DETROIT — The Trump administration is expected to announce that it’s going to roll back automobile fuel mileage and air pollution requirements.
Automakers sought after the federal government to relax the current requirements, which were imposed by means of the Obama administration to battle local weather modification. they are saying the principles will value the business billions of dollars and lift vehicle prices.
However environmentalists say the fitting era is available to extend a automobile’s gas mileage and development it into the auto saves money on the pump.
Any amendment is likely to set up a long felony showdown with California, which currently has the ability to set its personal air pollution and fuel mileage requirements and doesn’t want them to change.
EPA spokeswoman Liz Bowman mentioned in an email Friday that the factors are nonetheless being reviewed.

Italy’s got it all. Whether you’re marveling at the historic site of epic gladiator fights in the Colosseum, doing that pose with the Leaning Tower of Pisa, relaxing in a gondola on the busy Grand Canal, or throwing coins over your shoulder at Trevi Fountain, there are so many things to enjoy in Italy. As Maximus would put it, “Are you not entertained?” It’s hard to be bored here. You can’t resist the country’s beauty, history, and rich culture.

The decision by Labor Secretary-designate Andrew Puzder to step down before his confirmation hearing shows once more that workers’ voices need to count when our nation sets workplace rules, AFL-CIO President John Patrick said today.
“When working people speak up together, they can move mountains,” Patrick said. “Across the country, Andrew Puzder’s own fast-food employees, joined by millions of working people who understood the stakes, said ‘No!’ to President Trump’s choice of a Labor Secretary whose labor ideal is a roomful of robots.”
Patrick noted Puzder opposed a decent minimum wage, fair overtime rules, expanded health care and other basic kitchen-table needs of working families. In an administration that has made a top priority of instilling fear in immigrant workers, Puzder personally employed an undocumented housekeeper and failed to pay employment taxes in connection with her work. Workers in his fast-food restaurants spoke out about substandard working conditions they face every day.
“Many working people who criticized Andrew Puzder’s nomination referred to him in social media as the ‘Anti-Labor Secretary,’” Patrick noted. “We call on President Trump to nominate a leader who will put the ‘Labor’ in ‘Secretary of Labor’ – someone who understands that the voices of workers matter and that all workers should have a fair shot at success.”
The Texas AFL-CIO is a state labor federation consisting of 237,000 affiliated union members who advocate for working families in Texas.

Why get my car loan at a credit union?
Nationally, credit unions are among the most competitive vehicle lenders. We're not-for-profit, so our focus is on member service, not the bottom line. That allows us to typically offer lower loan rates and fewer fees than the competition. We're also owned by the very members we serve, so you know you'll be treated like more than just a customer. You are an owner, and it is our goal to make you feel that way whenever we can.
At what stage of the car-buying process should I apply for my loan?
Though you can wait until the very last minute to apply for a vehicle loan, your best bet is to visit NW Plus CU or call us before you even begin to shop. The application process will give you a clear idea of just how much you can afford. Armed with this knowledge, you likely won't get talked into a vehicle that's out of your price range. If you have your auto loan pre-approved, you can often save yourself a return visit to the credit union. Ask your loan officer for more information about auto loan pre-approval.
Is applying for a loan on my credit union's website safe?
Absolutely. NW Plus CU uses state of the art encryption technology to ensure your loan application and personal information remains secure. Upon retrieval of this information, we will handle your web-application with the same confidentiality we administer to all personal documents. Online Application
The credit union's loan rate is lower, but other financing gives me lower monthly payments. Why is that?
It could be for any number of reasons, you are probably getting a lower monthly payment because you are stretching out the term of the loan. (ie: You are making more payments over the life of the loan) Before getting sold on a lower monthly payment, compare apples to apples. There may be some serious downsides to a loan that on the surface looks unusually affordable...And be sure to investigate the payment-lowering options at your credit union - Chances are, we have an option that will fit your budget, and won't beat you up in the long run.
What does the phrase 'upside down' mean when referring to owning a car?
A borrower is 'Upside Down' on their auto loan when they owe more than the vehicle is worth. This typically happens in the early months of a loan, especially when little or no down payment has been made. One of the key disadvantages of being upside down comes from an insurance perspective. If your vehicle is totaled, your policy may only cover the worth of the vehicle, and not necessarily the full balance of your loan.

One of the best ways to improve a property is by adding a privacy fence. A privacy fence is a quick project that is far less invasive to your daily routine around your home than many other types of home improvements, but the benefits are still plentiful!
One of the main benefits of a privacy fence is that it provides just that – privacy! By creating a visual barrier, a privacy fence restricts the view of your property from neighboring homes.
This can be especially beneficial if outdoor areas, such as a pool, hot tub, patio, etc., are incorporated into your home’s backyard. Fences also help to create clear-cut property boundaries, which can help keep objects, people, and other items from encroaching on your property.
Adding a fence is also one of the ways to improve your backyard. Privacy fences improve the overall backyard space of your property.
Not only do they provide an enhanced level of safety for you and your family, but they also create a better-looking property.

Banh Mi 25 is located near our hotel - so we went during the not so crowded hours. Service was fast. The bread was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Ingredients was fresh. Overall tasted really good. I would give it 5 stars...More
We were so glad that there were vegetarian options available on the menu! My husband ordered the mushroom banh mi while I had the tofu banh mi. Both were delicious! Crispy bread with fresh ingredients. Would definitely return on my next trip to Hanoi.
A bit of a walk from the centre of the old quarter but definitely worth it. Tiny shop which serves amazing Vietnamese baguettes- tried bbq pork with all the recommended accompaniments as well as vegetarian egg and cheese. Everyone who visits Hanoi should try one.

