President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney crisscrossed the country Sunday to energize supporters in key states, as new polls forecast a down-to-the-wire election and both sides claimed they had the momentum to win.

The Romney camp, combing through surveys taken in the waning days of the campaign, pointed to strength among independent voters, anxiety over the economy and greater enthusiasm among conservatives as signs that the Republican would win, potentially with victories in states such as Pennsylvania and Minnesota that a GOP presidential candidate hasn't carried for decades.
Obama aides exuded similar confidence, citing polls showing the president remains resilient in potentially decisive states such as Ohio and Virginia. The campaign's elaborate ground operation, they said, would mobilize Mr. Obama's core set of minority, young and female voters to guarantee an Obama victory.

The dueling assertions of success came as a new national Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll of likely voters found the two men caught in a dead heat. Mr. Obama led his rival by a whisker, 48% to 47%—a difference of seven voters among a pool of 1,475 surveyed. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.55 percentage points.
Polls in many battleground states, from Virginia and Ohio to New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and even Michigan, also portrayed a race that is tightening down the home stretch.
A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist Poll survey of Virginia, completed Friday, found the two candidates locked in exactly the same positions as in the Journal's national poll—with Mr. Obama drawing 48% to Mr. Romney's 47% among likely voters.
More in Election 2012
In the Virginia survey, Mr. Obama had five more voters than did Mr. Romney, out of 1,165 surveyed. Virginia mirrored the national tally in 2008 and looks likely to do so again Tuesday.
With the race so tight nationally, both candidates are scrambling for a win in states that will determine who claims the 270 Electoral College votes needed to take the White House. One state remains pre-eminent: Ohio, which carries 18 electoral votes.
Mr. Romney kicked off Sunday in Des Moines, Iowa, where he told a crowd: "We're only two days away from a very different path, from a fresh start. Two days away from a new beginning." The former Massachusetts governor then hopped to Ohio before closing the day in Pennsylvania and Virginia. He plans to end his campaign with a last sprint through Florida, Ohio, Virginia and New Hampshire.
Meantime, Mr. Obama, campaigning in Concord, N.H., was introduced by former President Bill Clinton. "Folks, the hour is late and the time is short," Mr. Clinton told the crowd. Added Mr. Obama: "I'm here today because I'm not ready to give up on the fight."
Mr. Obama then headed to Florida, Ohio and Colorado. He will close out his campaign Monday in Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa.
The Journal's national poll illustrates how both candidates have overcome challenges and obstacles to put themselves in a potentially winning position, but with weaknesses that also could lead to either man's defeat.
Mr. Romney has made strides in improving his image among voters and has reversed Mr. Obama's strength in 2008 among independents. The Republican now leads among independents, 47% to 40%, although that is narrower than in some prior polls.
Mr. Romney also has made large gains compared to the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain, among men, white voters, seniors and college graduates. Mr. Obama won half the college-graduate vote in 2008, while Mr. Romney now leads among that segment, 52% to 42%.
On another front, a group of more than 500 former admirals and generals put their names to an endorsement of Mr. Romney, which will appear as an ad in a number of newspapers Monday.
Speaking to voters in New Hampshire on the Sunday prior to Election Day, President Obama warned that Mitt Romney's platform consists of repackaged Republican policies that have proven not to work in the past. Photo: Associated Press.
Mr. Obama, for his part, managed to maintain a durable job approval rating in the WSJ/NBC News poll, at 48%, even while a majority of likely voters see the country as on the wrong track. He also maintained a huge edge among African-American and Hispanic voters, and among women, though his eight-percentage point advantage among women is narrower than in 2008.

Mr. Obama also seemed well-positioned among the dwindling number of undecided voters, who said the last few weeks had made them look more favorably on the president than on Mr. Romney.
The poll was conducted from Thursday to Saturday, after Sandy slammed the Northeast. A majority of voters in the poll approved of Mr. Obama's handling of the storm's aftermath.
Republican voters, though, showed higher interest in the election than did Democrats, while interest among voters under age 30, an important part of the president's coalition, was far lower than in 2008.
In many ways, the race nearly mirrors the 2004 showdown between President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry. The country's mood, the president's job-approval rating, the share of voters each candidate claims in the Journal survey—all are near-replicas of the 2004 race.

