e2v releases new CERQUAD package for 68020, facilitating the transition from the original Freescale plastic QFP
e2v, the leading high reliability semiconductor solutions provider, working in collaboration with Freescale in the field of semiconductor lifecycle extension, has announced the availability of a new package option for its 68020 microprocessor. This new option will facilitate the transition from the original Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP), discontinued in 2010, and enable manufacturers to secure long term production of electronic systems using 68020 microprocessors.
The 68020 microprocessor was discontinued by Freescale in November 2010. As an extremely popular device for aerospace and defence electronics, e2v and Freescale announced long term support of the 68020 microprocessor through e2v's Semiconductor Lifecycle Management (SLiM™) programme. This enabled customers to benefit from 68020 lifecycle extension for up to 15 years based on e2v's specialist capabilities in securing long term supply for customers in aerospace, defence and industrial applications.
Since 2010, e2v has maintained an extensive wafer bank of the 68020 microprocessor and ships thousands of qualified, warrantied products, with recent date codes, on a monthly basis. This enables customers to maintain legacy systems and avoid costly redesigns. e2v's wafer bank is exclusively built using original Freescale die and is the only counterfeit-free option to purchasing 68020 microprocessors.
e2v is now pleased to announce the availability of a further option for the 68020 microprocessor, a 132-pin Ceramic Quadpack (CERQUAD) package version. The new CERQUAD package is pin-to-pin compatible with the Freescale PQFP, facilitating transition from the original device to the e2v-manufactured 68020 for all customers who are now running low on stocks.
"System manufacturers are finding their stocks of Freescale 68020 product; last available for sale in 2010, running low. This jeopardises their ability to continue manufacturing critical systems for their customers." says Sébastien Frasse-Sombet, Strategic Marketing Manager in e2v's high reliability semiconductor solutions division, "The release of the new CERQUAD 68020 from e2v enables system manufacturers to secure their long term production capability and so avoiding costly redesigns."
Samples of this new CERQUAD package version of the 68020 microprocessors are available now and customers are invited to get in touch with e2v for a product evaluation. Qualified production is expected at the end of 2014.

The total distance from Houston, TX to Seattle, WA is 1,891 miles.
This is equivalent to 3 043 kilometers or 1,643 nautical miles.
Your trip begins in Houston, Texas.
It ends in Seattle, Washington.
Your flight direction from Houston, TX to Seattle, WA is Northwest (-42 degrees from North).
The distance calculator helps you figure out how far it is to fly from Houston, TX to Seattle, WA. It does this by computing the straight line flying distance ("as the crow flies"). It uses the great circle formula to compute the total travel mileage.
Travelmath provides an online flight distance calculator to get the distance between cities. You can also compare all types of locations including airports, cities, states, countries, or zip codes to find the distance between any two points. The database uses the latitude and longitude of each location to calculate distance using the great circle distance formula. The calculation is done using the Vincenty algorithm and the WGS84 ellipsoid model of the Earth, which is the same one used by most GPS receivers. This gives you the flying distance "as the crow flies." Find your flight distances quickly to estimate the number of frequent flyer miles you'll accumulate. Or ask how far is it between cities to solve your homework problems. You can lookup U.S. cities, or expand your search to get the world distance for international trips.

Just Among Friends
By RACHEL EVANS

The newly refurbished marquee at the historic Ellis Theater was lighted for the very first time on June 28 when it read, "The Marty Stuart Show - Sold Out," but the donor of the project remained anonymous until last Thursday evening when the marquee read, "Street Party - August 15." The secret was out when Liz Goldman and her husband, the late, J. C. Goldman, were announced as the generous donors. "The work of the Arts Council and this historic old building have meant so much to us," Liz told me. "It seemed a very fitting thing for us to do."
The Arts Council sold letters from the old marquee. I took home a piece of the theater's history, while Liz and J. C. lighted the way for Philadelphia's bright future. What a fitting, "make-a difference," memorable gesture from a gracious, charming lady who has definitely made a lasting indention on the Philadelphia she loves.
Sam Chisolm Ray, son of Kyle and Phoebe Ray, was baptized in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost at the Sunday morning worship service, August 18, 2013, at The First United Methodist Church, Philadelphia. The Reverend Fred Britton officiated as Sam's siblings, Lucy Neal and Phoebe Carlisle paid close attention. The Christening gown worn by Sam dates back in his maternal grandmother, Ginger Marsalis's, family for over one hundred years, having been worn by Ginger, Phoebe, her brother, Charles Marsalis, Lucy Neal and Carlisle.
Sam is the grandson of Hasie and Ginger Marsalis, Dennis and Tammy Ray, and Scott and Keely Ray. His paternal great-grandparents are Sam and Lynda Madison. Family members attending the baptism service included Hasie and Ginger Marsalis, Tammy Terry, Charles Marsalis, Brittni, Harris and Matt Harper, and Gloria and Ed Williamson.
Since moving to Philadelphia in 2009, the Ray family has been faithfully devoted to God's work at First Methodist. Sam was born on Thursday, April 18. The family was at church the Sunday before. They missed the Sunday following Sam's birth, but were back in their "back pew" one Sunday later.
"Friends" has been blessed with the opportunity to follow Dr. Bill Molpus in his dedication to the needs of the poor in some of the poorest places in the world. This time it was in Madagascar, "a real place, not just a movie". The fourth largest island in the world, off the eastern shore of Africa in the Indian Ocean. Forbes Magazine says it is the poorest country in the world. The capitol is Antananarivo (Tana for short) with 4 million inhabitants and 50,000 homeless children. "Can you imagine scavenging for food in a garbage dump? A sight not easily forgotten", said Bill back from a mission, "Where we could not see all who needed to be seen (one day there were 200 folks in the dental line), and we could not do all that was needed to be done, but we did what we could".
As Bill tells us, "Joyce Meyer's Hand of Hope partners with an organization in Madagascar that planned and put together our mission. The guy who started the organization is Matt, and what a blessing he is! They feed 700 children everyday from a tent in downtown Tana. They are in the process of building a shelter to house one thousand kids at night Not an orphanage, but just a place for protection and warmth and sleep. It is wintertime now in Madagascar and it gets very cold at night.
We stayed in a nice hotel and drove outside Tana about an hour and a half into the countryside to the clinic site. Matt and his crew had done a fantastic job of putting the clinic together on a soccer field. In fact, it was the best setup we have ever had out in a open field. They even built a toilet with a real commode! Wow!
I have done many missions, but this one would turn out to be the most physically challenging one ever. The devil decided he did not want me working on this trip. I got a crick in the left side of my neck and a crick in the right side of my neck, something I had never experienced before. Never the less, I would work! Ice packs duct taped to my scrubs froze my neck, and with pain pills, muscle relaxants, and the help and encouragement of my team members, I did the deed, in spite of the difficulty. God is so good!
This mission underlined in detail what I always say to the dental team in particular. It is not about individual effort, but rather what we can do as a team. And in a broad picture, that is true about the mission as a whole. For these precious people in a remote village in Madagascar to have a team of health professionals from several countries in the world appear to help them, must have been quite an experience. True, we could not see all who needed to be seen, nor do all the work that needed to be done, but we did what we could, and for that one village, we indeed held out a Hand of Hope."
Bill adds this footnote, "One week after we left Madagascar, they closed the American Embassy there in Tana. Not a good thing!".
In July, the B.A.L.L. (Be Active Live Longer) group from First Baptist Church, Philadelphia were guests of James and Shirley Mooney at their Fair cabin at the Neshoba County Fair. As instructed by the Scriptures in Romans 12:13, Shirley and James were the perfect hosts, treating their guests to delicious fried catfish with all kinds of good home-cooked complements.
Enjoying this fellowship together on an unseasonably cool evening were Rebecca Barnett, Buck Bounds, Gloria Burkes, Jane Cole, Marge Davis, Lamar Fowler, Bill and Polly Gilley, Mazell and Wilmer Goforth, Liz Goldman, Jean Griffith, Rena Harmon, Joan Hight, Dot and Jim Johnson, Eunice Jones, Sue Lewis, James and Shirley, Barney and Lavinia Nowell, Jane Parker, Jo Lynn Parker, George and Sue Saxon, Billy and Louise Sharp, Kermit and Sammie Sharp, William Smith, Patricia Trest, Ellene Turcotte, and Janelle Yates.

