ATLANTA (AP) — For decades, Southerners put a firm imprint on national politics from both sides of the aisle, holding the White House for 25 of the past 50 years and producing a legion of Capitol Hill giants during the 20th century. But that kind of obvious power has waned as Democrats and Republicans in the region navigate the consequences of tidal shifts in demographics, migration and party identity.
This is the second consecutive presidential election without a Southerner on either major party ticket. That has happened in back-to-back elections only once, 1968 and 1972, since Franklin Roosevelt, a New Yorker, won four consecutive elections with overwhelming support across what was then Democrats' solid South. (The 2008 candidates were Democrat Barack Obama of Illinois and Joe Biden of Delaware, and Republican John McCain of Arizona and Sarah Palin of Alaska. This year, it's Obama and Biden, and Republicans Mitt Romney of Massachusetts and Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.)
Besides the national dearth, the South's congressional power players are either aging icons — black Democrats John Lewis of Georgia and Jim Clyburn of South Carolina — or hail from the region's periphery — Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and House GOP leader Eric Cantor of Virginia.
But Kentucky was a Civil War border state, while Virginia, for all its antebellum credentials, is increasingly racially, culturally and politically diverse. That puts both states outside the Bible Belt, Deep South core that, fairly or unfairly, has long defined the region on the national stage.
This is all new for a proud region that produced Presidents George W. Bush and Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, Bill Clinton of Arkansas and Jimmy Carter of Georgia. George H.W. Bush claimed Texas as well, despite his roots as an East Coast moderate, and he was a national figure by the time he was elected. Newt Gingrich of Georgia drove the 1994 Republican resurrection in the U.S. House, and Tom DeLay of Texas extended it. Trent Lott of Mississippi led Republicans in the Senate. Lott's fellow Mississippian, Haley Barbour, helped fuel a GOP rise as national party chairman. Before them came a raft of speakers, floor leaders and notables.
Elected officials, party leaders and campaign strategists on both sides cite the old rule that politics is cyclical and say the table is set for their return to prominence, depending on how the parties and their candidates present themselves to the public.
For Democrats, the dry spell, as much as anything, is rooted in successive generations of white voters abandoning the party in federal elections and shifting the balance of power in statehouses and courthouses in nearly every state. There are simply fewer Democrats to identify as prospective national players.
"You've seen a peak in Republican power and the bottoming-out for Democrats," said former U.S. attorney Doug Jones, of Birmingham, Ala., who represented his state's Democratic Party as a convention delegate in Charlotte, N.C. "We've just got to do a better job educating folks about their bottom lines and what our policies mean for people on a day-to-day basis." That task, Jones said, "will have to take place over multiple election cycles."
For Republicans, a more complex dynamic is at play.
Gingrich and Lott, who toiled for many terms in the minority, were well-positioned to become national players when Republicans gained majorities. But now that initial wave of Southern GOP leadership is mostly off the stage. The party does have a deep Southern bench, with governors like 40-year-old Nikki Haley of South Carolina and 41-year-old Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, along with a host of neophyte senators and representatives. This new generation of Southern Republicans must compete among themselves and with the likes of Wisconsin Rep. Ryan, the Republican vice presidential nominee, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who delivered the GOP convention's keynote address.
"We've got some impressive new folks out there," said Timmy Teepell, a Republican campaign strategist and former chief of staff to Jindal.
If anything, ambitious Southern politicians are victims of the region's success.
Within both parties, the region's influence has been as the conservative branch opposite Northeastern liberals or Midwestern moderates. Since Roosevelt, that has dictated balanced national tickets.
Democrats have historically reached for regional balance.
They have nominated a non-Southerner eight times since 1952. Five of those times, the nominee added a Southerner to the ticket, each time a senator.
When Republicans gained the Southern advantage after Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, their focus became ideological balance. They did not necessarily define it by geography, but the result was the same: a nod to Southern conservatism. Richard Nixon's "Southern strategy," co-opted from Alabama Gov. George Wallace and his 1968 presidential bid as an independent, had gone national.
"The South is more like the rest of the country, and the rest of the country is more like the South," said Barbour, a former two-term Mississippi governor.
Romney continued the trend with Ryan, a tea party hero who pitches himself as a tax-slasher and budget cutter. Many Southerners were wary of Romney during the primaries, and social conservative Rick Santorum won several state contests.
Louisiana Republican Party Chairman Roger Villere said the Ryan pick settled any nerves. "It sends a great message to conservatives," he said. "We are excited about November."
Jones, the Alabama delegate, said Democrats find hope in demographic shifts.
Barack Obama won Virginia and North Carolina in 2008 on the strength of young and non-white voters. Florida has long been a competitive melting pot. Jones said white Southerners under age 30 or 35 are up for grabs, as well. Presidential exit polls from 2008 showed younger voters in some Southern states split evenly in states where Obama still lost by wide margins. That group, Jones said, is less likely to base their politics on anything to do with race.
"That's one of the problems we've had in the South," Jones said. "We've always been against something, whether it was civil rights or something else. The Southern vote is so often driven about what we're against."
If Democrats work methodically, he said, to "define ourselves as who we are, as opposed to just not being the other guy," the party will grow and inevitably produce national leaders again.
Arkansas Democratic Chairman Will Bond said his state provides a blueprint.
Arkansas is the last former Confederate state where Democrats still control both chambers of the Legislature. Republicans cut into their majorities in the national GOP sweep of 2010, but couldn't take over. Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe, meanwhile, won every county on his way to a second term.
Bond said the Arkansas party, besides enjoying the afterglow of having produced a president, has focused relentlessly on fiscal responsibility, education and economic development. "We just have to do a better job of telling our story across the South," he said.

