Poll Finds New Opponent Fails to Lift Mrs. Clinton
By ADAM NAGOURNEY with MARJORIE CONNELLY
Published: June 13, 2000
Despite a change of opponent from the New York City mayor to a Long Island congressman, a steady diet of television advertising and a vigorous schedule of trips around the state, Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign for Senate appears to be largely stuck in place, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll.
Mrs. Clinton now finds herself locked in a tight race with Rick A. Lazio, an opponent so unknown that most New Yorkers were unable to offer any opinion of him.
Mr. Lazio's selection to replace Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani as the Republican candidate for Senate has scrambled the dynamics of the contest, the poll found. Mrs. Clinton is swamping Mr. Lazio in New York City as a notable number of Mr. Giuliani's supporters have turned to Mrs. Clinton, reverting to historical party voting habits. Conversely, Mr. Lazio, as a more conventional statewide Republican candidate than the mayor, seems to be blunting what had been Mrs. Clinton's unusually competitive position in upstate New York, which usually favors Republicans by large margins.
With her new opponent, Mrs. Clinton appears to have gained an advantage on at least one major issue, her call for registration of new guns, which New Yorkers agree with by an overwhelming measure. But Mr. Lazio, a four-term congressman from Suffolk County, is now viewed by New Yorkers as equally able to get along with colleagues in the Senate, suggesting that Mrs. Clinton has lost what her aides had believed was one of her most persuasive arguments against sending the mayor of New York to Washington.
Still, the overall portrait of this tumultuous race remains essentially unchanged from when Mr. Giuliani was Mrs. Clinton's opponent, notwithstanding the large difference in reputation and name recognition between Mr. Giuliani and the 42-year-old congressman. If the election were held today, Mrs. Clinton, 52, would have the support of 44 percent of likely voters, compared with 39 percent for Mr. Lazio, a difference that is statistically insignificant, according to the poll, which was taken from June 4 through June 10.
When undecided voters were pushed to state a preference, Mrs. Clinton had 49 percent to Mr. Lazio's 43 percent. In the last Times/CBS poll, in April, Mrs. Clinton led Mr. Giuliani by 8 percentage points, although that was in the midst of the fallout over Mr. Giuliani's handling of the Patrick M. Dorismond shooting by the police.
The poll suggests some reason for concern for Mrs. Clinton and her advisers. The broad expression of support for Mr. Lazio -- he is doing almost precisely as well as Mr. Giuliani did before he dropped out -- came notwithstanding the fact that more than half of New Yorkers said they did not know enough about him to offer an opinion about the Republican candidate for Senate. As such, it is compelling evidence of the resilience of anti-Clinton attitude in the state.
''I am going to vote for Lazio because he is not Hillary,'' John Werner, a Republican software engineer from Rochester, declared in a follow-up interview, even though he said he did not have enough information about Mr. Lazio to say whether he liked him. ''I'm going to vote for someone who has been a resident of New York State as opposed to someone who has recently moved into the state.''
What is more, Mrs. Clinton's position in the polls has remained almost stagnant after a period in which her campaign has introduced four new television advertisements and orchestrated an elaborate convention in which she was designated to run for office. It also came during a time of turmoil for the Republicans, who watched Mr. Giuliani withdraw from the race to deal with a diagnosis of cancer and a collapsing marriage.
That said, there are some hopeful indicators for the first lady. Mr. Lazio remains an unknown quantity to most New Yorkers, giving Mrs. Clinton's campaign a chance to fill in those blanks, which her aides said she was intending to do soon with speeches and television ads intended to portray him as too conservative for New York. There was a slight increase in the number of New Yorkers with a favorable impression of Mrs. Clinton, from 39 percent in April to 45 percent now.
The reversion of the contest to a more traditional Democratic-Republican model, given Mr. Lazio's more traditional Republican views, shows signs of playing to her advantage, on issues ranging from gun registration to tax cuts. And Mr. Lazio's attempt to attack Mrs. Clinton for running for office in a state where she did not live before January, as well as his argument that he is better qualified to sit in Congress because he has a record of public service, has yet to show signs of taking hold.
There has been no appreciable increase in the number of voters who expressed distress at Mrs. Clinton's recent move to New York, and roughly the same number of respondents said that Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Lazio had the ''right kind of experience to be a senator from New York State.''
The Times/CBS News Poll involved 1,384 registered voters across New York. The margin of sampling error for all registered voters is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Hello there...
I'm having an issue with bbPress German Translation and Events Manager.
I translated bbPress uploading the files bbpress-de_DE.mo and bbpress-de_DE.po to ../wp-content/languages/bbpress/
Whenever I active Events Manager I cannot access the admin panel anymore, it turns white.
When I delete the folder bbpress from ../wp-content/languages/bbpress/ and put bbpress back to English version, then it works and I am able to both use Events Manager and bbPress.
I think there's and issue with the translating file, but no idea where that conflict originates.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Thanks in advance

Many people who are considering having DBS surgery attend the monthly meetings to learn about DBS, what it can and can't do, the benefits and risks involved,and to have many personal questions answered by people who have already had the surgery. This information is useful in their decision-making process, and if accepted as a candidate for DBS surgery, helps them decide if they want to proceed with DBS.
People who have experienced DBS also come to share their experiences and offer their support throughout the DBS process.
Care partners, family members, and friends of those people considering DBS surgery also join in at
Bionic Brigade meetings. Although the group began as a DBS support group for those dealing with Parkinson's Disease, as the conditions treated by DBS have expanded, so had our group! We now have members who have Parkinson's Disease(PD), Essential Tremor (ET) and a few who have Dystonia.
Monthly Bionic Brigade meetings provide an open discussion forum within a friendly, upbeat and supportive environment. There is no charge to become a member of the support group or to attend any of our meetings.

first off Great Plugin!
has become staple of my wordpress builds.
unfortunately i have found a small issue
the "file_gallery_cancel_file_deletion_if_attachment_copies" function will always cancels the deletion as it modifies the $file variable
to be relative to the uploads directory (e.g."yyyy/mm/filename.ext") rather than absolute.
if there are no copies it simply returns this altered $file variable causing the wordpress function to look for files relative to the posts.php file where the function resides.
simple fix is to use a copy of $file variable internaly and return the original at the bottom (and of course and empty string if there were copies).
keep up the good work!

