Big effort: Rebel Nick Phipps is congratulated by teammates after scoring a try against the Crusaders last night. Photo: Getty Images
THE Melbourne Rebels last night pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season when they came from behind to defeat the most storied side in Super Rugby, the Crusaders, in a thrilling encounter at AAMI Park.
They kept the Kiwi titans scoreless for the entire second half to run out winners 28-19.
Scrum half Nick Phipps scored two tries, and Stirling Mortlock, off the bench as a second-half substitute, rolled back the years to dive over and clinch a momentous triumph in front of 18,423 joyous fans who could have dreamt, but scarcely hoped, for such an outcome.
Much had been made of the Rebels' terrific display against one of the sport's powerhouse franchises eight days earlier, when they went down narrowly to the Bulls in front of their own fans.
The talk throughout the week was that game might, just might, have been the kind of performance that marked a coming of age for Super Rugby's newest franchise.
So what if the odds were against them? What better chance would the Rebels get than to build a legacy by following up against the Crusaders, stacked, as they are, with All Blacks and two of the sport's biggest names in Richie McCaw and Dan Carter.
With Kurtley Beale controlling the tempo of their attacks and linking well with Phipps, the hosts mounted a series of early attacks that pinned the New Zealanders back in their own half, reducing them to scrambling defence and last-gasp challenges to keep the Australians at bay.
But grim defence can only be sustained for so long, and eventually the Crusaders' wall was breached when Phipps went over in the 11th minute for his second try in a fortnight.
Beale took the extras and the Rebels' plan seemed to be working well.
But against a team of such talent and experience as the Crusaders, it is impossible to relax.
Time and again men such as McCaw and Carter have shown at the highest levels of the sport that all they need is a chink, a lapse in concentration or lack of discipline by their opponents, to be able to inspire their team against whatever confronts them.
The Rebels were unable to cash in on their attacking pressure and slowly but surely the wily Crusaders ground their way back into this game, assisted by some cheaply conceded penalties by a Rebels team whose discipline let them down at a handful of critical junctures.
Tom Taylor, who has taken over the kicking duties at the Crusaders, is in fine form and he got his side back into the contest by booting two penalties to reduce the gap to a point, although the Rebels were able to stretch it to four when Beale kicked a penalty.
The Crusaders got the break they were hoping for when they got clear down the left and despite an heroic tackle by Hugh Pyle to deny Tom Marshall, Luke Whitelock was able to pick up the ball and go over in the corner.
Taylor's conversion made it 13-10 in the blink of an eye and the lead was lost.
Having had so much of the game it could have been morale-sapping for the home team to go to the interval 19-10 behind but the resilient Rebels came out firing in the second period. They monopolised possession and dominated the game.
Beale reduced the deficit with a penalty to make it 19-13 to the Kiwis, and with 20 minutes to go the hosts were closing in.
Last year the new boys would surely have come up short.
But this second-season side is made of sterner stuff and Phipps triggered unbridled delight in the stands when he gleefully received Mark Gerrard's pass to score his second try of the night. The extra points put the hosts into a shock lead.
Mortlock made it a night the Rebels will never forget when he intercepted the ball and played a one-two with Cooper Vuna.
The Rebels, with their latest two performances, are building the tradition that they hope will ultimately give them the platform to one day become challengers themselves.

Organic India - Tulsi Tea Original - 18 Tea Bags
Organic India Original Tulsi Tea is a perfect blend of three varieties of Tulsi leaves. Three sacred varieties of Tulsi with potent restorative powers are blended to create this delicious, calming, yet energizing tea with hints of lemon and citrus from Vana Tulsi, the slightly spicy tones of Krishna Tulsi, and the calm depth of Rama Tulsi.
Organic India Tulsi Features
The Tulsi Story: India's "Queen of Herbs"For more than 5000 years Tulsi (also known as Holy Basil) has been considered India's "Queen of Herbs" and has been revered as one of the most sacred herbs in India, infused with healing power. Hindus view Tulsi (also spelled Tulasi or Thulasi) as a goddess in the form of a plant bestowed with great spiritual and healing powers. According to legend, no amount of gold could outweigh Krishna's power, but a single Tulsi leaf placed on the pan in loving devotion tilted that scale. In India today, Tulsi is still traditionally grown in an earthenware pot in every family home or garden, and the leaves are used to make a delicious and refreshing tea that possesses wonderful health benefits.
As Tulsi traveled west along the early trade routes from the Orient to Europe, it became known to the Christians as "sacred" or "holy" basil as is reflected in its Latin botanical name, Ocimum sanctum. They hailed Tulsi as "The King of Herbs' instead of as a queen, and Holy Basil became routinely included in legends, offerings and worship rituals and was looked on by many as a gift of Christ.
Modern research has classified Tulsi as an adaptogenic herb. Adaptogens have been shown to support the body's natural immune system while relieving the body's negative reaction to stress. Adaptogenic herbs have been used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal medicines for thousands of years to promote and maintain wellness. Many adaptogenic herbs have been referred to by herbalists as rejuvenative herbs, qi tonic herbs, rasayanas or restorative herbs. They help the body adapt to environmental, physical and emotional stressors, support normal functions, and restore balance.
Organic India's Tulsi - Holy Basil Formula and certified organic Tulsi Teas include three varieties of Tulsi leaves: Rama, Vana, and Krishna. Each variety has a slightly different look, taste and smell and when combined, create a perfectly balanced herbal infusion with an array of health benefits including:

Favorite Find Friday: Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45
Written on November 1, 2013 at 11:51 am , by Fitness Magazine
I know everyone claims this, but my skin is super sensitive so I'm careful with my makeup routine as to not disturb—what I like to call—the red-faced monster. That's why I love when skincare companies venture into color because you get the best of both worlds. After some trial and error, I found the perfect match for my skin came in a pretty gold tube labeled Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm with SPF 45 ($39, sephora.com). Its airy texture glides on so smoothly, you can barely feel it, yet it provides enough coverage to mask imperfections. Plus, it has a high level of broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection (a must). I apply it every morning, and especially when I ski because it protects my face from the glare of the sun on the slopes (yet I still look like a fresh-faced snow bunny when I take a break in the lodge with my friends!).

