Anxiety shakes global markets
Officials trying to allay fears over US credit, European debt crisis
Government leaders around the world scrambled yesterday to head off a spreading European debt crisis that, paired with last week's unprecedented downgrade of the US credit rating, threatened already wavering investor confidence and global financial stability.
Anxiety about the US and international economies intensified over the weekend after rating agency Standard & Poor's on Friday night lowered the US credit rating to AA+ from AAA, heightening concerns about the nation's mountainous debt and political inability to control it.
US stock futures fell sharply in Asian trading, an indication of another sell-off when US markets open this morning. Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average was down 1.3 percent in midday trading, adding to last week's 5.4 percent slump, the worst since the March 11 earthquake. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index slid 1.8 percent, South Korea's Kospi index dropped 2.9 percent, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index tumbled nearly 4 percent.
Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve chairman, said yesterday that he did not think global fears would force the US economy into another recession, but predicted stocks would continue their decline, despite statements by an S&P official that the drop in credit rating would have little impact.
"Considering the momentum in which the market went down over the last week, it is very unlikely, if history is any guide, that this isn't going to take a while to bottom out,'' Greenspan said on NBC's "Meet the Press.'' "So the initial reaction in my judgment is going to be negative.''
Financial markets around the world were hit by panic selling last week over concerns about a stalling US economy and European debt. The European Central Bank's governing council signaled yesterday that it would buy Spanish and Italian government bonds, as a way to drive down borrowing rates that otherwise might rise rapidly and drive them into default.
Finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of Seven, an organization of leading industrialized nations, including the United States, held hastily arranged conference calls yesterday and issued a statement pledging to take "all necessary measures to support financial stability and growth'' in an effort to bolster confidence.
Nigel Gault, IHS Global Insight chief US economist, said yesterday that the European Central Bank's decision was a positive development, helping to tamp down the possibility of a global financial meltdown. The danger is the result of European government debt held by European banks, which conduct business with banks around the world. If governments default, the impact could cascade through the financial system.
"If European banks are in trouble, then US banks who have dealings with those banks are also threatened,'' Gault said. "You have the potential for a Lehman Brothers-type ripple effect through the financial markets. It's the stability of the global banking system that's at stake with the shock emanating from Europe, whereas last time it emanated from the US.''
He added that a failure to make debt progress in Europe could force the US economy to tumble back into a recession.
Several economists said Friday's S&P downgrade is a stark reminder of the longer-term economic challenges facing the United States because of its dangerously high debt levels and Washington's inability to curtail that debt.
S&P cited the nation's insufficient commitment to reducing budget deficits and stabilizing the debt burden. S&P kept its outlook at "negative,'' saying the rating may be cut to AA within two years if further spending reductions under debate in Congress are lower than agreed to.
Kenneth Rogoff, a Harvard economics professor and specialist on financial crises and their aftermaths, said the impact of a downgrade is difficult to gauge at such a volatile and emotional juncture, but debt problems seem likely to make investors in Treasury bonds uneasy in the future, which could lead to costly increases in interest rates.
Once the current crisis passes, "we'll probably end up having a slightly higher interest rate,'' Rogoff said. "I don't think anyone needed to tell us that the debt debate debacle was a disaster, but we're being told.''
Rogoff said even a one-tenth of a percentage point increase in interest rates would cost the government an extra $15 billion; a full percentage point increase would cost $150 billion.
"When Treasury bill rates go up, it affects all the interest rates in the economy,'' Rogoff said, "but at the moment this is still a warning shot.''
Standard & Poor's went further than Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings, which affirmed their AAA credit ratings for the United States. Moody's and Fitch have said downgrades are possible if lawmakers fail to enact debt reduction measures and the economy weakens.
Still, investors seeking a safe haven from stocks and other riskier investments have bought Treasury bonds in recent weeks, despite warnings by Standard & Poor's that it might lower the US rating. Before the agency announced its decision, yields on benchmark 10-year notes closed at 2.58 percent Friday, down nearly a quarter-point from a week earlier.
The higher the demand for Treasury bonds, the lower the interest rate. Lawrence Summers, a Harvard economics professor and the former top economic adviser to President Obama, called the S&P downgrade "outrageous'' on CNN's "State of the Union,'' saying families are going to be the long-run losers.
Billionaire Warren Buffett said in an interview Saturday on Bloomberg Television that the rating agency erred when it lowered the US rating and reiterated his view the economy will avoid a second recession in three years. The nation merits a "quadruple A'' rating, Buffett said.
Standard & Poor's, based in New York, gives 18 sovereign entities its top ranking, including Australia, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom.
The US debt downgrade could pose another hurdle for state and local governments, increasing borrowing costs at a time of fiscal strain for them.
Fifteen states could lose their AAA rating, including Maryland, New Mexico, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, because of the US downgrade.
Massachusetts has an S&P rating of AA, two notches below AAA, because of its high debt burden. Scott Jordan, assistant secretary in the Executive Office for Administration & Finance, said there is no immediate indication Massachusetts could be hurt by the downgrade.
"We are doing a review,'' he said. "The Commonwealth [will] review all its bond and investment transactions.''

