Thursday House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) was greeted with a standing ovation as he walked into Congress to give a speech after nearly losing his life when he was shot in June at a Republican congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, VA.


The state of Louisiana, which is located in the Southern part of the United States, is the only state that has parishes instead of counties. In Louisiana, you will find major cities such as: New Orleans, Shreveport, Baton Rouge, Monroe, Lake Charles, Metairie, Alexandria, Hammond, Houma, Lafayette, Pineville, Natchitoches. Louisiana has long humid and hot summers and short mildly cold winters. Church Angel has a huge list of churches in Louisiana that offer various Christian denominations including Evangelical, Presbyterian, Protestant, Baptist, Lutheran, and many more. Our church directory lists 7589 churches in Louisiana, so there are lots to choose from! We hope that you find a church in LA that meets your needs.

I am an Indie Dyer with a heartfelt sense of colour movement and use unique dyeing techniques that I have developed over the last 10 years. My colourways are inspired by nature, childhood memories, emotions, dreams and the good life that I live. The colours are sometimes bold and other times they are more muted, shifting with moods and the seasons.
I hand select my yarns to ensure they are the best quality merino, mohair, bamboo and cotton available. I am proud of the high quality fibres that South African farmers produce so I work predominantly in locally produced yarns.

What's New in Fedora 19?
The Fedora Project takes great pride in being able to show off features for all types of use cases, including traditional desktop users, systems administration, development, the cloud, and many more. But a few new features are guaranteed to be seen by nearly anyone installing Fedora and are improvements that deserve to be called out on their own.
A complete list with details of each new feature is available here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/19/FeatureList
Make new things
Would you like to play? Whether you're a developer, maker, or just starting to learn about open source development, we have what you need to bring your ideas to reality. Here's a peek at some of our new tools:
Developer's Assistant is a tool for new developers that helps you to get started on a code project by offering templates, samples, and toolchains for a variety of languages. And when you're finished, you can publish directly to GitHub!
3D modelling and printing are supported with OpenSCAD, Skeinforge, SFACT, Printrun, RepetierHost, and other tool options. Get printing without having to download binary blobs or run Python code from git.
OpenShift Origin makes it easy for you to build your own Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure, allowing you to enable others to easily develop and deploy software.
node.js is a popular Javascript-based platform for those building scalable network applications or real-time apps across distributed devices.
Ruby 2.0.0 moves into Fedora but keeps source-level backwards compatibility with your Ruby 1.9.3 software. We're also giving you a custom Ruby loader to use to easily switch interpreters.
MariaDB offers a truly open MySQL implementation and is now the default MySQL option in Fedora.
Deploy, Monitor, and Manage
You don't have to work so hard when your machines are doing it for you. Regardless of how many you have, Fedora 19 helps you boot-manage your systems and gives you the tools you need for diagnosis, monitoring, and logging.
systemd Resource Control is one of many systemd enhancements in this release. It lets you modify your service settings without a reboot by dynamically querying and modifying resource control parameters at runtime.
Kerberos administrators no longer need their clients to sync their clocks or to have reverse DNS records carefully setup for services. Fedora 19 also includes Kerberos-enabled, LDAP replicated, two-factor authentication for FreeIPA.
Checkpoint & Restore lets you checkpoint and restore a process. It is useful for issues like process failure or moving a process to another machine for maintenance or load balancing.
OpenLMI is a common infrastructure for the management of Linux systems that makes remote management of machines much simpler.
Desktop Environments and Spins
GNOME 3.8 brings new applications such as clock and improvements to the desktop including privacy and sharing settings, ordered search, frequent applications overview, and additionally provides the ability to enable GNOME Classic ("classic mode") for a user experience similar to GNOME 2 built out of a collection of GNOME Shell extensions. Refer to https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.8/ for more details.
KDE Plasma Workspaces 4.10
A modern, stable desktop environment, KDE Plasma Workspaces 4.10 includes new features for printing and screenlocking, better indexing of files, and improved accessibility features. Refer to http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.10/ for more details.
MATE Desktop 1.6
The MATE 1.6 Desktop introduces a large number of improvements to this traditional, GNOME 2-like desktop interface. Refer to http://mate-desktop.org/2013/04/02/mate-1-6-released/ for more details.
Spins are alternate versions of Fedora. In addition to various desktop environments for Fedora, spins are also available as tailored environments for various types of users via hand-picked application sets or customizations.
Interest-specific Spins include the Design Suite Spin, the Robotics Spin, and the Security Spin, among others. Other available desktop environments, in addition to the GNOME 3.8 desktop which is shipped in the default version of Fedora 19, as well as those highlighted above, include Xfce, Sugar on a Stick, and LXDE.

messengerX
=====================

"messengerX" is the messenger application based [node-xpush](https://github.com/xpush/node-xpush).

Visit messengerX web site - [messengerx.github.io](http://messengerx.github.io)

## Using this project

We recommend using the `ionic` utility to create new Ionic projects that are based on this project but use a ready-made starter template.

For example, to start a new Ionic project with the default tabs interface, make sure the `ionic` utility is installed:

```bash
$ sudo npm install -g ionic
```

Then run:

```bash
$ ionic start messengerX tabs
```

More info on this can be found on the Ionic [Getting Started](http://ionicframework.com/getting-started) page.

## Installation & Run

While we recommend using the `ionic` utility to create new Ionic projects, you can use this repo as a barebones starting point to your next Ionic app.

To use this project as is, first clone the repo from GitHub, then run:

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/xpush/messengerX.git
$ cd messengerX
$ sudo npm install -g cordova ionic gulp
$ npm install
$ gulp install
```

This following command will display the url, then open the url with your chrome browser.

