I am oooh so dissapointed in myself...My usual two weekly slot had to jump forward a week as holiday plans were getting in the way. I had knuckled down, learnt all three movements of this Oboe Sonata in under a week...(it wasn't particularly difficult) so I thought "yes thats not bad in 6 days", "all the notes are there and its ornamented"..."I take it along and play it"...well Lordy Lordy Go tell it on the Mountain, did the wheels ever fall off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Apparantly rythmically I was correct but my trills were starting half a beat to early (all of them...wretched Baroque trills). Add to that I was, for some bizzare reason accelarating in the runs which as we all know is absolutely spankable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) and simply not the done thing...What was I thinking I have no idea, what was I doing...I thought I had nailed it but NO, quite the contray. yes I had the notes I knew the piece but I broke the rules from a Baroque standpoint and my performance was undone...It was very frustrating. My teacher was lovely about it but as she said "Rules is Rules" and particularly in Baroque they are pretty rigid...
So there you go, tongue in cheek rant over...I thought I had done quite well...but as we all know "Pride cometh before a Fall"... Hey ho... Andrew |

You have done well, you big twirp! You've learnt a complete sonata in a short time. Of course it isn't going to be finely tuned yet but it sounds like a good effort to me. I would be really pleased if you were my student. (And if I could play the oboe!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) Teachers are there to help when things go adrift. You'd have felt even more of a twit if it had been a public performance and the trills had been un-baroque and the runs rushed. The next sonata will be even better.

Who's your Teacher? Can they come to Manchester? Teacher is obviously trying to get you to the next level. I rather suspect it's one of those cases where she or he knows you are capable of more. Stop moaning and get on with it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

Hello Petrat, Notmusimum and Oboecop (intriguing name there)
It was so funny/irritating at the same time...there I was all confident that I could play this Sonata albeit not to perfection but I had it "Down" and would fine tune it over the next couple of weeks, it was still so fresh I was actually reading the score whilst I was playing, I hadn't committed it to memory as of yet, well not all of it. My presto should not have been Allegro, the Siciliano should have had more depth, it definitely lacked soul..and my Largo was a tad fast...the runs in the Presto went "Hoofing" along with most of the articulation but not all which is hardly a great surprise and my teacher looked fairly stunned as I played the entire Sonata...( I do a lot of practice a minimum of 3 hours a day) and in fairness she was very complimentary about my playing/control and tone but as I mentioned I fluffed (forum speak, it won't let me say what I want to say (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) the trills etc...I thought they were ok, I accentuatued the note above etc, tongued in the leading note and trilled for all I was worth, but apparantly I was puting an extra note in which was naughty and was far too interprative at times...I was way too caught up in the actual performance of the piece (Bach G minor BMV1030b) and ingnored the most basic of rules...Somebody stand me in the corner right this minute! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It was all my own doing no one to blame but myself I just got carried away, caught in the moment and made twit of myself....and I might add not for the first time... I'm not downhearted about it, it's happened, its done, I learn't from it and I WILL NAIL IT but correctly when next I see my teacher, who by the way is beyond fabulous, she never clock watches with me I am only meant to see her I guess for an hour but we always end up doing nearly two (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)...I suspect this is because I do practice a lot and get a lot done...but to my mind, why waste my money and her time...if I am going to do this then I had better put the work in...also I did hear about another pupil of my teachers who was doing post grad studies...she only lasted a month simply because she didn't put the work in and I have no intention of being asked to leave...I wouldn't know what to do...it doesn't bear thinking about so I knuckle down and work my socks off... I wasn't having a serious moan just a tongue in cheek "well that'll learn you" type laugh at myself...it keeps me perky and upbeat and makes me work even harder...but I could have kicked myself yesterday... Regards Andrew well Lordy Lordy Go tell it on the Mountain, did the wheels ever fall off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Sounds to me like you've done well despite this set back.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks Daisy...I am not going to beat myself up...its one of those things but at the time it was so frustrating and funny at the same time... |

Didn't think you were serious. I kind of know what you mean in reverse if that makes sense. Someone who does the work then isn't told to go away and improve it. Somehow it's all just meant to happen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . I suspect you might find that more frustrating long term and would be moanig for real. So what I want to know now is what improvements have you made in the last day? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

In my oboe lessons no matter how well I play my teacher will always find something to improve on if she didn't there would be no point in going to see her, I don't go to my oboe teacher to get told how brilliant everything is (which is just as well!!). If lots of things were very good about it then surely a week of practice with no input from your teacher is really good. (I know I'm basically just reitterating what everyone else has said and your probably over it now anyway but I thought I'd give you my opinion - I'm meant to be writing an essay!) |

That's probably why when one of is is going to be away I get 3 weeks between lessons and not 1 (Usual is fortnightly).

I had a blinding revelation the other evening as to one of the reasons I continually feel as though I'm just not putting enough effort in, or making the progress I think I should between lessons.. I'd just been in quite a high powered meeting at work, then came home to do some practice and was thinking "I'm never going to get this up to scratch for my lesson on Saturday". Then I contrasted it with my work situation - if I go into a meeting to present some initial analysis, we have a lot of discussion about what else needs to be done, and by the next time I present it all the suggestions, comments etc have to be incorporated and it should be pretty much perfect. But....my music doesn't quite work like that, I take a piece to a lesson, play through it, get comments on what needs working on etc then go away to work on it, and the next lesson it still won't be perfect - some of the areas that need work just need more than I can fit in between lessons. My teacher tells me she can always see progress between lessons, which is good, it's just I want to have made more progress.

This is also the problem when you stop having lessons. I can't remember the last time I perfected a piece. And the ones I have learnt since I no longer have a teacher... well, who knows if everything is as it should be...

