text: Hi All, This is version 3 of a patch set that adds support for running the V4e ColdFire cores with their MMU enabled. Not a whole lot of change from version 2. Changes include: . rebased onto 3.2-rc5 . additional acked-by's . change of TASK_MAPPED_BASE (as per advice from Jin Zhengxiong) . make kmap and vmalloc areas bigger This patch set is based on 3.2-rc5 with all the recent patches I have sent here applied first. It is available as a git tree for easier testing, just pull this tree, with the cfmmu branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gerg/m68knommu.git cfmmu Some of the code in this set is taken from Freescales 2.6.25 kernel support of MMU ColdFire. I have contacted Kurt Mahan and Matt Wadell (two of the people from Freescale who originally worked on this) and they have had a look over it. I have also let Freescale know about this current work. If there is no out-standing concerns with this I would like to throw it into linux-next to get some testing there.

Nan Phillips Dichroic Art Glass and Figurative Sculpture
Art Glass Sculpture
Artist Murray Stein's wood sculpture of string instruments honoring Schubert's Trout Quintet containing Nan Phillips' dichroic glass "trout" pieces.
The sculpture is hanging at the Strathmore Music Center in Maryland.
Dedicated at a ceremony
in 2010
"Blue Lagoon" - Not for Sale
Double-sided Art Glass Centerpiece
Commissioned Work
Private Collection in Denver - Sold
"Earth, Wind and Fire" - Double-sided
by Nan Phillips and Stephen Potter
Created for the HCG Gallery, Dallas
Texas Sculpture Association
Juried Exhibition
Stephen Potter came to me with the already-created steel sculpture, and the desire to have glass included in the openings. Together we devised a theme for the piece. I then created two panels for each opening, making the piece double-sided.
Each glass panel went through multiple firings, both full and tack-fused, to create glass with depth and texture.
The glass was tack-fused, then slumped over a hand-made,
single-use mold. The piece stands on its own glass base.
"Neriad - Water Nymph"
Created by taking a casting of the face of one of my figurative sculptues, then creating 4 ring molds of differing widths;
The mold material was then fired, sanded, and the mold pieces stacked with the face in the center.
When the dichroic and clear glass "blank" was slumped into the mold, it created 3-dimensional plate - the face of Neriad, the Water Nymph coming up out of the water.
This piece was created with the specific intention of telling a story:
Life ebbs and flows;
Every day offers a window of opportunity.
Life Hangs in the Balance.
The pieces were tack-fused, then slumped over a hand-made, single-use mold.

Imagine: You are my subject. I am your King.
As a member of a gay nature/affinity group in the Land of Panglonymous, which would you have me dictate in the state schools first:
- That the historical contributions of ALL exceptional Panglonymans be conveyed regardless of their intrinsic natures or affinities.
-That the fundamental nature of the world, our Kingdom and its peoples be expressed as accurately as possible - with non-Panglonyman interpretations considered equally.
You must choose one or the other in this benevolent dictatorship (I reduce things to the binary before presenting my subjects with a choice.)
Also: It is probable that the alternative not chosen will not be realized in your lifetime.
So choose wisely, countrymen. And Pan bless.

State Rep. Stacey Campfield: 'I'm special'
Republican state Rep. Stacey Campfield of Knoxville says he parked his car up on the Tennessee Capitol sidewalk with the hazard lights blinking because he was late for the House floor session. -- More.
Did he have his mask and Capt. Arrogant cape on?

UPDATE II: Now that the filing deadline has passed, I suppose we'll have to keep our eyes peeled for any anti-sidewalk caption bills.

Horsing Around in Old Montreal
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. With all the snow and wintery conditions in Europe this past weekend I'm a little hesitant to tell you that it was very Spring like in Toronto yesterday. So much so that I headed down to the Lakeshore yesterday for some sunset shots. I'm working on processing them and will share a little later in the week.
In the mean time I was going back through my archives and I was surprised that I hadn't posted this shot. I shot this last August while strolling through Old Montreal.
Old Montreal, which is located along the St. Lawrence River is the oldest area in the City of Montreal, dating back to New France in the mid-1600s. In 1964 it was declared a historic district by the Ministère des Affaires culturelles du Québec.
Today its cobblestoned streets are lined with galleries and restaurants and in the summer it comes alive with street performers. If you didn't know any better you'd think you were walking through a small town in Europe.

This is an excellent reason to look through the older images Edith. Great composition, details and textures. I really like the selective color too.
February 6, 2012 at 8:09 am
What a great scene, Edith! Love the processing on this. The SC works quite well. :-)
February 6, 2012 at 8:46 am
I dig this. That horse looks so….bored.
February 6, 2012 at 9:43 am
Very cool selective coloring. I dig it!
February 6, 2012 at 11:38 am
Beautiful touch of color.
February 6, 2012 at 12:10 pm
Clever use of the selective color, Edith. The red in the fire hydrant and rope really offset what looks to be an old postcard really well. You have also caught the perfect moment with the horse's head turned.
February 6, 2012 at 1:32 pm
I like your use of selective color. Works really well in this scene.
February 6, 2012 at 2:29 pm
Love the B&W here Edith, awesome use of SC as well!
February 6, 2012 at 3:16 pm
great use of SC Edith, wonderful shot and I love Old Montreal!!
February 6, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Nice details and contrast in this shot.
February 6, 2012 at 3:55 pm
Wow! What a beautiful photo with a touch of color that I didn't notice at first. Lovely image!
February 6, 2012 at 8:23 pm
Beautiful shot Edith! Great capture!
February 6, 2012 at 8:53 pm
Edith, I dig the selective color here!! Well done!
February 7, 2012 at 7:03 am
I just was up in Montreal last month to take photos and meet up with my friend and fellow photographer Ken Kaminesky (if you haven't already Google him to be amazed). I havn't posted any of my shots from the trip yet, but I did post a quick and informal interview with Ken about "When to shoot HDR" while we had dinner at Taverne Gaspar in Old Montreal. I've linked to the post if you're interested.
Great shots and I'm glad I found your site! Looking forward to more photos from you in the future.
February 7, 2012 at 11:49 am
Very nice Edith. Your selective use of color does not distract from the composition but adds just enough contrasting tonality to make the shot interesting. Well done!
February 7, 2012 at 12:24 pm
Awww, this is so sweet! I love the position of the horse, the detail in the carriage, the architecture in the background and the added touch of selective colour. Nicely done Edith!
February 9, 2012 at 8:42 pm
Wonderful images Edith! I really like the SC. Great job!
February 9, 2012 at 10:34 pm
Very cool photo Edith and your processing made it even more fun!

