Sarah Palin Already Losing the 2012 GOP Primary
by animated, Sat Oct 25, 2008 at 09:27:05 AM EDT
Along with the superb numbers for Obama (a 53 to 40 lead) in the latest Newsweek poll, we find more bad news for John McCain's VP nominee:
Sarah Palin continues to be a major drag on the McCain ticket. For the first time since McCain picked Palin as his running mate, more voters, 46 percent, have an unfavorable opinion of the Alaska governor, than have a favorable opinion, 44 percent. Nearly a third of voters, 31 percent, say that McCain's choice of Palin makes them less likely to vote for him, while 19 percent say the Palin pick makes them more likely to choose McCain (49 percent say it makes no difference). Perhaps most concerning for the McCain campaign is that 34 percent of independents say the Palin pick makes them less likely to support McCain, compared to 45 percent of Democrats and 9 percent of Republicans.
Of course, that's nearly conventional wisdom by now - Palin is making McCain bleed independents and helping give Obama an edge as we enter the final stretch. But buried near the end of the poll is this fascinating question, asked only of Republicans and Republican leaning voters...
If John McCain is not elected president, which one of the following three possible candidates would you be most likely to support for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012?
The topline results are an amazing repudiation of the McCain/ Palin ticket:
Mitt Romney 35%
Mike Huckabee 26%
Sarah Palin 20%
Other Candidate 10%
Don't Know 9%
Among "traditional" Republicans, it's:
Mitt Romney 42%
Mike Huckabee 23%
Sarah Palin 19%
Other Candidate 9%
Don't Know 7%
Even among "social conservative" Republicans, Sarah still trails Mittens and Huckabee:
Mitt Romney 30%
Mike Huckabee 31%
Sarah Palin 23%
Other Candidate 8%
Don't Know 8%
Now, it's always been assumed that even if Palin had lost moderate and swing voters, she still had the support of the base. And by a 38-9 margin, Republicans say Palin makes it more likely that they will support McCain. But it may be that many Republicans LIKE Palin, but that that doesn't translate into a desire to see her as the presidential nominee in her own race. Quite frankly, it may be that many Republicans see the writing on the wall as much as everyone else and simple believe Palin is not the most qualified candidate. It's also not great news for Giuliani, who apparently is already in the early stages of launching his 2012 effort.
So, while this election is clearly not over, and obviously a lot can happen in 4 years, we're left with an interesting take away - at the moment, Republicans clearly prefer McCain's primary rival, Romney, over his chosen successor, Palin, for 2012.

What happens when an exuberant dreamer who always says "yes" moves in with his overly responsible little sister to help raise her five-year-old daughter? BEN AND KATE, a new single-camera ensemble comedy, follows a pair of odd-couple siblings and their friends as they push each other out of their comfort zones and into real life.
KATE FOX (Dakota Johnson) followed the rules all her life...until she got pregnant in college and dropped out just shy of graduation. After the birth of her daughter, MADDIE (Maggie Elizabeth Jones), Kate put her 20s on hold. Now working as a bar manager to make ends meet and maximize her time with Maddie, she's uber-prepared for every possible catastrophe - except for the arrival of her older brother, BEN FOX (Nat Faxon).
Ben likes trouble a lot more than his sister does. His infectious energy makes everyone want to follow him into any number of bad ideas. He'll totally screw up their lives, but somehow, they'll feel good about it. Where Kate is all about planning and preparing, Ben is big on spontaneity and out-of-the-box ideas. But don't let the Velcro wallet fool you - he'll probably be a millionaire someday.
When Ben comes to crash on Kate's couch for a few days, he finds a sad state of affairs. For the first time in their lives, Kate needs Ben's help, and he's determined to bring some much-needed chaos into her overly stable world. He starts by looking after Maddie so Kate can get back to making mistakes, since the one real "mistake" she's made turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to her.
Always there to help with Ben's crazy schemes is his partner-in-crime, TOMMY (Echo Kellum), who worships Ben like a hero and nurses a serious crush on Kate. Kate's British best friend, BJ (Lucy Punch), is a cocktail waitress at the bar and an all-around hot mess who would do anything for Kate, even if it's questionable or illegal.
From writer/executive producer Dana Fox (NEW GIRL, "What Happens in Vegas") and executive producer/director Jake Kasdan (NEW GIRL, "Bad Teacher"), BEN AND KATE is a heartwarming story of deeply mismatched siblings: a sister who needs to go for her dreams and a brother who needs to get his head out of the clouds.

