This PHP snippet is what I use for re-directing to a mobile version of a page:
(merely edit name of page on bottom of snippet from "home_mobile.html" to the name of your mobile page.
=>Not sure if EZProxy web-server (not Apache with PHP) can handle PHP code. Will test and let you know.
=> Not sure if OCLC hosted ILLiad service can handle PHP either. Will test and let you know.
Also have code that redirects from standalone PHP to WP based site, if desired.
OK, info from OCLC suggests we need to find a non-PHP based solution:
To begin with, you can add whatever you like to the HTML pages. Though, there is no guarantee that they will work with EZproxy. Sadly, we do not provide PHP or HTML support, only EZproxy support. So, any changes that you make will not be something that we can/will assist with customizing.
There have been no development plans made for ILLiad to work on mobile devices. However, the ILLiad patron web pages out of the box should mostly work using mobile browsers, but they are not currently optimized for mobile access. Using the current web pages and the CSS files, a site with technical web developers could make these changes for themselves.
Was not able to post PHP, so you can see here:
Think the ticket according to EZProxy list is:
CSS media queries instead. See http://css-tricks.com/css-media-queries/ for an excellent demonstration of this.
Thanks for posting this Stephen. Here at City Tech, we're using a Drupal plug-in called mobile tools to redirect the site, but we're having trouble redirecting Android devices. This could be an appropriate solution!

My boyfriend Bruce was a cheating jerk. I dumped him.
This woman's husband was cheating. She took a dump on his floor.
Oh, and she peed on his carpet too.
A woman in Vero Beach, Florida caught her husband in bed with another, barged into his bedroom with a rifle and threatened to kill the two. After Brenda Schumann's estranged husband pried the rifle away from her, the 51-year-old woman proceeded to urinate on the carpet of the master bedroom
That's not all. Schumann then went downstairs and pooped on the kitchen floor.
As she was being arrested, she exclaimed, "I found him in bed with a naked chick. What was I supposed to do?"
I love her.

"EmuCon is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for many emulators systems: consoles, handhelds and computers. (The list is big)"
MasterGear v3.0.2 for Android had been updated (2014/09/29)
"MasterGear emulates Sega MasterSystem, Sega GameGear, and other classic 8bit consoles from Sega on the Android Platform".
It is commercial software and costs $4.99.
There was a report of Hyperkin RetroN 5 console violating some open source licenses.
Hyperkin has replied and released some of the source code to the public. But about RetroArch they said "While it is true that a few ASM functions from RetroArch were previously found in our frontend library, these were merely remnants of old test code which we unfortunately forgot to remove."
RetroArch (libreto) replied again saying that the copyright violation still exists because Genesis Plus GX and SNES9x-Next are non-commercial software and forbids it to be included in commercial bundles. Additionally they claim that when RetroN 5 included the RetroArch code on their firmware (by mistake or not) they linked GPL V3 code so the previously distributed firmware should be open sourced under that license."

Some discussion and demands to RetroN 5 are registered on the AssemblerGame forum .

5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
One earnings short-squeeze candidate in the construction and agriculture machinery complex is Lindsay (LNN), which is set to report results on Wednesday before the market open. This company is a provider of range of water management and road infrastructure products and services. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Lindsay to report revenue of $129.90 million on earnings of 83 cents per share.
This company has jumped back and forth between beating Wall Street estimates during the past fiscal year. Lindsay's profit has trended higher year over year by an average of 50.3% over the past five quarters. This stock is trading well off its 52-week high of $85.87 as we approach its earnings report.The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Lindsay is rather high at 11.3%. That means that out of the 12.43 million shares in the tradable float, 1.40 million are sold short by the bears. This is a high short interest on a stock with a very low tradable float. If Lindsay can report a solid quarter and bullish forward guidance, then this stock could soar post-earnings due to its low float and 11.3% short interest. >>5 Breakout Trades to Take From Twitter From a technical perspective, LNN is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock gapped up strong on Monday breaking out above some near-term overhead resistance at $67.27 a share with heavy volume. Volume registered 317,000 shares versus its three-month average daily action of 128,913 shares. That move now puts LNN within range of triggering another big breakout post-earnings. If you're bullish on LNN, I would look for long-biased trades after earnings if this stock continues to trend above that recent breakout price of $67.27 with strong volume flows. Look for upside volume that registers near or well above its three-month average action of 128,913 shares. If we get that action, then I would add to any long positions if LNN breaks out above some past overheard resistance at $72.70 a share with volume. Target a run toward $75 or higher if the bulls gain full control of this stock post-earnings. I would simply avoid LNN or look for short biased trades if after earnings this stock fails to hold above that breakout level of $67.27 and Monday's low of $66.63 a share. If you see a heavy volume move back below those levels, then look for LNN to re-test its 50-day moving average of $62.74 a share, or possibly its 200-day moving average of $59.38 post-earnings.

Immune Oil by Pharmax combines an array of ingredients that may naturally promote increased immunity. Conjugated linolenic acid (CLA) may support your immune system in several ways: it works to stimulate immune cells' which can allow them to protect you from invaders more effectively.

