Monroe County Republicans and Democrats alike have work to do as party officials evaluate the Nov. 6 general election and plan for the future.
Monroe County Republicans and Democrats alike have work to do as party officials evaluate the Nov. 6 general election and plan for the future.
For Republicans, it's how to counter the clout of a solid Democratic Party registration edge that has been demonstrated in the last two presidential elections.
Democrats here helped deliver the state to President Barack Obama, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr., and Democratic candidates for state row offices.
For Democrats, it's simply how to use their edge in voters who call themselves Democrats to win more local elections.
Three of the four triumphant state representatives whose districts include part of Monroe County won Nov. 6.
Republicans control the Monroe County Commissioners Board and hold nearly all county row offices, elected in non-presidential election years.
Some 52,094 Monroe County voters, 47.8 percent of the 108,884 registered, are affiliated with the Democratic Party. Another 35,578, or 32.7 percent, are affiliated with the Republican Party.
The rest claim no affiliation or are registered as members of minor parties.
Republicans here have an additional problem: Allegations by two GOP county committeemen that the local party won't reach out to new potential Republicans, including racial and ethnic minorities.
Jabari-Jason Tyson-Phipps, an African-American "Rockefeller Republican," said the county committee has dismissed his calls to hold meetings on Saturdays — when Pocono newcomers, who commute to New York or New Jersey jobs, are available to attend.
"I was shouted down," Tyson-Phipps said. "It just seems you're foreclosing the votes of those people."
The committee reluctantly scheduled, then canceled a Saturday public meeting, he added.
He faults the GOP for not speaking out on issues of concern to newer residents, like bringing New York passenger rail service to Monroe County.
Mike Avery, a one-time tea party activist, calls his fellow committee members elitists who won't reach out beyond the GOP business base to new voters.
"They're very provincial," Avery said. "They reinforce the perception this is a country club party. They don't want to pay attention to street people, period."
Avery and Tyson-Phipps both won their committee posts by writing in their own names on the spring Republican primary ballot, representing two Stroud Township voting districts. No one else received a vote.
"These two guys are just malcontents," said county Republican Chairman Tom Geffers. "The committee is wise to them that they're trying to discredit the committee any way they can."
Geffers points to formation of the Pocono Republican Hispanic Association as significant outreach that state GOP officials plan to adopt elsewhere.
Avery says that group represents business leaders of Latino heritage, not the average Hispanic voter.
Geffers said he first met Tyson-Phipps during the 2008 election, when Tyson-Phipps was an Obama poll watcher wearing an Obama placard inside the Middle Smithfield West polling site.
It is against the law to display election material within 50 feet of a polling place.
Geffers had him ejected until the placard was removed.
"It was so egregious I had to get involved," Geffers said.
Tyson-Phipps said he was a registered Republican then, but agreed to a request to represent the Obama campaign at the polls.
He called the poll watcher job nonpartisan, since the intent was to protect the rights of all voters to cast ballots.
Tyson-Phipps said that as the only black person at GOP committee meetings, he felt like he was under special scrutiny.
He said he was accused by Geffers of recording meeting proceedings on his electronic device, so those discussions could be leaked to Democratic officials.
Geffers said he walked behind Tyson-Phipps — seated in the back of the room — to greet an arriving guest speaker, not to spy as Tyson-Phipps contends. Tyson-Phipps left moments after the incident.
Geffers said he spoke to several East Stroudsburg University political science students before the election, and asked the professor to have her black students address the GOP committee.
The committee wants to reach diverse voters, he said, noting prohibitions on door-to-door politicking in gated communities.
The Monroe County Democratic Party had a respectable showing against two well-known Republican state representatives — Mario Scavello in the 176th District and Rosemary Brown in the 189th — despite the incumbents' superior name recognition, said Sue Lyons, Monroe County Democratic Committee recording secretary.
"We actually did pretty well challenging Scavello and Brown, given the money they had," Lyons said.
Lyons is confident Democrats will start winning more non-presidential, lower-turnout elections.
Lots of local Democratic voters have the additional burden of trying to vote and commute to far-flung jobs, she said.
"I've seen people walk off the (voting) line because they just need to go to work," Lyons said. "That has to change."
State guidelines call for polling sites with no more than 1,200 voters, she said, yet some in Monroe County handle 4,000 to 5,000 potential voters.
The key to consistent Democratic wins is getting job commuters to vote in person or by absentee ballot, she added.
"The commuter — they're busy, they're tired and not all of them are fully integrated into the community," Tiracchia said.
She wants the Voter Registration Office to push for additional polling sites and for more school districts to make their premises available.
The Democratic committee hopes to work with volunteers from the local Obama campaign in getting out the vote in 2014 Congressional races.
"Some of them have volunteered," said Monroe County Democratic Chairwoman Anne Tiracchia. "Look what happened in 2010 when Democrats didn't vote."
That year, Republicans retook the U.S. House and made huge gains in the Senate.

