Skip to comments.Are Young Black Men Rejecting Obama? One Stat Suggests So.
Posted on 12/20/2012 7:39:23 AM PST by SeekAndFind
The number of young black men who cast a vote for the Republican presidential candidate in 2012 tripled that of 2008. Hearing this statistic, one commenter quipped, Is this one of those situations where three times nothing is still nothing?
No. Nearly 20 percent of black males under 30 voted for Romney, more than three times what McCain got. That according to Ann Coulter, who gets her information from Pew Research.
How? Why? Is there a growing number of young black conservatives?
Those stand as worthy questions. Answering them properly would require follow-up polling. Any number of factors could have informed these votes, which deviate markedly from the wider black community. At large, blacks voted 93% for Barack Obama, making it all the more fascinating to ponder why young black men trended toward the Republican candidate.
While we must wait and see if more comprehensive polling provides answers, likely influences upon the black vote hang ripe for analysis. Generally, it makes sense that the proverbial honeymoon is over. President Obamas second inauguration cannot be as historic as his first. The novelty of beholding the nations first black president has faded over time.
Of course, there must be more to our cited trend than that. If fading novelty were the only factor, we would see the trend across the entire black electorate, and not merely among young black males. What do they see that their elders dont?
For one thing, blacks fared worse under the Obama administration than in previous years. The Wall Street Journals Jason L. Riley confirms:
When the president assumed office, unemployment was 12.7% for blacks and 7.1% for whites. Today it is 14.3% for blacks and 7% for whites, which means that the black-white employment gap has not merely persisted under Mr. Obama but widened.
American Thinkers Chad Stafko adds:
[A report from the liberal Center for American Progress], released in April, shows more dismal economic conditions in the African-American community. It found that from 2009 through 2011, black minimum wage workers swelled 16.6%, while whites had only 5.2% more minimum wage workers. Not only, then, has there been a disproportionate increase in the number of African-Americans who are in the unemployment line, but there is also a greater number of blacks working for minimum wage. This surely wasn't the change African-Americans were looking for in Obama.
These results shouldnt surprise anyone. After all, the kind of change which the president and his ideological ilk continue to propose ignores the source of value, and thus the source of wealth and prosperity.
Workers of any race can earn only what they are willing to and capable of producing. The motivation and skill of the black community have not been fostered by Obamas leadership. Stafko continues:
During his nearly four years as president of the United States, Barack Obama could have used the bully pulpit of the presidency to make a real impact on the black community and address the underlying problems within it.
An order of operation leads to economic prosperity. A thriving income requires the production of abundant value, which in turn requires rational action informed by a trained mind. Opportunities for such training tend to allude children born out of wedlock with little to no paternal influence. Stafko reminds us:
So long as these social problems go unaddressed, truly progressive economic change will dangle beyond the black communitys reach. Informed by a worldview which sees government as the fountainhead of all moral good, civil rights leaders amidst the black community continue to focus on political activism as the means toward elevating black prospects. However, as The Wall Street Journals Jason L. Riley documents, political representation does not correlate with economic success:
Today, Asian-Americans are the nation's best-educated and highest-earning racial group. According to a Pew study released earlier this year, 49% of Asians age 25 and older hold bachelor's degrees, compared with 31% of whites and 18% of blacks. The median household income for Asians is $66,000, which is $12,000 more than white households and double that of black households. As with other groups, political clout has not been a precondition of Asian socioeconomic advancement.
The election of Barack Obama four years ago gave blacks bragging rights, but bragging rights can't close the black-white achievement gap in education or increase black labor-force participation or reduce black incarceration rates. A civil-rights leadership that encourages blacks to look to politicians to solve these problems is doing a disservice to the people they claim to represent.
Asians, for their part, can point to an out-of-wedlock birthrate of just 16%, the lowest of any major group and a significant factor in Asian success. The black illegitimacy rate last year was 72%. Might it be that having a black man in the Oval Office is less important for black advancement than having one in the home?
Whether young black males are increasingly cognizant of this reality remains unclear. However, we do know that a large segment of the overall black community self-identifies in categories which tend to advocate for strong families with both a mother and a father.
Not only has Obama failed to address the sorry state of families in the black community, his policy stances actively undermine the family and leave many blacks feeling less secure. Elizabeth Flock of U.S. News & World Report details:
A new study from Washington University in St. Louis finds that under Obama, many black Americans feel less free than whites when it comes to political participation.
The study found that while the election of Obama initially boosted feelings of political empowerment among black Americans, those sentiments significantly faded in the years that followedespecially among conservative and religious blacks.
These two groups make up a large segment of the black population, with 56 percent of blacks identifying as "born again," and 39 percent of blacks as "somewhat conservative," according to the study.
The question becomes whether it matters more that your president look like you than think like you. Perhaps such a query informed the young black male vote this year.
Regardless, the reality of the Obama presidency presents an unprecedented opportunity to engage the black community and explore the roots of its political loyalty. How many cycles must pass without marked improvement in the lot of black Americans before they question the methods which their leftist patrons propose? In fact, many minorities and first-generation immigrants do question those methods and are hungry for alternatives.
In recent years, an increasing segment of the conservative community in Minnesota has recognized the need to reach outside the traditional Republican comfort zone and start a conversation with minorities and immigrants about their principles and values. The effort began within the states Republican Party, with the blessing and support of then chair Tony Sutton, and was led by former state representative Dan Severson.
Unrelated turmoil within the party undermined the success of that effort, and it was officially scrapped when the cost of employing the staff to support it could no longer be prioritized. Undeterred, Severson continued to develop relationships in minority and immigrant communities. His liaisons cast light upon a reality that starkly contrasts with the mainstream racial narrative. Whether talking with Somali immigrants, Hmong refugees, or multi-generational Americans of any ethnicity, Severson found a shared value of liberty and socially conservative convictions.
After integrating his outreach into a bid for the MNGOP endorsement to challenge Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, Severson has gone on to develop the Minority Liberty Alliance, a non-profit startup poised to expand engagement in minority and immigrant communities while empowering prospective leaders with the training and support necessary to drive truly progressive change. (This author serves on the board.) While it remains a newly incorporated glimmer in its organizers eyes, the Minority Liberty Alliance has attracted support from an impressive cross-section of diverse interests. There exists a need in these communities which has gone long unfulfilled.
For black Americans, the advent of an alternative to vampiric institutions which thrive on perpetual black poverty should be welcome news. Leftist non-profit organizations which claim to serve the black community and advocate for progressive change succeed only so long as their constituency continues to fail. Were blacks to meet with actual success, become better educated, deeply motivated, and increasingly wealthy, many of these left-leaning non-profits would be out of business. That truth prompts Minneapolis-based conservative activist and black commentator Don Allen to label such groups as poverty pimps.
Perhaps further analysis of the 2012 election results will shed a brighter light on whether young black males are tired of getting slapped around by these organizations' empty promises and false premises. In the meantime, conservative and libertarian activists must dare to venture into minority domains and present a true path to prosperity.
More from Walter Hudson at PJ Lifestyle:
Who the heck cares?????
The inauguration is next month. It's over. Popular support? That stuff is for suckers. He means to rule over us, and he doesn't care what you think, and he doesn't care what Lamont on the projects thinks either.
I think there is a subset that is highly embarrassed that the First Black President is doing such a lousy job. These guys admire fantastically successful black men (RG III, Michael Jordan, Will Smith, etc.) Obama by comparison is a fustercluck, and I think at some level it embarrasses them.
2 things. Whatever, I've seen the statistics. and too late even if it mattered.
So what if they are? Damage is done. There'll be plenty of "rejection" and "buyers remorse" in a few months. These articles are a nuisance more than anything.
Who cares?
Obama is already re-elected and most of them will still support the next Democrat commie-pinko to come along.
I'm the product of a single-parent household. My mother raised my brother and me through our entire young lives, and despite her best efforts, we both took different paths in life.
I endeavored to not be in the same situation as my mother when I was older. I wanted to be the best damn father I could be, because my father wasn't. I endeavored to be better-educated, better-employed, and overall a better person than what my upbringing would've normally provided. I eschewed the statistics, graduated from college, worked through my career, and I'm a successful 32 year old man with a newly-wed wife and a great life ahead of me.
Contrast that to my brother who got mixed in with the wrong crowd in high school despite being an exceptional athlete. His grades faltered, he barely got his GED, he started drinking heavily, smoking pot, and then got into pills. Now he's coming up on his 30th birthday, is in the county jail detox for felony trafficking of controlled substances and has a very long, rough road ahead of him to right his life.
I think despite the statistics, there are black men and women out there who strive for everything they can to be better people. Society might put them down for their race, they've been doing it for centuries, but they push and they push and they continue to persevere until they are fine, upstanding citizens with just as much respect and admiration for their lives and their families as any white, Asian, or Hispanic man.
These are the men and women who I see leaving Obama: the men and women who don't believe the pablum being puked by this race-baiting huckster, and who want to live lives free of government intervention and free to make decisions for themselves. Obama doesn't represent freedom. He's the Pied Piper leading a bunch of rats with a fife song of "Merrily We're Entitled" as he dances them all back to the shackles so many of their predecessors worked their entire lives to reverse.
Not all of them are living with their eyes closed. For many blacks, I believe, they see that not only are they worse off than when Barack the Magic Negro took office, they're destined for slavery to the government.
This is good news. In 10 more election cycles, Mr Obama may receive a minority of the black male vote and his presidency could be in trouble.
Whoop te doo.....Like everyone else Obama has used and will throw under the bus they will only come to realize and regret helping him to power later. Sadly I think the people in CT will only realize they were a pawn to Obama's gun control obsession too late. Why people keep trusting Barry when they should see the long line of people he has stepped on to get where he is confuses me....
I do not believe this. I would like to see some evidence for this statement.
Juan Williams's sons are republican. Jesse Jackson's son is in the looney bin probably driven crazy by his dad's race baiting. Could be that the kids are embarrassed by their folk's racism. They hear it, but they don't see it.
Even the French are figuring out that taxing the rich isn't the utopian answer.
It is probably that not many black males under 30 voted at all, so those who actually bothered to do so are a bit more politically astute than their peers. If young black male turnout matched overall black turnout, the percentages of Obama and Romney voters would be the same.
This past summer I traveld extensively in the south on business. I was shocked by the number of younger black men who were very conservative in their outlook. I met many who were outright hostile towards Obama. I cannot describe these guys as anything other than black rednecks. The redneck type who has a family, works hard, drives a truck, and is independent. They also tend to be men of faith and are active in church.
I have to say I was shocked by the number of blacks and whites hanging out together after work at redneck sports bars.
ridiculous.. didn't he win the black vote by 95 % or close?
I don't buy one single bit of any of these polls or stats from now on...
they are all agenda driven to sell a point of view of the person requesting the poll.
last election proved just how useless they are.
Thank you for your insightful comments. We desperately need more people like you, and guys like Tim Scott, RGIII, Loyd Marcus, etc.
I have long wondered where such men are and why they haven't been more vocal. America needs you. The Black community desperately needs you.
The Pew Poll, where all these numbers are based had Obama winning 93% of the black vote over all.
98% of the black female vote under 30
And 80% of the black male vote under 30.
I think I remember that in the over 30 crowd there was very little gender gap among blacks.
Support this movie, share with others, break the narrative, and welcome our fellow home Americans homes.
In every devisive, conservatives need to welcome the conversation and clearly state the truth. Truth is what matters.

