Read MoreIn the beginning I did not like this school at all. It was something that I was not used too whatsoever. It is not in an extremely large town and to the naked eye there is not much to do. It is a big commuter school so that makes campus pride a little non-existent, but you have to fnd the right group of people to be around.

The current Congress has worked just as many days as its legislative predecessors. It just has a lot less to show for it.
According to a CNN analysis of congressional records that looked at bills that became law and the number of days lawmakers worked, members of the House have spent more than 150 days and Senate just over 140 days in session so far, comparable to previous Congresses at this point in the term.
But of the thousands of measures introduced, only 132 passed both. About one-fifth of those measures were to approve official names for post offices.
In the previous Congress, the House worked 286 days and the Senate worked 349 days. That Congress passed 383 bills, according to Library of Congress records. Each Congress spans a two-year cycle.
The logjam means important pieces of legislation -- such the transportation funding bill and measures to address high student loan rates and, yes, even the budget -- haven't passed.
It wasn't always this way.
Leaders on both sides of the aisle point to the split nature of the current Congress -- with Republicans controlling the House and Democrats the Senate -- as the source of partisan showdowns that have further slowed legislative progress.
However, the 107th Congress, which spanned 2001 and 2002, was a period in which the Senate majority changed three times while Republicans maintained control of the House. It was also a time of political unity after the 9/11 attacks. During that Congress, lawmakers enacted the No Child Left Behind Act, created the Department of Homeland Security and authorized the use of military force against Iraq among other pieces of legislation.
In all, that Congress passed 377 measures.
The 111th Congress in 2009 "was exceedingly productive. It was a time of unified government," said Thomas Mann, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and co-author of "It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism."
"If you look at major legislation passed, it ranks with the most productive in modern history."
That year, the Democrat-controlled Congress passed the health care reform law. The controversial measure's passage ushered in a new era of tea party-backed Republican freshman and gave the GOP control of the 112th House in 2010. Those freshmen vowed to repeal the health care reform act and crack down on government waste and abuse.
But in helping slow what they see as a runaway freight train of federal bills, they've also helped slow the pace of government, political experts say.
Take for example, last year's government shutdown battle over trimming the national debt. Tea party freshmen, true to their word, pushed hard against any compromise, demanding debt reductions only be offset by spending cuts, not revenue increases.
"The Republican majority in the House, it has been one of the least productive in modern history, not surprisingly," Mann said.
There are also fewer measures being sent over to the respective chambers for votes. For example, during the politically split 107th Congress, the House sent the Senate 346 measures and the Senate sent the House 199. In this Congress, the House has so far sent the Senate 198 bills and the Senate has sent the House 58.
The legislative year isn't over. They still have nearly six months left, minus any vacation days, the August recess and home-visit days. Congress has passed a number of measures extending federal funding as well as free-trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama.
But barring a mathematical miracle, it is unlikely this Congress will make up the legislative shortfall, especially during an election year when the focus is on campaigning and getting re-elected.
Follow us on Twitter @CNNPolitics Join us on Facebook/CNNPolitics
Both parties are quick to assign blame for the legislative slowdown.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, recently called on House Speaker John Boehner to nix additional recesses, although some saw it as more of a political move.
"Instead of recessing yet again, the House should remain at work and pass critical legislation that will create jobs for the middle class that will actually be signed into law. Republicans must not run out the clock on the economy," Pelosi wrote Boehner in a letter.
The House recessed anyway.
CNN reached out to Boehner's office for comment, but the office referred questions to other representatives.
Other Republicans have made similar complaints about Democrats.

Galaxy SII praises over SGIII, IMO..
T-MO GN II 4G FanDROID - 07-31-2012, 02:22 PM #28
"Play along" how? They don't really have any connection.
My boss pulled out his new Samsung Galaxy SIII as he was talking to one of our heads of Technology (an SVP) today. The HOT (who knows his stuff and just got a new iphone) said, and I quote "...you've got arguably the best phone that's ever been made. Everything I hear about it is just up there.... iphone won't even be able to compete with it..." Unquote. Wow! Impactful because this wasn't just anyone saying this, he seriously knows his stuff and I'm not talking just smartphones.
Kudos to Samsung... love my SG3. - 07-31-2012, 03:37 PM #30
Are you kidding me? Most people I know work in the tech industry use Android. A child would not know how to use Custrom ROMs or flahs a new kernel. I see more teenagers with Blackberry Curves than with an Android phone. I use widgets and my phone can hold its charge, only takes an hour or so to fully charge it. As for the apps, have you seen the play store? now Compare it RIMs appworld.

I don't know what you mean by play along... as has been said, they aren't connected at all unless you connect them via a mobile hotspot. But you can do that with any phone with that ability.
If it's of any interest, one of the first things I did when I got my SIII was test my mobile hotspot and Bluetooth with the Playbook. I just wanted to test it, so a friend and I did checked how it worked. Had no trouble detecting and connecting and so if I want to use my Playbook where there's no wi-fi I know I can. Also my email was still going to my Playbook. I just took off all my acounts from the Playbook as there was no point having them there any more.
Having said that, because the screen on my SIII is so good and such a decent size I find I don't need to carry my Playbook around as much as I did before. I now mostly use it for games and at home with wi-fi. Whenever I hold my Playbook I still marvel at the screen resolution and how it all works...I still think it's a really, really cool piece of kit. - 09-26-2012, 12:27 PM #32
I used my S3 extensively over the last week traveling the nation and have a better perspective of the capability of the S3. One thing is it's an outstanding navigation device. Any issue I had was purely my own fault. But even those were few. I quickly learned to search for destinations in the nav app itself rather than Googling locations and navigating to them that way. Searching in the nav app will bring up the closest location first and successive locations farther away. Searching in Google won't necessarily list the closest location first.
