Mixed MarriagesA black man pushes a baby stroller with his Persian wife on his arm, and as they walk down the street, they barely turn a head. Media technology has opened us up to different cultures, making them less foreign and more familiar. Interracial marriage is no longer a curious taboo. Weve found that as humans, we have more similarities than differences, and that love is, indeed, color blind. Yet, although external societal pressures have eased considerably, interracial couples still face unique challenges in maintaining their marriages. Cultural lifestyles, customs and habits can clash, causing misunderstanding. Oftentimes, each spouse isnt fully aware of the adjustments that need to take place. Some of the key potentially problematic areas include: -How to raise their children. Some cultures are more lenient while others are strict when it comes to child-rearing. Some expect the fathers to play a dominant role while in other cultures, the mothers make the rules for their children. -Religious beliefs. Where will the couple worship? Will they worship together or separately? Which faith will their children be taught? Are there unacceptable beliefs on either side that will cause problems? -In-law relationships. In some cultures, it is expected that the firstborn sons wife cares for his aging mother. Some also expect financial support. Will the new spouse live up or down to the in-laws expectations and can both spouses accept that? -Money and finances. Who is expected to bring in the money? Who manages it? Will this cause any resentment? -Sexual relations. Some cultures are open about sexuality while others more reticent. What is taboo in one country may be revered in another. -Food. Believe it or not, even the more obvious areas like food and eating can present problems. My former brother-in-law refused to eat anything other than meat and potatoes. My Asian sister had a rough time when there were family gatherings. Of course, it was not a cause of their eventual divorce, but they surely missed out on a great way to bond. -Cultural expectations about marriage and roles. If roles are forced to change, will each spouse adapt accordingly or will it cause inner turmoil? Yet, mixed marriages also can bring new experiences that add dimension to the relationship. Couples find that they receive -A full-immersion lesson about another culture. Interracial marriage partners often learn a new language, experience fascinating customs, taste new foods and travel to foreign countries. -An interesting relationship. When couples have too much in common, longtime marrieds sometimes complain of staleness and boredom. Spouses from different backgrounds view the world in a different way. Seeing things through his or her eyes gives you a fresh, new perspective. -Beautiful offspring. This is not a scientific theory, but widening the gene pool seems to result in aesthetically attractive children (and yes, I know beauty is subjective!) -Bilingual children. A full-immersion lesson for the spouse also benefits the children. Interracial couples are most likely to raise bi- or multilingual children who gains from this exposure to wider cultural awareness and new languages. These gains often reflect in their academic achievement in school as well as their social skills. When people enter into mixed marriages, they expect to make some adjustments. But as the thrill of the initial romance dims, can they continue to make concessions? If one spouse insists living only one cultures practices to the exclusion of the other, problems are more likely to arise. And it doesnt have to be ones own. A Korean-born wife I know struggles with the fact that her husband insists on their maintaining a Korean home. He loves her culture so much that he wants their children to hear only Korean and eat only Korean foods. Ju, on the other hand, is anxious to assimilate into the American culture. She tries to learn English from her American girlfriends to the dismay of her spouse. She worries about how her children are being handicapped with English language deficits before they enter public school in the US. Successful mixed marriages celebrate both cultures. We never thought of it as giving up our own culture but opening up to include another, said Laura, a Malaysian friend of mine who married an American. It isnt a matter of either-or but both! My own husband thought it odd to see the Thanksgiving table laden with the roasted turkey complete with trimmings, alongside the sushi and raw fish. Mashed potatoes or rice? Both! And now, he just laughs and digs in.

