Davis is like an extra lineman out there blocking. With Davis in there you at least can keep the defense guessing whether it will be a run or pass. Recently the jets have been sending out Jason Smith or Ducasse, basically telling the opposing D it will be a run.
And let's face it, stone hands or not, all Davis does is catch TDs -- 11 scores on just 47 career receptions!!!
If he's cheap, get him
Fred Davis was selected in the 2nd round in 2008. He became the Skins' starter in 2011 and recorded 60 catches for about 800 yards despite missing 4 games for failing a drug test. He was franchised last year getting 5.45m. He was in track for another good season until he tore his ACL. If signing good injured players is the Jets plan, he would fit the mold. Skins are hoping to re-sign him since there seems to be little interest due to the risks.

Recently I have continued to research centralisation and diversity of Pokemon metagames from their usages, and am confirming that my previous research was correct. First of all, a little history. A few months ago, I defined the diversity of a metagame as follows. I first check the minimum number of Pokemon having a nonzero probability of any two of them being together in a team. This means, for example, that if Scizor, Metagross, Tyranitar and Lucario satisfy this property, then this number would be 4. I repeat this for three, four, five and six Pokemon, thus extracting five numbers in all. The diversity would thus be the last of these numbers, but written as a summation of the others. The way these numbers are found is rather simple. You first take the percentage usages, and start summing them up together cumulatively. This is called a cumulative frequency distribution. At the points where the cumulative frequency first exceeds 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, check the number of Pokemon used up until that summation, and that would be the minimum number of Pokemon having a nonzero probability of any 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of them being together in a team respectively. Now this cumulative frequency distribution can be plotted graphically. Let's do this for the Standard, UU, Uber and Suspect metagames of the previous month, May: (Note that the above aren't strictly cumulative frequency distributions because they adds up to 6 instead of to 1, but this can be easily rectified by dividing each percentage usage by 6.) Let's look at the graphs above more closely, in particular where the number 1 on the vertical axis is. The violet graph (Suspect) becomes 1 when the x-value (number of Pokemon) is about 2. For Uber, this is about 2.5, for Standard this is about 5 and for UU this is about 5.5. These numbers are none other than the first of the numbers I defined at the start. The other numbers are found where the graphs become 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. So we conclude that the Suspect metagame was slightly less diverse than Uber was in May, while Standard and UU were much more diverse. To illustrate, from the graphs above, the diversity numbers for Standard would be 5, 11, 21, 35 and 63, which can be written as 5 + 6 + 10 + 14 + 18 = 63. The other metagames would have the following diversity numbers: UU: 6, 15, 27, 45, 79, which can be written as 6 + 9 + 12 + 18 + 24 = 79. Uber: 3, 6, 10, 16, 27, which can be written as 3 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 11 = 27. Suspect: 2, 5, 9, 14, 26, which can be written as 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 12 = 26. More than a year ago, I had already commented that the usages of Pokemon seem to follow what is called an exponential distribution. This can be readily confirmed by looking at the graphs above. What is interesting is that I have never encountered Pokemon usages whose graph shape differed from the above. This seems to suggest that Pokemon usages following an exponential distribution is no coincidence but must follow from how the players choose their Pokemon to be on a team. What's even more interesting is that an exponential distribution has only one parameter called lambda (the greek letter l). In a nutshell, the larger lambda is, the steeper its graph starts (like the Suspect and Uber graphs, which seem to have a very similar lambda value). But as we said before, the shape of the graphs alone can give us this information about diversity, and the shape of the graphs are governed by just a single value (lambda). But how can this lambda be found? One simple approximation involves the diversity value we found. The cumulative frequency distribution has its inverse equal to -ln(1-x) / lambda. Since the diversity value is at 5/6 of the cumulative frequency distribution, we can use it to find an approximate value for lambda: Code: Diversity ~ -ln(1-(5/6)) / lambda = -ln(1/6) / lambda = ln(6) / lambda lambda = ln(6) / Diversity [B] lambda ~ 1.792 / Diversity[/B] This confirms that the lambda value is a measure of centralisation, as it is inversely proportional to the measure of diversity by its definition above, and, intuitively, centralisation and diversity are inversely proportional. Hence, the Suspect lambda value is about 1.792 / 26 = 0.0689, the Uber lambda value is about 1.792 / 27 = 0.0664, the Standard lambda value is about 1.792 / 63 = 0.0284 while the UU lambda value is about 1.792 / 79 = 0.0227. One final thing. Since the above graphs vary between 0 and 6, 3 is the value from which we can find the median. The median is the minimum number of Pokemon that contribute to half the usages (this is also equal to our third number in the diversity numbers). From the graphs above, the Suspect median is 9, the Uber median is 10, the Standard median is 21 and the UU median is 26. This means that, for example, in the May Suspect metagame, the top 9 Pokemon in the usages list contributed to more than half of the total usages, which further means that one of the top 9 Pokemon was more probable to be used than one of the remaining 490 or so Pokemon. Replace the number 9 in the previous sentence by the medians for the other metagames.
Cool stuff. One could probably argue that the suspect metagame being of a similar level of centralization to Uber means that the suspects are too centralizing, but then again anyone playing on the suspect ladder is required to use them to gain voting rights so that wouldn't stand up. It's quite interesting how close they are, though. I wonder if you could show the centralization curves for previous suspect metagames, as well as possibly the centralization curve for the last few months of Garchomp's standard usage, to get a picture of what overcentralization looks like. Also do you have the centralization tables from May? (x y z - two of these pokemon were used on a standard team, etc). I can't seem to find them.
I'm unsure if it's an error in the program you used to draw the graphs, or an anomaly in the data itself, but the suspect ladder graph appears to have a different derivative than expected between x = 20 and x = 35. While I agree with you 100% that the other three curves all follow an exponential distribution, the suspect ladder seems to have a second term that is causing some sort of miscalculation. There is no apparent reason that the concavity in that interval should be close to zero, as in fact it should be at it's minimum concavity in that interval. Again, this could be attributed entirely to the program drawing the graph, however you may wish to consider the possibility of a second term.
