Obama wins second term, outlasting Romney
President Obama won a second term against Republican challenger Mitt Romney on Tuesday, becoming the first president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt to win re-election with an unemployment rate above 7.2 percent.
Pennsylvania joined key swing states Ohio, Iowa and Colorado to carry Obama past the 270 electoral-vote threshold. According to preliminary returns, he won Pennsylvania 52 percent to 47 percent. Obama won more than 300 electoral votes, according to the Associated Press.
"Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward. It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope," Obama told a cheering crowd in Chicago. "We know that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come."
Romney's brief speech called for national unity.
"This is a time of great challenges for America, and I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation," Romney told a cheering crowd at his rally in Boston about 1 a.m. Wednesday.
Obama led Romney by just more than 2 percentage points in the popular vote as of 1 a.m., offering another reminder that the country remains deeply divided politically.
"I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the nation in another direction. But the nation chose another leader, and so Ann and I join with you to earnestly pray for him and for this great nation," Romney said.
Florida remained too close to call.
Turnout appeared to dip from the record high of four years ago, and in most states appeared to be lower than 2004, though the complete picture won't be clear for weeks. Heavy turnout in Westmoreland County, where voters in some precincts waited for an hour to cast ballots, prompted elections officials to keep some larger polling locations open until 9 p.m.
After months of campaigning and more money than ever spent on U.S. elections, the basic dynamics of government remain the same: a Republican House, Democratic Senate and Obama in the White House.
Their first task will be to undo what they did last year. As part of a compromise to increase the country's borrowing limit, lawmakers created the so-called fiscal cliff. The combination of about $607 billion in budget cuts and tax hikes scheduled to take place at year's end threatens to plunge the country back into a recession.
"At a time like this, we can't risk partisan bickering," Romney said. "Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people's work."
The country's unemployment rate was 7.9 percent in October after falling below 8 percent for the first time since 2009 in September. Third-quarter gross domestic product increased by 2 percent, and a Gallup poll last week found the highest levels of economic confidence since 2008.
Obama promised to create 1 million manufacturing jobs by 2016, in part by cutting corporate tax rates by 25 percent.
He wants to extend Bush-era tax cuts for families making less than $250,000 but let the rates return to Clinton-era levels for those who make more. Republicans in Congress got Obama to agree to temporarily extend all tax cuts until the end of this year.
After overseeing the end of the war in Iraq last year, Obama will manage the run-down of America's 11-year war in Afghanistan. He pledged to remove combat troops by the end 2014. He faces an uncertain outcome to the Arab Spring uprisings, and Iran's nuclear ambitions loom large, with crisis possible in spring as Israel considers an attack on the Islamic theocracy.
The campaigns made their final cases to voters on familiar ground.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and first Mormon to become a major-party nominee, and his running mate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, campaigned together in Ohio hours after voting in their home states.
In an illustration of how hotly contested the state's 18 electoral votes were, the GOP ticket's campaign planes at one point sat on the tarmac at Cleveland International Airport yards away from Air Force Two, which carried Vice President Joe Biden to the state for a last-minute campaign appearance.
Romney followed his Cleveland stop with a brief final trip to Western Pennsylvania. He landed at Pittsburgh International Airport just before 3 p.m., and met with election workers at a call center in Green Tree. He was on the ground for just more than an hour and held no public event, though hundreds of supporters gathered in a garage outside the airport's Atlantic Aviation hangar to cheer him.
"It's better to be out here than to watch it on television," said Rian Ryzner, 50, of Jupiter, Fla., a part-time Western Pennsylvanian.
Pennsylvania was considered safely in Obama's column for much of the race, but recent polls showed it tightening, particularly after Romney's performance in the first presidential debate.
Obama held his final rally Monday night in Des Moines and spent Election Day in Chicago, where he thanked volunteers at a campaign field office. He followed that with a game of basketball. The game included former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen.
It was the second election in a row in which Americans learned the winner on Election Day, after two elections that dragged through the night or longer. Sen. John Kerry conceded to President George W. Bush the day after the 2004 election, four years after Bush's race with Vice President Al Gore dragged for weeks because of recounts and court battles.
"The candidates are so evenly balanced that it comes down to about four fairly big-sized states that are simply very close," said Jim Broussard, history professor at Lebanon Valley College. "They're so big and diverse, unless you're winning the country big, those are always going to be close."

