Although both leading developers of discrete graphics processing units (GPUs) recently introduced their new dual-chip flagship offerings, there is stagnation on the market of single-processor graphics cards. Radical performance increase of standalone chips may be expected along with the launch of next-gen solutions, but nobody knows when this happens. One of the guesses is that both GPU suppliers wait for GDDR5 to arrive.
Nvidia Corp., currently the leading supplier of discrete desktop GPUs, unveiled its GeForce 9800 GTX just a few days ago without making loud announcements or claims. The reason for this quiet launch is simple: the new GeForce 9800 GTX is not faster than the GeForce 8800 GTX released almost one and a half years ago and offers almost no new capabilities. A similar thing can be said about ATI, graphics product group of Advanced Micro Devices, who launched its Radeon HD 3870 back in November with fanfares, but without any performance improvements over ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT, which was meant to be a product due in 2006, but slipped into May, 2007.
Given that ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT and Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX graphics boards supported multi-GPU capabilities, two of each graphics boards could easily provide performance of flagship ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 and Nvidia GeForce 9800 GX2 a long time ago. Of course, at pretty high price-points.
The new generations of discrete graphics adapters – ATI Radeon HD 4000 and Nvidia GeForce 10 – are projected to deliver the new definition of high-performance, but unfortunately neither of the GPU developers wants to pinpoint the exact timeframe when the next-generation products are available. Perhaps, because nobody is exactly sure when they can deliver them?
It is not a secret that modern graphics chips are extremely complex in terms of transistor count, which makes them hard to develop and produce. Limiting transistor count of the chip allows to make its creation and ramp up easier, but also reduces potential performance because of lower amount of execution units. Another thing that limits performance is memory bandwidth.
There are two ways to boost memory bandwidth: to push memory chips clock-speeds up and to widen memory bus. Both ATI and Nvidia experimented with 512-bit and 384-bit memory buses in the past, but the latest graphics chips by two companies utilize 256-bit memory bus, partly because the latest ATI RV670 and Nvidia G92 chips are aimed at market segments from about $150 and upwards.
Existing GDDR3 memory chips may run at 2.0GHz – 2.2GHz, which provides up to 140.8GB/s memory bandwidth in case of 512-bit bus, though, such chips are pretty expensive, just like print-circuit board with 512-bit memory bus. For ATI the use of high-speed GDDR4 is an option, whereas Nvidia GeForce 8 and 9 GPUs do not support GDDR4. Therefore, the company either needs expensive GDDR3 in conjunction with wide memory bus, or GDDR5 with its extreme clock-speed potential of up to 6GHz amid wide availability from Samsung, Hynix and Qimonda.
Even though neither ATI/AMD or Nvidia has publicly indicated huge interest towards GDDR5, which is due later this year, it is likely that the new memory type will play a significant role in the next round of graphics card war.

driver error for Blackberry desktop on windows 8 pc
I downloaded the Desktop Software from RIM thinking I could get my Windows 8 pc to recognize my PlayBook thus enabling me to exchange data like photos. However after much exploration on this Windows 8 I found that under computer setting and devices I think it was it says for the PlayBook there is a driver error. Should I uninstall/ reinstall or change a setting so I can get the two to communicate, or is there a driver update that I am unaware of? Thanks for any help. Of course I never had this problem on my old pc-

I tried reinstall this morning, no luck- must be something else. I learn a lot when I have these problems, problem is I don't feel like figuring it out. Oh well I guess I will roll up my sleeves and get to it. Thanks Boight.

I did a full wipe on the tablet and a reinstall- that sucks. I had to hit "repair" and that was my last resort. The BlackBerry Desktop software got stuck at tablet os update. That sucked too.
So I restarted the pc and it seems fine, the PlayBook is working fine too. I entered all the information on the PlayBook when the PlayBook said it was done but the pc never got there. Interesting Huh? So later I will attempt to communicate between the two- devoted to much time already to this. PlayBook is at 22.214.171.1244 now-
By the way I see there is a Desk Top software section to post in. I looked but not far enough down.

