Today's Polls: By Process Of Elimination, Mccain Needs Pa
October 31, 2008
Is Pennsylvania John McCain's last, best hope?Perhaps it is. But that speaks as much to McCain's problems elsewhere on the map as any success he has had in the Keystone State. Pennsylvania does seem to be narrowing a bit: the Muhlenberg / Morning Call tracker is now down to "only" a 10-point lead for Senator Obama, while a Strategic Vision poll puts the race at O +5. Strategic Vision has had a Republican lean and some very erratic polling in Pennsylvania all year, so our model treats that result as the equivalent of a +7 or a +8.
Irrational Exuberance In Arizona?
October 31, 2008
In contrast to what most candidates do in the closing days of a race, Barack Obama is expanding his list of targets, making an ad buy in Arizona as well as Georgia and North Dakota: YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — In a bold move brimming with confidence, Democrat Barack Obama broadened his advertising campaign on Friday into two once reliably Republican states and further bedeviled rival John McCain by placing a commercial in the Republican presidential nominee's home state of Arizona.Obama's campaign, capitalizing on his vast financial resources and a favorable political climate, announced that it was go
Mccain's Mountain Of A Problem
October 31, 2008
Our model does not make any specific adjustments for early voting, but it is presenting a major problem for John McCain in three states in the Mountain West region, where Barack Obama has a huge fraction of his vote locked in.In the wee hours of this morning, Public Policy Polling released data from Colorado and New Mexico. The toplines are strong for Obama, giving him leads of 10 and 17 points, respectively in those states.
Today's Polls: No, It's (still) Not Tightening
October 30, 2008
Man, I thought I trained you guys better than this.There is a lot of consternation in my e-mail box about two polls. One, from Mason-Dixon, shows John McCain just 4 points down in Pennsylvania. The other, from FOX News, shows McCain down just 3 points nationwide.Let's start with the Pennsylvania result. Mason-Dixon is a pretty strong pollster. So, however, are many others from among the literally dozen or so agencies that have conducted polling within Pennsylvania over the past 72 hours.
Today's Polls: What Mccain Needs To Do / What Mccain Isn't Doing
October 30, 2008
We're getting to you a little bit late tonight, so let's keep this short and to the point...With no fewer than 45 polls released since our last update, covering essentially all of the major swing states, we have a pretty good idea of where this race stands -- a far better idea than you'll get by trying to discern the meaning of John Zogby's divining rod or paying any attention to what you see on the front page of Drudge Report.
The Myth Of The 'lag'
October 29, 2008
One of the most bizarre but oft-repeated myths about polling is the notion that state polls 'lag' behind national polls, and particularly lag behind national trackers. This is largely a relic of a bygone era in which newspapers might commission a poll in their state, and then sit on it for several days until their Sunday editions or some other ebb in the news cycle.
The Black Turnout Surge, Already In Progress
October 28, 2008
According to Michael McDonald's terrific website, there are three states in which early voting has already exceeded its totals from 2004. These are Georgia, where early voting is already at 180 percent of its 2004 total, Louisiana (169 percent), and North Carolina (129 percent).Hmm ... can anybody think of something that those three states have in common?The African-American population share is the key determinant of early voting behavior. In states where there are a lot of black voters, early voting is way, way up.
Today's Polls: Same Old Story
October 28, 2008
Stop me if you've heard this one before. Although the national trackers look slightly stronger for John McCain than they did a couple days ago, Barack Obama once again had an exceptionally good day in the state-level numbers.To review the national polling situation briefly: Gallup and Research 2000 moved toward McCain, and IBD/TIPP moved toward Obama; the other five trackers were essentially flat.
Should Mccain Be Rooting For Bad Weather?

Today's Polls: Obama Steady In Battlegrounds, Running Up Score In Blue States
October 27, 2008
John McCain is making no progress in his pursuit of the White House. Our model now projects Barack Obama to win 351 electoral votes to John McCain's 187, and to win the Electoral College 96.7 percent of the time to McCain's 3.3 percent. Both numbers are unchanged from yesterday.Let's take a look at the polls, and then run through a couple of big-picture themes:Theme #1.

I am writing byte arrays to files on disk using my own
method. I use a DataOutputStream to write to an underlying ByteArrayOutputStream. Once I have collected the whole stream I use the
method of the ByteArrayOutputStream to write these bytes to a FileOutputStream in append mode as follows
// .. Create streams to write bytes
baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
dos = new DataOutputStream(baos);
// .. write byte stream ..
// Create stream to write bytes to file
FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(pathName, true);
// write bytes to file
I obviously place try catches around the appropriate areas and in a finally clause I close all of the streams using
I run my
method about 12,000 times during the course of my entire program. The method is synchronised and no file should be accessed concurrently.
The problem is that I am getting an IOException "Bad File Number" being thrown on average 12 times out of these 12,000 and this is causing problems when reading the files in a subsequent process.
What could be causing these errors? Have I written unstable code and what would be better? If not, then how can I write my code to trap this problem before using the baos.writeTo(os) method above?

Have I written unstable code
Sure sounds like it, if you are getting "Bad File Number" exceptions!
I think (fuzzy memories from the old days programming Unix in C) that the "File Number" in the error refers to the Unix style file descriptors e.g. "0" for stdin, "1" for stdout, "2" for stderr, and so on if you open more of your own.
I think the error can come if you are trying to write to a file descriptor which you previously opened, but have already closed? Or failed to open yet? Or a bad "pathName", so the open failed, etc. etc.

