PC sales tank on fears of Meltdown, Part Deux
Gartner: 'Take two tablets and call me in 2012'
The prognosticators at Gartner have again taken out their box cutters and sliced off the top of their worldwide PC shipment forecasts – and this time they're slashing both this year and the next.
The company's models now project that the world will consume 364 million PCs in 2011 – a 3.8 per cent increase over 2010's shipments – and then grow by 10.9 per cent to 404 million units in 2012.
That's a substantial revision of their earlier projections that PC shipments were going to grow by 9.3 per cent this year to 400 million units, then do even better in 2012, rising by a further 12.8 per cent.
Maybe Gartner was using a Magic 8 Ball – Reply hazy, try again.
Ranjit Atwal, a Gartner research director who tracks the PC market, said in a statement that Western Europe has economic upheaval and an excess of machine inventories, and that US consumers started pulling back on PC spending in the second quarter, with back-to-school spending also low.
"An increasing pessimistic economic outlook is causing both consumer and business sentiment to deteriorate in both regions," Atwal said. "We're expecting consumer spending to tighten in response. Business spending will also tighten, but less than the consumer space."
Perhaps more ominously, Atwal says that Generation Y is not buying a PC as their main or even first device in many cases, and are falling back to smartphones or tablets. Current PCs are not compelling enough to get geezers to buy new machines, either.
Blame the media ... tablet
George Shiffler, another director who tracks the PC market at Gartner, was equally pessimistic.
"Media tablets have dramatically changed the dynamic of the PC market and HP's decision to rethink its PC strategy simply highlights the pressure that PC vendors are under to adapt to the new dynamic or abandon the market," said Shiffler. "Vendors' tried and true business models are failing as traditional PC functionality is extended to other devices, and users continue to lengthen PC lifetimes.
"Vendors only seem to be flailing as they look for quick fixes to their problems. Unfortunately, the resulting chaos is just creating more confusion across the entire PC supply chain, impacting sell-in."
It's a great time to be trying to spin out a PC business, eh, HP?
As El Reg previously reported, Foxconn, the Chinese maker of Apple's iPad fondleslabs, has said that it will ship 20 million iPad 2s in the current quarter. Motorola Xoom and RIM Playbooks together shipped under 1 million units in the second quarter of this year, a paltry showing compared to the iPad, indeed.
Every one of those tablets might have been a skinny notebook or a tiny netbook, and every tablet sold next year might have been an ultrabook. It will take a serious return to boom times before consumers and businesses feel rich enough to have a top-end smartphone, a snazzy tablet, and a costly PC all current at the same time.
As they always do in uncertain economic times, many people are deciding that their PC is good enough for now – and maybe for the next year or two, too.
PC makers should be thankful for the vast installed base of truly creaky PCs sitting out there in the dens and on the desktops of the world. Having already had their lifecycles lengthened by the Great Recession, these wheezing PCs are what keeps PC shipments growing at all in Western economies. ®
I'd lve a new PC and laptop
My Pc is 8yr old, laptop is 4yr old and both really need replaced. But until the Government, the energy companies, and oil companies stop sucking on my wallet like a starving vampire they'll just have to do.
New PC not much better than old PC
The useful performance of CPUs on everyday tasks has basically plateaued in the last 3 years. If it wasn't for the fact that Windows still gets arthritic with time & users think their hardware has become slower, hardly any new PCs would be purchased (OK there is also the need to get rid of Vista and XP machines due to OS obsolescence... but that's not the fault of the hardware).
Back to the economics of the typewriter.
Typewriters used to sit on desks for generations. Even when they fell apart, they were skilfully put back together again by engineers.
Then came several decades of blatant corporate waste, powered by the cosy relationship between Microsoft and the hardware companies.
I'm not knocking all the advances: complex stuff became possible that had been impossible, huge spreadsheet analysis could be done in minutes instead of overnight. Even the first time we saw a DIR listing rush up the screen too fast to see any of the words seemed awesome.
But so many of the demands for upgrades were just for status; just to have the latest thing someone had read about. I'm all for the economics of those typewriter days. The PC hardware companies? Well, I guess they just have to check out how the old office equipment makers ever made a living. For a start, I guess they probably didn't obsess over this quarter's growth figures.
Are they failing? Unstable? A re-install can really boost a PC's performance. About the only thing an 8-year old PC will not do is run current games, it should still be able to cope with web, office etc.
Of course, if it was a really low-budget, low-powered system 8 years ago then you may well struggle. In which case, try installing a less demanding OS. One of the "Puppy Linux" distros is often a good choice.
It's that Windows advert where a 4-year old PC is "too old". Horse-hockey. Makes me want to punch my 12 year-old TV and write an angry email on my 7 year-old laptop.
All very true...
Aside from punters holding onto their computers longer due to financial constraints, there's other factors at play here too.
Even computers 5 years old+ are entirely capable of running the latest version of windows (lets face it, that's what most average punters use). Lets not forget the legions of XP users still out there, quite happy with their old computers.
There's nothing exciting about the PC market, we may have gone from dull beige boxes to snazzy chrome, sweeping lines and multiple colours - but that fad has played itself out, as has the netbook, the last poster child of the consumer PC.
Punters want tablets and most of them want iPad's - that's where the new coolness is. They've got their aforementioned snazzy chrome, sweeping lined colourful desktops, laptops & netbooks - no need to buy a new one.
But tablets? The marketing shine is glowing strong.

