Guest Post: Our "Let's Pretend" Economy: Let's Pretend "Job Growth Is Best Since 2006"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/09/2012 15:12 -0400
The Ministry of Propaganda and its media minions are announcing that "job growth is on a tear" and the "best growth since 2006." How about we look under the hood of the employment euphoria? Here is an example of the Ministry's work: Best U.S. employment growth in 12 years Almost all the data agree — labor market's on a tear.
Over the past six months, the number of people who are employed has risen by 2.3 million — an average of 385,000 per month. That's the best growth since early 2000, when the dot-com bubble was in full flower. Since August, the unemployment rate has fallen by 0.8 of a percentage points, to 8.3%. For adults over 25, the jobless rate has fallen to 7%.
In other words, people who generally work full time so they don't have to share a bunk in a flop house or live in their parents' basement are almost fully employed, as 'full employment" typically generates an unemployment rate of 5% just due to churn. Would we as a nation be better off dealing with the truth rather than believing fantasies that prop up the Status Quo and the Fed's dearly beloved measure of the economy, the stock market? How often does accepting illusion help us navigate real life? Short answer: never.

German IFO Business Confidence Highest Since July, Sends EURUSD Briefly Over 1.33Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/23/2012 08:15 -0400
The phenomenon of market and confidence reflexivity is quite well known to the US, where not one but two indices, the UMichigan and Conference Board, provide upward boosts to the market when the market is going up, which in turn boosts confidence even more, and so on in a closed loop well used by agents of the central planning bureaus, especially during economic slides, when the "economy" is nothing but the Russell 2000. Europe is no stranger to this, and early this morning despite Germany's recent economic data coming out nothing short of atrocious, Germany announced its business managers are quite confident, and more so than expected whatever that means, after the IFO Business Survey printed at 109.6 on expectations of 108.3 - the highest reading since July 2011. As a reminder, 9 days ago "The German Industrial Output Slides More Than Greek, Despite Favorable ZEW" - in other words, the propaganda machine is out in full force, desperate to break the linkage between Europe's recessionary economy, and the market which has soared over the past 4 months for one reason only - trillions in central bank liquidity. Alas, the bill has now come in in the form of record Brent in British pounds, fresh all time highs in energy prices, and WTI which if Goldman is right, will hit $120 this summer and send Obama's reelection chances down the toilet. Anyway, here is Goldman with a note on the German confidence index which briefly sent the EURUSD up 80 pips to a high of 1.3340, showing just how volatile the fulcrum security now is with 148K net shorts, since retracing most of the gains as apparently not even the market is that stupid to believe the confidence is more important than hard data following the EU's announcement that the Eurozone will officially see a GDP decline of -0.3% in 2012 vs previous expectations of +0.5% rise.

Preview Of Today's Key Events: Chicago PMI And Case ShillerSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/31/2012 09:11 -0400
Busy day for headline chasers (which these days is everyone) with the ISM-leading Chicago PMI taking center stage at 9:45 am. At some point the economy will have to start 'confirming' the Bernanke Bear case or else one may get the impression that the Chairman was merely posturing with providing a perpetual LSAP open backstop to the Russell 2000. Also, the Case Shiller index which will report the 7th consecutive home price drop will likely not get a whole lot of attention.

Today's Economic Data Highlights - Case Shiller, Conference Board And 3rd To Last POMOSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/28/2011 08:05 -0400
Even as everyone is glued to webcasts out of Athens, there will be some secondary data in the US, first of which is the Case-Shiller index, as usual about 3 months delayed, and thus very much irrelevant, and second is the circular loop of an indicator that is the Conference Board (it's up when the market is up, it's up when the market is down but when the respondents are Wall Street CEOs, it's up when stocks plunge but when gas is down a cent, and in fact, it is never down). More importantly, the third to last POMO in QE2 will be completed at 11 am. Lastly, $35 billion in 5 year notes will be "sold" to Primary Dealers.

