President Obama Toes the Line Between Being Funny and Being a Joke
The White House Correspondents Dinner is the last thing the president needs right now.
This week was a good week for Mitt Romney: he gave his best speech yet and laid out his vision for the country (if you don't have time to watch the whole video of his speech, the transcript is a must-read); Newt Gingrich announced he's finally going to leave the race; and American Crossroads unveiled a devastating new ad called " Cool."
[ Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
As they'd say in Boston, the ad is wicked good. Like the 1988 ad that Roger Ailes created of Michael Dukakis riding in a tank, you can't help but smile. Shots of President Obama--shown slow-jamming the news with Jimmy Fallon, dancing with Ellen DeGeneres, drinking a Guinness, wearing 3-D glasses, covering Al Greene's falsetto, and slyly calling Kanye West a "jackass"--are accompanied by Yello's "Oh Yeah," which most of us remember from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Here's the text:
Four years ago, America elected the biggest celebrity in the world, and America got one cool president. But after four years of a celebrity president, 1 in 2 recent college grads are jobless or underemployed...85% moving back in with their parents...student loan debt exceeds one trillion dollars. After four years of a celebrity president, is your life any better?
Any one of those decisions--to appear on Jimmy Fallon's show, or dance with Ellen, or call Kanye a "jackass"--can be rationalized away. These things are "no big deal," "a guy's gotta have fun," hey, it's important to "look connected." After all, Mitt Romney has done Letterman's Top Ten List. But there's a downside, and this is it. Three years of cool-cat-moments have been aggregated into a package and set to music--they might as well have played LMFAO's "I'm Sexy and I Know It"--then followed by particularly jarring black-and-whites of grim economic statistics and young people. What makes it particularly effective is that it's done with humor and goes right to the heart of the president's biggest asset and turns his likability into a liability. If there will be more ads like this, and I bet there will be, it's a disaster for the Obama campaign.
[ Read Robert Schlesinger: Top Strategists Don't Like Their Parties' 2012 Chances.]
The timing of the ad couldn't be worse: this weekend is the White House Correspondents Dinner, and the president is expected to give a comedy monologue. That's the last thing he needs right now. What used to be an off-the-record night will now be broadcast on MSNBC, and I'm sure the video of it will make the endless cable TV comedy highlights loop. Back in the day, the inside-Washington comedy nights--the Alfalfa Club, the Gridiron Dinner, even the early days of the White House Correspondents Dinner--were an opportunity to show everyone on the other side of the aisle that you didn't take yourself too seriously, remind the White House press corps that you were self-deprecating, and that you saw the humor in life, all without the cameras rolling.
Now no one speaks to each other-- according to John Heileman of New York magazine, the president went for two years without talking to half-a-dozen of his own Cabinet members; other reports say he doesn't speak with members of Congress or the Senate very often either. No wonder people think he's aloof and unapproachable. These days in D.C., no one gives each other the benefit of the doubt. There are very few private moments anymore, no across-the-aisle friendships, no off-the-record laughs. That's a big reason why so many Americans think Washington is broken.
It's no mistake that there's isn't any footage of Lyndon Johnson on The Dick Van Dyke Show, or Jimmy Carter going on The Carol Burnett Show. It's not because these leaders weren't funny--some were very funny--but because they understood why it's important to be presidential. They understood the power of the office, the responsibility of being commander-in-chief, the gravity of the job. General Eisenhower had his lighter moments, but he didn't jump in and help Lucy and Ethel at the candy factory.
[ Read Super PAC Uses Obama's Hipness Against Him.]
President George H.W. Bush once told me as we worked on his White House Correspondents Dinner remarks: "The American people didn't elect me to be a stand-up comic." He was right. Don't get me wrong, President Bush #41 is a very funny man with great comic timing. But President Bush--like many of other major figures in American politics like Tip O'Neill or Bill Clinton or James Baker or Ted Kennedy or Colin Powell--understood the difference between having a sense of humor and being seen as a joke. Barack Obama isn't known for having the former, and he's dangerously close to becoming the latter.

