Data & Statistical Reports
Community Data Profiles compare local areas with the state on various indicators.
The principal Community Data Profile for death data is the Leading Cause of Death Profile.
Other Community Data Profiles which include death data are:
Assault Injury
Child Health
Chronic Disease
Infant Health
Minority Health
Self-Inflicted Injury
Unintentional Injury
Women's Health
The Death MICA allows users to create their own tables by cause of death, age, race, sex, ethnicity and geographic area.
The annual Vital Statistics publications contain numerous tables and graphs showing death data. Some of the tables are similar to those which could be created using the MICA. Commonly requested data not in the MICA include:
- Tables showing the ranked leading causes of death statewide for all residents combined, separately for Hispanics, and by race (white, black, and other) and by age group
- Number of births and deaths for cities with population 2,500 or greater
- Tables by cause of death for cities with 25,000 or more population
- Life expectancy tables statewide and by sex.
- Tables and graphs showing death rates statewide from 1911 to the year of the report
- Tables and graphs concerning infant deaths, including numbers for counties and for cities over 25,000 population, rates for Regional Planning Commission areas and statewide, and statewide tables by birth order and cause.
The Priorities MICA includes numbers of deaths and death trends among its criteria for ranking health needs.
"Cause of death" refers to the underlying cause of death. That is the disease or injury which initiated the chain of events leading directly to death, or the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury.
Causes of death are classified in accordance with the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Effective with deaths in 1999, a change in the ICD affected which cause would be chosen for some deaths.
Rates of death are usually expressed per 100,000 population. Since age is the greatest risk factor for death, death rates are frequently adjusted to compensate for difference in the ages of populations.

It is almost 10 pm, both girls are asleep in their rooms and all I want to do is go in an apologize, hug them, and tell them I love you more then ANY phone call or text. Today a little 4 year old boy lost hid life and it appears that it was caused by his Mother who swerved into another lane while on her cell phone and hit a truck that had 3 men inside.
Though the details are still surfacing I am sitting her trying to cry for her, for their family, for the family of the 3 others who were in the oncoming car.
We heard the sirens today, saw the trucks flying down the road. I posted on my Facebook wall and was told that there was an accident. This accident has really made me think about life and how precious it is.
Munchkin is almost 4 so full of life, curiosity, and excitement for each day. I can not imagine what this Mother is feeling (or will feel when she is faced with the information of losing her child). No CALL -NO TEXT is worth it. I can not judge this Mother because I am guilty of taking phone calls ALL the time with out using a hands-free device. Hell, I even have Bluetooth in my VAN and yet I still answer and chat on the phone.
I am begging you… pleading that you do the same. Your children are more precious than the call. Remember 15 years ago or so… when no one really cared about talking to anyone until they were home. Nothing is more important then a human life. No sale at Target, no vent about your husband, no lunch date… NOTHING.
Please… stop using your phone while driving. Stop putting the people in your car and on the road around you at risk.
Leave your phone in your purse in the trunk or back seat if you can't trust yourself. Turn it OFF. Invest in a hands-free device… there are TONS of options to make driving safer.
I am asking you to join me in this effort to honor this 4 year old child who lost his life today… let us do our part in protecting others and stop driving distracted.
Life is precious.. ditch the cell phone and drive.
My prayers go out to ALL involved in the crash this morning and to all the Firefighters, Medical Personnel, and Police on the scene.
Edited to make some corrections that of course were needed since I was an emotional basketcase when I wrote this last night!

