I'm reading "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" and there's some absolute gold in the book. The author's attitude to what he's doing is broadly applicable to anyone in any probability-based endeavor that will sometimes fail and requires self-control to not go on tilt during -
It didn't take me long to realise that there was something wrong with my play, but I couldn't spot the exact trouble. There were times when my system worked beautifully, and then, all of a sudden, nothing but one swat after another. I was only twenty-two, remember; not that I was so stuck on myself that I didn't want to know just where I was at fault, but that at that age nobody knows much of anything.
The people in the office were very nice to me. I couldn't plunge as much as I wanted to because of the margin requirements, but old A.R. Fullerton and the rest of the firm were so kind to me that after six months of active trading I not only lost all I had brought and all that I had made there but I even owed the firm a few hundreds.
There I was, a mere kid, who had never before been away from home, flat broke; but I knew there wasn't anything wrong with me; only with my play. I don't know whether I make myself plain, but I never lose my temper over the stock market. I never argue with the tape. Getting sore at the market doesn't get you anywhere.
There's four points in that except that I really like -
1. "It didn't take me long to realise that there was something wrong with my play, but I couldn't spot the exact trouble." He's comfortable with uncertainty and knowing that he's ignorant, and yet, he's not sure why.
2. He calls it "play" - which wraps everything in the appropriate perspective and gravity.
3. "I knew there wasn't anything wrong with me; only with my play." He doesn't take it personally or let it affect his identity when he loses. The problem isn't him, it's his actions.
4. "I never argue with the tape. Getting sore at the market doesn't get you anywhere." He doesn't get emotional - he just adjusts and keeps moving forwards.
Hell of a read, too. Compelling narrative.
Reminiscences is highly recommended.
Got a long email from a reader with some great questions - he's a very impressive dude, but he has a hard time sticking with something for more than 1.5 to 3 years. If you have this trait as well, you might want to pay close attention to this post
And I have a real problem "falling in line" with the rest of society in a stable, consistent and "normal" life. I just feel like it's not me.
Yup, I know exactly how you feel. I've been in similar places. So have a lot of my friends. Some thoughts -
What I see as a recurring theme in my jump from job to job and industry to industry is my utter lack of real fulfillment. Don't get me wrong, I do have a temporary sense of fulfillment and meaning with the careers I have pursued, they just don't seem to last. Once I have focus on what it is that I want to do I am relentless in achieving it. For instance, after 3 years in the --- industry I have acquired the knowledge that many people don't achieve until 10, 12 or even 15 years in the industry. However, that life-cycle tends to be around 18-months, where I then become unfulfilled by the rate of learning and progress I am making. This ultimately leads to erratic behavior within the succeeding months and a feeling that I need to drop what I'm doing and move onto something else - whether that be a new job or a new career altogether.
Google the term "rage to master" - click around, read some summaries, and then check out a couple academic papers. It will be very worth your time.
I already know that this post is going to get a lot of negative comments like the religion one. And that's because this "every vote counts" dogma that everyone loves so much shares a lot with religion. It's a belief that's held true without a single bit of compelling evidence, and it's a strong belief.
But before I get into that, let's talk about some other things.
First, Obama won and I'm happy about that. I don't think that he's a superhero like a lot of people do. When I look at his positions I disagree with most of them. I disagree with most of McCain's positions as well.

