You went on for pages building a sympathetic case as to why the coldblooded killer Jeremy Gross shouldn't get the death penalty. The life and character of the young man cruelly murdered, Christopher Beers, took less than a paragraph to describe. I guess since he's dead, he didn't matter, eh?

Despite struggling to make ends meet, THQ is still powering forward, trying their best to overcome their financial hurdle. With low shares, at about $ 1.20, and exploration of all sorts of financial strategies, the company is really trying, but the truth is, it's looking grim.
To add extra pressure to the mix, THQ's Chief Financial Officer, Paul Pucino, has resigned. He has not named a successor. The company is currently finding their feet financially where they no longer have a CFO.
"We would like to thank Paul for his significant contributions over the past four years and wish him well in his future endeavors," said THQ CEO, Brian Farrell.
Moving forward is going to be tough, but with all the consulting that THQ is undergoing, it should be fine.
Then, following that, THQ has noted that they have successfully negotiated a forbearance agreement with Wells Fargo. The forbearance agreement means that the Wells Fargo won't exercise their rights for a certain period. This is important to THQ's progress, as the company recently defaulted on a payment to Wells Fargo. The agreement between the companies will run until 15 January, where Wells Fargo will continue to pay money to THQ.
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Wells Fargo. This agreement enables us to continue focusing on bringing our games in development to market," said Brian Farrell, THQ's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Meanwhile, we are evaluating financial alternatives that will transition the company into its next phase."
Continued funding to THQ is important, as they have three games which need completion: Metro: Last Light, South Park: The Stick of Truth and Company of Heroes 2. The release of these games could help THQ quite a bit, financially.

To Negative Infinity - And Beyond
"In short, the banks loaned every additional dime of the trillions of dollars that they took in! And then more on top of that! No additional reserves at all! Not a freaking additional dime of reserves has been added in a decade or more!"
I look around the Hopefully Impregnable Mogambo Fortress Of Fear (HIMFOF) and wonder why I am so scared. Things don't "feel" right. I am nervous. I am edgy. I am, obviously, armed to the teeth, trigger-happy and "an accident waiting to happen."
My major problem is that money is being lost by the ton all over the place, as prices of assets are being discovered to be as flimsy and whimsical as a Mogambo promise to let someone else have the TV remote control "as soon as this program is over", which is a lie and everybody knows it. But as angry as they are about that remote control thing, I notice that people get angrier about losing money - especially lots of money.
Trust me; I know what I am talking about. Like the other night when my son sat down on the couch, 35 cents rolled out of his pocket. So I, quick as a bunny, reached out and scooped it up! Man, he was angry as hell!
And it is not just him; lots and lots of people are losing lots and lots of money. So I look at Total Fed Credit, the magical fount from whence springs credit in the banks, and I note with some alarm that it is actually down by $3.181 billion last week. I gulp in horror! Down!
This means that people are losing money and no new money is being created by the Fed to replace it! Yikes! This is Bad, Bad News Of The Monetary Kind (BBNOTMK), which is comically indicated by the way my eyeballs quiver in their sockets in my raw, unreasoning panic, meaning we are freaking doomed!
I know that you don't believe me, because I was at the street corner all morning long, yelling this same news to all the people who were driving through the intersection, and none of them believed me, either! Weird! Lots of horn blowing, obscene words and gestures, and the throwing of half-empty coffee cups at me, but no belief!
And they didn't believe the sign I had hung around my neck, either, which said, "Will work for food", which shows that they are particularly good judges of character. The fact that people can immediately discern that I am a lazy, worthless bum who hates work is surprising when these same people are so stupid about the inflationary implications of the Federal Reserve creating so much money and credit during a boom, and are now showing that same degree of ignorance at the bust! So I helpfully tell them "We're freaking doomed, you moron!" but they drive away without saying things like, "Hooray for the Mogambo for alerting us to this very important fact!" or "Bravo, brave Mogambo for exposing the demons at the Federal Reserve and in Congress (except Ron Paul)!"
So instead of fruitlessly arguing with you, too, about the implications of this drop in the creation of excess money and credit, I will merely raise my Bony Mogambo Index Finger (BMIF) and point you to Ludwig von Mises himself, who noted, "The boom can last only as long as the credit expansion progresses at an ever-accelerated pace. The boom comes to an end as soon as additional quantities of fiduciary media are no longer thrown upon the loan market."
And in case you are of the weird and thoroughly-modern neo-Keynesian persuasion which says that all that is ever needed is more and cheaper money provided by the banking system at lower and lower interest rates, which means that you actually believe that there can never be too much debt and that debt can grow exponentially forever, then I will not come over there and slap your ignorant face, but merely again point to Mises, who says, "But it could not last forever even if inflation and credit expansion were to go on endlessly. It would then encounter the barriers which prevent the boundless expansion of circulation credit. It would lead to the crack-up boom and the breakdown of the whole monetary system."
It is times like now that I realize the value of education, and wish that I had paid more attention in school instead of acting like some juvenile delinquent moron and thus having to endure my parents endlessly arguing with the principal about whether I am the spawn of Satan or not. I now rue my ignorance because I cannot calculate how much freaking money comes from $3.181 billion of new credit when multiplied times the fractional-reserve multiplier in the banks.
I mean, if the banks must keep in reserves 10% of deposits, like in the classic textbook example, then the first bank in the chain can lend out 90% of this new deposit of Fed credit, or 0.90($3.181 billion) = $2.863 billion, and when that loaned money is ultimately deposited by the recipients into other banks, those banks can then loan out another 0.90($2.863) = $2.577 billion, and then when that money is loaned and ultimately deposited in other banks, those banks can lend out another 0.90($2.577 billion) =$2.319 billion, on and on and on until the last dollar is borrowed from the next-to-the last bank in the chain and deposited into the last bank in the chain.