Joint surgery/joint replacement
This surgery replaces arthritic or damaged joints in the ankles, hips, knees, shoulders, or elbows with artificial joints, made from specially designed metal alloys and polyethylene. Some patients may qualify to have their hip replacement done with a minimally invasive approach using small incisions. Our care of patients for hip and knee replacements has been recognized as one of the best nationally.
Total knee replacement at Poudre Valley Hospital (pdf)Total knee replacement at Medical Center of the Rockies (pdf)
Total hip replacement at Poudre Valley Hospital (pdf)Total hip replacement at Medical Center of the Rockies (pdf)
Back/neck surgery
Our specialists can remove discs and perform spinal fusion -- fusing bones to stabilize a weak back. A new artificial disc for use in certain kinds of back surgeries may be an option for some individuals.
Cervical spine surgery (pdf)Lumbar spine surgery (pdf)Thorasic spine surgery (pdf)
This is a treatment for people with osteoporosis who suffer compression fractures in a vertebra in their spine. With kyphoplasty, an orthopedic surgeon makes two tiny incisions near the fracture and inserts a needle with a tiny balloon attached. The balloon is inflated to restore the collapsed vertebra's height, and bone cement is injected to stabilize the break. An overnight hospital stay is required.
Ligament and tendon repair
To correct torn or otherwise damaged shoulders, hands, knees, and anterior cruciate ligaments (the band of tissue connecting the large bone in your thigh to the bone in your shin- also known as ACLs).
Hand surgery
Hand-injury repairs and carpal tunnel problems.
Arthroscopy features a tiny incision that allows a surgeon to diagnose and treat a joint condition without an extensive operation. To do this, surgeons use a small, fiber-optic instrument with a tiny lens, light source, and video camera.
Articular knee cartilage repair
Using arthroscopy, the Orthopedic Center surgeons can remove a tiny sample of your healthy knee cartilage tissue. Your cells are then cultivated in a laboratory, and when they are mature, your surgeon will remove your damaged knee cartilage and replace it with the healthy cartilage which will gradually regenerate as normal tissue.
Inpatient Orthopedic Unit
This nursing floor is designed to meet the needs of all orthopedic patients, including persons with joint replacements, trauma, and fractures.
LifeSkills Rehabilitation Unit
If you need rehabilitation after your surgery and qualify for insurance coverage for rehab, our LifeSkills Rehabilitation Unit offers a custom education and exercise program tailored to your specific needs.
A team of physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and music therapists, social workers, and others is dedicated to helping you regain your strength and independence and return to normal activities after surgery.
Our staff also works closely with several area outpatient rehabilitation programs as well as short-term and long-term rehabilitation facilities and nursing homes. You can choose to use LifeSkills or any other facility that suits your needs.
Sports medicine
Orthopedic physician practices offer comprehensive sports medicine programs. Contact the Orthopedic & Spine Center of the Rockies, Northern Colorado Orthopedic Associates, or Dr. Garth Nelson for care or for more information on their services.
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service.

Snoopy's Off The Chain at Knott's!
What's new this summer at Knott's Berry Farm? Lots! The theme park's recently expanded Boardwalk has three new rides that are just my speed (translation: no crazy loops or stomach-dropping dips) including Coast Rider, Pacific Scrambler and Surfside Gliders. Also making its summer debut is "Snoopy…Unleashed!" at the Charles Schulz Theatre.
This cool show (literally; it's on ice) follows Snoopy as he goes off the chain and lives it up with the Peanuts characters and pro ice skaters. There's also "Boom Town," a Western-style cirque experience with acrobats and contortionists. And let's not forget "Dancin' to the Beat," going on from morning till night, with performances by breakers, poppers, lockers and krumpers as they werk it to the Street Drum Corps crew. Who knew Knott's had so much street cred?!
Even better, you can get a year pass for 2013 for $88 and single day tix for as low as $37.

