Voting Religiously
President-elect Barack Obama made a concerted effort to reach out to people of faith during the 2008 presidential campaign, and early exit polls show that this outreach may have paid off on Election Day.
How Hispanics Voted in the 2008 Election
Hispanics voted for Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden over Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin by a margin of more than two-to-one according to an analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center of exit polls, with Latino youth supporting the Democratic ticket by an even wider margin.
Among Florida's Hispanics, Voter Registration Swings Democratic
Unlike in the rest of the country, the Latino vote in the Sunshine State has tended to be heavily Republican; but changing politics and demographics have produced a substantial shift in electoral rolls.
Liberal Democrats Top Conservative Republicans in Donations, Activism
With less than two weeks to go before Election Day, voters remain riveted to the presidential campaign. But liberal Democrats are engaging in far more activism than other partisan and ideological groups.
Latinos Overwhelmingly Support Obama and Democrats in 2008
A new Pew Hispanic Center survey finds the presumptive Democratic nominee now has a strong lead among Hispanics, a sharp reversal from the primaries when Obama lost the Latino vote to Hillary Clinton by a nearly two-to-one ratio.
Likely Rise In Voter Turnout Bodes Well For Democrats
Even with a partisan enthusiasm gap, voter interest is already as high as in November of recent elections, two trends that may significantly alter the composition of the eventual electorate in the Democrats' favor. The proportion of swing voters is also up compared with four years ago. Nearly half of independents (47%) are undecided or may change their minds, up from 28% in June 2004.
Oregon: The Vote is in the Mail
The state's election officials' biggest concern in this year's May 20 primary was whether voters would remember that the price of a stamp went up a penny on May 12, just as they began mailing back their ballots.
Hispanics Give Clinton Crucial Wins
Latino voters lopsided support for Hillary Clinton more than accounted for her margin of victory in Texas, California and New Mexico.
Getting It Wrong
Several factors deserve exploration, but one should not ignore the possibility of the longstanding pattern of pre-election polls overstating support for black candidates among white voters, particularly white voters who are poor.
Primary Problems: How Exit Pollsters Plan to Cope with a Super-Crowded Election Season
From holiday distractions to winter weather, the people who will be measuring voters' preferences in primaries and caucuses around the nation will be dealing with unprecedented problems. Here's how they plan to do it.

"The Bunkhouse" Tiritiri Matangi Island Hotel Tip by hunwagner
Tiritiri Matangi Island Hotels: 2 reviews and 2 photos
Accomodation on the island is limited and basic.
In fact it is primarily intended for researchers and volunteers, but despite what travel agents and even tourist information offices in Auckland might tell you, tourists can stay here as well - as long as there are beds left. While advance bookings are necessary, I found that getting in was very easy, and in fact there were vacant beds available right through my 3 nights' stay.
The "Bunkhouse", as it is called, a basic, hostel-style building with shared rooms and a common kitchen which everyone must keep clean.
Chances are you will be the only tourist staying there, but will have more interesting scientists, volunteers and conservation workers for company anyway.
The cost was 20 NZD/night, which is similar to what you'd pay for an average hostel elsewhere in the country!
Price: less than US$20
Theme: Hostel

So, I'm getting more and more engulfed with test driven development these days and the more code I write while thinking tdd, the more decisions it's seems as though I have to make about the extent of testing that I should write. I would like to set kind of a personal policy as to how much unit testing I should write for my own projects, and was wondering if I get some advice as to how what kind of you approach you all take.
Here an example of a decision that I'm currently facing...
I have three classes...
public class User
public string Username { get; set; }
public List<Favorite> Favorties { get; set; }
public class Favorite
public string Username { get; set; }
public int rank { get; set; }
public class UserManager
public List<Favorite> GetTop5(User user)
var qry = from fav in user.Favorties.OrderBy(f => f.rank)
select fav;
return qry.Take<Favorite>(5).ToList();
I have a data access layer for the User class for which I already have a "GetUser" test setup. As you can see, in my business logic I have a method UserManager.GetTop5() that returns the top 5 favorites for the User that I just pulled out of the db. This method is very simple and currently involves NO external resources or dependencies.
So my question is would you go ahead and write another test for this "GetTop5" function point, even though there's very little chance for failure?
Do you setup a test anyway in case you extend upon the functionality in the future? Or do you think that a test here is excessive?

