1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a novel input device for capturing, preserving and correlating information in a variety of formats, including at least image (text and/or graphics), handwritten information and audio information.
2. Background Art
Notwithstanding the advances which have been made in computer technology in the areas of recording and processing of data, paper use has not been reduced. Paper continues to provide the highest resolution, most portable, most available, most easily used in cooperative efforts and most easily manipulated information display system. However, outside of well-equipped offices, paper is not part of the I/O path of computing systems. This fact is directly responsible for the common experience of accumulating documents from meetings, mail, paper-based creative and planning work, and other paper intensive activities. While it is obvious that a large portion of this paper accumulation may have been printed by computer systems, it is also true that a paper document is a more usable form of information representation than the display of a computer file on a computer screen. It is common for work (such as revisions, additions, document creation and annotations) which is performed on paper using handwriting to be transcribed into computer files by laborious effort at work stations. Similar laborious effort is required when documents are created by dictation.
The prior art evidences a variety of information input interfaces including facsimile or scanning input devices, digitizing tablets to capture handwritten information, audio input devices to capture audible information, and keyboards to input coded information. The variety of these devices do not assist in overcoming the problems which have been evidenced in the prior art since each is intended to interface with only a single form of information. While facsimile or scanner devices can capture both printed or typed text as well as handwriting, the file that is produced as a result of such input is limited substantially to preserving and reproducing the input information. While the prior art includes techniques for extracting information from images of typed text, such as OCR methods as well as methods of extracting information from handwritten information (handwriting recognition systems) neither is effective on an image which includes both printed text as well as handwritten information.
Accordingly, the invention is directed at the problem of the paper/computer work flow bottleneck through the introduction of a new tool. The tool is intended to allow a person to continue using paper in the traditional way while at the same time providing for capturing information for efficient computer manipulation. As a consequence, the user equipped with the invention will have the means for casual and unstructured use of paper combined with the means for providing corresponding computer data which can be efficiently processed.
As described herein, the tool which has been referred to for enabling the use of paper as an off-line medium for computer interaction includes both hardware and software components. The hardware components include a stylus digitizer (sometimes referred to as a tablet) and a scanner. These input elements are combined with an embedded processor in order to format the output from the scanner and digitizer into data files on a non-volatile medium or the dump those files to other systems through a convenient conventional port. Preferably, the tool also handles analog speech recording. For control purposes, the tool includes a small character-oriented display and control panel. The panel allows the user to inform the device that a previously-scanned page has been remounted so that data from the previous scanning operation and a subsequent event or events can be correctly combined. The subsequent event or events can be either or both of audio annotation and/or handwritten annotation. The display allows a path to conduct page number and status information to be provided to the user. Local segments of the digitized information can also be displayed. When speech annotation has been captured, the tool can provide feedback to the user showing an icon representing capture of audio information. Finally, in some environments such as on long trips, an auxiliary display can be used to review file contents.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, these components are combined in a portable package with a form factor similar to that of a clipboard. The clip portion of the clipboard is detachable and is formed for use as a hand-held scanner. The board portion of the clipboard contains a stylus digitizer. The hand-held scanner is arranged to mechanically interface with the stylus digitizer via spring-loaded toggles which engage tracks on the digitizer either on the bottom or at the edges of the board. With this mechanical interface, when a piece of paper is supported by the digitizer, the scanner can be run across the page guided by the tracks so that an image of the page is captured by the scanner. As the scanner reaches one end of the digitizer, it is locked into a final position at the top of the board where it locks the paper to the digitizer. The paper is now said to be "mounted" in the same sense as a disk or tape file may be mounted. The image of the paper taken in the act of clipping it to the board is then available for future upload to a more complete information processing system. Similarly, any annotations made with the digitizer are saved in the clipboard memory and associated with the scan image. Preferably, the digital information which is captured by the clipboard (either the scanner or the digitizer) can be compressed to conserve storage.
It should be apparent from the foregoing that the user of such a tool has a paper quality presentation medium (the piece of paper itself) available for any document used in any circumstance. Further, having collected the data which contains both the image of the paper as well as any annotations made to the paper or associated with the paper (audio annotation), retention of the paper itself becomes optional. On return to an office environment, the recorded data can be dumped to an office system for storage, redisplay, recreation through printing or for reduction to coded form through a combination of recognition software techniques, e.g. optical character recognition for printed or typed text, handwriting recognition for written annotations and speech recognition for speech annotation.
Capturing information in this form has implications which impact on the workstation system software. It is of value to maintain synchronization or registration between the contents of the recorded data and the computer file system. This is accomplished by means of a bar code document/file identification system. Bar codes on printed documents can be read by the scanner at the time the document is mounted. User-changeable fields in the bar code or other parts of the document header can be used to differentiate succeeding versions of a given document. By storing a document in a root-plus-changes format, any point in the document development history remains available. Similarly, new versions of a document may be created either by conventional editing of coded information or by NCI editing of the document images.
Note-taking is pervasive and natural in human activity. The tool described by this application can facilitate work everywhere that paper is presently used as a medium of choice in personal and interpersonal activity. Consider for example annotating and adding significant amounts of text to an existing document. Assume that the existing document has been printed from a computer file and the computer has added a bar code to the page header in order to support document tracking. Assume that the document is distributed to attendees of a class or meeting, where the attendees do not have an available computing system. Work begins on the document by mounting it on the digitizer.
As described, the document is scanned as it is mounted. When the scanner reaches the top of the page, locking the paper to the board, the printed bar code is under the scanner. The bar code is scanned in and the data encoded in it is used to prepare a file header for the data reflecting that page. As the user makes annotations or adds text in handwriting, the digitizer generates data describing the stylus motion; that data is gathered and stored with a link to the scanned image. The stylus operations can include handwriting, gestures and graphics. The data added as a consequence of operation of the digitizer is of the kind needed by handwriting recognition algorithms. Preferably, the tool is also equipped with speech annotation apparatus allowing the user to point to or scribe gestures on the text. Timing information is stored along with both the digitized stroke and speech so that these data extremes can be correlated at a later time. On completion of operations on the first page, the next page can be mounted. As the page is demounted, it may be rescanned to provide data to support correlating the digitized writing with the printed text and to compensate for possible movement of the paper.
On return to an office environment, the work stored in the tool can be uploaded to a workstation. Because the proper forms of data had been stored in each of the interaction modalities, recognition techniques can be applied to the stored information to obtain coded forms of the document, including the voice- and stylus-entered additions. Since the uploaded file contains bar code information which was read from the pre-annotation page, the uploaded data can be correctly combined with the pre-existing computer file. Further, the digital representations of non-coded information can be saved or displayed or printed. The tool described herein has several advantages over "notebook" and "notepad" computers. These advantages arise from the fact that no weight is wasted on the display since the document itself is a display and no computation is included for conversion of the input into coded form. A much more powerful set of recognition tools can be applied at a later date at a workstation if the image of the document is not sufficient to the user's purposes. A system such as has been described is far less expensive than a notebook or notepad computer and a complete paper record of work performed on the system can be maintained.
Accordingly, in one aspect the invention provides an electronic clipboard comprising:
a base unit with two substantially parallel major surfaces,
a digitizing tablet supported by the base unit producing a digital stream representing a time sequence of stylus positions,
a scanner detachably supported by the base unit,
optical scanning means supported by the scanner for producing a scan signal representing optical scanning of a surface of an object, and
a processor coupled to the digitizing tablet and the optical scanning means, said processor responsive to the digital stream from the digitizing tablet for storing a representation of the digital stream, said processor responsive to the scan signal from the optical scanning means for storing a representation of the scan signal.
In accordance with another aspect, the invention provides a method of annotating an electronic representation of a document comprising the steps of:
scanning the document to be annotated,
creating and storing a scan file representing the scanned document,
annotating the document with a marking implement used as a digitizing tablet stylus,
creating a tablet file from signals generated by the digitizing tablet during the annotation,
storing the tablet file, and
generating a link between the scan file and the tablet file and storing the link along with the files.
The invention will now be described in the following portions of the application so as to enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same when reviewed in light of the attached drawings wherein:

FIG. 12 is a exemplary file display;
FIGS. 13A/13B and 14A/14B illustrate two examples of documents pre- and post-annotation which are useful in explaining the operation of the invention; and
FIG. 15 shows application of the clipboard to further processing on the captured data.
FIGS. 1 and 2 are a top view of the tool or electronic clipboard of the present invention. Two major components, as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprise the digitizing tablet 10 and the scanner 15. FIG. 1 shows the scanner 15 locked in its final position, as will be described, and FIG. 2 illustrates that the scanner 15 is removable for scanning the surface of objects which need not be supported on the digitizing tablet 10. FIG. 3 is an isometric view of the digitizing tablet 10 and shows the major supporting surface 30. The digitizing tablet 10 includes another major surface, parallel to the paper supporting surface 30 which is not illustrated. The digitizing tablet 10 also includes a slot 20 and clip engaging notches 101 and 102, respectively. FIG. 4, a three-dimensional view of the scanner 15, shows the clips 156 which are guided in the slots 20 in use.
FIG. 5 shows the slot 20 in detail illustrating its major components. These include the notch 101 leading to a leading ramp area 103. As will be described, when the clip 156 engages the ramp 103, a spring is compressed to firmly hold the scanner to the paper supporting surface 30. As the clips 156 ride through the slot 20, near the terminal portion of the travel, a down ramp 104 portion is reached and finally the clips 156 reach the fixed position region 105.
FIGS. 6 and 7 are cross-sections of the scanner 15 illustrating the manner in which the clips 156 are supported by the scanner 15.
As seen in FIGS. 6 and 7, the scanner 15 includes an upper surface 15U and a lower surface 15B. A guidebar 156G is supported between the surfaces 15U and 15B. A bushing 156B is arranged to ride along the guidebar 156G under the opposing forces of a return spring 157 and a clamp spring 158. The bushing 156B carries an extension 156L which is formed into a clip 156 below the surface 15B. The clip 156 can be inserted into the slot 20 of the digitizing tablet 10 through the notches 101 and 102, respectively. With the scanner supported in the region of the lower portion 10A of the digitizing tablet 10, the clips 156 can be engaged in the notches 101, 102. Thereafter, as the scanner 15 is moved in the direction of the arrow S, the surface of the clips 156 initially engage the up ramp 103. The motion of the clips 156 compresses the clamp spring 158 in order to secure any paper on the surface 30 firmly in position. The clamp spring 158 is maintained in this condition as the clips 156 ride along the slot 20. As the clips 156 reach the down ramp region 104, the return spring 157 acts to move the clip 156 and its extension 156L vertically upward until the clip 156 reaches the clip position 105 where it maintains any paper on the paper supporting area 30 firmly in position. Similarly, the scanner can be drawn across books or documents too thick for mounting, in which case the toggles are caused to retract by pressure from the scanned surface compressing springs 157.
The scanner 15 includes an optical scanning element 15S which is shown in dotted outline in FIG. 7. The scanning element 15S includes a light source and optical detector arrangement to create the scanned signals. The scanning element 15S is commercially available and one device which can be used is the Kyocera Amorphasilicon Full Contact Line Image Sensor Model KICB-216-8A-STD1. During the motion of the scanner 15 in the direction S, the optical scanner element 15S, supported in the scanner 15, generates signals representing any image of the paper 30. As will be described, the signals generated by the optical scanner are used to create a scan file which is recorded and maintained.
FIG. 8 is a detail of the upper surface of the scanner 15 illustrating its major components. These components include a LCD display 151, control pushbuttons 152-154 and below the region 154 a microphone.
FIG. 9 illustrates an edge of the digitizing tablet 10 which illustrates a floppy disk slot 109 and a floppy disk release 108, an RS232 port 107 and an RJ11 jack 106.
FIG. 10 is a block diagram of the components internal to the tablet 10. These components include a bus including control lines C, address lines A and data lines D. The bus interconnects the electronic components, including CPU 201, RAM 202, ROM 203, disk drive 209, I/O port 212, display 250, analog to digital converter 254, a stylus digitizer 210, scanner interface 206 and scanner element 15S. FIG. 10 also illustrates that these components are powered by an internal battery, making the clipboard of the invention portable.
Inasmuch as each of the several components shown in FIG. 10 is entirely conventional, a detailed discussion of their construction an operation is superfluous. It is important to note, however, that the I/O device 212 provides for input from the operator via the control keys 152-154 (and it should be apparent that more than three control keys could be employed), allows for the bidirectional flow of data via the RJ11 jack and allows output of data through the RS232 port.
Although there are many ways in which the device within the spirit and scope of the invention can be employed, an exemplary operation scheme will be described. The device may be powered or unpowered by sequentially depressing all three buttons 152-154 simultaneously. On power up, the display will create a top level menu. Two of the control keys, 152, 153, can be used for manipulating a cursor either up or down, respectively. Selection of the item which is highlighted by the cursor can be implemented by depressing the third pushbutton, 154. By using a hierarchy of menus, as is entirely conventional, entirely adequate control can be achieved with only the three control keys 152-154.
Operation of the scanner may be initiated in one of two fashions depending on whether the object surface being scanned is or is not supported on the tablet. In the case where the object being scanned is supported on the tablet, scanner operation is initiated when the clips engage the notches 101, 102. Sensing engagement in the notches by the clips can be achieved in a variety of entirely conventional fashions, one of which is a simple mechanical switch. In the event the scanner is used to scan the surface of an object not supported on the tablet surface 30, then retraction of the clips 156 can be sensed to initiate operation of the scanning element 15S. As an alternative, the user can manipulate a pair of the control keys 152-154 in order to initiate operation of the scanning element 15S. So long as the clipboard is powered on, the tablet can be initiated into operation merely by appropriate manipulation of the stylus S. As is conventional, the stylus S includes electrical components which interact with other electrical components contained in the digitizing tablet 10 so that the digitizing tablet 10 can produce signals representing the position, relative to the tablet 10, of the stylus S. Preferably, however, the stylus S also includes a conventional pen or pencil marking implement in order to provide rapid visual feedback to the user respecting the path over which the stylus S has travelled.
In typical use, a document is first scanned and thereafter annotated either with a digitizer or with audio information. Consequently, unless otherwise commanded by the user, annotation files (created by the digitizer or the use of the microphone) will be linked to the most recently scanned document file. When a document is scanned, signals representing an image of the surface of the document are captured and a file is created wherein those signals are stored in an entirely conventional fashion. However, in addition a control file is created which serves as a link to any subsequent annotations. The user may, however, indicate to the system that a document other than the most recently scanned document is to be annotated. When a digitizer or audio annotation file is created, entries are made to the appropriate control file in order to provide a link between a scanned file and the annotation file or files. It should be apparent that other conventional techniques of linking information from an optical scanner, the digitizer tablet and audio input information can also be employed in lieu of the linking arrangement just described. For example, rather than creating separate files for the scanned information, the digitized information and the audio annotation information, a single file can be created in which scanned information is found in one segment of the file, any digitized information is found in a separate segment and any audio annotation is found in a still different segment.
FIG. 11 illustrates some of the software provided for supporting the functions just described.
More particularly, detection of operator manipulation of a key or keys invokes a routine to interpret the key input. As has been described, that control operation can power the notepad, depower it, select an active file, direct the output of one or more files, erase one or more files, etc.
When the scanner operation is initiated, the functions shown in FIG. 11 immediately below the heading "scanner" are implemented. More particularly, function F1 captures the image from the scanner. Function F2 writes the captured data to a file which is or has been created for that purpose. Preferably, the writing function includes compressing the data in a conventional fashion. On completion of scanning, function F3 is performed to write the appropriate control file. Completion of scanning can be determined in one of two fashions. If the object surface being scanned is supported on the tablet surface 30, then when the scanner reaches the rest position 105, completion of the scan operation is detected. On the other hand, if the object surface being scanned is not supported on the tablet surface 30, then the termination of scanning can be signalled by the movement of the clips 156 away from the bottom surface 15B of the scanner 15 as it is lifted from the surface of the object that has been scanned by the user.
When signals are detected from the digitizer, function D1 is performed to capture the stylus motion in a manner which is conventional. At an appropriate point, function D2 is performed to write the signals that have been captured to a file which is or has been created for that purpose. When digitizing operation is complete, function D3 is performed to write to the control file to provide the link between the scanned file and a tablet file. Completion of digitizing can be detected either by a positive signal from the user via the control key or keys, or a suitable time-out or by demounting the document.
Capturing audio annotations can be initiated either through a positive signal by the user operation of one or more control keys or with a voice operated switch. In either event, function Al is performed to capture the audio, i.e. convert it to digital form and store it. Function A2 writes the digitized representations of the audio, and appropriate timing information, to a file which is or has been created for that purpose. On completion of audio annotation, function A3 is performed which writes an appropriate link to the control file. Completion of audio annotation can be signalled either positively by the user manipulation of one or more control keys or through a suitable time-out.
FIG. 12 is an example of a typical display illustrating the file format created by operation of the invention and stored on a floppy diskette. As shown in FIG. 12, six files are represented. A first document, identified as 110 is associated with a control file, a scanned file and a digitized file. A second document, identified as 112, is associated with a control file, a scanned file and an audio annotation file. Of course, as has been explained, the control file associated with document 110 had at least one entry identifying the associated digitizer file. The control file 110 may, but need not, have an explicit entry identifying the scanned file inasmuch as the presence of a scan file may be implicit.
FIGS. 13A and 13B illustrate an example of the use of the invention in an application where a document may be handed out and used, as will be described. FIG. 13A shows a document D which carries some original text and/or graphics as well as an ID in the form of a bar code for example. Typically, the user will "mount" the document as has been described. More particularly, the user will lay the document D on the paper supporting surface 30, hold the document with a thumb at 10A and run the scanner 15, with the clips 156 guided by the slot 20, from the position at which the clips 156 engage the notches 101 and 102 up to the position in which the clips 156 engage the rest position 105. The action of the scanner traversing the document generates scan signals in a manner well known to those skilled in the art, and those scan signals are input to the electronics components of the electronic clipboard so that after the scanning operation has been complete, a file SCAN 113 has been created and stored on the disk located in the disk drive 209. The reference SCAN 113 in FIG. 13A illustrates the original text and graphics has now been captured in the file scan 113. Furthermore, using well known techniques, a copy of the document D can be created from the file SCAN 113 in any of a number of ways. For example, the file SCAN 113 can be read and the signals created during the reading process can be coupled through the RJ11 jack to a facsimile machine to recreate a copy of the document D. Alternatively, those same signals can be coupled through an RS232 port to a workstation so that a copy of the document D is created on the CRT screen of the workstation. Other ways of creating a copy of the document D will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
Returning now to the user, who has now mounted the document D on the electronic clipboard, now assume that he adds several handwritten annotations on the document such as the annotations N1-N3 shown in FIG. 13B. The act of creating these annotations, inasmuch as the document D is supported on the digitizing tablet, will create tablet signals from the digitizer 210. The signals will be employed by the CPU 201 to create a file DIGITIZE 113 to be stored on the disk contained in the disk drive 209.
Having created the annotated document D' of FIG. 13B, the user may now discard the document and thereafter recreate a copy of the document D' in any of a number of ways. In addition to recreating a copy of the document D' in a manner which has been set forth with respect to the document D, the user can perform some functions on the files SCAN 113 and DIGITIZE 113 which are novel. For example, after uploading the files SCAN 113 and DIGITIZE 113 to a workstation, the user can extract information from the files SCAN 113 and DIGITIZE 113 by using respectively character recognition analysis on the file SCAN 113 and handwriting recognition software on the file DIGITIZE 113. To the extent that the user's annotations N1-N3 can be analyzed using handwriting recognition, those annotations can be translated into encoded form, just as character recognition can translate the image such as that shown in FIG. 13A into encoded form.
Application of the invention does not require the annotations to be outside of a field containing the original text and graphics such as is illustrated in FIGS. 13A and 13B. FIGS. 14A and 14B illustrate a different document D1 which further illustrates the capabilities of the invention. More particularly, as shown in FIG. 14A, the document D1 includes three lines of printed text, i.e. printed text 1, printed text 2 and printed text 3. In order to demonstrate this application of the invention, we will assume that the user has "mounted" this document in the same fashion that the document D has been mounted such that a file SCAN 114 has been created representing an image of the document D1. FIG. 14B shows the document D1 has now been annotated by the user while it is secured to the digitizing tablet of the invention. More particularly, the user has annotated the document by the handwritten insertions numbered 1-3. As a consequence of the fact that the handwritten annotations were created while the document was supported on the digitizing tablet, the electronic clipboard of the invention has captured the motion of the pen or pencil associated with stylus S used in the annotation and created a file DIGITIZE 114.
Having the files SCAN 114 and DIGITIZE 114 available on the disk, the user can now recreate the document D1' in any of the ways already mentioned. Furthermore, the user can, after transferring the files SCAN 114 and DIGITIZE 114 to a workstation apply character recognition analysis to the file SCAN 114 and handwriting recognition to the file DIGITIZE 114.
FIG. 15 for example illustrates some of the uses of the data which has been captured by operation of the clipboard just described. FIG. 15 shows for example that the RJ11 port is coupled via a cable 295 to a facsimile machine 300 to recreate a copy of the document D from a scanned file. With appropriate software, the clipboard can merge a scanned file and digitized file so as to recreate a copy of the annotated document D' in lieu of the original document D on the facsimile machine 300. The merge operation is implemented in two steps. In a first step, the scanned file is copied, in a second step, the digitized information is used to mark the portions of the scan image corresponding to the locations at which digitized information is present. As a consequence of the second step, the scan image has been annotated by information contained in the digitized file. When this merged file is output to, for example, a facsimile machine 300, the output of the facsimile machine 300 will be a copy of the annotated document D'.
FIG. 15 also suggests that the cable 295 can be connected to a workstation 400 in lieu of the facsimile machine 300. The cable 295 may be connected to the RS232 port for output in this case. As shown in FIG. 15, the workstation 400 includes a display 410 on which can be recreated either the original document D, from the scanned file, or the annotated document D' by suitably combining the scanned file and the digitized file. It should also be apparent that if desired the workstation 400 can display only the handwritten annotation. Furthermore, the workstation 400 can apply conventional optical character recognition techniques to the scanned file so as to derive a coded version of the information recently contained in the document D. In a similar fashion, the workstation 400 can apply conventional handwriting recognition to the digitized file to obtain a coded version of the handwritten annotations. It is also possible for the workstation 400 to apply voice recognition techniques to an audio annotation file to create a coded version of the audio annotations in a like fashion.
While a particular example of the invention has been described, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many variations can be accomplished within the spirit and scope of the invention and accordingly the scope of the invention should not be limited by the particular example described herein, but rather should be construed in accordance with the claims attached hereto.
For example, while the use of a floppy disk has been mentioned, which implies a magnetic storage device, it is also within the scope of the invention that magnetic tape could be employed, demountable semiconductor memory or optical storage techniques. Furthermore, the clipboard may contain a hard disk in lieu of, or in addition to, the floppy disk drive.

