I'm coming up on my eight year anniversary at this blog, 10th of blogging overall if you count previous platforms now defunct, and the bad old days of literally coding every single thing in html (that really sucked). I really enjoy doing this, even though the pay is bad (none) and the benefits are even worse (none).
But one of the things that keeps me going are the discussions that pop up from time to time as a result of something I've written. There really is no greater compliment…whether the reaction is good or bad. Someone took the time to read what I wrote, and then, even more time to respond.
I've had the pleasure of meeting all kinds of awesome people, on both sides of the aisle. That's what I treasure most about blogging…the relationships that get built over time.
So it was with a great deal of pleasure that I received an open letter from Shelby County Election Commissioner Dee Nollner regarding this post on the close District 10 race (and more).
I've included the full text of the letter below my comments on the issues raised for you to peruse. I figure, if its good enough for all the Democratic email lists out there, its good enough to be searchable so it can be easily found in the future.
If you want to read it first, click here to skip to the bottom of the post. There's a link down there to get you right back here.
Ms. Nollner:
Thank you for your email. I hope you'll allow me the opportunity to respond to some of your points.
The issue at hand is whether or not I have my facts straight on a series of questions. I freely admit that as a human, I am prone to error. But I'm not sure the errors pointed out are the best ones to make your case.
Far be it for me to correct you…but I would like to respond to some of the statements you made.
For instance, I was aware that the Election Commission retains two attorneys (a Republican and a Democrat) for advice on election issues. However, there's no question that Mr. Ryder holds more sway with the Commissioners. Mr. Ryder is very involved in election issues in his role as General Counsel for the RNC, not to mention his prior role as Special Redistricting Counsel to the GOP led TN General Assembly…a process that was held largely in secret.
It is for his body of work both with the Election Commission, and in other places, not his partisan bent or his ability as an attorney to hatch a legal opinion that I question some of his advice the Commission. It is curious that Mr. Ryders recommendations consistently meet the mere letter of the law rather than seek to ease the unease that surrounds the Election Commission…unease which you apparently dispute in your 5th point. I'll get to that later.
Perhaps Mr. Ryder only believes it is his place to advise on legal matters. But I know Mr. Ryder to be an intelligent man, who is capable of expressing many perspectives on a single issue. Certainly additional insight could be offered if asked for.
Statements 2 & 3 – I agree that no challenge can be made until the election is certified. I never said one way or the other. I merely reported what transpired at a meeting…just like Jackson Baker, who was sitting right next to me.
Its not until later that I get into my opinion on the matter, which in no place did I say there could be a challenge before certification. I merely said the Election Commission should either 1) Publish a schedule of when documents would be available, or 2) Just make them available noting they are preliminary…just like the results in the Commercial Appeal.
Statement 4 – Having spent literally hundreds of hours dissecting the horribly organized SOVC reports for every election since 2006 (which, unquestionably is the worst) for analysis, I am quite aware that absentee ballots and election day ballots aren't mixed. I never said they were. In fact, it would mess up most of what I wish to analyze if they were mixed. I only said that it is possible some absentee ballots received on election day had not been counted due to human error.
Statement 5 – This one is my favorite. If you're unaware, or have perhaps forgotten about the past problems at the Election Commission, let me give you a quick refresher.
3000 voters received the wrong ballot in 2012
In that same election, two contests were overturned by a judge, here, and here.
Which led the newspaper of record to as why the Election Commission wasn't better prepared, which seems like a fair question.
All of this led to the suspension of Elections Administrator Richard Holden, which some believe was too light a punishment.
This was followed by another critical audit of the Election Commission by the Shelby County Government, and eventually a no confidence vote led by a Republican County Commissioner…who you scolded for attacking another Republican…and questioned the basis (which is chronicled above) for the No Confidence vote. The City Council did it too.
In short, you would have to live on a completely different world to believe that there is no chronicle of failures at the Election Commission. Furthermore, the absence of problems in subsequent elections is not "praise worthy", as I note in the post, because doing exactly what you're supposed to do is what you're supposed to do. Doing more than you're supposed to do is praise-worthy, but that isn't happening.
In fact, the Election Commission isn't even doing the bare minimum. Your online meeting notices are behind, as are the available agendas, its interesting to note there is no posted agenda for tonight's meeting. And the meeting audio link only lists audio from October of 2013.
Statement 7 – I have never once faulted poll workers for anything. I have no idea why you brought this up or them into it. I respect their service, and hope to one day be able to serve in that capacity as well.
I'm not sure what the point of this is, other than to use these innocents as human shields to deflect criticism…which is truly bad form.
Ms. Nollner, I'm happy to help distribute "facts" as you ask. I have, over the course of my time writing here in Memphis, always done so to the best of my ability. The "facts" you assert that I have misstated are not misstatements, except to your perspective. We can agree to disagree, but I will not back down on criticism when criticism is due.
Process is very important to me. Process is the means by which the public can observe what the various organs of government are doing. Violations, real or perceived of process will be met with extreme prejudice…regardless of who commits it.
Ask the State and Local Democratic parties if I have ever withheld criticism for their lack of transparent process. Ask my friends who serve in elective or appointed positions if I have ever held fire on the boards they serve on. I am very consistent on this point.