Can you guess what % of Americans have high blood pressure?
Nearly 1/3 of us! That’s according to researchers at the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
This means that 67 million Americans are at an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and more.
From data collected through telephone surveys by state health departments across the country, scientists found that blood pressure was higher among seniors, men, blacks and those with less education compared to younger people, women, Asians and people with higher levels of education.
Fortunately, high blood pressure is largely preventable. Preventive steps you can take include: manage your weight, stop smoking, drink alcohol only in moderation, avoid too much sodium and fats in the diet, and exercise regularly.

World premiere performance of acclaimed American composer David Ludwig’s ‘Pangaea’ for Piano and Strings.
Commissioned by the Bravo! Vail Festival, the 18 minute tone poem describes the prehistorical time, over two hundred million years ago, when the Earth was a single huge continent surrounded by one vast ocean - eons before dinosaurs, and much less humans.
“When I think about Pangaea — that another earth existed an inconceivable amount of time ago — I am both overwhelmed and comforted,” David has told The Violin Channel.
“ ... that we are so small only reinforces how precious our lives are and how fragile this world is … and I am left with renewed appreciation that we have music to inspire us to thought and action,” the Curtis Institute of Music faculty member has said.
Recorded live on August 3rd, 2017, the premiere performance features the members of the Aeolus, Calder and Lyris String Quartet, pianist Anne-Marie McDermott and bassist Rachel Calin.

Former Cincinnati Planned Parenthood Director & President
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, March 15, 2018 (Cincinnati, OH): From our friends at First Freedom Ohio…
Yesterday, Federal District Court Judge Timothy Black [President Obama appointee] blocked an Ohio law that prohibits aborting children merely because they have been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
The media is reporting on this story widely:
Yet not one of these stories mentions the fact that Judge Timothy Black is the
former Director and President of Planned Parenthood Cincinnati.
Here’s a section from his biography submitted to the US Senate.
“Every child deserves protection from abortion regardless of ability or disability,” said Paula Westwood, Executive Director, Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati. “However, when there is, for example, Iceland with no Down syndrome people because nearly all have been eliminated before birth, this bill is necessary to protect these children and their parents from deadly bigotry and discrimination.”

HURON, Kan. -- (WHAM) -- Authorities say a councilwoman for a tiny Kansas town kicked, hit and scratched deputies and that they had to use a stun gun to subdue her.
Atchison County Sheriff's Office Sheriff Jack Laurie says 48-year-old Carol Fowler remains jailed Wednesday on $25,000 bond after the June 29 melee. It began when deputies went to Fowler's home in the 70-person town of Huron to arrest her for failing to appear in court on unrelated charges. Laurie says she later broke a jailer's thumb when she bit it, leading to a felony charge. Her attorney didn't immediately return a phone message.

AMG & 200 Productions new unscripted reality series, OPERATION THANK YOU, will follow two Carolina-based NASCAR racing teams, JD Motorsports and MBM Motorsports, as they build five special stock cars to honor the U.S armed forces. The series will culminate with the "Visit Myrtle Beach 200," a private racing event this fall at the Myrtle Beach Speedway.
Original music for the series preformed by Nora Collins and Eric Dodd, two of America’s top music artist, singer songwriters. “It is an honor for us to support this series and say thank you the men and women of the US Armed Forces.” -Nora Collins.
“If you believe in our country, our military and you love the red white and blue, then this is the series for you.” -Allen Scheid, Executive Producer
This new series puts race fans in the cockpit and behind the wheel for a high-octane, pedal- to-the-metal viewing experience like no other. Race team owners, Johnny Davis and Carl Long, will open their doors to allow race fans to go behind the scenes as their teams prepare to host this unprecedented free 200 lap event out of respect and admiration for the U.S. armed forces. The competing stock cars will represent the Air Force, the Army, the Coast Guard, the Navy, and the Marine Corp. Tune in and watch them build five theme cars, organize a new annual racing event and the good, bad and ugly of their day-to-day pro race business.
Guests from the five services of the U.S. military are invited to attend this free event, along with reservists and civilian defense personnel. No uniforms will be required, so attendees are encouraged to come as they are and enjoy the festivities, which includes the race, parades, marching bands and live music, all held in beautiful Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The people and business of Myrtle Beach will help keep costs affordable for our military personnel to spend a great weekend.
“This is our way of saying thank you to the men and women who serve and sacrifice for our country,” says Johnny Davis, a veteran team owner and former crew chief who has competed in NASCAR for 27 years. “We race because we love what we do. We are grateful to our families and communities for helping us do what we love. We know that without the men and women who serve in our armed forces, none of this would be possible.”
Carl Long, a team owner and driver in the NASCAR Xfinity & Cup Series, added, “Members of the U.S military sacrifice for all of us, and they keep us safe so we can live the racing life. As a way of saying thank you to those who serve in the United States military, we will race for our country, military, and the families of the U.S. armed forces.”
On race day, when we hear Gentlemen start your engines and the checkered flag flies against the backdrop of the stunning Myrtle Beach skyline, the party will crank up, with musical artists and special guests joining Davis and Long on stage to entertain the U.S. servicemen and servicewomen with a tribute concert.
The ceremonies will close with a special candlelight light ceremony following the concert, featuring Nora Collins and Eric Dodd, with sky lanterns released into the air in honor of the men and women of the armed forces who have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country.
“Visit Myrtle Beach is proud to be an integral part of this new and exciting docu-reality show that has been created to celebrate true American heroes – the men and women of our amazing U.S. military,” says Scott Schult, Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce. “We’re ready to welcome thousands of active military families to witness firsthand the excitement of live racing at the Visit Myrtle Beach 200 and to enjoy lots of fun in the sun along our beautiful beaches.”
The production team behind OPERATION THANK YOU is filming throughout the Carolinas since July with the help of the film commissions representing the Myrtle Beach area, South Carolina, North Carolina, several local and regional businesses.