```bash
$ ionic serve
Running dev server at http://**USER_IP**:8100/
```

## Add cordova plugins for mobile application (optional)

```bash
$ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.console  // only for developing
$ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device
$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-plugins-keyboard
$ cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification
$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin.git
$ cordova plugins add org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser
$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/Toast-PhoneGap-Plugin.git
```

## Using Sass (optional)

This project makes it easy to use Sass (the SCSS syntax) in your projects. This enables you to override styles from Ionic, and benefit from
Sass's great features.

Just update the `./scss/ionic.app.scss` file, and run `gulp` or `gulp watch` to rebuild the CSS files for Ionic.

Note: if you choose to use the Sass method, make sure to remove the included `ionic.css` file in `index.html`, and then uncomment
the include to your `ionic.app.css` file which now contains all your Sass code and Ionic itself:

```html
<!-- IF using Sass (run gulp sass first), then remove the CSS include above
<link href="css/ionic.app.css" rel="stylesheet">
-->
```

## Updating Ionic

To update to a new version of Ionic, open bower.json and change the version listed there.

For example, to update from version `1.0.0-beta.9` to `1.0.0-beta.10`, open bower.json and change this:

>**Note**: This application optimized with ionic version 1.0.1-beta.11

```
"ionic": "driftyco/ionic-bower#1.0.0-beta.9"
```

To this:

```
"ionic": "driftyco/ionic-bower#1.0.0-beta.10"
```

After saving the update to bower.json file, run `gulp install`.

Alternatively, install bower globally with `npm install -g bower` and run `bower install`.

#### Using the Nightly Builds of Ionic

If you feel daring and want use the bleeding edge 'Nightly' version of Ionic, change the version of Ionic in your bower.json to this:

```
"ionic": "driftyco/ionic-bower#master"
```

Warning: the nightly version is not stable.

## Issues
Issues have been disabled on this repo, if you do find an issue or have a question consider posting it on the [Ionic Forum](http://forum.ionicframework.com/).  Or else if there is truly an error, follow our guidelines for [submitting an issue](http://ionicframework.com/contribute/#issues) to the main Ionic repository. On the other hand, pull requests are welcome here!

Q: javascript events triggered by content-editable code tag Im using a code tag which has its content-editable set to true. Its not triggering the change event which is attached to it on load. What are the list of all possible events that are triggered from it?
I have tried the input event listener. It catches the event. But places the cursor in the start after the handler is executed. Any fix for this?
Im using the highlightjs for highlighting something, which is within the code tag with the content-editable option set to true.

//Callback:
$('code.steps').unbind("input").bind("input", function(){
  hljs.highlightBlock($('code.steps')[0]);

Looks like we have a Gotham City Sirens reunion with the 100% cotton Gotham City Sirens Women's T-Shirt! I'm really kind of surprised they haven't made a movie yet that stars Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman...maybe like the 'Hangover'? No? Well, that's okay because the Gotham City Sirens Women's T-Shirt is still really awesome! Cream colored and super soft, this t-shirt is perfect for fans of Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, clothing, and cell shaded short films on the internet.
This shirt is everything it's described to be. It fits true to size, it's comfy, and I'd love to wear it every single day. That's how much I love it. The detail is fantastic and the colors are brilliant. AWESOME shirt! Now I'm even closer to my three favorite ladies.

UK Pensions Auto Enrolment
Made Simple
Self employed workers and auto enrolment
23rd May 2015 By Paul
Auto enrolment requires employers, once they are in the scheme, to automatically enroll workers into a qualifying pension scheme and make contributions to that scheme for those workers. The workers affected are people aged between 17 and 74 who earned at least £5,824 in the year 2015-2016.
There is a whole array of legislation that surrounds auto enrolment, but the core of the principal is based around the simple notion that more people need to be funding for their retirement. This makes auto enrolment seem simple, but where self-employed are concerned, it's not quite so simple. Thanks to the success of auto enrolment, a significant number of people in the UK are now contributing to a pension scheme who previously weren't and this has given rise to questions that are being asked about the self-employed.
With an estimated 4 million self-employed workers in the UK, this sector of the population is considerable in size. What's more, it is estimated that a only disappointing (slightly over) 1 in 5 self employed people paid into a pension scheme in 2012-2013, which means that the size of this retirement issue multiplies. Against this backdrop, it's not surprising that questions are being raised about where the self-employed fall in the auto enrolment arrangements.
With a significant number of people in the UK operating on a contract basis these days, there is a somewhat hazy line between what constitutes a 'worker' for auto enrolment purposes and what makes someone completely self-employed. Many employers to date have relied on the tax status of people who work with/for them to determine into which category they fall, but it transpires that this simple view is insufficient. Technically speaking an individual that is deemed by HMRC to be self employed for tax purposes could still in fact be a 'worker' under pensions legislation.
The key to differentiating between the two seems to be the distinction between a 'contract for services' and a 'contract of service'. In effect, someone who is working on a self-employed basis, but under a personal contract OF service may well be deemed as a worker and therefore eligible for inclusion within the auto enrolment legislation. All of this said, once again, this factor alone does not appear to be sufficient to determine whether a person is of worker status or not.
So what can you do to check to see if you have included everyone who should be included in auto enrolment?
Here are three key areas that should help:
Has the person in question undertaken a personal contract to perform work or services for you? While this alone is insufficient to point 100% to worker status, this situation would generally deem someone to be a 'worker' and therefore qualify for inclusion in auto enrolment.
If someone has a business undertaking with you whereby they are required to report to you if they plan not to come to work or even if they operate using your premises or equipment, they more than likely qualify for worker status.
If there is mutuality of obligation, then the person is almost certainly of worker status.
So where might you go from here? The first port of call is to identify those people who operate within your business along this hazy line of self-employed and worker status and then to assess their individual situations in detail to ascertain if they are in fact self-employed or a worker.
If you'd like help to demystify the self-employed/worker status of anyone who provides services within your business, why not get in touch? We have a team of experts on hand to help make matters clearer and to guide you on the best way forward.

