Feel free to add your software/website here if it makes use of Lucene. Please do not add your website if it uses Lucene merely indirectly, e.g. if you make use of a blog publishing system which in turn uses Lucene. We reserve the right to remove links where it isn't visible that Lucene is used, so consider adding a text like "powered by Lucene" to your search result page.
Note to spammers: don't bother adding your site here, we're using the appropriate meta tags so search engines will ignore the links anyway. Also note, if you don't at least provide some hint at how you use Lucene (i.e. by mentioning the word for instance), your link will be treated as spam. For example: Site Foo uses Lucene to provide search and highlighting.

On July 9, 2008, the Senate passed H.R. 6331, the "Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008," by unanimous consent. Earlier in the day, a cloture vote passed by 69-30, which cleared the way for final approval. The bill is identical to the bill that passed the House on June 24, 2008. The President has indicated that he will veto the bill. However, the margin of the votes in the House and the Senate has been characterized as "veto proof."
A general description of the bill may be found in Legislative Bulletin 110-29.
H.R. 6331 contains the following provisions of interest to SSA:
Eliminating Barriers to Medicare Savings Programs Enrollment
• Requires SSA to provide applicants for Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) with information about Medicare Savings Programs (MSP) assistance, including information about how to contact the State health insurance assistance program (SHIP).
• Requires SSA (with the consent of those filing) to transmit LIS application data to the States. Once received, the LIS data would serve as a protective filing for MSP, with State agencies being required to complete appropriate MSP development and make eligibility determinations. The content, form, and manner in which information (on a uniform basis for all States) shall be transmitted would be determined by the Commissioner, in consultation with HHS and the States. Effective January 1, 2010.
• Requires SSA to provide MSP training to employees currently involved in LIS application-taking, so that those employees can promote beneficiary awareness of MSP, thereby increasing MSP participation.
• Provides start-up funding of $24.1 million to SSA for activities related to MSP outreach and transmittal of data to states. Funds would be appropriated as of October 1, 2008, and remain available until expended. Ongoing funding for MSP-related activities would be provided, beginning with fiscal year 2011, through a separate ongoing appropriation of $3 million annually to HHS. HHS would provide this funding to SSA via a reimbursable agreement, and the funds would only be available to HHS for this specific purpose.
• Provides funding of $24.8 million to SSA for LIS activities required due to changes in MSP and LIS programs. Funds would be appropriated as of October 1, 2008, and remain available until expended.
Exemption From Income and Resources for Determination of Eligibility for Low-Income Subsidy
• Eliminates counting in-kind support and maintenance as income and life insurance as a resource for LIS purposes. Effective for applications filed on or after January 1, 2010.
Judicial Review of Decisions of the Commissioner of Social Security Under the Low-Income Subsidy Program
• Codifies SSA's existing policy that denied LIS applicants can appeal to the civil courts, once the administrative appeals process is exhausted. Effective as if enacted with the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003.
Translation of Standardized Medicare Savings Programs Application
• Requires HHS to translate their model MSP application into at least the 10 languages (other than English) most often used by Medicare applicants, and to make the translated forms available at Social Security offices. Effective January 1, 2010.
• Extends the Qualifying Individual (QI) program through December 2009 (QI is one of the Medicare Savings Programs). Additional funding of $200 million would be provided through December 2008, with an additional $500 million for 2009.
• Applies the LIS standard resources test ($6,290 for an individual/$9,440 for a couple in 2008) to MSP. Effective January 1, 2010.
• Eliminates Part D late enrollment penalties for individuals who are eligible for LIS. Effective January 1, 2009.
• Clarifies that, in the event of a recipient's death, the State is not allowed to attempt recovery (through the recipient's estate) of costs associated with providing MSP assistance. Effective January 1, 2010.