WEATHER BLOG: Unsettled
The regional radar is showing a few pockets of heavy rain occurring in the Delmarva Region early Thursday, which could cause some minor flooding issues.
WEATHER BLOG: December Reality Coming Soon
Warm again Tuesday before we get a dose of December reality.
WEATHER BLOG: Sunny Days Ahead
The next few days are expected to bring dry weather to the Mid-Atlantic States. Even though a front managed to push through Maryland Wednesday evening (and northwest winds between 8 and 10 p.m. gusted to between 20 and 30 mph), it didn't bring any widespread clouds or showers.
WEATHER BLOG: Damp And Humid
Well, so much for my idea of Thursday being dry.
WEATHER BLOG: Temps To Get Close To 100 Degrees On Thursday
What a beautiful day, weather-wise. Sunshine has filled the sky, combining with low humidity/dew points for a wonderful afternoon.
WEATHER BLOG: Hot Holiday
The overall feeling is that warming aloft should limit coverage of showers and thunderstorms to a rather small fraction of the area Friday and over the weekend. But there will continue to be plenty of moisture in the air so we would not want to totally rule out a thunderstorm on any given day.
WEATHER BLOG: Warm Air Will Stick Around
Tuesday morning's front left little in the way of rainfall. However, it did leave us in a much different air mass Tuesday afternoon.
BLOG: Back Above Average
The warm air is going to stick around as highs go back to near 70 degrees again Wednesday afternoon. However, there is a cold front that will be going through at the same time.
BLOG: March In Like A Lamb!
The recent rain has ended, but the regional radar is still showing an isolated shower in spots early Thursday. Total rain at BWI-Marshall amounted to about 1.55," eating into our deficit for the year.
BLOG: Clearing And Nice
An upper-air disturbance has been hanging back to the west today, even though it's trying to clear the coast. The cold air aloft has still helped to trigger a shower and brief downpour in parts of the area this afternoon.
BLOG: Not Too Hot
High pressure has nosed itself down from the north, promoting a dry day across the region with some sunshine. As high pressure shifts eastward, the wind flow will turn more southwesterly tonight and tomorrow increasing the humidity ahead of the next storm system.
BLOG: Blend Of Sun And Clouds
The showers and thunderstorms that were fairly widespread yesterday/early last night have pretty much wrapped up now.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/221821That's a tough question; there are no hard and fast rules here. It depends on a lot of things including who you are targeting--businesses or consumers, the competitive environment, whether it is a new product/service launch vs. maintenance or growth mode, etc.
Depending on what category you are in, you could see the percentage range from 1 percent to 20 percent. I'd look at what you need to spend to get your story out there and make sure you have a strong and compelling brand with a unique value proposition before you spend anything on advertising, marketing or PR. If you start from that angle you'll be coming at it from a much stronger position. It's not about how much you spend, but rather are you talking to the right audience in relevant ways?

Advanced Screen Control
10,000 - 50,000 downloadsAdd this app to your listsTweets por @AppsZoom
- Hugo Barra, Director of Android Product Management at Google.
Android OS has come a long way past few years and is going faster than ever. And yet, there are still some basic actions which could be performed much simpler and easier. How often do you find yourself wishing you could just switch the orientation of your screen and keep it that way, without having to repeatedly enable/disable the auto-rotation? Or turn your device ON/OFF, without having to reach for the power button? Or even having your device recognize when it's about to be used and waking itself up automatically? Or maybe you just need an instant LED flashlight, without even waking the device?!?
Welcome to the next generation screen control for Android! ASC utilizes the available sensors to allow easier management of your device. Its unique features are fully customizable and particularly useful for managing larger screen devices, although they can make the daily use of any device much more convenient.
Used terms:
"Wave" means to wave (or slide) your hand (or finger) closely in front of the proximity sensor of your device, in accordance with the chosen settings.
"Shake" means to shake the device in accordance with the chosen settings.
IMPORTANT: Please remove any other "shake" or "wave" apps before trying ASC!
Key features:
✔ Automatically wake up the device when you take it out of pocket/bag;
✔ Screen Filter - decrease the screen brightness below the system default.
✔ Smart Screen On/Off - automatically turn the screen on and off based on close proximity (device is in pocket/bag) and optionally lock the device after set amount of time;
✔ Wave or Shake to:
◦ turn the screen off and lock the device;
◦ wake up the device (if supported by device hardware);
◦ toggle Auto-Rotation On/Off;
◦ change the screen orientation, without releasing the orientation lock (Android 3.0 and up);
◦ launch any app;
◦ turn the LED light On/Off.
Other options:
- start on boot;
- persistent service;
- fully configurable 3 Wave and 2 Shake actions.
User reviews:
★★★★★ "Best Ever!
This app saved my phone! My power button wasn't working anymore, so I couldn't unlock or lock my phone, but now I can. It's simple and easy. A life saver." - Franchesca, LGE LG-LS855 (LS855)
★★★★★ "Amazing app!
I have been using this for several weeks and can't imagine how I've done before that! It is incredibly useful and very easy to get used to. I use all it's features and I often use it to impress my friends with how smart my tab is! xD" - Chris, Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P-6800)
★★★★★ "Great!
I've got the S3 flip cover. When I open the cover, the screen comes on. It's really handy." - A Google User, Samsung Galaxy S3
Тhe app is power–use optimized and using the Screen Filter on AMOLED screens can actually save you quite a lot of battery power as well as prolong the lifetime of your screen!
WARNING: Using any "Shake on Screen-Off" actions will consume more battery power!
IMPORTANT: Developing apps for hardware features of Android devices is a really though job, as there are so many different devices with different hardware and software implementations. So I have a very important request for all of you - if you encounter any issues, please send me an email so I can actually help you! Just mentioning it in the comments is useless! Seriously! Thank you!
Development support:
This app is developed by a single independent developer. If you like it and want to help my efforts - please give it a 5 star rating and share it with your friends.Your support is what keeps me working on it.
Tags: advanced screen control cant uninstall, auto wakeup app for galaxy tab 7.7, how to uninstall advanced screen control, advanced screen control, proximity sensor control, asc, how to unlock screen orientation on galaxy tab 7.7, cant remove advanced screen control, shake lock without device administrator, wake up screen.