The final Journal poll in late October 2004 also had the incumbent ahead, 48% to 47%. Mr. Bush went on to win, thanks to a razor-thin victory in Ohio.
"I could make a compelling case for either of these candidates winning the national vote," said Bill McInturff, a Republican pollster who conducts the Journal poll alongside Democratic pollster Peter Hart. Polling, Mr. McInturff said, isn't good at "trying to predict who wins within a single point."
Mr. Hart, nodding to the candidates' jaunts to swing states, noted that the election will pivot on which man gets his backers out to vote. "This election will be determined by turnout, turnout, turnout," Mr. Hart said.
With polls continuing to show Mr. Romney behind in Ohio, his campaign and the GOP are making a last-minute push to try to seize Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes, a win that would scramble the electoral map and negate a potential loss in Ohio.
Mr. Romney and his allies are blitzing Pennsylvania with $11 million in broadcast ads during the last week of the campaign, compared to $3.7 million by Mr. Obama, who isn't supported by outside groups there.
Both sides are making a push, though less aggressive, in some other states thought to be leaning for Mr. Obama. Republican forces will have spent about $4.7 million in Minnesota during the race's last week, compared to about $1 million by the president's campaign, according to data from a GOP operative.
The election's outcome looks set to pivot on the share of the vote cast by white, Latino and African-American voters.
The tightness of the race is stirring anxiety among supporters of both candidates. At the Obama rally in New Hampshire, Richard Gray, a physician from York, Maine, said he worried that the election could tilt at the last minute to Mr. Romney. "They're expressing a little too much confidence," he said, referring to top Republicans.
Tom Hapner, 46, an engineer and Romney supporter from Middletown, Ohio, said he is "beside himself'' at the possibility that Obama could win another term, citing a concern that the president is "going to continue to crash the American dollar." He added: "This is the first [election] I have been absolutely fervent about."

Don't buy yellow roses
Mike McGrath, WTOP's garden editor
EDITOR'S NOTE: Mike will answer all your lawn and garden questions live and in person from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday Feb. 9, at the Community Home Show at the Universities at Shady Grove. Information and directions.
Mike McGrath, wtop.com
Men: Are you prepared to present proper posies? Yellow roses might make for a blue evening
Thursday is Valentine's Day. And if you didn't already know that, this is probably the most helpful garden tip you'll get from me this season.
Now, if you're thinking about a gift of roses, use caution in choosing the color. In the Victorian secret language known as the Floral Code -- in which every flower has a special meaning -- the deep red velvety roses so popular at this time of year actually mean "bashful shame" (which may well be true, but you probably don't want to advertise it).
Peach-colored roses may be even worse, they mean "sympathy". And yellow roses mean "let's just be friends." Yikes! Only a rose in a normal shade of red stands for the passionate love you -- hopefully -- want to convey.
Tulips are the more romantic choice
Valentine's Day is a holiday strongly linked with roses. But roses are not the flower that was most often used to convey love in Victorian Floral Code, where flowers speak louder than words.
Instead, tulips are a lover's true clandestine clue. Specifically, pink tulips are a straightforward declaration of love, yellow tulips signify that you are hopelessly in love and red tulips stand for perfect love.
And if you give potted tulips instead of cut flowers, you can replant the bulbs this fall for a chance at an eternal declaration of love.
The passionate orchid that's also easy care
When it comes to a gift of romantic flowers, I always felt that orchids had roses beat hands-down in the passion department. Some orchids are so over the top they should come with an R rating.
And not all orchids are finicky house plants. In fact, the Phalenopsis (or 'moth orchid') is very easy care. And the plants can stay in bloom for a ridiculously long time, at least three months, maybe longer, if you choose your specific specimen wisely.
Pick a plant with just a few open flowers and lots of unopened buds on the lower part of the stem, and new flowers should continue to open until mid-summer. On the other hand, take a pass on orchids that have few to no buds left on the stem, those posies are long past their prime.
Yo! What's more romantic than Philly in March?
Looking for something really "Brilliant" to give your sweetie for Valentine's Day? How about a trip to the famed Philadelphia International Flower Show, whose theme this year is "brilliant" -- as in the exclamation used to describe a way-over-the- top style of British gardening.
The largest, grandest and longest-running in the world, the Philly Flower show runs March 2 to March 10 and offers 10 acres of major exhibits that redefine breathtaking, and it's an easy Amtrak ride from D.C. And if you join the presenting organization, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, you'll get tickets to the show at less than list price if you buy a three- or four person membership, plus use of the exclusive members lounge at the show (free coffee, tea and nice place to sit down for a bit) and discounts at selected vendors in the marketplace area.
For Show details, visit www.theflowershow.com. And here's a direct link to the membership page. Check out the 'household' memberships -- the ones for three and four people are the really super deals.
Oh, and if you want to double up on your fun, I'll give my annual lecture at the show at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, March 6. The lectures are free with Flower Show admission.
Turn cut roses into live landscape plants
Giving cut roses this Valentine's Day? Consider turning some of those expensive bouquet blooms into living shrubs in your landscape. Yes, you can. Roses are one of the easiest plants to propagate. Now to do this, you must remove the actual flowers promptly. But they'll still put on a show. Here's how:
- After you present the un-altered bouquet on Thursday, pull out a pair of pruners and quickly cut the flowers off, leaving a good couple inches of stem attached to each bloom.
- Immediately position these now-short stem specimens in a cut glass bowl filled with marbles and water.
- Take the de-flowered stems, cut 2 inches off the bottom of each one and remove all the leaves from the bottom half of each cane.
- Gently insert the stripped bottoms of the canes into a nice big pot with good drainage holes that you've filled with soil-free mix (available at any good garden center).
- Make sure one or two little 'buds' are below the soil line on each cane, and make sure that the soil mix is totally saturated with clean water.
- Drape a clear plastic bag over top and position the whole shebang where it gets bright, but indirect light.
- Lift the cover and mist the plants every morning. Keep the mix damp but not sopping wet.
- When new growth appears on the canes, remove the plastic, but keep misting daily.
- Plant each cane individually outside (in areas that get good morning sun and airflow) between April 15 and the end of June.