Takayasu's Arteritis
What Is It?
Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic (long-term) disease in which arteries become inflamed. It is also known as Takayasu's aortitis, pulseless disease and aortic arch syndrome. The name comes from the doctor who first reported the problem in 1905, Dr. Mikito Takayasu.
In most cases, Takayasu's arteritis targets the aorta and its major branches, including arteries to the brain, arms and kidneys. The aorta is the body's main artery, which pumps oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Less frequently, the pulmonary artery and coronary arteries also are involved. This problem causes damage to the body's major organs; reduced or absent pulses in the arms and legs; and symptoms of poor circulation, such as a cool or cold arm or leg, muscle pains with use or exertion, or symptoms of stroke if brain arteries are narrowed or blocked. Over time, Takayasu's arteritis can cause scarring, narrowing and abnormal ballooning of involved blood vessels. The disease can be fatal.
Although the cause of Takayasu's arteritis is unknown, it may be an autoimmune disorder, meaning that immune defenses attack the body's own cells rather than protecting them from outside invaders.
In Asia, Takayasu's arteritis is a major cause of high blood pressure in teenagers and young adults. In North America and Europe, however, Takayasu's arteritis is a very rare illness that affects only 2 or 3 of every 1 million people every year. It is 8 times more common in females than in males. Although 75 percent of people begin to have symptoms during their teenage years, the average age at which the problem is diagnosed is usually much later at age 29. This is because early symptoms of Takayasu's arteritis are more general and common, such as fatigue. Up to 96 percent of people are not diagnosed until they have later, more specific symptoms.

This article provides guidance for diagnosing and remedying connection problems to CrashPlan Central.
There are a few ways you can tell if you're having trouble connecting to CrashPlan Central.
If you're backing up to CrashPlan Central, you'll see a grey circle next to CrashPlan Central in the application. If you're a Windows user, your system tray icon will be grey. You might also see the error message CrashPlan Authority is Unavailable, which means CrashPlan is unable to connect to CrashPlan Central.
In all cases, the most common cause is that your computer's network or Internet connection has experienced a brief interruption or slowdown of service. This is especially true on wireless networks.
CrashPlan currently does not support connecting from behind Internet proxies. If your current location requires you to log in to a web page or if you have to enter special proxy settings in your web browser to get to the Internet, then you will not be able to use CrashPlan at that location.
Are you able to connect to outside websites? Can you browse to www.crashplan.com? If you're on a wireless network, how strong is your signal? See our Network Troubleshooting guide for more information.
If you're logging into the CrashPlan application or creating a new account and receive the "authority unavailable" message, try submitting the login form again.
Some software firewalls are built into the operating system (e.g. Windows Firewall, SELinux, Apple Firewall) and some are third party applications you install yourself (e.g. Norton Internet Security, Little Snitch, etc.). Things like operating system updates can affect the firewall's behavior.
Check the software firewall or security software to make sure your rules allow CrashPlan to connect out. You may need to consult the 3rd party's documentation for instructions on allowing applications or connections. CrashPlan uses TCP port 443 to connect to CrashPlan Central.
If there is already a firewall rule allowing CrashPlan, try removing and recreating the firewall rule.
If the above troubleshooting suggestions do not help you resolve the issue, please contact our Customer Champion team for further assistance.
Include the following information in your request to help our Customer Champions diagnose the issue faster:

Workshop: Nanotech-Biology Interface
The Center for Science, Technology & Public Policy at the Humphrey Institute of the University of Minnesota will host a workshop on September 15, 2005 to explore and evaluate models for the oversight of nanotechnology, with a focus on nanoparticles that are used in or derived from biological systems.-http://www.hhh.umn.edu/centers/stpp/nanotechnology.html
Nanotechnology; morever, *technology has always been a fascinating subject. And with my newfound interest in oncology and cancer research, the biological aspect of it seems very intriguing. Not only will there be speakers overviewing nanotech in "biological systems", but there will also be discussions pertaining to the moral, ethical, and legal aspects pertaining to the nature of this scientific research. I admit that I, like many other scientists I know, am not too crazy about this subject. I like science, and think that researching cures for diseases that will last for the rest of our species' existence is much more humantarian than being too afraid of the moral repercussions to touch the issue. But then, the only reason why bioethics fuels such a hot debate is because there are valid points of argument to each side. So I digress.
I'm in a bit of a jam because some of the workshop conflicts with my school schedule. I actually considered emailing my Physics and Math professors (as they are the ones whose courses I would miss) about it, and see if I could afford missing their classes for a day as they are only discussion blocks. Needless to say, this workshop will be spectacular and I anticipate it with much eagerness.

Blog Host Catfight
I am trying really hard to conjure up enough thoughts to justify posting on here, while still retaining consistency on my other blog. Right now, LiveJournal is responsible for publishing what I write on my personal life, whereas I have just been using this blog to mess around and get things ready for if and when I "make the transition" from one host to the next. But I have been commited to LJ for about three years running, and I'm not sure I want to give up my habitual posting there. So, a couple of choices emerge. I could write all of my university-related experiences here, and keep LJ for the miscellaneous trifles. Or, I could do that, but cross-post into my LJ accout what I have written here. Or I could just give up a journal all together, only having to worry about the one I chose to keep (the victor of that contest would be LiveJournal, as I still wish to belong to a community). However, one thing is for certain: I won't quit writing. Even if half the posts are painfully egotistical and completely trivial to everyone else on the internet, I will continue to write.
August 13, 2005
Once again displeased with the way things looked on here, I decided to go on a hackfest. This time around, my syndication/verification buttons have been molded.
Since the W3C verification buttons suck big eggs, I decided I would go with a thin, sleek look. And thanks to Adam Kalsey's Button Maker tool, I could make an Antipixel-esqe banner, but still retain some sort of theme I'm going for on my blog.
Granted, I know these features won't be used very much. But it's more of a principle
of vanity in making one's content ćsthetically pleasing and presentable... without the big, blocky icons.

Theme Adjustments
Dissatisfied with the default style UMNlib gave me, I decided to do some CSS styling, trying to have some sort of 'theme' attached... ergo the maroon-gold University colours.
The hex code for my "golden" sidebar is #FFFFC4, and it's lighter than what the conventional gold is (perhaps, #FFCC33; taken from an HTML colour wheel), because it's a website background and not a bright banner; albeit, still not quite what I had in mind.
I can also say that it was a lot of fun having to go in and change all the default backgrounds from #FFF (shorthand white) to a nothing so they would inherit the underlying background color... that is to say everything becomes that shade off-gold.
On the bright side, there are the maroon anchor tags (hex: #003366) which don't look too bad. But other than that, I'm pretty thematically-challenged

Most of us are familiar with the usual winter suspects: snow, sleet, freezing rain and ice. But what in the world is graupel?
Graupel starts as snow, but its final form is a slushy pellet.
As snowflakes encounter supercooled water droplets, ice crystals form instantly on the outside of the snow. In a process called accretion, these ice crystals will form one on top of the other until the snowflake is completely encased in a rime coating.
Typically, graupel pellets have a diameter of less than five millimeters, but they can be as large as a quarter.
It is easy to confuse graupel with sleet or hail. Look closely at the pellets and you will find a subtle difference. Sleet pellets and hailstones are hard all the way to the center and they will bounce when they fall to the ground. Graupel is much softer. It usually falls apart when touched.

