She has re-dedicated her life to Christ and I have this study (a black one) bible and believe it or not I chose it because of the color, knowing the content would be the same. Wrong!! I didn't know there were Holy Bibles that did not have red lettering! Now I don't know what to do! I spent alot of money (for me) on this gift and now I don't want her to use it since I think the red lettering is invaluable. So DISSAPOINTED!!

the fall of 2001, a group of Emory scholars and senior administrative leaders
were charged with investigating the conditions of research at Emory and
recommending ways to strengthen its support. Accordingly, the Commission
on Research engaged in a thorough self-examination of practices, resources,
and support at Emory, while also considering peer universities and the role
of research universities overall.
Over the course of the next months, the recommendations in this report will serve as a valuable starting point for planning Emory's future. Clearly, scholars represent a wide variety of cultures. Understanding these differences and considering alternative strategies to target scholars across the university will make a major contribution to Emory's future.
As noted in these pages, faculty members are stretched and pulled in many directions, increasingly so in our information-technology-driven world. Nevertheless, scholars and administrators have a responsibility to the intellectual community from which we all draw creativity and energy. To the countless individuals who have contributed to the commission, either by attending meetings or sharing feedback, we express our sincere gratitude.

Chair, Commission on Research

Hey Xsanitians,
I'm looking for some advice on reconfiguring our Xsan storage setup.
We currently have a Vtrak E class with 16 2TB drives and another VTrak E class with 16 1TB drives with an attached J Class with 16 1TB drives.
We are looking to configure these to serve up a single Xsan volume that will be used for almost exclusively HD video content (students will be using Final Cut Pro X).
When configuring a new volume for HD video with Xsan admin it is recommended to use LUNs in multiples of 4 (in fact if you don't then the Xsan configuration 'wizard' tells you that "For best performance, use multiples of 4 LUNs in each affinity that it used for data")
Looking through the documentation ([url]http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1200/url) I don't see a way to configure the available VTraks to have a number of LUNs that is a multiple of 4. Should I just go with [url]http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1160/url) for the 16 2TB Vtrak and [url]http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1163/url for the second VTrak and it's expansion chassis?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as it is not often I get to work on Xsan configurations and I'm definitely feeling a bit rusty!!
Sorry for my bad english!!
Here's my question!
it's not the first time i encounter this error.
After one month of work something goes wrong and the XSAN Volume let disappear files created and copied inside
after this strange situation i'm trying to copy files from the XSAN to another backup disk but during copy finder start hangs so i need to restart the mdc and mdc backup server
Stopping Volume making a sudo cvfsck -j command and fsck -nv to check the integrity and finding some issue about metadata journal i use cvfsck -wv to repair xsan and i saw disappear from my volume a big list of files and data about 2TB
after repair appears a list of files and folders
with FOUND.0x……..
After this commad my Open Directory master stop working
do you know how i can recover lost files?
and fix this error
I have an iscsi Volume created with ATTO Xtend San latest version Server 10.8.5
I know XSAN is now part of the OS, but I really bunged up the config files of one of my XSAN clients running Mavericks. I used to be able to uninstall XSAN and reinstall and add the client back in. Can't do that now. I think I know the answer to this (re-install the OS) but how can I re-install just XSAN?
I've got a Sanbox 9100 with (5) SB9004 - 4/2/1G blades in it and have run out of ports. I'm having a hard time sourcing out 4/2/1G blades but can come up with 8/4/2G SB9008 blades pretty easily. Anyone know if its kosher to pop those newer blades in to the 9100? I'm assuming it will work fine and that any ports I connect that have 8G at both ends will utilize it and it downscales otherwise???
I'm looking for a ActiveRaid main chassis (with or without drives) or expansions chassis to replace an Expansion chassis that is giving me trouble. I'm also looking for some spare Active raid controllers.
We are a post-production company based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
This something wholly unsupported but we're playing around with it anyway for experimental reason. If anyone has a thoughts I would love to hear it.
We have a lab / sand box system using commodity storage. Specifically it's a FreeNAS server. We are using it as an iSCSI target and have setup a series of zvols as device extents. On the client side we have Mac pro's, we use one physical port for the iSCSI network, the other port is virutalized with a connection to our public network and metadata network. We are using globalsan client side to connect to the iSCSI storage. We labeled the LUNs, XSAN let us use them to create a SAN.
So my question, one of the things were playing with is resizing volumes and adjusting storage on the fly (or at least with a restart). So lets say I re-size my zvols on my iSCSI side (which I did) which should create a larger volume on the XSAN side, but it doesn't. The volume stays the same size. So how would I tell XSAN that my LUNs (and subsequently my volume) should be larger?
Yes, this is like crossing the streams with our proton packs. It's just a fun thought experiment about using low cost hardware to take advantage of FCPX's SAN Location benefits in low cost labs.
I am wondering how many setups out there have 6 switches in the fibre stack?
I am again seeing a build out with 6 switches in the stack, and in the past i have seen huge issues with latency
so wanted feedback on users that have had success with that many switches?
I know a 9000 series is the smart way to go.
