While you are busy perusing every inch of Kate Upton's bodypainted "swimsuit" in the the throne-room-only slobberfest known as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, allow me to fill you in with the latest on our other annual winter's delight. Otherwise known as the World of College Hoops.

ESPN's Andy Katz turned into Jim Boeheim's whipping boy last night, after the coach's Orange spit out the bit at UConn.
Seems Katz chatted up academically reinstated James Southerland during 'Cuse's shootaround, learning from the ultimate source that the suspension snafu was over a couple of paragraphs — one would assume plagiarized — in a term paper. Katz dutifully reported it.
When Katz asked Boeheim a question in the post game presser, the coach called the reporter "stupid" and "disloyal" and "other things" and refused to answer his question.
Tough luck, Andy. If you had done the same thing to a Louisville player, you wouldn't have had to worry about a public dressing down. Many times, Rick Pitino doesn't even show up to face the press after a bad loss. Like last Saturday night in South Bend.
Plus there may be stuff simmering unseen underneath the surface with the long time Syracuse coach. On the one hand, he's receiving kudos over all those career Ws. On the other, there was that Bernie Fine thing. Plus, perhaps, "other things." I recall a conversation with a member of the national media early in the season, somebody plugged in to the hoops scene, who advised the shit's gonna hit the fan after the season, which could well be Boeheim's last.
According to that source, news will leak about failed drug tests through the years, and a systematic sweeping of that problem under the carpet.
Stay tuned. Especially to Katz. If something along those lines does indeed break, I trust Andy shall be the first to report it.

It was with some sadness that I read Russ Smith's cybergalactic retort to his critics, who have been dissing his performance at crunch time against Notre Dame.
I'm one of the guilty parties.
While I've used some harsh words, I've tried to make it clear that he isn't the main culprit.
It was his coach that gave him no in-game direction. Over and over and over and over and over again. It was his coach, who apparently hadn't properly schooled his ball handlers and others on the floor about late game situations and how to execute. It was his coach who didn't call any timeouts to set up possible game winning plays.
I trust you know the mentor of which I speak. Hint: He's the one who didn't show up to answer questions after the game.
As for Russ, keep on truckin', dude. Try to learn from your mistakes. Raise up your head when you're full throttle to the hoop, open your eyes, you may have company wearing the same uni with an easier shot than you.

The Flavor of the Month is Jim Larranaga and his Miami Hurricanes.
Last evening, the U won a tight one in Tallahassee. It may be the most telling W of the year, given it was over a tough league rival on the road, while riding a heretofore unknown wave of national adulation.
Seems Luke Hancock's former coach is a technocrat. Loves Ken Pomeroy's statistical analysis of the college hoops scene. Feels it is the only true measure of performance.
Miami ranks 8th at kenpom.com.

Which brings me back, as these discussions always do, to my Louisville Cardinals.
If you've clicked that link, you will note our homies, despite five losses, rank 3d.
To paraphrase grannie, "from the computer's mouth to God's ear."
I hope it is a true assessment, but, as I've admonished before, computers don't measure the will to win.
If you think the Cards would get the better right now of Michigan State or Indiana or Florida or Duke, raise your hand. I do not.
That negativitude stated, U of L does have a perfect slate to get well in the coming weeks. The Johnnies and Seton Hall at the Yum!. South Florida and hapless DePaul on the road. Then season-ending tests at Syracuse, and back home for the Bearcats and what history says will be an overtime season capper with those nettlesome Fighting Irish.
Last year, U of L finished the regular season, 2-4. The Cards have lost 4 of their last 7 this campaign. Let's hope they kick it into gear . . . now.

You gotta feel for Nerlens Noel.
This is an unassuming kid with the classic "upside." He never woofed. Always played hard. Improved steadily from game to game.
You gotta wish him a speedy and full recovery. And I do.
It will be fascinating to watch what develops for the Cats?
UK is still 18th in the Pomeroy rankings, but will surely drop out of the human polls.
The Cats are now 50-1 in Vegas to win it all. Lunardi has them a #9 seed. Some pundits, like Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy, have them nip and tuck to make the dance. Their RPI is in the mid 40s.
UK travels to Tennessee (in new Nike unis), Arkansas and Georgia. The Cats host Mizzou, Mississippi State and Florida before the SEC tourney.
Can this diminished group get their act together?

I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to former Cardinal Jared Swopshire.
He also suffered a season-ending knee injury. In Swop's case, it is also career-ending. Unless you count a Thursday night beer league at the Y.

The World Wide Leader made an interesting production decision last night.

Before I'm outta here, my dark horse report.
Larry Eustachy's Colorado State Rams are 20-4 in the really tough Mountain West.
Last night, they bested San Diego State, 66-60. The Rams are ranked in a human poll for the first time in 59 years.