August 3, 2004
To NASD rules committee
Viewing the proposed changes of NTM 04-45 reminds me of an incident many years ago. A client of mine responded to a "response requested" mailing from one of my insurance companies regarding his purchase of their Universal Life Insurance policy. One of his statements to the insurance company inferred that his purchase was an "unsuitable" transaction and that any potential negative consequences of his purchase had not been disclosed prior to his purchase. Therefore he should be made whole and the original value of his policy should be credited back into his policy. (His cash value had reduced to zero because of mortality, administrative expenses and reducing interest rates).
I was provided the opportunity by the insurance company to respond to his remarks so they could determine if there was cause to "reinstate" his values. I responded that I had not recommended the purchase, in fact in the replacement form that was required for submission at the same time as the application, I had written in the suitability question that I "Did Not" recommend the purchase. In the section of the replacement form asking why the proposed insured was purchasing the insurance I had him write in his own words the reason he wished to purchase the policy to which he did. In reviewing the material the insurance company ultimately denied his request.
In receiving the denial from the insurance company, he called me asking why he was denied. I told him that I did not agree with the statements he had provided the insurance company. I told him that I had recommended not to purchase the policy in writing of which he was given a copy at time of the purchase. A copy remained in my file which I provided another copy to the insurance company along with my remarks. His response to me was "but, you really didn't mean it, did you".
What does all this rambling have to do with the issue at hand. Plenty.
With few exception, most registered representatives have the best interests of the client in mind when dealing with a securities related product. After all our reputation and career are on the line with every recommendation we make. We must not only be concerned with our state regulators but NASD and SEC as well. We can sit across the table and explain everything in detail, get everything in writing, get their understanding of what they are doing, how it addresses the issues thay have and everything is fine. But when some unexpected event occurs and it has an impact on what they may do or what cost is associated with it, all of a sudden they don't remember a thing. All of a sudden the papers they were provided, selling material,etc is no where to be found and now it becomes an "unsuitable" transaction.
This NASD rule proposal is similar to the recently proposed rules by the SEC. The NASD should defer action on this point-of-sale disclosure concept until the SEC's latest rule making on this subject has been finished.
Requiring a suitability analysis document and/or other supporting documentation to be reviewed by a Principal just for Variable products is unjustified and is in conflict with the legal requirements relative to suitability issues that have developed over the past several decades. No other investment product requires this type of suitability standard.
One Business Day Turn Around time for Principals review is unworkable. If the Principal is out of the office for a period longer than the next business day, what happens? Does the transaction have to be rewritten. We already have oversight of our activities. It is going to come down some day that the Principal has to sign off on the application, then it will go to his superior to sign off on the Principal's sign off then it will go to another level. When will all this stop. The investor acknowledge at every step now what they are purchasing. They acknowledge that an annuity is not a Mutual Fund. They acknowledge that the tax deferral in a qualified setting is not unique to this annuity. They acknowledge that they may incur federal tax penalty charges on surrenders prior to 59 1/2. They acknowledge that there are surrender charges and other expenses associated with the annuity. They acknowledge that the optional riders if purchased carry additional charges. Why isn't there some accountability on the investors part for the transaction.....I'm sorry, I forgot, this is a security contract and that the investor is presumed to be a dumb, innocent, taken advantage of person that is being manipulated by an extremely arrogant conniving salesman just out for the buck.
The characterization that Variable Annuities carries such a heavy cost is meaningless depending on the features of the contract. What would you consider to be an acceptable cost spread, (+) or (-) 20 basis points, 35 basis points, etc. between a Mutual Fund or Annuity.?
To infer that Variable Annuities are Automatically Unsuitable for 401(k), 403(b), 457, IRA's is absurb. You view this contract as a Duplication of Tax Deferral Benefits. Where should an Investor put his IRA or Qualified Money if he wants his family to receive his investment with a guarantee against loss.
There are many other benefits that appear to get a deaf ear such as:
A. The benefits of potential Annuitization, or
B. The ability to obtain a death or income tax reduction rider, or
C. To eliminate the transaction costs associated with Mutual Funds, or
D. To reduce estate or income taxes, or
E. To obtain guaranteed rates of return, or
F. To obtain benefits of no-cost dollar-cost averaging, etc. etc.
Many of your proposals directed at the apparant negatives of a Variable Annuity, ie. surrender charges, administrative fees, sales charges, tax consequences, et al. appear to be parroting the comments that are heard over the air waves of investment talk shows, or printed in the local financial papers or magazines, or comments of Fee only planners or brokers who don't believe in mutual funds, or any type of annuity.
I am not saying that there are not some miscreant individuals/firms in our business, so make the individuals or firms who violate the rules pay dearly but don't take it out on us who work by the rules. Ten to 15% of my cost of doing business goes for Securities compliance issues alone. I believe that is a heavy enough price to pay.