Try doing this for only the top 25 and it will tell a different story methinks. The standard and UU ladders are dominated by a minor number of team configurations, and, similarly, it becomes extremely centralized the better the teams get. The Uber metagame is more centralized because ubers are few, but extremely powerful, of course, Kyogre is still extremely widely used.
@jimmyolsen: Actually, all the 4 graphs above are not exact exponential distributions, but follow it approximately. The Suspect curve happens to be the one that strays the furthest from the exact exponential curve the most. EDIT: Maybe the exclusion of Deoxys-S in the middle of the month period could have contributed to this. @d2m: Was yours an answer to jimmyolsen or to me? If it was to me, I don't understand. The UU metagame contains the least amount of Pokemon to choose from but is still the one having the highest diversity, while Ubers contains the most amount of Pokemon to choose from but is one of the least diverse metagames.
Great job here, I appriciate the time and effort put into this. excellent to see a chart, it makes information easy to read and study. Obviously, Uber and suspect are going to be the least diverse, otherwise it wouldn't be suspect and uber. In fact, on suspect, you can see the huge steep slope, where the "suspect(s)" is/are, and from 2 upwards it follows the standard line (roughly) from the start. I am right in saying this is May's statistics?
Hmm that's pretty Smart X-Act. Is this from May's or April's stats? And cheers this is some pretty interesting and intriguing stuff. Wow the ubers and suspect ladders are a lot less used than I thought.
No, that's a misconception. When you have access to Ubers, there are few non-Uber pokemon that can be completely viable in the tier thanks to the large stat difference between OU and Ubers, whereas UU and NU (the largest tier) stats are extremely close, meaning many NUs are viable in UU. In OU, there are also very few UUs and NUs that are viable. Just because there's a larger number available doesn't mean there's any incentive to use the vast majority. My other point was that the farther up the leaderboard you go, the more centralized it gets, bad and random teams skew the actual ranking.
Brilliant, I agree with this being an effective measure (though checking lambda only from one data point at 5/6 could lead to slight irregularities, but may not be easily remedied and so long as the graphs stick close to exponential should be fine.). Do you intend to produce these each time the stats come out/OU list is remade or is this one off? Suspect being more centralised may have something to do with the need for using the suspects on each team to qualify, however once you get out of the top 10 where the suspects should generally lie I think that something else may take over. People are likely to be less inclined to try out rarer Pokemon if they are specifically working towards a rating goal, making the ladder more competitive and in this case more centralised around Pokemon known to be very effective. In short, more incentive to win means people stick with the best of the best causing centralisation in Suspect.
Interesting stuff. Thanks for the insight, X-Act! By the way, ln is log of e, right? I'm already forgetting what I learnt in Pre-Calc earlier this year...
Strictly speaking, wouldn't it be better to simply do a least-squares fit to the data to find lambda? ie, instead of using the 5/6 method on the cumulative distribution function, do an exponential fit to the probability distribution function (or a linear fit to the logarithm of said function). That should give better values for lambda. It can also give you an idea of how good the exponential fit is. Additionally, I wonder what the fact that usage distributions are nearly always exponential tells us about how people choose Pokemon for their teams.
That's the whole point of these graphs. Ubers has the largest available pool of pokemon (everything except Arceus because he hasn't been released yet, right?) but the least diversity because the game is centralised around the few 680s and the tiny number of pokemon that can stand up to them on some level.
Exactly my point. But I'm pointing out they are skewed towards more diversity by accepting every team, even the fringe, joke, and just plain bad teams. If you start to restrict it up the ladder, it gets ridiculously centralized, and I think that's what needs more attention.
I appreciate the info, X-Act, you're fantastic as always. But for people like me who are "C average" math students and couldn't read a graph if their lives depended on it - what does the data show?
The fact that it's exponential simply shows that people acknowledge the more obvious synergy of various combinations. There's absolutely no way that such a correlation could be expressed as a Normal, Laplacian, or Maxwell distribution. I'm somewhat surprised that an exponential curve fits the data better than a Zeta or various other power-based distribution. I would have expected the cumulative distribution to have scaled much faster than it did. The fact that it didn't fit Zipf's model (which was originally based on what words get used together), is incredibly surprising.
Yes, you could do that. You could also reduce the cumulative frequency distribution equation to linear form and apply linear regression. These would probably find a better value for lambda, but the method to find lambda from the diversity has the merit of being much quicker and, more importantly, shows that diversity and lambda are inversely proportional.
I'm curious, given past data for the metagame , this looks like a solid way to calculate the change in diversity over time. I'm not sure how much data you have archived, but seeing how the diversity of the metagame has changed (especially with the addition or removal of suspect pokemon) would be very interesting.
I would find it interesting to see this with types instead of pokemon. People complain that OU is only Steel and Dragon. I would like to see what percentage of teams have 1, 2, etc of a certain type.
So, X-Act, in order to make that graph, I assume you have the usage data in some sort of spreadsheet or something. Any chance you could upload that somewhere so we could do some analysis of our own?
Honestly, yesterday I've been thinking more about this and I'm not entirely sure that this is an exponential distribution anymore. Or if it is, I'm not seeing what the lambda value signifies exactly. Also, since this is strictly speaking a discrete distribution and not a continuous one, this is more akin to a geometric distribution rather than an exponential one, which has the cumulative distribution function 1 - (1-p)^k, but that's not the problem. The problem is the following. Since the cumulative usages c_1, c_2, c_3, ... should equal 1 - (1-p)^1, 1 - (1-p)^2, 1 - (1-p)^3, etc., this can be used to find what p is... but, unfortunately, p varies a bit too much to be supposed to be constant. So, while what I wrote in the original post is not incorrect as such, it wouldn't be valid if the distribution is not exponential (or geometric).
Sorry for this sounding a bit dumb, but I didn't understand the graph. I did understand that the number means 'more versatile' when it's higher, but I didn't get what the numbers actually stand for. 1 pokemon for each 5?ect... I would really aprecciate an explanation, I'm only in middle school x_x
1) Take the percentage usages from Doug's statistics. 2) Add them up cumulatively. 3) Plot the points and join. A point (x,y) on the graph would mean "The sum of the percentage usages of all Pokemon from #1 to #x on the ladder is y".

