Trump v Clinton? Even state that always calls it right can't decide for US Presidential election
In Youngstown, Ohio, which has backed the winning candidate in 28 of the last 30 presidential elections, Peter Geoghegan visits a community where the American dream lies in tatters... and finds little consensus on who should lead the nation.
If the 2016 presidential election was settled on road signs, there would only be one winner in rural America. In farming country an hour south of Cleveland, someone has daubed five letters in bright red paint on the side of their house: Trump. On an escarpment in western Pennsylvania, a massive billboard of Hillary Clinton sports a gigantic Pinocchio nose. Beside a soulless strip mall a few miles south of Youngstown, Ohio, a homemade placard is tied to a lamppost: 'Save America — Vote Trump'. Youngstown is exactly the kind of place that the Republican nominee's scorched-earth rhetoric seems to be chiming with voters.
Youngstown was once a relatively affluent blue-collar city. The steel mills that stretched for 25 uninterrupted miles along the banks of the Mahoning River employed tens of thousands. The blast furnaces ran 24 hours a day, filling the sky with charcoal-coloured smoke and the pervasive smell of sulphur. There was even a branch of Macy's department store among the grand early-20th century buildings downtown.
These days the sky around Youngstown is clear blue. The clang of metal and the hiss of steam has disappeared. The steel industry collapsed in the Seventies. Like the work, the people have left. The population of Youngstown plummeted from around 140,000 in 1970 to less than 65,000 today. Bruce Springsteen even wrote a dolorous lament to the town's post-industrial plight.
Traditionally, Youngstown's white working classes were rock-solid Democrats. Now many are switching over to Donald Trump. The Republican nominee's protectionist message is playing well across the American 'Rust Belt', not least in Ohio. This could augur well for Trump: Ohio has backed the winning candidate in 28 of the last 30 contests.
"Trump is the only option that's not the political establishment," says Justin Summer, a 22-year-old barman in O'Donold's Irish bar. "Neither the Democrats or the Republicans have done anything for us. If he gets in, he'll shake things up. We just want to see someone who will do something for us."
In Trump, Summer sees echoes of another controversial populist: James A Traficant Jr.
He was a Youngstown Democratic congressman — until his expulsion from Congress in 2002 after a bribery conviction. He died in 2014 after a tractor fell on him. Traficant "was a crook but he was doing it for the people. A lot of people see Trump like that," says Summer.
Retired insurance salesman Tom Burnbrier is voting Trump, too. "We need a change. The Democratic party has run Youngstown for years, and it has done nothing but get worse," the 75-year-old says.
Youngstown is showing some signs of recovery from the Great Recession. The unemployment rate, which peaked at nearly 17% in January 2010, stood at 7.6% in June. A new business incubator recently opened. But these green shoots cannot cover up Youngstown's problems. On once-bustling Federal Street most of the units are either vacant or house liquor stores and bail bondsmen. Entire city blocks lie empty.
For many the American Dream — that hard work alone suffices — has disappeared along with the steel industry. For the poorest fifth of the US, real wages have not increased since the Nixon era. The disenfranchised white working class is a key constituency for Trump. That the unexpected hit on the US book charts this election summer has been a personal account of growing up poor and white in Appalachia is no coincidence.
JD Vance's Hillbilly Elegy charts a community — the Ulster Scots — that have struggled to adapt to a changing America. While life-expectancy for middle-aged African-Americans and Hispanics is rising, whites in their 40s and 50s are dying younger of suicide, liver disease and drug overdoses.
The well-paying industrial jobs of the past are gone. In places like Youngstown, levels of education — the only effective route to advancement post-globalisation — are below the US average. The result among many whites is frustration, anger and a sense that the system has failed them.
"Middle-class America is fed up. The rich just get richer. The poor are getting their welfare cheques. What are the middle classes getting?" says Carolyn Givens.
Although a registered Republican — she supported Ohio governor John Kasich in the primaries — Givens will not be voting for Trump. One reason is she believes that the reality TV star has no solution for the biggest crisis facing her community — not jobs, but drugs.
Youngstown — and particularly its more salubrious suburbs — is in the midst of a heroin epidemic that is ravaging much of Ohio and the Midwest. In one recent weekend, 11 overdoses were reported in a single district of Mahoning county.
Heroin came quietly. It began almost innocuously in the late-1990s and early-2000s when pharmaceutical companies began promoting new, opiate-based medication for pain relief. The drugs were marketed as non-addictive. The reality was very different.
"We saw a lot of kids who had been hurt playing sport, who got a prescription and said 'this feels good', so they started sharing it with their friends. Then they were hooked," explains Brenda Heidinger, associate director of Mahoning County Mental Health and Recovery Board.
'Pain management clinics' started opening up in the centre of Youngstown, doling out medication with minimal oversight. Ohio's state government has started clamping down on the 'pill mills', but it's too late. Many users have already started turning to heroin.
Where opiates can retail at $100 a pill on the streets, a bag of smack is as little as five bucks. Often it comes laced with fentanyl, a powerful tranquilliser implicated in many recent deaths. Cable television is peppered with commercials for addiction services. Everybody seems to know someone who is a user.
"People are still reluctant to admit that this is happening, but we need to face up to the scale of this," says Pamela Ramsey from the Neil Kennedy Recovery Clinic in Youngstown. Each week around 650 people attend the centre's Alcoholics Anonymous-style clinics.
Ramsey takes me to a residential clinic on the outskirts of Youngstown.
At the end of a tree-lined street pockmarked with boarded-up houses, a dozen or so patients are huddled outside smoking. Most wear hoodies pulled tight around their faces, but it's clear that the majority are in their 20s, white and well dressed. This is not the usual picture of urban drug abuse.
"When I started 19 years ago, the average person was 35 years old and on crack," says Judge Jack Durkin who administers Youngstown's drug court. "Now the average age is 23 and they're addicted to opiates or heroin."
Judge Durkin is a registered Democrat but he says he understands some of Trump's appeal in Youngstown. "The middle class have lost hope in government as usual," he says over lunch in one of city's many Italian restaurants. In the 70s and 80s, Youngstown was the scene of frequent violent clashes between rival Mafia outfits.
"There is a proportion of undecided voters who traditionally would have voted Democrat but who are now considering voting Republican, because of Donald Trump."
As across the United States, racial undercurrents bubble just below the surface in Youngstown. Downtown is predominantly black. In the overwhelmingly white suburbs there is little love for Obama. Complaints about environmental regulation destroying the steel industry might be genuine, but often they come tinged with a sense that the current president is "not like us".
Earlier in the summer, Trump campaign chair in Mahoning County, Kathy Miller, was filmed telling a journalist that she didn't think "there was any racism until Obama got election". The video went viral. Miller was forced to resign.
Taxi driver Ronnie says that Trump "is clearly a racist". After four decades working in the steel mills, the African-American now drives an Uber cab. He will be voting Clinton: "The union is backing her, and that's good enough for me."
Trump's avowedly white nationalist election strategy is at odds with the reality of modern America. There are some 42 million foreign-born people in the US, and many more identify as minorities. Proposals to build a wall with Mexico and ban Muslim immigration may have heads nodding in agreement in Youngstown taverns, but they help to explain why Trump is polling at barely 1% among African-Americans.
Clinton has courted minority votes — and with good reason — but travelling across the Midwest, the enthusiasm gap between the two candidates is palpable. Put simply, Trump voters are generally more full-blooded in their support. That's backed up by recent polling, too.
Another potential problem for Clinton is young voters. "I wouldn't vote for Trump. He's an idiot," says Tyler, who works in one of the few cafes in downtown Youngstown. Nevertheless, she is not planning to cast a ballot for Hillary. "I don't think I'll vote," the 22-year-old says.
Across the street in O'Donold's Irish bar, Adam Brite is finishing a lunch of fried fish. The 28-year-old voted for Obama in 2012, but will be staying at home on Tuesday. "I'm so disillusioned with the whole thing. I don't like Trump but I can't bring myself to vote for Hillary."
Driving south of Youngstown, through rural Ohio, the landscape changes. The only rust is in the colour of the leaves. Rich, verdant fields of corn open up as far as the eye can see. But the same Trump signs recur. For every Clinton placard proudly displayed in a neatly mown lawn, there are dozens backing the Republican.
'Make America Great Again'. That, of course, begs a question — why in these rich farmlands do people feel that their country has lost its way? Again, the question of race seems to permeate below the surface. White lips curl when they speak of Obama. Many are buying guns for fear of a clampdown on firearms by a president Hillary. "Clinton is great for gun sales," a barman tells me in Ashland, a town in rural Ohio.
A thrice-married adulterer might not seem like an obvious conservative standard bearer, but polls suggest that most Republicans will go out and vote for Trump.
In an upmarket suburb of Cleveland, a Democratic stronghold, Tony, a retired banker, told me that Clinton wants to introduce abortion at full term. "They rip the head off as it is coming out. They puncture the back of the head and chuck out the brain," he said solemnly as he sat outside a Whole Foods Market. He is backing Trump.
The recent announcement that the FBI will launch a probe into emails that include Clinton's has opened up questions about her probity, even among her own supporters. Trump — remarkably for a man with multiple bankruptcies and business links to Russia — has successfully linked Clinton and corruption in the public imagination. Polls have narrowed in recent weeks.
