Carpets & Candids: Diane's braids
The way I see it, you can't go wrong with braids. LOVE braids. Almost all braids. I was on a braid binge during TIFF this year – a different braid style every day. If only real life could be like that...

Velux also offers a variety of glass types, shades and other options to decrease the amount of heat let into your home. Velux is truly the leader in bringing natural light into your home. When it comes to home improvement, incorporating daylight is extremely important. Why not utilize the world's best skylights, built by the largest and oldest skylight company in the world...VELUX!
Daylight, the natural light, in homes is very beneficial. Our skylights will block harmful UV light that could fade carpets or upholstery, but let in the natural light that is healthy for all of us. Letting natural light into your home through a skylight can make you more comfortable to read or see in your home during the day, and happier as your body absorbs the natural light that it needs to process nutrients as well as improve your mood. Installing tubular skylights into your master closet can help you see the true colors of your clothes, helping you avoid that embarrassing situation of wearing one black sock and one blue sock to work! Let natural light bring out the true beauty of your home décor; buy and install skylights today!.
In addition to lighting your home, Skylightguys.com offers you the ability to naturally cool your homes attic space using the natural light of the sun to run a solar powered attic fan. Many homes have passive attic ventilation with wind turbines. But on many hot days there is not a breeze to be found! But you know you'll always have sun on a hot day, so why not take advantage? Harness the energy of the sun into a solar collector and get attic ventilation by installing a solar attic fan.. Move that super-heated air in your attic space out with a solar powered attic fan. The installation is simple; it can be done by most do-it-yourselfers in under 30 minutes! The idea of a solar attic fan makes sense. Using solar power makes more sense to save energy on running the attic fan while you save money on cooling costs by decreasing the load on your air conditioner. You also can increase the longevity of your roof, and remove moist air from your attic in the winter with the use of a solar attic fan. In drier climates, a thermal switch can automatically shut off the solar attic fan when you don't need it. Using solar energy lets the solar attic fan run when you most need it, when the sun is out. The Natural Light Energy System solar powered attic fan also continues to vent air after sunset because of its unique shaped flashing, acting like your chimney flue to passively vent warmer air with a venturi effect. Become a little more "green" by using a solar powered attic fan! A solar attic fan can be installed in less than thirty minutes.
With tubular skylights you use solar light power reflected through a tube to bring natural light into your home. By using a tube to harness the wonderful and healthy solar rays, you can bring in natural solar light and focus the rays of the sun for the most effective use in your home. We find a tube can work well in smaller applications when a traditional skylight is too large or to costly to install. We have installed tubes for over ten years, and we have installed many different brands. We know tubes!
For you folks in the Phoenix area, The Skylight Guy has worked to become one of the most trusted installers of solar powered attic fans and skylights in Phoenix. We are the recipient of the Velux Nationwide Dealer/Installer award for the year! We are also a "Five Star Skylight Specialist" as we have achieved VELUX's highest certification as a skylight installation company. If you need a skylight dome replacement, a new tubular skylight or Sun Tunnel installed, or a traditional Velux skylight installed you'll want to contact The Skylight Guy! Our customers are always pleased with the rapid, friendly response on the phone and our fast turn around time on installs. Once you make the decision to bring natural light into your home, you don't want to have to wait a month to make it happen! If you choose The Skylight Guy, you won't be disappointed. We have applications to brighten up any home, from a manufactured home to a multi-million dollar estate. You've bought the home of your dreams, and found that you have that dark corner or interior room you hate to have to switch on a light every time you walk in. You don't want to open the plantation shutters and let the heat in or fade your upholstery! Let us help you find the solution to your daylighting needs by bringing in the natural light of the sun without the harsh UV rays or the hot Arizona heat using sun tunnel tubular skylights or Velux skylights. Skylight installation and lighting up your room with just the right touch is our specialty.

Entire Science Fair Project List
bacteria classification?
(Initial Observation)
In order
to study bacteria, we need to be able to identify
each specific bacterium and to do that we need to
be able to classify bacteria. Classification can
be based on the shape, color, and other chemical
and physical properties of the bacteria.
In this project
you will study and experiment classification of
bacteria by the shape and color of bacteria
Bacteria are
single-celled micro organisms that play an
important role in many ecosystems. Bacteria
vary in terms of morphology, oxygen and
nutritional requirements and motility. Bacteria
may be free-living, live on dead or decaying
organic matter (saprophytic), or pathogenic in
plants or animals. Bacteria reproduce by fission.
different bacteria from different sources
and compare the shape and color of
bacteria colonies.
In order to grow
bacteria, you will need culture media, plates or
petri-dishes and some laboratory supplies and
Media: Culture media is a moist or liquid
matter that contains nutrients for bacteria.
