As we reported a short while back, Mr. Motion, Joel Rosen, of Motion Performance fame, was striking a deal to market modern performance machines with the legendary Motion flare. We have learned that the deal is done and Rosen's inked a two-year deal with DeNooyer Chevrolet's Performance division and Redline Motorsports to build Motion Performance 427 and 454 Camaros.
Unlike the automobiles of days of 40 years ago, these 427s and 454s are LS-based, but the power will put fear into the timid-and perhaps into many of the earlier Motion cars, which sell for six figures today. If all goes well, Motion, DeNooyer and Redline could expand the lineup to include Corvettes as well.
As reported last month at www.superchevy.com, the 2011 Fantastic Five are SS-427 (525 HP), Phase III 427 (600 HP), SS-454 (550 HP), PHASE III 454 (625 HP Torque Monster/6-speed manual only) and Phase III 427-SC (800 HP Supercharged Supercar). Complete details can be found at http://www.officialbaldwinmotion.com. Rosen himself ordered car number 001, which will (naturally) be a Phase III 427-SC model.
Details are still emerging, but the Phase III SC models will all use TR6060 six-speed manual gearboxes with ZR1 clutches and axles rated to withstand 1,000 horsepower of abuse. A complete Pfadt chassis and suspension setup is standard on this model as well.
According to Motion Performance spokeman Martyn L. Schorr, prices on the SS427 are expected to start at under $80,000 and range to somewhere in the neighborhood of $150,000 for the full-on Phase III SC.
The SS427 comes with custom painted Motion graphics, interior ungrades, VIN badges and plates. Trim and wheel combinations will change from model to model. To ensure exclusivity, the Phase III and SC wheels are just for these cars and replacement wheels will be available only to verified Motion car owners.
More than 40 years ago Rosen, a young Brooklyn dyno-tuner, hot rodder, street racer and national record holding drag racer, turned a simple 427 Camaro engine swap into an empire. Working with Baldwin Chevrolet, he was the most prolific builder-marketer of modified new big-block Chevys during the Supercar '60s and '70s. He backed up Phase III models with written money-back performance warranties and now passing the torch to Howard Tanner, a young dyno-tuning specialist and speed shop owner.
"It's Deja Vu all over again," said Joel Rosen, quoting the legendary Yankee, Yogi Berra. "We have re-launched the Baldwin-Motion and Motion brands again, this time capturing the true spirit of what we did in 1967-1974: Market built-to-order, dyno-proven and warranted SS and Phase III 427 and 454 Camaros, crafted by a high-tech dyno shop and available exclusively from a single authorized Chevrolet dealer."
In 1967-1968, Baldwin-Motion marketed its full line of 427 Chevys under The Fantastic Five banner. Advertising and marketing materials, as well the windows at Baldwin Chevrolet, screamed The Fantastic Five. And, that's how they're launching the new line of '11 Motion Camaros.
Howard Tanner is president of Redline Motorsports, a speed shop specializing in fuel-injected vehicles in Schenectady, New York. He and his team are the builders. Dan Carlton, General Manager, DeNooyer Chevrolet's Performance Division in Albany, New York, is handling client contact and all orders will be placed through him.
DeNooyer Chevrolet, owned by second-generation Chevrolet dealer Jim DeNooyer, is the highest volume Chevrolet dealership in upstate New York. As a young, hands-on car guy, DeNooyer was into hot rods, customs and drag racing. He later moved up into fast boats and has held speed records since the 1990s. Sons, Joel and Tom, also high-performance enthusiasts, handle day-to-day operations.
"It's great that the folks at DeNooyer Chevrolet and Redline Motorsports have embraced the Baldwin-Motion heritage of using the latest GM 427 and 454 high-performance factory engines in their new Motion Camaros," said Dr. Jamie Meyer, Product Integration Manager, General Motors Performance Parts.
Tanner is a highly skilled engine calibrator and dyno-tuner as well as an experienced builder of large-displacement GM vehicles, including Camaros and Corvettes. Carlton, a respected racer, successful GM of luxury brand dealerships and former Chevrolet dealership principal, has years of experience selling both imported and domestic high-performance vehicles. He is a former New York State Ice Racing Champion and currently competes in sports car, ice racing and Modified motorsports.
Every Motion Camaro will be built to order at Redline and tuned by Howard Tanner on its DYNOmite 1,400 horsepower Eddy Current Load dyno. A full dyno report as well as official Baldwin-Motion documentation will go with each car.
Sanctioned, serialized and signed by Joel Rosen, each 2011 Motion SS and Phase III Camaro will be delivered with custom Motion VIN plates and complete documentation. To prevent future cloning of Motion Camaros, Rosen and Carlton will be establishing a confidential Motion Registry detailing VINs, vehicle specifications and original purchaser data.
When Rosen and Motion LLC's Larry Jaworske and Joel Ehrenpreis re-launched the Baldwin-Motion and Motion brands in 2005, they set a new standard for 1969 "continuation" Camaros. The Launch Edition two-seat SuperCoupe, powered by a front/mid-mounted, fuel-injected 540-inch aluminum big-block, won the coveted GM Design Award at SEMA 2005 and set a record at Barrett-Jackson in 2006
"We produced extremely expensive, coach-built Camaros between 2005-2009. This time it's different. Our new Motion 427 and 454 Camaros are much more affordable and drivable, starting at under-$80,000, and will be hard to beat on the street or at a show.

