Tonight, GOP front-runner Donald Trump took his anti-establishment message to a room of roughly 12,000 supporters (with 3,000 supporters outside) in Baton Rouge, La. making it the largest event ever at the state capital's River Center.
The Hayride's Kevin Boyd attended the event and said that compared to Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) event last month in Baton Rouge, Trump's event had more women and young people attending. The Trump rally was so well-attended, it surpassed Elton John's 8,000 crowd record at the Baton Rouge River Center.
The event was so packed, that it was delayed by more than 30 minutes so that supporters (who were wrapped around the venue) could make it inside to see Trump.

Q: Call static method to get absolute URL of SharePoint 2010 document I'm attempting to retrieve the URL of the current document in a SharePoint 2010 document library so it can be added to an email in a SharePoint 2010 workflow.
Currently, I have the following code in a Utilities.cs file:
namespace WorkflowProject1.Workflow1
{
    public static class Utilities
    {
        public static string AbsoluteUrl(this SPFile File)
        {
            string EncodedUrl = File.Item[SPBuiltInFieldId.EncodedAbsUrl].ToString();
            string DecodedURL = SPEncode.UrlDecodeAsUrl(EncodedUrl);
            return DecodedURL;

        }

    }
}

In my workflow file (Workflow1.cs) with the same namespace I am trying to call the above method using the following line:
Item.File.AbsoluteUrl();
When I attempt to call the method I get "the name Item does not exist in the current context". Am I missing a reference? Any suggestions on how to retrieve  the DecodedURL value so I can use it in my main workflow file would be greatly appreciated. Also, most of this code was copied from another post but I do not have enough points to comment on the original post.

A: Since (based on this method) you already have retrieved the correct SPFile object you should be able to refer to the url property.
See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spfile.url(v=office.14).aspx
If you would like the absolute URL you can use the field EncodedAbsUrl on the SPFile (this also works with SPListItems):
Usage (assuming your SPFile object is called file):
string absoluteUrl = (string) file.Item[SPBuiltInFieldId.EncodedAbsUrl];

Documentation: https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/LIBRary/microsoft.sharepoint.spbuiltinfieldid.encodedabsurl.aspx

Ticket to Write: History of Boulder City lives on
Steve Stephens More Content Now
BOULDER CITY, Nevada — The workers who built the mighty Hoover Dam needed a place to live. And so Boulder City was born.
The dam was finished more than 80 years ago, but the pretty town lives on, retaining more than a few reminders of its historic past.
The town was built beginning in 1931 to house the workers building the dam. The planned community offered lots of open, public spaces that remain to this day.
Of course, the federal government and its contractors didn't want workers playing around, so gambling was banned. Boulder City remains the only major city in Nevada that prohibits gambling. (For those who just can't help themselves, two casinos are located just outside the city limits.)
Alcohol, too, was once prohibited. That restriction was repealed many decades ago, a very fortunate thing for visitors who find themselves sampling the fare at the Boulder Dam Brewing Co. The brew pub, in the historic Old Town district, is decorated with equipment used in the dam's construction and with art reflecting local history. And many folks drive all the way from Las Vegas to enjoy the award-winning beer.
Several historic buildings dating back to the dam-building days remain in the quaint Old Town district, including many government buildings and the 1933 Boulder Theater, operated today as a live performing-arts center owned by Desi Arnaz Jr.
Visitors seeking accommodations can still stay at the historic Boulder Dam Hotel, welcoming guests since 1933. The Dutch-colonial building looks a bit out of place among all the Southwestern-style buildings in Boulder City. But it's beautiful, nonetheless, and also houses a small museum that's free to guests.
Visitors will also find many interesting shops in the Old Town district, including the Flying Saucer (Area 52), an alien-themed souvenir store that claims the "largest selection of extraterrestrial items in the state of Nevada."
As someone who's been to Vegas, I can tell you that that's saying a lot.
For more information about exploring Boulder City, call 1-877-847-4858 or visit visitbouldercity.com.

