Always makes me laugh that Americans figure 50 some states will spend less money more efficiently than 1 fed.
Each step that money goes through means that more leaks off in overhead.
The further away the spending is (in a state or town) from the source of the money (the federal government) the weaker are the controls against waste and fraud, because the incentives to prevent waste and fraud disappear. No bridge builder in Minnesota cares if he pads expenses for tax money from the feds that came 98% from outside Minnesota.
You have just neatly and blindly reversed cause and effect.
Before the economy recovers, businesses must see that potential profits will not be stolen from them and that onerous regulations will not continue to be applied to them. That will happen when the president isn't promoting unnamed Fascism, money is removed from regulatory agencies (in order to make it impossible to burden industries), and it is made unprofitable to not work. Only then will business invest in the future, followed by recovery of the economy. Not only is this theoretically the case, it is demonstrated historically time and again.
Didn't work thanks to the Tea Party maniacs who are unwilling/unable to compromise to cut and tax effectively
I am not going to compromise with someone who insists that part of the compromise consists of plunging a knife into my belly. Compromise is not a good goal, nor in itself a desirable thing. Many of the leftists who want to increase the size of government do so with the deliberate (but seldom stated) intent of destroying the country; such leftists include Obama, his cabinet and lackeys, and "leaders" like Reid and Pelosi. Compromise with them is compromise with suicide.
Unemployment compensation and tax credits now account for 14.5% of the federal budget, thanks largely to Obama deepening the recession we're in. Cutting that to zero would make an immense difference. Ending all meddling by the federal gov't with the health care system would fix the rest of the deficit and result in such a huge economic boom that other considerations would be negligible.
Better efficiency at higher current means that the tradeoffs involved in LED fixture design are optimized with a smaller number of LEDs. Price will go down, waste heat might go down.
160 V to handle peaks, 200 V or more to handle surges with some small measure of safety. Assume a 7 ms hold time and allow 20 V droop. A 10 watt fixture will be pulling 67 mA average off the average 150 V.
0.067 * 0.007 / 20 = 24e-6. 24 microFarad
Such capacitors are 10mm diameter, 20mm long (0.4" by 0.8") and cost 70 cents from DigiKey in quantity of one.
Calculations are different if a controller for a good power factor is used, but the net size won't change much.
For example, C has a moderate list of keywords, but if you want to use the language without substantial grief, you need to use a dozen standard libraries, each with a good number of English-like functions. Knowing English makes many programming languages easier.
"Suspect" is the term news outlets use to protect themselves from lawsuits and angry advocates of political correctness. It does not exclude the possibility, and in this case the near-certainty, of terms like "mass murderer" and "unreservedly evil". Other likely terms include "Islamic zealot" and "crazy man". (But not crazy in the sense that might exclude him from legal responsibility.)
Iraq and all of Islam has been a pustule on the body of humanity for a millennium. I'm currently reading Mark Twain's "The Innocents Abroad", and he notes a multitude of times that Muslims are terrible people, responsible for their own suffering and the suffering of others.
Unless there's something extra-special about the sulphur being in the form of H2S, there's no shocking news here. Many fertilizers contain sulphur (in Miracle Grow as copper sulphate). Sulphur is 0.25% of human mass, and is essential to human life.
The risk of accidents can be reduced, it can never be eliminated.
You need to do more detailed research into the nature of defense. During the cold war, USSR aircraft challenging US borders was a DAILY occurrence. Failing to respond would have eventually led to a shooting war. North Korea figuratively dances on land mines regularly, trying to find a weak place to exploit. Multiple bombs daily is routine for countries around Israel.
This is not a game. The US has made some bad decisions about where to fight and worse decisions about how to fight, but the failure to fight when necessary is catastrophic.

BLAME? The CREDIT for sequestration goes mostly to Republicans.

Except Obamacare, which is now being challenged in Federal Courts on just that basis.
The Obama administration bought a prison from one one the states, after being explicitly forbidden to do so by Congress. This saves money how?

So THAT'S why colleges have such a left wing bias.
Cree's profit margin is below 5% and its officers are not extravagantly paid. I've seen no evidence that they're not an honorable company.
You're a guy, right? You didn't ask for directions.

So it's the highly educated gentle Mohammedans who are setting off all those shrapnel bombs and maiming people?

What part of constant current do you not understand?
The plural of horsepower is horsepower.
Horsepower.
British Thermal Units per hour.
Long term storage is a political problem only, caused by such assholes as this Harry Reid appointee.
For example, C has a moderate list of keywords, but if you want to use the language without substantial grief, you need to use a dozen standard libraries, each with a good number of English-like functions. Knowing English makes many programming languages easier.
A large part of the problem with pointers in C is the peculiar manner in which they are declared.
No, it's auto-eroticism with respect to you: go fuck yourself.