Gary Anderson did not care that he was putting kids at risk of lead poisoning by ignoring obvious lead hazards. If he could certify this house as lead safe when it had so many obvious defects, how many other hazards has he ignored?
Do not use him if you want things done right or care about the safety of your family. If you are buying or renting a house that he inspected, insist on a different inspector. I think he will say anything for the right price.

After a 'Kafkaesque' Ordeal, Seeker of Asylum Presses Case
By CELIA W. DUGGER
Published: April 1, 1997
Edwin Bulus says he fled to America almost two years ago to escape torture at the hands of Nigeria's military dictatorship after his brother was charged with treason for plotting a coup. A 1996 State Department report describes the death sentence meted out to Lieut. Col. Happy Bulus, a punishment later commuted to 25 years, and the conviction of coup plotters' families for ''antiregime'' activities.
But Edwin Bulus, 28, has not found freedom in the United States. Rather, he has been detained by immigration authorities since his arrival at Kennedy International Airport in May 1995. After a melee shut down the Esmor detention center in Elizabeth, N.J., where he was first held, Mr. Bulus said immigration officials threw away his identity documents and transferred him to the Union County Jail in New Jersey.
In the county jail, Mr. Bulus said, guards stomped on him, forced him to kneel naked for hours, pushed his head in a toilet, left him to sleep naked on a bare mattress and subjected him to racist invective. Twelve guards were subsequently indicted for beating and degrading 25 Esmor detainees, including Mr. Bulus, and are expected to be tried later this year.
''There is no easy way to freedom,'' Mr. Bulus said on Saturday in a telephone interview.
He has been treated for depression since a friend told him during his first month in detention that his father had been tortured and died in police custody in Nigeria and that his mother died shortly after being released from police custody, according to his medical records from Esmor.
A month ago, immigration officials denied Mr. Bulus's plea that he be paroled while his asylum case is pending. In a two-page letter dated Feb. 24, Fran Holmes, acting district director of the Philadelphia office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, said his use of false documents to enter the country showed that he might abscond if released. She also said he would be moved to another detention center better able to treat his mental condition.
Ms. Holmes said yesterday that it would not be appropriate for her to comment on his particular case. ''I have no recollection of that case,'' she said. ''We see a lot of them.''
Today, Mr. Bulus may have another chance at release. He is scheduled for an interview with an immigration officer trained in asylum law in York, Pa., at the York County Prison, the eighth place he has been detained. At the interview, usually conducted soon after an asylum seeker arrives in this country, the officer will consider whether to recommend that he be paroled, his Philadelphia lawyer, Susan G. Toler, said.
''Maybe the I.N.S. is looking for a way to do the right thing,'' said Joan Friedland, a lawyer with the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center who has represented Mr. Bulus while he has been detained for the last five weeks at the Krome detention Center in Miami. Mr. Bulus was to be transferred to York from Miami yesterday, his lawyers said.
Nicholas Rizza, refugee coordinator for Amnesty International U.S.A., called the immigration service's handling of Mr. Bulus's case ''Kafkaesque squared.''
While people caught entering the country with false papers are typically detained, advocates say Mr. Bulus's case is unusual because of the length and harshness of his detention and because his asylum claim centers on documents he said had been thrown away by immigration officials.
An immigration judge denied Mr. Bulus's request for asylum in September 1995, citing his inability to prove his identity. This September, the Board of Immigration Appeals, the highest administrative tribunal in the immigration system, granted Mr. Bulus a stay of deportation after examining new evidence of his identity submitted by Ms. Toler, including photo identity cards and affidavits from a cousin and a friend attesting to his identity.
The board is now considering whether to reopen his asylum claim.
Mr. Bulus's hearing occurs as the immigration service prepares later this month to carry out a new law adopted last year that will give the service greater authority to quickly send asylum seekers who are believed to have weak claims back to their home countries.
Under the new law, asylum seekers who enter the United States with false documents or with no documents will be returned to their home countries unless they can convince an immigration officer or an immigration judge within nine days of their arrival that they have a ''credible fear'' of persecution.
Under the old law, asylum seekers were admitted to the country and afforded extensive appeal rights to the Federal courts, though the immigration service had the authority to detain them throughout the process.
''An agency that has so much discretion already and that has abused its discretion so consistently is rewarded under the new law with even more discretion,'' said Ms. Friedland, one of Mr. Bulus's lawyers. ''Now the I.N.S. will be able to send people home, not just lock them up.''
But Russell A. Bergeron Jr., a spokesman for the service who was not familiar with Mr. Bulus's case, said the new law has enough safeguards to insure asylum seekers will be fairly treated. ''There's a system of checks and balances so the credibility of an applicant is not decided by just one person,'' he said. ''A qualified officer will decide on the applicant's credibility and that is subject to review by a supervisory officer and an immigration judge.''