Welcome to LaosTours.org – the best laos travel guide on the net
After years of war and isolation, Southeast Asia's most pristine environment, intact cultures and quite possibly the most chilled-out people on earth mean destination Laos is fast earning cult status among travellers. It is developing quickly but still has much of the tradition that has sadly disappeared elsewhere in
the region. Village life is refreshingly simple and even in Vientiane it's hard to believe this sort of languid riverfront life exists in a national capital. Then, of course, there is the historic royal city of Luang Prabang, where watching as hundreds of saffron-robed monks move silently among centuries-old monasteries is as romantic a scene as you'll experience anywhere in Asia.

Capital: Balaam
Capital on the second pier from the west in the north arcade, depicting the story of Balaam from the Book of Numbers. Balaam is shown riding his donkey, wearing a medieval riding cloak and carrying a tau staff. The donkey turns away from the right face of the capital, where an angel standing on city walls holds up a sword, blocking the way. Between the angel's wings is a star, representing Balaam's prophecy: "I see a star that rises out of Jacob, a stem that springs from Israel's root." (Numbers 24:17). In Christian interpretation, this prophecy refers to Christ.

Canon May 'Bring the Might of Its Legal Team' if You Modify 1D X or 1D C Firmware
That sounds promising for a potential firmware hack, right? We discussed not too long ago that the Canon 1D X and the Canon 1D C were not exactly the same camera, but that the 1D C had some internal hardware changes — at the very least a new heatsink, and probably some additions to the firmware to allow 4K recording. At the moment it's still not clear how much the two cameras share in common, but with a quote like above, there is no doubt that the 1D X is probably capable of a lot more internally than the company is allowing at the moment. Whether or not your camera will explode when enabling those features is another consideration entirely, but we're starting to get more details about these internals.
Here is what Canon Rumors had to say about the situation:
We had a chance to peer inside the EOS-1D C (No photos allowed) to find out how much it differed from the EOS-1D X. The differences are minimal, the biggest change is the heat sink inside the camera to keep the sensor circuitry cool during 4K video operation.
The EOS-1D X has some traces of the EOS-1D C firmware code and the features are locked. We don't know how much of the firmware is the same.
I was told by someone at Canon that they would "bring the might of its legal team" to anyone that attempts to modify at the software level, the features of an EOS-1 camera body. So I think the firmware community out there today will probably leave the EOS-1D X alone.
Obviously that quote is coming from behind the scenes and not from a source we can cite, so while it certainly may have been said, it is tough to say whether that is the company's official stance at the moment (considering they haven't said much publicly about the firmware of their cameras being hacked).
The big reason that people might want to mess with the firmware of the Canon 1D X is because at the moment, that camera only costs $6,800 vs. $12,000 for the 1D C. A $5,000 difference would be a hefty savings for people who wanted the 4K functionality of the 1D C, while still retaining all of the other great features of the 1D X. The other possible changes that could happen in firmware could be related to the HDMI output of the 1D X, which, to my knowledge, cannot be recorded cleanly without cropping (if at all). Another slight difference between the two cameras is a missing headphone port on the 1D X.
Canon is probably trying to save a few dollars on R&D by producing almost the same camera twice for two different markets, but charging much more for the other one (which is a common practice by most companies). We can't say which internal hardware parts are different yet other than the added heatsink, because a proper teardown has not been conducted of both simultaneously. Even if we did find out that they are mostly identical hardware-wise, going by the above information, there could be serious consequences for providing such a hack.
At this time, the folks over at Magic Lantern have not tried to modify the firmware of any of these 1D cameras, so we'll just have to wait and see how this shakes out, and if any other adventurous hackers want to take up the reigns for these specific cameras — and possibly risk some lawsuits from Canon. We do have to take the company stance with a grain of salt at the moment, but I've never heard anything like that before related to the firmware hacking on their cameras. We'll see if the cease and desist notices start flying if people successfully decode the firmware on the 1D X or 1D C. Magic Lantern actually responded earlier today on twitter:
It's also worth mentioning that plenty of other companies are doing what Canon is doing with two separate models and similar hardware. For example, RED's SCARLET and EPIC cameras contain identical hardware inside, but the internal boards on SCARLET, according to RED, are not up-to-spec to handle the increased data rates of EPIC — though we don't have much choice but to take their word on that as no hacking has been done thus far on RED firmware.
It will be interesting to see how the 1D C sells. Canon knows they aren't going to sell as many as the 1D X, and that's part of the reason for the price difference. I can't help but think that a firmware hack for the 1D X would help sell a ton more cameras and actually be beneficial to the company in the end — but then again, I can't see their financials, so it's hard to know what they spent on R&D for both and how many cameras they need to sell at a specific price to recoup that.
This is definitely not the end of this story, and we'll keep you updated as more information comes out.
Do you think Canon should allow hacking just as they've always done, or do you believe they have a business to run, so they should be able to make some money in the process and recoup development costs? Would you consider buying a 1D X if the firmware was modified to allow 4K or clean HDMI? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

