Patriots Marathon team set to run the Boston Marathon
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (April 15, 2011) - On no better day to display the true meaning of being a Patriot, Patriots Media Relations staff members Christy Berkery and Michael Jurovaty will lead the Patriots Marathon Team of twenty runners to the starting line of the 115th Boston Marathon this coming Marathon Monday, April 18 in Boston.
After months of training, meetings and fundraising, the Patriots Marathon Team will run the historic race starting on Main Street in Hopkinton at 10:30 a.m. with the goal of reaching the finish line on Boylston St. while wearing an official Patriots Marathon Team jersey.
This year's Patriots Marathon Team set an ambitious and Patriotic goal of raising $76,000 and have already eclipsed that mark with a record-breaking effort of $78,000 and counting. In the four years since the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation has fielded a team, they have raised more than $250,000 for deserving nonprofits. This year, the funds raised will support scholarships for youth in need at the University of Massachusetts Boston as well as the NEPCF's Community MVP Award program which awards grants to nonprofit organizations through nominations of deserving volunteers in the New England region.
"The Kraft family and the Patriots organization would like to thank Christy, Michael and the entire marathon team," said Patriots Charitable Foundation President Joshua Kraft. "Thanks to their dedication and this year's record-breaking fundraising efforts, deserving students and committed volunteers throughout the region will benefit from the entire team's commitment. We wish them the best of luck and will be cheering for them this Patriots Day."
This year's team includes runners from nine states and first time marathon runners. Runners including George Marr from Kingstown, R.I. applied to the team after responding to opportunities announced through the Patriots Facebook and Twitter accounts. When applying to the team, each runner submitted information about their desire to run on the team which included stories of being life-long Patriots fans, triumph over personal difficulties and a desire to lead healthy lives.

Divorced working mother Christine Campbell meets her ex-husband Richard's new girlfriend: a nice, young, impossible-to-hate woman also named Christine.

Upon learning that her close friend Barb (recurring guest star Emmy Award winner WANDA SYKES) is responsible for matching up "new" Christine and Richard, Christine allows Barb to set her up on a blind date of her own.
Upon learning from the gloating Matthew that Christine is out enjoying her fifth date with an attorney, Burton (recurring guest star MATT LETSCHER), Richard does what any self-respecting ex-husband would do: he sabotages them.

Q: How to create a dictionary with a slash as key in postscript So I know these basic dict commands in Postscript:
i dict creates a dictionary with i entries
d begin moves dictionary d to the dictionary stack
end      removes the topmost dictionary from the dictionary stack
d n w put store value w under name n in dictionary d
d n get get the value of name n in dictionary d, and put it on the stack
What I would like to do is create a dictionary that represents the associativity of differend operands. The + operand and the - operand share the same priority, therefor they are both set to 0, the * and / operands also share the same priority, but have higher priority than + and - and are therefor set to 1 and so on...
The Problem is, that I am not able to set the dictionary key to / as it is treated as some kind of "delimiter". Is there any way around this, since i cannot change the keys, and I cannot create a dict like this:
/prioritydict 5 dict def
prioritydict /(-) 0 put
prioritydict /(+) 0 put
prioritydict /(*) 1 put
prioritydict /(/) 1 put
prioritydict /(^) 2 put

nor like this:
/prioritydict 5 dict def
prioritydict /- 0 put
prioritydict /+ 0 put
prioritydict /* 1 put
prioritydict // 1 put
prioritydict /^ 2 put

Any help is greatly appreciated

A: You could use the cvn (convert to name) operator to turn a string of any form you want into a literal name.  These should all be equivalent:
prioritydict <2f> cvn 1 put

prioritydict (\/) cvn 1 put

prioritydict (\057) cvn 1 put

A: %!

/prioritydict 5 dict def

prioritydict begin

/+ 0 def
/- 0 def
/* 1 def
%// 1 def    conflicts with immediately evaluated name
/^ 2 def

* ^ add =

A: If you're only going to mention it using a literal name, then you can use just a single slant.
/

That is, an empty name indicated by just the decorator followed by zero characters before the next delimiter (space or newline or parens or braces).
You should be able to define it and load it, but you can't directly make an executable name for it, so you can't make use of automatic loading like with other definitions.
/ 1 def
/ load =
/ cvx exec =

Chance to take a step back with Career Intermission Program
Army pilot program offers partially paid break from active duty
David Vergun
Published: 03:20PM June 19th, 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C. Need some time off to care for a sick or elderly parent or young child? Want to finish that degree by going full-time? Been dreaming of climbing the Alps, but need an extended vacation?
The Career Intermission Pilot Program, or CIPP, may be a Soldier's best opportunity to do those or any number of other things, said Albert S. Eggerton, deputy chief, Officer Division, G-1.
The pilot program gives Soldiers a chance "to take a step back from the Army without having to go through the normal, very complex procedures of separating from the service," he said.
CIPP is targeted for only the "best performers," he said, "people we've invested money in who've shown they have an affinity for service and who will be performers in the future."
These are Soldiers who "have challenges or desires in their lives that can't be met within the rigid framework of the Army" and the Army wants to keep them, he said, meaning that CIPP could become a useful retention tool.
Up to a total of 20 officers and 20 enlisted per year in the regular Army, Army Reserve and Active Guard/Reserve will be able to take up to three years in the Individual Ready Reserve, with the stipulation that they return when their sabbatical or extended sabbatical ends.
It's not a full-pay sabbatical, however. Soldiers will get paid "two times 1/30th" of their base pay, according to Military Personnel Message 14-143, which describes CIPP in detail.
Although Soldiers will not receive most of their salary and will not be eligible for Servicemembers Group Life Insurance and Tuition Assistance during that period, Eggerton said they'll still be able to use Tricare and certain privileges like shopping at the commissary and Exchange.
CIPP also comes with a service extension obligation of two months for every month spent in the pilot.
There are a number of disqualifiers listed in MILPER message 14-143, including the stipulation that Soldiers must have completed their initial active-duty obligation and not have been identified for deployment or in receipt of permanent change-of-station orders.
Application packages must arrive at Human Resources Command by Sept. 1, 2014. The start day for the program is June 1, 2015. As with any program, Eggerton advised doing the paperwork sooner, rather than later.
Eggerton said Human Resources Command has so far only received one package, although there have been a number of inquiries, so he expects interest to pick up over the summer and as word spreads.
Authority for CIPP comes from the 2009 Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act. Eggerton said the authority lasts only until Dec. 31, 2015, but he thinks the act could be extended a few more years since there's bipartisan interest in helping service members.
Eggerton said some of the inquiries received from the Navy's similar program have been for mounting an Alpine climbing expedition.