Fluid Power/Motion Control Supplament Name Here understanding Gas Flow & Measurements To measure gas flows effectively, the volumetric flow rate must be converted to standard conditions for temperature and pressure. By Joe PanFalone, exair CorP. B oth gas and liquid flows can be measured in volumetric or mass flow rates. With noncompressible liquids, these measurements are nearly the same, sans the effects of temperature. With compressible gases, though, they are very different. Gases are composed of a large number of particles that behave like hard, spherical objects in a state of constant, random motion. They have no affinity for one another or the walls of their container. These particles (moles) move in a straight line until they collide with another particle or the walls of the container. Most of the volume of a gas is therefore empty space, which is why a gas is compressible. When measuring the flow of a compressible gas through a pipe, you are measuring volumetric flow. Unlike with noncompressible liquids, this measurement is of little value unless it is converted to mass flow, which is dictated by the pressure and temperature. The pressure of a gas results from collisions between the gas particles and the walls of the container. Each time a gas particle hits the wall, it exerts a force on the wall. The force or pressure is dependent on the frequency of collisions against the wall and the kinetic energy of the molecules. The speed at which the molecules travel is dependent on kinetic energy, which is determined by thermal energy. The warmer the molecules are, the more energy they have, and the faster they will travel. Any object in motion has a kinetic energy that is defined as half the product of its mass times its velocity squared: KE = 1/2 mv2 The average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas is proportional to the temperature of the gas. Because the mass of these particles is constant, they must move faster as the gas becomes warmer. If they move faster, the particles will exert a greater force on the container each time they hit the walls, increasing the pressure of the gas. Thus, in measuring gas flows, pressure and temperature need to be factored in and are calculated by the ideal gas law, stated as PV = nRT = NkT where: •V = volume in meters cubed •P = pressure measured in pascals •n = number of moles •R = universal gas constant (8.3145 J/mol K) •N = number of molecules •K = Boltzmann constant (1.38066 x 10-23 J/K = 8.617385 x 10-5 eV/K) •k = R/NA •NA = Avogadro's number (6.0221 x 1023 /mol) The second way to effect pressure is by compression, which reduces the volume. With a given volume at atmospheric pressure, there will be a definitive number of gas molecules. If the volume is decreased, you still have the same number of moles (mass), but, as described earlier, the zfrequency of collisions with the walls will increase, thus exhibiting a higher pressure. So it would be inaccurate to compare flow rates of unequal pressure and temperature. Thus, a common set of conditions is needed for measurements to allow comparisons to be made between different sets of data. ISO 2314,[24] and ISO 3977-2[2] established standard conditions to be 59F and 14.696psi. To measure gas flows effectively, the F6 f lui d po wer/ m o t i o n c o n t r o l / a s u p p l e m e n t t o d e s ign ne ws ja n u a ry 2013 volumetric flow rate has to be converted to standard conditions for temperature and pressure. Simply put, it is the volume the gas would occupy at atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi), and it is defined as standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM). To convert flow from cubic feet per minute (CFM) to SCFM, we use Qg = Q x P/14.7 where: •Qg = gas flow in SCFM •Q = volume flow rate in CFM •P = line pressure absolute (gage pressure +14.7) For example, let's convert gas flow expressed in CFM (CFM) to units of SCFM. Given: •Q = 20 CFM •P = 114.7 (100psi gauge reading +14.7) Then: •Qg = Q x P/14.7 •Q = 20 CFM x 114.7/14.7 •Q = 156 SCFM Flow meters used to measure gases usually are calibrated for readings at atmospheric pressure. When the flow is under pressure, the meters provide a chart of factors associated with various pressures to multiply against the visual reading. Finally, when measuring gas flow, since temperature and pressure need to be factored, consult the owner's manual for the flow meter. Flow meters used to measure gases usually are calibrated at standard temperature and pressure. When the flow is measured at conditions other than ST&P, the meters provide a chart of correction factors. Joe Panfalone is an applications engineer for Exair.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — At work, he calls her "Pastor Andrea," and she calls him "Pastor Jason."
At home, they do without the formal titles. They're just Andrea and Jason, husband and wife.
The Revs. Jason Peterson and Andrea Windsor-Peterson were recently installed as dual pastors of Advent Lutheran Church.
AUGUSTA, Ga. —�At work, he calls her "Pastor Andrea," and she calls him "Pastor Jason."
At home, they do without the formal titles. They're just Andrea and Jason, husband and wife.
The Revs. Jason Peterson and Andrea Windsor-Peterson were recently installed as dual pastors of Advent Lutheran Church.
The church of 300 on Washington Road in Augusta called the new pastors this spring.
"We're a team," Jason said. "We share a calling."
Together, they hope to work with the congregation to help it continue to grow as a welcoming, life-giving church.
"We want to help everyone to feel they belong and they have purpose in Jesus Christ," Andrea said. "All people are welcomed in this place."
The two met on the first day of class at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, on the steps of their dorm building. Three months later, they were engaged. They married two years after that, in 2002.
After working with separate congregations in South Carolina, they accepted a shared call to Memphis, Tenn., where they worked as "mission redevelopers," tasked with reviving a small congregation. They stayed for nine years.
