Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Jaguar Land Rover Plc, the luxury- vehicle unit of Tata Motors Ltd., said fiscal third-quarter profit growth probably stalled because of currency shifts and its cheaper Evoque model attracting a higher share of buyers.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in the three months through December probably about matched figures for the previous two quarters, and the margin on sales was probably "slightly lower," the Gaydon, England-based division said today in a U.S. filing.
Jaguar Land Rover's margins declined in the two earlier quarters, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The lower- priced Evoque sport-utility vehicle accounted for almost 30 percent of Land Rover's wholesale deliveries in the six months ended Sept. 30. The Ebitda performance reflects "less favorable exchange rates" and "the ongoing effect of a higher mix" of sales of the SUV, the manufacturer said.
"The company saying that margins will be lower is a big concern," said Umesh Karne, an analyst with BRICS Securities Ltd. in Mumbai. "The indication that capital expenditure will be higher as well as about negative cash flow is a concern, as we factored positive cash flows into the share price."
The Evoque sells for just under 29,200 pounds ($46,300), versus the 38,825-pound starting price for Land Rover's Discovery 4, a larger SUV, according to the brand's website.
Stock Drops
Tata Motors' American depositary receipts fell as much as 8.5 percent to $27.42, the sharpest intraday decline since May 30, and were trading down 8.3 percent at 11 a.m. in New York. The stock in Mumbai, where the company has its main listing, fell 1.7 percent to 313.05 rupees. The Indian market closed before Jaguar Land Rover released its estimate.
Jaguar Land Rover may have negative free cash flow in the year beginning April 1 as the unit raises annual capital spending to 2.75 billion pounds ($4.4 billion) from 2 billion pounds to develop models and build a factory in China. Free cash flow was probably also negative in the third quarter, it said.
The luxury division, which has 2.18 billion pounds in cash, may raise additional funds for investments from capital markets and through bank loans, it said.
Detailed fiscal third-quarter figures will be released with Mumbai-based Tata Motors' earnings statement in February, the division said.

All Schooled Up, With No Place to Go
Nobody reading this blog needs to hear that it's a bad time to be graduating from law school. We seem to open blog posts with that sentiment practically every other day.
But a story out on Thursday by the WSJ's Nathan Koppel digs into the experiences of a handful of students about to graduate from law school without jobs. You're quickly reminded that an unemployed law grad looks a lot like an unemployed college grad.
Take, for instance, Fabian Ronisky (pictured). Koppel writes that Ronisky "thought he was on track last summer to become a high-powered corporate lawyer [as] an intern at a leading firm in Los Angeles, earning about $3,000 weekly."
But the firm no-offered him. So the Northwestern student spent the fall sending out resumes. "Now," writes Koppel, "just days shy of graduation and with $150,000 of student loans, he plans to move back to his parents' home in San Diego and sell music and movies online."
And then there's Thomas Reddy, a 2L at Brooklyn Law School. Reddy hasn't landed a summer internship yet after sending resumes to more than 50 law firms. He is taking on about $70,000 of debt each year of the three-year program to earn his degree, but said he may be fortunate to make $80,000 a year in a lawyer job after graduating. "That is less than what I was making before I went to law school," he said.
Koppel writes that the situation for law grads is so bleak that some students and industry experts are rethinking the value of a law degree, long considered a ticket to financial security.
Those considering law school might want to reconsider, said Allan Tanenbaum, chairman of an American Bar Association commission studying the impact of the economic crisis on the profession. Students take on average law-school debt of about $100,000 and, given the job market, many "have no foreseeable way to pay that back," he said.
It's got to foster resentment on law-school campuses at those who land good jobs. It's a dynamic acknowledged by Sue Landsittel, a Northwestern law student who will clerk at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Seattle and join a top corporate firm after that. "You want to celebrate your own good fortune, but you have to remember it's a delicate issue."

Feldman reprises role in third 'Lost Boys' film
Published: Friday, October 15, 2010 at 12:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 15, 2010 at 12:30 p.m.
NEW YORK — Corey Feldman has returned to "The Lost Boys" vampire movie franchise for a third film and says fans also will feel the presence of the late Corey Haim, his co-star in the first one.
"Lost Boys: The Thirst" has been released straight to DVD and Blu-ray and is now in stores. Feldman reprises his starring role as vampire hunter Edgar Frog and also signed on as executive producer.
The original movie, released in 1987, starred Haim, Feldman and Jason Patric. Its premise about teens who take on a gang of vampires in their town was a box office success.
It took two decades for "The Lost Boys" to be revived. A straight-to-DVD film with Feldman called "Lost Boys: The Tribe" was released in 2008; Haim made a cameo.
A big reason for the success of "The Lost Boys" was due to the chemistry between Feldman and Haim. They were given the moniker The Coreys, and both became teen idols and recurring co-stars.
"We could just look each other in the eyes and I'd know exactly where he was coming from and he'd know exactly where I was coming from and we'd just hit it," Feldman said. "It was a lot of fun."
Haim died in March at age 38 of natural causes. He was never intended to appear in "The Thirst" and was alive when production started. Feldman says Haim was hoping to appear in a fourth movie if it got made.
"When you're watching the (third) film you really do get this kind of feeling that his presence is there," Feldman said. "And that's nice. That's the way it should be."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- California's 58 counties are reporting that they have nearly 1 million outstanding ballots to process from this week's primary election.
The secretary of state's office reported Friday that there are 991,699 unprocessed ballots. The figure comes from county-by-county estimates as officials wade through ballots dropped off at polls and provisional votes cast on Election Day.
The registrars have so far counted nearly 3.4 million ballots that were cast Tuesday, which puts turnout at 19.2 percent.
With the outstanding ballots, turnout could near 25 percent, which would be a record low for a regular election in California, but better than some forecasts.
The previous low for a non-presidential primary was 33.1 percent in June 2010. Turnout was 28.2 percent in June 2008 when the state split the presidential and primary elections.

