O'Reilly mentioned the cooking of the pre-election unemployment numbers tonight and said it would be covered more tomorrow.

Rush reminded us he predicted the unemployment rate would magically dip below 8 well before the election. In fact I remember him saying this. I doubt that there was not one listener who did not agree with his prediction. I also doubt there was not one listener who also did not agree with his insinuation that the "books would be cooked" to achieve this "magical" number.
The MSM is silent.
"oh these are career government officials"
as though their integrity and honesty is above reproach.
Unfortunately there are no Nixon tapes of Obama and/or his henchman Axelrod to be discovered.
I guess only then could we speak of impeachment. Like the mafia. It is hard to connect the evidence to the masterminds pulling the strings.

Wesbury warned that the economy alone wouldn't be bad enough to defeat the President. But ccp is right, Rush predicted for a year that the manipulation of the data would magically happen coming into the election. Jack Welch also commented on the cooked books and the media, refusing any role as a watchdog, just lazily claimed the critics to be wearing tin foil hats. Now it turns out to be true, much worse than we thought, and there will be no consequence?
"Unfortunately there are no Nixon tapes of Obama and/or his henchman Axelrod to be discovered."
Yes there are, such as the IRS targeting communications contradicting the testimony and reports in the Federal Register exposing the President's lies. We just don't have them 'Obama administration tapes' yet because no one is demanding their release. We won't get them without an effective and relentless special prosecutor.
I keep pointing to this one example. A group called ACORN was banned from federal funding for their co-mingling of taxpayer dollars and political activities - and they have since reappeared under many different names. The head of ACORN said the co-mingling of funds was impossible due to the impermeable "firewall" (what a joke!) separating these activities, even though it was the same people working both sides in the same office. Yes there is attrition, but largely the same community organizers became the Census 2010 paid workers, learning everything about everyone in the neighborhoods, outside the constitution and at taxpayer expense, who then became the paid workers of the Obama 2012 campaign to 'get out the vote'. They called it a magical and top secret "data mining" operation. But they knew who was black. They knew who was Hispanic, and they knew who was in every other identifiable demographic group. They knew who relied on food stamps. They knew who was on Section 8. They knew who got medicaid and all other federal programs and they came to their doors with iphones and clipboards tracking voters, arranging rides and making sure all the targeted people voted. It was not data mining, it was illegal data sharing. I came from the people to the government, and then to the campaign. All the while, in a different agency of the same executive branch, conservative groups were targeted, questioned and prevented from organize in opposition, while in a third agency they were cooking the books to change the story line, and in a fourth agency they were covering up events overseas that contradict the President saying al Qaida was 'on the run' even though he slept while they were surrounding and killing Americans.
The idea that there is no trail to the top turned out to be false when we looked at the IRS. It went to the top, to a guy who had daily meetings with the White House.
If we investigate, subpoena evidence and compel testimony on the rest of these irregularities, we will find the 'Nixon tapes and much worse.

Yes, where did we first hear that the top secret, highly successful, campaign data mining operation was really the illegal leaking of private data by partisan government workers also working on the campaign? And that the government workers gathering our private data and the campaign workers using that same data were actually the same people?
In answer to ccp's question, how can we get this investigated, it is good to see people are following up on the points made here on the forum:
Same healthcare 'navigator' caught by James O'Keefe releasing private data for political purposes was also regional field director for Organizing for Action, Barack Obama's campaign arm.
As I wrote earlier, if you investigate, you will find it is the same people and same data. Highly illegal. No consequence.
Earlier Thursday, we reported that James O'Keefe released a video showing an Obamacare navigator conspiring to release personal data obtained through the healthcare website for partisan political purposes. The plot thickened, however, when the Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft revealed on Wednesday that Christopher Tarango, the navigator in O'Keefe's video, was also the regional field director for the El Paso office of Organizing for Action, Barack Obama's campaign arm.
"In fact," Hoft said, "Tarango is mentioned on Obamas official Organizing for Action website."
Tarango, Hoft added, was a top official with Obama's campaign arm.
"Now hes working for Enroll America and hes willing to release private data for political purposes,"
"there's a lot of talent that got sucked into Enroll America, but we are all Obama people."
SMU political science professor Matthew Wilson told KDFW there are strict barriers regarding the sharing of information and resources. "The difficulty is, how bright a line can you draw between the non-partisan activities and the specifically political activities
when it's exactly the same people doing both
Attorney General of the United States Eric Holder will be all over this, I'm sure! A special prosecutor? RICO prosecution?
An organized, criminal operation undermining our electoral system - on a national scale, large enough to swing a Presidential election is treason, is it not? Or was this, too, "just the Cincinnati office"?

False job numbers: Did the White House know?

The Census is our private data, taken forcibly and unconstitutionally from us by the government, and then shared with leftist political thugs. The White House and the campaign and control of the 2010 Census operation are all one and the same. I watched the campaign work the inner city this past campaign. They knew exactly who they were looking for and skipped the others. That information didn't come from "data mining". It came from the Census, food stamp rolls etc. Finally a reporter has emerged with an informant is on the edge of this massive scandal. Maybe more activists and insiders will begin to see the lies they were told and come forward with their stories.
False job numbers: Did the White House know?
By John Crudele, NY Post
November 23, 2013
False job numbers: Did the White House know?
Photo: Rahm Emanuel and President Obama at a DNC fundraising event in 2011.
Let me be the first to ask: Did the White House know that employment reports were being falsified?
Last week I reported exclusively that someone at the Census Bureaus Philadelphia region had been screwing around with employment data. And that person, after he was caught in 2010, claimed he was told to do so by a supervisor two levels up the chain of command.
On top of that, a reliable source whom I havent identified said the falsification of employment data by Census was widespread and ongoing, especially around the time of the 2012 election.
Theres now a congressional investigation of how Census handles employment data. And we can hope that well find out this was just an isolated incident.
But let me tell you why it might not be.
Back in 2009 right before the 2010 census of the nation was taken there was an announcement that the Obama administration had decided that the Census Bureau would report to senior White House aides.
The rumor was that Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was in charge of the nationwide head count.
The chief of the Commerce Department usually oversees the Census, which determines how many congressional representatives and how much money each state gets for the next decade. But the Obama administration had decided the story went that Emanuel was a better guy for the job.
The idea that a political creature like Emanuel would be calling the shots on how states would be redistricted in coming elections sent Republicans into a tizzy.
This is nothing more than a political land grab, said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah).
Other Republicans expressed similar dismay. And the tension got so high that Judd Gregg, a Republican senator from New Hampshire, even withdrew his nomination to be Commerce secretary. (Gary Locke assumed that post.)
And why wouldnt the Republicans be bothered? Even though the average American might think the census is nothing more than a nuisance, by Washingtons two most important standards votes and money its anything but.
So heres where my story picks up.
Back in 2010, I started getting reports that the Census Bureau had some very unusual hiring practices. Census takers and supervisors at risk of heavy fines were reporting to me that large numbers of people were being hired only to be fired shortly afterward. And then rehired.
I theorized at the time that Census was trying to make the job-creation totals look better nationwide in those bleak months leading up to the midterm congressional elections.
This employment policy seemed too coordinated. The regional higher-ups at Census couldnt be doing this on their own; there had to be a grander plan.
I still dont know what was going on.
But then I heard about the falsification in Philly. This time, however, it wasnt the employment numbers that were being doodled with. This time it was the unemployment data, which are gathered at the Census Bureau and handed over raw to the Labor Department.
I dont want to get ahead of myself on this, but Philadelphia is pretty close to Washington, DC. And the census taker who was caught cheating a guy named Julius Buckmon had been canvassing the DC area when he was filling out forms for people who didnt exist.
And the Census Bureau had been inexplicably downsized in recent years from eight regions to only six, giving more control to whoever had seized control.
The supervisor who was fingered by Buckmon did admit that he told other survey takers to hand in half-filled-out interviews. And the White House always has pretty good influence at the Census Bureau, even if it didnt get its wish for Emanuel.
Maybe its just my deeply ingrained distrust of authority especially when it resides in Washington or my hope that a good story will last, but Im betting 60/40 that the White House had grand plans for Census. And some of those may have been carried out.

