Submitted photo / Cummins Inc. expects to sell 32 QSK95 engines to Siemens AG for use in high-speed passenger train locomotives. Introduction of the 95-liter engine with an output of about 4,000 horsepower, has prompted the company to invest $219 million in its Seymour facilities, creating an additional 290 jobs. The engine should be in full production sometime in 2015.
Cummins Inc. diesel engines built in Seymour will power passengers along high-speed trains in Illinois, California and three other states if the project stays on track.
Seymour Engine Plant is close to having a new customer for its QSK95, the 4,000-plus-horsepower behemoth known as the Hedgehog, the largest engine Cummins builds and the catalyst for a $219 million expansion in Seymour.
Spokesman Jon Mills confirmed that the Columbus-based engine maker is working on a contract with Siemens AG to produce 32 Hedgehogs for use in high-speed passenger train locomotives designed to reach 125 mph.

Sedona Mago Retreat is a center for spiritual awakening and holistic healing
'Sun Tao'
Center for Spiritual Awakening and Holistic Healing
Sedona Mago Retreat is operated by Tao Fellowship, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is "Love Humanity, Love the Earth."
Tao Fellowship was established in 1998 to promote the spirit of Tao as universal principles of harmonious living and a peaceful world. The tradition of Taoism that Tao Fellowship represents is Sun Tao (仙道), the Korean Taoist tradition with 10,000-year history. Sun (仙) is the combination of human (人) and mountain (山), meaning a human being living in harmony with nature. Sedona Mago Retreat is its primary means of educating the public about the principles and practices of Sun Tao.
As a spiritual center seeking interfaith friendship, we believe that peace and harmony can be realized through our connection with Earth; without which, humanity cannot survive. Our common goal is sustainability of earth and all of its inhabitants, now and for future generations.
Founder Ilchi LeeIlchi Lee initiated the spiritual movement of enlightenment that eventually contributed to the formation of Tao Fellowship. Since its establishment, Ilchi Lee also helped the organization as a member of its board of directors. Currently he doesn't have any position or title in the organization. However, he still loves to meet members of Tao Fellowship and gives lectures occasionally. This is part of his life-long endeavor to encourage world peace by helping people develop the positive potentials of their brains.
For years, Ilchi Lee has strived to help thousands of people worldwide enhance their physical, mental, and spiritual capacity by honoring and harnessing the energy of their brains. His efforts started in the early 1980's, with the creation of the first Dahn Yoga studio in Seoul. Since then, he has formed several non-profit and for-profit organizations, authored over 30 books, including New York Times Bestseller "The Call of Sedona," and organized numerous events to help bring that vision to fruition.
Born in Korea in 1950, Ilchi Lee struggled through school until he started asking the questions that most mattered to him: who am I, and what is my purpose here?
His inquiry led him down a path of study that included spiritual practices of Tao, clinical pathology, physical education, and oriental medicine. Ilchi Lee was fascinated with the interaction between the human body and the psyche, and focused his attention on both Western and Eastern medicinal wisdom. Through intense personal training and hours of study, he started to see a glimmer of the philosophy that would later form the basis of the Tao Fellowship, among his other endeavors.
For Ilchi Lee, the true potential of humanity is intimately linked to the potential of the human brain. Tao Fellowship seeks to help develop and amplify the spiritual and peaceful nature of the human brain.
Calling Americans to Choose a New Dream of Human Peace
President Steve KimSteve Kim, is the president of Tao Fellowship and Executive Director of Earth Citizens Organization (ECO).
When asked why the organization is named the Earth Citizens Organization, Steve responds that everyone on the planet naturally identifies themselves as an Earth Citizen. By doing so, each person accepts the whole planet as his or her personal concern. The Earth Citizen Leadership program was established to help people practice mindful living. When people awaken to individual and mindful choices that are good for one another and our beautiful planet, Steve explains that it will eventually lead to improved sustainability on a global scale.
Sayong Kim, COO of Sedona Mago RetreatSayong Kim has been the COO of Sedona Mago Retreat since 2002. Earlier in his life, Sayong developed sciatic neuralgia and suffered from back pain for over ten years. While various Western and Eastern healing modalities helped, they could not cure his pain. He started practicing Sun Tao, and his back healed in less than three months. This changed the course of his life. He quit the Ph.D. program and set out to become an instructor of the Tao Healing Practice. While practicing Sun Tao in Korea, he heard about Sedona and came to Sedona Mago Retreat for the first time in 1996. Ilchi Lee, Sun Tao and Tao Fellowship Founder, was his guide at the time and Sayong was very impressed with his teachings. Sayong understood that the activities of this non-profit organization could help people to live happier and healthier lives.
Sayong's goal is to share Tao principles and practices and to develop Sedona Mago Retreat into the top retreat center in the country.
A Note from Sayong:
After becoming COO of Sedona Mago Retreat, I felt a huge weight on my shoulders as I contemplated the enormity of the job I had undertaken. One day, I climbed to the top of a small mountain overlooking our retreat center. I looked down on our beautiful land and spontaneously raised my hands between my eyes to gaze down on the land. From this vantage point, I could cover the entire property with my small hands! In that moment, I realized that this organization is not a burden and that I could manage it well. I made up my mind to grow this organization and to take good care of its sacred land. Now, 13 years have passed and I am more committed than ever to our beautiful mission to Love Humanity, Love the Earth.
Every morning I look out my window at the surrounding mountains and realize that I am in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I feel very grateful for the circumstances and surroundings around me. I am aware that all our activities are for the grand vision of Sedona Mago Retreat. This awareness helps me come out of my small ego-box and live moment to moment. The place where I am and the vision that I focus on are a lighthouse for my journey.
I do many hours of office work every day, have numerous meetings each week and offer several different types of programs, depending on the schedule. Like any other COO of an organization, I can experience a lot of stress. Whenever I feel stressful and negative emotions, I try to smile for a few seconds to release the heavy energy and practice the simple Solar Body exercises that Ilchi Lee teaches. While I am doing these exercises, I feel the energy of Sedona helps me to awaken more deeply. Every day can be stressful but as long as I do Solar Body exercises and am in Sedona, I am sure that I can manage myself better than in any other location.
"Enlightenment is a choice." This is a message I received from my teacher. Everything is a choice. My life is also my choice and the responsibilities I have are a result of that choice.
I urge you to come to Sedona at least one time in your life, especially when you feel down because of your life's issues. For me, the nature of Sedona is special. Here, I release my worries and concerns easily and regain my inner power for my vision and goals.
I want to recover my true nature with and within the work I am doing every day. Whatever I do here, whatever we do here, I want it to help people, the Earth, and future generations. Living in Sedona, I feel my true instinct to benefit all. Sedona helps me to connect more deeply to my true nature.
Every morning I pray for my soul, my family, my community, our supporters and our grand vision. And together, all Tao masters at Sedona Mago Retreat offer our prayer every morning: "May all people, all life forms, and all beings be well."