1943- A. J. LAMBERT ILLUMINATED MAIL BOX AND HO USE NUMBER Filed Dec. 23, 1946 M m m m AQTHUE J. LAMB Em". BY Z Patented Nov. 2, 1948 UNl'l'ED amps? STATES PATENT GFFICE ILLUMINATED ivraitsox AND HOUSE NUMBER 2 Claims.
This invention herein disclosed relates to an illuminated house fixture externally applied, and has for its principal object a fixture that is pro vided with means to easily and readily receive house numbers inserted therein for the identification of houses, and another means associated with first said means to contain mail, said fixture being externally applied adjacent outside doors, porches, garages, or any suitable place where numbering of a house, store, or the like, is desired.
Another object of this invention is to provide a casing having two compartments, one above the other, the upper compartment having a front wall which is open, and in which house numbers are distinctively carried, while the lower compartment is provided with a transparent window for observing the presence of mail.
A still further object is to employ opaque house numbers so that when carried in the opening of the fixture, said numbers will be clearly discernible during the day as well as night.
A still further object is to provide a light bulb for the fixture that is of a very low voltage type, and which may be continuously energized day and night and still retain the cost of operation at a minimum, and furthermore to position the light bulb in said upper compartment downwardly from the house numbers whereby diffusion or intermingling appearance of said numbers is eliminated, however if such light were directly in back of said numbers, the same would produce a bright spot to an observer and thus reducing its efficiency for displaying clear-cut numbers.
A still further object is to construct a casing, wherein the lower compartment for mail is forwardly positioned or offset with respect to cross section from the upper compartment, whereby an opening is provided between said lower compartment and structure to which the fixture is supported for the insertion of magazines, news- Fig. 4 is a front view of one of the house numbers, illustrating the entire structure thereof made from opaque material.
Fig. 5 is a modification of a house number having its projecting ends thereof transparent.
The purpose of this invention is to identify a house, store, or the like, through the arrangement of clear-cut numbers, and associate therewith a means for retaining mail, whereby the inconvenience of a postman in locating a selected house number during the delivery of mail is eliminated, and more particularly in obscure places and during partially darkened days or at night when little or no outside light is present. In my invention, the fixture is illuminated day and night and thus producing the numbers in a silhouette appearance at all times, while other wise should the light be turned out during a bright day there is a possibility that the occupant of such house may not remember to turn-on said light when darkness approaches.
The invention consists of a casing preferably made from aluminum material so that the same is light in weight, and furthermore made from aluminum a smaller light bulb is required to illuminate the interior of the casing sufficiently due to the intensifying power of aluminum.
The casing has an upper and a lower compartment, the upper compartment being for supportpapers, or such articles which are too bulky to be inserted through the mail compartment receiving slot.
These and other objects will hereinafter be more'fully explained, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which like characters will apply to like parts in the different Views.
Referring to the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a front view of the invention, parts removed for convenience of illustration.
Fig. 2 is an end view of Fig. 1.
Fig.3. is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 in Fig. 1.
ing house numbers I, while the lower compartment is for mail delivered by a postman. It will be seen in Fig. 3 that the number supporting compartment is substantially rectangular in cross section and comprises a bottom wall 2, a rear wall 3, a top wall 4, end walls 5, and a front wall 6. The top wall 4 is inclined downwardly from the rear wall to provide for drainage of rain water, while the front wall 6 has an opening the major area thereof and forming a rectangular elongated frame for supporting the said house numbersyi. The confronting side edges l of the frame have channels 8 formed therein a spaced distance to slidably receive projections A that are secured to the upper and lower extremities of the house numbers. Said numbers are formed from comparatively thin material, but having suflicient width to produce clear-cut outlines when observed from a substantial distance.
The numbers and their projections as shown in Figs. 1 and 4 may be made from aluminum sheet material, which is opaque, and the numbers themselves exclusive of the projections may be painted black whereby the numbers will be distinctively displayed in the day time. The numbers, if so desired, may be constructed from plastic material as shown in Fig. 5, in which case,
a the number portion 9 is made opaque while the projections it are transparent. In the latter arrangement, the numbers will be clearly defined at the upper and lower extremities thereof by reason of the opaque and transparent portions, especially during the night when the transparent projecting ends are illuminated. It will be noted that the projecting ends of the numbers may also be formed by diverging its Side edges of the projections from the number portion to increase the carrying capacity of the projections when positioned in the channels of the frame.
To insert the numbers in the channels, the projections are placed in their respective notches II that are formed by removing a portion of the front leg of the channels as shown in Fig. 1. The notches are placed intermedially of the side edges of the frame, and when enstalling the numbers, the same are moved from the notches each way and equally spaced in the opening of the frame.