Forget Glastonbury – on the 15th July we’re going to be all about ZOOQUARIUM, a festival showcasing the best in new and local music throughout East Sussex.How does cocaine affect your vagina?
The festival, which is aimed at 14 – 24-year-olds, yet is open to everyone, is aiming to support young people in achieving their potential within music, while providing roles for young people to get involved in event management, technical support and marketing.
On their website, it states: ‘The aim of the festival is to celebrate and showcase the talent of local young people. We welcome local singer-songwriters and bands to perform alongside professional musicians. The idea is to give a platform to local young people to perform on Hastings Pier on a large stage, with professional equipment and support and to be able to reach new audiences.’
Unsigned acts play to the public and festival-goers are encouraged to dress up as their favourite zoo animal, which can include the likes of zebras, elephants and lions…unless of course, you fancy going outside of the box with something more exotic.
Located on Hastings Pier, ZOOQUARIUM applauds itself on being a festival without the mud – thanks to the fact it’s set above the pier adding to the ‘QUARIUM’ part of its name.
Headlining the festival, which takes place just a short train ride from London, will be Rat Boy, with support from London-based indie-pop band WE-ARE-Z.
According to Garry James, a spokesperson for the festival, ‘the best thing about the festival is that you need to dress up.’
He also added that there will be lots going on at the event – with four different stages – Starling Stage, Sunset Stage, Journey To The Deep Stage and Lounge Lizard Stage – to enjoy.
Each stage is hosting a variety of different acts during the festival, so there is something for everybody to enjoy.
And, as the festival is mainly themed around the zoo, there will be all sorts of things to take photos of including 1.5-metre animals.
There will also be three main zones offering different things within the festival, each named after three animals: Monkey, Penguin and Fish.
And don’t worry about packing a picnic, either, as the festival will host a selection of food traders from London and throughout East Sussex.
You can also enjoy fabulous drinks in the Grazing Ground and cocktails at the Pink Flamingo cocktail bar on the Upper Deck, if you fancy a Mojito whilst listening to the music and gazing out to the ocean.
One lucky festival-goer will also be in with a chance of winning a free photo shoot – if they earn the title of ‘best-dressed animal’ at the festival, judged by a fashion publication which is yet to be announced.
If you are interested in attending the festival, tickets, which cost just £15, are currently available to buy here.

This adorable bilingual colouring book features our native birds, sea creatures, and insects. It was created by Kitty Brown and Kirsten Parkinson from Ōtepoti, Dunedin. They are well known for their popular Reo Pēpi series of board books for young children.
The realistic illustrations in this colouring book will help people to recognise and name each of these creatures. And it covers key learning concepts: colours, spatial positions, actions, and feelings, in both languages.
It is especially pleasing that the text is written in simple, repetitive sentences, including questions and answers, which are used in everyday situations. These will be great to practise with the whole whanau and provide them with opportunities for talking Te Reo together e.g:
Ko Wētā ahau. I am Wētā.
Ke te peke ahau. I am jumping.
Kei te pēhea koe, Aihe? How are you dolphin,
Kei te harikoa ahau. I am happy.
He aha te tae o te Pūngāwerewere? What colour is the spider?
He pango. Black.
The Reo Pēpi: Bilingual Colouring Book also opens up opportunities for dramatic role-playing. Children could be asked to pretend to be a particular creature and behave and react in the way that creature would. Could they look incredibly sad like the sea lion, or exceedingly grumpy like the tuatara, or run like a pūkeko?
The bonus of 30 small coloured stickers at the end of the book adds another fun activity. Children will enjoy matching the stickers to each creature in the book.
With over 60 pages to colour the Reo Pēpi: Bilingual Colouring Book will provide hours fun for young children. As well as enjoying colouring in, it will increase their knowledge of the creatures who inhabit our natural world and extend their vocabulary in both Te Reo and English. Every family with young children should have one.

- Cell-Signaling Molecules Show Potential For Slowing Down CancerResearchers at the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center knew they were on to something big when they embarked on a series of studies involving the effects of specific genetic material on tumors. The research team from the NYU Langone Medical Center was after all familiar with the potential of genetic material–specifically the non-coding variety–for tumor treatment.
- Notch Cell Signaling Pathway Linked To Brain Tumors In ChildrenIn one of the latest developments in cell signaling research, the cell communication pathway known as Notch has been linked to a type of brain tumor that occurs in children. In a study recently published in the Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology, it was announced that Notch genes were ‘overexpressed’ in cases of pilocytic astrocytoma.
- Cell-Signaling Pathways May Be Crucial To Immunosuppressive TherapyIn yet another step forward in cell signaling research, scientists at the Paola Castagnoli research group recently discovered a signaling network located in blood-forming cells. Based on the results of the study commissioned by the A*STAR Singapore Immunology Network, cell signaling pathways may be crucial in the development of more effective immunosuppressive treatments that involve the controlling of pathways in a bid to encourage the growth of infection fighting immune cells.