```

Running with mpi

```bash
$ mpiexec -np 4 python main.py [OPTIONS]
```

Running TribeFlow from other python code:

```
Check the api_singlecore_example.py file
```

Example
-------

**Converting the Trace**

Let's assume we have a trace like the Last.FM trace from [Oscar
Celma](http://www.dtic.upf.edu/~ocelma/MusicRecommendationDataset/lastfm-1K.html).
In this example, each line is of the form:

```bash
userid \t timestamp \t musicbrainz-artist-id \t artist-name \t
musicbrainz-track-id \t track-name
```

For instance:

```bash
user_000001 2009-05-01T09:17:36Z    c74ee320-1daa-43e6-89ee-f71070ee9e8f
Impossible Beings   952f360d-d678-40b2-8a64-18b4fa4c5f8Dois Pólos
```

First, we want to convert this file to our input format. We do this with the
`scripts/trace_converter.py` script. Let's have a look at the options from
this script:

```bash
$ python scripts/trace_converter.py -h
usage: trace_converter.py [-h] [-d DELIMITER] [-l LOOPS] [-r SORT] [-f FMT]
                          [-s SCALE] [-k SKIP_HEADER] [-m MEM_SIZE]
                          original_trace tstamp_column hypernode_column
                          obj_node_column

positional arguments:
  original_trace        The name of the original trace
  tstamp_column         The column of the time stamp
  hypernode_column      The column of the time hypernode
  obj_node_column       The column of the object node

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DELIMITER, --delimiter DELIMITER
                        The delimiter
  -l LOOPS, --loops LOOPS
                        Consider loops
  -r SORT, --sort SORT  Sort the trace
  -f FMT, --fmt FMT     The format of the date in the trace
  -s SCALE, --scale SCALE
                        Scale the time by this value
  -k SKIP_HEADER, --skip_header SKIP_HEADER
                        Skip these first k lines
  -m MEM_SIZE, --mem_size MEM_SIZE
                        Memory Size (the markov order is m - 1)
```

The positional (obrigatory) arguments are:

   * *original_trace* is the input file
   * *hypernode_column* represents the users (called hypernodes since it can
     be playlists as well)
   * *tstamp_column* the column of the time stamp
   * *obj_node_column* the objects of interest

We can convert the file with the following line:

```bash
python scripts/trace_converter.py scripts/test_parser.dat 1 0 2 -d$'\t' \
        -f'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ' > trace.dat
```

Here, we are saying that column 1 are the timestamps, 0 is the user, and 2 are the
objects (artist ids). The delimiter *-d* is a tab. The time stamp format is
`'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ'`.

***Adding memory***

Use the -m argument to increase the burst (B parameter in the paper) size.

```bash
python scripts/trace_converter.py scripts/test_parser.dat 1 0 2 -d$'\t' \
        -f'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ' -m 3 > trace.dat
```

**Learning the Model**

The example below is the same code used for every result in the paper. It runs
TribeFlow with the options used in every result in the paper. Explaining the
parameters:

   * *-np 20* Number of cores for execution.
   * *100* topics.
   * *output.h5* model file.
   * *--kernel eccdf* The kernel heuristic for inter-event time estimation. ECCDF
     based as per described on the paper. We also have a t-student kernel.
   * *--residency_priors 1 99* The priors for the inter-event time estimation.
   * *--leaveout 0.3* Number of transitions to leaveout.
   * *--num_iter 2000* Number of iterations.
   * *--dynamic True* Try and find the number of latent spaces from the data
   * *--num_batches 20* Number of split/merge moves.

*The example below uses 20 cores*
```bash
$ mpiexec -np 20 python main.py trace.dat 100 output.h5 \
    --kernel eccdf --residency_priors 1 99 --dynamic True \
    --leaveout 0.3 --num_iter 2000 --num_batches 20
```

**What if I don't want to explore inter-event times? Like Tribeflow-nt in the paper?**

Use the noop kernel

```bash
mpiexec -np 20 python main.py trace.dat 100 output.h5 \
    --kernel noop \
    --leaveout 0.3 --num_iter 2000
```

Notice that this line does not use *--dynamic* nor *--num_batches*. They are useless
and may lead to strange results in this case.

**Predictions**

The mean reciprocal rank script will generate predictions and save them to the
given files. Just run:

```bash
$ PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/mrr.py output.h5 rss.dat predictions.dat
```

`output.h5` is the model trained.

**Other useful scripts**

Similar to the script above, you can use the scripts:

1. `view_topics.py` to print a summary of the topics with most likely objects
2. `printmat.py` to print either an O by O matrix or a Z by Z matrix
3. `plotmat-toyplot.py` to generate the Z by Z matrix in the ISMIR jazz paper
4. `fancyplot.py` to generate the Miles Davis plot in the ISMIR jazz paper

Datasets
========

Below we have the list of datasets explored on the paper. We also curated links
to various other timestamp datasets that can be exploited by TribeFlow and
future efforts.

Datasets used on the paper:

1. [LastFM-1k](http://www.dtic.upf.edu/~ocelma/MusicRecommendationDataset/lastfm-1K.html)
2. [LastFM-Our](https://www.dropbox.com/s/49utmj05rmv55wz/lastfm_groups.dat.gz?dl=0)
3. [FourSQ](https://archive.org/details/201309_foursquare_dataset_umn)
    This dataset was removed from the original website. Still available on
    archive. Other, more recent, FourSQ datasets are available. See below.

A soothing toasty and buttery flavor is the culmination of the perfectly aged tobaccos of the Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Churchill. A master at his craft, Rocky never ceases to amaze with his marvelous lineup of extraordinary cigars. Packaged in a box of 20.
Just started smoking RP and liking what I've been getting so far. You just don't hear too many bad reviews for these smokes and I know why.
Great draw, even burn that got better with every draw. Excellent smoke, nothing bad to say about it.
The rocky patel vintage 1999 is a delicious creamy Connecticut wrappered premium cigar. Great for a night out or special occasion.
Well made cigar, but not as smooth as I want a Connecticut to be. A little harsh and bitter. It may work for some, not me.
I bought one of these at a liquor store when we were camping. I have heard great things about RP. I wasn't really impressed though. I didn't taste any flavors in it, the wrapper split apart as I smoked it throughout the whole stick, and not only did it keep going out but it also had a couple spots that were wrapped to tightly that made it almost impossible to smoke.
Hand rolled by "First Shift"
Good aroma and draw....that's it. Splintered ash, uneven burn, unraveling of wrapper at several spots throughout and lack of flavor. Not for me.
Disappointing. Love RP other vintages (2003, 1990, 1992). Can never get through more than half before I'm bored as the flavor never changes and just seems to go flat. I enjoy other mild cigars, just not this one.
This stick is mild and easy to smoke. It is a great smoke for anytime of day. I found some inconsistencies (Burn) in different ones but overall the burn is good. This is a good cigar. Must buy when the cost is low.
Rockey does it again. Another amazing cigar. Flawless construction and a smooth easy smoke. Cedar and creamy spice. Mild body and a delight to smoke.
This is not my favorite cigar but I would never turn one down. I don't get any of the flavors others are noticing.

