PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A new poll shows Pennsylvania voters are divided over the problem-plagued Affordable Care Act, although more favor keeping it.
The new Franklin and Marshall College Poll shows 50-percent of Pennsylvanians surveyed favor keeping the Affordable Care Act.
But poll director Terry Madonna says he believes many of those who want to keep it want it fixed, and more significant, he believes, is the large number of people who want it scrapped altogether.
“The other side of that is 40-percent of people say it should be repealed. I mean, 40-percent say flat-out repealed — not mended, not fixed,” Madonna says.
The poll also shows 64% of Pennsylvanians support Medicaid expansion, but even more, 72%, support Governor Corbett’s proposed version that involves private insurance companies.
Still, only 19-percent believe Corbett is doing an excellent or good job, up slightly from the last F&M Poll in August.
By a margin of 44-to-42%, Republicans believe he should not seek re-election.

When Thomas Jefferson
took the oath of office for the presidency in 1801
, the United States had just passed through twelve critical years, years dominated by some of the towering figures of our history and by the challenge of having to do everything for the first time. Washington, Hamilton, Madison, Adams, and Jefferson himself each had a share in setting the nation's important precedents, in organizing the public finances
, and in attempting - though with minimal success - to compel respect for the American republic from the powers of Europe. The historical era bounded by those first years is brilliantly represented in The Age of Federalism
. Written by esteemed historians Stanley Elkins and Eric McKitrick, The Age of Federalism
gives us a reflective, deeply informed analytical survey of this extraordinary period. Ranging over the widest variety of concerns - political, cultural, economic, diplomatic, military - the authors keep in view not only the problems the new nation faced but also the particular individuals who tried, with mixed results, to solve them. They intersperse their account with subtly perceptive (and sometimes delightful) character sketches, not only of the great central figures - Washington and Jefferson, Talleyrand and Napoleon Bonaparte - but also of various lesser ones, such as George Hammond, Britain's frustrated minister to the United States, James McHenry, Adams's hapless Secretary of War, a pre-Chief Justice version of John Marshall
, and others. They weave these lively profiles into an analysis of the major controversies of the time in an effort to recover something that is now two centuries out of reach, the psychology of a generation of nation-builders, not all of it attractive.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, founded the Democratic-Republican Party and was the third President. John Marshall served as Chief Justice on the Supreme Court longer than anyone else and authored the decisions that established the court's primacy on constitutional questions. The secretaries of the Treasury, since the first secretary Alexander Hamilton, have held positions of influence in the cabinets of most presidents.

Despite the amount of time (years!) I’ve spent in AZ I’ve never done more than a drive through of Prescott. I’m not a big whiskey fan, maybe that’s why…back in the river guide days I worked with at least a dozen Prescott college kids, always earthy and eager. Since part of being a river guide is living the lifestyle of the homeless, I guess it shouldn’t have come as such a surprise to see a large homeless population. An abondoned covered carport (or motel minus some walls?) featured a spray painted bicycle, underneath the caption was “live free or drive” and underneath on the ground an old foam pad and 38 empty beer bottles, a couple of hamburger buns. This is getting random I know but wow, Prescott has an eclectic homeless population!
I’m in the middle of the creation of daveV2. I’ve made a ton of changes – really all dietary – since OP. This weekend was to be the first big training weekend for quite some time. Whiskey 50 on Sat and Prescott monstercross course on Sunday…that should be perfect. After seeing the GPX for the monstercross I was stoked for it! And after riding the Whiskey on a 32.19 I was certain a 32.20 would be better ;) Being a high cadence guy, that’s something I have to learn over and over….I just like small gearing, plain and simple.
The day was gonna be a long one – following the ride was the 7 hour drive back to St George, so we we’re moving early.
We started the day with a modeling session. Note the fine blending of colors of jacket, shorts, shoes. We spent hours getting this right.
Breakfast of champions. It’s worth a shot.
This course…wow. The Whiskey 50 was a good intro to Prescott trails and how sweet they could be. Merely a taster though, as this circumnavigation of town on a 10 mile radius linked endless, wonderful, blissful singletrack. Full of surprises, buff pine matt ripper trails, techy bits to keep you on your toes, lung busting climbs, and some pretty cool urban bits as well. Through it all was the sweet scent of ponderosa, juniper, and pinyon, and graced by the spring bloom. I could go on and on about the course. But I won’t. Just get out there and ride it.
The drive home was uneventful.
As I lay down late that night, I was still rocking singletrack on my Siren firmtail 32.20. It was such a fine weekend, and the Preskit thang is no longer a myster.
And now, for some reason, this little pic below is front and center in my brain. BTDT, but it doesn’t seem to matter. There is building energy taking over…where will it go?