To find the total amount of new money created, you have you add it all up, hour after hour of struggling with a stupid calculator, making mistake after mistake and having to start over again and over again until you are so frustrated and angry that you hit the little buttons so hard with your finger that you hurt yourself, and there is blood all over the calculator, and your finger is hurting like hell and you are raving, screaming, insanely mad.
Then, demonstrating Heroic Mogambo Determinism (HMD), you finally, at long last, your finger throbbing, find that the sum total of new money created is actually equal to the inverse of the fractional reserve multiplier times the amount of money deposited!
This means I could have merely multiplied the stupid $3.181 billion times 10 to get the answer, instead of laboriously adding them all up, one by one! This is a HUGE freaking time-saver, about which I learned only AFTER the nightmare described above, and that is why I remember it so well, with scars and a ruined calculator to remind me of the ordeal.
The point is that the "required reserves" in the banks is still about the same stinking $42 billion that it has been for the last eight years! No change! In short, the banks loaned every additional dime of the trillions of dollars that they took in! And then more on top of that! No additional reserves at all! Not a freaking additional dime of reserves has been added in a decade or more!
So you can see how my Puny Mogambo Brain (PMB) is confused and stymied in performing simple, first-day-of-class algebra; if deposits went up but reserves remained the same, then reserves are literally zero against new deposits, and thus the fractional-reserve multiplier is infinite! Infinite! How in the hell do you multiply $3.181 billion times infinity?
I know, thanks to Awesome Mogambo Powers Of Extra-Sensory Perception (AMPOESP), what you are thinking. Half of you are saying to yourselves, "What in the hell is this Dumb Mogambo Moron (DMM) yammering about, and why in the hell should I care about any of this? I am only here to find a way to get rich quick! And so this banking crap means nothing to me! Nothing! Let's get out of here and grab some lunch early so we'll be done by the time The Mogambo gets there, and then we won't have to be disgusted watching him eat, or keep him from stealing food off our plates!" And the other half of you are thinking, "Anything times infinity is infinity, you Brain-Damaged Moron (BDM)."
Pausing a brief moment to make a little note to myself to lower all your grades and ruin your GPAs in Petty Mogambo Revenge (PMR), either about that hurtful "lunch" crack or out of envy at your mathematical skills, I then say, "I can understand multiplying $3.181 billion by infinity to get infinity, but if you remember, which you probably don't because you are a bunch of low-IQ, crack-smoking, teenage scumbag trash, we are talking about a FALL of $3.181 billion in Total Fed Credit."
Seeing the blank looks of confusion on their faces, I explain, "Now multiply it out, observing the signs, and you get negative infinity, you ignorant human garbage! Negative infinity! What in the hell is negative infinity, you Lowlife Student Halfwits (LSH) who won't even share one lousy little piece of pizza with me? I hate you! I hate you all! And I will probably end up strangling half of you before the semester ends, and I will spit on your graves!"
Instantly, I could see that I had made a big impression on them, because they all got up and left, muttering under their breaths, probably to go out and ponder the imponderable, think the unthinkable, namely the existence of negative infinity, only to reach the inevitable conclusion, "We're freaking doomed!", thus attaining True Mogambo Enlightenment (TME). Ommmm.

This is an open thread if you have any specific questions on how AV works in Australia, how it has performed in the past, how it might be different in the UK.
Try and keep questions narrow and on the process rather than broad and conceptual.
« How the 2010 Australian Election Could Have Looked Using First-past-the-post Voting | Main | An Example of Non-Monotonicity and Opportunites for Tactical Voting at an Australian Election »
Hi Antony,
I'm Australian so you don't need to explain Preferential Voting (AV) to me. But I'd like to ask you a question since your in the UK,
-> What percentage of British people do you think really understand AV ?
(As I've been astonished reading some of the articles on UK news websites)
ANSWER: I think it is possible to overstate detailed knowledge of preferential voting in Australia, but it is fair to state that most Australians understand the winner has to be on top after preferences, not on first preferences.
The switch from thinking in first past the post to preferential terms is the hardest conceptual point to get across. I'm not sure how well understood that is, but UK experience with tactical voting means there is a significant number of people who would like a change to a system where they don't have to vote tacticaly.
Hi Antony,
Sometimes preferential voting gives an opportunity to an Independent or Minor Party representative to represent an electorate that they wouldn't otherwise. I'm wondering how often such members win a second term?
I'm most interested in the fate of these members because it seems that tactical voting in FPTP freezes them out, preventing them from gaining a foothold in the political landscape. So, if AV is giving opportunities to minor parties and Independents, I want to know how often they take advantage of that.
So, for the sake of a statistical measure, could you tell me what percentage of members who didn't belong to one of the two major parties, who won through on preferences (didn't lead after the first round of the vote) under AV in NSW (so to avoid the One Nation phenomenon that we're all aware of in Qld distorting the statistics), won further terms in succeeding elections? Is this any different under full preferential voting in Australia?
ANSWER: I don't have exact numbers, but the experience with many Independent members in all Australian parliaments is that they usually need preferences to get elected the first time, but once elected, they can usually win much more comfortably at subsequent elections.
Hi Antony
Another Aussie in the UK...
My sense is that AV/Preferential Voting is not inherently better for one side of the political spectrum than another. Yet time and again, we hear uninformed UK "pundits" confidently announce that AV would favour the Lib Dems, or FPTP favours the Tories. Does the Australian experience give any evidence for anything of the sort?
(My gut instinct is that it doesn't and that the more relevant factor is the level of splintering on each side of the political spectrum - as such, I actually suspect the Tories would do quite well from harvesting preferences from the right-wing UKIP and the loony-wing BNP).
Thanks for all your work on this.
COMMENT: Australia does not have a third party as significant as the Liberal Democrats, so comparisons between Australia and the UK on this are not directly relevant. Why the Liberal Democrats are predicted to do better under AV is that they finish second in so many seats. In some of these where the leading candidate fell well short of 50%, the LibDem candidate would have the chance of being elected on the preferences of the third running Labour or Conservative candidate.