Is that better or worse than when you go to your lesson knowing exactly what is wrong with what you are about to play (my teacher has banned me from telling him everything that is wrong before I have even played it to him, although I can still sometimes get away with a "how can I ...?" question)?
Or when you finish playing and can pinpoint yourself what was wrong? In both cases I tend to feel that since I know what is wrong I should have done something about it myself before my lesson. |

My teacher ha s a great strategy. He tells me to practice a certain piece each week and use particular bowings.
Wehn I play it to him the following week he asks me what I think I did wrong rher than just telling me. This is a great way of making a person think how they can dramatically improve a piece of music. |

When I play it to him the following week he asks me what I think I did wrong rher than just telling me. My teacher often does this and it is because he invariably says that I have an accurate view of what is wrong that I feel I ought to have been able to do something about it before coming to the lesson. |

Hard luck Andrew, I know the feeling. You want everything to go right, and then your fingers get tangled up...I think in all the lessons I've had, I've only ever had one piece where my teacher said he had nothing to say...this time round, I made plenty of mistakes, but he reckoned I played my chunk of Bach reasonably well and the last note was great...Now back to Haydn. I have to learn about bravura "in your face"/"look at me, I'm fantastic" oboe playing... it's not my natural style! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)
Still, it's all good in the learning process, at least your teacher thinks you're worth pushing on and up for some hard work. Every time I'm pushed to get things just right, it always pays off, simply because it's easier next time you have to play the piece. |

Designing for power constraints is vital these days, whether you're designing a battery operated device or a system that plugs into an outlet.
Mentor's technologies allow you to address power at every stage in the design flow – from ESL through functional verification all the way to physical implementation.
Tackling power early in the design process is ideal, but balancing power with existing requirements of system functionality, performance, and manufacturability is closer to reality.
Mentor's low power solutions were developed with partners who have successfully completed production designs so we have what it takes to do the job right. The Unified Power Format (UPF) provides the backbone to our technologies so engineers can define power based architectures, create power aware strategies, and verify low power designs throughout the TLM to GDSII flow.
Electronic System Level Design
A low power design flow that enables early, high-level exploration and tradeoffs is essential for success. Sensitivity analysis to architectural choices, software decisions, and impacts of the data sets must be all understood before RTL implementation begins. Adding implementation details leads to more accurate architectural models to verify the performance and power consumption of a system as it progresses through implementation. More on Electronic System Level Design
Power Aware Verification
Verification of correct design functionality of power requirements within the context of a power management scheme has traditionally been performed at the gate level, if at all. Defect rectification at this level is costly in terms of resource and design cycle. Today, design teams are moving to innovative techniques that enable power-aware verification at the RTL preserving traditional RTL design flows and block reusability. More on Power Aware Verification
IC Implementation
Meeting tight power constraints requires not just careful design planning, but a powerful physical implementation system with these key capabilities:
- Concurrent multi-corner, multi-mode (MCMM) optimizations for timing, power, and other design constraints across all your mode/corner scenarios
- Architectural support for advanced low power methodologies, such as multi-voltage, power gating, and DVFS
- Effective clock tree power optimization

If you do not smoke, congratulations! Don't start.
If you smoke, we hope that you are thinking about quitting. It is not easy giving up something that is so much a part of what you do everyday. However, the reward of a tobacco-free lifestyle is remarkable.
There are no magic solutions for quitting smoking. Nevertheless, if you are ready to quit, effective treatments are available that can help reduce the urge to smoke.
Check the websites of the American Cancer Society [1], the American Lung Association [2], and the American Heart Association [3] for more information and existing groups.
You can also contact a smoking cessation counselor at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Assistance is available in English and Spanish at 1-877-44U-QUIT. You can also receive confidential online counseling from NCI's Cancer Information Service by visiting LiveHelp [4]. Smokefree.gov [5] also offers web-based tools and tips to help you kick the habit.
In 2007, 12,998 people were killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Alcohol slows the brain's ability to control the body and mind. It acts like a sedative and slows down muscle coordination, reflexes, movement, and speech. If you drink too much alcohol, your breathing or heart rate can reach dangerously low levels or even stop.
If you are of legal drinking age, remember that it is your choice whether to use alcohol or not. No one should feel pressured to drink or made to feel embarrassed because of a personal choice. Drinking alcohol should not be seen as a necessary component for having fun and being with friends. If you do choose to use alcohol, do so in moderation and know your personal limits.
If you are concerned that you might have a drinking problem, seek help. You can call the nationwide help line of the American Council on Alcoholism [6] (800-527-5344) or look in the phone book for local resources, such as Alcoholics Anonymous [7]. These organizations provide expert, non-judgmental support.
Evaluate your drinking habits using the CAGE assessment [8].
According to the McKinley Health Center at the University of Illinois, healthy sex occurs when you have "CERTS," which stands for:
CERTS can help you feel more secure in your relationship and increase your level of self-esteem. Check this chart for more information about CERTS.
For more information on CERTS, visit McKinley Health Center [9].
Safety is a key part of healthy sex, including protecting yourself and your partner from unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Stay informed about the latest information on disease prevention and birth control by reading materials from the local heath department or reputable health education websites. Don't hesitate to talk to your provider as well.