Tartare is, in many ways, the ultimate expression of fresh meat: To serve it says that this is clean and pure, that I am serving you raw meat — something that we humans have been a little leery of for hundreds of thousands of years — because I am assuring you that it is both tender and safe. Tartare is a gift.
Salmon tartare, however, is a gift with a wink. There is a reason humans are generally wary about raw meat: parasites. Salmon definitely fits this bill. In some pieces of fresh salmon, you will find the seal worm, the anisakis. They’re teeny, and they die when you cook them, but get anisakis poisoning and you will not be happy: The worms bury themselves in your stomach wall and cause nausea and stomach pain. At least the worms die soon afterward; they need a marine mammal to grow to maturity, and while we’re close enough to get them started, humans are different enough from seals and sea lions to kill the parasites after a few days.
One happy thing about these critters is that they die when frozen: Freeze your salmon at -4°F or colder for a couple days and you are good to go; your home freezer is set at 0°F, so set it a little lower or leave the salmon in for more than 3 days. Note that this means any respectable sushi restaurant is selling you thawed salmon, or they are playing Russian roulette with their customers. If your sushi chef says they pride themselves on the freshest salmon, order the tempura.
OK, I’m done with horror stories about invasive parasites. Sorry to have to go into that, but it really bothers me to see otherwise competent chefs laud how fresh their salmon is, when it is absolutely certain that at least some of the raw salmon they are serving will have these parasites. Their prejudice against freezing fish blinds them to the potential risk.
Far better to flash freeze the salmon and then serve it raw. Which is what I do. There is virtually no difference in texture between properly frozen salmon and fish right off the boat — I know, because I’ve eaten fresh salmon many times before I learned about anisakis. And if you like sushi, you will love salmon tartare.
My version of salmon tartare is inspired by one my friend Dan Klein of the Perennial Plate made while we are all up in Cordova, Alaska fishing for Copper River salmon. We’d gathered some salmon berries that day, and he chopped them up with his tartare, topped with with fresh salmon caviar and served it on a salmon skin cracker. I’d made crispy salmon skin before, but not the way Dan made it. The result, as you can see in the pictures, is a firm, very crispy cracker that is salmon-y without being fishy. It’s brilliant.
Since this has been an epic salmon season here in California, I’ve also made quite a bit of salmon caviar at home, so I had some on hand.
Flavorwise, I wanted my tartare to go North, in honor of Alaska. Not having a lot of Alaskan ingredients on hand, I went Scandinavian instead. So I added a little horseradish, dill, and a new ingredient for me: A toasted pumpkinseed oil I got from Stony Book Foods. Pumpkinseed oil is not actually a Scandinavian thing, it’s an Austrian thing; close enough for this recipe, I reckoned. The guys at Stony Brook make it in upstate New York. Their oil is dark, viscous and looks a little like motor oil. But it has an intense roasted, nutty flavor that I can’t get enough of — it is every bit as wonderful as the finest olive oil. Added to this tartare, it immediately hits you with a sense of cool Northern Europe.
This is not a weekday, come-home-from-work dish. This is a party appetizer, something to impress your guests or loved one. It requires a little effort to make the salmon skin chips, but if you forgo them and use table water crackers (my second choice), this comes together in a snap. Just be sure to make more than you think you need: They will get eaten fast.
You will need high-quality salmon (preferably wild salmon, with its skin on), salmon roe caviar (available in little jars at most good supermarkets in the canned fish section) and roasted pumpkin seed oil, which is available online from Stony Brook Foods. I also use dill pollen as well, which is optional but adds a delicate dill flavor to the tartare; it too is available online.
Can you make this recipe without the fancy oil? Yes. I’d suggest walnut oil first as a substitute (it’s in most supermarkets), and then sesame oil as a second alternative.
Make sure you cut the salmon with a sharp knife, as a dull knife will smear the salmon fat and damage the way the tartare feels in your mouth when you eat it. You want little salmon dice, not a mush.
Serves 6 to 8 as an appetizer.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes, for the salmon skin crackers
- 1 pound salmon fillet, with skin if possible
- 1 shallot, minced, about 1/4 cup
- 1 to 2 tablespoons roasted pumpkinseed oil or some other nice oil
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 2 teaspoons dill pollen (optional)
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 ounces salmon caviar
- Slice the skin off the salmon with a fillet knife and gently scrape off any meat sticking to it. Pat the salmon skin dry with paper towels and lay flat, cut side down, on a non-stick skillet. Turn the heat to medium and place another flat, heavy surface on top of the skin. I use another pot. Let this cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Listen for it sizzling under the weight, and do not check the skin for at least 3 minutes — this prevents it from curling up. Once the cut side looks crispy, turn the salmon skin, salt the side you just cooked, and repeat the process with the other side of the skin.
- When the salmon skin is crispy, take it out of the pan and let it cool for a minute or two. Use a sharp chef’s knife to cut it into cracker pieces. Let it cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the tartare by finely chopping the salmon into small dice. Do not put it into a food processor and do not shop it into mush. Put the chopped salmon into a bowl and mix in the shallot, pumpkinseed oil, lemon zest, dill, dill pollen if using, and horseradish. Salt and pepper it to taste and set it in the fridge to chill for up to a few hours.
- When you are ready to serve, mix the lemon juice into the tartare and scoop little piles of it on each salmon skin cracker. Top with a dollop of salmon caviar and serve. Have some table water crackers around to serve after the salmon skin crackers are eaten up.

Pet lovers understand that animals cannot tell them when they don’t feel well. That means owners must be on the lookout for signs that something is not as it should be. When a pet exhibits symptoms that indicate ill health, the best move is to seek out Veterinary Services in Johns Creek. Here are some of the signs that will help the owner know that action needs to be taken now.
A Change in Energy Level
The pet is normally full of energy and always ready to play. For the last few days, the animal has tended to move sluggishly and spends a lot of time sleeping. Even the allure of a treat does not trigger much in the way of enthusiasm. There’s a good chance that the pet is suffering with some type of condition that can be treated easily. The only way to know for sure is to bundle up the animal and head for one of the Veterinary Services in Johns Creek.
Withdrawing from the Family
Normally, the pet likes to be in the middle of whatever the family is doing. If everyone is in the den watching television, the pet finds a comfortable place and settles in near the humans. If the pet begins to avoid being in the same room with other members of the household, it could be due to not feeling well. A professional can examine the pet, identify the problem, and provide treatment.
An Injury Occurs
The pet managed to get out of the house and into the street. The result was being hit by a car. Fortunately, the driver was not going that fast, but the pet is in obvious pain. Getting the pet to a clinic at once is the only way to determine what sort of damage was done, provide the pet with something for the pain, and do whatever needs to be done to start the healing process.
For everything from routine exams to managing a chronic condition, visit Ahnfc.com today and check out what they can do for household pets. With the right level of health care, the family cat or dog will be around for a long time.

