This article was written by Coupons.org's contributor, Ella Davidson. Coupons is a coupons and deals site that offers consumers insight on how to effectively save money. Coupons' consumer information has been featured on CNBC.
Marketers have long known that factors as seemingly simple as color can have major impacts on how consumers react to advertisements and coupons. Without being conscious of it, consumers' brains respond to certain colors and color schemes differently, and are profoundly influenced by these unconscious reactions that happen before they are even aware of having formed an opinion. They can influence how customers feel about products and retailers which, in turn, has dramatic impact on the success or failure of the business. So which colors can cause customers to feel drawn to a product or organization, and how can businesses control the subconscious reactions of consumers to them?
Not only is red a bright, eye-catching color but it actually causes a physical reaction within the human body. Seeing the color red causes an increase in heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure. This intense physical reaction can mean major impact for retailers who choose to use it. On top of the unconscious physical response viewers have to red, it also inspires feelings of excitement and passion. For retailers who want consumers to have the same enthusiasm for a product that they have, red is a top choice.
A color that viewers have similarly strong reactions to as red is black. Black first and foremost demonstrates a feeling of power and authority. Companies wishing to establish a strong sense of foundation and lasting success can increase the power of their words with black text and images. Black is also the classic color of text, and implies a company that is confident that they are offering a strong, stable product or idea.
Blue is a calming color that puts consumers at ease and makes them feel comfortable. For businesses offering products or services that provide reassurance to consumers, blue is the favored way to go. It inspires feelings of loyalty and trustworthiness in viewers, which makes it a common favorite among advertisers. Blue puts consumers at ease and makes them feel that they know - and can trust - the organization they are seeing.
Orange is a color that entices consumers and couponers simply because it is different. Because orange is so uncommon in traditional advertisements and marketing, it immediately catches the viewer's eye, which is important in a marketplace where viewers are inundated with words and images. Orange implies that a business has a little spunk and can provide a unique or exciting experience. It draws the viewer in by surprising them and can make a business stand out from similar competitors.
Whether we like it or not, the color green makes us think of money. Green is a favorite color choice of financial companies because it implies wealth, success, and growth. Consumers are drawn to green also because of its connection to the natural world which has both calming effects and also triggers feelings of growth and prosperity. Green is a complex color for consumers and couponers because it at once puts them at ease about an organization and also gets them thinking about their money and hopes for financial success.
Choosing the right color for an advertisement or coupon can have a dramatic effect on the real-word impact of that product's success. Even savvy consumers who weigh every option based on objective, practical factors cannot control the subconscious reaction they have to a good or bad color choice. Reaction to color is often the first feeling a consumer feels about a product or offer, before they even form a coherent opinion in their minds, and that first reaction lasts. Whether hoping to inspire trust, excitement, or intrigue within customers for their offers, companies must be aware of the powers of color to draw people to them, and use it in their best interest.

Series shifts to Cardinals' house, with no DH allowed
Papi starts at first behind Peavy vs. Kelly at Busch, where Cards thrive
BOSTON -- The Cardinals won 21 of their last 26 regular-season games at Busch Stadium. They're 5-1 at home in the playoffs.
The 109th World Series will be decided between the foul lines. But the fact that the setting will be St. Louis for the next three games has to give the Cardinals a warm and fuzzy feeling after they evened the series at a game apiece with a 4-2 win in Game 2 on Thursday night at Fenway Park.
With that, the home-field advantage swings to the Cards. Location, location, location. St. Louis won 54 games at home during the regular season, second most in the Major Leagues.
"It's not that we do anything differently," catcher Yadier Molina said before the Cardinals staged a light workout Friday afternoon in preparation for Saturday's Game 3 (7:30 p.m. ET airtime on FOX, 8:07 p.m. first pitch). "But to play in front of your fans, that's the key, I think."
Right-hander Jake Peavy will start for the Red Sox against Cards right-hander Joe Kelly. And that matchup offers its fair share of intrigue.
Peavy is the veteran, 32 years old with over 300 starts on his resume, who was acquired from the White Sox to bolster Boston's rotation at the non-waiver Trade Deadline. While he's not the same pitcher who twice won the National League ERA title for the Padres and the NL Cy Young Award in 2007, he has the edge in experience.
Peavy has not, however, had overwhelming success in the postseason. While he held the Rays to one run in 5 2/3 innings in the American League Division Series, overall, he's 0-3 with a 10.31 ERA in four career postseason starts.
"There are absolutely no excuses [Saturday] night," Peavy said. "This is what I lived my whole life for. I'm as prepared as I'll ever be, physically and mentally."
Kelly, 25, is part of the Cardinals' arsenal of young arms. He's in only his second year in the big leagues, but he made seven relief appearances in the 2012 playoffs and three starts this year. One interesting thing about Kelly's Game 3 start is that it will be the first time he's pitched since Oct. 16.
