Everyday Heroes: A Senator's Story
(from the Spring 2011 issue of esperanza)
By Janice Arenofsky
When longtime Massachusetts legislator Bob Antonioni got elected at age 30, he earned a reputation among his colleagues in Boston for courtesy, quick thinking and hard work.
Antonioni spent four years in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, then began his first term in the state senate in 1992. His busy schedule included hobnobbing with colleagues and constituents, overseeing senate committees on criminal justice and education, and handling law cases for his private practice in his hometown of Leominster.
Yet Antonioni found it harder and harder to carry on, skipping hearings and canceling lunch appointments as his undiagnosed depression grew worse. Finally, after nearly a decade in the senate, an aide found him slumped on his office floor, sobbing and hopeless.
"I said to myself, 'I can't do it anymore,' " recalls Antonioni. "I can't go out there and put on a happy face."
Antonioni had long thought of himself as moody, but never connected his low emotions to depression. The moodiness began to morph into growing frustration over trivialities and increasing anxiety over work demands. His concentration, motivation and energy dwindled. He felt overwhelmed by his responsibilities in the legislature and at his law office.
"It was like having two full-time jobs," says Antonioni, now 52 and retired from politics. "I think it would have been a challenge in the best of circumstances, but coupled with the depression, it became very difficult."
Ultimately, it took a tragic family event to push Antonioni into seeking help-and into a new role as a role model. Click here to read more.

Web designing is a career that has gained sturdy grounds in the past couple of years. Currently, there are innumerable web designers in existence across the globe. This goes along with the great demand of web designers due to the great high of websites being opened each day.
Choosing the best web designer may not be an easy task. Like stated earlier, there are many in existence today. It is important to note that not all web designers can be termed best. As a matter of fact, some are not professionally trained and have no credibility of doing a smart job. For this reason, it is of essence to have in mind some key factors when choosing the best web designer. That way, you will have a guarantee of the best work in the end. Here are some of the key factors to consider:
It is important to note that not all web designers bear valid credentials to ascertain that they are indeed qualified. Such web designers will definitely not reach your expectations in the task you assign them. In this regard, you must seek to see all the academic credential showing that the web designer you have chosen is indeed qualified in the specialization. That way, you will have the confidence that you are dealing with the right person.
Apart from academic qualifications, it is important to take experience into consideration. Establish how long the web designer you have chosen has been in practice. An experienced web designer will always have a guarantee of a commendable job.
To be certain on their experience, you can check their portfolio and also some of the works they have done before. Checking on their previous projects as well as their portfolio will go a long way in guiding you to make the right choice..
The image of the wed designer you have chosen matters a lot. It is of great essence to establish the perception that people have towards a particular web designer. After all, you would not want to hire web designing services from a person who have a blemished image.
To get the best information about the web hosting service provider you have chosen, you can read through different web reviews in their regard. Note that website reviews usually reflect honest opinions from people who have sought the services before. Alternatively, you can ask around from your friend on what they think about a particular web designer. It is unlikely that your friends will mislead you. In the end, you will realize that you have gotten the right person for web design.
Prices for the web designing services should be regarded as a key consideration. You must first seek to know how much you will be required to pay for the services. Note that different web design experts have varying charges on their services. The best idea is to compare different designers and choose the one with considerate charges. Also be sure to choose prices that match with the nature of the services provided.

May 30, 2010
I remember sitting on a big blanket in the sun, getting my tan on, listening to a little tinny sounding transistor radio and saying "I love this song" to almost every song that came on. I remember dancing like the go-go dancers with their little white boots.
Into the 70's I still liked the rockers. Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, but also bands like the Moody Blues, Creedence Clearwater, and a huge Canadian band The Guess Who.
What brings me to this post is the passing of actor Dennis Hopper. I went to see the movie Easy Rider after it came out in 1969. (remember going Wendy??) I was so in love with Peter Fonda.
I still have my Woodstock album but have given away all my other vinyl. Everything is on cd now and I have a huge playlist on my Ipod. We have satellite radio at home and of course I listen to the 60's all the time, usually pretty loud.
As if that isn't enough of the music I also have a DJ playlist on BLIP.FM. My DJ name is lorenglish and you can go there and listen to my whole list of my music picks, many with old old film clips of the performers on shows like Ed Sullivan or Hullabaloo.
Now go put on your go-go boots, your mini skirt, black eyeliner and white lipstick and get dancing.