HOPE ON WHEELS: From left, Tom O'Brien, of the O'Brien Auto Group, Sweetser, Howard Weinstein, MD, chief of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology, and Peter DiPersia, Northeast regional manager for Hyundai AmericaSeptember is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In honor of this month, Hyundai Hope on Wheels --a united effort among Hyundai dealers to raise awareness about childhood cancer and celebrate the lives of children battling the disease --presented a $100,000 check to MassGeneral Hospital for Children's (MGHfC) Center for Pediatric Hematology-Oncology to support the pediatric cancer research of David Sweetser, MD, PhD. Sweetser accepted the check on behalf of the hospital at an event Sept. 13 in The Howard Ulfelder, MD, Healing Garden.
In his remarks, Sweetser said that he plans to use the donation to better understand the causes of cancer and to help discover novel therapies that would improve cure rates in both children and adults. The treatments that his laboratory are developing also hold the promise of being less toxic for patients than traditional chemotherapies.
Following the check presentation Hyundai representatives toured the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Unit, to see how the state-of-the-art technology, soothing artwork and interiors, and comprehensive care teams all contribute to the process of healing a sick child. The event concluded with stories shared by patients currently undergoing cancer treatment by the MGHfC pediatric oncology team.

GOP: White House "fiscal cliff" idea "a joke"
The White House made an offer to House Republicans today to avert the fiscal cliff that Republican aides familiar with the talks panned as "a joke", "an insult" and "a complete break from reality."
A Republican aide familiar with the offer that was presented to House Speaker John Boehner by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and White House congressional liason Rob Nabors confirmed that the $4 trillion package would raise $1.6 trillion in tax revenue up front. Republicans call that number too high and extreme to be offering two weeks into negotiations with a just a month left before the deadline.
- Boehner: "No substantive progress" on "fiscal cliff" talks
- "Fiscal cliff": It's more than just taxes
In exchange for the added tax revenue, Democrats would give in on $400 billion in spending cuts from entitlement programs like Medicare and an aide said those cuts would not be immediate. Boehner slammed that number right after the meeting at a press conference though he would not say what the number should be.
"Unfortunately many Democrats continue to rule out spending cuts that must be part of any significant agreement that will reduce our deficit" Boehner said.
The package would be structured in such a way that some tax increases would happen now and tax reform would happen next year. Tax rates for the wealthiest two percent would go up immediately.
The offer, according to Republicans, would also include $50 billion in stimulus spending in the form of infrastructure projects, an extension of unemployment benefits and a extension of the two percent payroll tax break.
The White House would also like to avoid future fights over raising the debt ceiling by taking it out of Congress altogether. While Congress could act to block a debt limit increase, it would not be necessary for Congress to approve one.
One Republican aide expressed outrage that the White House would ask for that with no reforms attached at all. Earlier today, Boehner said, that "there is a lot of things that I have wanted in my life but almost all of them had a price tag attached to them.
"If we're going to talk about the debt limit in this, then there is going to be some price tag associated with it."
Democrats have been equally critical of Republicans in negotiations so far saying that Republicans have not put a real revenue offer on the table since they have not said how much money they'd be willing to put to the deficit through tax revenue.
"Right now, the only thing preventing us from reaching a deal that averts the fiscal cliff and avoids a tax hike on 98 percent of Americans is the refusal of Congressional Republicans to ask the very wealthiest individuals to pay higher tax rates," Deputy White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in a written statement.
"The President has already signed into law over $1 trillion in spending cuts and we remain willing to do tough things to compromise, and it's time for Republicans in Washington to join the chorus of other voices - from the business community to middle class Americans across the country - who support a balanced approach that asks more from the wealthiest Americans."
Despite the appearance of talks breaking down today, Boehner said he's still optimistic a deal can be reached.
The White House's Nabors also seemed determined to keep talking.
"We're going to keep working with folks just like we have been and, you know, we'll make progress."