Loud, volatile, brash, and rude, Guns N' Roses exploded onto the music scene in the late '80's. Their chart-topping success was only rivaled by their off-stage antics. Delve into their individual personalities, see some of the debauchery, explore the enigma of Axl Rose, and find out if a new album is forthcoming.
- Who is Axl Rose?
- Why is it taking so long to release Chinese Democracy?
- See some of the on and off-stage antics that made headlines.
The last official album was released in 1993 (The Spaghetti Incident?), and rumors of a new album have been circulating for almost a decade. This supergroup appears to have imploded with only one original member still in the band. They have not had an American tour in years and lawsuits have been circulating between members. Why is everyone still captivated by Guns N' Roses?
The answer may lie in their volatile history. Since bursting on the music scene in the late 1980's they not only topped music charts, but headlines. Their off-stage antics range from inciting riots to nationally televised blunders. Rude and cocky, their music shared the same anger and energy.
Trace the history of this rock band, including profiles of members Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Steven Adler, and others. Learn why lawsuits have been circulating between these members and why Axl is the last man standing. Will Chinese Democracy ever be released? See the history of Guns N' Roses.

- Secondary Plant Compounds as Feeding Deterrents in the African Subterranean Termite Schedorhinotermes lamanianus Sjöstedt (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae): A Behavioural and Neurophysiological Approach (2010)
- In the present study, the influence of plant-derived secondary compounds on feeding behaviour in the subterranean termite Schedorhinotermes lamanianus was investigated. Furthermore, the chemosensory input system responsible for the perception of these compounds was investigated using electrophysiological methods. The obtained results provide evidence that in S. lamanianus a variety of structurally diverse secondary plant compounds (alkaloids and non-alkaloids) other than securinega-alkaloids influence feeding behaviour. These compounds evoke an avoidance of food sources or lower food consumption under choice conditions even at lower concentrations obtained for securinega-alkaloids. Furthermore, these compounds also reduce feeding under no-choice conditions. Termites seem to ingest less food even when they started feeding and no alternative food source is available. Therefore these compounds act as repellents and feeding deterrents in S. lamanianus depending on the test conditions under which they are applied. Furthermore, the present study provides strong evidence that different proximate mechanisms explain feeding inhibition in S. lamanianus: 1) Twelve structurally very diverse alkaloids, including feeding deterrent alkaloids in S. lamanianus, stimulated the taste neuron II/3 in TP II sensilla on antennae of this termite species. Non-alkaloids did not stimulate neuron II/3. Therefore, this neuron II/3 is an "alkaloid cell" negatively influencing feeding behaviour in this termite. 2) Feeding inhibition seems also to be influenced by the inhibition of phagostimulant taste neurons ("water cells") on antennae. 3) A second sensory input system for the perception feeding deterrent plant-derived secondary compounds seems to be evident as some tested compounds (alkaloids and non-alkaloids) are clear antifeedants in S. lamanianus but do not influence feeding behaviour by the former two mechanisms. Hence, in termites feeding inhibition by secondary plant compounds is a very complex process which needs further investigation. Including neurophysiological investigations of the chemosensory input system seems to be a promising approach to better understand feeding inhibition in termites which may lead to improved wood protection and termite management.

SEMI® Semiconductor and LED Fab Databases
Semiconductor, LED, and MEMS Fabs and Foundries
Semiconductor, LED, and MEMS fabs and foundries play a vital role in the industry. Over the years, there have been sizeable investments in the building of these complex front-end fabs. Also, there have been fabs that have invested in converting the fabs to accommodate larger wafer sizes changes as well as changes in technology nodes. Just recently, there has been news about fabs that have started to spend again in the area of capital equipment.
As more of
these wafer fabs are built (or converted), information is needed to
analyze the investment requirements, construction spending,
semiconductor equipment spending, first silicon, geometries (technology
nodes), volume production, and upgrades/expansion.
The SEMI databases deliver the latest fab trends and a complete analysis on semiconductor fabs and foundries worldwide and are ideal resources to empower your market research. Identify target customers and analyze both investment and technology trends with a comprehensive and dynamic range of information designed to help meet your market research needs faster and easier than ever.
The SEMI Fab databases uses a bottom-up approach methodology, providing high-level summaries and graphs; and in-depth analyses of capital expenditures, wafer fab capacities, technology and products by fab. Additionally, our World Fab Forecast database provides forecasts for the next 18 months by quarter. These tools are invaluable for understanding how the semiconductor manufacturing will look in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and learning more about CAPEX for construction projects, fab equipping, wafer capacity, technology levels, and products.