PRE-MATCH BRIEFING: CHELSEA v ATLETICO MADRID
Chelsea eyes, used to turning towards Monte Carlo at this time of the year for the Champions League draw, have reason to keep gazing on. Club historian Rick Glanvill and club statistician Paul Dutton look at our second Super Cup against opposition from the Spanish capital in part one of their preview…
Created in 1972 by a Dutchman determined to show that his fellow countrymen Ajax were the continent's top dogs, the Super Cup remains something of an honorary title rather than empirical proof of superiority.
Never the less, you have to be in it to win it. By becoming the first London club to win the Champions League, this Chelsea side are also the first from the capital to contest the trophy since their forebears, Wise, Desailly, Zola and co. in 1998.
Roberto Di Matteo, who tonight plots to make Chelsea the eighth club to have won the Super Cup more than once, played in midfield during the Blues' 1-0 victory over Real Madrid 14 years ago. No other London side has won this trophy.
It is fitting that the winners of the first Super Cup of the long Stade Louis II residency should also participate in the last, after which the match becomes a moveable feast. In it will be played in Prague, followed by Cardiff in 2014 and Tbilisi in 2015.
A UEFA event since its second year, 1973, and known as the European Super Cup until 1992, the early competition led something of a wild-child existence. The fact the 1973 contest was played in 1974 speaks volumes.
Until 1998, when Monaco became home (pictured below), it was of no fixed abode or date, beginning as a two-legged affair scheduled at the convenience of the contestants: the winners of the previous season's European Cup and Cup-Winners' Cup (later the winners of the UEFA Cup, and now Europa League).
However, it was reduced to a single match in a neutral ground on several occasions and in 1974, when the qualifiers were our vanquished opponents Bayern Munich and Magdeburg - on either side of a divided Germany - politics meant the event did not take place at all. (The first of three blank seasons over the years.)
The experience of England representatives is telling. Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest played Barcelona home and away over two weeks in January 1980; Aston Villa did exactly the same three years later. Other times it was squeezed around the domestic calendar in September or December.
Although Clough's announcement back in 1980 that he would be treating the games 'as seriously as any other European tie', only 23,000 attended the City Ground leg, with 80,000 at Camp Nou. (Like Chelsea last season, a draw was enough for Forest to beat the Catalans at home on aggregate.)
Just 22,000 turned up on a chilly Tuesday in November 1991 to see Man United beat Red Star Belgrade at Old Trafford - 7,000 down on their average gate at the time, and their worst home crowd of the season.
If the European public appear to take the 'exhibition match' more seriously than their English counterpart, the same might be levelled at clubs. Only Liverpool, with three, are multiple winners so far.
English teams have contested the Super Cup on 13 occasions winning seven and losing six. Spanish teams have played in 16 finals winning nine and losing seven. AC Milan (five) and Barcelona (four) have won the Super Cup the most times.
Impressive young Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, signed from Genk in July last year and loaned to tonight's opponents, is in line to play against his parent club. Unlike the Premier League, Uefa allows loan players to play. Last season he kept 23 clean sheets in 52 games in all competitions, including the final, a 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.
If necessary 30 minutes extra time will be played and then penalties if scores are still level.
Chelsea have won three of our last five penalty shoot-outs, the last being at the Allianz Arena for the Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
Atlético have lost all three previous shoot-outs in European competition.

