MS. IFILL: It turns out the debt deal didn't stop the economic rollercoaster. We look at why and what it means for you, tonight on "Washington Week."
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: We are going to get through this. Things will get better and we're going to get there together.
MS. IFILL: Perhaps, but nothing about this week suggested confidence in the economy or in the nation's leadership.
REP. JOHN BOEHNER (R-OH) [Speaker of the House]: The bill is passed without objection.
MS. IFILL: The debt ceiling was finally raised.
REP. ERIC CANTOR (R-VA) [House Majority Leader]: I think the big win here for us and for the American people is the fact that there are no tax hikes in this package.
REP. KEITH ELLISON (D-MN): This is the wrong approach for our economy at the wrong time. It goes against our basic values.
MS. IFILL: And there will be some pain.
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LEON PANETTA: Make no mistake about it. We will face some very tough challenges here as we try to meet those numbers.
MS. IFILL: But 74,000 aviation industry workers were temporarily sidelined by another Washington disagreement.
SEN. JAY ROCKEFFELER (D-WV): It's a tragedy about ego, about bullying, about an attempt to prove one side would cave.
MS. IFILL: The unemployment rate ticked slightly downward, but the stock market took a jarring plunge. As the nation's capital catches its breath in August, what happens now?
Covering the week, Charles Babington of the Associated Press; Michael Duffy of Time magazine; and Deborah Solomon of the Wall Street Journal.
ANNOUNCER: Award winning reporting and analysis, covering history as it happens, live from our nation's capital, this is "Washington Week with Gwen Ifill," produced in association with National Journal.
(Station announcements.)
ANNOUNCER: Once again, live from Washington, moderator Gwen Ifill.
MS. IFILL: Good evening. It's been a dizzying week – good news followed by bad news, followed by mystifying news starting with today's new jobless numbers. The good news, better than expected job creation, but those who are unemployment have been out of work much longer.
PRES. OBAMA: The unemployment rate went down, not up. But while this marks the 17th month in a row of job growth in the private sector, nearly 2.5 million new private sector jobs in all, we have to create more jobs than that each month to make up for the more than eight million jobs that the recession claimed.
MS. IFILL: By the end of the day, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 61 points after a bone-rattling 512-point drop only yesterday, leaving us more confused than ever. Is the economy just recovering slowly or is it headed back into recession? Deborah.
MS. SOLOMON: Well, if you ask six different economists, you'd probably get six different answers. The reality is we just don't know. This recovery has been unlike any we've seen in the past. And you used the word "mystifying," and that's a pretty apt description for this recovery. It's mystifying markets, economists, even the Federal Reserve. You know, many economists put the risks of recession higher now than they did a few months ago. Marty Feldstein, the Harvard economist, says odds are 50 percent.
That said, today's jobless claims did come to market somewhat and eased some fears that we're going to head into a double dip unless – and this is a big caveat, unless some big event spooks the markets. And that's not a riskless proposition. I mean, we are in the middle of global turmoil. You know, Europe has all these debt problems and we are somewhat exposed. So there is a risk.
And the good news is that we're adding jobs. The economy is growing. But the bad news is is that the fundamentals are just so weak. I mean, let's look at the unemployment rate. Yes, it went down to 9.1 percent, but the reason is because so many people stopped looking for jobs -- 193,000 people just vanished from the labor market.
MS. IFILL: As bad as that is, I can't help but imagine – if the unemployment rate had ticked up even a fifth of a tenth of a percent, people's hair would have been on fire today.
MS. SOLOMON: Right.
MS. IFILL: So on balance, that word balance, is it still better good than not?
MS. SOLOMON: Yes. Yes. Definitely. I mean, part of this is a confidence game. A lot of this has to do with just people being completely scared that we are headed back into a recession. If you see the unemployment rate go back up to 9.3 percent, 9.4 percent, you're going to see people just hoarding cash more than they are. Corporations already are not investing and they're worried about the climate.
But the 9.1 percent it's good news in terms of perception. But you don't want to see – you want to see your employment rate go down and your labor participation rate go up. And that's not what's happening. We're at a low, at a point we haven't been since the 1980s. So it is good in a sense of optics, but not great in terms of the real fundamentals.
MR. DUFFY: Over the last two and a half years, the big question in Washington that we were talking about week after week after week is what government can do to stimulate the economy, both fiscal policy and in terms of monetary policy. And the argument politically is what it should do, but there's been a lot of talk about what it can do. Is it now – are we now at the point where the government simply has no cards left play?
MS. SOLOMON: Well, yes. I mean, you know, they don't have cards left to play in two respects. One is that they did this massive stimulus program, and you can argue things would have been a lot of worse and they probably would have been.
MS. IFILL: But we are those who thought it would have been more massive than it was.
MS. SOLOMON: Right. Exactly. But, I mean, what we got for that amount of money, for that $800 billion, is a very sluggish recovery. You know, there is no appetite for additional spending. You saw in the debt debate they couldn't event extend the payroll tax cut or the unemployment insurance. These are small things, but they still are crucial for things like state and local governments, which is where you're seeing a lot of the jobs being lost. At the same time, interest rates are near zero. The Fed has very little left that it can do. It can continue buying treasuries. It stopped this program in June. I think it's going to take a lot more than a kind of wild ride on Wall Street and a couple of months of bad numbers for them to do anymore of that. But there very little – few things that they – the tools are not there so much anymore.
MR. BABINGTON: You mentioned Europe. We tend not to think much about the economy of Greece and Portugal having anything to do with our big economy, is that right?
MS. SOLOMON: No. I mean, we are linked together. You know, the 2008 financial crisis showed us that everybody is kind of in this together. And U.S. institutions are exposed to European financial assets and in part money market mutual funds which everybody has. These are where you park your cash. They're supposed to be really safe. About half of their holdings are in European assets, so we do face exposure there.
And just sort of in the broader sense, in kind of the more macro-sense, the worries help kind of fuel this worry about the overall economy. But also we want Europe to buy our stuff. And if they're not spending money, if they're not borrowing, our exports are not going to go to those countries.
MS. IFILL: You mentioned a word a moment ago: "confidence" or lack thereof, which seems to be a theme throughout our program tonight because what a lot of the nervousness is, including are the ratings agencies going to downgrade the government's rating again, all these things that somehow have not gone away in spite of the debt deal. It makes you wonder whether everyone has braced for this double-dip recession we keep hearing about.
MS. SOLOMON: Right. I mean, in some ways, it might be a self-fulfilling prophecy – as people get more nervous and more worried about what's going to happen, they're just going to retrench even more. I heard somebody say, you know, after the wild ride on Wall Street yesterday people stopped going out to dinner. Restaurants got cancellations for reservations. Consumer spending hit an – you know, basically, which is 70 percent of our economic activity, hit a two-year low in June. So people are nervous and it's not going to take much more for them to basically just stop and kind of say, whoa, I'm worried about my 401(k). I'm worried about sending my kids to college. I'm going to hold back.
