Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (WMF) is a not-for-profit Florida corporation with its principle place of business in San Francisco, California. It operates several online collaborative wiki projects including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikimedia Commons, Wikispecies, Wikinews, Wikiversity, Wikimedia Incubator, Meta-Wiki, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, and owns the now-defunct Nupedia online encyclopedia.
The creation of the foundation was officially announced on June 20, 2003, by the atheist and Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales,[1] who had been operating Wikipedia within his adult entertainment company Bomis.[2] At the time, Wikipedia was operating out of Bomis' offices in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The name "Wikimedia" was coined by American author Sheldon Rampton in a post to the English mailing list in March 2003.[3] At the start, Wales transferred ownership of all Wikipedia, Wiktionary and Nupedia domain names to Wikimedia along with the copyrights for all materials related to these projects that were created by Bomis employees or Wales himself. The computer equipment used to run all the Wikimedia projects was also donated by Wales to the foundation, which also acquired the domain names "wikimedia.org" and "wikimediafoundation.org".
In April 2005, the US Internal Revenue Service determined that the foundation was an educational foundation in the category "Adult, Continuing Education", making all contributions to the foundation tax-deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
On September 25, 2007, the foundation's board decided to move to the San Francisco Bay Area. The Board said its major reasons for choosing San Francisco were proximity to like-minded organizations and potential partners as well as cheaper and more convenient international travel than is available from St. Petersburg, Florida.[4][5][6]
For a more detailed treatment, see Wikia.
In January 2004, Jimmy Wales appointed his business partners Tim Shell and Michael E. Davis to the foundation's board. In June 2004, an election was held for two user representative board members. Following one month of campaigning and two weeks of online voting, Angela Beesley and Florence Nibart-Devouard were elected to join the board. In late 2004, Wales and Beesley launched a startup company, Wikia, affiliated with neither Wikimedia nor Bomis, except for their presence as principals/trustees. In July 2005, Beesley and Nibart-Devouard were re-elected to the board. On July 1, 2006, Beesley resigned from the board effective upon election of her successor, expressing concern about "certain events and tendencies that have arisen within the organization since the start of this year," but stating her intent to continue to participate in the Wikimedia projects, and in the formation of an Australian chapter. A special election was held in September to finish Beesley's term, ending with the mid-2007 election. Erik Möller won the election. Möller was subsequently hired as Deputy Executive Director of the WMF. On December 8, 2006, the board expanded to seven people with the appointments of Kat Walsh and Oscar van Dillen. Walsh was elected Chair of the board in July 2012.
Wales and Beesley continued to develop Wikia as a for-profit alternative to the WMF projects, and some critics allege that by deleting very specialized articles and content from Wikipedia, a core team was pushing people to develop specialized wikis on Wikia. When Wikipedia community voted 61-39% percent to treat all links to other sites equally by removing nofollow (Google-ignored) tags for all of them, the Wikipedia co-founder overruled this decision and Wikipedia now favors Wikia in its treatment of nofollow tags.[7][8] Michael E. Davis, a former business partner of Wales who served for years as a founding member of the WMF board and was MWF's Treasurer, was named Treasurer and Secretary of Wikia in January 2006. In January 2009, Wikia subleased two conference rooms to the WMF.
Wales continues as a voting member of the WMF Board and serves as its spokesperson.
In 2006, Wikia received a major round of venture capital funding from Amazon.[9] Although a large number of payment processors are available, as of 2013, the WMF uses Amazon to process donation payments.[10]
Doran scandal
In January 2007, Carolyn Doran was named chief operating officer and Sandy Ordonez joined as head of communications.[11] Doran began working at WMF as a part-time bookkeeper in 2006 after being sent by a temporary agency. Doran later left the foundation in July 2007, and Sue Gardner was hired as consultant and special advisor (later becoming the Chief Executive Officer). It was later disclosed[12] that Doran was a convicted felon, with a DUI arrest during her tenure at the foundation and a substantial criminal history, including shooting her boyfriend and complicity in credit card forgery.[13] Her departure from the organization was cited as one of the reasons the foundation took about seven months to release its fiscal 2007 financial audit.[14]
Site shut downs
As a section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, the foundation must not be "carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting, to influence legislation (except as otherwise provided in subsection (h)), and which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office."[15] However, WMF has repeatedly used shutting down its website or threatening to shut down its website as a tactic to pressure specific legislative outcomes.
On October 4, 2011, the WMF servers were reprogramed to hide the contents of the Italian langauge version of Wikipedia were hidden, as a protest against paragraph 29 of the "DDL intercettazioni" (Wiretapping Bill).[16] The proposed bill would empower anyone who believes themselves to have been attacked by the content of a web site to enforce publication of a reply, uneditable and uncommented, on the same web site, within 48 hours and without any prior evaluation of the claim by a judge or to face a €12,000 fine.
On October 4 through 6, 2011, the WMF redirected all pages on the Italian language version of Wikipedia redirected to a statement opposing the proposed legislation.[17] This was true for all users, not just those IP addresses based in Italy. On October 7, the Italian Wikipedia pages were again available, but a notice about the proposed legislation was still displayed at the top of pages.
The success of the Italian shut down whetted the appetite of people seeking to influence legislation in the United States. In December 2011, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales discussed a possible coordinated blackout by Wikipedia and other United States websites to protest anti-piracy two bills pending before the United States Congress: SOPA and PIPA. After committing the WMF to join a larger boycott, Wales initiated discussion with editors about his plan. Editors and others[18] debated the alternatives of completely interrupting service for one or more days, or alternatively presenting site visitors with a blanked page directing them to further information before permitting them to complete searches.[19][20] On January 16, the Wikimedia Foundation announced that the English-language Wikipedia would be blacked out for 24 hours on January 18.[21] The Simple English Wikipedia voted to continue full service and did not join the blackout.[22] Many editors complained that the blackout decision was not made in a democratic fashion and undercut Wikipedia's objectivity and non-political mission.[23]
WMF's fundraising and expenses have grown at a very rapid rate. Some critics claim that WMF is taking in money faster than it can spend wisely.[24]
|Total Support and Revenue
|Total Expenses
|Increase in Net Assets
|Net Assets at End of Year
|$34,800,000 (prelim.)
|$27,200,000 (prelim.)
|$7,600,000 (estim.)
|$31,800,000 (estim.)
If the WMF has $31 million in the bank, those funds could produce (at 4%) $1,240,000 in annual income, which is more than enough to fund the Wikipedia web servers in perpetuity. So, people are questioning the need for the WMF's annual fund raising campaign.
Dispersed accountability
A major factor in preventing accountability is that the fundraising conducted on the Wikipedia website links to a number of different solicitation pages depending on the nationality of the donor. Although the WMF collects the funds from donors located in the United States and other nations, fundraising in many countries is conducted by the country's own national chapter. The chapters then share the revenues with WMF. However, each chapter adopts its own spending practices and accountability standards.
The German chapter spends a portion of its funds on technology, but most of the other chapters focus on conferences, travel and other soft costs. Needless to say, with so much money being spent on non-technology / infrastructure items, the WMF and its chapters have drawn critics from within their own organization. However, internal dissent is quickly deleted.[32]
The WMF has two chapters in the United States: Wikimedia New York (which has a 501(c)(3) status from the IRS) and Wikimedia District of Columbia, whose 501(c)(3) exemption application was abandoned. The Treasurer of the UK WMF chapter suddenly resigned in 2013.[33] The outgoing vice president of Wikimedia Australia (who was an unsuccessful candidate for President in its 2012 election) applied for a travel grant with two of her friends to visit Colorado ski resorts in December 2012 and sought the funding retroactively.[34]

