Minimum-Delay Service Provisioning in Opportunistic Networks
Opportunistic networks are created dynamically by exploiting contacts between pairs of mobile devices that come within communication range. While forwarding in opportunistic networking has been explored, investigations into asynchronous service provisioning on top of opportunistic networks are unique contributions of this paper. Mobile devices are typically heterogeneous, possess disparate physical resources, and can provide a variety of services. During opportunistic contacts, the pairing peers can cooperatively provide (avail of) their (other peer's) services. This service provisioning paradigm is a key feature of the emerging opportunistic computing paradigm. The authors develop an analytical model to study the behaviors of service seeking nodes (seekers) and service providing nodes (providers) that spawn and execute service requests, respectively.

The Senate Makes It Up to Pedro Espada
And Espada makes it up to someone who funneled money meant for AIDS patients into his campaign.
The hiring of Pedro Espada's son, Pedro G. Espada, didn't quite work out according to plan. But the recently crowned Senate majority leader isn't the type of guy to put all his eggs in one basket, either. In fact, in the midst of the uproar over his son, Espada was able to secure jobs and raises totaling $350,000 for some of his close friends, all of whom, we're sure, were both totally necessary and utterly qualified. People like Jerry Love. Jr, whose mom, an employee of Espada's Soundview health clinic, pleaded guilty in 2004 to funneling state money designated for AIDS treatment into Espada's political campaign. Think what you will about the guy you can't say he's not a good friend.

Sacrificing the neediest is no reform
Published: Sunday, February 27, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 27, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
Helping Hand Developmental Center serves our most vulnerable population.
Many, though not all, of the children at Helping Hand are handicapped. Some lack nearly all normal motor skills. Some can communicate only through use of special machines that help them make simple commands. More juice, for instance, or more green beans.
For some children well past toddler age, walking a few steps is a major triumph.
Helping Hand is a community-based program serving local children. Part of its operating revenue comes from the usual alphabet soup of state and federal agencies. But it also gets money from families of the children, the Department of Social Services, the Department of Public Instruction, the United Way, Helping Hand's own fund-raisers and other charities. It uses space provided by Blue Ridge Community College.
Helping Hand, one might guess, is exactly the sort of community-based option the Legislature had in mind when it enacted a massive mental health overhaul. That overhaul, which sponsors called reform, was intended to shift care from state institutions to clients' hometowns. It was intended to give local government and new regional oversight bodies the ownership of programs for the mentally ill.
The local center serves a segment of the population that everyone can agree deserves a helping hand, as it were, and in a way that draws on community support. Helping Hand, in other words, would seem to be the model that state leaders envisioned when they reformed mental health services.
Why is it then that the "reform" could reduce Helping Hand's budget by 16 percent?
Only the state department heads and legislators can answer that, and they should.
The reform's move toward privatization has already resulted in the closing of several public day-care centers for developmentally disabled children around the state.
Helping Hand has survived but it has been hurt because the reform has swamped the limited supply of case workers and slowed approval for new slots.
"We're not getting the referrals as quickly, and the children are not getting placed as quickly," director Susan Deans told Times-News reporter Scott Parrott in a story Feb. 21. "I've gotten calls from mothers very upset about the transition and getting lost in the shuffle. It's very difficult for everyone around."
The facility serves children with special needs, most of them over 3 years old. For children older than 3, the center receives payment through the Department of Public Instruction. For the younger clients, the new rules have created confusion and delay.
"It eventually will work out, but in the meantime, there's a lot of frustrations, a lot of families not being served," Deans says.
Because of another reorganization in Raleigh and limited funding, Helping Hand faces the potential loss of $109,000 for the budget year beginning July 1.
That hardly seems like a wise reform. If the mental health reform is to live up to its mission of keeping care close to home, then Helping Hand ought to be one local center that gets state funding.
A mental health restructuring that cannot continue to serve a population that needs help most of all is change unworthy of the name reform.

Before lockout, MN Orchestra purchased dozen of URLs around "Save Our Orchestra"
A photo on the Musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra website showing members who've left in recent years.
The Minnesota Orchestral Association was six weeks into labor negotiations with its musicians in 2012 when it purchased at least 12 domain names with variations of the phrase "Save Our Minnesota Orchestra."
On Wednesday, Song of the Lark, a blog run by Emily Hogstad, revealed that those URLs were scooped up by the association more than four months before the musicians were locked out of Orchestral Hall.
SEE ALSO: Forum tonight on the MN Orchestra as conductor's possible resignation looms
A search of public records by City Pages has verified that 12 of the 13 URLs listed on Hogstad's blog had been purchased by the the association through May 2014.
The records suggest that the association had been preparing for a long-term fight with the musicians almost from the beginning.
The Minnesota Orchestral Association could not immediately be reached for comment on Thursday.
Hogstad wrote that she discovered the URL purchases while helping some local friends look up the domain name for the newly formed Save Our Symphony Minnesota. It plans to rally on behalf of the musicians and has ties to a group that's supporting the similarly troubled orchestra in Detroit.
She speculated that the association's purchasing of URLs was "meant to outwit and irritate angry patrons and donors."