I was reading in an American Harper Fiction edition and found a quote by Death on page 12 that was partly in lower case and missing the quotation marks.
Then Death said, YOU SURELY ARE NOT ASKING ME to grant a wish?
I would assume that to be a typo. Has anyone else run across this type of error in one of the Discworld books?

Barbie® Doll Inspired by Gustav Klimt
An amazing fusion of fashion and fine art, the Museum Collection dolls are a feast for the eyes!
Gustav Klimt Barbie doll echoes the artist's portrait, Adele Bloch-Bauer I, reflecting the painting's Byzantine mosaics and Egyptian motifs. She wears a halter gown with silvery trim, draped chiffon sleeves and bustle, as well as silvery choker and cuffs, and her curly parted hair and posable hands suggest the original. She is a magnificent muse both in and out of her exquisite packaging.
For ages 6 and over.
Production doll may vary from the photo shown above. Mattel reserves the right to modify the fashion/fabrics, sculpt, hair color/style, and accessories. Doll cannot stand alone as shown.

Patterns can be a refreshing and daring way to bring style and verve to living spaces, adding character, drama, depth and energy.
However, as any designer knows, there's a fine line between a pleasing mix and a look that's over-the-top. And with so many vibrant colors, fabrics and pattern choices out there today, it can be challenging to know how to keep it in perspective. Here are some helpful hints.
- Get inspired. A favorite fabric type or color can be a great starting point for picking the right patterns for a room. This strategy works well when you're first starting out, because using one color consistently creates a more cohesive look. The other benefit of a monochromatic color scheme is that it makes patterns recede, enabling you to incorporate more texture in your fabric choices.
- Follow a lead. One strong pattern can take the lead in a room, set a theme and inspire other less-dominant patterns. If your first pattern choice is a large geometric or floral print, pick a color from it and then choose smaller patterns in that same color. When incorporating several patterns, be sure you have both contrast and compatibility to ensure proper balance.
- Give the nod to neutral. If a dominant pattern doesn't fit the space or your taste, consider using neutrals to provide the backdrop for a combination of patterns. Large surfaces, like walls and floors, can be covered in neutral tones so that brighter, more vocal patterns can stand out in supporting roles. Plus, neutrals let you go in any direction, such as incorporating several textures and finishes to give the room a presence.
- Spread it around. Keep patterns from looking too cluttered by distributing them throughout the room rather than concentrating them in one spot. Combined patterns need space to express themselves.
- Mix it up. When decorating with patterns, stay away from an entire room full of large, bold prints or a slew of tiny, busy ones. Incorporate a variety of small and large patterns to achieve a sense of balance and scale.
- Think outside the box. Don't limit yourself to just florals and toiles. Today's choices include everything from classic shell shapes to sophisticated Greek key designs, from funky geometrics to menswear herringbone and houndstooth, from contemporary circles to island-inspired latticework, from sassy polka dots and stripes to dramatic damasks.
Be bold, be daring and have fun!

