House votes to restore $7 million in cut funding to state HHSStaff Report
March 19. 2014 2:23PM
CONCORD – The House Wednesday passed legislation that would restore $7 million in budget cuts imposed last year on the state Department of Health and Human Services to avoid what proponents called "draconian cuts," and send the remainder of a $15.3 million surplus to the "Rainy Day Fund."
After the 185-153 roll call, the bill now goes to the Senate.
The House Finance Committee had voted 13-10 that the money should be restored, with the majority finding that the department is facing a $36 million general fund shortfall with program cuts imminent that would affect several services, including Children In Need of Services, ServiceLink and the system addressing needs of the developmentally disabled.
The minority of House Finance found that it was poor public policy that would reopen the 2014-2015 budget, contrary to "long-standing House practice."
Republicans Wednesday proposed an amendment to devote the entire $15.3 million surplus generated in the last two-year budget cycle to the Rainy Day Fund," which House Finance Committee member Neal Kurk of Weare said is now "woefully inadequate."
But it was rejected on roll call of 172-157, with 15 Democrats joining GOP members in favor of the amendment.
"There is always a propensity to spend when the money is there. But prudent New Hampshire people know that just because you have money, you don't have to spend it," said Kurk. "We are woefully inadequate in our financial prudence."
Kurk said the full surplus from the last biennium should have gone into the Rainy Day fund, but the law mandating that shift was suspended and all of the surplus was put into the current budget.
He said the budget surplus was estimated at $57 million but turned out to be $72 million, leaving an extra $15 million, which should go into the Rainy Day Fund.
Rep. Steven Spratt, D-Greenville, said the GOP amendment "has no real financial benefit to the State of New Hampshire" and the state's bond rating is "not dependent on the balance in the Rainy Day fund."
After the GOP amendment was rejected, Kurk said the bill as proposed "is a spending the bill. We're reopening the budget and giving $7 million to the Department of Health and Human Services because it needs it. Why just Health and Human Services?"
He noted the HHS budget is $2 billion in total funds and $650 million in state general funds.
"Seven million dollars represents 1 percent of its general fund appropriation. Every agency of this size can make that cut," said Kurk.
"When we make a budget, we should put it to bed and not reopen it. Starting down this path is bad," he said.
But Rep. Gary Richardson, D-Hopkinton, said the areas that the $7 million would fund are "things that this House previously approved. And the department is still facing a $36 million shortfall.
"Restoring it will avoid some of these draconian cuts and still sent $8.3 million to the Rainy Day fund. That's the responsible thing to do under these circumstances."
Also Wednesday, the House rejected, 197-122, a resolution that would have asked that Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to include one hospital in every county in the state. Sullivan County state representatives urged passing, noting that theirs is the only county without a hospital under the Anthem network.
It also voted to further study whether health insurance exchange navigators should be licensed by the state. Navigators work under the Affordable Care Act to help align consumers with health insurance plans. Opponents of the bill said that since the state has no state-based exchange and uses the federal exchange, it is up to the federal government to regulate navigators.

Village applies for grant to study sewer seepage
Project estimate not ready yet.
Good news came only as a possibility, not a promise, last week concerning the village's leaking sewage lagoons.
The board of trustees approved a grant application during their regular monthly meeting on Oct. 14 that if awarded would help pay for a study required before fixing the seepage issue at the lagoons.
The village received a notice of violation in August from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality stating that seepage from the lagoons exceeds the daily allowable amount and that it must be corrected.
Miller & Associates of Kearney, the village's engineering firm, has been working on a plan of action.
Reed Miller told trustees that approximately 33,500 gallons of wastewater are transmitted per day to the lagoon.
If the pump is moving 125 gallons an hour as it should, seepage far exceeds the eighth-inch per day state standard.
"That's not a good thing," Miller said.
The one cell being used measures approximately an acre, Miller said. To meet state standards with the current sandy bottom, the village would need 5.9 acres.
The total land available is 7.6 acres in four cells but Miller said three of the cells are not being used.
Soil conditioner could be added to reduce the seepage but Miller said that option may be more costly than an impermeable liner. The liner, though, would require more square footage.
"I know that's not the outcome you wanted," he said, "but that's the facts."
Jackie Houpt, also of Miller & Associates, presented the trustees with a community development block grant application that if awarded would provide funds from NDEQ for a planning study to correct the sewer problem.
The grant total is $23,275 with a match of $7,125 required from the village.
That grant, awarded in January, doesn't provide any funds to actually fix the problem, only money for the study portion of the project.
Miller said he couldn't provide an estimated cost for repair until the study is done.
NDEQ gave the village until July 2010 to remedy the problem.
In other business, the board was questioned during the public comment portion of the meeting by resident Jeff Snyder concerning the village's agreement for trash removal.
Snyder said Schaben Sanitation has told him he cannot use a roll-off dumpster from another company for his private construction work because the village has a contract with Schaben in place.
Snyder said he's been using a roll-off from Mike's Sanitation of Gothenburg for four months and has been charged roughly $90 total. The same dumpster from Schaben would cost about $90 a month, he said.
"I'm wondering if the village is going to pay the difference since you're tying my hands with this Schaben contract," Snyder said. "It's a free country. I should be able to choose who I do business with."
Snyder also questioned whether the village looked into any other sanitation companies before extending Schaben's contract.
Trustee Stacey Miles told Snyder some board members were unaware of the situation.
"It's something we're definitely going to look into," she said.
In other action, Brady trustees:
- learned from Nancy Striebel, executive director of Lincoln County Community Development Corporation, that work will begin soon on an owner/occupied housing rehabilitation project. The board also voted to release a lien on a previous rehab property.
- approved wording changes to three ordinances to update the monthly meeting time to 7 p.m. and change franchise company names for SourceGas and Consolidated Telephone.
- approved the annual audit for the community planning grant.
- recommended approval by the state liquor commission for a liquor license at the Feed Bunk. The licensee name will now be Jacqui Hansen.
- appointed Gerald Brown as Brady's delegate to the state keno board.

