President Barack Obama plans another stop in battleground Wisconsin in the heated last days of the campaign.
Obama will campaign in Green Bay on Tuesday, a week before Election Day. The Wisconsin stop is part of a two-day swing that includes visits to other key states Colorado and Ohio. Details will be announced later.
Polls show Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are in a tight race for Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes.
Obama appeared at a rally at the University of Wisconsin-Madison earlier this month. Vice President Joe Biden plans stops Friday in Oshkosh and Kenosha.
GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan plans campaigns stops across Wisconsin next Wednesday before trick-or-treating in Janesville with his three children on Halloween.

ClimateGate 1 Year Later: Networks Barely Cover Scandal, But Defend and 'Exonerate' Accused Scientists
It's been a year since thousands of emails and files were leaked from a prominent climate science group at the University of East Anglia, with startling comments including this one: "We can't account for the lack of warming at the moment."
Other leaked emails showed potential manipulation of temperature data, a willingness to destroy information rather than release it under the British Freedom of Information (FOI) law and the intimidation of publications willing to publish skeptical articles. The files also indicated that the temperature data was in a "hopeless" state.
Even though many considered it a huge scandal, the three broadcast networks didn't think so. They ignored the story for roughly two weeks, and have only mentioned it in a dozen stories in the past year.
In those few stories network reporters often downplayed the allegations against climate scientists by calling them "mistakes" or a "series of gaffes," others sympathized with the accused scientists or insisted that the science supporting global warming alarmism was solid. Journalists even accepted "whitewash" investigations into the matter that supposedly "exonerated" the climate scientists.
The scandal over those leaked files was dubbed ClimateGate and dominated headlines – particularly in Britain. But here in the U.S., the three broadcast networks went on as if nothing had happened for nearly 14 days.
It wasn't until the evening of the 14th day that one network program, NBC "Nightly News," finally reported on the climate science controversy. But that first story was not the beginning of a flood of network coverage of ClimateGate. Since Nov. 19, 2009, the broadcast networks have only mentioned the scandal or the University of East Anglia in a paltry 12 stories.
Twelve stories. Why so little coverage? Myron Ebell, director of energy and global warming policy for the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), told the Business & Media Institute, "I think it's pretty obvious why the networks and major papers have ignored ClimateGate. It's because they don't want to consider the possibility that the sort of monolithic [global warming] consensus that they support and are a part of is based on junk science."
CBS's Wyatt Andrews defended alarmist scientists against accusation of "fraud" saying "if that's true, it's a fraud adopted by most of the world's leading scientists …" Similarly, NBC's Anne Thompson cited "experts" to bolster global warming science on Dec. 6, 2009, saying "They say it doesn't matter what's in those emails. The Earth is changing."
On May 23, 2010, ABC "World News" presented ClimateGate scientists including Penn State's Michael Mann as the victims. Dan Harris said the debate about climate had become "increasingly venomous with many prominent climate scientists now saying that they are being severely harassed."
According to Ebell, the scientists involved were not making "mistakes" as the media emphasized, but "manipulating data." The CRU emails revealed "they were adjusting the [weather] stations they were using" to show warmer recent decades and cooler temperatures in the 1930s and '40s, Ebell said.
Exonerated by the Media
The allegations of tampering with data, hiding "the decline," evading FOI laws or trying to keep skeptics from being published didn't matter to the networks, which had been airing stories about the threat of climate change for years. Reporters were adamant that the science was valid and the threat was real.
Anne Thompson told NBC viewers Dec. 7, 2009, "But does the controversy change the science? A team of explorers will present findings on Arctic ice melt in Copenhagen, findings that have nothing to do with the emails."
Over on CBS, Wyatt Andrews listed a number of scientific groups that accept manmade global warming as fact "To most of them, ClimateGate is a sideshow compared to one overwhelming fact."
As the findings of so-called "independent" investigations came out in 2010, many in the news media claimed the climate scientists had been "exonerated."
Dan Harris used that word on May 23, 2010 saying: "Senator Inhofe's report was referring to an incident late last year known as ClimateGate, where stolen emails gave the impression that climate scientists may have been trying to hide flaws in their research, although several subsequent investigations have exonerated the scientists."
USA Today, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and many other U.S. and international media outlets reported that the most recent British inquiry (the Muir Russell inquiry) "cleared scientists of any misconduct."
But the Post and many other outlets didn't mention crucial indications that the so-called "independent" investigations were a "whitewash." Cato Institute Senior Fellow Pat Michaels wrote an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal July 12 cautioning people, "Don't believe the 'independent' reviews."
Michaels, who was a professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia (UVA) from 1980 to 2007, pointed out that Muir Russell's panel named "The Independent Climate Change E-mails Review" was in fact "commissioned and paid for by the University of East Anglia (UEA), the same university whose climate department was under investigation."
That would be like BP handpicking and paying a panel of experts to investigate its handling of the oil spill. Would the news media take that panel seriously if it "exonerated" BP? Not likely.
Public Perception of Climate Change Shifts after Climate Scandal
Despite very little network coverage, and claims from some media outlets that the scientists in question had been cleared, public faith in the threat of global warming has been dropping since the email scandal erupted.
Rasmussen reported on Nov. 15, 2010 that only 61 percent of people think global warming is a "somewhat serious problem." "These findings have steadily dropped since last November when the so-called 'Climategate' scandal broke," Rasmussen said. The polling group also found 45 percent of people attributed warming to "long-term planetary trends."
In March 2010, Gallup found that 48 percent of Americans thought the threat of global warming was "generally exaggerated." That was the highest in 13 years, according to Gallup.
In the wake of ClimateGate (and other subsequent climate science scandals), British journalist James Delingpole wrote that, "AGW theory is toast. So's Dr. Rajendra Pachauri. So's the Stern Review. So's the credibility of the IPCC. But if you think I'm cheered by this you're very much mistaken. I'm trying to write a Climategate book but the way things are going by the time I'm finished there won't be anything left to say: the battle will already have been won and the only people left who still believe in Man Made Global Warming will be the eco-loon equivalents of those wartime Japanese soldiers left abandoned and forgotten on remote Pacific atolls."
Networks Hide Climate Scandals
Around Earth Day 2010, the Business & Media Institute released a Special Report about network bias surrounding the ClimateGate scandal and other related scandals.
BMI found that not only did the networks ignore the story for nearly two weeks, they buried allegations against climate scientists with six times as many global warming alarmism reports (86 to 13).
In those stories, reporters warned about the potential end of French wines, the threat of rising sea levels, melting Andes glaciers, worsening allergies, floods, droughts, dengue fever and the danger posed to animals from the Arctic Fox to Atlantic salmon.

