Can headquarters is of course getting ready for the race for the White House and -- is a very different race this time around back in 2008.
President Obama beat Senator John McCain by nine and a half million votes.
This time it seems like a very different scenario is shaping up according to the latest real clear politics average of polls.
President Obama has a slim lead over governor Mitt Romney 46 to 44%.
In an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal Karl Rove a Fox News contributor and former senior advisor to President Bush.
Highlights the key reasons he sees for the tight race.
They include the fact that GOP voters he says are more fired up the Democrats.
The enthusiasm among young voters is lower than it was in 2008.
And the president is losing ground among middle class voters.
-- Like well like nobody's business -- I -- to read to you part of what Carl wrote in that op Ed piece in the Wall Street Journal he says.
Elections are about numbers and right now the presidents are bad.
A big chunk of President Obama is nine point five million vote advantages the advantage he enjoyed over John McCain.
Is probably gone do you agree with that.
I yeah I think so I mean when you look at it -- the numbers from 2008 to 2012.
The president's numbers are down really across a number of key demographic groups really in the president's got to fight a battle on two fronts.
One he's got to keep the democratic base motivated and figure out a way to mobilize them.
-- and secondarily he's got to sort -- stand this exodus out.
-- independent voters that are that have been moving away from the president for the past couple years.
And also white working class voters it's not a group that president Obama's gonna expect to win.
But the margin in which he loses those voters buy it is going to be key.
And he slipped substantially among those voters that's huge and the state like Ohio.
It's important in Pennsylvania it's important in Michigan and North Carolina the enthusiasm gap is the first thing that -- mentions he's as Republican voters are simply more fired up to vote this time around and if you can't get your base to go to the polls you're gonna have trouble winning an election.
Yeah a little bit of the enthusiasm gap sort of depends on what -- you're looking at it was a Gallup poll that suggested in some of the key swing states.
I -- sort of hyper level of enthusiasm was highest.
Among Republican supporters of Mitt Romney and and higher then -- the president's supporters.
But nationally say there's not a huge enthusiasm gap here.
I you know President Obama supporters are motivated they are enthusiastic.
But keep in mind this is not 2008.
And even a difference.
One or two percentage points in terms of turnout amongst today.
Core aspects of the democratic base and it could mean hundreds of thousands of votes.
I and that's -- the White House has to guard against I was surprised to read that 9%.
Of Republicans.
Who went to the polls last time around in 2008 said they voted for Barack Obama.
Carl -- -- suggests that he's not going to enjoy that kind of support among Republican voters this time.
Yeah I think that's a pretty safe assumption -- I think they.
The one thing that you saw -- in 2008.
Was that it you know the Obama campaign was able to it made inroads among.
-- more conservative leaning independents.
Those white working class voters even among some Republicans while the numbers were quite small.
-- -- All of those things have eroded to -- to a great extent for President Obama in the White House.
And it's now a fight to you know be really retain that -- among independent voters which you're going to be key a lot of the battleground states Friday and again -- -- find a way to further motivate the democratic base because when you are losing.
Is some ground among independents when you're further losing ground among white working class voters -- the democratic base is gonna have to be hyper mobilized.
I and the White House has got to figure out how they're gonna do that for November show on the April elections expert from campaign and elections magazine thank you.
You got.

You can attach a data disk to a virtual machine to store application data. A data disk is a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) that you can create either locally with your own computer or in the cloud with Windows Azure. You manage data disks in the virtual machine the same way you do on a server in your office.
You can upload and attach a data disk that already contains data to the virtual machine, or you can attach an empty disk to the machine. The virtual machine is not stopped to add the disk. You are limited in the number of disks that you can attach to a virtual machine based on the size of the machine. The following table lists the number of attached disks that are allowed for each size of virtual machine. For more information about virtual machine and disk sizes, see Virtual Machine Sizes for Windows Azure.
For more information about using data disks, see Manage disks and images.
If you have not already done so, sign in to the Windows Azure Management Portal.