Dr. Mark A. Hussey, a plant scientist with a 25-year career in agriculture at Texas A&M University, has been chosen by the A&M System Board of Regents to become the next vice chancellor and dean of agriculture and life sciences. The regents, meeting by telephone on Thursday, voted unanimously for his selection. Hussey succeeds Dr. Elsa Murano, who became president of Texas A&M in January 2008. Since then, Hussey has held the position in an interim capacity.
"Mark Hussey has been doing a stand-out job for (Texas A&M) AgriLife, and I am delighted that today's action recognizes his strengths and achievements," said Dr. Michael D. McKinney, chancellor of The Texas A&M System. "This appointment provides us the leadership that will guide the College and the rest of our agriculture programs through the challenging times ahead. I've enjoyed working with Mark very much and look forward to gaining the most from his enthusiasm and ideas as both AgriLife and the A&M System move forward."
"We are obviously pleased with this appointment," Murano said. "I am confident that Dr. Hussey will effectively build on the strengths of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, providing the leadership that will further enhance its renowned reputation for excellence in teaching, research and service at the state, national and international levels."
As the new dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Hussey will lead one of the largest agricultural schools in the country. With an enrollment of nearly 6,700 students in 14 academic departments, the college offers more than 80 undergraduate and graduate degrees. Its faculty of nearly 400 includes two Nobel laureates.
In his role as vice chancellor with the A&M System, Hussey will oversee Texas AgriLife Research, the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, Texas Forest Service and Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory. When combined with the
College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Texas A&M AgriLife comprises one of the largest and most diverse such organizations in the country. "I am humbled by the confidence and trust that has been placed in me with this decision," Hussey said. "I will do my utmost to support our faculty, staff, students and former students whose efforts make such a significant impact on our state, nation, and world." During his year as interim vice chancellor and dean, Hussey led the implementation of a marketing and re-branding strategy to support the teaching, research, extension and service missions of agriculture and life sciences at Texas A&M AgriLife. He also conducted statewide listening sessions with Texas Forest Service employees and stakeholders and restructured the communications and information technology functions to bring them under the vice chancellor's office.
Hussey currently serves as the director of Texas AgriLife Research. Since becoming agency director in 2007, he has developed a corporate relations team that has established new research contracts valued at more than $15 million.
Before he became associate director of AgriLife Research in 2005, Hussey served for four years as head of Texas A&M's department of soil and crop sciences. His career began as a forage breeder at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Weslaco in 1983. Hussey became assistant professor in soil and crop sciences at Texas A&M in 1985 and was promoted to professor in 1997.
He earned a bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Illinois. Hussey has both a master's degree and doctorate in plant breeding from Texas A&M.
About the A&M System The A&M System is one of the largest systems of higher education in the nation, with a budget of $3.04 billion. Through a statewide network of nine universities, seven state agencies and a comprehensive health science center, the A&M System educates 109,000 students and makes more than 15 million additional educational contacts through service and outreach programs each year. Externally funded research brings in almost $627 million every year and helps drive the state's economy.

2010 Fantasy Baseball: Sleepers TipsMarch 28, 2010
There is a debate in the fantasy baseball world over the exact definition as to what a fantasy baseball sleeper is. Whether you want to view sleepers as rookies coming up from the minors or veterans who haven't gotten a chance to prove themselves yet, well, that's up to you.
The easiest way to view it though, is as a player who is statically predicted to be significantly better then their previous year, or simply a player that hasn't found his opportunity yet, and is set-up in a situation where he has a great chance for success.
One of the key indicators for finding fantasy baseball sleepers is to look at second half numbers. While you can tell a lot about a player from their consistency over an entire season, or seeing how they begin the year, some of last year's hottest players will generally have great finishes, which will leak into the following season.
That means if a guy starts playing after the 2009 All-Star break and finishes the season strong, he could be viewed as a real gem heading into 2010, despite not being on the fantasy radar entering the 2009 fantasy season.
These stats can easily be found on a number of websites. One good resource is yahoosports.com. This site allows you to look at a player and then under the player there is also a tab called split stats. It will show a players stats from after the All-Star break to the end of the year, along with a number of other useful stats and situational numbers. This can give you a different perspective of how a player might perform in different situations.
Now that you understand and know where to look for player's second half numbers, you should know what things you should target when looking at these numbers.
One thing specifically to look at is when a player has a high average in the second half of the season. This can tell you a number of things about the player.
Perhaps the player was a rookie and is just starting to get comfortable in the second half of the season, or maybe a player was injured in the first half and became healthy in the second half. Knowing the players, the teams, and the reasoning behind the depth chart's current status is important to your entire draft, let alone predicting correct fantasy sleepers.
These second half numbers can go a long way in showing potential for a player in the future. Another key indicator to consider when assessing a player's value is their status on the depth chart (as previously mentioned), along with the status of the players around them.
This can be due to various things such as trades or being pulled up from the minors. You want to think, "Will your player be moved up into a more favorable batting position? Could this cause him to get more RBI's and runs? Or was he moved to an undesirable position where he might not get as many RBI's and runs from his previous years stats?" These are a few key questions you need to regularly ask yourself, both in before your fantasy draft, as well as throughout the fantasy baseball season.
These tips are merely reminders of the important aspect of drafting and managing a team: attention to detail. Anyone can get lucky and stumble upon the hot pitching hand or the guy who hasn't struck-out in five weeks. But if you're active in your pursuit for the sleepers, both before, during, and after your draft, you have betters odds at building a very valuable team full of guys no one else saw coming.

Bear Guards Residence Hall
By Abbey Le Roy
CIU Student Writer
The cost of living in the recently renovated Memorial Residence Hall is high. The price to enter? A kiss.
Before the semester began, student leaders spent several days on a retreat in Gatlinburg. Director of Residence Life, Mike Thompson, facilitated a game of "Bigger and Better." Students were divided into teams, each of which was given a penny. The penny was to be traded for a more valuable item, initiating a series of exchanges with the goal being to obtain the "biggest and best" object from strangers in the city before time expired.
The winning team ended up with a large wooden bear named "Red," which was brought back to campus and now stands at the entrance to Memorial. Rodyca Malancea, a member of the winning team and a senior at CIU, says, "The tradition is that a person must kiss the bear every time he enters Memorial."

