Ranking the 2011 Dividend Aristocrats - 41414 views
NEW YORK (Scott's Investments) -- Standard & Poors recently announced its 2011 Dividend Aristocrats. The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index is designed to measure the performance of S&P 500 constituents that have followed a managed-dividends policy of consistently increasing dividends every year for at least 25 years.
The deletions from the 2010 list are Eli Lilly (LLY), Supervalu (SVU) and Integrys Energy (TEG). The additions are McCormick (MKC), Hormel Foods (HRL) and Ecolab (ECL).
I have the full list available on the right hand side of Scott's Investments along with the dividend yield for each stock. Using a simple stock ranking system, I have rated each dividend aristocrat based on a one-third weighting for yield, one-third weighting for payout ratio and one-third weighting for projected annual earnings-per-share growth for the next five years. For those interested in how to create their own stock ranking system I provide detailed instructions in here.
More From Stockpickr
There are an almost infinite number of ways to rank stocks. For dividend investors, yield, EPS growth and payout ratio are three critical metrics. I ranked each Aristocrat in order of yield (highest to lowest), five-year estimated EPS growth (highest to lowest) and then payout ratio (lowest to highest) and averaged these rankings to create an overall rank.
It is important to note that raw data is but one tool to use in your overall analysis. For example, payout ratios can fluctuate since they are calculated by dividing dividends per share by earnings per share. A short-term dip in earnings could inflate the current payout ratio of a stock. Thus, it is important to evaluate not only the current payout ratio of a stock but also whether a company's future earnings growth will continue to fund dividend payouts (thereby potentially lowering the payout ratio in the future). In addition, estimated five-year EPS growth is only that: an estimate provided by analysts. The reality is that the next five years will provide both earnings surprises and disappointments for most of the companies on the list.
The following is the result when averaging the ranking of current yield, projected five-year EPS growth and current payout ratio among the 2011 Dividend Aristocrats. The stocks are listed in order of their ranking.

Last month, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that "Wisconsin is one of five states that have no equal-pay laws on the books."
You gotta hand it to the boys at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Politifact department: They'll shoot at whatever comes through the door-- even if it's someone from their own paper. They thoroughly investigated this claim and found that it was "false."
Kudos to the Journal-Sentinel for having the courage to shine the light of truth on their own paper!
Or not. Instead, they tagged gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke for quoting the Journal Sentinel verbatim, when she said,"Wisconsin is now one of just five states without an equal pay law."
The Journal Sentinel's Politifact can be useful, but more often than not, the Politifolks are hamstrung by their own convoluted process of finding statements to judge and they vary wildly on whether they judge the larger point or quibble about a minor detail. Sadly, this was actually a great statement to analyze--it wasn't something ridiculous like checking the veracity of a re-telling of the origin of the state's nickname--and it was judged from just the right camera angle.
The only problem is that they judged the wrong person. Humorously, the Potitifact article does mention off-handedly that the Journal Sentinel had reported the same information, but they quickly shift their own blame to the research conducted by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL)-- even though the original Journal Sentinal article never cited the NCSL as the source.
Curiously, three days before the Journal Sentinel's Karen Herzog wrote that "Wisconsin is one of five states that have no equal pay laws on the books. The other states are Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina and Utah," The Washington Post wrote, "Five states have no equal-pay laws whatsoever: Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Utah and Wisconsin. Three states — Louisiana, Oregon and Vermont — passed or amended existing laws last year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
So, Politifact basically discovers that one of their own is guilty of not citing the NCSL and that the information is wrong anyway, but instead of calling out the Journal Sentinel reporter or the NCSL... they go after Mary Burke.

Finally. It's not a rumor anymore. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, 24, has a baby on board and a wedding to plan.
Her rep tells Lifeline Live:
"We can officially confirm that Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi is pregnant and engaged to her boyfriend Jionni LaValle. Nicole is thrilled to finally be able to share her happy news with her fans."
Who is LaValle? A "wrestling coach for little kids," says Snooki, and he's going to school to get a teaching degree.
Photos: Baby boom hits Hollywood
Snooki broke the news this morning in Us Weekly with the headline 'OMG! I'm Pregnant!'
LaValle, 24, calls it "a happy accident," in the story. Snooki tells Us she's sorry about lying last month when rumors first surfaced, but she wanted to wait until she was three months along, reports Good Morning America. She's actually 15 weeks into the pregnancy, reports Us.
And yes, Snooki's giving up those partying ways, including caffeine and alcohol. She describes her morning sickness in a way she knows well - as "feeling really hung over."
She tells Us, "I have different priorities now." And to any haters out ther, she says, "I don't care what anybody else thinks. As long as I know I'm ready and he's ready."
Adds LaValle: "We are not going to screw this up."
Snooki has already given us a clue about what baby names to expect. She told GQ that she likes: "Frankie, Isabella, Giana, and maybe Jionni Jr."