Taiwan Bond Yield Drops to Lowest This Month After Exports Fall
Taiwan's 10-year bonds rose, pushing the yield to the lowest level in almost two weeks, as falling exports and the U.S. debt gridlock saw investors favor the relative safety of sovereign notes.
Overseas shipments, which account for around three-quarters of the island's economy, slumped 7 percent in September from a year earlier after rising in the previous four months, official data showed yesterday. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index closed at the lowest level in a month yesterday, after Asian stocks slid for a second day, as U.S. lawmakers remained deadlocked over extending the nation's debt limit to avoid a default.
"It's a reflection of yesterday's economic data and the U.S. stock market," said Sandy Liao, a fixed-income trader at KGI Securities Co. in Taipei. "Some buying sentiment has emerged for bonds."
The yield on the 1.75 percent government notes due September 2023 fell two basis points to 1.649 percent, according to Gretai Securities Market. That is the lowest level for benchmark 10-year bonds since Sept. 26. Taiwan will sell NT$30 billion ($1 billion) of five-year securities at 1.16 percent tomorrow, according to the median estimate of 10 fixed-income traders surveyed by Bloomberg News.
Taiwan's dollar closed little changed today at NT$29.542 against its U.S. counterpart, prices from Taipei Forex Inc. show. The currency dropped 0.5 percent in the final 14 minutes of trading on suspected intervention by the central bank. The monetary authority has sold the local dollar in the run-up to the close on most days since March 2012, according to traders who asked not to be identified.
One-month non-deliverable forwards on the Taiwan dollar were little changed at NT$29.32 against the greenback, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. One-month implied volatility, a gauge of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, dropped seven basis points to 3.94 percent.
The overnight interbank lending rate was steady at 0.385 percent, a weighted average compiled by the Taiwan Interbank Money Center showed.

The mine rescue team from Missouri University of Science and Technology earned second place in the novice division of a national simulated mine emergency competition.
The novice category is for teams competing at a national event for the first time. The team also earned fifth place in the first aid division.
Thirty-nine professional teams and one other university team competed in the 2014 National Metal and Nonmetal Mine Rescue Contest Aug. 4-7 in Lexington, Kentucky.
The contest, which is designed to test the teams' rescue skills during a simulated mine disaster, included four events: field contest, technician team, first aid and team trainer test. Each event included a written examination. Missouri S&T's gold team earned 19th overall at the competition.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) judged the competition and determined the winners. MSHA also provided the competition's field, written and technical problems for the event.

I heard it in a recent TV episode. Someone walks with a limp (probably a ruptured Achilles' heel), and the doctor mentions that he had the accident "blowing a dismount on a keg stand".

"Blowing" in this sense means getting wrong, screwing up, etc.
"a dismount" is an attempt to get off something ("The part of a routine in which the gymnast detaches from an apparatus.")
I had no idea what a "keg stand" is, but Wikipedia helped me out.
Read up on gymnastics for an answer. That question if too generalized to be suitably answered on a site other then for gymnastics aficionados. Blow it is an expression meaning to fail.

Booner, reading through this whole thread I can't help but think your side of the story is seriously skewed. You sound overcome with bitterness and hate and it just doesn't make sense.
I would point out to everyone that there are very good reasons why someone in the daughter's position NEEDS the support from the parents.
When a child fills out a FAST for federal aid, they have to list their parents income. Depending on the parent's income this severely limits the financial aid they can receive. The only way around this is to file a special circumstances.
The accusation that she is not in school sounds dubious. You've thrown so many unrelated ad hominem attacks at this girl it's very hard to take your word for it.
You don't know anything about this family so I'm not sure why you are passing judgment. I think Booner has lots of reason to be upset. The daughter is happy to take their money but doesn't want any kind of relationship with the family. That is very hurtful. There are plenty of 20 year olds in college working hard to get themselves through school.The FAFSA thing is silly. My parents make a lot of money (a lot) and I still got fairly decent financial aid.
Ultimately, I don't think you should make such harsh comments about something you have no idea about and something that is not your business. This is a very sensitive family matter and we can all tell Bonner is very torn up about it. If you don't believe her, it is fairly easy to move on to a new thread without making a comment

The clock is just fine....it is setting the darn thing. I have a B & B and put them in each room. Now they go off all hours of the day and night and no one can program them. I keep the directions under the clock in each room but it is written so small...so far they are just an annoyance. I have even tried to turn everything else off but the clock telling time....and it can't be done (over 6 people have tried).
The radio part of the clock radio is very poor, can not tune to more than two stations in an area of many available stations. The clock / alarm part is also difficult to understand and set up. Not really satisfied with my purchase!

