this would be pretty cool...
but then apple will literally control so many things.
The "special" case is probably going to be over $100.
just another reason why your screwed if u lose your iphone
so many people would be on the fence with this. but the technology is awesome.
I just love technology!
you lost your phone in the year:
2010: you lose a fun toy
2011: you lose all your money, you kids' college funds, and your house. (and a fun toy)
^Lol. Put a pass code on then and the bank will probably return your money anyway, right?
you really think a 4 char. passwork will stop someone who's serious? just SSH into that baby, barely anyone changes their SSH pass.
Im sure you'll need to enter a password to use it. And like many credit and debit cards, the lenders will refund your money if it's stolen.
i think they have this in a few asian countries already for some time now,
just wave you phone to purchase.
I like it. Sure wouldn't be to hard to build it into a phone.
Next, they will be putting one in your brain at birth
Technology just keeps getting better.
Identification & Edge Technology
RFID Ant.
But then there is always a group of people that are against it.
I can't believe how many people are shooting this down. Having this would be way more secure.
I lose my wallet, i have 2 debit cards and a total of 3 credit cards, and probably a fair amount of cash not to mention all my other identification (and not that i do, but you'd be suprised how many people carry their social security card on them especially younger phone users who lose iphones left and right). basically i am ******.
NOW, say i lose my iPhone. I can pull up the location of it from any computer connected to the internet, i can add a lock to it, or remote wipe and that im sure would stop access to your credit card.
AND, even if they do use the phone for purchases id rather fight that with the credit card company than having to call numerous banks and risk identity theft by losing my wallet
Technology rules! This will be helpful.
And also.. If people jailbreak there phones or iPods and don't change their Root password.. Thats their own fault if they get hacked
bye bye human rights, we will have chips in our brain so we don't have to think for ourselves or have a difference of opinion with others or leaders of our countries, so we can all conform and all be like each other....
because thats what would happen, somebody (Government/ A big Corporation) would want control over the tech which means control over us, because essentially we have become the tech.
look at how Appl£ already dictate what you can and can't do with a device you paid a **** load of money for.
imho, credit/debit cards should stay separate from your phone, because sometimes you get your phone bill and you find you have to kick yourself for spending too much, so make your phone a credit card as well so we can get into more debt.
we already have so called 'wallet phones' in japan. we've had them the past couple of years...