Macromedia developer Deng Jie recently made
a post asking us to add language navigation to MXNA 2.0. In other words, he wanted
a list of languages along the right-hand side (just like categories and Smart Categories)
that you could easily click on to browse the most recent posts in that particular
language. Seemed like a good idea to us, so we added it. Check
it out.
I also added some additional RSS support in yesterday's build. Now, whenever you
are looking at a set of data that is available as RSS (which is pretty much everything),
you'll see a little "rss" link next to the page title. MXNA 2.0 also supports auto-discovery,
so if you're using Firefox, you'll notice the little RSS icon in the status bar.

These poems are all about plunging back into childhood, a book for anyone, any age. They are each written by a poetess we all know and love (hopefully), P. T. Cruiser.

Planey Parkerwocky,
Don't be so repa,
You're an aneepa,
Priney escandeando,
E-a-a, e-a-a, e-a-a
edit Pillows in the Corner
There are pillows in the corner,
Checked with purple and green,
The most beautiful pillows,
Ever seen.
There are pillows in the corner,
Sitting on the bed,
The blanket is grey,
The colour of lead.
There are pillows in the corner,
With flowers in between,
The edges of the pillows,
And the spaces of green.
Beside more pillows,
Those are blue,
Those are very plain,
Yes, it's true.
On top of more pillows,
Those are more plain,
The colour of a pond,
After rain.
There are pillows in the corner,
Lighting up the darking lot,
And they look,
Like a Parking Lot.

Able to tuck into a feast,
Left for him and him alone,
Fruit and meat without a bone.
The Plunkeroo has an appetite,
For Airplane peanuts and bulbs of light,
He also eats the window pane,
If he does not it makes him insane.
If he is insane, the Plunkeroo,
Must be locked inside a zoo,
He will not like it, and will escape,
The keeper's mouth he will Sellotape.
The keeper will scream out "Oh lack!"
And walk up or down the Plunkeroo's track,
He will lure him with a feast,
For the Plunkeroo, a mighty beast.

Israel boycotters launch European grouping
Fresh attempts to promote academic and cultural boycotts of Israel will be spearheaded by a newly-established pan-European organisation.
The European Platform for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (EPACBI) includes representatives from Britain, France, Germany, Spain and five other countries with the aim of streamlining action against the Jewish state.
Members of the British Committee for the Universities of Palestine (Bricup), and its French equivalent AURDIP, joined forces to set up the new group and campaign against European Union funding of Israeli academic research.
The move comes as anti-Israel groups promote their boycott, divestment and sanctions week of action, which runs until November 16.
Professor Ahmed Abbes, AURDIP secretary, said: "European decision-makers find it convenient to forget that Israel practises systematic discrimination against its Palestinian citizens.
"Europeans who participate in academic exchanges with Israel can expect to suffer harassment or worse if they happen to have Middle Eastern or Islamic-sounding names.
"Integrating Israel into the European research environment amounts to importing Israel's discriminatory policies back into Europe. For me that's unacceptable."
A spokesman for the Fair Play Campaign, which opposes anti-Zionist activity and boycotts, said: "The same small group of hard-core anti-Israel activists has set up yet another front organisation to push their discriminatory agenda. UK universities continue to oppose an academic boycott of Israel, and even the University and College Union admit that it's illegal."
As part of BDS Week of Action, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign encouraged supporters to focus on four areas that it claimed were "complicit in the [Israeli] occupation" and launch action through "street protests, e-lobbying, phone-ins and social networking sites".
It said the four-pronged attack should be aimed at: Israeli cosmetics company Ahava, supermarkets which sell produce from Israeli West Bank settlements, BT for its support of Israeli telecommunications provider Bezeq, and construction group Veolia, a leading partner in Jerusalem's light-railway.
The "buycott" campaign, which was launched in November last year to directly challenge the PSC boycott, continues to support the sale of Israeli goods in the UK.
No specific buycott events were planned for this week, with supporters instead encouraged to continue their purchasing of goods throughout the year.