Idaho man wins $50,000 in snack-run lottery ticket
Anthony Schmierer bought his "first and only" Idaho lottery ticket during a snack run.
Idaho Lottery
When Anthony Schmierer went to buy snacks at a local convenience store, he spotted a crossword lottery ticket.
In the four years he had lived in Idaho, he never once bought a lottery ticket. His quick decision paid off big time, the Idaho Lottery said Wednesday, Nov. 23.
The Bayview man scratched off the ticket and couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"I thought I must've just not understood Idaho Scratch Games, so I waited for my kids to get home," Schmierer told the Idaho Lottery. "They would be honest with me on whether I was going crazy or not!"
His children confirmed that he wasn't crazy and actually won $50,000. Schmierer and his son Westley drove seven hours and over 400 miles to Boise to claim his win.
"Besides getting a hotel and some good food tonight with Westley, I'm going to pay off bills," he said. "If there's enough left over, I really hope I can get a vehicle that has four-wheel drive and no dents from deer!"

George Washington was more than the "father of his country." He was one of the greatest men who ever lived, certainly the greatest soldier-statesman. His accomplishments in both war and peace make him a man for all seasons and all ages. Starting with untrained and ill-equipped citizen volunteers he won an eight-year war against the super power of the time. Then, as president for eight years, he unerringly guided the fledgling United States through a series of formative and international crises with unmatched judgment and integrity.
Of his many achievements, the most stunning was holding the Continental Army together largely through the force of his personality. Without Washington in command and present continuously in the winter camps, on the march and at most of the key battles, the Continental Army would have dissolved on numerous occasions and England would have won the war. The war was finally won because as long as the Continental Army was in the field England could not win.

Fallston, MD (June 28, 2016) – Need a haircut? Love animals? On Wednesday, July 27, Patrick Lomantini, a master hair stylist from Wichita, Kansas, will return to cut hair at Bel Air's Bella Amici Salon to bring attention to and raise funds for the many wonderful animals at the Humane Society of Harford County (HSHC). On this, his fifth annual tour, Lomantini will travel to all 50 states in 91 continuous days to give at least 50 haircuts at each salon – all for his love and passion for saving the nation's homeless animals. One hundred percent of the proceeds are donated to the participating shelter or animal rescue group.
Lomantini will start cutting hair at 10am at Bella Amici and his last appointment will be at 8pm. Men, women and children are encouraged to make an appointment now by calling Bella Amici Salon at 410-588-5688. During his day-long cutting extravaganza, a minimum $25 donation will be collected per haircut. Lomantini doesn't pocket any money; he is donating 100% of all proceeds to support the programs and services at HSHC. The first 50 people who get haircuts will receive a goody bag with product samples and other giveaways.
Folks who are unable to attend are encouraged to donate $25 for a resident of Bel Air's Homecoming Project to get a haircut. The Homecoming Project is an eight bed, state certified half-way house for women recovering from alcohol and substance abuse. Donations can be made online or brought directly to HSHC, 2208 Connolly Rd, Fallston. Donations should be clearly marked "Homecoming Project" and all checks should be made payable to HSHC. The deadline to make a donation is Wednesday, July 20.
Patrick will gladly cut your hair for donation to Locks of Love or other similar organizations. The easy-to-follow directions to mail your hair to Locks of Love can be found at www.locksoflove.org/get-involved.
Adoptable animals who are looking for permanent homes will be visiting Bella Amici's front lawn between 11am and 2pm.
"Not only is Patrick incredibly passionate about helping animals in need, he is also a really generous person who has an incredibly positive attitude," said Erin Long, marketing coordinator at HSHC. "Once you meet him, he makes you feel like one of his oldest and most treasured friends. He definitely has a following among our supporters and many of them look forward to seeing him each year on his stop in Bel Air."
"We couldn't be more pleased and happy for all of the animal organizations that benefited from last year's event and for all of the salons that participated in hosting me and my team," Lomantini said. "Thank you all so much in continuing to believe in our passion and dream for better animal welfare." Follow Lomantini on his journey by visiting www.barkaid.org.

US— Hot on the heels of its acquisition of Widemile last week, Webtrends has released version 9 of its web analytics platform.
The latest iteration of its flagship product boasts a range of new features including an RSS overlay, which allows users to map data from a public news or blog feed to see what effect that activity has had on key website metrics such as page views, unique visitors or time spent on site.
Another addition to the platform is a feature called Story View, which takes website stats and weaves them into a basic narrative structure that is designed to be shared with others via emails, reports and presentations.


