Enzo's Trattoria
Though he's continued to refine his culinary skills for more than 20 years, Chef Enzo's mastery of Italian food was cemented at age 26, when he opened his first restaurant, Tutto Ristorante. Today, using locally sourced ingredients, he pushes his innovation of Italian cuisine even further at Enzo's Trattoria. Instead of supplying signature pastas, he gives diners a choice of 11 noodles—gnocchi, gluten-free penne, and whole-wheat spaghetti among them––and 14 sauces, including vodka sauce and housemade meat sauce.
More housemade elements grace Chef Enzo's grilled paninis, which he fills with housemade sausage and meatballs. His other meaty mains include veal scallopini topped with white-wine tomato pesto sauce and prosciutto and chicken breast sautéed in wild-mushroom blush sauce, named for how embarrassed chefs get seeing mushrooms go wild. Available by the glass and bottle, wines from Australia, Italy, and Canada complement meals, which unfold in a lantern-lit dining area where guests feast beneath brick archways and among painting-lined walls.

begatt precisava de um novo design de logo e criou um concurso na 99designs.
Um vencedor foi selecionado entre 166 designs enviados por 36 designers freelancers.
webMsolutions.com AND webMstrategies.org
webMsolutions is a website marketing and management company providing simple, fast and effective web solutions and strategies based on proven online marketing tools and techniques.
Both domains (webMsolutions and webMstrategies) will initially point to a single domain (webMsoultions.com), but future expansion into distinctive services and markets may provide opportunities for 2 different Internet presences.
Existing and future markets include both online and offline small businesses.
A segment of the company does provide services to Christian non-profit entities.
We are looking for a logo that will set the stage for our entire online presence.
We want to maintain a business professional appearance but still have a cutting edge modern feel. We do not want to have too much Web 2.0 influence, however, a small influence will be considered.
With the 2 distinct domains, but very similar word structure and appearance, we believe it should be simple to interchange "solutions" with "strategies".
2 distinct logos ARE NOT REQUIRED. They are optional if the designer wishes to include one for each domain within the stated budget.
No cartoons.
Feel free to experiment with colors!
The files we will need to be scalable and usable for both print and online.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
NOTE: If you believe any of these requirements are beyond the scope of the original design brief or they present any kind of hardship for you, please let us know. We do not wish to cause any difficulties for any designers.
As the contest has progressed, we have been discussing what we would like delivered from the contest winner.
We are looking to also have a distinctive graphic that will serve as branding for the company. It will be used strategically throughout our on-line presence (icons, headers, footers, backgrounds, etc).
We do not use in-house graphic design software other than Gimp at this time. We have had difficulty with PNG files not being layered properly in the past, however, if this can be overcome, we are not opposed to PNG files. Other formats are also acceptable if they can be easily manipulated within Gimp.
We have also decided to create 2 separate organizations webMsolutions.com and webMstrategies.org with the same logo design with variation only in color and distinction with .com verses .org.
We will use the logo primarily on-line, but also for print material (business cards, stationary, brochures, etc). File formats must be provided accordingly.
We are not completely familiar with font licensing requirements, however, we expect the designer to fulfill any font licensing needs, rasterizing, etc. accordingly.
The items we wish to receive include:
- Primary logos for webMsolutions.com and webMstrategies.org
- White (not grey or tan or anything else) background version
- Black (glossy) background version
- White on black
- Black on white
- Reflections version (if appropriate on white and black backgrounds)
- Icons - various options
Again, PLEASE NOTE: If you believe any of these requirements are beyond the scope of the original design brief or they present any kind of hardship, please let us know. We do not wish to cause any difficulties for any designers.
Thank you all for your submissions. We are excited by what has been provided thus far.

Ash 'Greedy' About Working with Different Directors
New Delhi: Aishwarya Rai, currently on a sabbatical after being in the industry for over a decade, says she was happy to have worked with different directors.
"I am glad to have worked with different directors on different roles. I had always been greedy to work with different directors on different characters," Aishwarya said on the television show "India's Glam Diva".
"I enjoy music and dance, a fact that you all by now are familiar and I guess it translates to the work I have produced on celluloid," added the 38-year-old, who is currently busy with her four-month-old daughter.
Aishwarya is participating in the television show "India's Glam Diva" along with other top-notch actresses who are vying to win the title. The winner will be decided on the basis of public voting. Ash's episode will be aired Sunday on Big CBS Love.
The actress made her Bollywood debut with 1997 film "Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya" alongside Bobby Deol. Her big hit came with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" (1999) and there has been no looking back since.
The former Miss World has also made her presence felt in international films like "Pink Panther 2" and "Bride and Prejudice".

Yeah, I would say that making twenty-thousand for being an asshole leaves a "bad taste" in my mouth.
Shit, I could talk about being an asshole eight-hours-a-day for a month for that much money, and I'd still have plenty of material afterward. I'm starting to think Mr. Lehrer isn't the only asshole in this story.