It had been years since they had gotten out. But yet it felt like the same day. The cold dark, the smell of oil and sparks. The burning in her veins....then the screams that could only be her scream. Only from the thing she had become....a monster....
Avery shot up in bed, a cold sweat pouring down her face. She panted, covering her eyes as she fought to get control. She looked around the apartment, her auburn hair sticking to her face as she tried to wipe the cold sweat away. "always the same nightmare....when will it go away dad?" she said, looking the photo on the side table. It was of her and her father, a tall man with bright green eyes, same as hers. She was tall as well, thin but shapely. That had been three years ago. Now she was more muscle toned and had this nightmare as an arm....she shook her head, getting up and heading to the shower. After a hour she was ready to go, grabbing her gear and heading out the door. She wore her jeans, black blouse with a trench coat over it all and her favorite boots. The coat was always on. It was the one thing she found that could hide her arm the best. She walked out of the apartment building and headed down the street, lost in her thoughts of how her life had become like this.
Avery wasn't like other girls in the outer rim. She had once been in the main city, living the good life. Until the day her father had been hit in a rebel attack. The bomb had been planted in his coworkers office, but he had gone in first. The blast took his legs and her left arm with it for she had been with him that day, helping him in his like she always had. He was gone now, the loss of blood and his legs being too much for him. Avery felt it had been a case of wrong place at wrong time. He had saved his coworker, so to her, her father had been a hero. But her arm...that was a whole another story. But more on that later.
Avery looked at her arm, the nightmare fresh in her mind. The posion in her veins, the motor oil smell filling her nose as sparks flew around her shoulder. She made the hand into a fist, cursing quietly. Then she sighed and rubbed her shoulder. "Sorry Dad....you would be worried sick if you saw me like this..." She walked into a cafe that was a few blocks from her place, shutting the door behind her. She looked around then found a table at the back, sitting down and pulling out her phone. She was waiting for her geek to meet her. Her replacements needed to get checked out and she hoped he had an answer for the nightmares.

April 2, 2013: On April 1, the Arkansas house voted to override Governor Beebe's veto of SB 2. The senate overrode the veto on March 27.
March 25, 2013: Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe vetoed SB 2, which would have amended the state's voter ID law to be of the strict photo ID variety. The General Assembly only needs a simple majority to override a veto though, so stay tuned to what's happening in Arkansas. And in Virginina, Governor Bob McDonnell has signed two voter ID bills. SB 1256 eliminates all non-photo IDs, moving Virginia into the strict photo ID column, and requires the State Board of Elections to provide free photo IDs for voting purposes. Its effective date is July 1, 2014. HB 1337 also eliminates non-photo IDs, and harmonizes the ID requirements for state and federal elections. February 6, 2013: The Tennessee Supreme Court heard a challenge to that state's voter ID law on February 6, 2013. A ruling isn't expected for several months. October 11, 2012: A federal district court in Washington, D.C. has granted pre-clearance for South Carolina's voter ID law, but delayed implementation until 2013. The state's older, less strict ID law will remain in effect for the November 2012 election. October 2, 2012: A state judge temporarily halted enforcement of Pennsylvania's voter ID law for the November election. The judge stated that an insufficient number of IDs had been issued for voting purposes at the five-week mark preceding the election, and ordered that while poll workers can still ask voters for ID, they must allow those without ID to vote. Read the order here. There will be a status conference on December 13, 2012 to prepare for a trial on the application for a permanent injunction. September 4, 2012: The Dept. of Justice granted pre-clearance for New Hampshire's voter ID law. August 30, 2012: A federal district court in Washington, D.C. has denied pre-clearance for Texas's voter ID law. Pre-clearance was denied by the U.S. Dept. of Justice in March 2012 and Texas applied to the court for reconsideration. Any appeal of today's opinion would go to the U.S. Supreme Court.
August 22, 2012: The U.S. Department of Justice granted pre-clearance for Virginia's amendment to its voter ID law, meaning it can be used in the November election. Virginia's law is not as strict as the laws that were denied pre-clearance in South Carolina and Texas.
Thirty states presently have laws in place that will require all voters to show ID at the polls this November. That number could rise; a total of thirty-three states have passed voter ID laws. Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin presently have no voter ID requirement in place, even though laws have been enacted in those states. In Mississippi's case, the strict photo ID amendment passed by citizen initiative in November 2011 requires both implementing legislation and pre-clearance under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act before it can be implemented. Wisconsin's new strict photo ID law, passed by the legislature in 2011, was briefly in effect in early 2012, but it was declared unconstitutional by a state judge on March 12, 2012. The state is barred from enforcing the law unless an appeal overturns the March 12 ruling. Pennsylvania's new voter ID law was not in effect for the November 2012 elections and early 2013 primary elections after a state judge temporarily enjoined enforcement on October 2, 2012.
In Alabama and Texas, less-strict voter ID laws that pre-date the strict new laws passed in 2011 remain in effect for now. Alabama's new voter ID law has a 2014 effective date, and requires Section 5 pre-clearance. Texas was denied pre-clearance for their new voter ID laws by the U.S. Department of Justice; as in Alabama, an older, non-photo ID law remains in effect. Most recently, Texas's voter ID was denied pre-clearance by a federal district court. That court has deferred any further proceedings in the case until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act later in 2013.
The 33 voter ID laws that have been enacted vary in their details. Two key distinctions are whether a law is strict or not, and whether or not the ID must include a photo.
For specifics on what forms of identification are acceptable and the options available to voters who cannot present identification, see Table 2 .
Not all of the laws listed below have taken effect. Please see the footnotes for detailed information.