Hi guys, I would appreciate if I could get some help with excel 2007. I need to design a spreadsheet which is used to calculate student grades. So say column A would have a range of numbers between 0 and 100 representing a mark achieved by a student. I would like to find a way to use a formula so that it is able to show a grade in Column B.
So for example is for someone achieves a 53 that would be a D.
Of course I'd like it so I could specify data ranges i.e anyone achieving a mark between say 40 and 55 would be recognised as having achieved a D and have that placed in column b by their mark.
Any help really appreciated.

Pretty soon I began to "find" music books lying about, and an American teacher/musician came to the weekly campfire where I played and we sang John Denver, and Christian music.

Having ID on your bags in case of emergency is essential when you travel, but you've got to think about privacy too. With our Small Square Luggage Tag, we give you the best of both worlds.Made with genuine leather, this tag has a large ID window so you can slip in all your info in case your bags don't end up where you do. A discreet leather flap covers the ID window so nobody sees your info who shouldn't, and an adjustable buckle strap at top secures it to your luggage. A must for any traveler.
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. This leather boasts a polished finish and a soft hand feel, making it a great choice for any leather connoisseur. And with the variety of colors it comes in, it's easy to find a shade that appeals to you or matches with your other accessories. As the name implies, our Timeless collection will hold up through years of use while aging gracefully every step of the way.
Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
Gorgeous leather tag. Will definitely help to find luggage as it goes by.
Love these tags. Great color. They are just perfect to spot my luggage
I purchased this item for my hubby for our 3 year wedding anniversary. He loved it and will really come in handy in all the future trips we are going to take! This item is very nice quality and the monogram was perfect. The luggage tag even came in a very nice gift box.
Just the right size for my carry-on. Leather and craftsmanship very high.
Purchased for my daughter along with a nice piece of luggage as a Christmas gift. The color is very nice and will coordinate well with the luggage and the quality is very good. Love the privacy afforded by the style of this tag. Delivery was also timely and the tag came beautifully packaged.
Love the shape- different than the standard tag. Smooth leather. Rich color.
I ordered this tag for a friend who likes the brighter greens and this ended up being a bit darker than I expected. However, my friend loves it and the monogram turned out nicely, so I can't complain!
This luggage tag was classy - the monogram turned out nicely, and the color was about what I expected. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I haven't traveled with it yet, so I can't yet speak to its durability. But I'm glad I got it and it was a big hit with my friends, who each received one as a gift from me (in different colors).
I purchased two of these as a wedding gift for the bride and groom. The leather is so nice and the stamps turned out wonderfully. The nice gift boxes they come in are a huge plus! A great product overall!
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

Springfield school spending comes in more than $150K over budgetBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | September 18,2013SPRINGFIELD The Springfield School District is spending more money than they anticipated this fiscal year.
Director of Fiscal Services Steven Hier said at Mondays School Board meeting the district is spending $150,674 more than the $27.5 million budget that voters passed in April. Hier attributed the extra expenses to four main areas: tuition costs, retiree benefits, occupational therapy and behavioral services costs.
Its not good, Hier said Monday.
More than $111,719 of extra spending went toward a student who required out-of-district special education. Special education administrators made the decision at the end of the 2012-2013 school year.
Hier said it was an unanticipated expense, but the school district agreed with special education administrators that the student would benefit from a new learning environment.
We didnt know about it at budget time. Otherwise we would have budgeted for that, Hier said.
Scott Adnams, who was serving his final meeting as School Board chairman, asked whether the student will return to the school district the following year. Director of Special Services Sarah Vogel said the out-of-district placements are for a temporary period of time and that students will eventually return to the school district.
Its a huge decision to make. Its like a balancing act of whats going to be in the best interest of district and student. We want it to be as short of a period as we can, Vogel said.
Despite the spending deficit, Hier said the school district is expecting $70,875 back in revenues, mostly in reimbursements by the state for special education costs. But even with the reimbursement it would still leave the school district with a net deficit of $79,799.
Hier said there are other avenues the district will consider to deal with the deficit and they will wait and see what will work best by Town Meeting Day.
Its still early in the year and anything can happen, Hier said. This month well reconcile what we budgeted for health insurance toward the people we hired including support staff salaries and enrollment in the Gateway program and occupation development programs and see where they are. We spent over $3 million in health insurance and maybe there could be savings in that area as well.
The School Board did not make a decision on how to address the remaining money. The districts finances will be discussed in further detail at the next School Board meeting.

