|Re: Virtually merge two indexes?

How the indexes will be searched, do you need to search fields in both indexes? If the ParallelReader is not an attractive solution for you, finding a general solution may be difficult. Would it be possible to explore solutions that may work for your specific case? Just a thought. Xiaocheng Chris Lu <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: Hi, Gurus, One thing I want to do is: one index has fields like [primary-key, not-so-frequently-updated-fields, large-content-fields,...], and another index has [primary-key, frequently-updated-fields]. The purpose is to make the indexing process faster by keeping large/stale fields in one index and small/frequently updated fields in another, linked via primary-key field. If I do so, is it possible to keep the index search the same? Parallel index reader may not cut it because it works only for different Documents into different indexes.

The Inspector General's report on the IRS's treatment of conservative groups came out late yesterday. So if you missed it, or simply decided to ignore it till morning, here's what it said.
The key story of the report seems to be this: In the summer of 2010, in response to a huge surge in 501(c)(4) applications and media stories that some of these groups were illegally acting like political organizations, a group of IRS officials developed inappropriate criteria for identifying overly politicized 501(c)(4)s applicants. Those criteria included looking for the words "tea party" or related terms. In July 2011, the director of the IRS told them to knock it off and use more politically neutral criteria that focused on the activities of the group rather than the name or ideology of the group.
Here's where things get interesting: In January 2012, that same group of IRS officials goes rogue and changes the test back without getting management approval. According to the IG report, "they believed the July 2011 criteria were too broad." They're found out three months later and, in May 2012, a new IRS director again demands the test is revised to "more clearly focus on activities permitted under the Treasury Regulations." That's the test the IRS is using now, and the IG seems comfortable with it.
Management, however, isn't happy with what's been going on. They issue "a memorandum requiring all original entries and changes to criteria…be approved at the executive level prior to implementation."
So that's the core of the story. But it's not the whole story. Much of the report is about confusion, incompetence, and unacceptable delays in the IRS unit that manages questionable 501(c)(4) applications. There's no allegation here of politicization. But it's nevertheless unacceptable:
Many organizations waited much longer than 13 months for a decision, while others have yet to receive a decision from the IRS. For example, as of December 17, 2012, the IRS had been processing several potential political cases for more than 1,000 calendar days. Some of these organizations received requests for additional information in Calendar Year 2010 and then did not hear from the IRS again for more than a year while the Determinations Unit waited for assistance from the Technical Unit. For the 296 potential political cases we reviewed, 33 as of December 17, 2012, 108 applications had been approved, 28 were withdrawn by the applicant, none had been denied, and 160 cases were open from 206 to 1,138 calendar days (some crossing two election cycles).
Those aren't reasonable delays. Then there's this charming tidbit: Some of the "letters requested that the information be provided in two or three weeks (as is customary in these letters) despite the fact that the IRS had done nothing with some of the applications for more than one year." Imagine you're the director of a hopeful 501(c)(4) that applied to the IRS a year ago, got no response, and then all of a sudden you receive a letter demanding tons of information within two or three weeks. It's absurd.
These delays impose a real cost, too. It's been noted that none of the groups caught in this net were rejected for 501(c)(4) status. That's true. But many of them are still waiting for a ruling, and others saw their activities held up for over two years.
Some of the information the IRA requested was also inappropriate, and could've revealed donor information that the 501(c)(4) designation is designed to keep secret. Again, quoting the IG report: "The Determinations Unit requested donor information from 27 organizations that it would be required to make public if the application was approved, even though this information could not be disclosed by the IRS when provided by organizations whose tax-exempt status had been approved."
The key question related to the political test remains: Why hasn't anyone been fired? It's not definitive whether there's any evidence that the IRS employees who created the tea-party-focused test and then recreated it after the director objected did so for political reasons. It certainly seems possible. And even if their actions were entirely non-political there was a lot of incompetence and a bit of insubordination. What were the consequences?
Beyond the employees, of course, lie the IRS's procedures. It's too slow. many of the employees don't understand the agency's (admittedly opaque) approach to regulating 501(c)(4)s. The process lacks any kind of transparency. The IG made nine recommendations for fixing all this. The IRS has agreed to implement seven of them, and has proposed alternatives for the remaining two (the disagreements are over how to document the reasons that applications are chosen for review and how to train IRS specialists on the issue).
Unless significant further evidence comes out, however, this doesn't look like the rot went particularly deep. The most cynical interpretation of the facts of the case laid out by the IG are that a group of mid-level IRS employees created a politically motivated screening process for 501(c)(4) applications. They were stopped, twice, by IRS management, and procedures were put in place to ensure they couldn't do anything like it again. The employees failed, but the system seems to have worked, though not before a lot of groups received some pretty shabby treatment.
Going forward, the White House has taken the IG's side. "I've directed Secretary Lew to hold those responsible for these failures accountable, and to make sure that each of the Inspector General's recommendations are implemented quickly, so that such conduct never happens again," President Obama said in a statement.
Wonkbook's Number of the Day: 1/3 (again). Yesterday, that was the share of House committees investigating the Obama administration in some capacity. Today, it's the share of new global oil supplies that will come from the US over the next five years, according to a new IEA forecast. That's a monster piece of the energy-market pie, in case you couldn't tell.
Wonkblog's Graphs of the Day: Google searches for "scandal" coming from the District of Columbia are up sharply. So are keywords like "Benghazi."
Wonkbook's Top 5 Stories: 1) all the world's a scandal, we're just merely players; 2) CBO releases update; 3) immigration reform debate rages; 4) no Medicaid penalty yet; and 5) America strikes oil.
1) Top story: Everything you need to know about all the scandals
House will grill Holder on AP, IRS scandals today. "Attorney General Eric Holder will testify before the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday, where Republicans say they'll grill him about the Justice Department's secret review of Associated Press phone records and the IRS targeting of conservative groups for extra tax scrutiny, among other issues. The oversight hearing had already been scheduled for 1 p.m. on May 15. But Republicans now plan to use the time to address the two issues that came to light this week." Rachel Weiner in The Washington Post.
@sam_baker: somewhere in the federal government there is one guy who isn't furloughed and whose agency is scandal-free. he is the chosen one
Obama second term now clouded by controversies. "Obama's words suggest that he believes there is a way to compartmentalize the business of his second term: legislative and other business here, scandals over there. But things are too messy for that right now. A politician who has counted good luck as part of his skill set will need all the breaks he can muster to pull off that bit of political jujitsu...It is too early to draw any broad conclusions about the long-term damage to Obama's presidency from the news that the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups and that the Justice Department collected two months of phone records from Associated Press reporters and editors. But in the moment, these controversies — along with the ongoing congressional investigation of the attacks in Benghazi, Libya — have created major challenges for the administration." Dan Balz in The Washington Post.
@DLin71: Has the White House been accused of any new scandal since yesterday? I'm "Obama likes Nickelback" away from getting bingo.
The scandals threaten Obama's ability to have a real policy agenda. "[T]he three controversies have reinforced GOP suggestions that the president is arrogant and invasive. The White House said Tuesday that Obama's second term would not be derailed — that he will strike a significant budget deal and secure comprehensive immigration reform — even if only because Republicans want those bills to pass, too." Justin Sink in The Hill.