PETER KER 6:26pm Africa shapes as the next generation of iron ore mines, says the International Finance Corporation.
BRIAN ROBINS To its critics it has confirmed their views - and to its investors it is all a monumental media beat-up.
PETER KER Santos says manufacturers can help avoid the looming gas crisis by investing in more supply
Amanda Saunders AngloAmerican chief Mark Cutifani says he expects metallurgical coal mines will be mothballed at a rate of one every two or three weeks until enough supply has fallen out of the beleaguered sector to drive a price recovery.
Angela Macdonald-Smith The New South Wales government says "nothing is off the table" in its desperate bid to stave off potential shortages in gas supplies.
Angela Macdonald-Smith Local oil and gas player AWE has claimed what may be Western Australia's largest onshore gas discovery since the 1960s.
Iron ore's slump to a five-year low won't prevent the world's two biggest miners, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, returning cash to investors via higher dividends and buybacks, a resources fund manager said.
Peter Ker and Brian Robins with Philip Wen, Beijing At a time when large parts of the industry are not making any money, coal producers may be faced with heavy additional costs to meet China's tougher environmental controls on coal imports.
Mark Mulligan and Stephen Cauchi The Reserve Bank of Australia has again expressed disquiet about the risks of an overheating housing market, putting it at odds with Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey, who on Tuesday again played down talk of a property bubble.
BRIAN ROBINS Last week it was iron ore. On Tuesday it was coal's turn, with the Chinese government tightening regulations that, while forcing out lower quality imports, will help to protect its domestic coal miners.
Tim Binsted Arrium may have to ask shareholders for more cash and consider closing or halting some of its steel and mining operations despite launching a $756 million equity-raising, analysts say.
BRIAN ROBINS A large portion of Australia's coal exports to China could be at risk from a Chinese government decision to block imports of lower-quality "dirty" coal from 2015.
China has banned the sale and import of coal with high ash or sulfur content in a move to promote cleaner coal and improve the nation's air quality.
PETER KER Fortescue Metals Group chief executive Nev Power has been granted an 11.1 per cent pay rise, as the iron ore miner moves to reward the man who has overseen its near tripling in export volumes.
Amanda Saunders Hancock Prospecting has granted an open-ended extension to its Galilee Basin partner, India's GVK, on the $US560 million owing on a deal struck three years ago, which underpins one of the country's biggest undeveloped coal projects.
ELIZABETH KNIGHT The $754 million equity raising by iron ore and steel group, Arrium is being hailed by some as prudent and by others as desperate. The truth lies somewhere in between. The reality is the company that has been carrying too much debt on its balance sheet really didn't have a choice.
Tim Binsted Arrium chief executive Andrew Roberts has defended the steel and mining group's decision to declare a dividend last month after a collapse in iron ore prices pushed Arrium into a $754 million capital raising to shore up its stretched balance sheet.
MISA HAN Iron ore isn't the only major Australian export item to have tumbled this year – coal has also been on a roller-coaster ride as Chinese demand decreases.
PETER KER Construction of the second stage of the Oyu Tolgoi mine is expected to start within six months.
BRIAN ROBINS Steel maker Arrium has taken a dim view of its near term prospects, turning to shareholders for $754 million via an onerous one-for-one share issue coupled with a large placement.
Nick McKenzie and Richard Baker Federal police probing alleged bribery by Leighton Holdings are finalising a brief of evidence to present to prosecutors.
MICHAEL WEST Notwithstanding the confected hysteria from the gas lobby over the impending "cliff" in gas supply, it is now clear that it is demand for gas that is dropping sharply, not supply.
PETER HANNAM The NSW Department of Planning is investigating the seemingly phantom appointment by Whitehaven Coal of an environmental group to a compulsory oversight committee for its $767 million Maules Creek open-cut coalmine.
David Stringer and Andre Janse van Vuuren BHP Billiton's spinoff of discarded assets is forecast to deliver investors a two-thirds uplift in earnings - a prospect that may also tempt predators.
MAX MASON Mining magnate Gina Rinehart is urging the Australian government to cut red tape as the mining sector grapples with iron ore prices plummeting to a five-year low.
China's national carbon market is likely to regulate 3-4 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2020 and be worth up to 400 billion yuan ($72 billion), a government official said on Thursday, which would make it twice as big as the EU market, currently the world's biggest.
Wendy Koch Politically "red" and "blue" US states are increasingly turning green as they push energy efficiency and renewable power to save money and protect the planet, says a report today with prominent bi-partisan support.
Sally Rose and Jonathan Shapiro The Australian arm of multinational mining giant Glencore surprised investors on Thursday by announcing a debut deal to tap the local debt capital market for about half a billion dollars.
Tess Ingram Roy Hill Holdings chief executive Barry Fitzgerald says the falling iron ore price isn't of concern to Gina Rinehart's $10 billion venture, but he has refused to reveal the break-even cost of the project.
James Chessell BHP Billiton chief executive Andrew Mackenzie is preparing a visit to the United Kingdom seeking to win over investors frustrated that the resources giant's $15 billion demerged company will not be listed in London.

- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Step 1
Whisk granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt in a medium pan. Whisk in milk and yolks. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and butter; whisk until melted.
Step 2
Pour pudding through a sieve into a heatproof bowl set in an ice-water bath. To prevent a skin from forming, press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until cold and set, about 40 minutes (up to 2 days).
Step 3
Whip cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Divide cold pudding among 4 bowls, and serve with whipped cream.

Other scenarios suggest $3.90 to cover construction, maintenance costs, or up to $9.10 to generate revenue.
Several bus lines will be cancelled or diverted in the centre of the city for the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal, and construction with two bridges will wreak havoc for drivers coming into the city on the weekend of Sept. 13-14. Here's what to expect:
Don't you hate when you're waiting in a backlog of cars at a red light, but no one is driving through the opposite green light? So does the city — and now, it can do something about it.
The next time you're stuck in traffic on a main street under construction, consider whether a committee of elected officials could have gotten you through faster. That's the belief of at least two city councillors: Benoit Dorais, the mayor of the Sud-Ouest borough, and Marvin Rotrand, the councillor for Snowdon.

I met Elzie Alexander on Skid Row today. He's been homeless for more 13 years but he's never given up on his dream of someday making it in the entertainment industry. Alexander has come up with what he calls an awesome invention called 'Pick a Joke'. It's audience interactive comedy. He gave me a short sample.
He stopped me and asked me please get his message to the public. I pulled out my iPhone and promised to put his video on YouTube and other social media. So here it is. What do you think?? Should he audition for America's Got Talent?