The $300 kit, which is already starting to go on sale at RadioShack retail stores, has wheels, spin motors, gears, a programmable microcontroller, servos, a radio receiver, a 6-channel radio transmitter, and tons of Erector-set style hardware for building robots. I like the fact that you are encouraged to cut and bend the metal structural pieces to build you bots. They'll be selling sensors and effectors in the coming months, and the platform will be open enough that lead users will be able to develop and sell aftermarket sensors and components for it.
I want to find out what my garage roboticist buddy, Gareth Branwyn thinks of Vex. I'm going to ask him to write about it for Make.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/11/2012 (1725 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
What was it about Brandon that made you want to come here in the first place?
Well, I was actually married here in Brandon. My wife's family is from Brandon and I've been coming here for many, many years — we've been married 29 years this year, so we've been coming here for a long time. I always enjoyed Brandon and I always thought it would be a nice place to police. In fact, actually, when I was much younger, I considered quitting Saskatoon and joining here as a constable.
Why did you think Brandon would be a 'nice place to police?'
Well, Saskatoon was getting big — it was growing every day. And Brandon is a good-sized city. I remember reading a study many, many years ago that said once a population hits about 100,000, then crime is harder and harder to control. And of course, we're well under 100,000, and that has proven, in my mind, truthful, because I've noticed our members are very good at knowing anybody new coming to town. If they're a shady character, they're on them right away and they address them rather quickly.
Well, that's encouraging!
It is — very much so. Because in the bigger cities, a person can set up shop there and run pretty virtually under the radar for a long time until they get noticed.
That leads quite readily into my next question, which is — well, I think there are a lot of armchair quarterbacks out there — a lot of armchair newspaper reporters, a lot of armchair police officers, if you will. People often seem to think they could do better at a job than the people who are doing it. But a city of this size — we can only pay so many police officers, right? And are we adequately policed?
I think we're adequately policed. You look at the averages — I think police-per-population, there's more in Winnipeg and we're behind the Canadian average. But right now, I think how we're staffed is very efficient for the city. And it's very much appreciated that the provincial government is helping us along. That's good, because we are a growing city, and we couldn't be policing it without that assistance that's coming from the province every year.
I still think of Brandon as a very safe city. Perhaps unwisely, I do walk not late at night often, but still by myself when it's dark, and in my neighbourhood, I don't feel uncomfortable.
That's good to hear! I feel that way, too! Brandon is a safe city. And I think what's really good about Brandon is we have a presence, and almost every citizen knows a police officer in town. They know and trust them. And in the bigger centres, you might not have that.
I think people often don't understand that, in the same way they lambaste judges, that both they, and you, are bound by the laws of the land and you can only do so much. But police and judges don't determine the law that's the politicians.
Correct. Politicians make the law, we enforce it, and judges interpret it. So that's what our role is. But you know what? Since I've been here, the biggest complaints that I hear — judging from mostly council inquiries and things like that — are traffic complaints! The speed of traffic, reckless driving those types of things. I go on the talk show on the radio from time to time and people call in about traffic. That's always a common theme. And that's not unique to Brandon.
And it's funny because people obviously get mad when they get a ticket — nobody likes getting a ticket, and everybody's always got a good excuse as to why! But the whole thing is, we also get complaints about people's driving.
There's been some concern recently there seems to be a rise in gang activity in Brandon. Legitimate? Not legitimate?
There's always been a gang presence here. There've been gangs from the day I got here. There's gangs in every urban centre, and some smaller rural centres, too. Is there a rise in activity? I don't think so. It comes and goes. I think recently, we've made some very good arrests, and a lot of those people who were most active in that lifestyle are now incarcerated. Our members do very good work, and when something arises that's very frightening to the community, they try and solve it as fast as they can.
I'm anticipating what some people might say 'if you know there are gangs, why don't you do something about them?' But you can only respond once a crime has been committed or something has been brought to your attention, yes?
Right. Freedom of association is freedom of association. People can associate with one another unless there's a court order that says they're not to see certain individuals. But when that happens, then we are very diligent. We check people who are out on court conditions, we check people who are on probation to make sure they're abiding by the conditions that are imposed by the court. We do our very best that way. So when it comes to a point that something may be gang-related, the courts are very good — they prohibit people from seeing certain people in the group, and we then make sure that that's happened.
What would be a major problem that we have right now, besides traffic?
I think one of the things that bothers me most is impaired driving. We make arrests regularly, there's so much media, there are so many prevention programs out there, and people aren't getting it. There are people who just insist on driving while impaired. And I don't know what we can do to curb that. We've tried. We have special check-stop programs and the like, and there's lots of advertising campaigns, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving is there, and we've got the 'report impaired drivers on 911' program, which has been very successful as well. So those things are there, and people should know the jig's up, but we still get drunk drivers. And that's a concern. Because it doesn't happen often, but when there is an impaired driving collision that causes injuries or death, it's usually the innocent people that it happens to.
That can't be just a Brandon problem, though. It must be North America-wide or something.
I think in Western Canada, the numbers are higher than the rest of Canada. I think it goes back to our dependence on the automobile. In Western Canada, when you have vast distances to go, people are very dependent on driving. And in larger urban centres Toronto, Montreal you don't need to rely on that you use public transport. And it's funny when you talk to older people, they want to keep driving and keep driving and keep driving, because that's the way to keep their independence. But in larger centres, that doesn't happen.
Let's change tracks here. Stereotypes. Police and doughnut shops. Completely unfair, but I suspect that stems from the days when those were the only places open late at night that folks who were on a swing schedule could access at weird hours.
Absolutely! I remember as a young constable, there weren't 24-hour restaurants around, and the doughnut shops were there. And we have to thank — I think it was The Bangles that did the song 'Walk Like An Egyptian' — 'Where you talk to all the cops in the doughnut shops.' So that's where it really stuck, as far as I'm concerned, because until that song came out — and I've been around long enough — we never got bugged about the doughnut shops. And after that song came out, then it was there.
Does it rankle police officers now? Is it annoying?
I don't think it bothers anybody. But it did rankle me, because there was talk at one time about this property that we're on now, parsing it off and making it open for retail in front, and the topic of a doughnut shop did come up. And I said, 'Well, then, you would have to be looking for a new chief.' Because I wouldn't be a chief of a police service that had a doughnut shop on the front of our property. I think that would just be embarrassing.
Are there any pet causes — things that are near and dear to your heart — about police work?
I've always found, in my whole career, that it's the little things that make the biggest difference. The little cases that you solve. I look back when I was an investigator and — I'm going to get choked up here — but there was a case once where a woman was taken of all her life savings by a con artist. My boss of the day assigned the file and said, 'You're never going to solve this one.'
I met with the complainant — she was destitute. She had a young child, she was a single parent, and all of her life savings were gone — this guy just sapped the money from her. I was able, though investigation, to determine who it was. And I was able to charge him. It wasn't the biggest crime in the world, but it was biggest crime to that individual. And after it was all said and done, I got a nice card from her just saying 'thank you for hearing my plight when most people would probably just have dropped it.'
So it's not the big caper — it's the little ones. If you're able to help them out and solve the crime, those are the things, in my mind, that are the biggest accomplishments.
What's the motivation for most people to get into the policing profession? I'm presuming it would be to help the citizens. But is there trying to help the criminals find the right path, too? Or protection of society?
I think if you ask any police officer why he or she became a police officer, I think they'd say, 'I want to help people.'
So any regrets about stepping down, or is the time right now?
I think the time is right. I've been here for six years. Every police chief has a shelf life. We're in the new building — I'm very pleased. And I think right now, with the crime rates being at the lowest level in 2011 than they have been since they've been recorded here, and the new local police board — I think it's an ideal time to turn over the reins to somebody new. I have no regrets — these six years have been a fantastic time.