Paradise Lake:There is a bit of cross-country involved in this hike, but the main trailhead is easy to find, and if you are a bit adventurous you can make a nice 2-3 day trip exploring this area just to the North of I-80. It's a total of 6-7 miles to the lake from the trailhead.
Loch Leven Lakes: There are three Loch Leven Lakes (and since "loch" means lake, there's an extra lake in the name, too!) 3.5 miles of pretty much uphill climbing takes you right out of the I-80 pass and over the ridge to these three lovely lakes. There's a odd stretch where you cross the railway tracks, but there are fish in the lakes and some nice views to the west as well. This one is also possible as a snow camping trip in the winter--or as a day hike if you don't have time to stay.
Five Lakes Basin: Straight out of Squaw Valley, this trail gets a ton of traffic, but we spent a lovely day hiking up to these lakes, catching a few trout, eating lunch, and heading back home again. An easy four-mile hike with about 1000 feet of elevation gain means there are lots of people--but there are also five lakes to hide in. Also very possible as a day hike as it's only about 3 miles to the first lake.
Grouse Ridge: Off Highway 20 just west of where it meets I-80, this is a great trailhead with a ton of lakes as potential destinations. And the best part of this hike is that the first two miles is downhill. The only real uphill is on the way back out, when your packs are much lighter! From the Grouse Ridge campground and fire lookout, you can select which lake you'd like to visit. Then hike down to the lakes, keeping your eye out for good campsites. This can be as short as a two or three-mile hike for an overnight, or you can visit a few lakes over the course of a few days. Glacier Lake, at the eastern end, is lovely, but there are plenty more to choose from. And fishing is quite good in this area, for rainbows and browns.
Mt Judah:This trail leads straight out of the Sugar Bowl Ski Area parking lot, and in about 4 miles takes you up to the top of Mt. Judah, overlooking Donner Lake and the Crystal Range to the south. Mt. Judah is about 8200 feet, and you can continue on this hike to bag a couple more peaks, if that is what gets you excited.
Castle Peak: Our favorite day hike in this area takes you to a grand view overlooking Donner Pass and the whole northern Tahoe region. The trail is pretty straightforward--you head northwest from the trailhead to the top of the ridge, then turn northeast to climb up the ridge up to the peak. The last little bit requires some scrambling, but only if you insist upon standing on the very top. We did, and it seemed worth it.
Andesite Peak: this is the smaller peak just southwest from Castle Peak--and you climb it by ascending to the same ridge, then heading southeast (head left) to the top of Andesite Peak. We did it in May, when it was too snowy to get to Castle Peak, and had a great time. The photo at the top of this page is Castle Peak from Andesite Peak, in winter.


I mentioned in a post two weeks ago that I was busy making Rice Krispie treats for my son's school's bake sale. I finished them and was very proud of the final outcome. I doubled the recipe and cut them into little rectangles, stuck in a Popsicle stick and then dipped them in chocolate. So cute.
Here comes the chocolate. School color, no less. I just melted a bag of red candy melts to come up with this smooth, melted goodness.
One by one, they each got dipped half-way and set on wax paper.
See how bright the red looks.
I let them dry like this for about 20 minutes. The chocolate was dry to the touch.
Next were the cute little bags with twist ties. Each treat got his own baggie.
Aren't they cute? At this point I'm thinking they are worth $2.00 each. I lower my standards and think $1.00. Yes, $1.00 each, but I am not pricing them. The bake sale ladies are pricing the goods. I'll have to wait until I get to the fall festival to see how much they ask.
It's afternoon and I'm at the bake sale and head over to see how much my beauties are selling for. 25 cents! Twenty-five rotten cents. I can't believe it. Not only that, they are, I think, the cheapest treat on the entire bake sale table!
Brownies, plain brownies are going for over $1.00. Little pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate are more. I don't even think anything else is 50 cents.
They are still super cute and people are buying and eating them. Kids were choosing them (because of the lollipop sticks) so all was good in my life again.
Yeah, that's what I'll do. I'll add stickers and make them irresistible.
I think I'll have to get some Princess and Lightening McQueen stickers to seal the deal.
This batch with the stickers are the ones that I saved for my son's birthday party to use as the goodie bag item. After my astonishment about the sticker price (ha!) at the bake sale, I found these stickers lying around and decided to add them at the last minute. They really spice the treats up and push them over the top.
Cut them into small squares. I even trimmed them once they were cut so that the top was flat.
Put stick in them after they are hard (I'd use some chocolate on the end so the sticks won't fall out. Mine came out once you started eating them.
Melt the candy melts in the microwave in intervals of 30 seconds. Don't over microwave. Dip the treat into the bowl of chocolate. I had to use a spoon to get some of the chocolate onto the treats.
Set them down on the wax paper to harden.
Wrap in small candy/cellophane bags.
Don't forget to add the stickers!
Great job! They look very professional.
What an amazing idea! These look great!
I'm making these to take to the fourth of july party!! the kids will love these!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
I wouldn't have paid $1.oo for a brownie but I would have for your treats. They look so cute and look like they took time to make! Thanks for sharing your idea.
Thanks ladies for the wonderful comments. Glad they can be an inspiration.
Hello! I would really like to make these for baby shower favors! I was wondering if you knew how far in advance you could make these!? I would store them in air tight containers. Any suggestions would be awesome!
They are adorable. Great Idea! Yes, I would think, depending on size, 50 cents. I am going to make these for our Fund raiser and add the color orange since it is a fall craft bake sale. Thanks.
So glad you're going to try them. I hope everyone loves them at the bake sale.

