Neil Armstrong, X Prize and SPACE.com: A True 'Right Stuff' Moment

Editor's Note: Neil Armstrong, the first person ever to walk on the moon, died Saturday (Aug. 25), but the legacy of his "one small step" will live on in the history books. Here, SPACE.com science and technology writer Dave Brody recalls a particular moment with Armstrong from 2004, when the iconic astronaut was serving on the board of trustees of SPACE.com.

On the morning of Sept. 29, 2004,?Neil Armstrong was participating in an executive meeting of SPACE.com in?New York City as an investor and board?member. ?At the same time, 2,600 miles to the west, Scaled Composites was preparing to launch its SpaceShipOne in the first of two competitive flights to capture the Ansari X Prize.

We interrupted the meeting at 11 a.m. and invited the board members to watch the video feed from X Prize (a media partner of SPACE.com) under way in Mojave, Calif.

Neil was standing about 10 feet from our large plasma monitor when Scaled's WhiteKight carrier aircraft released SpaceShipOne at 10 minutes past the hour. Moments into the drop, pilot Mike Melville fired the hybrid rocket motor and pulled up sharply.

The motor was capable of providing 82 seconds of thrust. Less than a minute into that burn, however, Neil quickly strode toward the screen, watching closely. He'd caught something nobody else saw. "That's a pretty good roll ...," he said very, very quietly. ?Slowly, the rest of us began to notice the rocket motor's contrail had taken on a corkscrew shape over the track of the last 17 seconds of powered flight.

None of us yet knew what Neil Armstrong had already figured out: Up on SpaceShipOne, Mike Melville had cut the engine?s power early. Mike was running out of atmosphere in which to use the ship's aerodynamic controls to damp that dizzying roll. [Mike Melville Rolls in SpaceShipOne (Video)]

What we could not see and could not have known (except Neil) was that out there, climbing past 250,000 feet over the Mojave, Melville was doing battle with roll rates upward of 180 degrees per second. Neil knew Mike?s world was literally flipping upside down every 2-3 seconds, and that Melville would have to block out disorientation while brain-working his way through a shift from correcting with flight control surfaces (in atmosphere) to correcting with thrusters (in vacuum).

In true "Right Stuff" fashion, Melville let the rolling continue as he climbed. He even let it roll while he reconfigured SpaceShipOne to its feathered?"shuttlecock" re-entry mode. Then he methodically and minimally damped it out, knowing that the feathered surfaces could also play a stabilizing role. (Melville would later comment that the roll was "pretty cool.")

As the vehicle ? which would fly again the following week to claim the Ansari X Prize ? made its way back into breathable space, Neil turned to our group. "I had one like that on the X-15," he said.

Armstrong explained to us that in such vehicles, the pilot's manually flown angle of attack is extremely critical to preventing any lack of symmetry in the motor's thrust from turning into "mission-threatening" rolls; and it makes a big difference in maximizing the final altitude of the ballistic arc.

Back on April 20, 1962, during a test of the X-15 rocket plane? in many ways, the direct ancestor of SpaceShipOne ? Neil had literally skipped off the atmosphere. His flight track ballooned far to the south of its plan, sailing over Pasadena and northern Los Angeles, before he got his ship turned around and down onto the dry lakebed of Edwards Air Force Base. At 12.5 minutes, it would be the longest flight of that X-15 program.

With those memories near to him that day at SPACE.com, Neil Armstrong could not have been less jealous, or more complimentary, of Scaled Composites' pilots and engineers.

Neil has been called a "pilot's pilot" and "an engineer's engineer." ?For so many of us, has was so much more.

At Venice: Michael Shannon darkens 'Iceman' role

VENICE, Italy (AP) ? Michael Shannon is filmdom's newest Mafia hit man, playing a killer-for-hire who conceals the truth of his occupation from his picture-perfect suburban family in "The Iceman."

Israeli director Ariel Vroman says he fought for years to get Shannon into the role, fending off "more obvious choices."

Vroman said he wanted Shannon because "he comes with a darkness," explaining it was more effective to "make that darkness more refined" than to "bring someone who is very cheesy" and try to add it.

In the film, based on the real story of Richard Kuklinski, Shannon stars alongside Winona Ryder as his unsuspecting wife and Ray Liotta as the Mafia boss who recognizes hit-man potential. The film makes its world premiere Thursday in competition at the Venice Film Festival.

AMAZON: We're Sold Out Of The Kindle Fire - Business Insider

In a somewhat unusual press release Amazon announced that it sold out of its $200 tablet, the Kindle Fire.

In the release, CEO Jeff Bezos says, "Kindle Fire is sold out, but we have an exciting roadmap ahead?we will continue to offer our customers the best hardware, the best prices, the best customer service, the best cross-platform interoperability, and the best content ecosystem."

