Starting next month, business travelers going between Dallas and Austin will have a new transportation option. Vonlane, an executive motor coach, rolls into town on May 5. Featuring first class seats, Wi-Fi, a conference room and noise-cancelling headphones, the luxury bus service is looking to tap into the premium travel market.
"We created, in Vonlane, a more dignified way to travel that helps business people reclaim the productive hours that are typically lost when flying or driving between Texas cities," founder and president Alex Danza said.
Each $100 ticket includes Wi-Fi, electrical outlets, desk space and complimentary coffee and sandwiches.
A one-way ticket will cost $100, which is about five times as expensive as Megabus. But the amenities are plentiful. Each seat includes Wi-Fi, electrical outlets and desk space.
If you need a break from business, Vonlane offers satellite TV and radio. Sandwiches, coffee and other snacks are complimentary. Travelers can also bring their own food aboard.
Vonlane motor coaches sport 16 roomy leather seats that are all located on either aisles or windows. For comparison, a traditional charter bus fits 56 seats into the same space.
To further cater to the business traveler, there are no fees to change your ticket should a meeting run late, and all tickets are refundable with 24 hours notice. The only service not included in the $100 ticket price is parking.
The route runs four times daily, Monday through Friday, with pickup and drop-off at Wyndham Love Field hotel in Dallas and the Hyatt Regency in Austin. Although the route will initially serve only those two cities, there are already expansion plans for Houston and San Antonio.


Move over London. New York has ended the British capital's 2½-year reign as the world's most expensive city in which to accommodate employees.
That's according to the real estate firm Savills, which attributes London's fall to the plunge in the pound following the U.K. vote in June to leave the European Union.
The price tag for employers to accommodate staff in New York is now "well ahead of Hong Kong and London and almost twice the price of nearest U.S. rival San Francisco," Savills says.
It arrived at its ranking by examining residential and office rental costs in cities around the world. Here's the top 10.

Korbinian Brodmann (* 17. November 1868 in Liggersdorf; † 22. August 1918 in München) war ein deutscher Neuroanatom und Psychiater.

Leben
Brodmann wurde als Sohn des Landwirtes Josef Brodmann und einer Magd geboren und besuchte von 1874 bis 1880 die Volksschule in Liggersdorf/Hohenzollern, im Anschluss die Bürgerschule in Überlingen und die Gymnasien in Sigmaringen und Konstanz. Brodmann studierte von 1889 bis 1895 Medizin in München, Würzburg, Berlin und schließlich in Freiburg im Breisgau, wo er 1895 sein Studium abschloss. 1895 erfolgte die Approbation zum Arzt. Anschließend arbeitete Brodmann für einige Wochen als praktischer Arzt im Schwarzwald. Das Sommersemester 1895 verbrachte er an der Universität Lausanne (Schweiz), wo er zwar Vorlesungen besuchte, jedoch nicht als Student eingeschrieben war. Im Wintersemester 1895/96 begann Brodmann als Volontär an der Kinderpoliklinik des Reisingerianums am Universitätsklinikum München zu arbeiten. Während dieser Zeit erkrankte er an Diphtherie und nahm, wie Oskar Vogt in seinem Nachruf auf Brodmann schrieb, "zu seiner Erholung" eine Assistentenstelle an der von ihm geleiteten Nervenheilanstalt in Alexandersbad im Fichtelgebirge an. Nach seinem Aufenthalt in Bad Alexandersbad verbrachte Brodmann das Wintersemester 1896/97 in Berlin, bevor er nach Leipzig wechselte, wo er am Pathologischen Institut der Universität Leipzig arbeitete. 1898 erwarb er den Dr. med. an der Universität Leipzig mit einer Arbeit über die chronische Ependymsklerose. Von 1898 bis 1900 arbeitete Brodmann als Assistenzarzt an der Psychiatrischen Klinik der Universität Jena unter Otto Binswanger. Im Juni 1900 begann Brodmann seine Arbeit an der Städtischen Nervenklinik in Frankfurt am Main. Dort traf er 1901 auf Alois Alzheimer, der ihn ermutigte, sich mit neurowissenschaftlicher Grundlagenforschung zu beschäftigen.

Infolge dieser Anregung ging Brodmann von August 1901 bis Oktober 1910 zu Oskar Vogt an das private Institut Neurologische Zentralstation in Berlin, aus dem 1902 das Neurobiologische Laboratorium der Universität Berlin und 1915 das Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut für Hirnforschung hervorging. 1909 erstellte er an diesem Institut auch sein Hauptwerk "Vergleichende Lokalisationslehre der Großhirnrinde". Seine Habilitationsschrift "Die cytoarchitektonische Kortexgliederung der Halbaffen", die Grundlage für die später nach ihm benannte Einteilung der Großhirnrinde in Felder, wurde von der Berliner Fakultät abgelehnt.

Im Laufe der Zeit verschlechterte sich das Verhältnis zwischen Brodmann und Vogt zunehmend. Diese Entwicklung resultierte schließlich in einem Schreiben Vogts an Brodmann, in dem Vogt die Entlassung Brodmanns zum 1. August 1910 ankündigte. Brodmann bat Vogt darum, die Kündigung zunächst zurückzunehmen und bot ihm dafür an, zum 1. Oktober 1910 zu kündigen, worauf sich beide schließlich einigten. Die Gründe für das Zerwürfnis zwischen Brodmann und Vogt sind nicht geklärt. Nach seinem Abschied aus Berlin nahm Brodmann eine Stelle an der Klinik für Gemüts- und Nervenkrankheiten an der Universität Tübingen an, wo er sich habilitieren konnte und sich vom Assistenzarzt über Privatdozent, Oberarzt hocharbeitete und schließlich 1913 zum Professor berufen wurde. 1916 wechselte er nach Halle, um am Krankenhaus (Landesheilanstalt) Nietleben zu arbeiten. Dort lernte er die medizinisch-technische Assistentin Margarete Franke kennen, die er im April 1917 heiratete. Im Januar 1918 wurde ihre Tochter Ilse geboren.

Brodmann erhielt schließlich einen Ruf an die Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, wo er ab dem 1. April 1918 als Leiter der topographisch-histologischen Abteilung der Deutschen Forschungsanstalt für Psychiatrie, dem späteren Max-Planck-Institut für Psychiatrie, arbeitete. Bereits im August jedoch starb Brodmann im Alter von 49 Jahren nach kurzer Krankheit an den Folgen einer Sepsis. Es handelte sich dabei mutmaßlich um das Wiederaufflackern eines Infektes, den er sich ein Jahr zuvor bei einer Autopsie zugezogen hatte.

Die gut erhaltene Grabstätte Brodmanns und seiner Frau befindet sich auf dem Hauptfriedhof von Forst (Lausitz).

