The ultra-rich share few of the priorities of most Americans, but their access to policymakers is greater, a study finds.
Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer, left, and Debbie Stabenow are seen at the conclusion of a news conference held by Senate Democrats on Capitol Hill. (Michael Reynolds / EPA / March 21, 2013)
Over the last two years, President Obama and Congress have put the country on track to reduce projected federal budget deficits by nearly $4 trillion. Yet when that process began, in early 2011, only about 12% of Americans in Gallup polls cited federal debt as the nation's most important problem. Two to three times as many cited unemployment and jobs as the biggest challenge facing the country.
So why did policymakers focus so intently on the deficit issue?

Do you find yourself wishing your laptop looked more like your beloved Sega Dreamcast? If you're in Japan, you can snatch up one of the four limited edition classic console-themed laptops that Sega's offering through Japanese online retailer Ebten.
According to The Verge, it was difficult for the Sega to narrow down its console designs to just four, so it had to go with its most iconic looks: the Genesis (aka MegaDrive), Saturn, and Dreamcast, as well as one decked out in all blue. Not really interested in an entire machine but still want to show your love for Sega? You can give your laptop a makeover with a Sega-themed laptop lid cover.
Beyond its Sega good looks, these Windows 8 laptops are available with configurations ranging from "light" to "standard" to "high-spec" to "premium." While all models come with 15.6-inch, 1080p HD displays, you have the option to choose the more powerful Intel Core i7 2.4GHz processor and Nvidia GeForce 650M discrete graphics. Each laptop will also be pre-loaded with Sega themed wallpapers, icons, and music from various Sega titles.
If you want one of these bad boys, you'll need to move quickly. Sega is only making 50 units of the standard, high-spec, and premium models – with no plans to bring these devices to other shores. It goes without saying that this extremely limited run of Sega laptops will cost you a pretty penny: from 99,750 yen (about $1,077 U.S.) to 194,250 yen ($2,098 U.S.). We can't even imagine the ridiculous starting prices if they ever make it to eBay.

ASHBURN, Va. – Rex Grossman created quite the stir last week, and all he did was exude some confidence.
The veteran quarterback went on TV and said he really feels the Washington Redskins are going to win the NFC East. While perhaps an outlandish prospect to some, it was more or less his way of stating the standard win-the-division goal that every team has in training camp.
Nevertheless, the reaction and over-analysis – generating everything from ridicule to kudos – verified once again that there's no such thing as a low-key Redskins quarterback controversy. The talk became even weightier – literally – when some unflattering photos taken during practice made it appear that Grossman had become a gross man, as in a bit on the heavy side.
Grossman later appeared again on Comcast SportsNet and said he didn't mean to make such a "bold statement" and that he was just expressing his faith in the team. He also addressed the weight issue, telling ESPN980 that he has to lose "maybe five or six pounds."
Just another week in the NFL, huh?
"I've been here and Chicago," Grossman said Monday, "so I just think that's the norm. Any time you're a quarterback in a tradition-rich franchise with a huge fan base that are passionate about their team, it's head coach, quarterback, down the line. I fully understand that. And it's part of the responsibility of the quarterback to handle outside pressures and perform."
When it came time to perform, Grossman did just fine, completing 19 of 26 passes for 207 yards and one touchdown in the first half against Pittsburgh in Friday's exhibition opener. The timing and rhythm looked promising, especially this early in the preseason, and it gave him an early advantage in the competition for the starting job over John Beck, who missed the game with a strained groin.
"It's one thing to think you can do it, but to actually do it in a live game situation, it was nice to see," Grossman said.
Beck is fully practicing this week, so both quarterbacks should see plenty of playing time Friday at Indianapolis.
Grossman knows the expectations are low, for both himself and the Redskins. He's started only 11 games since taking the Bears to the Super Bowl five years ago, and he's dogged by a reputation for committing turnovers. Since the start of the 2006 season, only Derek Anderson and Mark Sanchez have higher interception percentages than Grossman. He's also lost 12 fumbles over that span, a disproportionately high number considering his amount of playing time.
"Rex can play at times as good as anyone," said offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who is starting his third season with Grossman, one in Houston and two in Washington. "Then he can play at times when he gives up the ball too much."
Grossman threw four interceptions and lost four fumbles in four games for the Redskins last year, including three starts and one relief appearance while Donovan McNabb was benched. He was stellar late in a come-from-behind attempt against Dallas, completing 18 of 30 passes for 214 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the second half of a 33-30 loss.
"When I'm in a groove I feel like it's pretty tough to stop this offense," Grossman said. "That's my challenge, to be consistently great and not have any lulls. There's going to be adversity, but (I want to) be really proud of myself after every single game."
When Grossman was negotiating a new contract after the NFL lockout, he took a one-year deal instead of a longer-term offer because he feels he can get something better if he puts together a good season. It's a gamble – because he won't be much in demand at all if Beck wins the job and keeps it.
"I just wanted to give myself an upside – if I play the way I think I can play," Grossman said. "In the NFL, there are not guaranteed contracts anyway."


text: Beef Prices Keep Climbing, Other Food Prices More Stable June 5, 2013 12:03 PM Tweet Food price inflation should be low this year, except when it comes to beef prices. © Sara Brown TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Brown Farm Journal Livestock and Production Editor Email Food price inflation should be low this year, except when it comes to beef prices. Even though farmers struggled to plant and harvest crops across the nation due to drought, the affect on consumers will be less than many feared, reports USDA's Economic Research Service. "The impact of the drought is looking like it is going to be less than was originally forecast and what that means is that right now we're on track for a year of basically normal food price inflation. We're forecasting a range of 2.5% to 3.5%," says Ricky Volpe, USDA-ERS economist. Beef prices, however, will stay on the upward rise, due to shrinking domestic supply and increases in exports to other countries. Volpe says that beef prices will continue on this path until cattle inventories start to expand to meet consumers' demand. That won't be seen until 2014 at the earliest. Pork prices will remain mostly flat, as production is increasing much faster than beef, and some consumers are shifting away from pork products towards poultry products, which historically in the last few years have been relatively less expensive.