He appears to be saying Amazon will not make any more Kindle Fires, at least not the current model.

Amazon is hosting a special media event one week from today where it's expected to announce the next wave of Kindle Fires and e-readers. If Amazon is sold out of Fires, it would follow that the next tablets will be available for sale right away.

In Amazon's release it says it captured 22% of the tablet market in the U.S. over the last nine months. Its cheap tablet was appealing to people who didn't want to pay $400-$500 for the iPad. But Amazon now faces competition from Google with the Nexus 7, and Apple is reportedly going to release an iPad Mini which will compete with the Kindle Fire.

Amazon will have to make the next generation of the Kindle Fire significantly better if it wants to compete with Google and Apple.

Here's the full release:

Less than one year ago, Amazon introduced Kindle Fire?combining 15 years of innovation into a single, fully-integrated, end-to-end service for customers. Kindle Fire quickly became the most successful product launch in the history of Amazon.com, earning over 10,000 5-star customer reviews, and is the #1 best-selling product across the millions of items available on Amazon since its introduction 48 weeks ago. Today, Amazon announced that Kindle Fire is sold out, and that in just nine months, Kindle Fire has captured 22% of tablet sales in the U.S.

?We?re grateful to the millions of customers who have made Kindle Fire the most successful product launch in the history of Amazon,? said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com Founder and CEO. ?This has been a big year for digital products on Amazon?all of the top 10 sellers on Amazon.com since Kindle Fire launched just less than a year ago are digital products. Kindle Fire is sold out, but we have an exciting roadmap ahead?we will continue to offer our customers the best hardware, the best prices, the best customer service, the best cross-platform interoperability, and the best content ecosystem.?

Kindle Fire offers customers a vast selection of digital content?over 22 million movies, TV shows, apps, games, books, magazines and more?in one seamless, end-to-end experience, making it easy for customers to browse, discover and purchase. Since Kindle Fire launched last September, all of the top 10 products on Amazon?across all products?are digital products.

Fact Check: President Obama 'Gutted' Welfare Reform

Newt Gingrich, speaking alongside his wife, Callista, tonight in Tampa, revived the Romney camp's claims that the Obama administration had "gutted" welfare reform by offering waivers for states seeking more flexibility in meeting federal work requirements.

On Aug. 7, Romney released an ad claiming that "under Obama's plan, you wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train for a job. They just send you your welfare check."

But as Gingrich himself told CNN just two days later, "We have no proof today, but I would say to you under Obama's ideology it is absolutely true he would be comfortable sending a lot of people checks for doing nothing."

Tonight, Gingrich doubled down.

"Tragically, President Obama gutted this achievement and, like Jimmy Carter, over four years he produced little effective legislation that brought the two parties together," he said. "Waiving the work requirements in welfare reform is just one example of his direct repudiation of President Reagan's values."

The language from the memo in question, though, belies much of the Republican claim.

The Health and Human Services department "will only consider approving waivers relating to the work participation requirements that make changes intended to lead to more effective means of meeting the work goals of [the 1996 reform legislation]," it says.

In effect, the Obama administration has stated it would be willing to give states the option to propose more efficient ways to get welfare recipients back to work. Any such plan would require the state to increase the number of people moving from welfare to work by 20 percent.

Among the states to file for the waivers so far are Utah and Nevada. Both have Republican governors.

A decadent vegan recipe ? Gloucester Daily Times | The Daily Mile

Vegan: Somebody who does not eat any animal products; does not eat meat, fish, dairy products, eggs or honey.

I began educating myself in the vegan diet this past March when I received an email from Kathy in Methuen, a reader with two grown children who observes the vegan diet. Kathy stated it was always a challenge to come up with main dishes with good protein content, and desserts without eggs, and asked if I would consider exploring some vegan items in a ?vegan column.?Since that time I have researched the vegan diet to at least know the important basics and find some good recipes that I could offer Kathy and others who observe the vegan ?way of life.?

It was totally coincidental when my oldest son Mark told me he had been observing the vegan diet for the past four months, and at a young age of 37, states he feels ?totally energized.? When I asked him for any tips he might have on the subject, he said ?diversity, diversity, diversity!? To prevent boredom, prepare and eat many different vegetables, fruits, and pasta dishes. Mark also said he likes to make his own almond milk and provided me with the recipe below.

Regarding the Blackened Tofu recipe, this has gained popularity, and is a dish that many of us can enjoy. If you have never had tofu, this would be the dish to make, to try it for the first time. It is well seasoned and delicious.

The recipe came from ?Honga?s Pan-Asian Cuisine? by Honga Im Hopgood.