Almost any nutrient food may be considered a
culture media for general bacteria, however if you
want to grow a specific bacteria or prevent
growing some other bacteria, you will need to use
a fine tuned recipe for your culture media.
Chicken broth
and beef broth are among nutrients that most
bacteria like. In some recipes you may also add
some mushroom extract. Sugar can also be added to
most culture media. Small amounts of some minerals
such as potassium phosphate and calcium carbonate
may also be added to the culture media. Note that
there are many foods that are good for growing
bacteria, but they are not good as culture media.
For example bacteria can easily grow on milk, but
milk is not a good culture media because it will
change by the activity of bacteria. Part of milk
will solidifies when bacteria produce acids. A
good culture media must be clear and must remain
liquid and should not easily change pH. If we need
to solidify our culture media, we use agar to do
that. Agar is a gelatinous substance that is
extracted from sea weeds. If we need to grow
bacteria for the purpose of identification or
counting, we need to grow bacteria in nutrient
agar plates. These are petri-dishes containing a
mixture of agar and nutrients.
Petri-dishes are disposable clear plastic dishes
with a cap that are used for many science
experiments and bacteria growth. A thin
layer of nutrient agar in a petri-dish is enough
for growing bacteria. You can see the bacteria
colony shapes and count them without opening the
lead of the petri-dish. Since petri-dishes are
clear, you can see the bacteria from either side
of the dish.
Incubator is a warm cabinet that you can set it's
temperature to a proper temperature for bacteria
growth. About 35º C is a good temperature for
most bacteria. This is close the body temperature.
If you be able to create such a temperature in any
other way, it is as good as an incubator. You may
find warm places behind your refrigerator, next to
the radiator or inside an oven that is off.
You may also
make an incubator by placing a small desk lamp
inside a wooden or metal box. Or you may put a
Styrofoam cooler upside down over a desk lamp. A
small lamp (15 watts) should be able to create
enough heat to warm up a small space. Prepare your
incubator in advance and use a thermometer to test
it a day before starting your experiment.
These material are included in a kit
from MiniScience.com or you may buy them
individually from a local laboratory supplier.
Chicken broth or beef broth can be purchased from
supermarkets and health food stores or you may
make them at home. (It must be fat free). Filter
paper is coffee filter or you may substitute it
with any clean cotton cloth.
If you are
making your own chicken broth, one small chicken
can give you enough broth for this experiment.
(Half a pound beef can be used instead). Boil the
chicken for one hour. Separate the broth by
transferring it to another pot. remove any fat
from the top of the broth. Filter the broth using
a clean piece of cloth or coffee filter. If you
are buying chicken or beef broth from a super
market, it comes in small bags of about 4 grams
each. Use two bags in about 300 ml water and boil
it. Then filter it and transfer the filtered broth
to another clean pan.
Add water to the
broth to bring it to about 650 ml and boil it
again. Start adding the Agar powder while
stirring. (If you are using a MiniScience
kit, entire agar tube must be used, otherwise use
8 grams of dry agar powder). You will add agar
gradually while stirring. Adding agar will take 30
seconds to one minute. If you don't stir it good,
agar solidifies at the bottom of the pan and
burns. Continue stirring for another two minutes
or until the agar solution is fully dissolved and
the solution is clear.
At this time you
may optionally add a calcium carbonate tablet and
some mushroom extract. (You could also boil
mushroom with beef or chicken broth).
Your nutrient
agar is ready at this time. Turn off the heat and
let it cool down. While it is still warm set your
petri-dishes on a table. Open the lead of each
petri dish and pour some nutrient agar in each
dish (enough to cover the bottom of the dish) and
immediately put the lead back. Repeat this for all
petri-dishes. Leave the dishes where they are
until they solidify.
Note: The
nutrient agar should be free from all bacteria,
however boiling usually is not enough to kill all
the environmental bacteria that have entered our
nutrient agar. For school experiments, it may not
matter but in real biology laboratories, nutrient
agar plates are transferred to an autoclave for
sterilization. Hot, under pressure steam of
autoclave can kill all bacteria in about 30
minutes. Advanced students may use a pressure
cooker to do the same.
Use a 1 ml
pipette to place 0.1 ml of polluted water or any
other bacteria infested liquid on a dish. Spread
the liquid all over the plate surface. Cover the
plate. Turn it upside down and place it in an
incubator. Nutrient agar will remain moist when
the plate is upside down. Check back within 36
hours to see the result of bacteria growth.
of Results:
what happened. This can be in the form of a table
of processed numerical data, or graphs. It could
also be a written statement of what occurred
during experiments.