I've been really dismayed the last week or so as people post on Facebook and Twitter how we need to cut spending, and they insist it can't come from the "job creators." There's no room for debate: we have to stop carrying the lazy, unemployed bums and others who won't work and give breaks to the wealthiest on the off chance they'll somehow find it in their hearts to create jobs.
Facts and history aren't persuading these folks that we can't keep on this way. In fact, there's a sizeable chunk of people out there who think it would be good to default on our debt so we would have to cut programs that help people in need.
The debt ceiling wasn't such an issue when Congress voted to raise it seven times during the George W. Bush administration. In fact, Vice President Dick Cheney said, "Debt doesn't matter," as he and his cronies started two wars with no idea how they would be paid for, and then cut taxes on the wealthiest Americans.
Now, all of a sudden, debt matters. That's because we're running out of money from the debt THEY ran up. We have to cut spending, they say, not increase taxes.
So, who do we cut?
Medicaid is pretty much pared to the bone already. Come 2014, it's supposed to cover all Americans who earn up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level; I'm hoping it still will be around then.
Already, most single adults are excluded from Medicaid. Even with Stage 3 cancer, my son Mike wasn't eligible until he and his wife split. I was asked to write and sign a letter saying they had split and had no intention of getting back together when we thought Mike's only option was to live with me (his best friend invited him to live with him, offering him somewhat more of a sense of independence).
People who use Medicaid often are denied the best drugs and treatments because Medicaid doesn't cover it. If you have diabetes, you will get medication, but not the newest meds that really help control blood glucose. If you have a psychiatric illness, you won't get the drugs that work the best, so your illness will be more difficult to stabilize.
The people served by Medicaid aren't just "welfare mothers" and "bums" as so many Americans lucky enough to have jobs and good health believe. People with serious disabilities get services such as physical, occupational and speech therapy. Even the places they live, which offer the skilled care they need, are paid for by Medicaid. If we cut more, some of them will be placed in nursing homes with no therapy, no activities, surrounded by people with whom they have nothing in common.
OK, so do we cut unemployment compensation? Does it really keep people from looking for jobs?
Historically, no one has objected to helping people who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. We give tax breaks to huge corporations when they ship jobs overseas and then criticize the people who lose their jobs as a result, plotting to punish them instead of the corporate bigwigs who took the jobs away.
So, let's shave some dollars from the Pentagon budget. I think Halliburton and their ilk can afford to lose some revenues, especially since the've been allowed to wantonly rip off the American people with shoddy workmanship and overpriced, no-bid contracts for a decade now. Those billions could have fed the nation's hungry children or fixed our crumbling national infrastructure.
Let's cut some of the benefits we give members of Congress. No more free ride on health care. No more lifelong pensions — or jobs, for that matter. If we limit the amount of time people can spend there, maybe we can go back to citizen rule instead of a country run by corrupt corporate shills.
I'm really angry about how many Americans believe the lies they're being fed by a bought-and-paid-for media, and how many really think it's OK to let the Right have its way and destroy our lives and our country.
No more cuts to programs ordinary people need to get by. None. Not one cent. Tell your member of Congress today.