The man who made "Psycho" was no lightweight, though he kind of comes off that way in "Hitchcock."
Starring Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock and Helen Mirren as his wife and collaborator, Alma, "Hitchcock" puts a featherlight yet entertaining touch on the behind-the-scenes struggle to make the mother of all slasher films.
Hitchcock's very dark side gets superficial treatment as the film offers the cinematic equivalent of psychobabble to explore the director's notorious gluttony, sexual repression and idolization of his leading ladies.
Though shallow, "Hitchcock" has a playful quality that often makes it good fun, its spirit of whimsy a wink that the filmmakers know they're riffing on Hitchcock's merrily macabre persona and not examining the man with any great depth or insight.
"Hitchcock" is a promising move into dramatic filmmaking for director Sacha Gervasi after his 2009 documentary "Anvil: The Story of Anvil," a chronicle of heavy-metal wannabes who never quite made it. With screenwriter John J. McLaughlin adapting Stephen Rebello's book "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho," Gervasi spins a nimble tale of a genteel yet volatile genius turning water into wine as Hitchcock transforms a tawdry story inspired by murderer Ed Gein into high art – and one of the scariest movies ever.
Fresh off a big success with 1959's "North by Northwest," Hopkins' Hitchcock lapses into the sort of funk that repeated itself throughout his career as he floundered about in search of his next film. He defies the expectations of Paramount executives and his own colleagues, Alma included, when he settles on Robert Bloch's novel "Psycho," the Gein-influenced story of Norman Bates, a soft-spoken mama's boy whose creepy double life leads to multiple murders.
Alma thinks it's a cheap story that's beneath her husband. Hitchcock thinks the spare tale – its savage violence told with subtle suggestiveness to mollify Hollywood's puritanical censors – can leave fans screaming in their seats.
"Hitchcock" strains to play up marital strife between the two as Alma feels tempted by a writing colleague (Danny Huston), while Alfred's frustrated fancies continue over his long string of Hitchcock blondes – in this case, "Psycho" co-stars Janet Leigh (Scarlett Johansson) and Vera Miles (Jessica Biel) – the latter standing with Grace Kelly among his greatest fixations.
The film also strays into Freudian fantasies as the specter of Gein himself (Michael Wincott) pops up to help Hitchcock work through his issues. These moments are clunky devices that offer no understanding of Hitchcock and his demons; at best, they're good for a chuckle here and there.
And while the filmmaker-at-work moments are similarly frivolous, it's wicked fun watching Hopkins' Hitchcock as cruel taskmaster, using whatever figurative cattle prods he can find to trick or cajole what he wants out of his actors.
Hopkins is padded to match Hitchcock's portly silhouette, yet the jowly prosthetics applied to his face are a bit distracting and unrealistic. They don't make Hopkins look much more like Hitchcock; they just make him look like Anthony Hopkins with prosthetics on his face.
Still, the spirit of Hitchcock comes through in Hopkins' sly performance, and he captures the measured cadence of the filmmaker's speech even though he doesn't sound much like Hitchcock, either.
Mirren has the easier task in inhabiting Alma, bringing fierce intelligence to Hitchcock's wife without the handicap of playing someone whose image, voice and mannerisms the audience knows so well.
The supporting players are there just for the joy of it, though Johansson turns out to be surprisingly good casting as Leigh, physically resembling the actress whose "Psycho" character gets snuffed in the famous shower scene and also doing a nice impersonation of Leigh's speaking style and demeanor. Likewise, James D'Arcy is an eerie dead ringer as jittery Anthony Perkins, who played the killer Norman.
Behind horn-rimmed glasses and a stiff hairdo, Toni Collette is a delight as Hitchcock's assistant, putting great heart and humor into her handful of scenes.
If "Hitchcock" ultimately feels inconsequential, it always aims to please, and for the most part, it does. As Alma says at one point, even "Psycho," after all, was just a movie.
Rating: 2 1/2 stars
PG-13: some violent images, sexual content and thematic material.
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Toni Collette, James D'Arcy.
Director: Sacha Gervasi.
Running time: 1 hr. 38 min.
Playing: Areawide.
In a nutshell: Shallow but entertaining.

I requested clarification about what he meant but no response, sadly.undefineable wrote:It looks as if jeeprs used the term sociopath to mean the opposite of what it's come to mean among some researchers.
I don't know what you mean. A sociopathic mind is essentially a mind with no conscience. Such a mind is more capable, in some (socially unacceptable) ways, but less capable in other ways. It's believed that they cannot love, for instance. Love is a capability that is beneficial to a group or society.an un-sociopathic mind IS disadvantageous from the point of view of ego's natural aim of fully structuring and integrating the mind into the rest of reality (self-evidently a task every being must commit to whether the aim is to dominate reality or to reach enlightenment).

PhDs judge high school math contest
PhDs judge high school math contest
Students tackle 2009 stimulus package
During an extensive judging process over the past month, 36 professional applied mathematicians read, evaluated, and debated the 389 solution papers submitted to Moody's Mega Math Challenge 2009, eventually eliminating all but the best papers. Nearly 400 teams of three to five 11th and 12th graders responded to this year's problem, "$787 Billion: Will the Stimulus Act Stimulate the U.S. Economy?" Participating high school students from Maine to Washington D.C. were asked to mathematically assess the parts of the stimulus package most likely to produce the greatest improvements in employment and the time frame over which this effect would take place. They had to quantify their findings using mathematical modeling and quantitative analysis techniques, develop and defend their models, and justify their conclusions.
The students weren't the only ones responding to a challenge--the judges were faced with one of their own: how to decide which teams would get a share of up to $80,000 in scholarship prizes. Mathematics professionals at three triage sites-- Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida; Salisbury University in Salisbury, Maryland; and Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts--evaluated all of the solution papers submitted on Challenge weekend, March 7-8. The best 66 papers (just 17% of all submissions) advanced to the contention round, where this past weekend they were judged by a panel of 13 Ph.D. mathematicians at the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) headquarters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After two full days of deliberation, the judges arrived at and tentatively ranked the top 23 papers.
"The quality of the papers was excellent," said Ben Fusaro, M3 Challenge consultant and Head Judge. "The judges thought the solutions were exceptional considering that the authors are high school juniors and seniors."
The third and final phase of judging involves presentations by the top six teams at the Moody's Corporation headquarters in Manhattan. These presentations will take place on May 5, immediately followed by a ceremony where scholarship prizes of $2,500 to $20,000 will be awarded. The Moody's Foundation initiated and provides funding for the Challenge; SIAM organizes and administers the contest.
"That teams were able to make so much progress on this exceptionally daunting problem and in just 14 hours is a testament to the quality of our high school students and their teachers," said Lee Seitelman, M3 Challenge consultant and Director of Judges for this year's Challenge. "This is especially true given that the brightest minds in our country are grappling over these same issues at this very moment."
The 36 judges involved in this year's M3 Challenge are professional Ph.D.-level applied mathematicians who come from colleges, universities, and several corporations. A complete list of judges and their affiliations is listed below.

Wilderness is a necessity...a fountain of life... thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people who are beginning to find out that going to the mountain is going home; that wilderness is a necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.