I almost launched into a lecture on manners recently to someone else's child. I didn't, but in hindsight I probably should have. Apparently, no one has taught the boy how to act on a trout stream.
My friend Ted and I were fly fishing one of our favorite rivers. The fish were finicky, a result of too many people after too few fish for too many days. After about four hours I had a total of five strikes, one hookup and one LDR (long distance release, which means it got off).
Few trout were rising to nibble at anything resembling an insect on the surface and they were equally reluctant to bite the plethora of emergers, nymphs and streamers we flung at them until our shoulders were sore. Yet we persevered.
I had just noticed a trout rising occasionally in some slack water at the bottom of a pool Ted and I were fishing. Ted left to seek more productive waters upstream, and I said I'd join him shortly if the rising fish refused to strike. I had just made a pretty good cast, for me, which means the fly landed on the water and not in a tree, and was watching the number 14 elks hair caddis float across the spot where I had last seen the trout dimple the surface, when a boy, 10 or 11 years old, walked to the edge of the water, not five feet from where my fly was drifting.
Had he been schooled in the proper etiquette of trout water he would have known to stay well back from the edge lest his shadow or some noise spook an already tentative trout. He got close.
Then he fell in.
He splashed heavily, sending ripples across the pool and putting down any trout that may have had any notion of trying to eat a ball of fur and feathers.
That wasn't all that bad. I've fallen into the odd river from time to time myself and Ted always finds a bit of amusement in my bedraggled appearance when I catch up to him asking for the keys to his truck so I can change into the dry clothes I always carry on fishing trips. Semper paratis.
So I chuckled, after noting that the boy was not hurt in anything but pride.
But he stood up, cocked his arm and cast into my pool, straight across my fly line. That's when the lecture should have burned his tender ears.
I should have waded the 30 or so feet to the bank, put my hand gently on the lad's noggin and explained that proper fishermen do not encroach on pools occupied by other fishermen. And they certainly never cast across another's line.
Had he asked if I minded him fishing the pool, I'd have invited him to come upstream so we both could fish without threat of fouled lines or fouled tempers.
I should have explained that courtesy makes just as much sense on a stream as it does in school, church or his dining room.
I should have warned him that not all fisher folk he'll meet in life will be as understanding as I and that some may be more apt to inflict pain than instruct in etiquette.
I didn't. I surmised that he would dismiss me as a meddling geezer and the day was too nice to ruin with that thought. I had also noticed several people on the river with more tattoos than teeth and figured that any one of them could be the boy's parent.
So I let the opportunity slip away, reeled in my line, gave him a disgusted look and waded up stream, preferring calm to confrontation. I abhor confrontation, especially if it offers even the slightest opportunity of my face meeting someone's fist.
I found Ted and was explaining the incident to him when I looked downstream just in time to see the boy pull a nice trout from the very spot I had been fishing.
At that point I muttered some useful words I learned from my army drill sergeant during basic training.
Under the circumstances, it seemed appropriate stream etiquette.

Standard format (TCG)
The Standard format of the Pokémon Trading Card Game is one of two formats used for officially-sanctioned Play! Pokémon events along with Expanded format. It was called the Modified format prior to the 2013-2014 season. It is also used in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online.
The Standard format (then referred to as the Modified format) was introduced in 2001. Tournaments in the 2001-2002 season were played in a format that only allowed cards from the Team Rocket expansion on up through Neo Genesis (with the exception of Sneasel, which was banned). Since then, Play! Pokémon has continued to rotate out expansions once per year, usually after the World Championships, to keep the game fresh and, some speculate, to keep players buying cards. The 2009-2010 tournament season did not feature a rotation, and the rotation for the 2010-2011 season rotated out only four expansions, keeping roughly two years' worth of cards in the pool. Additional expansions are added to the current Rotation three weeks after they are released in the United States. Starting from 2016, they were added to the current Rotation on the third Friday in the month of release.
If a card in a Standard-legal expansion is a reprint of an older card, all prints of the card can be played in a Standard-legal expansion-legal deck (e.g. Base Set Potion, recently reprinted in Black & White). However, some cards significantly differ in wording between older prints and newer prints (e.g. Charizard from the Base Set compared to its Stormfront iteration); those cards require a reference outside the deck in order to use the older prints in a Standard-legal deck. A reference must be either a new version of the card or a printout of the card's entry from the official Card-Dex. The Yellow A Alternate cards were introduced in 2017 which were reprints of cards from previous expansions with an alternate artwork. These cards are only allowed in the same formats as the original print.
Foreign language cards
Prior to the 2009-2010 tournament season, foreign-language prints of cards could also be played without limit, as long as the user provided a local-language reference outside the deck. Starting with the 2009-2010 season, however, sanctioned events began to require players to play with cards printed in English or an region's local language (for example, players in the United States are restricted to English cards only, whereas players in Canada can also use cards in French). Some American players who had invested in Japanese versions of cards which were generally less expensive, voiced their displeasure with the change of rules, and as a result, the rules were amended for the 2009-2010 tournament season to allow up to 10% of a player's deck (six cards) to consist of foreign-language cards. Beginning in the 2010-2011 season, Play! Pokémon followed through with their initial plan to allow only English and local-language cards in premier events.

This babe is at the very top of every gal's list of candidates for popping their girl/girl cherry!

Metallica Confirm Release of 3D Movie in 2013
Thrash legends Metallica have revealed on their official website that the band is indeed planning to release a 3D film. Although details on the movie are scarce, the band is planning to secure a 2013 release date for the upcoming feature.
Metallica received much critical praise for their 2004 silver-screen debut, 'Some Kind of Monster.' The documentary focused on the interpersonal turmoil and personal struggles of James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Lars Ulrich during the writing and recording of their 2003 album 'St. Anger.' 'Some Kind of Monster also depicted Metallica's search for a new bassist after the departure of Jason Newsted.
Regarding Metallica's delve into 3D film, the band posted the following message on their official website:
Happy New Year!!! As you know, we generally make it a policy not to comment on gossip or rumors, but we also pride ourselves on being first with 'Tallica news. So, with that said, the more astute of you may have noticed a couple of mentions in trade publications, and most recently in the new issue of Rolling Stone, that a Metallica 3D movie is in the works.
We're here to tell you that, yes, there is indeed a 3D project in the very early stages of production! We wish we could tell you more right now, but we don't have all the finer points nailed down just yet. What we can tell you is that we are planning on being in a theatre near you sometime in 2013 and as you hear us say ever so often, this will be the space for all the details as we finalize them.
Welcome to 2012... we're pretty psyched about the year ahead!
Metallica recently celebrated their 30th year as a band in 2011 by playing a series of small rocking musical evenings in San Francisco and releasing a digital EP titled 'Beyond Magnetic' that contains previously unreleased tracks from the 'Death Magnetic' recording sessions.

