WASHINGTON -- Former GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty said early Wednesday on MSNBC's Morning Joe that Republicans should back a minimum wage increase.
"If you're going to talk the talk about being for the middle class and the working person, if we have a minimum wage, it should be reasonably adjusted from time to time," the former presidential contender said on the morning cable program. "There are some basic things we should be for."
Pawlenty's comments come ahead of a Senate vote later today on a proposal supported by President Obama to boost the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 in three steps, concluding in 2016. The measure is supported by DFL Sens. Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar, both of whom have made floor speeches in the last two days in support.
Obama will also make remarks on the minimum wage later today. The vote is not likely to be taken up by the GOP-controlled House. Neither GOP Reps. John Kline or Erik Paulsen's office responded to questions on the wage hike Wednesday.
As Democrats were trumpeting Pawlenty's comments, the former governor made clear that his support for a minimum wage increase does not mean he backed the $10.10 an hour plan.
"The proposal being presented by the Senate majority goes too far and too fast," Pawlenty said in an email to Politico.
Pawlenty, who is now the CEO of the Financial Services Roundtable, has a significant history with minimum wage increase proposals.
As governor back in 2005, Pawlenty signed a Minnesota minimum wage hike. That measure lifted the state's wage floor from $5.15 an hour, where it had stagnated since 1997, to $6.15 an hour for large employers.
At the time, the hike had bipartisan support and primarily Republican opposition. Among the Republicans who voted against it -- then state Rep. Paulsen, who is now in the U.S. House.
In subsequent years, Pawlenty vetoed legislators' attempt to raise the state's minimum so it remained at $6.15 an hour, even as the federal minimum went up to $7.25 an hour. Since then, Minnesota has had one of the lowest minimum wages in the country.
But this year, the DFL-controlled Legislature and DFL Gov. Mark Dayton set out to change that.
After considerable debate, they approved a minimum wage increase. Earlier this month, Dayton signed into law an measure to raise the state's minimum to $9.50 an hour by 2016. Future increases would be tied to inflation, meaning the state's lowest wage workers would continue to get paycheck boosts after 2016 except in times of significant economic downturns.
On the Senate floor Wednesday, Franken said the oft-repeated argument among Republicans that the minimum wage doesn't help businesses isn't true.
"People who earn minimum wage spend the money they're earning," he said. "Workers who are better paid are better workers and are less likely to quit ... It helps business."
On Tuesday the U.S. Supreme Court struck down federal limits on how much an individual can give to campaigns in aggregate, which could allow high dollar donors to spread their largess to a wider swath of political hopefuls and parties.
Unlike the federal system, which essentially limited how many donations in total a donor could give, Minnesota law does not place restrictions on the number of campaigns to which a high-dollar donor can contribute.
Current state law allows donors to give massive amounts to parties or PACs and allows donors to spread their donations to as many candidates or party committees as they wish.
"We've never limited the amount that an individual donor can give to a whole group of candidates," said Gary Goldsmith, executive director of the Minnesota campaign finance board. "We don't limit at all the amount of money that an individual can give to a party."
Minnesota does place limits on how much candidates can accept from certain types of donors but Goldsmith said those restrictions were not considered by the court.
Other states, including Wisconsin, do have laws to limit the aggregate donations a contributor can spend in an election cycle, according to the National Institute of Money in State Politics. Those nine states' laws may be directly impacted by the federal decision.
The Supreme Court did not overturn the concept of limiting what a campaign can accept from a donor. Currently, donors are limited to giving $5,200 per candidate per election cycle to federal candidates. Minnesota law puts similar restrictions on what an individual can give to a single candidate.
The court's decision will have a much more far reaching impact on federal campaigns and parties, including those from Minnesota.
DFL chair Ken Martin said the ruling allows parties to tap donors for funds, even if those donors had already given to multiple other parties or candidates.
"It has a big impact on state parties," said Martin.
Currently, donors are limited to giving $123,200 for 2013 and 2014 in total to all federal campaigns. That limit made federal cash difficult to raise, Martin said. The Minnesota parties were not limited to what they could raise from individuals in their state committees.
After the decision, Minnesota parties will be able to raise more federal money -- up to $10,000 per individual -- from donors whether or not those individuals had already given to many other federal committees.
"That is hugely helpful to state parties," Martin said. He said the lifting of the overall cap will mean that parties can be more involved in helping federal candidates "up and down the ballot here in Minnesota."
Minnesota Republican Party chair Keith Downey said the decision may mean candidates and parties will be able to raise more.
"It will serve to direct campaign spending toward those who are closest to the public and most publicly accountable for their campaign activities. It also underscores the importance of both transparency and the protection of political speech, which are so important in our political process," Downey said.
Several donors with Minnesota ties have contributed enough in 2013 that they could have bumped up against the limit the court struck down.
According to a Star Tribune analysis of data from the Center for Responsive Politics, John Grundhofer, former chairman of U.S. Bancorps, donated $142,200 through the end of last year and Patricia Grundhofer, whose is listed on federal documents as the director of the John F. Grundhofer Charitable Foundation, donated $125,600. They gave primarily to non-Minnesota Republican committees.
