Mitsubishi HC6500 1080p 3LCD Home Theater Projector Review: Overview
Mitsubishi HC6500 Projector: Light Leakage
Click to Enlarge. So close. Nothing to concern yourself with here. There is a small amount of light leakage through the lens (no doubt varying depending on how much lens shift you use), and iris settings, as well. Even with white walls, you are unlikely to spot the leakage unless the screen image is essentially black, and probably wouldn't notice it anyway, unless looking for it.
The uniformity of the background was very good for a 3LCD projector. We sometimes find problems with early units (mostly pre-production, which this one wasn't). Here is a very long time exposure of the Mitsubishi on a black "scene". Stare hard, and you can see some slight color shifting, but not an issue at all during normal viewing:
Mitsubishi HC6500 Projector: Audible Noise Levels
The HC6500 joins their other 1080p projectors in claiming to be the quietest projectors on the market. I have to agree. Mitsubishi claims a record setting 17db in low power mode. Figure 3-6 more db at full power, and you still have a projector, at full power, that is quieter than half the projectors out their in low power.
In low power, the Mitsubishi is about as close to dead silent as exists today. Certainly their 17db claim is the lowest I have seen yet.
Mitsubishi HC6500 Projector: Screen Recommendations
Since the HC6500 projector has respectable black level performance, a high contrast gray surface is not needed. Still, having one of those screens will lower the overall black levels and provide blacker blacks than a white surface. I've watched the HC6500 on both my Carada Brilliant White surface, and my Firehawk G3 (high contrast gray). I prefer the Firehawk, as I like darker blacks, but the Carada – filling all 106″ diagonal, did fine overall. Your decisons will be in part determined by your screen size, and any ambient light issues you have in your room. Also factoring in, is the Mitsubishi's brightness. Since the HC6500 is not remarkably brighter in brightest mode, than best mode, those who will be doing a lot of mixed viewing – movies, general TV/HDTV, and sports, and especially those craving sports viewing, may want to stick with white surfaces, unless there's side ambient light, in which case the high contrast gray may provide a more watchable, less washed out image, despite being less bright.
If you really are going to be watching a lot of content, when you don't want the room really dark, you may want to consider a high gain screen, say 1.8 gain or a bit higher, although they provide a narrower viewing cone, and if sitting off to the side, even slightly, you are likely to see a modest brightness difference between the left and right side of the screen. While the HC6500 on my Firehawk, in best mode, darkest room, had no problem filling my screen with lumens, for my sports viewing, I reduced the size of the projected image from 128″ diagonal to roughly 110″ diagonal to satisfy my need for brightness and pop, while watching sports.
Mitsubishi HC6500 Projector: Measurements and Calibration
|10490K (try to find red, good luck)
|High Brightness
First, let's start with out of the box color temperature measurements for each Temp setting. Ideal is 6500K, although a little cooler (stronger blue than red), tends to be easier to watch when theres ambient light. Personally, I like around 7000K to 7500K for sports viewing when I've got my usual ambient light for daytime viewing:
|Here are our general settings that Mike came up with:
|-2 (0)
|3 (0)
|Color Temp
|Lamp Mode
|Standard (unless noted otherwise)
|0 (0)
|0 (0)
When switching to Low Lamp mode, color temp for Medium (the only one we checked in low lamp mode as well as full power) dropped by about 160K, not much, but worthy of note.
For calibration purposes, adjusting gamma should be done first, as different settings affects the color temperature (why?)
Zoom at mid-range, All other settings at default, numbers in () are default settings
The gamma controls don't have much range, and gamma always measured a bit on the low side (1.9 to 2.1, where ideal is 2.2). The difference between 2.1 and 2.2 is pretty negligible.
|White (100 IRE)
|Light gray (80 IRE)
|Medium gray (50 IRE)
|Low gray (30 IRE)
Since the Warm color temp is closest to ideal for movie viewing (without calibration) we measured these temperatures across the grayscale range:

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Saving money isn't all about whether or not you know how to score screaming bargains.It has more to do with your attitude toward money. Just think of those who don't fit the filthy-rich stereotype. People like Warren Buffett. As explained in the book The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko, personal finance has as much to do with people's traits as it does with money. Many millionaires, in fact, have frugal ways. Understanding how personal traits can influence your finances is an essential ingredient for building wealth. Here are 10 key traits:

Crunch Time in Iran
"Wait for what? Wait until when?" Israeili Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
This quotation, coupled with the evacuation of the Canadian embassy in Tehran, is a sign that the Israeli government has decided to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities soon, probably in October. Since these installations are well-defended, Israel will have to first eliminate Iran's air-defense system. Since Hezbollah is aligned with Iran and will retaliate against Israel for any attack on the Islamic Republic, Israel will also have to destroy Hezbollah rocket sites in southern Lebanon at the same time.
Can Israel achieve these objectives? Only someone with access to Israel's military secrets can even begin to answer this question. But Netanyahu has this information, and he would not take action unless prospects of success were favorable.
How will Iran respond? Iran has missiles capable of reaching Israel, armed with conventional warheads. I have no doubt that Israeli military planners intend to "take-out" Iranian command-and-control systems as part of a first strike, but if any missiles are not destroyed, they will be launched against Israel. However, Israel has the Iron Dome missile-defense system, provided by the US at the order of President Obama. I pray that it is 100% effective.
What will the United States do? President Barack Obama is vehemently opposed to an Israeli attack on Iran, but he cannot prevent it. He spoke with Netanyahu Tuesday night for about an hour, apparently without agreement. The PM offered to meet the President in late September when he visits the UN in New York, but it seems that Obama will not alter his campaign schedule to do so, but they may meet later in DC. From his latest statements on the subject, Netanyahu seems more concerned about a "red light" from the US than he is about Iranian air-defenses.
Older readers will recall that President Lyndon Johnson tried to dissuade Israel from launching the Six Day War in 1967; when Israel went ahead anyway, the US did nothing. Nasser blamed the US anyway, and our UN Ambassador Arthur Goldberg defended Israel's actions. This will be the template for American response to an Israeli attack on Iran: do nothing, deny involvement and later defend the action.
How will the war affect the United States? World oil and gasoline prices will skyrocket as soon as war begins. The effects will be devastating on both the US and Europe. If the US stands by Israel, as predicted above, US forces and diplomatic missions will be at great risk throughout the Middle East and in many other Muslim countries: Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan are all friends of Iran, and they can be expected to expel all American soldiers, contractors and diplomats. Anti-American fervor, which exploded this week over a crappy amateur film about Muhammad, will be devastating.
How would a war before November 6 affect the US election? Netanyahu wants Romney to win, but I suspect that Israeli intelligence services have told him that Obama will probably be re-elected. If he were confident of a Romney victory, he might hold off on attacking Iran until after the new president takes office on January 20, but Iranian defenses might be too strong by that time. If Netanyahu expects Obama to win, he would be smarter to start the war before the election, since Obama would not dare to repudiate Israel at that time, when the crucial Jewish vote could throw the election to the Republicans. A big spike in oil prices would be bad for Obama, since that would hurt virtually all Americans. But if the President can retain the Jewish vote by backing Israel, he could survive the oil shock. In that case it would look bad for Romney to try to exploit the crisis, since most Americans sympathize with Israel.
An Israeli strike on Iran before the election would put President Obama on the horns of a vicious dilemma: back Israel and antagonize the Arab and Muslim world, or denounce Israel and lose the presidency. My guess is that he will stand with Israel and win a second term.

