The Debates Won't Save Romney
If you're a Romney partisan, and you've seen Barack Obama move ahead in the polls over the last couple of weeks, you may be saying to yourself, "Maybe the debates can save him." After all, the four debates (three presidential, one VP) are the the only planned events between now and Election Day. Though you never know what kind of unexpected events might occur, tens of millions of voters will be watching. And so many times in the past, the race has been transformed by a dramatic debate moment.
Except that's actually not true. As John Sides lays out quite well, after all the sound and fury, debates almost never change the trajectory of a race. Of course, something never happens up until the moment that it happens, but there's strong reason to believe that the debates will change nothing this year in particular. But before I get to that, here's Sides:
Why are presidential debates so often inconsequential? After all, many voters do pay attention. Debates routinely attract the largest audience of any televised campaign event. And voters do learn new information, according to several academic studies. But this new information is not likely to change many minds. The debates occur late in the campaign, long after the vast majority of voters have arrived at a decision. Moreover, the debates tend to attract viewers who have an abiding interest in politics and are mostly party loyalists. Instead of the debates affecting who they will vote for, their party loyalty affects who they believe won the debates. For example, in a CNN poll after one of the 2008 debates, 85 percent of Democrats thought that Obama had won, but only 16 percent of Republicans agreed.
All those memorable gaffes—George H.W. looking at his watch, Michael Dukakis not pounding his lectern at the suggestion of his wife's rape and murder, Al Gore sighing—turn out not to have had any discernible impact on the elections. What was almost certainly the most disastrous debate performance of all—Dan Quayle's in 1988—did not, you may recall, prevent him from becoming vice president.
And this year is even less likely to produce anything significant. As James Fallows explains, Mitt Romney is at his best when he can prepare carefully, and at his worst when he's taken by surprise. Over the course of the 500 or so primary debates the Republicans held, he was clearly the most informed and serious-seeming of the GOP candidates. Of course, besting Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann in verbal combat doesn't exactly make you the Ted Williams of debating, but there's little doubt Romney will show himself to reasonably knowledgeable, for what it's worth. His problem, though, is that it isn't worth much. He doesn't need to convince Americans he can recite a ten-point plan; he needs to convince them that within him beats the heart of an actual human, one who understands and cares about them. The chances of him doing that are pretty slim.

First of all, Obama's lead in the poll average is based on several polls that routinely oversample Democrats and that are using the turnout model from 2008, which is unlikely to be repeated. If you look only and Gallup and Rasmussen, which are the two most reliable polls out there, the race is a statistical dead heat with anywhere from 5%-10% of the electorate still undecided. Obama's approval ratings still can't get above 50%, and that's very dangerous territory for any incumbent in a two-man race.
If the debates don't "save" Romney (and for the record. I don't share the author's pessimism in that regard), what WILL save him is an 8%+ unemployment rate (which everyone by now knows is really closer to 11%) and an exploding federal deficit which is threatening to ultimately crash our currency and bankrupt our country.

No doubt about it... and of the 23 million Americans that are not working these days or working below skill level, I'm guessing only a small handful of the most ideologically blinded would cast their vote for Obama (again). These are the folks that are really hurting and really need things to get better soon, something they know Obama has no intention of doing and has certainly made things vastly worse in the last 4 years. Considering that Obama won the election with a total of 54 million + votes in 2008, it will be interesting to see how that dynamic changes. Those folks all voted for hope in 2008 and none of them found any in Obama.

Not at all odd that you should place such confidence in Gallup's and Rasmussen's numbers. Like Fox News, their results are the ones you want to hear. Their samplings are tiny and usually involve the same participants over and over. So, don't be too disappointed come November 6.
Fri, 2012-09-21 10:33
What? Obama isn't up in the polls that are historically accurate. Romney's up. The liberal polls are unrealistically skewed towards Democrat voters -above even 2008 levels to say nothing of 2010 levels. So no. Obama's not doing fine like the media says. Don't trust the media. How many anti-Obama headlines have you seen compared to anti-Romney ones? It doesn't say so much about the two men as it does about the bias of those writing about them. You have to read both sides for balanced coverage because it doesn't exist in one place. How can you make an informed opinion on any topic if you rely on one point of view? You can't. Thanks for listening.