Proper trip planning and preparation helps backcountry travelers accomplish trip goals safely while minimizing damage to the land and having fun.
Poor planning often results in miserable campers and damage to natural and cultural resources. Rangers often tell stories of campers they have encountered who, because of poor planning and unexpected conditions, degrade backcountry resources and put themselves at risk.
Here are a few incentives for trip planning. You may want to add to this list. Trip planning
When a group neglects the responsibility of proper trip planning, it leaves the door wide open for events to go awry. A group that is experienced and familiar with the geographical characteristics of an area will avoid risk by
A well-prepared group might plan to cook meals on stoves or, if using a campfire, will find out in advance when and where that is allowed. Stoves are preferred over campfires because they leave no impact, can be used in different environments, and are convenient. Such a group would not discover upon arrival at its destination that a fire ban is in effect or that firewood is in scarce supply. In contrast, poorly prepared groups often build a fire anywaybreaking the law or spoiling the landsimply because they have not planned for alternatives. A scarce wood supply is a sign that an area is experiencing the cumulative effects of heavy recreation use.
A group that has developed good travel plans will be able to travel as fast as it expected. This group will not be caught off guard because of steep terrain or trails that are too rugged. However, the unprepared group will often resort to setting up camp late at night, sometimes in an unsafe location. Poor campsite selection usually leads to unnecessary resource damage. In addition, the group may never even reach its planned destination.
Take the following elements into consideration during trip planning. You may want to add to this list.
Meals are another element to trip planning that can profoundly affect a group's impact on a backcountry area.
Meal planning helps
Planning for one-pot meals and lightweight snacks requires a minimum of packaging and preparation time, lightens loads, and decreases garbage. One-pot meals require minimal cooking utensils and make it easy to prepare meals on a lightweight stove. Two backpack stoves can be used to cook all meals for groups of 12 people if you have a couple of large pots. (One large pot can be balanced on two stoves when quick heating is desired.) When using smaller pots, four backpack stoves may be needed.
Most food should be removed from its commercial packaging and placed in resealable plastic bags or sealable plastic containers before packing your backpacks. Resealable plastic bags secure premeasured food and reduce bulk and garbage. Empty bags can be placed inside each other and packed out for reuse at home or used to carry out garbage left by others (good turn). This method minimizes the amount of garbage your group must pack out at the end of the trip and eliminates the undesirable behavior of stashing or burying unwanted trash.

It does not (yet) work out of the box. There is a little trick you need. You need to manually load the usbserial module supplying the vendor and product ID. You can find those IDs via the lsusb command. Just add an 0x at the beginning and then load the module:
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1614 product=0x0407
The support should be automatic in one the next upcoming Linux kernels, though. You can of course automate the module load with an entry in /etc/modules:
usbserial vendor=0x1614 product=0x0407
Then the module is always loaded in the right way at boot time and you just need to plug in the mobile phone for it to pop up in Network Manager (with the help of Mobile Manager). Once that's the case in Gnome with nm-util you can use an easy wizard that should already include your settings. In Kubuntu 9.10 the KDE support for connecting was broken, though. But it's fixed now in Kubuntu 10.04. Too sad many of these changes are never backported...

In 2010 Whitney Kiihnl was a sophomore pitcher for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons softball team, She won 33 games that season and was named both the Atlantic Sun Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year to go with her 2009 A-Sun Freshman of the Year Award. She was also the mainstay of a three-pitcher rotation that led the Lady Bisons to their first NCAA Regional, finishing 2-2 in the Tuscaloosa Regional with two wins over UAB and two losses against the No. 1-seeded Alabama. Kiihnl is in the second year of work for her degree to become a physician's assistant and has helped as a graduate assistant part-time this season with Harding University's first softball team. She spent some time this week with lipscombsports.com to talk about the 2010 team and send `good luck' wishes to the 2014 team as it heads to the Knoxville Regional this weekend.
What years did you play softball at Lipscomb? Who were your coaches?
"I played from 2008 through 2012. Kristin Ryman was the head coach. Lexi Myers was the pitching coach.
"I graduated in 2012 with a major in biology."
What do you remember the most about playing in the Tuscaloosa Regional in 2010?
"I remember all of the excitement. There were some nerves but there was excitement more so of being on that big stage. I remember it being very special for our seniors. It was a lot of fun.
"I didn't really feel the pressure. It was like, hey, this is fun."
As a sophomore how did you deal with being the mainstay on a three-pitcher staff in the team's first NCAA Regional?
"I really didn't think about it. We weren't supposed to win. We weren't supposed to beat Alabama. We were playing the No. 1 team in the nation in Alabama.
"We didn't talk about playing Alabama. We knew all season that we had a chance to be in a regional. We just had to play our best. We all believed we could beat Alabama if we played the top level of ball that we could. We gave it our best shot."
Why did you choose to attend Lipscomb to play softball?
"There were a number of different factors. Growing up in a small town (Batesville, Mississippi) I always wanted to live in a bigger city and get that perspective. Lipscomb was a Christian school and I wanted to get a Christian education. I wanted to have the positive influence of teachers and coaches around me
"I really didn't know what to expect from softball coming in. I just did the best I could. My mentality was that if I worked hard I could be good enough to be a top-level pitcher. I had that confidence in myself."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"I guess there are two different aspects. Going to the NCAA Regional was huge. So was winning the Atlantic Sun Championship in 2010. They are moments in sports you will always remember.
"But it was also about being with my teammates and friends."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"I would have to say the 2010 senior class. They were very encouraging to me (as juniors) when I got to Lipscomb my freshman year. Being a freshman, and having your upper classmen believe in you, really makes a difference."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"I think back about how immature I was then, and I still am. I learned throughout college to love people no matter what their background is, to care more about their souls than anything else.
"I made a lot of mistakes and I still make them. I am still learning to care deeply about people and just loving people, basically. Softball was a big part of our lives, but the spiritual aspects of our lives was the most important.
"One thing I liked about Lipscomb was the service opportunities. That really opened my eyes to look for the opportunities to serve others. That had an impact in my life too."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"I hate to point to just one or two teachers but Dr. Kent Gallaher and Dr. Jon Lowrance were just great, caring people.
"Dr. Gallaher wasn't one of my professors, but he was my advisor. I may have shed a few tears in his office."
Where do you live now?
Searcy, Arkansas, where I am attending school to be a physician's assistant. I am in my second year. I will graduate in December.
"I tried to help with the softball team this year at Harding. I did get to travel with them at the end of the season. I tried to go to practice when I could. I really didn't get to coach all that much. I tried in the fall to give them some drills to do. I was more a cheerleader and an encourager."
What would you like to say to the Lady Bisons as they return to the regionals this weekend?
"First of all, I want to tell them how proud I am of them. It is awesome how well they play as a team. I like their attitude.
"The seniors on the team were freshmen when I was a junior. I can't tell you how happy I am that they got to the regional. I think they can win. They have to go in there with that confidence. They are a special team. I think they will do well."