Antony, how long do you think it would take to do an AV count.? For the NI Assembly here we can do a 6 member STV in a about a day and a quarter/day and a half (if not sooner) so I'd guess it would be a bit shorter than that.
Certainly not as long as it takes in Austraila anyway, as you have a 10 day rule on absentee ballots, don't you?
COMMENT: The 10 day delay comes about on finalising the first preference count. That would not apply to a UK count because all ballot papers are brought to one place on the night, the first preference count would be finalised at once as it is done now, and then a preference count could be undertaken.
A UK result declaration currently has two stages, the verification and the count. The verification is undertaken first and verifies the number of ballot papers in each ballot box against the number of papers issued. Once the verification of all boxes is complete, a count of the votes received by each candidate is undertaken.
In assessing the cost and time and based on 2010 results, you can immediately rule that one thid of the constituencies would require no preference count as the highest polling candidate had more than 50%, so the cost would be exactly the same as the current count.
In NI, STV sees any candidate with a quota of votes distributed first. This means that many more ballot papers are re-handled under STV than under an AV count that begins with the lowest polling candidates.
In my examination of NSW and Queensland AV elections, the worst case I could find was the situation where half the ballot papers had to be re-examined. It was actually quite rare for more than one-third of ballot papers to be re-examined, and the average number that needed to be re-examined was 20%.
So to estimate how long a count would take, just work out how long the first preference tally count would take in the current system, and where required an estimate of how many ballots would need to be re-examined. At a worst case, it would be 50% of the time of the first preference count, but normally would be less than this.
Remember though that the count does not take place until the verification is complete for every ballot box, and it is usually the verification count which is the slow part of the process.
Hi Antony,
I'm a UK Student following the Referendum campaign intently. An excellent blog by the way.
I wanted to ask for clarification on compulsory voting - probably the biggest difference between Australian AV and the UK's proposed version. Your system is compulsory in two senses: mandating turnout and requiring full preferences on the ballot itself. But since preferential voting predates compulsory voting, does this mean that preference stating before 1925 was optional, or was it already compulsory to state full preferences?
Also, is there any evidence from Australian states that do not practice compulsory ballot preferences of how many preferences voters tend to state, given the option to choose?
ANSWER: Prefernces were compulsory from the beginning in 1919, two elections before compulsory voting. Some of the states had much longer gaps between compulsory preferences and compulsory voting.
In NSW and Queensland, where AV or optional preferential voting is used, the number of preferences has tended to decline over time, and roughly 50% of NSW and Queensland minor party voters now exhaust. It may have been even higher at the recent NSW election.
Hi Antony,
I'm an Australian who has been following the referrendum with interest. I've noticed that one of the "alternate" no campaigns is to vote no in favour of a future referrendum in favour of a more proportional system.
Do you know what type of system they are talking about? and if so, what type of parties would most benefit? I can understand this working in the upper house, but would this mean the boundaries for the lower house are redrawn after elections?
COMMENT: What PR system would be used is unclear. Three PR systems are currently in use in the United Kingdom. The Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly use an Additional Member systems, with first past the post local consituencies with a second vote for top-up additional members by list PR. The Northern Irish Assembly and Scottish local government use the Single Transferable Vote in multi-member constituencies, pretty similar to Hare-Clark in Australia, and elections from the UK to the European Parliament use close list proportional representation, where there are regional party lists and you vote for a party rather than a candidate.
The is also a system known as AV Plus, invented by the Jenkins Commission on the electoral system but never implemented. It is a variant of the additional member system, but voting in individual consistencies is by AV, with top-up additional members by proportional representation as in Scotland.
Antony, I think under AV+ the party lists are open (like a BTL in Australia) rather than closed under the AMS used in Scotland and Wales.
COMMENT: The system has notr been implemented.
Hi Antony,
Did AV contribute to the collapse of the Australian Democrats? To what extent could it be said to encourage a two-party system? Did the Democrats rely on localised support in the same way the Lib Dems do in the UK?
COMMENT: No, not at all. Australian Democrat support was always evenly spread so they had very little chance of winning lower house seats. They disappeared because they failed to properly explain why they negotiated with the Howard government on implementation of its Goods and Services Tax (as if there is something wrong with a government implementing its platform of policies), and also because of the growth of the Greens. There may be some comparison with the LibDems decision to form a Coalition with the Conservatives. As with the Australian Democrats and the GST, the Lib-Con coalition was always possible under party policy, but something of a surprise to many soft-left voters.
I know you say that preferential voting does not involve voting twice(your post 19 April) but that to my mind does not answer the crticisism that voters for minor parties are being given an advantage.What justification is there for the transferable vote(as you have described it) being worth the same value(each time) as the first vote,other than for the convenience of the electoral system?If the second preference was not worth the same as the first preference it would put an end to tactical voting(or at least discourage it).
ANSWER: Voters for minor parties are also disadvantaged because their first choice candidate cannot win, while only the candidates whose first preferences remain in the count can win.
As I keep saying, AV is simply a paper implementation of exhaustive balloting, such as the Olympics ballot. No one ever quibbles about rounds of voting in an exhaustive ballot, suggesting somhow that the excluded candidates are somehow advantaged over candidates remaining in the count.
In the Olympic exhaustive ballot, no one suggested the voters for excluded cities such as Moscow, New York and Madrid received an advantage over voters for London and Paris. At each round of the count as someone is excluded, all voters were presented the new shorter list of candidates and get a vote. There vote does not receive less weight. It is the same with AV, at each round, the ballot papers are presented with the new shorter list of candidates.
The same reasoning applies around not discounting preferences. However, as under AV voters do not have to fill in all preferences, ballot papers can exhaust during the count, reach a point where the ballot paper no longer has a preference for candidates remaining in the count. These exhausted ballot papers always advantage the candidate with the highest first preference count.