Rugged mountaintops, flower-covered alpine meadows, an abundance of outdoor possibilities: Garibaldi Provincial Park is Vancouver's backyard. The park is named after the 2,678-metre-high Mount Garibaldi. A tremendous variety of wildlife and vegetation make this park a favourite with city residents.
The nature reserve, with its dozens of mountaintops, was the result of volcanic activity centuries ago. It is the mountaintops that have made Garibaldi Park so famous. The story dates back to 1907, when a group of 6 mountain climbers ascended to the top of Mount Garibaldi. They were so under the impression of the breathtaking views that more people wanted to follow their example. More and more treks to the top were organised in the years that followed. This ultimately led to the establishment of the Garibaldi Provincial Park in 1927. The park consists of 5 sections and has more than 105 kilometres of trails.

The other day, during my day job, I was chairing a meeting of the sort which I regularly have with my team. As per usual, at the end, when we'd discussed all the main issues, I looked at the faces before me - all of which, I should add, were female - and I said, "Right, that's the main part of the agenda done. Does anyone have any other business?"
"Well, I've definitely got a question I've been dying to ask for the last hour," I continued. "Who's wearing the tuberose fragrance?"
The room exploded in a fit of giggles.
When some semblance of self-control was restored, one of my colleagues - who normally wears Eternity - turned to me and said, "Well, I know I'm wearing Lovely."
"Ahh, Sarah Jessica Parker. That's a very interesting scent," I replied, "but it's not a tuberose."
Glances of horrified surprise were aimed in my direction.
"Actually, as it happens," I carried on, "I've read a book about the creation of Lovely. It was really fascinating."
A muttered comment from the other side of the room reached my ears: "Oh my God, how sad is that!"
"Is no-one else going to confess to wearing a perfume?" I asked, grinning broadly at the scandal I'd apparently caused.
"Well..." another bashful voice ventured, "I'm wearing something I found in my daughter's bedroom... but I don't know what it is..."
More giggles, more red-faced shyness, more English mortification. Someone had sprayed themselves with a very elegant tuberose scent, but for some reason, no-one was willing to admit to it, and everyone thought it was utterly hilarious that I'd even raised the subject.
Don't get me wrong: the whole incident was good-natured and amusing... but I wonder how differently it would have played out if it had taken place, say, in France.

Work on I-564 intermodal connector to begin
- December 27, 2012
- |
The Virginia Department of Transportation and the U.S. Navy have signed an agreement so that work can begin on the Interstate 564 intermodal connector.
The $169 million project will connect the existing interstate through Naval Station Norfolk and to the Port of Virginia's Norfolk International Terminals.
The new road is designed to provide a safer high-speed highway to decrease congestion, remove heavy truck traffic from area streets and improve access to the naval base.
VDOT has already done preliminary engineering, environmental work, right-of-way acquisition and utility design for the project. The agency expects to advertise the work in the first quarter of 2013.
"Extending and realigning I-564 will provide the starting point for a future crossing under the Elizabeth River to Interstate 664," Transportation Secretary Sean T. Connaughton said in a statement.
The I-564 intermodal connector will have four lanes with a grass median and include new bridges and overpasses, exit and entrance ramps, stormwater management areas and other related infrastructure.

Official Motorola Android 4.0 demo videos show off new UI and Webtop 3.0
Motorola's first Android 4.0 updates have yet to roll out, but that doesn't mean we can't get an official look at what the Ice Cream Sandwich build for the Motorola RAZR will look like.Motorola Japan has put up an Android 4.0 page on its site, giving consumers a preview of Motorola's Android 4.0 customizations and the new Webtop 3.0 UI.
We've seen several leaks of Moto's ICS build in the past, and it doesn't look like much has changed. Last time we checked, the Verizon DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX were scheduled to receive their Android 4.0 update before the end of Q2. That gives Motorola roughly five more weeks to deliver the update. Once the RAZR is updated to Android 4.0, updates for the BIONIC, ATRIX and DROID 4 should trickle out in quick succession.
Take a look at the videos below and let us know what you think of Motorola's Android 4.0 customizations.

For a guy who's always talking about how he's not concerned with the competition, Google CEO Larry Page sure ripped into one yesterday.
In an excellent interview with Wired's Steven Levy, he said that Facebook is "a company that's strong in their space," but is "doing a really bad job on their products."
He's got a point.
Two days ago, we noted that Facebook has a bad habit of making a big deal about launching products that come out half-baked, and never really take over the world.
Our list of examples from that post:
- Facebook PR invited lots of press to launch of Facebook Places a couple years ago. VP of product Chris Coxgave a very emotional speech. The product was basically a stripped down version of Foursquare, but without the game-mechanics, badges, or restaurant recommendations. Do you ever use Facebook Places to check-in to a restaurant?
- Facebook Offers was a Facebook's Groupon-killer - sort of. Despite a big announcement, Facebook never really rolled it out across the country, and eventually shut the whole project down.
- Facebook Email. Facebook hosted a big event to roll out its email killer. But the product lacked standard Web email features users can get with Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and lots of other places. When's the last time you sent someone with an @facebook.com address an email? Have you ever?
Here is Page's exact quote:
Wired: One area where people say that Google is indeed motivated by competition is the social realm, where in the past two years you have been working hard in a field dominated by a single rival, Facebook. That's not the case?
Page: It's not the way I think about it. We had real issues with how our users shared information, how they expressed their identity, and so on. And, yeah, they're a company that's strong in that space. But they're also doing a really bad job on their products.