Click Virtual Machines, and then select the virtual machine to which you want to attach the disk.
On the command bar, click Attach, and then select Attach Disk.
The Attach Disk dialog box appears.
Select the data disk that you want to attach to the virtual machine.
Click the check mark to attach the data disk to the virtual machine.
You will now see the data disk listed on the dashboard of the virtual machine.
When you create a new data disk, you decide the size of the disk. After you attach an empty disk to a virtual machine, the disk will be offline. You must connect to the virtual machine, and then use Server Manager to initialize the disk before you can use it.
Note: Windows Azure storage supports blobs up to 1TB in size, which accommodates a VHD with a maximum virtual size 999GB. When you enter "1TB" in Hyper-V for a new hard disk, the value represents the virtual size. This yields a file that is oversized by 512 bytes.
Click Virtual Machines, and then select the virtual machine to which you want to attach the data disk.
On the command bar, click Attach, and then select Attach Empty Disk.
The Attach Empty Disk dialog box appears.
In Storage Location, select the storage account where you want to store the VHD file that is created for the data disk.
In File Name, either accept the automatically generated name or enter a name that you want to use for the VHD file that is stored. The data disk that is created from the VHD file will always use the automatically generated name.
In Size, enter the size of the data disk.
Click the check mark to attach the empty data disk.
The data disk that you just attached to the virtual machine is offline and not initialized after you add it. You must access the machine and initialize the disk to use it for storing data.
Connect to the virtual machine by using the steps listed in How to log on to a virtual machine running Windows Server.
After you log on to the machine, open Server Manager, in the left pane, expand Storage, and then click Disk Management.
Right-click Disk 2, and then click Initialize Disk.
Click OK to start the initialization process.
Right-click the space allocation area for Disk 2, click New Simple Volume, and then finish the wizard with the default values.
The disk is now online and ready to use with a new drive letter.
Connect to the virtual machine by using the steps listed in How to log on to a virtual machine running Linux.
In the SSH window, type the following command, and then enter the password for the account that you created to manage the virtual machine:
sudo grep SCSI /var/log/messages
You can find the identifier of the last data disk that was added in the messages that are displayed.
In the SSH window, type the following command to create a new device, and then enter the account password:
sudo fdisk /dev/sdc
Type n to create a new partition.
Type p to make the partition the primary partition, type 1 to make it the first partition, and then type enter to accept the default value for the cylinder.
Type p to see the details about the disk that is being partitioned.
Type w to write the settings for the disk.
You must create the file system on the new partition. Type the following command to create the file system, and then enter the account password:
sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdc1
Type the following command to make a directory for mounting the drive, and then enter the account password:
sudo mkdir /mnt/datadrive
Type the following command to mount the drive:
sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/datadrive
The data disk is now ready to use as /mnt/datadrive.
Add the new drive to /etc/fstab:
To ensure the drive is re-mounted automatically after a reboot it must be added to the /etc/fstab file. In addition, it is highly recommended that the UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier) is used in /etc/fstab to refer to the drive rather than just the device name (i.e. /dev/sdc1). To find the UUID of the new drive you can use the blkid utility:
sudo -i blkid
The output will look similar to the following:
`/dev/sda1: UUID="11111111-1b1b-1c1c-1d1d-1e1e1e1e1e1e" TYPE="ext4"` `/dev/sdb1: UUID="22222222-2b2b-2c2c-2d2d-2e2e2e2e2e2e" TYPE="ext4"` `/dev/sdc1: UUID="33333333-3b3b-3c3c-3d3d-3e3e3e3e3e3e" TYPE="ext4"`
Note: blkid may not require sudo access in all cases, however, it may be easier to run with sudo -i on some distributions if /sbin or /usr/sbin are not in your $PATH.
sudo -i
Caution: Improperly editing the /etc/fstab file could result in an unbootable system. If unsure, please refer to the distribution's documentation for information on how to properly edit this file. It is also recommended that a backup of the /etc/fstab file is created before editing.