Mormon teens wowed, energized by Romney
By election day, Nicole Best will be old enough to vote for Republican Mitt Romney.
"I'm very proud of him. I think he is a quality man," Best, 17, of Kirtland, Ohio, said of the former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate, who is a longtime Mormon lay leader.
Though Kirtland's suburban Cleveland hometown became headquarters for the Latter Day Saints Movement from 1831 to 1838 and site of the country's first Mormon temple, most Mormons moved much further west than northeast Ohio.
One of just 10 Mormons in her high school, Best says she always felt outnumbered — perhaps as did Romney, who spent his childhood in Michigan and his adult life in Massachusetts, states with small Mormon populations.
Her affinity for Romney and hope for demystification of her faith, she says, might resemble the enthusiasm that many Roman Catholics had for John Kennedy in 1960, the nation's only Catholic president.
Best is among more than 800 teenagers from Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia attending The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 2012 Youth Conference, which started Wednesday at Robert Morris University in Moon and runs through Saturday.
The size of the conference impressed most of the teenagers upon arrival.
According to the church's website, the tri-state — consisting of Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and Northern West Virginia — is home to 6,000 Mormons, making this gathering almost unprecedented for the region.
"I have never seen this many people, this many LDS people in the same place. It's kind of great," said Allison Linley, 15, of Prosperity in Washington County.
Caroline Bushman, 16, of Mt. Lebanon is one of only four Mormons at Mt. Lebanon High School.
"Our faith is such a big part of our lives. Here, I feel like I know people before I have even met them," said Bushman, whose father, Karl Bushman, knew Romney in Boston.
The gathering, Bushman said, offers her an opportunity to meet people with same standards of dress and behavior. The church prohibits members from smoking, drinking alcohol and wearing gaudy or revealing clothing.
Most attendees were reticent about politics.
"LDS members are well-trained to avoid those questions. They really work hard not look like they are endorsing candidates. But the country is vetting Mormonism, and it is vetting Mitt Romney," said Max Perry Mueller, a scholar of Mormonism and doctoral candidate at Harvard University who is associate editor of Religion & Politics, a journal published at Washington University in St. Louis.
Mormons faced more persecution than any other religious group in U.S. history, particularly in the 19th century, Mueller said. To an extent, he said, Romney faces some of the same fears that people expressed about Catholics when Kennedy ran for the White House a half-century ago.
"Some people are threatened by Romney as a believer. Some people call Mormonism a cult," Mueller said.
Mormons are acutely aware of how others perceive them. A survey this year by Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life found 68 percent of Mormons said they are not viewed as "mainstream" by society.
The survey indicated that three-quarters of Mormons lean toward the Republican Party, and two-thirds consider themselves conservative — far higher than the national average of 37 percent. Yet Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, a Democrat, is the country's highest-ranking elected Mormon.
A Gallup poll in June found that only 34 percent of Americans correctly say President Obama is a Christian; 44 percent say they don't know his religion; and 11 percent say he is a Muslim. Obama attended Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

|[jira] Created: (LUCENE-1768) NumericRange support for new query parser
|Thu, 30 Jul 2009 08:05:15 GMT
NumericRange support for new query parser ----------------------------------------- Key: LUCENE-1768 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1768 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: New Feature Components: QueryParser Affects Versions: 2.9 Reporter: Uwe Schindler It would be good to specify some type of "schema" for the query parser in future, to automatically create NumericRangeQuery for different numeric types? It would then be possible to index a numeric value (double,float,long,int) using NumericField and then the query parser knows, which type of field this is and so it correctly creates a NumericRangeQuery for strings like "[1.567..*]" or "(1.787..19.5]". There is currently no way to extract if a field is numeric from the index, so the user will have to configure the FieldConfig objects in the ConfigHandler. But if this is done, it will not be that difficult to implement the rest. The only difference between the current handling of RangeQuery is then the instantiation of the correct Query type and conversion of the entered numeric values (simple Number.valueOf(...) cast of the user entered numbers). Evenerything else is identical, NumericRangeQuery also supports the MTQ rewrite modes (as it is a MTQ). Another thing is a change in Date semantics. There are some strange flags in the current parser that tells it how to handle dates. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