What's your message? Whatever it is, I can help you get it heard! Since 1988, I've been providing professional narration for all manner of recordings - from cinema ads and TV commercials... to telephone banking and heavy vehicle emergency warning systems.
My voice has become particularly familiar to thousands of Australians every day as a friendly voice on the phone (no, not that annoying one - the other one)!
In fact, in a focus group conducted by Nuance Communications on behalf of GE Money, my voice was described in terms such as reassuring, calming, friendly and clear.
In casual conversations, people sometimes think they've spoken to me before - but it often turns out to be because they have heard my voice recordings on various telephone systems.
It's particularly well accepted on both Australian and New Zealand business phone systems, and has been described as having a 'Trans-Tasman' quality... which I think is intended as a compliment.
My voice is used on telephone systems operated by Qantas Airlines in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the USA, for nearly 20 years now. The IVR service, through which callers can track Domestic and International flights for most airlines, receives over five million calls each year in Australia alone.
I can also assist you with copywriting for your script, and will be pleased to suggest changes to your own copy where I feel it might be improved.
Need background music or sound effects as well? No problem - I can help you there too.

"Nyksund" Nyksund by arantha
Nyksund Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 4 photos
Nyksund, also know as the "ghost town", is the old traditional fishing village. In the beggining of the 20th century was a prospeprous settlement, but because of accumulative fishing market and the governmental policy, lost its position in favour of other fishing villages located in Lofotens. In the beginning of the 80's almost all villagers moved out and Nyksund bacame the abandoned town. Many years later Nyksund has been visited by a German traveller, who decided to save this place, as the evidence of the old Norwegian fishing culture. He started a lot of projects to protect the town and avoid its going to rack and ruin. He died in 2001, but only owning to his hard work we are able to get to know this worth seeing 'living' example of the old Norwegian culture.

The New Orleans Saints will only have six picks in the upcoming draft, and there are a lot of areas that need to be filled.
However, the Saints have done a great job of filling needs through free agency thus far.
Coming into the 2012 offseason, the Saints' biggest needs included defensive tackle and middle linebacker. After Carl Nicks and Robert Meachem left in free agency, the Saints immediately needed some guard help and wide receiver depth.
The Saints answered by bringing in huge free agents in Brodrick Bunkley, Curtis Lofton and Ben Grubbs. New Orleans also has receivers that performed well last preseason in Joe Morgan and Andy Tanner. Not to mention a young player in Adrian Arrington that has been waiting for his shot.
The Saints lost corner Tracy Porter to the Denver Broncos, but they have two early-round draft picks in Patrick Robinson and Johnny Patrick that will fill that void.
Looking at the Saints on paper, there are not many glaring needs.
New Orleans can definitely use some depth in certain areas, and only a couple seem to be high priority for this offseason.
Let's take a look at the needs that the Saints must address in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Behnisch and his co-workers1 at the laboratories of Farbenfabriken Bayer at the Elberfeld Works, Germany, have developed, in cooperation with Domagk, a group of chemical substances, thiosemicarbazones, which possess chemotherapeutic effect against tuberculosis. The activity of these products, according to these investigators, is not dependent on the sulfonamide or sulfone groups, nor on the thiazole or thiodiazole rings, but on an open chainlike arrangement of the nitrogen and sulfur atoms, such as is present in the thiosemicarbazones when suitably substituted. The most active of these substances is 4-aminoacetylbenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, designated as conteben or TbI/698. Domagk2 states that this substance has an effect on the tubercle bacillus in vitro and in vivo. He demonstrated in experimental tuberculosis in guinea pigs that the effect is much like that of para-amino-salicylic acid. Although the mode of action of the drug has not been established, Domagk believes that it exerts a direct

I have developed a clock widget. And I only have 1 res/layout and 1 res/drawable. Everything works perfectly.
It works on mdpi like Samsung Galaxy Ace. It works on hdpi like Samsung Galaxy S2. It works on xhdpi like Samsung Galaxy Note.
However I got ugly look on 720x1280 devices such as Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Sony Xperia S. And coming soon Samsung Galaxy S3.
When I provide res/layout/xhdpi which I built specifically for 720x1280 devices and then Galaxy Note will also use this layout and it looks ugly on Galaxy Note.
How to address this issue?
It is like some crossing between 720x1280 (Galaxy Nexus, Sony Xperia S, Galaxy S3) and 800x1280 (Galaxy Note).