@mattyglesias: The return of scandal politics is annoying, but a bullish sign about the economy. The post-crisis world is here.
Is this a problem of leadership? "There are at least three leadership talking points we will hear again and again regarding the trio of scandals suddenly engulfing the White House. The first is that every president gets his share of second-term scandals, and that Obama is getting his...The second is that the president needs to get out in front of the scandals...The third is that President Obama will need to make decisive moves in response and ensure that some heads roll...But another leadership challenge the president faces as a result of these scandals is far bigger than how he'll navigate lame-duck politics, manage crisis communications, or appear decisive and in charge. It's how he'll get anything done." Jena McGregor in The Washington Post.
Interview: Alan Abramowitz on why these scandals are not 'game changers.' Ezra Klein in The Washington Post.
Updates on the IRS scandal
IG report: 'Inappropriate criteria' stalled IRS approvals of conservative groups. "Federal authorities have opened a criminal investigation of whether Internal Revenue Service employees broke the law when they targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, the latest setback for an agency that is the subject of withering bipartisan criticism and multiple congressional inquiries. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said Tuesday that the Justice Department and the FBI began the probe after the IRS acknowledged that it selected conservative groups with the words "tea party" and "patriot" in their names for special reviews...Also Tuesday, a widely anticipated report by the IRS's watchdog described the agency's tax-exempt unit — where the screening of conservative groups occurred — as a bureaucratic mess, with some employees ignorant about tax laws, defiant of their supervisors and blind to the appearance of impropriety." Juliet Eilperin and Zachary A. Goldfarb in The Washington Post.
Read: The IRS Inspector General's report on the IRS targeting conservative groups. Brad Plumer in The Washington Post.
This is a problem of incompetence and insubordination. It's not a conspiracy. "The key story of the report seems to be this: In the summer of 2010, in response to a huge surge in 501(c)(4) applications and media stories that some of these groups were illegally acting like political organizations, a group of IRS officials developed inappropriate criteria for identifying overly politicized 501(c)(4)s applicants. Those criteria included looking for the words "tea party" or related terms. In July 2011, the director of the IRS told them to knock it off and use more politically neutral criteria that focused on the activities of the group rather than the name or ideology of the group. Here's where things get interesting: In January 2012, that same group of IRS officials goes rogue and changes the test back without getting management approval." Ezra Klein in The Washington Post.
Explainer: What you need to know about the IRS scandal. Dylan Matthews in The Washington Post.
Sen. Baucus meets with IRS chief. "Steven Miller, the embattled acting director of the Internal Revenue Service, was on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to meet behind closed doors with one of the lawmakers who will play a key role in probing the agency's practice of targeting conservative groups seeking to become nonprofits. He met with Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus for about an hour. The Montana Democrat said the meeting is an early step in the process of his committee's investigation into the IRS and that a hearing will be scheduled soon." Lauren French in Politico.
Interview: A conversation with former IRS commissioner Mark W. Everson. Sean Sullivan in The Washington Post.
Lois Lerner accused of lying to Congress. "Close to 500 groups were flagged for extra review, according to a nine-page letter sent to Lerner today by House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio)...The two Republicans also accuse Lerner of providing false information to Congress on four separate occasions." Lauren French in Politico.
Explainer: Who is calling for what, and whose head, in the IRS scandal. Aaron Blake in The Washington Post.
How is the IRS supposed to vet 501(c)(4) groups, anyway? "The IRS needs to draw a distinction between political groups and "social welfare" groups across the spectrum. Any tax-exempt group that is organized under Section 501(c)(4) must fall into the latter category. That is, the group has to be "primarily engaged in promoting in some way the common good and general welfare of the community."..But they can't be primarily engaged in partisan politics or electioneering." Brad Plumer in The Washington Post.
Explainer: 5 key players to watch in the IRS. David Nather and Kelsey Snell in Politico.
...And why do these groups want the tax status? "They weren't petitioning to become recognized as "social welfare" groups because they were hoping to save on costs. They wanted to keep the identities of their contributors secret...Many major donors — Republicans and Democrats — value their anonymity, prizing the fact that they don't have to become public figures if they give to a non-profit that, ostensibly, does voter education rather than direct political advocacy." Juliet Eilperin in The Washington Post.
Updates on the AP/DoJ scandal
In letter to AP, Justice Dept. insists it has acted properly. ""We strive in every case to strike the proper balance between the public's interest in the free flow of information and the public's interest in the protection of national security and effective enforcement of our criminal laws," [Deputy Attorney General James] Cole wrote. "We believe we have done so in this matter."The Justice Department is allowed to obtain phone records without notifying someone if doing so would threaten the integrity of the investigation. Cole said the Justice Department sought the records only after exhausting other methods of information-gathering." Aaron Blake in The Washington Post.
@samsteinhp: it's been, like, 16 hours since our last major scandal broke. feels like we're due.
...But the whole mainstream media is furious. "More than four dozen media organizations joined forces Tuesday to sharply rebuke the Justice Department for secretly gathering the phone records of Associated Press journalists, calling on the department to promptly return the records and disclose all other pending subpoenas related to the news media. "The scope of this action calls into question the very integrity of Department of Justice policies toward the press and its ability to balance, on its own, its police powers against the First Amendment rights of the news media and the public's interest in reporting on all manner of government conduct."" Sean Sullivan in The Washington Post.
...And Sen. Reid says he agrees. "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Tuesday called the Justice Department's seizure of the phone records of the Associated Press "inexcusable" and admitted the difficulty of defending its actions. Reid went a step further to say there is no way for Justice Department officials to justify a broad seizure of private phone records." Alexander Bolton in The Hill.
Holder said he had recused himself from the probe. "Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said Tuesday that he recused himself from involvement in a Justice Department leak investigation that secretly acquired telephone records of Associated Press journalists...Holder said in reply to questions that he does not know "all that went into the formulation of the subpoena" for the phone records, but that "this was a very serious leak — a very, very serious leak." He said that since he became a prosecutor in 1976, "this is among the top two or three serious leaks that I've ever seen."" Sari Horwitz and William Branigin in The Washington Post.
@AlecMacGillis: Has there ever been such a stark contrast of a besieged WH cutting bait on one fall guy scandal while defending on others? #toughluckIRS
But the real AP scandal might just be how much of this is actually legal. "U.S. law allows the government to engage in this type of surveillance—on media organizations or anyone else—without meaningful judicial oversight. The key here is a legal principle known as the "third party doctrine," which says that users don't have Fourth Amendment rights protecting information they voluntarily turn over to someone else. Courts have said that when you dial a phone number, you are voluntarily providing information to your phone company, which is then free to share it with the government." Timothy Lee in The Washington Post.
...And that presents a real challenge to Obama's credibility on civil liberties. "President Obama, a former constitutional law lecturer who came to office pledging renewed respect for civil liberties, is today running an administration at odds with his résumé and preelection promises. The Justice Department's collection of journalists' phone records and the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups have challenged Obama's credibility as a champion of civil liberties — and as a president who would heal the country from damage done by his predecessor." Scott Wilson in The Washington Post.