It is from
calculations using recorded data that tables and
graphs are made. Studying tables and graphs, we
can see trends that tell us how different
variables cause our observations. Based on these
trends, we can draw conclusions about the system
under study. These conclusions help us confirm or
deny our original hypothesis. Often, mathematical
equations can be made from graphs. These equations
allow us to predict how a change will affect the
system without the need to do additional
experiments. Advanced levels of experimental
science rely heavily on graphical and mathematical
analysis of data. At this level, science becomes
even more interesting and powerful.
If you
did not observe anything different than what
happened with your control, the variable you
changed may not affect the system you are
investigating. If you did not observe a
consistent, reproducible trend in your series of
experimental runs there may be experimental errors
affecting your results. The first thing to check
is how you are making your measurements. Is the
measurement method questionable or unreliable?
Maybe you are reading a scale incorrectly, or
maybe the measuring instrument is working
If you determine
that experimental errors are influencing your
results, carefully rethink the design of your
experiments. Review each step of the procedure to
find sources of potential errors. If possible,
have a scientist review the procedure with you.
Sometimes the designer of an experiment can miss
the obvious.

The President delivered remarks at the University of Iowa at Iowa City and continued his call for Congress to stop interest rates on student loans from doubling.
If Congress doesn't act, interest rates will double on July 1 for more than 7.4 million students with subsidized federal Stafford Loans. Approximately 986,494 Hispanic borrowers would see their loans increase. To out-educate our global competitors and make college affordable, Congress needs to stop the interest rate on these student loans from doubling.
Please join Julie Rodriguez of the White House Office of Public Engagement and Jose Rico, Executive Director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics for a conference call on President Obama's efforts to call on Congress to put forward legislation to stop interest rates from doubling.

The following statement(s) have expired and are here for historical purposes and do not represent statements of the AMS that are "in force" at this time.
(Adopted by AMS Council on 12 November 2002)
Bull. Amer. Met. Soc., 83
Lightning is a major cause of building fires, even though highly effective protection against this threat has long been available. In the 1700s Benjamin Franklin proposed a method of protecting structures from the effects of lightning. His method was based on observations that suggested (a) lightning preferentially strikes elevated objects and (b) lightning currents can be carried to and dissipated in earth by a suitable network of conductors and grounding electrodes. Various approaches aimed at providing protection against lightning, similar to Franklin's method of elevated rods and down-conductors, have been tried over the past 250 years; the more successful designs have been described and published as standards for guidance and protection of the public. In 1904, The National Fire Protection Association of Quincy, MA, established the American standard for installation of lightning protection systems. Now known as NFPA 780, The Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems (available for purchase through http://www.nfpa.org/Codes/index.asp) is revised periodically by an NFPA technical committee to incorporate new knowledge about the physics of lightning and advances in technology.
It is well established that properly installed and maintained conventional structural lightning protection systems (LPS) based on Franklin's methods significantly decrease lightning damage. However, the installation of such a system in conformance with NFPA 780 is not a simple matter. Proper procedures must be followed for the protection to be effective. Non-experts need guidance as provided by an appropriate standard which, in the United States, is contained in NFPA 780. Most architects and builders do not have the expertise to evaluate competing LPS designs. In this area (and many others), they depend on accepted standards to provide the guidance needed to properly design and install LPSs, confident that the standard has been appropriately reviewed and approved.
To understand how an object becomes "struck" by lightning, a short summary of the relevant physics is warranted. Lightning strikes usually begin within thunderclouds from which a "leader" descends toward the earth. As the leader approaches within 100 meters or so of the ground, its electric field becomes sufficiently enhanced by objects on the ground, so that upward propagating streamers are emitted by these objects. One or more of these upward streamers may develop into an upward-propagating leader that connects with the downward-moving leader, creating a conductive path to ground. This allows the leader charge to drain to the earth, "striking" the object that launched the successful streamer and subjecting it to the full current of a "return stroke."
To provide effective protection for structures, a lightning protection system must therefore include the following:
Given this complexity in designing effective lightning protection systems, standards that specify the requirements which must be met to ensure the adequacy of each lightning protection installation are essential and are required by most industrialized nations. The American standard represents nearly 250 years of practical experience and about 100 years of consensus among specialists in the physics of lightning, of manufacturers of lightning protection equipment, and of lightning protection installers. The members of the AMS Committee on Atmospheric Electricity have reviewed the modern practices of lightning protection and have concluded that NFPA 780 is a useful standard with a sound scientific basis. The Society recognizes the need for a lightning protection standard and supports the current American edition specifying the installation of lightning protection systems. Additional background material can be found in Background for the AMS Statement on Lightning Protection Systems by C.B. Moore.
[This statement is considered in force until September 2013 unless superseded by a new statement issued by the AMS Council before this date.]