Providing a tool that is based on fact, believable and void of any marketing spin was of paramount importance to Kepco as they engaged with stakeholders and decision-makers on this extraction project in the Hunter Valley, Australia.
Critical to the success of this video was Truescape's ability to clearly articulate the context in which this project would exist. The topography, vegetation, mine staging, rehabilitation and final landform were all key considerations that, when combined with survey grade accuracy and near photo realism, provided authenticity and integrity to the final video.
The end product provided a platform for Kepco to explain and engage with all parties irrespective of their technical knowledge or support for the project, or not.


BePure Day 10 – Feelin' Good, Feelin' Great!
So, this weekend…well…it wasn't that hard! At first, I thought I was going to have to lock myself in my apartment all weekend. I was nervous to be around my friends, who were going to be drinking, but it really wasn't bad! Friday night I went to a friend's birthday party and succeeded being the only person not drinking. I didn't know a lot of people in attendance, so I decided to "pretend" I had a drink. Before I went over there, I made a hot tottie – hot water, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and a drop of maple syrup! I think that made people think I was drinking a little, which makes it less awkward. I don't understand why not drinking is so unacceptable, but I guess, when you're a 21+ college student, you are expected to drink every chance you can get. Well, not me!
Saturday night I enjoyed a bonfire with my favorite guy friends. It was very relaxing. All the girls were astonished that I wasn't drinking. Now, this may make it sound like I drink a lot, but I really don't. I'm a two-drink-drunk kind of person so I never really get to the point that others do. I don't black out, I don't get hangovers, and I don't forget what I do. I'm a reserved and social drinker…so it isn't that hard to pull off the not drinking thing. I am fun either way!
On another note, today is April 2nd! Yay! I didn't get to fool anyone yesterday, which kind of stinks. I did go to hot yoga (3rd time since the cleanse began) and I love it! After doing yoga, I made a fake milkshake – peanut butter, greek yogurt, a banana, ice, and a scoop of peanut butter/chocolate Spirulina protein powder! I even had some guys try it, and they liked it! Then they all went to get milkshakes, haha!

The Craziest Thing About The Pennsylvania Special Election Isn't Even Who Won
"I thought to myself, 'Maybe I could be the one who changes that.'"
Isaac Saul @ike_saul
Pundits and politicians alike have been obsessing over the March 13 special election in Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District. The hotly contested race flipped a long-red district to blue and resulted in buzzy victory for first-time candidate Conor Lamb. But while most of the discussion over the race and its results has been focused on what the Pennsylvania Democrat's win presages for purple district Republicans in November's midterms, the little-told story of third-party candidate Drew Miller may be even more interesting.
After more than 228,000 votes were cast, Lamb narrowly won the race by 627 votes over Republican Rick Saccone, per The New York Times' final tally. But Miller, who ran for the Libertarian Party, received 1,379 votes and in doing so became "the most hated man in America," as he joked on Twitter. Suddenly, he became part of the story for "covering the spread," as he put it in an interview with A Plus. If less than half of his votes had gone to Saccone, Miller could have swung the entire race.
So, for some, the craziest thing about the Pennsylvania special election isn't who took the lion's share of votes: it's what the third-party candidate demonstrated by running at all. And by carrying enough votes to potentially swing the entire election.
He certainly showed that every vote counts.
"There definitely is this notion that I essentially stole votes from Rick Saccone," Miller told A Plus. "But I don't necessarily believe that's what occurred. It definitely goes to show you that every vote does count, and those 1,300 people that voted for me could have determined the outcome of this election. It was their votes that really mattered and sent a message."
Drew Miller campaign
Miller insisted that if you're fed up with the divisiveness of Washington, D.C., the best thing you can do is vote for a third-party candidate to send a message. He says that elections have become a lot like the Super Bowl in Pittsburgh last year: people were rooting against the New England Patriots, not for the Philadelphia Eagles.
"For me, what it has always been about is I hate walking into a voting booth and only having one or at the very most two options," Miller said. "I just didn't think that was how democracy was supposed to work... this recent election I thought to myself, 'Maybe I could be the one who changes that.'"
Despite being on the ballot, the coverage of Miller in the media leading up to the election was almost nonexistent. His face was never shown on television during coverage of the race from national news outlets, and his campaign had to call local newspapers and ask them to include his name in stories about the election. It was especially frustrating because Miller felt he was the most qualified, citing Lamb's lack of legislative experience and what he described as Saccone's disregard for the separation of church and state.
"The media never wants to talk about these third-party candidates," Miller said. "But I'm really glad I was able to present another viewpoint. People are tired of this divisiveness in Washington right now... I'm fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I draw from the best sides of both parties."
Conor Lamb campaign images.
Miller could see a little bit of overlap between himself and the two other candidates. He felt like all three were against weapons bans, and noted that he was glad to see a younger candidate like Lamb headed for D.C. But while Miller campaigned mostly for younger voters, he said that Lamb ran on a message about Medicare and Medicaid, almost exclusively campaigning for elder Americans.
Asked who he would have voted for if he had to, Miller dismissed the question. Instead, he told A Plus, it's much more interesting to think about who Lamb or Saccone would vote for if they had a choice between Miller and the other candidate.
"I guarantee you, a 100 percent, they would have both rather voted for me than the other candidate," Miller said. "I think that they saw that I was the most qualified candidate on the ballot."
The 18th Congressional district... which will cease to exist in its current form just in time for midterms in November.
Miller believes his role in the much-discussed race has ignited a spark, and while he's unsure of his own future, he thinks third-party candidates will become more and more important going forward. Part of that has to do with a new law. Previously, in Pennsylvania, third-party candidates had to collect as many as 30 times the number of signatures to run for office as Democrats and Republicans, per The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. But Lamb and other third-party enthusiasts fought the law, and the Supreme Court in Pennsylvania ruled it unconstitutional. Now, the number of signatures needed are capped at 5,000 for third-party candidates, which means there may be a lot more of them in the coming years.
"I don't have any regrets at all," Miller said. "Everyone I talked to who voted for me, they feel really, really good about voting for me. I don't know if a lot of the voters could say that who voted for Conor Lamb or Rick Saccone."
In February, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court also ruled Pennsylvania's districts to be redrawn after it established that the districts had been gerrymandered to favor Republicans. When the new districts are implemented before the 2018 midterms, Miller will be the only one of the special election candidates left who actually lives in the 18th District.