Critical Thinking Notice - This author advises you as no politician would dare. Exercise Critical Thinking (http://bit.ly/ubI6ve) in determining the truthfulness of anything you read or hear. Do not passively accept nor believe anything anyone tells you, including this author... unless and until you verify it yourself with sources you trust and could actively defend your perspective to anyone who might debate you to the contrary of your perspective.
For those among you who are hardcore Republican or Democrat Loyalists and/or Uncle Tom political operatives (http://goo.gl/dd4bU ) , you can move along now. You saw what you wanted to see at the RNC:
Status Quo election year politics.
We're Republicans Blah, Blah, Blah with Democratic Blah, Blah, Blah right on its heals
However, for those of you who fall into any of these following 3 categories, please read on:
1) Those Patriots who put loyalty to the 3 C's (County, Constitution and fellow Citizens) before loyalty to party, please continue reading;
2) Those Patriots that feel an obligation to defend, protect and claw back the liberties and freedoms that others before us fought and died for;
3) Those Patriots who feel an obligation to restore and ensure for their children and future generations, the liberties and freedoms you have enjoyed during your life time;
4) Those who are not mindless sheep, cowering in fear of confrontation, going along to get along.
This analysis is not going to be the same old blah, blah, blah dished out by the two major parties and regurgitated by the major media. We are going to do some outside the box thinking and explore the internet for an uncensored and unscripted perception of reality held by average Americans.
In the course of this article, we are going to talk about 3 major points:
1) Disenfranchisement;
2) Illusion of "Business as usual";
3) American Spring
The major media touched on the issues of RNC rules changes. They attributed these to the Romney campaign. This writer believes the GOP Establishment had as much a hand in this rule change duplicity as did Candidate Romney. This author contends the GOP Establishment's intent with these rule changes was to repress, suppress and oppress a chorus of voices that have risen within the Republican Party. A chorus of voices that challenge the corrupt, duplicitous status quo of the Republican Establishment (and Democrat Establishment)
This new chorus of voices is composed of Ron Paulers, the Liberty Movement and the TEA Party movement. These new voices have recognized the duplicity of the Republican Establishment and aim to "take back the party". The Republican Establishment, quite predictably, likes the status quo and the power it has under the current status quo.
The TAR (Transparency, Accountability and Reform) that these various conservative groups espouse is challenging the status quo and the Power of the Republican Party elite. The GOP Establishment, therefore, is doing whatever it can to maintain their power and the status quo.
But these new conservative groups trying to squeeze into the Republican Tent, represent a major change and quandary fro the Republican Elite. In the past, the rank and file membership was more naïve, malleable and unorganized. The Republican Establishment was taken off guard and frightened by the prospect of an uncertain outcome to the convention. And the GOP Establishment determined it would not risk what it saw as "chaos" . The GOP elite would not allow these new voices demanding TAR a chance to speak, nominate their candidates and/or press their agenda. The GOP Elite determined it would avoid what it saw as potential chaos, by bypassing the troublesome delegates by changing the rules.
And in the angst of the moment the Republican Establishment and Candidate Romney made a huge mistake and missed an opportunity. The GOP Establishment's first counter measures of "stealth" rule changes and pure "Might makes Right", have led to distrust and reduced credibility from those within this new chorus of voices.
The machinations of Candidate Romney and the GOP Establishment have disenfranchised a large portion of TAR supporters and alerted other previously unaware conservatives, of the duplicity of the Republican Establishment.
Whoever was responsible, whether it was Candidate Romney or the Republican Establishment or both, failed to recognize the consequences of and the opportunity presented by a "messy", un-orchestrated convention.
Through the chaos of free speech, free debate and free elections comes reconciliation, understanding, resignation and comradery.
In a messy, spontaneous converntion, everyone gets to feel they that had a chance to say their piece, press their agenda and support their candidate. The chaos of the process gives legitimacy to the result. An unorchestrated convention provides a opportunity for delegates to say to opposing delegates, "I can agree on that issue to this point, or with these caveats" It also gives candidates unlikely to win an opportunity and leverage to negotiate concessions from the winner on behalf of his followers in exchange for withdrawing from the contest. And it gives credibility and legitimacy to the outcome.
When the leadership of any organization ignores its rules, or changes them by stealth, or simply acts with a "Might Makes Right" mentality they reduce or eliminate the chaos at the expense of free speech, free debate and the "opportunity" for delegates (and all Americans) to "come together" during the course of the convention. And, perhaps most importantly, the results do not seem legitimate and many people feel disenfranchised.
Candidate Romney and/or Republican Establishment, you violated the rules of decorum, fairness and democracy when you moved to change the rules to exclude this new chorus of voices.
Candidate Romney and/or Republican Establishment, in so doing you have caused driven the oppressed voices to loudly consider establishing a 3rd party and less loudly, to consider open rebellion.
Not what you want in tight presidential race.
During the convention, this writer heard more of business as usual.
Jobs, economy, religion, gay marriage and abortion.
All the polarizing, emotional issues that Propagandist Edward Bernays would have ordered. (http://youtu.be/qiKMmrG1ZKU )
This author notes that several articles regarding the RNC appeared with titles same or similar to this sentiment or observation:
This past Labor Day weekend, as this writer watched the major media coverage of the convention and the presidential election race, it seemed like a more than usual effort to treat this election as "business as usual" The political pendant talking heads seemed to be everywhere pushing the illusion of "Remain calm, all is well" (http://youtu.be/zDAmPIq29ro )
As this writer listened to Clint talk to an empty chair, he wondered why he was wasting his time listening to the same political dog and pony show that he has seen over and over during the many elections since his 18th birthday.
The Republicans and Democrats make their same old promises to their rank and file membership and then sell their votes to the highest bidder the day after the election. (This writer waited to publish this article during the DNC, to ensure the Democrats did not change their convention formula)