It's a community row that has triggered passion on both sides
- art versus a picnic table.
The fate of the table remains uncertain as concerned
residents ask the Mosgiel Taieri Community Board to leave it
Campbell Shaw, of Mosgiel, asked the board at its last
meeting to keep the picnic table on the corner of Gordon and
Factory Rds.
At the previous board meeting, the board agreed the picnic
table be removed entirely from the site and the sculpture be
fully reinstated.
The Beech Leaf Stepping Stones sculpture, by German-born
artist Siegfried Koglmeier, was installed in 1996.
Its leaf-shaped concrete paving stones were designed to
reference a nearby beech tree.
However, members of the art community, including the Otago
Sculpture Trust, responded angrily early this year after a
picnic table was installed on the site - under the direction
of the community board - and some paving stones removed.
The board has asked the community for ideas on where to
relocate the table.
Board deputy chairman Mark Willis has been approached by two
organisations with suggestions and another organisation
wanting the table to remain.
Mr Shaw said the picnic table could co-exist with the
sculpture if the missing parts were reinstated.
The picnic table was well used and it staying on site would
not spoil the fallen-beech-leaf sculpture.
''It's people friendly and attractive, a true community
He wanted the community board to poll Mosgiel residents on
the table location and expected most residents would want the
picnic table to remain on site.
Mr Shaw was a volunteer who helped build and install the
table but said he was not speaking on behalf of the volunteer
group, but as a concerned citizen.
Councillor Kate Wilson said the board wanted the missing
sculpture pieces to be reinstated and the picnic table to be
moved, either on or off site, and a decision would be made at
the next board meeting on Tuesday.

Politics Inside Politics Gossip: Shelton Out. Shelton In.
25-year-old Viet Shelton was the state Democratic Party's spokesmanuntil he got demoted to assistant when the paranoid Cantwell campaign (which relies on the state party to do its sound-biting) decided he didn't have enough experience.
Well, in a loss to the Dem party, Sheltona rising star in local politics until his weird demotionleft his assistant position this week to take a hefty job as a senior staffer for Team Nickels. Shelton is going to be Nickels's political outreach director.
Congrats to Shelton. Although, he's inherited quite a mess: Nickels's costly, environmentally uncool tunnel plan; Nickels's clunky clampdown on music venues; Nickels's plan to kill strip clubs; and Nickels's forever tax for roads maintenance (and potentially roads expansion).
Of course, Shelton got a nice break on Nickels's tax plan. Now that Tim Eyman is campaigning against it, the $1.6 billion plan is sure to pass.
Welcome to Team Nickels, Mr. Shelton. They've been out of whack for months and could certainly use your help.
*Shelton is half filling the spot of Marco Lowe, Nickels's former outreach director, who left last month after 7 years as a Nickels's staffer (dating back to Nickels's county council days). Lowe's job has been divvied up and Shelton is taking on the politicking piece. As Zander points out in the comments, Shelton was Nickels campaign manager in 2005. Lowe was Nickels's campaign manager in '01.

Romney planning to visit Israel over the summer
WASHINGTON Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is planning a trip to Israel this summer.
An aide to Romney confirms that a trip is being planned. No details are immediately available about exactly when and where the candidate will visit.
A trip to Israel would be designed in part to help Romney shore up support among Jewish voters, evangelical voters and conservatives.
During the Republican presidential primary, Romney accused President Barack Obama of throwing Israel, in his words, "under the bus." Romney has also said that his policy toward the Jewish state would be the opposite of Obama's.
The New York Times first reported plans of the visit.

Love soul food but concerned about the high calories that comes with it? Here, Angela Shelf Medearis from the television program "The Kitchen Diva" shares her fresh, flavorful and healthy recipe for baked catfish with a green onion and butter sauce.
Baked catfish
- 4 small whole catfish (2 pounds), dressed and rinsed
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 green onions, green parts only (reserve white parts for sauce)
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large bunch rosemary
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 large lemon, cut into 8 slices
- 1/2 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
- Green onion and butter sauce (recipe follows)
Green onion and butter sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 8 green onions, white parts only, diced
- 1 cup reduced-sodium vegetable broth or water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon whipped butter
Baking Directions:
Most of the students who attend my cooking classes express a fear of cooking fish because they can't tell when it's done. This is a great dish for beginners, as baking the fish in the sauce keeps it moist while it cooks, and it's easy to check for doneness. Select U.S. farm-raised catfish for the best quality.Baked catfishPreheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 13 by 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Place the fish in the baking dish. Pour the olive oil over the fish and rub it inside and out to coat. Sprinkle the poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper inside and outside of the fish.Stuff each fish with an equal amount of the green onion tops, yellow onion slices, and rosemary sprigs, plus a quarter of the smashed garlic and 1 lemon slice. Sprinkle the paprika on the fish. Place one of the remaining slices of lemon on top of each fish. Pour the green onion and butter sauce around the fish.Place the fish, uncovered, in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.Green onion and butter sauceIn a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the flour, poultry seasoning,, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, stirring for a minute to combine the spices and cook the flour. Add the onions and stir for another minute. Increase the heat to high. Add the vegetable broth or water and lemon juice. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and bubbles. Stir in the butter.

