How about some straight talk to go along with newspaper transformation?
By Rem Rieder Rem Rieder (firstname.lastname@example.com) is AJR's editor and senior vice president.
I'm a pretty big First Amendment guy, although certainly not as big as the late (and great) Dick Schmidt, the longtime general counsel for the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
"My father said I was born to be a First Amendment lawyer," Dick said back in 1997 when he accepted the Media Institute's Freedom of Speech Award. "He said that when I was a child, I ran into the fire station and yelled, 'Theater!'"
But while I'm a First Amendment guy, I do accept the notion that there are some limits to free speech, things that are simply beyond the pale and just cannot be tolerated. And I've bumped up against one of them way too often: the expression "do more with less."
This one has been getting quite a workout in the news business in recent years.
As even a casual visitor to Romenesko knows, newspapers have been pummeled by cutbacks as readers and advertisers have gravitated online and profit margins have dwindled.
There has been a steady drumbeat of announcements of layoffs and buyouts and hiring freezes. But at the same time the papers are saying goodbye to the departing staffers, they are frantically beefing up their Web operations in an effort to adapt to the new realities of the media world (see "Transforming the Architecture," October/November). And they're assigning some of the survivors to cover hyperlocal news. More tasks, fewer people.
Inevitably, the publisher accompanies news of the bloodletting with the solemn declaration that the cutbacks in no way suggest that the paper is backing off from its commitment to world-class public service journalism.
There's not really a problem, you see. The paper is going to do more with less.
This nonsense is repeated so often that it's amazing anyone can still say it with a straight face. Certainly no one believes it.
The staffers know what's going on. They know what's lost, whether it's subject beats that are abandoned, cities and towns and neighborhoods that are ignored or enterprise pieces and investigative reports that never surface because there isn't enough reporting firepower to make them happen.
And don't think the readers don't know when they're getting a product that's thinner both in terms of newshole and heft. All the spin in the world can't hide that.
The "do more with less" silliness is bad enough when it comes from other industries. But it's particularly appalling when it comes from people who are in the truth-telling business.
Maybe it's time to launch a special Pulitzer Prize for candor. And the first award should go to Steven A. Smith, editor of the Spokesman-Review in Spokane. When Smith warned his staff earlier this year that (inevitably) cuts were coming, he opted for straight talk instead of mumbo jumbo. "A smaller staff means a lesser paper," he wrote. "Doing more with less is corporate-speak BS and you won't hear it from me. There is no way to make this pig look like anything other than a pig."
Now don't get me wrong. The news business is in a transformative phase, so there's plenty of reason for rethinking and revamping and restructuring. As John Morton rightly points out (see The Newspaper Business, October/November), it's not that newspapers are exactly charity cases. The average profit margin of publicly traded newspaper companies was 16 percent in the first half of 2007, a number that would be Nirvana (if not Pearl Jam) for many industries. But it's a number that's steadily falling. And with the continuing decline of print circulation, the accelerated drop in print advertising and the powerful allure of the Internet, standing pat is hardly an attractive option.
So, sure, make some moves to try to survive and thrive. But spare me the more-with-less doubletalk. Lying to your minions and your customers doesn't seem like a particularly wise strategy.
And it's probably smart to avoid putting a Pollyanna spin on the notion of the Web as savior, particularly in the short term. As Paul Farhi makes clear in a penetrating and sobering look at all of this (see "Online Salvation?"), it will be quite some time before newspapers' online revenue grows to the point that it offsets lost print income. Look for a long, hard slog.
Most alarming, it looks like the rapid rate of online advertising growth at newspapers is slowing down. Let's hope those scary third quarter numbers at some major newspaper companies are merely a blip.
While we're banning expressions, how about adding "it is what it is" to the dustbin? Is it just me or is this suddenly ubiquitous catchphrase truly annoying? First of all, what does it even mean? Are there lots of people out there who think it is what it's not? Second, it carries the connotation that we're stuck with the status quo, no matter how melancholy, and nothing can be done about it.
And that's absolutely the opposite attitude from the one journalists need as we plot the exciting if somewhat daunting future.