Researching the Fortune 100 Chief Marketing Officers (CMO) and learning that most are still ignoring the move to social, one wonders whether some of them need a real wake up call.
You remember how in the movie The Sixth Sense where the Bruce Willis character didn't realize how events unfolding around him were part of the real world and only realized later that he wasn't living in it. That's what some of these CMOs seem to be experiencing. They just continue to do the same things they've always done – only it's not going to work in the social era.
To illustrate the point, in our research, while the top three have a combined Twitter following of nearly 94,000, an astounding 76% of CMOs* or Heads of Marketing (if the company didn't have a Head of Marketing, we used the highest ranking Communications officer (CCO)) have no Twitter following whatsoever. Only 15 executives have at least 100 subscribers on
I asked Beth Comstock, from General Electric and our top Social CMO, for her thoughts regarding CMO participation in social, she told us: "If you believe, as I do, that social is going to continue to play an increasingly important role in shaping the way that people connect, live and work, then I think it's imperative that you, as a CMO, use the technology. I believe in immersing yourself in something to truly understand it."
Jonathan Becher, SAP's CMO agrees with Comstock, telling me, "While it's possible to run a social enterprise and have impactful social media programs in place without having a personal Facebook page or an active twitter account, CMOs who aren't personally social are missing a huge opportunity. Being a Social CMO is less about being adept at using the tools and more about developing an intimacy with and understanding of your customers, employees, peers, and influencers. As a CMO, it's important to listen, to be part of the conversation, and to lead by example – social allows you do all of these in a more impactful way than ever before."
This year's Top 20 CMO list actually consisted of 14 truly social CMOs or CCO's, 5 honorees that have experimented with becoming social but haven't been consistent, and one CCO honoree, Microsoft's Frank Shaw who is very social, but since
Here's the Top 20 list
(Click through to see the BusinessNext Top 20)
The Benefits of Having a Social CMO
It's clear in my discussions with Social CMOs and those that aren't that there is a huge divide in how they and their companies operate. For example, at Cisco, according to CMO Blair Christie, each of the executives has access to a social media Kiosk that sits in executive row that displays a heat map of social activity for the day, a list of Cisco influencers and other relevant social content. "We've mapped social into our business processes, and it's gone so well that in some topics we have a higher share of voice in social media than we do in traditional media. So from a marketing perspective, you can't buy enough advertising or paid media to replicate the results of our much lower cost social campaigns."
Not many of the CMOs I know that are avoiding the move to social, discuss topics like influencer marketing, social media for acquiring and retaining talent, and restructuring the organization to accommodate a more social business; but Pam Wickham, Raytheon's Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Communications does. From her perspective, "We're looking out 4 years from now and predicting our new employees' expectations. That is our approach – we understand that today is the day that we need to prepare."
Personal Benefits of Being a Social CMO
Life as a top executive of any large company is a tough job. It's especially tough for CMOs given the high turnover rate. From my experience, having a large following and creating a stronger social network of influential people around you - means you become nearly unemployment proof. It also means you have the ability to influence employees, partners, suppliers and customers directly by using the same platforms and tools that they use every day. It means you can receive instant, personal feedback without having to wait for the data analysts to tell you their interpretation of the situation. It's the dream situation for a marketer, and most of the marketing leaders are not doing it.
Frank Shaw, Microsoft's Corporate Vice President, Corporate Communications explains the importance of personal use of social - this way, "If we as communicators are going to use these new channels, we have to use them personally, understand the differences in tone, the idiosyncrasies, strengths and weaknesses each offer. Of course you can approximate that by lurking, but nothing gives the visceral understanding of any medium like actually using them."
Even Ken Cohen, Exxon Mobile's Head of Public Communications understands the importance of being social. While we were unable to speak with him, it's clear he gets it.
Finally, to answer those critics that will quarrel with the need for CMOs to be social, we only need to thank the Top 20 for affording us the opportunity to prove otherwise. As they've shown, it's crucial to understand how customers, suppliers, employees and partners are communicating and collaborating. And it's the CMO who can have significant impact.
Mark Fidelman is Conference Director of the BusinessNext Social conference, and is the author of the new book Socialized! which provides a playbook for CMOs and businesses to become social.
*In some cases where we use the term CMO, we also are extending the term to include Heads and Chiefs of Communication and or Marketing in the cases of Pam Wickham and Jim Wilkinson as an example.