Had some serious funkiness with our SAN volume. Lots of inode issues. I ran cvfsck -j, then -nv, then -wv, which seems to have cleaned up all the errors. After trying to start the volume again, it immediately went into a RPL_upgrade process. A couple times, that failed near the end (fsm process crashed), then the volume would fail over to the other MDC and start the who RPL process again. I saw a "completed" message at least three times now, but the volumes will still not mount correctly. Both MDCs have their fsm processes running in standby mode now, though the volume appears to be started and hosted by the master in Xsan Admin. Mounting the volume anywhere just causes another crash.
After running cvadmin activate on the master MDC, it eventually tells me:
Admin Tap Connection to FSM failed
This also kicks off another round of RPL upgrades.
I'm hoping I don't have to completely restore our backup, because that'll take days… Any suggestions great appreciated. Thank you!
I have these problem. The Xsan display incorrect lun size. As you can see the Disk Utility app shows the correct configuration, but the Xsan admin displays one LUN of 20TB (I dont where it came from) and another 42TB (XsanLUN1).
I think it has to show 2 LUNS of 20TB each acording to Disk Utility app shows.
The drive began experience read write problems and I think it would be parte of these problem.
Can you help me?
Did anybody else notice these news?
QLogic's save-the-biz pitch: Ditch the switch glitch - get rich
Server adapter firm to focus on, er, server adapters...http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/30/qlogic_shrinks_to_grow/
We've had three Qlogic 5800-switches "bricked" in under a year at work, running firmware 220.127.116.11. Two of them because of a power failure, and one of them simply didn't want to turn on again after turning it off. But isn't a power failure simmilar to turning it off? I know there is a shutdown command in the command line interface, but this is very well hidden in some old manuals for the SANbox switches. We have always simply cut the power to turn off Qlogic 5600/5800 switches, without issues, and suddenly this year three 5800 switches die when cutting the power. Not good.
Anybody else had issues with 5800-switches going into "brick mode" with the heartbeat LED constantly lit? Pushing the maintenance mode button doesn't help. It just tries to reload, and then it's stuck again.
The 5600-swtiches we have, have been running solid since 2006 though, without any serious issues.
Time to move on I guess.

SHAMEFUL: Fury over UK soldiers investigated after performing Nazi-style salute in Helmand
MPs' anger that gesture could be dismissed as 'Loyalist tribute'
Picture believed to have been taken at an Army base in Helmand Province
It shows serving British soldiers two of which are giving Nazi-style salutes
They are standing in front of a Union Flag and the flag of Northern Ireland,
'Invicta Loyal' is the name of a Glasgow Rangers supporters' club in Kent
MoD spokesman says the two soldiers seen saluting 'have been spoken to'
By MARK NICOL, NICK CRAVEN and ANDY BEAVEN
PUBLISHED: 22:02, 26 October 2013 | UPDATED: 23:32, 26 October 2013
In an image which will cause widespread outrage, two serving British soldiers appear to give Nazi-style salutes while standing to attention in front of the Union Flag.
Apparently taken at an Army base in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, the photograph will provoke international disgust as Remembrance Day approaches.
Last night the Ministry of Defence told The Mail on Sunday that both soldiers have been investigated by Army chiefs. A spokesman said: The two people doing the salute in the photo have been spoken to.
Shocking: These two soldiers making Nazi-style salutes in front of the Union Flag have been investigated by Army chiefs
'This sort of behaviour has no place in the Armed Forces. We take such matters seriously.
MPs and ex-military leaders condemned the troops behaviour.
John Mann, chairman of the Commons All Party Group Against Anti-Semitism said: This is an insult to the memory of those who gave their lives to stop the Nazis.
Al-Qaeda fighters imprison 60 Syrians, take over court and bribe people with free food and petrol as they try to turn the country into an Islamic state
A new front line: Moving photographs of the wounded warriors adjusting to life at home, marked by the horrors of war
These idiots need to be re-educated and they should be sent to visit Auschwitz and see what happened there and witness the evil which so many people fought to stop.
So many thousands of people died for this country and the last thing we want is their memory being tarnished by a couple of idiots in uniform.
As Remembrance Sunday approaches, the MoD should send these guys around the country to clean war memorials.
The Ministry of Defence yesterday confirmed that the men in the photograph were genuine soldiers.
The photograph also shows the flag of Northern Ireland, while the Union Flag is inscribed with Invicta Loyal the name of a Glasgow Rangers supporters club, based in Kent.
Insult: In another picture published online the soldiers hold guns but their faces are obscured. 'Invicta Loyal' is the name of a Glasgow Rangers supporters' club in Kent
There is a suggestion that the gesture may be a Red Hand of Ulster salute, a gesture once used by Rangers football fans to show allegiance with Northern Irish Loyalists.
But Mr Mann, the MP for Bassetlaw, added: Whether they call it a Red Hand salute or whatever makes absolutely no difference this is one of the most offensive gestures they could make in the modern world.
Jeffrey Donaldson MP of the Democratic Unionist Party said: Anyone who would imitate a Nazi salute in front of the Union Flag or wearing the uniform dishonours these flags and the British Army.
Any symbolism associated with fascism has no place in the Unionist tradition or any regiment of the British Army.