Posted Wednesday, September 12, 2012 --- 8:55 a.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A judge is allowing some incriminating statements of a woman accused of killing a pregnant woman and then trying to steal her unborn baby.
Attorneys for Annette Morales-Rodriguez argued the interrogation was improper and the statements last fall should be suppressed. A detective had questioned her in an emergency room without a warning of her right to remain silent.
A judge ruled Tuesday the statements should be allowed under a public welfare or emergency rescue exception, even though Morales-Rodriguez was a suspect in custody.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports (http://bit.ly/RJUYQi) a detective previously testified he asked Morales-Rodriguez "What's going on?" She then allegedly volunteered that she was sorry about the girl, which prompted him to ask questions in case a victim might still be saved.
Her trial starts next week.

This is what I call a "throw away" post. I'm frustrated, venting, and sharing the pain of Family History Dementia (FHD for short)
Just for fun I looked up the symptoms of dementia on the Geriatric Care Management site :
"Dementia" refers to a large cluster of symptoms. These symptoms include: short-term memory loss, poor judgment, difficulty performing familiar tasks, etc. When a person develops these symptoms, it is often a sign that something is wrong inside the brain."
Yeah. Something's wrong inside my brain. I'm looking at records of people who I researched months ago and feeling like we're meeting for the first time.
Have you ever been to a party or large gathering of people when you are in a really spacey frame of mind, only you don't know you are until you've been introduced to a handful of people, and realize you've been daydreaming about the buffet table treats when someone calls you by your first name and you spend the next few minutes racking your brain for the memory of theirs?
If you have you might understand how I feel. Even though I only have about 800 people in my records, and I work on one family at a time, I'm having a hard time remembering their stories. And I want to remember. I like them. They entertain me. The feeling's mutual I think.
"Did not, Lester! I NEVER went to China!" insisted Stella. "Remember we resolved that the LAST time she was here? Same-Name-Syndrome?"
"Well then," Lester asked, "why does she keep bringing it up? I'm all confused"
"I want to hear your story unfold again," Olga huffed. "I'm still trying to figure out why you left me and the kids for HER!"
"Listen, Dear. You thought I was dead. At least for a while you did. That story would have held, too if she hadn't kept looking. Dad? Why on earth would you leave such a good paper trail? But if she puts me on one more ship. Gads! I'm so seasick. Who cares when I died? Just keep my feet on land."
So, back to the file folder. Back to the family group record where I try to remember what I already knew. It doesn't matter that it's all written down on a timeline. All of my research has to be researched again. I feel like my children must feel when we take them to visit my father in the nursing home.
"Hey! You're Lauren. Right?"
"No. I'm Madeleine."
"Which one's Kyle and which is Connor?"
"That's Kenny, the bigger one. James is the little one. The other two couldn't come."
We collectively turn our attention to the Crocodile Hunters that are on the tv across from his bed as we help him to remember who loves baseball, is married, going to college, living with Grandma, and which one is in high school middle school,and grammar school? Is James ever going to nursery school? Why is Kenny's hair still blonde? Any more grand-babies coming from me, or great grand-babies from my daughter?
It's all good, we all laugh and have fun sharing and correcting when necessary. We'll push "repeat" next week.
Unlike our little group visiting my dad, my ancestors are getting very tired of repeating themselves. I think they'd like a bit of an adventure instead.
All in good time people. First I have to remember who you are.
Have any tips for remembering your people easily? I'd appreciate some help!