Team Cooking
Satisfying the Hard to Please:
One of his "toughest customers" once went back for fourths.
Conquering Comfort Food:
Many team members are from Vermont and take their homemade mac 'n cheese seriously. He's mastered the authentic recipe – Cabot cheddar and all.
Unofficial Sous Chef:
Lara Mirra, wife of SPRT driver Dave Mirra.
Team Traditions:
Made-from-scratch commemorative cakes for team members' birthdays or a big win. Whenever the team is in the Ozarks, Alburger gets team favorites from the Missouri Hick barbecue restaurant in Cuba, Missouri.
On-the-Road Records Held:
Trade Secrets:
Preps 20 percent of his meals at home. Always has two to three backup meals planned.
Serving up for 2013 Season:
Venison roast with carrots, potatoes, and onions. Turkey on the grill. Scalloped potatoes. Meatloaf (moms everywhere, look out).
End Goal, Every Meal:
For each team member to feel as if he's cooking just for him.
Totally Fulfilled:
Alburger didn't simply want to cook – he wanted to take on coordination and logistics, travel extensively, and be – literally – a vital part of a team.
Most Challenging Trip:
Tall Pines Rally, Ontario: It was so cold, the motor home's water lines froze. Washing up took place at a nearby nursing home, which luckily had a professional-grade kitchen.

Here's a look at all 10 gaggle types and an all-star who we think would fit the bill:
* The Accessory: "A standout guy who is a perfect nondate for that wedding or work party, he makes a great impression."
Think: Jeremy Lin
* The Prospect You're Not Sure Is A Prospect: "Sends you mixed signals, sometimes showing romantic interest and other times treating you with ambivalence."
Think: George Clooney
* The Hot Sex Prospect: "A guy with whom you have physical or sexual chemistry, despite not being emotionally or intellectually attracted to him." Think: Channing Tatum
* The ego booster: "The guy who will carry your boxes when you move…and text you back after that other guy blows you off."
Think: Matthew McConaughey
* The Career Booster: "He offers access to power, resources, inside information and an expanded network." Think: Mark Zuckerberg
* The unavailable guy: "Has a serious girlfriend but still engages in light…flirtation with you. No one's wrecking any homes, but there's possibly an emotional connection there." Think: Jay-Z
* The Guy Who Just Blew You Off: "An undeserving guy who is not treating you well, but is still on your mind. You're tempted to contact him in an effort to get closure."
Think: John Mayer
* The ex-boyfriend who's still around: "The guy who knows you best, eliciting a combination of fond memories and frustrating emotions."
Think: Justin Timberlake
* The Boyfriend Prospect: "A legit guy who treats you with respect and seems to have long-term relationship potential. The one to watch!"
Think: Ryan Gosling
* The super horny guy who happens to be around a lot: "A party boy who never stops thinking, talking and joking about sex and has openly stated his desire to hook up with you (and everyone else)."
Think: Bradley Cooper

I've always said that the whole "love comes to those who aren't expecting it" is BS. Who ISN'T expecting love? I didn't expect love for two solid years and guess where it got me? Celibacy. You should always expect to be loved, you should always expect to find somebody to love because if you don't, you do get your worst fears confirmed and then you're a goner. Then you're denying yourself what you deserve. What you can certainly have.

"Glee" star Chris Colfer just can't seem to help himself when it comes to rescuing animals. First he lends a helping hand to the feline species, and this time around he's reaching out to stingrays.
Yesterday, he tweeted, "I rescued a beached sting ray yesterday! That's not a metaphor, it actually happened! Poor guy had a rough day… pic.twitter.com/WhlTjNBw."
Wow, what a nice guy! Colfer has yet to provide further details on his rescue mission, but I'm sure it's a spectacular story.
As mentioned above, this isn't the first time the adorable and talented 22-year-old saved an animal. In April, Colfer adopted an 8-year-old cat from the West Valley Animal Shelter in Los Angeles, who he named Brian.
This isn't your ordinary cat. Brian weighs a whopping 20 pounds! This was quite a unique animal adoption, as most people take home younger pets from shelters, and Colfer decided to save an older cat.
It's always great to see celebrities rescuing and adopting animals. I wonder which lucky animal Colfer will save next. Keep up the good work Chris and if we hear more about the stingray rescue, we'll let you know!

I'll tell you about a play that affected me. Its a play by Samuel Becket, an Irish playwright who wrote the famous Waiting for Godot. He was a very surrealistic writer. But the play that im referring to, called 'Krapps Last tape', is a one act, one man play consisting of a 69 year old man, named Krapp, who walks out on stage scowling and mean spirited.
Krapp owns tape recordings of himself from the past years, talking about his aspirations, resolutions, views and opinions. He rummages through his pile of tapes to find one in particular. He listens back on a recording on his 39th birthday. Most of the play consists of him reviewing this tape.
The 39 year old talks about all the things that has happened the past year and continues on to talk about listening back on tapes that he recorded in his 20s, listening to himself speak about what he did during his young years and what he hopes to do in the future. 39 year old Krapp laughs distastefully talking about his younger self, at his aspirations, foolishness and naivety, and present day 69 year old Krapp laughs along with the recording, not believing he ever used to be so idiotic.
The tape moves on and the 39 year old starts talking about his own views and hopes for the future. Present day Krapp sneers in disgust at the recording and slams down on the fast forward button then presses play. The 39 year old persists in his narrative of aspirations and resolutions . He smacks the fast forward button again, unable to bare his younger selfs moronic ideology. He presses play and the tape comes near to the end, and on the tape he begins to mention a moment that Krapp lived. He is with a girl, laying down in a rowing boat across the boards, the boat had drifted into the shrubs on the river edge. If you'll allow me to paraphrase the narrative went -"We lay there, my head on her breast and my hand across her, perfectly still, and everything moved below us and moved us, as we rocked up and down and side to side "
69 year old Krapp, still and silent, stops the tape, rewinds it, and plays is again and listens.
He rewinds it again, and listens.
This is where the play ends. What I derived from "Krapps last tape": That even though all our plans, and hopes and relationships can change drastically as we get older, and can be corrupted and torn down by the world to be replaced by pain and a thick skin. Moments like that, are universally related to by all people of different generations, ages, cultures and philosophies, regardless of views and differences. Moments of intimacy and love such as that, that moment, is incorruptible. Live towards moments like that.
Fill your life with them.