[quote:ET emissary:MV8yMDUzNTE4XzM0NjE1MzgyX0NDRERCRjZB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 14086416:MV8yMDUzNTE4XzM0NjA2ODI3XzY1RDhDQUQw] [quote:ET emissary:MV8yMDUzNTE4XzM0NTk1ODQwXzM0RDc0N0M0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 14086416:MV8yMDUzNTE4XzM0NTkzMzcyX0Q4Q0FDNTE2] Dear ET Emissary, First of all I can assure you the Christ Michael Aton, Esu and the rest of them as you stated "DO EXIST" When a message is given to someone it is interpreted and written according to their own personal signature. This is why different people receiving a message from CM will seem different in the language. It is because the perceptions and thinking of the person are incorporated into the message and delivered in their voice/writings. This does not make the message less valid or wrong. Many messages given in the past were target messages! Which means they were not meant for us. This also does not mean they were wrong or not valid, as they served a purpose. Everything is fluid, which means that a time line thought to me on track, can change overnight due to many reasons. Our calendar and times are also not the same as the celestials time lines. Many messages given were wake up calls to humanity. Challenging us to pay attention and also to see the severity of our planet's demise. The earth is dying and in serious trouble. Messages concerning earth changes were not meant to cause fear, but to wake humanity up to the seriousness of our abuses upon her. All planets have souls! Our mother earth feels all abuses/war,bombs/poisons/pollution/oil,coal pillaging/ slaughtering of animals/killing of each other. Mankind has caused much of our troubles and yet still remains asleep. No one even cares to be honest, as everyone goes about living as if nothing is wrong. The messages coming through channelers has increased and are all in sinc with each other. They give warnings and messages of love hoping to inspire and wake people up. I do not speak for Candace but from my own perspective and understanding. I feel deeply within my soul what I write to be true. I have discerned and received my own messages, and therefore KNOW for myself my truth. I understand your questioning and your discernment/worries regarding all you wrote here. I can only advise you to connect to CM on your own for confirmation of these events and messages, for you must do the work ET yourself. Believing is NOT KNOWING! You must KNOW for yourself TRUTH~ Only you can call out from your soul to the universe for answers and if you trust your I AM that I AM presence....with confidence you shall get the answers you so dearly seek. Blessings, DMFS [/quote] im sorry but those messages & most channeled messages are not authentic we know that this planet has been controlled by darkness for quite some time now & they would manipulate/create 'channeled' messages to confuse & spread disinformation do not make excuses for the numerous inconsistencies of those messages i know(from experience) that it is not easy to see it for what it is & admit that you were fooled/hoodwinked but if you truly want to move forward & find real truth, you are going to have to move past the deceptions the darkness has been very clever & used advanced tactics in using other people to spreading disinformation please listen to that video very carefully i still find this website to have authentic messages & their latest one also discusses the manipulation of channels check it out: http://www.cosmicparadigm.com/Athabantian/ [/quote] I respect your opinion, but do not agree. My path has taken me down a bumpy road to truth, and I have been shown both lies and truth. The channelers with Abundant Hope are authentic and God appointed. I agree that the Dark are using MANY Channelers around the world, and giving false information. The world may not agree with many of the messages coming thru Abundant Hope, but that does not make them false. There is no way to proof to someone what is divine truth or knowledge. This is why everyone must embark down their own road seeking what is false and what is truth. It takes time to study, read, explore, investigate and meditate for the answers. I have been doing just that for over 5 years now, and I am not new to the false messages and false websites. If you earnestly seek from your heart to KNOW all TRUTH, AND HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS/CM than he will guide you to the material needed to understand. It will mean breaking down all barriers of what you once believed. Faith and Trust must be at the forefront. Your angels/guides will guide you. Do THE WORK NEEDED WITHIN YOURSELF FIRST, AND THEY WILL DO THE REST. I assure you that everyone who wishes to know truth will be guided. Candace has her own way of teaching, and I respect her greatly. It is not easy being attacked over many years, when your mission is to help enlighten and bring to the surface all false truths. She is a true warrior, and may at times come off as not aligned with light, but I can assure you she is one of God's brightest. Her heart is HUGE,in wanting to Serve and bring truth to all. If you knew her heart and who she truly is, you would know differently. I will not continue further with this discussion, ET. I cannot stress enough that you must find your own way through the muck and lies. The journey of the soul is not easy, but it molds character and integrity. Begin with reading the Phoenix Journals and Urantia Book. Much will be shown to you, as your guides will bring what will resonate and the rest will take you down a journey of enlightenment. BE OPEN TO EXPAND CONSCIOUSNESS AND IT WILL BE GIVEN. Blessings, DMFS [/quote] been there done that it is not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing with abundanthope it is a matter of Credibility & Authenticity The Proof of the Lies & Deceptions i posted above should help you to begin Questioning Abundanthope & where exactly they get their information from which is from their Egos & Manipulating Entities i cannot Force you to Investigate & see the truth when peoples egos think they have found the 'ultimate truth' then it is Hard for them to Question & Research the Evidence that proves otherwise However if one is Truly Honest with themselves then they will set aside their ego & not be afraid to question information & research the evidence in seeking truth because Real Truth does not fear investigation & in fact it welcomes it because it is solid truth that has nothing to hide no matter how many times abundanthope messages & the indoctrinated believers try to twist, spin & make excuses... the truth will come out about the illegitimate messages & belief systems in many ways it already has.. as proven in my earlier comments please re-read them, watch the videos & Think instead of letting abundanthope/PJs/Urnatia book think for you do not trap yourselves as people have trapped themselves within churches/bibles/religions [/quote]