Unfortunately, for increasing numbers of teenage African American and Latino males, prison is becoming a rite of passage and their presence in juvenile detention facilities has become more and more profitable.
No longer can we ignore the reality that our children are dying. No longer can we close our eyes to the immense pain and suffering of these grieving parents, siblings and loved ones. No longer can we act as if this doesn't impact us.

I started to think of the underrepresentation of other minorities in the fashion industry and the limited diversity in many other art culture subsets. As a result, I decided to look around and to give more recognition to these six creators who are following their passions.

look: 5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5
wow. let me start off by saying....wow. this is a perfect example of a fruit beer, i am NOT an apricot fan, or a fruity beer fan for that matter . thanks to my coworker Libby and her boyfriend for picking this up on their trip to Colorado to see the "string cheese incident" and for SHARING it despite its unbelievable goodness!...its more than i would have done ! ;)
appearance: Beautiful golden color and extreamly UNFILTERED, "brewed with apricot puree"...NO KIDDING! soooo hazy with little floatees floating around in their fabulous fashion... in thee words of "Modest Mouse".... FLOAT ON! 3/4th inch white fluffy head that dissipates very quickly.
smell: nothing but apricot, based only off the smell u'd think this one would be a fruit bomb, where you taste nothing but apricot, but its not. Like walking threw a apricot orchid if such a thing exist...
taste: perfectly balanced! not overpoweringly apricotty as you would assume from the smell. in fact the smell is really where the apricot stops and lends itself to the balanced flavor of this beer, this gem is all about balance, no hops or malts apparent but the apricot is in the forefront but again not overpowering AT ALL. amazing!
mouthfeel: so smooth, low carbination which i absoloutly love!! and easy to drink.
overall: i said it twice and i'll say it again, wow! perfect.

A – Pours a hazy bright orange with a thin white head that fades quickly and leaves little lacing.
S – Quite sweet, huge fresh apricot, little to nothing else.
T – Not as powerful apricot here, nice light wheat notes and slightly bitter.
M – Easy to drink, carbonated nicely, perhaps a bit thin.
O – Huge apricot on the nose, drinks more though like a standard wheat beer with a bit more sweetness to it. Not bad.

