weekend, Preakness
Skies should clear in time for the races at Pimlico on Saturday, but the ladies may have to hold on tight to their Preakness bonnets. NWS forecasters are calling for these late-week gray skies and showers to clear off by Saturday. But they're comparing the winds due on Saturday to the tree-shakers we saw on Sunday.
The atmospheric setup for the next three or four days is kind of complex and unusual. There is a big high-pressure system off the coast that's sending cool, moist Atlantic air our way today on east winds. It has also pushed a cold front south as far as eastern North Carolina, keeping us cool and damp and drizzly into the morning.
Portions of Montgomery and Anne Arundel counties got close to an inch, or more, in last evening's storms.
They're not predicting much more in the way of rain today, however. And the cold front is beginning to push north again. Winds will slowly swing to the southeast as the offshore high starts to move away, and temperatures will rise into the 60s as a bit of sun peeks through later today.
By Friday we'll be dealing with the next cold front, slipping down out of the northwest as low pressure moves across the Great Lakes to our north. Before that front gets here, though, we'll see winds shift to the south and southwest, bringing warmer, wetter air our way. That will mean some morning showers, a break, and then more showers and thunderstorms possible late in the afternoon or Friday evening.
Once the cold front passes by, Saturday will begin to dry us out. Skies will become mostly sunny, and race fans should expect it will be "windy on Saturday, like it was last Sunday," forecasters at Sterling said in this morning's forecast discussion.
Temperatures at the track may reach 75 degrees Saturday afternoon. Pretty nice. But hold onto your hats.
Sunday looks nice, too ... sunny and low 70s. The next chance for rain will come late Monday and continue most of the week.

Economic Survey 2013: Agriculture reforms must, says report. With agriculture growth rate falling short of the 4 per cent target in last five years, the sector needs urgent reforms to boost crop yields and private investment in infrastructure so as to motivate farmers and feed the growing population.
The farm sector achieved 3.6 per cent growth during the 11th Five year Plan (2007-12), falling short of the 4 per cent growth target, although it was much higher than growth of 2.5 and 2.4 per cent during 9th and 10th Plans, it added.
The agriculture sector is broadly a story of success in the past few years, "yet, India is at a juncture where further reforms are urgently required to achieve greater efficiency and productivity in agriculture for sustaining growth", the Survey said.
There is need for stable policies where markets play an appropriate role, private investment in infrastructure is stepped up, the public distribution system (PDS) is revamped, food price and food stock management improves, and a predictable trade policy is adopted for agriculture, it added.
These initiatives need to be coupled with skills development and better research and development (R&D) along with improved delivery of credit and seeds.
Stating that the country faces the stiff challenge of feeding its growing population, the Survey said that there are constraints and challenges that need to be addressed so that the farming community is motivated to produce more and the target of 4 per cent agri-growth is met in the 12th Plan.
"Improvement in yields holds the key for India to remain self-sufficient in foodgrains and also make a place for itself in many agricultural crops and products in the international market," the Survey noted.
The Survey also called for "urgent attention" for efficient management of food stocks, timely offloading of stocks, and a stable and predictable trade policy.
"...this policy of stocking foodgrains well above the buffer norms comes under criticism on the grounds of hoarding and creating artificial shortages in the market, thereby jacking up the prices of essential commodities," it noticed.
Noting that declining per capita availability of foodgrains has been a major concern, the report said steps need to be taken to improve nutritional security, that includes adequate supply of foodgrains and protein-rich items.
To improve agri-marketing, the Survey suggested reforms to encourage private sector to develop market linkages.
"Recently, the government allowed FDI in retail, which has been supported by many farmer organisations as well, and it

Why can't I fly a kite, have barbecues, or play loud music? Why are your rules different from the other parks nearby?The Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge is a federal wildlife refuge and its main purpose is to preserve habitat and wildlife. Federal laws state that only activities that are compatible with refuge management and help conserve habitat are allowed. This includes enjoyment of the refuge through wildlife-oriented recreation such as bird watching, environmental education and interpretation, nature observation, etc. Certain activities such as kite flying and loud music disturbs wildlife and does not promote conservation.
I found an injured animal. Can I bring it to your refuge?Refuge staff are land managers and are not trained to rehabilitate animals. Injured wildlife could be brought to Ohlone Humane Society in Newark which is only a five-minute drive from the refuge offices in Fremont. Call them at 510-792-4587.
Why do you allow duck hunting on a wildlife refuge?Hunting as been determined by Congress to be an acceptable wildlife-oriented activity as long as it does not harm the population and does not interfere with refuge management, and should be included if possible. The reasoning is that hunting would not be possible if wildlife populations are poor and habitat is not managed correctly. All hunters must purchase a Federal Duck Stamp. The proceeds from the sale of Duck Stamps are used to purchase additional wetlands for conservation.