Major Section: THEORIES
Example Calls of Theory Functions: (universal-theory :here) (union-theories th1 th2) (set-difference-theories th1 th2)The theory functions are documented individually:
universal-theory, take a logical name (see logical-name) as an
argument and return the relevant theory as of the time that name was
introduced. Others, like
union-theories, take two theories and
produce a new one. See redundant-events for a caution about
the use of logical names in theory expressions.
Theory expressions are generally composed of applications of theory
functions. Formally, theory expressions are expressions that
involve, at most, the free variable
world and that when evaluated
world bound to the current ACL2 world (see world) return
theories. The ``theory functions'' are actually macros that expand
into forms that involve the free variable
world. Thus, for example
(universal-theory :here) actually expands to
(universal-theory-fn :here world) and when that form is evaluated
world bound to the current ACL2 world,
scans the ACL2 property lists and computes the current universal
theory. Because the theory functions all implicitly use
the variable does not generally appear in anything the user

Painting the nose?
Painting the nose?
As any owner of a chain of auto body shops.....I'd paint it. Make sure the shop does a spray-out to make sure the number of pearl coats is dead on. If they don't, the nose would look funny with two different shades of pearl. DO NOT use the low bidder and make sure they know that you'll be picky( makes sure they go the extra mile)
Hope this helps
You might also consider having the nose vinyl wrapped. It may not color match exactly but it easy to change back.
plasti dip
I think wrapping is a better option if you are trying it out. New nose cone is a couple of hundred bucks.
I was thinking of putting a propeller on mine. My old Studebaker had one.
I say paint it bright red like a clown nose. Or better yet make a clear one and install a red light behind it that way you can make it light up in late December when you're also sporting those cool window antlers. Ha! ;-)
Seriously though, maybe someone with some sublime photoshop skills can do a mock up so you can see if you like it before you buy it. I admit that I'm curious as that black nose does look a bit out of sorts on some colors.
Maybe if there are some photoshop artist here they could do a photoshop trick with a picture of a car in your color so that you can see the difference. Will let you see if the result meets your expectations.
For me I must say I think the black contrast is ok, but on such a machinery them little details must all be perfect. So if you like go for a respray. Even though tricked out paint like perl can be a challenge. just choose a good shop.
You even put photos of your Tesla out in an other thread here so if any photoshop experts reads this and a some spare time maybe they can help OP?
Here is the thread with pictures of his model S:
Do they get perl paint ok with vinyl?
What I have seen of wrapping in the past is not too great on special color like pearl.
Mine is going to be plain white (not pearl) and I intend to do a vinyl wrap on the nose just like the OP mentioned. I'll post when it's done, but don't hold your breath; I'm an expert procrastinator. The car is still a week or two out.
Think I could get away with printing my license plate on it?
Info@Richardpol... I am interested in the results of your vinyl sticker tag. When you get it done, can you start a new thread on that subject so we can find it, please?
Is your buddy a business? Can you post the business name/contact info here?
Also, ask your buddy how hard is it to remove/pull the tag sticker off the car if required (when we get caught and are told to remove it).
Would that part (the nose cone) look bad on Pearl White if Carbon Fiber wrapped? Especially considering that I was going to CF wrap all the Grey lower parts on my Model S anyway.
not my best work (white is most difficult) but quick and dirty...
Here is a great photo as a starting point if there are any photoshop wizards ready to do some work. Would have done it myself and started by looking online for a good photo when I realized I don't have photoshop any more cause this laptop runs Linux. And I have yet to work out Gimp, can't even find magnetic lasso to do a proper select in Gimp so I caved.
Here is the link if any one else would like to take a crack:
BYT; If you don't mind I'd love to see pictures of the CF wrap if you get it done. I was thinking about the exact same thing. I get the diffuser wrapped Monday. I wanted to see how that looked before I did all of the grey parts. I've got a white MS.
I have a Pearl S and I personally like the black nosecone but here's what it would look like using the picture that @torst1 linked to:
Never much liked the nose cone, but like it less in white, perhaps.
Now try red. ;)
@Brian H I'll take that challenge. Post a pic of red and I will give it a shot :)
Use the Gallery to get official Tesla reds to copy.
And I meant add red "nosing" to the white car above, too. >:P
+1 jbunn
Maybe a simple matt black wrap would look better?
The shininess is what bugs me the most.
The more I look at it, the more I think all of the black plastic needs to be covered. Try to imagine the black Tesla emblem in chrome:
Anyone care to take a shot at properly 'shopping something like this?
Nice job kviveiros but the shadow needed fixing too... ;) I love the work you put into the reflections too however.
I still an considering covering the whole thing in Carbon Fiber as well as all the grey spots under the bumper, doors and the rear area, forget what we call those spots. I would use a Vinyl Wrap so it can be removed later if it looks bad over time or if I just don't like the look or get sick of it.
Now this is a bit of a tangent but I came across this and now I want to do it to the Tesla emblem... http://www.thelifefiles.com/2013/02/28/mercedes-benz-will-now-produce-il...
Although, I really did like the front nose design of the alphas with the emblem on the hood and the chrome around the black nose section.
The other thing that is unique on the alpha are the brake lights. I can't tell if I like them better than the current ones or not. The Alpha ones seem more Audi-ish.
Nice - and you got great reflections as well.
Any chance you done this in Gimp? I am new to Gimp and was giving it a go yesterday by it seems that Gimp lack proper lasso tool to properly mark the nose cone. If you know a way that work in Gimp pls share.
Btw did you use filter to make the light reflections?
@Chaser | MARCH 20, 2013 : I really did like the front nose design of the alphas with the emblem on the hood and the chrome around the black nose section.
Yes, I concur. I think the Alpha nose area has more of a minimalistic look. I like the lack of clutter and the logo on the hood.
@torst1 I didn't use Gimp, I'm in graphic design so I used good ole photoshop. The reflections are the ones naturally occurring with some dodge and levels adjustments
@BYT HaHa! I got lazy out on the reflection and you called me out :)