Graziano is a very friendly host. The room is nice, big enough for 2 persons and very clean.
Graziano is a very kind hostman. He gave us information how to get from the airport to his flat, so we had no problem or stress to find it. There are muffins at the room as a welcome gift, which is very kind as well as tea and coffee for breakfast. I was disappointed by the room - it looks very nice in the Internet but it is small and dark. The bathroom could have been cleaner.
The distance to shops and restaurants is about 5 minutes, that was very comfortable.
Very Nice! Graziano was very friendly & I liked the room! Clean, seperate bathroom, great area not far from M1
Would definetely recommend it!
Very friendly and helpful host, apartment was really nice and clean and it is very well located!
Very nice stay in Milan ! Very easy to find and very nice host . Our arrival was later than expected due to train and it was not a problem ! We also could leave our suitcases the last day so we could enjoy our stay until the last minute !
Graziano was very easy going just GREAT ! Thank you Graziano !
Room is complete separated from the home, you have got your own key. So it feels like a hotel. Price has all got the do with the week you visit, additional costs for the Wimdu organisation don't improve the competitiveness with the hotels near by. Breakfast was real Italian, and self service. Graziano is a practical help full man.
We had a great time. The room was very clean and spacious. The location of the room was great: close to public transport and it would only take 15 minutes to walk to the city center. The neigbourhood was very quiet and clean. There was breakfast in the room and tea and coffee. We got our own key to enter. Definately recommendable!

My new favorite sweater
I have a two-ply cashmere bathrobe from Red Envelope my husband bought me a few years ago that is amazing and made be wish for a longish cashmere cardigan ever since. I have kept my eye on this waiting for a sale for a year now and was thrilled when I saw the additional price drop last week, got the thumbs up from my husband to get one for myself from him. As usual, the shipping and packaging from Overstock was fast and done well. The sweater is exactly as described and pictured. I am 5'3 and about 120 lbs and ordered the Medium, based on reading other reviews of sleeve length. It fits well, with the sleeves a tad past the end of my wrists. I could roll them once if I ever needed to, and a small would probably have worked for me as well. I love the length, which for me hits on the lower third of the back of my legs. It's very flattering, feminine with the ruffles, and not heavy or itchy or overly warm. It is also not cheaply made and the thickness of the cashmere is very good. I am impressed and thinking about ordering one in another color. This is my new favorite sweater. Thank you again, Overstock, for another great purchase!Read More

Going To Be More Popular Than Space Giraffe?
Does anybody think that this is going to be more popular than the "modernisation" space giraffe? seeing as space giraffe wasnt exactly the pacman of the xbox live arcade..
Nah I doubt it. For some reason the Atari games on XBLA don't sell quite as well as other arcade games do.
I know this thread is a little necrotic, but I just bought Tempest and when I saw this thread I just had to post a link to this article where the maker of Space Giraffe (which I've played and it really is just Tempest with trippy visuals...which is kind of cool except for the fact that Jeff Minter apparently thinks this is original) cry babies over Frogger outselling Space Giraffe 10 to 1 in the space of a week.