I love all music, especially today's music. There's so much rivalry and bitterness between genres and eras these days people have sort of become sidetracked from the point of it. This is on music.
The reason I love old rock and roll and blues so much is that in terms of explaining the human experience their perhaps the most confessional musicians in the world, bands and musicians such as Fleetwood Mac, Robert Johnson, Van Morrison, The Doors, these are people that lay out their whole feelings, emotions, secrets and life on the table for everybody to see, for strangers to see, when most of us have trouble opening up to even our own families and the people closest to us. For this I consider them the strongest product of human growth and strength.
The weaknesses in old music such as blues is not the reason not to listen to it I say, but to listen to it. Rather than today where all music is perfected for the sake of perfection.
Where old music was about confession, today's music is about idealism and perfectionism so that the results yield more money in the pocket, and not to arouse emotion, thought and opinion in people.
But I'm not saying idealism/perfectionism are a bad thing or that there's no confessional music left around, some of the most open, opinionated music I've ever heard can be found in today's music through the likes of Eminem, The Roots, Tupac and others in different genres. These are people that have something to say, that have a message.
What I'm trying to say really is that old music was about just getting the message across no matter about its shortcomings, it's imperfections are its perfection. Today's music is about trying to get it across without any fault, and sometimes the message is sacrificed for the sake of that. That's why I think theres such a bitterness going around in relation to where music is heading for a lot of people. The heart and art and soul is leaving and has been invaded by money, materialism, business and sycophants. The greedy side has infiltrated what was all about truth, honesty, emotion and the telling of these things, where everybody related and listened. But greed and business has entered the mix and has made it all about ego, coolness and the money factor.
The artist used to get hired or signed for his message, now they get signed because of their money value to a label or their sex appeal, and it is heading more and more in that direction as the years go by.
The point is, is there isn't as much honest music around anymore and people need to stop arguing about what's better and enjoy what good music that we have left.