They made the move to Augusta with their two children — Kate, 8, and Timmy, 7 — this summer. Jason's first day was April 28, the 50th anniversary of the church. Andrea stayed in Memphis for a few weeks, while the kids finished school. After three weeks in Augusta, she said, "I've learned just how generous people are. They're just so wonderful. I can't tell you what a joy it is to work with them and equip them.
"It's sort of a dream call."
The church was really just looking for one pastor.
"They looked to interview one candidate, but got two," Jason said. "There was a real excitement about it."
While they considered taking separate calls, it's easier, in some ways, to work together. The family is able to worship together on Sundays. There's no question about which church the children should attend. Both pastors get time away from preaching, which helps avoid burnout.
The church also benefits from two pastors.
"The gift is you have a choice," said Andrea. "You have two different perspectives on how to do something."
They have different passions in ministry, different styles of teaching and different communication styles.
"It's becoming a little bit more common, especially in the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America)," Jason said.
Each preaches two Sundays in a row before switching off. When one prepares the sermon, the other administers the sacraments.
"We have this joke that we're off duty and get to worship," Andrea said with a laugh.
They spend more time together than most married couples, Jason said. Sometimes it feels as though their marriage and family life are on display, even more so than the average pastor's, and that's OK, Andrea said.
"You are on display and it's humbling," she said. "If the people of God weren't so gracious, it wouldn't work."
A few years ago, they set some ground rules.
"We do have one rule," Andrea said. "We don't talk about our moms and the church in our bedroom."

2011 NBA Mock DraftPosted: June 22, 2011 Filed under: 2011 NBA Draft | Tags: 2011 NBA Draft, Alex Burks, Brandon Knight, Charles Jenkins, Chris Singleton, DeAndre Liggins, Derrick Williams, Duke, Enes Kanter, Florida, Georgia, Jan Vesley, Jeremy Hazell, Jimmer Fredette, Josh Selby, Kansas, Kawhi Leonard, Kemba Walker, Kentucky, Kyrie Irving, Marcus Morris, Markeiff Morris, Marshon Brooks, Nikolas Vucevic, Purdue, Richmond, San Diego State, Seton Hall, Texas, Tobias Harris, Tristan Thompson, UCLA, USA Leave a comment
With the NBA Draft just one day away, I figured I would take a go at an NBA Mock Draft.
1. Cleveland Cavaliers: Kyrie Irving, PG, Duke: Kyrie Irving is the best prospect in this draft and has drawn comparisons to Chris Paul. While I don't think he will be that good, he will give the Cavs a face of their franchise and a future All Star.
2. Minnesota Timberwolves: Derrick Williams, SF/PF, Arizona: Derrick Williams is a versatile forward who could pair with Wesely Johnson, Kevin Love, and Michael Beasly to give them a very deep and young front-court.
3. Utah Jazz: Brandon Knight, PG, Kentucky: This is the popular pick right now and it makes sense. Knight is a phenomenal player with tons of potential and could replace Deron Williams.
4. Cleveland Cavaliers: Enes Kanter, PF/C, Kentucky: The Cavs are hoping that the Jazz pick Knight because that means that Kanter will be available here. He will give the Cavs a legitimate center to pair with J.J. Hickson.
5. Toronto Raptors: Jan Vesley, PF, Serbia: Vesley has an NBA body and his size would be a nice compliment to Bargaini in the front court. He could give the Raptors flexibility and skill in the front-court.
6. Washington Wizards: Kawhi Leonard, SF, San Diego State: Leonard is a versatile SF that can provide defense and energy as well as a good mid-range game.
7. Sacramento Kings: Kemba Walker, PG, Connecticut: Walker is the best leader in this draft and can pair with Tyreke Evans to give the Kings a talented back-court.
8. Detroit Pistons: Tristan Thompson, PF, Texas: Thompson is a tenacious rebounder that can pair with Greg Monroe in the Pistons front-court.
9. Charlotte Bobcats: Chris Singleton, SF, Florida State: Singleton is the best defensive wing in this draft and could replace Gerald Wallace at the SF spot.
10. Milwaukee Bucks: Alex Burks, SG, Colorado: Burks has a great offensive skill set that will pair nicely with Brandon Jennings.
11. Golden State Warriors: Klay Thompson, SG, Washington State: Thompson can shoot the ball from anywhere and has a great game going to the basket. Defense is not his strength, but who says the Warriors play defense.
12. Utah Jazz: Marcus Morris, SF/PF, Kansas: Morris is a good faceup PF that can also play some SF. He has good range and is a decent rebounder/defender.