Brodmann-Areale

Nach diversen Vorpublikationen, unter anderem in den Jahren 1903 und 1908, publizierte Brodmann im Jahr 1909 seine abschließenden Ergebnisse zur Zellarchitektur der Großhirnrinde (Vergleichende Lokalisationslehre der Großhirnrinde in ihren Prinzipien dargestellt auf Grund ihres Zellenbaues). Er teilte die Großhirnrinde nach histologischen Kriterien in 52 Felder ein, die nach ihm heute als Brodmann-Areale benannt sind. Obwohl Brodmann bereits in Ansätzen die funktionelle Bedeutung der Parzellierungen erkannte (z. B. der Area 4 als Motokortex nach den Vorbeschreibungen von Exner, 1894, und Campbell, 1903), wurde für die meisten Areale erst später klar, was sie für die Funktion des Gehirns bedeuten. Zu den Arealen zählen zum Beispiel

 das Areal 4 des primär-motorischen Cortex auf dem Gyrus praecentralis des Frontallappens
 die Areale 41 und 42 auf dem Gyrus temporalis transversus Heschl, die die primäre und sekundäre Hörrinde im Temporallappen bilden
 die Areale 44 und 45 auf dem Gyrus frontalis inferior, Partes opercularis et triangularis: Broca-Areal
 die Areale 1, 2 und 3 des primären somatosensorischen Cortex auf dem Gyrus postcentralis des Parietallappens
 und das Areal 17 des primären visuellen Cortex im Sulcus calcarinus sowie die Areale 18 und 19 des sekundären visuellen Cortex im Occipitallappen.

Rindenoberfläche
Die Arbeit der Neuroanatomen wie Brodmann hat klargemacht, dass die Rindenoberfläche, in Ergänzung zum einfacher messbaren Volumen, ein wichtiger Parameter in der Beschreibung des Gehirns ist. Erste Versuche dazu gab es ab der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Für die ersten systematischen und ausführlichen Messungen entwickelten Brodmann und sein Freund und Neuroanatom Henneberg-Neubabelsberg gemeinsam ein Verfahren, wofür die Rindenoberfläche mit Seidenpapier ausgelegt wurde. Eine bis heute verwendete Datenbank über eine breite Auswahl von Säugetieren veröffentlichte Brodmann im Jahr 1913.

Museum
In seinem Geburtsort Hohenfels-Liggersdorf (Hauptstraße 30) befindet sich ein Museum mit seinem Namen.

THE YOUTH MINISTRY IN PERSPECTIVE
The Youth Ministry of Winners Chapel Ghana has come a long way, from the days of the dreams of a few young men and women led by a pastor with a vision to curve to the days of stark realities of the challenges young people are faced with and how to help them walk through these tempestuous days of youth.
Ecclesiastes 12:1 "remember your Creator in the days of thy youth"
The vision of the Youth ministry is curved into a slogan so all members can know it "by heart" and leave by it in their daily life. The vision is "LOVING GOD, LOVING PEOPLE, CELEBRATING LIFE"
All our programs and activities are tailored to fit our vision, so we celebrate birthdays, weddings and wedding anniversaries, naming ceremonies, graduations and any other activities that provide the opportunity to celebrate life. Because of our loving people nature, we are warm, friendly, and very hospitable, in the Youth Ministry we see ourselves as one big family. Because we love GOD, we are constantly in HIS presence and developing our spiritual life through HIS Grace.
Our Mission is to help the youth in the church to foster an intimate relationship with GOD, to instill and project integrity, skills, competence and an excellent spirit in the youth so as to promote GODLY values, to encourage the youth to serve GOD and HIS ministry, to promote creativity, innovation and the spirit of entrepreneurship, to unearth and develop the great talents that abide in the youth, to foster GODLY relationships and fellowship among members in other to provide support for each other.
We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God, all-sufficient authority in matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian living. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, and that He is the Son of God. He came to earth in the form of man and died on the cross for our sins. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father and is now our High Priest and Advocate.
Our membership is opened to everyone who is above the age of 18years.
The Youth Ministry started 5years ago with about 15 members. Today the youth ministry can boast of a membership well over 150 with about 50 very active members.
We have organized five successive Youth camps with a continues rise in attendance the last one which was at Prampram saw a total of about 150 youth from all over Winners Chapel Ghana branches in accra and the other regions. Takoradi branch providing the highest number of representatives from the regions. The ministry has also established campus satellite fellowship on the Legon campus, which is thriving with an elaborate vision to replicate the same on other University and Polytechnic campuses nation wide.
The Youth ministry as part of its mission to promote creativity and innovation has established, the youth choreography group, the Youth drama group and the youth choir with the creation of other groups, which will help with talent development and bring out the creativity in the youth in the pipeline.
The vision of the current youth pastor, Pastor Opon, is to see the youth very vibrant and taking a major role in church activities, to achieve this aim, the youth choir is given occasional platform to perform in the main church to showcase their creativity and talent. The Youth drama group has performed a total of about 7 plays since it's inception some two years ago.
New plans are being introduced to attract more youth in the church to participate fully in the youth ministry and its activities.
There have been a few challenges along the way, but this is to be expected with any human institution, but glory to GOD, this challenges have not broken us but instead by the Grace of GOD has strengthened us and made us stronger in our resolve to serve our GOD.
The future is a bright one for the youth ministry and we are more than expectant of what GOD wants to do with us. We are going places, leaving footprints in the sands of time, taking territories and making disciples of nations. We are generational impactors, champions and winners. We are too aware of our heritage in Christ and as ambassadors with him our future can only be bright and glorious and this is the path HIS Grace has set us on.
We entreat all young people in the church to find a place in the youth ministry and develop themselves. The lord is doing a lot with the young people in the ministry let's avail ourselves and GOD will make us more than conquerors.

We know that if you and your family are dealing with a mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer diagnosis… you have questions. Below we've outlined some of the frequently asked questions to help you better understand our process. Have a question we have not addressed? Call us now Toll-Free at (855) 883-6447 and we'll get you answers right away!
Our attorneys work on a "contingency fee basis" so we only get paid if we successfully resolve your claim. If we are unable to get you a settlement or judgment, you will owe nothing.
How much out-of-pocket expenses will I be required to pay?
No. Companies who were (and still are) liable for asbestos claims have put aside over $30 Billion into 'asbestos trusts' to compensate those diagnosed with asbestos lung cancer and mesothelioma. Even if you worked for the government, or your employer is bankrupt, money may still be available to you and your family. Receiving compensation from the asbestos trusts may be easier and quicker than you think.
What if I don't know what caused my illness?
Those people who owned their own business or worked for a small company can still bring a mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer claim. Anyone who was exposed to asbestos products and later developed mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer can bring a claim against the asbestos manufacturers.
My loved one has already passed from mesothelioma/lung cancer, can I still file a claim?
Yes. Family members may also qualify for compensation. Even if a loved one has already passed due to mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer, a spouse, child or representative may still be entitled to benefits from the asbestos trust funds and other solvent companies.
I (my loved one) was a smoker, or is still smoking; can I still file a claim?
Yes. Smoking does not affect your ability to file a claim. If you were a smoker, or are still smoking, you are still entitled to file a mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer claim. Mesothelioma is not related to smoking. Tobacco usage does not cause mesothelioma cancers because the tobacco smoke and its contaminants only enter the lungs.
Will filing an asbestos claim affect other benefits I am receiving?
The Flint Law Firm will work with the specifics of each situation to make sure that any effect on your existing benefits is understood and planned for in the handling of your case. Typically, the filing of our claim has no effect on any other benefits you may be receiving.