one percent
Not to sound defeatist, but maybe the one-percent has already won this thing. With the poor now cheering for the rich, the plutocrats' wildest and most ambitious fantasies have been realized. Not only have the rich succeeded in convincing workers to root against labor unions—the one and only institution dedicated to their welfare—they've convinced them to fight for the interests of the wealthy rather than the interests of their own tribe. Holy Mother of Jesus, this makes no sense. And it's not simply politics. It transcends political ideology and voter booth privacy. Rooting for the rich is crazy. It's not only illogical and impractical, it's unnatural. Indeed, it's tantamount to the chicken population of the United States naming Colonel Sanders its "Man of the Year." David Macaray ☀
The 1 percent's source of power is their excessive, poverty-inducing wealth they've amassed for the last 30 years. They used to spend their wealth on racehorses and yachts. Now they spend it on buying elections. By taking away the 1 percent's excessive wealth, we take away their ability to buy elections. When we get corporate money out of politics, we weed out the politicians who were put in place by corporate money. By removing those politicians and putting in those who will work for us, we simultaneously scare those remaining in office to adhere to our agenda or lose their jobs, and then we begin to fundamentally change the system for the better. Elect Occupy Wall Street in 2014 ☀
It is one thing for the ruling class to target the general domestic population on economic matters, as it has by systematically squeezing every last bit of wealth and opportunity out of "ordinary" Americans and shoveling all of it into the drooling maw of the rulers (and for many Americans, these methods of brutalization are already catastrophic in the extreme). It is very different when the ruling class announces to the world that it considers every human being on Earth not favored by power and privilege to be fair game in a neverending campaign of slaughter. Yet there are no crowds in the street. Forget howls of fury; you can listen with the greatest concentration of which you are capable, and you will detect barely a whimper. Life goes on precisely as before, as if nothing of great moment has happened. With very rare exceptions … even the harshest critics of the murder campaign so thoughtfully detailed in the NYT will not say: These people are monsters. This is profoundly evil. All these people, all those who collaborate and assist in such a program, have placed themselves far beyond any limit of what can be designated as civilization. Unspeakable Things: The Liberals' Clumsy Dance Across Obama's Killing Floor ☀
As New York City and other municipalities continue to crack down on Occupy Wall Street protests in the name of the rule of law, it's important to remember how Michael Bloomberg, scion of the law and order crowd, deals with rules and laws he doesn't like. This, in his own words, is how Bloomberg made his millions:
Among old McDonald's hamburger wrappings and mouse droppings, we dragged wires from our computers to the keyboards and screens we were putting in place, stuffed the cables through holes we drilled in other people's furniture—all without permission, violating every fire law, building code, and union regulation on the books. It's amazing we didn't burn some office or electrocute ourselves.
Penso que se esforçou muito por agir bem, mas está numa posição extremamente vulnerável. Assim que alguém entra na Casa Branca, sejam quais forem as suas ideias políticas, os seus motivos ou a sua consciência, sabe que é muito vulnerável e que o presidente dos EUA, ou de outro país importante, pode ser facilmente afastado. Nalgumas partes do mundo, como a Líbia ou o Irão, talvez só com balas o seu poder possa ser derrubado, mas em países como os EUA um líder pode ser afastado por um rumor ou uma acusação. O presidente do FMI, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, ver a sua carreira destruída por uma empregada de quarto de um hotel, que o acusou de violação, foi um aviso muito forte a Obama e a outros líderes mundiais. Não estou a defender Strauss-Kahn – não faço a mínima ideia de qual é a verdade por trás do que aconteceu, mas o que sei é que bastou uma acusação de uma empregada de quarto para destruir a sua carreira, não só como director do FMI mas também como potencial presidente francês. Bill Clinton também foi afastado por um escândalo sexual, mas no tempo de John Kennedy estas coisas não derrubavam presidentes. Só as balas. Porém, descobrimos com Bill Clinton que um escândalo sexual – e não é preciso ser uma coisa muito excitante, porque aparentemente ele nem sequer teve sexo com a Monica Lewinsky, fizeram uma coisa qualquer com um charuto que já não me lembro – foi o suficiente para o descredibilizar. Por isso Obama está numa posição muito vulnerável e tem de jogar o jogo e fazer o melhor que pode dentro dessas limitações. Caso contrário, será destruído. John Perkins ☀
The richest million families have not worked three times (let alone 300 times) harder than the other 99 million families. Paul Buchheit ☀
From New York to Los Angeles, hospitals that draw huge subsidies from taxpayers (and often are so overcrowded that regular patients are lucky to get a gurney in the hallway) have set aside entire floors for $2,400-a-day deluxe suites. They come with butlers, 5-star meals, marble baths, imported bed sheets, special kitchens, and other amenities for swells who have both insurance and cash to burn.
It's repugnant for the plutocratic elite to pervert health care into a luxury commodity. It splits asunder America's essential, uniting principle of the common good. To push for a national policy that treats health care as a fundamental human need — for all — contact Physicians for a National Health Program: www.pnhp.org.
Other programs, like Medicare, are provided by the government, but eligibility is mostly automatic, and recipients have paid into them. Beneficiaries of such programs are somewhat less likely to realize they're on a government dole than beneficiaries of means-tested programs.
Then there's what Mettler calls "the submerged state." These policies are mostly, though not exclusively, tax breaks. They include the much-beloved home-mortgage interest deduction and the tax exclusion for employer-provided health care. Recipients of these policies — and there are tens of millions of them — are rarely cognizant that they're benefiting from a government program.
But they are. "Indirect social policies offer benefits that are comparable to direct social benefits both in their purposes and in their costs," Mettler and Koch write. "Both are targeted to specific groups of people, aimed to reward some kind of activity or some class of persons whom policymakers deem worthy of public support. From an accounting perspective, as well, both types have the same effect: They impose costs on the federal budget, whether incurred through fiscal obligations or lost revenues."
The costs are significant. Huge, in fact. Tax expenditures now cost the federal government $1 trillion annually — more than Medicare and Medicaid combined. And they're regressive.
There is also a pattern to these programs: The more a government social program benefits wealthier Americans, the less obtrusive it is. We design policies for the poor in ways that make it hard to escape the knowledge that the government is providing help. But richer Americans rely on programs that are "submerged."
Sick and vulnerable NHS patients will be left stranded in ambulances in traffic jams while dignitaries and sponsors race past in a fleet of expensive cars on specially designated lanes during the Olympics, healthcare providers fear.
Games organisers have been accused of risking people's health by banning the routine use by ambulances of the "Games lanes" introduced to ensure that VIPs can travel quickly to events. The decision to reject a request for access from NHS London, the capital's strategic health authority, has led to a storm of anger. Medical Services, an independent business that transports patients for the health service, and whose clients include the hospitals closest to the Olympic stadium, says it fears that the ill, including those on dialysis, will be trapped in vehicles as London suffers unprecedented congestion, with traffic on key routes expected to slow to a crawl.
There is no reason to assume that Santorum is any less a servant of big money than Mr. Big Money himself, Mitt Romney. While still in the Senate, he maintained a "leadership PAC" that he rather misleadingly named "America's Foundation," which served as a conduit for large contributions from corporate donors who wanted him to grease legislation for them. Most leadership PACs make donations to other politicians as a means of securing power and influence for their sponsors, but America's Foundation served as a blatant slush fund for Santorum, with a huge proportion of its funds spent on personal expenses, restaurant bills, and credit cards. This operation was staffed by lobbyists and financed by companies that benefited directly from legislation pushed by the senator – sometimes sending big checks within days of passage of their pet bills.
As a Senator, he cultivated close relationships with the same kind of financiers with whom he now seeks to contrast himself. For instance, the suburban Virginia McMansion that the Santorums call home, subject of his recent complaints about its diminished value, was purchased with the help of a "private bank" in Philadelphia, against the bank's own rules for providing mortgages solely to its investment clients. That was a curious deal, but not nearly as curious as the dubious "charity" that Santorum operated alongside his PAC – or the bills he pushed for tobacco and liquor interests while receiving large donations from their lobbyists. The most intriguing of all these deals was a coal-to-diesel plant for which Santorum helped to obtain $100 million in Energy Department subsidies – the same kind of "socialist" legislation he now denounces as a reborn Tea Party conservative.
All of that is why the watchdogs at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington listed Santorum as one of the four most corrupt Senators in 2006 – and why the Washington Post editorially mocked his role as chair of a "lobbying reform" effort for the Senate Republicans that same year, from which he quickly stepped down.
When Santorum lost his Senate seat in 2006, the most salient issue was his support of the Bush plan to privatize Social Security, in an ambitious scheme that would have siphoned a trillion dollars away from retirees, widows, and orphans to Wall Street bankers. Pennsylvania voters understood why that was a raw deal – and why any Senator who backed it was no friend of working families.
Numerous journalists and bloggers in Idaho — who want to write critically about VanderSloot's vast funding of right-wing political causes — are petrified even to mention his name for fear of these threats. As his work on the Romney campaign brings him national notoriety, he is now aiming these tactics beyond Idaho. To allow this scheme to continue — whereby billionaires can use their bottomless wealth to intimidate ordinary citizens and media outlets out of writing about them — is to permit the wealthiest in America to thuggishly shield themselves from legitimate criticism and scrutiny.

EL PASO - The city of El Paso is getting tough on developers who want to build on a hillside.
Some city council members said it's a safety issue; all representatives voted to implement a new ordinance on grading permits.
The new rules are intended to make sure the land where hillside homes sit, is stable, so the homes won't slip. The restrictions are also aimed at keeping eroded soil from choking arroyos and storm sewers.
"You would be required to stabilize those slopes before you developed on the land, instead of just clear-cutting them...or, if you had to clear-cut a slope...you would have to stabilize it, by putting planting material that would hold the slope better."
We're told the new ordinance will go into effect in about two months.

