A Wichita woman was sentenced Monday to three years of federal probation for filing false income tax returns for her customers.
Lata L. Tomlinson, 34, had been convicted in a jury trial in April on 19 counts of preparing false returns for 17 people for tax years 2007 to 2009, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom's office said.
Tomlinson started her own business, Talking Taxes and More, in 2006 after working for tax preparation companies, according to Grissom's office. In the returns, she falsely stated deductions in a number of areas, including home improvements, legal fees, hay and grain expenses, cellphones and care of dependents, his office said.

Notre Dame physicists inspire following generation of scientists with support of CERN data
- By admin
- 3 December, 2014
- No Comments
Researchers and educators all around the world now have accessibility to data that CERN has just lately manufactured public from the Massive Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment — deemed to be 1 of the greatest international scientific collaborations in historical past. Two packages managed at the University of Notre Dame, QuarkNet and I2U2, have played crucial roles in developing equipment and plans for the early use of this data that could tackle some of the most basic questions about the origin and composition of the universe.
On Nov. 20, CERN launched an Open Data Portal in which information from collision events developed by the LHC experiments have been created available online for the international study local community, like students and citizen scientists. In the course of LHC experiments, groups of protons are smashed collectively at shut to the pace of light, resulting in head-on collisions that create brief-lived particles that fly out and into the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector.
Data from the review of these particles could give clues about how nature behaves at a basic degree. The 1st high-level, analyzable collision data from the CMS, originally collected during the first run of the LHC in 2010, is now offered by means of the Open Data Portal. But the datasets are really huge and complicated, so the Notre Dame applications and other folks have created tools to use the data. In accordance to the CMS experiment, "While the information are in a processed format that is good for analysis, they are still fairly complex, and performing an evaluation utilizing these information is difficult: It takes CMS scientists working in groups and relying on each other's experience many months or even many years to carry out a single examination that need to then be scrutinized by the whole collaboration just before a scientific paper can be published."
QuarkNet and I2U2 helped build programs this kind of as the CMS Masterclass and the CMS e-lab in buy to use the information. By means of the CMS Masterclass, higher school students and teachers unite to turn into particle physicists for a day, finding out some of the fundamentals of particle physics, and then utilizing resources developed by QuarkNet to analyze a sample of CMS data. At the finish of the class, they meet with CMS physicists and other groups of college students, occasionally by way of worldwide video teleconferencing, to talk about their results. The CMS e-lab guides students by way of a self-directed research that goes into far more depth and engages the college students and educators in a more sophisticated remedy of these data.
The CMS experiment recognized in certain the contributions of QuarkNet employees member and Notre Dame physicist Tom McCauley, who is based at CERN, and serves as the liaison to the nationwide QuarkNet Plan. Mitchell Wayne, professor of physics, principal investigator (PI) for the national QuarkNet program and co-PI of the I2U2 System, explained, "These outreach applications support educate and inspire the subsequent generation of scientists. They show the fascinating and creative methods these information can be utilised by higher college teachers and students."
Notre Dame's QuarkNet Center, portion of the national QuarkNet system comprising a lot more than 50 centers across the nation, gives summer season research experiences for neighborhood higher college teachers and college students. The center gives teachers with eight-week analysis appointments and develops their experience as lead teachers. The center also educates about 15 large college students each summer season. The college students investigate a selection of study tasks from the Compact Muon Solenoid e-Lab to cosmic ray research.
Mike Hildreth, a professor of physics at the University of Notre Dame and PI of the DASPOS (Data and Application Preservation for Open Science) task, has worked extensively with the information preservation authorities on the CMS experiment to aid define the design and style of the CERN Open Data Portal that hosts the data and application. The DASPOS undertaking is concerned in understanding preservation in Substantial Power Physics and other sciences. Charles Vardeman, computational scientist in the Center for Investigation Computing and also element of the DASPOS task, has been collaborating closely with the portal designers as they function to produce a new metadata description of the stored data and examination techniques that will allow prospective end users to search for intriguing data and strategies in the data archives.
With headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Analysis and is the world's foremost laboratory for particle physics.

