Though you can use the Fantastico tool to install Drupal, sometimes Fantastico may not have the most up to date version. If you wish to install the newest update you will need to do so manually. This two part article shows you how to manually install Drupal 7 onto your account. For the first part, we will focus on setting up the database and getting the base files uploaded properly. The second article will focus on the initial configuration of the Drupal 7 software.
The steps below are for those using cPanel software on their hosting account. If you have a hosting account with a provider that does not use cPanel, please contact them on how to properly set up a database on your account.
Creating a database and user for Drupal to use
- Log into cPanel
- Go to MySQL Database Wizard and click on the icon
- Type in the database name and click next step
- Fill in the username and password for the database user and then click the Create User button.
- From the privileges assignment page, select "ALL PRIVILEGES" and click "Make Changes"
- Write down the database name, database user, and password you created as you will need those details later in the initial site configuration.
Downloading and Uploading Files to your Account
- Go to https://drupal.org/start and click on the link to download the latest version
- Select the version you want to download and click on the "zip" format
- Extract the files from the zip file you just downloaded
- Using a FTP program like FileZilla, upload the contents of the folder that was just created. Do not upload the /Drupal7.12/Drupal7.12/ folders. You only want to upload the contents of the folders to your destination. If you are uploading to the root of your main domain, you would place it in the 'public_html' folder. If you are looking to add it to a subfolder or addon domain, then it would be under that specific folder name, such as 'public_html/subfolder'.
At this point, you're ready to finish configuring your Drupal installation. Please see our next tutorial for part 2 of the Drupal 7 manual installation on finishing the installation and configuring Drupal.
If you need further assistance please feel free to ask a question on our support center.

The New Scientist recently had an article by Debora MacKenzie on resilience and the Euro. She writes:
… The diversity of a network's components and the density and strength of its connections – called its connectivity – affect the system's resilience, or resistance to change. More connections make a system more resilient: if one component fails others can fill in. But only up to a point. Go past a certain threshold and more connectivity makes the system less resilient because a single failure can cascade to every other component.
The trick is to get the balance right. "Cascades of failure may be controlled by changing the nature and strength of the links between various parts of the networks," says Fisher. Much current research in complex systems focuses on assessing connectivity correctly to enable that. Other work aims to detect behaviour that indicates an imminent collapse.
So turning 17 separate currencies into one eurozone was a cascading failure waiting to happen?
Yes. That is why Greek debt is a crisis, even though Greece accounts for only 2.5 per cent of the eurozone's GDP. News of its debts caused the trust that markets placed in Greek government bonds to plummet. Its creditors are mainly in the eurozone, so a Greek default is causing markets to lose confidence in other members, such as Italy – which is too big to bail out.
Debt crises can have far-reaching consequences not just for governments and financial institutions but also for individual borrowers. When faced with overwhelming debt, individuals may feel helpless and trapped, unsure of how to move forward. This is where debt clearing services such as moorcroft debt recovery help can be beneficial. These services can provide guidance and support to help individuals manage their debts and work towards becoming debt-free. By taking control of their finances and working with debt recovery experts, individuals can avoid the negative consequences of debt, such as legal action from creditors and damage to their credit scores.
Could the crisis have been avoided?
Complexity theory shows what went wrong. Yaneer Bar-Yam of the New England Complex Systems Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, says his still-unpublished studies show that investors profited by driving down the value of Greek government bonds, triggering the crisis. And, he suspects, they have now moved on to Italy. If instead of national bonds issued by sometimes weak economies, the eurozone had one common bond backed by powerhouses such as Germany, such an attack could not have happened.
Germany rejects eurobonds. But, says Bar-Yam, complex systems such as multicellular organisms show that "if you are going to accept common risk, you have to invest in defences that extend to the weakest member". Either that or make sure an attack on a weak member cannot spread, a technique that ant colonies have perfected: the death of a single ant has little effect on the colony as a whole. "Biology has solved this problem several ways," says Bar-Yam.

Community Based Dentistry Rotations
Student experience
The rotation provides off-campus service-learning experience through engagement in a diverse array of public health activities. The majority of the student's time is spent treating patients in a variety of community health centers and rural private dental practices throughout the state of Oregon working with OHSU-affiliated volunteer clinical faculty in their practice site.
While on rotation students also participate in activities conducted by other OHSU community partners. Examples of other activities include direct involvement in practice-based research, school-based preventive and educational programs, and oral health policy advocacy to state and local-elected officials or regulatory bodies.
Background and rationale
It is estimated that 24% of Oregon children and 20% of children nationwide, 6-8 years of age, experience untreated tooth decay for no other reason than a lack of access to a dentist. Untreated dental caries in children can lead to sleeplessness, loss of appetite, shortened attention span, compromised nutrition, and orthodontic space discrepancies as a result of premature loss of deciduous teeth (baby teeth).
Approximately 66% of adults in Oregon experience premature tooth loss as the result of decay or advanced periodontal disease. In adults, the health consequences of untreated dental pathologies can lead to unnecessary pain, chronic infection, and in some cases death from acute infections.
Research has established that dental education programs which place emphasis on public health issues graduate dental professionals who are more willing to participate in the development of solutions to address the oral health needs of underserved populations. Moreover, service learning has also been established as a valuable educational method for nurturing a sense of community responsibility in health professional students. By developing collaborations with targeted community organizations, OHSU School of Dentistry can provide off-campus service-learning opportunities for students that promote awareness of the complex issues involved with addressing the oral health needs of the entire population.
As part of the curriculum, each student must complete a personal and professional development report which provides an opportunity for reflection on the impact of the community-based experience. These reports lay the foundation for the students life-time professional development, commitment to service and community collaboration and ensure awareness of the comprehensive and complex nature of health care for vulnerable populations.
To assess the impact on the community, OHSU School of Dentistry monitors and analyzes patient interactions including number of patients treated and procedures performed as well as gathering input from the providers at the site.
As a result of this program, the School of Dentistry expects to graduate practitioners with a strong commitment to treating underserved populations and the skills to be leaders in their communities. Moreover, by extending the walls of our institution throughout Oregon, we not only tap into a wealth of diverse clinical experience but also get directly involved in helping communities address their most pressing problems with access to dental care.

