Statistical significance is the probability of finding a given deviation from the null hypothesis -or a more extreme one- in a sample.
Statistical significance is often referred to as the
(short for "probability value") or simply
in research papers. A small p-value basically means that your data are unlikely under some
Timberland Mens Kendrick Cap Toe Oxford Shoe Black aWZOBtwBox
. A somewhat arbitrary convention is to reject the null hypothesis if p < 0.05 .
I've a coin and my null hypothesis is that it's balanced - which means it has a 0.5 chance of landing heads up. I flip my coin 10 times, which may result in 0 through 10 heads landing up. The probabilities for these outcomes -assuming my coin is really balanced- are shown below.
Technically, this is a
Loeffler Randall Womens Gabi Canvas Pom Flat Sandal Natural/Multi M US 6xYpM
. The formula for computing these probabilities is based on mathematics and the (very general) assumption of independent and identically distributed variables . Keep in mind that probabilities are relative frequencies. So the 0.24 probability of finding 5 heads means that if I'd draw a 1,000 samples of 10 coin flips, some 24% of those samples should result in 5 heads up.
Now, 9 of my 10 coin flips actually land heads up. The previous figure says that the probability of finding 9 or more heads in a sample of 10 coin flips, p = 0.01 . If my coin is really balanced, the probability is only 1 in 100 of finding what I just found. So, based on my sample of N = 10 coin flips, I reject the null hypothesis : I no longer believe that my coin was balanced after all.p = 0.01 reject the null hypothesis
A sample of 360 people took a grammar test. We'd like to know if male respondents score differently than female respondents. Our null hypothesis is that on average, male respondents score the same number of points as female respondents. The table below summarizes the means and standard deviations for this sample.
Note that females scored 3.5 points higher than males in this sample. However, samples typically differ somewhat from populations. The question is: if the mean scores for all males and all females are equal, then what's the probability of finding this mean difference or a more extreme one in a sample of N = 360? This question is answered by running an independent samples t test .what's the probability of finding this mean difference
So what sample mean differences can we reasonably expect? Well, this depends onstandard deviations sample sizes
We therefore standardize our mean difference of 3.5 points, resulting in t = -2.2 So this t-value -our test statistic- is simply the sample mean difference corrected for sample sizes and standard deviations. Interestingly, we know the sampling distribution -and hence the probability- for t.
Mathematics is known for its resolute commitment to precision in definitions and statements. However, when words are pulled from the English language and given rigid mathematical definitions, the connotations and colloquial use outside of mathematics still remain. This can lead to immutable mathematical termsbeing used interchangeably, even though the mathematical definitions are not equivalent. This occurs frequently in probability and statistics, particularly with the notion of uncorrelated and independent . We will focus this post on the exact meaning of both of these words, and how they are related but not equivalent.
First, we will give the formal definition of independence:
Definition ( Independence of Random Variables) .
Two random variables X and Y are independent if the joint probability distribution P ( X , Y ) can be written as the product of the two individual distributions. That is,
Essentially this means that the joint probability of the random variables X and Y together are actually separable into the product of their individual probabilities. Here are some other equivalent definitions:
This first alternative definition states that the probability of any outcome of X and any outcome of Y occurring simultaneously is the product of those individual probabilities.

Pregnancy is a time when a great deal of advice is given, including some that is based on science, as well as some that is not. One area where pregnant women need to seek out scientific information is food safety. This will help keep her and her unborn baby healthy and reduce her risk of food-borne illness.
Pregnancy is a time when a great deal of advice is given, including some that is based on science, as well as some that is not. One area where pregnant women need to seek out scientific information is food safety. This will help keep her and her unborn baby healthy and reduce her risk of food-borne illness.
Food safety should be important to everyone, but as a pregnant woman it is especially important for you to learn how to protect yourself and your unborn baby from foodborne illness.
When you become pregnant, your body naturally undergoes hormonal changes, some of which also change your immune system, making you more susceptible to contracting a foodborne illness. The immune system is the body's natural reaction or response to "foreign invasion."
Everyone is susceptible to contracting a foodborne illness. However, because your immune system changes during pregnancy, and your unborn child has an under-developed immune system, you and your unborn child are at risk for illnesses associated with Listeria monocytogenes and Toxoplasma gondii.
Listeria monocytogenes is a harmful bacterium found in many foods. It can lead to a disease called listeriosis. Listeriosis can cause miscarriage, premature delivery, serious sickness, or death of a newborn baby.
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite found in numerous food sources, as well as dirty cat litter boxes and other areas where cat feces can be found. Toxoplasmosis can cause hearing loss, mental retardation and blindness.
The good news is that you can take special effort to select and prepare foods to prevent contracting these and other foodborne diseases. This guide is written especially for you to help show you how to protect yourself and your unborn baby from contracting a foodborne illness.
Make wise food choices
Some foods are more risky for you than others. In general, the foods that are most likely to contain harmful bacteria or viruses fall into two categories: Uncooked fresh fruits and vegetables and some animal products, such as unpasteurized (raw) milk; soft cheeses made with raw milk; and raw or undercooked eggs, raw meat, raw poultry; luncheon meats and deli-type salads (without added preservatives) prepared on site in a deli-type establishment.
Interestingly, the risk these foods may actually pose depends on the origin or source of the food and how the food is processed, stored and prepared. If you have questions about wise food choices, be sure to consult with your doctor or health care provider. He or she can answer any specific questions or help you in your choices.
All consumers need to follow the four basic steps to food safety: Clean, separate, cook, and chill.
n Clean: Wash hands and surfaces often. Bacteria can spread throughout the kitchen and get onto cutting boards, utensils, counter tops and food. To ensure that your hands and surfaces are clean, be sure to wash hands in warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food and after using the bathroom, changing diapers or handling pets.
n Separate: Don't cross-contaminate. Cross-contamination occurs when bacteria are spread from one food product to another. This is especially common when handling raw meat, poultry, seafoods and eggs. The key is to keep these foods and their juices away from ready-to-eat foods.
n Cook: Cook to safe temperatures. Foods are safely cooked when they are heated to the USDA-FDA recommended safe minimum internal temperatures. Use a food thermometer to measure the internal temperature of cooked foods. Check the internal temperature in several places to make sure that the meat, poultry, seafood or egg product is cooked to safe minimum internal temperatures.
Cook ground beef to at least 155 degrees fahrenheit and ground poultry to a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees fahrenheit. Color of food is not a reliable indicator of safety or doneness. Cook seafood to 145 degrees fahrenheit. Cook eggs until the yolks and whites are firm. Use only recipes in which the eggs are cooked or heated to 160 degrees fahrenheit.
Cook all raw beef, lamb, pork, and veal steaks, roasts, and chops to 145 degrees fahrenheit with a 3-minute rest time after removal from the heat source.
When cooking in a microwave oven, cover food, stir and rotate for even cooking. If there is no turntable, rotate the dish by hand once or twice during cooking. Always allow standing time, which completes the cooking, before checking the internal temperature with a food thermometer.
n Chill: Refrigerate promptly. Cold temperatures slow the growth of harmful bacteria.
Keeping a constant refrigerator temperature of 40 degrees fahrenheit or below is one of the most effective ways to reduce risk of foodborne illness. Use an appliance thermometer to be sure the refrigerator temperature is consistently 40 degrees fahrenheit or below and the freezer temperature is zero degrees fahrenheit or below.