Butcher of Heartache on the Bering Sea
A former newspaper copyeditor finds his way onboard a fishing boat.
One blue-dark hour after midnight, a Coast Guard rescue diver in the Bering Sea grins his dimpled, manly grin at me from a TV show on the dangers of commercial fishing and cheerfully exclaims, "These are the major leagues of death!"
Just after New Year's, I ride an overnight bus from Spokane, Wash., to the Fishermen's Terminal in Ballard, a Scandinavian sea-faring enclave of Seattle. In the harbor you can see the MV Stellar Sea, its creased and battered blue sides looming high above smaller vessels out at the far end of the wharf. The Stellar, an ocean-going factory ship, is loading for a three-month voyage to the Bering Sea, west of Alaska. I am a middle-aged former newspaper copyeditor unmoored by loss. I have to go.
Lat. 47.6 N
Long. 123.3 W
Jan. 5. 1600 hours.
We sail today. The diesel fires up in the early afternoon and a sudden jet of oily smoke from the stacks hangs in the pale drizzle above. We idle at the wharf for an hour with the gangplank down, tempting anyone who has last-minute doubt. There are no takers, not after what Tom said last night.
Tom, a short redheaded guy from Montana, is the main production boss and our chief manipulator, astonishingly aggressive about telling us how much the work sucks. With his old-fashioned cowboy mustache and faded ball cap, he paced back and forth in front of us in the galley last night, eyeballing us with a mixture of pity and seemingly genuine concern.
"If you don't think you can do this, leave now or in the morning. There's no shame in it," he said.
Already I was certain, standing like a graying shadow amid the piercings, tattoos and swagger as we lined up for meals in the cafeteria-style galley, that I wasn't on anyone's list of someone who'd finish the contract.
But no one left. Not when everybody, in their inner ears, had just heard him say, "You pussy!"
And soon enough, the skipper uses the bow thrusters to spin the boat out into the ship canal. We're away.
Last night, I dreamt that I would see her at the Ballard Locks. And so as the Stellar inches in, I stand on deck with others, scanning all the sightseers. As the Stellar's bulk sighs lower in the draining chamber and our deck comes level with the sidewalk, a smiling woman tosses questions at me.
"Where are you out to?"
"The Pribilofs."
"What are you fishing for?"
We banter briefly. In parting, she says, "We're from Anchorage." What are the odds, I think. That's where the woman I'm missing went.
Lat. 55.05 N.
Long. 166.3 W.
Jan. 16. 1840 hours.
The Stellar is booming. Wind and current combine to create 25-foot seas as we shoulder our way north up Unimak Pass, headed for the Bering Sea. From the bridge, aft, the long stretch of main deck resembles a great rusty whale as the bow rises, rises, shedding water, only to arc into the next wave with a shuddering whoomph! exploding a brilliant curtain of spray. Over and over, all day long.
Lat. 57.07 N.Long.
Jan. 21. Off Village Cove, St. Paul Island.
The factory kicks up today with 138,000 pounds of crab delivered by the Polar Sea, our first load.
In my journal, I describe my first shift as a butcher: "Crab, crab. Piles and zooms of crab. Gloved, sleeved, robed and booted. Ceremonial, the butcher awaits."
Crab pours out onto a conveyor belt and soon piles so high I can't see the guy across the line from me. Grab one. Spin it around and gather its legs into each of my hands. Steady its nose against a piece of angle iron. Pull! The carapace breaks in two, falling away to the flume to be carried off. The legs convulse and wrap around my hands. Worms and parasites. Barnacles. Missing legs. Big ones and little. Goo flies in the giller brushes. Crab water sprays as the carapace is broken. Go! Go! Go! Some look at me as they ride past on the belt. Others walk off, into my hands, and death.
The work is ugly and miserable. It's like heartache.
Lat. 57.12 N.
Long. 170.07 W.
Jan. 26. Off Big Lake, St. Paul Island.
JT is big, biker big. Big arms, big shoulders, big gut. A big walrus mustache that can't hide his smile if he is happy, but augments his big mean stare if he isn't. He's among the few guys aboard who really scare me. JT is such a bully that the spot opposite him on the packing line is almost always empty, but that's where I go after break, ditching my assigned job elsewhere. I didn't come here to be meek, I tell myself. As crab rains down from the butcher line above, I race to be first to fill a wire basket with 40 pounds of crab legs. My orange-gloved hands and JT's dance around each other. Then one of his meaty hands swats mine away. Or his other fist swings around and snatches a bundle of crab legs away from me.
"Do you know why I do that? Because I can."
So I watch JT for awhile. Watch his hands. Snap an arm across the line and pluck a fistful of crab away. Glare at him and don't say a thing as I punch it into my basket.
His eyebrows shoot up and his mouth forms a perfect little "o." JT laughs and booms out
He'd done two combat tours in Vietnam but had been living under bridges before he found the Stellar. He's made a stand here, living onboard the last six years in this ghetto of the seafood industry. For all his bluster, JT is one of the invisibles – people we don't see.
One night he says a most unexpected thing: "A poem. I have a poem I want to tell you," he shouts over the factory noise.
Next morning, in the quiet of the galley, he walks over with a bemused smile, rubbing his mustache with one of his great fists, his hair all wonky with sleep. The poem describes the arc of a love affair, using descriptions of the sky as markers for how the love was going. It isn't a great poem but it's clean, honest; ends sad.
We are both silent.
"Who wrote that? You write that?"
He names a woman with his own last name.
"Any relation?"
"She was my wife," he says.
When he came home from his first tour in Vietnam, he came home to this poem. It was on the kitchen table.
"I read it once, tore it to shreds, went around and punched out every fucking window in the trailer and signed right back up for a second tour," he says.
We're silent again. I do the math. This is easily 35 or 40 years earlier. After 35 or 40 years, how can someone recite a poem – word for word – that they have read only once?
"I loved the woman," he says.
Kevin Taylor is a journalist and writer in Spokane, Wash., who once found a very different note on a kitchen table, although it still, ultimately, led him to the Stellar Sea. This piece is excerpted from a longer memoir.