I find it is often the case with the PB, weird problems come out of nowhere, I have the same problem that began after I installed Win 8, none of the solutions I have found have worked. A little venting--if they haven't licked this stuff with the launch of BB10 it will be the death of RIM as a device maker.

I successfully installed the PB Drivers through Windows (Running Windows 8 x64). However, I did additionally need to install DM for Windows 8 to recognise the drive and show it on My Computer. So, each time I wish to connect my PB, I open up DM, connect the PB, enter my password, (now, Windows has recognised the PB drive and is showing on My Computer) and close DM.
I never had this problem with Windows 7, as in, I never needed to specifically open DM for Windows to "recognise" my PB.

We must keep in mind there's two ways to access the playbook.
1) via USB through Desktop manager which has to be running.
2) via Wi-fi which is always available. By simply adding \\192.168.0.12\media to the Map network Drive dialog in (my)Computer/computer menu item. Note the 0.12 is specific to my network, use whatever Lan port your router has assigned to your playbook.

Plugging in my PlayBook, a driver appears with that little hazard sign and exclamation mark. The driver reads: This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
My PlayBook is fully updated with 22.214.171.1244. The Windows driver version is 22.214.171.124, dated June 27th, 2012. Connecting the PlayBook via USB causes the driver to install, but not function. Trying to connect to it with the Desktop Manager causes a long pause, where it recognizes my PlayBook and PIN, but then gives me that retry/update/cancel option.
Connecting my PlayBook via BlueTooth prompts me to enter a WPS PIN, which I don't know, and makes me think something's going wrong in the recognition process, as my Torch connects this way aswell, with no problems.
Anyway, you're not the only one in this boat.

I was able to finally get this working all. It seems that the device manager that installs with the Latest Desktop Manager has issues with Windows 8. I found a link that give you an older version of the device manager and drivers it seems and i uninstalled the current drivers deleting them from the system and then installed these and then Desktop Manager worked and Windows 8 also saw the device as a drive as it did before. The link to the download is ftp://ca:firstname.lastname@example.com...USB_Driver.zip . hope this helps everyone as this was a very annoying thing. Now if i could only get the Playbook to work with HDMI cable as i have two cables that do not work.

I was also able to finally get this working. And this way doesn't require an earlier version of of the desktop software.
Windows 8 unable to install PlayBook drivers, resulting in the computer recognizing that the PlayBook is connected, but unable to give you any access to it. It does not appear in the Computer window, and does not prompt you for the PlayBook password. After a minute or so, the BlackBerry device manager recognizes that the PlayBook is connected, and the BlackBerry Desktop Software recognizes the PlayBook, displaying your PIN, but fails to connect, prompting you the the retry/update/cancel window.
I did three things, not sure if all are necessary. You may want to start with the third, and work your way back, repeating the other steps each time if necessary.
First thing: In Windows Control Panel/Programs, click "Turn Windows features on or off". A list will load, make sure .NET framework 3.5 is checked.
Second thing: In the Windows Control Panel/Hardware and Sound, click "device manager", scroll down to Universal Serial Bus controllers, expand the tree, and you'll see a number of USB Root Hub entries. In each of their properties, under the Power Management tab, uncheck the box for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
Second thing: With the PlayBook connected via USB, still in control panel/Hardware and Sound/device manager, scroll up to Network Adapters, and you should see a BlackBerry Device entry, with a hazard sign and exclamation mark, indicating the driver isn't properly installed. Right click and uninstall the driver, and then press the "scan for new hardware changes" button. The BlackBerry Device entry should return, hopefully this time properly installed. Opening BlackBerry Desktop Software at this point should allow you to connect to the PlayBook. To get it to appear in the Computers window, unplug the PlayBook, and reset both the PlayBook and the Computer. Once both have restarted, reconnect the two, and you should be prompted with the PlayBook password, and everything should work fine.
Good luck! Hope this helps!

you sir have made my day. I was thinking that my 25 Microsoft upgrade had ruined my playbook!
thank you so much. Seriously, if ever there was an advert for not trusting microsofts 'this windows 8 business will work fine on your PC and everything that runs with it doodlebug' this is it...although I probably didn't read the instructions..... any how. thanks SO SO much for the fix!

