Tony Stark: The Ultimate Gamer
So I finally got around to seeing Iron Man 2 last night. Yeah I know, I'm late to the party and the world has already moved on. But one thing struck me as I watched the latter half of the movie. Gaming culture is becoming ubiquitous. Take a look at this exchange between Iron Man and War Machine *minor spoilers ahead*:
Iron Man: "They're coming in hot. Any second, what's the play?"
War Machine: "Well we'll want to take the high ground, ok? So we want to put the biggest gun on that ridge."
[They both start walking to the ridge]
IM: "Where are you going? You have a big gun, but you are not 'the big gun'"
MW: "Tony don't be jealous...it's called being a badass"
IM: "Ok you go up top, I'll draw them in here"
WM: "Don't stay down here, this is the worst place to be. This is the kill box, this is where you go to die."
Now, if that isn't an exact, word for word imitation of two gamers setting up their positions in a map of Modern Warfare 2, I don't know what is.
Tony and Rhodey prepare for the next Zerg rush.
The reason the dialogue works so well is because the gaming generation (Iron Man 2's target demographic) can instantly relate to this scenario. An enemy you know is coming. Terrain you are familiar with because you've played the map a dozen times. Instant comradery with fellow players such that lingo and shorthand are easily understood. Even the flippant calm of knowing that, despite the graphic and violent images you are about to witness, it's all just a game so there's no need for panic or a fear of death.
Tony and Rhodey aren't even considering the real possibility of death because it's just a movie, just a game. It makes the movie that much more fun to watch of us gamers, and it's just another notch in the belt of making gaming a truly mainstream art form/hobby.

Court documents released Tuesday show the investigative tools that detectives used to arrest a man suspected of killing two women.
Two witnesses provided clues that helped lead to the arrest of Derek Richardson, 27. After the arrest, police spent Tuesday searching the home of Richardson's in-laws at North Skiles Avenue and 108th Street in the Northland.
Richardson, who is married and has two young children, was arraigned Tuesday afternoon. A judge entered a not guilty plea for him, which is standard during a first court appearance.
Police say Richardson targeted 23-year-old Nicoleone Reed last year, and 40-year-old Tamara Sparks back in 2011, because they were prostitutes. Prosecutors say that he confessed to strangling both women, dumping their bodies, and covering them with bleach in an effort to destroy evidence.
Sparks' sister, Dawn Branstietter, said she knows this is a tough time for Richardson's wife and family.
"My heart goes out to his family," she said. "They have to be suffering just as much as we are."
When police announced that they were seeking a potential serial killer, detectives said the killer had left a distinctive canvas-style Croc shoe by Sparks' body.
A week after the news conference, a man contacted police, saying that Richardson confessed to killing a prostitute late last year, according to court records. Richardson allegedly admitted to choking Sparks to death during a sex act inside his home, according to court records.
"The witness stated Richardson was infatuated with serial killers (and) told him several times that he was a killer," according to court documents.
A woman told police that Richardson had talked to her about serial killers and that he had sexually assaulted and killed women, according to court documents. The woman said Richardson "was smiling as he was telling her about being a serial killer."
The woman said Richardson wore a size 11 shoe and owned a similar moccasin-style shoe like the one found.
Witness No. 2 stated Richardson had told her that he had lost the Croc shoes after a float trip approximately two years ago," according to court records. "Witness No. 2 voluntarily gave a sample of her DNA, which was compared to the unknown female DNA recovered from the interior of the Croc shoe."
Police on Friday learned that the woman's DNA matched the DNA found on the interior of the shoe. Richardson was arrested about 10:30 a.m. Saturday during a traffic stop.
That woman was "quite familiar with Richardson," according to prosecutors. Authorities have not said whether the witness was a family member or not.
Court documents revealed DNA from the same male assailant was recovered from both crime scenes, but police have not said whether it was Richardson's DNA. He allegedly confessed to the crimes "in great detail," according to court records.
Branstietter said the family is relieved an arrest has been made, but they still miss Sparks very much.
"No matter what her lifestyle was, she's still human. And she still had family that loved her and her children who needed her," he said.
Clay County Prosecutor Dan White filed first-degree murder charges, which carries a maximum penalty of life without parole. White has not filed capital murder charges, which are eligible for the death penalty.
He remains jailed on a $2 million bond.

The wheels keep spinning in one of the most acclaimed racing simulation games available. Forza 4 increases the immersion with compatibility with the Kinect motion control camera.Through the power of Kinect, players will be able to step through the TV screen and jump into the driver's seat while the engaging controller-based experience will let you take on the bone-jarring physics, unparalleled levels of customization, and rosters of dream cars and tracks. Offering gameplay that will electrify racing fans and excite car lovers and novices alike, the popular racing franchise returns.
Players are able to import their Forza Motorsport 3 profiles into Forza Motorsport 4, giving them the ability to transfer a certain amount of in-game credits and gifted cars into their new garage. The amount allowed transferred is based on how long they have played the game and how many cars and credits they have.A video demo of the game showed that the player was able to look into a corner using a new head tracking feature, allowing them to look toward the apex of a corner or at nearby cars. Another new feature called Autovista allowed the player to walk around and explore inside their vehicle using Kinect. The player could point at certain features, such as headlights, wheels and the engine, for further information about them. The Autovista feature is not limited to Kinect users only, and is useable by a regular Xbox 360 controller. When using Kinect, the game will automatically accelerate and decelerate your vehicle, a feature known as "auto brake" in Forza 3, and the steering would be done by either a controller or by movement of the players hands. Whilst the game supports head tracking, players can use a controller and Kinect at the same time. Steering will be done by the controller and the Kinect picks up head movement. Kinect will also allow the player to use audio commands to start races and navigate menus.Players have the option to create car clubs and share cars in their garages within that club. In a departure from previous iterations of the series with a maximum of eight cars on track, the game supports 16 player racing, both online and offline. Three additional real world race tracks new to the Forzafranchise, Hockenheimring, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Infineon Raceway are also available. As well, a new fantasy track known as "Bernese Alps" is also available.