13. Phoenix Suns: Jimmer Fredette, PG/SG, BYU: Fredette can provide a nice scoring threat off the bench and will sell a lot of tickets while also being groomed as the PG of the future.
14. Houston Rockets: Jonas Valanciunas, PF/C, Lithuania: With the reports that Jonas will be able to come to the NBA in 2012, his stock could go back up but I think he lands in a good situation. The Rockets need to move on from Yao and Jonas has a great skill set, similar to Yao's.
15. Indiana Pacers: Markeiff Morris, PF, Kansas: Morris is a versatile PF who can step out and knock down jumpers as well as play with his back to the basket. He rebounds well and can also block a shot or two.

The 5-year experiment: A conversation with my anxious side, and how sharing time might be better than giving money
More posts about: delegation, experiment Tags: anxiety, safety, time, wild-success // 3 Comments »
(If you want, you can skip past the reflection on anxiety and safety and jump straight to the part on how you can help. =) )
Having resolved to learn how to work on my own things, I'm experimenting with reducing my consulting to one day a week (from last year's routine of two days a week). I spend most of the week reading, drawing, writing, experimenting, and coding.
2015.01.09 What do I do on my non-consulting days – index card
It's not a big change in terms of hours. I already have plenty of time for personal projects. But I feel the shift in the balance. I can hear that inner self-doubt saying, "Is this real work? Is it worthwhile? Is it sustainable? Are you undermining your safety by goofing off?"
2015.01.07 Real Work – index card
It's okay. I expected this resistance, this anxiety. It's just one of those mental barriers I have to break. Fortunately, all those Stoic philosophers are there to remind me that it's just a negative impression, not reality, and the truth is that I have nothing to fear.
I'm getting better at telling that anxious part of my mind: "Look. Even though I offer all those resources for free, people willingly pay for it. And other people write wonderful comments and send me e-mail telling me that I've inspired them to learn more and that they want to help, so that counts too. Yeah, there's a chance I might need to go back to Regular Work if the stock market crashes or a catastrophe happens, but in the meantime, just give this a chance. And really, that scenario isn't the end of the world. Other people do okay. I can too. Besides, that's why we have safety nets, right?"
2015.01.06 Planning my safety nets – index card
2015.01.06 Safe, a little better, comfortable – index card
And then my anxious side goes, "Okay, you've probably got the basics covered. But what if your expenses grow, or W- gets tired of living frugally and wants to upgrade lifestyles a little bit? Is this really enough?"
2015.01.06 Is this enough for me – index card
And then I say, "We'll probably have some time to adjust our plans for that, and I can always go back to doing Real Work that satisfies you. Besides, if we want to upgrade our life experiences, learning the skills to make stuff for ourselves often works out better than buying things. Like cooking!"
(It's true! It's even called the IKEA effect.)
Then my anxious side goes, "Fine. Maybe you have enough space to experiment right now. You want to learn things and help people. But look at your blog! It's so self-centred. You talk about your questions and reflections, and you rarely give people tips they can directly apply to their lives."
Then I say, "I'll get better at writing for other people. In the meantime, this seems to be working okay so far. People translate my reflections into stuff that they can use."
Here's how I think my blog helps other people at the moment. Maybe you come across my blog because of a search. You find something that saves you a little time. You browse around a little and learn about things you didn't even think about searching for. Maybe you come back once in a while for more of those ideas. You bump into other topics you're curious about, and you explore. You might subscribe, even though you know I post practically every day. You skim the headlines for things that interest you, and you dive into stuff you like. Sometimes you might even feel moved to comment, e-mail, invest time, or even send some money.
2015.01.04 What kind of difference do I want to make, and for whom – index card
How people can help
My anxious side grumbles, "Okay. I'm not sure your blog counts as Real Work, but I'll grant that people seem to find some value in it. I'd feel better if you were more serious about building a business around it – if you could cover more of your expenses with this instead of consulting income or dividends."
To which I say, "You know, I'm not sure any amount of money would get you to the point of not worrying. Besides, it's good that you worry, because that helps keep us safe. This stream will grow as I figure out how to make things that are truly valuable to people. I bet you I can pull it off while still keeping the free/pay-what-you-want aspect, because that's important to me. Given that you tend to squirrel away additional money to build up safety instead of getting better at investing it to build up capabilities, what we really should be thinking about is if we can make better exchanges of time instead of money. That will probably make a bigger difference anyway."