Function Overloading
Defining more than one function having the same name is function overloading. In order to be able to differentiate these functions, their parameters must be different.
The following code has multiple overloads of the
info() function, each taking a different type of parameter:
import std.stdio; void info(in double number) { writeln("Floating point: ", number); } void info(in int number) { writeln("Integer : ", number); } void info(in char[] str) { writeln("String : ", str); } void main() { info(1.2); info(3); info("hello"); }
Although all of the functions are named
info(), the compiler picks the one that matches the argument that is used when making the call. For example, because the literal
1.2 is of type
double, the
info() function that takes a
double gets called for it.
The choice of which function to call is made at compile time, which may not always be easy or clear. For example, because
int can implicitly be converted to both
double and
real, the compiler cannot decide which of the functions to call in the following program:
real sevenTimes(in real value) { return 7 * value; } double sevenTimes(in double value) { return 7 * value; } void main() { int value = 5; auto result = sevenTimes(value); // ← compilation ERROR }
Note: It is usually unnecessary to write separate functions when the function bodies are exactly the same. We will see later in the Templates chapter how a single definition can be used for multiple types.
However, if there is another function overload that takes a
long parameter, then the ambiguity would be resolved because
long is a better match for
int than
double or
long sevenTimes(in long value) { return 7 * value; } // ... auto result = sevenTimes(value); // now compiles
Overload resolution
The compiler picks the overload that is the best match for the arguments. This is called overload resolution.
Although overload resolution is simple and intuitive in most cases, it is sometimes complicated. The following are the rules of overload resolution. They are being presented in a simplified way in this book.
There are four states of match, listed from the worst to the best:
- mismatch
- match through automatic type conversion
- match through
- exact match
The compiler considers all of the overloads of a function during overload resolution. It first determines the match state of every parameter for every overload. For each overload, the least match state among the parameters is taken to be the match state of that overload.
After all of the match states of the overloads are determined, then the overload with the best match is selected. If there are more than one overload that has the best match, then more complicated resolution rules are applied. I will not get into more details of these rules in this book. If your program is in a situation where it depends on complicated overload resolution rules, it may be an indication that it is time to change the design of the program. Another option is to take advantage of other features of D, like templates. An even simpler but not always desirable approach would be to abandon function overloading altogether by naming functions differently for each type e.g. like
sevenTimes_real() and
Function overloading for user-defined types
Function overloading is useful with structs and classes as well. Additionally, overload resolution ambiguities are much less frequent with user-defined types. Let's overload the
info() function above for some of the types that we have defined in the Structs chapter:
struct TimeOfDay { int hour; int minute; } void info(in TimeOfDay time) { writef("%02s:%02s", time.hour, time.minute); }
That overload enables
TimeOfDay objects to be used with
info(). As a result, variables of user-defined types can be printed in exactly the same way as fundamental types:
auto breakfastTime = TimeOfDay(7, 0);
TimeOfDay objects would be matched with that overload of
The following is an overload of
info() for the
Meeting type:
struct Meeting { string topic; size_t attendanceCount; TimeOfDay start; TimeOfDay end; } void info(in Meeting meeting) { info(meeting.start); write('-'); info(meeting.end); writef(" \"%s\" meeting with %s attendees", meeting.topic, meeting.attendanceCount); }
Note that this overload makes use of the already-defined overload for
Meeting objects can now be printed in exactly the same way as fundamental types as well:
auto bikeRideMeeting = Meeting("Bike Ride", 3, TimeOfDay(9, 0), TimeOfDay(9, 10)); info(bikeRideMeeting);
The output:
09:00-09:10 "Bike Ride" meeting with 3 attendees
Although the
info() function overloads above are a great convenience, this method has some limitations:
info()always prints to
stdout. It would be more useful if it could print to any
File. One way of achieving this is to pass the output stream as a parameter as well e.g. for the
void info(File file, in TimeOfDay time) { file.writef("%02s:%02s", time.hour, time.minute); }
That would enable printing
TimeOfDayobjects to any file, including
info(stdout, breakfastTime); auto file = File("a_file", "w"); info(file, breakfastTime);
Note: The special objects
stdout, and
stderrare of type
- More importantly,
info()does not solve the more general problem of producing the string representation of variables. For example, it does not help with passing objects of user-defined types to
writeln(breakfastTime); // Not useful: prints in generic format
The code above prints the object in a generic format that includes the name of the type and the values of its members, not in a way that would be useful in the program:
TimeOfDay(7, 0)
It would be much more useful if there were a function that converted
TimeOfDayobjects to
stringin their special format as in
"12:34". We will see how to define
stringrepresentations of struct objects in the next chapter.