MS. IFILL: And that's something which business theoretically could spark if they get off some of cash which they're sitting on.
MS. SOLOMON: Right. Right.
MS. IFILL: Which somehow this administration can't talk them into doing
MS. SOLOMON: No. And they're worried about a number of things. I mean, yes. They're worried about the debt downgrade but they're also worried about what's going to happen in kind of this post-debt ceiling debate, what's going to happen with taxes. There's all this uncertainty. And they say, I'm not going to spend money on trucks or plants or equipment if I don't know what my taxes are going to be. And you can say that's a red herring, but businesses say it's true. They just don't want to spend money if they don't know what they're going to be taxed on.
MS. IFILL: You know, you talk about this post-debt deal environment which we're all living in because, as you recall, this time last week, we thought this was all – that was supposed to solve everything. It was supposed to calm the markets, calm the economy. But oddly enough, the markets began to shake only after Congress passed and the president signed the agreement to raise the debt limit that has crippled Congress for the last several weeks.
In the end, the deal made a lot of people on both sides unhappy. One Democrat memorably called it a sugar-coated Satan sandwich, my favorite line of the week. Here's how Senate leaders characterized the final deal.
SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV) [Senate Majority Leader]: The debate was long. It wasn't easy. For weeks the American people have watched and wondered whether Congress could get its job done. Well, we got it done and brought our economy back from the brink of disaster.
SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY) [Senate Minority Leader]: I'm often asked what would you do to get the economy going. My answer is always the same: we need to quit doing what we've been doing – quit borrowing, quit spending, quit trying to raise taxes, quit over-regulating and let the private sector flourish.
MS. IFILL: There were so many moving pieces in this story that in the end we thought we'd ask Chuck to explain tonight how did it all finally come together.
MR. BABINGTON: Well, Gwen, there were 1,000 moving pieces, but in the end the two most important people that mattered here were John Boehner, the speaker of the Republican-controlled House, and Mitch McConnell, who we just saw, the minority leader in the Democratic-controlled Senate. And both of them did not want default. They knew it would be bad for the country and they knew it would be disastrous for the Republican Party.
Now, not everybody in the Republican Party agreed with that. So, right off the bat, they had a problem that they were facing. But they weren't going to be rolled because they had leverage, some leverage. Boehner did not completely control his caucus as we saw, so there was a danger that he might not be able to rein them in. And, of course, in the Senate, as almost always is the case, the minority party has filibuster power. So that gave both of them enough power to have some negotiating ability.
At the end, it really came down to two big issues: would there be tax increases? Remember, President Obama repeatedly said there has to be a balanced approach, there have to be new revenues. Those in the end were not in it. And then, the other thing was, was it going to be a two-part increase in the debt ceiling where the second part would be contingent on more votes by Congress? And President Obama was adamant that that not happen so before the next election we would have another go-round of this circus. And he won on that point.
So those were the two big concessions. And once those two things got settled, the last minute was a little minor haggle about the Pentagon and they were done.
MS. IFILL: You know, what puzzled me about this is that there was a moment – there were several moments – where it felt like they had a deal, right?
MR. BABINGTON: Right.
MS. IFILL: At one point Senator Reid, Senator Boehner seemed – Congressman Boehner seemed to have figured it out. At one point, the president seemed to have figured it out. What happened in the week between the last almost deal and the final deal, because it didn't seem like the details changed that much?
MR. BABINGTON: The details – that's exactly right, Gwen. The details didn't change that much. So really it was a matter of the Republicans having to convince the Democrats – and, frankly, this probably happened a good number of days before. We cannot get new revenues through. It will not happen. And then, on the other hand, the president pushing back to say, okay, that's the deal. You will not get this two-step, two-part, two-bites-at-the-apple increase.
And once they all kind of realized that was a deal – and then, again, once the – the deal has to come out of the Senate because that's where the minority party has control – once it came back to the House, there was really no way that the House could vote it down. But if the Republicans voted it down, it would be disastrous for their party. And the Democrats had plenty of incentive to vote by that point because it was essentially a Democratic deal.
MR. DUFFY: Chuck, they've kicked the can down the road on the bigger deal, the –
MS. IFILL: The thing they swore, by the way, they were not going to do.
MR. DUFFY: Exactly. Right. That's how you knew it was going to happen. The idea of doing a grand bargain where you actually do something much broader than just another round of cuts or another round of sort of attempts to get at the deficit and debt problem. What really are the prospects now for doing the kind of big thing that Boehner and Obama talked about in one of the earlier incarnations? Any better or just as bleak as they were before?
MR. BABINGTON: There are some people who think it's possible. The grand bargain is one of the most fascinating parts of this whole story. I think it's a little untold because a lot of it was done in secret. And it turned out that John Boehner was seriously considering a deal that would have $4 trillion in deficit reduction, including about $1 trillion in new revenues. Twice he kind of walked up towards the edge of that and pulled back. He probably would have had a very hard time selling that to his constituents. And President Obama might well have also.
Now we've got a – we're setting up this super-committee of House and Senate members, equally divided between the two parties, that by November has to come up with some plans. It's possible, Michael, that they will engage in the grand bargain. I wouldn't look forward to that.
MS. SOLOMON: What happened? You know, the tea party seemed to play a big role here in kind of breaking apart the Republican Caucus and causing all problems for Boehner. So what happens going forward with this super-committee? I mean, how is Boehner going to get his caucus to vote for anything that the super-committee winds up doing or – are they going to pose like a big challenge to the Republican Party, especially as we go into an election?
MR. BABINGTON: You know, Deborah, the Republican Party over the years has become increasingly adamant about no new taxes. And the tea party just put more muscle, if anything, into that position. And we saw that played out in all these negotiations over the last few weeks. And a lot of people feel that because of that, this super-committee which, again, will be evenly divided between the parties, it will be extremely difficult for them to come up with a tax increase proposal.
At the same time, the tea party, which is here to stay and is a very influential organization within the Republican Party, about half of their members in the House did vote for the compromise in the end. So they're not monolithic. They're not completely unyielding. So we haven't seen the whole tea party story play out yet.