Graveyard Keeper Tips & Tricks: 6 Ways to Up Your Corpse Disposal Game
Managing a medieval graveyard is hard work, especially when there's so many other things to do as well. Here's how you can ahead in Graveyard Keeper.
Graveyard Keeper has charmed our hearts, and then extracted them (along with our skulls, skins, bones, and flesh). There's a lot to do in this Stardew Valley-like, so here's a bunch of tips to help you get off the ground running.
You can replace broken grave decorations instead of repairing them
Early on in the game, your graveyard will have several graves in poor condition. To repair these, you can use wood or stone repair kits. If you run out of these initial repair kits, however, it will likely be a while before you can craft them.
To get your graveyard rating up, a smart idea is to just replace the broken grave decorations entirely. You can do this by removing the headstone or fence, then applying a fresh new one.
Prioritise wood, stone, and metal production early on
Almost all the important things you need to build in the game require wood, stone, and/or metal parts. These can be produced in your workyard. Consequently, you should try and expand your workyard as soon as you can, to house all your production tools.
For producing wood parts, you will require:
Sawhorse: to cut down large logs into smaller pieces
Chopping spot: to turn wood billets into firewood or wedges
Carpenter's workbench: to create wood parts like planks, grave decorations and repair kits
There are more tools later in the game, such as the circular saw, for instance, but these are the most important early on.
For producing stone parts, you will require a stone cutter, which can be used to break down large pieces of stone into smaller ones. Smaller pieces of stone can further be cut into grave decorations and repair kits.
For producing metal parts, you will require:
Furnace: to turn ore into ingots (using fuel)
Anvil or wooden anvil: to turn ingots into metal parts
These can be upgraded later in the game, but these are most important early on.
You can buy stuff you that you can't produce (yet)
Money is scarce in Graveyard Keeper, and you need to work for every coin. That said, if you don't have an item you need, you should be able to buy it from the Village.
You can also sell produced items, but only to the appropriate buyer. Metal parts will be bought by the smith, for example, while wooden parts will be bought by the carpenter.
Whenever possible, though, you should work out a way to produce things on your own. Being self-sufficient is a huge help in Graveyard Keeper, as then you will be able to save your money for what really matters.
Put items in their relevant trunks
While you can put any item in any trunk, it is smarter to put items in trunks according to their use. For example, you should put wood, stone, and metal objects in the workyard trunk(s). Seeds should go into the garden trunk. Grave decorations should go in the graveyard trunk, etc.
Apart from keeping things organised, this actually aids your gameplay. When crafting items, the game will automatically count items stored in the related trunk.
For example, if you want to plant seeds in the garden, you don't need to have them on you. They can be stored in the garden trunk, and the game will let you plant them as if you have them in your inventory.
There's a shortcut to the village (and you can teleport, too)
Getting to and coming back from the village takes a lot of time. Not only can this be inconvenient, but it gets boring, too. You can speed up the process by using the underground shortcut, which is located in the tunnels below your home.
You will need to first clear the path and access the area where Snake is. After that, it's simply a matter of following the path going right, the one that Snake actually enters the tunnels from. If you follow it all the way to the end, you will end up in the village.
Alternately, you can buy a teleport stone from the tavern keeper. This lets you teleport between from anywhere to your house, or to the tavern. Very handy, but it has a cooldown that takes a while.
Cremate the bodies you don't want to bury (don't toss 'em in the river)
Although there are no penalties for throwing a body in the river, it is a better idea to cremate it. Doing so will earn you a burial certificate (I'm not sure why), as well as some ash. Ash can be used to make ceramic funeral urns, black paint, or flavor enhancers.
To cremate a body, you will require the Cremation technology, found in the Theology branch. You can then build a "Place for burning corpses" and light 'em up. It takes a while for the corpse to burn, so go do something else, or sleep. When you're back, there will be a fresh and crisp burial certificate waiting for you.
For more information on Graveyard Keeper, be sure to follow our ongoing coverage of the game, including a review, which will up soon. You can also find out more at the official website.

