Chemistry students co-author major study in a top science journal
February 24, 2010
A study co-authored by three Lewis & Clark students appears in the February 24 edition of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Lila Forte B.A. '09, Marie Lafortune '10, and Irena Bierzynski '11 conducted the study with Professor of Chemistry Jim Duncan. A collaborative effort from its very inception, the project dates back to February 2008, when Forte drafted a research proposal under Duncan's guidance.
"I had suggested a broad topic for Lila to research, asking her to look up everything that was known about the topic of so-called 'pseudopericyclic reactions' and propose how we might demonstrate one using the computational method in which we specialize," Duncan said. "She came up with what I considered to be such a great idea that I suggested that she and Marie work on it as their Rogers' research project during the summer of 2008. Remarkably, within two or three weeks that summer, Lila and Marie had demonstrated the viability of the idea. Lila went on to pursue it further for her honors in chemistry thesis, and then Irena completed the research in the summer of 2009."
The team's article, titled "CASSCF Molecular Orbital Calculations Reveal a Purely Pseudopericyclic Mechanism for a [3,3] Sigmatropic Rearrangement," appeared online in January.
Duncan assisted the group in writing the study, but said the students performed all the calculations themselves.
"They used high-level computational methods, such as CASSCF, to uncover a novel pseudopericyclic rearrangement reaction with two orbital disconnections," Duncan said. "Pseudopericyclic rearrangements involve cyclic transition states in which there is at least one orbital disconnection in an otherwise orbitally connected, in other words pericyclic, array of interacting orbitals."

Bobby Shuttleworth learned a lot from his former teammate Matt Reis. With Reis now retired, Shuttleworth is hoping to build on a solid 2013 season, take what he learned from Reis and become the No. 1 goalkeeper in New England. Nicholas Mendola of NBC Pro Soccer Talk has the story here.
The SBI Show celebrated its 100th episode with some pretty big name guests, including defender Andrew Farrell. Take a listen as Farrell discusses the 2013 season that was and what he's expecting in 2014.
Andrew Wiebe and the rest of the MLSsoccer.com staff named Diego Fagundez the Breakout Player of 2014 in their "Best of 2013" series. After a great season in 2013, the experts expect Fagundez to continue the climb towards becoming one of the best attackers in the league.

Salsa is dance music that's mostly popular in Cuba and Puerto Rico. The origine of the name 'Salsa' is initially originated in New York City in the 70's. Salsa is a music style that comes from the American Jazz and Cuban Son. Nowadays the music is played all over the world but it has achieved the most popularity in Latin-American countries. Besides de son, salsa is also related to other South-American music style like Merengue, bachata, bolero and so on. Every Salsa song has a specific rhythmic motif where dancers and musicians can orient themselves to. There's also a specific dance for this genre , namely the Salsa dance. A salsa band mostly consists out of instruments like timbales, bongo's , congas, saxophone, trumpets piano and of course claves. The more modern bands sometimes use a keyboard instead of a piano. The lead singers in a salsa band are called soneros, rumberos or pregoneros. The first band that mostly played salsa songs was the Joe Cuba Sextet. Marc Anthony is a famous Salsa musician that a sold the most records in the Salsa genre. He has won 2 Grammy awards and even 4 Latin Grammys. The singer has already sold more than 12 million albums all over the world. Other musicians that played an important role in this music style where Celia Cruz, Ray Baretto and Willie Colon. Celia Cruz was one of the singers who had a huge impact in the salsa world. Before she became a solo artist she was a part of Sonora Matancera. After Fidel Castro became prime minister she left the country for the United States where she had a big career. After her solo career she became a member of Fania All-stars. This was a salsa band including the best salsa musicians like Ray Baretto, Hector Lavoe and many more. Different subgenres that emerged from salsa are: - Salsa romantic - Sala dura

January Jones stripped her body and her soul during a photo shoot for digital magazine Violet Grey.
In addition to posing for photographer Ben Hasset for a nude-meets-stylish shoot, the Mad Men star divulged secrets about her personal life, including which celebrity she would be willing to have sex with.
Asked about the greatest night of her life, the 36-year-old actress said it was the day her son was born. Jones went on to skip a question about the favorite gift she's ever received, claiming it was "too personal to share" and later admitted she received more attention as a blonde than as a brunette or redhead.
Asked whom, living or dead, she most wanted to go to bed with, Jones responded that either Paul Newman or Rihanna. As for her real opinion of Jon Hamm, the actress called him "funny but also dark" and her friend. Jones also declared that her most valued beauty product was her night creme and confessed she'd love to be able to keep Betty Draper's Movado watch when Mad Men wraps up.

Of course, it hasn't always been that way. In the late 1960s, in the midst of the Vietnam War, as the women's movement burst upon the world, militant feminists symbolically scaled the landmark female sculpture in the middle of New York harbour, cast off their bras, lit them afire, then hurled them in women's liberation at Lady Liberty's feet. The arts, ostensibly the most sympathetic segment of society to such a revolutionary protest, appeared to welcome the movement with open arms; even though behind the scenes, in Europe, the Far East, even within the SOHO lofts and the gallery walls of this country, men continued to dominate every aspect of the art world; at most paying lip service to women in the arts with token retrospectives of O'Keeffe, Frankenthaler, Nevelson, or Cassatt.
As late as 1981, a London exhibit called The New Spirit in Painting included no female artists. A year later, in Berlin the Zeitgeist Exhibition representing some forty artists included only one woman. In 1984, at the opening exhibit of the Museum of Modern Art's remodelled galleries, an international collection of over 160 artist showed the work of only 14 women. That same year, another New York exhibition of Expressionist artists had the work of only two female artists amongst the 22 males. In response, a group of female artist banned together to form the Guerrilla Girls. They protested with posters and full-page ads the injustice of relative price differences for the work by male as opposed to female artists. And before we comfort ourselves in thinking, that was then, this is now (pardon the pun), as recently as five years ago, a New York Times Magazine cover pictured the "art all-stars" of a noted New York art dealer. Of the eleven artists pictured, not one was female or of ethnic descent.

To the editor:
I want you all to know the members of American Legion Post 503 are the most wonderful people I have ever met.
This past Christmas they had a dinner that was unsurpassed and delicious. My lady friend and I enjoyed the dinner, which the all-volunteer staff served. You did not have to have supper after you ate what they served.
Again, the people of Post 503 are the greatest. Semper Fi.

This super simple recipe has become one of my favorites (and Bryan's too I think). Its from the "So Easy" cookbook by Ellie Krieger. You really have to give this a try and best part, the original recipe almost 100% naturally gluten free. The only substitution I have to make is instead of orzo pasta, I use either white or brown rice
Garlic-Basil Shrimp by Ellie Krieger
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 pounds shrimp (20-25 per pound), peeled and deveined (I used tail on frozen shrimp)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or more to taste
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup finely chopped basil
salt and freshly grounded black pepper, to taste
3 cups of brown or white rice (original recipe calls for whole wheat orzo pasta)
Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, then add the shrimp and cook, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the oil remaining in the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the wine and cook over high heat stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and basil and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Return the shrimp to the pan and cook just until heated through. Serve with rice (or orzo).