Marvell's ARMADA: Custom Designed ARM SoCs Break 1GHzby Anand Lal Shimpi on October 19, 2009 8:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
Intel used to be an ARM architecture licensee until 2006, when it sold its XScale division to Marvell. Intel had grown too large, too defocused, and in turn its core business had suffered. Don't be confused, the focus wasn't to be shifted back to desktop, but rather back to x86.
It wouldn't be until 2008 that Intel would reveal its more focused strategy unto the world: Atom.
Intel's Atom processor core
While ARM and its licensees played off Atom as not being remotely threatening, all of them knew that it was only a matter of time. Publicly they reasserted ARM's dominance in the market. Four billion ARM chips shipped last year alone. Intel sold on the order of tens of millions of Atoms. But privately, the wheels were in motion.
ARM inked a deal with Globalfoundries, AMD's manufacturing arm, to bring ARM based SoCs to the fab. This gives ARM the sort of modern manufacturing it needs to compete with Intel. The second thing that's changed is ARM licensees are now much more eager to talk about their architectures and what makes them special.
ARM offers two licensing arrangements to its partners: a processor license or an architecture license. A processor license allows the partner to take an ARM designed core and implement it in their SoC. An architecture license allows the partner to take an ARM instruction set and use it in their own processor. The former is easier to implement, while the latter allows the licensee the ability to optimize the architecture for its specific needs.
The Palm Pre - Powered by ARM
Companies like Samsung and TI hold ARM processor licenses. The Cortex A8 used in the iPhone 3GS (Samsung) and the Palm Pre (TI) is licensed directly from ARM. Marvell however has been an ARM architecture licensee for the past 5 years.
It's an ARMADA
Marvell is introducing a fleet of new SoCs (system on a chip) and the brand is called ARMADA. Get it?
Marvell is introducing four series of ARMADA and their target markets are below:
|ARMADA 100 Series
|eBook Readers, digital photo frames, portable NAV devices, etc...
|ARMADA 500 Series
|MIDs, netbooks
|ARMADA 600 Series
|Smartphones, MIDs
|ARMADA 1000 Series
|Blu-ray players, TVs, set-top boxes
These are SoCs so they've got CPU, GPU, I/O and networking all included on a single chip. The entire ARMADA line is built on TSMC's 55nm process. The 100 is super low performance, useful in eBook readers, digital photo frames, IP cameras, etc... The 1000 is a multi-core version of the 100 with additional blocks designed for Blu-ray players, digital TVs and HD set-top boxes.
Both the 100 and 1000 are based on Marvell's Sheeva PJ1 ARM core. This core uses the ARMv5 instruction set like the ARM9 processor, but performance-wise it should be comparable to an ARM11 implementation.
It's a single issue in-order core with data forwarding support. The core is a hybrid between the original Marvell CPU team and the XScale CPU team that Marvell acquired in 2006. The pipeline depth is between 5 and 8 stages depending on the instruction group.
The core has two separate ALUs (simple single cycle and complex two cycle), a load/store unit and a multiply unit. The ARMv5 instruction set doesn't explicitly require floating point so there's a separate coprocessor for all fp operations. Integer SIMD is handled through a separate Wireless MMX2 unit.
Marvell wouldn't reveal die sizes but indicated that the PJ1 is comparable to ARM11 based designs in both size and power characteristics.
The more interesting SoCs are in the ARMADA 500 and 600 families. They use the Sheeva PJ4 core, Marvell's answer to the Cortex A8.
The ARM Cortex A8 is an in-order, dual issue microprocessor with a 13-stage integer pipeline clocked at around 600 - 800MHz today. Marvell's PJ4 core implements the same ARMv7 instruction set, but the architecture is much different. It's still an in-order, dual issue core but the integer pipeline is 6 - 9 stages depending on the instruction.
The shorter pipeline apparently doesn't come at the expense of clock speed. Through the use of some custom logic Marvell is able to deliver clock speeds greater than 1GHz.
Both L1 and L2 caches are supported, just like the Cortex A8.
The biggest issue I can see with Marvell's PJ4 is that it doesn't support ARM's NEON SIMDfp instruction set. Marvell argues that Wireless MMX2 penetration is higher than NEON. Given the limited use of Cortex A8 in the market today, I don't see a lack of NEON compatibility as a major issue for now but it could be one down the road depending on developer uptake.
On paper the PJ4 would appear to have much higher IPC and clock speed than the Cortex A8. Marvell was unwilling to share any power or performance data at this time, so it remains to be seen exactly how well Marvell's architecture competes in the real world but on paper, at a high level, it looks good.