Isolate an Audio Signal Quesion....
I built a backplane that has 4 individual connectors where in each connector, a module plugs in. Each module produces a different sound effect.
There is also a 5-way, 2-pole mechanical switch that routes the input signal and power to each of the modules. Therefore, only one module is powered up at a time with the appropriate input signal.
However, the output signal is sharing the same trace in the backplane to the cable which goes to an amplifier, since I thought if the other modules are not powered up, they would have no effect on the output.
Here is the problem, if I plug in more than one module into the backplane there is no output signal or it is extremely low. If I plug a single module in, it works great. My error, I think I inadvertently put all the the modules in parallel.
So, how do I isolated the output signal such that it does not try to go through the 3 unpowered modules?
I thought about maybe adding a diode to each of the outputs or someone mentioned perhaps using an audio trandformer on each of the output lines to block the output signal to the 3 unpowered modules.
Any suggestions will be great.
You need to design the modules so that they each have a high output impedance and just emit some current, or at least have a high impedance when switched off. Wire them in parallel (as you have done) and they won't interact.
Alternatively, make them have very low output impedance and wire them in series. Harder to do, would probably need transformers.
You could also feed audio to all of the modules (in parallel) and put the switch on the output of the modules so that only one module is feeding the output.
Do you really need to power down the unused modules? Try using the 2 pole switch to select the input and output signals, but leave all modules powered on.
why not use an active summing node at the backplane and large resistors say 10k at the modules outputs?
Switch power and output using one rotary switch.
Gajanan Phadte
Here is a portion of the schematic where I connected the battery to the input. Is this a possibility since the battery is DC and the input AC?

General Question
Anyone have any suggestions for getaway cabins in Ohio?
Asked by CrammaDoodle (189) July 25th, 2012
Well, my boyfriend and I have been dating for over three years and we were talking about going on a little getaway.
The thing is, it has to be in Ohio.
I've been looking but I can't find exactly what I've been looking for.
Just want something cozy and romantic with a hot tub and maybe a fire, and not like $1,000 a night!
The idea timing for this is that it's going to happen in the winter (snowy months), so I'd really like something with a forest surrounding. :)
If anyone knows of a place or they've been somewhere just fantastic, I'd appreciated the post.
Thank you!