There has been a HUGE
Submitted by Van Halen on Thu, 11/18/2010 - 11:02am.
There has been a HUGE movement on to try and sweep Climategate under the rug. A year later I check out the blogs associated with breaking that story - Watt's Up WIth That and The Air Vent and several others. Good stuff.
The good news is that a lot of people are aware of it, it killed the alarmists' little gathering in Copenhagen last year and it killed the Chicago carbon trading exchange in October. But don't think for a minute the Left will back off - waaaayyyyy too much money to be made on this scam. So keep the heat on!

Climategate: One Year and Sixty House Seats Later
It was fraud. If your proxy data to reconstruct 1000's of years of temperatures cannot jam with the accurately measured temperatures of the last 30 years. In fact, it is so out of sync, it shows rising temperatures versus actual declining temperatures. Maybe, just maybe, try and figure out where you went wrong in calculating those 1000's of years of data, instead of HIDING THE DECLINE.

Intimidation Inc.
Submitted by okiehawk44 on Thu, 11/18/2010 - 12:01pm.
Leftists seem to believe that they can intimidate the vast majority of the rest of America and the world.
Do as we leftists say or we will terminate your NPR contract -- they tried to intimidate Mara Liasson to stay off FOX 1 yr before terminating her colleague Juan Williams. Coincidence?
Senator Rockefeller (D-WV) suggests shutting up cable shows holding opposing viewpoints by using the FCC. Rockefeller has never read the Constitution evidently.
Al Sharpton wants to intimidate Rush Limbaugh. Of course Al is a racist idiot but he has a racist idiot following. Remember the cave-in of Don Imus. I don't think the tag of racist from a certifiable racist like Al means today what it did back then. Al you and yours did it -- you jumped the shark as they say by calling the vast majority of Americans racists, homophobes, bigots, nativists, stupid etc etc etc. Al you overused the tags and made them worthless.
Soon-to-be former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi always and will forevermore use intimidation to control. Why do stouthearted people fear her? Ask one. A self-important woman surrounded by staff and family feeding off her self-importance is a dangerous narcissist.
Leftists send 200 to Alaska to turn over rocks looking for something distasteful or best of all damning about Sarah Palin. 200? That's about 199.9 more than they ever could spare to discover anything about Barack Hussein Obama and what made him tick. Even Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw admitted they didn't know what BHO stood for and they both supported him.
Leftists don't scare me but weak kneed conservatives do. Stop trying to curry favor with the media or its handmaidens (i.e. the 20% of American who are leftists nee Democrats).

No "intellectual curiosity" in media is "chilling"
Submitted by metaphorsbwithu on Thu, 11/18/2010 - 12:59pm.
The question virtually no one in the media has asked and certainly doesn't want answered is, "What the heck WAS Mann's trick?"
The answer is Mann cherry-picked tree ring data that suggested global temperatures over the last thousand years was cooler than today.
However, when faced with alegedly acurate temperature data from recent decades that showed higher temperatures than the tree ring data itself indicated in recent decades, HE DISCARDED THE TREE RING DATA for those periods and substituted the actual measurements.
He switched horses in midstream.
Mann's slight of hand has been described as "shop talk" and just another procedure that researchers use.
The "intellectually uncurious" media have accepted and promoted the explanation that there is nothing there.
But they will not tell you what the "trick" was, nor ask any researcher worth his or her salt if that "trick" would be accepted in an undergraduate statistics class.

Julia, why do you persist in saying there was a Climategate scandal? There never was a Climategate scandal. These scientists get their data from the Ministry of Truth. You and Winston Smith have already had a session in Room 101 at the Ministry of Love. Do you need another session? Do not ever mention Climategate again.

CSPAN carried the recent hearings on climate change
Submitted by Rush Fan on Fri, 11/19/2010 - 12:01am.
by the House Committee Science and Technology | Energy and Environment.Change, Panel 1
House Committee
Nov 17, 2010
There were three panels. Among the panelist on the first panel was Ralph Cicerone, President of the National Academy of Science (Global Warming Believer), Heidi Cullen, formerly of the Weather Channel (Global Warming Believer), and Richard Lindzen, Professor Massachusetts Institute of Technology Meteorology, and a well known skeptic of global warming. Recall that liberal Global Warming believer Heidi Cullen suggested back in 2006 that:
If a meteorologist has an American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval which is used to confer legitimacy to TV meteorologists, then meteorologists have a responsibility to truly educate themselves on the science of global warming.... If a meteorologist can't speak to the fundamental science of climate change, then maybe the AMS shouldn't give them a Seal of Approval. Clearly, the AMS doesn't agree that global warming can be blamed on cyclical weather patterns. It's like allowing a meteorologist to go on-air and say that hurricanes rotate clockwise.... It's not a political statement... it's just an incorrect statement.
Here are the VIDEOS of the climate change panels' testimony.
It used to surprise me that seemingly intelligent people could accept, without question, Global Warming. But I realize now that most of them are really not concerned about the supposedly "dire consequences" of Global Warming, but the control, power and financial gain they will receive if climate change legislation is enacted.

Doctor's Orders: Go Fish
Fish, an excellent source of protein, should be consumed regularly by athletes and bodybuilders. Varying in fat content, some types of fish are high in healthy fats, while others are low in fat altogether. Unlike other tissue proteins, fatty fish provide a host of benefits. Salmon and sardines, for example, are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which support immune system function and assist with muscle recovery and growth, in addition to many other benefits (fat-burning among them). Low-fat fish, such as tilapia, also make excellent sources of protein. Regardless of your phase or training goals, strive to take in eight ounces of fatty fish at least twice a week.
Active Rest
Remember that every rest day should be an active rest day. Rest days are for recovery; they're not an excuse to be lazy. Get out and hit 15-30 minutes of HIIT cardio today, or perform 30-60 minutes of your favorite activity: hiking, biking, walking, playing a sport, etc.

Toddlers learn French at Sidcup nursery
Updated 2:44pm Friday 24th January 2014 in News By Heloise Wood, reporter
SIDCUP tots are showing plenty of Joie de vivre as part of a special language learning scheme.
Chatterbox House Day Nursery, in Main Road, has employed French teacher Elina Demurger-Jones to visit the pre-school children every Monday.
She uses role-play, songs and games to help them learn the language and organisers are delighted with the success of the project.
Pre-school room leader Jude Andrews said: "We have lots of children from different backgrounds so this is useful at introducing them to various cultures.
"It's fairly basic, obviously, but now they can say hello, thank you and things like that and it helps their understanding of the world.
"They always enjoy it when she comes."