School Experiments
Oil can enter the environment by improper storage or disposal methods, or by accident. Once oil is in the environment, it must be removed or contained. Numerous cleanup methods can be used depending upon the type of oil, the physical and geographical characteristics of the site, the location of the site, and the threat posed to human health and the environment. If there is an immediate threat to people and the environment, the oil must be contained, and the cleanup must begin as soon as possible.
Activities in this section are designed to demonstrate the difficulty in cleaning up oil spilled into a body of water and to help you better understand different methods of cleanup. Experiments are available for the following age groups:
Elementary School Experiment
This experiment is designed to help you to understand the difficulties involving oil spill cleanups.* To perform this experiment you will need the following materials:
- One cake pan or similar container approximately 20 cm x 20 cm;
- 480 mL of clean pea-size gravel;
- 480 mL of water;
- 480 mL clear plastic cup;
- An eyedropper or plastic spoon;
- Three pipe cleaners;
- A piece of plastic wrap 10cm x 5 cm;
- Ten cotton balls (use real cotton);
- A piece of nylon stocking 10cm x 5 cm;
- 120 mL of wood chips;
- Four paper towels; and
- 30 mL of dark olive oil.
Teacher Preparation: This activity is designed for students to work in groups of three.
- Wash the pea-size gravel
- Place the 480 mL of pea-size gravel on one side of the cake pan/container, and pour all of the water on the other side. Make sure that most of the pea-size gravel remains on one side of the container. This material is to represent a river bank, a lake shore, or an ocean beach.
Procedure: Complete each of the following steps, and observe what happens.
- Divide the class into groups of three. Provide each group with a cake pan/container prepared as
decribed above, a plastic cup, three pipe cleaners, an eyedropper/plastic spoon, ten cotton balls, a piece of nylon stocking, four paper towels, a piece of plastic wrap and wood chips.
- Have each student make an animal from the pipe cleaners and lay it on the gravel next to the
- Explain to the students that they are going to clean up an oil spill that occurred at a local river, lake or ocean beach (you decide). Inform the students that the gravel represents the bank, shore or beach of the water body you selected.
- Pour 30 mL of olive oil on the water of each group's model. Have one student blow the oil
toward the gravel to simulate water movement. The students should then attempt to clean up the
water, shore and animals using any of the materials provided. Encourage the students to test
each material and to clean carefully so they can determine which material works best. Have the
students place any oil and water they removed from the container in the plastic cup.
Interpretive Questions: As the groups of three perform the experiment ask them to observe what happens and answer the following questions. Afterwards, the groups of three can join together and discuss their discoveries.
- Which cleanup material proved to be the best for cleaning up the water? Which material worked
the best for cleaning up the "shoreline?"
- Was there any difference in cleaning up the water when the conditions were calm and when the
conditions were rough (blowing on the water)?
- Is there any way that a spill can be contained in one area? How could contaminants spread from
the area where the spill occurred?
- How might people be exposed to contaminants? How might plants and animals be exposed to
- What would happen if the oil spill was not cleaned up?
This experiment is printed on the back of the grade school "Hazardous Waste" poster, part of the Water Resources Education poster series.