After each election, their respective platforms and party ideals mean nothing to those who were elected or reelected. Once again, they become just meaningless words to convince some segment of the population to listen to them….
The agenda and the talking points were so predictable, that this writer barely made it through Romney's acceptance speech…. It was a close race between the sleep laden eyelids and the off button pushing, channel changing finger.
Especially for you new, young enthusiastic voters, the dirty little secret is that the Conventions are the political equivalent of All Star Wrestling. They are scripted and choreographed to achieve the desired effect. That desired effect being to get rank and file members emotionally invested in voting for their party's candidates.
If you want to know what is really going on in America, turn off the scripted, choreographed pabulum of the major media and pick your spot(s) on the internet.
True chaotic democratic debate blistered the various chat rooms of the various TAR groups previously mention, Ron Pauler's, Liberty Movement, TEA Party Movement and others.
Discussion Topic headings included:
* Death Strategy of the GOP
* The Death of the GOP
* Where do we go now? and
* Presidential Election 2012
Some disenfranchised Ron Pauler's, Liberty folks and TEA Party folks vowed not to vote for Romney and to begin forming a 3rd party.
Some disenfranchised Ron Pauler's, Liberty folks and TEA Party folks said they would hold their nose and vote for Romney because Obama must not be allowed to win. And in the same breath say the day after the election, they would begin forming a 3rd party.
In more extreme groups not affiliated with Ron Pauler's, Liberty folks or TEA Partiers, there were calls for violent revolution. These folks felt positively revolted by the RNC/Romney Cram down on the rules.
And GOP Loyalists, GOP Operatives and others absolutely horrified at the prospect of Obama being reelected, used alternate strategies of cajoling, intimidation and guilt to attempt to persuade the anti-Mittens folks to agree to vote for Romney.
Before more is said, this writer feels compelled to assert his conservative philosophies. For 20+ years this writer has not only voted Republican, but contributed money, phone called, door knocked, marched in parades, attended rallies and put up yard signs. This is the first presidential election in 20+ years that this writer will do none of those things. This writer feels betrayed by the corrupt incumbent ruling class elite.
Finally, in this original statement of this writer, If the GOP Establishment would abide by the platform and adhere to conservative principles, the Democrat party would be hard pressed to get 25% of the vote.
This writer's conservative credentials garishly displayed, the attack on the GOP Establishment begins in earnest.
The Republicans often complain that Big Union Bosses to not represent nor act in the best interests of their rank and file membership.
The truth be known the Establishment of both the Republican and Democrat Parties do not respect, represent nor act in the best interests of their respective rank and file members.
These previous and following points were some of the sentiments expressed and heard in these unfiltered chaotic chat rooms of unscripted, democratic exchange.
Fellow Americans, we cannot proceed with politics and Government as usual.
The present state of the economy and the country speaks to the failure of both alleged major political parties.
In 20 years the corrupt, incumbent ruling class has brought us from being the undisputed super power of the world to the brink of collapse.
The County cannot afford to be led by anyone who thinks business as usual is an option… Tough Choices must be made now.
Our national debt exceeds our GDP. We stand at about 105% of GDP, Greece was at 120% when its problems became unable to be concealed.
The dollar is at risk of collapse or, at least, losing its status as the World Reserve Currency.
We have exported much of our manufacturing and the jobs that go with it.
Our Judiciary and Government are systemically corrupt, with no law enforcement able or willing to address the corruption.
Our Liberty exists in name and on paper only. If you dare to criticize the government and are even remotely successful, they punish you. They black list your business. They cost you your job. The Courts fix cases against you. They withhold your government benefits.
This writer posted a list of issues in these various internet chat rooms and asked, what has being Republican done for you with regard to these issues
Bank Bailouts
Other Bailouts
Nationalized Healthcare
Campaign Finance Reform
Balanced Budgets
Fiscal Responsibility and Transparency
Immigration (Bush 1 said amnesty once, build fence, never again)
Government Corruption
Judicial Corruption
Internet Privacy
No Internet Taxation
Term Limits
When most conservatives looked at this list, some made excuses, some refused to believe… but a light of understanding went on in the minds of most of the readers.
Many harsh words and strong feelings were found with the internet chat rooms. Major Media did not cover them because they also benefit from the status quo.
The battle truly is the status quo loyalists vs. WE THE PEOPLE. There is a growing number of citizens who speak openly of political and violent revolution. These are not radical elements. These are true patriots who are now wide awake and call on their fellow American to become Wide Awake.
We live in a Representative Republic in name only. In reality, various methods of oppression cause rank and file Americans to live under tyranny. Just because our government is particularly adept at covert as opposed to overt methods of repression, does not mean we are free.
Where did the money from the bailouts and the stimulus go? Why does government and judicial corruption run rampant? Why can the government now jail belligerents indefinitely without access to a lawyer? Why does our government continue to print worthless money rather than balance the budget?
When will make you a stand?
All over the world, civilian populations are casting off the tyranny that oppresses them, in spite of great odds.
This article is about the 66% of Americans that fall within the middle of the political spectrum. WE the 66% (http://shar.es/bdj7S ) need to unite against the corrupt, incumbent ruling class.
In this year of crisis, there should only be three issues discussed and debated:
1) Balance the Budget;
2) Government Corruption;
3) Judicial Corruption.
Address these 3 issues and all of America's other pressing issues will be mitigated or become far more manageable.
My fellow American men, are you sheep? Or does the thirst and demand for liberty course through your veins?
Do not dare to call yourself men, if you are willing to let yourselves, your family and your fellow citizens live under the corrupt tyranny our Government has become.
Please join us in casting of the tyranny that surrounds us.
Those were my thoughts.