Here is every line from Ali Wong's stand-up comedy special, .
We're going to explain why her hour-long routine is so great.But first, know that you can on the right to skip forward. Try it! you can click on the right to skip forward. Or use the keyboard. < >
Nice! Ok, back to Ali Wong's comedy special...
We noticed something special about 50 minutes into the show.
Each marks noticeable audience laughter. The circle size denotes how long the audience laughed.
In fact, this moment had the most laughter in the entire show. We'll call it the "laughter climax."
Why was this moment so funny? After dissecting it, we're going to show you how form—the structure of the entire routine—played a big role.
We discovered this when we set out to understand the laughter climax.
First, we looked for the beginning of the story that triggered it. With its starting point, we could see how the story developed into the biggest laugh.
The laughter climax is about conception. We worked our way backward to see how she arrived at that topic.
The punchline about conception was preceded by a reference to being a hippy, which was preceded by a description of a man's face during orgasm.
We kept working backward, and we ended up slicing the entire routine into self-contained topics, yielding a map of all subject matter in the comedy special.
Yet when looking at the entire routine, we noticed that some of these topics weren't so separate. For example, let's examine the first three minutes of the show.
She has a whole digression about HPV that's divided into three parts: everyone has it, men don't get it, and Ali's experience at the doctor.
But the reason she got to the topic of HPV was because of her difficulty falling asleep.
And the reason she is talking about falling asleep: she's jealous of other women who can fall asleep, as well as their metabolism and inner thigh clearance.
Generally, a comedian's stories will flow from one to another, but there's often no collective "point" The outcome of an hour-long stand-up routine is different from other long-form compositions (e.g., films, books, plays).
But if you take a step back, Ali's routine is structured around three cohesive ideas: getting older, marriage, and pregnancy.
Let's put this into context. If you're studying theatre, literature, or film, you make sense of the work by breaking down its plot or form.
In film, for example, the smallest, irreducible unit is the "beat," described by screenwriting instructor Robert McKee as "an exchange of behavior in action/reaction."
Those small pieces—the beats—build a scene...
...and scenes build an act. We analyze the division and subdivision of a story to understand what it's about.
And we find that we can do this with Ali Wong's routine. Unlike some stand-up, it adds up into something bigger. She's telling not just 100 individual jokes, but a story that is deliberately arranged, much like a comedy film or a TV series.
We can think of comedy as a spectrum, from one-line jokes to a feature film.
As we move from left to right, we have more topic continuity and use of structure. The humor requires and builds off of context.
Ali Wong's stand-up is closer to the right of this spectrum, relying less on one-liners and more on form-driven humor. It helps makes her routine great, and the jokes hit for different reasons than we sometimes expect in stand-up. The laughter climax is one example of this.
Let's zoom in again on the laughter climax to see why.
We can tie this punchline to a larger three-minute story about making babies.
It also "calls back" to three other topics from earlier in the routine.
The laughter climax is For 50 minutes, Ali has built a universe, with each joke expanding the audience's understanding of her world-view.
The laughter climax connects the major themes of her routine, from how she met her husband to her philosophy on working. When the punchline hits, the seemingly disparate stories snap together.
You get the same feeling when reaching the end of a great Seinfeld episode or any multi-plot story—the delight in seeing all the plotlines converge into one (and realizing that the storyteller was crafting a deeper idea all along).
Screenwriting educator devotes a large part of teaching to story structure. Screenwriting is not about the exact words said (i.e., the jokes) but the pattern of events and the meaning behind them. For example, here's a point about structure that he makes in screenwriting bible ...
"If, however, we were to put the content of their films aside for the moment, and study the pure patterning of their events, we'd see that, like a melody without a lyric, like a silhouette without a matrix, their story designs are powerfully charged with meaning.""Stripped of its surface of characterization and location, story structure reveals his personal insight into the deepest patterns and motivations for how and why things happen in this world––his map of life's hidden order."
This is what we get when stand-up isn't just joke after joke after joke.
The structure of her routine leaves us with something more, much like a film short or a play would. Her hour-long show is different because we see her world-view. We understand her experience being pregnant.
We learn Ali's "map of life's hidden order."

Sinusitis occurs when the hollow spaces around the nasal passages are inflamed. Chronic sinusitis is sinusitis for 12 or more weeks that does not respond to medical intervention.
The most common cause of chronic sinusitis is infection from bacteria, viruses or fungi or allergies that are not well controlled. The sinuses are lined with tiny hair-like cilia that work to sweep away mucous. When infection or allergy causes the membranes in the sinuses to swell these cilia can't do their job properly. Bacteria, viruses or even fungi can start to colonize the sinuses. In addition, growths known as polyps can block sinus passages and keep sinuses from draining properly.
The most prominent symptom is pain, pressure and a feeling of fullness around the forehead, nose, cheeks and eyes. Swelling might even be visible. Other common symptoms of chronic sinusitis include:
You can seek treatment for chronic sinusitis from your primary care physician, but they are not the experts in treating this condition. Your best treatment will come from an otolaryngologist or as they are commonly known, an ENT. ENTs are specially trained to treat chronic sinusitis with medical and surgical interventions.
First the ENT will determine this cause of the condition. This involves taking a complete medical history and performing a physical examination of your nose. In addition, an endoscope may be used to examine the sinuses and take nasal cultures. CT or MRI images may be captured. Once the cause is determined appropriate treatment will begin.This can include:
There are many minimally invasive surgical procedures that can be used to treat chronic sinusitis. If you have sinusitis that occurs over and over again or if you have sinusitis that won't go away, call the ENT and schedule an appointment for an evaluation today.

