Switched On: iOS 6 gets back from the app

Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.

Apple's App Store has more smartphone apps than those of its competitors. But the sheer size of the library is not the only source of consternation for Google or Microsoft, which would both readily concede that it's also important to obtain the kind of key apps, optimized apps and platform-first apps the iPhone enjoys. The iPhone's commanding marketplace lead is due to several factors. These include the huge number and historical affluence of its users and the ease of its App Store.

The iPhone, though, was not the first phone to have apps. In fact, in its early days, it didn't have apps at all as the company urged developers to create optimized web apps for the platform similar to what Mozilla is now advocating for its streamlined mobile operating system Boot2Gecko. Apple originally put its efforts into creating archetypical apps for tasks such as calling, browsing, email and mapping. Rather than open the iPhone to third-party developers at first, it handpicked partners for various features, such as Google for maps and Yahoo for weather and stocks.

Sudan tells UN that debts must be canceled as it struggles to recover from losing oil revenue to South Sudan - @Reuters

UNITED NATIONS | Sat Sep 29, 2012 2:39pm EDT

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Sudan told the United Nations General Assembly on Saturday that its debts must be canceled and its economy supported as it struggles to recover from losing three-quarters of its critical oil revenue to South Sudan when it seceded a year ago.

The International Monetary Fund this week urged Sudan to meet donors to discuss debt relief and some IMF board members called for "exceptional efforts" from the IMF and the global community to help Sudan reduce its debt of about $40 billion.

"Sudan requires assistance to go through this very sensitive stage towards better horizons. For that we believe that debts must be canceled and its economy supported," Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Ahmed Karti said.

South Sudan seceded in July 2011. Leaders from both states finally reached a border security deal on Wednesday to restart badly needed oil exports, but failed to solve the other key conflicts left over from when they split.

The pair failed to settle the fate of at least five disputed oil-producing regions along the border. Tensions over the unmarked 1,200-mile (1930-km) common border spilled over into fighting in April, when South Sudan's army briefly occupied the Heglig oilfield, vital to Sudan's economy.

They were also unable to reach a solution for the border region of Abyei, which has symbolic significance to both and is rich in grazing lands. Plans for a referendum have failed over the question of who should participate.

"We have been determined to tackle the reasons for war and strife despite the strong economic and political pressures being brought to bear against my country and unfair sanctions imposed by the United States," Karti said.

Washington still maintains its 1997 embargo on the country over Sudan's role in hosting prominent Islamist militants. The sanctions restrict U.S. trade and investment with Sudan and block the assets of the Sudanese government.

The United States and other powers criticize Sudan for human rights violations and a harsh crackdown on rebels. Western powers also shun Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir who was indicted by the International Criminal Court over war crimes in Darfur, the site of a nearly decade-old insurgency.

India launches 101st space mission, and looks to Mars

The mission will be carried out without international help, highlighting the growth and ambition of India's home-grown space program, which plans to launch a mission to Mars.

By Vaishnavi Chandrashekhar,?Correspondent / September 29, 2012

India's space program is advancing at a breakneck pace with a goal of reaching Mars with an unmanned vehicle by 2014. Here, a satellite launch from earlier in September.

The satellite, carrying 30 communication transponders and a navigation payload, is the first of 10 missions slated for the coming year, a hectic schedule that the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) hopes will have glorious finale in November 2013 with the launch of an orbiter to Mars.

India?s Red Planet mission is to be carried out without international help, highlighting the growth of the agency.

?At the moment, we plan to do it on our own,? said ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan at the agency?s headquarters here last week.

After 50 years and 100 missions, the Indian space program is growing faster than ever. India?s scientists, some NASA-trained, assembled the country?s first rocket in a village church in the 1960s. Today, India?s home-grown space program is considered one of the top six in the world.

In recent years, the mission has expanded its original development agenda to embrace more commercial and exploratory interests ? though to what extent remains to be seen.

Budget parallels India?s economic growth

The government has increased budgets, accelerating the pace of missions and moving toward more prestigious ? and sometimes controversial ? projects throughout the past decade.

?The first 50 missions took 27 years, the next 50 took place in the last 10 years and the next 58 missions will happen in the next five years,? said Mr. Radhakrishnan, whle emphasizing the agency?s ?success on a shoestring? story. ?