Stanley Hubbard, head of Hubbard Broadcasting and a a frequent donor to state as well as federal causes, gave nearly $100,000 to federal committees last year alone. He said that every election cycle he gets many calls soliciting donations and he has to refuse them because he is maxed out.
Hubbard has a simple prediction for what will happen now that the court rejected the overall limits: "They are going to start calling."
Star Tribune data editor Glenn Howatt contributed to this report.
Vice President Joe Biden will visit Minnesota later for this month for a high-dollar fundraiser.
According to an invitation obtained by the Star Tribune, the vice president will be in Minneapolis on Feb. 19 for a dinner at Minneapolis' Bachelor Farmer restaurant.
The dinner will raise funds for the Democratic National Committee with donations topping out for co-hosts at $32,000.
The Bachelor Farmer, which hosted a lunch for President Obama in 2012, is owned by DFL Gov. Mark Dayton's sons.
Biden visited Minnesota to rally supporters in 2012, in 2011 he touched down for a fundraiser for the Obama campaign and in 2010 for a fundraiser for Dayton and a rally.
FBI agents have searched the home of former Iowa state Sen. Kent Sorenson, a top official in U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann's 2012 presidential campaign, his lawyer told the Star Tribune Wednesday.
The search, conducted two weeks ago, appeared focused on communications between various campaign operatives and Sorenson, who abruptly quit as Bachmann's Iowa campaign chairman in the closing days of the Iowa Republican caucuses and threw his support behind Ron Paul.
"It was a very thorough federal criminal search warrant," said Des Moines attorney Ted Sporer, who represents Sorenson. "It's pretty obvious they are looking for communications with a presidential campaign, or third parties working for a presidential campaign."
Both the Bachmann and Paul campaigns have come under scrutiny for allegedly making secret payments to Sorenson, a Christian conservative and Tea Party activist who recently resigned from the Iowa Senate under an ethics cloud.
According to Sporer, agents took computers and other mater materials connected to Sorenson's work with both campaigns, suggesting that the federal probe into Bachmann's campaign finances is far from over. A person who answered Sorenson's phone Wednesday said he was not available for comment.
The FBI field office in Omaha referred questions about the raid to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Iowa, which did not immediately respond to an inquiry from the Star Tribune. A spokesman for the Justice Department in Washington said he could provide no information.
Two former aides to the Minnesota Republican told the Star Tribune in May that they had been questioned by FBI agents from the bureau's public integrity section. Central to the FBI inquiry were alleged payments to Sorenson.
But recent allegations of payments by Paul operatives appear to have broadened the scope of the federal inquiry.
"It's hard to unravel," Sporer told the Star Tribune. "I don't know if it's a series of related investigations, or if it's one big investigation, or multiple unrelated investigations. My gut instinct is it's one investigation."
Sporer said Sorenson, now working in real estate, cooperated with the agents while his wife took their home-schooled children and left the house during the search.
"I wouldn't call it a raid," Sporer said. "It wasn't unanticipated….It's our intention to cooperate at all stages. Obviously, we don't think Mr. Sorenson was involved in any wrongdoing."
An account of the raid was initially reported online Wednesday by libertarian economist Robert Wenzel in the Economic Policy Journal. Wenzel, citing two unnamed sources, said agents spent seven hours in Sorenson's Des Moines area home scouring through family computers.
A special investigator for the Iowa Senate Ethics Committee found "probable cause" earlier this year that Sorenson broke state rules by taking money for presidential campaign work, including a $7,500 monthly salary from Bachmann's political action committee and an uncashed $25,000 check from an operative in the Paul campaign.
Among the allegations swirling around Sorenson are reports that he could provide the Paul campaign with a pilfered list of Iowa home school activists taken from the personal computer of Bachmann campaign staffer Barb Heki, who later settled with the Bachmann campaign for an undisclosed sum.
Bachmann initially accused Sorenson of switching allegiances for money. Bus she remained publicly silent about whether he was paid for work he did on behalf of her own campaign. Neither her campaign attorney nor her congressional office responded to requests for comment Wednesday.
Sorenson has steadfastly denied being paid by either campaign.
The alleged payments are now the subject of inquiries by the FBI, the Federal Election Commission (FEC), and the House Ethics Committee.
The Star Tribune also has obtained documents indicating a federal grand jury probe of several top Bachmann campaign operatives, including Bachmann's husband, Marcus. Among the records that have been subpoenaed by the Justice Department are financial registers of the National Fiscal Conservative (NFC) Political Action Committee, which allegedly agreed to help raise funds for a campaign mailer ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
Federal authorities also are looking at allegations of potentially illegal coordination between the Bachmann campaign and the NFC PAC, as well as with Bachmann's own political action committee, MichelePAC, which reportedly paid Sorenson through Bachmann fundraiser Guy Short.
Bachmann announced last spring that she would not seek another term in Congress.
The Minnesota Republican Party and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann favored Domino's. Ron Paul's presidential campaign preferred American Pie.
And last year, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison and northern Minnesota Democratic congressional hopeful Jeff Anderson went for Pizza Luce while U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan, who bested Anderson in a primary, bestowed Sammy's Pizza in both Hibbing and Duluth with his business.
Since Minnesotans can get as passionate about pizza choices as they are about politics, Hot Dish asked the Center for Responsive Politics to generate a list of all the pizza purchases from Minnesota's federal campaigns of late.