Instead of being sent to the junk yard to rot and die, rubber from used tires was given a new life in these odd black bowls.
Created by Dutch industrial designer Debbie Wijskamp, the collection is called "Black Ruby." They're made from recycled rubber powder formed into little pebbles that are glued together with a polyurethane binder to make waterproof and totally weird housewares. And who knows, maybe your next dinner plate was actually once the wheels of your last car. [Inhabitat via LooksFeelsWorks via Design You Can Trust]

A GIGANTIC hay barn in the centre of the Grand Palais, with Chanel written across it in huge wooden letters, was the setting for Karl Lagerfeld's latest incarnation for the French fashion house this morning.
There were rumours that Lily Allen was going to be performing live at the show – no sign of her yet, but as we made our way through the straw-strewn hall we saw plenty of other starry action: Claudia Schiffer and Prince were in the front row, just a few seats from Natalia Vodianova who had a gorgeous little blonde girl on her lap, and Chanel regular Virginie Ledoyen.
Chanel's version of a roll in the hay was a pretty stylish affair – much softer than last season, the clothes comprised pale pink, black and white silk ribbons that had been woven into tweed jackets with ragged edges, pale tan patchwork suede skirts and fluffy woven chiffon jackets that featured a touch of sparkle at the edge – and carried random strands of straw with them.
It wasn't sickly sweet though – the tweed mini skirts were slit right up to there on both sides, while jackets were fastened down both side seams with metallic beads. Heeled clogs may well be on the style agenda as a result of this morning, and Chanel continued the trend that began in Milan for bags that claim to be made of raffia (but are in fact the softest, most pliable Nappa).
Lacy hold ups came under short lace dresses that were black overlaid in white or gorgeous neon peach overlaid in cream, while tattooed thighs and the odd pair of super-skinny acid washed jeans (modelled by Karl himself when he took his bow), kept the emphasis on rock stardom as Primal Scream yelled Rocks at us.
Broderie anglaise jackets, that puffed at the shoulder and over the hips, and rusty orange wool suits that featured bronze buttons all down each arm, were classic, desirable Chanel, while springy trapeze miniskirts made flirty numbers of party dresses and the occasional Quaker-style headscarf brought the central theme back to the forefront – though models pretended to use their Blackberries on their way around the barn as if to prove that these clothes were meant for the modern day.
Suddenly the floor started to rise and there was Lily after all, playing live amongst the hay with her band in situ wearing Chanel spring/summer 2010. It was such a fashion moment - to see Natalia bopping in the front row while Prince looked on, absolutely expressionless – that we almost forgot the clothes that continued parading around her.
They were beautiful, delicate and incredibly chic – pale gold and blue chiffons were appliquéd with spring flowers; taffeta black and white dresses were deliciously pretty and then Lara Stone appeared as the Chanel bride with a chiffon veil and two grooms - all of whom fell upon each other in the hay as Karl walked past to bow.
No matter how serious he is about fashion, he wants us to enjoy ourselves next summer.

If France bans hydraulic fracturing in shale gas drilling, could it happen here?
According to an Associated Press report today, "France's lower house of parliament has taken a first legislative step toward banning a controversial gas and oil drilling technique that critics fear could contaminate ground water." The French Senate will address the issue June 1.
I've written about the controversies swirling around "fracking" several times, including in March and January, noting on each occasion that Colorado has never confirmed a single instance of fracking fluids migrating into water wells from where they were first injected.
That's not to say the verdict on safety is final. But the facts hardly seem to justify the fears that some environmentalists seem determined to fan – let alone the drastic vote in France.

when instead of the single-line modifier form of
if really makes me happy. (Yes, I know
when is available in 5.10, but that's not the idiom I'm comfortable using in Perl 5.)
There's only one problem: this isn't actually usable in Rakudo yet. I might have the
$*IN part incorrect, but I changed it to use a filehandle for input and print out each line of the file it read during the for loop. And when I ran it on the 10 meg data file I needed to analyze, it just sat there. I believe it was probably trying to read the entire file before doing anything with it, as laziness isn't implemented yet. Between that and Rakudo's lack of speed, the script was a no-go, and I ended up rewriting the script in Perl 5.
PS Before actually posting this, I actually ran the Perl 6 version to completion and timed it. 88 minutes. That's versus less than a second for the Perl 5 version. In fact, I actually wrote and executed the Perl 5 version in considerably less time than it would have taken to just run the Perl 6 version. Also (as sharp eyes may have noticed), I forgot that spaces in regexes are ignored in Perl 6, so the Perl 6 version was in fact incorrect. Getting a working version would have required at least another 88 minutes of sitting there....

I thought the sunglasses deserved a closer look
Wednesday, June 4, 2014
50 comments
Like her shorts and floaty top. She looks like a pro on how to beat the city heat.
yep, perfect summer-in-the-city look. also, her hair!
Great combo!
Kisses from http://www.withorwithoutshoes.com
nyc looks like hot and humid taipei right now! :)
Could someone please explain how these deserves a closer look? Maybe I don't have that 'fashion eye' or whatever but they look like run of the mill gas station sunglasses to me, or worse; novelty shop, 60s glasses.
Oversized Lennon glasses…to offset the minimal garments, working it nicely.
I completely agree. The fact that the sunglasses are from a gas station doesn't elevate the look to me. I suppose its good that she didn't spend a lot for them. But they don't look any better.
This lady will have no trouble with humidity, that is for sure. Lower half looks too much like underwear though. White cotton shorts or capris maybe might have fit better. Must be tough with no bag or pockets.
Your thought was right, they are very nice !
Great shorts, and lovely sunglasses! She's stunning!
xox, Gap.
Wow amazing look. The sunnies look so rad!
xx Mira
That is one cool chick. Coveting her sandals.
Carelessly chic. Wonderful
Cool photos.
Love the printed shorts and her hair is AMAZING.
So many cool casual New Yorkers lately! :) xx
Real eye catching sunglasses and they looks so good on her!
Awesome hair an matching eyebrows (full / thick in the middle of her face and very thin at the sides). And also like the way her shirt is cut, shorter at the front revealing a little skin. Nice one.
I love this photo she looks so chic and those glasses are spectacular.
Her hair deserves a closer look! Very cool.
Chic and relaxed from head to toes. The portrait is great!
Pure style!
her shorts are lovely! x
Those shorts are awesome! They're free people from a few seasons back. I wore mine to shreds. Love the outfit!!
I love this pic! Love her style and the way she is behaving in front of the camera!
She looks like a fabulous fashion illustration.
Agree, very paintable. The dewy skin is almost surreal.
she's got style !!! I love how she can look amazing with a simple outfit !!
Only for the very young.
P.S. I love her hair cut !
Very light and cool for NYC. I would like to see her in aviators.
Love the sandals!!
Really great photo and perfect outfit.
I love the fabric that her top is made out of. I wonder what it might be?
Great look! I love how comfortable it all looks so she'll be able to stand the heat with style. Go go!
Wow! she looks like an illustration. Perfection!
Great style.
the sunglasses do deserve that closer look, but the haircut too!
Shorts, sandals and sunnies are all really cool!
Love your shorts so much and sunglasses are awesome!
The hair is nice but looks like a lot of work every morning. I love the lipstick though. And the sun glasses reveal how extremely beautiful her nose is.
I'm in love with those shorts!
She has an incredibly strong face too.
Love her jewelry!
I take that back. The sunglasses are sleek
Hmmm…I guess NY is the place where wearing pajamas in public is considered fashionable. Her head all together is very neat and pretty looking though – hair/sunglasses and all.
Bang on, girl. Bang damn on!
Such a perfect summer outfit! Would look perfect with this bone coral necklace: https://www.etsy.com/listing/94209780/bone-coral-necklace-handmade-statement?ref=shop_home_active_20