Getting all of those balanced so they work correctly is a bit tricky.. 1. For <route>, I am requiring that both address= and gateway= be specified with address='0.0.0.0' and address='::' being valid addresses. For IPv4, netmask='0.0.0.0' works correctly but prefix=0 does not. For IPv4, address='0.0.0.0' results in a default route. I am not sure what all these extra default routes are going to do to things but lets not get in the way of the experimenter. For IPv6, this address='::', prefix='0' is a slightly different matter as default routes are usually handled differently. I am going to go ahead and implement it but I am not sure it is a good idea. "Normally," if you do not specify a prefix for IPv6, the default is 64. But if you do specify one, then it will be used. It is getting real close and it should be ready "real soon now" ;))AARRRRGH!!!! With IPv4 using address='0.0.0.0' and netmask='0.0.0.0' things work just fine but with prefix not so much. The problem is that with prefix=0, it is not in the xml which then results it it defaulting at a later time. This is an extreme corner case. Usually a zero prefix is just ignored.Defaulting to what? I thought that when I pushed the utility function for that, I modified it to return a prefix of 0 if the address was 0.0.0.0 and neither netmask nor prefix was set. I guess it might be problematic if address was *not* 0 and you wanted an explicit 0 prefix, but I don't think that would ever be useful. If you really want prefix to show up in the xml if someone explicitly puts "prefix='0'" in there, you can add a "bool prefix_specified;" to the object, and set that when you see a prefix, even if it's 0. Then in the formatter you'll know that you should write out the value of prefix, even if it's 0. There are a few examples of doing this in either the network or domain xml parser/formatter - just search for occurrences of the word "_specified" in src/conf/*.[ch] and you'll find them.To get this to work, I have to pass INVALID IPv4 and IPv6 addresses or not use the routine if the zero addresses are specified. If the addresses are zero, then I believe we can correctly assume that a prefix of zero is also correct. This code needs to be in bridge_driver.c.
OK, here is the "latest".For IPv4. all this stuff with prefix=0 or netmask=0.0.0.0 and address=0.0.0.0 works.
For IPv6, anything involving prefix=0 does not appear to work. In fact, it gets an error in syslog (you know, one of those conditions I mentioned that are best ignored so that the bridge interface does not get totally hosed). Here is the message that appears in syslog:
---------------------------------Apr 26 15:09:57 falcon libvirtd: 18332: error : virCommandWait:2315 : internal error Child process (/usr/sbin/ip route add ::/0 via fd00:beef:10:93::2:5 dev virbr15 proto static metric 1) unexpected exit status 2: RTNETLINK answers: File exists
-------------------------------- Other IPv6 static routes seem to work just fine.I was able to replicate the error by having a network definition with two identical ipv6 static route definitions. However, the first IPv6 route showed up in "ip -6 route".
Anyway, at this point I believe I have two choices: 1. proceed and ignore the IPv6 ::/0 error (IMHO: bad idea).2. For ::/0, do not do the static route but instead issue an error message that states this is not supported (my preferred solution).

To investigate acid secretion and motility of the intrathoracic stomach with truncal vagotomy after esophagectomy.
Case-control study of patients undergoing esophagectomy, with average follow-up of 3.2 months, compared with healthy controls.
Yamaguchi University School of Medicine, Kogushi, Japan.
A random sample of 21 patients selected from 79 patients with esophageal cancer during the period from May 1988 to August 1993 received the intrathoracic stomach after subtotal esophagectomy. A control sample consisted of 14 men.
Interventions and Main Outcome Measures:
For acid secretion, a pH probe was placed in the intrathoracic stomach to measure the average pH value (average of total monitoring values) and pH holding time (ratio of the period during which the pH value was 3 or higher based on the entire continuous monitoring periods). For motility, digestive tract scintigraphy was performed to obtain the time activity curve from the analog image observed when patients ate meals labeled with indium 111. In addition, hemorrhagic ulcers in the intrathoracic stomachs of three patients were reported.
A pH value below 3 was recognized after surgery, and there was no significant difference between pH values in patients and normal volunteers (average pH value, 3.9±1.5 vs 3.3±1.9; pH holding time, 52.2±20.2% vs 57.1 ±24.4%, respectively). The time activity curve of the intrathoracic stomach observed by scintigraphy underwent no change after surgery. Among three patients with hemorrhagic ulcers, two exhibited improvements after receiving a histamine blocker, while in the other, it was not effective.
Acid secretion ability and motility of the intrathoracic stomach with truncal vagotomy may be unchanged after esophagectomy.(Arch Surg. 1994;129:837-841)