Seems like we are of an age--for some reason I was thinking I'm older than you. I wasn't big into hard rock, but loved me some Janis Joplin, CCR, and especially The Guess Who. They just don't make music like that anymore--no matter how hard they try. Thanks for the memories!

You are a gal after my own heart. I love old rock and roll too. I will never stop listing to the oldies, but also the new music today. I love my ipod playlists! We were just remembering Dennis Hopper last night--his movies, his life. May he rest in peace.
Happy Memorial Day my friend.

Yes those were the days. I was just informed by one of my new instructors he is totally jealous that I have seen Led Zepplin live and in person - the fact that I am so much older than him and it was just what we did in the 70's doesn't count - does it??
Dennis Hopper truly was an Icon.

I was in love with Dennis Hopper. Not back then because of Easy Rider, but about twenty years ago he made a movie where he kidnapped a girl, (she is a famous blonde starlet, but I can't pull up her face,) and she fell in love with her kidnapper. He was so sexual and just drew me into the movie.
I will miss seeing him on the tube!

Hmm... I'm with you on the miniskirt, the black eyeliner, but you can keep the white boots. I'm a couple of years older than you (was a junior in HS in '69) so I have more sense.
But I like your playlist.
My KIDS would like it too. Amazing -- they listen to the music I listened to at their age. Whatever happened to "Don't trust anyone over 30?"

Hey Lucy!!! I was actually an extra in the movie, Easy Rider! Yup- they filmed some of it in good ol' New Mexico. The part where the two of them were riding around the town plaza with the high school band and when they were in that old decrepit jail is in my home town. I do believe they were stoned ALL the time they were there. LOL
Peter Fonda had a cold and was sniffling away when he signed his autograph for me in his trailer. I loved Dennis Hopper in the movie, Hoosiers. He played a drunk in that part.
Loved the music of that era. It is still my absolute favorite.

Since 2004 we have been an industry leader in bringing the largest selection of high quality surfboards and stand up boards to market at the most competitive prices possible.
We have been able to do so because of a few simple reasons:
In the end this all translate to you getting a lighter, stronger and more buoyant board with the same look, feel and performance of a traditional polyester fiberglass board for a price that's hard to believe.
If for any reason you are not 100% satisfied with your surfboard or paddle board purchase, return it within 30 days from the date of purchase and we will credit you 100% of your original sales amount (including the original shipping charge).
You can even try the board out and return it to us used. All we want is for you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase and to make sure it is the right board for you.
All shipping costs associated with the return are the responsibility of the customer.
Refunds issued on a board that has been used will be in the form of a store credit.
Limit one return per customer within 6-months.
If a new order is placed all shipping costs will apply to the new order.
Knowing the volume of your sup is important in that it relates to your weight and what amount of volume is required to support your weight.
The metric system tells us: 1 liter of volume will float 1kg of weight.
However the amount of volume needed is relative to weight & skills. Thus we multiply a Skill Level Factor x our Weight in kilograms to get a recommended Volume in liters.
Skill Level Factor for Beginner = 2.0
Skill Level Factor for Intermediate = 1.7
Skill Level Factor for advanced = 1.3
Use this simple formula to find your target volume
(your weight in lbs x .44) x Skill Level Factor = Target Volume (Liters)
Example: You are a beginner looking at boards and you weight 195lbs. What volume is right for you?
(195lbs x .44) x 2 = 175
Board Volume (Liters) = 175
If you are a beginner rider and you weigh 195lbs. Your board should have a volume of at least 175 Liters to support your weight.
Suggested Weight
We use the boards volume to compute how much weight each board can support for a given skill level.
These are general suggestions and other factors such a width and thickness determine how the board
will support your weight.
As an example:
The 9'6 Classic has 127 liters of volume.
The suggested weight chart shows:
As a beginner your weight should not exceed 141 lbs
As an intermediate rider your weight should not exceed 166 lbs
As an advanced rider your weight should not exceed 217 lbs