Greta Scacchi News Articles
The Iron Lady and the arts were never the closest of bedfellows – she took her axe to them and they rebelledIn a word, Margaret Thatcher 's relationship with the arts has been ironic. By taking an axe to British culture, the former Pm – making headlines once again with the arrival of The Iron Lady starring Meryl Streep – gave a generation something to rebel against, inspiring an outpouring of creativity that was usually negative, hateful and directed against her.There's even a hint of that irony in the new film: it starts with the old milk-snatcher herself running out of milk. Thatcher is undeniably an easy look: big hair, handbag, deep voice, blue dress – or business suit for her Spitting Image puppet. On TV, she's been portrayed by everyone from Jennifer Saunders (as a femme fatale in The Hunt for Tony Blair) to Greta Scacchi (nakedly in Jeffrey Archer: The Truth

You understand course assessment, but what about this program part? This workshop will help you understand the relationship between course and program assessment and answer your questions about this part of the assessment process. We will explain, and give examples, of the program assessment report and submission process. This is a crash course in program assessment for beginners and experienced faculty, too.
The Scantron Par System can assist you in analyzing your SLO assessments. It can analyze test outcomes and create reports so that you can review the results and make decisions and changes based on results. It will facilitate classroom assessment, making it easier to collect and analyze data. Your course assessment can be automated so you don't have to do it manually. It's the end of the cross-hatch. Come for an introduction to this new, very helpful tool.
The Science Departments participated in a Faculty Inquiry Group to find answers to assessment questions and issues. One department was comfortable with course assessment, but wanted to find out how to assess their program, another needed answers about labs, and another needed a way to incorporate the informal assessment they knew was working with new assessment guidelines. Find out how they got their answers and if a Faculty Inquiry Group would be beneficial for you and for your department.

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. September 22, (Autumnal Equinox), marked the transitioning to cooler temperatures, the harvest, deer season, colorful leaves, the second round of dove season...hunting.
The season certainly stimulates the senses. The turning of leaves is more beautiful than any painting. The unmistakable aroma of burning of leaves is certainly a signature of the season. Ladies with lots of hair probably have a deep appreciate for autumn. The high humidity during the summer plays havoc even on the most manicured mane. Just ask my older daughter. She is so grateful for the drop in participation, last week she took a picture of her non-frizzed locks and posted it on her Facebook page. I guess everybody has his or her own way of celebrating.
Cities like to throw festivals and host various activities in observation of the season. A couple of weeks ago Irmo hosted the Okra Strut, obviously in time for the harvest of the South's gumbo king. On Saturday, our HomeTown Chamber, along with the Town of Kingstree and local merchants celebrated the season with Falling For Families festival. Kids got to frolic down Academy Street, wearing themselves out in the inflatable bounce houses, petting lamas and goats, and eating as much junk as they could pack away. Next weekend is the annual Pig Pickin' Festival and its BBQ cook-off.
However, autumn hasn't quite made its debut and that's got me somewhat aggravated. There's a dresser drawer crammed with a plethora of sweaters and vests - all saturated in the colors of earth - just waiting to warm me up on a chilly morn'. Three fresh plump pumpkins are sitting in the garage - blank - untouched by the edge of a carving knife. And to top it off, the Sergeant Major has set aside a deer stand just for me. It too sits idle - probably home to a hoard of nesting wasps that plan on lighting up my camouflaged rear-end the moment I invade their dry, protected space. Until the season finally shows up, I must devise constructive ways to occupy my time. Lets see...I could painstakingly polish the brass of each 270 bullet. Or I could wash my clothes in so-scent soap and practice applying camo makeup. Oh, I know! I can bide my time ingesting "fall-ish" sweets. Keeping with the season I could concoct a savory nibble in autumn-appropriate shades of brown, such as dove dark chocolates dipped in warm caramel. Yes, I believe I might survive the lingering heat. So will the wasps - at least for another day or two.