Home. > Presidential Elections Reform > Resources > Electoral College > How the Electoral College works today > Concerns with the Electoral College > Faithless Electors
"Faithless Electors" are members of the Electoral College who, for whatever reason, do not vote for their party's designated candidate.
Since the founding of the Electoral College, there have been 157 faithless electors. 71 of these votes were changed because the original candidate died before the day on which the Electoral College cast its votes. Three of the votes were not cast at all as three electors chose to abstain from casting their electoral vote for any candidate. The other 82 electoral votes were changed on the personal initiative of the elector.
Sometimes electors change their votes in large groups, such as when 23 Virginia electors acted together in 1836. Many times, however, these electors stood alone in their decisions. As of the 2004 election, no elector has changed the outcome of an election by voting against his or her party's designated candidate.
Despite these 157 faithless votes, and a Supreme Court ruling allowing states to empower political parties to require formal pledges from presidential electors (Ray v Blair, 343 US 214), 21 states still do not require their members of the Electoral College to vote for their party's designated candidate.
The 29 states (plus the District of Columbia) that do require faithfulness issue a small variety of rarely enforced punishments for faithless electors, including fines and misdemeanors.
The names, dates, and stories of these 156 votes are listed below:
2004 – Anonymous (Democrat, Minnesota)
2000 - Barbara Lett-Simmons (Democrat, District of Columbia)
1988 - Margaret Leach (Democrat, West Virginia)
1976 - Mike Padden (Republican, Washington)
1972 - Roger L. MacBride (Republican, Virginia)
1968 - Dr. Lloyd W. Bailey (Republican, North Carolina)
1960 - Henry D. Irwin (Republican, Oklahoma)
1956 - W.F. Turner (Democrat, Alabama)
1948 - Preston Parks (Democrat, Tennessee)
1912 - Eight Republican Electors
1896 - Four People's Party Electors
1872 - Sixty-Three Democratic Electors
1836 - Twenty-Three Democratic Electors (Virginia)
1832 - Thirty-Two Democratic Electors (PA, MD)
1828 - Seven Democratic Electors (Georgia)
1820 - William Plummer, Sr. (Democratic-Republican, NH)
1812 - Three Federalist Electors
1808 - Six Democratic-Republican Electors
1796 - Samuel Miles (Federalist, Pennsylvania)
An unknown elector from Minnesota, pledged to vote for Democrat John Kerry, cast a presidential vote instead for Kerry's running mate John Edwards (the elector also cast his or her vice presidential vote for Edwards.) One Minnesota elector, who believed the Edwards vote must have been a mistake, said "I'm certainly glad the Electoral College isn't separated by one vote."
Barbara Lett-Simmons, a Democratic elector from the District of Columbia, did not cast her vote in order to protest the lack of congressional representation for Washington, DC. Lett-Simmons was the first elector to abstain from voting since 1832. Her abstention did not affect the outcome of the election.
Margaret Leach, a nurse from Huntington, WV, was pledged to the Democratic Party. During the Electoral College process, Leach learned that members of the Electoral College were not required to vote for the candidates they were pledged to. Upon learning this, she decided to draw more attention to the situation by switching her votes for president and vice president. She cast her presidential vote for Lloyd Bentsen, the
Democratic Vice Presidential candidate, and cast her vice presidential vote for Michael Dukakis, the Democratic presidential candidate.
Leach tried to convince other electors to join her, but hers remained the only unexpected vote.
Mike Padden, a lawyer from Spokane, WA, was pledged to vote for Gerald Ford, the 1976 Republican candidate for president. Instead Padden voted for Ronald Reagan, who had run in the Republican primary and lost. For vice president he voted for Robert Dole, Gerald Ford's running mate.
Roger L. MacBride was pledged to the Republican party of Virginia. However, in the 1972 election, MacBride did not cast his electoral vote for Richard Nixon, the Republican presidential candidate, but for John Hospers, the Libertarian presidential candidate.
He also cast his vice presidential vote for Toni Nathan, the Libertarian vice presidential candidate, (making Nathan the first woman to receive an electoral vote). MacBride ran as the Libertarian candidate for president in the next election but did not receive any electoral votes.
Dr. Lloyd W. Bailey was an elector for the Republican Party of North Carolina. He did not vote for Richard Nixon however, but for George Wallace, the presidential candidate for the American Independence Party. (Wallace received a total of 46 electoral votes).
Bailey claimed that Nixon had done some things that displeased him (like appointing Henry Kissinger and Daniel Moynihan) and so he decided not to vote for him. He also protested that he had never signed a pledge promising to vote for any particular candidate and that his vote for Wallace was justified because Wallace was the winner in Bailey's district.
Bailey later admitted at a Senate hearing that he would have voted for Richard Nixon if his vote would have altered the outcome of the election.
Henry D. Irwin, a Republican elector from Oklahoma, was originally pledged to Richard Nixon. Irwin later admitted in an interview with CBS that he "could not stomach" Nixon. He tried to convince the Democratic and Republican electors to reject both Kennedy and Nixon as presidential candidates. His choice replacement was a combination of two conservative senators: Harry F. Byrd of Virginia and Barry Goldwater of Arizona. In fact, he sent out telegrams to the other electors.
One telegram sent to the 218 Republican electors read:
"I am Oklahoma Republican elector. The Republican electors cannot deny the election to Kennedy. Sufficient conservative Democratic electors available to deny labor Socialist nominee. Would you consider Byrd President, Goldwater Vice President, or wire any acceptable substitute. All replies strict confidence."
Irwin received several replies (about 40) from other electors but he was the only one to vote against his designated party. He cast his electoral votes for Byrd and Goldwater.
In the same election 14 unpledged electors (eight from Mississippi and six from Alabama) cast their presidential votes for Harry Byrd. All 14 also voted for Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina as vice president.
W.F. Turner, a Democratic elector from Alabama, voted for Walter Burgwyn Jones instead of the Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson. Jones was formerly a circuit court judge from Turner's hometown.
Preston Parks was a member of Tennessee's Democratic Party. He was appointed as one of their state electors early in the election year. Before the election, members of the Democratic Party split off and formed the States Rights party.
Parks vowed before the election to vote for Senator Strom Thurmond, the States Rights Party candidate instead of Harry Truman. Another elector also made the same pledge but ended up voting for Truman.
Thurmond, who gathered less than 3% of the popular vote, received a total of 39 electoral votes. These votes came from Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina.
In 1912, Republican Vice Presidential candidate James S. Sherman died before the election. He was President William Howard Taft's vice president and they were both running for re-election.
Eight Republican electors had pledged their votes to him but voted for Nicholas Murray Butler instead.
In 1896, two parties, the Democratic Party and the People's Party, ran William Jennings Bryan as their presidential candidate. The two parties, though they shared a presidential candidate, nominated different candidates for vice president. The Democratic Party nominated Arthur Sewall and the People's Party nominated Thomas Watson.
The People's Party won 31 electoral votes but four of those electors voted with the Democratic ticket, supporting Bryan as president and Sewall as vice president.
The Democratic Party nominated Horace Greeley for President in 1872. However, Greeley died after the November election but before the Electoral College had cast their votes. 63 of the 66 Democratic Electors refused to give their votes to a deceased candidate. 17 of these 63 Electors abstained from voting. The other 43 Electors split their votes among three other Democratic candidates.
The Democratic Party nominated Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky as their vice presidential candidate. The 23 electors from Virginia refused to support Johnson with their votes upon learning of the allegation that he had lived with an African-American woman.
With these 23 votes missing, there was no majority in the Electoral College and the decision was deferred to the Senate. In the end, the Senate voted for Johnson as the vice president.
1832 - Thirty-Two Electors (Pennsylvania & Maryland)
Two National Republican Party electors from the state of Maryland refused to vote for presidential candidate Henry Clay, not voting against Clay but abstaining completely.
In the same year, all 30 electors from Pennsylvania refused to support the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Martin Van Buren, voting instead for William Wilkins.
Despite the loss of the 30 votes from Pennsylvania, Martin Van Buren was elected as the vice president. Andrew Jackson was elected as the president, receiving over 75% of the electoral votes.
In this election, seven out of the nine electors from Georgia refused to vote for vice presidential candidate John Calhoun. All seven cast their vice presidential votes for William Smith instead. Andrew Jackson won his re-election, with John Calhoun as his vice president.
1820 - William Plummer, Sr. (Democratic-Republican, New Hampshire)
William Plummer, Sr. was pledged to vote for Democratic-Republican candidate James Monroe. Instead, he cast his vote for John Quincy Adams, also of the Democratic-Republican Party, although Adams was not a candidate in the 1820 election.
Supposedly, Plummer did not feel that the Electoral College should unanimously elect any president other than George Washington.
Other than three electors who did not cast votes, Plummer's vote for Adams was the only vote not cast for Monroe.
Three electors of the Federalist Party refused to cast their votes for Federalist vice presidential candidate Jared Ingersoll. All three voted instead for Elbridge Gerry, the vice presidential candidate for the
Democratic-Republican Party.
Six electors from the Democratic-Republican Party refused to support James Madison, their party's candidate for president. Instead, all three voted for George Clinton, the Democratic-Republican Party's vice presidential candidate, for president.
Samuel Miles, of Pennsylvania, was the first elector to break a pledge to vote for a specific candidate. Miles had promised to vote for Federalist candidate John Adams, but instead cast a ballot for Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson.
While Miles did not affect the outcome of the election—Jefferson still lost by three electoral votes—his decision still earns him a dubious spot in the history votes, and the ire of many Pennsylvanians as the following letter, published in the Gazette of the United States, attests: "What, do I choose Samuel Miles to determine for me whether John Adams or Thomas Jefferson shall be president? No! I choose him to act, not to think."
States that bind electors