Boss proud to take Everton back to Wembley.
David Moyes feels privileged to be leading Everton into a 'magical' semi-final showdown against rivals Liverpool at Wembley.
The two sides haven't convened at English football's headquarters for 23 years and the Blues manager admits it is an honour to be in charge for such an occasion.
"It's magical to go to Wembley again," he told a press conference at Finch Farm on Tuesday afternoon.
"To take Everton to Wembley and to take them into a derby game as well is something special.
"It hasn't happened that often. It used to happen a lot. I think the 1980s was probably the time when it happened most but I think to be the manager of Everton, take them back to Wembley again and to get the supporters there, I think that's special."
Moyes also revealed he could well have a fully fit squad at his disposal for the game – a fact that adds to his already fulsome options.
The Blues boss had the luxury of resting five players against Sunderland on Monday and his side still romped to a 4-0 win.
Moyes admits he now has some tough decisions to make.
"I think everybody is okay. We've got a few knocks and bruises, which you would expect after a game, but with a bit of luck we'll have a fully fit squad.
"I was always going to have difficult decisions," he added. "We've got a squad which is playing well at the moment and we could quite easily pick a number of players. It's good, we've got a good choice to make.
"We've made changes probably for the last six weeks and in the main it has worked very well for us. I think when you've got a squad of players and you've got most of them fit, you've got to keep them all hungry and playing and giving them games at the right time. We've tried to do that and we've tried to get the decisions right as often as we can."
The Blues go into the game on a run that has seen them lose just twice in 17 matches.
And Moyes says it is only right they draw confidence from recent results.
"We've definitely improved from where we were at the start of the season," he said. "The form the players are in, the confidence they're playing with, the results, the goals we're scoring in games - all those things have definitely shown we've improved.
"On numerous occasions now I think I've said the boys in January made a big difference but there's big credit to the boys who were already here. They've buckled down and got their form back going again and we rely a lot on the boys who have been around a long time and they're all in good form, thankfully."

Guest Column: No, not really
Today's guest column will be by regular contributor Kurt Evans. Mr. Evans is best known for annoying the crap out of caustic Cub fans, as well as for spewing optimism as though he'd just eaten a bad optimistic dinner that was tainted in some way. He also lives in Canada, but was born in the Buffalo region of Western New York, otherwise known as the stinky armpit of New York State.
Before I begin my guest article, I really have to thank the appropriate people for this opportunity. First, I'd like to thank myself, since I'm actually a regular contributor of Goat Riders, and therefore was able to provide myself with this opportunity to write a guest column. I'd also like to thank the Good Lord, who has seen fit to curse my favorite ball club into almost a century of mediocrity, perhaps because Tinker, Evers, and Chance also developed a Satanic ritual of some kind, I don't know. But most importantly, I'd like to thank you, the reader, for, uh, reading this. So, thanks.
I used to be a pretty optimistic guy about the Cubs. I'd defend their every move. When the Cubs signed Matt Stairs, I wrote an article proclaiming "CUBS SIGN MATT STAIRS!!" rather than "CUBS SIGN MATT STAIRS??!" In other words, I toed the company line, although my part in the company was just as a paying customer, just like most everybody else.
What was I thinking?
That isn't to say that the Cubs haven't gotten better through the years. I'm sure that during the dark days of 1994, fans everywhere would've been ecstatic to know that ten years later, the Cubs would be completing their second consecutive winning season (and third in four years). During the depressing days of '99, I have no doubt that fans would've been overjoyed to hear that the strong pitching of Kerry Wood would literally carry the club into the NLCS only four short years later. Yes, that's right, there was a time when we Cub fans would've been satisfied with an appearance in the NLCS. Those days are over.
I guess something must've happened on that chilly October evening, when Steve Bartman casually reached out to catch a baseball fouled into the stands. Something bad must've occurred, because Cubs fans are no longer satisfied with 88 wins in a season. They're no longer okay with making the NLCS once a decade. We're just tired of losing, I guess. We're tired of being the laughing stock of baseball. Of being the butt of every joke. We don't love our losers anymore.
But, maybe we've gone too far.
The baseball season lasts six months. 162 games of near-continuous play. Yet, after one bad first-inning, Cubs fans were booing and heckling Kerry Wood. After one blown save, Cubs fans sent LaTroy Hawkins off the mound in a chorus of boos. After a handful of late inning strikeouts, Cubs fans sent Korey ...er, Corey Patterson to the bench amid loud booing.
It's been twelve games, guys.
Let's look at baseball's winningest team, the New York Yankees. Last year, the 101-win Yankees didn't start out too well. In fact, after 19 games, they were a paltry 8-11. They'd just finished a four-game losing streak. Not exactly a great start. I'm sure Steinbrenner's head was ready to explode. But hey, the season didn't end a day later. In fact, by the All Star break, they were 55-31. They even had time to lose 5 of 6 games the week before the break came to pass, yet they still had that good of a record.
In the second half, the Yankees again had a few slides. They went 1-6 at one point in mid August. They had streaks where they lost as many as they won. And their fans - perhaps the most demanding in all of baseball - still saw their team win 101 games on the season.
There will be losing streaks. There will be blown saves. There will be late inning strikeouts. There will be badly pitched first innings. But you know what? There will also be another 150 games this season. 150 opportunities to Get It Right. 150 chances to win. A 6-6 start is utterly meaningless. Hell, just look at the Yankees. They're 4-8. They've lost 4 straight, and 6 out of their last 7. Does anyone doubt that they'll be in the playoffs?
So hey, Cubs fans, calm down a little. Sure, we're cursed with an idiot manager. Ok, we have a leadoff man who likes to swing at pitches that are low and outside. Yeah, we have a closer who spazes out any time he's trying to protect a one-run lead. But you know what? We're going to win. A lot. More than last year. We're going to make the playoffs. If the closer can't close, it's cool, Borowski is coming back. If the leadoff man can't walk, that's alright, Hairston will find a spot in there somewhere. Jim Hendry knows how to make trades, and if this team is lacking come June, I guarantee you they won't be come August. It's only the second week of the season. Let's see how things look after the second month.
You can read Kurt Evans on a regular basis at the best damned Cubs site in baseball, Goat Riders of the Apocalypse. You can also see him live at the improv four nights a week, where he cleans tables, empties the garbage, and cries in the shadows.
optimism, schmoptimism. Feh.
Hey, Bob. Keep it down.
SOME of us appreciate what this guest artist has had to say.
I walk away from this column a better, stronger Cubs fan.
A better, stronger man.
Okay, maybe not, but dude does make some good points.
I particularly enjoyed what this guest columnist wrote about. I back him 100%. ...except for the part about giving LaTroy a chance. That schmuck needs to find the 8th inning like Mike Piazza needs to find a gay bar.
Jason R.
I really prefer Death to Kurt. Maybe he should write more. And what ever happened to Famine? I miss him. His talent knew no bounds.
You would rather DIE than read something I wrote?
...oh. Oh, wait. Uh, I get it now. Never mind.