Standards for reliable and secure communications
A secure digital life for users, businesses and societies
Information Security standards are essential to ensure interoperability among systems and networks, compliance with legislation and adequate levels of security. These standards provide the means for protecting the user, creating a more secure and profitable environment for the industrial sector, from SMEs to large global companies, and providing benefits for a diverse range of interest groups that include government organizations, research bodies and universities.
The main areas of ETSI's work related to security cover Mobile/Wireless Communications, Cyber Security, Emergency Telecommunications, Information Technology Infrastructure, Lawful Interception and Data Retention, Electronic Signatures, Smart Cards, Fixed Communications and Security Algorithms.
The Security Cluster is a horizontal cluster with the mission to work with all ETSI Technical Committees, other Standards Development Organizations and relevant fora on the co-ordination and dissemination of security aspects.
The ETSI Security cluster encompasses the activities of several ETSI Technical Committees and Industry Specification Groups:
- 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project)
- ATTM (Access, Terminals, Transmission and Multiplexing)
- BROADCAST (Joint TC on broadcasting matters)
- CYBER (Cyber Security)
- DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications)
- EMTEL (Emergency Telecommunications)
- ERM (Electromagnetic Compatibility and Radio Spectrum Matters)
- ERM TGAERO (Aeronautics)
- ESI (Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures)
- ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems)
- LI (Lawful Interception)
- MSG (Mobile Standards Group)
- MTS (Methods for Testing and Specification)
- NTECH (Networks)
- QKD (Quantum Key Distribution)
- QSC (Quantum-Safe Cryptography)
- RRS (Reconfigurable Radio Systems)
- RT (Railways Telecommunications)
- SAGE (Security Algorithms Group of Experts)
- SCP (Smart Card Platform)
- SES (Satellite Earth Stations and Systems)
- TCCE (TETRA and Critical Communications Evolution)
Other contributors include Global Platform, ENISA, CCSA, OMA, GSMA, NFC Forum, IEC, NSA, TIA, ISO, OASIS, CAB Forum, UPnP Forum, UPU, ITU-T, ERCIM, JRC.
Standards to support the use of electronic signatures and public key certificates are a key driver in enabling the successful evolution of electronic commerce. TC ESI is responsible for standardization in the areas of electronic signatures and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to support electronic commerce in open environments.
Smart cards are an important enabler in applications where a user's credentials are used for authentication and secure communication. TC SCP standardized the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card for GSM, which is one of the most widely deployed smart cards ever.
TC SCP maintains and expands the specifications of a smart card platform, the Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC), for mobile communication systems upon which other committees and organizations can base their system-specific applications.
Cyber Security is vital for the deployment of security technologies and security management to deliver and maintain effective Critical Infrastructures that are reliant on ICT technology. ETSI's TC CYBER is responsible for the standardization of Cyber Security and for providing a centre of relevant expertise for other ETSI committees.
Next Generation Networks (NGN) and Future Networks security aspects are addressed by TC NTECH.
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is the essential credential in order to use quantum cryptography on a broad basis. ISG QKD develops ETSI Group Specifications that describe quantum cryptography for ICT networks.
ETSI's ISG on Quantum-Safe Cryptography (QSC) works to make an assessment and provide recommendations on the various proposals from industry and academia for real-world deployment of algorithms safe to quantum attacks and to standardize their relevant parts when needed.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a method of storing and remotely retrieving data. RFID can be used as a technology to achieve authentication and access.
As the technology can be used in company access badges and passports, for toll payments and other systems, it is potentially vulnerable to fraudulent or terrorist attack. Security aspects for the RFID technology are developed by ERM TG34.
ETSI produces and maintains a suite of standards for Lawful Interception and Retained Data within the TC LI. This work is crucial to preserve national security, to combat terrorism and in the investigation of serious criminal activities. The TC LI work focuses on the technical aspects related to the Handover Interface for the delivery of intercepted communications in transit through networks and stored within the network.
ETSI is a global leader in the provision and maintenance of security algorithms. ETSI's Security Algorithms Group of Experts (SAGE) provides ETSI's standards makers with cryptographic algorithms and protocols specific to fraud prevention, unauthorized access to public and private telecommunications networks and user data privacy.
Authentication and encryption mechanisms are developed by ETSI for various technologies. These include GSM/UMTS, LTE (through 3GPP), TETRA, DECT and RFID.
Emergency Telecommunications and Public Safety are areas requiring considerable standardization activity in order to support emergency scenarios in the most efficient way. EMTEL is the focal point in ETSI for the co-ordination and collection of European requirements for emergency service communications, and for the creation of the necessary related standards.
TC SES produces standards for satellite communication services and applications (including mobile and broadcasting), for earth stations and earth station equipment. TC SES looks after the network security aspects for broadband satellite multimedia services.
TC ITS produces standards to support the development and implementation of communications and services for intelligent transport systems across the network, for transport networks, vehicles and transport users. Security aspects relate to securing vehicular communications, such as to prevent eavesdropping and malware, covering vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications.
Broadcasting technologies deliver radio, television and data services. ETSI performs security work in this area - including encryption techniques to protect the broadcasting content - in JTC Broadcast, which brings the Institute together with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC).
TC RRS focuses its work on the user requirements and the system design and architecture of reconfigurable radio systems in the public safety and defence domains.
TC AERO (now closed) had the primary responsibility to develop European standards under European Commission Mandates on aeronautical communications and related interoperability and safety matters. Work has been transferred to ERM TGAERO.
IPv6 is regarded as the main protocol for the next generation internet, and due to the complexity of its implementation, effective testing of IPv6 products is one of the key factors to ensure successful deployment, interoperability, reliability and security of the IPv6 infrastructure. IPv6 testing standardization is carried out by TC MTS.
IPCablecom is a technology which provides high quality, secure communications using IP over cable television networks and is the responsibility of TC ATTM. Security is a key issue for IPCablecom since it is a shared network providing valuable content.