Using a text editor, enter the information about the new file system at the end of the /etc/fstab file. In this example we will use the UUID value for the new /dev/sdc1 device that was created in the previous steps, and the mountpoint /mnt/datadrive:
UUID=33333333-3b3b-3c3c-3d3d-3e3e3e3e3e3e /mnt/datadrive ext4 defaults 1 1
If additional data drives or partitions are created you will need to enter them into /etc/fstab as well.
You can now test that the file system is mounted properly by simply unmounting and then re-mounting the file system, i.e. using the example mount point /mnt/datadrive created in the earlier steps:
`sudo umount /mnt/datadrive` `sudo mount /mnt/datadrive`
If the second command produces an error please check the /etc/fstab file for correct syntax.

The first time I opened Peter Singer's ''Animal Liberation,'' I was dining alone at the Palm, trying to enjoy a rib-eye steak cooked medium-rare. If this sounds like a good recipe for cognitive dissonance (if not indigestion), that was sort of the idea. Preposterous as it might seem, to supporters of animal rights, what I was doing was tantamount to reading ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'' on a plantation in the Deep South in 1852.
Singer and the swelling ranks of his followers ask us to imagine a future in which people will look back on my meal, and this steakhouse, as relics of an equally backward age. Eating animals, wearing animals, experimenting on animals, killing animals for sport: all these practices, so resolutely normal to us, will be seen as the barbarities they are, and we will come to view ''speciesism'' -- a neologism I had encountered before only in jokes -- as a form of discrimination as indefensible as racism or anti-Semitism.

Romeo y Julieta Havoc Fat Churchill Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 2 of 2 reviews
"Not impressed"
The taste and aroma of this cigar was good. It has a mild flavor that did get a little stronger towards the end. However, it burned unevenly the entire time. Also, it felt like it was not wrapped very well, by gently pinching it I could tell it was very loose. Also, when taking a draw I could feel the heat on my finger tips and in the smoke. Overall I'm disappointed with this one. I bought the "test flight" w/ six and we save the remaining 4 and just burn them when I want the aroma only.

"Disappointing Cigar"
Save your $. Bought a box of Fat Churchills and smoked half so far. They look nice, draw okay and light easily, but keeping them on an even burn is a constant battle. I gave them a high rating for consistency because they consistently burn poorly. The taste is mild, but they do pick up in strength as they smoke down (Duh!) and then start to get a bit too sour near the end. What a shame...

Globalrose suggests these simple care tips to keep your Carnations fresh and beautiful.
• It is recommended that your Carnations be delivered (two to three days before the event) to an address where someone can receive and care for them. Please be sure someone is present at your shipping address to receive the Carnations as all of our deliveries require a signature.
• It is very important to bring your Carnations indoor as soon as they are delivered. If this is not immediately possible, make sure you place your Carnations box in a cool place. Carnations should be stored at room temperature as long as they are kept away from heat or cold sources and out of direct sunlight.
• Before you unpack your Carnations, choose a work area that includes a table or counter top and a floor that can resist water. Have handy a set of shears and several empty containers.
• When you are ready to arrange your Carnations, open the box/es and begin by removing the Carnations bunch by bunch. Without removing the plastic wrappers protecting the Carnations buds, remove all other packaging materials from the box/es. Keep in mind that each bunch has several Carnations (25 per bunch).
• Prepare containers/buckets by filling them with room temperature water. Immediately after your Carnations arrive, pour in and mix the enclosed floral food packets provided with each Carnations order. The floral food has been shown to increase the life of fresh Carnations by several days. Save a few packets for when you change the water in a few days.
• Cut each stem one inch from the bottom. Place the Carnations in water immediately after cutting them. Re-cutting Carnations stems from time to time is important (every two days), as stem tips may be incapable of transporting water to the Carnations over time.
• Be sure to remove any leaves that fall below the water line to prevent bacteria from forming. Floral food provided and enclosed with each order will also help to limit bacteria growth.