So when the information available is unnecessarily vague, difficult to navigate, or filled with civic sins of omission, I will speak up. If you don't appreciate that, so be it. But I will not be deterred.
If you are truly interested in the "facts" getting out to the public, your organization, the Shelby County Election Commission will have to choose to do more than the bare minimum.
As it stands, the average citizen has no chance of knowing what in the world is going on at the Election Commission unless they have also looked at the TN Secretary of State's election page or dared to delve into the TCA, which is more than unwieldy.
The information the Election Commission puts on its website is consistently out of date, and difficult to navigate.
This wasn't always the case.
Once upon a time I even praised the Commission for updating its website. Unfortunately, those strides have not been maintained.
I've written more than one blueprint to correct some of the problems of information dissemination at the Election Commission. I even served on an election reform board with Commissioners Stamson and Lester…that included much of this blueprint in its final recommendations.
This is something I care deeply about…not a political football to be flung around when its convenient.
So let's make a deal rather than fling invective at each other in a truly pointless fashion.
I know the Commission is short on staff, so let me take this opportunity to offer my services to make the Election Commission website more navigable, on a volunteer basis (20 hours to start).
I have 20 years of experience with web development, publishing platforms, and audio and video editing/streaming. I feel confident that I can come up with a plan and present it to the Commission for your approval, to make the site more navigable under the current content management structure and a strategy to help keep content up to date.
It seems clear that the Commission doesn't have the resources to do this, so let me help. Maybe I'll get some additional perspective on the challenges facing the Commission…which could work to the organization's benefit.
If you really want me to be involved in distributing "facts", let me help the Election Commission do that which you apparently are unable to do yourself.
I would be happy, and honored to serve.
Steve Ross
P.S. If you would like to contact me about this offer, please go here and fill out the form. That goes straight to my email. I don't publish my email address, or anyone else's for security purposes.
Mr. Ross, your blog regarding the Jones-Milton election brings to mind that old saying "a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing". Misinformation harms everyone and deprives the public of facts they need to make an intelligent decision.
1. The SCEC has two attorneys, Monice Hagler (D) and John Ryder (R) they concurred regarding the TCA law applicable to this situation — TN State Party Primary Board is the authority for a primary challenge.
2. Clearly no challenge can be made until a decision has been made – two separate auditors (an R and a D) verify every item before submitting the audit for certification.
3. After they have audited the information it will be available for review.
4. Absentee ballots are not mixed with Election Day voting.
5. Well chronicled is defined by the chronicler!
6. At the conclusion of precinct voting, a tabulation is run for all the machines in that precinct – 3 identical copies are printed, one copy is posted on the wall of that precinct and the other two copies are packed separately and delivered to the SCEC that evening for auditing purposes.
7. Approx. 1,400 of your friends and neighbors answer the call to be election workers so the other 531,600 registered voters have the privilege of voting. Some of your friends and neighbors are more capable than others. Election workers are assisted by the 14-member staff. Our temp workers do a remarkable job and we are grateful they are willing to work the 13+hour Election Day. Understandably, some make mistakes but our system is set up to identify and address those errors in an orderly manner through audit.
8. I assure you that the SCEC goes by the law. Will you please help convey facts? I am happy to try to answer questions anytime.
Dee Nollner
Days before the first day of Early Voting at Satellite locations, Democratic Candidates Henri Brooks and Deidre Malone charged the Election Commission with voter suppression for reducing the number of days satellite locations were open as compared to the May 2010 County Primary.
The Election Commission says they reduced the number to reduce the cost of the election…and that the additional days of early voting at Satellite locations could be absorbed by the downtown location.
One of the issues brought up at the presser with Brooks and Malone was that the downtown location wasn't centralized enough or accessible to adequately cover the difference in the number of days Satellite locations were available…something the Election Commission seemed willing to look into for future elections.
So there are really two questions here:
1. Did the downtown location absorb a significant amount of the early voting traffic?
2. Did the absence of Early Voting days at Satellite locations suppress the vote?
To find that out, we have to get into the numbers.
Early voting at Satellite locations in the May 2010 election began on Monday, April 19th. Satellite location this year opened on Friday, April 25th. That means there were four fewer days for satellite locations this year than in 2010.
This year, there were 4707 fewer people that participated in early voting. Here's the breakdown by location types.
Diff +/-
Assisted Living
Average Voters per day
First, let's answer our two questions:
1. Did the downtown location absorb a significant amount of the early voting traffic? Not Even Close
The downtown location underperformed versus 2010 big time because for four MORE days it was the only game in town. For those four more days it brought in less than 25 more people per day. That's hardly absorbing anything of consequence.
2. Did the absence of Early Voting days at Satellite locations suppress the vote?
Before I go there, let's take a look at some data.
Looking at the table below, it seems pretty clear that the final days of early voting in 2014 were more brisk than in 2010. This is most likely due to the fewer number of days.
But by the end of Early Voting, an 8100 vote gap was narrowed to just under 4700 votes.
Cumulative Satellite votes per day. 2010 vs. 2014
Diff +/-
The fact is, with 40% fewer voting hours at satellite locations, satellite voting was only 16.7% less. On an hourly basis, there were actually about 70 MORE voters per hour in 2014 than in 2010.