Law firms face new challenges marketing their organizations. Online competition is fierce, suggesting lawyers need to consider going beyond the basics to garner a greater share of the potential client pool in their area. But, what steps really need to be taken in order to attract prospective clients with a law firm's website?
Website advertising is, in many ways, no different than any other form of advertising. Before spending a great deal of money on a website that doesn't deliver the desired results, start with the basics. A preliminary step many organizations disregard is developing goals and determining what steps are necessary to achieve those goals. Search engine optimization (SEO) experts routinely agree law firms, like other businesses, need to determine what their short- and long-term goals are before spending money on a website.
SEO professionals don't all have the expertise to develop and maintain websites for law firms. While generic designs are commonly used by some law firms, every category of business has unique characteristics setting it apart from other types of businesses. That's why law firms need an ally who understands the nuances of lawyers' websites and what types of design features are likely to provide the return on investment expected.
While some websites are too garish, others are too plain. SEO experts focusing on websites for attorneys understand there's a balance that must be found between garish and bland for a site to attract potential clients. By working closely with SEO professionals, lawyers can define their needs and let the design experts take it from there. If changes prove to be needed, the site designers can make any modifications needed.
Most law firms tend to deal with local clients rather than those in distant cities. That means the SEO efforts need to focus on attracting potential clients in the immediate area. SEO experts routinely explain to clients that specific strategies must be implemented to attract local clients. That's done using location-specific keywords and keyword phrases as well as other tools necessary for sites to get to that all-important first page of results when potential clients search for an attorney.
Local SEO professionals understand how the algorithms used by Google and the other search engines work and encourage clients to use content the search engines want to see. Google emphatically demands websites be relevant and easy to navigate. They also demand that a site's content be updated frequently. The question then becomes, how can that best be accomplished?
First, the rules are always changing, which means a site that ranks highly today might well flounder next month if search engine ranking techniques change. That's why a "one-and-done" approach to building a website simply doesn't work anymore. Updating is vital to retain a high ranking, and there are some excellent strategies for staying on top of the rankings.
However, SEO experts working with attorneys recommend their clients don't adopt strategies they won't be able to keep up with. That means refreshing content must be done religiously to obtain the best results. SEO professionals work closely with clients to tailor their sites to best meet their needs and capabilities.
The very way people communicate and do business is evolving rapidly. Tools like email are still used but are rapidly being supplanted by social media. Facebook is, of course, one of the top social media sites, but Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr and a host of others are also popular and should be considered as a valuable tool for attorneys seeking new clients.
Not all social media sites are ideal for attracting specific types of clients. The trends are rapidly changing, which means the use of social media must be carefully tailored to meet a specific client's needs. That's only one area where the expertise of SEO professionals is vitally important.
Top SEO experts will always discuss link-building strategies with clients, as solid links to relevant sites are a great tool for expanding a firm's exposure in a specific area. Since poor-quality links can actually damage the credibility of a site and threaten its search engine rankings, this isn't a task to take lightly. Professionals understand how to create effective links to enhance a site's value.
Successful sites for law firms generally include quite a bit of content. Some content will always be better at meeting the firm's goals while other content may need to be improved or replaced. The only way to determine how a site can be improved is to take advantage of SEO reporting and analytics. That's another reason working with SEO experts is crucial, as doing so provides access to the data needed to truly grasp what elements of a site work and which ones don't.
When a problem is identified, SEO professionals work with clients to explore alternatives that could improve the site's performance and, at the same time, the firm's bottom line. For example, users are rapidly transitioning to using portable devices rather than laptop or desktop computers. If a site isn't mobile-friendly, those users are likely to quickly move on to a site that is. Analytics help to identify many types of issues that can negatively impact a site, which allows site owners to take steps to eliminate those issues.
Local SEO provides a solution for lawyers searching for ways to enhance their businesses. Quality websites are definitely a way to accomplish that objective, but developing a site that will rank at the top of the search engines isn't a simple process. We're here to make the process easier both today and as client demands change in the future. To get started, contact our team of experts today.

Five Reasons for optimism with Rutgers football
A two-part series looking at hope and concern for the program moving forward.
By Aaron Breitman@aaron_breitman Nov 30, 2021, 8:04am EST
Share All sharing options for: Five Reasons for optimism with Rutgers football
Marc Lebryk-USA TODAY Sports
The 2021 season is officially over for Rutgers football after finishing with a 5-7 record. Now it's time to start assessing the state of this team with five reasons for optimism and five reasons for pessimism for next season. Below are five reasons for optimism and click here for the five reasons for pessimism.
Gavin Wimsatt has one season under his belt
The highest quarterback recruit in program history only played in three games and while he wasn't able to replicate the impact he made in his one play debut in the win over Illinois, having him on the team this season should benefit his development. He traveled to road games, was in communication with an assistant during games and got almost three months of practice time in.
If Rutgers wants to take the next step as an offense next season, it's hard to envision how that would be possible without Wimsatt taking the reigns and making an impact. While his usage was a bit questionable, it's clear that Greg Schiano and Sean Gleeson operated all season with Wimsatt in front of mind in regard to decision making. He is in a much better position to lead the offense next season because of his early arrival compared to his original plan of 2022.
2022 recruiting class holding strong
Speaking of Wimsatt, another benefit of his early arrival has helped to keep the 2022 recruiting class pretty much intact. While 4-star Davison Igbinosun did decommit this fall, Rutgers is still in the mix. Most importantly, four other 4-stars have remained committed to in linebackers Moses Walker and Anthony Johnson, offensive tackle Jacob Allen and running back Samuel Brown. So have high 3-star recruits Kenny Fletcher and Rashad Rochelle. The staff was even able to flip Q'yaeir Price from Syracuse mid-season.
Even without Wimsatt included in the 2022 class rankings, the group is currently ranked 22nd nationally and 5th in the Big Ten. Most are expected to enroll in January and that will be a huge plus for the program to have the best class potentially ever from a rankings perspective getting started right away.
Young contributors on defense
While the defense is losing top contributors in Olakunle Fatukasi and Julius Turner, this unit saw a good amount of young talent emerge this season. Max Melton, although he missed time due to a suspension and injury, was a playmaker and led the team with 3 interceptions. Kyonte Hamilton and Aaron Lewis along the defensive line, Tyreem Powell and Khayri Banton at linebacker, as well as Robert Longerbeam and Alijah Clark, who missed most of the second half of the season due to injury, showed flashes in extended action this fall. A dozen first or second year players gained experience this season for the defense and give this unit a good base to build from beginning next season.
One more year for Adam Korsak
The Ray Guy Award finalist is officially returning next season and that is huge news for Rutgers. He is a true weapon in special teams and has now gone two plus seasons with 122 punt attempts without a touchback. Rutgers broke an NCAA record with a net punting average of 45.34 per attempt this season. He can change momentum and flip the field in a way that most cannot. Korsak is special and the fact that he can return next season is huge for special teams play.
Offense can only go up
If Rutgers can win five games with an offense that struggled all season, imagine what they can accomplish with an average one. The Scarlet Knights only averaged 13.6 points per game against ten power five teams and still won three due to limiting turnovers and strong defensive play. It's a formula that worked somewhat but without any big play potential, RU struggled to stay in games most of the time. As has been the case for years, the defense wears down in the second half against Big Ten competition because the offense is unable to sustain drives.
Stabilizing the offensive line, finding playmakers and developing Wimsatt at QB are necessary steps for this unit to improve next season. While the offense was even worse during the late stages of the Chris Ash era, this season felt like the bottom for this current coaching staff. While offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson was questioned by his play calling at times this season, another year of development and working in players at a higher talent level should move the needle forward next season and beyond.