As Conference Board/UMichigan Find Confidence At 3 Year High, Rasmussen Says Investor Confidence Plunges To 2011 LowsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/25/2011 12:42 -0400
Is it about the time that everyone agreed that all "consumer confidence" is politicized, circular, irrelevant, and just as credible as the next lie to come out of Larry Yun's mouth? While a few days Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan "found" that Consumer Confidence had surged to a According to Rasmussen, "investor confidence sinks to another 2011 low." Ok, enough. It is more than obvious to anyone with half a brain that "confidence" is nothing more than a gamed, goal seeked indicator, which is a function purely and entirely of the political agenda of the entity collecting the data. Another great example: while the Consumer Comfort index was managed by ABC until last week, it was scraping all time lows. Then the week it starts being managed by Bloomberg, and, lo and behold: "Consumer Comfort Increases to Highest Level Since 2008." A surge in confidence? Really? On gasoline passing $4? Luckily even Bloomberg admits the credibility of this latest propaganda index is suggest to say the least: "The four-point gain last week follows a five-point increase
in early January. The gauge dropped five points in the week
ended Feb. 6, the biggest setback since January 2010. Movements of that magnitude are unusual because the index
is based on a four-week average, Langer said. Nonetheless, the
gauge is mimicking the shifts seen in a 10-week span in mid-
1993, when the economy was also recovering from a recession." Ah, the good old Bloomberg "assumption taken as fact" Jedi mind trick. Last time we checked the only "recovery" was that in the debt ceiling, er, target, assuming its achievement of $100 trillion in under 10 years is considered "recovery." Was the "also recovery" driven by the biggest global deficit spend in the history of the world, and the first outright debt monetization episode since the advent of Weimar? Guess we won't read that in the Bloomberg piece.

The Lies Continue: UMichigan Consumer Confidence Beats Days After Conference Board MissesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/01/2010 09:59 -0400
Confused yet: a few days ago the Conference Board came out with a confidence number which was a massive miss, and which drove market higher on expectations of QE2. Today, to prove that nothing coming out of the government is even remotely credible anymore, the UMichigan Confidence index came at 68.2, beating expectations of 67.0, and compared to a previous read of 66.6. Once again, our condolences to all those who trade the candles in this joke passing for a market.

ABC Consumer Confidence Misses Estimates, Stays Near Record Lows, Divergence With Conference Board Is Now CompleteSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/26/2010 19:11 -0400
What a difference two presumably unmanipulated data series show. Earlier, the Conference Board showed that its index had hit the highest since September 2008, based on "improved economic conditions" (god bless them, and here we were thinking that 17.3% unemployment is indicative of just slight deterioration). However, after the close, ABC Consumer Comfort came out, and, lo and behold, demonstrates that another index of so-called consumer confidence in the current "economic improvement" is at an all time low. So seriously, who should we believe anymore? And is it time the Census bureau released an index that keeps track of lies, manipulation and discrepancies between reality and "economic index indicators?"

John Krygier pointed us to Hopeworks, a program in Camden, NJ whose mission includes reducing the dropout rate and to create hope for the future. They attempt to do this by engaging students through web and GIS services. The site is impressive and the concept is great.
They also have a position open for their GIS Director, a great GIS and society position for those interested.
I will be heading to the Agronomy/Soils/Crop conference in Salt Lake City in a couple of weeks (which means we won't be going to Applied Geography). I will be putting up posters while I am there, but if anyone is going to be at the conference, or just live in SLC, a meetup could be arranged. Email me if you are interested, if we put something together then I will post the info by Nov 5 and mention it in podcast 16.
An article on the use of podcasts in the classroom, primarily on their use in schools such as Duke and Perdue to act in support of classroom lectures. Fairly interesting.
While not really spatial, I thought Music Plasma was an interesing application for graphically showing relationships for data points. In this case, they're pulling data from Amazon's databases to show how certain bands "relate" to other bands, at least as far as Amazon's customer habits are concerned. It's interesting to remember that relationships beyond spatial ones can be shown using some of the more abstract concepts we see everyday in maps. Plus you can find really cool music you never heard of by starting with your favorite bands. That's always cool.