On the 5th February Jobshop UK hosted a Buy Dorset event at our lovely offices in the centre of Bournemouth. With delicious fish and chips provided by Storm Fish restaurant, it was great to see so many friendly faces turn up on such a cold evening.
Lucy York from Engage Executive Jobs gave a wonderful presentation about her trip along the Great Wall of China, all for a fantastic cause raising funds for Macmillan Cancer. As if that wasn't enough, she also announced plans to trek up Mount Kilimanjaro next year! It was incredibly motivating to hear Lucy's tale, I'm sure it's inspired one or two people to do something similar.
We're very pleased so many people turned up to do some networking, hopefully we'll see everyone again at future Buy Dorset events.

Phoenix: Mon. Aug. 18 - Natural Disasters: Why Do They Happen? Natural disasters have the capacity to take many lives, destroy property, and cause extreme suffering. No single events, other than wars, can cause so much destruction. Why do natural disasters occur? And, why would a loving God allow the pain, death and suffering associated with natural disasters? These are questions asked by Christians and skeptics alike. The answers are found in the Bible, particularly in the Book of Genesis. (Jim Clarke, BS, Geology, MS, Hydrological Engineering, AzOSA Resident Geologist)

|Workpackage 8 of the European Datagrid project was formed in January 2001 with representatives from the four LHC experiments, and with experiment independent people from five of the six main EDG partners. In September 2002 WP8 was strengthened by the addition of effort from BaBar and D0. The original mandate of WP8 was, following the definition of short- and long-term requirements, to port experiment software to the EDG middleware and testbed environment. A major additional activity has been testing the basic functionality and performance of this environment. This paper reviews experiences and evaluations in the areas of job submission, data management, mass storage handling, information systems and monitoring. It also comments on the problems of remote debugging, the portability of code, and scaling problems with increasing numbers of jobs, sites and nodes. Reference is made to the pioneeering work of Atlas and CMS in integrating the use of the EDG Testbed into their data challenges. A forward look is made to essential software developments within EDG and to the necessary cooperation between EDG and LCG for the LCG prototype due in mid 2003.

Synberc's goals are:
- to develop the foundational understanding and technologies to build biological components and assemble them into integrated systems to accomplish many particular tasks;
- to train a new cadre of engineers who will specialize in synthetic biology; and
- to engage the public about the benefits and risks of synthetic biology.
In essence, we want to make biology easier to engineer.
Just as electrical engineers have made it possible for us to assemble computers from standardized parts (hard drives, memory cards, motherboards, and so on), we envision a day when biological engineers will be able to assemble biological components such as sensors, signals, drug pathways, and logic gates easily and reliably in order to make sophisticated bio-based systems with no current solutions.
Synberc was founded in 2006 with support from the National Science Foundation. The core university partners are UC Berkeley, UC San Francisco, Stanford, Harvard and MIT. These universities are located in the two "biotech hubs" of Boston, MA and the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. Synberc PIs are the leaders of synthetic biology, and their labs attract the best and the brightest students in the field. Synberc also has a large number of industry partners; these relationships facilitate the technology transfer that will lead to the commercial use of Synberc's cutting-edge research results.
Synberc's headquarters are at UC Berkeley and co-located with the Joint BioEnergy Institute in Emeryville, CA.

It's hard enough for The X Factor judges to say goodbye to one of their contestants during an elimination show, but on Thursday night Demi Lovato was devastated when her two remaining team members – Ellona Santiago and Rion Paige – were eliminated.
"I'm actually pretty speechless and disappointed," said an upset Lovato after learning that Santiago, 17, would be the first contestant going home. "She could've won this competition."
Lovato wasn't the only one who was shaken by Santiago's elimination. Fellow judge Kelly Rowland looked surprised, with her eyes and mouth opening wide and her hand placed on her heart as she stared at Santiago in disbelief.
Host Mario Lopez's voice also softened as he said it was "a real shock here on the stage and in the audience."

The tears were flowing from the contestants and judges on Wednesday night's emotional The X Factor as the final six singers fought to make it into next week's semifinals.
For the first time this season, contestants performed two songs, one from a diva and one "unplugged," which is when the raw emotions began to surface.
The waterworks started after Simon Cowell's group Restless Road performed "Wake Me Up!" by Avicii. The trio began crying when Kelly Rowland told them "each one of you left your hearts" on the stage.

Simon Cowell can legally put a ring on it.
The X Factor judge's girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, finalized her divorce from Andrew Silverman in New York Civil Court on Wednesday, PEOPLE confirms.
Lauren reached an an amicable divorce settlement with her ex-husband in August, one month after news broke that she was expecting a child with Cowell.
She also has a 7-year-old son with her ex.