Warwickshire Chef to feature in National TV advert
This month, Simon Haigh, a Michelin Starred chef based at Mallory Court in Royal Leamington Spa, will make his debut on the small screen as part of manyfacesofpotatoes.co.uk's latest TV advert. Set to hit national TV for two weeks from 9th July, the 60" feature length ad is designed to promote the versatility of potatoes and sees Simon carefully craft canapés of delicious 'mini baked potatoes with caviar, sour cream and chive' and 'brandade with violet potato crisps' for his restaurant guests.
Simon earned his first Michelin Star in the Scottish Highlands before moving to Mallory Court Hotel, part of the Eden Hotel Collection, where he has built on this enviable foundation by retaining a Michelin Star for 10 years running (2002-2012).
Over the years Simon, who is now Food and Beverage Director for Eden Hotel Collection, has maintained his position at the forefront of the Midlands culinary scene and his constant quest for exciting combinations and innovative techniques, combined with honest ingredients and impeccable presentation, has been recognised with a host of industry awards.
Simon says, "I was thrilled to be asked to feature in the latest ad from manyfacesofpotatoes.co.uk. Potatoes are such a versatile ingredient - they're always on the menu at Mallory Court and I'm forever encouraging my team of kitchen staff to experiment with them. There are lots of varieties from all over Britain which taste so different, so as a nation we should embrace and celebrate this by enjoying them in lots of different ways too. I can't wait to see the ad on national TV and put Warwickshire on the map."
Simon Bull, marketing manager for Potato Council, adds: "I'm delighted to have such a high calibre of chef feature in our new TV ad, demonstrating just some of the many ways potatoes can be enjoyed'.
You can also visit www.manyfacesofpotatoes.co.uk for lots more delicious recipe ideas and to view the extended version of Simon's small screen debut.

Did you know?
- A massive 13% of Britain's entire Vitamin C intake comes from the potato
- There is more Vitamin C in a portion of new potatoes than in an apple
- There is more fibre in a jacket potato than in a bowl of bran flakes
- There is more iron in a serving of new potatoes than in a portion of steamed spinach or a pint of Guinness
- Potatoes can help with weight management - when cooked with little or no fat and served in an appropriate amount, they help lower the energy density (the amount of calories/kilojoules they provide per gramme) of the meal and so will help to fill you up on fewer calories
- Potatoes are a starchy carbohydrate and are a great source of energy for all the family.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 50 minutes

- Leave to cool for 5-10 minutes. Brush away any excess salt then carefully cut long ways, about half way down, give a little squeeze to open up the cut
- Season if required, spoon in some of the crème fraiche, add a generous dollop of the caviar and sprinkle with chives and serve
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
200g Maris Piper potatoes, boiled, then mashed
100g Salt Cod (soaked and poached in milk)
2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced

- Season with salt, pepper and lemon as required
- Add a tablespoon of crème fraiche at this point for extra creaminess (optional)
- Serve in a dish with a bowl of crisps as a dip

Brain Fever is what Sally Field's character gets on Soapdish, right?
"Puccini cries out for spirals, but really good ones." ~ Dick Button, 1998 Worlds
Sorry, I think you are correct. I remember reading about Mary having a stroke, but maybe that is how she died. I'd have to go back and look (my kids were huge LHOTP fans so we have done lots of reading.) I think I remember reading that she did have to have a operation later in life because of some sort of face pain - muscles or spasms or something. Clearly there were health issues. It is interesting that there was only one surviving child in the next generation, Rose, and she didn't have any children despite being married for a while. Carrie married later in life (well, late for the times) and I believe had two step children, but none of her own. Grace didn't have any children, but she apparently was diabetic so that isn't too surprising. With families generally being quite large, it does seem strange that there weren't more grandchildren.
I loved autumn, the one season of the year that God seemed to have put there just for the beauty of it.
― Lee Maynard
You're right - Mary died of a stroke (while visiting Carrie).

The V8 engine
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010A nice and easy way of starting up blogging again is just showing some videos. At least it requires very little effort from my side. Here's an old friend of mine, Kasper Lund, explaining the V8 virtual machine:

Good food and service. Apparently we have gone to the wrong restaurants before now because we found Charleston to be lacking good restaurants ....way too much fried food but Hanks delivered. Thanks!!!
Have not been to RB's much since it was supersized to a three level monstrosity on "The Creek", but met some friends on top last Saturday and I must say the experience was very pleasurable. I was somewhat concerned about the food quality based on previous visits, but something has definitely changed for the better because the entrées passing by our seats at the bar looked, smelled, and likely tasted spectacular. While my party did not order any main dishes from the dinner menu, the selections we did sample were definitely fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The blackened salmon Caesar salad was so much better than any other similar one in this town with a large portion of nicely seasoned fish, soft-leafy spinach, and real Caesar dressing it could easily be enjoyed independently as a satisfying meal. The fried onion rings are lightly battered to perfection and extremely addictive. I mention this because I am not a big fan of onion rings and for the most part avoid them entirely. Other samplers were equally well prepared with fresh ingredients and served at the correct temperatures. The place was busier than normal possibly due to some large wedding, prom night, and private parties yet the service did not seem to suffer. How the lone bartender was able to handle the constant waves of patrons and remain as friendly and accommodating as she was is beyond me. Other "so called" bartenders in Mount Pleasant and downtown Charleston could learn much from this young lady. Everyone in my group, some of whom were from out of town, really had a great night on Shem Creek and that is not so easy to accomplish anymore. True, the "overkill" parking lot signage needs to go and the nautical theme is a bit over the top, but Ronnie Boal's seafood palace beside the shrimp docks is providing quality local waterfront dining and, like the man himself, will still be there in one form or another when the rest go down with the ship.
I've lived here for 15 years and my partner is a native Charlestonian. Despite what the review previous to mine says, locals *do* eat at The Wreck because, for what it is, The Wreck is excellent. It's not FIG or McCrady's, but it is impeccably fresh seafood prepared well and served in an unpretentious environment.
Yeah the owner is a grumpy old man until you get to know him, and nearly all the staff are his relatives. They do their own thing and will not cater to you. That's part of the charm. If it's not your style, don't go. But if you do go, don't bitch about it because you have been warned.
Fantastic service!
We visited on a busy Friday night and the restaurant was packed. Luckily for us there was space at the community table and we were seated right away. Seeing the crowd I figured service would be slow, but I was wrong.
Our server was very attentive and cocktails and waters were provided almost immediately. The food came out quickly as well.
The atmosphere was great, my only reason for removing a star is that I found the tuna and mahi tacos to be quite bland. Still the rest of the meal was pretty good and the service was outstanding.
We will be returning
I've been going to Buddy Roe's for about 4 years now and absolutely LOVE IT!! They always have great entertainment and good food. Love the outside deck. If you want to dance the night away this is the place to come to. Ronnie and Kim Johnson are very good, down to earth,honest people. I very highly recommend Buddy Roe's. Diana Talbott
There is a new chef in the kitchen and for fans of now defunct Coco's Cafe in Mt. P, you'll recognize him right away. Yup. I can't wait for him to add his own spin to the menu.
We had a group of 7 down at Blossom last weekend and were pleasantly surprised with the meal. It had been a year or two since the last time we were there and felt that the restaurant and the menu were slightly dated and had not returned since that time. The menu, while manageable in size, still included enough variety to satisfy the 11 year old to 78 year old diners in our group.
The appetizers of oysters, calamari and spinach/artichoke dip were tasty and adequate in portion size to share for the table. The main dishes ranged from Shrimp to Pizza to Gnocchi and all were created with obvious care and consideration of subtle variations in taste.
The waiters and staff were knowledgable and attentive even in a very crowded and busy setting.
All in all; a very nice evening out.
The cabana bar is a great place for enjoying a cold beer or nice glass of wine. I really enjoy the atmosphere, the staff, and the food. They have recently started half-priced appetizers during happy hour which allows me to get my favorites like mussels, crab bruschetta, and oysters without breaking the bank.
Four words: soft-shell crab sandwich.
Excellent food. Cool place. Would have give it 5 stars, but a little pricey
I have been to this place on numerous occasions (both for lunch & dinner) and I have had always a great expeience. The food has been great and the servers pleasant, even when the place was hoppin'! The chilled grilled flank steak salad, at $13, is worth every penny!!
Great burger/great value/great beach ambiance. AND, they have a wide selection of beer including Land Shark!
My husband and I ate there a few weeks back when we were vacationing. The service was excellent. We had the shrimp burger and the fried shrimp basket. The food was excellent. The sweet potato fries were to die for. The owners were very nice and made sure we were happy with our food. I would highly recommend Buddy Roe's