ISRO?s budget is barely 7.5 percent the size of NASA, but it has been growing every year since the early 2000s, jumping from $591 million in 2004-05 to $1.3 billion in 2012-2013.

?I can think of no other major space program in the world that has enjoyed such a level of sustained annual budgetary growth,? says Asif Siddiqi, an associate professor of history at Fordham University, who is working on a book on the Indian space program.

The budget expansion parallels India?s economic growth in the past decade, notes Mr. Siddiqi. And high-profile successes have also helped boost government support for ISRO, he says.

Shift in mission

For five decades, ISRO stuck close to founder Vikram Sarabhai?s vision to reject ?the fantasy of competing with economically advanced countries" to explore the moon and instead use space technology to improve the lives of ordinary people.

The result: India has built one of the largest communication satellite systems ? ?used to support telemedicine and tele-education programs for rural areas ? and one of the world?s best remote sensing systems, which helps with forecasting the weather and monitoring natural resources, including locating water sources.

But the agency?s recent forays into space exploration ? including the 2008 Chandrayan 1 lunar probe and proposed missions to the sun ? and reconnaissance satellites is a ?fundamental shift? from Sarabhai?s ?space for development? agenda, says Siddiqi.?

India?s uncertainty about that shift was evident last month with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh?s announcement of the Mars mission, called Mangalyaan (Sanskrit for ?To Mars?), which was met with mixed response. The mission, timed to coincide with the next window when the planet is closest to earth, is intended to help collect data on methane sources.

Univision: The untold story of what 'Fast and Furious' wrought in Mexico

Sunday evening, Univision airs an investigative report on how the botched 'Fast and Furious' program resulted in a deadly toll in Mexico when US authorities allowed guns to 'walk' across the border.

By Patrik Jonsson,?Staff writer / September 29, 2012

Part of a cache of seized weapons displayed at a news conference in Phoenix. The ATF is under fire over a Phoenix-based gun-trafficking investigation called "Fast and Furious," in which agents allowed hundreds of guns into the hands of straw purchasers in hopes of making a bigger case.

When a journalist for Univision asked President Obama last week why he hasn?t fired Attorney General Eric Holder over the ?Fast and Furious? gun walking fiasco, the reporter, it turns out, had an inside scoop that added urgency to the question.

At 7 p.m. on Sunday, Univision says it?ll air a blockbuster investigation detailing the impact of the deeply flawed gunrunning investigation, which operated between Oct. 2009 and January 2011.

The Spanish-language channel says the ?Aqui y Ahora? program will expose the true deadly toll of a covert program where US officials allowed over 2,000 high-powered rifles to ?walk? into the hands of violent Mexican cartels. Expecting American interest, Univision will caption the program in English.

In the US, ?Fast and Furious? is most noted for its ties to the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and for political fallout over the extent of involvement of the Obama administration, including Attorney General Holder. But in Mexico, the program may reignite furor over how a US government that had promised to try to halt the border gun traffic instead covertly contributed to it.

?Americans have been getting a lot of information about the possible cover-up in the Justice Department, the tragedy of Brian Terry getting killed, but what about the Mexicans?? says Miami-based Gerardo Reyes, Univision?s director of investigative reporting, in an interview Saturday with the Monitor.

?The sinister part of this, and I know it sounds very hard, is that the success of this operation depended in part on the fact that the guns were used in Mexico to kill,? says Mr. Reyes. ?In order to reach the target of the operation, which was identifying the drug traffickers who were using the guns, [ATF agents] were waiting for the guns to be used. And how are guns used in Mexico? Killing people. I talked to an ATF agent who said there was no other way to explain it.?

ATF is the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

By cross referencing gun tracing data, Univision identified 57 weapons linked to murders and crimes in Mexico, and used that data to highlight ?the face of the tragedy in Mexico,? says Mr. Reyes.

Reyes said the program will detail Fast and Furious ties to the massacre of 16 teenage boys and girls in Ciudad Juarez, the nation-shaking murder of Mario Gonzalez Rodriguez, the brother of the former Chihuahua attorney general, the extent to which the Mexican government knew about the program, and an interview with a drug trafficker who says he heard from colleagues that the US government was selling guns to the cartels.

Looper

Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Looper.

Photo by Alan Markfield/DMG Entertainment/Looper, LLC.