Getting to the jetty was great. Pick up was on time and efficient. However, there was a slight confusion at the jetty as the tour company got us confused with another group but later found that we actually have an exclusive tour. The tour guide who picked us up when we got off the ferry was great! She was extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant. It was a wonderful experience. However, the only set back was when we returned to Cebu on the ferry, the hotel pick up waited at the wrong jetty and we were left waiting for a good 1 hour before we found him - asleep in the car! That was not very nice...
Doing what: Day Trip to Bohol from Cebu with Chocolate Hills and Loboc River Cruise

I'm happy to confess that, when it comes to knitting, I'm really a sweater fan. Sure, I'll knit up a shawl or pair of mitten as needed, but I'm happy to work on sweaters endlessly. I'll often have my next sweater queued up, if not cast on, as I'm finishing my current project. Sweaters are a fun, practical project that can showcase your skills as a knitter and keep you warm at the same time; what's not to love? Of course, different occasions call for different types of knit sweater patterns. You can't wear your big, wooly sweater to a wedding in the middle of summer. Similarly, some of the lighter silk or cotton blends become less practical as snow covers the ground.
Needless to say, I've got several knitted sweater patterns in my arsenal, ready to go at a moment's notice. Lightweight sweaters patterns are a particular favorite of mine, since they easily lend themselves to layering and can be worn at almost any time of the year; only in the extreme heat of summer or cold of winter do these knit sweater patterns become obsolete. I've collected some of my favorite lightweight sweaters on the site to give you a little creative boost. I find that knitting garments isn't intimidating when you have a top-notch pattern to help you avoid the pitfalls. These knit sweater patterns will have you addicted to big projects by the time you're ready to cast off.

How to live to be 100
One of the most frequent questions Leo Peimer gets asked about how he lived to be 100 years of age is, "What's your trick?" The reality, says Leo, is that there is no trick and that a long and healthy life is best achieved through daily exercise, a disciplined diet, fresh air and a willingness […] [Read More]

McDonald's healthier than Olive Garden?

Valley National Bancorp's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
And now, I would like to turn the call over to Valley's Chairman, President and CEO, Gerald Lipkin.
Gerald Lipkin
Thank you, Dianne. Good morning and welcome to our fourth quarter earnings conference call. Valley's fourth quarter net income of $24.8 million or $0.15 per diluted share was negatively impacted by both non cash impairment charges on investment securities and transactional merger expenses associated with the State Bank acquisition. In the aggregate, those two items negatively impacted our diluted earnings per share by $0.08. For the year, Valley earned a $133.7 million and had solid earnings for each quarter of 2011. Valley in its 84 year history has never reported a losing quarter.
The following comments surrounding loan growth and activity for the full year and quarter do not include the impact of the $37 million short term loan to State Bank Corp. The loan was used to repay their tarp funds and was eliminated at closing on January 1 upon the acquisition of the company.Total loan growth during both the quarter and full year was extremely promising as Valley originated over $685 million of new loans during the quarter and over $2.4 billion of new loans during the 12 months of 2011. This marks the highest annual volume of new originations ever recorded at the bank. As a result, net new non covered loans at Valley for the year grew by approximately 5.3%. For the quarter, the growth was approximately 7.4% annualized. New commercial lending originations for the quarter equal $290 million, bringing the full year total to $1.1 billion. Net non covered loan growth for the year in the commercial C&I and CRE portfolios was nearly $200 million despite the enormous amount of prepayments received which partially mitigated the new volume. With the exception of construction loan portfolio, we are experiencing growth in all types of commercial lending.

As many of you are well aware through recent Microsoft Blog postings, the Connect forum and the Symantec KB Article 16949 there is an issue with space not being reclaimed by the Exchange 2010 store when objects are deleted or truncated.