We're using it as a coffee table/ottoman. It is well styled and well made. Very nice charcoal gray. Plenty of storage space for pillows and blanket. An excellent value. Can be used with or without the casters. If we had any critique at all, it would have been an inch or two taller (we may modify by adding feet at some point) and a little heavier (it's rather light weight). All in all though, we'd certainly buy it again.
The dark gray fabric initially caught my eye but upon delivery the ottoman sat very low to the ground so I immediately proceeded to add foot rests that matched our sofa. Liked the end result very much except the ottoman was hard and not comfortable since there was very little padding. Almost a year to the date the ottoman structure snapped while a guest was sitting on it~VERY embarrassing for her to say the least. While opening up to expose the support structure I found that it had been poorly designed and an inappropriate choice of wood was used and poorly designed to support much of anything. It's a wonder it did not break before now though it is rarely sat on. I would not recommend this piece to anyone. Poor quality, poor design & poor materials. Don't waste your money.
Everything about this is perfect;however if I had carpet I don't think I feel that way. The wheels that this came with are cheesy and cheap 1980s wheels. It slides beautifully across my hardwoods and the grey is great. They wrote "brownish grey" all over the package but this is Grey with no brown undertones.
This ottoman came in perfect condition. The description on the Overstock.com website was accurate. Please note that you CANNOT MOVE this ottoman with the weight of a person on it or the wheels will BREAK (SHATTER).
This ottoman looks exactly as is on the picture so I was very happy about that however because it is such a plain color i do recommend adding your own flavor and a pop of color otherwise it's a great piece of furniture
This ottoman is lightweight and rolls easily on carpet. We have had no problems with the wheels, but yes, it doesn't seem like it's meant to be used as an adult seat. We use it in our basement which is quickly turning into a playroom and it looks very sleek. The ottoman is easily to open to store blankets or toys. Would recommend this product!
The ottoman looks great and is very functional, but don't make the mistake of sitting on this or putting too much weight on it as it will probably break. I have had the ottoman for about 3 weeks and I can already feel spots on the top where the wood and framing is either broken or falling apart.
The ottoman is really low and quite small, too low to the ground to put your feet up or sit on it.
I ordered this piece for my 10 year old little girls room. Nice, large piece - can fit 2 kids on the inside :) not too tall, she uses it for storage & some lounging around. So lite to open for a child. Fabric is durable, we also have 2 dogs, so this is so easy to clean & hides hair & dirt as well. It looks great, very timeless look, something to grow in to. Very pleased!!! She loves it!

'American Horror Story: Asylum' Premiere Preview: 5 Things to Know About the New Season
Fans of good TV, get ready. Your Wednesday nights are going to get deliciously twisted.
Wednesday marks the premiere of FX's American Horror Story: Asylum, and Celebuzz has scoop from the cast and details on the premiere -- which might just be the most gripping hours of TV that we've seen this season.
Want to know all about Briarcliff, Sister Jude and Bloody Face? Here are seven things you need to know before entering the asylum.
1. Sister Jude. Jessica Lange won over critics and audiences alike with her portrayal of Constance Langdon, the Harmons' aggressively sassy neighbor on Season 1 of American Horror Story. But forget about Constance; Sister Jude is arguably more compelling. Sister Jude not only leaves her staff perpetually terrified of her every move -- poor Sister Eunice (Lily Rabe) -- but she also struggles with her own personal demons, particularly the sensual feelings she has toward Monsignor Timothy Howard (Joseph Fiennes).
Not to mention, she also takes the brunt of her patients' agression. Let's just say, there's more to Jude than meets the eye, and you might find yourself siding with her. Oh, and red is definitely her color.
"It was petrifying," said Devon Graye, who makes his debut as possessed farm boy Jed on Episode 2. "I'm such a huge fan of her's, and when I finally read the script and saw what kind of scene I had with her, I was like, 'This is crazy! I get to say this to Jessica Lange?'"
Kit and Lana meet a startling array of inmates, from the clinically insane to a sex addict (Chloë Sevigny), a degenerate bully (Mark Consuelos), and the mysterious Grace (Lizzie Brocheré), who immediately develops a kinship with Kit.
"He does enjoy Sister Jude," Consuelos teased, before adding, "There's a lot of people who will try and get out of that place."
3. The Lovers. Chances are, if you're just tuning in to catch a glimpse of Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, then you might want to turn off your TV about five minutes in.
Leo (Levine) and Teresa (Jenna Dewan -Tatum) are modern-day newlyweds who choose to spend their honeymoon on a "Haunted Honeymoon Tour." Why? Because Teresa just so happens to be a "horror freak," and Leo will pretty much do whatever she says as long as it means he gets some action. That's pretty much the basis of their relationship -- and it won't serve either of them well inside the walls of the now-abandoned Briarcliff.
Perhaps getting it on with his wife on the electro shock therapy bed wasn't such a good idea for Leo. Ultimately, these two end up trapped inside with nowhere to run. Close your eyes, Maroon 5 fans!
4. Dr. Arden's Laboratory. Dr. Arden (James Cromwell) is no McDreamy. In fact, let's just call him McCreepy. Not only does he torture the patients of Briarcliff -- in the name of science -- but he also managed to create an entire hoard of flesh-eating monsters in the process. Yikes!
"I had no idea until I had gotten the first four scripts and my first reaction was, 'What have I gotten myself into?' Because I don't really like the horror genre," said Cromwell. But how dark will Dr. Arden get? "He's very cruel to little animals," joked Cromwell.
As for Arden's tense relationship with Sister Jude, it's one of the more dynamic story lines of the season. "She wants control, and I want power," Comwell explained. "The more she tries to gain control, the more I use my power to gain the ascendancy."
However, Bloody Face isn't just around in the 1960s. He/she also shows up in the present -- and it's not a pretty sight.
American Horror Story: Asylum premieres Wednesday, October 17 at 10PM ET on FX.