Here's your chance to share a photo of your favorite tractor.
This 1934 Model B is featured in the Art of the John Deere Tractor. Elmer McCormick most likely designed the tractor from a sketch. The Model B was introduced in 1935 and the hood's leaping Deere logo was used on only very few early Model Bs. More than 300,000 of this series were produced between 1935 and 1952, and this example is a first production model.

Would a separation of Science and State help or hinder Innovation and scientific discovery?
For my Bioelectricity class this week, we began reading the Spark of Life, by Frances Ashcroft, and a very interesting historical fact resonated with me: There was an acrimonious debate during the American War of Independence between those who supported Benjamin Franklin´s idea of a pointed tip as a lightning conductor and Benjamin Wilson´s (a British scientist) preference of rounded, low-blunted knobs. What had begun as a scientific spat quickly escalated into a major feud between the British knob and the American spike factions. The Royal Society carried out a series of experiments and concluded that Franklin was in fact correct; however, King George III ordered the Society to reverse its conclusions and to remove pointed spikes from Ordnance buildings. In response, John Pringle, the President of the Society, memorably said, "duty as well as inclination would always induce him to execute his Majesty´s wishes to the utmost of his power, but `Sire [...] I cannot reverse the laws and operations of nature.´"
As seen from this short anecdote, the political environment of the time can greatly affect the research and work of many scientists. We also learned that Max Planck, the father of quantum mechanics, as well as Walther Nernst, were vocal critiques of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. They protested the German treatment of Jewish scientists and helped their colleagues find positions elsewhere.
Today, President Obama has stated, "Whether it´s improving our health or harnessing clean energy, protecting our security or succeeding in the global economy, our future depends on reaffirming America´s role as the world´s engine of scientific discovery and technological innovations." Although a significant amount of scientific research is funded by political institutions, how do you, members of the TED community, feel about a separation of politics and science? Would a separation help or hinder scientific innovation?

Feb 17 2013: Hey Ariel!
I think this question has two really important parts. The first part asks the question of whether or not government involvement (and funding) with scientific research is good for science. I think you made some really valid points, and gave good examples of a time when subjective politics interfered with the objective scientific good. On the other hand, when the government is not the one funding the research, it is up to independent companies to fund and carry out these projects. Most often, what will happen is that companies with vested interests in the results will be the ones doing the studies, and that can be just as, if not more, problematic for the validity of the results published. In reality, it is always difficult to separate the human emotion from the research being conducted, whether it is funded by the state or by independent companies.
The second question that this discussion raised is: is it in the government's best interest to fund research projects? I would have to say yes, that investing in technology, human invention, and all the things that keep our economy moving is something that the government should definitely do. It's hard to argue the contrary when we are currently connecting with one another on the internet, the perfect example of a government-funded scientific endeavor that has paid off more than what we put into it, one that has created countless jobs, and revolutionized the world and world economy as we know it.
Feb 17 2013: Hindi, thank you very much for your well thought out response. I tend to agree with the comments you made. If scientific research was left up to the independent companies, most often, the results published will have issues of validity. However, what if we adopted a regulatory approach to scientific research- similar to the social capitalism we have instituted in our country's economic policy. Strict government regulations and sanctions on institutions of businesses that are part of a "free-trade, laissez-faire style" economy. I realize complete separation between government and research is impossible to attain, but do you think if independents were monitored and regulated it be better than a direct involvement of our government in scientific research? That way, all the problems of validity won't be as pressing.
What are your thoughts?
Lauren BayerFeb 18 2013: Hi Ariel and Hindi,
Ariel you bring up a very interesting and controversial discussion, considering the fact that today the government plays a fundamental role in the scientific world and that most science researchers today would not be able to conduct their laboratories without the help of the government. While it may seem that all of the science research that goes on this country could be funded by private investors, I beg to disagree. I agree with Hindi, that if science research was left up to the private sector alone, the vested interests of the companies funding the research could interfere with the validity of the results - tarnishing the scientific world. Now Ariel, your suggestion to have government regulation of the funding instead of directly funding, is a good suggestion but does not completely solve the problem. By only allowing private companies to fund science research, I believe that many areas of science research would be under-represented. In addition, having the government sponsor science research, provides equal opportunity for all to be involved in science research, and encourages the entire country to be interested in science and making discoveries. In the past fifty years, there has been an exponential amount of scientific discoveries being made in this country, and I think that in a large part has to do with the founding of the NIH and the large role that the government plays in the science research world. I do not believe that private investment of science research, could sustain all of the research facilities in this country, let alone help the US remain up to date in terms of developing technologies compared to the rest of the world.
Feb 18 2013: Let me offer one single point about private funding of, say, academic research effort. I recognize the fallacies of business funding of research project just to promote their products,and selectively uses only the positive result beneficial to them. This should be left for the authority of the business administration bureau to check on the possible false advertising of products by the businesses rather than a blanket prohibition of such funding. In biomedical research which I am familiar with, the stop of such funding is prohibitively costly, and not economically justified. And the amount involved is just too large that it can be handled solely by the government. Remember, the many people are complaining about large governmental debt and too big government. So, the best solution to whether we should fund all the research work by the government or by sharing the funding by both, is not a clear cut choice. Let me quote an old saying: " Don't throwout the baby with the bath water" or the Chinese saying: "Don't starve yourself because of your after-eating hiccups". :)
Feb 20 2013: Hello fellow TED-ers,
I think something Ariel and Hindi both touched on was that private companies being the sole founders of research and development presents problems. However, other than simply affecting validity, there are much more corruption that we need to watch out for! Theres always some new scandalous story about Pharma skewing data or publishing falsified reports in the media.
Ariel mentioned that he hopes that with tighter regulations (as with american economic regulations) researching corporations could "reform their evil ways".However, what remains unsaid, is that there are already such regulations in place! The pharmaceutical industry has had tighter regulation changes than most others in recent years! In spite of these (as we have also seen with big businesses in spite of tight economic regulations following 2008), we continue to see fraud and corruption from Pharma.
In light of these observations, my personal opinion is that science should continue to be funded in part by private entities, because we know that many advances in science and technology come from individual entities with high motivation (and large budgets) AND be funded by government who can sponsor grants and ensure that important projects get the funding they need.