But the abiding sense in much of suburban America is that many voters have little time for either candidate, and for the wider political process.
"These are the choices we have?" Melissa Rush, a middle-aged Cleveland housewife, tells me. "I'm not voting for either one."
In 2016, America is arguably more divided than at anytime since the Civil War. "It has just got worse and worse over the last 15 years," says Stephan Ohl, a father-of-two who lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, another state Trump will almost certainly need to turn red if he is to take the White House. "You can tell someone that the sky is blue and they will tell you it's grey."
Ohl is voting for Clinton, but sees little prospect of post-election reconciliation: "Whatever the outcome is going to be, it's not going to be good. This division will not just disappear."
In this most unpredictable of election years, that seems to be the only thing that can be said with certainty about Tuesday's result.
On this side of the pond
Kerry McKittrick talks to United States citizens living in Northern Ireland about the voting choices they've made
Padraig Sloan (35), a production assistant from New Jersey, lives in Belfast with wife Maura and daughter Tierna (1). He says:
I've been in Northern Ireland since 2007 apart from a two-year break in the middle of that period. I do keep up to speed with American politics and I've used my absentee ballot. This year I voted for Donald Trump because I would like to see someone in the White House who isn't a career politician. America needs a shake-up. Most of the politicians have been there for 30 years and they don't really do much. They will sit in Congress and the Senate just drawing a salary so it will be good to have someone to keep them on their toes.
I wasn't always going to vote for Trump, but I really don't want to vote for Hillary Clinton because she's in the pocket of big business. If Bernie Sanders had got the democratic nomination I think I might have voted for him over anyone. I think his own party stole the nomination from him."
Brittany Breslin (27), a PR account manager from Pennsylvania, lives in Belfast with husband Richard. She says:
I've been coming to Northern Ireland on and off for about 10 years but I finally made a permanent move over here to do my Masters degree six years ago. I lived in Washington DC before I came here so because of that I'm a bit more inclined to pay attention to what's going on. Also, I still have to pay taxes as an American citizen and that makes you take more notice of what is happening back home. I have the right to either go home and vote in my home state or send in an absentee ballot. I've voted for Hillary Clinton this time round.
I was a strong supporter of Bernie Sanders but he lost the primary so I'm a begrudging voter of Hillary. At the end of the day, though, I can appreciate that she had the experience over Sanders. It's not that I question her qualifications for the role, it's just that there are a few policy issues I don't line up with her on.
I don't think anything could persuade me to vote for Donald Trump at this stage. In fact, I've only been half-joking when I've told my husband that if he's elected I might not go home for the duration of his presidency.
What's been a real sticking point for me has been friends and family members coming out in support of Trump in spite of all the scandals and the ridiculous things he says. Elections can get quite heated but then everybody makes up afterwards, yet I don't see how that will happen after this one. I've had family members telling me I must be mad to have voted for Hillary.
I think people in the States have become disillusioned with the whole system which isn't flexible because of the way the constitution was written. A lot of it is about class and money, it's not about the issues any more. They see Trump as coming from the outside and not wrapped up in this political system. But to me that's a scary thing — I wouldn't let an unqualified dentist work on my mouth so why would I let Donald Trump run my country?"
Jenn Clark (37), from Maryland, lives in Rostrevor and runs the evangelical youth group YWAM with husband John. They have three boys, JJ (10), Ridley (8) and Callum (6). She says:
I've lived in Northern Ireland for 15 years now. I met my husband doing a reconciliation and peace-building course here.
I pay a great deal of attention to US politics and although my husband isn't American he follows what is going on in the States even more closely than I do. I have already sent in an absentee ballot — I'm a registered Democrat in Maryland and I have already voted for Hillary.
At the start I thought Trump running for president was funny, but about six months ago I started getting concerned as he kept winning. Now, I find the concept that he could be elected president thoroughly shocking. Whether or not he wins on Tuesday I'm very disappointed that he made it this far. I don't understand what's happening to my friends and family that they would support someone who is racist, a bully, sexist and with zero political experience. He's in the position that he's in because he plays to people's fears and I think it's sad.
One thing is that I'm a person of faith and I look at other people of faith who are supporting him and find that the most troubling.
I think if you're an American living abroad for any length of time then that will open your mind to the things that Trump is saying — I know that not all Mexicans are drug dealers because I've been to Mexico and have Mexican friends.
Trump is the voice of the worried and the under-educated."
Margaret Kisner (30), from Colorado, lives in Belfast with her partner Jonathan and works as a compliance officer. She says:
I studied in Scotland for a year in 2006 and met my partner, Jonathan, in halls of residency. I came to Northern Ireland to be with him and have been here ever since.
My degree was in political science so I try to keep an eye on what's happening in Colorado and what's happening on a national level. I have voted for Hillary Clinton in this election. I've been a registered Democrat since I was old enough to vote so it wasn't a hard choice for me. I'd never vote for a Republican candidate but seeing a woman running for office and one with so much experience excites me. I have a lot of respect for Hillary Clinton — she's intelligent and liberating.
There have been scandals in both camps so that doesn't concern me, and what has happened in the Clintons' marriage is for Hillary to deal with. On the other hand, however, Donald, is facing a number of assault claims. To my mind, there's a big difference between that and infidelity.
I would be gutted if Trump won. He doesn't have a positive message and his plans for when he is in office are really unclear. We can enjoy him in a farcical way as a candidate but if he actually won it would be awful. It wouldn't be a good image for the country I come from."
Scott Sotomayor (21), from California, is a training leader for an ecumenical organisation and lives in Rostrevor. He says:
I came over here for three months in 2013, then I returned in 2014 and I've stayed ever since. I pay a lot of attention to politics in the US.
This time round I have decided not to vote — I'm not being passive, I just can't bring myself to choose a lesser of two evils.
On the one side you have a man who exhibits none of the values that I think the US needs if we want to move forward as a country.
Trump doesn't embrace different cultures — the culture in Harlem is every bit as American as the culture of the farmers in Missouri. The way he views foreign affairs is not the way I want us to be represented as a country.
And Hillary seems to have been bought out by big business and big banks. I also hate war and Hillary seems to be an aggressor. Still even if we have a bad president, I can get up in the morning and lead my life to the fullest because I have faith in people over politics."
Tammy Pinnella (47), a teacher from Florida, lives in Belfast. She says:
The email issue is the biggest thing for me, as far as Hillary goes. It worries me. I think it's not such a big deal if you just say, 'Oh, she erased some emails'. But then she lied about erasing the emails and then she came up with dumb excuses for erasing the emails.
To me, that's national security and if you're going to do that when you're Secretary of State, what are you going to do if you're President?
As for Trump, yes, he definitely goes off the rails, but I think business-wise, strategy-wise, he'd be a good president, because, really, the president is just a figurehead; they just micro-manage everybody else. I think his cabinet's going to be strong enough.
If the sexual assault allegations had come out six months ago, I think it would have weighed more than coming out this close to election day, because they could have come forward at any point. If they had come forward six months ago, I think it would have been stronger than a week before the election, when there's no time to prove whether it happened, or it didn't happen.
Trump is definitely not president-worthy in my eyes, but I think he's the better of the two. You want somebody that represents the United States to be dignified. And I just don't think either one of them really is. Here we are. We're America, a world power, and people look at America and they say, 'Oh my gosh, this is what you pick?'
So, it's very disheartening, as an American. It's just a mess."
Jenny Holland (40), from New York, runs food company Bia Rebel in Belfast where she lives with partner Brian and her son Daniel (7) from a previous relationship. She says:
I lived in Northern Ireland for three years as a teenager and then I moved back here with my son three years ago. I've been following the run-up to the election obsessively — I voted for Obama the first time but didn't bother the second time because I thought it would be fine. I really made a point of getting my absentee ballot for this election and I mailed it on Monday. I voted for Hillary Clinton, who is one of the most experienced people ever to run for the presidency as she was a senator and secretary of state.
I don't know what to say about Trump — it's scary that he's come so far. I know that there's a lot of disenchantment out there and I understand why but he's completely unqualified for the job. I can't begin to image what would happen if he was elected.
He is the most appalling candidate I could imagine — I remember being horrified at the idea of George W Bush and now I would take him over Donald Trump any day. I think what bothers me most is Trump's laziness. He can't form coherent sentences and doesn't seem to have read a policy paper in his life. He has no clue or curiosity about the world and doesn't seem to think that's a problem."