Thibodeau: Rose 'most likely out' for playoffs
Tom Thibodeau moved the closest to declaring Derrick Rose out for the season Saturday morning when he said the Bulls' star is "most likely out" moving forward in the postseason. "But you never know," Thibodeau said. "The playoffs are stretched out too, so you have to factor that in. Who knows another week from now where he is? You always want to leave that possibility open." Both the Bulls and Rose have left open the slim possibility that he make his season debut during the postseason after missing the entire regular season following left knee surgery. But the saga for a while has pointed to Rose sitting out the entire season and making his return next training camp.

House's Wedding Rental Causes Controversy
Filed under: Crimes and Misdemeanors
If you have an estate and you need to make the rent one enterprising idea might be to rent it out for weddings. Just make sure the neighbors won't mind. The Daily Breeze has the story of a Palos Verdes Estates home which was rented out for weddings. Unfortunately neighbors in the elite Southern California community took issue with the streams of caterers and wedding guests pouring onto the estate each weekend. They complained about the noise repeatedly and city officials were brought in on the case. Now the home's owner could face up to two years in jail and a $4,000 fine in order to deter her from doing it again. The owner, Melahat Uzumcu was arraigned today on charges of violating the zoning code, creating a public nuisance and conducting a business without a license. The home is still listed online through HomeAway.com for 10,000-$12,000 per week or $2,000 per night and listing pictures show a charming large home with an ocean view.

2 S. Fla. men come face to face with exotic snake
MIAMI (WSVN) -- It took two South Florida hunters to wrangle one of the massive snakes.
It was man versus snake in the everglades. Two python hunters armed with a helmet camera came across a monster snake.
It was 16 feet and eight inches long and weighed about 130 pounds. "I freaked out when I saw it," said Ruben Ramirez. "It was like the movie Anaconda. That's how big it was."
The female Burmese Python was found on a canal bank. It's believed to be at least 10-years-old and it's no easy task getting it out of the cage. "I grabbed it by the tail," said Ramirez. "I couldn't hold it and it kept on pulling and pulling and pulling into its borough."
The snake put up a fight. It's strength was no match for the hunter. "By the time he got there," said Ramirez, "there must have been about 3-feet left in my hand."
The beast, was almost the one that got away. A second hunter arrived just in time. The men had to dig the snake out of it's borough. "I could not stop it from going into it's hole," said the other hunter.
Native to Southeast Asia, the snakes have exploded in South Florida, breeding in the hot humid conditions. Many blame pet owners who release the snakes in the wild when they get too big to care for.
The government banned the import of the invasive species earlier this year. "It does us no good to put in dollars of investment in the Everglades, only to have these giant snakes to come in here and undo the good that we are doing."
On average, the Everglades is home to tens of thousands of Burmese Pythons, but there's nothing average about this big girl. "Our average snake is anywhere from six feet to ten feet long. That's the average size," said George Brana.

A poem about stress, family life, health, sleepless nights, and menopause.
Bout with the
Covers on the bed occurs
During the hour of 3
Every morning.
Fighting for comfort, I try to analyze
Growing temperatures in a seemingly young
Human body.
It is far from sun's light. Analytical theories are a
Joke at this point in time since sleep is
Key to a healthy morning's start.
Lying in a pool of sweat is not how I pictured
My mid-life,
No. What did I do to deserve such a fate? Be
Oblivious to the reality of age? Is thaat so wrong?
Peering at the clock, I continue to
Question my life.
Random thoughts of feeling old
Steal more
Unfortunately for me, I have another
Vigorous day
With a Grandfather that has
Xenophobic tendencies due to his Alzheimer's.
Yeilding to
Zany thoughts is not what I need right now.

Cedric doesn't have the word sissified, but Pomeroy does...wow.
There is another one though, I believe it's a bit more common and known than those listed. And really "completely sissified" for Sisyphus? I can understand if they mentioned that the nn of Sissy can be used, but really? Sissified shouldn't be used to describe any names, imo.
I'm going to start another thread, so we don't over take this one.