Minor League Manager Adds Another Hilarious Rant to His Stellar Resume
Every person in professional sports likes to leave a legacy behind once their days in the game are done. Some legacies are great and some aren't. For minor league manager Joe Mikulik, what his legacy in the game will be is up for debate. If you like watching managers completely lose their cool at umpires, then it's legendary.
Mikulik already has two memorable moments on his resume while arguing calls on the field, but this one may take the cake. He's now the manager of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, Single-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. He disagreed with a call at the plate in the fifth inning of a 9-1 loss to Salem Red Sox, and wouldn't leave until he got his point across. That included getting comfortable by taking his jersey and spikes off in the process.
This argument starts like any other. His excessive finger-pointing and likely some magic words led to his ejection. Mikulik has never been one to not get his money's worth, and his rant went into overdrive once he got the boot. Outside of him physically taking off his clothes and placing them at home plate, my favorite part included his two separate slides into home so he could specifically show why the umpire's call was wrong.
His prior to blowups came while managing the Asheville Tourists, the Single-A affiliate for the Colorado Rockies. This one happened in 2006:
And this one happened in 2012:
Clearly, his go-to move is acting out the play again while he argues.
You'd never know it from these rants, but Mikulik has been a very successful minor league manager. He won over 800 games with the Tourists during his time with the organization, was named the South Atlantic League Manager of the year three times and is also in the SAL Hall of Fame. He's been coaching at the Single-A level for a long time, showing he has a knack for developing young talent.
However, it's these kinds of rants that have given him the most exposure in the baseball world. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing depends on who you ask. He can make any game exciting if he goes off the deep end, but I wonder if he has any high blood pressure issues.

The love lyric directed at the beloved muse has a lengthy tradition, from Sappho and Catullus to Petrarch, through Shakespeare, Sidney and Donne, and into the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The muse, as the conventional addressee of the lyric, plays a crucial role in enabling the poem to come into being: she is the absent presence towards whom the poet's words are directed. But the gendered positioning of the muse/poet relationship, reiterated throughout literary history, means that the lyric muse has proved a particularly problematic concept for women poets. Due to the concept of the muse, women have been consistently associated with the passive, inspiring role rather than that of active creator – that role is preserved for men. This, along with other social and cultural factors, made it particularly difficult for women poets to claim the role of poet for themselves. In response to the issues outlined above, this chapter poses the following questions: how do women poets play with the gendered conventions of the lyric genre in order to reconceptualise the poet/muse relationship? Do they claim a muse of their own? Do they try to write as both muse and poet? Or do they reject the concept of the muse entirely? The first part of this chapter traces the development of the muse figure in historical poetic tradition. The second part then interrogates the problematic aspects of this concept for women poets. Finally, in the concluding section, I analyse poems from the late-nineteenth century to show how the gendered roles of poet and muse are unsettled via lyric experimentation. Before addressing these matters, however, it is crucial to define the genre of lyric poetry and the debates surrounding the role of the lyric addressee, frequently figured as the female muse.

Fertilization of wheat (Triticum aestivum, L.) residue applied to degraded soils has shown promise as an option to restoring soil organic C (SOC) stocks, but the impact of the practice on N2O and CH4 emissions is not clear. It was hypothesized that, in addition to the mulch-induced soil wetness conditions favorable for N2O and CH4 formation, emission of these gases will be stimulated due to increased availability of mineral N and interference of NH4 + with CH4 oxidation in soils. During the period February–November 2000, fluxes of N2O and CH4 were monitored in a plant-free central Ohio Crosby soil (fine, mixed, mesic Aeric Ochraqualf) amended for 4 years with wheat straw (bare, 0; low, 8 Mg ha–1 year–1; and high, 16 Mg ha–1 year–1) without and with N fertilization (244 kg N ha–1). The average annual N2O fluxes were 1.1 kg N2O-N ha–1 in the unfertilized and 4.1 kg N2O-N ha–1 in the fertilized treatments. Annual N2O emission (Y, mg N2O-N m–2) was strongly correlated to the maximum daily flux (X, mg N2O-N m–2 day–1; Y=48.3X−58.1, R 2=0.85, P<0.001) recorded on experimental plots. These flux maxima occurred at spring thaw in the unfertilized, and 6–30 days after fertilization in the fertilized treatments. Net CH4 uptakes were measured on some occasions; overall, however, all the treatments were net CH4 emitters with annual rates of 3.6, 4.9 and 5.1 kg CH4-C ha–1 in the bare, low and high residue treatments, respectively. No significant effect of fertilization and mulch rate on CH4 fluxes was found, but temperature and landscape position appeared as strong controllers. Regardless of treatments, the highest CH4-emitting plots were located in a minor depressional area at the experimental site. A comparison of SOC gain and N2O and CH4 emission expressed as CO2-equivalents indicates that the residue treatments have a net CO2-mitigating effect, but since C sequestration rates are expected to decrease with time, that positive effect will likely vanish after 7 and 12 more years in the fertilized and unfertilized residue treatments, respectively.

Washington County residents may soon have full control of their septic tanks.
The ordinance would mean households that have septic tanks can have them cleaned when they want and not have to abide by state inspection rules.
The current state law requires you to have your tanks cleaned once every five years.
"I think the people have that right to take care of their own septic tanks, if their pump tears up they get it fixed if your tank tears up the land owner will fix their own tanks we don't need the state coming in here telling the land owners what they can do and can't do," said Washington County Commissioner District 3 Charles Brock.
If approved the ordinance will be filed with the Secretary of State.