How to loose it
my hubby is a movie buff and I had all theses DVD's Cluttered up on a shelf collection dust. I went to the Dollar Store and purchased a couple CD Cases for $5.00 that holds like 96. I took the movies out of the DVD cases and placed them in the CD case and threw the empty DVD cases out now the DVD's are all together and takes up a fraction of the space.
I do not deprive myself from eating. I just make the right food choices and eat everything in moderation :) This way, I get to lose weight simply by eating the right food :)
RX glass start at $8.00!! i've used them 4x and they're awesome!!

Last month, many residents who found jobs did so within the professional and business services sector, an employment category in which temporary jobs are the most common.
Between February and March, that sector took on 400 additional workers, according to employment data released today by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry.
In the past 12 months, that sector added 700 jobs overall, growth that has ranked that category among the largest job's producers next to the service industries.
Overall, in March, more people across York County reported having jobs than being out of work, sending the unemployment rate two-tenths of percentage point to 5.8 percent, according to state's department of labor & industry.
Between March and February, 600 people joined the local labor force. Of those, 212,900 workers had jobs while 13,200 people counted themselves among the unemployed, according to the department's data.
A closer look at the numbers shows that 900 people joined the ranks of the employed, while the unemployed sector lost 200 people.
To be considered unemployed, a person must have been actively looking for work in the past 30 days, according to the department.

A few pre-draft thoughts before the Browns re-enact the movie Draft Day …
* We've confirmed that former Browns CEO Joe Banner commissioned an analytics study on the 2014 quarterback draft class and it concluded that Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater had the best chance of NFL success. The story was first reported by Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports.com. 1. I assigned Bridgewater to the Browns at No. 26 in my final mock draft before learning of that study. I have heard GM Ray Farmer staunchly and sincerely defend Bridgewater after his poor pro day. I believe Bridgewater's intangible attributes fall in line with the team's new mantra of "play like a Brown." 2.The problem with analytics is they don't look into the soul of a player and can't measure a player's heart. Football is a people business. To reduce it to raw data is counter-productive, in my opinion.
* LaCanfora also is keeping alive the trade rumor involving the Browns and Redskins backup Kirk Cousins. I simply can't understand the infatuation with Cousins. If Kyle Shanahan needs a quarterback familiar with his offense to run it, then he's not much of a teacher and coach. Cousins was taken by the Redskins in the fourth round the year they ransomed their future by trading away three No. 1 picks and No. 2 for the ability to draft Robert Griffin 3. At the time, some hailed the move as "brilliant." The word in Washington was that Kyle, not his father, Mike, who was the head coach at the time, really liked Cousins. Turns out, of course, that Cousins has won one game in his short career – against the Browns in Pat Shurmur's turning-point game. Now after a coaching change, the Redskins need to replenish their roster and are desperate for draft picks. It would be ironic if the Browns helped bail them out because the Redskins out-bid the Browns for RG3.
* Judging from reaction I've received and heard, Browns fans refuse to accept that the Browns may have no interest in Johnny Manziel. Throughout the day, they've held out hope that my report – and those of national insiders – that the Browns will not draft Manziel is merely a smokescreen. I will say this: If the Browns take Manziel, I will be the most shocked person in the world.
* Browns coach Mike Pettine and defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil had dinner Wednesday night with ESPN's Sal Paolantonio. The restaurant: Johnny's Bar. And that, I believe, is the last association we'll hear of the Browns and Johnny.
* I still believe a trade down from No. 4 is the preferred option for the Browns. But I'm not positive they would make the trade with Buffalo linebacker Khalil Mack on the board.
* I think they would make the trade with Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins on the board.
* If the Browns are unable to trade down from No. 4, I think they would ramp up efforts to trade up from No. 26. If there is national rumbling during the night of the Browns angling to move up, the automatic assumption will be they are targeting a quarterback. I still believe the target would be a cornerback.

Suffer the Little Children
In United States v. Delmarle, 99 F.3d 80 (2d Cir. 1996), the circuit held that it was within the district court's discretion to apply the guideline enhancement for possessing child pornography that depicted sadistic or masochistic conduct where the image showed a "young child [subject] to a sexual act that would have to be painful."
Here, the defendant challenged the imposition of that same enhancement. He argued that the district court's findings were inadequate because the court did not specifically use the word "sadistic" in describing the images found in his computer. The circuit held that, under Delmarle, as long as the district court finds that "(1) an image depicts sexual activity involving a minor and (2) the depicted activity would have caused pain to the minor," the findings are adequate. Since the district court made those findings here, the circuit affirmed.

CAMPAIGN for Democracy, Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Mr. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, and former Imo State Deputy Governor Ada Okwuonu have pointed the way forward for credible elections in the country.
In their congratulatory messages on Barrack Obama's victory in Tuesday's US presidential election, they concluded that Nigeria must learn from the poll for true democracy to thrive in the country.
In a statement by its President, Dr. Joe Oke-Odumakin, on Wednesday, the CD urged Nigerian voters to only vote for candidates with good programmes.
It said, "The Nigerian electorate too must learn from their American counterparts who listened to the programmes of the candidates and made informed choices without the influence of cash,recharge cards or kerosene."
Ikuforiji, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Rotimi Adebayo, praised Americans for re-electing Obama.
He said, "It is indeed a time for celebration for all democrats across the world, particularly here in Nigeria, the African continent, and the world at large because, there is a lot of lessons for us all to learn from the brilliant example of the US."
Some of the Speaker's colleagues in the House urged Nigerians to take their own cue from the election in order to have a credible poll in 2015.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Mr. Lawrence Ayeni, who represents Oshodi Isolo II, said Nigeria must develop and shape its political culture in order to have credible elections in the future.
Okwuonu, who spoke with NAN in Enugu, appealed to politicians to stop wasting money on litigation when defeated at elections.
She said, "The margin of winning is not much but Romney immediately conceded, therefore, it is a lesson that we should stop going to court when somebody wins, especially when the person has won in a very big margin."