PUDUCHERRY: Three Homeland Security officers of the United States on Monday visited the French Institute of Pondicherry (Institut Francais de Pondichery) and went through the digitalised database of the photographs of idols in the possession of the institute.
Sources at the institute said the officers compared the photographs of some of the idols stolen from temples of the region and sold in US, which were seized by the American security officials. Also, the sources said officials sought the details of the idols from the database of the institute to correlate with the facts they possessed.
The sources added that the US officials had arrested Subash Kapoor, one of the criminals involved in the smuggling of idols from India. Now the process of identification of temples in Tamil Nadu from where the idols were stolen is being carried out by the US officials.
The three-member US team consisted of Brendon M Easter, John Paul Labbot and Rangarajan Gopalan.
The French Institute is almost on the verge of completion of the digitalisation of 1, 36,000 black and white negatives of photographs of idols from various temples in the country. The institute has a total documented collection of 1.50 lakh photographs of these idols from various temples.
The documentation of the Institute includes idols of nearly 3,000 temples in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Puducherry and important temples from other parts of the country.
According to sources, the documentation helped the police and Interpol identify certain idols stolen and smuggled to United States and Australia.
Meanwhile, Dr M Murugesan, an official from the institute, revealed that the Interpol could identify the idols, stolen from Sripurantan and Suttamalli temples in Ariyalur, based on the photographs provided by the institute. These idols had reached the United States and were then sold off to Australian museums by the smugglers.

GP Koirala is one of Nepal's most long-standing and experienced politicians and has led the country through some of its biggest upheavals.
GP Koirala's career spans seven decades
First coming to prominence as a union leader in the late 1940s, he has been imprisoned, exiled or detained on numerous occasions for championing the cause of democracy against various autocratic regimes.
In 1960, he was jailed for eight years for his pro-democracy views.
His appointment as prime minister is not the first time he has been elevated to the country's leadership after a king's powers have been curbed.
As general secretary of the Nepali Congress Party, he played a key role in public demonstrations in the early 1990s to end the absolute powers of the current king's brother, Birendra.
In 2001 King Birendra was murdered - along with nine members of his family.
That incident occurred while Mr Koirala was prime minister and it was his role to provide leadership for a stunned nation.
While Birendra was king, he had Mr Koirala placed under house arrest during protests against the king's rule. The same fate befell Mr Koirala in the more recent demonstrations against King Gyanendra.
The eighty-five-year-old describes himself as a centrist and a free marketeer.
He has been prime minister on three previous occasions from the early 1990s. His longest stint in the top job was three and a half years.
On each occasion his administration fell due to a combination of Congress Party in-fighting and the narrowness of his majorities in parliament.
Mr Koirala is reluctantly taking the top job, complaining that his ill-health and old age makes him an unsuitable candidate.
It will be a tough work schedule for the octogenarian, who commutes by a Dakota passenger aeroplane from his home in the south-east of Nepal to Kathmandu.
While he has in the past been criticised for being too authoritarian, his longevity and stature mean that he remains one of the few politicians in Nepal capable of achieving political consensus.

Turkey: Ifat Eurasia 2017 Investments for Higher Environmental Standards in Turkey
In February 2017, the international trade fair Ifat Eurasia will take place in the the Turkish commercial capital Istanbul.
Istanbul/Turkey — The host country offers extensive market opportunities: According to Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), to meet European standards in the areas of drinking water, wastewater and waste, Turkey will have to invest well in excess of € 23 billion by 2023. In general, the Turkish government is aiming at 2023 for many of its recently announced environmental targets to coincide with the centenary of the Republic of Turkey. For example, the current wastewater treatment plan envisages building more than 1,400 new sewage treatment plants and 30,000 km of pipeline by the centenary. According to GTAI, this will require investments of around 63 billion Turkish lira (approximately € 18.4 billion).
Environmental awareness among the Turkish population is growing. This has also encouraged politicians to look for modern waste management solutions. Among other things, this has been expressed in the comprehensive regulation for the management of waste and wastewater, which the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning enacted last year. According to observations by GTAI analysts, several cities, regional administrative bodies as well as public and private companies in Turkey are currently investing in waste treatment. Many of these projects were co-funded by international institutions. However, in parallel to these measures, the challenges are also growing. For example, changing consumer habits in Turkey are responsible for a dramatic increase in packaging waste. At present, this already accounts for half of the volume of solid household waste.
From February 16 to 18, 2017, Ifat Eurasia will bring together all the market players in the areas of water, wastewater, waste, and recycling at the Istanbul Expo Center (IFM). The trade fair will also be accompanied by a supporting program. Top experts from industry and research will share their knowledge with the expert audience in a variety of conference presentations, round table discussions, and workshops.