The multitasking ability is quite satisfying as well. Being able to listen to music or watch a video while navigation was splendid. I didn't have any trouble with it either. It worked flawlessly the whole time. And one thing that floored me was the speed of LTE in other locations of the nation. Atlanta Georgia was particularly well working. I downloaded a 20MB app in 1 second. Here in OKC, it would have taken about 4 or 5 seconds.
Very happy with the S3. - 10-01-2012, 12:36 PM #33
I bought a Samsung Flipcase cover for my S3 and am surprised how well it looks and adds to the appearance of the S3. I chose the Pebble Blue cover and the backplate is darker than the chrome'ish blue hue of the OEM backplate. It adds better contrast between it and the lither surround on the phone. Makes it look sweeter. The front flap over the screen is very ridgid and well made. It's built with supreme precision too. The texture of the flap is like brushed aluminum.
If anyone wants one, Amazon has them for under $20. AT&T has the white, blue and red ones for $50. The red one from AT&T was exceptionally gorgeous - kinda like a candy apple look on the backplate. - 11-09-2012, 02:19 PM #34
Re: Galaxy S3 praise
Had my HTC Vivid, but dumped it about a month ago in favor of the SGSIII. Best phone i've ever had, and that include the original BB Bold, which was the best for it's time.

Re: Galaxy S3 praise
You know, how many phones back in the day were said to be "the iPhone killer?" No one got it right, until the SGS3. There are SO MANY different Android devices out there that it's been hard to keep them all straight and tell them apart from each other. Besides the Evo, I've never personally known two people to have the same Android device at the same time. Now, I know 6 off the top of my head. One friend of mine is kicking himself for getting a different phone because it was a good deal at the time, but then the SGS3 came out a month later. I see the SGS3 in the wild a lot. It really is a truly amazing device.

Re: Galaxy S3 praise
+1 for that. Beats the iPhone 5, hands down. Two of my daughters have the "5", and they would steal my SGSIII if they could. Have to wait to see how it stacks up against the BB10 devices, but like it or not, right now Samsung does have the next greatest thing.LOL

Re: Galaxy S3 praise
In September I went on a road trip with my best friend and his boyfriend. The boyfriend was all excited because he had just preordered the iPhone5 (coming from either the 4 or 4s, not sure which). Everyone else in the group had an Android device and he kept saying "I really don't know how you guys live without iPhones." It was your typical Apple fanboy stuff. Then he got the phone...and he's underwhelmed but he tries not to show it. I went out with them a couple weeks ago and he's begging my bestie to use his upgrade on a SGS3 so he can play with it!!
"Dogs does not a chicken catch." - Piper Chapman - 11-14-2012, 09:21 PM #41
Screen brightness is decent and it's easy to change on the fly. There's a brightness indicator built into the notification tray. Battery is pretty great. This is the first Android device I haven't needed to buy back up or extended batteries for. I can easily make it through a day of moderate use.
"Dogs does not a chicken catch." - Piper Chapman - 11-16-2012, 04:53 PM #42
I've had the S3 since release day and is easily the best phone I have used. I usually switch phones often and get board of them. Not this one. I've been running AOKP Jellybean on it for 2 months now. I've had 4 friends in the last month ditch their i4, 4S or iPhone 5 for the S3 and the best decision they made they said. So much to do on this phone.
The GS3 is still the king of smooth. I dropped in my local AT&T store to play with all the new toys and checked out the new Note 2. It has Android 4.1.1 and was less smooth than my GS3. That's saying a lot because Android 4.1x is much more refined and smooth than Android 4.0x. Yet my GS3 is completely stock with Android 4.0.4 and is smoother than the fantastic quad-core, Jelly Bean-equipped Note 2.
A phone that AT&T has that is smoother than the GS3 is the LG Optimus G. Now that is a truly fantastic powerhouse phone. Smoother and faster than greased lightning.
EDIT - By the way, when I said the GS3 is the king of smooth, I was actually meaning between the Note 2 and it. Although the GS3 is one of the smoothest phones around, it is bested by the Optimus G.Last edited by Marty_LK; 11-18-2012 at 04:33 PM.
Re: Galaxy S3 praise
I just bought a s3, brand new from rogers white. Best browsing device I ever had, I also use a bold 9900 heavily.
Marty, as I said I've been running Jellybean for a few months now. If you think the S3 is smooth on ICS you are in for a massive treat when JB lands soon. It isn't even funny how smooth the S3 runs JB. I've been switching Between Cm10 and AOKP and the performance is ridiculously insane. Absolutely love it.