There have been a lot of anti-Romney headlines because Romney and his robot-like moron supporters are idiots, who commit gaffe after gaffe, who lie continually and who make up sh-it on a minute-by-minute basis. Obama is a very good guy, who doesn't lie. No-Drama Obama. Few headlines there.
What are you gonna do on Nov 8? Probably explode. Please, go right ahead.

Just for the record, it is dishonest to state opinions, wishes or beliefs as fact. I don't know if David77 knew he was lying or not, but of course, the statement is a dishonest one either way.

I have always worried about vote fixing, not with voter registration (which the Rep party is using to disuade voters with the least resources of time, money, transportation). Early voting and military voting is subject to humans inputting paper ballots into computers ... an opportunity to lose or destroy ballots before entering them (especially since voting administration employees are stacked heavily with friends, family and acquaintences of the same mindset as the political party in power in that area). I have also wondered about the security protocols and who checks the validity of the computer program registering the votes being entered. Any program can be so complicated that the programmer with bad intentions can create lines of code that may eliminate every 100th or 20th vote for the candidates they don't want in office. Even more insidious would be a code that shifts every 40th vote from one candidate to the other. That would double the impact and create a 5% change in votes. So, how are these programs checked and how often or how recently are they checked to ensure all ballots are beng registered correctly?

Obama has a lead, but it's a slim one. Romney is not charismatic, and that seems to be disuading a lot of people from voting for him. Nevertheless, a majority of people do not have a high degree of confidence in Obama. The debates may be Romney's best chance, or even his only chance, to win by doing well in a one-on-one debate with Obama. Ultimately, that's how Reagan beat Carter.

The real question is how will America save itself from a biased media? The false coverage or lack of coverage of these little things like Iran's nukes, Fast & Furious, security leaks, the Libyan murders, the "Obama, we're all Osama" protests, the increased poverty rates, the continuing unemployment, the increased costs of Obamacare, the "I won't rest until we create jobs" followed by the WH parties with the stars, etc. An independent press is paramount to the checks and balances of a free society. We no longer have that, so we can begin to mourn the loss of our liberty or we can find ways to expose the truth.

"An independent press is paramount to the checks and balances of a free society. We no longer have that, so we can begin to mourn the loss of our liberty or we can find ways to expose the truth."
These types of comments are usually made by conservatives, which seems to be the case for you. So lets look at a couple of facts, shall we?
Highest US circulation newspaper: Wall Street Journal, which daily pounds Obama for all the things which you mention.
Highest viewership, cable TV: Fox News, which has twice the viewership of liberal MSNBC, and which also hits Obama non stop.
Yes it sure sounds like we have no "independent" press here!! We are all such victims of the liberal media....except of course all those who read the WSJ, watch Fox, listen to Limbaugh and endless others on the radio.
Fri, 2012-09-21 14:03
Yes, MSNBC is one of BHO's strongest critics ("hits Obama non stop"). Wait...what? Have you ever read the WSJ? To say that it's news pages are conservative let's me know that your politics could possibly be left of Chairman Mao. Editorial pages yes, but news pages not even close. Actually, it's the opposite--especially the headline writers. Anyone who does not believe the press is obviously and overwhelmingly pulling for BHO has to be teetering on the edge of insanity.

Truth has a liberal bias. When you cut taxes, tax revenues go down. This is truth, and only morons believe otherwise. The news media reported that there were no WMD in Iraq. This was not bias, this was truth.
CONservatives are invariably stupid, paranoid, and failures. I'd hate to be you, because finding the door in a dark room is an advanced skill for people like you.
Sun, 2012-09-30 00:13
"Yes, MSNBC is one of BHO's strongest critics ("hits Obama non stop")"
You don't read English too well do you? I was talking about Fox.
And if you think the WSJ, which hits Obama hard 313 days a year, is soft on him outside the opinion pages, you have no idea about the mind of Rupert Murdoch and his WSJ/Fox empire.
I am always amused at how GOP fans come to places like this and whine like little babies about how their views are not expressed in the media, when they have such friends as Murdoch, O'Reilly, Hannity, Wallace, Hume, Beck, Limbaugh, Savage and others.
You poor things, you have no voice.....