?Blackened Tofu is an original that was discovered by mistake when some tofu fell into a bowl of cornstarch. It has gained popularity and is a signature dish in my restaurant in which I take great pride,? Hopgood writes. ?To double this recipe, cook each batch of tofu separately or it won?t turn crisp.?

Blackened Tofu

Serves 2

Ingredients:

1/2

cup cornstarch

1 tablespoon black pepper

14 ounces tofu, well drained, patted dry, cut into

3/4

-inch cubes

1/4

cup canola oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon minced ginger

1/4

cup soy sauce or tamari

3 tablespoons honey (see below for substitute)

1 carrot, peeled and sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

1/2

cup diced bell peppers

1/2

cup sliced zucchini

1/2

cup snow peas

1/8

cup sliced celery

2 cups packed raw spinach

Mix cornstarch and black pepper together in a medium-size bowl. Dredge tofu in the cornstarch mixture.

Preheat a wok or cast-iron skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Drizzle the oil down the sides of the wok and allow a minute or two for it to get hot. Shake the excess cornstarch from the tofu and place the tofu into the hot oil. Saut? until the exterior of the tofu is hardened and crispy, and you hear the tofu ?clink? against the sides of the wok when stirring (approximately 2 minutes).

Add the garlic, ginger, and half of the soy sauce to tofu and stir. It will begin to steam.

Add remaining soy sauce, honey (or substitute), and vegetables,except spinach. Allow the vegetables to caramelize before stirring. When steam rises, stir the vegetables for approximately 2 more minutes.

Serve over a bed of raw spinach with rice.

Honey Substitute

1. Place 1?1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4

cup water into a bowl; stir until well combined, and sugar is dissolved.

Replace honey with equal amount of honey substitute.

Making almond milk

Almond milk is very popular with people who prefer not to drink dairy milk. Here is a recipe to make your own should you wish to do so.

This recipe is for anyone who wants milk that is free of antibiotics, adrenaline, and other harmful chemicals.

Almond Milk

Yields just over 1/2

gallon.

Soak 16 ounces natural almonds in water overnight. Being a live food, this transforms the almond from a carbohydrate to a protein and allows for easier digestion.

Put almonds in the blender and fill just over halfway with water. Some people like to add a handful of raw figs to sweeten the milk but others find the milk naturally sweet enough.

Blend thoroughly. If too thick, add more water. Look for a light, drinkable texture.

Some prefer to strain through a ?milk bag? to separate the pulp for other recipes, or a finer consistency, but this writer prefers the pulp version.

Tips for eating vegan

Protein is easy; choose five or more servings per day of protein-rich foods such as legumes, nuts, seeds, and soy foods. A serving is 1/2

cup of cooked beans, 2 tablespoons nut butter or chopped nuts, 1 cup soymilk, or 1 ounce of a meat analog.

Have a serving of a vitamin C-rich food at every meal. Choose melons, citrus fruits, pineapple, strawberries, kiwifruit, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, or potatoes. These foods give iron absorption a boost.

Eat lots of brightly colored vegetables ? leafy greens, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots and dark squashes.

Fortified soymilk and fruit juices are great sources of well-absorbed calcium. You can also get this nutrient from firm tofu made with calcium sulfate, leafy greens such as collards, kale and bok choy, and from cooked dried beans.

Check out rice pasta as an alternative to whole wheat pasta .

Wanted: Sri Lanka hangman

By Reuters

Sri Lanka on Tuesday began interviews for the post of hangman a year after two positions fell vacant, with at least 480 convicts on death row.

But it was not quite clear how the two successful candidates would fill their days - the death penalty has not been used in Sri Lanka, a predominantly Buddhist country, since 1976.

"About 176 applicants are there and interviews are going on today and tomorrow," Gamini Kulatunga, commissioner operations at the Prisons Department, told Reuters. "Only males will be eligible for the post."

The two posts fell vacant after one hangman was promoted and the other retired.

At least 480 people convicted of murder and drugs offenses could potentially be executed, Kulatunga said.

There has been an alarming rise in child abuse, rapes, murders, and drug trafficking since the 25-year war against Tamil Tiger separatists ended in May 2009, prompting some lawyers and politicians to push for the death penalty to be reintroduced.

Baby dies after being left in hot SUV; mom arrested

KRIS TV

Police arrested the mother of a 15-month-old baby who died in the back seat of a hot SUV in Corpus Christi, Texas.

By Melissa Schroeder, KRIS-TV

CORPUS CHRISTI,?Texas?-- Police arrested the mother of a 15-month-old baby who died after being left?in the back seat of a hot SUV on Wednesday afternoon.

Concepcion Rodriguez, 26, is charged with injury to a child after officers say she left the baby in the vehicle for nearly three hours after returning from a trip to a store, according to a statement from local police.