The President's Savings Proposals:
Tax-Free Savings and Retirement Security
Opportunities for all Americans
This week the Treasury Department announced that the President's FY 2005 Budget includes the following savings initiatives: Retirement Savings Accounts, Lifetime Savings Accounts, Employer Retirement Savings Accounts, and Individual Development Accounts.
The first proposal would create two consolidated savings accounts: Retirement Savings Accounts (RSAs) and Lifetime Savings Accounts (LSAs) that will allow everyone to contribute -- with no limitations based on age or income status. Individuals will be able to convert existing tax-preferred savings into these new accounts in order to consolidate and simplify their savings arrangements. You may also view the President's Budget Message
- RSA and LSA contribution limits will be $5,000 per year. This contribution limit is modified from last year's FY04 Budget proposal, which had a contribution limit of $7,500.
The second proposal would create Employer Retirement Savings Accounts (ERSAs) to promote and simplify employer sponsored retirement plans. The proposal would consolidate 401(k), SIMPLE 401(k), 403(b), and 457 employer-based defined contribution accounts into a single type of plan more easily established by any employer.
- This proposal is modified from the previous FY04 Budget proposal to enhance flexibility and encourage small businesses to fund a custodial ERSA for their employees. Employers with 10 or fewer employees would be able to fund an ERSA by contributing to a custodial account, which is similar to a current-law IRA.
The third proposal would create Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) help lower-income individuals save. This proposal would provide dollar-for-dollar matching contributions of up to $500 targeted to lower income individuals. Matching contributions would be supported by a 100 percent credit to sponsoring financial institutions.
The President's Proposal to Expand Tax-Free Savings Description of Proposal
- $5,000 annual contribution limit (indexed for inflation).
- Available to all individuals â no income limits (contributions cannot exceed compensation), no age limits.
- Contributions would be nondeductible (like Roth IRAs).
- Earnings would accumulate tax-free, and qualified distributions would be excluded from gross income.
- Qualified distributions could be made after age 58 or in the event of death or disability.
- Nonqualified distributions: Distributions in excess of prior contributions would be included in income and subject to an additional tax.
Conversions to RSAs: Roth IRAs, Traditional and Nondeductible IRAs
- Roth IRAs would be renamed RSAs and benefit from the new rules for RSAs.
- Existing traditional and nondeductible IRAs could be converted into an RSA by taking the conversion amount into gross income, similar to a current-law Roth conversion.
- No income limit would apply to the ability to convert.
- Existing traditional and nondeductible IRAs that are not converted to RSAs could not accept any new contributions after 2004.
- New traditional IRAs could be created to accommodate rollovers from employer plans, but they could not accept any new individual contributions.
- Individuals wishing to roll an amount directly from an employer plan to an RSA could do so by taking the rollover amount (excluding basis) into gross income (i.e., "converting" the rollover, similar to a current law Roth conversion).
- Several of the withdrawal exceptions would be eliminated, increasing the likelihood that money set aside for retirement is there for retirement.
- $5,000 annual contribution limit (indexed for inflation).
- Available to all individuals â no income limits, no age limits.
- Contributions would be nondeductible (like Roth IRAs).
- Earnings would accumulate tax-free and all distributions would be excluded from gross income.
- No minimum required distribution rules would apply at any age throughout owner's life.
- Contribution limit of $5,000 applies to the individual owner of the account, not the contributor.
- Contributors could make annual contributions to the accounts of other individuals.
- Annual aggregate contributions to an individual's accounts could not exceed $5,000.
Consolidation to LSAs:
- Individuals could convert balances from Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) or Qualified Tuition Plans (QTPs) to LSAs.
- Individuals could continue to contribute to ESAs and QTPs as under current law.
- Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Archer Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs) would be retained.
One Retirement Plan: Employer Retirement Savings Accounts would combine the array of existing retirement plans into one simple uniform regime:
- 401(k)
- SIMPLE 401 (k)
- 403 (b)
- Governmental 457
- SARSEPs
- SIMPLE IRAs
Access: Available to all employers
Simplified Administrative Rules: The new plan would be much simpler for employers to administer, so employers who are not already sponsoring a plan, especially smaller employers without the resources for administering plans, will be more likely to offer a retirement savings program for their employees.
- A single nondiscrimination test would apply to ERSA contributions, as compared to the double test that currently applies to 401(k) plan contributions.
- Employers could avoid nondiscrimination testing altogether if they satisfy a simplified safe harbor.
- ERSAs sponsored by state and local governments and section 501(c)(3) organizations would not be subject to nondiscrimination testing under certain circumstances.
- A simple custodial ERSA would be allowed for employers with 10 or fewer employees to help reduce costs to small businesses and encourage them to offer plans. The custodial ERSA would be similar to a current-law IRA. Employers would be exempt from annual reporting requirements and provided relief from most ERISA fiduciary rules similar to the relief provided to sponsors of SIMPLE IRAs.
The rules applicable to defined benefit plans would not be affected by this proposal.
INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT ACCOUNTS (IDAs)
Individual Development Accounts would create accounts with dollar-for-dollar matching contributions targeted to lower income individuals.
- Dollar-for-dollar matching contributions provided to individuals up to $500.
- Single filers with incomes below $20,000, joint filers with incomes below $40,000 and head of household filers with incomes below $30,000 would be eligible.
- Matching contributions supported by 100 percent tax credit for sponsoring financial institutions that provide matches to individuals.
- A $50 per account credit for financial institutions to cover ongoing costs of maintaining and administering each account and providing financial education to participants.
- Qualified withdrawals of contributions and matching funds for higher education, first-time home purchase, and small business capitalization.
The President's Proposal to Expand Tax-Free Savings Important for the Future
Continues to Build an Ownership Society
- The United States is increasingly an ownership society. More than half of all households â 84 million individual investors â own stock directly or through stock mutual funds.
- The savings package further promotes an ownership society by:
- improving access by removing barriers to tax preferred saving.
- making savings simpler by reducing complexity and unifying the rules.
- improving fairness by providing the benefits of tax preferred savings to those least able to save for the very long-term.
- Through the savings package, taxpayers get the benefit of paying the tax man upfront, rather than when withdrawing funds for retirement or other needs. Taxpayers' receive the full return on investments giving them greater certainty about the amounts available for their retirement and other needs.
- A majority of taxpayers will be able to move all of their savings in a few short years into tax free savings accounts. This will allow taxpayers to avoid the complexities of reporting financial income on their tax returns and filing a schedule B and Schedule D.
- Increased education and financial literacy will help raise awareness of the importance of savings.
- Financial services firms will be more focused on counseling clients on maximizing financial security rather than the intricacies of the tax rules â adding value instead of paper work.
Enhances Low- and Moderate-Income Savings Opportunities
- The savings package simplifies individuals' savings decisions.
- Complex and confusing eligibility rules are replaced with one rule for both LSAs and RSAs: everyone can contribute.
- The special rules that dictate what qualifies as a penalty free withdrawal are replaced with one rule under LSAs: all distributions are tax-free.
- Tax preferred savings would become universally available.
- Individuals' saving will correspond more directly to their needs rather than to the special uses prescribed by the tax laws.
- The availability of tax preferred savings opportunities to the low income under current law is largely illusory. The flexibility of LSAs allows access to tax preferred savings regardless of an individual's savings horizon and use.
- The current alphabet soup of accounts are available to low and moderate income taxpayers, but their shear complexity, for all practical purposes, closes them to low and moderate income taxpayers who don't have access to the sophisticated tax and financial advice needed to take advantage of them.
- Low-income individuals, in particular, may not have the resources to save for long into the future.
- Low-income individuals are the most likely to need their savings in an emergency, and the most likely to pay penalties for early withdrawal under current law.
- Uniform and simple rules will encourage financial services firms to market tax preferred savings more aggressively and to spend their resources on financial education and literacy.
- Dollar-for-dollar matching contributions up to $500 would be made available to lower income individuals through Individual Development Accounts (IDAs). The matching contributions would be supported by a tax credit to financial institutions.
Promotes Retirement Savings
- The ERSA proposal simplifies and unifies employer plan rules in a number of important ways. ERSAs will be much easier for employers to adopt and administer and will help reduce the costs to employers.
- ERSAs consolidate all types of employer plans into a single simplified plan.
- ERSA custodial accounts, available to employers with 10 or fewer employees, would be exempt from annual reporting requirements and provided relief from fiduciary rules.
- Lower administrative costs under ERSAs will translate into higher investment returns to employer plan participants, which will help encourage participation.
More uniform employer plan rules may lead to greater competition between financial services firms, which may further help drive down costs and increase returns to investors.
Encourages Savings and Promotes Economic Growth
- The package promotes savings in several ways.
- These proposals remove the current law penalty on saving. The after-tax return to savings is increased through greater access to tax preferred savings. Higher after-tax returns encourage savings.The simpler and more uniform rules for individual savings vehicles will encourage more savings.
- Lower costs for setting up and maintaining employer plans will increase returns and encourage additional savings.
- More uniform rules for employer plans will foster more competition for investor funds among financial services firms. More competition lowers costs and translates into higher returns to investors, further encouraging savings.
- Greater savings translates into more investment, greater capital accumulation, and higher living standards in the future.
- Greater savings means a more secure future for Americans of all income levels.