Outlaws slip past Rails in first round of playoffs
The Moose Lake Outlaws slipped past the Proctor Rails by a score of 4-3 in first round playoff action in Moose Lake on Sunday, July 21. Charlie Adamczak earned the win on the mound and Teddy Ryan a pitching save. The Outlaws were out-hit 10-5 in the game. Hits were by Jesse Granfors, Hunter Halverson, David Moonen and Joey Whited.
A line out to third began the game and a walk followed before a fly out to Hunter Halverson in left field. A bounce back to the box ended Proctor's at-bat as they stranded one runner.
Ryan flied out to deep, dead center, and Halverson fanned. Brad Fossom rolled a curve to the right side as the Outlaws went down 1-2-3.
Granfors made a great play on a backhanded stab deep in the hole from short and one-hopped the very long throws to first to nip the runner. A walk and a single to left made it runners on first and second. A walk loaded the bases, but Adamczak and the Outlaws escaped on a force out at second as the Rails stranded three runners.
Clean-up Rex Janke bounced to short and Granfors walked. With Whited up, Granfors stole second. Whited's bouncers down third became the Outlaws first hit on the infield single. Moonen, the Outlaws' designated hitter, came up with runners on the corners and a steal made it runners on second and third. Moonen came through with a nice RBI single up the middle for 1-0. Wyatt Lampel was caught looking, but Zach Schwarzbauer's drive to third was an error and scored two for 3-0 before Ryan hit into a force out.
A single whistled past Adamczak's ear and a wild pitch allowed the runner to take second. A sharply hit single to the right side put runners on the corners. A throw down to second for an out was traded for a run and 3-1. A walk followed and a chopper with a very high hop up the middle was Proctor's fourth hit. A force at second was a good play. Fossum made a fine play to block a wild pitch an got the out on a close play at home as Proctor got just one and stranded two.
Halverson drove a first pitch to right, but it was an out. Fossom was watching. Janke reached on an error at short on a low throw to first. Granfors sliced a single the opposite way for the Outlaws second hit, but Whited popped to third and it stated 3-1 as the Outlaws stranded two.
The Rails got successive singles to lead off the top of the fourth and a sacrifice bunt moved the runners to second and third. A ground out to short followed as there was no slide at home. Fossom had stood his ground, took a wallop and the ball was jarred loose, but the runner was out by rule as no attempt to slide had been and it stayed 3-1. A pop foul to third was an out as Schwarzbauer smartly called off Adamczak to make the good play as the Rails stranded two and got none.
Moonen walked. Lampel's high pop to the pitcher was dropped and Moonen was hung out to dry at second as he had retreated toward first on what seemed would be an obvious out. Schwarzbauer grounded to second. Ryan reached on a liner to short that was misplayed, but Halverson grounded to first and the locals stranded two to keep it 3-1.
A drive to the right side was an out. A blast to center that ailed was misplayed for an error that became a triple of sorts. A hit followed for an RBI and 3-2 as Proctor closed the gap. A walk by Adamczak loaded the bases and Ryan came in for a potential save. Ryan did a great job, fanning the first he faced and freezing the next he faced as Proctor stranded three.
Fossom flied to left. Janke fanned. Granfors chopped back to the box as the Rails notched a 1-2-3 inning.
A fly went to Halverson, now in center field. Ryan walked one. Schwarzbauer, who was in on the grass, made quite a one hop scoop and the Rails stranded the walked runner.
Whited hopped to third and Moonen watched strike three. Lampel was hit by a pitch and a wild pitch moved him to second, but Schwarzbauer fanned and, with the runner stranded in scoring position, it stayed 3-2 through six innings.
A single, sizzled down third, was Proctors' ninth hit and a steal preceded Ryan's third K. A fly the opposite way was an error, but a seeing-eye trickled between second and first for an RBI and a tie at 3-3. Ryan got his fourth K on a looker.
Ryan hurtled out an infield single for the local's third hit. Halverson's fantastic bunt down third and in between the mound became a single and the Outlaws had runners at first and second with Granfors coming to the plate. A wild pitch was trouble as the runners moved to second and third. Granfors very well-hit grounder behind second was booted and the winning run cross the plate. The Outlaws had been out-hit 10-4 but had slipped past Proctor with a 4-3 win.

BERKELEY — When United States Postal Service representatives meet with the community Feb. 26 on plans to sell the 99-year-old downtown post office, they'll be greeted Berkeley-style with an appearance by Ben Franklin, the first U.S. Postmaster (channeled by monologuist Josh Kornbluth), music — with new words to "Mr. Postman" — and strong arguments against the sale.
The community meeting is set for 7 p.m. at the Maudelle Shirek Building, 2134 Martin Luther King Jr. Way. Citizens to Save the Berkeley Post Office will rally outside at 6 p.m.
The meeting is part of the USPS mandate to seek community input before formally putting property up for sale. Also, before any sale, USPS must work with the state Office of Historical Preservation to determine what parts of the landmarked building a new owner must preserve.
Harvey Smith, spokesman for Citizens to Save the Berkeley Post Office, called the proposed sale a "theft of public property." Post offices for sale across the country "have been paid for by our parents, grandparents or great-grandparents," Smith said.
Postal officials contend, however, that property sales, reduced postal hours, consolidation of sorting facilities, elimination of Saturday mail and outsourcing trucking jobs are necessary in face of the billions of dollars USPS loses every year.
"Since 2008, when we suffered through a severe economic recession, the big businesses cut back on the use of the mail," USPS spokesman Augustine Ruiz Jr. said, adding that electronic mail has had "a significant impact on our first-class volume, which is the premium product and brings in the most revenue."
There is also a $5.5 billion dollar annual payment Congress has required of USPS since 2006 to prefund 75 years of retirement benefits, and billions of dollars USPS has overpaid into the federal retirement system, Ruiz said.
Smith and Ruiz say Congress should authorize reimbursement of overpayments and reverse the requirement to prepay retirement benefits.
Smith, however, contends that cutting postal hours, selling post offices and eliminating Saturday deliveries will degrade services. That will "cripple the post office to the point where people will say, 'It's totally nonfunctional — we should privatize it,'" Smith said. "In the process, they'll also bust the postal unions."
Conservative think tanks, such as the Cato Institute, have been pushing post office privatization for years, Smith said.
Cutting Saturday deliveries will result in 25,000 fewer jobs, according to the National Association of Letter Carriers.
"The problem is that, in the situation of our economy, we need more jobs not less," Smith said.
But Ruiz said workforce cuts help the bottom line.
"If we're able to go to a five-day delivery, that will save us $2.2 billion," he said, noting USPS has already "reduced our overall employee complement by 193,000."
Most postal contracts do not permit layoffs once an employee has worked for five years, so most of the job losses were through attrition and early retirement.
African Americans have found less discrimination in public sector employment and represent about 20 percent of the USPS workforce. That means the black community is disproportionately impacted by postal job reductions. In a Feb. 7 statement opposing cuts to Saturday mail delivery, Rep. Barbara Lee wrote, "For years, being a letter carrier has been a critical pathway into the middle class for African Americans, including my grandfather, who was a proud USPS letter carrier for 35 years."
Arguing for the sale of Berkeley's downtown post office, Ruiz explained that the postal service uses just 4,000 square feet of the 57,000-square-foot building. USPS hopes a buyer will lease the retail space back to the post office, he said.
But Smith said it doesn't make sense to pay rent for a building the post office now owns. USPS should lease out unused portions of the building, he said.
However, without congressional approval, the post office cannot lease out space or participate in revenue-enhancing ventures such as banking, envelope sales or shipping beer and wine.
While Smith and Ruiz disagree on the Berkeley post office sale, both say it's up to Congress to save the postal service.
"The post office is not dying," Ruiz said. "It's really on life support. But we need some oxygen from Congress to keep us going."