Overload the
info() function for the following structs as well:
struct Meal { TimeOfDay time; string address; } struct DailyPlan { Meeting amMeeting; Meal lunch; Meeting pmMeeting; }
Meal has only the start time, add an hour and a half to determine its end time. You can use the
addDuration() function that we have defined earlier in the structs chapter:
TimeOfDay addDuration(in TimeOfDay start, in TimeOfDay duration) { TimeOfDay result; result.minute = start.minute + duration.minute; result.hour = start.hour + duration.hour; result.hour += result.minute / 60; result.minute %= 60; result.hour %= 24; return result; }
Once the end times of
Meal objects are calculated by
DailyPlan objects should be printed as in the following output:
10:30-11:45 "Bike Ride" meeting with 4 attendees 12:30-14:00 Meal, Address: İstanbul 15:30-17:30 "Budget" meeting with 8 attendees

The Demon Named Protein Overload
Most people know that eggs are an superb supply of protein so we all attempt to contain it in our diets. The finish outcome is a medium-thick gel that you can smooth more than your hair for outstanding coverage. If hair is already over-softened due to the fact of conditioner develop-up (over-conditioning), adding protein might make it even far more more than-softened rather than restore bounce. Occasionally utilizing hydrolyzed proteins will cause hair to act much less curly (depending on how coarse the hair is) but hydrolyzed proteins alone do not operate like semi-permanent straightening treatments that use protein. It also appears to be quite porous, as I can apply a lot of coconut oil or other oil styling items to my hair with out it feeling greasy or weighed down.
Educating yourself about the items you are utilizing is extremely critical if your purpose is to develop and sustain a healthful, balanced head of hair. The detergents right here will remove silicone residue – otherwise the silicone in the shampoo is water-soluble, so it will not be depositing residue on your hair. If you often use protein in shampoo or conditioner or styling goods, you may possibly not need to use this protein therapy as usually – that could lead to too considerably protein. At that time, the protein molecules can bond with the hair shaft to strengthen it.
Whilst it shouldn't make your hair tough, I would apply the reconstructor followed by a deep conditioning moisture remedy. The seller of that solution suggests using 1% to 3%. Don't use far more than 1-3% total protein that till you know how your hair reacts. I gave it a go- it did harden and make my hair really feel 'crunchy' but following following up with a moisturizing therapy to which I added coconut oil it came out soft once again. Two shop bought items that I've found to be very powerful at strengthening the hair and placing a stop breakage are Aphogee Two Step Protein Treatment and Jamaican Black Castor Oil Protein Conditioner The Aphogee is a extremely strong protein remedy and should be utilized for emergencies when breakage has gotten out of manage. If your hair is on the coarse side (wide hairs) you may possibly want to use a lot more collagen than gelatin. Men and women who leave the gelatin protein therapy on their hair for a lengthy time face difficulties with drips.
If you did not use shampoo, you would want to avoid silicones to keep away from limp hair and a greasy look. The curls are defined, my hair actually bounces(previously it was fairly stiff) and I can effortlessly run my fingers through my hair! I am in a hunt for a leave in and it is hard to uncover anything that does not include protein. Hair is composed of about 91% protein made up of extended chains of amino acids. I also use a conditioning hair mask produced with silk protein that operates beautifully at strengthening the hair.
The treatment was virtually to excellent to be correct so I waited a even though prior to posting this comment to see what would happen following my 1st wash & how lengthy it would take to put on out. I am hoping to eliminate blow drying every day to avert further harm to my hair. If your hair feels rough or stiff or tangly and you rinsed extremely completely, then you probably need to follow up a protein therapy with a deep conditioner.