Natural Medicines
Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Loan Updates
Norma Etanislada is from the town of El Sauce, where she has lived for many years. Her business is selling natural medicines, and she has been doing this for 14 years. It has allowed her to generate her own income for her needs, in the home where she and her husband live.
She is a decent woman, who has raised her children to be the same. They are now independent people who help their mother whatever way they can.
She has been working with Ceprodel for six years. She has been granted seven loans, all to supply the inventory of products she sells, and with which she attracts her customers because of her varied selection.
Now she needs a loan to buy shampoo, creams, ointments, weight-reducers and cough syrups, as these are the products that sell the best in her business and are in greatest demand, so she needs to invest more in them.

I was given the treatment as a present and it was just what I needed.
The therapist was nice and friendly and I was pleased with the massage - deep tissue can be quite painful but you feel so much better afterwards. Plus I like firm pressure and got exactly that.
The venue itself is nice and quite 'zen'. I guess as it's marketed as a spa, the prices are more expensive for certain treatments but massage prices are quite comparable with the others in the area. Also finding a good massage therapist who does deep tissue can be difficult so I promised myself to come back here at least every couple of months.

A senior Taliban leader was captured Saturday in an operation in southern Afghan province of Helmand, said the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)-led coalition forces.
"An Afghan and coalition security force arrested a senior Taliban leader and detained two other insurgents during an operation in Nad Ali district, Helmand province, today," the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said in a press release.
The leader commands multiple cells of Taliban fighters, and with his subordinates, he is alleged to have participated in numerous complex attacks against Afghan and coalition forces throughout the province 555 km south of Afghan capital Kabul, the release added without revealing the name of the man.
On Friday morning, up to eight Taliban were killed and 11 wounded when they came in contact with the Afghan army and police in Helmand's Sangin district, the provincial governor spokesman Omar Zhwak told Xinhua Saturday.
An Afghan policeman was also killed and six army soldiers and four cops were wounded in the fight in Zard Rigi and Sadon areas of the district that lasted for hours, the spokesman said, adding "the insurgents were intimidating locals before the arrival of the security forces in the area."
The Taliban insurgent group, which has been waging an insurgency of more than one decade, has yet to make comments.

Glad that the BBG is defending the assets, though there have been other things called 'Voice of America' without ill effect including an album by the musician Little Steven (sometime of E street band) and an anthology of short stories by the Nigerian writer E.C. Osondu -- check out the story about refugees who draw their identities from the old t-shirts that have come from western aid donations. Quite a metaphor. I once purchased a volume of poetry with the title by accident during a shopping spree on Amazon.com and never got round to returning it. Glad that I won't be tuning into TV shows by mistake.

NBC Drops Voice of America
WASHINGTON -- Last month, NBC announced it had bought the Voice of America, as we noted at the time. NBC planned to use the name for a weekly musical series that will premiere on the network in a few months to compete with "American Idol."
We also speculated that even sophisticated viewers here and in other countries might confuse the NBC "Voice of America" musical with that other Voice of America, the U.S. government's international broadcaster.
All of this did not go unnoticed at VOA headquarters here in Washington.
On the last business day of 2010, we received a message from the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which oversees Voice of America, to let us know they had contacted NBC to advise them the name "Voice of America" legally belongs to the U.S. international broadcaster and cannot be used for NBC's entertainment series. Somehow NBC had failed to notice that other Voice of America, which must not include in its coverage maps NBC Entertainment headquarters in Burbank, California.
So NBC has abandoned "Voice of America" and now will launch its musical series under the title "The Voice." BBG even sent a news clip confirming the change.
But could NBC lose its "Voice"? "The Voice" is the title of a horror movie, not to be confused with another horror movie titled "Voice". Oh, the horror.
"The Voice" is also a name used by a religious publisher and by newspapers in locations including New York, Washington and Michigan. Maybe "The Voice" is used by so many that it is as generic as, say, "The News."
Footnote: Last month, NBC's decision to grab "Voice of America" must have especially caught the attention of one particular BBG executive: Richard Lobo, who supervises VOA as well as Radio and TV Marti. Before his government appointment, Lobo was a longtime vice president and then station president at, you guessed it, NBC.
Disclosure: Before he went to NBC, Lobo was at CBS - and was my boss at my second summer job.