One of the worst places I have ever stayed at. I haven't slept at all most of the nights as it was noisy, and the lights in the hall were switched on all night. The glass window above the door didn't help to block the light. I bought a single room and ended up in a twin room. After half a week I moved to a hotel as I couldn't bear the situation in the hostel.

Anna is a Louisiana-born writer who lives in Texas on a ranch that has cattle, a vineyard, chickens, roosters, rattlesnakes and a one-eyed dog (thanks to one of the aforementioned rattlesnakes.) She writes books, magazine articles, advertisements for clients located across the country, and extensive grocery lists that are organized by aisle.
In her twenties Anna lived in a selection of amazing American cities—Boston, Seattle, Denver, New York City & Dallas. But then she met a man she was rather fond of who lived way out in the middle of nowhere and one night after lots of tequila she said she would try the country life. She agreed to two years and they both fully expected that at the end of those two years she would run screaming for a city. Quite the opposite happened. Now when she is in a city for more than a week she runs screaming for the country.
People often ask what she and this man 'do' in the country. This is Anna's favorite question to answer because it's the only time she gets to say 'varmint hunt' with a straight face. In addition to shooting small animals (when they're small they don't have feelings) the two of them also chew hay and spend long, extended periods of time drinking whiskey on the tailgates of all the broken-down trucks they collect in their front yard.
Anna co-wrote CopyGirl with the ever-sparkling and luminous Michelle Sassa and it will be published by Berkley Books in the summer of 2015. Many moons ago Anna and Michelle were copywriters at Berlin Cameron in New York City. They reconnected at a wedding in North Carolina in 2012 and after stuffing their faces with shrimp 'n grits and laughing hysterically about how they once went on all-expense paid trip to Paris to create ads for toilet paper, they decided it was time to reignite the glory days of writing together. Who wouldn't want to return to such greatness?
CopyGirl is their first book of (effing awesome) women's fiction and they are hard at work on a second. All their writing is represented by Susan Golomb of the Susan Golomb Literary Agency, who is also ever-sparkling and luminous.
Anna's first book, Just Don't Call Me Ma'am, was published by Seal Press in 2010. The essays are based on the years she spent moving around the country, working at various advertising agencies, trying her best to have the life everyone said would be such fun and wondering why things felt… well… less than fun. The answer? You'll have to read the book to find out! No, not really. The answer is that letting anyone else tell you what equals a good life is a seriously shitty (and probably ill-fated) formula for living a good life.
Just Don't Call Me Ma'am is a fun read that's great either for the beach or for when you're feeling like a bitch. Beach to bitch pretty much encapsulates the entire spectrum of female emotions…..so no matter when you grab a copy you're guaranteed to love it.
Waco, Texas is about halfway between Austin and Dallas on I-35 in the heart of Texas. It is the home of Wacoan, an outstanding city magazine that features a monthly column written by Anna Mitchael.
'Notes From A New Mother' was developed specifically for Anna after she moved to Central Texas and has been running for the last four years. In the column she has been known to discuss the projected life span of pet fish, the pros and cons of letting your kids wear pajamas in public, the merits of gas station food, hope, perseverance, and coyotes—though not necessarily in that order.
The most recent columns are archived on the Wacoan website.
Before beginning her career as a freelancer, Anna worked at ad agencies that ran the gamut from a cutting-edge brand agency in Manhattan to the highly-awarded in-house creative department at Starbucks Coffee Company and one of the top promotional agencies in the world headquartered outside of Denver, Colorado.
It is not common for advertising professionals (and especially not professionals in creative departments) to touch so many sides of the business, but these unique experiences gave Anna one-of-a-kind training. Now when clients come to her she doesn't think 'just' in terms of social media or TV scripts or in-store shopper solutions. She looks at the entire problem, thinks through all consumer touchpoints, and then delivers award-winning written solutions that are intuitive, engaged and—most importantly—successful.
Anna works with advertising agencies who need a breath of fresh air for problems they can't seem to solve. Heads of million-dollar marketing departments who need a breath of fresh air from their advertising agencies. Companies with in-house creative departments who need copy expertise and brand direction. And entrepreneurs who are passionate about their products but need help storytelling and building brands from the ground up.
If you want to know how compelling words and ideas could grow your business, simply send Anna an email and say hello. Her portfolio, references, resume and rates are available upon request.
Send a message about her books, columns or with requests for copywriting projects. If you really want to shake things up, there's nothing she loves more than getting copies of people's most beloved pie recipes. As long as they don't involve rhubarb, she's game.

The most complex of Rivera's creations is a robot he calls his masterpiece. It took about two weeks to create. The robot is made of 14 laptop hard drives with 18 additional discs from gutted hard drives and spare parts. "This piece allowed me to show off some internal pieces of hard drives I wasn't able to incorporate with any of the other pieces like using the armatures as weapons."
Rivera also included a cable management arm from a Dell 2950 into the robot and bent the hard drive covers to show off its insides.
"The hard drive sculptures are a personal challenge and a chance for others to see what the inside of a hard drive looks like in a creative way," he says. "It's my therapy after a five-day, 12-hour-shift work week."

CDC warns hospitals about drug-resistant 'superbug'
Government officials want the nation's health care providers to step up efforts to halt the spread of a drug-resistant "nightmare bacteria" that attacks the bloodstream and kills up to half of patients who become infected. In the first half of 2012, nearly 200 hospitals and acute care facilities treated at least one patient for the lethal "superbug" known as CRE, according to new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC, called CRE a "nightmare bacteria" because of its high mortality rate, its resistance to nearly all antibiotics and its ability to spread its drug resistance to other bacteria that otherwise would be vulnerable to vaccines.

text: If you're new to Queen and you're planning on getting the Platinum collection, then I can tell you for sure that you won't be dissapointed… however, it would be a better choice to get the old "Greatest Hits I & II" box set with "Made In Heaven" added. Why??… because "Greatest Hits I & II" has the best of Queen from 1974-1991, and the only album that Queen put out after Freddie Mercury's death in 1991 was 'Made In Heaven' Greatest Hits 3 has the hit tracks from Made In Heaven, plus some good hits that weren't before included (These Are The Days, No One But You, Princes Of The Universe, Thank God It's X-mas). The bad thing is that Greatest Hits 3 has a bunch of refills that should have never been included… "Under Pressure (Mix)", "The Show Must Go On" (w/ Elton John) and a horrible version of "Another One Bites The Dust" by Wyclef Jean that ruins this album just as much as Jar Jar Binks ruined Star Wars: Episode I. What is even more annoying about Greatest Hits 3 is the fact that they left out REAL QUEEN HITS, like… Tie Your Mother Down, Scandal, and Love Of My Life and they had to include a bunch of tracks that aren't even QUEEN songs. You wouldn't regret buying 'The Platinum Collection' but I can almost guarantee that when you listen the 3rd CD, you'd want to skip tracks 1,2, and especially 14!!.