Fifty years have passed since the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the birth control pill for sale with a doctor's prescription. Now ninety-eight percent of all women will use contraception during their lifetimes, and one-third of those will use birth control pills. Despite such widespread acceptance of family planning, a determined minority has taken advantage of majority complacency to campaign for state legislation that would make it harder for a woman to acquire emergency contraception (also called EC) that is now supposed to be available over the counter or even to obtain prescribed birth control pills.
Five states already enable pharmacists to refuse to supply contraception without any protection for the consumer – in two states, dispensers can deny any drug whatsoever and in three the so-called conscience clauses extend to any employee of the pharmacy or other medical institution, including clerks. These laws put the burden on the woman to find a willing pharmacist, rather than on the pharmacy to find a way to fulfill its mandated responsibility. They appear to accept the charge that emergency contraception causes abortion, which it does not. EC works the same way birth control pills work, by inhibiting ovulation.
What has been submerged in the campaign to prioritize the moral and religious concerns of some pharmacists are the moral, religious, and legal rights of women who need and are entitled to access to contraception. The industry standard set by the American Pharmaceutical Association states that if a pharmacist refuses to fill a prescription, established systems must "ensure patient access to legally prescribed therapy." Refusal to adhere to such a policy is an infringement on the right of women to exercise their own conscientious choices when it comes to reproductive health care.
Because access to emergency contraception without a prescription is limited to women 17 and older, EC is kept behind the counter anyway and requires a pharmacist to dispense it. The pharmacist's role in the distribution of emergency contraception has provided the entry point for its opponents. They use appeals to religious liberty and spurious claims as to how the emergency pills actually work to win laws that legalize so-called pharmacy refusal without any recourse for the patient-consumer. But the laws can go further; Arizona's law covers any drug or device intended to inhibit or prevent implantation of a fertilized ovum, which would include monthly pills. Many states have become a battleground for this issue, with opposing bills vying for support in state legislatures.
But even where consumers and patients are supposedly protected, women experience problems. Some pharmacists have refused any kind of birth control pills to teenagers who have a doctor's prescription, simply because they disapprove of teenagers having sex. Others have denied women emergency contraception based on personal judgments about the medication or the woman's behavior.
Enacting a clear national standard would ensure access for all women. It would mean women at special risk – younger women, women in rural areas, or those living in ideologically conservative jurisdictions – would all have the same rights. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) have introduced such a bill. The Access to Birth Control (ABC) Act will stop pharmacies from refusing to sell contraceptives because of a pharmacy employee's religious beliefs, while protecting the right of individual pharmacists to refuse to fill a prescription. It will place the burden on the pharmacy to accommodate the patient's needs by requiring that pharmacies help women obtain the medication they need without delay.
There is certainly a role for state licensing and regulation of pharmacies and pharmacists. But only a federal law can protect women's constitutional right to obtain contraception in every corner of the land regardless of the religious beliefs of individual pharmacists. Swift passage of the Access to Birth Control Act will make the right of women to control their fertility – a hallmark of the modern belief in gender equality – a right they can count on.

Payroll Management
Ineffective payroll management and shoddy payroll systems can result in personal liability (including JAIL TIME) for non-compliance.
Business Management Daily helps our readers with information on payroll processing and tips on timesheets that will help you to implement payroll programs that pay off.
It's a frequently recurring headache for employers and the IRS: Determining whether the value of frequent-flier miles employees accumulate when they travel on business is a tax-free fringe benefit or taxable compensation. Share this latest guidance with your colleagues in the payroll department.
Wage garnishment is a tricky business for employers. To keep garnishment practices on the straight and narrow, employers must know how to make deductions and how much to deduct; what is considered disposable income; and which garnishment orders take precedence.
State laws usually require that employee participation in direct deposit or paycard programs must be voluntary. States may also allow paycard vendors to charge employees fees, beginning with the second transaction. This chart summarizes the states' direct deposit/paycard rules. "Mandatory" means that a state allows you to make e-payment a condition of employment, if you choose. States that don't have laws aren't included. In all cases, contact your state labor department for the full story.
To encourage employees to sign up for checkless paydays, the federal government declared May direct deposit month. As government declarations go, it's been a success—most employees do have their pay deposited directly into their bank accounts. Most isn't all, however.
Forget the overdone hamburgers and warm soda. Payroll problems can arise even around the most hallowed of institutions, the annual company picnic.
• NOTE: Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays as observed in the District of Columbia are taken into account to determine due dates. Under the federal deposit rules, you're allowed a deposit shortfall of the greater of $100 or 2% of your tax liability. Semiweekly and monthly deposits are for the deposits of FICA and withheld […]
Employees looking for a place to park their youngsters during the summer should consider day camp, including speciality camps. Tax break: Parents may defray day camp expenses through the company's dependent care assistance program, up to the $5,000 annual limit.
As you gear up for employees' summer vacation requests, remember that the FLSA has a lot to say about working hours, calculating overtime when employees take a day off during the week, and uniform policies. Here's help navigating these choppy waters.
Employees' pay and taxable fringe benefits are subject to federal income tax withholding, FICA withholding and state income tax withholding. Employers pay a matching share of FICA taxes; only employers pay federal unemployment taxes, or FUTA.
Question: Included in our new employee handbook is a standard payroll deduction agreement, which employees must sign and return to Payroll. There's a clause in the agreement that says employees' consent to payroll deductions includes, but isn't limited to, miscellaneous deductions—faxes, phone calls and so forth. HR has told employees that if they don't sign the agreement, then no deductions can be made. What does Payroll tell employees?