Tail is out and I'm fairly happy for a first attempt.
Need to cut better foam cores. This is really the main point as I'm sure it all stems from there.
Other than that I need to position the mylar better so everything lines up better. I think the disser worked well considering it was hand placed and cut strips.
Seems very rigid and weighs 8g. Again for a first attempt I'm happy and it's certainly usable. Well for a have fun and learn tequnique kind of way.
Next up the fuz and vertical stab. Hope to have better cores for the vert.
Looks just like a D47 to me. I've had D60s in wings before and they were good little servos. I couldn't detect any slop in them and they had good resolution. I know Jun C had D47s on ailerons of his Neos and swapped them out because of flutter issues. But he is launching well over 200 ft, so for us mere mortals the D47 isn't a bad choice. Personally I doubt I'd flutter a wing with D47s (throwing ~160'), but I prefer to use beefier servos anyway.
The vert did not go as planned. I redesigned my templates and managed to achieve a good core from help over on the composites forum. I was very pleased with myself.
I then cut the mylar's and prepared everything ready to go. Pump, bag, tools, cloth etc, I was set.
I had decided to do a carbon leading edge and cut a strip of fabric backed with ATT(Adhesive Transfer Tape). As this was 200g carbon I neglected to include a carbon spar as I thought the leading edge cap might provide the rigidity required. So the carbon was stuck to the leading edge and wet out and put aside while I layed up the skins on the mylar's and wet out.
Now feeling very pleased with myself I turned to put the whole lot together only to find the carbon had come away from the leading edge and would not stick back down no matter what I did. So, off came the carbon and on the mylar went to the core.
This all went into the bag and was vacuumed to see what would happen.
The result can be seen in the previous posts. I'm quite pleased with the finish, and the torsional rigidity provided by the disser but the longitudinal strength is quite poor.
I think the carbon I used was too heavy and as it was woven from 3k very hard to form on such a tight radius. Never mind. We live and learn.
I now have some lighter carbon ordered from f&g so should not have the problem again. Additionally, I will now be including a spar to all my stabs because for the weight cost, why not?
Now to get on with the wings and fuz.
You really need a proper spar on your tails, especially on the vertical. Just doing a LE wrap of carbon won't cut it. For mine I cut a vertical slit about six inches long in the core where the spar will go and slide in a pre-cured strip of bias cut 1.6oz glass. Then I lay a single strand of spread 12k tow over the top on either side. It's not the only way, but it works for me. I'm thinking about replacing this method with .75 mm carbon rods, another proven method.
Thank you Ryan.
I have bagged the wings today but I don't think they will be any good. It's all in the materials and I didn't have any Mylar for them. I used acrylic sheet which might work but I'm doubtful. I have work tomorrow so will pull them out the bag on Sunday. I'll know then if I have to do them again.
In the mean time I need to do new vert stab.

