Bringing new hope to people with communications disorders, Mozzaz Corporation announces the release of TalkingTILES, a new Augmentative and Alternative Communication ('AAC') mobile app aimed at helping people with a speech or language disorder better express their thoughts, wants, needs and ideas. The app was announced at the recent 2012 ASHA Convention in Atlanta, Georgia.
According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), communication disorders are among the most common disabilities in the United States. Several studies show that 8-12 people per 1,000 experience severe communication impairments requiring AAC (ASHA 2008 AAC Report). AAC solutions have been in use for over three decades, with options ranging from manual picture-symbol boards to hardware based voice output devices.
Created in partnership with researchers, practitioners and families, TalkingTILES is breaking new ground in Assistive Communication Technology. It offers people with communication disorders as well as their educators, therapists, and parents maximum flexibility, balanced by ease-of-use and universal mobile access. With access to a vast library of more than 50,000 symbols and words in over 30 different languages, accents and voices, TalkingTILES can be customized and personalized to meet the communication needs of a wide variety of speech impaired individuals; including people with autism, ALS, cerebral palsy, stroke, aphasia and other traumatic brain injuries.
"We loved how easy it was to program the speech pages in TalkingTILES and how quickly our son learned to use it for communication," says Tracy Liscumb, mother of an 8 year old non-verbal autistic son. "His frustration levels just dropped as he found a way to communicate his needs."
Clinical support teams such as therapists, educators and caregivers for special needs individuals can program TalkingTILES content and share data remotely from their own device to their client's device through Cloud-based remote synchronization; resulting in an efficient and flexible way of managing speech and communication therapy collaboration across a support team.
"The fact that I can use my own laptop to program my client's TalkingTILES speech pages and then have them remotely sync to their personal device is a big time saver for my clients and my therapy team," says Dana Sahian, Speech Language Pathologist. "I can focus my time on actual therapy with the client as opposed to programming their iPad."
"We are very excited to bring this technology to market with TalkingTILES. Our mission is to make Assistive Technology affordable, accessible and adaptable to anyone and everyone. Individuals should have a choice in the type of device they wish to use, and TalkingTILES provides the most flexibility of any solution on the market today," says Sammy Wahab, CEO of Mozzaz. "With our launch today, we are releasing the iOS and Android versions, to be followed by Microsoft Windows 8 and BlackBerry versions in the coming months."
TalkingTILES Key Features & Benefits
-- Easily use and manage images, symbols, words, layouts, audio and voice output -- Create and manage multiple speech pages for home, school, routines, visual schedules and more -- Access fully customizable vocabulary sets based on picture symbols or personalized images -- Available on all popular tablets and smartphone platforms including Apple, Android and Windows -- Supports cross-team and cross-technology collaboration through Mozzaz Cloud Services
TalkingTILES can be directly downloaded from AppStore, Google Play or accessed directly from the Mozzaz website (www.mytalkingtiles.com) for a free 30 day evaluation (includes symbol libraries, voice libraries, team collaboration and remote sync).

Some developers believe that monitoring is a function of the operations team. Some operations teams firmly believe that monitoring the systems they maintain is sufficient to run the business successfully. Most of them are wrong. The complexity of today's applications have gone far and beyond the capabilities of "traditional" system-level monitoring tools and approaches and requires much broader knowledge of business and applications as a whole.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

Parcel Adventcalendar
The Englishman doesn't know, but this year I almost gave up on his handmade advent calendar (one of these German traditions I foolishly introduced into the household). I had this crazy idea of creating 24 little parcels – like actual parcels with little Airmail sings and everything. However, well into my third Christmas movie (Love, Actually!) and still folding, stamping and labelling like a maniac I lost my mojo. It took me a full hour hot-chocolate-and-cookie-brake to get back on track, but eventually they were all wrapped and ready.
Now, I am not fooling you into believing this is the easiest advent calendar to be made. However it is certainly very cute (in my humble opinion) and worth the whole folding-stamping-gluing-wrapping-shebang AND there are still a few days left until the 1st of December. So plenty of time!
Apart from it being time consuming it is not even difficult.
For the boxes I cut out 48 squares, 24 of them slightly smaller than the others so that the lid would fit effortlessly onto the bottom, and folded them with the Origami technique.
For the decoration I had a cute little stamp saying "Air Mail with Love" that I stamped with white ink on dark blue card stock and cut out with an x-acto knife and glued them onto the left hand corner. For the stamp and the little waves that you get from posted mail, I had some more stamps in my repertoire which I inked with black. Instead of the address I just put the number of the parcel down (you know, 1 to 24 – and yes we Germans count only until Christmas Eve). For the finishing touch I wrapped some twine around the parcel. Done!
Now for the filling the Englishman requested some chocolate treats, but really this calendar could hold so much more...
28 days till Christmas, friends. Happy times are coming!
xo, Nadine