Well, hello there! Thank you for taking a look at my profile! If you are looking for an active, compact, super friendly and loving dog, then you've come to the right place! My name is Dutchess and I am about 3-4 years old and 35 lbs. I am a muscular and stocky mauve colored staffordshire mix, but I'm rather on the small side. I am currently in foster care and loving it. I am completely crate trained and I have not had one accident in the house. I have been around dogs, cats and children and I love them all. My heart is as big as my smile and I just can't stop smiling! The humans that had "owned" me before over-bred me for a long time, so I am very grateful that my breeding days are over. I can now enjoy being cared for instead. I could be ok as an apartment dog if I had a few walks or runs throughout the day. I would REALLY like to have a fenced yard or an enclosed area for exercise because I really do like to run, but I mostly want to be with you! So, even though I like to get in a good "zoomie" or two around the yard after doing my business, I want to come right back inside and be a part of whatever your doing. I want to be part of a family and not just be "owned" by one. My foster mom says that I give the best kisses, I just need to contain how excited I get because I love people SO SO much! If you are looking for a super friendly, all around fun girl with a great temperament, then look no further! Apply for me today so we can meet! I am spayed/neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, kept on intestinal parasite and heartworm preventative, and microchipped, all of which is covered under my adoption fee of $85.00.

NASA set to touch the sun: Parker Solar Probe launches Sunday
The Parker Solar Probe, set to launch Sunday, is designed to unlock the sun's mysteries -- and help protect us from its wrath.

Finalist for the Nesta Tipping Point prize and a degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
NASA is sending a spacecraft to get up close and personal with a star for the first time, and it's going to have to go faster than any manmade object in history to get there.
The crazy journey starts early Sunday when the Parker Solar Probe is scheduled to launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida atop a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket (a Saturday launch was scrubbed due to a technical glitch). The ambitious mission hopes to solve some of the more baffling solar mysteries, like why the sun's outlying corona is so much hotter than its surface and where the solar wind comes from.
Watch this: NASA's Parker Solar probe will touch the sun
"Our ability to forecast space weather is about as good as our weather forecasts were in the 1970s," Kristopher Klein, a co-investigator on the mission from the University of Arizona, said in a statement. "If you have a better understanding of the behavior of these solar energetic particles, then you can make better predictions about when to send astronauts to Mars or protect a satellite before it gets ripped apart by a radiation burst."
Yes, there is a Parker
The Parker Solar Probe is the first NASA spacecraft with a living namesake, 91-year-old Eugene Parker, who's credited with discovering the existence of the solar wind, or constant flow of charged particles that the sun sends into the solar system, in the 1950s.
"Many of his colleagues thought he must be wrong, but when Mariner 2 was on the trip to Venus in 1962, it revealed that a supersonic wind was always present," says CalTech's Ed Stone, the longtime project scientist for NASA's Voyager mission who also worked with Parker at the University of Chicago in the 1960s.
Parker also predicted the solar wind creates a sort of bubble around the solar system that we now call the heliosphere.
"In 2012, Voyager 1 finally left the bubble first predicted by Parker, entering interstellar space," Stone says.
With the extent of the solar wind proven and explored, the Parker Solar Probe will now try to trace it to its source.
How close it'll get
To see the sun at work, the spacecraft will fly within 4 million miles (6.4 million kilometers) of its surface, close enough for a good look but still far enough away to avoid burning up.
"We'll get close enough to where most of the mechanisms that are pushing the particles (that make up the solar wind) out are still actively doing that pushing," says Klein.
Instruments aboard the probe will attempt to record the particles in the solar wind being accelerated to supersonic speeds as they're sent out into the solar system, where they create aurorae and other disturbances upon collision with earth's magnetic field.
"Plasma physics is really hard to study in the laboratory," explained prinicipal investigator and University of California, Berkeley professor Stuart Bale, in a statement. "Sticking a spacecraft right in the hot plasma makes an ideal laboratory."
Plasma is the name given to a fourth state of matter that is basically super-heated gas (including the particles of the solar wind) present in space, which is what the probe will be cruising around in.
Scientists also hope that coming in close contact with our star will help solve the mystery of why its corona reaches temperatures over 2 million degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 million Celsius) but the Sun's surface is only 9,000 degrees (6,000 Celsius). Instruments on board the probe have been designed to test a few popular hypotheses behind this odd superheating effect.
Others hope that insights gleaned from high-fiving the sun could have more practical implications on Earth for things like the development of fusion energy.
"The plasma inside these magnetic bottles behaves a lot like the solar wind," Klein says. "Learning how we can control it in confinement is crucial."
When it'll get there
To get close to the sun, the Parker Solar Probe will travel very fast. At top speed, when it's nearest the sun, it'll be moving at 430,000 miles per hour (700,000 km/h) and will reach the star by November, just three months after launch.
"In early December, I am counting on having that first pass of data at 35 solar radii, and I am sure it will be revolutionary. There will be great new stuff in there, from what we know about previous missions," Bale said.
Over its 7-year mission, the spacecraft will move ever closer to the surface of the sun, looping its way around Venus several times and coming near Earth's orbit occasionally over the course of 25 solar orbits. But project scientist Nicola Fox told reporters at a press conference Thursday that it'll already be pretty close on its first pass.
Watch this: NASA's newly named Parker Solar Probe to "touch the sun"
"Even on our first fly-by we will be well within the solar corona," she said.
To keep all those names and some very expensive equipment from simply roasting like a marshmallow touching a campfire flame, the probe is equipped with an actively cooled carbon heat shield. Made from advanced materials, the shield is only about 4 inches (10 cm) thick and will keep instruments at around 85 degrees F (29 C), even when temperatures reach 2,500 F (1,371 C) on the sun-facing side.
How to watch the launch
The Parker Solar Probe now looks ready to launch from Kennedy Space Center's Space Launch Complex-37 at 3:33 a.m. ET Sunday, weather permitting.