About Les Miserables
Les Miserables is the motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe and still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 27th year. Helmed by The King's Speech's Academy Award®-winning director, Tom Hooper, the Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh production stars Hugh Jackman, Oscar® winner Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, with Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Miserables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption—a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.
In December 2012, the world's longest-running musical brings its power to the big screen in Tom Hooper's sweeping and spectacular interpretation of Victor Hugo's epic tale. With international superstars and beloved songs—including "I Dreamed a Dream," "Bring Him Home," "One Day More" and "On My Own"—Les Miserables, the show of shows, is now reborn as the cinematic musical experience of a lifetime. www.lesmiserablesfilm.com

- Power of Attorney (POA)
- Paid Preparer Authorization
- Paid Preparer, Power of Attorney Not Available - DOR Limitations
- Massachusetts References
Power of Attorney
To protect the confidentiality of tax records, Massachusetts law generally prohibits DOR from disclosing tax return information to anyone other than taxpayers or their representatives. Generally, DOR can only release tax information to representatives if they provide valid powers of attorney.
Unauthorized disclosure of tax information is prohibited. Violation of this statute is punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000, or imprisonment for not more than six months, or both, and by disqualification from holding office in the Commonwealth for a period not to exceed 3 years.
Form M-2848 - Power of Attorney (POA):
With a Form M-2848 , a taxpayer can indicate the extent to which he or she is represented by a POA (e.g., the tax type or periods) and can name one or more representatives. A representative cannot receive the taxpayer's refund.
Revocation of Form M-2848:
A new form must be filed to revoke the power of attorney or make changes to the existing form filed. To revoke in its entirety without executing a new POA, the taxpayer should submit a signed statement of intention to revoke to the bureau with which the form was originally filed.
A family member is not an authorized representative without a signed power of attorney form. (Except husband/wife if a joint return was filed, or when a parent is acting on behalf of a minor child.)
Form ABT - Power of Attorney (POA) Included:
For taxpayer and practitioner convenience, the M-2848 has been incorporated onto the second page of Form ABT . The POA is only good for tax periods specified and issues covered on the particular CA-6.
Preparer Authorization on Tax Return - Income Only
May the Department of Revenue discuss this return with the preparer shown here? __Yes
A taxpayer should fill in the "Yes" oval on the bottom of the tax returns if he or she wants to authorize DOR to discuss the tax return with the paid preparer who signed the returns without submitting a signed POA. This authorization does not bind the taxpayer to the preparer to represent him/her for other DOR issues; a Form M-2848 can still be filed to expand the preparer's authorization.
This authorization is only valid for one year; it expires on the day the following tax year return is due.
|Tax Year
|Return Due
|Paid Preparer Expires
|April 15, 2014
|April 15, 2015
|April 15, 2015
|April 15, 2016
Paid preparer authorization on tax return permits DOR to:
- request paid preparer to submit any information that is missing from the return;
- call the paid preparer about any return discrepancies.
- call DOR for information on the processing of the return;
- call DOR for the status of the refund or payment(s);
- use the IVR or web to check refund or verify estimated tax payments; and
- respond to certain DOR notices about math errors, offsets and return preparation.
Paid preparer authorization on tax return limitations include the following:
- it is only for the individual paid preparer who signed the return, not for other preparers from the same company or firm;
- it does not authorize DOR to issue refund checks to the tax preparer;
- it cannot be revoked but will expire no later than the due date (without regard to extension) for filing the next year's tax return.
Paid Preparer,Power of Attorney Not Available - DOR Limitations:
If there is no executed power of attorney or paid preparer authorization, DOR employees can only verify whether returns were filed with a "Yes" or "No" answer. This information can be given over the telephone. However, DOR can give out neither line item information nor an address.
There are also circumstances under which DOR may discuss tax information with someone other than the taxpayer only If the taxpayer calls in, verifies that he or she is in fact the taxpayer and requests that DOR speak with someone who is either in the same room as the taxpayer or is on the same phone line as the taxpayer. This situation often occurs when the taxpayer has difficulty speaking English.
DOR can verify that the taxpayer is on the line by requesting his or her social security #, address and last year's tax refund or payment.
To request additional information, a taxpayer may submit the request in writing to:
Disclosure Office
Massachusetts Department of Revenue
100 Cambridge Street
Boston, MA 02114
- M.G.L. Chapter 62C, Section 21
- DD 87-5: Power of Attorney, Disclosure of Tax Information

Mojo Bird Lessons
This little birdie from Anniversary Birds always makes me giggle a bit. This set is one of Verve's all-time highest selling sets, but if it hadn't been for Mark, might never have seen stamp form. As I've mentioned in posts before, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and also a very harsh critic of myself. While I thought the birds were kind of cute, I also thought they were kind of homely and was afraid to put them out there and have people laugh at my poor drawing abilities. But Mark pretty much MADE me release them and I'm so glad I did. Every time I see one of these birds on a card it makes me smile.
It's a lesson I needed to learn. A lesson to not censor yourself or your art. If you have a trusted friend and you ask their opinion.. take it. Sometimes they can see the potential in you that your light-blocking, perfectionism eyewear just can't see. The definition of art is simply arranging items in a way that affects the senses, emotions or intellect. So no matter what you make, if you put your heart into it, it's art. And that's something to be proud of. Something that makes the world a better, prettier place. So create something that makes you smile today - then share it with the world. It's bound to produce even more smiles!
Stamps: Anniversary Birds, Wordy Birds (Verve Stamps)
Paper: Lime Twist Life of the Party (My Mind's Eye), Poppy Parade, Basic Gray (SU!)
Ink: Poppy Parade, Basic Gray (SU!), Broken China (Ranger)
Accessories: classic and grand circle nestabilities (Spellbinders), divine twine, black taffeta (SU!), liquid pearls, stickles (Ranger), polka dots EF (Cuttlebug), flower, Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch (SU!)