My first... knit
There is just one tiny problem: I actually don't know how to do any of these things. Although I bought some wool once and inherited my grandma's knitting needles and have a mum who resembles very much the craft goddess I aspire to become: I never really learned how to knit. That's not to say I never knitted. I did. A couple of years ago I knitted (with the help of my awesome crafty mum) a hat for my Englishman. However the skill lasted only one Christmas season.
It wasn't that I didn't enjoy it, but that huge gap between my abilities then and the demands of the project. Really my mum did most of the knitting. You see, secretly I already dreamed of knitting patterned hats and scarves and sweaters, because I didn't just want to knit something that I knew I wouldn't like or need. I wanted to knit things that were useful and cute looking.
I probably would have stayed in that limbo forever, but then last May (yes I thought about knitting even in the summer!) I found this picture online and immediately knew: that's it! My first knit. It seemed easy enough, cute and totally useful. So after some hours on you tube researching again how to do a slipknot, cast on, do the knit stitch AND the purl stitch and how to cast off again, may I present you: my very first headscarf! (Full tutorial here)
If you want to learn how to knit, here is my advice: Start with a headscarf. They are cute, easy enough to make and teach you all you need.
Happy knitting folks, I am off to finish another headscarf.

Taking Travelnotes
in Exploreit
This year however, after being away for five weeks exploring bits of Thailand and visiting Australia, things turned out a little different. Before I even started on my travel diary three things happened:
First, I researched how to take field notes. I had this idea about a travel diary being not only an account of my experience, but written notes about how a place feels, smells, looks. (I had just read Measuring The World and was inspired by Humboldt's meticulous note keeping). Also I liked the look of the field note books.
Second, I ended up not buying aforementioned note books but cheaper once, which came in a pack of three. This way I had enough pages to fill if I needed to, but if I would end up not filling all of them (which was the case) I could still feel like I completed the diary.
Last, I came across this video by Elise Blaha Cripe and although I never intended to do a scrapbook, her advice not to worry to capture everything really spoke to me. Somehow someone else telling me that it is ok to not note down a minute-by-minute account made it actually ok.
I am pretty happy now with how my travel diary turned out and so I thought I would share it and my favourite record keeping techniques with you.
Write what you see, feel and smell
I did this mainly in the beginning when we visited Thailand. This beautiful South-East-Asian country was very new territory to me and since its culture is so far from what I have experienced before, I wanted to keep a good record of it. I kept the sentences short and the descriptions filled with adjectives.
Keep a count of your observations
One day in Koh Tao I simply spent half an hour counting the animals passing. It turned out as a lovely record of the islands animals, by no means complete and yet a full account of my experiences.
Make a chart
On our first day in Sydney, Australia our lovely friends who we stayed with introduced us to their favourite gelato place. We do love ice cream and the moment our lips touched our first scoop, we knew we would be back (probably the next day). There was really no better way to sum up our time in Sydney then with a good ol'gelato chart. Five stars for Banana Split and Steve Jobs (some gooey peanut/chocolate ice cream, not the inventor).
Ask a question
I ask questions all the time. Whenever I see or experience something that doesn't make sense, I just put the question out there the moment they come into my head – usually with no one around to give me an answer. However, the Englishman encouraged me to write these questions down instead of just saying them out loud. It turns out that they are an excellent caption to what was going on that day. I simply added a few notes on where and why I asked the question and the answer (obviously).
Give it a number
Our last weekend in Sydney was probably the most exciting one of our whole holidays. My best friend got married and I got to be her maid of honour. Clearly there was not much time for keeping a travel diary, however I wanted to remember that day not just through photos and so I made and account of random things I remembered from the day. Literally with numbers.
Sum it up in three sentences (you can try one, but I am no good at that)
Some days we really didn't do much or we did so much that I didn't find much time to write. These days I simply captured with three sentences (or not at all).
Oh, just looking through the diary fills my mind with great moments from this summer. What about you? Do you keep a travel diary?