Obamacare rigging the future

Pasting this over here too from the Health Care thread
RIGGING THE FUTURE: Obamacare Creates 50 New State Databases With No Function Beyond Gathering Potential Voter Information, Real or Fraudulent
It was never just a health care fix: A series of precise, brilliant, secretive, and illegal decisions by Obamacare authors led to the creation of 50 unbeatable election tools and to nothing else. As you read, try to identify a rational explanation besides malevolence. (This is Part One of a two-part article.)
by David Steinberg
Nov 26, 2013 - 8:25 am
Since the passage of Obamacare, all fifty state Medicaid agencies have been forced to create a new standalone database that contains nothing besides the contact information of Medicaid applicants who used Healthcare.gov.
Some of these new databases mail out voter registration forms automatically. You cannot refuse them.
No worthwhile verification occurs before the forms are mailed. Apply for Medicaid and the form will be mailed to you, be you a verifiable citizen or Ayman al-Zawahiri on a computer in Pakistan.
Further, these new databases are accessible by groups like Organizing for Action, the reconstituted ACORN, and malevolent figures like Chris Tarango.
And no reasonable purpose exists for creating the databases besides making them available to the aforementioned Democratic activists.
Heard nothing regarding this before? Not only are you not alone, several state secretaries of State we contacted had no clue any of this was occurring under their watch. One source involved in the recently initiated legal battle to expose and dismantle the databases described the situation as follows:
Evil genius.
A complete disregard for certain federal law, the skirting of others, the exploitation of existing Medicaid structures, the issuing of rules and regulations with virtually none of the required paper trail.
Just evil genius. They friggin thought of everything.
The remainder of this article is composed of descriptions of the several decisions made by Obamacare authors that led to the construction of the databases. The listing of these decisions is intended to illustrate the impossibility that these databases were created unintentionally, or due to incompetence a fumble.
We hope to show that a rational, disinterested observer must arrive at the conclusion that these actions could not have been taken for any reason beyond the intended exploitation of the Affordable Care Act as a vehicle for future Democratic election victories.
We invite readers to offer alternative interpretations. We have reached out to several Democratic congressional offices to give them the opportunity to offer their own.
We also have reached out to GOP officials to see if any are willing to go on record stating the lone reasonable conclusion: objectively, some authors of the ACA were not bleeding hearts, but white-collar criminals.
Decision #1: The Honor System
Applicants to Healthcare.gov must enter their current income level. This is a pivotal piece of data for the system: income alone is used to determine if the applicant will be presented with the option to: a) purchase full-price or subsidized health insurance policies; or b) if the applicant will be directed towards Medicaid/CHIP programs. This determination is calculated according to the new Modified/Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) scale.
However, Healthcare.gov does not perform any checks at all (such as requiring the submission of pay stubs, the prior years tax return, etc.) to verify the income amount entered by the applicant. This all-important piece of data is accepted by Healthcare.gov on the honor system.
Decision #2: The Community Organizing, Aggressive Application of Motor Voter Law
If an applicants entered income is low enough to be eligible for subsidy, the applicant will soon be asked by Healthcare.gov if he or she does not wish to receive a voter registration form. This question alone utilizes aggressive application of three provisions of federal law.
The 1993 National Voter Registration Act, or Motor Voter, requires all municipal and government facilities which provide public assistance to also offer voter registration services. The Obama administration claims that Motor Voter thus applies to Healthcare.gov, and subsequently Healthcare.gov must provide voter registration services. Some states have disagreed with this application as it relates to state exchanges, but expect those states to face DOJ litigation Rhode Island and other states have.
1. Since the adoption of Motor Voter in 1993, the Federal Government has successfully forced states to push voter registration in all on-line contexts.
This represents a significant distinction: the federal government has necessarily crafted entirely new fields of law to handle the development of electronic interactions.
2. Motor Voter specifies that facilities offering public assistance must have voter registration services available, and the Federal Government is forcing applications to specifically reject voter registration, sometimes multiple times.
As such, you can draw your own conclusions about the motivation behind applying Motor Voter to the ACA, and behind phrasing the question in that manner.
3. A stunning apparent violation of federal law: In practice, Healthcare.gov does not let you say no to a voter registration form.
Even if you say no, you may be mailed a form automatically.
You may receive a form that is pre-populated with the identifying information you entered into Healthcare.gov. Comprehension of the form is thus unnecessary; the recipient of the pre-populated form need only determine where to sign it.
As explained below, this will occur at the state level, where the design and implementation of Obamacare regarding voter registration make these transparently intentional abuses of Motor Voter seem tame.
Among sources reached for this article, that phrase evil genius was employed when referring to what Obamacare requires of state Medicaid entities; we were told its usage has become commonplace.
Decision #3: Restructuring Medicaids and Only Medicaids Eligibility Screening Procedures
Since the enactment of LBJs Great Society public assistance programs, most state Medicaid agencies have not been responsible for handling eligibility screenings.
Generally, screening for the various public assistance programs has instead been handled by state departments of Health and Human Services, or by similar state entities. One system would screen for all of the public assistance programs; the individual state program agencies would only handle administration.
After 50 years of precedence, Obamacare has changed this. But only for Medicaid.
As discussed earlier, if an applicant enters a qualifyingly low income into Healthcare.gov, the applicant is sent to the Medicaid side of the website. At this point, those five decades of established fraud prevention procedures are jettisoned.
Identifying information entered on the Medicaid side of Healthcare.gov is treated differently than identifying information entered while applying to all other public assistance programs.
How it works now: each state Medicaid agency has been instructed to create a new stand-alone database for storing identifying information entered by Medicaid applicants via Healthcare.gov. (Note the word instructed, not required by law or something similar. We will get to that shortly.) As instructed, all fifty states have created one of these databases.
They have further been instructed that this identifying information should no longer be sent to whichever state organization formerly performed the eligibility screening. The information must only go to these new databases.
Decision #4: The Parting of Data