The Legend and the Apostle: The Battle for Paul in Story and Canon

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0664244645, Paperback)
The apostle Paul--antifeminist conformist, or social radical? Combining New Testament studies with folkloristic methods to search for the true identity of Paul, the author sheds new light on the apocryphal Acts of Paul and the Pastoral Epistles of the canonical New Testament.
With this book, the legends surrounding the apostle have been rescued from near oblivion and properly placed in the Pauline tradition. Formulated in the days of early Christianity and handed down through the centuries, they cast new light on Paul's views about the ordination of women, the forms of Christian community, and the meaning of the gospel for politics, society, and sexuality.

RHYL'S Foryd Bridge is set to close for three weeks as part of six months of extensive refurbishment work.
Denbighshire Council's Highways and Environmental Services team is planning the next stage of the refurbishment of the Grade II listed Blue Bridge which carries the A548 over the River Clwyd.
A total of 24 weeks of work is set to be carried out, starting in July, but any road closure will not occur until at least October and will be for a maximum of three weeks.
A Denbigshire Council spokesman said: "Recent work has included the replacement of bridge bearings and repairs and painting of the blue steel underside of the bridge.
"This year's project is to strengthen the Rhyl side reinforced concrete abutment structure which has suffered significant deterioration since construction in 1932.
"The work is planned to start during the summer though it must be emphasised that there is no intention of introducing any traffic restrictions during the holiday season."
Following the planned closure in October there will be further disruption in terms of temporary traffic management until the construction work is completed before Christmas.
Pedestrians will be diverted over Pont Y Ddraig while traffic management is in place.
Cllr David Smith, Denbigshire's lead member for public realm, said: "We know there is likely to be significant inconvenience during any road closure, particularly on the Foryd Bridge, but these repairs are absolutely essential to ensure the bridge is structurally sound and its working life is safeguarded.
"The work will take place over 24 weeks the road closure will be in place for two weeks, a maximum of three weeks, in order to reduce the inconvenience to an absolute minimum and we thank motorists and other bridge users for their patience in advance of the work."
The plans are still in the very early stages and the council will be consulting with Rhyl Town Council and business groups in the coming weeks to ensure they are fully briefed on the scheme and the need for the work.

Lynn Redgrave has lost her seven-year battle with breast cancer and died a month after her brother Corin passed away.
The acting world's Redgrave family have been hit by another tragedy - Lynn Redgrave has died, aged 67. The Oscar-nominated "Georgy Girl" star's death comes 14 months after her niece Natasha Richardson lost her life following a skiing accident and a month after brother Corin passed away.
Redgrave died on Sunday night, May 2 at her home in New York. Recent tabloid reports suggested the revered British thespian was losing her seven-year battle with breast cancer and shocked friends when she arrived at brother Corin's funeral in London in a wheelchair.
One bystander said, "She looks like she only has weeks to live." Redgrave underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy treatments in her adopted New York in 2003.
Natasha Richardson herself passed away on March 18, 2009 at New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital after suffering head injury from a skiing accident. A funeral service for the late actress was held on date 22 the same month, in Millbrook, N.Y.

I am an Architect/Engineer who enjoys meeting and helping people. I grew up in Paris but have spent most of my adult life in the U.S. I enjoy good food and wine and constantly seek out new and interesting Parisian restaurants.
The Owner purchased this apartment in 2000
I fell in love with my apartment as soon as I saw it because of the panoramic views of Paris from every window, and its site on the Seine riverbank. Its location by the Eiffel Tower in central Paris is ideal. I had looked for months for a place like this.
As an Architect/Engineer, I was impressed with the exterior and interior design of the building. The apartment is spacious as well as functional.
I enjoy the ease in which I can go anywhere in Paris from my apartment;two subway stations(Bir Hakim & ST Charles) and 4 bus lines(70,42,62,72)are nearby. Also, there is a taxi stand by the building.
The location of my apartment in a typically Parisian neighborhood is another attraction. It's a four minute walk to a major supermarket, Monoprix, and several bakeries,restaurants, and cafes are close by as well as a brand new shopping mall with movie theatres. Walking or jugging along the riverbank is always a pleasure as is visiting the farmer's market, Tuesday and Fridays mornings, on the nearby Rue St Charles.
We just spent a wonderful week in Victor's apartment. The view is incredible and everything about the apartment is welcoming and relaxing after a busy day of seeing the nearby sights and attractions. The apartment is well equipped and beds are very comfortable. It is spacious and beautifully decorated. Victor is very charming and it is easy and delightful to work out the details and to conduct business with him. He has a wonderful list of recommended restaurants and is available to answer any questions before arrival. I would highly recommend both the apartment and it's owner. We would love to return some day.
Stayed in this location for one week and found everything exactly as stated by the owner as true. Located in the newer part of Paris but just walking distance to older charming neighborhoods. Having the convenience of the Monoprix and the Hotel Novatel next door was great. There is also a farmers market 2x's a week just around the corner to enjoy the Paris market atmosphere. The building is named the Tour Totem and is safe and has most of the modern amenities except for a dishwasher and clothes dryer. Kitchen is well stocked for those wanting to eat in. The furnishings, towels and bedding are clean but a little dated and worn. We found the apt to be very spacious and comfortable and enjoyed the view immensely. We would recommend this apt due to the view and location and hope to return someday!
My wife and I spent 8 days in Paris this past July and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Victor's apartment. The apartment was clean, spacious, and inviting with a wonderful view of the Seine and the fireworks on Bastille Day. It's location was great, about a 20 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower. It was handy to the mall, the Monoprix, bus #42, the RER, and the metro. The washer was small but did a nice job. Although there was not a dryer, clothes did dry quickly on the drying rack. Having a kitchen made breakfasts and an occasional dinner easy. The apartment was a wonderful home while in Paris and Victor was extremely helpful answering our pre-visit questions and making our stay as great as it was. Although the kitchen could use an updating everything worked well. We loved our time there and enjoyed unwinding looking at the Seine after a busy day.
Victor's apartment is in a prime location with a spectacular view of the Seine and partial view of the Eiffel Tower. It's within walking distance of the Eiffel, the RER train station, shopping mall and Monoprix which has groceries, clothing and drugstore products. The bed, sofabed and pillows were very comfortable. We bought food at the Monoprix and had several meals in the apartment which really helped since eating at restaurants and cafes can be very expensive. The building concierge were helpful when we had a little problem opening the apartment with the key. Be advised that the lights go off in the hallway as a means of conserving energy and it's very dark, but there's a small pad on the outside of the apartment door that you push to light the hallway again. We thoroughly enjoyed being in the apartment and feeling like we actually lived in Paris. This property is a definite 5 star! Thank you, Victor!
This is the way to visit Paris! It is the best of both worlds...tourist and local. Staying in Victor's apartment was awesome. It felt like home as soon as we stepped inside. It was very clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were just right. It was reassuring knowing that the friendly people at the reception desk on the second floor were there to help us if we needed anything. Cooking our own meals in the kitchen and using the washing machine saved us a lot of money. The location was perfect, the views were breath taking, and the beautiful rooftop gardens were blooming as we walked the short distance to the Monoprix and nearby stores and cafes. The new mall was clean, light and very impressive. The taxi stand in front of the Novotel Hotel next door was very handy, although we walked to almost every place that we visited. The Eiffel Tower and RER station were nearby. Victor was very honest, kind, and helpful. On a scale of 1-5, this Paris apartment rates a 5+.
We had a great stay in Paris at Victors apartment. It was wonderful, and we hope to rent this apartment again soon. Victor was very helpful in making sure we had all the information we needed to make our arrival in Paris go smoothly. We stayed for one week with our 3 teenage daughters. It is a great location for exploring Paris, and has convenient shopping nearby. The appartment was very clean and well furnished. It was all we could of hoped for, and more. Thank you Victor for the wonderful dining suggestions, we dined at a couple and really enjoyed them. Thanks again for renting us your apartment!

