The Indian River High School softball team, pink, played Sacret Heart High School (N.J.) in a play day at the Pyle Center Fields near Dagsboro.
- Filed Under
After failing to reach the DIAA state tournament in each of the past three seasons, Indian River softball coach Chris Megee is confident his 2013 squad has enough talent, leadership and experience to break the trend.
The Indians last reached the post-season in 2009, when the team went 14-6 and lost in the second round of the tournament.
Megee believes his team is capable of reaching similar heights - and possibly more - if the team can remain healthy and play beyond its years. ...

Survey marks AT&T as worst for dropped calls
updated 05:15 pm EDT, Wed May 5, 2010
Verizon tops list for stable connections
In spite of ongoing network upgrades, dropped calls are only getting worse on AT&T's cellular network, a study by ChangeWave claims. Having polled 4,040 North Americans in March, the research group says that an average of 4.5 percent of calls made within the previous 90 days were dropped. The figure is noted to be AT&T's worst ever in terms of ChangeWave results.
Drops have been steadily increasing for the carrier since March of 2009, when the average was 3.3 percent. Customer satisfaction is accordingly low, with just 23 percent saying this March that they were "very satisfied" with AT&T service. The cause of drops is not identified in the survey, but is likely associated with the sheer demand of iPhone traffic, which can overload celltowers in areas like New York City and San Francisco.
By contrast, Verizon has recorded the lowest number of drops in its history, scoring an average of 1.5 percent. It also has the highest satisfaction rating of any national carrier, with 49 percent of subscribers saying they were very satisfied. The carrier is followed by Sprint at 35 percent satisfaction, and a 2.4 percent drop average. T-Mobile is on par with AT&T for satisfaction, but better in terms of drops, showing only 2.8 percent.

I've searched quite a lot without finding a solution.
I have a wordpress blog in
/_wp and something else in
What I'm trying to is that every request gets redirected to the WordPress. Except those to
/other and its child directories. I also want the access to the blog to be rewritten. Few examples to make it clear:
/ --> /_wp/
/ablogpost --> /_wp/ablogpost
/other --> /other
/other/bingou --> /other/bingou
I've tried a few things but what seems the most logical to me is:
don't touch the .htaccess of /_wp/ and of /other/
edit the .htaccess of the root '/' by adding:
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mywebsite.com$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/other|/other/.*)$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ /_wp/$1
If you could tell me what is wrong there it would be great!
After changing the index the subfolders were still not working here was my .htaccess back then:
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
AuthName site.com
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
In the end it was a host problem thanks for your help though! Your answer works just well

hi ho Silver, The Lone Ranger rides on....
Since the other thread is being cruelly ignored, here's a fresh one that may be more to your tastes.
The Lone Ranger
is being made.
Depp did take a salary cut to get it going.
According to Variety, part of the savings came from cut CGI sequences, but much of the money came from 20% salary cuts agreed to by Depp, director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
And it's going to be done his way, not unsurprisingly:
For Depp, the film meant enough to him that he was willing to take the cut, as he often does with his passion projects. As he's often said, he wants to recalibrate the relationship between the title character -- to be played by Armie Hammer -- and Tonto, his traditional Native American sidekick, whom he will portray.
"I like the character. I think I have interesting plans for the character, and I think the film itself could be entertaining and very funny," he
recently told MTV
. "But also I like the idea of having the opportunity to make fun of the idea of the Indian as a sidekick -- which has always been [the case] throughout the history of Hollywood, the Native American has always been a second-class, third-class, fourth-class citizen, and I don't see Tonto that way at all. So it's an opportunity for me to salute Native Americans."
That approach seems necessary anway, given the age difference - Depp is old enough to be Hammer's father. The plausible way to do this is for The Lone Ranger to be Luke to Tonto's Obi-Wan, a greenhorn who could get himself in trouble if not for his more experienced mentor. If that's what they have in mind, it's an interesting way to revitalize the story and I'm looking forward to it.

Q&A With AMC's THE WALKING DEAD Michael Cudlitz
AMC has released and interview with actor Michael Cudlitz who portrays Sgt. Abraham Ford in the acclaimed tv show THE WALKING DEAD.
Abraham, Eugene and Rosita were fully introduced in last weeks's episode and fans around the globe were pretty happy with the casting of such characters. You can read our review of last week's episode "CLAIMED" by clicking HERE
Here is an excerpt of the interview that AMC has released:
Q&A – Michael Cudlitz (Abraham Ford)
Michael Cudlitz, who plays Sgt. Abraham Ford on AMC's The Walking Dead, talks about his apocalyptic skills (or lack thereof) and trying to stack up to a buff comic book character.
Q: How did you end up on The Walking Dead? Were you a fan of the zombie genre before?
A: I grew up watching B horror movies and loved them. I was a huge fan of the Dawn of the Dead stuff and all that. The TV stuff, when it's done well, can be fantastic. And when it's not done well, it's probably some of the [worst] television you'd ever want to watch. People try to grab onto the genre, but it's always about the storytelling in anything that you're doing.
Q: It was announced that you would be on the show long before you appeared in an episode. How intense was the fan pressure to reveal things about Abraham?
A: They always ask. Everyone wants to know when you're coming on. And I don't think they realize that half the time they're asking, that's potentially a spoiler. They just get excited like, "When are you coming, when can we see you?" And it's like, "Soon." I haven't told them anything. Hang in there, be patient, watch.
Q: You play a tough guy determined to see his mission through on the The Walking Dead. Are you like that at all in real life?
A: My wife would tell you, no. As Jessica Rabbit says, "I'm just drawn that way."