"There's been more than once that I can remember that I've had a very long layoff and I came out and still did my job," Kelly said. "It's something that I don't think about. It's something that people bring to my attention. It's not like I'm going, 'Wow, I haven't toed the rubber in a while, I feel kind of rusty.'"
Case in point: When Kelly started against the Braves on July 27, he hadn't pitched in more than two weeks. But he threw 6 1/3 shutout innings.
Red Sox manager John Farrell noted that this will be Kelly's first career start against Boston.
"The one thing that [St. Louis rookie Michael] Wacha had going in his favor [in Game 2], in addition to being a very talented young guy, is familiarity," Farrell said. "This will be the first time that we'll face Kelly. We've got a little bit of a read on him through our advance scouting reports, but still, first-hand experience in the batter's box goes a long way. That presents a unique challenge."
Kelly, too, said the Cardinals have the edge at Busch Stadium because they feed off the excitement of their fans.
"The main difference is the crowd, the fans," Kelly said. "In the postseason, every strike is huge. Every out is huge. Every hit we get is big, even if we don't score."
Molina has 22 career at-bats against Peavy and is the catcher for Kelly. He was asked to compare and contrast the two pitchers.
"I haven't faced Peavy in many years," Molina said. "He was nasty then. When I was younger, he was one of the pitchers I admired most. He really knew how to pitch. Kelly, like I've said many times, our young guys aren't scared. They're going to go after people. Kelly has the power sinker with the big curveball. If he makes his pitches, we're going to be fine."
Another reason why the Cards will be happy to be home is that, playing under NL rules, Boston will be without a designated hitter. Farrell said Friday that David Ortiz will move from DH to first base and Mike Napoli will take a seat on the bench.
Still, the Red Sox believe they're up to the challenge.
"I think we're all right," said left fielder Jonny Gomes. "I like where we're at. We're going to St. Louis, and unless there are three crazy games, we're going to come back [to Boston] and rock and roll for our fans.
"We have a nice hostile environment here ourselves. They've got a lot of championship flags hanging over that scoreboard. It says a lot about the history of their organization. It's an organization that's won a bunch in the past and has won recently. They're right up with our fans as far as being educated. They say it's going to be a sea of red over there, but we've got some vets here, and I think we can handle it."
Shane Victorino -- who spent most of his career with the Phillies and the last two months of 2012 with the Dodgers before signing with the Red Sox as a free agent last offseason -- has more than 100 career at-bats in St. Louis, and he said there's no reason for his teammates to fear Busch Stadium.
"It's not a difficult place to play," Victorino said. "It's a fun atmosphere. You've just got to go in there with a positive attitude. I'm not worried about going there. It's a great stadium, great atmosphere, great fans. You've just got to go and do what you can. I don't pay attention to [their record there]. I don't care what they are. I'm going in there with that attitude. [I'm not] going in there with any disrespect, but I can't go in there with that mindset.
"Obviously, we know what kind of team they are. We know it's going to be hard-fought games and you have to minimize mistakes. But we went into Detroit [during the AL Championship Series] and played well there. Again, it's a tough task, but that's what I look at."

It was cold foggy and i honestly thought there were 100's of sharks around me. It gave me such a bad vibe I couldnt even enjoy myself. I was wondering if anyone has ever been to a spot where they might not ever go back due to it just being sketchy( locals, sharks, or just a crazy spot).

When should you be screened for prostate cancer?
UPDATED 2:33 PM CDT Jul 02, 2013
According to the Mayo Clinic, it is a bit controversial as to when men should start getting screened for prostate cancer.
Some organizations say men in their 40s should start getting checked.
If a person has a history of prostate cancer in his family or has other risk factors, it's generally recommended he get checked earlier than 40.
The Mayo Clinic recommends you work with your physician to determine when you should be screened.

Two towns are at the same elevation and are connected by two roads of the same length. One road is flat, the other road goes up and down some hills. Will an automobile always get the best mileage driving between the two towns on the flat road versus the hilly one, if operated by a perfect driver with knowledge of the route? Is there any hilly road on which a better mileage can be achieved?