SC follows a two-part submission process, with abstracts and full papers (Click here for important Technical Paper Submission Deadlines.). Abstracts and papers must be submitted electronically at https://submissions.supercomputing.org/. A sample submission form is also available at that site (click on the tab "Sample Submission Forms" at the login page).
An abstract submission is required in order to submit a full paper.
Format: Submissions are limited to 10 pages in the IEEE format (see http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html). The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, and appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no page limit.
Dual submission: Submission material cannot overlap substantially with any paper previously accepted for publication or under review by any conference or journal during the SC review process. Authors should follow IEEE publication policies (see http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/authors/index.html).
Submission Limits: Members of the Technical Papers Committee have no submission limits, although there is a limit of four (4) accepted papers. The Technical Papers Co-chairs, General Co-chairs, and Technical Program Co-chairs are not permitted to submit any papers, regardless of area of contribution. Beginning in SC17, The Technical Papers area co-chairs are limited to at most one submission, not in their area.
The SC16 Technical Papers Committee will rigorously review all submissions with the goal of selecting the best technical contributions across both established and emerging areas of HPC. SC16 will continue the tradition of author rebuttals of reviews. The review process acceptance criteria will concentrate on originality, technical soundness, presentation quality, timeliness, impact and relevance to SC. Papers that focus on the context of a single node, core, thread, or GPU should clearly establish how the work will impact supercomputing.
The SC16 Technical Papers Committee is divided into nine subcommittees (or area committees). The nine area committees correspond to the nine areas of contribution: Algorithms; Applications; Architectures and Networks; Clouds and Distributed Computing; Data Analytics, Visualization and Storage; Performance Measurement, Modeling, and Tools; Programming Systems; State-of-the-Practice; and System Software. This division helps to ensure that each submission is reviewed by the committee members most qualified to judge its originality, technical soundness, timeliness, impact and relevance. The area of contribution that authors select at submission time will serve as the primary mechanism to determine the subcommittee to which a submission is assigned.
Once all committee members have completed their bids, the Area Committee Co-chairs use an automated algorithm to assign papers to committee members. Each paper is assigned to four committee members, who are expected to review the papers themselves. Committee members are expected to complete all of these "first round reviews" prior to the rebuttal period. Committee members can solicit assistance from additional experts, but they are expected to read all papers that are assigned to them and to "own" their reviews. To facilitate this requirement, SC16 employs a large overall committee that should ensure no reviewer is assigned more than ten first round reviews (the expected number of first round reviews per committee member is eight or nine).
After the first round review period, the authors are notified that the rebuttal period is open. Authors should follow the guidance about rebuttals on the FAQ. Submissions for which the first round review scores are ambiguous require additional reviews. Several factors can lead to ambiguity. For example, ambiguity may arise from a wide variance in scores or from scores that do not strongly indicate either acceptance or rejection. SC16 solicits additional reviews of papers as needed. Each committee member is expected to provide two second round reviews on average. These reviews typically are not available for rebuttal.