November 25, 2015
(July 5, 2010)--Public support for the use of red light cameras in Texas and across the country appears to be waning even as Waco prepares to install the cameras.
The Dallas Morning News reported Monday that three states banned red light cameras last year while six others have considered similar proposals.
In Texas, voters forced College Station to take down its cameras last fall while opponents in Houston say they have enough petition signatures to put the cameras to a vote this fall.
Killeen's red light cameras went online in 2008 and the city started issuing citations at the end of May that year.
Cameras were installed at Central Texas Expressway and Stan Schlueter Loop Central Texas Expressway and W.S. Young Central Texas Expressway and Trimmier Central Texas Expressway and 195 Trimmier and Lowes Blvd.
The Waco City Council voted in February 2009 in favor of a city ordinance that would allow the installation of the cameras to photograph red-light runners, who would then be billed by mail for the $75 fine, but temporarily delayed plans to wait to see what lawmakers would do.
In May, the Waco City Council gave City Manager Larry Groth the green light to talk with red-light camera vendors.
Camera opponents in the Texas Legislature say they plan again to try to pass a measure phasing out the cameras statewide, but cities using the red camera systems, which capture images, and sometimes video of drivers running red lights, insist they have reduced intersection accidents and saved lives.

I am interested to try machine embroidery, and am curious on what are the projects we can work on an embroidery machine.
I used to sew garments during my younger days, now I mainly sew quilts , pouches, bags and household stuff.
Do you find it very tedious to use the emb machine ? I'd read some feedback on the frequent thread change on a single needle home emb mc, and the wide variety of stabiliser one has to stock up on.
I've done lots of t-shirts, some denim shirts, some towels, a bathrobe, name patches for my dogs' harnesses...you can do much more than that I am sure but I have limited time...I don't mind needing to change thread colors. You do need to keep an eye on your machine while it's running, which can be awhile for larger designs, but I do other sewing or stretch out. It's not a cheap hobby, but it is a very fun hobby.
------Mostly Babylock: Ellegante, Crescendo, Evolution, Ovation. Plus a Sailrite LSZ-1
Quilting. There are many stitching patterns you can download, or create your own.
A co-volunteer was commenting that he wanted his wife to make a small draw string bag for some small tool accessories, but she had no interest. So I made one and embroidered a tool box w/tools on it and he was so happily surprised that he talks about it every time there is a gathering.
The happy little surprises are my favorites.
Of course when I showed it to my husband, I had to make another!
Start with a single needle machine with no smaller than a 5x7 embroidery area. I prefer babylock over Brother only because many of the Brother embroidery only machines use 90 weight bobbin thread which is not so easy to find. The combos use 60 weight, which is easy to find.
I use tear away, cut away, sticky backed and water soluble stabilizers bought when I find them on sale. Same for the threads in colors I know I will be using.
Other must haves are Titanium coated needles for any adhesive stabilizers. This type of needle does not heat up like a regular needle, causing the adhesive to melt, the thread to jam and break. And basic software for editing and viewing downloaded design files.
The only other accessories I have added are a thread stand, magna hoops (optional - not everyone cares for them).
Sometimes a dealer will have a special where many of these items will be included. If not, ask.

------"Improvise, adapt and overcome." - Clint Eastwood/Heartbreak Ridge
"Isn�t it a shame in today�s world you can�t tell the truth. If you tell the truth you�re abrasive. If you lie you�re charming." - Bob Huggins/College Basketball Coach
What you do with one is completely up to you.. the sky is really the limit. Some people embroider on blanks (shirts, etc) and others are more focused on the creative process and thinking of ways to use their machine that isn't as mainstream. I am currently working on blocks for an applique quilt (a modified version of Hooterville for my niece). I can do many more blocks quickly with my machine than I would have the patience to do by hand - the only time consuming part is cutting out the applique parts and turning under the seam allowances. Having digitized the pattern all I do is prep the applique pieces and stick them down where they are needed - I can line them up perfectly and the machine does a better job than I could stitching them down.
Personally I haven't found that a "wide variety" of stabilizers is really necessary. I bought a bunch of pre-cut tear away sheets that I primarily use under cheap cotton for testing out designs I'm working on, but for real world use I hate how stiff even lightweight tearaway stabilizer makes the final product after it's torn away. So 99% of the time I use Sulky's Sticky Fabri-Solvy as my main stabilizer for almost everything - because it disappears (before that I used regular Sulky Sticky tear away stabilizer a lot because it is easier to use than hooping a lot of the stuff I embroider on). The only exception is if I am trying to embroider a super stretchy knit, in which case I'll usually slip a sheet of regular solvy underneath since it's stiffer and will keep the fabric from stretching as the machine moves. If I have a need to have some kind of backing on my embroidery (like on shirts or anything against the skin) I use Sulky's Tender Touch after I've washed away the solvy.
In my experience with designs that were digitized well extensive stabilizing isn't usually necessary. A design that is going to seriously warp my fabric as it's stitching probably isn't one I'll be happy with in the end anyways... it means it likely has some kind of structural flaw (stitches too dense) or my machine's tension is way out of whack.
Thread changes really aren't that bothersome for most designs - it gets a little tiring when you have to change thread for a small portion of the pattern and then immediately change it again, especially if that happens several times in a short span, but when you get at least a few minutes between colors it's not a big deal - as others have said you'll be watching it anyways.
Thread is one of the more expensive components required - mostly because the initial investment can be expensive if you want a lot of colors to start with. Cheap thread is often not worth the frustration - stick with name brands.
I second the suggestion of titanium needles - they work really well, but I'd also suggest keeping some metallic needles on hand since they have a larger eye and often work with thread that shreds in normal needles (sometimes simply because of where it is in a design, the friction of going through other embroidery can damage the thread, having a larger eye on the needle gives the thread more wiggle room so it won't break).
I'd suggest getting a second hoop of the siz you use the most - if you are embroidering multiple items it makes it easier to "keep working" since you're not taking time out to set up your next piece in between stitching, you can get it ready in advance and when one project is done, the next is already hooped and ready to go.
I love to sew little surprises for my friends and family too. The smile on their face when they receive the hand made items are well worth my time and effort ,
I like the idea of getting a second hoop, it will be convenient for getting a second emb project ready in advance while 'baby sitting' the machine emb.
If you are new to embroidery then I think the most important thing you can do is to buy a machine from a dealer who will give you lessons with your machine. It is very very simple to actually stitch out embroidery. But learning about how to hoop, which stabilizer and needle to use with different fabrics and how to place designs and get them straight will be what you need to learn.
You can learn a lot online, but there is no substitute for getting hands on learning when you buy a machine.