The blueprints for retirement are changing, homebuilders say, with baby boomers demanding fewer stories, step-less front entrances and showers, and doorways wide enough to one day easily accommodate wheelchairs.
A survey of what the new homes of 2015 are likely to feature indicates that following the housing bust, aging boomers have more modest notions of where they'd like to live, the National Association of Home Builders says. "Affordability was number one, and with that a substantial reduction in the square footage from years past," says Stephen Melman, the group's director of economic services. "They also want grab bars in the bathrooms, step-less showers, and when there is more than one story – they want the ability to put a master bedroom on the first floor."
While boomers are often said to be ill-prepared for the future, there seems to be a concerted effort to project ahead through the decades and imagine their needs as they become less mobile, Melman says. "We found that 89 percent of older homebuyers want to be able to live in the house for as long as physically possible. As the sandwich generation they watched their own parents and learned how their needs will change."
But the builders surveyed indicated that the older home buyers wanted the houses to have the capacity to become fully wheelchair accessible "without needing ramps," Melman says. "I think what they want to do is stay independent – and what they don't want is the place to look institutional. They don't want a hospital, but a home."
Such features are also being designed to appeal to younger families as well to ensure that the homes will have greater resale value, the study found. "One thing we're no longer seeing is all the fancy spas and kitchens – the goals seem to be more pragmatic and affordable," Melman adds.

Although historians disagree on the actual location, it most likely existed somewhere in the narrow region at the southeast corner of the Caspian Sea, through which Alexander the Great once marched in the pursuit of Bessus, the self-proclaimed king of Persia. Alexander chased his enemy to a pass between two peaks in the Caucasus near the Caspian Sea, and with the aid of his men, was able to close the pass preventing the uncivilized barbarians from pillaging the peaceful southern lands.
Inspired by antique banking shoes, John drew up designs for a simple brogue with two-toned buttery Italian leathers*. Using 19th century traditional methods, the classic Caspian shoes feature leather soles, leather heel lifts, and a timeless almond toe shape with brogue detailing. Legend has it that on stormy winter nights, one can hear the ghost of Bessus clanging on the gates of the Netherworld, demanding the return of his kingdom.
*The black & off-white colourway features an aged, marbled-beige leather with slight irregularities, making each pair unique.

Hail Mary. Holy hell.
On the final play of the final game of one of the most shameful weekends in NFL history, a last-gasp pass from the Seattle Seahawks fell from the sky into the arms of the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.
Touchdown, Seattle. Chaos, NFL.
PHOTOS: Touchdown or interception?
Three weeks of gross incompetence by unqualified replacement officials crystallized in two moments Monday night that pushed the league's integrity to the brink.
In one moment, Packers safety M.D. Jennings clearly intercepted a final-play pass while falling upon Seahawks receiver Golden Tate in the end zone, preserving an apparent 12-7 Green Bay win.

Overprint only adds different colors. The same colors are not added. http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/13.0/help.html?content=WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d 0100196cbc5f-6494.html