Landes Comments on US Census Bureau Changes to Questions About Disabilities in AP Article
December 8, 2023
STAT,The Associated Press
The U.S. Census Bureau wants to change how it asks people about disabilities. Disability advocates say the change would artificially reduce their numbers by almost half. At stake are not only whether people with disabilities get vital resources for housing, schools or program benefits but whether people with disabilities are counted accurately in the first place.
The bureau has spent time, money and energy trying to improve counts of racial and ethnic minorities who have been historically undercounted, but the statistical agency seems willing to adapt questions that will shortchange the numbers of people with disabilities, says Scott Landes, associate professor of sociology and O'Hanley Faculty Scholar.
“This, in my mind, is illogical,” Landes, who is visually impaired, says. “There is a piece of me that thinks, ‘How dare you—to think that we don’t count.’ I get offended.”
Read more in the Associated Press article, “Census Bureau wants to change how it asks about disabilities. Some advocates don’t like it.”
Landes also co-authored an article, “The next Census could undercount the number of disabled Americans by 20 million,” that was published in STAT.
“As disabled people, and as scholars who study disability measurement and use disability data for our research, we have grave concerns about this proposed change,” says Landes and his co-author, Bonnielin Swenor. “If the Census changes its disability questions it will artificially reduce national estimates of disability almost by half, by the bureau’s own estimate.”

Philip Treacy: Pensioner bags a potential fortune after picking up designer handbag for just £20 in a charity shop
- Chinese buyers have offered hundreds of thousands of pounds for bag
- Designed by Philip Treacy who made hat Princess Beatrice wore at William and Kate's wedding
- Pensioner plans to use sale to buy hair salon for his partner
PUBLISHED: 10:53 EST, 12 July 2012 | UPDATED: 13:52 EST, 12 July 2012
Pensioner John Richard shows off the Philip Treacy handbag he paid just £20 for, which could be worth as much as £350,000
A lucky 73-year-old had to pinch himself after discovering the £20 handbag he bought in Oxfam is actually worth up to £350,000.
John Richard, of West Hampstead, London, had no idea of the spectacular value of the Philip Treacy creation when he bought it in the charity's Kingston branch.
The famous Irish designer creates hats for the rich and famous, including the likes of Lady Gaga and the influential late fashion editor of Tatler magazine, Isabella Blow.
He was forced to defend his work last year when a hat he made for Princess Beatrice to wear to the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton came in for widespread criticism.
Mr Richard said he was shocked to find the Treacy handbag 'lying in a box' as he trawled Oxfam for bargains.
The handbag has a distinctive Elvis Presley design by pop artist Andy Warhol and is believed to be one of only 10 ever made.
He only decided to check whether or not it was genuine two months after buying it.
Mr Richard told his local paper, the Hampstead and Highate Express: 'I decided to take it to the Philip Treacy shop and they confirmed that it was one of their’s.'
The handbag would have sold for between £200 and £400 when it was first made.
Mr Richard hopes to use cash from any future sale to pay for a hair salon for his partner - although expert auctioneers have told him to hang on to the handbag for the time being.
The pensioner says he has had interest in the eye catching piece from two private buyers in China - one of whom offered up to £350,000 for it.
The Philip Treacy bag has a distinctive Elvis Presley print design by Andy Warhol. It's believed only 100 were made
Work by the Irish designer Philip Treacy is highly collectible.
Gee Brunet, store manager of Philip Treacy London, confirmed the handbag is an original.
However some auctioneers have advised that the bag is unlikely to fetch the £350,000 Mr Richard has been quoted.
If it did, it is believed the bag would become the most expensive in history.
Mr Treacy was awarded an honorary OBE by Prince Charles for services to the British fashion industry in November 2007.
The hat worn by Princess Beatrice to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton was designed by Philip Treacy.
Fee Gilfeather, head of marketing for Oxfam Trading, said the charity was 'stunned' to hear how valuable the handbag was.
She said Oxfam was 'very disappointed' that it would not benefit from the potential re-sale price, and claimed the predicted £350,000 could help feed tens of thousands of families at risk of food shortages in West Africa.
'Oxfam has a dedicated team of experts who work with the most valuable donations from our shops across the country to secure the best price for Oxfam, including annual high profile auctions at Bonhams,' she said.
'But even so, we have never witnessed an item valued at this level.
'It’s highly unusual for an item of such extreme value to go unnoticed, and demonstrates the growing appetite for seemingly ordinary items overseas.
'We are of course very disappointed that Oxfam won’t benefit from the sale.
'In West Africa, where millions are at risk from severe food shortages right now, £350,000 could help bring food to 35,000 families for a whole month.'