MS. IFILL: You know, part of the discussion that developed after this all is that everyone was disgusted with the Democrats. Everyone was disgusted with the Republicans. But, you know, somebody sent them there. Are voters – is this what voters sent to Washington, this – the question of whether it was dysfunction or divided government, I don't know?
MR. BABINGTON: Sometimes American voters seem to be their own worst enemies. They'll say in overwhelming numbers they want bipartisanship. They want Congress to work things out. But they vote in ways, Gwen – and this has been increasing over the years – that almost assure that that will not happen. And a big reason we've talked about it on this show before is that because of gerrymandering and because of low participation in primaries that liberals dominate the Democratic primaries, conservatives dominate the Republican primaries, and by the time that a lot of people realize, hey, there's a general election in November, the ball game's over. The primary determined everything in so many of these districts.
MS. IFILL: Okay. Well, thanks, Chuck. Okay. So let's try to make sense of it all. Deals get cut, markets go up and then down, and the net result appears to be this: Americans are losing confidence in almost everything. The latest New York Times-CBS News poll offers this gloomy picture. On President Obama, 48 percent approve of his job performance; 47 percent disapprove. It's worse for Congress: 14 percent approve of them; 82 percent disapprove. And 75 percent say members of Congress do not deserve reelection next year. It goes on like that – Americans think the country is on the wrong track, they're not enthralled with President Obama's leadership qualities, and they more dislike than like even the tea party. So what are we to take from all that, all of these gloomy numbers?
MR. DUFFY: I think if you were to put this whole thing to a test, we would be having a vote of no confidence.
MS. IFILL: Right.
MR. DUFFY: The lack of consumer confidence in the economy that you talked about is sort of matched in almost equal numbers to a lack of voter confidence in our political leaders' ability to solve the economic problems, which creates a kind of double-whammy of gloom. And you can see that in all of the numbers.
And when pollsters actually look at some of the data you've talked about, they say, we haven't seen these kinds of metrics, numbers in 25, 35, 45 years. And that sets up and this is where we really – it gets really kind of hairy, a kind of very unpredictable political environment. And, don't forget, we were living in an already pretty volatile political environment when this started.
Just a couple of things. That 14 percent number about the number – the 14 percent of Americans who approve of Congress –
MS. SOLOMON: Who are they?
MR. DUFFY: That's the lowest since 1974 when Richard Nixon resigned. And that's lower, of course, than when we had the 2010 landslide, the 2006 landslide, and the 1994 thing – election which changed the House of Congress. So you set up the prospect now – we're still a ways from the real election – of having yet another wave, "toss out the bums" result next fall.
There was one other thing – President Obama isn't immune to this. The average weekly tracking poll survey that Gallup does shows that he too is now, as you noted, at the lowest point he's been since he's been president. And among independent voters, Gwen, which is what you care about if you're at the White House, that number is now 37 percent approval and that's 15 points below where he was before.
MS. IFILL: Is this – it's tempting to compare this to the Jimmy Carter years, the last time a president had such a tough time. And we know what happened to Jimmy Carter after his first term. Is it comparable?
MR. DUFFY: I think it is. You actually hear people talking about whether the president needed to kind of reset a much bigger part of his presidency than he has, maybe cabinet switches. It's not clear that that will happen, unlikely I think. I think inside the White House there's some head scratching about what both to do about the jobs picture – they don't have a lot of levers to pull. They're going to hit the road on a bus trip here in a week or two and try to talk about it.
But they also are I think quite confounded by how to deal with this resurgent, reenergized Republican Party that the Republican Party has its own challenge with. And I think what's going to happen and what they're talking about is probably – and they really only have one card left to play politically and that is to get tougher, to make their politics edgier. It's not Barack Obama's instincts to play dirty at all, but I think he's going to find that that's about the only sort of name names, perhaps campaign in people's districts, do some recess appointments, do the kind of things he's been so far reluctant to do.
MR. BABINGTON: Well, Michael, is the pathway now open for a presidential candidate from the Republican Party just talk about jobs, jobs, jobs and all these failures, just start ticking off all these numbers or is it more complicated for them? Are they going to start running into some problems, keeping in mind that none of them has won the nomination?
MR. DUFFY: I think the answer is yes, both are happening. They're already talking about jobs, though they're not being any more specific about what they would do to create those things than the White House has been able to do. And they have their own challenge because this party is now somewhat under the thrall, maybe even the control, of a group of voters that didn't exist two years ago that have come on very strong, that have obviously ran the table in the 2010 elections and are even more powerful than they were six months ago.
One quick point about the tea party, you know, they've already set their sights post-debt ceiling fight on a balanced budget amendment. Most of us would say that's not going to happen but I would have said six months ago, oh, they would never take $800 billion out as a result of the debt ceiling vote. So I think anything is possible. I don't think they're at their high-water mark.
MS. SOLOMON: I mean, there seems to be just this incredible stalemate in Washington. It usually takes a crisis to act. And they couldn't even do the grand bargain. They just sort of – they kind of kicked it down the road, as you said. I mean, they're so divided. What happens over the next year, a year and a half? Can they get more divided? And what does it mean for the presidential election?
MR. DUFFY: What you said about confidence was really interesting because I thought the deal they ended up cooking in the Congress last year was essentially a giant way of saying, no, we can't. They said, we'll do this much because somewhere we're going to have to have a special machine do this other thing to really solve the problem. But we can't do it, which then adds to the lack of confidence.
The most interesting, I think, number I saw in the polls this week that worries I think me about where we're going is that in the independent voter, when you really look at it, now nearly a third of the country thinks itself as independent voters and nearly half of them now say they don't like either party, which really opens up the prospect in this environment for a third party.
MS. IFILL: So what's the president's mood about that? What does he do?
MR. DUFFY: I think this is one of the very complicated things that's going on in Washington. No one quite knows exactly what the president is going to do next. You can see that he has, in addition to the other things that he inherited, has encountered a mood and a political tone in Washington that is much more poisonous than perhaps he expected when he was elected.
MS. IFILL: And so he has to be poisonous in turn.
MR. DUFFY: Well, he may have to just be a little more – a little tougher.
MS. IFILL: A little tougher. Well, we've heard that before and we'll hear it again. Thank you all very much. Very good night. Thanks everyone. We have to leave you a few minutes early tonight to give you the opportunity to support your local PBS station. They in turn support us. But the conversation continues online where we'll pick up where we left off in the "Washington Week Webcast Extra." You can find us and let us know what you think of the news of the day at pbs.org. Next week I'll be in Iowa for the big Republican debate and straw poll. See you from there next week on "Washington Week." Good night.