I need to calculate $\int_0^{\infty}{\frac{\ln x}{1+x^n}}$ $,n\geq2$ using complex analysis. I probably need to use the Residue Theorem.
I use the function $f(z)={\frac{\ln z}{1+z^n}}$ in the normal branch.
I've tried to use this contour.
Where $\theta$ is an angle so that only $z_{0}$ will be in the domain (I hope this is clear from the drawing)
I estimated $|\int_{\Gamma_{R}}|$ and $|\int_{\Gamma_{\epsilon}}|$ and showed that they must tend to $0$ when $\epsilon \rightarrow0$ and $R \rightarrow\infty$. (Is it true?)
However I'm having trouble calculating $\int_{\Gamma_{2}}$ . Does it have something to do with choosing the "right" $\theta$?
Any ideas?
After Christopher's comment I chose $\theta=\frac{2\pi}{n}$ which gives, after the paramatrization $\Gamma (t) = te^{\frac{2\pi i}{n}}$, $t\in(\epsilon,R)$:
$$\int_{\Gamma_{2}}{\frac{\ln z}{1+z^n}dz} = \int_{\epsilon}^{R}{\frac{\ln (te^\frac{2\pi i}{n})}{1+t^n}e^\frac{2\pi i}{n}dt} = e^\frac{2\pi i}{n}\int_{\epsilon}^{R}{\frac{\ln t}{1+t^n}dt} + ie^\frac{2\pi i}{n}\int_{\epsilon}^{R}{\frac{\frac{2\pi}{n}}{1+t^n}dt} =$$ $$ = e^\frac{2\pi i}{n}\int_{0}^{\infty}{\frac{\ln t}{1+t^n}dt} + ie^\frac{2\pi i}{n}\int_{0}^{\infty}{\frac{\frac{2\pi}{n}}{1+t^n}dt} $$
But I have no idea how to deal with the second integral.

Nou La is we are here.
Tomorrow is our last day in Hinche. I feel like the time has flown by. I feel like I haven't posted enough. I feel less of an observer, recorder than the two previous visits. We are in the groove with life in Hinche—St. Therese at night, the orphanage during the day; bumpy rides in the pink jeep, halting Kreyol that makes me feel like I am tripping over myself when I open my mouth. Dina says this is not true and she is impressed that I am speaking in "paragraphs." Dina tells jokes in Kreyol, so we are even.
The first two births of last night's shift came within 15 minutes of our arrival. Two healthy babies. Then, I slept. Earlier in the day, I had travelled to Port Au Prince with Genette, the young and inspired clinical director who I am trying to bring to the MANA conference. We left Hinche at 4am to arrive in Port Au Prince by 6:30. We went to the US embassy to try to get her passport. It is always by appointment only at the embassy. Even so, there is a long line that you need to wait in. I had come along, hoping that I could speak on her behalf and confirm her reasons for travel. But, I didn't have an appointment. Either did Genette. Her appointment had been last Friday, the day that the "hurricane" was supposed to pass through. The day they closed the embassy. She had heard on the radio that all those with Friday appointments needed to arrive on Wednesday for their rescheduled appointment.
I worked my way up the line for Americans and simply told them that I had had an appointment on Friday that was cancelled and that was why I didn't have an appointment for today. They let me through the security gate and I passed onto American soil.
The American embassy is a solid-looking structure compared to all the other cement and rebar buildings in Haiti. It looked like the outside was granite and the doors were heavy glass. Inside it was air-conditioned, clean and electronic. Each person hoping for a visa needs to get in line to speak with one of the cashiers. The cashiers sit on the other side of a glass window and speak to you through an intercom. It is here that I learned that today's rescheduled visits were only for Immigrant visas – not the kind we were looking for for Genette.
I told the cashier my story: that we had come a long way; that I am leaving on Saturday; that I want to be here for the appointment. Isn't there some way that she can be seen today? No. You will need to send us an email to try to expedite her appointment. But who receives those emails? Can't I just talk to them today? No. You will need to send an email. Can I speak to a supervisor? Oh, you were supposed to have an appointment on Friday, the day of the hurricane? Then, you will need to send an email. You see where this was going.
Strike one. Not out yet though. Genette never even made it through the security gate. To take advantage of our trip to PAP, I asked Genette's brother Gito, who had driven us to PAP, if he could show me the Neg Mawon. It is a famous statue outside of the President's palace in Petionville. The Neg Mawon symbolizes the freed slave who was now marooned on this tropical island. It is a symbol of strength and commitment for the Haiti people.
I also saw the damaged presidential palace.
After a small bite to eat, we headed home. When I arrived back at Maison Fortune, I sent an email.
Needless to say, I was tired that night, and, after our first two births, I slept for 4 hours. Soon after I woke up, a woman came in with a small hand peaking out of her vagina. This was not good news in any way. She was only 30 weeks pregnant, dangerously premature. The baby was thought to be in a transverse position, but as the baby began it's descent to be born, the hand retreated and a small rump appeared. The staff midwife and the students could not find a heart beat, so the baby was presumed dead.
With a stillbirth in a breech position, the students know that the best thing is patience and to let the birth proceed at it's own pace. The baby's limp and lifeless body slowly emerged. There is always a point in a breech birth that looks odd because the body is out and the head is still inside the mother. With a complete lack of muscle tone, the baby's body slowly crumpled in a small heap as we waited for the head to be born. Then, a small convulsion of the baby's body. Was that for real? Is this baby alive and fighting for life? It happened again. Yes, this was a faint sign of life in a baby that we thought was no longer living. But truly, this movement was only a reflexive action of the baby's nervous system. There was no muscle tone, no reflexes, when the baby was finally born, no breathing effort.
So here was the flip side of the coin of our experience with the baby, Miracle. Was this baby in need of a massive resuscitation effort that couldn't be sustained and that would ultimately not save the baby's life? Was a day or two of living worth the effort? This baby was unresponsive, not breathing, unconscious, but had a slow heartbeat. Without words, we all knew that this baby wouldn't make it. It was too early, too difficult a delivery, too far gone. We were the ones who had to suffer through the 20 minutes of its short life. Who gets to decide who lives and dies? Is a massive, heroic American effort to resuscitate a baby the right thing to do when there is absolutely no ongoing care here for premies? Even if the baby were to live, the risk of brain damage is great. Is it fair to ask an already impoverished family to take on child that will always be a burden? The answers are impossible to know, so instead you go with your gut. For me, I knew that this baby wouldn't make it and that instead, it might be better to have the mother just hold the baby for the few minutes of its life. Except in Haiti, most mothers don't even look at their babies that are born healthy and alive. The mother declined the offer to hold her baby.
We wrapped the baby in a small, blue surgical towel, giving some semblance of comfort. The baby lived for 20 minutes and never made a breathing effort except for its spasmodic, occasional agonal breaths. Later, the mother stood in her white mesh "culotte," unsure of the next steps when you are leaving the maternity ward empty handed. It was her first baby.
The next, and final, baby of the night was born healthy, if not full of drama. The mother was reluctant to open her legs and was quite loud in her travail. The mother's name is Darling and she named her baby girl, Guerline. She smiled when I asked to take a photo of her and her baby. A moment of pride.