Secret Service agent arrested after he was 'found drunk and passed out in Miami' after Obama visit
A U.S. Secret Service agent was arrested this morning after police found him drunk and passed out on a sidewalk.
Washington agent Aaron Francis Engler was in Miami on an assignment to protect President Obama.
But after the president flew out of the city on Thursday, Engler went out drinking.
His arrest will heap fresh embarrassment on the Secret Service, whose reputation took a blow when agents were embroiled in a prostitution scandal in Colombia earlier this year.
Heavy security: Secret Service agents can be seen next to and behind the President on his recent trip to Miami
No protection: Law enforcement sources told CBS4 that Engler was part of the advance team for the president's visit to Miami on Thursday
Since then, the agency has tried to crack down on drinking by agents.
When police officers - who were nearby on an unrelated call - tried to check on him, he allegedly started trying to fight with the officers.
Police handcuffed Engler and discovered his Secret Service identification when they went through his pockets. He was unarmed.
Law enforcement sources told CBS4 that he was part of the advance team for the President’s visit on Thursday.
He has been charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest without violence.
He was released and turned over to the Secret Service who flew him back to Washington.

With the Me Too movement, sexual harassment has come to the forefront of the nation’s attention. However, sexual-harassment is a relatively new concept under the law. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 initially targeted sex discrimination, not sexual-harassment. The Supreme Court first address the issue in 1986 and a case called Meritor Savings Bank, FSB v. Vinson. In that case, the supreme court help that title seven prohibited sex discrimination that was rooted in sexual harassment.
How am I protected from sexual harassment?
A. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
As stated above, the Supreme Court recognized that title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited sex discrimination that constitutes sexual harassment. Like most claims under title VII, the EEOC investigates charges of discrimination which allege sexual-harassment. It is important to file a charge of discrimination within the timeline specified by the statute.
B. The Texas Labor Code
Texas state law also prohibits sexual-harassment in the workplace as the Texas labor code has a provision in it that states that it is the goal for state law to follow the federal statute. Again, like other claims under the Texas labor code, sexual-harassment claims filed with the Texas Workforce Commission are investigated by the TWC so long as the claims are appropriately made within the allowable timeframe.
What is sexual harassment?
"In a general sense, sexual-harassment has been defined as engaging in ‘unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, sexually offensive remover language, or other verbal, visual, or physical conduct.’" Nagel Mfg. & Supply Co. v. Ulloa. Currently, the courts have recognized two types of sexual-harassment:
- Quid Pro Quo; and
- This is your typical, "If you scratch my back I scratch your back scenario."
- The harassment must be "severe and pervasive" for it to be considered a hostile work environment.
Ultimately, what constitute sexual harassment discrimination in the workplace is quite complicated because it deals heavily with interactions between humans and what is considered acceptable and what is not considered acceptable. Therefore, if you have experienced or think you have experience sexual harassment workplace, it may be in your best interest to talk to a Texas employment attorney to evaluate your case.
What are some examples of sexual harassment?
The following are some examples of sexual harassment in the workplace:
- Gender harassment – this can be an openly hostile work environment because of an individual's gender;
- Bribery based on sex – this occurs when an employer tries to solicit sexual favors in exchange for a work related reward;
- Sexual assault – this includes physical assault and rape;
- Coercion – this occurs when an employer attempts to coerce an employee into doing sexual acts to avoid negative employment action;
- Seduction – this happens when an employer makes unwanted advances towards employees; and
- Favoritism – the EEOC guidelines state favoritism may give rise to employer liability
Is same-sex sexual harassment illegal?
Yes, the individual harassing you at work does not have to be of the opposite sex. Sexual harassment laws do you require that the harassment be "because of sex," but that does not mean that you cannot be subjected to sexual-harassment by an individual in the workplace who is of the same sex. The Supreme Court recognized same sex sexual harassment as unlawful in Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Services, Inc.
Contact me, a Houston sexual harassment lawyer
Contact me to schedule a consultation if you believe that you have been subjected to sexual-harassment another place. Time to act on sexual-harassment claims is short. For private, non-governmental employees, you may have a deadline of 180 to 300 days. For federal employees, the window is shorter at 45 days.


The Chevrolet Volt, GM’s upcoming “extended-range electric vehicle,” has generated advance interest like few other cars this decade. First shown at the Detroit auto show in January 2007 as a radically styled concept car, it has evolved into a production vehicle—slated to be in showrooms in November 2010—at the same time its lithium-ion battery pack is being tested, and verified.
Intense interest has focused on what the Volt will really look like. Back in June, we pointed out that the production car wasn’t likely to resemble the “electric Camaro” concept. Over the past year, GM has teased the public with successive glimpses of more and more of the real thing. Now, the first set of photos of the whole car—shown behind the development team executives—have been “leaked” on several enthusiast websites.
And, indeed, the Volt turns out to be a stubby, slab-sided, high-tailed car with five doors, a high cowl, and a steeply raked windshield. Does that remind you of any particular top-selling, five-door, hybrid with unusual styling? Maybe, oh, a Toyota Prius?
If it does, there’s a very good reason. And it’s exactly the same reason that Honda’s new Insight “affordable hybrid” shares the same basic shape. Aerodynamics and the laws of physics are unforgiving, and managing airflow over the body of a hybrid is crucial to making the best use of every kilowatt-hour in that expensive battery pack. This past spring, during a press event to update reporters on the progress of the Volt and its technology, GM showed data bolstering the view that cutting drag did more for the Volt’s electric range than did reducing its weight.
There will be many more iterations to the Volt story between now and late 2010, when the first cars are scheduled to hit showrooms for actual sale to real live customers. (Pre-production test vehicles and fleet demonstrators will likely be on the roads long before that.)
During that time, you can expect more of these kinds of semi-official “leaks.” Why “leaks” in quotation marks? GM claims that a vendor made a mistake and released the photos, but even Lyle Dennis, founder of the popular GM-Volt site, expressed polite skepticism that they were a genuine leak. Still, you’ve got to give GM credit: They’ve proven themselves masters at stoking the fires of Volt fascination.