It's less than a month until Geography Awareness Week (November 13-19) and GIS Day (November 16). Already, ESRI announced last week that all 6 New England states and New York are participating in GIS Day. For those of you who may be new to working with geospatial technologies, GIS Day is an annual event that promotes GIS and includes events in schools, universities, and other organizations and has participants from around the world. If you or your organization haven't participated or recognized Geography Awareness Week or GIS Day before, it's a great event that can showcase how GIS, geospatial technologies and geography play a role in your work. So celebrate Geography Awareness Week and GIS Day!
A resolution has been introduced in the US Senate to back the Bush administration's efforts to stop the UN from taking some of the control of the Internet away from the US. It basically says that the Senate will support the US efforts in the negotiations in Tunisia, but at least they are aware of the importance of this issue. In this article from ZDNet UK, a couple of points were brought up that I didn't even know: there have suggestions made that taxes be levied on domain names to pay for "universal access" and since 1999 UN agencies have thought about taxing Internet email. I know that people from other countries may not think that US control of the Internet is best, but given the current alternatives, the status quo seems like the best option.

Comings and Goings from Auckland, New Zealand
By Thaddeus McCarthy
Dear Fans,
As I have just returned home from covering the ASB Classic, and the Heineken Open is already underway, I thought that now would be a good time to give you a summary of the Classic and an intro to the Open.
The ASB Classic was a fantastic six day event played at the ASB Tennis Centre, Auckland. It was (pleasantly) sunny, even though the forecast had predicted rain. The play did not disappoint, and from a personal perspective, as it was my first time covering a tournament, it was brilliant, and the experience certainly lived up to expectations. It was also the dream final, the one everyone had wanted from the start, Venus Williams vs. Ana Ivanovic. Now sometimes these sort of the matches can be disappointments; like many of the long awaited finals in our sport e.g. any number of the Federer/Nadal French Open finals. But this was different; it was tight and the tennis was electrifying. In the first set, Ivanovic cruised to win 6-2. Venus saved a match point at 5-4 in the second set, and went on to win it 7-5. In the final set though Ivanovic's younger legs proved to be springier. She caught a break at the early stages of the set, and did not let go from there, eventually prevailing 6-4, and taking the title.
Both Venus and Ivanovic said in the post-match interviews, that this tournament was the perfect preparation for the Australian Open. I think after watching both players, I would expect at least one of them to go into the second week there. They are both on comeback trails right now, but I think that Ana is the more likely one to do so. She has the younger legs, still only being 26. And has a number of weapons on disposal, such as a blistering ground strokes and strong service game. Whereas with Venus you have to say that age is catching up with her. The other player that most impressed me from the tournament was American Jamie Hampton. I was at the press conference where she announced that she was pulling out of her semi-final with Venus, due to a hip injury. Something about her struck me. She seemed in a way similar to the Mighty Fed, in that she spoke almost in third person. She seemed very sure of herself, and I am certain that if she gets over her injury in time, by the Australian Open she will do well. In her quarterfinal against Lauren Davis, I was impressed by the all-round strength of her game.
The NZ Festival of Tennis continues this week, with the Heineken Open. David Ferrer is the defending champion here, and has come back (now as the World No. 3) to defend his title. The other headline acts will be Tommy Haas and John Isner. Gael Monfils, the flamboyant Frenchman unfortunately pulled out this week citing fatigue. Being the first month of the year this is pretty doubtful, but understandable that if he is not feeling totally right, he doesn't want to ruin himself for the coming Slam. The tournament organisers were in talks with Andy Murray's manager about potentially getting him in on a wild card, after his early exit from the Qatar Open. Unfortunately though, this was not to be the case. In reality it was too much of a rush for Murray to suddenly come down here to play a tournament after his Qatar loss. Tournament Director Karl Budge insisted after the Murray and Monfils announcements that the tournament does still have some exciting talent, such as young American Jack Sock, not to mention Marcos Baghdadis, Benoit Paire and Phillip Kohlschreiber. Ferrer's path to the title, will no doubt still be a difficult one, even without a Murray in his way.
As the Classic proved for the ladies, the Heineken Open will serve as a good preparation for the Australian Open, as that Slam begins on the 15th. If I were to predict a player from this tournament who has the potential to win it though, it would not be David Ferrer. Although he has a very high likelihood of winning the Heineken again, I just don't think that he has enough firepower to win a Slam. Yes, he did reach the French final last year (where he was dually shellacked in straight sets by Nadal), but Slam winners traditionally need to have a weapon arsenal at their disposal. It is very uncommon for journeyman (such as Ferrer) to win Slams. One-Slam-Wonder Journeyman who immediately come to mind include Andrei Gomez (1990 French) and Thomas Johanseen (2002 Aussie). Now in both these cases they were lucky; in Gomez's case, Agassi was more worried about his hair piece falling out than winning the final. In Johanseen's case, he had a very favourable draw that year, and played the volatile and unstable Marat Safin in the final.
My pick for the surprise run of the tournament is Benoit Paire. He is a tall man, with surprising balance, and of course has a booming serve. Although he has not yet gone beyond the third round of a Slam, the Australian as we all know is notorious for unexpected runs. Marcos Baghdadis, 2006 anyone? Or how about Fernando Gonzalez, 2007, or Tsonga, 2008. All of those players had weapon arsenals; the Gonzalez forehand was, is still is legendary. Whatever the case though, surprise run or not, for all of the players involved in this lead-up tournament, the Heineken will be great preparation for the Aussie Open.
You will hear from me again at the completion of the tournament. So for now, keep well.