Ranch Projects
Split Season Lease on Dry Cottonwood Creek: In July 2011, we put a split-season water lease into place at Dry Cottonwood Creek Ranch—a pilot project we hope to scale up in future seasons. We shut down our irrigation diversions from Dry Cottonwood Creek and the Clark Fork River during the second half of the summer, which allows 7-10 cubic feet per second (cfs) of water to return to the river, and also connects a westslope cutthroat spawning tributary back to the Clark Fork. This split-season water lease generated income for the ranch, and will hopefully prove to be a model we can replicate elsewhere. We'll continue to monitor in-stream flows and ranching operations through the fall.
Hands on the Ranch: The Coalition recently started its "Hands on the Ranch" program, which connects local high-schoolers to stream monitoring and restoration endeavors underway on the ranch. After rating the overall health of Dry Cottonwood Creek in the fall, students return to the ranch in the spring to plant dozens of riparian plants along riverbanks, giving the creek a fresh start. This program is run in partnership with the Clark Fork Watershed Education Program, the Watershed Restoration Coalition, the Deer Lodge County Conservation District, and Powell County High School. Learn more about Hands on the Ranch.
Riparian Fencing and Improved Livestock Grazing: In 2010, the Coalition worked with other neighboring landowners to install six miles of riparian fencing along Dry Cottonwood Creek. The fencing, a high-tensile, wildlife-friendly electric fence, helps keep cattle away from grazing on the creek and destroying critical riparian habitat. We're also using short-term electric fences to employ "short-term/high intensity" grazing, which encourages rangeland health.
Weed Management: We use sheep and local sheepherders to control noxious weeds that have popped up in neglected or over-grazed areas on the ranch.
Superfund Cleanup: Dry Cottonwood Creek Ranch is preparing for the Superfund cleanup, which will clean up toxic sediments from over 43 river miles in the Upper Clark Fork basin. In late 2010, contractors with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) began digging test pits on the Coalition's property, taking soil samples from over 500 test pits. This sampling will give us a better grasp of the scope and limit of contamination on the ranch. In addition to the pit testing, DEQ's contractors are conducting some important experiments on the property. Equipment operators removed contaminated soil from a badly eroded section of Clark Fork River bank, peeled back layers of toxic sediments, and reached the healthy dirt of the river's historic floodplain. The excavated plot was fenced and left alone, with the intent that DEQ will monitor this site and others like it over the next two years. Ideally, this will result in willows and other native vegetation re-claiming old ground, with minimal noxious weed growth. Whatever the results, this test (along with dozens of others) will give DEQ a better understanding of what it will take to maintain an effective and thorough Superfund cleanup.

It has a very good and well realised concept. The colors fits the motif perfectly and the picture manages to tell the story of the nursery rhyme it depicts very well.

Judges' Critique
A nice solid pixelart scene. The wall is done especially well and adds a lot of interest to the piece. The mix of styles seems odd however and i'm not sure it works as well as it could. I don't think her hand fits with the rest of her body due to the thin outlines and less AA.
The artist shows a great deal of skill and manages to portray the classic nursery rhyme in both a cute and funny way.

Clear and to the point.
Effective animation.
Too many colors.
One of the most classic of nursery rhymes, and captured beautifully. The mouse's motion was captured perfectly. The numbers on the face could have benefited from some anti-aliasing. But all in all, one banging job on this.
With gratitude to the judges who offered their valuable critiques and made the hard decision of who were to be the winners.

Judges' Critique
For her scene setting in particular, and the atmosphere.
Great costume design with a wonderfully executed bussle skirt. The pose choice of the base which is often overlooked truly compliments this doll. The addition of the locket adds to the detail spent on the doll. My only criticism is that not as much attention was paid to the background as the rest of the piece.
The whole background is kind of dark but it brings to light the character of the scenery.
She's made great work on the dress and the hairstyle and if you look at the window closely you will see a shadow that really completes the piece and gives a mysterious touch.
....I thought she executed the rhyme well, though I felt the entry was a bit too dark. The outfit is well designed though lacked excitement. It seemed too flat, as all one piece. I liked how she added the Locket/Pocket. And the look on her tells me she's playful and that's how she lures her men in.
Artist made a great doll, did research, and also applied the information to the deviation for the entertainment of others. Brownie points!

Judges' Critique
For the use of colors, it is soft while giving a sad effect to the scene.
It's really worth looking closely to this piece because you will be able to see all the details she put into the dress.
Plus the whole design of the clothes match perfectly the "Little Bo Peep" nursery rhyme and the two sheep add a cute touch to the whole scene, giving it completion.
This girl firstly gets brownie points with me for using her own base and hence the doll is entirely of her creation. That aside, she gave a new spin on pigtails the way they are twisted all up and out. She shaded the blonde exceptionally well. (A feat many dollers fail to do). The lambs are an excellent addition and their wool looks incredibly fluffy and soft. Great use of small detailing (lace, the bows on the lambs tails, etc) truly bring this peice to life.
.....the greatness in her shading capabilities and the execution in the Nursery Rhyme. The look on Bo Peep's face shows a worried and sincere look for her sheep complete with the clenching of the chest in despair. Bo Peep's outfit is cute and stays true to the time period of the rhyme. And those sheep are just too cute for their own cuddliness.

Judges' Critique
Nice attention to details with her adding the grommets and all on the boots and corset. The underskirt is also a nice detail as are the smudges of pie filling on her face. She has a nice use of contrast of colors between light and shadow on both the hair and the folds of her skirt. I do, however, wish the same level of shading had been used in the rest of the piece. (The pie and the light fabric).
The whole brown scheme color she chose gives a little old fashioned but nice atmosphere and helps to emphasis the details like the stain of the pie on her mittens and mouth.
Moreover the pie gives a funny touch while reminding us of the reference to the nursery rhymes she chose.
Loved the nursery rhyme growing up. Love the cute kitty look, like the shading and the hair is to die for.
With gratitude to the judges who offered their valuable critiques and made the hard decision of who were to be the winners.
The first place winners from the Doll and PixelArt Galleries will receive a prize from deviantART of their choice, up to the value of $50.