Neighbors say the child's name was Benny Jr.

Cornelio Reyna, a family friend, said, "He was a very happy little kid. He was always around with mommy and daddy and they always played around with him and stuff."

Devices can't save babies in hot cars, agency warns

Police say the mother returned from the store at 1 p.m. local time (2 p.m. ET) with her own children and others in her care. In total there were seven children in the SUV aged between three and seven.

Six children left the vehicle.

Read the full story at NBC station KRIS-TV

Detectives say when the father got home just before 4 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) he asked about the child ? and that when the parents realized he was still in the SUV.

Temperatures reached nearly 100 degrees outside, so inside the vehicle it was much hotter.

"I don't know how something like this could've happened, I really don't know," Reyna added.

Report: Boy, 4, dies after being left for hours in sweltering SUV

Neighbors said they would see the boy playing outside with his siblings.

Neighbor Melinda Moore said, "It's terrible. I just can't imagine that we're hearing this all the time and to have it just three houses down the street, I don't understand how it happens."

The Corpus Christi police statement added:

Police are carefully investigating this event to evaluate if criminal charges are appropriate.? Child Protective Services are evaluating the circumstances to determine the appropriate placement of the other children.

Corpus Christi Police urge parents and child caregivers to prevent hyperthermia in a few ways to avoid heat related injuries or death. Never leave a child alone in a vehicle and consistently leave all unattended vehicles locked. Create reminders and habits such as leave a purse, cell phone, or item you need at your next stop near the child.?

Is Global Warming Causing A Record Breaking Lack Of Tornado Activity?

A powerful tornado near Dimmitt, Texas on June...

?(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The year 2012 is breaking all-time records for lack of tornado activity, inviting the question whether global warming is causing a long-term decline in destructive extreme weather events.

According the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, only 12 tornadoes touched down in the United States during July 2012, shattering the previous July record low of 42 tornadoes recorded in 1960. Because radar technology in 1960 could not detect many of the smaller tornadoes that are detectable today, scientists believe the actual number of tornadoes that occurred in the previous record-low July 1960 was actually about 73. Accordingly, six times more tornadoes occurred in July 1960, the previous record-low year, than occurred in July 2012.

Similarly, less than 300 tornadoes were recorded in this year?s peak tornado season, which runs from mid-April through late-July. Approximately 850 tornadoes touch down during the peak season in an average year. Accordingly, three times more tornadoes occur during an average peak-tornado season than occurred in 2012.

Harold Brooks, a research meteorologist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory, says the lack of tornado activity is due to warm, dry weather in the American Midwest and a northerly tracking jet stream this year. These two factors have also reduced the number of strong thunderstorms that global warming alarmists claim are made more frequent and severe by global warming.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data show a long-term decline, at least since the mid-1970s, in strong tornadoes. This decline in strong tornadoes began precisely when global temperatures rebounded from a 30-year cooling spell.

Although strong tornado activity is declining in sync with the recent modest rise in global temperatures, global warming alarmists frequently assert that whenever one of the ever-less-frequent tornadoes occurs, global warming must be to blame. This is typical of the tactics of global warming alarmists, who rarely miss an opportunity to misrepresent scientific facts to further their political agenda.

After some tornadoes touched down in March of this year, for example, Brad Johnson of the leftist activist group Center for American Progress wrote an article tying the tornadoes to global warming. ?In the face of this warning, we must ask if our current path of increased pollution and decreased investment in public safety is the wisest course,? wrote Johnson.

Similarly, CNN meteorologist Alexandra Steele told viewers in April of this year that global warming was responsible for tornadoes that touched down in the Dallas area that month.

Tornadoes are becoming less frequent and less severe as our planet modestly warms. Yet global warming alarmists focus attention on the few tornadoes that still do occur and say that global warming is causing these increasingly rare tornadoes. The true question, however, is not whether global warming is causing more tornadoes, but whether the declining frequency and severity of tornadoes is being caused by global warming.

Big Bucks Abound in Online Gaming

With Blizzard Entertainment?s Diablo 3 PC game recently becoming the fastest selling PC game in history ? it sold 3.5 million copies in the first 24 hours ? the world of online gaming has changed yet again.? Blizzard included an interesting feature in Diablo 3, one that had never been done before in a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG): a real money auction house for in game goods.

Making Money from a Game

While Diablo?s online auction house may be the first of its kind, it does not signal the start of money making practices in these MMORPG?s, merely the legalization of the process.? In fact, it was another Blizzard game that really started the ball rolling.? World of Warcraft is still the most successful MMO out there.? It had a user base of 12 million active users in 2010 ? when it was at the peak of its powers ? and some of these users found ways to circumvent the strict in game auction system and make real money from playing the game.