Virgin Mobile to acquire Helio and dissolve brand
updated 01:20 am EDT, Wed June 25, 2008
Virgin Mobile wants Helios
Last reported in May, Virgin Mobile USA is set to absorb SK Telecom-owned Helio in a deal said to approach the former paying the Korean telecommunications firm almost $50 million, leaving SK holding 20-percent of company holdings. The Financial Times writes that the MVNO will dissolve its identity in favor of the more recognizable Virgin Mobile brand, and integrate its 200,000 users into Virgin's customer base of 5.1 million mobile users.
The move comes in response to both companies experiencing an ailing market: shares of Virgin plummeted 75-percent since first listing in October 2007, while Helio faced challenges growing its network size after launching in 2006.
The combination of the two carriers is expected to be quite profitable for both, in spite of the relatively small size of both carriers when contrasted against the four main US cell providers.
Virgin recently posted its financial information for the first quarter of 2008, posting $4.8 million net income - 75-percent down from the year ago quarter - and expects to lose between 130,000 to 160,000 subscribers.

In the Lower Bay, NYS Environmental Conservation police confer with NYPD.
Motor Lifeboat 47264 . . . was delivered from this Louisiana shipyard in late July 2000, and
looks brand new.
This Buffalo district survey vessel is barely half year old, and named for
a surveyor with a long career of service all over the watery parts of the globe.
This 45′ response boat medium was delivered to Oswego this year.
Sylvan Beach air boat.
Tappan Zee V . . . I know no more about this vessel–a retired US boat ??–than I did last time I had a photo of her.
Here Oswego Marine One trains in the Oswego River.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
Here's a followup on the Rockaway sand pumping, and there's gold in those sands, over $36 million worth. Notice the dredging/pumping vessel upper right.
This was the fountain this morning.
Once the slurry exits the mouth, water flows back into the ocean and sand is pushed up the beach.
This repurposed container is project headquarters.
The top foto comes thanks to Barbara Barnard; all others by Will Van Dorp.
You know the colors and organization, but can you name the vessel? And as to the organization, do you know all the foreign countries where they operate? I didn't.
Anyhow, all these fotos come from Oregon compliments of Michael Bogoger of Doryman fame. Actual photographer is Jamie Orr of Bristol Channel cutter Baggywrinkle, returning from sea.
The vessel is USACE dredge Yaquina, here at the entrance to its namesake river.
Michael's searched tirelessly for this dredge ever since last October, when I posted these fotos of McFarland. That post also generated this impressive list of USACE vessels from the esteemed Harold Tartell . . . a veritable encyclopedia of USACE newbuilds from 1855 until 2012 . . . including the 1981 Yaquina.
Previously, the latest dredge in a distant location I've been looking at was Xin Hai Liu, in Rio.
For these fotos, many thanks to Michael and Jamie.
Small craft to come, but first . . . the missing foto from yesterday's post . . . how DID the heaving line get through the eye aka "closed chock"? Hope this foto helps; I do believe I see the monkeyfist flying upward from the crewman at the rail; crew on the upper level passed it to the crewman forward of the chock?
It's been over two years since I've used this title. Small craft come in many shapes,
are operated by professional mariners,
respond to emergencies with versatility,
and shuttle specialists between shore and much larger craft.
This one I first thought was transporting booms but now I think had some festive mission, given what appears to be a sizable bouquet over the engine compartment.
They operate for many agencies,
commercial entities,
government services, and
and law enforcement groups.
They work in diverse
weather, all
year round.
Enjoy a few more:

This is NOT at all a government boat, but I snapped this a few weeks ago. Upon further examination, I'm wondering about the barge and . . . is that a portside offset upper house?
Last shot . . again, no government boat is this, but exactly a year ago today, Papillon came ashore . . . prompting many hours of visitation of government employees . . . if not boats. Here and here are two of my posts; go back to the April 201 archives for many more. Ironically, I have never been able to find out what became of the vessel.
Happy April! Again thanks to Kyran for his Lake Michigan foto. All others by Will Van Dorp.
Fotos here were taken last Friday, much colder than today.
Conflicting jurisdictions? It felt so cold along the water the other day that I totally understand a chase for no other reason than . . . to speed up blood flow and heat, not that I'm saying this is happening here. By the way, in blue, it's Launch #4, the 55′ 1994-launched Kenny Hansen. In yellow, it's the 1980 Arkansas-built 85′ Gelberman, named for Jack Gelberman, who was chief of operations of NYC-area USACE until 1973.
I move from "office" to "office" too, simulating chase maybe, staying warm. And I track down Zachery Reinauer and the great Herbert P Brake.
A quick dash further east, I catch Sassafras with DoubleSkin 36 in push gear and Rhea I. Bouchard light, passing on the north side of the KVK, Bow Architect and LaFarge barge Adelaide.
Still not quite out of breath, I spot Cape Cod spritzing past Theo T.
Moving again . . . jogging to keep warm . . . I espy (l. to r.) the bow of Bow Architect, a light Norwegian Sea, an approaching Conrad S, and (possibly) Davis Sea.
Three things about Conrad S give me pause for reflection: the last name initial, the seriously tubular bow deck (not sure that's the technical term), and the containerized tanks belonging to R. M. I. Food Logistics. Here's what I found. So . . . alcohol, oils, syrups . . .. ?
It seems my day for single-letter last names, as in Gunes K, which
enjoys a bridge with big glass for perspicacious watch-keepers.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, who really needs to rest in the shade of a palm tree for awhile listening to sweet music and honeyed conversation.

Three Dimensional Conduction During Atrial Fibrillation (a modeling approach)
Ali Gharaviri
Several mechanisms have been suggested to explain the increasing stability of atrial fibrillation (AF) over time. Disruption of electrical coupling between muscle bundles, resulting in narrower and thus more fibrillation waves, is considered as one of the main mechanisms contributing to AF stability in structurally remodeled atria. Also, the anatomy of the atrial ...

|Biological rhythms in the human life cycle and their relationship to functional changes in the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8990925 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Biological rhythms play a prominent role in the human life cycle. The endogenous rhythms are entrained by the environment and have an astronomical counterpart which is obvious for daily, monthly, and yearly rhythms, and may possibly also be present in weekly rhythms. Circadian rhythms are present in, e.g. testosterone levels, spontaneous birth, strokes, and death from cardiovascular causes. Circaseptan rhythms are present in, e.g. spontaneous birth, 17-ketosteroid levels, myocardial infarctions, and strokes. The relationship of these rhythms with the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) has not yet been established. Circatrigintan rhythms, such as the menstrual cycle, have so far not been associated with the SCN. Circannual rhythms are present in, e.g. mood, suicides, reproduction, birth weight, sleep and season of birth of psychiatric patients. The human SCN shows strong circadian and circannual fluctuations in the number of neurons expressing vasopressin. The vasopressin and VIP cell population of the SCN develop late, i.e. for a major part postnatally. After the age of 50 the amplitudes of circadian and circannual fluctuations of the vasopressin cell numbers are reduced whereas the number of vasopressin expressing neurons decreases after the age of 80 and do so even more and earlier in Alzheimer's disease. Sex differences are present in the shape of the vasopressin subnucleus of the SCN and in the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) cell number. The sex differences in the SCN, the doubling of the number of vasopressin neurons in the SCN of homosexual men, and a variety of animal experimental observations indicate that the SCN is involved in sexual behavior and reproduction. The exact role of the SCN in these processes is subject to current research.

Election Fraud or Strategic Voting? Can Second-digit Tests Tell the Difference?
Mebane, Walter
election fraud
strategic voting
Benford's Law
American elections
state House
state Senate
I simulate a mixture process that generates individual preferences that, when aggregated into precincts, have counts whose second significant digits approximately satisfy Benford's Law. By deriving sincere, strategic, gerrymandered and coerced votes from these preferences under a plurality voting rule, I find that tests based on the second digits of the precinct counts are sensitive to differences in how the counts are derived. The tests can sometimes distinguish coercion from strategic voting and gerrymanders. The tests may be able to distinguish strategic voting according to a party balancing logic from strategic voting due purely to wasted-vote logic, and strategic from nonstrategic voting. These simulation findings are supported by data from federal and state elections in the United States during the 1980s and 2000s.
Inferring Strategic Voting
Kawai, Kei
Watanabe, Yasutora
Strategic Voting
Set Estimation
Partial Identification
We estimate a model of strategic voting and quantify the impact it has on election outcomes. Because the model exhibits multiplicity of outcomes, we adopt a set estimator. Using Japanese general-election data, we find a large fraction [75.3%, 80.3%] of strategic voters, only a small fraction [2.4%, 5.5%] of whom voted for a candidate other than the one they most preferred (misaligned voting). Existing empirical literature has not distinguished between the two, estimating misaligned voting instead of strategic voting. Accordingly, while our estimate of strategic voting is high, our estimate of misaligned voting is comparable to previous studies.
Modeling Electoral Coordination: Voters, Parties and Legislative Lists in Uruguay
Levin, Ines
Katz, Gabriel