The guy has won 4 grey cups and put together quite a record of winning excellence. He's also tried his hand at coaching, and he should probably stay in the office.
He's been rumored to be in the running for a job with the Redskins:
According to Jason Reid, Popp is well known in NFL circles, so why he hasn't been given a job over the last 15 years is beyond me... unless he's just a CFL GM. I'm not opposed to bringing in a guy from another league, in fact I almost always love a CFL signing but I'm not so sure I want a guy whose last job was to build a B team, even if he did build a great B team.
On the other hand building and maintaining a great B team in many ways would be more difficult than building a team with first tier talent. I don't know how I feel about this guy, I'm conflicted.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — J.R. Smith may have altered a series with one poor decision. He certainly forced his midweek plans to change.
When he dropped Boston's Jason Terry with an elbow to the chin late in Game 3 on Friday night, Smith earned a suspension that left the New York Knicks without their No. 2 scorer during the regular season for Game 4 on Sunday.
The Knicks didn't have enough offense without him, losing 97-90 in overtime as Terry, not the Sixth Man of the Year, hit the big shots off the bench.
Had Smith been available, perhaps this series would already be over.
"It would've been," Smith said Tuesday. "I would've been playing golf today."
Instead, he was practicing for Game 5.
The Knicks will host it Wednesday, their second attempt to close out their first series victory since 2000.
"We want to end it," leading scorer Carmelo Anthony said. "We came this far, did our job at home first two games, did our job on the road, got one on the road. We've got the opportunity to end it here on our home court."
The Knicks won the first three games, holding the Celtics to an average of 75 points, before Boston broke out — sort of — on Sunday. The Celtics scored 54 points in the first half and led by 20 early in the third quarter before their offensive struggles returned, and they were limited to just 30 points in the third and fourth quarters.
Clean up those bad stretches, and the Celtics think they can keep climbing out of the mess they created for themselves.
"There's that one quarter where we have mental lapses," forward Paul Pierce said. "They pick up the energy. They pick up the defense, and they have us on our heels, so we have to be cautious of that."

Officer fires at fleeing convict in Ark.
By Charlie Frago
Mark Grover, 42, was apprehended unharmed minutes later in the parking lot of the Electric Cowboy, a nightclub at 9515 Interstate 30, a short distance from the McDonald's at 8820 Base Line Road where the confrontation took place about 2:15 p.m.
Grover, a residential burglar serving a 10-year sentence, had walked away from work at a southwest Little Rock boating supply wholesaler on Friday. He was the fifth work-release inmate to escape since July.

Timothy Paez, 22, was tying one on at Shooters Grill and Bar in Boulder, Colo., when he noticed a woman at the bar. Perhaps he thought she was beautiful, perhaps, as he later told police, he thought she was his "former male partner." In any case he sidled up to her and slipped his arm around her. She later described the event in the police report, "On July 28, 2012, at approximately 11:45 p.m. at Shooters Bar and Grill in Boulder, CO, I was standing at the bar, facing the bar with my arms on the actual bar, the guy approached next to me slightly." Uninterested, she spurned his amorous advances, "I looked at him and said, 'Umm, really?!'" Moments later she felt what seemed like cold beer going down her leg, but it wasn't beer. Paez was again standing next to her, allegedly exposing himself and peeing on her leg, "Oh my God, he's peeing!" cried the victim.
Paez was escorted out by bouncers, and turned over to police, who asked him how much he'd had to drink and if knew what had happened. They reportedly found his responses "unintelligible" and arrested him on suspicion of public indecency and harassment. The victim was reportedly OK, but pretty "grossed out" by the whole experience.

Who wouldn't look to know what the future holds? It's tempting to try to discover what's going to happen before it actually does -- or even to try to change the future before it occurs. Since God sometimes gives angels knowledge about the future, people sometimes ask angels to tell them what they know about what will happen in their lives.
A popular way to do that is by using tarot cards, an ancient system of 78 cards illustrated with symbols called archetypes that are designed to stimulate people's psychic abilities. Often, people who use tarot cards use them to communicate with angels about the future.
Some people say that tarot cards are a useful way to learn about and even influence the future with help from the angels. Others say that the practice is spiritually dangerous because it opens people up to being influenced by fallen angels who, unlike God, don't have people's best interests in mind.
Help to Make the Best Decisions
Those who use tarot cards to ask angels for information about the future believe that the guidance they receive inspires them to make the best decisions in the present -- and the informed choices that they make right now shape what their future will be like. Barbara Moore writes in her book What Tarot Can Do for You: Your Future in the Cards that using tarot cards affects the future in two ways: through fortune-telling and divination. About fortune-telling, Moore writes, "The tarot can clearly illustrate a situation, including aspects of which we are unaware." About divination, Moore writes, "The divine, however you conceive it, usually includes the higher power that can guide you to your best possible life. The act of divination allows you to tap into that divine wisdom and love, to ask questions of it, and to incorporate it into your decision-making process."
In her book Angels: Companions in Magick, Silver RavenWolf recommends asking your guardian angel for guidance before using tarot cards, to get the best results: "For angelic spreads, you will need a deck of cleansed, consecrated, and empowered tarot cards. … Since I've been working with the angels, I've found hidden meanings in the tarot cards, including who to contact for help in the angelic realms. I've also found that if I ask my guardian angel for assistance before any reading, my predictions and insights are more accurate."
Power Within You, Not in the Cards
Pyschic Chantal Lysette writes in her book The Angel Code: Your Interactive Guide to Angelic Communication that she had used angel tarot cards in her readings with clients but came to the conclusion that she didn't really need the cards. Rather than a way to actually connect people with angels, Lysette writes, the cards were just "props" that reminded people to use their own God-given intuitive minds to communicate with angels about the future. "Since people who go to psychics often want to see cards laid out on a table and have their fortunes told, doing so can be a good business decision. But like a magician's top hat, the cards are just props -- merely there for show. And so it is in your life, as well. The power is within you, not within whatever prop you may be using."
A Controversial Practice
Many people who believe in angels don't believe in using tarot cards to ask them about the future, because of warnings against such practices in major religious texts.
The Torah and the Bible both warn against divination in numerous places, such as the 19th chapter of Leviticus, which says "Do not practice divination or sorcery." (verse 26) and "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God." (verse 31).
Muslims also avoid divination, pointing to such passages as this one from the Hadith: "He is not one of us who believes in evil omens or talismans, who goes to a fortuneteller, or goes to a sorcerer. Whoever goes to a fortuneteller and believes in what he says has disbelieved in what has been revealed upon Muhammad." (Al-Bazzaar Hadith, narrated by Imran Ibn Husayn).
In their book Kingdom of the Occult, authors Walter Martin, Jill Martin Rische, and Kurt Van Gorden warn readers to stay away from tarot cards: "Tarot cards are common tools of the occult used by mediums and laypeople alike..." they write. "The person who becomes involved with tarot readings on any level is looking for a picture of the future. Whoever claims to be able to interpret the cards (very innocent looking on the surface) is saying in reality, 'I can tell you something about the future that you do not know.' They will point the unsuspecting toward their 'inner guide' and suggest that mind, soul, and spirit be opened to its direction."
The problem with that, they continue, is that it opens people up to being influenced by the evil side of the spiritual realm: "The danger of these spirit-guides cannot be overemphasized. ... Even though some occultists refer to their spirit-guide as their 'angel,' true angels from God do not minister in realms of darkness; therefore, a spirit-guide is a counterfeit who masquerades as 'an angel of light' (2 Cor. 11:14). The only guarantee someone involved with a spirit-guide has it that it will 'guide' him or her far from God."