Can a president who's elected on a promise to be normal deal with Europe in the throes of a crisis of abnormality?
With France's Francois Hollande taking office, an all-star panel debates "Mr. Normal" and how the politics will reverberate across Europe in this excerpt from the past week's "Fareed Zakaria GPS." Watch the video above.
And is Germany taking too much of the anger? Here's what Josef Joffe, Die Zeit editor, had to say:
ZAKARIA: Josef Joffe, you know that much of the rhetoric and the anger is directed at Germany. The idea is the Germans are forcing all this austerity on Europe, European governments having forced to cut their budgets. It's causing misery, unemployment. It's even causing bigger budget deficits.
But you've sort of defended the German position, isn't it fair to say?
JOSEF JOFFE, EDITOR, DIE ZEIT: Well, I mean, Angela Merkel makes for a nice whipping boy for problems which are deeply rooted in the societies that we've just heard about [France, Greece, Spain]. ...
The problem is that the rest of Europe is ganging up on Germany and that German economic miracle, the export miracle, which everybody is complaining about, has a very simple reason. German unit labor cost didn't rise almost at all. In the last decade, it went up by 35 percent in Italy, same number in the Iberian countries and it went through the roof in Ireland.
One last point, the Irish, who went through the roof, they had 50 percent increase in unit labor cost have now come down to just 25 percent increase. So, in other words, it can be done if you put your mind to it.
The Europeans do not have to be Subservient to the German Government, but do not expect them to Loan them anymore Money till they pay off the debt they have already incured with them.
It's only Southern Europe that is ganging up on Germany. Germany is not only exporting but imports a lot from Scandinavia and Holland. It is matter of producing quality products that can compete with the German products. It is very simple but Southern European countries are doing that. Workers in Nothern Europe does not want pay anymore for goverment workers in Greece and Spain retirering at 60.
Retirement in Spain is now at 67. Please stop prejudicing latin people.
Sorry about the mistake but I'm not prejudicing anybody and as a European only looking at economics. Living in Northern Europe I paid over 50% in tax and a lot of the money went to Southern Europe for "infra structure investments". Second of all people born in Spain are not latin people and the prejudicing of latin people is an American phenomenon.
If you're hostelling then you'll also want a sleep sack (somebody aealrdy recommended one). Definitely take the time to shope around a bit and get a good lock for your luggage, and maybe even get a second lock for hostel luggage lockers. If your budget is really that small, any amount of theft could really set you back, so it'll pay to be a little extra careful.Since you won't be in hotels, go to your local supermarket or drug store and look for the aisle with sample size toiletries. Everything there is ideally sized for travel travel-sized toothbrushes & toothpaste, shampoo, shaving cream, and travel toilet paper all sorts of stuff.
also, if you're staying in hoelsts, you could save a lot of money buying a sleepsheet. i think i got mine at REI, but it's basically a sleeping bag liner that gets pretty small, that way i didn't have to pay for sheets or sleep on sketchy ones . other people have suggested just sewing a sheet (or even just folding one over) works well too. definitely earplugs and an alarm clock. i'd also bring a small padlock as most hoelsts have lockers but then you have to rent the locks.
"Is Europe Ganging Up On Germany"
That's a switch, eh? 🙂
The countries blaming Germany have no one to blame but themselves! They're the ones spending beyond their means with huge deficits. That's why they're crying about austerity, they are too dependent on their governments for handouts. Governments are stupid- they need to create productive jobs for their people, that's how they can influence their economies. They should focus on the basics, like clean energy, increased food production, better transportation etc.
Bush's speech writer screws as much as his boss. Spain's unemployment is 50 %. Which planet are you on? It's 24 plus % and less than 25 %. Do your homework before you go on a national television and make a complete fool of yourself.
This is ironic. Usually it's been Germany beating up Europe.
It might not be a good idea to antagonize Germany. They do not have a long history of playing well with others.
Germany.....the Goose that lays the golden eggs. Slain for Greece, Spain and Italy ???
Work hard, get an education. Raise your children to do the same and do not have more children than you can afford (see education)... Why is this so hard to understand?
All the children of Europe don't like being told to grow up by the only adult country in Europe.
In Europe they convinced you that Europes woes are due to too much helping the poor. I dont know how, did they drug you? We all know how a new treatment of debt or way of treating the legal obligation of the debtor to pay a rent on owed money and their obligition to return the principal, caused a new and totally strange situation that did for the markets of the whole world, or a combination of deregugulatirn of the financial world with a new way of dealing with the benefits of lending money were the things that had unepected and pretty fatal consequences on the worl dmarkets. The new way of making money out of debt was by selling on the right to recieve the interest the debtor promised to pay in return for the money he was lent to third parties. Though we all know this, in europe they managed to argue things round in circles till the fault of the financial crisis became to much socialism during the last thirty years, and that when the last thirty years were the years of ideas that opposed socialism rising to have more weight than socialist ideas did,. They were the thirty years in which ideas that opposed socialism had their first success, with Mrs Thatcher, who came into power in 1975 turning, ideas that did for socialism, from ideas into policies, she put in place policies that are now famous for being part of the Republican agenda, such as deregulating, most especially deregulatingthe financial world or a more flexible labour market, something that has now been the bane of Spainish workers for at least twenty years, other policies of hers were privatisation, and breaking the back of the unions.
Europe was not only cool and spin doctor enough to leave you with the impresion that the problem was socialism, the virilance of socialism, virulence that started thirty years ago and Germany and France are the countries with most Greek debt, so presumibly the countries that made most money out of it in the years in which the markets were making so much money out of debt that all they wanted was to convince more people to take out loans, credit worthy or not, but also they made you forget the recent history of America, it was thirty years ago that Ranieri, Finch and Maxwell, "All the Devils Are Here", Bethany Maclean and Joe Northeras, and designed the new way of dealing with IOUs that lead to the financial crisis. You know it was not socialism, much more virulent in the twenty years of my chidhood previous to the last thirty years that created the present crisis, it was the deregulaiton of the banks and the ideas of Ranieri, Fink and Maxwell that did indeed start thirty years ago, that created the present propblems althoug innocently enough thirty years ago, with the ideas of the IMF ideas that made sure that we did not cilmb out of the problems, caused by deregualtion and cdos, playing their part and their ideas are also the result of idealogy of the right.. Socialism started many many years before thirty years ago.thirty years ago marked the start of the decline of socialist policies.rose macaskie madrid.
Well – I can't afford to buy "The Zeit" or any other newspaper! Mr. Joffe has a neo-konservativ view from left side, (not really much better as the one from the right)! He told in an Amanpour interview that Mrs Merkel will be chancellor for a further four years, and this view shocked me! But telling this has one reason: Why doesn't he himself, stand for beiing the whiping boy? No he needn't suffer anything! All youth and young people are sold with low wages in busy and stressy working conditions! Be young and successfull and without any reasons not to work. They were raised in times without crises, without war and and everything was getting better steadily. People like Herr Joffe are old now, but talk about success, permanently like climbing up a ladder, they keep their highly paid job long and longer – It's very convinient not to go out of the way and rule with grey hair! It is nice to belong to the happy few, regretting in loyality with the ones in power, but too easy! (We should cut his pensions, probably! Only if your own ass burns, you feel they are talking about fire.....)
It is my sincere honor and privilege to register my heartfelt thanks for the program GPS, your perspectives on issues and the comments are very enriching. i can only say you are simply put one of the heroes and ginuises of our time. please coninue the work. you make simple complex issues of our time thateven the simple can understand.