@augusta is correct-- I should not have borrowed her word 'oppressed.' It was sloppy. It implies historical reality rather than the social prejudices I was attempting to discuss. I borrowed in an attempt to illustrate a fallacy but in doing so went down a totally false road. She was right to call bullshit on it.

Was so looking forward to receiving this when I ordered it - what a HUGE disappointment. Fit was all wrong but best way to describe it would be sloppy. Think it would looklike this if yu had a straight fiure or curves. Material is a cheap silk as well - quite misleading in the deion. Ordered the hot pink colour-that was the only true thing about this dress.

By Bill St. John, Special to Tribune Newspapers
January 9, 2013

Is the weather outside frightful? Well, what's inside the wine is delightful: warming flavors of dark red fruits — as in a berry pie steaming from the oven; chalky, chewy tannins to give the jaw both a workout and a sense of purpose; and often enough this time of year, the jolt of an extra measure of alcohol, nature's own antifreeze.
Over the past few chilly weeks, I've tasted through several dozen wintertime red wines and list here for you a few standouts. To end, some recommendations of "fortified" reds, wine such as port with its added dose of spirit. The wines are listed in ascending price; reds first, then the fortifieds.
2009 Buried Cane Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley, Wash.: Killer price for picture-perfect Northwest cabernet; gobs of color, fruit and round-the-mouth tannin, all luxuriantly delivered; would be perfect with a lamb preparation. $13-$15
2010 Carmen Carmenere Gran Reserva Apalta Vineyard Colchagua, Chile: A Maurice Sendak monster: big, brooding hunk of a red but gentle, even playful, of manner; vivacious black-red fruit, with dusty, minerally tannins and come-hither aromas that jump from the glass; all that for an amazing price. $15
2009 Bogle Vineyards Red Blend "Phantom," California: Classic Bogle: a mix of mostly old vine zinfandel and petite sirah for superconcentrated fruit softly turned out; and lots of that for little outlay; a fireside red for a nugget of hard cheese. $16-$18
2009 Ravenswood Zinfandel Old Vine Sonoma County, Calif.: So cool to have a big zin that's not "hot" (a mere 14.5 percent alcohol) but no skimping on dark berry fruit and gripping tannins; for steak, the grill or red sauce Italian-American. $15-$18
2009 Cousino Macul Red Blend "Finis Terrae" Maipo, Chile: Wow, sold on aromas alone — waves of dark red fruit and subtle, staccato notes of wood, mineral and herb — all preface to a juicy, smooth, supple texture; tannins that cleanse but do not dry; mostly cabernet sauvignon. $20-$25
2006 Pisoni Rebo Dolomiti Alto Adige, Italy: Rebo is a modern grape, a cross of teraldogo and merlot; nicely showing its six years of softening age, this is spiced dark cherry fruit, moderate tannin and as gorgeous a hue of purple-red as you could see. $22
2010 Marziano Abbona Barbera d'Alba "Rinaldi" Piedmont, Italy: Barbera may be Italy's best food red, as this shows, for its delicious, juicy red fruit edged with terrific acidity and nuzzling tannins; great persistence after the swallow too; enjoy with nearly any Italian dish. $25
2009 Frescobaldi Red Blend "Luce Della Vite Lucente" Tuscany, Italy: Aggressive in fruit and tannin, the way you'll want that oomph when up against rich, fatty meat dishes or something slathered in olive oil; sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon, merlot. $25-$30
2011 Shatter Roussillon Rouge Maury, France: All grenache from very old vines in southwest France, but made by a trio of New World winemakers; so, a combo of earthy fruit and sleek texture; sets the tongue to salivate. $30
2008 Re Manfredi Aglianico del Vulture Basilicata, Italy: This is "mountain" aglianico, the way Napa sports "mountain" cabernet; the wine pumps intense black-red fruit flavors, tied together with in-your-face tannin and beautiful scents of mineral and earth. $35-$40
2007 Vina Ventisquero Red Blend "Vertice" Apalta Vineyard Colchagua, Chile: The nickname comes from a nob of a hill jutting up within this famed vineyard; the dark, concentrated fruit is saved from clumsiness by its "lifted" character; it's an enormous wine, light on its feet, especially in its comely texture; marries carmenere with syrah. $45
2009 Buty Winery Red Blend "Columbia Rediviva" Phinny Hill Vineyard Horse Heaven Hills, Wash.: What the monocled Monopolist would drink as his everyday red, just because it's so darn enticing after every two-buck sip; a big but deft blend of 75/25 cabernet/syrah. $50
2007 Eponymous Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, Calif.: Cabernets from this stellar vintage come scarce now, but here's a beaut; superluxurious turn for Napa, with chocolate and mocha notes as sparks to overall aroma and flavor of blackberry. $60
2008 B Cellars Blend 25 Napa Valley, Calif.: Two-thirds cabernet sauvignon, the rest syrah, a mosaic of six celebrated Napa properties; dense and extracted but softly rendered, a very pretty move on the palate; beautiful chalky tannins. $60-$70
Fortified wines
Churchill Port 10-Year Tawny, Portugal: Liquid flan, creme caramel as spirit; hint of nuts, medium sweetness, dryish finish; a favorite house long at it. $25
NV Domaine Madeloc Banyuls "Robert Pages" Banyuls, France: Slightly fortified, slightly sweet, from old vine grenache; dried cherry core flecked with cinnamon; beautiful maroon color. $32
2008 Quinta de la Rosa Port Late Bottled Vintage: A style of port that piggybacks the finesse of vintage port onto the heft of ruby reserve port; nicest feature is that its moderate sweetness dries on the sip's finish; a must-have with blue cheese. $35
Sandeman Port 20-Year Tawny, Portugal: My desert-island port is 20-year tawny, for its haunting aftertaste whiplashes of orange peel, almonds, mango and honey; nothing like it; let it abduct you by itself or pair it with dried fruit and washed rind cheese. $50
If your wine store does not carry these wines, ask for one similar in style and price.