Turn on overprint preview
View>Overprint Preview
otherwise you can see it.
3. Re: OverprintingsPretzel Dec 16, 2011 3:24 PM (in response to Monika Gause)
I read the text at the linked site and I do not see where it states that same colours are not added. Perhaps you can point me to the exact sentence/paragraph, in case I misunderstood. Thanks.
Overprint Preview is on already.
4. Re: OverprintingMonika Gause Dec 16, 2011 3:30 PM (in response to sPretzel)
When overprinting process color mixes or custom colors that do not share common ink colors, the overprint color is added to the background color.
5. Re: OverprintingsPretzel Dec 16, 2011 3:41 PM (in response to Monika Gause)
Thanks, I had misunderstood the sentence initially. Isn't it counter-intuitive though? I would think that adding a layer of the same colour on the background would make it more intense (in a real life "painting" situation), but here, the foreground colour prevails, as if it knocked out the background colour (i.e. no overprinting)!
e.g. adding background CMYK=0/0/50/0 and foreground CMYK=0/0/10/0 yields a combined result of 0/0/10/0 (same as foreground colour).
6. Re: OverprintingMonika Gause Dec 16, 2011 4:02 PM (in response to sPretzel)
That's just the way overprint works. In some situations you might try multiply instead.
7. Re: OverprintingsPretzel Dec 16, 2011 8:53 PM (in response to Monika Gause)
Thanks Monika. As far as any possible misregistration at print time, then does overprinting in such conditions (where top colour prevails on background colour if the same colour is present in both foreground and background) still prevent misregistration or is it no different than knocking out the background?
8. Re: OverprintingMonika Gause Dec 17, 2011 4:36 AM (in response to sPretzel)
Overprint doesn't prevent misregistration, it just makes the effect of it less visible if applied properly. But in the case you describe, overprint has no effect at all on the concerned ink.
9. Re: OverprintingJETalmage Dec 17, 2011 5:40 AM (in response to sPretzel)
Isn't it counter-intuitive though? I would think that adding a layer of the same colour on the background would make it more intense (in a real life "painting" situation), but here, the foreground colour prevails, as if it knocked out the background colour (i.e. no overprinting)!
Exactly. But you won't win this argument. (I've tried, for many years.)
When you and I say "overprint," we are thinking in terms of real-world ink-on-paper to which the term supposedly alludes. In the real world, there is no prohibition against two "hits" of the same ink in a single pass. (Commonly done with black.) In Adobe-speak, that never happens. So coverage for a single ink cannot exceed 100%, because when separations are printed, there will (in your example) stil only be one Y separation plate generated.
That, of course, still doesn't explain why (as you point out) a lower percentage of a given ink component actually knocks out (the very opposite of overprinting) any other values of the same ink. In the normal sense of the word "overprint", one would expect the sum of the same-ink values to result (up to 100%). But even doing that would not really emulate true overprinting, because a true overprint might result in 110% Y, which of course cannot be imaged on a single Y separation plate.
So to actually achieve what you and I would call a double-hit of Y, you'd have to resort to adding a 5th ink (a spot Y). That's not too bad, since each separation should correspond to a single pass of a press inkwell. But then you are faced with the fact that in Illustrator, you cannot create solid Swatches from multiple inks (other than CMYK), as you can in InDesign (and in Quark XPress long before that). In Illustrator, you have to resort to methods like multiple fills or stroke for that.
So that's why it's often offhandedly suggested to use Multiply to effectively replicate what you and I call overprinting. But it doesn't really, because even with Multiply, you will still not achieve greater-than-100% coverage of a single ink. Multiply can often imitate overprinting the same ink, but it doesn't really replicate it in the real world if an actual physical overprint would result in greater than 100% of a single component ink.
It boils down to the failure of software to truly emulate what goes on in the real world, and creating confusion when real-world terms are adopted. For example, ask any screen printer if "Overprint Preview" even remotely previews what actually happens when overprinting opaque screen inks. Illustrator always assumes the translucent inks of offset lithography--which is why I have also long argued that spot color Swatches should provide an ink-specific opacity setting, which should in turn be simulated by Overprint Preview (which really should be named Overprint Simulation).
10. Re: OverprintingsPretzel Dec 17, 2011 6:36 AM (in response to JETalmage)
Thanks Monika and JET, those are both very informative insights.
So, in a scenario where I have a background coloured area, say made of CMYK=10/20/50/0, and foreground text in black, what is the best solution to have a good solid black text with well-defined edges and no misregistration?
a- Use a rich black (e.g. CMYK: 30/30/30/100) and overprint it on the background? In Adobe, this would yield 30/30/30/100 for the overprint area - this is similar to the rich black "knocking out" the background.
b- Use a rich black (e.g. CMYK: 30/30/30/100) and knock out the background?
c- Use a pure black (100% K only) with a knockout of the background where the text lies?
-Would the same answer apply to small text (e.g. 10pt) and large text (e.g. over 20pt)?
-Is there any difference in print between (a) and (b)?
-Out of curiosity, is there a chance to see any white halo iaround the text in solution (a), as in a true knockout, or will the paper be fully covered with ink?
11. Re: OverprintingJETalmage Dec 17, 2011 7:14 AM (in response to sPretzel)
...I have a background coloured area, say made of CMYK=10/20/50/0, and foreground text in black, what is the best solution to have a good solid black text with well-defined edges and no misregistration?
Simply set the black text to overprint. The 100% K text will overprint (not knock out) the other (non-K) components of the background. The 10c, 20m, and 50y dots will still be there. Your text will thereby be 10c20m50y100k.
Be careful with terminology. As Monika mentioned, creating traps or overprinting does not "prevent misregistration." They merely make it less noticable.
...is there a chance to see any white halo...
Designers often over-compensate in building traps. White slivers are only going to appear where there is no ink. This is why, for example, one can very often get away with placing colored type in front of a full-color photo without any traps whatsoever. For example, if, in the area of the type, both the image and the type have some significant component value of any given ink (other than Y, because it is light, even when 100%), a misregistration sliver is not likley to be significantly noticable, unless the printing is rather crude and misregistration is extreme. The resulting slivers will at least have some dots in them. That is, the slivers will only appear on sep plates of inks on which either the text or the image does not appear at all.
Remember: misregistration occurs on press (or in stripping), not in the printed seps. Same-ink objects are going to image to the same separation film (or plate) at the same time.
I've seen designers worry over things like, for example, 100y (solid yellow) text in front of a 100m100y (red) object. No trap or overprint whatsoever is needed in such a case.
I've also seen designers think they need to build traps on projects to be printed by composite printers on which all inks reside in the same carriage, and are therefore sprayed at the same time, on the same single-roller single-pass.
12. Re: OverprintingsPretzel Dec 17, 2011 7:14 AM (in response to JETalmage)
Thanks JET. Understood, I also meant to make mis-registration less noticeable, not prevent it.
One last question, somewhat related. What is the best practise in the case of grey text in the above example (instead of the black text)? I suppose overprinting is a no no for grey.
13. Re: OverprintingJETalmage Dec 17, 2011 9:02 AM (in response to sPretzel)
What is the best practise in the case of grey text in the above example (instead of the black text)? I suppose overprinting is a no no for grey.
I have a background coloured area, say made of CMYK=10/20/50/0, and foreground text in [grey, instead of black].
Another gentle admonition: You need to define "grey". Speak and think in terms of inks, not colors. Grey can be a tint of K, or could be built from CMY (or CMYK).
Best practice would depend on two things: the value (lightness/darkness) of the text as opposed to that of the background, and the size of the text relative to the thickness of the expected misregistration.
If built from a tint of K, then you would need either a choke or a spread to avoid the possibility of white slivers (or simply accept the possibility of a minor white sliver (which, depending on the values, may actually be preferable to spreading a black dot into the surrounding "background," or choking CMY dots into small type). If using a trap, you choke or spread the lighter color into the darker.
So knowing neither the size of the type nor the ink values of grey, let's assume middle ground in both:
10c20m50y is pretty light; about like the brightness of 30K. Yet there is enough color difference between 10c20m50y for 30K text to not look bad against it, depending on the size of the text, which I'll assume is headline size. In this case, either a choke or a spread is going to be distracting, resulting in a noticably darker outline around the text. It also will make the text itself either appear "bolder" (in the case of a spread) or "thinner" (in the case of a choke).
What to do? I wouldn't build a trap at all. I'd simply apply a CMY mix to the type which effectively "neutralizes" the color to grey. 30c21m17y on my present laptop screen pretty well simulates 30k. Use those values, and no trap (that is, no choking or spreading stroke) is needed. Any slivers would merely be a minor shift in percentage of C, M, or Y; probably not distracting at all. (I would, of course, validate the color mix by referencing a printed Postscript swatchbook.)
Or--depending on what kind of "grey" you want--simply coloring the text with a tint of one or two of the underlying CMY values and setting it to overprint (which, given the actual behavior, arguably should be called "Override", not "Overprint") may also "neutralize" the result to a "grey". For example, because the underlying fill you specify (10c20m50y) is orangeish, simply adding C would make it less saturated (more grey). So simply filling the text with 30c and setting it to overprint would serve to shift it to a warm gray without introducing K at all, and there would be no slivers whatsoever since in the resulting seps only one plate would be affected. The resulting gray would be a little darker than the background.
Or, you could fill the overprinting text with a K value (thereby creating a shade of the underlying color) and then add enough C to neutralize the color. Any resulting slivers would be position differences between C and K, which are the two darkest component inks anyway.
So no, overprinting grey is not necessarily a "no no." It depends on what you specifically mean by "grey." "Grey" simply means desaturated. It doesn't necesarily mean "tint of K."