Entering Rhodos by boat, first time, and again
Every landing with a boat is a nice experience. But entering the Port of Rhodos is like a dream, gliding quietly into the stage setup of the port with statues at the entrance and the crusader castle ahead. It was in the morning light, after cruising at night.
I remembered this dramatic entrance for many years. After thirty years I did it a second time, maybe nothing changed but myself. But I felt a disappointment that the first time impression can't be repeated.
On my third entrance seventeen years later, I already knew the place so well that it was just repetition. So when I admire a view at first sight, I should look at it carefully and not in a hurry, thinking that I can later see it once again more thoroughly. It's never the same.Related to:

If you're coming from meta.osqa.net, please visit the OSQA space for all your old content. If you can't login, please request a temporary login to gain access to your account.
Ok, this is what i'm trying to do. I don't know if you're familiar with comet chat ( soft of a chat like facebook chat ), and i'm trying to install it along OSQA. I succeeded to install it on a server ( works great ) but, i can only use the chat function after user is logging in. I read their specifications on "how to" do this, but i'm sort of confused ( i'm new to Python ). Bellow is on their support page.
"If you are using another language like ASP, ColdFusion, Python etc. then set a cookie immediately after login with the user's ID. You can read that using the following function :"
function getUserID() {
$userid = 0; // Return 0 if user is not logged in
if (!empty($_COOKIE['userid'])) {
$userid = $_COOKIE['userid'];
return $userid;
Ok, i know a little bit more PHP and i understand what this function does... but how can i get the current Session from python ? That's my problem... Also, they've mentioned the fallowing :
"If you are using a more complex method of authentication like storing the session_hash in the database, then your getUserID() function will look something like:"
function getUserID() {
$userid = 0; // Return 0 if user is not logged in
if (!empty($_COOKIE['sessionhash'])) {
$sql = ("select userid from ".TABLE_PREFIX."session
where sessionhash = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_COOKIE['sessionhash'])."'");
$query = mysql_query($sql);
$session = mysql_fetch_array($query);
$userid = $session['userid'];
return $userid;
Looked around the web and did read that django uses a DB table for storing sessions ( don't know yet if OSQA is doing the same ).
Anywho, any help is much apreciated... a line of code, a link ... :)
Answer by MechanisM · Apr 14, 2011 at 10:38 AM
you can use some ready django apps with chat functionalities. like: https://github.com/thepug/Speeqe (Stackoverflow's chat.stackoverflow.com) using it. and just easy integrate it with osqa coz it's django-based too. other links: http://code.google.com/p/django-chat/ and http://code.google.com/p/django-jqchat/ I'm myself, using chat from http://ape-project.org with my django project.
Thanks for the reply! But, if take a look here : http://www.cometchat.com/demo you can see it's not the same thing ... This chat sort of different ...
hey you can create the same look & functionalities chat from these chats I've provided. even better it's free and opensource. and all django-powered - just like OSQA.
I mean by structure/functionality these chats "comet" chats too. If you know what really means comet in web.
if you want bottom panel like have chat you provided, you can use: Jixedbar http://code.google.com/p/jixedbar/
Yes, i know what comet in web means, I took a look at speeqe, didn't read the requirements yet... i'll give it a try. But, still waiting for a solution if possible :)
Answer by MechanisM · Apr 14, 2011 at 10:53 AM
btw you can embed your comet chat as iframe, and for autorization use cookies. or store osqa and chat session in redis db for example.
Yes, Jixedbar provides me a bottom pannel, but it doesn't provide a chat :) as i see it from demo...
jixedbar can be layout basis where you'll run these django powered chats from my links. I mean with jixedbar chats from my links can look like comet chat from your link.
MechanisM, your help is much appreciated...but still i want to go with comet chat for a couple of simple reasons ( support, easy instalation ( on server anyways ), great design, etc ). Still anybody can help, would be great !
Doesn't anybody know ? :) ...
Answer by MechanisM · Apr 18, 2011 at 02:14 PM
then use php-based OSQA analogue: http://support.lampcms.com/ it's will be easy to integrate Comet Chat to it.
I preferably stick with OSQA under python.. it's greater than any other Q&A system currently on the web. Thanks.
agree. python rocks!