Man! Do we remember how to trade without an imminent crisis hanging over our head? Oh yeah, risk-on baby! The Democrats may be viewed as the winners on this latest showdown but it is the dollar that is the loser. QE is back and here to stay and with the likelihood that this Democratic victory will lead to more government spending, the dollar is quickly falling out of favor. Even the gold market is rebounding as analysts keep getting more bearish, while physical and central bank demand continues to rise. Hot money will flow out of the U.S. driving the bearish gold (COMEX:GCZ13) analysts out of their shorts and away from the so-called nominal cost of production. Gold hit key resistance and pulled back from its huge up move! Stocks popped but are feeling dizzy as earnings are not exactly anything to write home about. As for energy, a heavy overhang of crude supply may keep this market from joining in the inflationary spending party.
Oil prices (NYMEX:CLX13) rallied as it became clear that a deal was going to happen to reopen the government and pay our debts. Yet a report by the American Petroleum Institute dampened some of the buying exuberance. The API reported a 5.9 million barrel build in crude oil supply. Refinery runs only dropped slightly to 86%. Cushing, Okla., the Nymex delivery point, increased by 291,000 barrels, gasoline stocks were in line falling by 2.2 million barrels and distillate fell by 1.3 million barrels.
Natural gas is marking time! The Supreme Court could be holding back the market a bit as it will hear cases on Obama's EPA regulations surrounding greenhouse gases. Yet the movement toward using more natural gas continues. Reuters reports that "General Motors Co. will begin selling a mid-sized sedan next summer that can be powered by either gasoline or compressed natural gas, the U.S. automaker's chief executive said on Wednesday.
The 2015 Chevrolet Impala, GM's first car powered by natural gas, will feature a powertrain that switches from compressed natural gas to gasoline seamlessly and has a total driving range of up to 500 miles, Dan Akerson said in a speech to be delivered at an energy summit in Washington. The car, which will have one fuel tank for compressed natural gas and a second one for gasoline, will be sold to both retail and fleet customers.
Natural gas is a cleaner-burning, less costly fuel than gasoline, and vehicles powered by compressed natural gas typically emit 20% fewer greenhouse gases than gas-powered cars, GM said, citing the California Air Resources Board. New techniques unlocking vast reserves of natural gas from shale have produced a boom in U.S. supplies and driven down prices, increasing interest in the fuel. The numbers of CNG vehicles remain small. According to the industry group Natural Gas Vehicles for America, about 130,000 to 135,000 natural gas vehicles operate in the United States and more than 16 million globally, most of them commercial and fleet vehicles such as buses and garbage trucks. The number of natural gas filling stations totals about 1,350 in the United States, about half of which are open to the public. That compares with about 168,000 retail gasoline stations, Akerson said.
GM previously said that next year it would begin selling bi-fuel versions of its heavy-duty Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks and natural gas versions of its Chevy Express and GMC Savana passenger vans.
Honda Motor Co sells a CNG-powered Civic. Ford Motor Co prepares its trucks and vans so that specialty companies can convert them to run on compressed natural gas, including its top-selling F-Series pickup truck, starting next month.
The bi-fuel Impala is meant to address range anxiety associated with vehicles that operate on natural gas only, much like GM's Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid car was designed to do for electric cars, Akerson said. It will carry a factory warranty on the powertrain and fuel system. GM did not disclose how much the bi-fuel Impala will cost, but regular versions start at about $27,700. "Natural gas powertrains are one of the areas where we have increased investment because we believe the technology can satisfy the 'green' needs of both the environment and the stockholders," Akerson said in the speech.

Got a blog? Got an ancestor? Tell us about their ancestral place.
One of the blogging themes at Geneabloggers.com is Those Places Thursday. Every genealogist should have a basic profile of each of their ancestral places, so this week why don't you pick one of those places, do a bit of research, and report back this Thursday on what you find?
There's a nice example here where Jen's looked at Herencia in Spain, learned a bit about its geography and history, thought about how that may have influenced her ancestor Nicanor's life, and identified what aspects of Herencia she'd need to know more about to round out Nicanor's ancestral story.

Thanks for stopping by Alex.
I checked your One Place Study site and think that it's fascinating! What a great idea!
The post on Herencia was really one of my favorites to write, because I had so much fun finding out about where they lived. I definitely plan on doing more and I hope that other bloggers follow suit.

Since it is now the default solution, I have migrated from initscripts to pure systemd. I have followed wiki and it was relatively painless. Then I upgraded to Gnome 3.6.
Even before the upgrade from Gnome 3.4 to Gnome 3.6 I have noticed that after I type my password into GDM, it takes noticeably long to get to the working environment. Only my wallpaper is visible and my hdd appears to be idle according to the led diode.
So I assume this is a systemd issue.
Tried systemd-analyze blame and it looks like Network manager takes quite a time to start.
I have the same problem in Cinnamon and Gnome shell. Also, in Gnome shell, the bottom hiding notification area is missing, not sure if that is related, but I guess it is not.
I am also using radeon and I see similar modeline records in logs as in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151378
Last edited by Raqua (2012-11-06 08:49:40)
Are you sure the notification area is missing? It takes a while to popup when you use the mouse (this is design). Try using the shortcut 'windows key + m' and see if it shows up.
Well, I tried it and it is definitely not working as before the upgrade. If this has not changed significantly, then it is just not there. I am pretty sure, I have waited at least 3 seconds for it to appear.
But since I use Cinnamon anyway, I do not care really. My problem is the slow start after login.
Thank you for your effort though.
Why does it take so long for network manager to start ?

Ok, according to this, in order to start service sooner I just need to do
systemd enable XXX.service
I have NetworkManager enabled like this.
I am thinking of setting the boot target from multi-user environment to single user to force it starting sooner. Not sure it is a good idea.
I can not believe I am the only one having this problem.
Here is the boot proces plot chart. You can see that Polkit and NetworkManager are indeed to blame.

Moving from gnome 3.4 to 3.6 I have noticed that gdm takes a lot longer to start, as well as actually logging in to gnome takes much longer, also full systemd.
I have just re-installed because I needed a MBR setup for Windows dual boot, Ill install gnome and see what happens

Ok, please report back if anything changed. I would hate to reinstall though, haven't done it for years...

After setting up everything again, I dont really notice much change in start up time of gdm from boot, but logging in to gnome seems a bit faster, I'll post another blame later
bitcoin: 1G62YGRFkMDwhGr5T5YGovfsxLx44eZo7U
I have experimented yesterday and replaced gdm with lxdm, but nothing really changed, Gnome/Cinnamon was still very slow to show.
I also disabled network manager but no change again, although analyze-blame was now ok and much faster.
Since it is not GDM to blame, I think there was some change (Gnome/GTK internals?) that makes the environment start very slow.