I'd also point out that reducing the value of preferences would encourgae, not discourage, tactical voting. Reducing the value of preferences would just push the system towards first past the post voting, reducing the incentive for voters to vote for their real preferred candidate as their preferences would be reduced, so to have full effect, voters would need to continue tactical voting as they do now under first past the post.
Northern Ireland uses STV to elect not just the Northern Ireland Assembly but also in local government and for the European Parliament (since the first European Parliament Elections in 1979 unlike the closed list PR in Britain which was introduced in 1999 to replace FPTP).
Antony, what do you predict or expect the final outcome to roughly be on the day?
ANSWER: All polls indicate a substantial lead for the No side, and if repeated on polling day, this would result in the defeat of the referendum and the continuance of first past the post voting.
Minor point regarding the fall of the Democrats - I think it's unlikely the GST was a major factor as:
1) They went to the 1998 election saying they would support a GST, and got a good vote.
2) They got a good vote in 2001 despite having passed the GST.
3) By the time that their vote declined badly in 2004, the GST well past being a hot button issue.
My personal preferred explanation for their demise was the serious leadership instability they went through. But yes, absolutely in no way was it a result of AV.
COMMENT: Point 1 is a major cause of the dispute, did the party have or not have a policy that left open supporting a GST. This was transormed into an insane bitter debate about whether GST on books was in line with party policy, which led to all the silliness of the leadership dispute.
You are right, the GST did not lead to the immediate demise of the Australian Democrats at the 2001 election, but it led to the bitter disputes that followed, and became a major stick the Greens used to appeal to former Democrat supporters.
It also destroyed the Democrat appeal to the uncommited voters who used to split their vote between the two houses. No matter how illogical it was, the line that the party was no longer keeping the bastards honest resonated with some voters.
The issue was no longer the GST, it was the actions of the Democrats that was the issue to some voters, whatever the merits of their actions.
Dear Antony
Re the answer to (Joe | April 27, 2011 at 06:28 AM) you stated:
"In NSW and Queensland, where AV or optional preferential voting is used, the number of preferences has tended to decline over time, and roughly 50% of NSW and Queensland minor party voters now exhaust. It may have been even higher at the recent NSW election"
Would it be right to conclude that the use of preferences in optional preferential voting would be higher in close contests or three way marginals? AFAIK some NSW electorates were closely fought by the Greens. I'm curious about whether preferences were strongly used in those contests.
NB the need for AV, as I would see it, is not for "safe seats" (which AV does not do away with altogether BTW) but for close contests or three or more way contests.
COMMENT: The use of preferences is highest in contests where candidates and parties recommend preferences on their how-to-vote material.
Isn't there a compromise between those two extremes of mandatory ranking of all candidate, and optional ranking? Why not just require voters to rank a minimal number of candidates like 1, 2, 3 and beyond that as optional ranking as in Papua New Guinea which uses Limited Preferential Voting? Would that lead to fewer exhausted ballots than just ranking 1 as in NSW and Queensland optional preferential voting? And that would also lead to fewer spoiled ballots?
Also, is there a good chance that the UK will be electing it's next parliament with AV assuming the referendum AV vote wins? Since the opinion polls indicate a high no vote, is there a good chance that it might pass by a slender margin. How was the opinion polling like in New Zealand in 1993 before it adopted MMP? Wasn't it a high no vote in the opinion polls?
COMMENT: Why 3, or 2, or 4, or half the number of candidates? Why not let the voter decide how many prferences they have?
The polls indicate it will be defeated.
I'm a UK voter and I've heard it claimed though that something like 90% of winners on first preference typically go on to win under AV. Is this figure correct for Australian elections? Is there somewhere on the web I can go to the analyses the results of Australian elections with questions like this in mind?
COMMENT: That's correct. Most seats where references are required are won by the same candidate that would have won under FPTP.
I published some tables on preferences at Australian national elections here http://blogs.abc.net.au/antonygreen/2010/05/preferential-voting-in-australia.html
I published some material on AV elections in NSW and Queensland at http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/2011/04/07/australia-and-av/
Hi Antony,
The No 2 AV campaign are claiming that Australia are in coalition "most of the time" because of AV.
Did a little research and found out that your Liberal/National coalition is not a bit like the coalitions we have here.
I'd value your opinion on accuracy.
COMMENT: Preferential voting was introduced to allow the two conservative parties to compete in individual electorates without delivering victory to Labor by vote splitting. It has allowed the two Coalition parties to govern together while competing in individual constituencies. Without preferential voting, the two parties would probably have been forced to merge. As the two parties have been in Coaltion for 85 of the last 89 years, I think any comparison with the current UK Coalition government is a bit silly.
Antony -
Any comment on this nonsense from the Sun?
Seems dodgy to me.
COMMENT: Utter garbage. Every estimate made of the 2010 election suggests 30-40 cases where a second placed candidate could win. That article is a demented fantasy that must assume 100% of preferences flow to the third placed candidate from every candidate below third.
There has been 1 case in 1500 contests under AV in NSW and Queensland where the 3rd placed candidate won. Under full preferential voting at Federal elections, there have been seven third placed winners out of 3,354 contests since 1949.
To suggest somehow the UK would have had 100 out of 650 seats at last year's UK election is rolled gold gibberish and assumes a flow of preferences that just doesn't happen in the real world.
There would have been hundreds of such cases over the last 50 years in Australia using the Sun's logic, but there haven't been. That's because the Sun's method just doesn't happen in the real world of elections.
Yes, it's a bit like claiming that the Blair/ Brown government was "a coalition of the Labour and Cooperative Parties". True, but misleading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-operative_Party.
I thought you might enjoy this video, which clearly explains the alternatives to British voter's cats:
If only they could make something to appeal to the voters themselves!