After you've seen Looper, come back and listen to our Spoiler Special podcast with Dana Stevens and Dan Kois. You can also download the podcast.

Looper is the third film from Rian Johnson, whose debut feature Brick (2005) somehow pulled off the brazen gimmick of setting a noir murder mystery in a suburban American high school. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (then known to most audiences as the alien kid on the family sitcom Third Rock from the Sun) played the lead role?a teenage Sam Spade investigating his girlfriend?s murder?with an alchemically perfect combination of hip detachment and wary melancholy. Gordon-Levitt was already a rising actor, having been singled out by critics in less-mainstream roles, like the gay drifter he played in Gregg Araki?s moody, unforgettable Mysterious Skin. But it was only after Brick that he began his steady rise toward household-name status, playing a lovelorn greeting-card designer in (500) Days of Summer, a brain-cancer patient in 50/50, and a credible action sidekick in both Inception and The Dark Knight Rises.

I?m an avowed JGL fan, so the prospect of Gordon-Levitt and Johnson working together again was enticing.?So?was Looper?s high-concept sci-fi premise: Gordon-Levitt plays a hired assassin whose targets are sent back in time from the future. It?s 2044, and time travel hasn?t yet been invented, but?to employ the future-perfect tense useful mainly for time-travel movies?it will have been invented in 30 years. By that point, a fearful, vaguely post-apocalyptic government will have forbidden any use of the technology ... so, to paraphrase the NRA bumper sticker, when time machines are outlawed, only outlaws will have time machines. Soon the contraptions (which look, pleasingly, like Jules Verne-era bathyspheres) are used solely on the black market, transporting the human garbage of the future back in time for the past to clean up. At least, that's how Joe (Gordon-Levitt) justifies to himself the fact that he makes his living waiting in deserted fields for hooded, cuffed men to appear out of nowhere so he can shoot them with a blunderbuss.

Underground assassins like Joe?members of an organized force led by menacing boss-from-the-future Abe (Jeff Daniels)?are known as ?loopers,? for the chilling reason that, after being paid handsomely and given an early retirement that lasts exactly 30 years, they themselves will be captured, sent back in time and killed, thus closing the ?loop? of their lives. As the film begins, a new crime lord, a fearsome gangster known as the Rainmaker, has taken over in the future and is issuing new orders about the existing loopers: He wants all their future selves sent back in time and killed immediately, preferably by the younger versions of themselves. (Why exactly this setup would be desirable was one plot point among many that eluded me. Given that the victims from the future are being sent back with their heads covered, why would it matter which looper killed whom?)

Joe?s featherbrained fellow looper Seth (Paul Dano), encountering his own later-self, isn?t able to bring himself to pull the trigger, and the man gets away, resulting in a very bad outcome for both present and future Seths (and the first of several extended bursts of stomach-churning violence). Joe resolves that, when and if his own future self appears in cuffs before him, he won?t hesitate to blow him away?but when that day comes and Joe?s future self turns out to be Bruce Willis, all bets are off.

Future Joe manages to knock Past Joe out cold, take his gun, and head out into the world to find and kill the child destined one day to grow into the Rainmaker. Based on a tip about the super-criminal?s date and place of birth, old Joe has narrowed the candidates down to three small children, one of whom (Pierce Gagnon) is the son of a lonely sugarcane farmer (Emily Blunt) in whose barn young Joe has taken shelter while on the run from Abe?s men, who are now hunting down both Joes with extreme prejudice.

You see where this is going: At some point, Young Joe and Old Joe are going to have to meet up and debrief about the 30 years that separate them, then decide whether they?re going to continue as allies or enemies. The moment this finally happens, in an Edward Hopper-esque diner in the middle of nowhere, was for me the movie?s high point. As they stare at each other in profile over two identical plates of steak and eggs, Willis and Gordon-Levitt, such different types both physically and temperamentally, make a strange sense as each others? time-traveling avatars, especially since we?re meant to imagine that Joe?s years of hard living to come will make him a coarser, tougher man in middle age. (Levitt was also fitted with facial prosthetics to make his fine-boned face more closely resemble Willis? craggier features. The nose works; the eyebrows are pushing it.) The diner scene also snaps with smart dialogue that playfully bats around sci-fi clich?s; asked by his 2044 self to explicate one of the paradoxes of time travel, 2074 Joe impatiently dismisses the question, insisting they have no time to ?start making diagrams with straws.?