Venus reappears
That brilliant "star" very low in the southwest in evening twilight is Venus. You'll need a clean western horizon to see it. You'll probably need binoculars to see the elusive planet Mercury just below it.
As the brightest object in the nighttime sky besides the moon, the sun's second planet is hard to miss. If it's cloudy tonight, take heart. Venus will be visible through the end of winter. As the days and weeks pass, it will be a bit higher every night.
Watch it slowly migrate to the west along the horizon. The ancient Greeks were at first a bit confused about the planet. Because Venus is closer to the sun than Earth, it always appears close to the sun and is thus visible only in the evening just after the sun has set or in the morning just before sunrise. Because it appeared sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the evening, the early Greeks thought it was two objects — Hesperus, the evening star, and Phosphorus, the morning star.
This time around, it's the evening star. The Romans identified Venus as the goddess of love and beauty, and it's easy to see why. Few objects in the sky look so beautiful. My daughter, who is a Latin scholar at SUNY Buffalo, reminds me that the Roman goddess — and hence the planet —was sometimes called Hesper, or Vesper, which means evening. A holdover of that meaning can be found in the Catholic celebration of Vespers, or evening prayers.
Astronomers used to think that Venus was Earth's twin sister. At about 8,000 miles wide, the planet is about the same size as Earth. At 67 million miles from the sun, it's only 25 million miles closer than our planet.
However, despite the similarities, we'll find no life on Venus. Venus turns out to be Earth's evil twin. The problem is its atmosphere, which is mostly a very thick layer of carbon dioxide covered over completely with sulfuric-acid clouds. The air pressure is so great that an unwary astronaut who landed there would be crushed flat like a bug under a heavy atmospheric boot.
The clouds let in only about 2 percent of the sun's light, which suggests that Venus should be cold, despite its proximity to the sun. The trouble is that the dense atmosphere is very efficient at trapping the heat from the sun's feeble rays.
On Venus we find an out-of-control greenhouse effect with temperatures of 900 degrees Fahrenheit everywhere on its surface. You wouldn't want to visit a planet where sulfur lies in molten, steaming pools on the ground. The weirdness doesn't end there. Venus has the slowest rate of rotation in the solar system. Our planet turns once on its axis every 24 hours. Venus rotates once every 5,832 hours, or once every 232 Earth days. A Venus year — the time it takes to make one revolution around the sun — is only 225 days long. A Venus day is thus seven Earth days longer than its year!
Daytime on Earth begins as the sun rises in the east and ends when it sets in the west, a phenomenon caused by the Earth's west-to-east rotation. Venus rotates in the opposite direction, i.e., from east to west. On Venus, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.
The mythical inhabitants of Venus would think it perfectly natural to see the sun rising in the west. They would have a harder time with the high temperatures and atmospheric pressure. The gentle sulfuric-acid rain would be a major inconvenience.
But the worst thing about living on Venus would be the clouds. Imagine the sun as a feeble red orb, Earth and all the planets blocked by the unvarying cloud cover. Imagine a sky without the beautiful constellations or the galaxies of stars. Imagine a civilization with no sense at all of the vast universe that surrounds it, its imagination limited to the paltry confines of its tiny planet.
We'll find no life at all on Venus. Thank goodness for that.