My anxious side is sufficiently boggled by that idea and can't come up with a good rejoinder. This is promising. Let me dig into it further, then.
One of the concepts I picked up from Your Money or Your Life (Dominguez and Robin, 1999) is that you can think of money in terms of the time it took you to earn it, a sobering thought when you apply it to your expenses.
I can apply that idea to other people, too; if other people pay money for something I made, it represents the chunk of their life that they spent earning it (and the opportunity cost of anything else they could've bought or invested in, including saving up for their own freedom).
I'm frugal (bordering on being a cheapskate), having gotten very good at making the most of inexpensive resources. Because of the typical mind fallacy, I tend to think that other people should be frugal as well so that they can save up for their own freedom. I suspect that people might get marginally more value from saving that money than I would get from them giving it to me, since their stress reduction or freedom expansion will likely outweigh my slightly increased feeling of safety. On the other hand, people do get value from feeling generous and from patronizing something that they would like to see flourish, so I can agree with that.
If we translate it back to time, though, I'm more comfortable with the exchange.
I already have enough time for the priorities in my life, while many people feel that they don't have enough time for the priorities in theirs. Adding more money to my life doesn't easily translate into additional or more effective time (aside from transcripts and tools, which I already budget for), while translating that money back into time might make more of a difference in other people's lives. So a direct swap doesn't make sense.
However, if we can exchange time in an apples-and-oranges sort of way, that might make sense. That is, if someone gives me 15 minutes of their time that translates to much more than 15 minutes of my time or might even be something I could not do on my own, that would be fantastic. This could be something that takes advantage of someone's:
- experience or particular mix of interests
- ideas, knowledge
- perspective (writing, coding, and all sorts of things can be improved with the perspective of someone who is not me)
- questions
- connections
Technically, delegation is supposed to help me translate money into time that is qualitatively different from my time, but my anxious side has not been very good at evaluating, trusting, or making the most of learning from people who know different things than I do.
Figuring out a way to effectively receive other people's gifts of time might be what I need to break through this barrier.
2015.01.04 Thinking in terms of an exchange of time – index card
In fact, receiving time might be more effective than receiving money. Not only could that get around my difficulty with finding and paying other people for the qualitatively different time that I want, but if we structure it right, people will gain from the time that they give. If someone asks me a good question that prompts me to learn, reflect on, or share something, we both gain. If they invest more time into experimenting with the ideas, we gain even more. I can't actually buy that on any of the freelancing or outsourcing marketplaces. There's no way for me to convert money into that kind of experience.
So, how can people can give me 15 minutes of time in a way that helps them and helps me? Let me think about different things I'm learning about:
2015.01.09 Time is greater than money – index card
2015.01.09 What am I learning more about, and how can people help – index card
It makes sense to organize this by interest instead of by action.
- Emacs: Ask a question, pass along a tip, share a workflow. Also, I really appreciate people showing up at Emacs Hangouts or being on Emacs Chats, because my anxious side is always firmly convinced that this will be the day when no one else shows up to a party or that conversation will be super-awkward.
- Coding in general: There are so many ways I want to improve in order to become a better programmer. I should set up continuous integration, write more tests, refactor my code, learn more frameworks and learn them more deeply, write more idiomatic code, improve performance and security, get better at designing… I find it difficult to pay someone to give me feedback and coach me through setting things up well (hard to evaluate people, anxious side balks at the price and argues we can figure things out on our own, good programmers have high rates), but this might be something we can swap. Or I could work on overriding my anxious side and just Go For It, because good habits and infrastructure pay off.
- Writing: Comments, questions, and links help a lot. A few of my posts have really benefited from people's feedback on the content and the structure of ideas, and I'd love to learn from more conversations like that. I don't worry a lot about typos or minor tweaks, so the kind of editing feedback I can easily get from freelancers doesn't satisfy me. I want to get better at writing for other people and organizing more complex thoughts into resources, so I could benefit a lot from feedback, questions, as well as advice on what to learn and in what order.
- Drawing: I'm not focused on drawing better (I can probably get away with stick figures for what I want to do!), but rather on being able to think more interesting thoughts. What would help with this? Hearing from people about which thoughts spark ideas in them, which ones I should flesh out further. Book recommendations and shared experiences would help too.
So: Paying for free/pay-what-you-want-resources is great at helping me tell my anxious side, "Look, people find this valuable," and that's much appreciated. But giving me time works too. If we can figure out how to do this well, that might be able to help me grow more (at least until I sort out a way to talk my anxious side into letting me invest more in capabilities). Shifting the balance towards time is probably going to make my anxious side more anxious, but I might be able to tell it to give me a year or two to experiment, which is coincidentally the rest of this 5-year span.