Updates on Benghazi
WH: Republicans are fabricating emails. "The White House on Tuesday accused congressional Republicans of fabricating emails leaked to two different media organizations that suggested interest in scrubbing the Benghazi, Libya, talking points...[A] full version of the email, obtained by CNN, suggests that Rhodes never specifically says he wants the concerns of State Department official Victoria Nuland to be addressed at a meeting to work through the talking points. Rather, he wrote that he hoped the concerns of all those involved in the process are considered." Justin Sink in The Hill.
Updates on Sebelius fundraising controversy
More Republicans are calling for an investigation into Sebelius's solicitations. "Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee raised questions Tuesday about Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius's push to raise money for a group promoting the Affordable Care Act...The lawmakers asked for detailed information about Sebelius's outreach to industry groups and whether private funds also went to HHS accounts. Two House committees launched similar investigations Monday." Sam Baker in The Hill.
Interview: Lamar Alexander: Sebelius fundraising 'arguably an even bigger issue' than Iran-Contra. Sarah Kliff in The Washington Post.
Scandal opinion round-up
MILBANK: The uninterested president. "President Passerby needs urgently to become a participant in his presidency...Nixon was a control freak. Obama seems to be the opposite: He wants no control over the actions of his administration. As the president distances himself from the actions of "independent" figures within his administration, he's creating a power vacuum in which lower officials behave as though anything goes." Dana Milbank in The Washington Post.
SARGENT: Scandals might just save entitlements from reform. And that's a good thing, too. "The Monica Lewinsky scandal may have helped save Social Security in the late 1990s. Now the scandal fever currently gripping Washington — IRS, Benghazi, Associated Press phone records — may save Social Security and Medicare two decades later. Liberals who are dreading the scandal-mania that is taking hold should note that it contains a potential upside: It could make a Grand Bargain that includes cuts to Medicare and Social Security benefits even less likely than it already is." Greg Sargent in The Washington Post.
@AlecMacGillis: My favorite of the 20 scandal stories now on Politico's home page: "Chaffetz: Impeachment not off table." #itsrightnexttothesalt
MARCUS: IRS has been too lax on tax-exempt status. "This less-noticed scandal is the mirror image of the one dominating the front page. It's not that the IRS has been too tough on such groups — it's that the agency has been too lax. Groups on the right and left have taken advantage of the tax laws to intervene in elections while hiding their donors from public view." Ruth Marcus in The Washington Post.
ALLEN AND VANDEHEI: DC turns on Obama. "The town is turning on President Obama – and this is very bad news for this White House. Republicans have waited five years for the moment to put the screws to Obama – and they have one-third of all congressional committees on the case now. Establishment Democrats, never big fans of this president to begin with, are starting to speak out. And reporters are tripping over themselves to condemn lies, bullying and shadiness in the Obama administration...[T]he press, after years of being accused of being soft on Obama while being berated by West Wing aides on matters big and small, now has every incentive to be as ruthless as can be. This White House's instinctive petulance, arrogance and defensiveness have all worked together to isolate Obama at a time when he most needs a support system." Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei in Politico.
@ryanavent: Scandal-day twitter gets much more bearable around 8 pm. Presumably because everyone is about three drinks in.
BAZELON: The war on journalists. "In light of the Justice Department's outrageously broad grab of the phone records of reporters and editors at the Associated Press, the administration's unprecedented criminalizing of leaks has become embarrassing. This is not what Obama's supporters thought they were getting. Obama the candidate strongly supported civil liberties and protections for whistle-blowers. Obama the president risks making government intrusion into the investigative work of the press a galling part of his legacy." Emily Bazelon in Slate.
Music recommendations interlude: Scandal, "Goodbye to You," 1982. (Warning: This is hilariously Eighties.)
Top op-eds
BARRO: Don't get too excited about the newest CBO report. "That's because the main factors cutting this year's deficit are one-time effects. Half of this year's deficit reduction comes from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage giants that have been under federal conservatorship since 2008. They will make unexpectedly large dividend payments to the government this year, but that won't happen again. The other half of this year's change comes from higher-than-expected revenues, which are also mostly a one-time spike." Josh Barro in Bloomberg.
YGLESIAS: McCain's 'a la carte' proposal won't fix cable. "Briefly a maverick again, Sen. John McCain wants to require that cable companies offer their channels to consumers on an à la carte basis. It's nice to see a Republican recognizing that a healthy respect for the free market is not the same thing as mindless deference to the business model of entrenched firms. Unfortunately, though à la carte sounds like common sense to many people, it's unlikely to be a good idea. Everyone hates their cable company, and à la carte is a way to vent that rage in a way that would hurt cable companies' profits. But it would do so in a way that would leave most consumers worse off, and generate meaningful savings for only a small minority. The problem starts with a fundamental misunderstanding: the delusion that if your basic package contains plenty of channels you never watch, you're paying for many channels you don't watch." Matt Yglesias in Slate.
PEARLSTEIN: Case for austerity not dead yet. "[T]he idea that countries like Greece, Italy and even France could be relied on to do structural reforms once a stimulus-induced, deficit-driven recovery had been achieved is simply a political fantasy. There is no historical support for such a belief, and everything we know about the politics of these countries suggests otherwise." Steven Pearlstein in The Washington Post.
Newfoundland interlude: Here's a goat riding a horse.
2) CBO releases budget update
In new report, CBO sees brighter economy, smaller budget deficit. "After four years of budget deficits in excess of $1 trillion, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office forecast Tuesday that this year's deficit will plummet to $642 billion, or 4 percent of the nation's total economic output...The forecast puts the nation on track for its smallest deficit since 2008, before the recession hit in full force. And the CBO predicts that the gap between revenue and spending will continue to shrink through 2015, when it will fall to just over 2 percent of the economy — well within the bounds of what economists consider to be economically sustainable" Lori Montgomery in The Washington Post.
CBO is saying that the deficit problem is solved for the next decade. "The last time the CBO estimated our future deficits was February– just four short months ago. Back then, the CBO thought deficits were falling and health-care costs were slowing. Today, the CBO thinks deficits are falling even faster and health-care costs are slowing by even more. Here's the short version: Washington's most powerful budget nerds have cut their prediction for 2013 deficits by more than $200 billion. They've cut their projections for our deficits over the next decade by more than $600 billion. Add it all up and our 10-year deficits are looking downright manageable." Ezra Klein in The Washington Post.
Sequestration update: Defense Dept. will only need 11 (not 14) days of furloughs. "Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel announced plans Tuesday afternoon to reduce the number of furlough days faced by the department's 800,000 civilian workers from 14 days to 11 days beginning in June...Hagel told the audience of several hundred Defense employees that up to 11 days of furloughs will begin July 8. "We did everything we could not to get to this day," he said." Steve Vogel in The Washington Post.