LONDON (August 1, 2013)--The BBC apologized Thursday after broadcasting a picture of Prince William that included an obscene doodle drawn onto his head.
Eagle-eyed viewers caught a glimpse of a picture of the prince with a penis drawn on his head on Thursday morning when the image flashed up during a music video for a song titled "I Could Have Married Kate" by comedy singing group Barbershopera.
Several viewers tweeted a screen-grab of the image, which was shown during the BBC's breakfast television program.
The BBC said "the material was provided by Barbershopera but we failed to spot the offending material within it. We apologize for this."

Chow Par-tay!

I'm reading a book about the first U.S. Congress, and I learned that at all the evening soirees (which apparently happened most every night) everyone drank whipped syllabub.
Whipped syllabub?
I texted a friend to ask what whipped syllabub was.
My friend texted to say: "Ha! That's an old British thing. It's a mixture of whipped cream, whipped egg whites, sugar, and white wine. Sound gross to me."
Not me. I want to dress up like James Madison and have a whipped syllabub party.

I'm trying to find a creative solution to a problem I've got and need your generous help :D
I've got a tracking script which I've got in my footer.php before the </body> tag. The problem is, each script is different for each page.
Here's an example:
<script src="http://www.gotomerchant.com/tracking202/static/landing.php?lpip=946" type="text/javascript"></script>
The '946' is manually generated elsewhere from the Tracking software.
For simplicity I want to be able to use a Custom Field to store this number. Then have something like the following in the footer to generate it:
function tracking_stuff() {
if (is_single() || is_page()) {
echo '<script src="http://www.gotomerchant.com/tracking202/static/landing.php?lpip=';
echo '" type="text/javascript"></script>';
add_action('thesis_hook_after_html', 'tracking_stuff');
The only challenge is that because the footer is outside the loop, I am having issues calling the tracking number.
The above is a bit hacky but I'm only a beginner at PHP, does anybody know how to call Fields from outside the loop?
Would appreciate your help :D

Practical Info
McLaren Vale Winery is 40 minutes by road from Adelaide and only minutes drive from the coast. The best way to see the region is by organised tour or hiring a car.