Everybody (<--translation: media types) is talking about an interview in which the President makes his case for reelection. A second term, he argues, would end the current gridlock between the Democratic White House and Republican Congress, leading to some sort of grand bargain -- or at least a deal that would improve the crappy economy.
Here's the money quote:
"What I'm offering the American people is a balanced approach that the majority agrees with, including a lot of Republicans. And for me to be able to say to the Republicans, the election is over; you no longer need to be focused on trying to beat me; what you need to be focused on and what you should have been focused on from the start is how do we advance the American economy. I'm prepared to make a whole range of compromises, some of which I get criticized from the Democratic Party on, in order to make progress."
Liberal commentators scoffed (though more in sorrow than in anger), pointing out that Republicans who blocked Obama's slightly-left-of-Milton-Friedman agenda throughout his first term aren't going to be more likely to compromise during his lame-duck second term. Furthermore, Obama is wrong about GOP tactics changing once he hits his constitutional term limit. Nasty--and effective--attack ads aside, it really isn't personal for them. Republican strategists will work to defeat whoever wins the Democratic nomination for president in 2016 just as hard as they schemed to stymie Obama. Which is, of course, exactly what an opposition party should be expected to do.
Unless they're Democrats. But I digress.
I couldn't help noticing two remarkable aspects to Obama's statement:
First, it tacitly admits that he didn't get much done on jobs, unemployment and the economy -- the issue that has consistently ranked as the voters' top concern the entire time he's been president. This is a dangerous gambit. Blaming the other party for leaving a mess and for obstructionism has a poor record of electoral success, particularly on the economy; fair or not, voters tend to hold sitting presidents responsible for the state of their wallets.
Second, it asks us to assume that a president's second term is an opportunity. In fact, history suggests anything but. The vast majority of the signature legislative and policy achievements by U.S. presidents occurred at the beginning of their first terms: FDR's first 100 days, LBJ's civil rights act and his war on poverty, Reagan's partial dismantling of the aforementioned social safety net. Though slow out of the gate, George W. Bush got a reset in the form of 9/11, which he used to push through all sorts of mayhem: the Patriot Act, legalized torture, and a pair of ridiculous optional wars.
The record of non-achievement of second terms is so grim that you have to wonder why presidents ever run for reelection. Whether you look at Richard Nixon, who won a record 1972 landslide only to resign two years later, or Bill Clinton's second term, when he was caught in the mire of the Travelgate and Monica Lewinsky scandals, or Ronald Reagan's second term, which was dominated by Iran-Contra and hobbled by the early onset of Alzheimer's, it is hard to think a president who got much done during his second term. Look at George W. Bush's number two: he wanted to privatize Social Security and expand the GOP into a permanent majority party; instead, his popularity sank like a stone.
Why do these guys want a do-over so badly? Must be the free food and rent.
Whether Obama is aware of presidential history or just blowing smoke, you shouldn't expect much from a second term. If you're voting for Obama simply to keep Romney out--to deny him a chance to get anything done--that's fine. But don't expect Obama to get a liberal agenda--assuming he ever wanted one--through Congress. That ship sailed after the 2010 midterm elections.
Or a grand bargain. That boat was never built.
There are a couple of things Obama could do to mitigate the second-term curse. He could take his case directly to the American people, asking the citizens to pressure the Republican-dominated Congress to push through popular agenda items like forcing banks to write down principal on homes that have lost value since the burst of the housing bubble, tax subsidies for college tuition, and extending benefits to the majority of unemployed Americans, who no longer receive any. Democrats have forgotten this approach: Obama has failed to rally his supporters Bill Clinton, another man who put too much faith inside the Beltway, had the same failing.
Another way Obama and the Democrats could make the most of a second term would be to replicate what the Republicans did with Newt Gingrich's 1994 Contract with America, in other words, to state a list of policies and new laws that voters would effectively be endorsing if Obama wins. After November, Democrats would then be able to argue that they have a direct mandate for their agenda.