|Oracle Fusion Middleware Data Visualization Tools Tag Reference for Oracle ADF Faces
12c (18.104.22.168.0)
dvt:funnelGraph funnelGraph funnel graph
UIComponent class: oracle.adf.view.faces.bi.component.graph.UIGraph
Component type: oracle.dss.adf.graph.Graph (funnelGraph)
The funnelGraph tag is deprecated. Use the funnelChart tag instead.
Use the <dvt:funnelGraph> tag to create an ADF data visualization bar graph. A Funnel graph is a visual representation of data related to steps in a process. The steps appear as vertical slices across a horizontal cone-shaped section. As the actual value for a given step or slice approaches the quota for that slice, the slice fills. A funnel renders a three-dimensional chart that represents target and actual values, and levels by color.
The Graph's layout is dominated by four major components: title, subtitle, footnote, and funnel frame. The funnel frame plots the data and is always rendered, but the other three components are optional, and can be placed in different locations within the graph. Within the area allocated to the whole graph, space is first allocated to the titles, if present. The title and the subtitle are displayed side by side at the top of the graph by default, and the footnote is displayed at the bottom of the graph. The graph plots funnel frame and its labels in the remaining space.
Use the data binding dialogs to bind the simple graph tags to a data control, which is typically based on a rowset (see data binding documentation for details). Another common way to provide data for the graph is to use the "tabularData" attribute to create a grid. This requires use of a backing or managed bean.
The graph requires a simple grid of numeric data points to plot a graph. The grid's row and column labels are used to identify components within the graph. Funnel graphs generally require two rows of data. The first row provides actual data values, and the second row provides target values. Funnel graphs legend display threshold values.
The number of threshold, each threshold range and color can be customized in the graph bean. These functions are not exposed to the faces layer yet, but application may use a graph binding to access these functions in the graph engine.
Here is an example of customized threshold areas in a funnel graph using a graph binding.
UIGraph graph = null;
public UIGraph getGraph() {
if ( graph == null )
graph = new UIGraph();
// Gets the graph engine object
CommonGraph commonGraph = (CommonGraph)graph.getImageView();
// Sets the number of thresholds to be 4
// Gets the threshold object
Threshold th = commonGraph.getThreshold();

return graph;
Use the graph's "seriesEffect" attribute to add predefined gradient effects on funnel slices.
The title and the subtitle, if present, are displayed side by side at the top of the graph by default. Use the graph's "customLayout" attribute to change this default setting. The footnote, if present, is displayed at the bottom of the graph.
The legend displays threshold values. It also displays the legend title, if present. The legend can be positioned in one of four different locations: left, right, top and bottom. Use the attribute "alongGraphEdge" to attach it to the edge of the graph. The legend can be removed with the "rendered" attribute.
Funnel frame
Funnel graphs plot the data within the funnel frame. The funnelFrame integrates slice labels, o1TickLabel and a horizontal cone-shaped frame that draws slices.
Number Formatting
DVT funnel graph supports number formatting on its slice labels. Users can customize the number formatting by adding <af:convertNumber> to the <dvt:sliceLabel>. The following is an example of how to configure this tag:
<dvt:funnelGraph value="#{binding.dataModel}">
<af:convertNumber pattern="#{appPrefs.sliceLabelPattern}" />
Automatic Scaling and Precision
Graph automatically determines the scale ( e.g. 4K ) and precision ( e.g. show 2 decimal points - 0.25 ) based on the values that are being displayed. This automatic formatting still occurs when <af:convertNumber> is specified. The <dvt:sliceLabel> and <dvt:y1TickLabel> tags also have scaling and autoPrecision attributes that can be used to control graph's automatic number formatting. By default, scaling="auto" means graph will auto-calculate the scale. For example, 40,000 will be formatted as "40K". By default, autoPrecision="on" means that graph will auto-calculate the precision of the number. For example, 0.230546 will be displayed as "0.23". If the autoPrecision is 'on' then all of the <af:convertNumber> fraction digit settings ( e.g. min/maxFractionDigits or pattern) are ignored.
Percent and Number Formatting
Funnel graphs calculate and display percent values by default. An application has the option to have the funnel graph display percent values and / or the numbers used to calculate the percentages. To configure what is displayed in the funnel's slice label, <dvt:sliceLabel>'s textType attribute can be set and accepts the following values (LD_TEXT, LD_VALUE, LD_PERCENT, LD_TEXT_PERCENT ). Note that tooltips always display the numbers ( e.g. 42K ) and cannot display percent values like the funnel's slice.