Porter Thayer Photos OnlineFriday, December 10th, 2010
This collection is being digitized through a collaboration between the UVM Libraries' Center for Digital Initiatives and the Brooks Memorial Library. The collection launched with 100 initial photos in December 2010, after which batches of 50 images will be added to the collection on a continuous basis. This work is supported in part by a grant from the Windham Foundation.
When completed, the collection will contain 1300 photographs of Windham County made from silver gelatin prints by this early 20th century itinerant town photographer. The prints were made in 1980 from the 5×7 glass plates negatives held at the Brooks Memorial Library in Brattleboro, Vermont.
"During the time period Porter worked, Vermont was extremely poor and rural, yet held a close-knit population that shared the labors of life. Farmers helped one another to survive in a subsistence and barter economy. For women, men, and children, life meant constant work. Thayer's images describe the work and the tools involved. His landscape images reveal this working landscape, which today is mostly hidden by trees." (by Jessica Weitz and Forrest Holzapfel)

Hubble's Dark Constantpublished Feb 8, 2013
Numb: The Hubble Constant is currently estimated in 2009 to be 74.2 ± 3.6 (km/s)/Mpc.
Number: The Hubble Constant is currently estimated in 2009 to be 74.2 ± 3.6 (km/s)/Mpc. This constant of proportionality represents the ratio of the velocity of a galaxy receding from us to its distance from Earth.
Num-best: Based on astronomical observations, Edwin Hubble first formulated his law in 1929 that the velocity (kilometers per second) of a galaxy receding from Earth is proportional to its distance (Megaparsecs) from us. Hubble's original estimate, 500 (km/s)/Mpc, indicates the difficulty in measuring this constant of proportionality which is currently calculated to be 74.2 ± 3.6 (km/s)/Mpc, using the latest data from the Hubble Space telescope.
The basic idea seems simple enough, astronomers Vesto Slipher (1917) and Edwin Hubble (1929) analyze light spectrum from distant celestial objects and notice the tell-tale shift of the signature spectral lines towards the red end of the spectrum:
See my column on Planck's constant for more information on the light spectrum. The reason Hubble has a constant, and not poor Vesto, is that Hubble was specifically looking for such redshift to confirm that the universe was expanding as boldly predicted by Lemaitre. This prediction was bold because it contradicted the great Einstein, who started the modern era in cosmology with his theory of general relativity, which describes gravitation as a consequence of the curvature of space-time. Einstein believed the universe was static (the prevailing view at the time) and thus was concerned that gravity would make the universe collapse according to his field equations; so he introduced the infamous "cosmological constant"into his equations to prevent such collapse in 1917:
The capital lambda represents his "anti-gravity" term. Can you find the capital lambda? This reminds me of the old math joke, where a question on a math test asks the students to find x ( an all too common question!) and a bright student simply circles the letter x. This innocuous looking equation actually contains tensors, and if there was one thing that drove me to fits in grad school it was tensor notation. So all we are going to do with this equation is admire its simplicity, be amazed that it can describe the fate of the entire universe, and circle lambda!
Of interest to us, is that following Einstein's published solutions to his equation, the Russian Alexander Alexandrovich Friedman showed that solutions exist which would indicate an expanding or contracting universe depending on how matter was distributed. This was just so much mathematical theoretical hogwash to the physicists until the Belgian priest and astronomer Georges Henri Joseph Edouard Lemaitre independently published the Friedman solutions in 1927 with the additional important caveat: an expanding universe could be empirically verified! Lemaitre noted that every galaxy in an expanding universe would be receding from every other galaxy at a rate that increases with distance separation. This is what Hubble directly verified in his 1929 paper and partly why he is so famous; also note that this expanding universe scenario is where the "big bang theory" comes from. The following is a graphic, illustrating the proportionality of distance and velocity:
There are several gedankenexperiments ("thought experiments") that need to be more fully explored before moving on to the darker side of this column. The first is trying to imagine how every galaxy can recede from every other galaxy. A standard visual aid is a balloon being blown up with dots on it, as the balloon expands all the dots get farther away from each other. Martin Gardner, the math puzzle guy, offers a more substantial image of a ball of dough with raisins in it expanding as it cooks. I prefer a 4 dimensional glob of dark matter with isolated singularities dispersing into a 12 dimensional space time manifold due to the mysterious quintessence of a dark energy field... but that's just me. Next gedanken, the redshift of the light from the galaxies moving apart is due to the actual stretching of the universe itself (think ball of dough stretching as it expands), not from the traditional Doppler shift of moving objects. Finally try to imagine why the velocity of raisins in the doughball is proportional to the distance between them, i.e. why is a raisin moving twice as fast from another raisin if it is twice as far? Mathematically this is a consequence of the theorem that states any two points which are moving away from the origin, each along straight lines and with speed proportional to distance from the origin, will be moving away from each other with a speed proportional to their distance apart (like that actually helps).