Head of the Blend - 2000 etoile Tête de Cuvée
A bottle of etoile Tête de Cuvée may disappear in an evening over dinner, but it takes years of patience, skill and passion to bring the wine to its fullest expression. Sparkling Winemaker Tom Tiburzi shares his thoughts on the history of this delicate and nuanced wine.
Tom Tiburzi - Domaine Chandon Winemaker
Like a proud father, Domaine Chandon Sparkling Winemaker Tom Tiburzi is always thinking about those under his care. While it's Tom's job to ensure his wines reach their fullest potential, unlike most parents, he freely admits to having a favorite—the 2000 etoile Tête de Cuvée, which "represents the best of the best," Tom explains. "In French, 'tête' means 'head,' and 'cuvée' means 'blend,' so the literal translation is 'head of the blend.'" This inaugural release received 91 points in the March 2010
Wine Spectator.
Tête de cuvées have a proud history in the Champagne region of France—the home of our illustrious parent company Moёt et Chandon—where the tradition is to make vintage wines during only the best growing years, since cooler and wetter climates don't always produce sufficient grapes. "When you produce a vintage sparkling wine, the aim is to showcase what happened that year, as a documentation of what the year was like," explains Tom.
A marvel of patience and craftsmanship, etoile Tête de Cuvée takes nearly a decade from vine-to-release. The 2000 vintage represents a monumental accomplishment, taking its rightful place as the brightest star in the Domaine Chandon portfolio—and here's why, in the winemaker's own words:
Patience is a virtue.
We choose specific style wine lots in order to craft the etoile Tête de Cuvée with an ability to age a long time sur lees to develop complexity and mouth feel. The rate of sur less development peaks around year three, and continues for as long as six years. "After that, it just continues to marry and integrate with harmonizing complexity coming from slow oxidatitive progression. Seven years is ample time to expect what the yeast has to offer to round out the pallet of this elegant sparkling wine. The aim is to get a rich, complex wine.".
Conducting the symphony.
Much of the artistry Tom employs when creating etoile Tête de Cuvée has to do with understanding how the acidic, intense taste of the grapes will evolve, as well as how each unique flavor will interact with others over many years.
"When we make wine for harvest, we pick the grapes for sparkling wine at lower sugar and higher acid levels. Base wines that are selected to go into a sparkling wine are austere, lean and not ready to drink. If, for a wine that's going to age, you bring in base wine that's full and rich already, after seven years of aging it will be too fat and mouth-coating," says Tom. "Instead, we take these lots of base wine that are very direct and tight on the palate—they truly need all that time to finish and round out.
Eventually, you have to drink it.
As much as Tom enjoys discussing the winemaking behind etoile T√™te de Cuv√©e, he really lights up when asked about his favorite way to enjoy the fruit of his efforts. 'ÄúExtended time with the yeast creates flavors of toffee, caramel and toasted hazelnuts, and the chardonnay and pinot noir ¬Ýin the blend have subtle'Äînot vibrant'Äîfruit flavors that are rich and ripe, like baked apple and stewed cherry. 'ÄúAll these flavors mingle and then disappear into layers evolving around your palate. Very often, you get spicy notes like cardamom. It's really complex, and pairs beautifully with foie gras, roasted game, and butter poached lobster'Äîspecial dishes you don't necessarily eat every day.
In short, the 2000 etoile Tête de Cuvée is nothing less than the finest, most exquisitely nuanced wine Chandon has ever produced, and—while each growing season presents its own unique challenges and rewards—Tom and his team have spent the last ten years building upon vintage their remarkable achievement. So enjoy the current release at your next special occasion, and look for future releases of the Tête de Cuvée to carry forward the extraordinarily high standards of this proud new tradition at Domaine Chandon.

Really glad I'm using version control now
I only wish I had discovered the wonders of VCS earlier... I just started a new project, hosted on Google Code, using Git for the source code repository. This makes my life MUCH easier. Reverting back to a older version is far easier to do now, should I ever need to do that. Also, I can easily see how my code has changed over time. I've only made 2 commits so far, one initial and one to fix a bug. I'm already liking Git, now that I have figured out how to use it.

I enjoy the snapshot feature built into Xcode. I don't use it often enough, though.
Does Xcode have the same Mountain Lion version tracking features that apps like TextEdit and Pages have? |

Oddly enough, this is a Java project in Eclipse. So I couldn't tell you, as I have not messed with Xcode enough to know.

Two pieces of advice . . .
Source control is great and can radically improve your productivity. It can also change your programming style to be more experimental and fearless. Two pieces of advice:
1. Practice reverting your code to earlier versions - make a small change (say to a comment), commit it, then roll back to the pre-change version. Do this a few times; 2. Once you're familiar with git, use an app that gives you a visual indication of your commit structure. Try SourceTree or Tower. Both will go into your git repository and show you a tree of what you committed and each commit's relationship to its parent and child commits.

I would love to learn to use GIT. Right now when I finish a project I will copy it and zip the original project in case I need to revisit it. I have wanted to learn / use it as I improve my projects. Are there any good tutorials for getting started using it, and how to use it out there that you guys recommend?
I know more than yesterday. Lars |

Had to chime in here. Yes!!! Source control is a huge life saver.
I use SourceTree (GIT) for every programming need. I keep sourcetree open in a separate desktop, write code, test, swipe to sourcetree, commit with short change log, back to coding. Easy peasy.