'We do not know to which regiment these soldiers belong but the Royal Irish Regiment, with which I am associated, has a proud record of fighting fascism.
Fellow Democratic Unionist MP Sammy Wilson added: This is not a salute made by marching bands [in Northern Ireland]. It is not clear what the context is but I do not think it can be explained away as some type of Red Hand of Ulster salute.
The Ministry of Defence said the men had been subjected to administrative action a process of investigation with possible punishment if the personnel are found to have breached Army regulations.
Soldiers are allowed to belong to political parties, but are banned from political marches and demonstrations, and are expected to abide by Army values.
Outrage: John Mann (left), chairman of the Commons' All Party Group Against Anti-Semitism and Jeffrey Donaldson MP (right) of the Democratic Unionist Party are among those to voice their disgust
In another photograph published elsewhere on the internet, a group of soldiers are seen bedecked in the sashes and other regalia of the Orange Order.
Many of the pages on the Invicta Loyal website display open sectarian hatred, while it also includes loyalist songs such as The Billy Boys now banned at Rangers ground, Ibrox which includes the lines: Were up to our knees in Fenian Blood /Surrender or youll die.
The website also has photographs from a social event held by Invicta Loyal members where a gents toilet displayed a notice inviting supporters to P*** on a Papist as pictures of the Pope, Gerry Adams and IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands were stuck to the urinal.
Last month soldiers at a Rangers match as part of Armed Forces Day were accused of joining in sectarian singing. Troops who had been parading on the Ibrox pitch were seen to break ranks, and one soldier was allegedly photographed with a Keep Ulster Protestant scarf.
The incident was reported to the police and a file was also sent to Army chiefs.
Rangers fans were investigated by UEFA in 2007 when some made straight-armed salutes during a match against an Israeli team in Tel Aviv.
European footballs governing body was satisfied by Rangers explanation that the fans were making Red Hand of Ulster salutes but the club warned fans not to repeat the gesture.
Some experts, however, dismiss the idea that such a tradition exists.
Historian Ian S Wood, who has studied Ulster Loyalism for decades, said: Ive never seen or heard of anything called a red hand salute.
An MoD statement on the matter said at the time: Any personnel found to have fallen short of the Armed Forces values and standards will be dealt with by the chain of command and, if necessary, by the police.
So far there has been no announcement of disciplinary action against any of the troops and no charges brought by police.
John McMillan, former general secretary of the Rangers Supporters Association last night warned against one-arm salutes.
He said: It is something that fans should really avoid doing as it can be misinterpreted as a Nazi symbol and offend people. I do not think it is something we should be associated with and I do not think the club would welcome it.
I am quite sure it was not meant to be a Nazi salute. I have not seen fans making the Red Hand of Ulster salute myself, but I would advise against anyone doing it because of how it could be viewed by others.
Drew Roberton of the Rangers Supporters Associations agreed that such salutes were ill-advised.
He said: In this day and age people must be mindful of the gestures they make. Regardless of what their own opinion is, it doesnt necessarily fit with the wider view.
The Red Hand of Ulster salute is ill-advised. People have compared it to the Nazi salute and it could be misinterpreted as such it looks very similar so I would ask people to desist from doing it.
I am 100 per cent certain that the salute performed by these soldiers is not in any way showing support for the Nazis they are doing a Red Hand of Ulster salute. I am not surprised that they have done it but I would ask them to refrain from it.
But not everyone considered the soldiers transgression so seriously.
Belfast-born Iraq War commander Colonel Tim Collins, who led the 1st Battalion, the Royal Irish Regiment, said: These soldiers are behaving inappropriately in uniform but I wouldnt get too worried about soldiers behaving playfully.
If this is offensive then so is the First XV Rugby team not wearing regimental ties. This is beyond minor, it is a grain of sand and I do not think for a second that these soldiers should be removed from the British Army. Youd end someones career for having a laugh? How do people manage to be offended by so little?
A spokesman for the Royal British Legion, which launched its annual Poppy Appeal last week, said they could not comment on the incident as it was subject to Army discipline.
COMMENT: Im disgusted by this slur on memory of soldiers who died fighting the Nazis
By COL RICHARD KEMP (EX-COMMANDER UK FORCES AFGHANISTAN)
Condemnation: Col Richard Kemp
I took just one glance at this photograph today and felt utterly sickened. Whatever the reasons behind it, it looks awful and I condemn the behaviour of the soldiers involved.
All soldiers should know its abhorrent and offensive and even if done in jest will bring the British Army into disrepute.
I believe this is not the way most soldiers think and that this would be an isolated incident.
Clearly, British soldiers serving in Afghanistan face terrible dangers and even death and men find relief from the stress of fighting on the frontline in many ways.
But even if these men were doing just that, they have overstepped the mark.
Whenever they are wearing the uniform, they have a duty to remember how they must behave for they represent their colleagues, their regiment and the nation itself to the world.
Most of all they represent those who have fallen in battle in the past. The men in these photographs have stained with shame the honourable memory of those who came before them.
Their gesture is one that can never be defended or tolerated. Perhaps it wasnt meant as a Nazi salute it has been suggested it has some connection with Loyalists in Northern Ireland but their foolishness has left the image open to the worst interpretation.