3.64/5 rDev -2.9%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
On tap at Falling Rock. Cloudy orangish pour, mostly white head on it, about .3" in depth. Average lacing, retention etc. . .
Aroma was nice, apricot firmly planted under the nose. A bready apricot experience.
Taste, more apricot, not quite as nice as the aroma, but still above average. Bitterness is there, seemingly not derived from the hops. Relatively light body in the mouthfeel. Apricot hanging around, the beer definitely delivers the apricot here. Its sweet, but not excessive with it. Carbonation is high.
I think it delivers as an apricot ale just as much as anything that isn't wild or whatnot (its far from being as good as Cascade's Apricot). Would recommend for people who like fruit beers.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 2 | feel: 1.5 | overall: 2
12 oz can. Pours hazy golden orange with a thin fine white head that goes to a thin dusting and leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is sweet apricots. Simple, but nice.
The flavor is sweet but musty apricots and kind of champagne-like. The mouthfeel is a bit thin and watery with some spritzy carbonation.
Overall, an OK but simple apricot ale. A bit too watery, and doesn't taste as good as it smells.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 2
A: The head foams out of the bottle at a pretty ridiculous rate and the carbonation explodes out of the glass. Semi-hazy yellow pour with a big white head. 3.5
S: It smells a lot like apricot puree with a very small amount of wheat and yeast underneath. Not really anything special, just sweet and sort of artificial apricots. 3
T: The apricot is really strong and pretty over the top sweet...and there's not really anything else there. Too fake at points. 2
MF: The drinkability is really poor. I had trouble finishing the full bottle. Too sweet, overcabonated, and really light. 2
O: Pretty disappointed here. Don't know how it got so overcabonated. Not a big fan of the puree flavors at all, I much prefer beers made with fresh apricots. 2

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
From the 22 oz. bottle. Sampled on September 5, 2012.
The pour was a moderately heady golden copper with a fading head that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is mainly apricot fruit and sweet pale malts. It almost has a honey scent with a little yeast playing in the background.
The body is creamy and light. The texture is much like honey.
The taste also brings out the boldness of apricot with a more toned down sweet malt character a low bitterness that does not linger. Very refreshing for a warm Colorado day.

NewsU of A researcher speaks about homophobic bullying to YK 1 parents, studentsMonday, April 30, 2012 - 3:51 PM Yellowknife, N.W.T. - A researcher from the University of Alberta was the guest of honour for a presentation hosted by Yellowknife Education District Number 1 earlier this month. Doctor Kristopher Wells spoke to parents and students about homophobic bullying in schools at William McDonald School and his appearance was due in part to an earlier presentation in Edmonton last year. YK 1's vice-chair John Stephenson said Wells' presentation focused on the stigma of gay slurs in schools. "It's a long standing issue in our society and in our schools," he said. "(Wells) has an excellent and well-informed presentation he gives to groups." Stephenson said it's not something which is a huge problem to the board's knowledge, but it's all about taking a pro-active approach. "We use language such as 'It's so gay' as something which is very normal to say, but for a person who would identify with that group, that creates an atmosphere of a lack of safety for them to be identified with that gender minority group," he said. Wells also met with principals from some of YK 1's schools and Stephenson said they would like to have him return at some point, but that decision won't be made until after the next round of board elections later this year. The presentation was also sponsored by the NWT Human Rights Commission.

New 'Food Pyramid' to Include Physical Activity To Address Obesity EpidemicPosted: Monday, February 09, 2004
Officials said that the new guidelines -- due to be released in the summer in draft form and finalized in January, 2005 -- will likely reflect a key part of weight control that millions of Americans are missing: Burning calories through physical activity is as important as watching what you eat. "Making sure you've got your energy well in mind...has got to be a greater goal," said Dr. Eric Hentges, director of the center for nutrition policy and promotion at the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). The current food pyramid hanging in health clinics and school lunchrooms throughout the nation was released in 1992 with an emphasis on carbohydrates from bread and grains and at least five servings per day of fruits and vegetables. Obesity has risen steadily since then, and today an estimated 61 percent of American adults are obese or overweight. Hentges told reporters Wednesday that the pyramid was not a failure, but that it did not take into account the entire picture of what is causing Americans to gain weight in such alarming numbers. "The focus was not on obesity and overweight in 1992," he said. A USDA advisory panel met last week in Washington to hear recommendations on how the agency should change the pyramid. "It's very important to have physical activity on the pyramid. It's certainly as important as dietary intake," Dr. Frank Hu, a researcher at the Harvard University School of Public Health told the panel, which is made up of food industry representatives, nutrition experts, and consumer groups. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults do 30 minutes of moderate exercise like walking or bike riding each day. More than 60 percent of adults do not achieve that level, according to the agency. Officials are retooling the pyramid to reflect new nutritional recommendations laid out by the National Academies of Science in August 2002. Studies have shown that average Americans eat far more fat and sugar and far less fresh fruits and vegetables than the recommendations call for. For example, the average woman would have to eat 52 percent more fruit to meet nutritional requirements, while the average man would have to eat more than double the amount of fruit he currently eats to be in line with what experts recommend. Experts expressed alarm at Americans' apparent lack of interest in dark-green vegetables like spinach and legumes like peas and beans, two food groups that deliver a wide range of nutrients while keeping calories low. The average woman needs to eat 330 percent more dark green vegetables and the average man 406 percent more to meet recommendations, according to USDA data. Meanwhile, consumers report in surveys that they eat twice as much sugar and fat as they should based on recommended daily caloric intake. " Hentges told reporters that the government was unlikely to attempt a drastic overhaul of its dietary and activity guidelines despite the out-of-control obesity epidemic. "We got to this thing by 200 calories per day over the year" instead of by huge amounts of overeating, he said. "We are going to have to reduce it with the same small steps." Hentges also suggested that the nation must find a way soon to stem the obesity problem. "We don't have time to dink around with this," he said. Source: Diabetes In Control |