Wild success might look like:
- Thanks to people's gifts of time and attention, I'm learning and doing stuff that I couldn't do on my own or with the resources I could get in marketplaces
- Thanks to people's gifts of money (and maybe teaching), I've addressed more of my anxious side's concerns and am getting better at experimenting with the resources I can get in marketplaces
- I can incorporate people's feedback and revealed preferences in my prioritization so that I work on things that other people find valuable
I could use your help with this. =) Shall we figure it out together?

Hotpoint CS1A300H review£299.00
Product alert
Don't buy this freezer - it has a potentially unsafe plastic back.
Our fire tests have shown that this type of backing dramatically increases the spread of fire, as it offers inadequate protection to the flammable insulation that is used in all refrigeration appliances. We are therefore only recommending models with flame-retardant backing.
We've been told this freezer is being upgraded to have flame-retardant backing, so our Don't Buy recommendation relates to the plastic-backed version of this product that's still in shops.
If you already own this product, be reassured the risk of a refrigeration appliance causing a fire in the first place is low. The material used in the backing allows an existing fire to spread, but isn't the cause of fire itself.

�Transformers: Dark of the Moon� will not solve the world�s most pressing problems, but it does blow stuff up really well.
Its urban devastation knows no peer. Robots smash into each other with steely ferocity, and the humans � why, the humans do a fine job providing comic relief. And the product placement! The best I�ve seen in ages. As a movie based on a line of Hasbro toys, this beats out �G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra� by a long shot.
All in all: big fat brainless entertainment from director Michael Bay (and writer Ehren Kruger), who takes his trademark cinematic excess to bold new heights of distended self-parody. I mean lows. I mean, is there a difference in a movie like this?
Keep in mind, I happen to be one of three or four people in the English-speaking world who liked the last �Transformers� sequel and said so in print. Subtitled �Revenge of the Fallen,� it was widely derided as one of the worst cinematic efforts in the history of the art form. I regarded it instead as a loud and rather stupid battling-giant-robot movie, but one with a certain testosterone-drenched entertainment value. Ever since, I�ve been informed by irate readers that I am a bonehead.
Who knows, maybe I am. One�s opinions do evolve, so there may come a time when I start flaming myself anonymously for a 2-year-old review. In the meantime, �Dark of the Moon� is more of the same. Mounds and mounds more. It�s even longer, even louder, even more ridiculous, fries even more synapses, includes (by rough estimate) some 87,531 more explosions and was filmed in glorious 3-D. And nope, I�m not using �glorious� sarcastically. The effects are sensational; I�ve never had such fun watching puny humans get tossed around like bean sprouts.
The chief toss-ee is Shia LeBeouf as Sam Witwicky, the nattering man-boy who allied with the Autobots (good robots from the planet Cybertron) to save Earth from Decepticons (bad robots from etc., etc.) in the first two movies. He finds himself in similar circumstances once again, as colorful Transformers morph from race cars and semitrucks and office printers in the battle to claim the remnants of a lost Cybertronian technology that crashed on the dark side of the moon in the early 1960s. This very event sparked the U.S.-Soviet space race � bet you didn�t know that. Bay trots out the real Buzz Aldrin to prove it.
The historical revisionism is a new twist. So is the addition of several new cast members, including Patrick Dempsey as a smarmy car collector; John Malkovich as an eccentric corporate exec with no real point; Ken Jeong as a shrill (what else) office worker; and the voice of Leonard Nimoy as Sentinel Prime, the Autobots� metal-bearded eminence grise. (Sharp-eared nerds should pick out the nods to �Star Trek.�)
Sam�s arm candy is gone: out with Megan Fox, in with pouty British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Another newcomer is Shockwave, a burrowing Decepticon that looks like a Kraken crossed with a plumber�s snake crossed with Parallax from �Green Lantern.� He (it?) becomes more prominent as the film (ad?) progresses from the goofball quippery of the first 90-odd minutes to the deadly serious Battle: Chicago ruination of the last 55.
Bay provides his usual Bayisms: bloated close-ups, manly slo-mo, visual hyperbole and glamour shots of a hot babe standing amid the wreckage. Miraculously, she never breaks a heel or acquires a smudge on her pure white clothing. Some things never change.

Mitt hugs Ryan, not budget
Mitt Romney tied his political future Saturday to Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and staked his presidential ambitions on a man he called an "intellectual leader" of the Republican Party.