This is a tale of two tops. Since last summer I have admired these beautiful floaty apron tops on women in the streets. I hadn't actually seen one in a retail store which isn't surprising really since I have been avoiding the malls like the plague since last Septembers earthquake. I spied a rtw one in a local boutique at the end of last summer and like all good dressmakers, went over it with a fine tooth comb to see how it was constructed. When I saw a pattern on Trademe for just this top, that was it, I was making one. I chose a beautiful floaty saturn and made it up. Boy was I disappointed. It didn't meet in the middle at the back and I felt like a sack of spuds tied in the middle. I threw it on my sewing table in disgust. It was gone but not forgotten!
Once my frustration had worn off, a couple of months had gone by and I realised that this fabric was too lovely to waste. I decided that a blousey peasant top would look nice in this fabric for spring. Fortunately, I had bought too much fabric for my previous top so had plenty left over to use for Simplicicy 4589, a pattern that had been bought but not yet used.
I extended the sleeves to make a long sleeve version and added 15cm to the length of the top with the intention of adding and elastic waist. After trying the top on however I liked the look of a tunic style as well so just rescued the belt off the disaster top for a variation.

Popular Science Monthly/Volume 21/May 1882/The Tree That Bears Quinine
THE introduction of cinchona-culture into India was commenced in 1862. The rapid destruction of the cinchona-tree in South America, owing to the reckless method of gathering the bark, and the consequent high price of quinine in a country where that drug holds so important a rank, led the Government of India to try the experiment of introducing the tree into the waste mountainous regions of that country. Difficulties almost insurmountable were at first presented in obtaining young plants and seeds from the cinchona regions of the Andes, on account of the obstacles thrown in the way by the different South American governments. Several years passed before a sufficient number of plants could be secured for purposes of experiment.
Experimental gardens were opened on the Nilgiri Mountains of Southern India, the Himalayas on the north of Bengal, the hills of Assam and the Northwest Provinces, and on the highlands of Burmah. With the exception of the Nilgiri and Himalayas, these localities were found to be unfavorable.
At Darjeeling in the Himalayas, four hundred miles north of Calcutta, near which the cinchona-gardens are located, I gathered the following particulars of the introduction and culture of the cinchona-tree, and the manufacture and use of its alkaloids:
1. The soil, climate, and temperature of the cinchona regions of the Andes were carefully noted. Gneiss and mica schist in a somewhat loose and decomposed state, with a covering of vegetable mold, at such an altitude as would secure a moist temperature with the least possible variability, were the observed conditions, and these were sought for in the Himalayas. Gneiss and mica schist compose the prevailing formation throughout the Himalayan range, except its snow-capped summits, which are granite. To find the proper altitude was a more difficult matter. The higher and lower were at first tried, but it was found that an elevation of from four to five thousand feet above the sea-level afforded the most favorable conditions.
The soil is, as far as possible, identical with that of the Andes. The eastern terminus of the Himalayan range, being nearest to the sea, and in the range of the southeast monsoon, which on land is southwest, is constantly shrouded in mist, so much so that the rays of the sun are seldom clear. The eternal snows and glaciers are here not more than fifty miles from the burning plains of Bengal, the highest peak, the second in the world, being more than twenty-eight thousand feet above sea-level. The rain-fall is more than double that of the plains, the last ten years showing an average of one hundred and thirteen inches per year. A remarkably uniform temperature is thus secured, the extremes being 34° and 90°, while the ordinary summer range is between 60° and 70°, and the winter between 45° and 55°.
Several varieties of the cinchona have been tried. Some have failed entirely, while the C. saccirubra and C. salisaya prove the most hardy. The former of these has proved by far the most productive, and is now much more generally cultivated.
2. The seeds ripen at the commencement of the dry season succeeding the rains, i.e., in October and November. After being gathered they are spread out, in shallow boxes to dry. It is estimated that an ounce of seeds may produce from twenty to twenty-five thousand plants. When thoroughly dried they are sown in beds, and when well started the young plants are transferred to nursery beds protected from sun and rain by light thatched roofs. When from eight months to a year old, or about twelve inches high, they are ready to be planted out, the thatch-covering having been removed for a fortnight or so to harden them. Propagation by cuttings is practiced to some extent, and succeeds well. The plants are about six feet apart, and an acre of ground may produce a thousand or more trees.
Where vegetation is so rapid and profuse as in India, constant weeding is necessary, and, until the trees are sufficiently large to shade the ground, one or two weedings a year are highly beneficial. The following may be considered as a fair representation of the rapidity of growth:
At | four | years | of age, | 9 | inches | girth, | 9 | feet | height. |
" | six | " | " | 13 | " | " | 17 | " | " |
" | ten | " | " | 21 | " | " | 30 | " | " |
" | twelve | " | " | 28 | " | " | 39 | " | " |
At first, a very successful method was introduced for securing the bark without injury to the tree. Commencing with trees about eight years old, a strip of bark an inch and a half wide was taken from the trunk, extending from the lower limbs to the roots. Leaving a strip of equal width, an inch and a half, another was taken, and so on quite round the tree, thus removing one half and leaving one half intact. The whole trunk was then covered with moss, carefully bound on, so as to exclude the light and air. In from ten to eighteen months the bark would be found to be completely renewed without detriment to the growth of the tree. The new bark thus formed was found to be thicker and richer in quinine than the natural growth. This process could be repeated at intervals of from a year to a year and a half for an indefinite period. This method is still followed in the Nilgiris, while in the Himalayas it has failed on account of the ants, which penetrate the moss and destroy the exposed wood. In the Himalayas two methods are now practiced. By the first the trees are felled and the bark carefully peeled from the trunk and branches. The stumps are allowed to remain, and from the sprouts that spring up two of the most thrifty are preserved for future trees, while the rest are cut away. This is called coppicing. By the second method the tree is uprooted, and the bark removed from the trunk, branches, and roots. The ground is then replanted with seedlings. Time must show which of these methods will prove the most profitable.
The bark, on being removed from the trees, is placed in open sheds near at hand to dry, that the first process of drying may be in the open air and in the shade. When dried as much as possible without artificial heat it is carried to the dry-house, a close brick building, where the process is completed with the aid of slow charcoal-fires. The drying is thus accomplished, at the lowest possible temperature, without detriment to its chemical qualities. After this it may be stored without danger of deterioration.
3. The medicinal alkaloids contained in the bark are quinine, cinchonidine, quinidine, and cinchonine. Quinine has long been regarded as by far the most important of these, being the great specific for malarious fevers. The price of bark in the market has consequently varied with the amount of quinine it was found to contain, with very little reference to the other alkaloids. Careful experiments have shown that all these alkaloids possess a very high medicinal value, but little if at all inferior to quinine.
Malarious fevers, prevailing so extensively throughout India, and especially among the lower classes, the high price of quinine has rendered it absolutely prohibitory to the masses. Consequently, the Government has turned its attention to the production of an article that should contain, as far as possible, all the febrifuge qualities of quinine, at a rate so moderate as to come within the reach of all. This benevolent object has been fairly reached in the production of what is known as amorphous quinine, or cinchona alkaloid, which sells at about fifty cents per ounce, while quinine is held at from three to five dollars per ounce. The products of the government cinchona-gardens are largely employed in the manufacture of this drug.
The method of preparation is extremely simple. The bark, roughly pulverized, is macerated in cold water acidulated with sulphuric acid, until its properties are quite exhausted. Its resulting liquor is precipitated by a caustic alkali potash. The precipitate is then dried, pulverized, and sealed in tin boxes of a pound each. The powder is of a dull whitish color, very light, almost insoluble in water, but dissolves readily in acidulated water. At the time of issuing the last report, one hundred and forty thousand ounces of this febrifuge were being produced from the Himalaya gardens.
4. At an early period extensive experiments were instituted to ascertain the relative curative value of the different alkaloids. One commission, consisting of sixteen prominent medical officers, reported as follows:
Treated | by | cinchonine, | 410 | cases | Cured | 400, | failed | 10. |
" | " | cinchonidine, | 359 | " | " | 346, | " | 13. |
" | " | quinidine, | 376 | " | " | 365, | " | 11. |
The experiment was then varied, in which the alkaloids were pitted against quinine. The number of fever-cases treated was 2,472, with 2,445 cures and 27 failures. The ratio of failure per 1,000 was as follows:
Treated | by | quinine | ratio of failure | 7·092 |
" | " | quinidine, | "" | 5·024 |
" | " | cinchonidine | "" | 9·926 |
" | " | cinchonine | "" | 23·255 |
These results, corroborated as they are by many subsequent experiments, in various parts of India, conclusively show that all the alkaloids of cinchona possess a nearly equal curative value, and hence the conclusion is that all combined possess a value very little if at all inferior to quinine. The doses are about the same. Cinchona alkaloid is now largely used throughout the country, with a proportionate reduction in the demand for quinine.