Turn off Wifi.
Yay - thanks for this its been doing my head in all day but I finally got there. The only other thing I had to do was repair my installation of desktop manager which was a little more complicated than it should have been.
The BB installer creates a temporary file which is needed for the repair but gets deleted as soon as the initial install is complete. To recreate it I simply restarted the original installation let the temp file be created and then continued with the repair, once that had finished I cancelled the install. I found that if I just did a reinstall for some reason I had the same problem.
Thanks for all the help, just wish I had found this thread earlier.
Where is this temporary folder created because I have tried all the other 3 steps and i still get the hazard sign next to the blackberry device so I might have to do the same thing. This has been driving me crazy for a while and Id all but given up till i found this thread I feel as though Im nearly there now.

Re: driver error for Blackberry desktop on windows 8 pc
yesterday got to the point that I was alset and did a refresh on my HP desktop which cleaned out a bunch of programs including the DM. and was planning on leaving it that way, figuring I would just use it via wifi.
But then I saw your post and decided to give another try and went on the internet and downloaded the DM software, this time the download was different. it stated I need to add a feature, and stated the framework 3.5. which I saw on your post. updated the feature and finished the download.
Plug my tablet into usb, and its working perfect.
thanks again, love crackberry.

If you just have a playbook, and no legacy BlackBerry phone, you could also try going to BlackBerry Link as it supports bb10 phones and the playbook.

This sucks
I purchased my blackberry playbook a month before I got my computer and I can not get my music from my computer to my tablet. Does that mean Blackberry is behind the times in technology upgrades. It does not make good business when you can't do a sync from the computer to a tablet. Something simple that a mp3 can do on any random pc.

Do you have developer mode on (as you would for transfer Bar files) ?
If so turn it off. I find in developer mode I have problems with my PC using the onboard storage on my PB. Not really an issue but something to remember if transferring music and videos.

Franciska Meitzner tallied the game-winner 10 seconds before the final whistle as Germany defeated Denmark, 23-22, to claim the World Women's Junior Championship in Macedonia on Sunday.
Denmark raced to a 9-3 lead in the first quarter hour, but six consecutive German goals produced a halftime stalemate at 13-13. Germany carried a 4-goal lead into the final ten minutes, but a stubborn Denmark squad equalized and briefly led at 20-19, setting the stage for Meitzner's heroics.
Denmark's Camilla Dalby paced all scorers with 65 goals, earning right back honors on the tournament All-Star team. Despite succumbing in the final, Denmark's Sandra Toft was named the tournament's all-star goalkeeper. Hanna Gwon, central back for third-place South Korea, was named tournament MVP.