Why you do it: There is no one in market that can help small to mid sized high growth businesses management of their complete back office and costs. She helps them lower their break even points so they can become more profitable.
Personality: She forms partnerships with her clients. She is effective and efficient, very tech savvy, while personalizing solutions for each individual client. Works with students as well as savvy businesses. She has been told by several clients that she helps keep them "grounded" and close to reality. She becomes a trusted adviser to her clients, helping them to understand and navigate the in's and out's of actually running their businesses. The businesses she works with have the ideas for their "dreams", she helps them get there, quicker and more efficiently.
New business start ups as well as high growth, ambitious businesses looking to grow. A business looking to use her to control their back office so they can focus on the actual business itself. She becomes almost a part-time CFO. She helps businesses to strategize and grow.
Feel free to be creative but we are looking to get across the part time CFO aspect, the fact that she can keep businesses grounded in reality while helping them to achieve their financial and business goals.
She likes the colors purple and lime green. Please include her tag line of Measure, Manage and Grow in the logo.
Please use your imagination but please DON'T come back with all money symbols and calculators, etc. for the logo.
The word Incube (she works like an incubator while pulling in other areas). She gets all of the resources in order (as their part-time CFO) so they work together and help the companies she works with become more efficient and more profitable.
It needs to be branded for small to mid-sized businesses - the big businesses have this person on their staff, the businesses she works with have her on a part-time basis.

Pin requirements incorrect
Possible typo: According to the 2010 edition (2nd printing) of the Academics and Sports Program Guide, (I have the hard copy in front of me and have confirmed with BSA that it is the most recent release as of 1st quarter 2011), the Physical Fitness pin requirements are 5 of 8, not 5 of 9. They do not have what is listed here as #1 ("Make a diagram of the Food Guide Pyramid.") Maybe it was dropped because it overlaps with some Nutrition requirements? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Symphonitron (talk • contribs) May 4, 2011. (Please, sign and date your posts on talk pages.)
- This still hasn't been fixed... http://moorescouting.org/Forms/Handbooks/Academics%20and%20Sports%20Program%20Guide%2034299.pdf shows that the one listed as "1. Make a diagram of the Food Guide Pyramid. List foods you ate in a week and show where they fit in the pyramid." is NOT a requirement or an option for the Physical Fitness Sports Pin.

- Done. (Please let me know if you see any errors. Thanks.) —RWSmith (Bureaucrat), 15:31, September 10, 2012 (EDT)

Trash Talkin' with Vikings Gab
As Franklin and I say, the first time a man faces a Packer Ranter is usually their last. You be the judge. Below is an abbreviated version. For the whole smackoff, here's the story.
RG: I've been asked to tell you why the Packers will win MNF. The answer is seventy-fold. No ones knows #4 better than GB – his history, his tendencies, even his tendinitis (both knees, elbows and right thumb, btw). After his best game last year, Favre began a streak of nasty INTs that left Jets fans feeling as though they've been roofied. What great timing that the Packers come into the Dome as the top ballhawks in the NFL.
AW: For the most part I agree on your Favre take. But let's face it, this is an important game to Brett, and he has a way of winning those "special" games. Unfortunately for the Packers, however, Brett Favre does not make or break these Vikings. With players like Adrian Peterson, Visanthe Shiancoe, Percy Harvin, E.J. Henderson, Antoine Winfield, Jared Allen, and the WilliamsWall, our quarterback truly is only part of what makes this team win football games.
RG: If Favre doesn't make or break the Vikings, why didn't you stick with T-Jack? Are you now suggesting it was a giant PR stunt to sell jerseys and season tickets? Yes, you've got some playmakers and I can't take anything away from Peterson. Much like Alf, he is other-worldly (except that time we hurt him during a 34-0 thrashing in '07… hehe). But you followed your list of Vikings playmakers after AP with Shiancoe though? Really? Mr. Six Catches for 49 yards Shiancoe? Pretty sure #81 wouldn't even make our squad.
AW: You pretty much summed up exactly why I think the Vikings got Brett Favre. Don't under estimate Shiancoe, either. He's itching for a big game. And don't let Adrian's few (very few) struggles in his rookie year make you think you have some sort of way to stop him. There is no way to stop him, and if you try he'll just run you over. Just ask Al Harris. Better send McCarthy some Tylenol, because he's going to have quite the headache trying to figure out a game plan for this one. Or does he even do game plans anymore?
RG: I thought the entire state was already planning for #4's Viking HOF induction. Mark it down as just another chapter in the never-ending "How Not to Run an Organization" saga, aka the Zygmunt Wilf story. As far as Shiancoe goes, I think he's been itching for a big game his entire career. I know it's something foreign to you, but our QB can do more than just throw (Favre) or just run (Jackson). So even if the Turbo Lax Williams boys squeak though, Rodgers can make a play on his feet. I even took your advice and Al Harris still feels bad about tearing the AP's LCL in '07.
AW: Tell Al not to worry, #28 is an incredibly forgiving guy. Even cheap shots from has-beens don't keep Adrian from churning out the yards. Any day I'd take Wilf over your "share holders" and incompetent putz Ted Thompson. Luck or no luck, we didn't lose to a team as crappy as the Bungles and the Packers have. We are winning more games, scoring more points, and giving up fewer points than the Pack. That's all I need to know to think the Vikes have the edge.
RG: Sure, bring Wario on over! They're opening a new wing of the Pro Shop and we need a good PR guy. And while he's here, he can stop by Lambeau and take notes on the greatest stadium (and fans) in the NFL and list them under "Things The Vikings Will Never Have." Instead of inflating victories against three of the worst teams from last year, let me remind you that GB has owned MN as of late, winning 5 out of the last 6.
Robert's Prediction: Packers 24, Vikings 20
Adam's Prediction: Vikings 34, Packers 27