Bermuda grass is a type of warm-season grass that is common in the southern United States. It has a soft leaf texture and a deep green color. Bermuda grass is a fast-growing grass that can spread rapidly by rhizomes and stolons. It is tolerant of heat and drought but does not tolerate cold weather.
Due to the nature of natural products, physical properties will vary (size, color, etc).
|.5" - 2"
|7+ Hours (Full Sun)
|Pieces Per Pallet
Bermuda Grass is one of the most popular lawn grasses in the United States. It is known for its durability, heat and drought tolerance, and beautiful green color. Bermuda Grass is a warm-season grass, which means it goes dormant in the winter months. However, with proper care, Bermuda Grass can stay green all year long.
If you live in a warm climate and are looking for tough, low-maintenance grass for your lawn, Bermuda Grass is a great choice. Bermuda Grass is also popular for use on golf courses, football fields, and other sports fields. It is also often used commercially, in parking lots and other high-traffic areas.
Bermuda Grass is relatively easy to care for, but there are a few things you need to do to keep it looking its best. First, Bermuda Grass needs to be mowed frequently, about once a week. It also needs to be fertilized regularly. Lastly, Bermuda Grass needs to be watered deeply and evenly.
Bermuda Grass should be watered deeply and evenly. You should water your lawn at least once a week, but preferably twice a week. Make sure to wet the soil down to a depth of 6-8 inches, and water each area for at least 5 - 8 minutes.
Bermuda Grass should be fertilized regularly, about once a month. You can use any type of fertilizer, but make sure to follow the directions on the package carefully. Too much fertilizer can damage your lawn.
Bermuda Grass needs to be mowed frequently, about once a week. The best way to mow Bermuda Grass is with a reel mower, however with Bimini Bermuda, you can cut yoursod with a rotary mower such as your normal push mower. Your blade height needs to remain between .5 to 2 inches. When mowing, its recommended to mow in different directions each time to avoid creating ruts in your lawn.
The best way to control insects in Bermuda Grass is to use a pesticide. Be sure to read the directions carefully, and only apply the pesticide to the lawn when necessary. Overuse of pesticides can be harmful to your lawn. Lastly, the more you mow, the tighter your grass will grow together making it less susceptible to weed growth.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Talk about a sharply divided electorate.
Tuesday's election to recall Gov. Scott Walker is too close to call, as voters split about evenly between the governor and his Democratic challenger, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, according to early exit poll results in the state. Voters were passionately divided on the Republican-backed law that ended collective bargaining for most public employees and teachers.
About half said they supported the changes to the collective bargaining law, and a similar share approved of Walker's handling of the issue. Views on collective bargaining were a dividing line in the electorate, with 9 in 10 who approved of the new laws backing Walker and a similar share who disapproved behind Barrett.
Walker angered Democrats and union members last year when, shortly after taking office, he signed legislation that effectively ended collective bargaining for public employees in Wisconsin. The Republican governor presented the measure as necessary to avoid wholesale layoffs, although opponents said it was simply a way of dividing public-sector unions from private unions to weaken labor's political clout in the traditionally strong union state.
Union households made up about a third of the electorate, and about two-thirds of them backed Barrett, about the same level of support he received among the group in 2010. The Democratic candidate improved on his 2010 performance among African-Americans and those with incomes below $50,000.
Tuesday's contest was a rematch of the 2010 election in which Walker won the office, and both candidates retained more than 9 in 10 of those who backed them in 2010. About 1 in 8 voters said they did not vote in 2010, and they broke heavily for Barrett.
Despite tens of millions of dollars in advertising, most voters decided on a candidate before the final ballots were even set. About 9 in 10 in early exit polling said they decided who to vote for before May, raising questions about the impact — if any — all that money for TV advertising had on the electorate.
Those who did make up their minds in the final month of the campaign broke for Barrett by more than 20 points.
Those were the key findings of preliminary exit polls conducted Tuesday for The Associated Press. The political world closely watched the recall election for signs of the electorate's mindset just five months before this presidential battleground weighs in on the White House race between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
Obama carried Wisconsin by a comfortable margin in 2008 en route to the White House. But a Walker victory would make the state more attractive to Romney as he seeks to do what no Republican has done since 1984 — carry the state in a presidential election.
Preliminary results from the exit polls suggest Obama fares well among voters in Tuesday's contest, though November's electorate might be substantially different. Among recall voters, Obama topped Romney overall, as the candidate who would do a better job handling the economy and on helping the middle class. A sizable 1 in 5, however, said they trust neither party's candidate on the economy, which is likely to be the main issue in the presidential campaign.
Walker's performance in creating jobs in the state was a point of major contention in the recall contest, and here too voters were split on how he handled it.
Walker's push for changes to the collective bargaining law prompted huge demonstrations on Madison's capital square as well as a successful petition drive last fall to recall Walker.
Yet, on Tuesday, most Wisconsin voters suggested the criteria for recalls should be tougher. There have only been three such elections in the nation's history, the most recent in 2003, when voters recalled Democratic California Gov. Gray Davis.
The vast majority of voters said recall elections should be allowed in at least some cases, though most feel they are appropriate only in cases of official misconduct.
"I just think the whole recall election was uncalled for and it was just a big waste of taxpayers' money," said Jeff Naunheim, 48, a warranty analyst from St. Francis who voted for Walker in the recall. "I don't think he did anything illegal. And if this is going to set the standard on how things are going to go in the future, it's going to be an ugly, divided mess."
The exit poll of 2,448 Wisconsin voters was conducted for The Associated Press by Edison Research in a random sample of 35 precincts statewide. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points; it is higher for subgroups.
Agiesta reported from Washington.