Rep. Owens has a new idea for government bond issuance. "Under his bill, H.R. 1956, people could buy War on Debt Bonds from the government at a minimum $10,000 face value. Annual, tax-free interest on these bonds would accumulate, and owners could redeem them only after 50 years...[I]t would allow holders to redeem their War on Debt Bonds earlier than 50 years, during any year in which the budget deficit exceeds 3 percent of gross domestic product, or if the public debt exceeds 100 percent of GDP." Pete Kasperowicz in The Hill.
What poverty looks like interlude: A new generation of young Americans hopping the nation's trains.
3) Immigration reform in debate
Senate panel rejects 2 controversial amendments to immigration reform. "Several Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee joined with Democrats Tuesday to reject two controversial GOP amendments that would have upended a bipartisan proposal to overhaul the nation's immigration laws by requiring stricter border enforcement and visa standards. The two amendments by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) would have required the Department of Homeland Security to establish a biometric identification system to track people entering and exiting the country at the nation's airports, seaports and border crossings and would have limited the number of legal immigrants who could enter the country with worker visas." Ed O'Keefe in The Washington Post.
Focus turns to border security, temporary visas as immigration reform moves ahead. "The Senate Judiciary Committee continued to plow through amendments to an immigration overhaul bill on Tuesday, revisiting border security provisions before moving on to measures related to temporary guest worker programs. Here is a look at some of the more interesting and important amendments offered, and how they fared in committee." Ashley Parker in The New York Times.
...And the legislative language for student visas, too. "The Senate Judiciary Committee passed a proposal Tuesday meant to improve information-sharing on foreign students – a direct influence of last month's Boston bombings on the ongoing immigration debate on Capitol Hill. The amendment to the Gang of Eight immigration bill from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) would require the Department of Homeland Security to transmit information about student visas into U.S. Customs and Border Protection databases. If that isn't done within 120 days, issuing certain student visas would be suspended." Seung Min Kim in Politico.
Disturbing interlude: The geography of hate, via Twitter.
4) No Medicaid penalty for states
CMS won't penalize hospitals with cuts to 'disproportionate share hospital' funding. "[T]he Obama administration announced that for the next two years, it doesn't plan to penalize states that have yet to expand Medicaid coverage under the federal health law by targeting them for reduced Medicaid funding, according to a proposed rule unveiled Monday. That money goes to hospitals that treat large numbers of poor people. The health law is funded in part by a gradual reduction in extra Medicaid payments, called disproportionate share hospital, or DSH. Those payments help hospitals that care for a large proportion of poor patients who are covered by Medicaid, or who are uninsured...The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposed on Monday that for the next two years, the DSH dollars be reduced based partly on a state's percent of uninsured residents" Phil Galewitz in Kaiser Health News.
The GOP wants to deny the IRS funding for enforce Obamacare. "Republican Sen. Dean Heller (Nev.) is preparing legislation to prevent the Internal Revenue Service from hiring new agents to implement Obamacare in light of the agency's targeting of conservative groups...The IRS is responsible for the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate, and the tax subsidies that millions of people will receive to help them buy health insurance. The agency will also manage the law's new streams of tax revenue from healthcare stakeholders." Elise Viebeck in The Hill.
How Gosnell can save the abortion-rights movement. "While Planned Parenthood applauded the Gosnell verdict, and should be applauded for doing so, the real question becomes how it, and the rest of the reproductive rights movement, moves forward after Gosnell. If the Gosnell case is treated as merely an unfortunate blip, then the mainstream reproductive rights movement will risk becoming a relic of the past, out of touch with modern day feminists who embrace reproductive rights, as well as the grey area of what constitutes a life. But if these groups care about ensuring that reproductive rights continue to exist long after the name Kermit Gosnell has been forgotten, then it is essential that they acknowledge two things." Keli Goff in The Washington Post.
Advice from a 6th grader interlude: "As you get older, things will seem more lame than before. Nothing will change but you, I promise."
5) American oil, and lots of it
IEA: US will account for one third of all new oil supply in world over the next 5 years. "The US will account for a third of new oil supplies over the next five years, more than previously expected, according to the International Energy Agency, illustrating the impact of the shale revolution. In its medium-term review of the oil market, the industrialised countries' energy watchdog sharply raised its forecast for North American oil production from six months ago and slightly cut its forecast for capacity additions from the Opec oil cartel." Ajay Makan in The Financial Times.
For insurers, there's no doubt climate change is real and dangerous. "Most insurers, including the reinsurance companies that bear much of the ultimate risk in the industry, have little time for the arguments heard in some right-wing circles that climate change isn't happening, and are quite comfortable with the scientific consensus that burning fossil fuels is the main culprit of global warming...[T]he focus of insurers' advocacy efforts is zoning rules and disaster mitigation." Eduardo Porter in The New York Times.

Now out of beta, please see Spidertxt Instructions for details
We are excited to be releasing Spidertxt into our new website and are thrilled to have you on board as an official beta tester!
The duration of this beta phase is somewhat dependent on how the application performs, as well as your interaction and feed back on it. A three to four week timeline is expected before pushing live to the public.
This forum article presents the features and functionality of Spidertxt, as it stands in this initial beta release. It provides instructions on how to engage in two-way texting between a mobile device or tablet from the cockpit to a ground based user via either a mobile device, tablet, or the spidertracks web interface.
Spidertxt System Overview
The schematic diagram depicts the communication channels between a pilot and a ground-based user. Key points relating to this system are:
- A mobile device in the cockpit pairs with, and connects to the Spider via Bluetooth
- A Spidertxt message can be sent from the cockpit through the Spidertxt app to a mobile device
- The recipient of the Spidertxt message can reply as they would with any other text message
- The message conversation will also appear in the spidertracks website
- The conversation can be conducted either from the mobile device, or from the website
- When using the website, members who are connected to their Spider by Bluetooth are shown as online
- Messaging can be initiated from the website to the cockpit, whether the pilot is online or not (timeout periods are configurable)
- Note: The reply only link between the ground based mobile device and the spidertracks server. Messaging cannot be initiated from a ground based mobile, however, once a conversation is established communication can continue by replying to the inbound message which has been initiated from the cockpit.
Which mobile devices are supported?
Spidertxt is compatible with iOS (Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) and Android devices. The handset or tablet must have Bluetooth.
Which Spiders are supported?
- Spider S5
- Spider S4*
- Spider S2**
* Early versions of Spider S4 are not compatible with iOS. If you have a Spider S4 and are unsure whether or not you are iOS compatible, please contact us at email@example.com.
** Spider S2 with Bluetooth are compatible with Android versions of Spidertxt only. If you have a Spider S2 and are unsure whether or not it has Bluetooth, please contact us at email@example.com.
Note: All Spiders must have the latest version of firmware to be compatible with iOS. All Spider S5 units will have the latest firmware. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you are unsure of your firmware version.
A) Spidertxt Identifier
Within the go.spidertracks.com website:
- Go to Settings, under Personal, click on Personal Information
- Down the bottom of your Profile, enter a Spidertxt Identifier. This should be your mobile number, but does not have to be. Be sure to enter this in international format, for example in the US, a mobile 555 (111)-2222 would become +15551112222. In Australia, 0425 111 2222 would become +614251112222.
- Ensure all your members follow steps 1 and 2.