At Mayor Don Wesely's direction, the City Public Works and Utilities Department has made improvements to increase student safety at the intersection of 20th and South streets near Prescott Elementary and is working to improve school crossing safety at Arnold Elementary, 5300 West Knight Drive, where a child was struck by a vehicle last month.
"The safety of our children is important, and the City will do what it can to fix problem areas," said Mayor Wesely. "Getting our kids to and from school safely still depends on motorists watching for pedestrians and driving responsibly."
Beginning Monday, January 6, pushing the crosswalk button will turn on a pair of lighted signs that will prohibit traffic on 20th Street from turning through the crosswalk on South Street when traffic on South Street is stopped for pedestrians. Previously, when a pedestrian pushed the button to cross South Street, drivers on 20th Street would turn onto South, many times coming dangerously close to school children in the crosswalk.
City Council member Jonathan Cook, who represents the southwest district, said he will continue to work with parents, school officials and City staff to pursue all options for making the crossing of South Street safer for children.
One sign will prohibit left turns for southbound vehicles on 20th Street approaching South Street, and the other will prohibit right turns for northbound vehicles on 20th Street approaching South Street. If the crosswalk button is not pushed, the turns will be permitted.
City Council member Annette McRoy, who represents the northwest district, and City staff are also working with school officials and the neighborhood association to determine if a second marked and signed crosswalk is appropriate for the Arnold Elementary area. Scott Opfer of the Public Works and Utilities Department said officials are eager to receive feedback prior to making any changes because the potential changes could affect parents' regular pick-up and drop-off routines. In order to implement another crossing on West Knight Street between Arnold Heights Park and the existing marked school crossing at Northwest 53rd Street, changes would have to be made which would affect the pick-up and drop-off zone, as well as the school bus zone located directly in front of the school.
Every elementary school in Lincoln has a "Recommended Safe Walking Route" map for students who walk to school and a "Recommended One-way Pick-up and Drop-off Plan" for those students being driven to school. They were developed by the Public Works and Utilities Department in conjunction with the individual schools to provide parents and school officials with another tool for getting the children to school safely. The map and the driving plan are a part of the annual "School Crossing Protection Manual" which is updated every summer and is available through the individual school. It can also be found at City libraries and on the City website at www.lincoln.ne.gov.

- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup melted butter
- In a medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour and chopped pecans until blended.
- In a separate glass measure, beat eggs until blended. Stir in melted butter, add this mixture to flour mixture and stir just until moistened. (Don't over mix this will cause the muffins to become tough)
- Generously spray 24 non-stick mini-muffin tins filling each cup 2/3 full.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes until tops feel firm to the touch and outside edges are lightly browned. Remove muffins from tin IMMEDIATELY and let cool on wire rack.
- Makes 24 mini muffins.
Terri's Notes
These tend to be sticky so do spray the tins well, even non-stick bakeware. You can run a sharp knife around the edges to loosen. If they are still stuck, wait just a couple minutes, sometimes as they begin to cool they pop out better.

Ben Jaroslaw: "one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet." - Bernie Fuchs
(Below, the earliest example of Jaroslaw's work I could locate, circa 1954.)
Ben was good at whatever he chose to do. He didn't start out painting cars, he started painting figures and one day decided that he was going to do cars. When Ben started painting cars, it was customary to paint them with airbrush. Almost everyone in Detroit painted them that way, and Ben was very good with airbrush but Ben and fellow painter Al Wilson decided they wanted to try painting cars using a real brush.
They got rid of the airbrush and did such a beautiful job that clients couldn't even tell the difference.
Bernie was younger than Ben, and Ben was "very encouraging." They worked together as a true team. Bernie was responsible for doing the background figures, but both artists worked together on the whole ad, going over and over how the figures should look, or how the lighting should be arranged.
(Below, a 1957 piece by Fuchs and Jaroslaw)
Ben had extremely high standards and he was very involved in the photography and the whole look of the picture. Bernie learned a great deal from him.
Ben was a fantastic golfer, and almost turned pro. He taught Bernie how to golf (including his trademark swing) and continued to play golf all his life. Bernie thinks Ben was never sure he made the right choice in picking illustration over golf.
(Below, two ads by Ben Jaroslaw, both from 1960)
After Bernie left Detroit for New York, Ben stayed in Detroit and became involved in sales and management of The Art Group, the studio that Ben, Bernie and a few other artists founded.

Interesting to see the boat in the background on that last image. That's the National Park Service boat, Ranger III, which is still in service taking visitors across Lake Superior to Isle Royale National Park.ReplyDelete
Actually, the studio was Art Group & Artstaff. My first job in the business was there in 1964 as a mat room apprentice working for minimum wage which at the time was $1.25/hr. Great foundation for my now 50 year career in advertising as both an art director and illustrator.--Big Al Gruswitz, http://www.boundless-creativity.comReplyDelete
I worked for Ben Jaroslaw too at ArtStaff (and yes, it was originally ArtGroup) as an Illustrator from 1984 - 1994. It was an amazing experience to work there producing art for the big ad agencies. Ben was an amazing artist with an unbelievable eye. By this time he was "off the board" as it were and assumed the role of representative.ReplyDelete
You can see some of the work I did there on my website at www.gerrymonteleon.com particularly the Chevy truck stuff.