$39.97 Pizza Perfecto! Stainless Steel dedicated pizza oven
July 11, 2011, 03:03:39 PM »
This is my first attempt to make pizza in a dedicated pizza oven. I've always used my home gas range or an oversized toaster oven that can accomodate a 12"+ pizza (and on the rare occasion, a gas grill to make grilled pizza.)
I guess the first thought is, well, how much of a dedicated pizza oven can you get for $39.97? (not to mention if your order totals $49 or more, you get FREE shipping on the entire order if you enter a specific coupon code!) Well, it's really quite basic and no frills, but it works!
First, I guess I should say that the drawer that pulls out is actually a wire rack that you probably shouldn't attempt to bake fresh dough on it. It is mostly designed for frozen pizza but the company recommends if you want to bake fresh dough pizza, you should get a pizza stone to use inside this oven.
But thanks to that oversize do-all convection-rotisserie-defroster-dehydrator-slow cooking-baking toaster oven, it came with a perforated pizza pan that was the perfect size for the new pizza oven! So instead of trying to buy another baking stone that fit the new oven, I just used the perforated pan.
For it's virgin test flight, I couldn't wait for refrigerator fermentation taking 3-5 days, so I decided to use Y-Town's emergency dough recipe. I believe it was the latest conversions to baker's percents, then I used the Lehman calculator and shot for 2 doughballs almost 22oz. This is a pretty thick pizza, almost Pan Pizza size, but because the oven was only able to support 12 inch pizzas, I made them about that diameter, give or take maybe a half inch on the rim of the pan. The only difference was that instead of the sugar I used honey, about 5 or 6 teaspoons per double batch. (I let the 2nd doughball rise in the fridge for a couple hours and then put it in the freezer for next week.)
I lightly oiled the pan with garlic oil, then assembled the pizza using my own sauce and then 4 slices of mild cheddar (that's all I had left) at 12, 3, 6 and 9, then covered everything with shredded mozzarella. I usually use Margherita pre-sliced pepperoni at this point but instead I tried Hormel baby size pepperoni (think of a Slim Jim diameter pepperoni, presliced), thinly sliced Roma tomatoes, and "nearly shredded" gourmet ribeye from Price-Rite.
This oven says it needs NO PREHEATING. I was skeptical, so I turned the knob to about 10 minutes to see it work before hand. I immediately thought I had a dud since I did not see the heating elements turn red... but I did see a slight burst of smoke when I opened the door again, proving it was heating. Not sure of how hot it was inside, I tried pointing a laser gun inside it and while moving it around to get a reading, I was quite surprised! It wasn't oven temp but depending on where it was pointed, the gun read temps as high as 764F! And remember, the "coil" wasn't even anwhere near glowing! Matter of fact, it seems the heating element never got glowing red, perhaps an indication of untapped potential if someone knew how to tweak the thermostat control of the oven!
Anyway, here is the pizza coming out of the oven... I turned the timer to 15 minutes and waited about 2-3 minutes before putting the pizza in. I probably could have removed it sooner, but I went for a darker crust. Also is some of the pizza sliced and inverted to see the crust.
I think, for what it costed, it was money well spent. If you smoke, that may be cheaper than a carton of cigs! I've ordered lots of stuff from Bargain Outfitters and they have excellent customer service and customer satisfaction warranty. With the coupon code and ordering something else at the same time (3pc Ronco knife set @ $9.95) I got free shipping too!
The only concern is that it gets hot on the outside and you need to avoid touching it without potholders or oven gloves, and keep children away from it, which is just normal common sense with any type kitchen appliance or oven. Fit and finish is typical of imports. The crumb tray seemed a bit crooked, possibly from the steel being "sprung." It does not affect the performance however. And there is no adjustable temperature control, just a timer that DINGs when ready or near ready. The wire rack is almost too loose in the tracks so I just gripped the outer wires and pulled them out about an eighth inch to make it a little tighter fit in the tracks. All minor nuances...
I have NOT tried this oven yet with frozen pizzas but am rating it instead for what most members here will be using it for: fresh dough pizzas. I would have preferred something bigger than 12 inches for a pizza, but who can argue seeing it only costs $39.97 DELIVERED?? If you are worried about warranties or satisfaction, check out Bargain Outfitters' guarantee:
Your Satisfaction is 100% guaranteed!! You can order from BargainOutfitters with complete confidence. We stand behind every item we sell. If youre not happy for any reason at any time, well promptly refund your money for merchandise returned, or exchange, whichever YOU prefer. Top quality gear at the lowest prices in town!
But again, $39.97 DELIVERED! And NO, I do not work for the company!
I rate it four Chefs!
Below is the link for the Pizza Perfecto! at Bargain Outfitters. I have ordered many things from them in the past and they are a very reputable company (their sister company is Sportsman's Guide.) Order something else to reach $49, add the coupon code BH788, and shipping for the entire order is FREE! Better yet, sign up for their e-mail specials and get savings on many other items.
Now for the pics! The first 2 are the stock photos, the rest are taken by me. Hope this helps!