It's impossible for countries like Greece with its super early retirement age, record low tax paying and nearly half unemployment to be successful regardless of what Germany or ANY of the other European countries do
It IS Greece's fault, nothing more to it
, get sturdy pistalc cutlery. The Rick Steves store (travelstore.ricksteves.com) has very good pistalc cutlery for $5.-Small travel alarm clock. Get the most compact one you can find. They'll run you about $20. However, if you're taking your cell phone, you can nix this idea and just use your cell phone as an alarm clock.-Plug adapter. Most chargers for electronics (like cell phones and digital cameras) can handle both 110 & 220, so all you'll need is a simple plug adapter.-Money belt and locks for luggage. Don't lock the luggage before you get on the plane, though, or the TSA will kindly remove it for you. -And don't forget Pepto Bismol tablets and small packets of handi-wipes, which are indispensible when on the road.Regardless of my travel budget, those last four items on my list are ALWAYS packed.

Apple is tracking ME?!? Should I be worried or flattered?April 22nd, 2011 by Russell Viers
I read an article yesterday, which led me to read more articles yesterday, about the tracking device inside the iPhones and iPads. I think the most informative one is here on WebProNews.
According to the articles, the new OS4 software creates a file which tracks where you've been and then syncs it to your computer as in unencrypted file that anyone can get to.
Really? I gotta try this.
There is a free app named "iPhone Tracker" which you can quickly download and install on your Mac. Upon launch, the app finds this file and creates a map of the globe and shows where you've been.
I could see right away that it only tracks cell traffic, not WIFI, as none of my international stops in the last three months were showing.
As you can see, all that's showing is a bunch of travel in the Midwest United States…so I zoomed in.
I found it interesting how it wasn't showing locations where I know I have been and know I used the 3G function on my iPad.
In the last three weeks I've spoken in Saratoga Springs, NY at the New York Press Association Convention and in Norfolk, VA for the Virginia Press Association Convention. Neither are showing as spots where I've been, although you can see my trip from Nashville to Bowling Green, KY with multiple dots along the way between them.
If I zoom in on the Midwest, where I live a lot of the time, you'll see a lot of traffic between Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Kansas City. But along the way are dots in cities I've never been and no dots in cities where I know I've spent a few days. Lamar, MO, for example, doesn't have a dot anywhere near it, yet I was there for two days in the past three weeks.
It's obvious that the tracking device only picks the tower nearest, but I would think there would be other towers along the way to show a real path…towers closer to the route than what it does.
Look at Joplin, MO, for example. I NEVER stop in Joplin, MO (we'll save those stories for another time). Yet if you look at the map of Joplin, it would appear I've been there a lot…and all over town.
When I go through Joplin I always stay on I-44 East to US-71N. You can see my only route in red. And yet look at all the dots which would imply I've been elsewhere…and notice they are very much on a grid pattern. But further north, in Carthage, nothing…and there's nothing on the map until Kansas City.
So what does this mean? I don't know, I just had fun playing with it.
But it does make you think a bit, I hope. What DOES this mean? Is Apple using it to pick new locations for stores based on iPhone and iPad usage? If so, you have to chalk it up as one brilliant tool for market research by a company. Can you imagine tracking devices in Nike Shoes to see where there is a huge clientele that doesn't have a local store to serve them? What about…well…any product that has stores in major cities and is wanting to branch out. Tracking devices in GAP clothes, Oakley Sunglasses, etc? Brilliant. I don't know that it's legal, but it does sound like a marketer's dream.
Forget marketing for a second…what about just the idea of easily being tracked? Okay, there's the obvious question "what if I bought my kids iPhones…could I use this to get a general idea of where they've been?" Yes…a general idea, based on my personal maps. "Could I track employees, spouses…uh…anyone?" Yes, if they have these devices and you have access to the computer they are syncing to (which is required by Apple for the devices to work) and have the rights to load the software.
So with this thought, my kids could come home, sync their iPhones and go to sleep…then I could spy. Or check on my employees at lunch break.
I'm a little uncomfortable with this.
What about law enforcement and other entities that might want to "spy" or "check up" on us.
I was chatting with a friend about this an she said "What if you were in a town discussing a secret business deal with the only company in that area and there was a crime committed somewhere in that town and because of this information you became a suspect? Now you're on the front page of the paper as a suspect, and even though you're innocent, your business deal becomes public."
If you want fodder for some deep discussion tonight over dinner with friends, bring this up. And if you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch with 3G download the app and check it out for yourself.
At the very least, I don't think this can be ignored. Thanks to Senator Al Franken for sending the letter to Apple requesting more information and let's hope we get some real answers to this. Also thanks to Senator Al Franken for Stuart Smalley.
Let's start this discussion right here. What does your map show and what do you think about all this? Is it a real concern or just hype that will pass tomorrow?