Re: Garden Club Meeting - October 2012
Now that I have all four new cards reporting, I went back and checked my EQ reports to see the affect that my app spree had on my AAoA. At the beginning of August, my AAoA on EQ was 8 years 5 months; currently, it's 6 years 10 months. Still respectable, but still a hit. Fortunately, I had a bunch of old, closed out accounts still reporting plus my backdated Amex to buffer the effects. I'm glad that I didn't add any more than 4 cards at once and I don't have any plans to add any in the foreseeable future. I'll be looking at buying a new car sometime next year, but I'll be sitting here in the garden until then. All I really want to do at this point is enjoy my new cards and watch my AAoA and scores start to creep back up.
Current Scores: EQ 775 (03/04/2014), EX 756 (03/01/2014), TU 760 (03/01/2014)

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ...in the council for a referendum vote, and our organization voted in favor of that point of arbitration and the rules adopted upon the same. In the meantime, during all this controversy, the organization of which I am president, the bricklayers and stone masons, in January, as per agreement, sent to the masons and builders' association of the city of Chicago, notifying them of our election of a new arbitration board for the ensuing year, telling them we were ready and willing to meet with their arbitration board and arbitrate for the coming year. We sent over a written communication to them, but received no answer. 1 went East. Coming back from the East on the 22d or 25th of January--around there--1 immediately asked the secretary of the arbitration board if he had received any communication from the masons and builders' association. He said he had not. I immediately told him to communicate over the'phone and ask them if they desired arbitration lor the coming year; if they wanted to meet with our organization. He did so, and Mr. Robinson, secretary of the masons and builders' association, who by the way is not a mason by occupation and who is secretary of their association, and who admitted that they debarred men hpm their association for not being masons--he sent word over that Mr. Coey, president of the association, was not in, but he would see him when he came in and let us know. The next morning I asked our secretary. "Have you heard from Mr. Coey?" He said no. I said, "Call him up again." Ho immediately called him up on the phone in my presence, and ho told him he had forgotten the matter, but would speak to Mr. Coey and let him know that day. So he let it go that day and heard no more about it. Four successive...

Maximizing Infection Prevention in the Next Decade: Defining the Unacceptable

An important role of public health agencies is to define the unacceptable. This concept has particular relevance for healthcare‐associated infections. Evidence indicates that, with focused efforts, these once‐formidable infections can be greatly reduced in number, leading to a new normal for healthcare‐associated infections as rare, unacceptable events.

Are you happy with the way your teeth look?
Or are you unwilling to smile because your teeth are less than pearly white?
Are you worried that your teeth are discoloured by coffee, tea or smoking?
Do you lack self-confidence because your teeth are stained by age or tetracycline?
Are you tired of home, mou'th tray products or other laser whitening systems that don't work?
Every Child starts off with beautiful white teeth, but strongly coloured foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and cola can discolour the surface of your teeth. After a time these stains penetrate deep inside the teeth. Just like white clothes which have picked up dyes and can never regain their original brightness, stained teeth are very difficult to whiten with conventional methods. But the Beaming Whitening advanced technology cleans both the surface and the internal structure of the teeth.
We offer the world leading in professional cosmetic whitening systems, is dedicated to developing the safest and the most advanced technologies for cosmetic dentistry. Numerous clinical studies have proven that our system, which takes less than 1 hour to return your smile to sparkling white, is the most effective way for whitening the teeth without any side effects.
The cold-light tooth-whitening machine uses a narrow beam of high-intensity blue light. A special optical process removes harmful infrared and ultraviolet light.
Tests prove that, after whitening with Beaming Whitening, the teeth score 5 to 14 points higher on the VITA scale. The results are much better than can be obtained with comparable products.
Call now to book an appointment, and join thousands of satisfied patients enjoying their confident, shiny-white smiles.
The science of tooth whitening has been in development for over 100 years, and has never been shown to cause harm to the teeth. But the Beaming Whitening system has taken whitening to new levels of safety and comfort. Our cold-light technology and proprietary gel formulation combine to whiten teeth to their brightest- in less than 1 hour.