The Forza Motor sport 4 Limited Collectors Edition gives fans seeking the ultimate day?one experience, featuring an additional 25 cars from exclusive car packs and bonus car offers. Bundled together with a polished Steel book? DVD Case, the Limited Collector?s Edition content includes the following:A 10-car add-on pack of American muscle cars (also available for purchase at launch on Xbox LIVE Marketplace). VIP Membership status within the Forza community, including special recognition in new community features, leaderboards, ForzaMotorsport.net and more.?Cars of Forza Motorsport 4 Presented by Top Gear,? written by the ?Top Gear? team, is a stunning 96-page book that describes in-game cars from the Autovista experience and features imagery from game and the Top Gear photo library.

The march ended on Cedar Street in the heart of Yale Medical School. There, Kate Irving, GESO chairperson and graduate teacher in the History of Science and History of Medicine told the crowd, "for twenty years, graduate teachers and researchers have asked Yale for a simple thing: when we say we want a Union, listen to us and respect our choice." Irving continued, "We need organizing rights to give us a seat at the table. We stand with community members and Locals 34 and 35 in your mission for great contracts and real solutions to unemployment in this city, and we look forward to winning a great contract for ourselves."
Irving joined other speakers–including workers from UNITE HERE Local 34, Local 35, and Local 217, Yale undergraduates, and non-union city residents—in articulating a bold vision for building Union and community power to create good jobs and a stronger New Haven. Click the video below to view more photos of the "Let's Get to Work" march and rally.
We have had an exciting semester with a lot of changes, and the Membership Meeting will give us an opportunity to regroup and reflect as well as to look forward to what our agenda might be this spring. The fall Membership Meeting is also the time to elect officers of the union: you will have the opportunity to vote on the Chair, Co-chair, and Secretary-Treasurer positions of the union, as well as members of the Steering Committee. See you there!!]]>
Speakers included Chris Garaffa from Occupy New Haven, LaToya Agnew of the New Elm City Dream, and Tyisha Walker, a Cook's Helper in Commons Dining Hall who is the Secretary-Treasurer of Local 35. A video commemorated struggles for social and economic justice in New Haven and elsewhere.
The New Haven Independent published a long story online with a number of great photos, New Haven Register posted a great story with video, and local news Channel 8 also covered the story.]]>
GESO is the union for graduate employees at Yale University. For the past 20 years, GESO has been a vital and vibrant part of the graduate experience at Yale, a powerful force for democracy on campus and in New Haven, and a leader in the national movement of academic workers. We seek to make Yale a diverse and accessible place of higher learning, a responsible employer and a good neighbor. By building consensus and mobilizing, we have won increased pay, free individual and family healthcare, medical and parental leave. We have also fought for equal rights for all graduate employees through campaigns for visa reform, funding security, and increased recruitment and retention of graduate employees and faculty of color. Working with allies in the university and the community, we have challenged Yale to increase its accountability to the residents of New Haven and to invest its endowment more ethically.
Most recently, GESO members have rallied to protest against budget cuts and corporate influence in administrative decision-making, and joined together with other union and community allies to stand up for rights of working people across New Haven. Last February, hundreds of GESO members and supporters came together to launch a report entitled "Yale Inc: The Corporate Model in Higher Education." The report highlighted the ways in which accelerated centralization of power, efficiency measures and aggressive cost-cutting are transforming graduate teaching and research at Yale. On March 30, we joined with our partner unions Locals 34 and 35 of Unite Here at Yale, and with allies in the local community, in New Haven's contribution to the nationwide "We Are One" movement, aimed at responding to the attacks on workers' rights in Wisconsin. As the semester came to a close, GESO presented to key Yale administrators a petition signed by almost 700 graduate teachers demanding a voice in proposed changes to the structure of our academic departments and programs. This summer, GESO members have been working with our community allies to help elect grassroots-backed independent candidates to city government.
Although we are very proud of our history, we believe that achieving a recognized institutional voice at Yale is necessary to consolidate the many improvements we have made for our lives and in our community. We are expecting an important milestone in the next few weeks, as the National Labor Relations Board prepares to reconsider whether the organizing rights of graduate teachers at private universities are protected under the National Labor Relations Act.
We invite you to learn more, get involved and join GESO in our continued work to make Yale and New Haven a better and fairer place to work and study by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Stephanie Greenlea, Sociology & African American Studies, GESO Chair
Robin Scheffler, History of Science & History of Medicine, GESO Co-chair
NYU teaching and research assistants were the first such employees at a private university to win union recognition and bargain a contract in 2001. After the Bush-appointed NLRB ruled in 2004 that grads are not employees, NYU refused to bargain a second contract with the union, GSOC/UAW, in 2005, leading to a protracted strike by graduate assistants.
"This [regional board] decision clearly recognizes that we are employees, who work for and receive compensation from NYU," says Jan Padios, a teaching assistant in NYU's Department of Social and Cultural Analysis. "Now we're going to take this case to the NLRB in Washington DC and claim our rights as workers." Read more about the NYU case here.