Amy, are there threads on the board that you purposely avoid that you want to participate in? Which ones and why?
Sorry for saying sorry =)
Have you ever had to ditch your skippies because you shat yourself or sharted?
Do your kids like Radiohead? Are they going to be able to survive three 10+ hour days at Coachella?
For the record, you are way cooler than my parents, who took me to see Garth Brooks for my first concert.
Hi Amyzzz... Coachella, 10 years from now... Age appropriate, or time to put the glowsticks away? Can you share your reasoning for your choice?
Its like the Infinite Monkey Theorem, if you put X amount of monkeys in a room with a typewriter and ask them to give you Shakespeare 99% of them will fling their shit at you while the other 1% will masturbate in the corner.
An innocuous question: If you could change your first and middle name to something else, what would it be? Cr****
Have Another Hit Of Colorado Sunshine
And what are the plans today for our person of the week? cr****
Have Another Hit Of Colorado Sunshine
Hey Amyzzz.
Please tell the tale of the worst physical pain you have ever experienced.
Best Disneyland ride and why?
Wow, 12 step meetings at Coachella, who knew? SOBERCHELLA.COM
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case....
Amy, who on this board have you met that you find to be surprisingly pleasant in person? Maybe someone you thought was a total asshole / imbecile on here, but later met in person and totally changed your perspective of them.
Best Disneyland ride is Splash Mountain. I love the details (brer rabbit's, brer fox's, and brer bear's houses), the characters, the SONGS, that section in the middle with the black lights and bee hives, I like how in the beginning there's a part where you're outside so you can get hot and ready to get splashed later on in the ride, and you NEVER KNOW for sure how much you'll get splashed. KEEP AWAY FROM THE LAUGHIN' PLACE, YOU MUST BEWARE THE FOX IS THERE, DON'T GO IN!~
2. I'll have to come back to this one. All I can think of now is Animal Collective.
3. I just got an orange Volkswagen GTI (hand-me-down from Jacob), and I really like it, but I've only gotten to use it for a month so far. We don't have much history together yet, but it's as cute as a button. It goes so much faster so much more easily than my minivan did, and I get a lot of compliments on it. We had it lowered too.
Ok, Amy. Here it is.
Describe(in detail) your perfect day. It doesn't have to take place in brown, hot Arizona. It can be as outlandish as you'd like. Or completely sedentary.
It's your day.
Also, can you ask Tommy what a pink taco is?
amy, are you dead?
You didn't answer my question.
Too rough a crowd? I feel you. Everybody clamoring for a minute to forget their Monday to Friday by soaking themselves in liquor and strangers with an almost fevered dismissal of substance. It's almost like the neon only flickers on Saturday nights.
$2 wells, though, so.
Happy 5 th everyone cr****
Have Another Hit Of Colorado Sunshine
McZzzizzzles, what'd you do this weekend?
Did you get hit by the monsoon last night?

What brands have Saab owners defected to? Polk investigates
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Sep 2nd, 2012 at 10:01AM
When a brand goes belly-up, it's natural for analysts to wonder where that brand's consumers will turn. General Motors has mothballed more car brands the last decade than most other automakers' have in their entire portfolios, so "Where did [insert brand here] buyers go?" has been a common question asked of The General. According to reports, it didn't do so well at retaining Oldsmobile owners (who supposedly went to Hyundai), or Hummer and Saturn buyers, but did get some return love from Pontiac owners. A consultant with Polk has turned the loyalty lens on Saab. The Polk Disposal Loyalty... Read More

Conway woman arrested on tax charge
Columbia, SC (August 21, 2012) --- Jessica West of Conway was arrested this morning by the SC Department of Revenue for one count of willfully assisting in the preparation of a false tax return. West is currently being held at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing.
In early 2012, West provided to a tax preparer a fraudulent W2 form that stated she had an income of $16,998 and $764 in state taxes withheld. Although she did not work for the employer listed, West requested a state tax refund in the amount of $764 to which she was not entitled.
If convicted of the felony charge, Jessica West, 28, could face up to $500 in fines and/or up to 5 years in prison.

Aaron Swartz's colleagues call his death tragic injustice
BY SANDRA GUY Business email@example.com January 14, 2013 11:36AM
Aaron Swartz, posing for a January 2009 photo in Miami Beach. AP Photo/The New York Times, Michael Francis McElroy
ThoughtWorks' statement
"Aaron was the target of a vindictive government prosecution by the Department of Justice and a disproportionate reaction. The supposed victim, JSTOR (the archive from which Swartz stole the documents), clearly conveyed that it did not support the charges. MIT, however, did not join JSTOR, and so the U.S. Attorney continued the prosecution.
"Aaron's life was heavily burdened by the prospect of 35 years in prison. While we welcome MIT's investigation, it is reprehensible that it took Aaron's death to cause MIT's President Reif to issue Sunday's statement.
"MIT could have taken action earlier to remove this unjust pressure on Aaron. What is needed from MIT is an apology to the family and policy changes to guarantee that this injustice never occurs again.
"ThoughtWorks also supports the growing calls for accountability for the prosecutorial abuse, directed by lead prosecutor Stephen Heymann under the supervision of U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz, that bullied Aaron. We demand an investigation into the Department of Justice's actions in this case.
"Today, there is a major battle over the fate of the Internet. Will we and future generations have an open, uncensored internet that is a force for democracy – or will the internet be owned and controlled by a few huge companies backed by the heavy hand of governments that serve them?
"In that battle, Aaron was a champion and inspiration to people across the world. Today, he is a tragic casualty. ThoughtWorks stood by Aaron, and will continue to support his vision."