Additional Information
About Micro Start/AFDThis loan is administered by Micro Start/AFD, Kiva's first Field Partner in Burkina Faso. Micro Start/AFD's mission is to improve families' living conditions in general, and those of women in particular, by facilitating access to financial and non-financial services.
Micro Start/AFD is a professional microfinance institution offering financial services, advice, and training. One of the organization's principal aims is to collect obligatory and voluntary savings that foster clients' financial independence. Micro Start/AFD also focuses on building female entrepreneurs' skills in management and business administration and improving the living conditions in its clients' communities. More information can be found on Micro Start's Kiva Field Partner Page.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

In the wake of a knife attack at an elementary school reportedly driven by predictions about the coming end of the world, Chinese authorities have detained dozens for spreading rumors about the coming apocalypse.
According to Xinhua, 93 people -- many of them members of a religious group called Almighty God, which promotes belief in the upcoming Dec. 21 Mayan doomsday -- have been detained as potential day of reckoning grows closer. At the same time, authorities have sought to play down any talk about the world ending, ordering media last week to "strictly vet reports on the so-called "end of the world" and "strengthen positive guidance and forcefully guard against the creation and spread of rumors, as well as working up panicked feelings." The order appears to have been taken seriously, with newspapers publishing soothing quotes from various experts arguing that Friday will be like any other day, reports The Telegraph:
"Speaking to Hong Kong's South China Morning Post, Sun Xiaochun, a top professor from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: "The event will be as destructive as when we throw an old table calendar into the rubbish can at the end of the year."
The idea that Friday will be the end of it all has gained quite a foothold in parts of China. Hebei Province farmer Liu Qiyuan, pictured above, has begun making "survival pods" out of fiberglass and steel for the event, while Business Insider reports that,[view whole blog post ]

Selling a home can often be one of the most emotionally draining events in a person's life. Where a seller might be swinging from the rafters with glee one day at having finally found a buyer willing to write an offer, they can be drowning in tears the next when the buyer withdraws from the sale. Losing a real estate sale is depressing. So how can you avoid having your home sale fail?
The answer is to know what escrow icebergs to watch for so you can steer clear of disaster. To help, let's explore the top five reasons sales fail (and how to avoid them):
Buyers remorse is the psychological backlash from making any major purchase, the little voice in the back of a buyer's mind that says - Is this really a good idea? Buyers suffering from buyer's remorse will often begin to pick the home apart, scrutinize inspection reports more carefully, and look for reasons to withdraw from the sale. To combat this natural tendency, savvy sellers and their agents continue the selling process throughout escrow. They do this by reminding the buyer why the home is a good value. This might include the benefits and features the home offers, the advantages the home provides over the competition, or the superior location and neighborhood amenities. In addition, wise sellers request that buyers make a substantial earnest money deposit to demonstrate their commitment to the sale.
Whether they deserve it or not, appraisers have taken a lot of heat concerning the real estate market meltdown. Because of this they, and the banks they represent, are much more conservative when it comes to establishing fair market value which often results in low appraisals. To avoid a deal breaking low appraisal, sellers and their agents should be prepared to defend their price by meeting with the appraiser at the home and providing the list of comparable sales that were used to establish value. In addition many homeowners have found it useful to point out remodeling, construction, and amenity details that might not be readily apparent.
Almost every home sale is subject to conditions or contingencies. These are the points that a buyer or seller must resolve during escrow in order to successfully close the transaction. For instance, a common condition of sale is the acceptance of an inspection report or the review of a preliminary title report. The challenge with addressing conditions within escrow is that, if they have been poorly written or do not include a specific deadline for completion, it can quickly lead to disaster. To avoid a problem, be sure that all parties in the transaction have a clear understanding about the meaning of the condition and a clear deadline as to when the condition will be removed or resolved.
An inspection report can be a "deal killer" if it reveals a problem the buyer was unaware of before they made an offer, or if the report itself was written in such a way that it gives a buyer the wrong impression about the overall condition of the home. To avoid a nasty surprise, many sellers choose to have a pre-inspection prior to marketing their home for sale. By doing so they can address any issues revealed by the inspection in advance and be able to provide a "clean" report to the buyer. The only downside to this approach is that any items revealed during the inspection will need to be disclosed to the buyer whether they are fixed or not.
Often the biggest challenge to closing escrow isn't the home, appraisal, or inspection reports, but rather the people. People problems, including poor communication skills and missed deadlines, can create escrow challenges that can easily kill a sale. To avoid this fate, decide in advance a schedule of communication with all parties involved in the transaction. For instance, a conference call with all the players every Monday might be one way to keep everyone focused on moving escrow forward to a successful conclusion. In addition, map your deadlines on a calendar and be sure to extend any dates that can't be hit.
Don't allow your sale to fail! Many sales on the brink of failure can be saved if the seller and their agent take the time to attack these issues early.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Praising Derek Fisher
During a late timeout in Game 6 on Friday, Scott Brooks greeted veteran reserve guard Derek Fisher at the bench area by grabbing his face and telling the 38-year-old veteran just how much his performance meant to the Thunder coach.
"What I saw tonight was some of the most inspiring play I've ever seen in all my playing time and in coaching," Brooks said. "The guy laid everything on the line. He was probably one of the best players in the game."
Fisher guarded ex-teammate James Harden virtually the entire fourth quarter, holding the Rockets star to six points and 2-of-6 shooting. Fisher also scored eight points on 3-of-3 shooting. Fisher's steal off Harden led to a Kevin Durant dunk that gave the Thunder a 94-84 lead midway through the quarter. Then Fisher's 3-pointer made it 97-84 with 5:26 left.
Brooks said Fisher was forcing Harden to "make tough shots and making him make tough decisions, and for him to do that every single play down the court is a testament to his character."
Brooks did not substitute in the fourth quarter Friday night. He stuck with Durant, Fisher, Reggie Jackson, Nick Collison and Kevin Martin the entire 12 minutes.
The Rockets scored just 17 fourth-quarter points, and five of those came in the final minute, when the game was over.
"The biggest thing was, every pass was contested, every shot was contested and every catch was felt by our guys," Brooks said. "Our guys got into them. I told them at the third-quarter break that if your man doesn't feel you, you're not doing your job and you've disappointed your teammates."
The Thunder was perfect from the foul line, going 16 of 16. For the series, the Thunder made 84.8 percent of its foul shots.
"We needed every one of them," Brooks said. "We are a good free-throw shooting team. Our guys improve. We feel like it's a very important part of the game. We work on it. It's not something that we hope to get better at. We work at it everyday. Free throws, we do it every single day, every shootaround, every practice."
Courtesy of Bovada in Las Vegas, here are the latest playoff odds (prior to Saturday's Brooklyn-Chicago game:
Win NBA Championship
Miami Heat 4/9
San Antonio Spurs 11/2
OKC Thunder 9/1
Memphis Grizzlies 14/1
New York Knicks 14/1
Indiana Pacers 25/1
Golden State Warriors 40/1