Too bad Prince Harry's camouflage didn't have the same effect on the international media as it did on the Afghanistan landscape.
Just one day after the British Ministry of Defense confirmed reports that the third heir in line to the throne had been deployed on the front lines of the Middle East, officials announced they were pulling the royal from service out of concerns for his safety.
The 23-year-old arrived in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan on Christmas Eve and has spent the last 10 weeks serving as a Tactical Air Controller, or J-TAC, where his primary function was to call up aircraft on bombing missions in support of ground forces.
While that main duty was done from a fortified position, he was also regularly sent out on foot patrol, and the worldwide coverage all but pinpointing his location has led officials to safeguard the prince from targeted Taliban attacks by sending him home.
The Ministry of Defense called the rampant reporting of Harry's deployment by "elements of the foreign media...regrettable," and said that while the prince was expected to return to Britain in a matter of weeks, the situation had now "clearly changed."
"Following a detailed assessment of the risks by the operational chain of command, the decision has been taken...to withdraw Prince Harry from Afghanistan immediately," the Ministry said.
The decision to pull Harry out of the combat zone comes after the collapse of a media blackout. While U.K. reporters and media outlets were already aware of his deployment, they entered into an embargo agreement with the military not to report on his service until he returned home safely.
The jig was up, however, when the Drudge Report broke the news, in turn claiming that it had pieced together information from Australian press last month.
Despite his getting pulled out—military officials are not saying how or when Harry will be brought home, and have asked the media not to speculate—in such a sudden and unexpected way, all involved say the prince, and his country, have every reason to be proud of the soldier.
His grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, said he had done "a good job in a very difficult climate."
The British prime minister, Gordon Brown, said the nation owed him "a debt of gratitude" and thanked Harry for the "professionalism and dedication he has shown," but added that "security considerations come first."
In exchange for their silence until now on Harry's deployment, several media outlets were granted access to the prince in Afghanistan, with the videos and interviews now being released freely.
In a series of front-line interviews with BBC News, Harry, who was kept from being deployed to Iraq with the rest of his unit last spring due to safety concerns, stressed how important serving was to him and how it allowed him "an opportunity to be a normal person."
When asked if he ever wished, given his denial last year to serve with his unit and the current concerns for his safety, as evidenced by his local Afghan nickname "the bullet magnet," if he wasn't a royal, he replied, "I wish that quite a lot, actually."
"All my wishes have come true," he went on to say. "This is about as normal as I'm going to get."
Harry also spoke, to his own surprise, of not missing any of the creature comforts of home.
"I haven't really had a shower for four days, haven't washed my clothes for a week and everything seems completely normal...No, I don't miss booze, if that's the next question."
Still, some of his replies, heard in the wake of the past two days' events, now carry with them a twinge of irony and, no doubt, regret.
"I think now I've come out here, it's proved the point that if it's done the right way and kept quiet in certain areas, then it can be done. And as far as I'm concerned, I'm out here as a normal J-TAC on the ground and not Prince Harry.
"No one really knows where I am, and I prefer to keep it that way in the meantime until I can get back home in one piece, and then I can tell everyone where I was."
Harry also spoke of the support he got from family, from his grandmother the queen, who was very "pro" him going; to his "upset" and potentially jealous brother, William; his father, Prince Charles; and even his late mother, Princess Diana.
"Hopefully she'd be proud. William sent me a letter saying how proud he reckons she would be...She'd be looking down and having a giggle about the stupid things I've been doing, going left when I should have gone right, the awkward position I was in earlier today," he said. "I've only been out here for a short time. I hope to be out here for a lot longer."

Criminal Justice
Judge Probed re DA's Claim of Possible 'Unauthorized and Illegal Judgments' in DWI Cases
Posted Feb 28, 2012 5:15 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A North Carolina judge has been removed from hearing criminal cases and is being investigated concerning a claim by the Wake County District Attorney of a "disturbing pattern of what may be unauthorized and illegal judgments" in driving-while-intoxicated cases.
A letter from DA Colon Willoughby to Chief Resident Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens raised the issue and resulted in the investigation of county Judge Kristin Ruth, the News & Observer reports.
She told the newspaper she plans to cooperate fully in the investigation but declined to comment specifically, saying that she didn't want to take any chance of interfering with the investigation.
At issue in a probe now being pursued, in response to Willoughby's letter, by the State Bureau of Investigation is whether conviction dates were changed in driving-under-the-influence cases, after the defendants dropped their appeals, in order to shorten or eliminate the periods in which the defendants' driver's licenses would be suspended, the article explains.
Ruth, who in 2010 was elected vice president of the North Carolina Bar Association, unsuccessfully sought election to the state court of appeals in 2008.

Was suprised to find only one other review that mentions the small size of the finger hole. My hands are average in size and although I can get my thumb into the thumb hole, I can't get the knuckles of any fingers through the finger hole for any kind of real leverage. Full size scissors, child size finger hole. Too sharp for kids!They are stainless, but light duty. The blades have a proper curve like good scissors do, so the cutting V moves down the blades as you close them. I've cut boxes, amazon packages, and plastic bags open and they are sharp, but not for heavy duty use. But, like many people, I got them for free. I just don't want anyone actually paying a buckfor them to find out they can't get good leverage on them.

They actually work well.
By Tupu the chicked plucker.
from Eagan, MN
I needed a cheap pair of kitchen shears to cut up 20 lbs. of chicken (I buy in bulk). I was getting ready to place an order for some other tools with HF anyway, so I saw these and thought I would give them a try. I figured if they didn't work I really wasn't out anything; on sale they were almost free. To my surprise they worked great. I had to use a little bit of force to cut thru the leg bone (that is, if I missed the joint) but the point is – they didn't break! I really don't know how well they work on other stuff but they sure worked well on chicken bones. I ordered 2 more pairs on my next order.

Good scissors
By Carolyn
I bought a pair for myself and loved them. I went back and bought about 12 more for gifts. Of course they had a sale "after" I bought them. I've used them for cutting coupons, fabric, new items out of the plastic claim shell case. They are even handy in the kitchen. Highly recommend them.

Great for Heavy Fabric
By Ron
I use these for all kinds of stuff, but recently for cutting 1680D Cordura fabric. Did much better than any of the average fabric scissors I had around the house. Bought 5 pairs for the house and shop.
lightweight and cuts great
By Kevin G in SoDak
these may look like plastic but they are actually some type of nylon which is much stronger then normal plastic. but the cutting part is stainless steel with a little bit of a serrated edge which makes these very sharp.they cut very well, nice clean smooth cuts.at .99 cents each i have several in my house and a few in my woodshoplightweight and they cut great and are cheap, what more could you want?

No truth in Chung-Yong Lee and Zat Knight exit talk - Dougie Freedman
6:37pm Monday 10th February 2014 in Sport By David Pye
WHITES manager Dougie Freedman has rubbished rumours linking Chung-Yong Lee and Zat Knight with Reebok exits.
Speculation yesterday linked Hull with a £3million bid for the Korean, while Knight was reportedly a target for MLS outfit Philadelphia Union.
But Freedman says there have been no enquiries for either player.
He said: "I have seen the paper talk about Chungy but we have never had one enquiry – not one phone call.
"It's the same with Zat Knight. He has never approached me and said he wants to play in the MLS; in fact, I think he wants to continue playing in England and do his coaching badges."
The Bolton News understands a bid to bring in a defender on loan yesterday fell through.