The Journal Sentinel's Craig Gilbert explores political trends in a purple state and beyond.
The push to end election-day registration in Wisconsin: How strong is the case?
For more than 30 years, Wisconsinites have been able to register to vote on election day.
But Republicans now in power in Madison would like to end this practice.
The issue has gotten little attention compared with another change the party is pushing: requiring photo ID at the polls.
But ending election-day registration would be a major change to Wisconsin's election system. It would impose new costs and regulations on the state. It would likely reduce voter turnout. In partisan terms, most people in the political world assume it would depress Democratic turnout more than Republican turnout, which helps explain why Republicans support the change and Democrats oppose it.
But the real issue for the state is whether it would improve or detract from the way elections are conducted.
The longtime head of the state's election system, Kevin Kennedy, believes it would be a big mistake.
"Repealing it would be shortsighted and would be a tremendous disservice to the voters," says Kennedy, director of the Government Accountability Board, who also called it a "financially foolhardy step to take."
A little background: In most states, voters have to be registered by a certain date before the election in order to vote. In the mid-'70s, Minnesota and Wisconsin became the first two states in the country to let voters register at the polls on election day. Others followed, and today nine states permit it in all elections and three more allow it in presidential contests.
The states that have election-day registration tend to have high turnout. In 2008, the top six turnout states (ranked by the percentage of eligible voters who voted) were, according to George Mason University turnout expert Michael McDonald: Minnesota (77.7%), Wisconsin (72.1%), New Hampshire (71.1%), Maine (70.9%), Colorado (70.2%), and Iowa (69.7%). All but Colorado have election-day registration.
There are clearly explanations for this pattern beyond election-day registration. But researchers who control for other factors have generally concluded that by itself, election-day registration increases participation by a few percentage points.
"Research consistently shows that EDR boosts turnout," says a 2009 study by several University of Wisconsin professors.
One reason is the convenience of registering and voting in one trip. Another is that a voter who gets interested in the closing days of the election can still vote even if he or she hadn't thought to register earlier. Another is that it makes voting easier for people who have moved around a lot.
In Wisconsin, anywhere from 10% to 15% of voters typically register on election day. In 2008, about 460,000 people used election-day registration. Many were new voters, but many were habitual voters updating their addresses.
What are the arguments for ending election-day registration? The two most common are: reducing the chaos of election day caused by voters performing two tasks (registering and voting) instead of one (voting); and reducing voter fraud by having a gap (of say 10 or 30 days) between the close of registration and the vote.
State GOP chair Reince Priebus, now also the party's national chairman, says the change "would help keep our elections clean and honest" and make it possible to have an election day "that's not a complete zoo."
Bob Spindell, the GOP member of the City of Milwaukee's election commission, says the Republican proposal "would turn some of our polling places that are really in chaos into well-run orderly locations where they come up (to vote) and they are already registered." He also cites Milwaukee police investigators who looked at voter fraud and recommended requiring photo ID at the polls and ending election-day registration.
Let's consider Kennedy's take on those two arguments, since he has been overseeing the state's elections for years.
Kennedy says getting rid of election-day registration would not so much streamline the experience of voters and poll workers on election day as alter it. Let's say you show up to vote and you're not on the voting list. Under the current system you typically go to another line to show documentation of residence, register and then come back and vote. If election-day registration were eliminated, you would have the right under federal law to cast a provisional ballot that would be scrutinized later. Those ballots then have to be processed.
"It's not like you get rid of the extra attention for people not registered. You redirect it to an equally, if not more, time-consuming process," says Kennedy.
By having election-day registration, Wisconsin has in effect side-stepped a different source of chaos that can affect other states: those provisional ballots, which can run in the tens of thousands and can leave a close election unresolved on election night. Kennedy says provisional ballots "will skyrocket" in Wisconsin if election-day registration ends.
He also says ending election-day registration would create an additional new layer of cost and bureaucracy for the state. The state is now exempt from mandates of the federal "motor-voter" law because it has election-day registration. That law requires state motor vehicle and social welfare agencies to try to register their customers and clients to vote. It also imposes new federal reporting requirements on those agencies and elections officials, and would have the unintended effect of forcing the state to keep more than one voter list, says Kennedy.
Kennedy says opponents of election-day registration are "not looking at the bureaucratic morass that's now going to be imposed on state agencies and local election officials by having to comply with pre-election requirements to turn DOT (Department of Transportation) workers and social welfare state employees into voter registrars."
What about the argument that ending election-day registration would reduce the potential for fraud?
Fraud has been a huge and emotional issue for Wisconsin Republicans since losing the state in 2000 and 2004 by tiny margins in the presidential contest. It's an article of faith within the party that fraud is not only real but has changed election outcomes. The problem with this debate is that there's not a lot of evidence, in either official investigations or academic research, of systematic or extensive voter fraud (even in the Milwaukee police investigation cited above).
"It just doesn't exist on a widespread basis," says Doug Lewis, head of the National Association of Election Officials.
Nor is there much evidence that fraud is a particular by-product of election-day registration.
Republicans in Madison are now virtually certain to adopt a photo ID requirement at the polls. But that leaves the question of what additional benefit ending election-day registration might have in protecting against the possibility of voter fraud. With photo ID in place, many people who register on election day would have to present, in person, two different documents. One would be a picture ID. If that photo ID didn't include a current address, those people would also have to provide separate documentation of their current address.
Any discussion of election reform has to acknowledge an obvious political point: The way elections are conducted is as partisan an issue as you can find in politics today.
"Democrats are in love with (election-day registration). Republicans hate it. And the two sides will never ever agree that the other is right," says Doug Lewis.
By and large, Democrats want more liberal rules. Republicans want more restrictive rules. Democrats say they want to encourage turnout. Republicans say they want to discourage fraud. In the end, you can count on both parties to favor rules they think will benefit them.
In this case, Democrats believe that Democratic-leaning groups (young and low-income voters especially) are the most likely to take advantage of election-day registration, because they are less likely to be registered in the first place or because they're more transient. Election-day registration certainly makes it easier for college students in Wisconsin, some of whom come from other states, to vote. And in recent elections, college students have voted decisively for Democrats. Republicans also believe that election-day registration is helpful to Democrats, otherwise they would never support getting rid of it.
Whether this is in fact true – that Democrats derive a net benefit from election-day registration – is not known with any real certainty.
"In most of the occasions where I've worked on these issues for a very long time, more often than not the political parties are wrong about what's good for them," says Lewis. "But you can't convince them of that."
A study by University of Wisconsin political scientist Barry Burden challenges the conventional wisdom about this. Burden examined the moment when Wisconsin fully converted to election-day registration in the mid-'70s and found that the new rule actually boosted the 1976 GOP presidential vote, controlling for all other factors. It was what scholars call a natural experiment, because different communities had different registration rules at the time. The statewide switch to election-day registration presented a one-time chance to isolate the effects of that change. How did it boost the GOP vote? Burden's explanation is that the people motivated enough to take advantage of election day registration had demographic characteristics more strongly associated with Republicans than Democrats (having higher income, being married, owning a home, going to church, etc.). It helps to read the full paper to see how this might work. (Go here to click on "working papers," then click on the paper titled, "The Impact of Election Day Registration on Voter Turnout and Election Outcomes.")
People in both parties will be skeptical of the idea that ending election-day registration could depress the turnout of Republicans more than Democrats. But the study is a cautionary lesson about political assumptions.
Burden, who has spent a lot of time studying Wisconsin's election system, says ending election-day registration runs against the general historical trend in the U.S. of making voting easier for more people.
"It's going to be an expense for the state," adds Burden. "And you may do something that actually hurts your party if you're Republican."
According to Kennedy:
"You're the driving up the cost of running elections, probably creating messier voting data as a result, and not really combating election fraud in the process, and at the cost of inconveniencing a significant number of voters."