Pastiera Napoletana is the king of Italian Easter desserts. This pie tastes better as it sits for a few days, so feel free to make it well in advance of your big Easter celebration day!
Pastiera Napoletana. It wouldn't be Easter without it (at least for me).
This recipe is a very traditional recipe for the dessert, including a traditional pasta frolla (shortcrust dough), and candied orange peels and fior d'arancio (orange blossom water) for the filling.
It's one of the oldest and most traditional Italian Easter desserts. Think of it as a ricotta pie with cooked wheatberries (grano cotto), and lovely citrus and vanilla aromas and flavors.
As one can tell by the name, pastiera napoletana orginated in Naples, but it's now widely known throughout Italy, from north to south. There are many offshoots of the original version, including one where the wheatberries are replaced with rice, or where the ricotta is replaced with cream.
What is Grano Cotto (Cooked Wheat)?
Grano Cotto is one of the main ingredients in a Pastiera Napoletana's filling, and the ingredient that makes it so unique. It's wheatberries that have been precooked and is sold in a jar. Buying grano cotto for your pastiera saves a lot of time when preparing the pastiera.
Some people choose to cook their own wheatberries when making pastiera napoletana (and goes along with the very traditional method). But in this recipe for pastiera napoletana, I use the cooked wheatberries in a jar.
Traditionally, Italians prepare the pastiera the Thursday before Easter Sunday (Holy Thursday). They then let the pastiera sit at room temperature until Easter Sunday. This resting time of 2-3 days lets the flavors combine and settle. Italians will argue that it tastes best after this resting period.
This is the great thing about Pastiera Napoletana – you can make it a few days before Easter celebrations so you're not worrying about making dessert on Easter Sunday, or even the day before.
Even if you don't make it on Holy Thursday, I would recommend making the pastiera at least the night before and let it sit at room temperature overnight.
Place flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Using the paddle attachment, add the cubed butter and mix ingredients together until coarse crumbs form.
Add candied orange peels, cinnamon, fior d'arancio, and vanilla bean seeds (photo 9). Mix well.
Remove dough from the fridge, and cut off 1/4 of the dough for the lattice top. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
Add the dough to a pie dish (photo 10), cut and remove any overhang.
Place in a preheated 350°F oven. Bake for 80-90 minutes, or until edges of the pastiera are golden brown.
The candied orange peels in the filling give the pastiera a very distinct and unique flavor, so I would recommend adding them. If you can't find candied orange peels, or do not wish to add them, you can add the zest of one orange instead.
The fior d'arancio (orange blossom water) also gives a beautiful depth to the pastiera so I would recommend adding it as well if you can find it in your city or online. But once again, if you're unable to use it for whatever reason, use the zest of one orange instead.
If you've tried making this Traditional Pastiera Napoletana, or any other recipe on the blog please let me know what you thought of it in the comments below, I love hearing from you! You can also FOLLOW ME on INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND PINTEREST to see more delicious food and what I've been up to.
Mix in the lightly beaten eggs, and vanilla extract until it forms a smooth ball. (takes less than a minute).
Wrap the dough in cling wrap and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
Add the grano cotto, milk, lemon zest and butter to a medium sized pot.
Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly so that the mixture doesn't stick to the pot. Cook until mixture is dense and creamy, about 20 minutes. Let it cool.
If ricotta has a lot of moisture to it, drain it of the excess moisture with a colander.
In a large bowl, mix ricotta, eggs and sugar with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are incorporated together.
Add grano cotto mixture to the ricotta mixture. Add candied oranges, cinnamon, fior d'arancio, and vanilla bean seeds. Mix well.
Add the dough to a pie dish, cut and remove any overhang. Fill with the ricotta/grano cotto mixture.
Decorate the pastiera with a lattice top with the remaining 1/4 of the dough. Fold the edges of the dough over the lattices.
Top with extra powdered sugar.
The candied orange peels in the filling give the pastiera a very distinct flavor, so I would recommend adding them. If you can't find candied orange peels, or do not wish to add them, you can add the zest of one orange instead.
The fior d'arancio (orange blossom water) also gives a beautiful depth to the pastiera so I would recommend adding it as well if you can find it in your city or online. But once again, if you're unable to use it for whatever reason, use the zest of one orange instead.

