$10 trillion deficit projection
The Obama administration late last Friday tried to quietly release the news that they are raising the 10-year federal deficit projection to $9 trillion from $7 trillion. A few trillion here and a few trillion there start adding up to a sum that is incomprehensibly large.
So I though it would be interesting to put this into perspective. To begin with, the total deficit in the 10 years ending December 2008 was $2.06 trillion, while the deficit for the 10 years ending July '09 was $3.1 trillion. The deficit in the first seven months of the current calendar year was $0.95 trillion. The deficit in the 12 months ended July '09 was $1.5 trillion. The total deficit accumulated during Bush's 8 years was $2.55 trillion.
Obama's $9 trillion projection is almost certainly based on overly optimistic assumptions. It could easily be $10 trillion, more than three times the deficit of the past 10 years, four times the deficit of Bush's previously-assumed profligate administration, and five times the deficit of the past 10 calendar years. Even when you adjust the deficit for the size of the economy, the projections we are looking at today are off the charts.
For anyone who worried about the pre-Obama deficits, this news is unimaginably bad.
The economy did reasonably well with deficits averaging only a couple of percent of GDP from 1968 through 2008, but now we're talking about deficits that are likely to be in the neighborhood of 6-10% of GDP (with this year likely to come in around 12% of GDP). There is no precedent for what we are facing, since it is orders of magnitude worse than anything we have seen in modern times. Spending is off the charts (see chart above), and tax revenues have never been high enough to finance the level of government spending that Obama has in mind.
My guess is that a $10 trillion deficit projection is enough to convince the voters that something is very wrong with the roadmap the Obama administration is trying to follow. I think the people are going to demand that Obama change his roadmap.
To attempt a massive expansion of government healthcare at a time like this seems downright insane. To attempt to radically change the way our economy uses energy, via cap and trade legislation, at a time like this seems absurd. We can't transform our economy and our healthcare industry when deficits are set to absorb some $4 billion every day.
Somehow I think we're going to figure out how to stop this madness. Obama is rapidly losing credibility and support, and the opposition to his policies is becoming more vocal and coordinated every day. Add to that mixture the explosive news of $10 trillion in deficits and you have the makings of some changes that could be very bullish for markets that are still very worried about the future.
UPDATE: I did some quick, back-of-the-envelope calculations using Obama's numbers, and come up with this: outstanding federal debt, which was about 35% of GDP in 2007, will exceed 70% of GDP before the end of Obama's second term, if he gets one. The only time that ratio was higher was during the height of WW II spending, when it briefly reached 115% of GDP.
UPDATE: The Concord Coalition lays out the rationale for the 10-year deficit to be $14 trillion.

Why anyone would vote for this idiot is beyond me. This will truly be one for the record books -- how slick marketing and the "coolness" factor of having a black president swayed voters and overtook common sense.
I am truly beginning to question Obama's motives. It almost seems that he is bent on destroying this country. Whose side is he on? Bin Laden seems to have a direct line to Obama's cell phone it would seem; failing to control oil, Bin Laden seems to have found a way to get a financial terrorist elected?
As Scott once pointed out, maybe this will turn out to be the last straw for the liberals. Only 14 more months until November, 2010.

Cabodog -
Believe me, I've asked the same kind of questions, but one does not need to be a "financial terrorist" to bring this kind of insanity - far left is all that is needed. The beast of government is always moving to grab more of the GDP - de Tocueville had it nailed a hundred and sixty years ago. Its not just Obama - its a version of "invisible hand" of government which is set to override that of the free market.
Making this personal against any one small cabal of politicians misses the point while sending the wrong message. Today's Pelosi's and Obama's are just the liberals holding the reigns when the horse finally broke into a gallop. We need a small government leader and we need one quickly. Where do we look? If we're not careful, we'll just end up with a bunch of big-government "conservatives" at the next election.

The fiscal insanity in DC is obvious. We need term limits, some version of the FairTax and a gradual return to balanced budgets. The markets would sing. But average citizens don't get the obvious -- they just want more "free" ice cream -- so how are leaders going to be elected who do understand? I don't see anyone on the political horizon with the policy proposals and communication skills necessary to turn us around.

Where were all of you when the government was backing trillions in financial obligations for bankers and shoveling cash through the AIG pipeline?
I smell gallons of hypocrisy spilled sloppily all over the place.
The right wants it's ice cream and eat it too. The left just wants more ice cream regardless of the cost. Both sides are completely lost in their own fantasy lands.
Sounds like the people who follow them are too.
We need smaller government EVERYWHERE. Not just in health care or energy. And who really thinks we live in a "free market" world? Come on, are you kidding me?
This is such typical propaganda. You want government when it is convenient. Yeah don't we all.
We need smaller government EVERYWHERE. that means the Fed, Congress, Executive Branches, State, Local, and the Treasury. They are all going for a massive land grab, not just the Dems my friends.
The banks and autos should have failed. Homeowners should have failed. Instead we have bigger and bolder government.
Did you really think it was going to turn out any different?
We need smaller government EVERYWHERE! Where are the voices? I just hear left and right propaganda, not real solutions.

"Invisible hand of government," I like the new (to me) phrase.
And, Public Library has a good point about propaganda and political truisms.
As to the free market, we must never forget the "me first" contagion that got us here. Trading those credit default swaps and liar-loan bundles killed "market" economics for all practical, political, purposes.
Under "W" we lived a life of lies and incomprehension from the top down, paving the way for "Obama the opposite."
It's still lies and incomprehension, but from the other end zone this time.
McCain must speak up and gather other "real" men, or at least quote them, ...thus paving the way for, perhaps, "Romney the realist"?
("Real" means "incorruptible" first, ...then realistic.)

Credit default swaps and derivatives in general did not kill the free market. It's easy to blame them because they are very difficult to understand. But they were not the cause of our problems.