To intensify the numbers during obscured days, or at night, there is provided a light bulb 82 carried by a socket it, which is positioned in the bottom wall of the upper compartment and insulated therefrom by a rubber grommet it as shown in Fig. 3. It will be understood that the light bulb is of a very low voltage type, and being preferably supplied from the house current which is reduced to said bulb by any suitable transformer means not shown in the drawing. By the use of a bulb as above described, the same can be left energized day and night as the cost of operation is comparatively small.
The li ht bulb i2 as shown in Fig. 3 is positioned rearwardly of the lower member of the frame and is not noticed by observers as said bulb is positioned downwardly from the numbers with respect to a horizontal plane, but being capable of brightening up the interior of the compartment and presenting the numbers in a silhouette appearance, and as the numbers are supported in the open, the distinctiveness thereof is not diflused by any means.
The mail compartment is downwardly and forwardly positioned from said number carrying compartment. Said mail compartment comprises a rear wall iii, a slidable bottom it, an inclined top wall ll, end walls 58, and a front wall it, which is open the major area thereof, said opening being closed by a transparent window 2% that is inserted by pressing the same inwardly to seat against a peripheral flange 2!. Said transparent window is provided as visual means into the mail compartment as to the presence of mail therein. The inclined top wall ll is provided with an elongated slot 22 through which letters, or the like, are inserted to enter the mail compartment. Positioned on the upper side of ie slot is a ledge 23 running the full length of said slot and extending a short distance therefrom at its ends as means to carry away rain water that may be deposited thereon from the upper compartment. Openings 2t and 25 are provided for the upper and lower compartments, respectively, for drainage of moisture from said compartments.
The bottom It of the mail compartment is slidably carried in grooves formed in the end walls of said compartment as shown in Fig. 1, and furthermore said bottom resting on inturned flanges 26 integrally formed on the end walls. Said bottom has a tongue 2? as manipulating means for the bottom, said bottom being stopped in its extreme inward and outward movements by pins 4 2S downwardly protruding from the bottom adjacent the ends thereof, said pins engaging against a bottom portion 29 of the compartment in the inward movement of the bottom, and against extensions 38 of said flanges 26 in an outward movement.
As shown in Fig. 3, the said compartments are integrally connected with each other but may be removably secured if so desired, said lower compartment having a rearward extension 3! to support the lower extremity of the mail compartment rigidly to a structure through the medium of screws 32 engaging through car 33 integrally formed on said extension, while the upper compartment is secured to the structure by screws 3 extending through the rear wall of said compartment. It will be seen that the lower compartment is offset forwardly from the upper compartment to provide an opening 35 between the rear wall of said lower compartment and structure to which the fixture is attached, said opening 35 being for receiving newspapers, magazines, or other articles too bulky to enter through the mail receiving slot of said lower compartment.
To provide for a small amount of illumination which may be necessary in said mail compartment, there is provided, a slot 35 communicating with both compartments, whereby indirect illumination will be produced in said mail compartment which is convenient when the occupant of the house is observing the compartment for while the letter receiving slot will be illuminated from end to end thereof to locate the slot during partially darkened days or at night and being for the convenience of the postman.
While I have shown the structure s, ecifically, I do not wish to be confined to such exact structure as the same may be varied with respect to contour, proportion, and thickness of material, as well as other modifications which may be made as lie within the scope of the appended claims.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In an illuminated house fixture of the class described comprising a casing composed of an upper compartment and a lower compartment, the upper compartment having an open front providing a rectangular frame, opaque numbers and means to support the same in the opening of said frame, a light producing element positioned in the upper compartment and being below said numbers for illumination of said upper compartment, there being a slot between said compart ments and communicating therewith for indirect illumination of said lower compartment, and a transparent window in the front of said lower compartment as visual means for the presence of mail in said compartment.
2. In an illuminated house fixture of the class described, a casing being subdivided into an upper compartment and a lower compartment, said lower compartment being positioned forwardly from said upper compartment to provide a space for retaining articles between said lower compartment and structure to which the fixture is attached, said lower compartment having a slot for the insertion of mail into said compartment, the upper compartment having an open front with opaque numbers carried therein, a light bulb positioned within the upper compartment to illuminate the interior of said compartment, said casing having means to permit indirect illumination into id lower compartment from the upper compartment, rneans formed on the UNITED STATES PATENTS lower extremlt-y of the casmg to secure the same to the said structure, screws extending through Number Name Date said means and screws extending through a wall 4$0,255 m er Aug. 9, 1892 of the upper compartment for attaching the fix- 5 1.5551444 Greenbelg June 1913 ture to said tructura Thompson et a1.