Did this ride just as a route between two spots on a 2 week trip, glad I did.
Luckily I live 25 Miles from the Visitor Center at LBL so I can go often. There are always new things to see and experience with the changing of the seasons. The only thing that keeps Me from giving this 5 stars is that I have ridden in West Virginia and most other roads pale by comparison.

Profile of Jia Qinglin - CPPCC chairman
BEIJING -- From religious leaders to Hong Kong business tycoons, from Tibetan herdsmen to lawyers in foreign companies, people would be attracted to him right from shaking hands with the smiling tall man.
"You can feel his passion, candidness and modesty in his long-lasting and powerful handshake with you," his contacts say.
Jia Qinglin, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), was elected chairman of China's top political advisory body, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), on the second term here Thursday.
Jia is known among non-Communist party members for his superb ability in pulling the wisdom of people from different sectors. Clear-minded and sharp-thinking, he has an outstanding capability in commanding the overall situation in a highly complicated circumstance with a down-to-earth and rigorous manner.
Promote Development
Founded in 1949, the CPPCC is a key mechanism for multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the CPC. Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Deng Yingchao, Li Xiannian and Li Ruihuan were successively chairpersons of the CPPCC National Committee.
During his five-year tenure as chairman of the 10th CPPCC National Committee, Jia Qinglin, with a down-to-earth and steady working style, has set promoting development of the country as the top agenda for the CPPCC through encouraging suggestions from political advisors to contribute to the country's development.
The CPPCC National Committee handled over 23,000 proposals, compiled over 100 reports on inspection tours and submitted over 270 survey and research reports in the past five years.
Among them, the suggestions about promoting the development of the western region, rejuvenating northeast China and other old industrial bases and boosting the development of the central region resulted in the perfection of the overall strategy of the nation's regional development.
Over the past five years, Jia went to Caofeidian in Tangshan of China's north Hebei Province, where the Capital Iron and Steel Company was relocated, to research its development and environment protection measures. His footsteps also landed in China's west Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to access the latest situation of Beibu Bay economic zone.
He also encouraged political advisors to provide proposals for the government in addressing emerging problems in education, employment, health care and social security to improve people's livelihood.
The adjustment of the government's policies in reducing the price of train tickets during the Spring Festival, the drop in interest rate of personal savings deposit, safeguarding basic interests of migrant workers and improving social security system, all proved contributions of political advisors.
During the annual parliamentary and political advisory meetings, Jia always joined discussions with political advisors from Hong Kong and Macao and listened to their proposals with patience, encouraging them to contribute to the prosperity and stability of their respective regions.
"Feel at home here at the CPPCC," he always said to political advisors from Hong Kong and Macao. Jia also attached great importance to promote the reunification of the country by strengthening contacts with political parties, organizations and people from all walks of life on the island of Taiwan.
Through participating in important activities across the Taiwan Straits, he urged political advisors to join hands with Taiwan people in opposing and containing separatist activities aimed at "Taiwan independence".
In addition, he paid seven overseas visits in the past five years to 25 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America to conduct active, prudent and steady communication and cooperation with related institutions and organizations abroad and to further expand friendly foreign contacts.

Q: Improve query performance when joining on a linked server table Unfortunately as a temporary measure whilst we fix our datacentre I need to run the following cross server query, can anyone suggest how I can get the performance to increase...
as have to run this statement at the start of a cursor
SELECT t.SearchId, t.VisitSourceId, t.SiteDomainId, t.trpUTMid, t.FlightPlus, t.StartDate,

WHERE tid.trpUTMid IS NULL

A: One possible option would be to get the remote table replicated to the local server. This would put all tables on the same server, enabling the optimizer to use statistics to generate the best plan. Since you are only using trpUTMid, you could just replicate that column.
Another option would be to use temp tables. Same idea, get all tables on the same server:

With potential victims still at risk, Conan and the police are determined to catch the culprit. As the case gradually unfolds, both Conan and his friend Ran Mouri learn more about her parents' separation and the truth on what transpired a decade ago.