Man denies domestic assaultAugust 07,2014Local man denies
domestic assault
A man denied a charge of domestic assault for allegedly striking a woman outside a home on Meadow Street in Wallingford.
Christian Brown, 43, of Wallingford pleaded innocent to the charge Tuesday in Rutland criminal court. He was released on court-ordered conditions, including that he stay away from the woman.
Brown was arrested Monday after police were called to 47 Meadow St. by a woman who said Brown struck her during an argument, Vermont State Police said in an affidavit.
Christian later denied to police that he struck the woman. He told police the woman lost her balance while arguing with him and her glasses fell off her face, but he never hit her.
If convicted, Brown faces up to 18 months in jail.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT, PA. - "If you want to try something new or if you're stale in your job and want to break out of the routine," said Russ Wright, "doing field work will remind you of why we're here, how important our job is and I think you'll enjoy it."
One of the biggest draws for members of the FRA network is the mobile nature of their work, never knowing where the job will take them, but knowing the work they do is vital to the success of warfighters serving around the world.
Tobyhanna's FRA East Branch directs nearly 100 employees based at several military installations east of the Mississippi River, including the depot. As part of a network of electronics repair, these specialists support systems such as Standard Army Management Information Systems (STAMIS), Command Post Systems & Integration (CPS&I) equipment formerly known as TOCs (Tactical Operations Center), Air Defense/Air Space Management (ADAM) Cell, Army Airborne Command and Control System (A2C2S), and Common Ground Station (CGS).
The branch boasts regional support managers, field support representatives (FSR), equipment specialists and computer repair experts.
The FRA is capable of sustainment and training support of a broad range of Army systems, explained Lead Field Support Representative Joe Gonzalez, adding that work consists of preventative maintenance, forward repair, training and Reset. Gonzalez works with an FRA team that supports several units stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C.
STAMIS volunteers repair computer systems, which includes anything that is a desktop or laptop-based system, like MC4 (Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care) or office automation equipment.
"I have a few individuals who work on a CGS program at Fort Bragg and Tobyhanna," said Wright. "They are home-based here, but travel all over the world to support Soldiers." The program provides home station and temporary duty support for units throughout the continental United States including active and reserve components, the branch chief explained.
Dozens of workers also travel extensively supporting CPS&I Reset efforts at locations in the eastern United States and overseas. Units can ship equipment to one of Tobyhanna's strategically placed facilities or FRA employees can deploy to their location.
"Our mission is direct Soldier support," said Wright, "If the Soldier can't come to us, we go to them," he said. "Wherever the mission is, that's where members of the branch will be."
FRA East Branch is represented at six stateside locations, Iraq and Afghanistan. There are even employees stationed with the National Guard in Troy, N.Y.
Electronics Specialist Scott Cummings is part of the FRA team stationed at Wright Army Air Field, Fort Stewart, Ga. He works on CPS&I equipment and provides logistical and field support for several other programs. Cummings explained that he and the other FSRs procure parts and train Soldiers on the operation and performance capabilities of components.
"I feel the work we do is vital to the warfighter because it keeps the equipment we support in peak condition, which keeps the troops alive," Cummings said. "Sometimes we act as advisors or perform necessary repairs ourselves."
Reset teams can perform direct exchange on some items or make repairs ranging from replacing a cable to reloading software or a configuration change in the system. Capabilities also include sheet metal repair, environmental control unit and auxiliary power unit repair, and integration and testing of network/radio equipment.
"Employees on the Reset team are highly skilled, experienced, dedicated, talented and loyal people," said Angel Camacho, eastern region Reset manager, Fort Bragg, N.C. "We're here to support the warfighter 110 percent, no matter what it takes. Many lives depend on us."
Jason Mengel joined the FRA team to broaden his range of skills and travel to new places.
"As a Reset volunteer, I'm able to learn new things while providing a quality product in a timely manner," Mengel said. "The work performed here [Fort Bragg] helps the warfighters complete their mission successfully."
In Afghanistan, one electronics equipment specialist provides dedicated support to the 101st Airborne Combat Aviation Brigade. He also works with what he calls 'orphaned units' that need help on systems within his area of technical expertise.
"Although I'm primarily responsible for CPS&I and support auxiliary equipment such as trailer-mounted generators, the unit views my support as the 'jack of all trades' in areas pertaining to electronics and electrical," said John Hickman. "I've come to realize that every skill or talent a person possesses is useful when in theater." Hickman is a Tobyhanna FSR detailed out of Fort Campbell, Ky.
Hickman said working in an austere environment has taught him how to improvise when it comes to accomplishing the mission.
"These units often look to us [Tobyhanna] to come up with some particular plan or viable solution in a very short timeframe," he said. "While it may be easy to evaluate and order replacement parts, the real talent in providing quality support is being able to improvise a quick, short-term fix until permanent repairs can be completed."
For those considering a job like his, Hickman remarked it encompasses responsibilities from mentoring, teaching and advising.
"It is what you make of it," he said. "I know that my customer views me as critical and mission essential."
After retiring from the military, Edwin Bookout realized the FRA program was perfect for him.
"I still wanted to work around Soldiers," he said. "I love to fix things and the job is challenging and rewarding. Once you establish yourself with the unit and they understand you're there to help, you become the 'Tobyhanna guy.'"
Bookout is assigned to the FRA in Fort Drum, N.Y., where two teams of electronics equipment specialists work alongside brigade combat teams, and aviation and sustainment brigades assigned to the 10th Mountain Division.
More often than not, team members are either prepping for deployment or deployed to locations like Iraq or Afghanistan. The FRA also supports National Guard units as needed.
"We support the unit no matter where they go," Bookout said. "We cover everything from over-the-shoulder training for the Soldiers on the equipment, troubleshooting issues, upgrades and repairing/replacing bad subcomponents that make up the system. We get them ready for war, and then go with them."
When deployed, FRA employees depend on the depot for pay, parts and personnel actions. Bookout noted that getting parts can be an issue in the combat zone; however, Tobyhanna's quick response often impresses the unit.
The branch frequently receives accolades for a job well done, often highlighting an individual's work ethic or technical expertise.
"A very professional, well organized team issuing an above-standards product," said a customer who worked with branch employees at Fort Stewart.
Another customer from Fort Bragg wrote that he appreciated the dedication, determination, professionalism and "excellent" customer service provided by the FRA staff.
"These people went above and beyond to help me," he said. "For this line of work, I sense they have an intrinsic philosophy that excellence is a standard, not a goal."
Wright agrees. He believes the people who work for him are fantastic.
"What I think sets them apart is a sense of adventure, wanting to learn new things and meet new people," Wright said. "The most important aspect of an FRA is the ability for the Soldier to develop a relationship with the person who's providing the service at home or in the field."
Tobyhanna's network of electronics repair stretches around the globe to more than 50 FRA locations. Seventy-five percent of that workload is performed by hundreds of C3/Avionics Directorate employees assigned to the FRA Division's four branches.
FRAs can operate from the frontlines or a unit's home station. Charged with the same overall mission as C3/Avionics-repairing and overhauling electronics equipment-they are located in 18 states and several locations in Europe and Southwest Asia.
(Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of articles scheduled to appear in the Tobyhanna Reporter detailing the Command, Control and Computers (C3)/Avionics Directorate's extensive Forward Repair Activity (FRA) mission. The articles will focus on the people and workload that supports America's military.
Tobyhanna Army Depot is the Defense Department's largest center for the repair, overhaul and fabrication of a wide variety of electronics systems and components, from tactical field radios to the ground terminals for the defense satellite communications network. Tobyhanna's missions support all branches of the Armed Forces.
About 5,600 personnel are employed at Tobyhanna, which is located in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania.
Tobyhanna Army Depot is part of the U.S. Army CECOM Life Cycle Management Command. Headquartered at Fort Monmouth, N.J., the command's mission is to research, develop, acquire, field and sustain communications, command, control computer, intelligence, electronic warfare and sensors capabilities for the Armed Forces.

Created: 10/21/2013 6:05 PM KSTP.com
(AP) DALLAS - Halliburton Co. boosted its third-quarter net income by 17 percent on strong revenue from its international operations, which offset sluggishness in North America.
But revenue came in below analysts' expectations, and the shares fell 3.5 percent.
Halliburton helps energy producers drill for oil and gas, and it's still seeing too much capacity for pressure-pumping services in North America as oilfield-service companies fight for a bigger share of the shale oil and gas boom. That's driving down prices for contractors like Halliburton.
"We anticipate pricing pressure will continue as contracts renew during the next quarter or so," Chairman and CEO Dave Lesar said on a conference call with analysts. "Accordingly, we are already working on adjusting our cost structure," which he said would include job reductions.
Company officials told analysts that as they learn to operate more efficiently, they found they had too many people for the available work. That doesn't foreshadow a longer slowdown in the business, they said.
They didn't give figures, but said most of the cuts were in North America. In July, the company said it had more than 75,000 employees in about 80 countries. Halliburton took $38 million in charges to cover severance payments and write down asset values in the third quarter.
Houston-based Halliburton also said operations in Colorado continued to be affected by last month's flooding.
The stock fell $1.81 to close at $50.66. The shares ended the day up 46 percent in 2013.
For the three months ended Sept. 30, the Houston-based company earned $706 million, or 79 cents per share. Its earnings were $707 million excluding discontinued operations. A year earlier it earned $602 million, or 65 cents per share.
Excluding restructuring charges, the company earned 83 cents per share from continuing operations, a penny more than analysts expected, according to a survey by FactSet.
Revenue rose 5 percent to $7.47 billion, led by improvement in international operations including Russia, the North Sea and Angola.
In North America, the company's largest region, revenue declined 2 percent as the U.S. land rig count was flat and there was _ according to Halliburton _ about 20 percent too much service capacity.
Total revenue was below Wall Street's consensus forecast of $7.50 billion.
Lesar said that fourth-quarter revenue and margins in Latin America will be hurt by curtailed activity in Mexico, but he said the company still has a positive outlook for the region.
The company expects profit margins to improve in North America next year as activity expands in the Gulf of Mexico and Halliburton benefits from initiatives that it calls "Battle Red" and "Frac of the Future" _ the latter is a reference to hydraulic fracturing or "fracking." That's the process in which chemicals and water are pumped underground at high pressure to break open rock formations and release oil and gas. It has spurred a boom in U.S. production.