Justice? Man urinates on swanky car in street – gets punched to the floor by owner
SHOCKING video shows a man urinating on a parked car get beaten to the ground when the driver caught him in the act.
In the clip – filmed by a CCTV camera – a lad in shorts stands under a streetlight at night as he relieves himself against a shiny, black 4x4 on an empty street.
But he isn't alone for long.
The vehicle's angry driver spots him from afar and runs into stop him – however instead of speaking to the lad or pulling him away from the car he handles it in a different way.
The motorist throws a massive punch and screams at the lad as he sits frightened on the kerb.
Soon the angry driver's girlfriend turns up to diffuse the situation before the clip ends.
The clip - believed to be filmed in America – has racked up thousands of hits in only a few hours.
And viewers were both shocked and amused by the clip.
One LiveLeak user wrote: "His stupid fault really. Never mess with a man's automobile."
Another commented: "The car does sort of look like a toilet. In a way."
And a third added: "I've had this happen to me before. I was the guy who ended up on the floor. Not worth it. Go to a toilet. Haha."

I'm struggling with my school and work schedules, so I apologize my blog has fallen behind! I need to habitually set aside time for my dear Wobby.
I've been falling behind on my Prompted 365 project for a couple months, and I have to admit recently hardly any of my photos have been taken on the actual day they were supposed to! I just can't find the time, but I'm committed to this project and won't be giving it up this so along.
1 August: Money
2 August: Permanent
Some little bird deemed our tree worthy for their nest! I am strangely honored.
3 August: Familiar
Our buddy Lazar Wolf a few new decorations in his home, including a waterfall and fake plants (he moved the purple one himself, which is why you can see the weight sticking out of the gravel).
4 August: End
5 August: Sharp
6 August: Far
My new planner traveled all the way from South Korea!
8 August: Soft
9 August: Clean
A few new bowls, straight from the dishwasher. I picked these up at Anthropologie for less than $4 and really love them! They're the perfect size for snacks and fit perfectly into my mismatched cupboard (I have a penchant for dishes).
10 August: Key