LONG BEACH >> There will be added penalties for adults hosting parties that serve alcohol to those under age.
The City Council unanimously passed a social hosting ordinance on Tuesday that charges violators with a misdemeanor, carrying a fine of up to $1,000, a jail term not exceeding six months or both. They could also be charged with an infraction, which has a $1,000 fine.
The ordinance takes effect in a month.
Councilman Al Austin requested the law in September along with Councilmen Gary DeLong and Dee Andrews following lobbying by the Cambodian Association of America, which is combating underage drinking in its community.
Previously, adults providing alcohol to those under 21 could be prosecuted for contributing to the delinquency of a minor under state law.

Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas pictured at WOMAD music festival together
PRINCE Harry and his girlfriend Cressida Bonas were spotted enjoying each other's company at a music festival this weekend.
The couple, who have rarely been seen together since they started dating, were surrounded by friends at WOMAD: The World's Festival in Wiltshire yesterday.
Prince Harry, 28, tried his best to blend in with the crowd by wearing a dark straw hat and a waterproof jacket as he chatted away to friends.
Blonde Cressida did the same, but opted for a blue beanie hat instead, and kept her distance from her royal beau.
Harry is clearly a big fan of music festivals, as last month he joined Cressida at Glastonbury Festival in Somerset too.
World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) is an organisation founded in 1980 by Peter Gabriel, Thomas Brooman, and Bob Hooton and was hosting it's 27th UK festival.
WOMAD currently holds festivals in over 20 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, UK, U.S. and many European countries, but Harry obviously wanted to stay close to home.
Perhaps Harry saw the festival as the perfect opportunity to celebrate becoming an uncle, fiollowing the birth of Prince George last Monday.
He's already wet the baby's head by going for a drink with friends in a West London pub last week, where loud cheering was heard at 8.30pm when the birth was officially announced.
Cressida, 24, was pictured two days after the royal baby's birth and could be the child's auntie if she ends up marrying Prince Harry.
According to sources, Harry is "incredibly keen" on the dance student.
The Daily Mail reported that a friend of Stowe-educated Miss Bonas said last month: "She and Harry are very fond of each other and taking things one step at a time to see whether or not there might be something more permanent one day."
Last month they were pictured arriving by train at London Kings Cross station after attending the society wedding of the year in Northumberland.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — The Panhandle Health District in northern Idaho is offering incentives...
Category: Religious News
Massachusetts Senate
BOSTON (AP) — As he seeks re-election, U.S. Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts is trying to appeal to Catholic voters.
Brown says his support for an amendment that would allow employers and insurers to refuse coverage for services they say violate their moral convictions is designed to protect Catholics and other people of faith.
Among those services is contraception coverage, required by the 2010 Affordable Care Act but opposed by the Catholic Church. The law exempts churches but includes religious-affiliated organizations like colleges or hospitals.
Brown's Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren has said the amendment has nothing to do with religious freedom, but is instead an attempt to limit health care options for women.