These young men would do well to remember that tens of thousands of their forebears died fighting the Nazis in the Second World War.
That the picture has emerged so close to Remembrance Sunday is also regrettable as our thoughts turn to acknowledging the ultimate sacrifice of so many soldiers.
Sometimes soldiers do stupid things, it is in their nature, and in that regard they are the same as the rest of us.
All the same, for a soldier to make or pretend to make what might seem to be a Nazi salute in private, or in front of a small group of his colleagues, makes me feel very uneasy. The picture first emerged on the internet and so inevitably will be seen around the world arousing fury everywhere.
'These men and the Army must learn from this'
One of the problems faced by military commanders today, with regard to the conduct of their men, is the proliferation of camera phones.
Practically all their soldiers will possess these devices, and even though these are not supposed to be used or carried in Afghanistan, these rules are sometimes broken.
The worst images that can flash back from the frontline are of soldiers bodies but that is not to belittle what is going on here. There are those who would call for the soldiers immediate dismissal but despite my disgust at their behaviour, as a former commander I feel that they should be shown leniency.
What the soldiers did was stupid but not a heinous crime. However, they and the Army as a whole must learn from this appalling episode. This photo raises issues in the area of political neutrality. This neutrality is essential.
Where British troops serve they must be seen to be impartial and never to sway towards any political grouping on the Left or the Right or towards any cause such as Irish Nationalism or extremist Loyalism.
The image appears as we face potential prosecutions for British soldiers from Bloody Sunday and amid reports of alleged collusion between the security services in Northern Ireland and Loyalist terrorist groups.
These pictures will do nothing to quell these fears.

MySociety denies role in Blears sacking
Oh dear
"One of the individuals INSIDE mySociety is one James Cronin, who sits on the UK Citizens Online Democracy board of trustees. He is also a Civil Servant who works inside the Prime Ministers Strategy Unit."
Errrr.... no. You're confusing James Cronin with James Crabtree. Both are UCOD Trustees, but Cronin is one of Venda's founders and co-owner of the splendid Paul A Young chocolate stores, while Crabtree isn't.
And for anyone at UCOD to pass data on to the PM's office would be a breach of the Data Protection Act. So I'd hold on to those trebles, if I were you.
Oh dear oh dear
So this is the way that The Reg responds when, having repeated someone else's story without checking or adding anything new, they get caught out publishing something which is basically false?
The point of having professional journalists isn't so that you can just repeat a (false) story I can read somewhere else. If you can't be arsed to add anything original to a story - such as, for example, actually talking to someone from MySociety before repeated the Torygraph's rubbish - you might want to consider an alternative career.
Apple power brick sparks lawsuit
What's that burning smell? Oh, my Mag"safe".
@Phil Gomme: "What on earth are these people doing to induce "dangerously frays, sparks, and prematurely fails to work." failures?"
In my case, just using it normally - and rarely away from a desk. You can see the results at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ian-betteridge/435275376/
Basically, the first generation of MBPs and adaptors suffered from three connected problems, all of which contributed to the power cable close to the connector melting:
1. The cable was thin, and easily bent, which places stress on the internal wiring.
2. The sheath over the cable leading up to the connector was too short, which meant that the most-often bent part of it was very close to it.
3. The area where the connector plugs into was the hottest part of the laptop - and in the case of the first generation of MBP, that meant very hot indeed (it was far too hot to actually sit on a lap in use). The heat was inevitably conducted along the connector to the cable, which further softened the sheath, allowing it to bend more easily and making internal shorting more likely.
It's worth noting that Apple has actually addressed some of these issues. Newer Magsafe's have much longer additional sheathing, which means the most likely "bend point" is further away from the connector and thus much, much cooler. Newer MBP's also run cooler, which again contributes to a safer cable. It's still not a good design, but at least now it's less likely to burn a hole in your carpet.
@Richard Cartledge: So am I "blaming someone else" too? This design was poor - that's all there is to it.

Glen Moss is edging closer to a return to the Wellington Phoenix starting XI.
The All Whites goalkeeper's second spell at the Phoenix has been hampered by injuries, leaving him to watch from the bench.
Moss says he came through 90 minutes of a reserve game earlier this week and the majority of kicks went where they should so he's pretty happy.
Moss says his time out of the game has made him realise how much he's missed it.
He says he's as excited as an 18-year-old would be to play again.
Moss says he hopes to show coach Ricki Herbert he's ready to return to the starting line-up.
He says Herbert likes enthusiastic, energetic players and he thinks he can bring that to the squad.
Glen Moss is in Auckland with the Phoenix squad as they build-up to tomorrow night's A-League match against the Perth Glory at Eden Park.

tell me again how patriarchy doesn't mean that men believe they have access/inheritance to women's bodies?
I saw this post and broke out in tears. It should not be like this.
im so thankful i don't share the views as these sexist, ignorant men - it's a fucking disgrace, really
No words.
There needs to be a bar or club or something that when you walk in there's a rack of different color wristbands with words like "I looking for-"
- girls
- boys
- trans
- anyone
- no one
- friends
- etc
So that everyone would know who's looking for who.
