MINUTES OF 2/3/04 MEETING: Mr. Piazza moved to approve the minutes of the 2/3/04 meeting; the motion was seconded by Mr. Sensibaugh and passed unanimously.
SKETCH PLAN - SILVER LAKE PARK: Kathy Kelly and Joel Grosso of the Parks and Recreation Board were present to discuss a sketch plan of improvements planned for Silver Lake Park. Ms. Kelly said that only the driveway and the 22 space parking lot are planned for this year. In future years the Board would like to install a walking path around the perimeter with a connection to the Newtown Trail, a ballfield backstop, a picnic area with outdoor furniture, and a fountain in the lake. The ballfield will be for informal games and will not be graded. The fountain's purpose is to keep the lake aerated. There will be no restrooms, drinking fountains, or lighting. Ms. Kelly said the lake is presently in good shape and not polluted.
Mr. Sensibaugh said that the walking trail begins close to the road, and he asked if barriers could be erected to keep people from driving on the walking trail. Mr. Ward asked if there are any plans for parking on Silver Lake Road; Ms. Kelly said there are no plans currently. Ms. Goldstein noted that the trail forms a loop of about half a mile.
Mr. Piazza asked if directional signage for the park will be placed on the Bypass. Mr. Walker said the driveway goes up a steep slope from the road, and he asked if there could be a guardrail on that section. Ms. Kelly will take these questions back to the Parks and Recreation Board.
Mr. Harwood suggested that the Board review the plans with Lockheed Martin, a nearby property owner.
CONDITIONAL USE - TUDOR SQUARE - PHASE III - 660 NEWTOWN-YARDLEY ROAD - TMP# 29-10-119 AND 29-10-119-1: Attorney Don Marshall was present to discuss the request to allow 45,456 SF of D-1 General Office Use on a 9.27 acre site in the O-LI District. The applicant proposes to construct a three-story building; two office buildings currently exist on the site.
The 10/14/03 Boucher and James letter was reviewed. Mr. Marshall said that only small truck deliveries are anticipated, no hazardous materials will be used or stored, the average number of employees will be 250 and the maximum 420, the hours of operation will be 6:00 AM to midnight Monday through Saturday, 217 new parking spaces will be provided, and no noxious environmental effects will be produced.
Mr. Marshall said the applicant will comply with all points in the Boucher and James letter relevant to the conditional use application (items A 3 and 4). He said the two tax map parcels are owned by the same person and will be merged into one parcel.
Mr. Lombardi moved to recommend that the Board of Supervisors approve the conditional use application subject to the following conditions:
1. Only small truck deliveries will be made
2. No hazardous materials will be used of stored
3. The maximum number of employees will be 420
4. The hours of operation will be 6:00 AM to midnight Monday through Saturday
5. The two tax map parcels will be merged
6. 217 new parking spaces will be provided
7. The applicant will comply with the provisions of the10/14/03 Boucher and James letter relevant to the conditional use application (items A3 and 4)
The motion was seconded by Mr. Sensibaugh and passed unanimously.
PRELIMINARY PLAN - TUDOR SQUARE - PHASE III - 660 NEWTOWN-YARDLEY ROAD - TMP# 29-10-119 AND 29-10-119-1: See previous review. Mr. Marshall said that expanded parking and a new stormwater management system are proposed in addition to the new building.
The provisions of the 10/14/03 Boucher and James letter relevant to the preliminary plan submission were reviewed (items A5 through C3). The following points were discussed:
A 6 a - Steep Slopes: Ms. Goldstein said she observed steep slopes near swales and the existing stormwater management system. Mr. Marshall said the slopes will not exist when the new stormwater management system is constructed. He also said the slopes do not fit the definition of "steep slopes" in the ordinance because they are not subject to runoff and erosion.
A 9 - Width of Driveway: The access drive from Newtown-Yardley Road is in excess of 35' wide to accommodate turning lanes. Ms. Goldstein said that this requirement appears in both the JMZO and the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance. If it is waived by the Board of Supervisors it is not necessary to obtain a variance as well. Mr. Jirele commented that the Township asked the applicant to design the driveway this way, so it makes sense to grant a waiver of this requirement.
A 12 - Clear Sight Triangles: Mr. Marshall said the applicant is not responsible for telephone poles or signs that currently are in the sight triangle, and telephone poles are not generally considered obstructions.
B 5 - Fire Lanes: Mr. Marshall said the applicant will comply with the Fire Marshal's letter. Mr. Lombardi commented that the letter is not clear about what the applicant should do; Mr. Harwood said he will get a clarification from the Fire Marshal.
B 6 - Lighting: Mr. Marshall said the applicant is seeking a waiver from the requirement for street lights along Newtown-Yardley Road. He said a light is proposed for the driveway entrance.
B 8 - Curbing: Mr. Marshall said all new parking will have curbs.
B 14 - Park and Recreation Improvements: Mr. Marshall said the Parks and Recreation Board has reviewed the plan and recommended a fee in lieu of recreation improvements.
The 10/16/03 Pennoni Associates letter was reviewed. Mr. Walker said that the applicant has submitted a traffic study but his office has not yet reviewed it. He recommended that traffic issues be deferred to the final plan review. The following items were discussed:
1. III A 1 - Impervious Surface: Mr. Marshall said the applicant received a variance to allow 59.3% impervious surface where the ordinance requires no more than 50%.
2. III A 3 - Utility Easements: Mr. Marshall said this Section does not apply to the two Newtown Business Commons general utility easements.
3. III A 10 - Right-of-Way: This comment notes that Newtown-Yardley Road is a Principal Arterial Highway, so the minimum right-of-way should be 120'. The applicant has proposed a 40' right-of-way measured from the center line. Mr. Marshall said the existing buildings prevent the applicant from providing the full right-of-way, and the comment is not applicable. Mr. Sander suggested this question be deferred to the final plan review.
4. III B 18 - Park and Recreation Fees: Mr. Marshall said he questions the calculation of fees in this comment, but the applicant will pay what the ordinance requires.
5. III C 20 through 38: It was agreed that traffic issues will be deferred to the final plan review.
Mr. Marshall said there are no additional issues in the Bucks County Planning Commission's 10/14/03 letter, and the applicant will comply with all points in the Bucks County Conservation District's 8/16/02 letter.
Mr. Walker asked if the applicant has considered constructing an emergency access to the site. He suggested the applicant explore the possibility of an emergency access through the adjacent cemetery.