What is the most important information I should know about telithromycin (Ketek)?
Telithromycin may cause sudden and serious liver damage. In rare cases, liver failure can develop and may cause death. Stop using the medication and call your doctor right away if you have nausea, stomach pain, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
You should not take telithromycin if you have a muscle disorder called myasthenia gravis, if you are taking cisapride (Propulsid) or pimozide (Orap), or if you have kidney or liver disease AND you are also taking colchicine (Colcrys).
Do not take this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction or liver problems caused by telithromycin or similar antibiotics such as erythromycin (E.E.S., Ery-Tab, Erythrocin, EryPed, Pediazole), azithromycin (Zithromax), clarithromycin (Biaxin), troleandomycin (TAO), or dirithromycin (Dynabac).
Take this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Telithromycin will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Shares of Electronic Arts Inc. climbed Monday evening after the videogame publisher said its chief executive is stepping down.
EA also warned it may miss its quarterly financial forecasts.
Shares of EA EA, +0.42% whose game titles include the "Crysis" and "Battlefield" series, recently rose 2.6% to $19.20, and had jumped by more than 7%.
Chief Executive John Riccitiello will step down, effective March 30. He returned to EA in 2007 to serve in the company's top post.
The move comes as the company faces another period of weaker sales. It warned that revenue and per-share earnings for the current fiscal fourth quarter "will be at the low end of, or slightly below previously issued guidance" from its last earnings report on Jan. 30.
Full results for the current period will be reported on May 7. While EA searches for a permanent CEO, the board named previous CEO Larry Probst as executive chairman to lead the company.
During the regular session, U.S. stocks fell following a euro-zone proposal to tax bank deposits in Cyprus to reduce the cost of a bailout plan. It's the first time depositors have been asked to contribute to a financial-rescue plan during the long-running euro-zone debt crisis.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.34% fell 62 points, or 0.4%, to 14,452.06. The S&P 500 index SPX, +0.30% fell 0.6% to 1,552.10 and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.27% lost 0.4% at 3,237.59.