Skip to comments.Irish abortion laws breach human rights, court rules (European court overrules Irish Constitution)
Posted on 12/16/2010 4:02:21 AM PST by SoFloFreeper
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Ireland has failed to properly implement the constitutional right to abortion where a woman is entitled to one where her life is at risk.
(Excerpt) Read more at irishtimes.com ...
Europe is killing itself in advance of the Muslim invasion.
Coming to a country near you.
This will kick up a real sh*tstorm. Irish politicians repeatedly promised their electorate that this wouldn´t happen ahead of last year´s referendum. And now - oops - it happened.
Also, this comes right after the EU has humiliated Ireland by forcing them to take a bailout package, even trying to dictate their election cycle(!). Like I said, expect a storm of feces...
I'm not sure that the position the 'court' takes is not a majority in Ireland. I think the laws protecting life there are soon going to be on the chopping block anyway, if public opinion has its way. I don't personally think the voting public in Ireland is especially pro life. But hopefully that's wrong.
Probably preaching to the choir here, but nevertheless, it cant be said enough times.
Anybody that supports abortion in any way shape or form,does not have The Spirit of Christ within them.
They can go to Church and wave their arms in the air, whatever, but it`s all in vane if that is where their heart is.
Surely that's less of a hassle than changing the Irish Constitution?
The Socialist European Union is in dire need of being broken up and restored to individual Constitutional Republics. The Irish know what's best for the Irish; not some collection of elitist European pseudo-Monarchs whose only goal is redistribution of wealth to keep themselves in power.
Ireland should sever ties with the EU. Exactly how many years did they seek home-rule before England let them have it? Now they've traded their self governance for rule by a bunch of socialists.
Could be. But Ireland was running at a whooping 4% atheist in 2005, while 73 percent of the population considered "Protecting the dignity of any human unborn life" to be "Very important", a number far higher than the EU average.
Note that this is according the polling of the EU itself, I.e. Eurobarometer 225:
Add to this that even secularists and pro-abortion people in Ireland will feel that this is yet another case of the EU trampling the sovereignty of Ireland (The third or fourth such instance in a short period of time), and I think the issue will have salience.
Oh, I should add that the current Irish government is running a whooping 90 percent DISapproval rating. (Yes, really) Makes Obama look like Lincoln by comparison.
There is a whole lot of discontent with the powers that be brewing in Ireland right now.
Everyone knew this was coming out of the E wwwww. Mandatory child sacrifice.
Just more fodder for dissolving the E.U.
If the E.U. were interested in "Human Rights", they would protect the baby.
The Catholic Church has much to atone for but so do the people of Ireland for turning their backs on faith while the Celtic Tiger roared.
There's been a dearth of humility and rebellion in the Republic of Ireland. What a shame it would be if Gerry Adams capitalizes on this and actually succeeds in attaining office in the south.
God help the Irish!
How in the world is protecting children from murder a violation of human rights?
The knots that those who are pro-abortion twist their brains into to try to promote abortion as something good must leave them with constant migraines. And then, because of the pain, they are unable to think...
If the Irish don't want elective abortion, then they can keep the law as it currently stands. If they don't want abortion for clinical reasons either then they should get out of the EU and change their own laws. But what the Irish government can't do is accept a form of abortion as being lawful AND STILL leave doctors in a position where they cannot consider using it. That is the sum total of what this new ruling means.
If a doctor said to a woman "you can't have an abortion" and she had a MEDICAL reason to consider having one AND she had a legal right to consider that option, then what would be your opinion on the doctor's actions? Justifiable, perhaps. But, what if it was the Federal Government that told the doctor to say it?
According to the Daily Mail, the clinicians agreed that this scenario might apply in her specific situation BUT they wouldn't authorize an abortion. Irish Law ALREADY gave her the right to make an informed decision but it didn't allow the clinicians to advise her properly. Therefore she was unable to exercise her RIGHT to make an informed decision.
The Republic of Ireland has since 1992 conceded that abortions may be lawful if AND ONLY IF both the mother's life and the life of the infant are at a verifiable and severe risk - presumably on the basis that preventing one death is better than allowing two. On that basis alone, the Irish government has no business telling doctors or patients that they are not allowed to make that call.
I am as pro-life as anyone else here, but I'd be a damned hypocrite if I said politicians should be able to throw their own laws and their own constitutional obligations to one side to the extent that they can overrule doctors on clinical decision making in individual cases. If politicians want to stand by a moral argument then they should debate it in session, and pass laws to defend it. Not pass laws one way and then break them in the other direction.
"We, the people of Ireland, humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, Who sustained our fathers through centuries of trial,
"Gratefully remembering their heroic and unremitting struggle to regain the rightful independence of our Nation, And seeking to promote the common good, with due observance of Prudence, Justice and Charity, so that the dignity and freedom of the individual may be assured, true social order attained, the unity of our country restored, and concord established with other nations,
"Do hereby adopt, enact, and give to ourselves this Constitution."
- Preamble to the Irish Constitution
To revise my own post - the EU also confirmed in the ruling that there is no "right" to have an abortion at all... so technically Ireland doesn't have to even leave the EU to ban abortion altogether.
All it has to do is make its mind up. Either Irish law is against all abortions and should change the law to that effect, or it should stand by the law as it stands and let its clinicians and patients make the call.
The status quo is just stupid... clinicians told they can't, patients told they can.
I hope you are right. We also recall that they never "really" voted positively for the Euro constitution.
We´ve had "People´s democracies" (You can vote for anyone as long as they´re communists), and now another "democracy" innovation is here: "Eurodemocracy" (You can vote any way you like, but we´ll nullify your vote until you vote Correctly)...