Walter Energy Inc.
) provided preliminary operational updates for the second quarter
of 2013. Walter Energy's second quarter metallurgical (met) coal
production increased 7% sequentially to 2.9 million metric tons
A 0.4 MMTs increase in low and mid volatile (vol) coal
production at the Alabama mines propelled the company's overall
production level. However, met coal sales took a hit, declining
11.1% sequentially to 2.4 MMTs, mainly due to late arrival of
The successful cost reduction efforts proved to be a silver
lining for Walter Energy in the second quarter. The 14% decrease
in production cost per metric ton (MT) at its Alabama mines
shrank met coal cash cost of production per MT by 10%
sequentially. Although production levels were down in the
Canadian operations, plummeting met cash costs of production led
to the cost deceleration.
Moreover, excluding the lower of cost or market ("LCM") charge
to ending inventory, met coal cash cost of sales per MT improved
marginally from the last quarter. Coal producers like Walter
Energy are currently reacting defensively to the downturn in
international coal prices. They are lowering production
activities at selected mines and concentrating more on
cost-saving solutions.
The company's financial results were affected by the ongoing
sluggishness in the global met coal market. This prompted Walter
Energy to amend its credit facility in order to boost its
financial flexibility.
In addition, Walter also reduced its regular quarterly
dividend to 1 cent per share from 1.25 cents. The revised
dividend will be paid on Sep 6, 2013, to shareholders of record
at the close of the business on Aug 6, 2013.
We expect the combination of met coal supply glut in Asia and
demand slackness in China compounded by fragile demand from
Europe to weaken global met coal prices. This will hurt Walter
Energy's exports. In addition, China's efforts to indigenously
produce met coal would threaten the company's met coal

Peninsula SymphonyRead MorePeninsula Symphony, founded in 1949 with the goal of enriching communities with affordable musical productions, grew from a grassroots ensemble to a 90-plus-member orchestra of well-trained local musicians. Music Director Mitchell Sardou Klein leads the ensemble with a steady baton, a sharp ear, and the stamina to carry on through the inevitable triple encore.2215 Broadway St.Redwood City, CA US
Viva la Musica!Read MoreViva la Musica!?s eclectic assembly of volunteer singers flawlessly fuses the choral-orchestral genre with folk songs, gospel, and multicultural numbers. This December, the troupe celebrates its 11th annual holiday concert, reaching deep into its repertoire to dazzle listeners with an aural collage more inspirational than a self-help book penned by a state bird. Director Shulamit Hoffmann leads the spirited squad of singers who, backed by a brass ensemble, traverse musical history, covering hymns from 16th-century Venetian antiphonies all the way up to modern-day genres such as contemporary American jazz. At 3:30 p.m. before the concert starts, Hoffmann will discuss details and historic information on the show's works and musical notes at no additional charge. Adding to the festive airs and flocks of gift-wrapped quarter notes, the performance will also include a rendition of John Rutter?s fiery anthem, Gloria. St. Peter's has free parking.178 Clinton StreetRedwood City, CA US

One of Haydn's famous Prussian quartets opens the program with rich interplay between instruments and instantly accessible melodies before Quincy Porter's String Quartet no. 6 spotlights a 20th-century take on the classical form. To help perform Tchaikovsky's energetic Souvenir of Florence sextet and feed the metronomes during the earlier pieces, violist and co-founder of the Moab Music Festival Leslie Tomkins wields her bow alongside guest cellist Tanya Tomkins of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra.1985 Louis RdPalo Alto, CA US
Oddball Comedy FestivalRead MoreHershey Theatre The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival.