This question has an open bounty worth +200 reputation from Dan Brumleve ending in 3 days.The current answers do not contain enough detail. I'm not really convinced the accepted answer is correct. |
"Is there any hilly road on which a better mileage can be achieved?" The answer is: YES. Let's just use three simple reasonable assumptions: 1) There is rolling friction 2) There is air friction which increases with speed 3) In the graph of power vs gas consumption, there is a peak (a maximum) note: (power)/(gas/time) has the same units as energy/gas. If there was no air friction and rolling friction was a constant, we'd want to run the engine at this peak until we could just coast the rest. However, because there is air friction, it may actually be better for gas mileage to run below this power output. That is the trade off on the flat road. An appropriately shaped hill lets us beat this trade off, because we can go into a gear so that we go very slow essentially giving all our engine power into gravitational energy. We just coast to the hill (or after the hill), with the engine off. Viewed this way, the answer is obvious, since we are essentially using the hill as a gravitational battery. It lets us beat the flat straight away, because we can give that energy back at 100% efficiency compared to the < 100% efficiency of the motor in the "air friction with speed" vs "power output vs gas consumption" tradeoff we are forced into with the flat road. The best road I believe would then be just enough slope to allow rolling against friction all the way until a steep hill right at the end. EDIT: Some of the comments and other answers to this question are quite bizarre. To make it clear, I am not claiming that all hilly roads are better. The question asked "Is there any hilly road on which a better mileage can be achieved?" The answer is YES. Nor am I claiming that this depends only on the road, as it clearly depends on how the driver decides to run the engine for speeds along the route. Again, the question seems clear on this, as it says to consider the car "operated by a perfect driver with knowledge of the route". So I am not sure where the confusion is coming from. So I am extending discussion here, in hopes to clear that confusion up. There are three places where stored or mechanical energy is lost to heat: the engine performance curve, the rolling friction of the tires on the road, and the air friction. The tire friction is to good approximation a constant, while the air friction increases with speed. Putting this all together: the total mechanical energy used to get from A to B: $E = mgh|_A^B + \int_A^B (F_{air} + F_{rolling}) ds$ Since A and B are at the same elevation in this problem, the gravitational potential energy terms sum to zero and are the same for both routes. To good approximation the rolling friction is a constant, then if the length of the road is L: $E = L F_{rolling}+ \int_A^B F_{air}(v) \ ds$ So the rolling friction is the same between the two routes. The only thing left then is the engine performance curve (the efficiency at which we can get the mechanical energy from the gas) and the air friction. The answers neglecting the engine performance curves, or air friction, are thus neglecting the real difference between these routes. I hope I made that abundantly clear now. It is easy to see that if the engine performance curve was flat (a constant), then on a flat road, we'd want to go very slow (the limit v->0 is the best driving strategy for gas mileage in this unrealistic case). However, in realistic cases (and as I took as one of my three assumptions in my answer above) the engine performance curve will have a peak. There is now a trade off between how far off peak performance we run the engine, and how much mechanical energy we waste on air friction. The details of solving this require detailed knowledge of the engine performance curve, but the general result that there is a trade off is clear regardless. The issue is that on a flat road: the engine can only generate mechanical energy in the form of kinetic energy, and kinetic energy in turn causes more energy loss in air friction. Now consider the case where the road slopes just enough to a hill at the end, that we can just coast down to the hill, and only need to use the engine to get up the hill. (Or, alternatively, as other poster suggested, a hill at the start, and then coast the rest of the way.) When running the engine now, we can generate mechanical energy in the form of kinetic energy and gravitational energy. So a hill allows us to run the engine closer to its peak performance, since we can put the engine output into gravitational energy (which has no loss over the trip) as opposed to just kinetic energy (which we get losses in air friction). |
In a simple minded way I would say that the flat road for the same miles and the same speed would be more economical: Moving the car uphill against gravity takes extra energy which is not being gained coming downhill because of braking (constant speed) and not turning off the engine for safety. For each car there is an economic rpm , mine is at 2500 rpm . One can use that on a flat road, but a hill needs lower gears going up , not the economic rpms, and this is not gained back due to braking downhill so I cannot see how a hilly road can be more economical in any case. edit: Looking at the preferred answer which claims gains by the method of driving the car I searched for a curve of rpms to fuel consumption and power output. Surprisingly there are not many out in the links. Here is the only one I found probably scanned from an engineering textbook. I observe that consumption goes up with rpm. Going uphill needs more rpm. I will also add that most of the inefficiencies are in heating the engine, and the higher rpm the hotter the engine. Let me simplify the problem: If I pump 100 litres of water up hill and let it run down hill. Will the kinetic energy of the running water be greater than the energy utilized in pumping it up? In the best of conditions, without the inefficiencies of pump, it will break even. In the car analogue then one is playing with inefficiencies of flat versus hill and maybe a computer program with real car data would give a definitive asnwer. |
Unfortunately the answer very much depends on the poorly specified "an automobile" portion of the question. We'll use a riding lawnmower to prove the hilly case:
A riding lawnmower's engine and gear train is so inefficient that it will consume the same amount of gas riding on a the specified slight incline as it will riding on a flat surface. For the first half of both routes, the same amount of fuel is consumed. For the second half, the flat route requires more fuel, but the hill route does not. Therefore with the efficiency of the engine assumed, the hill route could take up to 50% less fuel than the flat route. If we scale this up to a regular car, then we need only pay attention to the following:
Internal combustion engines have a lower bound for energy output. You can't get an automobile engine to put out some fraction of this lower bound when it's running - it's spending the same amount of fuel whether you're drawing 100 watts or 500 watts. Once you get into the higher end, the engine consumes fuel at a rate that corresponds to output energy. Fuel consumption only increases from this lower bound. This is why the riding lawnmower is an easy case - the total range of efficiency of the riding lawnmower is so small, that there's no point in that range where going faster (therefore spending less fuel due to time spent driving) will use less total fuel. However, some cars will have such low air resistance, and such high efficiency at higher speeds, that the flat route will consume less than the hilly route, because even the slight slope we're positing will make a 2x difference in the energy required to drive the whole route. Therefore the question is inadequately specified to answer for the general case. |
If the hill permits hypermiling to be done. In the most idea case, at the top of the hill the driver would turn off the ignition and shift into neutral, and descend unpowered.[Don't try this as your power brakes and power steering won't work as expected]. I assume the hill is just the right grade to maintain speed unpowered. The advantage comes from avoiding engine braking (losses within the engine/transmission) during the downhill leg. Of course this also requires the engine to not lose much efficiency during the climb. Hybrid cars work like this, charging the battery resembles the uphill climb, and using the battery in "stealth" mode resembles the downhill portion. So hypermiling is simply using gravity as a low tech (but very efficient) hybrid. If you leave the car in gear on the downhill, and thus suffer from the engine braking during the descent I doubt you get the benefit. So if you are a legal driver, you may only see the milage improvement if you drive a hybrid, which is designed to shut the internal combustion motor off when it doesn't need the power. [Of course the hybrid has the additional advantage, that if the hill is too steep, the excess energy (within limits) can be captured by the battery. I'm assuming here that speed is constant. It is almost a trivial excercise to show that we can trade off travel time versus fuel consumption. But modern society rarely gives us the option (especially with other cars on the road). If we assume linear engine braking, then the total engine braking loses for a given trip are proportional to the total number of revolutions the engine made. Running at a fixed RPM, but at higher torque, then in neutral with the engine either idling (or turned off) minimizes the total number of engine revolutions for the trip. |
I am not sure whether this is primarily a "car" question or a "physics" question. As a physics question there are a few points to note: the fact that the roads are the same length and that one is hilly means that the flat road is necessarily curved between the two towns. Also the time to travel is not relevant here. So the flat drive must use petrol/gas for the entire journey between the two towns. However the hilly route only needs to use petrol/gas for the uphill portions: it can glide downhill. So the hilly route will use less fuel if the following equation gets satisfied: Fuel used uphill < Fuel used on Flat (at any speed) EDIT: (With more explanation of the physics.) The physics of this situation involves the use of internal power with which the elementary mechanics examples are misleading. Elementary mechanics examples consider objects moving in frictionless planes. In order to set such an object moving it requires some impulse I for a short time to reach a velocity $v$. Thereafter the object can travel from A to B without further energy. Indeed it can travel to any C (linear with AB) without any further energy. This fact, together with the elementary "conservation of energy" equation in the form E = T + V is the basis of both elementary mechanics examples and also fundamental physics examples. What is different about the "internal power" scenario is that, for reasons to be discussed below, movement from A to B requires energy. Furthermore movement from A to C will require a different amount of energy in general. In elementary physics examples this energy comes from the external potential V, but in "internal power" systems it comes from some compact fuel. For these reasons, although all the basic laws of physics still apply, simplistic applications of "conservation of mechanical energy" do not apply. The reason why movement from A to B requires energy is that the movement is not over a frictionless plane, but over a friction bearing road surface. The friction contributions are from: (a) Tyre against road - probably a constant (b) Internal friction in vehicle - proportional to $v$ (c) Air resistance - proportional to $v^2$ For these reasons a constant use of fuel is required to continue motion; with no additional use of fuel the vehicle will stop (on a flat road). So the equation has to take account of the amount of fuel used (=amount of energy used), and some approximations need to be made: So if a journey from A to B uses F units of fuel, a journey of twice the length uses 2F fuel. The solution proposed here uses 2F fuel for the flat journey and for the uphill journey will use: F + mgH units of fuel. This needs to be less than 2F. However there is still energy transfer in the downhill part resulting from the mgH potential energy transfered to kinetic energy: but this does not use fuel/ internal power in the extreme case. Recently I have just seen a TV programme showing "gravity racer" cars: no fuel on the downhill and speeds of 40mph+ were reached without much braking - lots of energy transfer of course. |
Answer: YES |