When a student decides to continue his or her education, then everything changes and becomes very complicated. It is the time when a student must be sure in his choice of profession and be careful in searching of the future higher educational establishment. All the procedures which are connected with education are very complicated and difficult. Some time ago it was almost impossible to find proper higher educational establishment. The reason lies in the fact that there was no time to find it as students were to run from one college to another and from one university to another in order to be applied to the institution. And it was a great success if you took the program which you wanted. But the world doesn't stay and it moves further. With the invention of high electronic devices the search and application to the higher educational establishment has become more convenient. Nowadays there are a lot of online institutions which can give a proper education. These accredited online colleges and universities can provide different degrees in different fields. And after finishing such higher educational establishments you can be sure that you will get a good education and a good job in future.
Some years ago high school graduates and those people who worked but they needed a degree, were able to obtain the degree in two traditional ways. They could achieve their associate's, bachelors or master's degrees by attending the traditional full-time courses in the colleges or in the universities. They also had an opportunity to obtain the degree by taking the program in distance education courses by post or by mail. These kinds of education have a lot of advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the education obtained in the college or university by taking the traditional courses gives the one hundred percent proper education which is appreciated by employers. But on the other hand these programs require a lot of time and efforts. Besides a lot of students don't manage to do all the assignments and tasks. In such cases the majority of students stop their education. They also often quit because they don't have enough resources to pay for their education or they don't have ability to take the program which they want in a college or university near their home.
But with the invention and introduction of different accredited online higher educational establishments it has become much more convenient and available to start and finish the education. In the last few years the majority of students begin to demand the online degree programs. As the result in last decade the number of students who would like to obtain the degree through the accelerated online colleges or universities has increased from some thousands in 1994-1995 to more than 120,000 in 2003. This huge number indicates the convenience and ease of the online degree programs in the accredited online colleges and universities.
The information of the government states the fact that in the middle 90s there were only 84 accredited online universities in the United States. But this number increased to 1200 accredited online universities which provide different online degree programs. Nowadays there are a lot of different online programs in different fields and they are available for all students who would like to get a degree by the online degree programs. The greatest advantage of the online degree programs is that the students can take not only one program. If the person has an opportunity to pay great attention to studies, then he or she can take more than one program and study simultaneously by two or more programs.
Another great advantage of the online degree program is that that the person can retrench a lot of money. The sum of money which is paid for the study by the online degree program in most cases covers everything from course material to online coaching and examination fees. When a person is getting his or her degree by the online degree program, then he or she studies at home sitting at the computer which has a connection to the Internet. In this case a lot of money is saved as he or she doesn't need to expend money on the way to the university or college. Besides the online degree programs provide a student with the flexible schedule. This gives students an opportunity to study in any time in which they wish or can study. These programs are very convenient for people who are lack of time or abilities to study by taking the full-time courses. They provide a person with the opportunity to choose the time when he or she can pay attention to studies.
With the involvement and the development of the internet, the searching of the online degree programs has become easier. Nowadays the number of the accredited online colleges and universities, which provide students with the online degree programs, increased and people can find the online higher educational establishment in almost all corners of the world. As the result of the contribution of such establishments, a lot of people try to take the online degree program, and this leads to the displacement of the traditional education. Nowadays more and more traditional higher educational establishments have become empty and have lost their prestige.
This article provides potential students with the information about accredited online higher educational establishments. Here you can find a lot of facts which describe the advantages and disadvantages of the online degree programs and the accredited online colleges and universities. This information can suggest you on the idea how to manage to do your future life successful. If you are very busy and you don't have time to study by the full-time courses in the traditional universities or colleges, if you have a job and you need to obtain a higher degree, if you have a family and children but you want to get a good education or if you just want to study in comfortable conditions, then the online degree program which is provided by the accredited online colleges or universities is the right choice for you. This is the opportunity to get a proper education and then to get a good job. While studying by the online degree program you can do a lot of things simultaneously with studies. So if you understand that this program is the best choice for you, then your aim is to find a proper accredited online college or university and start your education.

Shia LaBeouf Goes Full-Frontal and Daniel Radcliffe Lip-Syncs in These New Music Videos
Do you like music videos? Do you like short films? Do you like music videos that play like short films featuring big-name A-list Hollywood talent? If you answered yes to these questions, you're going to enjoy this post.
We come bearing gifts today – presents in the form of two new music videos. The first, a lengthy treatise from Sigur Ros entitled Fjogur Piano, features Shia LaBeouf in a way we've never (thankfully) seen him before: doing full-frontal nudity. The second is a more restrained, but no less entertaining piece by Slow Club featuring everyone's favorite wizard Daniel Radcliffe in a starring role.
We're not really sure what's up with Shia LaBeouf lately, but the young performer has been busying himself with odd projects (like his self-drawn comic books) in what sort of seems like an attempt to re-establish his artistic credibility after appearing in tons of big-budget Hollywood films.
If that's the case, he's gone the Michael Fassbender route in Fjogur Piano – a nearly 8-minute music video that features LaBeouf naked, performing interpretive dance, painting on a woman's bare breasts, and sucking on a lollipop. The piece feels more like a glossy student film than a modern music video, but it's not without its charms. It's a little pretentious to be sure, but some of the imagery is striking even if you're never sure what it all really means.
Apparently, even Sigur Ros bassist Georg Holm was initially perplexed by the piece, saying "At first I didn't know what to make of the video, because it is so full of ideas and confusion, but now I completely love it. It seems to have no beginning and no end, and just makes you think about what might and might not be going on. It's a puzzle and I think it's absolutely amazing."
Amazing might be overstating it a bit, but have a peek and decide for yourself.
Obviously, this is Not Safe For Work.
Meanwhile, Daniel Radcliffe keeps all of his clothes on (he's already done the full monty while headlining Equus) as the star of Slow Club's new track Beginners.
While not quite as "artsy" as the Sigur Ros piece, this video does feature Radcliffe looking like he's moving far away from the role of the famous boy wizard in the films based on JK Rowling's popular books.
Shot in one continuous take, Beginners features Radcliffe lip-syncing along (although he's totally off the lyrics) as he glares and glowers his way through a bar.
Radcliffe is a huge fan of the band and interviewed them when he guest edited an issue of Time Out magazine. The band was apparently impressed by how big a fan the star was, and they figured it couldn't hurt to ask him if he'd be interested in starring in the video when the time came around. Radcliffe jumped at the chance and the rest is history.
Sounds like a win-win situation to us – Radcliffe gets to work with one of his favorite bands, and Slow Club gets the added exposure of having people watch their latest video because it features a Hollywood celebrity in the leading role. Check it out and let us know what you think. [via The Guardian]

What do you guys think about this synth? I personally think it sounds pretty cool, but I'm not that familiar with mono-analog synths. I hear sometimes people say it's not really a Moog cause it was made for Radioshack. I just won it for $330 shipped but, seems the contacts or pots are dirty cause it was described as sometimes not making sound. Seller has no feedback as well. This was just an impulse buy, but hopefully everything turns out ok.
Bad buy or good buy? assuming everything turns out ok.. that is..