Toxoplasmosis is a common infection in people, birds, and animals that often is not noticed or may cause mild flu-like symptoms. But the infection can cause problems for a fetus (when the mother becomes infected) and for people who have weakened immune systems.
Human infection usually happens when a person eats food that contains the toxoplasmosis parasite, such as undercooked meat from an infected animal. You also can get infected by touching an infected cat or its feces. Most people develop an immunity during the 2 months after the infection.

I have to say I wasn't expecting Brandon Graham to be the pick at No. 13 once I heard the Eagles had traded up to that spot.
Not that Graham can't help them. When you think about it, he's exactly what the Eagles look for in their defensive linemen. They like the — scouting jargon here — high-motor guys who can play a number of spots, and that fits Graham.
But is he a left end?
Graham played right end at Michigan, and many teams projected him to be a stand-up outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense. But Trent Cole is the Eagles' right end, and last time I checked he was the team's best lineman who plays all three downs.
The concerns about moving Graham to the left side, which is what I am thinking they will do, is that he'll have to fight through a little more trash on the tight-end side and be the team's best run-stopping end.
I am still processing this move, but there's no question that Graham is a very good football player. In the same way that LaMarr Woodley would make a fine 4-3 end — although, a right end probably — I think Graham should have no trouble playing in a two-point stance in the pros, just as he did in college.
The Eagles' system prefers quickness over size, so the body fit is good. But we'll see if he can handle a different side of the field and new responsibilities.
And the price to land Graham was moderately high: two third-round picks (No. 70 and No. 87). The Eagles still have the two second-rounders, which are very valuable, and they might move back with the second of those picks to get back into Round Three. But they had to be sure that Graham was not going to make it another 4-5 picks to move that far up and pay that price.

Police say a New Jersey man mixed Rice Krispies and oregano and sold it as marijuana to a 17-year-old for $210.

The girl is charged with a drug offense.

My husband is type 1 diabetic and I need to know carb content along with fibre and fat. Was disappointed that nothing was at the end of this recipe to indicate any nutritional content at all. Most people would at least like to know the calorie count. Would like to try this but hubby won't be able to have any. Please consider that info in future and existing recipes. Thanks.

love your receipys.....but would like to know the calories....we are trying to loose weight and it is so hard....love your program and how did you loose your weight....looking good....Judy
By Judy Nusser on March 02, 2013
Bland, without flavour. Took 2.5 hours to make and this with a cooked chicken. Crepes were good but making these without the mushroom soup and oignon would be best. And the recipe has so much fat in it (2 cheeses) that you don't even end up tasting. Paula Deen has no taste buds.
By maria g on November 30, 2012
Very good and easy to make. Store bought crepes are fine, but they break very easily. I suggest home-made crepes. Slight modifications to the ingredient amounts are fine.
By Danielle Shrode on February 12, 2012
Making these for dinner because it's on Food Network right now. Though, we're a household of vegetarians, so we're subbing out the chicken for our soy chicken substitutes, and using broccoli instead of asparagus (because we don't have any and don't feel like going to the store for one thing >.<). Can't wait to try it!

I need to make this recipe for 125 people serving 2 per person. How should I calucalate the amount needed in this receipe.
By Barb on February 08, 2011
This recipe produces exceptionally delicious crepes! The only trouble is that the recipe says it is easy and takes only a few minutes. That is simply not true. I spent about two hours preparing, considering that I had to cook the chicken, bone it, cut it up, chop onion, shred two cheeses, prepare and parboil the asparagus, butter the pans, fill the crepes, etc. And this does not include making the crepes. I bought those at the market!