I agree the media has lost its edge. Media seldom does its own investigative reporting with the exception of the little media coverage given to "truth meters" on political claims of both parties. Unfortunately I disagree with you view of the bias. Media coverage is overloaded with reports based on biased press releases from right wing groups calling themselves grassroots, the right wing ownership of most media outlets (especially all the Fox News stations which are not news but "opinion" based shows), and all the media coverage that can be bought to use propaganda and lies by omission paid for by the hundreds of millions of dollars being provided by big corporate interests like A.L.E.C. and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as a campaign money launderer. Even with all the advantages the ultra right wing has in this election, The Romney/Ryan plan and their own words have tripped them up because they actually believe that what is best for corporate profit optimizing is best for the country. Unfortunately, their definition of "the country" excludes everyone who is not making at least $250,000 a year or more.

It seems a bit lazy to write a whole column simply to say one three "Debates Don't Matter". Even ignoring the fact that he's ignoring cases where they did, if that's what you really believe, then you need to seriously ask the question of why we have them, and whether they should be abolished. If you don't do that, if all you're doing is expressing the opinion (or the wish) that debates don't matter, that would have been better done in a Tweet than in an article.

The big Republican claim in 2009 used to be that the unemployment rate was almost 12%. Now their claim is that we've had years of unemployment over 8%. Has anyone noticed we went from the calamity of an almost crashed economy and economic depression (in Bush's own words near the end of his term) to an economy that has saved the stock market bringing it back up to and over its pre-crash levels, and unemployment has decreased by 4% which is a decrease of 33% from the total of 12% at the end of Bush's term. More importantly, these economic improvements were made despite the Republicans voting lock step against every plan President Obama or the Democrats tried to pass (with the exception of a very few Republicans who knew they were putting their jobs at risk with their base of voters). Third ... the Ryan budget is an example of the "dog eat dog" "survival of the fittest" mentality where the strongest and most affluent of citizens survive and the rest go without opportunity for jobs or super low wage levels because of "Free Market Theory" which is a ruse that favors Corporations putting workers in competition with each other for a the lowest wages possible because most of the good paying jobs did not become obsolete but were moved to third world countries to take advantage of child labor and dollar a week wage levels of disequal economies. The more jobs driven overseas due to Republican Free Trade policies, the less tax revenues there were to pay down deficits. Giving the already wealthy, the Bush erea tax breaks created the largest majority of the U.S. deficits. The new Ryan plan takes more from the shrinking middle class and poorest paid of workers to more tax breaks for multimillionaires and redistributes even more wealth from the bottom 95% to the upper 5% and does not shrink the deficit. Sometimes, maybe often, the shortest route to fixing a problem, like massive budget cutting, ends up creating a worse problem than the problem it is trying to fix. Ryan's plan is like a family deciding to completely cut their food and transportation budget in order to pay their bills. No food, no transportation to work to earn an income. Reinstituting Fair Trade instead of Free Trade (imposing import trade fees to equalize competition between the U.S. and countries with disequal economies), and new job stimulus in areas of renewable energy (solar, wind, tide, new energy grids), interstate and intrastate high speed rail made with U.S. labor and supplies from the U.S.; and rebuilding and maintaining our essential infrastructure ... all which U.S. business and workers both need to continue to survive and prosper. What's bad for the U.S. worker, is almost always bad for the U.S. economy. We need to protect U.S. small and medium size businesses from unfair competition from foreign markets with disequal economies. Once jobs then return, the tax revenues automatically increase without increasing the tax rates. This will lower the demand on safety nets while also providing the funds to pay down the deficits over the course of five to ten years.

Romney is going to win this election because our country depends on his victory. Waldman's incognizance as well as that of most democrat voters, will be defeated by those that are aware and others that are learning the truth.