continued to visit the Jerusalem grave of Shas spiritual leader, and former
chief rabbi, Ovadia Yosef Tuesday to pray, express their respect, gratitude and
a sense of loss befitting a beloved father.Indeed, David Avraham, of
Jerusalem, who could not attend Yosef's funeral Monday evening due to the
numerous road closures and traffic that clogged the city, said he felt like an
"orphan.""A very great man in Torah has left us like orphans," said
Avraham, as his wife, Aliza, nodded her head in agreement while they stood a few
meters from Yosef's grave."We were very attached to him."Avraham
added, "All students of Jewish theology around the world feel like they have
been orphaned."Yosef's burial plot, located in the Sanhedria Cemetery in
the heart of western Jerusalem, was continually surrounded by hundreds of men
who placed dozens of candles by his grave as they prayed in silence throughout
the day.Several meters away, hundreds of women prayed and served sliced
apples, grapes and cookies for the seemingly endless procession of
mourners."It feels like a great father has passed away," said Aliza, who
noted Yosef's uncommon compassion."He used to think about all the poor
people – he would always ask about them," she added. "Poor people used to come
to him for help and he would cry like a child because it pained
him."David said that apart from Yosef's unrivalled knowledge of Torah,
it was his core humanity that made him such a transcendental figure."He
did not care if you were rich or poor, educated or ignorant," he said. "He loved
all people equally. You can see, now is only the second day, and not only are
the Orthodox coming, but even secular Jews."To be sure, although the
majority of Tuesday's mourners were ultra-Orthodox, there was a sizable
representation of secular Jews visiting his grave, as well.One secular
woman, who requested her name not be published, said she felt profound sadness
following Yosef's death."This is very sad for everyone because we all
lost a great man," she said. "I am not religious, but I know that someone like
him only comes along once in a generation."Moshe, a haredi man living in
the capital who asked that his last name not be published, described Yosef's
death as "the greatest loss of all of Israel.""I'm not Sephardi, but the
Sephardim say he was like a father to them and that he loved them like a father
loves his son," he said. "I felt the same way. He's in the best place now – in
heaven."Perhaps the most common observation made about Yosef by mourners
was his ability to relate to people from all walks of life."If he spoke
to children, he would talk to them in their language, and he would do the same
with world leaders," said Aliza. "He never talked down to anyone."Isaac,
a secular Jew who requested his last name not be published, said it was Yosef's
"good heart" that propelled him to greatness among a vast spectrum of Jews and
non-Jews."He would talk to anyone who wanted a blessing and answer any
question, no matter who you were," he said."This is how he became a
great man."A middle-aged security guard stationed at the cemetery, who
requested anonymity, said the outpouring for Yosef is unprecedented."I
have never seen anything like this," he said. "It's very special. It was the
biggest funeral ever in Israel, and he deserved it.