U8s Winners - Old Whitgiftians RFC
On Sunday 21st April 2013 our BRITA Community Cup kicked off at Farnham Royal RUFC in South Bucks, with over 300 players from 46 teams in the U7s and U8s age-groups. 24 x U8s teams and 22 x U7s teams travelled from all across the southern region to come together for the festival, with clubs from Middlesex, Essex, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and Sussex participating.
London Wasps player Stuart Commins joined the festival to meet the young players and commented, "The BRITA Community Cup is a great opportunity for these young players to test their skills against new opponents. I was really impressed with the standard of play and how much effort the young kids were putting in. Tag Rugby looks like a really exciting game to play."
The U7s and U8s Cup Finalists formed our Tunnel of Honour to welcome the London Wasps and Exeter Chiefs players on to the Adams Park Stadium pitch, before warming up for their finals at the full-time whistle of the Aviva Premiership. The U7s Final was an all Brighton RFC affair with the 'Redbeards' playing the 'Blackbeards' with a shared Cup outcome. The U8s Final saw Old Whitgiftians RFC take on Guildfordians RFC in a very close game, with the lead changing hands on a few occasions before Old Whitgiftians RFC finally came out 5 - 4 winners.
U7s Joint Winners - Brighton RFC Blackbeards & Redbeards
London Wasps players James Cannon and Nicky Robinson watched the finals before joining Clive Seabrook (Managing Director of BRITA Water Filter Systems) to present the finalists with their medals and BRITA Fill & Go water bottles . Event Organiser Ian Isham told wasps.co.uk, "I would like to thank all of the players, coaches and parents for bringing their teams along and making the day such a success. Some of the rugby I have seen has been top class, and the sportsmanship shown by all has been really impressive. I look forward to next year where hopefully we can make BRITA Community Cup even bigger and better."
We would like to thank venue hosts Farnham Royal RUFC, Dair House School for allowing us to use their parking facilities, all of the players, coaches and spectators for contributing to a great grassroots rugby event and BRITA for their continued support.
U8s Runners-Up - Guilfordians RFC
Conrad Murray from Old Whitgiftians RFC said, "We had a brilliant day and thanks again to you guys for such a well organised event. What a pleasure. We will be back again for sure."
Charles Gilbank from Wendens Ambo RFC said, "Thank you so much for today. What a wonderful tournament, extremely well run, efficient and a joy to play in. Our boys loved the atmosphere and the game and we hope to come again next year."
Jeremy Tilley from Brighton RFC said, "On behalf of Brighton Minis U7s and U8s I would like to thank you for a really well run tournament and the level of care we received from all the people involved from registration in the morning to the refereeing which was a great standard to the guys at Adams Park who looked after the kids so well. We had a great time and Wasps and BRITA have helped to create a lot of great memories for the kids and some of our hardier old Pirates."
Tim Jones from Brighton RFC said, "Once again, thank you Wasps for showing how to organise a festival and for creating the most special day for hundreds of 6, 7 and 8 year olds. They loved every minute, played their hearts out, cheered their hosts and went home tired and happy. The organisation was exemplary, the referees clear, fair and precise, and the timing perfect. And the weather helped.
Stuart Ashton from Drifters RFC said, "I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for yesterday! It was brilliantly organised and I'd like you to pass on my thanks to the referees that we had. It was a shame on missing out on making the U7s cup final on try difference but it didn't impact on our day. Our guys are looking forward to having another tilt at the U8s cup next year."
Dave from Reading Abbey RFC said, "Would just like to say a big thank you from Abbey RFC for all your efforts yesterday. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it was a pleasure to attend such a well organised tournament."
John from Hampstead RFC said, "Thanks again for a great day it was a big step up for us as we'd not played at what was A team level so we knew it would stretch the players and with new rules first time it was great to have all that in one day. Our players really got stuck in and learnt a lot. The refs were great. Hope to see you at another event so please keep us on the mailing list!!"
Angela from Guilfordians RFC said, "Great festival and look forward to returning as U9's next year."

26 cyclists started a 400-mile trek to Washington, D.C. Saturday hoping to stop gun violence.
The 26 cyclists represent each victim that was killed during the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
The event organizers are urging lawmakers to create tougher gun control laws.
"I ride for love, the love of innocence and beauty of a child who's life was so full of dreams and boundless possibilities -- I ride for Grace," said Chris McDonnell, father of one of the young victims.
The riders are due to arrive on Capitol Hill Tuesday and politicians are scheduled to meet next week to discuss possible changes to gun legislation.

California Solar Generation Project
Earlier this week, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced an offer of a conditional commitment for a $1.187 billion loan guarantee to support construction of a new, large-scale solar facility in California. According to DOE, the project is expected to create over 350 jobs and produce enough energy to power 60,000 homes. Visit the Energy Blog to read more about the project.

expensive jobs project $3400000 per
It is so heartening to see so much money invested in sustainable energy. I guess 60,000 homes isn't a great deal in the global scheme of things but it's a whole lot better than none. If all governments made the same contribution it sure would add up to something significant for our planet.
We in California appreciate any constructive assistance in developing alternatives like solar, wind, desalination, etc. It would create a more dynamic and competitive economy.

The talk of an undefeated season is over for the Falcons, but the playoff hopes for the Saints and Buccaneers are still alive coming off Week 10 wins.

Friday's 60-second rant: Bucs, NFC South could play spoiler

Atlanta has placed Moore on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.||||||| Williams, a second-round pick from Missouri, is latest Falcons defensive back to suffer an injury. Brian Williams suffered a season-ending knee injury against Chicago.