Can I add that four of those six games that the Packers beat the Vikings...Brett Lorenzo Favre was the QB! What's your argument now?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 1, 2009 at 1:57 PM
Fear not, Melissa. I'm sure #4 will still find a way to get the Packers a victory.ReplyDelete
As much as I hate to give any Vikings fan credit the "Share holders" photo is hilarious.ReplyDelete
But in all reality this game will be decided by the all important turn-over and the Packer's swiss cheese like offensive line limiting the Vikings to maybe only 4 sacks.
Vikings Suck!
Last time I checked Cinci is 4-1 and should be 5-0 and have beat two AFC playoff teams from last year. Vikings wont be able to beat them either!!ReplyDelete

Discover How Our Escort Marketing and Promotion Can Help you Reach No.1 on Google,
Resulting in Thousands of NEW Clients to Your Site Each & Every Month!
Effective Research
We spend a lot of time researching, site history, keyword profitability, competition etc. Once we've collected ALL the information we need... we develop a campaign strategy. Which we base our initial work upon. Our research then continues through out the campaign, as we start to see results via tracking and traffic reports.
One Way Link Building
Each one of our campaigns involves an intense one way link building campaign. We use the most up to date methods to manually submit your links to many sites across the net. Links coming into you site will pass you 'Page Rank', which will result in getting a better status in the eyes of Google.
On-site Optimisation
We develop in-depth reports that cover every aspect of your site that could affect your ranks in google. We are here to help with advise and information, to ensure your site is search engine friendly.
Escorts SEO can rank escort websites in any market
Welcome to Escorts SEO. We're here to help you make search engine optimization in the Escort industry something that is easy to achieve, understand and more importantly is affordable to you. Escort Agencies pile thousands of pounds a year into escort advertising. We are here to help you reach the FREE organic search placement. Which delivers HIGHLY targeted visitors to your site day after day.
With more than 10 years of experience, in Escort Promotion, seo and advertising, we have become experts in organic search engine listings and our team of professionals are more than qualified to ensure that your Escorting web site is positioned on the first page of Google for your selected keywords in less than 4 months. We have achieved first page ranking in many markets, such as; Las Vegas Escorts, Miami Escorts, and Manhattan Escorts with our escort agency network website RideWorks.
Get Ahead of Your Competition
Escorting is one of the most fiercely competitive industries on the web and the harsh truth is, you are competing against thousands of other agencies, directories and independent escorts. ALL striving to achieve that elusive no.1 position on Google (and Yahoo, Bing, Ask etc). And unfortunately this largely results in many escorting websites/businesses failing. Don't allow your business to fail.
Achieving your desired position on Google is not an easy thing to do... The web contains a myriad of information covering Search Engine Optimizing (90% of it is old out of date information and totally irrelevant to today's SERP requirements). If you had the time, to teach yourself SEO, you could attempt the techniques yourself and hope for the best. The problem is... the web, search engines and their algorithms are constantly changing. So there's no guarantee that the information, is the most up to date and relevant. That's why savvy website owners turn to us. We created a website about the best Las Vegas strip clubs, out ranking every local strip club website. That's huge! Because they have existing history, and power. Plus the options to even get local and social links, when an outsider has much more trouble. This helps prove our success, more than anything so far.
We Constantly Develop Our Strategies
We build and develop SEO campaigns each and every day... and KNOW what works and what doesn't! Our Escort SEO webmasters use the most up to date search engine optimization techniques and continuously research and analyse the Escort sector to identify the very best SEO techniques available to ensure YOU get the best possible rankings.
Continuous search engine optimisation is essential to remain ahead of your competition and it's not possible to successfully compete within the escort industry without it. A Professional, In-Depth SEO Campaign is essential to ensure you maximise your exposure and marketing efforts. No longer will you need to rely on paying to gain work from third party Escort Directories. If you can maintain high ranking positions within the search engines you will ensure that your web site receives continuous targeted traffic, resulting in 100's of NEW bookings each month.
For more information regarding our adult SEO services. Or simply get in contact with our Las Vegas Internet Marketing company right now to find out how we will take the entire headache out of driving free traffic to your site via the power of the Search Engines...
Also - Check Out Our Other Services…
Escort Mobile Apps and Websites
With the undeniable fact that the world is going mobile, you can't hide from the fact that a LOT of internet traffic is now coming from mobile devices (Click here to find out exactly how much). At Escorts SEO we spend a lot of time and resources driving traffic to escort sites. But in the last year we've realised that much of this traffic is getting wasted, due to the fact that people would rather use sites / service that supply a more user friendly way to search for escorts via a mobile phone (i.e. they are going to your competitors!). We don't like to see good quality traffic go to waste, so we created our Escort App Design service. We can build either a native android app OR simply a mobile version of your existing site (to work on all mobile devices) quickly and extremely cost effectively.
Escort Website Design
We have a team of talented designers and coders at our disposal… and it would be shame to not use them to their full potential… and that's why we have decided to set up a web design service. We've got the in-house expertise to build any kind of web presence… from small independent escort sites, right up to large agencies and directories. All beautiful, classy, modern and built using the latest technology.

Fresh Vision necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 8 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
Prodigal Government
I'll be putting a book called "Prodigal Government" on Amazon.com in July. I'm a free-market activist working closely with the Ron Paul style tea party movement and I study political movements in my every day life.
Ron Paul type, libertarian tea party activists and free-market advocates.
This is NOT a need for a full scale book cover design. This is essentially a call for the "concept" that will be used as an icon on the presale website. If you're a good artist to work with during this contest, perhaps we can discuss future possibilities of the full book cover design (more detailed files, dimensions, bar code area, etc).
Right now I just need a PNG that can be properly re-sized to 348 wide by 467 high. I'm attaching a sample of the scale and scope I'm looking for with this image.
Please the attachment as a fairly precise angle and dimension of the image I want to use.
The title is: THE PRODIGAL GOVERNMENT
Sub-title is: And the PATRIOT MOVEMENT that stands in its way
I'm very much open to creative freedom on this. I love mellow "Obama Blue" style design and would prefer go that direction as far as color schemes are concerned.
I would also like to see a blended rally crowd or something similar included in the design.
At either the very top or very bottom of the design it should have a place for the "By Author Name"