ME304 Dynamics of Machinery Design Problem 1 Winter, 1998-1999 Grade
Your group is to design a baseball bat that is optimized for young children.
The purpose of a baseball bat is to store the energy supplied by a batter and then deliver that stored energy to a baseball. The amount of energy stored by a bat is given by Eq. 1,
, Eq 1
where I is the mass moment of inertia of the bat about the swing axis and v is the angular velocity of the bat. From Eq.1 it's apparent that an optimum bat design balances the need to have both a large mass moment of inertia, while not being so large that the batter is unable to produce an large angular velocity of the bat. Another characteristic of an optimum bat is that when a ball is struck with the sweet spot of the bat, the reaction force at the grip is very small. This is achieved by designing the bat so that the center of percussion is at the point of impact with the ball, and the center of rotation is located at the grip. This characteristic of an optimum bat is sometimes lost for young players when they are instructed to move their hand further up the grip (choking-up) on bats designed for older, stronger players. By choking-up on the bat, the player is able to effectively reduce the mass moment of inertia, I, so that a larger angular acceleration is possible. However the center of percussion will move for the new grip position. In an effort to explore this problem, your project is to determine the optimum bat design for children.
For the purposes of this project, children are differentiated from adults by the amount of torque they can apply about the swing axis. You are to design optimum bats for children of three different strengths, ones that can produce 5 ft-lb, 15 ft-lb, and 25 ft-lb of torque about the swing axis. Also for the purpose of this project, assume that the bat swings through an arc of 90 degrees in a plane that is parallel to the ground. The bat starts from rest, and has a constant torque applied about the swing axis (see Fig. 1) until the ball is struck.
Design Specifications:
Approximate the bat as two solid cylinders, a small cylinder for the handle and a cylinder with a larger diameter for the barrel where the ball is struck as shown in Fig. 1.
Figure 1
Bat Geometry and Nomenclature
The bat you design should satisfy the following design specifications

Even though I knew about him, I was pleasantly surprised when I found one

It was not supposed to be a campaign launch. But it looked a lot like a campaign launch.
Blow-dried television personalities did live studio crosses in front of a Labor-red backdrop.
The party faithful queued to get into the university auditorium, shuffling past the table where neck ties, ALP hoodies and, bizarrely, puddings-in-tubs were being sold to fund the actual campaign, the one supposed to begin in August.
It felt like a campaign launch. The tungsten stage lights burned hot and the MPs and ministers, everyone from Bob Carr to Jason Clare, and Michelle Rowland and David Bradbury in between, bounded about like excited puppies, kissing, back-slapping, smiling.
The Treasurer was treated as a celebrity, causing a minor bottle-neck in the aisle as the true believers swarmed to get a ''selfie'' with Swanny. As formal proceedings began, Swan rose, and with a kingly wave, accepted whoops and applause from the faithful. Confirmation this was friendly turf.
And boy, did it sound like a campaign launch. Upbeat pop music radiated from the speakers, a playlist that ranged from Stereophonics to Madonna.
NSW ALP general-secretary Sam Dastyari, the baby-faced faceless man with the just-broken voice of a pop idol, pepped the crowd for the PM. ''Everybody out there who wants to write that Labor's dead in the western suburbs, they should come and see this,'' he told them to rowdy cheers.
Then there was Clare, member for Blaxland and poster-boy of the west, who shouted to the favourite sons and daughters of the region - Michael Clarke, the Waugh brothers, Betty Cuthbert, Toni Collette.
Here, he said, was a Labor PM made of the same stuff as the people of western Sydney - toughness.
And then, there she was: soberly dressed in a navy suit, striding to the stage where she told the people that she was from the west, too, a lot further west and further south than here, and certainly nowhere near the ''north shore or the east''.
''I understand a region's yearning for recognition and respect,'' the Prime Minister said.
''Being from the west should never be viewed as second-rate.''
Michael and Diana Beacroft, 51 years married, sat in the eighth row. Mr Beacroft has been an ALP member for more than 50 years and his wife ''only 30 or 40''.
''I think she's brilliant,'' Mrs Beacroft said of the Prime Minister. ''I wrote her a letter that said, 'Margaret Thatcher is called the Iron Lady. There's no metal strong enough for you.'''
After prolonged applause, the PM left the stage for her Comcar and headed west to Rooty Hill for the week. If not to campaign, then to have her mettle tested.