Syracuse Orange basketball lost two straight games coming into tonight's matchup against the Seton Hall Pirates, but both were to top-10 teams. After falling to Pitt and Villanova, at least Cuse still had a top-10 ranking of its own, and at least it could bounce back at home against Seton Hall. Whoops!
The Pirates had ideas of their own, emphatically beating Syracuse 90-68. How big of an upset was this? Seton Hall still doesn't have a winning record even after the win.
Seton Hall guard Jeremy Hazell went nuts for 28 points and nine rebounds, a game high in points and the second-most boards of any player behind Syracuse's Rick Jackson. Five Pirates mustered double figures, with the team shooting well over 50 percent on the day. Syracuse shot only 36 percent, and there's your ball game.
Cuse has to get it right against Marquette, while Seton Hall gets Providence at home.

Dear US Soldiers And Veterans: Avoid The Following Hospitals Like The PlagueSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/29/2014 10:35 -0400
The VA scandal was just the beginning. According to Internal documents obtained by New York Times, US military healthcare is "a system in which scrutiny is sporadic and avoidable errors are chronic." As the NYT reports In Military Care, a Pattern of Errors but Not Scrutiny, "the military system has consistently had higher than expected rates of harm and complications in two central parts of its business — maternity care and surgery."

Sarajevo Is The Fulcrum Of Modern History: The Great War And Its Terrible AftermathSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/28/2014 21:21 -0400
One hundred years ago today the world was shook loose of its moorings. Every school boy knows that the assassination of the archduke of Austria at Sarajevo was the trigger that incited the bloody, destructive conflagration of the world's nations known as the Great War. But this senseless eruption of unprecedented industrial state violence did not end with the armistice four years later. In fact, 1914 is the fulcrum of modern history. It is the year the Fed opened-up for business just as the carnage in northern France closed-down the prior magnificent half-century era of liberal internationalism and honest gold-backed money. So it was the Great War's terrible aftermath - a century of drift toward statism, militarism and fiat money - that was actually triggered by the events at Sarajevo.

Is Obamacare Bad For US Economic Growth?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/28/2014 19:28 -0400
Following the rather stunning shenanigans of Q1 GDP with regard healthcare spending (as we detailed here), we thought, four years after its passage in 2010, it worth analyzing Obamacare's economic impact? Beforehand, economists generally believed that the broader coverage would raise the demand for healthcare goods and services, although there was some disagreement about related effects on healthcare inflation. In reality, as UBS notes, there was too much optimism about a positive immediate economic impact and a negative price inflation effect.

Shinzo Abe And The Three Magic ArrowsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/28/2014 21:34 -0400
Abe's arrows have been praised in the media by the economically ignorant, the politically motivated, and those who believe prosperity is parceled out by some all powerful shaman. However, the arrows, seen in the harsh light of reality, turn out to be counterfeiting schemes, "investing" in money losing ventures, taking money from the productive, and squabbling with the neighbors. These counterproductive political actions won't ever result in a stronger economy and have instead left the Japanese people with a crushing debt and tax burden. Don't get taken in by the hogwash you read in mainstream media propaganda pieces. Abe's policies are complete and utter failures.

"The Battle For Baghdad" - A Backgrounder On ISIS' Grand PlanSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/28/2014 20:44 -0400
It is no secret that the extremist al-Qaeda Jihadist group known as ISIS for short, which in the span of weeks has overrun the northern part of Iraq, has grand ambitions to not only preserve its power in the north and central regions, as well as the border with Syria, but to ultimately proceed south where not only Baghdad is located but also the great energy infrastructure of the country: "the grand prize" for ISIS as it would make the extremist group viable and financially self-sustaining. But how and when will this "Battle for Baghdad" take place? For the answer we go to a backgrounder prepared by the Institute for the Study of War titled, as expected, "ISIS Battle Plan for Baghdad" which lays it out in detail.

Crushing The Q2 "Recovery" Dream In 1 Simple ChartSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/28/2014 20:00 -0400
For a week or two, the 'news' appeared to confirm the 'hope'; faith that Q1's dysphoria would emerge phoenix-like into Q2 euphoria as a 'hibernating' American public emerging from their weather-shelter and spent-spent-spent all their borrowed-borrowed-borrowed money. That ended last week! Despite the dramatically low volume liftathon in stocks since the FOMC meeting, major risk markets around the world are cracking. European bonds and stocks had a bad week, Treasuries rallied the most in 6 weeks, and the key to it all, USDJPY, slipped to 4 week lows. Why? As the chart below shows, US macro data is collapsing again (right on cue) and stands at 2-month lows... (and is the worst-performing macro nation in the world this year!)