Rating 4.7 out of 5 based on 27 reviews.
Great product at a sensible price. Quite easy to install and it works a treat! The flow rate out of the hot tap is much better than I expected, so handwashing is a breeze with the instant hot water instead of waiting ages for the boiler to send it through.
Really happy with this. Used in a log cabin that takes a feed from the mains in the house. Not overly powerful but completely acceptable given the power on the mains feed. It gets nice and warm almost instantly.
Neat little unit. Easy to install. Good water temperature.
Excellent water heater good flow rate.
Excellent, works well and was easily fitted by competent DIYer!
Fantastic product. Takes up hardly any space under the sink, and means we now get hot water in our kitchen within seconds rather than having to run the tap for ages. The water pressure is lower than getting water direct from the boiler, but this means less wasted water, and it's hot enough to wash up in. We have now bought a 3.5kw one to go under our very tiny downstairs toilet sink, and hope this will also do the job.
Very pleased with the previous one I purchased and expect the same great result from this one.
A great heater, much better than expected. You only have to count until three and you have hot water. Brilliant, highly recommended.
I need an under sink water heater for use in a shed that in winter may get below freezing. Does the Perfect 50 come with frost protection, or does it not need it, or would I be advised to drain the heater down before the onset of winter?
This unit is not designed for outdoor use.
Unfortunately this item would not be suitable for what you are needing.
How many liters is the perfect 50?
The Perfect 50 is an instantaneous unit. This means that it produces hot water on demand and doesn't preheat a set amount of water.
This unit is an instant water heater therefore it does not have a tank to hold water. The minimum water pressure this operates from is 1.0 bar. For full product information please click on the PDF under the section on the product page instructions and informational documents to view the full unit instructions.
This unit would be fine for your kitchen sink but you could not wash hair with this unit as it is not powerful enough and would burn the element out as it would be over used. 153822 would be the type of unit required these units power showers and that is the type you would require for washing hair. These need to be spurred in by a qualified plumber and electrician.
Does the unit automatically come on when the basin tap is turned on, or does the unit have to be switched on before using the taps?
The unit automatically comes on when the tap is turned on.
No these units have to be connected to the mains cold feed only.
Figure 2 in the Wijas installation guide suggests I could connect to a ring main. Is this true for the 5kW?
This is not suitable for a ring main as you require special 6mm cable.
This unit is the correct one to comply with your specification for a shower on a single outlet.
How many Amps does the Perfect 50 pull as we live in a caravan and can only draw 30amps max.
If the unit is suppliying a mixer or monobloc tap does it need to have its own cold supply? Thank you.
Only one cold water supply is needed, but you will have to T off from this supply to go to the water heater, to create a supply to the warm tap, and still allowing the same supply to continue to the cold tap. On some Monobloc taps, the cold water may need to be slowed down to balance with the flow rate of the warm water. If you would like more information please call 08000913171.
The instruction manual only shows minimum cross section for 5Kw what is minimum cross section and fuse for 5.5Kw? I want to use this with a basin which has separate hot and cold taps not a mixer tap. Is this suitable?
The minimum stated factory specifications for the 5.5kw Perfect 55 is 23.9A fuse and the appropriate cable for this is a 2.5mm squared cable. However, we recommend you confirm this with a qualified electrician, as individual requirements are different. You can use this water heater to supply water to a separate hot water tap.
This water heater would be suitable to supply water to two hand wash basins. However, if they are to be used at the same time, this will effect the flow rate (but not the temperature) going to each sink. If this is not suitable for your needs, please see product codes 107638 or 228763, which are suitable for multiple outlets.
Is the product suitable for a small (25ft) boat? Is a minimum water pressure required?
Unfortunately this would not be suitable for a small boat. This water heater is mains cold water feed only. The minimum water pressure required is 0.75BAR (or 10psi).
Do you know if these are legionella compliant?
Legionella bacteria need a continuous temperature of between 20 and 50 degrees in stored water to grow. As the instantaneous water heaters do not have any water storage, there is no risk of the Legionella bacteria to grow.
Can I connect 2 sinks to one of these units? Unlikely both taps used at once and no problem if they are and water is only Luke warm. Sinks are one metre apart.
We would recommend two heaters, one per tap/basin. However, one could be connected to two basins if only one basin was used at a time.
what is the flow rate at it's hottest if running continuously ?
The flow rate at its hottest temperature (64 degrees Celsius) is 1.5L per minute.
How does the unit cope with hard water? Do I need to fit a descaler or does it not get hot enough to be a problem?
This instant water heater copes extremely well with hard water. Because it doesn\'t keep stored water at high temperatures, there is no water evapouration involved, therefore no limescale build up.
Yes, this water heater can be used to wash dishes in a sink. However, this is for light use only.
I have a log cabin in my garden and want to put a sink in it with warm/hot water to wash up in. Would this water heater do the job?
As long as the log cabin has mains electricity and mains water, the water heater will be suitable.
Can I fit this to any bathroom sink tap?
You cannot use this water heater with thermostatic sink taps. Standard taps, including mixer taps, can be used.
I want to change my old under sink water heater in the kitchen & want to know if your units allow us to use normal taps. Currently ours has a long spindle going down into the hot water pipe & this is a pain.
This water heater can be used with normal taps. You can use either a separate hot and cold tap or a mixer tap (not thermostatic).
This would need to be wired into a juction and reduced to 4mm 2.5 cable.
Building a tinyhouse would,would the 55 be suitable under the sink,water fed via 12v submerged pump in water tank.
This would be suitable if your pump had the power to deliver at least 1 bar of pressure.
Please note that an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) pump would not be adequate for this water heater.
It is in the centre of the unit between the connections.
No. Your cold water will stay the same.
As this is an instant water heater and does not hold any water, an expansion vessel is not required.
What is the maximum water pressure for this unit. Will it cope with being fitted close to the mains supply?
The maximum water pressure for this unit is 10 bar. The unit can be fitted close to the mains supply.

Q: Index error in query in Firebase I'm having trouble setting up a search query within my Firebase database. I put the rules all the way of my search, but I always get the index error.
Below is my structure:

My Firebase database structure:

My query:
https://zoome-production-users.firebaseio.com/country.json?orderBy="fullname"&equalTo="Vitor Darela"

Erro:

{
      "error": "Index not defined, add \".indexOn\": \"fullname\", for path \"/country\", to the rules"
  }

A: In your REST call, you run a query on /country in your database. This query inspects each direct child node of /country to see if it matches your filter. In your JSON data /country/AD does not have a property fullname, so the query will not return anything. Even if you were to add the index that the error message tells you about, it will not return anything.
The query you are trying to do is not possible with your current data structure. You will need to modify your data structure to allow it. It seems that you're trying to to find the countries that have a user with a certain name. To allow that query, add an additional data structure that holds precisely that:
"countries_by_fullname": {
  "Vitor Darela": {
    "AD": true
  }
}

With this additional structure you can find the list of countries by simply reading /countries_by_fullname/Vitor Darela.