Richard Stallman's Remarks on Steve Jobs: 'I'm Not Glad He's Dead, but I'm Glad He's Gone'

Even as the world mourns the death of Apple Inc.'s mastermind Steve Jobs, one of his long-time opponents and founder of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), Richard Stallman, remarked in a grossly inappropriate statement that he was glad Steve Jobs was gone.
Stallman and several other free software advocates have always held views that are diametrically opposite to the corporate principles and business model of Jobs' brainchild Apple. However, writing a post hailing the end of Jobs' "malign influence" and expressing apparent joy at the death of a man and an icon who nurtured the golden era of personal computing could do Stallman's cause more harm than good.
The post on Stallman's website reads:
"Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made cool, designed to sever fools from their freedom, has died. As Chicago Mayor Harold Washington said of the corrupt former Mayor Daley, "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone." Nobody deserves to have to die - not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even people guilty of bigger evils than theirs. But we all deserve the end of Jobs' malign influence on people's computing. Unfortunately, that influence continues despite his absence. We can only hope his successors, as they attempt to carry on his legacy, will be less effective."

He's been the top law enforcement official in Macon County for two decades, but Sheriff David Warren says he'll soon hang up his badge and enter the next chapter of his life.
Sheriff Warren says he'll soon retire from the job he's held for 20 years. Combine it with the 20 years he spent at the Tuskegee Police Department and Warren has served his community for almost 40 years.
The sheriff, who is currently 66-years-old, says he wants to spend more time with his grandchildren.
His current term ends in January 2015.

The driest spot on The planet are the McMurdo Dry Valleys, in Antarctica.
The valleys have very low humidness and practically no ice or snow cover - the biggest ice-free region on the continent.
Nearby mountain tops are higher enough, so they prevent seaward flowing snow from getting the valleys.
The winds can get to speeds of 322 kph.
If an animal dies there, it gets mummified for many years, because there is quite little native life to decompose it.
Oymyakon is a village located in the Republic of Yakutia (often also called the Republic of Sakha), Russia. Republic of Yakutia is located in the village itself lies along the River Indigirka. Since 2001, there were approximately 5000 people who inhabit this village.
The name of the village means "no freeze water" comes from the fact that it is near thermal water . Oymyakon is the coldest location on Earth where live people.
Snow rollers form when you fall on the icy surface of a thick layer of snow. At a certain temperature and wind speed parts are separated and the snow began to turn. When rolling on the ground, they gathered along the way extra snow. Their internal layers are generally porous, allowing the wind to roll easily, making it resemble a large snow donuts.
Snow rollers are quite rare, having been seen in North America and UK