Feb. 6, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Nationally-ranked No. 10 MIT outlasted Rivier College, 30-25, 26-30, 32-30, 30-26, in a hard-fought North East Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA) New England Division men's volleyball match on Tuesday night. With the win, the Engineers improved to 9-1 on the year and 6-0 in conference play while the Raiders fell to 3-5 overall and 2-1 in the NECVA New England Division.
In the opening game, Rivier established a 7-4 advantage. Behind strong serving by Praveen Pamidimukkala, MIT tallied five unanswered points to take the lead. The Raiders quickly evened the score at nine, but the Engineers captured the next three points to go ahead for good. Tech eventually extended its margin to 21-15, but Rivier posted seven out of the next nine points to cut its deficit to one (23-22). MIT countered with a four-point spurt that gave it enough breathing room as both sides traded points to close the game.
Like the first frame, the Raiders opened up the second stanza with a 7-4 lead. The Engineers went on a 9-1 run that later resulted in a 16-11 advantage. Rivier responded by tallying seven points in row to regain the lead. MIT could not overcome the momentum shift as the Raiders went on to even the contest at one game each.
Both squads traded points to start the third game before the Engineers posted three in a row to take a 9-6 edge. The slim margin held throughout most of the game as MIT led 25-21. Following a timeout by Rivier, the Raiders rattled off four consecutive points. After trading points, Rivier went ahead at 28-27. Solid play at the net set up game point for the Engineers, but the Raiders evened the score at 29. Each side won a point before MIT posted the final two.
The early stages of the final frame were closely played as it featured 11 ties. Trailing 13-12, the Engineers went on a 7-1 run to take the lead. Rivier narrowed the gap to three (21-18), however, MIT tallied three points in a row to double its margin. The Raiders continued to attack as they once again cut their deficit to three (28-25), but they could not sustain the late rally.
Pamidimukkala posted 17 kills and 14 digs while Ryan Dean notched 16 kills on 31 attempts with three errors for a .419 hitting percentage and four assists. Eric Reuland contributed 17 kills, six blocks, and four assists while Matthew Ng recorded nine digs. Philip Rogoz finished with 52 assists, eight digs, and three blocks as Michael Demyttenaere led the blocking corps with nine stops. Eugene Jang paced the Engineers with three service aces.
Zach Stedman had a solid outing for Rivier as he registered 17 digs, 15 kills, and four blocks while Brice Stockman tallied 17 kills and four blocks. Zach Phillips rounded out the front row with 10 kills and six blocks as Justin Andreozzi led the defense with 16 digs. Kevin Harrington dished out 37 assists to go along with 11 digs.
Both teams continue NECVA New England Division play on Thursday, Feb. 8. MIT will make the trip to Johnson & Wales University while Rivier will travel to Emmanuel College.

- Yield:serves 10
- Active time: 1 1/2 hour
- Total time:6 hours
- Rated:
- For the Brine
- 2 quarts cold water
- 1/3 cup salt
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 whole pork loin, trimmed of silverskin and excess fat (about 3 pounds)
- For the Rub
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon fennel seed
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
- 1 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic (about 3 medium cloves)
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 whole boneless pork belly (5 to 6 pounds)
- Type of fire: three-zone split
- Grill heat: medium
To make the brine: In a large bowl, whisk together water, salt, and sugar until solids are dissolved. Submerge pork loin in brine. Place in refrigerator and brine for 2 hours.
To make the rub: Place peppercorns and fennel seed in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; toast spices until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and process until coarsely ground. Transfer spice mixture to small bowl and mix in sage, rosemary, garlic, thyme, crushed red pepper, and lemon zest. Set aside.
Lay pork belly, skin side down, on a large cutting board. Score flesh with a sharp knife at an angle about every inch. Repeat in opposite direction to create a diamond pattern. Season pork belly liberally with salt. Sprinkle rub evenly across pork belly, using hands to pat rub into meat and cut crevices.
Remove pork loin from brine; pat dry with paper towels. Place in center of pork belly. Roll pork belly around pork loin so it fully encases loin. Tie roll close with butcher twine about every inch.
Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on either side of the charcoal grate and place a foil pan between the two piles of coals. Cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Run spit of the rotisserie through middle of pork roll and secure ends with rotisserie forks. Place on the rotisserie, cover, and cook at medium heat until skin has darkened and crisped and pork registers 155ºF when an instant read thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of the meat, about 3 hours, replenishing coals to maintain temperature as needed. Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove spit, slice, and serve.