Madeline Hunter Lesson Plan Format
National Park Service Mission Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Curecanti National Recreation Area Outreach Education is committed to: Creating an awareness and fostering an appreciation for the mission of the National Park Service and the natural, cultural, and historic resources of Curecanti National Recreation Area and Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. EDUCATION LESSON PLAN The following K-12 outreach education units have been revised and formalized using Madeline Hunter's "Instructional Theory into Practice" lesson plan format (Hunter, 1981). The rationale for this project was to develop comprehensive units that can be easily presented by education specialists of the National Park Service, professional educators, and environmental education specialists. While this format offers a script for each unit, the script is not intended to be used verbatim. The script should be used as a guide in conjunction with an individual presentation style. All units are preceded by an introduction from a National Park Service Education Specialist, addressing the mission of the National Park Service. Each unit culminates in an invitation to visit Curecanti National Recreation Area and Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The following lesson plan is a guide to the Madeline Hunter lesson plan format. In adopting the Madeline Hunter lesson format for outreach education, the "NPS focus," "Environmental concepts," "Environmental learning hierarchy," "References Cited," and "Related WWW Sites" were necessary additions. Title: Grade level: Time length: Subject areas: The majority of units address science, mathematics, geography, and social science. Many units offer interdisciplinary opportunities. Teacher: In most cases this is a National Park Service Education Specialist. Colorado Content Standards: Theme: NPS focus: Public Law 39-535 (Organic Act). Environmental concepts: The environmental concepts used in the units are based on six ecological principles that teach awareness of ecosystems through the conceptual approach (Ford, 1981). Units may contain one or more of the following ecological principles: 1. The sun is the source of all energy (energy flow). Environmental learning hierarchy: The environmental learning hierarchy is based on the following teaching progression: Art forms, analogies, sensory awareness, ecological principles, problem-solving, decision-making, and ekistics, a philosophy for survival. The first three levels of the progression are for developing familiarity, stimulating interest, and building initial confidence in knowledge and skills related to an outdoor setting. The next four levels move from an acquisition of basic facts to utilization of the facts through problem-solving and decision making, to a way of life based on an ecological, holistic view of the world (Ford, 1981). Materials: Unless otherwise noted, the list of materials is based on a class size of 25 students. I. INSTRUCTIONAL OUTCOMES II. ANTICIPATORY SET III. TEACHING PROCEDURE/METHODOLOGY IV.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance delivers another pulse-pounding tale of suspense where no one is safe from a . . .FATAL ERROR.
Ali Reynolds begins the summer thinking her most difficult challenge will be surviving a six-week- long course as the lone forty-something female at the Arizona Police Academy—not to mention taking over the 6:00 AM shift at her family's restaurant while her parents enjoy a long overdue Caribbean cruise. However, when Brenda Riley, a colleague from Ali's old news broadcasting days in California, shows up in town with an alcohol problem and an unlikely story about a missing fiancé, Ali reluctantly agrees to help. The man posing as Brenda's fiancé is revealed to be Richard Lowensdale, a cyber-sociopath who has left a trail of broken hearts in his virtual wake. When he is viciously murdered, the women he once victimized are considered suspects. The police soon focus their investigation on Brenda, who is already known to have broken into Richard's home and computer before vanishing without a trace. Attempting to clear her friend's name, Ali is quickly drawn into a web of online intrigue that may lead to a real-world fatal error. Synopsis:Now in mass market from New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance—an author known for delivering "a devilish page-turner"( People )— Fatal Error sends Ali Reynolds into the heart of a deadly mystery.