Another bank source told the Observer that Clinton's motivation in purposefully overcharging donors is not only to rake in more money for her campaign but also to inflate her small donor numbers reported to the FEC. "This gives a false impression about how much money Clinton has raised," the source said. "The money that the bank has refunded would not be reflected in the FEC filings till after the election. This gives off the illusion to the public that her support and the amount she's raised is much greater than what it is in reality."
A Clinton campaign worker named Kathy Callahan, who worked on Clinton's presidential campaign in 2008,
Popular Cheap Online Jeans On Sale in Outlet Old Rose Cotton 2017 31 34 Burberry Clearance Fake Free Shipping Release Dates Cheap Price Sale Wholesale Price YL14d6Og
in a blog post that Clinton fraudulently overcharged her by several thousand dollars. She wrote that she voluntarily left the campaign's finance committee after she discovered $3,000 in unauthorized charges made by Clinton's campaign to her Visa card. Callahan said the unauthorized charges caused $400 in overdraft and bank charges and put Callahan over the legal donor limit. Callahan said that after a month of "begging and pleading," she wasn't able to get her money back until she threatened to go to authorities. However, when she was finally refunded her money the Clinton campaign refused to compensate her for the $400 in overdraft and bank charges.
Callahan also wrote that Matt McQueeney, who worked in the compliance and accounting department at Clinton's campaign headquarters at the time, told her, "What happened to you with credit card errors is happening to others." McQueeney reportedly parted ways with the Clinton campaign shortly after this incident occurred. Backing up what McQueeney claimed, there were several incidents similar to Callahan's reported in 2008 . Callahan and McQueeney could not be reached for comment.
In 2001, the Clintons were accused of attempting to steal items donated to the White House during Bill's presidency as he exited office. There was $190,000 worth of gifts in question that the Clintons shipped to their then new estate in Chappaqua, New York. Multiple donors said that they had understood that the items they had donated during Clinton's presidency were to stay in the White House as part of the 1993 White House redecoration project. Initially, the Clintons claimed that the items in question were given to them prior to President Clinton taking office; however, government records proved otherwise. Facing strong criticism, the Clintons decided to return several items including $28,500 in furnishings and they paid $86,000 for other gifts.

to Robin Hood and said that through their foundation he asks people with money to give to people who don't have money. In reality, the Clintons steal from people who have little money and they're robbing some of Hillary's most impoverished supporters—including a poor elderly grandma—to fund her campaign.

Manchester man arrested in wife's murder at Mammoth Road duplexBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 01. 2013 9:30PM
MANCHESTER— A man described by neighbors as the loving, patient father of a young boy was arrested Wednesday and charged with the stabbing death of his wife.
John Hogarty, 53, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Michelle Hogarty, homicide prosecutors announced early Wednesday night.
The homicide took place at Hogarty's home at 316 Mammoth Road, Unit 1, authorities said.
According to neighbor Jeffrey Luebkert, about eight or nine police officers arrived about 5 a.m. with guns drawn.
They walked up the front steps yelling "put your hands up."
The charge followed hours of anticipation as police secured the scene and spent the day doing a crime-scene investigation.
"It just breaks my heart," said Suzanne Luebkert. She said she saw police lead her neighbor, the father of a 6-year-old boy, out of the home in handcuffs between 4:30 and 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.
At his arraignment Thursday morning in 9th Circuit Court, Manchester District Division, Hogarty said little except to answer yes to Judge Gregory Michael's questions about paperwork.
Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell said Hogarty worked as a mechanic for a Subaru dealership in Milford, and Michelle Hogarty worked part-time at Hannaford supermarket on Hanover Street in Manchester. Workers at the store today said she was a cashier who worked one day a week but hasn't worked there in awhile.
Defense attorney John Newman asked at today's hearing that documents in the case be unsealed so he could prepare for a probable cause hearing scheduled for May 14, but Morrell objected, saying investigators needed to protect the integrity of the case. Judge Michael took the matter under advisement.
The complaint alleged that Hogarty stabbed his wife sometime between April 30 and May 1.
In court today, family members attending the hearing refused to comment to a reporter.
Morrell would not say when police took Hogarty into custody.
Nor would she answer questions about whether a child was in the house overnight Tuesday, or the whereabouts of the child after the killing.
"I don't want to comment on his status at all," she said.
Morrell returned to the home with police from the critical incident response unit about 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, where the blue, two-unit home remained cordoned off with yellow police tape.
Just inside the tape, someone left two bouquets of flowers in the grass in front of the home where Jeff Leubkert said he often saw John Hogarty playing with his son.
"I saw nothing that would lead me to believe he had any anger issues," Jeff Leubkert said. "He seemed to be a good father."
Luebkert said police removed the boy shortly after taking his father away. The boy appeared bewildered but was uninjured, she said.
Throughout the day, Manchester police stood outside the house, which was sealed off by crime scene tape.
"This will be an active investigation for quite a period of time," Morrell said.
In a statement issued early Wednesday night, authorities said police responded to a 911 call for service at the home at 4:54 a.m. Wednesday. Hogarty was officially charged with the crime Wednesday afternoon, Morrell said.
Luebkert said her neighbor played with his son outside every day. She hadn't seen the mother recently, but when the child was younger the mother sat on the steps and watched him play, Luebkert said.
Hogarty was always good with the little boy, she said.
"He had the patience of a saint. He is just a phenomenal father, always loving. No matter which way you look at it, it's a tragedy. God bless that little boy," she said.
Hogarty is being held without bail at the Valley Street Jail.
The state Medical Examiner's Office was expected to perform an autopsy Thursday morning.
Anyone with information about the crime should contact Manchester police detectives, authorities said.
New Hampshire Union Leader reporters Mark Hayward and Tim Buckland contributed to this report.

Gear Reviews
The MINOX BF 10x25 is the clear winner!
Searching for compact binoculars, I made multiple trips to three different sporting goods stores and tried out nine different models from seven different companies. Taking into account size and portability, optics, build quality, and price, MINOX was the clear winner! Mr. Alan H. is also the finest customer service rep I have ever dealt with!
When a company does something well, I like to let them know, because too often, I am sure, you only hear the complaints. I had my first opportunity to really use the new binocs this weekend, hiking at a nearby state park. They are absolutely everything I wanted in a compact binocular! Focusing is smooth and precise, the image is clear, bright, and razor sharp, and the comfortable neck strap is just icing on the cake! I honestly couldn't be happier with this purchase! So far, they have brought me up close to several birds, turtles, deer, and even two foxes!
I have many, many reasons to rave about these binoculars, but, to sum it all up, I love my MINOX binocs!
Brian S.
P.S. I like these binoculars so well, I even look at things inside my house, across the room, just to "play" with them!

Hi Mike,mikenz66 wrote:Does anyone who has spent any time with real teachers seriously believe that they are all that confused?
it's not, that anyone is confused.
The mistake of non-relaxing the tensions arisen from craving
after letting go of the distraction and returning to the object of meditation
can lead you into very deep concentrated states which can be very pleasant.
But no hindrances and nothing at all shows up into mind in that states
so one won't learn how mind actually works.
Without relaxing the tension and tightness in body and mind after letting go of the distraction
you can reach deep meditative states without knowing that they are the wrong ones.
The Buddha had been at those with his first two meditation teacher teaching him brahmin meditation.
And he dismissed that being non-sufficient.