Curriculum vitae (pdf)
Causal Cognition Lab Website
I am interested in causal and conceptual thinking, reasoning, and decision-making. Our lab group asks how people's prior background knowledge and beliefs influence the judgments they make about new people and situations. Our general approach is to concurrently address basic issues in cognitive science and applied issues in clinical science and practice. From the perspective of cognitive science, our work addresses how causal and explanatory beliefs are mentally represented and organized, and how this representation affects basic cognitive processes such as categorization, memory, judgments, and decision-making. From the perspective of clinical science, we simultaneously examine how people's prior knowledge, beliefs, and expectations influence the assessment and diagnosis of medical and mental illness, memory for patients' symptoms and medical information, judgments of psychological abnormality, decisions about treatment, and prejudice toward and stigmatization of patients. We are also interested in the nature and function of irrational beliefs, and lay criteria for classifying evolving concepts such as unconscious prejudice and mental disorders. Our current work examines these issues in students, lay people, patients, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and primary care physicians.

David Cameron Flies Commercial7/19/10 at 8:00 PMIt's true. The freshly elected British prime minister flew to Washington "slumming it in business class," as one stunned member of his press corps reported. It was a noticeable break of tradition for a British P.M. who—like most government heads—usually travels on his own plane. David Cameron and top aides were "spread out with nothing separating them from hoi polloi," wrote BBC correspondent James Landale. "At least those polloi who can afford business class."
Top Republicans Split With the Tea Party7/19/10 at 8:00 PMIt's the day of reckoning for Republicans and the Tea Party.

Five Things to Watch For in Obama's Oval Office Address6/14/10 at 8:00 PMThe first Oval Office address of Obama's presidency carries high stakes. He'll use the moment to push for an energy bill, while reminding the nation the path to sustainable energy won't be easy.
BYO Energy Bill6/14/10 at 11:45 AMCapitol Hill is still oozing optimism that an energy bill is possible, even inevitable, within the next few months. Why? The gulf spill certainly helps sway opinion toward alternative fuels. As does the deepening oil dependence on unfriendly countries. But politically speaking, energy is the rare political issue with room for both parties to claim victory.

The clock is ticking. Car buyers have until the end of the year to get a tax credit for buying a Honda Civic hybrid, one of the more popular fuel-saving vehicles on the market.
The dying tax credit is the latest in a series of changes chipping away at the financial incentives to buy a hybrid. Tax breaks tied to TM, -0.15% strong-selling Prius, which gets about 46 miles a gallon, and its other hybrid models ended about a year ago. Now, the federal government is phasing out the same incentives on HMC, +1.03% 's Civic hybrid, which gets 42 miles a gallon.
Combine that with the fact that fuel prices have fallen from their historic highs above $4 a gallon this summer, and it's getting a lot more expensive to be an environmentally conscious driver.
Hybrid tax incentives start to go away when a car maker sells its 60,000th alternative-fuel vehicle, a level Toyota reached in mid-2006 and Honda hit in the third quarter of 2007. The amount of the tax credit is first reduced by 50% before disappearing altogether over several months. Honda's tax credit, currently $525, will be phased out by Dec. 31, according to the Internal Revenue Service. The Civic credit had been as high as $2,100 before the phase-out began in January 2008.
Sales of hybrids, though still only about 2% of the overall market, have grown rapidly since the Prius made its debut in the U.S. in 2000. Toyota and Honda were the first to have these vehicles in dealer showrooms when fuel prices started skyrocketing in the past few years.
Hybrids get better mileage because they pair a traditional internal-combustion engine with an electric motor, which is powered by a rechargeable battery. Electric motors boost power to the regular gas engine, allowing auto makers to install smaller, more-efficient motors in hybrid cars. Some hybrids run on electric power alone at low speeds, further saving fuel.
Less Economical
Higher sticker prices and lower fuel costs make hybrids less economical than their gas-engine counterparts because it takes far longer to earn back the hybrid's price premium through savings at the pump. Hybrids can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $7,000 more than conventionally powered cars. The Honda Civic hybrid retails for $21,954, compared with $17,820 for a conventional Civic, according to Edmunds.com, an auto-research firm.
The tax credits, created as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, effectively provide discounts on hybrids and other alternative-fuel cars up to $3,000 and sometimes even more, which help shorten that payback period.
For instance, let's say you buy a Honda Civic, which gets 42 mpg and currently has a $525 credit. Assume you drive 15,000 miles a year with gas prices at $2.91 a gallon. The Civic hybrid's price is some $4,000 higher than a gas-engine Civic, meaning it would take nearly 10 years to recoup the premium in gas savings, according to an Edmunds analysis.
Without the $525 credit, the payback period would be about a year longer, according to Edmunds. With the full $2,100 credit, the payback period would have been only six years.
"If you look at it strictly from a short-term payback perspective, without the tax credits, hybrids make absolutely no sense for the average driver," says president of IRN Inc., a consulting firm in Grand Rapids, Mich. "The tax credit at least made it neutral, if not positive."
A Honda spokesman says the auto maker has no plans to discount its Civic hybrid in light of the disappearing credit. Next year, Honda is releasing a new Insight model, expected to be priced around $19,000, much cheaper than most other hybrids, though it will not be eligible for a tax credit.
In any event, many customers have grown accustomed to hybrids' higher prices and buy them to brandish their environmental credentials, not save money. So dealers and analysts don't expect Toyota and Honda hybrids to suffer disproportionately to other vehicles in today's depressed auto market.
Still, the built-in discount remains a lure for many shoppers. When the $3,150 tax credit on Toyota's Prius started to dwindle in October 2006, so too did its sales. "Prius sales fell off a cliff," says a Toyota dealer in Lake Park, Fla. "It was like someone turned the faucet off."
New Prius Incentives
Manufacturer discounts on hybrids have been rare, but that sales dip prompted Toyota to increase its incentives on the Prius, on top of any remaining government tax breaks. By March 2007, Toyota's average Prius discount had risen to $1,471 from just $54 the previous September, according to Edmunds. Prius sales eventually rebounded and have remained relatively strong over the past year or so. Mr. Stewart says his October Prius sales were the best in about a year despite tough economic conditions.