Bladder Cancer Causes
Patient Comments
We do not know exactly what causes bladder cancer; however, a number of carcinogens have been identified that are potential causes, especially in cigarette smoke. Research is focusing on conditions that alter the genetic structure of cells, causing abnormal cell reproduction. We do know that the following factors increase a person's risk of developing a bladder cancer:
These are factors you can do something about. You can stop smoking, learn to avoid workplace chemical exposures, or change your diet. You cannot do anything about the following risk factors for bladder cancer:

Review What You Already Have
I know. It seems basic. But I can't stress enough how many brick walls are breached with information that the researcher already had tucked away in files, boxes or computer disks. Information that you found a few years ago may include names, dates or other details that now provide clues given new facts that you've since uncovered. Organizing your files and reviewing your facts may uncover just the clue you're looking for.
Go Back to the Original Source
Many of us are guilty when transcribing information or recording notes of only including the facts we deem important at the time. You may have kept the names and dates from that old census record, but did you also keep track of other information such as years of marriage and country of parent's origin? Or, perhaps, you misread a name or misinterpreted a relationship? If you haven't already, be sure to go back to the original records, making complete copies and transcriptions and recording all clues - however unimportant they may seem right now.
Broaden Your Search
When you're stuck on a particular ancestor, a good strategy is to extend your search to family members and neighbors. When you can't find a birth record for your ancestor that lists his/her parents, maybe you can locate one for a sibling. Or, when you've lost a family between census years, try looking for their neighbors. You may be able to identify a migration pattern, or a mis-indexed census entry that way. Often referred to as "cluster genealogy," this research process can often get you past tough brick walls.
Question and Verify
Many brick walls are built from incorrect data. In other words, your sources may be leading you in the wrong direction through their inaccuracy. Published sources often contain transcription errors, while even original documents may contain misinformation, whether purposefully or accidentally given. Try to find at least three records to verify any facts that you already know and judge the quality of your data based on the weight of the evidence.
Check Name Variations
Your brick wall may just be something as simple as looking for the wrong name. Variations of last names can make research complicated, but be sure to check all spelling options. Soundex is a first step, but you can't count on it entirely - some name variations can actually result in different soundex codes. Not only can the surnames be different, but the given name may be different as well. I've found records recorded under initials, middle names, nicknames, etc. Get creative with name spellings and variations and cover all the possibilities.
Learn Your Boundaries
Even though you know that your ancestor lived on the same farm, you may still be looking in the wrong jurisdiction for your ancestor. Town, county, state and even country boundaries have changed over time as populations grew or political authority changed hands. Records were also not always registered in the locality where your ancestors lived. In Pennsylvania, for example, births and deaths can be registered in any county, and many of my Cambria county ancestor's records were actually located in neighboring Clearfield county because they lived closer to that county seat and found it a more convenient trip. So, bone up on your historical geography and you just may find a new route around your brick wall.
Ask for Help
Fresh eyes can often see beyond brick walls, so try bouncing your theories off other researchers. Post a query to a Web site or mailing list which focuses on the locality in which the family lived, check with members of the local historical or genealogical society, or just talk through it with someone else who loves family history research. Be sure to include what you already know, as well as what you'd like to know and which tactics you've already tried.

My husband and I were shopping in Dallas and saw this product in a home decorating store and loved it. Decided not to purchase and regretted it after we returned home. I did a web search and found the same product from Candelabras for a much better price!
I will definitely purchase other products from Cadelabras in the future.

HDCP Playback Error
I'm trying to set up a Panasonic BTT590 Home Cinema system with my Apple TV. However, when I connect my ATV to the HDMI input on the Panasonic Bluray player (to get surround sound) and then the BluRay to the TV I get this error;
"This content requires HDCP for playback" Any suggestions? I cant connect with an optical cable as there is only 1 input on the blu ray player and I am using it with my Sky+HD box. Does anyone know if its a settings issue? Thanks. Last edited by williamparky; Jan 4, 2013 at 10:04 AM. |

1. Make sure the BTT590 is updated with the latest firmware.
2. Does the problem occur with both the input HDMI ports on the BTT590? 3. Check both the HDMI cables, the one from the ATV to the BTT590 and the one from the BT590 to the TV by using each one in turn to connect the ATV direct to the TV. Failing all that, can't you connect the ATV using optical and pass the audio for the Sky box over HDMI? |