• Place Carnations in your prepared water-filled containers. Ideally, the plastic wrappers should be kept while the Carnations are hydrating. Hydration occurs anywhere between six to eight hours.
• To ensure longer lasting Carnations, continue to keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat. Change the water and cut Carnations stems one inch every other day. Each time you change the water, add more floral food and be sure that no leaves sit below the water level.
• With the passage of time, give your roses a "face-lift" every couple of days by gently removing discolored or drooping petals from your Carnations.
Enjoy your flowers.

Is Going Over the 'Fiscal Cliff' Necessarily the Worst Outcome? >
Going Off the Fiscal Cliff Is Good Policy—If You Like Unemployment
Going off the cliff would make our current economic pain seem pleasant
November 16, 2012
Don't even think about it! Falling off the fiscal cliff would be an economic disaster for the United States. The fall would add over $300 billion in taxes in this fiscal year, along with another $200+ billion in spending cuts and other changes, or a net change in the deficit of over half a trillion dollars in the current fiscal year (9 months of it are left).
The Congressional Budget Office says that our GDP would be reduced by 3.4 percent in fiscal year 2013, and 4.5 percent in calendar year 2013. We are suffering now with a "slow" recovery of 2 percent growth or slightly less, with unemployment still about 7.9 percent. The cliff recession would wreck our economy and make our current national pain seem pleasant.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the fiscal cliff.]
Worse, the suffering would not gain us much. Taxes would rise on all Americans, including those least able to pay, but little would have been done to reduce the entitlements which are the long-term drivers of our deficits and debt.
According to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, our national security would also be imperiled. As would healthcare: Doctors' reimbursements would be cut 27 percent, and many would no longer accept Medicare and Medicaid patients. Nearly 30 million more middle class Americans would be subject to the Alternate Minimum Tax, a form of torture now reserved for more affluent taxpayers.
Also included in the fall would be a failure to extend the debt ceiling. The country would default on its debt and not be able to borrow. Hollywood might be able to dream up a more horrible "nightmare" scenario, but jumping off the cliff will be worse than most normal people can imagine.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]
There are some members of Congress who have expressed support for the "let 'er rip" concept: That is, forget the negotiations and just jump of the cliff. They see it as a good way to bring more tax revenue, and expect good policy to arise from the ashes of the fall.
Falling—or jumping—off the cliff is good policy, but only if you like recessions, enjoy unemployment, and don't mind living in the ashes. The economists who tell us the fall means a recession are not fooling. The cliff is real, and the fall will be painful. Responsible politicians will avoid it at all costs.

Briefly: AirPort Extreme teardown, Microsoft updates Office for Mac
06/12, 2:20pm
iFixit's tear down reveals one of Apple's most repairable products
Tech site iFixit has uploaded a new teardown for the latest AirPort Extreme, Apple's first 802.11ac wireless base station. Opening the device revealed an interior space to allow for a hard drive to be installed, however hopes of at-home storage upgrades were dashed by no available plug-in options on the logic board. The AirPort Extreme offers a Delta Electronics 12V, 5A power supply, much akin to Mac Mini technology. Thanks to a simply disassembly iFixit staff have categorized the wireless base station, along with Apple TV and Mac Mini, as the most repairable Apple product in recent history.

Let me say up front that I'm likely to be rather confrontational in my early responses here. You are someone who has played no visible role in Linux audio over the last decade, you've said a bunch of stuff about digital audio that isn't true, and I've also watched your talk on desktop linux from last year in which you said a bunch of misleading or outright false stuff about that area as well. This doesn't mean that you're a bad or stupid person, but for me personally, it creates a barrier. I apologize for that.
unfortunately, DLL's have a better track record. PLL's make sense when you are trying to track phase, which is not the case here. on the other hand, had you actually been in the linux audio community at any point in the last 10 years, you'd probably be familiar with: http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/papers/usingdll.pdf
which you should know is precisely why a DLL is more suited for this purpose. but anyway, its all a bit academic, because its far more important what constants you use with either a PLL or a DLL than precisely which variant it is.Also our sample rates in physics are several orders of magnitudes higher of that found in audio.