'The Hunger Games' - the turning point in Lawrence's career
By IANS - NEW DELHI
Published: 26th November 2013 12:41 PM
Last Updated: 26th November 2013 12:42 PM
Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Lawrence says that "The Hunger Games" changed her career path.
Prior to "The Hunger Games", the 23-year-old's work in independent movie "Winter's Bone" was appreciated and she was content with it.
"I started out in indies and I always imagined myself being in smaller movies for the rest of my career. Then 'The Hunger Games' came along and I was in a big pickle. I would have done it in a heartbeat if it were an indie, but it was giant! I had to take a few days to think about it," Lawrence said in a statement.
"It took everything to a different place than I could have never imagined. And the Oscar did wonderful things for my career. I'm just rolling with it," she added.
Lawrence, who won an Oscar award for her work in "Silver Linings Playbook", will be seen in sci-fi adventure movie "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire".
It is set to release in India Dec 6 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

I seem to remember we debated this early on and decided it was unnecessary and potentially confusing, since you can effectively cancel by navigating away from the unsaved form at any time, which is pretty standard for web apps/forms.
I'm willing to reconsider provided a reasonably compelling usability argument or use case for why this method makes more sense.
comment:6 Changed 11 years ago by Jason Huggins
Whoops. I thought I *did* add the spit and polish already... To be honest, I was using tadalist.com as inspiration for the "or cancel" link. So, I blame them for the lack of style. :-)
Regarding usability... perhaps the "or cancel" link at a minimum should be on the delete form... It's not obvious what you should in the delete confirmation page if you *don't* want to actually delete the object afterall. From a usability point of view... a simple "Yes or No" choice is expected... It's weird to see only a "Yes" option button... but no obvious way to cancel the action.
As an alternative to "or cancel"... I've also seen links in some web apps saying something like "Return to home"... which functionaly works the same as a cancel button. Basically, my point is... not all casual web app users know to or like to use breadcrumbs for all site navigation... Sometimes a little extra navigational help is a good thing.
comment:7 Changed 11 years ago by adrian
I agree that the "Or cancel" should only go on the delete page. Having it on the add/change pages would get too cluttered and confusing.

is using TinyMCE a top choice for WYSIWYG editor on a webpage? What are good alternatives?
some comparison seems to show that TinyMCE is one of the most compatible across browsers:
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
is using TinyMCE a top choice for WYSIWYG editor on a webpage? What are good alternatives?
some comparison seems to show that TinyMCE is one of the most compatible across browsers:
TinyMCE is a great choice. I've used it in commercial offerings with good results. I'm also looking at FCKEditor for a new project specifically because of the integrated file upload and rumors that it has better XSS protection. Frankly, I'm not sure either one is sufficient to protect against XSS (you may have to supplement with something like http://htmlpurifier.org/ if that is a concern).
I've been using FCKEditor with ASP.NET for years and have found it very easy to customize and configure. It's very stable and the intergrated upload feature is a plus. http://www.fckeditor.net/
This is one of the best in my opinion:
If you are using PHP or ASP.NET on the back end, take a look at SPAW Editor.
Nicedit is useful for some simple text areas and it has a somewhat clean javascript api.
There is a list of other possible richtext boxes here.
TinyMCE and FCKeditor are the top two WYSIWYG editors in terms of popularity. They are both feature-rich and highly customizable. In my opinion TinyMCE is the easiest to use and maintain of the myriad different options, and still gets my vote after 4 years of usage. YUI is another nice choice worth evaluating, as are the others listed above. I've listed the demo pages for each below:
I'm liking this Stack Overflow one as well though, +1 to the crew.
TinyMCE was the editor that we chose when we were making an internal staff website. The nice part about it was all the keyboard shortcuts (probably found in other editors) and that it was the same editor used inside of WordPress.
We were very happy with how the site turned out, and kept the editor. I would recommend TinyMCE for your project.
Why not try the Stackoverflow site's solution?
you can find details in Stackoverflow's blog post here : Potential Markup and Editing Choices
As many have said here, FCKEditor is a good alternative. However, pay attention to the licensing models of the editors especially if you're planning on using them for a commercial, closed-source application.
TinyMCE is just LGPL.
CKEditor (the most recent manifestation of FCK Editor) has a separate Closed Distribution License which may cost you some moulah...
I like the feature set and theme of FCKEditor/CKEditor better than TinyMCE but I often end up using TinyMCE due to it being a little simpler to handle in terms of licensing.
No one has mentioned the CuteEditor yet. It's got a silly name, but it's actually quite nice to work with. It's not free, but an enterprise license (which allows you to use it on any number of servers, dev workstations etc) is only 900 bucks or something ridiculously cheap. I believe it's only availble for ASP.Net and classic ASP, though I could be wrong.
TinyMCE and similar editors are not suitable for non-technical people who are likely to mess up the markup. Specially when said non-techy people copy formatted text from word into the RTE on the web page, thinking it's the most natural thing to do.
If you're audience is technical, something like markdown (as used here on SO) is more suitable.
If they're non-technical, let them use WYMeditor (WYM = what you mean), and provide some sort of a tutorial/explanation so they can use it.