B) Message time-out
As an Organisation Admin, you need to configure the message time out. This refers to how long a message will sit on the spidertracks server before being timed-out and therefore not sent, in the event the recipient does not connect to their Spider within the time selected. You are able to select either one hour, one day, one week, or one month.
- Go to settings and click on Manage for your Organisation
- Click on the Spidertxt link from the left hand column, and select the appropriate period. Click Save.
C) Download and install Spidertxt on your mobile or tablet
Spidertxt is a free application available through the App Store for iOS, or Google Play for Android.
- Download and install the application onto your mobile from the appropriate link above, or by searching spidertxt.
- Open the Spidertxt application. it will ask you to enter your phone number. This must be the same number you entered as your texting identifier in the website, including the + for international format.
- Click on Settings and configure Notifications, Canned Messages, and a Signature if required.
Using Spidertxt
D) Pairing and connecting
- Pair with your Spider. To do this search for Bluetooth devices within your mobiles settings. The Spider will appear as spidertracksXXXXXXXXX, where your Spider's 10 character serial number are XXXXXXXXX. You should only have to pair with your Spider once. Note: If you re pairing with an Android you will be asked for a passcode to pair with Spider, use 5203.
- Click Connect in the Bluetooth settings (this will happen automatically when you first pair with the Spider). Note: If you have an iOS device, you will have go to the phone Bluetooth settings and connect to the Spider every time you need to connect to the Spider. Android devices can connect via the Spidertxt app.
- Open the Spidertxt app and click Manage Connection. This will display the number which you configured previously. Click Connect. The app will show that it is connecting, then waiting for validation. Validation can take a couple of minutes depending on the quality of the connection between the Spider and the satellites - the Spider will need a good view of the sky at this time. Once you have been validated you are able to send text messages.
E) Sending a message from the Spidertxt application
- Click on the pencil icon in the top right. You are able to pull contacts from your address book as with any other text, however, all numbers must be in full international format or the Spidertxt app will not accept them, e.g., +155555555555 Please do not attempt to us any punctuation when entering the number for example (555)55555555 or 1-555-555-55555 Your message will likely fail to be delivered if the number is punctuated in any way.
- Write your message with up to 120 characters.
- Click send. If you are sending to a mobile on the ground we do recommend that you clearly identify who you are, by way of a signature or otherwise, as your cellular number will not be displayed to the recipient as the sender (the message comes from any of the spidertracks short codes instead).
Note: If you are sending a message to a mobile number which is also the Spidertxt Identifier for an associated member, then the message will be displayed in the message window which corresponds with that member's name. If you send to any other mobile number you will also have a record of the conversation in the website, however it will be listed by mobile number and not the recipient's name.
F) Sending a message from the website
- Click on Spidertxt (if you do not see this menu, please complete section A) Spidertxt Identifier)
- Under the Members tab on the left hand side, you will see a list of all members which you can send messages to. This will include all members of Organisations which you belong to that have Spidertxt enabled, and who have completed step A) Spidertxt Identifier. If a member is online and validated they will be illuminated with a green icon as shown below. To send a message, simply select the member, type in the message box and send.
Note: The Aircraft option is not functional as part of this beta release.
G) Messaging from a ground-based phone to the cockpit
- If you receive a text message on your mobile device through Spidertxt, then you are able to reply to that message as you normally would with any other text. Once communication has been initiated you are able to continue a conversation by replying to the last message which you have received. In the case where the device in the cockpit may have disconnected from the Spider temporarily, this arrangement continues to function and your reply message will be queued on the spidertracks system according to your Organisation's time-out parameters.
Some limitations of this beta release are:
- Texting cannot be initiated from a ground based mobile phone; reply only.
- You are not able to text cockpit to cockpit (no Spider to Spider communication).
- Text to email recipients is not supported; SMS only.
- Messages coming from the Spider in the aircraft to a user on the ground may not come from the same short code, meaning conversations for the person on the ground will not populate under one phone number.
- The names of some contacts are not shown in the To: field in the Spidertxt application for specific number formats.
- If iOS Bluetooth connection is lost, the user must go back to Bluetooth settings and reconnect before connecting in the Spidertxt application.
- Characters must be ASCII only, accents are not supported.

In an era of tight budget constraints, this project is an excellent
example of Use Change Renovation.
The scope of the Pondella Public Health project was to transform a
former retail facility into a public health unit. The existing
26,400-square-foot building was gutted, leaving the footprint and shell.
The entire interior was redesigned to create a county public health
clinic to better serve the growing needs of the surrounding Ft. Myers
community in Lee County, Florida.
Special services include a Woman-Infant-Child (WIC) Clinic, Communicable
Disease Care, Pharmacy, Vital Statistics Suite, Record Keeping and Staff
area, Administration area, Conference areas and large multi-purpose
meeting room with ancillary facilities. This multi-purpose area will
easily convert into an Emergency Operations Center for the community
should the need arise.
Each department has its own entry painted in a distinctive color, a
lobby and reception/waiting area. All informational literature for the
patients will key to the departmental entry color for ease in
identification. The building is designed for interior expansion into a
2,000-square-foot area presently used for general storage.
An interconnecting hallway between the departments allows total access
and creates ease in communication. Should the facility be needed as a
triage area during public emergency, this interdepartmental hallway
design will allow for easy access and mobility to quickly move large
numbers of patients requiring services.
In order to bring this medical facility within current Florida Building
Code, the roof and wall structure was reinforced and all windows and
doors were selected to withstand 130/mph winds.

One Day Can Make A Difference In You! (3 of 4) by Dan Hill
This content is part of a series.One Day Can Make A Difference In You! (3 of 4)
Series: Under the Influence
Dan Hill
John 14:19-20
In the 14th through the 16th chapter of John's Gospel, in one of the last few conversations with his disciples, he said that he was going away. But he said that it was better for him not to be here in the flesh because he was sending another one just like him. He said that the Holy Spirit of God, who was in fact God, would come to not just be WITH them, but he would be IN them.
John 14:19-20 - "Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. ON THAT DAY you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me, AND I AM IN YOU."
Jesus had a specific DAY in mind when he made that statement. We know now, that he was referring to the Day of Pentecost.
Then, in Luke 24: 46-49, Jesus gave his disciples a specific and pointed assignment with a promise:
"…This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; BUT STAY IN THE CITY UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN CLOTHED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH."
What an awesome but totally overwhelming job he gave them. Think about this: God was entrusting the redemption of all mankind to a group of mostly, unlearned, uneducated, fallible, imperfect human beings. Not only that, but consider the fact that in the face of a world-wide mission, they had no money - no mass media - no sophisticated system of transportation - and at this point, the whole world had not even been discovered yet. I mean, it was a totally impossible assignment! And Jesus, knowing that they were completely inadequate, told them that they needed a specific experience that would equip them for what they needed to do. This experience that Jesus told them they needed had been predicted ...

Inspired by the River Nene and its significance to the history of boot making in England, the John Lobb autumn/winter 2017 presentation explored the journey of the river, and the elemental nature of water.