They had reptiles and mammals; like alligators, snakes, red foxes, cougars, and bobcats.
They also had a variety of birds, including several species of owls and hawks. They had just opened a new exhibit, a walk-in aviary, when we went. This exhibit featured many shorebirds like ospreys, herons, and my new obsession, the spoonbill. This was very much my favorite part of the park.
The start of the Homosassa river was located on the grounds of the park, a lovely spring which turned the waters all shades of blue and green and kept the water temperatures at 72 degrees (22 degrees Celsius) year round.
Of course, the park's most notable residents were found in the spring... the manatees. These manatees were non-releasable, and so could not swim out of their paddock, but plenty of their wild relatives can be seen in the lower river and near-by Crystal River, especially during the winter.
There were almost hourly talks being given at various spots in the park, so there was always something to check out. For the most part, the talks were interesting and informative, and tended to coincide with feeding time for that particular animal. My one regret was the very last talk we went to, where the presenter didn't show proper respect for the baby alligator he was handling. That was very distressing to watch, but may be a bug for that particular presenter and not the others as a whole.
So, if you're looking for a place to go hiking and possibly get a glimpse of animals in the wild, Homosassa may not be the place for you. But if you're in the mood for a zoo-like atmosphere and a chance to see some of the native animals up close and personal, this is a good place to go.

Raymond Anderson, 38, of East Falls, has always been athletic. Anderson, who has an intellectual disability, began running track and cross country in high school. Sports and competition, he said, have helped him keep focus.
On Saturday, April 27 he will be one of 250 athletes in the Philadelphia area competing in the 2013 Special Olympics Spring Games which will be held from 7 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. at Penn Charter School, 3000 W. School House Lane.
"Competing in the Special Olympics has really helped me to be more disciplined," Anderson said. "It keeps me busy and gives me something fun to do, rather than just staying in the house all the time."
Anderson is just one of the 35 members on the Special Olympics of Philadelphia's Temple Track Team that meets every Saturday to practice for two hours. (The participants selected the name Temple Track based on the location of where they practice. Temple University is not affiliated with the Special Olympics team.)
Michelle Cordell, sports director of the Special Olympics Philadelphia Chapter, said many of the athletes cross train between seasons. She said more than 743 children and adults with intellectual disabilities or developmental disabilities participate in more than 16 local, invitational, sectional and state events.
The Philadelphia Chapter offers training and competition in Aquatics, Track & Field, Basketball, Bowling, Softball, Tennis, Bocce, Long Distance, Running/Walking, Soccer, Volleyball and Floor Hockey.
The competition, Cordell said, is first rate.
"I absolutely love my job," she said. "I love seeing the joy and excitement on their faces. They work hard. I have never met more dedicated athletes. They go the distance – and when they don't think they can go anymore – they just keep on."
Anderson, a runner, also participates in bowling and bocce. He said he loves meeting new people and socializing.
When he's not working part-time as a maintenance worker or training for an event, he works as a Global Messenger for the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania. Cordell said he speaks to sponsors and volunteers about the Special Olympics program and how it has helped him. Last summer, Anderson spoke at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2012 Special Olympics Summer Games held at Penn State.
"I have met Howie Mandel, Pat Croce and Muhammad Ali's daughter," Anderson said. "and Michelle," he adds quickly smiling at Cordell.
"You have a busier social schedule than I do," she said.
Lenny Lutts, of Northeast Philadelphia, is just one of the many volunteers. Lutts, who also coaches swimming and bocce, gives participates high-fives as they cross the line.
"I love to watch them improve their skills," Lutts said. "It makes them feel good."
Anderson is looking forward to competing in the Summer Games, which are held at Penn State in June.
While he said he likes receiving the medals, he always remembers the Special Olympics Oath –
"Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."

The proposal splits some areas into multiple districts, such as Elmont (two) and the Five Towns (four). It puts three Democratic legislators together in one district along the South Shore, and another two together on the North Shore. It's hard to believe that was unintentional. It does leave two Republican legislators in one district — though it is widely believed that one of them won't be seeking re-election anyway.
The Democratic plan keeps existing districts largely intact while changing boundaries primarily in the center of the county to address the most drastic population shifts there. But it fails to unite some communities that have long been split into more than one district, such as Valley Stream, Oceanside, Rockville Centre, East Rockaway and West Hempstead. This plan could have done more to put communities back together.
Both plans are flawed, and any final product will be, too. But it would be a lot easier to accept a map that was put together in a bipartisan fashion, which could have and should have been done over the past two months.
At the lone public hearing after the respective proposals were released, on Jan. 3, commission members took public testimony again, with more than 60 residents and leaders getting up to speak. Most blasted the Republican plan.
The hearing showed how partisan this process was. The Democratic members said they were rebuked for their efforts to work with the other side. When it was time for the Republicans' presentation, the chairman did it — the non-voting chairman, who is supposed to simply run the meetings. The five Republicans, asked by their Democratic counterparts to justify their map, mostly sat silent.
It seems clear that the neither Mangano nor the County Legislature gave the commission any direction to work together and at least try to create a bipartisan map. Instead, it seems that the commission was there mostly for show, simply to meet the mandate of the county charter and not to do any real, meaningful work on behalf of the people.
We hope this doesn't lead to costly court challenges like the one in 2011, when Republicans tried to push through a gerrymandered map that was ultimately struck down by a court of appeals.

Summary View help for Summary
The DC Metropolitan Area Drug Study (DC*MADS) was conducted in 1991, and included special analyses of homeless and transient populations and of women delivering live births in the DC hospitals. DC*MADS was undertaken to assess the full extent of the drug problem in one metropolitan area. The study was comprised of 16 separate studies that focused on different sub-groups, many of which are typically not included or are under-represented in household surveys.
The DC*MADS: Household and Non-household Populations examines the prevalence of tobacco, alcohol, and drug use among members of household and non-household populations aged 12 and older in the District of Columbia Metropolitan Statistical Area (DC MSA). The study also examines the characteristics of three drug-abusing sub-groups: crack-cocaine, heroin, and needle users. The household sample was drawn from the 1991 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA). The non-household sample was drawn from the DC*MADS Institutionalized and Homeless and Transient Population Studies. Data include demographics, needle use, needle-sharing, and use of tobacco, alcohol, cocaine, crack, inhalants, marijuana, hallucinogens, heroin, sedatives, stimulants, psychotherapeutics (non-medical use), tranquilizers, and analgesics.