nofumble62 - Friday, October 30, 2009 - linkReading on a 5 inch screen is just suck. I used my kid's Ipod Touch, and it killed my eyes. The younger generation will all wear glass by 20. Brainwash your kids to be the Eye doctor.
RinksCustoms - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - linkWhile Parallax's 8 Core microcontroller (the Propeller P8X32A) has been out since '06 with each of its internal processors each having dedicated video hardware, it's been limited to the code it could run. But looking back at it now, looks like the industry either came to the same logical conclusion OR seen a little peek of what a small company from CA could do with their very own architecture. Although the Propeller cant run like an x86 chip, it can interface with standard keyboard/mouse and output standard video composite, s-video, broadcast (analog), or VGA while doing other functions, i have seen its limitations, and it usually comes down to two things, not enough i/o pins and on board memory.
But we see where this idea is leading with onboard video and PCIe controllers being integrated on new and next gen intel CPU's
iwodo - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkI was hoping Marvell would make a faster SoC for NAS. Current implementation could not fully utilize the Gigabit Bandwidth.
While Intel Atom has been performing much better, although at the cost of Power.
PandaBear - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkI just have to say the author of the article is so misinformed about ARM.
It is not intended to be a General Purposed PC processor and the main market is embedded device inside ASIC. Some of these ASIC have multiple ARM inside.
The benefit of ARM is small code size and power consumption, processing power density, rather than absolute power.
You can build an ARM CPU inside an ASIC and together they cost 14 cents or less. Try that with atom and see how much it cost.
Marvell's main market has been doing well for a long time: power efficient ASIC for hard drives, networking, and other market. It is not really a direct competitor with Intel. The deal with Global Foundry is just like with any other foundry.
ProDigit - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - linkWith Atom VS ARM I meant the ARM which is focused on netbooks, not the other ones.
I'm active a lot on netbook forums,and perhaps forget to mention I'm talking about them.
I'm less interested in a MID device, because I believe it does not have a level of comfortability to type, and their screensize is terrible too!
I don't know why many manufacturers are trying to cramp the whole PC experience in a cellphone!
All I can say to that is that it's surely not comfortable, small keyboard, too small screen (can't even see a regular google search page, without having to go for the mobile one), processing power is too slow to successfully display flash movies or other movies, and their battery life is often too low to spend 2 hours on the internet,at speeds similar to a 56k modem or 112kbps ISDN connection.
Those are my thoughts about the matter;I prefer a cellphone for calling only, with an agenda, and alarm clock. The rest is added cost and bagage to me!
Then a netbook for all the standard tasks like internet, and small apps.
But that's besides the point of the article.
I honestly see no future in this MID market. It's a gadget market people will grow tired of very soon I believe.
Unless one device does it all with respectable battery life, like being an MP3/WMA/OGG player, with built in camera, and act as a cellphone, while keeping a 7day battery charge, many of these gadgets will be considered luxuries not needed.
And especially the excitement factor of a crippled Internet on the go on a cell's screen is pretty low I'd say!
strikeback03 - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - linkSee, I'd say MIDs are more useful than netbooks. A netbook is too big to fit in any pocket, which means I would need some type of a bag, and at that point I'd just go for a more powerful ultraportable that could also function as a real laptop. I don't try to use the internet on my phone for watching videos or other things I do on a real computer, it is for quickly looking stuff up on the go. What I would like to see is far better battery life though, I can easily kill the battery in my Diamond with a decent amount of texting plus random other usage in a day.
Affectionate-Bed-980 - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkI don't think Anand's that clueless about the mobile market, but a lot of users here are PC enthusiasts as am I. However I've followed the mobile market for years be it the Symbian, WinMo, and now iPhone, Palm, BB scene.
Too many people go OMG INTEL's ATOM is the next big thing. However it was Intel's attempt to scale down Centrino/Core architecture into netbooks. It's not for the mobile arena just yet. ARM is building up meanwhile and NVidia has demoed Tegra + GeForce doing amazing things. Netbooks might be able to be powered by Cortex A9s soon enough.
Anand's focus on a CPU this time is very good. I don't like it when he jumps into analyzing the mobile market, especially from a US iPhone fanboi perspective. It really distorts things.
The0ne - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkI have to agree that ARM is not a direct competitor at this point in time. However, if Intel penetrates more of ARMs market there would be little doubt that it is in direct competition even if the hardware is different. I don't see this happening anytime soon as well. We use ARM in our products for the reasons you've describe. Cost and code size. You really can't beat that :)
Next year should be fun with the technology :D Can't wait!
Voo - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkWe all know, that Intel at least in the long term wants to penetrate the smartphone market (and similar things like ebooks as well?) and I'm rather sure that the ARM chips in a iphone or palm pre cost more than 14 cents.
Sure that's only a fraction of the whole market, but I'd think it's rather lucrative..
Voo - Monday, October 19, 2009 - linkWe really need a edit function..
Can someone explain to me, why the codesize should be smaller with a smaller instruction set than a larger one? I'd think it should be the other way round, but I'm clearly not the expert here.

Brandon Weeden is older than the average rookie due to a minor-league baseball stint before a return to football. That's why it was funny when a Browns' program accidentally listed him at 129 years of age. An actual discrepancy in Weeden's football career, however, is much more telling of how veteran-tastic he is. Back in April, Rivals.com wrote up small blurbs on the players taken in the first round of the NFL Draft. As you can see in the image below, everyone has clickable pages to see more of their football stats and recruiting information—everyone, but Weeden.
Searching for Brandon Weeden does return one result: a wide receiver from Mandeville, La. from the class of 2009. Not the one we're looking for. So if you want quarterback Brandon Weeden's high school stats, I don't know, try contacting his alma mater, Edmond Santa Fe High School? Go Wolves!
One final note: yesterday was Brandon Weeden's birthday. He is now a mature 29. Happy belated, Brandon!

IPSWICH, Mass. — A swimmer who vanished off a Massachusetts beach was found safe and sound Tuesday after treading water for 4 1/2 hours. Randall Hackett, 58, and his 28-year-old son-in-law, Alexander Auerbach, had decided to swim part of the 4-mile distance of Crane Beach in Ipswich around 5pm Tuesday, report the Salem News and WCVB.
Both are strong swimmers, and they were clad in wetsuits, but family members were nonetheless concerned when neither had returned to shore after an hour and a half, per ABC News.
Shortly after family members reported the pair missing, Auerbach was found on the beach around 7:30pm, about a mile south of the men's starting point, but he said he'd lost track of Hackett because of rip currents and heavy fog.
For two hours, the Coast Guard, police, and fire department combed the water before rescuers using an infrared camera aboard a helicopter spotted Hackett treading water a quarter-mile offshore, per WCVB.
Hackett was plucked from the water around 9:30pm and returned to the beach, where he walked into his wife's arms. "The fog was so thick you couldn't even see your hand," says Hackett, who was taken to a hospital as a precaution.
"I made the decision to try and conserve energy," he adds, noting he clung to a buoy for a time. "I thought I could survive until morning." On Facebook, police called the rescue "a tremendous effort … in difficult conditions and rough waters," while the Coast Guard warns water conditions are getting worse as temperatures drop.

This configuration is a little different because the table is used to support one end of the tube and channel and both the tube and channel extend over the end of the table so children can push the sand out of the tube and channel into the tub below.
Little construction vehicles are added because they fit nicely into the tube and channel and create a different type of play with moving the sand with front loaders and bulldozers.
If you look at dimensions to the right again, the cardboard divider is an open apparatus with vertical walls. The tube in the apparatus introduces a horizontal and closed dimension and the plastic channel adds an horizontal and open dimension.
What does that mean for play?
It offers opportunities for focused play in an individual space on a different level with a different dimension. The child below is playing with the truck and bulldozer on a level six inches above the bottom of the table. Now he can play on two levels in the same space. In addition, he is operating on a horizontal open plane. That naturally restricts his motor movements on that plane.
The child below is scooping sand with her hand from the tube. This is a horizontal plane that adds a closed dimension to the apparatus. How far can she move her hand when she scoops the sand? And how far into the tube can she reach to scoop the sand? She, too, can operate on two different physical levels. Actually, there is a third level with the tube when you see the tube as two separate levels: in the tube and on the tube. Both the channel and the tube offer motor experiences on a horizontal plane. The tube also offers motor experiences that are altered by the open/closed nature of the tube.
If also offers new challenges for transporting the sand both through the window and through the tube.
It also offers new opportunities for social interaction.
And it offers new opportunities for role play.
Children will explore all the spaces you give them. Their exploration lays the groundwork for knowledge of spatial relations. It almost sounds like math!