As the title implies, what ever happened to Loggy Bayou tree stands. They had a great super light backpackable ladder stand. Does anyone know?
There was a thread on here a year or two ago that they were going to re-open the business, but I have not heard anything since then.
From what I understand when they went out of business, Muddy bough their patents and based alot of thier designs off of it.
I used to have a couple of their hang ons, about twenty years ago, too bad cuz they were nice stands
Everything Muddy makes is practically identical to loggy. I have been wondering too if Muddy had just bought them out or something
Did they buy them out and double the price ?
There was a member on here with a handle like loggybayouboy or something that said they were supposed to come back a while ago. I think his parents owned the company. Maybe do a search and shoot him a pm?
They have closed the doors and been sold and reopened at least once that I know of. Sub par workmanship for a while really hurt them. There were artilces in a few outdoor magazines about 5 or 6 years ago about how they were trying to turn things around.I think it was to late and low sales finally forced them to close the doors.
I think they are out of business. I have several older Loggy's and a newer Stalker XL that is a great stand. I like a stand with the seat attached to the stand and the openess of a Loggy. When I find one on craigslist for 50 bucks or so i buy them.
The older I get the better I was.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- U.S. stocks were poised for a choppy open Thursday, as optimism from Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's comments is countered by nervousness by the latest jobs report and a weak Italian bond auction.
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU), S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq (COMP) futures were slightly lower. Stock futures indicate the possible direction of the markets when they open at 9:30 a.m. ET.
"It's presumably a reflection of the turnaround that we've seen in Europe this morning," said Brian Barry, analyst for Investec Bank in London.
Barry said that markets on both sides of the Atlantic lost their enthusiasm following an Italian auction of short-term bills.
The Italian government auctioned €8.5 billion worth of 6-month notes at a yield of 1.77%. That's 60 basis points higher than last month's auction, signaling weaker demand since yields and prices move in opposite direction. The yield on Italian 10-year bonds has been hovering around 6% for the past week or so.
Meanwhile, investors were underwhelmed by a glimpse at the strength of the job market, which showed that the number of Americans filing for unemployment dipped slightly but missed expectations.
Companies continue to release quarterly results, with a number of heavy hitters reporting first-quarter data before the opening bell, including Pepsi (PEP, Fortune 500), Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500) and UPS (UPS, Fortune 500). Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500) and Starbucks (SBUX, Fortune 500) will release results after the market closes.
U.S. stocks finished higher Wednesday on news that the Federal Reserve boosted its economic growth projection and improved its outlook. A jump in Boeing (BA, Fortune 500) shares pushed up the Dow, while Apple's (AAPL, Fortune 500) earnings propelled the Nasdaq and S&P.
World markets: European stocks were mixed in afternoon trading. Britain's FTSE 100 (UKX) was flat, while the DAX (DAX) in Germany slid 0.4% and France's CAC 40 (CAC40) fell 0.9%.
Asian markets ended mixed. The Shanghai Composite (SHCOMP) finished slightly in the red, while the Hang Seng (HSI) in Hong Kong added 0.8% and Japan's Nikkei (N225) ended just above breakeven.
Economy: The number of people filing for first-time unemployment benefits dipped 1,000 to 388,000 in the most recent week, according to the Labor Department's weekly initial claims report.
The jobless claims number fell to four-year lows a few months ago, but has been climbing recently. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had expected the report to show that 365,000 people filed for their first week of jobless claims last week, down from 386,000 the week before.
On tap for later Thursday is the monthly report on pending home sales, which is scheduled for release at 10 a.m. ET. Pending home sales are expected to have risen 0.5% in March, according to a consensus of analysts surveyed by Briefing.com.
Companies: Shares of Exxon Mobil fell more than 1% in premarket trading after the company reported a decline in profit.
Exxon Mobil reported earnings of $2 per share, below expectations of $2.09. The nation's No. 1 oil company generated $9.45 billion in profits the quarter, compared to $10.65 billion a year earlier. In anticipation of its profits, the oil industry went on the offensive, saying that 1 in 10 U.S. jobs created in 2011 were from Big Oil.
Shares of H&R Block (HRB) plunged in premarket trading, a day after the tax preparer said that it would cut 350 full-time jobs nationwide and close 200 "underperforming" offices. The move should save H&R Block between $85 million to $100 million annually by the end of fiscal year 2013.
Pepsi's stock edged higher after the company reported earnings of 69 cents per share and net revenue of more than $12.4 billion, beating expectations.
UPS is expected to post earnings of $1.02 per share on $13.2 billion in revenue.
Amazon and Starbucks will release their earnings after the bell. Analysts predict Amazon will post earnings of 7 cents a share, an 84% drop from a year earlier, on revenue of $12.9 billion. Meanwhile, Starbucks is expected to report earnings of 39 cents per share on revenue of $3.1 billion.
Currencies and commodities: The dollar lost strength against the euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound.
Oil for June delivery slipped 11 cents to $104.01 a barrel.
Gold futures for June delivery rose $8.40 to $1,650.70 an ounce.
Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury rose, pushing the yield down slightly to 1.97% from 1.98% late Wednesday.