John Huey to leave top spot at Time Inc.; Times union makes a deal with management
The Lineup collects the media stories, big and small, that are on our radar each day.
There's reportedly a big change coming down the pike at the top of Time Inc: Long-time editor-in-chief John Huey is expected to step down by the end of the year.
Story Continued Below
The New York Post's Keith Kelly reports:
Martha Nelson, a veteran of People and InStyle who is currently the No. 2 as the editorial director of the company, is expected to move into the top spot.
Although there is no longer mandatory retirement at age 65, Huey turns 65 next spring, and he's quietly been telling friends he will be leaving.
Sources say Huey has already accepted a Shorenstein fellowship for the spring semester at the Harvard Kennedy School. It's been a favorite stop for other top editors before him including Ben Bradlee of the Washington Post and Dan Okrent, the one-time public editor of the New York Times.
Huey was among the Time Inc. brass chowing down on roast chicken yesterday at Time's annual Person of the Year luncheon, which we reported on here.

Do you think that overproduction or declining profit rates have contributed to the present subprime loan crisis?
Question/Comment: Karl Marx, in his work "Capital," alluded to the idea that overproduction contributed to a general historical tendency of capitalism to be undermined by declining returns on capital. Do you think that overproduction or declining profit rates have contributed to the present subprime loan crisis?
Paul Solman: Nope. Declining regulation on lending, declining housing prices and rising interest rates are the culprits. See my attempt at an explanation, featuring the terrific economics explainer (and real estate guru) Karl "Chip" Case, a professor at Wellesley.

Creamed Mushroom Sandwiches.July 14, 2012 by Katie
Happy Saturday! A couple of weeks ago, we had picked up loads of mushrooms at the market. I wasn't totally sure what I was going to do with them, until I was watching Rachael Ray, and she made creamed chicken sandwiches. I immediately thought that mushrooms would be a great substitute for the chicken, making this dish a hearty vegetarian lunch.
This was a HUGE hit at my house. While, it's a little hot to spend much time cooking these days, this will be a winter staple, for sure!
Salt and pepper
1 cup of mushrooms, sliced
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup of flour
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup vegetable stock
3/4 cup frozen peas
1/2 red pepper, chopped
Toasted bread
Saute mushrooms in olive oil until tender.
In a sauce pan or deep skillet heat butter over medium heat. When it's hot, add flour a little at a time, stirring constantly. This will create a simple roux. After a few minutes, it will start to thin and look similar to gravy–this will be the base of the sauce. Start adding the heavy cream and the vegetable stock. The sauce will thicken as it cooks, continuing stirring and cooking on medium heat.
Add mushrooms, peas and red pepper. I like the peas and red pepper to have a bit of a crunch, so I only cook them until they're heated through. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve on toasted bread.

They just wanted to make their customers happy, but perhaps they went a bit too far: a Vietnamese budget airline has been fined 20 million dong ($960) for hosting g a bikini show on its flight last Friday, Tuoi Tre reported. VietJetAir's in-flight Hawaiian dance performance featured young, bikini-clad beauty pageant contestants. The airline was fined for hosting the show without permission from aviation officials after footage of the performance appeared on YouTube.
More from GlobalPost: When the BRICs crumble
"It was the first flight to a beach town, so we came up with the idea of getting a number of girls in bikinis to dance and make passengers happy to improve our customer service," a VietJetAir official told the Daily Mail.
The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam said that the airline also breached safety regulations by allowing passengers to use their cell phones and video cameras to record the show, Ninemsn reported. Watch a video of the performance below:

STUDENTS who spent a year fundraising for two schools in Kenya have just returned from the trip of a lifetime.
Two groups of students from New College each spent two weeks of their summer holiday in July volunteering at two schools in Nakuru, Kenya, with the Younite Outreach Project.
Both groups visited The Melon School for Orphans and the Silver Bells School, where they taught the youngsters in a range of subjects including Sport, Maths, English, Law, Business, Science, Music and Drama.
The New College students also helped with maintenance work at the schools including laying a new floor in one of the classrooms at Silver Bells and building a new fence at Melon.
"Everyone should have the opportunity to go out there and just experience what it's like to live in a different culture," said Tia Greenbridge, who was one of the 33 students who took part in the trip who each had to raise at least £1,400 to go.
Their fundraising included taking part in bag packs, sky dives, hosting local gigs and organising events such as a charity ball and talent show.
The 17-year-old from Walcot said: "The children have absolutely nothing but they are so happy and so respectful. It really taught me to appreciate what I have and now I think more about what I have and what I need, and I'm far more resourceful.
"For me, personally, it was my first trip away from my parents, so I became more independent and mature as well. But you don't realise until you come back what you've learned."
Fiona Simpson, Enrichment Co-ordinator at New College, set up the Younite Outreach Project after visiting both schools several years ago.
She said: "It is the fourth year we have taken the students out to help the two schools and it's open to all the students at the college.
"I think a lot of people think the students decide in the couple of weeks before the trip whether they want to go, but it's actually quite a big commitment they have to make throughout the year to work to raise the money.
"And I think it's actually quite a thing for a young person to say to themselves that they are going to raise the money so they can spend their summer helping children in Africa rather than going on holiday.
"In terms of our students at New College, the trip is a good enrichment opportunity where students can develop skills they won't learn in the classroom.
"Volunteering is also such a good thing to do. When you donate money you never know exactly where it is going but if you volunteer you can directly see the impact you're having.
"Over the past four years New College students have helped to build a new classroom, install mains water and water tanks so children can wash their hands after going to the toilet and before eating. And it's amazing the difference they have made."
Team Leader Sophie Moore was also struck by the experience.
She said: "This was my first trip to Kenya and it certainly changed my perspective on life.
"Our students worked incredibly hard to help give these children a better education and school environment.
"I am so proud of them for taking on such a big challenge at such a young age. This was a rewarding experience for everyone involved."
People in the community can also volunteer in Kenya through Younite Outreach Project.