CDS are not difficult to understand.
They allowed AIG to sell un-Godly amounts of protection they could not guarantee, to banks and investors who could not hedge the counter party risk on those same guarantees.
Everyone was playing in the same sandbox. Imagine that.
Hence the Taxpayer had to step in and make the banks/investors whole from AIG's ability to set off a CDS time bomb.
CDS are innocuous, until put in the hands of bankers who need to make a buck.
Just like guns don't kill people, people do, this does not mean we should all carry bazookas.
CDS unchecked are bazookas. A similar problem happened to LTCM. They were allowed to lever up the same trade the world over until a run was made on their positions. Sound familiar anyone?
But hey CDS help price discovery, right? Well until everyone runs for the exit and does not care what the "real" price is.
If LTCM had unlimited access to capital, they would have made money on their positions too. But that is not the point.
Taxpayers cannot be on the hook from crappy investors risk management.
A bit of a rant but the banks were allowed to steal from the taxpayer and kick em while their down.
It has been the biggest heist in history without a shot fired.
- August 24, 2009 at 12:35 PM
- Scott Grannis said...
There's one very important fact about CDS that not everyone understands. For every seller of protection there has to be a buyer, and vice versa. For every winner there has to be a loser, and vice versa. CDS do not magnify risk, they only redistribute it. In retrospect, some firms held too much of the exposure, but it was too much only because credit spreads rose to levels that no one thought possible. In almost any worst-case market scenario there would not have been a problem.
Risk management can never eliminate the risk of a catastrophic event that goes way beyond the bounds of experience.

I can't disagree with you about derivatives or other weapons of mass destruction, nor with basic "free market" truisms.
My point was that:
Presidents who don't "get it" for some reason can cause historic harm.
Now as we know, it wasn't the derivatives themselves, it was the contagion of unrealistic self interest as allowed by an uncomprehending leader.
The truism that "free market capitalism is the best way to prosperity" wants (requires but may lack) real leadership.
Truisms put voters to sleep. I suppose that's why demagogues use 'em.
Also, truisms make Public Library edgy.
Me too.

Sorry, but I don't see how a leader or any regulator for that matter should be held responsible for avoiding market catastrophes. And I don't see how free markets require "leadership" in order to work.
Markets work very well as long as governments don't distort things. We had a lot of distortions leading up to last year's crash. Freddie, Fannie, easy money, corrupt politicians protecting F&F, etc.
I would always put my trust in the free market to figure things out. I would never want to put my trust in any politician or even the greatest political leader in history. No single person is smart enough to beat the market consistently.

pcpb Lol. That made me smile!
I get tired of the right calling the left (fill in blank), and the left calling the right (fill in the blank).
These are such common platforms for each to fire off from but what it really does is distract people from the real issues.
You are correct:
"For every winner there has to be a loser, and vice versa."
Wall Street won. Tax payers Lost.
"Risk management can never eliminate the risk of a catastrophic event that goes way beyond the bounds of experience."
Then why would we let these firms trade in notional amounts they cannot cover?
I have no problem if you would tell me that if they go belly-up then so be it, but this is not the world we live in.
Therefore it is an asymmetrical corrupt market where we lose and they win every time.

The US is the world's most free market. It will never be totally free as long as it is free enough to support innovation,entrepreneurship,risk & reward, consumer choice, private property, consistent rules, and stable currency, our free market will work. The degree to which politicians, courts, environmentalists, etc undermine these powerful ingredients is the degree to which our markets become less free. I agree with you that are markets not totally free. I am not totally healthy but I am somewhat healthy and I work in spite of what my wife tells me.

You say, "Sorry, but I don't see how a leader or any regulator for that matter should be held responsible for avoiding market catastrophes. And I don't see how free markets require "leadership" in order to work."
I am misunderstood and I attribute that to your free market religion and to my ineptitude, both. I apologize for my side of it and, as I practice your religion too, I'll invite you to a beer to chat over the rest of our misunderestimation.
Obviously, leaders set the tone and are the voice of authority. Chaos results as a society begins to disregard the command of its figurehead, stemming from the slow realization that their leader may be seriously out of his depth.
Call it my "house of cards" philosophy of American economics.
When the "vibes" dislodge that first card the whole house tumbles, ...and W was literally trumpeting "home ownership," ...remember?
I simply can't accept that a better man would have tolerated such unsavory lending in the first place but rather would have set the caution flags early and preempted chaos.
"Risk management can never eliminate the risk of a catastrophic event that goes way beyond the bounds of experience," SG.
But Vanguard avoided the catastrophe and so did Pimco, if memory serves.
Same data, better men?
And, not to push it, ...but wasn't that a nearly perfect "free market" in Credit Default Swaps?
All that seems to have been missing was an intolerant leader, so a different culture evolved, then collapsed.

pcpb: I'm sorry I misinterpreted what you were trying to say. You make a very good point. If the guy at the top doesn't believe in and understand free markets (e.g., like Reagan), then the likelihood of trouble escalates dramatically. Bush, who had a skin-deep appreciation for markets, looks like Son of Reagan compared to Obama.

"So is the BDI a leading or lagging indicator? Unfortunately, the answer seems to be: It depends.
Let's take the long view:
Looking back to when all this volatility started in 2003, we can see why some consider the BDI a leading indicator. On average, as the BDI climbed, so did things like the DJ World Basic Materials Index, which contains all the precursors of industrial production. Both sharply fell during the Great Commodities Crash of 2008, and have been recovering since. But the connection is very far from perfect, or perhaps even useful; in several cases, the two move in opposition (for instance, mid-2006, and now).
The case for the BDI is even weaker when you look at CRB and BDI, where only the early 2008 peak and the subsequent Great Commodities Crash of 2008 periods clearly correlate.
And the case completely falls apart if you look at the most recent decline in the BDI:
Is the BDI still relevant as an economic indicator? I guess the answer is: BDI works when looking at long-term trends and strategy. But for current trends, other factors are more relevant.
So for investors looking for a crystal ball in the BDI, be careful: It's cracked."