If you voted for Carter in 1976 you were actually on the right side of history, had you voted for him again in 1980 you would have been on the wrong side of history. As for Romney winning because our country depends on his victory is almost as ludicrous as Chuck Norris saying God is depending on you to vote against Obama.
Fri, 2012-09-21 14:14
Undoubtedly a close election; but for those smarties questioning the polls, I'd look at he Wall St Journal poll of tossup states. The trend is not favorable to Romney and its very unlikely that the debates will turn the tables in a big way. I expect both to be well prepared and we will get all the key messages repeated; Romney has boxed himself in too much on taxes, immigration and choice to get out of this hole. Anyway he would have been a disaster on foriegn policy as President; we have a $10 trillion war with Iran that raises oil prices to over $200 and inflation to double digits. Doing nothing will sound terrific in comparison...
Fri, 2012-09-21 14:37
The polls are bogus and everyone with a mind knows it. They are geared to poll in dem districts. The debates will seal Romney's victory. The lib talking points will be crushed; it wasn't conservative policies that got us into the financial mess, it was democrats who did that, and Ryan and Romney will pounce on that. Libs forced banks to make 3 to 6 trillion in bad loans. And obama didn't bailout the auto industry. He broke the law by bailing out the united auto workers union, and screwing the bond holders. Don't forget obama is a homosexual, which real Black Christians will never vote for. They are the ones who stopped all the marriage ballots on States. Plus, obama supports the murder of infant babies in the womb. They will bring that out too. Romney will win by 3 to 5 points.

Rasmussen a reliable poll? What I'm reading is that Rasmussen is skewed in favor of Republican/conservative candidates because it contacts voters only by land-line phones, leaving out appoximately one third of American households that have only cell phone service -- and cell phone users lean Democratic. Rasmussen also does not conduct in person sampling of opinion, which also tends to produce numbers that favor the Democrats.
Gravis samples opinion in a similar way -- so sampling of cell phone users -- and is usually a Republican-leaning "outlier" like Rasmussen.

I'd have preferred the headline to read The Debates Won't Save America
And would hope that the writer is wrong of course.
And of course they do change things around as the previous poster wrote.
" I desagree that debates are irrelivant to the election results. The Kennedy and Nixon, as well as the Reagan Carter debates come to mind".
The Obama team are already showing concern and are trying to lower public expectations about their man's debate capability against Romney.
The Debates
Obama won't be able to breeze through these debates with Romney as he did with McCain because Romney's team will have prepared plenty and all the zingers, and one-liners will be prepackaged and ready for delivery.
Obama would much prefer to be the one talking and setting the tone behind his calm demeanor, but as the incumbent with a failed record to defend, he will not get that opportunity.
If Obama freezes, pouts, or dodges too much, the Romney camp will replay it 24/7 in every swing state until Election Day!

I think you underestimate the dynamics of what may happen on a TV screen. Yes of course the viewers will see what they want to see to confirm their predetermined preferences. They will hope the debate will reinforce the correctness of their wise and passionate decision to back one candidate or the other. The media will analyze and interpret and prepare the food for thought for viewers to consume and the menu will be completely different depending on whether the cook is FoxNews or MSNBC. But seeing the two candidates face to face exposing not just their thoughts but also the tone of their voices and body language can have a powerful effect . The moderator has the power to wield the weapon of the question and followup to devastating effect. Moreover, it is likely the candidates will have to look at video of previous statements maybe gotcha statements like the "47%" and account for their content. In fact this campaign is so dominated by bumper sticker phrases taken out of context that the debate could devolve into mudslinging with no policy discussion. A very cool, steady Obama will triumph over an easily flustered Romney who will be immediately placed on the defensive to defend indefensible statements denigrating half the electorate.

The Romney/Ryan economic fix will do just the opposite. It may optimize corporate profits short term, but will destroy most of America by destroying middle class job opportunities and wage levels; and it will remove the safety nets that carry innocent hard workers through periods of unemployment due to lack of job opportunities (not because they don't want to work). The Republican dog eat dog and survival of the economic fittest strategy works well for multi-millionaires, but crashes the rest of the economy, and will turn the U.S. into another third world country with a the very rich and the very poor, and no one in the middle.

Hello, my fellow American voters!
I watched the Oct. 3rd presidential and Oct. 11th vice-presidential debates.
Romney-Obama debate covered 7 topics: jobs; budget deficit/debt; social security/entitlements; federal regulation of economy; healthcare; federal government role in economy; partisan gridlock.
Ryan-Biden debate covered 10 topics: Libya; Iran; economy; medicare/social security/entitlements; taxes/tax reform/spending/budget cuts; military policy; Afghanistan; Syria; abortion; negative campaign tactics.
As an INDEPENDENT, I support the Romney/Ryan ticket.
Romney and Ryan won both debates.
Ryan won despite Biden's consistently rude/disrespectful behavior during the debate.
Biden's tactics to evade issues/truth were disrespectful to Americans interested in facts, figures, forecasts, and solutions for real people with real problems.
Biden interrupted Ryan often, laughed often while Ryan was talking, and pointed his finger often.
Romney and Ryan won with substance, integrity, respect, clarity, facts, commitment, inspiration, and leadership. But these debates are NOT about who wins but rather about who is the best person in terms of qualifications/character to lead our country to solve problems and make life better for all Americans.
I am inspired by Romney/Ryan, and I hope that you are too!
Best regards,
Cas Lee