Brooklyn Nets 40/1
Chicago Bulls 40/1
Win Western Conference
San Antonio Spurs 5/7
OKC Thunder 3/1
Memphis Grizzlies 5/1
Golden State Warriors 9/1
Thunder veteran Nick Collison came off the bench, had 10 points and a team-high nine rebounds in Game 6.
The OKC bench outscored the Rockets' reserves 46-11 and held a 17-8 advantage in rebounding.
Jackson on Fisher's mental approach to the playoffs: "It's a mental battle, this game. Mentally, I haven't seen anybody prepare like him. He can tell himself that he can do things that maybe his body probably shouldn't. He's a great competitor and a great leader out there for us."

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland Timbers made a flurry of moves this week as the team prepares for next season under new head coach Caleb Porter.
Heading into its third Major League Soccer season, Portland signed goaltender Jake Gleeson, defender Ryan Kawulok and midfielder Rodney Wallace to new contracts. Additionally, the team exercised contract options on eight players from last season's roster, and declined the option for defender Steven Smith.
The moves came in advance of the league's re-entry draft. As expected, Portland passed on its pick in the first stage on Friday, and will have the third pick for the second stage next Friday.
Earlier this week, the Timbers acquired defender Michael Harrington from Sporting KC and midfielder Will Johnson from Real Salt Lake in other moves.

The Safety Net Collaborative is a partnership among Cambridge Health Alliance, the Cambridge Police and Cambridge schools and after-schools designed to identify at-risk youth in the community and link them to appropriate services and supports. For more information:http://www.cambridgema.gov/cpd/communityresources/safetynetcollaborative.aspx
The collaborative is now in its 5th year and stakeholders are starting to design outcome research. There is a role for a medical student to analyze outcome data to answer whether Safety Net is succeeding in promoting mental health and reducing juvenile delinquency. Specific data can be analyzed in the following areas: delinquency, mental health, and a violence prevention program unique to Safety Net: "Fight Navigator."