With your last comment, I agree.
The dire state of our economy, ...it's dire for most of us now,, ...calls for a Churchill lest some progeny of Mao or Marx take charge.
Unfortunately as you point out, ...that has already happened and the invisible hand of government is paper over the fist of capitalism.
We'll need more than this blog to right the ship I'm afraid. For those cushioned souls it's time to halve your fortunes and make politics, ...like Peter Schiff is doing. He, for one, deserves your fullest support.

Brian I really enjoyed your post.
As to some of the other posts directed at villainizing Bush, it seems so misguided to me. Why do others get a free pass? It was Clinton who erroneously (yet probably altruistically) amended the CRA in 1993 and created subprime, turning Fannie/Freddie into huge gov't run hedgefunds at taxpayer expense (paying plenty of bad people along the way). The rating agencies then obscured the investment vehicles by providing false security for their own profit. This was the primary contagion. While I agree that the leverage ratios never should have been allowed to move where they did for certain firms and that CDS contracts that were supposed to act as insurance should not have gone completely unregulated, those things do not excuse the greater harm which was the gov't intervention of subprime/Fannie/Freddie, with Congress bailing them out at every step along the way.
Blame for political policies and economic cycles should not be settled like musical chairs: he who is without a chair when the music stops is guilty.
While I think that all should be held responsible, the blame game frustrates me beyond belief. As has been discussed, each side has its talking points that obscure the realities of the problems and perpetuates a broken system.
IMO the biggest problem we face is there is little transparency and accountability in the gov't as a whole. None of these politicians who profess to know it all are telling the truth; the corruption is rampant on both sides. Yet the voting constituencies continue to fall for this political bravado and slight of hand while failing to demand real reform. We cannot continue to allow these do-little, two-faced crooks to self-regulate. The scariest part is that the abuses we know of are only the ones that have been uncovered.
There are some sharp people here and we could all learn a lot from one another I have no doubt. Things need context and responsibility assigned, hopefully evenhandedly. But I think much more can be accomplished if we focus on the role of gov't which demands significant reform. DC is an abject mess, I fail to see how that is not the central issue for most of our problems. We need market discipline and animal spirits but we also need fair and effective regulation. We will never get the latter if we focus too much on which party is screwing us and lose sight of the system that enables it.
Obama's policies must be attacked b/c they are current, expand this corrupt system and threaten the currency. But the prospective solution is not the corollary in the sense of republicans, which I've not seen suggested by the author despite any bias towards the lesser of two evils, it's the corollary in the sense of limited gov't and actual accountability mechanisms. I haven't seen anyone's post that makes me think we could not all agree on this premise. I wish we could put aside our defensive and revenge egos for long enough to demand and shape real reform. Whether you hate Fannie more than Haliburton or vice versa, it should be apparent that both abuses are enabled by the same system.

Dead Cat: Thanks for a superb post! I hope I have not made the mistake (though I probably have inadvertantly) of saying that since Obama and the liberals are messing things up we need to replace him/them with conservatives. There are only a relative handful of conservatives out there who would be deserving of my support (most of them also being favorites of The Club for Growth).
Limited government should be the rallying call for all those who are appalled by the big-government activism that got its start with Bush and has reached its apogee with Obama.
- August 28, 2009 at 1:37 PM
- Dead Cat Bounce said...
[Chuckle]. To me you have been quite clear, which is why some of the "anti-GOP" posts, seemingly written in retort to a point not being made, have grated on my nerves. If only the conservative leadership really represented small gov't, logical regulation and social policy, and pro-growth strategies all our lives might be so much simpler.
As always, very appreciative of your blog.

Niko Bellic talking to Roman Bellic inside his taxi depot.

|Unlocked by
|Easy Fare
Jamaican Heat is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by his cousin Roman Bellic from his cab depot on Cisco Street in Schottler, Broker, Liberty City. It is unlocked by the mission Easy Fare.
Roman is busy taking calls as Niko walks in. Roman wants Niko to pick up Little Jacob on Oneida Avenue in South Slopes.
This mission introduces firearms (handguns to be exact) to the player, and briefs on the cover system. Submachine guns are also (unofficially) introduced as an SMG spawn point can be found at the shootout location.
Niko picks up Little Jacob and Little Jacob wants Niko to drive over to Dillon Street in Schottler. Little Jacob has heard from Roman that Niko has experience with weapons, so Jacob asks him to watch over a meeting he has planned, and gives him a handgun to do so.
Three gang members turn up, but Little Jacob expected only one. They open fire on Little Jacob, prompting Niko to open fire too. After they are killed, another gang member appears on the roof. Niko shoots him off the roof. Little Jacob is impressed at Niko's shooting skills and gives him his number so they can work together later on, and now wants Niko to drive him to the Homebrew Cafe.
- After the shootout, and before leaving with Jacob, be sure to pick up the weapons dropped by the gang members. Also do not miss an SMG stashed on a ledge behind and to the left of where Jacob takes cover (you will need to climb up next to a skylight to reach it). At this early stage of the game, the weaponry obtained (and remembering the spawn point for the SMG) will come in handy. (You may not have time to obtain the weapons if the shootout leaves you with a wanted level.)
- Occasionally the gang's car will block Niko's vehicle in the alley way; simply steal it instead of using Niko's car.