The velocities of the receding galaxies are easier to calculate, using the observed redshift in spectral lines, than the distances of the galaxies, which require knowing how bright the celestial object is supposed to be and comparing that with the observed brightness. Astronomers have refined their distance estimations using improved data collection, as well as finding more easily measurable bright objects in the sky. Type Ia supernovae, exploding stars that briefly shine as brightly as 10 billion suns, are rare examples. In 1998 two teams of astronomers studying just such supernovae determined that they were dimmer than expected, leading them to conclude that they were farther than estimated using Hubble's constant... meaning that the expansion of the universe must be speeding up! This completely unexpected result has been further supported with more observations, leading to cosmologists looking for some kind of anti-gravity term that could account for this acceleration... Amazingly they have turned back to Einstein's cosmological constant, which he had called "his biggest blunder" after seeing Hubble's results.
Physicists now refer to the needed "stuff" to cause the accelerating expansion: "dark energy." To be precise (if possible when speculating), there are two competing forms of this hypothetical energy: one a constant energy density field versus a variable energy density field called "quintessence." For those of you who still remember the hypothesized "aether" from the turn of the last century (actually the idea dates back to Aristotle, with aether being the fifth element with air, earth, fire and water, hence the "quint" in quintessence), the following statement should be eerily familiar: "The exact nature of dark energy is a matter of speculation. It is known to be very homogeneous, uniformly filling otherwise empty space, not very dense and it is not known to interact through any of the fundamental forces other than gravity." This is incredibly exciting news!!! For those of you who thought you missed the boat when Einstein replaced the Newtonian paradigm with relativity theory, and quantum theory blew the socks off of just about everyone, this is a chance to make a real contribution to our knowledge of the universe. Just as the "aether" and problems related to it led to a deeper understanding of light and quantum phenomena, dark energy will certainly push young scientists to come up with creative explanations. A word of caution is warranted here, note that I say young "scientists" in the previous sentence. Lots of people like to "speculate" but to really contribute to the field of physics requires years of hard work, persistence and study in said field. Getting back to dark energy, scientists have calculated how much of this stuff is out there, even though they have no idea what it actually might be:
Wow, three-quarters of the pie is made up of something that we didn't know about 10 years ago. Some of you may have noticed that almost all of the rest of the pie is "dark matter" which has at least been around since 1934. Fritz Zwicky coined this term to help explain observed galaxy rotation and galaxy cluster formation. So only 4% of the universe consists of stuff we can actually "explain", which is in quotes because quantum theory still has many conundrums that leave our understanding of ordinary matter with much to be desired. Jermey Bernstein's nice little book, Quantum Leaps, provides an excellent insider look at the development of the quantum theory with particular focus on John Bell and his theorem related to the EPR paradox and the measurement problem. On page 172 he asks: "But what is the explanation for the correlations of the widely separated entangled photons or electrons?", and then answers: "If you accept the usual interpretation of the quantum theory, there isn't one." In order to avoid taking one of his "quantum leaps" I will say no more on this subject here, except that someone now needs to write a book called, Cosmic Leaps.
Finishing up our story on Hubble and his erstwhile "constant", which now is accepted as varying according to the cosmological model being used, we find ourselves in a universe comprised largely of energy and matter that we cannot explain. Given such uncertainties in the science of cosmology it might come as no surprise that a Scientific American article was published in March 2008 titled, The End of Cosmology. The authors do not propose that all cosmologists should pack up their bags since we cannot account for most of what is being observed, but rather posit that this is the golden age of cosmology. The accelerating universe actually implies that all galaxies will eventually get so far away from us, that in roughly 100 billion years their light will not be able to overcome the ever-increasing distance and reach us! This will leave us with only light from the Milky Way and nearby galaxies which will have since formed a ball-like super- galaxy, turning our night sky and constellations into one big white smudge. Our sun is expected to burn out in 5 billion years so humans will probably be someplace else by then. What is interesting is that there will be no traces of any other galaxies, thus no evidence of the expanding universe, leading future astronomers to believe in the static universe that Einstein had originally tried to derive with his cosmological constant!