College students arrive to help Habitat build
Habitat for Humanity of Jefferson County was the recipient of international help last week when a number of students traveled to Southeast Texas to assist with the construction of a new home.
Eighteen students from University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, made the 1,500-mile trek to Southeast Texas to help out with the framing of a new Habitat home.
The venture is possible because of Habitat's participation in the annual Collegiate Challenge program organized by Habitat for Humanity International. Through the Collegiate Challenge, the local affiliate will receive volunteer help from college students during their spring break, what Uliana Trylowsky, executive director for Habitat for Humanity of Jefferson County, called an "alternate spring break."
"It's always a pleasure to work with these groups of college students who're so motivated and interested in helping others," said Trylowsky. "These students travel at their own expense and stay in local churches, sleeping on the floor, so they can help us frame up a house. I am always impressed by this sense of duty and desire to help others."Prior to getting to work, students were able to enjoy some tourist attractions during their journey to Texas, stopping by Graceland in Memphis, shopping in Louisiana, spending a day on Galveston Island, followed by a trip to Gator Country.
Construction began on a new house on Shalom Street in Beaumont on Tuesday, Feb. 22, and Trylowsky said the students were very generous.
"They actually pay the affiliate a donation to come and work with us. Each Habitat affiliate sets their own rate. We only charge $125 per person to come for the week. That money helps with material costs for the house and food that I buy them for lunch," she said. "They have free lodging by staying at Wesley United Methodist Church. It's not like staying in the hotel room, but it works for them to stay and cook their meals. And for the most part, they drive down."
The students were able to take part in the spring break road-trip adventure that also benefits the less fortunate because the university is a Habitat campus chapter.
"Habitat for Humanity is a very big organization and it offers many different programs to attract different types of volunteers and their interest levels. One thing they do for young people to get them involved in volunteering, they have a program called Campus Chapter. The organization applies for that designation from Habitat for Humanity International. They have to be accepted as a campus chapter and be tied to the Habitat affiliate in that area," said Trylowsky.
As members of a Habitat for Humanity campus chapter, students like those from Guelph are already active in their local communities by taking part in Habitat for Humanity."The campus chapter will offer the alternate spring break to the students. And if they like doing that kind of thing and are looking for a fun adventure they'll sign up," she said.The group spent the week framing the house. And in coming weeks, other groups of students will follow in their footsteps when students from Coe College, located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, make the trip to Southeast Texas on March 7, followed by Salem State College students from Massachusetts on March 14, and students from the University of Colorado-Boulder on March 21.

Motors for electric power steering
Compared with conventional steering systems, EPS systems bring many advantages, which are reflected in greater systems efficiency and comfort for the driver. It is pleasing to note that the reduction of fuel consumption in some applications amounts to 6 percent, which corresponds to approximately 8 grams less of CO2 per kilometer. Extremely low cogging torque, low noise operation, and high power density are the main advantages of MAHLE EPS motors. To comply with functional safety, additional options like dual winding on the stator are available.

Major Section: BREAK-REWRITE
Example: :brr t ; if you haven't done that yet :monitor (:rewrite lemma12) t ; to install a break point on the ; rule named (:rewrite lemma12)
ACL2 does not support Nqthm's
break-lemma but supports a very
similar and more powerful break facility. Suppose some proof is
failing; apparently some particular rule is not being used and you
wish to learn why. Then you need the ACL2 break-rewrite facility.
See break-rewrite and all of its associated
doc topics for
details. The following basic steps are required.
(1) To enable the ``break rewrite'' feature, you must first execute
ACL2 !>:brr tat the top-level of ACL2. Equivalently, evaluate
(brr t).
Break-rewrite stays enabled until you disable it with
(brr nil).
When break-rewrite is enabled the ACL2 rewriter will run slower than
normal but you will be able to monitor the attempts to apply
specified rules.
(2) Decide what runes (see rune) you wish to monitor. For
example, you might want to know why
(:rewrite lemma12 . 2) is not
being used in the attempted proof. That, by the way, is the name of
the second rewrite rule generated from the event named
The command
ACL2 !>:monitor (:rewrite lemma12 . 2) twill install an ``unconditional'' break point on that rule. The ``
t'' at the end of the command means it is unconditional, i.e., a
break will occur every time the rule is tried. ACL2 supports
conditional breaks also, in which case the
t is replaced by an
expression that evaluates to non-
nil when you wish for a break to
occur. See monitor. The above keyword command is, of course,
equivalent to
ACL2 !>(monitor '(:rewrite lemma12 . 2) t)which you may also type. You may install breaks on as many rules as you wish. You must use
monitor on each rule. You may also
change the break condition on a rule with
monitor. Use
(see unmonitor) to remove a rule from the list of monitored
(3) Then try the proof again. When a monitored rule is tried by the
rewriter you will enter an interactive break, called break-rewrite.
See break-rewrite for a detailed description. Very simply,
break-rewrite lets you inspect the context of the attempted
application both before and after the attempt. When break-rewrite
is entered it will print out the ``target'' term being rewritten.
If you type
:go break-rewrite will try the rule and then exit,
telling you (a) whether the rule was applied, (b) if so, how the
target was rewritten, and (c) if not, why the rule failed. There
are many other commands. See brr-commands.
(4) When you have finished using the break-rewrite feature you should disable it to speed up the rewriter. You can disable it with
ACL2 !>:brr nilThe list of monitored rules and their break conditions persists but is ignored. If you enable break-rewrite later, the list of monitored rules will be displayed and will be used again by rewrite.
You should disable the break-rewrite feature whenever you are not intending to use it, even if the list of monitored rules is empty, because the rewriter is slowed down as long as break-rewrite is enabled.
If you get a stack overflow, see cw-gstack.