Had the full 81 hours been given at that pace the final satellite tally could have been about 5700 MORE voters in early voting, which means we would have outpaced 2010 by about 1000 voters.
So its a bit disingenuous to say Early Voting is down 15% without noting the number of hours satellite locations were open is also down 40%.
All told, early voting performance for any May election was pretty good. Was it good enough to warrant 10 days of satellite locations? Probably not.
The August 2010 election brought over 90,000 early voters. That election absolutely needed to have 10 days of satellite locations.
Back to our second question. Was the decision to limit satellite locations to 6 days inherently suppressive? It certainly didn't help early voting turnout, but lets not pretend that people were flocking to the polls on any day other than the last day of Early Voting.
That said, if Tuesday night rolls around and the vote total is close to or greater than 2010 (they're projecting about a 10% decline from 2010), it'll be pretty clear that the Election Commission's projections on this were efficient from a financial standpoint, but off the mark from a "serving the public" standpoint.
Six days is probably too few, and ten days is probably too many.
There are lots of things the Election Commission can look at, including underperforming early voting locations to get the right mix of May early voting locations. For instance, one location only saw 333 votes cast in 6 days which is low by any measure.
But since this election really only happens once every four years, its a crap shoot. Hopefully for August they'll take the savings from this election, and make early voting more accessible to voters.
Of course, you'd never know what they're planning since the Election Commissions Minutes and Agendas page is 4 to 6 months behind. (sheesh, seriously people?)
I'll take a deeper look into the final election results on Wednesday and Thursday.
Stay tuned.
At that time I linked to a lot of things…including the intention to cut the number of precincts to 150 from 236.
Last year's precinct consolidation meant many voters didn't get cards with their new location until the day of the election. It can't have helped that the decision was made just a month before early voting was to begin…or that the body was so far behind on their redistricting procedure they fouled up the August state primary…leading to threats from the State Election Commission, a rebuke from the state Comptroller for shoddy management, two overturned elections, a further fouled up November election, and yet another rebuke…this time from the County.
Quite a resume, no?
So its probably easy to understand why someone might look at the current move with a skeptical eye.
The Election Commission is reportedly meeting tomorrow, Wednesday, October 15th at the Election Operations Center at 980 Nixon. I have no idea what's on the agenda because it doesn't appear on the website, nor does a meeting notice. Normal time for meetings is 4:30, but I recommend you call ahead…just to be sure. The number is 222-1200.
As you can see, transparency is highly valued at the Election Commission…even the minutes are months behind.
But according to sources this list of precinct consolidations will be up for discussion.
The 58,000 voters in the precincts that would be shut down, are 74% Democratic voters. That shouldn't come as too much of a surprise considering the partisan breakdown of the Election Commission, and the general partisan leanings of the county (which is at least 70% Democratic in November elections).
But the partisan leanings of the precincts, isn't really the issue…its the disclosure to the voters.
There hasn't been any…again.
If you're concerned about these, or any other actions of the Election Commission, I recommend you go to one of their meetings. Maybe even ask a question or two. Public meetings aren't sexy, but they are where things get done. If you don't like what's happened and what's happening, you owe it to yourself to go. Nothing happens for people who don't show up.
Here's the information again.
Election Operations Center
980 Nixon
Wednesday, October 14th, 4:30PM.
The meeting is open to the public.
Election Day is over, and despite some local reports of problems with too few machines in some places and malfunctioning machines in others…it seems to have gone pretty smoothly. Regardless of your political bent, we should all be thankful for that.
|It wasn't that way for everyone, as the video to the left shows. No matter how many times this voter pushes one button, another lights up. It's pretty freaky if you ask me and more than a little troubling.
This video is from Pennsylvania, not Tennessee. While the problem here is more likely a calibration issue, it certainly doesn't do much to make folks feel like their vote is secure.
The truth is, the last thing people want is to feel like something shady is going on. That's the rationale for all kinds of laws that impact voting.
The issue with touch-screen voting is and always has been the lack of a verifiable paper trail. As someone who works with computers all day, and so many of us do these days, we've all experienced the "I just lost everything" problem at one time or another. Touchscreen voting machines are just computers. In the absence of a paper trail, we might never know when that happens with touchscreen machines when they catastrophically fail.
In 2006 we made an investment in these machines. It was a bad investment if you ask me. At the time it took Democratic support to get these machines. I get that. But this wasn't a strictly partisan issue then and it isn't one now. I think both parties agree that unverifiable elections are unacceptable regardless of who's in charge.
Since 2006, the company that first made the machines, Diebold, has gotten out of the election business, and many states have moved back to paper ballots.
Considering all the challenges we have here in Shelby Co., the fear about a correct count shouldn't be one of them. We need to join the two Tennessee counties that got it right in the first place and the many states and local election commissions nationwide that are making the change and adopt paper ballots.
It just makes good sense, and right now is the right time.
Our next County-wide election isn't until May of 2014…the County Primary. That gives us 17 months to prepare.
This won't be the only change at the Election Commission. Word on the street is that there's a top to bottom internal review in the near future, not to mention the Election Review Committee that the County Commission empaneled (of which I am a member). Integrating the shift to paper ballots in the reform process is both an efficient and intelligent way to restore confidence in the process.