GESO members are excited at the prospect that the new labor board may recognize their long-denied organizing rights. "Winning back the protection of federal labor law is an important step toward graduate teachers and researchers being able to win a union at Yale, and toward academic workers having a say in the university," says Stephanie Greenlea, GESO Chairperson.]]>

2012 Annual Fire Safety Report
The San Jacinto College Police Department is responsible for the Annual Fire Safety Report. The following San Jacinto College Annual Fire Report discloses all information required by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA)\Clery Act as it relates to any on-campus student housing fire\fire alarm statistical information for the year of 2011.
The Annual Fire Safety Report can be found at the San Jacinto College Police Department, located at 8060 Spencer Highway, Pasadena Texas 77505, or on its website, http://www.sanjac.edu/police, or by calling (281) 476-1820.
Higher Education Opportunity Act Annual Fire Safety Report
The Clery Act and its accompanying regulations have established new requirements for colleges in the area of fire safety and reporting. All Title IV eligible institutions that participate in Title IV programs and maintain on-campus student housing facilities are required to publish an annual fire safety report that outlines the fires safety systems, policies, practices, and statistics of the college as follows:
- Colleges must report only those fires that occur within an on-campus student housing facility.
- Colleges may not simply report all fires that occur anywhere on campus.
- Colleges must report on the number of fires (if any) that occur in the on-campus student housing facility, the number of injuries and deaths from such fires (including someone who dies within a year from injuries sustained in a campus fire), and the value of fire-related property damage.
- Department of Education (DOE) regulations and commentary indicate that both the Clery Annual Safety Report (ASR) and the Annual Fire Report can be distributed to the campus community in a single document, or in separate documents. If reported separately each report must contain information on how to directly access the other.
The Campus Security Act - Legal Requirements
New regulations in the Clery Act states that beginning Oct. 1, 2010, an institution that maintains any on-campus student housing facility must prepare an annual fire safety report that contains, at a minimum, the following information:
Fire statistics for each on-campus student housing facility, for the three most recent calendar years for which data are available.
- A description of each on-campus student housing facility fire safety system.
- The number of fire drills held during the previous calendar year.
- Institution's policy on portable electrical appliances, smoking, & open flames in a student housing facility.
- The institution's procedures for student housing evacuation in the case of a fire.
- The policies regarding fire safety education and training programs provided to the students and employees. In these policies, the institution must describe the procedures that students and employees should follow in the case of a fire.
- For purposes of including a fire in the statistics in the annual fire safety report, a list of the titles of each person or organization to which students and employees should report that a fire occurred.
- Plans for future improvements in fire safety, if determined necessary by the institution.
- Maintain a written, easily understood fire log that records, by the date that the fire was reported, any fire that occurred in an on-campus student housing facility. This log must include the nature, date, time, and general location of each fire.
San Jacinto College maintains a fire log. The Fire Log table below (Figure-1) is designed to contain a compilation of actual fire/fire alarm statistics for each calendar year (should any exist) for San Jacinto College on-campus student housing. The Fire Log table is designed to include statistics outlining the number of actual fires and the cause of each actual fire, the number of injuries and deaths related to actual fires and the value of property damage related to actual fires for San Jacinto college on-campus student housing (should any exist).
For a fire to be reportable, per the Higher Education Opportunity Act\Clery Act, it must be an actual fire, and it must meet the federal definition of a fire. The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) regulations define fire as "any instance of open flame or other burning in a place not intended to contain the burning or in an uncontrolled manner."
San Jacinto College has a total of one (1) on-campus student housing facility located at 8060 Spencer Highway, Pasadena, Texas 77505:
Athletic Housing – the on-campus student housing facility is equipped with an automatic alarm system, strobe lights, and heat and\or smoke detectors. The San Jacinto College on-campus student housing facility fire alarm system is in compliance with the current regulatory requirements. The San Jacinto College on-campus student housing facility is equipped with two fire extinguishers and two fire alarms located in the common areas. All fire extinguishers are inspected on an annual basis by a certified contractor.

For the years 2010 and 2011, San Jacinto College did not conduct a mandatory supervised fire drill in its on-campus student housing facility, but there will be a mandatory fire drill conducted in 2012, which will ensure that new employees and students are familiar with the fire safety policies of the College.
When the San Jacinto College on-campus athletic housing facility fire alarms are activated, the residents are to exit the nearest exit, and assemble away from the building in alarm, upwind of any fire and away from any emergency crews, to pre-determined assembly areas. Assembly areas are subject to change, however, depending on the circumstances related to the fire. San Jacinto College on-campus athletic housing facility residents are required to immediately evacuate the student housing facility that is in alarm.
- Keep aisles and corridors clear to permit evacuation.
- Do not use elevators in case of fire. Evacuate via the stairs or assigned evacuation routes.
- Do not store items in exit corridors.
The following instructions are meant to be followed in the event a San Jacinto College on-campus housing facility resident(s) discovers a fire:
- If a fire is noticed, leave the hazard area. Do not risk your life by remaining in the unsafe building.
- Only use a portable fire extinguisher to control a small fire or assist yourself or someone else to evacuate the area. Do not risk your life by remaining in the unsafe building.
- Remember, not all fire extinguishers are effective on all types of fires; so do not try to extinguish the fire unless you have been properly trained. Do not risk your life by remaining in the unsafe building.
- Do not fight the fire if it is already beginning to spread beyond the location where it started – you should not attempt to extinguish a fire with your back to an exit, or if a fire can block your only exit. Do not risk your life by remaining in the unsafe building.
- On the way out of the building, pull a fire alarm system pull station (if one is easily located, and does not place you in danger). It may be necessary to break the glass or raise the pull station cover in order to pull the alarm. Do not risk a life by remaining in the unsafe building.
- When an alarm sounds, occupants of the building are notified of a fire hazard and should evacuate the building. Do not risk a life by remaining in the unsafe building.