The household and nonhousehold data were drawn from three sources: (1) the DC MSA oversample of NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD SURVEY OF DRUG ABUSE, 1991 (ICPSR 6128) (NHSDA), (2) the DC*MADS 1991 Institutionalized Population Study, and (3) WASHINGTON, DC, METROPOLITAN AREA DRUG STUDY (DC*MADS), 1991: HOMELESS AND TRANSIENT POPULATION (ICPSR 2346). The NHSDA oversample consisted of interviews with 2,547 residents from a sample of 5,399 households and selected group quarters (e.g., college dormitories, homeless shelters). The Institutionalized Study consisted of 1,203 interviews with residents of 42 institutions stratified into four groups: 888 interviews from 20 correctional institutions, 207 interviews from 6 psychiatric institutions, 55 interviews from 7 noncorrectional institutions for juveniles, and 73 interviews from 9 group homes. The Homeless and Transient Population Study consisted of 908 interviews from four overlapping sampling frames: 477 interviews with residents in 93 shelters, 224 interviews with patrons of 31 soup kitchens and food banks, 143 interviews with "literally homeless" people from 18 major cluster encampments, and 64 interviews with literally homeless people from an area probability sample of 432 census blocks in the MSA. Overlap between the samples may have occurred. The overlap was minimized by eliminating institutions from the DC*MADS surveys that would increase overlap. For example, students living in dormitories were included in the NHSDA but not the DC*MADS Institutionalized Study.

For the Household Study: the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the coterminous United States (Alaska and Hawaii excluded) aged 12 and older. For the Institutionalized Study: persons in institutional (e.g., correctional facilities, mental or psychiatric hospitals, noncorrectional facilities for juveniles) and noninstitutional group quarters (e.g., group homes, transitional homes for people leaving treatment for substance abuse). Nursing homes and hospitals or wards providing drug and alcohol treatment were excluded. For the Homeless and Transient Population Study: persons who were either literally homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless, including persons who spent the previous night in an emergency shelter, in a nondomicile (e.g., vacant building, city park, car, or on the street), or who were using soup kitchens or emergency food banks.

Baccarat Systems Provide Strategy Playing the Game
Baccarat is often called the game of kings. Originating in Italy, baccarat is the high roller game of choice with many casinos having separate rooms for high roller baccarat players. It's often one of the most lucrative areas for casinos to have since players will bring in millions of dollars not only to gamble with but also spend in the hotel. The PR a big baccarat win brings is free advertising for a casino. There are several popular baccarat systems. Some players use strategy others use luck only . But here is an overview of several popular baccarat gambling systems that provide strategy while playing the game.
Martingale System
The Martingale strategy is a popular strategy for baccarat. In this strategy, the gambler will double a losing bet with the hope of recouping losses. For example, if a player bets 100 and loses, the next bet would be 200. The win will recoup the loss of 100 if the player wins. This gambling strategy assumes the player has an extremely large bankroll and that the player wins. Since there are often cycles of great hands and cycles of poor hands, if a player is on a poor cycle, they will probably go bust, losing their bankroll all together. There are additional flaws in this system. For example, you may only be able to bet up to a certain fixed amount at a table. Many tables allow betting up to $500 , in which case , you won't be able to bet and follow the Martingale system. The Martingale system can be fully applied in a high roller games.
D'Alembert System
The D'Alembert system is a gambling system based on the theory of equilibrium. As it applies to baccarat, the theory is that if there is a long losing streak, then there should be an equally long winning streak. The betting sequence is for each win you subtract a bet unit and for each loss you add a bet unit. For example, if you bet 100 and lose, you then double the bet to 200. When you win 400, you will next bet with 300. It's a graduated betting system that in theory covers losses and hedges wins. The D'Alembert system doesn't call for all-in bets at all and the wins and losses are kept in check.
The Contra D'Alembert is more aggressive. In the Contra D'Alembert when a player wins they increase the betting unit by one. This somewhat coincides with the theory that a winning streak needs to flourish till a losing streak starts. For example, if you bet 100 and win, the next bet would be 300. The next bet after that would 700. If you win again the next bet would be 1500. It allows for winning streaks to continue and reap rewards of these periods. This theory seems to have a better flow with real results since often a player has streaks of winning or losing and this system capitalizes the winning streaks. The downside is baccarat tables often have betting limits of $500 and that would be the maximum bet a player could make. As with the Martingale system, a high roller environment is the best place to apply this theory.
Fibonacci System
The Fibonacci baccarat system uses a fixed sequence of numbers as a guide to place bets. The numbers are results of addition. For example, 1+1 =2 1+2=3 3+2=5 5+3=8 8+5=13 13+8=21 and up to 275. The numbers are 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 233 and 275. In the Fibonacci betting system when you win, you subtract the previous two number sequence and bet with that amount. For example, if you win 21, you remove the 21 and 13 and bet the next bet with 8. Over time this strategy has limitations like table limits. Also, distractions can make it easy to forget the sequence to count and bet with.
In conclusion, there are several types of baccarat systems. While no system is perfect, they each provide a strategy that will act as a guide while you play. No matter the game, it's important to have a strategy while playing any game in a casino. Along with a strategy, it's important to take notes to use as a reference point and find what works best for your game. Strategy and experience will improve outcomes overall.