About Tegu
Inspired by the classic wooden toys of Europe, brothers Chris and Will Haughey founded Tegu to pursue the notion of breathing new life into a classic reinventing the wooden block with embedded magnets. After a meaningful trip to Honduras, they also wanted to address unemployment, neglected natural and human resources, and the need for entrepreneurship there. Today, they run a shop in Honduras that produces the durable, safe, and all-natural building blocks made from sustainably harvested tropical hardwoods. In addition, they offer stable, living wage jobs, help to give children the opportunity to attend school, and work to reforest Honduras by planting more than 34,500 trees to date.
Like Magic Cabin, Tegu believes that creativity and imagination are a child's best friend; when combined, they yield remarkable results. With this in mind, Tegu creates classic toys that serve as a foundation for exploration while stimulating mental growth, imaginative capacity, and physical dexterity.

Well, you actually summarized my thoughts as well in the last line of your story but, I would like to add, how could anyone with any shred of humanity steal a gift given to a child by the father he will be without for what could be a year or more. What sort of low-life would do this? This puppy is especially important and special to Cameron because it would have reminded him of his dad every day while he is away, preserving the bond between father and son and giving him comfort in his father's absence. It simply amazes me how shallow and cruel some individuals can be, to do such a mean and selfish act against a young child who certainly needs this puppy far more than the person who took the dog. I too wish for the safe return of Cameron's father and his puppy. As for the thieves, well, lets hope they are found and punished.

The Need for Pretend Play in Child Development
November 11th, 2013 | 5
[This post was co-authored with Jerome L. Singer and Dorothy G.

But physical play is not the only kind of play. We often use [...]Keep reading »

4 Days Left to Play with Your Dog, for Science

I was probably 12 years old (fine, 13) the last time I played with Barbies. School was closed for a snow day, and one of my best friends trudged over to my house for mac and cheese and Barbies. But after choosing our dolls and clothing, we stopped. We couldn't remember what came next. All [...]Keep reading »

At the [...]Keep reading »
Chimpanzees React To A Robo-Doll

Even animals that aren't particularly social still generally have to interact with each other once in a [...]Keep reading »

How To Coach Parents [Audio]
Most moms and dads are not taught how to parent. We are supposed to just know what to do, I suppose.

Parent-child interaction therapy is a kind [...]Keep reading »
Is Playtime All Fun and Games?
Why do animals like to play? Scientists have often used the word play simply to describe any behavior that does not have any apparent adaptive function. In The Animal Mind, James L. Gould and Carol Grant Gould describe play as an "apparently purposeless activity with no immediate adaptive goal, utilizing species-typical motor programs that are [...]Keep reading »

Could we use compressed air as an alternative fuel source?
Using compressed air might be a bit ineffective but we could just use it to turn generators or vehicles crankshafts right? Its sorta the same as wind energy but in higher quantity's. The main problems I see are is it redundant to compress it, it might freeze the machine, explosion hazard (kinda same as gasoline), and it might not as effective powering machines.
Jul 29 2013: It's been done but the cars have a limited range.
MDI has a hybrid design being developed.
I wonder why this technology is not being applied to appliances in the home where a simple compressor and air tank might run washers and refrigerators.
Jul 28 2013: We use compressed air to start large Diesel engines. Basic physics dictates that it takes more power to compress air than we can harvest from it. We can however use it as a strage medium. They are working on it........ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2266632/Car-runs-air-coming-soon-Peugeot-Citroen-unveil-new-117mpg-hybrid.html
Mike Colera 30+
Aug 5 2013: Air pressure is better suited for a short term storage. Water is much better if you are storing energy for a longer period of time. If you design buildings to pump water for energy storage you get the benefit of using the power generated at night at half the cost of prime time and then using the energy the next day during peak hours. The savings in cost for the energy would be very real and easy to calculate. However, the building would then need the additional investment of storage tanks for the water, water pumps and a turbine for getting the energy back.
What is especially critical is that these pumps could be controlled centrally by a municipal power company. If you had that you would then have a way to maximize the use of renewable energy (wind and solar).
Aug 23 2013: all of those problems aside, it isn't necessary. alcohol is easily manufactured and 100% green and all internal combustion engines can run on it with very little modification. since we have internal combustion engines everywhere already this is the most sensible solution, it seems to me.
Jul 29 2013: You can use it as a fuel, but you still need to get your energy somewhere to compress the air (or other gasses).
As a use-able energy carrier, it would need to compete with batteries (stored electricity) and bio-fuels (stored oxidation)
I think it can serve some purposes, though I can't see it replacing a lot of energy-hungry devices.
Jul 28 2013: It is an idea on how to store energy from a wind turbine. A major issue with wind is how to store the energy.
I think that ultimately we will have to design cities to use wind energy. Since pumping water is about the best way to store energy the city needs to be designed to take advantage of this capability.