Overcoming Misconceptions: Misconceptions as Barriers to Understanding Science
Reprinted with permission from "Science Teaching Reconsidered: A Handbook" (© 1997) by the National Academy of Sciences, courtesy of the National Academies Press, Washington, DC.
Teachers can be astonished to learn that, despite their best efforts, students do not grasp fundamental ideas covered in class. Even some of the best students give the right answers, but are only using correctly-memorized words. When questioned more closely, these students reveal their failure to understand the underlying concepts fully. Students are often able to use algorithms to solve numerical problems without completely understanding the underlying scientific concepts. Mazur (1997) reported that students in his physics class had memorized equations and problem-solving skills, but performed poorly on tests of conceptual understanding. Nakhleh and Mitchell (1993) studied 60 students in an introductory course for chemistry majors. In an exam which paired an algorithmic problem with a conceptual question on the same topic, only 49 percent of those students classified as having high algorithmic ability were able to answer the parallel conceptual question.
Besides offering students information and helpful examples, we must show them the reasoning processes that lead to algorithms and conceptual generalizations. Inclusion of conceptual questions on tests is another way to emphasize the importance of this aspect of problem solving. In many cases, students have developed partially correct ideas that can be used as the foundation for further learning. However, many students have not developed an appropriate understanding of fundamental concepts from the beginning of their studies, and this shortcoming can interfere with subsequent learning.
Types of Misconceptions
A familiar example from elementary school is students' understanding of the relationship between the earth and the sun. While growing up, children are told by adults that the "sun is rising and setting," giving them an image of a sun that moves about the earth. In school, students are told by teachers (years after they have already formed their own mental model of how things work) that the earth rotates. Students are then faced with the difficult task of deleting a mental image that makes sense to them, based on their own observations, and replacing it with a model that is not as intuitively acceptable. This task is not trivial, for students must undo a whole mental framework of knowledge that they have used to understand the world.
The example of the earth rotating rather than the sun orbiting the earth is one of many that teachers refer to collectively as misconceptions. Misconceptions can be categorized as follows:
- Preconceived Notions
Preconceived notions are popular conceptions rooted in everyday experiences. For example, many people believe that water flowing underground must flow in streams because the water they see at the earth's surface flows in streams. Preconceived notions plague students' views of heat, energy, and gravity, among others.
- Nonscientific Beliefs
Nonscientific beliefs include views learned by students from sources other than scientific education, such as religious or mythical teachings. For example, some students have learned through religious instruction about an abbreviated history of the earth and its life forms. The disparity between this widely held belief and the scientific evidence for a far more extended pre-history has led to considerable controversy in the teaching of science.
- Conceptual Misunderstandings
Conceptual misunderstandings arise when students are taught scientific information in a way that does not provoke them to confront paradoxes and conflicts resulting from their own preconceived notions and nonscientific beliefs. To deal with their confusion, students construct faulty models that usually are so weak that the students themselves are insecure about the concepts.
- Vernacular Misconceptions
Vernacular misconceptions arise from the use of words that mean one thing in everyday life and another in a scientific context (e.g., "work"). A geology professor noted that students have difficulty with the idea that glaciers retreat, because they picture the glacier stopping, turning around, and moving in the opposite direction. Substitution of the word "melt" for "retreat" helps reinforce the correct interpretation that the front end of the glacier simply melts faster than the ice advances.
- Factual Misconceptions
Factual misconceptions are falsities often learned at an early age and retained unchallenged into adulthood. If you think about it, the idea that "lightning never strikes twice in the same place" is clearly nonsense, but that notion may be buried somewhere in your belief system.
How to Break Down Misconceptions
Although vernacular and factual misconceptions can often be easily corrected, even by the students themselves, it is not effective for a teacher simply to insist that the learner dismiss preconceived notions and ingrained nonscientific beliefs. Recent research on students' conceptual misunderstandings of natural phenomena indicates that new concepts cannot be learned if alternative models that explain a phenomenon already exist in the learner's mind. Although scientists commonly view such erroneous models with disdain, they are often preferred by the learner because they seem more reasonable and perhaps are more useful for the learner's purpose (Mayer, 1987). These beliefs can persist as lingering suspicions in a student's mind and can hinder further learning (McDermott, 1991).
Before embracing the concepts held to be correct by the scientific community, students must confront their own beliefs along with their associated paradoxes and limitations, and then attempt to reconstruct the knowledge necessary to understand the scientific model being presented. This process requires that the teacher:
- Identify students' misconceptions.
- Provide a forum for students to confront their misconceptions.
- Help students reconstruct and internalize their knowledge, based on scientific models.
Identifying Misconceptions
Before misconceptions can be corrected, they need to be identified. Many researchers and teachers have compiled lists of commonly encountered misconceptions. A number of professional societies have developed conceptual tests which allow you to identify students' misconceptions. Additionally, small group discussions and office hours provide effective forums for identifying student misconceptions. With practice and effort, a teacher can learn to probe a student's conceptual framework (often by simply listening) without resorting to authority or embarrassing the student. Mazur has found a way to help students check their conceptual frameworks even within the large lecture format. Hake (1992) has used introductory laboratory exercises to help students test their conceptual bases for understanding motion. Essay assignments that ask students to explain their reasoning are useful for detecting students' misconceptions. These essays and discussions need not be used for grading, but rather can be used as part of the learning process to find out what and how your students are thinking.
Misconceptions can occur in students' understanding of scientific methods as well as in their organization of scientific knowledge. For example, students in a science class will often express disappointment that an experiment did not work. They do not fully understand that experiments are a means of testing ideas and hypotheses, not of arriving at an expected result. To the scientist, an experiment yields a result which needs to be interpreted. In that sense, each experiment "works," but it may not work as expected.
Helping Students Confront Their Misconceptions
It is useful to review and think about possible misconceptions before teaching a class or laboratory in which new material is introduced. Use questions and discussion to probe for additional misconceptions. Students will often surprise you with the variety of their preconceptions, so be careful to listen closely to their answers and explanations. You can help students by asking them to give evidence to support their explanations and by revisiting difficult or misunderstood concepts after a few days or weeks. Misconceptions are often deeply held, largely unexplained, and sometimes strongly defended. To be effective, a science teacher should not underestimate the importance and the persistence of these barriers to true understanding. Confronting them is difficult for the student and the teacher.
Some misconceptions can be uncovered by asking students to sketch or describe some object or phenomenon. For example, one might ask students to sketch an atom before doing so on the board. Even students who have a strong high school background might show a small nucleus surrounded by many electrons circling in discrete orbital paths, much like the solar system. By asking students to draw their own model first and then share their answers with the class, a teacher can identify preexisting models and use them to show the need for new models.
Helping Students Overcome Their Misconceptions
Strategies for helping students to overcome their misconceptions are based on research about how we learn (Arons, 1990; Minstrell, 1989). The key to success is ensuring that students are constructing or reconstructing a correct framework for their new knowledge.
Helping students to reconstruct their conceptual framework is a difficult task, and it necessarily takes time away from other activities in a science course. However, if you decide to make the effort to help students overcome their misconceptions, you might try the following methods:
- Anticipate the most common misconceptions about the material and be alert for others.
- Encourage students to test their conceptual frameworks in discussion with other students and by thinking about the evidence and possible tests.
- Think about how to address common misconceptions with demonstrations and lab work.
- Revisit common misconceptions as often as you can.
- Assess and reassess the validity of student concepts.