CANNELTON - Former Cannelton Clerk-Treasurer Mary Freeman Snyder will be the Republican candidate for the city's mayor on the November ballot.
She defeated former Mayor D. Mark Gerlach 161-107 in Tuesday's primary election.
CANNELTON – A Kentucky man allegedly trafficking in narcotics was lodged in the Perry County Jail Saturday night. In all, four people were arrested, including a teenage girl, by Cannelton and Tell City police officers and the Perry County Sheriff's Department.
Cannelton Patrolman David Biever said the investigation began when he stopped a vehicle in a Cannelton cemetery. After approaching the vehicle, Biever said he saw drugs in plain view. A search of the vehicle, he said, turned up meth, crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia.
FORT BRANCH—Gibson Southern used a strong bunting game to beat Tell City 3-1 in PAC girls softball Friday.
"The way they beat us was they small-balled us," said Tell City Coach John Hayes. "Both their hits were bunts and a couple errors we made were on bunts."
Gibson Southern, ranked No. 6 in the state in Class 3A in the coaches poll, scored an unearned run in the first inning with the help of two Tell City throwing errors on bunts.
PAOLI—Kristi Brumfield hit a single and a double and pitched a six-hitter as Perry Central beat Paoli 2-1 in PLAC girls softball Friday.
Brumfield struck out four and walked two, and her teammates backed her with errorless defense.
Perry Central had eight hits and struck out only twice despite having played only one game in the previous 10 days.
"We've been hitting inside off the machine forever," said Perry Central Coach Mark Rothgerber. "We saw the ball really well."
LEOPOLD—Stephen Hayes threw a one-hitter as Perry Central shut out Wood Memorial 2-0 in baseball Friday.
"He really hit his spots tonight," said Perry Central Coach Phil Zellers. "They had a hard time catching up to his fastball and he mixed his curveball in well too."
Hayes struck out five and walked none. The one single he gave up "was about the only hard hit ball for them," said Zellers.
Hayes, Derek Thomas and Andrew Harpenau each hit a single and a double to lead Perry Central's eight-hit attack.
MOUNT VERNON—Tyler Dauby and Ryan Henrickson each won one event to lead Tell City to third place in a nine-team boys track invitational Friday.
Castle dominated the meet with 148 points. Tell City scored 62, just 13 behind runner-up Mount Vernon.
Dauby won the 110-meter high hurdles in 15.37 seconds "against some very good competition," said Tell City Coach Chris Hollinden.
Henrickson won the 400 dash in 50.33. "He looked extremely strong," said Hollinden.

TELL CITY—After being sidelined 11 days by several rainouts, Tell City's baseball team didn't hit the ball as sharply as before but still managed 10 hits in a 6-3 win over Hancock County Friday.
The Marksmen struck out only twice, but they didn't make as solid contact as usual. They had two infield hits, and none of their hits went for extra bases.

well needless to say no matter how many times i argued with him, he won in the end because the contract had been signed and the monies forked over.(mine). I have been paying on this car since 2006 making a 200.00 pmt every two weeks and this is killing me financially. I have had to remodify this loan several times just to hold on to the car and it still does not run good. as it stands i still owe 9,850.00 and i have paid 9,600.00 already and i am still no closer to paying this car off. the book value of this car is less than 5,000.00 today.
I spoke with one of the collectors there and he informed me that on my last payment made 3/7/08 of 200.00 that 106.00 of the payment went for late fees for 14days. I felt very sick to my stomach because I will never get out of this car.

In a nutshell (this is with monthly payments). Say you make this payment 30 days after your last payment. 30 days worth of interest will come out of the payment, and the remaining should go to the principal. Say you make the next payment 45 days later. 45 days of interest will come out of the payment and the rest will apply to principal. Say you make the next payment just 15 days later (because the preceding month you were 15 days late and this month you are ontime). Only 15 days worth of interest comes out of the payment and the rest will apply towards principal. It depends on how many days is was since your last payment (and how your loan is amortizing) as to how much will go to interest and principal.
Also, be careful to add the "late fee" that may be assessed if you are late. This has nothing to do with the late interest accumulated.
Go to an online amortization calculator. This only comes out right if you are ontime, every payment, from here on out. Plug in the amount you owe, plus the term you have left, and the interest rate. You will see a payment. That is how much you have to pay every month, ontime, for your car to be paid off in the time you have left.

is now over with. We are 3-4 with only one tough loss to the Falcons (4-3) to speak of. Vikings (7-1) and Colts (7-0) are the powerhouses in the NFL, and each team we played to the brink of a win. And the Texans (5-3) are a skilled team and Hill nearly sunk us in the first half, having his worst game as a pro. Ill take a 3-4 record and 3-0 in the NFC West after the chaos that the team has been put through. I mean c'mon, between Crabtree and the QB battle and Marvel retires and Frank goes down for a few weeks; weve had our share of turmoil. I expect things to smooth out starting Sunday.
Sun Nov. 8 Titans - 1-6
Thur Nov. 12 Bears - 4-3
Sun Nov. 22 @Packers - 4-3

HARRISBURG (AP) — Pennsylvania state senators gave their approval Wednesday to a major transportation spending proposal that proponents hope will end a long journey to modernize travel in the state and stem its rising backlog of bridges, highways and mass transit agency facilities in need of repairs.
The Senate voted 43-7 on the $2.3 billion bill that tackles Pennsylvania's deteriorating highway system, aging bridges and deficit-strapped mass transit agencies.
The proposal, which is supported by Gov. Tom Corbett, could leave Pennsylvania with among the highest fuel taxes in the nation and higher motorist fees that will rise with inflation.
Approval is expected today in the House, where conservatives objected that it would be the second-largest tax increase in state history. The chamber signaled its support for the measure in a 106-95 preliminary vote Tuesday under considerable pressure from Corbett, the Senate and business groups and labor unions that support transportation legislation.
The proposal would raise gasoline taxes and registration, licensing and other motorist fees to spend $2.3 billion a year more on transportation, an increase of about 40 percent over the amount the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation currently spends. A small slice of the money would go to airports, ports, railways and walking and cycling routes.
"Yes, to the citizens of Pennsylvania, we are going to be asking you to dig deeper into your pockets," said Sen. John Wozniak of Cambria County, the ranking Democrat on the Transportation Committee. "We are not happy about it, but we have the responsibility to govern and to make difficult decisions. It has been almost 15 years since any gasoline taxes in Pennsylvania have been raised. I don't think there is any place in the private sector that has not raised their prices in 15 years."
However, Wozniak and other lawmakers also said the greater good is at stake, including tens of thousands of jobs, the safety of people on the roads and Pennsylvania's economic competitiveness. They warned the cost of doing nothing would be too damaging.
"I don't know of a successful business in this country that didn't invest in themselves at some point in time," said Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Jake Corman, R-Centre. "This is a great investment in ourselves."