San Jacinto College on-campus student housing supervised fire drills are evaluated using the following criteria:
- Was the total time to respond to the alarm and to exit building done so in a timely manner?
- Did police/fire departments arrive in a timely manner?
- Did all persons exit in a safe and orderly fashion?
- Did all persons assemble at the designated evacuation area away from the building?
- Were interior doors and exit doors properly shut?
- Did all alarms and emergency lights work properly?
If you discover a fire, activate the building evacuation fire alarm and call 911 to reach the Pasadena Fire Department, and the Pasadena Police Dispatch center is (713) 477-1221.
All students housed in a San Jacinto College residence facility, upon hearing the evacuation alarm, should proceed to the nearest exit and leave the building. If the exit is blocked, tenants may use the outside window ledges. Fire extinguishers and hoses are located in hallways for protection of your life and property. Flammable liquids, such as gasoline and hazardous materials and items, are not to be brought into the rooms and apartments. Candles, incense, toaster ovens, hot plates, crock pots, space heaters and other open element\open flame\coil appliances are strictly prohibited.
One of each of the following are the only electrical appliances allowed in your room: radio, small stereo, television, computer, hand-held hair dryer, clock, and microwave oven. Wires should not be placed across floors or in front of entrances. The use of multiple electrical adapters, extension cords and overloading of circuits is prohibited. Power strips, limited to one per electrical outlet, are acceptable but are not to be plugged into each other. Air conditioner vents should not be blocked. Hallways, stairwells, laundry rooms and exits are to be kept clear of items at all times. Tampering with fire equipment is prohibited.
Tenants shall not disconnect or intentionally damage-a smoke detector or remove the battery from a smoke detector without immediately replacing it with a working battery. Students who violate San Jacinto College housing policies and procedures will be reported to the Dean of Students.
In accordance with San Jacinto College's smoke free policy, for health and safety reasons, smoking is prohibited in all San Jacinto College buildings. San Jacinto College is a smoke free campus. The San Jacinto College non-smoking policy is communicated and enforced throughout all buildings.

Literal (computer programming)
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
In computer science, a literal is a notation for representing a fixed value in source code. Almost all programming languages have notations for atomic values such as integers, floating-point numbers, and strings, and usually for booleans and characters; some also have notations for elements of enumerated types and compound values such as arrays, records, and objects. An anonymous function is a literal for the function type.
In contrast to literals, variables or constants are symbols that can take on one of a class of fixed values, the constant being constrained not to change. Literals are often used to initialize variables, for example, in the following, 1 is an integer literal and the three letter string in "cat" is a string literal:
int a = 1; String s = "cat";
In lexical analysis, literals of a given type are generally a token type, with a grammar rule, like "a string of digits" for an integer literal. Some literals are specific keywords, like
true for the boolean literal "true".
In some object-oriented languages (like ECMAScript), objects can also be represented by literals. Methods of this object can be specified in the object literal using function literals. The brace notation below, which is also used for array literals, is typical for object literals:
{"cat","dog"} {name:"cat",length:57}
Literals of objects[edit]
In ECMAScript (as well as its derivatives JavaScript and ActionScript), an object with methods can be written using the object literal like this:
var newobj = { var1: true, var2: "very interesting", method1: function () { alert(this.var1) }, method2: function () { alert(this.var2) } }; newobj.method1(); newobj.method2();
To briefly state the difference from normal class definition syntax, the keyword "class" is absent and the semicolon is replaced by the comma.
These object literals are similar to anonymous classes in other languages like Java.

I am led to understand that there was some kind of sporting event on Sunday. As our brave New England lads were not involved, I foreswore it (except for watching the commercials on Hulu, of course …) But now that the nacho-and-beer-induced stupor that many of you seem to have been suffering from has worn off, let's see what happened around the industry last week.
The 49th caller wins tickets to Google I/O
If you had your heart set on a trip to the beautiful George Moscone center for Google's annual developer love-fest, you needed to have fast fingers this year. The general registration signup opened and closed again in under an hour, after the website took a beating usually reserved for iPhone reservations.
Your weekly Oracle news
Proving once again that Oracle totally fails to understand the open source community, there's now a major todo brewing around the continuous integration project formerly known as Hudson. The basic timeline appears to be as follows:
- Oracle takes down the source repositories for more than a week to do infrastructure changes, without warning the developer community.
- The founder and chief committer created a GitHub project so that work could be done while Oracle got their act together.
- Oracle got snotty and said that the GitHub project couldn't be called Hudson because Oracle owned the trademark.
- The developer community said "Fine, we'll change the name to Jenkins."
- Oracle said "You can call it whatever you want, but it'll be a fork."
- Hilarious hijinks ensue!
Keyboards for real programmers
After last week's (DMCA'd) peek at the Internet, circa 1994, here's another blast from the past: a collection of keyboard photos from the early LISP machines! These keyboards had a set of modifier keys yet to be surpassed in the world of programming, sporting not only a control and alt (meta) key, but also a hyper and super key. All of them could be chorded, leading to such memorable key presses as "control-meta-hyper-yu shiang whole fish."
Regrettably, the page fails to display any keyboards from LISP Machine, Inc, which was my first corporate employer (after a six-month-stint working at the MIT AI Lab.) However, if you look at the photo, you can see what was the bane of my existence when I did field service calls for LMI, the notorious A=M ECO (Engineering Change Order). There's a series of white wires running down the center of the front wire-wrap panel. They are twisted-pair with one wire grounded on either side, and were put in because the original single-wire runs were sensitive to induced current from wires they crossed. There were 32 of them, they needed to be unwrapped on both ends from the pins, teased out with dental tools, and then the twisted pair wires added in place of them. It took hours, and woe to you if you broke another wire while removing the target ones. But tell that to the kids today …
You young whippersnappers come back next week, and Uncle James will tell you more tales of computers new and old. Until then, get off my lawn! Suggestions are always welcome, so please send tips or news here.