Gold Farming refers to the practice of amassing in game gold and equipment that would later be sold for real money.? Individuals and companies sold this virtual money and equipment on various platforms and then transferred ownership in game.? As characters progress in WoW, they also collect items that are bound to that one character: items that are extremely rare.? As such, eventually, a large market in the sale of high level characters arose, with one character selling, back in 2007, for $5,000.? This capacity for making profit from playing online games has translated into other platforms since the WoW problems and Diablo?s real money auction house was seen as a way to crack down on the black market that had sprung up by offering greater control.

As it happens, Diablo 3?s market place has become a bit inflated as many gamers attempt to make more and more money from their goods.? Is it a good idea, however?? Blizzard take a cut of each sale made and coupled with a listing price of $1 per item, low cost items are actually going to lose you money, not make it.? Leaving the whole real money auction house to the professional gamers and bots.? All in all, the system has taken away the option of making money from the game on a small scale, leaving us all looking elsewhere for that online buck.

The rise and rise of Casual Gaming

One thing that has changed in recent years has been the demographic of a gamer.? Whereas the typical gamer of the 90?s and early 2000?s was a young man with questionable social skills and personal hygiene, Facebook gaming has opened this can of worms up to all.? Nowadays millions of subscribers play Facebook games such as Farmville or Mafia Wars ? who doesn?t have a Facebook inbox full of requests for assassinations or sheep or whatever the current fad is.? Top amongst these casual game platforms is Zynga, the developing house who?ve had their hand in nearly all the top Facebook games out there.? These games mainly make their money through advertisements, so there isn?t much in the way of opportunities for a gamer to make money but if you know a bit about coding, then there are options.

Flash games on Facebook and mobile games on Android and iOS have gained so much traction recently that if you can release something even moderately good, you can gain thousands of downloads quite quickly.? Developers are turning their attention to this medium as there is less pressure on the developer to produce a unique, intensive game world than with previous platforms.? Games can be thrown together fairly quickly and are dipped in and out of by users.? One of the most common types is freemium games: games which are free to download but offer a premium service for a fee.

Computer Manufacturing in the US Industry Market Research Report ...

Home ? Tablet PC ? Computer Manufacturing in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 14, 2012

The Computer Manufacturing industry is being rapidly supplanted by imports, above all from China. ?Even as import penetration in this industry stood at 50.7% in 2007, imports are expected to satisfy an estimated 68.6% of domestic plea in 2012,? says IBISWorld industry analyst Andrew Krabeepetcharat. As a result of offshoring by US-based companies and increased competition from international firms, domestic manufacturing activity has declined. Over the five years to 2012, industry revenue is expected to fall at an mean annual rate of 5.1% to $ 36.8 billion, including a drop of 11.1% in 2012 alone.

The industry?s woes cannot be blamed on a lack of plea. In fact, the share of US households that owns at least one computer increased by 7.5 percentage points from 2007 to 2012. Even as plea has grown, fierce competition and widespread product homogeneity (the result of computers being assembled from standardized components) have led to falling prices and profit margins. According to Krabeepetcharat, ?Computer and peripheral equipment prices fell from 2007 to 2012, and as a result, personal computer (PC) sales are estimated to generate razor-thin margins of 1.0% in 2012.? Fortunately, PCs are not the only products in this industry, and industry profit, which includes computers and more profitable products, is expected to account for 3.8% of revenue in 2012.

The Computer Manufacturing industry is highly concentrated, with the four largest companies scheming a vast majority of industry revenue. Major players have been exceptionally aggressive in acquisitions during the past five years, and IBISWorld expects further concentration of industry revenue in the future as these acquisitions continue. Currently, Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Dell are the largest US-based computer manufacturers. Competition from abroad has tightened profit margins and prices on mass-market computer systems. Consequently, most of the industry?s largest players operate in several related industries to diversify their revenue sources, with a particular emphasis on the highly profitable enterprise segment and Information Technology (IT) services. Distress for manufacturers arose from Apple?s introduction of a product that has cannibalized its own laptop market. The iPad, which sold three million units in just 80 days after launching in June 2010, proved tablet computing?s viability. Because of the rising plea for the iPad, other computer manufacturers have developed their own tablets, which are gaining popularity. IBISWorld expects the mobile computing segment of this industry will expand; but, tablets will cut into industry revenue in view of the fact that they are manufactured abroad and are a competing force to domestic computer manufacturing.

Even as the emergence of new products and services will boost industry routine, US manufacturers are not expected to produce the vital hardware. Major manufacturers make computers abroad to take advantage of lower labor expenditure and be close to semiconductor manufacturers, which produce essential computer components. As the level of standardization and fee competition increase, industry revenue and profit margins will continue to feel downward pressure. Consequently, IBISWorld projects that revenue will fall over the five years to 2017.