At the Paris Motor Show, Ford officially announced details on its hotly anticipated all-new Focus. The 2012 Focus lineup will initially be composed of three models: a sedan, five-door hatchback, and wagon (not destined for the United States). Later, a Focus-based MPV, the C-Max, will reach the U.S., with a possibly sport-ute derivative on the way as well. Being unveiled in Paris for the first time is the Focus ST, a successor to the much-loved, SVT-tuned Focus hatchback.Source: Motor Trend

This match is probably Citeh's only realistic chance of any silverware this season, therefore I expect Mancini to field a very strong line-up in the 1st leg.My prediction is 3-1 Citeh, Bellamy, Robinho and Ireland for Citeh, and a consolation goal for United through Rooney.
My prediction is that it will be 0-0 as the match is called off.
Yeh, because of adverse travelling conditions. MIA could be closed (it is today) and M1/M40/M6 slow going - get them in before the ABUs do!

My wife and I spend our anniversary at the Mary Penn B&B over the Halloween weekend. The house is in a very relaxing environment. The creek flowed just outside the house which is good drive into the farm, so no outside noises were heard. Deer were seen out in the fields in the morning. Other wildlife is readily seen also, such as hawks and the occasional eagle. But the best part of the experience was meeting the owners Bea and David. They made you feel at home. If you visit Mary Penn, you must sit down with them and talk about the history of the house and of their family history in the area. We plan to return with our friends for a relaxing visit. Ellie and Dave

Every so often you are drawn to a place that has a special meaning. For us this is the spot. Not only is their home spotless, comfortable, and full of history but the hostess, Bea, is a treasure in her own right! From the moment we entered the front door and learned the history of the Mary-Penn it was clear this was not just a place to lay your head but a place to call home. Recommend it highly! Tom and Brenda, Irwin,PA

Bea and David will take great care of you at the MaryPenn. Part of Inn is in PA, the other in MD, but this Inn is all together a treat. When you arrive Bea will give you a history of the Inn and then treat you to wine and a cheese plat to be enjoyed when you like. There is a beautiful stream right by the Inn, where you can enjoy these treats and solitude. Breakfast was great along with the company of Bea and David. If you like beautiful settings, the quiet, and great hospitality. Gayl and Kurt

My dad and I took a father-son trip to Gettysburg. We absolutely loved the Mary-Penn B&B. First of all, it is extremely cool how historic the building is. It's a farmhouse built in 1740 with the second floor put on using bricks thrown off as ballast in Baltimore Harbor in 1793. It's in an absolutely lovely setting (surrounded by 900 acres of farm) away from the tourist hustle and bustle. Bea and David are extremely nice and were wonderful hosts to us. (David even drove us to see an original marker laid by Mason and Dixon in the 1700s not far from the property. The breakfasts were huge and delicious (and this is coming from a big eater). We stayed in the William Penn room which was really nice and great for us because there was an annex with a twin bed that I slept in. I was a little concerned the inn would be too far out of town, but it's not. It's close and the setting is so lovely and private it's worth the extra short drive. (Also, downtown Gettysburg is a little overrun with fudge shops and haunted tours for my tastes.)

We had a great stay.We were treated like family the minute we walked into the door.Its the personality of Bea and her family that takes this B&B to the top of my list.All the rooms were perfect and there is a room for every different need. The grounds are amazing and the breakfast was to die for.Thank You Bea,David,&Aubre We will come again, George Hoffman

We have been to many B&Bs ,all over the east coast...this is by far the best,in every aspect! We consider the owners part of our extended family as of this stay :) Bea is a phenomenal hostess,and her family is just as awesome! Was discussing return plans upon leaving ! I highly recommend this location! So serene and peaceful.And yummy too.

We were in the area for a wedding at The Links at Gettysburg. We were looking for a quiet, out-of-the-way place to stay. We found it! About a mile off the main road up a dirt road sat this beautiful, old, fully restored home. Bea greeted us as we pulled up like we were old friends there for a visit. It was the first time we met! She gave us a tour of the house and explained all the history behind it. The place is immaculate and was like going back in time. The next morning I took my cup of coffee outside and sat by the creek. A perfect setting! Bea made us breakfast and Dave joined us for what felt like a family gathering. My wife and I can't say enough good things about this B & B or our hosts! Thank you so much and we'll be seeing you again. Bob & Kim Graffin. New Freedom, PA.

Discovering Differentiation: Strategies for Success in the Language Arts Classroom
Do you feel that it's becoming more difficult to meet the needs of all the levels of learners in your classroom? More and more, teachers need to adapt lesson plans to meet the different learning styles of each child. Some students are visual learners, while others might be auditory, for example. Discovering Differentiation offers teachers concrete ways to meet individual students' needs by supplying lesson plans for auditory, visual, musical, linguistic and bodily kinesthetic learners.
This book offers a variety of lessons on crucial language arts elements such as writing, reading, speaking, listening, vocabulary and grammar. Some of these lessons emphasize student choice, while others leave it for the teacher to decide what work is appropriate for the student. Discovering Differentiation is the perfect choice for teachers who do not want to reinvent the wheel, but want to learn to differentiate by using concrete lessons.