Interland First to offer Proven Software for Self Administration of Services on Microsoft Platform
Herndon, VA, November 20, 2003 - SWsoft, Inc., the leader in hosting automation and enterprise server software, today announced the release of Plesk 6.5 for Windows Server 2000 and 2003, a new addition to the Plesk Server Administration Web-hosting Software family and is immediately available through Interland.
Plesk 6.5 for Windows delivers the proven rock solid reputation demanded by professional hosting service providers (HSP) worldwide wrapped in the familiar interface already in use by tens of thousands of Linux server administrators everyday. Tiered Windows self-administration simplified by a nice looking, easy to use interface, brings a staple in Linux hosting automation to Windows Server administration.
Developed for easy setup and quick deployment of Microsoft web-hosting servers, Plesk 6.5 installs all applications necessary for managing the services offered by today's professional HSP including support for Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft.NET, a completely new interface for administration, new sub-domain setup and management, and additional Microsoft Server 2003 native programs for webserver administration.
"Our customers require solutions that simplify the management of Web hosting functions like provisioning/managing web hosting accounts, integrated email management, and integrated DNS management," said John Lally, director of product management for Interland. "Our team has worked extensively with SWsoft's development team on Plesk 6.5 to ensure this release is the first step toward creating a complete, integrated solution for both Windows and Linux servers, from the leading provider of web hosting automation solutions."
In addition to the feedback from beta users, Interland provided exceptional support in the testing of Plesk 6.5 for Windows. As the first adopter, Interland demonstrated the true meaning of partnership by committing significant resources to the launch by participating in the joint testing, integration, and development training of sales and support teams.
"With the acquisition of Plesk and Confixx in June of 2003, SWsoft became the license leader in the control panel market," said Joshua Beil, Tier 1 Research. "The release of Plesk 6.5 is quite timely and addresses the needs of its customers that are looking to leverage the enhanced scalability and security features found in Windows Server 2003."
The introduction of Plesk 6.5 further enhances SWsoft's position as the leader in Web-hosting software development and the number one provider of Web-hosting server administration software in the world. Plesk 6.5 addresses an additional 40% market size and marks SWsoft's inclusion into a $2 billion yearly market.
"Since its inception .NET has gained traction in the hosting marketplace increasing Windows popularity. Until now, there really has been no solid tiered self administration software for the Windows Platform", said Tim O'Rourke, VP of Business Development and Sales for SWsoft. "Our global customer base typically offers both 'Nix (Linux and FreeBSD) and Windows servers but lacked the single interface to manage both. SWsoft's Plesk furnishes just such an offering - and we're excited to be able to provide a Windows product to match our popular Linux program."
Plesk 6.5 is available beginning on November 20, 2003 and customers will be able to purchase the product license or lease the software license on a monthly basis from SWsoft's online store, direct sales group, channel resellers and Independent Software Vendors. Interland, a Plesk Platinum Channel Partner, is the first partner to offer Plesk 6.5. For more details, please go to www.interland.com/dedicated.

Frontgate Comfort Mat 178 185
Love this mat! We love this mat. It is comfortable and attractive. Far better than anything you could get at a big-box store. The only challenge we had is that the dual-color mat turned out to be just the darker color--perhaps the dye lot we received had folks who went nuts with the paint brush on the accent color. Frontgate did right by us and made the exchange at no cost to us. Always a great store with first-rate products. Pricey but you get what you pay for. September 23, 2014
Great quality--comfortable. Comfortable, well-made mats. I have 3' and 6' in tan, the former in front of the sink, the latter in front of the stove. They make an easy-to-maintain, nice addition to our wood-floored kitchen. I like the simple pattern. They are very comfortable, kind of like stepping onto a firmer memory foam cushion--nice treat when you're cooking or cleaning. I clean them with a spray of vinegar and essential oil. September 15, 2014
Color quality issue We bought the first 6' antique comfort mat over a year ago, LOVE it BEAUTIFUL and COMFORTABLE than any others we have ever bought. We end up order another 3 pieces a few weeks ago. It is still as comfortable as the first one BUT the coloring of the mat is POOR, It is just one simple color rather than the first one show the contrast color between the design pattern and the surrounding. We still waiting for the 4th one that we snet as gift to family member, Hope the Coloring has improved. September 12, 2014
Frontgate Comfort Mat These are the most beautiful floor mats I have seen. I looked everywhere and nothing could be found Do not let the price scare you away. They are worth every $. The comfort on your legs is amazing. I sometimes slightly trip when walking by the mat so that is the reason I only gave it 4 stars but would have bought these mats anyway. September 10, 2014
FRONTGATE COMFORT MAT LIKE THE EDGING,PREVENTS CURLING AS MY OLD ONE DID. THE COLOR TAN IS GREAT IN MY KITCHEN HOWEVER I WISH IT COULD HAVE MORE WIDTH. LENGTH IS GOOD. THE DESIGN IS PRETTY BUT IS HARD TO KEEP CLEAN. IT SEEMS TO ATTRACT THE DIRT AND NEEDS DAILY MOPPING. COMFORT WHEN STANDING FOR LONG PERIODS COOKING FOR A MEAL. September 3, 2014
Fabulous comfort mats!! I ordered 2 of the comfort mats, one in each size, for my kitchen. They are fabulous!! Not only are they beautiful, but the comfort they provide is outstanding. I placed the shorter one in front of the frig, and the longer one in front of my sinks and dishwasher. They protect my wood floor, stay in place, and clean up is a breeze. These are the best kitchen mats I've ever tried. Truly a great investment. And they are so pretty. The pictures don't do them justice. July 16, 2014
Perfect Exactly what I was looking for, comfort, great design,easy to clean and does not move around, stays in place. September 1, 2014
Comfortable, stays in place, doesn't stain I previously had another company's mat that showed dirt in one standing, smelled like rubber and was not beveled which resulted in frequent episodes of tripping. After one washing, the top fabric lifted from the rubber bottom. This mat has none of those issues whatsoever...no rubber odor, stays in place, no rolling of the edges, no tripping over the raised edges as there are none, hides spills and scuffs and cleans easily with a sponge, soap and water. It is attractive as well. I had a back surgery that left me with some weakness in one leg so I have to be acutely aware of mats with edges that could cause me to trip and fall. As a Physician, I can attest that if you have elderly parents who may be using a walker or wheelchair or who may have foot drop that it appears to me that this may be a safer choice than most. I have learned my lesson that having a light colored mat with a cloth top on a hardwood kitchen floor and a 115 lb. adopted Doberman and my clumsiness was a recipe for disaster. This mat is an excellent solution to my problems. February 14, 2014