The single <af:convertNumber> tag specified within <dvt:sliceLabel> is used to specify formatting for slice labels and tooltips, regardless of whether the slice label or tooltip is displaying percent values (e.g. 25% ) or numbers ( e.g. 42K ). When an element of the funnel graph is configured to show percents ( e.g. <dvt:sliceLabel textType="LD_PERCENT"> ), the funnel graph will force the <af:convertNumber> specified into a percent format. When <af:convertNumber> is forced to percent, graph clears <af:convertNumber> pattern, since the pattern will prevent type=percent if specified. This means that patterns are ignored when graph forces percent formatting.
Also, please note that <dvt:sliceLabel>'s autoPrecision attribute applies to both percent formats as well as numbers, while the scaling attribute only applies to numbers and is not used when formatting percents.
The default graph size is 300 pixels tall by 400 pixels wide. Change this using the "inlineStyle" attribute. Set inlineStyle="width:500px; height:350px;", for instance, to change the graph size to 350 pixels tall by 500 pixels wide. The width and the height can also be specified in percent. Use percent for height only when the graph is added to an explicitly sized container or one that manages layout, otherwise graph will behave differently for different browsers. Use the "dynamicResize" attribute to resize the graph based on its container size.
Use the shapeAttributes tag to specify interactivity on an individual graph component. A backing or managed bean is required to use this feature.
Here is an example of a slice labels in a funnel graph using a clickListener to display data value :
<dvt:funnelGraph id="graph1" subType="FUNNEL">
<dvt:shapeAttributes component="GRAPH_SLICELABEL" clickable="true" clickListener="#{clickListener.processClick}"/>
The "processClick" method in the backing bean will look like:
public void processClick(ClickEvent event) {
ComponentHandle handle = event.getComponentHandle();
if (handle instanceof DataComponentHandle) {
DataComponentHandle dhandle = (DataComponentHandle)handle;
System.out.println("Data value: " + dhandle.getValue(DataComponentHandle.UNFORMATTED_VALUE).toString());
Wrap all <dvt:shapeAttributes> tags in a <dvt:shapeAttributesSet> tag.
The af:showPopupBehavior tag can be used within the <dvt:seriesSet> to display popups for data objects within the graph. Only the "click" and "mouseHover" trigger types are supported. When using hover popups, it is recommended that tooltips be disabled, since having multiple types of hover feedback can be confusing to the user.
Context menus can be defined by using any of the context menu facets that are defined on the graph. The "bodyContextMenu" facet specifies a context menu that is displayed on any non-selectable object within the component. The "contextMenu" facet specifies a context menu that is displayed on any selectable object within the graph. The "multiSelectContextMenu" facet specifies a context menu that is displayed when multiple objects are selected. Each facet supports only a single child component. Selection must be enabled and supported for the specific graph type in order for an object to be considered selectable. Context Menus are currently only supported in Flash.
Due to technical limitations when using the Flash rendering format, the context menu contents are currently displayed using the Flash Player's context menu. This imposes several limitations defined by the Flash Player:
Additionally, since Flash's request for context menu items is a synchronous call, so a server request to evaluate EL is not possible when the context menu is invoked. To provide context menus that vary by selected object, the menus will be pre-fetched if the context menu popup uses contentDelivery="lazyUncached". For context menus that may vary by state, this means that any EL expressions within the menu definition will be called repeatedly at render time, with different selection and currency states. When using these context menus that are pre-fetched, the application must be aware of the following:
Tooltips are useful to display identification and or detail information for data markers. They can be very useful in smaller graphs without enough space to display labels. Use attributes "markerTooltipType", "seriesTooltipLabelType", and "groupTooltipLabelType" to customize tooltip content. The graph automatically displays tooltips for components like title, subtitle, footnote, and legendText when their text is truncated. There is no option to change this behavior.
The <dvt:graphFont> tag is used for font formatting. Text color, style, size, and font name can be specified using this tag. This tag is used as a child tag for any of the graph's text component tags. All text component tags have other formatting attributes like horizontal and vertical alignment, text string, and whether or not the text should be rendered.
Use the <dvt:specialEffects> tag to specify gradient effects on many graph subcomponents. This tag must be defined as a child tag of the component tag and is not available for any text components. Note that the "seriesEffect" attribute setting always overrides the special effects settings.
The <dvt:funnelGraph> tag can have the following child tags:
<attributeFormat>, <background>, <graphFootnote>, <graphPlotArea>, <graphSubtitle>, <graphTitle>, <legendArea>, <legendText>, <legendTitle>, <o1TickLabel>, <shapeAttributesSet>, <sliceLabel>
In attachment mode, the graph will be displayed in HTML5 or PNG, depending on the browser being used. Limited client interactivity, such as tooltips, is available. The following features are not supported in attachment mode:
|Apply Request Values
|The ClickEvent is delivered when the component is clicked.