The Political
Branding Issue
Editorial Staff
The Creative Issue
The Digital Issue
What's in Store
for 2013
At Interbrand we believe in a definition of brand that transcends the products you sell or the logo you lead with. Brand is the identity at the heart of an entity, its very core. All other factors being equal, brand will elevate one product over another to win the allegiance of the consuming public. Interbrand has been instrumental in pioneering an understanding of brand as the holistic identity of an organization, the way it speaks and moves in the world, what it says and how it behaves.
The stronger brands can drive people's loyalty and ultimately command a premium in the marketplace. When it comes to a nation like the US, the analogy would be the degree to which its brand wins over hearts and minds, driving people's allegiance domestically and, in the global arena, creating a sense that this is a nation with ideas and attitudes worth emulating, products worth purchasing and ideals worth enshrining. This has often translated into democratic movements, open markets and a passion for American products, symbols, and cultural artifacts, from our movies and our music to our fashion and our fast food.
The irony of branding is that for any organization to maximize its commercial success, it must ultimately find its heart and soul — the higher reason it bothers to bring its goods to market. For Nike, it's the belief that "If you have a body, you're an athlete." That simple, potent notion has driven not just industry leadership in the sneaker trade, but a profound, empowering shift in cultural norms and attitudes about fitness, body image, sports, and personal motivation.
Starbucks found its purpose not simply in a cup of coffee, but in the insight that people's complicated lives required a "third space" away from the rigors of work and the demands of family — a place where socializing and "me time," where music and a moment to savor, could help us rejuvenate and recharge. Starbucks sells more coffee than Peet's not so much because of what's in the cup, but the context that surrounds it: the brand.
There may be athletic shoes that fit you better or perform just as well; there might be coffee you would prefer in a blind taste test. But the success of Nike and Starbucks attest to the power of brand to elevate a product because it is carried aloft on the arms of something more important: an idea.
So what is the idea behind Brand America?
Every four years we have an intriguing, messy public argument about that very question. Centuries before social media, Americans found any platform, from midnight rides and town criers to massive, hand cranked Guttenberg printing presses, to have an ongoing discussion about what the brand idea at the heart of America really is. We have been inventing and arguing about this in inky broadsheets and village squares, in books and newspapers and over the airwaves, on TV and the internet, for centuries.
That season is upon us again, big time. On the eve of the 2012 presidential election, Brand America, is seemingly ailing. In this article and the series that follows, we at Interbrand cast an eye over the political brandscape, and try to assess the strength of this venerable, vital brand.
The United States is, not coincidentally, structured much like a corporation. After all, the nation rose along with the corporation, and is an expression in many ways of the mercantile experience and the Enlightenment ideas that gave rise to early corporate ventures. The American colonies were a crucible for much of the artisanal capitalism that has informed the growth of small business, as well as the home of great port cities where capital accumulated and the corporations grew dominant. Our political history and the theory of how corporations can and should work are, safe to say, completely inseparable, like two genetic strands linked in their spirals.
Because the US shares so much of its DNA with the modern corporation, then it stands to reason that a modern view of the structure and role of brand in the life of an organization is highly applicable to the US. It follows, too, that sound brand management, strategic leverage of brand assets and credible migration of brand equities over time — across history — would tend to be critical to the health of the country. Election season 2012 is an opportune moment to examine just how Brand America is doing in the management of its considerable assets.
Brand America has a complex brand architecture that includes at least four classes of distinct and extremely potent sub-brands. Like the regional sub-brands of North and South, Slave State and Free State, that proved irreconcilable in the 19th century, some of these sub-brands have identities and brand ideas so strong that they can, in fact, seem to contradict each other, always threatening to carry the larger masterbrand, and with it the entire organization, into conflict.
First, each branch of government may be seen as a separate business unit, and in fact the founders of this complicated organization were wise enough to build in by-laws, if you will, known to all basic civics class graduates as checks and balances. Hence the executive, legislative, and judicial branches each have a separate identity, calibrated in such a delicate manner that none can dominate the others for long.
Second, consider that the US is also a holding company of sorts that "contains multitudes," as Walt Whitman put it. Brand America, with its many mergers and acquisitions of distinct ethnic groups, can lay a credible claim to being a mosaic of diverse cultures. M&A is in fact an apt metaphor here, as it is the rare M&A venture that runs smoothly. Furthermore, most require a great degree of intentionality and focus, and there are inevitably some casualties along the way.
Brand America's commitment to ethnic dynamism (mergers) and assimilation (acquisitions) is unrivaled, and has provided the basis for much of the nation's health and longevity by constantly replenishing our workforce, our sense of innovation and our PR bona fides worldwide. The halo effect we receive globally as the nation where all classes, colors and creeds come to make something new of their lives and hand something more to the next generation is a part of our brand narrative that serves us well on many fronts.
Third, there are, of course, potent "personal brands" that rise and fall in the life of the larger brand. Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Reagan are four particularly influential examples, though by no means is this category limited to presidents. These personal brands are analogous to game-changing CEOs like Jack Welch or Lee Iacocca, who steer their organizations through treacherous shoals, spin them into new directions or galvanize the workforce and offer clarity and definition.
Then, finally, there's the elephant — and the donkey — in the room: the two sub-brands of the major political parties. As sub-brands, The Republican Party and the Democratic Party have always had their own stories, their own ideas (or ideologies), with whole streams of separate products (policies) cascading from their identities.