"Hey that girl is cute. And her wristband says she's also looking for a girl. Sweet!"
"He's cute, but his wristband says girls. Oh well."
you are the future
I am biased against this because I used to be the smart kid but I do not find this to be funny at all. When I "finally" failed a test, all of my classmates except for my one best friend were making a huge deal out of it. They acted as though it was something unthinkable. They were looking at me as if I had grown another head. It made me feel like I wasn't allowed to get a bad grade. I had to be perfect, or else I was weird. In the end, I was so stressed because of the pressure I even considered commiting suicide. It wasn't pressure from my parents, they were okay with it. It was from my classmates who couldn't grasp the fact I was only human.
So please, I'm begging you, if you have this smart classmate and they fail a test, do NOT laugh at them, do NOT insult them, do NOT make a big deal out of it. We're all humans, we all make mistakes—don't take this entitlement away from us.

The Washington Post quoted the research director of the anti-immigrant Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) arguing that immigrants are a drain on public services without noting that the center's analysis on the issue has been criticized as flawed. A study by the libertarian Cato Institute found that immigrants are actually less likely to rely on public benefits than native-born Americans.
In an article examining the effect immigrants have on Social Security, the Post noted that many undocumented immigrants file tax returns and thus pay into the Social Security trust fund, even though they may never be able to access it themselves because they are legally unable to do so. As a counterpoint, the article then included the views of CIS' Steven Camarota:
But Steven Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports limits on immigration, said that America's immigrants are not young or fecund enough to shore up the system.
"If the immigrants all came at 20 and had seven or eight kids, you would see more of a difference," he said. The average immigrant arrives at age 30, and immigrant women have, on average, 2.1 children, according to the Pew Research Center.
Camarota added that immigrants tend to be poorer than native-born Americans and are therefore more reliant on a wide range of public services. "If you bring in a lot of immigrants who are paying into Social Security but then need all these other social programs -- well, then you're not helping the situation."
Analysts on both sides agree that increasing the number of highly skilled immigrants would shore up the system more than the Social Security Administration report accounts for, since high-skilled immigrants pay more taxes and spend more than low-skilled ones.
However, in a study released in February, the Cato Institute found that immigrants are less likely than native-born Americans to use public services:
[L]ow-income non-citizen immigrants, including adults and children, are generally less likely to receive public benefits than those who are native-born. Moreover, when non-citizen immigrants receive benefits, the value of benefits they receive is usually lower than the value of benefits received by those born in the United States. The combination of lower average utilization and smaller average benefits indicates that the overall cost of public benefits is substantially less for low-income non-citizen immigrants than for comparable native-born adults and children.
Cato also noted that while immigrants' earnings tend to be lower than Americans' when beginning their careers, that changes over time as they invest more in education and training: "[W]hile immigrants begin with lower earnings, their incomes improve as they remain in the United States for longer periods. As immigrants remain longer in the United States, their English proficiency and other job skills improve, which heightens their earning potential."
Fox News figures claimed the U.S. should emulate the United Kingdom by slashing funding to federal disability programs and changing eligibility requirements, despite the fact that U.S. eligibility requirements are already stringent, that the new U.K. benefits tests were largely overturned on appeal, and that research shows changes to disability programs in the U.K. will force thousands of individuals with disabilities into poverty.
From the March 30 edition of Fox News' Fox News Watch:
Loading the player reg...
This American Life host Ira Glass has been called out by the Center for Economic and Policy Research for citing data with "limited relevance to contemporary policy debates" to defend his misleading report on disability benefits.
Last week, Media Matters detailed how the report, which was also featured on the NPR programs Planet Money and All Things Considered, pushed a series of myths about Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI) -- a Social Security program that supports families that include children with disabilities -- over the program's growth rate, qualification challenges, and successes it has had in reducing poverty among children with disabilities. The report was quickly picked up by right-wing media outlets who used it to advance the false claim that increased disability benefits indicate fraud in the system.
Following harsh criticism that the report presented a false picture of disability programs Glass stood by the story, saying in a statement to the International Business Times that "our report on disability programs was fact checked line by line by an outside fact checker, in addition to fact checking by the reporter and her editors" and "[w]e know of no factual errors. We stand by the story."
Now, CEPR Senior Research Associate Shawn Fremstad has taken issue with Glass' defense of the report, writing that Glass is trying to defend his initial report by telling a story about SSI that has "limited relevance to contemporary policy debates":
Finally, Glass takes issue with an analysis that I did with Rebecca Vallas, one cited by Media Matters, showing that the recent rise in the number of children with severe disabilities receiving Supplemental Security benefits is largely due to economic factors. Glass says: "They [Media Matters] choose data from 2000-2009 to back up that claim.... As we point out in our reporting, when you look at a longer period of time -- at 30 years of economic data -- you see a different story."