Latest Gartner report shows shipments of Android flavored smartphones soared in Q1
The number one handset manufacturer in the first quarter of this year was Nokia with 25% of the worldwide cell phone market. The company shipped 107.6 million units in Q1 this year, but its market share dropped from over 30% in 2010's first period. Despite selling 4 million more units year-over-year to 68.8 million phones, runner-up Samsung's slice of the worldwide cell phone pie slipped to 16.1% from 18%. Rounding out the top 5 was LG (24 million phones shipped, 5.6% share), Apple (16.9 million, 3.9%) and RIM (13 million, 3%).
The second quarter could see Samsung cut into Nokia's lead thanks to the overseas acceptance of the Samsung Galaxy S II. As we reported, it appears that the device will be available at 3 of the top U.S. carriers (all but T-Mobile) although a U.S. launch might not take place until Q3 or later.
When it comes to which OS was installed on the most smartphones in the first quarter- Android took home the prize with a stunning increase from 5.2 million units in Q1 2010 to 36.2 million phones in this year's first three months. As a percentage of the worldwide smartphone market, Android flavored phones shipped went from a 9.6% share to 36%. Symbian's share dropped sharply from 44.2% to 27.4% of the market although the number of phones installed with the software increased year-over-year from 24.1 million in Q1 2010 to 27.6 million in this year's first three months; that performance was good enough for second place. iOS saw shipments more than double for the quarter to 16.9 million from 8.4 million which resulted in a 16.8% slice of the market in 2011, up from 2010's 15.3%. RIM and Microsoft were fourth and fifth respectively. Canadian based RIM had 13 million handsets with its OS ship in this year's first quarter, up from 10.8 million in 2010. Microsoft had a small drop off to 3.7 million units shipped with Windows Phone 7 this year.

shes not THAT hot... and i can totally imagine her having a really nerdy phone side... haha

Oh Taco, where are you? *yanks him out of his iPlaypen* Come on, say it. *Taco chirps* Crushing defeat! Crushing defeat!
3. snowgator (Posts: 3306; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
And Sniggly takes the first shot....
5. Sniggly (Posts: 7183; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Lol. The fight continues!
7. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
just sayin, but funny how ios is also improving... and funny how there is no phone that beats the iphone 4... haha its like comparing the entire insect world to a lion... or a Bugatti to the toyota lineup...
9. Sniggly (Posts: 7183; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
No. It's like comparing an evil, homogeneous Empire to a collective Rebel Alliance. No single world's navy outnumbers the Imperial Navy, but together the Alliance brings up a force strong enough to loosen the Empire's grip on its domain.
And if you're going to use a lion for Apple, a better comparison for Android is a pack of wolves.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter so much to me how many people iOS seduces. I'm just happy that Android is doing well, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to make fun of Taco, as much of an iWorshipper as he is.
10. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
haha well if u say so about ur little taco friend... i just think ios shud be given more credit... and evil homogeneous empire? really? it wud obviously be the british empire... that is a good comparison... and android can be, well, i guess india... and, a back of wolves wud immobilize a lion, but the lion is not immobilized, it is still moving... and seduces? now u r just making it sound hotttt...
11. Sniggly (Posts: 7183; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
iOS is very nice in some ways. It's not a bad OS by any means. It's fluid, it's functional, it's easy to learn. It's JUST. SO. BORING. And the relative lack of choice is irritating. Also, Apple's business practices (CUTTHROAT-capitalized by necessity) make me reject their products on principle.
So yes, as a fandroid, I'm going to label them as the evil empire. I mean, come on, is it really unexpected at this point? :)
I would argue that any empire is evil. But if you're going with the British empire, then Android would be India, the United States, and every other country the British empire had trouble with. And Blackberry would be fuckin' France.
A pack of wolves may still take a while to immobilize a lion. It's not necessarily immediate. And they may not even kill it. They may just mark their territory with the lion's blood. And then the pack and the lion will leave each other alone.
And let's expand on the seduction analogy...MY style. You're seduced by a REALLY, REALLY hot babe. She takes you home, and slowly undresses...revealing a penis underneath! Then she has another guy hold you down so she can anally rape you. Then she takes all your money. And since you actually enjoyed the experience, you decide to be her bitch and defend her actions to anyone who calls her out on them.