For several weeks, Cathy Galati noticed her husband, Leo, was not acting like himself. She wondered why her healthy, usually active 55-year-old spouse seemed to be "moping around." He fell asleep as soon as he sat in a chair. Cathy didn't know it, but Leo was also struggling at his job.
Weeks later, on a Monday afternoon, Cathy noticed Leo's mouth drooping on one side. Worried her husband was having a stroke, she insisted he go to the local emergency room. Doctors there gave the couple shocking news: Leo had brain cancer.
A family friend, who is a physician, recommended Leo transfer his care to the brain tumor experts at the University of Chicago Medicine. By the time Leo arrived at the medical center a few days later, results of his MRI scans had been evaluated at a neuro-oncology Tumor Board meeting.
These regular meetings bring together UChicago Medicine experts to discuss cases, share viewpoints and determine treatment plans. This multidisciplinary approach is especially valuable when the condition is complex, rare, or difficult to diagnose.
"I was tired and confused, and I couldn't complete my projects at work."
The neuroscientists suspected the cancer in Leo's brain was primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), a rare type of tumor that occurs when malignant lymphocytes are found in the brain, spinal cord or cerebrospinal fluid.
To confirm the diagnosis, neurosurgeon Peter Warnke, MD, performed a serial stereotactic biopsy. This surgical technique uses fine micro forceps to take samples of abnormal tissue along a tract with millimetric precision. It can be done in any region of the brain, even the most sensitive areas. Warnke says the technique leads to a definitive diagnosis 97 percent of the time.
The tissue was examined simultaneously — by a neuropathologist looking through a microscope in a nearby lab and the entire surgical team viewing the same image on large high-definition video screens in the operating room. The group concurred on a preliminary diagnosis of PCNSL.
During the same procedure, Warnke implanted a titanium marker at the exact spot where he took the biopsy samples. "These markers enable us to review the precise site of a tumor in follow-up neuro-imaging tests during and after treatment," Warnke said, noting the permanent marker is compatible with both CT and MRI imaging technology.
Just a week later, Leo started chemotherapy under the care of hematologist/oncologist Justin Kline, MD. Kline also had presented Leo's case to an expert panel of physicians at the medical center — this time the Lymphoma Group, a weekly conference that brings together specialists in lymphoma to review cases and weigh the pros and cons of different therapies.
Throughout the treatment, Cathy said her husband remained positive and as active as possible. A few weeks into his treatment, Leo attended their oldest son Sal's wedding; a few months later, his family went on vacation to Florida.
A follow-up scan less than a year after diagnosis showed no signs of lymphoma. Today, Leo takes bike rides, works in the yard and does small carpentry projects around the house.
The University of Chicago Brain Tumor Center is at the forefront of sophisticated care for primary and metastatic tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), including brain and spinal cord tumors.
Justin Kline, MD, is a hematologist/oncologist who specializes in treating leukemia and lymphoma. He has a special interest in stem cell transplantation and is conducting research into overcoming the barriers to immune resistance mechanisms in tumors.

2018-2019 NJCAA STATISTICS
VOLLEYBALL CAMP
2019: Cavins Raises Expectations
Andy Cavins, the all-time winningest volleyball coach at Lindsey Wilson College (LWC), produced an .877 winning percentage (272-38) during his eight-year stay at the Columbia, Ky., school. He led the Blue Raiders to eight consecutive NAIA National Tournament appearances, including a national title in 2017, two NAIA Fab Fours and four straight national quarterfinal appearances.
He guided LWC to eight straight 30-win seasons, including a 33-4 mark in 2018. His 2017 national champions posted a 35-0 record and dropped only five sets during the season. In 2015, Blue Raiders won a program record 37 matches. Before his arrival, LWC had one 30-win season (1999).
Cavins recruited and coached one NAIA National Player of the Year, 13 NAIA All-Americans, nine honorable mention all-Americans, seven Mid-South Conference Players of the Year, seven MSC Freshmen of the Year, and 45 All Mid-South Conference performers. Off the court, Lindsey Wilson volleyball has earned seven straight NAIA Scholar Team honors with an eighth most likely coming at the end of the academic year. During his time at Lindsey Wilson, 24 student-athletes earned NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors while 78 picked up Academic All Mid-South Conference accolades.
The NAIA National Tournament Coach of the Year in 2017 was voted by his peers three times as the Mid-South Conference Coach of the Year.
Cavins and his wife, Jessica, have one son, Kellar.

We analyse the magnitude and the causes of the low formal employment rate of the Roma in Hungary between 1993 and 2007. The employment rate of the Roma dropped dramatically around 1990. The ethnic employment gap has been around 40 percentage points for both men and women and has remained remarkably stable. Differences in education are the most important factor behind the gap, the number of children is important for female employment and geographic differences play little role once education is controlled for. Conditional on employment, the gap in log earnings is 0.3, and half of it is explained by educational differences.
Kézdi G, Kertesi G. Roma employment in Hungary after the post-communist transition.. 2009:38 pp.
We analyze the extent and some causes of the low formal employment rate of the Roma in Hungary, using the most reliable survey data. Roma employment dropped dramatically in the first years of the post-communist transition, widened further a little afterwards, and it stayed largely unaffected by macroeconomic conditions after the transition. The absolute employment gap is roughly the same for men and women, more than third of the gap is explained by lower education of the Roma, and geographic location, while different from non-Romanies, explains little once education is controlled for. We also show indirect evidence for labor market discrimination.

Kézdi G, Cseres-Gergely Z. Why are extraverted young men less likely to receive higher education? Evidence from Hungary.; 2008.
Using a unique longitudinal survey from Budapest, Hungary, this paper analyzes the role of extraversion in studying towards higher education and working. Extraversion is found to have no effect on higher education for young women but a significant negative effect for young men. Results from a more structural model suggest that, conditional on IQ and various measures of other personality traits, as well as past schooling experience and past behavioral problems, more extraverted men expect lower returns to higher education. These results are new in the literature and are unlikely to be caused by the specificity of the survey.