Asiana: Jet partly to blame in California crash
Asiana Airlines acknowledged in documents released Monday that its pilots failed to correct their fatally slow approach to a landing at San Francisco International Airport but also blamed the maker of the jet, saying it did not automatically maintain a safe speed.
Associated Press
Asiana Airlines acknowledged in documents released Monday that its pilots failed to correct their fatally slow approach to a landing at San Francisco International Airport but also blamed the maker of the jet, saying it did not automatically maintain a safe speed.
U.S. accident investigators made public a filing in which the South Korea-based airline asserted that the Boeing 777 had major design flaws that led the pilots to believe it would keep flying at the proper speed and that failed to warn the cockpit crew in time when it did not.
Boeing Co. countered in its own filing with the National Transportation Safety Board that the airplane performed as expected, and the pilots were to blame for the July 6 crash because they stuck with a troubled landing.
The plane slammed into a seawall at the beginning of a runway during its final approach. The impact ripped off its back and scattered pieces of the jet as it spun and skidded to a stop.
In all, 304 of the 307 people aboard survived. Coroner's officials concluded that one of three teens who died, Ye Meng Yuan, was run over and killed by a rescue vehicle as she lay on the tarmac.
Asiana acknowledged in its NTSB filing that the crew failed to monitor air speed in the moments before the crash and should have aborted the landing for another go around.
"The probable cause of this accident was the flight crew's failure to monitor and maintain a minimum safe airspeed during a final approach," Asiana conceded.
However, Asiana argued that the pilots and co-pilot reasonably believed the automatic throttle would keep the plane going fast enough to reach the runway -- when in fact the auto throttle was effectively shut off after the pilot idled it to correct an unexplained climb earlier in the landing.
The airline said the plane should have been designed so the auto throttle would maintain the proper speed after the pilot put it in "hold mode."
Instead, the auto throttle did not indicate that the plane had stopped maintaining the set air speed, and an alert sounded too late for the pilots to avoid the crash, Asiana said. The airline added that U.S. and European aviation officials have warned Boeing about the issue, but it has not been changed.
In most other planes, idling the auto throttle would not disengage it for the rest of a flight, aviation safety consultant John Cox said.
Cox, president and CEO of Safety Operating Systems and a former airline pilot and accident investigator, likened it to the cruise control in a car. If a driver sets it for 55 mph and then accelerates to pass a car, the driver would expect the cruise control to re-engage when the speed slows to 55 mph again.
"The flight crew had an expectation that the auto throttle system was going to do certain things that it did not do," Cox said. "Although they were trained about it, it was not overly intuitive."
Asiana wrote that the pilot flying the plane, Lee Kang Kuk, had been trained to recognize the throttle issue with a 777. The most recent training was three months before the accident, and the instructor specifically used a landing at San Francisco airport as an example.
"This lesson was explained on two occasions by two different instructor pilots," Asiana wrote. Lee "attended the lectures, asked questions specifically about this feature of the automation, and discussed the 'anomaly' with his fellow trainee captains after class."
The NTSB previously said the pilots showed signs of confusion about the 777's elaborate computer systems. The agency has not determined an exact cause of the crash.
Lee was an experienced pilot with Asiana but was a trainee captain in the 777, with less than 45 hours in the jet. He has told transportation safety board investigators that he did not immediately move to perform an emergency "go around" because he felt only the instructor pilot had that authority.
Asiana wrote to the NTSB that under its company policy, "any pilot can and should call for a go-around -- without penalty -- whenever confronted with a potential safety issue."
Boeing told the NTSB the airplane and all its systems were functioning as expected.
"Boeing believes that the evidence supports the following conclusion: This accident occurred due to the flight crew's failure to monitor and control airspeed, thrust level and glide path on short final approach," the airplane manufacturer said.
Asiana and Boeing have been sued in U.S. courts over the crash.
Attorney Michael Verna, who represents several clients seeking damages from Asiana, said the airline documents released Monday amounted to a probable cause statement that he would use when his cases go before a federal judge in Oakland.
"Had the pilots monitored the instruments," Verna said, "we wouldn't have had the accident."
Pritchard reported from Los Angeles.

Leaders who are concerned about the language barrier when sending work overseas may be perturbed by a recent analysis of English language competency. English continues to be the language of business; however, Latin American countries, in particular, lag in the ability to understand and communicate business information in English.
The language barrier has always been a concern for leaders sending corporate technology projects and support overseas, but the issue now appears to be more pronounced.
A provider of English language instruction, GlobalEnglish, tested non-native English speakers at companies in 76 countries over the course of 2011. It was found that after testing the application of English in different contexts, including email and phone, during presentations or sales meetings, and understanding of nuance and complexity in business situations, the average test score had declined since the previous year. "It is likely that the 2012 [average] score is lower partially because more and more companies are being thrust into the global market at the early stages of their strategic efforts to advance their [fluency] so they can reach business goals," Alex Lowrie from GlobalEnglish said.
In practice an average population of workers who, on average, can understand basic information on the telephone or in person, cannot comprehend most business presentations, take a leadership role in business discussions or perform relatively complex tasks, according to the scoring system.
The key data from the report included:
Global talent is has become mobile, said Tom Kahl from GlobalEnglish, and for this reason, business English ineptitude can plague even native English-speaking countries such as Australia, the UK and the US.
Recent research by the London School of English (LSE) found that 98% of HR directors believe that their non-native English speaking staff can communicate effectively, yet many aren't taking into account the need for additional vocabulary training (to include industry-specific jargon). "It's surprising that HR directors are so confident in the abilities of non-native English speakers who, when working in specialist professions, often need training in the specific vocabulary, phrases and jargon used by [certain professions]," Hauke Tallon from LSE said. "The English language is full of complexities and nuance which can impact on understanding, particularly in professions which interact with the general public," Tallon added.
More than half of surveyed HR directors said that they did not believe that English spoken with a strong foreign accent would cause confusion or misunderstanding. Yet according to Tallon, a simple course can make the difference between clarity and confusion. "With the right training, it takes surprisingly little effort for someone with a competent grasp of English to soften their accent," Tallon said.
The survey also found that 78% of HR directors did not believe it necessary to provide training to native English speakers in order to make them aware of their vocabulary when communicating with non-English speakers.
Tallon added that by not investing in cross-cultural, language and communications training, organisations may be risking their international growth opportunities.