Alyssa! Wonderful photos as always – I think I'm in love with that cute planner and I love the mix-match colours and patterns of the bowls. I hope work and school aren't too stressful and you're having a great week :)8 September 2011
Thanks Jessica! I am having a pretty good week, but it's an adjustment for Joseph and me both. The hardest part is not having a two-day weekend. Combined with school, I never have more than one day off at a time. I can't really complain, though–I love my job and my classes!
I am really loving your new blog!9 September 2011
I feel like I get caught up only to get distracted and behind again. But with it being over half way through the year, there's no way I can let myself stop now.
I'm so behind going through people's streams for this project too (ahhH!), but your photos are lovely as usual. :)9 September 2011
I love love love the money photo. And your planner is adorable. =)
I'm so glad to see a post from you, I've missed them!9 September 2011
I am, sadly, one of those photographers who had to give up the 365 project because of school. I don't know how I would be able to keep it up now with everything on my plate. It's lame, but I have no choice. I started taking photos on the wrong days and felt like I was cheating so I gave up. Oh well. Maybe next year? But good for you for sticking with it! : )11 September 2011
An Anthro has opened in Edinburgh! I thought of you when I passed by and will definitely pop in, but maybe during the sales :P2 October 2011
You should check it out! Just don't look at the price tags ;) Everything is beautiful, and the store is such a joy to be in. I always way I want to live in an Anthropologie, haha. If you really search the sales, you can sometimes get things at a decent price! I've gotten some beautiful dresses for under $40 and tops for under $20, but that's no doing much better than that, sadly. Still, it's where I buy most of my clothes!4 October 2011

The Lakers nab a point guard in Ramon Sessions as Cleveland continues to rebuild
Give Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert credit. He may have acted churlish in the wake of LeBron James' nationally televised embarrassment in 2010, but he's been more than willing to buy his team into a series of draft picks. Last year's move was an incredible batch of luck -- the Cavs were able to trade for Baron Davis and waive him after only a month of play because of an amnesty clause instituted after the trade, taking on a top-seven pick that jumped all the way up to No. 1 in last year's draft lottery, resulting in Kyrie Irving. This year's trade deadline grab won't result in a lottery pick, but the team will add to its growing depth by taking in the Los Angeles Lakers' first-round selection, in return for sending Ramon Sessions and Christian Eyenga to L.A., in exchange for Jason Kapono and Luke Walton.
It's a solid deal for both sides. Sessions doesn't fit the Lakers' pressing need for a distributor and defender at the point guard position, but he's come out of nowhere to hit 26 of 62 (42 percent) 3-pointers this year, after hitting just 13 of 71 (18 percent) in his first four seasons, and his scoring will aid a Lakers team that is underachieving at just 16th in the NBA in offensive efficiency.
The Cavaliers, meanwhile, will pay Walton's final $5.8 million next year for what is usually a middling asset -- a lower rung first-round pick. In this deep draft, though, it's worth it. Mainly because it's not our money, and the Cavs (after strangely deciding to hold pat following James' departure) are rebuilding slowly and surely. And if the Dallas Mavericks improve their standing in the season's final month, the Lakers can decide to grab their first-round selection, which is protected up to the 20th pick between now and 2017.

Fr. Antonio Martello, a hospital chaplain was shocked to see that the baby boy he was praying over was still breathing, a day after he had been aborted at 22 weeks. The case of a "therapeutic" abortion in Rossano Calabro, Italy raises questions about the reliability of sonographies in diagnosing deformities.
Due to a perceived, and as yet unspecified, malformation of the fetus, possibly a cleft palate, the mother had solicited the abortion at a public hospital in the southern Italian city.
The "interruption" of the pregnancy was carried out in the early afternoon of April 24, Fr. Martello told Italy's Il Foglio newspaper this week. The day after, at 11 a.m., he went to pray for the child as he said he always does with aborted and stillborn children.
Noting movement under the sheet with which the babe was covered, the chaplain removed it and saw the child kick. "When I called for help and the pediatrician and anesthetist arrived ... they also observed that the baby was breathing, moving and that (his) heart was beating," he told Il Foglio.
"What I witnessed last Sunday had never happened to me before," said the priest, who was unable to make further comment due his involvement as a witness in the investigation of the case.
According to neonatal specialists, reported the newspaper, vital signs are so subtle in a 22-week old child that only an expert could recognize them. Due to the lack of pulmonary development, the child should not even be able to breathe unassisted, "not for an entire, very long day, but not even for an hour," they reported.
Director of Neonatal Studies at the University of Turin, Claudio Fabris, told Il Foglio that it is "in consideration of the fleeting possibility of survival at 22 gestational weeks (that) many health companies ... have established internal regulations that prohibit therapeutic abortions after that period."
The possibility of survival at that age has seen an increase in recent years in Italy. According to the national statistics, in 2008 five babies of 41 born prematurely at 22 weeks survived, in the previous three years only one survivor was recorded in 28 cases.
"As you can see," said Fabris, "the numbers are extremely scant. But we have the obligation to treat the newborn in extreme prematurity as any person in risky conditions and we must assist him or her adequately."
According to Italian law, if the possibility exists that the fetus can live autonomously, an "interruption" can only take place when the mother's life is in serious danger and in that case doctor's must adopt "every appropriate measure" to safeguard the life of the child.
There is no specific time limit established within the law, which, as the newspaper explained, allows space for medical advancements that increase the possibility of the child's survival at ever younger periods of gestation.
Obstetricians and Gynecologists from the Medical Colleges in four major Roman universities affirmed this law in a statement in 2008 in which they sustained that from "the moment of birth the law attributes the fullness of the right to life and, therefore, to healthcare."
It is further stated in the joint document that doctors must also do everything possible to save the child who survives an abortion, "even if the mother is against it, because the interests of the newborn prevail."
The right to abandon the child at birth is also guaranteed by law, underlines Il Foglio, but "health personnel have the duty to assist the aborted baby, when he or she can survive."
In the case of the child from Rossano Calabro, after spending his first day of life under sheet, the baby died in an incubator in the intensive neonatal therapy unit at a second hospital in nearby Cosenza the next day.
Doctors predicted that his age could have been underestimated thus explaining his development and subsequent survival.
A margin of error of four or five days, Dr. Fabris said, is "fundamental for explaining the survival of that baby."
Although it is still not known, probability suggests that the malformation of the baby may not have been serious. Geneticist Bruno Dallapiccola, scientific director of Rome's Bambino Gesu pediatric hospital, told Il Foglio that in his experience of thousands of cases, "80 percent of the pathologies found sonographically, after a competent genetic consultancy, reveal themselves to be completely compatible with the normality of the unborn child."
After sonographies in other institutions, he said, "couples arrive to me terrorized, with diagnoses almost always, fortunately, without true consequences."
An autopsy is currently being carried out which will shed more light on the case from Rossano, possibly clarifying the age of the child and the nature and gravity of his malformation. In the meantime, a judicial process is being brought against a doctor and two nurses for voluntary homicide.
Archbishop of Rossano, Santo Marciano, told Vatican Radio this week that such a case is "something truly aberrant.
"I define all this as barbaric," he said. "I believe that non-Christians might also be in agreement on this."
Inspectors from the ministry of health will begin their investigation of the case on Monday.