There. Properly analogized. Yes. I just made up a word. And it's going in my autocorrect dictionary. :P
20. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
uhh its really not boring cause there are good games on it... i wish android actually had decent games... it has nothing... and it is not boring... theres cydia which has a ton of customization... more than you would ever need...
haha and no... the united states has very close ties with britain so that is inaccurate.. and no, france is more like windows phone 7...
and no, the lion will never be immobilized... so that is just a horrible analogy... there has been no indication anywhere that ios is going to stall... it has grown since it was born
and did this happen to u? cause unless this is naked gun idk where u wud get that idea... and thats just gross...
21. Sniggly (Posts: 7183; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Why the hell for you keep quoting Cydia when lauding the iphone? YOU HAVE TO FUCKING JAILBREAK YOUR IPHONE TO USE CYDIA. YOU CAN DO THE SAME THINGS ON STOCK ANDROID.
There are also plenty of fun games on Android. I use my phone mainly as a gaming device. You don't. Know. What. You're. Talking about.
You are ignorant of history if you don't remember that the United States would not exist but for two wars with Britain.
No, windows phone 7 is gaining terrific momentum, and is not a joke like France is.
iOS is losing momentum. It is still growing, but not nearly at the rate that Android is. So yes, it is slowly and surely being immobilized.
I have a really fun imagination, and have delved into darker depths of the internet than most dare. Your immaturity is betrayed by your inability to see the humor in that description. Btw, did you know that Apple's followers experience religious euphoria when they see symbols of Apple? It's scientifically proven now.
23. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
okay, i dont see what the problem is with cydia... jailbreaking is so simple, its even easier then the customizing android so idk why its such a big deal... its basically a part of ios...
and no, the games on android suck in comparison... do u have call of duty? what about cut the rope? what about infinity blade?
okay, so there was the american rev. and the war of 1812, but after that britain and america settled their differences and united... have android and ios done that? no..
and no, wp7 is very much like france... it has always been a staple part of the scene, it had a huge part at one point with the napoleonic empire, and at the moment, france dominates europe... type in most powerful countries and france is always number 4 behind us china and russia... why? becuase they have a powerful airforce, a large number of nukes, they have a powerful economy... they are basically a small us... and, just like wp7, they have a large potential that will go unrealized if they do capitalize on it... we cant compare wp7 to a booming state when it has not done that yet...
and no, ios is not being immobilized at all... how can that even happen at all when it has always been growing... maybe u were thinking of symbian or balckberry os...
yes i read about that religious stuff with apple and i think people who have that are to willing to believe... and, i believe that happens with anything that people love... if ur a dog person, u always defend dogs and the same study could be shown.. they just conducted it on apple people... and it is very understandable because the brain adapts to repeated stimuli... in other words if someone loves all apple products, the brain will just automatically love them... but again, that cud be anything
and by the way, yes i found ur little sexual imagination glimpse thingy humorous, but really what do u want me to do, write hahahahahahahah lol rofl lmfao?
24. Sniggly (Posts: 7183; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Why? Because jailbreaking is something the grand majority of users don't do, and something Apple doesn't want its users to do. It is NOT. STOCK. IOS. So you can't compare a custom skin of an OS to a stock skin of another OS. If we wee comparing Cyanogen and Curia, it would slide, but not here.
We don't have call of duty yet, but there are other games out there. Some slices of awesomeness I have are from Glu Mobile in particular. I haven't shelled out any big bucks to purchase any games equivalent to what you named at the moment.
IOS is not immobilized yet. But its day is coming. It's not dying yet like RIM, but it will. No company survives forever.
IOS and Android are still both young, so yes, they're like the British empire and the various colonies revolting against it, like the united states. The comparison stands.
No one I know worships a dog, and you can't condition someone to treat just any object with religious reverence.
Yes, if you found it funny, communicate that. Otherwise it seems like you don't have a sense of humor. Capisce?