The German tire giant looks back on 50 years of testing and development at its flagship facility
Conti celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Contidrom this year. The test track just outside Hannover, Germany, which employees more than 100 employees, has become more and more important over the years, driving progress in tire development in conjunction with the company's other R&D activities.
In all, Continental has tested some 1.3 million tires there since the facility first opened. The OEM's future expansion plans include the implementation of an additional wet handling course, which is to be an identical replica of the existing one, in order to free up testing space on the current track.
From the outset, test engineers at the Contidrom have defined standards that are applied in Continental's tire testing activities around the world, enabling findings to be uniformly interpreted and communicated within the company. Over the years they have repeatedly come up with new and pioneering test procedures.
Back in the mid-1970s for example, a driverless Type 8 Mercedes put in endless laps of the oval while completing a range of tests. Like today, however, these automated tests were no replacement for subjective evaluation and many tests still call for the presence of a test driver at the wheel.
Initially the facility comprised a high-speed 2.8km oval, which remains a central feature to this day. The other tracks, such as the 1.8km wet handling course and the 3.8km dry handling track were added during later expansion. In 2012 the tire maker opened the AIBA where up to 100,000 braking tests are conducted a year.
The original oval and the two handling tracks have since been joined by a number of other testing and measurement tracks. The year 1985 saw the advent of braking and aquaplaning tests on rail-guided tracks, while two circular tracks of different sizes are used primarily for evaluation in the wet. One circle is mainly used to simulate aquaplaning when cornering, while the other features different road surfaces that can be irrigated by sprinkler systems.
Another test conducted on a circular track assesses the safety reserves of a tire with a slow puncture. In this test a car or truck circles the track at 55km/h. In the course of each lap, the pressure in the tires is reduced by 1/10 bar, until the tire literally rolls off the rim.
In 2003 an off-road section was opened at the Contidrom. With its various gradients, an axial twist track, a steep incline and a water basin, the facility is ideal for testing off-road tires on 4WD vehicles.
Tire/road noise is measured and evaluated on the two acoustics tracks located well away from the other courses. Both exterior and interior noise levels are recorded on a number of standardized surfaces.

Democrats' inability to get anyone to run for mayor has the leader of the region's largest labor union agitating for a major change to elections in San Diego.
Mickey Kasparian, president of the San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council and the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 135, says it is time to change the rule that allows a candidate to win outright in primary elections if he or she gets more than 50 percent of the vote.
"We must change the City Charter," Kasparian tweeted Monday. He elaborated at length during a recent interview with me. Francine Busby, chair of the local Democratic Party, also weighed in similarly, noting that Chula Vista recently made a change to eliminate outright wins in primary elections.
City Councilman Todd Gloria made the point in a recent interview as well.
"The outcomes of some of these elections are not necessarily reflective of the community's feelings," Gloria said. "Obviously far more people are present for the general election than the primary."
Gloria chose not to run for mayor in 2016 and will instead be pursuing a seat in the state Assembly. Kasparian has said that many of the high-profile Democrats who would like to be mayor are choosing not to run because they can't see a route through the June primary even though they could compete well in November.
We Stand Up for You. Will You Stand Up for Us?
"The outcomes of some of these elections are not necessarily reflective of the community's feelings," Gloria said. "Obviously far more people are present for the general election than the primary."
I'm with Todd. We must hold elections when it's most convenient for Democrats to vote. Perhaps we can simply walk the ballots to their address of record, or, better yet, automatically enter a vote for the Democratic candidate--sort of like auto-renewal on a magazine subscription.
The added benefit of my plan is that it will limit the damage caused by Mickey Kasparian, the GOP stealth operative who's managed to lose just about every election of note for the Democratic Party over the past few years. (Excepting, of course, his notable success with Bob Filner.)
What San Diego is doing with primary elections goes against the very definition of a PRIMARY election. I'd like to see a court rule on this. The definition and purpose of a primary election is to narrow the field for an upcoming general election, and having a primary election where someone wins outright does not fulfill this definition. It shouldn't be called a primary if someone can potentially win outright. That misleads and disenfranchises voters.