GOP presidential contender Herman Cain refused Sunday to directly deny reports that he was sexually harassed two female employees of the National Restaurant Association while he served as the association's chief executive officer in the 1990s.
Cornered outside the CBS Washington studios after an appearance on "Face the Nation, Cain first refused comment on the report and then, instead of answering a question on whether or not he has been accused of sexual harassment, Cain shot back at the reporter: "Have you ever been accused of sexual harassment."
Cain's campaign spokesman, however, is denying the report from the web site Politico that said Cain was charged with sexual harassment by two female employees and that the association shelled out five-figure settlements to both.
"Inside-the-Beltway media have begun to launch unsubstantiated personal attacks on Cain," campaign spokesman J.D. Gordon said in a written statement. "Dredging up thinly sourced allegations stemming from Mr. Cain's tenure as the Chief Executive Officer at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, political trade press are now casting aspersions on his character and spreading rumors that never stood up to the facts."
However, sources within the association confirmed to Capitol Hill Blue over the weekend that the reports are true and that other female employees complained about Cain's suggestive remarks and sexual innuendos.
"He was always on the make," says one former female staff member at the association. "We would make inappropriate remarks about women's bodies and attire."
The former staffer said new female employees were warned to avoid being alone with Cain.
"I was afraid of him," she said. "So were others."
6 Responses to "Cain avoids direct denial of sexual harassment reports"
The guy is brilliant. He has to get the male tea party vote. But he's black. He has to overcome the ingrained racism of the white tea party male. What does he do?
First he gets the vote of the tea party men who smoke. My hunch is a lot of them do. They don't appreciate the government telling them not to. Done that. He could probably get more votes if he promised to reduce the price of cigarettes.
As for charges of sexual harassment, now he gets the votes of all those tea party men who make lewd comments to and about women.
If he comes to the next Republican debate packing a .44 magnum pistol and manages to say this to Mitt Romney he's got the nomination:
"… this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"
Hal Brown
Sounds to me that Cain is suffering from shades of 'Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill syndrome'…no?
What other scandals does this guy have stashed in his seabag? We really don't want to know at this point do we…?
Carl Nemo **==
Good to see you "back on the rag" Hal!
Cain is either running the worst campaign ever or the best book tour ever. Not sure his staff even know which it is.
Thanks Woody, hi Carl… I am coming getting my sarcasm sword sharpened now with the two year mark of my new life approaching, just in time for election season.
My prediction is that Cain will self-destruct politically by New Years and end up with his own show on Fox News – but in the meantime I sure would like to see him interviewed by Rev. Al.
Glad to have you posting to CHB again Hal. I've always enjoyed your commentary. : )
Carl Nemo **==
And Rush Limbaugh is now saying that people accusing Cain of past sexual harassment incidents are racists. Maybe he's just, as he puts it, being ridiculous to illustrate the ridiculous…? Or maybe he's forgotten how many times he himself has used the phrase "playing the race card" since Obama first became a potential Democratic candidate for president.

Although I don't feel creatively blocked, I started working on Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way" a few days ago. The program is for people who want to unleash creativity. I completed the exercises back in 1997, in conjunction with going to a meditation school.
I had significant creative blocks in the '90s, primarily due to violent relationship. It wasn't a normal creative block, where you don't feel like writing. I wanted to write, but didn't feel safe enough. Anything that reminded me of that relationship produced flashbacks and other problems. So I disconnected from aspects of my creativity, including theater and playwriting.
It was a long journey to be able to write plays again. Part of that journey was completing The Artist's Way. It wasn't my only tool, but it sure helped.
A few years ago, I bought Cameron's entire collection, including "The Artist's Way," "Walking in the World," and "Finding Water." I had just moved to Alabama and felt as thought I left myself back in Texas and New York City. I never had the time to do the exercises. Maybe it wasn't appropriate in 2008.
Now, I feel compelled to widen my creative flow. I'm starting with the Morning Pages and Artist's Date. After the New Year, I'll begin to work my way through the weekly exercises.
This time, I'd like to regain my sense of freedom. I've spent a decade dealing with the business side of writing, which kills creativity. Too many people through the years have told me what to write, how to write and criticized what I've written. It's unavoidable if you want to pursue writing professionally. Gradually, I've made myself smaller and smaller, caring more about what's acceptable for other rather than what is true for myself.

Billions of dollars are lost and many lives risked every year as ever-bolder thieves loot the trucking industry.
Thick with Thieves
Thieves learn the hard way that an idling Pete isn't as innocent as it looks.
Miami Heat
Some thieves turn to desperate measures to take cargo.
Dwindling Resources
Cargo theft takes a back seat to war on terror.
Protecting the Goods
Fleets, retailers and trucking organizations all have a vested interest in security.
Big Gain, Little Pain
Weak penalties, high profits make cargo theft more attractive than dealing in narcotics.
On a sunny September day near the notorious Los Angeles neighborhood of Compton, trucker Jerry Nadeau picked up a load of Left Bank designer shirts. The load's value, an estimated $35,000 wholesale, was the furthest thing from his mind when he piloted his straight truck toward the Long Beach Freeway for a delivery across town.
As he headed up a freeway on-ramp, a car sped around the right side of his truck in the breakdown lane. It slammed on its brakes and blocked his path. Nadeau thought the driver and three passengers, who were climbing out of the vehicle, were upset because he had cut them off. As they approached his truck, Nadeau prepared for a fight, grabbing a tire iron.
Then he saw the .357 Magnum and knew something else was up. "A gun trumps a tire iron," he says.
Of all the methods thieves use to steal cargo, hijacking represents the biggest risk to truckers. Hijackings are rare, though not as rare as most drivers think, because thieves would rather take the load when the driver's not around, police say. While simple cargo theft carries little risk for the perpetrator, a thief who hijacks a truck can face hard time – as much as life in prison for kidnapping, theft and assault. Sometimes, however, criminals are willing to take the risk.
Two members of the gang climbed into Nadeau's cab, forced him to the floor and tried to drive away. Nadeau was no longer thinking about how to fight, but how to survive.
"They threatened to kill me," he says. "They were attempting to drive the truck but couldn't figure it out." Seeing an opportunity to gain points with his assailants, Nadeau volunteered to drive. With a gun in his ribs, he took the crooks 40 miles away to a deserted lot near the freeway. They threw him out, told him to stay there for an hour and said they would be watching him.
As the hijackers drove off in his truck, Nadeau looked around and sure enough, he saw a car near the freeway; the sun glinted off a high-powered rifle scope. Nadeau stayed put. Eventually, he walked away and called the police.