On Wednesday's episode of The X Factor, judges Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio all agreed that contestant Lillie McCloud's crowd-pleasing performance of "Summertime" was the best she'd ever done and gave the 54-year-old singer a standing ovation.
But the lone holdout – Simon Cowell – remained seated. "For me, it was just all a little bit too contained … too thought out," he complained. "It wasn't raw enough for me."
It seemed that viewers agreed with Cowell, as McCloud received the lowest number of votes and was the first act to leave the competition during Thursday's double elimination. And while host Mario Lopez noted there was "shock here in the audience," McCloud took the news well, expressing gratitude for the opportunity.

In The X Factor's pre-Thanksgiving episode Wednesday night, it was clear the female judges would have preferred that Simon Cowell sit at the children's table.
The most heated exchange took place following Lillie McCloud's soaring performance of "Summertime," which earned a standing ovation from all the judges except Cowell, who said it "wasn't raw enough."
"I just wish I had been mentoring you," he said. "I would have done so much better."

It was a British invasion on Wednesday's The X Factor, as the Top 10 took on songs from across the pond.
Jeff Gutt, 37, "rocked" this week, literally and critically, singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.
Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato were unanimous in their praise of the Over 25s singer, saying, "This is by far your best performance."

It sounds like Simon Cowell is undergoing some major changes in his personal life.
With a baby boy on the way at the end of February with girlfriend Lauren Silverman, the X Factor mentor, 54, is also preparing to pop the question.
"Simon has an engagement ring, but is being secretive about the proposal," a source tells PEOPLE. "Simon is flying to the Caribbean for the Christmas holiday. Lauren will join him for parts of the holiday trip. Simon could be planning a special holiday proposal. It seems he will definitely propose."

It was an emotional week on the set of The X Factor with three acts being sent home.
"We've grown so close to a lot of people in the competition and I didn't want to cry or have them be sad on stage," eliminated Sweet Suspense member Millie Thrasher, 14, told PEOPLE with tears rolling down her face after Thursday's elimination show. "We would have loved to have gone further but I'm proud of us for how far we went."
But Thrasher and her bandmates Celine Polenghi, 16, and Summer Reign, 17, were not alone in their sorrow Thursday night. Before the episode ended, country singer Rachel Potter, 29, was also sent packing after the mentors chose to send her home over the jazzy Khaya Cohen, 16.

On Wednesday's episode of The X Factor, judge Simon Cowell predicted that contestant Carlito Olivero would "go home" this week following his lackluster performance of "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You."
But on Thursday night, an annoyed Cowell rolled his eyes when it was revealed that not only was Olivero, 24, staying put this week, but that he was the first contestant to make it through to the top 10.
Adding insult to injury, the girl group Sweet Suspense – whose performance of the Tony Basil song "Mickey" left Cowell raving that they were "the best of the night" on Wednesday – was sent home in a shocking elimination that host Mario Lopez repeatedly described as "an unpopular decision."

What's that one book, movie or work of the human imagination that will make a thinking person think more deeply?
I still remember reading Philip Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy at the age of 10, Jack Whyte's "A Dream of Eagles" septology at age 16, "God's Debris" by Scott Adams at age 19 and Dostoevsky's "Notes from Underground" at age 20.
These works changed the way I looked at things, and there was simply no going back. They gave me the the opportunity to experience a vision of something awe-inspiring in scope for the first time, knowing that it was vastly larger than myself. I remember that magical feeling I experienced reading these works, and knowing that great things were in store for me just waiting to be discovered.
Very few things I've read or watched have been able to evoke that sense of wonder and amazement in me since. I'd like your help changing that.
I'm looking for suggestions of works - books, essays, movies, poems, art, speeches etc - that have helped you experience a similar sense of wonder and delight - the highest expressions of a thinking mind.
I'm open to anything: Works of human thought and reflection that are grand in scope and sweeping in their narrative. Nuggets of philosophical reflection, contemplation and spiritual rumination that have helped us understand ourselves and the (in)humanity of others with more clarity. Works that are cathartic, illuminating or inspiring. Really any product of the human mind that would make a thinking person think more deeply, cohesively and understand.
I'm hoping that together, we'll be able to create a new selection of curated works of the human imagination that others can bookmark, use and follow in turn.
I look forward to your suggestions. Thanks in advance for all your support.