But neither Glass nor Joffe-Walt say what that "different story" actually is. Vallas and I have focused -- for example in this paper for the National Academy of Social Insurance -- on the trends over roughly the last 15 years because Supplemental Security's eligibility standards for children have been stable since then (the figure below is from this paper). Before that SSA's eligibility standards for children were expanded (in 1990 by a conservative Supreme Court that ruled 7-2 that SSA's regulations were much stricter than the underlying federal law) and then pared back somewhat (by Congress in 1996 after the Gingrich Revolution). In telling the story of Supplemental Security today, the primary focus should be on trends from recent history that represent a mature, stable program. If reporters want to also tell the story of the implementation and early history of children's SSI, that's fine, but they should be clear it is a much different story that has limited relevance to contemporary policy debates. They should also go back and read this 1995 Forbes Media Critic piece, "Media Crusade Gone Haywire," detailing the role that dubious sources and anecdotes fed the last major round of media hysteria on this issue.
A misleading NPR report has become fodder for a right-wing media campaign to scapegoat federal disability benefits, despite the fact that the rise in disability claims can be attributed to the economic recession and demographic shifts, and that instances of fraud are minimal.
NPR reported that the rise in the number of federal disability beneficiaries was "startling" and claimed it was explained by unemployed workers with "squishy" claims of disability choosing to receive federal benefits rather than work. Right-wing media called the report "brilliant," and used it to further the myth that the increase in the number of individuals receiving disability benefits reveals fraud in the system.
Breitbart.com's Wynton Hall wrote that NPR's "eye-opening" piece uncovered a disability program "fraught with fraud." Fox Nation promoted the piece with the headline, "Every Month, 14 Million People Get a Disability Check from the Government..." The National Review Online's blog called the piece "brilliant," while the Washington Examiner's editorial offered it as evidence that disability benefits provide "a voluntary life sentence to idle poverty." The Drudge Report linked to the NPR story and to the Breitbart.com article:
But as Media Matters previously noted, these reports failed to include crucial facts that explain the rise in disability benefits. The recent financial crisis and the rising rate of child poverty have made more children eligible to receive benefits through the Supplemental Security program, while the growth in the number of adults receiving benefits through Social Security Disability Insurance since the 1970s is largely explained by increases in the number of women qualifying for benefits. As the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities explained, as women have joined the workforce in greater numbers over the past few decades, more women are eligible for disability benefits, resulting in higher numbers of beneficiaries.
Furthermore, in a report published in March 2012, the Government Accountability Office found that improper payments of disability benefits are not a widespread problem, and accounted for less than four percent of total improper payments made by federal agencies in fiscal year 2011.
The Washington Post wrote editorials mentioning policies that would cut Social Security benefits more than editorials mentioning Social Security revenue increases by nearly six to one, according to a Nexis search of Post editorials since late 2010. This analysis was performed as Social Security becomes a major topic in the upcoming budget negotiations.
Fox News guest host Shannon Bream pushed the absurd notion that the fraud rate in federal disability benefits is 100 percent, claiming that 8.8 million people in the United States are collecting disability benefits "under false pretenses." In fact, 8.8 million is the total number of workers who received Social Security Disability Benefits in 2012.
Previewing an America Live segment on disability benefits fraud, Bream claimed, "There are reportedly 8.8 million people in the U.S. collecting disability benefits under false pretenses."
Fox has routinely pushed disability benefits myths, including the claim that it is "easy" to receive disability benefits and that the increase in disability benefits is due to "moochers."
In fact, the total number of workers who received disability benefits in 2012 was 8.8 million. Claiming that 8.8 million people fraudulently received disability benefits is tantamount to claiming that every disability payment to a worker in 2012 was fraudulent.
In a report published in March 2012, the Government Accountability Office found that improper payments of disability benefits are not a widespread problem. GAO noted that "[f]ederal agencies reported improper payment estimates totaling $115.3 billion in fiscal year 2011, a decrease of $5.3 billion from the revised prior year reported estimate of $120.6 billion. Based on the agencies' estimates, OMB estimated that improper payments comprised about 4.7 percent of the $2.5 trillion in fiscal year 2011 total spending for the agencies' related programs." Of that $115.3 billion, Medicaid payments accounted for $21.9 billion, Supplemental Security Income payments accounted for $4.6 billion, and Disability Insurance payments accounted for $4.5 billion.
Moreover, eligibility criteria for disability benefits are stringent, and more than half of all disability claims are denied. According to data from the Social Security Administration, only 34.8 percent of applicants were successfully awarded disability benefits in 2010, down from 56.1 percent a decade earlier.
From the January 29 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:

The decision by television news producers to rely on political guests and reporter-pundits in their coverage of the recent debt ceiling dispute not only pulled focus away from economic reality, it also gave TV media influencers room to reinforce a key falsehood about the nature of our deficits.
A Media Matters study of 273 cable news segments on the debt ceiling found 55 segments attributing deficits primarily to entitlement program spending, compared to just four segments acknowledging that rising health care costs and the economic collapse are to blame.
Economists are clear about the primary sources of recent deficits -- on top of the Bush tax cuts, the Great Recession triggered massively higher counter-cyclical spending, some of which was automatic for things like jobless benefits and food stamps, and some spending that was newly enacted to buoy a collapsing economy. Middle- and long-term deficit projections are more controversial, but many economists argue that once economic growth catches up to its potential, our fiscal health will depend almost entirely on our ability to control health care costs. This mainstream economist perspective appeared in just 1.4 percent of the debt ceiling segments Media Matters reviewed from a three week period, while over 20 percent of those segments blamed entitlements for the fiscal gloom.