A great base for a Brisbane holiday, Jacaranda House is superbly located on a high ridge road that is one of the best addresses in Brookfield, an inner city acreage suburb just 20 minutes from the city center. It is just a few minutes drive from Kenmore with its shopping villages, restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques and supermarkets. Express buses run half hourly from Kenmore to the city center.
Set in private and extensive acreage gardens, Jacaranda House is a newly renovated bungalow style house built in the 1960s with 3 bedrooms with one spacious bathroom with separate shower and bath. The ground floor level is the main living area of the house with living, dining and kitchen areas flowing onto the extensive deck with the main queen bedroom with single bed and also a second double bedroom and bathroom.
The house was built in underneath some years ago and this lower level is quite rustic but has a spacious third bedroom that relies on the bathroom upstairs and a tiny single bedroom with a trundle single suitable for children.
Timber floors were newly sanded and polished in July 2016. Quality rugs and artworks are a feature of the house with an open plan kitchen and living area being an effective design. The living and dining rooms open onto an extensive and very wide L shaped high set deck with fabulous rural views. The deck is perfect for relaxed entertaining or just for relaxing with a book. The well appointed living room has a new 50 inch Sharp LED 3 D TV and DVD player with an Apple TV with free access to a NETFLIX and STAN.
The living room has an older split system air conditioner and overhead fans. The main bedroom has a queen bed and also a single bed suitable for a child. It also has an overhead fan. The main bedroom queen bed has a Cloud Gen 2" down topper for extra comfort. The main bedroom mattress and double bed ensemble are top of the range Sealys just installed early 2016.
Both ground level bedrooms enjoy great views. The third double bedroom downstairs has a queen sized bed and garden views.
A super base to explore Brisbane from with the city just a 20 minute drive away. It is a quiet retreat for country style relaxing. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and Westfield Shoppingcentre are a short drive away.

i've been thinking about food a lot this week. as you might guess, this is not entirely unusual for me — as i am a major food lover and, obviously, blogger. but this week, i've been thinking especially hard about food for a few reasons. the first is that i began reading the book in defense of food, by michael pollan. i labored my way through his first book, omnivore's dilemma, perhaps because i am not an omnivore (there are long chapters about killing wild pigs and the beef industry that are slightly nauseating), or perhaps because it seemed too close to something i might have read in one of the many sociology classes i took in college – assigned but not thoroughly enjoyed reading. the second book, however, is my first suggestion to you – i am tearing through it, and taking a lot of what he says to heart. what's really resonated for me is his discussion of the importance of real, whole foods (not the store) – avocado, bananas, carrots, etc – instead of eating filler foods chemically designed to taste good and supply nutrients deemed important by the fda (think most commercial breakfast cereals and packaged frozen dinners). pollan questions whether food scientists have figured out what's important for people to consume yet, and notes that food is about so much more than nutrients – it's about the act of cooking with friends and family, interacting with them, savoring the taste of the food, and yes, there are nutrients in whole foods, but they are only part of the process. (thanks for hosting this "process" aka dinner this week, linn!)
unless you've been living in a cave for the past several months, i'm sure you're all quite aware of the economic crisis facing our country. while mike and i are lucky enough to remain in our excellent places of employment, and the majority of our friends are still working and not impacted by the tough times, it has brought up a new awareness for me about finances. now, mike and i are no financial gurus, but we've been using the website mint.com to set budgets and watch where we're spending our hard earned money. it's been eye opening to see how much of our money goes directly to food. and while this amount spent on food isn't exorbitant, there are definitely a lot of take out sushi expenditures, and we often throw uneaten produce into the worm compost bin.
recently, a good friend sent me an article from cnn.com with ideas for $10 meals and challenged me to "better and more vegetarian friendly version." so i am responding to the challenge with my own twist on saving money in the food realm, because i got frustrated quantifying how much money i spent on a specific meal, mostly since i pull lots of ingredients from my stocked cupboard (spices, flours, bouillon cubes, canned beans, etc). let's just say this post was inspired by the article above, but does not direct speak to it…and i promise to hone my pricing skills and get back to you.
hello, dear readers! my fabulous cuz sent me this link about the slow food movement and i thought i'd share it with all of you. have you heard of the movement? what do you think about it? what do you think about this article? does the slow food movement make sense in our current global economic times?
while i agree with most of the article's points, what really made me think was the statement: "We're all full of gastronomy, recipes etc. Turn on a TV anywhere in the world and you will see an idiot with a spoon. And every newspaper and magazine has recipes and a photo of the dish taken from above like a cadaver…We must normalise food rather than put it on a pedestal far out of reach." ok, so i am most certainly full of recipes, i may just be another "idiot" with a spoon, and i definitely take tons of pics of food, but my goal with this blog is to share with all of you how much fun i have cooking with seasonal and simple ingredients. i also try to convey my personal belief in the importance of enjoying the process of taking care of yourself by making healthy and delicious meals instead of eating calorie laden and nutrient deficient fast foods. so stay tuned for many, many more recipes!
i don't know about the rest of you, but i am extremely excited about our 44th president! the night before his inauguration, i was driving home and listening to npr when this story played over the airwaves. in case you're the kind of person who won't click on that link (meaning that you and i are more alike than you know!), an NPR correspondent interviewed members of the DC Central Kitchen. DC Central Kitchen is a charity organization that has grown in the past 20 years from collecting leftovers from previous inauguration dinners and distributing them to homeless shelters, into a culinary arts program for people who have been in prison or homeless. thus, instead of feeding people with challenging circumstances, the DC Central Kitchen now trains them and places them into jobs as the complete the program so they can feed themselves. for this inauguration, the DC Central Kitchen made over 8,000 shortbread cookies from Michelle Obama's own recipe. i haven't had a chance to try these out, but i wanted to share the inspirational story above as well as the recipe with you (recipe is after the jump). here's to a new administration of change and hope!