Nonprofit Group Receives Grant from Hogg Foundation to Promote Mental Health of Texas Children in Child Care
November 25, 2008
AUSTIN – The Texas Association for Infant Mental Health was awarded a $93,168 grant from the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health to promote changes in Texas child care licensing standards that will support healthy social and emotional development and mental wellness of infants and toddlers in child care.
The association is one of six Texas-based organizations that received a total of $456,565 in grants from the Hogg Foundation in November. The foundation awarded the grants to support timely, meaningful projects that address key issues related to mental health and are likely to improve mental health policies affecting Texas residents.
"The foundation is continuing our longstanding practice of funding projects to address important and relevant mental health issues that directly affect the people of Texas," said Dr. Octavio N. Martinez Jr., executive director of the foundation. "The grants also will help build interest in and capacity for mental health policy research and development work among nonprofit agencies, academic institutions and government agencies in Texas."
More than half of the nation's infants and toddlers are enrolled in child care. The exact number in Texas is unknown, although Texas had 5,341 licensed child care centers with the capacity to serve more than 80,000 infants under the age of 18 months in 2007, according to the association.
"The most important factor in the healthy development of children under three is a consistent, nurturing relationship with a caring adult. Current licensing standards undermine these relationships," said Susan Craven, executive director of the association. "The foundation's grant will enable us to advocate for policies that support the mental and emotional health of infants and toddlers in child care."
Current child care standards in Texas allow for high child-to-staff ratios for children 11 months and older, and large group sizes that inhibit secure, consistent and responsive relationships between children and caregivers. Children may be moved suddenly from one group to another without adequate emotional preparation. And caregivers must have only a high school degree or equivalent and just eight hours of pre-service training, according to Craven.
The association will collaborate with the Texas Association for Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies to propose changes to the current standards. Their goals are to lower child-to-staff ratios and group sizes for children under the age of three, require staff training on responsive care-giving and young children's social-emotional development, and promote continuity of care by staff to foster children's attachment, trust and sense of security.
The associations will carry out a three-tiered process that includes gathering information, preparing and distributing a policy paper, and building a coalition of support to promote change.
The project's timing will coincide with a state agency review of Texas child care licensing standards that occurs every six years, Craven said, presenting a unique opportunity to advocate for policy changes that promote infant mental health.
"This grant exemplifies how important it is to address all aspects of our children's development. Texas should ensure that parents are leaving their infants and toddlers in child care facilities that understand and will enhance the mental well-being of their youngest clients," Martinez said.
The Hogg Foundation was founded in 1940 by Miss Ima Hogg, daughter of former Texas Governor James Stephen Hogg, to promote improved mental health for the people of Texas. The foundation's grants and programs support mental health consumer services, research, policy analysis and public education projects in Texas. The foundation is part of the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement at The University of Texas at Austin.

When it comes to diet and wellness, there's no question that gluten-free products are all the rage. From gluten-free bread to beer, it seems like everyone—even people without gluten sensitivities—is opting out. So it comes as no surprise the beauty industry's getting in on the craze too. Apparently gluten is quite common in cosmetics, and while the negative effects are seen mostly through diet, it's definitely something to think about. But worry not, the products on this list are all gluten-free and sure to become your favorites—no matter your stance.
Gluten-Free Beauty Products Are a Real Thing

- 8 of 20
Nude's line of skincare is gluten-free, making it a great time to jump on the oil face wash bandwagon with their Perfect Cleansing Oil Face & Eyes ($36).

Hourglass' new Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation ($55) melts into skin, leaving a flawless, powdery finish—all without the help of wheat.
- 10 of 20

Enzymatic reaction of: ethylnitronate monooxygenase
EC Number: 184.108.40.206
ethylnitronate + oxygen <=> acetaldehyde + nitrite + [unspecified degradation products]
The reaction direction shown, that is, A + B ↔ C + D versus C + D ↔ A + B, is in accordance with the direction in which it was curated.
The reaction is physiologically favored in the direction shown.
Alternative Substrates for ethylnitronate: 3-nitro-2-pentanol [Kido76 ] , 2-nitropropane [Kido76 ]
In Pathways: alkylnitronates degradation
Nitronate monooxygenase (formerly 2-nitropropane dioxygenase, EC 220.127.116.11) from Williopsis saturnus var. mrakii (Hansenula mrakii) catalyzes the oxygenative denitrification anionic nitroalkanes [Tchorzewski94, Kido76]. ethylnitronate is the anionic form of the neutral nitroalkane nitroethane (reviewed in [Gadda09]).
A Km value of 1.61 mM was determined for anionic 2-nitropropane. The enzyme was inhibited by superoxide dismutases from various species, cytochrome c, and NADH, reflecting the participation of superoxide in the reaction mechanism. This was confirmed by ESR spectroscopy. [Kido84].
Kinetic studies suggested evidence for an anion binding pocket in the enzyme that interacts with the nitro group of the substrate, providing key determinants for substrate binding and recognition. When ethylnitronate was used as substrate, the enzyme was competitively inhibited by the monovalent inorganic ions and aldehydes indicated here [Francis09].
Cofactors or Prosthetic Groups: FAD [Kido76]
Inhibitors (Competitive): pentanal [Francis09] , hexanal [Francis09] , propanal [Francis09] , butanal [Francis09] , nitrate [Francis09] , iodide [Francis09] , chloride [Francis09] , bromide [Francis09] , nitrite [Francis09] , fluoride [Francis09]
Inhibitors (Noncompetitive): nitromethane [Kido76]
Inhibitors (Unknown Mechanism): (R)-adrenaline [Kido84] , NADH [Kido84] , L-dithiothreitol [Kido84] , glutathione [Kido84] , nitroblue tetrazolium [Kido84] , NADPH [Kido78] , tiron [Kido78] , catechol [Kido78] , pyrogallol [Kido78] , phloroglucinol [Kido78] , 1-naphthol [Kido78] , serotonin [Kido78] , 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan [Kido78] , resorcinol [Kido78] , benzene-1,4-diol [Kido78] , 1,2,4-benzenetriol [Kido78] , 2-naphthol [Kido78] , thiophenol [Kido78] , L-cysteine [Kido76] , p-chloromercuribenzoate [Kido76] , N-ethylmaleimide [Kido76] , iodoacetate [Kido76] , sulfite [Kido76]