LOOK: "Supergirl" Introduces Superman in First Family Photo
This is the latest in a series giving you the cultural context behind certain comic book characters/behaviors. You know, the sort of then-topical references that have faded into the "foggy ruins of time." To wit, twenty years from now, a college senior watching episodes of Seinfeld will likely miss a lot of the then-topical pop culture humor (like the very specific references in "The Understudy" to the Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding scandal). Here is an archive of all the Foggy Ruins of Time installments so far.
Today, based on a suggestion by reader Omar Karindu, we look at the history of the influences for the character of Mister Nobody, from Grant Morrison and Richard Case's Doom Patrol. The history goes all the way back to a forgotten black superstar of the early 20th Century…
As I discussed in an old edition of Comic Book Legends Revealed, in November 1932, Fleischer Studios had a really cool Betty Boop cartoon where Betty runs for President. Her opponent? Mister Nobody!
Basically, his whole bit is a nice healthy piece of cynicism as he sings:
Who will make your taxes light?… Mr. Nobody!
Who'll protect the voters' right?… Mr. Nobody!
Should you come home some early dawn,
See a new milkman is on:
Who cares if your wife is gone?… Mr. Nobody
In Doom Patrol #26, Grant Morrison and Richard Case introduced us to Mister Nobody, the new leader of the Brotherhood of Da-Da!
Mr. Nobody was a re-worked version of an old member of the Brotherhood of Evil called Mr. Morden (here he is from his debut in Doom Patrol Volume 1 #86)…
The first other cultural influence for Morrison and Case's Mister Nobody is the way that Wavy Gravy in 1976 did their own spin on Mister Nobody running for President by having a "Nobody for President" series of events…
Gilbert Shelton did a poster (which was later also used in 1980)…
Morrison and Case then had Mister Nobody run for President in Doom Patrol #52…
However, the whole "Nobody" persona from Betty Boop was ITSELF influenced by an earlier piece of American pop culture.
At the turn of the 20th century, one of the most popular entertainers in the country was Bert Williams…
Who, despite being a major success, still had to perform on the vaudeville stage in blackface…
It's that weird thing where he was a hit on Broadway, one of the first (if not THE first) black entertainer to do so, and yet he still had to deal with all the various racist trappings of the time (as the saying goes, "He could fill a joint but he'd still have to take the back elevator to get in").
He had a number of hit songs, including his biggest hit, Nobody in 1905…
Williams passed away in 1922 and obviously, the foggy ruins of time have not been great to his legacy, although there are still those who remember him. Here's a biography from 1970…
It is clear that the Betty Boop cartoon was referencing Williams with Nobody, which in turn influenced Morrison's creation.
Neat stuff! Thanks for the information and suggestion, Omar Karindu!
If anyone else has a suggestion for a future edition of this column, drop me a line at email@example.com!
Mr. Nobody and the Brotherhood of Dada was the moment that I became a fan of Grant Morrison and the Doom Patrol. It was so absurd and fun.
I didn't catch on to Morrison's Doom Patrol until a few years ago — once I did, I quickly got all the collections. Loved both versions of the Brotherhood of DaDa. Aside from his past, brief membership in the Brotherhood of Evil, I wasn't aware of all the backhistory that inspired the creation of Mr. Nobody.
I knew the song from Johnny Cash's American Recordings. Now I know the original. Thank you!
Hmmmmm… low taxes, nebulous statements about rights, depicting the average white man as an oppressed class… where have I seen that political strategy before?
mr nobody and the brother hood of dada was the first time i figured out grant morrison comic book work was going to be a roller coaster ride. that he was one comic book artist who was thinking out side the box
and was proably smoking something
at the very least he was smoking something. i d just finished invisibles, damn almostt ten years ago and the doom patrol trade paperbacks were out through down miracle way i think it was called, i was immediately hooked.
SPOILERS: when the brother hood of dada , was killed, Morrison's Doom Patrol gets bad
These various series on the odd corners and back alleys of comics were and remain outstanding and are what keeps me coming back to the site.

It is great to see the Ooyala team putting some effort into refactoring this plugin to be more user-friendly, and with the release of 2.0.1 it maintains backward-compatibility with the 1.x strain of settings and functionality. The codebase is much more elegant overall, the video browser uses the media chooser, and settings are now found in the Media area of WordPress. Overall, it feels more well-integrated to WordPress itself, and less like an after-market add-on. Here's hoping it continues to be well-maintained!
[Original review was: "Version 2.0 Breaks Backwards Compatibility"]
This plugin is disappointing and has not improved in more than 5 years. Part (maybe most) of the problem may be more due to the way Ooyala works rather than the plugin itself, so I'm happy to at least award it one star. The features the plugin attempts to provide are great and I appreciate the effort by the developer who did the WordPress integration, but Ooyala's service itself is sub-par.
Ooyala clearly does not care about front-end performance or how their embedded video cripples page load render speed. The script that loads the HTML5 video blocks the rendering of the rest of the page.
I tried updating from v1.6.1 and all hell broke loose. Video not loading, fitVids incompatibilities, WP admin UI elements breaking, dogs and cats living together, etc. Not only did I have to revert to v1.6.1 but I also had to restore the site's database to an earlier version.
Ooyala also isn't aware of responsive design and sets fixed dimensions on inline style attributes with gay abandon. This creates a great deal of work for developers to integrate the video with modern websites.
Ooyala's API went down and the genius that wrote this plugin didn't handle its exceptions. Tah-dah, my site is now down until Ooyala's API goes back up again. Idiocy, sheer idiocy.
This plugin while doing the basic functionality, doesn't have any error catching on its API interactions (which happen on every admin page load). Meaning, if the Ooyala API goes down for any reason, so does the backend of any sites in which this is installed.