oh really? see, this is another example of why i feel that you know just enough about digital audio to be dangerous, but not enough to get it right. Something you think is a "no brainer" is actually the source of significant disagreement: http://blog.bjornroche.com/2009/12/i...out-there.htmlIn the kernel of course, because for one, sample format conversion is a no brainer,
your comments on floating point vs. fixed point are about a decade out of date, and simply wrong. i'm thinking back to your post at ardour.org in which you said:
this just isn't true. the main use to non-integer formats is to avoid clipping due to overflow during summing. it has nothing to do with "large dynamic range".The main reason to use floating point numbers in audio is for space efficiency when storing large dynamic range audio.
the choice between floating point and fixed point comes down to implementation availability and speed. on general purpose computers, which overwhelmingly dominate the systems on which linux runs, floating point is nearly always faster, except on systems which don't provide it at all. there is no widely accepted fixed point math library (people differ on the best ways to implement certain aspects).A lot of people, especially those coming from PC programming, have a rather low regard for fixed point stuff, for some reason I can't fathom.
its very very far from the most important reason: at any point in time, fixed point DSP has historically offered a better $/computation ratio than floating point hardware, and thus people who need to sell gear used fixed point. whenever they do so, they can rightly say "its faster, and cheaper". the problem is that this state of affairs lasts approximately 10-15 months, at which point, the then-available general purpose systems have floating point that is as fast or faster than what the customer bought. this is why all serious audio software for windows, os x, linux and other systems using floating point for audio, and not fixed point.But if you look around in the high performance, high precision DSP business, most signal processing is done in fixed point there. And that's for good reasons; avoiding loss of precision is one of them.
so you plan to replace the cost of some context switches with the cost of converting floating point (which will continue to be the overwhelmingly dominant form in user space, unless you manage to figure out how to get cross-platform developers to switch too) to and from floating point. you cannot be serious. remember, the hardware will still be integer and in some cases floating point.You can do floating point in the Linux kernel, it's just frowned upon. kernel_fpu_begin and kernel_fpu_end allow for FPU register save, restore. But KLANG doesn't need it, because it does everything fixed point.
i'll continue on with some points from your post at ardour.org ...
goodbye SSE/SSE2/SSE3. sigh.KLANG's internal stream format gives at least 8 bits of foot- and headroom for all samples in it. Gain/attenuation is applied by factoring the multiplicator to the closest radix 2 and remainder. Then a bitshift is applied followed by multiplication with the remainder.
You cannot be serious. Its hard to take anyone seriously who would claim such a thing. You think that two processes both touching an mmap'ed region in user space causes some kind of kernel hell? this is just ridiculous - you make it appear that you don't know how shared memory works at all! the address spaces have the region mapped. when each process touches part of the region NOTHING HAPPENS - its a memory access.Sorry, but this is just FUD. How do you think data is exchanged between user space processes? You cross the userspace-kernel boundary twice doing so. Any sort of IPC always involves system calls. Even if it goes over shared memory. Because shared memory is actually shared address space and all sorts of "kernel-hell" breaks loose, touching it.(from me) This makes it very inefficient to implement inter-application audio, since everything has to make extra transfers across the kernel/user space boundary.
Lennart's design (which he called glitchfree) is more or less identical to coreaudio's. but it doesn't do ANYTHING to deal with your concerns about power consumption under low latency conditions and doesn't substantively alter my point about low latency audio being the reason why power consumption goes up. Whether its the audio interface interrupt that wakes up the CPU and/or the user space process that wants to write every 8 samples, something is keeping the CPU busy. end of story.But then Lennart Poettering (re-)discoverd a rather old method this is one of the few cases where I think he did something good how you could get low latency even when operating with large buffer sized. This might sound impossible, but only as long as you assume a filled buffer being intouchable. If you accept, that one may actually perform updates on a already submitted buffer, just slightly ahead from where it's currently read from (for example in a DMA transfer) you can get latency down, even with larger buffers. Lennart implemented this in PA when they were approaching very long buffers (256ms and longer) on mobile devices, but still needed low latency for audio events.