MLB Rumors: Breaking Down All of the Whispers Involving the Toronto Blue Jays
By George Halim ,
The Toronto Blue Jays aren't a sleeper team anymore. Over the past few seasons, other teams have spent nickel and dime trying to bolster what every general manager is hoping for—a World Series championship.
In Toronto, the legend of Alex Anthopoulos continues to grow, but the patience of the fans is growing thin. According to Baseball Prospectus, the Blue Jays have the second-best farm system in baseball, and if you ask many analysts, they'll argue that they do indeed have the best. With so much depth in the field and on the bump, the bluebirds have a lot to give, and other GM's know it. In this article, we'll look at the trade buzz happening in Toronto, and what might be in the mix before the trade deadline.
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, indicated that Billy Beane, Oakland's general manager, is interested in pursuing a player who can fill the offensive void at shortstop. The streaking A's have been on a tear lately, with a league best 14-2 record in July, and upgrading on Cliff Pennington in the middle-infield could very well be in the mix.
For Toronto, Escobar's woes this season might just be enough to push the Blue Jays into making a deal. That being said, the last time Yunel Escobar had a mired season, the Braves shipped him off to Toronto for pennies, only to have him bat a respectable .290/.369/.413.
Although there are better defensive shortstops out there, let's not forget that Yunel still ranks among the best, yearly. Now it's a matter of which team believes that history will repeat itself.
Through all the ups and downs (literally) of the 24-year old Snider, he's shown everyone that he can play. Despite his lack of production in the past year or so, he's not going anywhere.
According to Sportsnet's Shi Davidi, the 10-player deal that was conducted between the Jays and Astros was a pivotal moment in Snider's career. This is a chance for him to prove he belongs, and since being called up on July 20th, he's proven his critics wrong, batting .364/.385/.727 through three games.
Yes, it's still early, but for the Jays, it's time to commit. This will be the turning point for Travis in his career, according to recent reports; when Jose (Bautista) comes back, it'll be Snider or the speedy Anthony Gose who stays in the show.
Hechavarria is in a pickle that every minor league shortstop dreams of: he's needed and wanted. He's at the top of his game, batting an impressive .305/.355/.426 to go along with his team leading 60 RBI's for Triple-A Las Vegas.
According to MLB Trade Rumors, the Diamondbacks have shown obvious interest in the slick-fielding shortstop, but if he goes over, it'll be in a package deal. That being said, the Jays have expressed that Hechavarria has proven his ability to play at the major league level, but we won't know that until we see it.
J.P. is a very talented catcher, but with top prospect Travis d'Arnaud nipping as his heels, the Jays might be in a position to make a difficult decision. Arencibia has yet to live up to his triple-A numbers that awarded him the 2010 Pacific Coast League MVP, but the coaching staff is impressed with his ability to call a game.
In a March report, FOX Sports baseball analyst Ken Rosenthal stated that the Diamondbacks would be in touch with the Blue Jays, should Arencibia become available. With two catchers on hand who are starting backstops of the future, it's unlikely a trade will happen this season, but Alex Anthopoulos has proven to be a silent worker in the past.
Alex Anthopoulos has a history of picking up players with a less-than-stellar-reputation in the bigs. Such was the case with current shortstop Yunel Escobar in Atlanta and star center fielder Colby Rasmus.
Justin Upton falls into that group of players. Recently, Ken Rosenthal revealed the Jays might be interested in the not-so-fan-favorite Upton. So far this season, he is batting .274/.358/.411, with his home run total dropping drastically from 31 last year, to eight this year.
If the Jays pursue Upton, they are deep enough to make a blockbuster trade for the outfielder who could be the final piece of a sensational Blue Jays outfield.