MAX Bartholemew hit a hat-trick as North Wilts returned to winning ways in East Central 1 with a 4-0 thrashing of county rivals West Wilts.
The Dorcan side, who dropped their first points of the campaign in the 0-0 draw at City of Bath A last Saturday, were rampant against their visitors and incredibly have still not conceded a goal in any of their first seven games.
Striker Darren Hillier created the opener midway through the first half when he beat two players before passing into the circle for Bartholomew, who finished first-time through the legs of the goalkeeper.
Soon after, Dominic Ellis cut across the top of the circle from the left and cracked a powerful strike into the net.
The returning Cameron Young nearly grabbed his first league goal of the season following good work from Ellis, but just failed to reach a pass despite a brave sliding effort.
After the break, a solid performance from man of the match Dan Conneely in the pivot role ensured North Wilts continued to pin the visitors in their own half.
Bartholomew picked up his second goal of the game with another short-corner strike, which he despatched expertly.
Shortly afterwards he completed his hat-trick, taking a quick free hit outside the circle and finishing well at the near post.
Meanwhile, in Premier Division 2A, Swindon suffered their third away defeat in four this season as they were sunk 2-0 late on at Taunton Vale.
The Wiltshire outfit might have fancied their chances against the lowly Somerset outfit beforehand, but poor availability of players meant they were somewhat handicapped.
Swindon were not their usual selves throughout the match and even when they did pressure the Vale goal, the final touch was lacking.
When the umpire controversially awarded Vale a short corner with seven minutes to go, the hosts seized the chance to go in front.
And they ensured victory with three minutes remaining as Swindon went vainly in search of an equaliser.
In Central 2, Wootton Bassett suffered a disappointing 6-2 loss at Somerset Gryphons.

Legendary rocker Rod Stewart [2]is coming to the UAE again, this time to Abu Dhabi. After wowing audiences in Dubai two years ago [3], Stewart will be in Abu Dhabi next year to perform at a private party of 5,000 VIPs on the night of November 2, 2013. Stewart's performance comes as part of a three-day invitation-only luxury exhibition called The Collection, which will be launched in Abu Dhabi for the first time next year.
The Collection, which will run from October 31 to November 2, is expected to bring 100 of the world's most iconic high-end brands and three auction houses to the capital.
An international Arabic singer, whose name has not yet been announced, will perform on the first night of the exhibition, said Chris James, founder and managing director of The Collection. On the second day, a rivalry tennis match is scheduled to take place between two celebrity sports stars. Their names have also not been announced.
The invitation-only event will bring an audience of 15,000 VIPs, both local and international, to the Abu Dhabi Exhibition Centre over the course of three days. Those receiving the "gold invitation" will be predominantly up to the participating brands, who will extend the invitations to their best clients, said James.
Auctions will take place over the three days on items such as vintage cars, vintage jewellery and works of art from galleries around the world. The Collection will take place in Abu Dhabi every year around the time of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, [4]and in 2014, The Collection will be taken to Monaco and Mumbai. Other cities on the list include Hong Kong and New York.

PARAMEDICS need more training to support victims of domestic violence, a landmark pilot study has found.
The research, published in the Emergency Medicine Australasia journal, revealed 90 per cent of paramedics had attended a case of domestic violence in the past year, while four in five said they felt less than confident about managing the situation.
Monash University researcher Dr Brett Williams said the study, which surveyed 50 paramedics in the ACT, was the first to examine Australian paramedics' knowledge of domestic violence.
While 74 per cent had received some instruction on how to deal with domestic violence, less than half said they received continuing training.
One in five Australian women suffers domestic violence at least once in their adult life, and it is the greatest cause of preventable death and ill-health for women aged between 15 and 44, according to VicHealth.
Dr Williams said paramedics in Victoria were compelled to report child abuse to police, but not cases of domestic violence.
''If the partner is in the lounge room when the paramedics arrive, the victim may not want to disclose anything.''
He said in that case paramedics should be compelled to report domestic violence to police.
''It is a contentious issue,'' he said. ''If reporting the abuse leads to better diagnoses, care and ongoing management, that has to be a positive thing for the paramedic and the client.''
The executive officer of the Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria, Virginia Geddes, said victims should be encouraged and supported to report domestic violence but she did not favour mandatory reporting by paramedics.
''It is disempowering,'' Ms Geddes said.
''You are actually taking the agency away from the person who is the victim of violence.''
Domestic Violence Victoria policy officer Alison Macdonald warned that mandatory reporting might also dissuade victims from calling for help.
One graduate paramedic said his university course had included classes on how to identify signs of child and domestic abuse, but there was no substitute for on-the-job training.
''Paramedics can pick up the feel of the room,'' the 24-year-old said.
He said students were taught how to detect injuries that were inconsistent with a patient's age.
''Broken femurs in a three-month-old and things like that - we are taught a lot about how to identify injuries that are a bit shady,'' he said.
''Adults can hurt themselves any old way so it's a bit more difficult, but you can definitely tell. Usually there will be a lot of emotions involved, not just pain. You can see a lot of sadness and fear in the person as well.''