Least Note Sales Signal Best Post-Recession Budgets: Muni Credit
The smallest wave of municipal note sales in seven years is poised to extend into 2014, signaling the brightest fiscal outlook for U.S. local governments since before the recession.
From the nation's capital to California, states and cities are using less short-term debt to bridge cash shortfalls more than four years after the longest recession since the 1930s. Last year, municipalities issued about $46 billion of fixed-rate debt maturing in 18 months or less, the least since 2006, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Sales may drop again in 2014, according to a Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association survey.
The 2013 supply slowdown converged with bets that interest rates would rise as the Federal Reserve curbs its bond-buying program, fueling demand for the shortest-maturity debt as a haven. Munis due in one to three years logged a 1 percent gain for the past 12 months, while all state and local bonds fell 2.1 percent, Bank of America Merrill Lynch data show.
"States and municipalities have been much more fiscally responsible in dealing with their budgets," said Steven Shachat, who oversees $1.4 billion of local debt, including a money-market fund, at Alpine Woods Capital Investors in Purchase, New York. With revenue increasing, there's less need for short-term debt, he said.
The reduced need for such financing builds on other signs of a fiscal rebound for municipalities. California, New York and Florida are among states projecting surpluses as tax collections nationwide have grown for 15 straight quarters, Census Bureau data show. At the local level, cities forecast their first revenue increase since 2006, according to a survey released in October by the National League of Cities in Washington.
All but seven of 363 metropolitan areas will see economic gains this year, including areas that struggled to rebound from the recession, according to a report released yesterday by the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
"We're in the real recovery, not just the recovery that economists talk about," said Mayor Scott Smith of Mesa, Arizona, president of the Washington-based group, in an interview. "We see light at the end of the tunnel."
Tax Timing
Municipalities typically sell notes to raise money before tax collections flow in, or to fund projects before a sale of longer-dated securities.
Last year's tally of notes represented almost 16 percent of fixed-rate sales, the smallest percentage since 2007, Bloomberg data show. Issuance fell 19 percent from 2012.
The decline was steeper than the drop in long-term deals, which fell 15 percent to about $293 billion, the least since 2011.
Sales of notes may diminish again this year, according to a Sifma survey of underwriters and bond dealers, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley. Municipalities will issue about $40 billion in short-term notes in 2014, the report showed.
Localities have offered about $1 billion of notes this month through Jan. 22, Bloomberg data show. The biggest deal was a $325 million taxable pension-obligation borrowing from Orange County, California, which filed for bankruptcy protection in 1994.
California Rebound
At the state level, California is curbing short-term financing as the biggest surplus in more than a decade reduces the need for notes to cover cash-flow needs. The most-populous U.S. state sold $5.5 billion of notes in August, putting it on pace for the least short-term borrowing since 2009.
Governor Jerry Brown "is continuing to take a rather prudent approach to the budget this year and is still very much interested in increasing their rainy-day fund," said Konstantine "Dino" Mallas, who helps oversee $20 billion of munis at T. Rowe Price Group Inc. in Baltimore.
In a sign of the state's fiscal improvement, Standard & Poor's last week raised its outlook on California to positive. That put the state on the verge of its best grade from the New York-based company since 2009.
About 2,800 miles (4,500 kilometers) east, Washington in October issued $405 million of one-year obligations, 40 percent less than in 2012 and the smallest sale since 2008.
Indiana Leads
The Indiana Bond Bank leads issuers this week in offering about $251 million of short-term debt, according to Bloomberg data. The agency's $83 million borrowing will go toward purchasing tax-anticipation obligations of schools, cities and counties, offering documents show.
In the long-term part of the $3.7 trillion municipal market, issuers from Oregon to Florida are offering about $4.9 billion in bonds this week with benchmark yields at the lowest since November.
The interest rate on AAA 10-year munis is about 2.69 percent, Bloomberg data show. That compares with 2.87 percent on similar-maturity Treasuries.
The ratio of the yields, a measure of relative value, is about 94 percent, close to the lowest since May. The smaller the number, the more expensive munis are compared with federal securities.

Circle Time: noun 1. a time in which young children sit together and share news and stories
Families experiencing homelessness face extraordinary challenges every day; looking for permanent housing, finding jobs, and securing food with little or no resources. Homeless families with young children deal with the added worry of how living in unpredictable circumstances affects a child's learning and growth. Research proves that disruptions in a child's physical environment and interpersonal relationships can be harmful to healthy development.
The data is staggering. Significant numbers of infants, toddlers and preschoolers do not have reliable places to call home - 40% of homeless children in shelters are under the age of four, with even more children and their families living in their cars or with friends.
High-quality child care buffers the strain of living with homelessness; serving as a reprieve for homeless children, a consistent place to nap, eat predictable meals (breakfast, lunch and snacks) and develop a sense of belonging. Stability, a nurturing caregiver, a safe environment and quality early learning prepare all children to start school ready to learn. These factors play an even more pivotal role in a homeless child's readiness for school.
Child Care Resources' Homeless Child Care Program, the only one of its kind in King County, occupies a critical place in the support services available for families experiencing homelessness. For more than 13 years, we have provided short-term child care payments and coordination of resources for families, as well as coaching and support for child care providers to successfully navigate the complexities of working with these vulnerable families.
Child care provides predictability for children
A recent job loss and poor employment prospects brought Kenneth, Angela and their family from Minnesota to Seattle in search of better opportunities. However, finding steady jobs and a place to call home proved difficult in the fast-paced Puget Sound area. With money running out and no support network, they soon found themselves homeless. A local shelter program located temporary housing for them - a motel room in north Seattle with their four young children (ages 9, 3, 2 and 1) and another on the way. Although grateful for the safe, dry place for their family to re-group, a cramped motel room was not ideal for a growing family.
The motel room had been home base for a few weeks when they reached out to CCR's Homeless Child Care program for help. CCR's staff identified a family child care near their motel, and enrolled and paid for the three youngest children to attend. Knowing that the children were well cared for allowed Angela to go to her medical appointments and tend to the family's various needs. Angela happily reports the kids are even getting along better with each other. With a stable environment, a community to call their own and the opportunity to be in an age-appropriate setting, all of the children are thriving. Stable child care and a loving caregiver also give the children a consistent and nurturing place to learn and develop, trying out new social and problem solving skills.
CCR's Homeless Program meets the challenge of finding and paying for short-term child care for families like Kenneth and Angela's every day - with more than 500 families receiving services through the program annually. Each story is different, but CCR's goal is the same - to ensure all children have access to quality early education regardless of their family situation.
Thanks so much to the RealNetworks Foundation for their ongoing support of our Homeless Child Care Program. We are so grateful for 7+ years of partnership!