Sprinter brake problem found by chance
Routine state inspections didn't spot the issue, which was revealed during a visit on another matter
No measurements included
North County Transit District officials have said that at least one district employee and the maintenance subcontractor knew about the issues with the rotors for more than 18 months, but did not tell their respective superiors. The engineer says he did inform them, although not in writing.
The district's preventive maintenance records gave no indication of any problems with the brakes.
Bombardier, which provides maintenance for the Sprinter vehicles and track, is a Canadian aerospace and ground transportation corporation with worldwide operations. It partnered with Veolia Transportation in 2007 to win the operation and maintenance contract for the Sprinter.
State inspectors noted in their March 1 report, during which they first discovered the issue with the rotors, that none of the Bombardier's preventive maintenance forms documented any abnormalities to the rotors.
They also did not include measurements of the rotors, which could have helped state inspectors discover the issue sooner.
District officials said they are trying to determine why this was the case.
"The larger issue in this instance was the lack of reporting on the inspection reports that would have flagged the premature wear, and the failure by the NCTD rail maintenance engineer to report the rotor issue and to request funding to address the problem, and the failure to make sure the inspection reports submitted by the contractor reflected the problem," NCTD spokeswoman Deborah Castillo said.
The Watchdog called and emailed Bombardier's local mechanical manager Brian Carroll seeking comment, and did not receive a response. A phone call to Bombardier's transportation unit spokeswoman was not returned.
Other agencies include rotor measurements on their inspection records, said Christopher Chow, a spokesman for the Public Utilities Commission.
The transit district's maintenance report is essentially a checklist of the parts of the train that crews are supposed to examine, with a space on the first page for workers to detail any problems uncovered during the inspection.
The Transit District provided a sample of the maintenance reports. Next to the section that details how rotors are to be inspected, maintenance workers wrote the code "534," which indicated that they checked the rotor measurements and found they met the manufacturer's specifications.
When asked about the district's confidence in Bombardier's maintenance and what it has done to rectify any of the issues, Castillo said those questions would be answered during an ongoing investigation.
"These are good questions that as we investigate the incident NCTD will let the incident investigation facts and findings direct us to those answers when it is completed," Castillo said. "To comment and provide conclusions at this time would be premature."

FCC eases airlines' path to in-flight broadband
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted rules that will serve to help airlines more expeditiously roll out in-flight broadband.
The rules streamline the process for airlines applying for a license to offer Internet service onboard during flights. The FCC said it may speed up the process by as much as 50 percent.
In-flight is hardly new. The Commission said it has been authorizing airlines to offer high-speed Internet on flights via an ad hoc basis since 2001. The new rules simply create a consistent framework for airlines wishing to apply for applications to provide the service.
On-board Wi-Fi has become increasingly in demand by travelers. Delta has been particularly aggressive in rolling out the service. Recently, the three biggest airlines announced they would offer the service on international flights.
In order to provide broadband, airlines operate Earth Stations Aboard Aircraft (ESAA), which communicate with Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) geostationary orbit (GSO) space stations.
The FCC said its Report and Order on the subject formalizes ESAA as a licensed application in the FSS and establishes a regulatory framework for processing applications while ensuring other radio service operations are protected from harmful interference. Rather than have to license on-board systems on an ad hocbasis, airlines will be able to test systems that meet FCC standards, establish that they do not interfere with aircraft systems and get FAA approval, the agency said.
In a statement, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said: "Whether traveling for work or leisure, Americans increasingly expect broadband access everywhere they go. These new rules will help airlines and broadband providers offer high-speed Internet to passengers, including by accelerating by up to 50 percent the processing of applications to provide broadband on planes. This will enable providers to bring broadband to planes more efficiently, helping passengers connect with friends, family or the office."

To outsiders looking in, hot rodding can seem rather juvenile. We are talking about grown men who still play with blocks, for goodness sakes. Rather than groveling in shame, however, it's time to embrace our natural gravitation to these large lumps of iron (or aluminum) and learn all there is to know about them. Let's face it: Stock cylinder cases are fine for many engine builds, but keep on pushing the limits of horsepower, and sooner or later you're going to need an aftermarket block. Aside from the irrefutable advantages in strength that they offer, aftermarket blocks are packed with goodies that promote easy cubic inches and unparalleled reliability. Thicker cylinder walls, priority main oiling systems, four-bolt main caps, and commodious crankcases are common fare on any aftermarket block, and the ante can easily be upped with taller decks and raised cam tunnels. The one downside to all these options is that the selection process can get confusing. That's why we called up Jack McInnis at Dart to sort through it all.
Dart is a company that needs no introduction. Founded by legendary Pro Stock engine builder Richard Maskin, the Dart brand has been synonymous with high-end engine components for decades. Although the company's rugged aftermarket blocks have been staples of potent street and all-out race cars for decades, it has recently ramped its block program way up. Not that long ago, the Dart block line was comprised of the Little M and Big M blocks. However, in just a few short years Dart has diversified its portfolio substantially. These days, there are multiple variants of Big M and Little M in addition to tall- and short-deck blocks, siamesed blocks, full-water blocks, aluminum blocks, spread-bore blocks, race series blocks, and even a Vortec 8100 series block. That's a whole lot of blocks. In addition to explaining the differences between them, we used this opportunity to explore the different types of alloys used during the casting process, and also picked up some useful tips on how to keep extreme cylinder pressure sealed in the bores.
Aftermarket Block Basics
When GM was manufacturing small- and big-block Chevy engines, the typical production rate for an assembly plant was one car coming off the assembly line every minute. This meant that every part of the car, including the engine block, was designed with reducing manufacturing time and cost as top priority. In contrast, Dart blocks are designed and manufactured with performance as the number-one priority. The alloys, casting designs, and machining methods are all geared toward performance. Our blocks are heavier than stock because more metal is added to strengthen critical areas, and provisions for upgrades are integrated into the block as well. For instance, all Dart blocks have a true priority main oiling system that supplies oil to the main bearings first, then feeds the cam and lifters. This is the opposite of a standard OE small-block oiling system. The standard system was designed to simplify high-speed production and works adequately for normal passenger car use, but for high performance using a priority main system is vastly superior. Additionally, Dart's four-bolt main caps feature splayed outer bolts, which go into the strongest part of the bottom end. The stock four-bolt design used straight bolts that actually weaken the main webs, which is why many engine builders prefer two-bolt blocks over the OE four-bolt design. All our blocks also have expanded water jackets for better cooling, and blind head boltholes, which don't go through into the water jackets, eliminating leaks from the head bolts.