Does religion have any relevance in the modern world ?
Given that most religions are founded on ideas and teachings that come from books written hundreds, or even thousands of years ago, and that their relevance to modern ideas have been superceded by scientific discoveries, is it logical to have any belief in religion ?

edward long 100+Apr 19 2012: @ Obey-- re: "what makes you think. . . ": Your Humanist thinking has limited the scope of possibilities in life sir. We humans do not need something above us. Everything in the Universe is not determined by human needs. Possible explanations of existence go far beyond human determination. Consider the idea that Man is not supreme. re: "If there are no gods. . . ": You invoke Atheist doctrine as the only possible explanation for the Universe, which it is not. re: "We are getting better. . . ": Really? Better? The evil side of Man does not change with the times. Predators, destroyers, parasites and all the other evil doers have always been, and always will be, with us. You are right that we are equipped with reason and instinct for both good and bad. The problem is the bottom line always shows enough bad to prevent the good from prevailing. re: "Unbelievers are no worse than believers.": Correct. In fact many "believers" are far worse than the typical unbeliever. Human behaviour is not what determines the relevance of God (I said God, I did not say religion). re: "isn't it better. . . ": If you do good and show compassion your motivation for so doing is not really relevant. God is relevant. Religion is not relevant. Thanks Obey.
Apr 22 2012: The God of Christianity, Judaism and Islam is one God. He is described in the Holy Bible. God is Spirit. Infinite, eternal and unchangeable in His wisdom; being; power; holiness; justness; goodness; mercy and truth. God is uncaused. He is one, existing in three forms: the Father; the Son; and the Holy Spirit. Religion is man's effort to know God. It is boundlessly subjective and utterly without authority except where it aligns with the Holy Bible. Otherwise religion is without relevance in the modern, past, and future world. God is not a synonymn for religion. Knowing God is supremely important and relevant. Knowing religion is dispensable and irrelevant. Thanks Mr. Hodges.

I think secular human rights, including freedom of religion within limits, is a step forward.
I think an understanding that there are no real gods telling us how to live, that we have to sort this out ourselves is a better approach.
I don't know if there are gods for sure. I'm pretty confident none of the thousands of human inventions including the Abrahamic belief systems come close if there is. Its almost ridiculous to think the creator of the universe is relying on a collection of books originally associated with a particular tribe in the middle east and then waited until 2000 years ago to sort out things for the rest. It looks just like a cultural construct.
Why do you think the bible is pointing in the right direction in terms of god?
What it you were born 2100 years ago in America? You might be arguing shamanistic theology.
Its a kind of cultural arrogance to think your cultural religion has a basis any more sound that any other.
I don't know if there is a god. If there is I doubt any human belief system comes close including the bible based ones.
Is religion relevant - yes for many and it still impacts the non believers.
Is it logical. I think if you could grow up away from any religious dogma, then took a look at the world, studying the history of religion you'd see it to be man made.

A coworker who is a new dad just walked by my desk with a big sigh and said, "I miss my son I just want to go home to see him." My response was, "I know the feeling."
He said that his 4 month old son knows who he is now and it's so exciting. Everything about being a new baby is exciting even when it's the second time around. Every age is a little better than the last.
Newborns don't really do much so things like latching on and gaining weight are the exciting things...and in my case kicking jaundice. My twins are a couple months old now and the exciting things are seeing them smile for the first time...a real honest to God happy smile. Nothing melts your heart more than a big toothless grin. They coo and giggle and are even starting to attempt to roll over. Soon they'll be trying to crawl, holding their own bottles, eating baby food, walking, saying their first word, and all sorts of other exciting things. There's so much fun to look forward to, but I don't want to wish away a minute by thinking about all that's to come. I'm all about living in the moment and soaking up every second of quality time I get to spend with them as they grow.
I felt the same way about Mia and time still flew by. Even in the rough times when she was crying and I couldn't soothe her or the times she was sick and miserable I never wished time would go faster. Nothing lasts forever. The crying will stop and the cold will go away, but those moments of holding them trying to convince them it will all be okay because Mommy's here won't last either. No matter how frustrated you get or how tired you are it's only temporary and one day when your kids are grown you'll look back at those times they cried out for you and needed you to hold them and smile.
If you are exhausted and frustrated with your little one at times it's normal, but if you are feeling depressed or ever feel like you could hurt your baby you need to talk to your doctor, you could be suffering from Postpartum Depression. It is more common they you may realize and there are good resources out there to help you. If you have questions about Postpartum Depression you can always reach out to the staff at Ministry Saint Michael's Hospital they are happy to provide you with information.

I went to bed...
But the words in my head
Would not be still
And against my will...
They clamored to be
Written for you to see.
I tossed in bed…
But the words in my head
Stayed wide awake
So for sanity's sake
I caught every one
Now my poem is done!
I got out of bed…
But the words in my head
Had gone to sleep
So without a peep
I crawled back in
And with a wide grin
I bade them goodnight
Closed my eyes tight
For soon they'd awake
And my life overtake!