By Andrea Price, Category: Online Classes
According to the 2011 survey, more than 6 million students were enrolled in online schools to take at least one class online. Taking online classes has become a trend among students. Without any doubt, online learning has various benefits. However, it can be a big challenge to ensure the success of online learning.
Perhaps parents can provide some helpful assistance while their children are taking classes online. If any of your kids has interest in online learning, make sure to offer some in-time help. Have no idea of what you can do? The following tips can help you.
• Do enough research and select the most suitable classes
Once your child expresses his/her wishes to take online classes, you should work together with him/her and find out the most suitable school and classes based on specific needs. It's essential to do enough research and get to know as much info as possible.
First, you need to be clear about which level of enrollment fits for your child's needs. If your child is studying at a local school and is just intending to take an online course to supplement the regular studies, then any online school will be nice. However, you may have to find a comprehensive online school if your kid is a full-time online student. There's a big difference between part-time and full-time online students.
When it comes to online schools, you'll have tons of selections. In order to ensure a positive online learning experience, you must consider several factors when choosing a proper online school. The major criterion can be accreditation, which can ensure the quality of online courses. As a parent, you can check the online school's accreditation and background in advance. Where to find the relevant info? Visit the homepage of the online school and then you'll find details on the school you're interested in.
When selecting the right course for your kid, you'll have to decide which type of online classes work best for your child, self-paced or instructor-led courses. Typically, self-paced classes will give more freedom and allow students to complete assignments in more flexible times. On the other hand, online students can get professional guidance while taking instructor-led courses. Course materials are usually delivered in a progressive sequence. The key to decide is to talk with your child and find out which course is a better bet.
Choosing the right type of online classes for your kid does not put an end to your research. You also need to find some other info about the online class, such as class prerequisites, credits, transferability options and study time needed etc. With a comprehensive understanding of all these possible factors, you'll find out the most suitable online classes for your child's educational needs.
• Help your child prepare for online learning
Is your child fully prepared for online learning before registering for an online program? In the very beginning, you can ask yourself several questions listed below:
• Does your child have a positive attitude toward online learning?
• Is your kid conscientious and persistent in achieving goals?
• Can the kid finish homework on time on a consistent basis in the past days?
• Whether your child has encouraging supervision at home or not?
If you have positive answers to these questions, your child might be prepared for online learning. But that's not enough. You need to work hard and help your kid make preparations. To ensure successful online learning, the kid must be mature enough to complete all required tasks and assignments with little supervision from instructors. In addition, you should develop your child's time management skills, which are needed to study well and complete assignments on time.
As you know, taking online classes always requires certain technology skills. If your child is not familiar with Internet, be sure to teach him/her some technology skills that are needed for online learning. What's more, you also need to consider whether your kid can complete assignments independently. Thus a high level of motivation is encouraged.
If you're still not sure whether your kid is ready for online learning, some online learning quizzes can help you. These tests will let you know whether online learning is right for your child. Once you've made every possible effort to help your child prepare for online learning, ask your kid to take one of the online learning tests.
• Provide enough supervision and support
Though online classes offer more flexibility and freedom, online learners cannot obtain proper supervision when compared with regular students enrolled in a traditional school. Thus parents will have to supervise their children's online learning. Does your schedule allow you to offer plenty of supervision during the process of online learning? If not, you might need to make some adjustments to your current schedule.
You may doubt the importance and necessity of supervision. It's definitely essential to supervise an online learner, especially for high school students. If your child is not motivated to learn while you're not around, you must be ready to supervise his/her learning. As a parent, you also need to support your kid's online learning. Technical support is also included. Generally, you must provide a computer with Internet access.
Some online courses have special technical requirements, including supported operating systems and supported browsers. For example, some online programs require the use of Windows XP or Windows 7. So you need to ensure that proper technical support is offered.
• Monitor your kid's academic progress
Keeping track of your kid's academic progress is important if you want to ensure successful online learning. First you need to know how the online school evaluates your kid's achievement. Some online programs may use standardized tests or displays of assignments to determine students' academic progress. The results of the tests or assignments will be useful to monitor your kid's progress. Of course, you can interact with your kid's online instructor directly. The instructor will tell you your kid's academic performance directly.
If any of your children is ready to enroll in an online program and take classes online, try to provide some assistance if possible. Then your child is more likely to work well in the online learning.
That's exactly what I want to say. With more and more children taking online classes, parents can also do a lot of things, like doing research, supervising kids' progress and so on. I just want to add that not each child is ready to learn online. We must make sure our kid fits for online learning before taking online classes.
To some extent, during online learning, parents have to perform a variety of jobs that used to be done by teachers, such as selecting the right and suitable learning programs and materials, keeping an eye on the learning process, and providing learning-friendly environment.
In fact, I do not think parents should do a lot of things for their children taking online courses.
As we know, online learning requires self-discipline and self-motivation, during which the children can learn how to choose the right courses, how to balance learning and daily life, how to get responsible for learning process, and how to concentrate on the courses without the supervision and guidance of teachers. If all these things are done under the assistance of parents, I can not see much sense of learning online.
To help children successfully graduate from on online program, as parents, we surely need to do a lot. While online programs bring much convenience and comfort, they definitely require that students (especially young children) have high self-discipline. Just as what you said, whether children have a positive attitude towards online learning or whether kids are persistent in achieving goals, I think all of these cannot go without parents' supervision.
It takes a lot more time to help kids with their online school. We have to stay positive and keep them on task. It is a good idea to teach them about self-discipline too. It is hard work to do!
These forms of assistance mentioned above are important to little children, including elementary and middle school students. But now a large number of high school students and college student are taking online courses. I don't think they need parents' help. They can handle it on their own.
In my eyes, the first tip "do enough research and select the most suitable classes" is what I want to say to all parents. My 10-year-old girl is in grade 4. She is also taking some online classes now. But all her courses are selected by me and her dad. Many children at her age cannot make a wise choice. So parents need to do the work. It's important to take the right course. Otherwise, it's almost useless to take classes online.