strategic voting
During each electoral period, the strategic interaction between voters and political elites determines the number of viable candidates in a district. In this paper, we implement a hierarchical seemingly unrelated regression model to explain electoral coordination at the district level in Uruguay as a function of district magnitude, previous electoral outcomes and electoral regime. Elections in this country are particularly useful to test for institutional effects on the coordination process due to the large variations in district magnitude, to the simultaneity of presidential and legislative races held under different rules, and to the reforms implemented during the period under consideration. We find that district magnitude and electoral history heuristics have substantial effects on the number of competing and voted-for parties and lists. Our modeling approach uncovers important interaction-effects between the demand and supply side of the political market that were often overlooked in previous research.
Tactical Coalition Voting
Morton, Becky
McCuen, Brian
strategic voting
proportional representation
coalition bargaining
Most research on voting in proportional representation electoral systems assumes that voters either choose sincerely for their most preferred parties or strategically if threshold constraints mean their party has little chance of winning a seat. Voters are assumed to ignore possible coalition implications of their choices. However, formal models of coalition formation in PR systems, such as Austen-Smith and Banks (1988), assume voters care about the ultimate coalition formation in the parliament and vote strategically in order to affect that coalition formation process, which we call "tactical coalition voting." In this paper, we experimentally evaluate the extent voters in a PR system engage in tactical coalition voting. We find significant evidence that voters, even those non experienced with PR systems, do choose strategically to affect post election coalitions.
Ticket-Splitting and Strategic Voting in Mixed Electoral Systems
Gschwend, Thomas
Ticket Splitting
Strategic Voting
Mixed Electoral Systems
Multiple Imputation
This work attempts to refocus the discussion about strategic voting from its narrow focus on single-member district systems. It provides several contribution to the literature on strategic voting, ticket-splitting and on electoral systems. My first contribution is to allow the electoral institutions to vary, thereby opening up the possibility to provide different incentives to operate at the same time for the same voter. I offer a theory that particular institutions not only determine the emph{degree} of strategic voting, but also the emph{kind} of strategies voters employ. In mixed electoral systems strategic voting has two facets. Strategic voters employ either a emph{wasted-vote strategy} or a emph{coalition insurance strategy}. My second contribution is to provide evidence that people vary in their emph{proclivity} to vote strategically, as determined by various motivational factors as well as their capability to comprehend the strategic implications that are offered by particular electoral rules. Evidence supporting these contributions is stemming from an appropriate choice-model using individual-level data from the 1998 German National Election Study
Strategic voting in mixed-member electoral systems: The Italian case
Benoit, Kenneth
Laver, Michael
Giannetti, Daniela
strategic voting
ecological inference
The new Italian electoral system has two elements, a plurality element in single member districts and a PR element in larger multimember constituencies. The plurality element provides strong incentives for groups of parties to form pre-electoral coalitions. The PR element offers incentives for parties to contest the elections individually. We can think of two types of voter. The first type, whom we characterize as "strategic," votes for his or her first choice party in the PR election since there is no strategy that can improve on this. In the plurality election, a strategic voter supports the candidate sponsored by the coalition with which his or her first choice party is affiliated, even if this is not from the first choice party. The second type of voter, whom we characterize as "non-strategic," also votes for his or her first choice party in the PR election. In the plurality election, the non-strategic voter will vote for a first choice party if a candidate of this party is on the ballot but, if not, votes unpredictably. In this paper, we model the "strategic" and "non- strategic" elements of the vote flowing to candidates in the plurality element of the election. Using data from the 1996 and 1994 elections on both PR and plurality voting patterns in each single member district, and confining ourselves to districts where there is a run-off between two coalitions, we are able to estimate the relative numbers of strategic and non- strategic voters in each district, and characterize this in terms of a range of strategic variables.
Ticket-splitting and Strategic Voting
Gschwend, Thomas
Ticket Splitting
Strategic voting
Germany EI
Multiple imputation
Germany provides an especially interesting case for the study of strategic voting because a two-ballot system is used. Voters are encouraged to split their votes using different strategies. I disentangle different types of strategic voting that have been mixed in the literature so far: On the first vote there is emph{tactical} voting, and on the second vote there is emph{loan} voting. Therefore, I focus particularly on ticket splitting patterns. The data set I use contains official election results of first and second votes for all German districts from the federal election of 1998. To obtain estimates that determines quantity of straight and split ticket voting between political parties I employ King's EI for a first-stage analysis and use these estimates as independent variables in second-stage models. In order to account for the uncertainty in first-stage EI-point estimates I use a multiple imputation approach. I show that tactical and loan voters secured the representation of FDP and the Greens in the German Parliament. Several validation attempts of the second-stage prediction results prove that not every second-stage analysis based on first stage EI-point estimates is doomed to fail.
Is Ticket Splitting Strategic? Evidence from the 1998 Election in Germany
Gschwend, Thomas
ticket splitting
strategic voting
Germany provides an especially interesting case for the study of strategic voting because they use a two-ballot system on Election Day. Voters are encouraged to split their votes using different strategies. The paper is an example of how much more can be learned if we reconsider and refine our theories. I provide a first step towards a theory of strategic voting and add it to the typical ticket splitting discussion. In order to test more refined hypotheses about ticket splitting and strategic voting I use cross-sectional data from the German National Post Election Study of 1998. Empirically, the results indicate that strategic voters are different from ordinary ticket splitters. Evidence from separate MNP estimation for East and West Germany shows that identifier of the FDP or the Greens are more likely strategic voters as opposed to non-strategic ticket splitters. Non-strategic ticket splitters in East Germany do not feel close to any political party. In West Germany non-strategic ticket splitters have conflicting party preferences. Thus, it proves useful to separate out strategic voters from ordinary ticket splitters in future work.
Analysis of Crossover Voting
Alvarez, R. Michael