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Dow and S&P 500 advanced on Thursday, with the benchmark S&P index on track for its first seven-day streak of gains in over six years as solid economic data managed to outweigh a steep decline in Apple shares.
Apple Inc dropped 10.4 percent to $460.69 after the technology giant missed Wall Street's revenue forecast for a third straight quarter as iPhone sales were poorer than expected, lending credence to recent concerns its days as the dominant player in consumer electronics may be on the wane.
The drop wiped out roughly $50 billion in Apple's market capitalization to $432 billion, leaving the company vulnerable to losing its status as the most valuable U.S. company to second place ExxonMobil Corp, at $417 billion.
A trio of economic reports helped buoy the market, with data showing a decline in weekly jobless claims and an increase in manufacturing, while a gauge of future economic activity climbed.
"The claims numbers are clearly a big surprise and were very good numbers - they imply we may have a good employment number for the month of January," said Hugh Johnson, chief investment officer of Hugh Johnson Advisors LLC in Albany, New York.
"You have Apple and technology on the one side and the rest of the market on the other side."
The gains marked the first time the S&P 500 had risen above 1,500 since December 12, 2007 and put the index on pace for its seventh straight advance, its longest streak since October 2006.
The advance for the S&P, and muted declines in the Nasdaq in spite of the decline in Apple, were viewed as a positive sign, as investors take encouragement from an improving global economy and move into stocks more closely tied to economic fortunes, such as industrials.
General Electric rose 0.5 percent to $22.06 and United Parcel Service gained 2.4 percent to $82.30. Of the 10 major S&P sectors, only technology, off 1.5 percent, was lower.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 58.82 points, or 0.43 percent, to 13,838.15. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 1.78 points, or 0.12 percent, to 1,496.59. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 14.25 points, or 0.45 percent, to 3,139.42.
The domestic data meshed with those overseas showing growth in Chinese manufacturing accelerated to a two-year high this month and a buoyant Germany took the euro zone economy a step closer to recovery.
Apple's disappointing results drew a round of price-target cuts from brokerages. At least 14 brokerages, including Barclays Capital, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank, cut their price target on the stock by $142 on average. Morgan Stanley removed the stock from its 'best ideas' list.
In contrast to Apple, Netflix Inc surprised Wall Street Wednesday with a quarterly profit after the video subscription service added nearly 4 million customers in the U.S. and abroad. Shares surged 37.6 percent to $142.10, its biggest percentage jump ever.
Diversified U.S. manufacturer 3M Co reported a 3.9 percent rise in profit, meeting expectations, on solid growth in sales of its wide array of products, which range from Post-It notes to films used in television screens. The shares slipped 0.2 percent to $99.28.
Corporate earnings have helped drive the recent stock market rally. Thomson Reuters data through early Thursday showed that of the 133 S&P 500 companies that have reported earnings, 66.9 percent have exceeded expectations, above the 65 percent average over the past four quarters.

The Leavenworth County Commission Monday heard from its director of public works about the need to overhaul some of its road standards.
The Leavenworth County Commission Monday heard from its director of public works about the need to overhaul some of its road standards. However, according to Mike Spickelmier, that overhaul is not likely to arrive in the near future, due in part to other projects that the department already has on its plate. The discussion arose from the commission's consideration of the minutes from its last meeting, during which they discussed the possibility of public works building a gravel road for a county subdivision, provided that the developers pay the material and engineering costs. Spickelmier said that sort of arrangement is permitted under the county's policy on local service roads, which provides a process to surface roads in the county that have been existence for a specified period of time but have fallen out of compliance with county standards. After fielding questions on why the policy allowed in this case a developer to construct a gravel road instead of a chip-sealed road, Spickelmier said it was likely because of the small number of homes to be located there, but also used the topic as a segue. "We definitely feel like we need to update our standards," he said. The department has plenty of ideas to improve the road standards. But Spickelmier said time is the main barrier — the department is currently focusing a lot of its efforts on the newly expanded participatory road program. "You're talking a couple hundred page document to just go through and comb through and clean up and modernize," he said. "We just don't have the ability to dedicate two months of staff time specifically to this task." Commission Chairman John Flower asked if the department could hire a consultant to do that same review. Spickelmier said yes, though probably not cost-effectively. "You're going to pay twice as much money for what you need," he said. In the meantime, Spickelmier said he does not believe that updating those standards is critical right now. "If we saw the economy start to heat up like it did in the middle of the last decade, yeah, we would want to make sure that we had our regulations prepared to meet those needs," he said, adding that if the department sees a need to undertake that work, they will come forward.

Note: This article was first published March 1, 2012, by US Catholic.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's decision to let the people decide on same-sex marriage may not work out quite the way he, or the Catholic Church, had hoped it would.
A new Quinnipiac poll released today shows that voter support for same-sex marriage in New Jersey has reached a new high, with 57 percent of those polled saying they support legal recognition of gay marriage. Among white Catholics, 52 percent say they support same-sex marriage while 43 percent are opposed.
First, a little background: New Jersey is one of several states that recognize same-sex civil union partnerships. In 2009 the legislature attempted to pass a same-sex marriage bill before Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat who supported the initiative, left office after losing to Republican Christie, a Catholic who promised to veto such a bill. The state's five dioceses and the N.J. Knights of Columbus launched a campaign against the bill, which ultimately failed to get the needed votes to make it to Corzine's desk before he left office.
But the bill came back and last month it passed the legislature. And as promised, Christie issued his veto and called for a state referendum on the issue.
Christie was no doubt counting on the fact that voters have in every case turned down proposals for legalizing same-sex marriage or approved efforts to limit the definition of marriage to being only between a man and a woman. In the states where gay marriage is recognized it has always been the legislature, not a popular vote, that has made the decision.
But the tide may be turning. Last month, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life released a new study showing a nationwide increase in support for same-sex marriage rights in 2011. Overall 46 percent of Americans said they support legal marriage rights for same-sex couples, up from 42 percent a year earlier. Among religious groups, Catholics are one of the largest supporters, with 52 percent saying they support same-sex marriage (up from 46 percent in 2010) and only 37 percent saying they are opposed (down from 42 percent).
That's no doubt troubling news for church leaders who have poured a great deal of time and effort into the issue. In New Jersey, the bishops have focused on trying to explain the church's teaching on marriage to convince the Catholic faithful that God's plan for marriage doesn't include same-sex partnerships. Other bishops, including Archbishop John Nienstedt in St. Paul-Minneapolis, where $650,000 was spent last year on efforts opposing same-sex marriage, have also made marriage a priority issue. And as Kristen Hannum reports in our March cover story, those efforts have not yielded the results the church was hoping for.
Catholic leaders have taken a two-pronged approach on marriage, both trying to offer a faith perspective on the issue and to mobilize members of the church to take political action. But if the poll numbers are accurate, the church's attempts aren't working and in fact more Catholics (and Americans in general) are drifting in the other direction.
Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, a Catholic who struggled to balance her public role with her private faith on the issue, is among those who came to the conclusion that what her church and the state each call "marriage" are two very different things. "I have always been uncomfortable with the position that I have taken publicly," Gregoire said in January shortly before signing a bill to legalize gay marriage in her state. "And then I came to realize the religions can decide what they want to do but it is not OK for the state to discriminate."
It seems that more and more Catholics are coming to the same conclusion that what the church teaches on marriage shouldn't influence how the state defines legal partnerships between consenting adults. If the church's leaders hope to reverse that trend, it looks like they're going to need a new strategy.