... When was the last time the Lions won 3 of the last 8 games of the season?
Here's a hint, it was John Jett's last year as a Lion/NFL Player. Jon Kitna was named Comeback Player of the year, he played for Cincy. We were led by Joey from Friends. The Skinny Guy and the Fat Guy on TV that talk about football like they really know what they're talking about, ran the show, behind the curtains.
If you guessed 2003, you were right, good for you. If you knew it was 2003, I'm sorry.
For when we beat Minny next week, the last time the Lions won 4 of their last 8 games...
Our pass Defense gave up 16 TDs and forced 25 INTs (T-3rd best in the NFL!!!!!!). Our QB was #10. It was our last winning season, before next year. We had the best KR/PR ever, in the history of everness, Desmond Howard. Mike Anderson won OROY.
Now, for a poll...

A police check on a suspicious car parked in south Nashville early Wednesday morning led to a short foot chase with an armed suspect.
According to Metro police, around 2:30 a.m., officers noticed a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of Klub Cirok on Murfreesboro Road.
When officers approached the vehicle to investigate, a man sitting inside the vehicle later identified as convicted felon Darrelle Groves jumped out and took off running.
Officers noticed he was carrying a handgun and a short foot chase ensued.
Groves, 30, was eventually caught and taken into custody. He received minor cuts and bruises during the pursuit but was not seriously injured.
He was booked into the Metro jail on charges of evading and resisting arrest and weapons possession charges.
Groves' passenger, Arbrey Sowell, 22, was also arrested.

Stanton came to the Jets to be Mark Sanchez's backup. Then, along came Tim Tebow. Less than a week after signing Stanton, the Jets traded him to the Indianapolis Colts for an undisclosed draft pick.||||||| Stanton signed a one-year, $1.25 million deal last week to back up Mark Sanchez, but became expendable when the Jets acquired Tebow from the Denver Broncos on Wednesday. After that trade, general manager Mike Tannenbaum said Tebow would be the team's No. 2 quarterback. "It's a big relief to have this over," Stanton told The Associated Press. "I'm excited about the opportunity in Indy. I can't wait to get there and get down to business."
A person familiar with the New York Jets' plans says the team is trying to trade Stanton.||||||| The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the team hasn't announced its plans. Stanton signed a $1.25 million, 1-year deal last week to be Mark Sanchez's backup, but the Tim Tebow deal has relegated Stanton to another third-string job. He left the Detroit Lions for a chance to be a No. 2 QB after sitting behind Matthew Stafford and Shaun Hill.

A FedEx box truck was on fire along Fowler Street in Fort Myers, according to the Lee County Fire. Crews have since been able to put out the flames.
Officials we spoke with say the FedEx truck driver was heading through a back alley and drove under some power lines. When the truck went under the lines, pulling them and sparking a fire.
A witness on scene says there were big flames, smoke and sparks.
"Next thing you know the wires were under the vehicle and caught on fire - just came up and engulfed the truck," said witness CJ Shalch.
The driver of the truck was able to get out and is OK. Officials we spoke with explained the truck was located in front of 3450 Fowler Street when it stopped. But no damage to the building was reported.
Because of the downed power lines, power is out for the buildings and houses nearby.
Crews are now cleaning up the scene.

Sellout: The Politics of Racial Betrayalby Randall Kennedy
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the wake of his controversial national best-seller, Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word, Randall Kennedy grapples brilliantly and judiciously with another stigma of our racial discourse: "selling out," or racial betrayal, which is a subject of much anxiety and acrimony in Black America. He atomizes the vicissitudes of the term and shows how its usage bedevils blacks and whites, while elucidating the effects it has on individuals and on our society as a whole.
Kennedy begins his exploration of selling out with a cogent, historical definition of the "black" community, accounting precisely for who is considered black and who is not. He looks at the ways in which prominent members of that community--Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and Barack Obama, among others--have been stigmatized as sellouts. He outlines the history of the suspicion of racial betrayal among blacks, and he shows how current fears of selling out are expressed in thought and practice. He offers a rigorous and bracing case study of the quintessential "sellout"--Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, perhaps the most vilified black public official in American history. And he gives is a first-person reckoning of how he himself has dealt with accusations of having sold out at Harvard, especially after the publication of Nigger.
Lucidly and powerfully articulated, Sellout is essential to any discussion of the troubled history of race in America.
The author of Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word addresses the meaning and issue of "selling out," as he analyzes the ways in which the term is used by both blacks and whites, as well its influence on both individuals and society as a whole. 75,000 first printing.
Randall Kennedy is the Michael R. Klein Professor of Law at Harvard University. He is a member of the bars of the District of Columbia and the Supreme Court of the United States, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the American Philosophical Association. His book Race, Crime, and the Law won the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award.

Lean Sigma Methods and Tools for Service Organizations: The Story of a Cruise Line Transformation
Both Six Sigma and Lean are widely recognized and implemented; and both have been successful in creating value within a variety of organizations, mostly in manufacturing concerns. Lean Sigma Methods and Tools for Service Organizations proposes to integrate the best practices from each of these philosophies and apply them to an organization whose overriding mission is to deliver superior service to its customers.
The authors demonstrate in this book how key components of both Six Sigma and Lean, such as identifying and removing defects, elimination of waste, metrics, speed of delivery and the seamless integration of these concepts and practices throughout the operation" serve to deliver the kind of value that customers recognize and which allows the organization to be successful. These Lean Sigma concepts and how they apply to services are compellingly illustrated in the book by focusing on the transformation of a specific service organization: a cruise ship offering a full range of on-board services including guest services, gaming, entertainment, food and medical services, retail sales, security, events and adventure planning, operations and maintenance, purchasing and logistics, human resources and training and administration of payroll and accounting. By covering Lean Sigma applications in each of these areas in a story book format, service providers can begin to understand how Lean Sigma methods and tools can be applied in their service organizations.
Through a unique and captivating story of two competitive brothers; one (Joe) who has had phenomenal success with Lean Sigma methods and tools in a manufacturing business, and the other (Larry), the manager of a cruise line desperately in need of improvement in all performance areas, this story illustrates the discovery, application and transformation of a variety of service organizations supporting the cruise line operations. This book applies the concepts of Lean Six Sigma to the service industry. These concepts were developed in the manufacturing industry and have not been widely applied in the service space. The book uses a story telling approach about a cruise line in financial trouble that achieves turn around with Lean Six Sigma.