Crews from the city of Dover and Delmarva Power must wait for the high winds caused by Hurricane Sandy to subside before they can venture out to repair power lines and restore power to those who lost it because of the historic storm.
Local residents who experienced the loss of electrical power are asked to be patient as authorities wait out high winds that remain in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
It is now unsafe for the city of Dover's electric crews to go out to restore power due to increased winds, city officials said, with apologies. Anyone who experienced a power outage is asked to report the address to 736-7086. Dispatch crews will come out to check the safety of the situation but it has become too dangerous to restore at this point.
Dover hired out-of-state contractors to help with restoring electrical power, city Director of Public Affairs & Emergency Management Coordinator Kay Dietz-Sass had said.
But the city had only a few power outages, prompting several people to praise the city's Electric Utility on Facebook.
Delmarva Power's parent company, Pepco Holdings Inc. made a similar move with regard to personnel by securing line personnel from states as far away as Texas and Mississippi, Delmarva Power officials said. As a result, all available utility crews east of the Rocky Mountains had been committed to the restoration effort on the Eastern seaboard and had arrived at Delmarva Power's staging grounds at the Fisker Plant in Wilmington and the Perdue Shorebirds stadium in Salisbury, Md.
The brunt of power outages amongst Delmarva Power customers was in New Castle County, where more than 39,000 lost power, while more than 600 lost power in Kent and nearly 2,500 lost power in Sussex.
Nonetheless, Delmarva Power would also have to be patient in the face of Mother Nature, Delmarva spokesman Nick Morici said. Namely, federal safety regulations do not allow overhead work to be performed in sustained winds of 35 miles per hour or more. Therefore, the initiation of damage assessment and restoration work would depend on when the storm passes and winds subside, he said.
"Delmarva Power has committed all its resources to Hurricane Sandy. We are actively working this storm so we can restore power as quickly and safely as possible," said Gary Stockbridge, Delmarva Power Region president. "However, based on the unprecedented damage that is expected, the restoration period is likely to extend more than a week."

With the grand opening of a new bar and restaurant, you're going to want to leave your guests feeling welcome and eager to come back. The service and food quality are obvious ways to do this, but giving a little something extra to customers will show them that you really care about them and their business.
Cups Runneth Over
An essential at any bar/restaurant is cups, and menu covers. Some of them should follow the sports theme to get everyone in the team spirit. Items that they can use at the bar and then take home will help keep the memories alive. Flyer/buffet kits are great, too, because patrons can use the stadium cups, plates and utensils while there and then bring the flying disc home to the kids
Fun Stuff
Of course, no sports bar promotion would be complete without a whole load of fun giveaways. Think mini footballs for wannabe quarterbacks, nuts for the sports nuts, shot glasses on beads, LED badges and, even a hula skirt for your beverage. More expensive items, such as a digital frame should also be available. Like we said, think fun.
Sign Here
In the end, despite all the giveaways on opening day, you want your customers to pay the check. Give patrons sports-themed pens to sign their bills and also to take away in their purses or jacket pockets. Then, when someone asks them to jot down great eateries, they can use the pens to recommend your restaurant as one of their favorites.

Brennan's parting shot The 'for the children' lie
June 29. 2013 8:11PM
Outgoing Manchester school superintendent Thomas Brennan spilled the dirty secret of the city's public school system last week: The machine operates for the benefit of the staff, not the kids.
Anyone who has paid close attention to the way the school system functions could have reached this conclusion independently. The bureaucracy and the employee unions are brazenly self-interested, while the school board tends to bow to the political pressure brought by the well-organized and obstreperous unions. The trick, though, is that no one ever actually admits this. Until Brennan spoke at a Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce event last week.
"We should be an organization dedicated to the advancement of children, not the adults who work in the system. And we are not an organization about children. It's all about the principals and the teachers, and which teachers are getting along with which principals," he said.
This is not to say that there are not many dedicated teachers and administrators who go to work every day with the goal of educating children. It is to say that the system itself functions so that it protects the personnel first and serves the kids second.
Brennan said the system is geared for job preservation. That is evident to anyone who has observed the ongoing disputes over teacher contracts, extended learning initiatives, charter schools and redistricting. Doing what is best for the kids often is hindered by the institutional protections created to preserve union jobs. Kudos to Brennan for pointing out that the government school system is not all, or even primarily, "for the children."

P0660 Engine Trouble Code
Meaning of P0660 engine trouble code is a kind of powertrain trouble code and when the check engine light comes P0660 code on the first you should check is the gas cap. Pull over, retighten it, and take a look at the cap to see if it has any cracks in it. Continue driving and see if the check engine light turns off. Alternately, you can purchase a gas cap for about $3 at an auto parts store. All you need to do is take the old one off and screw on the new one. If you've already made it to the store, you might as well just replace it. While not car-threatening, it's good to take care of this right away to improve gas mileage.
P0660 Fault Symptoms :
If one of these reasons for P0660 code is occuring now you should check P0660 repair processes.
Now don't ask yourself; What should you do with P0660 code ?
The solution is here :
P0660 Possible Solution:
The crankshaft sensor signals the fuel injection computer or the ignition control when the cylinders are firing. This causes the ignition coil to provide a spark and the injector to inject fuel into each cylinder at the right time.If either sensor isn't working correctly, the car will run rough and the engine will be less efficient. In later car models, the car's computer can usually keep the vehicle running, but the engine warning light on the dashboard goes on to warn the driver.
P0660 Code Meaning :
|OBD-II Diagnostic Powertrain (P) Trouble Code For Engine
|Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Low
|Fuel Temperature Sensor B Circuit Range/Performance
|Cylinder 4 Contribution/Balance Fault
|Shift Solenoid E Performance or Stuck Off
The oxygen (02) sensors on your car measure the oxygen in the exhaust to determine how rich or lean the ratio of fuel and air are in the cylinders. Optimizing this mixture means better fuel economy and fewer exhaust emissions.
P0660 OBD-II Diagnostic Powertrain (P) Trouble Code DescriptionP0660 OBD-II Trouble Code The Intake Manifold Tuning Valve (IMTV) system is monitored for failure during continuous, key ON engine OFF or key ON engine running self-test. The test fails when the signal on the monitor pin is mo P0660 code.
Main reason For P0660 CodeThe reason of P0660 OBD-II Engine Trouble Code is Fuel Temperature Sensor B Circuit Range/Performance.
Parts or components should not be replaced with reference to only a P0660 DTC. The vehicle service manual should be consulted for more information on possible causes of the fault, along with required testing.