"Massive Change Is Upon Us" - The Three 'E'sSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/28/2014 18:28 -0400

Q2 Economic "Hope" Misses The PointSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/28/2014 16:36 -0400
As individuals, it is entirely acceptable to be "optimistic" about the future. However, "optimism" and "pessimism" are emotional biases that tend to obfuscate the critical thinking required to effectively assess the "risks". The current "hope" that Q1 was simply a "weather related" anomaly is also an emotionally driven skew. The underlying data suggests that while "weather" did play a role in the sluggishness of the economy, it was also just a reflection of the continued "boom bust" cycle that has existed since the end of the financial crisis. The current downturn in real final sales suggests that the underlying strength in the economy remains extremely fragile. More importantly, with final sales below levels normally associated with the onset of recessions, it suggests that the current rebound in activity from the sharp decline in Q1 could be transient.

Forget "The January Effect", Fall Is The Season Of VolatilitySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/28/2014 15:36 -0400
There are a few "market anomalies" affecting the seasonality of stock returns that have captured some investor attention, like the day-of-the-week effect or the January effect, for example. They are called anomalies because – according to financial theory – the market should arbitrage away the regularity of such patterns. But in reality, it does not. As Goldman notes, there are similar patterns exist with respect to market volatility; and they are equally puzzling.

"To My Fellow Filthy Rich Americans: Wake Up, People. The Pitchforks Are Coming"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/28/2014 13:27 -0400
To: My Fellow Zillionaires - "You probably don't know me, but like you I am one of those .01%ers, a proud and unapologetic capitalist. I have founded, co-founded and funded more than 30 companies across a range of industries - from itsy-bitsy ones like the night club I started in my 20s to giant ones like Amazon.com, for which I was the first nonfamily investor... But let's speak frankly to each other. Seeing where things are headed is the essence of entrepreneurship. And what do I see in our future now? I see pitchforks... And so I have a message for my fellow filthy rich, for all of us who live in our gated bubble worlds: Wake up, people. It won't last. If we don't do something to fix the glaring inequities in this economy, the pitchforks are going to come for us."

Mexican Military Chopper Shoots At US Border Guards After Entering American Airspace; Mexico DeniesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/28/2014 10:26 -0400
Late last week, Mexico appears to have taken the US "border-crossing" issue to a whole new level even if it was really a case of a drug bust gone horribly wrong, when as AP reported, on Thursday Mexican law enforcement crossed into Arizona by helicopter and fired two shots at U.S. border agents, a border patrol union leader says. According to the Customs and Border Protection: "At approximately 5:45 a.m. Thursday morning, a Mexican law-enforcement helicopter crossed approximately 100 yards north into Arizona nearly 8 miles southwest of the Village of San Miguel on the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation while on a law-enforcement operation near the border. Two shots were fired from the helicopter, but no injuries or damage to U.S. property were reported. The incident is currently under investigation." Art del Cueto, president of the local border patrol union, said four agents were in a marked patrol vehicle when they were shot at. "They could say they didn't fire at the agents intentionally. But for them to say that they were no shots fired within the United States, toward the United States Border Patrol, is a lie. They got in contact with our managers and apologized for the incident," del Cueto said.

The Panic Behind The Propaganda: Why The Fed Wants You To Sell Your BondsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/27/2014 13:30 -0400
As Barclays Joe Abate warns, delivery fails in the Treasury market have surged recently. Whil enot at the scale of the 2008 crisis, we suspect the spike is what is paniccing the Fed to say "the market is wrong", talk up short-end rates, and implore the public to sell-sell-sell their bonds. The Fed's market domination has meant massive collateral shortages (as we have detailed previously) and now more even that during last year's taper-tantrum, the repo market is trouble. But why do I care about some archaic money-market malarkey? Simple, Without collateral to fund repo, there is no repo; without repo, there is no leveraged positioning in financial markets; without leverage and the constant hypothecation there is nothing to maintain the stock market's exuberance (as we are already seeing in JPY and bonds). Q.E.D.

What's The Biggest Business In Your State?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/27/2014 21:45 -0400
A state economy is nothing without the businesses that call it home. But, as WaPo notes, those businesses are not created equally - bigger businesses naturally have outsized influence, generating more revenue, paying more taxes and employing more people. As Bloomberg notes below, some are less surprising - GM runs Michigan, ExxonMobil runs Texas, and Berkshire Hathaway runs Nebraska but for Washington (home of Microsoft), it is CostCo that runs the state. So what's the biggest business in your state?