Admissions to Treatment for Abuse of Alcohol Alone
In Brief
| In 1999, nearly three quarters
of a million admissions to publicly funded substance abuse treatment were
for abuse of alcohol. Many of these people entered treatment with secondary
illicit drug abuse in addition to primary alcohol abuse. However, more than
half of all alcohol admissions were for abuse of alcohol alone, with no
abuse of illicit drugs.
The Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) collects information on admissions to publicly funded substance abuse treatment. It permits analysis of the characteristics of persons treated for abuse of alcohol alone.
Abuse of alcohol alone was the most common substance problem for admissions
to substance abuse treatment between 1994 and 1999 (Table 1). However,
the number of alcohol-only treatment admissions declined by about 15 percent
during that time period–from 498,000 in 1994 to 417,000 in 1999. In 1994,
admissions for treatment of abuse of alcohol alone made up 31 percent
of all admissions to substance abuse treatment. By 1999, this had fallen
to 26 percent as admissions for abuse of illicit drugs increased.
Source: 1999 SAMHSA Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS).
Admissions for abuse of alcohol alone were generally for persons who were white (74 percent), male (77 percent), and whose average age at admission was 38 years.
The number of alcohol-only admissions among younger persons declined between 1994 and 1999 (Figure 1). In 1994, the number of alcohol-only admissions was highest among persons aged 25 to 34 and 35 to 44, and the numbers of admissions for these two age groups were similar. By 1999, however, the number of alcohol-only admissions among 25 to 34 year olds had declined sharply. The number of alcohol-only admissions among those under age 25 also decreased. In contrast, the numbers of admissions for the older age groups remained relatively constant between 1994 and 1999.
The sex distribution of alcohol-only admissions differed only slightly
within racial/ethnic groups (Figure 2). Men made up just over three quarters
of admissions among whites and blacks and 71 percent among American Indians/Alaska
Natives. Hispanics and Asians had slightly higher proportions of male
alcohol-only admissions (87 and 80 percent, respectively).
Source: 1999 SAMHSA Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS).
Treatment Referral Source
The criminal justice system was the most common source of referral to treatment, making up 45 percent of all 1999 alcohol-only admissions (Figure 3).
Among admissions under age 25, 67 percent entered treatment as the result of a judicial process. This proportion decreased with age—to 35 percent of those aged 45 or older. The proportion of self-referrals increased with age—from 14 percent of those under 25 to 30 percent of those in the older age groups. The proportion of admissions referred by substance abuse and other health care providers also increased with age—from 9 percent of those under 25 to 25 percent of those aged 45 or older.
Prior Treatment Episodes
Almost half (47 percent) of all 1999 alcohol-only admissions were entering treatment for the first time (Figure 4). However, one in five (21 percent) had been in treatment at least three times previously.
For the majority of admissions aged 25 or younger (71 percent), this was
the first treatment episode, while those from older age groups were more
likely to have been in treatment before. About 60 percent of those aged
35 or older had been in treatment previously, and more than one in four
had been in treatment at least three times before the current treatment
Source: 1999 SAMHSA Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS).
Age at First Intoxication
Use of alcohol among persons admitted to treatment in 1999 began early (data not shown). The average age at first intoxication was 16, well below the current legal drinking age of 21 years. About 80 percent of those treated for abuse of alcohol alone had first become intoxicated by age 18 and 87 percent by age 21.
Drug and Alcohol Services Information System (DASIS) is an integrated data
system maintained by the Office of Applied Studies, Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). One component of DASIS is
the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS), a national-level dataset comprising
State administrative data from treatment facilities receiving public funds.
The TEDS system includes records for some 1.6 million substance abuse treatment
admissions annually. TEDS records represent admissions rather than individuals,
as a person may be admitted to treatment more than once.
The DASIS Report is prepared by the Office of Applied Studies, SAMHSA; Synectics for Management Decisions, Inc., Arlington, Virginia; and RTI, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
Information and data for this issue are based on data reported to TEDS through April 16, 2001.

Submitted by Farshad Farzad - "On September 30th, 2009, I was no longer employed. I had made the decision to move to a new state to pursue a dream but most importantly my heart. Sometimes in life you have to sacrifice things, so you can gain others. In this instance, I sacrificed friends, work and comforts. However, I gain so much more in this move.
All along I have tried to stay positive and keep faith that things will work out. I told myself that things will only improve from here. For seven weeks I have struggled to find a new job. Outsiders pressured me to take jobs that I was just not comfortable taking. The old mantra, "it's a job just take it in this economy." I didn't want to take it. When you pick a mate or a school or a car you don't pick the 2nd or 3rd best just to have it, you always strive to do better. That's what I did. I waited and waited and waited.
Yet in my heart of hearts I just knew that my patience in the end would pay off. I kept the faith. Faith in myself and most importantly faith in my decision to move to my new state and hold strong. It hasn't been easy but I just kept chugging along. I knew in my heart and soul that this is where I had to be, where I needed to be and where I wanted to be.
After 7 long weeks my patience paid off. I found a job. It was not easy but having that faith that I would succeed carried me through the last 7 weeks. I am so grateful for the opportunities that have been created for me. Most importantly I am grateful for having the courage to remove myself from what is comfortable to pursue something I believed in.
Faith does not have to be in a higher being (it can be but not necessary). Faith is a powerful tool and it can certainly help you get through times of the unknown.