Industrial Automation Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2024
12 Jan, 2017, 12:09 ET
NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Industrial Automation Market: Overview
Industrial automation is defined as the amalgamation of all machinery, processing systems, test facilities and factories which became automated because of great technological progress. The global market is poised to grow at a substantial rate during the forecast period because of the growing economy across the globe.
Global Industrial Automation Market: Drivers and Trends
The strong growth in the CNC technology segment is driving the global growth of the industrial automation market, especially in the Asia Pacific and Europe region. Industrial automated products are manufactured in large varieties, each differing from another based on automation type, instrumentation, flow computers, analyzers, operation, and geography. The industrial automation market has been globally emerging to be a relatively more attractive space for investment by organizations across the world. The usage of robots in industrial controller mechanisms is an established trend. Thus it paves the way for larger adoption of the industrial control and industrial automation equipment. In spite of this, the development of the global industrial automation market is affected with massive threats in some regions all over the world, considering the fact that the method caters to human labor replacement with machines and computers.
Global Industrial Automation Market: Restraints
The decreasing human interface in many of the processes is resulting in loss of jobs in many of the industries which in turn is hindering the growing adoption of industrial adoption systems. However, with several innovative studies revealing the ability of industrial automation to generate jobs in the other ancillary segments, such as after-sales services, automation system installation, and software development for the management of industrial automation, some concerns are dispelled.
Global Industrial Automation Market: Opportunities
The largely used parts in this market are actuators, proximity sensors, flow meters, servo and DC motors, industrial communication systems, and robotic arms. Escalating frequency of factories is moving ahead along the automation path, and the incidence of automation devices such as PLCs, PCs, and PACs will become even more common in the coming years. While the opportunities for industrial automation branched from the developed economies of the west, it is presently taking industrial units of the Asia and South America regions by storm. Factor owners look out for factors such as quicker response time and faster output when they invest in factory automation.
Global Industrial Automation Market: Segmentation
On the basis of various automation types, the global industrial automation market is segmented into distributed control system (DCS), programmable logic control system (PLC), machine vision system, manufacturing execution system (MES), human machine interface (HMI), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), product lifecycle management (PLM), plant asset management, computer numerical control (CNC) routers, electronic control units (ECU),and other types. Among the automation type segments, the PLM segment constituted the biggest market share, followed by MES, in 2014. On the basis of end use industries, the global industrial automation market is segmented into automation and transportation, metals and mining, oil and gas, pulp and paper, hydro power, energy and power system, chemical, material and food, measurement and instrumentation. There is rapid growth in demand in the environment and building technologies, heavy industries, and other segments. The global market for energy and power systems is one of the major factors that are driving the demand for industrial automation industry, globally.
Global Industrial Automation Market: Regional Outlook
In terms of regions, the global industrial automation market has been segregated into five geographical zones: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA), andSouth America. Currently, Europe holds the major share of the market, followed by Asia Pacific, North America, Middle East and Africa, and South America. The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to grow swiftly with rise in trade with North America and Europe.

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Location: Alaska
Established: December 2, 1980
Size: 13,188,000 acres
Even in a state famous for its size, Wrangell-St. Elias stands out. It is by far the largest of our national parks—almost six times the size of Yellowstone. You fly over it and see mountains beyond mountains, glaciers after glaciers, rivers upon rivers. You float a river and watch the moods and mountains change by the minute. As you walk the tundra, you find Dall's sheep and mountain goats grazing.
Four major mountain ranges converge here: the volcanic Wrangells, the Alaska, the Chugach, and the St. Elias—tallest coastal mountains in the world. Together they contain 9 of the 16 highest peaks in the United States, 4 of them above 16,000 feet. There are more than 150 glaciers; one, the Malaspina, is larger than Rhode Island. In 1980 Wrangell-St. Elias and adjoining Kluane National Park Reserve in Canada, along with Glacier Bay NP and Tatshenshini in British Columbia, were designated a United Nations World Heritage site.
Vast and rugged as it is, the park is not a fortress. Two roads lead into small communities, remnants of the gold- and copper-mining towns that thrived in the early days of the 20th century. Today not mining but the nearly limitless hiking, rafting, kayaking, and climbing opportunities beckon.
How to Get There
Drive, take a bus, or charter a plane. By car from Anchorage, take Alas. 1 (Glenn Hwy.) 189 miles northeast to Glennallen. Continue northeast 74 miles along the Copper River and the park's western boundary to Slana, where an unpaved road branches 42 miles into the park, ending at the town of Nabesna.
Or, head toward McCarthy on the Richardson Hwy. from Glennallen 32 miles southeast to the Edgerton cutoff (Alas. 10), then turning left and continuing 33 miles to Chitina. There the pavement ends but a road follows an old railroad bed about 60 miles into the park. Buses run regularly in summer from Anchorage to Valdez with stops in Glennallen.
Air charters into the park operate out of Anchorage, Fairbanks, Yakutat, Cordova, Glennallen, Gulkana, Tok, Chitina, McCarthy, Nabesna, and Northway. Commercial jets service Yakutat and Cordova. In summer, the Alaska State Ferry serves Valdez and Cordova.
When to Go
Summer. Lodges and guide services operate in the park from mid-May to the end of September. June is best for wildflowers; July has the warmest days; berries ripen in August. Be prepared for cloudy skies, but September can be beautiful with clear skies, autumn colors, no mosquitoes, and a dusting of new snow on the mountain peaks. March and April offer excellent cross-country skiing for those of strong will.
- Nat Geo Expeditions
How to Visit
Take one of the two unpaved roads into the park. The McCarthy Road is maintained and usually passable in summer, though a four-wheel drive may be needed in other seasons. Stop at park headquarters in Copper Center for latest road conditions. The Slana-Nabesna Road is also maintained, including some river crossings, but can require four-wheel drive in high water. Both roads end at trailheads for many backcountry hikes.
Or, charter a plane into a remote part of the park and hike or run a river. Several commercial companies offer guided rafting or kayaking trips on the rivers and in the spectacular coastal bays. You can get a full listing of them from the park.