Suburban Chicago Judge Legally Declared Insane Wants Back on Bench
So, a Chicago suburb has a woman who was fortunate enough to become a Cook County judge even though she has severe mental problems… and by severe I mean besides being a black power-pushing, halfwitted Democrat. I mean she was actually diagnosed as a mental case and suspended from the bench because of it. But typical to Chicago, now this nutcase expects to get her job back. Because raaaaacism, I suppose.
The nutcase in question is one Cynthia Brim, 55, who was a traffic court judge at the Markham courthouse. In 2012 she went off her nut and began ranting from the bench. Ultimately she was diagnosed with a mental disorder, proscribed a drug regimen to keep her ranting to a minimum and then suspended from the bench.
She even had battery charges filed against her when she went crazy in the court room in 2012.
She even admitted that for 15 years she refused to get mental health help knowing she had something going wrong. And during that whole time she was a sitting judge, too.
But now she claims that because she is on her meds, she should be allowed back on the job.
Just what we need. A woman who is mentally unstable and could go off the deep end at any given minute acting as a judge of we, the people!
Naturally, she has continued to collect her taxpayer funded $182,000 salary since 2012 despite that she hasn't been doing her job on the bench.
And you know what? This is Chicagoland. She'll probably be allowed to resume her position despite that she is batshit crazy. Why? Because: raaaaaacism.
Meanwhile she'll be lording over the regular people and claiming her superiority despite he mental illness.
Chicagoland. It's Chicagoland.

NAB chief Gordon Smith told station owners today that they must redouble their efforts to persuade tech companies to build TV and radio receivers into smartphones and other mobile devices. Internet streaming services "will never have what we have — the ability to deliver our high quality content reliably," Smith said in his keynote speech at the NAB confab in Las Vegas. But he adds that broadcasters who want to beam signals directly to mobile devices "must continue to rise up to meet consumer's desire for more live, local TV content." He added that stations should "seriously consider the challenges and opportunities of moving to a new standard" that would enable them to "compete in a mobile world, and find new revenue streams." Hurricane Sandy helped to make a case for adding radio to mobile devices. "Up and down the Eastern seaboard, we heard stories of cell networks and broadband connections being down for days, even weeks. But radio was always on." Even so, Smith says that radio stations "can't take their place in the [automobile] dashboard for granted. We must continue to innovate and provide the content listeners want on many different platforms."

3 right feet found in running shoes ... but whose?
The mysterious feet that have been washing up on islands in the Strait of Georgia could have drifted in from as far as 1,000 miles away...
Victoria Times Colonist
VANCOUVER, B.C. — The mysterious feet that have been washing up on islands in the Strait of Georgia could have drifted in from as far as 1,000 miles away, according to an expert on ocean currents.
"That's the range they will have to consider when attempting to identify the victims. They could easily have come that far from California or Alaska," Curtis Ebbesmeyer said Friday from his home in Seattle.
"I suppose they could even have come from Japan, because things do drift in from that distance, too," he said.
Ebbesmeyer is an expert on drifting objects and has assisted investigations in Washington state when body parts were found in the ocean or washed ashore.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the British Columbia Coroners Service are investigating three cases of washed-up right feet inside running shoes. The latest was discovered on a beach on the east side of Valdes Island on Feb. 8.
The first foot was found washed ashore on Jedediah Island on Aug. 20, and six days later a second was found on Gabriola Island.
Both were in size-12 runners. No information on the size of the shoe of the third foot has been released.
When the second foot was found, an RCMP spokesman listed the odds of that happening as being a "million to one."
What the odds are for three right feet in running shoes showing up within about 40 miles of each other within six months is anyone's guess.
Ebbesmeyer said the fact they are all right feet is intriguing.
"That's certainly very strange. There will be an explanation for it, no doubt, but it's very odd," he said.
Not so odd is that they were all in running shoes, he said.
Running shoes are the most likely article of dress to survive when a body breaks up in the water from decomposition because they are made of hardy materials that float. The shoes then carry with them the remains of the feet, he said.
Ebbesmeyer has some experience with floating shoes, as he studied what happened when 61,000 pairs of Nike sneakers fell into the sea from a container ship in Alaskan waters in 1990. The shoes drifted to parts of the Canadian coast, including the Queen Charlotte Islands, and as far south as Washington and Oregon.
Jeff Dolan, assistant deputy chief coroner, said Monday that an extensive examination of the remains is being made, including an attempt to generate a DNA profile of the three victims in an effort to link them to a known missing person.