Five Holiday Marketing Tips to Help your Small Business Stay Profitable & Top of Mind this Year!
Comments welcome on this page. See Rules of Conduct.
Five Holiday Marketing Tips to Help your Small Business Stay Profitable & Top of Mind this Year!
Whether your business depends on the fall/winter holiday season for a substantial part of your annual revenues or you find it to be a slow time of year - remaining engaged and connected with your prospect and customer base is never more critical than now. And that means embracing the holiday season as part of your marketing strategy.
While sending holiday greetings are important, you may want to consider diversifying your online and offline marketing tactics to ensure your business or non-profit remains relevant and top of mind throughout the season and into the new year - with a healthy bottom line to boot.
Here are some marketing options to consider as part of your small business holiday toolkit.
1. Promotions, Incentives and Giveaways - That Needn't Break the Bank
Promotions and incentives needn't be restricted to the mall and Main Street. Whatever your business or industry
there is usually a season-appropriate discount, bundle, or giveaway that you can offer your customers.
When determining your offer, think about the season and what you can do to help your customers get through the stress and expense of the holidays - then create a compelling reason for them to act now. For example rather than simply discounting your services, offer a packaged offering: "Buy X service now and we'll provide Y for free in the new year."
Reducing your customer's burden can even be achieved with the instant gratification of a giveaway. These needn't be expensive. Even something as simple as offering a free holiday cookie or apple cider when they visit your store/business location can make you stand out. If you are a freelancer, you will know the cash flow pain that comes at this time of year. Nevertheless, don't be afraid to position your services for the holiday season and offer your clients
special incentives, too. Find out what their holiday business plans are and offer them a "holiday special". This could be a value rate for bundled services or a repeatable cookie-cutter project that you can offer all your clients to help them out during the holidays. For example a logo/Web site festive re-design or fixed price marketing campaign would be appropriate.
2. Get your Web Site Ready for the Holidays
If you have an online presence or operate an online business here are some simple ideas for prepping your site for the season:
Decorate your Web Site - It's a simple, often overlooked, tactic that adds a human touch to your operations and makes online shopping that much warmer and inviting for the consumer. A quick approach is to take a leaf out of Google's book, and pay a graphic designer to decorate your logo; it won't cost much and can be reused each year.
Don't forget Social Media - Consider customizing your Twitter page and Facebook logo for the holidays too.
Check that all of your online merchant tools are working properly. There is no surer way to lose a customer than broken links.
3. Tie Holiday Themes into Your Sales Strategy
This is an inventive yet simple tip featured in this *Small Business Trends article - "*12 Low-Cost Marketing Ideas for the Ho-Ho-Ho-lidays!". The author, Ivana Taylor, suggests creating a "12 days of your product" by featuring a product or service every day or every week during the holidays. Whether you sell to consumers or business customers this is a great themed way to raise awareness of the diversity of your offerings and shift extra stock!
4. Don't Forget to use Email - Properly!
While email is generally overused it is still an inexpensive and easy-to-implement option for maintaining contact with existing customers. To be effective, do remember that mass email marketing should only be used to communicate with those you have already done business with or who have expressed an interest in your business or services and have asked to receive email from you - otherwise known as permission marketing.
Here are some tips for using effective email marketing to support your holiday marketing efforts:
Keep the e-mail short, sweet and with direct links to your promotional offers rather than the home page - You want to make the process as easy as possible for your customers.
Clearly state the intent of the email in the subject line - For example, "Thank You for Your Business in 2009 - Here's a Special Offer Just for You".
Segment your customers according to their buying habits - Most commercially available email list management programs have a variety of tools that can help you make sure your readers only get messages that are relevant to them.
Be festive in your design - It's the holidays after all!
Follow the rules of the road - Don't forget that online marketing is regulated, so whatever tactics you employ be sure to follow government guidelines that apply to list management, SPAM, and other rules of the road.
5. Beef up your Customer Support
Before you start any new holiday marketing venture, it's absolutely vital that yourcustomer support processes operate efficiently. Proactive measures such as email marketing campaigns and displaying customer reviews on your Web site can help increase your consumer trust. But, if the staff and infrastructure are not in place, you're wasting your time. Consider hiring a few temporary holiday staff to help you keep things running smoothly.
Be sure to comply with employment and labor laws if you do so, read more about these from Business.gov here.