FWM, Bradley:
We stand by our demands and representation of the facts.
Ms Laudati canceled the product within the terms and conditions guidelines and before the end of fifteen day trial period. Instead of stopping the charge of $87.13 FWM initiated before the expiration of the fifteen day trial, FMW processed the payment anyway and deducted
it from Ms Laudati's account on May 12, 2009, five days after Ms Laudati canceled on May 7th.
No refund or any other additional payments have been received by Ms Laudati relative to FWM order/item # 5137329 which is listed as a refund processed on May 7, 2009. Ms Laudati and myself have had at least six different representations by FWM that the refund had been
processed on different days and times all resulting in nothing.
Ms Laudati continues to be damaged by FWM. FWM Laboratories has had more than sufficient time to deliver a refund and compensation and continues not to do so. FMW should not have initiated the processing
of the $87.13 fee before the trial period ended. FWM flagrantly disregarded Ms Laudati's canceling of the order on May 7, 2009 and took the money anyway.
$873.74 plus legal fees is the current total for settlement of Ms Laudati's action and claim against FWM Laboratories.
(It is time time that consumers take action against companies that try to take advantage of them. File a complaint with the Attorne General's Office in Florida and one with the Better Business Bureau. I am personally fed up with being ripped off by companies who just make money from the hard working public and give them useless product and won't refund them, continually bill their cards and tell you that a refund is forthcoming which appears to get lost in cyberspace.) If we all took action we wouldn't have to complain.