Right this is probably old news that tablets can be used for games. But I had no idea of the power that some on the modern tablets were capable of till a few days ago. Currently were on the brink on a new generation of consoles in development. As historically these consoles will come out with mid ranged current PC hardware and capabilities. So were expecting something along the lines of: Dual core, 4GB of ram, hard drive, Blu ray, and a mid tier GPU so for namesake a HD6850 1GB. Now look at the first generation of Ultra tablet. Dual core, 2GB of ram, hard drive, Integrated GPU. DirectX compatible and fully functional on already existing and new PC titles. A good example is the acer iconia w700 It's available with a dual core I5, and the HD4000 GPU. It also runs on a full version of windows 8. Meaning it can play older games quite well. Added into that it is also a tablet, Portable, and has the connectivity to be used with USB controllers, and a full size screen. I'm not saying this generation of ultra tablet is going to compete with the current range of consoles. But when that PS4 hits the shelves in 2 years time the price of these tablet is going to make people think twice about where they put the money. The current acer is very expensive, But as with all pc hardware the market will level to a reasonable price. I suspect these Ultra tablets in 2 years will be retailing for £450-500. And at that price they could destabilise the console market. Added to that the utterly huge PC games catalogue means that these tablets already have more games of more genre's available to them than any other portable device. I'm seriously thinking of having on of these over any next generation console. Just wait for the Chinese to figure out a way to get a better GPU in there, and a few more USB slots and I think you could have a full PC/console replacement.
I just don't see portable devices making a big impact on console sales. Perhaps sometime in the future but later rather than sooner.
In my opinion portable devices will make consoles obsolete. I don't know when, but I do not think it will be very long at all. If you look at the history of the console, they have gone from a gaming device to home entertainment centers. With the advent of much better wireless technologies in televisions there will soon be no need to plug anything in to the TV. When it reaches maturity, any device will communicate with the television and mobile devices will be the option most people choose as they will fill many more needs than the consoles have the ability to do. Many in the industry have (wrongly) predicted the demise of the PC, but due to it's overall ability to serve in any capacity that a user wants (games, server, etc.) they aren't going anywhere. The same cannot be said for the consoles as their limitations place them squarely in the crosshairs for being replaced by high powered mobile devices. If anything there will be a merger of the two. Conslets? Tabsoles? Who knows, but in any case they will be a mobile device. Thanks for the thread, Iceni. I was going to do an editorial on this exact subject but the crowd sourcing topic is a little hotter lately.
I suspect it's going to depend more on the price of the next generation of consoles. But I think these tablets actually have a future and represent a big market share that will be lost from consoles. It's Further backed up by the fact that a lot of schools require the use of a tablet now. So the next generation of gamers is going to know and understand the form factor and be wanting to push that. I seriously think they will be making gaming tablets. Bluetooth controllers. And an HDMI dock for the HD tv. Your pretty much set with the added bonus of been able to disconnect it and use it as a PC as well. Moreover It has the potential to be usable on the move, Granted battery life will be shoddy, but laptops have the same problems. I suppose the biggest barrier is going to be the publishers. If they decide this platform is strong enough then we could see games been made for PC/tablet, with ports to console. However since the PC platform is already established making that progression is just a matter of incorporating touch screen/game pad commands into the PC variant and keeping the regular scalability of the graphics. And I never thought I would say it but Win8 might actually save PC gaming for a slow lingering decay. It like everything else will depend on trends. If Ultra tablets take off then the PC games market may boom again as people reinvest in older titles from cloud based services. There are literately 100's of titles that would look great and play at very good FPS on that W700, and that is to be regarded as a weaker version of what will come. A slightly better GPU on the W700 and it could play skyrim for example! Hell I reckon it could just scrape by on about 25FPS on it atm so a better gpu and that's skyrim on the train! HD4000 skyrim
Try getting a venture capitalist to invest in a console game and then try again for a mobile game. VCs have almost abandoned console games in favor of the mobile market. That could be due to the current generation of consoles being long in the tooth, but I think the writing is on the wall if anyone takes the time to glance at the wall.
Is the HD4000 IGP really considered a comparison for consoles? Stuff a low power APU in there and I would consider it for some form of gaming...
I think you mistake the mobile market for the social network. PSV even tho mobile is still in the console sector. Venture capitalists have seen the effects of free advertising and P2W with the social networking scene. It's still in it's infancy, But just wait for steam to capitalise on the fact if can have a steam app for a game that can run using the power of a pc, whilst retaining the ability to have updates over facebook and P2W. Once you take away java, and add back in hardware you develop the PC arms race again I like it. No it isn't, But that's not the point. It's the technology to put a full cpu in a tablet that comes first. Once we see a HD6850 shrunk to bellow laptop size and squeezed in then these tablet will be = to a next gen console.... And that will happen.
I just think people are realizing how stuff isn't as linear as it was and we have more options to satisfy more people. I don't think any of the current configurations will "die" at all.... stuff will just get more spread out....
They are melding into one and the same. Do you know anyone who has a mobile device that does not use social networking? Start looking for APUs not only in mobile devices, but place in televisions. We will not see a more spread of functionality, but a convergence. I could be completely wrong and as always this is my opinion, but if I'm not send me money because I told you so.
GTA III 10th anniversary edition on iPad isn't very good. not only does it look bad but try running around liberty city tapping the screen.. core gaming doesn't work on tablets and I can't stand social gaming. I can't even be bothered to play Angry Birds while I wait in line at Wendy's.
While the chart you posted has some relevance, it's a study of kids ages 6 to 12, and only in the US. I do understand that parents tend to buy what their children want, but I don't think that the 6 to 12 age group is a good indicator of the total market consumption of these devices.
I don't want to give up multiple monitors, 65" plasma or 55" OLED and a home theater for a 9" screen and a bluetooth controller that looks like a 360.