Open Government
Firstfuel, which creates energy-related analytics, is an example of a private-sector user of the federal data showcased on alpha.data.gov.
Building on President Barack Obama's Digital Government Strategy, the Presidential Innovation Fellows program has launched an experimental one-page website that showcases "the very best" open data resources at http://alpha.data.gov.
Users of the site can view existing government open data resources in a variety of subject areas, like education, health, energy and commerce, and discover ways in which private-sector entrepreneurs and innovators are using that data to solve problems and benefit the public.
The Digital Government Strategy, published in May 2012, set three broad goals -- all of which involve making data more useful and accessible:
Enable the American people and an increasingly mobile workforce to access high-quality digital government information and services anywhere, anytime, on any device.
Ensure that as the government adjusts to this new digital world, we seize the opportunity to procure and manage devices, applications, and data in smart, secure and affordable ways.
Unlock the power of government data to spur innovation across our Nation and improve the quality of services for the American people.
A White House blog post authored by John Paul Farmer, senior advisor at the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy, and fellows Danny Chapman and Ryan Panchadsaram, says that the effort is in response to the public's demand for open data.
"Over the past few months, through video chats, conference calls, and in-person meetings, thousands of Americans have connected with us to learn and share ideas about our work—and this Administration's commitment—to unleash data from the vaults of the government as fuel for innovation," the post states. "Time and again, we were asked why more people weren't aware of these '"Open Data'" efforts, their numerous benefits for Americans, and how to get engaged."
While the project is experimental, the blog post promises "it will grow and evolve to help catalyze future improvements to the design, content and infrastructure" of www.data.gov, the government's current open data repository of machine-readable datasets.
"2013 promises to be a busy year for Open Data efforts at The White House and across government. But this story isn't just about us. It's about what we can all do together to spur game-changing innovation through the application of Open Data," the blog post states.
The Presidential Innovation Fellows are a collection of innovators from the private sector, non-profit organizations, academia and the federal sector charged with engineering solutions to five projects, one of which is open data initiatives.
Gartner analyst Andrea Di Maio said the new site was "a breath of fresh air," and shows that government agencies can "can shift from being simple open data providers, to become open data hubs."
"Whereas I suspect that large information service providers will be willing to position themselves as the open data hub of choice," Di Maio wrote in a Jan. 30 blog post, "alpha.data.gov can show the path, raise awareness and ultimately help governments move from being pure providers to being actual consumers of open data."
Public feedback on alpha.data.gov is encouraged via @ProjectOpenData on Twitter, and front-end designers and developers are encouraged to collaborate on the project through Github.

Second City Theatricals is seeking actors for ensembles on Norwegian Cruise Line ships.
The South By Southwest Film Festival (SXSW) is an annual film festival that not only premiers feature films, like Bridesmaids back in 2011, but presents new work by indie directors. Each film entered is up to be considered for the Grand Jury Prize, which is a special award given in two categories: Best Narrative and Best Documentary. Think of it as the equivalent to Best Picture for the Oscars. This year, the Magnet's own Charles Rogers (The Music Industry, Prank Phone Calls with Charles Rogers) won the coveted award for Best Narrative Feature for his film Fort Tilden. (Past winners in this category include Lena Dunham for her film Tiny Furniture back in 2010). I (Amanda Ariel Peggy Xeller!) got the awesome opportunity to sit down with the esteemed director, and fellow performer, to talk about the movie and also about him!
Where are you from originally?
Well I grew up in a lot of places, but I grew up mostly on the border of Texas and Mexico at the very bottom. It's called Brownsville, which is a weird, dysfunctional place. And also in Acapulco, Mexico. But I say I'm from Austin, Texas because I went to college there and my family moved there recently.
Where did you go to college?
I went to college at St. Edwards University in Austin. It's a liberal arts school that's fun to be young at.
Magnet Theater is excited to announce that it will be moving to a new location this coming fall.
In November, the Magnet will take over the Foxwoods Theater, most recently the home of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.
Armando Diaz, co-owner of Magnet, spoke on the need for a new space, saying "The Magnet community has been growing at an exponential rate, so we're looking to plan not just for the immediate future, but also for what's beyond the horizon, like in a couple hundred years. If you filled up our current space to capacity, it'd only take up the first row at the Foxwoods. So, the house might feel small in the beginning, but as the word gets out that there's plenty of room, I'm confident that we'll sell out all 1,932 seats, especially to non-English speaking tourists."
Alex Marino, another of the Magnet's owners added:
"One of the great things about moving into the Foxwoods Theater is we'll have our office space, training center, and main stage and my apartment all in one central location. So often our new students would get lost when directed from the theater to the Training Center for student shows, and then to my apartment for banjo jam sessions. Now it'll all take place in one space – a space with a lot of good energy because of all the great things that happened during the run of Spider Man."
Of course, with a new, much larger space will be some inevitable changes. All shows will have a 35 intern team of stage hands. Performers will have access to four state of the art green rooms before their shows. And everyone must be an Actors Equity performer in order to appear on the stage.
The only planned renovation to this legendary theater is to immediately remove all bathrooms except one near the stage.
Another change will be the tickets prices, which will go up slightly from $5-$10 to $125 for balcony seating to $225 for orchestra seats (though Megawatt and Thursday Night Out admission will remain at $7 for the entire night).
Alan Fessenden, Magnet performer and instructor, noted his excitement about the move. "I love the monoscene, but when you ask for 'a location that'll fit on this stage' you're limited by the size of the stage. With the new theater, we can do a whole submarine instead of just the bridge of a submarine. It really opens up the possibilities for all shows, but especially for monoscenes about submarines."
When Ed Herbstman, the third Magnet owner, was asked about the move, he said, "I own a theater?"
One concern was voiced by Louis Kornfeld, Artistic Director of Megawatt. "This new stage is massive compared to the old stage, so sweep edits are going to be problematic. Not only will the timing be off, but the editor may very well be winded after the edit, especially improvisors who are out of shape, which includes all of them."
Magnet is immensely ready for the move and excited to announce that the first show in the new space will be Rick Andrew's Level One Class Show! Stay tuned for more details!
We're excited to announce our new additions to Musical Megawatt, New Team Hall and New Team Oates! Both teams will be debuting Tuesday, April 1st at Musical Megawatt, where there will be Magnet drink specials and an after party at Walter's (389 8th Ave).
We're excited to announce our 2014 Spring Circuit Teams! These teams will debut Friday, March 28th, with shows continuing for 10 weeks until May 30. All shows free, at the Training Center, and at 10:30.