Jacks Bounce Western Illinois In Four Sets
BROOKINGS, SD -- South Dakota State and Western Illinois played close all night on Saturday at Frost Arena, but the Jackrabbits stepped up when they needed the points to secure a 3-1 win over the Fighting Leathernecks in Summit League volleyball action.
SDSU improves to 10-4 overall and to 3-1 in The Summit League by the set scores of 25-16, 21-25, 25-23 and 25-20. Western Illinois falls to 7-8 overall and to 2-3 in league play.
"I thought we were much more solid on defense tonight, and I really liked our focus at the beginning of the match," head coach Phil McDaniel said. "We paid close attention to our blocking assignments and were very good in transition tonight."
The Jackrabbits finished with a 14-9 edge in team blocks, led by Kelli Fiegen, who posted a match-high nine blocks, eight block assists and one solo block. She also knocked down 11 kills for the Jacks in the win.
Kaitlin Klingemann led way with 14 kills, adding a pair of service aces and four block assists. Kelly Herrmann pitched in with nine kills to go along with her 11 digs and three blocks, two assist and one solo.
Shay Birath finished with 25 digs to lead the defense, and Lexi Fowler added 10 digs to go with her 27 set assists for her team-high fourth double-double of the season.
Ann Miller led the visitors with 16 kills. Kaitie Hosteng added 12 kills in the loss.
Western scored first and took an early lead, but the Jacks quickly responded with a 5-0 run that ended with a 7-3 lead that they would not relinquish in winning the opening set 25-16.
Both the second and third sets featured 11 ties and at least three lead changes to determine a winner. WIU trailed by as many as five points at 15-10 in the second set, but ended the set on a 15-6 run to win 25-21 and tie the match at 1-1.
The third set looked much the same as the second, with ties at 6-6 through 16-16 before the Jackrabbits pulled away to go up 23-18. The Jacks finally capitalized on their third attempt at set point before they won the set 25-23.
The Leathernecks led for much of the fourth set, which saw nine tie scores before the Jacks got over the hump at 14-14, part of a 5-1 run the put the set out of reach.
The win concludes a three match home stand for the Jackrabbits, who return to the road for three matches next week, starting with a non-conference affair with Valparaiso on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The Crusaders downed the Jacks 3-2 on Aug. 25, at the Hawkeye Challenge in Iowa City.

The Chiefs scored on the first possession of the game, and in the last second of the half, and took a 17-14 lead over the Panthers at the break.
Brady Quinn hit Tony Moeaki for a 1-yard touchdown just before the half to take the lead, on a day when neither team looks very good defensively.
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was 6-of-10 passing for 116 yards and two touchdowns, but the Chiefs have a 217-180 edge in yardage at the half, thanks to a clean half by quarterback Quinn (12-of-14 for 122 yards and a touchdown).
The Panthers have also lost a pair of players to injury, as safety Sherrod Martin suffered what appeared to be a significant knee injury, while linebacker James Anderson was poked in the eye and hasn't returned.
Chiefs running back Jammal Charles has 73 yards on the ground, and he's finding plenty of holes in the Panthers run defense, which lost nose tackle Ron Edwards last week.

The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) calls last Friday's passage of the House of Representatives' Farm, Nutrition and Bioenergy Act of 2007 a win for production agriculture. The bill passed by a vote of 231-191.
"Passing a farm bill is a long and evolving legislative process," said NCGA President Ken McCauley. "We believe the House of Representatives fashioned a bill that provides for a safety net and moves the process forward. Chairman Collin Peterson and the House Agriculture Committee showed leadership when they included a revenue-based counter cyclical program in the bill. During debate on the House floor, there were many references to the benefits of a revenue-based farm program."
NCGA advocates a farm bill with a county-based revenue countercyclical program that triggers payments based on a farm's revenue rather than a crop's price. The House bill's Commodity Title gives producers the option to enter into a national revenue-triggered countercyclical program or a program similar to one currently available in the 2002 Farm Bill. The House bill also includes restrictions on income and payment limits.
"Despite a tough federal budget climate, the bill has adequate funding, and the Kind-Flake amendment was handily defeated by a vote of 309-117," McCauley said. "NCGA's state associations and grassroots membership turned out in full force to beat back Representative Kind's efforts, and I applaud all of our members' efforts."
The attention now turns to the Senate. Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) last week introduced the Farm Safety Net Improvement Act of 2007. NCGA praised the senators for their leadership in advancing the revenue program. The Senate Agriculture Committee will begin action on its farm bill after the August recess.
"NCGA is looking forward to a good debate in the Senate, and we are hopeful the senators move quickly and get a farm bill to conference committee with the House," McCauley said.

