On Iowa swing, Romney whacks the president
DUBUQUE, Iowa ? Mitt Romney warmed up the chilly crowd at a grassroots rally at a paper company this afternoon with some family togetherness and political red meat ? aiming his fire at President Obama as he seeks to win tomorrow?s caucuses.
?You helped me last time around, I?m expecting you to do the same thing. I need you to get out and caucus I need your friends to caucus,? said Romney to the rowdy crowd before turning his comments to Obama. ?When it comes to jobs in the private sector I think it helps to have had one ... This president has inherited a tough economy, but he didn?t make it better, he made it worse.?
Romney even got a sarcastic snicker from an audience member as he detailed what Obama was supposed to have done, ?He was going to repair the nation, he said, and repair the world and ... that?s a good laugh. This guy?s laughing in the front.?
Romney squeezed onto a stage at Weber Paper Company in eastern Iowa with six other family members including his three sons, his wife, Ann, and his brother Scott and his wife under a campaign sign saying ?Believe in America.?
?Just in case none of you showed up, just in case we didn?t have an audience here, I brought my family,? joked Romney. ?We?re doing this for family.?
Romney even rolled out the campaign blooper reel, detailing an incident in Dubuque during his 2008 presidential run when his wife apparently fell as a stage collapsed.
?This has been a source of lots of good humor for our family,? Romney said about the tumble. ?She went down to the ground, landed on her backside, I said, ?How are you honey?? A little later she said, ?Well, I fell on du-butt in Dubuque.???
Former Iowa Republican party chairman Brian Kennedy said the eastern counties that Romney is touring today have always been battleground counties in the state ? and Romney has consistently done well here, according to Kennedy.
?This is the part that will decide who will carry the state,? said Kennedy, a Romney supporter. Romney Iowa strategist David Kochel said he?s seeing ?continued big crowds and a sense of enthusiasm from Iowa voters.?
The crowd has swelled since Romney?s early morning event in Davenport, ballooning to roughly 400 people. Brad Herring, of Dubuque, was wearing a ?Mitt Romney for President? pin he snagged for $3 from a vendor inside the event.
?I think Mitt Romney has the best opportunity to beat Barack Obama,? said Herring, who said that unlike many Iowans he prefers a more moderate candidate. He believes Romney can nab first or second place.

British military updating war simulators to keep up with Xbox games (Digital Trends)
The MoD currently uses something called Battlespace2; troops that were sent to Afghanistan had training with this digital war simulator. However, the older system?s clunky graphics don?t measure up to popular commercial first person shooters such as the Call of Duty series, Battlefield 3 or Killzone 3. The military just hasn?t had the money to keep up with the advances of the lucrative gaming industry.
In an interview with The Guardian, Technical team leader for the MoD?s Science and Technology Lab, Andrew Poulter said: ?Back in the 1980s and 1990s, [defense] was far out in front in terms of quality of simulation. Military-built simulators were state of the art. But now?you can buy a commercial game that will be far more realistic than the sorts of tools we were using. The truth is, the total spending on games development across the industry will be greater than spending on [defense].?
The military has generally been steering towards cost-effective technology improvements?such as giving recruits iPad?s instead of having to continuously update large training manuals, as well as relying more on digital battle simulators as training budgets get cut. Poulter points out that live training can be cut down and could serve the purpose of cementing skills already learned in digital training; this would mean less resources consumed, such as ammunition, explosives or using tanks and other military craft.
Poulter and his team are working on better image generation, and are focusing on more realism as opposed to the entertainment focus of commercial games. Though plot will still be needed by the military games to immerse recruits, Poulter wants to prioritize how ?credible? the mechanics are, for example: how far bullets travel, how digital cars respond to controls, or the atmosphere when a convoy gets bombed. However, ultimately the goal is to engage recruits so they remember their lessons on the real battlefield.
?Virtual Battlespace is quite good fun, and we want trainees to want to do training,? said Poulter.