There's a lot more that needs to be done at the Election Commission, but removing one of the key sticking points, the lack of a verifiable paper trail, is one way to begin restoring confidence in the institution tasked with executing our elections.
We should all push to adopt paper ballots now. Here's how to contact the members of the Shelby County Election Commission:
This is about the results of the Primary election in Shelby County from yesterday and how the wrong ballot problem may or may not have impacted the outcome of race.
There was a concern that the error rate we were seeing out of House Districts with contested Primary elections would lead to contested results in determining the Democratic nominee. For instance, by the end of Early Voting, House District 90 was showing a 15% error rate over all (people voting in and out of district). That's pretty substantial and could have completely thrown the election.
An election with a result falling inside this error margin would have likely resulted in a challenge. However, that wouldn't have been decided in court, but rather by the State and Local Party structures. This is something no party wants to be faced with.
For those of you familiar with the Primary Election ouster of Rosalind Kurita, you know that this can be both an emotional and controversial issue. Her case was different….Democratic bona fides were the question. A challenge based on a bad election would have been even more difficult because the actions of a third party, in this case the Shelby County Election Commission, would have been at issue rather than the qualities or qualifications of candidates themselves.
Regardless, the local party structure would have been asked to make a choice and in the most hotly contested elections that choice would have been very difficult and divisive.
Its still too early to tell, and none of the election day participation has been analyzed, but at first glance it appears that both the Shelby County Election Commission and the local Party structures are off the hook on this issue. The margins of victory lead me to believe that even if a challenge is brought it will be denied by the party. This is just an initial impression.
While the Shelby County Election Commission may have dodged this bullet, and the additional black eye that would have come with it, there are still plenty of issues regarding this election that need to be investigated. It is my hope that the investigation by the State Comptrollers office is transparent, thorough, and speedy. Anything less would leave questions in the minds of the voters.
I'll also be looking into much of this. I don't want to overly bird-dog the Election Commission, but I also think its important the public fully understand what has happened and how to move forward and regain the faith and trust of the public.
Stay Tuned…

6.0 woes
Howdy; long story here so I'll try to be as brief as possible;
I bought a 2004 6.0 back in 2007, drove it until 2012 with various problems along the way mostly due to cold starts in the north and what seemed to be injector stiction. Truck would run fine hot, soon as it was cold though it was hard starting and stumbled real hard on like 3-4 cylinders until warm. I took it to a diesel mechanic and replaced an injector in March 2012, drove to Texas 1600 miles away and it was fine. The mechanic didn't find anything wrong with the motor other than the #4 injector which was replaced with a new motorcraft.
When I got to Texas, I drove it for a few weeks and went under its own power into a Sears parking lot. When I came out of Sears, it refused to start and I never got it to. I did as much troubleshooting as I could and figured it was either the IPR or LP oil pump since the LP oil gauge would not move when cranking. I took it to another diesel mechanic who hooked it up to a computer and said 3 cylinders were low on compression and that was the problem. I asked if he pulled glow plugs to test compression, he said no. I questioned this... I figured he was full of **** but the motor probably was fubar anyways.
So, I sold this truck to someone as a loss, with them knowing there was an engine problem. They tried to fix it, refused to pay me for it when they couldn't and I had to repo it. Once I got it back, I found someone who offered to put a new engine in the truck for 5k so I agreed.
The guy put a brand new engine in the truck and it refused to run. They did some troubleshooting and part swapping only to find that the FICM was OK but the PCM was NOT. They replaced the PCM with an equivalent model, I think it was xxx-AGP, one for a manual trans 2004 from a scrap yard. I also had him install an EGR delete kit on the motor, so there is a blockoff plate however the EGR valve is still plugged in so there is no CEL.
The problem now is that the truck runs great when its cold, but when it warms up it starts to stumble and runs like crap. Once it cools off again, it runs fine. Any ideas? I'm thinking it has to be a sensor of some sort... I'm kind of pissed I dumped a new motor into this truck and it turned out to be an electronic problem the previous mechanic i paid failed to diagnose. I hate to keep sinking money into this thing, but now I'm obligated to at least get it running.
Any help is appreciated... I'm really starting to hate these 6.0's.

|Alanis Morissette singles chronology
"Hand in my Pocket" is a rock[2] song by Canadian recording artist and songwriter Alanis Morissette, for her third studio album, Jagged Little Pill (1995). The song was written by Morissette and Glen Ballard, and was released as the second single from the album. The song was released on October 31, 1995, nearly five months after the album release. "Hand in My Pocket" received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who applauded Morissette's songwriting. "Hand in My Pocket" also received substantial success through radio airplay in the U.S. The song became Morissette's second number-one hit on Billboard's U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song also went in the top ten in New Zealand and the U.S. An accompanying music video was released for the single, featuring Morissette at a festival, driving her car in black and white form. That received positive reviews as well.