Google and Apple have been named in a lawsuit relating to the use of Google Maps' Street View on the iPad and iPhone.
According to PaidContent, PanoMap Technologies LLC, a Florida company, has filed a complaint (PDF) against both companies in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. PanoMap claims that the use of Google Maps' Street View on the iPad and iPhone violates its patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,563,529.
The patent describes an interactive system for "displaying detailed view and direction in panoramic images."
Here's the abstract:
"A method and system for indicating the camera position, direction, and field of view in a map or panoramic image comprises a map image window which displays a map or panoramic image of the site to be studied (house, apartment, city, etc.). A detailed view window displays a portion of the map image, taken from a point in the site. A highlighted sector in the map image represents the viewing position, direction, and field of view that the detailed view window displays. When the user changes the field of view in the detailed view window, the highlighted sector in the map image changes in synchronism. The resulting interactive windows allow a person to easily and quickly view and understand the field of view, position, and direction of the image being displayed in the detail view window."
The patent was initially obtained by Jerry Jongerius, then transferred to Empire IP, and then transferred again to PanoMap Technologies in February 2012. Lawyers for PanoMap did not answer PaidContent's request for comment on whether the company actually makes mapping technology or is just a copyright troll and/or shell company.
PanoMap appears to be linked to Atlanta-based CSA Inc., which makes laser scanning technology. However, an executive from CSA wrote to PaidContent that "CSA owns the PanoMap mark, but is not suing GOOGLE/APPLE. Incidentally, CSA has filed a patent application a year ago — technology we have been developing for a decade or so."
In the complaint, PanoMap alleges that Google and Apple "import, make, use, sell and/or offer for sale … products, systems, and/or methods for displaying a detailed view of an area within a territory, including synchronized map displays indicating direction, origin, and angular direction, that infringe the 529 Patent."
Apple's "Infringing Instrumentalities" include the "iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices," while Google's include "Google Street View, including Street View functionality available on Apple's Infringing Instrumentalities, as well as through the World Wide Web."
The lawsuit also claims that Apple accessed "www.duckware.com/pmvr/index.html," a website operated by Jongerius, the original patent owner, on July 8, 2007.
PanoMap is, naturally, seeking triple damages because the two tech giants allegedly knew about the patent before violating it.

Bengals 34, Packers 30: Crashing down
CINCINNATI — Everything came crashing down at once.
Josh Sitton was trying to get dressed while trying to explain what had gone so bizarrely wrong during Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Green Bay Packers tell-it-like-it-is left guard was doing a pretty good job of it, too. Then he reached up for his beat-up pair of cowboy boots and all his belongings went flying – his pricey headphones, Top Gun aviator sunglasses and his tattered baseball hat to the Paul Brown Stadium visitors' locker room floor, his iPhone and tin of chewing tobacco into his locker.
It had been that kind of day.
"I'm pissed," Sitton said – referring to dropping the game, not his possessions. "I don't like losing games – I don't like losing games we should've won. We could have done a lot of things different to win that game. And we didn't.
"We had opportunities the entire day to get in the end zone and we didn't. We just didn't make as many plays as them. And we had plenty of frickin' opportunities. That's frustrating. We thought we had those guys on the ropes, and we thought we could have scored every time we touched the ball. And we didn't."
Instead, the Packers (1-2) lost one of the more kooky games they've played under coach Mike McCarthy – "It's definitely one of the most different games that I've had to call in my time," he said – and now head into their unusually early bye week wondering how they could go from a 14-0 hole, to seemingly in control at 30-14 with 5 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter, to defeat.
For while the decisive play for the Bengals (2-1) came when Packers rookie running back Johnathan Franklin dove over the line of scrimmage on fourth down and ended up coughing up a fumble that Cincinnati safety Reggie Nelson – and, after Nelson fumbled, cornerback Terence Newman – returned a combined 64 yards for the go-ahead touchdown, that was just one of several violent momentum swings in the game.
From Jeremy Ross fumbling a first-quarter kickoff, to the Bengals turning the ball over on four consecutive possessions, to quarterback Aaron Rodgers throwing interceptions on back-to-back series after not throwing two interceptions in a game since the 2010 NFC Championship Game in Chicago, to Franklin's game-turning fumble, the game was downright weird. All that was missing was that drunken interloper who ran onto the field during the fourth quarter of the teams' 2005 meeting and stole the ball out of Brett Favre's hand late in the game.
"It was a crazy game, back and forth all day, and when it came down to crunch time and making plays, they made a couple more than us," Packers inside linebacker A.J. Hawk said. "It was a battle the whole game. I think once we had that momentum, we needed to find a way to stay with it and we didn't. They took it back and ran with it."
That they did. In fact, the Bengals became the first NFL team to win a game after surrendering 30 unanswered points since Sept. 12, 1999, when the Dallas Cowboys gave up 32 straight points to Washington but won, 41-35, in overtime.
"It was a frustrating game. Down 14 – we spotted them 14 – scored 30 in a row and then they scored 20 in a row to finish it. Disappointing," said Rodgers, who went from a career-high and franchise record-tying 480 passing yards last week to completing 26 of 43 passes for 244 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and four sacks (64.5 rating). "You feel like you gave the game away.
"Offensively, we had a lot of turnovers. I played poorly. And the defense played well enough for us to win. We should have come out of it with a win."
If they had, it would have been a remarkable victory given the adversity they were facing. Not only were playing with only two healthy running backs – James Starks and Franklin – with starting running back Eddie Lacy (concussion) and fullback John Kuhn (hamstring) each sidelined, but they lost Starks to a right knee injury late in the first half, lost tight end Jermichael Finley to a concussion when he was drilled on a seam route on the Packers' first true possession and lost star outside linebacker Clay Matthews to a hamstring injury, which he suffered while forcing his second fumble in as many series in the second quarter.
"It's very frustrating especially in the manner in which we lost and to be on the sideline and feel as if you could've impacted the game," Matthews said, adding that he has no doubt he'll be back for the team's post-bye Oct. 5 game against Detroit. "It's obviously very difficult, but it's part of the game. I don't like it, but we'll correct our mistakes, we'll move forward. Our record is not going to change with the bye week, but we've just got to get this thing moving in the right direction, and we will."
It seemed the Packers were doing just that after Ross' fumble led to BenJarvus Green-Ellis' 2-yard touchdown run made it 14-0 just 5:52 into the game. Cornerback Sam Shields got the comeback started with a phenomenal interception of an Andy Dalton pass intended for A.J. Green, even though the Green Bay offense went nowhere and had to settle for a 41-yard Mason Crosby field goal – the first of a number of squandered opportunities.
The Packers failed to turn the Bengals' next turnover, a Jermaine Gresham fumble forced by Brad Jones, into points, and the defense took things into its own hands on the next turnover, with safety M.D. Jennings scooping up Green-Ellis' fumble after Matthews' hit and returning it 24 yards for a touchdown that cut the lead to 14-10.
Matthews then did a Superman leap to strip Dalton on the next series, but despite taking over at Cincinnati's 21, all the Packers got out of it was a quarrel between Rodgers and McCarthy, and another field goal. After Starks picked up 11 yards on the first three plays and a holding penalty set them up with first-and-goal from the Cincinnati 5, Rodgers rolled right and threw incomplete on first down. Then, on second and third down, he made animated gestures toward the sideline after Starks got 2 yards on second down and a designed rollout on third down turned into Rodgers scrambling short of the goal line. FOX Sports' cameras caught Rodgers and McCarthy arguing once the quarterback got to the sideline and Crosby's 19-yard field goal trimmed the lead to 14-13.
"I had called a play in a certain situation and he was frustrated by it," McCarthy explained. "I feel good. One every three weeks (with such a disagreement) would be awesome."
All that was prologue to the game's stunning twists and turns. The defense forced a three-and-out punt to set up the offense with a 2-minute drill to close the half, but yet again, the Packers drove inside the Cincinnati 5-yard line but only had a field goal to show for it. (Green Bay finished 2 for 4 in red-zone opportunities on the day.) Still, it gave the Packers a 16-14 lead at the break.
Taking the ball to start the third quarter, the Packers went 80 yards in nine plays – with help of two Bengals penalties, including one for roughing the passer – en route to Franklin's 2-yard touchdown run and a 23-14 lead. It went to 30-14 on Rodgers' 7-yard TD to James Jones.
Then, everything fell apart. The Bengals went 65 yards in 1:40 to pull within 30-21; Rodgers threw his first interception on a pass to Jones; Mike Nugent missed a 52-yard field goal; Rodgers threw his second interception on a pass down the sideline for Randall Cobb; and the Bengals pulled within 30-27 – on Marvin Jones' 11-yard TD.
Even then, though, all wasn't lost. Datone Jones blocked the extra point, leaving the Packers up 3, and with 10:55 left, Rodgers and the offense dinked and dunked their way down the field, chewing up clock like they had with a 7 1/2 minute drive to ice last week's victory. After converting a pair of third downs, they faced third-and-12 and Rodgers hit Cobb with a quick throw and Cobb stretched for the first down. The officials initially gave him the first down, but when Bengals coach Marvin Lewis challenged the spot and won, it was fourth-and-inches at the Bengals' 30.
McCarthy contemplated a 48-yard field-goal attempt, then decided to go for it. Without Kuhn, Lacy or Starks to give it to, he decided on Franklin, who leaped and was hit by Michael Johnson. Nelson initially recovered it, then was hit by Cobb and fumbled it forward, allowing Newman to scoop it up and run for the go-ahead score.
"With the challenge, obviously you had plenty of time to think about it. (I) probably overthought it because my initial thought was to kick the field goal," McCarthy said. "I'm paid to make those decisions. When they go wrong, I'm responsible."
Even so, the Packers had the ball with 3:47 to go and moved from their own 20 to the Cincinnati 25. On third-and-5, Carlos Dunlap batted Rodgers' pass at the line. Faced with fourth down after calling timeout, Rodgers had Jones open to his left, but rookie left tackle David Bakhtiari missed his cut block on Johnson, who tipped the ball and ended any chance of a comeback.
"It was a game of momentum — momentum swings, adversity — and it clearly swung Cincinnati's way in the fourth quarter," McCarthy said. "You've got to give them credit. They played excellent defense down the stretch."
And the Packers?
"It's bad. It's not a good feeling," Bakhtiari said. "We're the Green Bay Packers and we're 1-2 right now. I'm just a rookie, I just got here and I can tell it's not something that they're used to, that they're not comfortable with and they don't like."