NBC's Strange (And Compelling) A Cappella Show
By Mickey Rapkin
[#image: /photos/5582928ae52bc4b477a99a93]|||nbc sing off.png|||Last night, the a cappella competition show The Sing-Off premiered on NBC. I had a more personal reaction than most people to the show, perhaps because I wrote a book, Pitch Perfect, about collegiate a cappella back in '08 and have spent the months since trying to convince people that singing without instruments is actually kinda sorta cool. (See here. And here. And here.)
I'm not sure host Nick Lachey helped my cause last night, though The Sing-Off is slickly produced and I was happy to see the Tufts Beelzebubs—who were featured prominently in my book—do so well. (The judges certainly treated the Bubs better than this guy did a few years ago.)
Though I have to admit, watching the show, I felt like I was five years old again and Nick Lachey stole my favorite toy.
Here's the item we ran in GQ (under the heading SHAMELESS PLUG) back when my book was first published. If you're just now catching on to the a cappella wave, consider this a primer.
THE SHAMELESS PLUG
GQ senior editor Mickey Rapkin will make you care about collegiate a cappella. That's the aim, anyway, of his very funny new book, Pitch Perfect. Here, he makes the case for the most hated on-campus art form.
Before John Legend won a Grammy, he sang Joan Osborne's "One of Us" with the Penn Counterparts. And guess what? It's dope.
An honest-to-God cousin of George W. Bush once auditioned for the all-male UVA Hullabahoos. The sign-up sheet included this question: "I have the most extraordinary ______." This Bush cousin wrote, jokingly, cock.
Scott Porter of Friday Night Lights quit a cappella to go Hollywood—and as revealed in Pitch Perfect, admits he sometimes regrets it.
Still unconvinced? Well, emo titan Ben Folds has seen many, many a cappella groups cover his music on YouTube. "Some of these versions are better than the originals," he says.
Jessica Biel was rejected by the Tufts Amalgamates. And any act—musical or otherwise—who thinks they're hotter without some Jessica Biel is worth investigating

HOLYOKE, Mass. ---- Holyoke's Samantha Tersavich lofted in a goal with 33 seconds left in overtime of the Region 21 Division III Women's Soccer Championship to defeat the Massasoit women's soccer team, 2-1, in heart-breaking fashion on Sunday afternoon at William B. O'Connell Memorial Field.
With the victory, HCC advances to the Northeast District Tournament to host Nassau Community College of Region 15 on Saturday. The district winner advances to the NJCAA National Tournament hosted by Rock Valley Community College in Illinois.
An even contest throughout saw the top-seeded Warriors lead 1-0 at the break. With exactly four minutes left in the opening stanza, the Warriors corralled a goal kick by HCC. Samantha Baston (Carver) trapped the kick, passed it to fellow freshman Anya Welch-Batstone (Avon) who gave it right back to Baston who rocketed it to the back of the net to take the 1-0 lead.
Following intermission, the Warriors held onto their slim margin until the 72nd minute.
A throw in was intercepted by HCC's Gabrielle Petlock, who then took the ball to go on a breakaway to even the game with under 18 minutes left.
Massasoit had one chance to win the game at the end of regulation, but an offsides penalty was called negating a take a late lead.
Despite momentum shifting in favor of the home Cougars, Massasoit showed plenty of energy during the bonus period.
It appeared the game would go to a second overtime, but an attempted clear out pass by Massasoit found its way to the middle of the field, where Tersavich was there to connect for the golden goal and give HCC its seventh consecutive Region 21 Championship.
Saturday marked the final contest for sophomores Alex Santos (Whitman), Marlene Andrade (Brockton), Sabine Bernard (Brockton), Karen Snow (Irving, NY), Amanda Sesock (Whitman) and Athena Grant (Randolph).
Saturday marked the fourth time HCC and Massasoit met in the Region 21 Finals, all coming since 2013 and the first matchup since 2015.
Baston's goal marked the first time Massasoit has scored in a Region 21 Final vs Holyoke, being shutout in the previous three meetings.
Massasoit is still search of its first Region 21 Championship in women's soccer since 1999.