"Glasses-free 3-D TV" sounds crazy because, well, that would look like real life, right? The newest Sony incarnation of the mythical television feels closer than ever—almost like Sony might actually Lasek our 3-D TV experience one day.
Maybe it was just the partially-enclosed black bay in which Sony is exhibiting its latest glasses-free 3-D prototype, but the 4k display really pops. The colors are vibrant, and when you're watching slow-moving video, objects emerge organically from the screen—more convincingly than anything we've seen before. As with earlier versions of glasses-free 3-D, the overall effect isn't quite good enough to be immersive. The TV works best if you look at the screen straight on, and as this straight-on view moves towards 45-degrees, the effect becomes distorted and blurry, if it doesn't disappear altogether. In other situations, like when an object bulges out quickly or when you're watching something busy like a school of fish swimming, the 3-D effect is jarringly blurry and distorted. All of the performance, it should be noted, was better on the the 24" glasses-free display right next to the 46-incher. That bodes well for the future.
We overheard lots of oohs and ahhs from passers by, and with good reason: The 3-D experience Sony created here is pretty impressive. On the other hand, from the short amount of time we spent watching the cycled video, it still felt more like an exhibited prototype than the real thing. The improvement in this year's TV, though, was tangible. A glasses-free future might not be that far away.

Webb: 'We've got something special going on'
SARASOTA, Fla. -- After enjoying the best season of his career for the Marlins in 2013, Ryan Webb suddenly found himself non-tendered and on the open market.
The Orioles were quick to express their interest in the 28-year-old right-hander, and Webb took notice. So just over a week after being granted free agency by Miami, Webb signed a two-year, $4.5 million deal with Baltimore.
"There were 15, 16 teams on the phone, but the Orioles were first and the most aggressive," said Webb. "That played a big part in it as well, the fact that they were one of the first teams on the phone and wanted me from the beginning. They said they had been watching me for a while and stuff like that. That made it comfortable for me."
Webb finished last season with a 2.91 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 80 1/3 innings over 66 appearances, posting a 56.3 percent ground-ball rate out of the Marlins' bullpen. He's been fairly consistent throughout his career, going 13-15 with a 3.29 ERA in 276 innings over parts of five seasons with the Padres and Marlins.
The Marlins told him they chose to non-tender him due to "allocation of resources, payroll stuff," but Webb didn't take it personally. Instead, he was excited to join a team with postseason aspirations like the Orioles.
"It was mainly just looking at the competitive team they've put together the last couple years, the lineup they have, the great things I've heard about Buck [Showalter] managing bullpens. Looking at the guys here, I really think we've got something special going on," Webb said. "They're going to compete in one of the toughest divisions in baseball, and that was really intriguing for me, because I'm up for a challenge.
"It made sense for me to take the opportunity to come here and try to be a part of something special that the Orioles are doing."
Some pitchers might shy away from the challenge of pitching in the American League East, a division full of deep lineups and a couple hitters' ballparks. Not Webb, though.
"I'm a competitive person. To be the best, you've got to beat the best. They don't really scare me," Webb said. "It's going to be a challenge. It's not going to be easy. You're going to probably hit some road bumps like everybody does, but I'm mentally and physically ready and at the point in my career where I'm up for the challenge. So I'm glad to be in this clubhouse with these guys, ready to take that on."
Webb would seem to be in line to lock down some sort of late-inning setup role for the Orioles this year but said he's grown comfortable pitching in basically any role out of the bullpen.
"All I can do is make sure I do my job, keep the ball on the ground, try to get quick outs. Buck's going to make the decisions on who to utilize out of the bullpen," Webb said. "We've got a lot of good pieces, so it's going to be interesting to see how the dominoes fall this year."

An Introduction to Multiphase Buck Regulators
The below introductory section features a video briefly discussing what exactly multi-phase buck regulators are, what applications they're suited for, and some of the challenges associated with implementing them. Additionally, the listed resources dive a little deeper into the topics covered in the video, providing further instruction in the beginning of your multiphase journey.
White Papers
Control and Design Challenges for Synchronous Rectifiers
With the development of telecommunication and mobile technologies, smart phones, tablets and notebook computers became essential parts of everyday life. Because of this, we require more powerful processors, which requires increased batter size and higher levels of AC/DC chargers, while the size is expected to remain the same or grow smaller.
Designing with Multiphase
In designing with multiphase, Carmen works through a six-phase design for powering the core voltage of a networking ASIC, Marketing Manager George Lakkas explains why multiphase converters are ideal for high currents, and TI engineers blog about common concerns and use contexts.
Learn the basic tips and tricks to select and design with a MOSFET to get to market faster.
Multiphase 101
In today's computing environment, CPUs, FPGAs, ASICs and even peripherals are growing increasingly complex and, consequently, so do their power delivery requirements. To handle the higher demands, multiphase regulators are becoming increasingly common on motherboards in many areas of computing--from laptops and tablets to servers and Ethernet switches. Designing with these regulators is more challenging than using conventional switchers and linear regulators, but the benefits of multiphase outweigh the complexity for high-performance power applications.

PSpice for TI: Introduction
Selecting a MOSFET
In complicated power designs, metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) selection has a tendency to be somewhat of an afterthought. While it's just a three-pin device, appearances can be deceiving and trying to select the correct MOSFET or "FET" can be a task more complicated than you might think. In this 7-part blog series, we analyze a variety of typical FET applications, from power supply to motor control, and address the various concerns and trade-offs that dictate the FET selection process.
Testing in the Lab
In testing in the lab, Carmen takes a six phase buck regulator through basic validation testing in the lab with plenty of tips and waveforms shared. Let Carmen show you how to test transient response, input and output ripple, phase stability, and thermal performance. Additionally, TI engineers blog about various lab tricks related to multiphase devices.
Understanding MOSFET datasheets
When it comes to MOSFET datasheets, you have to know what you're looking for. While certain parameters are obvious and explicit (BVDSS, RDS(ON), gate charge), others can be ambiguous at best (ID, SOA curves), while others can be downright useless at times (see: switching times).