March 11: Douglas Adams
Douglas Adams (1952)
It was on this date, March 11, 1952, that British humorist and writer Douglas Adams was born in Cambridge. Best known as the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with it's signature injunction, "Don't Panic," this veritable franchise started on BBC radio, developed into a "trilogy" of five books, a television series, several stage plays and in 2005 a feature film. Even the titles are amusing: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1979), The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (1980), Life, the Universe and Everything (1982), So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (1984) and Mostly Harmless (1992). In addition to the Hitchhiker's Guide series, Adams was the author Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (1987) and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (1988).
In his early years, Douglas was an exceptional student on a number of levels. His form master at prep school described him as "unnaturally tall and in his short trousers he looked a trifle self-conscious. Yet it was his ability to write first-class stories that really made him shine." He was awarded a place at St John's College, Cambridge to read English on the strength of an essay on religious poetry that discussed The Beatles alongside William Blake. But his real purpose at Cambridge was to join the Footlights, a student comedy club that accepted comic talent by invitation only and was know as a breeding ground for comic talent in England.
"I am convinced that there is not a god," Douglas Adams said. But religion fascinated him: "I love to keep poking and prodding at it. I've thought about it so much over the years that that fascination is bound to spill over into my writing." So he would not be asked if he meant agnostic, Adams described himself as a "radical atheist." As a staunch atheist, Adams famously imagined a sentient puddle who wakes up one morning and thinks, "This is an interesting world I find myself in—an interesting hole I find myself in—fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!"
Adams died on 11 May 2001 at age 49 in California. Fellow atheist Richard Dawkins dedicated his popular book The God Delusion to Adams, and quotes him saying, "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" Never one to take target dates seriously in his writing, it was Douglas Adams who said, "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by."

May 12: Florence Nightingale
"I am so glad that my God is not the God of the High Church or of the Low," said Nightingale. She despised the churches and was an advanced Rationalist.

For you, coffee is a way of life. But what exactly is in your coffee cup?
Coffee is your morning ritual. It wakes you up and gets you going. It picks you up when you hit that midday energy lull. It's how you come together with friends and family. For you, coffee is a way of life.
If you're a newcomer to the art of making coffee at home, you may have heard the words "Arabica" and "Robusta" thrown about. Although they sound foreign at first, these are actually two pretty important terms you should know.
Arabica (Coffea arabica) and Robusta (Coffea canephora) are the two most common commercial coffees. When you're shopping for coffee beans, these are the ones you'll find. However, there are some significant differences between them that you, the home barista, should be aware of.
First and foremost, let's start with the biggest distinguishing characteristic of Arabica and Robusta—taste. Arabica produces an aromatic coffee that comes from a high content of lipids and sugars, which help the coffee retain that desirable aroma. Arabica has 60% more lipids than Robusta and twice the sugar. It accounts for the majority of the world's coffee production, and its singular flavor quality makes it the most prized among coffee connoisseurs.
By contrast, Robusta is believed to be vastly inferior to Arabica. It has more caffeine than Arabica, which gives it a bitter taste often described as grain-like or rubbery, like burnt tires.
It's no surprise, then, that when it comes to taste, coffee experts say that Arabica is the winner, hands-down. Though, as we'll see below, Robusta still has its place in the coffee universe.
As stated above, Robusta has more caffeine than Arabica, which gives it a bitter flavor. On average, Robusta beans have 83% more caffeine than Arabica beans. But if you read a little further, there's actually an advantage to Robusta's higher caffeine content.
Arabica beans have an oval shape, while Robusta beans are rounder. Additionally, Arabica beans are larger and have an S-shaped crack on the flat side. The crack of a Robusta bean is more of a straight line.
There is a significant difference in the height of the two plants as well. Arabica trees grow to a height of around 4.5 meters (14.8 feet), while the Robusta tree can reach up to 6 meters (20 feet).
Another major difference between Arabica and Robusta is where they are grown. Arabica grows best in subtropical environments with a temperature range between 59°F – 75°F. Additionally, it likes the shade and needs an elevation of around 1900 ft. or more above sea level. Countries that grow the most Arabica are in Africa and South America, with Brazil being the leading producer of Arabica.
Meanwhile, Robusta thrives in hotter temperatures, lower elevations, and full sunlight. Robusta is grown in the Eastern Hemisphere, mainly in Asia and parts of Africa. Among countries where Robusta is grown, Vietnam produces the most.
Arabica is considered the best-tasting coffee by connoisseurs all across the board. However, there are a few catches.
The growing conditions required for Arabica, as mentioned above, make it a very fussy, high-maintenance plant. It requires a specific environment with high elevations, warm temperatures, and rich soil. Additionally, it is vulnerable to insects and can easily be damaged by cold temperatures and improper handling. Basically, Arabica is a delicate plant that needs extra attention.
By contrast, Robusta is a much tougher plant. Besides its ability to withstand harsher conditions than Robusta, there's a considerable advantage to its extra caffeine content. The increased amount of caffeine in Robusta generates a greater level of chlorogenic acids. Also known as CGA, chlorogenic acids protect the coffee plants from harmful insects and other pests as well as diseases to which plants are vulnerable, including coffee rust and coffee berry disease. Since Robusta contains nearly twice as much CGA as Arabica, it's a much more durable coffee plant.
While Arabica is considered the superior coffee, it's more expensive than Robusta. Besides needing specific growing conditions and extra care, Arabica yields a lower harvest than Robusta. According to Statista.com, the average price per kilogram of Arabica in 2018 is US$3.28, compared to US$2.00 for Robusta. As a commodity good, the price of coffee is subject to change due to market fluctuation, weather conditions, and other factors, driving the cost either up or down.
Another reason why Arabica is more expensive is the greater demand for it than for Robusta. Coffee brewers vastly prefer the smooth taste of Arabica to the harsh taste of Robusta, so of course, they want more Arabica.
Since Robusta is cheaper, commercial coffee companies frequently use it as a filler in their products to cut costs. It's also the main coffee bean used for instant coffee, which may be yet another reason for coffee experts to turn up their noses at Robusta.
It's true that coffee experts prefer Arabica to Robusta. However, it's worth mentioning that not all Arabica is of high quality. Likewise, there are excellent Robusta coffees.
And there are certain cases where Robusta serves a purpose. For instance, Robusta is highly desirable in Italian espressos. The reason for this is that Robusta produces a more excellent crema, the light-brown liquid that forms at the top of the espresso and gives it a fuller taste.
There may also come a time when coffee roasters and brewers will have to rely more on Robusta. Areas where Arabica is grown are coming increasingly under threat from changes in climate. These fluctuations include changes in temperature and rainfall, which can severely damage Arabica crops. This could potentially lead to an increase in demand for and production of Robusta.
Fortunately, some experts are already preparing for this scenario. In 2009, workshops were conducted to set standards for the quality of Robusta. These included discussions of cupping methods, roasting profiles, and grading. In addition, research is being conducted on growing conditions and improved cultivations methods to further raise the quality of Robusta coffee.
There has been plenty of research on the health benefits of coffee over the years. Arabica has several of these, but so does Robusta. Let's take a look at each one.
So, as you can see, for most coffee lovers, it's a no-brainer: Arabica wins every time. But don't count Robusta out altogether; it still has its uses and benefits. And, as always, it comes down to personal preference.