Updated: January 15, 2013 5:12PM
Colleagues at Chicago-based consultancy ThoughtWorks described computer genius and Highland Park native Aaron Swartz as a thoughtful, kind young man who could explain complex ideas to anyone and who wanted open access to knowledge.
"We loved [Swartz] a lot, and we were privileged to have known him," said Gary DeGregorio, a vice president of ThoughtWorks, the Chicago-based consultancy where Swartz worked as a lead software developer since April.
"He was one of the most soft-spoken, kindest and yet very technically brilliant intellects we've come to know," said DeGregorio, a resident of Old Town and principal of the firm's East Coast market.
Swartz, 26, who co-founded popular social media site Reddit and at age 14 helped created RSS, hanged himself in his New York apartment. He faced 35 years in prison on charges he stole 4.8 million scholarly journal articles and documents from subscription-only archive JSTOR. The articles were stored on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology computer network. He had pleaded not guilty and faced trial in April.
On Sunday, MIT President L. Rafael Reif said the university will start an internal investigation into its role in Swartz's prosecution.
Hours after his statement, MIT's website was hacked and some web pages were turned into a memorial to Swartz. MIT, which Swartz's family and friends blamed for not standing up for him and even egging on the prosecution, confirmed Monday that its home page went down Sunday because of a "denial of service" attack.
The hacking community known as Anonymous claimed responsibility for the attack in a Twitter post. The statement on the hacked pages described Swartz' prosecution as "a grotesque miscarriage of justice" and called for a reform of computer-crime and copyright laws.
In a postscript, the hackers wrote, "We do not consign blame or responsibility upon MIT for what has happened, but call for all those feel heavy-hearted in their proximity to this awful loss to acknowledge instead the responsibility they have — that we all have — to build and safeguard a future that would make Aaron proud, and honor the ideals and dedication that burnt so brightly within him by embodying them in thought and word and action."
ThoughtWorks lent its support to calls for an investigation into the prosecutors' case and decried MIT's role and supported Swartz's family and partner's belief that MIT and the Massachusetts U.S. Attorney's Office "contributed to his death."
A statement the firm issued Monday said in part: "Today, there is a major battle over the fate of the Internet. Will we and future generations have an open, uncensored Internet that is a force for democracy — or will the Internet be owned and controlled by a few huge companies backed by the heavy hand of governments that serve them?
"In that battle, Aaron was a champion and inspiration to people across the world. Today, he is a tragic casualty. ThoughtWorks stood by Aaron, and will continue to support his vision."
Swartz had spent the past six months working in the New York office on a project he initiated called VictoryKit — software designed to let people start their own Internet-based movements about issues that concerned them. The code was open-sourced so developers could freely access its capabilities.
Swartz brought his idea to ThoughtWorks because the company is known for its social impact program, which works with major nonprofits such as GetUp!, UNICEF and the Grameen Foun
"His project was to enable individuals to start campaigns, to be heard by their politicians in a way an uneducated person might not be able to do before," said Tiffany Lentz, a principal and general manager the New York office. "He was able to communicate his idea to folks like myself, a neophyte in the activist space, and that takes great communication skills."
The project comprised software that let people describe their mission and connect with others online to rally them to the cause.
Lentz and DeGregorio said Swartz didn't talk much about his prosecution on his lawyer's advice, but he felt strongly that information should be freely available because information is the equivalent of power in today's world.
ThoughtWorks will hold a "day of remembrance" for Swartz on Tuesday morning at its office during the time of his funeral.