Mr. Lombardi moved to recommend that the Board of Supervisors grant preliminary approval to this plan with the following conditions:
1. Compliance with the 9/18/03 Emergency Services letter, the 10/14/03 Boucher and James letter, and the 10/16/03 Pennoni Associates letter
2. The applicant agrees to pay the appropriate fee in lieu of providing recreation facilities
3. A note will be placed on the plan to explain the calculations of the base site area regarding the easements
4. The issue of the ultimate right-of-way will be determined at final plan review
5. Traffic issues (Pennoni Associates items C 20 through 24, 28, and 31) are deferred to final plan review
6. Compliance with all applicable provisions of the Bucks County Planning Commission's 10/14/03 letter
7. Compliance with the 8/16/02 Bucks County Conservation District letter
8. The applicant will discuss the possibility of emergency access through the adjacent cemetery with the cemetery owner
In addition, the Commission recommended that the following waivers be granted:
1. Section 508.2 - To allow an access driveway wider than 35'
2. Section 402.3.B and C - To allow an aerial photograph in lieu of showing existing features on the plan
3. Section 402.4.M - Relief from the requirement that a landscape architect prepare the plan
4. Section 513 - Relief from the requirement for street lights along Newtown-Yardley Road; the applicant will provide a street light at the entrance
5. Section 517 - Relief from the requirement for sidewalks along Newtown-Yardley Road
6. Section 520.5 - To allow parking on the general utility easements
7. Section 516.2 - Relief from the requirement for curbing on the road frontage
The motion was seconded by Mr. Dieterle and passed unanimously.
PRELIMINARY PLAN - NEWTOWN OFFICE PARK - NEWTOWN-YARDLEY ROAD AND FRIENDS LANE - TMP# 29-10-99: Withdrawn from the agenda at the request of the applicant.
ZONING HEARING BOARD APPLICATION - JEANETTE MANN - 23 BIRCH COURT - TMP# 29-44-138: Several members commented that the proposed patio seems excessively large, but it was up to the neighbors to determine if it is acceptable.
Mr. Ward moved to recommend that the Board of Supervisors not oppose this request, provided that the applicable Homeowners Association does not object to the plan. The motion was seconded by Mr. Piazza and passed unanimously.
a. Board of Supervisors: Mr. Ward reported that the Commission's recommendations on ordinances were supported at the Board's 2/11/04 meeting.
b. Newtown Area Regional Planning Commission: Mr. Sensibaugh said that the Regional Commission will meet on 2/19/04.
c. Sycamore Street Committee: Mr. Lombardi said the website for the project is operating now. The site will be updated regularly with information on the progress of the work.
d. HARB: Mr. Lombardi said that HARB's most recent meeting was primarily devoted to a discussion of the Pryda LLC project.
e. Park and Recreation Board: Mr. Mendicino said the Board discussed the Silver Lake Park sketch plan, and heard an offer from Jim Worthington to allow the Township to use a building he owns in the Newtown Business Commons as a community center.
f. Plan Expirations: Mr. Sander said there are no expirations requiring the attention of the Commission.
PRELIMINARY PLAN -YAMAMOTO: The Commission received a 2/6/04 memo from the Park and Recreation Board reporting that the Board recommended a fee in lieu of open space for this project.
ROBERTS RIDGE PLAYGROUND: The Commission received copies of a 2/4/04 memo from Director of Parks and Recreation Bill Wert to the Manager. The memo reports that Mr. Wert received an estimate of $19,800 for disassembling, relocating, and reinstalling the playground equipment, which was suggested by the Planning Commission.
PRELIMINARY PLAN APPROVAL - HIDDEN VALLEY TRACT: The Commission received copies of a 2/6/04 letter from the Solicitor to M & N Homes, Inc. which includes a Revised Preliminary Plan Approval for this project.
JMZO 2004 - LI/O-LI DISTRICT PROVISIONS: Mr. Ward said he will draft a report to the Board of Supervisors on the Economic Development Commission recommendations and circulate it to members for review.
Mr. Dieterle moved to table consideration of this ordinance until the Commission has completed its review of the Economic Development Commission's recommendations and has developed its report to the Board of Supervisors. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sensibaugh and passed unanimously.
JMZO 2003 - CONDITIONAL USE/SPECIAL EXCEPTION: Mr. Sander said the ordinance is being proposed because conditional uses and special exceptions are basically the same processes, except that conditional uses are heard by the Board of Supervisors and special exceptions are heard by the Zoning Hearing Board. He said the principal change is to eliminate Section 1507.E and move the provisions governing special exceptions into Article XIII, renaming that Article "Conditional Uses and Special Exceptions."
Mr. Lombardi expressed strong opposition to this proposed ordinance because there are so many changes it is impossible to tell if anything substantive has changed. Dave Kulig, a member of the Upper Makefield Planning Commission, was present and said the ordinance includes some new definitions and consolidates some sections, but the intent of the original ordinance is preserved.
Mr. Sensibaugh asked what benefits come from the proposed ordinance. Mr. Kulig responded that it simplifies and clarifies the provisions relating to these two processes. He said the impetus for the proposal was a request for the Upper Makefield Planning Commission to research the possibility of changing some conditional uses to special exceptions; in the course of this research, they noticed how difficult it is to use the ordinance in its present form.
Ms. Goldstein said she also found it difficult to compare the existing ordinance with the proposed ordinance. She said the changes affect the entire document, not just Article XIII. She noted that Wrightstown Township has tabled the ordinance and has not yet discussed it.
Mr. Sander suggested that the ordinance could be revised to include only some of the changes, to make it easier to comprehend. Mr. Kulig said he will take this suggestion back to Upper Makefield.
Mr. Sensibaugh moved to recommend that the Board of Supervisors not enact the ordinance in its present form, as it is confusing. The motion was seconded by Mr. Mendicino for purposes of discussion.
Discussion of motion: Mr. Mendicino asked if the Commission has a deadline for making a recommendation. Mr. Sander said the Commission can reject it now and wait for a revised version. Mr. Mendicino said he will not support the proposed ordinance as it is written now.
Mr. Mendicino withdrew his second. Mr. Sensibaugh's motion failed for lack of a second.
Mr. Mendicino moved to table consideration of the ordinance to give the Commission more time to review it. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dieterle and passed unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT: With no objections the meeting was adjourned at 11:25 PM.
Respectfully Submitted,
Gretta Stone, Recording Secretary