Kertesi G, Kézdi G. Children of the post-communist transition: Age at the time of the parents' job loss and dropping out of secondary school. B E Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy. 2007;7(2):1-25.
Using data on children whose parents lost their jobs during the post-communist transition of Hungary, we address the causal effect of unexpected long-term unemployment of parents on their children's educational achievement. We estimate the effect of the children's age at the time of their parents' job loss on their probability of dropping out of secondary school (an event that follows the parents' job loss by many years). The treatment is an additional year reared in a family with regularly employed parents, which can be interpreted as additional human capital investment. We provide bounding estimates to the causal effect. The estimated bounds are tight, they show a substantial effect, and the effect is significantly stronger for preschool age children than for older ones.

Kertesi G, Kézdi G. Roma children in the transformational recession – Widening ethnic schooling gap and Roma poverty in post-communist Hungary. Budapest, Hungary: MTA Közgazdaságtudományi Intézet; 2005.
The Roma or "Gypsies" are Europe's largest and poorest ethnic minority. Nearly 80 per cent of them live in the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The Roma – Non-Roma educational gap, always substantial but slowly closing in the communist years, widened again after the collapse of the communist system in Hungary. Using Hungarian Roma data from the mid-1990's and a comparable national sample, we estimate multinomial probability models for dropping out after primary school (8th grade), continuing in vocational training school, or continuing in a secondary school with a maturity examination (necessary for college entrance). Our results indicate that long-term poverty of the Roma is strongly associated with their high drop-out rate after 8th grade. Roma poverty has increased considerably with the massive layoffs of unskilled workers since the mid-1980's. We find that the younger a child is when his/her father is laid off the more likely he/she is to discontinue schooling after 8th grade. We conclude that the collapse of Roma employment has been in part responsible for the widening ethnic gap in education. Equal opportunities for the next Roma generation are therefore jeopardized unless policy helps overcoming the adverse effects of long-term poverty on schooling outcomes.

Bound J, Groen J, Kézdi G, Turner S. Trade in university training: cross-state variation in the production and stock of college-educated labor. Journal of Econometrics. 2004;121(1-2):143-73.
The question of this analysis is how the production of college graduates at the state level affects the stock of college-educated workers in the state. The potential mobility of skilled workers implies that the number of college students graduating in an area need not affect the number of college graduates living in the area. However, the production of relatively large numbers of college graduates in a state may lead to increases in the employment of university-trained manpower if industries expand production of goods and services that use college-educated workers intensively. We find at best only a modest link between the production and stock of baccalaureate degree recipients. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Sevak P, Kézdi G. Economic adjustment of recent retirees to adverse wealth shocks. Ann Arbor, MI: University of Michigan,; 2004.
Since the mid-nineties, the stock market has had an unprecedented impact on the wealth of current and future retirees. Using data from the Current Population Survey and the Health and Retirement Study, this report estimates consumption and labor supply responses of individuals in their 50s and 60s to the recent stock market downturn. We estimate an elasticity of consumption with respect to wealth changes ranging from five to seven percent. This implies that households respond to a decline in wealth by reducing their consumption by 5 to 7 percent of the wealth decline. For example, if a household's wealth declined by $100,000, this estimate suggests they would reduce their annual consumption by $5,000 to $7,000. Among retirees, we do not observe any re-entry into the labor force in response to wealth losses due to stock market declines. This suggests that retirement is more or less an absorbing state, for either supply or demand reasons: once an individual retires, it is very difficult to become employed once again.
Kézdi G. Robust standard error estimation in fixed-effects panel models.; 2003.
This paper focuses on standard error estimation in FE models if there is serial correlation in the error process. Applied researchers have often ignored the problem, probably because major statistical packages do not estimate robust standard errors in FE models. Not surprisingly, this can lead to severe bias in the standard error estimates, both in hypothetical and real-life situations. The paper gives a systematic overview of the differnt standard error estimators and the assumptions under which they are consistent (in the usual large N, small T asymptotics). One of the possible reasons why the robust estimators are not used often is a fear of their bad finite sample properties. The most important results of the paper, based on an extensive Monte Carlo study, show that those fears are in general unwarranted. I also present evidence that it is the abolute size of the cross-sectional sample that primarily affects the finite-sample behavior, not the relaitve size compared to the time-series dimension. That indicates good small-sample behavior even when N ≈ T. I introduce a simple direct test analogous to that of White (1980) for the restrictive assumptions behind the estimators. Its finite sample properties are fine except for low power in very small samples.
Kézdi G, Willis RJ. Who becomes A stockholder? Expectations, subjective uncertainty, and asset allocation. Ann Arbor, MI: University of Michigan,; 2003.
We develop a model of portfolio selection with subjective uncertainty and learning in order to explain why some people hold stocks while others don't. We model heterogeneity in information directly, which is an alternative to the existing explanations that emphasized heterogeneity in transaction costs of investment. We plan to calibrate the model to survey data (when available) on people's perception about the distribution of stock market returns. Our approach also leads to a model of learning with new implications such as zero optimal risky assets, or ex post correlation of uncorrelated labor income and optimal portfolio composition. It also points to two factors in probabilistic thinking that should have a major impact on stock ownership. These are the level and the precision of expectations. We construct proxy measures for the two parameters from the 1992-2000 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). We use a large battery of the subjective probability questions administered in each wave of HRS to construct an overall "index of optimism" (the correlated factor between all subjective probabilities) and "index of precision" (the fraction of nonfocal probability answers, following Lillard and Willis, 2001). We also construct measures for how people forecast the weather, their cognitive capacity, wealth, and basic demographics. Our results indicate that stock ownership and the probability of becoming a stockholder are strongly positively correlated with the indices of the level and precision of expectations. Interpretation of the former is quite challenging and further research is needed to understand its full content.