Among the new features in version 2.5 are support for accelerometers, multi-touch gestures, cameras and microphones, GPS data, and hardware acceleration. Most of these things are pretty common on mobile devices nowadays so it�s no surprise the new version of Air arrives with such upgrades. To support the new release, Adobe also announced a marketplace for developers to easily distribute and sell their apps on stores across different devices.�
Basically Adobe InMarket will let developers create a single application that runs on multiple devices with only a few tweaks, also allowing to publish and manage them across partner stores through a centralized portal. It seems Adobe is still negotiating with various app store partners, so the only one it�s announcing right now is Intel AppUp, but Android and other platforms are likely to follow � and Apple�s iOS probably will not.

95 No start issue
Hi all new here and starting off with a problem.
Vehicle is a 95 F350 CC 7.3 AUTO 4x4 with 235,000 miles
I just got the vehicle this past week and it ran great, has lots of power, shifts well, and started normally in about 3 revolutions. That is until yesterday. It has been cold here in Clarksville the past few days, yet the truck hasn't given me any real problems starting in the 20 and below weather. Yesterday as I was driving going up a hill the truck started to just stumble and sputter, maxing out at about 25 mph. The truck was at operating temps when this happened. I pulled over and tried to rev it in neutral to no avail. Turned it off went to restart it and after about 20 minutes of on and off cranking she fired back up and sounded good. Drove another 1/2 mile and it did the same thing. This time I was able to coast into a parking lot.
Long story short I have not been able to get her to restart since that point in time. I got it towed home with my roadside assistance and started looking at trouble shooting it. Looked all over online and saw probable causes being CPS #1 and a lot of mention about the IPR. Since I was planning on replacing the hoses around the fuel bowl this weekend anyway I grabbed an IPR and CPS from Oreilly's (BWD) and swapped them out. I replaced the IPR 1 because it was easier to do with the fuel filter bowl out and the factory one was starting to rust out. I now know the Ford/IH CPS are the ones to get and am going to try to pick one up today and see if that helps. I also found a burnt GPR so replaced that, and changed the oil/filter and fuel filter. While under the hood I checked the wiring connectors going into the valve covers and nothing seemed burnt.
I am still getting the same issues after changing those items. It will crank and crank, sound like it wants to fire, puff out some white fuel smoke each time it tries to fire and that is as far as it gets.
I also tried with the IPC unplugged and no change. Also checked fuse 22 and my WTS light is illuminating as normal.
I'm trying to get this up and running before the next storm hits here next Tuesday. Any ideas as to what else it could be?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

can u check fuel pressure, also do u have fuel in valley under turbo. also take plug out on hpop and see if has oil in side, but be careful removing the plug. if it is tight tap allen wrench with a small hammer. if low fill it with oil and see if it starts.
Since it's new to you i'd do/check the following. If you're already doing the fuel bowl then you'll get alot done. But...
Fuel bowl clean out and o-rings
Banjo bolts on pump
EBP tube clean out and sensor
IPR sensor(check)
Oil change, no additives
Check turbo shaft/fins for play and chips
T-stat, what's your vehicles temp? OR what letter is it on?
and that's what I can think of for now, i'm sure others will chime in and i've forgotten something. Not insulting your intelligence, it's just some things i've done to mine over the years that I should have done right away.
It seems I read somewhere the 95 is prone to have drain back issue in the hpop . You can check the level of the reservoir up top with an allen head I think .
Just a thought .
Little update guys. Got the truck running again. I replaced the IPR as the old one was rusted. Got a new ford CPS and she started right up after it primed the truck. Took it for a drive and it ran great. Much smoother idle, much more responsive.
After this I did noticed that now the truck would only pull fuel from the rear tank, before all this it read and pulled out of both tanks. Now it will only pull/read out of the rear tank. No big deal figured its either the switch or the fuel tank selector valve.
Went to get fuel today and double checked that the front take wasn't taking any more fuel, and topped off the rear tank. Went to restart the truck and get a real rough idle, go to pull out of the station and it loses power and bogs down all over again eventually stalling. I got to the parking lot across the street and got it started again, still ran rough tried to pull forward and had no power. Got out and unplugged the ICP, found oil in the plug need to order a new one. Started it and it ran and seemed to be ok, went to drive and it seemed fine but was shifting really firm, than it did it all over again. Finally said screw it and had it towed home. While waiting on the tow I was able to get it started and idling, It idled fine for an hour until the truck got there. When the truck got there I was able to pull it up on the flat bed just fine, this was with the ICP connected.
Now I'm wondering if the EBVP could be shutting randomly and causing the issue. Also could a bad ICP cause it to loose power and stall out? Any idea if the no longer switching tanks could be a related issue?
Thanks for the help everybody
edit: I also pulled the IDM and checked it for water and had no sloshing noises or anything
2nd you kinda answered your own question about the icp its bad
3rd keep a cps and tools to change it in the truck at all times, also driving for a time with icp unpluged aint bad (not good but wont hurt it either).
check fuel pressure while off, pump in the one tank could be bad.
Ordered a new IPC Last night. Hopefully that fixes it
ICP WILL cause the hard shifting. Mine would shift hard, bog, erratic idle, and loss of power. Changed ICP and now it's good to go. If you need help let me know, I got mine changed out in 45 minutes.
The question though will an ICP cause the truck to shut off? And with it unplugged it still died after a mile or so. I ordered two more CPS to have on hand this morning as well. I am not sure if yesterday may have been because after realizing the rear tank was the one pulling fuel I switched to the rear tank on the switch. Wonder if it caused the selector valve to move some and cause a partial loss of fuel and starved the fuel bowl, after I got it home I flipped it back to front tank and let it run for almost 2 hours and had no issues.
I had a hard time with it shutting off and losing power and surging and no pedal response. That was the last straw for me and I replaced the ICP and all is good now. I've been keeping an eye on my boost gauge and now I get fuel all through the rpm range and it hits alot sooner than before. My truck is tuned and it has never run this good until the ICP was changed out.