Hi JET,
Thank you very much. I meant grey as % of K only, middle of the field. Size would be headline, as you rightfully assumed.
I appreciate your detailed response.
15. Re: OverprintingJETalmage Dec 17, 2011 11:29 AM (in response to sPretzel)
The basic principle is like this:
Apply a Stroke to the type twice the weight of the potential slivers. (i.e.; a 1 pt. stroke will create a half-point trap.)
Set the Stroke to overprint.
If the grey of the text is darker than the rear object, set the stroke to the same color as the rear object. This will effectively choke the text with the CMY of the rear object.
If the grey of the text is lighter than the rear object, set the stroke to the same %K as the text fill. This will effectively spread the %K of the text into the rear object.
In both cases, the text fill will knock-out the rear object.
In the first case, the CMY values will overprint a half-point inside the edges of the type.
In the second case, the K tint will overprint a half-point outside the edges of the type.
In both cases, the area of overprint will consist of the CMY values plus the K value of the type.
If you want to semi-automate this, see Trapping in online Help. If you apply a trap as an Effect, it will not display with Overprint Preview on. If you apply via the Pathfinder palette, it will not work on type that is not converted to paths. Using these features lets you distort the trap so that horizontal width is a percentage of vertical, for when you know that the registration is better/worse in the direction of the paper pass or perpendicular to it on a given press.
If the tone value of the text and the rear object are similar, I would build a grey out of CMY as described before, and not worry about slivers. This would most likely avoid an unwanted visible "outline" around the text.
I always just build my own traps manually. If you build traps into your file, be sure the printing house which images the separations is not using other software to auto-create traps.
16. Re: Overprinting[Jongware] Dec 17, 2011 11:33 AM (in response to sPretzel)
In addition to the above thourough descriptions: The behavior you were expecting is as if Overprint equals Transparency. As you see, they have entirely different purposes -- Overprint should mainly be used for special effects on the printing press (such as preventing visible misalignment).
17. Re: OverprintingCHMprepress Dec 19, 2011 2:42 AM (in response to sPretzel)
I think we should really forget overprint all together.
We are building everything with transparencies here, and the main reason for that is that there is real risk of getting unexpected results if you have overprint and transparencies applied on the same elements.
Overprint was a postscript thing now most all modern rips are pdf rips that are fully compatible to the Adobe transparencies.

I think we should really forget overprint all together....Overprint was a postscript thing now most all modern rips are pdf rips that are fully compatible to the Adobe transparencies.
Nonsense. The existence of so-called Transparency Modes does not obviate the need for overprinting. Overprinting is not just "a PostScript thing." It dates back to the beginning of offset lithography. A RIP's being able to interpret Transparency Modes in a PDF does not mean that you no longer need to use overprinting to build traps. For starters, consider: What would result if you tried to use Transparency Modes in lieu of overprinting on a job which involved a spot ink?
Yes, a Transparency Mode (Multiply) would address the first situation mentioned in the original post (a 10y fill added to an underlying 10m50y fill). That solution was proferred in post 6. But the followup questions seek to understand overprinting, using other scenarios.
A blunderbuss statement that suggests overprinting is no longer needed just because of the existence of Transparency Modes is horribly misleading.
19. Re: OverprintingCHMprepress Dec 19, 2011 5:35 AM (in response to JETalmage)
JET, we are using this all the time for packaging repro work and believe me we do a lot of it. We produce roughly 50.000 SKU's a year and deliver the final one up files to more than 500 packaging printers in 3 different printing processes around the world.
And we banned overprint and are using transparencies instead, thus avoiding costly mistakes by combining the 2 in the process.
So my advise is look into it and avoid it.
20. Re: OverprintingJETalmage Dec 19, 2011 5:52 AM (in response to CHMprepress)
I don't care how many packages you print in your particular environment. The fact that in your environment, you are not using overprinting still does not mean that overprinting is not needed in other environments.
Consider a typical 5-color sheet-fed product brochure. CMYK plus one logo-spec spot color. How are you going to trap the 5th color to underlying process art using nothing but a Transparency Mode?
Set up a simple test using the sample scenario from the original post (a 10y fill in front of a 10m50y fill). Set the front object to Multiply. Print seps. See if the result is, in fact, the stated desired result (60y).
21. Re: OverprintingCHMprepress Dec 19, 2011 5:56 AM (in response to JETalmage)
22. Re: OverprintingJETalmage Dec 19, 2011 6:37 AM (in response to CHMprepress)
So to build the trap you have added a second offset fill to knock out the underlying process and set the 5th color element to multiply instead of overprint. That is no less work than doing the same, but setting the 5th color fill to overprint, and the freelance designer doesn't have to worry about whether the setup at the local sheetfed printing house or silkscreen shop or sign shop fully supports Transparency Modes.
23. Re: Overprintingcanadacoaster Apr 11, 2012 2:20 PM (in response to sPretzel)
I would be satisfied if Illustrator would simply use the darkest of any stack of colors in an overprint zone.
For example, if you put 100C 50M on top of 100M 50Y, you would get 100C, 100M, 50Y. This would satisfy my overprint trapping needs.
Anyone care to expain an alternate method in the event I am unable to fix this problem I'm having that Adobe was not able to duplicate on their end? It's definitely a bug, (possibly related to CS5.5 on OSX Lion?).
24. Re: OverprintingCHMprepress Apr 11, 2012 11:27 PM (in response to canadacoaster)
canada if you put it in Multiply or Darken you would get the desired result.
25. Re: OverprintingDoug Katz Apr 12, 2012 7:41 AM (in response to CHMprepress)
So now I'm confused. Is it nonsense, as claimed, that overprinting can be eliminated in workflows like the ones discussed here, or is it merely that more modern, alternative methods are no less work? There's a significant difference between the two.
26. Re: Overprintingcanadacoaster Apr 12, 2012 8:07 AM (in response to CHMprepress)
Thanks CHM! I always prefer an actual solution over an apologist explanation! I'd rather that Illustrator handled this natively via overprint options, but this is a decent workaround.
27. Re: Overprintingcanadacoaster Apr 12, 2012 8:09 AM (in response to Doug Katz)
Until a press is invented that has consistently perfect registration, there will always be a need for trapping of some sort.
28. Re: OverprintingGraphicsGirl56 Mar 23, 2017 1:00 PM (in response to sPretzel)
I have the same issue. Mutliply transparency is not working for me.
I have a black register target (100% stroke) and a red spot colour (100% stroke) register target. I want them to overprint each other....it previews properly when I check my colour separations...but does not output through our RIP software (Kodak Prinergy) properly. Only the black register target shows up; the spot red target is gone.
The only fix that worked for me is outlining the stroke and overprinting the fill instead.

Did you contact the Prinergy support to check why there is a difference?
30. Re: OverprintingLuke Jennings Mar 24, 2017 7:34 AM (in response to GraphicsGirl56)
I cannot duplicate your issue through Prinergy (V7.5).
I suspect one of your Prinergy process plan settings is causing spot color multiply to be ignored.
If you are using .eps, that could also be a problem, use PDF instead.
I would change your registration target to the color "Registration", which will print in all colors used in the file.