Too bad, because a well-thought-out straw diagram might have been able to get me through the movie?s last half-hour, in which timeless philosophical questions of free will vs. destiny, nature vs. nurture, and utilitarian ethics (would you consider killing a child if you knew it meant saving countless future lives from the monster he might grow up to be?) get raised, then chucked aside as the story hurtles to a rushed, gory conclusion that leaves nearly as many plot holes as bullet holes. Saddest of all, after their juicy mid-movie encounter at the diner, Old and Young Joe hardly ever share the screen again, and when they do, it?s mostly to exchange terse remarks and gunfire.

Looper felt to me like a maddening near-miss: It posits an impossible but fascinating-to-imagine relationship?a face-to-face encounter between one?s present and future self, in which each self must account for its betrayal of the other?and then throws away nearly all the dramatic potential that relationship offers. If someone remakes Looper as the movie it could have been in, say, 30 years, will someone from the future please FedEx it back to me?

Bhutanese Artisans Demonstrate Basket ... - Cathedral Antiques Show

Home / Events, Featured / WABE?s City Caf? John Lemley to Host Discussion at The Cathedral of St. Philip

This Sunday, at The Cathedral of St. Philip, you will be able to enjoy a morning with?Cathedral member and host of WABE?s City Caf?, John Lemley, and Emily Pelton, Executive Director of Refugee Family Services (RFS). John will ?host? a discussion with leaders of RFS. You will also be able to meet some?of the refugees whose lives we?ll touch through this important community outreach project, the 2013 Cathedral Antiques Show and Tour of Homes

Entrepreneurial Bhutanese artisans from Bhutan Baskets will be doing live basket weaving and selling finished baskets made out of the kudzu vine.

Bhutan Baskets?began five years ago as a result of an astute observation made by an ESOL teacher at Druid Hills High School and the positive response of volunteers in the area. ?The teacher had noticed that some of her students were coming to school without shoes and wearing the same set of clothes every day. ?Volunteers gathered to assist the people living in a refugee apartment complex with a variety of projects, one of which was creating a garden in the complex. ?Unfortunately, the area suffered from an overgrowth of kudzu, a common affliction in Georgia. ?While reclaiming the land from this insidious vine, some had the idea to weave baskets from the plant. ?Bhutan Baskets was born.

Bhutan Baskets helps Bhutanese artisans generate income and hope for the future. ?At the demonstration this Sunday, you will be able to see the incredible skill with which these artisans weave their baskets, and you can purchase the handmade baskets for use in your own home. ?All proceeds from the sales support the artisans; for many it is their only source of income. ?Cash and check are accepted at this sale.

The discussion with Refugee Family Services leaders will be held this Sunday in Child Hall at 10:10 a.m. ? The Cathedral of St. Philip, 2744 Peachtree Road, NW, Atlanta, GA 30305.

Inspectors publish report on how colleges improve | FE Week

Unrealistic self-assessments with little or no critical insight, plus unexpected job cuts, show up time and again among poorly performing colleges, according to a new Ofsted report.

How Colleges Improve also warned colleges about the dangers of paying too much attention to building projects and mergers.

The report, which was released last week, also highlighted inconsistent tracking of learner progress, financial instability and defensive, inward-looking colleges being slow to accept change or to act when data showed decline.

Weaker colleges, the report added, often had a high proportion of temporary staff who were not properly managed.

In outstanding and improving colleges, staff were more willing to accept change and could easily describe what their college stood for?

And, mirroring the ?Deptford not Delhi? fears of chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw that featured in FE Week a fortnight ago, there were also question marks over colleges? ?quest for new and fresh business, especially, abroad?to the detriment of current learners?.

But the report, commissioned by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) and Ofsted, also listed where colleges had got it right.

Successful colleges, it said, had strong governance and management as well as a clear vision and direction. And good and outstanding colleges were not afraid of the self-assessment process ? even if it was self-critical.

Ofsted?s national director for learning and skills, Matthew Coffey, said: ?Successful colleges always had strong leadership and management and the importance of this cannot be underestimated.

?All the elements of this report are inextricably linked to the actions and behaviours of leaders and managers and the example they set.

?In outstanding and improving colleges, staff were more willing to accept change and could easily describe what their college stood for. As a result, leadership teams were better placed to act decisively to tackle underperformance and secure improvement.?