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Here's your chance to tell a 'disc golf brand' what you think.
We are in the sloooooow process of developing new products.
This time it's a new model disc golf bag.
What do you want?
We know about fair pricing, it can't be too expensive or cheap either. No one wants junk.
Colors, size amenities like pockets.... 'digital camo'
Durable, recycled materials (that would be cool)....
Feel free to make a difference.
There are no wrong ideas.
Who knows dps might even give away a new disc golf bag to who has the best idea.
Yeah, we are not just picking your brain.
Oh and this bag will be made in USA.
Views: 507
Must say the Grip bag looks nice.
And is high priced.
Not knowing what it costs to make can't really say.
I personally would love to see a quality small bag-- not exactly like the nutsac but with a concept like that of sorts. I dont use more than 6-8 discs. And I aint using one of the weekender bags cuz they look like a cooler lol.
Definitely need a pocket on the side big enough to hold all my medical MJ accessories -and an insulated drink holder would definitely be nice.
I haven't actually been able to get my hands on one of your bags. I do right now have a Fade tourney bag/straps. But plan on offing those if I can find something smaller and its not called a nutsac... I dont like to put nutsacs on my side, the one between my legs is definitely enough lol.
Just a thought... :)
Good points Ben.
You know it takes money to make products.....
help us grow this sport and get a new improved disc golf product on the market
Dps is having it's gonna get cold sale is on....
See if you can get a better deal!
Versatility is something I really look for in a bag. I generally carry less than 8 discs, but I love having a lot of extra room to carry extra gear. I have a hyzerbomb flak, which is a backpack style carrier. I don't know if you can do this with the Grip eq bags, but I can fit a small cooler, plus 3 - 4 articles of clothing in the bottom compartment. That way I can keep my drinks cold, or stock some yogurt to keep my energy up. And if It gets heats up/cools down I have extra space for layers and such. This is a particularly handy feature for people who like to play in the winter as well.
There is a recycled "Codura" out on the market.
It all comes down to availability.
Patagonia uses a product make of recycled plastic bottles.
Would have to find someone in the industry to find an available product.
To make a freezable pack would be an added expense, increasing the cost of the bag.
But, the idea is feasible to make a pocket for an aftermarket ice pack.
Worth looking into.