Cherokee Rolls & Census Records
Rolls & Census And Brief Explanation of Each Roll
This list of Rolls has been gleaned from the Internet. Microfilm numbers included if found and some may be duplicates. Number verified with NARA when possible.
The first "official" rolls were in 1817 and there were two - the Reservation Roll and the Emigration Roll.
Reservation Roll
A list of those desiring a 640 acre tract in the east and permitted to reside there. The 1817 treaty allowed for a six hundred and forty acre life estate per head of household, which upon the death of the grantee, or abandonment of the land by the grantee, reverted to the state; microfilm Group 75.
Emigration Roll
Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina
Chronological list of those Cherokee who wish to emigrate. Contains rolls of emigrants, muster rolls of conducted parties, and lists of emigrants able to emigrate by themselves. These "Old Settlers" volunteered to move to Arkansas and relinquish all rights to lands east of the Mississippi River. Microfilm A21
Those who filed to emigrate to Arkansas country and after 1828 to Oklahoma.
Cherokee East of the Mississippi Census
in 1835 the Cherokee Nation contained almost 22,000 Cherokees and almost 300 whites connected by marriage.
Henderson Roll
Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina.
Gives the head of families, Indian half-breeds, quadroons and whites with a break-down by age for both male and females. Much other information is given of those who were to be moved to the west.
National Archives T-496
A census of 16,000+ Cherokee residing in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina who were to be removed to Oklahoma under the Treaty of New Echota. Also called the Trail of Tears Roll. Trail of Tears map.
Mullay Roll
North Carolina.
County by county listing of the 1517 entries. Giving remarks as to their status, i.e. deceased, Orphaned and Cherokee and/or English names. This is a census of the Eastern Band.
Federal records #7RA-06
A census of 1517 Cherokee people who remained in North Carolina after the Removal of 1838.
Old Settlers Roll
West of the Mississippi

Refence object change after inspection lot is created.
After creating a quality control order and confirming it, system created an inspection lot for the reference object. Afterwards, the reference object of the order was changed (btw, no action has been taken for the previosly created inspection lot). The system created a new inspection lot for the new reference object, without deleting the previous one. ( There are now 2 entry in QAPP table for 2 reference object). When trying to give usage decision for the control party, system gives error since the inspection lot of the first reference object has not been assigned any characteristic value. The worse is that you can assing quality control results only to the last object. Do you have any suggestions to solve this problem?
If it is not error but confirmation prompt, just select 'Yes' to force inspection completion.
If you did not record any result for previous object, try to delete the inspection lot then create new inspeciton lot for order at transaction IW32.
start or end date accordingly.
assigned to the inspection lot, the system also updates the inspection lot quantity.
been made for the inspection lot.
Above std SAP is just for a reference perpose in order to understand std beheviour.
Now I am curious to know what all lots you can see in QA32 both or second one ???
Also only solution I know is take UD of the newly created lot only. as first lot's reference no more available.
I forgot to mention that the system does not generate a new inpection lot with a new obj Id. As I change the reference object, it updates QAPP table for the same inspection lot without deleting the previous ones. For example, for inspection lot 1490000006 there are three entries in QAPP table with different reference objects. In QA32, as I try to give control results it only brings the last reference object. But, when I try to give usage decision, in refrence objects tab there are all of the reference objects.
But as i told in my second message, when I change the reference object the system does not generate a new inspection lot, but adds one more entry (in QAPP table) for the same inspection lot with new reference object. I think your answer is for the situation in which the system generates a new inpection lot for each reference object change.

Community Highlights - January Newsletter
The Wall Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) held its 7th Annual Meeting on November 16th. WEDC recognized four award recipients who have made a difference in our community and who's work aligns with WEDC's mission.
Zack Hoffman received the Business Development Leader award. Zack has shown exemplarity leadership skills by volunteering with youth baseball, volunteering on the ambulance board, developing a new business along with his partners, getting involved with city council, and volunteering a various local events.
Brett Blasius was awarded the Community Enhancement award. Brett has consistently demonstrated an unyielded dedication to community service, and to improving the lives of others. Brett can be found picking up trash around the community each morning, encouraging youth sports and activities, and is also the only bank president we know who comes in early to scoop snow during the wintertime. Brett sets a great example of what service to your community means.
Dakota Sky Stone was recognized with the Business Retention and Expansion award. Business retention and expansion is a critical part of economic development. Dakota Sky Stone established their very own shipping and manufacturing facility right here in Wall. This new facility was crucial for them to supplement their online sales growth.
The Pennington County Commissioners received the Wall Economic Development Corporation's 2022 Friend of Economic Development award. The Pennington County Commissioners got the Industrial Park project off of the ground by donating $660,000 to go towards infrastructure in the park to connect to the city's wastewater system.
Attendees heard from Kallie Ruland, WEDC Executive director about WEDC's 2022 accomplishments, which included:
After the groundbreaking in May, Infrastructure including water, sewer, and electricity have been brought to the Industrial Park. Phase I and II of the Industrial Park is set to be completed by the end of the year. We are now focusing on marketing the Industrial Park.
The Wall Industrial Park was awarded South Dakota Governor's Officer of Economic Development Light Industrial Park Certification, the first certified site in Western South Dakota. A South Dakota Certified Site mitigates the risks associated with development by providing detailed information about the site including price and availability, utilities, access, and environmental assessments. Being a part of the SDGOED certified sites also allows us to market our Industrial Park to a larger base.
The completion of the 2022 Housing Study. Earlier this year WEDC was awarded a $2,500 in grant by South Dakota Housing Development Authorities to assist WEDC in covering the costs of the Housing Study. The housing study is a crucial part in moving forward with our communities housing development plans. The housing study is requirement from South Dakota Housing Authority when submitting grant and loan applications. The housing Study has brought to light the critical need for senior housing, rental housing, and single-family Housing Development.
A consultant hired to advise on the development of senior housing in our community. In relation to the updated Housing Study, WEDC along with our Aging in Place committee has worked to address the need for Senior Living in our community. We are taking a three-pronged approach. First, we are working with the Pennington County Housing Authority to restructure Prairie Village to best fit our community's needs. Secondly, we are gathering senior benefit information that is offered in our community as well as social security and Medicare contacts, that will be mailed out to seniors in Wall. The third prong to our approach includes brining at home care to seniors here in Wall.
Attendees also heard from Daniel Ainslie, Sturgis City Manager, about connecting tourism and economic development. Some of the key points from Daniel's presentation included, realistic goal setting, community participation, and reflections of lessons learned. Ainslie stated that when you reside in tourism-based economy, it is crucial to explain the benefits to residents. However, he also mentioned that you cannot forget about the resident's needs, which requires an active government.
The Board of Directors along with WEDC investors elected Dawn Hilgenkamp for her second term and Jackie Heathershaw to replace retiring board member, Steven Edoff. The board elected Dawn Hilgenkamp as the next board President, Kendall Tice as Vice President, and Kalie Kjerstad as Secretary/Treasurer. Mary Williams recognized Steven Edoff with the retiring Board Member Service award.