QSL/VERIE FORM in PDF format.
QSL/VERIE FORM in WORD format.
Once you are on the Forms download page you will see the forms are first offered in a pdf format.
These are not modifiable unless you have special software. Below the pdf�s are the forms in MS Office format that most of us have on our computers.
These MS Office formatted forms can be easily modified as I describe below. The first form is the Target DX Form.
The second form is the Log Book Form You can down load and save the sheet to your computer by right clicking on the link and Save Target as�
Once you have it downloaded you can modify the form to meet your needs by renaming columns or adjusting the width of the columns.
Once you have completed this you can use it on the computer or print off copies to have at your radio listening location.
If you wish to further modify the two forms above you can add a header or footer to the form.
With the form open in Excel go to View then click on Header/Footer. You can then click on Customize Header and set up a header to show up on the top of the sheet.
In this area in Center Section I have put in my name plus the word Location.
I can then write beside the word location where I am DX�ing from if I am not at home.
This lets me know where I was when I logged the stations on that sheet. Then you can go to Customize Footer and in the Center Section I have listed my equipment that I DX with.
You can mark in Receiver, Antenna and put in your equipment or leave it black and mark in what you were using if you have multiple pieces of equipment.
After that click OK in the custom sections and OK on Page set up and the Header and Footer will be saved to the sheet.
If you intend to print out any of the above 2 forms before you print go to: View then Page Break Preview.
This will show you just how they will look. If there is more than one page click on the dotted line and drag it to the edge or bottom of the form.
This will then make it read Page 1. Now it will all fit on the single sheet of paper you print. Also check under:
File then Page Setup. Make sure it is on Landscape and not Portrait. This will give you a better print capacity.
The QSL Submission Form is in MS Word.
You can down load and save the sheet to your computer by right clicking on the link and Save Target as�
Once you have it downloaded you can modify the form to meet your needs by changing the wording spacing etc as you would in any Word document.
If you change the form just make sure it stays as a single page.
It is very easy to add a line or space and end up with a 2 page document.
Once you have modified any of the forms you can save them and they are all yours.
You can now use the form on the computer or print off copies to have at your radio listening location.
If you wish to change these forms into pdf�s you can do so by going to a site called PDF Online.
Their web site is: http://18.104.22.168/doc2pdf/Default.aspx
All you have to do is follow the three easy steps on the page and then click on the button marked Convert to PDF.
They will email you the converted PDF in less than 15 minutes. Actually I have never waited longer than five minutes.
The pdf�s you see on the NRC website of my forms were converted at PDF Online so you can judge the quality for yourself.

Travers (G1) Quotes
Rafael Bejarano, rider of runner-up American Freedom (No. 2): "I had to go for it. I was really comfortable the whole race. It was a good second for my horse. The winner, he was just the best. The winner, he went for it and he was still holding. I knew this horse [Arrogate] could run all day; it was the best I could get from my horse.
"I would say my horse didn't really want to go more than a mile-and-an-eighth. A mile-and-a-quarter might have been too much for him, but he tried really hard today."
Jockey Junior Alvarado, jockey aboard fourth-place finisher Gift Box (No. 9): "I thought he ran great. It was like I pictured before the race and it was exactly what happened. I couldn't be any happier with the spot I in was all the way around. At the three-eighths pole, I did get a little bit excited. When I asked him he started picking it up very nicely. They just kept running fast in front. They never backed up a little bit but he still ran a great race."
Chad Brown, trainer of fourth-place finisher Gift Box (No. 9), sixth-place finisher Connect (No. 10) and eighth-place finisher My Man Sam (No. 3): "I thought Gift Box and Connect got great trips. I loved that they had no one around them in the middle of the pack there, no traffic, with a really strong pace up front. I was feeling good midway down the backside but, boy, that was some performance. I don't know that I've ever seen a performance like that in any Travers. For Bob Baffert to run 1-2, he brought two well-prepared horses. Hats off to him and his team."
Keith Desormeaux, trainer of beaten favorite and 11th-place finisher, No. 7 Exaggerator: "He said he got bumped a little, but other than that we had the trip we wanted. Other than that, no excuses.
Kent Desormeaux, jockey aboard beaten favorite Exaggerator (No. 7): "I wouldn't have any idea."
Eric Guillot, trainer of 12th-place finisher, No. 13 Laoban: "I think Baffert has 150 of the best-bred horses in the world, that's what I think. There will be five of them you can't outrun every year. He [Laoban] was too fresh. He fought."

Jon Hamm Says He Deserved to Lose on That '90s Dating Show
He's so wrong.
Most Popular
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Jon Hamm stopped by The Late Late Show on Tuesday, ostenibly to talk about the long-awaited return of Mad Men, but really to talk about his appearance on a '90s dating show that went viral earlier this week.
After Craig Ferguson showed some of the original clip, Hamm made a delightfully topical joke, deadpanning, "And that's how I met your mother." When Craig mentioned that he thought it was unfair that Hamm lost, theMad Men star vehemently disagreed. "Would you have picked me?" Jon asked. Uh, yes. A thousand times yes.