If you can't plan ahead just a little, then you are a nit-wit. Here's a reminder for said nit-wits--the 2012 Presidential election is in less than 2 years. Might want to register soon. Oh, and get an ID.
I want to get rid of same-day registration. It opens the door to fraud, and creates longer lines at the polls. While the fraud may not be widespread, when the vote count is close, the fraud could make all the difference.
We also need to make people register 6 months in advance for their party primary. This whole thing of "I show up on primary day and decide to vote Republican or Democrat" is just plain dumb and does nothing for party building. Furthermore, there are idiots at the polls on primary day going, "what do you mean I can't vote for Barrett and Walker, what a dumb rule." It is undermining the primary system and making it difficult for moderates in assembly and senate races to make it through when the other party has a hot primary at the top of the ticket. -
Photo ID means people using same day registration are already proving
who they are. -
Nice to see lawyers from waukesha trying to mess things up even
The voter is supposed to be more important that party when people
Thus they get to pick their party.
Both parties got together and ended when people could pick who they
thought the best people were from either party (meaning if you wanted
to vote for one guy in one party for one office you and vote for another
guy in a different party you could to).
Why did parties end this?
Because they wanted people to care more about voting for a party than
for a decent candidate. -
I like being able to pick which party I vote in.
It makes voters more important than parties.
The way it used to be was that you could pick one person per office in
a primary regardless of party-this let voters pick who they thought the
best people were no matter what party. -
Requiring Photo ID at the polls = good idea.
Eliminating same day registration = really bad idea. -
Voting is sacred. It needs to be treated with its own set of rules. And those rules should make it as easy to vote as possible. This is especially so in light of so many efforts by Republicans and conservatives to disqualify voters, here and across the country.
We have not come as far as we would like to think from the days when white electors would ask black voter applicants, "How many bubbles in a bar of soap?"
My favorite trick fromr ecent years is GOP operatives running voter lists against U.S. mail delivery. Did you ever think you'd see Republicans standing up in public and touting the efficiency of the postal system?
Voter fraud? Not a real issue. Unless you're looking for any hook you can to disenfgranchise people who may not vote the way you think is best and proper. -
RidgeRunner - we are making up for the supposed "sins" of the past by now allowing people to vote as often as they like in each election.
I am a Republican and am for voter ID, but against eliminating same day registration. I've already had two instances where I was registered, went to vote and I didn't show up on the voter rolls. Under the propsed system, I assume I would not be able to vote.
Requiring ID eliminates 95% of fraud. I think the Reps are overreaching here. -
Ridgerunner, no voter fraud ??? Explain, in detail, why there were THOUSANDS more people registered to vote in Milwaukee county than ELIGIBLE voters ??
THAT is the really "disenfgranchise"ment, not the made up variety from 2000 and 2004 that Democrats STILL bring up.
Only one, YES ONE, group of people were disenfranchised from voting in 2000, 2004 or 2008. That ONE group were overseas military personnel.