Yes - but it needs the right sort of hill. A family member, now sadly passed away, used to conserve fuel during 2nd world war by going into town down a hill with a very long and very gentle incline downwards and turning the engine off - the road is also pretty straight for about 3 or 4 miles. This is hinted at in the answer of Edward. Sorry, this has even less detail than others, but I hope it is of interest that this principle has been used in practice. |
absolutely. If you assume what Edward assumed, I can give you the optimal path. I'm assuming a gas engine, which has an optimal fuel curve and which has a fuel use when its on, even in neutral. Climb a hill immediately, at a speed governed by the ratio of gas used to climb it/gas used by idling. There will be some optimal climb rate. Example: if you burn 1 gal/hr, and climbing the hill at 200mph costs you 1 gal in 2 minutes (purely imaginary example) then the right answer is somewhere less than an hour, but more than two minutes, whatever gives you the minimum fuel use. Then, turn off the engine, and crawl downhill toward the goal. The optimal shape is the minimum hill that will overcome rolling friction at a crawl. |
This is a question which might be best for "Click and Clack" on "Car Talk." The question is a bit unclear on a couple of things. So I will assume that the path length on the straight road and the hilly road is the same. I will also assume that the average velocity of the drive on the two roads is the same. Clearly if the straight road is much longer then the hilly road would be more economical. So suppose you drove the hilly road and you take your foot off the fuel on the descending portions of the drive. The idea is then that the potential energy you "banked" in driving up is converted to kinetic energy, and your gas mileage on the trip down is near "infinity." If you use the brakes a lot on the way down, which might be advised for safety, then some of that energy is dissipated as heat. Would the two be equal? I don't think so. The reason is thermodynamics, for a good chuck of the energy used to climb the hills is lost as heat, so you recover a rather small amount of that energy as kinetic energy on the way down. We might think of the thermodynamics of the hilly drive as thermodynamic losses of the straight drive plus thermodynamic losses which are incurred in raising the potential energy of the car on the various hills. This is even more so if the engine idles on the way down, which is advised with modern cars. An old VW bug might save a bit on saving this energy loss with old fashioned brakes. |

I'm only posting real quick, because then I have to be off to finish planning for the first of four holiday extravaganzas that I'm celebrating. But I wanted to tell you a couple of awesome things.
The first is this fancy new website is up - www.worldofamandahocking.com And it's fabulous. Other people who aren't me even think so.
One of my favorite things on the new site is Elora's Gallery. The paintings that Elora make in Switched and Torn are re-created here. There's three up now, but there's even more to come!
Other extra rad things include: the Changeling Quiz (see if you're a changeling), the Five Tribes (definitions of the five major troll tribes), and Videos (links to all kinds of videos about me and the books).
There's actually way more than that, and there's more content coming in the future, including the Castle Floorplan. So you should totes check it out, but only if you like checking out awesome things.
Also, I've updated all the pre-order information on the Trylle Trilogy to include links to the iBookstore. I also have a widget at the top, if you enjoy buying things through iBooks, as many of you do.
And, just throwing this out there - people are like, "Hey are the Trylle books going to be movies? I'd love to see them as movies! Please make them movies!" So far, I've done everything I can to get these into movies. The rest is actually up to you guys.
The best way to help ensure a movie is to sell a ton of books. Studios like numbers, and if the Trylle books are selling like hotcakes, they'll feel way more comfortable greenlighting the project. So, if you want to see these books as movies, I strongly encourage to buy them and tell other people to buy them. But if you don't want to, that's cool too. I understand. But I'm just keeping you in the loop.
Anyhoo, I should get back to preparing for the festivities! And if I don't talk to you before Christmas (which *fingers crossed* I won't, and I'll actually manage to stay off the interwebs for that long) -
Happy holidays to all, and to all a good night!

Stem cell transplantation — giving stem cells from a donor to a patient — is a means of treating certain hematologic cancers (such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma). The purpose of this study is to see if giving donor stem cells over several days helps the blood and immune systems recover more quickly than when stem cells are given all in one day (the conventional approach). Laboratory studies have suggested that recovery of the blood and immune systems may be faster when stem cells are infused over several days.
Patients in this study will be randomly assigned to receive stem cells in one day or over four days.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (Reuters) – President Barack Obama took his re-election campaign to Wisconsin on Saturday, as a new poll shows him surging in the state where liberal and conservative political ideologies have been sparring over unions, budgets and the public sector.
"We don't think government can solve every problem, but it's not the source of every problem, any more than all the folks that you hear are to blame out of Washington – you know, gays or immigrants or unions or corporations for that matter," Obama said in a speech at the Milwaukee Theater.
"We don't think that anybody is solely to blame for the challenges we face, but we do believe we're all responsible to solve those problems."
Obama won the state in the 2008 election, but a repeat of that victory is threatened by his opponent Mitt Romney's choice of running mate – Wisconsin native Representative Paul Ryan – and by the boost Republicans received when Governor Scott Walker won an election to recall him over a law limiting public workers' rights.
Obama is squarely ahead in Wisconsin, with an NBC-Wall Street Journal-Marist poll saying he has the support of 50 percent of likely voters compared with Romney's 45 percent.
The president also polled at 50 percent in two other swing states – Iowa and Colorado.
When Ryan was put on the ticket in August, Obama's advantage in Wisconsin had shrunk in some polls, and two polls had shown Romney leading by one point.