Rwanda : Nyabihu stresses on Environmental protection
Rwanda Environmental Management Authority in Nyabihu District has called on the residents of the area to always protect the environment to avoid unnecessary degradation and pollution.
One of the Authority's officials Jean de Dieu Nabimana insisted that without environment protection, life is at risk.
In 2012 ,people in the District dealt mainly with fighting soil erosion by planting trees, and working on terraces all of which helped protect the environment hence an encouragement from the officials to continue doing so.
The residents were again advised to learn more about the law on the environment which will help them protect it even better.
"Protecting Rivers, Lakes, Swamps, Mountains, Forests, and knowing well the laws about all these will help maintain them in this year 2013, and therefore be able to prevent the effects related to not protecting them", added on Nabimana.
He added on saying that it was everyone's responsibility to protect the environment; therefore everyone should look at it.

Federal Government Forced to Decide: Is This a Raccoon, or a Dog?
When you see the cute creature above, what first comes to mind: raccoon, or dog? The answer matters, because plenty of Americans are currently wearing its fur, sold under the name "Asiatic Raccoon". Animal rights groups say that if it was required to be known as "Raccoon Dog," people might be less keen to wear its skin as a coat.
The animal you're looking at, nyctereutes procyonoides, is a member of the Canidae family of animals that includes wolves, foxes, coyotes and the domestic dog. It's native to East Asia, and farming and skinning the animals has become big business in China and Finland, the two largest exporters of its fur.
That fur ends up in clothing sold in the U.S., where the Humane Society of the United States has long waged a campaign to ban the product, or at least label it as "raccoon dog" to reduce its appeal to shoppers.
"To our knowledge, no single furbearing animal has ever before been so mistreated and completely misrepresented to the public," the group said in a statement back in 2008. "Raccoon dogs are not raccoons (Procyon lotor) — they merely have facial markings that resemble raccoons."
But in an update of fur labeling rules released this week, the Federal Trade Commission rejected this argument: a raccoon it is."It has rings around its eyes and it climbs trees," the 59-page FTC document said. "The name 'Asiatic Raccoon' best identifies this animal for fur consumers."
That's bad news for the Asiatic raccoon, but good news for the fur industry, whose trade group sent out an announcement celebrating the decision. The campaign to either ban the fur or change its name was central to broader anti-fur activism over the last seven years, the Fur Information Council of America said in a statement. "This campaign relied on confusion, misinformation and the sympathies it created to disparage the fur trade and convince consumers that the fur industry was trading in products made of domestic dog."
The Humane Society is not impressed by the decision. "Here's an example of the FTC bending over backwards to accept an industry name made up out of whole cloth, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence and common English usage," chief program and policy officer Michael Markarian wrote in response to the decision. "A raccoon dog isn't a raccoon, just as a kangaroo rat isn't a kangaroo—and the FTC should know the difference."

Gone Too Soon
Four Years After Losing Her Husband to Cancer, Katie Couric Mourns Her Sister Emily
Katie, 44, paid tribute to Emily, a Virginia state senator, as "the personification of excellence." Mourners-including former U.S. Senator Chuck Robb of Virginia, Katie's Today cohost Matt Lauer and the rest of the Couric clan—mother Elinor, 78, father John, 81, sister Clara, 51, and brother John, 47—heard Emily depicted as a considerate woman and mother whose fight against cancer inspired political colleagues, constituents and family members alike. Emily's son Jeff Wadlow, 25, a filmmaker who had a small part in Pearl Harbor, asked, "If you were told you had less than a year to live, what would you do differently? My mom didn't change a thing. On some level she knew there was nothing to improve." Oldest son Dr. Ray Wadlow, 28, summoned Emily's compassionate nature. "When I would complain about someone particularly difficult to admire," he said, "she would insist that I identify one thing about that person I liked, respected or found interesting, and thereafter focus on that."
For Katie the loss was a particularly painful blow, coming less than four years after Monahan's death from colon cancer. "Emily had many admirers, none more so than Katie," says friend Barbara Harrison, a news anchor at the NBC affiliate WRC-TV in Washington, D.C. Vester, who once lived down the block from Katie on Manhattan's Upper East Side, recalls how the sisters used to stroll together around the neighborhood when Emily visited. "They would have smiles on their faces, listening intently to each other," she says. "They had that look of shared jokes and shared history."
Until her cancer diagnosis, Emily had been seeking the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor of Virginia and was widely touted to become the state's first female governor in 2005. The twice-married pol had written two books on the law and, following Monahan's death, championed legislation that made Virginia the first state to require health insurers to cover the costs of colorectal exams. "She showed me that politics is about people, not self-gain," said her brother John, an accountant, in his eulogy.
After her sister's diagnosis 15 months ago, Katie, the youngest of the four Couric children, made frequent trips to the home Emily shared with cardiologist George Beller, 60, her husband of 20 years, and helped track down experimental treatments. With a regimen that included chemotherapy, green tea and gargling with salt water, Emily was among the small fraction of pancreatic cancer patients who survive more than a year. As Katie (who friends say has been leaning on her boyfriend, TV producer Tom Werner, 51) told the assembled mourners: "She taught me not about dying but about living. Her courage and spirit are legendary."

Reviews from acreage building owners
Very Impressed with the crew that erected the building. They commenced work an a Tuesday @ 2 PM and completed late the following Friday. Hard workers. Very impressed. Lots of comments from Ranchers on how fast building went up.
~ Victor Schrauwen, Alderson Creek Ranch, Farm/Acreage shop
I have a background in construction and watched the crew all the way through. But they proved that I had no reason to watch them. They were a first class crew. They arrived on time and were immediately marking the building out. They didn't stop from that second on, working from morning to night.
~ Jim Teebay,
Acreage building
I just wanted to pass on our appreciation for the work that you all did here for us. The crew was excellent, the quality of work, the speed and their attitude made the building a lot of fun from our perspective. We will certainly be recommending Integrity for anyone that's wanting to build. Thanks again.

Best Headset for brokers, sales, etc.
I am a financial advisor at a major wall street firm and spend most of my day on the phone. For 5-6 years I have had a plantronics CS50 which was decent but the past year the call quality was deteriorating (echo, noise) and after many attempts, it could not be adjusted away. Also I was about to run through my second battery replacement. Fortunately I checked buy.com since I had my eye on the CS70N/AWH-75N, but these babies are usually $300. I was able to get this one (the top of the line) for less than a CS50! The best feature is that with my phone (Avaya 9630) I can remotely answer and end calls without the clunky headset lifter. There is just a tiny microphone to put where your phone's ringer is and when away from your desk, if your phone rings the headset will beep (EVEN if it is OFF!) and you can then press the main button on the headset to answer it. The only time I have to touch my phone is to press the numbers to dial. When you push the main button on the headset, not only does the headset turn "on" but you also get a dial tone. In the past, this required also pressing the "headset" button on the phone to get a dial tone. Same thing with hanging up, I used to have to turn off the headset AND hit the headset button on the phone. Now I just hit the headset button and the phone goes off the hook as well. The call quality is stellar both for me and my counterparties. I guess I seem a little excited but when you make your living talking to people, convenience, call quality, and seamless integration are key!