The poll numbers continue to look good for Mitt Romney in the state of Florida, as new surveys out today give Romney a nine point edge over Newt Gingrich in the Republican race for President.
It's been a head-shaking last few days when it comes to polls, as Romney has gone from double digit leads to behind by eight points to ahead by 7-9 points.
"Speaker Newt Gingrich's momentum from his South Carolina victory appears to have stalled and Gov. Mitt Romney seems to be pulling away in Florida," said Peter Hamby of Quinnipiac University.
The Quinnipiac poll which gave Romney a nine point edge came just two days after the same organization had found Romney with a two point advantage - a seven point increase in 48 hours.
So, just as Gingrich suddenly turned the tables a weeek ago in South Carolina, the same thing is happening for Romney in Florida.
"9.9 percent of Floridians out of work," Romney said in a Miami appearance on Friday morning.
"This is unacceptable," Romney added.
Gingrich also emphasized economic issues in the same forum, saying it's not just about individual ethnic groups.
"Virtually everybody has aspirations that are at the heart of the American dream," Gingrich said.
Gingrich spoke before Romney, and gave no signs of giving up, as his campaign issued an ambitious schedule that will take him all over the state on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Gingrich will rumble his way along the I-4 corridor on Saturday, while Romney will have events in the Florida Panhandle, in Panama City and Pensacola.
We'll see where my car takes me in this state, which is a bit more difficult to cover as a one-man reporting operation than Iowa, New Hampshire or even South Carolina.
Just a few days to go.

I'm waiting for gnome 3.10 and their initial steps on wayland support
Phoronix: The Last GNOME 3.8 Point Release Has Been Made
GNOME 3.8.2 was released this morning and it serves as the last bug-fix release in the GNOME 3.8 series. All work now is being focused on GNOME 3.10...
I'm waiting for gnome 3.10 and their initial steps on wayland support
The Gnome shell developers are already piling up important fixes in the 3.8 branch. It is fair to assume continued development for 3.8
This kinda looks like the effort needed to bring gnome3 to RHEL. Will it be 3.8?
Thank god, this releases finally fixes the most annoying bug of all time: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696882
Anyone who knows about RHEL7 cannot share any information either due to working for Red Hat or having a NDA. No clue what RHEL will use, I don't particularly care, I just use RHEL on servers. What matters to me is that it will use systemd (I RHEL7 alpha using user posted a question to systemd-devel). Regarding GNOME I guess RHEL wants to have that 'Classic' mode.
Ok, I did some poking around at Red Hats Bugzilla service. It sure does look like the next RHEL will have Gnome 3.8. At least the package gnome-shell-3.8.1-1.el7 exists.
Unless Im doing something very wrong it is quite fair to assume Gnome 3.8 is hitting the next RHEL. Im a happy camper. Have a nice weekend.
Edit: And Gnome "Classic" as well.
Last edited by Honton; 05-17-2013 at 01:54 PM.
And some more poking around. Systemd seems to be included as well. No surprise but it is nice to know.
RHEL7 really looks interesting. I went ahead and tried the Fedora19 desktop experience because it will be clise to RHEL7. Wow it is nice. Everything feels a bit more responsive compared to my former distro. I guess it might be related to an updated mesa? Another notable feature is the quick turnaround time of a complete reboot. POST and bootloading are the only slowdowns. Booting up and shutting down is lightning fast. Shutting down is so fast I thought it was a bug or power loss