Gardening 101 - Catching Up
Hello again! Well, it is the end of January and there is a lot that can be done now and in the next weeks as you get ready for your spring garden.
We've found that having a plan and sticking to it makes gardening a much easier chore. Yes, some call it a chore and some call it 'nirvana'; however, almost everyone will agree there is nothing quite like the satisfaction and gratification you and your entire family can achieve from growing your own.
So, let's catch up. If you are a gardener who doesn't have a "formalized" plan or if you are growing your own garden for the very first time, there are a number of things you can do to prepare and get ready for the upcoming gardening season, starting now, in order to avoid that last weekend rush to fix the tiller (or buy one), to rush out to the local store to buy your seeds or plants, hoping they have not already run out (and usually paying higher prices), and suffering the inevitable blisters and aching back that trying to get it all done in one weekend will net you.
One of your most valuable tools may be your own garden journal. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, though we have seen some that include calligraphy-style writing and gorgeous photos. The purpose of your garden journal is to remind you in the years going forward what worked and what didn't; what you planted and what you wished you had planted; which crops performed best and which were utter failures (yes, you will have those—everyone does); what fertilizers you used to feed and what solutions to deal with pests; where you purchased your seeds or plants; where the best prices were; and even a map of your garden so the following year you can rotate your crops to different spots, making the necessary nutrients more available throughout each season. Whatever information you think you may find useful next year should be jotted down this year.
Now through February 2, 2013
Let's get started! Now is the time, if you have not already done so, to check the viability of seeds left from previous years. For the most part, seed packets contain more seeds than the average backyard gardener will plant. If they've been stored in a cool, dark and dry place, any seeds you bought last year should still be good. Onions, parsley and parsnips may be exceptions to this rule. The germination rate for these usually declines greatly after the first year. (A hint: Onions like cooler temperatures, so plan for both a spring and fall planting.) Most other vegetable seeds have a longer shelf life, many of them surviving up to 4 or 5 years when stored properly.
You can test the viability of leftover seeds by sprouting a few. Just scatter about 10 seeds of each vegetable type on a separate damp paper towel. Fold it up, place it in a clear plastic bag near a heat source, like a sunny window, making sure you mark the bags with the type of seed. Check them after two or three weeks. If more than half the seeds have sprouted, they are good to go; on the other hand, if less than half have sprouted, throw them all out and start fresh this year.
We recommend you mark each seed packet with the year you purchase it and don't waste your time checking viability after 5 years. Beware seed packets sold in "discount dollar-type" or "merchandise clearance" stores, as these are often older and the germination rate may be quite diminished as a result. Some seed packets will have a sell-by date and some will even have a date they were packaged, so check for that date. Generally speaking, peppers, beets and okra will be viable for 2 years; tomatoes, spinach, beans, broccoli, carrots lettuce, cucumbers, and peas will germinate well for up to 3 years; and cabbage, Swiss chard, turnips and squash will be good for 4 years.
Now is also the time to check your stored produce from the previous year. This will include home-canned, frozen, dried and cold-stored items. Adjust your planned garden for those vegetables you don't need to grow this year or need to grow in smaller quantities. By the same token, if you ran out of salsa or canned tomatoes halfway through this past year, you will want to plant more of those vegetables to preserve a larger amount. It's very disappointing to run out and have to resort to store-bought canned goods when you have become accustomed to the fantastic flavor and much lower cost of your own!
Inventory and stock up on seed-starting supplies and tools. Many gardeners have their own methods for starting seeds and your list of supplies may differ greatly from your neighbors'. For example, "old pros" may start their seedlings in Dixie cups or egg cartons, while others prefer the mini table-top seed starting trays you can buy. The first option requires you providing the soil mix for germination and feeding your seedlings, as well as finding creative ways to keep the moisture consistent and enough sunny window space to keep every seed happy. The second option comes in different sized trays, with the soil and nutrients already in place and a plastic dome for moisture retention. The trays are space-savers and look much neater on your kitchen table than a collection of paper cups and egg cartons, though some of our gardeners claim to be happiest when the family is relegated to eating in the living room or standing up to eat while the seeds are "baking."
As you complete your inventory, make a list, and then stock up on what you need to get started. If you're making your own seeding mix to fill your own seed-starting containers, we suggest using 1 part sphagnum peat moss to 4 parts fine vermiculite. Though there are many commercially made and homemade recipes for seed-starting mix out there, we think simple and inexpensive is best. Then, you can either prefill your seeding containers, letting them sit until ready to plant, wetting them as you sow your seeds, or you can mix your seeding mix in a large plastic bucket or container, mixing with enough water to make it very moist (not soaking wet), and filling your seed starting containers with already moistened planting medium as you sow your seeds. Do what works best for you.
Slow-growing herbs, such as parsley and thyme, as well as many others, can be started now for transplant into the garden later. In fact, if you have a growing light or the ideal southern-exposed winter window, you can grow many herbs in indoor pots year-round or move them in and out as the weather allows.
If you have not already done so, you should order your asparagus crowns now. Asparagus comes in both female and male plants, the male plants producing the most desirable spears in terms of size and texture. The crowns you order should be one year old and preferably male. Jersey Giant, Jersey Knight and Jersey Supreme are our asparagus varieties of choice. A perennial vegetable, you will want to prepare your bed where it can remain undisturbed for the next 20 years or so. Asparagus should get plenty of sunlight, and the soil should be loosened and should be at a temperature of about 50°F. Ten crowns is the recommended amount to feed one asparagus lover for a year; multiply this by the number of asparagus lovers you plan to feed and plant extra if you are an "uber-asparagus fan," so you can freeze some to last through the winter. Asparagus can also be used as a great ornamental and a wonderful border or hedge plant, with the plants, after harvesting, being allowed to grow to produce tall, ferny-looking tops. Think outside the garden-box when deciding where to grow your asparagus. Also remember that you should not harvest the first year, allowing your asparagus bed to more fully mature before harvesting the second and subsequent years. (A really good reason to get started now!)
February 3 through February 16
This brings us to the most exciting part of your garden preparation. Start planting some seeds. Cold hardy vegetables, such as celery, onions and leeks, can be started now. They tend to germinate somewhat slowly, so getting an early start is essential. These vegetables can also survive spring frosts and can be planted in the garden as soon as the soil starts to thaw and is dry enough to be worked. Gloves are optional!
Check the compost pile and turn it if it has started to thaw. If you have a tumbling composter bin, all the better; if, however, you don't have a compost pile or bin, it's never too late to start one. This is the place to discard dead leaves, grass clippings and other biologic yard debris, as well as any vegetable waste from your kitchen, such as the tops of radishes or potato skins. Cooking with butter or bacon grease? Don't throw those leftovers in the compost pile, though egg shells are an exceptional source of natural calcium for your vegetable garden. The interior of most compost piles will still work their magic over the winter, albeit a lot more slowly. Compost is one of the most economical and planet-friendly options for providing exceptional nutrition for your vegetables and flowers, as well as having superb soil-building properties.
Some gardeners will test the pH of their soil now, though ideally this should be done in the fall, with the "fix" to raise or lower the pH taking some time to occur. The ideal pH for growing the healthiest vegetables is between 6 and 7. Inexpensive pH testers are available or you can check with your local Country Extension office. These same people can make recommendations as to what amount of ground limestone (to raise the pH) or granulated elemental sulfur or sphagnum peat (to lower the pH), should be added. Gardens will grow with pH levels below 6 or above 7, just not as well, so if yours tests low or high, keep this in mind for your "to-do in the fall" list—another good entry idea for your personal garden journal.
You should also have all of your garden tools either repaired or replaced by now, and sharpened as needed. You cannot believe the difference a sharp hoe or spade can make when it comes to the ease with which garden work can be accomplished, and handles for shovels, spades and hoes are replaceable and much cheaper than buying a whole new tool. Start your electric or gas tools, change the oil, replace spark plugs, and ensure every single one is in good working order. A broken tool, hand or power, can derail the best garden plans.
Pssst! Valentine's Day is a great time to buy your avid gardener something other than a box of chocolates or bouquet of blossoms, neither of which will last. A large basket (big enough to carry out to the garden to harvest with) filled with seed packets, fancy garden gloves, garden markers and the ideal card or poem can show how very thoughtful you are.
February 17 through 23
At this point, any seeds that take 10 to 12 weeks for maturation, such as celery, should be sown in your seed-starting trays now, or very soon, in order to be ready for transplant when you are. Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage also fall into this category and your tomato plants will grow best if you start them soon, in larger seed-starting containers, allowing them to develop a stronger root system before putting them in the ground or in your outdoor containers.
It is also the time to start your dill, cilantro and faster-growing herbs for indoor pots, planting those herbs you will use to prepare or preserve the harvest from your garden.
Our goal is to help you, novice or expert gardener, have a more stress-free and successful growing season and harvest. Has this helped? We sure hope so. Look for our next article on February 22 as we provide you with helpful suggestions for what you can do during the month of March, in advance of planting your vegetable garden in June.