August 10, 2006
GRANVILLE, OHIO - Mike Schmitz enters his seventh season as the College of Wooster's football coach expecting senior Evan Watson to be one of the key cogs on the Scots' defense.
Watson, a defensive end, is coming off a junior season where he finished fourth on the team with 62 tackles, 34 of those solo. Watson tied for the team-high with 121/2 tackles for a loss and led the team with 71/2 sacks. Watson was named first-team all conference last season was on the honorable mention squad his sophomore season. Teammates voted Watson the "defensive player of the year" following last season.
"Evan Watson is going to be a key player for us," said Schmitz, whose team last season finished 6-4. "He has got an amazing variety of talents. Along with that, he brings a ton of emotion to the field. I expect him to have a great senior year."
Watson is the son of Wabash College Professor of Theater Dwight Watson.
Wooster opens its season Sept. 2 against John Carroll.
Returning quarterbacks
Wabash joins Denison and Wittenberg as the teams searching for new quarterbacks for the 2006 season.
The Little Giants lost Russ Harbaugh due to graduation. Also gone from last season are Denison's Larry Cappetto and Wittenberg's Ryan Holmes. The Tigers do return senior tailback Tristan Murray for his fifth season. Murray led the conference in rushing last season, gaining an average of 122.4 yards on the ground.
Some of the conference team's quarterbacks return after being injured last season. After playing in three games and missing the remainder of the season with a foot injury, Earlham's Justin Rummell was granted a medical hardship and returns for his fifth season. After an injury-plagued 2005 campaign, Justin Schafer returns to quarterback Wooster his senior season.
"Justin (Schafer) is just a leader and his experience is really going to help us," Schmitz said. "After he got injured last season, you could just tell that mentally this team was different."
Rummell passed for an average of 300.3 yards in the three games he played in last season. He set the Quakers' school record for passing yards with 2,581 in 2004.
Other returning quarterbacks this season are Allegheny's Jimmy Savage, Hiram's Trevor Henderson, Kenyon's Rafael Sanchez and Oberlin's Andy Stein. Sanchez finished last season second in the conference with his average of 273.3 total yards per game.
Tough start
Wittenberg was picked to finish fourth in the coaches and media polls.
The Tigers will certainly have a tough early-season schedule.
Out of Wittenberg's first six games, four of them are against teams ranked higher than them in the preseason d3football.com poll. Another one of those games is against 1-AA Dayton.
Wittenberg opens its season against No. 5-ranked Capital. Wittenberg then hosts Dayton and Alma. They then travel to Wooster on Sept. 30. Both Alma and Wooster received more votes than Wittenberg in the preseason poll. After hosting Earlham, the Tigers end their tough stretch with a home game against No. 20-ranked Wabash.
"That is just murder's row," Wittenberg coach Joe Fincham said. "When you look at that, we are going to be the underdogs in five of our first six games."

Naomi Campbell: 'I'm much happier now I don't drink'
The beauty, who has a history of bad behaviour, is convinced boozing was making her miserable - and therefore prone to tantrums.
During a year away from the spotlight, Campbell addressed her issues and made some major changes - and now she insists she's a very different person.
She tells Life & Style magazine, "If people think they know me, they can think again. Most people think they know me because they say, 'We've seen your pictures here and there for years,' but when I'm not working or anything, I try to live a private, quiet life...
"I gave up drinking alcohol. Not drinking makes me a lot happier."
And she admits travelling between her homes in Moscow, London and New York make her happy too: "I'm a gypsy. I want to see the new wonders of the world and spend quality time with the people I love."


text: New Tool Recommends N Rates Based on Real-time Analysis April 30, 2014 01:28 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Rhonda Brooks Editor, Farm Journal MagazineEditorial Director, Farm Journal Media Email Adapt-N, a new software program, analyzes corn crop dynamics, soil types, weather data and more to calculate a course of action for nitrogen use. As Nick Meier evaluates practices he can implement to coax more yield from each bag of seed corn he plants, he is taking a closer look at the role nitrogen (N) plays in the process. Specifically, the northeast Iowa farmer, based near La Porte City, is fine-tuning how much N he uses and when he uses it, thanks to help from an online tool called Adapt-N. The program, developed by a team of scientists at Cornell University, led by Harold van Es, provides farmers with real-time, site-specific N analysis. The tool takes into consideration individual corn crop dynamics, soil types, field management practices, and a combination of historical and up-to-the-moment weather data, to calculate a course of action for N use. "You can run the tool daily, weekly or monthly, and it will continually provide a report and predict how much nitrogen you saved, how much you lost and how much your crop needs at any given time," says Steve Sibulkin, chief executive officer for Agronomic Technology Corp, which has licensed the cloud-based program. The company commercially launched Adapt-N in 28 states this spring, following three years of in-field testing, 2011 through 2013, on approximately 100,000 acres in 12 states. "N is a pretty elusive nutrient to pin down, as far as application rates, and this program is eliminating a lot of the guesswork in our management," notes Shannon Gomes, Meier's agronomist and owner of Cedar Basin Crop Consulting, Decorah, Iowa. Meier and Gomes beta tested the tool in side-by-side, replicated strip trials, using 16-row equipment, during the 2011, 2012 and 2013 growing seasons, the latter two which were marked by weather extremes. 2012 featured a historic drought, while 2013 was marred by too much rainfall. The two men say recommendations the program made were spot on both years. In 2012, the tool recommended that Meier not sidedress any anhydrous ammonia in the strips because the crop, due to dry conditions, had yet to absorb the N he had applied the previous fall. That recommendation paid off as Meier found there was no yield difference at harvest between N treated and untreated corn and contributed to a significant savings in product, application cost and time. In 2013, a somewhat opposite scenario transpired. The tool, indicating his fall-applied N had leached as a result of excessive spring rains, recommended that Meier sidedress 80 lbs. of N per acre. Meier complied with the recommendation on the majority of his corn crop but, as a point of comparison, used only 50 lbs. of N in the strips. Fueled by adequate nutrients and moisture, the portion of the crop that received the additional N netted Meier a 14 bu. per acre average yield increase and a tidy profit, based on last year's prices. Meier says his experience during the past two, vastly different growing seasons convinced him to use the program across all his corn acres this year. "We're after higher yields, and this gives me a way to make sure I'm not overusing or under-applying N in the process," he notes. Sibukin says that based on a decade of university research plus multi-regional, on-farm testing, growers can expect to net about $38 per acre in profit, on average—either in saved costs or improved corn yield results—as a result of using Adapt-N. "This amount has been much higher in wet years, upwards of $100 per acre for some users," Sibukin adds. Greg Levow, Agronomic Technology Corp president and chief operating officer, describes the program as being scale independent. "It can run on any sized field, slices of a field or even a grid-sampled field with hundreds of zones," he explains. "The user can create field boundaries using shapefile (software) or by drawing fields with our mapping tool," Levow adds. "They then drop pins to indicate the zones within those fields." Not Cheap Insurance N plays a pivotal role in corn production. That fact, along with N's impact on the environment, makes it paramount that the input is applied accurately and responsibly. Plus, N is an incredibly complex, elusive nutrient, says consulting agronomist Greg Kneubuhler, owner of G & K Concepts, Inc., based in Harlan, Ind. "Different soil types, slopes, drainage, organic matter and Mother Nature in particular affect nitrogen; you can't treat every corn acre with an average N rate if you're going to do a better job of nitrogen management," he says. Last year, Kneubuhler retrospectively compared N application rates prescribed by Adapt-N to those his customers actually applied. He says the tool recommendations matched the optimum economic rates of N he had prescribed to farmers in all but a handful of instances. Gomes has seen similar results in Iowa. "The model has done a good job about 90% of the time," Gomes says. "When it's underestimated N, say we were 3 or 4 bu. short, compared to normal yields, economically it wouldn't have paid to put on more N because of the cost of that application." Kneubuhler says tweaks the company made to its algorithms after the 2013 season have improved the program. "I believe it's as close to any predictive nitrogen model out there now," he says. For 2014, the company has collaborations with agronomists and farmers in 12 states who are conducting controlled strip trials to ensure the tool is well-calibrated. Eventually, company officials expect to have strip trials in every state where the program is used. Three tiers of Adapt-N are available for farmers' and agronomists' consideration. Which tier an individual selects will likely vary based on size and scope of the farming operation or business. Farmers can get started with the tool for $99, which covers 100 acres. Additional acreage can be added to an individual's program at any time. "A farmer with 1,000 acres or more would probably want to use our grower pro plan, which would cost between $1.50 and $3.50 an acre," Sibukin says. The one-time-per-season fee allows the grower or consultant to run the program as often as desired on the selected set of acres; it automatically runs once a day. Kneubuhler says he would advise most farmers to work with someone to implement the program. "Unless you have a person in the office who has the time to input all the data and evaluate it, then I think having a CCA or crop consultant run the tool, kick out a weekly or monthly report and make recommendations is the way to go," he recommends. Because Adapt-N is based on cloud computing, meaning the software and databases are centrally located on servers, farmers and consultants can access recommendations it prescribes in their fields, home or the local coffee shop using a smart phone, iPad or any computer with internet access.