WK Payerne
The same procedure as every year...
For the beginng of the last Airshow season I have chosen to go to the Payerne Open Doors display. The report about last year can be read here. Hearing some rumours about special acts that year I have been very eager to go there! And I have not been disappointed!!
Where? Payerne - Switzerland
When? 25/04/2003
Being the same procedure as last year, getting up early, a long drive through the beautiful Swiss countryside.... the day has nevertheless been full of surprises!!
The Payerne Open Doors is not meant to be an Airshow at first stage but is more of a family day for all the families of the recruits becoming soldiers that same day after their military training.
So you can relax and check out all the activities going on the morning. Aircraft exhibition in one of the hangars and at the outside (Mirages III S and RS, Tiger, Hornet, Hunter, Aloutte and Super Puma) or the demonstration of the rescue forces. But I've gone there for the jets, so I took a place near the runway and photographed all the F-5 Tigers and F/A-18 Hornets during their training sessions, including the special marked F-5 Tiger J-3093 "Bye Bye Turtmann Airbase".
In the afternoon the long awaited flight display began. First off all everyone could watch the preflight preperations and checks for the Tigers which took off shortly afterwards, together with the PC-7 Team and F/A-18 Hornets.
The opening act have been the 4 parachutists that jumped out of a PC-6 Turbo Porter. Shortly afterwards came the first surprise and highlight of that day: the 9 aircraft of the PC-7 Team in an arrow formation, followed by the F/A-18 Hornet !!! What an impressive sight... Passing the showcenter the Hornet performed a powerful vertical climb into the sky and began its solo demo.
Having finished it a a 4-ship F/A-18- and a 5-ship F-5-formation performed a fly-by. The Aloutte with a rescue demo and the Super Puma with a water bombing emo and an excellent flight display followed.
The other highlight has been the Mirage III RS fly-by. Of course the two plane have been the 'Black&White' Mirages, and the arrived doing the best they can: arriving low and fast, ~800 km/h at 300ft... Three fly-bys of them followed giving the possibility to take some more photos of this stunning colorscheme.
The last official act has been, of course, the Patrouille Suisse with their second display of this airshow season. Some formation changes have not yet been that precise, but nonetheless they did very well and showed three new elegant formations.
To finish this nice day severla oldtimers took off into the sky over Payerne to celebrate the opening of the opening of the new military aircraft museum (Musée de l'Aviation Militaire de Payerne). These were namely a Bréguet 14, Devoitine D-26, Pilatus PC-3, Bücker Jungmann and Jungmeister and the Hunter trainer.
Once again this has been an excellent day and I am really looking forward to the forthcoming Airshow season with some more reports for you!

IR/LED DefenceTwo popular methods of robot sensors are infrared emitter/detectors and photoresistors with reflective LED's. To counter these sensors, you need to coat your robot in an IR/visible light absorbant paint. Make sure the paint has a rough coat, as a shiny coat is more reflective. I used black acrylic paint, but I didnt test it to see how well it works. Another popular sensor used is the Sharp IR Rangefinder. This sensor is significantly more immune to surface color, but it will still have some decreased accuracy.
zap it with a stun gun
Remember that glass acts as a mirror for IR rays. The disadvantage being that glass is brittle.Also, you could have infrared lights pointing all over the place, confusing the other bot.
What about my own sensors? Wouldn't it get confused by the same IR lights?
Hi,Synchronize. Just like the MGs in old war planes that shot in between the propeller blades. Without the synch, they would have shot themselves down.
Or, you could use IR reflecting material and build the outsides of your bot at a 45 degree angle. So any IR that hits it will go straight to the ceiling.
Any idea on what that material might be? Simple glass would do it? What about a mirror? Isn't that better? Any suggestions?
You know, using static electricity to fry the internal electronics of a bot would be an interesting battle bot weapon.
Eh, I don't know, experiment and see. Take some materials, stick it in front of your TV remote control, and see if the TV changes channels. Then try to reflect the IR off of the material to change the channel.