Karl Rove is feeling the heat.
The face of the historic $1 billion plan to unseat President Barack Obama and turn the Senate Republican, Rove now finds himself the leading scapegoat for its failure. And he's scrambling to protect his status as a top GOP money man by convincing disappointed donors to his Crossroads groups that he did the best he could with their $300 million.
Sources tell POLITICO that some donors have called Crossroads officials to ask how their polling could have been so far off, while others are openly grumbling that the groups should have spent more on the ground game. Rival operatives -- long frustrated by Rove's dominance of big GOP money -- are seizing on the discontent, questioning whether he's hurting the cause and privately urging donors to shut him out.
During a secret Thursday afternoon conference call with his benefactors, Rove laid out the analytics behind his assertions to donors that a massive late-game advertising push would expand the electoral map into Pennsylvania and deliver the White House and the Senate.
The call was civil, focusing on questions like, "'where was my strategy, was it right, was it wrong? What did we find out that we didn't know before?' That kind of thing -- nothing negative, no recriminations or blame," said Minnesota media mogul Stan Hubbard.
Donors "weren't saying anything like, 'Hey, you dumb son of a b----,'" added Hubbard, who has donated to both the Rove-conceived American Crossroads super PAC and its secret-money nonprofit affiliate Crossroads GPS. "It was all very businesslike. It was as if you were in a business conference and you were a retailer and 'why didn't this product sell better?'"
On the call, some donors even told Rove, "'I'm glad I gave to you. I feel we made progress,'" recalled Hubbard. "Every quarterback, every coach doesn't call every play 100 percent right," he added. "I don't know how you're going to blame him. What are you going to blame Karl for?"
Others in conservative politics have been less forgiving.
Richard Viguerie, a pioneering direct-mail consultant, called for Republicans to purge from their ranks Rove and Ed Gillespie -- who helped found Crossroads and later moved over to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign -- as well as Romney advisers Stuart Stevens and Neil Newhouse. "In any logical universe," he argued, "no one would give a dime to their ineffective super PACs, such as American Crossroads."
Rick Tyler, a former strategist for the pro-Newt Gingrich super PAC and a top adviser to Todd Akin's Missouri Senate campaign, called Crossroads' efforts "a colossal failure," and asserted, "Rove has too much control over the purse strings."
Rove "has a lot of explaining to do, mostly to his donors. I don't think donors are ever going to invest in that level again because it turns out that the architect didn't know what he was talking about," Tyler told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Rove didn't comment for this story, but Crossroads spokesman Jonathan Collegio attributed the mounting conservative grumbling to jealousy, and said the political world hasn't heard the last of Rove or Crossroads.
"A lot of folks with very old axes to grind have hidden behind blind quotes to take cheap shots against Karl in the last few days," Collegio told POLITICO in an email laying out main argument made by Rove and Crossroads -- that things would have been a lot worse for Republicans without its ads.
"We're dusting ourselves off, analyzing the data to figure out what went wrong and charting a path forward," he added. "As we've always said, Crossroads is a permanent entity and will be back in 2014 and beyond -- with Karl Rove continuing in his role as adviser, providing invaluable strategic vision and fundraising capability."
Rove, meanwhile, has used his platforms in the conservative media to try to reshape the narrative over the GOP losses in most of the races where Crossroads played, including an admittedly "awkward" election night incident on Fox News when the network where he works as a political analyst-- correctly -- called Ohio for Obama.
In his Wall Street Journal column the next day, he blamed Obama's win on an "anonymous New York Times headline writer," a "hotel employee with a cell phone camera" who recorded damaging video of Romney criticizing American voters, and Hurricane Sandy, among other factors. And on Thursday, Rove told Fox News that Obama won by "suppressing the vote."
Democrats, meanwhile, enjoyed seeing one of their most-feared antagonists on the hot seat. Obama adviser David Axelrod said donors should ask for their money back. "If I were one of those billionaires, ... I'd be wanting to talk to someone and asking where my refund is, because they didn't get much for their money," Axelrod told reporters Thursday.
In fact, donors are starting to question the fundamental strategy of Crossroads and other groups that spent primarily on advertising, said Drew Ryun, who helped start or run two groups -- the Madison Project and American Majority Action -- that focused almost exclusively on ground organizing.
"In that reassessment, folks like Karl Rove and Carl Forti are going to take a beating," Ryun said, referring to Crossroads' political director Forti, a Rove protege. "If Rove is not done, he is dangerously close to it."
Asked about how the results reflect on Rove's strategy, Wyoming mega-donor Foster Friess, who says he donated to Crossroads GPS, said he was planning to shift his cash from television ads to grass-roots organizing. "I'm not a big fan of TV ads -- they're just too quick. They are sound bites."
Rove still has plenty of defenders in the GOP establishment and its mega-donor base.
"Anybody who says that Karl Rove is somehow diminished or marginalized is not thinking clearly. He is a well-regarded, well respected organizer and analyst and he will continue to be so," former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty told POLITICO.
Frank VanderSloot, another Crossroads GPS donor, said "I felt like Karl Rove played it straight. He was with us. I thought he had good analytics. He's never prophesied anything, he'd just say he's what the numbers indicate and he would say things that would help you understand a little bit more where things are."
He called Rove "open, upfront. And he's a hardworking son of a gun. I'm really impressed with his analytical skills and how he looks at things, and it had not occurred to me that he would come out diminished."
Rove, who rose to national prominence as the architect of George W. Bush's presidential campaigns, has been counted out before, retreating from the political scene under the clouds of scandals related to the firing of U.S. attorneys and the leaking of the identity of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame. But after a series of 2010 federal court decisions cleared the way for unlimited money in politics, he reemerged at the helm of a network of outside groups that formed a sort of shadow Republican party.
The current round of bashing carries serious risks for Rove because it threatens his greatest assets -- his relationship with big donors and his reputation as a master of political data who is on the cutting edge when it comes to the most effective tactics.
Yet, of the $204 million in so-called independent expenditures reported by American Crossroads, Crossroads GPS and a related super PAC called Crossroads Generation, $190 million went toward television or radio ads backing Romney and GOP congressional candidates. Only $11 million went toward Web advertising, according to a POLITICO analysis of Federal Election Commission data.
Of the 31 races in which the groups aired ads, the Republican won only nine. And, since the groups spent $137 million on the presidential race, less than 5.7 percent of their total spending went toward helping winning candidates, according to a POLITICO analysis.
Rove's prediction in the presidential race -- first levied in a data-dense Wall Street Journal column last month -- was that Romney would win the popular vote by a margin of 51 percent to 48 percent, and would carry at least 279 Electoral College votes -- "probably more."
"It comes down to numbers," he wrote. "And in the final days of this presidential race, from polling data to early voting, they favor Mitt Romney."
An hour after most media outlets called the race for Obama, Rove was asked on Fox News about the impact of all the spending.
"We spent billions of dollars," Fox host Chris Wallace said. "Crossroads, which you helped found, spent -- what? -- $325 million, and we've ended up with the same president, the same Democratic majority in the Senate and the same Republican majority in the House. Was it worth it?" Wallace wondered.
"Yeah," responded Rove. "Look, if groups like Crossroads were not active, this race would have been over a long time ago."