Regarding disenfranchise…some readers are missing a difference between individual and institutional power and the way it plays-out.
Obviously, citizens are personally responsible for voting. You either vote or not; have your say or not. But you can't vote if you don't first have the opportunity to vote.
What Ms. Soldaña is saying is that Republicans have put in place a process that deliberately reduces the opportunities for San Diegans to vote, because voting patterns indicate that reducing the opportunities increases the likelihood Republican candidates will win.
Whenever one party has the power to remove opportunities to vote that party is limiting the freedom to choose in a system that exists to promote the freedom to choose. If you don't agree, let me know how you feel if football stadium boosters keep public funding from coming to a vote.
So some voters vote every time, and others can only be bothered to vote once in a while.
The once in a while voters somehow have more rights or are smarter than the every time voters? Is that what we are to believe? The lazyness of some voters seems like a terrible reason to change the election rules to try and sync up elections days with the casual voter.
The casual voter is the one most likely to be unengaged, uninformed, and most easily swayed by false statements (even when they are proven to be wrong), or advertising blitzes. I'm not sure we are well served when we have uninformed or unengaged voters making decisions for us.
@Glenn Younger Do you have any proof that casual voters, when they vote, are less informed about the particular ballot items they choose to vote on than those who vote all the time?
@Derek Hofmann No specific proof. If they are only voting once in while, they are for sure less engaged, and I'm extrapalating that to also include less informed. I could be wrong.
Some evidence of casual voters being less informed voters would be the results of a couple of big turn out elections.
Bob Filner winning his mayoral election, winning big in traditionally low turnout neighborhoods. Dave Roberts winning with lots of first time voters. These are not steller examples of choices made by educated voters.
Your reasoning is pretty poor. You begin by admitting you have no proof and end by suggesting voters should be telepathic in knowing which candidates will be embroiled in scandal? Nonsense. What about all the right wing "informed" voters who elected Randy "Duke" Cunningham or Roger Hedgecock?
This doesn't have to do with informed versus non informed voters, it has to do with demographics. Many people skip primary elections because they are busy - you know things like work and school - and they assume a primary election is narrowing the field for a general,which is what a primary election SHOULD be doing. Republicans rely heavily on older, retired voters who have more time on their hands to vote in every election.
@ZachW My reasoning applies to both parties. So you are correct about the Replblicans. Duke was a doozy.
Here is my reasoning regarding the 2 most recent and unfortunatly elected.
Informed voters knew that Bob Filner was an idiot and a masher. He had a long history.
Informed voters knew that Dave Roberts had NO experiance in managing people and no experiance in running an office, so his failure should have come as no surprise.
Taxpayers lose when either party runs candidates who are idiots. Informed voters are our only salvation.
@ZachW By the way, as a voter who is becoming older, I have managed to both go to work and vote. To use work and school as an excuse for not voting is a cop out. Either people care enough to vote, or they do not. The electoral system requires participation and with mail in ballots, that excuse holds no water.
@Glenn Younger You and others are arguing apples & oranges. Changing to a top-two primary system won't bring "casual voters" out. The same voters will turn out whether or not the primary advances the top two or 50%+1 wins.
Arguing about casual voters and primaries isn't the point. The point is to ensure that the top two candidates will advance to the general election when more voters generally turn out. The result would be far more representative of the citizenry at large.
@Judith Swink @Glenn Younger Hi Judith, not sure were we get the idea that there need to be a "top 2" in the election. I think that having a top two runoff is something that the 2 major parties like to have. Democrocy can work with 1 or 5 candidates. It is just harder for the big 2 political parties to control with there are more than two, and thus the reason they want to get down to two. Just my opinion.
Perhaps a candidate that "can't see a route through the June primary" should just stay home.
Taxpayers know that is Mickey the Bat Kasparian is supporting something, taxpayers will be taken. Everything he touches turns to dust for taxpayers. The Bat blames the primary in June on his loss for D7 in 2012. How about looking at the quality of the candidate they put up against Scott Sherman. Scott Sherman is a class act and he won because he was the best candidate, even if the Bat did not like it.