Hope College senior Tracy DeKoekkoek of Martin has won first place in the undergraduate research poster competition of the 36th Annual Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS) conference, held in Dearborn.
She received the award on Friday, April 13. Approximately 75 students from more than 100 colleges and universities were participating in the competition.
DeKoekkoek was honored for her research project "Relationship of Activity Status Prior to Experiencing a Cardiac Event and Levels of State and Trait Hopelessness," which she conducted mentored by Hope nursing faculty members Dr. Susan Dunn and Dr. Barbara Vincensi. The study surveyed 520 cardiac patients to determine how patients' activity levels relate to their emotional health following a cardiac event. Analysis of the data is ongoing.
DeKoekkoek plans to pursue a career in acute care nursing and has additionally applied for graduate school study with a goal of becoming a nurse educator in the future. She is a 2008 graduate of Kalamazoo Christian High School, and the daughter of Gary and Joyce DeKoekkoek of Martin.
The MNRS, established in the middle 1970s, focuses on improving the quality of nursing research. The society has approximately 1,300 members from both within and outside the its 13-state region, which includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Book Review: Pivotal year pushed us to the brink
I grew up not knowing much about Wendell Willkie, for I was only four in 1940 when he ran against Franklin Roosevelt for the presidency. I knew that because of his rural Indiana background, wags called him "the barefoot boy from Wall Street." I also knew that my father had voted for him, as he also did for Thomas E. Dewey, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon. He only voted for a Democrat once. "I voted for Jimmy Carter," said my dad. "Why, Dad?"
"Because he's a farmer."
My next brush with Willkie came in the 1980s when the Leuthold Group of financial advisers hired me to do two comedy routines for its New York City investors. My first stop was at the Women's Republican Club in mid-Manhattan, the women were very kind to this rube and I thank them for it, but I couldn't hold back a snicker because Willkie's was the only portrait hanging in their lobby. A snicker because I had also been told years back that Willkie was a somewhat notorious ladies' man.
After just reading "1940: FDR, Willkie, Lindbergh, Hitler — The Election Amid the Storm," by Susan Dunn (Yale University Press, $35), I've learned a lot about Willkie and I must say I'm truly impressed.
Nineteen forty proved a curious presidential election year, thanks to Germany's belligerence in Europe, a U.S. cultural icon who turned out to be an isolationist, and two candidates who had a difficult time disagreeing with each other.
Germany was already in Poland and Czechoslovakia and looking across the English Channel for further conquests. Ace pilot Charles Lindbergh was speaking at America First Rallies and cuddling up with Hermann Goering on a trip to Germany. And FDR and Willkie were urging America to vote against the isolationists.
That's the story Williams College humanities prof Susan Dunn tells in "1940."
Willkie turns out to be quite a guy and even though my politics tends a bit further left, I'm proud of my father for voting for him.
In 1940, governor of New York Thomas E. Dewey was the frontrunner in the race for the GOP nomination. As he did again in 1944 and 1948, he took the nomination — and his election — for granted. The barefoot boy from Wall Street — and Indiana — clobbered him. And that's when the fun begins. The Republicans were hoping that FDR's veep John Nance Garner would be the Democratic nominee. But Roosevelt ran for an unprecedented third term and his coalition of labor, Southern racists and liberals proved too much for Willkie.
It's all sort of sad because Willkie was a reformer, a supporter of Jewish Americans, blacks, and internationalism, opposed to the threat of Fascists in Europe. And when he lost, the Republican party dropped him like a hot potato, returning Dewey and Taft of Ohio in the drivers' seats which pretty much guaranteed Roosevelt a fourth term.
So congratulations to Susan Dunn for bringing to life an almost forgotten figure in American history.
I never seem to learn. I'm so often tempted to judge a book by its cover, which my sixth-grade teacher Mrs. Lily Reich taught me never to do. But sure enough I received "How to Disappear: A Memoir for Misfits," by Duncan Gallowell (Terrace Books, $26.95) and was put off by the title. It sounded so 1970s. But I dug in and found a story that was fascinating.
Remember Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead Revisited"? Remember the effete Sebastian Flyte, the aristocrat who had an affair with his classmate, the hero of the novel and the movie? Most folks knew that Waugh modeled him after his classmate Alistair Graham, who disappeared off the face of the earth soon after he broke up with Waugh. What happened?
Duncan Gallowell found out by sitting in a bar with a strange, rather effete character sequestered in a little town. It was Alistair Graham, who had chosen to drop out. Gallowell follows up with casual research that reveals a character just as interesting, maybe more so, than the fictional character Waugh created.

Apps are what really make our devices shine, so we're going to start highlighting one we love right here, every day. Today's App of the Day: Momento, a beautiful journal for your iPhone.
What is it?
Momento, iPhone, $3. A handsome journaling app for chronicling all your observations, musings, and internet activities throughout the day. You can jot down notes, snap photos, or automatically pipe in a variety of feeds (Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, etc.), all of which are organized neatly and can be viewed by day, month, tag, and the like.
Who's it good for?
People who like the idea of keeping a journal. Or people who wake up and say, "what the hell did I do yesterday?" Or people who have anxiety about the general transience of the internet age.
Why's it better than alternatives?
It's gorgeous, which is important for the act of journaling (no one faithfully dictates their innermosts secrets to the back of a napkin); it just got a huge update adding support for a ton of new feeds, a landscape keyboard, better export options, and more.
How could it be even better?
For something like this to really root itself into my life it needs to sync to the cloud—either to a Momento site or just push out one way to a Google Doc or something. It also could stand to load a little snappier (gotta capture those fleeting insights) and would probably benefit from a universal search once those moments start piling up.
You can grab Momento in the App Store for $3.

APPLETON, Wis.—Gov. Scott Walker has signed a bill into law at Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. in Appleton that would benefit aviation companies across the state.
The bill Walker signed Thursday will exempt aviation companies like Gulfstream and Cessna in Milwaukee from having to pay sales taxes on aircraft maintenance parts and labor.
Advocates for the measure say having to pay the sales tax puts Wisconsin-based companies at a competitive disadvantage because aircraft owners are taking their business to other states that don't charge the tax.
Supporters say the tax cut would cost about $3 million a year in lost revenue, but it would generate more than twice that much in increased business for the aviation companies.

Common Symptoms
Struts may need to be replaced due to oil leaks, knocking noises, or poor ride quality.
Best Practices
We recommend that struts be replaced in pairs.
Prior to replacement of the struts/shocks, a full inspection of the Audi 80 steering and suspension should be performed to identify any needed repairs. This will cut down on the labor costs when compared to replacing the worn parts separately.
We recommend a four-wheel alignment when struts are replaced. The new struts can change the vehicle's ride height, which will change the wheel alignment.
Strut Replacement - Rear Cost Estimates
The average cost for a Strut Replacement - Rear is between $761 and $1130 but can vary from car to car.