A.Contributing editor Michael Byrne, a tile setter and consultant in Los Olivos, Calif., responds: I started using sheet-membrane materials in the early 1970s and was an early adopter when NobleSeal TS came on the market. Today, I still use TS, but I use liquid — or trowel-applied — membranes as well. And by the way, liquid-applied membranes are not exactly new — their use by first-century Roman tile installers is well documented.
Since I tend to upgrade from the tile industry's minimum standards, I generally use liquid systems designed for continuous immersion — rather than value-engineered materials that offer only limited water-shedding protection. When I have a choice, I prefer to use Bonsal's B-6000 and its companion reinforcing fabric for waterproofing. I also use Custom's 9240 system. These materials have an important property in common: When properly applied and cured, they will not re-emulsify if exposed to moisture.
Do liquid-applied systems work as well as sheet membranes? It depends. The most critical factor — aside from the tested performance and suitability of a particular product — is how carefully the system was installed. In my consulting work, I have seen many examples of mediocre systems that have provided long service because the installer followed all the rules, and in some cases applied a third or fourth layer of liquid instead of the minimum one or two. I have also inspected installations where top-of-the line CPE sheet materials failed because the installer did not follow the manufacturer's directions. And I've inspected liquid systems that were applied properly but nevertheless failed because the system was not rated for the application.
With so many different waterproofing and crack-isolation membrane systems to choose from, a designer or installer needs to have a firm understanding of an installation's intended use and select the most appropriate level of protection. While some of the components may appear similar, performance levels of all tile membrane systems are definitely not the same. All brands have unique application and installation requirements and limitations, and they all have unique viscosities: Some are thin enough to shoot with an airless sprayer, some are gels that can be spread with a brush or roller or notched trowel, while others are site-mixed pastes so thick and viscous they can only be spread with a notched trowel.
Regardless of which membrane I choose, I always try to use thinset and grout from the same manufacturer. Because I install tile in many different applications, I've learned the skills required to install any type of waterproofing system. Equally important, I insist on treating surface prep and the installation of waterproofing, crack isolation, and sound reduction membranes as costs separate from that of tile installation.