The home like atmosphere. The kindliness of the staff. Very accommodating and helpful in finding anything that we wanted to do.
nothing, would go back
bed was comfortable
room was not ready until 2 and a half hours AFTER checkin time Staff wanted to sell me a time share and made me sit through a 10 minute shpeil when I wanted to go to my room after being delayed over two hours because my room wasn't ready when I arrived after a long journey. Staff was more interested in selling amenities and time shares than my comfort and enjoyment. Place was way too big and there were families with small children running around mixed in with adult couples like we are. Parking lot is a long walk from the rooms in the building we were in. place was under construction but we were not informed until we arrived for a pre-paid room.
nice, quiet, well maintained, good locaton
Nice for the price. It was a great place for an one night stay.
Had a hard time finding my reservation when I arrived.
It was handy for a one night stay, we were visiting family in the area. We didn't expect much for the price we paid, but it was very clean, especially the bathroom which was nice. The room smelled clean and fresh when we went in.

We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

Mention vuvuzela to soccer fans, and they may cringe. The plastic horn rose to prominence during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where tens of thousands of those instruments blared in packed stadiums. The loud, buzzing noise soon became a major annoyance, disrupting players and even fans watching on TV.
Now, for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, organizers have introduced the maraca-like caxirola as the official instrument of the event. The caxirola, based on the African caxixi, was invented by Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown to be more subdued than the vuvuzela. To see if this was really the case, Talita Pozzer and Stephan Paul of the Federal University of Santa Maria in Brazil studied the acoustics of the instrument, finding that a single caxirola, at least, poses no threat to the user's ear.
Their work will be presented at the 166th meeting of the Acoustic Society of America, held Dec. 2-6, 2013, in San Francisco, Calif.
In their analysis, the researchers asked 22 volunteers who had never seen the instrument to play it as they thought it should be played, finding that people tend to either shake it along its longer axis or its shorter axis. A recording device placed at the ear of each subject measured the sound of the caxirola.
The researchers found that if shaken along the longer axis, the instrument produces twice the sound energy as when shaken along the shorter axis. But because volume depends logarithmically on the sound energy, the difference is only just noticeable to the ear. In both playing styles, the sound pressure levels were comparable to that of a normal conversation – and roughly 45 decibels lower than that of the vuvuzela, corresponding to 1/30,000th times the sound energy. In other words, you would need 30,000 caxirolas to produce the same sound pressure level as a single vuvuzela.
The researchers also captured the acoustic signature of the caxirola played in both styles, measuring how the frequency and intensity of the sound varies over time. The signature was similar in both cases.
The next step, Paul said, is to measure the caxirola's sound power levels, which, unlike sound pressure levels, are independent of distance and the instrument's surroundings. The researchers can then input those measurements into a computer model of soccer stadiums, simulating exactly what kind of noise thousands of caxirolas would make, showing whether or not it would be harmful.
Since its introduction last year, the caxirola has already been mired in controversy. After disgruntled fans hurled the instrument on the field during a match in April, officials banned the instrument for the Confederations Cup last summer. Whether the caxirola will be distributed during the 2014 World Cup has yet to be determined, Paul said.
Perhaps it's not the caxirola's acoustics that's a cause for concern – but its aerodynamics.
Presentation 4pMUa6, "A first look into the caxirola – official music instrument of the Soccer World Cup 2014," will take place on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2013, at 3:40 p.m. The abstract describing this work can be found here: http://asa2013.abstractcentral.com/planner.jsp.ABOUT THE MEETING

The IPH presents a solution at HANNOVER MESSE 2015 to make ship traffic more reliable while decreasing the maintenance costs at the same time. In cooperation with project partners, the research institute from Hannover, Germany, has developed a sensor system which continuously monitors the condition of the marine gearbox, thus preventing breakdowns. Special feature: the monitoring system works wirelessly and energy-autonomously. The required electrical power is generated where it is needed – directly at the sensor.
As well as cars need to be certified regularly (in Germany by the TÜV – Technical Inspection Association), ships need to be inspected – if the powertrain stops...

Agricultural insecticides pose a global risk to surface water bodies
February 25, 2015 01:51 PM - Tilo Arnhold, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research
Streams within approximately 40% of the global land surface are at risk from the application of insecticides. These were the results from the first global map to be modeled on insecticide runoff to surface waters, which has just been published in the journal Environmental Pollution by researchers from the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the University of Koblenz-Landau together with the University of Milan, Aarhus University and Aachen University. According to the publication, particularly streams in the Mediterranean, the USA, Central America and Southeast Asia are at risk.
Plastic-Eating Corals Discovered on Great Barrier Reef
February 24, 2015 02:49 PM - ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies
Researchers in Australia have found that corals commonly found on the Great Barrier Reef will eat micro-plastic pollution. "Corals are non-selective feeders and our results show that they can consume microplastics when the plastics are present in seawater," says Dr Mia Hoogenboom, a Chief Investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University.

Center for Biological Diversity launches new Environmental Health Program
February 21, 2015 07:47 AM - Center for Biological Diversity
The Center for Biological Diversity this week launched its new Environmental Health program, greatly expanding its capacity to protect wildlife, people and the environment from pesticides, rodenticides, lead, mining, industrial pollution, and air and water pollution.
"The future of people is deeply intertwined with the fate of all the other species that evolved beside us," said Lori Ann Burd, the program's director. "This new program will work to protect biodiversity and human health from toxic substances while promoting a deep understanding of the connection between the health of people and imperiled species."
Oil Train Derailment Causes Huge Fire in West Virginia
February 18, 2015 02:17 PM - Judy Molland, Care2
A huge fire is burning out of control in West Virginia and 1,000 people have been evacuated from their homes, after a train carrying crude oil derailed. When the accident happened, on the afternoon of Monday, February 16, crude oil began pouring into a river that supplies drinking water. Officials noted that at least one of the derailed tanker cars fell into the Kanawha River. The area is about 30 miles from the location where 10,000 gallons of a coal industry chemical called crude MCHM spilled and tainted the drinking water supply a little over one year ago.
New ozone-destroying gases on the rise
February 17, 2015 08:07 AM - University of Leeds
Scientists report that chemicals that are not controlled by a United Nations treaty designed to protect the Ozone Layer are contributing to ozone depletion. In the new study, published today in Nature Geoscience, the scientists also report the atmospheric abundance of one of these 'very short-lived substances' (VSLS) is growing rapidly.
When you stop at a red light you are exposed to higher levels of air pollution
February 13, 2015 08:36 AM - University of Surrey via EurekAlert.
UK commuters spend an average of about 1.5 hours a day at the wheel. Road vehicles in particular are known to emit polluting nanoparticles which contribute to respiratory and heart diseases. Now, researchers at the University of Surrey have found that where drivers spend just 2% of their journey time passing through traffic intersections managed by lights, this short duration contributes to about 25% of total exposure to these harmful particles.
The team monitored drivers' exposure to air pollutants at various points of a journey. Signalised traffic intersections were found to be high pollution hot-spots due to the frequent changes in driving conditions.
New study calculates magnitude of plastic waste going into the ocean
February 12, 2015 03:30 PM - Stephanie Schupska, University of Georgia
A plastic grocery bag cartwheels down the beach until a gust of wind spins it into the ocean. In 192 coastal countries, this scenario plays out over and over again as discarded beverage bottles, food wrappers, toys and other bits of plastic make their way from estuaries, seashores and uncontrolled landfills to settle in the world's seas.
Children in cities have increased risk of neurological damage due to air pollution
February 12, 2015 08:47 AM - University of Montana
Pollution in many cities threatens the brain development in children. Findings by University of Montana Professor Dr. Lilian Calderón-Garcidueñas, MA, MD, Ph.D., and her team of researchers reveal that children living in megacities are at increased risk for brain inflammation and neurodegenerative changes, including Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Calderón-Garcidueñas' findings are detailed in a paper titled "Air pollution and children: Neural and tight junction antibodies and combustion metals, the role of barrier breakdown and brain immunity in neurodegeneration."
Autoimmune disease risk found related to mercury exposure
February 10, 2015 07:03 AM -
One of the greatest risk factors for autoimmunity among women of childbearing age may be associated with exposure to mercury such as through seafood, a new University of Michigan study says.
The findings, which appear in Environmental Health Perspectives, found that mercury - even at low levels generally considered safe - was associated with autoimmunity. Autoimmune disorders, which cause the body's immune system to attack healthy cells by mistake, affects nearly 50 million Americans and predominately women.