Alternative Title:
municipal government
Learn about this topic in these articles:
constitutional law
No modern country can be governed from a single location only. The affairs of municipalities and rural areas must be left to the administration of
local governments. Accordingly, all countries have at least two levels of government: central and local. A number of countries also contain a third level of government, which is responsible for the interests of more or less large regions.
function and structure in
The government structure of the states, defined by the constitution, closely resembles that of the union. The executive branch is composed of a governor—like the president, a mostly nominal and ceremonial post—and a council of ministers, led by the chief minister.
Local government is allocated to the
kommuner (municipalities), each with an elected assembly and the right to levy income taxes and to charge fees for various services. Municipalities have a strong independent position. Streets, sewerage, water supply, schools, public assistance, child welfare, housing, and care for elderly people are among their...
United Kingdom
Each part of the United Kingdom has a distinct system of
local government. Local governments have very few legislative powers and must act within the framework of laws passed by the...
United States
Because the U.S. Constitution establishes a federal system, the state governments enjoy extensive authority. The Constitution outlines the specific powers granted to the national government and reserves the remainder to the states. However, because of ambiguity in the Constitution and disparate historical interpretations by the federal courts, the powers actually exercised by the states have...
Washington, D.C.
Washington's governmental structure has slowly evolved into a limited form of self-government under the control of Congress. The city government is unique because Article I of the Constitution of the United States of America empowers Congress to exercise exclusive legislative authority over the seat of government. Congress granted Washington its first city government in 1802, providing for a...
The city's law enforcement is handled by several agencies, each with its own jurisdiction. The Metropolitan Police Department enforces the laws and ordinances of the municipal government. The Capitol Police Force provides security for the Capitol and its grounds, and White House Security protects the president and the White House and its grounds.
history of Russia
The reforms of
local government carried out by Catherine also contained contradictions. The successors of Peter I had not solved the problem of local administration. St. Petersburg relied on appointed officials, too few in number and much given to abuse and corruption, and on the informal control exercised by individual landowners and village communes. However, a great peasant rebellion led by...
public opinion
Public opinion seems to be much more effective in influencing policy making at the local level than at the state or national levels. One reason for this is that issues of concern to
local governments—such as the condition of roads, schools, and hospitals—are less complex than those dealt with by governments at higher levels; another is that at the local level there are fewer...

...and aeration tanks, filters, septic tanks, desalination plants, and incinerators; and waste disposal facilities such as sanitary landfills and secure hazardous-waste storage impoundments. These municipal works serve two important purposes: they protect human health and safeguard environmental quality.

funding of roads
Thus, through the 19th century most road building was administered and financed on a local basis. British road building remained entirely local despite clear evidence that local responsibility was not providing adequate roads. The national government edged into the picture only through increased pressure from the cyclists, climaxed by the establishment in 1909 of a national Road Board...

Top Definition
During the Vietnam War, they were giant tanks that drove around the jungle. Using coconuts as ammunition. The term "Gorilla Tank" comes from the fact that many gorillas would grab onto these tanks as they drove by. The reason for this was that these tanks can reach speed of up to 120mph, and these gorillas love it. As a defense mechanism, these tanks could stop suddenly, forcing the gorillas off and to hit any target ahead of them.

Politico's Dylan Byers created a minor dust-up in the twitterverse today when he posted an article that appeared to take a shot at the New York Times' Nate Silver's prognosticating skills. Byers writes, "Prediction is the name of Silver's game, the basis for his celebrity. So should Mitt Romney win on Nov. 6, it's difficult to see how people can continue to put faith in the predictions of someone who has never given that candidate anything higher than a 41 percent chance of winning (way back on June 2) and — one week from the election — gives him a one-in-four chance, even as the polls have him almost neck-and-neck with the incumbent." Byers' article almost immediately created pushback from others who pointed out that the win probability is not the same as projecting a popular vote percentage.
That distinction is likely lost on many Romney supporters who have been criticizing Silver's forecast for some time now. But while Silver's highly publicized work has attracted many Republicans' ire, it is important to realize that several political scientists have developed their own state-based forecast models that are every bit as good as Silver's and have the added virtue of being completely transparent and which have been vetted by other political scientists. Those models are, as of today, also forecasting an Obama Electoral College victory.
In my last post I discussed one such model – the one developed by Emory political scientist Drew Linzer and featured at his Votamatic website. As of today, Linzer's state-based polling model continues to forecast an Electoral College victory for Obama with 332 Electoral College votes to Romney's 206. I've discussed some of the assumptions built into Drew's model in a previous post.
Today I want to discuss a second state-based forecast model created by political scientists Tom Holbrook and Jay DeSart. Their model is even simpler and more parsimonious than Drew's. Essentially, they look at three variables: the average Democratic vote share in all trial-heat polls in the field during October, the average Democratic share of the two-party support in national polls taken in the October prior to the election, and the average Democratic two-party state vote share in the four previous presidential elections. Like Drew's model, then, they are incorporating both a long-term factor – the previous state-level election results that provide a window into a state's ideological leanings – and short-term factors captured by the October state-level polls during the current election year together with the candidate's standing in the national polls.
In 2008, the model successfully called all but 3 states: Missouri, North Carolina and Indiana. (It's not clear to me what they did for the split vote in Nebraska.) This prediction isn't quite in Sam Wang territory (Sam nailed everything but Nebraska, as I recall), but it's not too shabby either.
For those of you interested in playing at home, here's the equation for their 2012 forecast model:
VOTEi = -29.454 + .575(POLL)i + 0.57(PRIOR VOTE)i + .44(NATIONAL POLL).
As of today that model is also projecting an Obama Electoral College victory, but by a closer margin, 281-257, than the Votamatic projection. Despite the closer Electoral College projection, they still estimate that Obama's win probability is more than 86%. Here are the current state-by-state projections:

Note that according to these win probabilities, it is more likely that Obama would "win back" Virginia, Florida or Colorado than it is that Mitt can take Ohio. Indeed, those are the three states that Drew currently has in Obama's column. That's a total of 51 Electoral College votes in those three states alone, and it is the difference between Obama winning 281 Electoral College votes versus 332. So clearly these forecasts are amenable to change, even with the dwindling number of undecideds. Given the close nature of the race, several states can tip in either direction. However, both models suggest that, based on current state polling, Romney has a bigger hurdle ahead of him if he is going to pull this out.
I want to stress that these models use the latest polling in each state to project the winner. As such, they tend to be more accurate than the structural forecast models political scientists issue by Labor Day based on the "fundamentals" that I've discussed in several previous posts. The drawback, of course, is that these state-based models don't help us understand why people are voting for a particular candidate. In effect, they use current support to predict future support. That works well if all one is interested in is predicting the election outcome, but they aren't very theoretically satisfying.
Note that both the Linzer and the Holbrook-DeSart models are premised on the assumption that state-based polls this late in the year are generally accurate. Is that a safe premise? In fact, as John Sides discusses here citing research by Robert Ericksen and Christopher Wezlien, they are. As this graph shows, the share of the Democratic vote based on polls in the last week of the election closely aligns to the actual vote percentage received by the Democratic candidate in the period 1952-2008. (If the alignment was perfect, the data points would fall directly on the diagonal line.)
So, using conceptually simple (and transparent!) methods, political scientists still see this race as Obama's to lose. This does not mean, however, that this election is over. The key – and as yet unanswered – question is whether Mitt can, through a combination of winning over undecided voters and gaining a turnout advantage, rope in the 1-2% more support he needs to flip Ohio, or some other combination of swing states. Your answer to that question may depend on whether you think there continues to be movement toward Romney, however slight, during these last eight days. If there is, both models should pick this up, and adjust their projections accordingly. If there is not, however, and this race has entered a stable equilibrium, the odds seem to be in Obama's favor.

Problems Have Solutions
"What is one goal you would like to accomplish in your lifetime?"
This was a question I posed to the student body of a self contained high school class at Child's Way Charter School. It soon became apparent that many of the students were unable to give a goal that they would like to accomplish in their future.
I stepped out and shared with them a modest goal of my own, being able to solve a Rubik's Cube. I had been attempting to reach this goal - to solve it on my own - since I had discovered the cube in fourth grade. My strategies to solve the cube, so far, had yielded no success and had rather transformed my goal into a persistent problem.
I explained my thought process for how to solve the cube to the students and allowed them to critique my strategy, my "system", to solve my problem. It soon became apparent that I was attempting to solve a problem repeatedly by myself with no innovation or help, only my belief that more work would yield success. The problem was that I did not know what I was doing. I was working on the problem intensely, but only solving one or two sides at best. I was working, but not really doing anything but spinning my wheels, and telling myself I was making progress. I had neglected to evaluate my own process.
Some of the students took on my goal for themselves and made the independent choice to use their hour of "Tinker Time" to explore alternative options to solving the problem - solving a Rubik's Cube.
Let me back track for one moment...Tinker Time is an hour set aside for students' self exploration in an area of independent study. It is time for them to tinker, learn, discover... with no pressure. It's taking time, for time sake, to understand what it is you want to understand.
Two students immediately went to the the Rubik's Cube website and printed off the prescribed solutions to solving the cube. Stage 1: definitions of the Rubik's cube pieces...Stage 2: holding the cube, making the white cross...Stage 3: solving the white corners...
Within a week, both of the students had committed the process to memory and were able to solve the cube within minutes. Others saw them demonstrating their new found talent and would exclaim,
"You guys are geniuses!"
This opened the door to have a different discussion on labels and how this one - being geniuses - often gets prescribed where it simply does not belong. I reminded the students about the article that we had read, "The Truth About Grit".
We discussed that what they are witnessing when they watch the students solve the cube, or play a piece of music, or read a story that was written with passion and truth is the finished product - the zenith - of all those hours of thought, work, & perseverance.
So, here I was with two colleagues, 20 years younger than I, who had taken my pontification of what is needed to solve problems to heart. We pulled out the main components about how they were able to accomplish this - those components being time, commitment, willingness to seek out those with proven solutions, and then, the final phase, putting it to the test.
Within a week another student wanted to utilize the Lego "Mindstorms" kit, to construct a "Tilted Twister", he had seen on the Internet. It was a machine that appeared to solve the Rubik's Cube using logarithms.
"Sure", I told him, "it is your time, make it happen."
I observed as the student built a team to help accomplish their new goal. One student pulled the instructions off the Lego website and began to build accordingly. Soon, the programming needed to be tackled and another student downloaded the software that would be needed to calculate the logarithms.
There I was, still not able to solve the cube, but witnessing what can happen when I, as an educator let go of control and allow the students to have the freedom to discover the solutions for themselves.
During the construction and software downloading & trouble shooting phases there were times of frustration and doubt. This allowed us as a learning community to embrace these frustrations, as part of the process, and to calm down and enjoy the ride.
They became comfortable with setbacks and began to view them as opportunities to seek out solutions individually and as part of team. Soon they had constructed the machine and began programming it manually to make its first move then a second...
Not long after they had committed to this goal - to build a machine to solve the cube, they experienced success! In the small world of our classroom, through goal setting, collaboration, trial and error, they learned a life lesson. Problems have solutions.
This is not about the cube. This is about having the freedom to know what it is you would like to accomplish in this life. This is about the systems you find yourself in, that allow or do not allow you to seek solutions to the goals you have set for yourself. Freedom, choice, fun, opportunity... The internet has allowed us to seek like minded individuals & resources to aid and direct us in accomplishing what it is we want to learn, build, become ... this is about learning how to learn. This was an educator letting go of control. I stepped out of the way, and allotted time to allow students to step up and take on the accountability of finding solutions to problems. It was and is about being able to understand, evaluate, and becoming comfortable with the process, to truly see that goals can be achieved.
So now, what do you want to do?
Discussions About This Resource
What we don't do but also what we do...
Travis, I really appreciate this piece. Thank you.
One of the things I appreciate is that you show the 'balance' that teachers need to walk between getting out of the way and showing the way. Your reflection about needing to give up control is wise and one of the most common things I hear from colleagues as they make their way into a different type of teaching. ('Exacerbated control tendencies' is definitely an occupational hazard of teaching.) But one of the things I like best about this piece is that you also show what you DO do. (Yes, I know how that sounds when we say it aloud.)
You get out of the way, but you also show the way. You model having learning goals, pursuing them with persistence, taking failure as part of the learning process as it is, seeking ways to find information, mentors, etc. I think the way you make your own learning visible contributes as much as the release of control and is the corollary of how we write with our students and make ourselves visible as writers. So there's double wisdom here.