As instructed, each state designed these new stand-alone databases to be dedicated to storing only the identifying information of Healthcare.gov applicants but no medical data.
If you happen to be familiar with the basics of both health care and election law, perhaps your pupils just grew wide. Because you are aware that medical records are treated by the law as private and sacrosanct, but voter rolls, consisting of only identifying information, are publicly accessible.
To summarize:
The federal government instructed states that they could not send any applicant data entered into the Medicaid side of Healthcare.gov to their traditional eligibility screeners.
They then instructed state Medicaid agencies to create stand-alone databases for this new applicant information, and that these new databases would be forbidden from containing any medical information.
Per an incorrect application of Motor Voter law, the Obama administration considers the Medicaid side of Healthcare.gov to be a public assistance office, and as such, required to offer voter registration services.
The Obama administration also considers it legal to treat the distribution of voter registration forms as must opt-out, instead of must opt-in.
These four bullet points are the basis of Decision #5.
Decision #5: The Illegal, Automatic Mailing of Voter Registration Forms and Opt-Out Forms
States were instructed that, to comply with Motor Voter, these new databases must automatically mail voter registration forms to each new individual applicant sent over from Healthcare.gov.
Recall, you may have said no earlier. It doesnt matter.
The new databases must also mail a second form that states I do not wish to register to vote, which you must sign and return.
Otherwise, it is assumed you wish to register.
If the Feds notice you still havent replied?
Remember Decision #4: the new databases are publicly accessible, since they do not contain any medical information.
Anyone perhaps Organizing for Action, or Battleground Texas can get their hands on it, and then show up at your door with yet another form.
Review the prior five decisions: are you able to determine a reasonable explanation for all five of them besides getting potential voter information in the hands of Democratic organizing groups? Groups populated by bad actors like Chris Tarango, but which nonetheless have the blessings of the administration?
Recall that this is voter information gathered via Medicaid applications, a program whose recipients vote almost exclusively Democrat.
If Orwell comparisons strike you as tedious, an additional instruction to the states about how they are allowed to screen eligibility, along with the precedent-breaking, whispered demands from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that follow may have you granting an exception.
Decision #6: Eliminating the State Medicaid Screeners
For the past five decades, states have dedicated a tremendous amount of resources to providing a second-level review of applicant information transmitted to them via a federal agency.
But now, and quite simply, that has been ended. But only for Medicaid.
States are no longer allowed to challenge the validity of applicant information sent to them from the Medicaid side of Healthcare.gov.
Instead, states are to assume that if information was transmitted to them, the federal government has deemed that information to be valid. States havent simply been instructed to no longer let their traditional public assistance eligibility screeners touch Medicaid information from Healthcare.gov they have been instructed that state Medicaid agencies cant screen it, either. This isnt an administrative shift of the state screening processes, its the forbidding of state screening processes.
We already know what little concern Healthcare.gov itself has for the validity of applicant information. The site employs the honor system for income, the most important piece of data. Also, as previously reported at PJ Media, the Medicaid side of Healthcare.gov allows anyone on Earth to secure at least 90 days of Medicaid with just two easily forged documents and a lie about being a legal alien.
The security bar is even lower for entrance into one of the new state Medicaid/voter roll databases. In fact, its non-existent: apply for Medicaid as a citizen, youre going to end up in your states new Medicaid/voter roll database.
And the state is forbidden from checking the applications validity.
This development represents an endpoint, with identifiable products of those six federal decisions. The products are:
Fifty unscreened databases, accessible to all, of identifying information of likely Democratic voters.
Fifty databases of likely Democratic voters, which automatically mail voter registration forms and required opt-out forms to each applicant.
What is the rational result of these two final products following their implementation?
The Democratic Party exploiting a federal law passed without a single Republican vote, a law that mandates citizen participation, a law that mandates citizens purchase a product to sustain the law financially, to produce an unbeatable tool to utilize for winning elections.
Bad actors within the Democratic Party, both within and outside of government, using this tool to easily commit voter fraud.
An organized entity hostile to the United States exploiting the massive security holes created by this Democratic law to flood the Medicaid rolls with fraudulent enrollees, rendering the massive program database unusable.
An organized entity hostile to the United States exploiting the massive security holes created by this Democratic law to flood the voter rolls with fraudulent identities, rendering the administration of elections impossible.
To employ an example from our prior article on fraudulent 90-day Medicaid enrollments:
1.Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, from a computer in Pakistan, can tell Healthcare.gov that his income this year is zero.
2.He will be directed to the Medicaid side of the website, where he can claim to be an American citizen temporarily living abroad.
3.He can enter the address of his local post office.
4.Al-Zawahiri will have himself a voter registration card arrive shortly.
5.He can instruct his millions of supporters to do the same.
If Healthcare.gov was actually working, al-Qaeda could get that done by the weekend.
How did the Obama administration accomplish this? Wheres the paper trail? Arent there established processes for the development and implementation of rules and regulations applying to a federal bill, and arent all of those deliberations required to be publicly released?
Yes. But in perhaps the Obama administrations worst fumble, they bypassed just about the entire rule-issuance process.
Decision #7: Breaking All the Rules
In Part Two of this article, to be published following the Thanksgiving holiday, we will discuss how the federal governments Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, acted in a precedence-shattering, secretive manner in issuing orders to state Medicaid agencies regarding how to construct the databases.
We will also discuss the massive security holes created by the allowance of telephonic signature, and the secretaries of State who were left completely in the dark.
We will link, post, and discuss the paper trail and who was involved.
And we will discuss the George Soros-funded Demos organization, which helped push the opt-out approach to Motor Voter, and which happened to be one of the few entities that had any knowledge of the new databases.
Indeed, they happened to have enough knowledge regarding the databases to prepare and publish a report containing state-by-state strategies for taking advantage of them.