Rob Wye, LSIS chief executive, said: ?This report confirms that the importance of outstanding leadership and management, underpinned by informed governance, cannot be underestimated.

?It is also clear that robust and honest self-review and reflection is a vital ingredient of any provider?s improvement journey. The evidence in this report confirms what many will have thought for a long time ? that the best colleges are those where the teaching, learning and assessment delivers excellent results that match the needs of learners, employers and the local community.?

The report was welcomed by the Association of School and College Leaders. Its colleges spokesperson, Stephan Jungnitz, said: ?I?m pleased the report recognises the pivotal role of college leaders in driving forward institutional success, as well as the complex and demanding range of areas they have to deal with, from buildings and finance to teaching and learning.

?As we well know, each college is unique and the road to success will be different for each ? there is no magic formula. Having said that, the insights in the report will be useful to college leaders.

?For many, it will reinforce what they instinctively already know about improving their institutions.?

Henry Rollins on Election Season: 'I Really Don't Like All This Anger ...

September 26, 2012 11:35 AM ET

Henry Rollins

Michael Tran/FilmMagic

Veteran punk and spoken word artist Henry Rollins has been touring relentlessly in one way or another for over 30 years, and all that experience has made him extra-sensitive to the ways of public speaking. When he watches a speech by Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, he doesn't just think about what they say. He deconstructs their mannerisms, word choice and sense of rhythm.

So Rollins wasn't particularly surprised when he read passages from the now-infamous video of Romney at a recent fundraiser in Boca Raton ? unveiled by Mother Jones ? which shows the Republican presidential nominee basically dismissing 47 percent of the U.S. population as moochers who don't pay income tax and depend on government handouts.

"Nothing [Romney] can say at this point surprises me. You know who he is when he walks in through the door," the former Black Flag singer tells Rolling Stone. "He has waterboarded and steam-pressed every bit of humanity out of himself. I've never heard a more robotic, dehumanized person in my life. Everything he says just sounds like a thoroughly wiped ass when it comes out of his mouth."

These days, Rollins has politics on his mind. On his current "Capitalism" spoken-word tour, he's hitting all 51 capital cities in the United States; he'll finish at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. on November 5th, on the eve of the Presidential election. Onstage he's telling stories about his travels to countries such as Vietnam, India, Sudan and North Korea. He's also urging his audience to vote (for whichever candidate), and weighing in on the country's political discourse.

"Since we're coming up on an election, I do take the time to remind the audience that, in America, we have become extremely polarized, and that perhaps our similarities and commonalities far outweigh our dissimilarities, and we should maybe remember that," he says. "I really don't like all this anger that's going back and forth. It's just not productive."

For a guy as famously angry as Rollins, this might seem like a curious position. But he prefers addressing complex issues with cold, sober reason, just as his hero Abraham Lincoln did.

"I'm angry every day. There's plenty of stuff to be angry about, absolutely. I'll always be angry, I hope ? if I'm lucky," he says. "But with this kind of thing, man, you've got to really look at it. You can't get your head around something if you're yelling."

As for the Presidential election, it's fairly obvious whom Rollins is voting for.

"I was a fan as soon as I heard him speak," he says about President Obama. "I think the last four years, you've seen an incredibly brilliant man do the best he can with a Congress that says ?No,' and an alarmingly wide swatch of America calling him a nigger.

"When I see the hatred exacted at Mr. Obama ? you know, he lowered your taxes, killed your number one bad guy and got your guys out of Iraq ? I don't understand why he seems to inflame people so much. You know, unless, unless there's a race problem," he explains. "I try to give people the benefit of the doubt as long as possible. But when you see people with signs of the president with a bone in his nose or something like that, I don't know what other conclusion I'm supposed to draw."

But while he's a fan, he has mixed feelings about the president's speaking style.

"I like when he's laying down the facts, but then when he gets the applause going and he goes into Sunday preacher mode: 'I'm with ya! I'll be walkin' with ya!' Like, really? You don't talk like that, so why are you doing it now?" he says. "He does it a lot. And I don't like it.

"Also, he stammers a lot, and that doesn't sell very well with me," he adds, noting that it appears to be a deeply ingrained mannerism Obama is aware of. "He's one of the most intelligent Presidents in our lifetime, for sure. And that stammer ? I don't know where it comes from. But whenever he speaks, I wish he'd lose it."