"I think you will see a tightening in the national polls going forward. What I care way more about is Ohio, Colorado, Virginia, Wisconsin, etc.," said Obama campaign manager Jim Messina. "I feel our pathways to victory are there. There are two different campaigns, one in the battlegrounds and one everywhere else."
Walker, who is supported by members of the conservative Tea Party and wealthy Republican donors, signed legislation in 2011 curbing the bargaining rights of unionized state workers and limiting their compensation.
That set off a wave of protests and a movement to recall Walker backed by the unions. Romney's grassroots supporters helped Walker win the recall vote in a blow to the Democrats that cast a doubt over whether Obama could win the state in November.
"Because of the recall election, they test-drove their car whereas in other states they haven't," said Messina. "It would make sense they're strong here, as are we. They are stronger than McCain was in '08, no question, on the ground," he said, referring to Republican Senator John McCain who lost to Obama four years ago.
Labor generally supports Democrats and the major unions have endorsed Obama, but some union members have expressed concern about his absence during the recall. Obama did not mention the conflict in his speech and, according to his campaign, did not meet with Walker during what was his first campaign visit to the state this year.
A state judge declared the law unconstitutional this month.
The Romney campaign's Wisconsin manager Danny O'Driscoll noted that since Obama won the 2008 election, the state has unseated long-serving Democratic Senator Russ Feingold, put Republicans in control of the state assembly, and elected Republicans to two congressional seats previously held by Democrats.
Since comments Romney made at a private fundraiser about 47 percent of Americans depending on the government were made public this month, the Obama campaign has seized on the opportunity to portray Romney as an out-of-touch elitist who does not care about the people he seeks to lead.
Still, two tracking polls conducted over the last week – Rasmussen and Gallup – put the presidential election at a dead heat.
While Romney spent Saturday promoting his ideas about security and space, his campaign greeted Obama with a billboard noting the president's absence from the state that read: "President Obama, in the 220 days you've been gone: Our national debt has increased $617 billion. 23 million Americans are struggling for work. Wisconsin can do better."

In 1996 he made his official stage debut in Matilde di Shabran at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro, where his expressive voice and astonishing agility made him an overnight sensation and led to his debut at La Scala the same year, aged only 23. Since then, he has appeared regularly at all the major international opera houses under the worldĺs leading conductors. As todayĺs bel canto tenor of choice, Flˇrez has won particular acclaim in the leading tenor roles of Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini, as well as in operas by Verdi (Rigoletto and Falstaff), Puccini (Gianni Schicchi),Gluck (Armide), Mozart (Mitridate)and Nino Rota (Il cappello di paglia di Firenze). In 2007 he broke a 75-year tradition at La Scala by singing an encore in Donizettiĺs Fille du regiment, the aria ôAh! mes amisö with nine high Cs, and he created a similar sensation in New York when he repeated the same feat at the Metropolitan in 2008. He is also active as a recitalist and concert artist in works including Rossiniĺs Stabat Mater. Recent seasons have seen him in Lĺelisir dĺamore at the Vienna State Opera and at the Met, Il barbiere di Siviglia in Lima, Le comte Ory at the Met, I puritani in Tokyo, Linda di Chamounix in Barcelona, Rigoletto in Zurich, Matilde di Shabran in Pesaro, Guillaume Tell in Lima and Pesaro, Les Pŕcheurs de perles in Madrid, La donna del lago at Covent Garden, and La Fille du rÚgiment in Vienna, as well as in a concert at Machu Picchu with Gustavo Dudamel and the Simˇn BolÝvar Symphony Orchestra. 2014 brings Sonnambula in Barcelona, Fille du rÚgiment at Covent Garden, RomÚo et Juliette in Lima, Cenerentola at the Met, Barbiere in Munich, Comte Ory at La Scala and La Favorite at the Salzburg Festival, as well as concerts in Marseille, Istanbul, Zurich, Geneva, Madrid, LiŔge, Baden-Baden, Ludwigshafen, Munich and Vienna. Juan Diego Flˇrez has been an exclusive Decca artist since 2001, recording numerous solo albums and complete operas on CD and DVD; many of them have won awards including Germanyĺs Echoand the Cannes Classical Award. Among his more recent releases are complete recordings of Belliniĺs La sonnambula, on CD with Cecilia Bartoli and on DVD with Natalie Dessay, Gluckĺs OrphÚe et Eurydice with Ainhoa Garmendia, Bel Canto spectacular – nominated for a Grammy® 2010 as ôBest Classical Vocal Performanceö – as well as a 2010 CD release of sacred songs entitled ôSantoö. 2012 saw the DVD release of Rossiniĺs Zelmira, recorded at the 2009 Pesaro Rossini Festival, while 2013 brought Rossiniĺs Matilde di Shabran from the Teatro Comunale of Bologna. Scheduled for release in 2014: his first all-French album ôLĺAmourö, a survey of operatic arias from Donizetti to Massenet. The Peruvian tenor has also received several other international criticsĺ prizes and been decorated with its highest accolade by the government of Peru. In 2012 he was designated a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and honoured as Kammersńnger in Vienna. |

Ichiro eyes hit 4K as surging Yanks host Blue Jays
Warren will make a spot start against Dickey in the Bronx
The way they quickly made up ground in baseball's toughest division may have occasionally been lost amid the daily drama surrounding Alex Rodriguez, but the Yankees just might be the hottest team in the American League.