But that doesn't mean Romney wants to see his campaign defined, from top to bottom, by Ryan's signature ideas on the federal budget.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Romney and Ryan, BFFs)
Romney spokeswoman Sarah Pompei said Saturday that the candidate "applauds" Ryan's ideas, but intends to issue his own blueprint for reshaping the federal budget. After Romney's speech introducing Ryan, advisers said the former Massachusetts governor has no intention of being handcuffed to all the specifics of Ryan's plans — though he has said in the past that he'd sign Ryan's budget if passed by Congress.
"He has said it moves us in the right direction. He has said that if it's sent to him, he would sign it. And he has said that he will put forward his own plan," said one senior Romney adviser. "He is the presidential candidate."
( PHOTOS: Ryan through the years)
It's not clear whether Romney will address his differences of opinion with Ryan, whatever they may be, in any depth between now and Nov. 6, or whether he'll detail a debt-reduction proposal with the same degree of specificity as Ryan's. Romney evidently hopes to benefit from Ryan's brand as a fiscal warrior, without handing Democrats a gift-wrapped attack line to drive conservative-leaning senior citizens away from the GOP.
That may be easier said than done. Introducing Ryan in Norfolk, Va., Romney touted the Wisconsin lawmaker's fiscal expertise and vowed that he'd protect entitlement programs as president. He called for "bold, specific and achievable" fiscal policies, but did not mention Ryan's budget by name.
"He understands the fiscal challenges facing America: our exploding deficits and crushing debt and the fiscal catastrophe that awaits us if we don't change course," Romney said. "Unlike the current president, who has cut Medicare funding by $700 billion, we will preserve and protect Medicare and Social Security."
( PHOTOS: Paul Ryan hearts charts)
Until now, Romney hasn't actually campaigned on the details of Social Security and Medicare policy. He talks about out-of-control federal spending, including on entitlements, but his proposals on Social Security are limited to raising the retirement age slowly and means-testing benefit increases. On Medicare, the presumptive GOP nominee has outlined views that are similar to Ryan's — a premium support system that creates competition in the market for health care for seniors — but without some of the deep spending cuts that Ryan's overall program promises.
Ryan, for his part, has proposed different versions of a fiscal roadmap over the years, but a consistent feature is a voucher-like alternative to the traditional Medicare system (Ryan calls it "premium support") for some recipients. It also calls for private insurers to offer coverage options that are comparable, though not necessarily identical, to Medicare's, and could lead to higher costs for seniors who don't opt for less-expensive private plans.

The news is just out, the economy added a healthy number of new jobs last month, even with government jobs still declining thanks to austeridiocy. The better news is that there is an accelerating trend. The bad news, no help for the long-term unemployed and the charts are still scary.
True Story
This is a true story: I am on a bus from DC to NY. It's a great bus, nice seats, wifi… On the bus I'm checking and the jobs report comes out: U.S. adds 243K jobs in January; unemployment rate drops to 8.3%.
"You got to let me off the bus! I got a job!"
So passing through Baltimore this guy on the bus gets a phone call, goes up to the driver, saying, "You got to let me off the bus, I got a call, I got a job. You got to let me off the bus!"
So I guess maybe there's really something going on with jobs!
The Numbers
From the WaPo, U.S. adds 243K jobs in January; unemployment rate drops to 8.3%,
The nation's unemployment rate dropped for the fifth straight month to 8.3 percent, its lowest level in three years, the Labor Department reported Friday, with widespread hiring across the economy.
The number of jobs grew by 243,000, the government said.
Manufacturing Adds 50,000
Manufacturing added 50,000 jobs. AAM statement:
"The 50,000 manufacturing jobs added in January is impressive. January recorded the highest monthly gain in factory jobs since August 1998. The surge in job growth is a clear sign that American manufacturing can be competitive globally. I believe it is possible to keep this momentum going. President Obama is right to focus on an array of policies to boost domestic manufacturing jobs, and we need Congress to act. There is still a long way to go to get manufacturing jobs and output above pre-recession levels."
Still Bad For Long-Term
Still bad news for long-term unemployed, though:
But although the hiring was described as an encouraging sign by economists, there seemed to be little movement among the ranks of the long-term unemployed and discouraged workers. The number of long-term unemployed, people have who have been jobless for 27 weeks or more, was little changed at 5.5 million, the report said. They accounted for 42.9 percent of the unemployed.
The number of people employed part time because their hours had been cut back or because they couldn't find full-time work also held steady in January, at 8.2 million.