CNBC, Fox News, and Fox Business viewers were far more likely to be told that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are dimming America's fiscal horizon than those who tuned into CNN or MSNBC for their debt ceiling coverage:
The tendency by the most conservative networks to focus on entitlement spending is telling in light of the right's claims about a struggle between "takers" and "makers." For conservative outlets and their mainstream enablers, each successive skirmish over spending and debt is an opportunity to re-focus the conversation on the supposed need to cut entitlement spending.
If economic experts were included in that cable news conversation, they could reveal some key data. For example, conservative proposals for Medicare would likely accelerate the growth of health care costs; minute changes to the payroll tax system could make Social Security solvent for 70 years; and "entitlement" programs spur economic growth for everyone.
In recent weeks, media outlets have focused heavily on negotiations regarding raising the debt ceiling. But television news has failed to highlight the pressing need for stronger economic growth. Furthermore, discussions about the debt ceiling often ignore facts about deficits, instead pivoting the focus to entitlements as a driver of deficits.
The right-wing media are claiming that the "liberal agenda" President Obama outlined in his second inaugural address is out of the mainstream, even though polling has shown that the majority of Americans agree with Obama's stances on marriage equality, sustainable energy, and other issues.
In a column for the The Wall Street Journal, Holman Jenkins claimed that unemployment insurance and Social Security disability payments encourage recipients to "leav[e] it to someone else to be productive," a claim that economic research and data prove incorrect.
According to Jenkins, "our massive expansion of unemployment and disability subsidies over the past four years" is discouraging the people who would otherwise build the technologies that "will save us from the Soylent Green solution to an aging society."
Conservatives arguing that these benefits make people lazy is nothing new, but their claims are still incorrect and unsupported by data. With disability payments, the argument is laughable on its face; people collect disability because they are unable to work. It is the disability, not the payments for it, that prevents these people from contributing to the labor supply. Social Security Administration data show the average disabled worker in the program receives less than $14,000 per year, $9,000 below the poverty line and an unlikely incentive for the malingerers Jenkins is looking to scapegoat. And as Media Matters has noted, the eligibility criteria for disability benefits programs are stringent, and the upward trend in the number of disability recipients dates to a Reagan-era liberalization of the program.
Jenkins is on similarly untenable ground when it comes to unemployment insurance. Conservatives frequently cite economist Larry Katz to argue that unemployment insurance begets unemployment -- but Katz himself has said that his work isn't applicable in today's economy. Other research also indicates that UI spending doesn't substantially increase unemployment. Meanwhile, the stimulative effect of unemployment insurance on the economy is well established. And since the Department of Labor data show the average UI recipient gets just $300 per week, before taxes, conservatives making this claim are saying that many Americans would rather live on less than $16,000 a year than work a shovel-- or in Jenkins' case, than build a robot.
Finally, if Jenkins is concerned about the amount of labor Americans are willing to supply, he need not be. Based on a monthly survey known as JOLTS -- the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey -- the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates the ratio of unemployed persons per job opening. The latest report found 3.3 unemployed Americans for every open job as of October. Even prior to the recession (shown with gray shading in BLS's chart below) the ratio was above 1.
Fox hyped the high number of people receiving federal disability benefit payments to push myths about the program and suggest many recipients are "moochers" and "takers." In fact, a majority of applicants are denied benefits, and experts agree the higher levels of disability recipients are a direct result of the recession and an increased number of women receiving benefits.
A Fox News guest falsely claimed that payments received by dependent children and divorced spouses of retired wage earners are bankrupting Social Security. In fact there is no major problem with Social Security's finances and the benefits Fox criticized make up a miniscule portion of the benefits Social Security pays out.
Despite evidence to the contrary, right-wing media have frequently questioned the financial health of Social Security. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that Social Security spending will not rise sharply in the future, only rising from 4.87 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2011 to 6.63 percent of GDP over the next 75 years. The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities noted that Social Security's shortfall over the next 75 years can be almost completely made up by simply allowing the tax cuts passed during the Bush administration to expire for the wealthiest Americans.
On Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy asked if payments received by dependent children and former spouses of retirees is "why [Social Security] could be going broke." Doocy called these payments part of a "great big gravy train." His guest, Michael Huffman of the Daily Caller, said that these payments are part of "what's wrong with Social Security," and added that these payments have "got to be contributing to bankrupting the system."
In fact, these old-age payments to dependent children and ex-spouses do not account for a sizable number of Social Security recipients or payments.
Ted Nugent called for the suspension of the right to vote for "any American who is on welfare" as part of his proposal to reduce federal budget deficits outlined in his latest Washington Times column.
The National Rifle Association board member also called for "slaughtering the three sacred entitlement cows" of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, and called for tax increases on "the nearly 50 percent of Americans who pay zero federal income taxes." Nugent wrote that these policies should be instituted "before taxes are raised on the producers, which will further choke the economy."
Nugent frequently attacks Americans who receive public assistance, whom he has termed "gluttonous, soulless pigs."