Nuclear Power After Fukishima
A one-year anniversary special examining the future of nuclear power after the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan. Among many stories, Alex Chadwick conducts an exclusive interview with an American nuclear technician who was working inside the Daiichi plant when the earthquake and tsunami struck. You will also hear tape recordings from inside the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Emergency Operations Center, as it struggled to shape America's response to the Fukushima disaster. Chadwick speaks with PBS Newshour's Miles O'Brien, just back from Japan, about recovery efforts. Chadwick also profiles Greg Hardy, a Los Angeles-based engineer who has spent much of his career examining the vulnerability of nuclear plants to earthquakes. And you'll hear a story about the next generation of nuclear reactors, so small they can fit on flatbed trucks.

Top tips for TMT lawyers in the downturn
Key commercial issues
Review payment terms
For suppliers, it is vital that contractual payment terms are clear and require prompt payment. Existing and standard form contracts should be reviewed to ensure they contain robust payment provisions clearly stating what is payable and when, and the remedies for late payment.
Adjust the structure of payment terms to minimise risk. If the financial status of the customer is in doubt, consider requiring shorter payment terms, more frequent payments, or payments or deposits up front.
Commercial terms such as prompt payment discounts can encourage customers to pay early. This can be backed up by a review of business processes to ensure that payments are collected as efficiently and promptly as possible.
Protect assets
Review the retention of title and termination provisions in existing and prospective contracts to ensure they offer sufficient protection for assets where the other party becomes insolvent.
Suppliers should seek to retain title to goods supplied until full payment is received. The supplier should have the right to enter the customer's premises to recover goods for which payment has not been made.
Customers should ensure that title to goods passes on delivery and that risk passes at the point at which payment is made.
Ensure that termination rights related to financial problems are comprehensive so that the contract can be terminated for the other party's insolvency or an event which may lead to insolvency, such as the appointment of an administrator.
Rights to recover assets on termination will also be important. Consider requiring a right to terminate for convenience as a clean and quick way to exit the contract if problems arise with the other party.
Manage outsourcing risks
If you outsource services, it will be more important than ever to monitor the performance and financial position of outsourced service providers more closely.
Think about getting a "plan B" in place, particularly where the outsourcing involves a critical business function. For example, line up a replacement supplier or retain sufficient expertise in-house so that services can be transferred if necessary.
"Worst case scenario" contractual rights such as step-in rights can sometimes be overlooked during contract negotiations, but may prove crucial to ensuring business continuity if the service provider suffers problems. Check whether the service provider is required to provide all the necessary information and materials to enable a smooth transition.
Help the service provider to help you. If they have struck a bad deal or if cost increases mean that they are losing money from the outsourcing, be prepared to renegotiate terms rather than causing them to go under, as this may be the most cost-effective solution.
Key IP issues
Manage your portfolio
IP assets are costly to maintain and protect. In an economic downturn it is crucial to review the strategy underpinning an IP portfolio to maximise its value and save costs.
Conduct a review and decide whether it is necessary to maintain all patent, trade mark, domain name registrations and registered designs and consider the potential to abandon any registrations which are ancillary to the needs of the business, or which are not cost-effective to maintain.
Bear in mind that some IP assets may not be of direct value to the business but could be licensed or assigned to third parties for a substantial fee instead of allowing them to lapse.
Capture and maximise value
A company's know-how, ideas and confidential information are valuable assets, often created at a significant cost to the business. Instituting and enforcing effective policies for the capture and retention of innovative ideas, trade secrets and inventions can often lead to enhanced business value and direct commercial benefits, which are particularly important within a more financially challenging environment.
Patent filings may also be possible, adding further tangible value.
It is also important to maintain a contractual and policy framework to guard against the misuse of IP rights by members of staff, particularly departing employees who may have access to software code, customer lists, or research and development material.
Monitor infringement and enforce your rights
Infringement of IP assets or other unauthorised use can have a severe impact on their value. It is important to review the systems in place to monitor infringement (for example, trade mark watch services) and to review the strategy for taking action against infringers.
Taking pro-active steps to enforce your rights may also create an opportunity to recover lost licensing revenue through settlement or damages awards. By contrast, a failure to take action to prevent and address IP infringement may result in lost license fees and royalties.
Similarly, being aware of the IP assets of your competitors and implementing clearance policies for new products or services can avoid unwanted and costly infringement claims.
Key competition issues
Get the best deal
Consider how competition issues might apply to deals where the partner is potentially "dominant" (having a large market share) or is imposing restrictions which raise costs or reduce potential markets.
Exploit regulatory issues
For example, in the telecoms sector, think about who has significant market power and whether they are complying with their obligations.