I like your graph BumbleBee. It's a shame it's speculative at best for what kids want rather than what they will get It's a shame that "cool" will always win. The other thing your missing is mass marketing. The stuff aimed at 12-16 year olds is heavily marketed and serves as a status symbol. When those same kids go to their mates houses in 2 years time and someone plugs in a tablet and they all play for hours then the "cool" shifts. It's how trends develop. It's functionally the same as when I was a child. Megadrive/genesis then SNES hits, everyone wants the new console. However the bulk of gaming is done by people who are over 18. In full time work, and have access to personal funds rather than needing to be gifted items. In this respect the iPad is actually an easy target. Functionally it's a glorified internet browser. If you add more functionality to the device and more power then the weaker device only has the cool factor left to sell on. Added into that iOS cannot do any gaming outside of a java environment. Once you can actually have some hardware functionality on a device then the hardware becomes more important that the branding. WIN8 is not only a new O/S sent to be the bane of desktop users I think it's the next evolution away from cut down tablets allowing the hardware to be used with tried and tested software, in an environment that people feel comfortable with. That evolution is going to cause a few extinction events. And I personally think that the first casualties will be any market that cannot evolve. So that's the consoles, and iO/S. The only way iO/S could be redeemed is if M$ decide to licence DX to them and licence an installer for iO/S. And lets face it atm M$ would not do that since tablets already have plenty of competition without M$ been a monopoly on the market.
You are absolutely right. But what if that large screen TV had the capability of running games at 1080p with a good APU, it had enough internal storage to hold what you want (SSD) and it could be controlled from the mobile device of your choice (including a wireless console type controller, a wireless mouse and keyboard, or whatever)? I think that this kind of convergence is where the industry is headed, and I think that all of the hardware and software manufacturers know it. How they implement it remains to be seen, but the consumers are driving the market in that direction.
Surprisingly, today I was buying a laptop for a friend at a huge hardware store, and a Windows 8 shirt seller insisted that a W8 Tablet (non RT but full W8) is a powerful platform for anythng: just connect it to a HD screen, add a keyboard and a mouse and voila! You can run Excel, games or Photoshop... Price is still elite for the tablet "as is", but... I remember when I connected my nokia N8 phone (with mouse and hdmi support) to a huge tv and thoUGHT DO WE NEED ANYTHING ELSE?
It would be ideal for a single device to do it ALL. Say, a powerful tablet with wireless everything (keyboard, mouse, game controllers, etc.) and a dock at the TV (or desktop monitor) to provide power/charging and AV connections. This device would be your tablet, game console, desktop computer, HTPC, and stream box. Once that device comes out, many other devices would become obsolete. Easily done with today's technologies. The problem with this model is the impact it would have on sales of other devices. No one brand of device would reign supreme due to copywrite and other software rights issues. The only market left would be accessories. Look at all the iJunk that's available for iStuff. It can be done. Asus, I challange thee.
Gaming on pc's has always been plagued by "Is it fast enough" and many developers have simply had it with this problem. Years ago this was not much of a problem but as time goes on developers don't want to deal with this anymore. If you have XX amount of tablets made by XX amount of manufactures thenhow many of those people will be kids or just regular gamers and I have had the problems of people bringing me computers and saying, oh my games are too slow, and they had . . . . . . laptops, you can't upgrade a laptop(besides a few parts), you can't upgrade a tablet. So when you can't play a certain game a year after you buy it what will happen you buy another one, we will seriously need a new tablet every single year. In order for something like this to work we would need very powerful tablets and we really do not have that right now, most tablets can't even best what current consoles can do(hell pretty much none can) much less the next gen ones and even then I think there would have to be a closed environment among these tablets, similar to what apple does, but there is such a device sold right now similar to that, its the vita, the problem is that sony is letting the vita fail and its really a mess of a system right now.
You think that's a plague on the pc market?? lol, Most games are funded by venture capitalists, They look into all aspects of a product not just the now but the future and sideways investment as well. These capitalists often have high stakes in other markets other than games. This is a reasonable example. Capitalist invests in game, They force the developers to push the graphics to a point where it forces certain products from the playable table. They then invest in the graphics card companies who are going to benefit from increased sales. Once those graphics cards start to sell they sell off stock from the graphics card companies and reel in the royalties from the game. Provided your hardware is current. ~(less than 2 years old). Then you should be able to expect your system to play most current titles on the lowest settings. Older CPU's GPU's can be pushed from the table, as too can integrated graphics. This is where your laptop argument fails. Most consumers fail to buy a laptop with a better GPU. Gaming was never intended to be done on that system. The same spec machine with a discrete GPU can and probably does play the title without a problem. This falls down to consumer awareness, and manufacturer advertising. Back to tablets, A tablet ATM is capable in terms of CPU/GPU of playing skyrim. These tablets are powerful, and expensive. As we are aware technology will always filter into lower tiers, and smaller form factors. Tablets do not have to compete with desktops. The desktop will always win. However, a tablet that can produce decent frame rates, and offer similar eye candy to a console is always going to be a winner. The other nail in the coffin of the "is it fast enough" comment is consoles. Consoles limit and impair Moores law. In fact games have not developed since the XBox 360 came out. The "is it fast enough" arguments is now is it a bad port. Tablets firmly sit within a Moores law model. They should increase in power with a component equal to the desktop market. Added into that in a market where consoles are not a driving force in games development we will see a rise of the old " is it powerful enough" and this is where we should be. Moores law is what keeps your pc fresh and powerful, without the model you'd still be using a 386x86 playing chess master. The same model is also responsible for pushing hardware, And making sure new hardware eventually becomes old hardware. In a capitalist system without the drive and incentive to invest we the consumers miss out on having new better fast improvements to our gear. granted the model can go out of line and we can see our gear become obsolete faster than it should. But again the capitalists try and moderate things to a level where a products gets the lifespan to warrant a decent profit return. A console fails again here as once the older tech inside them becomes obsolete you have no means or reinventing your market or driving it. Gaming tablets are very very promising. And the marketing model I expect we will see will be the demise of the console.