but cyanogen and curia dont offer anything besides for a pretty picture... cydia offers so much functionality... and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it... they didnt even care in the apple store when i showed then my jailbroken iphone... and it is absolutely painless...
and okay so basically u agree it doesnt have as good of games as ios... and no, it wont have a downfall like rim simply because apple wont let it... they will innovate and succeed and they will prosper... they almost died in 1996, but look where they r now... oh and btw there are plenty of companies that have survived almost forever... look at att...
in the mobile world, where time is about thirty years, four years is kinda old... i wud say wp7 is young...
okay well i think the religious part is bs... if someone believes in appleism or whatever they are calling it they are mentally ill...
and havent u noticed i say haha occasionaly? i just was so funny it didnt even need me to say that...
25. protozeloz (Posts: 5381; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Cydia Is not a part of iOS please understand that, don't believe me? ask jeff who is being thinking about it seriously struggling between doing it or not because its not all roses
now why you keep doing comparisons like insect and other stuff yeah lest compare android and iOS like lions and roaches guess who will survive to nukes, while humans try hard to protect lions and other magnificent animals from extinction little ol roach has survived harsh times and its successful ask the saber tooth tiger a powerful creature with sharp teeth, a wild instinct powerful jaws why isn't among us anymore and roaches are still here.....
now you again compare something in the epic "they have to make dozens to outsell one" it does not work like that, plain simple, lets say for example windows mobile, I had quite few phones out here and yet didn't outdid apple or Symbian on that matter
now let me give you another example people like android
Motorola releases the Droid X2
-Sniggly, A Motorola fan wont consider getting it because the wants the bionic instead
-I cant get a Droid X2 because is CDMA and doesn't work here
-Other people doest like Motorola because they say blur is useless
-some see it a a chance to get a nice phone for themselves
-some want a keyboard and will wait for Droid 3
so under the name of Droid X2 how many phones will sell considering those factors? and its a Motorola Phone yet fans aren't going all crazy for it because they want a bionic instead
now you have the Droid bionic
-I cant get it, Its a CDMA phone
-People wont get it because they hate Motorola
-people wont get it because they got a X2
-some want the Droid 3
how are going to be on its sales?
now you have iPhone, people like iOS they must get an iPhone regardless how is that going to pump this one phone sales?
27. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
well it doesnt work in EVERY SINGLE CASE... but for 99% of the time it does... how many monarchies are there compared to some type of democracy? how long do said monarchies last? fundamental numbers... no matter how powerful a single thing is, an exponential growth of another thing will always outnumber it...
honestly i do not see the point u r making in the bottom part and there are too many missing words for it to make sense.. please rephrase it... if u r saying there r too many android phones and moto sucks, i completely understand... any yes, i also understand that people who like iphone will get it and the vast majority who cant get it will get android if thats what ur saying...
28. protozeloz (Posts: 5381; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I need a new keyboard -_- and more time to check my post before I post them, Now I don't think its that hard to get it, my point is simple. the droid X2 a Motorola phone will have to compete with other two Motorola phones to make sales by itself as a phone, iPhone on the other hand has no phone with iOS to compete with so while droid dales split into 3 and that's only 3 high end phones add all the others, its not a matter of hundreds against a beast, this is a BRAWL and the ones fighting use to be companies having issues or even little smartphone presence.
now that argument where you say the ones who can get it will get android? its a really ignorant one because of two reasons
-iPhone 4 is currently on sale for the same price others android high end phones
-The 3G and 3GS are around the same price lower end models are so those wanting an iPhone could still get one
if you are too poor you buy a dumb phone
29. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
understood, but still is that the iphone's fault motorola has to create many phones to (not) even equal how much the iphone sells?
and there are tons of people who bought android phones before the iphone on verizon.. it just recently came to verizon and i think most people will wait for the 5 anyways...
30. protozeloz (Posts: 5381; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Motorola uses to spread several devices just so the consumer gets the most fitting for them, also saves them from making a failure out of a single device,yes its an issue when you want to see the sales of a single device being pumped. Now if you go and check Motorola's History you may find out they where loosing lots and lots of money every year, their phones had lost momentum, its sales where deplorable until they met android and this year the company is expected to earn some decent revenue same with Samsung and LG who had a good dumb phone market but not really smartphone presence yet they are doing good too, and we have HTC the new kid on the block with no reputation to back them up.
Compare them all with apple who is well known for making good computers and had a solid reputation to back it up when entering the smartphone market. that added to the hype of people wanting to believe that an iPhone means you are rich and girls will look at you on the bar and at the parties.
I know people hate that I use Wikipedia.... their articles may not being super trusted or the best around but they sum up interesting info that makes it kinda easy to research forward
another thing apple is strong its on its marketing camping, only (to me) only company can face them on that matter and its SE (Samsung seems to be getting into marketing lately)
31. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
haha dont worry wikipedia is the best...
and yes, i know moto was dying, and yes i know they found something in android, but what other option did they have? what other smartphone os could they have used? and i wudnt say samsung and lg had bad reputations.. they had some of the best...
and i also understand apple is quite amazing with their marketing, but it really isnt the marketing as much as it is the hype... they dont have THAT many commercials, they dont have banners on websites, and they dont have other types of ads... they just rely on the feeling of having an iphone... and it works for them...
33. protozeloz (Posts: 5381; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I'm not saying that LG and Samsung are bad they just didn't have a certain number of smartphones to take on something to back them up on that area, and you could take on any os and if it doest manage to call on some attention your project just fails, Motorola tried adopting winmo on some phones and there just didn't took of anything.
apple makes some commercials but they highlight features, you can go and see a Motorola commercial and compare it with ones on the iPhone and you can tell how bad their campaign, is you can make hundreds of commercials but if people don't understand them they wont feel attracted, commercials are so important to some customers that I was decided to get an ATRIX because of the laptop dock for testing purposes but the simple way of showing the UI on the SGS2 has called my attention and I'm planing on getting one instead, just because of how their campaign is done, showed to some friend and they also think about either that phone or the iP5 because they see something nice on how the promotion is made.... but I also think people pick android because it works for them too... because android phones can be sexy and simple, and at the same time complex and radical, its what stole my attention the first time after tying out most of the other OS's
34. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
well just saying but sexy and simple but complex and radical is definitely wp7...
and yes i get the marketing... and ya i agree
36. protozeloz (Posts: 5381; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
have you hold an xperia? is sexy and simple
have you played with an evo? its more complex
dunno about WP7 yet, 6.5 gave me a bad taste..... so ill wait a bit more before getting one I'll wait for mango and see how its going to do
37. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
yes... i do not like the xperia line... they just are not appealing... and they r slower than others...
and the evo is one of my favorites...
also i have never used 6.5... but mango will be amazing...
32. Sniggly (Posts: 7183; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Give Proto a break. English isn't his first language. He's saying that no single Android phone has outsold the iPhone because there are more choices for Android phones. If someone sees an Android phone for 50 bucks and they're on a budget, they'll buy the fifty buck phone. If they want LTE, they'll skip the X2. Proto lives in the wrong country for the X2 to be a phone he considers. And some people hate Motorola, mostly based on past experiences from the time period in which their phones were either boring or sucked.
It doesn't lessen the quality of any of these phones. It just means that people have preferences, and Android allows them to exercise those preferences.
I'm not going to argue any more analogies for the moment. It's tiresome and distracting.
Lucas, I don't care how easy jailbreaking is supposed to be or how awesome a jailbroken iPhone is compared to a stock one, it's STILL. NOT. STOCK. IOS. It's not what Steve Jobs wanted the customers to experience, it's not what it was designed to be out of the box. Until you see a Cydia powered iPhone coming out from Apple, you have no right to claim it as a perk of stock iOS.
35. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
okay well i dont know it isnt his first language?
and i guess im saying if there wernt so may android phones, do u think a single android phone wud beat the iphone in sales? i doubt it...
and i think u need to realize that cydia is a huge part of ios... honestly, i havent said any of its benefits, i just dont see why it is so hated by u? it is just another app store... just like downloading an app...