Set a Reasonable Goal — Approximately 2,000 steps equal about one mile. Walking 10,000 steps is close to five miles. If you haven't been exercising, you may only average 1,000 to 3,000 steps a day at first. Start by increasing your average daily steps by 500 per week.
Get the Gear — Invest in a good pair of walking shoes, socks that keep your feet dry and blister free, and comfortable clothing.Wicking fabric (fabric that allows perspiration to evaporate readily) can make walking more comfortable. Also, don't forget a water bottle and sunscreen. Measure It — A pedometer will help you count your steps and miles walked. They come in a variety of styles and have many features.
Increasing Your Steps — There are many ways to work extra steps into your day. Enlist your significant other or friend to walk with you. Walk to the grocery store, window shop, walk the dog, or walk over to a neighbor's house. If you are shopping at a large complex, park farther away from the store and use the stairs rather than the elevator. You could plan a walking group with friends once a week. Or, in the evening, rather than sitting and watching television, walk outside and see how your garden is doing, or go to an open air market or street fair.When all else fails, you can always get up and change the channel, right?

Will Marco Rubio Win Latino Votes? Probably Not.
It's obvious that the GOP is beginning to panic about their poor performance with Latino voters. The Hill, for example, reports that Senate Republicans are working on a watered-down version of the DREAM Act, in an attempt to win back some Hispanic support. Senators Jon Kyl and Kay Bailey Hutchinson are working on one variation, while the GOP's Great Latino Hope—Senator Marco Rubio of Florida—is working on another. Both are expected to be unveiled when Mitt Romney official wins the Republican presidential nomination.
But given the degree to which Latinos are extremely disdainful of the GOP's five-year battle against comprehensive immigration reform, its routine attacks on immigrants, and its smear campaign against Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, it will take much more than an off-brand DREAM Act to build support.
There's a fair chance that Republicans will try to rehabilitate their brand by giving Rubio the vice-presidential nod, but even that relies on the assumption that Latinos value symbolic over substantive representation, and I'm not sure that's the case. On the policies that matter to many Latinos, Rubio is just as right-wing as any other Republican—the only difference is his last name. What's more, putting Rubio on the ticket smacks of pandering in a way that might be distasteful to Latino voters.
Indeed, early polling suggests that Rubio would have little effect on the GOP's share of the Hispanic vote. In the latest McClatchy-Marist poll, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are evenly matched in a head-to-head match-up, 46 percent to 44 percent. The more important thing, however, is that Romney beats Obama among Latinos, 48 percent to 37 percent.
That changes when you add Rubio and Biden to the ticket, respectively. In that scenario, Obama takes 50 percent of the Latino vote—a 13 point gain—while Romney's performances drops by 2 percent. Of course, the usual caveats apply—slight differences in sampling can result in big changes in poll results. Still, it says something that Romney loses support when Rubio is on the ticket.
It should always be said that, at this point, head-to-head matchups tell us less about the public's mood that favorability and job approval ratings. On both counts, Obama is in decent shape. According to McClatchy and Marist, 48 percent of Americans approve of his job performance (compared to the 47 percent who disapprove), while 50 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the president (compared to 46 percent disapproval). By contrast, Mitt Romney has a net favorability rating of zero—44 percent of Americans either like him, or dislike him.
To return back to my main point, all of this is to say that, while Marco Rubio seems like he was designed to be the perfect vice presidential nominee, his actual effect on the election—as is the case with most VPs—would be small, and potentially counterproductive.
Tue, 2012-03-27 20:32