Hey, I am really confused! My ex (former BGF) Dylan asked me out at the beggining of the school year, and I turned around and was like "awkward!!", but then the school dismissel bell saved me from that weird convo. We didn't talk for 3 days and then we pretended it didn't happen. But the 2nd day of summer he asked me out over the phone. But it wasn't even him on the phone it was his my other BGF Noah. I said yes and we hung out for two days then he got his bff Walter to dump me! How do I react??

one of my friends is bisexual and she is pretty popular and none of us care. she's just our friend
by soccerlover99 on 6/24/2012 12:15:51 PM
My friend is an asexual (not attracted to anyone) and I have a awesome friend who is a lesbian. I support them both. Sexuality doesn't define a person or determine what kind of person they are.
My advice to the girl is don't tell people that he's gay until he says you can. Just be there for for him,if he is gay. If he's not, it's okay to be mad at him. You may feel fustrated and maybe kinda confused, that's okay. You def shouldn't blame yourself.(I know people do that.) Good luck and best wishes to both you and him!

At least he told you, one of my friends found out that her bf was bisexual by accident. He didnt even tell her and she found out by seeing some of the sites he visited online for gay guys and became heartbroken over it.
She confronted him and he admitted to her that he liked both males and females. To this day I think she is still hurt by the whole thing and she even thought he was just saying that so he could break up with her but with him it was true.

There isn't one Heaven, each soul generates its own paradise.
– Castiel, 6.20 The Man Who Would Be King
Heaven was created by God. It serves as a dwelling place and a base of operations for angels, and is a final resting place of worthy deceased souls.
God resided in Heaven with his angels until his departure sometime in the distant past. In God's absence, the archangel Michael led the angelic Host and directed the affairs of Heaven. Raphael was also an authority. The appearance of angels in Heaven is not necessarily human, even though they may be perceived in that manner by deceased souls. For example, Zachariah says that in Heaven he has six wings and four faces. Angels draw some of their powers - demonic exorcism, healing and possibly resurrection - from Heaven.[1] Those who fall and are "cut-off" from Heaven are weakened, and are not allowed to return on their own. It is still possible for the banished to communicate with Heaven. Anna can hear other angels speaking, even without her grace. Castiel is able to communicate with Sam and Dean through a link to electronic equipment - such as a radio or TV - in their memories.
Heaven also serves as a destination for deserving human souls after death. They occupy the happy memories they experienced on Earth, reliving them in their personal Heavens. It is unknown how a human soul is allowed salvation in Heaven. Joshua suggests that it is on a case-by-case basis and can be God's decision; this is the case with Sam and Dean. Raphael says that if a person is devout, it can cover all sins.[2]
Following Michael's imprisonment and Lucifer's re-imprisonment in the Cage, civil war rages between Raphael and his angels against Castiel and his angels.
The Host of Heaven
Angelic society in heaven is arranged into a rigid, militaristic hierarchy. Each angel is a member of an Angel Garrison with its own supervisors who report to higher authorities. This arrangement has been breaking down since God's departure from Heaven. Following the imprisonment of Michael in Lucifer's Cage, Castiel describes the situation there as civil war.[3] Garrisons now seem to be breaking up due to the conflict in Heaven.
Axis Mundi
The Axis Mundi is a path that runs through heaven. Different souls in Heaven see it as different things - For Dean it is "two-lane asphalt". According to Castiel, some view this axis as a river. The road will lead the traveler to Eden.
In mythology the Axis Mundi is the path between heaven and Earth, and is depicted symbolically in different ways in different cultures - from the Totem pole of American indigenous people to the Pyramids of Egypt and the Bodhi tree where Buddha found enlightenment Source.
Personal Heavens
In Heaven, humans occupy their happy memories, reliving them in their own, separate worlds. When Sam and Dean are killed and find themselves in Heaven,[4] they move along the axis mundi from one happy memory to another - although the memories that are happy for one brother are not always so for the other. When they meet Ash, he explains that everyone has their own "heaven", and at the center of all of them is Heaven's Garden (see below).
According to Ash, most people cannot leave their own "heaven", although Ash had worked out a way to do so. He has also rigged a device that allows him to listen in to the angels. Other people Ash has met in heaven are Johnny Cash, Andre the Giant, Einstein, Pamela and Mallanāga Vātsyāyana who wrote the Kama Sutra. Ash has been unable to locate John Winchester.
Ash says that some or few people (Ash referred to these people as 'special cases' because of the rarity), for example, SoulMates - share their Heaven with each other. Sam and Dean appear to share the same "Heaven".
Angels have access to people's personal Heavens. Zachariah appeared in Dean and Sam's memories,[4] and Adam informs Dean and Sam that the angels recruited him while he was experiencing a happy memory in Heaven.[5] Angels can choose to spend time in the personal Heavens for their own reasons. Castiel enjoys an autistic man's Tuesday afternoon Heaven, which is a peaceful park scene, and Raphael uses Ken Lay's Heaven for meetings.[2]
Heaven's Garden
According to Ash, this garden is the core of Heaven, and is at its center.[4] This portion of Heaven, according to Joshua, can be referred to as God's Throne Room or as Eden. Joshua is an angel who tends the Garden. Souls that travel to the garden, according to Joshua, will see it differently; for Sam and Dean, it is the Cleveland Botanical Gardens that they visited on a grade-school field trip.
Weapons Repository
Virgil watched and protected the Angelic Weapons before the angelic civil war. During the chaos after Michael's imprisonment, numerous powerful angelic artifacts were stolen by Balthazar[3], including the Staff of Moses and Lot's Salt.

COLUMBUS COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Officials are investigating two fires that happened early Tuesday morning they're calling "suspicious."
According to Columbus County Fire Marshal Scott Merritt, a couple of mobile homes within 60 feet of each other on Peacock Road near Tabor City burned just before 2 a.m.
Merritt said the owner of the homes rents them out, but recently no one was living in them.
Merritt said there are people of interest in this case. He's working with the Columbus County Sheriff's Office on this case.