Home | The Animals | World of Macaws | Green Wing Macaw
of Macaws (Hook Bills)
Macaws are considered to be the most intelligent of all birds and are called by
many biologists the FLYING PRIMATES.
This WORLD specializes in eight species/subspecies of Large Macaws.
Common Name: Green
Winged Macaw
Genus/Species: Ara chloroptera
From eastern Panama across a vast area of northern South
America, to Bolivia, Paraguay and most parts of Brazil.
From eastern Panama across a vast area of northern South
America, to Bolivia, Paraguay and most parts of Brazil.
Natural Habitat:
Wooded riparian zones, swamps, virgin forests and savannas. A true forest bird, feeding in the
Physical Appearance:
Physical appearance may slightly vary depending on geographic area. Regardless of size, all macaws are characterized by strong beaks, long pointed tails, loud voices, and a
facial area of bare skin called the cheek patch.
The cheek patch in the Green Winged Macaw is adorned with lines of single
red feathers in a stitchery like pattern.
Their head and body are red.
Wings are blue and green.
They generally lay their two or three eggs in a two-day interval. The incubation period is from 21 to
28 days. All macaws are devoted family birds, mating for life and looking after
their young even after they are grown.
They are altricial at birth.
The young are vigorous even when young.
The little macaws beg for food by flinging their wings and giving loud
cries. The parent responds by
grasping baby's beak at an angle; the young bird pumps away, taking food from
the parent's crop into its own. The most disturbing discovery made about macaws
is their low reproductive capacity in the wild.
There may be as few as 15 to 25 young born each year to a group of 100
breeding pairs. They do not breed
STATUS in Natural Habitat:
Endangered in their natural habitat.
Possibly extinct in Argentina, locally extinct in Bolivia, and virtually extinct
in Brazil. However it is the most
common macaw in French Guiana.
Cool Fact:
Green Winged Macaws are the second largest of the parrots. Macaws live in pairs or very small
groups but not in flocks.

Want to make a name for yourself in Asia? A plunging neckline might do the trick. If that doesn't work, try a cosplay of King of Fighters character Mai Shiranui. And if that doesn't work, do both.
This weekend, Model Wu Xi Er showed up at the Hainan International Auto Show, leaning on cars in a revealing outfit that resembled the skimpy threads that first made controversial model Gan Lulu famous.
Wu Xi Er also donned a Mai Shiranui cosplay—which seems to be a publicity stunt favorite. Earlier this year in Taiwan, model Yoyo made quite a stir in her homeland (and in neighboring China and Japan) with her Mai Shiranui cosplay at her photobook promotion. This spring, Chinese model Li Mengtian also caused waves with her Mai Shiranui.
Wu Xi Er is simply the latest to try out gaming's jiggly ninja. Oh my!

Why are people taking wedding photos in the middle of natural disasters? Is this becoming a new photo fad? Last week we had Josh Newton's photos in the middle of a raging fire in Oregon. Today we got Colleen Niska's photoshot with a tornado as the backdrop.
I'm sure couples and photographers around the country are now hoping that some major disaster happens in the middle of their weddings to win Instagram for a day.
Images above by Colleen Niska.
Do these photographs mean that marriage can survive all disasters or perhaps they are a metaphor of the disaster that marriage itself can be? Only time will tell them. In any case, I can't wait for the flood and deadly virus pandemia wedding photo series.

I never would have thought that the one thing I loved would become the one thing to nearly destroy me.
It all started the summer before my sophomore year. After experiencing pain following a football camp, I ended up in the hospital for an appendectomy. Following my surgery, I was told that I had a slight heart murmur. The doctor considered it harmless because heart murmurs after surgeries are not uncommon for patients. The murmur had not disappeared by the end of the summer, so an echocardiogram was scheduled as a precaution. From there, I was referred to a specialist in Sioux Falls. Upon studying the results of the echo, I was told to de-condition my heart for a year to decipher whether or not it was an athlete's heart, a harmless condition for people with an active lifestyle. A year later, I went in for a checkup, and the thickening in the heart walls had decreased significantly. This made the doctors think it was athlete's heart and not heart disease. After much deliberation, it was decided that I could play. I spent my junior year playing varsity football and wrestling, all the while never having an adverse effect. It was a sign that my heart was holding up well to the stress. Before my senior year, I worked out and attended football camps all summer. As the football season rolled around, I was ready to get started. And then Oahe Prep Bowl happened. After pregame warm-ups, we were hanging out in the end zone waiting for the game to begin. I was telling a joke to a group of friends on the team and stood up to find myself very dizzy. The next thing I remember is my dad's voice calling me back to consciousness, and I opened my eyes to see gathering of doctors, teammates and family surrounding me. Seeing the jumble of people when I first awoke left me slightly panicked, although more so for my mom and teammates than for myself. My heart had stopped for nearly two minutes, I was told shortly after. One shock from the miraculous defibrillator brought me back to life. I was put on a stretcher against my will and carried into an ambulance, but not before giving the double thumbs up sign to the crowd. The doctors stabilized me at St. Mary's. Plans jumped from sending me immediately to Sioux Falls to permission to head home the next afternoon. Tons of family and friends stopped by the Intensive Care Unit to visit me and wish me well. It meant a lot to me and certainly helped to speed up the recovery process. The decision was eventually made that I would in fact be driven to Sioux Falls via ambulance. The next day an infinite number of tests were run, and the doctors told me I bleed green and white. They also decided that I would have an automatic defibrillator implanted in my chest. I stayed awake for most of the surgery, having some impressive doped-up conversations with the doctors. Before the implantation began, the defibrillator must have been held too close to a machine because after the surgery, they realized that it was slightly magnetized. The only side effect I have of this is sometimes when my heart rate goes up, the radio will switch to a higher frequency station, and vice versa when my heart rate slows. Oh, and I recently figured out that I can shut my computer off just be sneezing. Also, small metal objects will stick to my chest, over the scar.
I'm now back in school, trying to get back in rhythm with life.
I have a few restrictions, though, including steering clear of magnetic fields, holding my cell phone up only to my right ear, not driving for six months and sticking to a non-salt diet. The doctors are still unsure about my exact condition. I've noticed that I've taken a more serious approach when it comes to important obstacles in life, and I don't waste time anymore with the things that hold a lesser meaning.
So the next time you're doing something you enjoy, make sure to stop, relax, and cherish every moment of it.
Try not to focus so much on the small problems because that's just what they are: small.
Happiness has always been the most important aspect of my life, which is why I was willing to take chances with football. Football was my craze; my passion. Knowing I gave it my all but can still turn to other areas of life with just as much enthusiasm lets me know that I can conquer anything. Go Govs!

When I wrote "Plot does not evaluate its arguments" I meant it in the usual (although inaccurate) sense that people frequently use in this context, namely: that the so called Evaluator does not pre-evaluate the arguments of Plot (if you do not like to thing of "the Evaluator", another way of saying this is that "Mathematica" does not evaluate the arguments before Plot is applied and leaves any evaluating to Plot.) Of course, you are right that Plot does evaluate its arguments in some way (this sort of behavior is also referred in the often used phrase: "Plot evaluates its arguments in a non- standard way"). The fact that this "non-standard" evaluation results in a plot of a function is actually new in version 6; in all previous versions all you will get is an error message about the values of the function being plotted not being numeric. Anyway, my point was that this has been a normal (non quirky) behavior of Mathematica since version 1 and has been discussed here a number of times. (It must be at least the fourth of fifth time in 10 years that I am addressing this issue on this forum). It is also fully documented (with examples) in the Mathematica online documentation, all past printed documentation and a vast number of books dealing with Mathematica.

text: Taylor Whyte and Van were working on a college assignment, and Van was very stressed out about it. Taylor's step mom, Brandi Love, came in. She told Van that he needed to relax. Taylor was tired of his stressed out attitude, so she went to the mall for a few hours. While Taylor was gone, Van stayed to work on the assignment. Brandi came in and saw how stressed out he also was, and she told him he needed a massage. She took him to her massage table and began rubbing him down. Then Brandi put her big tits close to his face while she massaged his chest. She continued rubbing and noticed he was getting a hard on. Brandi pointed it out, and he got embarrassed and covered it up. She told him to relax and peeled his towel off. Brandi liked what she saw and began stroking his cock. Taylor had just come back from the mall and saw them. Van jumped up, but Taylor told him to relax because she had told her step mom to do that before she left. Taylor and Brandi then began double-teaming his cock. They stroked it and sucked on his cock and balls. Brandi put her pussy on his face while Taylor sucked on his dick. Then they took turns getting fucked until Brandi stroked the cream out of his cock and onto Taylor's pretty face.