Selecting Rubio as a VP running mate would be pandering to Latino voter in much the same way Palin, in 2008, was used to pander to women voters. The Republicans wrongly thought that women, disappointed in Hilary's failure to capture the Democratic nomination, would flock to the GOP if they added a woman to their ticket. Tht might have been the case had they chosen their woman more carefully but women, much like Latino's, are easily fooled.
Wed, 2012-03-28 11:05
If Romney chooses Rubio as a running mate, you are likely correct that it would do little to endear him to Latinos. However, you've ignored the potential impact he has on conservatives, who do not trust Romney. In that respect, he may well have a tremendous impact on the election.
Wed, 2012-03-28 15:46
Mr. Bouie's analysis rings true. Rubio's nomination is clearly at best a shallow effort to court Latino votes. I suggest that it is equally important that, for both parties, it be recognized that the designation "Latino" describes a group of people with immediate roots in Lation America which includes a number of quite different countries. This suggests to me that there is likely to be a diversity of perspective. Mr. Rubio is a second generation Cuban-American. I wonder if a Pueto Rican, a Mexican American and etc. will necessarily identfy with him or his politics simply because he is a "Latino"? Even the term "Latino" may not necessarily be accepted by all Americans with roots in Latin America as some may prefer the term "Hispanic" which indicates their heritage in Spain. This is a minor, but somewhat interesting point. Rubio will, as is pointed out above, strengthen Romney with the Tea Partiers and other far right voters. He is a charming and forceful campaigner as Charlie Crisp can speak to.

Fast & Furious: The minute-by-minute, behind-the-scenes negotiations that led to this year's F.E.M.A transaction
The whirlwind negotiations between the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Muss Development to create an impromptu relief outpost in Queens in the days following Hurricane Sandy's descent on New York would not have happened had it not been for one of the real estate industry's leading dynasties.
In a deal that would later come to symbolize the overall dedication of the city's real estate titans, government officials and executives banged out terms for 200,000 square feet of temporary space at the Forest Hills Tower in a mere five days, a minor miracle in the world of office leasing.

The compact, lightweight and affordable Ikelite DS51 Substrobe is an excellent choice for any underwater photographer. Its digital electronics make it fully compatible with digital cameras as well as traditional film cameras such as the Nikonos. The DS51's intensity and angle of coverage make it equally suited for macro and general photography.
The strobe's wide-angle diffuser increases the angle-of-coverage up to 80 degrees, softens the light and helps to reduce backscatter. The strobe can easily switch between TTL/Auto and any of the six (6) manual power settings for complete control over lighting the subject.
The DS51 Substrobe's power rivals strobes twice its size, recycles in a quick 3.5 seconds, and provides 200+ flashes on a set of batteries. Much shorter recycle times and more flashes per set of batteries can be realized during TTL operation or when using manual fractional powers. When connected with a sync cord to Ikelite TTL housings, TTL adapters, or the Nikonos camera system, the DS51 Substrobe offers TTL and Manual Modes.
When used with other manufacturers housings, the DS51 Substrobe can only be used in the Manual Mode utilizing the six selectable power settings. When used in conjunction with the EV-Controller, the DS51 Mode switch is set to the TTL setting and the EV-Controller provides ten power settings in half-stop increments.
Fiber Optic Adapter:
The Fiber Optic Adapter converts the electrical bulkhead of any Ikelite DS Substrobe into a fiber optic port. This adapter is a manual exposure (non-TTL) trigger only. The strobe's output must be adjusted using the manual power settings built into the strobe (varies by model).
The Fiber Optic Adapter automatically configures itself for compatibility with both pre-flash and non pre-flash camera modes. No setting of small switches or confusion over number of pre-flashes. Simply turn on your Substrobe and take one picture to configure.
An individual Fiber Optic Adapter is needed for each Substrobe. Use of two Substrobes requires two Fiber Optic Adapters.
Depth rated to 300 feet (90 meters).