In a word, I call it GREED. If anything the people behind Magic Lantern should be offered jobs at Canon. I'm cool with capitalism, but when it gets in the way of innovation by way of deliberately holding back progress we now have a problem. The same greedy phenomenon can be seen in the U.S.'s communication industry. How can we supposedly be at the forefront of technology, yet have some of the lowest speeds and highest prices for internet access in the industrialized world. In a word, I call it greed.
Clayton Arnall on 01.15.13 @ 11:16AM
People don't get that it doesn't even matter if it's against the law or not. Canon can sue even if they feel they don't have a case. ML wouldn't have the funds to defend, and they'd have to cave.
Daniel on 01.18.13 @ 5:31PM
Think about it for a moment. The 1D C is equipped with a larger heat sink to handle the heat increase of recording higher quality video. If you enable a 1D X to generate heat beyond its capacity to dissipate that heat and fry it while under warranty, Canon would not have any evidence of tampering and they would be out the expense of replacing it. Granted, engineering the 1D X with a larger-than-necessary heat sink might safeguard against that, but I don't think that is a good business decision.
Greg on 01.25.13 @ 2:05PM
Wasn't jailbreaking ruled legal in the states recently? Not sure if canon could sue here.
Joe Marine on 01.25.13 @ 3:37PM
Actually it was recently ruled illegal.
not if you own the unit in question – the illegal – came from the notion that the unit is still getting subsidy from the company at reduced cost – therefore – the unit is still legally owned by the company – if you bought it at full cost – its not illegal and you can break it and burn it if you want to.
I think Canon is smart. First, the firmware itself is different. Mostly in the level of encryption. Second, canon, unlike all other companies has taken no steps to prevent the hacking of their second tier camera systems (probably because the community is mature, and there has been no mass bricking of cameras a la panasonic).
I think any company has the right to protect their intellectual property. Firmware is intellectual property. The reason these cameras aren't "allowed" certain features is because enabling them dramatically decreases the expected life of the product. You may not brick your camera, but you will certainly ruin it prematurely. It's just like anything else, if you upgrade massively one part of a system, you must upgrade at least some support systems to be able to handle the increased demands of the architecture. Put a variable vane turbo in a honda and soon your unmodified engine will disintegrate and your valves will be tap dancing on your hood, (Trust me it's hilarious)
Steve on 11.15.13 @ 10:58AM
I don't care about 4K. Don't need it, didn't want to spend twice as much for it. I do own two 1D X cameras, and I want clean HDMI! If a hack gets made for clean hdmi I will install it on my cameras. I would not install a 4K hack.
Michael on 04.4.14 @ 2:19AM
I have 1DX and 1DC. 1DX – I change the firmware for five minutes without leaving home. To change the firmware on 1DC I need to carry the camera to service center for a few days. this is nonsense. it is not very convenient for me. This is not a service and customer care. It's just a real greed!