MS. IFILL: The incredible shrinking presidential campaign. Is it always this messy or is it just August, tonight on "Washington Week."
Nice words on the stump.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: It is a choice between two fundamentally different visions about how we move this country forward.
FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY (R) [Presumptive GOP Presidential Nominee]: I happen to believe that we're on the verge of an extraordinary rebound in America's economy with good jobs and rising incomes again.
MS. IFILL: Down and dirty on the air.
JOE SOPTIC [Former GST Steel Employee]: She passed away in 22 days. I do not think Mitt Romney realizes what he's done to anyone. And, furthermore, I do not think Mitt Romney is concerned.
MAN [Narrator]: Under Obama's plan, you wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train for a job. They'd just send you your welfare check.
MS. IFILL: Drilling down with Mitt Romney accusing the president of encouraging dependency.
MR. ROMNEY: President Obama in just the last few days has tried to reverse that accomplishment by taking the work requirement out of welfare. That is wrong. If I'm president, I'll put work back in welfare.
MS. IFILL: And the president accusing Romney of robbing the poor.
PRES. OBAMA: It's Romneyhood. (Laughter.) They have tried to sell us this trickle-down tax cut fairy dust before. And guess what? It does not work.
MS. IFILL: Counting down to the conventions, the biggest open question is: who will run with Romney? The short list shrinks.
Covering the week, John Harwood of CNBC and the New York Times; Beth Reinhard of National Journal; and Jeff Zeleny of the New York Times.
ANNOUNCER: Award winning reporting and analysis, covering history as it happens, live from our nation's capital, this is "Washington Week with Gwen Ifill," produced in association with National Journal.
(Station announcements.)
ANNOUNCER: Once again, live from Washington, moderator Gwen Ifill.
MS. IFILL: Good evening. To tell you the truth, I was out of town for most of the week. From a distance, everything I saw and read about the presidential campaign seemed incredibly small.
The Senate majority leader continued to accuse the Republican nominee of not paying taxes. He felt no need to offer proof. Then the ads began. This one from Obama allies at the Priorities USA PAC seemed to link Mitt Romney to a woman's death from cancer.
MR. SOPTIC: I don't think he realizes that people's lives completely changed. When Mitt Romney and Bain closed the plant, I lost my health care. And my family lost their health care. And a short time after that, my wife became ill. I don't know how long she was sick. And I think maybe she didn't say anything because she knew that we couldn't afford the insurance.
MS. IFILL: The Romney response out today.
MAN [Narrator]: When his campaign tries to use the tragedy of a woman's death for political gain and stood by as his top aides were caught lying about it – doesn't America deserve better than a president that will say or do anything to stay in power?
MS. IFILL: But there was also this: the Romney campaign accused the president of gutting welfare reform.
MAN [Narrator]: Under Obama's plan, you wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train for a job. They'd just send you your welfare check. And welfare-to-work goes back to being plain old welfare. Mitt Romney will restore the work requirement, because it works.
MS. IFILL: The Obama campaign response –
MAN [Narrator]: The Washington Post says the Obama administration is not removing the bill's work requirements at all. In fact, Obama's getting states to move 20 percent more people from welfare to work. And President Clinton's reaction to the Romney ad? It's just not true.
MS. IFILL: Now, let's assume for the sake of argument that neither campaign is being completely truthful about the other. But they're rolling in the mud for a reason. Let's explain.
First, on this welfare debate – is it real? What is false and what is true? And why are we arguing about it, Jeff?
MR. ZELENY: Well, some people I think were surprised that we're even discussing welfare at all because it's not a central issue in the campaign.
MS. IFILL: Except there's a hot button.
MR. ZELENY: Right. It is a hot-button issue. And what is the central issue? It's the economy. The people have jobs on their minds. They have someone in their family who does not have a job. So this touches all of those buttons. So never mind the fact that it's not accurate. All the independent fact checkers out there have said it's not accurate.
But, first, what the Romney campaign is trying to do here with this is reach out to those blue-collar working class voters who may not be quite sure about Governor Romney.
They've heard all summer long that he has been a profiteer. He's wealthy. He's hiding secrets. He's not releasing his tax returns. So this is something of an antidote to that from the campaign, just sort of change the focus. And it did so rather dramatically by putting the Obama campaign on the defensive.
So never mind if it's true or not. And this one isn't true. But it seems like truth is not a criteria now on any side of the debate. But the difference in this Medicare ad is this is actually airing heavily across the country in battleground states. The other ad, that we saw by the Priorities USA Super PAC actually have never been on television one time.
MS. IFILL: Except on programs like ours. I heard there were half a million hits online with that Priorities USA ad, which, of course, if you were watching just the one about – I just blanked out – one about Joe Soptic is the one about the work whose wife died of cancer.
So what is the point if it's only online? Is it just to stir the conversation we've having, once again, the flipside of what the Romney folks are doing?
MS. REINHARD: Sure. If he can get your ad distributed for free, have people going onto the Internet to watch it, have the networks and the cable stations airing it repeatedly, I mean, that's the best gift of all. That's free publicity.
MR. HARWOOD: And it's definitely an asymmetrical force in these campaigns because you've got the Republican side with – that's raising hundreds of millions of dollars for the ads and they're putting heavy money behind the welfare ad, as Jeff mentioned.