When Kansas University running back Brandon Bourbon showed up for spring practice a couple of months ago, he knew right where the locker room was, needed no help finding the training room and even had a pretty good idea of what the schedule would look like for those 15 practices in March that often mean so much to a college football team.
Not bad for a fourth-year player who had yet to go through a full spring before.
"You know what, it really does seem weird considering my first one I got knocked out early and last year they didn't let me do any contact," said Bourbon reflecting on the start of his injury-riddled KU career. "So it kind of is my first one."
From the day he arrived in Lawrence as a four-star prospect from Potosi, Mo., who chose the Jayhawks over an offer from Stanford, Bourbon has had trouble cracking the lineup and staying healthy. Despite the injuries and setbacks and the frustration that came with both, Bourbon enters his fourth season as a Jayhawk with perhaps his brightest outlook yet.
"My mindset? I just have to believe that I'm the best back on the team," Bourbon said. "Even though it hasn't looked like it from the amount of time I've played, I have to think like that and play like that when I get my chances and try to increase my role."
That's easier said that done, especially when he has watched teammates James Sims, Tony Pierson, Taylor Cox and the returning Darrian Miller do a bang-up job on the field in his place. Bourbon knows that. But self-confidence has never been an issue for the 6-foot-1, 225-pound back.
"I don't think it is hard," said Bourbon of continuing to believe he can compete. "Maybe when you're sitting out and not involved. But when you're actually getting in there and having some success, you're like, 'OK, I'm the guy. Let's just convince everybody else and we'll be good.' A lot of that is beyond my control, obviously. I can't do anything about my ankle getting stuck in the turf. I just have to stay positive, which I believe I've done, and keep the confidence level as high as I can so when I get that chance and I get my reps in practice, I can show 'em what I can do."
There have been moments when Bourbon has done just that. Highlight touchdown runs in each of the past two seasons — both against Texas Tech, coincidently — have put his rare blend of power and speed on display, but injuries have kept those moments from becoming the norm. Despite the disappointments and missed opportunities, Bourbon enters 2013 brimming with the belief that the best is still ahead for him.
"I know exactly what I'm doing so I can play fast and not really have to think," he said.
As luck would have it, Bourbon said sitting out may be the biggest factor in having his confidence level at an all-time high.
"I feel like I'm at least right with everybody else," he said. "I feel confident that I know everything the most. Part of it was sitting out in the spring. I'm not doing it so I'm sitting there watching everybody doing it, watching every mistake and every correction. And then part of it is just the time that I've put into studying it."
With his mental edge sharp and ready, Bourbon knows he must conquer his physical challenges before any of the rest matters. For that he leans on strength coach Scott Holsopple and, together, the two are making progress.
"I feel better than I've ever felt," Bourbon said toward the end of spring drills. "I feel strong. I feel fast. Credit to Holsopple. He will get you right."
With Sims, Miller, Cox, Bourbon and Spencer at RB I'd like to see Tony Peirson play almost exclusively at WR this season.
Ditto, and on kick returns. He is our Tavon Austin, our Locket and that's how the other teams use the speedsters.
Your speculation about Pierson sounds correct to me. All I can say is that with all the stiff competition for running back Bourbon has his work cut out for him.
Though Bourbon has played sparingly, I would rate what I have seen as the 5th best ball-carrying option on the team. I certainly sympathize with his injury history and wish the kid no ill-will...but with Darian back...I'm not sure how Bourbon gets in a game.
I love this running back unit. It's the best in the Big XII and may even be the best in the nation, top to bottom.
Now, it's great to have these guys, but my concern is the O-line. It would be an injustice if our great RB's can't get past their own linemen. I'm hoping the juco influx has a big impact, but if not then the backs may have to open the holes for each other to run through.
(BTW, SI.com stinks.)
kid has been an extreme disappointment.
Your comments are always an extreme disappointment. You must be a miserable person.
Well, John Wayne playing Rooster Cogburn was certainly an extreme disappointment. Just ask Charles Portis.
good lord Reuben -- that's pretty harsh. This young man has faced some tough injury struggles. Given that he's performed well when able, and he's showing the right mental toughness in making a push for playing time this year, I think he's an inspiration and someone we should respect.
I think Bourbon could have a very big year. Ignoring the fact he coughed up the ball, he looked really good in the the Spring game. He ran downhill better and did a better job of hitting the holes than I've ever seen from him. His combination of size and speed is tough on defenses, and I think we could see him break some huge runs this year. I also think he will be more durable after a year and a half with Holsopple. Gotta love our running backs!
enough with these stupid questions on every story...I am about to quit coming to this site; and I have been coming to kusports.com since the early 2000's. As to Bourbon I really am looking forward to him having a big big year this year which I think can lead to even bigger things next year.
You're complaining about having free KU sports articles? How do expect Matt to be paid? Oh wait I forgot he is pro bono.
Pretty sure all those annoying ads generate revenue, and that some portion of that revenue goes to Matt.
I think sports4life was being sarcastic.
Agree! For me it's not so much about the irritation of answering questions (although that's certainly annoying). It's more about the further erosion of my privacy. I'm not willing to help Google populate their profile on me just so I can get my KU Sports fix. And if you believe Google isn't associating your survey response with your Google profile then your a lot more trusting than I am. Very disappointed that the LJW has sold out like this.
Atl, I would call myself computer sufficient, but definitely not computer proficient. There are times that I access KUSports.com from random computers and don't enter my username. How would Google be tracking my profile in that case? Or, even if I am at my home computer but I'm not logged in for some reason? If anyone else wants to chime in please feel free.
As to the ads/surveys themselves, they are annoying, but it only takes about 10 seconds to click a response and get the full article, so if it keeps the site free and the quality level of the content up, then it seems a small price to pay.
In that scenario you mentioned - accessing the site from a random computer, and not being logged in - I believe the chances of them being able to identify you are very small. In my case, however, I have to be logged into Google for my job, so it is very easy to identify me. I may be unusual in that sense. In other cases, even when you aren't logged into Google, they can sometimes use cookies to figure out who you are.
In general I agree that the inconvenience seems like a small price to pay. This morning, however, I was presented with a survey that was very specific to the type of work I do, and that alarmed me. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but if this starts to feel like an interrogation then I'm going to get chased away.
Thanks for the insight. I've had questions about vacations, buying a home appliance, and something else pretty random, so I'm not sure if they are completely random or are trying to narrow things down based on specific users.
For what it's worth, I am comfortable with the privacy issue now. Did some of my own research and am confident Google is not associating survey responses to particular people. I think they do aggregate the data based on inferred demographic information (gender, age, region), but do not save any identifying data. Also, despite the occasional alarming coincidence, the types of surveys that popup appear to be completely random. In short, I have done a 180 on this issue. I should have done a little research before posting my knee-jerk reaction. It's the new reality, and I just have to get used to it. Thanks for your replies.
They aren't on "every story", at least not for me. The first story of the day. It isn't that much of an inconvenience.
I think if HCCW is really going to give the 2 back formation a shot & Bourbon can learn to flatten some people when he's not carrying the ball, he'll get a good shot & we'll see him light it up out there. His combination of speed & power will really help keep the defense on their heels. Stay healthy kid!!
Glad we have this guy for two more seasons of football. He has pushed through his injuries and I think that light at the end of the tunnel he has been working hard towards is going to smack some defenses in the face this year.
I am so fired up for football season. Work hard this summer Hawks!
I agree. While Bourbon may make an impact this year, I think he really has a chance to shine next year. Sims and Cox will be gone and I think Pierson will become more of a hybrid back/wide reciever over time to try and get him into open space. That wil leave Miller and Bourbon as the only two returnees with significant experience and there should be more opportunities. If Bourbon can stay healthy, he can be a beast.
Hudy and Holsopple. We need to keep them both!
I still say a triple option with Bourban and Pierson would be dynamite. Really like his attitude. Hope he gets more reps. I think he is as good as anyone in our backfield and the toughest one to stop.
I would like to see the staff RS Taylor Cox so that we can utilize everyone. The other RBs have already burned their RS and so this will be the most effecitve way to utilize everyone's talents for as long as we can.
Question is: Will Cox be cool with taking a RS?
Tait, any thoughts?
Any news on the Jenkins-Moore ACL?
No to redshirting Cox. We need that schollie for someone else. We already have enough RBs.
When I talked to Reggie Mitchell at the alumni gathering here in Chicago he told me he thought Cox was a legit NFL talent.
No need for us to waste that talent on the sideline with a crowded backfield. If we RS him, Sims will have graduated and we will be able to utilize his talents. As it stands, there are not enough carries to go around.
This much I've learned about Taylor Cox in the short time I've known him... He is one heck of a nice guy and the ultimate team player. If they ask him to red-shirt (a) for the good of the team and (b) so he can get more playing time, I would think he'd do it without thinking twice.
As for the Jenkins-Moore injury rumors, I've mentioned before that no one will comment on them and that's still the case. My best guess as of today is that he is injured in some manner but that he won't be out for the season.
That's purely a guess on my part, though, based on what little info I've been able to gather.
Thanks for the feedback, Matt! Wanted to ask you; what are your thoughts on Ben Goodman? See him being a big drop off from Martin?
Big might be overstating it just because I think Goodman can play and is primed for a couple of big seasons.... But Martin was a future NFL guy so the drop-off will certainly be there.
59 days. CAN'T WAIT!
Here's hoping that Bourbon's confidence will translate into a few more Jayhawk victories. He and his teammates have suffered enough the last 3-4 years, and we the fans have suffered enough as well.
So did Marcus Jenkins-Moore tear his ACL or not?
As much as I like this kid's attitude, he has done virtually nothing since coming to KU. Four star recruit? He will be lucky to get 100 yards all season.
He had a total of 41 rushing yards last season.
Doesn't he have the highest yards per carry?
3.4 yards per carry.
That must have been his sophomore year. I think his freshman year was much better.
God I hope this kid can stay healthy. I want to see what he has.
I know Bourbon was used as a FB at times and am curious if he would be the starting FB this year. Would be a great way to use his straight line speed and blocking skills in addition to his receiving skills.
Nice guy, but he won't be getting time with the level of rb's on this squad.