News ReleaseAll CSU Long Beach accepts Cerro Coso students into new engineering programs to begin this fall in the Antelope ValleyAugust 5, 2011Five students from Cerro Coso Community College have been accepted into California State University, Long Beach's two new engineering degree completion programs in the Antelope Valley. Ken Santarelli, the Director of the Antelope Valley Engineering Program for CSULB, said that the students will begin classes on August 29th. "With the introduction of this new four-year degree program with Cal State University, Long Beach, Cerro Coso students interested in a career in electrical or mechanical engineering will now have a local pathway to a Bachelor of Science Degree," said Cerro Coso President Jill Board. She continued, "A degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering can open the door to many exciting career choices for our students." The CSULB programs are designed for transfer students who have completed lower-division classes and wish to complete their Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering. Students will attend classes at a local community college for their first two years, and then can apply for the CSULB program to complete their coursework. Additional new cohorts will start each Fall. Santarelli says CSULB is making every effort to tailor the program to commuter students, with the upcoming Fall cohorts meeting only two or three days a week. The programs offer the same curriculum taught at CSULB, and students will be admitted and matriculated as CSULB students. Classes will be taught by a combination of Long Beach-based CSULB full-time faculty members and part-time instructors from the Antelope Valley area. The programs ensure that students have access to the same services as on-campus CSULB students, including on-site registration, financial aid, academic advisors, library access, and more. Students can plan on receiving their Bachelor of Science Degree in either Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering within two-and-a-half years, including a summer term. The Antelope Valley area offers students unique access to the engineering industry, including highly valued companies and agencies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Southern California Edison, Edwards Air Force Base, China Lake Naval Weapons Center, NASA, and other area employers that will provide opportunities for internships. The programs' location allows students to experience engineering projects in a real-world setting. "Cerro Coso Community College is committed to offering the classes students will need for this new opportunity," said Shannon Bliss, Faculty Chair of Science and Engineering at Cerro Coso. In addition to offering a newly streamlined Engineering Associated Degree, Cerro Coso's upcoming classes can prepare students who are interested in joining future cohorts with CSULB. Calculus I sections for Fall are being taught at the Ridgecrest campus and online; Introduction to Engineering will be offered in the Spring; and Digital Logic and Design, offered this Fall, is slated to be required for upcoming cohorts. For more information about the degree completion programs and information on applying for the next cohort, visit www.ccpe.csulb.edu/engineering. Fall 2011 classes at Cerro Coso Community College begin August 22, 2011. Register early for best class selection.

- Polling Week: The most up-to-date RealClearAverage of polls gives Romney a slight edge (2.6%). The most recent Rasmussen Poll, conducted during the three days since the debate, shows a national 48-48 tie, with 2% undecided. This differs from Gallup's most recent poll, which was conducted over a week-long period, and shows Romney ahead 52-45. Could the Rasmussen poll be an early sign of the effect of the debate? Another Rasmussen poll reports that Romney has "hit the 50% mark in Virginia." Despite gains in other battleground states, the national polls could be a misleading indicator of outcome, given that Romney has gained significant ground in states he is unlikely to win, like California. Additionally, the validity of the polls continue to be questioned--statistician Nate Silver, for example, pointed out that when Gallup is the outlier, it has often performed poorly. Silver's FiveThirtyEight forecast, which aggregates national polls, still gives Obama a slight edge in the Electoral College and a 71.6% chance to win the election. In a memo, the Obama campaign also challenged Gallup's poll indicating a tie between the candidates among women voters in battleground states.
- Labor statistics in battleground states released today reveal mixed trends of continuity and change.