Background and musical structure[edit]
"Hand In my Pocket" was written by Morissette and Glen Ballard, and was released on October 31, 1995 as the second single from Morissette's third album, Jagged Little Pill (1995). The song is a mainstream rock song. The chorus of "Hand in My Pocket" uses a poetry technique, "rhyme juxtaposition", as its primary lyrical structure, as exemplified by the off-set coupling of the first and second stanzas of each chorus. In the first chorus for example, "fine, fine, fine" is coupled with "a high five", when it should, according to traditional rhyming schemes, be instead set against the "a peace sign" which closes the third chorus, and which is in turn, coupled with a first line ending with the phrase, "a cigarette", which is a clear rhyme with the end of the second chorus: "out just yet". Morissette does not carry the scheme consistently throughout the song (there are, for instance, no rhymes for "hailing a taxicab" or "playing the piano").
Critical reception[edit]
Allmusic had highlighted the song as an album highlight.[3] But for a solo review, they had given the song two-and-a-half stars out of five stars. G-Pop.net had personally said "This is not exactly my favorite track, but if you listen to it enough times, you'll get the meaning and the lyrics can sometimes be fun to play with."[4]
Chart performance[edit]
"Hand in My Pocket" had peaked at number one in her native Canada, becoming Morissette's first number one single. The song also peaked at number one on the U.S. Alternative Songs and number four on the U.S. Pop Songs. The song became successful through North America. The song debuted at number forty-nine in Australia, and peaked at number thirteen, staying there for two consecutive weeks. The song debuted at number thirty-nine in New Zealand, the only country in the top ten outside of America, and peaked at number seven. The song had moderate success in Europe, debuting at number fifty-six in Sweden, and only managed to peak at number forty-five on the charts. It also peaked at number thirty-nine in France, only staying there for five weeks and number eighty-six in the Netherlands for five weeks.
In 2005, Morissette released Jagged Little Pill Acoustic, an acoustic version of Jagged Little Pill. "Hand in My Pocket" was its first U.S. single, and its video premiered in July 2005 (see 2005 in music).[5] It did not manage to chart worldwide as the original.
Music video[edit]
The single's video features Morissette among a homecoming parade in Brooklyn, New York City. It was directed by Mark Kohr and filmed in black-and-white and slow motion.
In popular culture[edit]
"Hand in My Pocket" served as the theme song in the unaired pilot episode of the television show Dawson's Creek, but Morissette decided not to have it used as the theme after the show was picked up.[6] In 2015 was featured in an episode of American television series, Glee, called "Jagged Little Tapestry", covered by Naya Rivera and Heather Morris.

A Resin Kit
Scratchbuilders gets regular inquiries regarding building differences between our kits and injection molded kits. This section provides some insight into building a resin kit; however, there is no substitute for experience. Hopefully this new section will help those who have not tried a resin kit to understand the level of difficulty and modeling enjoyment one might expect.
For our kits the level of detail is only slightly above what is offered in injection molded kits. They do offer an excellent opportunity for super detail modelers to do their stuff on unusual subjects not available elsewhere.
What's the difference between this and an injection molded kit? The biggest differences are the fit, the glue, the weight and the clear parts. I'm sure other differences exist but these are the most prevalent. Here are some tips on how to successfully accomplish these modeling tasks.
Test fit and align each assembly or piece before you glue. This is critical to success. Test fit one piece to the next. Look for slag, or high spots where the parts are touching. Sanding on the inside or end of the part, remove any high spots with sandpaper. Don't sand too much, sand a little and test fit again.
For instance, when matching the wing surfaces together sand any high spots off the internal supporting structure of the wing, not by thinning the upper surface. Match the trailing edge of the wings by thinning the wing surfaces on the inside. Don't sand too much, sand a little and test fit again.
Create sub-assemblies to reduce the possibility of changes causing fit problems. For instance, fit the main wing as a unit, the fuselage as a unit, the tail as a unit. You don't want the addition of cockpit parts to widen the fuselage and cause a fit issue with the upper wing, especially after the wing is glued together.
What you want to carefully consider is things like: Matching upper and lower wing halves and not considering the match between the upper wing and fuselage. Matching the tail to the fuselage without considering the fit of the wing to the fuselage.
A two steps forward and one step back approach will assist you. For example, when you get the wing surfaces matched, tape them into place with masking tape and fit the fuselage assembly. When the fuselage is fitted then remove it, take a step back and glue the wing surfaces together. Then tape the fuselage to the wing, align the tail, remove the tail and glue the fuselage. I'm sure you get the idea.
Resin parts can be heated in water and straightened just like injected molded parts. If you don't want to hassle with that our replacement policy will replace any part free of charge.
Every kit is different but the same challenges are faced in all of them. If you are new to resin, the P-40 kit is a great way to start. It's simple, comparatively inexpensive and has a number of challenges to practice these skills. Not only that, it makes a great looking early version P-40.
Clear parts:
On occasion instant glue can be used successfully in very small amounts to tack a canopy in place in three or four places. Then add the white glue mixed with water to finish off the seams.

Customer Question
My 6 month old son has a bubbly personality. He is 6 months old and weighs 25 pounds 29 inches. He is healthy. I have concerns about his facial movement though. His left eye and left lip seem to be not moving properly. When he smiles, his left side of his lip does not rise at all and his left eye does not squint up like the the right eye. It is very obvious. He also can not fully close the left side of his mouth around his bottle while eating, and formula drains out of the left side of his mouth. Should I be worried? Is this something I should see a neurologist for? He has been this was since birth. He also has a flat spot directly on the back of his head the size of my palm, since birth. The pediatrician had a c spinal X-ray done that showed his spine is perfect. Should I still have concerns since he is not progressing?