The D Programming Language
As a rule, D uses exceptions for error handling as opposed to error codes. D uses the try-catch-finally model for exceptions, which allows cleanup code to be inserted conveniently in the finally block. For those cases when the finally block is insufficient, scope statements come in quite handy.
Like any object-oriented language, D has the ability to create object classes. One major difference is the lack of a virtual keyword, unlike with C++. This is handled automatically by the compiler. D uses a single-inheritance paradigm, relying on interfaces and mixins, which are discussed later to fill in the gaps. Classes are passed by reference rather than by value, so the programmer doesn't have to worry about treating it like a pointer. Furthermore, there is no -> or :: operator; the . is used in all situations to access members of structs and classes. All classes derive from Object, the root of the inheritance hierarchy:
class MyClass { int i; char[] str; void doSomething() { ... }; }
Classes can have defined properties by having multiple functions with the same name:
class Person { private char[] PName; char[] name() {return PName;} void name(char[] str) { // do whatever's necessary to update any // other places where the name is stored PName = name; } }
Classes can have constructors and destructors, namely this and ~this:
class MyClass { this() { writefln("Constructor called");} this(int i) { writefln("Constructor called with %d", i); } ~this() { writefln("Goodbye");}
Classes have access to the constructors of their base class:
this(int i) { super(1, 32, i); // super is the name of the // base class constructor }
Classes can be declared inside other classes or functions, and they have access to the variables in that scope. They also can overload operators, such as comparison, to make working with them more obvious, as in C++.
Classes can have invariants, which are contracts that are checked at the end of constructors, before destructors and before public members, but removed when compiling for release:
class Date { int day; int hour; invariant { assert(1 <= day && day <= 31); assert(0 <= hour && hour < 24); } }
To check whether two class references are pointing to the same class, use the is operator:
MyClass c1 = new MyClass; MyClass c2; if(c1 is c2) writefln("These point to the same thing.");
An interface is a set of functions that any class deriving from it must implement:
interface Animal { void eat(Food what); void walk(int direction); void makeSound(); }
In D, there is no inline keyword—the compiler decides which functions to inline, so the programmer doesn't even have to worry about it. Functions can be overloaded—that is to say, two functions with the same name can take different parameters, but the compiler is smart enough to know which one you're talking about:
void func(int i) // can implicitly take // longs and shorts too {...} void func(char[] str) {...} void main() { func(23); func("hello"); }
Function parameters can be either in, out, inout or lazy, with in being the default behavior. Out parameters are simple outputs:
void func(out int i) { I += 4; } void main() { int n = 5; writefln(n); func(n); writefln(n); }
inout parameters are read/write, but no new copy is created:
void func(inout int i) { if(i >= 0) .. else .. }
Lazy parameters are computed only when they are needed. For example, let's say you called a function like this:
log("Log: error at "~toString(i)~" file not found.");
Notice that every time you call it, the strings are concatenated and passed to the function. The lazy storage class means that the strings are put together only if they are called upon, increasing performance and efficiency. Nested functions in D allow the nesting of functions within other functions:
void main() { void func() { .. } }
Nested functions have read/write access to the variables of the enclosing function:
void main() { int i; void func() { writefln(i + 1); } }
What a badly designed language
I can't see any better than C/C++ or Python.
the "~" concatenating operator is ugly than any other language,
the gc makes it not a pure compiling language.
It's pure compiling
It's pure compiling language! "~" is used becouse, "+" means addition, not concatenating. You can find rational arguments for this and other problems on D web page.
BTW. "inout" parameters are now renamed to "ref".
As of 1.011
"BTW. 'inout' parameters are now renamed to 'ref'."
As of 1.011
Funny though, its badly designed because it uses ~ and has gc. And I wonder what pure compiling means if gc makes this no longer true?
Why makes gc pure compiling no longer true
Why makes gc pure compiling (whatever that means) no longer true ? GC is done by the runtime and has nothing to do with compiling. D is a "pure compiling" language (as pure as you can get - there is nothing more pure than compiling into platform dependent native code). And why is a language badly designed just because it has the option to use garbage collection (in D you can manage memory by yourself and turn garbage collection completely off, if you want to) ?
Using ~ for concatenating arrays and not + makes sense because your not adding strings like you are adding numbers. But that might be just a matter of taste.
But if these two things are the only criterions for you to decide if a language is good or bad designed, you should better not become a language designer.
Improvements over C++
For a (not complete) list of things which are "improvements" over C++ just take a look at
As always this is a matter of taste and personal preference. But C++ had to be designed to be backward compatible to C, so some things could not be as clean designed as they should be and make the language more complicated and error prone.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

LONDON: Jailed Pakistan pacer Mohammad Asif's lawyers are set to appeal against his conviction in the spot-fixing scam and if successful, it could lead to his release from prison.
Jailed for a year by Southwark Crown Court after being found guilty of conspiring to cheat and conspiring to accept corrupt payments, Asif is serving jail-time with former Test captain Salman Butt (30 months), who was convicted of the same charges.
The third convict, 19-year-old Mohammad Aamer, has been sent to a youth detention and correction centre for six months due to his young age. While Butt and Aamer plan to appeal against their sentence, Asif has decided to challenge the conviction itself with his lawyers saying that no money was ever found on him.
"We are considering an appeal against conviction, not sentence," a representative of Asif's legal team was quoted as saying by a website.
"They feel that the jury may not have been within their rights to convict Asif on the evidence they had in front of them. This appeal is expected to be lodged in the next seven days," the website reported.
Asif was found guilty of bowling a pre-determined no-ball in the Lord's Test against England last year, after taking money from convicted bookie Mazhar Majeed, who was sentenced to 32 months in prison.
Asif denied the charges against him and his lawyers maintained that no money was ever recovered from him.
Butt and Aamer, on the other hand, were found to have the cash that was paid by an undercover 'News of the World' reporter, who blew the lid off the scam with his sting operation on Majeed.
"Follow the money and if you follow the money you will not find any on Mr Asif," Asif's lawyer Alexander Milne QC had told the court.
But Majeed had claimed that he paid 65,000 pounds to Asif to "keep him loyal."