I hope you have been enjoying our unusually sunny and warm spring weather. I recently returned from a conference in Washington D.C. where the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. It was spectacular! While in D.C. I spent a day visiting our state's legislators all of whom were excited to talk about the importance of Early Learning. Each expressed pride in representing the State of Washington because of our state's sizable investment in supporting our state's youngest learners.
I walked away from the day so proud to be a Washingtonian, but upon landing in Seattle was immediately reminded that despite some significant wins we still have a ways to go. Every day on my drive to work, I see evidence of the homelessness challenge in our community. I know that families raising young children are living in many of those cars and tents along my route and that they are often overlooked in the homelessness conversation.
If you remember, shortly after the civil homeless emer-gency announcement last fall, CCR's Homeless Child Care Program, the only program of its kind in King County, lost 50% of its funding ($500,000) effective February 1, 2016. I am relieved and grateful to report that with support from our community and government partners, we secured enough funding to keep our program intact for the 2016 calendar year. However, the need for funding remains as we continue to uncover sustainable dollars for 2017 and beyond. We feel confident that we will be able to maintain support for families in the multi-pronged ways we have been for 13 years
The work to help our youngest, most vulnerable children continues. Thank you for celebrating our wins on behalf of young children and for supporting the impactful work that is still before us. As always, call or email me any time.
Until next time,
Getting dirty. Climbing trees. Many of Yolina's happiest child-hood memories come from days spent running through the woods near her home. Two family matriarchs, her grandma and auntie, played a big part in Yolina's interest in working with children; from them she learned patience and nurturing and developed a strong work ethic. Most importantly, they taught her never to give up—whether reaching for the highest branch or realizing a dream.
Life has not always been easy. At times Yolina has lived paycheck-to-paycheck with her two children, lived in a homeless shelter, and cared for her ill aunt. Through each of these challenges, Yolina held onto her goal of building a career working with children.
Opportunity knocked when she met Trudy Mossop, who manages the Child Care Resources Careers program, at a Seattle Housing Authority event that connects Seattle Housing residents with community organizations to develop new skills to find better jobs. CCR's Child Care Careers program trains and certifies child care providers for work in the early learning field—increasing the pool of trained child care providers and expanding culturally relevant child care options for families.
During the 12-week program students receive comprehensive training and complete an internship at a licensed child care center. Curious and attentive in class, Yolina excelled in the Careers program and now works at Causey's Learning Center as a teaching assistant. Her Child Care Careers instructor reflected, "She brought a great positive presence that I'm sure is translating into her work with young children." Determined to keep moving forward, Yolina plans to continue her education and work toward a degree in early childhood education; she may even open her own child care business one day. "I'm happy working with children. It doesn't feel like work. I want to do well at it because it is important work."
Theressa is a Manager of Professional Development and has been with CCR for almost 24 years.
What you're working on:
Our team coordinates professional development opportunities for child care providers with special focus on Early Achievers standards and content that is relevant to the diverse children, families and communities we serve.
Favorite thing about your job:
At the core of my work is our vision that every child deserves a great start in school and life. My mantra is all children should be visible, valued and validated - every day. I love knowing that ultimately it is the children who benefit from my work with child care providers.
A recent challenge in your work:
An ongoing challenge in my work is eliminating the inequities within the early learning field. CCR takes this challenge to heart and puts creating equitable early learning environments for all children at the center of the conversation.
My favorite children's book:
My favorite children's book is Ellington was not a Street. The story reminds me of growing up listening to the kings and queens of jazz, like Duke Ellington and Dinah Washington, on the old 78 records while my parents held meetings at our home to organize against the segregation and acts of racism happening in Fairbanks, Alaska.
"Nanny's Preschool has been our life's work for the past 27 years. We believe that quality early education is the rebar in the foundation of a child's life.
We have partnered with CCR for 15 years because we share their mission and know that they will be thoughtful and effective stewards of our contributions."
After discovering CCR's Homeless Child Care Program crowdfunding campaign last winter, the youth group at the Chinese Baptist Church on Beacon Hill selected the program as the beneficiary of their annual fundraising dinner on April 30th. Thank you to Erin Welch and the entire Homeless team for their amazing work that catches the attention of generous supporters like this inspiring group of teens.
To host your own community event, please see our fundraising kit.