I love this plugin! Looks very solid, even my Ma understood it right away.
One thing that I believe would be good to have are categories/labels/tags. Right now I'm putting in the 2nd data field things like "veg","spicy","recommendation" etc. If there would be the possibility to set-up these categories upfront, and then select them from a drop down while adding a menu item. On the frontpage these categories come with an individual class which would allow me to set icons instead of letters.

You can never go wrong with a versatile omega necklace, especially if it is as sparkling as this! Crafted from platinum embraced over sterling silver, this necklace offers one of nature's rarest precious metal impressions that has a natural elegance! The necklace features a diamond cut and polished twisted omega-like fancy design that appears textured.
Part of the Palatino Platinum Embraced Jewelry Collection. Made in Italy.
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.

When my kids were about this age I went on a total strike. I had had it with
their indifference to anything I said (kind of like I talked but no actual sound
came out of my mouth) their arguing and their complaining. I announced that it
was plain to see they were not interested in having a mom and so I was going to
take a break and do what ever I wanted that day. I was not in charge of their
meals, transportation or dispute settling. It was fantastic. I napped, read,
puttered around at my leisure while they struggled to manage themselves without
my involvement.
The next day they were different children and somehow my voice returned!

I currently have a Nikon D700 (+tons of lenses) and a Panasonic GF-1 with four lenses. I would like to udgrade the GF-1. I need better control for manual shooting and more SLR like control for my small "travel kit".
EM-5 is now about year old model and if there is a newer model on the way I could wait for it. Just haven't heard any rumours but maybe you have.
I guess EM-5 would be the one for me but if there is a new model on the way...
Unfortunately nearly anything you read about a higher or lower end model are pure rumor of the lowest order, similar to water cooler talk or girl gossip. The important thing to know is the OMD is the top of the line m4/3 for Olympus, that being said it is extremely unlikely a lower end model in the same series, EMx, will be released, Olympus has the perfectly capable Pen series for this, EPx, EPLx and EPMx. For Olympus top model cameras your looking at 2+ years before a new announcement at least from the time of the last release so either by years end or next your you will have an announcement.

Histogram based bounds and approximations for production lines
We present a modelling method for the analysis of production lines with generally distributed processing times and finite buffers. We consider the complete modelling process, from the data collection to the performance evaluation. First, the data about the processing times is supposed to be collected in the form of histograms. Second, tractable discrete phase-type distributions are built. Third, the evolution of the production line is described by a Markov chain, using a state model. Our originality mostly comes from the way the phase-type distributions are built: the "grouping at the end" discretization aggregates the probability mass in a time step at its end. The method allows to compute refinable upper and lower bounds on the throughput. Furthermore, we propose some approximations and show how the method performs on simple examples. We argue that the way the distributions are discretized, called "probability masses fitting", can be thought as a valuable alternative in order to build tractable distributions.