Make Out With Violence Reviews
September 8, 2013
[W]hile the film tackles the subject of personal morality and ethics, it works more as a vehicle for twinkling nostalgia memories of youth.
November 26, 2010
A dreadfully pretentious genre-bender about the pain of unrequited love.
Full Review | Original Score: C-
October 27, 2010
Occasionally inspired but just as often frustrating.
| Original Score: 2.5/5
August 30, 2010
Builds a real air of mystery around the captive girl, what she is, what she is or isn't capable of doing, and what we're invited to feel about her or her caretaker-captors... Made with real filmmaking flair.
Full Review | Original Score: B
August 30, 2010
Make-Out with Violence is a horror movie given the generic low-budget art-movie treatment.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/4
August 28, 2010
Outrageous, disturbing and wickedly funny. It's a stylish, bizarre and refreshingly subversive amalgamation of horror, romance and comedy.
Full Review | Original Score: 7.05/10
Top Critic
August 27, 2010
Filled with clear, bright images and moments of skewed genius, this delicate debut effortlessly evokes those languid summer doldrums, when even a rotting girlfriend is better than no girlfriend at all.
Read More | Original Score: 3.5/5
Top Critic
August 25, 2010
The film invests in spacey horror tropes one moment, plunges into absurdist adolescent angst the next and begs questions every step of the way, but just about holds together.
Top Critic
August 24, 2010
Inventive without being twee, quirky without being overly Wes Anderson, and suffused with a late-adolescent sense of longing as palpably felt as it is understated.
August 12, 2009
This is a far more complex and thoughtful examination of the transition to adulthood and how we deal with death rather than just another zombie flick.
August 12, 2009
If Hal Hartley used to be detachment for people who had lived too much; Make-Out is just lazy ennui, a movie with the momentum of sleep and the conscience of a bored sociopath who likes Gossip Girl.
August 9, 2009
The entire film possesses a certain longing, the sort that manifests itself and begins to grow at the moment of High School graduation, when some of the most formative circumstances of youth are remembered only as ephemeral moments.
July 22, 2009
Make-Out with Violence is proud of its dual identity, yet suffers from an identity crisis.

PHILADELPHIA -- Senators John McCain and Barack Obama warned Sunday that there should be more oversight built into the government's $700 billion plan to stabilize the financial markets but said the potentially enormous expenditure would not force them to scale back their ambitious governing agendas.
Mr. McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, and Mr. Obama, his Democratic rival, agreed in separate interviews that steps should be taken to ensure taxpayer dollars are not used to enrich the executives of troubled financial firms bailed out by the government. They echoed each other in assessing the threat from the financial crisis as severe enough to warrant government intervention.
But Mr. McCain said in an interview here with CNBC and The New York Times that he would press on with his plan to extend the Bush tax cuts and to cut others. Contrary to the warnings of fiscal analysts, he said he believed he could do so and balance the federal budget, which was falling deeper into deficit even before the financial crisis, by the end of his first term.

Motherboard updates
Hi guys,
I'm currently in the process of downloading updates and fixes for my Motherboard ASUS M4n82 deluxe.
I've downloaded all the files I want and have extracted them to individual folders and now I'm stumped.
They are .ROMS
Should I be cut and pasting them somewhere? Or is there some type of program to open/run/install them with?
Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RTM + SP1
Hello Bazerk,
It sounds like you have downloaded the latest BIOS.
If the PC is running fine, don't worry about it.
If you do want to, then you will need to copy that .ROM file onto a USB Pen drive and boot into BIOS.
ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-
That is a walk through on how to update on an asus board.
But as i previously, if the PC is running fine and starting up normally and what not, then ignore those.

also, you should only use the latest ROM version. you dont need every single ROM file (if any). each successive version contains all the fixes/enhancements from the last.

Kai Ryssdal: The White House is sticking up for American wind power. Today the Obama administration made a formal complaint to the World Trade Organization. It says China is illegally subsidizing its wind companies. That may or may not be true.
There will be claims and counter-claims and an investigation. But either way, foreign competition is only one challenge that American wind power companies have to deal with. This week their unofficial spokesman, billionaire oil man T. Boone Pickens, stuck his finger in the air and took wind power out of his plan for America.
From the Marketplace Sustainability Desk, Scott Tong reports.
Scott Tong: T. Boone Pickens once planned to build the largest wind farm on earth. Here's a commercial from his website:
T. Boone Pickens in commercial: We have the best wind corridor in the world. We're going to revitalize rural America with this.
Two years ago, Pickens placed a $1.5 billion wind turbine order from GE. But the problem: transporting the energy from West Texas to the rest of the state. Pickens planned to build his own transmission, but the approvals fell through, says economist Mike Giberson at Texas Tech.
Mike Giberson: That sort of torpedoed his transmission line project, which meant that he didn't have a good way to develop and sell that power.
Hello GE? Cancel those turbines. And delete wind power from Pickens public plan for America's future. Now the other half of his plan -- homegrown natural gas -- is the only part. Here's the new commercial:
Pickens in commercial: We're gonna figure out how to use it. If we don't, I promise you, we will go down as the absolute dumbest crowd that ever came on the street.
Thanks to new drilling technology, natural gas is abundant and cheap. Which makes things tough for everything else: coal, solar, wind. Financial consultant Ray Perryman.
Ray Perryman: Relative prices do matter. And there are times when things work in a market and times when they don't. Right now natural gas prices are lower, and when you have to make it work for investors every quarter, that creates some issues.
But in the energy business, the issues -- as in volatility -- never go away. Perryman's seen oil at $8 and at $108. With natural gas, there are no guarantees either.
In Washington, I'm Scott Tong for Marketplace.