Two House Republicans from Florida are increasingly critical of their party's political strategy that has led to a government shutdown over the issue of health care reform.
Instead of bringing attention to the problems with the health care law, U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney said his party is making the controversy more about a shutdown for which Republicans stand to take the most blame.
"Doing what we are doing runs the risk of having an opposite affect," said Rooney, whose 17th Congressional District includes all of Charlotte County and part of Manatee.
Rooney has voted more than 40 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, saying he is convinced it is bad for the country. He said he would love nothing more than for President Barack Obama to sign a repeal of his signature legislative achievement, but he considers that improbable.
He said instead of futilely trying to repeal the law, Republicans should let it take effect, leaving the backlash to hit Democrats. Rooney said he has little doubt voters will elect Republicans to repeal the law once its impact is felt.
"Mitt Romney was our chance to repeal Obamacare," said Rooney, first elected in 2008. "Our next president is our next best chance."
He's not alone. U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Lakeland, told the National Journal on Tuesday that he thinks health care reform will ultimately be implemented despite the GOP recent efforts.
"We've lost this battle. We need to move to the next one," Ross said, according to the article.
Like Rooney, Ross said the public will reject the reforms when they are enacted.
"If Obamacare becomes law it will fall under its own weight of complexities, costs and inconsistencies, all at the expense of the American people," Ross said in a statement to the Herald-Tribune.
Rooney said he would rather let the health care debate go, and instead extract concessions from Democrats on the national debt when it comes time to vote on increasing the country's borrowing limit later this month.
There is a better chance Democrats can be forced to negotiate over entitlement reforms and cut government spending than convincing them to reverse the health reform law, Rooney said.
Rooney and Ross are among part of a growing group of GOP members pushing for a strategy change. A contingent of northeastern Republicans has pushed for a straight vote to fund the government without any references to the health care reform law.
U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Longboat Key, was careful not to criticize his party for its strategy, but made it clear shutting down the government was a mistake.
Still Buchanan said the impact of a shutdown is big should force compromise quickly.
"I think its a matter of just a couple of days," Buchanan said, though qualifying the conclusion as more of a hunch.

Two House Republicans from Florida are increasingly critical of their party's political strategy that has led to a government shutdown over the issue of health care reform.

Welcome to SolarAid
SolarAid is an international charity that combats poverty and climate change. We provide access to solar lights in some of the most remote regions of Malawi and Zambia through our social enterprise, SunnyMoney. Find out more about the SunnyMoney way…
The problem
598 million people in Africa alone have no access to electricity. Without electricity families have no clean source of light, leaving millions to rely on expensive and dangerous alternatives such as homemade kerosene lamps. These lamps are a poor source of light; they emit toxic black smoke, eat up to 15% of a family's income and are extremely hazardous.
The solution
With a solar light, everything changes. These little lamps are safe, clean and affordable. They give off hours of light in the evening so families can earn, learn and feel safe after dark. Just one lamp can transform the fortunes of an entire family and is the first step on an energy ladder to full electrification.

brighter, cleaner future"

The September issue of Research magazine puts a prime focus on the upcoming election. In "Where Will They Steer Us?" Nicole Gelinas of the Manhattan Institute looks at the political and policy ramifications of Wall Street reform. Failing to hold Big Finance acccountable should be a vulnerability for President Obama, she argues, but to capitalize on it Mitt Romney must take a clear stand for ending Too Big To Fail.
In "A Bold New Direction," Senior Editor Kenneth Silber sketches out a radical tax overhaul that the winner of the election could use to address economic and fiscal problems and move beyond political deadlock. The proposed approach centers on replacing the income tax with an innovative type of consumption tax, the "X tax."
Other September highlights include: "Seeking High Performance With Low Risk," Prof. Michael Finke's analysis of how low-risk investments can have outsize returns; "Clearing's New Space," Jane Wollman Rusoff's report on the fast-changing clearing industry; and Bill Good's Sales Seminar column, "Cold Calling 2012."
Click through the following slides to preview the September issue of Research magazine.
Nicole Gelinas, contributing editor of the Manhattan Institute's City Journal, argues that proposals for economic policy will not get much traction unless they include plans to put a definitive end to Too Big To Fail. Many voters, she writes, remain "white-hot enraged" over Wall Street bailouts.
President Obama, in Gelinas' view, is vulnerable on the issue of financial reform, given shortcomings of the Dodd-Frank legislation. Mitt Romney's background in private equity, she contends, could become a selling point—if he shows he will draw on it to make Big Finance accountable.
"Romney's best bet,' she writes, "is to embrace his past before it embraces him—and to promise that he'll use his unique skills to ensure that markets subject Wall Street to the same medicine that the rest of America has taken in the past four decades."
Research Senior Editor Kenneth Silber offers some advice to the winner of the presidential election, focused on remaking the tax system.
The new president should seek to replace the income tax with a progressive consumption tax or "X tax," according to Silber. Such a tax, first theorized by the late economist David Bradford, has gotten renewed attention from policy analysts as a more efficient system that boosts incentives for saving and investing. In addition, Silber proposes replacing the payroll tax with a carbon tax, aimed at reducing climate risks and dependence on foreign oil.
The next president, Silber writes, "could be the man who got rid of the income tax and payroll tax, improving the nation's economic and fiscal prospects while aiding the environment and national security in the process."
Seeking High Performance With Low Risk
Prof. Michael Finke delves into recent research on the performance and potential of low-risk investments.
"The capital asset pricing model has suffered a few indignities of late, " he writes. " The most recent comes from a series of academic articles questioning whether beta—or the one moving part of the model that determines the expected return of risky assets—is doing a good job of predicting subsequent returns."
Finke expounds on the practical implications of such research. A careful focus on low-beta investments, he suggests, can offer returns that are greater than anticipated by conventional theory.
Contributing Editor Jane Wollman Rusoff looks at innovations in the clearing industry. In an environment of low interest rates and regulatory upheaval, the clearing firms that have the greatest prospects of success—and survival—are those that have the advantages of cutting-edge products and large-scale presence.
"It's a tough business to be in and not for the faint of heart," says Sanjiv Mirchandani, president of National Financial.
One growing focus is that clearing firms increasingly are trying to cater to the interests of the stream of advisors leaving the wirehouses to set up independent practices.
Sales Seminar columnist Bill Good asks readers to send him their cold calling scripts so as to get his feedback and further his research into what works and what doesn't.
Meanwhile, he looks at the current state of the art. One piece of advice: Start by focusing on people who are interested, rather than those who are decision-makers or qualified in terms of assets.
Another tip is use the "ABC" method in closing, with specific steps aimed at signifying action, benefit and commitment. Moreover: "Once you start a close, don't stop talking until you finish the commitment question. This controls whether you get a big objection or a small objection. Most likely, you will get an objection after the close."