Genetically modified foods have been a deep-seeded aspect of the global food supply since the 1990s. Genetic engineering involves introducing new characteristics into an organism via recombinant DNA technology. It's a common practice when it comes to agriculture; most of the corn and soybeans found in U.S. markets are genetically modified in some way. Reasons for such modifications range from making crops resistant to certain pests or herbicides to producing microorganisms that aid in baking, brewing and cheese-making. GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, are safe for human consumption as designated by the Food and Drug Administration, the World Health Organization and the American Medical Association.
In recent months, however, the discussion over the safety and public awareness of such products has reached a fever pitch. In March, Whole Foods Market became the first U.S. retailer to require all genetically modified foods in its store to be labeled as such. The FDA does not require labeling of such products, although it is mandated in the European Union. Whole Foods plans to implement the label requirement in all of its U.S. and Canadian locations by 2018.
Genetically engineered animals appear to be the next frontier and, as of press time, the FDA is reviewing a genetically engineered salmon. Developed by Massachusetts-based AquaBounty, the salmon has the ability to reach maturity twice as fast as wild salmon. If approved, it will be the first genetically engineered animal authorized for human consumption. A few national supermarkets, including Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, have already announced they would not offer the salmon if approved, though so far the FDA has found the fish to be as safe as wild salmon. Regardless of whether the salmon gets the okay, roughly 35 other species of genetically modified fish are in development.

The classic wide-angle lens for medium-format photography
Many photographers consider the Distagon® T* 4/50 FLE CFi lens the ideal all-purpose wide angle lens in medium format. The modern optical design guarantees high performance, even close-up, thanks to "floating elements". Corner-to-corner illumination is very even with all aperture settings common in advertising, nature and landscape photography, and veiling glare is extremely well controlled. So the Distagon T* 4/50 FLE CFi lens is well suited for landscape shots with large blue sky areas.
Distortion is kept remarkably low, qualifying the Distagon T* 4/50 FLE CFi lens for both professional architecture and product photography – a unique strength of retrofocus wide angle lenses from Carl Zeiss. On top of all these benefits the Distagon T* 4/50 FLE CFi lens is remarkably compact.

Topic: One table that relates to itself?
I am building a database that will hold points of interest but instead of creating a Continent table and a Country table and a Region table, etc. I just want to create one table called Spots where I can put all the Continents, then Countries, then Regions and then Spots and have them relate upwards. For example, North America is parent of USA is parent of California is parent of Santa Cruz is parent of Santa Cruz Diner.
I created a table called Spots with id, name and spot_id and I put has_many :spots in the spot.rb file, but it doesn't seem to work.
How do I do this?

Today marks the 200th anniversary of U.S.-Chilean friendship! On this day in 1812, Joel Robert Poinsett of Charleston, South Carolina, met with the president of the First Chilean Governing Council as not only the first U.S. diplomat to Chile, but the first accredited member of any foreign government to reach the newly independent nation. Poinsett was received as U.S. Consul General to Chile by Jose Miguel Carrera during a time of revolution in Latin America. The United States, having recently achieved its own independence and engaged at the time in a second war with England, was supportive of Chile's struggle for freedom. Poinsett fought alongside Chilean patriots and participated in the group that drafted Chile's first constitution. He returned to the United States in 1814, having laid a foundation of diplomacy and trade that would endure.
In the past two centuries, the United States and Chile have seen their relationship grow beyond anything Carrera and Poinsett could have imagined, as today, our countries work closely bilaterally, regionally, and globally across a diverse range of issues. Look at any area of engagement -- economic, regional cooperation, environment, education, military, law enforcement, or culture -- and you will see broad and constantly evolving relations. From early commercial exchanges Poinsett fostered to multibillion-dollar investments today, trade has been a cornerstone of the U.S.-Chile relationship -- quadrupling since 2003 under our Free Trade Agreement to nearly $24 billion last year.
Apart from commerce, the United States and Chile enjoy excellent institutional partnerships across a range of issues. Our countries' educational systems benefit from dynamic exchanges such as the Fulbright scholarship program, U.S. law enforcement and military cooperation with Chile is among the best in the hemisphere. We work together in Haiti to foster stability and in Central America to strengthen rule of law and development, a key contribution in the fight against the violence and instability that stem from narcotics trafficking. Chile and the United States enjoy broad cooperation on the environment, agriculture, science, and disaster preparedness.
Chile's Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a ceremony in Santiago today to commemorate the meeting between Poinsett and Carerra and the robust relationship that has grown between our two countries since. The event featured documents and photos from the era, such as the one above of Poinsett, and I was honored to speak on U.S.-Chile relations. In Washington, the Embassy of Chile and the Smithsonian Institution, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of State, are hosting a reception at the Smithsonian American Museum of American Art to celebrate both the February 24, 1812, meeting and the continuing friendship between our two countries. The Under Secretary for Science of the Smithsonian Institution, Dr. Eva J. Pell, Charge d'affaires ad interim of the Embassy of Chile Roberto Matus, and Acting Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Kathleen Stephens will all speak.
Side by side, Chile and the United States are forging a better future for citizens of both countries and for peoples beyond our borders. In another 200 years, our successors no doubt will marvel at how much more we will have achieved.