Keepin it classy yo
An open letter to Deion Sanders:
I should preface this letter by saying that I think the Redskins made a horrible mistake by signing you in 2000 and that you revealed everything a football fan needed to know about your character when you abruptly retired rather than face Marty Schottenheimer for the 2001 season. If I were Dan Snyder I would have sued for the entire unearned portion of your 8 million dollar signing bonus rather than let you skate with 7.5 million plus your 2000 salary. So I'm not exactly objective here.
That said, you have waded into exactly the wrong story with exactly the wrong argument, and you should stop digging because you are in a deep hole. Your column in the 22 July 2007 Southwest Florida News-Press defends Michael Vick and purports to wonder why we are all making such a big fuss.
Shame on you sir.
Allow me to elaborate with the convenience of your own words. FYI, your words appear in blockquote throughout:
I would've never thought Mike Vick, one of the NFL's most exciting players — the man who makes the network execs smile every time he plays — would ever be indicted for crimes against man's best friend.
The potential impact could be devastating.
Impact to what? Society's collective sense of decency? Decades of effort by animal rights advocates? The not-so-clean as a whistle image of the NFL? No, in your mind this case could be devastating to Michael's earnings, to Michael's marketability and/or to Michael's reputation.
Deion, no matter what Lindsay Lohan Hollyworld you live in, no one is worried about the impacts on poor Michael and how he's doing. He engaged deliberately in activities that are at once illegal and despicable and he will forever be known this way now. The level of adulation you seem to think Falcons fans or NFL fans have for yourself and other players simply is not there.
What a dog means to Vick might be a lot different than what he means to you or I.
At the risk of turning this into a comedy sketch, I think this is obvious at this point. When we are discussing what a dog 'means,' it is assumed that a dog is valued for his life and for his very existence. Whether your dog is a barnyard hound or a precious little yapper in a purse-carrier, we can agree that the social contract between dogs and humans dictates their lives to humans are not simply to preserve or snuff out on a whim, which is what happens in dogfighting. That's why we have laws against this stuff.
And some people enjoy proving they have the biggest, toughest dog on the street. You're probably not going to believe this, but I bet Vick loves the dogs that were the biggest and the baddest.
In the same way that slave owners in ancient Rome loved their gladiator-slaves. Life was good for those slaves, as long as they kept killing and were not killed. Another way to say this would be that if your sense of Michael's love is in fact accurate then for him to love and keep alive a dog that dog must put to death other dogs, whose owners presumably loved until they lost and then did not love so much. Again, the social contract dictates that proving you have the biggest and baddest dog cannot include using that dog wantonly to kill other creatures, which is why pit bulls are illegal in Denver and other cities.
...I must ask the question: Where is all of this going?
To trial. In federal court. In November. Don't pretend this is some bullshit witchunt or some existentialist quandary for the ages. Michael and his non-famous co-conspirators are accused of committing very serious crimes. That is the actionable reality and the only thing that matters about this case.
These next blockquotes condense paragraphs 15 to 19 in order to make a point, and I will even spare you the exercise of evaluating the wisdom of quoting a character from New Jack City, the 1991 paean to the 80s inner city crack wars in order to make a point about how Michael is not the problem here:
Why are we indicting him? Was he the ringleader? ...They apparently found carcasses on the property, but I must ask you again, is he the ringleader? ...Are we using Vick to get to the ringleader? Are we using him to bring an end to dogfighting in the United States?
The only thing I can gather from this situation is that we're using Vick.
Was he wrong? Absolutely. Was he stupid? Can't argue with that. Was he immature? No doubt. But is he the ringleader? I just can't see it.
Repeating the 'ringleader?' meme is seeking portray Michael as some cog in the wheel, some schlub that got in over his head. Fact is that is irrelevant, you do not have to be a bloodsport breeding, boarding and banging kingpin for it to be wrong, or a crime. And YES, 'we' are using Michael and 'we' would use him to bring an end to this despicable practice in this country and on this planet if we could. 'We' are using him to make an example of how poorly society thinks of dogfighting and 'we' are using him to find the ringleader, if that is not Michael. You are certain that is not Michael, but I am not so sure.
I believe Vick had a passion for dogfighting. I know many athletes who share his passion. The allure is the intensity and the challenge of a dog fighting to the death. It's like ultimate fighting, but the dog doesn't tap out when he knows he can't win.
It reminds me of when I wore a lot of jewelry back in the day because I always wanted to have the biggest chain or the biggest, baddest car. It gives you status.
Two big flags on this one, Deion. First, the athletes you know that have a passion for dogfighting have a sick obsession with cruelty to animals and illegal activities, so I will paraphrase my mother to make this point: if the millionaire athlete in the next locker spent thousands reveling in a sadist obsession with power and death, would you? Second, '...when I wore a lot of jewelry back in the day...'? Um, I know you cannot write 800 words without mentioning yourself twice, but likening your puerile need to be blingy to a dogfighting racket is evidence of either a sense of self so comically elevated that you will use any situation to remind your reader of the author, or so out of touch that you really think you and and Mr. T are like, badass dudes that symbolize power, demand respect and inspire a cultlike following.
Can I pause for a moment to ask you a question?
Who shot Darrant Williams? Remember the Denver Bronco cornerback? I'm just more concerned about bringing to justice someone who killed a human. Or finding out who broke into Miami Heat forward Antoine Walker's home, tied him up and robbed him at gunpoint.
First Deion, his name was Darrent, not Darrant. When using someone's misfortune, be they dead or alive, to illustrate a point, it is best and respectful to get that person's name right.
This is a classic attempt at the 'scale/scope' sleight of hand. Falling to your knees you scream, tiny fists of rage shaking at the sky, how can we care about the latest celebrity scandal when CHILDREN ARE STARVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the first place, Darrent was shot and killed in Denver, not Surry Virginia and so it is reasonable to assume that the search for Darrent's killer will not take resources directly away from the investigation of the sick bloodsport conducted at Michael's house, the house he owns in Virginia. Same goes for Antoine's plight. You insult your audience when you assume that they are incapable of parsing the murder of a human, the assault and battery of another and the twisted and inhumane behavior of others.
Then again by your logic, there would have been no need to arrest you for trespassing on airport property BECAUSE SOMEONE DIED IN INDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're attacking this dogfighting ring the same way a teenager attacks his MySpace page after school (by the way parents, make sure you monitor your kids). We should have the same passion for man that we have for man's best friend.
As a parent, I appreciate the influence celebrities have in the lives of young people, so thanks for taking time out from apologizing for a sick bastard to remind my kids to be safe online.
Seriously Deion, this paragraph makes no sense. We are attacking this dogfighting ring the same way a teenager attacks his MySpace page? I don't have teenage kids and there were no internets when I was a teenager, but I can pretty safely say that teens these days do not attack MySpace, Facebook, YouTube or any of the other new century social networks with the intent of eradicating them completely. Yes, I got your point, that 'we' are obsessing on this dogfighting issue the same way the kids these days spend time in their little worlds, and that we are ascribing more importance to the dogfighting than there is in real life, just like a teenager thinks what happens on his MySpace page really 'matters.' I get it. That's just a really really bad analogy. Hall of Fame bad.
The reason this is turning into a three-ring circus is that baseball is boring, basketball is months away, football is around the corner and we in the media don't have a thing interesting to write about.
No, the reason we are making such a big deal about this is because dogfighting is a bunch of sick fucks sending dogs into a ring to kill or be killed. Dogs that are abused until they comply and fight, or are killed if they do not. And those that do, well they have a shelf life, not unlike a professional athlete. Except you are still here to write stupid shit about how it's really no big deal what Michael did, and not dead as a result of the sport someone else made you play until you died. Oh, and you used to play baseball at the professional level. It's interesting to hear you call it boring.
I'll go a step further here. If Michael was not involved in this case, you would not have written anything about it at all, unless it caught your eye for its heinousness at which point you would have written a piece condemning the non-famous perpetrators given your absolute allegiance to your working dogs. Which of course would be hypocrisy.
And finally, something you and I can agree upon:
How will this end up? I have no idea. All I know is Falcons fans better pray because Vick's backup is Joey Harrington. Enough said.
Amen to that. How hilar is it that the Falcons, your first NFL team, finalized the trade of future star Matt Schaub to the Texans less than a month before we started hearing about Michael's little side project? This could not have happened to a better guy or a smarter team. Arthur Blank is choking on his Ensure as we speak.
Deion, you are ignorant, willfully or otherwise, of the magnitude of these charges. You should retract your comments and bow out of this debate.
Benjamin F. Folsom III
The Curly R
It is worth noting that Deion's colum did not go over well. All five letters to the editor published on 25 July in response to Deion's column condemned it. ESPN then picked it up, and the News-Press reprinted Deion's column...twice, here and here. Disclaimer: I don't know John Kincaid, who picked up the story and was substituting on ESPN Radio for Colin Cowherd, but Colin can go to hell.
In the middle of reveling in the coverage value of being at the center of a paper-selling and traffic-generating story, the News-Press remembered it had a responsibility and made sure to condemn dogfighting, sort of, in an editiorial. Nice balls you don't have there News-Press.
Finally, and this is almost comical, Deion RESPONDED TO THE CRITICS in the paper. At this point, the News-Press is Kramer and Newman on Phil Donahue's set, setting up the squirrel and the falcon, rubbing their hands and counting their money as Deion squirms and the readers go apeshit. Go and read it for yourself, but if I can paraphrase, Deion was misunderstood (what he wrote would have come off better if you had seen him say it on TV), he loves dogs (some of his best friends are dogs) and he is praying for Michael (if you had God appearing in the case on 28 July, email me, you win the pool).
This is not a bullshit case, this is real and I hope Michael Vick's profile serves to throw some sunlight on a 'sport' that has long dwelled in the shadows at the fringes of acceptability, apparently, if you ask Deion Sanders and Clinton Portis.
Update 2 August 2007: the NFL (Network) bites Deion in the ass.
Deion Sanders mugshot from here. In June 1996, Deion was charged with having an oversize sense of celebrity entitlement for ignoring No Trespassing signs and fishing anyway on property owned by Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers, Florida.