Hi Antony
Don't know where to post this as it is not strictly AV but hoping you will comment briefly on the recent Canadian election (which is multi-party and uses FPTP) A lot of the dynamics were uniquely Canadian (vis Quebec) but interesting to see something genuinely unexpected in the surge to the New Democratic Party over the last couple of weeks of the campaign. Vote spliting, however, was to the advantage of the Conservatives, who managed a majority (at this writing 166 seats out of 308) with 39.6% of the vote. I know you are in the UK for the May 5 vote but hoping you might cast your eye over the pond and give us your thoughts on what happened there.
COMMENT: I don't really have time to look at them as I am travelling. My first thought would be that vote splitting under first past the post has helped the Canadian Conservatives, but there would also be some tactical voting going on, so whether tactical voting would mimic the possible AV result and produce the same result is difficult to say.
Is the AV the right electoral system for the UK? Which would be the best PR system of the UK? STV? MMP? Open Party List? That is up to the voters to decide. The UK should have also had another option for PR as well.
I agree that the voter should decide how many preferences they should rank and not force to rank all candidates. Why does Papua New Guinea require a minimum ranking of 3 candidates? Does this make this variation of the system make the front running candidate more or less likely to win?
What about the U.S Oakland Mayoral election where voters could rank up to three candidates, but no more beyond that? What if a voter desired to rank more candidates? The second place candidate won after the final distribution of preferences. You said that this is rare under AV, and it must be even rarer considering that voters can't rank beyond a third ranking, and the large number of exhausted votes.
Is having a large number of exhausted ballots a cause for concern of the candidate-elect's mandate who wins after the final distribution of preferences?
Are there currently How To Vote cards in the UK? I am guessing that if there aren't now, there would be if optional preferential voting came in?
COMMENT: No, and active campaigning outside polling places it severly frowned upon. How-to-votes would be distributed by direct communication with voters at their home address, as is down with most political communication.
How-to-votes would be less important in the UK because voting is voluntary, and because preferences would be optional. Full preferential voting at Australian national elections requires parties to issue how-to-votes, not so much to influence preferences as to ensure voters cast a formal vote.
There are currently some How To Vote equivalents at UK elections, but they're mainly seen when in places there's more than one vote on the same day (e.g. parliament/council/Mayor) and parties want to ensure their voters vote for them all. Some have been given outside polling stations whatever the official position is; others are distributed by leaflets through the letter box. They've not yet come to much national prominence because they're generally a product of combined elections.
Northern Ireland uses the STV system for its Assembly and councils, similar to Tasmania's Hare-Clark (although with different count rules), and some parties have made a fine art form out of getting their voters to neatly distribute themselves behind multiple candidates then transfer to maximise the number elected. Again this is done with multiple HTVs.
What percentage of Australians prefer AV to the original voting system?
COMMENT: To the original voting system? I'm not sure what you mean?

All it takes is a short ride on Madison's 5.6-mile South west Commuter Path to understand the critical role it plays in getting people around town. Not only does it pass within a mile of the State Capitol complex and through the southern part of the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus, but it also connects with a handful of trails that loop the city or head across the countryside.
The paved path follows the route of the Illinois Central Railroad branch built in 1887 between Freeport, Illinois, and Madison. The crushed-stone Badger State Trail uses that route as it heads 40 miles south to the Illinois border, where it meets the Jane Addams Trail. Financial difficulties in 1980 forced the railroad (by now the Illinois Central Gulf) to stop using the line. A succession of railroads—the Chicago, Madison and Northern, the Central Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin and Calumet—all failed to return the line to profitability. The tracks were pulled in 1999, and the trail opened two years later.
Beginning where the Southwest Commuter Path meets a scenic trail through Brittingham Park on Monona Bay, you'll head through a warehouse district alongside a still-active rail yard where some old buildings have been upgraded to loft apartments. In 0.3 mile, you'll cross West Washington Avenue with its view of the Capitol dome, about a mile away.
Across the tracks you'll see a vintage depot for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. Designed by noted Chicago architect Charles Sumner Frost, the imposing 1903 structure is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Closed in the 1960s, it's now home to several shops, including one that rents, sells, and repairs bicycles. A diesel engine and railroad cars flank the depot.
After the depot, the path passes the university's Kohl Center for basketball and hockey and Camp Randall Stadium, home of the Badgers football team and named for a Civil War–era Army training camp at the site. Other university-¿related buildings are scattered about, and students regularly use the trail.
In a couple of blocks, you enter established residential neighborhoods with wooded lots and homes that back up to the trail. Residents have planted wildflowers along several stretches of trail. The Dudgeon-Monroe neighborhood, for instance, plants and maintains a prairie-themed border.
Although there could be frequent street crossings, you'll find that the rail-trail rolls below the major roads as you're heading out of town. The spans are labeled so you can track your location. Ramps and stairways lead up to the neighboring streets.
At 5.5 miles from the start, you'll come to a mixing zone for three trails that collect bike commuters on their way into town. First, the Badger State Trail merges from the left. In another 500 feet you hit the path's end at the Capital City State Trail, where you can connect with the Cannonball Path or the Military Ridge State Trail. Now you can see why this is one of the busiest trails in Madison.
Unlike other trails in the region, the Southwest Commuter Path requires no State Trail Pass.
To reach the eastern trailhead from US 12/US 18, take Exit 263 toward downtown Madison on John Nolen Dr. Go 1.9 miles and turn left onto N. Shore Dr. Go 0.4 mile, and turn left onto W. Brittingham Place. Take an immediate left into Brittingham Park (3-hour parking at all times). The trail is 0.1 mile east.