The role of circulating microRNA's in Endometriosis
By: Dr. Youngran Park - Jan 22, 2019
Increased circulating miR-370-3p regulates Steroidogenic Factor 1 in Endometriosis
miR-370-3p suppresses proliferation of endometriotic cells by regulating SF-1 .
The use of miR-370-3p to regulate SF-1 may provide a new therapeutic strategy for endometriosis.
SF-1 is an essential transcriptional regulator coordinately regulating multiple genes involved in estrogen biosynthesis.
SF-1 also plays an extraordinarily important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood.
Recently, miR-370 was reported to function as a tumor suppressor by targeting genes in various cancer cells.
Here, Dr. Taylor group from Yale University identifies the interaction of SF-1 and miR-370 and determines whether miR-370 controlled the growth of endometriotic cells by regulating SF-1.
The expression of SF-1 and miR-370-3p are inversely proportional to each other in women with endometriosis.
In primary endometriotic cells, miR-370-3p suppresses SF-1 expression.
miR-370-3p further regulates the expression of SF-1 downstream genes such as StAR and CYP19A1.
miR-370-3p inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in endometrial stromal cells.
miR-370-3p functions as a negative regulator of Steroidogenic Factor 1 (SF-1) and cell proliferation in endometriotic cells.
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder. This disease affects approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women and 20% to 50% of infertile women.
Steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1) is an essential transcriptional regulator coordinately regulating multiple genes involved in estrogen biosynthesis. SF-1 is known to play an extraordinarily important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. However, the mechanisms that regulate SF-1 expression in endometriosis are not fully understood.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small single-stranded non-coding RNAs that can play important regulatory roles in animals. Recently, miR-370 was reported to function as a tumor suppressor in various cancer cells. Previous studies indicated that miR-370 was decreased in the serum of patients with endometriosis. However, the functions and mechanisms of miR-370 in endometriosis remain unclear.
In this study, Dr. Hugh S. Taylor's group from Yale University identifies the interaction of SF-1 and miR-370 and determines whether miR-370 controlled the growth of endometriotic cells by regulating SF-1. The paper appeared in American Journal of Physiology, Endocrinology, and Metabolism.
Firstly, this group confirmed the significantly increased SF-1 expression in endometriotic lesions. From miRNA microarray expression profiling analysis data, they identified that SF-1 and miR-370-3p are inversely expressive in endometriosis. In primary endometriotic cells, miR-370-3p suppresses SF-1 expression and its further downstream genes such as StAR and CYP19A1. By performing apoptosis analysis, miR-370-3p overexpression significantly inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in endometrial stromal cells.
In summary, Dr. Taylor group found that miR-370-3p acts to suppress proliferation by regulating SF-1 in endometriotic cells. The authors believe that the use of miR-370-3p to regulate SF-1 may provide a new therapeutic strategy for endometriosis.

The Earliest Appearances of Cookie Monster's Sharp-Toothed Prototype
A sharp-toothed prototype of the Cookie Monster makes his first appearance as the Wheel Stealer in a 1966 unaired pilot ad for General Foods Canada's Wheels, Crowns and Flutes snacks. According to Muppet Wiki, the "Wheel-Stealer" puppet then went on to star in an IBM training film called The Coffee Break Machine. Later, he appeared (toothless) as Arnold the Munching Monster for a Frito-Lay Munchos commercial. Cookie Monster eventually made his debut on Sesame Street in 1969.
First, of course, he was the Wheel Stealer. This purple-ish hungry character was also used in early 1969 as Arnold the Munching Monster for a Frito-Lay Munchos commercial. A green version ate up a blinking machine on Ed Sullivan's show and devoured a computer in an IBM meeting film. Ultimately, he was remade in blue without teeth and continues to be the friendly, insatiable Monster on Sesame Street and recently as a surprise guest on Saturday Night Live.
Sketch of the Wheel-Stealer from Jim Henson's Designs and Doodles
IBM training film called The Coffee Break Machine
A proto-Cookie Monster wanders upon a talking coffee machine that has been set in "Auto-Descriptive" Mode. As the machine describes its parts, the monster eats them. Once the machine is finished, the voice of the machine from inside the monster tells him that he has activated the anti-vandalism program, which harbors the most powerful explosives known to man. The monster instantly combusts. The version on the Ed Sullivan Show is slightly different; in this version, the machine itself is an explosive device.
Commercials. Storyboard, Munchos (Frito Lay). One 7.75″x 4.75″ portion of original storyboard. Storyboard sketches feature a monster, Arnold, similar to Cookie Monster. 1969.

Sale & Leaseback
Other Advisory
Corporate & Portfolio
Coffer Corporate Leisure has been central to many of the leisure sector's most prestigious deals, advising on over £3billion of Corporate, Portfolio and Property Investment transactions.
Investment sale of Carluccio's, St John's Wood
The freehold of 60 St John's Wood High Street, let to Carluccio's, has been sold by Coffer Corporate Leisure on behalf of Attleborough Estates Limited to a private individual for £6.33 million.
The 3,261 sq ft property comprises a restaurant arranged over basement, ground and part of the first floor let to Carluccio's for a further 15 years at a passing rent of £190,000 per annum, subject to a review in September 2019. The property also included four apartments over first to fourth floors. One studio apartment was provided with vacant possession whilst the remainder were sold off on long leasehold interests subject to a £750 per annum ground rent. The striking corner terraced building is in a prominent location close to Regent's Park and Lord's Cricket Ground and surrounding by a large and affluent catchment.
Lawrence Telford, Director of Coffer Corporate Leisure said: "Central and Greater London leisure investments have seen unprecedented levels of demand in 2015 and we see no sign of this abating as we pass into the New Year. Well-let leisure investments remain very popular with investors and as evidenced by this very low-yielding, off-market transaction."
Coffer Corporate Leisure acted for the vendor Attleborough Estates. Michael Elliott acted for the purchaser.