as it gets darker and colder, i'm having a kind of reverse spring cleaning urge – i've been busy organizing closets and cupboards and getting things updated and reordered here on my blog. (although i may just hibernate soon – i think a lot of the cleaning fervor came from election anxiety, and now that i know our country will be in amazing hands soon, i think i can safely tuck in for the winter : ) ).
one of my latest projects was sparked by the discovery of flour beetles in flour we were about to use to make a cake for my mom's birthday. we promptly threw out the flour, bought brand new stuff, and made a delicious cake. but the incident (and worry about future outbreaks) was enough to launch me into hours of consolidating bulk foods into existing containers and then buying new containers to house boxed foods (corn meal, corn starch, cake flour, couscous, etc). by the time all items were securely repackaged into airtight containers, as shown above, i was tired but excited to have accomplished the feat (i should have taken a before pic!).
the other big project mike and i undertook last weekend (after having tons of fun on halloween) was to make some changes to this website (ok, mike is the one who has made all the changes – i just had some ideas). on the right column of my blog, you'll see that you can enter your email address to receive an email every time that i post, so you don't have to keep checking the website if you don't subscribe to the rss feed. also in the right column, you can now select a category (breakfast, entree, soup, salad, dessert) to look through all recipes or posts in that genre. and if you scroll past my blog lists, you'll see a better tag cloud in case you're looking for a recipe for a specific ingredient, and as always, the search option below that.
please let me know if there are any other ways i can make my site more conducive to you, my dearest readers, and thank you in advance for any input you might have!

Ask a Vet and Get Your Veterinary Questions Answered.
Good Morning and welcome. I am Dr. Loretta , a licensed veterinarian and am happy to answer your question.
I have a few questions to help me better assist you.
What are your vets looking for?
What are the symptoms?
Thank you!
Sincerely, XXXXX XXXXX
She has always been a LOUD dog w/elongated palate. I came home last week and she was almost falling over. Tongue out, ... legs giving out, .. lethargic. They have looked at neck (ultrasound) and heart. They are now doing a Laryngeal exam + bronchoscopy and CT of cervical. They say if she has "collapse" it will do her more harm to snip the palate as it causes swelling and dog's tend to go downhill.... They are hoping it is something more simple (some type of bubble that forms?) But, .. if they don't do procudure......... what can I expect?
Does that make sense to you, Sam?
Please let me know if you have ANY other questions. My goal is to give you 100% satisfaction and if you are not yet satisfied, please Reply so I can clarify for you

It is possible that ebooks cost about the same to produce (meaning the writing, editing, and formatting) as physical books. But as techology has developed these costs have gone down. For example, the entire process can now be done electronically and the only time the book actually takes a physical form is when the final version is printed.
However, there is a difference when the book is in final form. With ebooks, there is little releasing cost (meaning no printing, packing, shipping, storage, and store sales charges) that are associated with physical books. About the only thing that ebooks require before final release is to format them for the appropriate reader.
To illustrate: a book in the public domain is available for free and is formatted for your reader. The cost of the book to you is $0.00. The same book as a printed paperback book costs $5.25 ($5.00 plus 5 percent local sales tax). In both cases, there is no production cost, but only the printed book has a releasing cost.
Just my thoughts, please feel free to correct me if I got something wrong.

Kidney Diseases
BUN/Creatinine ratio
What does a high BUN/creatinine ratio mean regarding the kidneys? My ratio is 29. Should I be concernd and see a specialist?
My doctor did not comment with anything about this reading. My BUN is 23 and my creatinine is 8. Thank you
If your ratio is 29 then your creatinine is 0.8mg/dl and NOT 8.0. Since your creatinine is very likely normal (what is normal varies with sex, age and race) you are not likely to have any kidney disease if your urine-analysis is also normal.
The BUN can vary on a daily basis depending on your fluid intake and your diet and is not a reliable indicator of your kidney function. I wouldn't be concerned about this very slight elevation of the ratio (a normal ratio is about 10) as it is not clinically important.

Three kids seems to be a good fit for Julia Roberts, 40. Her new baby Henry is 4 months old, and twins Hazel and Phinnaeus , turn 3 this month.
She didn't say for sure, but she hinted in December's Vanity Fair that they may be done.
"At this point I'm having so much fun with [her three children]," Roberts — who turned 40 on October 28 — says. "You only have so much energy and you want to put so much energy into each child. I wouldn't know how to have five kids. And they're really a good trio, these three."
I really can't wait to see Henry, I wonder if he has red hair?
Read more of Julia's interview after the jump where she talks about paparazzi taking photos of celebrities' children
Thanks to Faded Youth for the cover photo!
Julia on the frenzy surrounding today's young celebrities:
"I think it's just grotesque. It's like a circus sideshow. I don't know why anybody would even want to go into show business these days, with all of the different magazines and shows. It just wouldn't be worth it. And it's too fast. Before, you could build a career over years and many movies. Now it's like you do one good movie and they throw a ton of money at you and a ton of attention at you. You're being constructed outside of yourself before you even know who you are, and what you are, and how you want to do it, and why you want to do it."
Julia on paparazzi taking photos of celebrities' children:
"I just feel like it's so demeaning the way they behave, and I hate the fact that I even put any of my energy into thinking about it or being stressed about it. And really, more than anything, it just has to do with my kids. There's no reason to take pictures of celebrities' children other than for people to say, "Oh, they're cute." I think magazines shouldn't run pictures of people's kids. I have a problem with that. I also have a problem with the whole notion that, if I have Henry in a sling, I'm hiding him. He's a baby and I'm carrying him around, and so's the lady across the street. I get pissed off, because I think that it's inhuman to chase a woman with her children."
Julia on how celebs are just like normal people:
"We're all the same. Why can't we get on board with this? That we're all the same. Some have cooler jobs, some have less cool jobs, some have longer legs, some are nicer people, but we're all the same. We're all orbiting the same sun." Julia on diapers: "I use Seventh Generation [chlorine-free, nontoxic] diapers for Finn and Hazel, and then I was turned on to the [plastic-free, flushable] gDiapers. Henry's got a gDiaper on.… I would recommend them overall. It is flushable, but you've got to stir that thing! If you don't really break it all the way up, it doesn't go all the way down."
Julia on if her kids wanted to get into acting:
"I would call Natalie Portman's mother. Natalie is such a good actress, but she seems like such a sensible person. I asked her about it one day when we were doing Closer, and she said she only worked with people that her parents trusted, and she only worked when it didn't impact her school. So there were definitely guidelines. No one does it that way, but they did it, so it can be done. I hope I don't face that, though, because I think kids should be kids and childhood should be filled with … you know that smell, when your kids come in and they smell like dirt and sweat and sunshine? That's what I hope for my kids."
Julia on how it felt to be the first woman to earn more than $20 million [for Erin Brockovich]:
"Just as good as it would if you were a man, I bet. I mean, I guess I shouldn't belittle it like that. I should take pride in being a forerunner, even if it's something that seems kind of stupid, like being overpaid for a great job. But I don't really think about it. Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas was my agent then, and she took a real position, as a woman in the industry representing a woman, to make strides in that way. So she really deserves credit. It was really a thing for her."
Julia on getting back into shape after having children:
"I have been working out, but listen, it is 97 percent genetics. Don't let anybody tell you any crap about anything else, because that's what it is: 97 percent genetics and 3 percent just get your ass moving. Because I've never met a cookie I didn't like."