You've got interestingly this incumbent president whose Super PAC is not raising a ton of money, but they're able to leverage a piece of film that has not aired on television one time and everybody's talking about it. It's a fascinating way they're doing it.
And on that welfare ad, by the way, it's no accident that that was a woman factory worker shown in the welfare ad because one of the key constituencies that has slid away from Romney, as we've seen some of these polls show Obama opening a lead outside the margin of error, are non-college white women. And Mitt Romney is trying to stop that slide.
MS. IFILL: Let's talk about that, Beth, because you wrote about that this week, which is the degree to which the Obama campaign so far has an edge among these women. And these ads in some way are targeted to them as well, from both sides.
MS. REINHARD: Yes, very much so. I mean, the Obama campaign has tailored ads toward different constituencies that it wants – already has a lead with and it wants to extend that lead. They have ads tailored to women, ads tailored to Hispanics.
The Romney campaign has a much different kind of message. It's a much broader message, and it's the economy.
But the Obama campaign is going about it differently and hoping that it can pick off some of those swing voters, those women who maybe are not in love with Obama. They're thinking about Mitt Romney. And they're not sure if they're totally comfortable with the Republican Party on social issues.
MS. IFILL: Here's something that I find that they seem to have in common. Both sides seem to be playing to grievance and to the aggrieved, whether it's the woman in the Obama ad who says Mitt Romney scares me, or the white, working class man who the Obama campaign is having trouble getting, who the Romney folks seem to be trying to nail down. It seems like it's all playing to kind of everyone's anxiety and the idea that someone else is either taking something from them or giving something to someone else.
MR. ZELENY: I think that's right because this campaign is in its essence about the economy. It is about people's economic anxieties, sort of their fear for the future and other things. And John's absolutely right about the women.
I was up in Boston this week talking to a lot of Romney campaign advisors, and they were actually very proud of this welfare ad because they said it tests extremely well with independents and they said specifically with women.
So it's one thing that is worrisome to them. In some of these battleground polls like in Ohio, for example, a very important state for Governor Romney and President Obama, he is falling behind with women. So it will be interesting to see how much this ad affects things there, if at all, because it's running in very heavy rotations in those states.
MS. IFILL: It's interesting that it tests well with women, because you talk to voters and I'm not certain how much they're paying attention to these, actual voters as opposed to test marketed voters. You were in Ohio this week.
MR. HARWOOD: I was in Ohio earlier this week, and I talked to an undecided voter in a shopping center. And I was trying to capture who these people are actually receiving campaign information, because there's a flurry of advertisements and mail and phone calls.
MS. IFILL: Flurry is a kind way of putting it – avalanche.
MR. HARWOOD: And this woman fit the profile the pollsters have told me of this relatively small group of undecided voters, which is they tend to be low-information voters. They're not following the campaign closely. They're fairly disaffected from politics. They don't have a stable partisan identification.
And this woman was saying, I mute the ads when they come on. I hang up on the phone calls when they come. Both of these guys are playing these sort of nasty games with each other and it's not serious. It's not about my life. And I don't see stakes in my life if on or the other gets elected. I won't watch the conventions. I will watch the debates to see how they react under pressure at that moment and maybe I'll make a decision a day or two before the election.
MS. IFILL: How has she voted in the past? Did she tell you?
MR. HARWOOD: She voted for Obama in 2008; said she always votes, but she's somebody who started out as a Democrat, drifted to the Republicans. I didn't ask her this specifically but likely during the Reagan years; then came back, was disaffected, certainly disaffected by the end of the Bush years and voted for Obama.
But it goes to the point that you were asking a minute ago, these ads being all about grievance. Think about it: who in this country is really in a good mood and feeling optimistic about the future right now? We get consistently 60 percent or more of the people saying the country is on the wrong track. Approval rating for Congress is terrible. The president has a decent approval rating and people like him.
But this is a fundamentally a race between an incumbent president who is weighed down by a bad economy and high unemployment trying to make the race equally or more about the agenda of this Republican and make him unpopular.
MS. REINHARD: John, you mentioned that the president – his likeability, as pollsters will say, is decent. It's taken a hit, but it's still better than Romney's. And I think that one of those ads that we just saw, the response ad to the Priorities ad that never ran saying this is beneath the president, and he uses the words – you know, Obama will "say or do anything" to get elected. I mean, they're trying to chip away at that likeability.
And what's also really interesting to me about saying or do anything, I mean, that sounds like the worst description that you would hear of Mitt Romney. And so they're taking that –
MS. IFILL: Or of any politician actually.
MS. REINHARD: Right. But Romney especially has had to fend off that charge, that he's, you know, just doing it for the political wins, not because he truly believes that in his heart. And so it's interesting for them to turn that around back on the president.
MR. ZELENY: And they're trying to remind people that, look, President Obama is a politician now. He may not have been four years ago, but he is a politician now.
One of the more interesting ads – I think it's still playing – the Republican National Committee is running an ad basically giving – it's almost flattering in a way – not really – to President Obama saying, it's okay. He tried. It's giving people –
MS. IFILL: It's okay to change your mind.
MR. ZELENY: It's a permission structure to vote against President Obama. I'm actually surprised that it's coming in August as opposed to in the end of October. Perhaps it will come again.
MS. IFILL: It will come back.
MR. ZELENY: But it's really fascinating because if you voted for President Obama the first time, if it was a vote of history or a vote of –
MS. IFILL: Getting caught up in the excitement. Yes.
MR. ZELENY: – it is giving people, it's okay to not vote for him again. It's fascinating.