During the Fall football season you can frequently hear the roar from the football field from the 7pm Friday night games (Sept-Nov) where the Lincoln Lion's play against Santa Teresa, Aragon, Willow Glen, Westmont, Sobrato, Evergreen, Live Oak, Silver Creek, and Gunderson high schools. The last game of the year is called the Big Bone Game and is against longtime rival San Jose High School Bulldogs. This game is played over at San Jose City College's football field. The trophy has a fun story that goes back to 1944.
What you might not know is the wild history behind Lincoln's famed Don Bowden's Track and Field.
Rose Garden Dog Park
Since the Municipal Rose Garden bans dogs in their park, there really hasn't been a dog park in our neighborhood until Ed Hodges and Bob Walker of the Lincoln Hound Society was able to negotiate a special agreement with San Jose Unified on using a fenced off patch of grass between the baseball field and the track. It is open during non-school hours for neighborhood dog walkers. There is a suggested $10 yearly fee to help pay for doggie doo bags and general maintenance.
If you are walking your dog through the area and want a fenced off area to unleash your dogs then stop by. Just wish they had more benches and trees for folks to socialize!
The Garden City Velodrome
Before it was Lincoln High School it was Dewey Maxwell's 1/8th mile outdoor wooden bicycle track originally known as the Garden City Velodrome and later renamed the San Jose "Burbank Velodrome". It was in existence from 1936 to 1941 and was the home of the Garden City Wheelmen. It was San Jose's 3rd Velodrome (the first one was built in 1892 at nearby Race & Park Ave). Famed San Jose historian Clyde Arbuckle was a huge cyclist and was made a referee at the track.
It was built with the school district's blessing to convert Dana's Spinach farm into a state of the art bicycle velodrome. It was paid for using Work Progress Administration funds. It featured grandstands that could seat 3,000 an under track entrance for riders to get in and out without stopping a race during the May - Sept racing season. Bicycle crashes and fist fights both horrified and entertained the crowds. They even allowed motorcycles to race on the track until an accident sent one motorbike into the wooden grandstands. Admissions was only 25 cents, but it was WWII that sent San Jose's idyllic youth off to war and lead to the closure of the track in Feb of 1942.
For those wanting to know the complete history check out Tracy Ann Delphia's 1994 SJSU thesis, "A History of Bicycle Track Racing in San Jose: The Burbank Velodrome Years, 1935-1941." If you want to experience bicycle racing on a velodrome be sure to check out Hellyer Park Velodrome, the 6th Velodrome to be built in San Jose.
Lincoln High School and the Rifle Range
The Burbank Velodrome was torn down in Feb of 1942 after the San Jose city school board approved the building of Lincoln High School and a small bore rifle range for boys and adults on the property! It was a combination civil defense and school project. There was an indoor range for a 25 yard rifle range and classroom and two outdoor ranges of 50 and 100 yards. The school had use of the rifle range on school days until 4pm at which time the rifle club would use it after school hours.
I can't help but wonder if the velodrome was chosen as the site for the rifle range because the wood bicycle track sat on an oval saucer shaped dirt pile which could help constrain any stray bullets from hitting school children and nearby residents.
The only thing to top the high school's rifle range was the huge display of roaring US Army tanks tearing up the fields at Lincoln a year later on April 29, 1943. It was part of the War Department's effort to sell War Bonds, back in the day before budget deficits.
After WWII the range was torn down and was replaced with an athletic track and field for Lincoln High School.
With the recent spike in horrific school shootings I can't help to think about where we've gone wrong as a society. While I doubt we'll be going back to encouraging young boys to learn how to shoot a rifle on school grounds in preparation for going off to war I do think we need to find ways to reverse the the sad trend of young disenfranchised males bringing guns to school to kill fellow students.
Maybe it's time to look at what used to work - giving purpose to kids' lives. Funding schools with enrichment and athletic programs, getting boys to join youth groups like Boy Scouts that promote gun training and safety. Talking more about positive male role models, like intact families with fathers and more male teachers in the schools Get to know your neighborhood kids by name and push for a workplace environment that gives working parents more time to be at home focused on their kids.

Our facility has five FFDM units (not all same model or manufacturer), two laser printers (not same model or manufacturer) and four review workstations (not same model or manufacturer). We run clinical images through all the accessory components. Do we have to perform periodic QC testing (e.g., phantom image test) on all combinations of units with the printers and review workstations?
If the facility's medical physicist provides the facility with documentation that the FFDM units and accessory components are matched (see below), then the facility may perform its periodic QC tests using any review workstation or laser printer, as long as each accessory component is tested at its recommended frequency. For example, if the QC manual specifies performing the phantom image test on a weekly basis, the facility may produce a phantom image using each of its x-ray units and evaluate them on any review workstation or laser printer at least once each week of use. One mechanism by which the medical physicist can consider the FFDM units and the accessory components to be matched is for the medical physicist to initially perform and obtain passing results for all applicable QC tests through all possible combinations. (In this scenario each accessory component must be operating within its own pre-established action limits set forth in the applicable QC manual.) 21 CFR 900.12(e)(6). This method will reduce the number of QC tests that must be performed. Note: At least one example of each required QC test must be evaluated using each accessory component at the required periodic frequency. 21 CFR 900.12(e)(6).