Voters need to give a damn about voting and about the sanctity of the election process. If they choose to be ignorant about issues and their rights, that's their prerogative. I won't lose any sleep if they are disenfranchised or not.
Institute Voter ID. Despite what Democrats claim, voter fraud occurs with too much frequency and ease.
With the recent actions by the Obama Administration, and CA state officials, we see a concerted effort to get illegal aliens to vote.
We know this, because quite a few people (Democrat officials) have been convicted of committing it.
The attempt to change the Primary voting rules once again reflects how Democrats will change anything that works to something that benefits them.
@Roger Cotton Which Democrat officials have been convicted of efforts to get illegal aliens to vote?
This "win in the primary" is a subtle and effective way to disenfranchise many voters.
When I served on the Elections/Redistricting Committee in the Assembly, we saw many flagrant attempts to limit voter participation (e.g., Voter ID laws). These were often defeated in committee. But this local issue was never brought forward as something that could be managed at the state level, (since San Diego is Charter vs. contract city.)
Of course, we also saw Schwarzenegger veto bills to allow broader voting, or for it to be simpler, e.g., allow teens who would be 18 by Election Day to pre-register. It's the Republican way: they would even state in committee they wanted the "right" voters, not "more" voters, to participate.
Who is the "right" voter? It appears to be older, less diverse, less educated, and from rural vs urban districts. That's why in many states w/Voter ID laws, you can show a gun permit and vote, but not a state-issued student ID card from your campus...
@lorisaldana This moves the opposite direction of most large, progressive cities, who tend to think that they want their elections to have the attention and dialogue that only comes when you separate them from the chaos of national elections.
Also, it's disingenuous to refer to people's free choice not to participate in an election as "disenfranchisement." I'm sure people who have been actually disenfranchised would take offense to the notion that someone who had full access and simply didn't bother to vote in a June election was considered disenfranchised.
We all agree every voter should have easy access to every election. I want every voter to participate in every election, as informed and engaged participants.
Perhaps what has you feeling so uneasy about these proposals is the fact that Faulconer is Mayor by virtue of winning two special elections with small turnouts- the first for his Council seat in 2006, the next for Mayor in 2014.
We can't discuss factors that generate or depress voter turnout without discussing special elections, privately funded efforts behind recent ballot measures, and the process for setting those election dates.
Setting a date for Special elections around certain holidays has long been a popular tactic- in fact, it's how our current Mayor was first elected, in an early January election, after losing in the General Election the previous cycle. Likewise, it was a low turnout special election, this time in February, that earned him his current position.
And if you are thinking of "large, progressive" cities like Los Angeles, which had less than 10% voter turnout in March this year- who's being disingenuous?
On March 4 2015, the LATimes reported :
"As of Wednesday morning, turnout was 8.6%, according to numbers from the City Clerk's office. That number will rise, possibly by several percentage points, as more absentee and provisional ballots are counted. So far, 157,577 ballots have been counted, and 43,814 remain uncounted." (see: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-lowdrama-election-fueled-dismal-voter-turnout-in-la-20150304-story.html)
The concept of generating "informed and engaged" voters has become a bloodsport for the special interests, not an educational exercise. The more scared, outraged and/or angry people are, the more likely they are to vote in reactionary, thoughtless ways- and political ads use that emotional appeal to full effect.
Standards about "truth in advertising" are nonexistent, since the content and accuracy of political ads are unregulated aspects of campaigning.
Moreover, there's no downside to flagrant lies. Even those claims later shown to be grossly wrong and intentionally false (see: Barrio Logan Community Plan ballot measure) are typically not exposed until long after the election results are counted- but they don't change the outcomes or automatically generate recalls or rescissions.
These are just a few examples of why relatively few people have such exaggerated influence on the election outcomes in San Diego and beyond.
@lorisaldana So what you're saying is that you will not consider elections to be fair until people you agree with always win.
I'm saying that elections are fair when everyone has easy access to participation. Improving participation in said elections should be focused on increasing engagement rather than masking the underlying problem with a calendar change.
@ryanclumpner I didn't say that at all. Did you read my comments, or just assume that was my point?
