Microsoft is gearing up to unveil its own tablet to boost its new Windows 8 operating system and counter Apple's hot-selling iPad, according to media reports.
Such an effort, which the company has not confirmed, would be a departure from its usual focus on software and potentially throw Microsoft into direct competition with its closest hardware partners such as Samsung and Hewlett-Packard.
The world's largest software company has invited media to a "major" announcement in Los Angeles on Monday (local time) afternoon, but has not provided any details.
In the absence of information, talk is swirling that Microsoft will introduce its own tablet, according to anonymously sourced reports in the New York Times and the AllThingsD tech blog. Microsoft declined comment on the subject and those reports.
It is not the first time such talk has surfaced, as Microsoft looks for a way to make an impact with its new tablet-friendly Windows 8 operating system and put the best product it can in the market to counter Apple's iPad.
Apple, which makes both hardware and software for greater control over the performance of the final product, has revolutionised mobile markets with its smooth, seamless phones and tablets. Rival Google may experiment with a similar approach after buying phone maker Motorola Mobility this year.
"Anything is possible if they don't feel their partners are doing it right," said Michael Silver, an analyst at tech research firm Gartner. "But it's hard to compete with companies that sell your stuff and still have a great relationship with them."
Other analysts suggested an own-branded tablet may be chiefly aimed at kick-starting the market for Windows tablets working on ARM Holdings microprocessors - a new venture for Microsoft, which has traditionally relied on Intel chips.
Microsoft charges hardware makers US$50 or more to incorporate its software in machines and analysts suggest that hardware makers are struggling to produce tablets at a low enough price to challenge the iPad. By making its own tablets, Microsoft would presumably use its software for free, bringing down the overall price.
"It suggests to me that they've struggled to get OEMs (hardware makers) on board to bring the prices down, so they feel they have to subsidize these products to get them out of the door, at least in the first iteration," said Al Hilwa, an analyst at tech research firm IDC.
Making its own hardware for such an important product would be a departure for Microsoft, which based its success on licensing its software to other manufacturers, stressing the importance of "partners" and the Windows "ecosystem".
When it has ventured into hardware, the Redmond, Washington-based company has a mixed record.
Apart from keyboards and mice, the Xbox game console was its first foray into major manufacturing. That is now a successful business, but only after billions of dollars of investment and overcoming problems with high rates of faulty units - a problem which was nicknamed the "red ring of death" by gamers.
The company's Microsoft-branded Zune music player, a late rival to Apple's iPod, was not a success and its unpopular Kin phone was taken off the market shortly after introduction.
Microsoft has tried hard to generate the type of excitement Apple gets for its secretive product launches, but usually disappoints. Talk was rife at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2010 that Microsoft would pre-empt Apple's iPad with a slate of its own devising, but it never materialized.
The company killed off a two-screen, slate-style prototype called Courier later that year, saying the technology might emerge in another form later on.

Round 1 – Mousasi and Jardine kick it off with Jardine throwing jabs and coming forward. Mousasi throws a kick and gets taken down, only to get right back up. Jardine throwing a lot of kicks and punches, backing Mousasi up. After a short flurry, Jardine rushes in to get the clinch, taking down Mousasi a short while later. Mousasi gets back up, but his opponent takes him right back down. Jardine allows him to get up and Mousasi turns it up a notch, pressing the Jackson's MMA fighter. Jardine gets Mousasi down again, but Mousasi throws an upkick and the ref puts a pause on the action. As a result, the referee deducts one point from Mousasi. The action continues and Mousasi lands some shots while in a Thai clinch. The round ends with Jardine looking a little winded.
Round 2 – Jardine landing some solid leg kicks, but Mosasi lands a nice counter right. Jardine is bloody in the face, dripping from the nose. Halfway through the round and Mousasi is getting the advantage on the feet. Jardine lands a nice left mid kick. Mousasi throws a punch that misses and opens up Jardine's opportunity to get the clinch and take down. The two return to the feet and Mousasi lands a stiff jab. Jardine works to get a double leg takedown and is successful with about 40 seconds to go in the round. The two get back up and the round ends a short while later with Jardine having a large cut above his right eye.
Round 3 – Mousasi pushes the action early in the third and lands a low blow hard enough that Jardine needs a break. the ref halts the action, allowing him to recover. The fight continues and Jardine is trying to get a double leg, but can't. In a turn of events, Mousasi shoots in for a takedown and gets it. While getting up, Mousasi attempts a guillotine choke, but Jardine gets out of it. The two clinch against the fence and Mousasi gets his opponent down again. Mousasi gets full mount, but Jardine bucks out of it and gets back to the feet. Jardine's mouthpiece falls out and the ref stops action to put it back in. Both fighters looking tired at this point in the fight as Mousasi gets his opponent down and works for a kimura. No success with the submission leads the two fighters into a scramble on the ground. Mousasi lands in Jardine's half guard and works from there before an armbar attempt by Jardine just before the horn signals the end of the round.