And what comments they left. After the predictable spankings over being such copyright cretins, Cooks Source was then ironically accused of every atrocity known to mankind, including shooting JFK, telling the Nazis where to find Anne Frank, hiding Osama Bin Laden, killing Dumbledore, canceling "Arrested Development," eating the insides out of each Oreo cookie before putting them back in the box, and creating "A Very Brady Christmas." The piling on was impressive, often hilarious, and a little frightening.
As is now the custom, fake Facebook pages began to spring up, alongside bogus Twitter accounts. It soon became impossible to tell the fake Cooks Source/Griggs from the real one. The irony was so thick you could cut it with a broadsword.
That in turn, earned Cooks Source a lot of free-yet-unwelcome publicity on CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, NPR, and, of course, here. The incident now has its own Wikipedia entry.
But the Webosphere was far from done with Griggs or Cooks Source. If the magazine stole this woman's blog post, the reasoning went, surely they've stolen other articles. So in a neat bit of crowdsourcing, someone started a Google Docs spreadsheet to keep track of all the other pieces Cooks Source republished from the "public domain" over the past few years and shared it with the world. The article count is currently at 161, including posts that originally appeared on websites for NPR, WebMD, Food Network, Weight Watchers, and Oprah Magazine.
Yes, they even defied Oprah. No one can help them now. Mockery is one thing; now we're talking lawyers. I'd expect the USPS carrier servicing the magazine's Sunderland, Mass., offices will be getting a hernia from all the cease-and-desist letters he'll be hauling.
Bloggers have apparently also contacted most if not all of the magazine's local advertisers, informing them of the scandal. It will be interesting to see if the publication survives. I seriously doubt it will.
And if not, Cooks Source' staff has no one to blame but themselves. Griggs hit all the wrong notes at once: She's egregiously in error, yet totally arrogant about it. She clearly has no clue about a wide range of topics, including publishing, public domain laws, and Facebook. She touched on a sore spot with a lot of Netizens -- the rampant theft of intellectual property on the Web (at least, when it comes to their own intellectual property). And though she offered up a tepid apology to Gaudio on Facebook, Griggs has yet to publicly acknowledge she's 100 percent mistaken about what she can and can't do with other people's copy.
Also: We'd gone three whole days without a single rumor about an Apple product, so people had a lot of time on their hands.
While this wasn't necessarily much ado about nothing, it was clearly too much ado about too little. Still, as the BP oil spill and other Net memes demonstrate, this is the new Way of the InterWebs: When confronted with gross stupidity or extreme malfeasance, apply large doses of irony. It does nothing to abate the stupidity or bring the malefactors to justice, but it's mighty entertaining.
Has Cooks Source been treated fairly? Post your thoughts below or email me: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bishop McLaughlin right-handed pitcher/first baseman Nate Pearson missed most of his junior season with a broken right arm. But that didn't keep college scouts away. Despite playing only eight games last season, Pearson committed to Florida International.
"He actually had several offers,'' Hurricanes coach Jeff Swymer said. "We made sure he rehabbed during the season. We limited his throwing and he was mostly a DH for us. Next season we expect him to be our No. 1 (starter).''
Pearson had only 25 plate appearances for the Hurricanes. He hit .286 with a double and a triple. As a sophomore, Pearson was 3-1 with a 1.42 ERA.
Swymer said Pearson has spent the summer playing for the Score International travel team, where he has caught the attention of local scouts.

U.K. Commercial Property Values Rise for Sixth Straight Month
U.K. commercial real estate values rose for the sixth straight month in October as the economic recovery gained pace, Investment Property Databank Ltd. said.
The average value of stores, offices and industrial properties climbed 0.6 percent from a month earlier, London-based IPD said in a statement today. Total return, which combines changes in real estate values and rental income, was 1.1 percent.
The U.K.'s jobless rate declined to 7.6 percent in the third quarter, the lowest since 2009. British services growth rose at the fastest pace in 16 years in October and manufacturing and construction also expanded last month, Markit Economics said Nov. 5.
"Returns are continuing to rise around the U.K. as economic growth flows out of London," Phil Tily, an IPD managing director, said in the statement. "Office returns in the South East outpaced those of central London, while industrial units around the country are seeing stable growth as investor sentiment improves."
Office buildings had a 0.9 percent gain in October and warehouse values climbed 0.8 percent, according to IPD. The average value of retail properties rose by 0.3 percent.
Income-producing commercial properties lost value for 17 straight months through March and were unchanged in April.

As reported here yesterday, Dutch police served a European warrant issued by the French judge on Nylander as he arrived at Amsterdam's Schipol airport. The warrant was based on 19th Century French protectionist laws with the arrest creating international furore that included criticism from the European Commission.
The incident has caused red faces in a French Government currently trying to negotiate a rapprochement on online gambling with European Union officials with the Budget Ministry stating that it regretted the timing of Nylander's arrest and hoped that Française Des Jeux, the French lottery monopoly, and PMU, the monopoly that governs betting on horses, would drop their original complaints that had started the case against Unibet.
'We just want this circus to end as soon as possible,' said Ewout Keuleers, the Belgian lawyer for Nylander.
'It is disproportionate to try to enforce a criminal case against Mr Nylander.'
"We are doing nothing illegal because we have a licence for Britain," said Nylander before his arrest. "According to the European rules, if you have a licence for one member state you are authorised to use it in the others."

FLOYD MAYWEATHER Vs 50 CENT: BEEF (PLUS AUDIO FROM FLOYD)
Floyd Mayweather has a message for 50 Cent, Charlamange Tha God and anyone else who questions his literacy: Read these checks.
On the heels of 50's questioning Mayweather's ability to read The Cat in the Hat and Charlamange playing a clip of the boxer struggling to read a promo for Power 105.1 in New York, Mayweather posted pictures on Instagram of two checks he's received from Golden Boy Productions for more than $72 million. The pictures were captioned, "Read this $72,276,000.00. God bless."
For his part, 50 still wasn't impressed. He tweeted, "I guess you want people to see your math is better then your reading... You put up a check. That must be for a blogger. You know I got money."
Charlamange says he was surprised that some people were upset with him for airing the audio. "How you watch a man get beheaded this week with no problem but the audio of Mayweather reading makes you uncomfortable?"