But, rather than simply respond, why not share the steps organizations you've aligned yourself with (Lincoln Club, Chamber, various PACs) are taking, or have taken, to expand and encourage voter participation in San Diego and beyond for all voters, in all areas of San Diego?
Do you conduct voter registration drives in low-turnout communities? Support bills to allow young people- especialy those who work and pay taxes- to pre-register to vote when they will turn 18 by election days? Advocate for measures that make voting easier for all people?
My observation of the actions many of these "business friendly" groups have taken in past years is they do the opposite- discourage voters via special ballot measure elections, for example.
But perhaps you can share about their efforts to make elections fair, with easy access, and increased engagement throughout San Diego.
@lorisaldana I'll address your demands of me in a longer piece for VOSD in the next week or so.
From the level of bitterness emanating from your comments, one could almost forget that the dem-labor coalition has controlled both houses of the legislature and the Gov's office for almost five years. Amazing you haven't crushed these evil businesses and solved all the state's problems by now.
@lorisaldana I saw absolutely no bitterness in your remarks. I did, however, see Mr. Clumpner's lack of understanding. I think republicans just don't get nuance.
Look forward to your anwers to my questions. I don't consider them demands. Funny how tough questions are often dismissed with ad hominem remarks, and/or responses are delayed.
This is your occupation, no? You should have this Information at your fingetips.
I'm just a teacher, doing this in my spare time before class.
The disenfranchisement is of the voters who do vote and whose candidate may achieve 49.9% of a vote, which candidate therefore does not advance to the general election.
Lori's comment about setting special elections close to occasions which may depress voter turnout reminds me of how often I've experienced notice of availability of a draft EIR issued just before Thanksgiving or Christmas (especially the latter) thus reducing the true number of days (either 30 or 45 days) available to citizens for preparation of comments to be submitted.
No, she's saying that it's far more fair to enable the top two candidates to advance to the general election. It's always possible that both candidates could be of the same political party.
A change to top-two advancing will not change the election turnout for a primary or special election but will enable far more voters (those who DO turn out) to have a say in who they elect.
Wouldn't a ranked voting system allow all candidates to run in the general election while achieving the same goal as runoffs of preventing any candidate from winning with less than 50% of the votes?
Would be interesting to know how many San Diegans are aware how SD City and County "primary" races work. I'd guess that a large share (most?) don't know that they're not really primaries. Answer could be to teach those folks that they're wrong. Or better, align our elections with usual expectations.
Also worth considering if major initiative decisions shouldn't typically be reserved for general ballots, and not appear on what are understood to be party primaries/preliminaries.
@Jeffrey Davis I especially agree with your suggestion that initiative decisions (forget "major") should be reserved for general elections and not primaries or special elections.

Well we made it to the river about 2245 on Friday night and it was still a balmy 100º outside. Thank goodness for a faithful air conditioner which worked superbly the entire weekend. I got some time in the pool, some time at a slot machine that liked me and some time at the outlet mall. What more could you ask for your birthday?
Ironically the red dot on the above picture is showing where our room was on the 2nd floor.
The pool was very nice, except for kids. Older I get the more I like adult only times.
This was from the riverwalk. Right below is where the jet ski rental is and a bit further to the left is the sandy beach where people are there at 7am setting up screened rooms and shade for them selves. Not a bit of sand is free for laying out and getting sun. Have to squeeze by to get into the river.
It was 115 on Saturday. Way warm. We left Sunday morning and the closer it got to home the more humid it was. Now it's 75º and 64% humidity. I can deal.
Peace from the bunny. This is what we need, a lot of this.

portfolio printing
Sep 27, 2012
I have been taking photos for around a year and have got a good amount of pictures to now print of the pictures to make a portfolio folder.
My question is where is the best company in the UK to print my work with great results. I'm also looking for value for money to ensure I don't end up paying over the odd.
I would be looking at sizes A3 or A2
Your advise is appreciated. Thank you

3 Ways to be a Better Spouse
To have a decent marriage takes work. It isn't the Disney Fairy Tale we grew up watching which caused our delusions of "forever-after" love to formulate. When you witness a successful marriage, you shouldn't think it's because the couple is "lucky" or the husband must be "awesome". Realize that both or even one spouse is working hard and putting in the extra time to make the marriage a success. A successful marriage doesn't happen automatically either. It happens when you accept your spouse completely (Read more...)