BRISTOL — Heading into its second year, Hogback Community College has doubled its course offerings and is expanding beyond the realm of ecology-focused classes to incorporate courses in health, acting and even homebrewing. The first classes start later this month with some getting under way later in the spring.
Based in the five-town region around Bristol, this offshoot of Vermont Family Forests — a local nonprofit dedicated to environmental conservation — doesn't offer grades and doesn't have a campus.

Still no joy with this car, cylinder no 3 still off and smoking like hell, iv checked glow plugs, is there a way to test the injector or what should my next step be cheers
Oh yes a big warning ! When working on crank shaft sensor fill the hole in with some tissue etc , I dropped the bolt into the gear box and had to partially remove the box I was not happy !
Sorry the crank sensor goes as far down as it can . We had it about 3 mm from fully in and it wouldn't go .
But surely if it's smoking fuel is going into the cylinder but not igniting ? As for a compression test the engine ran perfect in the car it was taken out of. Could glow plug cause it
Hi all finally got it going where the garage failed ! It was the crank sensor was slightly too high . Now it is only running on 3 pots ( 2nd from timing belt off ) and smoking like hell I would welcome your thoughts on that and best way to test it thankyou.
I really hope it's that simple cheers .will keep you posted
the garage is not getting any fault codes and as iv said the injectors etc have been re coded to car by the same garage using a snap on gadget.by the way the injectors were off the old engine,changed over to the correct cylinders. the car is still with the garage at the mo and iv give them your advice about fuel air locks( which i admit the aluminuim filter in the engine bay was totally empty when we connected it up ) as the good old haynes said it was self bleeding! i will up date you all as thing happen cheers guys.
How do I bleed fuel system please as my Haynes says its self bleeding thanks.
Have already tried two crank sensors the earths seem to be in the correct places but there dosnt seem to be any fuel pressure as iv said it will start up on easy start for a second or two the only things I can think of is 1) the fly wheel in wrong position so crank sensor not picking up signal ,but I think it had a dowl to locate it so can't be wrong. 2) when building new engine back up I thought I could get round the pump having to re coded so I swapped the two electrical parts from the original pump . Every thing was recoded anyway and no faults were brought up on snap on diagnostics.what are your thoughts on these things please everyone .
the original engine had a knackered bottom end but ran the second hand engine ran too.no sign of any smoke on start up but engine starts on easy start spray briefly. I swapped the three piece clutch as well I dont suppose the fly wheel could be in wrong position could it.
Mondeo Problem Help !

My name is Jenny, and I'm a hot mess when it comes to public speaking. (Hi, Jenny!) So it makes perfect sense that I would volunteer to do a presentation to a group of people, right?
As I've mentioned before, I am a member of Genealogists in Second Life. We started a book club in which we are reading The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy by Val D. Greenwood (2000). At our meeting in August, the call was made for volunteers to present the next two chapters. Sometimes I think my mouth (actually, in this case it was my hands because I was typing) reacts before my brain has a chance to catch up ... but I volunteered. In my mind, it was justified because I only offered to do one of the chapters. Follow me so far?
I presented Chapter 4 - Evaluation of Evidence. Given my background as a paralegal, I thought talking about evidence would be right up my alley. It was a very interesting chapter, to say the least. It truly gave me a new perspective on how to evaluate genealogical evidence. I even had nice little PowerPoint slides!
We talked about how we need to be neutral and objective in our evaluation of evidence. Elizabeth Shown Mills, in Evidence Explained! (2007) says "our role is not to defend or to prosecute. Our objective should not be to promote any certain image or any particular point - only to discover and explain."
We discussed Greenwood's descriptions of the different types of evidence (direct, indirect, collateral, and hearsay) as well as different types of information (primary and secondary). Primary information is not always direct evidence, and does not necessarily warrant more weight in your analysis than secondary information that is direct evidence. James Tanner at Genealogy's Star has several terrific posts discussing evidence and proof in detail.
One of the big points I wanted to make during my presentation was this:
Truly, this cannot be stressed enough.
We ended with a discussion about the standards of proof and the Genealogical Proof Standard set out by the Board for Certification of Genealogists.
It seemed to go pretty well. I was glad that we were only in voice chat during the presentation, so no one could tell what a nervous wreck I was. I have a whole new level of respect for you folks who get up in front of hundreds of people time after time. I would be a drunken mess. But all is well ... I survived (thanks to my fellow genealogists in Second Life, who are wonderfully patient). Now I have to get ready to do my first in-person presentation to my genealogical society in November (yes, another volunteer request). Seriously, is there a 12-step program for people like me?