Hearing Protection for Musicians, or, It's Too Loud and I'm Too Old
I am a bass player, and I have recently returned to playing loud, noisy rock and roll after a 4-year hiatus from the stage. I have always eschewed earplugs on stage, on the grounds that they keep me from hearing all of the nuance I need to hear to play effectively with a group. But I ain't no spring chicken anymore, and now I recognize that the real reason I never wore earplugs before, even in mind-bendingly loud bands, was mostly out of misplaced machismo. I can tell that I have lost some hearing over the years, especially in the ear that usually faces the drums, and I want to avoid losing more. I have tried using cheap, disposable foam ear plugs, but I am not satisfied with the sound quality I am getting with them. Are there better ear protection alternatives out there? [more inside]

Can you help me reduce pick-hand pain when I play bass guitar?
I've been playing electric bass guitar in bands continuously for about 25 years or so. The last 20 years I've been using a pick exclusively, and for most of that time, while playing, I've suffered bad pain in my picking hand - specifically around the base of my thumb and in between the thumb and index finger. It's kind of like a cramp that comes on about 5 minutes after I start playing, and can in extreme isntances result in me not being able to hold onto the pick. The pain subsides after I stop playing, but it's a serious hinderance to playing well! I'm in a punk band, so lots of speed picking. I've tried hand and arm exercises, stretching, upping my potassium intake (bananas and coconut water), repositioning the bass, and taking Ibuprofin before playing and none of it seems to work reliably. Is this something I am just have to live with?

Live bass guitar looping - how DID he do it?
A little while back I heard a bass guitar player with some kind of amazing live looping set-up - what on earth was it? I keep wondering what he was doing.

Amazing. But how?

Perception of fast times at Santa Anita?The Visumatic timer originally caught the horse at 1:55 for the 1 3/16 mile, the third-fastest Preakness in history. When the timer proved faulty, the official time was changed to 1:54.4 (according to the Pimlico clocker), just two-fifths of a second off Cañonero's 1971 record.

I installed this plugin on a site I built for a friend over a year ago. I upgraded to Pro and got a lot of support from you guys during the teething stages of the website's construction.
I think I've found a bug and I wanted to let you know. On the website, we use a widget calendar and a full calendar. The widget can be seen on most pages, such as this: http://painkillerbookings.com/pk/ (it's on the left next to the About section).
And the full calendar can be seen here: http://painkillerbookings.com/pk/gig-guide/
Anyways, the possible bug is this: In Events > Settings > Formatting > Calendar, under the "Calendar Day Event List Settings" section, we had "Calendar events/day limit" set to 1. But this was effectively disabling the "more gigs..." link and the date link from showing a full list of events that occur on the same day as other events. So any day that had 2 or more events, only one event would show.
But when I delete the 1 from "Calendar events/day limit" we get the list working as it ought to (when clicking on the date. However, the "more gigs..." link is now gone. Also, all events show in the full calendar, making the calendar layout a lil bloated for days with many events.
Could it be another setting clashing with this?

Odds of Hanging On
How do we say this politely? You probably shouldn't be writing poetry for any reason other than that you really love writing poetry. If you wind up getting published, there's still no way to ensure that your book will be successful. If it's successful, there's no guarantee it'll sell well. And even if it does sell well, who knows if you'll be able to replicate that success again.
Your best bet is to find a residence or professorship position teaching poetry at a college or university. This way you can stay immersed in the arts and continue thinking about poetry on a daily basis, without actually having to have any success at all.

Part of the collection: The Presidents
He went off to war an unknown soldier and returned a beloved national hero. Often dismissed as a "do-nothing" president and a good-natured bumbler, Dwight D. Eisenhower -- the last American president to be born in the 19th century -- was actually a skillful politician, a tough Cold War warrior, and one of America's most misunderstood and unappreciated presidents.