Members of the G-7 made a loophole-riddled commitment not to engage in currency wars and no doubt the G-20 will reinforce that along with talk that the world economy is improving, but there was no intention of shelving one of the most potent devaluation weapons of all: Quantitative easing (QE).
There is always a strenuous effort to make these big global summits look positive with displays of unity and common purpose. The G-7 statement was no doubt designed to smooth the way for the G-20 meeting starting Thursday as some of its members namely Russia and South Korea were voicing concerns about currency wars. It helped JPY reverse some of its declines and an upbeat summit could also see gold prices fall further.
However, the financial system has become hopelessly addicted to QE, it's become the ultimate opiate for sustaining values of equity and commodity markets, it's also a key support for gold's 12-year rally. There's good reason to believe that the grand experiment with QE still has further to run, even though there are signs that it is steadily becoming less effective.
Many politicians and policy makers still think that it's just a case of creating enough new money and consumers eventually will start spending again like they did in the pre-2007 days. In the spirit of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's infamous speech in 2002 about dropping money from helicopters, there is a strong possibility that central banks will merely do QE on an even grander scale should advanced economies continue to remain sluggish. And that remains the long-term bullish case for gold.
XAU/USD chart – short-term bearish, but longer-term?

Jan. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Google Inc. is free to extend its dominance of the $50 billion Internet-search market after U.S. regulators ended an investigation into whether the company unfairly skewed search results to disadvantage competitors.
The Federal Trade Commission, after a 20-month antitrust probe, concluded Google was motivated more by wanting to improve its search results and user experience than by a desire to stifle competition, said Chairman Jon Leibowitz, who drew a distinction between dominating a market and doing so unfairly.
The FTC's decision clears the way for Google to continue adding features that have helped it beat back Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo! Inc. to become the world's top search provider and most valuable Internet company.
"Nothing in the decision is a serious blow to any of Google's ambitions," Whit Andrews, an analyst for technology research firm Gartner Inc., said in an interview. The FTC didn't get into the question of "where the boundaries are going to get drawn" in the search business, he said.
Google, which makes money by selling advertising next to search results, should grab 76 percent of the U.S. search market this year, up from 75 percent last year. Microsoft should get 9 percent while Yahoo may land 6 percent, according to EMarketer Inc.
The global Internet search market is expected to grow to more than $50 billion this year, up 15 percent from the year-ago period, ZenithOptimedia, an advertising research unit of Paris- based Publicis Groupe SA, said in a report last year.
Google Concessions
The agency's decision to close its probe without enforcement action is a blow to competitors including Microsoft, Yelp Inc., and Expedia Inc.. An alliance of e-commerce and Web- search companies pressed the agency to bring a lawsuit, claiming Google's dominance of Internet search, combined with favoring its own services in answers to users' Web queries, violates antitrust laws.
Google agreed in a letter to the FTC, which the agency said is legally enforceable, to let websites remove their content from focused search services like Google Shopping or Google Local without removing or demoting that content in the main Google search engine.
Advertisers will also be able to compare data from other search engines within third-party services that use Google's AdWords software, Google said in a blog post yesterday.
Search-engine competitors made many of the same product- design choices Google did, "suggesting that this practice benefits consumers," Leibowitz said at a press conference in Washington yesterday.
Standard Patents
Google agreed in a consent decree to limitations on when it can seek to bar sales of competitors' products that rely on so- called standard-essential patents. Industry-standard technology helps ensure products such as mobile phone antennas and global- positioning system software can operate together when made by different manufacturers.
Google paid $12.4 billion to buy Motorola Mobility, an early pioneer in the mobile-phone market, in part to get access to its standard-essential patents. Motorola Mobility has been locked in licensing disputes with Microsoft and Apple Inc. in courts and at the U.S. International Trade Commission over their use of those patents in smartphones, tablets and gaming systems.
'Hand-to-Hand Combat'
Some companies or people may think the agency should do more "because they are locked in hand-to-hand combat with Google around the world and have the mistaken belief that criticizing us will influence the outcome in other jurisdictions," Leibowitz said.
Mac Brown, an outside spokesman for Microsoft, declined to comment.
FairSearch.org, an alliance of Google competitors including Microsoft, had urged the FTC to delay a final decision until Google submitted a detailed proposal to resolve a separate antitrust probe by the European Commission.
The FTC announcement is "maintaining the status quo," Danny Sullivan, founder of the industry blog Search Engine Land, said in an interview. "I doubt it will result in any significant change in how consumers interact with search engines or to the market share of respective competitors."
It's disappointing that the FTC is relying on "simple, voluntary commitments from Google to end certain practices that a majority of commissioners found to have raised strong concerns about impeding innovation," Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat who leads the U.S. Senate's Judiciary Committee, said in an e- mailed statement.
It's now up to European antitrust regulators to determine whether any restrictions should be placed on Google's search practices, said William Kovacic, a former FTC commissioner and chairman and a professor of law at George Washington University.
'Monopolistic Behavior'
Google has agreed to offer the European Union detailed commitments on how it would resolve regulators' concerns, including how Google's own services are promoted above those of rivals and how it uses and displays other content on search services.
"The European framework is more amenable to enforcement than the U.S. one is," Kovacic said. "That gives the Europeans a bigger margin to demand concessions."
Consumer Watchdog, an advocacy group, pressed the U.S. Justice Department and state attorneys general to investigate Google's "monopolistic behavior in search results" in the wake of the FTC announcement.
"Google clearly skews search results to favor its own products and services while portraying the results as unbiased," John Simpson, director of Consumer Watchdog's privacy project, said in an e-mail. "The FTC rolled over for Google."