Dielectric Communications has assembled a collection of new equipment to create a high-performance testing facility and expand its RF measurement capabilities. The new testing facility is located at Dielectric's headquarters in Raymond, ME.
The heart of Dielectric's new testing facility is a 60ft tapered electromagnetic anechoic chamber that is optimized to measure radiation patterns of 400MHz-5GHz.
Because both the source antenna and the antenna under testing operate with rotational flexibility, horizontal-, vertical-, elliptical- and circularly polarized antennas can all be completely and efficiently evaluated within the chamber. Each measurement is carried out in a controlled, reflection-free environment so external factors, such as weather, scatter and noise do not affect the test results.
The new testing facility also features a 250W power amplifier and a 950cu-ft, high-power PIM (passive intermodulation) chamber, which provides a completely enclosed, reflection-free environment in which full-sized antennas can be tested under high-power conditions to verify that they are free of any intermodulation.

Tom Bawden: BG worth bagging as it gets a handle on the problems
Investment View: Some apparent disadvantages are actually advantages in the longer term
Tom Bawden
Tom Bawden is Energy and Resources Correspondent for The Independent and Evening Standard.
Thursday 07 February 2013
BP, Shell and BG may all have just reported tumbling profits, but the similarities for the big three FTSE 100 oil and gas producers end there. For BP, the bottom line continues to be battered from the fallout of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in April 2010. Profits for 2012 tumbled by 50 per cent to $12bn (£7.6bn), hit by the ongoing costs of the incident and a 7 per cent decline in production after the mass-sale of assets to finance them.
Over at Shell, full-year profits fell by 6 per cent to $27bn, as the group's US business suffered from a cocktail of rising costs and falling prices as rivals stampeded into the booming US shale-gas industry.
At BG, the incoming chief executive Chris Finlayson, got off to a bad start on Tuesday, unveiling a 12 per cent fall in annual profits to $6.4bn, on the back of lengthy shutdowns in key North Sea fields, waterlogged wells in Egypt and, like Shell, too much competition in US shale gas.
On the surface, BG seems in dire straits, but delve a little deeper and the investment case for the former exploration arm of British Gas seems to be the strongest of the three hydrocarbon heavyweights. True, BG warned not only that production could fall this year but would also miss its 2015 target of more than 1 million barrels of oil and oil equivalent a day. As recently as September, BG had forecast 10 per cent production growth for 2013, which it revised down to "flat" in October following delays to projects in the North Sea and Brazil, difficulties in Egypt and a scaling back of its US shale-gas unit.
But while some projects may be taking longer than expected, BG is getting a handle on its problems. Moreover, some apparent short-term disadvantages are actually advantages in the longer term.
For example, the Santos Basin prospect, off the coast of Brazil, is behind schedule. But only because the "flow rate" on test wells was stronger than expected, meaning that the bendy, plastic pipes that they were going to use to transport the oil from the seabed wouldn't be able to cope with the pressure. So fixed steel pipes, which take longer to source and install, will be used instead. So the end result will be more oil. Yet BG's shares are still 14 per cent below their level just before October's first production downgrade, prompting Sanford C Bernstein's analyst Iain Pyle to declare: "BG's barrels in the ground are valued very cheaply" and make us recommend them as a buy.
A question mark still hangs over Shell's Arctic programme, where it has spent $5bn in the past seven years and is yet to locate commercially viable quantities of oil. Furthermore, its exploratory drilling campaign in the region could be put on hold this year, pending two government investigations and repairs relating to the grounding of its oil rig – the Kulluk – near the coast of Alaska on New Year's Eve.
There are also concerns about Shell's so-called reserve replacement ratio. This figure measures the amount of proven oil and gas reserves Shell added to its books relative to the amount it extracted and came in at just 44 per cent last year. To grow, the number needs to be more than 100.
However, management expect to improve the ratio and is investing heavily in projects such as deepwater exploration. In fact, some think it's investing too heavily, with capital spending set to increase by $3bn to $33bn this year as Shell seeks to hit its ambitious target of raising daily production from about 3.3 million barrels a day now to 4 million barrels in five years' time.
Shell sought to appease shareholders, promising to hike the dividend in the first quarter of 2013 by 4.7 per cent to 45 cents.
In the longer term, it has good exposure to assets such as oil sands, shale oil and liquefied natural gas, which have big reserve bases and can produce at a stable rate for the next 30 years. Hold.
BP is the great unknown. It recently agreed to sell its half of the troubled TNK-BP Russian joint venture to Rosneft, in a deal that simultaneously severs ties with the unpredictable AAR consortium of billionaires and paves the way for BP to tap the vast reserves of Russia and Venezuela in partnership with Rosneft.
But the cost of the oil spill is perhaps more uncertain than ever. Last week, $34bn of new legal claims emerged from US local and state governments, meaning BP could potentially be liable for $50bn more than it has budgeted for. It's very unlikely the company will have to stump up anything like that extra amount, but the prospect of debilitating additional costs cannot be entirely swept under the carpet. Hold.