Jim Steinmeyer
Adult Nonfiction GV1545.S56 S74 2005
Summary: In a biography woven from equal parts enchantment and mystery, Jim Steinmeyer unveils the secrets behind the most enigmatic performer in the history of stage magic, Chung Ling Soo, the "Marvelous Chinese Conjurer"-a magician whose daring made his contemporary Houdini seem like the boy next door. Soo's infamous and suspicious onstage death in 1918 mystified his fellow magicians: he was shot during a performance of "Defying the Bullets," in which he attempted to catch marked bullets on a porcelain plate. When Soo died, his deceptions began to unravel. It was discovered that he was not Chinese but a fifty-eight-year-old American named William Ellsworth Robinson, a former magicians' assistant and the husband of Olive Robinson. But even William Robinson was not who he appeared to be, for he had kept a second family with a mistress in a fashionable home near London. Here is a look at the rough-and-tumble world of turn-of-the-century entertainments, the West's discovery of Oriental culture, and Soo's strange descent into secrecy as he rose to stardom-written by the foremost chronicler of magic's history and culture. Due to the scandals surrounding Robinson's death, this is the first time his full story has ever been told. Photographs are included.

Aug 10 2012: I like Jan-Bernd Pauli's micro credits for startups in economically underdeveloped countries, which allows people to help themselves.
Looking at the numbers of people in third world countries one easily realises the need for more money to support more start-ups or humanitarian projects. :)
Looking at the current financial system in probably all western countries you realise that all it takes
to have more money to spread out is creating a real bank using the 1 million as initial reserve.
After founding a real bank you are allowed to create more money out of nothing by giving out loans of up to 10 times more money than used to found it which is called fractional reserve banking.
Giving that we are not aiming for profit like all the other commercial banks and we do not use any money taken from a central bank at any interest rate > 0, we are not forced to charged intrest as we use our own 1 million, so there is nothing that stops us from lending about 10x our money without charging intrest.
I also like the implementation of the suggested 'instead rates', an obligation to grant at least one micro credit themselves under the same conditions to help others when the start-up business reached a stable financial situation.
Aug 10 2012: I find that most occidental approaches to solve problems is money. This might be true in already developed countries (even if i doubt it), but we cannot simply duplicate our cultural ways of doing to all.
Even if micro-credit is a proven venture (mainly when given to women, such in Africa), I think it can also be dangerous to always come back to micro-credit as THE solution when it comes to more global approach. Allowme explain my thoughts:
Firstly, credit is prohibited by a lot of cultures-religions such as Muslim, the biggest population on earth. So right there, micro-credit is a discriminative approach.
Secondly, in most of this civilizations the individuals that have access to foreign influence (credit, money, etc) are casts that already have the dominance in their community (and not always in a positive way). Access to money has also proven to create more problems then solutions (think Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.)
Thirdly, but not the least, money (or credit) doesn't do much without knowledge. In the human world we live in, we now know that well intended people are often taken advantage of by more egoist-driven influences with another objective: money.
So I think money is not the forefront tool to all global problems, human knowledge is...
Aug 11 2012: Knowledge transfer (in both / all directions) is most important,
but I believe that many people here assume and know this has to happen
and participate in the exchange of knowledge without thinking much about it...
Micro-credit is seen as an effective solution because it is part of the philosphy to
help people help thenselves. This help always includes some form of knowledge.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
We know from Prof Herzberg that the motivation to help oneself
(a result of training which created an ability) is not enough,
but people also require the opportunity to act upon their ability (to fish).
Here starts the impact of mirco finance as these loans avoid the trap
of perpetually rising debt by not charging any intrest.
I can imagine that the unfounded accumulation of wealth by creditors led to
the prohibition of conventional credit in some of those cultures/religions
which were/are more future-oriented...