Moreover, the number of people the Labor Department classifies as "marginally attached" to the economy held steady at about 2.8 million.
Statement by CAF's Bob Borosage:
"Austerity continues to impede the recovery. Government employment was flat last month, but state and local governments project more cuts. Austerity in Europe is driving the EU and the United Kingdom into recession. U.S. exports will suffer accordingly, even without a Greek default or a financial calamity. U.S. government spending will be constricted by the budget deals."

Summary via Goodreads:
During the 1930s, a conflicted new wife seeks to reconcile her heart's ambitions with binding promises she has made
1935: Desdemona Hart Spaulding was an up-and-coming Boston artist when she married in haste and settled in the small, once-fashionable theater town of Cascade to provide a home for her dying father. Now Cascade is on the short list to be flooded to provide water for Boston, and Dez's discontent is complicated by her growing attraction to a fellow artist. When tragic events unfold, Dez is forced to make difficult choices. Must she keep her promises? Is it morally possible to set herself free?
Cascade is an interesting, well-told look at the life of a woman artist from 1934-1947. It's a glimpse into America of that era, a nation that is changing in many ways.
It is about a small town, and the need to escape that life. It's about big choices, and the big choices other people make, and the ones you think you can change, and the ones you have no influence over.
It is about all kinds of people. The main thing they have in common is that they have strengths and they have flaws. All were interesting and real, although Dez's husband Asa was a little too close to a stereotypical man of his time. Most of the others went outside that mold in ways good and bad.
This book was suggested to me as a romance, but I don't think that's where I'd put it. This is historical fiction, and the story of a woman. Her life is shaped by love, although I'd say that love for her father is an even stronger force than the romantic love she also deals with for part of the book.
The other thing that I didn't expect coming into this book was the look into what it means to be an artist. Getting Dez's way of seeing the world, seeing what she saw as the difference between her commercial work and her "real" work, and seeing some of how the art scene functioned, all of these were interesting to me. I also enjoyed the variety of Shakespearean ties woven into the story.
This was a book that kept me reading, more for the people and places than plot, but I really wanted to know more, so overall, I'd call the book a success.

Date: Aug 05, 2011
Press Release Number: 50-2011
Faced with three unprecedented challenges at once – (1) a historic economic recession that has sharply decreased revenue below projections, (2) steep increases in post-9/11 security costs, which have nearly tripled, and the overall cost of the WTC rebuilding, and (3) the need for the largest overhaul of facilities in the agency's 90-year history – the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey today proposed a two-phase toll and fare increase to fully fund a new $33 billion ten-year capital plan, which will generate 167,000 jobs.
The proposal comes only after the Port Authority initiated an aggressive cost-cutting plan started in 2008 to manage its resources as the impact of the economic recession became clear: cutting $5 billion in capital projects and deferring billions more; holding operating expenses at zero-growth for three consecutive years; and cutting agency headcount to the lowest levels in 40 years – an 11 percent reduction of non-police staff in the last five years.
The Port Authority does not receive tax revenue, making its toll and fare structure the primary way to fund the region's critical interstate transportation network. At this point, after a multiyear effort to control spending in recognition of declining capital capacity, failure to act risks 240 critical infrastructure projects and thousands of jobs, and will prevent the overhaul of the agency's aging facilities.
The factors leading to the agency's financial position include:
The new 10-year capital plan would deliver significant economic benefits to the region, including the generation of 167,000 jobs, $38.4 billion in sales, and $9.7 billion in wages within the 17-county New York-New Jersey Port District.
The agency's proposed toll structure, which would be adjusted in September 2011 and in 2014, focuses the greatest increase on cash users and trucks that cause the most traffic congestion and wear and tear. In addition, the agency proposes raising the PATH fare in September 2011, while fully preserving PATH's deep discount for multi-trip users.
Projects contingent on the proposed toll/fare plan include:
The Port Authority also plans to direct 100 percent of the revenue from the proposed PATH fare increase back into the PATH system to complete projects that will replace 340 PATH cars, replace the 100-year-old signal system and duct bank network, upgrade PATH security with tunnel hardening and flood mitigation measures, and rehabilitate the system's aging stations, including new 10-car platforms.
To fund these major transportation and security projects, the Port Authority's toll/fare proposal calls for:
Before the Board of Commissioners considers a final toll/fare plan at a Board meeting on August 19, the agency has announced a public hearing schedule on August 16 with nine total hearings across both states, which will be held at the following times and places:
