Google announced on Wednesday its next generation Nexus 7 tablet PC, to be available July 30. The $229 Nexus 7 features a 1920×1200 resolution display, which has a pixel density of 323ppi, making it the tablet with the highest pixel density panel in the market, passing the Nexus 10, which has a pixel density of 299 ppi.
Pixel density and high resolution displays have become a new metric in the tablet market to measure viewing quality. As the market shifts towards smaller screen devices, higher resolutions will become more important. Tablets with screen sizes 8.9" and smaller will make up 59% of the market, a big change from last year, when 61% of tablets shipped had 9" and larger displays. However, higher resolutions and pixel densities are not necessarily valued for the improving picture quality—at a certain point as pixel densities increase most consumers will not be able to appreciate the improvements—but rather for the increasing amount of content that can be displayed on smaller screens.
Source: Tablet Quarterly Report
We expect the share of tablets with high pixel density panels to gradually increase over time, but for 2013, over 70% of tablets shipped will have panels with under 200 ppi. As prices for higher resolution panels decline, and as high definition content increases, the value and need for higher density panels will increase. By 2015 we expect over 50% of tablet PCs shipped will have panels with greater than 200 ppi, with nearly 25% of tablet PCs shipped having panels with greater than 300 ppi.
The Nexus 7 is able to support 323ppi because it uses a low temperature polysilicon display made by Japan Display —the first tablet in the market to do so. Supply chain indications point to LTPS being considered for the iPad mini with Retina Display, which is expected to go into mass production in Q1'14 with a 7.9", 2048×1536 resolution, 326 ppi screen.

News PhotoCar,City,Driverless Car,Driverless Transport,Finance,Google,Horizontal,Street,USA,Washington DCPhotographer KAREN BLEIERCollection: AFP 2012 AFPThe Google self-driving car maneuvers through the streets of in Washington, DC May 14, 2012. The system on a modified Toyota Prius combines information gathered from Google Street View with artificial intelligence software that combines input from video cameras inside the car, a LIDAR sensor on top of the vehicle, radar sensors on the front of the vehicle and a position sensor attached to one of the rear wheels that helps locate the car's position on the map. As of 2010, Google has tested several vehicles equipped with the system, driving 1,609 kilometres (1,000 mi) without any human intervention, in addition to 225,308 kilometres (140,000 mi) with occasional human intervention. Google expects that the increased accuracy of its automated driving system could help reduce the number of traffic-related injuries and deaths, while using energy and space on roadways more efficiently.

hello gents,
me and a few guys are starting a little rip circle, and being the big techie, i've been placed in charge of finding our standard lame switches. we're using Lame3.90.2-ICL EXE. i think that's the best lame version out there. we were using --alt -preset cbr 192, but it's joint stereo. we need full stereo. i'd love suggestions, especially if anyone knows which switches some ripping groups use, because their files always sound boss. this is my latest switch test, any thoughts?
-b 192 -h -m s --nspsytune --athtype 2 --lowpass 16 --ns-bass -8 --scale 0.93
not exatly sure if that's the best switch, it sounds pretty good.
thanks in advance for all your help!

spicymeatball: I just checked your full list of posts, seeing you had only 7...
And it turns out that a year ago you were doing the same kind of questions...
The answer has not changed:
Joint-stereo in LAME is definitely better than Stereo. It is perfect. No problems at all. Period. Whoever tells you that Joint-Stereo is a problem in LAME has no idea what he is talking about, has not tested, and should not be considered reliable. Are you going to believe him or the guys that develop LAME? Who do you think knows better?
The idea that Joint-Stereo is bad started because years ago, there was a commercial encoder that had a major bug in the way it did Joint-Stereo. But that's not LAME, and it has nothing to do with it.
If you want the best quality at bitrates around 192, use just --alt-preset standard nothing else, nothing more. Yes, it is Joint-Stereo, yes, it is VBR, and yes, it is currently the BEST for that bitrate range in MP3. Those long command lines will only screw things up.
If you need to use CBR (why???), then the best is --alt-preset cbr 192. As above, nothing else, nothing more.
And all of this with Lame 3.90.2, nothing else, nothing more.

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
"It's like everything has gone fast forward, but it's not remotely scary. It just feels 100 per cent right, which is very different for me because I am the world's most indecisive person. I will ask everybody's opinion on everything, whereas I am totally sure about this."
And Catherine adds that she knew almost immediately after meeting Tom that he was the man for her. "People say that when you meet the right man you know. But I never ever believed that. I thought, 'No, you need to get to know someone.' But after three months of being with Tom I knew he was absolutely The One. And it's the most amazing feeling."
And she says she always wanted to be a mother. "I have felt strongly that being a mother is something I am supposed to do and when I met Tom I absolutely knew that he was the right person. It feels like the right time," she explained. To read more of the interview with Catherine, pick up the latest issue of HELLO!.

Non Solo Pasta is a popular chic Italian cafe and restaurant in Docklands and has won the Age Good Food Under $30 award for best pizza. Traditional Italian style pizza at its best. Non Solo Pasta has one of the most compelling vibes in Docklands and is a great place to dine and meet up with people. Come here for Friday lunch and you may have to wait for a table.
Non Solo Pasta has that Italian air about it and the fit out is modern and spacious. The sunlight streams through the large windows and you can sit back and enjoy a wide ranging menu to suit all tastes.
The hero here is the pizza, with Italian styles such as Gamberi, Rustica, Carbonara and of course Margherita. It's no surprise the pizza is great here given their other pizzeria +39 in Little Bourke St - a favourite of mine. Pizzas made in the Italian tradition with excellent slightly chewy dough, quality ingredients and sauce, but not overcrowded with too much ingredients. It is the Bunga Bunga pizza that caught the eye of The Age Good Food Under $30 with its thin base and winning toppings of berkshire pork sausage, fior de latte, porcini mushrooms, parmesan and parsley.
I found this to be one of the best pizzas in Melbourne with the philosophy of "less is more." Quality ingredients with perfect crispy base in the Italian style.
Or check out the Pasta dishes and exotic salads. Thr Gnocchetti Burata features Giorgio's Burrata (mozzarella & cream), cherry tomato & basil in a slow cooked Napoli sauce. Beautiful presentation and delish.
Desserts are allluring including the Sweet Nutella Pizza.
I've found Non Solo Pasta a superb destination for breakfast and lunch during my work tenure in Docklands. Choose from the many tasty treats in the cabinet. I'm a big fan of Piadina's and Panino's. A Pancetto Panina is the perfect start to the day with free range egg and pancetta. And the breads here are excellent, unlike a few other cafes in the precinct.
Coffee is important in an office precinct and Non Solo Pasta delivers on strong Italian coffee. The testimony to their coffee is that despite the plethora of coffee houses in Docklands, there is a steady line up for coffee at Non Solo Pasta every morning.
The fit out includes a large board with menu items, a large message of "pizza is sexy" (so true), high ceilings and funky lighting, Italian products on display shelves, attractive large cabinets with treats, retro white wall tiles, plants in pots mounted on the wall, and a trendy concrete floor. Not to mention a cool dining area outdoors.
Service is excellent and there are Italian staff who are knowledgeable and engaging characters.
I'm enthusiastic about Non Solo Pasta and having visited most of the restaurants and cafes in the Docklands precinct this one was a keeper.

Texas lottery narrowly survives
House votes to reauthorize commission
AUSTIN — Lawmakers came to the brink of striking down the Texas State Lottery Commission but reconsidered when faced with losing the lottery's $1.1 billion contribution to public education.
During a floor session Tuesday, the House voted against continuing the state lottery, with its opponents characterizing it as a tax on the poor. By a second vote, enough minds had changed under the prospect of losing its revenue that the lottery survived.
The Texas Lottery Commission must go through a process called "sunset" in which lawmakers decide if the agency should continue. A bill to allow the lottery commission to continue went to the floor Tuesday.
In the first vote, the bill, HB 2197 from Rep. Rafael Anchia, D-Dallas, died 65-81. The later vote, for the second reading, was 91-53 in favor of continuing the lottery commission. The bill will need to pass a third, usually perfunctory, reading before it goes to the Senate.
"I was making a statement that I do not support, basically, a tax on the poor," said Rep. Drew Darby, R-San Angelo, explaining his first-round vote against continuing the commission. For his second vote, however, he said he had to "go about the business of protecting the budget," so he voted in favor of continuing the lottery, he said. Darby is a member of the House's budget-writing committee, and serves as chairman of a subcommittee for that body.
A vote against continuing the commission would effectively take the lottery out of operation because it wouldn't have an administrator.
Lawmakers broke for more than an hour after the first vote and came back midafternoon. During the break, the Texas Republican House Caucus called a meeting and explained the shape of the budget if the lottery were deep-sixed. Another hour after the House reconvened, a second vote saved the lottery.
Overall, about $2.2 billion would be needed to replace revenue from the lottery for education in the two-year state budget, said Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston.
"That is a huge funding piece," said Rep. Susan King, R-Abilene. She also had started out with a vote against the lottery bill, then changed her vote. She also attended the Republican caucus meeting, she said.
King said lawmakers who voted against the bill didn't want the state to rely on that method of financing.
The vote against the sunset bill seemed to throw representatives into confusion.
"I think it was totally unexpected, quite frankly," King said.
Rep. James Frank, R-Wichita Falls, voted both times against the lottery.
The freshman representative said the state-run lottery doesn't make sense to him, allowing the state to implement a fiscal program that another business wouldn't be allowed to use.
"I don't think it's the proper role of government," Frank said, calling the lottery a "regressive, voluntary tax."
The Texas Republican Party platform opposes the lottery.
"We oppose gambling and gambling expansion as a means of financing government," the 2012 platform states. "We recognize the failure of the lottery as a funding source for education and that it is now known to be a regressive tax on the poor."
Texas passed a constitutional amendment in 1991 to create a state lottery. The Legislature created the Texas Lottery Commission to run it in 1993. The commission also oversees charitable bingo.

Touchscreen phones have changed the way we use use handsets forever. Read our guide to touchscreen technology for a simple guide.
Touchscreen phones do away with traditional, physical keypads. They allow the user to operate the phone using a touch-sensitive display that responds to taps, swipes and other gestures you can make with your fingers. Some touchscreen phones can also be operated by a stylus, which combined with handwriting recognition software makes them brilliant for taking notes and annotating.
Touchscreen or physical keypad?
Since featuring on the first-generation iPhone, touchscreens have been rapidly adopted by all the major manufacturers now offering a host of touchscreen phones. However, whether you need a touchscreen or a phone with a physical keypad will depend on how comfortable you are using a touch-sensitive display.
Some people feel more comfortable with physical keys to press and find them better for typing messages and writing emails. However, just as many people report that using a touchscreen is more intuitive and makes accessing features easier.
There is also a new wave of phones that combine a physical QWERTY keyboard with a touchscreen display, meaning you can get the best of both interfaces. Simply use the touchscreen for calls, games and other interactive features, then switch to the physical keyboard when you're composing an email or text message.
What types of touchscreen phones are there?
Although not a feature of all touchscreen phones, some models employ haptic technology. This provides users with a satisfying vibration from touch inputs so that they know when a command has registered.
Other advanced touchscreen handsets, such as iPhones, offer users a feature called multi-touch. Resistive touchscreens, mainly featured on older or cheaper handsets, are capable of registering only a single point of contact, meaning one touch at a time. However a capacitive touchscreen phone registers several points of contact simultaneously, allowing users to pinch the screen to zoom in on a map, or spread their fingers to enlarge pictures or a web page.
Although multi-touch started with the iPhone, it has now spread to other high-end handsets, including those that use Google's Android operating system and smartphones that run on Windows Phone. Some BlackBerrys also now support multi-touch touchscreens.
The advent of multi-touch touchscreens is regarded by many as nothing short of revolutionary. In fact, so game-changing is the interface deemed to be that it has been compared by some industry experts to the arrival of the mouse for home computers back in the 1980s.
Touchscreen phones and handwriting recognition
In order to take advantage of this great feature, handsets are supplied with a special stylus (like an electronic pen) which allows users to write directly onto the screen. The hand-writing recognition software installed in the phone then translates the movements into text. This is a great feature for when you're out and about and need to pen memos and take impromptu notes.
Why have people taken to touchscreen phones so quickly?
The majority of people have adopted touchscreen mobiles because they find them easier to use over older models. However, another reason for touchscreen phones' amazing popularity is that because the handset doesn't need extra room for a physical keypad, the screen is much larger than standard phones. This makes a touchscreen mobile phone simply excellent for watching videos and movies on your handset and allows users to enjoy a much more satisfying mobile web browsing experience.
Some of the latest touchscreen handsets, such as those from Apple, Samsung, LG and HTC, feature richly colourful screens over 4-inches in size. It is precisely these handsets that are driving the massive growth in consumers' enjoyment of portable media on mobile phones.
The future of touchscreen technology
Touchscreen user interfaces are increasingly spreading beyond mobile phones and into newer devices and form factors. Apple's iPad, for instance, employs the same multi-touch technology that features on the iPhone, and there are many internet tablets also in the market featuring touchscreen panels.
Many experts predict that touchscreens will one day replace standard keyboards in laptops and even PCs.

Keith Richards Discusses The Rolling Stones' Latest Album in 1994 Guitar World Interview
Keith Richards Discusses The Rolling Stones' Latest Album in 1994 Guitar World Interview
In this 1994 Guitar World interview, Keith Richards has his mojo working full-throttle on The Rolling Stones' steamy comeback album, Voodoo Lounge.
Related Content
Was Don Was a help in that direction?
Yeah, Don was a great help in encouraging that extra thing; "O.K., Let's try it. Why not?" We've very rarely had producers, you know. Producers come to you, like gurus; you're not supposed to find them, they find you. Not that one ever found me, I must say. [laughs]
Anyway, to me, working with Don was very reminiscent of working with Jimmy Miller, and you can't ask for better than that. He's also a musician and is not only respected by the band for the technical end of doing the job, but he has a very natural feel with the guys. There wasn't this impression that somebody here is producing the Rolling Stones; you're making a record with him.
That's an important barrier to break down with the Rolling Stones; they can sense when somebody is thinking, "Oh, it's THE STONES" -- that slight unsureness and intimidation. What we look for is someone who knows what they're going for. Don did that. He was not impressed with any star crap, which is what's most important to us at that point.
Let's get down to some brass machine heads on this album. What's the "mystery guitar" you play on "You Got Me Rocking."
Aha! The mystery guitar will no longer be a mystery if l tell you. [laughs] What the hell... It's a solidbody dobro, but I play it with a stick -- just a little stick I picked out of Ronnie's garden. It's just an interesting percussion effect.
Were the guitar parts mapped out during the writing process?
No, not really. The songs kind of suggest themselves, and the arrangements and the parts almost flow from the moment you lay down a bare bones of songs and throw it around amongst the guys. A shape kind of takes place that's natural. I always try to grab that, especially when we're cutting the rhythm tracks.
You really just keep an ear and an eye on everything that's being played and you remember it. What I don't like to do when making record within bands -- especially small bands, rhythm sections like the Rolling Stones -- is to try to impose anything. If you tell somebody how to play something, you've automatically got a certain stiffness into it: "Oh, he wants me to play that." I'd rather have them do it as they feel. The less you talk about it, the better it is. When you get a good playback, nobody says anything; you just nod at each other.
For instance?
Probably "Love is Strong." That's the band; sounds like 'em every time. We didn't have to fiddle with it at all. You just try to find what feels natural for the song … Just lay the guitars down and do as many parts as you like. In the mix you can use a bar of it here, a bar of it there. When you're listening to basic tracks, you're listening to what's not there and for what should be there. You're following some little picture in your mind or in the ear that says "That's funky, but it needs something that rings a little bit at the top."
If you've got the songs, you can overdub as much as you like. You have to be judicious in your editing and mixing. It's what Ronnie and I call the "ancient art of weaving."
Don Was likes to refer to you as a pitcher, someone who tosses out ideas and lets the band bounce them around. Is that a fair assessment?
Working with drummers like Charlie Watts or Steve Jordan and Charlie Drayton in the Winos, that's all I need. I can throw riffs at them all night; when the drums catch on, I know there's something there. My strength, probably, is I can recognize a song in a few bars. I spot the embryo there. I've been writing since so early on that the antenna is really well-developed. If I pick up an instrument, it'll come to me. I don't go searching. I don't have that God aspect about it. I prefer to think of myself as an antenna. There's only one song, and Adam and Eve wrote it. The rest is a variation on a theme.
There's actually a ZZ Top-quality to "You Got Me Rocking."
There could be. I haven't heard ZZ Top for a long time. Apart from the fact that we both play rock and roll, the comparison wouldn't occur to me, but you never know. We all cross over. I know that to me the rhythm has a bit of Motown, like "Goin' to a Go-Go," [Smokey Robinson And The Miracles] a little funky. I was looking for a swampy rhythm, something punchy. Wrote the thing on piano and then transferred it over to guitar.
There's a lot of B-bender guitar on the album. A new fetish?
I wouldn't call it new. [Late country guitarist] Clarence White invented the thing many years ago. It's a guitar with a special job on it: you pull on the neck and the B string bends and gives you a pedal steel effect. Jimmy Page uses it quite a lot and Ronnie works on it. I use it now and again. It gives you a nice guitar feel, a little pedal steel but also a little slide. It's another tone to play with. The only trouble is, if you play it... the whole thing goes out of tune. You have to do a little training to play it.
Has your musical relationship with Ronnie changed markedly since 1975?
Ronnie and I, we've had a ball for the last year. He says, "Thanks for some good songs to play," and I'll say, "Thanks for being there to play them with." There's nothing you can put your finger on and say, "We did this at his time and that's why it's better." It's just about playing with somebody, and every time you get down to playing you're testing each other more. Ronnie Wood is an amazingly sympathetic player; he'll get to the root of what you're on almost straight away.
You even managed to get Pierre [de Beauport] a credit on the album.
He works for me; he's my guitar man, mechanic, and a damn good player, too. He happened to be the only guy around that night, and he's been with me from when I first came across that song. We cut the first demo of it together, so I thought he deserved to have his mark on it. As we were finishing the record, I said, "Pierre, by the way, your acoustic's on." He said, "You've got to be kidding!" I told him, "No, go for it."
What were your considerations for the show this year?
I'm looking to balance it up. As you can imagine, the show will kind of change and incorporate more of the newer numbers after the record comes out and we get some feedback. I'd like to do as many of them as we can. First off, the songs are made for the stage -- they're dying to be played live. Also for this show, I'm not trying to get too stuck to a set list. In the past we've had one song changing here, one song changing there, which is almost the same. But it's difficult to change a lot on these great big tours, with everyone locked into their computerized lights. We try to rehearse far more stuff than we actually need so we can vary the show from night to night if we want to.
The other thing is I don't want to repeat the big band revue sort of feel of Steel Wheels. -- I want to strip it down a bit. I want to discard that revue feel; the five Stones and 11 other people. We, the band can do a lot more within ourselves.
You enjoy referring to the Stones as a juggernaut, which is pretty accurate. Do you ever wish you play smaller venues?
That's heaven and hell together, and you can't have it all. We have to work within the Stones' standards. I mean, it would be great; this band can play a club better than any in the world, probably. That's where it sounds best. But it's gotten this big, and you've got to deal with it.
Plus, it's very unlikely anyone will go for it -- like the police or the promoters. They say, "I don't want my club ruined." Or if everyone else wants it the police department says, "We can't allow the Rolling Stones to play in our High Street in a little club. There'll be a riot." There's so many imponderable things to get through. Unless it's a one-off... you're fighting against nature.
That doesn't mean we won't try, though. [laughs]
Have you noticed the strong regard for the Stones that exists within younger bands now? The last time there was this kind of influx of new music, it was 1977 and everybody slammed you.
It's probably more just a matter of fashion and timing. In the Seventies, those guys who were coming up were 10 years younger than us. We were like their big brothers who used to rub their noses in it, so there was a natural rejection and rebellion there. Now it goes around full circle; maybe it's just because we're still here. But I know loads of guys in new bands, a lot of kids on the road who are players. There's a lot of 15, 14-year-old boys out there with their Fenders in their hands, which is great. There are worse things you can do in this life than that.
Any thoughts on Kurt Cobain?
I wasn't really too aware; I didn't even know the name of the lead singer of Nirvana until that thing in Rome went down. I heard that and thought, "He was lucky this time." I was just astonished that two weeks later…no one was keeping an eye on him and just let him buy a shotgun. Mick summed it up well; he said it was inevitable. It would have taken a few years longer to do if he hadn't been famous. It just wasn't the right job for someone of that temperament. People say: "What's so tough about being the lead singer?" But if life was so difficult for him there, it would be appalling anywhere else, wouldn't it?
When you were that deep into drugs, did you have people keeping a better eye on you?
Yeah, somewhat. But they also knew I wasn't looking to top myself. There's a difference between scratching your ass and tearing it to bits, you know.
So what is a Voodoo Lounge?

I was watching a statistics video (I have to prepare for a class in the Fall), and this interesting study was featured. I can't get the full article, but here is the abstract.
Basically, the researcher compared two groups of children, who drew pictures. The pictures were evaluated in terms of creative content by independent experts.
One group was promised rewards if they made the best picture. The other group was just promised a raffle after the pictures were done. The results: the group that was promised a reward showed some technical improvements, but the group that was not promised a reward produced more creative pictures. The conclusion was that extrinsic motivation can interfere with creativity, and intrinsic motivation is more important.
Obviously, this is just one study, although I skimmed some others that seemed to reach similar conclusions, and with children as subjects, but I found it very interesting in terms of it's implication to the field of publishing, which is so highly competitive.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
Btw - I don't mean this to be an anti-publishing post. I'm just interested in what works best for writers - others and myself.

With crunch time on them, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys and girls track and field teams are hoping they're peaking at the right time.
And for the most part, they seemed to at their final meet of the regular season, Friday's Los Alamos Invitational.
Making their second home appearance of the regular season before they host this week's District 2AAAA championship meet, the Hilltoppers won both the boys and girls team contests by sizeable margins. In all, 10 teams competed in Friday's meet.
The Hilltopper girls nearly doubled-up on the St. Michael's Horsemen with their score of 201.5 points, winning 10 events including all four relay events.
Los Alamos' boys, meanwhile, came close to doubling their nearest opponents score. They finished with 185 points but did have one big miscue Friday that they will have to correct going into the postseason.
The Hilltopper 400 meter relay team was disqualified after a botched third handoff. Los Alamos had a mediocre first handoff as well, but would've still won the event had the final handoff been executed legally.
Los Alamos has high hopes of wining the event at the Class AAAA state championship meet — the 400 relay team has posted the best time in the state to date with its 42.90 — and believes it has the horses to accomplish that and more.

ThereŌĆÖs a glimmer of hope in an otherwise disappointing poll published by Harvard last week. Young people donŌĆÖt trust government, it says ŌĆö to a greater degree than ever.
The glimmer of hope is that the mood plays into the most fundamental conservative message: DonŌĆÖt trust government ŌĆö trust yourselves.
ŌĆ£A new poll surveying young AmericansŌĆÖ political attitudes released by Harvard UniversityŌĆÖs Institute of Politics Tuesday found millennials have less trust in government than ever before,ŌĆØ Business Insider reported. ŌĆ£HarvardŌĆÖs poll showed millennials, which the pollsters defined as people aged 18 to 29, have lost trust in a variety of different major public institutions including the President, the military, Congress, the Supreme Court, and the federal government as a whole. Of all the institutions tracked by the poll, the President and the military lost the most trust among young Americans with a seven point drop.ŌĆØ
There are clear political implications to the poll, and Harvard recognizes those.
ŌĆ£The historically low levels of trust in the White House and the government at large werenŌĆÖt the only bits of bad news in the poll for President Barack Obama and other Democrats,ŌĆØ the magazine reported. ŌĆ£In general, the poll showed millennials arenŌĆÖt excited about this yearŌĆÖs midterm elections. ŌĆśCurrently, less than one-in-four (24 percent) young Americans under the age of 30 say that they will ŌĆśdefinitely be voting,ŌĆÖ in the upcoming midterm elections for Congress, a sharp decrease of 10 percentage points since the Fall,ŌĆÖ the pollsters said. ŌĆśDuring a similar time of the year in 2010, 31 percent of 18- to 29- year olds reported that they would definitely vote.ŌĆÖ However, the poll found young conservatives are more likely to vote this year than liberal millennials.ŌĆØ
ThatŌĆÖs good news for conservatives, but it shouldnŌĆÖt ever be just about getting out the vote. Winning elections includes winning hearts.
And these are clearly hearts ready to be won by a conservative message. But the Republican Party is having trouble framing such a message.
ŌĆ£After steep losses in the 2012 election, there was broad agreement within the Republican Party that its biggest challenge was bridging the divide with key voter groups ŌĆö minorities, women and young voters ŌĆö who threw their support behind President Obama, giving him the crucial margin in battleground states,ŌĆØ the L.A. Times observed recently. ŌĆ£But a year after the GOPŌĆÖs so-called autopsy report, the speeches from the partyŌĆÖs leading voices at the Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC, reflected a complex reality: Republicans are still searching for a unified message to reach those groups.ŌĆØ
It neednŌĆÖt be an exhaustive search, because the answer for young people is simple: You may not trust government, but you can trust yourselves. Conservatism offers the freedom to try, rather than a guaranteed result.
The young will find such a message appealing. They grew up in an ŌĆ£everyone gets a trophyŌĆØ world. TheyŌĆÖre ready for trophies to mean something now.
The term ŌĆ£self-relianceŌĆØ lost cachet during the Obama era. But itŌĆÖs a term that young voters indicate theyŌĆÖre ready to hear ŌĆö and respond to.