Ha..it's funny you think the birds are funny looking because I've always thought they were so fancy and sophisticated! :)ReplyDelete
Love the color choices on this card and the Liquid Pearls. Bright, rich, and cheery card! Happy Memorial Day!
You are giving Sankiri some serious competition with all those liquid pearls ;) Loving the ribbon accent and sparkly wing on the bird. Big cheer to Mark for his "pushing you" to make this set :)ReplyDelete
As for the sale...I heard...I spent...I can't wait to get my goodies LOL!
Have a great Memorial day and hope your back gets better soon!
Oh my cuteness......ReplyDelete
The bird is adorable!
Julee, this is so cute! I love the colors, shape, and the twine!ReplyDelete
Such a fabulous lesson! I am my harshest critic as well!ReplyDelete

I have been stamping for many years but it is only recently that I became enlightened to share my creations. I find your blog and your stamps have such a powerful message. The details are amazing and the sentiments are perfect for so many situations. With a dear friend battling a very rare cancer I have made it my mission to send her a card a week. I spent Friday night with her and she told me how much the cards meant to her and how appropriate and uplifting they were for the journey ahead of her. Thanks Julee for sharing your amazing design talents with all of us and making us realize creating is in the eyes of the creator!ReplyDelete
Sometimes I get all wrapped up in pleasing others, I forget what I really like. This is a really colorful and pretty card and I glad it made you happy.ReplyDelete
I love this, the colors are so cheery, and the liquid pearls are awesome. Totally love it!ReplyDelete
Beautiful combination of colours and I love the little birds!!ReplyDelete
this is a beautiful card julee-love the ribbon tabs and bakers twine-the shape and colors are fabReplyDelete
This is just darling, Julee! I love this sweet birdie and your card is SO fun!ReplyDelete
Hope you are back on your feet soon! Hugs!
This is just crazy, adorable. Love the colors! Hugs, MReplyDelete
I am a serial blog hopper-I don't mind admitting it! On my iPhone I have a select few blogs open at all times-yours is one. It really surprises me every time you say that you worry about what people are going to think of your work because I rarely find a card of yours that I dislike or am not inspired and impressed by!!! As a fellow perfectionist and someone who is petrified of sharing my work with anyone just in case they don't like it, I feel your pain-however I have a hard time understanding why you would ever have to worry! You have such style and creativity, if I am half as good as you then that is plenty good enough for me :)ReplyDelete
Keep up the good work and know that you inspire others :)
(love the card by the way! If I used red and green together I almost guarantee it would look christmassy! How do you do it?!)
Well said, Julee. I think you are absolutely right in your definition of art and that it's so important NOT to censor your art. Like you said, all of our senses are affected differently with different forms of art. Makes me think of the old saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." You almost trashed this cute bird?! I'm SO GLAD you didn't. He's unique and cute in a GOOD way...and just look. Now this is one of your best selling sets :] Awesome lesson learned, if you ask me.ReplyDelete
Your card is amazing, of course. Love your layers and your palette. This came together beautifully. Hope your back is feeling MUCH better ♥
I needed that pep talk! Seriously! Thanks for being so vulnerable in admitting your doubts about that bird (who IS adorable, by the way). I love the ribbon tail you added and the twine, oh the twine!!!ReplyDelete
I did two little wrappies on my card...that was all I could handle! Now I feel like a wimp! LOL. ;)
Amazing card! I love the way you define art. I have an ongoing debate with a friend's son about that. Our city has a huge art competition (Art Prize) and her son thinks it's not art. While some of it is questionable, I told him if it touches one person, it's art. You see, he is pursuing his Master's in Fine Art. He thinks anything by anyone not as educated in art as he is an insult to his profession. I like your idea of art better than his ;)ReplyDelete
what a very cute card! I love the round sketch I can't wait to try this. Also, you are so true about your statement on your art - what an inspiration. Also, when you create something that makes you smile and feel good, it definitely needs to be shared with others!ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous card!ReplyDelete
Can you share with me how you made the base of the card with your die? I'm new to all this gorgeous creation :)ReplyDelete

Young Latinas and African Americans were President Obama's biggest supporters among voters between 18 and 29 years old, according to an analysis released Wednesday of national exit poll data.
Black women gave Obama the most support, with 98 percent saying they voted for him. The next group that was most supportive of Obama among young voters were Latinas, with 82 percent voting for the president, according to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE), a youth research organization at Tufts University.
Nearly 60 percent felt positive and hopeful about Obama, nearly twice as much as young voters in general.
"In general, young women of color felt that President Obama had only inherited economic problems from the previous administration (2 percent blamed Obama for the economic problems) and has been steadily improving the situation," said a report on the analysis.
Male minority voters were considerably less enthusiastic, with about 32 percent describing themselves as such. Still, nearly 90 percent of them favored Obama over GOP challenger Mitt Romney, compared with 57 percent of all voters and 35 percent of non-Hispanic white males who cast their ballots.
The analysis, of exit poll data gathered by Edison Research, showed that among young minority voters, Hispanic men were the most likely to prefer the Republican Party or consider themselves Independents, even though two-third of them voted for President Obama. Slightly more than a quarter – or 26 percent – of Latinos said they are conservative.
Latinas were the most liberal, and the "least likely to be religious," the report said.
Latinas, the report noted, represent "a formidable voting bloc" because they comprise a larger percentage of the 18-29 population than African Americans. The report said that Hispanic women make up 8.4 percent of the youth population, the largest ethnic/gender group of this segment.
Latinos are by far the youngest voting bloc in the country, with their median age at 27 —and just 18 years among native-born Hispanics—compared with 42 years for that of white non-Hispanics, studies show.
Some 900,000 Latinos turn 18 years old each year, potentially further bolstering their clout in elections, political experts say. Latinos turned out in record numbers on Nov. 6, making up 10 percent of voters and helping to tilt the election in Obama's favor.
"In the coming decades, their share of the age-eligible electorate will rise markedly through generational replacement alone," said a report released Wednesday by the Pew Hispanic Center.
The Tufts youth voter analysis said that roughly 69 percent of young Latinas said they were Democrats, 15 percent as Republicans and 20 percent as neither.
As for Hispanic men, just 42 percent identified with the Democratic Party, 28 percent with Republicans, and the rest chose "other."
Young black male voters, it said, were more conservative and younger in 2012 than they were four years ago, when Obama became the first African-American to be U.S. president.
Non-Hispanic white women in this age group were split evenly between Obama and Romney, but support Obama more than their male counterparts.
Non-Hispanic white males were the only young voters who favored Romney over Obama, with 54 percent over 40 percent.
The report said that about 18 percent of young white male voters felt "angry" at Obama, blaming him for the ailing economy.
And while about 50 percent of all young voters cited Obama's handling of Hurricane Sandy as impressive and an important factor in the elections, only 34 percent of white male voters did so.
The report said that white male voters had a deeper sense of being adversely affected by the economy than other young voters, though "while male voters were more likely to have a job (67 percent compared to 59 percent for youth overall)."
A majority of white males believed that Romney would have handled the economy better, the report showed.
At the same time, the analysis found, "young white men were. . .more likely to believe that President Obama understands them than Mitt Romney. And yet, their vote choice was not dependent on understanding."
The report also noted that male white voters supported Romney although they were pro-choice and support same-sex marriage, unlike the former Massachusetts governor. More than other young voters, however, a majority support deporting undocumented workers. Older white males, the report said, were more supportive of undocumented immigrants, with 56 percent of them saying they should be able to apply for legal status.