HealthCare.gov: Michelle's friends out, Obama campaign donors in.
Published by: Herman Cain
Change you can believe in.
President Obama always finds someone other than himself to blame when things go wrong, and of course he especially likes to blame private-sector corporations. So never mind that CGI Federal, whose senior executive Toni Townes-Whitley was a college classmate of Michelle Obama's, was hired by the Obama Administration to build HealthCare.gov. Nothing here is the White House's fault, ever, by definition, and now we learn that CGI Federal is being fired.
After spending all of that money theyve now come to the conclusion that CGI Federal cant get the job done. I guess that could make for some awkward conversation at Michelle's next class reunion.
You know who theyre gonna hire instead? They're hiring Accenture, which oh by the way just happened to contribute $280,000 to Obama's re-election campaign. I don't think they wanted me to tell you that, but I can't un-say it now! Sorry, Mr. President.
Now heres what I know about IT projects, because as many of you know I've worked on my share of them. If CGI Federal has messed it up so badly that they cant fix it, Accenture is going to have to start all over. Theyre not going to be able to go in and take somebody elses code and fix it. No one in IT does that. Its gonna require a do-over.
So be ready because more delays and more excuses are coming down the road. It's inevitable. In all my years working in IT, I was never given a project where I was supposed to take somebody elses code or system design and go in and fix it. You have to start over, and thats what Accenture is going to do.
So Michelle's friends are out, Barack's contributors are in, and it pays to be connected but it doesn't pay to go shopping for health insurance on HealthCare.gov, because the darn thing still doesn't work.
The Barack Obama presidency. Making your life better through government.

There is a worthwhile debate to be had over whether state laws that disenfranchise felons should be changed or even eliminated. There can be an interesting discussion of how the history of such laws affects that debate. But you would not have known that from Eric Holder's treatment of the subject in a Feb. 10 speech at the Georgetown Law Center in Washington.
The U.S. attorney general told us that statistics can be read to show that felon disenfranchisement laws actually promote recidivism. He said that such laws, which vary from state to state, are rooted in outdated notions going back to colonial days (when no one did any voting). He said that they were used during Reconstruction intentionally, and have been used since (whether intentionally or not is left hanging in the air) to deny the vote to blackswho make up a larger percentage of those convicted of felonies than they do of the general population.
The statistical argument derives from a recent study in Florida that showed a lower recidivism rate for felons whose right to vote had been restored than for those whose right hadn't. However, there is more going on here.
Florida has had, and indeed has broadened, a system that requires felons to go through an application process before their voting rights are restored. Obviously, those who are motivated to navigate such a process self-select as a group less likely to repeat their crimes. Suggesting that the automatic restoration of voting rights to all felons would lower recidivism is rather like suggesting that we can raise the incomes of all college students if we automatically grant them a college degreebecause statistics show that people with college degrees have higher incomes than those without them.
The history suggested by the attorney general is just as deeply flawed. A clue to the flaw lies in his failure to call for a federal law barring state felon disenfranchisement statutes. Why would an administration given to bold legislative action at the federal levelgiven to bold action even without legislationshrink from calling for such action here?
Enlarge Image
United States Attorney General Eric Holder Reuters
The omission becomes less curious when one considers that the history of felon disenfranchisement statutes is tied up intimately in constitutional history. Most particularly, it is tied up with the history of what are known as the Reconstruction amendments: the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitutionthe very amendments that ended slavery and set out the basic guarantees of equality for all under state law.
Abolitionists, viewed at the time as radicals, embraced what has been called a philosophy of formal equality. They not only insisted on the liberation and enfranchisement of former slaves, but also supported the disenfranchisement of criminals, rebels and other wrongdoers.
In its first section, the 14th Amendment guarantees due process and equal protection to the residents of all states. Yet its second section directs that states which deny the right to vote to any male citizens over the age of 21 will lose electors for president and vice president (in proportion that those denied the right bear to the whole number of such citizens)except when such denial is "for participation in rebellion, or other crime."
The Supreme Court has held that this apparent recognition of the legitimacy of felon disenfranchisement in the 14th Amendment insulates the practice against constitutional attack. Even the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude generally, carves out an exception "for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted."
That view, to be sure, has its critics, and their arguments are worth considering. For example, they argue that it is one thing to say that states cannot be denied electors for disenfranchising criminals, and quite another to say that the practice otherwise passes muster.
They note that the 14th Amendment's accommodation of gender-based voting distinctionusing the population of 21-year-old male citizens as the measureitself has been overtaken by history. Still, a fair reply would be that it took a constitutional amendment, the 19th, to do it.
The historical evidence suggests that even Reconstruction progressives saw the 14th Amendment's reference to gender as a political necessity and believed that the crime exception was principled. The concern that former slaves would be disenfranchised for trivial offenses was dealt with in the Military Reconstruction Act of 1867, which confined the sanction to feloniesserious crimes.
Rather than deal directly with the evidence, both statistical and historical, Mr. Holder put the issue squarely in terms of race: Because blacks stand convicted of crimes in greater numbers than their proportion of the population would dictate, the effect on them of felon disenfranchisement statutes is disproportionately high; that disproportion is unjust, and the laws should be repealed. The attorney general proposes substituting for current laws and practice what is essentially a transactional standard implicit in the phrase paying one's debt to society: Once the sentence has been served, the fine paid, it is time to make itas a cleanup-company slogan sayslike it never even happened.
Mr. Holder does not urge that we go as far as the states of Maine and Vermont, which bar disenfranchisement on any basis and thus permit convicts to vote from jail (assuming their residency requirements are otherwise in order). But neither does he display anything but contempt for the notion that there is a moral taint that attaches to a felony convictiona taint that should require that one at least show some brief period of law-abiding existence before full readmission to the polity.
This failure actually hurts his case, because it invites cynicism about his motives. Thus a report in the Washington Post GHC +0.07% ended by citing an academic study showing that if disenfranchised felons had voted in the 2000 election, Al Gore would have been president. That may be true, but it probably doesn't help the attorney general's argument as much as sticking to the facts might have.
Mr. Mukasey served as U.S. attorney general (2007-09) and as a U.S. district judge for the Southern District of New York (1988-2006).

Electoral process, vote fraud: Data sharing between govt and Dem campaigns

James O'Keefe exposes Texas Dems taking government data and using it for partisan, get out the vote operations.
Who has been making that allegation here?
The footage shows Battleground Texas volunteer Jennifer Longoria saying the group uses the phone numbers from voter registration forms in later efforts to boost turnout on election day.
Texas Election Code prohibits the use of, or even the copying of, phone numbers provided by individuals registering to vote.
Every time we register somebody to vote, we keep their name, address, phone number, Longoria said.
The video also shows volunteers calling to boost turnout for Wendy Davis's gubernotorial bid.
The new revelations are likely to add to concerns about an apparent culture of data sharing among Democrat-aligned political and nonprofit organizations.