I have a p-200 on a Micro star MS-5129 motherboard with the 430VX chip set. The manual says it supports 168 pin SDram, but I need too change the voltage to 3.3 (via jumpers). I removed the 72 pin simms.
I get a blank screen when I start-up the system.
I tried the SDram on a different system. It checks out OK. I tried a different SDram module, it still doesn't work. Any ideas???
Also the 430VX chip set supposedly supports 75 and 83.3 mhz FSB, unofficially (the manual doesn't show the required jumper settings). Does anyone know these settings??

Bobby Kinlaw, ChiefElizabethtown Police DepartmentMarsha Burney The first ticket that Elizabethtown Police Chief Bobby Kinlaw wrote, his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't read the name and address on the driver's license he was holding. He had to steady the license by sliding it in the horn pad on the steering wheel; then, and only then, it wasn't jumping all over the place from his nervousness.

Marvin Burney recently spent 35 days in ICU recently, and shares his thoughts with "Bladen Online" readers. If you read the story Marsha wrote about us last week, you may be thinking what a lot of people have been telling me the past seven weeks -- "Marvin, you were left here for a reason!" I keep hearing that in phone call, emails, text messages, on Facebook, and about everywhere in public I go.

No Tax Increase in Proposed County Budget The proposed Bladen County budget for FY 2013-14 holds the current tax rate. Greg Martin, Bladen County Manager, in his overview to County Commissioners is proposing a 1.2% increase over the current budget totalling $38,583,302. Martin points out that the proposed budget includes increases in projections for significant sources of revenue such as property tax and sales taxes, as well as federal and state funding for the Department of Social Services. However, according to Martin, there are revenue reductions for Home Health fees, grant projects and loan proceeds. "We believe that revenue projections are reasonable, based on year-to-date collections and audited collections in FY12," according to the Manager.
Early-planted corn is showing problems, Cool, wet weather slowing root growth RALEIGH — Corn planted early in the year often yields better than late-planted corn, but it can also be hindered by unfavorable weather.

Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services reports that many fields now show evidence of nutrient deficiency, especially of phosphorus and sulfur.Corn plants that are purple because of phosphorus deficiency are showing up even in fields where recent soil-test reports show phosphorus levels to be adequate.

Bladen Give Five - Read Five Give Five - Read Five: Donate Books to Local Elementary Schools - Have you ever heard of the term summer loss? This is not a seasonal diet or exercise program, but a troubling trend in which students lose valuable literacy skills when they stop reading during their break from school. Low-income children are especially susceptible to this problem because they often go home to an environment where there are very few books or other reading resources. As a result, by the end of fifth grade, these students are approximately 2 ½ years behind their more affluent peers in terms of reading ability, primarily because of summer loss. For this reason, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction has launched the "Give Five – Read Five" campaign.

Ron Warren: EB's Teacher of the Year
Marsha Burney
Ron Warren's classroom at East Bladen doesn't look like a classroom at all.

I'm currently in Montreal, and visiting Quebec City tomorrow morning with my beau. Due to a tight schedule, we have only one day to spend there, so I am hoping a few of you might have some suggestions for lovely (inexpensive!) things we could do while there, like sites (I do want to see the Chateau Frontenac!) and cafes, views, etc.!
Thanks so much...