With a focus on flowing, uninterrupted lines, the workings and finishings of raw materials underline the collection, which celebrates the vital link of nature and industry present in Northampton since the 16th Century.
Newly developed rubber soles based on archival wooden lugs and paired with the distinctive storm welt feature throughout the collection, ensuring singular protection from the elements.
A group of wholecut models highlight the house's unique use of large pattern pieces, emphasizing the inherent quality of the leathers used. An oxford is punctuated simply with five eyelets and waxed laces. The purity of a loafer absent of any stitches is underlined with distinctive punching and tassels.
Complementing a full brogue duo, a recipe from the Bespoke archives named 'Brun Lobb' has been unearthed and redrafted with meticulous care and collaboration between Artisans of the Northampton factory and Bespoke Atelier.

text: If you have, say, an Android or iOS device, there's a good chance that you take access to the BBC iPlayer services for granted. But if you've opted for Windows Phone, it is something you probably still dream about and hope for.Why no BBC iPlayer for Microsoft's platform? Basically, it seems to be incompatible. When asked about bringing iPlayer to Windows Phone, the BBC's on-demand head Daniel Danker responded by saying it isn't cost- or time-effective for the corporation to bring iPlayer to Windows Phone, because there is a lack of support for HTTP live streaming on Microsoft's mobile platform.He added that live streaming is also impossible because of a 'bug' in the software that can't secure the session, breaking the BBC's copy protection system on the mobile devices. It seems that Microsoft is aware of the issue and is working on a solution to it. Until Microsoft comes up with that solution, the BBC isn't going to even look at an app for Windows Phone.So if you have a Windows Phone and a love of the BBC's output, you might be in for a long wait before you get to see your TV favourites on the go. Hopefully it will be sorted out eventually. When it is – and the app is finally ready – we will let you know. Just don't hold your breath in the meantime.Source: Engadget

Question about Honda Civic
Step daughter has a 1989 honda city with the 12d engine and a carb , hesitates at intersections and stalls ,
it haS A slight miss till about 5000 revs ,at about 3000 when driving up road you can feel it surging , is more previlent when engine gets warm and seemed worst when raining? . often it stalls as you are coming off a roundabout . The float adjustment screw speaped a bit of petrol so i chucked some stuff in recess to stop that . but not sure if letting to much gas in bowl would cause problem float seemed to be set to high, can't find obvisous vaccum leak gonna try a bit of ether tomorrow. looks like some one had done some work to carb before with new lookin gaskets but the previous owner said it had problem for a while hmmm. anyway any ideas ta james
Posted by rangibrains7 on
This is what id do...
Id remove all the spark plugs and inspect them.
This is how i diagnose fuel/spark suspect issues.
Buy doing this you will be killing two birds with one stone.
1.See if the plugs have been firing correctly.
2.Are the plugs fowled or are they running to lean?
If your fuel/air mixture is too lean it will not ignite properly on the power stroke. So it may miss one power stroke until the next power stroke comes along which would add more fuel and then ignite.
Something like this will be causing that funky stuttering missing that you have described above...
And id say if it comes right over 5000RPM thats probably because the carb your running is a two barrel or similar and the second butterfly will open roughly about then and be providing that extra mixture.
I encourage you do just do a bit of investigating you will eventually find your problem.
I wouldn't go buying random parts and just throwing them on until you no what actually needs fixing other wise its just a stab in the dark...
Hope this helps let us no how you get on...

Inspired by Mary Shelley (and a little Mel Brooks) ESPNOutdoors.com decided to create what we believe is the unbeatable, unshakable, brilliantly talented, funny, quick-witted, jig-droppin', power-finesse throwin', swimbaitin', patiently-quick and in a word, perfect, angler.It was suggested that we post a photo of Kevin VanDam and be done with it, but our creativity would not — could not — be stifled.
For suggestions on which anglers to chop up and reorder in our basement laboratory, where we will create an angler that has a shot at making more money than Boyd Duckett, we went straight to the source. With the Elite Series anglers' support, here are the pieces of our perfect angler:
Aaron Martens' adjustment of baits
For this, we'll turn the floor over to your 2006 Angler of the Year, Mr. Michael Iaconelli: "When you see Aaron practice, nine times out of 10, he's not even fishing. He's got his hatch open and he's fiddling. He's probably the best fisherman I've ever seen when it comes to modifying baits on the fly. And here's the interesting thing about it: He's colorblind! But he's able to put together baits to find the perfect pattern, the perfect size, shape. You can ask anybody out here. He's the best at doing it. It's just that weird sixth sense intuition. It's creepy."
Peter Thliveros' patience
Thliveros is the consummate Floridian when it comes to pacing himself. At times, he appears to have already retired, fishing with nowhere else to be. "I've seen him work a Carolina rig in one spot," Iaconelli says. "It looks like he's growing mold on it, he's working so slow." For the power fishermen like VanDam and Iaconelli, who try to hit as many targets as possible in a given day, there must be something hypnotic in watching a methodical angler like Thliveros pick apart a given spot. The $500,000 Thliveros earned by winning two Major tournaments over the past two seasons is equally mesmerizing.
Skeet Reese's versatility
Reese, in 2007, caught bass in the bottom of Texas, in the redwood forests around his native California, and in a lake between New York and Vermont. He caught them in February in Alabama, and caught the heck out of them in August in Maryland. "He's done well at everything, and if you look back at his years, he's always done well," fellow Elite Series angler Greg Gutierrez said. "It's just this year, he's stuck in the limelight, and it forces people to look at him." He needs to catch just a few more, in Florida, to win his first Angler of the Year title.
Rick Clunn's logical spirituality
Like VanDam, it's hard to know even where to begin (or stop) plucking traits from Clunn. Everyone agrees that his perception is different from any other angler's. Here's how Skeet Reese tries to explain it: "He's the master of understanding emotions and life and being able to incorporate the human emotion with natural emotions." Kevin Short flanks Clunn from the other side: "He's a very logical individual, and that's a good quality in this business, because you do have to pay attention to what's going on out there. Not just what's physically, but what's going on in your head." Where does the mind end and the body begin? Where does one being end and another begin? Clunn may not have the answers to these questions, but he has pondered them more than any other angler on this tour, guaranteed.
Greg Hackney's perseverance
Born and reared in the oppressive, sticky heat of the lower Arkansas River delta, Hackney is the man you'd want in the boat if your life depended on catching a single fish.
"He's very methodical when it's tough and you've got to grind it out," Short says. "He's maybe the best grinder. Pour out a five-gallon bucket in the parking lot, and if anyone's going to catch a fish out of it, it'd be him."
Terry Scroggins' mat-flipping
Another Floridian, Scroggins is accustomed to targeting bass lurking in thick vegetation. Partly as a result, other anglers are accustomed to seeing him excel any time a lake is stocked with plants. "He's the king," says VanDam. "There's a lot more to flipping mats than tying on a big sinker and punching it through there, and there's nobody who does it better."