* New voter ID law has not yet been implemented; state presently has no voter ID law in effect.
** New voter ID law has not yet been implemented; an older voter ID law remains in effect.
(1) In Alabama and Texas, current non-photo voter ID laws stay in effect for the time being. The new photo voter ID requirements will take effect after receiving preclearance under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. Texas was denied pre-clearance in December 2011. Alabama's new photo ID law has a 2014 effective date, and the state has not yet applied for pre-clearance. The Texas law was recently denied pre-clearance for a second time by a federal court in D.C..
(2) Wisconsin's voter ID law was declared unconstitutional on March 12, 2012. Dane County Circuit Judge Richard Niess issued a permanent injunction barring enforcement of the law, which the state has said it will appeal. Read the March 6 injunction and the March 12 injunction.
(3) There are some who prefer to call Oklahoma a photo voter ID state, because most voters will show a photo ID before voting. However, Oklahoma law also permits a voter registration card issued by the appropriate county elections board to serve as proof of identity in lieu of photo ID.
(4) Rhode Island's voter ID law takes effect in two stages. The first stage, requiring a non-photo ID, took effect on January 1, 2012. On January 1, 2014, a photo ID requirement will replace the non-photo ID law.
(5) Alabama's new photo ID requirement takes effect with the 2014 statewide primary election. The new law also requires preclearance. The delayed implementation date was intended to ensure that the timing of preclearance did not occur between the primary and general elections of 2012, thus creating voter confusion.
(6) Mississippi's new voter ID law was passed via the citizen initiative process. However, the language in constitutional amendment passed by MS voters on Nov. 8 is very general, and implementing legislation will be required before the amendment can take effect. The MS provision will also require pre-clearance under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act before it can take effect. (7) A state judge temporarily blocked enforcement of Pennsylvania's new voter ID law. It will not be in effect for the November 2012 election, and a trial on its permanent status will begin after the election. (8) Virginia's strict photo ID requirement takes effect on July 1, 2014. Until then, a strict non-photo ID law remains in effect. (9) The new strict photo ID law in Arkansas will take effect on January 1, 2014, or when the funding to the Secretary of State for the issuance of free IDs for voting purposes has been appropriated and is available.
As of April 10, legislation has been introduced in a total of 30 states; this includes new voter ID proposals in 12 states, proposals to strengthen existing photo ID laws in seven states and other changes to existing photo ID laws in 11 states. View a summary of these bills.
Voter ID continued to be a high-profile issue in many state legislatures last year, with legislation introduced in 32 states. That includes new voter ID proposals in 14 states, proposals to strengthen existing voter ID laws in ten states, and bills in nine states to amend the new voter ID laws passed in 2011. New voter ID laws were passed in four states -- Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Minnesota's law required voter approval in November 2012, however, which it did not receive. Learn more about voter ID legislation introduced in 2012.
Voter ID was the hottest topic of legislation in the field of elections in 2011, with legislation introduced in 34 states. There were just three states--Oregon, Vermont and Wyoming--that didn't have a voter ID law and didn't consider voter ID legislation that year. The voter ID legislation under consideration fell into two general categories: proposals for new voter ID laws in states that didn't already require voter ID at the polls (considered in 20 states), and proposals to strengthen existing voter ID requirements in order to require photo ID at the polls (considered in 14 states). Learn more about voter ID legislation introduced in 2011.
Voter ID has been a hot topic in state legislatures over the past decade. Since 2001, nearly 1,000 bills have been introduced in a total of 46 states. Twenty-four states have passed major legislation during the period 2003-2012 (not including gubernatorial vetoes in five states in 2011), and those bills are summarized in the timeline below.
Arizona: On October 20, 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated an October 6, 2006 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that suspended Arizona's requirements pending further litigation. The ID law was in effect for Arizona's 2006 election, and remained in effect in 2008.

If the elector fails to furnish the required identification, the elector shall be allowed to vote a provisional ballot. The canvassing board shall determine the validity of the ballot by determining whether the elector is entitled to vote at the precinct where the ballot was cast and that the elector had not already cast a ballot in the election.
Florida uses signature matching: the voter signs the provisional ballot envelope. That signature is compared to the signature in the voter registration records. If they match, the ballot is counted.
Each elector shall present proper identification to a poll worker at or prior to completion of a voter's certificate at any polling place and prior to such person's admission to the enclosed space at such polling place.
If you show up to vote and you do not have one of the acceptable forms of photo identification, you can still vote a provisional ballot. You will have up to three days after the election to present appropriate photo identification at your county registrar's office in order for your provisional ballot to be counted.
Every person shall provide identification if so requested by a precinct official.

Any person who knowingly provides false, erroneous or inaccurate information on such affidavit shall be guilty of a felony.
A voter who desires to vote an official ballot at an election shall provide proof of identification.