Andrew Auernheimer, known online as "weev," has won an appeal against his conviction for exploiting a vulnerability in AT&T's website to collect the email addresses of Apple iPad users. The 2010 incident earned him a 41-month prison sentence.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit overturned the verdict on Friday, finding that the venue where Auernheimer was charged and prosecuted was not appropriate because the alleged offenses did not happen there. It did not consider the other grounds for the appeal.
In June 2010, Auernheimer, a member of a Web security group called Goatse Security, together with a man named Daniel Spitler, exploited a vulnerability on the AT&T website to collect the email addresses of 114,000 new Apple iPad owners who had registered their devices with the telecommunication provider.
The men found that the AT&T website automatically completed a log-in form with email addresses that were associated with SIM card serial numbers (ICC-ID) passed through a URL. The men built a program that took advantage of this feature to extract the email addresses of AT&T iPad users by submitting random ICC-IDs in what was essentially a brute force attack. The two men then contacted various media organizations to make the security issue public.
Spitler and Auernheimer were charged in Newark, New Jersey, with identity theft and conspiracy to violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). Spitler pleaded guilty and received probation, but Auernheimer unsuccessfully fought the charges in a jury trial and was sentenced to 41 months in prison, a sentence that he began serving in March 2013.
Auernheimer's defense team, which included Hanni Fakhoury, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, argued that accessing a publicly available website does not constitute unauthorized access to a computer system under the CFAA and that he shouldn't have been charged in New Jersey.
On Friday, the federal appeals court agreed that the venue for the case hadn't been appropriate and ordered Auernheimer released from prison.
"Although this appeal raises a number of complex and novel issues that are of great public importance in our increasingly interconnected age, we find it necessary to reach only one that has been fundamental since our country's founding: venue," the appeals court said in a written opinion. "New Jersey was not the site of either essential conduct element. The evidence at trial demonstrated that the accessed AT&T servers were located in Dallas, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia. In addition, during the time that the conspiracy began, continued, and ended, Spitler was obtaining information in San Francisco, California, and Auernheimer was assisting him from Fayetteville, Arkansas. No protected computer was accessed and no data was obtained in New Jersey."
In a statement on the EFF site, Fakhoury said that Auernheimer's prosecution "presented real threats to security research" and that he hopes the appeals court's decision will reassure the security community.

And the award goes to the thing happening in the below picture for being one of my biggest running pet peeves. Such a hard life.
For close to 15 minutes my Garmin was trying to locate satellites and it kept getting to the point that it looked like it was just about to find them and then it would go back to just a half of a bar. I waited waited waited and then just finally started running and after a while it found those darn satellites up there in outer space. I am sure the fact that it was incredibly cloudy this morning had nothing to do with it.
I met up with Bangs Friend for our run together and like usual we had a good time together talking the whole time.
The best part was when we saw a raccoon, cat and seagull on the side of the trail just hanging out together. I know I don't have a picture to prove it but Bangs Friend was also a witness to this awesome animal gang.
I feel extremely loved by the tweets/emails/texts/comments that you guys left me concerning National Donut Day. It makes me so happy that on such a special holiday you would think of me.
Brooke and I hit up Krispy Kreme first thing this morning to celebrate.
Another one of the huge benefits of having a child is that Krispy Kreme will give you a donut for free for them too but Brooke can't possibly eat a whole one on her own so I will have to help her out:)
We are going CAMPING this weekend. Not just ordinary camping but beach camping. I have been waiting for this day for months. Today we went and got some of the necessary supplies.
I was a little better at sharing this sample with Brooke.
My lunch consisted of a ginormous salad. You've seen my mixing bowl salads before so I will spare you another picture.
And now we are packing up the car and getting ready to go camp!!
Tell me about one of your running pet peeves?
Who celebrated National Donut Day!!?!?!?
Why are you excited for this weekend? Tell me 2 fun things you are going to be doing!!

[tab:Intro][flagallery gid=8 name="CrunchGear Gift Guide 2009″]
We're only about five weeks away from Christmas, so now's as good a time as any to talk about (drum roll, please) e-books. Amazon kick-started the e-book market (with apologies to earlier e-book readers) with the introduction of the Kindle in the fall of 2007. Two years later, Barnes and Noble, IREX, and Sony announced new or updated e-book readers of their own.
The question becomes, which e-book reader is right for you? The truth is, they're all very similar, so it should come down to what books their compatible book stores carry. Oh, and price, of course.
[tab:Amazon Kindle]
Amazon Kindle: Starting at $259 (Amazon.com)
The elder statesman of the current crop of e-book readers, the Amazon Kindle is now in its second iteration (putting aside for a moment the Kindle DX, which isn't exactly a "traditional" e-book reader, if such a thing even exists). As the name suggests, it has the full backing of Amazon—you may have heard of it—which should ensure that it'll stick around for a while. You can find it on Amazon.
• Compatible with e-books (and magazines and newspaper) purchased from Amazon. There's some 360,000 books available, so odds are you'll find something you like.
• 6-inch, non-touchscreen E Ink display. Very legible, believe me.
• Free 3G wireless data access. That means you don't have to be tethered to a computer to add new books to your device.
• It now works in more than 100 countries, including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Japan, Australia, and Brazil.
• Holds up to 1,500 books simultaneously.
[tab:Barnes & Noble nook]
Barnes & Noble nook: $259 (BarnesandNoble.com)
Yes, the nook is written in all lowercase letters, so accept no substitutes. It, along with the Kindle, is destined to become one of the two biggest e-book readers available. It's backed by the enormity of Barnes & Noble, and all that that entails, has a color scroll bar at the bottom (color = huge when it comes to e-books), and seems to do just about everything right… It'll be available in a few days (currently scheduled for a November 30 release) from the Barnes & Noble Web site and brick-and-mortar stores.
• 6-inch E Ink display, with color touchscreen navigation bar along the bottom. Note that the screen itself isn't in color, just that navigation bar.
• Free 3G and Wi-Fi.
• Works with the Barnes & Noble e-book store, which has "thousands" of books.
• Enough storage space to hold around 1,500 books, plus a microSD card slot in case you need more space.
[tab:Sony Reader Daily Edition]
Sony Reader Daily Edition: $399.99 (SonyStyle.com)
Sony has been in the e-book business for a while now, but the Daily, as it's called when brevity is an issue, is the company's latest attempt to make these things finally "click." As of this writing (November 19, 2009) it's not actually available yet, but Sony says it will ship in time for Christmas. (It's available for pre-order right now.) The following is based on what Sony has already publicly announced.
• Compatible with more than 40,000 books from places like the New York Public Library and overdrive.com. (Interestingly, not all of Sony's partners have been revealed yet.)
• 7-inch, touchscreen E Ink display.
• Free 3G wireless data access. Again, no having to be tethered to a computer to download new content.
• Supports a whole host of file formats, including Adobe PDFs (hello, alt.binaries.books!), Microsoft Word documents, and MP3/AAC audio.
• Thanks to the touchscreen, you can take notes on it like you would a regular notebook. Might be handy.
[tab:IREX DR800SG]
IREX DR800SG: $399.99 (IREXReader.com)
This little guy was the first e-book reader announced to include support for the Barnes & Noble e-book store. It has the biggest screen of the lot, and manages to check all the right boxes. Its name is woeful. Like the Sony Daily, it's not available yet, but will be at Best Buy and online in a few weeks.
• 8.1-inch, touchscreen E-Ink display (but it uses a stylus, so…)
• Compatible with the Barnes & Noble e-book store, along with Newspaper Direct and LibreDigital.
• Free 3G wireless, plus Wi-Fi.
• Unique navigation via left-hand side bar.
• If you want to support the future, IREX has already said that it's working on a full-color e-book reader that it intends to launch next year. It's the only manufacturer to commit to releasing a color reader just yet.