Moving onto API design. There are two basic models for streaming media on any system. One of them is often called "push" and the other is called "pull". In the push model, applications are free to write/read what data they want, when they want to (they may behave in an isochronous manner, if they are smart, or they might read/write in semi-random bursts: either way, they get to make the choices about when and how much data to receive from/deliver to an endpoint. In the pull model, it is the endpoint (typically an actual audio interface) that determines how much data is to be processed, and when it needs to be done.
Now, it is entirely possible to write code that uses the push model and actually behaves, over time, very similarly to what happens under a pull model. A few people do this. But its not a coincidence that every serious audio API for low latency work (ASIO, CoreAudio, WaveRT, JACK and more) all use a push model: the system decides how much data needs processing and when, and the apps just do what they are told.
Why does this matter? It matters because although its very easy to add a push API on top of a pull API (Just Add Buffering (TM) : you're done), it is more or less impossible to add a pull API on top of a push API and simultaneously offer low latency. Several APIs on different platforms over the years have tried this, and they've all been absolutely useless (I'm looking at you, OpenAL).
So, coming back to your beloved unix system calls, open/read/write/ioctl do not permit the creation of a pull API without increasing latency by at least one "period" (to use ALSA terminology). but then, moving on, they encourage developers to treat audio (or video) i/o as if its file i/o - a process without time deadlines. read when you want, write when you want. now as i said, the developer doesn't have to do it that way - they can block sensibly and sort of model a poll/select call - but here's the reality: the overwhelming majority do not. most developers don't have a clue about realtime programming and they need serious nudging to even go halfway in the right direction. this is no fault of their own - they shouldn't really have to know too much. but the unix system call API has absolutely no notion of timeliness and it does nothing to encourage people to design their code around a push model. That's why JACK (and CoreAudio, and ASIO and WaveRT) do not allow developers to write in a push style unless they use some additional library that does buffering for them (there are at least two of these for JACK). You will note that one of the entire reasons why CoreAudio has been so successful is because it forces EVERY application on OS X, even a pathetic little email notification applet that wants to make a beep, use the same pull-based, threaded audio API that Logic, Digital Performer and Cubase/Nuendo have to use. An API that looks absolutely nothing remotely like open/read/write/ioctl.
But stepping back again, here's the meta problem with your entire KLANG proposal/idea. I've been preaching this stuff online and at conferences for nearly a decade now. I've discussed this stuff many times with many people on the linux audio developers mailing list, on the JACK mailing list, and back in the day, even on the ALSA development mailing list. I've been on forums explaining to people who know even less about digital audio than you how things work, and why things have converged on common solutions on all major OS platforms, and what the benefits and disadvantages of those common solutions are. And then one morning, someone on IRC points at your page, which contains a bunch of handwaving half-truths that appear to have formed completely in a vacuum, without any interaction with any of the people who really know about and understand digital audio (on linux, or any other platform for that matter).
You could have showed up on LAD or the JACK ML, or a half dozen other places, and proposed some new ideas. People would have argued with you and you would have changed their minds or they would have changed yours. At the end of the day, we'd either have an idea for a better new "grand design", or we'd back to wondering how/if/when/why to take the next step forward.
Instead, you've designed KLANG in a bubble, misunderstanding so many of the small details that are ultimately why it tends to take years to get one of these systems right, and you've handed the morons on reddit and slashdot who just want to froth at the mouth about how bad linux audio another shiny new diamond. This is not helpful. Schemes that call for moving policy into the kernel, require rewriting every single audio device driver, that replace cheap context switches with (relatively costly) format conversions (and I didn't even get into how the number of context switches is identical typically only 2 greater than without JACK anyway), that removes interposition by reverting to the unix system call API that was designed before realtime streaming was even a twinkle in dennis ritchie's eye ... i'm sorry, but this is so far from helpful that its just offensive.