The LV= County Championship season that began for Nottinghamshire back in mid-April when Kent visited Trent Bridge has come right down to the wire with the destiny of the title still undecided.
Over the next few days the eyes of the cricket-watching community will be firmly centred on three grounds in the north of England to see which of Notts, Somerset or Yorkshire will emerge to take the 2010 spoils.
Leaders Notts go to Old Trafford to play Lancashire holding a two point cushion at the top, second-placed Somerset are in the north east to face Durham whilst Yorkshire are the only contenders with home advantage, facing Kent at Headingley Carnegie.
The equation is simple for Notts – win and only drop a couple of bonus points (three and they could still do it on most wins!) and they would be sure to finish top, no matter what their rivals do.
If winning at Old Trafford has proved difficult in recent times though for the Robin Hood county – the same can also be said for their hosts. All four matches on the ground since the millennium have been drawn. Last year Adam Voges hit 95 for Notts whilst Ashwell Prince – who has also spent time on the Trent Bridge staff – added an unbeaten century for Lancs.
The last positive results for each side were in 1999 for the home team – and 1997 when Notts won by 6 wickets. Although it's more than 13 years since that fixture was played two participants are also likely to be involved this week – Glenn Chapple and Paul Franks.
"The current crop of Nottinghamshire players have more than individual landmarks to strive for, with domestic cricket's ultimate prize just one good performance away."
In all 94 first class games between the two at Old Trafford the overall head-to-head is shaded by the Red Rose county – 39 to 15, with 40 draws.
Only one Notts batter has ever registered a 'double ton' in Manchester, Reg Simpson compiled 238 in 1949. Mike Smedley, the current President, scored a century in each innings there in the 1971 match and director of cricket Mick Newell will also have fond memories of the ground having hit 116 in the 1987 draw.
The current crop of Nottinghamshire players have more than individual landmarks to strive for, with domestic cricket's ultimate prize just one good performance away. There are, however, a handful of milestones which may come up this week.
Chris Read is currently leading the race to 1,000 runs for the season – beginning the week on 933 runs (904 in the championship and 29 in the first class friendly v Durham UCCE). Mark Wagh is just behind – his 90 on Thursday has lifted him to 921 and Ali Brown could also threaten if he has a good match – currently on
Andre Adams, helped by a four match sequence which has brought him 28 wickets, has now become the country's leading wicket-taker with 66, just one ahead of Gloucestershire's Gemaal Hussain. Read now also has 62 wicket keeping dismissals and has moved well clear of his closest rivals Jonathan Batty and James Foster.
Incidentally, much was made of the importance of the toss against Yorkshire. Statistics would say that the Notts skipper should have a good chance of calling correctly on Monday morning. In the 15 championship matches this season Chris has only won it on 6 occasions and has lost the last three tosses in a row!
Lancashire's most recent 'home' fixture was played in Liverpool – but of the six championship matches played at Old Trafford this season they have won one, drawn four, and lost their most recent – against Durham last month.
One good performance will do it lads - good luck!
Dave Bracegirdle will provide ball-by-ball commentary on behalf of BBC Radio Nottingham throughout Nottinghamshire's LV= County Championship match against Lancashire at Old Trafford.

Swartland Winery is situated north of Cape Town, near the town of Malmesbury in the Swartland. Apart from being a popular wine destination, the Swartland is also one of the major wheat producing areas in South Africa.
The vineyards benefit from the constant cool breezes that blow off the Atlantic Ocean, effectively sustaining the many microclimates, while the proximity to mountain ranges adds it own dimension to the physical character of the fruit.
The soils and dry land conditions have proved ideal for the cultivation of grapes in the traditional bush vine style. These untrellised vines are left to grown naturally with minimal human intervention. The dry land conditions result in lower yields of smaller berries with a more concentrated structure that, in a natural way, produce wines with ripe tannins, concentrated aromas and bold fruit flavours – offering excellent raw material for the cellar master to produce a superb choice of outstanding wines.
Over the past 65 years this well known winery has changed from a cooperative cellar into a wine company with three business units that offer our clients an all-in-one wine experience.
- The Production Facilities where the cellar master selects and blends his wine for various brands, include a state of the art laboratory that is rated as one of the best in the wine industry.
- The Bottling Department can accommodate a variety of bottled as well as 'bag in the box' wines within very competitive time frames.
- The Marketing Division focuses on global sales of a selection of sought-after brands and assists their bottling clients with logistical and administrative support.
The focus of Swartland Winery is to provide a continuous supply of world class wine and service that conform to and exceed the highest international standards, to all our valued clients.