Parking near the western endpoint is available near the Capital City State Trail at Dawley Conservancy in Fitchburg. To reach the western trailhead from the intersection of US 18/US 151/Verona Road and County Road PD/McKee Road, take McKee Road east. Go 0.9 mile to S. Seminole Hwy., turn left, and then go 0.4 mile and turn left into the parking lot for Dawley Conservancy. To find the trail, take the short path in back of the parking lot north for 0.1 mile, turn left onto the Capital City State Trail, and then go 0.5 mile to the junction with the Southwest Commuter Path. Turn right (north) toward Madison.
I take it to work.
Awesome trail that we use with the Capital City trail will do a complete loop. Beautiful scenery that changes from a country setting, with wooded areas and the hustle and bustle of city life through a college town! A must if you love to bike. This trail also hooks up with Military Ridge if you feel you need more.
"I live around 100 feet from the Southwest Path and use it daily in my power wheelchair. I encounter cyclists, in-line skaters, parents with kids in carriages and strollers, walkers (some with dogs) and roller-skiers.
The City of Madison is doing a good job mantaining the trail and two ""volunteer clean-up"" days this spring were well-attended. The active ""Friends of the Path"" are pulling invasive greenery and creating lovely plantings.
Even the autos at the few road/path intersections are learning to respect path users and yield to pedestrians.
It intersects the Capital City Trail at its southern terminus, and ends abruptly at a construction zone to the north.
Right-of-way and bridge supports are set aside for the ""missing link"" trail that will cap Madison's extensive trail system:

The guy I'm talking to gets back from Afghanistan this weekend. We have been talking since December, we met and hung out in February, and then he left again in March and we've been talking since. We met when I was in college, but I'm home for summer break, which is about 5 1/2 hours from his hometown. When he got home in February I didn't see him until he was home for 2 weeks, and I don't want to wait that long. I also work full time and am not able to get a lot of time off, so I had an idea! There's a lake resort about halfway between us (3 hours for me and 2 1/2 for him) and we'd have to stay 3 nights because that's the minimum required. I know he likes outdoorsy stuff, and there's all sorts of activities like ski boats and kayaking and biking. I thought it would be fun for us to have alone time, reconnect, drink and be intimate. Obviously I wouldn't book anything or have it set in stone, but I thought it would be nice if he came home and I had something planned for us so he didn't have to do any work. Do you think that is something he and/or a guy would enjoy? Or am I thinking too much ahead and should wait to see what happens?
Since we aren't actually dating or in a relationship I am nervous to get my hopes up. We want to see each other, but I don't want to get all excited if he doesn't want to you know :(

How to ensure my text and header fields print or show when someone prints my form or sends it to me?Asked by gpscswhite on March 28, 2016 at 10:32 AM
I have looked into this repeatedly and I haven't been able to figure out how to ensure that people can fill out my form and when they are ready to print it doesn't just print the questions on my form. Also, when I receive a submission, I am only able to see the questions from the form - not the entire form. I need to be able to see the headers, form, questions, images, etc - so does the individual when they print.
To ensure that your Headers and Text show up in your printed submissions you would need to make sure you have enabled the headers and text to fix that problem. This part then has to be printed out via your submission viewer to print it there or using the pdf option to view and print it that way.
As for the formatting of when they are sending it to you you would need to either enable the attached pdf option or add it within the email template since the email notification only shows you what you have set up in there. You could even go far as to reverse that by sending them a pdf copy via an autoresponder containing the submitted information and headers and text shown there too.
Alternatively, you could try this - https://www.jotform.com/help/335-How-to-print-a-form-exactly-as-it-is-when-viewed-but-with-the-user-entered-data which should help.

Quick View >> Engagement Models
Engagement Models
ModelsWe, at Neosoft Technologies , look at ourselves as a partner to our clients and not just another vendor.
In the new economy, we realize that customers are increasingly demanding the flexibility that best serves their unique business requirements. We provide the option of selecting a combination of business models to suit various phases of a project cycle.
We leverage our global delivery capability to offer services "on-site" at the client's very own premises or "off-shore" at our world-class software development facility in Mumbai, India. Offshore Strategic Sourcing with Neosoft is very different from traditional outsourcing models. With Neosoft, you don't give up control and you can dramatically reduce your costs and IT headaches. Neosoft's approach to outsourcing can also substantially improve IT effectiveness and help organizations achieve strategic business goals.
Development ProcessOur fixed time, fixed price model offers customers a low-risk option and can be employed when the scope and specifications of the project are reasonably clear and documented. This model guarantees on-time, on-budget delivery of projects. Deliverables, Costs and Timelines are clearly defined in the Fixed Time/Fixed Price model. In fixed time, fixed-price engagements.
- Project Kick-off.
- Software Requirements Analysis and Management
- Software Project Planning
- Software Project Tracking and management
- Software Quality Assurance
Neosoft follows a phased approach that includes scoping, development, implementation and business support. Combining the fixed time, fixed price model with our solutions center, we can offer customers a tremendous advantage on the cost front.
This model works best for - Customers with well-defined requirements and project schedules. Under this option, the customer pays a pre-negotiated fixed price for the complete project, which in turn is linked to well-defined deliverables. For any change in scope a predefined fixed hourly rate agreed at the initial stage of start of project is paid. For any changes there is a standard change request procedure that is followed for which we have structured processes in place.
When scope, specification and implementation plans of a software development project are not easy to define at the outset, Time & Material Model becomes an attractive option. Under this model, you pay as per use of the hourly development efforts. Under this mode we define the business model and work hand in hand with our client for execution of end-to-end project. At times once the scope is frozen the time and material project also gets converted to the fixed price model. We have very strict project management and reporting practices whereby task sheets are generated on a daily / weekly basis for each of the developer on the project.
Resource Hiring ProcessIn this business model, Neosoft forms project teams with the required team members, project managers, equipment and infrastructure based on project requirements. Customers pay a monthly charge based on the size and composition of the team. This model offers the flexibility to balance team size and project workloads. Most of our onsite services (unless it is part of a fixed time, fixed price project) are delivered using this business model. Neosoft could bid for partial phases of a project on a fixed time, fixed price basis and the remaining parts on a time and material basis. In such engagements, the Client has complete flexibility in using our associates in tasks that match their area of expertise.