It followed its first production, The King and I, with a decade of top-name talent and Broadway musicals. Then, recognizing its place on the theater scene was permanent, it planted its roots as a fully enclosed theater-in-the-round. Expanding its repertoire to match its new digs, the theater showcased performers such as The Who, Bruce Springsteen, and Julie Andrews.

Watch What Happens When A White Blood Cell Diesby Julia Bobak
Using a technique called time-lapse microscopy, scientists have actually been able to "film" the death of a white blood cell. The painstaking work involved taking hundreds of microscope photos and then viewing them sequentially in rapid succession to produce a motion picture. The result was the first true video of white blood cell death and revealed that the process is not at all what we imagined.
Make Your Own Carbon Nanoparticlesby Julia Bobak
Carbon nanoparticles have been shown to be extremely useful in ferrying pharmaceuticals within the body. They are small enough to escape notice of the body's immune system and reflect light in such a way that they can be easily distinguished from natural tissues. Unfortunately, their production has always involved complicated and expensive equipment and slow purification processes. Now bioengineers have found a way to produce them in just a few hours with only a microwave and simple household products like molasses and honey.
Graphene In The Spotlight Again With World's Thinnest Lightbulbby Julia Bobak
For the first time, scientists have demonstrated an "on-chip" white light source using graphene. This atomically thin lightbulb opens the door for ultra-thin, transparent and flexible displays – picture a smartphone that you can wrap around your wrist like a bracelet, t-shirts with integrated computers, or Google Glass-style eyewear that is indistinguishable from regular glasses. Not only that, but this new light source also paves the way to integrated photonic circuits, one of the most exciting ways to dramatically increase computing speeds.
Move Over Electrons, This Computer Runs On Drops Of Waterby Julia Bobak
Imagine a chemistry laboratory the size of a postage stamp. Thousands of beakers, each no bigger than a poppy seed, conducting thousands of reactions under the careful control of an external operator. This may soon be a reality thanks to engineers at Stanford who have developed a novel method of computing by manipulating the flow of water droplets through a circuit. This opens the door to a brand new field in which computers not only process information, but simultaneously manipulate physical matter.
Superhydrophobic Surfaces Make Cleaning A Task Of The Pastby Julia Bobak
Have you ever seen a drop of water strike a lotus leaf? It immediately beads up and runs off, taking any dirt particles with it. This self-cleaning functionality is known as the Lotus Effect and is a coveted property for many man-made materials as well. Recently, scientists have reported a new manufacturing technique that allows glass surfaces to be easily endowed with this function. Solar panels are just one example of a technology that will greatly benefit from this discovery.

Geoengineering Might Be The Last Chance For Coral Reefsby Julia Bobak
We are all aware of many of the myriad effects of climate change – higher temperatures, rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, but coral bleaching has tended to escape notice despite being one of the most acute problems facing our oceans right now. New research resulting from a worldwide collaboration suggests that we have reached a tipping point and a geoengineering technique called Solar Radiation Management may be the only way to save coral reefs from mass bleaching.
No More IVF Mix-ups: Barcode Your Sperm And Eggsby Julia Bobak
It may sound like something out of science fiction, but researchers in Barcelona have found a way to attach unique barcodes to sperm and egg cells in order to eliminate in vitro fertilization mix-ups. Though said mix-ups are rare, the consequences can be emotionally devastating for those involved. Scientists have now created microscale polysilicon chips that attach to individual sex cells allowing a foolproof means of identification with no apparent health side-effects.