LOS ANGELES — Weight Watchers offers dieters the best staying power, according to a recent article in Consumer Reports (CR).
Weight Watchers earned the highest overall rating due to its nutritionally based diet, plus weekly meetings and weigh-ins for behavioral support. CR liked that the plan didn't exclude any food group and that its point system encourages low-fat, high-fiber meals. The magazine compared each diet to U.S. dietary guidelines and studied published research as well as nutritional analysis.
Slim Fast came in second and was recommended for dieters who don't like spending time in the kitchen. The Zone was recommended for those who want a short-term, high-protein diet plan while the Orinish plan provided fairly large portions for low calories. Atkins was found to work well in the short term, but its nutritional deficiencies — too much fat, and too little fiber and fruits — dropped its rating.
While the magazine also studied eDiets, Jenny Craig, South Beach Diet and Volumetrics, it didn't rank them because of the "lack of long-term published clinical trials" on which to base the rankings.

The company has gained a reputation as being an expert in helping their clients to reduce their staffing levels and running costs through outsourcing solutions. The Philippines outsourcing expert has been credited for helping clients to operate more efficiently while reducing their overheads.
In a struggling business world, businesses of all sizes are looking for ways to cut costs and achieve more profits. One of the positive ways to improve the running cost of a business and make it more efficient and profitable is to outsource to a third party. Although India was once the country that companies turned to for outsourcing their work; those days are now gone. Instead, businesses from all over the world including the USA are turning to the Philippines and STAFFVIRTUAL to outsource their work.
A spokesman for STAFFVIRTUAL said: "Over the past 12 months we have received more referrals than in any other year, and we put that down to the excellent services we provide our clients."

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
You should be seeing something in the logs (consoles 3 and 4: Alt+F3, Alt+F4; installation takes place on console 1: Alt+F1).Try chaning ATA settings in the BIOS. Some combinations work, some don't. If you try all possible ATA settings (mode of operation: Legacy, Enhanced; ATA ports: S-ATA only + keep P-ATA, P-ATA only + keep S-ATA, S-ATA + P-ATA, mapping of ports, etc.) and it still doesn't work, it's weird and I don't know what causes it. I have a machine here that locks when probing the CD-ROM with any combination of settings and haven't found a way around it.We'll be releasing 188.8.131.52 these days. It uses a newer kernel. Maybe it fixes your problem (and hopefully doesn't introduce too many others).
Question: What kernel version is on the next release of Pluto?
Quote from: "anonymous"Question: What kernel version is on the next release of Pluto?The next CD will have kernel 2.6.12 in 1st stage install and 18.104.22.168 in the installation.There's a machine here that gave a segmentation fault while loading "sata_via" when the BIOS's "MPS Revision" (MPS = Multi Processor Specifications?) setting was set to 1.4, but it worked ok when set to 1.1. All the others are set to 1.4 and don't cause problems. The next release won't have this problem as far as I can tell.
version 126.96.36.199 was released few days ago
Kernel sources that you can actually use to build your modules are here: http://ftp://ftp.plutohome.com/pub/. You'll have to change the build and source links in /lib/modules/126.96.36.199-vanilla-pluto-1-686 to point to the directory in the archive.