Third-Line Treatment for Small Cell Lung Cancer
I was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer with metastasis to the liver. After a couple of cycles of topotecan and paclitaxel, I improved, but my cancer later progressed. My chemotherapy was changed several months ago to cisplatin and irinotecan, which seemed to significantly help me. However, in the last month I started feeling worse, and CT scans show by cancer is now more widespread. I'm now waiting for my oncologist to decide what to do next. But my question to you is: are there other chemotherapy treatments that could be prescribed in cases like mine?
Barbara Campling, MD, Medical Oncologist, responds:
When you were first diagnosed with small cell lung cancer, it had spread to your liver. It sounds like you had a very good response to your initial chemotherapy with paclitaxel (Taxol) and topotecan. The majority of cases of small cell lung cancer respond initially to chemotherapy, sometimes dramatically. However, unfortunately, when the cancer has spread outside of the chest at diagnosis, it almost invariably recurs, and then it becomes more difficult to treat.
In your case, when the cancer started to grow again, you were treated with two drugs that are very active in small cell lung cancer, irinotecan and cisplatin. Again, the cancer responded, but unfortunately it has now started to regrow yet again. Responses to second-line chemotherapy are generally not as dramatic as the responses to initial therapy, and the duration of response is often not as long. This is because the cancer cells become resistant to chemotherapy, and not just the drugs that have already been used, but also to other structurally and functionally unrelated drugs. This is a phenomenon called "multidrug resistance." Scientists have come a long way in understanding how cancer cells become multidrug resistant, but unfortunately, we do not yet have any clinically effective medications for overcoming this resistance.
Did your cancer start to grow again while you were still receiving your second-line chemotherapy? If this is the case, the chances of responding to other chemotherapy drugs are quite low. If you have been off of chemotherapy for a few months before the cancer started to regrow, then the chances of responding to further treatment are a bit better, although the tumor is not likely to respond as well as to previous treatments. There are a number of other drugs with activity in small cell lung cancer, including etoposide (VP-16) and gemcitabine. If you are feeling well enough, it may be worth trying further chemotherapy. If you respond again, there may be some improvement in your symptoms, as well as some prolongation of your life. If you do not have further chemotherapy or if further treatment is not effective, you should talk to your doctor about what can be done to make you more comfortable and control pain or whatever symptoms that you may be having. Even when chemotherapy does not help, there are usually other interventions that can be done to relieve the symptoms of this difficult disease.

NEW ORLEANS, La. (June 22, 2012) – The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) today issued its 2012 Thumbs Down Award to TIME Magazine for its lack of diversity within its reporting corps. The Thumbs Down Award is given annually for reporting, commentary or other content found to be racially insensitive, or for practices at odds with the mission of NABJ. The award was announced during NABJ's 37th Annual Convention & Career Fair in New Orleans.
"TIME Magazine once boasted a number of black correspondents, including Wallace Terry, Jack White, Janice Simpson, Sylvester Monroe. However the publication currently does not have a full-time black correspondent," said NABJ President Gregory Lee. "Additionally, the magazine has eliminated blacks from major news coverage, including a special commemorative issue on the 10th anniversary of the Sept.11, 2011, terrorist attacks that depicted no African Americans. Also, the magazine recently lost its only black correspondent. We feel that TIME Magazine can do more to champion diversity, this is why we are bringing attention to TIME Magazine."
The award aims to call attention to an individual or organization for especially insensitive, racist or stereotypical reporting, commentary, photography or a cartoon at odds with the goals of NABJ. Past recipients include columnist Armstrong Williams, former New York Times reporter Jayson Blair, and most recently, cable news networks.
"Doing smart journalism that helps drive the national conversation is something to which black journalists also aspire, and having that opportunity at places like TIME is the dream of plenty of journalists," said NABJ Vice President of Print Errin Haines. "But the absence of black journalists at places like TIME sends a message that we are not valued for what we could bring to such venerable and influential legacy publications, and gives little hope to those black journalists who would hope to one day see their names on the masthead." NABJ also announced a Best Practices Award to TV One's Find Our Missing television show. This series counters the media's tendency to focus on white women and children in peril, telling the stories of missing black people in a docudrama format. The show also features a website with links to organizations aimed at finding missing people of color, Twitter and Facebook links and a method for readers to submit tips for solving the cases highlighted.
National Association of Black JournalistsAn advocacy group established in 1975 in Washington, D.C. NABJ is the largest organization of journalists of color in the nation, NABJ provides educational, career development and support to black journalists worldwide.

Redditor Parent Makes Hilarious Family Christmas Cards
Aside from that time when a cousin, without a trace of irony, sent a family Christmas card that was a picture of all the kids dressed up in hunting camo holding rifles, these are the best family Christmas cards ever. They were made by Redditor TPThatsMe, and if you go to the post on Imgur, you can also watch a video for how each of the photos came into being.
Not only are they hilarious, it's also cool to watch kids grow up over the course of eight Christmas cards. And to count their tattoos. Enjoy!