Home > Press > Mcgovern Institute funds collaborative neurotechnology projects
The McGovern Institute for Brain Research has announced six new funding awards to develop technologies aimed at accelerating neuroscience research and developing new therapeutic approaches for brain disorders. The new projects are on themes ranging from brain-machine interfaces to new genetic tools and brain imaging methods.
The awards are part of the McGovern Institute Neurotechnology (MINT) program, established in 2006 to promote collaborations between neuroscientists and researchers from other disciplines within and beyond MIT. "Neuroscience has always been driven by new technologies," explained Charles Jennings, the MINT program director. "We want to take advantage of the extraordinary range of technological expertise at MIT to develop new methods that could transform the field."
The MINT awards typically provide up to $100,000 for one year of seed funding to test innovative ideas that traditional funding sources rarely support, and to determine if they are worth pursuing further.
To date, MINT has supported 11 projects, involving faculty members from seven MIT departments as well as a local startup company. "We're on the lookout for new ideas and we'd be delighted to hear from anyone who wants to work with us," Jennings said.
Two of the newly funded projects involve developing electrodes for long-term recordings in the brain. These have potential applications for studies of learning, and eventually for neuroprosthetic devices that could, for example, allow a paralyzed patient to control a robotic arm or a computer through mental activity. One of the new projects will explore the use of carbon nanotubes as a biocompatible material for electrode fabrication. Another will develop biodegradable coatings for thin flexible polymer electrodes to make them easier to insert into the brain.
Neuroscientists often face a challenge in analyzing the large datasets produced by human brain imaging studies. Two MINT projects will apply new computational approaches to fMRI data from visual recognition studies. If successful, these methods could reveal new insights into the brain's functional organization. They could also advance the study of brain disorders, for example by identifying relationships between brain activity, genetics and clinical diagnostic categories.
A fifth project will use optical methods to manipulate cell signaling pathways in vivo, with potential use in identifying targets for drug development. In the sixth project, the collaborators will develop a 3-D laser-based method for dissecting single neurons from brain tissue. The ability to analyze gene expression and other biochemical processes in single cells is especially important in the brain, where cells of many different types are closely intermingled.
Further details of these and previous MINT projects can be found at