Mike McClelland's jig
The Arkansas native is the one of only two anglers — the other being VanDam — to win two Elite Series events, and both times he did it throwing a jig. The first, at Grand Lake last season, was a runaway; the second, this year at Clarks Hill, required him to erase a 6-pound deficit on the final afternoon. "I wish that I had the year-round confidence that Mike McClelland does in a jig," VanDam says. "Sometimes that's good and bad, but he's going to try to make it happen no matter where he goes in the country, no matter what time of year."
VanDam's efficiency
It's not just that the guy can make a hundred casts using the same number of motions it takes a normal angler to make 15 — though he can do that; it's that he never seems to have two bad days in a row (or even one, come to think of it). He has a remarkable ability "to make the right decisions and do the job at hand," says fellow angler Skeet Reese. With KVD, there's no wasted motion or emotion. Says Short: "He's a damn Frankenstein in his own right. Whatever there is to be done, he just does it."
Fred Roumbanis' use of swimbaits
The California kids may be moving East (Aaron Martens to Alabama, Roumbanis to Oklahoma) but they're bringing with them techniques and baits from perhaps the most geographically diverse state in the union. The big swimbaits Roumbanis has been slinging are a big reason why he's the most improved angler in the points this season, and why he more than doubled his career earnings with a win in the Bassmaster American this year. Not convinced? Roumbanis' URL says it all: swimbaitfred.com.
Iaconelli's passion
The yelling, the cussing, the celebrating — to other anglers and to fans of the sport, they make him either a hero or a villain. In 2006, they were both, as the wiry New Jersey angler threw a tantrum that earned him a Day One disqualification at the Classic, then buckled down during the season to wind up with his first Angler of the Year title. Saying so may be cliché, but in this case, it may even be true: No one wanted it more.
John Murray's dropshot
Murray quietly enjoyed a season that could be described as Skeet-Lite. The Arizona angler racked up a half-dozen top 12 finishes, including two top-3 finishes in eight days in New York State — not bad for a guy from Arizona. "Day in, day out, the guy's so good with a dropshot, it's unbelievable," VanDam says.
Steve Kennedy's joie de vivre
Where's he going? We don't know. What's he going to do when he gets there? No one has the faintest clue. But somehow, Kennedy opens his mind to each new day in a way that allows him to catch terrific amounts of fish. "It's almost childlike," fellow angler Short says, in a good way. "When he's like that, he's making every cast like it's his first one, and every fish is like the first one he caught in his life." How many times has Kennedy been so thrilled with a fish that all he can say is, "It was awesome"? Plenty.
Kenyon Hill's sense of humor
This is the guy who, at Lake Erie, said he'd round up the anglers with a bullhorn for a lunch break if they were forced to fish in the Niagara River, and the guy who managed to trim and rev his motor, absolutely drenching emcee Keith Alan on Lake Dardanelle last month. By our count, that makes him a formidable presence in both verbal and physical comedy, a rare two-fer.
Gerald Swindle's mouth
To get a sense of Swindle's locution, envision Bassmaster's answer to "King of the Hill's" Boomhauer, plus about 10,000 volts and a side of Eminem. And it's not just that he talks at the speed of sound; he also has a quiver of analogies and one-liners fit for late night TV. One of his greatest hits from this year came in Greensboro, N.C., after bombing on its Lake Townsend. "I feel like I got double-dipped in peanut butter and rolled down a dirt road," he said at the weigh-in. "I don't want to go back out there. I don't care if I ever see Townsend. If I had a house there, I'd burn it down and move back to Alabama." You've never heard such applause for an angler who just ripped the hometown lake.
And thus, there lies our creation.
Like most of the baits the pros are catching their fish on, we are still trying to perfect it, but it should be on the market next year. If you feel we were off — or have another suggestion — be sure and comment at the bottom of this page.

Angie Martinez: The legendary radio personality talks to In Touch about getting up close and personal with A-list artists
Angie Martinez dishes on everyone from Jay Z to Justin Bieber
Before Beyoncé, there was … Angie Martinez. From the earliest days of his career, Jay Z used to invite the hip-hop DJ to sit in his car and listen to his music before the rest of the world could hear it. "He trusted my opinion," Angie tells In Touch. "He appreciated that I was honest. I'd tell him, 'I hate the third verse on this song.'" That's just one of the countless behind-the-scenes stories Angie dishes about in her new book, My Voice. From the final in-depth interview with late rapper Tupac Shakur to her raw and revealing sit-down with Chris Brown after his attack on Rihanna to her own physical fight with her then-rival DJ Wendy Williams, Angie, 45, holds nothing back. "I've had an amazing career," says the mom of Niko, 13, "and I just really wanted to document it all." Angie broke into radio at age 16, answering the phones as an intern at New York's Hot 97. Soon she was hosting the afternoon drive and reigned supreme right up through her move to Power 105 in 2014. She had an instant rapport with the artists she talked to. Lil Wayne liked her so much he once had a diamond tennis bracelet hand-delivered to her Angie sat down with Chris soon after he beat up thengirlfriend Rihanna. "I wasn't there to be judge and jury. I wanted to talk about what happened and what his take was." She thinks he's come a long way: "Having a kid changed him a lot." for her birthday. "I was just staring at it thinking, This has got to be a $40,000 bracelet! Is he crazy?" she recalls. Some interviews were tougher than others. "The hardest one was with Chris Brown in 2009," she shares. "It's also the interview I feel proudest of. I tried to be fair to him as a human being." Her 1996 Tupac interview lasted two hours, but she cut it to 12 minutes because she didn't want to pour gasoline on the East Coast–west Coast rap war. "It was a hostile time," she says (Tupac was shot to death in Las Vegas in September of that year). Her beef with Wendy Williams made headlines when a heated exchange turned violent. "Before I knew it, I was swinging at her," Angie says, recalling a long history of Wendy talking trash about her on-air. She's clocked almost 30 years in the business, and has no plans of going off the air any time soon. "Growing up, I never imagined this would be my life," says Angie, who lives in New Jersey with her manager boyfriend, his son and Niko. "I'm just one of those people who got an opportunity and worked really, really hard."
— Reporting by Katie Bruno The R&B diva threw Angie a baby shower at the Hot 97 set. "No one is more festive than Mariah," says Angie. "There was cake, balloons, champagne. … It was so sweet." "People should give him a break," Angie says of the bad-boy pop star. "I got good vibes from him and was impressed with how much classic hip-hop he knew. He did a Biggie [Smalls] rap for me!"
Brohdee "runs in a goofy way when he's excited," which reminds owner Erin Najuch of the talk show host's dance moves. And, like the famous vegan, "He loves eating fruits and veggies."
DIGGING JAY Z HER MEMOIR Angie's book, hit
"He's a stand-up person," Angie raves of her good friend Jay Z, whom she first met in the mid-'90s. Of his marriage to Beyoncé, Angie says, "It's inspirational to see a couple thrive and stay together in this crazy world."
CHRIS BROWN KANYE WEST MARIAH CAREY JUSTIN BIEBER NICKI MINAJ "Nicki really opened up to me about love and relationships," recalls Angie. "She's always interesting to talk to because she's outspoken and also very confident." DRAKE
"Kanye gets a bad rap," Angie insists. "Underneath all the provocative things he says, I think he's really trying to inspire people and raise the bar."