We did 2-2-1, 2-2-1. The intent was to go 2-2-1, 1-2-2, but there was some confusion and a taunt was delayed. Next week, 2-2-1, 1-1-2, 1-1-2 will be the order we use.
The 2-2-2, 2-2-2 plan is infinitely simpler, but you do have three points where if Putricide is slow on applying the debuff, you more or less autowipe.
Also, the room does seem to have a maximum slime pool count, similar to the Mimiron flames having a maximum number. The soft enrage is primarily the debuff, as well as the hard 10 minute enrage.

My daughter is taking her daughter to see Santa today & it's bringing back some good memories for me. Each year, my Mom took us to the North Pole @ Macy's Herald Sq to see Santa, then we'd go to Rockefeller Center & watch the skaters. When we got older, we'd skip Santa & go to the Christmas show @ Radio City. Then, we outgrew going to the city w/our parents & a magical annual trip just kind of disappeared. It was great fun. Anyone else have good memories of Christmas in NYC?
I still have some photo's of my visit to Santa at Bloomindale's on East 59th. Recall Santa being on the top floor near the Toy Dept..
I once had a spinster aunt, who lived and worked in Manhattan. Once a year after high school I would meet her during the Christmas month in the big city. One year we may have gone to the Radio city music hall to see the Christmas show and the Rockettes. Then another year we would go to Macy's to see all the Xmas displays. She would often buy me a gift from the toy train counter for my display at home. From there we would go take a look at the big tree in Rockefeller Plaza, then trip to Mama Leone's for dinner to make the day complete. She was a great person and when Xmas time roles around I often think of that special day I spent with my Aunt Betty.
kid going to macys on Herald Square to see santa Claus. I also remember that you had to go up the wooden escalator steps (after the metal ones ran out on 5 or 6) to get to Santas. We took our kids there for several years before we left NYC...great memories.
And there are still wooden escalators on the upper floors of Macy's.
I remember the old wooden escalators... don't get your foot caught.
I ,too took my kids to Macy's to see Santa. We check all the window diisplays. Gimbals Had a nice one also.I loved the old Macy's with the wooden escalators and the wooden floors. Great memories and Santa picturesof the past.
Christmas is around the corner. It is feel already.