Toyota Supra Rear!
Several things, Japanese car makers agreed to hold their power output to 200hp. There were issues with the the economy, increased regulations that effected demand. It's a shame that so many car companies that created exciting performance machines have resorted to boring grocery getters. I do think Mazda has done a good job creating cars that drivers really enjoy.

Hey, I drive a gen 2 tC and love every second. Scions have a serious kick for the pricetag
Skelashat December 20, 2016
I have a MKIV TT. The sticker price was $48,000 back in 1994. With inflation that is over $73,000 today. There just weren't enough people willing to spend that kind of money on a Toyota.

Nyill October 31, 2016
Too bad this one is N/A and therefore not so fast. Still really pretty.
StacyHickox October 24, 2016
it is! guy paid a lot for the the ITBs and the tuning and and the results weren't that good.
Hinoldo October 18, 2016
This is my best friend's car/old room mate. It was built by FSR Motorsports, and yes it is ITB, not turbo'd. He is just as fast as most turbo's on the track though.
GastonCoit September 26, 2016
I don't either ha, I just saw him write "elergy" and realized it pronounced that way. I didn't bother Googling it, I figured it would have been a club or something.
Ceribo September 1, 2016
Such a sexy car! It's a shame that they don't make the anymore.
Ightcer August 27, 2016
That beauty is NA?! You just made me delete this pic after saving it.
hobbyrobie186 August 25, 2016
One of the nicest Supra's I've seen. Love the rear lip instead of the big spoiler (not that I don't love the big spoiler) but this is a pleasant change. It's also widebody and wow I'm rock hard.
goodellkol August 23, 2016
Nope, just an agreement. Though there was Those companies are really just performance divisions and aftermarket parts manufacturers.

This is the first time I've liked the rear wing of a MKIV Supra… wonder if there's any functionality to it.
Nah June 18, 2016
Seriously I can feel each blood vessel pulsating in my throbbing member.
Rel June 15, 2016
Judging by the shape of the supra rear hatch I'd say that it should be right in the airflow. So I'd say yes.
Nah June 13, 2016
>Japanese car makers agreed to hold their power output to 200hp.
I was under the impression that the magic number was 276 HP, and that it was less of a gentleman's agreement and more of a way to dodge increasing insurance premiums for customers.
ArletteMaddix June 8, 2016
I actually think its bizarre when people put lots of emphasis on RWD or FWD when talking about aero. Every car is different. Tune the aero for the car.

Always wanted one of those, could never justify the price tag. I had an 86 1/2 and an 87 tho. Loved those cars. My dad still has the 86 1/2 garaged somewhere.
Chaiwor May 2, 2016
I have no idea why I wrote 200hp. It was 276hp and it was a voluntary, gentlemans agreement. Thanks.
TakakoMelnick April 24, 2016
Really? Damn. I haven't really heard it beyond Worcester/etc. Good to know we have more to our name than just pahk the cah in Havahd Yahd.
MeghannBoardman April 3, 2016
I was under the impression that it was actually legislation that stated cars could not be more than 276HP. And that is why TRD, Nismo, RE Ameyiya, Spoon, Mugen, etc existed.
NelsonBakken March 18, 2016
200 whp on 12″ wide rear wheels. Looks nice, but I bet is pretty boring on the track…

Yes. My buddy knows the guy.
It has a metal wide body and a NA 2JZ with ITBs

Doesn't really matter, it's not like there is going to be any extra downforce on launch.
Chaiwor February 2, 2016
interesting point of view. Those hips (especially on the right) look Porsche-like from that angle no doubt.
uruch January 22, 2016
i prefer the original spoiler or none at all, dat ass tho
Mcaaast9 January 14, 2016
I think some of the best engines came out of this (2JZ and the RB26?) because there was a focus on reliability and strength over published numbers. Wish some companies would get back to it.
CatharineDorrance January 8, 2016
wow thats sexy, thanks for the new desktop background!
walters1981 December 23, 2015
This is my good friend's car. Having ridden in it a few times I can tell you it is a beautiful car. Full metal widebody. Itb's are nice and different but he didn't get the results he was looking for. He is currently sending it to the shop to get some more work on it. Can't wait to see it back on the track.
CatharineDorrance December 22, 2015
He has a [big wing]( http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8arvbyKml1ryt96oo1_500.jpg) back on it now. But he races it, so it has a purpose
Isquaugh December 19, 2015
And it was actually honda who first broke this rule and gave us the 276hp+ Japanese monsters we have today. What car did they break the agreement with? A 300hp RL/Legend
(Although plenty of cars like the supra and gtr actually made much more than 276, they were always officially advertised as having only 276)