MS. IFILL: Let me ask you – to take all of that and make it work with these polls we've seen. The Times has done two rounds of battleground state polls. We've seen some national polls. Interestingly, Fox and CNN have the president ahead by a healthy margin, seven or eight points nationally, but Gallup has him in a dead heat. That may have something to do with how the polls are taken. But in these battleground states, the president is not doing badly either.
What are – what is the result – what's causing that? What's driving that?
MR. HARWOOD: Well, I think fundamentally what's happened is that the public has acquired, with a lot of help from the Obama campaign and Democrats, a more unfavorable view of Mitt Romney.
Here's the problem with that attempt to say Obama will say or do anything. It's hard to shift people's opinions or feelings about a president they've been living with for four years, much easier to mould the image of somebody who's burst onto the scene as the Republican nominee. And I think that's what's driven down Mitt Romney – the Bain attacks, the tax attacks, the he's-a-rich-guy attacks. And Romney's got his work cut out for him at the convention to try to flesh out a little bit of positive persona.
MS. REINHARD: That was really the gamble that the Obama campaign took. They said, we're going to spend early and we're going to spend aggressively and we're going to attack him.
MS. IFILL: And they have, by the way. They spent a lot of money.
MS. REINHARD: And they did. And they did. And the gamble was, are we going to taint the good name of President Obama, who does have this good will and this likeability, are we going to put him in sort of the muck with everyone else, or, better yet, are we going to take a guy like Romney, who is not as well known as the president, and we're going to define him for you. We're going to define him in a very unfavorable way.
MS. IFILL: When you look at these battleground state polls, you'll see six states that you've looked out so far, which I believe are Obama, Virginia – did I say Obama – Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio –
MR. ZELENY: And Colorado.
MS. IFILL: And Colorado. Okay. So when you look at those, what does that tell you about the kinds of inroads these candidates are making based on what's resonating in the states that will decide the election?
MR. ZELENY: A couple of takeaways. One is that Governor Romney basically is doing fine on the economy. If this election really was only about the economy and nothing else, he would be actually doing quite well, but it's about more than that.
The biggest worry sign for the Romney campaign in these polls is the empathy factor. There's a very large empathy gap here. He does not understand the concerns or the problems of people's lives.
Ohio is the most striking – almost 20 points difference. Now, with the margin of error – it might be smaller than that, but it's one of the worry signs on that front.
But for the president, though, it is basically saying that people don't believe that his economic policies are going to help. They sort of lost hope in his plan. And they're really open to the idea of supporting Governor Romney, but they're not there yet.
I think some voters have made the decision that, okay, we might have to fire President Obama, but they're not quite there on hiring Governor Romney. But among women is also a big factor because Governor Romney is trailing among Hispanics and women, and he knows – his campaign is aware that they have to close those margins if he's going to close the gap.
MS. IFILL: So let's talk about the buzz of the moment. Does it matter who Mitt Romney's running mate is? And, if it does, given what we know, in the inroads he needs to make in order to unseat an incumbent, who will help, who will hurt? Does it matter?
MR. HARWOOD: Well, I would say it matters, not a lot. But it matters a little.
MS. IFILL: For electoral purposes, not for historical purposes.
MR. HARWOOD: Yes, not a lot, but it matters a little. It can reinforce the image of the nominee. It might be able to add a point or two in a swing state that you need to win because of the familiarity and the positive reputation that somebody has in their home state. And it can either arouse your base nationally and appeal to swing voters, or do the opposite.
When I think about the top candidates, you think Tim Pawlenty, who had a good record as governor of Minnesota. Minnesota is a state that's kind of a long shot for Mitt Romney to carry.
You've got Rob Portman of Ohio who – very solid guy. He worked for President Bush and he would raise some of the memories of the Bush administration, but Ohio is a very important state.
Paul Ryan, a third candidate, is the advocate of a very controversial budget plan that would pull Medicare and Social Security more firmly into the campaign.
When I look at all that, I think Portman makes the most sense because of the centrality of Ohio, but –
MS. IFILL: That's because you're a Washington insider.
MR. HARWOOD: Yes, exactly.
MS. IFILL: What do you guys think?
MS. REINHARD: Well, what I was going to say is that I think one mistake a lot of people make in analyzing these vice presidential candidates is – there's this idea that somehow the vice presidential candidates' personality rubs off on the nominee. And I just – I don't see how that's going to happen. I mean, if people are going to be – not going to think Romney's more down to earth because he chooses Tim Pawlenty, who grew up in a very blue collar background.
MR. HARWOOD: He plays hockey.
MS. REINHARD: Yes. I just think Mitt Romney is still Mitt Romney.
MS. IFILL: Except that there's a very popular wave right now, at least in conservative circles, still for Marco Rubio with the assumption that his excitement and his speech giving abilities and his personality theoretically could rub off or at least represent something.
MR. ZELENY: Absolutely. And it's one of the drawbacks for the Romney campaign of not already making the announcements because they've created a vacuum so there can be all this sort of chatter. And the Wall Street Journal editorial board weighed in very heavily this week as did the Weekly Standard for Paul Ryan.
But I think we have to look at what Governor Romney said his principles were at the very beginning – someone who is prepared to step into the job from day one, prepared to campaign on a national level. And I'm not sure that Senator Rubio fits that bill. So I think that we believe that the short list are the three people that we have mentioned here.
I think that the possibility for surprise is much less this time around because of Sarah Palin, of course. And they have done their absolutely due diligence, sent researchers out. They have fully vetted I believe all of these potential candidates, because Governor Romney does not want to repeat the four years ago and having any surprise sort of upset this race at all. It's within striking distance for him. And this above all should not hurt – should maybe help, but definitely it should not hurt.
MR. HARWOOD: And everything we've seen about the Mitt Romney campaign so far points toward being risk adverse so we'll see whether he follows that.