Jeffrey S. Savage has mastered the hook, and I'm not talking boxing. Each short chapter-ending hooked me to turn the page. It was noticeable right off and continued throughout the book. Sometimes this was achieved by splitting the scene in two at a critical or exciting point. Savage also has a quick way of warming the reader to his likeable main character. This is especially necessary in a series. I enjoyed Shandra's character traits from her curiosity that gets her into interesting situations t ...more

(Genre:LDS fiction/mystery) This story takes place after "House of Secrets" and is another adventure/mystery with the same main character. But the mysteries are stand alones and you don't have to read one to understand the other. I almost gave this book 3 stars because of it's cliff hanging ending.

This book had all of the essential elements of a good scooby-doo mystery except of course for Scoob and the Gang. That's not necessarily a bad thing; I just would classify this as predictable, light reading despite what the cover looks like. Shandra Covington is the quirky, food loving, meddling, trap setting mystery inc. all rolled into one. Kind of fun, but not at all something you could take seriously.

I liked this book, but not as much as the first one. I got tired of Shandra doing stupid things. She's always putting herself in danger, I feel, needlessly. However, I liked the surprise ending, and we still don't know where her father is or if Bobby is really going to marry Brooklyn. So onward to the next installment in the series.

Like the first one, fast-paced and with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. I still like the main characters, and enjoyed the inside jokes on a few of the names. However, it ends in a REALLY BAD spot. So I hope the next one is coming out SOON!

As good as the first one. This one had me guessing more. I considered giving it 3 stars because the author left the end as a cliffhanger and has now moved on to a new series without finishing this one. So I hear anyway.

Self-inflicted gunshot wound killed pursuit suspect, says Merced County Coroner
A 26-year-old man who died after a Highway 99 pursuit with law enforcement was killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Merced County Sheriff's Department reported Thursday afternoon.
The coroner's office has identified the man as Brandon Wesley Eckel.
The incident was reported at 12:18 a.m. Wednesday after Ceres Police Officer Bryan Ferreira pulled over the suspect's 1998 GMC Sonoma.
After the officer learned the Eckel was driving on a suspended license, he informed the suspect the truck would be towed, according to Sheriff's Deputy Delray Shelton.
Eckel drove away, leading officers on a high speed chase on Highway 99. At the end of the pursuit, Eckel went across the highway's median in the Livingston area, traveling into the northbound lanes, and turning off onto the Sultana Drive on-ramp.
He lost control of the truck and wrecked after driving on the wrong side of the road against traffic, according to Shelton. Eckel exited the truck, holding a long gun to his chin area, and then pointed the weapon at the officers, according to the sheriff's department.
Two Ceres police officers and a CHP officer, fearing for their lives, fired at Eckel. At some point, the suspect discharged his own weapon, fatally shooting himself.
The Ceres officers who discharged their weapons have been identified as Officer Dirk Neiuwenhuis and Officer Brian Albonetti. The CHP officer who discharged his weapon hasn't been identified, pending the investigation, according to Shelton.
Deputies haven't said whether Eckel was shot after being fired upon by the officers. The officers weren't hurt.
According to the sheriff's department, Eckel had been living with his girlfriend in the Stockton area. His previous arrests have included allegations of domestic violence, drug violations, evading police, resisting arrest and sex crimes. During the investigation, detectives said drugs were found on Eckel's person.
The officers have been placed on administrative leave, as part of standard procedure.
After the incident happened, Ceres police turned over the officer-involved shooting part of the investigation over to the Merced County Sheriff's Department. [TAIL_FL]City Editor Victor A. Patton can be reached at (209) 385-2431 or firstname.lastname@example.com.[TAIL_FR]