As the hosts of the event, WEDC would like to thank the participants for taking the time out of their busy schedules and making this event a great success! Thank you to Mama Law Photography for capturing the night!
Cornerstone Caregiving
Cornerstone Caregiving is nationwide Senior In-Home Care Assistance. Cornerstone Caregiving offers services such as medication reminders, bathing assistance, dressing, laundry, light housekeeping, pet care, and exercise to seniors. Cornerstone Caregiving reached out to Randee, which excited her because she knew that this service is exactly what the Black Hills and Badlands areas needed. "I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the elderly," stated Mason and that is why she wants to add value to the clients they serve by allowing them to stay in their homes where they are the most comfortable and happiest. Randee serves as Cornerstone Caregiving's Director of Operations for the Black Hills and now the Badlands area.
Randee and the Wall Economic Development Corporation's Aging in Place committee are teaming up to bring Cornerstone Caregiving to Wall. Randee stated that she is very excited and passionate about bringing these services to Wall. Mason still has family in Wall, and she wants to give back to a community that gave so much to her while growing up. "I can still make an impact in Wall, without living there, by creating jobs and allowing seniors to stay home and not have to move out of the town they have lived in their whole lives," says Mason. This service is to help seniors keep their independence and make sure they don't feel like a burden to others. It's not just serving the elderly; it's also helping relieve the family members that care for them. Randee says that it is her goal to make a positive impact in the lives of seniors. "I just want to see them smile and feel good," says Mason, "Even if we are only with them for two hours a week, seeing a smile on their face makes it all worth it."
Randee does the initial assessment with each client, in order to customize their care plan. "After that first initial visit with each client, I wish I could be the one to take care of them all," says Randee. However, Randee precisely pairs each caregiver with clients based on personality types and needs.
Cornerstone Caregiving offers its services to anyone that is 18 years or older, but the primary focus is the elderly. They also provide 24/7 care to those that need it or short-term care for someone that may be recovering from surgery. Cornerstone Caregiving's office is located at 801 Mt Rushmore Rd, Ste 204, in Rapid City, SD. If you are interested in Cornerstone Caregiving's services please contact Randee Mason, Director of Operations, at (605) 646-2805 or visit their website https://cornerstonecaregiving.com/rapidcity/.

PemmicanHoosh wrote: I must admit, I wasn't being strictly serious. Sure I'd like to hear that stuff but I agree, they are not going to go over old ground again. I do wonder just how thoroughly they went through everything and did they really listen? Perhaps. I think about when Mark Lewishon went through every Beatles' tape as a fan and wrote about it as fully as possible. It certainly fuelled the growing interest in their archive. I don't get that with PF, more a reluctant sort of 'I suppose we ought to do something then' vibe, although I might be being letting my desire cloud my judgement.
I have a lovely book of Leonardo Da Vinci drawings. I'm not sure even the mighty Floyd bear comparison to the great man, but his sketches and scribbles are considered important as works of art in their own right, giving new insights to the familiar and changing the way they are viewed, as well as fleshing out the story of the man himself. Nick Mason also said he was happy to listen to umpteen takes and false starts of his favourite jazz musicians. There is a great demand among true fans of anyone and anything to just have more and I've yet to hear of some artist or musician's work actually losing status from having their sketches and fumblings made available to the public.
I know they don't owe us a thing, I certainly don't feel that, but I do feel that they underestimate the value of 'their stuff'. So I'd take anything they've got to offer, thank you, providing they don't give Storm the job of presenting it, unless he's heavily sedated first.
I think for a long time the members of Pink Floyd had an almost perfectionist opinion, basically:
"Our albums are fine as they are - they're the definitive statement, and we don't want 'work sketches' released", and that was the drill - you'd get remastering after remastering of the officially released albums.
Sadly this refusal to open the vaults even extended to vintage live recordings - and sure there are some where parts of the performance is less than stellar. (Some of Davids singing can be especially dicey) HOWEVER there's plenty of live recordings where the playing and singing are fine AND recording quality is ok - as we all know by the better ROIOs circulating.
Maybe they were just too close to their own work to make an objective assessment? It's good to see them reassess that old policy now, and realise that there is an interest in how that music was sculpted into shape (especially if some interesting ideas were dropped on the official release), and how it developed on the road after the albums were released..
You make a good point about Lewisohn - the Beatles Recording Sessions book marks a real turning point in that band's fanbase.
Ever since then, we've known exactly what was recorded, when, and what tapes exist in the EMI archives.
It's a shame that Pink Floyd haven't had a similar amount of light shed on their sessions (as many artists have had 'studio session' books written since the Beatles) - because even though there's a list of tracks we'd all love to hear, we only know about them in very vague details.
Mind you, future "Why Pink Floyd?" releases may give them the chance to reveal some of those details...

If those rehearsals are in the vaults, then they must have had some reason for choosing the live recordings over the rehearsal - either the rehearsal needed a lot of editing to get it into shape for release, or it didn't have as good a 'feel' as the live version, or something..
Getting it 'in shape' defeats the object of releasing it as bonus material. Ideally it shouldn't matter whether or not it's 'in shape'.
If it's a rehearsal, the quality of performance may vary. It could be complete or extremely fragmented.
If the sound quality is equal, given the choice between a live performance and an unedited rehearsal - I think the live performance would usually get more listens.. especially if the rehearsal tape is repetitive.

The Floyd members have stated that A Man and the Journey Set won't be released since it's similar to the Ummagumma Live album. I'm not really dying for a M&J set, cause I've got the bootleg.
On the other hand, though, I'd like some of their 1970 shows like Interstellar Encore (Fillmore West/East 1970) to be released since it's in pristine quality and is a very good live show of theirs.
Post by wilfsdad » Thu Sep 06, 2012 4:36 pm
man and journey won't ever be released because gilmours vocals are well dodgy, not because it's similar to ummagumma. i personally don't think m&j belongs with AHM either. we could maybe add the 1970 nightride session.

Maybe Pink Floyd can be compared with Kraftwerk, who even omits its first three* albums to be released on CD - remastered or not. What the Immersion brought so far, is just the real famous, rich years of Pink Floyd - as if 'Dark Side of the Moon' is their debut album.
There could be an amazing Immersion of the year 1969 alone, with concepts like 'More', 'Ummagumma' and the 'The Man And The Journey'. Including a great unreleased song like 'Seabirds'. But 1967-1972 were mainly the hippie years. Both Pink Floyd and Kraftwerk were once hippie bands. Since they became more like yuppies, or just rich people, they'd rather seem to forget their hippie years. Maybe this a good example of "hippiecrits". (hypocrits)
(* Four Kraftwerk albums, if 'Tone Float' is counted.)