Often, it's the self-employed who get into this trouble by missing quarterly payments and never catching up, says Greta Hicks, a Houston-based CPA who once worked for the IRS. But in these economic times especially, people of all kinds are getting behind. "Some have to withdraw [money] from retirement plans and IRAs. And then they owe taxes on that."
Do you owe the IRS right now? The first thing to do is open all mail from the agency so you're on top of the matter. Next, stay calm. Well, it's understandable if you panic a little, because the IRS wields power that can make your life miserable.
Depending on your situation, the agency can take your paycheck and your bank and retirement accounts, Hicks notes. And more: "They'll seize land, business assets, cars — anything they can auction and turn into cash quickly."
But all is not lost if you act now. Consider the following six strategies to get back in good graces with Uncle Sam:
1. Ask for more time. Depending on your circumstances, you may be granted a short extension period to pay your tax in full. You can request this by filling out an application for an online payment agreement or by calling 800-829-1040.
2. Try for an installment plan. If you owe $50,000 or less in combined taxes, penalties and interest, you can fill out the application for an online payment agreement. If your bill is more than $50,000, you'll also need to use paper form 433-A (PDF) (for self-employed individuals), 433-B (PDF) (for partnerships, corporations and limited liability corporations) or 433-F (PDF) (for your personal household taxes). Be prepared to divulge accurate financial details. Fees for setting up payment plans can range from $43 to $105.