Using Recursion
Recursion is a topic that scares a lot of people in the beggining, but it is not as difficult as one might think. All recursion is is a function or method that calls itself. Here we'll take a look at what recursion is, how it is used, and what some of the common pitfalls with recursion are.
Recursion is a tool that beautifully handles a certain set of problems. You may not use it that much as a programmer, but its always good to know how you can use it if the need should arise. Also, it is a common question in job interviews and a subject that every programmer must learn in school.
Recursion- Defined by Webster's.
3: a computer programming technique involving the use of a procedure, subroutine, function, or algorithm that calls itself one or more times until a specified condition is met at which time the rest of each repetition is processed from the last one called to the first compare iteration
Factorial- Defined by Webster's.
Factorial - Wikipedia article.
1: the product of all the positive integers from 1 to n symbol n!
Stack Overflow Exception
Stack Overflow Exception - MSDN listing of the stack overflow exception class and explains this is generally a recursion problem.
The exception that is thrown when the execution stack overflows because it contains too many nested method calls. This class cannot be inherited.
Note: All examples were created using Visual Studio 2010, targetting the .NET Framework 4.0. We'll do our best to point out anything that might not work in older versions.
Using Recursion
Recursion is nothing more than a function or method that calls itself. There is really not anything complicated to it. Probably the most complicated part about it is "when to use it".
In school they usually teach recursion by having you write a program to calculate Factorials because this is a fairly simple example of what recursion is good for. In fact, it may be a little too simple in that it does not demonstrate that you can have multiple parameters being passed when you do recursion and also you kind of miss the point that recursion is very good at "climbing trees", which is something we will look at later.
Below I have some example code demonstrating how to calculate Factorials using recursion. You should look at the definition of Factorials first if you are not familiar with Factorials, so that you get an idea of what it is here that the program is supposed to do. But basically, a factorial is just a number multiplied by all of the integers lower than itself. So, 5 factorial is 5*4*3*2*1 = 120.
The code starts in Main, of course - as this is a console app, and then asks the user for a number. Factorials by definition cannot be calculated on 0 or negative numbers. So, we will exit the program if zero is selected and give an error message if a negative number is selected. I've also excluded any number higher than 20, because - as you can see - the numbers become astronmical very quickly and even the long data type cannot hold the results too much higher than that.
The method named Factorial is our recursion method.
The Factorial method ends the recursion if the number submitted is 1 and returns 1 as a result. This is what is called a base case it is the case that stops the recursion and therefore is the end, or base, of the recursion. Not having a base case that ends the recursion is the primary cause of the dreaded "stack overflow exception".
If the number submitted is not 1, then it does recursion and calls itself. First, it gets the next number to be submitted and calls itself with that number. It is important to notice that it will multiply the result with the current number. But the important thing to notice there is that this multiplication takes place after the result comes back.
There are two directions of travel here and that is one thing that often confuses people. Recursion travels from the "root" to the "tip" and then back again from the "tip" to the "root". Whether something is calculated on the way out or on the way back in is determined by whether the operation happens before or after the recursive method is called. In this example, the multiplication actually happens on the way back even though its written as part of the same line, because it happens after the recursive call. And this is what we need to happen, because we cannot do the multiplication until we have the answer from the method call.
Eventually, the next number will keep getting smaller and smaller until it reaches 1 and then the function will not call itself, but it will return the number 1 without calling itself. At that point, it travels back out towards the root executing any code after the line in the method where the function called itself. A lot of people do not realize that the recursion travels in both directions as it goes out to the base case and then back through every call that was made until it comes back and returns from the original call to the method.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace Factorial { class Program { //We define a method that returns type long integer, and it takes in a long integer which is the number we will enter for which we want to calculate the factorial. public static long Factorial(long Number) { long ReturnValue; long NextNumber; NextNumber = Number - 1; if (Number == 1) { //This is the base case that stops the recursion. ReturnValue = 1; } else { //This is what makes it recursion because it calls itself. //Any code before the recursion call will happen as the recursion is traveling from the root to the branch tip. ReturnValue = Factorial(NextNumber) * Number; //Any code after the recursion will happen as the recursion is traveling back from the branch tip to the root. } return ReturnValue; } static void Main(string[] args) { bool ExitLoop = false; long UsersNumber = 0; do { Console.Write("Enter a number to calculate it's factorial (or 0 to exit):"); UsersNumber = Convert.ToInt16( Console.ReadLine()); if (UsersNumber > 0) { if (UsersNumber > 20) { Console.WriteLine("Numbers entered must be between 1 and 20 due to how big"); Console.WriteLine("these numbers get for higher values."); } else { //The recursion happens when the Factorial method is called. Console.WriteLine("The Factorial of "+UsersNumber+" is " + Factorial(UsersNumber)); } } else { if (UsersNumber == 0) ExitLoop = true; Console.WriteLine("The number must not be negative."); } } while (!ExitLoop); } } }
Now the factorial example is commonly used to teach recursion because it is a very simple example of recursion. However, it in many ways is too simple.
One of the things that recursion is very good at is "climbing trees". And what better way to demonstrate this than with a family tree.
In this example, we have a family tree of objects. There is a Person class that has a field for the person's name. It also has a field for the person's favorite color. And a Person has a List<Person>, or a list of Persons, who are the children of that Person. Really, this family tree is more complicated than the recursion used to examine the family tree.
Now the family must have a person who is the head of the family. So, we have declared a Person instance called the Patriarch to hold the head of the family. Everyone else, is defined as a child of this person (or a child's child's child, etc.).
Really, all the code in Main is setting up the family tree, or keeping the program from exiting at the end.
The actual recursion happens in the RecursiveColorsOfTheFamilyTree method. With this method we want to know the favorite colors of everyone in the family tree. We have no idea how big the tree is. We have no idea what the shape of all the branches is. All we know is the Patriarch. And the Patriarch object (Person class) gives public access to it's list of children to be queried. We use that list to find out who that Person's children are, and who their children are.
public static void RecursiveColorsOfTheFamilyTree(Person FamilyMember) { Console.WriteLine(FamilyMember.ChosenColor()); foreach (Person Child in FamilyMember.Children) { Console.Write(FamilyMember.GetName() + "'s child "); RecursiveColorsOfTheFamilyTree(Child); } }
So, this is our recursive method. It writes this person's favorite color using the ChosenColor method of the Person class. This simply writes Name + " prefers " + FavoriteColor+"." to the screen.
Next, it iterates through every child this Person has, writes Person's child, and then calls itself with the Child object to have that Child object act as a Person and do the same. So, it is traveling down that branch of the family tree.
Now the "base case" may not be as obvious here. There is nothing that says "Stop the recursion". However, if the current Person has no Children in its list then it will not iterate through the list and that branch of the recursion will end.
Likewise, each child's child's child's child will be explored. So, once all of a Person's children have been called, that Person's branch is complete and the method will return back to the parent and finish analyzing any children that the child's parent has. I think this is more clear if you run the actual program and see the results.
The results look like this.
Bob prefers Red.
Bob's child Evelyn prefers Green.
Bob's child Steve prefers Yellow.
Steve's child Emma prefers Mauve.
Steve's child Steve Jr. prefers Tan.
Steve Jr.'s child Rick prefers Black.
Steve Jr.'s child Mary prefers Chartreuse.
Steve Jr.'s child Steve Jr. Jr. prefers Chartreuse too.
Steve's child Corra prefers Navy Blue.
Corra's child Ralph prefers Purple.
Ralph's child Kevin prefers Kevin's Color.
Kevin's child Patton prefers to be difficult.
Corra's child Ramond prefers Violet.
Hit the ANY key.
Bob's child Evelyn prefers Green.
Bob's child Steve prefers Yellow.
Steve's child Emma prefers Mauve.
Steve's child Steve Jr. prefers Tan.
Steve Jr.'s child Rick prefers Black.
Steve Jr.'s child Mary prefers Chartreuse.
Steve Jr.'s child Steve Jr. Jr. prefers Chartreuse too.
Steve's child Corra prefers Navy Blue.
Corra's child Ralph prefers Purple.
Ralph's child Kevin prefers Kevin's Color.
Kevin's child Patton prefers to be difficult.
Corra's child Ramond prefers Violet.
Hit the ANY key.
You can see the order that they are being called in. You can see that when it gets to Steve Jr. that it starts going through all of Steve Jr.'s children and then goes back to Steve's (Steve Jr.'s parent) children when it is finished exploring Steve Jr.'s children. You can add more children to the family tree to experiment with it.
So, hopefully, you can see how useful recursion is for exploring the branches of a data structure such as this. Experiement by adding more children and watching the result.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace RecursionTest { class Program { public class Person { private string Name; private string FavoriteColor; public List<Person> Children; public Person(string name, string favoriteColor) { Name = name; FavoriteColor = favoriteColor; Children = new List<Person>(); } public void AddChild(string ChildsName, string favoriteColor) { Children.Add(new Person(ChildsName, favoriteColor)); } public Person GetChild(string ChildsName ) { Person RequestedChild = null; foreach (Person Child in Children) { if (ChildsName == Child.Name) { RequestedChild = Child; } } return RequestedChild; } public string GetName() { return Name; } public string ChosenColor() { return Name + " prefers " + FavoriteColor+"."; } } public static void RecursiveColorsOfTheFamilyTree(Person FamilyMember) { Console.WriteLine(FamilyMember.ChosenColor()); foreach (Person Child in FamilyMember.Children) { Console.Write(FamilyMember.GetName() + "'s child "); RecursiveColorsOfTheFamilyTree(Child); } } static void Main(string[] args) { Person Patriarch; Patriarch = new Person("Bob", "Red"); Patriarch.AddChild("Evelyn","Green"); Patriarch.AddChild("Steve", "Yellow"); Patriarch.GetChild("Steve").AddChild("Emma", "Mauve"); Patriarch.GetChild("Steve").AddChild("Steve Jr.", "Tan"); Patriarch.GetChild("Steve").AddChild("Corra", "Navy Blue"); Patriarch.GetChild("Steve").GetChild("Steve Jr.").AddChild("Rick", "Black"); Patriarch.GetChild("Steve").GetChild("Steve Jr.").AddChild("Mary", "Chartreuse"); Patriarch.GetChild("Steve").GetChild("Steve Jr.").AddChild("Steve Jr. Jr.", "Chartreuse too"); Patriarch.GetChild("Steve").GetChild("Corra").AddChild("Ralph", "Purple"); Patriarch.GetChild("Steve").GetChild("Corra").AddChild("Ramond", "Violet"); Patriarch.GetChild("Steve").GetChild("Corra").GetChild("Ralph").AddChild("Kevin", "Kevin's Color"); Patriarch.GetChild("Steve").GetChild("Corra").GetChild("Ralph").GetChild("Kevin").AddChild("Patton", "to be difficult"); RecursiveColorsOfTheFamilyTree(Patriarch); Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine("Hit the ANY key."); Console.ReadKey(); } } }
And finally, I want to discuss the stack overflow problem that is commonly associated with recursion. This is "extra credit" as you really don't need to know much about the stack overflow exception except that it is generally caused by not having anything in your recursion method that ends the recursion and so it goes on forever into infinity which crashes the stack. But I'll explore it in more detail for those interested since it is tied so closely to recursion.
First of all, you have to understand what the stack is. I'll give you an analogy here that might help you envision it without going into the specific technical details of a stack. You can make a stack yourself or have stacks other than the one we are talking about here. But this is a specific stack that is used by your program behind the scenes.
So, imagine the stack as being a box. Maybe a nice wooden box. Since its your imagination I'll let you use any sort of box you please.
So, your program has this box. And imagine that it keeps track of everything it is working on in the current method on a piece of paper that we will call the stack frame. All of the values of the current fields it is working on are stored here in this stack frame.
When the program calls another method, it "pushes" the stack frame (our imaginary piece of paper) onto the top of the stack (our box). That way, when it finishes the new method and comes back to the current method, it can "pop" the stack frame off the top of the stack of "papers" and go back to working on what it was working on before the call to the new method and have the exact values it was using before. (Storing values by reference may or may not have those values stored in the stack frame).
So, when you call methods 5, 6, or 23 layers deep, your program has a stack frame on the stack that represents each one of those methods. And the one on top is the method that it is currently executing.
Now eventually the stack, I mean this box, will fill up if you go deep enough into enough method calls. It's like the box filling up with stack frame papers and then it starts over flowing and the papers start falling out everywhere. That's basically what a "stack overflow" is. The stack runs out of space and then when it tries to "push" a new stack frame on top it falls off. The stack is broken.
So, you have to either get a bigger box (allocate more space to the stack) or make sure that the calls to methods never go that many layers deep.
But usually what happens is that you do recursion without a base case to tell the recursion that it is done. And so it becomes "infinate" recursion and then you are guaranteed to overflow the stack and crash your program. So, you never want to have infinate recursion because it will always result in a stack overflow exception.
In Conclusion
Recursion is not all that complicated. All it is is a function or method that calls itself, usually many times. It is very good at "climbing" data trees and working its way through an unlimited number of branches without knowing the shape of those branches before it begins. Make sure you have a base case that tells the recursive function when enough is enough. If you want something to happen as the recursion is moving from root to branch tip put the code in the recursive function before it calls itself. Any code after the call to itself, will execute as it climbs back from the branch tip back towards the root. Play around with the family tree code, add some new children at any and every level, and see what you can learn about the order it is doing things in.