It continues to be the No. 1 killer of both women and men in the United States. But heart disease is preventable and controllable.
It continues to be the No. 1 killer of both women and men in the United States. But heart disease is preventable and controllable.
In observance of American Heart Month, a Feb. 12 online chat was conducted by Debra Brock, R.N., clinician for Orange Regional Medical Center's Healthy Heart Program.
Here's a partial edited transcript of readers' questions, along with Brock's answers.
To view the complete chat transcript, go to recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130212/NEWS/130219949
Q. How important is cholesterol?
A. It's desirable to have a healthy total cholesterol of under 200. However, HDL (good cholesterol) should be over 40 mg/dl, and LDL (bad) should be under 129mg/dl.
Q. What is considered a healthy, or normal, blood pressure?
A. Anything less than 130/85 is considered healthy. But the American Heart Association now recommends 110/70 for prevention of heart disease.
Q. I've heard back pain can be a sign of heart problems. So if I have back pain (which is sometimes), at what point should I think about potential heart problems?
A. Back pain can cause an increase in blood pressure. If the pain is changing, and you have pain and nausea and it's intensifying, call 9-1-1 right away.
Q. Are there going to be any Healthy Heart screenings in Sullivan County coming up?
A. Absolutely! We will be at Hudson River Healthcare in Monticello on 23 Lakewood Ave. Our next visit there is April 4 from 8 a.m.-noon.
Q. Can you still have a heart attack if your blood pressure is normal?
A. Yes. However, a heart attack will raise your blood pressure because you'll have pain and be anxious.
Q. My total cholesterol has been around 200 for a few years now, but all my other numbers are good. Should I do anything proactive to address this number? My primary care doc doesn't seem concerned.
A. Continue to eat healthy and exercise. Do a fasting heart-risk screening yearly if you have a history of cardiovascular disease; without cardiovascular family history, it is recommended every five years.
Q. Now that the FDA has eliminated trans fats from processed food, is there any evidence that it has helped prevent heart disease yet?
A. This has not happened yet. Trans fats have not been eliminated out of our foods in the grocery store or even in all restaurants. They prolong shelf life for these products. It is important to read your labels and understand what a trans fat is, and stay away from them! Though a food may be advertised as having zero trans fats, the FDA has allowed companies to include .5 mg trans fats per serving size, to reflect zero trans fats. So, please, read your labels carefully!
Q. My sister told me to get the new aspirin crystals by Bayer and keep them in my car and in the house, and not to lie down if you're having symptoms. And, for the screening on April 4, any pre-instructions? Thanks.
A. After you call 9-1-1 with heart attack symptoms, experts state that taking an aspirin can help; however, it is NOT a cure for a heart attack. So call 9-1-1 right away! Regarding the April 4 screening: It's best to come after fasting, but not necessary.
Comment: Thank you for hosting this chat to help people learn about heart health! The American Heart Association also has info at heart.org.
Q. What happens at the screening? Is there a stress test? Why do so many people have heart disease and don't know it till it's right on top of you? Is it just denial?
A. Denial IS our best friend at times — however, it will catch up with you! At the screening for heart risk, we will check your blood pressure, calculate your body mass index (BMI), do a blood test for your triglycerides, total cholesterol (HDL & LDL), along with a glucose blood test for diabetes. Unfortunately, heart disease is a silent killer.
Q. Tell me about chocolate. How much is too much? Should we even be eating it at all?
A. Dark chocolate is known to have lots of antioxidants; however, it is important to stick to your portion control and read the label to see what the portion size is.
Q. By the way, I have a friend who had the stenting done at L.I. Jewish (Medical Center) a month ago, and it definitely saved his life. He is only 58, vegetarian and leads yoga hikes and is not overweight!
A. Heart disase affects everybody! Family history and genetics play a large role. However, family eating habits need to be looked at.
Q. My friend takes fish oil capsules because she swears it will protect her heart ... and she doesn't exercise! I told her that the news is that you have to eat actual fish to get the benefit. She doesn't believe me ... can you set her straight?
A. Raw oils are important. Once we cook an oil, the omega-3 factors are affected. Yes, it is important to eat fish at least three times a week, take an omega-3 vitamin (it does help), at least 800mg daily. However, exercise is essential for heart healthiness.
Q. How much do homocysteine levels affect heart health?
A. Homocysteine levels can affect your heart health, but the Healthy Heart Program does not screen for this.
Q. I've had an occasional fast heart rate (tachycardia), maybe about once a month. When I take my B/P at that time, pulse rate can go up to 240.
A. I would suggest that you see your cardiologist. This can be treated. It's an electrical physiological problem with your heart that has nothing to do with cholesterol.
Q. Is calcium scoring necessary for someone who has a family history of heart disease? Is this service used frequently at Orange Regional?
A. Calcium can affect blockages in the arteries; however, the Healthy Heart Program does not screen for this. Please see your doctor. It's usually related to family history.
Q. Why does heart disease continue to be the nation's No. 1 killer despite all the advances in technology and treatment? Do you think this country has a obesity problem?
A. Yes, this country has an obesity problem. Therefore, it is important to read our labels and eat healthy. It's a matter of healthy choices and sharing them with those you love.
Q. Is stress testing necessary at a certain age in someone who has no symptoms of heart disease?
A. Any age can have a stress test. It is important to test heart function where there may be symptomatic problems.
Q. Is there a link between gingivitis and heart disease?
A. Yes. There is research indicating this is true. Your mouth is very vascular. Bacteria in your mouth can cause more problems than heart disease.
Coming next Tuesday: Part 2 of the Healthy Heart chat with Debra Brock, R.N., includes questions on caffeine, diabetes, stress and children's heart health.