Each voter must show a photo ID or sign an affidavit attesting that he or she is not in possession of photo identification.
An individual who does not possess, or did not bring to the polls, photo ID, may sign an affidavit and vote a regular ballot.
§23-15-563 Mississippi's voter ID law requires USDOJ pre-clearance before it can take effect.
NOTE: Mississippi's voter ID law is not in effect for the November 2012 election. An elector who votes in person in a primary or general election shall present government-issued photo identification before being allowed to vote. Voters who live and vote in a state-licensed care facility are exempt.
NOTE: Mississippi's voter ID law is not in effect for the November 2012 election. Mississippi's new constitutional amendment simply says "government-issued photo identification." Implementing legislation and/or administrative rules will be necessary to define precisely what this means.
NOTE: Mississippi's voter ID law is not in effect for the November 2012 election. An individual without ID can cast an affidavit ballot which will be counted if the individual returns to the appropriate circuit clerk within five days after the election and shows government-issued photo ID.
Voters with a religious objection to being photographed may vote an affidavit ballot, which will be counted if the voter returns to the appropriate circuit clerk within five days after the election and executes an affidavit that the religious exemption applies.
Before receiving a ballot, voters shall establish their identify and eligibility to vote at the polling place by presenting a form of personal identification.
If an individual does not possess any of these forms of identification, s/he may still cast a ballot if two supervising election judges, one from each major political party, attest they know the person.
Before an elector is permitted to receive a ballot or vote, the elector shall present to an election judge a current photo identification showing the elector's name. If the elector does not present photo identification the elector shall present one of several specified documents showing the elector's name and current address.
If the identification presented is insufficient to verify the elector's identity and eligibility to vote or if the elector's name does not appear in the precinct register, the elector may sign the precinct register and cast a provisional ballot.
Montana uses signature verification to verify the eligibility of provisional ballots. If the voter's signature on the provisional ballot affirmation matches the signature on the voter's registration record, the ballot is counted. (§13-15-107(2))
The ballot clerk shall request that the voter present a valid photo identification. If the voter does not have a valid photo identification, the ballot clerk shall inform the voter that he or she may execute a qualified voter affidavit.
Any other valid photo ID issued by federal, state, county or municipal government
Any other photo ID that is determined to be legitimate by the supervisors of the checklist, the moderator, or the town or city clerk, provided that if any person authorized to challenge a voter under RSA 659:27 objects to the use of such photo identification, the voter shall be required to execute a qualified voter affidavit as if no identification was presented.
Beginning Sept. 1, 2013, the following IDs will be accepted if the name on the ID is substantially similar to that on the voter registration record and the expiration date does not exceed five years:
A person's identity may be verified by a moderator or supervisor of the checklist or the town or city clerk, but if any person authorized to challenge a voter under RSA 659:27 objects to such verification, the voter shall be required to execute a challenged voter affidavit.
If a voter does not have a valid photo identification, the ballot clerk shall inform the voter that he or she may execute a qualified voter affidavit. The voter may then cast a regular ballot.
Within 60 days after the election, the secretary of state is required to mail a non-forwardable letter to each voter who executed a qualified voter affidavit, notifying the person that a person who did not present valid photo identification voted using his or her name and address and instruct the person to return the letter within 90 days with a written confirmation that the person voted or to contact the attorney general immediately if he or she did not vote. Any such letters returned as undeliverable must be turned over to the attorney general, who shall investigate for voter fraud. Notice from any voter receiving such a letter that s/he did not vote is also forwarded to the attorney general for investigation. The secretary must also turn over to the attorney general a list of all voters who fail to respond to the letter to confirm that they voted.
Before delivering a ballot to an individual, the poll clerks shall request the individual to show identification. Effective August 1, 2013: Poll clerks shall require that the individual show identification.
If an individual offering to vote does not have or refuses to show an appropriate form of identification, the individual may be allowed to vote without being challenged if a pollworker is able to vouch for the voter's identity and address. Otherwise, the individual may vote as a challenged voter by executing an affidavit that the challenged individual is a legally qualified elector of the precinct. Effective August 1, 2013: The affidavit process is repealed, and voters without ID are not able to vote.
All voters must provide to election officials at the polling place on the day of an election proof of the voter's identity. Also applies to voters requesting and voting an absentee ballot.
Current and valid photo identification, defined as a document that shows the individual's name and current address, includes a photograph, includes an expiration date that has not passed, and was issued by the U.S. government or the state of Ohio
A voter who has but declines to provide identification may cast a provisional ballot upon providing a social security number or the last four digits of a social security number. A voter who has neither identification nor a social security number may execute an affidavit to that effect and vote a provisional ballot. A voter who declines to sign the affidavit may still vote a provisional ballot.
Voters who cast a provisional ballot because they did not provide acceptable proof of identity must appear in person at the board of elections to provide such proof within the 10 days immediately following Election Day. (see the Ohio Secretary of State's FAQ on provisional voting)