Police: Mother reported abuse in indecent liberties case
Published: Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 11:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 11:39 p.m.
Authorities said a Pisgah Forest man charged with taking indecent liberties with a 3-year-old girl faced similar charges in the 1980s.
Those charges were voluntarily dismissed by the District Attorney's Office, said Transylvania County Sheriff's Office Detective Jeremy Queen, who could not recall the exact details of the case.
Bobby Darrell Hoxit Sr., 61, of 200 Charlet's Knob Road, Pisgah Forest has been charged with 10 counts of taking indecent liberties with the minor. The incidents occurred between Feb. 2 and Nov. 25, 2011, according to arrest warrants.
Queen said the victim's mother filed a report with the Sheriff's Office after the victim complained to her.
Queen also said the incidents occurred at Hoxit's home.
Police are not aware of any other victims, and no further charges are expected.
Hoxit is being held under a $200,000 secured bond. He appeared in court Monday and waived his right to a public defender, indicating that he would be hiring his own attorney.
He is scheduled to appear in court again March 8.

Polls show that the vast majority of Americans do not want armed drones circling their own neighborhoods. Who could blame us for not wanting to be taken out by a killing machine operated by someone hunkered down thousands of miles away? Then again, maybe we haven't given the precision and efficiency of drones enough thought.
According to Pir Zubair Shah, a former New York Times reporter now at the Council on Foreign Relations, a tribal leader living in Pakistan's South Waziristan told him he'd rather have a drone destroy one room of his house than have a bomb or artillery strike demolish his whole village. From his experience, drones are the lesser of two or three evils.
Targeted killings by armed drones have become part of the U.S. counter-terrorism strategy. Though the war against Al Qaeda has been used to justify the use of drones, targeted killings lack a firm legal and ethical grounding in U.S. and international law. Nevertheless, their use by the United States is setting an important precedent, which should be getting more attention than it is.
Some have suggested that drones provide a great tactical advantage without really changing the ethical calculus of warfare. After all, they argue,...

BeOS Journal - Optimized for Net Positive
Note: This article was written on April Fool's Day, April 1, 2008.
You will all be happy to know that your browsing experience here at BeOS Journal will be vastly improved by day's end. I am currently optimizing the site for NetPositive, and will be stripping it of all CSS in order to be NetPositive friendly.
I am most excited that I am now able to devote my attention to languages such as BeBRexx, BeProlog/BinProlog, BeScript, betcl, BForth, and BeSqueak. I feel like I can do great things with these tools, and I hope you will check back to see the results.
I found some very useful information about developing for BeOS HERE.

Why optimize for net+ when Seamonkey, Firefox, Opera (3.62) and other browsers like Themis (if you know where to get it) are available for BeOS.
Who is the BeOS Refugee?
At least one person on staff is a former BeOS enthusiast.
Maybe all of us?

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

There are no guarantees the Dunedin City Council's alleged
$1.5 million vehicle fraud will not be the only issue

chief executive Dr Sue Bidrose warns.
Dunedin city councillors are remaining tight-lipped about the
alleged Citifleet fraud.
A health professional has admitted fraudulently claiming
$66,455 in client fees during a three and a-half-year period.

While Voter ID advocates rail against voter fraud and Voter ID foes warn of certain voter disenfranchisement, the rest of us are left to endure the faux crisis visited upon the sanctity of the ballot and the ballot box.
Whether Texas' law passed by the Republican-dominated Legislature this summer requiring voters to present photo identification to cast a ballot goes into effect depends on whether the U.S. Department of Justice gives its OK, which is required under the Voting Rights Act. And the DOJ appears more sympathetic to foes of the law than advocates.
Regardless of which way the DOJ goes, the matter will likely be appealed by the losing side — which means in addition to enduring the shrill partisan battle over a matter we're not all that sure is worthy of waging, Texas taxpayers will pick up the tab for the ensuing courtroom showdowns.
Here far away from the frontline of this incivil tussle, it's not all that clear Texas needs to require all voters present photo IDs to counter fraud, but it's also not clear the new law requiring it is as onerous as foes claim it to be.
Aside from stories of Lyndon Johnson's having been the beneficiary in one case of ballot-box stuffing and the victim in another, the evidence of voter fraud in the Lone Star State is more the stuff of rumors and innuendo than credible evidence.
And claims the law is designed to suppress votes by targeting those least likely to have photo IDs — the poor, the elderly and Hispanics — is difficult to reconcile in a time when such identification is as common as cell phones and, in fact, required for a variety of day-to-day activities.
The DOJ said in mid-November it couldn't say yea or nay on the law because the state didn't provide the racial breakdown and counties of residence of the estimated 605,576 registered voters the state says do not have a state-issued license or ID. They also want to know how many of those have Spanish surnames.
Since Texas doesn't ask those registering to vote to declare their race — or, for that matter, economic status — the DOJ may never get the information it says it needs to render a decision.
Based on the data already sent to the DOJ, more than 95 percent of Texas' 13.3 million registered voters have a state-issued license or ID. The law in question provides those without an acceptable photo ID may obtain one at no charge.
In April 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled by a 6-3 margin in favor of a 2005 Indiana law requiring voters to prove their identity with photo identification. In the opinion, Justice John Paul Stevens said the law is allowable as the state has a "valid interest in protecting 'the integrity and reliability of the electoral process.'"
"This is only a burden for those who want to vote more than once," Brian C. Bosma, a Republican who was speaker of the Indiana House when the law was enacted, told The New York Times after the high court ruling. "It protects everyone."
Two studies on the impact of the photo ID requirement on Indiana voter turnout showed no effect on turnout in areas of high concentrations of minorities, poor or elderly.
But, as noted by the U.S. Supreme Court, neither was there any tangible evidence of voter fraud in Indiana elections prior to the law's passage.
Whether the law stands or falls is likely to have no effect on future elections other than to further inflame the passions of those waging the war. In the long run, this ideological battle is consuming time, money and energy that could be better directed at real and compelling issues facing the state.