Later, when asked if she thinks this campaign has been racist, she says she does not.
Until she can own up to her own campaign's quiet exploitation of racism, it's pretty hard to take her objections that seriously.
Dude, I'm really excited by that turnout. When was the last time a presidential candidate was able to draw like that? What does it say about the US body politic that so many are inspired by the political process? Will we see a renewed sense of public service in the general population to go along with this? I have hope.
The junior Senator from New York made the news or something? It seems impractical to try to cover every single comment from every out of state Senator, if that's where you're going with these posts. I'd focus on the two Presidential contenders and leave legislative details to Roll Call or whatever.
@2 Hope, and Hillary's mad attempts to quash it!
That's sort of the theme of the campaign for me right now.
I'd prefer to be watching the Dems fight the Repugs, but I must say I find these primary fights amusing as well as frustrating. I'll be glued to CNN tonight, swooning over Anderson Cooper and yelling at the television.
@3: Har, har.
Is it really so hard for people to admit that the primary campaign has seen a lot of racism and sexism flying around?
Later, when asked if she thinks this campaign has been racist, she says she does not.I believe it was 20% of voters polled in KY that said that Obama's race was an important factor in their decision. Given that racial bias is often underreported, I wonder how Hillary can make that statement and seem to mean it?
@5 Well, having read this post, apparently it's too hard for Hillary to admit that there's been any racism at all in this campaign.
Hard-working, White Americans don't have time to be racist.
Lazy, Tinted People bring their sexist cultural baggage with them.
Congrats to Obama today but big yawn, he already had it all locked up and he still is failing to unite his own party. Wow he got 75K in Portland but fuck, he still isn't getting the HRC slice of the pie -- there's no bandwagon effect. It's a divided party. It's divided in KY and it's divided in ORegon.
So the thing to do is (a) widen the division or (b) unite.
HRC and her supporters clearly indicating willingness to unite. Should Obama and his supporters widen the division, he will get fewer votes this Fall, because more of her supporters will be pissed off/won't care to vote.
There's always some who don't want to support the other candidate but generally one tries to win them over -- not kick them in the ass gleefully -- as some Obama supporters enjoy.
What you hear Obama saying is not "she's a racist" but "she's on the short list for VP." Obama wants her voters. Don't you?
Just this morning I hear Geraldine Ferraro claiming sexism and misogyny on the radio, but Clinton says there's no racism. Please. Who was it saying that Obama can't get "working class whites" to vote for him?
Racism is great as long as it works in your favor, according to Clinton. Presuming people are sexist for not supporting the female candidate is just plain wrong and self serving. These are just two of the most obvious reasons Clinton lost my support.
50,000 went to the same spot for frigging Kerry.
Just imagine that the red belt democratic party was made up of 70% women and Hillary won all those states, states that would be highly unlikely to go Dem in the fall - what would the Obama people be saying about her electability?
The biggest racist aspect of this campaign is the 90+% of AAs voting for O. The 20% or less of whites voting H because of race is discouraging but not nearly so extreme.
Mainstream press, Tucker C for one, have said things about H that would never be said about O after translation from sexist to racist. The Tuckster said something like he protects his balls when H is in the room or nearby - imagine a major TV character on MSNBC saying that he moved his wallet to his front pocket when O is around.
Race has not been the issue but gender has.
On the July 16 edition of MSNBC's Tucker, discussing presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), producer Willie Geist described a Clinton doll being advertised at the website HillaryNutcracker.com that features "serrated stainless steel thighs that, well, crack nuts," according to Geist. He introduced the story by saying, "I think the metaphor in this next story, Tucker, is pretty clear. So I will just report the straight facts." He later asked, "What do you think they're saying about Hillary?" Host Tucker Carlson replied, "I have often said, when she comes on television, I involuntarily cross my legs."
HRC and her supporters clearly indicating willingness to unite.
An Ohio-based group of Democratic Hillary Clinton supporters say theyll work actively against Sen. Barack Obama if he becomes the nominee, arguing that Clinton has been the subject of intense sexism by party leaders and the media.
There's been a lot of racism and sexism in this campaign. The sexism has been more obvious and simultaneously more widely denied.
The difference is that the Obama campaign itself has not been the source of the sexism in the campaign. That's come from some Obama supporters, other Clinton opponents, and the media. You could make the case that Obama has a personal streak of chivalrous sexism, demonstrated by his "sweetie" remark and his habit of helping Hillary out of her chair at the end of debates. But if so that's a pretty innocuous strain when compared to Bill Clinton's womanizing and McCain's use of the c-word to describe his own wife. If this is sexism from a presidential candidate, it's still progress.
On the other hand, the Clinton campaign was the source of much of the racism in the campaign. They've never apologized for their tactics. The candidate sets the tone for the campaign and the potential presidency to follow. Seeing how this campaign has played out, I don't want Clinton to be president.
Gah, I hate it when places repeat the stupid "iron my shirt" episode as if it somehow reflects on the populace or men at large. Honest reporting requires one to note that the men in question were radio station shock jocks engaged in a publicity stunt, which worked spectacularly.
Of course, there is plenty of sexism and racism and other isms in the race. Hillary's problem is that she ignored it until now, when it's clear she has lost. Had she confronted sexism head on and made it a campaign issue, people would respect her for calling out a difficult truth. Now, regardless of the substantive truth to her complaints, she's just a sore loser looking for excuses so she can believe that the presidency she was entitled to was stolen from her by no fault of her own.
The video of Barack in Portland gave me chills (the good kind...) Never in my lifetime have I seen a leader bring people together the way he does. Say all you want about experience/age/time in the White House, but Obama is the only candidate that inspires people this way. It is time for a change from the old regimes. Let's move this country forward in a way that restores our standing in the world community.
Spread the word.
It's bad enough keeping track of what the Clintons are up to when they are in the foreground. Can you imagine them lurking back behind the President the way Dick Cheney does? Always making deals and triangulating, conniving with cronies like Marc Penn. What administration needs that distraction? I want to turn a page on all that and see someone truly honorable in the Vice President's office.
McG and anyone else who thinks it's "racist" of African-American voters to vote for Obama are mistaken about what racism is. AA voters identify with him and his unusual experiences as a black man in America, and he has reached out to them continually. Most AA voters supporting Obama would likely vote for Clinton as well, but with less enthusiasm as she doesn't share their life experiences and hasn't courted them in the same way. Obama gives an inner-city group his civil rights policy proposals; he has death-penalty reform and voters' rights on his record. He's their candidate in every way. She is closer but less so.
The racism here is the refusal of some Clinton supporters to vote for Obama based on his race. Based on exit polls and empirical evidence, we see more of this than refusal to vote for Clinton based on her gender. Some Obama voters dislike Clinton because of the way she's run her campaign, or her aggressive style, or how she's aligned herself with the "hardworking white Americans" who would never vote for Obama, but this would still be the case if she were male.
And 75000 - 50000 = 25000. The difference is more people than we had out in Seattle for Obama in February.
Lastly, that Oregonian slideshow is amazing.
@9: HRC & supporters are indicating a willingness to unite?! What supporters? Ferraro? I don't know if HRC is dividing the country (I'm not as prescient as professional pundits), but this latest sexism rant is dividing her own gender. SHE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN! And I wish the media would stop assuming she does. I'm getting more and more pissed at these anecdotal aging feminists who are yelling sexism just because HRC did not get the nomination to which she is entitled. Like this presidential race is nothing more than a contest for an entry in a history book, or a social experiment to validate the feminst movement of the 60s and 70s. LISTEN EVERYONE: I am the only woman that speaks for me and I have not hung my hopes and dreams and personal worth on having a woman in the oval office.
Hils is all about herself.
Sad, very sad.
Hills has no chance as Obama's VP. She brings nothing to the table. Her older female demographic will vote for Obama anyway and the racists won't vote for him regardless of who else is on the ticket.
My prediction for VP? Obama takes a cue from his hero Lincoln and chooses Chuck Hagel.
The biggest racist aspect of this campaign is the 90+% of AAs voting for O.
Obama is half black and half white, so how can any of his supporters be racist? You vote for the white half you get the black half and vice versa.
If you think blacks preferring Obama is bad, consider that 100% of Greek-Americans voted for Dukakis. After two centuries of nothing but white male candidates, I don't blame either blacks or women for voting for one of their teammates.