Of these battleground states, only four had an unemployment rate below the national average of 7.8% (Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia); while five came in above the national average (Colorado, Florida, Nevada and North Carolina). Nevada has the highest unemployment rate of all 50 states. However, all of the swing states except Virginia saw a drop in unemployment, which has the possibility of contributing to more positive evaluations of the direction of the economy. As we've argued previously, it's important to pay close attention to economic indicators, as well as to job approval and favorability ratings in these key states leading up to the election. While state-by-state information is not yet available, Real Clear Politics average shows Obama's national approval rating is up, at 49.4%. On favorability, recent polls show Romney has gained quite a bit of ground. According to a Gallup Poll this week, voters are equally favorable to both candidates. A Pew Research Center poll from last week shows Romney is ahead of Obama by a point, 50 percent to 49 percent (for comparison, a March 2012 Pew poll found Obama had a 55% favorability rating compared to 29% for Romney).
- Mitt Romney and the RNC raised $171 million in September, with $191 million "cash-on-hand." The campaign's fundraising efforts fell short of the Obama campaign's $181 million (information released last week). $43 million of the campaign's donations fell in the $250 or less category (or about 25% of all donations), well under the Obama and DNC proportion of 98%. The campaign fundraising totals for the candidates and their parties stand at: Obama--$833 million, Romney--$707 million.
- A preview of the final presidential debate? The latest ads reiterate the campaigns' talking points regarding the United States' relationship with China. In two ads, Romney charged President Obama with failing to stop American manufacturing jobs from going to China, while labeling China a "cheater." The Obama campaign countered, citing Mitt Romney's time at Bain Capital, during which it invested in Globaltech--a company whose labor practices in China have met serious ethical questions. Predictably, the ads are running in battleground states (Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia--with the notable exception of North Carolina).
- Party Bosses? Former third-party candidate and Texas businessman Ross Perot endorsed Mitt Romney this week in an editorial for the Des Moines Register, writing, "the United States is on an unsustainable course." Meanwhile, the Obama campaign received campaign support this week from Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen, who played an acoustic set at a rally in Cleveland, Ohio. The concert included his specially composed theme-song, "Forward and Away We Go."
President Obama and Governor Romney traded one-liners (in good humor) at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner on Thursday. The candidates took the opportunity to poke fun at themselves and their opponents:
- Romney [wearing a tuxedo and bow-tie]: "A campaign can require a lot of wardrobe changes...but it's nice to finally relax and to wear what Ann and I wear around the house."
- Obama: "I had a lot more energy in our second debate...I felt really well rested after the nice long nap I had in the first debate."
- Romney: "I was actually hoping the President would bring Joe Biden along...because he'll laugh at anything."
- Obama: "Everyone please take your seats, otherwise Clint Eastwood will yell at them."
- In the five-day period from Thursday to Monday, there will be seven appearances by the candidates (mostly the VPs).
- As Carah Ong noted, the subject of the Benghazi attack was the most heated moment of Tuesday's debate. Commentators continue to debate which of the candidates has "politicized" the topic, but the continued emphasis on national security seems to have affected the Obama campaign, who re-added "al Qaeda is on the path to defeat" to the President's stump speech.
- 45% of early-voting ballot requests in Iowa have come from registered Democrats--compared to 30% Republicans. Though, officials caution using the proportion as an indicator of actual votes. Additionally, the requests may be part of a general trend of increased early-voting in the state of Iowa (40% are expected to vote early this year).
- Kenneth Vogel of Politico suggested today that large campaign donations may be reaching a tipping point. Large "investors" in SuperPACs supporting the GOP have donated in record-numbers, and face the real possibility of no return (a Romney loss with no GOP gains in the Senate).
Carah Ong contributed to this round-up.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - With nearly 30 years in the U.S. Senate, few members of Congress have more political firepower than West Virginia's Sen. Jay Rockefeller.
But Rockefeller, a Democrat, might have his opposition outgunned in other ways, too.
Sometime in the 1970s, one of the senator's cousins gave him a Colt AR-15 assault rifle.
As the Daily Mail reported in August 1994, Rockefeller kept the shooting iron at his Pocahontas County estate for several years, along with other guns.
The senator told Daily Mail Washington correspondent Jack Deutsch he no longer used the gun but called it a "terrific weapon."
Rockefeller removed his guns from the Pocahontas County home around 1990 because his farm's caretaker had children. He didn't want to store his AR-15 at his Washington home, either, because his son Justin was so young.
The city's gun ban also made it illegal for Rockefeller to keep the gun in his D.C. mansion.
To avoid violating the ban, Rockefeller gave his AR-15 to one of his security guards, a retired Washington police officer, for safekeeping in the man's northern Virginia home.
The rifle moved back to West Virginia at some point in the last 19 years. Rockefeller spokesman Andrew Beckner said it is back at the Pocahontas County farm, locked in storage. He said he did not know when Rockefeller fired it last, nor did he have any more information about the gun.
Back in 1994, Rockefeller said he was "a pretty good shot," but declined to say how he came by his marksmanship skills.
"No lives were lost," Rockefeller said at the time.
Those familiar with the history of gun laws will remember 1994 also was the year Congress passed a decade-long assault weapons ban.