My poke wasn't directed at Neowin (staff), it was towards the fact that for the most part the folks that use Neowin are technologically savvy individuals and someone was just coming across this now (Or so it was believed before Dave posted the old thread). When you quoted the length of time, it literally made me laugh. I just found it ironic.
I'm chalking it up to early money brain cloud (for those of you just waking up) and late night brain cloud (for those like me who are just about to come off a 12 hour overnight shift)

There was a previous discussion about this here: http://www.neowin.ne...ds-https-login/
Posted 26 February 2013 - 11:43
So reading a thread and came across this statement
"Even the neowin login page is not encrypted"
Now I thought to myself - that can not be true.. I know the page itself is not fully encrypted, but that is not an issue the sending of the username and password could be using a https post, etc.
So figured I would take a look see.... Oddly enough, the post for the login looks to be in the clear from the page source<form action="http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?app=core&module=global&section=login&do=process" method="post" id='login'>
Now I said -- hmmm, I know a little bit about html, but maybe I am missing something and I am looking at it wrong or something. So I did what I know better and that is looking at network sniffs... So I took one while logging in..
And what you know - my password right there in the clear?? That is not a very safe practice... I know its only a forum and such, and I agree you sure don't have to encrypt the whole site - but not the sending of the username and password?? That needs to be corrected!!
Now my password is complex random - but I assure you it was in the clear.
Not sure what that auth part is there I highlighted, but hid it as well.
So am I correct in that everyone that is logging into neowin is sending username and password in clear??
Posted 26 February 2013 - 11:54
Posted 26 February 2013 - 11:58
So why did this turn into a SSL discussion, when the cheaper and easier solution that also doesn't nag about the site being mixed https and http so to simply encrypt/hash/salt the password before sending. and not store the clear text password in the database.
you'd think the fact that the passwords are stored in clear text would be the real worry here.
How many people's clear text passwords could someone steal by hacking the neowin database. but at least neowin is secure and always running the latest up to date IPB version so there should be no worries of that...
Posted 26 February 2013 - 12:04
This needs to be sorted , every other day sites and people get hacked this is not helping , if neowin gets hacked how many 1000s of people details will be lost.
I know this is just you to the server problem.
Posted 26 February 2013 - 12:06
As I already pointed out, nothing about your password is stored on our servers as plain text, What YOU send however could be picked up by network sniffing, just like someone could steal your phone and then call any of your contacts on it (if the phone was unlocked).

1. Sam Bradford, Rams
Compared to other quarterbacks in the league Bradford's numbers are mediocre at best. But for a rookie, he has more than lived up to expectations.
2. Aaron Hernandez, Patriots
Hernandez was expected to take on a more prominent role in the passing game due to the departure of Moss and he stepped with with six receptions against the Ravens.
3. Jahvid Best, Lions
Best falls down the board as he continues to remain unproductive running the ball. He's still a weapon as a receiver, but he hasn't looked like a complete player lately.
4. Mike Williams, Bucs
Williams has clearly stepped up as the Bucs top receiver. He's been targeted 40 times by Josh Freeman, 16 more than other other wide receiver on the team.
5. Chris Ivory, Saints
He's only started two games, but it's impossible to ignore Ivory's 158-yard breakout performances against the Bucs.
1.Koa Misi, Dolphins
Misi regains the top spot after record a sack and two pressures for the second straight game. The Dolphins pass rush has noticeably improved since he joined the starting lineup in Week 3.
2. Nate Allen, Eagles
Allen losses his stop atop the rankings after a rough week against the Falcons in which he got burned for a touchdown.
3. Earl Thomas, Seahawks
Thomas played a key role in keeping the Bears passing attack in check. He isn't as well rounded as Allen, but he's is emerging as an elite safety in coverage.
4. Ndamukong Suh, Lions
Suh is a one-dimensional player at this point in his career, but he does that one thing very well. He's arguably the most dominant pass-rushing interior lineman in the league, not just among rookies.
5. Lamarr Houston, Raiders
Houston doesn't have the sack totals to get much attention, but he's been quietly consistent and effective as a pass rusher all season.