Tempo Tuesday
check out these stunning images from out beloved friends and comic artists with the black hat collective!
Mary stuart
My father was a baseball player and my mother was determined that her seven children would be exposed to music, dance, theatre and the visual arts. All the music lessons, youth orchestra, ballet, and museum art classes were her idea and my father faithfully drove us all to these countless lessons. I'm a professional flutist by default, however. I wanted to be the first girl to play in the Major Leagues long before I wanted to be a flutist.
I auditioned for principal flute in 1984, and I had played second flute for three years prior to that. So, 27 yrs. as principal, 30 yrs altogether.
I think that this Opera company covers a huge amount of territory with great skill. Every season offers standard, audience-loving favorites, the staple of the opera repertoire. But MN Opera has also successfully mounted many newly commissioned operas which have garnered considerable acclaim in the opera world, not to mention other contemporary operas which keep audience's ears and tastes fresh. Also, MN Opera's ongoing commitment to staging a Bel Canto offering every season is noteworthy in itself.
My own backyard gives me peace, solitude, flora and fauna, and a place to unwind. In more ambitious moments: Valentine Lake in Arden Hills, the Arboretum, St. Croix Trail, Midway Stadium when the St. Paul Saints are playing.
My Bible, my flute, and the Bach Partita in a minor.
Anything J.S. Bach. Simplicity is elusive, but magical if briefly achieved. Gluck wrote: "I believe that my greatest efforts have been devoted to seeking a beautiful simplicity. I have avoided making displays of difficulty at the expense of clarity. Simplicity, truth, and naturalness are the great principles of beauty in all artistic manifestations."
I remember being 3 years old and sitting with my father, listening to the soundtrack LP of Mario Lanza as The Great Caruso. Music has always been a part of my life, so I can only try to imagine what it would be like without music: incomprehensible.
I would write poetry, presumably with greater skill as a vocation than as an avocation. Even yet, in the reading and writing, it has brought me a great deal of pleasure.
The woodwind section has never, in my memory, completed the run of an opera without some offering of intermission chocolate from one of us. This is why tempos at the beginnings of certain Acts are often ambitiously lively…
Easy: Verdi's La Traviata, because it is the first opera I ever heard, as a toddler; Bizet's Carmen, because I met my husband, violinist Roger Frisch, while playing Carmen at Indiana University Music School, and Barber's Vanessa, because of the divinely exquisite quintet in the Finale.
Amy Morris (flute, Minnesota Opera Orchestra)What made you decide on a career in the arts?You'll have to ask my mom – she picked out the flute for me. Once that was done, it was a foregone conclusion (thanks, Mom!). How long have you been working with opera?I've played since 1997, and been a core member of the orchestra since the 2000 season. What do you think makes Minnesota Opera unique from other companies?The company has a vision of opera that pays homage to the great works of the past, while sponsoring works of the future. It does it seamlessly, as opposed to poking you in the ribs with its odd ends. It's very much like architecture that melds old bricks and mortar with new design elements but creates one, beautiful whole. What is your favorite Twin Cities destination?My home in Richfield, where my nice neighborhood, back porch, garden and cats are. If you were stuck on a deserted island and could only bring three things, what would they be?A boat, an oar and a GPS. What has been the most challenging piece you have worked on and why?For the opera, it has to be Der Rosenkavalier. It requires technical proficiency, musical passion, and exquisite ensemble playing. Pinocchio was probably the most technically challenging piece we (I) ever played, but that made it really fun. How has music changed your life?Music is my religion. It has the power to transform lives and the ability to be incredibly banal. The transforming moments make the banal ones sufferable. If you had to choose a different field of work, what would you choose?I would go out to Sonoma, CA and start pouring wine at one of the vineyards and hopefully learn the process of winemaking. What is your favorite thing about Minnesota?MSP flies non-stop to Amsterdam. Is there any "haute" backstage gossip you would like to share from this or previous performances?Sometimes we have other things besides bottled water in the orchestra pit. What are your top three favorite operas?Der Rosenkavalier. I love the rest equally. Have you ever had hot dish, and if so what is your favorite variety?Tater tot casserole (we call it casserole where I come from). How do you eat your eggs?Over easy. Besides opera, do you have any other favorite genres of music? What are some of your favorite artists from that genre?The Beatles, and I love Springsteen's Seeger sessions with folk music. Do you have Twitter, a Facebook page or website fans can follow?all of the above. www.amy-morris.com; www.indande.com; and Facebook pages for Indande and The Prairie Song Project. What do you like to do when you aren't busy creating great opera?Drink great wine, travel to great places, play great chamber music, hang out with great friends, play with my great cats. |
The literary background that led to the creation of Verdi's La traviata is multi-layered. While many people think that the opera's libretto is based upon the true story of the author Alexandre Dumas fils (meaning junior) with the Parisian courtesan Marie Duplessis (born Alphonsine Plessis), in actuality an earlier episode from her life probably gave Dumas more of the story line for his novel, The Lady of the Camelias (La Dame aux Camélias), than did his short and stormy relationship with her.
Marie was born in 1824 to a modest family in the Normandy region of France. Her father was a notorious drunkard and abusive to the whole family. The most notorious of his acts was to try to burn his wife alive in their own house. After her later death, he managed to sell Alphonsine into prostitution. She was one of the many "grisettes" of Paris… young women who worked in small shops during the day, and sold themselves to men of modest means at night. Our Mimi of La boheme fame was probably a grisette….at least in the original novel Scenes from the Life of Boheme by Henri Murger.
Since this was to be Alphonsine's life in any case, one might say that she was lucky to be noticed one evening by Agénor de Gramont, the Duke of Guiche, one of the most well-known dandys of Paris. Alphonsine was 16 years old, he was 21. He acted as a sort of French Henry Higgens to her Eliza….bettering her position in many ways. He installed her in an apartment on the Rue de Mont Thabor in Paris, gave her a horse and carriages, servants and beautiful gowns. Not only that, he was responsible for helping her fill the gaps in her education. Under his watch, she learned to read, to write…even to play the piano! And it was at this moment that she changed her name from Alphonsine Plessis to the more chic Marie Duplessis.
Agénor de Gramont is much like Armand Duval of Dumas' novel. The family did not at all appreciate that Gramont flaunted his mistress in public, and it is fairly certain that his father, the Duke of Guiche, made a personal appeal to Marie to give up his son for the same reason that Dumas put into the mouth of Armand Duval's father: that the marriage of his daughter would be jeopardized by the scandalous life his son was leading. The words of the novel (in English) were "I have a daughter, young, beautiful, pure as an angel. She is marrying a man who loves her, she is entering an honorable family that wants for all to be as honorable as in mine."
These words of the novel were taken almost unaltered from Dumas' novel to use in that scene of Act II of Verdi's La traviata in the section "Pura siccome un angelo."
The scene from Act II of Verdi's La traviata in which Germont comes to convince Violetta to give up his son is the turning point in the opera, and musically one of the most beautiful and beloved scenes in operatic repertoire.
Please join us for this, as well as the many other delights of the great music and stage craft known as La traviata!