Major Mergers
For modified majors, engineering is just the beginning.
By Kerry Trotter
Photographs by John Sherman
Create. Improve. Enhance. That's what engineers do.
And that's what some students do with their studies, combining the engineering sciences major with one of Dartmouth's other liberal arts subjects to form a modified major.
"When I came here I was really excited that you could minor, you could double major, and you could modify major," says Laura Kier '12, an engineering and public policy modified major. "The flexible academic structure was exactly what I was searching for."
On average during the last six years, 33 percent of engineering students have opted to do a modified major. "It's extremely valuable if you're passionate about some specific thing," says Andrew Wong '12, who has modified engineering with environmental sciences.
Students regularly modify engineering with biology, chemistry, computer science, earth sciences, economics, environmental sciences, public policy, and studio art—the most popular. A new neuroscience modified major is pending final Dartmouth approval. Students can also submit their own ideas for modifying engineering with a subject such as philosophy.
"This program is continually evolving and changing," says Thayer School Dean Joseph J. Helble. "For a student, of course, there are advantages. It's a chance to combine disparate interests."
Whereas the engineering major requires 10 courses, the modified major consists of six engineering courses and four courses in the extra field of study. The modified major builds on the fact that all Dartmouth students—engineering majors included—take a full range of liberal arts courses.
"Our students have more breadth than the typical engineer coming out of other universities," says Helble. The modified major, he says, "puts engineering on an equal footing with the liberal arts."
The modified major also widens the engineering door. "I think it's a way that students who came to Dartmouth not thinking at all about engineering discover engineering," Helble says.
And many of those students stay with engineering. Seventy-five percent of modified majors remain at Thayer to complete the bachelor of engineering degree after earning the bachelor of arts degree. Modified major graduates have gone on to careers in design, architecture, technology startups, and other ventures that depend on multiple talents and skills.
Here, five students tell us about their take on their modified majors.
Ann Baum '12
Engineering Modified with Philosophy
Why Engineering: I took a lot of prerequisites for engineering coincidentally. I was interested in physics and wanted to take some math. My roommate, who was an engineering major, asked me why I was taking all the same classes she was. I was also taking philosophy classes and didn't want to give them up. The more I took of both of them, the more they overlapped in interesting ways.
Why Philosophy: I see philosophy as the basis for the sciences. It poses fundamental questions: How do you know what you know? How do you know that any of this is true? Is it because you can see it? Is it because you can feel it?
The Combination: I've joked with friends that I'm taking the most practical major and the least practical major. They're such different types of work. It's really nice to be able to sit down and work through a problem set and just focus on that and then take what almost feels like a break and think about philosophy—do the reading and sit and interpret what I've read. There's a concrete moment when you can say, "Oh wow, I actually did learn something from that reading, because now I'm thinking about this in a whole new way." That's a really nice moment that comes from philosophy.
Laura Kier '12
Engineering Modified with Public Policy, with an emphasis on Environmental Policy
Why Engineering: I'm interested in problem solving. Engineering and public policy are ways in which you can problem-solve, one from a technical perspective and one from a more conceptual perspective.
Why Public Policy: I love current events and everything related to politics, but I realized that wasn't going to be something that fit for me.
The Combination: When you work in the engineering world, you also use the tools you learn in public policy. You're serving a human need, you can relate to people and see how your technologies are serving the lives of others. In terms of the environmental-policy aspect of my studies, I really like the idea of sustainable design. My take on my major is that I will be able to survey human needs, understand environmental policy, and engineer solutions to our increasingly unsustainable world.
David Seliger '12
Engineering Modified with Studio Art
Why Engineering: I wanted the chance to build something, the chance to make my impact on the world through some kind of creation.
Why Studio Art: My parents are engineers, but my grandfather was a painter. I have art in my blood. Some people are gifted in the technical sense, and some people are gifted in the creative sense. I think I'm somewhere in-between.
The Combination: The way I want to apply art is through design, which is the intersection of studio art and engineering. It gives me a chance to have an actual impact on the world. You can affect the world through design; for example, buildings shape the way we live, and street signs affect the way we drive on the road. I took both "Product Design" and "Science of Materials" last term and worked harder than I ever worked in my whole life. Product Design is basically four inventions in a three-month span. Inventing something every two weeks while trying to learn about the atomic structure of ceramics and metals kind of makes your head hurt.
Andrew Wong '12
Engineering Modified with Environmental Sciences
Why Engineering: I really enjoy math and science and found myself gravitating toward engineering. I also really like the practicality of it, the applied-ness of engineering.
Why Environmental Sciences: I grew up in Portland, Ore., where there's an emphasis on being green. I appreciate environmental sciences for the lens through which it allows you to see engineering. You can build stuff, you can create amazing things, but are you doing it in a conscious way? Are you including factors beyond how novel or how cool it is? Are you including factors of environmental sustainability, like what materials you are using or how much energy you're using? I think it really provides a strong framework through which you can approach any kind of engineering.
The Combination: One of the reasons I came to Dartmouth and didn't want to go to a purely technical school was the liberal arts aspect, taking a broader perspective on what goes into engineering. It's really important for me to take the engineering, the practical and the environmental—the moral, you could say—and put those together in a way that creates something novel. It would be cool to do materials engineering, but I would also enjoy working on appropriate technologies in developing countries. Using engineering to help people achieve a better standard of living would be great.
Frances Wang '12
Engineering Modified with Environmental Sciences, with a Minor in Biology
Why Engineering: I wanted to build something with my two hands and know that what I'm building or what I'm trying to do is going to solve a problem somewhere.
Why Environmental Sciences: I would like to go into something where I could reconcile developing needs of countries along with environmental needs.
The Combination: I'm still trying to balance the two subjects. I've taken a sustainability class that incorporates both engineering and environmental science. I'm also working with biology professor Celia Chen and engineering professor Mark Borsuk on modeling mercury cycling in a stream environment or estuary environment. We'll run a computer program to see, under certain parameters, how much mercury will leave the sediment and go into the water and how much will get taken up by fish, and how that will impact humans down the line.

Connecticut will now limit the size of gun magazines to 10 rounds, expand the state's assault weapons ban and require universal background checks for all gun sales. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
With a green and white ribbon to commemorate the victims of one of the worst school shootings in American history pinned to his lapel, Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy signed a broad new package of gun laws Thursday in the state where 20 children and 6 educators were slain nearly four months ago.
Connecticut is the third state, following Colorado and New York, to pass sweeping new gun legislation after the December school shooting.
"This is a profoundly emotional day, I think, for everyone in this room and everyone watching what is transpiring today in the state of Connecticut," Malloy said before signing the bill. "We have come together in a new way that relatively few places in our nation have demonstrated an ability to do."
Lawmakers had worked to forge a bipartisan consensus around the bill. The final package limited the size of gun magazines to 10 rounds, expanded the state's existing assault weapons ban, and required universal background checks on all gun sales in the state.
The bill passed by bipartisan majorities in both the Senate and the House.
"I've been amazed at the strength of the families since the day of Newtown," Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman said at the Thursday ceremony.
State Sen. John McKinney, a Republican who represents Newtown, said on Wednesday that the bill was an imperfect but necessary step in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy.
"The message we can send if those outside the walls of Connecticut are listening is encourage them to do the same, encourage our elected officials in Washington to put aside the politics and see if they can find some common ground," McKinney said Wednesday.
The Connecticut Citizens Defense League, a group that opposes gun control, denounced the new legislation in a post on its blog, saying that when the bill took effect Connecticut would have "the most unconstitutional gun laws in the entire country."
Adam Lanza fired 154 rounds in fewer than 300 seconds after he entered the Newtown school armed with a Bushmaster .223 rifled and several 30-round magazines, according to investigators.
The shooting provoked a national outcry for tighter gun controls, but so far, with the exception of Colorado, New York and Connecticut, few states have made sweeping changes.
And a handful of states, such as Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky, have gone the other direction, passing laws that would expand who can carry a gun and where.
President Obama pushed for a new federal law requiring more comprehensive background checks in a speech in Colorado on Wednesday. Obama said there "doesn't have to be a conflict" between new gun laws and respect for gun rights.
Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat, said the Connecticut bill provides an example to his fellow federal lawmakers on how to pass "tough, common sense gun laws."
"The people of our state know that it takes bold, courageous action like this to help prevent the next tragic shooting," Murphy said in a statement.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who led an aggressive January charge to tighten his state's already strict laws, congratulated Connecticut lawmakers on Thursday "for taking bold new action to protect the people of their state."
The mother of one of the school children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School thanked Gov. Malloy at the Thursday signing. Nicole Hockley's son Dylan was among the young students who died on December 14.
"While I am grateful for the progress being made, I wish more than anything that I were just back at home waiting till it was time for both Dylan and Jake to come home from school," Hockley said.