Goffstown faces transitions after recent school votes
GOFFSTOWN - The school district is facing a period of transition and uncertainty following staff changes and the votes that took place in Goffstown and Dunbarton last week.
And officials from both communities agree that in the days ahead much will need to be done to address the developments of the last several days.
--Dunbarton voters elected to enter into an Authorized Regional Enrollment Agreement with Bow in 2014 instead of renewing their 40-year AREA agreement with Goffstown, meaning Dunbarton middle and high school students will attend schools in Bow instead of Goffstown beginning in September of next year. More than 500 people packed into the Dunbarton Community School gym for the school district meeting on Saturday. It was one of the largest school district meetings in recent memory. "This is unprecedented, the number of people here," Moderator Fred Mullen said.
--Mountain View Middle School Principal Jim Hunt resigned on Friday, after seven years at the helm of the school, ending a tenure during which the administration came under criticism for allegedly creating a hostile and dysfunctional climate for some teachers and staff members there. Hunt's resignation came after the release of a consultant's report, commissioned by the school board at a cost of $35,500, which examined the culture and climate at the school. Hunt declined to be interviewed by the consultants, and the report did not directly address his leadership of the school.
--On March 11, it was announced that SAU 19 Superintendent Stacy Buckley had been offered the superintendent's post in the Newfound Area School District. Although she has not yet tendered her resignation in Goffstown, she is expected to take the Newfound Area School District job after she negotiates and signs an agreement with officials there.
--On March 12, Goffstown voters rejected a warrant article seeking approval of a $14.5 million bond issue to finance renovations to both Maple Avenue and Bartlett elementary schools.
"We're sad that Dunbarton will be leaving our family," said Allard of Dunbarton's AREA vote. "But with everything that we've heard in recent weeks, it was not unexpected."
Dunbarton's decision means the loss of approximately $2 million in annual revenue to the Goffstown School District, which could translate to a tax hike of $1.40 per $1,000 of assessed property valuation, Goffstown Budget Committee Chairman Peter Georgantas has said. Currently, approximately 200 Dunbarton students attend Goffstown's middle and high schools.
Also at issue is approximately $880,000 which Goffstown officials say will be owed to them by Dunbarton once its students begin attending classes in Bow. That money, according to Goffstown School Board members, represents Dunbarton's share of bond repayments. The money raised from the bond issue was used to finance improvements to the high school.
"If we had left the (AREA) agreement, then I would say, yes, we would be obligated because that would have been a breach of contract," said Dunbarton School Board Chairman Rene Ouellet. However, because Dunbarton is letting the AREA agreement expire, Ouellet said the town is under no obligation to make repayments on the bond.
Not so, said Goffstown School Board member Keith Allard. "The consensus of the Goffstown School Board is that we do not agree with that position," he said. "And we've come to that position after discussing it with legal counsel."
Despite the disagreement, Ouellet said he and others from Dunbarton are willing to continue to discuss the matter with Goffstown.
This week, SAU 19 officials will begin looking for educators to replace both Superintendent Buckley and former MVMS Principal Jim Hunt.
In a statement released last week, Buckley said an interim principal will be put in place for the remainder of the school year.
Allard said the decision of whether to move forward with a different proposal for the renovations to the two elementary schools will be up to the full school board. On March 12, Goffstown residents rejected a proposed $14.5 million bond proposal by a vote of 1,146 to 1,060. It marked the second year in a row that voters turned down a bond issue for the renovations.

WENATCHEE, Wash. — A large tree fruit company in Wenatchee and a smaller one in the Okanogan are undergoing federal I-9 audits that could cost them employees, the director of the Washington Farm Labor Association says.
The director, Dan Fazio, would not reveal the names of the companies but said the audit of the Wenatchee firm by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) began in September and the Okanogan firm began the first week of November. Audit of a Puget Sound landscaping firm began in August, he said.
"We don't confirm or deny an audit until there is public enforcement action, and a majority of audits are resolved without enforcement action," said Andrew Munoz, an ICE spokesman in Seattle.
In fiscal year 2013, there were 3,122 I-9 audits resulting in 651orders to employers requiring them to stop violating laws and directing them to pay fines totaling nearly $16.7 million, according to ICE.
Munoz said there can be civil and criminal penalties and that it's illegal for a company to keep workers it cannot prove are legally eligible to work.
"Fines are bad but not the worst thing. The worst thing is losing good, trained workers and scrambling to find new ones," Fazio said.
The Wenatchee company is now awaiting a letter from ICE telling it how many employees it needs to fire, he said. Document review is just getting started in the Okanogan case, he said.
The I-9 is a federal eligibility form required by all U.S. employers for each worker to verify identification and citizenship or immigration status. Job applicants pick which documents they want to use to show eligibility and employers can't reject them on mere suspicion without risking violation of anti-discrimination laws.
ICE looks at the accuracy of forms and checks the status of each worker, Fazio said.
Fortunately, harvest is done, because ICE no longer allows an employer to negotiate continued employment of undocumented workers to provide an orderly transition, he said. Instead, the agency requires termination within 10 days of notification, he said.
In August, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced ICE would conduct more I-9 audits, Fazio said. Labor attorneys and others with sources in ICE believe 1,000 I-9 audit notices were issued nationwide in August and September, he said.
"This is a politically motivated exercise designed to deceive the public while doing absolutely nothing to address the underlying issue," Fazio said.
Audits crack down on employers but don't deport illegals, who are rehired elsewhere, Fazio said.
Audits are being done so President Barack Obama can say he's getting tough on employers hiring illegal aliens as he pushes for immigration reform, Fazio said.
"I wouldn't be surprised if ICE does another 1,000 early in 2014," he said.
The best solution is to make it easier to hire legal foreign guestworkers, but the Obama administration is hostile to that, Fazio said.
Gebbers Farms, in Brewster, lost hundreds of employees to an I-9 audit early in 2010. Broetje Orchards, in Prescott, lost several hundred in 2011, Fazio said, but only a few have taken place since then and none in the past year or so. Gebbers has since turned heavily to the H-2A foreign guestworker visa program despite the added cost of providing housing and transportation.
The Washington companies now under audit have hired the Washington Farm Labor Association to help them through the process and to plan strategies, Fazio said.
Employers should conduct self-audits, never waive their right to take three days to assemble documents and can, by law, make technical corrections to forms during that time, he said.

According to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive for San Francisco-based startup Xobni, approximately 68 percent of Americans hop onto a computer or use a mobile device to check for any recent work emails during the holidays. In addition, three-fourths of the respondents receive work-related email while spending time with family during major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. An average of 41 percent of the 2,810 respondents feel "frustrated, annoyed or resentful" for receiving work-related emails during their time off for the holidays. The group that feel the strongest negative feelings about work emails are adults between the age of 35 to 44. Younger adults in the 18 to 34 year old category are less offended followed by working adults in the 45 to 54 year old category. Only 17 percent of people 55 and older dislike receiving work emails during the holidays.
On the flip side, 19 percent of people that received work emails during the holiday feel "thankful or relieved" for the distraction. In addition, 27 percent of working adults that do check email during the holidays will look for new emails multiple times a day. Forty-one percent also believe that keeping up with email will reduce the workload when returning to work from the holiday. Middle age adults between the age of 35 to 44 are the most likely to check email during holidays. Approximately 58 percent of men will check email during the holidays while 50 percent of women will do the same.
Ten percent of respondents in the 18 to 34 year old category admit to checking email while visiting with friends and family as well as eating a holiday dinner or other "inappropriate" times. Six percent of this group also use the excuse of checking work email to avoid holiday commitments or "crazy" relatives. Based of geographic location, people living in the South are more likely to check work email during the holidays compared to people on the East and West coasts within the United States.