Domain Name Registration for Personal, Private Email Service | The ...

Online privacy concerns are become more and more of an issue with Internet use. With the increasing use of social media sites like facebook, twitter, linked-in, many people have focussed their online privacy concerns to these sites and forgotten privacy concerns with other types on online presence, like their email use.

Providers of free email service like gmail undeniably have a technically excellent product, at an unbeatable price, at least in terms of dollars paid by the end user for their service. The real price for the service however is your privacy.

Gmail has a practice called ?content extraction?, which is used on every email that goes through their system. ?If you?re using a gmail account, either directly or with forwarding, every email you send and receive through gmail is being analyzed for its content. ?If you?ve signed up with gmail, then you have agreed via their terms of service to allow this.

If however you have not signed up with gmail and send an email to a gmail address, your mail will also be subject to content extraction, and that is being done without your consent, and without notification to you that your email message content will be analyzed.

Spam Filtering

It?s fair to say that if your email provider is filtering your mail for spam, then they are analyzing the content of your email. ?The difference here however is retention. ?Content extraction is done with the goal of keeping the analysis data that is found, whereas spam filtering simply runs, provides a likelyhood rating of whether the email is spam or ham (valid email), and then deletes the information other than the rating value itself.

What to do?

Domain name registration for your own domain name and your own email address to the rescue! ?The best way to ensure that your mail is not analyzed. ?If you use email for business, we always recommend to our customers to use email addresses based on their business domain name. ?Email is a part of your online brand. ?Your own domain name registration, either for a personal domain name or a business domain name, along with email service from a provider that does not engage in content extraction?will ensure your email remains between you and your recipient. ?Unless the recipient is on a gmail address, of course!

France PM announces gasoline tax cut

PARIS (AP) ? France is to cut gasoline taxes to ease the pressure of rising prices on French households, the prime minister announced Wednesday, as the Socialist-led government attempts to quell rising concerns about the country's sluggish economy.

Jean-Marc Ayrault sought to rebuild public confidence as Paris ? like many other European capitals ? faces the challenge of reinvigorating the economy despite tight state finances. France's economic picture has worsened over the summer after several leading French companies announced layoffs and several economists have warned that the government's growth forecasts are too rosy.

Unveiling the tax cut after President Francois Hollande's first Cabinet meeting following France's traditional August holiday break, Ayrault sought to convey can-do optimism amid concerns that the troubles with unemployment, state debt and weak growth that are affecting Spain, Italy and Greece could soon ensnare France. Full details of the cut are expected next week.

"This is a sign of determination, but of confidence," Ayrault said in a statement in the presidential palace courtyard, referring to a string of economic measures. "It's especially to tell the French people: 'Even if we live in an uncertain world, even if Europe faces threats, even if the world scene is fragile, France has abilities ? we the French people have abilities ? and we are going to succeed.'"

France is the second-largest economy among the 17 countries that use the euro, with a gross domestic product of ?1.8 trillion ($2.24 trillion). However its economy has not grown in the past six months and it has a 10 percent unemployment rate.

Global markets and France's European partners will be watching next month as the government releases a budgetary plan to meet Hollande's pledge to bring the state deficit below 3 percent of gross domestic product next year, from a projected 4.5 percent this year. The Socialist government has yet to specify any spending cuts to bring this total down. Meanwhile, Hollande wants to bulk up the public sector ? such as by hiring 60,000 more teachers over his five-year term.

Ayrault said Wednesday that parliament would convene in a special session to take up legislation to create 150,000 jobs in vital industries and build 150,000 state housing units. The government also gave its final approval to a largely symbolic reduction in the salaries of both the president and prime minister by 30 percent ? an emblem of their message of social justice, that austerity isn't just about squeezing ordinary workers.

In the meantime, the government wants to help soften the squeeze of rising gas prices on consumers. Gasoline currently runs more than ?1.70 a liter in Paris (about $8 a gallon).

Speaking earlier on BFM-TV, Ayrault didn't provide details about the Socialist-led government's "unilateral" reduction in gasoline taxes, which he called small and temporary, or the potential impact on the budget.

"The government will do its job ? that's to say taking a step that will lower, notably on the tax level, the cost of fuel," he said. The measure "will allow us to ask (oil) producers and distributors to do their share too."

Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said details of the gasoline tax cut would come next week, after he receives a government report on the matter and holds talks with consumer and industry groups.

The government also announced plans to encourage the French to save more in tax-free bank accounts set up under a special state program. Funds from those accounts would support the construction of new public housing or making current buildings more environmentally efficient ? measures that could support small and mid-size companies in the construction sector.