Are WDN tabs still OK for use (non-deprecated) in 3.1? In 3.1 my tabbed pages are displaying all tab content. Clicking a tab just jumps to the id without changing whether anything is displayed.
CMS staging example: http://unlcms-staging.unl.edu/graduate- ... ogram/demo
Preview example: http://ucommbieber.unl.edu/workspace/wd ... demo.shtml
Will tab functionality be fixed before 3.1 goes live? Should I be doing something differently to make tabs continue to work on my pages?

The font company is releasing patented compression technology in an attempt to bring faster, nicer fonts to the Web, and Google is helping out the effort.
One of the biggest font foundries is releasing a catalog of nearly 8,000 fonts for Web pages. The move will help designers add polish--and create a new revenue stream for the company.
After years of Web-font false starts, the new font technology is poised to spruce up the Web's words. Overall, it'll be a step forward.
The software colossus signs up to sponsor standardization of the Web Open Font Format technology. Support in IE9 looks likely.

The ancient Tang Horse Iron Statue will also add a classic, Chinese touch to any room where it is put on display. Cast from iron and given an aged patina, this decor is a replica of a 1,300 year old sculpture.

raisindot wrote:None of these characteristics are at all characteristics of Pterry's elves. They are not alcoholics. They are not cynical (if they were, would they be so easily transfixed by music and theater? Only the Queen is cynical, and it's more than she uses cynicism as a weapon. If everyone obeyed her, she wouldn't be cynical at all). The elves are essentially stupid, or at least incapable of learning anything on their own; they can only absorb knowledge from the people they are conquering. They also aren't interested in joining factions and aren't particularly interested in what goes on in a particular city; all they're interested in is taking over.
Again, not one shred of evidence that Pepe is anything other than a very talented human who is the David Bowie of the DW--someone who is a poser, a chameleon who takes on whatever identify he feels will further his interests.
Terry himself told us that there was a touch of Elf in Buddy's heritage and in his alternative life in Quirm (there's a boy works down the fish shop swears he's Elvis(h)? ). And he also has a touch of Celtic hiraeth, mourning for his harp and generally moping around (playing sad songs instead of hitting the bottle) whilst he's unfulfilled and self-piteously searching for recognition for 'his' music. What Terry's Elves have a propensity for is to get what they want through 'glamour' - so yes they can innovate enough to clad themselves in shininess, to hide their true nature and appearance by feeding vampire-like off their victims imaginations and yes, behaving sadistically breaking people's limbs and spilling blood purely for their own cynical amusement. Even Nazis appreciated the subtler artistic moments of the Ring Cycle didn't they? Granted books didn't get so much respect but the Corleones of this world can still be moved by Madame Butterfly whilst planning assassination in nasty ways. Elves are the motif for the glamour of evil aren't they?
They can 'learn' to find new ways of doing all that and so why wouldn't their 'children' that survive them thrive in such vapid and highly image-conscious industries as the minstrel and fashion design businesses? All smoke and mirrors and very little substance that only puts a minuscule veneer of pixie dust over not very important contributions to human culture? All spin and no effort essentially? Pepe spins and leaps and dazzles his way around the Hippo to lead the chants for Trev and away from Nutt. Buddy flings his hair about and twangs his way languidly into his fans libidos with little or no effort. They both draw on the wild free magic in the Disc's make up and it's this that adds the bones to the ethereal nuances of their otherwise empty fatuous little talents for making reinforced/bouncy pants and pretty ditties?
Elves may not have imaginations but they sure like other people's and so this is all about taste and nuance and what you really need to get by Nobody's saying Pepe is actually an Elf - just that he's got some of their characteristics and that's what makes him a moody little diva who likes to get drunk. Is that Sam Vimes? He doesn't like to get drunk from what I remember? And that's why he's not like an Elf because he wants to be real
Buddy and Pepe are dreamers essentially - Buddy makes them into music and Pepe sells them as clothes that are more about style than function. Neither of them deal in reality as such, just a perception of it.