The great white shark, a major apex predator made famous by the movie "Jaws," is one of the world's most iconic species capturing an extraordinary amount of public fascination.

(From ScienceDaily) – A new study by scientists from Nova Southeastern University's (NSU) Save Our Seas Shark Research Centre and Cornell University published in final form today in the journal BMC Genomics now undertakes the first large-scale exploration of the great white shark's genetic repertoire, and comes up with unexpected findings.

Eaton's Electrical Sector, a leading manufacturer of components and systems for electrical engineering and automation, joined forces recently with the Electrical Training Trust (ETT) in Northern Ireland to deliver specialist training for apprentice electricians as part of the ETT's Apprentice Week training event. The training was delivered by Eaton Sales Engineer for Northern Ireland, Ivan Brown, to groups of apprentices over two days at the ETT's training centre just outside of Ballymena in County Antrim and provided invaluable advice on electrical and building regulations as well as an important insight onto how a global company operates.
After providing an overview of Eaton and its electrical products, Ivan's presentation went on to explain exactly what several important electrical and building regulations, such as the 17th Edition of the Wiring Regulations, Part M and the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) and Part L2 of the Building Regulations, mean for electrical contractors. He then offered practical advice and solutions for meeting these requirements using the latest electrical protection devices, consumer units, wiring accessories, panelboards and metering products before giving the apprentices an insight into Eaton's Green Building Solutions and an overview of motor control and protection considerations. The presentation finished with a short quiz to enable the apprentices to check their understanding of the presentation and ask any further questions they had.
Commenting on the event, Ivan Brown said: "It was great to be involved with the ETT on a local level and the feedback we had from the apprentices was extremely positive. Being able to speak directly to the next generation of electricians was an invaluable experience for me too. We are hoping to be involved with more of these types of events in the future such as a seminar on energy and efficiency savings."
ETT is a specialist training provider dedicated to supporting and helping individuals, businesses, employers and professionals working in Ireland to improve their knowledge and competence. The Apprentice Week event organised by the ETT provided around 50 apprentices with the chance to hear from a number of leading experts, ranging from Northern Ireland-based companies to worldwide manufacturers – all agreeing to impart their valuable knowledge to the apprentices.