OK…the first thing I need to say is that my wife is smart. 4.0 out of highschool, 3.9 out of college smart. She can assemble IKEA furniture in her sleep and she does Suduko puzzles to relax. Also, I consider myself to be reasonably smart but I know she's way smarter than me (apptitude tests at our former employer proved it, too)…but she's nice enough to not mention it.

With the GoogleScreenSaver, you can pick and choose directories of images or just specify all your images and then the screen saver randomizes all your images, puts borders on them so they look like old prints and starts throwing the pictures on your desktop in different sizes and angles so that it looks like a table covered in your favorite photos.

This is photo software that even the least organized shutterbug will love. The first, and I think ultimately best, feature of Picasa is that it scans your hard drive (once, or every time you start the program) to hunt down photos wherever you may have stashed them. It then organizes them by folder and by year, so no matter how disorganized your hard disk may be, you'll never know it by looking at your photo library in Picasa. There are also built-in backup utilities so you can be sure your photos are saved to another drive or burned to disk.
Once Picasa has scanned your drive and found all your pictures, you'll be treated to a beautiful, easy-to-use interface that lets you easily scroll through your photos in many ways: thumbnails, full-screen galleries, and even in a cool 'timeline' layout. You can enhance and correct images, too – there's even a great 'I'm feeling lucky' option that auto-corrects the image. I had pretty good luck with it, but it won't work on every on (much like the 'auto levels' feature in Photoshop if you're familiar). Read the rest of this entry »

White House (CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama is "quite comfortable" with the prospect of being a one-term president in order to address the issues he is concerned about, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday.
The comment came on the same day the president's approval reached a new low, with only a 45 percent approval rating in the Zogby International poll released Friday. The poll said that 51 percent disapprove of the president's job performance. The Real Clear Politics average of all polls puts the president approval rating at 52.2 percent.
Gibbs was addressing a question about a comment made by Rep. Leonard Boswell (D-Iowa), who said the president told him he is willing to risk a second term to get a health care overhaul bill approved.
Gibbs said that would be true of most issues.
"I don't know that I've specifically heard him on health care," said Gibbs, "but I have heard the president say that if making tough decisions in getting important things done that Washington has failed to do for decades means that he only lives in this house and makes those decisions for four years, he's quite comfortable," Gibbs told reporters at the White House press briefing.
"The way he approaches this issue, the economy, Afghanistan and Iraq, any of these issues is not in a mode of self preservation, but in a mode of how best -- given all the information out there-- how best to make decisions that he thinks is in the best interest of the American people, not what's in the best interest of his personal career," Gibbs said.
This approach could be viewed as political courage. But critics of the president view it as reason for concern that he will push a transformational agenda with little incentive for pragmatism.
That was the prediction of Dick Morris, co-author of Catastrophe, a book (June 2009) critical of Obama's agenda. Morris was a top adviser to Democratic President Bill Clinton, who moved to the center to win a second term. Obama will not take that route, Morris predicted.
Obama is willing to be a one-term president "to complete a socialist takeover of the United States" before his popularity runs out, said Morris.
"The president's willingness to go down with the ship can scarcely be comforting to congressmen and senators who want to live in Washington a little longer," Morris told CNSNews.com.
"His collapse in favorability is doing more to undermine his health care package, and the House and Senate realize they don't have a popular president for cover," Morris continued. "The assumption of self sacrifice to achieve legislative progress is ridiculous."
Nonetheless, Morris thinks the Senate Democrats will use a procedural measure called reconciliation to allow the health overhaul legislation to pass with just 51 votes instead of the usual 60 that are needed.
The bill, which critics say undermines Medicare, could shift senior citizen voters to Republicans – a constituency that has usually been reliably Democratic.
"Democrats could permanently lose the elderly vote that was built under FDR and LBJ," Morris said. "That would be a seismic shift."
Boswell, the Iowa congressman, told a radio station in Iowa that Obama personally told him that he would stake his presidency on health care reform.
Boswell, as Salon.com reported, said the president told him that "he's willing to be a one-term president if that's what it takes to get health care and energy reform."
The congressman quoted the president saying, "I'm not going to kick the can down the road .... If it makes me a one-term president, I'm going to, we're going to take it on because the country is in need of us taking this on."