There's an old saying that "rules were made to be broken." There are a host of rules or guidelines in photography. They are there to help photographers compose an image in the best way possible. Some we have covered in this very blog circle in the past.
Rule of thirds, leading lines, framing, patterns, balance, and negative space are just some of the guidelines used to compose a great image. But how do you know when to "break" a rule on purpose? It's not always easy.
Maybe a good way to start is by saying that every photographer has their own style and vision. I admire many pet photographers who use different techniques to achieve their imagery. For instance, wide angle distortion has become popular in pet photography. So much so, you see it everywhere, and used by many. Yet, years ago, wide angle distortion was avoided for portrait work. Whimsical doggy faces with large noses are some of the things that make me smile. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
We, as photographers, sometimes have to decide what looks best for a certain photo and what tells the best story. As a pet photographer, I can tell you that we may find ourselves, at times, in not so great conditions (a wet field where we thought it would be dry, a rainy day when the forecast was sunny, etc.). At those times, whether it be through post-processing or the images as they are taken, we are constantly working to give the client the best images possible for any given situation.
While I try to steadfastly follow the rules where my clients are concerned, I do enjoy doing things a little differently with my own pets. For this week, I picked a few rules to break for very specific reasons. Let's see what you think.
Goodness gracious, it's Harry. Like we haven't seen him before. He really wants me to let him in the house and can't for the life of him figure out why I am taking his picture instead.
The usual guideline is to try to have the subject facing the middle in a situation like this, or to have enough space beyond Harry's face to suggest he is going somewhere. But if I had done that with this image, and we already know Harry wants to go IN and not SOMEWHERE, the image would not have told the correct story. So I cropped the photo to show that Harry wants in that door.
Same kitty. Now frustrated that I am still with the camera and not letting him in. See that scowl. It's a very real thing. This time I put Harry in the center of the photo (which, under the guidelines, is not usually desirable). Normally I would try for a photo where he might be more to the left of this image, with more open space to the right of the image. But I learned a few things while photographing Harry...(a) he's put on a little weight over the Winter months; (b) my front door needs to be painted; and (c) there's too many things on my front porch for photos (flower pots, stone bunnies for Easter, etc.).
If I had moved Harry more to the left of this image and opened up the right, the focus on him would have been lost. It's also why I turned the photo black and white (and added a little bit of grunge to kitty)--to take the focus away from any color and just put it all on Harry.
Now below is something I almost NEVER do.
I don't tilt my camera at odd angles, because I am OCD about straight horizons. The guideline people would really love me. This is Moe, enjoying one of the first really sunny and warm days we have had since the Winter. I know his expression doesn't suggest he is hanging on for dear life because someone tipped the earth and he is going to slide off, but for a while I could not even bring myself to edit this photo, because I had to turn my head completely sideways to be happy.
Now that I have looked at it for a while, it has kind of grown on me. (Okay, not really.) This type of angled photography is very popular among wedding photographers. I have seen some great images of brides throwing their bouquet in an angled photograph. But I think I will stick to straight horizons.
See...isn't this better? Moe has not changed his position at all. I have. With my camera. And all is right with the world.
To see what other rules have been broken, take a hop around the blog circle. Start with BARKography by Kim Hollis in Charlotte, North Carolina, then work your way through the rest of the circle until you are once again back here. As always, thanks for reading the blog, and to those who celebrate, Happy Easter!
Great examples of rule breaking for a reason with Harry! Also, I love that you went outside your comfort zone with the tilted horizon.
LOL - I am the exact same about horizons. I know some photographers find it artistic to tilt the subject and horizon but I find it so distracting. It almost makes me physically uncomfortable - ha.
First, I love that door color! Wowza!
Beautiful kitty images, too. I really love the composition of your first shot and the way the colors just pop against each other.
Great examples of breaking the rules. I'm OCD also about a straight horizon!
These are great! I"m one who loves "slant".... i don't dare ever post where someone says "straighten the horizon"... haha! Love the 2nd image! And what a great color door! Love it!!!

Pansexual MP Layla Moran announces Liberal Democrat leadership bid
By Matt Moore
If successful, she'll be the first openly LGBTQ leader of a political party in England.
Layla Moran, who became Britain's first openly pansexual MP earlier this year, has announced her candidacy for the Liberal Democrat leadership race. The party needs a new leader after former leader Jo Swinson lost her seat in the 2019 General Election.
Announcing her candidacy on Sophy Ridge on Sunday, Layla said: "I believe it's time that we move on as a party and offer a positive vision for the country, and I'm the right person to lead that change.
"I've been up and down the country listening to voters about what went wrong in the election, partly, but also asking them questions about what they think of us, because I think it's really important that we listen and understand where we've been going wrong."
She highlighted the party's stance on revoking Article 50, and Swinson's claims that the Liberal Democrats would be the party of government, despite only having 21 MPs at the time, as reasons for their failure in the election.
She continued, saying that people from all around the country had been saying their biggest issues were equality of opportunity, education, the climate crisis and ending the tribalism that dominates politics.
UK Parliament / Jessica Taylor
If Layla is elected as the leader of the Liberal Democrats, she'd be the first openly LGBTQ leader for a party across the United Kingdom. The Scottish Conservatives and Labour have previously elected Ruth Davidson and Kezia Dugdale respectively as their leaders, both of whom identify as lesbian.
Meanwhile, the Welsh party Plaid Cymru is currently led by a gay man, Adam Price, and the Scottish Green Party is led by Patrick Harvie, who identifies as bisexual.
The Liberal Party, the predecessor to the Liberal Democrats was previously led by Jeremy Thorpe, who who gay, but wasn't open at the time and was forced to resign after it emerged that he'd attempted to get his former lover, model Norman Scott, assassinated.
Layla came out as pansexual earlier this year ahead of tabloid reports that were going to out her. She posted on Twitter: "2020 is a new decade and a new path in my journey. Last year I fell in love with a wonderful woman. Something I'd never even considered before. Now I am just happy."
Currently, the only other contender for the leadership is Wera Hobhouse, the party's Energy Spokesperson. However, the New Statesman reports that Christine Jardine, the party's Home Office, Women and Equalities Spokesperson will announce her candidacy at a later date.
Other possible contenders are the newly elected St Albans MP, Daisy Cooper, and Sir Ed Davey, who is currently serving as the party's Acting Leader and during the coalition government of 2010-2015 was the Energy and Climate Change Secretary.