"This is a first phase ... it's a very strong signal to savers," Moscovici told reporters at his ministry. The injection of new funds for the building sector is part of reforms ? along with the creation of a state investment bank and new planned legislation on the banking sector ? "that will contribute to financing the French economy."

In first joint interview, Romney defends Ryan?s Medicare plan, slams Obama

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan sat down with "Face the Nation" anchor Bob Schieffer in High Point, N.C., on Sunday?their first joint interview since Romney announced Ryan as his running mate.

In the interview, which aired Sunday on "60 Minutes," Romney addressed a Miami Herald headline that suggested Ryan's budget proposal?which would transform Medicare into a voucher system?"could hurt Romney in Florida" and, in turn, the GOP's chances in November.

"There's only one president that I know of in history that robbed Medicare," Romney said. "Seven-hundred-sixteen billion dollars to pay for a new risky program of his own that we call Obamacare."

[Related: After Sunday, Romney and Ryan won't appear together until the convention]

"What Paul Ryan and I have talked about is saving Medicare, is providing people greater choice in Medicare, making sure it's there for current seniors," Romney said. "No changes, by the way, for current seniors, or those nearing retirement. But looking for young people down the road and saying, 'We're going to give you a bigger choice.' In America, the nature of this country has been giving people more freedom, more choices. That's how we make Medicare work down the road."

"My mom is a Medicare senior in Florida," Ryan, seated to Romney's right, added. "Our point is we need to preserve their benefits, because the government made promises to them that they've organized their retirements around. In order to make sure we can do that, you must reform it for those of us who are younger. And we think these reforms are good reforms that have bipartisan origins. They started from the Clinton commission in the late '90s."

The former Massachusetts governor said he vetted a shortlist of possible vice presidential candidates, but made his final decision on the Wisconsin representative on Aug. 1.

[Related: How Romney picked Ryan for his VP and kept it a secret]

"I kept my mind open, but I was intrigued by Paul," Romney said. "We spent some time on the campaign trail. I got to meet his wife and three children and was very impressed."

"Paul could become?if it were necessary?could become president," Romney continued. "He has the experience and judgment, capacity and character to become president. And that was the first and most important criteria."

Ryan was asked what Romney told him when he asked him to be his running mate.

"He essentially said that we share the same values and that I have the kinds of experiences that complement his skills, that complement his experience to help him govern, to execute a vision to get this country back on the right track," Ryan said. "You know, to create jobs. To help people get back on the path in life. ... I said, 'Yes.'"

[Also read: One sign of Ryan's impact on Romney campaign: Big crowds]

Schieffer also asked Ryan, who is running for congressional re-election in Wisconsin while campaigning to be vice president, if he is hedging his bets by doing so.

"I already filed," Ryan said. "Our filing deadline was in June. I'm already on the ballot, so it has nothing to do with that."

Later in the interview, Ryan slammed what he called President Barack Obama's lack of leadership.

"President Obama is picking winners and losers based on connections, based on fads like Solyndra and basically giving handouts to businesses, giving preference to tax code," Ryan said. "We want to get Washington out of the business of picking winners and losers. We want entrepreneurs to have the barriers removed from in front of them, so that people can work hard and succeed."

KTTN-FM AND KGOZ-FM - Small businesses affected by agriculture ...

Small businesses in Missouri are now eligible for federal disaster assistance from the Small Business Administration because of the prolonged heat and drought.

Governor Nixon says businesses directly impacted by disaster, as well as businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers who have suffered losses, are eligible for low-interest loans.
The Economic Injury Disaster Loans from the SBA are available because of the statewide agricultural disaster declaration issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture at the Governor?s request.
?We?ve already taken extraordinary steps to help farmers and livestock producers who have suffered severe losses because of the heat and drought,? Nixon said in a press release. ?These loans through the SBA can help other businesses that also have been impacted directly by this disaster, or that depend on the farmers who have been hit hard.?
According to the SBA, small, nonfarm businesses; small agricultural cooperatives; small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, non-profit organizations of any size may qualify for loans of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met if the disaster had not occurred. The disaster declaration issued earlier this month by the USDA makes farmers and ranchers eligible for low-interest federal loans from the Farm Service Agency.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA?s secure Web site at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.
Disaster loan information and application forms are also available from SBA?s Customer Service Center by calling SBA toll-free at (800) 659-2955, emailing disastercustomerservice@sba.gov, or visiting SBA?s Web site at www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance. Hearing-impaired individuals may call (800) 877-8339.
The deadline to apply for these loans is March 18, 2013.

McIlroy up by 3 after 3 rounds of PGA Championship

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) ? In a year when no lead seems safe, Rory McIlroy will be the man trying to hold on in the season's final major.