sidling up...a talking cure...sounds like a mighty good
sidling up...a talking cure...sounds like a mighty good idea, perhaps a forgotten art...reminds me of Emily Dickinson's counsel to "tell the truth, but tell it slant"...we've all got our political bones, but there are worlds of humanity that have grown around and have given, and have informed, the deep stories that shape those political bones...

In 1981 I began working at an organization of 2000 people
In 1981 I began working at an organization of 2000 people just when a new administer took charge for more than a decade. He immediately instituted equal opportunity measures and training for employees as well as measures against sexual harassment. At the time equal opportunity was viewed as artificial because selections for employment and promotion favored non-white candidates in the the professional categories in which almost all employees were white. People conducted themselves professionally and over the decades the mix of people, including gay and lesbian, became part of life. That is, conversations about family and football teams included everyone in all offices. Hiring and promotions were based on merit and congruence with managers, with no need for equal opportunity measures, except in the hiring practices to maintain the proportion of hires from different groups who were excellently qualified to compete for jobs. A decade ago I rather suddenly realized this as I looked at the groupings in the cafeteria, where people gravitated to tables where they were most comfortable with people from their own cultures, though in the offices there was a natural ease among employees, in contrast to the environment in 1981 which was generally artificial and uncomfortable.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (17 votes).
In short: Fantastic day I enjoyed every bit of it! I'm looking forward to next year, hopefully it's bigger better and harder! Every year has to be harder ha haDate of review: September 12, 2011
In short: Hellrunner is back to it's very bestIn full: This was my 3rd year of doing it, 2009 was very hard and approx 11 miles, 2010 was poor as advertised as 10-12 miles but was only 8 ish. So to do 11 miles this year and some parts through a new course was excellent, and refreshing. The bog's were deeper and the hills steeper. And rather than it being cold it was very warm which was challenging in itself. All runners were very chatty and everyone was helping each other through the bogs and up the hills. Another wather station would have been great, thats really the only bad thing i can say, and car parking this year was brilliant. And i got myself a red rubber ducky so won a prize! Well done Trail Plus for organising a great race...my favourite race of the year!Date of review: September 12, 2011
In short: brilliant organisation In full: had a mini bog of doom in the shower when i got homeDate of review: September 12, 2011
In short: Fantastic race!In full: This was my 1st Hellrunner experience and I wasnt disappointed! It was a really really fun race. Great mix of terrain, the bogs were insane - I doubt Ive ever smelled so bad! Finishing in the 'Bog of Doom' was hilarious!!I would certainly recommend wearing old clothes/shoes - optimally stuff that you could just throw away afterwards - your white shoes will never look the same again!!!Nice goodie-bag with good tech t-shirt.My only suggestion would be an extra water-station. 1 really didnt feel like enough and theres no way you can keep a water bottle clean going through the bogs....Over-all I loved it and would definitely do it again!Date of review: September 12, 2011
In short: Second time in HellIn full: 2009 I ran this race it was hard. Second time 2011, didn't disapoint! It was hard, Smelly, muddy... At one point we wanted to give up, but we carried on... So Glad we did now. This was harder (hills of hell were HELL) I even seen men cry. Im a softy road runner, but this race will be the making of you. One major grype.. MORE WATER STATIONS PLEASE. First and last one was at miles 7. Not good when you are about to collaps with dehydration. We heard a cheer when we approached the water station. Other than that, top race and we will be back for more Hell! Date of review: September 12, 2011
In short: Great race again, and better organised than last yearIn full: This was my second Hellrunner and I'm glad I came back for more! Much better idea having the races on separate days, it meant the course was longer so I felt that I got my money's worth! Parking was well organised this year too. It's a fun race with a great atmosphere, I wouldn't dare tackle it as a beginner because it is very tough and I regularly train on hills but there is a good mix of abilities so if you're brave enough I would highly recommend it. I intend to do it again next year!Date of review: September 12, 2011
In short: Top event In full: Well done for taking on board criticism from last year adn improving the event.Great way of handing out spot prizes, although does suit faster runners.Date of review: September 12, 2011