Do you need help finding resources/solutions to help you manage everyday life challenges?
We offer this FREE service to all those families enrolled in our program.
Parents, during the month of November we will be participating in the pajama drive to help provide pajamas for children living in shelters, group homes, foster care and other organizations that support at-risk youth. Our classrooms will be competing against each other to see which classroom can bring in the most pajamas. The class that wins will receive a pizza party!
Please have all donations into Megan or Jessica by Friday, December 8th. Thank you so much for participating in this great cause!!
Here are some simple guidelines for the pajamas:
A fun advent idea to countdown the days until Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanza. Shop at a children's consignment store such as "Once Upon a Child" or "Goodwill" to get your books in good condition for only around $1. Also you can get inexpensive books from ordering from our school catalogs through scholastic books. This is a good alternative to candy. Promotes literacy and counting!
Children love to help in the kitchen-it gives them a chance learn about math and to be creative! Share recipes with your child that have been passed down to you from your parents.
Enjoy those holiday classics, your kids will bound to love them! Make some popcorn and spend some time together!
Parents please share with your children these helpful hints.
Be Confident. Walk with your head held high. Bullies want an easy target, someone who doesn't have confidence.
Ignore them. Bullies want a reaction. If you don't respond, you take away their power.
Tell an adult. They can help with your fears and frustration and help make the bullying stop. If the first adult doesn't help, tell another one.
Stick together. Bullies look for kids who are alone.
Don't fight. You do not know how the bully will respond and you are likely to get hurt and in trouble.
Check out the December Calendar. There is an activity you can do at home with your child every day of the month!
With the holiday season upon us we know that children will potentially miss some days of school. We ask that you let Megan or Jessica know about any days your child will not be in attendance PRIOR to their absence. Thank you!
Staff Change Update: Ms. Carmen has retired. She has worked at our center for 18 years and she has decided it was time to take it easy. She has worked with all age groups and has been a big part of our children and families lives over the years. We wish her well, she will be missed.

It was like that moment in a fairy tale when the princess gracefully walks down the stairs, and the prince forgets about everything else in the world except for the stunning lady before him. Only in this case the prince is 13 and the lovely lady is 11, and they aren't at a fancy ball but at a cheerleading practice at a Houston church.
For Lyndall Locke it was love at first sight when he first laid eyes on Houston-bred superstar Beyonce, as he describes it in a video on Entertainment Tonight. He says he remembers everything about that day: her hair, what she was wearing. He remembers it all.
"We were at cheerleading practice and [Kelly Rowland] walks in with Beyonce, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life," he said, "I couldn't even do cheerleading practice 'cause I was staring at her."
According to Locke, he was so love struck that he broke up with his girlfriend at the time just so he could win over Beyonce's heart. Locke's quick actions were successful, and they started dating.
The relationship lasted long enough for Locke to plan on marrying Beyonce, but toward the end insecurities got the best of him, and he made some choices that cost him his relationship, he said in the TV interview.
"She just so happened to be in Atlanta and [through mutual friends] find out that I was 'hanging out' with his other girl." Locke said "She called me and asked me 'is this the case,' and I was like 'yes this is the case,' and she said 'well thanks a lot, we can't be together now.'"
At the time, the break up didn't bother Locke. He blames it on being young and dumb.
"When you are young and it's your first time doing certain things you get excited about those certain things," he said.
In his mind Locke thought he was still going to get back with Beyonce, after all "how you gonna pass up on all this?" But Beyonce moved on and started dating Shawn Corey "Jay-Z" Carter.
Locke figured it would fizzle out. He was just waiting for Carter to screw things up with Beyonce.
"He was a lot older than her, and if I can mess up he can mess something up too," Locke said. "Any man who is 10 years older than a younger woman has got to be able to mess it up, but they know how not to mess up also."
Through all that Locke still thinks fondly of Beyonce. He remembers her as a simple, down to earth girl.
"She is the most beautiful woman in the world if you ask me," he said "she was a great person, not a lot of drama came with her. Any girl that you aren't with any more that was awesome like that then you're like 'yea, I screwed that up.'"