Kézdi G. Two phases of labor market transition in Hungary: inter-sectoral reallocation and skill-biased technological change. Budapest, Hungary: MTA Közgazdaságtudományi Intézet; 2002.
Hungary has been a front-runner in the transition to capitalism. It has also experienced exceptionally radical changes in employment and relative wages. One main feature of these changes is an enormous increase in the returns to skill. This paper argues that it is instructive to divide the process into two periods, divided by around the year 1995. The first period experienced major destruction of low-skilled jobs and large inter-sectoral reallocation, partly toward skill-intensive industries. Employment started to rebound in the second period, which has also seen a pervasive skill upgrade in all sectors. The skill premium in earnings started to grow even faster in the second stage because increasing demand for skill met a more and more inelastic supply in the short run. Long-run supply effects have been, however, strong as college enrollment rates soared. Introduction of new (foreign) capital seems to be a major factor behind increasing demand for skill. Foreign direct investment into Hungary was by far the largest among the transition countries until the late 1990's, but other Central-Eastern European countries started to catch up since. This suggests that the Hungarian experience might be helpful to predict labor market trends in other transition economies, especially those that attract significant foreign capital.

Designing heterogeneous distributed systems requires of the use of tools that facilitate the deployment and the interaction between platforms. In this paper we propose using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and REpresentational State Transfer (REST), two main approaches for creating applications based on distributed services, for distributed computation. Our aim is to demonstrate how they could be used to develop evolution- ary computation systems on heterogeneous platforms, taking advantage of their ability to deal with heterogeneous infrastructures and environments, and giving support for parallel implementations with a high platform flexibility. Both approaches are different and present some advantages and disadvantages for interfacing to web services: SOAP is conceptually more difficult (has a steeper learning curve) and more "heavy-weight" than REST, although it lacks of standards support for security. The results obtained on different experiments have shown that both SOAP and REST can be used as communication protocol for distributed evolutionary computation. Results obtained are comparable, however for large amounts of data (big messages), REST communications take longer than SOAP communications.

Morgan & Shawntel's Wedding
This country wedding was way too adorable. From the twin flower girls in fluffy tutu's to the brides timeless lace detailed gown, to the way the bride and groom couldn't contain their smiles when they were around each other. They met in college, became workout partners and quickly best friends. Morgan started out seeing Shawntel as a little sis, but as time continued he couldn't take it anymore and asked her out on a date. Shawntel said she knew that Morgan really liked her when she got chocolate all over his trucks new seats and he told her it was ok even though she knew he was furious. She knew he didn't just like her but really loved her after she accidentally played bumper cars with his beloved truck and he still continued to date her ; ) You could tell by their charming vows, and their sweet interactions how much they push each other to be better, they just bring out the very best in each other. Here's a snippet of their love story:

This leaflet answers some common questions about Lopresor.
All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you taking Lopresor against the benefits they expect it will have for you.
There are usually no symptoms of hypertension. The only way of knowing that you have it is to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. You may feel fine and have no symptoms but, if high blood pressure is not treated, it can lead to serious health problems. Lopresor helps to lower your blood pressure.
Angina is a pain or uncomfortable feeling in the chest, often spreading to the arms or neck and sometimes to the shoulders and back. This may be caused by too little blood and oxygen getting to the heart. The pain of angina is usually brought on by exercise or stress but it can also happen while you are resting. Lopresor helps to prevent angina from happening. It is not used to treat a sudden attack.
After a heart attack there is a chance of developing complications such as an irregular heart beat (also called an arrhythmia) or another heart attack. Lopresor helps to prevent these conditions from happening.
Lopresor belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. It works by affecting the body's response to some nerve impulses, especially in the heart. As a result, it decreases the heart's need for blood and oxygen and reduces the amount of work that the heart has to do. It also widens the blood vessels in the rest of the body.
Lopresor can be used alone or in combination with other medicines to treat your condition.
Lopressor is not recommended for use in children.
Lopresor is only available with a doctor's prescription.
Do not take Lopresor after the expiry date printed on the pack or if the packaging is torn or shows signs of tampering.
There is not enough information on its use in children.
Lopresor should not be used throughout pregnancy, especially during the first 3 months of pregnancy, unless clearly necessary. Lopresor may affect your baby, especially if you take it in the last few days before your baby is born. Your doctor can discuss the risks and benefits of taking this medicine during pregnancy.
Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding or intend to breast-feed.
The active ingredient in Lopresor passes into breast milk and there is a possibility that your baby could be affected.
If you have not told your doctor about any of these things, tell him/her before you take Lopresor.
Your doctor and pharmacist have more information on medicines to be careful with or avoid while taking Lopresor.
Follow the directions given to you by your doctor and pharmacist carefully.
Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water or other liquid. It does not matter if you take Lopresor before or after food.
Continue taking Lopresor for as long as your doctor tells you to. Lopresor helps to control your symptoms but it does not cure your condition. Your doctor will check your progress to make sure the medicine is working and will decide how long your treatment should continue.
If it is almost time for your next dose (eg. within 2 or 3 hours), skip the dose you missed and take your next dose when you are meant to.
Immediately telephone your doctor or Poisons Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26) for advice, or go to Accident and Emergency at your nearest hospital if you think that you or anyone else may have taken too much Lopresor. Do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning.
If you become pregnant while taking Lopresor, tell your doctor.
If you have an allergic reaction to a food, another medicine or an insect sting while you are taking Lopresor, tell your doctor immediately.
There is a chance that Lopresor could make the allergic reaction worse or harder to treat.
You may feel light-headed or dizzy when you start to take Lopresor.
Lopresor may change how well your diabetes is controlled. It may also prevent some of the warning signs of low blood sugar, such as fast heart beat, and may make low blood sugar last longer. The dose of your diabetes medicines may need to be changed.
If you plan to have surgery and will need an anaesthetic, tell your doctor or dentist that you are taking Lopresor.
If you are about to be started on any new medicine, remind your doctor and pharmacist that you are taking Lopresor.
Tell any other doctor, dentist or pharmacist who treats you that you are taking Lopresor.
Do not stop taking Lopresor without telling your doctor first.
Your doctor may want to gradually reduce the amount of Lopresor you are taking before stopping it completely. This helps to reduce the chance of your condition becoming worse or keep other unwanted heart problems from happening.
Do not use Lopresor to treat any other complaints unless your doctor says you can.
Be careful driving, operating machinery or doing jobs that require you to be alert while you are taking Lopresor until you know how it affects you.
As with other beta-blocker medicines, Lopresor may cause dizziness, light-headedness or decreased alertness in some people.
Like other beta-blocker medicines, Lopresor may make you more sensitive to cold temperatures, especially if you have problems with your blood circulation. These medicines tend to decrease blood circulation in the skin, fingers and toes.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well while you are taking Lopresor.
Do not store Lopresor or any other medicine in the bathroom or near a sink.
Do not leave the tablets in the car or on window sills. Heat and dampness can destroy some medicines. Lopresor will keep well if it is cool and dry.
If your doctor tells you to stop taking Lopresor or expiry date on the medicine has passed, ask your pharmacist what to do with any tablets that are left over.
Lopresor 50 - rose pink, heart- shaped, film coated tablet, marked HM on one side and CIBA on the other; one carton contains 100 tablets.
Lopresor 100 - light blue, heart- shaped, film coated, scored tablet, marked IP on one side and CIBA on the other; one carton contains 60 tablets.
Lopressor 100 - 100 mg metoprolol tartrate per tablet .
Lopressor tablets do not contain sucrose, tartrazine or any other azo dyes.