The famous 19th century graph by Charles Joseph Minard showing Napoleon's troops during the invasion of Russia is an intersection of data, illustration and storytelling. The graph depicts three distinct and major variables that factored into the eventual French defeat – troop levels, temperature and movement.
Even though the process of cartography is starkly different in the 21st century, the use of pictures and diagrams as visual data is still prevalent, at least for the U.S. Army.
Data visualization is helping the Army cut through red tape by displaying information such as equipment counts in places all around the world, said Chuck Driessnack, vice president of missile defense at SAIC.
For example, Driessnack said that having a comprehensive view of the estimated $36 billion worth of equipment in Afghanistan is crucial as the U.S. continues to draw down its presence and bring equipment back home.
Charles Joseph Minard, a French civil engineer, drew this map depicting Napoleon's 1812 advance into and retreat from Russia. According to scimaps.org, it 'may be the best statistical graphic ever drawn.'
"We have all this equipment that has accumulated over all those operations and they're sitting over in Afghanistan and we're coming out," said Driessnack, who was speaking at the Tableau Customer Conference in National Harbor, Md., on Monday. Tableau Software specializes in making data digestible through visualization systems, and works with both the private and public sectors.
An example of SAIC's visualization program is a map that shows how many Army ambulances are at locations around the globe.
"So what's common in these organizations is they have the data but they can't get arms around it," he said.
The other major benefit in implementing visualization systems is ensuring that personnel at every level receive consistent information through dashboards. This allows for better information sharing from data analysts all the way up to the upper echelons of Army leadership.
"I'm talking about from the four-star general all the way down to the analyst and they're seeing it all at the same time," Driessnack said.

I have a coffee table surfaced with oak veneer and I'm refinishing the top due to water marks, scratches, etc. I sanded the blemishes out and lightly sanded the entire surface with 220 grit to try to get a uniform surface. After applying three coats of wipe on poly the finish is very dull and streaky. I want to take the poly down to the bare wood to try to start over, but I'm concerned about going through the veneer. Should I sand it all down, or use some kind of stripper first? I don't believe the wood is stained, just finished natural.

Most likely you will sand off the veneer while trying to remove the poly.
I don't use poly so can't tell you what to use to remove it.
Some sort of stripper may be in works.
Steve, and other guys, will let you know what might be best for your situation.

…to the WOOD Magzine Forums, particularly to the Finishing & Refinishing Forum. I hope you will visit often. You will find a number of accomplished woodworkers and finishers here who stand ready to assist you with your finishing and refinishing questions.
Sanding to remove finish is almost never a good idea. In this case I suspect that the streaks in your finish are a direct result of your sanding. Over time wood develops "patina" as a result of exposure to UV and oxygen. Patina changes the color of the wood. In some species the change is obvious (cherry, for example) while in others, oak being an example, the change is far more subtle. When finish is removed by sanding the patina is removed, though not uniformly. When a new finish is applied streaking becomes evident.
A second possibility that cannot be completely eliminated from consideration is the failure to properly stir varnish that contains flatting agents. If your varnish (poly) is any sheen other than gloss and you did not thoroughly stir the contents before (and during) application the flatting agents may very well have settled to the bottom resulting in reduced sheen in some areas and near gloss sheen in others.
If the streaking is the result of irregular sanding through the patina the only solution will be to strip the finish and apply a light stain or dye (preferable dye) to even the color before finishing. If the problem is insufficient stirring (mixing) of the varnish than simply stir and apply another coat of varnish.
If the finish must be removed to add color do not sand (you dodged the bullet once, don't put yourself in the line of fire again). Use a chemical stripper containing methylene chloride and follow the instructions on the can…

Interest rates on student loans may be going up- that's because so far, Congress can't agree on a measure to avoid the hikes.
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said today a bipartisan agreement being offered is not an acceptable deal. That could block efforts to keep loan interest rates from doubling.
The measure would attach student loans' interest rates to the financial markets. The proposal would set higher interest rates in future years if the economy improves as expected.
It would also allow students to avoid a July 1st rate hike on new loans.
A spokesman for Reid says the senator cannot support that proposal.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell's spokesman says they don't understand why Democrats are blocking a compromise.