Wasn't "Atom Heart Mother" a #1 charting album though? It was the first Pink Floyd track I heard on the radio. Yeh...those were the days...a 24 minute song played on FM radio. These days it's all satellite playlists from one or two conglomerates.
I still vote for an immersion set for "Atom Heart Mother"

I agree. I think as I've already said on this forum, it deserves to be an Immersion box for the reason Dave Brock from Hawkwind stopped listening to them! (He didn't explain in the interview, probably something old skool like it got to number one and thus £sell out$)

Whilst AHM may have been a number 1 album at the time it didnt sell in the vast numbers that DSOTM did. Remember this is all about money as far as the record company is concerned. Dont think we actually know how well these previous box sets sold do we?
I must be a reasonably big fan to be on this website but they completely lost me on the project.
I was never gonna buy the DSOTM one as I already have the SACD and the dvd of the making of.
I almost bought the WYWH but managed to get the SACD instead.
The Wall, my favourite album and a certain purchase. Oh, no 5.1 version and no original Wall footage, forget it!!
I would buy Animals if they made a box set as the original cd was such dreadful quality but it all seems unlikey to me 'til they can release it all again on some yet to be invented format in 20 years time!

I'm a bit confused why they chose to become millionaires by in effect going out of their way to create a processed version of their sound for the mass consumer. Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall are contradictions at best. It's not Pink Floyd to my ears. Atom Heart Mother is their last great album. Live at Pompeii is farewell to a once great band.

I mean, personally for me, they went into a decline ever since Saucerful (or More), even on Ummagumma you can see indulgent tracks like Several Species, but on an average I think many agree that The Wall is their last great (notice I said great, not good) album. I think Animals was where we saw their top form last.
Just a reminder for those who don't know, Obscured by Clouds is a really underrated album by PF.

A disgruntled Austinite flew his private plane into a building down the street from where I work today. It happened this morning just before 10 am and within minutes the story began to unfold in real-time on the local then national news stations.
I don't want to downplay what actually happened, but that news has been hashed over a million times already. It's very unfortunate and sad that someone felt so desperate that they thought this was their only choice of action left. Thank goodness that, AFAIK, no one else was killed today.
For me, the most interesting story was the role that social media, in particular twitter, played in getting eye-witness accounts out to the traditional news outlets where it could be reported. The speed at which the information disseminated across the nation was impressive as I watched from the front row.
At just past 10 am this morning my office mate, Chris, rolled in like he had just seen a ghost. With much arm waving, he finally got it out that he had just witnessed a small, single-engine plane fly right over his car and into the building just down the street from ours. He said there was a huge fire-ball almost as wide as the building and he felt the heat from the blast through his air vents.
Like any 20-something software programmer would do, Chris decided to tweet what he had just saw. I retweeted him along with others. Within 30 minutes a local news channel had picked up his tweet and contacted him. A few minutes later his cell phone rang with a reporter grasping for details so they could hastily post this article in The Blotter at statesman.com (the local Austin newspaper) at 12:14pm.
By 12:30pm Chris sent me this link via gChat which contained an entire copy of a homicide letter written by a man named Joe Stack and left on his website, embeddedart.com. I read the whole thing over lunch.
My Google Chrome history page shows that I hit the New York Times at 3:16 pm to read about the national coverage of the story… on the front page only 5 hrs later.
At this point, it gets really interesting. Our office administrator walks into my office looking for Chris. She had CNN on the phone and they were looking for him to possibly do a TV interview and later another phone interview for HNL.
I'm certain that the news organizations pieced all of this together by utilizing twitter and internet search. It's human nature to need to talk about exceptional experiences like the one that occurred this morning. In the age of social media these discussions can be picked up and tracked in real-time in an unprecedented way.
I am awed, if not a little frightened, by the power of what I just witnessed today. We live in a world where information is not only free, but it travels faster than any one person or organization could ever maintain control of… for the good of everyone today. This was an example of the power of social media used in a responsible way along side of traditional news organizations.