No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers
Record: 27-6. How they got here: At-large bid. Strengths: The Hoosiers are deep and talented. Center Cody Zeller (16.8 ppg) and guard Victor Oladipo (13.7) play well off one another. Weaknesses: Indiana's opponents had their greatest success when they were physical and played relentless defense.

Teachers to get trained in new standards
Published: Saturday, July 5, 2014 at 8:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 5, 2014 at 8:01 p.m.
SARASOTA COUNTY - Later this month, nearly 500 Sarasota County teachers and administrators will be trained on new state education standards.
It's volunteer training; staff members won't get paid extra to come in for a nine-hour day at the Sarasota County Technical Institute.
But a district official said the training on the Florida Standards — a tweaked version of Common Core — will help staff prepare as the district fully implements the standards in all grades for the first time.
"Every school will be represented," said Sue Meckler, the district's curriculum and instruction director.
The training will be grouped by different grade levels on July 29-31 so teachers can become more familiar with what their incoming students have already been taught and what children need to know for the next grade, Meckler said.
For instance, eighth-grade teachers will be learning about the standards with high school teachers. Teachers in grades K-3 and grades 4-7 will be trained together for a better understanding of what students in different grades are supposed to know.
"We've always been isolated by level" in the past, Meckler said.
As part of the three-day workshop, the teachers who were picked by their principals to attend will discuss how they can bring what they learned back to their schools for the upcoming 2014-15 school year. Principals will also meet to share their ideas and plans for providing teacher support.
Sarasota County's schools district has been transitioning to the new standards since the state adopted Common Core in 2010.
Common Core has become increasingly controversial politically, as critics say the rollout has been flawed — from districts buying textbooks that aren't fully aligned with the standards to teachers not being familiar with the new tests that will cover the standards. Others said they are concerned Common Core usurps local control of schools.
Think of Common Core as a set of guidelines: What should a student know in each grade for math and English language arts?
The standards were intended to even out the playing field across the country so a Florida fourth-grader would be expected to know the same math concepts as a fourth-grader in Michigan, for instance.
The district won a state grant to hire consultant C2 Collaborative — a Chicago-area group that focuses on career and college readiness — to conduct the training.
Meckler was unable to provide the cost estimate for the grant last week.

The results of the largest-ever clinical trial found that omega-3 fish oil may significantly benefit half of all people diagnosed with depression.
Specifically, fish oil seemed to help the 50 percent of depression patients who are free from diagnosed anxiety disorders.
Fish oil appeared to help these people about as much as the leading class of antidepressant drugs... that is, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Prozac and Paxil.
Participants for the trial were people diagnosed with moderate to severe unipolar (i.e., not bipolar) major depression who were unable to tolerate antidepressants, who refused them despite a physician's recommendation, or who were not helped by the drugs.
More than 430 patients with an episode of major depression were assigned to take either with omega-3 EPA from fish oil (1,050mg per day) for two months or an identical-looking placebo pill masked with fish odor.
Fish oil did not perform better than placebo, for the patients diagnosed with anxiety as well as depression.
More than 430 patients with an episode of major depression were assigned to take either with omega-3 EPA from fish oil (1,050mg per day) for two months or an identical-looking placebo pill masked with fish odor.
Omega-3 EPA from fish oil did not perform better than placebo among the patients diagnosed with anxiety as well as depression.
But among those diagnosed with major depressionbut not anxietythe patients who took omega-3 EPA had significantly better scores than the placebo group.
As lead author Francois Lesperance, M.D., told Medscape Psychiatry. "the level of improvement we saw in this subgroup is on a par with what has typically been reported with pharmacologic treatments" (Stein J 2009).
Findings apply to the half of all depression patients not usually studied
These findings are important because they carry implications for about one-half of all depressed patients those who do not also display anxiety disorders.
And these people are often excluded from placebo-controlled studies of antidepressant drugs.
Dr. Lesperance made a key point: "Many depressed patients prefer to avoid drug treatment because of the stigma associated with such therapy, not to mention potential treatment-related side effects, and thus it's nice to be able to offer patients an alternative treatment that is similarly effective but without the risks" (Stein J 2009).
Most population studies show links between higher levels of omega-3s and reduced depression risk, and/or link low levels of omega-3sor an excess of omega-6s versus omega-3sto higher levels of depression.
Besides supporting normal mood, research shows that omega-3sand higher than average omega-3/omega-6 intake ratioslikely benefit cardiovascular, brain, bone, and metabolic health.

Americans Support Enforcement!
According to two surveys released yesterday, Americans overwhelmingly believe that illegal immigration is a serious problem and that Congress should take steps to control it. A USA Today/Gallup poll reports that 81 percent of Americans believe illegal immigration is "out of control" and 61 percent believe that the government should make illegal immigration a crime.
A just released Zogby poll also indicated that Americans are fed up with illegal aliens mocking our laws with recent large scale protests. Zogby reports that 61 percent of respondents were "less likely to be sympathetic as a result of the protests."

Three railroad tanker cars derailed near the border of Arlington and Fort Worth late Thursday night.
The train went off the tracks at about 10:45 p.m. near Calloway Cemetery Road, south of Trinity Boulevard in far north Arlington. The three train cars crashed into several utility poles, cutting power to the area.
One of the cars was filled with ethanol, reported NBC Channel 5.
Arlington firefighters and Fort Worth police worked through the night to block off the area and push the train cars back on the tracks.

And he completely attributes that to his regular blood donation.
"I believe, and my doctor has said, that donating blood is one of the healthiest things you can do," he said. "It's like changing oil in a vehicle."
The 69-year old Benton man is set to donate his 400th pint of blood by late this morning.
"I donate platelets, so I can give every two weeks," he said. "And I think I am one of the healthiest people around for my age."
To mark the occasion, Morse had a special T-shirt made that says "400 (50 gallons) and still giving."
He admitted that he is a bit superstitious, however, and won't reveal the shirt until he is hooked up to the machine and everything looks OK. "I'm too scared to jinx it," he said.