...and tell me how much fun you have on them...
Bike Forum
Show me your M-109's...
I love mine but it's not as good as the Yeti ASR5 I used to own.
self propelled howitzer?
wwaswas - Member
I love mine but it's not as good as the Yeti ASR5 I used to own.
FWIW I'm thinking T129 Works and using my HT for pure racing duties, but want to find out people's day to day trail opinion of the M109.
I'll test both anyway.
As you know, I test rode one for a weekend. It was a very capable bike - really ate up the ground and still had a fun feel on the twisties. However, for me there was something not quite right - maybe due to the sizing or the angles but I never felt completely comfortable on it. It was a xl but I would still have needed to put a setback post and longer stem on if I was to buy it. Probably just my own dimension issues and you may find it perfect WHEN YOU TEST RIDE IT. In contrast I felt at home straight away on the Spearfish I demoed even though it was a size too small. You're not going to buy a Spearfish though, are you.
You're not going to buy a Spearfish though, are you.
No. I want a T129 Works or M109 cs. The bike needs to be "fun" before "race" which err's toward the t129, but I want to know how much fun the m109 is or isn't as that's more racey. But I don't want to plump for the '109 if it's going to be a bore/tiresome in Surrey/Wales/Peaks etc.
not a 109 - rather a T129, had it for about 6months (frame was 2nd hand) and its been great.
The m109 is 'endurance' race, not head down race so is slacker than a pure racer. I was having a lot of fun on the Spearfish before the wet root jumped out and laid itself in my path, and again, that's more modern endurance geo. You've just got to test them, and ideally in the locations you want to ride them. I'm going to give the Spearfish a go at Afan once I'm healed to see how it rides there before selling the Yeti, otherwise I won't be able to tell if it can cover the 'funness' at rockier/steeper locations.
BTW, the most fun I've had on a bike recently was when we rode Surrey, and I had to use my old rapidly rebuilt Soda with forks I hated and tyres with bugger-all grip. Really wasn't looking forward to riding it but had an absolute blast. Just shows that fun isn't always dependent on the bike.
By random co-incidence I was just musing over T-129's and googled them, one of your threads form 7 months ago asking pretty much the same question poped up!
It's comforting to know someone's as indeciseve as me.
Anyone know how the Codeine stacks up against the T-129?, there's only half a degre in the head angle, but a lb and a half in weight seperating them. Quite fancy a new bike next year, but don't want another "winch and plumet" bike, the winching got boring and the plumeting got too easy.
It's comforting to know someone's as indeciseve as me.
Is it?
...ideally in the locations you want to ride them.
Luckily I have a Whyte dealer on the edge of my local forest singletrack. I'm hoping to arrange a morning on one, and the afternoon on the other.
Is it?
Not sure
I had a whyte t-129s and now have a codeine. For me the codeine is hands down a better bike. Ok it's a bit heavier but it climbs fine and is miles more fun on everything else. Also has no flex in the rear stays which the whyte had lots of. Also didn't like the fact I had to get the rear wheel dished off centre to get enough tyre clearance as the chainstays weren't symmetrical! My t-129 also had loads of component failures and the seatstay snapped. Maybe mine was just a Friday bike though.
Oh yeah, that reminds me, the m109 had pretty poor mud clearance at the back which was something else that put me off. It got clogged up at the first sign of Chilterns mud with an Ikon 2.2 on.
Mud clearance not a problem!
I've had an M109 for almost a year and a half, using it for general trail riding and XC racing. I bought it after testing a T129S and an Orange Gyro and prefer it to both of them as a general purpose bike. Only real downside is weight - not compared to the T129 or Gyro, but to carbon equivalents. I can understand why the aluminium version has been dropped for 2015. Apart from that, though, it's ace.

z-680 control pad for z-2300?
I am not sure if this is the right place for this thread. Please move it to the best area.
I saw a add on Craigslist for a Z-2300 sub woofer. It does not have the control pad. I have some old Z-680 speakers sitting around (no amp) so I wanted to buy the z-2300 sub and use the z-680 speakers and control pod with the z-2300 amp and sub. The z-2300 and the z-680 use the same 15 pin cable.
I found this site witch can tell me witch pin does what for the z-2300
Logitech Z-2300 Remote Control Pod Disassembly blog.jseaber.com
I need help finding out what pin does what for the z-680
So I opened the z-680 control pod up and looked at where the 15pin wire was connected to the circuit board . I need some help identifying what they mean and witch ping its connected to.
1st one +8 on top of it j6 on the side and a arrow on the bottom.