LOS ANGELES - The Lincoln Motor Company is taking its mission of bringing personal service to the consumer out West with a luxurious display at the Los Angeles Auto Show. As a part of its reinvention, the brand is making it a priority to increase awareness and favorability among consumers in the premium segment and culturally progressive buyers on the West coast.
The show, which draws around 950,000 people throughout its duration, will give Lincoln an opportunity to increase brand recognition and gain momentum for sales on the West Coast. Visitors of the display will be greeted by lattice walls with vitrines containing art, a collection of "Lincoln Loves" items that tell the history and story of Lincoln, including the quality and craftsmanship over the years.
A focus of the display will be increased visibility of the Lincoln MKZ nameplate by personally introducing the car to premium car consumers on the West Coast. "We will feature three powertrain options of the MKZ, including the Hybrid, and have on-site Lincoln Experience Specialists to introduce potential customers to the vehicle and tell the 'Z' story," said Joe O'Connor, manager, Regional Auto Show.
The gallery also will also be the first public reveal of the all-new Lincoln MKC, the all-new small premium utility vehicle Lincoln unveiled in New York earlier this month. Guests will get to see an LED wall telling the story of the vehicle along with on-site product specialists to answer potential customer questions and engage visitors.
David Rodriguez, manger, Multicultural Marketing, Lincoln, saw the LA show as an opportunity to connect Lincoln with the Hispanic market. "LA is the fastest growing Hispanic premium market in the country. So it is a very important place to increase Lincoln awareness. " In addition to promoting the gallery through their media partners Telemundo and Univision, Lincoln is having a private performance by Grammy winning artist Jose Feliciano. "We've invited around 100 influential people in the community to the performance at the tail-end of the show to give a personal introduction to the brand and to get the Hispanic community talking about Lincoln."
Consumers also will get a taste of the personal experience Lincoln offers in the on-site Lincoln Hospitality Lounge. The site will provide guests with Lamill coffee, LA's premier coffee shop, a complimentary gift and showcase a sustainable living wall telling a green design story.
Concierges also will be present to greet and provide clients with on-site test drives to facilitate the transition from being an auto show guest to meeting with dealers for a tailored experience.

In this article I decided to write about my favorite disciple, Simon Peter.
Last week, in a letter to the editor, a respondent asked "Where in the Bible did Christ change the Sabbath from the seventh day to the first day?" This is a very good question because it is one that has been debated throughout the history of the church – should we worship on Saturday or Sunday? Unfortunately there is no clear cut answer to this question; however, there is enough textual information recorded in the Bible to make a strong argument.

When I was growing up, we knew dinner was on the table by 6 p.m. We always ate together as a family every night (except when my brother had practice for basketball or baseball, my sister with orchestra and plays and me with track or softball). Even with our extracurricular activities, we ate together more often than not. It was a time of talking with each other about our day at school, work, friends, family etc.

I ran into an unexpected barrier while exercising today. I'm relatively fit and enjoy recreational cycling, and to stay fit this winter I've been playing on a stationary bike (one of those cool one's with the virtual landscapes than pan on a screen in front of you ).
Normally, I ride at an average exertion of 200-220 watts if riding for half-an-hour. But today I felt up for a challenge, so I hammered non-stop and averaged 300 watts for a half hour ride (there were simulated rolling hills where I stayed around 500-600 watts, and maintained 200+ watts on the flats and down-hills, resulting in the high over-all average, for me at least ). I was feeling great and in the zone while riding, but the moment I hopped off the bike my breakfast started lurching and I made it to the toilet just in time.
I've done centuries, hour long sprints, trail running, rock climbing, and many other high exertion activities, but I've never once even felt nauseous after riding let alone lose my lunch. It's really aggravating to think that my stomach will be the limiting factor in how hard I can ride rather than my legs, so I was wondering if anyone else has run up against this barrier, and what they did to fix the problem.

- Author(s)
- Suslov, Sergey A.; Paolucci, Samuel
- Abstract
- Based on amplitude expansions developed in Part 1 (Suslov & Paolucci 1999), we examine the mean flow characteristics of non-Boussinesq mixed convection flow of air in a vertical channel in the vicinity of bifurcation points for a wide range of temperature differences between the walls, and Grashof and Reynolds numbers. The constant mass flux and constant pressure gradient formulations are shown to lead to qualitatively similar, but quantitatively different, results. The physical nature of the distinct shear and buoyancy disturbances is investigated, and detailed mean flow and energy analyses are presented. The variation of the total mass of fluid in a flow domain as disturbances develop is discussed. The average Nusselt number and mass flux are estimated for supercritical regimes for a wide range of governing parameters.