The Top 20 College Football Programs of the Modern Era (Part I)
Posted by Neil Paine on August 12, 2010
Note: This post was originally published at the new College Football at Sports-Reference site, so when you're done reading, go over and check it out!
To kick off our College Football Blog coverage at Sports-Reference.com/CFB, I thought I'd jump right in with a countdown of the twenty best programs of the modern era. Of course, in order to do that, I first need to define "best" and "modern era".
For "best", I'm going to go with the tried-and-true Simple Rating System (SRS), a staple of the Sports-Reference sites ever since Doug posted about it on May 8, 2006. It's certainly not the final word in team ratings, but it does a good job of balancing simplicity with predictive accuracy -- and when all you have going back to the 1940s is game scores, it's hard to find a better way to rank schools.
By the way, a few notes about the SRS you see here... Because college football features teams of widely varying skill levels and schedule strengths, we had to find a way to avoid rewarding teams for running up the score on an overmatched opponent, which is why wins of more than twenty-four points count as +24. Also, we needed to make sure wins (even close ones) were properly weighted relative to losses, which is why wins of fewer than seven points still count as +7.
As for defining the "modern era" of college football, that's a more subjective exercise. Some say it began in 1906, when the forward pass was legalized; others contend it was in the 1920s and 30s, with the rise of Notre Dame as the country's premier team, and the expansion of the game from a provincial diversion to a national pastime. However, I think the best working definition for the end of the classical era is 1945.
World War II wrapped up in '45, and -- not coincidentally -- it was also the final season in which a service academy (Army) won the national championship, in no small part because the top players of the early 1940s enlisted in the military for the war. After WWII ended, the G.I. Bill led to an explosion in college enrollment and fan interest that allowed college football to become the countrywide obsession you see today. For these reasons, I'm going to set 1946 as the first season of results that count toward our classification.
Finally, for each team, I'll list their cumulative W-L-T record since 1946, their winningest coach, their best AP poll finish, and their best SRS season, as well as their median SRS season (to show what a typical year in the program is like).
The Top 20 College Football Programs of the Modern Era: Schools #11-20
Just Missed the Cut: Iowa (+5.85), Purdue (+5.89), Texas A&M (+6.89), Washington (+7.33), Ole Miss (+7.61)

Median Season: 1996 (+7.78 - 30th, 6-6)
18. Arkansas Razorbacks (+8.95)
Record: 443-269-14 (.620)

Best AP Finish: #1 (1957)
Best Season: 1983 (+22.09 - 1st). Setback vs. Texas in 2nd game costs talented Tigers (11-1), who close season with 10 straight Ws but can't overtake consensus champ Miami (11-1) or #2 Nebraska (12-1) in final polls.
Median Season: 1995 (+10.75 - 16th, 8-4)
16. Miami Hurricanes (+10.00)

Best AP Finish: #1 (1983, 1987, 1989, 1991, 2001)
Best Season: 2001 (+25.49 - 1st). Avenging 2000 BCS snub, megatalented Canes (12-0) rip through early opponents with ferocity. Surviving late-season scares vs. BC & VT, Miami crushes #4 Nebraska in Rose Bowl to cap one of the great team seasons ever.
Median Season: 1984 (+10.03 - 18th, 8-5)
15. UCLA Bruins (+10.04)
Record: 438-250-19 (0.633)
Top Coach: Terry Donahue (1976-95)
Best AP Finish: #2 (1954)
Best Season: 1952 (+22.35 - 5th). Opening year with 7-pt W over Ore., UCLA (8-1) gets stronger as season goes on, with 57-0 W over Ore. St. in penultimate game. But instead of undefeated RS, Bruins lose tough finale 14-12 vs. archrival USC, costing Rose Bowl bid.
Median Season: 2001 (+11.17 - 18th, 7-4)
14. Georgia Bulldogs (+10.42)
Record: 475-238-22 (.661)
Top Coach: Vince Dooley (1964-88)
Best AP Finish: #1 (1980)
Best Season: 1946 (+21.97 - 5th). Undefeated Dawgs (11-0) use dominant offense (35.6 PPG, 2nd in NCAA) to blast through RS by avg. 27-pt mgn./game. In Sugar Bowl, UGA bests UNC 20-10, though AP still ranks them behind ND (8-0-1) & Army (9-0-1).
Median Season: 1984 (+10.28 - 16th, 7-4-1)
13. LSU Tigers (+10.52)
Record: 453-253-24 (.637)
Top Coach: Charles McClendon (1962-79)
Best AP Finish: #1 (1958, 2007)
Best Season: 1958 (+21.35 - 2nd). Innovating a 3-platoon substitution system, Tigers (11-0) and "Chinese Bandits" D (4.8 PA/G!) only allow 1 opp. (Duke) to score more than 7 pts. After 62-0 demolition of Tulane in RS finale, LSU shuts down #12 Clemson for 7-0 Sugar Bowl W & nat'l title.
Median Season: 1955 (+10.12 - 21st, 3-5-2)
12. Florida State Seminoles (+10.97)
Record: 429-206-16 (.671)
Top Coach: Bobby Bowden (1976-2009)
Best AP Finish: #1 (1993, 1999)
Best Season: 1987 (+24.99 - 1st). One of Bowden's most talented squads ever would win NC if not for Oct. slip-up vs. Miami; Noles (11-1) blow 4Q lead when Michael Irvin takes 73-yard pass to paydirt. Despite slipping past Nebraska in
Orange Fiesta, FSU can only watch as Canes beat #1 OU for undisputed title.
Median Season: 1968 (+11.76 - 19th, 8-3)
11. Tennessee Volunteers (+11.89)
Record: 497-218-24 (.689)
Top Coach: Phillip Fulmer (1992-2008)
Best AP Finish: #1 (1951, 1998)
Best Season: 1956 (+24.72 - 1st). Outscoring foes by 19 PPG, Vols (10-1) rattle off 10 straight Ws, including 3 shutouts & an upset of #2 GT in Atlanta. An impressive W over Baylor in Sugar could propel UT to title, but instead Vols deliver ugly 13-7 loss most notable for mid-game brawl.
Median Season: 1992 (+11.21 - 14th, 9-3)

One of the Podcasters stated "the Sheppard subway carries as many people as some of the bus routes". The Sheppard subway starts at Yonge and goes east crossing Bayview, Leslie and ending at Don Mills. Bus routes go right across the city. Sheppard subway, 4 intersections. Bus routes, Finch, Warden, Steeles, at least 20 intersections. Yup, makes perfect sense to me comparing a 4 intersection route subway route to a 20 intersection route. I wonder if the 4 intersection subway route was increased to another 2, 4, and/or 6 intersections would the ridership surpass that of bus routes? Andrew Phillips, Gordon Barthos, Kerry Gillespie and Leslie Papp, can you answer that?