- hybridization;
- intraspecific divergence;
- reproductive isolation
Phenotypically cryptic lineages appear common in nature, yet little is known about the mechanisms that initiate and/or maintain barriers to gene flow, or how secondary contact between them might influence evolutionary trajectories. The consequences of such contact between diverging lineages depend on hybrid fitness, highlighting the potential for postzygotic isolating barriers to play a role in the origins of biological species. Previous research shows that two cryptic, deeply diverged intraspecific mitochondrial lineages of a North American chorus frog, the spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer), meet in secondary contact in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Our study quantified hatching success, tadpole survival, size at metamorphosis, and development time for experimentally generated pure lineage and hybrid tadpoles. Results suggest that lineages differ in tadpole survival and that F1 hybrids may have equal fitness and higher than average mass at metamorphosis compared with pure parental crosses. These findings imply hybrid early life viability may not be the pivotal reproductive isolation barrier helping to maintain lineage boundaries. However, we observed instances of tadpole gigantism, failure to metamorphose, and bent tails in some tadpoles from hybrid families. We also speculate and provide some evidence that apparent advantages or similarities of hybrids compared with pure lineage tadpoles may disappear when tadpoles are raised with competitors of different genetic makeup. This pilot study implies that ecological context and consideration of extrinsic factors may be a key to revealing mechanisms causing negative hybrid fitness during early life stages, a provocative avenue for future investigations on barriers to gene flow among these intraspecific lineages.

Healthy Food Get Better Display at Shops in Fight Obesity Plan by Bloomberg
Jul 19, 2012 06:21 AM EDT | By Sriranjini
Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City has come up with a new plan to combat the rising obesity in his city.
The Bloomberg administration has struck a deal with the grocery stores and bodegas in some of New York's poorest sections, to display health food more prominently than junk food.
Like Us on Facebook
This change is already visible in some of the supermarkets and groceries in the Bronx. The first thing a shopper is likely to notice in these stores is fresh fruits and vegetables. Those food, which are deemed as unhealthy have been placed way at the back of the stores.
Health officials hope that the change in the display will result in a switch to eating healthier food on the part of the customer.
'Shop Healthy' banners will also be placed strategically near entrances of these shops.
Eighty of the 170 bodegas and supermarkets in two Bronx neighbourhoods have signed on. They agreed to display fruits and vegetables at the front of the store or by the cash register, put water and low-calorie drinks in coolers at eye level instead of sugary soda, and remove ads, featuring junk food, from the door.
"We believe that to tackle the epidemic of obesity, we need to do it on multiple fronts," Linda I. Gibbs, the city's deputy mayor for health and human services, said in a news conference at the C-Town. Gibbs praised the program for integrating community groups and local retailers into a broader effort to make sure shoppers have easy access to, and awareness of, healthier food options.
Most are of the opinion that fresh foods are more expensive than junk food. This wrong notion is said to be one of the contributing factors to high obesity in poor neighbourhoods. But Senator Gustavo Rivera, a Bronx Democrat, hopes that the 'Shop Healthy' program will erase such misconceptions.
However, some bodegas and supermarkets have refused to play along with this plan. They still prominently display high-sugar, high-calorie food, and maintain the stance that people should be allowed to buy whatever they please.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
25 Dec 2013 06:43 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt
There have been riots in the Egyptian city of Mansoura after the bombing of a police station that killed 14 people.
Police said on Tuesday three bombs had been planted before the explosion at the police station, two of which went off at almost at the same time. The third one, found in a car nearby, was defused.
They warned that the death toll from the bombing, which injured 150, could rise because more people might be trapped in the building.
Al Jazeera's Mohamed Fahmy, reporting from Cairo, said Ansar Beit al-Makdis, an armed group active in the Sinai peninsula, had claimed responsibility for bombing.
Live Box 201372884866233
The group, which is also known as Ansar Jerusalem, posted their statement on the Internet, Fahmy said.
Despite the group's claim, there were anti-riots in Mansoura on Tuesday afternoon.
Hundreds of people attacked shops and businesses and set two vans reportedly owned by the Muslim Brotherhood on fire, according to Al Jazeera's Mahmoud Sobky, reporting from Mansoura.
The blast had prompted a cabinet statement declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation, although officials did not directly accuse the group of staging the attack.
The Brotherhood, which is already outlawed, condemned the bombing as "an attack on the unity of the Egyptian people".
Thousands attend funeral
Adly Mansour, Egypt's interim president, has declared three days of mourning and thousands attended a mass funeral in Mansoura, north of Cairo, on Tuesday.
Mohamed Ibrahim, Egypt's interior minister, visited victims in the hospital where he promised that the January referendum would go ahead.
"The security plans have been made and what happened will not affect the referendum process because it has its own comprehensive security plan," Ibrahim said.
He said four people had been arrested after admitting their involvement in the attack.
"The attacks are an attempt to create a diversion and to terrorise people because of the referendum," he said. "But I want to reassure people that there is a plan in place, in co-operation with the armed forces to protect all of the election centres at the highest level."
Sections of the five storey building in the Nile Delta city has collapsed after the blast and police evacuated surrounding buildings.