Police And Prosecutor Debunk Fox Claims That Recent Crimes Were Racially Motivated
Fox News has recently engaged in racebaiting by baselessly claiming that a Florida student's beating on a school bus and the shooting of an Australian college student in Oklahoma were racially motivated. But police and a prosecutor involved in these cases debunked these claims during interviews on Fox.
In early August, a video of three teenagers beating another student on a school bus in Florida spread across national news outlets, and an August 6 report from the Orlando Sentinel noted that the attack was in retaliation for the victim notifying school officials that the three teens tried to sell him drugs. But Fox News took a different angle. Since all three of the alleged perpetrators are black, and the victim is white, Fox repeatedly claimed that race was the motivating factor for the attack. On August 9, Fox host Steve Doocy bragged that it was Fox News that brought race "to the forefront" of the story.
But the day before, Fox had interviewed the police chief of the town where the beating occurred. During the interview, Gulfport Police Chief Robert Vincent said: "The race difference between the victim and the defendants in this case is purely coincidental, there is absolutely no indication that race was a motivator in the attack."
Instead of learning from their mistake, Fox News hosts also baselessly insisted race was a factor when reporting on the tragic death of Christopher Lane, an Australian attending college in Oklahoma. Because Lane was white and two of the three suspects charged in connection with his shooting are black, Fox presented this crime as having a racial bias. On the August 21 edition of Fox & Friends, the hosts demanded to know why President Obama, Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson hadn't commented on the case, an attempt to connect this crime to the killing of Trayvon Martin.
Once again, an official involved with the case debunked the network's assertions that race was a factor in this crime. On August 22, Fox News host Greta van Susteren interviewed local District Attorney Jason Hicks, who said that with all of his evidence for the case, he had nothing to "indicate that the killing of Christopher Lane was related to either his race or to his nationality."
How many more crimes will Fox News falsely charge are motivated by race?

TAMPA, Fla. -- The delayed opening of the Republican National Convention worked to the advantage of the GOP by both heightening anticipation and forcing the elimination of extraneous speakers, which there are always too many of at these things.
Ann Romney kicked off her primetime address wearing a bright red dress, Ronald Reagan's favorite color and one occasionally worn by his wife, Nancy. Ann Romney immediately addressed one of the main criticisms Democrats have leveled against her husband: that he's an out-of-touch rich guy who doesn't understand the struggles of the middle class and the poor.
Like many other convention speakers who referenced the convention's "We Built It" theme, Ann Romney noted that neither she, nor her husband, nor their parents started out successful. Of her marriage, she said, "We got married and moved into a basement apartment. We walked to class together, shared the housekeeping, and ate a lot of pasta and tuna fish. Our desk was a door propped up on sawhorses. Our dining room table was a fold-down ironing board in the kitchen. Those were very special days."
She also made a direct pitch to women. Polls show Mitt Romney trailing President Obama with women. Looking directly into the camera, Ann said, "I love you women! And I hear your voices."
New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie may have surprised some people who had expected him to deliver a rhetorical carpet bombing of President Obama. Mostly, though, he took the higher road.
In what might have been a pre-emptive strike against the Democrats who meet next week in Charlotte, N.C., and who appear preoccupied with abortion and contraceptives, Christie addressed the problems of the nation. He called for shared sacrifice and bipartisanship to solve the nation's growing debt caused largely by entitlement programs. Christie cited his success in New Jersey, which he said has "700,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans."
Christie rejected the notion that seniors care only about themselves and not their children and grandchildren and the uncertain future of entitlement programs that await them when they retire.
Christie implied Democrats were more interested in being popular and loved than in repairing the economy. That keeps them, he said, from saying no to any request for more government spending. Christie said Romney would "say 'no' when 'no' is what's required."
While there was talk of "ideas" from many of the speakers, this was an opening night less about ideology and more about a serious appeal to their fellow Americans to do what most people know instinctively, if not in actuality, must be done: We can't go on spending as if there is no tomorrow, or there won't be and America will become a second-class country.
"Our ideas are right for America and their ideas have failed America," said Christie. Democrats may argue that point, but the evidence is on the side of the Republicans.
Voters want to know if they give power to Republicans again in this election so soon after the last time the party held all three branches of government whether things will be different. Will Republicans actually fix entitlement programs, create more jobs and do the hard things Christie spoke about? Or, will Republicans simply manage big government, cutting a little here and a little there, which will have no lasting effect on government growth?
Perhaps Mitt Romney will, like Ann, make his own "solemn commitment" to do these things in his acceptance speech Thursday night. Americans are wary of politicians who make grand promises (as President Obama's poll numbers suggest). But now is the time for not only grand promises, but also grand solutions -- Republican solutions.
Christie said at the end of his speech that we can make this a "second American century." We can, but the question is less about our ability than our willingness. That is what the coming election will determine.