brilliant news for the free word in general that people are finally thinking without control and not buying ios. With The galaxy s2 and htc sensation and such just on the cusp of major full releases the android figures will soar incredibly

I love it, Android sold more units than iOS, RIM and Microsoft combined. This is what you call being owned.

RBC Capital Markets Convenes Municipal Finance Leaders At Industry's First-Ever Floating Rate Notes-Focused Municipal Market Conference
NEW YORK, June 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - RBC Capital Markets' Municipal Markets group hosted the industry's first-ever municipal conference focused on SIFMA-Indexed Floating Rate Notes (FRNs) on Friday, June 7, 2013. The event, held at the Conrad Hotel in New York City, brought together over 180 of the industry's top investors and issuers to discuss the emergence of FRNs following the recent period of market challenges.
"The financial markets have significantly evolved over past several years, and the municipal finance industry has responded accordingly," said Mark Maroney, Head of U.S. Rates, Municipals and Securitized Products at RBC Capital Markets. "FRNs have been a common form of financing in the corporate and asset-backed debt markets to gain access to variable interest costs of funds without risks to the short-term bank market, and now the municipal industry is following suit by adopting the product within our own market."
Chris Hamel, Head of the Municipal Finance group at RBC Capital Markets, added, "Within our client base, we have seen a significant uptake in interest in FRNs over the last few years, as evidenced by the 89 industry-wide FRN transactions totaling $16 billion since 2009. Today's event convenes some of the biggest players in the space to further examine the opportunities and challenges in our market and we are thrilled to host this opportunity."
Following a welcome address from Hamel, keynote speaker Mark Muller, Senior Portfolio Manager at Loews Corporation, discussed the changes in the municipal market landscape over the last five years and his view looking forward.Chris Mauro, RBC's Head of U.S. Municipals Strategy, then discussed the evolution of the short-term market and Tom Carlson, Director within the Municipal Capital Markets group, presented an overview of public FRNs. Two panel discussions on the market followed. The "Depth and Longevity of the Market" panel put forth top investors in the market to offer their perspectives on the use of FRNs over the long-term. Moderated by Jaime Durando, RBC's Managing Director and Head of Municipal Syndication, panelists included:
- Lyle Fitterer, Managing Director, Wells Capital Management
- Justin Schwartz, Portfolio Manager, Vanguard
- James Pruskowski, Managing Director & Portfolio Manager, Head of Municipal Institutional & Wealth Management, BlackRock

Matchup to Watch
Andre Drummond vs. Al Jefferson: True low-post scorers have dwindled as more and more big men migrate to face the basket and take jump shots. These two are the real deal as far as going into the post, forcing double-teams and getting to the foul line.
• The stakes in this game are pretty obvious: The Pistons are just behind the Bobcats in the Eastern Conference standings, chasing the eighth and final spot in the playoffs. The Bobcats and Pistons play again Wednesday in Charlotte, the last game before Thursday's trade deadline.
• The Pistons recently made a coaching change, firing Mo Cheeks months after he took this job. Longtime NBA assistant John Loyer is coaching on an interim basis. Despite all that drama, the Pistons won three of four before the All-Star break.
• The Bobcats won on the road in the only previous meeting this season. There was a 30-point swing in that game over the last 30 minutes. Kemba Walker scored 34, one short of his career high.
• The Pistons lead the NBA in points in the paint, at 51.9 per game. The Bobcats' defensive improvement this season has centered on guarding in the post without fouling.
Did you know?
The 20-point deficit overcome in Detroit was the second-biggest comeback in Bobcats history. They overcame a 22-point deficit to win in Atlanta in February of 2011.

I responded to the report with the following letter to the editor:
Your Sept. 5 (2014) article about Richard Hildreth, the former Pacific Mayor, being "officially cleared of corruption allegations" drew my interest. Apparently the state auditor and king county prosecutor found no grounds for bringing charges against Mr. Hildreth.
Those findings don't change the obvious:
Mr. Hildreth's legacy was a city so politically weakened that the unbelieveable occurred. He was unseated by an unqualified write-in candidate who practically destroyed the city, and still managed to maintain very strong minority support when he was recalled.
If the word, "corruption" doesn't apply here, would you accept "decay?"