You can't just look at tablets as a single entity, you have to look at the advent of technology entering other markets as well. Let's say that LG (or whomever) released a television that had a high-end graphics processor built in with a decent amount of SSD storage for games that could be controlled by a tablet and an add on keyboard and mouse or controller for input? Why would you any longer need a PC for gaming?
yup with the tv's getting bigger and the hardware getting smaller it's not hard to forsee a highend gaming tv. Thing costs 4 grand already, the profit margin is there too. network capable tv's and blu-ray players have already replaced media center computers. I stream content from my nas, my player has a web browser for net as well as the normal netflix hulu +, etc. It's not hard to see where things are going. I'm telling you, you'll have a tv and a mobile device, you won't need a pc pretty soon. (granting in this context tv's essentially become aiw pc's so your tv is your pc, you just won't need a seperate one for that purpose, but wil 3 tv's per household you'll likely have several of varying capabilities) I don't see anything wrong with it either, why wouldn't you want to game on a 65"-80" screen? you really think your 24" is all that?
Consoles surpassed dual core spec long ago. That said, it looks like the much hyped Wii U is going to be short on CPU power for some games. Also, it's not so much HOW they spec consoles, it how long a life span they try to juice out of each generation. You can take the best gaming hardware there is, and at the end of 10 years it's still going to be crap. As for tablets for gaming, though they're far more sophisticated than phones, I still don't see them as a huge platform for avid gamers.
Because it wouldn't cost you like $2000? Assume the TV was a modest size--40''--there's $400; with a high-end GPU--the equivalent of a 7950--there's another $200+; some SSD--32GB?--there's $100+; a tablet there's $300; and a keyboard, mouse, and controller adds another $100. There's $1100 worth of electronics, but you know they'll charge a premium for having such an all in one system, so assume $1200 for that 40'' TV with gaming capabilities, and probably $300 for a Tablet, and $100 for inputs. That's a conservative guess at $1600 for what you're talking about. You're going to tell me you'd rather have all that shit than just buying and assembling a PC for about $600-800 and getting a bigger or better TV without the gaming capabilities, and the input devices (KB\M\Controller) which would run you like $1200 total? Or a gaming console for $300 and a (better) TV for $600-700--total of $900-1000? People need to realize, Tablets are just the new in tech item. They won't ever completely replace Game Consoles or Desktop PC's, because they will never be as versatile. Their mobility and low profile forces them to make sacrifices when it comes to power, performance, control, and responsiveness. I hate playing most games on my phone or a tablet, because you always lack the precision you get with physical buttons, and I know most people feel the same way. Yes, games like Angry Birds work great on a tablet, but try playing something like Gran Turismo, or Gears of War, or Zelda on a tablet, and then tell me it's just as good. Also, as for the Tablet mentioned, that was a Tablet with a dual-core i5 with HD4000 iGPU, 2GB RAM, and a 64GB SSD. The exact one they reviewed cost $850-900. Not exactly a cheap investment.
have you seen the nvidia cloud computing? http://www.nvidia.com/object/cloud-gaming.html its pretty much gaming off your internet.

Use in Wisconsin since the Packers won the World Series Scott Walker routed the recall it wasn't even close.
But CNN kept calling it close.
Perhaps they met her.
But really that's Glenn Close by the way CC -- -- -- you could take it down now.
There -- ago but perhaps it's this face that says at all.
Yes it seems like -- neighbor kids might have stolen his -- well -- Others are taking it well.
When I'm just disappointed this is the in the democracy.
We just got -- spent 34 million to four million dollars.
This was this is the biggest election an American I hope you keep me on a night because this hurts us all every single -- out there in the nation if you're watching.
Democracy died in -- -- Democracy.
But -- more gracious losers like this supporter greeting Tom Barrett.
I usually pay forty bucks for that John Gibson's place but look what starts ugly and suddenly remember -- began.
The mobs that threats of violence yet those great giddy days in the media -- let's girl girl's school -- -- -- -- -- to watch David.
Take down black.
It's -- they got it backwards they're David was actually Goliath suing their heroism but normal array became the thuggery of on the waterfront the media -- grand.
With the recall and OWS.
Hacks and even President Obama just kept falling in love with -- -- Of course the left now cries about the cash spent on the recall recall they initiated.
It's -- smearing yourself with honey had been complaining about the bees.
Words Obama's people claiming boaters -- sent a strong response to walker what message was -- I'd love to -- the fact is that this -- and it was a correction.
With union -- -- someone had to slap that hand.
It was walker not Obama Obama -- to Twitter.
Happy among 140.
Other minor characters.
Want I know you agree with everything I said so I don't even want to ask you this question -- But Debbie Wasserman Schultz called this recall effort a dry run for whites losing.
-- I look at.
I think it was a big loss for the unions I think it was devastating opinions who definitely wanted to get walker out of there.
Yeah but you know what I think this is less of a Petri dish for the fall and for the November election.
-- is evidence of the power of Republican national Republican money that went in there.
And really fed this recall that the -- walker against this recall effort.
And I think that it's an effort to break unions as a source of money.
We're Democrats nationally and in that sense it is really bad news because there is no counter the natural counter to all the big money that comes from the Republican billionaires is the money that came from the app from the -- but -- A -- shaking your head like someone -- -- had a lot how.