Obama: "Brass-knuckled, pipe-hitting brawler"
posted at 10:21 am on May 29, 2012 by Libby Sternberg
Here's the Cliffs Notes version of John Heilemann's 7,000-word New York Magazine article on the 2012 Obama campaign:
- 2008 is not 2012.
- Obama's campaign will focus on Mitt Romney's record at Bain and in Massachusetts.
- It's going to get nasty.
- Obama's campaign managers like to use expletives…in every effing sentence, man.
The Obama team, writes Heilemann, will try to focus on certain demographic groups the president won big in '08 – "minorities, (especially Latinos), socially liberal college-educated whites (especially women), and young voters."
In other words, the president's team will seek to motivate and deepen his base, rather than reaching out and expanding on it. This explains his "evolution" on the issue of gay marriage—at least two of those three demographics are with him on that issue.
It also explains his class warfare rhetoric and the attacks on Bain Capital. The team is probably trying to exploit any resentments minorities and young voters (looking, unsuccessfully, for employment) might have against "Wall Street" and large corporations in general.
Even as Democratic supporters shook their heads over the Obama team's attacks on Romney's experience at private equity firm Bain Capital, the public at large was saying "Bain who?"
More than 50 percent of those surveyed in a WSJ/NBC poll didn't have any opinion at all on Bain, meaning it could very well be fertile material for the president's team to use. "The electorate is a long way from making up its mind" about Bain and Romney's involvement in it, says Politico writer Alexander Burns, which could be one reason the Obama team won't necessarily drop this theme, despite criticism from allies.
The Bain ads, in fact, might just be the trailer for the campaign to come—a rock 'em/sock 'em action flick filled with negativity, negative exaggerations and…even negative flat-out falsehoods.
Don't take my word for it, though. Here's David Plouffe of the Obama campaign, quoted in John Heilemann's article:
"We're gonna say, 'Let's be clear what (Romney) would do as president…Potentially abortion will be criminalized. Women will be denied contraceptive services. He's far right on immigration. He supports efforts to amend the Constitution to ban gay marriage."
Hey, why stop there, David P.? Why not suggest that Romney will take away women's vote, criminalize homosexuality, and not just deport illegal immigrants but execute them? I can hear the ominous campaign ad music right now.
Heilemann goes on to report that hope-and-change will be replaced by fear this time around because the Obama campaign believes the Republican/Romney agenda is a frightening prospect for America. Says Heilemann:
For anyone still starry-eyed about Obama, the months ahead will provide a bracing revelation about what he truly is: not a savior, not a saint, not a man above the fray, but a brass-knuckled, pipe-hitting, red-in-tooth-and-claw brawler determined to do what is necessary to stay in power—in other words, a politician.
Which leads to an interesting question, one several of my family members and I pondered during Memorial Day festivities: what acts of desperation will Obama's teams perpetrate if things are close or not going well come the fall?
My first thought was a reverse-psychology blow, perhaps encouraging some unnamed billionaire to run a tasteless, unsavory attack (maybe something with a whiff of racism?)…on Obama, so that the president could play the victim and point his finger at the disgusting right-wingers who want to remove him from the Oval Office.
Think that's crazy? In Heilemann's article, the Obama campaign was licking its chops at the prospect of super-PAC ads featuring Jeremiah Wright.
"Our reaction was, 'F***ing bring it on!'" said one Obama campaign veteran in the article. "It let us raise some righteous indignation in our base…and go to African-American leaders and say, 'Hey, you need to get out there! Threaten boycott against TD Bank!'"
Other family suggested that a fall surprise might include digging up something from Romney's past—no matter how tangential (after all, the Bain attacks feature events that took place after Romney had left Bain)—about illegal immigrant abuse and/or employment.
Whatever happens, the Romney campaign won't be able to count on mainstream media to help voters sort fact from fiction. After all, this was the same crew that questioned Sarah Palin's intelligence and qualifications while giving good ole boy Joe Biden a pass (he was a guy, a Democrat, and had been around a long time – so, numerous gaffes and policy blunders didn't signify a thing, right?).
The Obama team had it relatively easy in 2008. John McCain didn't excite Republicans. People were tired of the Bush years and everything they associated with him—from the wars to economic policies—and Obama represented a blank canvas upon which voters could paint their own particular hope and faith in this country. This year will be harder since the canvas is now filled with other pictures—a still-foundering economy, global unrest and partisan politics in all its glory (I don't write that sarcastically).
Speculation abounds about how smart the Obama campaign really is. But it sounds as if they intend to substitute nasty for smarts, if their smarts aren't up to the job. I hope the Romney team is prepared.

Yes, I know it's fall. Yes, I know I fell behind on swatching. Yes, I know these were limited edition.
No, I don't know the winning lotto numbers. I can't possibly know everything, right?
The shades I have to show you are Blue Hawaiian, Purple Freeze and Orange Oasis.
Blue Hawaiian:
BH is a light sky blue creme. It applied a little unevenly, but wasn't terrible to work with.
Purple Freeze:
PF is a soft lavender with pinkish tones. On lighter skin it would look more like a true lavender. This was fairly easy to work with.
Orange Oasis:
OO is a bright juicy orange shade. Whenever I see this color I think of orange popsicles. 🙂 It wasn't as opaque as I had hoped for (visible nail line).
I still see bottles of these in NYC drugstores, namely CVS and Rite Aid. Will you pick up a couple of shades?

Yes, I don't really want #%top per se. My scenario is to "alias" an imported id (i.e. not something privately defined by the module) and it looks more like below: > (module foo mzscheme (define bar (lambda (x) x)) (provide bar)) > (begin (require (prefix baz: foo)) (define bar baz:bar)) > baz:bar #<procedure:bar> > bar #<procedure:bar> Aliasing allow me to "trace" and set over the alias ( http://list.cs.brown.edu/pipermail/plt-scheme/2007-March/016927.html). So I extracted the exported variables for a module ( http://list.cs.brown.edu/pipermail/plt-scheme/2003-November/003698.html) and attempt to do write a macro that would automatically alias them, but all of the variables gets expanded to (#%top . variable) form, while if I manually write it out like above, it is "ok". Reading the manual it says that unbound variables would automatically gets expanded to (#%top . var) form. Anyway to prevent it from expanding to the form?

New Book, PRESIDENTIAL PARALLELS, Reveals Extraordinary Presidential Coincidences
3. This president's child, who was a twin, was married in Philadelphia during the president's second term. Although George W. Bush is the only president who has ever fathered twins, he is not the answer!
4. This man was both appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court and elected president. William Howard Taft is the only person to have ever served in both positions, but he is not the answer!
5. This twentieth-century president was the first to have an airport named after him in Washington, DC, but the answer is not Ronald Reagan!
The answers to these five questions are found in Presidential Parallels: What Our Presidents Had in Common, and Didn't!along with the answers to twenty-six other equally tantalizing puzzlers. Included too is an astounding variety of strange, weird and downright bizarre presidential facts, presidential history and presidential anecdotes as well as presidential flukes and quirks.

