WEEKLY ADDRESS: "We Can't Wait" to Strengthen the Economy and Create Jobs
WASHINGTONIn this weeks address, President Obama told the American people that we cant wait for Congress to take action to grow the economy and create jobs, and highlighted the executive actions he took this week to help families save thousands of dollars by refinancing their mortgages, put veterans to work, and lower the cost of student loans. The President continued to urge Congress to do its part and pass the American Jobs Act now, which will put more money in the pockets of middle class families, create jobs and strengthen our economy right away. Remarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address The White House Saturday, October 29, 2011 This week, a new economic report confirmed what most Americans already believe to be true: over the past three decades, the middle class has lost ground while the wealthiest few have become even wealthier. In fact, the average income for the top one percent of Americans has risen almost seven times faster than the income of the average middle class family. And this has happened during a period where the cost of everything from health care to college has skyrocketed. Now, in this country, we dont begrudge anyone wealth or success we encourage it. We celebrate it. But America is better off when everyone has had the chance to get ahead not just those at the top of the income scale. The more Americans who prosper, the more America prospers. Rebuilding an economy where everyone has the chance to succeed will take time. Our economic problems were decades in the making, and they wont be solved overnight. But there are steps we can take right now to put people back to work and restore some of the security that middleclass Americans have lost over the last few decades. Right now, Congress can pass a set of common-sense jobs proposals that independent economists tell us will boost the economy right away. Proposals that will put more teachers, veterans, construction workers and first responders back on the job. Proposals that will cut taxes for virtually every middle class family and small business in America. These are the same kinds

of proposals that both Democrats and Republicans have supported in the past. And they should stop playing politics and act on them now. These jobs proposals are also paid for by asking folks who are making more than a million dollars a year to contribute a little more in taxes. These are the same folks who have seen their incomes go up so much, and I believe this is a contribution theyre willing to make. One survey found that nearly 7 in 10 millionaires are willing to step up and pay a little more in order to help the economy. Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress arent paying attention. Theyre not getting the message. Over and over, they have refused to even debate the same kind of jobs proposals that Republicans have supported in the past proposals that today are supported, not just by Democrats, but by Independents and Republicans all across America. And yet, somehow, they found time this week to debate things like whether or not we should mint coins to celebrate the Baseball Hall of Fame. Meanwhile, theyre only scheduled to work three more weeks between now and the end of the year. The truth is, we can no longer wait for Congress to do its job. The middle-class families whove been struggling for years are tired of waiting. They need help now. So where Congress wont act, I will. This week, we announced a new policy that will help families whose home values have fallen refinance their mortgages and save thousands of dollars. Were making it easier for veterans to get jobs putting their skills to work in hospitals and community health centers. We reformed the student loan process so more young people can get out of debt faster. And were going to keep announcing more changes like these on a regular basis. These steps will make a difference. But they wont take the place of the bold action we need from Congress to get this economy moving again. Thats why I need all of you to make your voices heard. Tell Congress to stop playing politics and start taking action on jobs. If we want to rebuild an economy where every American has the chance to get ahead, we need every American to get involved. Thats how real change has always happened, and thats how itll happen today. Thank you.

Another contract, for the guidance system for the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile, led to a transistorized computer that successfully guided Atlas launches from 1957 through 1959. Burroughs claimed that this was the first operational computer to use transistors rather than vacuum tubes.46 The SOLO computer, described above, may have preceeded it, but SOLOs existence was kept secret for many years. That experience laid a foundation for Burroughss successful reentry into commercial computing in the 1960s.

n. Short for transfer resistor. A solid-state circuit component, usually with three leads, in which a voltage or a current controls the flow of another current. The transistor can serve many functions, including those of amplifier, switch, and oscillator, and is a fundamental component of almost all modern electronics.

It was in the late 1960s that the integrated circuit began to show up in commercial systems, which immediately created a new class of inexpensive computers that had limited memory requirements. These computers had no room to implement the highly structured languages, like Pascal, that critics of FORTRAN preferred. So programmers resorted to unstructured machine or assembly language, go to and all. Putting software on a more formal basis, which so many had hoped for, would arrive late, if ever.

WASHINGTONIn this weeks address, President Obama told the American people that we cant wait for Congress to take action to grow the economy and create jobs, and highlighted the executive actions he took this week to help families save thousands of dollars by refinancing their mortgages, put veterans to work, and lower the cost of student loans.