The conference offered law and policy analysis and discussion on cutting-edge immigration issues. Featured panelists included high-ranking government officials, academics, advocates, and other immigration experts.
Doris Meissner, Director of the U.S. Immigration Policy Program at MPI, offers her knowledge and expertise regarding border security in this testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
This discussion focuses on the MPI report, "Executive Action on Immigration: Six Ways to Make the System Work Better," which outlines administrative actions that can be implemented to improve the immigration system.
287(g) programs have surged into the public consciousness in recent years. Now operating in 72 jurisdictions, the 287(g) program authorizes state and local law enforcement officers to screen people for immigration status, issue detainers to hold unauthorized immigrants on immigration violations, and begin the process of their removal from the United States.
In a report by MPI's Labor Markets Initiative, noted economist and Georgetown University Public Policy Institute Professor Harry J. Holzer examines the economic reasoning and research on these questions and looks at the policy options that shape the impact of less-skilled immigration on the economy. The discussion is on what policy reform would best serve native-born American workers, consumers, and employers, as well as the overall U.S. economy.
A discussion on the gains that young adult immigrants or the U.S.-born children of immigrants have made in education and employment, with speakers: Michael Fix, Jeanne Batalova, Andrew P. Kelly, Raul Gonzalez, and Margie McHugh.

Comments about Blu Dot Modu-licious #1:
I needed a small piece of furniture to serve as a media storage cabinet as well as a place for my Apple TV (the little black box) to sit. The location is small and adjacent to a window, both width and depth limited. The Modu-licious #1 was almost the correct size for the space. Assembly was straight forward after I oriented the pieces correctly. The steel drawer fronts are thick and substantial. The draw glides actions are slightly stiff when completely closing the draw. I like the look of the red and gray drawers with the light maple wood. I wish it was about $100 cheaper, then I would consider it a steel (steal)!

In the end, after all the unskewing, the re-weighting and the hand-wringing, the polls were right — for the most part.
For months, pundits and pollsters debated whether public surveys were capturing accurate snapshots of the coming electorate, with conservatives in many cases alleging that polls were sampling too many Democrats and providing an artificial boost to Democratic candidates. These polls, and the averages and statistical models based on them, such as Real Clear Politics, Pollster.com, and The New York Times's blog FiveThirtyEight, drove the spurious narrative that President Obama held a significant advantage in the states most likely to decide the White House race, they argued.
Those critics were wrong, as Tuesday night showed, and the polls were correct: Obama did have that advantage, and it has propelled him to a second term. But the election also showed the polling industry is still facing increasing challenges related to how the various polls are conducted. The demographics of the country are changing, and the way in which Americans communicate with one another is changing even faster; both of these movements are significant threats to the future of telephone polling, whether conducted by live interviewers or automated computers.
Both live-caller and automated robo-polling methodologies had their share of hits and misses at the national and state levels. Nationally, polls from ABC News/Washington Post, NBC News/Wall Street Journal, and Pew Research Center performed well, while Gallup and the automated pollster Rasmussen Reports missed the mark, mostly showing Romney leading by various margins over the final few weeks of the campaign. The latter two are so prolific that Democratic groups commissioned their own set of polls late in the campaign to provide a counterweight to their results.
At the state level, some polls again performed fairly well, while others were less predictive. Overall, in many swing states, while Obama led in the averages produced by websites like Real Clear Politics and The Huffington Post's Pollster, he outperformed those averages.
"If anything, the polls understated" Obama's margin of victory, said Mark Blumenthal, the cofounder and editor of Pollster.
Blumenthal, speaking on Thursday at an event at the National Press Club, added that automated pollsters like Rasmussen Reports and the recently emerged, Florida-based firm Gravis Marketing were "the reason that those estimates" were too pessimistic for Obama. Those firms produced polls that consistently showed Obama underpeforming relative to other polls and the final election results. For example, Rasmussen's final polls showed Obama trailing by 3 percentage points in Colorado, 2 points in Florida and Virginia, and 1 point in Iowa. In Ohio and Wisconsin, the final Rasmussen polls showed Obama tied with Mitt Romney.
In most cases, these automated polls call only landline phones, though some firms, such as Rasmussen, augment their polls with self-selected Internet panels of respondents who only own cell phones as a means of incorporating the more than a third of Americans who are cell-only. The cell-only population tends to be younger, less white and is more likely to rent rather than own their homes, compared to the overall population. Automated polls do not meet National Journal's standards for publication, partly because of the cell phone issue.
As a result of their methodology, automated polls often miss younger, more racially diverse voters; that is particularly true of automated polls conducted in a single day, like those from Rasmussen. Their respondents are disproportionately older and whiter. But turnout did not drop among younger voters as some pollsters had predicted, according to exit polls. And the percentage of the electorate that was white continued to drop, to just 72 percent.
Asked by Slate about why his polls showed a closer race, if not a slight Romney advantage, Scott Rasmussen cited these two factors. "The two differences I noted were share of white vote falling to 72 percent," Rasmussen told Slate. "Also, youth turnout higher and senior turnout lower than expected."
The same phenomenon appeared to develop among some live-caller pollsters, both Republican and nonpartisan. For example, the independent firm Mason-Dixon Polling & Research produced two polls for Florida's two biggest newspapers over the campaign's final month that showed Romney ahead by 7 points and 6 points, respectively. The Miami Herald published a story on Wednesday acknowledging that these polls undersampled young and Hispanic voters.
These polls may have underestimated turnout among these groups because they were less likely to pass through the pollsters' likely-voter screens — batteries of questions that measure respondents' self-reported intention to vote, the attention they are paying to the campaign, their enthusiasm about voting, their voting history and other qualities typically predictive of behavior on Election Day.