E3 2012 – Sony: Beyond: Two Souls, LittleBigPlanet Vita, and more

E3 2012 – Ubisoft: ACIII Liberation, Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs, ZombiU
Ubisoft has had a surprisingly busy E3 2012. From the return of Rayman for a new Wii U adventure to the open-world, open-ended action title Watch Dogs. And of course, there were zombies, assassins, and Fishers in abundance.
E3 2012 – Capcom: DmC, Lost Planet 3, Resident Evil 6, SF X Tekken
Capcom's major announcements—Resident Evil 6, Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector's Set—were all made well before E3. However, they still had plenty to show with new shots of DmC Devil May Cry, Lost Planet 3, Resident Evil 6, and Street Fighter X Tekken for Vita.
E3 2012 – Bethesda: Dawnguard, TES Online, Dishonored, and more
Bethesda made their major announcements prior to E3, but that doesn't mean that they didn't have plenty to show. The studio released several new screenshots from their upcoming lineup, including The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Dawnguard expansion (360, PC, and PS3), The Elder Scrolls Online (Mac, PC), Doom 3 BFG Edition (360, PC, PS3), and Dishonored (360, PC, PS3).
E3 2012 – Warner Bros.: Arkham City Armored Edition Wii U bound
The Dark Knight will be making his way to the Wii U later this year. Warner Bros. has announced that WB Games Montréal is reconfiguring Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham City for the Wii U and Wii U GamePad, and will be releasing the new version as Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition. In addition to GamePad support, the Armored Edition will also include all of the content from the base game and all of the DLC released to date. It will also introduce the Battle Armored Tech (B.A.T.) mode and new Armored Suits for Batman and Catwoman. The suits allow players to build up kinectic energy during combat, and then release it by engaging the B.A.T. mode, dealing additional damage.

Q&A Friday #112: What Do You Think The Effect Of Statistical Analysis Will Be On Punditry In Upcoming Elections?
Question: Oooh! What do you think the effect of statistical analysis – a la Sam Wang at PEC or that Nate guy that everybody loves – on punditry in upcoming elections? — MightyMooMan
Nate Silver's % chance of o winning on his blog is actually the chance he'll be called a genius if Obama wins & an idiot if he loses.
— John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) November 2, 2012
For all of the talk about Nate Silver's model and "statistical analysis," all he essentially did was look at the state polls and applied the Monte Carlo method to it. In other words, Nate Silver was right because the state polls correctly predicted the winners of the races. Had Gallup and Rasmussen turned out to be the ones that were right while the other pollsters were overestimating the support Democrats were drawing, Silver would have been wrong and everyone would be talking about what an idiot he is today.
As to what effect it will have, it just means that everyone will probably take the state polling data at face value in 2014. As long as it keeps working, everyone will essentially come up with the same results that Nate Silver does, without using any "statistical analysis" of consequence, just by looking at the polls. If and when the state polls are wrong again, Nate Silver and everyone else will turn out to be wrong, too.

The Honey Budger and the goldfish with dementia
ESPN Staff
August 27, 2014
© Getty Images
Nick Cummins, who often left English-speaking journalists bewildered with his responses, has made an immediate impression on his arrival to play in Japan with the local media, albeit with almost inevitable confusion resulting.
In his first TV interview he left all but the most fluent viewers bemused when he said. "I just watched the first game and the boys are running around like a horse upstairs. Power packed. Tackle low, tackle hard. Looking forward to it." He subsequently posted the video to his Instagram account with the comment: "Nearly fluent."
He also gave an interview to a local magazine which put him on the front cover, albeit with a headline calling him the "Honey Budger". He posted a response in which he said "the journo was as confused as a goldfish with dementia".
Cummins has played two warm-up matches for Coca Cola West Red Sparks, although he was not included in the squad for their first league match last weekend.