Say what you will about George W. Bush, he at least understood the best way to get a "yes" in the often paralyzed Congress was to simply give people what they wanted most. He would give conservatives lower taxes, he would sometimes try to give Democrats increased spending on programs, and he would give corporations a cushy role as needless middlemen.
This all-goodies approach often increase the deficit, but the Bush administration didn't care about deficits and by going along with it Congressional Republican showed it isn't really a top priority for them either.
For years Obama has tried to convince all sides to needlessly sacrifice what they care about for a "grand bargain on the deficit," and not surprisingly that has been a huge failure.
It now sounds like Obama may switch tactics and actually try offer all sides what they really want the most to get a deal. It is part of his proposed "grand bargain for middle-class jobs." From AP story the White House tweeted:
President Barack Obama is extending a new proposal to Republicans that he hopes will break the political gridlock on budget negotiations, offering to cut corporate tax rates in exchange for job investments.
White House officials say just because they're at an impasse with congressional Republicans over a grand bargain on reducing the deficit doesn't mean they shouldn't look for other areas of agreement. So Obama plans to use a trip to an Amazon.com distribution center in Chattanooga, Tenn., on Tuesday to propose a "grand bargain for middle-class jobs."
It sounds like Republicans will get lower taxes, which has always been their overwhelming top goal. Democrats will get spending on jobs programs. Corporations will get lower taxes and more government contracts.
I can't speak to the merits of this proposal but politically it might work as long as everyone is getting what they really want. Once Obama starts asking some groups to really sacrifice for the deal, the dynamic could be ruined.

Product description
Vespasian is serving as a military officer on the outskirts of the Roman Empire, suppressing local troubles and defending the Roman way. But political events in Rome - Tiberius' increasingly insane debauchery, the escalating grain crisis - draw him back to the city. When Caligula becomes Emperor, Vespasian believes that things will improve. Instead, he watches his leader deteriorate from Rome's shining star to a blood-crazed, profligate madman. Lavish building projects, endless games, public displays of his incestuous relationship with his sister, Drusilla, and a terrified senate are as nothing to Caligula's most ambitious plan: to bridge the bay of Neapolis and ride over it wearing Alexander's breastplate. And it falls to Vespasian to make the long journey to Alexandria to steal the legendary armour. Vespasian's mission will lead to violence, mayhem and murder - and in the end, to a betrayal so great it will echo through the ages...

IPhone 4S Disappoints Consumers, Investors; Siri App Kicked Out of App Store

iPhone 4S
(Source: DailyTech)
A lack of hardware updates leaves customers and investors disappointed in the new iPhone 4S
Through a good portion of 2011, many awaited the big
iPhone 5
announcement with the traditional amped-up presentation to show off all the new features an Apple fan could hope for. Instead, what they got was the iPhone 4S and a presentation that lacked the charisma of former CEO Steve Jobs.
iPhone 4S
, which was announced yesterday, does give customers a few changes to look forward to. It's trading in the single-core A4 processor for a dual-core A5 processor. Also, it has 8-megapixel camera with backside illumination (the iPhone 4 had a 5MP camera), the new mobile operating system iOS 5, and it can operate on CDMA and GSM networks.
A main addition to the 4S is the voice assistant called Siri. Siri has been a third-party app that could be downloaded for iOS devices, but now, a more fluid and user-friendly version of the app is integrated into the iPhone 4S. The app was removed from Apple's App Store after presenting the 4S yesterday, and the servers were taken offline. The Siri servers, however, are back online with the following message: "I've been replaced! The new Siri is even smarter and better looking than me, and waiting for you on the iPhone 4S. I'll be leaving for home Oct. 15th. Until then...how can I help you?"
While a newer, better version of Siri voice command is a nice addition to the 4S; it may not be enough to encourage current iPhone 4 users to switch to the latest addition to the iPhone family. Many were disappointed by the lack of external changes, saying they had hoped for a thinner phone with a larger screen. The iPhone's appearance has not changed in over a year, unless you count the release of the
white iPhone 4
"It's been 16 months and all you've got is an A5 processor in the existing iPhone 4," said Colin Gillis, an analyst with BGC Partners. "It's a mild disappointment, but they're still going to be selling millions of units."
The iPhone 4S may sell during the upcoming holiday season due to the expiration of two-year 3GS contracts, but Android-powered smartphones are at the top of their game and Apple really could have used a home run with a new device to intensify competition. Android-powered smartphones had voice command features integrated into their systems already, and the hardware/software is continuously changing. Apple's decision to not update hardware in the 4S may lead to more Android-related purchases, putting the iPhone maker behind by the time it releases the iPhone 5.
According to a Nielsen study,
Android-powered smartphones
are No. 1 in the U.S. with a 43 percent market share leaving the iPhone at No. 2 with a 28 percent market share.
Consumers and investors are disappointed in the 4S release, but Apple has some other tricks up its sleeve. Along with the 4S announcement came the news of a
$99 iPhone 4 and a free iPhone 3GS
for those who sign long-term contracts with their wireless carriers. This will appeal to low-end markets and give Apple an edge in a whole new area.
"Apple is
hitting Nokia
where it's vulnerable," said Michael Yoshikami, CEO of YCMNet Advisors. "How many billions of people in emerging markets would love to have an iPhone? These are a growing demographic."
The iPhone 4S will be available starting at $199 on October 14.