Todays e-mail from deep space was this one.( I removed the actual name of place and person) to protect the impossible mission Hi Mark,I'm from (XXXXXX) Community Health Centers and we are co-hosting a national best practices meeting for community health centers in San Francisco on November 4-7. We are building our welcome baskets which includes local products and would love to include a one of your large mugs & business card in each basket.I was hoping you could put together a quote for us: 120 large mugs (color is negotiable) to see if we can fit it into our overall budget. signed Margret Pie and the sky coordinator Now I have seen about 30 of these in years past and none I repeat none have ever worked out.I have had them come out to the studio then write letters -now in todays world its e-mails from deep space. I have two upcoming shows in the next few weeks so this e-mail always comes in just before I have other commitments Some may get excited about cashing in on some big money-others may think what can I afford to sell these for(how low) and should I quit my part time job and just make mugs NOW. As I have only a few weeks to make this order Since I'm a full timer at this clay work my response has always been to answer with my usual price for my work times 120 equals the the final price plus in this case tax as well as its not a resale item. I sell my work for very resonable prices and will not let it go for less no matter what the request is-I have a wholesale price for a few galleries but this only applies to them as I do not wholesale to individuals in general ever. Now back to the request-mug size is not stated only large? is that 12 oz 14oz 16oz or maybe my 24oz or is it my 32oz??? color lets talk? I have 15 glazes currently going? I am not worried about making this order as these orders never happen-repeat never happen. Yes I could do this jump thru whatever hoops are tossed up but why? It never fits into the budget it never fits into a reasonable time frame-its always a pie in the sky. I answerd with my price and the fact that the time frame is real tight but I'm not to worried about any order as 99% will never follow through as the budget does not allow for it.

Over one hundred thousand snowboarders read every issue of TransWorld, and each of them had the opportunity to chime in on our annual Resort Poll.
Scores and rankings are based on 22 criteria�everything from the variety of jumps in the park to the terrain quality and whether or not a resort is a good value.
Pipe and Park scores make up two-thirds of the total because these elements are fundamental to any resort worth visiting. Terrain parks and pipes require big investments and constant maintenance, so even if you�re not particularly into hucking and jibbing, you can bet that a mountain with a top-ten park program also kills it in other areas.
The purpose of all this tabulating is singular: You deserve to know which resorts are worth your time and money. Start planning your vacation!�K.H.
For the full-length Top Ten Snowboard Resorts feature, check out the January issue of TransWorld SNOWboarding.
Best Overall Resort
Mammoth Mountain, California
More snow, terrain, and nightlife than you can shake a board at.
This makes sense. Last winter Mammoth experienced the second snowiest season on record with 607 inches of snowfall. It started off early and kept coming, allowing the resort to open in October and stay open through July�that�s a solid nine-plus months of quality shredding. Is it any wonder that Mammoth knocked Whistler/Blackcomb from its four-year-long reign as the Best Overall Resort? (Despite suffering through a freak winter without snow, Whistler still placed in the top three.)
The terrain at Mammoth is the definition of diverse. You can choose to do laps through the Unbound Main Park all day with the crowd of pro snowboarders, only switching it up to hit Unbound South. Or you can do the opposite, by heading up the gondola to the backside and dropping cliffs, slashing windlips, and powering through the trees. There�re long groomers, steep leg burners off the summit, Superpipes and Super Duper pipes, and jibby circuits down the runs. Whatever type of terrain you�re looking for, Mammoth has it�and with an average of 300 days of sunshine per year, you�ll even be able to see it all.
Snow and terrain will keep you stoked through the day, but it�s the two-year-old Intrawest Village that completes the experience. Just the convenience of waking up in the village, grabbing a Starbies, and loading onto the gondola without any of the hassles of driving and parking is enough of a benefit. But the Village also adds the final touches to make Mammoth a true destination resort�a variety of restaurants, nightclubs packed with cool kids, and a place to chill after shredding to get the vacation vibe rollin�.
The only way to get into Mammoth is the 395 drive�we�ll definitely see you on the road this winter.�Annie Fast

Park City, Utah
Twice is nice�Park City wins a title defense.
Park City, Utah has come up, snatching the much-coveted award for an unprecedented two years straight�again smoking the big guns of Mammoth and Whistler/Blackcomb. It�s quite an accomplishment for a resort that didn�t even crack the top ten a few years back. Word spreads quickly in snowboard circles, and a well thought out, perfectly maintained park system�along with the slick marketing of the Park City All Stars, featuring the likes of Shaun White and MFM, has placed it atop the heap for a repeat.
Let�s forget about the competition in Canada and California for a moment. On a local level, Park City has pulled the rug out from under �the local snowboarder reesorts,� Snowbird and Brighton, by creating world-class terrain features. P.C. effectively flipped the script, and now kids are hot lapping King�s Crown on the regular�only hitting up the other mountains on deep-powder days.
The front side of Park City showcases most of the snowpark goods: The King�s Crown Superpark is where the spons�ed kids ride�both kickers of consequence and advanced rail features abound. Next to King�s Crown lies the intermediate Payday Park that lights up after dark for evening jibs.
I usually start off across the way at the Pick �n� Shovel park, chock full of intermediate features to warm up on before heading over to King�s Crown. The Eagle Superpipe is right near Pick �n� Shovel, and it�s always presentable, if not near perfection. And finally, the beginner park, Jonesie�s, is located over on the east side of the mountain.�Dresser

Breckenridge, Colorado
Good Snow, Good Equipment, And A Little Bit Of Love.
You�d think that in this day and age of standardized pipe-cutters and solid snowmaking tactics that good halfpipes would be a dime a dozen�but they�re not. That�s because a halfpipe is more than the sum total of a snowcat with a transition arm and a big lump of snow. It�s finesse, it�s devotion, it�s love�it�s understanding things like snow consistency and trajectory angles and the mystery of weather patterns. And apparently, it�s what Breckenridge, Colorado has figured out.
Edging out last year�s Best Pipe winner Mammoth by nearly an entire point, Breckenridge made a huge impact on you, the riding public, this season with four (yep, four) halfpipes scattered across the span of its shreddable acreage�from the friendly, beginner-style transitions of the El Dorado Park, on up to the real-deal giant-ness of the Freeway Superpipe. Breck�s high altitude and dialed-in snowmaking mean that the resort is usually one of the first in its region to build a legitimate halfpipe, not to mention Superpipe, and it�s gained notoriety because of this. In fact, the Zaugg-cut Freeway pipe is where you�ll find former X-Games champ Steve Fisher and other locals like Chad Otterstrom and Todd Richards knocking the cobwebs off in November and December, or, come deeper winter, trying new tricks on one of their park-run hotlaps.
This coming season the Breckenridge Superpipe will play host to the inaugural Grand Prix Olympic qualifier from December 13�17, and with Team U.S.A. status at stake, you can count on seeing something you�ve never seen before�and then trying to pull it off yourself on those selfsame trannies when the event is over.�J.S.