Dr. Arun Phophalia
replied 3 years ago.
I am sorry that your question was unanswered for long. The spinal x-ray would not show anything. He needs a neurologist examination and may be an MRI of the brain. Since this is not progressing; this may not be serious issue, but still warrants an examination by a specialist.
Please feel free for your follow up questions.
I would be happy to assist you further, if you need any more information.

A few more questions I'm sorry. I have been researching because his ped says he is no need of specialist and he has "tortacollis" and this is why his face is doing what it is. As a mother is it in you advice to just continue with physical therapy, or since the lip and eye are "lazy" continue to ask for a specialist? Could his lip not moving when smiling be a sign of other things? Or a flat spot on his head? He also "chokes" quite frequently while sleeping I eating. Is there something that other than tortocollis that could be to blame for this?
Dr. Arun Phophalia
replied 3 years ago.
Hello Paige,
Even a torticollis would require an examination by a specialist pediatric neurologist. You may meanwhile continue the physical therapy. I do not anticipate any significant issue by lip not moving and smile issue. An MRI of the brain may show some mild neurological issue which can be related to the cranial nerves (which supply the face and neck muscles). The scalp depression is not likely to be anything worrying and would resolve (seems to be fontanelle).
It is privilege assisting you.

The beginning of 2011 marks five years since James Hansen
announced to the world that we have "
at most ten years" to tackle rising growth rates of carbon
dioxide. Later in 2006 he
wrote that we have
"not ten years to decide upon action, but ten years to alter
fundamentally the trajectory of global greenhouse emissions."
Five years later, there are few signs that the world is prepared
to respond. Global emissions reached an all-time high in 2008,
falling only marginally in 2009 as a result of the economic
So how optimistic is Hansen now? Contacted by Carbon Brief,
Hansen sticks by his statement, labelling his choice of decade as
"prescient". His more recent research shows that
"…if emissions continue going up another 10 years, from now, there
is no way to avoid calamities, except perhaps via extreme
geo-engineering actions which [are] implausible and highly
Hansen's 2006 prediction was largely based on the need to avoid
a tipping point where loss of Arctic sea ice becomes
His argument is that the most effective way to predict the
future is to look to past periods in the earth's history. The last
time the earth was
five degrees warmer (fifty million years ago), global sea level
was eighty feet higher; when global temperatures were two degrees
higher, sea level was up to sixteen feet higher. That's not to say
that these are inevitable or immediate consequences of shifting
temperatures, but it does show us how sensitive our planet has been
to temperature shifts in the past.
Dr Hansen, a physicist, is the head of the NASA Goddard
Institute for Space Studies in New York City. Famous for his testimony to
Congress in 1998, he is also known for making strong statements
about the future impacts of climate change, going so far as to
being arrested on protests against 'mountaintop removal' opencast
coal mining in the US.
Not all scientists agree with Hansen that we are on the verge of
reaching "tipping points" which will trigger irreversible change.
Similar 'backcasting' of the climate, however, is also highlighted
by a
study published in Science last week (and summarised by the
Climate Progress), which looks back into geological history for
clues about how the climate behaves.
The study demonstrates that if carbon dioxide levels keep
rising, they could reach 1,000ppmv by the end of the century
(around four times the level prior to the industrial revolution).
At times in geological history, levels of carbon dioxide this high
have been associated with temperatures 15 degrees C higher than at
present, as feedback processes are triggered by rising
temperatures, leading to the release of even more carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere. At these temperatures, the authors
"human civilization will face another world, one that the human
species has never experienced in its history"
The idea of "tipping points" is compelling but surrounded by
scientific uncertainties. As
Richard Black highlights in a recent blog, however, these kind
of analyses do help frame our understanding of the risks the world
When reputable evidence indicates that this level of change is
possible, should that have an impact on the world's current
response to rapidly rising emissions?
Hansen says his most recent research shows:
"that prior warmer interglacial periods were only several tenths
of a degree warmer than the Holocene. The relatively stable
climate of the Holocene, with its unusually stable sea level, was
at a brink such that several tenths of a degree warming would push
polar regions into dramatic climate change with global
repercussions. We are on the verge of setting off irreversible
The debates will continue in climate science as more work is
done and more evidence unearthed. Even without this evidence,
however, the IPCC has already called for global emissions to
reverse their trajectory from growth to rapid decrease by 2015.
Whatever their point of view, few scientists would disagree that
the risks we face if we do not act quickly are very real.

This time, however, it's not a royal in the buff, but Nicole Kidman. And she's not quite naked — but Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele has styled her in a Chanel garment that definitely lies somewhere in the middle of the belt-miniskirt spectrum.
The 45-year-old Australian was photographed by Mario Testino for the fold-down cover of V's Fall 2012 Travel issue, which, if you recall, we exclusively predicted back in June. And while you're already undoubtedly picking up the issue for the Choupette spread alone, you should still read ahead for more info as to what's inside.