Russian chocolate companies eye Missouri black walnuts
Missouri's director of agriculture is enthused about the potential of exporting Missouri farm products to Russia. Dr. Jon Hagler, on a trade mission with the USDA, told Missouri reporters Wednesday about two Russian chocolate companies that are considering adding a Missouri product to their ingredient list.
"Both of those companies were extraordinarily interested in the black walnut as a potential in their chocolate," said Hagler, speaking from St. Petersburg, Russia. "They had a high level of interest in not only our native pecan, but particularly our walnuts and our black walnuts, so there's one opportunity I see right off the bat."
In addition, Hagler says Russia can benefit from Missouri animal genetics, as well as moderately priced Missouri wines.
"Whether it'd be in the beef sector or swine or whether it would be in wine or nuts, or you can go right on down the line," said Hagler, "those products, American companies, in particular Missouri has a lot to offer in the way of those products that we want to make sure that we have every opportunity to get those right here [in Russia] on consumer shelves."
The trip will have been a success if doubters are convinced that doing business with Russia is not as daunting as some think it is, Hagler told Brownfield during the call.
"Having a delegation of government leaders and business leaders like this gives you an opportunity to put eyes in, make the right kind of contacts, make direct contacts," he said, "contacts that are interested in the products so they can help facilitate and negotiate that difficult transition that sometimes occurs when you move from just dealing with domestic sales versus international sales."
Hagler is part of a larger delegation of state directors of agriculture and businessmen traveling with USDA Undersecretary Michael Scuse, who is leading the mission.

text: SALEM, Va. Maybe its that theyre beginning to peak at the right time of the season. Or maybe Donna Newberry and her Lady Muskies took serious offense at being shafted by the NCAA after winning the Ohio Athletic Conference Tournament last weekend. It could be that they wanted to send a message to the host school that the 2004 Regional Tournament is theirs to win. Who knows, maybe someone filled the Gatorade cooler in the dugout with oil and vinegar.Whatever reason one can come up with, its obvious that the Muskingum College Lady Muskies are exactly what the little girl in Poltergeist said ... theyre baaaaaaack!On Saturday evening at the James I. Moyer complex, Muskingum turned in its second impressive outing in as many days as the Lady Muskies rolled No. 2 seed Roanoke, 12-0, in five innings. With the win, Muskingum, which has won 25 games in a row, is one win away from reaching its third World Series berth in four years.Muskingum (37-5) took control of things in the bottom of the first inning by scoring 10 runs on eight hits as 14 batters went to the plate. Senior Erin Zupko (Girard-Liberty) drew a one-out walk to start the inning. Junior Nicole Blubaugh (New Lexington) and senior Shauna Jellison (Zanesville-Maysville) followed with back-to-back singles. Sophomore Lindsay Bramhall (Dayton-Vandalia Butler) then delivered the first big blow as she belted a grand slam over the left field fence.The Lady Muskies went on to plate six more runs, which included consecutive RBI doubles by Zupko, Jellison and Blubaugh.In the fourth inning, Blubaugh ripped a leadoff single to left and former Meadowbrook High standout Ashley Carpenter was inserted as a pinch runner for her. Moments later, senior Jennifer Feldkircher (Westlake-Magnificat) drew a walk. A single to right field by senior Jeanna Rayman (North Huntington, Pa.-Norwin) loaded the bases. After a flyout, senior Erin Calabrese (North Royalton) ripped a two-run double to left, plating Carpenter and Feldkircher and giving Muskingum the 12-0 lead.Sophomore Erica Hoyt (Tipp City-Bethel) struck out two in two innings of work. Freshman Andrea Crow (Copley) fanned one and walked none in three innings of relief.Emily Rackley was handed the loss.Blubaugh finished with two singles, a double, an RBI and run scored. Jellison added a single, double, RBI and two runs; Rayman had two singles and a run; Bramhall had a grand slam, four RBI and a run; and Zupko added a double, three RBI and two runs.In other games on Saturday: The Sewanee (Tenn.) Lady Tigers eliminated Bethany (W.Va.) from regional competition on Garrett Marquardts RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, clinching a 2-1 decision. Amy Owensby spun a one-hitter a single to Bethanys Emily Patton and finished with seven Ks and one walk. Anigie DeSantis fanned three and gave up a free pass for Bethany (29-15). Emory (Ga.) kept its World Series hopes alive by posted a 4-0 victory over Averett (Va.) in the losers bracket. Three hits and a walk in the top of the first helped the Lady Eagles take a 2-0 lead and they cruised from there. Christine OBrien threw a three-hitter to record the win. She fanned three and walked three. Emily Sunshine led Emory with two singles, an RBI and a run. Brittany Estep struck out three and walked six in the loss. Jessi Moss led the Lady Cougars (20-22) with a pair of singles.On Friday, the Lady Muskies began their quest to the World Series in Salem by besting postseason nemesis Bethany, 6-0.A pair of consecutive hits a double down the left field line by Bramhall, a single to right by senior Jennifer Shay (Stow) in the bottom of the second put Muskingum in business.Rayman then singled through the left side to put the Lady Muskies on top, 1-0.Muskingum added a second run in the fifth as freshman Kim Tackett (Canal Winchester-Whitehall) doubled to right-center to start things. A sacrifice bunt by junior April Rader (Bucyrus-Colonel Crawford) moved Tackett to third. Zupko then hit a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Tackett and giving the Lady Muskies a 2-0 edge.The Lady Muskies put the game away in the fifth with a four spot. Shay hit a leadoff single up the middle, Rayman singled to third and Feldkircher sacrificed to advance the runners. Freshman Amy Iammarino (Mantua-Crestwood) then smoked a two-ruin double to right-center. Moments later, Zupko blasted a homer to left-center to give Muskingum a 6-0 lead.Hoyt recorded the win for the top-seeded Lady Muskies. She gave up three hits while striking out 11, including getting the side looking in the fifth. Hoyt allowed no walks.Rayman finished with two singles, an RBI and run. Bramhall added a single, double an run; Jellison had a single and double; Shay had two singles and a run; and Blubaugh had two singles.Romney Waters (22-5) took the loss for Bethany.

Waters, Emily Patton and Heather Bainey each had a single for the Lady Bison.In other games on Friday: Bethany scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to defeat Averett, 2-0, in the tournament lidlifter. Leslie Lopez RBI triple was the big blow. Waters earned the win, fanning three and walking none. Heather Mull struck out two and walked two in the loss. Emorys Sarah Morse hit an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning to score Betsy Bruinsma and give the Lady Eagles a 1-0 victory over Sewanee. OBrien recorded four Ks and walked none. Owensby was dealt the setback. She finished with three Ks and three walks. Kristen White had three singles for the Lady Tigers. The No. 2 seeded Roanoke (Va.) Lady Maroons fended off a late rally by Emory to post a 4-3 victory in Game Four. Amy Alexanders three singles, RBI and run scored paced Roanoke. Amy Gillis earned the win while Emily Rackley got the save. Nicole Kovski struck out four in the loss. Mary Nicol had two single and an RBI for the Lady Eagles.NEXTMuskingum will play in the championship game today against the winner of the Roanoke/Sewanee-Emory contest. If the Lady Muskies would happen to lose today, there will be a second championship game on Monday.