#1 Avatar's James Cameron urges producers to embrace 3D TV05-13-2010, 12:56 PMAvatar's James Cameron urges producers to embrace 3D TV
Christine Kim
Thu May 13, 2010 10:36am
SEOUL (Reuters) - Director James Cameron, whose blockbuster "Avatar" set off a 3D frenzy in the movie industry, on Thursday told television producers to put aside their worries about higher filming costs and embrace the technology.
Manufacturers hope the technology will be as big a boost for the industry as the transition to color television from black and white, but growth is being restrained by high costs for content makers, leading to a dearth of programing.
Consumers who just paid major sums for new flat screen sets may not be ready for another major payment for 3D TVs when there is little to see in the format that requires special glasses for viewing, analysts said.
"(Big entertainment companies) can't be afraid to shoot in 3D because tens of thousands of people all over the world are shooting in 3D every day," Cameron said.
"We're going to have 3D TVs all around us ... and we're going to need thousands of hours of sports, comedy and music and all kinds of entertainment," he said at a technology forum in Seoul.
"Avatar", the highest-grossing film of all time, taking in more than $2 billion, was also reportedly one of the most expensive movies to make with a budget of at least $300 million due in part to its 3D filming.
Cameron said it would prove cost effective over the long run for TV producers to learn how to shoot in 3D instead of trying to convert existing 2D content to the format.

England to look at selection - Cook
Alastair Cook admitted England would have to reflect on the selection of their side after succumbing to a nine-wicket loss against India in the first Test in Ahmedabad.
England's bowling attack, with three frontline seamers and one specialist spinner, looked ill-suited for a Test played on a low, slow wicket, with the seamers claiming 1 for 254 in the match.
Their batsmen also struggled and, in eight innings between them, England's middle-order of Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell and Samit Patel contributed just 68 runs. By contrast, Cheteshwar Pujara scored 247 runs in the match without being dismissed and India's two spinners claimed 13 wickets between them.
While Cook admitted the problem, in part, was simply that several players had underperformed, he also conceded that the team management would have to reconsider the make-up and balance of the side ahead of the second Test which begins in Mumbai on Friday.
"Clearly we're going to have to look at our selection," Cook said. "There are some good people making decisions in this England team and we thought we were doing the right thing for the side. The result showed we might have got it wrong. When you get beaten by nine wickets, you have a look at a lot of areas and we have to look at what we could have done better. There will be a lot to ponder. We'll have to look at our squad for the next game."
The omission of left-arm spinner Monty Panesar has been highlighted as a key error by many critics but Cook felt the failure of England's batting line-up in the first innings was more of an issue. He refuted any suggestion that England had been underprepared, but accepted that they would require far more of the team to contribute if they were to fight their way back in the series.
"Our batting, especially in the first innings, didn't deliver enough runs," Cook said. "I thought it was a very good cricket wicket. There was a little bit in it for the spinners, but if you applied yourself with the bat it held together probably better than we thought it would. It was turning, yes. But runs were able to be had out there, as we showed in our second innings.
"If we're going to win out here, everyone in the game has to contribute. We need everyone to stick their hands up at certain times. The lads who haven't performed as well as they would have liked in this game will be very disappointed. We showed a lot of character in that second half of the game. There are a lot of quality players in that dressing-room, with very good records who have scored hundreds against every attack in the world. They didn't deliver in this game, and they know that. The middle order didn't score enough runs. Everyone has to have a look at themselves if we want to take something out of this series."
The defeat means England have lost five out of six Tests in Asian conditions this year, leaving Cook to agree that mental scars might be as large an impediment to progress as technical deficiencies. "I'd say it's a bit of both. Clearly, there are always technical issues before the mental ones kick in. We're doing the right things. It's now getting it right out in the middle and trusting our method there. We can only continue working as hard as we are doing, and I can't fault the lads for that. It's a case of working as hard as we can in the nets, and trusting our method out in the middle."
Cook also said the result had soured the memory of one of his finest innings. "I'm very happy with the way I batted," he said. "To score any hundred for England is very special and to score one in that situation probably made it even more special for me.
"Technically, it might have been a good innings. But you always get more satisfaction when you do it in a winning cause or to save a game. Maybe the 230 in Brisbane, in a similar match situation, is a better innings. But the result is what really matters and we weren't good enough over the five days to win. I'd have been even prouder if I'd survived and dragged a draw out of it. I'm bitterly disappointed."

Fianna Fail, which has been the governing party either on its own or in coalition for 58 year since Eamon de Valera abolished the Oath of Allegiance to the British king in 1932, is continuing to lose public support and is falling further behind Sinn Fein.
Now pressure is on party leader Micheal Martin at this weekend's annual convention to become more aggressive as the party flounders in opposition.
Despite being hammered in the general election a year ago, Fianna Fail remains the biggest party in Opposition with 19 TDs (members of Parliament) compared with 14 for Sinn Fein and 20 for independents and others.
But a Sunday Times opinion poll this week registered a drop in public support for Fianna Fail of 4%, leaving the party at a support rate of 16%. Sinn Fein went up four points to 25%, a figure if reflected in the next general election would put Sinn Fein way ahead of Fianna Fail.
The behavior and attitudes poll for the newspaper indicated that Sinn Fein have the backing of one quarter of the electorate, putting it firmly in second place behind Fine Gael which rules in coalition with Labor.
A year ago Ireland went to the polls for what turned out to be one of the most dramatic general elections in decades.
Fianna Fail's 70-year dominance of Irish politics came to an end, while Fine Gael, Labor and Sinn Fein all won their highest-ever number of seats.
Since the previous Sunday Times poll in December, just after the budget, support for Fine Gael has gone up by two points to 32%. Support for their coalition partners Labor has dipped by one point to 10%.
Satisfaction with Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny, who heads Fine Gael, is down three points to 41%, while Tanaiste (deputy prime minister) Eamon Gilmore of Labor dropped one to 34%.
Fianna Fail's Martin went down a substantial seven points to 33%, while Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams is down two to 46%. He is still the highest rated of any party leader.
This weekend, Martin faces enormous pressure from frustrated members to become less cautious in tackling the Fine Gael/Labor coalition.
Internal critics claim the party is "hamstrung," "over-cautious" and needlessly clinging on to policies when it was in government just over a year ago under former Taoiseach Brian Cowen.
The party's public spending spokesman Sean Fleming said, "Everything has moved on. The economy has moved on, our policies haven't moved on."
It is Martin's first annual conference as leader, and has been described as one of the most crucial in the beleaguered party's 86-year history.
Meanwhile, Fianna Fail has made a written complaint to the director general of state broadcaster RTE that news and current-affairs programs at the station are "clearly biased" in favor of Labor and Sinn Fein.
In the 12-page document, seen by the Sunday Independent, Fianna Fail said it "appears clear" that there had been a "radical, unilateral and unexplained" change in the manner in which RTE covered the views of the opposition.
RTE has rejected the accusation of "bias" and said it took "very seriously the responsibility to be even-handed."