Nittany Lions look to trip up No. 14 Badgers
Seniors to be honored before game Satuday
In college football, endings have a way of serving as springboards for the future.
Some teams, such as Penn State, will have to wait another nine months before playing again after the regular season finale Saturday at No. 14 Wisconsin.
But it sure would give the Nittany Lions (6-5, 3-4 Big Ten) some positive offseason vibes if they can trip up the Badgers (9-2, 6-1) and their hopes of an at-large berth in a big-money Bowl Championship Series game.
"And there's only one game left, so ... our guys will be ready to go out there and lay it on the line, I know that," Penn State coach Bill O'Brien said.
NCAA sanctions have the Nittany Lions shut out of the postseason again. But Wisconsin can sniff another BCS game, sitting just a spot from the top 14 berth in the BCS standings needed to qualify for an at-large spot.
Around Madison, BCS chatter is commonplace in November. The Badgers have been to three straight Rose Bowls, though their hopes of playing for another Big Ten title were dashed this year with a loss to Ohio State.
Wisconsin could finish the regular season with two more wins than last year's 8-6 squad, but find themselves out of the BCS. Coach Gary Andersen didn't plan to address postseason scenarios with his team as part of preparation this week.
"But if they're given that opportunity and they're deemed to be in that position," Andersen said, "the best thing I say about that is if they can find a way to win this game against Penn State, do I think that they deserve that opportunity to play in a BCS bowl game? Absolutely, yes."
Five things to know ahead of the final "Jump Around" of the season at Camp Randall Stadium.
SENIOR SENDOFF: It's going to be hard for future Wisconsin classes to match the success this year's crop of 26 seniors had in their careers. Enduring a coaching change from Bret Bielema to Andersen, the Badgers didn't miss a beat.
A strong crop of senior leaders led by top linebacker Chris Borland helped smooth the transition. They'll be honored before the game Saturday.
"If you buy into the top, I'm sure the young guys would follow, and I think that is what's happened here," Borland said.
HERE'S TO YOU: Allen Robinson, Penn State's elite receiver, keeps frustrating secondaries week after week. The junior has been the Big Ten's top wideout two seasons running, and there may not be much left for him to prove on the collegiate level.
If Saturday is his last game for Penn State, Robinson needs 10 catches to tie Deon Butler's school career record of 179 receptions (2005-2008).
"A guy that good, you just don't play him physical the whole game because that's not going to work," senior safety Dezmen Southward said. "You have to be constantly showing him different looks."
DOWNTOWN ABBY: Wisconsin has a pretty good receiver, too, in senior Jared Abbrederis, whose contributions can be overshadowed by the Badgers' powerful running game.
Abbrederis has excelled in connecting with quarterback Joel Stave for big gains on play-action passes. Don't be surprised to see Wisconsin take more than a few shots down field with Abbrederis after establishing the run. Abbrederis is second on the school career list behind Lee Evans in yards receiving (2,975) and touchdown catches (23).
HACK ATTACK: The future is bright at quarterback for Penn State with Christian Hackenberg, who has already compiled the best season in school history for a freshman signal-caller. Hackenberg has completed 58 percent of his passes for 2,616 yards with 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
"When you look at being 18 years old and coming in here and playing pretty much every snap of every game, I think he's gotten better and better" at being a game manager, O'Brien said.
RUSH MEN: Wisconsin seems to throw in a new wrinkle each week, but the offensive philosophy remains the same: the Badgers plan to run the ball. Try and stop it.
With Melvin Gordon (1,375 yards, 12 TDs) and James White (1,281 yards, 13 TDs) leading the way, Wisconsin just needs 34 yards to break the school team record of 3,309 set last season -- in 14 games.

Arturo Toscanini(1867-1957)
As a conductor he was a martinet and his total dedication to the composer was as distinct as William Furtwängler, for example, was not. He began his musical career as a cellist. When he was 19 he found himself as cellist and assistant chorus master, part of an Italian troupe performing in Brazil at São Paulo and Rio. The chorus and orchestra were to be filled out by locally hired talent. The Brazilian conductor Miguez was severely criticized in the Press after a performance of Faust. He sent an open letter to the newspaper accusing 'the foreign singers' for the bad performance.
In the next performance the locals booed Miguez down. Toscanini who was late in coming found total confusion in and front of the curtain. One from the audience pointing to young Toscanini shouted,'Let him try! He knows the opera by heart.' The impresario and the Italian troup turned to the cellist to save day and he did. His debut on the night of June 25, 1886 was a triumph.
When the WWI broke out there were pressures on him to leave out Beethoven and other German composers from the programmes, as concession to prevailing patriotic sentiments. He refused to let politics interfere with music.
In the matter of Fascism he resisted it. When Mussolini became dictator there was directive to display his portrait in all public buildings and play Giovenzza, the Fascist hymn before all concerts. Whole of Italy it was enforced except at La Scala, Milan.
In the end Toscanini had to choose self-exile than give in. In 1943 when Il Duce fell the day after, two big banners appeared in front of La Scala asking Toscanini to come back and he did.
He fell foul with Hitler also. In the summer of 1933 he was invited to Bayreuth to conduct Wagner on his 50th Death Anniversary. Personally it was to be realization of a dream long cherished. But on April 1, 1933 Hitler proclaimed a national boycott of all Jewish shops. Next day Toscanini decided to refuse to conduct Wagner in Bayreuth. Not even Hitler's conciliatory letter could change his decision.
Later the maestro was in the USA and he was the conductor of N.B.C and scheduled for a rehearsal. The news reached him that Hitler's troops overran Salzburg, the city of Mozart.
The same day during rehearsal he exploded over a trifle. Having stopped the rehearsal he went to his dressing room, locked himself and wept.
His memory was as keen visually as well as aurally. His photographic memory absorbed a page at one glance in its entirety. One day when he was rehearsing the orchestra at the end of Act I of Tristan and Isolde he suddenly stopped and asked,'where is the cymbal?'
There was no cymbal crash marked in the score. They showed that there was no cymbal marked and he was not convinced. Finally Wagner's manuscript was fetched and there was the cymbal crash. Over the years it had somehow dropped out.
His rehearsals were quite intense that he once remarked,'every rehearsal is like a concert to me; and every concert like a debut.'