In terms of actual gameplay I'd say that my favorites were Galactic Civilization and MoO 1. In terms of coolness factor and capturing the imagination though, my favorite was definitely MoO 2. However poor balance, bugs, and awful AI kept it from being that high in actual gameplay fun for me.
I could never get into SoTS that much, and I think part of it was just the combat which I didn't enjoy that much. It was neither fast and efficient like GalCiv nor fun and tactical MoO.

Levi and Amla seal crushing Proteas victory
Richard Levi and Hashim Amla helped South Africa romp to a crushing ten wicket victory to get their t20 World Cup campaign off to the perfect start against Zimbabwe at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota.
Faced with a victory target of 94, Levi (50) and Amla (32) made light work of Zimbabwes bowlers to seal victory with seven overs to spare to knock Brendan Taylors side out of the tournament after another poor performance.
Jaques Kallis (4-15) led the way with four wickets as the South African seamers tore through a weak Zimbabwean batting line up to leave the Proteas needing to chase a total of just 93-8.
Having been put into bat by AB de Villiers, Zimbabwe lost Vusi Sibanda (0) and Taylor (4) inside the opening three overs as the Proteas took control of the match early on.
Hamilton Masakadza (6) quickly followed and by the time Kallis picked up two wickets in the space of two deliveries in the 11th over Zimbabwe had slumped to 51-5 in a game they had to win in order to remain in the tournament.
With wickets falling around him Craig Ervine offered the most resistant but even his cameo of 37 wont be enough to stop South Africa claiming their first victory in the group stages.

"Never mind not increasing fuel duty, the chancellor should have cut it by 3p a litre. That would certainly help get the economy moving again," said Jerry Stewart, a director of Eagle Couriers, Scotland's largest independent courier company, in response to the autumn statement.
His company spends around £485,000 before VAT is added to its annual fuel bill, and would have been paying an extra £12,500 a year had the 3p a litre increase gone ahead as planned.
"Obviously I'm pleased that the chancellor has had enough sense to halt the duty increase that was due in January. To have pressed ahead would have been very hard on businesses struggling with already high fuel bills. However, I'd ask why he doesn't go a bit further. There's plenty of evidence to suggest a cut at the pumps might be just the thing to give the economy a boost," he said.
His company, which was established in central Scotland in 1985 doing same-day deliveries all over the UK, has seen its fuel bill for its 90 vehicles – mostly small and Transit-sized vans – rise substantially in recent years. He said the rates he was able to charge customers had not risen at the same pace. "Many of our contracts are negotiated months and even years in advance. When the fuel prices go up, we have to absorb much of that extra cost. We have no choice."
He said the firm's drivers were under strict instructions to keep the cost of fuel down and were told to use the supermarket refuelling sites first, as "they tend to be a bit cheaper". The company even runs an electric bike for local deliveries to keep down the fuel bill, which accounts for a quarter of the company's total costs.
He said the chancellor should be looking at how high fuel costs impacted on the wider economy, and considering reducing the tax take. "It could be the thing that moves us back into growth," he said.

Coach MANDY LEATHER COURIER
What do you do when you want to make a handbag statement without copying an Olsen twin? According to Hollywood's hippest, you reach for a Coach Legacy. These bags are their highest-end, made with butter-soft leather and crafted like a fashion line, with different looks in the same theme. This year's crop comes in rich tobacco browns, with shots of white, pale blue and black, and offers a style for every starlet - Teri Hatcher likes the white stuff, while Vanessa Minillo matches her brown Legacy bag to her boots. These bags aren't cheap (online offerings range from $250 to $800), but the style is just distinctive enough to add a punch of panache to your wardrobe, and the lines are classic enough that you'll get plenty of wear out of these little splurges. I'm coveting the Mandy satchel - the most expensive thing in the shop, of course, but it has buckles - how can I resist?

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 22.0314 Tuesday, 29 November 2011
Date: November 28, 2011 11:47:01 PM EST
Subject: Hamlet
[Richard Waugaman writes: Updike writes, for example, "Several Shakespeare commentaries, especially one by the Spanish thinker Salvador de Madariaga, helped me see that Hamlet is in fact the callous, egocentric villain of Hamlet." By contrast, "I love Gertrude, and always have."]
I long to read it. For the death of Ophelia, I can't pardon him. Polonius was a meddling fool, but it was a rash act to stab him with unseeing hand. And his stumbling, protracted revenge results also in the death of his mother and 3 unwitting tools of Claudius, not to mention the loss of the kingdom.
How could he have done worse, in the situation?

Worgan, S.F. and Moore, R.K. (2011) Towards the detection of social dominance in dialogue. Speech Communication, 53 (9-10). pp. 1104-1114. ISSN 0167-6393
When developing human computer conversational systems the complex co-acting processes of human human dialogue present a significant challenge. Para-linguistic features establish rapport between individuals and direct the conversation in directions that cannot be captured by semantic analysis alone. This paper attempts to address part of this challenge by considering the role of para-linguistic features in establishing and manipulating social dominance. We propose that social dominance can be understood as an interaction affordance, revealing action potentials for each signalling participant, and can be detected as a feature of rapport not of the individual. An analysis of F0 and long-term averaged spectra (LTAS) correlation values for conversational pairs reveals a high degree of accommodation. The nature of this accommodation demonstrates that others will adjust their speech to match the current dominant individual. We conclude by exploring the implications of these results on the role of rapport and outline potential advances for the detection of emotion in speech by encompassing the entirety of pleasure-arousal-dominance emotional space.