Answer:I would think that one could place this mat in a bathroom. However, if the room becomes steamy, the steam may condense on the surface of the mat as it is not porous. I cannot say for certainty that this might make the surface slippery. I have hardwoods in my kitchen and bathrooms, so I also cannot attest as to how it reacts to being placed on a slick surface such as tile or marble. It definitely has a more rustic look than one may want in a bathroom, but then again, it is all individual preference. It is the best mat that I have ever owned to date.

Good Thursday. After 6"-9" of snow widespread around the Tennessee Valley, our Thursday will de dedicated to lots of melting and clearing out.
Temps this morning are in the low 30s. While we may have patchy areas of ice, the main threat will be slushy roads and heavy, wet snow causing power lines and tree limbs to fall.
The low that brought the snow is now in the northeast. As high pressure builds in behind, we will have sunshine and highs in the mid 40s this afternoon. This means some rapid melting, and lots of water draining off through the day.
Let's get rid of as much as we can by tonight. Lows will drop into the upper 20s to start our Friday. Yet another front will move through Friday afternoon bringing scattered rain showers into Friday night. We may even briefly see it transition into mixed precipitation. Late Friday night into Saturday morning, we will clear out once again, and have great weather for the weekend.
Saturday look for a high of only 43, but Sunday will sport sunshine and a high of 52.
Next week we will have periods of rain, and temps climbing into the low 60s!

Mirth Control: Contraception Is a Laughing Matter
An excerpt from Finding the Doorbell: Sexual Satisfaction for the Long Haul
The Sunny Side of the Snip
Regardless of their universal reluctance, many men become big proponents of vasectomy once they are through it. One strong, silent type who never talks about intimate details admits, "It's not uncommon for me to go on vasectomy crusades now."
One upside is that you are required to go on an ejaculation mission after the snip. Considering that you have endangered your manhood for the sake of the relationship, and that after the first week, you are under doctor's orders to "release the hostages" often, you likely will get a good spell of action. Having sex 15 times in two weeks is a tall order for anyone, let alone a married couple with kids, so don't expect quite that bonanza. Be creative with your leverage though, like the man who struck this bargain with his wife: "We made a deal. I do half and she does half." Another father of two said, "I was too embarrassed to wait for us to have sex that many times before I brought in my sample, plus I was eager to fly without a ticket, so I took matters into my own hands … a lot."
When you test clean, of course, you will have a freedom you've not known since before shaving. It's important to have a serious team huddle on any permanent solution because the guilt potential is not the kind of burden one partner should have to carry. You can try to get vasectomies reversed and tubes untied but there's no guarantee the ammo and the egg factories can be reactivated.

RECIPE # 5022 - OVEN FRIED CHICKEN W/PORK RIND CRUST - June 14, 2013
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 pieces)
1 1/2 c finely crushed pork rinds (1 bag, 3 ¾ ounce, will make about 2 crushed cups)
1 1/2 c panko bread crumbs
1 t seasoned salt
Black pepper, to taste
2 eggs, beaten
2 T mayonnaise
2 T water
Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the chicken breast halves crosswise into about 1 1/2 inch wide strips. Combine the pork rind crumbs with the panko bread crumbs, seasoned salt, and black pepper in a wide shallow bowl. Blend well with your fingers. Whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, and water in a separate bowl. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg mixture and then the crumbs. Place the coated pieces on a greased, rimmed baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. The internal temperature of the chicken should be at least 160 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.

text: DULUTH, MN (KDAL) - Ramped-up law enforcement this St. Patrick's Day weekend might be focused on catching impaired drivers, but area police and sheriff's deputies will bring a renewed focus on speeders starting Monday. All area law enforcement and the Minnesota State Patrol will have extra personnel on the lookout for lead-foots next week in a campaign aimed at reducing traffic fatalities and dangerous driving habits. Enforcement officials say that when a driver's speed increases, so does the chance for a violent crash. They remind people that the minimal time gained while speeding could have life-long consequences.

This Manicure Monday goes out to my friend (in real life) @chrisards. She tweeted me an inspiration pic (a Sephora ad) at the exact moment I was trying to come up with ideas for this week's mani. My nail polish collection is so vast (ridiculous) that I'm usually prepared for any mani I dream up, but would you believe I didn't have a crème yellow or a crème pink? I have a ton of pinks, but they are all shimmers. After a quick trip to my local Sally Beauty Supply, I was ready to paint.
To get this yellow mani with pink French tips, I used two coats of Orly's yellow crème in Spark and China Glaze's pink crème in Make An Entrance. Allow the yellow to dry completely – I waited about an hour before adding the pink. To get the tips just right, I used Perfect Tips manicure stickers by Nailene and finished everything off with a coat of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.
What do you think of this manicure? Is this something you would try? Also, what do you think of my JewelMint mosaic ring?