Since getting swept by the White Sox in Chicago two weeks ago, the Bronx Bombers have gone 9-3, pulling within one game of the Orioles for third place in the AL East after Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium.
New York is 6 1/2 games behind Boston and Tampa Bay in the division and five games out of a Wild Card spot, with Cleveland and Baltimore still standing between the Yankees and Oakland.
"I think we're kind of creeping [in the standings] a little bit, but we've got a long way to go, we've got a lot of games," infielder Jayson Nix said Tuesday. "I think each game is very important, and we know that."
For different reasons, each at-bat has become important for Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, sitting at 3,999 career hits between Japan and the United States. He had a chance Tuesday to collect No. 4,000, and he'll get a few more Wednesday against Toronto knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, as the Blue Jays and Yankees square off in the Bronx.
"It's not just the 4,000; it's that you're getting a hit in a game," Ichiro said Tuesday. "If you don't produce, you're not going to play in games. Producing in games is what's good for me. Four thousand is just as important as any other number, for me."
On the other hand, the numbers haven't been on the Blue Jays' side at Yankee Stadium. Toronto fell to 0-8 at Yankee Stadium this season after losing both games of Tuesday's doubleheader. Dickey, who used to play a little farther southeast in Queens, will try to break Toronto's slide in New York on Wednesday.
Unlike last season, when Dickey ended up taking the National League Cy Young Award, the 38-year-old knuckleballer has struggled at times this year, going 9-11 with a 4.49 ERA.
The biggest obstacle this season has been the home run ball, as Dickey has allowed 27 this year, good for 1.4 homers per nine innings, up from 0.9 in 2012. On Friday against the Rays, the homer ball once again was an issue, as the veteran allowed a solo shot to Matt Joyce as part of a four-run night through seven innings.
Adam Warren, 25, will be toeing the rubber for the Yankees, and making just his second career Major League start. Warren made his only start on June 29 last season vs. the White Sox, and he was roughed up for six earned runs in 2 1/3 innings.
However, the young right-hander has proved more than capable as a reliever so far this season. Warren has a 3.57 ERA with 46 strikeouts over 58 innings this year out of the bullpen.
Yankees: Cano among exclusive company with 200 home runs
Robinson Cano entered exclusive company Tuesday.
Cano hit a three-run home run off of Esmil Rogers in the third inning of the Yankees' 8-4 victory in Game 1 of the club's doubleheader, marking his 200th homer as a Yankee.
"It means a lot," Cano said, who is now 16th on the all-time list in Yankees history. "As a kid, you always dream to be able to hit one. Then, to hit 200, it means a lot to me. Right now, we're in a situation where we need to win games. It's good to hit 200, but it's great to get a win."
"That's special," added manager Joe Girardi. "Two hundred home runs is a lot of home runs, and obviously, he's got a lot of career left in him. He had a big day, and he got us right back in the game with that three-run homer."
Cano finished the day 6-for-8 with five RBIs and a run scored, and he has hit safely in 14 of his last 15 games. With 23 homers this season, Cano has reached the 20-homer plateau for a fifth straight season.
After the home run, Cano is just two shy of tying Bill Dickey (202) for 15th place on the Yankees' all-time list.
Blue Jays: Bautista lands on DL
• Jose Bautista was removed from Tuesday's day game with soreness in his left hip, also causing him to miss the club's nightcap.
Bautista left the game in the fourth inning, and he was later placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left hip bone bruise.
The 32-year-old outfielder originally sustained the injury while sliding during the club's 2-1 victory over the Red Sox on Thursday.
"His hip flared up on him," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "He felt it a couple of days ago and didn't think it was that big of a deal, so he was able to play. But standing around the outfield -- [enduring] all of those pitches -- aggravated it, so he went to go get it checked out."
Bautista is hitting .259 with 28 homers, 73 RBIs, 82 runs scored, and has an .856 on-base plus slugging percentage.
• Kevin Pillar finally managed to get his first hit in the big leagues in the nightcap of the club's doubleheader on Tuesday against the Yankees.
Pillar hit a single off of New York starter Phil Hughes into center field, stopping an 0-for-17 skid to start his Major League career.
It was the only hit the 24-year-old managed Tuesday, although he did drive in his first run during the afternoon game.