In addition to owning a fucking castle in the French countryside, actors and ugly face-havers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have also acquired a vineyard which will begin marketing several varietals of wine to the public next month. The wine is officially named Miraval after their estate, but the label will also bear the Jolie-Pitt name in addition to that of the Perrin family, the renowned winemakers who Brad and Angelina teamed up with to produce the finest wine that we plebs will ever have the opportunity to drink. If it's good enough for Maddox Jolie-Pitt to get drunk on, then it's certainly good enough for us.
So now the only thing left to do is brainstorm what Brangelina's wine will taste like. I am going to say dark fruit and leather with soft notes of sex sweat and modernist furniture, but that's just my (incredibly well educated) guess. What's yours?

CRYSTAL QUEST Whole House Tannin 2.0 Water Filter Systems are self-backwashing, automatically removing the tannins within the filter bed and washing them down the drain. This is accomplished with the microprocessor control valve that is mounted on top of the CRYSTAL QUEST Tannin water filters. This valve is controlled by a meter that calculates the amount of water being used. Once the meter reaches X amount of gallons, it then initiates the backwash cycle that cleans the bed of filtration media and resets it for the next period of filtration. These systems connect to the main line of your home and filters all of the incoming water to it. It requires a nearby power outlet for the control valve. Low maintenance. Just add sodium or potassium pellets to the brine tank. It features 3 stages of filtration. in the first stage, water flows through a 20-inch sediment filter cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand dirt which also extends the life of water softeners and water filters and prevents damage to control valves or pumps. in the second stage, water flows through a tannin-reducing mineral tank. Finally, in the third stage, water flows through a 20-inch solid carbon cartridge that removes volatile organic carbon compounds (VOCs, insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents). CRYSTAL QUEST Whole House Tannin 2.0 Water Filter System also features: A Poly Glass mineral tank filled with tannin-reducing media, Riser style 1-inch internal flow distributor, a solid state microprocessor with LED display Electronics control valve, Chrome sleeve/jacket--Polyester fiberglass tank and a Stainless Steel Bypass Valve.