Ahoy Magneteers,
Greetings and salutations from the Norwegian Gem. As I write this I'm about halfway through my four month contract with the Second City, and so far its been an absolutely wonderful experience.
Here on the Gem we typically perform one sketch show, two improv shows and one murder mystery luncheon show per nine day cruise. All of which we rehearsed extensively during our week of training in Chicago. I'd never been to the Second City before and it definitely felt like hallowed ground for a sketch and improv performer like myself. It was humbling to get up on their different stages to rehearse. And as a cool bonus experience, our director let us perform in an improv set with the regular cast on their ETC stage.
My cast here on the Gem comes from LA, Toronto and Chicago and they're all hysterical improvisers and good people. We hang out together quite a bit and we've also become good friends with some of the crew and some of the other entertainers on board.
When we're not performing, we have a lot of free time to work on our own projects. So I've been writing quite a few pee pee jokes and even some poo poo jokes.
In addition to writing, I've used my down time to finally fulfill my main duty as a liberal white person by watching the Wire (it really is great so far). I've also used my free time to work out every day in the ship's gym. I'm totally ripped now and I plan on fighting all of you at the Magnet when I return. One by one. Starting with the weakest (Branson Reese) and then working my way up to the strongest.
Its a blast performing our sketch show to a crowd of 1,100 people each week. Our improv shows are in a smaller space but equally fun and they're all short form. I was originally trained in short form so it feels a bit like returning to my improv roots, which is nice.
Passengers are very complimentary when they see us around the ship. And we get to visit some beautiful ports: San Juan, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Samana, Dominican Republic. Living on the boat is like living in a floating bubble where all of us performers are pseudo celebrities. Then when each cruise ends, everything resets and we're nobodies again for the first couple of days before our first show.
Though I'm enjoying my time at sea, I look forward to coming home to New York and seeing all y'all Magnet people. Stay warm and I'll see you in the spring!

Berkeley mayoral hopefuls weigh in on homelessness
With longtime Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates completing what he says will be his last term, six people have expressed interest in running for his seat come November 2016. Berkeleyside asked each of them to share their views, in 200 words, about what they see as potential solutions to ending homelessness. Read their ideas below.

Click the candidate's name or photograph to reach the campaign website to learn more. Berkeleyside will provide in-depth coverage about the election later in the year. Responses appear below in the order they were received. … Continue reading »
They're off: Candidates file campaign finance statements
The Berkeley political jostling has begun, even though elections will, of course, only be held in November.
City Councilman Jesse Arreguín has raised close to $25,000 for his race for mayor, almost four times as much as City Councilman Laurie Capitelli, his strongest opponent.
Capitelli, who has been endorsed by a majority of the city council, raised $6,380 in the six months leading up to Dec. 31, 2105, according to campaign finance statements.
Read more about the 2016 Berkeley election.
There is a $250 limit for individual contributions in Berkeley candidate elections. Businesses cannot contribute.
Some of those who contributed $250 to Capitelli's campaign are those involved with Berkeley's current construction boom. They include Denise Pinkston, a developer and vice-chair of the Zoning Adjustments Board; David Trachtenberg, an architect who has designed a number of the multi-family apartment buildings now rising in Berkeley; Richard Millikan, who helped develop the Fourth Street shopping district; Aileen Dolby, a commercial realtor for Colliers International; and Patrick Leaper, a colleague of Capitelli's at Red Oak Realty. Capitelli told Berkeleyside that he just started his fundraising the last two weeks of December, a holiday period, and he is "confident" he will eventually have the funds to get his message out to voters. … Continue reading »

With mayor and two councilmen stepping aside, Berkeley's election is heating up
After serving 12 years on the Berkeley City Council — and another 12 on various city commissions — Max Anderson has decided not to run for another council term.
Anderson's exit from the race for District 3 in South Berkeley has already attracted two strong candidates and more are certain to file their election papers in the next few months. John Selawsky, who served on the Berkeley Unified School District School Board for 12 years and who currently sits on the Rent Stabilization Board, is running. So is Deborah Matthews, a Realtor who has served on numerous city boards, including the Planning and Housing commissions and the Zoning Adjustments Board.
Ben Bartlett, who currently sits on the Planning Commission and is a former member of the Police Review Commission, has also said he will run for the District 3 seat, although he has not yet filed papers. The last date to file papers for a Berkeley council seat is July 18. … Continue reading »