US Debt Credit Rating Downgraded by S&P
A major rating agency last night "Downgraded the Nation's Credit Rating" for the first time in history, after a wild day on Wall Street that saw stocks swing from triple-digit gains to triple-digit losses and back into positive territory as investors weighed the strongest US job gains in months against debt problems here and in Europe.
The downgrade could, over the long term, raise borrowing costs for the US government, as well as for consumers and businesses — "Standard & Poor's" said it lowered the nation's credit rating to "AA+" from "AAA" because political leaders have yet to develop a credible plan to reduce the nation's $14 trillion debt, despite the recent deal to raise the debt ceiling and cut spending.
"The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government's medium-term debt dynamics," S&P said in a statement yesterday.
The downgrade, which came after stock markets closed, provided an emphatic counterpoint to a report by the Labor Department that US employers added 117,000 jobs in July, significantly more than the 46,000 in June and 53,000 in May. The unemployment rate improved slightly to 9.1 percent last month from 9.2 percent in June.
The Dow Jones industrial average, which plunged more than 500 points Thursday, jumped when markets opened yesterday on the employment report; nosedived as investors shifted their focus to the European debt crisis and underlying weakness of the US economy; and rebounded again to close higher on news that Italy took steps to resolve its debt problems. The Dow finished the day at 11,445, up 61 points.
The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index declined slightly, while the technology heavy NASDAQ Composite index fell nearly 1 percent, after plunging 5 percent Thursday.
The New York Times reported that Treasury Department officials said that the S&P downgrade announcement was delayed after Treasury found a serious mathematical error in a draft of the report, which was provided to the government yesterday afternoon. The officials said that S&P inadvertently added $2 trillion to its projection of the federal debt. Treasury said S&P conceded the problem after about an hour of discussion.
The other rating agencies, Moody's and Fitch, have said they have no immediate plans to downgrade the country's credit rating, giving the government more time to make progress on debt reduction.
The lowering of the country's rating could rattle confidence and raise borrowing costs for the government and consumers, impeding the already fragile recovery. The federal government makes about $250 billion in interest payments a year. So even a small increase in the rates demanded by investors in United States debt could add tens of billions of dollars to those payments.
Still, after several days of bad news and disappointing economic data, the July employment numbers were a relief, well above the 75,000 to 85,000 jobs economists were anticipating. Job losses were concentrated in government; private companies increased payrolls by 154,000.
In addition, the Labor Department said that job growth, while still weak, was better than initially reported in previous months. For example, job growth in June was initially estimated at just 18,000; that figure was revised to 46,000 yesterday.
"Everything about the report was solid," said Mike Ryan, chief investment strategist for UBS Wealth Management Research Americas in New York.
Rose Grant, managing director for Eastern Investment Advisors in Boston, said the employment report suggests the economy is still growing – albeit slowly – and not headed toward another recession as many investors have feared. In addition, same-store retail sales figures rose Thursday, suggesting consumers are still spending money.
"The economy is still in slow-to-moderate growth mode," Grant said. "This was news that the markets definitely needed to hear."
Nationally, economists warned that job creation numbers are not yet strong enough to make a significant dent in unemployment. The country typically needs to add about 125,000 jobs a month just to keep up with population growth and will need to add 150,000 to 200,000 jobs a month to bring down the unemployment rate, economists said.
The labor market, some observers note, is even weaker than the official unemployment rate suggests. The rate balloons to 16.1 percent when people working part-time jobs because they can't find full-time work and those who have given up job searches altogether are included. Only those who actively seek work are counted as unemployed.
Yesterday's unemployment report was anxiously anticipated, after a steady drumbeat of gloomy economic data, including reports that showed weakening activity in manufacturing and a US economy that barely grew in the first half of the year. Many investors also remain worried about the agreement Congress reached this week to raise the debt ceiling.
Some fear its call to cut government spending at a time when it is needed to spur the economy.
Still, some financial executives said improving unemployment numbers could help squelch fears that the economy is sliding back into recession.
"I think it's certainly going to give pause to those who have been reading the most tea leaves and were expecting a recession in the second half of the year," said Roger Bayston, senior vice president of the Franklin Templeton Fixed Income Group in San Mateo, Calif., which manages more than $329 billion in assets.
But Bayston said he believes the market swings will continue until US economic growth accelerates and the debt worries in the United States and Europe ease.
"We're struggling with those bigger issues that still need resolution," Bayston said.

Feds say Canadian caught with 2,002 methamphetamine tablets at Maine border
CALAIS, Maine (AP) � A Canadian man is facing federal drug smuggling charges after he tried to enter the United States at Calais, Maine, with 2,002 tablets of methamphetamine hidden in his vehicle.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection says 49-year-old Charles Joseph Maillet was apprehended on Thanksgiving Day.