Incongruity In Our Government?
To The Readers Forum:
I read with interest the February 28, Jamestown Post-Journal Associated Press report on Governor Cuomo exempting television and movie use of "assault-type" weapons. The governor makes the point that, in particular, New York City has been a Mecca for movie producers seeking authentic sets on which to stage their film shoots. My wife and I have seen the preparations for these films while in the city. They often cover several blocks, require massive amounts of film props, wiring, support vehicles, and yes, employees. The cost of staging these shoots is substantial and the impact to the New York City economy undoubtedly high. One could make a supporting case for exempting movie use of "assault-type" weapons from the new law, but if our economic well being is our measure of exemption, shouldn't we consider the number of year-around, full-time manufacturing jobs that their elimination will jeopardize in New York? The carnage in human life that recent mass killings have affected is almost beyond imagination. I am a parent and cannot begin to comprehend the loss of child – especially in such a vile and thoughtless manner. That vileness and thoughtlessness is portrayed most graphically and heinously in the very movies that our governor now wants to support by his newest measure.
We, each of us, indoctrinate our youth by our actions – for good, or for evil. A gun, in and of itself is inert. I am not a psychologist but I would have to believe it conceivable that there could be more than a causal link between the glorification of individuals in movie or television shoot-outs and our most recent mass shootings. Should we rush to judgment and prohibit all movies portraying such actions? Unfortunately, the answer, for our governor would seem to become a measure of the "economic impact" of the movies to the city, the political influence of those involved in their making, and the potential impact on electability.
Governor Cuomo, if you are going to have the testicular fortitude to ban these weapons, violate our Second Amendment rights, and jeopardize hundreds of manufacturing jobs in New York State, have the guts to tell these right wing movie moguls NO.

What Is The State Of The Union?
To the Readers' Forum:
Is it the State of the people, seen in the eyes of the State? Or the State of the Union, seen in the eyes of the people that run it? What is the true State? Seen from the people that have to live it. They seem not to want to change the State, do they? I guess That is why the State, is in the State, that it is in.

Skip to comments.McCain Wants Watergate-Style To Probe Libya (Congressional Select Committee)
Posted on 11/14/2012 5:25:01 PM PST by drewh
Sen. John McCain is calling for establishment of a Watergate-style congressional committee to investigate the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
The Arizona Republican tells "CBS This Morning" he believes the unanswered questions surrounding events at Benghazi on Sept. 11 require such a select committee.
McCain accused the Obama administration of making misleading statements. He also said U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice went on national television and said incorrectly that the violence was the result of a demonstration against an anti-Muslim movie made in the United States. Asked if he'd stand in the way of any nomination of Rice as the next secretary of state, McCain replied, "She's not qualified."
He said Rice spoke "in defiance" of the facts in the case.

McCain is angling for the 2016 nomination.
McLame was one of the most vocal proponents for going into Libya in the first place.
Harry Reid will get right on this.
He's the right guy to take on the corruption of the Obamanation. McCain is the former darling of the LIB press whore (which confuses them) and he has nothing to prove at this point. If McCain is serious about this, he can be a guided missile.