Try entering a Dem event without 'Voter ID' !
Data-sharing between government agencies and the campaign completes the trifecta of 2012 election scandals, along with IRS targeting and voter fraud. That doesn't count the ugliest part, Candy Crowley and her debate assist on Benghazi or the most blatant part of election stealing, lie to their face and repeat the lie until everyone has it: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2013/dec/12/lie-year-if-you-like-your-health-care-plan-keep-it/ Other than all that, I thought it was a fair contest.

I don't know if anyone would recall I asked how can we find voter fraud if we don't ID people who are voting? How would anyone really know if they are who they claim or even if they are entitled to vote? This is what I mean:
Like Peter King asking for any evidence of unethical use of data acquired by the NSA. "Not one shred of evidence" he loves to shout.
So I'll ask again. How would any of us know? How could we know? How could anyone prove such a thing? Good luck.
Crimes are committed all day long. Smart criminals just do it in ways no one can see. Especially true when no one is looking. Or no one really cares. Or those few who do an easily be persuaded to keep their mouths shut.

Harry Reid used campaign funds to give granddaughter $17,000
Isn't that the same crime that sent James Traficant to prison? (A Democrat who ripped the Clinton administration ruthlessly in the 1990s.)
Harry Reid is still majority Leader.

"Bid to cut voter roles" is of course the way the NYT describes this.
It wouldn't surprise me if 1,000,000 voters nationwide are fraudulent.
It can't even be measured.

Bringing this request forward with a few thoughts.
a. The central point and purpose of the constitution is to define limits on all rule and majority rule in particular. Division of powers and super-majorities required on various important things are examples of this.
b. We are a union of states so the is in each contest in each state for who we want to empower as chief executive.
c. Because of the EC, a distribution of support is required to win.
c. In a close election like happened in Florida 2000, imagine that recount fiasco happening simultaneously in all precincts of all 50 states.
To those who oppose the electoral college I would ask, do you oppose the Senate and the Supreme Court as well. Both are also designed to potentially deny or delay the majority their will.

Cleaning up the wording:
We are a union of states so there is a contest in each state for who we want to empower as chief executive.
Then the states's choices are weighted by size of their populations to balance the states' interests with proportional representation of/by/for the people.
Not a perfect system but better than all the alternatives.
I am also curious what Bigdog thinks of the wisdom of the EC.

Hi guys! I purchased this excellent theme (my second from you) and with a couple of settings the site is on-line. Big smile for my client. Two question: how do I set up the contact form? and What should I set in the sendMail.php? Awsome work guys. Keep the good way. Thanks -Rich
You only need to set your email address in the contact.xml file. If you want to change the standard messages sent by the form you need to edit the sendMail.php file.
Let me know if you have any problem
Hi Parker,
This is one of the best template on activeden, really like it.
Btw, got some concerns and sent you an email, pls check.
Hi Vincent,
I'll check it asap
Hi ParkerAndKent,
Thanks for this great template. Even with some basic knowledge of Action Script I managed to adjust it to my needs. One question: sometimes when I adjust an fla-file in Flash and I make a new swf-file the Helvetica-textfield used in that file becomes very ugly (not smooth but like blocks). This happens only on some Windows pc's. When I put the original file back everything is oke again (the textfield is still Helvetica so it has nothing to do with the fonts installed on the pc).
It happend for example with the title 'Portfolio' on: http://www.bartrijnbout.nl/index.html#/portfolio/world_series
Maybe you have any idea what could be the problem?
Regards, Bart
the only thing I can think of is missing font. Be sure that if you edit the fla files you have the font installed on your computer so they can be successfully embedded within the fla and swf files.

Hi i'm thinking to purchase this item but first i got some questions: Can i disable the thumb feature? (i don't want them to be displayed) I need to add a password-protected gallery, is this possilble? Thank you
thanks! The thumbs can be easily hidden, but to password protect a gallery would be needed a custom work, less or more complicated depending on your specifications.
Let me know.
Ok thank you, but i need to disable the thumb feature. I don't want them to be hidden, i don't want any button fot thumbs at all, just big images. Is that possible? Thank you
yes, you can easily hide all the elements that you don't need, I can tell you exactly which code to use to remove them.
Hi Parker!
Just got into this and I instantly needed to buy your stunning theme. Thanks so much.
For the very first moments I only have 2 short questions, which I could not found in the comments so far:
- is it possible to support the mouse wheel for scrolling longer text in info etc. additionally to the click on the arrows?
- can the order of the images be descending, starting with the latest?
Moreover I would be interested in a mod, which probably isn't possible by now: I would like to have a voluntary square thumb grid view (let's say 10×4 with arrows when more rows are available) upon first view of a gallery or portfolio. Could you implement such a additional page prior to the slide show for me? I guess the actual thumbs just needed to be modified to square (center crop to 80×80px is enough) in a new page.
Thanks for any help. -Yamanote
Sent you an email Parker, which is probably easier to answer. Cheers mate
thanks. I'm in vacation in these days, so I only give support online. I will be available for any customization from aug 25th.
Both your requests need a customization, so right now I can't help you more than this because on my laptop I don't have all the softwares I need.
If you send me an email we could keep in touch when I'll be back.
Great to hear Parker! I really appreciate. Sent you an e-mail right now with some details.
Enjoy your vacation -Yamanote
Got it, I'll keep in touch asap.
I somehow encounter a bug when switching to another category from one of my menus.
I restored the actionscript code to default but still, after the first image has changed a click to another portfolio category from the sub menu leads to a reload with the beginning of the slideshow in the same category. Another click then helps to go to the other page. Now the custom code only contains the position of the logo and the home link on the logo.
Very strange because even offline everything works just fine.
I am not sure where the bug lies, shouldn't be xml nor the flas.
May you check: http://guss.name/tsukuba/ to see, what I mean. Very, very strange …
Cheers and many thanks
UPDATE : This seems to be a problem of editing with Flash CS5 . Even if I don't update anything from your source template just hint CTRL +Enter to export it and upload it to my site, it doesn't work anymore.
UPDATE 2 : Ok, this is definitely not a bug which derives from editing but already within the source. Tried now by uploading a fresh copy and on the test site:
To verify please check: - Go to Portfolio -> start slide show or click on the next image -> try to open Fine Arts -> keeps reloading portraits and beginning with first picture …
You see … would be nice to get a fix soon.
as soon as I go back to my office in the next days I'll check that out. This kind of things depends on the slideshow timings… basically if you switch category in the exact moment the slideshow is changing pictures that could happen, I'll see and I'll let you know.
Hi Parker!
You got any chance to look into this matter yet? Cheers
Ah, damn I misleadingly reported my own comment … I though I reply to you. ... sorry
Anyway, let's type once again:
Thanks for keeping me updated. Would be pleased if you can find a solution after your vacation. I tried a lot and even when changing sections very quickly within a second or two after start, I cannot switch.
Anyway looking forward to your customisations!
Cheers mate Yamanote
I am very impressed with the design/functionality of your template and would like to buy it. I was wondering if the area dedicated to the logo can be more vertical instead of horizontal as my logo covers that kind of shape?
Thanks in advance for your time and answer. Gian
the logo can have any shape, it goes over everything. You add the image directly in a dedicated movieclip inside the source file, so you have total freedom. Obviously a too big logo may cover some contents…
Concerning the above stated issue (partly broken navigation), could you get any new clues how to solve it?
I don't know if you already sent me a link via email… if not send me a link to your template because I need to check something. I've been sick last week so I have a bunch of emails in my mailbox, so I apologize if my support is a little slow in these days.
Hi Parker,
Is it possible to have a different mp3's playing on the different galleries, pages, etc?
Thanks, H.
p.s. Great site!
Hi Parker,