Who or what is Gilbert Brule?
August 06 2008 03:47PM
Remember Raffi Torres? Remember when he was traded to Columbus for Gilbert "Crème" Brule? Rich, soft and sweet, just like the dessert. Who the hell is that guy, anyway? Oh, you know stuff about him? Shut up. How does that sound? Good.
Our knowledge of Brule consists of the following story. One time we went on a road trip and someone picked Brule as their person in the game "20 questions." How preposterous is that? "Who the hell is Gibert Brule?" was the question we were asking that day. And later—when we had hit question 21 and lost the game—we were cursing his very name and existence.
Fast-forward four years. A little more chest hair, a little less swagger in his step, but we can't help but wonder if we still hate Brule after all the time that has passed. Should we consider him to be a fragile little deer, healing from injury and only three years removed from being compared to Sidney Crosby? Or should we run him over with a stolen car the instant he reports to training camp and finish him off for good? All good questions. And dammit questions need answers!
So peep this, Nation. Four sections, four days and if all goes well we should shed some light on the enigma wrapped in a mystery dipped in the UFO sighting that is Gibert Brule. And as a special bonus, it is going to be a collaboration between Jonathan Willis and Fleet Admiral Wanye Gretz in what could be possibly the first shared post in the history of the notoriously combative Oilogosphere*. There will be tears and fights, believe that!
- Part I: The history of Gilbert Brule
- Part II: Analyzing the player
- Part III: Brule vs other players of note
- Part IV: The Future—Brule as an Oiler
In advance: You're welcome.
*We're certain one of you will point out that this is not so. Please provide links and footnotes detailing our error. We are so. Very. Lazy.
Part II: Are you analyzing Brule based on seeing him play, talking to his coaches, teammates and opponents or are you analyzing his numbers bolstered by 45-second YouTube clips?
Part IV: The future. Do tell. And pass along your findings to Scott Howson so he'll know what he's given up to get 35 good games a season from Raffi.
August 06 2008, 10:58PM
As a matter of fact Robin we do have a youtube video. It has "get ready for this" as the background music by 90s supergroup 2Unlimited. I think you will enjoy it.
Oh and the future? You will enjoy that too. Jonathan and I travel one year and 5 months into the future and attend an Oilers game to see how Brule ends up. During the intermission at the game we call you and wish you a happy 115th birthday.

Not to give too much away, but there's already a statue of Steve Tambellini in front of Rexall at that point.

"A Long and Tumultuous Relationship"
East-West Interchanges in American Art
October 1–2, 2009
View the archived webcast on our site, ArtBabble, or YouTube.
Individual talks and symposium proceedings are available for download from iTunes U.
This two-day symposium explores the complicated interactions between American and Asian artists and visual traditions from the eighteenth century to the present. The history of American art has long been discussed primarily in terms of European training and influence. When scholars have looked eastward, they often have considered the Asian influence on art of the United States as a unidirectional and limited development, suggesting that Asian culture was monolithic and unchanging while characterizing American artists as dynamic and original in their ability to absorb and meld the best of diverse global outlooks. This multidisciplinary conference focuses instead on what scholar Bert Winther-Tamaki has called in his book Art in the Encounter of Nations the "contentious interdependency" born out of a "long and tumultuous relationship" between East and West.
Papers by both senior and emerging scholars and curators explore cultural interactions in a variety of "contact zones" ranging from the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the United States to venues of artistic production in India, China, Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Speakers consider the circulation of artists, objects, and ideas over time and the impact of these crossings on art and culture at large; reflect on the changing face of Orientalism; look at international conversations about race and identity; and explore developments in studio craft and the import market.
"A Long and Tumultous Relationship": East-West Interchanges in American Art was organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum in partnership with the Smithsonian's Freer Gallery of Art/Arthur M. Sackler Gallery and the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program. It was supported by a generous grant from the Terra Foundation for American Art, which is dedicated to fostering the exploration, understanding, and enjoyment of American art for national and international audiences.
The symposium proceedings were published by Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press in 2012 along with an introduction by symposium organizer, Cynthia Mills, and two essays by co-organizers, Lee Glazer and Amelia Goerlitz, on the Smithsonian's research resources relating to East-West exchange. Individual essays and a full PDF of the book (East-West Interchanges in American Art: A Long and Tumultuous Relationship) are available for downloading at no cost here.

The collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Freer Gallery of Art/Arthur M. Sackler Gallery offer a significant resource for the study of Asian American interchanges.

danbob999 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkWhat about the no contract price? Reply
garadante - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkIf this contract price lines up with other contract price phones, this thing must be somewhere in the region of $400-600 for the 16 GB version. Which isn't cheap at all, and definitely in the range of some high end Android phones. Reply
andykins - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkIn the UK, the 16GB 5C has an off contract price for £469 which is 740 dollars or 592 dollars when you take out VAT.
There's nothing cheap about the 5C. It's the price that the 4S got moved down to last year when the 5 was announced. It's just cheaper for Apple to produce than the 5 so they make even more profit. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkI don't get it. The 5C just uglies up the guts inside the 5. The 5 looked great, this is ugly as sin, especially with that hole case. What does it add for the consumer? It just seems like cost cutting. Reply
kyuu - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkCost cutting is exactly what this is. Nothing to do with benefiting the customer. Reply
janderk - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkBeside increasing margins on the $99 phone it forces people to buy the new 5S if they want a premium feel. A 5 at lower cost would have competed too much with the 5S.
Problem of course is that people may now opt for a less expensive Android phone with a premium feel instead like a HTC One (mini) or a Moto X with wood finish. Reply
reuthermonkey1 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - link"A 5 at lower cost would have competed too much with the 5S."
That tells me that I should stick with an iPhone5 if it's close enough to a 5S that Apple feels it's 'competition'. Reply
Guspaz - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkOne might argue that paying less benefits the customer. Reply
kyuu - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkExcept they're paying the same price they would have for the regular iPhone 5 had Apple kept the same process they've been using since the original iPhone of cutting the price on the previous model when the new one comes out.
Also, $100 on-contract is pretty pricey for a "budget" device. Reply
steven75 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkThat's some pretty twisted logic you have there.
Do you also take into effect the future resale value of your phone when you buy one? My guess is no, as Apple wins that battle mightily. Reply
kwrzesien - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkDisappointed that the 32GB model isn't $149. Reply
Mumrik - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - link"The result is a device with comparable specs to the iPhone 5, but starting at $99."
With contract. I know most people know it, but it really really should be pointed out that this thing absolutely doesn't cost $99. Reply
lowlymarine - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkYou know, I was actually kind of interested in this when the rumors started spreading around a $300 off-contract price. Sure, it's still a touch too expensive for what you're getting, but not absurdly so, so it would make a nice device to maybe get into iOS development and keep as a spare phone in case something horrible befalls my Nexus 4. Then the rumors went up to $400 or so and my interest began to wane, but I decided to keep an eye on it anyway.
And then they went and announced it at $550. I'm struggling to find the words to express how outrageous that is. Suffice it to say, you'd have to be absolutely insane to pay that much for a plastic iPhone 5 when the 16GB Nexus 4 is available for $249 with superior internals and arguably better build quality. And if LTE and a better camera mean enough to you for the difference to be worth it...I mean, the One GPe is only $50 more than this! Think about that for a second. Reply
steven75 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkSuperior internals to the 5/5C? It has a far worse camera, far worse GPU, no LTE, etc. Reply
lowlymarine - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkWhile I have to grant you the camera and LTE (though I have to say that coming from a Lumia 900 that had LTE to a Nexus 4 without it, I've never noticed the difference - it might matter more on a network like VZW or Sprint where 3G is laughably slow, but the difference between Cat14 HSPA+ and LTE isn't perceptible in most situations you'd want to use a capped data plan for anyway), I don't know where you get the idea that Adreno 320 is "far worse" than SGX543 MP3. Anandtech;s own benchmarks (http://www.anandtech.com/show/7251/lg-g2-and-msm89... show the various A320 devices, including the Nexus 4, matching or exceeding the iPhone 5 in T-Rex, Egypt, and Basemark both on- (where the iPhone's lower resolution should give it a leg up) and off-screen. The GLBenchmark synthetics have always produced very odd results on ImgTech GPUs that aren't reflected elsewhere. Reply
lowlymarine - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkSo the comment mangled my link, should have been: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7251/lg-g2-and-msm89... Reply

Print In October of 1901, Chippewa Boots was founded in their namesake city of Chippewa Falls, WI. Chippewa Boots was named after the city which was named after the Indian tribe in the region. Their quest was to one day, create the finest boots and shoes in the United States. At the time, Chippewa Boots employed 175 people, mainly women, and produced 1,200 pairs a day. In the beginning, Chippewa Boots mainly produced a high end logging boots for the pulp and paper industry. The Chippewa mainstay, Logger Boot, outfitted thousand of brave lumberjacks. They required sharp saws, honed axes, strong ropes and Chippewa Boots. Chippewa Logger Boots were quickly known as the best boots for the outdoors. With the reputation Chippewa Boots was creating, their quality Logger Boots spread throughout the entire United States and in 1910 their factory increased production to 2,500 pairs a day! Chippewa Boots has played their part in every era. The Chippewa Engineer Boots through the 1930's. The Chippewa Arctic Boots for the cold-weather battles of World War II. Even through the 50's when Chippewa introduced Chippewa Snake Boots for hunters and outdoorsmen. Chippewa Boots have always been know for quality, durability and technology.