I am in a very similar situation and the best advice I have gotten is to ignore the negative. Don't listen to these people telling you to go to social services. We all get pregnant for a reason. But the one thing you need to know is the child needs you. You are the babies true mother and believe me a dad doesn't need to be involved. Many people grow up with one parent and their only stronger from it. I pity those who give up their children thinking its best for them. Because in the end the child always goes looking for their birth mother and wondering why? And the truth is their is no stronger bond than mother and child because if there was they wouldn't come looking. The best thing you can do is your best.posted 11/20/2006 by daveybaby07
I disagree with the first comment on this page. Unless you don't see any way you can make it on your own or if you don't have any family that will stick by you and help you! I have a 4 year old son Bradley. I had him at 17 years old and I raised him by myself with my parents until 2 yrs ago when i met my now husband his now dad. You will be okay Just take it one day at a time. And every day is a blessing!posted 11/20/2006 by genrose
Jessica, you'll be fine. I had my first child when i was 18; and, still completed business school. I am now 28; and, pregnant w/my 2nd. My husband and I got through it just fine. It just takes dedication. I am now working on my Master's Degree; and, nothing can stop me...not even my pregnancy. You can do anything you put your mind to. I won't sugarcoat it...it was extremely challenging; but, that which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Good Luck & God Bless!!posted 11/20/2006 by sameerah1
Clair having quints who is 14, regular sex won't give you 5 babies. You have to be with a fertilitist to get pregnant with 5 babies. Unless you planned this, you are a troll! Stop lying, no 14 yr old has quints.posted 11/19/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Jessica i had my first son at 15. i was still in school and not old enough to work. But i knew that i loved my baby and that's all that mattered. When it doesn't seem like there is a way one will appear. i made it through school and graduated with my class. i graduated from an alternative school that let's you work at your own pace and did a running start program for college. My son is now seven and in first grade. I can't imagine life without him.Just remeber where there is a will there is a way. There are resources out there sometimes you have to look, but in the end it's all worth it to know you did your best and your child will love you no matter what. Good luck to you.posted 11/19/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
JESSICA, IM 19 AND I AM GOING TO HAVE MY FIRST CHILD IN JUNE MY BABY'S FATHER IS AROUND AND IM JUST SCARED THAT WHEN I HAVE THE BABY IF HE WILL STILL BE AROUND I HAVE THE SAME FEARS AS YOU YOUR NOT ALONEposted 11/19/2006 by ddaniell1987
My name is also Jessica and I had my first baby at age 16. He is now 41/2 years old and the love of my love. One tip for success is to take advantage of any parental support you can. Even if you are not with the baby's father, his parents may be a useful tool for support. Another tip is to go to college, even if just part-time because you get enormous amounts of financial aid for being a single mother and you get a little break from baby talk to enhance your own education. Try to find some friends with kids because you may still love your friends but not always relate to them.posted 11/18/2006 by JessicaMcVay
I am 20 years old and I had my son when I was 18. I went to my appointments alone and I was alone when I delivered. I had no support from my family and I had to live in a teen shelter for young moms with no place to go. I worked until I was due, and had gotten everything I needed for the baby myself. I was so scared, but as soon as my son was born and I saw him I felt nothing but love for him and no regrets. my best friend of two years went to my birthing classes with me and was at the hospital with me after i delivered. he watched my son and took me to school while I had gotten my GED and my CNA certification. my son calls him daddy. We have been best friends for 4 years and have been together for 2 years. We are engaged and expecting our daughter in a couple weeks. It was hard at first but he was there for me when nobody else was. all I have to say is you can do it with or without help because I was in both circumstances and I accomplished a lot.posted 11/18/2006 by ajmama86
Jessica, I had my first baby at 16 and another at 18 and I am 21 and having another Its not to bad the baby will keep your head up, And you will find a Great guy who will except you and your baby I did! Just keep your head up Dont quit being yourself and dont be scared its all worth it when you have that bundle of joy:)posted 11/18/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
the only thing i can say is stick in their i'm only 21 and about to be the mother of 3. i had my first at 16, i'm fortunate that the father is still in the picture as far as financial problems go it's hard, i lost all to almost all my friends and have no family around and i dont regret a thing, be happy you are financially secure and have family close by as for the father, its his loss it's sad and hard ,but just remember in the long run you'll have the pride of saying you did it on your own some of the most successful children come from single mothers raising them. dont let it get you down your baby needs to see you happy they learn from you and good luck to you and all you single moms including my sister and closest friends you guys just need to keep your heads up things will get better.posted 11/18/2006 by momadoll

First things first...Jim Mora was not my top choice for our Head Coach. Nor was he my second, third, or even fourth. No one in their right mind is going to call this a homerun hire. In fact, I would guess many of our Pac-12 competitors are laughing their asses off at our incompetent AD and our third-string hire. With that being said, I've had a chance to let my emotions filter out and I've begun to look at this hire a bit differently. Obviously Mora does not have a stellar head coaching record in the NFL. Is that such a surprise, though? This is a guy who by most accounts doesn't exactly exude the all important NFL qualities (super serious, unimaginative, highly professional, media savvy, etc.). This despite the fact that his father groomed him to be just that. Mora has always come across as a bit brash, cocky/arrogant, eccentric, and petulant. But guess what...those are qualites of some of the best college football coaches in the nation. Think Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Bobby Bowden, et al. Perhaps Mora was in the wrong place all along.
There are a couple other things that I'm starting to "not hate" about this hire. For one, he is almost completely off the UCLA map, which is a first since Red Sanders. He is defensive minded, which is also new. From most accounts he runs physical practices and preaches discipline (Neuheisel did neither). He was a defensive back in college and we need all the help we can get in stopping the pass. Apparently he also received assurances from Guerroro that UCLA would upgrade training facilities...so, it sounds like his head isn't completely in the clouds. I'm very curious to see who he brings in as his assistants and if he trys to retain Mike Johnson, who I like. We are obviously going to need some ace recruiters because Mora does not know the college recruiting landscape. I wonder how much money it would take to flip Tosh Lupoi from Cal (pipe dream). My guess is that our budget will be fairly large because
there is no way we are paying Mora $3M+ per year we are "only" paying him $2.4M/year.
With regards to some of the feedback from Seahawks and Falcons fans, I can't help but feel that NFL players just weren't responding to his style. I can only hope that style translates to the college game, and it's too bad I can only hope. That is really the worst part of this hire...it just feels like a shot in the dark. UCLA should never have to resort to making such a hire, but at least we broke away from an unhealthy pattern. Now if we can just break away from Guerrero we'll be able to rebuild our athletic program and return to our rightful place in college athletics.

RICHMOND (WRIC)—The U.S. Marshals Service is searching for a 54-year-old convicted killer, who violated parole in Georgia and was spotted at a Richmond Walmart.
Zachary Byron Cobb is the primary suspect in the attempted abduction, robbery and sexual assault of an 18-year-old Georgia man. Cobb served nearly 30 years in prison for two murders in 1981.

Cobb is believed to be driving a silver 2006 Toyota Camry with Georgia tags BUV-5838. He is a black male who is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs approximately 150 pounds. He has brown eyes, black hair and a scar on his chin.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call the U.S. Marshals Service Headquarters at 1-877-926-8332.