Even a post-WWI rebuild M1917 will have value so if it checks out otherwise $200~400 isn't too bad.
At one time M1917's were the redheaded stepchild of the collectors world. Yes, they had history, but they just weren't that desirable and they sold for cheap. Now with '03 Springfields bringing $800 and (way) up, they have come into their own as a US military collectable and the prices have started to climb.
Original condition M1917's are getting hard to find and will bring a premium. One thing about the US Endfields is that they have the manufacturers mark on all major components and are therefore much easier to verify their originality.
As for the barrel, you would be surprised what a good cleaning will do for it. I have had great success with using a bronze bore brush, Hoppes No9 and lots of elbow grease. Clean it from the breach end and after a half dozen passes with the brush, run a couple patches down the bore. It may take a while, but I have had barrels that looked hopeless come out nice using this method.
I once bought a 1898 Krag that was in beautiful exterior condition very cheap because the barrel looked like a sewer pipe. It sat in my safe for a year while I looked for a barrel for it until one day out of boredom, I decided to try and clean it up. Due to the difficulty of trying to push a brush through by hand, I wound up having to put the brush on a cleaning rod in my drill and running it through the bore (slowly) while chunks of petrified carbon came out the other end. It took a while, but eventually I was rewarded with an excellent shiny bore with very few pits.
Just for a little gun related eye candy, here is a Winchester M1917 that was overhauled at the Ogden Arsenal during WWII and inspected by Elmer Keith.

Hello,I'm using the HD4000 embedded into i7-3720QM, to help an h264 encoder.I am wondering if it's possible to disable the power management of the HD 4000 to make the frequency stable at 1GHz. I think the turbo mode kills my performances.GPU-z shows me that the HD 4000 remains at 350Mhz, as the GPU load is very low (~10%). The GPU is only used during 1ms every 20ms to compute picture analysis.Thank you

Guess what WE're up to?!?
Below: in the painting station my husband rigged up after one coat.
(I'm hoping it appears a little more "blue" than black after the second coat
and when hung in our living room.)
OK. Finished and rehung.
In certain lights, it's blue.
In other light, it's a shadow and doesn't show the blue as well.
It doesn't "pop" as much as I'd hoped,
but it IS consistent with other blues in the room.

Maharashtra initiated to bring down money required for electricity cost in agriculture
Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis informed that Maharashtra has the biggest burden of subsidising power for agricultural activity in the country. Power which costs Rs 5 to Rs 5.50 per unit is provided at just Re 1 per unit for agriculture.
The state is trying to bring down the power supply through producing power for agriculture via solar panels and installing energy efficient pumps throughout the state.
The initiative will bring down the money required for cross subsidy in agriculture and also power price in Maharashtra, says the experts.
Since the burden of this is being passed on to the industrial sector, the government is trying to bring agricultural feeder on solar power so that in 15-20 years the state can bring down electricity charges for industries.
Chief Minister launched four mobile apps developed for Mahavitaran, the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL).
An official informed that solar power would result in saving the subsidy amount up to a large extends.
Since it is not possible to bring down the cost of production for power through coal and since there is compulsion of 10% solar power production as per an international treaty to which India is signatory, the state would have to generate 10% of non-conventional energy.

Motorists Ignoring No Go Signs In Flood Hit Village
7:42am 7th January 2014
Motorists are ignoring flood warnings in one of the worst hit parts of Dorset.
Parts of North Street through the Village of Charminster have been left impassable due to the rising river and rain water running off the fields.
Road closure signs are in place but people are still driving through and splashing flood water dangerously close to people's properties.
Nichola and her Mum live in the village. Nichola told Wessex FM she's seen dozens of people drive on through;
"We've had lorries going past, motorbikes, cars, all day long. We went down the road to buy some sand bags and as we got home and started laying them down to protect our property, someone drove by and waved at us. It's just not fair."
"You still have a diversion and the cones up, they are in the middle of the road, but there's a gap on the side so people are going around the signs and going straight down the road. They're completely ignoring the warning."
Dorset Highways Manager Martyn Hill says the boards are in place for a reason;
"We may put flood boards out there which generally mean you can travel through the flood with some care. Sometimes we will put road closed boards out and that is a warning not to drive through those roads, you can completely ruin your car."

The initial sniffs after the pour reveal supple, buttery, and piney aromas; more time allows a pleasant fruitiness to appear along with traces of vanilla and cedar. Palate entry is honey sweet and silky; by midpalate the backbone flavors are clearly the sweet grain and vanilla bean. Concludes warmly in the throat. An extremely pleasant malt.

A simple tutorial for creating beautiful white salt dough for christmas ornaments & gift tags!
Ever since I was a kid I have played & created with salt dough. It's inexpensive, easy to make, & pretty versatile.
As a kid I created shapes, animals, & people from salt dough & delighted in painting them. For our wedding we created little gift tags for our favors stamped with "Thank You." Last year I created gift tag ornaments for Christmas presents with salt dough & this year I will again be using salt dough to create Christmas ornaments for our Christmas tree.
When I shared my gift tag ornaments tutorial last year I realized that I could create a whole post on whitening salt dough, but the holiday season was keeping me busy & I never got around to it. But this year I am starting extra early because I don't want the holidays to get away from me!
So today I will be showing you how easy & quick it is to create white salt dough!
One of the reasons I created white salt dough in the first place was because I love to creatively test ideas for my blog & I really wanted to come up with something ascetically similar to cornstarch ornaments.
The problem with salt dough is that it naturally has a rustic appearance. Now don't get me wrong I love my fair share of shabby chic & rustic things, but sometimes I want to start with a clean blank slate.
The solution came from a fall project I made a few years back when I created this Mini Pumpkin Patch.
And the answer? Paint!!