Of the 55 Nebraska student-athletes who graduated from UNL Saturday at Pinnacle Bank Arena, only one Husker stepped down from the stage where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Child, Youth and Family Studies and is now fully prepared to step up to a challenge that relatively few collegiate student-athletes get – the opportunity to work for the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Sunny Russell, the 2013-14 President of the Nebraska Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), has been selected as a Leadership Development Intern for the NCAA in its Indianapolis headquarters. Even before receiving her diploma, Russell had the rare undergraduate experience to speak in Chicago on the importance of inclusion. Her audience? The Directors of Athletics from all 14 schools which will be members of the Big Ten Conference by July 1st of this year.
A senior from Stratford, Texas, and recent recipient of the Dr. Barbara Hibner Memorial Scholarship, Russell is a member of the Husker Rifle Team. Her answer to pressure is preparation, and that special trait probably helped earn the NCAA internship this summer, giving Russell the chance to lead various projects, assist in programming and education and provide overall resources and support to the NCAA national office, member institutions, conference offices, and student-athletes across the country. Her roles tie in nicely with SAAC, which develops leaders with the integrity to promote student-athlete welfare. A multiple Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and a multiple recipient of Academic All-Big Ten honors, Russell is eager to work for and at the NCAA.
Like countless peers, Russell chose Nebraska because of its total person development philosophy. "Through Life Skills support and programs like the NCAA Leadership Forum, the NCAA provides outstanding opportunities for student-athletes to develop athletically and personally," Russell said, adding that participation in NCAA-sponsored programs "vastly improved" her ability to lead, serve others, and develop as a professional. Now that she's joining the ranks of fully equipped Huskers to succeed, The N-Sider asked Russell to share her views on a variety of academic, athletic and life-related questions:
Russell, second from left, was a 2014 Husker Hero Heart & Soul Award winner.
Q-1: You've been fortunate enough to have a unique perspective on everything that goes into being a student-athlete. How has Nebraska prepared you for this incredible internship with the NCAA and what has excited you most about the journey to succeed academically, athletically and in life?
A-1: Although Nebraska offers the best facilities in the nation and is a part of one of the most prestigious conferences in intercollegiate athletics, the full value of Nebraska may be found in those who work and serve here. From top to bottom, each individual is fully invested to provide athletes with optimal athletic, academic, personal, and professional development. Husker fans have much to be proud of. They support an athletic department filled with incredible people. We have a tremendous group of individuals who have made my experience at Nebraska unbeatable and helped prepare me well for my next step.
Q-2: You were asked to speak to 14 Big Ten Conference Athletic Directors in Chicago. What was your primary focus and please share some of the most memorable thoughts that you communicated that day.
A-2: My primary focus during that talk was inclusion. Having recently brought Rutgers and Maryland in the conference, I wanted to ensure their faculty felt welcome and accepted. The talk was intended to inform administration members of the discussion points and opinions shared by Big Ten SAAC leaders at our spring 2013 meeting. These ideas ranged from debating the effectiveness of certain NCAA pieces of legislation to working together to create a more unified conference through a common community outreach project.
Russell, right, was always finding ways to reach out and touch the community.
Q-3: You had a tremendous leadership role for SAAC. Share some of the highlights of that experience and what conclusions you reached in the nonstop interaction among some of the country's best and brightest student-athletes.
A-3: SAAC has been one of the most rewarding organizations I've been a part of and a launching point for my professional development. Being surrounded by exceptional student-athlete leaders and advisors certainly inspires you to strive to improve personally and professionally. The influence of these individuals, paired with the mentorship I've received from SAAC advisors like Keith Zimmer and Jessie Gardner, have been fundamental in my growth here. Our leaders at Nebraska seek to live their lives with an unyielding moral compass. They're always working to better themselves and those they interact with on a daily basis. I've been encouraged watching my fellow student-athletes put in countless hours not only to improve themselves, but also to empower teammates and build unbreakable chemistry with whatever team they're on. This is at the heart of a team's success and well-being, and I'm excited to see where these initiatives will eventually lead.
Q-4: You're going to work for the NCAA. What's the draw and how excited are you?
A-4: I'm incredibly excited and was drawn to the NCAA because of its reputation, the impact it has made in my life, and my love for intercollegiate athletics and student-athletes. That said, the emotion connected to continuing to pursue my career goals of serving and bettering the lives of others far surpasses those tied to the prominence of the organization. Since high school I have been convinced of the power and effectiveness of developing leaders. This position is a tremendous opportunity to continue to serve in that role, where I can help develop student leaders who will create a stronger and more virtuous society.
Keith Zimmer presents Sunny Russell with one of the four top Husker Hero awards.
Q-5: Coming to Nebraska from Texas, how has your perception changed about the state you left and the state you chose?
A-5: Nebraska was a tremendous stepping stone to prepare me for the road ahead. Like most Texans, I enjoyed my state pride and did not think another state could match Texas. The genuine kindness of Nebraskans and those working at this university quickly changed my mind. My outlook has changed, as I now embrace that there are wonderful people wherever you go, and I have been blessed to live in two different states that seem to be especially full of those kinds of people.
Q-6: It's my understanding that you were invited to and once participated in a leadership camp in Dallas. What do you remember most about that camp and how important is it to compare your leadership style with others?
A-6: As my understanding of leadership continues to evolve, I'm convinced more and more that a leader's effectiveness is closely correlated with the character of the leader. Character is the launching point for all other components of strong leadership like genuine communication and conflict resolution. The leadership forum highlighted this idea of leading with integrity and emphasized personal self-discovery as an avenue to leading others through self-awareness.
Sunnday Russell, right, calls her coach, Stacy Underwood, a "phenomenal leader".
Q-7: I don't mean to jump to conclusions. But when a student-athlete receives an internship like this, I have to ask: Are you contemplating getting into college athletics as a career and if so, what's your vision?
A-7: That's a very safe assumption. Seeing my own transformation and development throughout my time at Nebraska has inspired me to want to help in providing this same opportunity to other student-athletes. Although the next step after the NCAA is undetermined, my end-goal is to develop a values-based leadership curriculum.
Q-8: Last question. Who are some of the most interesting people you've met at Nebraska and what made them interesting?
A-8: When I first met Keith Zimmer I was intimidated by his organizational skills, public speaking ability, and overall professionalism. After working with him for four years, I've seen other sides of Keith. He's fun-loving, empowering, and caring. His leadership trickles through his staff and has been a main source of my professional development at Nebraska. One of his former staff members, Jessie Gardner, was an inspiring personal mentor of mine as well as the advisor for our SAAC group. Another mentor is my head coach, Stacy Underwood. She's a phenomenal leader who has inspired my team to believe in ourselves, each other, and this program. She has set a completely new tone for Nebraska Rifle through her example, exceptional intuition, and belief in her shooters. I cannot wait to see this team's success in the future. Finally, one of my mentors, Ashley Stone, is a graduate student working for the UNL Alumni Association. She's taken me in as her own, trained me in professionalism, poise, and confidence, and inspired me to become a much stronger version of myself. I cannot pinpoint how she does it, but I'm truly inspired by every interaction with her and so incredibly thankful for her presence in my life.