Hillary's Campaign Director Podesta And Democratic National Committee Were For Bush's War Against Iraq!
in World — by Professor Francis A Boyle —	July 29, 2016
Dori Smith: Who do you think might be the most effective person to introduce this bill {of impeachment against Bush Jr} and what is in the works in that regard?
Francis A. Boyle: We just need one person to introduce the bill with courage, integrity, principles, and of course a safe seat. In Gulf War I, I worked with the late great Congressman Henry B. Gonzales on his bill of impeachment against Bush Sr. We put that one in. I did the first draft the day after the war started. So in my opinion there is no excuse for these bills not to have been put in already. In fact, I think I mentioned to you before, on 11 March 2003 Congressman John Conyers convened a meeting of 40 to 50 of his top advisors, most of whom were lawyers, to debate putting in immediate bills of impeachment against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Ashcroft, to head off the war. And there were draft bills sitting on the table that had been prepared by me and Ramsey Clark. And the Congressman invited Ramsey and me to come in and state the case for impeachment. It was a two hour debate, very vigorous debate, obviously all of these lawyers there. And most of the lawyers there didn't disagree with us on the merits of impeachment. It was more as they saw it a question of practical politics, namely, John Podesta was there, Clinton's former White House chief of staff; said he was appearing on behalf of the Democratic National Committee and they were against putting in immediate bills of impeachment because it might hurt whoever their presidential candidate was going to be in 2004. Well at that time no one even knew who their presidential candidate was going to be in 2004.
I didn't argue the point, I'm a political independent, my position, and it was not for me to tell Democrats how to elect their candidates. I just continued arguing the merits of impeachment. But Ramsey is a lifelong Democrat and he argued that he felt that putting in these bills of impeachment might help the Democrats and it certainly wasn't going to hurt them in 2004.
Well the Democrats did lose in 2004 but as Ramsey and I were walking out after a two hour debate adjourned and I had offered to stay as long as it took to polish up my bills of impeachment and get them put in right away, because the war started, it was going to start in four days. I turned to Ramsey and I said Ramsey I just don't understand it, their arguments make no sense, why did they not take me up on my offer to stay and polish up those bills of impeachment and put them in right away to head off a war. And sadly, Ramsey said, "I think most of the people there want a war." That was 11 March 2003.
It's very clear that the high officials in the Democratic Party, certainly on the DNC, have been complicit with the Bush Administration in this war against Iraq from the get go. The Democratic national committee still vigorously opposes putting in any bills of impeachment against Bush and Cheney. Podesta and the DNC made that very clear to us on 11 March 2003.
On Tuesday 11 March 2003, with the Bush Jr. administration's war of aggression against Iraq staring the American People, Congress and Republic in their face, Congressman John Conyers of Michigan, the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee (which has jurisdiction over Bills of Impeachment), convened an emergency meeting of forty or more of his top advisors, most of whom were lawyers. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss and debate immediately putting into the U.S. House of Representatives Bills of Impeachment against President Bush Jr., Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and then Attorney General John Ashcroft in order to head off the impending war. Congressman Conyers kindly requested that Ramsey Clark and I come to the meeting in order to argue the case for impeachment.
This impeachment debate lasted for two hours. It was presided over by Congressman Conyers, who quite correctly did not tip his hand one way or the other on the merits of impeachment. He simply moderated the debate between Clark and I, on the one side, favoring immediately filing Bills of Impeachment against Bush Jr. et al. to stop the threatened war, and almost everyone else there who were against impeachment for partisan political reasons. Obviously no point would be served here by attempting to digest a two-hour-long vigorous debate among a group of well-trained lawyers on such a controversial matter at this critical moment in American history. But at the time I was struck by the fact that this momentous debate was conducted at a private office right down the street from the White House on the eve of war.
Suffice it to say that most of the "experts" there opposed impeachment not on the basis of enforcing the Constitution and the Rule of Law, whether international or domestic, but on the political grounds that it might hurt the Democratic Party effort to get their presidential candidate elected in the year 2004. As a political independent, I did not argue that point. Rather, I argued the merits of impeaching Bush Jr., Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Ashcroft under the United States Constitution, U.S. federal laws, U.S. treaties and other international agreements to which the United States is a party, etc. Article VI of the U.S. Constitution provides that treaties "shall be the supreme Law of the Land." This so-called Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution also applies to international executive agreements concluded under the auspices of the U.S. President such as the 1945 Nuremberg Charter.
Congressman Conyers was so kind as to allow me the closing argument in the debate. Briefly put, the concluding point I chose to make was historical: The Athenians lost their democracy. The Romans lost their Republic. And if we Americans did not act now we could lose our Republic! The United States of America is not immune to the laws of history!
After two hours of most vigorous debate among those in attendance, the meeting adjourned with second revised draft Bills of Impeachment sitting on the table.
Certainly, if the U.S. House of Representatives can impeach President Clinton for sex and lying about sex, then a fortiori the House can, should, and must impeach President Bush Jr. for war, lying about war, and threatening more wars. All that is needed is for one Member of Congress with courage, integrity, principles and a safe seat to file these currently amended draft Bills of Impeachment against Bush Jr., Cheney, Rumsfeld, and now Attorney General Albert Gonzales, who bears personal criminal responsibility for the Bush Jr. administration torture scandal. Failing this, the alternative is likely to be an American Empire abroad, a U.S. police state at home, and continuing wars of aggression to sustain both-along the lines of George Orwell's classic novel 1984. Despite all of the serious flaws demonstrated by successive United States governments that this author has amply documented elsewhere during the past quarter century as a Professor of Law, the truth of the matter is that America is still the oldest Republic in the world today. "We the People of the United States" must fight to keep it that way! Podesta and the DNC did not!

Had the impeachment executed on time, much of destruction in the name of ' war on terror' would have been averted. But the bush sr. and jr. ruled their full tenure and massacred thousands of innocents in their time and have not been tried for murders. Hey escaped trials and their successors continued their policies.