It Makes a Difference for This OnePosted Tuesday, April 24, 2012, at 8:43 AM
"While wandering a deserted beach at dawn, stagnant in my work, I saw a man in the distance bending and throwing as he walked the endless stretch toward me. As he came near, I could see that he was throwing starfish, abandoned on the sand by the tide, back into the sea.
When he was close enough I asked him why he was working so hard at this strange task.
He said that the sun would dry the starfish and they would die. I said to him that I thought he was foolish. There were thousands of starfish on miles and miles of beach.
One man alone could never make a difference.
He smiled as he picked up the next starfish. Hurling it far into the sea he said, "It makes a difference for this one."
I abandoned my writing and spent the morning throwing starfish."
― Loren Eiseley
This quote made me think.
Am I like the man who felt it too much trouble and I too unimportant to stop and make a small difference thinking that it wouldn't matter in the grand scheme of life?
Or am I the one who does it anyway even if I never see the end result?
Most of the time we are so wrapped up in our own particular life and problems that we have no time to make that difference.
Perhaps it should be a higher priority.
Every important change that has happened in this world has always started with one person.
Be that one.

Have you been using common pads in your designs? Please provide your feedback
Hi there I have heard of a couple of cases of PCB designs where a common pad is shared between two separate components. At it's simplest case, two 0603 components lie end to end but instead of four pads, two for each, there are only three in total. The two pads closest to each other overlap meaning only one is visible on the board. In other words they share a common pad. This scenario is typically … Read More

quote:Originally posted by fabulousoyster Very nice. I'm always at Carvel buying a "Little Love" ice cream cake. I have made Watermelon Rolls in the past, takes alot of "timing". Get a very large large plastic round bowl, freeze it for an hour. Shape Mint Chocolate Chip(green) ice cream or sherbert around the bowl. Freeze again for 30 minutes. Shape Lemon sherbert for the white section around bowl. Freeze again 30 minutes. While waiting, soften up Strawberry or Raspberry ice cream or sherbert, add chocolate chips. Fill remaining bowl with that. Freeze about 5 hours, Unmold on platter, cut into wedges.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 288
MAS, thanks for understanding. I apologize if I sounded a bit harsh. Maybe it's because I was a comics geek way before I was a zine geek, and I saw what happened with the comics collectible market in the 90's so I probably over-reacted. By the way, what zine did you do?
how much are the old cometbuses going for on ebay anyways? the only case i know (not that i research this) of old zines being of big value are the old SST zines raymond pettibon made, because he's such a big commodity in the fine art world these days.

I love technology when it's applied for a useful purpose. I'm passionate about ensuring the ease of use and flexibility for growth. Building great products is half art and half science. With degrees in technology, business and a love of numbers, I've applied my skills at some of the best companies across multiple industries. Nothing feels better than building a product your customers love.
When not in front of a computer or dabbling with an Arduino board, you can usually find me outdoors with my kids: cycling, camping, backpacking and skiing. Why the name Full of Hands? Full of Hands is a reference to someone being busy. My oldest son once said, "…in a few dad, I'm Full of Hands."
Take a look at my resume for some career highlights. I'm happy to talk tech, products and cool ideas anytime!