This courageous wish kid touches the lives of everyone on the Naval base – creating memories to last a lifetime.
"Rise and shine, Evan! Today, you and your family will need to arrive at Naval Air Station Fallon no later than 0730. Fleet training demonstration begins at 0800," stated Evan's newly-minted military itinerary.
His wish to go to Top Gun was about to come true. Evan – a fan of the movie "Top Gun" along with his older brothers – would gaze at airplanes wanting to reach out and touch them. At five-years-old, Evan knew his cancer diagnosis would not stop him from becoming a Top Gun pilot and taking control of a plane. He considered his wish to be a first step on his career path.
With the collaboration of Make-A-Wish® Eastern North Carolina and Make-A-Wish® Northern Nevada, Evan and his family travel to the Naval Strike and Warfare Center at Naval Air Station Fallon in Nevada to experience life as a Top Gun.
Evan enjoys a tour of the entire facility including a VIP tour of the flight line by a real flight instructor – Major Chip Berke. Donned in a flight suit, boots and mask, Evan feels right at home as he lives, eats and plays among his fellow Top Gun comrades for two days at the naval base.
"There were so many volunteers to help escort Evan and his family, but I was fortunate to get the job," Major Berke says. "Evan tells me that I work for him. He even asked to be taken back to 'his office' a few times after leaving Base Admiral Mat Moffit's desk."
Towards the end of his visit, Evan and his family attend the Top Gun graduation ceremony. Here, the admiral presents Evan with an Honorary Top Gun certificate.
While attending the reception, Congressman Jim Gibbons arranges for a flag to fly over the Capitol in Washington D.C. in honor of Evan. The flag is then saved for Evan on his birthday.
"Evan takes after my own heart," states the congressman. "He likes fast cars, fast airplanes and he knows what he wants to be when he grows up."
This courageous wish kid touches the lives of everyone on the Naval base – creating memories to last a lifetime.

Parallels Desktop 6 Gaming Performance
Parallels Desktop 5 made impressive gains in gaming performance, but I was still not convinced it could be used in place of Boot Camp and native Windows for games that need low input latency and accurate rendering to be playable. You don't want to be trying to shoot someone with a railgun and have VM lag slowing down your barrel—it's just irritating. So I was really hoping that all of the "% gaming increase, % 3D increase" the PR material tossed around was enough to just make modern 3D games playable without compromising quality. I loaded up Steam and grabbed a bunch of games, testing increasingly graphics-intensive games as I went.
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast (Radeon 4870)
This is a good basic test for modern games, since it was one of the first games to have an HDR lighting environment. These make for a more vivid environment and higher dynamic range—it was first demoed in this short freeware Half-life 2 map by Valve. The results were good across all apps tested.
Parallels Desktop 5
Good performance and framerate but frequent stutters. Very playable though.
Parallels Desktop 6
I was disappointed to find that my Wacom Intuos3 mouse, which never worked right in Parallels Desktop 5 games, was also a problem in version 6. The cursor would just swim around the screen unpredictably so I had to hook up my old Logitech G5. After that, the game played flawless and the FPS was very high at 1920x1200 with max settings with no anti-aliasing:
Sorry about the Russian movie theatre capture, but I started these thinking that screencaps would slow down the framerates. After testing a bit and realizing it didn't make a noticeable hit on the Mac Pro and its 8 hyper-threaded cores, I just used Screenflow to do captures. This gives you a better idea of the resolution, quality and sound output.
VMWare Fusion 3.1.1
Almost flawless, with frame update delays, missing reflections on water and display glitches: ?
Framerates were very good but noticeably behind Parallels even though it wasn't drawing reflections.

Houston Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear
Thoughts on the match
"We came back twice which is good to see. It's been a tough stretch for us. We played some real good stuff in the first half, and to go down a goal and get one back is good. Then I think we gave up a pretty silly goal, but we fought back hard to get back in the game. All credit to the guys. I think we scored in the 87th, 88th minute so their effort was fantastic tonight."
Thoughts on the goals
"It's [Will Bruin's] fifth goal. I think he's tied for what he did last year, so Will is off to a good start this season. And Luiz Camargo scored his first goal for us at the very end so it's good to see Luiz get on the score sheet. I'm sure it's going to give both guys confidence as we continue the season."
Thoughts on Geoff Cameron at center back
"It was a preseason game, maybe three years ago or so, and we just threw him back there during the halftime and he looked pretty confident and pretty good. We decided to stick with it and he's adapted to it very well. We had him playing in the midfield last year up until the end. We put him in the back and he seems very comfortable back there, he's good on the ball and a good defender. And he's now getting looks for the National Team. I think it's well deserved and I hope he gets a chance to stay and play well for them."
Houston Dynamo forward Will Bruin
Thoughts on the match
"We were playing well, and then unfortunately they got the penalty kick call. I think we have faced a lot of adversity and we have been down in situations, but we're a team that doesn't give up, we fight back, and in this game, we kept our cool. We got that goal, and I think we pretty much controlled the rest of the game from then on."
"We knew we were playing well (in the first half), and we had a lot of chances that could have made the score 2-1 or 3-1 if we had put the ball away, but we didn't. We knew that we had 45 minutes left to play, that it was going to be a battle, and that we had to keep the intensity up."
Thoughts on the run of four games in 11 days
"LA comes into Houston on Saturday, and it's a 1:30 game, so it's going to be hot. We need to recover for a week because we have played four games in 11 days. It's been busy for us, so we are going to take care of our bodies this week and be ready for Saturday."
Thoughts on another comeback
"We're a team that has good camaraderie. We stayed together even when they took that 2-1 lead, and we still knew that we would be pressing forward. We had confidence that we would get another goal, and we did. We're a team that fights for 90 minutes."
Houston Dynamo midfielder Adam Moffat
Thoughts on the match
"It was our fourth game in 11 days and we knew we were going to have a week of rest after this, so we gave it everything we had. Coming here is never easy with the turf. We were happy we didn't lose with the way the game went, but we also believed that we could have won as well if we had better possession and some better chances."
"We felt as though we had been dominating the first half, so it was just a matter of continuing to create chances. We went behind with that third goal and it was disappointing, but we always battle back and we never give up. We're never just going to give up. It was good we got a goal, but we were disappointed that it wasn't three points at the end."
Thoughts on the final goal
"We had about five minutes in total to try and get that last goal. Then we finally got that tying goal, which was great. It was a great goal by (Luiz) Camargo, who is one of our substitutes. It's great when substitutes come onto the field and make a difference, especially a goal. So it was good for him. It was also good for Brian Ching who made a great pass to him. It was a good finish overall. We would have loved to get a goal after that. We had a little bit of time left and felt like we had the upper hand. It didn't end with another goal, but at least we got that one."
Thoughts on the next match
"We will be heading back home for the next game, and typically we are a better team at home then on the road. We're undefeated in three games now, so we would like to keep that going. We don't want to just be undefeated, but we want to win the games as well. We have a little bit of a rest time here, with a seven-day period until our next game. Hopefully we'll get going this week and get a win against LA."