2 Cups Flour + Extra for stickiness
1 Cup Salt
1 Cup Lukewarm Water
White Paint – Arylic or whatever you have on hand
In a large bowl mix 2 cups of flour & 1 cup of salt. Then slowly mix in the lukewarm water until a dough like consistency forms.
Too wet? Add more flour! Too dry? Add more water!
Knead for 15-30 seconds to create a nice ball of dough.
Then slowly add white paint, kneading it in with flour (as needed), until it is the color you like.
That's it! All that's left is to create!
Note: This makes a lot of salt dough. So if you don't want to make this much it's easy to decrees the amounts.
2 parts flour, 1 part salt, & 1 part water.
Easy peasy!
Note on Storing
If you are unable to use up all of your salt dough in one sitting you can keep it in a sealed container for 3-5 days. Just add a little water or flour as needed.
Note on Drying
Normally I let my salt dough dry at room temperature over night. But if you are in a hurry you can quicken the process by placing your salt dough on a parchment paper covered baking sheet in the oven at 200ºF for 2-3 hours or until they are hardened. The thicker they are the more time they will need to dry. Just keep an eye on them if you put them in the oven.
I'd love to see how you use your white salt dough!

I think we all have had those times where we get disorganized. This year, the Storm Robotics mentors put directors in place of our sub-teams in FRC.
These members are not meant to be the only brain for their team since all of our team members bring a specific advantage to us. Directors are meant to make sure each sub-team knows what to do. These individuals should be proud to lead our team and keep in mind, if any member applies themselves, they will promptly be promoted.
A list of these individuals will be provided below:
GiaMarie Mandilian
Technical Director
Matt Kasper
Director of Competition and Operations
Khushul Patel
Director of Programming and Controls
Prath Kotgire, Tim Gordon
Director of Scouting and Strategy
Grace Striddick
Director of Digital Communication
Josh Gould
All unfilled positions are due to a low member availability in our Program Management team. Here we are looking to fill with FTC members for the time being.

Hi, and good luck!
What are the steps for Maxwell Render license?
challenge accepted.....
Looks like great fun, excited to see WIP.
Hi there,
My name is Mihai, I work for Next Limit handling tech support/beta testing and other various things for Maxwell Render. Just wanted to mention 2 things:
- you can find all the docs for Maxwell including tutorials, KB etc here: Maxwell Render - Next Limit support site
- if you're working with Sketchup make sure to download and install the Render Suite plugin, NOT the standalone plugin. You can find more info about the differences of these two here:
SketchUp - Maxwell Documentation - Next Limit support site
Good luck to all!!

As some of you may have noticed, I've not been particularly active recently. This is partly due to having a lot of things on my plate at the moment. Plus, I've realised that I'm not suited to be involved with groups as I'm terrible at talking to people and dealing with conflict.
In the beginning, I had all these wonderful ideas on how to transform the group but when it actually came to it, I was terrified on doing these things.
So if there is someone who wants to take over this group then I'll be more than happy to hand it over.
I'm really sorry about this but I would rather get this off my chest and let everyone know that I'm having a problem now, than not saying anything at all and letting this group fester.
Is anyone interested? If not, I'll either go to the Projects forum or get the group adopted. If that doesn't work then this group can go under construction until I find someone else to take over, or be deleted.
Once again, sorry for making promises that I didn't end up keeping.
I know I'm new, but I would be willing to give it a try. I really like this group and wouldn't want to see it go under. I how things get better for you soon. :/ But thanks for notifying us!
I'd be more than willing to take it over, if you'd like. Just let me know how.
And I hope everything is okay, it sounds like you've got a lot to deal with. Note me anytime if you need to talk, okay?

(For the record, yes, I know that technically speaking it's impossible for my legs to talk. It's also impossible for them to formulate an independent thought, let alone access the Internet, log into my blog and type. It's a literary device. Work with me on this one, people.)
Let us be frank right up front--today the Boss went for a five-and-a-half mile run, and we're feeling it. Running is supposed to be fun, right? The Boss has done a fair bit of running over the years, so there must be something enjoyable about it. I mean it must be, because doesn't the Boss look like he's having fun in the following photos?
We can't get the feet to join our cause, either. Those two are ecstatic that the Boss went for a run at all. Then again, we think the feet are crazy. I mean, seriously, who else could look like the picture below and think, "Hey, whatever that was that made us look like this, let's do it again!"
KSOs and didn't do this run barefoot, like he sometimes does.
We've also got the Boss' waist campaigning against us, too. The waist probably does have a point that the past few months has been tough, with the reduced levels of activity and resultant tighter fit on the Boss' pants cutting off some of the oxygen to the waist. We've told the waist to just suck it in and deal, but lately the waist has said that it's fed up with all the pressure it gets from the belt.
We suppose we should just suck it up and accept our fate. Actually, we should be pretty proud of what we do. Every day we get the Boss where he needs to go, and even though we complain a bit when the Boss pushes us hard, but we haven't let him down yet. The last few months have been rough, with the big move and all the driving, with very little time for us all to get outside and move. Truth be told, we secretly enjoy the workouts, we just want the Boss to be more consistent so that we can go as long and as intense as the Boss wants, anytime he wants.
Perhaps we should go to bed, just in case the Boss decides to make good on his threat to run again tomorrow...

Do Text Message Reminders Increase Preoperative Exercise in Obesity Surgery Candidates?
This study has been completed.

Preoperative exercise has been shown to improve physiological and functional capacity in patients undergoing abdominal surgery to prepare them for the stress of surgery. Patients undergoing bariatric surgery are advised to partake in regular preoperative exercise. In the setting of bariatric surgery, as well as preparing patients for the stress of surgery, it is also thought to increase the likelihood that they will exercise postoperatively. However, compliance to this advice is extremely low. Text-message interventions have been shown to improve compliance to other lifestyle interventions. The investigators will compare the rate of compliance to preoperative exercise prior to bariatric surgery in patients who receive a daily text message to those who do not. The investigators will also compare weight loss.