I just recently got a new smoker Chargriller w/SFB so I'm very new to slow cooking but through this board I'm learning some good things.
First question and I'll keep it basic, in other words I wont throw in questions about wood chunks and lump charcoal although I do use them.
I've done ribs, pulled pork and brisket and of course different foods take different amount of times to cook but how much charcoal do you use to slow cook your food, it seems like I'm going through alot, like an entire 20 lb bag or more at one setting, is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
Second question, I have a chance to get an electric smoker for free, Brinkmanns Gourmet.
Do I need to use lava rocks with this smoker or can I just wrap up some wood chips in foil and throw them at the bottom of the smoker.
Also is it possible to change this smoker from electric to charcoal if I wanted too?
If I remove the heating element than whats the difference between a charcoal smoker and electric smoker?
Well thats all the questions for now, hope they dont seem too newbie-ish more will soon to follow.
Thanks for the help.

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Celebrates Athletics
June 17th, 2010 |
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College athletics celebrates a phenomenal year during the 2009-10 season as six teams competitively competed in national tournaments. The College's women's intercollegiate athletic program offers seven varsity sports, including basketball, cross country, equine, golf, soccer, and softball. About 30 percent of the student body participates in the intercollegiate athletics program.
In its inaugural year, cross-country team won the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) National Cross Country Championship. Soccer and softball teams finished runners-up in nationals. The basketball team competed in USCAA nationals. Equestrian Hunt Team competed in Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) nationals. Equestrian Western riders competed in IHSA nationals.
"This has been an incredible year for our young women, the coaches and our programs. Our athletes have experienced a challenging level of competition that more than equals their passion," said Deanna Bradley, SMWC athletic director.
SMWC's athletic philosophy is embedded in the ideals of the college's liberal arts traditions. These ideals promote the concept of the total person, which stresses academic achievement while promoting competition, college spirit, leadership, respect, and sportsmanship.
The success and commitment of the students is not limited to their sport. Student athletes consistently perform well in the classroom. All of the athletic teams combined boast a GPA of 3.2. This academic year 10 students were named USCAA Academic All-Americans and six were named USCAA Athletic All-Americans.
Bradley added, "Our program places the highest priority on the success of the educational experience while helping students to reach their full potential athletically. These women demonstrate that dedication, preparation and perseverance prove to be the hallmark of a Saint Mary-of-the-Woods student athlete."

text: It sucks man, $6 gas wtf as someone said this fragile economy can not handle that. I wish we were more energy independent, and began investing heavily in the oil resources within this vast country. We could put people to work, therefore maybe get out of the 8 percent plus unemployment figure, and eventually be able to refine a supply of fuel to drive costs down here. Importing, or relying significantly on wack jobs that hate us for oil is rediculous. the oil market often seems to defy economic principles. we need to be more involved in its process, aside from just buying it, in my opinion.

I am somewhat familiar with python, but new to Tkinter and GUI creation. I am trying to create a simple radio button and use the resultant variable later in my code. With the code below I am able to get a GUI to pop up, however, here are my troubles:
1) The program proceeds without making a GUI selection, i.e. it keeps the set value and goes into the "def checked" without interacting with the submit button.
2) The GUI never goes away without clicking the "x".
What I want:
1) The script to wait for me to make a radiobutton selection and hit submit
2) GUI goes away
3) Enter def checked
4) Exit the mainloop()
5) Proceed with the rest of the code (which it is also not doing)
here is the code:
- Code: Select all
import os
from os import path
from Tkinter import *
import tkMessageBox
import Tkinter
class Procedure (SmartScript.SmartScript):
def __init__(self, dbss):
SmartScript.SmartScript.__init__(self, dbss)

RunType = self.Runtype.get()