NBC's Curry Sees Doom for GOP in 2012 in Wake of Herman Cain Controversy
Updated [11:22 ET]: More analysis and full transcript added.
At the top of Thursday's NBC Today, co-host Ann Curry reported on Herman Cain's campaign blaming Rick Perry for dredging up sexual harassment allegations against the Republican front-runner and then wondered: "Will this intra-party fight hurt the Republican Party's chance of taking back the White House?" [Audio available here]
Later, in an interview with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus Curry touted the back and forth among the GOP primary candidates as a "serious feud" and asked: "Do you think this scandal has affected your party's ability to unseat Barack Obama?" [View video after the jump]
Curry began the interview by worrying: "The question is how is the party and how is Herman Cain's candidacy? Let me ask you straight out. Can Herman Cain's candidacy for president survive the claims of sexual harassment from three women and now also this eyewitness?" Priebus began to explain that vigorous tough primary fight can help the party, but Curry stopped him: "But let me interrupt you, this – what's happening here though is – seems to be something else. There seems to be a intra-party conflict, a rivalry."
Curry went on to suggest that Priebus was somehow in charge of telling the GOP campaigns how to conduct themselves and what tactics to use: "Let me get your rules of the road as an RNC chair. If a rival campaign did leak this, does this cross the line in terms of the party and how things are done and not done?"
Here is a full transcript of the November 3 interview:
MATT LAUER: The story involving Herman Cain has taken a dramatic new turn, another woman coming forward.
ANN CURRY: No kidding, that's right. As we just mentioned now, a third woman claims she made – that Cain made suggestive – sexually suggestive remarks and gestures to her back in the 1990s This as the Cain campaign blasts Rick Perry's camp, saying his operatives set off the whole firestorm. Will this intra-party fight hurt the Republican Party's chance of taking back the White House? We're going to talk with the Party's chairman straight ahead and ask that question.
CURRY: Reince Priebus is the chairman of the Republican National Committee. Reince, good morning.
REINCE PRIEBUS: Hey, good morning, Ann. How are you?
CURRY: I'm okay.
PRIEBUS: Great.
CURRY: The question is how is the party and how is Herman Cain's candidacy? Let me ask you straight out. Can Herman Cain's candidacy for president survive the claims of sexual harassment from three women and now also this eyewitness?
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Cain Controversy; Third Woman Claims Candidate Was Sexually Inappropriate]
PRIEBUS: Well, I mean, it depends on the veracity of the claims. And you know, I'm not the referee, Ann, here. You know, primaries are tough and I just happen to believe that primaries are good for the party. I think that when you have the horsepower on your side of the aisle, like we have on the Republican side, they work.
You know, I come from Wisconsin and, you know, we have a new governor there that you know very well, by the name of Scott Walker. He came through a very tough primary. They work. And, by the way, you look at Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, they fought it out all the way through the end of June before a national convention. And guess what? It worked out pretty well for him. He took a super majority to congress, a 60-vote majority to the United States Senate-
CURRY: But let me interrupt you here and ask you-
PRIEBUS: So primaries work, Ann.
CURRY: But let me interrupt you, this – what's happening here though is – seems to be something else. There seems to be a intra-party conflict, a rivalry. Kind of almost a serious feud. You've got – which do you believe? Do you believe Cain is right in pointing the finger at the Perry campaign or do you think the Perry campaign is being honest in saying that it had nothing to do with this leak?
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: GOP vs. GOP; Party Chief on New Fight Between Cain and Perry]
PRIEBUS: Listen, I'm not going to get in the middle of it. You know, and it's not my job to be the referee. My job is to make sure the-
CURRY: You are the head of the RNC, however, in some ways you are.
PRIEBUS: Well, yeah, of course I'm the head of the RNC, but as part of the RNC is that we don't pick winners and losers in presidential elections. My job, Ann, is to make sure that we have a Republican National Committee that's ready to go and we have a nominee. My job is to make sure that we put a good nominee on the ballot and that we defeat Barack Obama and save this country from an economy that's just not on track. And that's really what Americans want. Now, whether – who that nominee is going to be, that's anybody's guess. But getting into-
CURRY: Does this scandal – interrupting you, I'm so sorry for that, I know that's bad behavior, but let me just sort of get these questions in – do you think this scandal has affected your party's ability to unseat Barack Obama?
RIENCE PRIEBUS: Absolutely not. I mean, if you look at the polling, and you look at where Americans are at in this, in this country, they, number one, believe by 80% that this country is on the wrong track. They believe that this president hasn't delivered on his promises, and guess what? The President came to America. The President came to us as the great uniter. And now he's out campaigning as the great divider, pitting everyone against everybody, Republicans versus Democrats, rich versus poor. The economy couldn't be in any worse shape than it is right now.
And, you know, I think Americans are ready for a change. I mean, that, we know, is a constant. This issue and other issues are going to come and go, but at the end of the day, Americans are not going to believe that this president delivered on his promises or that the economy is in any better shape today than it was four years ago. It's worse.
CURRY: Let's get back to the issue at hand. And specifically now, you know the Perry campaign is also pointing the finger at the Romney campaign. So let me just get your rules of the road here.
PRIEBUS: Yeah, and I didn't even – I didn't even know that. So you're telling me information. So, there you go.
CURRY: Well, there you are. Well, a lot of this broke over the last 24 hours. Let me get your rules of the road as an RNC chair. If a rival campaign did leak this, does this cross the line in terms of the party and how things are done and not done?
PRIEBUS: You know, I don't think so. I mean, I think – and first of all, I don't know what's true and what's not. And it's not our job to be the Sherlock-
CURRY: But does it cross the line, in your view, if, in fact, it happened?
PRIEBUS: We're not the Sherlock Holmes of the – we're not the Sherlock Holmes of the presidential primary field. We've got 21 candidates, Ann, that filed in New Hampshire. What we are, are people who are trying to put the party together to rebuild our Republican National Committee, to get prepared for a president who's campaigning nonstop, all the time, raising money every single night. And we're going to be prepared with a nominee that's intelligent, articulate, and can earn the trust of the American people, to save this economy from a president who hasn't delivered and who just continues to give speeches but doesn't follow through. I mean, that's really where we're at in this country.
CURRY: Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, I'm sorry we're out of time but we really appreciate your joining us this morning. Thank you.
PRIEBUS: You bet. Thank you, Ann.