Enriching Young Families' Lives
Interested in learning more about how exactly programs like Healthy Families America make a difference in the lives of children and parents?
A large federal evaluation of home visiting known as MIHOPE (Mother Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation) is helping us learn more about home visiting impacts.
MIHOPE represents one of the largest investments in home visiting research to date.
Our Healthy Families Clinton Program needs the support of the entire community in order to gather valuable data for this project. They need every pregnant woman that is 32 weeks pregnant or less to contact the program to be part of this project. There are incentives for the participants in the form of gift cards. Everyone, regardless of income, is eligible as long as they are 32 weeks or less pregnant.
The number to call is 518-563-8206 x 150 and say, "I am less than 32 weeks pregnant and I want to be part of your project."
Johns Hopkins University is conducting this research and our Healthy Families Clinton Program is thrilled to be a part of this baseline data gathering segment.
Help us help Clinton County young parents - spread the word!

Well im sitting here racking my brain on what I want to do with a saison I brewed. OG was 1.086 and right now im only at 1.032 only 60% attenuation, from a yeast that is suppose to have 75-80%. After the krausen dropped I tried raising the temp a little more, but never took off again. Beer taste great, but I wanted a dyer beer. So im thinking either, pitching some dry yeast to try and finish the job, other option is to throw in some Brett that I have lying around, but really dont want to do that cause I want to drink this one some time soon.. Other option is just to leave it alone. What would you do? Also anyone else had this problem with this yeast? I went with the saison II yeast because of the problems I have read about the Saison I yeast not producing a dry beer.
How long has it been since the beer started fermenting? What was the temperature during fermentation? I leave my saisons in the fermenter for about 3-4 weeks at 85F (but pitch at 68F) and they reach over 82% attenuation. Chris White said that it can take a while to for the yeast to reach terminal gravity, especially if the beer is cool. He also said that if a brewer wants the beer to be drier they could pitch another yeast strain, like champagne or chardonnay yeast.
I have two more questions: what was the mash temp and did you use simple sugars? I like to mash at 145F and I use about 10% cane sugar in my saisons and I can get them down to 1.006. Saison can take a while to ferment, like I said I usually let mine go for three weeks. Sometimes I pitch champagne yeast after it reaches 75-80% attenuation.
I must say, however, I have not brewed a saison with a gravity over 1.070, and I see you brewed quite abig one, so that might be have something to do with it. I think if let your brew sit for two more weeks it will dry out. Take a gravity reading after a week and see if it's any lower. If it isn't try piching a second yeast, any dry yeast like Cal ale, Nottingham, champagne (my fav) or a wine yeast.
Good luck!
Yeah, my digital thermometer was not working properly, it was showing the "correct" temp of 149F for my IPA but it turned out that the real temp was 124F! Good thing my analog thermometer works fine.