Laurie Capitelli to run for mayor of Berkeley in 2016
City councilman Laurie Capitelli took out papers this week to set up a campaign to run for mayor of Berkeley.
"My plans are to run for mayor," he confirmed to Berkeleyside Tuesday evening during a break in the city council meeting.
Capitelli said he will make a formal announcement in early December.
Capitelli is the second councilman to seek the mayor's office. City Councilman Jesse Arreguín declared his candidacy in October.
Tom Bates, the current mayor, said during his last campaign that he did not intend to seek re-election.
Capitelli represents District 5, which embraces a large swath of North Berkeley, starting north of Cedar Street and taking in a significant stretch of Solano Avenue and the Thousand Oaks neighborhood.
Capitelli moved to Berkeley to attend Cal in 1964 and graduated in 1967 with a degree in political science. After teaching high-school history for a few years, he joined Red Oak Realty in 1978, according to a biography on the real estate agent's website. He was elected to the Berkeley City Council in 2004. He is a board member of the Elmwood Theatre Foundation and the Berkeley Public Education Foundation, and has served on the Berkeley Planning Commission and the Zoning Adjustments Board. … Continue reading »
Jesse Arreguín formally announces run for mayor
City Councilman Jesse Arreguín formally announced Thursday that he is running for Berkeley mayor by sending out an email statement declaring his candidacy. He will follow that up with a kick-off rally Nov. 12 at 6 p.m. in a location that will be announced later.
Arreguín said Berkeley needs to be a city "that works for everyone" and pledged in the statement to unify the city and produce results. He said the No. 1 challenge facing Berkeley is affordability.
"We must ensure Berkeley remains a diverse and vibrant city," said Arreguín. "That means protecting and expanding affordable housing and fighting displacement. It also means tackling health, economic and educational disparities, so everyone in Berkeley has the opportunity to succeed." … Continue reading »
Oops! Did Jesse Arreguín inadvertently declare he is running for mayor?
Berkeley City Councilman Jesse Arreguín may have inadvertently announced his candidacy for mayor Monday when he changed the name of his Facebook page from "Jesse Arreguín for City Council," to "Jesse Arreguín for Mayor."
The change triggered an automatic notice to all of his followers, including Berkeleyside, which then sent out the following tweet at 3:48 p.m.:
Is this official? @JesseArreguin just changed the name of his Facebook page to Jesse Arreguin for Mayor https://t.co/91E45uv1gZ

Lori Droste takes District 8 council seat by 16 votes
Final tallies released Wednesday night make Lori Droste the narrow winner in what became a tense and protracted race for Berkeley City Council District 8.
Alameda county will certify the results by Monday, but all votes have been counted, leaving Droste with 2,072 votes, or 50.19%, compared to opponent George Beier's 2,056 votes, or 49.81%.
Beier has said he will not challenge the results.
"I'm humbled by the support of District 8 and I look forward to working hard on Council," Droste said. "I want to congratulate all my opponents for running a great race." … Continue reading »
Berkeley election 2014: Voters pass historic soda tax, reject downtown initiative; Droste takes District 8
Berkeleyside covered the local 2014 election results live from 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4, through 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5. See the live blog below, with continuing coverage through Tuesday, Nov. 11. See complete Berkeleyside election 2014 coverage.
Nov. 12, 6:39 p.m. And the votes are in! The final tallies have just been posted on the Alameda County registrar of voters website. The one race still in play as of Tuesday was Berkeley's City Council District 8, with Lori Droste and George Beier battling it out for the top spot.
Currently, Droste has 2,072 votes to Beier's 2,056, with no more votes to count. The results have not yet been certified, however. … Continue reading »
Berkeley elections: Kriss Worthington retains District 7; nail-biting race continues in District 8
Election day may be nearly a week behind us, but votes are still being counted and the results of some Berkeley races are still being determined, including District 8 where Lori Droste is currently very narrowly ahead for that council seat.
Absentee ballots are still being processed and will likely continue through the week. The latest counts are posted to the Alameda County registrar of voters website around 5 p.m. daily. Under state law, Alameda County has until Dec. 2 to certify its election results.
Berkeleyside is keeping results updated daily on our main Election 2014 results post, and will continue do so so until all races have officially ended.
In District 7, incumbent Kriss Worthington has kept his seat on the council after Sean Barry, who was the only candidate running against him, conceded the race.
"I'd like to congratulate Kriss Worthington and thank my supporters. The outcome is clear even if the final tally is not," Barry said today. … Continue reading »
District 8 race a toss-up, Barry says he is still fighting for District 7, other council races settled
Nov. 9, 5:10 p.m. After several days in second place, Lori Droste has pulled into the lead in Berkeley's Council District 8. She has 1,995 votes, compared to George Beier's 1,983. Read more.
Original story, Nov. 5 While residents of District 8 may not know for days whether George Beier or Lori Droste will represent them on the Berkeley City Council, the results in two other districts are more clear-cut. But in District 7, where Councilman Kriss Worthington has the lead, his challenger Sean Barry is not willing to concede the race yet.
Jesse Arreguín won handily in District 4, as he ran unopposed.
See the latest figures in Berkeleyside's election 2014 live blog.
Linda Maio won re-election in District 1, an area she has represented for 22 years. She garnered 55.35% of the vote (1,779 votes so far) while Alejandro Soto-Vigil got 39.98% of the vote (1,285 votes). A third candidate, Merrilie Mitchell, got 4.67% of the votes (about 150 votes).
Maio, who, before Soto-Vigil, had not faced a serious challenger since she first ran for office, said she spent a lot of time walking her district. When she spoke to people she emphasized Measure D, the proposed soda tax, and left literature behind that described her accomplishments, she said.
Soto-Vigil made the environment a centerpiece of his campaign, arguing that Maio had not done enough to address the issues surrounding air quality in the district's asphalt plant, among other things. … Continue reading »
Berkeley ballot snafu, more money in for 2014 election
The Alameda County Registrar of Voters has sent out 27,000 postcards to Berkeley voters informing them that the date of the election printed on their mail-in ballots is wrong. The date reads Nov. 5, when of course the actual date is Nov. 4.
"This is an unfortunate error on some vote-by-mail envelopes sent to voters in Berkeley, and we deeply regret any confusion this may be causing," Alameda County Registrar of Voters Tim Dupuis said in a press release.