Lord Lloyd-Webber: My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reply. I am not going to bore the House with a whole litany of broken down jetties and bus trips enforced. I would just like to ask the Minister whether any pressure could be put on the British Airports Authority at least to maintain better the buildings that it has.
Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, that is an important consideration, but the British Airports Authority has extensive plans for Heathrow. In addition to the construction of Terminal 5, to which I just referred, there is massive investment in Terminal 3 to enable it to take the new large aircraft, the A380, and substantial improvements to Terminals 1 and 2. Some £8 billion will be spent over the next decade. There is a great deal of investment in Heathrow. I agree with the noble Lord that of course it could do with improvement, but certainly by the time of the Olympic Games Heathrow will be well equipped to cope with the traffic.
Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, I was slightly surprised to hear the Minister say that Heathrow is one of the best airports in the world. How often does he have occasion to use it?
Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, I am rather too busy with my obligations in the House to go to Heathrow very often. The House should recognise that Heathrow is the busiest airport in the world, and it will maintain that position over the next decade. Of course it is important that the modernisation should take place, although there are one or two modern airports that have had significant difficulties with their construction. Heathrow is an important link in British travel plans. Reverting again to the original Question, as far as concerns the Olympic Games, Heathrow will be a leading airport in 2012.
Lord Forsyth of Drumlean: My Lords, it is worth pointing out that today, despite its shortcomings, Heathrow is working thanks not least to the labour reforms brought in by the previous Conservative government; whereas Paris is not working and is afflicted by a lightning general strike on the day when the Olympic Committee is visiting Paris. Should not the committee take into account the stable economic conditions that we enjoy in Britain when deciding between London and Paris?
10 Mar 2005 : Column 839
Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, I am surprised that the noble Lord is not aware of the rule of the International Olympic Committee that one bid city does not comment on a rival bid while the process is going on. So I do not intend to do that.
Lord Peston: My Lords, will my noble friend reflect, without remotely criticising the Parisian Olympic bid, that at Heathrow bits do not tend to fall off the buildings, whereas I gather that it is quite dangerous to go to Charles de Gaulle these days? That might well affect the performance of various countries in the Olympics.
Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, it may be thought that I can resist temptation on only one occasion. I can do it twiceI am not going to comment.
Baroness Hamwee: My Lords, I can at least say that I wholeheartedly support the London bid. To support that bid, can the Minister give the House any more hope that Crossrail may be completed in time for the Olympic Games to take place in 2012?
Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, the House knows that the timetable for Crossrail is 2014, so it is not related to the Olympic bid. Other improvements to transport are destined to be in play by 2012, of which the most significant is being able to transport passengers from King's Cross St Pancras to the Olympic site in seven minutes through the "javelin" route, which will be using the developed Channel Tunnel rail link.
Viscount Waverley: My Lords, having waited 25 minutes this morning for a tow into the cul-de-sac at Terminal 4 on a flight from Dubai, may I ask whether consideration should be given to lifting the early-morning noise restrictions for just before and during the Games, if London is successful in the bid?
Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, for every passenger in the air, there are many hundreds on the ground with different interests as far as concerns noise.
Lord Dixon-Smith: My Lords, for those who find Heathrow too much of a strain, I point out that the runway at Stansted Airport is operating at about only half its capacity at present. The British Airports Authority has a planning application in preparation to develop the buildings along Stansted airport to the point where they can handle that runway at full capacity, which will increase capacity there by 20 million passengers per annum, with far superior access to east London than Heathrow. Does the Minister agree that Stansted might make a useful additional facility, which ought to help the Olympic bid forward if access is considered to be a problem?
Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, certainly Stansted plays a part in the bid as regards the transport arrangements because it is well connected with east
10 Mar 2005 : Column 840
London, and improvements to that line are being planned. We should not exaggerate the extent to which there will be pressure on airports from the Olympic Games. I merely cite that at present Heathrow accommodates 50,000 passengers an hour. Only 55,000 in the Olympic family would come here, including all those associated with the Games and the athletes, so our airport capacity can well cope. When our bid is successful, the Olympic Games will be going on at a time when others who are not interested in the Games will be taking holidays elsewhere.
Lord Pearson of Rannoch asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they are satisfied with the academic qualifications of those entering undergraduate courses for teacher training.
Lord Triesman: My Lords, the Government are concerned that children should be taught by teachers with the right qualities and skills. We require initial teacher training providers to satisfy themselves that trainees entering undergraduate courses for teacher training have a capability to meet the standards required for the award of qualified teacher status. Higher education providers set and monitor their own academic requirements for entry to undergraduate teacher training courses, as they do for all other degree courses.
Lord Pearson of Rannoch: My Lords, I thank the Minister for that Answer. If one considers that teacher training is the soil in which the roots of our education system feed, the situation appears to be very worrying. Does the Minister agree that the Written Answer given to me by his noble friend Lord Filkin on 18 January, when referred to the DfES website, reveals that the average attainment of those entering undergraduate teacher training courses is well below one E at A-level, or 20 points on the UCAS scale? If that is so, how is this lack of subject knowledge rectified by the courses in question? If it is not, how can the teachers concerned impart knowledge which they do not possess?
Lord Triesman: My Lords, the first thing to do is to put this into context. Teaching is a fully professionally qualified occupation. Approximately 15 per cent of teachers start their career as undergraduates, whereas the remainder go through postgraduate qualification systems. I have the data for 2002-03, the most recent year for which figures are fully available, and it is true that those entering undergraduate teacher training courses had lower average attainment in pre-HE qualifications than those who were entering other degree courses. It is equally significant that by the time they graduated, their pattern of graduation qualifications, 2:1s and 2:2s and so on, were absolutely comparable with people graduating from other
10 Mar 2005 : Column 841
courses. I have no reason to believe that the additional attainment that they had achieved during their period at university is not something to celebrate.
Baroness Sharp of Guildford: My Lords, does the Minister agree that over the course of time the number of students taking undergraduate courses in education has been falling, and the number entering the profession through postgraduate courses has been increasing? Do the Government have any plans over the longer run to phase out undergraduate courses in education completely?
Lord Triesman: My Lords, I am not aware of any plan to phase them out, although the statistics show that the postgraduate certificate is the major route. As I have said, 85 per cent, and increasing, enter that way. That means that people coming in already have a first degree in a specialist subject. The noble Lord, Lord Pearson, addressed that point. Even so, those teaching in primary schools, where they will on average be teaching around nine subjects, cannot have A-levels or a specialist degree in nine subjects. Yet, we also want people with excellent ability in primary education.

OK, I added those to CXXFLAGS (in Makefile.config) and rebuilt. This
time, it complained about the same four undefined symbols, but this time,
they're missing from /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.a.
So I decided to rebuild libstdc++ with these 2 flags, but it wouldn't
build. I then tried building it, adding just -fno-rtti. This time,
it compiled, so I installed it.
Then I tried building htdig, again. This time, it failed (still while
trying to make "htfuzzy"), but only because it's missing the symbol
"terminate__Fv" from /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.a(fstream.o).
Do you have any suggestions as to what I might try next?