Selective excitation of the TE01 mode in hollow-glass waveguide using a subwavelength grating
Abbreviated Journal Title
IEEE Photonics Technol. Lett.
circular waveguides; gratings; multimode waveguides; optical fiber; coupling; optical fiber polarization; Engineering, Electrical & Electronic; Optics; Physics, Applied
In this work we demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, a novel subwavelength optical element for the elective excitation of the TEO1 mode inside a 300-mu m bore diameter hollow-glass waveguide (HGW) in order to reduce the transmission loss. The device consists of form birefringent gratings, where each section is oriented in a different direction so as to convert a linearly polarized input light to a rotating polarized one matching the TEO1 mode. Using this polarization converting element, we measured a 1.65-dB decrease in the transmission loss in the HGW at a wavelength of 1.55 mu m.

Motherboard Review Database
Mobo Review Database
We're excited to see what the Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 motherboard is capable of with a 6-core Phenom II X6 1090T chip locked into its AM3 socket....but this article is all about a first look at everything Gigabyte's squeezed in.
The rollout of the 890FX chipset completes AMD's gaming platform of 2010. As stated above, the new chipset is quite solid and worthy of enthusiasts' attention. Speaking of Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7, it has expectedly rich functionality. One distinctive feature is the original chipset cooling solution.
This has been the case with the Gigabyte 890FXA-UD7, which is by far their most extreme AMD motherboard yet. All the stops have been ripped out for this motherboard, and with an asking price of $240 US, it is actually more expensive than the vast majority of AMD’s desktop processors, which can be had for less than $200 US.
The AMD 890FX is a new high-end chipset for AMD processors and the Gigabyte 890FXA-UD7 is a high-end motherboard based on this new chipset, bringing features like six PCI Express x16 slots, six SATA-600 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, Japanese solid capacitors, lots of overclocking features and more.
We have played with a couple of the 8xx series chipsets, but so far have not gotten too deep into the 890FX. We have tried it out, but only once. Now we have been able to acquire a second 890FX board; this one is the GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD7. As an ultra-durable board it features GIGABYTE’s top end components and design. You get SATA 3.0, USB 3.0, Dual LAN ports (both GBe), advanced chipset cooling and much more.
The GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD7 comes packed with six mechanical PCI-E x16 slots, and it's not just for show, this motherboard is one of the few to support 4-way CrossFireX. Because of all these expansion slots, GIGABYTE have had to lengthen the PCB by 0.8 inches past the 12 inch ATX specification. As result, this model is deemed to have a non-standard XL-ATX form factor.
"The Gigabyte 890FXA-UD7 is a premium AM3 motherboard, and enthusiasts will no doubt be looking at it as an option for AMD's Thuban hex-core chips, particularly if SATA III and USB 3.0 are on the wish list of upgrade features."

Introducing Leonardo! Amy Childs shows off her loveable pet bulldog as she pays a visit to local boutique
She was out and about in her native Brentwood on Saturday morning – but Amy Childs wasn’t alone as she made her way towards her popular boutique.
The former TOWIE star, 24, was accompanied by the new man in her life – loveable pug Leonardo – and she was keen to show the brown and white puppy off after leaving her Essex home.
Sporting a loose fitting baseball shirt and skinny jeans, Amy looked casual as she gave her latest acquisition a tentative debut outing.
Introducing Leonardo: Amy Childs steps out with her new dog on Saturday morning
But the young bulldog looked a little unsure as it gingerly appeared in the doorway and required a little gentle persuasion from the business owner before finally venturing onto the driveway.
Amy, who rounded off her low-key ensemble with a pair of suede ankle boots, eventually scooped the pooch off the concrete and cradled it in her arms as she made her way towards her car.
The TV personality was making her way towards her Amy’s Boutique, and she ensured Leonardo was centre of attention by tweeting about him that morning.
Don't be shy: Amy has a problem getting the pooch outside
Here they come:The former reality TV star steps out with new pooch Leonardo on Saturday morning
Here boy: Amy encourages Leonardo across the pavement
Posting a shot of her new dog on Twitter, she wrote: ‘Will be in @AmyC_Boutique today … Pop in and meet my new baby puppy Leonardo.’
Calling into a local beauty salon prior to her boutique appearance, Amy found herself playing second fiddle to her four-legged friend after he caught the eye of a blonde employee.
The reality star opted to keep her colourful red hair tied in a neat plait during her latest outing – and her look mirrored the one favoured by old TOWIE pal Sam Faiers earlier in the week.
Let's go: The pair make their way into a local beauty salon
Heartbreaker: The pooch wins over a blonde employee
Despite no longer being on the reality show Amy - who now hosts a radio show - has still managed to get caught up in the drama of it.
Her old friend James Argent revealed in his new book that he enjoyed a ‘passionate kiss’ with the red head, but that’s not quite right according to Amy.
Writing in new! Magazine she said: ‘It's a lie. Arg needs to get his story straight.
‘We kissed for like, three seconds. Not even that. He didn't tell me he was with Lydia at the time either.’
Her comments come after Lydia said she would refuse to film with Amy if she ever returned to the show.
Playful: Amy has a laugh with her new dog
Here he is: Amy posted this shot of Leonardo on Twitter on Saturday morning