Excellence is key at university, candidate says.
Jorge Jos, one of two candidates remaining for the University of Oregon's No. 2 post, said a university has to hire top quality faculty, expect them to progress and be especially judicious about who gets tenure.
"Excellence, excellence and excellence is the name of the game at a research university," Jos told about 50 faculty and administrators at a public presentation Monday.
Jos is a physicist and vice president for research for the eight-campus Indiana University system. In a career spanning five decades, he has worked or trained at five universities belonging to the exclusive, 62-member Association of American Universities.
Only two of the original four candidates are still contending for the post of UO provost. Scott Coltrane, the inside candidate who has been dean of the UO's College of Arts and Sciences, has served as interim provost since July, when then-provost Jim Bean stepped down and joined the faculty at the university's Lundquist School of Business.
Two other candidates dropped out. One withdrew before he or she was identified publicly and a second, Jane Close Conoley, a dean at the University of California, Santa Barbara, instead last week took the president's job at California State University at Long Beach.
Jos said he has "strong interest" in the UO provost's job and that he is excited about the university's prospects.
Although cutting a low profile outside the UO, the provost job can be key to the functioning of the university. The provost has closer oversight over day-to-day operations, for example, than does UO President Michael Gottfredson.
Jos, a native of Mexico City, has worldwide connections, having worked at universities in France, the Netherlands, Mexico and Argentina.
"I have traveled in many countries across the world, speak three languages well and communicate in another two," Jos wrote in his application letter.
Jos claims a long list of research credentials. Besides a career of scholarly work and publishing of his own, he has served as a grant reviewer for seven federal and private funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense. He has given expert testimony before Congress on research funding.
Since 2002, he has worked his way up the administrative ranks.
"In the administrative jobs I've had, I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish," he told the UO audience.
As chairman of the physics department at Northeastern University, he said, he persuaded the dean and provost to give the department four new positions. The new hires, he said, proved to be productive grant getters.
As vice president for research at the Buffalo campus of the System University of New York, Jos said he led the efforts to boost interdisciplinary research, which allows faculty from differing departments to get together to tackle a research question.
For federal funding, such team research can be the name of the game.
"We were able to form a culture of collaboration of people in different disciplines," Jos said. "It was so good that we increased our federal funding by 30 percent," he said.
At his current post at Indiana University, Jos helped identify, elevate and fund six areas, including "Religion, Ethics and Society" and "Neuroscience."
In choosing to fund some programs instead of others, "of course there is conflict," Jos said. In past jobs, he said, he has been able to increase individual faculty member agreement during one-on-one discussions.
"People are smart," he said. "(They need to be) given a rationale of why it is logical. 'Why are we doing this? Why are we hiring this person? Why are we making this change?' People understand, by and large."
Jos addressed questions about whether the UO should remain in the AAU, given that the UO ranks near the bottom on measures of graduate education and undergraduate retention.
Part of the problem, he said, is the UO has not hired as much faculty as it needs, given earlier growth in the student population, so the student-faculty ratio has suffered.
"It has impact on your rankings," he said, "so it would be nice to have another 100 or 200 more faculty."
Jos said the criteria for continuing membership in the AAU may seem akin to the method of choosing a pope - in other words, secretive and mysterious. But he said the UO should try.
"It's very important to be a member of the AAU," he said. "It's why I came here."

City of North Vancouver Mayor Linda Buchanan inaugurated the first rainbow crosswalk at 14th and Lonsdale Avenue early today. The crosswalk is a joint initiative of the CNV and North Shore Pride Alliance, a group that aims to create an inclusive community in the North Shore.
“Our new Pride crosswalk sends an important message about who we are as a community,” Mayor Buchanan said. “Our City embraces and celebrates diversity in all forms including sexual orientation and gender identity. I’m very proud of our rainbow crosswalk, a symbol of our solidarity with the LGBTQ2+ community, demonstrating that everyone is welcome in our City.”.
“Through outreach, advocacy and movement, we unite the diverse populous in solidarity to overcome challenges, break down barriers and stereotypes. We want to generate a safe, understanding and empowering environment where we all have a sense of belonging,” said Chris Bolton, who co-founded the group this year with Gary Fluffer Woods.
“We wanted to have this umbrella where we could bring the community, LGBTQ and straight community, together in the North Shore,” he said.
Woods emphasised that the alliance was inclusive and sought understanding and support from the entire community, and not just members of the LGBTQ community.
“Just because someone is straight, it doesn’t mean they can’t support what we are doing. What we want to do in North Shore is to make sure everybody is welcome to come as they are,” he said.
North Shore Pride Alliance started a discussion with the Mayor about the crosswalk a few months ago, and it was finally approved by the city. The mayor was accompanied by members of the council and neighboring businesses such as TD Canada bank and Money Mart.
“We are very excited. I think the crosswalk is a great visual clue to people and this can start a positive conversation in our community,” Bolton said. He said the alliance would soon organise a bingo social and more events in future.
Woods said the alliance had gained a lot of support from the straight community. He said everyone was welcome to be part of this alliance.

More than 1 in 5 adults — a total of 53 million adult Americans — are now unpaid family caregivers, according to a new report from AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC).
The number of caregivers has climbed from 18 percent of adults in 2015 to more than 21 percent in 2020, an increase of 9.5 million adults who provide assistance on everything from grocery shopping to wound care to medication management. The biggest boost came among those caring for adults 50 and older, which accounted for just over 14 percent of caregivers in 2015 and nearly 17 percent this year. Many receiving care were boomers, who are now ages 55 to 75, according to the report.
In fact, boomers are pivoting from taking care of friends and loved ones to needing care. Now their children and grandchildren are stepping up.
"We always talk about the average caregiver. I really pushed hard to talk about the many different aspects of caregivers,” said Susan C. Reinhard, AARP senior vice president and director of the AARP Public Policy Institute, who played a key role in the new report.
Reinhard said her interest in family caregivers dates to her days as a visiting nurse, when “they were the ones who opened the door."
The report, “Caregiving in the U.S. 2020,” is the latest in a series of reports dating to 1997. It is based on online surveys conducted in 2019 of 1,392 caregivers age 18 and older.
"Do you want to fight?"
Bethany Robertson, a millennial who now lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was only 27 when she shouldered the responsibility of caring for her beloved grandmother, Maria Viviano, who had suffered a serious stroke in New Jersey.
Only at the hospital did Robertson learn that her grandmother had given her both medical and legal powers of attorney. And amid bleak medical prognoses at the New Jersey hospital, she sought her guidance.
"I asked, ‘Do you want to fight?’ She looked at me and nodded her head very emphatically, ‘Yes.’ “
After hovering near death, Viviano recovered, but with restricted speech and movement. Yet when Robertson inquired if her grandmother would prefer a nursing home, she was met with tears.
Robertson realized that caring for her at home was her only option. She moved her to the condominium in Charleston, S.C., that she shared with her husband. She struggled to find reliable certified nursing assistants to help her.
But as hard as it was, “We shared many awesome moments."
Viviano stayed at Robertson's home, where she died peacefully after nearly two years, surrounded by family.
Lost in the neighborhood
Jeanne Wintz of Seattle is the main caregiver for her husband, Jim, a role that began when he first showed early signs of dementia. He had worked for decades as a psychiatric social worker. Now she grew uncomfortable leaving him home alone.


The Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 is a .22 LR variant of the Smith & Wesson M&P15. In contrast to the original AR-15, it is blowback-operated, rather than direct impingement. It is intended for recreational shooting ("plinking") and hunting. It is made with a polymer upper and lower receiver, rather than the aluminum that is normally used in AR-15s. Its proprietary magazines are also polymer. The handguards are also polymer, and feature quadruple Picatinny rails. The M&P15-22 can be used as a cheaper alternative for training with an AR-15 style rifle, since the rifle itself is much less expensive than most AR-15s, and the ammunition may often be one tenth the price of normal .223 Remington/5.56×45mm NATO, allowing the owner to enjoy far more range time for the same cost in ammunition. While shooting .22 LR is not a perfect substitute for training with the rifle's "true" cartridge, it can be a good way to focus on basic marksmanship and handling skills without the cost or recoil associated with shooting larger cartridges. The rifle features a safety and bolt lock that operate just like an AR-15. The M&P15-22 can also be an alternative in jurisdictions that restrict magazine capacity for centerfire cartridges. The 15-22 is also offered in a MOE (Magpul Original Equipment) version complete with a Magpul MOE pistol grip, MOE stock, MBUS sights, and a threaded barrel. This is available in Magpul FDE (Field Dark Earth), and standard black. Because the M&P15-22 fires a rimfire cartridge, it can be used as a legal way to shoot large numbers of cartridges without reloading. The M&P15-22's lower recoil may also be used as a way to ease new shooters into the sport, allowing them to familiarize themselves with AR-15 controls without the fear of excessive recoil or noise. The 15-22 dissemblance is very similar to the Ar-15 and SW M&P 15. The lower receiver detaches from the upper with two captured pins. The lower contains a standard M&P 15 trigger assembly that is compatible with most AR-15 trigger groups. The upper contains the bolt, barrel, and charging handle.

“This little baby girl will make us a family of five,” she added alongside a snap of her kids surrounded by pink balloons.

Many Hospitals Canceling On-Site Training for Med Students Due to Coronavirus
Photo: Getty Images
Yet another casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic may be the clinical training that’s so essential for America’s future nurses and doctors.
As university campuses close and disease prevention efforts intensify, hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care venues in California and nationally are canceling clinical rotations for student nurses — and, in some cases, medical students. The rationale is to protect both students and patients from getting sick and to reserve personal protective equipment, including masks, that may be in short supply.
But medical educators worry the students won’t get the hours of ...

Withdrawing from the famous direct battle style of past Call of Duty recreations, Treyarch chose to take a non-straight and sandbox way to deal with Call of Duty: Black Ops II, (which means no consecutive missions with the same result each time replayed) rather the old straight style has been dropped for a more open finished crusade that depends intensely on player decision.
There will be huge focuses inside of the battle where the player is basically given control over the course the amusement will take. It won't be a straightforward decision possibly, it will be more sweeping than that. There are numerous more decisions then only a basic live incredible at the last mission. for instance, not securing a sure character or slaughtering a character won't prompt a mission disappointment, rather it will change the course the diversion will take.
To help with the takeoff from a direct battle are an arrangement of unique missions named Strike Force. These missions are sandbox, and play correspondingly to a Real Time Strategy diversion. The player can expect the part of an administrator, charge ground strengths, and on top of this, there will be the capacity to backpedal to the customary first-individual and make part in the move themselves. The player gets the chance to have a shot of taking control of a wide range of fighting innovation, for example, unmanned vehicles, planes and mechanical autos.
On the off chance that the player bites the dust in a Strike Force mission, the story will continue, keeping the record of passings as opposed to stacking to the last spared checkpoint. The missions will go ahead to change the story, even change Menendez's arrangements. When the Cold War closes the player will see that they have made the outcomes distinctive. Strike Force was not generally welcomed by pundits and fans, as it made a more distressing amusement experience.
The capacity of plunging to inclined comes back from the prequel, and additionally the crusade's playable characters at the end of the day talking while being controlled by the player. Moreover, as in Call of Duty: Finest Hour, the amusement now components creeping movements for weapons while moving while inclined rather than the weapon basically vanishing off the screen as they did in different diversions. Likewise in this continuation of Call of Duty diversion you have a few endings, they relies on upon your decisions, so all that you are doing through the story line of the game has effect on it.

Ravenna Creek facts for kids
Ravenna Creek is a stream in the Ravenna and Roosevelt neighborhoods of Seattle, Washington, whose present daylighted length of nearly 3,500 feet (1.1 km) is entirely within the Ravenna & Cowen Parks.
Ravenna Creek used to drain Green Lake into Lake Washington's Union Bay, but urban development and the lowering of the two lakes in 1911 and 1916 resulted in the disappearance of the creekbed between Green Lake and Cowen Park and between Ravenna Park and Union Bay. Ravenna Creek's current source is a wetland in the northwest corner of Cowen Park, at NE 62nd Street and Brooklyn Avenue NE. It is also fed by springs throughout Ravenna Park, and is joined there by a second branch which begins near the intersection of NE 65th Street and 23rd Avenue NE. Until 2006, the creek ended at a sewer grate where the park's trail system opened into a soccer field.
A daylighting project completed in May 2006 disconnected the creek from the sewer system and extended its bed 650 feet (200 m) towards the southeast corner of Ravenna Park, at which point it enters a pipeline. This pipeline, which runs southward along 25th Avenue NE to the NE 45th Street viaduct, empties into University Slough, thereby reconnecting Ravenna Creek to Lake Washington.
In 2008, a major sewage spill of 8,000,000 US gallons (30,000,000 L) of raw sewage flooded the creek in an accident caused by King County utility crews working nearby.