Florida coach Billy Donovan said he felt his team was outplayed by Auburn on Wednesday night at the O'Connell Center.
Florida coach Billy Donovan said he felt his team was outplayed by Auburn on Wednesday night at the O'Connell Center.
"Just calling it like it is," Donovan said.
Yet somehow, some way, the No. 2 Gators secured a historic win, beating Auburn 71-66 before a sellout crowd of 12,414 for its school-record 18th straight victory.
The 18 consecutive wins surpassed the previous three longest streaks of 17 straight games that occurred during UF's 2006 and 2007 national championship seasons. Florida (24-2, 13-0 SEC) also won its 30th straight at home, but needed some clutch shots, clutch free throws and Auburn mistakes down the stretch to make it happen.
"Coach likes to say our record is our past," Florida senior center Patric Young said. "It counts for us this year, but it's in the past. We need to not let that affect us going forward into the next game. And I think that may have affected us going into this game. We may have been a little bit complacent."
Said Donovan: "You always celebrate a win. Our guys worked hard to do that. It's hard to prepare. It was a hard-fought game. Auburn is a good team. … We're going to enjoy the win, but we're certainly going to have to make some corrections and get better."
Young scored all of his game-high 17 points in the second half. None were bigger than the two free throws he hit with 19.4 seconds remaining. Then, Auburn senior forward Allen Payne threw away the ensuing in-bounds play. Senior point guard Scottie Wilbekin was fouled with 17.4 seconds left, extending UF's lead to 70-66.
With 4.7 seconds remaining, Young finished off his 17-point, seven-rebound night by rebounding a missed 3-point attempt from Auburn junior guard KT Harrell. The 6-foot-9 center made 1 of 2 free throws to finish off the game. Florida went 82.1 percent from the free-throw line (23-28), overcoming a 33-percent night from 3-point range (8-24).
Donovan said he nearly sat Young for the game due to knee tendinitis issues that have affected him on and off during the season.
"I had to pick it up in the second half, but we did a lot better of a job," Young said.
The Gators also got another clutch shot down the stretch from sophomore guard Michael Frazier II. With Florida down 65-63, Frazier made a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 40.7 seconds. Frazier, who had ice on his left wrist postgame after injuring it on a hard spill on the court, had been 3 of 8 from 3-point range before the go-ahead shot.
"I knew as soon as I let it go it was good," Frazier said. "And that's a great feeling because sometimes I shoot with confidence and I feel like it comes out, oh, I did this wrong, I tweaked it to the left too much. But that last shot, that was the best-feeling shot I had in the game. It came at the right time."
But Auburn z(12-12, 4-9) had a chance to regain the lead with 20.7 seconds when senior guard Chris Denson went to the free-throw line after Will Yeguete was called for a blocking foul. Denson made his first free-throw attempt to tie the score at 66, but missed his second. On the miss, Young corralled the rebound and was fouled by Auburn center Asauhn Dixon-Tatum, setting up Young's heroics.
Senior point guard Scottie Wilbekin said he had confidence in Young, a 57.1 percent free-throw shooter, going to the line.
"I knew he was going to hit it, and we were going to get a stop," Wilbekin said.
But for as well as Florida played down the stretch, Donovan was more disappointed in UF's first-half performance. Florida trailed 38-30 at halftime, its largest deficit in a half this season.
Auburn shot 56.5 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from 3-point range (6 of 9) in the first half. Freshman guard Tahj Shamsid-Deen scored 14 of his team-high 17 points in the first half.
"They were definitely hot, especially in the first half," Wilbekin said. "But we were worried about the drives, we were helping because Harrell and Denson were both averaging 20 points. So we were focusing on them and (Shamsid)-Deen, he really stepped up in the first half."
In the second half, Wilbekin did a better job finding Young inside on pick-and-roll plays. Down 41-33, Florida tied the score at 41 on back-to-back alley-oop plays from Wilbekin to Young and Wilbekin to senior forward Casey Prather.
Prather added 16 points for the Gators, and Wilbekin had 15 points and four assists. Wilbekin said Donovan challenged the Gators at halftime after UF's lackluster first half.
"I had confidence that we would play the way we're accustomed to playing and we wouldn't lay down for the game here at our homecourt," Wilbekin said.
With Syracuse losing to Boston College on Wednesday night, Florida has a chance to vault to No. 1 for the first time since the week of Feb. 12, 2007. The Gators next play Saturday at Ole Miss, and will likely play again without freshman point guard Kasey Hill, who sat out the Auburn game with a groin injury.
"He's not progressing as fast as I thought he would," Donovan said. "Right now I would say it's probably doubtful for the game on Saturday (against Ole Miss). It's not pulled, it's a strain. The trainers were hoping he would be able to start practice on Thursday. But he's not going to be able to do that."