Starting Problems
I just purchased a 2000 F-250 7.3 about a month ago. When the dealer delivered the truck everything was excellent, no problems. The truck sat in the driveway over night and it would not start the next day, would turn over just would not spin fast enough to crank. Had not signed the paper work so I had the dealer come get the truck. Got it back to the dealership and when they rolled it off the rollback it started right up.
No biggie, noticed the orginal owner had replaced the batteries with smaller CCA than suggested so I replaced with two brand new Interstate batteries. No more problems, rights? Wrong! If the truck sits for more than a day it does not want to start, figured it was a battery drain, charged them up over night and started right up again. Tested for a battery drain, nothing more than regular draw for regular up keep.
Same thing happened again, again put the chargers on the batteries and charged them up, this time it still would not start. Called the dealer, they said they spoke to the orginal owner and if you put the vehicle in neutral and push it back about three feet it would start. Tried that and started right up. I checked the batteries they are fine.
My son has used my truck on another occassion and it would not start, said he pushed it backwards about 3 feet and fired right up.
Sounds like its just not getting enough RPMs to crank it, any ideas on what is going on here?
First, clarify for me what "would turn over just would not spin fast enough to crank" means???
To me, "spinning" and "cranking" are the same thing. Do you call running "cranking"?
If it's Not starting, but still turning over on the starter, it has nothing to do with putting it in Neutral (the whole "roll-back" thing can only be a coincidence, it's moving to N that would satisfy the NeutralSafetySw)
What you're describing makes no sense to me (their solution) but you Do need to spin at Least 100rpm for the PCM to fire the injectors (normal is 150/200) so, with new batteries, could the starter or cables be bad?
Sorry for the confusion.
It will crank but not start. When i put the new batteries in, there was a noticeable difference in the cranking RPM's and it started right up.
Since then there have been two other occasions were it was not get the cranking RPM's to start. I figured the rolling it backwards in neutral was a fluke but it has worked on three different occasions.For whatever reason the cranking RPM's speed up and it starts.
All I can figure is the battery cables need replacing or the starter is dragging.
I have waited this long to post the problem thinking I was either crazy or just missing something that should be obvious.
Could the cables be the problem?
I drove my truck most of the day yesterday. Pulled my tractor to a small bushoging job and back. Stop and started the truck several times with no starting problems.
Stopped by another location and was there for about an hour. Went back out to leave and my truck would not start. It would crank, but not start, checked all the fuses, everything fine. Left the truck and waited for my son to get home so he could tow it home. Went back to tow the home around 9 p.m... Before we towed it home I gave it one last try to start it, same result, the truck would crank but not start. Hooked it all up and started towing it to the house. Got about half a mile down the road and figured i would give it another try. Sure enough it fired right up, ran like a champ all the way home. Got home and turned it off and started it back up three different times.
Any ideas whats going on here?
Dude, that thing is possessed!
Seriously, this is everybody's nightmare scenario, you don't know if you can trust your truck and can't put together a logical reason for the How & When.
You have an intermittent issue that doesn't happen often enough or reliability enough for testing and what most people start to do is to throw parts at the problem. I encourage you NOT to do this! Here's what I would do if I were you. I know this isn't cheap, but in the Long Run you'll be much better off - Honest.
Invest in an AutoEnginuity Scanner (hopefully you have an old laptop or something kicking around - it doesn't take much) for @$350. Learn how to scan your sensors and take it with you where ever you go with the truck. Whenever it happens again, you'll be in a position to find out what's keeping the truck from starting. It's probably something stupid, a connector or something, but you'll be able to see what's Not doing what it's supposed to do When this happens.
PLUS, you'll have a really great diagnostic tool for the future
Thanks for the help. That's exactly what I was about to do, been pricing parts all day. Luckily haven't bought any yet, even called the local dealer to get a price on their hourly fee .. I'll definitely invest in a scanner, may save me money in the long run, any suggestions on where to purchase one from?
Thanks again for the help.
Been cranking the truck everyday trying to get it to act up. No issues, cranked every day, until I needed to go somewhere today. Jumped in and no start!
It sounds like the cranking RPM's are low. Could the starter have intermediate issues that would cause this? I checked the batteries and they both showing good charge.
This truck is a 2000 with 27,000 miles on it. I have only owned it for around 2 months.
If I had any hair I would have pulled it out by now!
Checked the HPOP this morning just to say I did. Oil is up to the top.
Second, "showing a good charge" ? What the heck does THAT mean? There is only ONE way to test these batteries. That is, charge them up fully, have them individually Load Tested at a High Rate (not those dinky 100A load testers the Auto Parts Stores use on their ricers). You need them loaded at 250-300Amps, these are high capacity batteries facing a Huge load when trying to turn over a high compression diesel while running a 150A draw from the Glow Plugs...
If the batteries aren't up to spinning the motor fast enough, and when the Cold Weather arrives, they'll become useless, then you need to know now. The Load Test will tell you that.
In either case, this is the time to go over all the battery connections anyway. Clean, Scrape, Grease & Tighten ALL the battery cables, BOTH sides. Then, if all else is good, you might consider the Starter or even the Relay maybe...
I have similar issue on 99 7.3. Repaired oil leak on pedestal and gutted EBPV; washing out oil from valley and truck quit, like someone turned off the key. Has started a couple of time since, usually for only few seconds, once started and ran normal. Buzz tested injectors and system, no codes. Replaced IPR, IPS, and CPS. Installing oil/fuel pressure gauges today.
Yours sounds alot like mine, will post what if find later today after verifying pressures and reconnecting scanner.

LYONS FALLS It was a big no for voters in Lyons Falls, as 129 taxpayers and residents turned out for a public referendum on a proposed sewer improvement project.
Including absentee ballots, 96 voters were against the project, while 33 voted in favor.
Voting yes would have authorized the issuance of serial bonds in an amount not to exceed $3.95 million for improvements to the wastewater treatment facility, expanding the collection system in the village to provide services to village residents not now served at an estimated $250 increase to residents annually.
I am very disappointed that were not going to be able to take advantage of this zero percent interest loan and this incredible opportunity, Mayor Catherine L. Liendecker said via phone after ballots were tallied late Tuesday.
But least we have a completed engineer report in case something else comes up in the near future, she said.

|Life In The Fast Lane.....
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Thursday, 24 October 2013 16:10
Remember that song by the Eagles. Life in the fast lane, surely makes you lose your mind; life in the fast lane, everything all the time. Well, that chrous best describes the Watauga High football team the last two weeks. The Pioneers have scored enough points and racked up enough yardage during that stretch to beat
the top two teams in the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference. And instead of being in first place, the Pioneers find themselves in fourth place, mired in a two-game losing streak, and trailing Freedom (which beat WHs in overtime on October 18) and Hibriten (which held on to beat WHS 45-44 last Friday night at Jack Groce Stadium) by two games with three games left to play.

Social Security spent $300M on 'IT boondoggle'
WASHINGTON (AP) — Six years ago the Social Security Administration embarked on an aggressive plan to replace outdated computer systems overwhelmed by a growing flood of disability claims.
Nearly $300 million later, an internal report says the new system is nowhere near ready and agency officials are struggling to salvage a project racked by delays and mismanagement.
The project is still in the testing phase, and the agency can't say when it will be completed or how much it will cost.
In the meantime, people filing for disability claims face long delays at nearly every step of the process — delays that were supposed to be reduced by the new processing system.
The report was commissioned by Social Security to save the project. It was done by consulting firm McKinsey & Co.

Who's On The Mat
From The Heart
A friend gave me the Manduka Black Mat Pro about 8 years ago, and it has been my favorite mat ever since. My Manduka supports my practice from the ground-up, which gives me the freedom to soar to new heights each time I place my feet at the top of my mat. My Manduka mat holds the energy of my devotion, love, commitment, and every daily discovery from my practice. There is no other mat out there that offers the same kind of support. I love my Manduka!

(bisons.com) - The resurgence of Ricky Romero continued Wednesday night at Coca-Cola Field.
Coming off three straight encouraging starts, he had another against the Gwinnett Braves. The southpaw was in line for his first win in eight total starts for the Buffalo Bisons until the Braves rallied for a pair in the ninth to come back and defeat the Herd, 5-4.
Even on a night he admittedly didn't have his best stuff and velocity, Romero adjusted his strategy and found a way to allow just one unearned run in seven innings of work.
"There's going to be those games where you have it and when you don't have it, and you have to battle with what you have," Romero said. "That's what I did tonight."
"Ricky was outstanding," manager Marty Brown said. "We're seeing him pitch (Wednesday) without his best stuff. That tells you right there, he's making huge strides and getting back to where he needs to be.
"He had to figure out a different game plan after the first inning, and he did it. So I was very, very pleased with what I saw in Ricky."
Exiting with a 4-1 lead after the seventh, the Herd's bullpen was unable to get that elusive initial win as Bison for Romero. A two-run home run in the eighth by Joey Terdoslavich set up a wild top of the ninth.
Buffalo was clinging to a one-run lead with runners on first and second and two outs in the final inning. The lead was shortly after gone on a bloop single to center by Todd Cunningham.
Anthony Gose bobbled the ball when trying to pick the hit up, allowing Jose Yepez to score. He then lofted the ball into the infield. That's when an alert and speedy Jose Constanza, who made it to third on the bobble, took off for home and reached without a throw to give the Braves the lead.
John Stilson pitched the ninth and took the loss and blown save.
Working seven innings was the most Romero has thrown for the Herd, and he added six strikeouts - his previous high this year was three in each of the last three starts - while walking three. He threw only 87 pitches, 53 for strikes, and aside from a 22-pitch second, didn't throw more than 14 pitches in any inning, and tossed only eighth and then six in his final two.
Not having the desired speed, Romero was forced to change his approach to hitters. And, as he has the last three starts, which includes six innings of two-hit, scoreless ball in his previous outing last Friday in Pawtucket, the 2011 All-Star for the Toronto Blue Jays attacked hitters.
Romero noted he wasn't afraid to go at hitters, a mindset that has seemed to turn his season around and lower his ERA from the teens less than a month ago, to 6.69 now.
"Maybe the velocity wasn't there but I had a lot of good sinking action," Romero said. "I think the biggest thing in all of this is learning how to pitch. You can never stop learning in this game and you take a little off and you add a little more whenever you need to. My bread and butter has always been, let the defense work, and that's what I did."
While Romero was in the game, the Braves didn't register multiple hits in any frame. They were able to end Romero's scoreless innings streak at 10 innings in the fifth, though the run was unearned due to a passed ball early in the inning. In Romero's last23 innings, 20 of them have been scoreless.
Romero is beginning to just worry about one pitch at a time to get the best results possible. He knows its cliché, but it's apparent that it is functioning.
"Just staying in the moment and not trying to jump ahead and start thinking 'What's going to happen next?'" Romero said. "Right now, it's just this pitch and throwing at the hitter."
Romero had help in establishing himself in the game. The Bisons were able to get to Braves' starter Yohan Flande and build a 4-0 lead.
Mauro Gomez extended the Herd's lead to 2-0 in the bottom of the third, lifting a 1-2 offering over the fence in left-center. The solo shot was his 19th big-fly of the season, but only the fourth the International League's home run leader has hit at Coca-Cola Field.
The Bisons added even more to the lead later in the inning. Jim Negrych doubled in Moises Sierra and Sean Ochinko plated Negrych when he reached on an error to cap off a three-run inning.
Gomez, the International League's leader in home runs made a bid for his second blast two innings later, unleashing one to straightaway center.
He made a bid for his second blast of the game two innings later, unleashing one to straightaway center. It had home-run distance, but Cunningham made a sensational play to stymie the ball and take away a home run. On the run all the way to the fence, he jumped and reached his mitt back over the wall to make the catch at the pinnacle of his jump.
Missing out on the win won't deter anyone's positive feelings about Romero's strong outing. As it's been the last few starts, Wednesday was another baby step toward Romero getting back to form. Lately, he's been proving the small steps are really the biggest.
"He figured out a way to compete without his best stuff," Brown said. "He mixed his pitches well. He used his two-seamer a lot, his change-up was effective. He didn't throw his breaking ball as much as he did his last outing, but it had tremendous bite to it.
"He's where he needs to be right now. He's inching his way forward to get back to where he was."

Master of Disguise
This article isn't about a news item. Rather, it's more a celebration of how fascinating nature can be, and how it can sometimes be so damn cool that it actually blows our mind! The Mimic Octopus aka Thaumoctopus mimicus, which was only discovered in 1998 off the coast of Indonesia, is simply amazing.
You have to see for yourself, as a textual description doesn't do justice to how cool the Mimic's camouflage abilities are.
That this awesome creature was only discovered by humans less than 15 years ago makes me wonder how many other seemingly magical species there are out there…