CBP says Maillet presented a trusted traveler card, which had been revoked, when he arrived at the Calais International Avenue port of entry on Thursday
A preliminary search of his vehicle found two meth tablets under the front seat. A complete search of the car found 2.36 pounds of pills in four packages.
The case was referred to the Maine office of the United States attorney for prosecution.

The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid fell last week to seasonally adjusted 324,000, the lowest since January 2008. The drop points to fewer layoffs and possibly more hiring.
The Labor Department says weekly applications fell 18,000, the second straight sharp drop. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, plummeted 16,000 to 342,250.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs. But fewer job cuts are only one side of the equation: Companies also need to be confident enough to add workers for job growth to pick up and lower the unemployment rate.
Economists forecast that the economy added 160,000 jobs last month. That's much better than the 88,000 added in March, but below last year's pace of nearly 185,000 per month. The government will release the April employment report Friday.

Patrick Cover of Huntersville, N.C., and Divya Manthena of Camarillo, Calif., were presented the 2013 USGA-AJGA Presidents' Leadership Award Wednesday evening at the Rolex Tournament of Champions in Lancaster, Pa.
The Presidents' Leadership Award was created to recognize one boy and one girl junior golfer who demonstrate leadership, character and community service through their involvement with the Leadership Links program – a joint initiative founded by the American Junior Golf Association and United States Golf Association began in 2005 to further develop junior golfers through volunteerism. Thirteen members of the Rolex Tournament of Champions field are participants in the Leadership Links program.
Cover and Manthena were honored for their service by the AJGA and USGA during the Rolex Dinner of Champions.
Diana Murphy, USGA Executive Committee member, introduced the recipients to the players and members of Lancaster Country Club.
"At the USGA we appreciate all your team does to bring the AJGA mission to life through young people," said Murphy. "Thank you to the leadership and membership of Lancaster Country Club for the welcome as a great host. We are thrilled to come back [in 2015 for the US Women's Open] and expose a hidden gem with a treasured layout."
In 2005, the USGA and AJGA began their partnership with an initiative aimed at the overall growth and development of junior golfers. By emphasizing the importance of community service and education, the partnership strives to enrich the lives of junior golfers and ensure there is a high level of volunteerism around the game for many years to come.
About Patrick Cover
"It has been said many times that golf is a game of a lifetime," Cover said in his application for the USGA-AJGA award. "Golf has changed my life, and the changes will certainly stay with me a lifetime."
In 2010, Cover and his friend and fellow AJGA player Thomas Walsh founded the Dormie Cup, a golf tournament to benefit local and national charities. They found 22 other junior golfers to join them in a two-man, match-play tournament, and challenged each player to raise $1,500 for charity.
They exceeded their goal in 2012, with 22 golfers raising more than $46,000 for the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation, The First Tee of the Sandhills and the AJGA's ACE Grant, which gives golf opportunities to talented players who lack the financial resources to play in national level junior tournaments.
In the three years of the Dormie Cup, Cover has spent countless hours meeting with club officials, communicating with golfers and raising funds for the event. Cover has personally raised more than $9,500 through face-to-face meetings, personal letters and emails to prospective donors.
"Last year, Noah Spivey, a 15-year-old fighting cancer, came and shared his story at the Dormie Cup," Cover said. "He wanted to be a golfer, but couldn't do that because of his disease. It's amazing for us to be able to take our talents and put it towards benefiting people like him."
In addition to his work with the Dormie Cup, Cover is involved with several other charities in the Charlotte area.
"I know that I'm very fortunate to have everything I'm given," said Cover. "[Volunteering] has taught me to appreciate what I have, and every time I do it, I want to do it again."
Over the last two years, Cover has spearheaded a "jeans drive" at his high school that asks students to donate their unwanted jeans to homeless teens in the Charlotte area. Cover made signs and marketing materials for the event and has helped collect more than 200 pairs.
Another project is the Charlotte Urban Ministry Center, a homeless shelter. Over Easter weekend in 2012, Cover made more than 120 sandwiches to deliver to hungry families.
Samaritan's Feet is an organization that provides shoes for children in Africa who have never worn a pair of shoes. Cover collected 70 pairs of boots and shoes from friends and family in 2012 for the organization.
Cover continues to expand his charitable efforts. The 2013 Dormie Cup is currently in the planning stages, and Cover hopes to organize a charity golf tournament which involves the PGA Tour. Cover believes that golf is more than just a game or a favorite sport, it's an opportunity to have an impact on many lives.
"Joining forces with my friends and raising money for these charities feels like the biggest golf accomplishment I have ever earned," Cover said.
About Divya Manthena
Children suffering from cancer, and youngsters with special needs in the United States... poor children and farmers facing hardships in India... victims of natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes and flooding.