Samsung region locking the Note 3 to keep out resellers
Update: GigaOm has received a new statement from Samsung that clarifies the Note 3's region locking policy. Though Samsung's own text and initial statements seemed to confirm that both the European and American models of the Note 3 would be barred from using SIM cards from other regions, Samsung is now saying that this only applies to the very first SIM card used to set up the phone. Insertion of a foreign SIM during the Note 3's setup process will lock up the device, ostensibly as a way to stop distributors from sending phone models to areas they weren't meant for. However, if the Note 3 is set up using a local SIM card, it will be able to use any other card from that point forward — foreign ones included. GigaOm reports that this policy is in place on units of the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 mini, Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S III that were produced after July as well. We have adjusted to the headline to reflect Samsung's new statement — the original article continues below:
Galaxy Note 3 owners are going to have limited options when it comes to using their smartphone on another continent. According to Android Authority, Samsung has region locked both the American and European models of the Note 3, allowing them to only work within limited areas by default. For the European version, that's largely all of Europe, while the American version includes North, Central, and South America, as well as the Caribbean. Samsung has confirmed details of the European lock to GigaOm, but we haven't heard back on confirmation about the American model.
"Works with all types of LTE networks."
Though the Note 3 will be able to connect to foreign networks, it won't be able to do so simply through using a foreign network's SIM card like usual — instead, Note 3 owners will have to pay their local carrier's international roaming fees in order to tap into wireless networks on another continent. Android Authority reports that both Note 3 models explain this through stickers on their packaging, which say that the device is "only compatible with a SIM card issued from a mobile operator" within either Europe or the Americas, depending on the model. According to Ausdroid, Note 3 units bound for the Asia Pacific region do not include such a sticker, however, though the presence or absence of a region lock has not been confirmed.
It's an odd choice for Samsung to make, particularly given that the company touted the Note 3's wide support of LTE bands. "Works with all types of LTE networks, no matter where you are," JK Shin, head of Samsung Mobile Communications, said while introducing the device. The statement remains as true as ever, but Samsung is certainly making it a bit harder for most customers to take advantage of it.

How we change what others think, feel, believe and do
Fear and Persuasion
Techniques > General persuasion > Articles on persuasion > Fear and Persuasion
The argument for fear | The argument against fear | Successful fear | See also
Fear and persuasion often seem natural bedfellow and sometimes they do go together, yet often they can be mutually exclusive.
The argument for fear
From Aristotle to Freud and beyond, it has been recognized that pain and pleasure are critical motivators. We experience desire for that which gives us pleasure and fear of that which causes us pain. More recently, Hovland, Janis and Kelley (1953) suggested use of threats that cause anxiety or other forms of fear about negative consequences of depicted in the message.
You do not have to cause pain to create fear. The human frontal cortex has a primary function in thinking about the future. We are quite skilled at imagining what might happen and experiencing anticipatory emotions. This has proved helpful in our evolution, but it can also cause problems as anticipated fear of things that may not happen cause us stress and allow others to persuade us.
The argument against fear
An appeal to fear is not always successful both as we have reactions that it causes an because we are relatively complex in our thinking, for example, not only does fear make us want to reduce it, it also makes us want to do so with dignity.
The Fight-or-Flight reaction effectively means that when we experience fear, we may well either run away or fight back. Flight is theoretically a possibly useful response in that the persuader is like a sheepdog, nudging others in the right direction. Yet people can indeed be like sheep in that they will flee in random directions, making the sheepdog's work very exhausting.
Flight can also be cognitive and various coping mechanisms may be used, such as denial.
Fighting back is also common and can be very subtle. There are many ways of resisting persuasion that are not always obvious but will ultimately frustrate the persuader.
A third route freezing, much as rabbit caught in headlights, particularly if the threat is seen as extreme and with no obvious solution. Motivationally this is not helpful, as it means the other person does nothing, which is almost as bad as running in the wrong direction.
Janis and Feshbach (1953) rethought the fear theory that Janis had helped develop a year earlier, noting that the stronger fear that a persuasive message invokes, the greater the resistance to persuasion.
Successful fear
Using fear successfully must be a careful and subtle method, based on an understanding of your audience. Miller (1963) suggested a curvilinear relationship between fear and persuasion. When fear is too low or too high, then persuasion is less effective.
It is also important to understand how the people you are persuading respond to fear. There are many different responses and a threat to one person may have no effect whilst another reacts badly whilst another does just what you want. This variability is one reason why broad fear appeals are so hazardous and can easily rebound.
Witte (1992) noted that if you want to use fear to motivate, you also have to indicate the escape route. Your route also has to be more attractive than other alternatives, including fight-or-flight.
Rogers (1983) described Protection Motivation Theory and its four components of an effective threat framework:
Prospect Theory adds another layer of consideration, with judicious thoughts about possible losses and gains. Talking about loss works best when the person perceives higher risk, whilst gain framing is better when lower risk is perceived.

Olympic Gymnast Shannon Miller on Ovarian Cancer
September 14, 2011 at 5:11 pm , by Louise Sloan
"Listen to your body," my mom always says. She has practiced what she preaches, which is one of the reasons she is a cancer survivor.
"Listen to your body" was the lifesaving message being put forward at the lunch I attended today, sponsored by the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. Ovarian cancer is the deadliest of all gynecological cancers. That's because there's no screening test available and the signs are subtle, so it tends to be caught late. But symptoms do exist (see the list below), and when ovarian cancer is caught early, the 5-year survival rate is more than 90 percent. So women who listen to their bodies have a great shot at beating this deadly disease.
The featured speaker at today's lunch was Shannon Miller, the most decorated gymnast in U.S. history and an ovarian cancer survivor who was diagnosed earlier this year at age 33. (That's me towering over her in the picture.) Miller says she almost delayed going to her gynecologist for a checkup because, as a business owner and the mom of a toddler, she just didn't have time. But something told her to make that checkup a priority. And, during a routine pelvic exam, her doctor found a baseball-sized tumor. It turned out to be malignant.
Keeping that appointment probably saved Miller's life. Take care of yourself, she urged today. Make those appointments. As women and moms, we often put ourselves last. But Miller pointed out that you can't take care of your loved ones if you aren't healthy.
Talk to your doctor if you have the following symptoms for more than two weeks:
*pelvic or abdominal pain
*trouble eating or feeling full quickly.
*Feeling the need to urinate urgently or often.
These symptoms are common and usually don't mean ovarian cancer. So don't freak yourself out! But do follow up with your doctor. And listen to my mom and to the NOCC: Listen to your body!