Each person appearing to vote shall provide proof of identity.
"Proof of identity" shall mean a document that satisfies the following:
A voter registration card issued by the appropriate county elections board may serve as proof of identity without meeting all of the above requirements. An ID card issued to a person who is aged 65 or older and is valid indefinitely shall suffice for voting purposes. Effective Nov. 1, 2013: ID cards issued by the U.S. Armed Forces will also be accepted for voting purposes.
A person who declines or is unable to produce proof of identity may sign a statement under oath swearing or affirming that the person is the person identified on the precinct registry and cast a provisional ballot.
Information provided by a person who votes a provisional ballot shall be investigated by the secretary of the county election board after the election. A provisional ballot shall be counted only if it is cast in the precinct of the voter's residence and if evidence of the provisional voter's valid voter registration, or of the voter's identity, is found. (§26-7-116.1)
Effective Nov. 1, 2013: A provisional ballot cast by a voter who declines or is unable to produce proof of identity shall only be considered verified and approved for counting if the voter's name, residence address, date of birth, and driver's license number or last four digits of social security number as provided on the affidavit match what is in the registration database.

A voter who is indigent and unable to obtain proof of identification without payment of a fee must submit an affirmation that he or she is the same person who appeared to vote on election day and that he or she is indigent in the same time frame and manner as described above.
Rhode Island
NOTE: RI's new voter ID law takes effect in two stages. The first stage took effect on Jan. 1, 2012. The second stage will require photo ID beginning Jan. 1, 2014.
Any person claiming to be a registered and eligible voter who desires to vote at a primary, special or general election shall provide proof of identity.
Effective Jan. 1, 2012:
A valid and current document showing a photo of the person to whom it was issued, including:

The local board shall determine the validity of the provisional ballot pursuant to section 17-19-24.3.
Summary of section 17-19-24.3:
The local board shall examine each provisional ballot application to determine if the signature matches the signature on the voter's registration. If the signatures match, the provisional ballot shall count. If the signatures do not match, the ballot shall not count and shall be rejected as illegal.
When a person presents himself to vote, he shall produce a valid and current ID.
Voters who have a reasonable impediment to obtaining photo ID may show a non-photo voter registration card in lieu of photo ID, sign an affidavit attesting to the impediment, and cast a provisional ballot.
If you have a reasonable impediment to obtaining Photo ID, you may vote a provisional ballot after showing your non-photo voter registration card. A reasonable impediment is any valid reason, beyond your control, which created an obstacle to obtaining Photo ID. Some examples include:
To vote under the reasonable impediment exception:
Present your current, non-photo registration card at the polling place
Sign an affidavit stating why you could not obtain a Photo ID
Cast a provisional ballot that will be counted unless the county election commission has reason to believe your affidavit is false.
If you do NOT have Photo ID and do NOT have a reasonable impediment to obtaining one, or you simply forgot to bring it with you to the polls, you may still vote a provisional ballot. However, for your vote to be counted, you must provide one of the Photo IDs to the county election commission prior to certification of the election (usually Thursday or Friday after the election).
When a voter is requesting a ballot, the voter shall present a valid form of personal identification.
If a voter is not able to present a form of personal identification as required, the voter may complete an affidavit in lieu of the personal identification. The affidavit shall require the voter to provide his or her name and address. The voter shall sign the affidavit under penalty of perjury.
Each voter shall present to the precinct registrar one form of identification that bears the name and photograph of the voter.
If a voter is unable to present the proper evidence of identification, then the voter will be entitled to vote by provisional ballot in the manner detailed in the bill. The provisional ballot will only be counted if the voter provides the proper evidence of identification to the administrator of elections or the administrator's designee by the close of business on the second business day after the election.
Existing law:
On offering to vote, a voter must present the voter's voter registration certificate to an election officer at the polling place.
New law:
On offering to vote, a voter must present to an election officer at the polling place one form of identification.
All of the above must include a photo of the voter. With the exception of the certificate of citizenship, these forms of ID cannot be expired, or cannot have expired more than 60 days before the election.
A voter who does not present a voter registration certificate when offering to vote, but whose name is on the list of registered voters for the precinct in which the voter is offering to vote, shall be accepted for voting if the voter executes an affidavit stating that the voter does not have the voter's voter registration certificate in the voter's possession and the voter presents other proof of identification. A voter who does not present a voter registration certificate and cannot present other identification may vote a provisional ballot. A voter who does not present a voter registration certificate and whose name is not on the list of registered voters may vote a provisional ballot.
A voter who fails to present the required identification may cast a provisional ballot. The voter must present, not later than the sixth day after the date of the election, the required form of identification to the voter registrar for examination OR the voter may execute, in the presence of the voter registrar, an affidavit under penalty of perjury stating that the voter has a religious objection to being photographed or that the voter does not have identification as a result of a natural disaster declared by the president or the governor which occurred not earlier than 45 days before the date the ballot was cast.