We are on the stage of planning a CakePHP project.
It is a relatively a big project for us, as a developer+project manager, I want to hire someone to work with me. But what I really want is to spend less time on actual coding, without losing control of the code quality.
What I want to do is that I will design all the functions of the project in CakePHP, at least all the model's functions, and leave the implementation part to the coder who I am going to hire.
But my worry is still if I am going to lose control of the code quality using this approach? is it feasible to do so or it is going to turn this project to a chaos.
Thank you all in advanced for reading my question and give me answers.

On May 19, 2004, the Air Resources Division released a report entitled Air Pollution Transport and How it Affects New Hampshire . This new report describes the impact air pollution produced by out-of-state sources has on New Hampshire's businesses and public health-related costs, and compares some strategies being considered to address the problem. According to the report, direct health-related costs to New Hampshire from transported air pollution are estimated to exceed $1 billion per year based on health-related cost data obtained from independent studies.
Transport - NH State Implementation Plan revision to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i): This SIP revision certifies that sources and emission activities in NH do not contribute to nonattainment of either the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) or the 1997 fine particulate matter (PM2.5) NAAQS in other states, nor do they interfere with maintenance of the 8-hour ozone NAAQS and the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS in other states. This SIP revision also confirms that New Hampshire's SIP already includes provisions to prohibit major sources from interfering with measures in other states to prevent significant deterioration of air quality through the Prevention of Significant Deterioration and New Sources Review provisions of the Act. Additionally, the Department confirms that the current SIP includes provisions that prevent sources from interfering with measures to protect visibility according to the 1980 visibility requirements. The Department, along with other states in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast Visibility Union (MANE-VU) and other regional planning organizations, is analyzing the 1999 regional haze requirements and will make a determination concerning these provisions in the regional haze SIP submittal.