strategic voting
ecological inference
exit poll analysis
We undertake the analysis of primary elections from 1980 through 1996 using both academic individual level survey data, media exit-polls, and aggregate election returns on a county by county basis. We come to the following conclusions: 1. there is very little crossover voting in general in United States primaries; 2. the difference in the amount of crossover voting between states with open primaries and closed primaries is not substantively large; 3. thee amount of strategic behavior on the part of voters is extremely small.

strategic voting
We use survey data collected in Ontario and Quebec during the 1993 Canadian federal election to assess the extent to which voters were sensitive to the distribution of positions in special institutions that would possibly be created to handle negotiations between Quebec and the rest of Canada following a referendum on Quebec sovereignty expected after the election. We draw on a theory of coalition-oriented voting developed by Austin-Smith and Banks (1988) to argue that voters' anticipations regarding those institutions contributed to the catastrophic losses suffered by the Progressive Conservative party. We use a method we have developed for estimating discrete, finite-state Markov chain models from ``macro'' data to analyze the dynamics of individual choice probabilities in daily rolling cross-sectional survey data from 1993 Canadian Election Study. We allow each transition matrix to be updated as a function of daily vote support for either the Bloc or Reform to test for reactive coalition-oriented voting. We find significant reactive voting among Quebecois non-sovereigntists. The timing of these reactions depended on the individual's level of political awareness. In contrast, we find no evidence of reactive voting among either Quebecois sovereigntists or Ontario voters.
A New Approach for Modeling Strategic Voting in Multiparty Systems
Alvarez, R. Michael
Nagler, Jonathan
multinomial probit
strategic voting
Whether voters vote strategically, using their vote to best further their interests, or vote sincerely, voting for their first choice among the alternatives, is a question of longstanding interest. We offer two innovations in searching for the answer to this question. First, we begin with a more consistent model of sincere voting in multiparty democratic systems than has been presented in the literature to date. Second, we incorporate new operationalizations of the objective potential for strategic behavior than have been used in the past. We offer a test of strategic voting in the 1987 British General Election based on the varience in strategic setting across constituencies in Britain. Prepared for presentation at the Annual Meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association. This is one of many papers by the authors; the ordering of names reflects alphabetic convention. We thank Jonathan Katz and Guy Whitten for supplying helpful data for this project. We also thank Gary Cox and Jonathan Katz for discussions of this subject. Last, we thank Shaun Bowler for his work with us on a related project.

Voter Transitions, Vote Wasting, and Strategic Behavior
Nunez, Lucas

vote wasting
In this paper I study vote wasting and strategic voting behavior in the Argentine Senate election for the City of Buenos Aires in 2013. I estimate and analyze the voter transition matrix between the primary and general elections using a Bayesian hierarchical model for ecological inference, from a rich data set of ballot-box data. The results show that strategic behavior is not widespread amongst the electorate in Buenos Aires. In particular, at least 75\% of voters who had the opportunity to avoid vote wasting by behaving strategically did not. The results suggest that this electorate might be composed of a mixture of voters with strategic and expressive motivations, where the expressive faction dominates.

July 9 public meeting set regarding King County flood hazard management plan
June 30, 2013
By Staff
NEW — 6 a.m. June 30, 2013
With guidance gathered from a series of public meetings, King County and the King County Flood Control District are moving forward with the update of the floodplain management plan, according to a news release from the district.
The King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks' Water and Land Resources Division, on behalf of the Flood Control District, is updating the management plan, which guides management of regionally significant river and stream flooding to:
– Reduce risks from flood and channel migration hazards.
– Avoid or minimize the environmental impacts of flood hazard management.
– Reduce the long-term costs of flood hazard management.
A public review and comment period will be held from through July 12, and includes one public meeting where interested citizens can ask questions and make comments about the proposed update. The public meeting will be from 6-7:30 p.m. July 9 at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center, 8236 S.E. 24th St.
Draft update documents, including meeting information, can be found here. Email comments to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to Flood Plan Update, King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks, 201 S. Jackson St., Suite 600, Seattle, WA 98104.
Based on feedback from three public meetings held in 2012, the county has revised and is proceeding with the update with two goals in mind:
– Maintain the county's high federal rating for flood preparedness, which results in discounts of up to 40 percent for flood insurance policy holders; and
– Move forward with a separate and more detailed analysis and stakeholder process to identify clear floodplain management goals and alternatives for attaining those goals.
The 2013 Flood Plan Update will maintain the county's rating and insurance discounts. It will provide a progress report to the 2006 flood plan, and update technical information that has emerged since 2006, including updated hazard and risk assessments. The 2013 Flood Plan Update does not contain any new policies.
River corridor management plans for several major river systems will be developed over the next two years. Each of those river management plans will include public review of the desired river management conditions and alternative project approaches before being adopted as an amendment to the King County Flood Hazard Management Plan.
King County and the King County Flood Control District will complete a comprehensive revision to the Flood Hazard Management Plan in 2018, integrating those corridor management plans into a countywide plan for public review.