Sep 13, 2012
I recently moved from San Antonio up to the Windy City of Chicago. The changes were numerous: there's a shortage of good Mexican food but plenty of pizza and Italian beef to go around. Also, instead of having to drive everywhere, I've been taking advantage of the robust options for public transit, including the rail and bus systems.
Now, one could easily just stand around at their stop and wait for the next bus or train, that might not be smart for planning a trip. The L trains run frequently, but buses are a crapshoot. Thankfully, with the Chicago Transit Authority's helpful API for tracking when a bus or train will arrive (thanks to onboard GPS units), apps can make it a lot easier to navigate the city effectively.
Chicago Transit Tracker was the first app I tried at the recommendation of a friend, though several apps have a similar name. This app allows for users to save their preferred routes, and then see the expected arrival times, which update live as the minute timer ticks down. This app allows for particular routes to be created, so for frequently-traveled stops, it's possible to expand them and see what's coming. The app alos provides a "closest routes" feature that shows nearby stops, though it only shows one stop for free users.
Transit Tracks is a little more handy for looking up transit info. While it too shows nearby arrival times, it doesn't have a helpful "billboard" for all recent times. However, it has a list of starred routes that can be saved and accessed when necessary. It can also show all nearby stops in a list, or on a map. It only shows a nearby map, though it would be handy to see maps for other areas when planning trips.
RedEye Chicago may be the app for a local paper, but it too has a basic train and bus tracking functionality. As a bonus, it also has several quickdial numbers for cabs, though Uber works really well for cab service as well.
Amazingly, the most convenient way for figuring out how to get around on transit in Chicago is just Google Maps. Set up the starting point and destination as planned, select routing by transit, and let it do its thing. For discovering new routes, this helps. HopStop is handy for figuring out transit routes as well, and it can navigate by different types of transit. The app works for more than just Chicago, too. The bonus is that it also has quick access to the L map, which really helps with visualizing a train route to take. HopStop's interface isn't necessarily as user-friendly as Google Maps is, though.
While I don't think there's that one perfect app for getting around on public transportation quite yet, what these apps do is make me feel more confident in getting around a new city. I can effectively plan when I need to leave, and where I can hop on a bus or train to get where I'm going. No need for a car for Carter! Which is just ironic.

Khalil Edney, of New Rochelle, an instant celebrity after miracle buzzer-beating shot
ESPN called Khalil Edney's shot "the craziest ending to a basketball game. Ever." MaxPreps, a popular high school sports website, declared it the "greatest ending in high school basketball history." Duke's Seth Curry, one of college basketball biggest stars, had one word for it: "Wow!"
It didn't take long for social media and national television to react to Sunday's miracle 55-foot championship-winning shot by Edney, a New Rochelle senior forward, who found himself in the kind of spotlight usually reserved for superstars such as LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.
"The Shot" came in the Section 1 Class AA championship game between the Huguenots and Mount Vernon at the County Center in White Plains.
With his team trailing by two points with 2.9 seconds remaining, Edney, standing underneath his own basket, threw in a long inbound pass that was intercepted near midcourt. But Edney quickly stole a Mount Vernon pass and heaved the desperation shot, which gave his team an improbable 61-60 victory.
"I was just praying for it to go in," Edney told MSGVarsity.com. "That's one of them last-second things you throw up, and it goes in."
New Rochelle fans stormed the County Center court and began celebrating before the officials had definitively ruled whether Edney got his shot off before the buzzer sounded. For a short time, Mount Vernon, believing the shot did not count, was jubilantly jumping up and down, too.
After conferring, the referees ruled that the ball left Edney's hands in time.
The comeback capped a 12-1 New Rochelle run. Joe Clarke led the Huguenots with 30 points.
Not only did the shot catapult New Rochelle into the regional semifinal against Section 4 champion Binghamton on Tuesday at Purchase College, it made Edney an instant celebrity.
His shot was the lead story on ESPN's "SportsCenter" on Sunday night, and he and coach Rasaun Young reportedly will be interviewed by ESPN and ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday. Several variations of the highlight could be found on YouTube, the most popular one racking up more than 153,000 views Sunday night. And Edney also saw his Twitter following triple -- up to more than 1,300 and climbing Sunday night.
It has been a memorable year for New Rochelle High School athletics. The Huguenots' football team won a state championship in November, and the school's cheerleading squad won a national title last month. New Rochelle alum Ray Rice won a Super Bowl championship last month with the Baltimore Ravens, which was celebrated with a rally on the steps of New Rochelle City Hall on Saturday.
"CITY OF CHAMPIONS," Rice, who maintains a close relationship with New Rochelle's athletes, tweeted shortly after the Huguenots' win. "NEW RO, STAND UP. WE RULE WESTCHESTER."

Monken opts out coaching, in favor of parenting
A man who knows all about the option had only one.
His choice would be Anthony Monken. All day. Any day.
What an easy call for dad.
Choosing to watch his oldest son play his senior season of high school football was, in the end, why Tony Monken submitted his resignation as Vernon Hills' football coach.
Anthony Monken, who "throws a darn good ball," his dad boasts, will be a senior at Libertyville in the fall and could emerge as the Wildcats' starting quarterback. His dad will be cheering from the stands.
"When you're sitting there listening to a guy," Monken said, "and the only thing you can think about is being around your son, I think the voice in your head is telling you everything you need to know."
So, the father of two football-playing boys, a man who built Vernon Hills' football program, who led the Cougars to nine playoff berths in 13 seasons, whose last name is household in IHSA football, will have his autumns free. At least this year.
"They tell me that the leaves change colors," Monken, the only football coach in Vernon Hills history, said with a laugh.
Running a triple-option offense -- that never changed -- Monken built a program that treated kids the right way, was always competitive and played the game hard. Even during the Cougars' inaugural campaign in 2000, with no seniors on their roster, they managed to win twice. Then the following year, the Cougars took off, tying for second place in the North Suburban Conference Prairie Division, winning eight games and advancing to the Class 5A state quarterfinals.
A program was on the map.
"We were very fortunate as a bunch of young guys that the principal, Jim Whittington, and the athletic director, Al Janulis, let us start a program," Monken said. "To start a program from scratch and to create a winning tradition and to have the success that we did, that's pretty special."
The Class of 2002, featuring all-state quarterback Jason Newburger, will always hold a special place in the coach's heart.
"They had to take their lumps without a senior class ahead of them," Monken said. "For them to come in and start that winning tradition and get to the quarterfinals, to me, those guys will always be legends.
"They really put Vernon Hills on the map."
The following season, Vernon Hills earned a share of the NSC Prairie championship. The Cougars would win the division title outright in 2005, 2009 and 2010. The latter two teams included all-state wide receiver DaVaris Daniels, who shined for Notre Dame in Monday night's BCS national championship game.
The Cougars have missed the playoffs the last two years. But with Monken and his veteran staff, it didn't figure to be long before the program returned to the postseason.
Now the Cougars will have to do it without Monken. He had started his coaching career at Libertyville in 1986, serving as an assistant coach, before taking the head job at Vernon Hills, which was just opening its doors in 1999.
What Monken will do next he's not sure. Certainly, he will have lots of options. For now, all he knows for sure about next fall is that he will be coaching youth football again. His youngest son, Thomas, will be a sixth-grader.
"I'm certainly not going to apply for any head-coaching jobs for next year," Monken said. "I'm going to take a year off from that.
"If you think about it, I haven't had a year off from playing football or coaching ball since the early '70s," added Monken, who played at Winona State and Wheaton North (Class of 1981), where he was a teammate of Chuck Long, who went on to play quarterback in the NFL.
What we also know about Monken is that coaching is in his blood.
His brother Todd is the head coach at Southern Mississippi. Brother Ted was the head coach at St. Charles East and Metea Valley. Cousin Matt is the offensive coordinator at Bolingbrook. Cousin Jeff is the head coach at Georgia Southern. Cousin Tommy is the offensive coordinator at Casey-Westfield High.
Monken's dad, Bob, who coached for more than 50 years, and all four of Bob's brothers are in the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association hall of fame.
"I signed up to do this a long time ago because I love the competition and I love being around kids and working with them," Tony Monken said. "I don't care if you're working with third-graders or you're working with grown men, when that light bulb goes on and something you've been working on works, that's exciting as a coach. That's why we do this."
That's why Tony Monken will coach again -- after Anthony Monken's senior season, of course.
Tony Monken compiled a 77-55 record in 13 seasons at Vernon Hills
2000: 2-7, 1-4 (fifth in NSC Prairie)
*2001: 8-4, 3-2 (tie second in NSC Prairie, Class 5A quarterfinals)
*2002: 7-4, 3-2 (third in NSC Prairie, Class 6A second round)
*2003: 7-3, 4-1 (tie for first in NSC Prairie, Class 6A first round)
2004: 3-6, 3-2 (third in NSC Prairie)
*2005: 7-3, 6-0 (first in NSC Prairie, Class 6A first round)