- We send 3 Competitive Resumes after getting your requirement.
- We run through the interview process and technical test if required, over Phone/Internet.
- On Selection, we immediately offer the services of the dedicated IT Staff for your organization.
Neosoft provides knowledgeable, skilled, motivated, energetic and competent consultants who work seamlessly as part of client teams to provide quality solutions. Our consultants are handpicked after assessing their technical, communication and interpersonal skills. We keep our consultants on the cutting edge of information technology by providing them with ongoing advanced training and skill-building workshops.
Very often it becomes necessary to undertake a major portion of a project on a Fixed Price basis and at the same time deploy resources on a Time and Materials Pricing basis. We call this the fusion model. Adopting such a model enables the client to maximize their budgets without compromising any aspect of the project itself.
Needless to mention here that this model too can be Onsite, Offsite, Offshore or any combination of the same.
This model is used when client wishes to work on fixed price model and when the project scope is not detailed enough to enable us to estimate the effort with accuracy. Based on the initial concept note we define a short initial.
Offshore Development CenterWe partner with our clients to invest in replicating their IT environments, training our teams, setting up communication & security systems and integrating our development processes with theirs to ensure that the offshore team is an efficient and seamless extension of the client's development facilities.
- Dedicated facility
- Dedicated team of people for the ODC
- Dedicated hardware and software infrastructure
- Dedicated high-speed communication equipment
- Physical and network security
- IP protection mechanisms
- Well-defined offshore development software facilities
- Ready to use infrastructure
- Access to a large and diverse pool of expertise
- High quality software processes
- Leverages on Neosoft's project management capabilities
- Cost effective
- Exploits time zone advantage
- Facilitates dedicated software teams with long term focus

Benefits of the Offshore Development Center in India, we can establish and manage dedicated offshore development centers to develop IT solutions, maintain legacy systems, and provide 24-hour, on-call support.
All the expenses for VISA, traveling and lodging/boarding need to be borne by the customer, however we charge the offshore development fee, which provides the cost advantage to the customer.

The Outsiders/Hero's Journey Essay
My Essay Reflection
I think at the start of the year my writing was basic and did not have much energy but now I am able to give it depth and energy. My way of writing made it so you lost lots of interest early in the writing and I included a lot of useless words to fill space. I am now able to write more interesting information.I think my style is a very in your face and attention grabbing way of writing. I am now able to give it energy and I find it fun to write so that when you read it, it feels like I am right there explaining it to you.I want to learn to follow directions because I lose lots of easy points that I could get if I just followed directions. In all my classes I do the work well but I end up losing almost half the points just because I didn't followed instructions.I liked the way that when we looked at the Hero's Journey we saw how each adventure book had the Hero's Journey in it. Even in easy and fun books like Jack and the beanstalk he goes on a heroes journey and goes through all the steps.
The Outsiders/Hero's Journey Essay
When People hear kids saying they want to be a superhero they are almost always talking about the people on TV shows and movies. They are never talking about someone that figured out a philosophy about life or helped someone in a small way. Both of these are heroes, and one may be even more important, depending on how you look at it. When people live their lives they may meet many heroes but they don't view them as heroes. An example of this is Ponyboy Curtis who goes on through a heros journey. When he returns he does not have any "superpowers", but he has something that is almost as important. In the realistic fiction novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton the main character Ponyboy curtis goes on a Hero's Journey because he travels through the three required phases of a monomyth.
When Ponboy leaves Dally, with the gun and money, goes into the unknown and starts his Journey. He meets Dally at Buck's house after Johnny kills the Soc. Daly says "'Git goin!' He messed up Johnny's hair. 'Take care , kid, he said softly. 'Sure, Dally, thanks.' And we ran into the darkness."(62). In the Separation from the Known the hero leaves their known and comfortable world and goes into the new and unknown. The hero feels his or her life is missing something and they go to seek it. They also have a sudden and unexpected change.Pony and Johnny experience the first part of the separation from the know when they leave their own town and friends and go out into the world.They do not know what will be out there since the outside world is dark and unknown. Another part of it is since he is a greaser he feels he has no choice but to run away because he would not be treated fairly. He is trying to find fairness and justice from being unfairly treated. The next part is how it was unexpected and sudden because they did not plan it and they think they need to flee. He goes through all of these which proves he went through the separation.
He has to go through the challenge of cutting his hair and changing his identity. When Johnny and Pony are running away they need to change their identity so Pony and Johnny need to cut their hair. By doing this he takes away the only thing he has as a greaser. "I shuddered. 'Not too short,' I begged. 'Johnny please...'"(72) The Initiation is when the hero has to face a psychological or physical unknown challenge.When Johnny cuts Pony's hair it takes away his identity of a being a greaser, which is the only thing he has. This challenge is the main thing of the Initiation and it is both The physical challenge of not being "tuff" and the challenge of not being a greaser. As a greaser his hair is what he held on to, the only thing he had that the Socs did not and cutting it off took away his whole identity. Without his hair he i just a kid living in the bad part of the neighborhood.
Johnny is in the hospital hospital dying. After Johnny, Dally, and Ponyboy go out into the fire Pony finds out that Johnny is really hurt in the hospital. Pony and Dally are super depressed. " You'll be okay', Pony says firmly. Don't start crying, I commanded myself, don't start crying, you'll scare Johnny"(121). In the Hero's Journey, the second part of the Initiation is when the hero is in the Abyss. The Abyss is when the hero is at his or her lowest point and has to battle their greatest fear whether it is internal or external. There are three other steps and those are the Transformation, Revelation, and Atonement. In the Outsiders, Pony is in the Abyss when he realizes Johnny is going to die. When he is in the hospital he knows that eve after all they had been through, Johnny would die in the hospital. Johnny had always been their pet and still need him as much as anyone else. Pony and Johnny had been really close friends but having Johnny die realize that his greatest fear had been realized, that another person he cared about died. Just like when his parents died, another loss of his "family" is what scares him most, making it his Abyss.