#18: No one in the world is saying people are sexist because Hillary didn't win. No one in the world is trying to speak for you.
The media has been extremely and openly sexist in this campaign. That's all she's saying.
@24 - um, but the MSM is always sexist AND racist - why is this "news"? It's not new ...
@2 and everyone else for that matter. I, too was surprised at the turnout for Sen. Obama in Portland Sunday. At first, I chalked it up to terrific weather and to the evidently many partisans Obama has in Oregon. That is until I read the NYT this morning and discovered that the Portland-based indie band, the Decembrists performed as well a (free?) concert, I reckon on Obama's behalf. Since it's been said that under 30 y/o voters are unreliable, I wonder how many of those supporters will vote today (already have?) for Obama, Clinton or McCain? or did they show up en mass for a free (?) concert?
@24 - Read Howard Kurtz's column in Washingtonpost.com today - "The Sisters Are Steamed"
The society we live in is racist and sexist, our past is, our culture is, so fo course our media is, and there were instances of it in the campaigning. This does not excuse it, it simply acknowledges its presence.
What is more striking is how each candidate responded--or reacted--to said sexism and racism. That told us much, and was a silver lining to these everpresent ugly dark clouds.
Oops, that should be, "our media ARE"

Unfortunately, not all patients can tolerate C.P.A.P. Even among those who can, its use is often not consistent. Common side effects include nasal stuffiness, a runny nose and facial discomfort resulting from the pressure. However, this therapy represents a vast improvement over the original "cure" for sleep apnea: tracheostomy, the surgical creation of a breathing hole in the throat to bypass the sleep-related obstruction.
Those who cannot use C.P.A.P. may benefit from the use of an individually molded oral appliance that repositions mouth structures during sleep. However, surgery to reduce the size of soft tissues in the mouth and throat may only relieve the snoring and not the apnea.
Whatever the remedy chosen, the single most important step is a repeat of the original sleep study to determine the effectiveness of the remedy, not just in reducing snoring but in restoring normal breathing patterns, heart function and levels of blood gases. The committee also recommends periodic assessments because patients commonly relapse into old habits or stop using the breathing device.
For Further Information
A FREE patient information publication, "Facts About Sleep Apnea" (publication number 95-3798), is available from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Information Center, P.O. Box 30105, Bethesda, Md. 20824-0105, or by calling 301-251-1222 or faxing a request to 301-251-1223.
The American Sleep Apnea Association at 2025 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W., Suite 905, Washington, D.C. 20006 (202-293-3650) publishes a bimonthly newsletter, Wake-Up Call, The Wellness Letter for Snoring and Apnea, produces patient education videos and maintains a list of patient self-help groups that meet in communities throughout the country. Individuals who join the association for a fee of $25 a year will receive the newsletter and either a MedicAlert bracelet or necklace.
There is also a useful paperback book, "Snoring and Sleep Apnea" by Dr. Ralph A. Pascualy and Sally Warren Soest (Raven Press, 1994, $19). Check your library since the book is out of print. Although the publication was partly underwritten by one of the manufacturers of the C.P.A.P. device, it discusses all remedies fairly.
A book mentioned in last week's column, "Stop Your Husband From Snoring," is also out of print. The author, Dr. Derek S. Lipman, an otolaryngologist in Portland, Ore., has just written a new one, "Snoring from A to Zzzz: Proven Cures for the Night's Worst Nuisance" (Spencer Press, $24.95), which is being distributed by Book World Services.