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - After a month and a half of checking, fighting, scoring and saving their way through the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings have reached the 2008 Stanley Cup finals.
Both teams took impressive paths to the promised land this year, as the Penguins rolled through the Eastern Conference playoffs with a 12-2 record and Detroit claimed the West championship by winning 13 of 17 games. The Red Wings even set a franchise record at one point with nine consecutive victories this postseason.
Although their paths through the 2008 playoffs were somewhat similar, a closer look at the franchises' recent history shows the clubs took divergent paths to get back to the Cup finals.
The Penguins are in the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1992, when Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr helped Pittsburgh celebrate its second of back- to-back world championships.
Following those consecutive Cup titles in the early 1990s, the Penguins had maintained a small measure of success by making the postseason for the next nine seasons. However, that well ran dry in the early part of this decade, as Pittsburgh sat out of the playoffs for four straight seasons from 2002-06.
That was before the Penguins franchise received a bit of good fortune by winning the NHL draft lottery in 2005. Pittsburgh surprised nobody by selecting centerman Sidney Crosby, the NHL's most sought-after prospect since Wayne Gretzky.
Crosby came into the NHL as an 18-year-old and lived up to the hype, becoming the youngest player in league history to score 100 points in a season. Despite the fact that "Sid the Kid" arrived early, the Pens still had a dismal season with just 58 points and finished last in the Eastern Conference.
Fast forward two years to the present, and Crosby is already a former winner of the Art Ross and Hart Trophies as the league's leading scorer and MVP, respectively, having won that hardware along with the Lester B. Pearson Award last season. Crosby also led Pittsburgh to its first playoff appearance since 2001 a year ago, but the run was short-lived as the Pens were ousted in the opening round by Ottawa.
This season, Crosby became the youngest captain in NHL annals, as he was awarded the "C" as 20 year old. Although he missed 29 games with a high ankle sprain during the 2007-08 regular season, Crosby made up for his absence by notching 21 points (4 goals, 17 assists) in 14 games during the conference playoffs.
The Penguins' resurgence is not only a result of the play of Crosby, but also a testament to Pittsburgh's superb drafting in recent years. The Pens' playoff drought from earlier this decade resulted in some high draft picks for Pittsburgh, and the franchise certainly made the most of those selections.
Before picking Crosby in 2005, the Penguins selected centerman Evgeni Malkin - a finalist for the Hart Trophy this year - with the second pick in 2004, and a year before that Pittsburgh took goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury No. 1 overall.
Malkin, who is still only 21 years old, is an efficient offensive weapon who kept the Penguins rolling without Crosby in the lineup during the regular season, while the 23-year-old backstop Fleury is starting to justify being the top pick in 2003.
Pittsburgh has other promising young stars on its roster like forward Jordan Staal and defensemen Kris Letang and Ryan Whitney. General manager Ray Shero has done a solid job of mixing in veteran talent by adding players like Marian Hossa, Petr Sykora, Gary Roberts and Hal Gill.
Still, the storyline in the Stanley Cup for the Penguins is and should be how Crosby led his team to the NHL's biggest stage in less than three years time. All that excitement has led hockey fans to wonder if a dynasty is coming together in the Steel City, even before Crosby and Co. have won Stanley Cup No. 1.
The Red Wings know a thing or two about dynasties, having won two straight Cups in 1997 and '98 and picking up a third title in six seasons in 2002.
In five seasons since last hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup, Detroit has won three Presidents' Trophy as the team with the best record in the NHL during the regular season, and averaged just over 114 points per year during that span. However, the Red Wings failed to make the Cup finals in any of those years, falling short of the always lofty expectations in the city known as "Hockeytown."
So what is different about this year's edition of the Detroit Red Wings compared to the underachieving teams of recent times?
First of all, the team has received steady goaltending from veteran Chris Osgood, who has played his best hockey since leading Detroit to a Stanley Cup in 1998. It's also the strongest goaltending the Red Wings have received since Dominik Hasek, future Hall-of-Famer and current backup to Osgood, anchored the Red Wings to their last title in 2002.
Also, the Red Wings have seen their top-two forwards, Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk, grow tremendously as players over the past few years. This season Datsyuk led Detroit with 97 points (31g, 66a) and Zetterberg was second with 92 points on 43 goals and 49 helpers.
Possibly even more impressive than Zetterberg and Datsyuk posting career-best offensive numbers was the fact that both players, who skate on the same line, were named as two of three finalists for the Selke Trophy, which is awarded annually to the NHL's best defensive forward.
Nicklas Lidstrom, who is arguably the best defenseman of his generation, has been a member of Detroit's last three Stanley Cup-winning teams, and leads a defensive corps that is deeper than some of those Red Wings championship teams.
Lidstrom, Detroit's captain, is again at the top of that list and is almost guaranteed a sixth Norris Trophy this season as the league's top defenseman. However, the Swedish superstar is aided this year in the postseason by new Red Wings like Brian Rafalski and Brad Stuart as well as the steadily improving Niklas Kronwall.
As a side note, if the Red Wings happen to lose this year's Cup finals, and you hear somebody mention the fact that it was because Lidstrom is European and no player from Europe has ever captained an team to a Stanley Cup title, please call that person an idiot on my behalf. Lidstrom is one of the steadiest, smartest and hardest-working players in the league and the fact that he's not from North America has had nothing to do with recent playoff disappointment by the Red Wings.
Anyway, what do these differences between the current editions of the Red Wings and Penguins have to do with who will win Lord Stanley's Cup?
Well, obviously, Detroit has the greater playoff experience, but also is facing more pressure to bring a Stanley Cup back to its hometown fans. On the other hand, the Penguins' early arrival to the big stage could cause the team to be a bit too relaxed.
The unprecedented nature of Crosby's rapid ascendancy from hyped 18-year-old to captain of the Eastern Conference champions just three seasons into his career makes it difficult to gauge how well he can lead his team in the Cup finals. After all, Gretzky was nearly two years older than Sid when he first made it to the finals in 1983, and also had five full seasons of professional hockey under his belt. Gretzky and the Oilers lost to the New York Islanders in '83, but the "Great One" won the first of his four Cup titles the following year.
The ultimate question is, will Detroit get back to the top of the mountain or will Crosby and the Pens complete the first of what could be multiple championship seasons?
I'm leaning towards the later scenario, since Pittsburgh was my pick to win it all in the preseason and the Pens have yet to let me down in that regard. Still, the Red Wings were the NHL's best club in the regular season and appeared to be unstoppable at times during the playoffs as well.
In the end, it will be either the old lions or the young cubs to win it all, but with these storylines, the NHL can't lose.