The words 'Charlie Chaplin' immediately bring to mind visions of silent comedies. Ingmar Bergman has become a code-word for bleak, existential Eastern European art films. And yet, every now and then, a director will make a film that stands completely apart from their other work. These films aren't necessarily bad. In fact, some of these rank among their respective directors' best films. They just stand out as oddities, when compared to the rest of their creators' work. I have collected ten such examples. These films, arranged chronologically by their release date, represent some of the strangest and most unusual outings by beloved directors." w/ photos

A recent fall in the Japanese equities market could present a case to selectively buy according to Fidelity's head of Equities for Japan. With the index recently experiencing a 12.5% dip since the start of the year, there is a view that there is an opportunity present:
Alex Treves, Head of Equities for Japan at Fidelity Worldwide Investment, comments: "The recent correction in Japanese stocks can largely be attributed to emerging market risk and a stronger yen. At this stage, the pickup in the global economy remains on track. Japan's recovery continues to proceed steadily and the reflation theme remains on course. Furthermore, Japan has led the world in terms of positive earnings revisions over the past year and the outlook for earnings growth compares favourably with all other major regions.
"Prime Minister Abe will consolidate his policy agenda in the coming months and provide greater clarity on his multi-year roadmap for reforming Japan. It is important to be realistic about the likelihood of a sudden transformation, but equally the prospect of a long term improvement in Japan's outlook is very much alive. Crucially, the patient bottom-up observer can find encouraging signals of change on the ground.
"While risk assets are likely to remain volatile for the time being, we view the current correction as an opportunity to selectively add on weakness and our analysts are actively promoting 'buy on dip ideas' to portfolio managers."

I'm always sad to see the state fair come to a close. I come from a performing arts background. My favorite acts are the variety acts, magicians; jugglers; ventriloquists etc. Magicians are my favorites because they can make the unbelievable, believable. One must realize they are just entertainers and nothing more. They are performing illusions. Even people like Chris Angel, David Blaine and even David Copperfield, will tell you there is nothing supernatural about what they do. They are entertainers and they are really good at it.
Once upon a time, I was an electrician; I ran wires, installed lighting and appliances, rewired buildings, all sorts of things. At the same time I never really considered myself all that handy around the house. I can do a little carpentry, but that measure twice cut once thing has caught me out a few times. For some reason plumbing and I don't get along at all!

John Riley yet again fails to give an account for his past transgressions against taxpayers, but instead chooses to create and embrace a lie and distortion to remove all attention away from the real issues he is being exposed on! Riley stated in a political ad that the negative political attacks of the quote, Cheek/Trageser campaign ad were taking Spencer County in the wrong direction.
Elections are an important part of what it means to be American. Every two years we are treated to very significant and important elections, not just for our local races but for the national races as well.
During these election cycles, those people who are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs can either run for public office themselves or back candidates that they feel are more in line with their particular points of view.

Bad news everyone! Back in 1999 when The Simpsons began a long descent into crapville that it has still yet to surface from, he brought about Futurama. A fresh and clever show set in the future, it was ultimately too smart to remain on television. It's been cancelled before, but it managed to revive itself. Pity that this time, it really is the end for that witty show. Again.
Your decisions from Walking Dead season 1 may survive into season 2
If there's one thing that I have learnt from playing The Walking Dead episodic quick-time event, it's that I am a horrible, horrible person. Even though I insist that using Clementine as a strap-on zombie shield would have been brilliant. Decisions made in that game carried weight, and with a sequel on the cards, Telltale Games is looking to carry the impact of those choices, into season two.
Hail to the Master Chief with this Halo 4: Forward unto Dawn wrap up
First off, I hate Gavin. He's busy with Halo 4 and he knows that I am a fan, and is taunting me daily about it being rad. Second, I have nothing to watch, because DSTV is either repeats or endless shows about fat people buying old stuff. So I'm watching Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, because that's all there is right now. Gah, jeez!
GTA episodes from liberty city confirmed for PS3
Excuse me while I wipe a laugh-induced tear from my eye. What does $50 million buy you these days? Not a whole bunch apparently, as it's been confirmed that once Xbox 360 exclusive DLC episodes will be available for PS3 and PC.
That's right folks, you'll soon be able to play The lost and the Damned as well as The Ballad of Gay Tony on your non-Microsoft platform.
Half-Life Episode 3 in 2010? Nope.
With Left 4 Dead 2 now out and raking in the big bucks, it was expected that Valve would get to work on the hugely anticipated, long-overdue 3rd episode for Half-Life 2. Well, they probably are, but that doesn't mean you should be expecting it any time soon.
According to Game Informer's February issue, there is no Half-Life game expected this year at all.
Fable II Split Into Episodes – First One Is Free, Right Now!
For those of you who don't know, Fable II is now offered in an episodic manner which means that those of you who don't own the game can now play it in segments.
The first episode clocks in at a hefty 2GB's but is available for absolutely nothing and can be downloaded on your Xbox or scheduled by clicking this link.
The episodes work together with the disc based Fable II, so if you decide to purchase the full game you will keep your progress as well as achievements and so on.

FYI: No Lazygamer Podcast This Week
As I am writing this post I can hear the roar of the beautiful Indian Ocean around 50 metres away. The reason for that is because I am actually on vacation.
Amazingly, the fact that I am on vacation just happens to be the same reason that there will be no podcast this week. We are nearly up to episode 20 of the podcast, so if you have missed any then be sure to grab some of the previous episodes and give them a listen.
Don't hate on me too much though, the weather forecast for the rest of the week is predicting some rather terrible weather.
I really need to just embrace the geek in me and pack my consoles with me when on vacation, stupid weather.
Rockstar's Agent out in 2010, GTAIV DLC on PS3 looking Unlikely
In a recent Q&A posted on their official site, Rockstar answered questions about the upcoming Ballad of Gay Tony DLC, as well as "Episodes from Liberty City,†the retail bundling of both DLC episodes on one disc. Naturally, the question arose about the DLC making its way to the PS3 – but instead of a straight answer, we're given this :
"We appreciate the enthusiasm of PlayStation 3 owners and believe us, we understand where you're coming from. That's why we are working hard on a lineup of PlayStation 3 releases for 2010 that we know you will be very excited to play - including Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3, and the PlayStation 3 exclusive AGENT, which is a brand-new title from Rockstar North, the creators of the Grand Theft Auto series. Plus there's more yet to be announced... Thanks again for your patience and please stay with us!â€