Disappointed this -- is the unions are the foot so -- shall foot soldiers for the Democratic Party often not by their own choice that.
But now have athlete's foot and they need a cure.
Them and I'm back I'm back there I.
And it's always the excuse they spent more money -- we get it possibly be.
Because Scott Walker got results could have possibly be that the with state of Wisconsin decided to hold our heads a little higher thinking that they -- -- race some of their debt that they were back -- on a path of fiscal sanity that this could possibly be true.
When it comes as Democrats -- when -- explaining a loss like that instead of just saying well this is a and -- -- a -- frames a teachable moment.
-- fire that of the unions and said they're basically just wallowing in their own unpopularity.
And the reason it was national was not because Scott Walker wanted to be national Democrats made it a national member of -- whole it was a big deal -- all the does this strikes and then all the protests and they stayed inside and they didn't shower for like six weeks.
And then a year and a half later after he gets results they have egg on their face and it's because Republicans -- a national -- and but at on the things atom -- get back.
Yet they asked for this fight air what do you make -- this is the end.
Of democracy as we know what's.
I here's what I make of it I think if I -- Mitt Romney I would run out and hire Scott Walker's campaign the -- extra bump take back campaign manager take him because.
Scott Walker was a better.
Candidate Scott Walker was better prepared Scott Walker was placed out there better and Scott Walker had -- lot better financing.
I'm a better infrastructure so whatever walker did Mitt -- we should start taking don't make me.
And bring those people over.
But also.
Unions got fault they got -- they got spank them they got -- by the taxpayer and -- that is unusual that hasn't happened in a long time an American ball.
That's -- wanted to be very concerned about this and when you think about the tens of millions of dollars that -- -- deeply invested.
And -- locker it was an abysmal failure when you look at the percentage point it was a resounding victory an affirmation for what walker was trying to do.
And we see other cities and states trying to follow suit which is going to be significant.
And a problem along with the job numbers for Obama come November.
Yet -- -- walker was elected he did when he was supposed to do he got rid of that high speed train.
Which thank goodness -- I love it when it when he got rid of the train that actually was telling the federal government we're going to.
Not take 800 million dollars worth of federal funds -- let me think that this train is a bad investment for our state.
We're gonna walk away from and I think of people said.
Where Wiki on that and they started seeing results and that's why it's -- look across the country to Republican governors all around.
Daniels Perry Haley Christie -- McDonnell Kasich in -- in particular Pawlenty good throwing their Jeb Bush.
They have a true experience as executives they are making a big difference and that's where I think the real power is a threat that the leadership the leader.
I hit -- guys -- telling the truth and I appreciate it because now it's good.
And I did it go you said -- it was the Democrats to start this -- it was walker it was -- Democratic Party.
Look at it they wanted to be caught on and on I would use that -- they started who started the people who said rather than negotiate with the unions we're gonna strip you of all your bargaining rights.
And we're gonna do it by forcing it -- a Republican majority in the legislature.
When the unions then responded and I don't think they responded all that effectively but -- -- big protest in the legislators Democrats walking away from the state I think irresponsibly.
Then it was then at that point that you then had this big fight set -- and I think you know what Mitt Romney didn't show up the -- walker.
Mitt Romney is -- president has.
President Obama didn't show us that -- -- you don't know whether honest I don't Greg all day ye -- we saw it's too close calls him vehicles raced every network every left leaning network was saying.
It's gonna come down a last minute decision -- what the what the vote.
Turnouts going to be easier to dictate who wins.
Up until even through the exit polls are saying it's -- clubs and it does.
They walker landslide it was a landslide 49 medalists like forty -- -- -- 49 minutes they called.
That's that's a land since CNN what do they -- if they switch is always a surprise whatsoever to royalty yeah.
-- what they moved to the tent covering the royal they -- Diamond Jubilee.
Instead of watching guys.
Governor what we haven't see if -- Republicans and if the Republicans have lost last night.
This would be the biggest story going.

Forcing this thing through in such a way as to actually antagonize polarize the state of Wisconsin.
Like doing a bottle there on on national agenda and let me say that's fun yeah of course it's not the music -- -- There weren't and that you don't think that was rammed -- no I do that under a Democrat majority.

Universal health care.
And let me ask -- -- -- public option in in the healthcare plan the President Obama put forward no because the Republican opposition you know we gotta we gotta double we're gonna come back to this because it's getting quite heated and -- -- -- -- I have to what did you -- -- I intercepted a postcard -- really.
I'll have to check it out if you can take this now bomb you take it to.