"When celebrating the harvest, pour a libation to the Gods before you eat (Censorinus, De Die Natali 1.8-10)." Any activity may be transformed into a ritual, and ritual can be transformative of your normal activities. It is simply a matter of putting your activities into a ritual context. Upon waking we address our Lares, maybe by offering some incense and lighting a candle or lamp for them. Then we go about our usual morning routine, cleaning and dressing for the day, adding in … [Read more...]
Life in Ritual Context
Dancing the Sacred Way
Some years ago, an old woman came up to me, handed me two pennies, and said, "Go to Rome." Then last summer, on my first visit to Rome, I found myself with Livia dancing along the Sacra Via.There was the aura of Rome's past glories, the romance of its ruins, and its monuments of the history and culture of the Eternal City. As the name implies, the Sacra Via passes along some of the holiest sites of Roma antica. By the end of Numa Pompilius' reign, there stood the Temple of Vesta, the House o … [Read more...]
Odds and Evens
"When you sacrifice to the celestial Gods," Numa said, "let it be with an odd number; when to the terrestrial, with even."Roman rituals are performed for a multiplicity of deities. There are three main categories of deities in our rituals – celestial Gods and Goddesses, terrestrial, and infernal. In performing ritual we have many differences to observe depending on which category of Gods are invoked. Never should a ritual invoke deities from different categories. The celestial deities are the … [Read more...]
Numa Pompilius developed rituals for Rome that were complex and difficult to perform, but not expensive. In this way he promoted reverence among the Romans without barring even the poorest from worshiping the Gods. "He gave (the pontifex) full solemn written instructions about the ceremonies, specifying for each sacrifice the proper offerings, the proper days and the proper temples and the way in which money should be raised to meet the expenses (Livy 1.20.5-6)."Today we can get some idea of … [Read more...]
Numa and Mola Salsa in Roman Ritual
Thirdly we come to a Postumnian Law that instructs us, "No sacrifices shall be performed without meal."This refers to what we call mola salsa in Latin. It is the product of an ancient method of preparing far, a type of winter wheat. Pliny the Elder tells us a couple things about the process. In one place he says, "Numa first established the custom of offering grain to the Gods, and of propitiating them with mola salsa; he was the first, too, as we learn from Hemina, to parch spelt, from … [Read more...]
Discussing Sacrifice in the Bhagavad-Gita
The other night Rita and I were discussing a passage from the Bhagavad Gita on sacrifice. My wife was raised in the Roman Catholic faith, attended Catholic schools, and still attends their services on occasion. She was confused at first on hearing the passage, because the Vedic view of sacrifice differs so greatly from what she had been taught is sacrifice. For her, sacrifice is about depriving yourself of something you enjoy, or doing something extra like saying additional prayers, novenas, or … [Read more...]
Sacrifice in the Numa Tradition
The Second Postumnian Law states: "Sacrifices are not to be celebrated with an effusion of blood, but consist of flour, wine, and the least costly offerings."On this point the Numa Tradition is clear; it prohibits the use of immolations (L. pl. immolationes), and most specifically in the cultus for Vesta, Fides, Carmentis, Jupiter Elicitor, and Terminus. Immolationes are also prohibited in the worship of Feronia, for the Bona Dea and in rituals for several other Gods and Goddesses too num … [Read more...]

For a long time the "ECHO Max" resonance sorters have found steady application into nuts working process (hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, apricot kernels, pistachios, etc.) revolutionizing their traditional working process. ECHO Max offers an unequalled efficiency-price ration if compared to IR, Laser or RX sorting technologies.
Foreign bodies inspection device is based on the distinct resonance produced by each element. The frequency developed by shelled fruits is different from the one emitted by shells, unshelled or partially shelled fruits, stones, glass cullet and metals; this allows the sorter software to detect them and to activate pneumatic ejectors to sort out any non-conforming material.
Operation:The product to sort is fed into the loading hopper, from which it's poured onto the vibrating distribution plate. Thanks to its vibration, product advances until it reaches the open end and falls downwards guided by the sloping channel. As it leaves the delivery channel, product individually collides with the resonance detector. The sensors deliver a signal which is processed by the detection and analysis unit, which analyses the frequency and compare it to the specific sample frequencies with the identification of the single element. Depending on the response of detection and analysis unit, the pneumatic device activates to physically separate the shelled fruits out of shells and/or foreign bodies. The products recognized by the detection and analysis unit as conforming, fall into the hopper following the natural falling path; on the contrary, the elements recognized by the detection unit as shell fragments or as other foreign bodies, are deviated by a blast of compressed air, issued by a precise nozzle, into the reject collecting hopper. In models with two overlapping modules, the sorted or rejected product is automatically conveyed to another section of the machine to undergo an identical process.

Cars, girls and Justin Bieber dancing in gold high-tops. That's what you get in the pop star's new Boyfriend video, which made its debut on MTV last night.
The Biebz gets close to a girl with dark hair (too bad it's not his real sweetie Selena Gomez) as he croons, "If I was your boyfriend, I'd never let you go ..."
"I wanted to do something a little bit more mature," Bieber told MTV's Sway Calloway after the premiere.
He's into cars in real life, and owns a variety. "I have a Range Rover and a Fisker," he says. "And I have a Smart car. It just helps me get from point A to point B. I call it my little 'swag car.' "
And speaking of swagger, what about those gold shoes? "I did pick out those swaggy gold shoes," he told MTV. "They spray-painted them gold. That's what I'm going to do: I'm gonna start wearing gold shoes all the time."

EAST ORANGE, N.J. (AP) — Prosecutors in northern New Jersey say the former executive director of a nonprofit has been charged with embezzling funds.
The Essex County prosecutor's office announced Thursday that 64-year-old Lancie Marchan was arrested Thursday at her home in North Brunswick.
Marchan is the former executive director of East Orange Revitalization and Development Corporation (EORDC), which worked with a private corporation on the construction of the Princeton Estates Phase II Project, a low-income housing development in East Orange.
Prosecutors allege that Marchan conspired with her twin brothers to steal more than $382,600 over a 5-year period until 2010.
Assistant Prosecutor Robert Grady says Marchan allegedly used the money for personal expenses including trips, hotel stays, visits to casinos and various gifts.
It was not immediately known if she has retained an attorney.