In order to have his or her ballot counted, the voter must submit a copy of one of the forms of identification to the electoral board by facsimile, electronic mail, in-person submission, or timely United States Postal Service or commercial mail delivery, to be received by the electoral board no later than noon on the third day after the election.

CD (Item 597980) 20th Century/Intrada, 1971 — Condition: New Copy
An amazing score to an overlooked Mr Tibbs film – Gil Melle's mighty music for The Organization, a soundtrack that we might like even better than some of Quincy Jones' funk for Sidney Poitier! Melle got his start in modern jazz during the 50s, but by the time of this 1971 movie, he was a hell of a talent for scoring a crime/cop narrative – often willing to take a lot of weird chances with sounds and styles that nobody else might use – eerie elements that are still mixed in with just the right touches of funk and jazz to keep a mainstream ear on the course – a beautiful balance that takes this soundtrack way past any easy cliches of the time! Reedwork is especially wonderful, but there's a great way of recording the keyboards that's totally sweet too – almost a Schifrin-like quality, but a bit more complex. Titles include "Mr Tibbs", "Night Danger", "Annie Lost", "The Whole World", "Virgil's Theme", "Subway Chase", and "The Organization". (Limited edition of 1000 copies.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

If you're like most SEOs, you spend hours each week reading the latest SEO tactics and search engine tidbits. We spend hours learning, but does 90% of it change what we actually do - that is, the basic work of ranking a web page for search? To lend a hand, let me introduce the 25 Step SEO Master Blueprint.
There's a movement happening in our industry where many SEOs are changing their titles and practices to "inbound marketing." Where did this shift originate, and how is it shaping our industry at large? In today's Whiteboard Friday, Rand shares his thoughts on why we can't just be SEOs anymore if we're aiming for the bigger picture.
Sometimes it's fun to temporarily place yourself back in the mindset of a beginner. You probably can't remember the day before you understood SEO backwards and forwards, can you? Well, I'm still there. (Yes, thank you for the supportive smiles and knowing looks.) I still don't understand it all; but I'm on my way, and I'm making progress.
SEO is evolving, and the metrics we currently use to gauge success are broken when it comes to the broader ideals of inbound marketing. In today's Whiteboard Friday, Rand talks about what we can do to offer a more holistic and strategic approach to success metrics that our clients can get behind.
Debates over black-hat vs. white-hat SEO conjure up images of cartoon cowboys and villains, and probably aren't much more useful than children's TV. I think it's time to ask some better questions, and really dig into the strategic and tactical implications behind the hats.
User experience and SEO have had a rocky past, but can't we all just get along? In today's Whiteboard Friday, Rand discusses some persistent UX myths that we should all probably ignore.
How do you get links in a post-penguin world? For far too many the answer seems to be, exclusively, guest posting. Today I'm going to give you four reasons why I think this tactic can be as dangerous as those it replaced.
For those of you who have been doing SEO for awhile now, think back to when you first started pitching ideas to bosses, client lists, or other members of your marketing team. If you remember a few blank stares and responses like, "Don't most people just search for our brand name if they want to shop on our site?" you're not alone. In today's post, Rob Toledo explains why it's important to remove yourself from the technical powers of SEO and have an occasional conversation with someone from the 99% of search engine users who have minimal understanding of "under the hood" mechanics on results pages.
When it comes to link building idea generation, the sky's the limit! In today's post, Rhea Drysdale offers her tips for best practices and a philosophical approach to link building that will help bring your ideas to life.
If you're ranking number four for a keyword, there's no doubt you want to move up to that coveted number one spot. So how do you boost your rankings for the old keyword you've been targeting? In today's Whiteboard Friday, Rand explains how adjusting your existing content can be used to help bump your site up in the SERPs!
The more you simplify your user experience, the more likely users are to accomplish the goals you've set for the product, website, or communication at hand. In this week's Whiteboard Friday, Rand walks us through user experience and the actions that we can remove from our processes in order to drive more conversions, earn more links, get more social shares.
Are you confused about the difference between Penguin and an Unnatural Links penalty? Not sure whether you should be disavowing your links? Wondering whether you should file for reconsideration? Well...you're not alone! I have spent a good amount of time answering questions and learning from others in the SEOmoz Q&A and I see a lot of site owners and even SEOs who are unsure about the answers to these questions.
Announcing Fresh Web Explorer, a tool that gives SEOmoz PRO subscribers the ability to track the latest mentions and links for their brand or site.
With initiatives like Google Secure Search, Universal Search, and Knowledge Graph, it's becoming increasingly difficult for marketers to figure out how and why they receive Google referrals. It's time to reclaim your data by analyzing the VED paramater to make sense of the black hole (not provided) has left in Google referral traffic.
In today's Whiteboard Friday, Rachael Gerson sheds some light on "dark social" and explains why tagging in Google Analytics improves the accuracy of your referrals. Take credit for the work that you're doing, and tag your links!
As successful link building tactics change, companies and clients alike are seeking to understand how certain forms of link building can be translated into long-term content marketing campaigns. But when you're creating a content marketing strategy from scratch, where do you start? Stephanie Chang's content marketing strategy framework is an action-packed, insightful place to start!
From enterprise to small businesses, content marketing is one of the best ways to build trust with prospective customers. It's safe to say that trust building has replaced content as "king" when it comes to content marketing success. Here are ten stellar tips to help you succeed in boosting your customers' trust through content.
Personalization usage data and user data give marketers deep insights into their users' interests and actions. In today's Whiteboard Friday, Rand takes us through the intricate world of personalization and how it affects SEO.
This is a post about how to choose better clients. It starts with introspection, and ends with a connection. For each of these tips, I'm thinking specifically of a client I let walk away. If a strong partnership is what you seek, then you have to be able to decline potential clients. The customer is not always right; sometimes they're downright dangerous.
In light of Google's recent post on common rel=canonical mistakes, I explore the most commonly asked questions we get in Q&A regarding canonicalization.
Are you still struggling with the demise of Google Reader? Have no fear! SEOmoz is happy to bring you the Moz Reader.
Spring is here, so why not put some spring cleaning actions through on your website? With that said, let's get straight to the action items. Below is a list of many things you can look for on your site to adjust, add, or remove.
On August 15, 2012, our agency's website (which was in the middle of a complete redesign) was hit with a manual penalty by our friends over at Google. This came completely out of the blue as we're a fairly small agency that has never taken part in any unorthodox link building techniques. Here's the story of what happened, and how we overcame the penalty.
As inbound marketing continues to gain traction, it's time to start building your keywords into the bones of your site, rather than adding them once your site is already completely mapped out. Our Lead SEO, Ruth Burr, talks about using keywords to drive personas and, ultimately, your site mapping process.
We're thrilled to announce our newest feature in Open Site Explorer: the Just-Discovered Links report. With new links indexed in only an hour's time, this is our fastest link building tool yet. If it were any fresher, you'd have to slap it!
We're giving marketers a fresh, incredibly recent way to keep tracks of their mentions and links with Fresh Web Explorer. In today's Whiteboard Friday, Rand discusses how to improve your marketing through fresh links and mentions, and how you can use Fresh Web Explorer to achieve better results.
As more marketers are shifting from strict SEO to inbound marketing, competitor analysis is changing. In today's post, John Doherty touches on a few key areas of inbound marketing where you should revisit your competitor analysis to yield larger returns.
So you want to rank locally? If you have already worked hard to add a few citations, complete your on-site local optimization, acquire customer reviews, and build some locally relevant links, well, now it's time to shift your focus. According to David Mihm, citations make-up roughly 25% of the overall local ranking factors.
We've come a long way since the early 2000's, and local SEO has changed tremendously since the beginning of online search. In today's post, David Mihm discusses what factors affect ranking of local businesses, and how local algorithms within Google have evolved throughout the years.
Content is a powerful tool that can be used to grow your business and your community, but it can't be all about you. Consider using foundational and community building content to add value and draw customers to your business.

Felix Baumgartner just completed his breathtaking free-fall skydiving jump from $120,000\,\text{feet} = 39\,\text{km}$ above the Earth, breaking the speed of sound during the process.
I was wondering if the next step could be jumping from the international space station. The person would have to overcome the orbital velocity of the station, re-enter the Earth's atmosphere, and land on the Earth with their feet, assisted by a parachute.
Would such a stunt be survivable by a human?
Could the person wear a space suit like the one depicted in the movie "Sunshine"? Is such a space suit possible?