So far this year, Rollins has performed more than 100 spoken word shows. When he's done with the "Capitalism" tour, he'll return to "The Long March," a marathon talking tour he's been on since January. Starting on November 8th at Joe's Pub in New York City, he'll do a series of multiple-show residencies in New York, Chicago, Toronto, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

He says he'd be fine financially if he retired, but he doesn't want to. He loves performing onstage and having a responsibility to his audience, he says, though he acknowledges that there might be another reason, too.

"My assistant says that I'm basically meditating ? I have some condition ? by touring. And she scolds me when I tour a lot," he says. "I say, 'Aw, come on! It's a great work ethic.' And she says, 'No, you're running from something.' She's not impressed. And that very well could be. Maybe I'm just a psycho, and the stage is a better place to go than either the loony bin or somewheres else."

Netflix iOS and Android apps have a remote control easter egg for PS3 owners

Now that the revamped Netflix interface has hit phones and tablets for both Apple and Android powered hardware, the service has quietly enabled something else: second screen remote control. Currently the feature is only known to work on the PlayStation 3 with a mobile device on the same local network, once the two apps are running you can browse as normal on your phone or tablet and when you go to play a movie or TV show it asks you to choose where it will play. While the video is playing you can stop, pause or seek through it to a certain point, change the audio or subtitles, choose a different episode or even browse for something entirely different without stopping the action. The YouTube app on PS3 works in a similar fashion after its most recent update. We've got a few screens of the mobile apps at work in the gallery, check after the break for a quick video of it working.

Intel reveals Quad-Core, LTE-capable mobile chips are on the way

Intel's curious decision to shun the US and release Medfield-powered smartphones in India, China, Russia and the UK might be because of those countries' underdeveloped levels of LTE. Marketing chief Sumeet Syal told TechCrunch that its current-generation x86 system-on-chip won't support the standard, but a modem solution will arrive at the end of the year -- with production ramping up in 2013. He also let slip to the site that a replacement dual-core platform will arrive shortly, claiming they'll benefit from Intel's hyper threading know-how. Syal said that Santa Clara is "comfortable" with its progress just months after entering the smartphone space but declined to discuss numbers -- for which we'll have to wait for the Q3 earnings call in October to find out how well (or not) Intel's mobile ambitions are going.

Accelerator Driven Treatment of Nuclear Waste

I'm the guy who write the software for the reactor (and the accelerator) of TFA. And yes, it run Linux, on embedded Xilinx cards with custom FPGAs. I can't vouch for the ability of the system to transmute long-life waste in a semi-industrial way as it's only a research reactor, not even a demonstrator. But it's the 3rd prototype of its kind and it's working well enough. More information is available here in french [in2p3.fr], and, as a long time/. member, if you have questions about the control/command software, I'll be happy to answer when I wake up in the morning ! Yeah, the name of the experiment is somewhat confusing: Genepi/Guinevere/3C/Venus/Ganddalf. One is the accelerator, one is the reactor, one is the data acquisition, one is the combined experiment... I get lost too.

GOP: Obama has failed to address deficit

Posted on Sep 22, 2012 in Top News | 0 comments

The United States is in financial trouble, but President Barack Obama says the federal debt ?is nothing to worry about,? a Senate Republican charged Saturday.

Presenting the GOP?s weekly address, Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama said ?the American people see the financial chaos. They know it must stop,? The Hill reported.

Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee., said the president had failed to rally the country to deal with the problem.

?Instead, he says our debt course is nothing to worry about,? Sessions said. ?He continues to insist that his budget plan will pay down the debt.?

Sessions said the president?s budget reduction plan provides for no surplus, which was needed to pay down the debt.

?Despite $1.8 trillion in new taxes, his budget increases our spending and debt every year, adding $11 trillion to the debt overall,? he said.

The administration has previously rejected such claims. The White House website says, ?Since his first day in office, President Obama has focused on laying the foundation for an economy built to last???creating jobs for American workers, cutting taxes for middle class families and small businesses, investing in education, manufacturing and American-made energy, and making sure everyone plays by the same rules, from Main Street to Wall Street.?

Sessions charged Senate Democrats ?have deliberately violated the legal requirement to produce a budget plan? for a third year in a row, examiner.com reported.