Keb Darge Presents Funk For The 21st CenturyVarious
CD (Item 63833) Do Right (Canada), 2002 — Condition: New Copy
Think funk music has to be old to be good? Think again – as Keb Darge takes you on a tour of some of the best funk you'll ever find on one CD, and it's all by current groups! Nobody knows more about old funk than Keb – as his work as a DJ, collector, and compiler have been keeping the music alive for years. But Keb's also open minded enough to realize that there's a heck of a lot of new groups that have been inspired by the classic grooves of the late 60s and early 70s – and who share his love for totally authentic funky tracks that are perfect in every way, top to bottom with dirty, heavy, messed-up funk! The set brings together 14 recent tracks from the deep funk underground – killer cuts that were issued as rare 7" singles, plus a few previously unissued numbers, all with the sock-hard finish of classic work by James Brown or The Meters – and with the added bonus that these are groups that you could actually get up, go out, and see in a club! Tracks include the previously unissued tracks "Wait Up" by Speedometer and "The Badger" by Connie Price & The Keystones – plus "Texas Rumble" by The Imaginary Visions, "Forty First Street Breakdown" by Naomi Davis, "One Note Brown" by The New Mastersounds, "Got To Be The Way It Is" by Sharon Jones, "Who's The King" by Joseph Henry, "The Matador" by The Mighty Imperials, "GT" by The New Mastersounds, "Funky So & So" by The Sugarman Three, and "Blow Your Top (part 1)" by The Soul Destroyers. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