Cork 1-12 Down 2-06
Updated: Tuesday, 06 May 2014 08:02 | Comments
Cork produced a storming last quarter to deny Down in a pulsating Irish Daily Star Camogie League Division 2 final in Clane.
Former All-Ireland senior winning captain, Amanda O'Regan shot a goal and seven points for the Leesiders, while Caroline Sugrue was awarded player of the match.
Catherine McGourty and Fionnuala Carr fought hard for Down but they could not deny their rampaging opponents in the closing stages.
Down got off to a dream start with a sixth minute goal from Nicola Braniff and with McGourty amongst the points, they lead by one at half time, 1-04 to 0-06.
Brid McGourty and O'Regan exchanged scores early in the second half before Jessica Kavanagh saved Catherine McGourty's penalty in one of the game's defining moments.
McGourty made up for that with a goal to put Michael McCullough's side clear but they failed to score again.
O'Regan brought the teams level with a goal from a 25th minute free that dropped just under the crossbar and late points from O'Regan, Laura Treacy and Sugrue sealed the verdict.
CORK: J Kavanagh, S Buckley, L O'Sullivan, N O'Keeffe, S Harrington, C Foley, S Hayes, L Treacy (0-01), H O'Regan, C Sugrue( 0-03), C Desmond, S O'Neill (0-01), J Hennigan, A O'Regan (1-07), M Cahalane
DOWN: M McNally, J Fowler, C McGovern, K Tinnelly, C Rocks, F Carr, E McCormick, A Keown, L McPolin, C McGourty (1-03), P Gribben, K McMullan, N Mallon (0-02), N Branniff (0-01), B McGourty (0-01)

I found it!
I was able to buy the yarn :D from Royal Yarns.com. I saw the yarn on ebay then when I emailed them asking if they had the other color I needed they told me it was on their website..Royal Yarns. So I ordered it and got a $5.00 OFF for placing my order online. I got the yarn today only FOUR days after ordering!! I am impressed and will be confident ordering from them again.
The yarn is much "thinner" than I expected. The balls are small too. So now I am wondering just how big or SMALL this bag will end up being.
I think a Chenille yarn in pretty colors might work just as well. That was my thought when I opened the bag and saw the yarn.
I need to buy the circular needles this weekend then I will begin the bag. I'll let you all know how it comes out. :XX:

I understand the urge to condemn early voting based on the argument that this is just a vehicle for lazy voters or the sort of absurd 40 percent each side theory, but there are good reasons for early voting in dense urban areas. I am originally from Sikeston and would not even consider voting early if offered because polling place lines tend to be fairly short. I now live in Houston, Texas, (the fourth largest city) and the lines formed at polls on election day are huge. Mostly this occurs during national elections but even at big state level (i.e. governor), the crowds are large on election day.
The 2004 presidential election, I voted early and waited over one hour to vote. People had to wait for up to 10 hours to vote, from what I have read, in other urban places. This gives the perception of voter disenfranchisement and only results in recounts which cost the taxpayers money. People (main stream media) will find anything to claim victim status. See Ohio.
I believe early voting has its place - not necessarily in your place, but it does have a place. Today's voters are more informed (the internet) or misinformed (MSM} than voters of the past. I agree early voting is not right in all places; it makes total sense in some places. Keep up the good work otherwise.

Our Backyard
Located in the heart of Southwest Montana, the Madison Valley Ranch offers anglers unparalleled access to wild trout on renowned Blue Ribbon Rivers, but that's not all…There are plenty of outdoor activities and attractions to fulfill everyone's desires! Give Elizabeth a call to learn more on how your custom package could integrate some of the spectacular sights in our backyard.
Only 72 miles from the Madison Valley Ranch, Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 as America's first National Park. Exploring this national treasure is an excellent sightseeing activity. Experience Old Faithful, the most popular geyser in the world, or view the colorful Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. View bears and wolves, elk and buffalo in the Lamar and Hayden valleys. Learn about the history of national parks and the National Park Service. Hiking, camping, fishing, or attending a Ranger-led program or a Yellowstone Institute class, are also popular activities.
The famous historical mining ghost towns of Virginia City and Nevada City are only 15 miles from the Madison Valley Ranch, and are certainly worth exploring. Virginia Citysits high in the Rocky Mountains in a bowl along Alder Gulch, where gold was first discovered in 1863, during the Civil War. Within a year the town grew to over 10,000 and became the Territorial Capital in 1865. Today, Virginia City, Montana's main street provides an exceptional example of commercial architecture from the later eighteen hundreds. Many of the original structures are filled with original artifacts. The buildings are both historic and architecturally significant, especially for the Victorian era. This is cultural tourism at its best and self guided tours are available.
Full and half day horseback rides can be arranged in advance of your visit. We use Bar 88 for our horse outings. Their goal is to provide you with a Montana horseback ride tailored to meet specific riding experience and adventure requests of your group. They will customize your horseback ride based upon individual preferences and time schedules in order to provide you with personal service and customer satisfaction. They use well trained horses accustom to mountain trail riding. Rides are conducted on a variety of trails in the Beaverhead National Forest and mountain elevations range from 5,000-11,000 feet.
Montana's first and best-known state park showcases one of the most highly decorated limestone caverns in the Northwest at the Lewis and Clark Caverns. Naturally air conditioned, these spectacular caves, lined with stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and helicitites, date back through time. See the geologic development, the history of early exploration and gain an insight into the delicate ecology of this world without light. Plan to spend a minimum of two hours to hike two miles on a guided tour through the caverns. The park also provides hiking trails, a visitor center, an amphitheater, and several picnic areas.
Bozeman, West Yellowstone, Big Sky, and Ennis all have many fine shops, galleries and restaurants. Be sure to ask about specifics when you arrive and we'll chart out a day of shopping and touring that fits your ideal itinerary. Driving around Southwest Montana is a great way to take in the vast mountain vistas and we can point you in the right direction for a day of sightseeing.
Madison Meadows Golf Course is a 9-hole course located in the scenic Madison valley. This challenging course runs through the foothills of the Gravelly Mountain Range. Host to one of Montana's toughest Par 5′s, this course brings you back time after time. Although Madison Meadows is always active, it's easy to get a tee time.
In Southwest Montana, the outdoor recreational opportunities and wildlife abound. Hiking, fly fishing in alpine lakes, bird watching and photography are all great activities that capture the spirit of Big Sky country! Whether you prefer a full day hike, or just want to walk out the path from the lodge, the wildlife is plentiful. You are apt to see deer, geese, sandhill cranes, ducks, birds of prey, and fox as you explore the countryside.
We look forward to helping you chose an ideal itinerary for your Montana experience!