With an eye on the November elections and the potential to shift control of the Senate to the GOP, Sessions claimed that ?if given the chance, Republicans will get this government under control.?

Security researchers identify transit system exploit in San Fran and New Jersey, create app to prove it

Mobile security company Intrepidus Group presented evidence during the EUSecWest security conference potentially identifying a major flaw in at least two US transit systems. Creating an Android app named "UltraReset" and using it in tandem with an NFC-enabled Android phone (a Nexus S, in this case), security researchers Corey Benninger and Max Sobell were able to reset and reuse -- free of charge -- transit access cards in both San Francisco's MUNI system and New Jersey's PATH system. Before you go getting any bad ideas, know that Benninger and Sobell haven't released the app for public use, and warned both transit systems in late 2011 (though neither region has fixed the exploit, the duo claim). PATH and MUNI share a common chip access card -- the Mifare Ultralight -- which can apparently be reset for 10 extra rides (as demonstrated on video below) via Android phones with NFC, an OS newer than 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). Starting to sound familiar?

Intrepidus is, however, releasing a modified version of the app, named "UltraCardTester." The modified app functions just like its nefarious progenitor, except it can't add time to cards (see it in action below). The app can tell you how many rides you have left, and if a system is open to exploit, but it won't assist you in the act of exploiting. We reached out to both New Jersey's PATH and San Francisco MUNI on the issue, but have yet to hear back as of publishing.

Goodbye Summer | Tom's Astronomy Blog

Autumns colors touches Brush Hill in Stowe VT. Image links to VT FPR foliage information site. Credit: VT Forest Parks and Recreation

The last full day of summer is here. The autumnal equinox arrives tomorrow at 10:49 am EDT. I bet there are a LOT of you out there jumping for joy in anticipation of cooler temperatures and some fall rains. I can?t say as I blame you one little bit. Temperatures in the 100?s are a bit crazy IMHO.

I on the other hand, had a nice summer, plenty of warm temps and bright sunny days and am a little sad to see it go. The leaves are changing some right in this area and really changing on the mountains. This particular area is usually later for peak foliage viewing owning to the nice wide Champlain Valley and moderate climate for these parts.

Here is a link to the Old Farmers Almanac?s treatment of the equinox.

The image above is way better than the one I took of the same thing.? This scene is located a couple hours north of here. No need to travel very far as scenes like this rule the short autumn foliage season just about anywhere you go.? It?s also little wonder the area is a destination for thousands of ?leaf peepers?.

Clicking the image will take you to a State of Vermont site about the current foliage season.? Yes, it won?t be long before that blaze of color will be replaced with the white snows of winter.? For those not from the eastern US or into skiing the Stowe area is a world renown ski town, one of many in the state.

Did you happen to get pictures of the shuttle Endeavour on its final flight (and the last flight of any of the shuttles) or do you know someone who did? I?m jealous

More importantly NASA would like your/their help. Read this from NASA if you can help:

Help NASA Document the Historical Last Journey of the Space Shuttle Endeavor

The end of the active flight missions of the Space Shuttle Program is being celebrated with the transfer of the space shuttles to various museums for permanent display in an effort to further educate the public about the successful program. Endeavour will be the last shuttle to be transferred via the shuttle carrier aircraft thus making it the last time a shuttle will fly, a very historic moment in NASA?s history. This last ferry flight will originate from Kennedy Space Center prior to embarking on the historic last leg of the flight throughout the state of California into Los Angeles International Airport. We are extremely fortunate to have this rare opportunity to view Endeavour as she arrives in California.

Goal
To engage the public, specifically the students, in a fun way to document this historical event of the Endeavor Flyover, while also promoting NASA STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math).

Overview
By reaching out to California School districts, the challenge is for students to take a photograph of the shuttle flyover and/or during the transport from LAX to the California Science Center.

These pictures can then be uploaded (by teachers) and then a panel of judges will select ?winning photos?. Winning photos may be posted on NASA websites, and exhibited for NASA visitor centers and other education venues, or used for other NASA purposes. There will be an option of having a NASA day at the winning school sites.

How to Submit Images
* Teachers select the four best photos from their students and upload them to:

http://www.flickr.com/groups/spaceshuttleendeavour/

* Submitted Photos: Reference Name & Location of School and Teacher
* Submission Deadline: 9 NOV 2012