ok my first story was. . . not so good. so i'm hoping this second one wil be better. this story basically takes place 25 years after Edward left Bella in New Moon. Alice didnt have a vision and Edward didnt come back i go the idea from a book by Dean Koontz and am using Stephenie Meyer's characters which means I PRACTICALLY OWN NOTHING!!! just the random characters i make up every now and then
1. Chapter 1
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 2363 Review this Chapter
"How on earth could I have let this happen?" I thought as I raced through a forest somewhere in Oregon. If I wasn't already dead, my heart would be pounding through my chest. I didn't think I've ever been this scared before. All I could hear were my and my pursuers' thundering footsteps. I wasn't sure how close they were but I was too afraid to look. Afraid to look back and see those murderous red eyes of Jane, Aro, and Felix. I was thanking whatever gods there were that Jane's power had no effect on me otherwise I would be crippled on the floor instead of running my life. (figuratively speaking)
I knew when the Volturi said they wanted to meet with me today it would end in disaster. I shouldn't have done anything today. I should have found one of those panic rooms and locked myself in there for the next twenty-four hours. I suppose that is what Rebecca is doing right now. Or at lest I hope she is.
Rebecca is my twin sister. Mirror twin to be exact. We look exactly alike except she is an inch or so taller and she is left handed. That's where the mirror part comes in. Other than that, from the outside, we are exactly the same. On the side, however, we couldn't be more different.
Rebecca is loud and energetic while I'm shy and quiet. She takes practically everything lighthearted but I am more serious. My twin has the biggest vocabulary when it comes to swear words and the closest I have ever gotten to a curse is drat. Though we probably could not be any more different personality wise, we really are each other's half. Without the other, it feels like something is missing.
Besides sharing looks, parents, and birthdays, we share something of a greater importance. We both have the same 'off' days. Now, I'm not talking about those days when you stub your toe first thing in the morning and then spill coffee all over your shirt. Next it starts raining while you are outside and you've locked yourself out plus you're running late. You know, one of those 'the whole world is against me' days.
Ours are much worst. Before the first time, the first horrible day, Rebecca used to joke around saying things like, "Only four more weeks until our first atomic bomb day, Bella. Are you scared?" But like I said, that was before. Before we found out that oracle woman was right.
I know, oracle. Yes, it does sound like we got conned doesn't it? We weren't though. It was shortly after mom had just remarried to our ex principal Phil. Rebecca was dragging me off to the fair that day. It was going to be one of our last together for a long time. Becky was being shipped off to boarding school for her behavior (no surprise there. She did steal all the teacher's tires and held them for ransom until they raised her grade) and I was going to be moving to dreary Forks and like with our dad, Charlie, to give Renee sometime alone with Phil.
"Hurry up Bella! You are so slow!" Rebecca was dragging me by my arm through a sea of people taking me to god knows where. She pushed and squeezed us through the big rush leaving me to do all the apologizing to the people who she offended.
"Where exactly are you taking me Becky? You know I hate surprises,"
"Precisely. That's why you aren't allowed to know. Anyways, if you didn't you wouldn't go alone with it. It is such a great idea. It came to me when we were walking by it,"
"Is it legal?" I asked wearily. Becky had a habit of breaking the law and dragging me along with her or to bail her out. Thus the reason for her going to boarding though personally I think she would fair better in a military academy. Also, the last time she told me she had a 'great idea' we ended up using fake I.D.s to get tattoos.
"Yes, or at least I think it is. People do it all the time don't they?"
"And what is it that people do all-," I stopped mid sentence as we rounded a corner and were in front of deep, royal purple colored tent. It gave off an omnisent glow. "Oh no, we are not going to have some fortune teller person who thinks they can see the future have us pay her to tell us things that aren't even going to happen,"
"Oh please, Bella," Rebecca chided me, "she's an oracle," she said rolling her eyes as if that made all the difference. She continued pulling me by my arm into the tent between the beads hanging at the entrance. "Besides, this'll be fun. Maybe she'll foresee you actually dating a guy while you're in Forks," Rebecca would never let it down that I have never dated a guy before while she has a new boyfriend every week.
"Fine," I muttered not wanting to put up a fight. I knew I wouldn't win. We were now fully in the tent. There were strange trinkets hanging from the low ceiling. The wind that came in with us blew at the strange objects causing them to hit each other like a wind chime. It was a two room tent. We were standing in the front room where there was a small table with a crystal ball and a few chairs.
The chiming noise signaled out entrance. Out of the back room came a short woman with a crooked back. She was dressed in brightly colored wraps and surprisingly did not have any moles on her face as I had expected. When she saw us, she smiled, flashing us her brown-yellow teeth and said, "Welcome ladies, I have been expecting you. My name is Matilda and I am at your service,"
Of course Becky just beamed at that. She smiled brightly back and said excitedly "Hi! I'm Becky and this is my sister Bella! Do you mind reading our fortunes?"
"Of course darlings why don't you come and sit at this table with me. I can sense you will have very interesting fortunes to tell," Matilda sat down in one of the chairs at the table with the crystal ball and beckoned us over. Fighting the urge to sigh, I dragged my feet over to the table. Becky and I sat next to each other with Matilda sitting on the opposite end.
"I shall start by reading your palms. Come, put them on the table," with a glace at Rebecca I complied to the strange woman's wished. We both put one hand face up on the table. Matilda reached out and grabbed each of our hands. I recoiled my hand back, blushed, and then returned it to her.
"See that line? You shall have a long life, both of you. Ah, you're both twins. You shall have very interesting futures," Matilda's rough hands traced the lines on my hand. I suddenly had the urge to run. There was just something really creepy about being here.
"Can you really tell?" Becky asked, fully of energy. I gave her a look of disbelief. A half blind person could tell.
"Yes dear," she continued telling us how many children we will have. What our husbands will be like. That sort of things. I kind of zoned out but was becoming acutely aware that the room was chilling. By the time Matilda was coming to an end, I was shivering slightly. This was getting a bit weird and I was glad she was just about done so we could just give her her money and get out of here.
"Hmm, this is very peculiar, this mark," Matilda said holding Rebecca's hand very close to her face studying it intently. She brought my hand to her face too. "You both have," The next thing I know the room gets a whole lot colder, Matilda tightens her grip on my wrist, and her pupils get so big they take up her entire face. She starts shaking like I am but I was no longer shaking from the coolness but because I was scared out of my wits. A glace over at Rebecca and I can see fear in her eyes. Rebecca is one of the bravest people I know. She is never afraid. Until now.
"Five days," Matilda calls out in a raspy voice, much different from the smooth one she was using earlier. "Five terrible, terrible days. For both of you!" I try to pull my hand away so I can run but her grip is like iron. "First day January 18, 2005. Write it down! Matilda looks at me with powerful eyes. "Write it down now!"
I hear Rebecca frantically patting her pockets looking for a piece of paper. She finds her entrance ticket and a small snub of a pencil and starts to write down the date. "Why is that day going to be terrible?" I ask.
"No time for questions!" Matilda tells me sharply. "Next day May 29, 2006,"
"But Matilda why dos-,"
"Silence!!!" she screeches at me. I recalled back in fear. "Third time, April 3, 2031. Are you getting this?" She asks Becky eruptive. All Becky can do is nod her head. "Such a sad, sad day," Matilda continues to drone.
"Matilda do you have any medical problems," I ask her. "Are you having some sort of episode?"
"Listen to me child. Do not forget these words. Fourth day, April 10, 2031. So much pain, so much grief. What a horrible day it is."
By now I was getting frantic "Help!" I shouted out hoping someone outside would hear me. "Anyone, help!"
Matilda was breathing hard. She took in another loud, ragged breath. "The last and fifth day. October 16, 2032. What a dark, dark day. That worst of all. What a horrible, terrible day it shall be,"
"Matilda, please! You aren't making any sense," Rebecca was pleading. I could tell she was on the verge of tears.
"Such horrid, wretched days," was Matilda's answer. "Remember those days," that was the last thing Matilda said before her eye rolled back and she fell backwards onto the floor.
My eyes were still bulging when we were standing outside watched a medical team cart Matilda's dead body onto the ambulance. I was disturbed beyond words. I had never seen someone die before, especially not right before my very eyes. I have also never had someone curse me or foresee the worst things imaginable happen to me or what ever it was that Matilda did. Rebecca, however, was slightly more composed.
"That was a bit eerie was it?" I turned my head in her direction though my sight was still glued onto the dead boy being taken away. "Well on the bright side, we don't have to pay for that fortune," I was surprised my eyes didn't fall out of their sockets. How could she be so good spirited right now? Did none of this have an effect her?
"Do you believe her?" I am eventually able to ask though my voice sounds like I haven't had water in five months.
"Don't know. And we won't know until that first day comes. Until then, I'm going to find myself some cotton candy before the police come over here for questioning. I really can't afford to have anything else put on my record," I watched Becky skip merrily off in the other direction. I wish I could be that optimistic.
This is my third of the five terrible days. After experiencing the first two, I figured that since there were five, I was going to live until then. But right now I was seriously doubting it. The Volturi aren't after me because I broke some rule or reviled the existence of vampires, I was being chased because I wouldn't join them. I couldn't, they eat humans and I was one at once point. It would like killing myself. So when I declined the offer to join, Aro, being who he is, just had to have me join his guards because my gifts would be so helpful. Since I wouldn't go willingly, they planned to drag me back to Italy. In my opinion, Aro was a little desperate.
Somehow word got to them that I was now a vampire but was no longer with the Cullens. It's a lot easier now a days for me to say their names because of my powers. My powers made me like some sort of Cullen package. I can read minds, feel and manipulate emotions, have visions, immunity to human blood, I am still small but have muscles harder and stronger than Emmett, and am extremely beautiful. (I'm not being vain. That is just what I hear others say and think. I have even paler skin, chocolate brown hair with slight caramel highlights, and I kept my brown eyes but I do have a small circlet of gold in then to mark what I am.) They didn't take me not wanting to join them very well.
I seemed to have lost them for now but I knew that wasn't going to last. I had to come up with a plan and quick. Since I was tired form so much running I couldn't really use my powers right now. I allowed myself to sneak a look behind me to make sure my ears didn't deceive me.
Nobody was behind me. Good. I turned back around and was greeted by a loud SMACK as I ran into something. I had hit it with such force that I actually fell back a couple of feet. In my defense, I was expecting it. I am still a pretty tough fighter.I picked myself up to look at the huge boulder I must have hit to make that collision. But instead, standing in front of me was a person I hadn't seen in over twenty-five years and never expected to see again. Edward Cullen. Yep, today most definitely was one of my 'cursed' days.