In the telecoms sector, the Services Directive (to come into force at the end of this year) could result in the avoidance of costly establishments across the EEA as head offices will have greater freedom to provide cross-border services. This can also have beneficial tax consequences if rationalisation is undertaken in conjunction with a pan-European tax efficiency review.
Key employment issues
Consider alternatives to redundancy
The reflex reaction of many organisations looking to cut their cost base is to make redundancies. However, making redundancies can be time consuming, damaging for morale and can leave businesses under-resourced when the market picks up again. Redundancies are also often more expensive than businesses anticipate.
Before deciding to make redundancies, look at alternatives such as offering employees the opportunity to take sabbaticals or to work from home (to reduce the requirement for office space) or to move to reduced working hours or new flexible working arrangements.
Look at whether there is any flexibility to pay reduced bonuses or other discretionary amounts (although it should be noted that even where a bonus is stated to be discretionary a court will not interpret this as giving employers a completely unlimited discretion).
Pro-actively manage under-performance
In the good times it can be relatively easy to avoid paying too much attention to under-performing employees. However, if an employee's performance is not properly managed, they may be able to bring a claim if their employment is subsequently terminated. A more challenging market presents the opportunity to address under-performance in a more structured and rigorous way.
This should either improve an individual's performance for the benefit of the business or make it cheaper and easier to dismiss the individual if ultimately their performance doesn't improve.
Plan redundancies carefully
If, despite the above, you find yourself having to make redundancies, the key to ensuring that the process is as smooth as possible is to put plenty of time into the planning stages.
Two areas in which employers often slip are:
Pre-judging (or being seen to pre-judge) from the outset who is to be made redundant. This decision should only be made after an appropriate selection and consultation process has been completed.
Failing to consult sufficiently widely.
Be aware that if you are making 20 or more employees redundant within 90 days at one "establishment" you will need to go through a collective consultation process lasting at least 30 days. Proper planning at the outset will enable you to avoid these and other common pitfalls.
Key corporate finance issues
Make sure acquisitions are worthwhile
Even some attractive companies with strong IP, management teams or a large customer base will struggle to make it through the downturn and may well be looking to dispose of themselves or of non-core assets. It may be that your organisation is looking to acquire these assets at what is perceived to be a reduced cost.
However, some questions you should ask include:
How does the acquisition sit with your business' strategic focus and other internal demands on time and resources?
How long will it take this acquisition to get to positive cash flow?
What are you buying (for example, people, technology, revenue or customers)?
Have the projections been internally verified?
Will you need to finance the acquisition? Could it lead to you needing to re-finance in the near future?
Make sure the target is a going concern
Give early attention to whether the board is in a position to give a going concern statement in annual reports and whether this statement is to be qualified.
Many directors will be reluctant to give an unqualified going concern statement as they may be held personally liable if the statement proves to be incorrect (particularly given that there is likely to be more regulatory oversight and more litigation in the current environment).
Also, bear in mind that any going concern issues are likely to lead to significantly increased audit costs and that, if the statement is qualified, the qualifications are likely to be used and referred to by competitors during competitive bidding situations.
Focus on financing
Some technology companies are awash with cash but many are not in this position and will be seeking to re-negotiate their financial covenants to avoid a breach.
In the current environment, deal terms are becoming more favourable to investors and banks.
In many cases, existing investors and bankers are being left to fund companies as new investors and bankers cannot be identified.
Before starting negotiations, bear in mind that the terms and structure of financing in this market are not likely to follow the relatively predictable range of terms we have seen over the last four or five years. Also remember that in the future, these terms may well be subject to hostile scrutiny, for example by a shareholder.
Appropriate records should be kept, reasonable alternatives should be demonstrably considered and board approval should be sought (including from any non-executive or independent directors).
Where practicable, there should be complete transparency as to the terms.

The buildings were beautiful and full of interesting artefacts from all across Turkey. This part of the world has so much more recorded history than back home.

When we got up to the breakfast room, the plates were set up, with a hard boiled egg, some cucumber, tomato, olives, cheese and bread. Darren was disappointed, and didn't want it, (it did look a bit average) so we decided we'd go out and find something else instead. I had a shower and quickly looked up some directions before we headed out. We walked around the streets for a while looking at ...

This might have been my favorite part of the trip so far because right as we reached the top of the tower the sun was setting and the ...

AdvertisementBike shop website Dutch Bike Co. shares this tip for quick and cheap traction in snow. The zip ties themselves dig into the snow nicely but are not thick enough to make the bike bounce. The author alternates cutting off the zip tie heads on either side of the tire to help with cornering.There are two caveats with using this method—make sure that if your bike has fenders that the zip tie heads are low enough to not cause clearance issues and also make sure that you don't try this if your bike has rim brakes; the zip ties will get in the way of the brake pads.AdvertisementSeattle Snowpocalypse | via Wired