Lace, cut-outs and color: Our favorite trends from the Emmys red carpet
Hollywood is nothing if not trendy. And when it comes to one of the entertainment industry's biggest nights, the celebs certainly don't disappoint. From bold black and white to sexy bright red gowns, many stars opted for fashion's best fads on the Emmy Awards 2013 red carpet:
Cobalt blue
The flattering Citibike hue has been named Pantone's color for spring 2014, and lovable leading ladies like Tina Fey were all too eager to welcome in the next season. (How great does Fey look, right?)
Black lace
Daring or doilie? Black lace made a reoccurring appearance on the red carpet, with celebrities updating the grandma chic trend in a sleek, sexy manner.
Neck and shoulder accents
Heavy on the hardware: Heidi Klum went all out, but stars like Mayim Bialik highlighted their collarbone area with chic shoulder accents. It's bling that's a little less easy to lose.
This color (obviously) never goes out in style, but it certainly gets a new level of va-va-voom factor when it's worn by someone like Sofia Vergara. Her body can do no wrong.
Black and white
The ladies weren't going to let the men have all the penguin-colored fun. Stars like "Breaking Bad" actress Anna Gunn and Elisabeth Moss of "Mad Men" made it look chic, modern and ladylike.
Less is more in this case, in which gowns cut back on fabric in order to highlight fun geometric cut-outs.

I started exercising after work, but sometimes I would wonder if I had anything left to exercise with. My solution for tiredness and blahs is to eat a snack before I leave work for the exercise session. I try to have it between 3.30 and 4, but sometimes it is later.I find protein is the most sustaining for this. My snack might be some cheese, cottage cheese with a little fruit or a boiled egg, or even a cup of soup.
Exercise Secret: I increase the weight I'm carrying whilst doing some exercise which increases the effort I have to put in, without having to increase the time I spend doing the exercise
Brushing my teeth after eating my dinner sometimes helps preventing me from having a late night snack.
by having a mid morning snak and midday snack I find myself less hungry later, almost like tricking my body

White House Petition to Restore/Preserve and Move the Enterprise Model

I've neither made nor implied a comparison between
Star Trek
and Transformers or any other franchise. Rather, I've addressed the question of criteria by which either franchise, both, or any other should have their artifacts exhibited at the National Air and Space Museum. Whether artifacts of a franchise should be exhibited at the museum is best determined by evaluating the franchise against the mission of the museum, not by comparing franchises against each other.
I don't agree.
TOS occurred, the fact that it was simultaneous with the development of manned spaceflight, makes it important to the history of spaceflight in a way that no later franchise could possibly be. Maybe that's just an accident of history, but it's still part of history. You can't ignore that any more than you can ignore WWII when considering
's role in history.
is going to have a more legitimate place in a museum about WWII than, say,
Raiders of the Lost Ark
is, because the former actually came out
that part of history and was a piece of the overall story of that era. You just can't ignore the respective historical contexts of the different works when considering their relative historical importance.
The main issue I've addressed is: What is the mission of the museum? If—hypothetically—the mission of the museum includes reaching out to people who find that SF franchises besides
Star Trek
resonate better to them
then in that case that's what the mission is.
And in this context, treating ST as just another franchise is overlooking its unique historical significance. Museums are not about pandering to what the audience expects or wants to see; they're about teaching the way things really were. ST's importance to the history of spaceflight is a function of when it came out and how it influenced people at the time. It's not about how people perceive it today. So it's not going to change just because the popularity of the franchise wanes.

Who is everyone's favorite ogre? I'd say Shrek! 3d ogre models like the ones below will certainly make you a shriek if you met them in the dark. But did you know the word ogre is of French origin.
In German, this French word became associated with the characters in German fairy tales who are cannibals (adult-eaters) or specifically child-eaters.
Foreign, especially English-speaking, authors do not realize this, and translation of their works into German has to use some other description to avoid association with cannibalism, which would render the characters incapable of being a figure of fun, or an incidental character type to a fantasy story or game, at all.
Did you know that the ogre inspired J.R.R. Tolkien's Orcs?
Anyway my favorite 3d ogre models at DAZ are ones like: Raw ogre, which is brutish savage classic Ogre. This is a large monstrosity to truly terrorize any fantasy scene.
This set includes male and female Ogres with additional scar and war paint options, to make an entire clan.
Plus, new SSS maps allow these characters to be rendered with an even greater lifelike quality. When you are walking alone in an ogre infested forest don't forget to speak out loud:
Steel peg, ice pick, fire thong, ho!
Sliver the heart of friend or foe!
Blood in the eye-yo!
Ogres one and all!
Creating the perfect scenes with these 3d ogre models is easy using the FREE software DAZ Studio 4. Ogres are mean ugly dangerous and fun! Now you can have all the fun you want with some really cool 3d ogre models. Get Troll, get pig face creatures, get giants, and other assorted green things that go bump in the night.
Because some of them are more than a man, but not quite a monster, they haunt the forests along forgotten trails.
Check out these cool ogres and such:

|Environmental management for the control of Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811), (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Costa Rica: a pilot project.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16951807 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|An ecological control method, using environmental management operations, based on biological and behavioral characteristics of Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811), was implemented as a pilot project in an area of Costa Rica where the bug is prevalent. The sample was represented by 20 houses with peridomestic colonies (two also had indoor infestation), divided in two equivalent groups of 10 each. In one group we intervened the houses, i.e. all objects or materials that were serving as artificial ecotopes for the bugs were removed, and the second group was used as control houses. After a year of periodic follow up, it became evident that in those houses with a modified environment the number of insects had decreased notoriously even after the first visits and this was more evident after a period of 12.5 to 13.5 months in which no insects were detected in eight of the houses. It also became clear that in this group of houses, recolonization by wild bugs from the surrounding areas, became more difficult, probably due to the absence of protection from bug predators. In the control houses, with the exception of three in which the inhabitants decided to intervene on their own, and another house with a peculiar situation, the insect populations remained the same or even showed a tendency to increase, as confirmed at the end of the experiment. We believe that the method is feasible, low costing and non contaminating. It could be used successfully in other places where T. dimidiata is common and also in countries where other species colonize peridomestic areas of homes. Environmental management of this kind should seek the participation of the members of the communities, in order to make it a more permanent control measure.

Community-Engaged Learning
The Community-Engaged Learning Program's top priority is to help students and faculty to integrate service into their academic work.
Our primary focus is the building of partnerships among students, faculty and community agencies in which all parties serve, learn and teach. CEL takes place through a variety of venues at the college. It can be found in many of the courses offered at the college, in much of the research that students undertake, in independent study courses that students design, and/or in senior thesis work.
Faculty across all disciplines engage their students in CEL. All courses include a combination of community-engaged and classroom work. Most offer students options that encourage them to explore individual interests and make interdisciplinary connections.
The Harward Center welcomes conversations with faculty and community partners about ways to integrate community-engaged learning with Bates courses and other types of learning at the college.

I met Andy Sernovitz on my USS Nimitz Trip and I was so impressed with his thoughts on word of mouth marketing. He is truly a WOM expert. This podcast talks about the four most relevant points for WOM: be interesting, make people happy, make it easy and earn trust. Andy talked to me on the show about how he does this for big brands. Find his book on Amazon, or check out his blog: Damn I wish I'd Thought of that.
Forrester Social Marketing Expert Jeremiah Owyang believes that the future of the social web is entering the era of social colonization. Given these insights, Jeremiah offered his perspective on the best strategies marketers have to implement to be successful. Of all the largest corporate brands, Jeremiah believes Dell is doing the best job in social media today. When asked what an average corporation spends on social media today, Jeremiah said the budget was around $100,000.
Recruiting is an industry that needs more edgy marketing. Having worked with some recruiters over the years, I was curious to learn from Hollister about social media techniques they have employed. Meg Toland of Hollister and I spoke about new ideas they are using including Twitter, Facebook and other tools.
I recently met Pam Slim, a successful author and blogger on the USS Nimitz trip in late May 2009. I was so impressed with her ability to speak four languages, juggle two kids and write a successful blog and now a new book that I had to interview her. Her book Escape From Cubicle Nation is gaining momentum and is found in bookstores and on Amazon.com. Check it out. In the meantime, listen to how Pam tells me what she did to launch her new book with social media tools. She especially loves Twitter. Who doesn't these days?

The U.S. government has released a strategy to reduce methane emissions, which comprise nearly nine percent of all the greenhouse gas emitted as a result of human activity in the U.S.
The U.S. government has released a strategy to reduce methane emissions, which comprise nearly nine percent of all the greenhouse gas emitted as a result of human activity in the U.S.
The new strategy builds on progress to date and takes steps to further cut methane emissions from landfills, coal mining, agriculture and oil and gas systems through cost-effective voluntary actions and basic standards.
Methane pollution is projected to increase to a level equivalent to over 620 million tonnes of carbon dioxide pollution in 2030 without additional action to reduce emissions.
Landfills: In the summer of 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will propose updated standards to reduce methane from new landfills and take public comment on whether to update standards for existing landfills.
Coal Mines: In April 2014, the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will release an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to gather public input on the development of a program for the capture and sale, or disposal of waste mine methane on lands leased by the federal government.
Agriculture: In June, in partnership with the dairy industry, the USDA, EPA and DOE will jointly release a "Biogas Roadmap" outlining voluntary strategies to accelerate adoption of methane digesters and other cost-effective technologies to reduce U.S. dairy sector greenhouse gas emissions by 25 per cent by 2020.
Oil and Gas: Building on success in reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector through voluntary programs and targeted regulations, the Administration will take new actions to encourage additional cost-effective reductions. Key steps include:
In the spring of 2014, EPA will assess several potentially significant sources of methane and other emissions from the oil and gas sector. EPA will solicit input from independent experts through a series of technical white papers, and in the fall of 2014, EPA will determine how best to pursue further methane reductions from these sources. If EPA decides to develop additional regulations, it will complete those regulations by the end of 2016.
Later in 2014, the BLM will propose updated standards to reduce venting and flaring from oil and gas production on public lands.
As part of the Quadrennial Energy Review, and through DOE-convened roundtables, the Administration will identify "downstream" methane reduction opportunities. Through the Natural Gas STAR program, EPA will work with the industry to expand voluntary efforts to reduce methane emissions.
Possibly if they shut down the senate and the house of reps, they could meet their methane targets without any further actions…..