|The Horse Race charts the presidential election campaign using two measures: the Iowa Electronic Markets, and our own index of pundit opinion. The Iowa Electronic Markets are a project of the University of Iowa College of Business administration. They are real markets, with shares that pay out after the election. We follow Iowa's Winner-Takes-All market, which will pay $1 for each share in the winner. (Thus WTA share prices reflect the market's judgment, at any moment, of the chance of a candidate winning.) The Iowa folks' thesis is that markets are better prognosticators than the pundits. You be the judge. For more information, or to invest, visit the Iowa Electronic Markets site.
The Iowa Markets also track the battle for control of Congress. See below .
|Clinton: 94.0, 0.5 from yesterday Dole: 5.0, 0.5 from yesterday
|Clinton: 98, unchanged from last week Dole: 1, 1 from last week Perot: 1, 1 from last week
The Perot overture: "Beg," "plead," "desperate," and "nuts" were favored words about Dole sending his campaign manager to ask Perot to quit the race and endorse Dole. Pundits argued simultaneously that (a) Dole had foolishly insulted Perot by sending a mere aide to talk to him; (b) Dole shouldn't have made such a high-profile request for the endorsement without having someone negotiate it quietly beforehand; (c) Dole's entreaty was foolish because Perot's supporters would split in Clinton's favor if Perot dropped out; and (d) Perot's rejection would hurt Dole because they were vying for the same voters. Dole apologists said the overture made sense because Perot needed an escape from the humiliation of a single-digit showing on Election Day. Perot seized the moment to deliver a blistering--and coherent--speech attacking Clinton's ethics; pundits pointedly contrasted this with Dole's lamer efforts.
The foreign money scandal: Pundits couldn't decide whether to be outraged or amused by the White House's pre-election stonewalling. Conservatives sulked over Dole's mishandling of the issue (focusing on campaign-finance reform instead of Clinton's alleged lawbreaking), sympathized with Dole's disbelief that Clinton was getting away with his cover-up, and consoled each other with predictions of Watergate-scale hearings and impeachment in a second term. "The I-word is being thrown around town," intoned Mort Kondracke. A few sniffed that voters would get four more years of the degenerate tax-and-spender they deserved. Conservatives blamed the press for ignoring the foreign-money story. Liberals blamed the press for deadening the public by crying wolf over previous nonscandals.
Blaming the media: Outraged by America's lack of outrage over Clinton's misdeeds, Dole bashed the media and the pundits. The pundits bashed back, portraying Dole as whiny, predictably nasty, and nearly unhinged. They mercilessly exploited his strategic error in scolding the voters as well as the press. Chat-show panelists snickered that Dole had committed the cardinal sin of politics: blaming the customer. Mark Shields traced Dole's progression from anger to denial to ranting--"Elizabeth Kubler Ross' stages of death." Candid journalists denied that they had protected Clinton out of liberal bias, but admitted that they had defused public anger by spreading cynicism.
Clinton's ads: Commentators chided Clinton for exploiting President Reagan's shooting in a gun-control ad, exploiting Polly Klaas' father in a tough-on-crime ad, and touting his signing of an anti-gay marriage bill in an ad confined to Christian radio stations. They declared that Clinton is too far ahead to qualify for the excuse that the end justifies the means. Liberals defended the crime ads as payback for Willie Horton. "People are going to exploit the emotions of people," yawned Carl Rowan. Evan Thomas summarized the sophisticate's view: "Shameless. But you gotta hand it to ... the Democratic ad people. They have been brilliant."
Congress: The only significant shift in the Iowa Market was an erosion of last week's upsurge in betting on Democratic control of the House. The pundit market, however, was quite active. The consensus was that Republican voters are "coming home" and that the GOP will retain narrow margins in both houses. Pundits who understood nothing about Congress mouthed the ubiquitous theory that "Republican pickups in Southern open seats" would "offset losses among vulnerable freshmen." Pundits who understood Congress argued that the Democratic/labor ad campaign accusing Republicans of cutting popular programs has stopped persuading voters and started grating on them. The old theory that GOP Chairman Haley Barbour was a fool to hoard his money during the onslaught of labor ads gave way to the new theory that Barbour is a genius, since he can spend his money on a massive counterattack now that voters are finally tuning in to the congressional races.
Meanwhile, the previous consensus that Clinton wants Republicans to retain control of Congress so they can help him pass moderate legislation disappeared in favor of the new consensus that Clinton wants them to lose control so they won't be able to investigate his scandals. Columnists discussed congressional Republicans' desertion of Dole and Clinton's desertion of congressional Democrats, unable to agree which was more craven and contemptible. Calvinists gloated that gutless Democrats who had announced their retirements last year, expecting Clinton to be a lethal albatross, had foolishly forfeited their seats to the GOP.
--William Saletan
Iowa Electronic Market: Congressional Control Gain is a share that pays $1 if the Republicans increase their number of seats. Hold pays $1 if they stay the same or lose seats but retain majority control. Lose pays $1 if the Republicans lose their majority. The IEM site has graphs tracking price changes over time for the House and the Senate. The latest prices as of 11/01/96:
|Senate Gain: 38.9, 5.6 from yesterday Senate Hold: 48.0, 11.5 from yesterday Senate Lose: 15.1, 1.3 from yesterday
House Gain: 17.0, 2.0 from yesterday House Hold: 58.4, 4.6 from yesterday House Lose: 32.0, 3.0 from yesterday
Congressional Pundits' Index: as of 10/28/96
|Senate Gain: 23, 6 from last week Senate Hold: 70, 3 from last week Senate Lose: 7, 3 from last week
House Gain: 2, unchanged from last week House Hold: 76, 4 from last week House Lose: 22, 4 from last week

Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak Keynotes ATA 2012
Thousands of ATA 2012 attendees heard Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak wax enthusiastic about the future of telemedicine in his Tuesday morning keynote event.
"I love the fact that telemedicine fits into this category of people trying to do good things for those that don't have access. I love that," said Wozniak to applause.
"It's kind of cool for a general doctor to get in touch with a couple of specialists this way."
In a wide-ranging conversation onstage with ATA President Dr. Bernard Harris Jr., Wozniak predicted that computer intelligence will soon rival human intelligence – with profound implications for health care.
"Computers are getting closer to acting like humans. Your phone knows when you're touching it now… and I think eventually they will be listening and looking with their cameras and microphones… You can make devices that see better than a human.
"Once a computer gets smarter than a human, then the company that uses computers will come out ahead economically."
Wozniak regaled the crowd with stories of his friendship with Steve Jobs and the genesis of Apple.
"I was the designer," he said. "I was the engineering brains. Steve had a sense for which way technology would go. He had more of the vision and the long-term thinking. I was the one that stumbled onto a computer [design] that made things affordable."
Asked to give advice to a filled auditorium with telemedicine scientists and entrepreneurs, Wozniak said:
"You've got to have somebody who's got it in their heart to do something. Salaries and titles and yachts and money—I don't think those are the biggest driving forces. Very personal things are what drive you hard. And I can't think of any entrepreneurial stories that don't feature a lot of hard work.
"Nowadays, entrepreneurship is taught like a business course, and that's not passion-driven. Even if they can be successful, that's not the experience I want to go through."
Wozniak told ATA the keys to success – in any field – are the ability to persevere autonomously, without supervisors looking over your shoulder, and finding ways to innovate without resources.
"In all my A-plus work at Apple, two factors came out. One was a lack of money. Also, we had never done those sorts of things before. My ideas were always thought out fresh."
Earlier, incoming ATA president Stewart Ferguson pledged to spearhead a new telemedicine awareness campaign. Echoing the views of Cisco healthcare leaders, Ferguson predicted fundamental changes in health care delivery worldwide.
"Health systems cannot continue to do what they're doing and make it," said Ferguson. "Any organization that tries to take on more without additional resources is taking on a risk… telemedicine is perfectly positioned to be part of a more efficient healthcare system."
Ferguson said ATA must ready itself for a sudden increase in demand for telehealth solutions.