What would you like to do?
Can the entire amount of a state and federal tax refund be taken for child support that is owed?
Can you let someone else claim your child on federal taxes if you owe back child support for other children in the state of Ohio?
Answer Only if the person qualifies under the IRS guidelines for dependents. If the action is taken to avoid the seizure of a tax refund for chi…ld support arrearages it is a federal criminal offense and all participating parties would be subject to prosecution.
If a father of a child gets married and owes back child support can the new spouse be obligated to pay back back his child support in Texas with income tax refunds?
If you file joint and your tax refund gets intercepted, then you would have to file a "wounded spouse" form to get your portion of the refund. But beware, the child supp…ort office could hold the refund up to 6 months to clear all the paperwork before you get anything back.
If you owe child support but are paying reerages will they take my state and federal tax returns?
This could be possible. The Department of Treasury's Financial Management Service (FMS), which issues IRS tax refunds, has been authorized by Congress to conduct the Treasury …Offset Program. Through this program, your refund or overpayment may be reduced by FMS and offset to pay any past due child support, Federal agency non tax debts, or state income tax obligations. Go to www.irs.gov and use the search box for Topic 203 - Failure to Pay Child Support, Federal Non Tax and State Income Tax Obligations http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203.html For additional information, FMS can be reached at 800-304-3107. SEE RELATED LINKS BELOW
How come federal tax refund offset is not on child support payment history?
That is odd. Here in this state Maine it is noted as a child support payment and does go as such on records, when given to the custodial parent for past due child supp…ort owed as such a payment to child support and should be a credit towards the child support owed. You need to check with your State Child Support as you did not mention the State you are in. But where it is federal it should be with all states, not just one. But you need to check with the Child Support Enforcement of your state as to why it was not put down as a payment for past due child support and why you were not credited for the amount as of yet. You do have the right to call and ask as the non custodial parent and it is your money that was taken away. So you do have the right to know why.
Can state withhold federal tax refund for back child support?
Yes, states can withhold any form of income to recover back child support, including a federal tax refund.
Can medical bills be taken from federal tax refund?
It is unlikely that a tax refund would be garnished for past due medical bills. Generally refunds can only be garnished for certain things, and medical bills really ar…en't one. Tax refunds are garnished in instances of: child support arrearages past due federal tax past due state income tax unpaid federal student loans government program repayments However, if you deposit it into an account that they have the right to garnish, the funds lose their identity as a tax refund.
Do you have to claim a state tax refund on your federal taxes as income?
Yes. State refund must be claimed as income on your federal return.
How long does it take to get tax refunds that are collected by child support?
That depends on factors such as how efficient your State's child support agency is at distributing payments and whether the obligor has appealed the intercept.
Can your federal tax refund be taken?
I was just online with the Where's my refund status and it was approved, then at the bottom is says read note related to your return. I read it and it states that they can tak…e all or part of my tax return for items such as child support, another federal agency debt or state taxes. However, I had an assessment of state taxes that I have been paying on that I have been paying for months and now they can take the rest. I don't see how they can do that if you have a payment arrangement. The government can do whatever pleases them I guess. Just an FYI, you might file, but you might not get if you owe them, but you need them, you will wait, so unfair.
Why do you have tax topic 203 on your refund status if you don't owe any non-tax federal or state income taxes or child support?
Past--due child support, Federal agency non--tax debts, state income tax obligations or certain unemployment compensation debts owed a state (namely debts for compensation tha…t was paid due to fraud or for contributions due to a state fund that were not paid due to fraud). You can contact the agency with which you have a debt, to determine if your debt was submitted for a tax refund offset. You may call FMS at the number below for an agency address and phone number. If your debt was submitted for offset, FMS will take as much of your refund as is needed to pay off the debt and send it to the agency you owe. Any portion of your refund remaining after offset will be issued in a check to you or direct deposited for you. FMS will send you a notice if an offset occurs. The notice will reflect the original refund amount, your offset amount, the agency receiving the payment, and the address and telephone number of the agency. FMS will notify the IRS of the amount taken from your refund. Contact the agency shown on the notice if you believe you do not owe the debt or you are disputing the amount taken from your refund. If a notice is not received contact FMS at 800--304--3107 or TDD 866--297--0517. The available hours are Monday through Friday 7:30AM to 5:00PM CT. Contact the IRS only if your original refund amount shown on the FMS offset notice differs from the refund amount shown on your tax return. Go to the IRS gov web site and use the search box for TOPIC 203.
If you owe back child support will you get your federal taxes?
It depends. Usually, no, you will not get your tax return, or stimulus payments. It all depends on how much you owe in back child support. They will take your returns un…til your entire back-support is paid to zero. They will notify you by mail if they have elected to intercept your returns. If they haven't, and you still want to know for sure, you can call the local office that is in charge of your case and they should be able to tell you.
How do I find out if I owe State and Federal Taxes?
Do you mean how do you find out if you have an unpaid tax debt from a previous year? Call the IRS 1-800-829-1040 and ask. Then call your state tax agency and ask. Do you m…ean how to figure out whether you will owe any taxes this year (or another year for which you have not yet filed)? Fill out a tax form and see if there is a balance due at the end. If you don't know how, there are a lot of web sites that will fill out your taxes for free and only ask you to pay when you are done and it is time to file.
Can your tax refund exceed your federal withholding amount?
Is a tax refund considered when determining the amount of child support in Illinois?
Answer No. Child support is generally based upon the obligated parent's monthly income from wages and any other source. A tax refund …is not always for the same amount nor always applicable and therefore could not be counted as an income source. A tax refund can be seized for child support arrearages.
Can the state take a federal tax refund?
Yes, States can intercept your refund via the Treasury Offset Program.
Why didn't my child tax credit change the amount of my refund?
Unfortunately, the same thing is happening to us. The tax software told us that our income was too high to claim the child tax credit. The sad thing is my husband has been une…mployed for over 6 months and our income is still too high, therefore I think they should lower the income levels...

June 9 (Reuters) - Detroit's three automakers said on Monday they had committed $26 million toward $100 million pledged by the city's art museum to save its collection from being tapped to raise cash for Detroit's historic bankruptcy.
Under a so-called grand bargain, the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) would contribute $100 million to ease pension cuts on the city's retirees and avoid a sale of art works to pay city creditors. Philanthropic foundations have pledged about $366 million and the state of Michigan would make a lump sum payment of $195 million.
The $26 million from the automakers consists of $10 million from Ford Motor Company Fund, $5 million from General Motors Co, $5 million from General Motors Foundation and $6 million from Chrysler Group LLC.
As part of the grand bargain, ownership of the DIA's collection and assets would be transferred from the city to the private nonprofit corporation that currently operates the museum. The Detroit City Council on Thursday unanimously voted to support the transfer.
Detroit's workers and retirees must still vote on the city's plan to adjust $18 billion of debt and exit the biggest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
Shirley Lightsey, president of the Detroit Retired City Employees Association, spoke at the DIA event announcing the car makers' commitment, urging retirees to vote "yes" on the ballots they need to send back by July 11.
"You cannot eat principle," she said.
City unions and the Michigan attorney general have contended that the state constitution prohibits the impairment of pension benefits for public sector workers. But city and state officials have warned that if members of Detroit's general and police and fire retirement systems reject the plan, the money from the grand bargain would go away and retirees would face bigger pension cuts.
Starting on July 24, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes will conduct a confirmation hearing on the plan to determine if it is fair and feasible. (Reporting by Karen Pierog, additional reporting by Ben Klayman in Detroit; Editing by Tom Brown)

We ran a tip on how to change your Facebook language [1] not too long ago, and I thought I'd try and revisit it today. Problem is, that when I went to FB and tried to scroll to the bottom, the feed kept loading more stories! Now how am I supposed to reach the end of the feed to see the options I need?
Yes, that rhymed – no, I'm not a semi-famous rapper in my spare time.
Anyways, I figured it out. Just hit the End key (located in the cluster of keys above the arrow keys on your keyboard) and you'll instantly be transported to the very bottom to reach all the footer options.