The control layout is pretty typical, although Nikon seems to have eliminated more direct-access buttons than most products in its class and replaced them entirely with the interactive display. Through it, in combination with the back dial and multi selector, you adjust shutter speed, aperture, image size and quality, white balance, ISO sensitivity, focus mode, AF area (single, multi, wide area, and 3D tracking), metering, D-Lighting, exposure bracketing (three shots in up to two stop increments), Picture Control, exposure and flash compensation, and flash mode. I generally like the interactive displays, but the D5000's LCD is a bit difficult to see in sunlight, which made changing settings somewhat problematic. There's also a programmable function button that falls under your left thumb--I like that location--to which you can assign direct access to drive modes, image size and quality, ISO sensitivity, white balance, Active D-Lighting, raw override, and bracketing.
There's no dedicated mode for shooting video (that's a good thing); instead, while in Live View mode, you use the OK button to stop and start recording. Though it doesn't do continuous autofocus, you can initiate AF while recording. Like Canon's, however, it's very slow and a bit noisy. (For more on the design, click through the slideshow. For a complete list of features and their implementations, you can download a PDF copy of the D5000's manual.)
I do feel somewhat ambivalent about the D5000's design. Articulated LCDs are great, and definitely enhance the usability of Live View. But ultimately I find the flip-down version on the D5000 less useful than the flip-out versions on Olympus' SLRs: it's good for overhead and hip-level shooting, but not as comfortable for sideways. Of course, from that perspective it's far more flexible than Canon's fixed LCDs. But the D5000's LCD isn't very good. In addition to the aforementioned visibility problem in direct sunlight, it just seemed soft; I couldn't tell if my photos were sharp, and manual focus in Live View (and video recording) was nearly impossible. Furthermore, there's no way to keep the multi selector switch from accidentally moving the selected AF points, which I did, repeatedly. Finally, the viewfinder is small and dim, and the AF lock light is way down in the lower left corner where you have to strain to see it. On the upside, it has an optional grid display.
But the D5000 definitely comes through on performance and photo quality. It's fast, and generally outshoots the D90, most notably in low-light autofocus. It powers on and shoots in about 0.2 second, with shot lag as good as 0.3 second under good light and a still-respectable 0.7 second in dim. It shoots and saves JPEG files slightly faster than raw, though they both round out to about 0.5 second; adding flash bumps that just slightly to 0.9 second. Burst shooting clocks about 4 frames per second--same as the D90--putting it at the head of this class. The AF system is pretty good, too, and the whole thing is certainly fast enough to keep up with the typical shooting material of kids, sports, and pets. The battery lasts a relatively long time as well; it's CIPA rated at about 510 shots.
It also delivers excellent photo quality for the price, with solid exposure (though not as bright and straight-to-printer friendly as the T1i's) and great color. Its noise profile is very good up through ISO 1,600 and, for a variety of scenes, usable through its extended ISO 6,400 (Hi). The kit lens is above average as well: very sharp and able to focus quite closely. As with the D90, though, the video is a bit disappointing. The camera only shoots 24fps 720p, which isn't a fast enough frame rate to render quite as smoothly as we've come to expect and doesn't scale very well to full-screen playback. It's usable, and fine if you're interested in experimenting, but it doesn't look sharp or polished.
As long as you don't get as hung up as I did on its operational quirks or have high expectations of shooting video, there's plenty to like about the Nikon D5000--especially if you're most interested in its core aptitudes of a wealth of features, speedy shooting, and high-quality photographs for the money.

Great room. I love a neat room and house. To much junk around makes me crazy. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy you haven.
One day, you'll only be a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one.
I am really liking the ironing board cover!! Such a nice space... each piece in such an efficient layout. The china cabinet for the fabric is perfect.
What a wonderful serene place to work. You have done a great job decorating it.
Great space! I love the "A Stitch in Time" piece above the vintage machine. Please tell me more about it! Did you design it or is a pattern available?
WOW!!! Awesome space.
I'm with you, I have to clean up my studio at the end of every day, too. I cannot come into a mess and start working. Doesn't matter how disheveled it gets during the day while I play, but come when I'm done it gets picked up everytime.
My best is the least I can do.

Geneva 2008: updated Alfa Romeo 159
We had plenty of reason to frequent the Alfa Romeo pavilion at this year's Geneva show. After the unveiling of the production 8C Spider along with the updated Brera and Spider came the revisions to the 159 sedan and Sportwagon.
Like its two-door counterparts, the changes to the 159 consist of a few small updates that don't interfere with the model's stunning lines. Better ergonomics and new electronics update the interior, while weight reduction where the car meets the road should help the car's driving dynamics slightly. Most importantly, however, the tweaks which Alfa Romeo announced for the 159 range gave us and our cameras another reason, as if we needed one, to get reacquainted with one of our favorite European sports sedans and wagons.