Yep that's right that's why the same voters that voted -- -- -- Also I indicated that they would support President Obama however Picasso's exit polls -- that this was -- -- be close and it wasn't our lives and yeah.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Ragan Collins
Ratcliffe E.S., second grade
During her six years at Ratcliffe Elementary School, Ragan Collins has quickly become the school's rock. Officially, Collins is a second grade teacher. Unofficially, she's a friend, mentor, assistant and encyclopedia all rolled into one. "Ninety-nine percent of the time, Ms. Collins can give you helpful information on any of our 460 students that attend Ratcliffe," a colleague wrote in a nomination letter. "Parents adore Ms. Collins, students are mesmerized by her and her colleagues use her for a resource at any given time of the day." Collins, who thought her love of children would lead to a career in pediatrics or child psychology, admits that she has a way with kids. "I refer to myself as a child-magnet," she says with a laugh. "Even when I'm out in public, strangers' children will reach for me. Her bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia is in psychology. "So, I can gauge what students need from me," she says. "Sometimes it's a hug, sometimes it's just me listening to them. "Every child is waiting to get that positive experience from school [but] there are some who have just never had a positive experience that has made them buy into it. That's the first thing that I'm going to do – try to get them to buy in." In the classroom, colleagues marvel at her ability to improve the reading skills of her students by one or two grade levels each year. The secret, she says, is not really a secret at all. "It's just giving them a comfortable space where they can have some meaningful practice. It's not that they can't read, it's not that they don't want to read – it's just that they're seven." To help give them extra practice, Collins constantly utilizes reading exercises across all topics, including social studies, math and other core subjects. And when a child who has struggled with reading finally breaks through? "It is my favorite part of the job," Collins says. "I'll see them blossom. . . and it is just an absolutely beautiful experience." Collins has regularly had several special needs students in her classes with mainstream students, but her approach is the same with all students. "There are 18 different personalities in my room at any one time," she said. "It's a constant balancing act to meet all of those needs. "I'm in a place where I feel like I really matter to the kids, a place where I feel like I've been instrumental in some of their successes. Every year I get that affirmation that, you know what? This is a pretty rockin' job." |

Residents in Nelson, which straddles the Cherokee-Pickens border, will head to the polls in a special election and choose between Edith Portillo and Tami Loggins to fill the council seat vacated by Larry Sellers, who resigned earlier this year.
Loggins, 51, said she's a lifelong Nelson resident and cares about the direction the city is going.
She said she decided to get involved in politics because she's become irritated about the recent happenings in the small city.
"Nelson means a lot to me," she said.
Loggins, who is self-employed as a property manager, said she's lived in the same home in the city for 21 years that belonged to her grandmother.
Loggins graduated from Cherokee High School and is a member of the Cherokee County Historical Society.
She has two sons, Blake and Blane Loggins.
Loggins said she hopes residents will cast their votes for her because she has a vested interest in the city.
"I hope that they would understand the love I have for the community," she said. "I have so many roots here. It means a lot to me."
While she said she does not have any specific issues she'd like to address if she's elected, Loggins said she hopes to have a voice in preserving the city's Edmondson Field.
Nelson received $250,000 of Cherokee County parks bond proceeds to make parks and recreation improvements in the city.
The city is working with the county on the design of its revamped park.
She also said she hopes to use her background in property management to help clean up the city because she's concerned about the city's appearance.
Portillo, 71, is not a newcomer to politics. She made an unsuccessful run for the Nelson City Council last year. She did not return calls for comment.
She and her husband Eddy moved from West Palm Beach, Fla., about six years ago.
She was raised in New York City and studied musical theater at the New York City School of Performing Arts.
Portillo, who is retired, was a semi-professional ballroom dancer in Miami for 18 years.

DIY Linux Gateway Super Router!!! i was having trouble with my netgear WNDR3300 rangemax with DDWRT lagging out if more than 1 person ran a bit torrent client so i needed a faster solution. what i tried the first time was running DDWRT on my ESXi server and it worked. it was fast but i now had the problem where i needed to be in the building to get the internet back on if the server went down. this turned into a pain so i wanted to build a small low power pc to handle the routing so i went on ebay and found a small 1ghz via industrial motherboard with dual 100mbit realtek network ports for just £20! http://www.boser.com.tw/detail_product.asp?Model=HS-2613 CPU: VIA V4 Eden processor 1GHz FSB: 400MHz FSB BIOS: Award PnP Flash BIOS System Chipset: VIA CX700(M) I/O Chipset: Winbond W83697UF System Memory: 1 x 200-pin SO-DIMM, DDR2 533MHz, Max. 1GB Storage: 1 x Type II CF socket Expansion Interface: 1 x PCI-104 slot DIO: 8-bit input/output port Watchdog Timer: Software programmable time-out intervals from 1~255 sec. or 1~255 min. H/W Status Monitor: Monitoring temperature, voltages, and cooling fan status Power Function: +10~30V DC IN Operating Temperature: 0~60 degrees C Operating Humidity: 0~95%, non-condensing Board Size (LxW): 145 x 102 mm I/O Port: 3 x RS-232 1 x RS-232/422/485 5 x USB2.0 (1 x external) 1 x IDE 1 x SATA 1 x PS/2 for KB/MS Chipset: VIA CX700(M) Display Memory: 32/64/128MB video memory LVDS: 24-bit single/dual-channel DVI: VIA CX700(M) TV-Out: Provides PAL or NTSC TV systems Resolution: VGA Mode: 1920 x 1440 LVDS Mode: 1600 x 1200 Chipset: VIA VT1708A Audio Interface: MIC In, Line Out Chipset: Dual RealTek RTL8100C Ethernet Ethernet Interface: 2 x RJ-45 when it arrived it had 2 wires soldered to the bottom of the router for testing plus power, reset and a pair of LEDs on the front panel header. i am testing it with installing windows to a ancient 1gb hard drive! I got DDWRT running no problem after putting the public x86 build onto a CF micro drive after i lost my 1gb card I ordered a plastic project box and i plan on taking my netgear router apart and fitting it into the box along with this motherboard and wire them to a single power supply it only uses 8.4W at idle and 10w under load so i should be able to run it and the netgear router from the 12v 3a power supply i have.
i ordered this box from ebay it should be big enough to fit everything inside Running DDWRT for the moment i think im going to install PFsense
this is a picture of the pcb of a netgear wndr 3300 i am going to solder 5 new new rp-sma antenna connectors to the pcb and mount them to the outside of the box 3 for the 2.4/5ghz N radio and 2 for the 54g radio so i can cut away most of the pcb around the edges untill i am left with the red square that should sit nicely below the via board. i also found this interesting a 12v ups http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PicoUPS-1..._UPS_Batteries_Components&hash=item2ead670729 its rated for 10a so it should have no problems powering the via motherboard, netgear router and my cable modem. i should get 6 hours with my 12v17a battery.
i am going to order 5 of these along with 3 of these dual band antennas and 2 of these TP-link 5dbi antennas i was thinking i wonder if i could fit my cable modem in along with them....