I was pleased to see the article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel earlier this week stating that work on the Milwaukee streetcar is on track to begin in summer 2014. Though the route has severe limitations and I worry that the project is set up to fail based on that route, I still think the project is worthy of support. Here is why.
First, having actual tracks in the ground will hopefully end the illogical bus v. train debate in Milwaukee. Urban transportation is about moving people from point A to point B, but for some reason the debate over urban transit in Milwaukee is all about modes of transportation rather than the concept of transportation. How often have you heard opponents of the streetcar argue that trains are outdated?
Incidentally, both buses and trains are descendants of the omnibus, which was essentially a horse drawn box-like container. The first omnibus used for mass-transit in America, in New York in 1829, did not operate on a fixed track. It wasn't until 1832 that someone decided to put the omnibus on a track and call it a horse-railway. So arguably, a streetcar operated on a fixed rail is a more modern idea than a bus. But that is beside the point. What matters is that Milwaukee needs a modern transit system, and the construction of the streetcar will hopefully shift the debate to how Milwaukee can best use a diversity of modes of transportation (like most other large cities) to meet the needs of its citizens and visitors.
Second, if the potential route of the Milwaukee streetcar (check out the second graphic down here) is ever realized it would be hugely successful. Connecting natural destinations like downtown, the airport, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Marquette University, and Miller Park will ensure ridership in a way the original route does not. More important, in can turn Milwaukee from a car-city to a public transit city. That idea may seem abstract, but I do not think it coincidence that the cities most successful at attracting young people (and their entrepreneurial energy) are easy to navigate via predictable public transportation.
Which leads to my third point – having tracks in the ground creates route permanence. Nobody (that I know of at least) opens a business or buys a home because it is near a bus line. As we've seen in Milwaukee bus routes can and do change frequently. Route changes are much less likely when there are tracks in the ground, making it more likely that people will invest near lines.
Fourth, building the streetcar demonstrates that Milwaukee is willing to take risks and boldly invest in its future. And the streetcar is a risk, especially with its current route. But without taking this risk the city will never get the broader system streetcar advocates are smartly emphasizing. I admit part of my support for the streetcar is emotional Milwaukee boosterism; a major diverse city like Milwaukee ought to have a major diverse transportation system.
The shame about all these years (decades?) of debate over the streetcar is that it could have been so much more productive. Maybe if we were not mired in argument over the existence of fixed rail there would have been agreement on a better and/or broader route. But regardless, the streetcar still has huge upside, and I am hopeful the boldness and persistence of advocates will pay-off in the years to come.

Quotation added by staff
Is there something in trade that desiccates and flattens out, that turns men into dried leaves at the age of forty? Certainly there is. It is not due to trade but to intensity of self-seeking, combined with narrowness of occupation. Business has destroyed the very knowledge in us of all other natural forces except business.Chapman, John Jay

- Studio: Focus Features
- Release Date: Jun 22, 2012
- Starring: Adam Brody, Keira Knightley, Melanie Lynskey, Melinda Dillon, Patton Oswalt, Steve Carell
- Summary: Set in a too-near future, the movie explores what people will do when humanity's last days are at hand. As the respective journeys of Dodge and Penny converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks – if not the world's – brighten. (Focus Features)
- Director: Lorene Scafaria
- Genre(s): Sci-Fi, Drama, Comedy, Romance
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 21 out of 36
Mixed: 12 out of 36
Negative: 3 out of 36
100It's more amusing than you might expect, and ultimately more touching than an eroding society around them deserves.
80Perhaps the best thing about Seeking a Friend is that it never ceases to surprise, as Scafaria's script consistently defies Hollywood convention in the most congenial ways.
60The whole movie is a good try.
38Has its laughs, but pretty much every single one of them is in the trailer. And even more unfortunately, the improbable new romantic comedy team of Steve Carell and Keira Knightley works about as well as you'd guess - like oil and water.
Score distribution:
Positive: 25 out of 35
Mixed: 7 out of 35
Negative: 3 out of 35

Miami-Dade police shot a teenage boy four times in the back on Monday morning, leaving him in critical condition and bringing up more questions over gun violence in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting earlier this year.
Officers opened fire on 16-year-old Sebastian Gregory after he allegedly reached for a baseball bat in his belt when an officer told him to "show his hands."
Gregory was taken to Kendall Regional Medical Center where doctors surgically removed three bullets from his middle to lower back, leaving one still in his spinal cord. He remains in critical but stable condition as several of his organs were affected, including his liver, lungs and colon.