Trump argued vigorously in the first debate between himself and presidential hopeful Joe Biden, in fact, it was clear that the president was the only person who showed up for an actual debate.
Chris Wallace was meant to be there to moderate the debate but spent most of his time trying to moderate the president. Wallace deemed Trump's interruptions to be far more egregious than Biden's.
The world media has written the debate off as a "total disaster" and a "national embarrassment." What they expected to witness in the current, divisive cultural climate is anybody's guess, but when one candidate exhibits the enfeebling symptoms of dementia and the other is known for his aggressive, combative style, it was always going to be a rough night for Joe.
As a moderator, Wallace failed spectacularly. He played nurse-maiden to Biden's obvious fragility while simultaneously trying to keep Trump's gladiatorial style in check, which didn't work. This came off as heavily biased in Biden's favour and totally skewed the debate. In essence, it forced Trump to have to debate two people, instead of just one – and no self-respecting alpha male is going to take that partisan carry-on from a beta male referee. Instead, Trump dominated both men to re-balance the show toward some semblance of equity.
A debate is meant to be a battle of ideas. Witty interjections, verbal slams and wordy jousts are properly part of that picture. Telling your opponent to "Shut-up man," as Biden did, is not.
But the bar had been set so low for Biden in deference to his frail condition that Oscar the Grouch would've made a more worthy opponent if allowed out of his trash-can. Wallace kept rescuing him – and that was unconscionable. Biden is competing to become nothing less than the leader of the Free World – if he's not up to it, and he clearly isn't, then Wallace owes the viewers the chance to let that be made obvious in debate, not handle Biden with kid-gloves and openly compete with the president on the Democrats' behalf.
A classic case in point was Wallace's very loaded question to Trump about his administration directing federal agencies to end "racial sensitivity training."
The actual directive is to end the pernicious curriculums in government institutions which teach Critical Race Theory – and those who don't agree with the theory are always slammed as blatant "racists" for the crime of their dissent.
Trump embarked on his answer to Wallace's question and declared that Critical Race Theory is a "radical revolution taking place in our military, in our schools and all over the place." Wallace then interrupted Trump in the middle of his answer, demanding to know "What is radical about racial sensitivity training, sir?" (As if he doesn't know.) Trump continued with his answer and included this point, "We have to go back to our core values. They were teaching people that our country is a horrible place, a racist place and they were teaching people to hate our country."
Biden made a noise indicating that he was about to interrupt, so Wallace gave him the floor. Biden said, "Nobody's doing that – he's the racist!" Smouldering, Trump muttered, "You don't know…" and Wallace then barked at Trump, "Let him finish."
Unbelievable. Wallace should've pulled Biden up on the fact that his comment was a cheap, disgusting, racial slur against the president – exactly the sort of filthy smear that has come to typify Critical Race Theory.
In that one segment of questioning alone, Trump had to give an answer to a dishonestly framed question, then be interrupted by Wallace who starts to debate him, before being smeared as a racist by Biden – and to top it off, the president had to tolerate Wallace demanding that he remain quiet so his opponent could keep smearing him as a racist. Somehow in Wallace's mind, this all passed as good moderation. It wasn't. It was heavily biased nonsense which happened throughout the entire evening.
Early in the debate, not able to cope with Trump's interruptions over the question of would Democrats pack the court (which Biden refused to answer and Wallace didn't press him on), Biden blurted out "Will you shut-up man," then whined that "this was so unpresidential."
Biden went on to call Trump "a clown", "a racist", "the worst president in the history of the country," etc… and at no point did Wallace even attempt to chide Biden for this appalling conduct, yet he constantly rebuked the president for interrupting the Fragile One.
Since May of this year, the terrorist group ANTIFA, along with Black Lives Matter, have burned buildings, police precincts, churches, cars and businesses while physically beating and even killing not only Trump supporters, but also cops and anyone else who happens to get in their way.
Democrat leadership has failed to be vocal in condemning this violence, insisting on their support of "peaceful protests" which they know full well were anything but peaceful.
Understanding all this, Wallace pointed out to the president that he was critical of Biden for not condemning ANTIFA and other left-wing extremist groups, then asked him, "Are you willing to condemn white supremacist and militia groups and say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in these cities as we saw in Kenosha and Portland?"
Trump answered, "Sure I'm willing to do that, but almost everything I see is from the left-wing, not the right-wing…" Wallace interrupted him mid-sentence and began to debate him, again, saying "If you're willing to do it, then do it sir." Trump paused, asking for a specific group's name, so Proud Boys was mentioned. Trump then said, "Sure, Proud Boys, stand back and stand by! But I tell you what, someone has to do something about the Left because this is not a right-wing problem."
Biden interrupted, with Wallace's sanction, and said, "ANTIFA is an idea not an organisation." Trump mocked, "You gotta be kidding! When you're hit in the head with a bat that is not an idea!" Biden continued bleating about what the FBI Director called ANTIFA before Wallace interrupted them both saying, "Gentlemen, we're done sirs, moving on to the next topic."
That was all the time that Wallace allowed for a problem as monumental as the shocking, current mob-violence rampaging through American cities where thousands of people have had their businesses smashed to pieces after barely surviving Covid lockdowns. It is a problem that is going to get much worse after the November election, no matter who wins.
Frankly, if the police can't do their job for fear of retributions in this cop-hating climate, if the National Guard is not called in by Democrat governors, if the military refuses to participate in putting down mob-violence on the left, then armed citizens and groups like Proud Boys may be the only way that innocent citizens can actually be protected. The second amendment still holds. These violent left-wing groups have been wheeling out guillotines at their "peaceful" protests. That should make everybody shudder.
Much more needed to be robustly debated on this topic, but neither Biden, nor Wallace, were up for it.
Trump won that debate, no contest. It was a debate between three men: a passionate and verbally combative president, Oscar the Grouch with dementia and a moderator who was far too biased and out of his depth to moderate a boisterous debate during a time when the most powerful country on Earth is threatening to unravel.
If you enjoyed this article, please buy my book "Western Values Defended: A Primer"
The debate was uncomfortable to watch. I did notice the media frenzy the next day about Trump endorsing "the Proud Boys". Trump said at the time he had never heard of them. Even when we have all heard the conversation the media report something different.
It was "uncomfortable" because Wallace, instead of acting like a man moderating two other men, cast himself in the womanish role of Biden's babysitter. One man arrived for a debate with two other women, one who acted like a wet-nurse.
I'm confused by your misogyny Olivia (hope you know what that word means but you can always try google). You label a man you perceive to be bad at debating as a woman and you also state on your website that some women don't deserve their vote. I'm confused as to why you (a woman) believe anyone should take your writing seriously??

Outside groups pump millions into DeMaio-Peters contest
by Joe Yerardi October 27, 2014 August 11, 2020 Why you can trust inewsource
A television ad attacking Democratic Rep. Scott Peters paid for by the Congressional Leadership Fund, a Republican-allied super PAC. CLF has invested more than $500,000 in the race.
[highlight]On the radio…[/highlight]
"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/174127547″
The past six weeks of campaigning in the white-hot race for the 52nd Congressional District in San Diego County has seen an explosion in negative advertising paid for by outside spending groups not attached to either candidate, according to an inewsource analysis of Federal Election Commission data.
The spending, directed overwhelmingly toward negative advertising, has dwarfed the candidates' own expenditures in recent weeks.
Between Sept. 15 and Oct. 21, these groups have pumped at least $5,388,246 into the race. That's 99 percent of all the money they've spent on the race.
That figure does not include money spent on so-called "issue ads," political advertisements that do not expressly advocate for or against the reelection of a candidate and that do not have to be reported to the FEC.
Such advertisements are favored by politically-active nonprofits because the practice allows them to skirt donor-disclosure requirements.
The contest in the 52nd — a district that runs north from Coronado to La Jolla and then east to include Carmel Valley, Scripps Ranch, Poway and Rancho Bernardo — pits first-term Democratic Rep. Scott Peters against Republican Carl DeMaio, an unsuccessful 2012 mayoral candidate. Both are former San Diego city councilmen.

[box type="shadow"]
Why this matters: The race in the 52nd congressional district is one of the closest in the nation, and outside groups have taken note, spending more than $5.4 million on the race.
1. Outside spending groups have plowed more than $5.4 million into the race, almost all since Sept. 15.
2. Such groups have dropped an average of $146,000 into the race every day between Sept. 15 and Oct. 21.
3. Outside spending totaled nearly two-and-a-half times as much as the candidates' own spending between Sept. 15 and Oct. 15.
4. Nearly all outside spending in the race has been negative.
[/one_half_last]
Peters is considered one of the most endangered incumbents in the country. The race is one of only 12 House races considered a "pure tossup" by the highly-regarded Rothenberg Political Report. The two candidates are in a virtual dead heat, according to a U-T San Diego/10News poll released last week.