Can swedish record labels release tracks on RBN?
ThatAuthoringGroup;4486903 said:Which swedish label? They'd need an american authoring company to do the work for them, but other than that, yeah they can do it.
In other words we can't do it ourselves, that kind of blows.
Edit: Forgot to answer your question. A West Side Fabrication, I don't work there but my friends are signed there. I was thinking we'd do it ourselves for fun since the band is pretty unknown in the states. "We are the Storm" is what band's called.
FairwoodStudios Road WarriorDJRaptorz;4487002 said:I'm seriously trying to get one of my friends songs which have mostly Swedish to get approved. I mean, why can't it be? Daas Bosh - Eternal Divine Angel Death got a Swedish Phrase in the beginning and it's approved and released
A single Swedish phrase is one thing, that's easy for Harmonix to validate and support. A song that's predominantly Swedish is much more complex and involved, as Harmonix (and all the testers) have to be confident that the content is safe for a T-rated game. That's why the one Amberian Dawn song in Finnish is taking so long; I'm sure RockGamer has it all done, they just need to get the permissions cleared to make it actually happen and that can be a great deal of work. If it wasn't such a notable group it might not be worth it.

My Exclusive Interview with Vice President Mondale
by Jonathan Singer, Wed Feb 23, 2005 at 05:11:50 AM EST
This afternoon I had the unique honor of interviewing former United States Vice President Walter Mondale from his office in Minnesota via telephone.Jonathan Singer: You were part of a generation of Democrats in the Senate -- including other people like Frank Church, George McGovern, Birch Bayh, Gaylord Nelson -- who helped enact a large body of progressive legislation that makes America great today. But now, the President and the Republicans are trying to overturn much of your work. How do the Democrats regain that momentum?
Walter Mondale: It is true that the agenda of the Bush administration and of many in the Congress is a radical assault on the legacy of Roosevelt and the Lyndon Johnson Great Society years and many of the fundamental reforms that were put in place in the period that I served in the Senate and the White House. But I must say I don't know what the Democrats do to regain momentum.[continued after the jump]
Certain people have to rethink this thing, and realize what's happening to them and to their lives, and more importantly to their children and their opportunities for mobility and progress. I don't think that's happened yet. I hope it will. Until it does, I'm afraid we're going to have a deeply divided nation. At least as of now, the Democrats will be blanked out of the South, out of the Mountain states and out of a good deal of the Midwest, which means that it's going to be very hard to get the Senate back. Now this can change quickly, but talking right now, I don't have an answer to your question.
Singer: Speaking of Rule 22, during your service as Vice President in the late 70s, you issued a number of parliamentary rulings that affected the rules surrounding the filibuster. Given this experience, what are your feelings towards Senate Majority Leader Frist's consideration of the so-called "Nuclear Option," ridding the Senate of judicial filibusters?
Mondale: I'm very much opposed to it and I don't believe it's very good law.
My view is that the Senate can shape its own rules, and the Rule 22 now requires that 60 percent of the -- 60 votes in the Senate are required to impose cloture, and I think where nominations are concerned it may be a little higher (I'm a little vague on that right now). But I think if we ever went to majority rule it would really undermine the capacity of the Senate [to] advise and consent, and I think the people who voted for it would see that the Senate as a unique institution in the world would rapidly diminish in stature.
The Constitution talks about "advise and consent." A President doesn't appoint judges, he nominates judges. The President only has half the action. The other half [of the] action is the independent discretion of the Senate. If it was just a case of majority rule, they'd be able to jam all the stuff through without the traditional ability of the Senate to ventilate these issues. So I'm very much opposed to it.
A long time ago when I was Vice President I once ruled that a majority could change the rules. I changed my mind while I was in the Senate and a few years ago gave a speech at the Senate Leadership Conference saying that I believe majority rule would undermine the Senate in a profound way. So I'm very much opposed to it.
Singer: Now speaking of your term as Vice President, John Nance Garner famously said the Vice Presidency is -- we'll say it as -- "not worth a warm bucket of spit*." You're widely credited with reshaping the office and gaining real clout in the White House. As subsequent Vice Presidents have taken more and more power in the government, culminating in the central role of Dick Cheney in this administration, do you feel the balance of power needs to begin moving in the other direction? Do Vice Presidents hold too much power today?
Mondale: I believe that we did change the Vice Presidency, principally Jimmy Carter. We did what we call "executive-ized" it. Before then, the Vice President was both in the Executive and Legislative branches, but wanted by neither. Under Carter, the Vice President moved into the White House and became a principal aide with the President. I think that's been a very useful, important institutional change in American government.
What I'm worried about now is that under Cheney, a very important line I think has been breached. In other words, I don't consider that there are two Presidents. I don't think there should be a President and a Prime Minister. I think only the President should have Presidential executive authority. And what I'm worried about is that this Vice President has set up, in effect, his only National Security Council. He feels free to go anywhere -- including into the CIA and so on -- and directly press government officials to respond to his views. I'm afraid that the necessity of these agencies and these key officials in providing the President with their own honest advice may be compromised and undermined by this, what I consider to be, excessive use of the Vice [Presidency].
I think the Vice President should never, ever put himself in the position within the administration to appear to be speaking for the President unless he actually has been authorized to do so by the President. Otherwise, I think there's a tendency if he's not careful, that he will chill or intimidate the open advice given to him by key leaders in the administration. And from what I hear, that's going on now.
Singer: Now moving on to your run for the President in 1984, a central part of your platform was reducing the immense Reagan deficit. With a burgeoning deficit today that is set to explode in the years after Bush's term is completed -- in 2009, it could reach into the 500-700 billion range -- is there any possibility of restoring fiscal balance.
Mondale: I think it's a very, very serious problem. We have unprecedented deficits now, and with these massive tax cuts and these other out year commitments -- and the President has been very careful to let the good news arrive during his time and pay for it after he's gone -- that the rising deficits could have really catastrophic consequences for our economy. I noticed today that the dollar is dropping, the market has taken a big hit -- and part of it is that the price of oil has gone up -- but the big story is the South Koreans started selling American dollars and buying European currency. I think there's an increasing shakiness in confidence in the American dollar, which is essential to America's strength.
So I think we've got to do something about these deficits. I would take back those big tax cuts for the wealthy. I would restore what we used to have, a pay-go system where anything you want to do in the budget, you've got to pay for if it costs money, so you have the discipline at the time you do something popular that involves trying to keep the budget in good balance.
In my opinion -- and I worked hard for the Budget Act and I was on the Budget Committee and I did some work on this from the White House -- in my opinion, the use of the budget making process by this administration is becoming increasingly cynical. The Budget doesn't really tell you what the administration knows. It didn't include the cost of what they call the Supplemental for the War in Iraq. It doesn't include the cost of amending the Alternative Minimum Tax that costs in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Lots of things in that Budget that mislead and undermine an honest discussion of the Budget. So we need honest budgeting and we need a much stronger Congress that uses its Congressional Budget Committees and offices to hit back harder than they're doing now.
It can happen. You know it was just three years ago when we were running a $300 billion -- four years ago -- a $300 billion surplus. So this is a self-inflicted and irresponsible action that's undermining the strength of our country.
Singer: Well you certainly have a wealth of experience in dealing with this and I know your party turned to you three years ago, two and a half year ago, to be its standard bearer after the death of Paul Wellstone. But The Washington Post's Michael Leahy wrote an article this weekend on the treatment given to former presidential nominees, focusing on George McGovern. Do you feel that people like McGovern, Bob Dole, Michael Dukakis and yourself receive the appreciation and respect from their parties that they -- that you -- deserve?
Mondale: I think it's just fine. You know, those of us who run are just American citizens who happen to be nominated to run for an office. Some of us get elected, some of us don't. But I think it's a very healthy thing in America to remember that all of us are just citizens. We're not entitled to anything extra.
Having said that, I think people like George McGovern, with their wonderful public careers, in his case, a wonderful war hero record and all that he's done for our country and the world, I think he deserves respect for that, and not just because he happened to be a nominee. I wouldn't think that's worth much.
Singer: Speaking of the nominee, John Kerry, this year's nominee, lost the election quite narrowly, and the Democrats, as you said, lost quite a few seats in the Senate, but the House was about even, especially when you consider what happened in Texas with the redistricting. How do you read the results of the November election? Was it as much of a blowout or a mandate as the Republicans have made it seem?
Mondale: I thought it was a marginal, but disastrous election for us. Marginal because it wasn't won by much. In fact in the House the number of seats in the House only reflected the games that were played in Texas; if it hadn't been redistricted between censuses, we would have exactly the same number of Congressmen we had last time. Nevertheless, that four or five seats we lost in the Senate, four or five we've lost in the House, plus the election of the election -- the President this time won, unlike the last one -- I think has given them momentum and ability to shape things that is disastrous.
Singer: Now looking ahead to 2006, the chances of retaking the Senate are perhaps slim, but they're very much contingent on keeping the close seats that are held now. Your Senator Mark Dayton recently announced he will not seek another term, and a number of leading Minnesota Democrats, including Al Franken and yourself, have declined to take a run. Any feelings on who might pick up the nomination? Will the Democrats even be able to hold the seat?
Mondale: There's a long list of them, and it's getting longer as we talk. I'd just as soon not get into particular names, but there's ten or fifteen out there that are thinking about it. I think we've got a pretty good chance of holding the seat. The Democrats simply must hold it. Minnesota is, I think, by a narrow margin, but by a palpable margin, still a Democratic state. And I think if we get a good nominee, and I think we will, we'll win, but I'd just as soon not get into names right now.
Singer: Just one last question about Minnesota politics, then I'll let you go. Minnesota has long been a breeding ground for national politicians from both parties, such as Harold Stassen, Warren Burger, Hubert Humphrey and of course yourself. What do you think of the next generation of Minnesotans? Are they fit to carry the mantle that you--
Mondale: Yeah. I think we've got some good leadership coming up. We elected a lot of new members of the state legislature, we've got good leadership in the state Senate, we've got people like Amy Klobuchar, the County Attorney, Betty McCollum, the Congresswoman from St. Paul. I don't want to get into names, because it gets me in a trap here, but we've got several gifted, impressive young public leaders coming up.
Singer: That's good to hear. Again, I can't tell you how much of an honor it is to speak with you. Thank you so much for taking the time and have a wonderful day.
Mondale: I'm very glad to do it and I wish you the best.check out my political blog, Basie!, for more interviews with Gary Hart, Birch Bayh and others