Goals: The Chang'e 2 orbiter was China's second lunar mission. Expanding on the goals of the Chang'e 1 mission, it was a technical test satellite for future Chinese lunar missions. Its principal objectives are to return high resolution images of the lunar surface to aid in selection of a future landing site for another mission.
Accomplishments: The orbiter completed all of its assigned tasks at the moon, including photographing possible sites for a proposed future unmanned landing, according to China's State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence.
Although the orbiter was only supposed to remain in space for six months, the spacecraft had fuel reserves enough to send it from the moon to an orbit around Lagrangian point L2 about 1.5 million km away from Earth, where gravity from the sun and Earth balances the orbital motion of a satellite, and additional science operations.

East Tennessee State Defeats UT-Martin in Overtime Thriller, 14-7
Friday, September 12, 2003MARTIN, Tenn. (Sept. 11, 2003) -- Redshirt freshman quarterback Carl Meadows (Cummings, Ga.) hooked up with senior wide receiver Andrew Nuckolls (Tunnell Hill, Ga.) on a 22-yard touchdown to give the Bucs a 14-7 victory on the first possession of overtime Thursday night from Martin, Tenn. With the win, the Bucs raise their record to 2-1 on the season, while UT-Martin falls to 1-2. The Bucs even their record in overtime games at 2-2 with the victory in the first-ever matchup between the in-state schools. East Tennessee State opened the game by giving the Skyhawks a steady dose of running back Gaven Varner (Summerville, S.C.). The senior rushed for 96 yards in the first half and 162 yards in the game, but the Bucs could not get the ball in the end zone in the first half due to a strong effort by the UTM defense. Tennessee-Martin took the lead with 10:37 remaining in the first half as wideout Sanders Trent hauled in a 50-yard strike from quarterback Brett Hall for the first touchdown of the night. The play immediately followed a block of an Aaron Bass (Clinton, Tenn.) punt by linebacker David Gilmore. The Bucs came out of the locker room rejuvenated for the second half, tying the game with a touchdown just over two and a half minutes into the second quarter. After Varner rushed three times for 25 yards and Meadows completed two passes to senior fullback Nick Spearman (Summerville, S.C.), Nuckolls caught a screen pass and raced down the sideline for a 27-yard touchdown. Following that drive, the defenses took over, as neither team mounted a serious threat for the remainder of the quarter. UT-Martin drove to the ETSU 33 with their opening drive of the fourth quarter, but running back Andrew Staten was stopped for no gain on fourth down by senior defensive end Travis Williams (Bristol, Tenn.) and redshirt freshman linebacker Mike Cullen (Roswell, Ga.). The game got very interesting late in the fourth quarter, with ETSU players making plays that were literally game-saving. After a 49-yard punt return by Tennessee-Martin's Jason Coleman gave the Skyhawks the ball in ETSU territory with just over four minutes remaining, junior cornerback Allen Davis (Mullins, S.C.) made a leaping interception at the Buccaneer 17 yard line. After a three-and-out by the Bucs, Coleman again had a long punt return, but as he was being tackled, ETSU junior running back Austin Smiley (Memphis, Tenn.) came up from behind and stripped the ball and covered it at the Buccaneer 21 with 2:42 left on the clock. Tennessee-Martin then came up with a big play, intercepting Meadows at the ETSU 40 with just 1:30 remaining in regulation. The Skyhawks drove the ball deep into Buccaneer territory, eventually having a first and goal on the four with just seconds remaining. After the ETSU defensive line stuffed three rushing attempts, UTM went for a game-winning field goal on fourth and goal from the one. Kicker Brent Harris lined up for the kick, but Davis stormed in from the right corner and blocked the kick to send the game into overtime. The Bucs wasted not time getting on the board in the overtime period, with the pass from Meadows to Nuckolls coming on just the third play. The defense again came up big on UT-Martin's subsequent drive, stopping the Skyhawks again in the red zone as junior safety Gerald Sensabaugh (Kingsport, Tenn.) knocked down a pass on fourth down to stall the drive at the ETSU three. Meadows finished the evening 15-for-31 with 137 yards passing, two touchdowns and an interception. Hall, his UT-Martin counterpart threw for 165 yards on 12-of-25 passing, but threw two interceptions and one touchdown. Varner led the ETSU ground attack with his 32 carries for 162 yards while UTM was paced by Staten who earned 99 yards on 32 carries. It was the second game of the season that Varner had 30-or more carries and 160-or more yards. He had 165 yards on 37 carries in the season-opener against Eastern Michigan on Aug. 28. Nuckolls led the Buccaneer receivers with five receptions for 64 yards and the two scores. Sophomore wideout Brian Matthews (Georgetown, S.C.) also had five catches, but for 35 yards. Coming into this season, Nuckolls had two receiving touchdowns and four touchdowns overall in his ETSU career. With two receiving touchdowns in each of the last two games, Nuckolls already has four TD's this season. Several Buccaneers had big nights on the defensive side of the ball, led by Cullen who had 13 tackles, one for a loss. Sensabaugh had eight tackles while Williams and junior linebacker Scott Brumett (Pioneer, Tenn.) each had seven stops. Williams had three tackles for a loss while Brumett and senior linebacker Matt Palmer (Summerton, S.C.) each had two. The Bucs return to action on Saturday, Sept. 20 at Elon for their Southern Conference season opener. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. from Rhodes Stadium in Elon, N.C.