Curry's Limited Mind -- Incredible Curry Quote
Submitted by libBuster on Thu, 11/03/2011 - 12:01pm.
I know its in vogue to insult the intellect of people you disagree with. But in Curry's case it may be justified. This from Ladies Home Journal:
She was warm and earnest, but also a little spacey; Al Roker once called her "our ambassador from Planet Zebulon." And she had a kind of ditzy, girlish innocence. In 1998, when I interviewed her for this magazine, a Today staffer told me how they were going to cover picture hanging on the show, and they were all discussing it. "Yes!" Curry piped up. "It's so important to be well hung." "We all started snickering," the staffer said, "and Ann was going, 'What? What? What did I say?'"

The short answer: Too early to tell
Submitted by Galvanic on Thu, 11/03/2011 - 10:58am.
Ann Curry: "Will this intra-party fight hurt the Republican Party's chance of taking back the White House?"
I think that's a legitimate question. Afterall, Cain said the revelation of the settlement/agreement was racially motivated, and then a day or two later, he blamed Perry's campaign for the publicizing of it. Condoleeza Rice warned against throwing the Race Card, and it turns out she was right; if a member of Perry's team did release this information, the MSM will use Cain's own race card on Perry. Very messy.
Ann Curry: "Do you think this scandal has affected your party's ability to unseat Barack Obama?"
Since we still don't know the nature of the sexual harassment accusations, this "scandal" question is rather premature. Curry has apparently skipped ahead a few pages in the script.
I think the best response for Republicans when questioned about Cain and the impact of the revelation, is to throw questions back at the interviewer and let them stumble for 'facts.'

OK they hope that this will bump off Herman Cain and take Rick Perry with him. That boosts Obama how exactly? If they do not have something on Romney even he will beat the horse Obama. Newt Gingrich will eat Obama as a light snack. They may think that all of the rich contributors Newt's Solutions has had might drat him down, if so they have believed their own propaganda.
If not Herman Cain at the top of the ticket picking him up as number 2 would give the President candidate something to work with in taking the Senate and tying down the house. The question that the MSM needs to ask is who can Obama beat? He after all before beating John McCain had won every election by scandal and when the other guy did not have a scandal as in an Illinois legislative seat Obama lost.
I know the guy is a pretty radical black racist but still someone should interview the guy who beat Obama in Illinois.

Libs' Imaginary Friends...
Submitted by Annie Ashe Fields on Thu, 11/03/2011 - 11:41am.
...These people see things that aren't there - REPEATEDLY.
To this day, I remember Paula Jones' bad perm. We all still live in the fresh hell of Anthony Weiner's weiner picture still in our minds' eye We remember the testimony that Bubba dropped trou and said 'Wanna kiss it'?
In short, we had faces, names, quotes and witnesses who backed them up. We have witnesses now who say they saw something in a restaurant and a talk-radio station hallway but won't give specifics. Unlike the original complainants, these 'witnesses' are not bound by any legal covenant. Note, too, the venues we are talking about: a restaurant and a radio station hallway are public places; not a hotel room or other private place… These people, Cain's accusers & so-called witnesses are just throwing out fire-bombs of innuendo. And speaking of throwing firebombs of innuendo…
…We have the reporters in the initial Politico story not giving details about exactly what happened, in, as they themselves have framed it, some gentlemanly effort to protect the woman… Content, evidently with the result, which is to slander the reputation of the #1 GOP Presidential candidate, which is the only possible result from publishing with such a thin story if you have zero publishing standards but 110% agenda. (Parenthetically,didn't Politico get some Soros money a few months back? I know Media Matters did. Duh. But didn't Politico?)
Cain has accused Perry of doing this, based on the reasonable conclusion that since someone with knowledge of the 1990′s settlement went to work for him 2 weeks ago. 10 days ago the story bubbled then hit the front page Sunday night.
This morning I awake to see that Drudge has some stories that Rahm Emmanuel may have had a hand in this.
Okay… I'm not suggesting that this was coordinated between the two, but if you can't follow the money the second best thing is benefit. Who does this benefit?
For GOP it would be Perry, of course, because it must be killing them, just fricking vexing to them that their guy, who started with so much heat, can't get out of the cool basement of single digits.
For Democrats the natural beneficiary to taking Cain down a peg or two would be Obama, of course, who has been campaigning all along like Romney is going to be their opponent.
CONSIDER: They've spent campaign money already putting out ads & talking points as though Romney is their guy. Ferkryssakes! What do you think this whole OWS thing is? It's an effort to foment civil unrest, next summer, during the conventions, after having spent the winter painting Romney as a Wall Street guy – their named enemy.
I'd bet my HOUSE it's not just the polls we see on television & the internet that have Cain #1. I'd bet these campaigns have internal polling – always far more accurate & detailed – that shows Herman Cain's support far, far, far, far, far stronger than anyone's previously suspected and each campaign looked at it like good campaigns do and said, 'Where's his soft-underbelly? What's the biggest balloon on these numbers we can prick to deflate this Cain train and stop it'?
Cain's support rests largely on a huge amount of good-will. Ephemeral good will.
Make him a philanderer and…
Look – Obama can't – CAN'T - face a strong black man in the General Election. It'll look like the 98-pound weakling punk-ass kid, clutching his trust-fund paid Harvard degree getting a finger-wagging scolding from his grandfather telling him to quit his nancy-boy whining, man-up, and get the frickin' job done.
He'll lose, and he knows it.
Therefore, based on all the foregoing, I, for one, believe the internal polls told them the Cain train was coming and Rahm was set loose – and Perry planted the story.
Sigh… This is going to be a long Primary.

I read somewhere that the two women who accused Cain of sexual harassment and received a settlement are now doing nicely in their professional careers.
Has anyone asked them how many other sexual harassment suits they have filed? Was there a pattern? And I'm curious as to what constitues "sexual harassment". The definition has broadened so much over the years that's it's not possible to tell in many cases what the actual offense was.
There are many women in the federal government who's careers became successful after one or two sexual discrimination lawsuits gave them promotions into fields they didn't qualify for along with back pay. A nice spring-board that's not available to males, especially white males.

on Herman Cain rather than on the violent "Occupy Wall Street" mobs in Oakland and other places.
I've also noticed that the main stream media is no longer comparing the "OWS" mobs to the well behaved "Tea Partiers".
Perhaps it is because it has become obvious to everyone that the "OWS" mobs can be more accurately described as more like urine smelling "Pee Partiers" than "Tea Partiers".

The stuff happening in recent hours of the OWS is extremely troubling but not surprising in that it's getting really bad(according to headlines on Drudge) that as someone pointed out, could lead to someone declaring an emergency that could lead to some martial law action. Or worse.