McIlroy made back-to-back birdies late in the third round and finished with a 5-under 67, opening a three-shot advantage at the PGA Championship. Players returned to Kiawah Island's Ocean Course on Sunday morning after the third round was halted by rain late Saturday afternoon.

McIlroy, the 2011 U.S. Open champion, hasn't finished higher than 40th in a major this year, but he became the first player to open any significant distance on the field when he birdied the 15th and 16th holes. That was after he made five birdies on the front nine Saturday.

"I thought it was just a continuation of how I played yesterday afternoon," McIlroy said. "I struck the ball beautifully from tee to green ? same thing on Thursday, as well. Just one more round like that, and I'll be happy."

Immediately after the restart, Tiger Woods missed a 7-foot par putt to fall six strokes behind. He rebounded a bit on the back nine but still trailed by five after a third-round 74.

McIlroy was at 7-under 209, three strokes ahead of Carl Pettersson, who shot 72 in the third round. Adam Scott (70), Trevor Immelman (70) and Bo Van Pelt (67) were another shot back.

It was Scott who was in control at the British Open last month before bogeying the last four holes and losing to Ernie Els. None of the 54-hole leaders at the other three majors this year ? Scott at the British Open, Peter Hanson at the Masters, and Graeme McDowell and Jim Furyk at the U.S. Open ? have held on to win.

"Obviously to have a good round and try and win requires mental toughness," Scott said. "I think this afternoon as it comes down to the back nine, especially at this golf course, is going to require everyone's skill to be at their best."

Woods was at 2 under, along with Vijay Singh (74), Steve Stricker (67) and Hanson (70).

Play was suspended Saturday because of storms in the area, giving Woods all night to contemplate the crucial putt he'd face in the morning on No. 8. When he finally hit it, the ball rolled off the edge of the cup, dropping him to even par.

He rebounded with birdies on Nos. 11 and 13 but will have a lot to do in the final round if he hopes to win his 15th major championship and first since 2008.

"I got back in it," Woods said. "I was pretty far out of it there ? at one point I was six back. Clawed my way into it, so I've got a shot this afternoon."

Woods' second birdie came on the 13th hole, a tough par 4 that McIlroy, Immelman and Pettersson all bogeyed. Woods wasn't pleased with his drive on the par-4 15th. His club went sailing when he let go of it on the follow through, and the ball flew well to the right of the fairway, landing in a grassy, sandy area not too far from the beach.

He was able to recover, hitting a terrific shot to the green. He then came up limping for a few seconds before pulling what appeared to be some sort of prickly brush off the right leg of his pants.

Woods looked fine when he arrived at the green and two-putted for par.

Singh dropped back to 2 under with bogeys on Nos. 12 and 14 and a double bogey on 15.

With a number of players finishing the third round Sunday morning, the final round was to be played in threesomes off both tees later in the day, rare for a major championship. McIlroy planned to take a nap first.

"It'll be nice to get back into bed for an hour or so," he said. "I was just sort of treating this day like a 27-hole round. I'm happy to go back and get a bit to eat and rest up a little bit and just come back out there and get playing again."

It was the first time since 2008 that the PGA Championship didn't complete three rounds on Saturday. Some players had to go 36 holes on the final day that year, and Padraig Harrington wound up winning his second straight major.

Less Social Insurance, More Tax Cuts for the Wealthy

Matthew O'Brien:

Mitt Romney Would Pay 0.82 Percent in Taxes Under Paul Ryan's Plan, by Matthew O'Brien: Under Paul Ryan's plan, Mitt Romney wouldn't pay any taxes for the next ten years -- or any of the years after that. Now, do I know that that's true. Yes, I'm certain.

Well, maybe not quite nothing. In 2010 -- the only year we have seen a full return from him -- Romney would have paid an effective tax rate of around 0.82 percent under the Ryan plan, rather than the 13.9 percent he actually did. How would someone with more than $21 million in taxable income pay so little? Well, the vast majority of Romney's income came from capital gains, interest, and dividends. And Ryan wants to eliminate all taxes on capital gains, interest and dividends.?...

It might seem impossible to fund the government when the super-rich pay no taxes. That is accurate. Ryan would actually raise taxes on the bottom 30 percent of earners, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center,?but that hardly fills the revenue hole he would create. The solution? All but eliminate all government outside of Social Security and defense...

On the "eliminate all government outside of Social Security and defense," Social Security isn't safe either. Remember that "Ryan sponsored a Social Security privatization scheme that went so far the George W. Bush administration rejected it." In any case, Social Security is one of the programs Romney and Ryan would need to cut in order to offset the low tax rates they propose for those at the top.