Those causes populate the mission page of the Krishak website, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that 15-year-old Divya Manthena started three years ago. Krishak's motto is "give while you live," a phrase that she personifies, not just through her organization, but through every aspect of life.
Manthena's family has long been dedicated to helping others. Manthena's great-grandfather was a freedom fighter in India and her great-grandmother was the founder of an orphanage.
"The inspiration from my family elders plus my personal experiences during visits to India where I saw people suffering from natural disasters and diseases led me to start Krishak," Manthena said. "I wanted to do something to help, and the immediate way I could was to use my talents."
An avid golfer since age 7, Manthena has combined her skills on the course with her passion for helping those in need by hosting charity golf tournaments. Her first tournament in 2011, organized in conjunction with the American Red Cross to raise money for Japanese tsunami relief, raised more than $6,000.
In 2012, Manthena began work with the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., to host her second annual event. With her father, Manthena made all the fliers for the event, selected the venue and worked with St. Jude's Hospital to set up a website where tournament players could donate online.
In early 2013, Manthena and her father expanded the platform of her charity tournaments by organizing a tournament committee to help make this year's event more successful. For the 2013 event, Manthena chose an organization that she had past experience with, Special Olympics Ventura County.
As a volunteer with the Special Olympics golf camp, Manthena has learned as much as she is teaching.
"They [Special Olympics participants] have taught me how to be patient and to be respectful," Manthena said.
The third annual charity golf tournament hosted by Manthena's Krishak organization was held on March 22 and raised more than $13,000, but the fundraising efforts for the Special Olympics Ventura County have not stopped there. In conjunction with students at California Lutheran University, Manthena will raffle VIP tickets to a Justin Bieber concert in June, with a goal to raise $20,000.
"I believe the game of golf can give back to society in many ways," Manthena said. "On one hand, it can provide entertainment and drama, and on the other hand raise money to help people in need."
Manthena hopes to turn her passion for helping people into a career. Her goal is to earn a college golf scholarship and eventually become a pediatrician.

To ensure scholarship opportunities for all junior golfers who have the skill, the AJGA created the Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program to provide financial assistance to young players in need.
Titleist, the AJGA's National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association's success since 1989. Rolex, which is in its fourth decade of AJGA support, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004. In 2007, after 12 years of support, Ralph Lauren became the AJGA's second Premier Partner.

Pneumatic Capsule Pipelines for Mines
Pneumatic Capsule Pipelines by Pneutrans Systems Ltd could greatly reduce the impact of mine disasters as well as greatly reduce transportation costs.
On October 13, 2010, 33 Chilean miners were rescued after spending 69 days underground due to a mine disaster. They were individually hoisted 2050 feet up a bored shaft 26 inches diameter, inside a capsule measuring 22 by 75 inches raised by a cable. The one way trip took 15 minutes.
There were a large number of coal mine disasters in the U.S.A. in the early 2000s. After the Sago Mine disaster on January 2, 2006 in West Virginia, Governor Joe Manchin called a Conference on Mine Safety in Wheeling in April of 2006. Pneutrans Systems Ltd attended. We advocated that Pneumatic Capsule Pipelines, propelled with low pressure air could:
A. Transport products such as ore, coal and aggregate OUT of the mine to the mill.
B. Return tailings back INTO the mine for disposal.
These are some of the normal purposes for which a Pneumatic Capsule Pipeline is purchased.
In the case of a disaster the following features are available:
1. Introduce a small amount of fresh air INTO the mine at the system's Train Receiving Area.
2. Exhaust a small amount of heat, humidity, fumes, smoke and dust OUT of the mine from the system's Train Sending Area.
After the product trains are purged from the system (to the surface or the mill) special rescue trains/capsules, propelled with low pressure air, are employed to:
3. Transport Rescue Teams, tools and equipment INTO the mine.
4. Transport Miners, Rescuers, tools and equipment OUT of the mine.
In the case of the Chilean mine disaster, if the Pneumatic Capsule Pipeline had been installed and in use, providing the pipeline had not been damaged, the miners' escape would have been almost immediate. The bored shaft would not have been necessary. Pneumatic Capsule Pipelines pipes generally start at 30 inches inside diameter.
In the case of the U.S.A. mine disasters, if Pneumatic Capsule Pipelines had been installed and in use, more miners could have survived and escaped.
The rescue efforts at mines may be faster and perhaps less expensive when a Pneumatic Capsule Pipeline is installed and in use. There is a strong possibility the mine to mill transportation costs would be very much lower.
Pneumatic Capsule Pipelines are flexible in their applications. They are safe, environmentally friendly and low cost to operate while having a competitive capital cost.