So a couple of weeks ago I received a chunky package. I had recently bought loads of supplies and beads, so I quickly looked at the back of the envelope to see who it was from.
It said Linda Anderson. Linda is my partner in the upcoming Bead Peeps Swap N' Hop so I knew that I was in for a treat.
As soon as I opened the package it felt like it was my birthday or something. Have a look at what Linda sent me …
I got the best and most organized partner! She even sent me a nice list describing all the goodies that she sent :-)
Here are the many lovelies that she sent me …
*drool* Aren't those beads and focals just gorgeous? I got mother of pearl, labradorite, a handmade octopus pendant, the cutest handmade elephant charms ever *squeee!* and many, many other beads and awesomeness!
I can't wait to start designing with them. This is going to be so much fun. Some of the focals and beads that Linda sent me go extremely well with my new ocean themed line. How awesome is that now?
Linda received the package I sent her too so I can reveal what I sent her :-)
This is what I sent …
Lots of beads in various colors, some clasps, some suede cord (love using that cord in my designs) and some of my own handmade pendants, a bracelet bar and earring charms from my Topkapi collection.
Close up shot of my handmade lovelies :-)
Oh I can't wait to see what Linda makes with them. I'm sure that whatever she makes it will be awesome. You can see Linda's fabulous creations at her Cherry On Top Design shop on Etsy here. Be sure to also visit her blog From The Bead Board here.
See you all on May 2 for the big reveal. Woohoo! Can't wait :-)
Much love and peace,

Respond Social bridges the gap between Social Media and formal complaints management
Social media channels such as Twitter and Facebook are fast becoming the first point of contact for consumers who have a complaint. Very often customers are guaranteed a rapid response compared to using call centres or email. It makes sense therefore for customer experience managers to be able to monitor and manage all feedback, including social media, via one platform. This is precisely what Aptean's Respond aims to achieve.
Aptean has incorporated an add-on social media management component into Respond 6.2, the latest version of its complaints and case management software solution. For now, the social media platforms to be monitored and managed include Facebook and Twitter. Combined with an industry leading text analytics and sentiment analysis engine, which categorises feedback by severity and flagging those requiring urgent response. Respond allows social teams and complaints management staff to prioritise accurately and understand at a glance customer sentiment trends.
Colyn Dee, director of Cirrus TechVue, which represents Aptean in South Africa, says that companies often have two separate teams for dealing with social media and customer experience. Very often the customer experience team is not aware of a complaint that has come through via social media.
"With Respond's social engagement platform, your customer service team can now have direct access to your company's Twitter and Facebook channels to respond to, resolve and escalate inbound complaints, compliments or feedback," notes Dee.
The customer service team can even create cases within Respond directly from a conversation if needed. The social engagement platform links up two traditionally separate teams by allowing social and formal case management to happen under one roof. The software enables organisations to get to the root cause of customer satisfaction issues and quickly implement improvements
"It isthe perfect solution for consumer-focused sectors such as financial services, medical aid, travel, utilities and cellular phones companies," says Dee. "Responding quickly and appropriately to negative and positive social comments can help businesses in these industries increase customer loyalty and retention."
For more information: http://apteanrespond.com/6-2.html
How effective complaint management improves business operations
At management level, you may only see those complaints which are escalated. It is probable that the front-line people receive and often resolve many more similar problems on first contact. Whist this is good, you are missing out on all the priceless feedback your customers are giving you for free.
Unless a proper system is in place to track and manage all complaints, you won't know that the same issue comes up time and again. That also means you don't have an opportunity to change something to prevent it from happening again.
Without a proper system, front-line people don't have a way to capture information in a consistent manner. When they do anything, it is in a non-structured method which cannot be analysed.
Do you manage customer complaints by forcing a square peg into a round hole?
Do you use Excel to do your accounts or a CRM system to manage complaints?
Or perhaps you develop your own systems?
Why re-invent the wheel when there's an easier way…