That's what San Francisco is doing with a revised building code that will require all new structures to have wiring for EV chargers. The new code is just one of a handful of reasons why the city is set to lead the EV pack, according to a recent article in the New York Times.
Another thing the Bay Area has on its side: it can lay claim to Silicon Valley-based EV-related companies like Coulomb Technologies, Better Place, and Tesla Motors. The increased visibility of green cars has already led to a boom in hybrid car sales — in Berkeley, one in every 5 cars sold in a Prius. Rest assured the area will also be quick to latch on to the plug-in hybrid Prius when it is released.
When the EV onslaught begins, local utilities will have to be prepared for the rise in electricity usage. PG&E's pilot smart charging project, scheduled to begin later this year, should help with the process by connecting 200 EVs to charging stations where the utility can control electrical demand.
A fully-functional smart grid will be key to making sure that power outages don't occur as a result of the entire Bay Area trying to plug in their EVs at the same time after work. But that's one of the disadvantages of being an earlier adopter — San Francisco will have to work out the kinks of EV charging. Still, someone has to do it, and the tech-savvy Bay Area might just be the best place.

The man watching the tax man has raised concerns about the way some taxpayers are selected for much-feared audits of their tax affairs.
The inspector-general of taxation, Ali Noroozi, is about to review so-called "risk engines" used by the Australian Tax Office (ATO) to determine whether audit targets are selected by computer programs or ATO staff.
He has told ABC's AM that some feel the right taxpayers are not being targeted.
"We have had [taxpayers from] across the board, right from the very large to the very small, saying that perhaps this risk-identification process, or this risk engine, is not yielding the right results," he said.
Listen to the interview with Ali Noroozi broadcast on AM.
"In other words, some of those that have been identified feel that they're not risky enough to have been identified or practitioners feel sometimes that they have not identified the right taxpayers."
Mr Noroozi says the ATO compares incomes and deductions to the average to determine if there needs to be a closer look at a business.
"Let's say if you're a coffee shop for example with a turnover of a certain amount, they would expect you to have reported income of this much and perhaps this level of deductions. If you fall outside of that range, you may well be selected for the Tax Office to have a further look at," he said.
Mr Noroozi says it is important for the taxation system to have greater transparency.
"I think taxpayers want to understand how that risk engine works, but one of the things I think taxpayers take a lot of comfort from the work of this office, is that I can shed light on what they sometimes see as a black box of the Tax Office," he said.
"How much is computer-based, how much of it is human interaction is something that will come to the fore when I conduct a full review."
Mr Noroozi says the issue of delays in tax returns needs to be looked at.
"The Tax Office is on record as saying that some of it [the delay] is due to their more improved IT systems, where they are capturing more people, based on different indicators on their system," he said.
"So it needs to be looked at and [we need to] find out why - is it really because these refunds were held up for good reason and whether those delays were reasonable."

CJ has played well
Crawford has interestingly only gotten like 12 minutes.
Marco just as interestingly has been given 20 min already. His box score will show a poor shooting night, but a lot of those were in and outs. he played inspired ball, especially on defense.
Beans did the best he could, which is pretty good. With BOTH turiaf and wright out, what could we have expected against this tall ass team?
so basically we're just getting murdered inside, with no stops coming on D besides when we get steals.

gekkko needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 82 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
I need a logo for a personal blog. The blog is mostly about Entrepreneurship and traveling and how to combine both.
Gecko: because I love geckos and they can adapt to every habitat they are put in.
360: because of the traveling part (360 degrees for the globe)
The logo should be based on a gecko (lizard) character but I'm open for every ideas you can have.
My original idea was a gecko with a backpack and a walking stick but like I said before, surprise me if you want.
2d character like : http://fr.fotolia.com/id/7235741
or just the form like :http://www.hackwriters.com/images/gecko.jpg http://www.magical-tricks.com/gecko.jpg
are both fine
If you look for gecko on the internet, you are going to see that there's a lot of different species but I would prefer if you stick with the following: green, brown or leopard.
The name of the blog ("Gecko360") should be included but I need to be able to separate the name and character if necessary without altering the design.
A vector format and photoshop are required
The background color of the blog is #EBEBEB but the logo should work with different background colors too.
The logo is for the blog header so it needs to work in larger size as well as smaller ones (height : 150 px).