Zenosense | ZENO: MRSA Detection & Protection/Lung Cancer Detection
Zenosense Inc. is the holder of an exclusive global license agreement to develop and market effective medical devices for use in hospitals and primary healthcare settings targeting the early detection of both deadly bacteria and certain cancers in the exhaled breath of patients. Two devices are currently under development; a device intended to detect the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus "Super-Bug" (MRSA); and a device intended to detect Lung Cancer. Using a common Electronic Nose technology platform, the devices analyze Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which are present in the exhaled breath of patients, scanning for certain biomarkers which can indicate the presence of infection/illness.
Electronically "Sniffing out" disease is based on natural processes: By example, highly trained dogs have been able to recognize prostate cancer-specific VOCs and detect prostate cancer in urine samples with 98% accuracy. While humans have roughly five million olfactory cells in their noses, dogs have about 200 million. This natural, learned detection by multiple sensors is analogous to the Zenosense technology platform which, by clever electronic processing, effectively utilizes an infinite number of sensors and software that "learns" to recognize the relevant VOCs.
Development work is being carried out by a team of experts in nanotechnology, sensors, high-level mathematics, molecular biology and biochemistry. Collaborations and partnerships are also in place with hospitals, universities and a private laboratory in the fields of sensors, polymer electrochemistry, microbiology, infectious disease, pneumology, chromatography and microorganism identification.

SV Mattersburg 1-2 Arsenal – 25/07/06 – (Friendly) 26 July, 2006Posted by lasagnechef in Uncategorized.
Arsenal beat Mattersburg by two goals to one last night with a few world cup stars making their return to the team. Tomas Rosicky making his debut, Kolo Toure, Eboue and Adebayor all coming on at the hour mark. We had a good start and in the fifth minute Traore whipped in a low cross which Aliadiere volleyed into the back of the net at the near post. Then after this both Hleb and Aliadiere had a chance to make it 2-0 with Hleb's shot saved when one-on-one with the 'keeper and then Aliadiere headed the ball over the bar from the rebound.
Mattersburg had a few attacks, in the 17th minute Bernd Kaintz shot in low which Zinedine Cygan blocked to send it for a corner. Goce Sedloski also had a chance from a free kick but it hit the wall from which Morz powered in a shot which forced Almunia to make a good save. However Manuel had to make an ever better save when Morz again tried to take a touch around him but Almunia lunged and pushed the ball away.
At Half time Almmunia was replaced for Poom and Lupoli came on for Bendtner. Nicklas couldn't really get in the game and didn't look too sharp; he just announced this week that he is staying with Arsenal after threatening to go to Rangers. Another performance that stood out in the first half was Alex Song, however, he had a brilliant game and easily his best for Arsenal. He was showing what Wenger must've seen in him and made some bright passes and some clever play. Don't forget who we were playing though, but at least he's making progress.
The Austrian side nearly got an equaliser with Poom spilling a shot from Kaintz but it was Arsenal who looked most threatening and made it 2-0 on 53 minutes. Song did well to set up Justin Hoyte who placed it into the net past the 'keeper. On the hour mark we saw some more exiting substitutions: Adebayor, Toure, Eboue and Rosicky came on for Aliadiere, Cygan, Hoyte, Randall with Toure taking the armband. Our new Czech midfielder Rosicky went over to the left flank with Hleb taking the right. We looked quite a threatening team on paper but it was the home side who were making progress. In the 70th minute Patocka crossed in a free kick from the left and Patrick Burger headed it against the bar. A close shave. But not long after Patocka scored from a header off the woodwork to make it 2-1. Our defending from the corners and set pieces wasn't amazing which we were made to pay the price for, nearly 2 goals in quick succession and it would have levelled the scores. Thankfully there were no more goals and we held out to win 2-1. The game had impressive performances from Song, Almunia, Traore and Lupoli with Rosicky showing glimpses of some exiting talent, I'm looking forward to seeing him more in an Arsenal Shirt. Our next friendly of this pre-season tour of Austria is against Schwadorf on Monday 31st July.
- 1. Oba - 26 July, 2006
Just gone thru ur review nd ur site has always been spot on. I am a Nigeria and really do lOve Arsenal. Very happi for the performance of Song. I guess we wuld have to wait on him and lest we forget, he was signed having played in the defense and now moved to the midfield. I'm sure AW has his reason.
We sure need some experience buy, but the window is still open for 5 weeks. The problem is the dead line for August 8 to have our list submitted to UEFA.
Once again… Nice site and ur on my bookmark.

New, 7:42 a.m.
Dallas Area Rapid Transit doesn't make route changes very often — "maybe twice a year," says spokesman Mark Ball. Today is one of those times.
Most of those alterations, which can be found here, are minor: Routes with low to nonexistent ridership will be dropped, and others will have their schedules tweaked to "improve on-time performance." Also, the express bus from Northwest Plano Park & Ride into downtown Dallas gets an earlier pick-up, per increasing demand.
Folks landing at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport after 1 a.m. will no longer be able to travel from Terminal A to the Belt Line Station; that early-morning run on Route 500 has been axed. "That ridership was zero to begin with," says Ball. "It was so low we don't feel we'll be impacting a lot of people at all."
The most significant change, notes Ball, deals with "what's going on around SMU with the George W. Bush Presidential Center and the new dorms they're building out there." Route 521 — which serves Mockingbird Station, the Cityplace-Uptown Station and Northwest Highway — will add weekend service.
"If people want to participate by going to the center, which will be open on weekends, the new 521 will be available to them," says Ball. "Young students also want access to the Dallas area, so we'll provide service to them as well."