If state lawmakers can't agree on expanding Medicaid health coverage, some say Governor Terry McAuliffe should use executive power to do it himself. According to the Washington Post, McAuliffe is looking into it, but experts say it could be a political nightmare.
In many ways, we're already in the middle of a political nightmare but if McAuliffe bypasses the legislature and uses executive action to expand Medicaid, things could get a whole lot nastier.
Celebrating his 100th day in office in April, McAuliffe made clear he's not backing down in his fight for Medicaid expansion.
"It is not only morally the right thing to do, it is financially the right thing to do," McAuliffe said.
But weeks later, there is still no solution. Republicans and Democrats are still at odds on expansion, and that's holding up progress on the state budget. But McAuliffe could be looking for another solution.
"If he wants to accomplish this, this may be the only way for him to be able do it, it just has consequences," said Geoff Skelley, political analyst with the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
According to the Washington Post, the governor is exploring the thought of using executive action to expand Medicaid. But amid growing gridlock, political analysts say that could create an even more toxic political environment in Richmond.
"He's going to create enemies by doing this. They may be even less likely to cooperate on other issues, and they're probably going to challenge it at every turn," Skelley said.
And that could include legal challenges, if McAuliffe goes that route. House Republicans said in a statement Friday: "We do not believe the Governor has the authority to do that. The law is very clear. However, it's also clear from the actions of the Attorney General that this administration has very little regard for the law."
The governor's office would not comment on rumors of possible executive action, but press secretary Brian Coy did say: "the governor remains confident that House Republicans will come to the table and compromise, and believes a legislative solution is the best solution."

School of Food Systems
Cereal and Food Sciences
Food Science Major
The Food Science major is offered through the School of Food Systems in the College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources. It is designed to prepare students for a career in the food industry, the "world's largest industry," which is responsible for feeding the world.
The program is structured to develop an understanding of the nature, properties, and characteristics of foods through foundation courses in biochemistry, chemistry, microbiology, physics, and other related sciences. Applications include the study of food safety, processing, preservation, sanitation, storage, and marketing of foods. The analysis and microbiological and biochemical characterization of food products are also studied. Additionally, elective courses in economics and business administration are available to students intending to enter a management career.
Note: Transfer credits in food science from other institutions must have grades of 'C' or better to be accepted for the food science program at NDSU. The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) approves the curriculum in the food science program. Students majoring in food science, therefore, are eligible to compete for the prestigious IFT scholarships.
The program also provides the opportunity to gain industrial experience during undergraduate study by means of industry internships. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to recognize, critically analyze, and solve problems realistically in both industrial and academic environments.
Great Plains Institute of Food Safety
Food Safety Major
A number of undergraduate and graduate programs of study in food safety are offered through the Great Plains Institute for Food Safety. Food safety is an area of concern for many Americans, the current target of tremendous interest, effort, and spending worldwide and an area in which shortages of expertise are manifest. For further information, refer to the Interdisciplinary Programs section of this Bulletin.

Six months after the brutal murder of a Smyrna man on the side of Interstate 24, an arrest has been made.
Rutherford County Sheriff's detectives arrested 23-year-old Edgar Domonique "Dom" Covington on Tuesday, charging him with the crime.
Sheriff's officials are not releasing many details about how the two met or what happened on that tragic day near the Almaville Road exit on Dec. 15, 2013.
However, Channel 4 News has obtained a copy of the arrest warrant.
Detectives got word that Covington shot and killed 47-year-old Jackie Warpoole Jr., according to the warrant.
Covington was a passenger in a vehicle and shot Warpoole from that vehicle, striking him in the head, according to the warrant.
Authorities would not say if this was a case of road rage.
"This was a random violent encounter, is how this whole thing happened," said Rutherford County Sheriff Robert Arnold. "We can't really discuss the facts of the case right now since it's a pending case."
Covington is charged with first-degree murder, unlawful possession of a weapon in the commission of a felony and reckless endangerment.
With Covington only being in his early 20s, the sheriff said what he's accused of doing is unthinkable.
"It's tragic because this person took someone else's life and took his at the same time, being so young," Arnold said.
Warpoole's family and his widow, Angela, attended a news conference at the sheriff's office on Thursday announcing the arrest.
They were too emotional to talk to reporters.
"They would like to have their privacy while they deal with their grief," Arnold said.
The family released this statement:
"The family of Jackie Warpoole would like to thank Detective (Jamin) Humphress, Detective (Steve) Craig, and the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office for their hard work and dedication. Because of their commitment and countless hours over the last six months, the person responsible for killing Jackie has been arrested.
The family is forever grateful and continues to pray that the proper justice will be served for Jackie. They would also like to thank their friends and family that have continued to support and pray for them during this tragedy. We ask that you please respect the family's privacy at this time and direct any comments or questions to the Sheriff's Office."
The family was determined to help catch the killer, so they asked for tips using interstate billboards, offering a $15,000 reward.
The sheriff stopped short of saying if a tip lead to an arrest.
"I can say we got lots of tips from the different hotlines," Arnold said.
Covington was taken into custody at his home in Nashville without incident.
Covington is being held without bond at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center. His hearing has been set for Aug. 20.