Nasty colour, laddered really easily,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Girls Ladies Pink dance 70 Denier Standard ballet tap tights All Sizes by katz Dancewear (Misc.)
I bought these as I thought tights were tights, but no, you don't get more than you pay for. They are a salmony pink rather than a rosy pink and they could not withstand dancing as they bobbled and laddered the first time my daughter wore them. I will pay the extra for better quality next time. Not recommended.

TALENTED South Sydney half-back Adam Reynolds is in the box seat to make his debut for the NRL All Stars against the Indigenous All Stars at Suncorp Stadium on February 9.
Reynolds received the seventh-highest number of votes from fans in stage one of voting, the most of any half-back.
Brilliant Melbourne Storm No.7 Cooper Cronk was also in top 10 (at position 10), but with teammate Billy Slater coming in at number five, and only one player from each team able to get a start, Cronk, the Australian half-back, faces the prospect of missing out.
Almost 16,000 votes were registered, with Eels utility Jarryd Hayne the fan's favourite with 9491 votes, 208 ahead of Knights winger Akuila Uate.
Hayne said he was "really honoured" to be part of the All Stars concept, adding: "It's nice to be thought of by the fans who voted for me".
Others in the top 10 were: Brett Morris (Dragons), James Tamou (Cowboys), Fuifui Moimoi (Eels), Josh Morris (Bulldogs) and Paul Gallen (Sharks).
The next stage of voting, to open on December 10, will see NRL All Stars coach Wayne Bennett place the top 64 players (four from each club), in possible positions.
The public will then be able to vote for just one player from each team, those 16 to join Cameron Smith and Benji Marshall in the final team - Bennett and the NRL All Stars coaching staff will also have two wildcard selections.
Voting for the Indigenous All Stars team will also open on December 10, with both teams announced on January 16.

This is a beautiful landscape of the artist's winter view from his Long Island studio. Oil on canvas, 14 x 20 inches, c. 1935, signed in the lower left corner, in the original frame. This painting was given to the current family by the artist, their neighbor in Peconic, Long Island. Irving Wiles studied at the Art Students League in New York with William Merrit Chase who became a close friend and colleague, then spent some time in Paris studying at the Academy Julien.
This etching done in 1907 by Joseph Pennell measures 10 7/8 x 8 1/2 inches. It is pencil signed on the lower margin by the artist and is #463 in the Wuerth catalog. Known as an etcher, lithographer and illustrator, Pennell was also close friends with fellow artist James McNeill Whistler. He taught at the National Academy and the Art Students League of New York City.
Silverpoint on gessoed board with black, white, and red chalk, 9 3/8 x 7 1/4 inches, c. 1960, unsigned.

RIM Q2 earnings beat expectations, people still buying PlayBooks
BlackBerry maker RIM has released its Q2 earnings reports on Thursday and while it shows that the company lost more than $235 million in the last 90 days it was much better than the markets expected, sending the company's shares up by 18 per cent.
In what continues to be a roller-coaster time for the Canadian company, Research In Motion has detailed that in the last 90 days it has sold 7.4m BB7 devices, and 130,000 PlayBook tablets. Both sales numbers are down on the previous quarter, but both numbers where above what analysts expected.
READ: BlackBerry 10 and the Alpha Dev B pictures and hands-on
The result means that BlackBerry will be in a stronger financial position than previously thought to launch BB10 at the start of the year, even though the company is predicting it will lose money again next quarter, as it continues to restructures itself.
"Despite the significant changes we are implementing across the organisation, our second quarter results demonstrate that RIM is progressing on its financial and operational commitments during this major transition," said Thorsten Heins, President and CEO.
"Subscribers grew to approximately 80 million global users, revenue grew sequentially from the first quarter, cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments increased by approximately $100 million to $2.3 billion, and carriers and developers are responding well to previews of our upcoming BlackBerry 10 platform.
"Make no mistake about it, we understand that we have much more work to do, but we are making the organisational changes to drive improvements across the company, our employees are committed and motivated, and BlackBerry 10 is on track to launch in the first calendar quarter of 2013."
A lot of the company's success is to do with strong sales in emerging markets such as Indonesia, Venezuela and South Africa. The US accounted for 22 per cent of sales, down from 25 per cent in the previous quarter, while the United Kingdom and Canada saw sales improve.
READ: BlackBerry 10 phones leak, see the new Qwerty BB 10 Bold
In a Q&A session on a conference call after the earnings announcement, Heins also confirmed the company hoped to have mid-tier BlackBerry 10 devices on the market by Autumn 2013, and possibly a low-tier budget device before the end of 2013.
That news is likely to be well received by shareholders wondering how quick the current user base will be able to move into the company's new operating system and phones that run it.
Heins also confirmed that the company would continue to support BB7 devices.