Does this theme comes in HTML5 or any other kind for support of iOS without Flash?
We have the html/css version of Elegant in our ThemeForest portfolio. Obviously the site is not exactly the same, but slmost.

A new Wisconsin Historical Society website is coming mid-May 2014! See a preview >>
Date(s): July 21, 1861Location: Manassas, Virginia (Google Map)Other name(s): Manassas I Campaign: Manassas Campaign (July 1861)Outcome: Confederate victory
The Battle of Bull Run was the first major engagement of the war. This embarassing Union defeat convinced many observers that the conflict would be longer and more brutal than they had anticipated.
After the war opened in April 1861, both sides recruited large armies to protect their capitals at Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Virginia. On July 16, 1861, the Union army began to march from Washington south toward Confederate forces. They encountered the Confederate enemy five days later at Bull Run, a creek near Manassas, Virginia.
On July 21, 1861, roughly 18,000 soldiers took the field for each side and fighting raged throughout the day. When Confederate reinforcements arrived, Union troops retreated in chaos back to Washington. It was at this battle that Confederate General Thomas J. Jackson earned the nickname Stonewall.
Bull Run's 3,461 casualties (1,969 Confederates were killed or wounded and 1,492 Union troops died) shocked observers. The next day President Lincoln called for 500,000 volunteers willing to serve for three years.
This battle should not be confused with the Second Battle of Bull Run fought in the same location on August 29-30, 1862.
The 2nd Wisconsin Infantry was the only Wisconsin regiment engaged at Bull Run. It made several unsuccessful assaults on the enemy position, losing 19 men with 114 wounded. Thirty-eight Wisconsin soldiers were taken prisoner and confined at Richmond. They were released early in 1862.
Read about Wisconsin's 2nd Wisconsin Infantry on pages 439-442 in E.B. Quiners Military History of Wisconsin (Madison: 1866).

Training Tomorrow's Workforce Today!
Preparing a qualified workforce is one of the most important missions of the University. TheĀ UA Statewide Workforce Programs' role is to help facilitate developing industry-driven training and degree programs focused on providing skilled Alaskan workers for Alaskan jobs.
"UA offers programs from developmental preparatory classes, continuing education, career and technical training, professional development training, and degree programs from associate's to post-doctoral. From drillers to doctors, certified nurses to certified engineers, and culinary arts to climate change, all these programs are relevant to the UA workforce development effort," says Fred Villa, associate vice president for UA Workforce Programs.
In addition to baccalaureate and master's degree programs such as nursing, engineering and accounting that involve internships and lead directly to employment, UA campuses provide hundreds of short-term training programs that get people out of the classroom and into a job in 1-2 years or less.
Each campus offers unique programs as well as collaborates across the system to meet education and training needs. Two initiatives currently underway include the Fisheries, Seafood and Maritime Initiative and the Consolidated Alaska Mining Initiative.

Investors should get used to one to two percent economic growth for the foreseeable future, Pimco's Bill Gross told CNBC's "Street Signs" on Tuesday.
"We think that the United States is in a one to two percent growth environment going forward and investors should get used to it" as structural challenges keep growth in check, the Pimco co-founder and co-chief investment officer said.
Earlier Tuesday, Gross released his final investment letter for 2012, where he continued to warn about slower economic growth due to ongoing structural challenges such as high debt levels, a slower growing China and an aging workforce.
These factors could mean economic growth will remain below 2 percent for developed economies worldwide and that returns for stocks and bonds will also be lower than their historical average.
But Gross expects the U.S. economy to benefit from an upswing in the housing market and cheap natural gas.
(Read More: Countries With Aging Populations.)
"Growth has been challenged because much of the rest of the world has taken much of that growth from us in terms of job creation," Gross said. "We need to have policies that basically fight back."
He suggested policies that either devalue the dollar so that exports and manufacturing become more competitive or rebuild aging infrastructure to improve productivity.
In this "new normal" environment, Gross said that investors looking for growth and risk should look to equities in developing economies. "That's where the growth is and where the underdeveloped fiscal and balance sheets are," he said, "and that's where investors are going to experience higher returns."
He recommends investors seeking safer assets look at Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities and high-quality municipal debt in the U.S.

|If You Decide to Switch Banks
Perhaps youre moving, getting married, or just unhappy with your current bank. Your switch to a new bank can be smoother if you do the following:
Balance your checkbook and make sure all outstanding checks have cleared before you close your account. This will ensure that you and the bank agree on how much money is due you. Also, you wont get hit with fees for checks that bounce after you close the account.
Open an account at your new bank before you leave your old bank. That way you can write checks, make ATM withdrawals or otherwise bank without interruption.
If youve arranged for direct deposit of your pay or benefits, dont close the old account until youre sure the next scheduled payment will be going into the new account.
If you arranged with your old bank to regularly transfer money from your account, such as to automatically pay your life insurance premiums or your mortgage, make arrangements for future payments through your new bank.
If youre changing addresses, make sure your old bank has your new address and phone number. Do this in writing. Dont trust a phone call. Your bank may need to contact you weeks or months after you close your account.
Be sure your financial records at home are clear about the fact that your account was closed. Otherwise, you or your heirs some day might believe theres money forgotten in an old bank account and waste time trying to recover it.
Do you have anything in the banks safe deposit box? Remember to clean it out and return the keys.
Keep a copy of the list of helpful bank employees we suggested you compile. They still can help with a question or problem about your relationship with the bank, such as if you need assistance gathering old bank records.