'Veedee' vibratory massager, Germany, 1900-1930
The 'Veedee' vibratory massager claimed to cure colds, digestive complaints and flatulence through 'curative vibration'. It is seen here with its original box and two attachments. Instructions on the box state there was almost nothing the German-made 'Veedee' vibrator could not cure. The name is thought to be a pun on the Latin term, 'Veni Vidi Vici'. This means 'I came, I saw, I conquered'. During the late 1800s, massage was considered effective for combating almost any affliction. These ranged from headaches to female 'hysteria'. A huge array of massage tools such as this example were advertised in magazines and newspapers.

Hampton man may be freed on house arrest pending sex assault trialBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
March 22. 2013 2:08PM
BRENTWOOD – A judge who declared a mistrial for a Hampton man charged with sexually assaulting three children will allow him to be freed on lower bail so long as he remains under house arrest.
Leonard Aldrich, 64, of Hampton, is accused of sexually assaulting two young girls and a boy, now age 7, between December 2010 and January 2012.
He is charged with aggravated felonious sexual assault. His trial begins in May.
Judge Marguerite Wageling lowered Aldrich's bail to $1,000 cash from $20,000 – contingent upon him being accepted into the Supervised Community Release from Incarceration Program.
The SCRIP program is a program operated by the corrections and sheriff's department. Aldrich would have to be approved for the program to be released.
Defense lawyer Patrick Fleming said that arrangements have been made through Aldrich's family that he could live in a Hampton home and abide by conditions that he have no contact with victims or witnesses in the case.
Assistant County Attorney Stephanie Johnson argued for keeping Aldrich jailed, citing concerns that the county had no way to supervise him.
Wageling declared a mistrial during the second day of Aldrich's trial when it was revealed the defense did not have access to all documents from the state's Division of Children, Youth and Families concerning the alleged abuse.
Hampton police arrested Aldrich last Jan. 29.

Israel has every right to defend itself against rocket attacks from Gaza. But the Israeli government should be careful that its response does not harm its own security rather than help.
Specifically, if Israel sends troops into Gaza in a repeat of the 2008 Operation Cast Lead the security costs to Israel are likely to outweigh the benefits. The regional context in 2012, in the wake of the Arab Spring, is far different than it was in 2008. Back then, Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak gave tacit and open support to the Israeli operation, and also kept the Rafah exit from Gaza into Egypt closed.
Mubarak is gone. The current Egyptian president, Mohammed Morsi, desperately wants to keep the regional peace and maintain Egypt's peace treaty with Israel; so far he has kept Cairo calm, despite multiple Israeli airstrikes on Gaza (which appear to be far more carefully targeted than in 2008).
But in the new Egypt, Morsi is an elected leader, who has to consider public reactions. If Israel invades Gaza with large scale civilian casualties, and pictures of dying women and children, he will be under pressure from an enraged public, and from members of his own party. Street protests could mount.
Even as I write, Turkey's prime minister, Recep Tayyif Erdogan is arriving in Egypt, where he will probably take a strong public stance, alongside Morsi, against any Israeli invasion. Israel's relationship with Turkey fell apart over the last Gaza invasion, and its cold, but crucial relationship with Egypt could crash over a similar invasion now.
Similarly, Jordan's King Hussein, already under fire over the lifting of subsidies, will be under heavy public pressure to react to a ground incursion. And Syrian President Bashar al Assad, who kept the Golan Front calm during Israel's 2008 invasion of Gaza, may now choose to deflect attention from Syria's ongoing civil war by heating up the border with Israel.
As if this was not enough, Israel must reckon that an invasion of Gaza will ultimately strengthen the Hamas forces it is attacking. New Hamas leaders will emerge if old ones are killed, and Gulf states will pay for Gazans to rebuild. Moreover, Gazans' discontent with Hamas over their isolation will give way to anger over new casualties from an Israeli attack. And Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas will be further marginalized in the West Bank. (Ironically, his bid to have the U.N. General Assembly endorse a Palestinian state and grant the Palestinians observer status is probably the last chance to save the concept of a two state solution from an ignominious end).
So on all fronts, a ground invasion of Gaza is likely to boomerang, by strengthening Hamas, and weakening Israel's position in its neighborhood. Better to stop now and use Egyptian good offices to negotiate another ceasefire with Hamas. That offers no permanent solution, but at least it won't make a bad situation worse.

Standing your ground: Florida's bad example
July 17. 2013 11:39PM
New Hampshire will have to endure without live performances from Stevie Wonder from now on. Or at least until we repeal our stand-your-ground law. Wonder is boycotting states that have such laws. In the days since George Zimmerman's acquittal, more substantial figures than Stevie Wonder, such as U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, have taken to criticizing or protesting stand-your-ground laws in general, as though all of them are the same as Florida's. They are not, which is tremendously important to understand. New Hampshire's law, in particular, is far better than Florida's.
New Hampshire's stand-your-ground law contains this critical phrase: "nor is the use of deadly force justifiable when, with the purpose of causing death or serious bodily harm, the person has provoked the use of force against himself or herself in the same encounter."
In New Hampshire, you cannot pick a fight, use deadly force and then claim self-defense under the stand-your-ground law. Amazingly, that is not the case in Florida.
Florida's law contains a provocation exception, but it carves out exceptions to the exception. In Florida, if you have initiated a confrontation, but during the confrontation you come to believe that your life is in danger, you can legally use lethal force.
In the real world, that means you can initiate a fight or pursue an opponent, kill that opponent, then claim self-defense. And that does happen. A Tampa Bay Times review of the state's stand-your-ground cases found that in "nearly a third of the cases the Times analyzed, defendants initiated the fight, shot an unarmed person or pursued their victim — and still went free."
Florida's law also grants immunity from criminal prosecution, including arrest, to anyone who claims self-defense. Police can make an arrest only if they have probable cause that the self-defense claim is untrue, but if the claim is upheld later the state has to pay court costs. That has created a strong disincentive to arrest anyone who claims self-defense.
Under Florida's stand-your-ground law, there have been many cases of Florida drug dealers and gang members shooting rivals, claiming self-defense, then walking. One drug dealer has killed two rivals and gotten off.
Florida's law is seriously flawed. But it is not New Hampshire's law. Those who use Florida's example to argue for ending all stand-your-ground laws are either ignorant or being deliberately misleading.