(Click here to see a photo gallery of Jack Johnson at Bonnaroo 2013. http://tnne.ws/12Echh9)
On the heels of his last-minute headlining slot before a massive crowd at this weekend's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, Jack Johnson has announced a Nashville date at the intimate Ryman Auditorium.
The show will be at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2. Tickets will be $69.90 and $55.40, plus applicable service charges, and will be available exclusively through a lottery on http://jackjohnsonmusic.com/welcome/ -- a move designed to allow fans a fair shot at tickets for the intimate theater shows on Johnson's fall tour. From now until 9 a.m. Central Monday, June 24, fans can enter the lottery for a chance to purchase up to four tickets a show. Winners will be selected after June 24 and receive emails with purchase instructions. See http://www.ryman.com/ for more information.
The singer, songwriter and surfer stepped in at the last-minute for one of three headlining slots at the sold-out Bonnaroo 2013. British folk-rock phenoms Mumford & Sons were forced to pull out of their Saturday-night show on Thursday because of Ted Dwane's medical condition. Earlier in the week, it was announced that the bassist had a blood clot on his brain that would require surgery. The Grammy-winning folk-rock group postponed three concerts in Texas and New Orleans, but expected to continue with its headlining gig at Bonnaroo. The morning after the cancellation, Johnson was announced as the replacement.
Johnson's fall headline tour supports his sixth studio album, "From Here To Now To You," scheduled for release Sept. 17 through his Brushfire Records. Listen to its first single "I Got You" here: http://jackjohnsonmusic.com/archive/news/listen_to_jacks_new_single_i_got_you/

- I had asked; where exactly is it manufactured??
You have replied; It is made in the U.S. .
This does not answer my question, I'm quite astute, and was able to read the website to ascertain that it is made in the US, so again i ask where exactly is this made?
Thank you.
- I had difficulty with this question.
LuminAID Lab, based in Chigago, is the manufacturer and producer of LuminAID lights. Various media refer to LuninAID as 'made in the US', but the official LuminAID website does not post this information.
I have emailed them for more specific information and will reply when they let me know. Here is their contact page if you want to contact them youself. http://www.luminaid.com/contact/