And actually later on in the year, after everything leaves out and get to growing, these little creeks get even tougher to fish. And Tom's comments on the appropriate tackle for best fishing these little creeks becomes even more important than it is in the early season.

Social networks often are thought of as a way to "like" a friend's funny photos, but local school districts are showing the networks' true purpose — to spread information.
Both local school districts have a social media presence now, as Hardin County Schools has created a Facebook page and a Twitter account in the past month as a way of communicating with students, parents and the community, and giving those groups a space to ask questions of the district.

|Head Coach, 10th Year
Adam Ward arrived in Augusta with an ambitious plan and little else. 10 years later, his program has sprinted past respectability and into conference and regional contention on an annual basis.
His tireless efforts and eye for detail and talent on the recruiting trails have spurred the Jaguars into unchartered territory. The GRU men's cross country program, in just its second year of reinstatement in 2011, won the Peach Belt Conference Championships.
In 2012, his men's squad placed fifth at the NCAA Southeast Regionals and had a trio make the All-Region squad. Two months before the regional, the Jags men took runner-up at the PBC Championships. Ward saw five of his Jaguars earn PBC All-Conference as well as five earning All-Academic accolades from the conference.
The GRU women's program has made six consecutive NCAA Regional appearances, a first in the program's history. In 2008, the Lady Jags made their first-ever NCAA Championships appearance in Slippery Rock, Pa., after finishing as the runnerup in the Southeast Regional in Wingate, N.C.
In June, 2012, GRU Augusta Athletics announced the establishment of Women's and Men's Outdoor Track & Field programs, which will be headed up by Ward.
Ward's peers in the PBC have definitely taken notice, selecting Ward the league's Coach-of-the-Year in five of the last six seasons after three consecutive, top-three finishes in the conference during that stretch.
The 2008 edition of the Lady Jags enjoyed unprecedented success, claiming three victories and three runner-up efforts. At the conference championships, GRU had four top-12 finishes and placed four runners on the all-conference squad.
When GRU Augusta finished second in the 2007 PBC championships, it marked the school's best finish since 1995. GRU Augusta went on to place fifth out of 23 teams with three runners in the top 32 at the South Regional.
Under Ward's watch, the Jags have had five All-Southeast Region selections (Jenafer Forward in 2008; Holly Keeper in 2009; Alicia Connolly, Dustin Ross and Robert Blackwelder in 2012), 16 All-Peach Belt Conference selections over the last six seasons and two PBC Freshman-Of-The Year picks.
A 2001 graduate of Murray State University with a B.S. in Exercise Science, Ward served as a volunteer assistant coach with the GRU Augusta cross country program in 2003. He assisted the Murray State cross country program in a similar role in 2001. He is a USA Track and Field Level II certified coach. Ward earned his master's degree in Health & Physical Education from Augusta State in 2005.
Ward is a former president of the local running club Augusta Striders and as an at-large member of the Augusta Sports Council Events and Planning Committee, he was involved in the design of the course for the Augusta Chronicle Half-Marathon that was first staged in October, 2008.
A former Peach Belt Conference representative to the USTFCCCA (U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association) on the DII Executive Council, Ward is also an at-large member of the USTFCCCA Division II Awards Committee.
He is married to the former Ashlynn Young of Augusta, Ga. They are the parents of a son, Carter, and a daughter, Mary Blake.

Watauga Valley picks all-league softball squad
By Tim Chambers
The Watauga Valley softball coaches have made their all-conference selections, tabbing 14 players on the squad.
University High finished the season undefeated in conference play and made the state tournament. The Lady Jr. Bucs were rewarded with five players making the team.
Sarah Mast was tabbed as the leagues MVP. Standout pitcher Haley Faulkner along with Tanner Horton, Mikki Burke and Carolyn Knight round out their five.
A trio of Lady Rangers, Leslie Colbaugh, Kassie Winters and Madison Weaver, earned their way on the team.
Each hit near the .300 clip. Unaka finished second this year after graduating five seniors from its 2011 batter season.
Hope Baker and Hunter McKinney got the nod for Cloudland by leading them to some big wins during the season.
The Lady Highlanders had victories over South Greene, Johnson County and Happy Valley in addition to knocking off Unaka for the first time since 1983.
Baker batted .347 as the leadoff hitter and was a one of the top defensive players in the conference from her catcher's spot.
McKinney hit .320 while winning several big games on the mound for the Lady 'Landers.
Hampton's standout pitcher, Molly Crabtree, is the lone Lady Bulldog on the squad. She ended the season batting .316 and pitched well during her senior season.
North Greene's Mikaela Pridemore, Arian Daughtery and Megan Taylor round out the squad.
Unaka's Autumn Bradshaw and Brandi Ensor, Cloudland's Martina Presnell, Kelly King and Summer Hughes made the honorable mention list. Ditto for Hampton's Danielle Guinn and Haley Trusler.

Services for people with chronic heart failure
Click here for the full interactive guide for commissioners
Click here for the commissioning and benchmarking tool
This guide for commissioners is a resource to assist commissioners, clinicians and managers to commission high quality and evidence based services across England.
- Section 1 makes the case for commissioning services for people with chronic heart failure
- Section 2 An integrated approach to commissioning high-quality integrated care for people with chronic heart failure
- Section 3 helps you assess local service levels
- Section 4 describes service components
- Section 5 makes suggestions for contract specification
- Section 6 explains more about the cost impact of service redesign
- Section 7 signposts to further information
NICE guidance provides evidence based recommendations about clinically effective and cost-effective treatments and interventions to improve health outcomes for individuals and local populations. Making commissioning decisions based on the best available evidence such as NICE guidance and accredited information from NHS Evidence can help commissioners ensure that they are using their resources effectively.
This guide for commissioners should be read together with the following NICE guidance and quality standards:
- Chronic heart failure: management of chronic heart failure in adults in primary and secondary care NICE clinical guideline 108 (2010)
- NICE quality standards on chronic heart failure and depression in adults
- NICE pathways on chronic heart failure and depression
- Depression in adults with a chronic physical health problem: treatment and management NICE clinical guideline 91 (2009)
This guide for commissioners highlights any recommendations supporting cases for disinvestment or decommissioning by identifying treatments and interventions that do not add value, enabling commissioners to release resources or generate savings where appropriate.
Implementation of the guidance noted above is the responsibility of local commissioners and/or providers. Commissioners and providers are reminded that it is their responsibility to implement this guidance, in their local context, in light of their duties to avoid unlawful discrimination and to have regard to promoting equality of opportunity. Nothing in the guidance should be interpreted in a way which would be inconsistent with compliance with those duties.
We are keen to improve the NICE guides for commissioners in order to better meet the needs of commissioners. Please send us your ideas for future topic-specific guides or other comments.
Read the NICE disclaimer for information on the use and accuracy of content on the NICE website.
A topic-specific advisory group was established to review and advise on the content of the guide for commissioners; details of membership can be found in section 8.