This report is partial and unfair as it did not consider certain events that took place before and after Ms Bhutto's assasination.
- Ms Bhutto did not considered the security warning by the Governemnt.
- She had her own security staff taking over the security arrangements. The assasination of her Security Chief, few months later, castes doubts on the elements within the her Party.
- Role of two of PPP ministers Rehman Malik and Babar Awan is suspicious as they left minutes before the incident in the reserved bullet proof car.
- Bhutto's "Last Will" is very suspicious that nominates Asif Zardari as successor.
- If we look at the newspapers of December 28, 2007, we see that Government wanted to carry out post mortem but Asif Zardari did not allow that and Government did not force them to avoid any severe reaction in the public.
- Investigation took place on wrong lines. It was funded and supported by those who are accused, so how one can expect to find truth.
- Pervez Musharraf beared loss as a result of this incident, pointing fingers on him is quite unfair.
- Role of CIA can not be ignored but again how one can expect to find truth if the commission is funded by US.
There are many question that need to be answered so its unfair to draw out a final conclusion before those questions are answered.
If anyone wants to discuss this issue, feel free to contact me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Why, pray tell, was this criminal given refuge in London, of all places?
The Economist writes: "To be fair to Mr Musharraf, some of the bungling described in the report is unremarkable in Pakistan."
One piece of damning information in report states :
"[Chief Police Officer] CPO Saud Aziz had confided in him that he had received a call from Army Headquarters instructing him to order the hosing down ofthe crime scene. Another source, also speaking on the basis of anonymity, said that the CPO was ordered to hose down the scene by Major General Nadeem Ijaz Ahmad, then Director General of MI. Others, including three police officials, told the Commission that CPO Saud Aziz did not act independently and that "everyone knows" who ordered the hosing down. However, they were not willing to state on the record what it is that "everyone knows". "
Major General Nadeem Ijaz was a personal appointee of Musharraf's to head the powerful Military Intelligence secret agency which became excessively influential during the Musharraf era. General Ijaz also happened to be Mrs Musharraf's nephew, which in the Pakistani familial context can be a very close relationship indeed. In other words the hosing done of evidence to avoid a forensic investigation could only have been done with Musharraf's direct conivance.
Let us see if Zardari - who publicly announced over a year ago that he knew who killed his wife - finally finds the courage to take action against Benazir's assassins. Those familiar with the man's priorities – mostly fiscal - very much doubt that he will do anything other than wage a war of hot air.
Please the earlier comment is not to insult, attack or mock pakistan in any form.
This is just become the unfortunate reality and if Pakistan wants to realize its humungus potential of bbeing an important and contributing part of the world it needs to get its act together.
The citizens need to wake up, its do or die my friend, you will decide what Kind of a country your citizens live in, 1 which accepts sporadic AID from US or 1 which has its own identity is strong stable and has a growing economy.
Please my friends change the country or like all my pakistani friends here in the states, all of the educated and well trained middle class and upper class will leave the country.
Pakistan is a messed up country where the institutions no longer hold power, power is up for grab for the person with the biggest gun. They just go and hide when there are bigger unmanned guns in the air which US thinks will solve its problem.
There are some fundamental problems with the country right now
1. first and foremast, citizens have no and absolutely no rights.
2. A country balance the power it gives to its supreme leader by giving powers to institutions which keep the leader in check and within the constitution. In pakistan the insitutions are a joke, the only ones which matter are the ones connected to all powerful, all selfish army.
3. Pakistan will and be sure of it have another democratic election, where the prime minister struggles to gain importance and tends the line of the army. After a few years the army decides that the government is useless, will take over and not leave power for another 10 years. In these ten years it will buff up the army supplies, give more power to the army and make un-informed and un-practical civilian and economic decisions.
4.ISI.....it will be the new Al-Quida or however you spell it. the head of the pakistani army is a man who spent his life in the ISI. Our new osama bin laden, he will destroy his country trying to get the all importnat "KASHMIR' FOR HIS people. there is no gold in kashmir, how is it going to solve all the sociological, economical and institutional problems the country faces.

(Reuters) - Hewlett-Packard Co and attorneys representing shareholders have agreed to settle litigation over its troubled $11.1 billion acquisition of British software company Autonomy Corp, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.
Under the terms of the settlement, involving three lawsuits, the attorneys for the shareholders have agreed to drop all claims against HP's current and former executives, including CEO Meg Whitman, board members and advisers to the company, the source said.
The exception to that will be former officials at Autonomy. As part of the agreement, the shareholders' attorneys will assist HP in pursuing claims against Autonomy's co-founder and former CEO Michael Lynch, its former chief financial officer Sushovan Hussain, and potentially others related to Autonomy, the source said. The precise nature of such claims and when HP might file them could not be learned.
The settlement, which followed mediation, is expected to be announced as soon as Monday. The source said it is likely to be signed before Monday.
HP took an $8.8 billion impairment charge in November 2012 for its purchase of Autonomy only just over a year earlier, with more than $5 billion of that linked to what HP said at the time were "serious accounting improprieties, misrepresentation and disclosure failures."
The size of the loss, and the speed with which it occurred, marks the deal as one of the most disastrous done by a major company in recent years.
In particular, sources close to an HP investigation into the matter say that the technology giant believes that Autonomy's results and prospects were made to look much better than they were.
Lynch, has consistently denied HP's allegations, saying HP is blaming him for its own failure to manage Autonomy after the acquisition.
A spokesman for Lynch said that "we continue to reject HP's allegations." He said it appears that Whitman will be using a large sum of HP's money to avoid explaining in court why she made the November 2012 allegations regarding Autonomy. "We hope this matter will now move beyond a smear campaign based on selective disclosure and HP will finally give a full explanation," the Lynch spokesman added.
Hussain has not responded to calls and emails. His lawyer, John Keker, a founding partner of Keker & Van Nest LLP in San Francisco, did not respond to requests for comment.
Shareholders had sued HP board members and executives, accusing them of breaching their fiduciary duties and wasting corporate assets. The lawsuits sought corporate governance changes at HP, attorneys' fees, and the ability to pursue damages claims against those responsible for the acquisition.
HP has shared the results of its investigation into accounting questions at Autonomy with attorneys representing the shareholders, the source familiar with the negotiations said.
One of the law firms representing shareholders in the settlement, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, declined to comment. The other firm, Cotchett Pitre & McCarthy LLP, was not immediately available for comment.
The attorneys representing shareholders will receive fees for helping HP pursue any further claims, the source said. Additional terms of HP's settlement with shareholders are unclear.
HP's allegations of accounting improprieties, misrepresentation and disclosure failures at Autonomy have prompted an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as the UK's Serious Fraud Office.
The U.S. authorities have asked for more documents and interviewed several witnesses in recent weeks, sources familiar with the HP investigation said.
Representatives of the FBI and the SEC declined to comment. The SFO said its probe was "very much in progress."
It is unclear if the investigations by the authorities in the U.S. and UK will lead to action against any parties involved in Autonomy or HP's deal to acquire it. At the end of March, HP also settled a lawsuit that accused the personal computer maker's former management of defrauding shareholders by abandoning a business model it had long touted. In that case, the company agreed to pay shareholders $57 million.
The lawsuit was filed after former HP CEO Leo Apotheker shocked investors on August 18, 2011 by announcing plans to refocus the company on business services and products, which included the Autonomy purchase.