RE: New Apple release strategy?
Could be true. We'll see, but we're currently at a point of diminishing returns where things are "good enough". Displays are really good, SoCs are really good and improving at an insane rate, etc etc.
Specwise the iPhone 4S is really far ahead of the pack, at least until Tegra 3 drops, then we'll see how it stacks up once it is benchmarked. Based on Anand's benchmarks from earlier this year, even an underclocked PowerVR GPU in the A5 would steamroll the fastest SoCs currently available in Android handsets. Then there's the fact that iOS actually has developers who put the GPU to use.
Right now the main thing that needs to be added is LTE, and Anand also explained that the size of the hardware will be an issue for the iPhone's chassis until next year when 28nm chips are available. Battery life is another problem, it would be unacceptable for an iPhone to drop from eight hours of talk time to three hours like you get with a Galaxy II. 28nm chips will be much more power efficient and finally make sense for the iPhone, as long battery life is one of the things it takes seriously.
Lack of hardware diversity only matters in one respect, the keyboard, and we all know that the iPhone isn't getting one. Otherwise the technology is fast, faster than Tegra 2 or Hummingbird, now the main thing that matters to people is the OS, developer support, and ease of use, and those are all major strengths of the iOS platform.
"We can't expect users to use common sense. That would eliminate the need for all sorts of legislation, committees, oversight and lawyers." -- Christopher Jennings

Here's the trailer for Tales of the Night, the Michel Ocelot film that Jason mentions:
You can get links to the trailers for the other films, including The Warriors, via at the Patio Theater Events page.
You can read more about the partnership between the Patio and the Chicago Cinema Society at DNAinfo.com. Short version, they're helping bring a broader range of programming to the Patio, which has been mainly a second run (or late first run) theater since it reopened. This makes the Patio much more of a "destination" theater than it was before, I think, and should therefore expand its customer base farther outside of Portage Park than it had been before.
This strip isn't just Chicago movie theater news wankery, though; without getting into spoilers, you can probably imagine how — given Multiplex's new focus on the cast as movie theater managers — this is… relevant.
EDIT: Oh, and Odd Obsession is an independently owned and run Chicago video store that specializes in hard to find movies of all kinds. If you're a movie buff in the Chicago area, do yourself a favor and check it out.
See you Monday!

The Multiplex 10 is ten years old this month
Wednesday, July 1, 2015
Ten years ago this month (on July 10th, 2005, to be specific), I posted two shitty looking comics to a corner of the Stripped Books website. At that point, I had no idea what I was in for: it was a gag strip that would quickly transform into a character-based comedy where people talk about movies — not just superficially about specific movies, but about how people watch and talk about movies of all kinds. The art got a little better, too.
The Multiplex characters took on a life of their own and ultimately turned this comic into an eleven- or twelve-year "epic" about the movie theater industry in one of the most interesting periods in its hundred-year history (and also this one jerk who kinda sorta becomes a slightly better person maybe if you squint your eyes and cock your head to the side a little).
Multiplex's readership grew quickly in those first few years, thanks in very large part to a pair of guest strips on PvP and some well-placed Project Wonderful ad campaigns (thanks, Something Positive and Shortpacked!), and in the years since it has since retained a small but passionate readership that has supported me time and time again: the Patreon project of course, as well as two successful Kickstarter projects to fund two books I'm very proud of.*
Thank you for allowing me to tell this story.
Thank you for reading.
— Gordon
* Speaking of Kickstarter projects, there will be an announcement about Multiplex: Book Three… very soon.