PROGRESS IN PRINTING ONE OF THE MOST POTZNT FACTORS OF CIVILIZATION. rhe Orlain of the Art Is Shrouded I Mystery—rirst rrsctlced In Ihe Far Kasl - The rirst Movable Type Made In 1«S6 — Improved Modern Methods. The origin of the art of printing Is shruuiled In mystery. It Is iinposslble to say when or by whom it was flrst n -<1. even In Its crudest form Marco Fido found the art being practiced In till- Far Kast. and It Is on record that In Iho reiiuilcst aiitli|iiily Ihe Orien¬ tals used stamps, with colored inks, til their dueumenis of vnrlous kinds. .\ similar «orl uf printing Caiitalii Couk found rotunion In the Sandwich Isl¬ ands, and lie linmglil Iioiiie with hllll froni one uf the Leeward Islands n stamp with which tne nntives printed dpiiigns uu Ihe burders uf their clothes. We have records that similar work was doue in .Saracenic Sicily in the eleventh cenlury. un cuverleis nnd vestim-nls. lu several colors. It Is i-lalmeil that the reasuu why the an- cii-nis dill not fashion some nn ehanl- i-al means uf pres.-rving their poems. si-ieniitii- memoranda nud ecclesiasti¬ cal wor_s was that the nus.-'-i si-rllii-s were slaves, ami hat their ninlntenace was unly a matter of about live cents a day. so Hie Inventive minds of ilie age saw no jitissllile profit in any attempt to iniiltlply Hie few buuks. or sci'ulls, called for, nnd as these man¬ uscript sciulls uf papyrus nr parch¬ ment wen- only sought by the wealthy, the demand was easily supplied by the nrlisnns uf Hie |M-n and brush. lint as elvilzatluu begun tu advance nnil a Hilist for knowledge became mure giiieial and tin- illsirllm-io of the HiimglilK of the brightest minds demanded some ready means rf spreading broadcast the teachings of the iiinsiers. It was no louger possi¬ ble, na iu the days of the (^n-eks, to satisfy the longings of the people by hearing rend in the .Mhenlan theatre the iKiems of Aeschylus. Sophocles snd Euripides. The thousands In Europe beyond the reach of the theatre were peeking fur Ihat culture and an under¬ standing uf the great forces of uttturo which cinild only conic to them throngh the researches ot the .Teat mliiiis of tho age. In 14;!i! Laurens Koster. of Haarlem, conceived Hie idea of i-uttlng with a knife nlphaliets of separate movable Iy|(C. which, whea set In rows, formed words and sentences, and wben bound together and placed on the bed of the rnile im-sses of the period could be inked and Impressions pnlled from them niuch lu the satne manner as Is now doue un Hie ordlunry Iloe hand press. Another method practii-ed. ns is shown lu nn Ulustrotlun in "Cnpll- luu's Hlstury," 'n'as pruductlve uf much better results. It was nut unlike Ihe present way of taking proofs ot galleys of type with n roller. By this methoil after the form was Inked au onllnary wooden cyellnder. possibly covered wllh sumo soft cloth, was passed over the type or wood blocks, and a printed sheet wna the result. From 14:;ii to miHI Is a lung .ump. but skilled labor and busy brains have made great strides ns the years rulled by. It was not until 1810 that a ma¬ chine printing press was constructid by Frederick Koulg of England, who hnd a patent Issued to him In that year. It Is easily within tho inemory uf living persuns when all books were priuted on the hand press. I/Ct us assume a work illustrated wllh wood engiavlngs. Th. :i a form nf say eight pages of au octavo conld lie printed on the hand press. From Ihls. the quality being lirst-class. the day's work wunld resnit In the neigh liui'liood uf about 400 impressions, and this would reiiuire a careful pteBsmaii ami helper. To-day of Ihc same work It Is pussllile to Impose ft thirty two page form nn a mudern stop cylinder press, and after being made ready w.- can safely cuunt upon at least fiOOO Im¬ pressions In a worklug day. this being live Hini's the numlier of [lages possi¬ ble ou Hie hand press and twelve and one half times the amount of product, and this result can be obtained day af¬ ter day inilll thi- plates nre worn out, and the last sheet should be substan¬ tially aa goud as the flrst. Inasmuch .'.s when the furm Is made ready, the im pi-esslun carefully adjusted and the Huw of ink properly gauged the only cnll upon humau agency is lo sec that the sheets are regularly fed. the form kepi clean aud the Ink fountain fliled. and the press reels oft the sheets to the cud uf the edition. With the dully press the output Is n marvel. Then- ate presses in this city Hint cau turn off riO.inKI tu 40.000 itu- [iressluus an huur.