Muscle Strain
Muscle Strain Overview
Muscle strain is injury to muscle as a result of strenuous activity. Almost anyone can put undue tension on muscles during the course of normal daily activities, with sudden, quick heavy lifting, during sports, or while performing work tasks. Muscle strain is sometimes referred to as muscle pull. A severe muscle strain can result in a muscle tear. The tearing of the muscle can also damage small blood vessels, causing local bleeding (with or without bruising) and pain (caused by irritation of the nerve endings in the area). Of note, a sprain, in contrast to a strain, is an injury to ligaments.

Greetings. I understand there is a proposal to add HSL as an alternative method of specifying colors in style sheets. I am writing to express my strong support for this proposal. As a web page designer and user of web design tools, I find the hex codes required for RGB to be cryptic and not memorable. HSL, on the other hand, makes sense from the perspective of how people think about color. Thanks for your consideration.

Angling community project left without storage space
Posted: January 17, 2014|
A community project aimed at helping young people through angling is at a lose end.
Angling For Your Development is currently looking for a new storage unit for equipment after having to move from Big Yellow Storage in Eastern Avenue.
Dale Elias, 29, from Quedgeley, helps run the group which aims to engage young people through the sport, providing children within the local community with positive choices.
He said: "We stored our equipment in their storage for free over the past 12 months because they wanted to help us out because we were a youth project. We only paid for the insurance which cost us £120.
"But we got a letter from the manager to say we had to move it all last week because they needed the space."
Equipment included fishing rods, poles and reels, which is now being stored between the 10 members of staff.
Dale added: "We have split the equipment between us now, but it makes it difficult as we have to go and collect the item from each other's house if we need to use. We need to find a central location."
The project also provides community resources and a natural environment for local schools and youth organisations to carry out wild life work including pond dipping.
Dale said: "We were founded and started by a police officer from Gloucestershire Constabulary. Since then it has grown and we have had nothing but positive interest in the group.
"Over the past two years we have all put in a lot of time, work and effort to get the project going. We have managed to secure a lake for use for free with help and full backing from the wildlife trust, environment agency."
A spokesman from The Big Yellow Storage Company said: "As a company we are committed to helping local and national charities and do so on a rotational system.
"On January 10 last year we agreed to provide a storage room to Angling For Your Development with free storage rental for a period of one year worth £806. It was discussed at the time that following this 12-month period we would rotate and offer this space to another local charity who would also benefit from our support. After writing to the group to inform that the year agreement was coming to an end we offered the opportunity to maintain the storage room at a discounted rate which they declined.
"We are now working with Active Connections Training & Development Ltd who will be offered the same deal of free storage for the next 12 months."

University of Nebraska-Lincoln officials say students will save about $85 a semester if the university transfers health center control to a private contractor.
In September, Chancellor Harvey Perlman announced plans to seek a private operator to build and operate a new University Health Center. On Tuesday he answered students' questions while offering an update on the negotiations with Bryan Health.
Bryan Health submitted the only bid, proposing to spend $14.4 million to build a 40,625-square-foot center.
A survey related to the proposal will be included on the ballot for the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska on March 6, and the NU Board of Regents is scheduled to vote on the privatization proposal on March 15.

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
Hand-in-hand with Tyler James, a fellow singer whom she dated in 2003, Amy seemed to have moved on from ex husband Blake
Photo: © PA
Putting a stop to reports of a reconciliation with ex husband Blake Fielder-Civil, Amy Winehouse enjoyed a date with a former flame on Thursday.
Her turbulent marriage ended earlier this year, but claims had surfaced in the press of secret trysts between them.
Blake appeared to be forgotten, though, as the bee-hived diva, looking relatively healthy and happy, spent the evening with singer Tyler James, once her labelmate at Island Records.
The pair, who dated back in 2003, seemed to have rekindled their relationship leaving a London restaurant hand-in-hand after a quiet dinner.
When a fan requested a kiss she explained politely: "Sorry, I'm with my boyfriend".
Tyler then accompanied her to the Jazz After Dark venue where she performed a note-perfect gig.
In contrast to Amy's chaotic appearance at the Saint Lucia jazz festival when she slurred her words and fell on stage, this was the second concert this week to go off without a hitch.
On Tuesday, the jazz chanteuse appeared at a charity fundraiser for terminally ill children, just round the corner from her Barnet home.
She surprised guests at the Rays Of Sunshine event with an impeccable five-song set.

FORESTVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- A man was arrested on Tuesday in the murder of Charles Robert Thompson last Friday.
The suspect is identified as 25-year-old Sean Prince Hallowell of the 2500 block of Timbercrest Drive in Forestville, Md, police say.
According to Police, officers were called to a firehouse last Friday in the 1400 block of Ritchie Marlboro Road for a shooting. Once they arrived, police say they found Thompson suffering from a gunshot wound. Officials say he was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
After an investigation, police learned that the scene of the shooting was actually the 2600 block of Timbercrest Drive in Forestville. After the shooting, police say that Hallowell drove Thompson to the firehouse and then fled the area.
Police say Hallowell is charged with first degree murder and is being held at the Department of Corrections on a no bond status.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Prince George's County Police Department's Homicide Unit at 301-772-4925.