William J. Gianarris et al., Center For Psychological Studies, Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida sought to clarify issues regarding the proper use of this instrument. These researchers report that there has been a general willingness to accept the Conners' scale at face value over the last 30 years with little specific research into its validity and reliability. This lack of targeted research makes a critical review difficult. A total of 108 studies published over the last three decades were reviewed. Nearly half were rejected as lacking statistical adequacy or for other inaccuracies. Most of the remaining studies took for granted the diagnostic and psychometric properties of the assessment, which has been used to diagnose, to track therapeutic progress, and to validate other instruments.
These researchers do not believe that all of these uses are valid. These scales have undergone significant revisions since they were first published in 1970, but they have not been re-evaluated in light of the variety of purposes for which they are used by educators and clinicians. The Conners' scale consists of questions intended to assess problematic behavior in children across a wide range of areas. Each item includes a brief description of a potentially problematic behavior that the parent is asked to rate on a four-point scale. The number of questions and the areas evaluated have changed with the different versions of the test developed over the years.
Gianarris et al. point out that the Conners' scale is not a direct measure of the child's behavior, but a reflection of parental perception. It is subject to parental mood and ability, time spent with the child, motivation for seeking treatment, and parents' tendency to be concerned about certain behaviors while overlooking others. These factors all have a significant impact on the resulting scores. These researchers state that while this instrument has appropriate applications, it is often used beyond the scope of its proven effectiveness. Studies show that the scale consistently distinguishes children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder from normal children. It also appears to be a reliable and valid tool to screen for abnormal behavior, but can not be used to diagnose specific disorders. These researchers conclude that, therefore, there are only three valid uses for the Conners' Parent-Rating Scales. It is a reliable general screening device for abnormal behavior, an ancillary diagnostic aid to add evidence for an existing diagnosis, and a valid measure of progress from treatment.
These researchers stress that the Conners' scale should not be used to diagnose, but only as a screening device to help target children who may need medical or psychological evaluation and treatment. Despite this restriction, its comprehensive nature and standardized administration make it a good complement to diagnostic evaluations. In addition, treatment outcomes can be effectively monitored through the use of an abbreviated form of the scale. The abbreviated form has been shown to be especially effective in detecting behavior change in response to treatment. These researchers warn, however, that there tends to be a significant drop in score between the first and second administrations of the scale. They recommend that the assessment be given twice before treatment is initiated so comparisons can be made on the basis of the second administration. In addition, they caution that scores will differ significantly when it is adapted for use with teachers, since teachers and parents have different perceptions and perspectives of the child.

TALLAHASSEE — With Florida a crucial state in the 2012 presidential election, the state Legislature wants to overhaul election laws in ways critics say would help the Republican Party maintain its dominance.
The Senate is pushing a bill to cut early voting time by half, make it harder for grass roots groups to register voters and require people to vote provisionally if they moved since the last time they voted — a change elections supervisors say would affect college students the most. The bill, SB 2086, passed the Republican-controlled Rules Committee on Friday on a 10-2 vote.
Legislators say their goal is more convenient and less expensive voting machinery. But with President Barack Obama needing Florida's 29 electoral votes to win a second term, skeptics say the GOP-dominated Legislature is showing it has more than a passing interest in how the next election is run. All 160 legislative seats also will be up for grabs in 2012 because of reapportionment.
The 140-page Senate elections amendment was sponsored by Sen. John Thrasher, R-St. Augustine, who chairs the Rules Committee and is the immediate past chairman of the Republican Party of Florida.
Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, R-Miami, defended the bill as voter-friendly, noting that it makes it easier for voters to request absentee ballots. But the proposed changes drew fire from election supervisors as well as the League of Women Voters, which successfully sued the state to block a previous round of restrictions on third-party voter registration efforts.
"We would hope to avoid going back to court," said Ben Wilcox of the League of Women Voters. "We believe that citizens should be active, engaged, and informed participants in democracy."
The bill also would push back the primary election by one week to Sept. 4, the day after the three-day Labor Day weekend holiday. Supporters said the change is needed so that the election won't conflict with the Republican National Convention in Tampa, scheduled the previous week. Moving the primary would allow fundraising to continue during the GOP convention.
The bill would force voters who do not go to the correct precincts to cast provisional ballots — which are only counted in some cases. Since 1973, Florida has allowed voters to update their address at a polling place.
Elections supervisors oppose a provision that allows Secretary of State Kurt Browning, an appointee of Gov. Rick Scott, to issue written orders to supervisors, who are elected constitutional officers.
But what drew the most heat Friday was the Senate's insistence that early voting be curtailed from two weeks to one. A surge in early voting was widely cited as a major factor in Obama's 2008 victory in Florida, and then-Gov. Charlie Crist extended early voting hours because of long lines at early voting centers.
"Generally, early voting in Miami-Dade County has not been very efficient," Diaz de la Portilla said. "What you see more often than not is that there is a trickle of two or three people a day at a very high cost to keep those public libraries and polls open. … We felt it was an efficiency measure."
Sen. Gwen Margolis, D-Aventura, said the crush of early voters in the last presidential election showed that two weeks of early voting is not enough. She called the bill a "Machiavellian" act by Republicans.
"It will disenfranchise and really anger a lot of people who are standing in line," Margolis said. "I just think that it's a very, very bad thing to do."
Diaz de la Portilla called the criticism "offensive, unfair and I think it's plain wrong."
Margolis and Sen. Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale, cast the only votes against the bill. A third Democrat, Sen. Gary Siplin of Orlando, voted yes. Sen. Dennis Jones, R-Seminole, voted yes, after criticizing the idea of moving the primary to the day after Labor Day, warning it will complicate planning by elections officials.
The state Division of Elections said nearly one of every five people who voted in the 2010 general election voted at an early voting site, about the same number as cast absentee ballots.
Friday's developments came a day after the House advanced its own controversial election bill, HB 1355, which also imposes new registration requirements and time limits on third-party voter registration drives that do not also apply to political parties.
The Florida Democratic Party said in a statement from executive director Scott Arceneaux the past two statewide elections have gone smoothly and there's no need for major changes.
"The only thing the Republicans are doing with this bill is trying to game the system to help Republicans," he said.
Steve Bousquet can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or (850) 224-7263.
This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:About 1.3 million people cast absentee ballots in the November 2010 general election, about the same number as voted early. The year of the election and the comparison between absentee and early voters were incorrect in a story Saturday.