Early Achievers has been updated, simplified, and improved overall and it is here to stay! It has been fully-funded and written into state law with passage of the Early Start Act this summer. In King and Pierce Counties alone, we have over 1,000 participating licensed facilities, serving 26,000 children! Of those participating facilities, 320 (and counting) have already been rated. Early Achievers is beneficial for children, because it highlights what children need in their child care setting to not only be successful now, but to thrive later on in school and in life.
Early Achievers offers an exciting menu of supports and incentives to participants:
Here's how Early Achievers has had a positive impact on one child care program:
"Participating in Early Achievers has given me the opportunity to stretch and grow. This experience has given me the tools, knowledge, and confidence to make changes in my family child care." ~ Deborah K. Hayford, Family Child Care Provider

The Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS) at the University of Washington is leading the way in research on early brain development. They are building an online library of resources for early learning professionals, parents, caregivers, policymakers, and interested community members. CCR is excited to partner with I-LABS to share this critical early learning information with the families and child care providers that we engage with every day.
Each online module explores a specific topic in early brain science, such as imitation and language acquisition, and nests it within the larger landscape of child development. All modules are free and are designed to be appropriate for use in everyday interactions with children, as well as for informing system-level programs and policies.
The library of online training modules can be viewed at http://ilabs.uw.edu/outreach-modules
You can also learn about exciting research being done at I-LABS by joining them for a tour to see the only MEG Brain Imaging machine that records brain activity in infants during real-time interactions. http://ilabs.uw.edu/upcoming-outreach-events

Gasoline Rises as Home Prices, Consumer Confidence Climb
Gasoline advanced as U.S. home prices rose more than expected in July and American consumer confidence jumped to a seven-month high in September.
Futures gained 1.7 percent as the S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities increased 1.2 percent from July 2011, the biggest 12-month jump since August 2010, a report from the group showed today in New York. Gasoline extended its increase after the Conference Board's index of consumer confidence increased to 70.3 from 61.3 in August.
"We've gotten a break in gasoline prices lately and now a rebound in home prices and those two factors are making people feel a little bit better," said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago.
Gasoline for October delivery rose 4.95 cents to $2.9671 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest settlement since Sept. 14.
The median forecast of 23 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 1.1 percent gain in housing prices.
The group's measure of present conditions increased to a five-month high of 50.2 from 46.5 in August. The measure of expectations for the next six months advanced to 83.7, the highest since February, from 71.1.
The portion of respondents in the Conference Board survey expecting more jobs to become available in the next six months climbed to 18.5 percent, the highest level since February, from 15.8 percent the previous month. The proportion of consumers who expect their incomes to rise over the next six months rose to 16.3 percent, the highest 2012 level, from 16 percent in August.
Confidence Report
"That report was clearly bullish," said Andrew Lebow, a senior vice president at Jefferies Bache LLC in New York. "Stocks ticked up and so did the oil market."
Futures were up before the two reports as crude oil rose after Fars, Iran's state-run news agency, reported that Iran fired four missiles in the Persian Gulf as part of a war game. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is scheduled to speak before the UN tomorrow, said in a U.S. television interview yesterday his nation will defend itself if attacked by Israel.
"The oil market was supported when we saw that Iran fired some test missiles over the weekend," said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC in Houston. "Now, the U.S. economic numbers have provided some measure of support to the oil market."
Plosser Comments
Gasoline and heating oil trimmed gains and stocks and crude oil fell after Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser said new bond buying announced by the Fed this month probably won't boost growth or hiring and may jeopardize the central bank's credibility.
Concern that Europe's debt crisis is worsening grew after two reports that Spanish tax receipts fell in August and government spending rose.
"You got weak data out of Spain and comments from Plosser caused some concern," Flynn said.
Regular gasoline at the pump rose 0.2 cent to $3.81 a gallon yesterday, AAA data show. It was the first increase in 11 days. Prices reached a 2012 high of $3.936 on April 4.
October-delivery heating oil advanced 0.99 cent, or 0.3 percent, to settle at $3.1086 a gallon on the exchange.

Populations of the same species often face different selection pressures and, increasingly, the demography of populations within a species has been shown to be highly variable. Knowledge of such intraspecific differences has implications for substituting demographic data, a practice that is often necessary for population modelling due to missing parameters. The red fox Vulpes vulpes, a widely-studied, widespread and economically important species, offers an opportunity to consider the degree of intraspecific variability in the demography of a carnivore and to test the consequences of interpopulation data substitution. We use published life history data to review the extent and quality of demographic data for fox populations. Using demographic descriptors, matrix models, and perturbation analyses, we identify important demographic properties and classify interpopulation variation along the fast–slow continuum. We also illustrate the consequences of data substitution in demographic models. Data quality varies substantially between reviewed studies. Sufficient data exist to model the demography of eight of 56 study populations. Modelled populations have a tendency towards positive population growth, with survival and fecundity of the youngest age class contributing most to that growth. Metrics point to strategies ranging from medium to fast life histories. While broad demographic similarities exist among fox populations, our results imply considerable demographic variation between populations. We show that significant differences in model outcomes based on substituted data are dependent on the parameter replaced, and that geographic proximity does not imply demographic similarity. Superficially, the red fox appears to have been well studied, yet there are remarkably few usable demographic data from much of its range. Despite 70 years of published studies, we were unable to examine the effects on demographic parameters of harvesting regimes, density and weather. We propose improvements to enhance the value of demographic data, both for foxes and for other species.