In the years that I've been a web developer, I have written very few OOP PHP scripts. I just haven't had the need to, and to be honest the whole OOP concept seemed like something I didn't need to bother with. Why do I need to write a script in an object-oriented style and how will it help me? I had seen examples and read tutorials about OOP (some horribly bad and some really good) but never had any desire to try it myself until one day when I was working on a couple of different projects that both needed the same thing, pagination.
Pagination just means numbering pages. In the project that I was working on, I was retrieving large amounts of data from a MySQL database and realized that I would have to break the data up into pages for two main reasons, 1) there was so much data that it could hang the browser when it was loading and 2) from a user perspective (we still care about that right?) it was unruly to say the least. If I was returning 50,000 rows from a database query, I knew that I would need to slice that up into more manageable chunks. Now in the past, I had written basic pagination functions to handle this type of issue and sometimes copied and pasted functions from older scripts to cut down on development time, fixing and re-coding where necessary. But I realized that for this new project I could try to write a pagination class that I would be able to just plug into any script and have it do the pagination for me. I could write a pagination class that I could use for my projects and future projects, and learn OOP in the process. I love killing two birds with one stone.
Which brings me to our pagination class (paginator.class.php). Now I'm not claiming to be the first person to write a pagination class — far from it. But I do feel that this one is the most lightweight, feature-rich, and easy to use that I've seen. For an example of the pagination class in action, click here.
To download the pagination class, click here.
Update (Aug 4, 2009): Some of you have asked for more examples of the PHP pagination class I wrote, specifically the same examples I'm using here on the site. The database comes from MySQL's free example databases available at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/#sampledb (my example uses the world database). The two examples I use here can be seen at http://www.catchmyfame.com/paginator/example.php and http://www.catchmyfame.com/paginator/example-form.php. You can download both PHP files in a zip file. You'll need to setup the database yourself and fill in the example PHP files with your database info. Don't forget to grab the sample database from MySQL.
Update (Oct 25, 2011): Version 2 now available for download. See here for more info. Note that the examples on this page still use an older version of the class.
In the example below, you can see the paginator used at the top and bottom of the database query.
In this example, you can see the mid range property which creates a range of pages around the current page and the use of … to distinguish the break between contiguous pages
In this example you can see the optional items per page drop down menu
In this example you can see the optional page jump menu
In this example we see how the previous and next buttons are sensitive to what the current page is.
This example shows how when there are less than 11 pages to display that the previous, next, and all links are not shown
This example shows an alternate styling of the pagination results. By default a Digg-like CSS scheme is used however you can style the menu in limitless ways
The paginator class allows you to easily generate page numbers and restrict database results without having to create complex pagination code of your own.
- Easy to use and reuse.
- Dynamically creates page numbers based on the total number of items in a query and the desired number of items per page.
- Ability to select a number of pages to display around the currently select page.
- Links to show all results instead of paginated results.
- Easily styled via CSS.
- Returns SQL which can be used to modify the results in query.
- The items per page can be changed by the user using a build in method which generates a simple drop down menu.
- A 'jump to page' menu can be generated to give the user quick access to jump to any page of the results.
- Creates 'previous' and 'next' buttons when more than 10 pages are generated.
- $items_per_page – The desired number of items to be shown on a page. If you use this and the display_items_per_page method at the same time, it will override anything the user chooses from the drop down menu created by display_items_per_page.
- $items_total – The total number of items you'll be paginating. Typically set by querying a table for a count of rows.
- $current_page – The page the user is viewing. Will always be an integer >= 1.
- $num_pages – The total number of pages as generated by the paginator method.
- $mid_range – The number of pages to show 'around' the current page. See step 5 in How To Use below.
- $low – The offset to use in a SQL LIMIT statement (e.g. SELECT * FROM employees LIMIT 20,10).
- $high – The number of rows to select in a SQL LIMIT statement (e.g. SELECT * FROM employees LIMIT 20,10).
- $limit – A string used in an SQL statement to automatically handle the limiting of results based on the current page of results.
- $return – A string used to store the HTML containing the page numbers.Used in the display_pages method.
- $default_ipp = 25 – The default number of items to display per page.
- Paginator. Constructor. Usage:
$pages = new Paginator;
- paginate. Calculates pages to display. Usage:
- display_items_per_page. Returns a string of HTML used to display an items per page menu. Usage:
echo $pages->display_items_per_page();
- display_jump_menu. Returns a string of HTML used to display a page jump menu. Usage:
echo $pages->display_jump_menu();
- display_pages. Returns a string of HTML used to display the pages generated by the paginator
method. Usage:
echo $pages->display_pages();
How to use:
- Include paginator.class.php at the top of your script
require_once 'paginator.class.php';Note: You could use include(), include_once(), or require() however using require_once ensures that the class will only be included once and if it can't be found, will cause a fatal error.
- Set the total number of items that you'll be paginating.There are two ways to do this, 1) you can hard code the total, but that's unrealistic since you'll probably be using this class to paginate a database anyway (the whole point no?) but it can be a convenient way of testing or 2) make a quick call to your database to count the items you'll be paginating. Ex: 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table' and save the total in a variable for use in step 4.
$pages->items_total = $num_rows;
- Create a new Paginator object.
$pages = new Paginator;
- Set the total items property of this new Paginator object.
$pages->items_total = Xwhere X is the total from step 2
- Set the mid range property.The mid range is the number of pages that the paginator will display, centered around and including the selected page. For example, if the mid range is set to seven ($pages->mid_range = 7;) then when browsing page 50 of 100, the mid range generates links to pages 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, and 53. The mid range moves in relation to the selected page. If the user is at either the low or high end of the list of pages, it will slide the range toward the other side to accommodate the position. For example, if the user visits page 99 of 100, the mid range will generate links for pages 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, and 100.
$pages->mid_range = X;where X is odd and >=3. The default mid_range property is 7.
- That's all for the configuration, now you can generate page numbers. To paginate, call the pagination method ($pages->paginate();). This generates no output so to show the page numbers call the display method ($pages->display_pages();).
You MUST call the paginate method before calling the display method. You can call the display method more than once which can be handy for display page numbers both above and below a result set.
echo $pages->display_pages();
- Optionally, you can give the visitor features in addition to what is provided by the display method.
- A drop down page jump menu is available via the display_jump_menu method (echo $pages->display_jump_menu();). This is a simple select menu that lists all page numbers. When a user changes the page number, the page will automatically switch to the selected page.
- A drop down items per page menu is available via the display_items_per_page method(echo $pages->display_items_per_page();). This select menu allows visitors to change the number of items that are displayed on a page. By default, the list it generates is 10, 25, 50, 100, All. You can modify the class if needed to allow for other options however the All options is case-sensitive. Note that the drop down menu that this creates will not work if you also set the $items_per_page property. Using both at the same time doesn't really make sense anyway
- Once the paginate method has been called (see step 6), you can execute your db query to fetch the limited result set (or all results). Paginate creates the SQL used to limit results automatically so you can edit your query to take advantage of this. For example, if your query before pagination was
SELECT id, name, address FROM table ORDER BY id ASCyou would change it to be
SELECT id, name, address FROM table ORDER BY id ASC $pages->limitWhen a user selects the 'All' option, they effectively set $pages->limit to nothing and any page selected automatically creates the appropriate limit.
- Styles. The pagination class has been created so that it can be styles with CSS easily. The recommended CSS is