No, I don't think so, because even he knows there's not a chance in a million that he'd get the nomination again. I think he actually may have had a flicker of conscience, and he's doing this precisely because he knows he has nothing left to lose. He's not going to be the GOP presidential candidate again, it's possible that he may not win his seat again or may retire, and I think perhaps he is really concerned about what Obama is doing.
What we really need is somebody with nothing left to lose, because believe me, anybody who opposes Obama is probably going to lose it all.
The Senate will whitewash this after a few days, and only the House GOP will investigate. The media will portray the investigation as a partisan witch hunt.
Good points, I agree.
A) I was joking. McCain is clearly too old to consider running for president in 2016. I know he's not thinking about that.
B) I believe that McCain is positioning himself for a future cave-in which will knock the legs out from under any Republican effort to damage Obama on this. At just the right time, McCain will make a deal and defend Obama when Obama needs it most. This is McCain's MO. He plays for the other side. I believe this 100%.
Started before the election, Nixon won anyway, but it never let up.
Let the drip-drip-dripping begin.
Caveat: 0bama never suffered any repercussions for warring in Libya without consent of Congress.. Except for Benghazi, of course. Now he'll 'walk' for that too..
I'm hoping McCain is doing this for the same reasons he always gave Bush a hard time — to feel powerful. No conscience or conviction. This will ensure that he pursues it to the end.
I was just very shocked to see NBC News covering this in their nightly report. Pretty truthfully too. That McCain is calling for watergate style hearings. I almost fell off my chair.
Any one who goes against this regime is ok with me.
I am having difficulty integrating the Mccain as guided missle into my thought process.
The difference is that the media is on Obama's side. They were not on Nixon's side.
media *are* — grammar correction
McCain plays for himself.
And, if he senses it will benefit him to stab his fellow Republicans in the back, he won't hesitate to do it.
McCain is not to be trusted.
So roll over and play dead. It's worked out so well so far.
Maybe the media are bored fawning over Obama with no Republicans to whip anymore.
I think there is hope in McCain wanting to show up a president....and as I posted above, the media being bored and looking for something to fill the pages with.
I think I may learn to speak Chinese..could come in handy.
I believe we may gain many new Chinese immigrants coming to collect their assets.
Oh, I don't believe in McCain.
Plus side-- Chinese will vote for capitalism.
I know exactly what you mean—but there is a difference here. I have never heard McCain speak with such conviction, without that phony, pasted grin he usually has. This is the first time I have believed anything he has said. I think the guy has some bottled-up rage that needs a target—and he may have found the perfect one.
Realize, however, nothing, absolutey nothing he says, or anyone else, will be given time of day by the media. Zero is the political arm of the media, and they will protect him 24/7
Maybe some in the media have suddenly discovered most of them won't be needed in a communist government, and will pose a "risk' to said government and need to be purged.
BFD. He'll get his ass handed to him like he always does when he "reaches across the aisle". He's posturing.
MCCAIN THE BUNKER BUSTER! We can only hope.
people here are missing the point.
what McCain is doing ...
force Obama to make an unpleasant choice.
ditch Rice, and Obama appears weak,
or appoint Rice as SOS, and
live with a SOS that is an international laughing stock
(whose legacy is already behind here)
"I think he (McCain) actually may have had a flicker of conscience, and hes doing this precisely because he knows he has nothing left to lose."
This guy has no conscience. Otherwise he would have been doing this before the election. Nothing more than McCain grandstanding again, so he can reach across the aisle later.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Think succession of command. I am for open hearings, Watergate style. A prayer the succession would be as in the Constitution. No aid to cover up anything as was done during Watergate. Am dreaming. Of course if it goes down, that is going to make people (many people) angrier than hades. Have fastened seat belt and strapped in children and grandchildren, though for this one, am doubtful there will be enough popcorn. Best go buy some sparklers too.
Americans may want to make certain the Right person is in the Speakers chair.
The media is the propaganda arm of the Communist Party. The Democrat Party is the public face of the Communist Party. The federal government of the United States is the political tool of the Communist Party.