Playing around with food
20 comments:
I was given a bunch of nectarines and am making fruit leather as I type. Don't you just love this time of year. Your salads look fantatic. I am really into salad with walnuts, avocado, and black beans right now. Just a touch of asian dressing yumm-erific!
I can't wait for your cookbook to come out. So many things to try! The cheese looks great, actually everything looks great!
Where in Ca does your mom live? I am in San Diego Area. I wish you the best of time with your family! Enjoy the company, I know they will enjoy the food.Hope you have a great time with the family! Sounds like you are going to be busy, busy, busy, Mel. The food yer making for them... how lucky they are. Post a photo or two of Arwen, if you can...
How fun the slicer! i don't blame you for havin' some fun with it. Wonder what else yer gonna do with that? i can see all sorts of cool stuff in the future from you.
Nectarine ice cream sounds pretty fabulous. i still haven't tried stevia... i know you are a big believer.
Have you posted the recipe for the sunflower/oat-based cheez? Sounds like it is great on all sorts of things!!Your food pictures are more and more stunning with every new post. Oh Melody, I really wish you were my neighbor. I would love to just pop on over and have a smoothie with you.
I have been drooling and dreaming about your mint cheesecake. I rarely have those ingredients on hand though so it will be a special occasion when I do finally make it. Marty loves the mint and chocolate comibnation though so I'm sure this will be in the upcoming future.What delicious looking photos! You've done it again. Amazing!
I liked your picture of Jorda in the previous post. Simon is always hanging around the kitchen when I'm cooking too & I also give him veggies to munch. He loves peppers, cucumbers, carrots, but will turn his nose up at celery. He thinks he likes cauliflower and broccoli, but then I find it all broken up on the carpet. How's the job going? Sounds like you really enjoy it.I love it when you play with food! That first photo of the spiralized vegetables literally made me gasp- so pretty. and same with the sushi. I'm interested in your ice cream experimentations with xantham gum. I've heard of using that or soy lecithin, but don't know much about either. I have some xantham gum sitting in the kitchen, and have no idea what to do with it!
Have fun with your family and your neice!

A few weeks for the 4s jailbreak??? I hope not. Now that would be a farce!!!!
and in a few months when the i phone 5 is released we will be playing catch up once again.
It would be nice if Apple released a product every 2 years rather than a year or less!
I would highly doubt an iPhone release this year.
Really? Why wouldn't they tho? It can be a year from 4S, do this October, I think this sounds like something apple would do
You think!?!? I really hope not. I need an upgrade from my iPhone 4. Seems like the 4s was just "pushed out" to satisfy customers while they where waiting for bigger improvements for the iPhone 5 (or whatever it will be called). I would see them not releasing an iPad this year before not releasing an iPhone. Just my opinion.
Well, according to this article: Report: iPad 3 in Production, Ready By March
The iPad 3 is already in production.
Well, with most apple related news(rumors) I don't believe until it's confirmed by apple.
I've read some idiotic things posted on this site, but never would I have thought I'd see the dumbest of all coming from contributor.
....Damn dude. He was just stating his opinion. At this point that's all we have is each others opinions.
Ouch there goes your credibility.
It might be just that the sales numbers (source: • Apple iPhone: Sales by quarter 2007-2011 | Statistic ) have been down in the 4th quarter by a couple of million iPhones, maybe even a bigger decrease than apple expected.
But well, it good to see they are finaly catching up with demand, despite the international rollours still occuring.
I would probably expect a new iPhone this year though. I don't think with the growing competition that Apple would really want a year without a new product.

- " This place is amazing. It's about 5 minutes walking from Great Wall hiking trails. I didn't see a single person the two days I was hiking there. The hostel itself is immaculate and has lots of nice touches--free family dinner (lots of options in case you're vegetarian or picky like me), wifi in all the rooms, really nice bathroom, laundry if you need it, plenty of advice on everything and really sweet staff. Highly recommend staying here, the dorm room was a great value. "
- 10 Jul 2013 Anonymous USA
- " Fantastic time here, you need to book at least 3 nights to be able to do both walks/climbs on the wall. We had 2great days and only saw 2 other people. Hostel was great, really nice staff, comfortable beds and lovely food, best food so far on our trip. Don't be put of by the price, its well worth the extra as your staying right on the wall. We had a pick up from Beijing as there we 3 of us, it was easier that the bus. Would definitely come again, maybe in the Autumn. "