Kidman's accompanying editorial features the actress with similarly mussed-up hair and smudged eye makeup, wearing ensembles by Miu Miu, Tom Ford, and more. The uncharacteristically unkempt look is tied to her role in Lee Daniels' Paperboy, in which she stars alongside Zac Efron as the wild, sexually agressive Charlotte. Alas, despite his proven modeling prowess, Efron himself doesn't make an appearance, however he does earn a mention regarding a much buzzed-about scene which involves him being peed on by Kidman:
"The peeing thing, I didn't think was that weird, because I was in character. That was for the jellyfish. And for me it said so much about Charlotte. One, she's protecting him. Two, she's tough as nails and no one else is going to pee on this guy. All of that made total sense to me. I just went for it and didn't overthink it."
The interview also touches on her friendship with controversial director Lars Von Trier, marriage to Keith Urban, and 2001 split from Tom Cruise. And although the mag doesn't hit newsstands until August 30th, you can check out the Testino-lensed images and behind-the-scenes video below:

EA, one of the biggest games publishers in the world, has just criticized movie-based games, and said that it's better for companies to make their own intellectual properties, than release titles based on other ones, like James Bond or Jason Bourne.
EA is definitely in a new position this time, as a few years ago, it held lots of interesting game rights to movie franchises, but got rid of them one by one.
According to the president of the EA Games label, Frank Gibeau, it's time to eliminate movie-based games and replace them with new and original intellectual properties.
"If you want to make a hit, you have to give a game time to get to quality," the executive revealed. "The days of licensed-based, 75-rated games copies are dead like the dinosaur."
The EA executive then talked about the James Bond license, which is now owned by Activision, who has just released two new games with it, Blood Stone 007 and GoldenEye 007.
"We dumped that license because we felt like we needed to own more intellectual property, and we don't like where James Bond is going with all the creative limitations on it.
"Considering the total amount of money we have to spend on those types of James Bond games, and the total amount of man-hours we had to put into them, we thought; hell, let's work on our own IP."
He added: "The guys who made James Bond games for us, well yeah, they went on and made Dead Space. And look where we are now; what would you rather publish, retail and play - the latest James Bond or Dead Space 2?"
Gibeau does make a point, as Visceral Games, formerly known as EA Redwood Shores, released the critically acclaimed Dead Space after grinding its teeth on low-key titles based on movie franchises like James Bond or The Godfather.
What do you think? Is EA right in proclaiming the end of licensed games or should they keep on appearing, in an effort to please fans of the license.

What to Expect from Internet-Enabled Televisions
I recently had the opportunity to attend the launch party for Sony's new Internet TV (pictures are available on the TechThrob Facebook Page), which is powered by the Google Android operating system. While I was originally skeptical about the usefulness of an internet-enabled TV, being able to see and use the device convinced me that we're about to see a radical shift in the way people use television.
While the Sony Internet TV is pretty cool right now, we're still only in the first generation of the device. It's clear that there's a lot of unlocked potential here, and that there are revenue streams down the road which Google and content providers are going to be quick to grab. Here are some things you should expect to see coming to internet-enabled televisions in the near future:
- Extremely targeted advertizing
- Games via the marketplace
- Rampant piracy from rooted devices
- Immersively Interactive Television
Let's get the obvious out of the way first: there's nothing stopping Google from knowing that you're watching the fashion channel, and serving you up an advertisement for the exact dress or suit that's being modeled on the screen at that moment. When you're watching a sporting event, you should expect that you'll start seeing ads for your favorite team's merchandise. Or, if you're watching the food network, you might get a adwords-style link saying "click here for more recipes." This doesn't exist yet, but I have to imagine it will soon.
Having an internet-connected, interactive television is one step toward doing away with the conventional shotgun approach of 15/30/60 second one-size-fits-all commercials, which has been the television advertising model for decades. There's a reason that Google is entering this market place – it's to serve you up extremely targeted ads, and to make money off those clicks and purchases.
A Sony representitive I spoke to said that the Android Marketplace is scheduled to go live for the Sony Internet TV some time in 2011. When that happens, the TV will instantly become its own video game console. Since these televisions come with USB ports, it isn't much of a stretch to get a video game controller working (right now it supports a regular keyboard and mouse).
While I don't think this poses any threat to the existing high-end console market, it certainly presents a great opportunity for developers. Until now, the television has been a popular gaming platform, but the cost of entry was too high to develop for the Xbox or PlayStation. Now that the television runs Android, it's an entirely different ballgame.
It's just a matter of time before people start rooting these devices. Once that happens, it opens up the possibility of installing a bittorrent (or another p2p network) client directly on your television. Since the program is running on the TV itself, and because it can integrate with the Android operating system, it should be possible to make pirated media as easy to access as legally-obtained content.
One has to assume that this was considered by Sony, since they provide both the platform (the television) and the content. Perhaps it was decided that piracy is an inevitable factor that will have to be dealt with, and that they could not afford to delay their entry into the market. However, the cable companies and content providers, as the party with the most to lose, might not be so eager to take the jump (Indeed, this seems to be the case, as several major broadcast companies have blacklisted Google TV.)