Neural Networks (NNs) have been widely used in supervised learning due to their ability to model complex nonlinear patterns, often presented in high-dimensional data such as images and text. However, traditional NNs often lack the ability for uncertainty quantification. Bayesian NNs (BNNS) could help measure the uncertainty by considering the distributions of the NN model parameters. Besides, domain knowledge is commonly available and could improve the performance of BNNs if it can be appropriately incorporated. In this work, we propose a novel Posterior-Regularized Bayesian Neural Network (PR-BNN) model by incorporating different types of knowledge constraints, such as the soft and hard constraints, as a posterior regularization term. Furthermore, we propose to combine the augmented Lagrangian method and the existing BNN solvers for efficient inference. The experiments in simulation and two case studies about aviation landing prediction and solar energy output prediction have shown the knowledge constraints and the performance improvement of the proposed model over traditional BNNs without the constraints.

As part of our company registration the boundary of the Stanley Street Quarter has been devised to allow the CIC a fixed area to apply for funding and evaluate impact and issues. It has been developed taking into account physical boundaries (building blocks, roads etc) and socio-economic boundaries (Neighbourhood Boundaries, location of LGBT friendly businesses and areas benefiting from other investments/inititatives).
All shaded buildings would be classed as ‘within the Stanley Street Quarter’.
Buildings shown in Red are within the Stanley Street Quarter no matter of their usage.
Buildings shown in Purple are on the edge of the area and businesses within these are seen as part of the area however the businesses within/ the building may fall/associate into another area.
As a guide, the highway (pavement and road) directly in front of the shaded buildings are within the Stanley Street Quarter footprint.
For businesses such as Hotels\Hostels and other attractions that have an influence on the area/LGBT Community it is recognised that there is a larger circle of influence around the area which SSQ CIC would seek to work in partnership with.
The map below is for indicative purposes only - in all cases where it is not clear if a particular stakeholder is within the boundary covered by the CIC the board shall have the final say taking into account the individual merit of the query.

I have a 2005 chevy impala 3.4 sfi 6cyl and
need to know how to replace the
transmission control solenoid.
well there are a lot of complaints~ http://www.carcomplaints.com/Chevrolet/Impala/2005/transmission/
solenoids are reliable...the signal to them is what we need to examine~ I believe this has a TCM transmission control module~ can dig deeper if you can't find it...or see the ground wire is off or connector is not fully plugged in or being a 2005 is suffering from LOW voltage~ brains go a bit caflooy when provided under- voltage...just get a new battery cause you need one and examine all connections~
solenoid just screws into the side...on lexus there are three of them~ not relyin' on pressure but signals from the TCM, or transmission control module~ but undervoltage is our culprit..I recon~
As you can see it is not an easy job, here the tranny is removed.

I'm a sophomore in the mechanical engineering program, and I've been struggling with dynamics all semester. I understand most of the concepts, but small computational errors have led to me having a 76% average in the class halfway through the semester. My question is: if I'm struggling with this now, will I even make a good engineer someday? How important is the mastery of statics/dynamics? This is a question that's been plaguing me all semester, so a response would be much appreciated! Oh, and I've done well in all my math classes, linear algebra in particular, but calculus 1, 2, and currently 3 at the moment.

President Donald Trump looks on at the end of his speech during a rally to contest the certification of the results of the 2020 US presidential election by the US Congress on January 6, 2021 in Washington, USA.
Jim Bourg | Reuters
The NAACP and Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, sued former President Donald Trump, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani and two right-wing groups on Tuesday for plotting to incite the fatal Jan 6 Riots in the US Capitol.
The lawsuit, which is likely to include other Democratic lawmakers, cites the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, which accused the defendants of conspiring to prevent Congress from electing Joe Biden to confirm to president.
This law was passed 15 years after the end of the civil war in response to the violence of the racist KKK and its intimidation of South Congressmen.
In addition to Trump and Giuliani, defendants in the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC include the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers groups, members of which were known to be among the thousands of people who broke into the Capitol last month.

The lawsuit comes three days after Trump was acquitted of instigating the uprising in his second Senate impeachment trial. Only seven Republicans voted to condemn Trump.
Trump had said without evidence for months before election day that the 2020 presidential contest would be fraudulent. He spent two months after his loss to Biden falsely claiming that he won the election and that there was widespread election rigging that passed the official results on to the Democrats.
On January 6, shortly before the Capitol invaded, Trump, Giuliani, and other speakers at a rally outside the White House encouraged supporters to oppose the confirmation of Biden’s victory by a joint congressional session, which is usually a formality.
In a press release announcing the lawsuit, the NAACP said: “The uprising was the result of a carefully crafted plan by Trump, Giuliani, and extremist groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, all of whom shared the common goal of using intimidation. Harassment and Threats to Stop Electoral College Certification. “

“They succeeded in carrying out their plan. After seeing the Capitol police barricade the doors of the house’s chamber with furniture, Congressman Thompson and other lawmakers put on gas masks and were taken to the Longworth House office block to take them.” More than 200 other representatives, employees and staff members sought protection. “
The lawsuit accuses the defendants of a coordinated plan to undermine the democratic electoral process and block the legal votes on millions of ballots cast by black Americans.
“January 6th was one of the most shameful days in our country’s history and was instigated by the president himself,” Thompson said in a statement.
Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat and chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, listens during a hearing in Washington, DC, the United States, on Thursday, September 17, 2020.