A printer used by Alameda County and other California counties has accepted responsibility for the error, said Dupuis. … Continue reading »

Op-ed: Linda Maio is not the best environmental candidate
The Sierra Club Bay Chapter made a big mistake when it endorsed incumbent Linda Maio for Berkeley City Council.
In 2013, Maio led the move to gut a proposed ordinance that would have improved the information that dental patients receive about mercury dental amalgam fillings. She killed the mandates that two Berkeley commissions had spent six months crafting, which included informed consent for dental patients and signage requirements for dental offices.
Pro-environment Councilmember Arreguín and others tried to continue the issue for further study, but Maio, in her leadership role as Vice-Mayor, convinced the majority … Continue reading »

This activity with a lab report instructs students to solve and plot 160,000 years' worth of ice core data from the Vostok ice core using Excel or similar spreadsheets to analyze data. Students learn about ice cores and what they can tell us about past atmospheric conditions and the past atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and CH4.
This activity focuses on reconstructing the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) as an example of a relatively abrupt global warming period. Students access Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) sediment core data with Virtual Ocean software in order to display relevant marine sediments and their biostratigraphy.
This teaching activity is an introduction to how ice cores from the cryosphere are used as indicators and record-keepers of climate change as well as how climate change will affect the cryosphere.
In this activity, students chart temperature changes over time in Antarctica's paleoclimate history by reading rock cores. Students use their data to create an interactive display illustrating how Antarctica's climate timeline can be interpreted from ANDRILL rock cores.
In this activity, students make a model sea floor sediment core using two types of buttons to represent fossil diatoms. They then compare the numbers of diatom fossils in the sediment at different depths to determine whether the seas were free of ice while the diatoms were alive.
In this TED talk, Wall Street Journal science columnist Lee Hotz describes the research of the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide project, in which scientists examine ice core records of climate change in the past to find clues to climate change in the future.
This video, from ClimateCentral, features a team of scientists from the Northern Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling Project (NEEM), who study atmospheric air bubbles trapped in an ice core from a period in Greenland's ice sheet which began about 130,000 years ago and lasted about 10,000 years; a period known as the Eemian. The air bubbles from the ancient atmosphere - all aligned on the same time scale - reveal what happened with climate change over that period of time.
This gallery of ten temperature graphs shows global temperatures on different timescales from decades (recently measured temperatures) to centuries (reconstructed) to millions of years (modeled from ice cores).
A series of activities designed to introduce students to the role of sediments and sedimentary rocks in the global carbon cycle and the use of stable carbon isotopes to reconstruct ancient sedimentary environments. Students will make some simple calculations, think about the implications of their results, and see an optional demonstration of the density separation of a sediment sample into a light, organic and a heavier mineral fraction.
This activity uses geophysical and geochemical data to determine climate in Central America during the recent past and to explore the link between climate (wet periods and drought) and population growth/demise among the Maya. Students use ocean drilling data to interpret climate and to consider the influence of climate on the Mayan civilization.

No idea what happened here...
I added a new post to my blog (adamhaile.com) and when I refreshed the site it brought up one of the category pages for the root of the site. I tried deleting that category, but now it just says "Not Found" so it's still trying to load that category page.
To make things weirder, I can get to all of my posts and pages... the content is all there...but when I go to "Edit Posts" or "Edit Pages" it will say "No Posts Found" while still saying something like "All (6) | Published (6)" above... so it knows the posts are there.
What is going on here??

Photos: Uday Kiran makes first public appearance with wife
Hyderabad: Telugu actor Uday Kiran, who tied the knot with his girlfriend Visitha on October 24, made his first public appearance with his wife exactly four months after his marriage. His wife attended the audio release function of his much-hyped comeback movie Jai Sriram, which was held at Rock Garden in Hyderabad on February 24. The couple were seen all excited as they posed for the photographers at the event.
Uday Kiran became household name in Andhra Pradesh with his back-to-back hit movies like Chitram, Nuvvu-Nenu and Manasantha Nuvve. But his later outings have bombed at the Box Office and his career has taken back seat for long time. Now, he is set to make a grand return with the movie Jai Sriram. He has been doing all possible attempts to make it a huge success at the ticket counters.
Jai Sriram has seven songs and Balaji Dhake has composed tunes for these tracks, which have come out very well. Dr Rajasekhar and his wife Jeevitha released the audio CDs of the film at the grand event, which was attended by D Ramanaidu, Nikitha Narayan, Sukumar, KS Rama Rao, Uday Kiran wife Vishitha, Maruti, T Prasanna Kumar and Mahat Raghavendra. But Uday Kiran's wife Visitha was centre of attraction at the function.
We bring you the photos of Uday Kiran and his wife Visitha. See them in the slide show.

RITA1 (RBPJ Interacting And Tubulin Associated 1) is a Protein Coding gene. GO annotations related to this gene include tubulin binding.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for RITA1 Gene
Tubulin-binding protein that acts as a negative regulator of Notch signaling pathway. Shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus and mediates the nuclear export of RBPJ/RBPSUH, thereby preventing the interaction between RBPJ/RBPSUH and NICD product of Notch proteins (Notch intracellular domain), leading to down-regulate Notch-mediated transcription. May play a role in neurogenesis.

BBV Discount Movie Involuntary Membership
AUTHOR: JCvP - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, May 07, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, May 07, 2013
I purchased a DVD from this company over a year ago. A charge of $19.95 began appearing on my credit card in April 2012. I called and was told it was for a membership I signed up for, which is NOT the case. I was billed a total of 13 times for $19.95. During that time I received NO communication from this company and NO benefits. I finally reached a call center in India this evening and was promised a refund of two of those 13 months and a cancelled membership. FRAUD plain and simple. I am forwarding this to our Attorney General, asking for a chargeback from my credit card company, and will cooperate with any class action suit initiated against this scam. A GOOD ENDORSEMENT FOR PAYPAL so they can't charge your credit card without authorization.