I was just searching dual LAN motherboard when I seen it at auction with no bidders. If you search for 3.5 motherboard or pc104 motherboard You should find one the same size but few have dual LAN. If I didn't find this it would have been a socket 479 itx board with a pentium m i would have got.
VIA has a list of all of their products on their website. http://www.viaembedded.com/en/ Maybe you can find something that looks decent on there and search for it on Google? Long term I want to get a VIA Quad 1.2Ghz to take over as a gateway. The Phenom II is fast but it eats more power than a VIA would. I personally like the idea of this: http://www.viaembedded.com/en/products/boards/1893/1/EPIA-M920.html with a VIA Quad core, but its a big on the pricey side if you can manage to find one. For a low power platform, it's looking pretty nice.
yea its a nice processor but the issue i have with it as a router is that you cannot use more than 1 core with most router os's and if you max one core to 100% then you will end up having performance issues. thats why i got rid of my dual core atom itx board . i used to use it as my file server with 4x external usb hard drives but just copying files maxed out one of the 4 HT cores so i replaced it with a mobile 2ghz core 2 duo that ran passive on just 1v. it actually used less power becasue it used the mobile version of the 945 chipset on its motherboard rather than the desktop one that the atom used and sucked 25w on its own. the new atoms are marginally better with the integrated memory controller and graphics for power consumption and performance but its still underpowered. my 1ghz via chip will beat most atom cpu's in single threaded performance and thats why i just went the single core route. what would be interesting with that via quad is having it in a laptop there i could see it being far more usefull.
ok the case arrived yesterday and i done the first test fit to see if my plan would work and it was almost perfect. the posts in the case obstruct the board slightly for lying flat. but i think i can grind out 2mm off the board so that it fits snug. stripped down my netgear wndr3300 and sat it on the case to give me a better idea of how it would fit and how much i would have to take off it and its a better fit than i expected. so next step is trim the motherboard so it sits flat then trim the router so it fits on to the bottom of the case and fit the antennas.
VIA makes a lot of really cool products if you're not in the market for high performance x86 chips. They make good low power components. Great for projects that don't require a ton of compute like a home server or a router or something along those lines. It gives you the flexibility of x86 while still being low power. It's probably a good reason why VIA has been able to hang on. The markets that VIA serves is really only threatened by AMD and bobcat/jaguar. I honestly believe that VIA has a good one up when it comes to SoC components. All the motherboards I had in the past that used VIA chipsets worked great. I've never been disappointed with a VIA product knowing what that product is intended to be used for.
(pic from ddwrt.com) this is what i need to solder the pig tails to on the netgear router in order to do the antenna mods.
Totally. I do remember when they were a bit more "mainstream" and consumer-oriented as well, though. An old gaming rig or two had VIA chipsets and used their "4-in-1" driver. Ah, memories...
I had a few of the via chipsets back in the day when it was all you could get for socket A other than the expensive nForce boards. The only thing that held it back from enthusiasts was the lack of pci frequency lock.
Mmmmm. I remember it well. Their newer chipset didn't have that problem though. I used to have an ASRock P4V88 that did an okay job many years ago with a 2.53Ghz P4 with a nVidia GeForce 6800 OC. That was some time ago.
yea the p4 chipsets didnt have the pci lock issue just the amd ones. but they had other issues like compatibility with pci-e 2.0 graphics cards. i have a board upstairs and of the graphics cards i tried in it only a couple would work. i tried - 8400gs 8600gs HD5450 HD4850 9800GX2 and only the 8400gs and HD5450 will work in it.
I am going to try just cutting the sides of the router off to begin with until the antennas arrive. This will leave me with 2 antennas on the N radio and a single antenna on the G radio located at the front of the router that should work well enough for me to use till the antennas arrive and allow me to make the router small enough for it to fit into the enclosure.
i used a small hacksaw and a pair of snips to trim the router down to the size i wanted. i needed to keep some of the antennas to keep the router operational untill the new ones arrived. this is my first test fitting to see how the router would go together and i found that the holes on the motherboard line up perfect with the case support posts all i had to do was trim one down slightly to leave clearance in the case for the motherboard to be held in place as you can see there is still alot of pcb sticking out the side of the case but this is just temporary all plugged in and being tested. i am running it with just the back exposed just now to see how much it heats up i might have to install a small fan and drill some holes if it gets too hot. things still to do= solder the power cables of the motherboard to the routers DC jack' drill cooling vents and possibly install a fan cut back panel to expose ports solder pigtails to fit external antennas install new switches for the router/motherboard rewire the router and motherboard leds into a custom front panel.
Geo how did you order that board? I looked on their website but could not find a place that had an order form?
i found it used at auction on ebay with no bidders i got it for £20 and £6 p&p its a 3.5 inch motherboard or pc104 motherboard