Post subject: cold water travel steriliser?
We are going to turkey in sept and we will be taking milton tabs with us to sterilise the babys bottles. Can these be used with any tub ie. a tupperware box or do I need to buy a proper travel steriliser?
Posted: Mon Jun 28, 2010 3:20 pm
Post subject:
ive used them with my first child (shes 18 now lol) but im sure any tub is fine, its only a plastic tub at the end of the day. Just give it a good clean first, maybe put some quite hot water in it then put a tablet in to clean it before you start using it but i cant see any difference
Posted: Mon Jun 28, 2010 3:27 pm
Post subject:
I used one of those klip top tubs with milton fluid and it worked fine. You just need to make sure it is clean and that the stuff you are sterilising is fully submerged. I think you need to leave the stuff in for at least 20 minutes too.

by 2Pac
In discussions of rap music (and popular music in general), people often forget that there is not always a direct correlation between personal experience and songwriting. Michael Eric Dyson describes this problem as a "thudding literalism" that limits the critic's ability to take in the full scope of a song's meaning. Instead of asking, "What does it mean that millions of young people listen to and identify with Tupac?" critics ask, "Is Tupac for real? Is he positive or negative?" As a rapper, he is evaluated based on whether his work is a good or bad influence—an approach that fails to ask the key question: "Why is he so important?" or, better yet, "What is he actually saying?"
A part of Tupac's brilliance as a writer was his ability to prolifically produce rhymes that were often based on allegory and storytelling. He wrote about prison life before ever being imprisoned, and about drug dealing even though he was never a dealer himself. He described the harsh streets he'd grown up on, making himself into every character: the gangsters, the pimps, the crack dealers and street kids. The writing was more a statement of solidarity than a strict memoir: when they were not his own stories, they were the stories of his friends, his brothers and so-called "n----z" (which Pac said stood for Never Ignorant, Getting Goals Accomplished). "Me Against the World was all out of my heart…I just try to speak about things that affect me and about things that effect our community, and I try to do it from the viewpoint of the watcher…sometimes it's just allegories or fables that have a moral, or an underlying theme" (The Lost Prison Tapes). He self-consciously molded his voice and image to identify himself with other black youth, especially those from the neglected ghettos and housing projects who had experienced violence, racism, and belittling poverty.
Of course, as Pac's life descended into a very public mess of trouble with the law, some people came to believe that this was all posturing for Tupac, that he was putting on a show of gangsterism and toughness in order to rake in the dough. But when it comes to understanding Tupac's art, criticizing him for this so-called posturing tends to fall into that "thudding literalism." It seems to demand that every performance somehow align with the rapper's "real" experience—a demand that is rarely put on any other kind of writing. The very idea of "realness" can be harmful (it seems to have encouraged Tupac to become more and more embroiled in the violence he rapped about), and it certainly prevents a more complicated reading of Tupac's writing as poetry or social commentary.
"Dear Mama" is one of Tupac's more autobiographical songs, addressing his own mother in a letter of appreciation that is also full of disappointment and conflict. But even in this highly personal tome, Pac embellishes the details, presenting himself as a dealer who'd done jail time. In fact, at the time of writing, he was a hard-working and successful musician whose success allowed him to care for his mother monetarily even when he had not fully forgiven her emotionally. Ironically, by the time the album was released, Pac was doing jail time. "Dear Mama" turns out to be a blend of autobiography, storytelling, and dark prediction.
By most accounts, Tupac's "thug poetry" was important because he told a story that millions of other poor black youth could identify with. His writing was descriptive rather than prescriptive, meaning he described the world he lived in rather than scripting a suggested solution or proposing a more optimistic outlook. Even if you don't agree with his pessimism or don't identify with his pain, the meaning of Tupac's songwriting is best analyzed as a description of the conditions he believed were forced on poor black Americans by poverty and racism. In a heart-breaking song like "Dear Mama," it's clear that Tupac's writing was more social critique through storytelling than the "gangster posturing" he is accused of. Pac was as self-conscious and image-conscious as any superstar, but the picture of reality that he painted was also deeply, sometimes disturbingly, resonant. The fact that he talked so openly about a hard childhood made him an accessible hero to his fans.
Sometimes hindsight is 20/20, especially when it comes to controversial writing. After all, it's a bit more rare these days to accuse The Catcher in the Rye of encouraging the youth of today to go to prostitutes and/or slowly self-destruct, even though at least one person has publicly blamed the book for a violent act. Catcher's protagonist, Holden Caulfield has been described as going through "depression, nervous breakdown, impulsive spending, sexual exploration, vulgarity, and other erratic behavior," all words that could be used to summarize Tupac's opus. And these days, the book is required reading in many high schools.
Lots of people dedicated to Pac's writing feel like he should also be required reading, and that was also what Tupac hoped for. His literary idol was Shakespeare and he wanted to use rap to teach literacy. In addition to rap, he wrote volumes of poetry. He was a huge book-worm, widely informed about everyone from Alice Walker to Sun Tzu to Teilhard de Chardin (if you're thinking, "who's that?", don't worry—the man was seriously well-read). His personal bookshelf included The Catcher in the Rye and Native Son; while he was in prison he read Machiavelli and Maya Angelou. In "Dear Mama," it's evident that Tupac became what he'd aspired to become: "He narrated his life as a road map to suffering, wrenching a brutal victory from the ghetto he so loved, and the fame and fortune that both blessed and cursed him. As the supreme symbol of his generation, he embodied its reckless, audacious liberties and its ominous hopelessness," wrote Michael Eric Dyson (138). "Dear Mama" is Tupac at his best: a proud poet from the ghetto who was the voice of a disillusioned generation.

Will minority voters show up in November?
Elections are determined by the voters. Now before you say that is as self evident as saying, the World Series are won by baseball players, consider this underlying point
Broad demographic stats matter but elections turn on those who take the time to register and also cast a vote. And the second can't happen without the first.
Nationally, the number of black and Hispanic registered voters has fallen sharply since 2008 when the influx of new voters, especially minority voters swept Barack Obama into the White House. And eight years earlier, George W. Bush set new marks in attracting Hispanic voters. Without this historic turnout GWB would not have won over Al Gore.
But right now, the number of registered blacks and Hispanics is down 2 million from 2008 to late 2010. Among blacks the decline is 7 percent, to just over 16 million. Among whites, it dropped 6 percent to 104 million.
A Washington Post story points out that voter rolls usually drops in non-presidential election years and registrations fell among whites as well. However, for it has been nearly four decades since the number of registered Hispanics has dropped significantly. The decline among Hispanics is over 28 percent in New Mexico and about 10 percent in Florida, both swing states.
So how will the decline in registered black an Hispanic voters impact the race for the White House? I'm guessing that the Romney and Obama campaigns have a substantial recruitment effort ahead of them. Obama is going to have to hold onto a large portion of the black and Hispanic vote he won in 2008 while Romney is going to have to approach George Bush-like success upon Hispanic voters. Both of those challenges are made more diffcult when so many potential voters aren't registered.