Our Fare City
And it's often not the answer to your real question: Am I going to have a good meal and experience at this place?
For that, you need an expert source. A friend who eats out every night. Someone who knows the best dishes to order just about everywhere, and which places to flat-out avoid.
Let us introduce you to Stanley Ehara. He's the regular joe behind the food blog AkuEats.com, and he's just compiled his years of restaurant knowledge into a comprehensive book about eating on O'ahu.
The book, "Island Flavors," covers more than 500 restaurants, and the write-ups are more like rundowns of what you'll find when you visit than true reviews. Ehara gives the inside scoop on special recipes, chef's favorite dishes, and what he personally ate and liked (or didn't like). Plus, there are lots of big, crisp photos of the dishes you'll actually be served, taken right at the table.
Now that's what you call reality bites.
Island Flavors arrives in local bookstores this week. Or order online at www.akueats.com.

Comments about Le Bateleur 1 By Dolce & Gabbana:
A masculine scent that could be pulled off by quite a few women, too. A very pleasant aquatic smell that is reminiscent of the aquatic fragrances that were so much in fashion in the 90s (and seem to be coming back in style lately). A very good alternative to the men's colognes that are being worn by everyone today and are so easily identifiable.

Picked this fragrance based on others' review that it was unisex fragrance.
To me it's much more musky than Unisex and definitely I regret this purchase. Its definately not something a woman should wear. I'll save this in case of emergancy but it will be at the back of the shelf. Should have ordered a sample first :-/

Insect Traps & Lures
Insect traps contain no pesticides! They use pheromones (sexual attractants), visual lures (colors and shapes that are attractive to insects), or food to capture pests. And they're designed not to attract beneficial insects. Whether indoors or out, traps both:
• Monitor pest populations by determining when insects first emerge, their relative numbers and where they are coming from.
• Control pest populations, often keeping them below numbers that will cause real damage. Insect traps not only capture pest but also inhibit their reproduction.
Used in conjunction with other natural pest controls — such as beneficial insects — insect traps can play a major role in your insect control program. Have a specific pest problem you're dealing with? Call or email us and we can suggest the best trap for you.

Ghana's Cardinal Peter Turkson caused outrage among former victims of sexual abuse by priests for linking progressive attitudes to homosexuality and child abuse.
Survivors of abuse by priests say they "fear for the safety of kids in Turkson's diocese if he denies there are predatory priests there."
Cardinal Turkson is currently the second favourite to be the next pontiff, and had been championed by progressives who have urged the Vatican to elect the first African pope.
Cardinal Angelo Scola of Milan is currently favourite to succeed Benedict XVI.
In an interview with CNN, when asked about whether it was possible the Catholic sex abuse scandal could happen in Africa, the cardinal said it would not happen, "to the same extent or proportion as we have seen in Europe"
He continued: "African traditional systems kind of protect or have protected its population against this tendency.
"Because in several communities, in several cultures in Africa homosexuality or for that matter any affair between two sexes of the same kind, are not countenanced in our society.
"So that cultural taboo, that tradition has been there. It has served to keep it out."

Nearly 1 Billion Games Later, Dots Comes to Android and Kindle Fire
Dots, the extremely addictive game that became a big hit among iOS users earlier this year, is now available for Android and Kindle Fire users.
Dots, the extremely addictive game that became a big hit among iOS users earlier this year, is now available for Android and Kindle Fire users.
Dots, the most addictive iPhone game in recent memory, is now optimized for iPad and has added a multi-player option for both devices.
Giphy, a startup that recently launched out of Betaworks, aims to empower the community of GIF creators and consumers by making it easier to search for GIFs.
About 12 years ago, I happened to take my Palm Pilot (remember those?) to a friend's house. A friend of a friend asked if she could borrow it. Sure, I said. She proceeded to download a game called Bubblet, then curled up on the couch with it for the next hour. My curiosity was piqued, and soon I, too, was a Bubblet junkie. It was a simple game -- you got a screen full of bubbles and double-tapped to pop connected ones of the same color.
One of the most talked about companies for online news right now isn't a journalism outlet or a media conglomerate, but rather a small startup incubator and investor located in the heart of Manhattan's meatpacking district. Betaworks, which describes itself as "a company that builds companies," has been in the news a lot lately for acquiring and developing media properties.
Betaworks has been in the news a lot lately for, well, disrupting the news. It recently purchased Instapaper and before that Digg, and it's currently working on an alternative to Google Reader. But on Wednesday, the company announced something that might seem a bit random at first: It's releasing a game. That's right, Betaworks released its first-ever mobile game called Dots. The game, which is only available for iPhone, is as simple as it is addictive.
In the past couple years, an ecology of sorts has come into being among online news sites. It's the blogosphere metastized, maybe, or merged with the money of traditional media. A web writer, or a newspaper reporter or a far-afield staff writer finishes a story and files it into their content management system. She tweets it from her personal Twitter; her publication tweets it, too. It drops into the topmost spot of the homepage.
Do you use Instapaper? No, me neither. But the $3.99 app, which lets you save stuff to read later when outside a wifi or 3G zone, has a small and highly devoted following. Which is why a small segment of Twitter went nuts at the news Thursday that Instapaper was being bought by Betaworks, the burgeoning media tech company that bought the assets of Digg last year.
How the mighty have fallen. The social sharing site Digg has sold for just $500,000 to New York startup incubator Betaworks. The small selling price just goes to show how quickly fortunes can turn for even the hottest web startups. According to The Wall Street Journal, Digg took more than $45 million from investors since launching in 2004. On its blog, Betaworks says it is going to fold Digg into the News.me team.

Twitterfeed is a tool that automatically publishes RSS feeds to social networks with a title and shortened Bit.ly link.

While some Twitterfeed functionality might pop up in Bit.ly at some point, it's not the technology that Bit.ly is after.

It seems as if the idea of mass texting strikes a chord with more than just teenagers -- group texting startup GroupMe has just scored $10.6 million in Series B funding in a round led by Khosla Ventures (with participation from additional new investors, including General Catalyst Partners and First Round Capital, and previous investors Lerer Ventures, Betaworks and SV Angel).
The New York Times is developing a personalized, social news service: News.me. The venerable newspaper is partnering with pseudo-incubator Betaworks to bring the product to market.