Video Olympics is a video game cartridge programmed by Atari, Inc.'s Joe Decuir for the Atari 2600. It is one of the nine original launch titles for that system when it was released in September 1977. The game is a port of Atari's popular Pong series. It was also released by Sears for their Atari 2600 clone (the Sears Video Arcade) under the title Pong Sports.
The games are a collection of "bat and ball" style games, including several previously released by Atari as coin-ops in the early 1970s. The games are played using the 2600s paddle controllers, and are for one to four players (three or four players requires a second set of paddle controllers).
The cartridge and its individual games were reviewed twice in Video magazine. In the Winter 1979 issue of Video, the cartridge was reviewed as part of a general review of the Atari VCS where it received a review score of 8.5 out of 10, and its constituent games were characterized as "old standbys" but "still lots of fun".[1]:33 A more thorough review appeared in Video's "Arcade Alley" column in the Summer 1979 issue where the release was generally praised for "tak[ing] Atari's Pong concept and explor[ing] it to the limit." Individual games were singled out as well, with praise for Volleyball and Robot Pong (described as "astonishingly good"), and criticism for Handball (for its use of a visually disturbing blinking paddle rather than an absent paddle to indicate inactive players), and Basketball (described as primitive compared to Atari's own 1978 version of Basketball).[2]:42
Video Olympics includes 50 games and variations.[1]:30 Some of the more notable games include:
- Pong - The classic table tennis simulation.[2]:42
- Super Pong - A Pong variation where each player has two paddles.[2]:42
- Robot Pong - A solitaire Pong variation.[2]:42
- Pong Doubles
- Quadrapong - A four-player, four-wall Pong variation.[2]:42
- Foozpong - Based on Foozball, this Pong variant has the players control a vertical three-paddle column.[2]:42
- Soccer
- Handball - A Handball simulation.[2]:42
- Ice hockey
- Hockey III - An Ice hockey simulation where players can catch and shoot the puck at the opposing goal.[2]:42
- Basketball - A Basketball simulation.[2]:42
- Volleyball - A Volleyball simulation where the traditional (Pong-style) left-right volley is swapped for a top-bottom volley. Players can volley or spike.[2]:42

Jason Keary will release a new EP entitled "Another Bird Here Has Flown" in the summer of 2013. It will prove to be a massive leap forward creatively in a very short period of time. Keary abandoned the soaring guitars and massive drums of his youth resulting in a more refined, classic sound.
The radically different sound unearthed on "Another Bird Here Has Flown" is due in part to Keary himself being in the producer's chair. "I wanted to produce the record myself; my way. Right or wrong." Keary says. "I have been so fortunate to have had the chance to work with and learn from some great producers in my short time doing this so I felt it was time for me to apply what I had learned." Keary recruited his go-to players as well as partnered up with mix engineer Clay Jones of Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello and Counting Crows fame to mix the record. Keary also implored the ears of renowned mastering engineer Noah Mintz who has worked with artists such as The National, Stars and Broken Social Scene.
The opening track entitled "This Is Love" calls out to the ghost of John Lennon; infused with lush strings and piano. "Being a guitar player, I wanted to write a record that didn't solely rely on the guitar as the main instrument. I wanted the piano and strings to be as much a focal point as the guitar." Keary himself also handled all guitar and piano work on the album.
The second track "Halcyon" reveals itself as a man being enamored to the point of being haunted by a woman he loves while the achingly beautiful "Watch You Break" documents the disintegration of a relationship and way of life. "Writing that song taught me a lot. I wrote it while living alone in my tiny rental house with no central heat. I think of it as the highest low point of my decision to try to write music for a living." Keary laughs. "At the time I thought I was writing it about someone else but looking back I was also writing it about myself. I was making the choice to keep on going. Heartbreak is a thread that ties us all together and being able to write objectively about my life gave me the confidence I needed to keep on doing what I do. For that, I will always be grateful for the experience that gave birth to that song." says Keary.
After the heaviness of "Watch You Break" the album reaches it's lightest point with the light-hearted "Love Shines Through". Keary describes the song as a love letter of sorts to his closest friends. "I was raised an only child in the deep south. As you can imagine, there wasn't that much to do. Not having the companionship of siblings instilled a deep love and affection for my friends. I've always been blessed with great friends. When I was in college we had this great house in Oxford, MS simply known as "803". I would be lying if I said we didn't have our fair share of parties there when we maybe should have been studying. We would yell… Not sing… But literally yell along with songs we loved at the top of our lungs. I wanted to write a song with the catchiest chorus I could muster; that I could hear my friends and I singing along to. It's really more of a thank you to all of the people who have stuck by me through the years."
The album closes with the title track; "Another Bird Here Has Flown". Keary had his late grandmother in mind as the inspiration for the delicate ending to the album. "She would sit down with me at the piano when I was a baby to play and sing songs with me. She's been gone a few years now but it really only recently occurred to me that she was one of the main reasons I started singing and playing music in the first place. I never really thought about it. It's just what I do. But I suppose the spark has to come from somewhere." he says.
"Another Bird Here Has Flown" will be available on July 30, 2013.

Love iRobots.txt SEO plugin. I use it on all my client's sites. I'm surprised the developer hasn't updated, but not so much in retrospect. This creates a succinct robots.txt file for WordPress -- and with default values as well as the ability to add custom rules. Very easy to use for novices as well as experts. Kudos. Highly recommended. We use it on [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ] and it works flawlessly despite its age, so don't let that throw you. It's compatible with the most recent version of WP.