PHILADELPHIA (AP)— Looking for some pop and maybe a little punch from Scott Hartnell, the Flyers graciously accepted his offer to play Saturday despite not his being completely healthy.
His shot was rusty and he could barely move, but Hartnell did what he could in this premature return, which means he tried to push a lot of Winnipeg Jets around.
Just what the Flyers needed to pull out an important victory.
Having lost all seven of their games this season in which they trailed entering the third period, the Flyers finally reversed that trend, thanks to final-frame power play goals by Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds that paved the way for a 5-3 victory over the Jets at Wells Fargo Center.
At the heart of this rare late comeback was the younger Schenn brother, who might have started this season a tad low, but over his last 13 games he's compiled six goals and 15 points. Two of the bigger points in that run came in this third period.
For his first act, Schenn capitalized on a terrific backpass by an onrushing Jakub Voracek, Schenn finishing it off with a sharp shot past Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec to get the game tied at 3-3.
Then with 11:03 left in regulation, it was Schenn playing playmaker to get the Flyers their first lead of the day. This time it was Schenn threading a pass past Pavelec and through to Wayne Simmonds, who jammed it into the open net for 4-3.
It was retribution for Simmonds, who had his second straight so-called Gordie Howe hat trick (goal, assist and fight), and more significantly has five goals and five assists over his last eight games.
But that Simmonds goal was also a direct result of Hartnell doing what he could do - the rough stuff, successfully using it to goad big, strong and very young Evander Kane into simultaneous minor penalties while mixing it up with Hartnell. That gave the Flyers the power play they turned into a winning goal.
Zac Rinaldo carried the puck the length of the ice before rolling it into an empty net right at the final horn to complete the scoring and a run of four straight goals for the Flyers.
Brayden Schenn also scored in the first and Claude Giroux had a power play goal in the second period for the Flyers. Kane had given the Jets a lead 4:48 into the game, and Olie Jokinen, Alexander Burmistrov scored in the second to give them a 3-1 lead ... which wouldn't last.
Hartnell, Flyers frustrate the Jets

Every year around Christmas I like to unburden myself of several fine books that I've been sent to review during the year. This season shall be no different. The rules remain the same, simply leave a comment below to be entered into a random drawing to win the book. I'll post a list of winners on Jan. 4.
Today's book is: Planet Ape, by Desmond Morris (hardcover, 288 pages).
The former curator of mammals at London Zoo and filmmaker Desmond Morris takes readers into the rapidly disappearing world of apes. From the publisher:
From peace-loving bonobos to warring chimpanzee communities and from highly sociable gorillas to solitary orangutans, Planet Ape is the first book to do justice to the diversity and complexity of the ape world and what it tells us about our own.
Unimaginable habitat loss, war, hunting and disease all threaten to wipe the great apes from the wild. Planet Ape seizes the moment, examining attempts to safeguard these species, including reserves, captive breeding and reintroduction.
And this concludes the five days of Christmas. I'll draw the names of winners next Monday, so the contest will remain open until then. Hope you enjoyed it.
I'm going to take a few days away from blogging before returning, hopefully rested and restored, for great things in the year 2010. I hope everyone who participates here has a great holiday season.

Here's How Huge An Independent Scotland's Debt Problem Would Actually Be
The chart above, from a paper by the Institute of Fiscal Studies, shows how rapidly Scotland's public finances could deteriorate if it votes for independence. Public sector net borrowing, the amount the country has to borrow on top of what it raises in tax revenues, is projected to leap from around 4% in a decade to over 10% by the middle of the century. This would send public debt rocketing up to 200% of GDP.
That's a larger hole than the one Greece is in.
And here's the problem with that, according to the IFS:
Although it is uncertain exactly what interest rate an independent Scottish government would be able to borrow at, it seems implausible that any small economy that was reliant on foreign investors to help finance its public deficit could continue to borrow at a [UK average] rate of 5% if public sector net debt really was on course to approach 200% by the middle of the century.
A higher deficit would lead to a vicious cycle of increased interest payments forcing the country to borrow more and worsening its budget position further.
Even worse news for the pro-independence campaign is that the key drivers of this trend are structural factors that Scottish policymakers can do little about. Firstly, Scotland is aging at a faster pace than the rest of the U.K., meaning that costs associated will old age (in particular pensions and healthcare) are likely to rise faster while the tax base from which the government can raise money to fund them will be shrinking.
Of course, if an independent Scotland adopted a more liberal immigration policy it would be possible to offset this problem. Alex Salmond has already suggested he would try to increase net migration to the country after independence. But even under an optimistic scenario the trajectory remains the same.
Perhaps more worrying for the Yes vote are projections for North Sea oil revenues. In July this year the Office for Budget Responsibility, the U.K. government's independent economic advisory body, projected oil and gas revenues are set to decline sharply over the next few years just as an independent Scotland would be trying to get onto its feet.
What this means is that, although many Scots will be voting for Independence in order to loose themselves from the austerity policies of the current Coalition government in the U.K., the reality is that an independent Scotland may well have to tighten its belt at an ever greater pace in order to have sustainable finances. Even under the most optimistic of the IFS's assumptions this would mean higher taxes and lower spending than south of the border.
Rather than throwing off the yoke of Westminster, Scotland may simply be replacing it with a heavier one from Edinburgh.

Falling in Reverse Release Cover of Coolio's 'Gangsta's Paradise'
Yep, you read that title correctly. Falling in Reverse have covered the Coolio classic 'Gangsta's Paradise' for 'Punk Goes 90s Vol. 2.' The new CD contains some pretty impressive covers of 90s classics, but Falling in Reverse's contribution to the album has garnered a very polarizing response.
The 'Punk Goes…' series has been a musical institution since 'Punk Goes Metal' was released in 2000. Perhaps the most celebrated edition is 'Punk Goes Pop,' which hit shelves in 2002, featuring covers by Thrice, Rufio, Stretch Arm Strong, Yellowcard and many others.
Although 'Punk Goes 90s Vol. 2' doesn't feature any punk acts, the franchise continues with some truly interesting re-imaginations of popular '90s hits. Asking Alexandria tried out Nine Inch Nails' 'Closer,' Motionless in White gave their take on Rammstein's 'Du Hast' and the Color Morale took on Foo Fighters' 'Everlong' in just a few of 12 total covers.
Falling in Reverse vocalist Ronnie Radke has dabbled with rap in the past with mixed results, and 'Gangsta's Paradise' is no exception. Check out the Coolio cover in the player above and check out the entire 'Punk Goes 90s Vol. 2' album stream via the Fearless Records YouTube channel.