Special Issue: The Informal Sector in South Asia
Traditionally, it was assumed that the informal sector, having considerable presence in the economies of the developing world, would gradually shrink with industrialisation and modernisation. But contemporary evidence proves otherwise. Empirical literature suggests that the informal sector is thriving along with the modernisation process. As such, understanding the nature and role of the informal sector in the development process of the developing world assumes importance. This special issue attempts to address some of the issues associated with the sector, with contemporary evidence from South Asia.

Punching Down - Episode 19
Could anything be more fun than getting kettled and cuffed by the cops for allegedly messing with a railroad? How about the SFPD busting into an urban commune (where you were charging your phone), and pointing a so-called less lethal shotgun at your face? If you happen to be a journalist, that's where the fun sort of ends, actually, in part because it's kind of difficult to report the news when your hands are zip tied and you're sitting in the sheriff bus. This week we're delighted to have as our guest independent journalist Steve Rhodes who describes in detail these true stories about getting arrested while reporting. For those that don't already know Steve, he's often seen covering the news in the Bay Area, including the spectacular April 1 takeover of an abandoned building in San Francisco by Occupy SF, and the forceful eviction by the cops the next day. Besides his two arrests, Steve also talks about the path that's led him to become one of the region's essential sources for real-time information and images.
Punching Down - Episode 18This week's offerings:Fan mail. Our loyal leader (listener+reader=leader) Joe Scales appoints himself editor of the Punching Down Fan Mail segment, to which he's also a contributor. How does one actually create a Punching Down podcast, Joe wonders. We talk about our vintage-futuristic Podcast Machine and why we're constantly yelling at it.Occupy! This time, Justin doesn't get chased. Rather, he does the chasing - of 2 cops! A batch of OPD emails from Jan. 28, sprinkled with references to reporters' tweets and livestreams. A brief taste of what Occupy SF and other activists might do April 1. No #newsdesert here, only the most delicious #newsdessert money can buy.Twitter bugs, like the one that made us unfollow you.Tim's man-meat, delicately sliced. Our favorite semi-regular guest shares the next chapter in the story about his vasectomy.Punch. As always, copious amounts of punch.
Punching Down - Episode 17 This week we're thrilled to bring you a very special installment of Punching Down - The Brock Keeling Story! Here's how it goes: Once upon a time, there was a kid from Orange County named Brock who loved to surf and skate. Then one day found himself in a Bay Area bar where he met Eve Batey, although he has no memory of the encounter. Regardless, this led him to becoming editor of the beloved local blog, SFist. Somewhere along the way, Brock mastered the art of web-logging. His secret? "Just vomit onto the screen." Also, sleeping in the nude. Eventually, he kicked the morning coffee habit and got into food writing. But after the Great SF Food Truck Bubble of '13 burst and all the bloggers lost their jobs, Brock turned to making porn, starring certain members of the SF Board of Supervisors. Today, Brock is working on his latest project, in which he's hoping to cast former SF mayor Gavin Newsom. "I bet [Newsom] has a big dick," he says. We're currently soliciting possible titles for said project, so please leave your suggestions in the comments.
Punching Down - Episode 16 After the world is destroyed in a nuclear war, will there be any hope left for journalism education? If anyone has the answer, it's radio reporter, podcaster and dad Eric Klein who joins us this week to share his experiences working at the ever-troubled KPFA-FM in the Bay Area, and how those experiences contrast with his current volunteer work at Free Geek in Portland.
Punching Down - Episode 15 What is the fundamental unit of journalism? Is it a particle or a wave? And what does Operation Thunderdome mean for the future of news? This week, we're back inside a glass box inside the main branch of the San Francisco Public Library to discuss these questions, and we're joined by special guest and loyal listener George Kelly, an online coordinator working for the Contra Costa Times. Besides talking about some of the digital tools he likes (Twitter, Cover It Live), does not like (Storify) and seems neutral about (Facebook), George reflects on his career as an online journalist. He also explains why he's skipping that thing in Austin, Texas. Eve, meanwhile, would like you to give us a candid photo of someone drinking their morning coffee while reading a newspaper other than the fucking New York Times. Please send your pic to email@example.com and maybe we'll publish it on the Tumblr! You can find George Kelly online in various places including allaboutgeorge.com, notherethere.com and @allaboutgeorge on Twitter.
Thanks, George!!

Punching Down - Episode 8
We start our ninth (we know!!) podcast with another Justin Gets Chased! segment, except this time, the Muni fare inspector that Justin ran from decided not to give chase. Weak, Muni. Weak!
Then, in a discussion about the murky business of anonymous sources, Eve talks about her struggle over whether or not to wait on publishing a story about unconfirmed allegations that SF sheriff-elect Ross Mirkarimi physically abused his wife.
In possibly one of the best gross-out moments of the Punching Down podcast, special guest Tim shares an anecdote about the time his dog rolled on a foam rubber rectum.
And, speaking of discarded sex toys, we congratulate former Chronicle editor Phil Bronstein for successfully escaping from the struggling legacy newspaper.
Show notes:
2:29 - Justin could've been chased, but he wasn't!
8:10 - Eve could've beat Matier and Ross, but she didn't!
26:33 - RSS feeds: full or truncated?
45:46 - The best time Tim's dog rolled on a foam rubber rectum
47:43 - Congrats to Phil Bronstein!
Punching Down - Episode 0
Welcome to Punching Down, a podcast and some accompanying notes on media from Justin Beck and Eve Batey.
In Episode 0 we talk about some upsetting changes to Google Reader, the origins of the Punching Down podcast, a recent instance of punching down by some Bay Area journalists on Twitter, and word clouds.
So, grab your morning coffee (oh you'll need it!) and enjoy the show.