Worth noting
• The Yankees' dominance over the Blue Jays continued in Tuesday's day-night doubleheader. By taking both games, the Bombers improved to 10-1 on the season vs. Toronto.
• The Blue Jays have lost 11 straight games in New York, and are 11-33 all time at new Yankee Stadium.

Commonly used in the British commonwealth countries, the term "batchmate" refers to a person who was in the same "batch" as you were in school, college, a military or administrative academy; or another intensive program where people get to know their cohorts quite well. The rough American equivalent is "classmate"; however, batchmate implies a closer sense of togetherness and bonding.

(From left) Drs. James McCurdy, Sherri Durica, and Thomas Whalen were honored at the 2010 Medical Staff Holiday Party. |
Three physicians were honored with awards by Norman Regional Health System. Drs. Thomas Whalen, James R. McCurdy and Sherri Durica were recognized for their achievements at Norman Regional's annual medical staff holiday party on Thursday, Dec. 9. Dr. Thomas Whalen was chosen as the 2010 Outstanding Physician by Norman Regional employees. Each year Health System staff vote for the doctor they feel personifies three traits: compassionate care of patients, building of collegial relationships and the pursuit of professional excellence. "Dr. Whalen works closely with our employees each and every day as a hospitalist," said David Whitaker, president and CEO of Norman Regional Health System. "Having the respect of our staff is a great honor and one that Dr. Whalen earns every day with his expert treatment and compassionate care of our patients." Dr. Whalen is currently the Health System's Chief of Staff Elect and was the chair of the Hospital Medicine Department. He graduated from medical school at the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his residency at Tulsa Regional Medical Center. Dr. James R. McCurdy won the Physician Peer Award. Each year Norman Regional physicians vote for one of their colleagues to receive this honor. "A vote of confidence from your peers is perhaps one of the best rewards a physician can receive," Whitaker said. Dr. McCurdy has served the Norman community for more than 30 years as a thoracic, vascular and general surgeon. He is currently the chair of the Surgery Department and in 1995 was Chief of Staff. He attended medical school at the University Of Oklahoma College Of Medicine and later completed his residence at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center's Department of Surgery. Dr. Sherri Durica was this year's recipient of the Harold R. Belknap Heart of Gold Award for service to the community. The award is presented to a physician who: promotes a sense of community pride and continuity, dedicates a significant time to the development of the next generation of leaders and healthcare providers, and exemplifies a volunteer spirit by offering their services to individuals and groups in need. This award is named after Dr. Harold Belknap, a physician and community leader. "Dr. Durcia has been very active in promoting youth in the Norman Community. She volunteers her time to go above and beyond for Boy Scout Troop 777," said Dr. Brian Yeaman, a friend and colleague of the late Dr. Belknap. |

This form is used in patches, svn, git etc. And I've created an alias for it:
alias diff='diff -Naur --strip-trailing-cr'
The latter option is especially useful, when somebody in team works in Windows; could be also used in commands like
svn diff --diff-cmd 'diff --strip-trailing-cr'...
If colordiff utility installed, it is sometimes handy to call this command. Of course, you should create an alias for it. E.g. svndiff.
I often use it to find recently added ou removed device, or using find in /dev, or anything similar.
Just run the command, plug the device, and wait to see him and only him
I had the problem that the Md5 Sum of a file changed after copying it to my external disk.
This unhandy command helped me to fix the problem.
**NOTE** Tekhne's alternative is much more succinct and its output conforms to the files actual contents rather than with white space removed
My command on the other hand uses bash process substitution (and "Minimal" Perl), instead of files, to first remove leading and trailing white space from lines, before diff'ing the streams. Very useful when differences in indentation, such as in programming source code files, may be irrelevant
Checks if a web page has changed. Put it into cron to check periodically.
Change http://www.page.de/test.html and email@example.com for your needs.
on a dpkg managed system this PATTERN will help you generate .deb files from source AND remove all the dev libs you had to install. i hate cluttering up my machine with rouge packages and headers.
it would be pretty darn easy on rpm systems as well. i just dont have a rpm managed system to test on right now.
NOTE, you sharp ones will notice that it uninstalls the deb you just made! yeah, but the deb is still there to do with it what you want, like re install it. or you can just grep -v after the diff
If you like to view what has been changed between revision 100 and the BASE on FILE. Meld will give you a nice overview.
This command takes a snapshot of the open files for a PID 1234 then waits 10 seconds and takes another snapshot of the same PID, it then displays the difference between each snapshot to give you an insight into what the application is doing.
This will cause diff to ignore any files whose path matches "*CVS*", ie any CVS control files.
This is useful when you're diffing two files of the same name in radically different directory trees. For example:
then run the command. Much easier on the eyes when you're looking back across your command history, especially if you're doing the same diff over and over again.
Makes sure the contents of "myfile" are the same contents that the author intended given the author's md5 hash of that file ("c84fa6b830e38ee8a551df61172d53d7").