Pharrell Williams Keeps It Cool For 'GQ' Spread
At this point, seeing Pharrell Williams dressed up in a dapper suit is not shocking. Doesn't mean he's any less fine.
The mega producer, rapper, singer and all around artist is featured in the multi-cover December issue. Penned as the "Hitmaker of the Year," the Virginia-native received the honor humbly after major hits this year. "There's a lot of f**ked-up travesty in the world," Williams said. "Sometimes you just need a Hallmark card. Sometimes you just need to shake your A$$."
For the shoot done by Steven Pan, the singer posed in Comme des Garçons, Billionaire Boys Club, Gucci, Chanel, Céline and more.

Orange Juice - Why Is It Heavy On My Stomach?
Every now and then, after a cup of orange juice, my stomach feels very heavy & full for about an hour. So days it bothers me, other days not so much. I hear I'm suppose to drink one glass a day (and I try to, not every day though.)
Also, folic acid vitamins 400mg, could it be taken together w/a multi-vitamin? Or do I alternate days? Thanks.

Human-resources management is an essential part of business, but have you noticed the majority of the literature on the topic focuses on the "resources" and "management" aspects but barely addresses the "human" element? Most self-storage owners see their employees as resources to be managed, not as whole people who can contribute so much more.
Managing the whole person means acknowledging the employee is multi-dimensional and has numerous roles to balance in life—all of which affect job performance. However, this goes much deeper than simply work-life balance. It's about recognizing all aspects of an employee to ensure a work-life "fit" that benefits the company and each individual. In fact, when you focus on the whole person rather than just a person's work performance, you build more meaningful connections with staff, which results in greater loyalty and productivity. Following are some suggestions for better managing the whole employee.
See the Input, Not Just the Output
When managing the whole person, you need to look beyond the person's job description. Look past the output (the deadlines, the expectations and day-to-day job duties) and consider the input factors, as these determine the quality of the output.
Input factors are the drivers and drainers in employees' lives that affect their job performance. Some typical examples include:
- The employee's best time of day to get work done
- What's going on in the employee's family
- The employee's physical, mental and emotional health
- Other stressors the employee has, such as being a caregiver to aging parents, being pregnant, being the only income-earner in the home, etc.
- The community or hobby events to which the employee is committed
Basically, it's about paying attention to all of the different drivers and drainers that motivate employees to achieve a level of acceptable performance, go above and beyond an acceptable level, or under perform. Because all the various inputs affect the overall output, being aware of the input makes good business sense.
Acknowledge Everyone Is Multi-Dimensional
Many managers believe that finding out about their employees' lives outside of the work role is intrusive. They don't want to ask personal questions for fear of appearing nosey. The good news is you don't have to ask questions to find out about people. You simply have to acknowledge the clues all around you.

V-shaped recovery gathers pace, says IC Insights
Post a comment
LONDON The 2009 IC market, measured on a quarterly basis and especially with regard to unit volume shipments, has displayed a classic "V-shaped" recovery, according to market research organization IC Insights Inc. (Scottsdale, Ariz.).
Following two quarters that logged 30-year record falls in IC shipments 2Q09 and 3Q09 are set to be highest sequentially quarterly growth rates in 30 years.
Quarterly shipments fell from a peak of 44.1 billion units in 3Q08 to 34.9 billion in 4Q08 and to 28.0 billion units in 1Q09, according to IC Insights. These numbers represent falls of 20.9 percent and 19.8 percent respectively. This is the biggest drop in the 30 years of chip market measurement and was caused by a mix of an efficient supply chain adjusting to lower levels of demand and panic by electronic system producers who slashed inventory, often over-reacting.
The 2Q09 reflected a bounce back to 35.2 billion units, a growth of 25.7 percent, and 3Q09 is predicted to be 41.5 billion units, a growth of 17.6 percent with a slight softening in 4Q09 to 40.9 billion units. This would put second-half shipments of ICs in 2009 at the same level they were at in the second half of 2007.
When the two largest declines in quarterly growth rates are immediately followed by the two highest quarterly growth rates, a classic "V-shaped" has occurred. This performance during the worst global recession for 63 years indicates strong underlying demand for electronic systesm, said IC Insights.
IC insights predicted that 4Q09 IC unit shipments would be down 1 percent from 3Q09 as the seasonal strength of the market slows toward the end of the quarter. But with only slight seasonal strength the fourth quarter could be up dispelling fears of a W-shaped recession.