MS. IFILL: Can we just in general just tie a bow on this? We're in the dog days of August. A little cliché is always good at this time. Is this low road that we seem to be on, no matter whether the nominee can break through with his vice presidential pick or not, is this just what happens, or is there something different about the speed, the velocity, the money that's being spent this time, which has made this, Beth, seem like a different or a dirtier kind of campaign at this stage?
MS. REINHARD: I think the debates will help to elevate the conversation. I think what you say it's the dog days of August, we are kind of waiting or waiting to hear who Romney is going to pick as his running mate. We're waiting for the conventions. And so –
MS. IFILL: So we're dancing in place.
MS. REINHARD: It's a little bit of the silly season.
MS. IFILL: Briefly, you.
MR. HARWOOD: Well, I do think that the velocity issue is a real one and that the polarization of the country and the ever presence of media of all kinds means people get locked in earlier. Later events matter less. It's the reason why the Obama team started to spend so heavily early.
MR. ZELENY: Especially with early voting and these Super PAC ads – a new dynamic, much more aggressive ad – and people will see the same ads more times in the next two and a half months.
MS. IFILL: They're calling each other liars on a daily basis saying the other has lost credibility. After this, the general election in the fall is going to seem like, nah, it's going to keep getting bad, right?
Thank you everybody. Thank you very much. I'm sorry that we have to leave you a few minutes early tonight so you can give a little love to your local PBS stations which in turn support us.
But our conversation will continue, as it always does, online in our "Washington Week Webcast Extra."
Want to know how much our panelists are looking forward to the political conventions, find us at PBS – a lot really – find us at pbs.org/washingtonweek. Then keep up with daily developments on the PBS "NewsHour," especially Monday when I'll have an interview with Mitt Romney.
And then we'll see you here again next week on "Washington Week." Good night.

Catherine Gates says her neighbor has talked about burning his side of their duplex trailer down for the past week.
"He said I'm going to torch it," Gates said. "I didn't take him seriously. Who the hell, who is going to believe somebody would snap like that and do that?"
She says Daniel Burke has been noticeably agitated lately due to a number of personal issues, including a recent arrest on child sex abuse allegations.
"He promised me he would never do anything to hurt me or make me lose my home," Gates said.
But Burke's problems got worse Wednesday evening when he was arrested for alleged drunk driving downtown. He was processed at the station. A friend brought him to his home on Charles Way. Shortly after, a neighbor called police claiming they heard Burke breaking glass.
"They went to that location; they could see Mr. Burke inside the trailer. They tried to get him at the door, they knocked, he turned the lights off and then the officers could see flames," Plattsburgh Police Lt. Pat Rascoe said.
Two officers then forced their way into the home. They fought off the smoke and flames in an effort to locate Burke. They found him in his bedroom and on fire. They then dragged him outside.
"They were able to roll him on the ground and put out the flames on his body," Rascoe said.
Seconds later the home burst into flames. Police believe it had been doused with a flammable liquid. The fire was so intense it ignited part of a neighboring trailer and melted the siding on another home. Burke is hospitalized with first- and second-degree burns over half of his body. Four police officers were treated for smoke inhalation.
"I'm going to get through it; I'll get back on my feet," Gates said.
The fire left Gates homeless. Her side of the duplex was severely damaged, too. She's just grateful to have escaped with her pets and a few personal belongings.
"All of a sudden I'm homeless," Gates said. "I'm going to be 59 years old, I should not be homeless."
The Red Cross is finding her temporary shelter.
Once Burke recovers from his burns, police expect to charge him with arson.

Guest Post COW: Jon likes himself a little puckPosted on January 26th, 2007 – 10:10 AM
By Michael Rand
It's that time again — honestly, one of our favorite times of the week. We get to shut our yap and let you have the stage for a little while. Jon, RandBall's sixth Commenter Of the Week, is a bona fide blogger in his own right. He has spent the past three years penning "The National Anthem Before A Cubs Game," which probably gets a lot of indirect traffic from a different audience because the first three letters of its web address are "tna." But seriously, it's a Minnesota-themed sports blog, and he does a splendid job with it. He checks in in just one second — right after we remind all the former COWs that you now get to vote for the COW every week. So please do vote. Don't go to some other site and just throw your vote away. Here are Jon's words:
Raise your hands if you know the final score of Wednesday's NHL All-Star Game. Not a lot of hands up, are there? Nobody — okay, a minuscule number of somebodies — watched the All-Star Game. Despite the fact that it was televised in HD. Despite the fact that all the offensive talent in the world was on display. Despite the fact that Vs. pulled out every stop they could think of, in an attempt to draw in new fans. And those new jerseys? They're ugly. They look like baseball batting practice jerseys. And here's the worst part: the die-hard fans liked the old ones.
Here's an idea, NHL: instead of always trying to draw new fans, how about you focus on not alienating the ones you already have? You might remember us, NHL. We're the ones who still call the NFC North the "Norris Division." We're the ones who grow a beard while our team is in the playoffs. We're the ones who make jokes about "calling Toronto" when we can't make a decision. We're the ones that stuck with you through the lockout and through the boredom of the clutch-and-grab neutral zone trap. How about catering to us for once, NHL? We'd rather have hockey in Winnipeg than in Las Vegas. We'd rather you not make the uniforms that we defiantly wear on Casual Friday into something that looks ridiculous. We'd rather not go three years in between visits from Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin, just because you can't get it together and agree on something better. And we want the Norris Division back. That's non-negotiable.
Focus on those of us who love hockey. We're the best salespeople you have, and if you make us happy, it will pay off in the long run.