Thanks, Michelle! Nothing like dipping your toe in to get a feel for things. I'm sure eventually the "stage fright" goes away ... right? :)

FieldSight needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 65 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
Field Sight
Developing modern web application that provides remote monitoring and control of internet enabled equipment deployed anywhere in the world. The website makes it simple to see summary level information on a customer's field deployed equipment, relevant alerts, and ability to monitor and control individual piece of equipment.
Initially this website will be targeted to a specific business market using equipment provided by our company, but we expect this web application to be expanded to multiple industries with a range of equipment needing remote monitoring and control. Because of this, the target audience is generally business people responsible for maintaining a fleet of geographically dispersed equipment.
Designer has a lot of creative freedom on this one. The name is an obvious play on words that the user of the application will have "sight" on their equipment in the "field". To the extent you can incorporate visual metaphors for one or both of those words into the logo great, but not required. Name can have space or not.
In general, we're thinking of blue as a primary color and secondary colors of gray, red, or green, but really no requirement to use those colors.
Will be used on web in small size for identity branding so should be legible at heights as small as 64 pixels, but obviously work well at larger sizes.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
Prefer clean, simple, bold design. Interpret as desired.

The New York Mets have long been accused of mishandling injuries, from Carlos Beltran to Ryan Church to David Wright to Oliver Perez to Ike Davis.
That's only a few.
Mishandling ranges across a broad spectrum and you can see storm clouds forming with Matt Harvey.
A few weeks ago, I took Harvey to task for his adamant stance of wanting to rehab in New York instead of Port St. Lucie. I've softened on that approach following the incident stemming from a one-on-one interview the disabled pitcher had with Andy Martino of The New York Daily News.
Harvey has the union-negotiated right not to rehab the entire time in Florida, which is the Mets' preference. Harvey prefers New York, and insists it's not because of the Rangers and the nightlife the City offers.
By contrast, Port St. Lucie offers Chili's and an Outback. You can't even get a good pizza slice down there.
Harvey fully argued his position, and I better understand his desire and frustration, a product of his treatment by management.
"The biggest part is wanting to stay with the team,'' Harvey said. "To learn the league. To learn Travis (d'Arnaud). To learn how to bond with the other starting pitchers, and the guys in the clubhouse, and the David Wrights who I plan on playing with.
"I expressed that seven months in Port St. Lucie is a long time. For me, I strongly felt that my best opportunity, and my motivation to come back quicker, stronger, work harder would be to be with the teammates. That's kind of what I have always said. I have worked so hard to get to the big leagues and be with this team, it just felt like all of a sudden I was shooed to the back.''
Unfortunately, it's usually that way with injured players; they become invisible.
But, Harvey makes sense. In contrast, the Mets have not responded with a passionate defense of their position, other than to say most players have always rehabbed at the spring training site.
That's like a kid questioning his mother and hearing, "because I said so.'' That answer doesn't fly when one is eight, let alone 24.
General manager Sandy Alderson said the team would discuss a full rehab plan. Huh? He says that in March? This should have been decided in late October following Harvey's Tommy John surgery.
Why did this issue have to be in the air for the better part of five months? Ridiculous.
Funny, but when Harvey was introduced as the GM, COO Jeff Wilpon said better handling of injuries was a priority.
Why can't there be a compromise? Say, one month in New York and one month in Florida? Or, rehab when the team is home and return to Port St. Lucie when it is on the road?
Think of the frequent flier miles. This shouldn't be all that hard.
Harvey also complained his locker was moved – along with Jeremy Hefner – to the corner of the room, which he said isolates him from the team. He is the Mets, or at least will be next season, so why agitate him?
Alderson claimed he didn't order the move; instead saying it was the decision of the clubhouse manager. Since when does a clubhouse manager run things?
Harvey should have said something a month ago if he was unhappy. If he did, there's no excuse why this has lingered when he should have been relocated to his original locker location. The same goes for Hefner. There's not a good reason to do this and alienate Harvey.
Harvey was also peeved, and rightfully so, when his interview with Martino was intruded on by a Mets' official. Not being allowed to talk with the press is unreasonable. Just as bad is having his discussion monitored.
That the official also lingered after Harvey said everything was cool, and had a testy exchange with the reporter, not surprisingly reached print to further make the Mets look bad.
On interviews, Alderson said: "My recommendation is to manage doing interviews in a way that doesn't interfere with his day-to-day-activities.''
That's absurd. Players always do that. In over 20 years in major league clubhouses, I never experienced a player who didn't leave when he was scheduled to be somewhere else. "I gotta go. Let's finish this later,'' is the stock statement.
Besides, Harvey's work ethic would never prevent him from doing his rehab. He probably has his day structured tighter than the Mets' format.
So, the player who wasn't supposed to be a story became one because of three decisions, or indecisions, by Mets' management.
The first thing I thought of is why would the Mets push Harvey when all of this could have been alleviated with a little common sense? Why irritate your best pitcher, the guy you've been touting as the key to your rebuilding process?
Just plain dumb.
This is so petty. Don't think for a moment that if the Mets continue to play hardball with Harvey, that he won't do the same with them in 2019, when he becomes a free agent.