well, I have a bit of a problem, it seems my g/f's computer has either a trojan or a back door on it and I have no idea how to get rid of it. I found out because her internet provider sent her an e-mail saying her computer was sending lots of spam e-mails I believe. Anyway, I tried using smackit and AVG to get rid of it but neither worked, at least I don't think they did. AVG did get rid of a virus but now about every 5 seconds an error box pops up saying that AVG had detected trojan BackDoor.Afcore.AI in file Windows\system32:bnweswh.dll. Anyway, it is a huge pain in the ass and I need to get rid of it or her internet provider is going to shut off her internet. Any help would be extremely grateful.
ps. I did a search for something like this but couldn't find anything, sorry if this has been covered somewhere else before

Ericsson Opens Communication - New Research Indicates Portal to Device Freedom
Jan 16, 2013, 08:00 EST
NEW YORK, January 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
What can the market expect from the mobile tech sector aside from more patent issues and litigation news? Take a look at what's keeping Ericsson busy these days, as they lead the show to the world's first IMS-based WebRTC platform.
While mobile tech giants keep their executives busy with their respective wars, more and more consumers use various social networks to air their dissatisfaction towards the most saleable gadgets on the market today. Consumers and investors have been greatly anticipating good news from the sector, and Ericsson (NASDAQ :ERIC ) [Full Research Report][1] is right on time to make waves this year.
For additional due diligence beyond the scope of this article, read our full featured research report on Ericsson including full detailed breakdown, technical analysis, analyst ratings and price targets - absolutely free of charge - available at: [http://www.nationaltradersassociation.org/r/read_report/ea6d_ERIC].
In a global consumer report by Ericsson ConsumerLab, the company identified highly valuable consumer trends, behavioral changes and internet usage for 2013 and beyond. As discussed by Ericsson President and CEO Hans Vestberg, mobility, broadband and cloud are the key elements that will drive the company to its modern-day success story.
Ericsson recently uncovered its new communication technology, the IMS Innovation Platform, a "Web Real Time Communications" or WebRTC interface that is designed to reshape the consumer-enterprise habitat. This new platform is expected to make a high impact on communication services where new communication paradigms can be derived and better mobile service can be expected. WebRTC will enable developers to produce exceptionally creative applications that are not limited by their respective technology platforms.
"Developers will take the concept of the existing phone call, see it as a digital stream and innovate accordingly. Reading, transcribing, contextualizing, translating, on any connected device, using people's existing phone number - all are just the beginnings of possibility," said Geoff Hollingworth, head of Business Innovation, Ericsson North America.
The company seems to be on the right track, in terms of growth and sustainability, as they partner with big names including Volvo, AT&T, Unwired Planet and world-renowned DJ and Producer Avicii. In an industry that is expected to reach $203.8 billion or a growth of 35.5% by 2016, there is some light for Ericsson to be the game-changer without directly competing with mobile tech giants, Apple and Samsung.
At the 2013 International CES in Las Vegas, Ericsson President and CEO Hans Vestberg said that they are currently working with Volvo to produce a "Connected Vehicle Cloud" with a dashboard that is completely changed to display cloud information.
"Ericsson is a perfect partner for Volvo Car Group, bringing extensive experience and global business acumen to the table. On top of this, both companies share the same ambition to develop industry leading solutions in line with our shared vision of the future based on a networked society," said Lex Kerssemakers, Senior Vice President Product Strategy and Vehicle Line Management at Volvo Cars.
Meanwhile, Ericsson has been selected by AT&T to provide verification services for its Global SIM Program before it is launched globally. "Ericsson's global market leadership makes it a true one-stop-shop for device and application verification," said Glenn Lurie, President of Emerging Devices, Resale and Partnership of AT&T.
Despite the global headwinds that continue to shake the global market, Ericsson's slowdown in the Q4 of 2012 is reported to be more than expected. The company is expected to receive 70% of Unwired Planet's revenues after closing a 2,185 patent deal. Ericsson is also currently collaborating with Avicii to produce the world's first "crowd-sourced" hit song.
With this much activity going on in the company, Ericsson is on the right path to attracting investments and to redefining mobile technology.