The Cullman Times
With only one local race fielding candidates from both major parties on the ballot for the Nov. 6 general election, it's hard to know whether straight-party voting will be as popular in Cullman County as it was in the Alabama Republican sweep two years ago.
But, if you're one of the voters who's hesitant to tick off a straight party ballot because you prefer one or two (or more) candidates who hail from the other side of the political fence, it helps to bone up on how straight party voting works in Alabama.
The first option at the top of the Nov. 6 ballot in Alabama is "Straight Party Voting," followed by your party choice of either the Alabama Democratic Party or the Alabama Republican Party. If you mark one of these and leave every other option on your ballot blank, then every candidate representing that party — for every office from President of the United States all the way down to Cullman County probate judge — will get your vote.
But what if you're a Republican who wants to vote with your party for every race but one — say, the presidential race — in next month's election?
You can still vote a straight Republican ticket, so long as you also mark your vote for Democrat Barack Obama (or one of the three independent candidates on the presidential ballot) in the corresponding box. All other votes for seats which field a Republican candidate will follow your 'straight party' vote, but your vote for another party's candidate in the presidential race will still count.
Alabama's deputy secretary of state, Emily Thompson, said the state allows a voter to mark a straight-ticket ballot for one party and then go down the ballot and vote for candidates of the other party. Thompson said there's no limit on how many candidates can be marked in the other party — and the ballot will still be counted.
Similarly, a straight party vote will only count for candidates in that party. If you vote straight party Democrat, and there's a race — such as the one for the Cullman County Commission chairman's seat — that fields only a Republican on the ballot, your vote for the commission chairman's race will simply be left blank. In other words, no candidate in that race will get your vote, since there aren't any candidates from your preferred party on the ballot in that race.
Locally, only the probate judge's race fields a Democratic candidate — incumbent Leah Patterson Lust — who could benefit from Republican voters "bending" their straight ticket.
The Democratic candidate for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, Jefferson County Circuit Judge Bob Vance, has mentioned the little-known practice of straight party ticket crossover voting in his campaign appearances. Vance faces Republican Roy Moore, who previously served as chief justice.

I spent several weeks (including MWC) with Sony's current flagship, the Xperia Z1s. It's been a great experience, other than the camera and the display, which just don't live up to the hype. Here's my video review.
I spent several weeks (including MWC) with Sony's current flagship, the Xperia Z1s. It's been a great experience, other than the camera and the display, which just don't live up to the hype. Here's my video review.
I spent a few minutes with Sony's Stephen Sneeden at MWC yesterday to discuss the Xperia Z2 smartphone and tablet… This is my video interview!
It's almost been 2 weeks since the Nokia Booklet 3G landed in my dirty little hands – blame the Google Nexus One for stealing the show!
So, what about Nokia's premium
netbook mini-laptop? As I already mentioned in my hands on, the Booklet 3G looks gorgeous…
Hot on the heels of the Motorola Droid, the friendly people at Verizon sent me an HP Mini 311-1037NR review unit!
It's a netbook with an Intel Atom N270 processor, NVIDIA ION graphics, and an 11.6″ screen. Of particular interest to me is the Gobi radio from Qualcomm (built-in WWAN) which supports both EVDO and EDGE/HSDPA networks…
What's incredibly hot and superbly built? The Nokia E75, US version – in ruby red, of course!
I've always been a fan of Nokia's Eseries devices, especially QWERTY ones like the E71. So ever since the E75 was announced at Mobile World Congress, I've been
secretly coveting it :)
Before I put it through its paces, here are some pictures and a video (including a few poses with my VAIO P).
It's time for another podcast (24 min) with Matthew Bennett:
- Audio version
- Video version
This week we discussed upcoming cameraphones and the Sony VAIO P!
Other topics include the Nokia N85 and the Nokia 5800. amongst other things…
Click here to subscribe to this podcast.
So, after more tinkering with the Sony VAIO P, I have successfully managed to mod the Gobi radio from Qualcomm (built-in WWAN) from EDVO-only to EGDE/HSDPA!
I have documented the process with a how-to and some pictures…
Enjoy :)
I have successfully managed to downgrade the Sony VAIO P to Windows XP (from Vista). I used this guide started by this person and contributed this information :)
Most importantly, I got both the WWAN (EVDO-only for now) and GPS radios working! Next up: more modding (it's EDGE/HSDPA time)…
The super sexy Sony VAIO P is here! This one is blood red, even… Can you handle it? Are you sure?
Well then, enjoy my unboxing pictures :) But please don't make a mess, OK?