CBS, ABC Highlight Obama 'Flip-Flop' on Super PACs; NBC Punts
CBS This Morning on Tuesday led its broadcast with the Obama re-election campaign's decision on Monday night to reverse its opposition to super PAC fundraising. Charlie Rose teased the report by noting how "the White House...flip-flops on controversial super PAC donations." ABC's Jake Tapper used the same term on Good Morning America. NBC's Today show completely ignored this breaking development.
During his report on the CBS morning show, correspondent Bill Plante highlighted President Obama's "denunciation of that Supreme Court decision which allowed unlimited fundraising" and played a clip from his 2010 State of the Union address where he ripped the Citizens United decision in the presence of several of the justices who handed it down [audio available here; video below the jump].
The correspondent also pointed out that "it's not also the first time that the President has reversed himself on fundraising. You may remember that in 2008, he said that he would take public funding, then he changed his mind."
Just over a week earlier, on the January 31 edition of CBS This Morning, correspondent Armen Keteyian actually blasted the possible influence of super PACs in the coming presidential campaign: "You know, this is a tidal wave, and I think what's going to happen to is this is by far the most expensive [election], but it's the most negative, and it's really going to become I think the most slimy."
On Good Morning America, Tapper noted the Obama's campaign's about-face at the end of a report on the growing controversy between the administration and the Catholic Church over a mandate for contraception and abortifacient coverage without a co-pay in health plans:
TAPPER: And one other bit of breaking news overnight, Robin. Having to do with the Obama campaign and super PACs. Those are the third-party groups that can accept unlimited donations that have been flooding the air waves with negative ads. Originally, the Obama campaign said they would have nothing to do with super PACs. But, last night, they flip-flopped on the issue, saying that Republican super PACs are doing too much advertising. they have to compete and now have top cabinet officials, campaign officials and White House officials helping to raise funds for a Democratic super PAC.
Just after the top of the 8 am Eastern hour, ABC news anchor Josh Elliott gave a brief on the new policy, but didn't use the "flip-flop" term that Rose and Tapper both used:
ELLIOTT: Meantime, President Obama's campaign is reversing its position on so-called super PACs, those are third party groups that can accept unlimited campaign donations and flood the airwaves with their message. Now, the campaign is urging supporters to support a Democratic Super PAC, despite the President's criticism of those groups in the past.
NBC's Today show on Tuesday didn't cover the Obama campaign story at all.
The full transcript of Bill Plante's report on Tuesday's CBS This Morning, which aired two minutes into the 7 am Eastern hour, can be found at MRC.org.

Incredible. Just a year ago Obama, his minions and his Liberal lap dogs in the media were having a fit over the Supreme Court decision saying that Super Pacs were Constitutional. Obama, showing no class, went after the Supreme Court.
Now this hypocrite is going to use the Super Pacs which he condemned!
And of course, like a good Liberal who has been taught never to take responsability for his actions, President Obama and his administration blame the Republicans.

Did you expect anything else, NBC is the Obama Network. They have been a leading Obama cheerleader for the last 4 years, they are setting up to be the leading cheerleader for his 2012 propaganda blitz.
Why would you think they would say anything less the complementary about Obama? That would be like thinking the New York Times would print a truthful article.

For Obama, the situation's changed.
Submitted by Rover on Tue, 02/07/2012 - 4:32pm.
In 2010, he was anxious to denounce super-PACs because of the amount of rope his party was giving the Republicans to hang them all with.
This year, he knows he can't run on his record, and the strategy for November is to villify the GOP candidate, making the campaign about the opponent rather than Obama's presidency.
So now super-PACs are an essential weapon for him in what is likely to be the nastiest campaign in US history. Super-PACs have the advantage that they can be outright dishonest, while he can disavow any specific ad that they put on the air and appear clean himself. (Romney didn't help by setting the standard.)
Dishonesty will also be essential for the Democrats in the upcoming election, because the facts are generally against them. But with the amount of money that the Dems can funnel into these ads, and with the MSM disinclined to do any fact-checking in situations where letting a lie stand unchallenged will help Obama, by November a lot of independent Americans will not know what the truth is and what is dishonest propaganda.

When the Repub nominee is
Submitted by CDOG on Wed, 02/08/2012 - 1:51pm.
When the Repub nominee is decided, I hope all the pro Repub PACs relentlessly blast the airwaves with side by side displays of his then and now, strong positions in polar opposite. Flood the public with one at a time. Over and over till he's forced to explain it with spin. Then slap em with the next one. Repeat, reload, repeat.....up into November. We'll never run out of ammunition and they'll be on constant defence. Devout worshipers may not be swayed, but at least one topic will eventually hit a nerve in every independent group as you work your way along thru them. As the Repub moves forward, Demos will be behind picking up broken pieces and trying to explain one at a time. Near the finish line hit em hard with all so each group will get a reminder. That will keep em busy trying to re-explain every flop at once. This would require a lot of coordination and cooperation among the pacs.... but by God I think it just might root out those lying POS's. And don't just confine it to Obama directly. His friends, Nancy, Harry and the gang have plenty they dont want you to see too. Judo politics..... Don't be nasty with it. That will just tune many out. Just lay it side by side and let them defeat themselves.

Tyrants control Congress.... From Within
Submitted by CDOG on Wed, 02/08/2012 - 12:27pm.
The Repub presidential candidate that will pronounce a commitment to relentlessly pushing congress toward term limits, and more importantly, that they subject themselves, to the same laws they impose on us, I contend would easily take the nomination. I also believe he would ride into the Whitehouse on a Tsunami. I personally am sickened by Obama but not real excited about any one Repub. candidate either. The majority of American people are fed up to the gills with the entirety of Congress's elite status tho, and not just any particular party within. And we'll never change anything one member at a time. Throw a good man, ( ok..person) into that den of thieves alone and they will cut his throat when he wont play ball by their rules. Move the insider trading issue up front as a catylist for a total revamp. I know that enrages me, but its only a minor symptom of a major disease. Whoopi... They are working hard to isolate that and fix it before we see the giant tumor. I must clarify that I mean every government employee.... Elected, appointed, or hired, should live under the same laws as we the People are subjected. No exceptions nor exemptions! Bet theyd start reading those bills then! One more clarification,,,,, As Ive heard said before...... Id vote for a ham sandwich before I ever voted for Obama....... or a Democrat.

Who follws the law, anyways?
Submitted by CobraMan on Wed, 02/08/2012 - 2:07pm.
"have top cabinet officials, campaign officials and White House officials helping to raise funds for a Democratic super PAC"
Isn't it illegal for cabinet members, as well as "White House officials" to coordinate fund raising events? I seem to remember the Democrats holding Congressional investigations about this very subject during, and after, Bush's reelection. I do believe that Obama himself was one of those who complained about it bitterly while he was a Senator. Somehow, I don't see Harry Reid, or Waxman, for that matter, saying much about the illegality of this, for now anyways.
And Obama, himself, is proudly doing what he said was the worst thing to do, all because someone else may have more of the limelight than he has. He's even ordering his own cabinet member to willfully violate campaign finance laws and "help" him "create" his own Super PACs!