Ponyboy experiences The Return to Everyday Life when he writes his essay for the teacher about journey. After Johnny and Dally are dead Pony goes back to school, he needs to write an essay. Pony narrates, "Someone should tell their side of the story, and maybe people would understand them and wouldn't be so quick to judge a boy by the amount of hair oil he wore".(179) In the Hero's Journey, The Return to Everyday Life is when the hero returns back to their normal day life but they return with a gift. The gift is usually something that they learned over the journey and with it over they can tell the world about what they now know. When Pony returns with all the knowledge he learned over his journey he decides to try in school and make his essay. The reason it is important is because it was not just to pass the class but to tell the world about what he learned. He is telling his world his "wisdom" and it is his ideas about the world that give him his new knowledge. His essay explains to everyone that reads it how life is not good and bad and how everyone experiences problems even if they are not the same.
The main character Ponyboy Curtis goes on a Hero's Journey because he travels through the three required phases of monomyth. Ponyboy experiences the Separation of the Known and the Initiation when he leaves Dally and runs away and when he goes through the challenge of cutting and bleaching his hair. He experiences the second part of the Initiation and the Return to everyday life when Johnny is dying and when Pony writes his essay. There are no "superheroes" that exist today, that are saving the world from evil but there are many people that have gone on a Hero's Journey and came back with a gift. All they have to do is be ready for it and prepare. If people do meet someone that has been on a Hero's Journey, they will soon find they have an important gift to share.

Bummer Scope Problem
I bought a "Compact" Drop compensation scope for the mini, wanted to see how it worked, but the rings are too far apart for the scope :-(
What are my options? Keep in mind that I really liked the compact design of the scope.
Here's a pic: what can I do?
Thanks guys!
I'm not sure what you mean by the rings are too far apart? Do you mean the rings are to far apart to mount to the stock rails on the ranch rifle? How about a picture.
I would think any of the top picatinny rails would solve your problem.
kinda dunamisnc, if I put my stock Ruger Mini 14 rings that came with the rifle the scope doesn't fit. Look in the picture, you'll see the rings only have about 2" between them. I should have thought about it but the description didn't say HOW FAR apart the rings would have to be.
I have looked into getting a ProMag Rail for my mini, but it's like $69.00!!!
I think I may have to send this scope back.
Thanks guys!
You're really thinking about sending the scope back over a 70 dollar part? Especially on a mini... Just get the rail. If you don't use it for this scope, you will when you change to a different one.
Darrel, you obviously have more money than I do :-D I have 6 kiddos and they ALL like to eat. Imagine.... But I did do exactly what you suggested. Pretty cool rail too! I didn't get the ProMag I got UTC. Here's a pic:
I have a B Square side mount I'd be willing to part with. It's stainless finish duracoated combat green. A lil accetone and the duracoat comes off looking like original. It's not used anymore since I put a red dot on the Amega mount.
Thanks Drew, but I already ordered the UTG mount I posted the pic of. It ships from my own state so I may have it early this week! It looks like I can put a light on it too!
Thanks again guys!
Sorry about the way that came across Glen. I didn't mean for it to sound so confrontational. I understand about the not having money to do things we want. Best of luck to you with that mount and post pics when it gets installed. I love me some gun porn.

Tranquil PC Outs Haswell NUC-Compatible Cases
Tranquil PC is refreshing its compact fan-less case lineup with one that supports the second-generation NUC (next unit of computing) platform, based on Intel's Core "Haswell" processors. Pictured below, the all-aluminium cases are fanless, and rely on the body of the case to dissipate heat from the CPU and PCH, all while measuring 110 x 164 x 47 mm. The case supports Intel's D54250WYB NUC system board, featuring Core i5-4250U dual-core processor, and cutouts for its various connectors, including WLAN jack, DC power-input, mini-DisplayPort, dual PCIe mini-card connectors, mini-HDMI 1.4a, gigabit Ethernet, CIR, four USB ports, and audio jacks. Tranquil PC promises 12 to 25 percent lower temperatures than Intel's air-cooled case. Available now, the case is priced at £99.FanlessTech

Aye, exact same issue here. I get one copy of the error for every thumbnail I've asked the site to generate. Except I know where ffmpeg is:
$ whereis ffmpeg
ffmpeg: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
And ffmpeg_wrapper is pointed exactly there. I know it's actually finding ffmpeg, because the test conversion works just fine. Is there any more information I can give that would help?
The module is perfect for what I'm trying to do, but I would really like to have thumbnails for my videos. Thanks in advance.

You need to set up FFMPEG properly and try manual command and see whether its working, it might help. Video module doesnt have such an error, issue is with your configurations :).

News, views and commentary on Long Island, state and national politics.
ALBANY -- Business tax cuts in New York's 2014-15 budget when in full effect are deep enough to improve the state's business climate, according to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation think tank.
The business tax cuts to be phased in would move New York to the fourth best business tax climate from its current ranking as 25th.
The state's overall ranking in term of taxation would also improve slightly, to 48th, from last, according to the independent national organization.
"New York is not a low-tax state, and its economic success is because of strengths that overcome a challenging tax environment," said Joseph Henchman, the Tax Foundation's vice president of state projects.
"High taxes need not also be complex or poorly structured taxes, however, and removing these obstacles will encourage job creation and economic activity," he said. "New York's 2014 corporate tax reform is an impressive step toward tackling this problem."
The group said Cuomo had sought advice from the Tax Foundation in crafting the budget adopted by the Legislature on March 31.