Cant install os to hard drive
Have a problem with installing windows 7. It says that "the windows can not be installed to this disc. this computers hardware may not support booting to this disc. ensure that the discs controller is enabled in the computer bios menu".
I have looked in the bios and cant see anything of relevance to enable anything. the HDD is a seagate barracuda 7000.9. Any possible fixes anybody knows of have googled it extensively and found nothing.
|My System Specs

Hi and welcome to the forums
Is the HD listed in your BIOS?
Are you overclocking via BIOS (per your System Specs)? I recommend reverting everything to Auto or default before installing.
|My System Specs

Ah sorry forgot to mention i am building this for a friend and everything is on stock has nothing to do with my system spec sorry about that. Its all totaly fresh out the box only thing i changed was the ram voltage to what it should be.
|My System Specs
|27 May 2010
No problem, but please tell me: does the BIOS list the HD correctly?
Also, can you let us know your Mobo make and model?
|My System Specs
|27 May 2010
ASUS p7p55d is the mobo and it does indeed show the HDD in the bios.
|My System Specs
|27 May 2010
Nice one
Make sure the controller is not set up as RAID in BIOS (shouldn't be if it wasn't changed, but you never know)
Have you gotten to the screen where you can load drivers for your HD?
|My System Specs
|28 May 2010
Its sorted now the drive is nackered put it into my computer and had the exact same problem am returning it and going to get something different. I found a seriously old 20gig HDD that my friend is running 7 from until a he gets the new one. Thanks for the help though people
|My System Specs
|28 May 2010
Thanks for the feedback.
Have you tried another cable? Maybe it is not the drive (and that would save you a return hassle).

Two cited for drug violations
Two Carbon County males have been charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
State police at Lehighton conducted a traffic stop at 12:15 p.m. May 2 in East Penn Township, which yielded a DUI-suspended driver.
Both the driver, Jason Shoenberger, 32, of Lehighton, and the passenger, David Dicher, 37, of Palmerton, were each found to be in possession of small amounts of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Both were taken into custody and charged.

You've been working very hard to get over your break up. You've likely read all the advice that tells you that no contact is the best route to take if you want to get your ex boyfriend back. You've followed the rules to a tee. You've spent the last few weeks avoiding all contact with him and focusing solely on your own life. But now, the inevitable has finally happened. Your ex boyfriend has texted you out of the blue. Your heart is pounding, your palms are sweating and you're on the brink of texting him back telling him you still love him and need him. Before you do anything, you have to take a step back and clearly think about what it is that you want to say to him. Even though he's reached out to you, if you text him back the wrong thing, he's going to disappear into the distance just as he did before.
Follow the One Hour Rule
When an ex boyfriend texts you it's vitally important that you don't immediately jump back into a conversation with him. If you respond right away you're bound to say that you miss him or you wish you two were still a couple. If that's how you genuinely feel it's understandable why you'd share those sentiments with him. The problem is that you initially have no idea why he's contacting you and you want to be certain that you don't come across as too needy or pathetic.
That's why it's essential that you take at least an hour to respond to his text. You want to give him the impression that your life is full and that you aren't sitting by your phone waiting to hear from him. This step can make or break a reconciliation attempt so it's imperative that you don't skip past it and send him a text back too quickly.
If you have to, turn your phone off for the hour or go out for a walk, without your phone. The only difference the sixty minutes will make is that it will allow you time to gather your thoughts and also demonstrate to him that you aren't desperate for his attention again.
Be Friendly When You Text Him Back
As much as you want to tell your ex boyfriend that you miss him more than anything and you wish you two were a couple again, refrain from doing that. The best advice for you at this point is to send him back a generic text that mirrors what he said to you in his text. For example, if he asked how things are going, reply to him that you're doing well and then ask how he is. This is not the time to get into anything too heavily, especially anything to do with your breakup.
Often, a man will text his ex girlfriend out of nowhere to tell her he misses her. This is much more common than most women realize and it's a double edged sword when it does happen. Your heart is likely going to melt over the knowledge that he is thinking about you, but be forewarned that a man will often send a text like this to gauge whether or not his ex is willing to hang out with him. In other words, he may not be looking for anything more than a temporary fling because he happens to be lonely.
If he does indeed text you to say he misses you, ignore the remark and instead reply that it's been so long since you've heard from him. This shows him that you're being protective of your heart and that you're not going to be influenced by his sentiments until you know whether they are heartfelt or not.
Be the First to End the Conversation
Even though you likely hope the text conversation with your ex boyfriend lasts hours, you need to end it shortly after it begins. There are several reasons why this is beneficial to you. First, and foremost, you don't want your primary method of communication with him to be texting. That's too impersonal and it's too easy for him to say things that are not sincere. Secondly, if you end the conversation first by suggesting you have somewhere to be or you are in the middle of something, it will show him that he's no longer at the top of your priority list. Establishing this fact early in the reconnection process is important because it sets the tone for the new connection you two may establish.
Just tell him that it's been great catching up but you need to go and you hope he stays well. If he stops you and suggests that you two talk again soon, agree but not in an overly excited way. You must ensure that you keep an emotional boundary around yourself until you have a clear idea of what his true intention is.
Also, don't text your ex boyfriend again. Let him be the one to reach out to you after that initial encounter. You know that men love chasing after the woman they desire, so give him the opportunity and space to do just that. You definitely won't regret it when he eventually tells you that he wants another chance to love you again.

I still can't believe VNNR hasn't been blogged about more. I just came across one of this new remixes yesterday which is getting support from both Busy P and Mr. Oizo. The second I heard it I put it on repeat. It sort of feels like a slightly more intense and sped up version of SebastiAn's Motor. It doesn't really matter what it sounds like though, because it'll probably murder anyone you play it for.
Depuis91 – Erothiq (VNNR Shake the Room Remix) (320 kbps)
I also highly highly suggest you pick up his latest remix of Somebody's Going Down Tonight's track Duckkk from Beatport. You can find out what you're missing by watching Mr. Oizo play it.

Design Rationale Development
Infographics | Timetables | Maps | Brochures | Stop Displays | Transport Access Guides | Design Rationale Development | Pictogram Standards | Route Numbering Strategy | Best Practice Designs
Any work that TransitGraphics develops for all our customers includes a large amount of previous experience and know-how as to what works and is easily understood.
As part of our reviews of customer information collateral including timetables, maps and guides, we produce design rationales to complement the new designs and to explain to customers and industry groups why the change has come about, what parts of the change meet relevant social needs as well as meeting the needs of people with a disability or impairment.
Our design rationale can then be used by key suppliers for the implementation of new brands and information styling.
To form our design rationales we can also perform or undertake stakeholder and passenger focus groups to gain valuable feedback to make information more personalised for each geographical area.