I've often been accused of being Anti American just because I choose not to Vote while in a land that defends what little rights it has left. I don't see the need to make my Opinions known to a Public whom is so self absorbed that should we be facing a Cataclysmic End Game, everyone would still be whining about Political Crap.
I think the Notion of Electing a Single Man or Woman to tackle the needs of a Broader Population is otherwise Troublesome. After all, such a Person would clearly be running for the Power they could wield and not necessarily for the promises they made during their own Campaign.
Politics is a Fools Game, complete with Approval from a mostly Foolish Public whom believes every Word our Gov tells them even though just like Religion these Guidelines and Policies are mere Fiction written by some Joker who had a bland sense of Humor and in the case of Modern day Laws a bit of a Coke Habit.
Don't misunderstand me, I respect those who believe in a Faith. However I personally am not sold on any Religions and don't believe that a Deity lives up in the clouds and will come down to save me.
I've known all along that Politicians aren't worth their Salt and recently with Mitt Romney's secretly taped Conversation coming to light, my previous Statements hold true. It's always a Hoot when some Idiot Suit shoots himself in the foot when all they do is belittle and question every move the other guy whose Job they want has made.
So, getting back to Voting...
How can I be expected to Vote for one of two Candidates both of whom I despise? When it comes down to it, I think Obama is the lesser of two Evils but I certainly wouldn't Vote for him. Still he's made Limited Progress and has shown that he's for the People unlike the other guy whom does what any other Rich person does and Whines about why their Money can't buy them the Seat they're After.
Mitt Romney comes across as an Entitled Rich Snob, whom caters to a Mostly Rich Circle of Associates and Friends whom places Money above all else. Has Mitt ever lived in a Hood? Has he ever walked amongst the people of a Population and witnessed the Hardships others face?
Then there is Obama, he's already got Four years under his Belt and during that time he's made several Controversial Changes to our Society in the form of Bills 8 Laws. He's a Great Talker, can sell almost anyone whatever he's peddling.
However he's got a Reputation for being somewhat Soft and pissing off Millions of Americans with his Vision for the Future.
Can Obama really be Trusted though? Anyone who thinks Politicians aren't Dirty behind the Scenes is just Naive, after all how do you think they get to the Level they are at because it's certainly not doing what's best for the people.
Concessions along with back room dealing is a reality for these individuals. Plus you have to Factor in what they will be giving to the limited population that serves as Benefactors during Campaigning Sessions.
Between these two Candidates and Human Beings is there really such a thing as a Better Candidate? I ponder these very Questions everyday and the result is the same.
I subscribe to the Theory that America's Election System and it's entire Political Ideology is so played out and Flawed that it's got no Validity in the year 2012. When it comes down to it, whether it's an Election for POTUS or the City Council of some Po dunk little Town, Politicians seeking such titles bring nothing of substance to the table.
They know Insults, and possess Vocabularies tantamount to Modern Day Scholars yet bring nothing of any real Value to the fore front. Empty Promises are a Staple of American Politics, giving false hope to those desperate for change only to forget about the little guys when they are at the top of the Totem Pole.
It's painfully obvious that we will never see a True Leader get Elected to any Office except for more of the same tired & played out puppets that Educational Institutions Pump out like a Baby Factory year after year.
The Problem with the current System is that it relies upon an often Morally Corrupt Population to choose between two or more Devils whose Goals and Merit reflects that of each and every Voter whom aligns themselves with said Candidate. It's got nothing to do with Change, or Improving anything. It's all about who is more likely to cater to the Voters Belief System.
As long as each Election harbors the same Misguided Propaganda and Hatred America will never know True Leadership. It's a sad state of affairs when all we get is more of the same every Election Cycle, what's the harm in revealing how someone might tackle any host of issues?
Election Candidates always say they have a plan and will even use the God Card in order to reel in Religious Voters whom may Vote for them just because they are people of Faith whether or not they really are is besides the point.
The bottom line for me, is that I cannot knowingly nor willingly participate in an Open Election when I don't Trust any of the Candidates involved. I will however continue to pay my Taxes and Live a Life I so choose according to what I believe no matter who gets Elected. As far as choosing a Side the best way to sum me up is "Indifferent".
Introduce a Candidate that I can relate to and Trust then we will talk about my Vote being Cast.

Tonawanda News — The City of Tonawanda Zoning Board of Appeals denied People Inc.'s variance request for the second time Monday night, halting the nonprofit's plans to develop the vacant Highland School into 38 low-income apartments.
"This board usually approves variances of 10 to 15 percent. This is a significant request of 41 percent," Chairman Dave Bernosky said at the meeting. "The location of the school is in the center of a residential area, and there will be an influx of people, which will change the character of the neighborhood."
In May, People Inc. filed a legal challenge against the zoning board's initial rejection of the request. The two parties attempted to settle the matter outside of the courtroom, but were unsuccessful. Earlier this month, Erie County Court Judge Tracey Bannister remanded the case back to the Board of Appeals and asked them to reconsider.
Following Monday's unanimous vote, People Inc. Chief Operating Officer Rhonda Frederick said her team will meet today to discuss the next steps. The parties are due back in court on Wednesday.
"We are very disappointed," she said.
People Inc. hopes to rent the building from its owner, S. Spoth, LLC. The nonprofit has recently submitted grant applications for the $6 million renovation project and plans to start construction in a year.
Frederick said the 38 apartments would cost between $400 and $500 per month, and would be home to young professionals, those with disabilities and senior citizens earning less than $23,000 per year.
The plans first hit a stumbling block last year when People Inc.'s application for a building permit was denied. In a letter to the nonprofit, Building Inspector Kevin Rank said the plans were inconsistent with four zoning regulations.The width as well as the surface area of the parking lot are not big enough for the project, Rank said. His letter stated the city's minimum lot size for the project is listed as 135,500 square feet, while the lot size of the Highland property is significantly smaller — only 80,127 square feet.