The past few years have seen a proliferation of mildly-interactive TV. Whether it's a sports game asking you to go to a website to cast a vote for player of the game, or American Idol letting you text a vote for your favorite singer, television is aiming to captivate their audience through interactivity. An interactive audience is an engaged audience, and an engaged audience is a reliable consumer that will come back next week.
Having an internet-connected television means that you can cast a vote for favorite singer or baseball player, directly from the TV. But it also means much more. Imagine the possibilities for off track betting or other gambling services – you don't have to go to the race track anymore, when you can enter your credit card information directly to your TV. Game shows could bring the audience directly into the hot seat, and a show like Fear Factor could have the viewers pick what kind of torture to force on contestants next. The real interesting things, of course, will be the content that is created specifically for this new interactive medium, not the current shows that will be modified to use the new technology.
There's likely many more changes that internet-enabled television will bring about; these are only some of the obvious items I'd expect to see in the very near future. It'll be interesting to see whether the media companies embrace this new technology, or follow their ways of the past of resisting the shift in consumer interest until it becomes obvious that there's no choice but to accept it.
What do you think? How might an internet TV affect the way you watch and interact with media? Do you have any plans on buying an internet-enabled television, or are you going to wait until the technology is more developed? Leave your responses and opinions in the comment section below!

Father Shot By Son During Nail-Studded Baseball Bat Attack In Fremont
FREMONT (CBS/AP) — Investigators say a Fremont father attacking his adult son with a nail-studded baseball bat was shot to death by an older brother.
Fremont police say the shooting death of 48-year-old David Weatherton was a case of self-defense and the older son was released after questioning.
Weatherton was attacking his 25-year-old son last week with a bat studded with nails when his 27-year-old son intervened.
When Weatherton turned to attack his older son, police say the father was shot in the chest and killed.
The younger son wasn't seriously hurt.
Investigators haven't disclosed the reason for the baseball bat attack.

South Korean Adventist university president to give La Sierra commencement address
La Sierra University's 367 graduates will hear an inspirational commencement message Sun., June 15 from the president of Sahmyook University in South Korea, one of the largest universities in the Seventh-day Adventist denomination.
Graduation will begin at 8 a.m. on La Sierra University Founders' Green and will include an address titled "Why Not Challenge the Full Marathon of Your Life?" by Sahmyook's President Sang Lae Kim.
La Sierra University, with approximately 2,500 students, is a Seventh-day Adventist institution. The Adventist worldwide denomination consists of nearly 18 million members and operates one of the largest Christian school systems in the world. Adventist Church-run Sahmyook University in Metropolitan Seoul, South Korea, has more than 5,700 students, making it one of the top five universities in the denomination by enrollment.
Kim earned degrees at Sahmyook University as well as a doctorate in Old Testament studies and Jewish literature at the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom. In 2000 he received a full scholarship from the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals of the Universities of the United Kingdom, an advocacy organization now called Universities UK.
Sahmyook and La Sierra share a three-part agreement that includes guaranteed scholarships for qualified students transferring to La Sierra from Sahmyook, and for La Sierra students transferring to Sahmyook. The agreement also provides a significant discount for Sahmyook students participating in a program that requires outstanding academic ability along with a good command of the English language.
"The collaboration between Sahmyook and La Sierra signifies the depth of the long-standing relationship between the institutions," said Dave Lofthouse, La Sierra's vice president of Enrollment Services. "Sahmyook students make a wonderful contribution to our community as they are eager to learn and to contribute to the vast cultural landscape of the La Sierra campus."
Commencement will also include the presentation of awards to those whose contributions and achievements have proven exemplary. Corona resident Audrey Shaffer, a long-time volunteer with La Sierra's archaeology program and a consultant to international health care organizations around the world will receive this year's Doctor of Humanitarian Service honorary degree.
Shaffer, a registered health information administrator, attended La Sierra for two years before receiving a bachelor's degree in health information in 1973 from Loma Linda University. Her extensive background includes serving as an assistant clinical professor in health information management at Loma Linda as well as an international health care organization consultant and volunteer in at least 14 countries. She also established the Audrey Shaffer Scholarship Endowment to help cover students' travel expenses to international sites for clinical training.
In addition, she has participated in 30 seasons of archaeological research in Jordan, Israel and elsewhere. These included six trips to the La Sierra University excavations at Tall al-'Umayri near Amman, Jordan where she served as square supervisor, data control officer and pottery registrar. At La Sierra's Center for Near Eastern Archaeology Shaffer's current weekly tasks in the collections lab include cataloging thousands of objects dating from 3,000 B.C.
La Sierra's commencement will cap a weekend of activities that begins Fri., June 13 with a consecration service at 8 p.m. A noon baccalaureate service on Sat., June 14 at the La Sierra University Church will feature guest speaker Hyveth Williams, professor of homiletics at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University in Michigan. La Sierra's School of Education and H.M.S. Richards Divinity School will hold dedication ceremonies for their graduates in the afternoon followed by a Commencement Concert at 6 p.m. in La Sierra's Hole Memorial Auditorium.
For further information visit http://lasierra.edu/graduation/. Friday's consecration service, the Saturday morning baccalaureate and Sunday's commencement will be live streamed at http://www.lasierra.edu/watchlive/.