You'll probably have a chance to buy them. I got one just in case since i'm on the other side of the world. They are hard tickets though, so maybe a bit harder to buy online.
Anyone know maybe the price ?

Snippets of Jack: "You Knew My Father"
#Flashbackfriday! Ok, not really. This isn't twitter or instagram. (Speaking of which you should really follow us at @snippetsofjack). Regardless, we are still going back in time to when Will didn't know who his father was. Jack breaks the news to him in a rather harsh way in The Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. They miraculously make it off of Tortuga alive on thier own ship, the HMS Interceptor. Men really bond when they are forced to man a whole ship on their own. Will: "When I was a lad living in England, my mother raised me by herself. After she died, I came out here, looking for father." That's actually when we first see Will. He's a little boy on a ship with his father's piece of gold around his neck. The Black Pearl under Barbossa attacked his ship on the way out to find it, but ended up leaving with out it, not knowing Will had it.
Jack is really intirgued by Will's life story, NOT. Jack: "Is that so?" But Will isn't willing to drop the subject. Will: "My father, Bill Turner? It was only after you learned my name that you agreed to help. Since that's what I wanted, I didn't press the matter. I'm not a simpleton, Jack. You knew my father." No, I am your father! Heehee. Imagine being the son of Jack Sparrow. Wouldn't that be nice. Seeing as he can't get out of this one, Jack reluctantly carries on the conversation. Jack: "I knew him. Probably one of the few who knew him as William Turner. Everyone else called him 'Bootstrap' or 'Bootstrap Bill'." Will is confused: "Bootsrap?" What kind of a nickname is that? It's a pirate one I tell you! Jack: "Good man. Good pirate. I swear, you look just like him." It's so like Jack to add that little phrase after it to try to lighten the mood.
Now it's Will's turn to not really feel it. Will: "It's not true. He was a merchant sailor." THe irony here is great. Boy who hates pirates is actually the son of one! I wonder if Beckett is the son of a pirate too. Just kidding, we alreayd discussed how his father was a jerk buisness dude. Will: "A good, respectable man who obeyed the law." How exactly would ynou know. Unfortunately, you have no memory of him. Jack rolls his eyes in annoyance. I'm really feeling the friendship bonding here. Jack: "He was a bloody pirate, a scallywag." Considering Will is actually currently teamed up with a pirate, I'm not so sure how hte cant talk about how pirates should be avoided at all costs. Will just takes things to a whole new level. He pulls out his sword angrily and points it at Jack, who is actually steering the ship. Kinda dangerous . . .
Will: "My father was not a pirate!" Jack is just exasperated. Jack: "Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again." Will: "you didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of enagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you." It's true. Will certainly does have quite the skill with a blade. Jack: "That's not incentive for me to fight fair, is it?" Another true point to Captain Jack Sparrow! Jack is done with this and would like to get to Tortuga quickly without any more interruptions so he turns the wheel abruptly which makes the mast turn sharply, hitting Will and making him dangle over the open sea. Jack is going to assert his power once and for all! Jack: "As long as you're just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance, you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man, or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that someday."
Oh turst me he does. Especially when he bcomes a pirate and ends up meeting his pirate father! Then they end up both being pirates together on the Flying Dutchman, but in the mean time Will is still in denial. Jack: "Now, me, or example, I can let you drown, but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies. Savvy? So." He uses the wheel to bring Will back on board. Will falls on his back onto the deck. Jack puts his sword out above Will's chest. Jack: "Can you sail under the command of a pirate?" He flips the sword around so that he is holding the blade (ouch) and the handle is extended towards young Turner. Will timidly accepts the sword. Will: "Tortuga?" Will: "Tortuga." Because you're not really a pirate until you've enjoyed the "beauties" of the not-so-lovely port of Tortuga.
BTW, what is your thought on Will Turner possibly returning to POTC5? From what I've seen on the web, people are mixed on if it should happen or not. Though I somehow think he shouldn't come back because he had to serve aboard the Dutchman for eternity, or something like that.
Sorry if this is off-topic but I'm curious.
I think that his addition would make the final installment all the more epic! He could always be still on the Flying Dutchman. Thank you so much for your interest!
-Do Something Jack Would Do Today.


No! Ancient Atlanta was more than just a Delta hub. It was a vibrant metropolis-- the equal of Paris or New York. That's right, honey. Whatever you say. Look at these fabulous ruins-- Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant the, uh... the airport.

2008 Hispanic Registered Voters Survey
by William E. Wright, AARP Knowledge Management, AARP Research, August 29, 2008 | Comments: 0
This and Related Reports
Report Home
Executive Summary (PDF)
AARP recently commissioned a nationwide survey of registered Hispanic voters to ascertain their views on participation in the 2008 presidential election, problems facing the country, and role of Hispanic voters in the election.
This executive summary presents key findings, which include the following:
A clear majority (54%) of Hispanic registered voters say that Latino voters will play a larger role than in past years in deciding the 2008 presidential election. One-third say the role of Hispanic voters will be no different in this year's presidential election than it was in the past.
A large majority (82%) of respondents say they are almost certain to vote in the November 2008 presidential election. Only 4 percent say they will not vote, and 13 percent say they are more or less likely to vote.
Nearly 6 in 10 (59%) Hispanic voters indicate that they have already decided whom to vote for, whereas 4 in 10 are still undecided.
Three-quarters of respondents support their preferred presidential candidate strongly, including 57 percent who are very strong in their support. Strong supporters are disproportionately higher income (83%), Democrats (83%), and liberals (85%).
Almost 8 in 10 (79%) of the registered Hispanic voters believe that the country is seriously off on the wrong track, whereas only 13 percent think things in this country are going in the right direction.
The study was conducted for AARP by Woelfel Research, Inc., an independent research company. Interviews were conducted from May 29 to June 5, 2008, among a nationally representative sample of 600 Hispanic registered voters ages 18 and older.