Tim Rich: Rickie Lambert selection exposes England's dearth of talent
Hodgson chooses 31-year-old to lead attack and also breaks predecessor's rule by allowing WAGs into hotel
Friday 06 September 2013
As the debate over the lack of quality available to England managers swirled around him, Roy Hodgson put his faith in a 31-year-old centre-forward who has played two seasons in the top two divisions.
Hodgson's decision to name his starting line-up before England face Moldova was a bold and confident one. However, with Daniel Sturridge and Wayne Rooney both injured, the choice of Rickie Lambert as England's central striker emphasised the dearth of talent available to him. Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott will play either side of Lambert at Wembley this evening.
Jermain Defoe is available but not fully fit and Hodgson pointed out he has not started a single Premier League game this season for Tottenham, a club that has spent more than £100m in the summer on non-English recruits.
Hodgson added that Sturridge, who in the absence of Luis Suarez has scored in every Premier League game for Liverpool this season, was unlikely to be fit to play in what should be a pivotal fixture against Ukraine on Tuesday. Steven Gerrard, his captain for club and country, confirmed that Sturridge had begun last Sunday's game against Manchester United carrying a thigh injury, which has since worsened.
"It would be wrong if I didn't admit the loss of Rooney and Sturridge is a major blow," Hodgson said. "Even before the weekend those two were very much in my mind. But this is an opportunity for the man who has been sitting back trying to take their place, a chance to get the shirt and shine. It is a chance for Kyle Walker [who will also start] and Lambert to make it clear they should be there, they deserve to be there and they have the quality to be there."
Off the pitch, Hodgson allowed the England players a visit from their respective wives, girlfriends and family, who were permitted to stay the night at England's pre-match base, The Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire.
In stark contrast to his predecessor, Fabio Capello, who operated a no-WAGs policy, Hodgson was comfortable with the arrangement, even on the eve of a World Cup qualifier.
An FA spokesman said: "No rules have been broken."
Lambert may have been playing for Rochdale in the bottom tier of English football in 2006 when the so-called "golden generation" was being heavily backed to win the World Cup in Germany but he scored 15 Premier League goals for Southampton last season and found the net with his first touch as an international in the 3-2 win over Scotland at Wembley last month.
He is the first Southampton player to start a competitive game for England since James Beattie a decade ago. However, since Beattie was chosen to face Liechtenstein in a European Championship qualifier at Old Trafford, the quality of the competition was even more dubious than Moldova, who have not beaten anyone other than San Marino in a serious fixture for three years.
Nevertheless, what would concern Defoe is that Hodgson chose Lambert, not just because the Tottenham forward was carrying an injury but because Lambert is a regular starter for his club.
"It is partly the fact that Lambert turned up fully fit and partly because he has played three matches," is how the England manager explained his choice. "It was a straight choice between Lambert and Defoe. Jermain hasn't played for Spurs and came here with a slight injury."
Asked if Sturridge would be fit for what since the draw was made had always appeared England's most difficult fixture – Ukraine in Kiev's Olympic Stadium in four days' time – Hodgson remarked: "I am not enormously optimistic. I am not confident."
Speaking after the FA's new chairman, Greg Dyke, said that few people thought England had "a realistic chance of winning the World Cup in Brazil", Hodgson argued that the proper time for a discussion was once the qualification campaign for the 2014 finals was over.
"However, we cannot deny that in certain positions we have enormous competition and there are certain positions where the competition is less," he said.
"But to refer back to the 1970s [a decade in which England failed to qualify for successive World Cups] does not help anyone.
"It is now 2013 and the question we have to ask is are we certain that the talent we do produce is going to be turned into the Gerrards and the Lampards of tomorrow?
"Coaches are entitled to believe in their players and I don't need to be cowed by figures from the past. I am with a good group of players who have the wish to do well. I fully believe they will."