Lady Gaga Signs Off on Weird Al 'Born This Way' Parody
He initially blogged that she wouldn't allow him to mock the tune.
"Weird Al" Yankovic has mocked songs by everyone from Michael Jackson to Nirvana.
But he won't be able to poke fun at Lady Gaga.
He has blogged that he had asked her management team if he could cover her hit "Born This Way" with his tune "Perform This Way" (sample lyrics: "I might be wearin' Swiss cheese or maybe covered with bees / It doesn't mean I'm crazy – I perform this way").
"As with all my parodies, it would be respectful of the artist, while having a bit of fun with her larger-than-life image," he said he told her team.
Yankovic said that Gaga's camp responded by telling him that she needed to hear his completed track before giving him an answer.
In the end, she rejected it.
Even though his song parodies are legal under fair-use interpretations of the law, he said it his personal policy "to get the consent of the original artist before including my parodies on any album, so of course I will respect Gaga's wishes."
But he is hurt.
"I'm especially confused as to why she waited until I actually recorded the song (at her insistence!) before saying no," he bloged. "It's not like there were any surprises in the finished song that she couldn't have foreseen by, you know, READING THE LYRICS.
"I know this news is disappointing to many of you," he concluded in his post. "Believe me… nobody is more disappointed than I am."
Yankovic posted late Wednesday that Gaga's manager never forwarded along the song. "Even though we assumed that Gaga herself was the one making the decision (because, well, that's what we were TOLD), he apparently made the decision completely on his own, without any input from Gaga," he wrote. "He's sorry."
The song will go on his album and he said "all my proceeds from the song (and the MUSIC VIDEO… I can't wait…) will go to the Human Rights Campaign."

Pat Boone's Bad Dream Of A 'Black/White' Communist Becoming President
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 6/13/2014 11:45 am
Maybe it was all a dream! How else, Pat Boone wonders in his WorldNetDaily column today, could America not see that "a secret cabal of Communist manipulators" had trained a "young black/white college student, originally school in Indonesia" to be a cunning politician after getting him "admitted to Columbia and then Harvard"?
Boone writes that following a stint as a community organizer, this "young anti-American man" in "an astonishing coup, was 'elected' president of the United States" despite the "absence of a valid birth certificate."
The "audacious charlatan" governed with the help of his "fellow Marxists, socialists and Muslim activists," Boone writes.
I don't dream much, but when I do, it's usually dramatic – and memorable. Did you ever have a dream so vivid, so stark, that it seemed real, even after you woke up?
That's what happened to me last night. I had just finished reading Tom Fitton's electrifying book "The Corruption Chronicles," a factual, documented masterpiece. My dream was actually a nightmare, a horrifying, surreal vision of contemporary life in America that was so sickening and unbelievable that I woke up in a cold sweat. And the worst part is that I still, to this minute, can't decide if it was a dream – or real!
I dreamed that a spell was cast over the whole United States, affecting almost all of its people, especially those of voting age.
A secretive cabal of Communist manipulators, trained in the malevolent disciplines and Machiavellian methods of Saul Alinsky, had taken an interest in a young black/white college student, originally schooled in Indonesia, who'd sought out Marxist professors (as he revealed later in his own autobiographical book) at Occidental College.
In this young Marxist they felt they had a potential candidate for high elective office, first at the state and then possibly on the national level. He had a good mind, was glib and articulate and, according to a fellow Marxist at Occidental, was surprisingly angry. He was ready to foment a total overthrow of what he called "the colonial oppressor of Third World countries"!
This cabal had lots of money, so they got the young man admitted to Columbia and then Harvard, where he somehow was maneuvered briefly into the president's chair at the Harvard Law Review. He never wrote anything of record (except calling the Constitution "a flawed document") or distinguished himself in any way, but it looked good on a future resume.
Then, in my dream, this young anti-American man had brief jobs as a "community organizer" in Chicago, utilizing the disruptive, divisive and deceptive tactics he'd learned from Alinsky, and then went in a blinding scramble from state senator in Illinois to the U.S. Senate for a couple of low-profile, near invisible years … and then, in an astonishing coup, was "elected" president of the United States!
I say "elected" because the electoral process was so corrupted by another Marxist organization named ACORN that the outcome would always be questioned.
Four years went by, he was re-elected, and systematically went about wrecking the constitutional structure of the nation, piling up trillions of unpayable debt on the hapless taxpayers, bamboozling and intimidating both houses of Congress, shredding American influence all over the world, appointing fellow Marxists, socialists and Muslim activists to 33 "czarships" (unconstitutional regulators answerable only to him and not to Congress), and in countless ways overturning and abandoning the rule of law in the country.
At this point, I woke up trembling, in a cold sweat, furious but weeping for my country. Surely it couldn't be true; America could never let this happen! Our Congress would surely have acted long before an audacious charlatan could have literally taken over the government and bankrupted a nation, economically and morally! Surely they … surely the courts … surely the Constitution … surely the press … surely the millions of people on every level of American life would have risen up and … and … the smoking guns were everywhere, in plain sight, right out on the table. Any one of them would disqualify a man from the presidency! How many would it take?