A late rush
The crush of outside spending in recent weeks mimics a national pattern in close races, says Bill Allison, editorial director of the Sunlight Foundation, an open government advocacy group that tracks money's influence in politics.
"If there are polls that are coming in late in the race that show there's a chance for one of the two parties to pick up a seat, you will see a flood of last-minute money coming in," Allison said.
The first volley of outside money targeting specific candidates occurred in the weeks preceding the June 3 primary when a coalition of conservative political groups spent $180,000 supporting GOP candidate Kirk Jorgensen in his run against DeMaio. After Jorgensen lost, such groups basically went quiet until Aug. 1.
That's when the National Republican Congressional Committee — a party-run committee whose sole purpose is to support GOP candidates for the House of Representatives — spent $23,375 on survey research and media.
The next expenditure didn't occur until Sept. 15, when the NRCC dropped $422,630 on advertisements and survey research over a two-day period. Days later, the NRCC's Democratic counterpart — the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee — answered, spending $320,000 on ads.
In an email, NRCC spokesman Tyler Houlton wrote that the committee's role in the race was to counteract the spending by Democrat-aligned outside groups.
"We provide logistical and political support and advice to Carl DeMaio, though his campaign is run so well he rarely needs it," Houlton wrote. "The reason we are spending so heavily in California's 52nd Congressional District is to keep up with the DCCC and Nancy Pelosi's House Majority PAC."
House Majority PAC is a liberal super PAC with the stated goal of retaking the House of Representatives for the Democratic Party.
A spokesman for the DCCC declined to answer any specific questions about the committee's role in the race.
Since the cash spigot busted open in mid-September, it's never stopped.
Outside spending groups have dropped an average of $146,000 every day between Sept. 15 and Oct. 21.
Overwhelmingly negative
Spending by outside groups has been — for the most part — a drumbeat of negativity.
Through Oct. 21, outside groups have spent a total of $5,411,653 on expenses such as mailers, Internet and television ads and survey research.
According to the FEC data, 90 percent of all expenditures in the race have gone to oppose a candidate.
Carl Luna, a professor of politics at San Diego Mesa College, sees two reasons for the strategy.
"The candidates' campaigns like to run the positive ads talking about their candidate's background because they know their candidate best, and also it makes their candidate look like they're taking the high road," Luna said. "The negative ads can be run by the outside groups so that doesn't throw dirt on their own candidate for being too negative, but also these outside groups really don't know the candidates in the district."
The outside spending group with the largest footprint in the race is the NRCC. The committee has spent $2,228,967 on the race, with 82 percent identified as opposing Peters.
In an email, Houlton, the group's spokesman, defended the committee's four-to-one ratio of negative to positive spending.
"It's up to the voter to decide whether or not they view Scott Peters in a negative light," Houlton wrote. "We've found from experience that highlighting Democrat's voting records is an effective and fair way to communicate with voters."
Not to be outdone in the negative advertising race, the DCCC — number two on the list of biggest outside spenders in the race — has poured $1,740,563 into the contest, all negative. The group hasn't run any ads that focus on supporting Peters.
And it's not just the party committees that are spending big on the race.
The Congressional Leadership Fund — a Republican-allied super PAC — has made the third-largest investment in the race, spending at least $512,798 on a television and web ad campaign that began earlier this month.
Emily Davis, a spokeswoman for the Congressional Leadership Fund, declined to comment for this story but in a previous interview had said the group saw an opportunity to make a difference in a close contest.
"Carl DeMaio has already proven that he is a strong candidate with his primary election results, in his strong fundraising, strong messaging and strong grassroots game and we believe that Carl DeMaio is well-positioned to compete and win this November," Davis said.
The Sunlight Foundation's Allison says the negative tone of the ads can be attributed partly to the timing in the campaign cycle. The overwhelming majority of ads funded by outside groups come late in the campaign when the public already has a clear idea of who the candidates are. All that's left is to convince voters that one candidate is worse than the other.
"You're not trying to boost name recognition for your candidate — the one you're supporting," Allison said. "You're really trying to tear down the opponent, and we see that in race after race."
Exceeding campaigns' spending
Unlike outside spending groups, the candidates' campaigns don't have to report expenditures every day as they are made. The latest spending figures for DeMaio and Peters come from a series of campaign finance reports that cover the period from July 1 through Oct. 15. Those reports show that the campaigns spent a combined $4,198,458 during that period, excluding refunds of contributions and loan repayments.
Over the same period, outside spending groups spent $4,476,299 on the race.

And unlike the spending totals for outside groups, the campaign figure includes all operating expenditures by the candidates — everything from food for volunteer phone bankers to payroll for campaign staff. The independent expenditures launched by outside spending groups are almost exclusively for costs related to advertising — things like ad production, purchases of television time, polling and postage for mailers.
And if one looks only at expenditures between Sept. 15, the date outside spending began in earnest, and Oct. 15, the closing date of candidates' most recent reporting period, outside groups spent nearly two-and-a-half times as much as the candidates' own campaigns — $4,452,892 to $1,857,281.
The Sunlight Foundation's Allison says the phenomenon of outside groups outspending candidates is common in competitive House races. One reason is that FEC regulations require television stations to offer candidates the lowest possible rate for their ads. Stations are under no such obligation when outside groups come looking for air time, so they've got to spend more money to air the same number of ads as candidates.
Not that raising the required sums is particularly difficult for super PACs that — unlike candidate campaign committees — are allowed to accepted unlimited contributions from individuals, corporations, unions and almost any other source.
And campaigns spend money on everything from food for volunteer phone bankers to get-out-the-vote efforts. Not so with the outside groups.
"These groups — these super PACs — are basically commercial machines," Allison said. "All they do is come in and buy air time and they can swamp the message of a candidate because that's all they're [doing]."
Luna, the Mesa College politics professor and a longtime observer of the region's politics, said he's never seen anything locally like the outside spending in the 52nd District.
"There really is no precedent for this much money coming into any race in San Diego from outside in such volume," Luna said.

This is at the heart of why this country is going to Hell in a hand basket. The money – and especially PROFIT – need to be taken out of the process of getting elected. It has been proven through scholarly research that we now live under a corporate oligarchy, and this despicable "race" is the quintessential example. The "winner" – I put the word in quotes because they're both losers at this point – will have been bought and paid for by the rich special interests behind these PAC's and Super-PAC's that are running these trashy ad campaigns.
It's up to us to do something about it. We have to come together and put a stop to this corruption. We have to eschew the two-party propaganda and think for ourselves.

Great article…lots of good info. Point well made on massive campaign spending. But, ….question:
Why the two "free anti-Peterson" ads in the article? Or, is VOSD being paid to use them? Wouldn't this article have been more balanced using ads from both candidates?
Justin Smith says:
Honest question: how is self administered thinking in any way prevented by advertising, political or otherwise? Asked a different way, Aren't we capable of thinking for ourselves regardless of how much anyone else spends on ads?
1Tanstaafl says:
If you want to shrink campaign spending, then shrink government's power over individual persons and businesses.
It is only rational to try to influence those with power over you.
Reduce the size and pervasiveness of govt and contributions will be reduced.
Until then, as govt grows so will the rational need to obtain influence.
This is not a particularly happy circumstance, but it is a rational response to govt growth and power.

I have a question for Mr. Yerardi re: this well-researched (and frankly appalling) report. I hope it's not too off-topic.
You stated: "That figure does not include money spent on so-called "issue ads," political advertisements that do not expressly advocate for or against the reelection of a candidate and that do not have to be reported to the FEC."
It's my understanding that SB 27 (passed in May) requires the disclosure of non-profit donors in CA (though not on the ads themselves), and one of the many political advocacy emails I receive stated that the new rules were in effect for this election. Is this the case?

Joe Yerardi says:
Thanks for the kind words about the story. SB27 only applies to groups that spend money on state elections (e.g., governor, attorney general, state assembly, etc.) and so groups that spend money on federal elections like that for the 52nd Congressional District don't have to disclose anything.
-Joe Yerardi
Oh! Thank you so much for clarifying that. So it would apply to state propositions as well, but not to any federal election. Got it.