Some people buy shoes because their favorite sports star (i.e. Michael Jordan) wears them. We here at Uncrate are a little more geeky than that. We buy our sneakers, the New Balance 991, because our favorite chief executive officer wore them — late Apple and Pixar boss Steve Jobs. If they were good enough for the creator of the iPhone, they're surely good enough for us.

THE National Railway Museum wants to put a new improved miniature railway into its south yard to attract more paying customers and boost its offer for model railway fans.
The museum has applied for planning permission to remove and reuse its existing mini railway, transforming the attraction into a dual track that can be travelled along by two different sizes of engines and rolling stock.
In a design and access statement produced by architects DSP, the council is asked to grant permission for the scheme with the aim that " in providing a more interesting and longer ride it will attract more paying customers and bring an enjoyable active railway experience to the NRM south yard."
The proposed track - with both 10 1/4 inch and 7 1/4 inch track - will cover the site of the current railway and extent to the edge of the car park and to the bottom of the south yard, and the mini trains will travel along a landscaped route, through a tunnel and around a hill.
New structures including a platform canopy at the start of the ride, a tunnel and an engine shed will be put up, and the existing structures of the ticket office and an exisitng 7 1/4 inch engine shed will be relocated under the scheme.
The architects added: "The new structures are designed to have an Edwardian heritage reference which is achieved with the use of decorative features including stylised and elaborated bargeboard and eaves timberwork also decorative cantilever elements developed to fit to the aesthetic of the relocated existing ticket office."
Managers at the railway museum say they want the new mini railway to be open from 10am-5.30pm, in line with the rest of the museum's opening hours, and say it will create opportunities for more volunteers to help with the operation of the track, and will draw more miniature railway enthusiasts to the museum for special events with visiting rolling stock

'Inception' Not Shaken by 'Salt' at Box Office

Though the Angelina Jolie-starring action film debuts well, the Christopher Nolan's sci-fi flick collects more than the newcomer.READ MORE
Walt Disney Studios, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub, the creators of the "National Treasure" franchise, present "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" - an innovative and epic comedy adventure about a sorcerer and his hapless apprentice who are swept into the center of an ancient conflict between good and evil.
Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protege.
The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".

Checked battery this morning, 12.5V. Checked alternator with terminals disconnected from battery and got 13.5V. Thought I'd be brave today and see if I'd make to to school and back (about 35 miles round trip). Bad idea..
Just a mile or so past my house, the battery light comes on. Made it to school no problem though. On the way home, drove about 4 miles, battery light is still on and ABS and some other light come on. Interior lights start to dim, radio is dying, so I pull off into a parking lot. Got a new battery just to get home. Tested the old battery once I got home and got 11.76V. Car would no longer start with this battery (just needs recharge). New battery is already down to 11.9V after driving 15 miles home on it. I wanted to test the alternator once more. Started the car then pulled the negative terminal and the car died INSTANTLY. Started back up, pulled the positive terminal and the car died INSTANTLY again. So either I have some loose connections somewhere or the alternator is toasted.

James Darwin Smith II
Fighting Rhyme With Or Without Reason - Poem by James Darwin Smith II
Love, I am overcoming your pain
Or am I?
So much passion lost today
High fiving ambitions paving the way
No more blue
The skies are grey
Where is hope?
Buried deep into the calamity of heartless graves
Who am I?
Who were they?
Flashes in the pan
Stuck upon love's decay
Is this where Dr Seuss's metaphors,
Dissipate into oblivion?
Is Medusa alive and well?
Staring into the kindred hearts of a shying society?
Have Cupid's arrows lost all of their strength?
Unable to fight for hopeless romantic endeavours
Making love a mirage
To even their own admirations
Flesh is limited
True love flows beyond even spirituality
Floating into a realm of unexplained motions
Balancing the waters of real emotions,
Through the depths of one's true character as a whole
Venturing through uncharted dreams yet to be fulfilled
Will everyone learn of what true love is?
Perhaps only till the candy is taken away
From those who trick and treat at a rented pace
Always knowing business is open
For those who try acting out their fairy tale fantasies
Guile is fun at times
Frolicking on golden intentions
Mixing things up
Releasing tensions
Always keeping things fresh
As relaxation becomes a giant sigh of self-relief
True love never has a price
It is stronger than any materialistic thing
So many must open up their eyes
Stop using love as if it was only a game
I have learned so much in life
Still learning to this very day
As I strive on destroying every rhyme burdened by every dull cliché
Yet, I do need to have fun,
Excitement in so many different ways
As I give rhyme no reason
To overstay its redundant stay
My heart is free
As it flies higher than ever before
I am self-medicating myself into an optimistic lifestyle
Becoming stronger each and every day
Love, I am overcoming your pain
Love, Take me or leave me,
I know I always have myself
No matter what, the skies shall always remain blue
As dreams await my arrival
Love, I shall strive for you
Will you thrive for me?
Ah, I have a lot of patience, anyways….

Re: moving equations between Mathematica and TeXShop
I presume this has nothing to do with TeXShop per se, but rather with
the underlying TeX.
Can you be more specific as to what kinds of expression need changing,
one way or the other.
My experience is that Mathematica's TeXForm tends to produce legitimate
TeX math expressions at what I might call a "basic" level and that I can
often hand-code the same thing in LaTeX that is more to my taste.