Hoping to head off wider health care cuts in upcoming budget talks, a think tank close to the White House is unveiling a plan for how to save $385 billion, mostly from Medicare.
Medicaid and the new health care law are largely spared from cuts in the blueprint being released Wednesday by the liberal-leaning Center for American Progress. Instead, it targets Medicare service providers, from the pharmaceutical industry to hospitals and nursing homes. And higher-income Medicare recipients would face increased monthly premiums for outpatient and prescription coverage.
After taxes, health care costs are probably the thorniest issue facing policymakers looking for a way to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, an economically toxic combination of tax increases and spending cuts looming Jan. 1 if compromise fails.
Rising health care costs are the most stubborn element of the nation's long-term budget woes. At the same time, a recent report for the government estimated that the U.S. health care system squanders $750 billion a year, about 30 cents of every medical dollar.
The center's proposal is notable because it comes from an organization that serves as a kind of idea factory for President Barack Obama's administration, akin to the conservative Heritage Foundation during Ronald Reagan's presidency. The plan calls on Obama to draw the line against broader cuts and premium increases in budget talks with Republicans.
"This isn't a floor. This is a ceiling," said Neera Tanden, president of the center and formerly a senior White House official who worked on Obama's health overhaul. "The idea was to provide ideas in the debate that would not punish the middle class and low-income seniors."
Congressional Republicans call the approach wishful thinking. They argue that all health care programs, including Medicaid for the poor and Obama's law covering the uninsured, must be on the table. They say any plan that walls off big portions of government health care spending is simply not credible.
Tanden suggests Republicans recheck the election results. Voters, she said, knew that Republican Mitt Romney wanted to repeal the health care law, privatize Medicare and give Medicaid over to the states — and they chose Obama. "This election was not a coin toss," she said. "We did not come out equal."
The center's plan rejects raising the Medicare eligibility age to 67, a concession that Obama quietly offered up in failed budget negotiations last year. Instead it focuses on squeezing Medicare service providers, a strategy the plan's authors say will make the entire health care system more efficient without risking quality.
Drugmakers would take the biggest hit, accounting for $160 billion, or about 40 percent of the proposed 10-year savings. Nearly all of that would come from requiring pharmaceutical companies to pay rebates on drugs provided to low-income Medicare beneficiaries.
Hospitals account for an additional $61 billion in cuts, or 16 percent of the total. Medical device manufacturers and insurance companies would be on the hook for about $20 billion apiece. Nursing homes are targeted for $16 billion in reductions.
The plan has two main proposals affecting Medicare beneficiaries.
It would revamp deductibles and cost-sharing in traditional Medicare so that most seniors pay at least their first $500 in medical costs in any given year, with exceptions for prevention and care for chronic disease. At the same time, it would protect beneficiaries with catastrophic costs by limiting total cost-sharing.
Although this proposal would not save the government any money, some seniors would pay more and others less. Those with Medigap insurance that cover their medical costs from the first dollar would have to pay out of pocket, although they'd recoup some of that through lower premiums. All Medicare beneficiaries would benefit from better protection against catastrophic costs. Overall, the idea behind the proposal is to discourage people from going to the doctor when they don't have to.
The plan also would permanently increase the share of well-to-do seniors paying higher premiums for outpatient and prescription coverage, as well as boosting those premiums by 15 percent.
The center is also proposing to repeal a payment formula for doctors that has failed to contain costs, replacing it with an approach that rewards primary and preventive care while squeezing specialists. Unless Congress acts, doctors will face a nearly 30 percent cut in Medicare payments on Jan. 1.

Updated (8/7/2012): Added screenshot at end of post of which includes data broken out by fiscal calendar (starts in July) and link to that file as well.
Updated (8/9/2012): Added some information at the bottom of the post in regards to downloading issues and more information available in the comments section.
Last week I saw a post by Sam Vanga called SQL Saturday US Map. Needless to say I found it interesting and a great idea. That made me think a bit and I was like hmm… why not take that same data and use it with the new Excel 2013 with PowerPivot, Power View, and maybe even a little Office 365! I had to leverage the Microsoft stack of course:)
So I went out to the SQL Saturday site and copied down all of the event details. Needless to say a little scrubbing was required because the data was a bit incomplete to get at some of the location information. After a little while I felt fairly good with the data and loaded the information into PowerPivot for Excel 2013. I added a few more columns around the date information to generate a calendar and to do some sorting. Once that was done I went ahead and started to put together a little dashboard page. I ended up with the following:
We can see that the SQL Saturday events over the past couple of years have really grown in popularity and after 2010 they went global as well.
We can zoom in on the map and get a close up as well. Last year we had the SQL Saturday #99 in Eden Prairie, MN.
I even added the ability to drill down from the cities to the zip code level and also some drill down on the column chart for the counts as well.
Some pretty cool stuff.
We can even upload this into the Office 365 preview and share this information as well which support PowerPivot and Power View.
You might notice that the colors for the themes don't match up quite yet, but other than that it works out well and you can interact with the Power View visualizations and reports! In the above screenshot in Office 365 I have the tile where the map resides filtered to 2012. You can see that the map really opens up now for the entire globe compared to the 2010 and 2011 views. I can only assume that next year it will grow even more:)
The data that I grabbed for this was from the SQL Saturday events page here (just copy paste and a bit of cleanup).
If you would like to download the Excel 2013 file I created you can grab it from here – SQLData.xlsx
Fiscal Year Layout
I received a request from Karla Landrum the PASS Community Evangelist to see the data setup using the PASS fiscal calendar which starts in July versus the regular calendar. Well I decided to add in a full date table and refresh the output. Here is the result and the new file can be downloaded here – SQLDataFiscal.xlsx
If you are experiencing any issues with the downloads take a look at the comments section of this post. I did some testing and found some issues if you try to directly download the file from the browser and a workaround if the SQLSat Dash does not load for you. You can download the file(s) from my Public|Blog SkyDrive folder.

"I spoke to him and I asked him to do one thing for me," Williams said. "Go back to being the Gordon Beckham of last year. I asked him to go back to his setup of last year, free his hands up, take his hacks and not worry about contact as much as taking a good swing and driving the ball. He's looked a lot better."
Beckham got an eXtra Base Hit (2B) tonight after 112 ABs without an XBH.
UPDATE: Here's Gordon:
"It's reassuring," said Beckham, who received an encouraging talk from Williams on Sunday. "I had a talk with him, and it made a lot of sense. I moved my hands back in a more powerful position. And I got to see the ball and hit the ball and make good decisions on good pitches to hit. And it was good to hear from him and see the double.
"I hit that ball well, but I didn't hit it great. It almost got out of there. It's a step in the right direction."
Time to hire a hitting coach?