Best Films of 2010Published by Clay Cane on Monday, December 27, 2010 at 12:00 am.
We already talked about the bad, now check out the best movies of 2010.
10. Children Of GodIf there were any faults in this movie, Margaret Laurena Kemp's performance redeemed every moment. All I could think was – why haven't I heard of this woman before? Children of God is gloriously shot, each frame strikingly beautiful, despite its low budget. It's refreshing to see an independent filmmaker who knows his craft. Unfortunately, the discipline of independent film-making has gotten lost in the age of the Internet, where anyone with web clips can claim they are a director.
9. Night Catches UsThis might be Tanya Hamilton's debut film, but this was not a movie for amateurs. She clearly took her time and did research. A Columbia University grad, she made a movie that is leagues ahead of that of a typical first-time filmmaker.
8. AftershockAftershock is a fresh movie-going experience that people of all backgrounds can enjoy. Most beautifully, the flick honors those who lost loved ones in the tragic earthquake 34 years ago. This is not just a movie, but an appropriate memorial for such a sad moment in China's history.
7. 127 HoursDanny Boyle and James Franco made127 Hours another reason to never lose your faith in the magic of movie making.
6. The Social Network The closest to a John Hughes film this generation will get, which is a huge compliment.
5. La MissionWithout a big budget and little promotion, the creators of La Mission brought together one of the more memorable movies of the year.
4. I Love You Phillip MorrisPresented with sincerity, not 'fruity' buffoonery; I Love You Phillip Morris is easily the best comedy of 2010.
3. The Kids Are All RightStarring Annette Benning and Julianne Moore, The Kids Are All Right has been universally praised for its deeply emotional stories mixed with real-life comedy. Regardless of your background, the superbly written film is easily relatable. The viewer walks away with teachable moments and, even though it's cliche, realizing we are more alike than different.
2. Joan Rivers: A Piece of WorkJoan Rivers is an absolute piece of work and her revealing but hilarious documentary on her life is the best doc of the year. Rivers is a survivor in the entertainment industry and has the warrior marks to prove it.
1. I Will FollowAt every angle, I Will Follow is a hailing achievement for writer and director Ava DuVernay. If you need explosions, guns, gratuitous sex, or epic CGI, then I Will Follow is not for you. But, if you want a movie with a flawless script, passionate actors, tears and laughs that result in inspiration, then this is a must-see. This is a story that will stay with you for many days after. Without question, I Will Follow is a full dose of humanity and makes me proud to be associated with the film industry.
Honorable mentions: Waiting For Superman, Conviction, Inception

I've been frankly kicking myself that I didn't consider applying to GULC's part-time division. I saw a site that said that their median LSAT for PT is only 160, for which I am somewhat(?) competitive...I figure that if you do well, you could transfer up to FT next year. Besides, it may be worth the extra year in terms of the school's reputation and job opportunities.
Where should I go next fall? / Re: New York Law School: Worth it?« on: February 17, 2007, 02:38:42 PM »
I've applied to NYLS as a safety, and frankly, I hope to GOD I don't end up there.
A.) It's the bottom feeder of NYC
B.) It's 39K (!!!!!!!!!!) a year, and coupled with living expenses for three years in NYC, you're looking at at least 180K of debt. Unacceptable.
I've also applied to John marshall in chicago, yet I'd rather go there based on the fact that the network is supposedly pretty good and they've got an amazing moot court team.
So there's my two cents, for what it's worth.
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Which school? (Suffolk, NESL, or WNEC)« on: February 17, 2007, 02:27:55 PM »
I live in New England, and would choose Suffolk over any of the other schools you've been accepted to. As far as network goes, Suffolk is amazing in the RI/Mass area (certainly comparable and maybe even exceeding Northeastern or BU/BC, to a degree). But outside of the region, you chances might not be so good right off the bat.
Frankly, I can't understand why Suffolk is ranked so low... many prominent judges and politicians in RI & Mass went to Suffolk (including RI's current Attorney Gen). Most all of RI's General Assembly members are Suffolk grads. Nothing against NESL, a school which some friends of mine have graduated from, but Suffolk is far better, hands down.
Plus, if you're interested in trial advocacy, Suffolk generally blows away the surrounding schools (including the BIG H) in the regional moot court competitions. You'll never clerk for the U.S. Supreme Court, but if you want a solid education with good work prospects in New England, I'd def. choose Suffolk.
Where should I go next fall? / Do schools offer PT program if rejected for FT?« on: February 17, 2007, 02:19:43 PM »
Hello. I see that St. John's offers the option of acceptance in their PT program if rejected for FT (for some). Does any of the other schools I've applied to also do this?
New York Law School
Rutgers Newark
Loyola Chicago
U Wisconsin (not sure if they have PT, actually)
John Marshall (Chicago)
Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Albany Law School, 155 LSAT« on: February 12, 2007, 02:11:21 PM »
Hey these are some great posts. Thanks a lot.
Regarding Albany's LRPA program, the website states that grads working in the public sector (i.e. government, non-profit, etc...) can qualify for up to 10K a year loan forgiveness in the form of a check for the first three years of practice after graduation, provided you make under a certain amount. I guess that means that at most, one can get a total of 30K back within the first three years of practice. Now Albany's 32K a year, so figure at most 35K after books and fees, so 105K for the whole ride. Now, I know that Albany's damn cheap to live in (I live in Providence, which is a tad more expensive but still reasonable), especially compared to NYC. So it's attractive, especially since some of these posts say that Albany grads do indeed make it to NYC.
I see that Buffalo does rank in the Top 100, while Albany is a mid-to-high tier 3, but I don't think that the difference is that substantial at that point. The proximity to state government/courts should make up for it. Besides, couldn't it be that the only reason that Albany (& Syracuse, for that matter) is tier-3 is because EVERYONE wants to live in NYC, so it kinda pulls the more competitive applicants to schools like Brooklyn, St. John's and Rutgers Newark, to a degree? I certainly could be mistaken but that's how I see it.
Where should I go next fall? / Albany Law School, 155 LSAT« on: February 07, 2007, 02:03:16 PM »
Hey, I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight on Albany Law School, which I've applied to for the Fall 2007. As I understand it, it's the oldest private law school in the U.S., with great trial and and clinical programs. I'm also interested in their generous (at least I think so) LRA program, as well as the proximity to state courts/government.
Any insight into the quality of education there? Also, how's the network into New York City? As it stands, with a 155 LSAT, Albany and Suffolk are my safety schools, compared with St. John's, Rutgers Newark, Depaul, John Marshall, Loyola Chicago, and U. Wisconsin. Thanks.