Jim, is there any chance you'll be taking this on the road? How about a few more States?

It would probably be cost prohibitive for any organization that needed me to travel out of Atlanta-area to teach this week-long class... but I'm certainly not closing any doors.
I will be collecting all my course material, notes, lectures, etc... and may make them available to others who want to teach a Mayan Adventure course.

Hi Jim,
I am new to your blog and started a robotics team at my school last fall. I taught a one-day Duke TIP class to 5th and 6th graders in February. 15 kids were put into four teams. Each team built and programmed the ExploroBot, followed by one of the other robots. It was a great day! Thank you for creating such a cool book. My StringBot group modified the design by bracing the string on opposite outsides with additional gears. This kept it from slipping off the twine.

Hi, Jessica.
Thanks for sharing about your class - I would love to see some pictures if you have any! I'm already preparing for my class (2, actually - 1 in morning, 1 in afternoon - 10 kids each). Can you give me any feedback on time - how long did it take your kids to build and program the Explorobot? Did they follow my program instructions exactly or did they modify the program, too?

I started preparing in December. I built all the robots and took photographs of each step. I put the pictures in little photo albums. The only team that had issues with building from the photos was PushBot. I gave each kid a manual specific to the job he/she had. In teams of four, there were two programmers and two builders. The more experienced (I sent out letters ahead of time and grouped kids based on their responses) were Programmer 2 and Builder 2. The less experienced were Programmer 1 and Builder 1. The 1's did ExploroBot under the guidance of the 2's. Then, on the more complicated robots, the less experienced kids were helpers to the more experienced ones. All kids built, programmed (from the book), and tested ExploroBot from 10-12. Three of four teams had completely successful runs. Most programmers and one set of builders began their second robots before lunch. We had three hours in the afternoon. From 1-3 the groups built and programmed their second robots. At 3:00, we went from place to place (each challenge was in a separate room in one hall), I read the story and the team showed off its robot. The SnapShotBot and PushBot teams didn't have time to do a lot of testing, but they gave the other kids a good idea of what the robot could do. I have tons of pictures. How would I get those to you? Next time I teach it, I am going to make the programmers do it from scratch. They finished early in each group. I may also only do the first three bots unless I have advanced builders attending, or maybe I could pre-build some of the parts (like the cage on PushBot).

Feel free to email me a zip file or as many photos as you like - with your permission and help, I'd love to post a news item on the blog about your experience - "your help" would be I'd like to ask you to writeup some more about the entire experience for me to include in the blog post... again, with your permission.

Wow, thanks! I'll work on that this weekend. I don't know how to zip files though.

Will you be offering this type of camp anywhere else in Atlanta area? I'm interested in Fulton or Gwinnett county areas.

I'm not sure - last year's class was canceled due to low enrollment... they had 2 classes, 10 per each and only got 4 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon... not enough to schedule the facilities.
If you know of an organization in either of those counties that would like to hold a class, please let me know.

In our garden statue section we have a collection called "extraordinary" and here is where our exclusive Big Foot garden statue can be found among many other large and very different sculptures. A sculpture that is truly extraordinary and beautiful at the same time is the Daydreaming Mermaid of Langeline Cove Statue and she is at a sale price. This delicately rendered mermaid is 35" tall and appears to be sunbathing with her hand on her great tail and a peaceful gaze around the landscape. She is not wearing a bathing suit.
Much in the style and serenity of our large Buddha statue, we have another wonderful statue of peace that will fit in any garden. She is Mother Nature: Maiden of the Forest Statue rendered in a bronze hue created with style and grace out of designer resin. This mother nature goddess has feathers in her hair, surrounded by the doves of peace and perfect for a meditation garden.
When you shop Design Toscano you must always check out our marble busts for sale section which is filled with marvelous items at unbelievable prices. A popular bust at a great price is our William Shakespeare Sculptural Bust: Desktop which would make a great gift for the lovers of the Bard among your friends. Sculpted in designer resin, this 12" highly detailed bust would look wonderful on a bookshelf or a desk. Be the first to get this bust and start your Christmas shopping early.