The Real America
Is vastly different that what you read about in the American press or on Facebook or Twitter. Well, in most of the press, that is. There are still a few real reporters out there. Like Salena Zito:
: Since boarding a jetliner on Christmas night last year, this reporter has logged more than 8,600 miles in 21 states and has interviewed more than 1,200 people registered as or identifying with Democrats, all in an attempt to tell the stories of their pocketbooks, their families and their America.
Reality is like gravity: It can pull you down in an instant. From a distance, pundits and reporters hail President Barack Obama's accomplishments and the ideology of his first term. Yet many voters who supported him in 2008 now face strikingly different realities.
Kelly Foote, a waitress at the Moonlight Diner, a classic old-time eatery on Tower Road in Denver, said she had a home, a car and a savings account in 2008 but "lost everything. Every bad economic condition … converged at the same time, and by 2010 I had lost it all."
The 40-year-old said business dropped by more than half "and I just couldn't keep up. I tried juggling but, in the end, I had to surrender everything."
Foote has not given up "on the possibility of what I can achieve" but won't vote for Obama.
I like Zito's reporting. She is actually reporting what her interviewees are saying, not spinning. I've mentioned before how I am being surprised – rather often – at how many people are paying attention. Little wisecracks that indicate that they are not buying the media spin. Small comments that indicate Obama has a lot more problems than the press lets on.
People are looking around and seeing what Obamanomics is doing to them. I don't think they like it as much as the press says they do. More than 90% of people are refusing to participate in polls or simply not picking up the phone when pollsters call.
I'm betting that the 91% have a different story than the one being dictated by Obama's media arm. I agree with Zito, the Real America is different than the fictional one the media lives in.

Twitter, Inc. Twitter 2.1
It's free. Simple. And now there's more to love, except for one little unfortunate change. Twitter 2.1 has just hit the Mac App Store, adding support for multiple windows, autocompletion of usernames and hashtags, and new font size preferences. All you'll have to accept is the huge, ugly gray bar that's been added to the top of the app's window, which moves the close, maximize and minimize buttons further away from the icons, and provides an explanation ("Timeline," "Profile," "Search") for where you are in the menu system.
Notably, the multiple window support limits you to a single multi-purpose window with the full set of icons, enabling you to open additional windows that are dedicated to one thing—say, a single account's timeline, or profile panes. Other changes to version 2.1 include small user profile and message conversation UI tweaks, improved display of t.co shortening links, support for AppleScripts, a pretty cool developer console, and Sticky Live Stream preferences. The new version of Twitter remains free, and just as handy as the prior release, which we've been enjoying for some time now.