Bob Schneider can go from a quiet storyteller to a raucous rocker in the matter of seconds. Fans are never disappointed by his lively performances.
If you've never experienced a Bob Schneider show, tonight is your latest chance to do so. I've been following Schneider since his first major label release, Lonelyland (Universal Music Group), in 2001, though he had a colorful history before that with his band, the Scabs, and since then with various small label and independent releases.
I like to think of Bob Schneider as the Steve Poltz of Austin -- he's a great musician, a great storyteller and you never know what to expect at one of his shows. It makes sense that the two are buddies and have spent time recording together. Schneider's touring on his latest release, Lovely Creatures, and the first single is his most played ever on radio. Schneider is the kind of guy who shakes his fans' hands at the end of a show, just like Poltz, which makes him so beloved by so many San Diegans.

Ask these 7 interview questions to avoid hiring duds
With the unemployment rate still hovering at around 8 percent, many small business owners believe that it should be easy to hire great people since so many are out of work. Wrong! Great people are typically the ones that are already employed and, in most economies, are difficult to find.
Here are seven key questions to ask a prospective employee in order to separate the "doers" from "duds."
- What are your goals for this job? Ensure that their personal and career goals match your company goals. This is the golden rule of hiring and retaining qualified people. When these two goals diverge, employees leave or end up being terminated.
- How do your skills complement the other employees that are already working here?The best teams are made of people that have different skills that all collaborate for a common company goal. Don't be afraid to design specific tests around these skills.
- What is your target compensation?Talk about money in the first interview, since many times what you can afford to pay differs from what the employee needs. Don't try to convince an employee into taking a lower salary, since in the long run they will keep looking for one that pays them what they want.
- Ask for specific examples of their success. Many people can give a "good interview," but it is tougher to provide specific examples of how they have been successful in previous jobs. Ask them to discuss specific companies, places, and dates. Do what you can to confirm this information.
- What kind of training did you receive at your last job? This is an indicator of how much training they may need or be willing to accept to do a great job.
- Why did you leave your last job? What would they say about you now?The importance of this question is to see if they are holding any resentment about the last company they worked for. All things being equal, always choose a positive attitude over skill.
- Listen more than speak. Most business owners talk way too much during a job interview. Remember in the first interview, the candidate needs to do the selling.
What questions do you use to conduct an effective interview? Tell us here.

A report from Syracuse University shows Chicago ranks dead last when it comes to prosecuting people for federal gun law violations.
Federal prosecutors in Chicago are challenging the report, claiming most gun cases here are left in county or state courts where offenders can get higher sentences.
NRA officials say it is further proof that law enforcement agencies need to start enforcing the laws already on the books before trying to pass new ones.

Usually when an ex-NFL head coach who has won a Super Bowl interviews for a head coaching job, it's big news. But FOX color analyst and former Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick interviewed for the Philadelphia Eagles head coaching job earlier this week and it went completely under the radar until now.
Reuben Frank from CSNPhilly.com was the first to break the news that Philly quietly interviewed Billick back on Monday.
League source: Eagles interviewed Brian Billick on Monday.
— Reuben Frank (@RoobCSN) January 13, 2013
The news broke as Billick was live on-air as the color commentator for the Falcons-Seahawks game on Sunday which prompted many to initially think Frank was joking. But what's not a laughing matter is the Eagles botched head coaching search up to this point, one that has seen them go after college head coaches that have left them in the dust.
Billick hasn't coached since 2007 when he was replaced by John Harbaugh, but his run with the Ravens wasn't one that's easily forgotten by fans. Billick helped bring the first Super Bowl the Ravens franchise in January of 2001 and put together a staff that was oozing with future head coaching talent. At any point during his tenure as head coach, Billick had guys like Marvin Lewis, Jack Del Rio, Rex Ryan and Mike Smith on his staff — all of which went on to be playoff head coaches in the ten years between the Ravens winning the Super Bowl and the end of the decade.
According to Reuben, Billick is "considered among the leading candidates" to get the job in Philadelphia. No hire has been made yet, but after the way this coaching search has gone, the Eagles will just be happy to get someone on their sidelines.