The sun peeked over the horizon on Wed, Nov. 14 to reveal the Wilson campus covered in posters, signs, and sheets. A number of messages adorned the signs, ranging from "You said we would have a voice, why is no one listening?" and "What Would Sarah Wilson Do?" to "Better Dead than Co-ed."
This was the first major showing of a protest planned by members of the student body to gain attention from members of the school's administration. "The protest idea was sparked when students decided they had had enough and wanted to do something about it," said Janelle Wills '14, President of WCGA.
The idea for the protest was first voiced by students attending a Wilson College Government Association (WCGA) Pizza Talk event held after the Commission on Shaping the Future of Wilson College open campus meeting earlier this month. At Pizza Talk, members of WCGA asked students what they wanted to do in response to the events going on.
"Students were on the subject of the Commission's last meeting, and how they felt student input was not taken into consideration from session to session," said Wills. "The point of the protests was to give students back a voice about any of the many issues they face here living in the Wilson community."
According to Wills, the number of students who participated far exceeded her expectations, which were based on the turnout for a protest held in the Spring 2012 semester to "Save Senior Week." "Students really wanted this and stepped up," said Wills.
While the idea for the protest was to be a generalized "student concerns" protest, many students focused on the possibility of Wilson becoming a co-educational institution. "Some students...chose to voice their concerns about the Commission's recommendation to go co-ed. Due to the emotion behind this issue, it seemed the most prevalent," said Wills.
Not all students were as enthusiastic about the idea as others, including Lilia George '13. George said she didn't believe in the what seemed to be main cause of the protest, the issue about going co-ed. At first, George explained, she didn't have much of a reaction to the posters. But on Wednesday, after talking to a male classmate, who is attending Wilson as part of the Adult Degree Program (ADP), and listening to him explain how he felt uncomfortable and harassed by the posters, George changed her mind. She began to make posters of her own, many of which express support for the college becoming co-ed. George explained that she wasn't making the posters because she was against the cause. "I want to give a voice to people who can't speak up for themselves for various reason," explained George.
Not all members of the ADP program feel threatened by the protests. "I'm slightly offended, but equally amused," explained Richard Holliday '13, a male ADP student, who said the protest reminded him of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's.
"You can't argue for equal treatment, equal voice, while supporting policies of exclusion for any reason," said Holliday. "That said, I do think admitting teenage males will ruin what little advantage a single sex education may provide to young women." Holliday went on to suggest how the protestors could improve their cause. "I think the protestors need to focus their argument to a single, unified message that can unite rather than divide," said Holliday.
While in the planning stages for the protests, students were careful to only discuss the upcoming events around other students, and crafted their posters, signs, and other materials away from the watchful eyes of administrative figures. However, their silence ended up being what led the Student Development staff to guess what was being planned.
"Students were too quiet…We knew that there was a protest afoot," said Carolyn Perkins, Vice President for Student Development and Dean of Students, although they didn't know what exactly to expect.
According to Perkins, several staff members "were part of a protesting era," involved in issues such as the Civil Rights movement and Vietnam War protests, so they could recognize some of the signs. "You don't know exactly what's happening here, but you can feel the atmosphere has changed," said Perkins. "Expectation was that if there was a protest, it was going to be creative, emotional," explained Perkins, adding that they "also expected a backlash of different opinions."
One of the things that was agreed on by most involved was that the students were giving voice to their opinion. "A positive is, some of the apathy has gone away, and I think that is good," said Perkins.
Wills agreed with Perkins' statement. "I think now students realize why it is so important and to take an interest and make sure their opinions are heard when others are asking for their opinion," said Wills.
Perkins did caution that the Board of Trustees still hasn't given their final recommendation about anything yet.