From Nugent's column:
The three sacred entitlement cows in the room that no politician wants to poke are Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. A blinding statement of the obvious is that we are never going to get our financial house in order until these sacred entitlement cows are not only poked, but slaughtered. Until the slaughter is over, everything else is just taxation window dressing.
In addition to slaughtering the three sacred entitlement cows that consume a vast majority of the federal budget (and I use the term budget generously), let's truly spread the pain around and raise taxes on everyone, including the nearly 50 percent of Americans who pay zero federal income taxes. Those Americans need to have some skin in the game, too. I recommend at least a 5 percent federal income tax bracket for them. The insane free ride needs to end. [...]
Let's also stop the insanity by suspending the right to vote of any American who is on welfare. Once they get off welfare and are self-sustaining, they get their right to vote restored. No American on welfare should have the right to vote for tax increases on those Americans who are working and paying taxes to support them. That's insane. [...]
It shouldn't take a Motown guitar slayer to come up with these common-sense bargaining chips before taxes are raised on the producers, which will further choke the economy. How about it, GOP?

Weapons of Mass Destruction:
Actions Needed to Track Budget Execution for Counterproliferation Programs and Better Align Resources with Combating WMD Strategy

Combating weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery is one of the greatest challenges the United States faces. Traditionally, the use of WMD--which include chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons--has been constrained by the logic of deterrence and of diplomacy, but these constraints may be of less utility in preventing the use of WMD by rogue states or terrorist groups. The Department of Defense (DOD) assigns top priority to dissuading, deterring, and defeating those who seek to harm the United States directly, especially extremist enemies with WMD. In 1994, Congress established an interagency committee, now known as the Counterproliferation Program Review Committee (CPRC), with a variety of duties related to coordinating the activities and programs of federal agencies that address improvements in the U.S. government's efforts to combat WMD. The Secretary of Defense, as chairman of the CPRC, is required to report its findings biennially. The Departments of Energy, State, and Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence are also members of the CPRC, and must provide it with access to information on all pertinent programs, projects, and activities. The Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear and Chemical and Biological Defense Programs, as chairman of the CPRC Standing Committee, compiles the report of the CPRC and submits it to Congress biennially. GAO has reported extensively in recent years on nonproliferation and consequence management - two of the three pillars of combating WMD. Our most recent report on the third pillar, counterproliferation, was issued in 2000. DOD defines counterproliferation as "those actions taken to defeat the threat and/or use of WMD against the United States, our military forces, friends, and allies." House Armed Services Committee Report 111-166 accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010, directed GAO to assess and report on DOD and interagency counterproliferation activities, including the extent to which (1) existing strategies for the combating WMD mission are effective and the strategic framework encompasses a common lexicon, (2) DOD has developed comprehensive plans that are integrated across combating WMD mission areas, and (3) counterproliferation programs and related funding support DOD plans and strategies. In response to discussions with your staff, this report focuses on the extent to which DOD counterproliferation programs and related funding support DOD plans and strategies.7 You asked us to focus on the third objective at this time, to inform Congress as it deliberates on the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011. We expect to issue our final report, which will address all three objectives, later this year.
Although DOD compiles a biennial list of programs "strongly related to combating WMD" and related costs, it cannot identify with precision what proportion of its resources are devoted specifically to counterproliferation. One of the key elements of an effective national strategy is identifying resources and investments necessary to execute that strategy. However, the CPRC report provides information on only budget requests; it does not provide any data on budget authority or actual outlays. In addition, visibility over how the department's resources support its counterproliferation strategies is limited, in part because those resources are not comprehensively aligned with gaps in counterproliferation capabilities identified by the Joint Staff based on inputs from the combatant commands and other DOD sources. Moreover, efforts across DOD to align resources with identified gaps in its ability to carry out its counterproliferation strategy have not been fully integrated into DOD's budget process. Although the 2009 CPRC report shows what mission areas the various programs/program elements are responsive to, it does not show what functional capability gaps they are designed to mitigate. As a result, the report does not present congressional decision makers with a clear portrait of how counter-WMD gaps translate into DOD funding priorities. We are recommending that DOD report actual appropriations and expenditures as well as budget requests related to counterproliferation in the CPRC report and that DOD align prioritized counterproliferation capability gaps with programs and resources.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD concurred with the recommended action. In response, beginning with its 2011 report, the Counterproliferation Program Review Committee (CPRC) began to show both appropriations and expenditures. DOD's actions address the intent of our recommendation.
Recommendation: To improve DOD's ability to track program execution for combating WMD programs as a whole, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear and Chemical and Biological Defense Programs, as Chairman of the CPRC Standing Committee, to show actual appropriations and expenditures as well as budget requests when reporting programs in the CPRC report.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD concurred with the recommendation. In response, beginning with its 2011 report, the Counterproliferation Program Review Committee (CPRC) has begun to link prioritized shortfalls to budget information. DOD's actions address the intent of our recommendation.
Recommendation: To improve DOD's ability to align resources with its combating WMD strategy, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear and Chemical and Biological Defense Programs, to more clearly relate prioritized capability gaps to programs and resources in the CPRC report or other appropriate forum.