NSS Labs Latest Tests Show Next Generation Firewalls Rapidly Maturing to Meet Needs of the Enterprise
7 of 9 Next Generation Firewalls Tested Received NSS Labs Coveted "Recommend" Status
February 27, 2013 -- !-- AddToAny BEGIN -->
AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/13 -- NSS Labs today released its 2013 Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) Security Value Map and Comparative Analysis Reports, which evaluated 9 of the leading NGFW products on the market for security effectiveness, performance, enterprise management capabilities and total cost of ownership. This was the second group test for NGFW that NSS has conducted and overall there was marked improvement from most vendors' 2012 test scores.
Read the Reports:
NSS 2013 Next Generation Firewall Security Value Map and Comparative Analysis Reports - Performance, Management, Security and Total Cost of Ownership
NSS's research yielded several key conclusions:
- Check NGFWs' firmware before deployment: Out of a total of 9 products tested, 6 vendors submitted products that required firmware updates or configuration changes to complete the NSS tests. Only Check Point, Fortinet and Stonesoft submitted products that worked the first time.
- New Metric Highlights Enterprise Management Failings: If a device cannot be managed effectively, the security effectiveness of that device is compromised. As part of this test, NSS performed in-depth technical evaluations of all the main features and capabilities of the enterprise management systems offered by each vendor and factored it into the final score as a new and unique metric called "managed security effectiveness." Managed security effectiveness scores ranged from 29.1% to 98.5%.
- NGFWs' Security Effectiveness Scores Improve Significantly: In the latest 2013 tests, 8 of the 9 products scored over 90% for security effectiveness (excluding management). This is a marked increase compared to 2012, when only half of tested vendors scored above 90% in this category. The overall scores for security effectiveness in 2013 ranged from 34.2% to 98.5% compared to 18% to 98.9% in 2012.
- Total Cost of Ownership Remains Fairly Stable: While the overall range of TCO decreased in 2013 testing, prices per protected megabit per second remained fairly stable with most tested devices costing below $44 per Protected-Mbps. The overall 2013 range was $18 - $124 per Protected Mbps, down from a range of $30 - $375 in 2012 testing.
- More Vendors Back their Performance Claims: Only 2 of 9 products tested had throughput rates that were significantly less than their vendors' stated claims. In 2012 testing, 5 of the 8 products tested performed well below their advertised speeds. In 2013, three vendors -- Dell SonicWALL, Sourcefire and Palo Alto -- performed better in tested performance than their stated throughput and two vendors -- Check Point and Stonesoft -- had throughputs that were virtually equal to their stated performance.
Commentary: NSS Labs Research Director Francisco Artes
"In 2012, our tests showed that while vendors turned in a good first showing, there was significant room for NGFW technologies as a whole to improve before being widely deployed in large enterprises," said Francisco Artes, Research Director at NSS Labs. "In our 2013 tests, I think we've seen much of the improvement we thought was needed in previous testing. With 7 of the 9 products receiving a 'Recommend' rating in this year's tests, it's clear that the vendors are investing a lot of time and effort to address many of the overall stability, leakage, performance and security effectiveness concerns from last year."

I've banged the drum enough about the pros and cons of Ilya Kovalchuk's free agency. There are some pros. But …
First of all, he's way more Amar'e Stoudemire than LeBron James. In other words, he's in the upper crust of NHL players, forever playing in the All-Star game, probably a Hall of Famer one day, but not even in the conversation of best player in the game. Yet, like Stoudemire, he will demand the same type of money as the best player.
And yes the Rangers — who are not interested — really need offensive players. And there isn't another one of these around this year, and probably won't be next year.
But …
If it's true that he's turned down 12 years at $63.6 million (as Larry Brooks reported) from the L.A. Kings, who could contend for a Cup, then what would it take for a non-contender like the Rangers to get him?
Assume it would be more than that. Also assume it would be a lot more, since he turned down around $10 million a year from Atlanta. Let's say, conservatively, it's $8 million per. So when the Rangers boot Wade Redden to Hartford in September, they have the cap space for that with some relatively minor roster tweaking. Plus the Garden has all this extra cash sitting around since LeBron decided to go south.
Assume they feel Kovalchuk can be a big-game player, and a team-carrying guy.
Assume they decide that they don't need a playmaking center more than another gunner, not to mention any of their other plethora of holes, and think, hey, maybe we should go after this guy (they won't).
It will still take a 10-year comittment, at the least. This guy is 27. How is that contract going to look when he's 34, 35, 37?
I'll tell you how it's going to look. It's going to look worse that Redden's or Chris Drury's. That's how it's going to look. Especially if he turns into a 30-goal scorer later on.
They'll be in cap hell, and if the world doesn't end in 2012, then it will be 2018 and we'll all be screaming "How could they have handcuffed this franchise like this way back in 2010?"
And we'll be talking about One Cup in 78 Years.
And no end in sight.