Balance. Variety. Moderation. Every MonaVie health juice features an exclusive blend of the Brazilian açai berry—one of nature's top superfoods—and 18 other nutrient-dense, body-beneficial fruits from around the world.
AÇAVIE (Proprietary Açai Complex) Scientific research validates the incredible antioxidant power of açai. MonaVie has taken it even further, creating a groundbreaking complex: AçaVie, the purest, most potent form of açai available. Consisting of açai and juçara freeze-dried powder and puree as well as Enlivenox (an açai concentrate that boasts 10 times more polyphenols than traditional açai), AçaVie utilizes a patent-protected process to lock in vital nutrients. For centuries, the people of the Amazon have revered the açai berry for its unique nutritional properties. Their tribal healers used açai to promote health and longevity, and their warriors consumed it as a source of strength and vitality. A small, round, dark-purple berry, açai is similar in appearance to a grape, but it has a smaller amount of pulp and a single large seed. Experts have referred to the superfruit açai as one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world. |
ACEROLA A bright red, soft, and juicy fruit, acerola has been eaten for centuries by the natives of the Antilles, Central America, and Northern South America. Also called the Barbados cherry, acerola is known for having high concentrations of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant. | |
APPLE Rich in antioxidant polyphenols, apples are fleshy red, yellow, or green edible fruit from a tree of the rose family. | |
ARONIA Also known as chokeberry, aronia is a glossy, bluish-black or red fruit with a slightly bitter to pleasantly sweet flavor. Because of its dark pigment, aronia is high in anthocyanins, a polyphenol antioxidant. Native to Eastern North America, aronia contains many other types of antioxidants and has a high concentration of vitamin C. | |
BANANA Bananas are typically grown in the humid, tropical region of South America and have very beneficial nutritional properties. They are a good source of vitamins A, C, and B6. Bananas are also rich in fiber and potassium. | |
BILBERRY The fruit of a perennial shrub, bilberries are reddish purple in color and native to Northern Europe and North America. Bilberries are high in flavonoids, which are found in many fruits and vegetables and are particularly abundant in citrus fruits and berries. | |
BLACK CURRANT Native to Europe and Northern Asia, black currants are used in jelly, pudding, tarts, and spirits. Black currants are a source of vitamin C, an essential vitamin with antioxidant properties, and anthocyanins, which contribute to the berry's distinctive color. | |
BLUEBERRY Blueberries have a diverse range of micronutrients with notably high levels of manganese and vitamins C and K. They also contain dietary fiber and powerful phytonutrients. | |
CAMU CAMU Produced on a low-growing shrub found throughout the Amazon, camu camu is round and red when young and dark purple when ripe. These fruits are about the size of lemons and contain a significant amount of vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant. | |
CAROTENOIDS(Proprietary Blend) A group of phytonutrient compounds consisting of more than 600 pigments found in nature, carotenoids are responsible for the red, yellow, and orange colors found in fruits, vegetables, flowers, algae, bacteria, and fungi. Of these 600 carotenoids, 20–50 of them are found in the human diet. The major sources of dietary carotenoids are red, orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables, as well as green, leafy vegetables. The most studied dietary carotenoids are β-carotene, lycopene, and lutein. Of these, β-carotene has been researched the most with the main benefits being attributed to its pro-vitamin A and antioxidant activities. | |
CRANBERRY Native to North America, this dark red, tart berry is packed with nutrients, including potent antioxidant flavonoids and other polyphenolic compounds. | |
CUPUAÇU This healthy fruit originates in the south and southeastern parts of the Brazilian Amazon. Known for its exotic aroma, it is strong and pleasant smelling. The pulp is white and soft, and has a sour and highly flavored taste. | |
GRAPE Grapes belong to the Vitaceae family and are grown and harvested worldwide. They contain antioxidants such as anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and resveratrol. | |
JABUTICABA Found in Southern Brazil, Jabuticaba is usually thin-skinned and small. When ripe, the fruit can range in color from red to purple or blackish. The whitish pulp is slightly acidic and very sweet. Jabuticaba is known for its antioxidant polyphenol properties and powerful nutritional value. | |
KIWI Originally known as the Chinese gooseberry, kiwi is a rich source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as potassium. It is also a good source of flavonoid antioxidants. | |
MAQUI Grown in Chile and Western Argentina, maqui is a deep purple berry traditionally used for a variety of benefits, including overall good health. The maqui berry contains powerful polyphenols, which help protect against the damaging effects of free radicals (implicated in accelerating the signs of aging). | |
PEAR Originally from Europe and Asia, pears are juicy and sweet, and have a soft, buttery, and somewhat grainy texture. The white to cream-colored flesh of pears was once referred to as the "gift of the gods." | |
POMEGRANATE Originating from the Middle East, pomegranates have been cherished for centuries for their beauty, flavor, and health benefits. They are a good source of vitamins B5 and C, potassium, and antioxidant polyphenols, which have potent free-radical scavenging properties. | |
PRUNE Featuring essential vitamins and minerals, prunes (dried plums) are rich in phytonutrients and dietary fiber. | |
WOLFBERRY Commonly known as the goji berry, wolfberry is a superfruit recognized for its nutrient content and antioxidant capacity. Almost half of all harvested wolfberries come from China. Featuring a nutty taste, wolfberries are traditionally consumed in juices, tea, wine, coffee, soups, and other various dishes. |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The question is no longer whether Greg Jennings will play Sunday at Indianapolis.
Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy took care of that on Thursday, ruling the two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver out with the groin injury that has nagged him all season.
"I had a conversation with Greg before practice, and we just talked through the history of his injury. And we felt like we were going around in a circle," McCarthy said. "We just felt, 'Why take this decision all the way to Sunday?'"
Jennings suffered the injury in the closing minutes of Sept. 9 opener against San Francisco, then missed the Sept. 13 victory over Chicago. He returned to play at Seattle on Sept. 24, then aggravated the injury last Sunday against New Orleans and had to come out of the game in the second quarter after his 9-yard touchdown catch.
"(I've) got to be smart now," said Jennings, who is in the last year of his contract and has 12 catches for 78 yards and one touchdown. "Honestly, that's where my frustration starts. (You want to) be a tough guy (but it's) not so much (about) being a tough guy - you just want to go out there and play. There's a difference between being smart with it and being kind of ignorant. ... I can't keep having that up and down - I'm in one game, out the next, not sure one game, good the next. I can't keep doing that to myself or the team. "
The game at Indianapolis kicks off a three-game road trip for the Packers, as they'll travel to undefeated Houston for a Sunday night game on Oct. 14 followed by an Oct. 20 date at St. Louis.
Offensively, the Packers have found themselves adjusting to life without Jennings a lot. Late last season, Jennings suffered a knee injury on Dec. 11 against Oakland, then missed the final three games against Kansas City, Chicago and Detroit before returning for the Packers' season-ending playoff loss to the New York Giants.
Jennings also missed two weeks of training camp when he suffered a concussion in the annual Family Night scrimmage. It was the third concussion of his career, according to team doctors.
"When Greg Jennings is on the field, we definitely have a chance to be a very good offense," McCarthy said. "I still think we can play a different way and play without Greg and still be very good. I'd always want my best players out there. That's why it's important to get him healthy and get him back to 100 percent."
It's possible these Jennings-less Packers are a glimpse into what the offense will look like in 2013. Some believe the Packers will let Jennings walk as an unrestricted free agent after the season because he'll command a contract that will average more than $10 million per season. With quarterback Aaron Rodgers, outside linebacker Clay Matthews and defensive tackle B.J. Raji needing extensions, there might not be enough money to go around. Continued...
While frustrated by his injury, Jennings said the contract isn't on his mind.
"Honestly, I'm not even focused on that," he said. "I really need to get back on the football field and be 100 percent. The contract, that's going to take care of itself. It's going to be what it's going to be. I can't predict the future. I couldn't predict this. It is what it is."