Jimmy McMillan Clarifies His Positions on Gay Marriage, Ron Paul
"Take a page out of the Egyptians' book."
Fresh off the announcement that he's running for president, former gubernatorial candidate and vocal adversary of high rent Jimmy McMillan showed up at the Conservative Political Action Conference yesterday to clarify some of his positions. Mostly he said what he will not be doing: "You talk about Roe versus Wade, we talk about hunger. A new game now in town. Jimmy McMillan is that game. You've been talking about the same things for seventy years. We're not going to talk about that. Look twice at your children. They have nothing. Take a note out of the page of Egyptians. They fought for social justice. They fought against poverty." More specifically, does he support Ron Paul? "Does Ron Paul support me?" How about gay marriage? "If you want to marry a shoe, I'll marry you."
Jimmy McMillan is an awesome Intel favorite, but this is almost starting to seem like when a previously unpopular classmate runs for class office on a rebellious, cavalier campaign that consists largely of railing against the establishment, and he's up against an arguably more qualified overachiever who's slightly less charming. Then the whole class rallies around the quirky one because it's funny, and he wins. Anyway, check out McMillan's manifesto, below:

Menopause Health Center
Hormone Replacement Therapy: One Size Does Not Fit All
Both doctors point out that women have many alternatives to HRT. A new class of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), including Evista (raloxifene), has been designed to prevent osteoporosis without the stimulating effect on breast tissue seen with estrogen. However, these drugs are too new for doctors to know what their long-term effects will be. Other drugs also are available that may lower osteoporosis risk, such as Fosamax (alendronate).
Manson reminds women that they can also lower their risk of heart disease and osteoporosis through changes in lifestyle. "Many women may be able to get by without these hormones at all," she says. A diet low in fat and rich in calcium and fiber, along with regular weight-bearing or resistance exercise, could accomplish much of what HRT is meant to do. Says Peters, "Perhaps we have become too dependent on pills rather than making lifestyle changes, because those changes are harder to do."
"There are a lot of options for women to discuss with their doctors," Manson says. Adds Peters, "After weighing all the factors, some women may choose to remain on HRT and just be more diligent about getting follow-up examinations. Others may make other choices. The bottom line is, the patient needs to discuss her concerns with her physician and come up with the decision that's best for her."
Topics to Discuss With Your Physician:
- Family history of breast cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis
- Other risk factors for breast cancer
- Duration of HRT use
- Dosage of HRT
- Perimenopause
- Alternatives to HRT, including Evista or Fosamax
- Lifestyle changes

function TheFunctionICanUseRightAwaySingleForAllInstansesAndWithoutInstanse() {
function() {
alert('NO CONSTRUCTOR WAS CALLED');
The Long-named function must be callable from
MyGlobalObject, which in turn must be available as a global (to
window) variable in all times after script was loaded. It should support extensibility in accordance with latest standards.
I'm at architectural dilemma of how to built JS base for an application (almost 100% JS).
We need an object i.e.
window.MyObject (like a module, like jQuery) so
It can be created with
var MyGlobalObjConstructor = function(){
this.GlobalFunctionInObject = function(){
alert('called with MyGlobalObj.GlobalFunctionInObject()');
window.MyGlobalObj = new MyGlobalObjConstructor();
MyGlobalObj extensible? Can I create child objects, which will inherit current state of
MyGlobalObj (extended functions/properties
MyGlobalObj.NewFunc e.g.)? What is the main difference between using prototype (VAR3)?
GlobaldFunction I mean single instance for all initialized/instantiated (possibly instantializable) instances..
Or with
var MyGlobalObj = {
GlobalFunctionInObject: function...
GlobalFunctionInObject2: function...
// here I lose all hierarchy elements, no prototype,
// can I use GlobalFunctionInObject2 in GlobalFunctionInObject?
Or with
var MyGlobalConstuctor = function(){} // already 'well-formed' object
MyGlobalConstuctor.prototype.GlobalFunctionInObject = function...
var MyGlobalObj = new MyGlobalConstuctor();
// so I'm sceptical to NEW, because I have ALREADY wrote my functions
// which I expect to be in memory, single instance of each of them,
// so creating MyObject2,3,4 with NEW MyGC() makes no sense to me.
// DO I REALLY HAVE TO USE "MyGlobalConstuctor.prototype." FOR EACH FUNCTION?!!!!
What's the difference defining
MyGlobalObj as a function and as an object (result of func or VAR2)?
I see in Chrome Debugger both prototype and
__proto__ special fields. I've read that that's OK, but why are they not saved in a single prototype?
So, what is the correct/optimal way to implement
window.MyObject, so one could
MyObject.MyFunction(); What are the differences (pro/contra) of variants 1 2 and 3?