“His joyful support of violent white supremacists resulted in a rupture of the Capitol that put my life and that of my colleagues in grave danger. It is a coincidence that the outcome was no more fatal. While the majority of Republicans in The Senate have a responsibility to holding the president accountable has been given up. We must hold him accountable for the uprising he has so obviously planned. “
Thompson added that the failure to hold the defendants accountable “invites this kind of authoritarianism to the right-wing anti-democratic forces so intent on destroying our country.”
Jason Miller, a Trump spokesman, said in a statement: “President Trump was acquitted in the recent Democratic witch hunt and the facts are irrefutable.”
“President Trump did not plan, produce or organize the January 6 rally on the Ellipse. President Trump did not instigate or conspire violence in the Capitol on January 6,” Miller said.
He added that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., “And Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, have to answer questions about why they turned down additional Security and National Guard assistance in the run-up to Jan. 6. “
Giuliani did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

To celebrate my first Friday back blogging I wanted to share a little gem I discovered a few weeks ago. It’s crazy simple, looks impressive, and obviously absolutely delicious. It’s now become my brunch staple and perfect for lazy Saturday mornings. Literally you basically put everything in one pan, and wait. It’s pretty wonderful.
fresh, sliced mozzarella
basil leafs (as much as your little heart desires)
1 bunch of asparagus
4 organic eggs
salt & pepper (preferably pink himalayan salt)
Simply blanch you asparagus. Add some coconut/or/canola oil to a medium-high heated pan. Add your asparagus. Crack eggs on top. Salt and pepper. Next, cover pan and let the eggs slowly cook/steam, making sure you keep a close eye! They’ll be done when their is a slight white on top of yolks. Add mozzarella to melt. Sprinkle basil over top, and add a bit more salt and pepper. Done! Serve with toast + unlimited Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s.
lots + love, happy weekend.

Major tech companies and car manufacturers are starting to actually build fleets of autonomous cars for testing, the latest being Intel.
Intel is set to expand its testing of autonomous cars from just a few vehicles, to a fleet of 100 that will travel to various cities across the US, Europe and Israel.
The Level 4 SAE vehicles – a standard of high automation, only one level behind full automation – are set to be deployed later this year.
Last March, Intel revealed it was paying $15.3bn to access Mobileye’s computer vision technology, describing the acquisition as merging “the intelligent eyes of the autonomous car with the intelligent brain that actually drives the car”.
This means that Mobileye’s computer vision, sensing, fusion, mapping and driving policy will work alongside Intel’s computing, data centre and 5G communication technologies to deliver a ‘car to cloud’ system.
In the hope of showing that the technology can work on multiple platforms, Intel said that the fleet will include multiple car brands and vehicle types.
‘Possible almost immediately’
“Delivering 100 test cars very quickly will demonstrate how this hybrid system can be adapted to meet customer needs,” said Amnon Shashua, soon-to-be senior vice-president of Intel and future CEO/CTO of Mobileye.
“Neither company could do this alone. Given resident skill sets within the two companies, a stand-alone fleet of test vehicles is possible almost immediately.”
He added: “Our goal is to develop autonomous vehicle technology that can be deployed anywhere, which means we need to test and train the vehicles in varying locations.”
This marks another milestone for Intel’s plans to be the dominant force in autonomous vehicles, having committed last year to spend $250m on its core technology over the space of two years.
Last month, the company’s quarterly report revealed that it was doing rather well, marking better-than-expected results for the second quarter of 2017 with profits of $2.8bn on revenues of $14.8bn.

Citizen’s Coalition for Electoral Democracy in Uganda (CCEDU) has noted the need for voter education and voter mobilization in Uganda, as a measure to ensure high participation of citizens in the upcoming 2021 general elections.
CCEDU says, an observer’s report from the recently concluded village elections for representatives of the elderly reflected low voter and candidate’s participation as most people were not aware that elections were taking place.
According to the report, majority of the candidates for ositions in the elections for the elderly went unopposed while others remain vacant due to low participation.
The observers who covered 1,024 villages across the country report reported that political parties also did not participate fully in the elections for the older persons, with mainly the ruling party National Resistance Movement (NRM), Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) and the independents, taking part.
CCEDU Coordinator, Ms Charity Ahimbisibwe Kaleebo said, this points to a gap in voter education and voter mobilization which CCEDU and other stakeholders are trying to work around.
29 percent of the observers also reported that voters did not understand polical parties and party symbols. CCEDU says this points to a gap in voter education and mobilization which is key to citizens’ participation in elections.
With elections for Persons with Disabilities (PDWDs) and general elections looming, Ms Charity says, the observers’ findings points to the fact that political parties need to work harder to make communities understand political party symbols and ideals.
She also said CCEDU is hopeful and still keeps a keen interest in participation of both the voters and candidates in all 1024 villages where they have actively deployed election observers.