With the reconstruction of I-4 came improvements to County Road 579 and the Exit 8 interchange. Looking north, the new CR 579 is now a 4-lane divided highway from U.S. Highway 92 (bottom of photo) to just south of Sligh Avenue (towards the top). The wider roadway, new storage lanes, and the improved interchange ramps have combined to greatly help traffic flow in this area.

According to a report by industry website Gamasutra, sales of Sega's Vanquish, released last October, were 820,000 units worldwide in the period from its release date to the end of 2010. Released for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, it got strong reception from many gaming press outlets, but failing to sell a million units in the launch period can only be described as disappointing.
This is especially the case when Platinum Games' previous title, Bayonetta, sold 1.1 million units in Japan alone when it released there in 2009. Though the titles share little direct subject matter, they both represented somewhat unique takes on well-established genres. Bayonetta can easily be described as a riff on the action style of Devil May Cry, but Platinum successfully injected the title with unique gameplay and a heroine with a decidedly memorable visual style. Vanquish doesn't have the former game's sex appeal, but Platinum took the third-person cover shooting style of Gears of War and gave it a very fast-paced overhaul.
Viewed superficially, Vanquish should have had arguably more general appeal - featuring space marines, guns, and robots aplenty versus Bayonetta's decidedly bizarre mythological melange. So, what was the problem?
Though action games along the lines of Bayonetta are expected to be single-player, a core shooter like Vanquish is expected to deliver a multi-player component. Much debate occurred about that omission at the time of the game's release, with the general consensus in the press attempting to defend the single-player only experience, but sales data would seem to suggest otherwise.
Multi-player modes should never be simply tacked on, but let's take a look at the development timeline. Bayonetta debuted in the U.S. at the very beginning of 2010. Vanquish arrived in October 2010. Platinum's next title, Max Anarchy, will reportedly feature a strong emphasis on multi-player, and will presumably drop sometime in 2011. It strikes me that, instead of pumping titles out so close together, Sega and Platinum would have been better served delaying Vanquish long enough in order to deliver a solid multi-player component. With their upcoming title, it's clear the developers have no lack of interest in multi-player content - why not deliver it in the previous title, which begged for its inclusion?
It's difficult to suppose precisely how well the title would have sold if it had included multi-player, but the fast-paced transformation of the Gears of War style could have delivered a compelling online experience. The upcoming Gears of War 3 had been scheduled for a spring 2011 release, which may have affected plans during the development process, but even the sales juggernaut of Call of Duty: Black Ops could not prevent Medal of Honor from selling over 5 million units to date. Multi-player in Vanquish could have seen the title increase sales over Bayonetta, as its greater general appeal would have suggested.
What do you think? Would adding multi-player to Vanquish have pushed it significantly beyond 820,000 units from October to December 2010?

Benjamin Franklin could have held many titles in life; he was a printer, publisher, writer, satirist, inventor, scientist, postmaster, politician, and a diplomat as well as being a father and a grandfather. When the question arises: did Benjamin Franklin have kids? The answer is never simple. Yes, he had three children but the first was illegitimate and the second died of smallpox at the age of four. His son, William Franklin, would go on to become the staunch loyalist Governor of New Jersey and tangled with his father over politics until he fled for England at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War. His daughter, Sarah (often called Sally), would marry a man named Richard Bache and give birth to seven children who would carry on Franklin's legacy under a different surname. For Ben Franklin, children were the innocents who had an opportunity to live in a better world and he was determined to create beneficial conditions for that outcome.
Franklin had a common law marriage with a woman named Deborah Read that began in 1730. He proposed to her at the age of 17 but her mother did not approve and her father had recently passed. They were separated for years while he plied his trade as a printer and left for London on an official trip under the orders of the Governor of Pennsylvania. While Franklin was gone, Deborah was married to another man, but he ran away to Barbados with her dowry just in time for Benjamin to reenter her life. A common law marriage was the most they could do under the circumstances and Deborah accepted Benjamin's illegitimate son, William, into their home. Their first child together was Francis Folger Franklin, born in 1732. This was during an upswing in Franklin's life when he had control of his own newspaper, The Pennsylvania Gazette, had recently founded the first subscription library in the world and was on his way to becoming Grand Master of the local Masonic Lodge. It was a great heartbreak, then, when his young son Francis died of smallpox in 1736. It would be another seven years after that when Deborah and Benjamin would have their third and final child, Sarah Franklin.
For an elder Ben Franklin, kids were still an important part of his daily life. Besides the seven grandchildren Sarah gave him, William had his own illegitimate son while living in England. William Temple Franklin was sent to live with his grandfather in Philadelphia and supported the American Independence movement as a secretary to Benjamin during his diplomatic efforts in France and Britain. Benjamin Franklin retained a deep and true love for his son William, despite their political differences. He wrote much of his autobiography directly to William and hoped that all of his descendants would find a tradition and some direction in the 13 virtues he listed within the book. Although William Temple was the last patrilineal male of the Franklin family, many of Sarah's descendants were named after Benjamin Franklin along with their own patrilineal surnames.