The calculator offered the first consumer market for logic chips that allowed companies to amortize the high costs of designing complex integrated circuits. The dramatic drop in prices of calculators between 1971 and 1976 showed just how potent this force was.

The President continued to urge Congress to do its part and pass the American Jobs Act now, which will put more money in the pockets of middle class families, create jobs and strengthen our economy right away.

Like the famous demonstration of remote computing staged by George Stibitz at the Dartmouth meeting of the American Mathematical Society in 1940; it foretold a day when direct access to large amounts of data would become essential to the operations of banks, supermarkets, insurance companies, and government agencies.

Remarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address The White House Saturday, October 29, 2011

This week, a new economic report confirmed what most Americans already believe to be true: over the past three decades, the middle class has lost ground while the wealthiest few have become even wealthier.

In fact, the average income for the top one percent of Americans has risen almost seven times faster than the income of the average middle class family. And this has happened during a period where the cost of everything from health care to college has skyrocketed.
A 7094 installation rented for about $30,000 a month, or an equivalent purchase price of about $1.6 million. With that cost it was imperative that the machine never be left idle. Although our personal computers run a screen-saver while we go to a meeting or to lunch, the number of computer cycles wasted by this practice would have been scandalous in 1963.

Now, in this country, we dont begrudge anyone wealth or success we encourage it. We celebrate it. But America is better off when everyone has had the chance to get ahead not just those at the top of the income scale. The more Americans prosper, the more America prospers.

Rebuilding an economy where everyone has the chance to succeed will take time. Our economic problems were decades in the making, and they wont be solved overnight.

But there are steps we can take right now to put people back to work and restore some of the security that middle-class Americans have lost over the last few decades.
Formatted Input Fields

In the last example program, we wanted the program user to type numbers, not arbitrary strings. That is, the user is allowed to enter only digits 0 through 9 and a hyphen (-). The hyphen, if present at all, must be the first symbol of the input string. On the surface, this input validation task sounds simple. We can install a key listener to the text field and then consume all key events that aren't digits or a hyphen. Unfortunately, this simple approach, although commonly recommended as a method for input validation, does not work well in practice. First, not every combination of the valid input characters is a valid number. For example, --3 and 3-3 aren't valid, even though they are made up from valid input characters. But, more important, there are other ways of changing the text that don't involve typing character keys. Depending on the look and feel, certain key combinations can be used to cut, copy, and paste text. For example, in the Metal look and feel, the CTRL+V key combination pastes the content of the paste buffer into the text field. That is, we also need to monitor that the user doesn't paste in an invalid character. Clearly, trying to filter keystrokes to ensure that the content of the text field is always valid begins to look like a real chore. This is certainly not something that an application programmer should have to worry about. Perhaps surprisingly, before Java SE 1.4, there were no components for entering numeric values. Starting with the first edition of Core Java, we supplied an implementation for an IntTextField, a text field for entering a properly formatted integer. In every new edition, we changed the implementation to take whatever limited advantage we could from the various half-baked validation schemes that were added to each version of Java. Finally, in Java SE 1.4, the Swing designers faced the issues head-on and supplied a versatile JFormattedTextField class that can be used not just for numeric input, but also for dates and for even more esoteric formatted values such as IP addresses.

Right now, Congress can pass a set of common-sense jobs proposals that independent economists tell us will boost the economy right away. Proposals that will put more teachers, veterans, construction workers and first responders back on the job.

Proposals that will cut taxes for virtually every middle class family and small business in America. These are the same kinds of proposals that both Democrats and Republicans have supported in the past. And they should stop playing politics and act on them now.

Summary
At this point, you should have a basic understanding of GIMPs windows, menus, and preferences. Youve seen how to create text logos using the built-in Logo scripts, and how to combine two images in a simple GIMP project. Perhaps youve spent some time playing with some of GIMPs built-in filters and plug-ins and getting comfortable with its interface. Now lets move on to the details of image editing. Chapter 2 will cover photographs: how to work with them, and a collection of ways GIMP can improve a flaky photo.

These jobs proposals are also paid for by asking folks who are making more than a million dollars a year to contribute a little more in taxes.

These are the same folks who have seen their incomes go up so much, and I believe this is a contribution theyre willing to make. One survey found that nearly 7 in 10 millionaires are willing to step up and pay a little more in order to help the economy.

Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress arent paying attention. Theyre not getting the message. Over and over, they have refused to even debate the same kind of jobs proposals that