US immigration bill knot: Citizenship path
WASHINGTON (AP) — As Congress wrestles with immigration legislation, a central question is whether the 11 million immigrants already in the United States illegally should get a path to citizenship.
The answer from a small but growing number of Republicans who control the House of Representatives is "yes," just as long as it's not the "special" path advocated by Democrats and passed by the Senate.
Many House Republicans say people who illegally crossed the border or overstayed their visas should not be rewarded with a special, tailor-made solution that awards them a prize of American citizenship, especially when millions are waiting in line to attempt the process through current legal channels. But some party members disagree, and have demographics in their favor: Republicans lost the Hispanic vote badly in the 2012 elections, and the largest U.S. minority group will only continue to grow.
Once Congress returns from its summer break the week of Sept. 9, the focus will be on the House. The Democratic-controlled Senate in June passed a far-reaching bill that includes a big, new investment in border security and remakes the system for legal immigration system, in addition to creating a 13-year path to citizenship for those already here illegally.
House Republicans have rejected the Senate approach, promising to proceed instead with narrowly focused bills, starting with border security. No action is expected on the House floor until late autumn, at earliest, because of pressing fiscal deadlines that must be dealt with first.
The timing crunch, along with the significant policy and process disagreements, has left some supporters pessimistic about the future of immigration legislation. They find hope, however, in some recent comments from House Republicans suggesting they could support a solution that ends in citizenship at least for some who now lack legal status.
"There should be a pathway to citizenship — not a special pathway and not no pathway," Rep. Jason Chaffetz told ABC 4 Utah after speaking at a recent town hall meeting in his district. "But there has to be a legal, lawful way to go through this process that works, and right now it doesn't."
It's far from clear, however, what a path to citizenship that's not a special path to citizenship might look like, or how many people it might help.
The phrase means different things to different people, and a large number of House Republicans oppose any approach that results in citizenship for people now are in the country illegally. Some lawmakers say such immigrants should be permitted to attain legal worker status, but stop there and never progress to citizenship. That's a solution Democrats reject.
Nonetheless, advocates searching for a way ahead on one of President Barack Obama's second-term priorities see in the "no special path to citizenship" formulation the potential for compromise.
"I think there's a lot of space there," said Clarissa Martinez, director of civic engagement and immigration at the National Council of La Raza. "And that's why I'm optimistic that once they start grappling more with details, that's when things start getting more real."
Democrats, some Republicans and most outside immigration advocates are pushing for a relatively straightforward path to citizenship like the one in the Senate.
It imposes certain restrictions, seeks payment of fees, fines and taxes, and requires that prospective immigrants attempting the process legally are dealt with first. Once those criteria are met, most people here illegally could get permanent resident green cards in 10 years, and citizenship in three more. Agriculture workers and immigrants brought to this country as children would have a quicker path.
That approach is rejected by most House Republicans as a "special" path to citizenship.
"It's not a bill I can support," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlattesaid at a Virginia town hall meeting recently. "We think a legal status in the United States, but not a special pathway to citizenship, might be appropriate."
Goodlatte has said that after attaining legal status, immigrants could potentially use the existing avenues toward naturalization, such as family or employment ties.
He and others also argue that many immigrants would be satisfied with legalization alone, without getting citizenship. That's something many advocates dispute, though studies show that a significant number of immigrants who are eligible for citizenship haven't taken that step — about 40 percent in a Pew Hispanic Center study in February.
Goodlatte has not provided much detail on how he foresees immigrants moving through existing channels from legalization to citizenship. Depending on its design, such an approach could touch anywhere from hundreds of thousands to many millions of the 11 million people here illegally. So if House Republicans end up taking that approach, how they craft it would help determine whether Democrats and the advocacy groups could go along.

The 49ers couldn't lose. The Browns couldn't win. The Vikings were the sleepers. The Jets were the snorers.
In the ever-changing NFL, though, that was . . . so last week.
Everything was turned on its head Sunday — or knocked on its backside, as was San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith. He was sacked five times in a shocking 26-3 loss at home to the New York Giants.
Cleveland, which entered the weekend as the only winless team, halted an 11-game losing streak with a 34-24 win over Cincinnati, the Browns' first victory over an AFC North opponent in nine tries.
"It was fun to see guys jumping around and happy," said Cleveland kicker Phil Dawson, noting several of his teammates were new to the sensation of winning an NFL game. "They never had that feeling before and it was great to see."

Red Wine Named Top Alcohol Trigger
While some people may enjoy a drink or two as a way to lift their spirits or relax and unwind, many rosacea patients find that alcohol simply adds to their stress level by causing an outbreak of signs and symptoms.
Alcohol is a rosacea trigger for nearly 76 percent of those responding to a new National Rosacea Society survey of 353 rosacea patients, and red wine is by far the most likely to trigger a flare-up. More than 72 percent of the survey respondents said red wine had caused their rosacea to flare up, followed by white wine, cited by 49 percent, and beer, named by 42 percent.
Other types of alcoholic beverages that were named as rosacea triggers included vodka, mentioned by 28 percent; champagne, cited by 25 percent; whiskey and rum, both named by 22 percent; tequila, 20 percent; liqueurs, 17 percent; and malt liquor, 11 percent.
It doesn't usually take much to bring on signs of a flare-up, according to the survey results. Thirty-one percent of the respondents said it takes one drink to trigger an outbreak, while the same percentage said it takes only half a drink and 15 percent said it takes only a sip or two. Twenty-one percent reported they can drink two drinks before triggering a flare-up, and 12 percent said it takes more than two.
Most respondents (76 percent) reported an immediate onset of symptoms, but 10 percent said the outbreak is not apparent until later that day and 14 percent said the flare-up begins the next day.
The majority of those answering the survey said they avoid or limit their intake of alcohol because of their rosacea, although some said they have determined which spirits cause an outbreak and steer clear of only those particular types. More than three-quarters of those who said they avoid or curtail their alcohol consumption reported that this has helped to reduce their rosacea flare-ups.