It looks like WWE will be utilizing the relationship between Cameron and her boyfriend a bit more during the next season of Total Divas. The belief is that something drastic will happen, where the couple will either break up or do a wedding. The heel turn and split from Naomi Knight was designed to put more attention into her character on the reality television show next season.
July 28, 2014
TMZ has quite the fascination with WWE nowadays. The tabloid website recently reported that Nikki Bella, who recently received her real estate license, was spotted showing homes to Cameron and her boyfriend. The couple is getting pretty serious and is wanting to move in together. Cameron, who is one of the stars of Total Divas, stated that she wants a five bedroom place.
July 21, 2014
In a sign that management might have forgiven her, Emma was not only given a match on WWE Main Event this week, but she was also given a victory over Cameron, who recently did a heel turn. Rumors floated around that the company was not going to be utilizing her on television after she was arrested for shoplifting, but it looks like WWE is attempting to avoid further attention to the incident by going about as usual.
July 16, 2014
Since management did not want to have two divas matches on WWE Battleground 2014, the decision was made to have the match between Cameron and Naomi Knight take place on the kickoff show instead. The segment was needed for the upcoming season of Total Divas. Otherwise, the story would have been placed on the back burner once AJ Lee decided to make her return to WWE.
July 15, 2014
The big brawl between Naomi Knight and Cameron that you witnessed on Monday Night Raw this week was indeed the big breakup that has been teased over the last couple of weeks by WWE. As many already know, this story was set up for the sake of Total Divas, as producers wanted more dramatic stories for the reality television show. Since it is involved with another network, the belief is that WWE will get behind the story and put some emphasis on it.
July 9, 2014
With AJ Lee finally making her return to WWE, the competition in the divas division just got a bit tougher. Someone is going to be losing television time. Naomi Knight and Cameron appear to be safe, as they have a heel turn story line in progress. Summer Rae and Layla El appear to have their weekly television spots secured for the time being. Paige is going to be working a program against AJ, so she should be fine. The belief is that Alicia Fox will be the one demoted, even though her character was gaining a little bit of momentum over the last couple of weeks.
July 5, 2014
Sensing that they were going to receive quite a bit of backlash for overreacting to the arrest and having double standards for their performers, WWE has decided to reinstate Emma after giving her a release earlier in the day. Some have cited the previous arrest of Jack Swagger and Cameron, who actually attempted to bribe a police officer, as a reason why WWE was forced to change their minds.
July 2, 2014
Naomi Knight was given a crack at the WWE Divas Championship at Money in the Bank 2014, but it was Paige that walked away as the reigning titleholder after a DDT and a pin. The match was designed to further the eventual split between Naomi and Cameron, who was at ringside and taking glee whenever her tag team partner was in peril against Paige.
June 29, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Cameron will be doing a heel turn at Money in the Bank 2014. She will more than likely cost Naomi Knight her chance at the WWE Divas Championship. There is also speculations that the incident will then lead to a triple threat match at WWE Battleground 2014, which would also feature Paige as the champion still.
June 27, 2014
Since the Total Divas writers are hoping to create a bit of a buzz for next season, there are talks that they will have WWE do a story line soon where Naomi Knight and Cameron decide to split up and go their own separate ways. Rumors are suggesting that Naomi will be the one to turn heel, even though Cameron has a more natural ability to get people to hate her.
June 19, 2014
Now that she has successfully defend the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox, it looks like Paige is moving on to another challenger. Based on a press conference video, it appears that the next challenger is Cameron. The move could be designed to help promote her new music. It could also be WWE filming footage for the upcoming season of Total Divas as well.
June 3, 2014
WWE is not playing favorites during the current tour of Europe when it comes to Naomi Knight and Jimmy Uso. The newly married couple are working separate legs of the tour. Naomi is working with Paige and Cameron on the Raw shows, while Jimmy Uso is with Jey Uso on the Smackdown group. They will both be at Monday Night Raw together, though.

April 21, 2014
There are rumors floating around about nude pictures of Cameron being available. It turns out that it is simply wrestling fans who have fallen for an edited photo of the WWE diva, which features a male porn star and Naomi Knight as well.
April 20, 2014
A rather interesting scene took place during the Divas invitational match at Wrestlemania 30 last night. Cameron suffered a wardrobe malfunction, where her top came unhooked during a spot with Emma. Cameron was noticeably trying to hold on to her shirt, so that her breasts would not become exposed to WWE fans. After the spot, she went to the side and repaired the wardrobe malfunction.
April 7, 2014
If you're in New Orleans this week for Wrestlemania 30, you have a chance to party with the cast of Total Divas. Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Summer Rae, Eva Marie, Natalya Neidhart, Cameron and Naomi Knight are all scheduled to be at the Masquerade night club. The camera crew from E! will be there as well to film footage for an upcoming episode.
April 4, 2014
A picture of Cameron and some NBA cheerleaders. The WWE diva recently visited the Washington Wizards, and the belief is that this is going to be footage for an upcoming episode of Total Divas.
April 2, 2014
Initially, there was a push backstage in WWE to have AJ Lee defending the belt against Naomi Knight in a straight up match, but for the sake of Total Divas, management opted to just throw as many of the girls into the match as possible. Cameron, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Natalya Neidhart, Eva Marie, Summer Rae, Emma, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, Layla El and Tamina Snuka are now involved.
March 25, 2014
The episode of Total Divas this week brought WWE a ton of attention from both wrestling fans and non wrestling fans. Thousands and thousands of people flocked to the internet to search for Eva Marie scandalous photos, which was being shown around the locker room by Cameron.

May 1, 2014
While he was easily one of the best overall performers during his generation, Tully Blanchard was a bit of a headache backstage.

May 1, 2014
While he does not get featured as much by WWE nowadays, Pedro Morales will forever have a place in company history.

April 28, 2014

She is no longer in charge of the creative department.
April 22, 2014
The boring gimmick that Lance Storm received while working in WWE was actually a little jab at internet wrestling fans. Many viewed him as a guy that was just too boring to be a star.

April 13, 2014
Back when he was a teenager in Mississippi, Kamala was a bit of a thief. He became known in town as a burglar who came from a poor family.

April 11, 2014
In a little known fact in professional wrestling, Bobby Heenan was originally scheduled to manage Jesse Ventura. Vince McMahon had lured him away from the AWA for that particular role.