Angie admits she doesn't know if on/off couple Drake and Rihanna are in it for the long haul: "They may be friends with benefits," she says. "They're both young and talented. Anything can happen there."

The FY 2002 Budget Request for the Civil and Mechanical
Systems Subactivity is $52.18 million, a decrease of $1.08 million,
or 2.0 percent, below the FY 2001 Current Plan of $53.26 million.
(Millions of Dollars)
The Civil and Mechanical Systems (CMS) Subactivity
has two major goals: to support research that provides the fundamental
and quantitative underpinning for the engineering profession in
application to civil and mechanical systems and the built environment,
and to support the rapid development and deployment of new technology
to industry and in service to the public. CMS research increases
the knowledge base and intellectual growth in the disciplines of
construction, geotechnology, structures, dynamics, sensors and control
systems, engineering mechanics, and materials, as well as the reduction
of risks induced by earthquakes and other natural and technological
hazards. CMS encourages cross-disciplinary partnerships at the intersections
of traditional disciplines. These partnerships promote discoveries
using technologies such as integrated sensing and autoadaptive systems,
nanotechnology, information technology and advanced experimentation
and simulation to produce high-performance and innovative-engineered
At the heart of the mission of CMS is the improved
understanding and design of materials and structures across all
physical scales, with the eventual goal of seamless and realistic
modeling and experimentation at different scales from nano-level
to mega-system integration-level. Research activities funded by
CMS also include a strong focus on integrated experiments and modeling
to enhance the fundamental understanding of the behavior of complex
structures and systems. This model-based research extends from fundamental
engineering concepts and mathematical theories for analysis through
to simulation and control of complex, nonlinear dynamic systems
and processes. The linkage between physical model experimentation
and computational model simulation demands continued focus on development
of the sensor technologies that are necessary for "smart"
civil and mechanical systems and for assessment of safety and reliability
of constructed facilities and infrastructure systems.
As an additional focus, CMS research aims to develop
advanced information systems and technologies required to sustain
the nation's infrastructure, including life-cycle engineering and
theoretical bases for scalable approaches to civil systems construction
and management. This research includes networking technology, internet-based
data systems, communications technologies, and multimedia global
information systems. Critical infrastructure system management and
service reliability in urban environments is a major concern for
the future. The complexity of the spatial distribution of these
systems is an enormous problem for effective management, and this
complexity introduces interferences that are often only realized
when the effects of criticality cascade from one system to another.
The opportunity exists now to develop system models, system sensing,
and real-time data acquisition and visualization for infrastructure
performance analysis and prediction.
The final major focus for CMS research is the mitigation
of impacts from natural and technological hazards on constructed,
natural, and human environments. Included in this focus is support
for rapid-response reconnaissance and field investigation teams
who are deployed as observers and who collect data following extreme
events in the U.S. or abroad. Interdisciplinary and international
studies involving hazard preparedness and response, societal and
economic impacts, and decision theory are also a part of this focus
area, and CMS interacts with Subactivities in the Geosciences and
the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Activities of NSF.
Reallocation within the base will provide enhanced funding in the
following areas:
Information Technology Research (ITR): An
increase of $500,000 for a total of $1.9 million to support computational
simulation and modeling of complex materials, structures, and processes.
Examples include bridging the materials scales from nano- to macro-
scale for better application of materials in design; development
of complex deployment schemes for sensors in infrastructure applications;
complex experimental modeling to optimize expenditure of resources;
and modeling of multi-modal transportation systems and of hazard
resistance of complex structures for development of more economical
and safe infrastructure.
Nanoscale Science and Engineering: An increase
of $1.67 million for a total of $4.45 million for new capabilities
to observe, create, and manipulate materials and surfaces at the
nanoscale to develop the fundamental knowledge and techniques necessary
to adapt advances in nanotechnology to CMS-related applications.
Examples include superstrong materials for structural use, nanosensors,
low-friction surfaces, and nanoscale motors and actuators.
Engineering the Service Sector: An increase
of $1.0 million for a total of $5.0 million to support research
for complex and integrated models of infrastructure systems, including
physical distribution networks integrated with information networks
that support sensing, communications, decision-making and real-time
control; for enterprise information systems and supply chain management,
including architecture for concurrent product, process and supply
chains in construction and information management.
Sensor Technologies and Imaging: An increase
of $1.0 million for a total of $5.0 million for development of innovative
sensors and engineering microsystems for civil and mechanical systems,
including sensors and systems that are reliable, low-power and wireless
for deployment in civil and mechanical systems, and remote sensing
technologies developed for subsurface, ground-based and satellite-based
Extreme Events and Hazards Mitigation: An
increase of $1.0 million for a total of $15.0 million for development
of knowledge and tools to enable true multi-hazard engineering and
integration of financial engineering, risk assessment, mitigation,
and socioeconomic impacts integrally into the decision making before,
during, and after disasters. Focus will be on the development of
new analytical and testing platforms that exploit advances in parallel
computer simulations and analyses, large-scale structural control
device/system developments, and development of reconstruction strategies
through synthesis of experiences learned from damaging extreme events.
Within the Major Research Equipment account, $24.40
million has been requested to continue the Network for Earthquake
Engineering Simulation (NEES), a project to construct, upgrade,
network and integrate a complete system of test facilities in earthquake
engineering. This national project will also promote international
collaborations for earthquake engineering research. Oversight of
this project will be provided through CMS. For additional information
on this project, see the Major Research Equipment section.

Gu Gels were the original energy gels when they hit the market in 1991. Gu now make some of the best energy products around. Easy to use, simple to digest and they taste great too.
With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
You Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that, as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up and get it sent out to you - it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery Dates provided on product pages.
Gu Gels were the original energy gels when they hit the market in 1991. Gu now make some of the best energy products around. Easy to use, simple to digest, they provide rapid sports energy and taste great too.
Launched in 1991, the world's first energy gel is still the most efficient sports fuel available today. GU's carbohydrate blend delivers high-quality, easily-digested and long-lasting energy for athletes in every sport and at all levels. GU Gels come in a range of six flavours
A shot of fast-acting natural fructose (fruit sugar) goes straight to work building your energy levels back up while the maltodextrin is quickly absorbed and sent to your muscles. Vital electrolytes keep your blood chemistry in line and hydration levels stable. Calcium keeps your muscles humming and caffeine adds an extra kick to your power. Complex carbs in the form of maltodextrin (70-80% of the complex/simple carbohydrates blend) help you maintain glucose levels over time. Citrates (potassium citrate, sodium citrate and citric acid) help speed the conversion of these carbs into energy molecules and mitigate performance-sapping acid build-up in muscles. Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, valine and isoleucine, serve as another fuel source, aid in recovery and can improve mental performance and reduce fatigue by limiting the central nervous systems production of serotonin. Histidine, an essential amino acid, acts alongside the citrates as a buffer that helps neutralize lactic acid build-up in muscles.
Antioxidant vitamins C & E defend muscles from assault by free radicals. Chamomile works as an anti-inflammatory during and after exercise. Ginger soothes the stomach. Sea salt supplies a host of minerals
